A Tall Position Filled 



The Rev. Dr. Ernest Gordon, 
dean emeritus of the Chapel at 
Princeton University, will preach 
at Susquehanna University Sun- 
day, Sept. 14, at 3:30 p.m. Service 
of Installation for the Rev. Chris- 
topher M. Thomforde as chaplain 
to the university. 

Dean Gordon is currently pres- 
ident of CREED, the Christian 
Rescue Effort for the Emancipa- 
tion of Dissidents, the Washing- 
ton-based agency active in main- 
taining contact and securing free- 
dom for persecuted Christians in 
the Soviet Union. 

Chaplain Thomforde, formerly 
pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran 
Church in Dansville, N.Y., began 
his duties at Susquehanna last 
April. He is a graduate of Prince- 
ton University, where he was an 
honorable mention Ail-American 
basketball player, and of the Yale 
University Divinity School. 

He is a former teacher of 
English and European history at 
Tunghai University in Taichung, 
Taiwan, and for four years was 
assistant chaplain and instructor 
of philosophy and religion at Col- 
gate University. 

His formal installation as Sus- 
quehanna's chaplain will be con- 
ducted by the Rev. A. Donald 



Main, dean of the Sunbury Dis- 
trict, Central Pennsylvania 
Synod of the Lutheran Church in 
America. 

Dr. Gordon was dean of the 
chapel at Princeton from 1955 
until 1 98 1 , when he became dean 
emeritus. He also lectured at the 
university and at the Princeton 
Theological Seminary. Earlier, he 
was the director of the Westmin- 
ster Foundation and was deputy 
minister at Paisley Abbey in 
Scotland. 

He studied at St. Andrew's 
University, Edinburgh Univer- 
sity, and Glasgow University and 
earned master's and doctoral 
degrees from Hartford Theologi- 
cal Seminary. 

A company commander in the 
2nd Battalion of the Argyll and 
Sutherland Highlanders during 
World War II, he was awarded 
several decorations and was a 
prisoner of war on the Railroad 
of Death in Thailand for three 
years. His book, "Miracle on the 
River Kwai," was based on this 
experience. 

He is also the author of "A liv- 
ing Faith for Today," "Meet Me 
at the Door," "Guidebook for the 
New Christian," "Solan," and 
"Me, Myself, and Who?" 



Keeping it Alive 



Imagine this: no paintings, no 
plays, no music. .No music? 
What will we dance to? What will 
we party to? It's a sobering 
thought (no pun intended). These 
are all forms of art that color our 
lives. Here at SU you have had 
and will continue to have the 
experience of all that the arts 
have to offer you. One lone or- 
ganization has dared to do the im- 
possible: awaken SU students 
from their stupor of unconscious- 
ness and herd them into the artis- 
tic corral. ("Git along lil dogies!") 
We're talking Arts Alive. 

Arts Alive is a campus project 
made up of a group of students 
who have devoted their lives (or 
at least two hours a week!) to in- 
forming you, the student, of ar- 
tistic events on campus. How, 
you may ask, can one organiza- 
tion do this? In the past, we have 
used word-of -mouth (and, believe 
me, we have some pretty big 
mouths) and wonderfully creative 
posters designed by our very 
own, talented, poster-producing 



personnel. This year, we have 
also added messages on the Texas 
EFN board (you know, that com- 
puter thing you glance at above 
the campus center desk on your 
way to the cafe) and also the local 
cable news station on TV. 

Last year our dedication paid 
off: we received the prestigious 
Tent Watchers Award (yeah, 
that's right, the TENT Watchers 
Award — an annual award given 
to an organization showing out- 
standing service to SU. For a 
complete historical background 
of this award, talk to Lance 
Sadlek in the Campus Center. He 
is just dying to share his vast 
knowledge of this subject with 
you!) This year we're going to 
work harder than ever to bring 
you closer to the arts. 

You may be saying, "Hey, I 
have an accordion recital coming 
up, and I'm gonna wail out those 
polka favorites! What can Arts 
Alive do for me?" Friend, you are 
not alone. Arts Alive has antici- 
pated your need (and others in 



Dr. Gordon is a member of the 
Ethics Advisory Committee of 
the United States Information 
Agency (USIA) and of the Board 
of Reference of Keston College in 
England. 

A number of Susquehanna of- 
ficials, led by President Joel Cun- 
ningham, will participate in the 
installation service along with 
representatives from the Central 
Pennsylvania Synod, university 
students, the Rev. Joseph Celia, 
pastor of St. Pius X Roman Cath- 
olic Church, Selinsgrove, and 
Catholic Campus Ministry 
leader, and the Rev. Dr. R. Ter- 
rence Foor, president of the Se- 
linsgrove Area Ministerium and 
pastor of St. Paul's United 
Church of Christ. 

An ecclesiastical procession of 
area and synod clergy will 
precede the service, to which the 
general public is invited. 

Following the service, a recep- 
tion for Chaplain Thomforde and 
his family will take place in the 
Mellon Lounge of Susquehanna's 
Degenstein Campus Center. The 
chaplain is married to the former 
Christine Stone and they are the 
parents of Christopher Marc, 
Rebecca Elizabeth, Sarah Marie, 
and Jonathan Stephen.

By allowing us 2-3 weeks advance 
notice, we can plan a publicity 
package you can be proud 
of.. .and you'll be well on your 
way to signing a contract with 
K Tel Records. It's easy to do: 
Simply call Suite C of Seibert 
Hall (Ext. 3928) or send a note to 
Glenn Jones or Carol Glenn c/o 
Campus Mail. You can even 
design your very own logo or cre- 
ative design. We aim to please: no 
poster too complicated— no job 
too big (and the service is free!). 
Just remember, we need 2-3 
weeks notice for the project. 

Susquehanna has a wicked 
Artist Series program lined up 
this year. We will be hosting 
several professional companies 
who want to perform just for 
you. Now you may be saying to 
yourself, "Self, where is all this 
cultural enrichment waiting just 
for me?" Friend, you're in luck.

Who 's New at SU 



This being the first edition of 
the Crusader in the 1986-87 
school year, it seems only proper 
to introduce the new faculty. 
These new faces that joined us 
here at Susquehanna are, An- 
tonin Rusek of the economic de- 
partment, Mark Dewalt from the 
Education department, Susan 
Johnson from the modern lan- 
guage department, and Robert 
KM from the music department. 

We obtained interviews from 
these people to discover their edu- 
cational background and to find 
out about their lives before SU. 
Also we wished to ask them their 
impressions of the life, faculty 
and students at SU. 

Originally from Czechoslova- 
kia, Antonin Rusek came to 
America and attended the Brague 
School of Economics. There he 
graduated in 1972 and received a 
four year degree in economics. 
Rusek continued his education at 
the State University of New York 
at Stonybrook until he attained a 
PhD in economics in 1984. 



Rusek's first teaching job was 
in Rapids City, South Dakota. In 
Rapids City, he taught economics 
at the South Dakota School of 
Minds and Technology. 

Rusek now lives on Market 
Street in Selinsgrove and works in 
our economic department. He en- 
joys working in our small depart- 
ment with the other people there. 
Rusek said that in a bigger 
university, there are assistants to 
help with the workload. Here at 
Susquehanna, he has to do the 
majority of the work. However, 
the benefit of a small college is 
that it is easier for his students to 
get in touch with him if they have 
any problems. 

Living in this area of Pennsyl- 
vania is a big change from South 
Dakota. Rusek likes the fact that 
the nearest city is only 3 hours 
away. He commented that the 
"area is beautiful and not too far 
from the big cities." Also, when 
asked about his impressions of his 
students he said, "It has been on- 
ly a week. The people seem inter- 
ested, but I don't want to make a

Don't Blame Sports 



Here On Campus 



1 have a comic strip hanging on 
the bulletin board over my desk. 
A TV interviewer comments to a 
coach on the misfortune of unex- 
pectedly losing last year's starting 
quarterback. The coach is shaken 
by the loss: "He was the last one 
in the world you'd expect to go 
and do something like graduate." 

While this may be humorous 
to some (myself included), it's cer- 
tainly not original. Enough is 
enough. Over the last few years 
we've heard all about the con- 
ning, clumsiness and corruption 
of college sport. A pitiful part of 
human nature is its tendency to 
emphasize the negative, a crime 
I'm more guilty of than most. 

For once I'm fed up with cyni- 
cism. The value of college ath- 
letics, when they are approached 
properly, should not be underesti- 
mated. Life is a series of mo- 
ments. We have to push our- 
selves to our limit day to day, 



Our Comer 



hour to hour, minute to minute, 
in order to progress through 
months and years. This takes dis- 
cipline. 

College sport is a course in dis- 
cipline. It teaches responsibility 
and routine — day to day, week 
to week, game to game. It teaches 
how to push down walls of per- 
sonal limitations and strive for 
the next wall down the road. It 
teaches leadership and, more im- 
portantly, the underestimated art 
of knowing when to follow. It 
teaches respect for those more 
knowledgeable — a willingness to 
listen and learn. Perhaps most im- 
portant of all, sports teaches how 
to deal with loss. 

Bill Bradley was an All-Ameri- 
can basketball player at Prince- 
ton and an All-Pro with the New 
York Knicks. His sweet shot 
helped that now fragile franchise 
to win a championship at the be- 
ginning of the last decade. Bill 
Bradley was a Rhodes Scholar. 
He is now a New Jersey Senator, 



Let's start with the basics: A 
hearty welcome to the entire SU 
family. Hope you all enjoyed the 
summer. 

The SU family is a little large 
this year. In fact, one-third of the 
campus is made up of newcom- 
ers. This fact should be known to 
all faculty and returning students 
who were beginning to believe 
that they were either a) at the 
wrong school or b) losing their 
memory. I know I kept saying to 



myself, "Self, don't you know 
anyone here?" (A little Dr. 
Walker humor there, for those of 
you who've had him.) 

I guess we all have to give a lit- 
tle to make this work. If everyone 
would please avoid excess breath- 
ing in the dorms to conserve air 
supplies and sleep three to a bed, 
we should just breeze right 
through. Also, so that the cafete- 
ria will run more smoothly, the 
Dean has asked me to request 
that students only eat every other 
day, alternating days with their

considered by many in Washing- 
ton to be a future Democratic 
candidate for the Presidency. 

Jack Kemp from New York is 
a leading figure for the Republi- 
cans in the House of Representa- 
tives. He is thought to be a future 
Presidential candidate as well. He 
started his career in politics after 
concluding his career as quar- 
terback with the AFL's Buffalo 
Bills in the mid-sixties. 

Granted, these two men are ex- 
ordinary examples. Sports are ob- 
viously not the sole or necessary 
means to a successful end. My 
point is, athletics can be extreme- 
ly beneficial. 

So the next time a Len Bias or 
Don Rogers drops dead from too 
much of the "real thing," or the 
next time we meet a jock who's 
been to jail more often than to 
class, let's remember to blame the 
individual rather than his sport.

roommates. As for shower usage, 
a sore-spot last year, a new sys- 
tem has been worked out. Each 
hall will be given a "shower 
week" each month. That way the 
four halls in each dorm will get to 
shower one week a month (see 
your RA for details). 

Enough of this jocularity, as 
Father Mulchahy would say. The 
truth is that housing is a problem 
at the moment, but the school is 
working on it and hopes to have 
everyone in "normal" housing by 
the second term (if you can call a 
dorm normal). The caf. was a 
pain the first day, but things seem 
to be running a little smoother 
now. I think well get by, and get- 
ting more students now can only 
help the future recruiting, a ma- 
jor concern of the SU planning 
document drafted last year. 

Some of you may have been 
expecting an issue of the Cru- 
sader last week. Well, to be hon- 
est, so were we, but complica- 
tions with our contract with the 
printer were as yet unresolved. 
However, that is all behind us 
now, and we're ready to take on 
the year. We are currently amass- 
ing an army of workers, so large 
that the meetings may have to be 
moved out of our modest-sized 
office. If you want to help, we 
still welcome all comers, so drop 
us a line through campus mail or 
stop by the Wed. night meetings: 
7 p.m. in the basement of the 
campus center. 

I'm sure this year will have 
many events of general interest to 
the campus, so a reminder to all 
would-be letter writers: all letters 
must be signed and typed, double 
spaced, please. Feel free to write 
to us, but remember that we can- 
not print libelous statements or 
other "risque" remarks. 

I have stretched this one typed 
page column to one and a half, 
but it won't stretch any farther. 
Let's have a good weekend, but 
remember to save a little for 
Monday morning (what a 
disgusting thought). 

Editor 



Welcome to the start of a new 
year. Starting the year fresh is 
"Here on Campus." The object of 
this new column describing the 
clubs, organizations, and projects 
is to inform the students of trie 
college opportunities available. 
Not all will appeal to each in- 
dividual, but the forty campus 
organizations are diversified 
enough that one will probably ap- 
peal to you. 

Some clubs are geared toward 
majors and career interests: 
English club, Economics club, 
and Career Crusaders. But maybe 
your interest lies in developing a 
technique; therefore, you may en- 
joy the Photography club, The 
Crusader, or WQSU. On the 
other hand, Intra Varsity Chris- 
tian Fellowship, Worship Com- 
mittee, and Chapel Council may 



fulfill your religious needs. Sports 
clubs are open to athletes who 
may not want all the rigorous ex- 
ercise of a varsity team. Other or- 
ganizations, SAC and SGA, have 
sub-committees that may appeal 
to you. For those interested mu- 
sic-oriented students, SU Cham- 
ber Singers, SU Concert Band, 
and Stadium Band hold tryouts 
each year. 

Projects and clubs are an im- 
portant part of Susquehanna, be- 
cause they provide the students 
with a chance to work outside of 
the university as well as benefit- 
ing students on campus. Each 
week this column will report the 
activities happening and inform 
those who wish to participate.

Sports Corner 



Welcome Back! As we start the 
1986-87 school year, we have 
new students, new faculty, new 
classes, and yes, a new column. 
"Sports Corner" is aimed at 
highlighting sports events on 
campus and off campus. This col- 
umn will give you the facts with a 
slight humour factor (hopefully). 

To start with let's talk Cy 
Young Awards. Right now 
"Rocking" Roger has the AL 
wrapped upwith a 21-4 record (at 
last count). The NL could be 
given to the entire Mets staff, or 
just Bob Ojeda (sorry Mike Scott 
and Fernando, not marvelous 
enough). At last count Ojeda was 
16-5 with an attractive ERA. 
Maybe Bob and Roger better talk 
to Mr. Sutcliff and Mr. 
Saberhagan before winning the 
coveted pitching award. After 
winning the )award in 1985, 
Sutcliff is now 4-13 and 
Saberhagan 4-11. Is it really 
worth it? 

Looks like Herchel Walker has 
a home. All Herchel did was 
enter last Monday night's game 
and score two touchdowns, in- 
cluding the game winner in 
Dallas' 31-28 triumph over the 
New York Giants (sorry, New 
Jersey Giants). This ought to add 
some fuel to Tony Dorsett's fire. 
Hope that ankle gets better, 
Tony, Herchel says to take your 
time. 



Jim McMahon is down again. 
Reports say that Jim will be out 
for approximately three weeks 
with a slightly separated 
shoulder. What I want to know is 
did that happen in the game or 
one the sidelines giving a head- 
butt to a 300 lb. lineman? 

Some thoughts for next week: 
Can anyone beat Ivan Lendl? or 
Martina? Will the Houston Oilers 
hold onto their lead in the AFC 
Central? When does the USFL 
season start? who cares? What 
happened to the good old fashion 
pennant race? Comments are en- 
couraged. See you next week.

Wednesday evenings at 7 
p.m. The Crusader will hold 
its weekly staff meeting. At 
these meetings the assign- 
ments of articles for the com- 
ing issues of the paper will be 
distributed. Also, people wan- 
ting to help with layout, pro- 
duction, photography and 
typing of the paper are wel- 
come to attend the meeting. 
Anyone who is interested in 
writing for the paper or help- 
ing out in any way should at- 
tend. The meeting will be held 
in The Crusader office located 
on the bottom floor of the 
Campus Center.

Intervarsity Christian Fellow- 
ship, a nondenominational organ- 
ization, has increased its member- 
ship by over 50% from last year. 
The group meets every Thursday 
at 6:15 in the Greta Ray lounge 
and has had an organizational 
meeting and a picnic so far. 
Future plans include a weekend 
camping retreat from Sept. 26-28. 
Anyone interested in the retreat 
should contact: Gary Daniels 
(ext. 3949), Matt Boynton (ext. 
3272), or Jill Schafer (374-3514). 



LIBRARY 

There is more to the campus 
library than most students know. 
For example, our library is a 
member of an association that 
lets Susquehanna students check 
out books at most major public 
libraries and college libraries in 
Pennsylvania. The books can be 
returned by dropping them off at 
our library and U.P.S. will deliver 
them to the other libraries. SU 
also received a grant to install the 
telefacsimile transmission equip- 
ment that will permit the learning 
center to exchange printed 
material over the telephone with 
other libraries. Our library can 
also loan books to other libraries, 
as well as borrow books. SU has 
lent books to places as far away 
as the Soviet Union and has bor- 
rowed books from Kuala Lum- 
pur, Malaysia. 



SU is looking to organize a 
Crew Club for men and women. 
Anyone interested in participat- 
ing in a rowing team is invited to 
attend an introductory meeting 
to discuss the possibilities. No 
rowing experience is required. 
The meeting will be held on Tues- 
day, Sept. 23 at 8:30 p.m. in the 
campus center meeting rooms 3 
and 4. 



Note: The Crusader needs driv- 
ers. Anyone who is interested in 
making a run to Lewisburg on 
Wed. mornings at 9 a.m. or to 
Milton on Fri. mornings at 1 1:30 
a.m. should contact The Cru- 
sader through campus mail. The 
jobs pay $10 and $13, respective 

ly. 




2 22" high x 12" across 
speakers, turntable - never 
used, am/fm stereo, single

Looking for a work-study 
job? Interested in working 
weekends doing maintenance 
work? If so, contact Pat Ken- 
nedy, Box 1289, via campus

1986-87 Admissions Student Host 

Admissions is looking for enthusiastic and hospitable 
Crusaders to host visiting prospective students. As a host 
you will help provide an opportunity for these students to 
get a glimpse of SU, up close and personal. By allowing a stu- 
dent to stay overnight in a dorm, attend classes and meet 
with professors and coaches, you could help influence a pro- 
spective student into becoming a future Crusader. 

Interested students are urged to apply.* Applications are 
available in the Admissions Office, 514 University Avenue. 
The deadline is Friday, September 19. Interviews will be held 
September 21-24, from 6-9 p.m. Remuneration will be given 
to all hosts. 

For more information, please contact Pamela M. Allen, Ad- 
missions, 372-4260, ext. 4260. 

*Host must reside on campus.

It'sUreek to Us 



PHI MU DELTA 



Hi Kids! Welcome to the first 
Phi Mu Delta "It's Greek to Us" 
column for the year. It's been a 
year or two since I've written one 
of these so bear with me. 

I hope the first two weeks at 
SU have gone well for everyone. 
Up at the MUDHOUSE (that's 
Phi Mu Delta-speak for our 
house at 600 University Avenue) 
things have been hopping! 
There's been a great bunch of 
new faces mixing it up with the 
old. The two together have added 
up to one good time after an- 
other^ Let's keep it up. 

Time for a recap of a great 
summer for Phi Mu Delta. We 
are proud to announce that our 
Chapter — Mu Alpha — was the 
recipient of the Phi Mu Delta Na- 
tional Fraternity's Outstanding 
Chapter Award which was pre- 
sented at our National Conclave 
held at Ohio Northern this past 
August. Nine of our Brothers at- 
tended the event. ..and there was 
much rejoicing! LIB was the cor- 
porate headquarters for two 
weeks in August. Thanks to Jim 
Higgins and the Invasion for a 
rockin' good time at Rich Der- 
rick's party. 



Congratulations to all of our 
Little Sister Pledges. I must say, 
you are a lovely group. Work on 
those signatures! A big welcome 
back also goes out to the wonder- 
ful ladies who have made this 
program such a success the past 
two years.

Spiker's Ready 



The crowd roars after another 
scintillating kill. Now it's game 
point and the volleyball is set up 
for a play. Elevating from the 
floor in a gazelle-like motion, a 
Crusader woman spikes the ball 
home, prompting the crowd to 
erupt into an uncontrollable 
frenzy. 

To see this kind of action and 
much, much more, come see the 
Susquehanna volleyball team 
live, in their new playing facility, 
O.W. Houts gym. Second year 
coach Debora Fore hopes to im- 
prove on last year's sub-par 11-17. 
final record. Losing some of the 
old wood from last year's squad, 
the Crusaders graduated six 
seniors. Replacing the missed ex- 
perience will be a new breed of 
youth. Characterized by speed, 
dexterity, and a will to win, these 
girls should display some 
moments of excellence to bak up 
the more experienced up- 
perclassmen. Returning to lead 
the team is senior Donna Neal, 
hailing out of Greenlawn, N.Y., 
and sophomore Barb Weigle of 
York Springs, Pa. Weigle will 
also combine with her freshman 



sister Missy to form an unstop- 
pable tandem. Two first-year 
players who will be making a gut- 
sy transition from basketball to 
volleyball are sophomore Lisa 
Daecher and senior Bena Reaid. 



If you want to witness supreme 
volleyball action, then check out 
your fall sports schedule and visit 
majestic O.W. Houts gym.

On The Ball 



On the soccer field, the Cru- 
saders hope to be better than 
ever while attempting to sur- 
pass their 7-7-1 mark last year. 
Coached by David Hahn and 
new assistant and SU alumnus 
Harry Powers, the Susque- 
hanna hooters plan to come 
on strong to every competitor. 

Leading the team are cap- 
tains Paul Brady, senior, and 
junior midfielder Mark Thor 
sheim. Other major con- 
tributors to the offensive line 
include seniors Chris Lowe 
and Rick Thomas, junior Erik 
Rank and sophomores Bill 
Mueller and Chris Boehm. 

The defense will be headed 
by senior sweeper Jay Cope- 



A Goal In Mind 



The SU Field Hockey team 
is back in action this fall, prac- 
ticing hard to top last year's 
8-4 season. This record placed 
the team in 4th place in the 
MAC Northwest division. 
Freshman Cindy Cook said, 
"With every practice we are 
getting better, and we're be- 
ginning to work like a team." 
The team is hoping for a third 
consecutive winning season. 



Among those returning this 
fall include senior tri-captains: 
Felicia McClymont, Megan 
Moyer, and M.J. McLaughlin. 
Junior Sue Bailey will be re- 
turning this season leading the 
defense from her halfback po ' 
sition. 

McClymont and Moyer are 
entering their 1986 season 
with 36 points each. Both 
players stand a great chance ,

land, who was selected to the 
MAC-Northern Division All- 
Star Team last year, and 
junior back Paul Joslyn. 
Other power defenders in- 
clude Rod Hurley and fresh- 
man Dennis McManus. Hold- 
ing the opposition to minimal 
points is the goalie tandem of 
sophomore Rob Ancipink and 
junior Paul Rybecky who 
combined for all seven wins 
last season. 

In preseason, the Crusader 
kickers played to a 1-1-1 mark. 
The season will open this Sat- 
urday, as the team of maroon 
and orange compete against 
Lebanon Valley at 1 p.m. 



of breaking the school record 
for most goals (27) and points 
(56) in a career, set by Jean 
Flaherty '86. 

The team has already begun 
working on its strategy for the 
upcoming game against arch- 
rival Messiah. Their first game 
is this Friday against Miseri- 
cordia. The game will start at 
3:30. Come out and support

Friday, September 12, 1986-THE CRUSADER-Page 5 

Seatbelt Psychology 



In this thing called Real Life, 
there is one perfect season. Usual- 
ly it's the last summer before 
adulthood. If we are lucky 
enough, we will have a handful of 
friends with whom to spend this 
last summer. We never compre- 
hend how good, how really good, 
is this last summer except in hind- 
sight. Such philosophical mean- 
derings form the backbone of 
Rob Reiner's marvelous new 
film, "STAND BY ME." 

There are four boys: Gordy, 
Chris, Teddy, and Vern. They in- 
habit the village of Crystal Rock, 
Oregon during the mid 1950's. 
Nothing much happens in Crys- 
tal Rock. This makes it the per- 
fect setting for Steven King's 
eerie novella, "THE BODY," up- 
on which "STAND BY ME" is 
based. 

For Vern has a secret. He 
knows the whereabouts of the 
body of a boy who was clipped by 
a train. He spills the news to his 
buddies. Fired by the thought of 
being on TV (their just reward 
for "finding" the body), the boys 
set out on a twenty-mite hike to 
the river, and the deceased. 

With such a strong impetus for 
the plot to hang upon, Reiner is 
free to explore the world through 
the eyes of four Oregon boys. 
Teddy is afraid, the son of a 
lunatic father with a penchant for 
hot surfaces. Chris is made of 
stern stuff, posturing as a juvenile 
delinquent to mask his true 
nature. Vern is a chubby but 
likeable child whose actions 
speak for themselves. And there's 
Gordy, the film's narrator and 
pivotal character. His world is 
marred by an emotionally 
abrasive father and absentee 



mother. These kids inhabit a 
world of "WAGON TRAIN" 
and detective comics, where a 
question of whether Mighty 
Mouse is stronger than Superman 
is treated with as much seri- 
ousness as ruminations on the 
Mousekechest of Annette Funi- 
cello 

Death is the unseen, all- 
powerful presence in "STAND 
BY ME." The grisly reason for 
the boy's wilderness trek gives 
Reiner license to fashion a 
philosophical movie from a sim- 
ple story of growing up. Actually 
seeing a dead body will signal the 
end — or death — of innocence. 
One character is haunted by the 
memory of a dead older brother, 
and the notion that, "It should 
have been me in that grave." 
Reiner includes a gang of horrid 
teenage boys to point out the ob- 
jectivity of "growing up" — his 
main characters have already 
mentally, morally, and physically 
outdistanced their elders. 

Reiner encourages a 
naturalistic acting style, so most 
viewers will probably recognize 
parts of themselves in "STAND 
BY ME." Th4 four juvenile leads 
do bang-up jobs, even when occa- 
sionally saddled with self- 
analytical psychobabble the likes 
of which couldn't be farther from 
kids' minds. John Cusack (from 
Reiner's THE SURE THING") 
plays an iconic role with all the 
verve of a young Robert Redford. 
Richard Dreyfuss is on hand as 
one character grown up. 

Reiner's wisdom seems, like 
this movie, occasionally too far 
hindsighted. The time frame, so 
ripe for "HAPPY DAYS"-ish 
nostalgia, is wasted on so univer- 
sal a theme. Yes, the soundtrack, 
with Chuck Berry and the 



Counseling Can Help 



The Counseling Center, 
located in the Campus Center, 
adjacent to the Residence Life 
Office, provides a variety of ser- 
vices to the Susquehanna com- 
munity. It contains information 
(booklets, pamphlets, articles) 
about many topics which are 
related to health, mental health, 
and academic success. 

If students are in need of 
assistance with academic skills, 
the Counseling Center (as well as 
the Academic Skills Center in the 
library) can offer programs to 
help with time-management, test 
anxiety, and other school-related 
problems. 



If a student feels bogged down 
by habits of procrastination, feels 
overburdened by the stresses of 
collegiate life, has trouble relax- 
ing, or worries that drinking or 
drug use may be getting out of 
control, the Counseling Center 
can help. 

It offers a confidential setting 
in which to share some of these 
concerns, a supportive ear, and 
assistance in developing action 
plans by which problems can be 
put in perspective and worked on. 

If you are in need of such ser- 
vices, or if you have ideas for 
similar services which need to be 
offered, please stop by or phone 
(ext 4133).

Chordettes, among others, is ter- 
rific, and all those fifties cliches 
(black wire rim glasses, '57 
Chevys, real Coke) are cute. The 
movie is told in flashback, which 
adds to the credibility of the 
scenes. But the ultimate triumph 
of "STAND BY ME" is its 
universality. Whether movie 
boyhood occurs in 1875 ("TOM 
SAWYER"), 1959 ("STAND BY 
ME"), or 1985 ("BACK TO THE 
FUTURE"), it trades on memory 
appeal for the old folks. It's a time 
of wonder, but you don't know 

how wonderous until it's gone. 
We can only hope the memories 
are as bittersweet as those in 
"STAND BY ME."

"ABOUT LAST NIGHT" is 
playing at the mall, and I would 
recommend that you run, don't 
walk, to it. It's a sweet love story 
based on David Mamet's "SEX- 
UAL PERVERSITY IN 
CHICAGO." The leads (Rob 
Lowe, Demi Moore) are appeal- 
ing, but it's the Chicago scen- 
ery and supporting performances 
that give this movie its spark. Jim 
Belushi is fine, if a little loud, as 
Bernie, the 70's swinger flounder- 
ing the morass of 80's relation- 
ships. Elizabeth Perkins, as 
Moore's cheetah of a best friend, 
steals the show. She plays her 
part without sympathy. Her 
character is a monster, plain and 
simple, not one of those 
"DYNASTY" characitures but a 
genuine unhappy woman out to 
blacken all life best as she can. 
Expect big things from Elizabeth 
Perkins, including to see her 
name on this spring's Oscar list. 



The Central Pennsylvania Lec- 
ture Series in Psychology will be 
sponsoring a free lecture in Sei- 
bert Auditorium on Sept. 12 at 8 
p.m. Dr. E. Scott Geller, Pro- 
fessor of Psychology from Vir- 
ginia Tech, will give a talk entitl- 
ed "Taking it to the Streets: Ap- 
plied Psychology and Vehicular 
Safety." 

Geller has published more than 
100 articles in research journals 
and has given over 200 profes- 
sional presentations. He has re- 
cently directed the production of 
a 25-minute film demonstrating 
corporate and community-based 
strategies for motivating safety 
belt use. 



Most of Geller's research proj- 
ects have been concerned with 
the application of behavioral sci- 
ence for the benefit of institu- 
tions, government agencies, or 
communities in general. 

He has offered professional 
consultation for such major 
corporations and government 
agencies as General Motors 
Research Laboratories, Ford 
Motor Company, The US De- 
partment of Health and Human 
Services and Anheuser-Busch 
Companies, Inc. 

Geller received his Ph.D. in 
Experimental Psychology from 
Southern Illinois University in 
1969. 



No Excuse 



As of this year, Susquehanna 
students will no longer be able to 
obtain medical excuses for missed 
classes. The Health Center came 
to this decision after checking the 
policies of five comparative 
universities and discovering that 
ours was the only university who 
still issued class excuses. 

Students are now expected to 
personally contact their pro- 
fessors when they feel they are 
too ill to attend class. Professors 
will inform their students of how 
many cuts they allow per semes- 
ter. Students are urged to use dis- 
cretion when taking these 
absences and should save them 
for true illness. 

The Health Center still wel- 
comes students who feel the need 
to use the facilities there. The 
hours are from 9-5, Monday 
through Friday; 10-12 on Satur- 
day. If a situation arises where a 
student requires immediate atten- 
tion, they can call 374-9164. 

Dr. Cordas is able to see 
students by appointment only 
between 12 and 1 p.m. Monday 
through Friday. Gynecological 
services are available on Tues- 
days from 1-3 p.m. and on every 
other Thursday from 1-5 p.m. 



In the case of extended illness 
or absence, the Health Center 
will contact the Dean of Stu- 
dents' office. This office will then 
notify the faculty. 

The Health Center upholds a 
policy of confidentiality whereas 
the student is the only person 
able to authorize the release of 
any medical records.

Dialing Information 



Susquehanna University final- 
ly has had its new telephone sys- 
tem installed and it is now fully 
operational. However, as with 
many new, complex things, the 
phone system has met with nu- 
merous complaints. Most of the 
complaints have come from stu- 
dents having troubles either plac- 
ing or receiving calls. Don't go 
smashing those phones or 
screaming about the University's 
phone system yet. There are bet- 
ter solutions to your problems. 

If you have a problem with 
your phone, the person to contact 
is Scott Mangol, the Telecom- 
munications Manager at SU. He 
has been working hard on solving 
many of the problems in the 
phone system. However, to avoid 
inundating Mr. Mangol with 
calls, he has offered some good 
advice to the students to help 
them understand and solve their 
problems. 

First of all, the phone system is 
a new complex system. It will 
have some bugs in it. It will take 
time and cooperation on the stu- 
dents' part to work these bugs 
out. One of the major bugs in the 
system has been that when a per- 
son attempts to place a call to a 
student's room, the person calling 
hears a ring on the line, but the 



phone at the other end doesn't 
ring. The problem is that each 
phone has a line that goes 
through the main processor in the 
computer center. Inside are many 
cards with electronic circuitry on 
them. Some of these cards, possi- 
bly sixty, are bad and the result is 
the ringing problem. Mr. Mangol 
has been rewiring the problem 
lines to good cards which has 
been solving the problem. 

That is about the most serious 
problem with the system. Many 
other problems have been the re- 
sult of students' misusing the 

phone system. First, make sure 
you have a tone operated phone 
with an REN of 1 .0 or less and an 
A or B suffix (ie. .9A). It is not ad- 
vised that students use cordless 
phones because they are too pow- 
erful and hard on the system. If 
you have problems getting a 
wrong number, hang up, and dial 
again SLOWLY. Some phones 
with faulty buttons inadvertently 
repeat some numbers. Make sure 
the cord is plugged in the proper 
jack correctly. Above all, use 
some common sense. You're not 
playing with a toy. Follow the 
directions sent to the roommate 
responsible for the billing. 



If you've lost the directions, 
here are a few that have not 
already been mentioned. 
c Each student residence num- 
ber begins with a tt 3," eg. 3289. 
t To call residences on campus 
from outside phones, call 372- 
xxxx (last four numbers are the 
extension numbers). 

* To call faculty extensions, dial 
"8" then the extension beginning 
with a "4," eg. 8-4234. 

4 Campus operator: 8-0. 
< To dial local, Selinsgrove num- 
bers: 9-374-xxx. 

e Direct long distance: 8-9-1 -area 
code-seven digit number. 

* Collect or credit card calls: 8-9- 
0-area code-seven digit number, 
t The system can onlyhandle so 
many calls at a time. If all circuits 
are busy, hang up and try later. 
$ You cannot receive collect 
calls. 

e When calling long distance, 
you have six rings and then the 
billing starts. So if you allow 10 
rings, you will be billed for that 
extra time. 

Remember, if you have a 
serious problem with your phone 
that common sense won't solve, 
call Scott Mangol (ext. 4243). 



New Banker On Campus 



One of the most welcome addi- 
tions to Susquehanna's campus 
this year is the CashStream ma- 
chine recently installed in the 
lower level of the Camnus Cen- 
ter. The banking machine is one 
of a network of automated teller 
machines (ATMs) locally owned 
and operated by Snyder County 
Trust Company. The CashStream 
system itself is owned and oper- 
ated by Mellon Bank of Pitts- 
burgh. 



In effect, the SU ATM is a 
cash dispenser. The machine per- 
mits the user to withdraw money 
from checking and/or savings ac- 
counts, transfer money between 
checking and savings accounts, 
and also check the account bal- 
ance in either account. 



SU's CashStream machine will 
not allow deposits or permit pay- 
ments to accounts. One of the 
major factors in the decision not 



to make the campus ATM full- 
service (with deposits accepted) 
was that research has proven that 
over 90% of all ATM transac- 
tions in a university environment 
are withdrawals. 

The ATM on our campus be- 
longs to a regional network, the 
Treasurer network, which is prev- 
alent throughout both central 
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 
The ATM also has a national af- 
filiation with Cirrus, allowing 
cardholders to use their banking 
cards in ATMs all across the 
country, in any ATM belonging 
to the Cirrus network. 

The convenience of having an 
ATM on a university campus is 
that students no longer have to 
set up a local account. Instead, 
they can maintain an account at 

home and use their cards when 
they need money. Parents can 
also deposit money in the stu- 
dent's account (if the account is 
set up with both names). This 
saves time and the need to send 
checks through the mail. 




At nearby Bucknell University, 
where 2 or 3 ATMs have been in- 
stalled over the past several years, 
20-25,000 transactions are proc- 
essed per month. University set- 



tings have proven to be a popular 
location for ATMs because col- 
lege-age students are quite com- 
fortable around electronic ma- 
chines. They have grown up with 
ATMs, which have been in oper- 
ation in larger cities since the ear- 
ly to mid 1970's. 



Susquehanna's CashStream 
machine will be available to stu- 
dents at any time that the Cam- 
pus Center is open (approximate- 
ly 7 a.m. to midnight, 7 days a 



week). The machine will be moni- 
tored continuously by video- 
camera and alarm system. Any- 
one noting any damage or abuse 
to the machine should immedi- 
ately inform a Campus Center 
employee. 

Anyone wanting toobtain a 
CashStream card, or that has any 
questions about ATMs, Cash 
Stream, etc. should contact 
Michael Flock, Vice-President of 
Operations at the Snyder County 
Trust Company. CashStream 
demonstrations are also available. 



In addition, a drive-up, full- 
service ATM has recently been 
installed at 108 W. Pine Street. 
This machine enables card- 
holders to make deposits, even if 
their account is at a different 
bank.

Notes from Above 



Susquehanna University has 
been involved with many projects 
over the years aimed at benefiting 
the students and outside commu- 
nity. Four years ago one such 
project was developed. Under the 
suggestion of Dean Anderson, 
Dave Henry, and Dr. Goodspeed, 
and some other faculty members, 
an energy awareness group was 
founded. What transgressed was 
the formation of the Student 
Conservation Committee. It was 
"promoted to encourage energy 
awareness and conservation by 
individual members of the cam- 
pus community." 

Once again this year there has 
been an attempt to revitalize this 
program. Under the guidance of 
Dr. Goodspeed, a project group 
was formed early last spring to 
encourage the students in each 
residence hall to reduce energy 
use. Junior Patrick Kennedy is 
acting manager of the group, and 
sophomore Dana Leach is his as- 
sistant. Patrick Kennedy wishes 
to convey the overall importance 
of the program to the campus. "It

when asked how he liked SU, 
commented, "Well, if I didn't like 
it here I wouldn't have come in 
the first place." Rusek seems 
quite happy here at Susquehan- 
na. 

Mark Dewalt is an- Assistant 
Professor of Education. He did 
his undergraduate work at Muhl- 
enburg College, received his Doc- 
torate at the University of Vir- 
ginia, and his Masters at the Uni- 
versity of South Carolina. 

Before coming to SU, Dewalt 
was a teaching assistant at the 
University of Virginia. He also 
worked on a project to assist and 
evaluate first year teachers in 
Virginia. 

Dewalt says the students and 
faculty seem to be very friendly 
and the staff 'seem eager to help. 
He comments, "The students I 
have met seem to have a goal in 
mind and they're working toward 
it." He has a wife, Carolyn, and 
two boys, Philip and Peter. 



is a program that is geared to- 
wards success on both sides — 
with the hours of energy saved in 
each residence hall the students 
will acquire more money in their 
dorm council fund and the ad- 
ministration will be happy be- 
cause they will have a smaller en- 
ergy bill to pay at the end of the 
year." 

Through the funding provided 
by the SGA and the Physical 
Plant Department, each resi- 
dence hall will receive an award 
of 2 cents per kilowatt hour saved 
per month, in comparison to the 
electric usage in that same build- 
ing for the same month last year. 
The award money will be used to 
cover program expenses not cov- 
ered by your existing dorm funds. 

The success of this committee 
must not be undermined. During 
the 1983-84 school year the 
group received a considerable 
amount of money due to their re- 
duction of energy consumption. 
The chart below illustrates the 
results attained during that year 
and also displays what the com- 
mittee hopes to increase this year:

Susan Johnson, from the mod- 
ern language department, re- 
ceived her Bachelor of Science de- 
gree from the University of 
Rhode Island in 1973. She 
worked in Switzerland for four 
years and decided she was more 
interested in the language than 
her job as a dental hygenist. She 
has her Master of Arts degree in 
German and has a specialty in 
German folklore. She received 
her PhD in May 1986. 

Johnson finds the faculty here 
very energetic and earnest, 
"...more willing to spend time 
with students and have activities 
for undergraduates." She finds 
the students cooperative, hard- 
working, and earnest. She com- 
ments, "They are every bit as 
energetic and serious as the stu- 
dents in North Carolina."

There is not much hard work 
involved in reaching a reduction 
in energy costs. By simply turn- 
ing off the lights when you leave 
your room, or doing laundry 
when you only have full loads, or 
switching off your television and 
stereo when you are finished us- 
ing them, it will help conserve 
energy. Anyone who is interested 
in becoming involved with the 
energy conservation group is 
urged to contact Patrick Ken- 
nedy or Dana Leach through 
campus mail.

Dear Men and Women of Sus- 
quehanna: 

Do you know Dave and Ralph, 
Ella, Peggy, and Sue, Sparky and 
Carson, Jim and Bill? 

They are just some of the men 
and women who work for the 
Physical Plant Department of the 
university. I want to salute them 
in this letter because their work is 
absolutely crucial in making Sus- 
quehanna a quality community 
of men and women who care 
about each other and the truth. 
The "green army," as I hear this 
group of men and women fre- 
quently referred to, forfeited the 
Memorial Day and the Labor 
Day holidays to make the houses 
on University Avenue ready for 
occupancy for many, many stu- 
dents as well as my own family. 
A crew of the Physical Plant 
workers labored all day and all 
night on one occasion to assem- 
ble the new furniture in Hassin- 
ger Hall. Still others work daily at 



making classrooms, offices, lab- 
oratories, and residence halls 
comfortable places in which you 
and I work and live. 

I do hope you will acknowledge 
the significant work which the 
men and women of the Physical 
Plant Department do by a simple 
word or note of "thank you" as 
you encounter the "green army" 
this week. 

One concluding word, please. I 
do hope you will join me at my 
service of installation on Sunday 
afternoon, September 14, 1986 at 
3:30 p.m. in Weber Chapel. This 
will be a very important moment 
in my life as I officially begin my 
work among you as Chaplain. 
Nothing could be more important 
and reassuring to me than your 
presence at the service. 



For the great glory of God! 

Christopher M. Thomforde 

Chaplain 



Need a House? 



As one has probably hard, the 
class of 1990 has the honor of be- 
ing the largest class that SU has 
ever had. On opening day, a total 
of 1 158 students moved on cam- 
pus (609 females, 549 males). 
Carol Courtney, Director of Resi- 
dence Life, stated that this was 
their best opening day and, in 
fact, the staff was overprepared. 

Due to the size of the class, cer- 
tain adaptions had to be made. 
For instance, most R.A.'s have 
roommates, triples were formed 
in Smith, Reed, and Aikens, and 



two avenue houses, 402 and 310, 
were converted into freshman 
honors houses. The main con- 
cern, stated Courtney, is to break 
down triples; the only way to do 
this is if the students move off 
campus or withdraw. 



Another area of concern with 
the class size being so large, is the 
cafeteria. The over-all buying of 
food has increased, along with 

the amount of deliveries. As said 
by William Bauman, Food Ser- 
vice Director, "Everything is pro- . 
portional." 

The number of students has 
not caused a major problem. The 
cafeteria staff must be prepared 
for the rush times and study the 
menu mix carefully to insure fast 
production of items. Stated 



Bauman, "One of our major goals 
during the rush period is to keep 
the lines moving as smooth and 
rapidly as possible." Bauman feels 
that the facilities are adequate 
and there is room for the students 
to accommodate their needs.

Gearing Up For The Gridiron 



The Susquehanna University 
football team begins its 1986 
season Saturday on the road at 
Muhlenberg College. 

Saturday's contest is the only 
non-Middle Atlantic Conference 
(MAC) game on the Crusaders' 
schedule. The Mules are mem- 
bers of the Centennial Confer- 
ence. 



Muhlenberg administered the 
first of that sextet of defeats as it 
rolled to a 30-7 victory at Amos 
Alonzo Stagg Field in Selins 
grove. The Mules scored 20 
points in the fourth quarter to 
seal the triumph. 

The Crusaders will start an in- 
experienced quarterback for the 
second year in a row. Todd 
Coolidge, a 6-foot, 180-pound 
junior from Wellsboro, Pa., will 
call the signals after playing the 
past two years at safety. The 
Wellsboro High School graduate 
replaces the graduated Ken 
Hughes, who set five single-sea- 
son passing records in his only 
year as a starter in 1985. 

Coolidge, who made 13 inter- 
ceptions in 1984 and 1985 but 
will now attempt to avoid throw- 
ing them, gets the starting nod af- 
ter a tough preseason battle for 
the job with 5-foot- 11,181 -pound 
senior Rich Maley of Philadel- 
phia, and Bryan Griffie, a 
6-foot- 1, 171-pound sophomore 
from Dillsburg, Pa. Matey gradu- 
ated from Penn Charter High 
School and Griffie is a Northern 
High School graduate. 



Susquehanna registered a 3-7 
record in 1985, 3-6 in the MAC, 
after compiling a string of four 
consecutive winning seasons. The 
Crusaders won three of their last 
four contests a year ago after 
opening the campaign with six 
straight losses. 



"It was a closely-contested 
race," noted Susquehanna head 
coach Rocky Rees, who is enter- 
ing his second season at the Cru- 
sader helm. "It was a hard deci- 
sion because of the great effort 
both Maley and Griffie put forth. 
Coolidge has the slight advantage 
of being able to put pressure on a 
defense with his quickness." 

The Orange and Maroon run- 
ning game has been a bright spot 
during the preseason, especially 
after churning out over 300 yards 
in the Crusaders' scrimmage 
against Johns Hopkins Universi- 
ty last Saturday. Susquehanna 
has five of its top six rushers of 

last year back in the lineup, led 
by fullback Kevin Gormley, a 
6-foot, 200-pound junior from 
Ramsey, N.J. Gormley, a Ram- 
sey High School graduate, topped 
the Crusader ground-gainers with 
298 yards despite missing several 
games with a hamstring injury. 

"I am very impressed with 
Kevin," said Rees. "He has added 
quickness over a year ago and is 
running with a lot of determina- 
tion." 

The Susquehanna offensive 
line is "the dominant force of the 
team," according to Rees. "The 
way that unit performs will be a 
good indication of how the team 
plays." 

Spearheading the blockers are 
seniors Jim McNulty of Bright- 
waters, NY, and Tom Shoemaker 
of Collingdale, Pa. McNulty, a 
6-foot 2, 230-pound tackle, is a 

graduate of St. John the Baptist 
High School. Shoemaker, a 
6-foot-2, 218-pound guard, gradu- 
ated from Academy Park High 
School. 

The Susquehanna defense gave 
up* an average of almost 24 points 
per game in 1985. Rees empha- 
sizes, "We just cannot give up as 



many points as we did last year 
and expect to win." Consequent- 
ly, that puts a lot of pressure on a 
unit that features six returning 
starters, including two to new 
positions. 

Senior Dave Kells, a 6-foot- 1, 
196-pound safety from Phoenix- 
ville, Pa., is one defender who has 
made a position change. The 
Spring-Ford High School gradu- 
ate made 105 tackles and grabbed 
three interceptions last year from 
his defensive end spot. He finish- 
ed second on the team in both 
categories. 

The other player to make a 
move is junior Rich Close of Wy- 
omissing, Pa. The 5-foot-ll, 
106-pound graduate of Wilson 
High School was third on the 
team in tackles a year ago with 7 1 
as a roverback. In 1986, Close, 
whom Rees describes as "tough 
and aggressive and not afraid to 
hit people," is an outside line- 
backer. 

Muhlenberg, which wound up 
7-3 last season, will start 
sophomore Darin Petro of Port 
Reading, N.J., at quarterback. 
The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Petro 
completed 29 of 62 passes as a 
freshman, including five for 
touchdowns. He also threw two 
interceptions. 

"Petro looked good in Muhlen- 
berg's scrimmage against Mont 
clair State College," according to 
Rees. "He really has a strong 
arm. 

The Mules' team captain is de- 
fensive end Brad Fischer of Old 
Bridge, NJ. The 6-foot- 1, 
230-pound senior is also the 
team's leading returning tackier 
as he made 81 stops last year. 

Game time at Muhlenberg 
Field in Allentown is set for 1:30 
p.m. The Mules lead the series 
between the two schools 8-3.

Who's New at SU II 

Richard Woods: Safe at Home 



Richard Woods has recently been 
hired to fill the newly created 
position of Director of Security 
and Safety for the university. As 
such, Woods will maintain the 
campus security force and also 
upgrade campus safety proce- 
dures. 

Woods comes to Susquehanna 
from Creighton University in 
Omaha, Nebraska, where he was 
an administrator and police 
supervisor for the past two and 
one-half years. Before this, he 
was the Assistant Director of 
Public Safety at Northwestern 
University. 

Woods believes that "some- 
where we (security) have to fit in- 
to the educational system. We 
have to teach and follow the 
laws, and our officers have to 
develop rapport with the 
students." 

Some of his internal goals for 
the security department include 
the development of a department 
manual with guidelines for all fa- 
cets of the position of a security 
officer, and a plan for advanced 
training for the security force. 

Because of the nature of a col- 
lege campus, Woods feels that the 
Department of Security and Safe- 
ty should be "90% service ori- 
ented — 10% rules and regula- 
tion enforcement." Lighting on 
campus will be improved. Foot 
patrols have been increased, and 




security officers will continue to 
patrol around all dorms and dorm 
common u.eas. 

Safety inspections are being 
planned for every room on cam- 
pus — both dormitories and 
classrooms — to check for safety 
hazards such as overcrowded 
electrical outlets, faulty wiring, 
and other fire hazards. 

Woods is currently utilizing an 
eight student work-study force 
who perform such duties as 
checking for parking violations 
during the day and walking the 
Avenue on weekend evenings. 

Eventually the group will have 
identifiable t-shirts and will be 
available to walk people home if 
they are spotted walking alone at 
night. A portable radio system is 
currently being considered to 
maintain a more efficient com-

munication system with the stu- 
dents and the security force. 

"There's a lot of positive steps 
we can do. Hopefully the stu- 
dents will want to assist us." 
Woods encourages students to 
get involved to keep their campus 
safe. He suggests stopping and 

talking to the campus security of- 
ficers, and inviting Security to 
dorm meetings to have students' 
questions answered. Most of all, 
he feels security on any univer- 
sity campus revolves around us- 
ing common sense: don't walk 
home alone at night, lock your 
door, etc. 

On the lighter side, Woods' 
wife, Deb Woods, is working out 
of the University Residence Life 
office as the Coordinator of the 
Project House System, and is in- 
volved with two University-based 
orchestras. 



Quality Control 



Jeanne Neff 



Have you ever wondered who 
on campus is responsible for 
keeping things running smooth- 
ly? Now you know exactly what 
Dr. Jeanne Neff, Vice-President 
of Academic Affairs does. As VP, 
Dr. Neff is the academic leader of 
Susquehanna University. 

Dr. Neff works with the facul- 
ty and deans of the various 
schools which comprise SU. By 
working alongside these people, 
she plans changes and aims for 
quality control in the academic 
program. Dr. Neff mentioned 
that within the next year, she will 
be working toward getting grants 
for the three schools. 

Dr. Neff was hired in July of 
1986. She, too, started as a fresh- 
man this fall. Dr. Neff was for- 
merly the Academic Vice-Presi- 
dent at Wheeling College in 
Wheeling, West Virginia. For 
several years, she was the only 
woman in such a high office at 
that college. Dr. Neff wanted to 
make a change, and she crossed 
paths with SU late last spring. 



When asked for her views on 
Susquehanna, Dr. Neff said that 
she felt that the university was 
more alive, and that the academic 
atmosphere is less smug than at 
other colleges. She added that SU 
is "a place where 1 think I can 
make a difference as opposed to 
an environment that is so large 
that one person's presence may or 
may not make a difference." She 
also said that "of course, the stu- 
dents are neat." 

Dr. Neff, who is also a poet, be- 
lieves that Susquehanna has a 
good balance of business and arts 
and sciences courses. The faculty 
has a devotion to their students, 
and they want to improve. She 
stated that SU has a fine staff for 
so small a school. 

Although Dr. Neff is Vice- 
President of Academic Affairs, 
she has a doctorate in the area of 
poetry and creative writing from 
Carnegie-Mellon University in 
Pittsburgh. Welcome to Susque- 
hanna, Dr. Neff!

Henry Diers 



Henry Diers: New Talent 



There is a new Dein of Fine 
Arts and Communications here 
this year at Susquehanna and he 
is a truly optimistic, student-ori- 
ented administrator. 

Henry Diers was born in Iowa 
and attended Wartburg College 
as an undergraduate. From Wart- 
burg, Diers attended graduate 
school at University of Illinois 
where he received his Masters 
and PhD. 

After spending a few years in 
the Army working in public in- 
formation, Dr. Diers went on to 
teach at the University of Miami,' 
where he eventually became 
Chairman of the Communica- 
tions-Theatre Department. He re 
mained at Miami until 1983, 
when he moved north to vitalize 
a theatre program at State Uni- 
versity of New York at West- 
bury. After three years there, he 
planned to return to Miami, until 
the position at Susquehanna 
opened up and he decided to 
change his plans and settle down 
here. 

Dr. Diers is concerned about 
improvement. He cites "that 
there are many excellent pro- 
grams in the Theatre-Communi- 
cations Department here — but, 
there are many that need to be 
developed." He is "excited about 
the challenge of applying his own 
ideas to strengthen the depart- 
ment as best he can." 

One of his proposals (already in 
the making), is to offer a course in 
English theatre appreciation. If 
accepted, this class would meet 
twice a week and would revolve 
around discussing and analyzing 
various pieces of art. Later in the 
course, the class would travel to 
London where they would be 
able to view what they had stud- 
ied. Dr. Diers has taught this 
( course in the past, and finds it 
very beneficial to the student. 



"The trip to London provides the 
student with the vividness of the 
. paintings — they are put head to 
head with major art." 

Although he has only been 
here three weeks, Dr. Diers is 
very impressed with the "Susque- 
hanna" atmosphere. "Everyone 
here is so caring. Many of the stu- 
dents I have met here have great 
talent. I like talent — I am a per- 
son who is always surrounded by 
talented people. They do not nec- 
essarily know exactly what they 
want to do after college but are 
concerned with preparing them 
selves for their future." 
Dr. Diers is not only educated 
in the communications and thea 
tre field, but he has had a great 
deal of experience with writing. 
He asserts that "writing is essen 
tial for communication and one 
of the marks of an educated per 
son. 1 enjoy directing and play- 
writing, but best of all 1 love to 
write." He hopes to expand the 
journalism courses here and will 
probably teach a course in critical 
thinking and writing. 

The new Dean of Fine Arts 
and Communications has the ut- 
most commendation for Susque 
hanna. "I have taught and at- 
tended large universities in the 
past, but I believe that an under- 
graduate greatly benefits from 
the opportunities available at a 
small school like SU. Right now I 
am in the process of discovering 
the people here. Like anyone else, 
I have found some weaknesses, 
but I have found many 
strengths." 

Dr. Diers wishes to encourage 
student participation and support 
for the Artist Series. He feels that 
students who do not attend these 
events are missing out on great 
theatre and experience. Dr. Diers 
senses he "is at the right place at 
the right time."

Here On Campus 



A lively group of students have 
already begun their mission. The 
mission is to promote not only 
the Artist Series but also the per- 
forming arts (recitals, one-act 
plays, etc.) of the students. This 
devoted and informative group 
gathers for their project meeting 
every Thursday night. With their 
advisor, Lance Sadlek, at hand, 

Our Corner 



the group exchanges ideas. Two' 
of the Arts Alive crew are repre- 
sentatives on the Artist Series 
Committee. You will notice how 
informative they are as you walk 
around campus. If the bright 
posters don't attract your eye, 
maybe a glimpse at the Texas 
EFN or a voice from the local 
news station will let you in on the 



Back for edition number 2. 
This week I have the privilege of 
welcoming many alumni and par- 
ents to Susquehanna University, 
1 986. We hope you enjoy Home- 
coming Weekend and all the ac- 
tivities taking place on campus. 
The calendar of events, located 
on this page, may help you plan 
your day. 

A few changes took place in 
the Crusader staff last week. Re- 
cently, we have been acquiring 
more and more people to help 
with the workload. It may then 
seem odd that there were so 
many blank spaces in the editori- 
al box last week. Three of those 
spaces were filled last year and 
last week by three very capable 
gentlemen who were our co- 
workers and are good friends. 
Barry Sheibley, the previous 
Sports Editor; Greg Adams, the 
previous Chief Photographer; 
and Doug Carlson, previously the 
Business Manager, have decided 
to step down from their positions. 
I would like to thank them for the 
good job they have done for us, 
both last year and in the early 
weeks this year to help get things 
rolling. You guys w ill be missed. 



One of the blank spaces last 
week was a mistake— Cheryl 
Dum is the Copy Editor, and her 
name was accidentally left off the 
list. We hope to have the remain- 
ing positions filled within the 
week, if we can manage to part 
the sea of red tape. 

A note of concern for the cam- 
pus: I was informed of an atro- 
cious deed that is being contem- 
plated, and a quick look in my 
draft from the faculty meeting 
confirmed the information. Dean 

Neff, the Dean of Faculty, receiv- 
ed a memo from Dr. Reuning 
concerning the reading days prior 
to final exams. Dr. Reuning is 
proposing that one of the two 
days be dropped beginning this 
year. He reasons that first, stu- 
dents use it as a social rather than 

academic activity day; second, 
that T,Th classes already have a 
week to prepare by the schedule; 
third, that it would reduce the oc- 
currence of three finals on one 
day; and lastly, that the faculty 
needs an extra day to grade essay 
examinations (this last one is 
underlined in the memo).

ty to promote YOU, the artist. 
Don't be afraid to pick up the

Here is a brief look at what's 
ahead this semester: 



Ladies and Gentlemen of the 
jury, it is obvious that the main 
thrust of this argument is conve- 
nience for the faculty and not 
concern for the student. After 1 5 
weeks of work, so what if some 
choose to take a day off before 
facing a major portion of their 
grade for a semester. I admit that 
I often use this day to relax, un- 
wind, and loosen up a bit. I also 
find that I am better able to go at 
the books the next day with a 
clear head. Not only that, but I 
do use the first day for some pre- 
liminary work and organization. 

The point about T,Th classes is 
moot. I only have one T,Th class 
and I know some with none and I 
know some with several. The 
point is that there is no point to 
this point; the cases vary too 
much. 

Now, I would have to agree 
with the statement that eliminat- 
ing three finals in one day is ad- 
mirable. I'm not sure this is valid, 
though. This term the calendar 
says that finals run Monday 
through Friday — that's 5 days, 
one more day than last year. This 
also means that the two reading 
days are on the weekend. That is 
disappointing to begin with, and 
111 be damned if you'll get me to a 
final on Saturday or Sunday with 
5 other days available. 

The final argument is about 
grading days. I can understand 
this concern and I think the other 
points are merely lip-service to 
broaden the idea. I also think that 
the faculty and the administra- 
tion should work this out without 
involving the students. 

To restate, leave our reading 
days alone! 

Have a good Homecoming 
Weekend and we'll see you here 
next week.

Keeping it Alive 



II. The Pirates Have Arrived! 

Yes, we're back. Just when you 
thought it was safe to read The 
Crusader, Arts Alive strikes 
again. Last week we subtitled the 
article "Our Opening Pitch," and 
the response was more than we 
expected. Now we're back with 
more arts information just for 
you. So do not despair if you 
missed last week's article. In just 
the few minutes it will take you 
to complete this, you, too, will be 
caught up with our faithful 
readers. So on with the show... 

First of all, Arts Alive would 
like to congratulate all the stu- 
dents who will be involved in this 
year's fall musical, "Guys and 
Dolls." This "musical fable of 
Broadway" will be performed 
Parent's Weekend (Oct. 24-26). If 
you are interested in helping with 
this show, see Lynne Porter of 
the Theatre Arts Department. 

Now for some BIG news... even 
now, as you sit safely in your 
room reading this article, the 
Pirates have already taken over 
Weber Chapel Auditorium. (If 
you don't believe us, check out 
the big boat in the parking lot!) 



We're not talking Pittsburgh, 
kids, we're talking Penzance. 

"The Pirates of Penzance" will 
be presented tomorrow night 
(that's Saturday, in case you were 
late in receiving your paper). The 
show starts at 8:00 p.m. in Weber 
Chapel, so if you haven't obtain- 
ed your ticket yet, be sure to go a 
little early. "The Pirates of Pen- 
zance" is a Gilbert & Sullivan op- 
eretta that was first performed in 
1879. Since the average SU stu- 
dent is probably skeptical of such 
a musical endeavor, we checked 
it out for you. 

This is the story of young Fred- 
eric, who mistakenly falls into an 
apprenticeship with a gang of 
(Continued on p. 3) 

Correction: In last week's issue of 
"The Crusader" an article written 
for the energy conservation proj- 
ect stated that SGA was partici- 
pating in funding the group. SGA 
is not funding the group in any 
way and the funding is mainly 
originating from SU's physical 
plant. The Crusader regrets the 
error.

ESSAY CONTEST 

On Sept. 15, Honeywell will 
hold its fifth annual Futurist 
Awards Competition, an essay 
contest that asks students to pre- 
dict technological advancements 
25 years from now. 

The contest asks college stu- 
dents to imagine the year 2011 
and write essays about the tech- 
nological developments they fore- 
see. Students are asked to leap 25 
years into the future and write an 
essay predicting developments in 
one of six technological areas: 
electronic communications, ener- 
gy, aerospace, computer science, 
manufacturing automation, or of- 
fice automation. A second essay 
must address the societal impact 
of the technological predictions. 
Each essay must be no longer 
than 1,500 words. 

The contest is open to all full- 
time students at any accredited 
college in the United States. Win- 
ners will be announced in early 
March, and each winner will re- 
ceive $3,000 and a two-day, all- 
expense-paid trip to Honeywell's 
headquarters in Minneapolis. 

Completed essays must be 
postmarked no later than Janu- 
ary 31, 1987. In February, a 
panel of top Honeywell scientists 
and engineers will judge the es- 
says on the basis of creativity, 
feasibility, clarity of expression, 
and legibility.

(LSAT), which is a "Must" if law 
school is in your plans, will be on

pirates led by their charismatic 
Pirate King. (SU Translation: be- 
ing a pirate apprentice is a very 
similar experience to being a fra- 
ternity pledge.) When the story 
opens, it is Frederic's 21st birth- 
day, and his apprenticeship is 
completed. He is then free to lead 
a life of his own and soon falls in 
love with Mabel, a nineteenth 
century knockout who is the 
daughter of the local Major-Gen- 
eral. The Major-General soon en- 
lists Frederic's help in fighting the 
very Pirates who were his former 
comrades. (Being a law-abiding 
citizen and in love with Mabel, 
it's an offer he can't refuse.) 

The Pirate King, appalled at 
such behavior from his appren- 
tice, informs Frederic that since 
he was born on February 29 
(which only comes every four 
years), he has had only 5 birth- 
days, not 21. Therefore, he is still 
bound to pirate service for anoth- 
er 60 years. Will the Major-Gen- 
eral ever defeat the pirate crew? 
Will the Pirate King really make 
his apprentice stay for 60 more 
years? Will Frederic and Mabel 
ever reunite? Will SU students 
ever take advantage of the "Ad- 
mission Is Free With Your SU 
ID" slogan? These questions and 
more will be answered Saturday 
evening. (If your questions still go

All in all, "Pirates" should pro-

show with lively songs, it has 
entertained audiences for over 
100 years. And, yes, Arts Alive 
will be there selling refreshments 
during the intermission. We hope 
you will take advantage of this 
opportunity and go to the show.

nights.

George Plimpton is known for 
doing things that most people on 
ly dream about. Among them: 
playing quarterback for the 
Detroit Lions, basketball for the 

Boston Celtics, hockey for the 
Boston Bruins, percussion with 
the New York Philharmonic, and 
flying on a trapeze for the Clyde 
Beatty-Cole Brothers Circus. 

He has used these and other 
similarly exciting experiences as 
the basis for his many books and 
magazine articles. 

A native of New York City, 
Plimpton has degrees from Har- 
vard University and King's Col- 
lege, Cambridge University. He is 
the founder of The Paris Review, 
a literary quarterly which he still 
edits, and has been associate edi- 
tor of Horizon Magazine and 
Harper's Magazine. 



He is also president of the 
board of directors of the New 
York Philomusica, the critically- 
acclaimed chamber ensemble 
which will perform with him at 
Susquehanna. 

The Philomusica is in its 15th 
season. It has achieved interna- 
tional standing with concerts in 
Austria and is widely known for 

its versatility in precision en- 
semble playing and the variety of 
its concert sites, such as parks, 
lobbies of skyscrapers, and histo 
ric monuments and museums. 

The Hilda Karniol Arts En- 
dowment was established last 
year by William G. Karniol and 
his wife Lynne Karniol of Dix 
Hills, N.Y., in honor of Karniol's

It's Greek to Us 



THETA CHI 

We here at Spudland would 
like to welcome freshmen and re- 
turning students to the Susque- 
hanna Country Club. This sum- 
mer was a very productive one 
for us up at our beautiful "Edi- 
fice." Many renovations were 
made, including new floors in our 
Lounge and Chapter Room. Al- 
so, we added a new 200-watt ster- 
eo system. Our finest addition, 
though, came this fall when 81 
incredible ladies became little sis- 
ters. Note: Girls, help keep the 
parties going and keep the Broth- 
erhood happy. 



A big Spudland welcome back 
to Brothers Brady and Thomas. 
To our missing Brother Svikhart, 
a 0.00 just does not cut it. Speak- 
ing of missing, has anyone seen 
Brother Humphrey? 

A special thanks to Brothers 
Warehime, Lelli, Harris, Riland 
and Lose for showing the rest of 
the Brotherhood that you don't 
have to party in the house to 
have a good time. 

Brother Younger, can we use 
the front room this weekend? On 
the subject of rooms, rumor has it 
that the President has wall-to- 
wall Wiseman. Thanks go out to 
Brothers Moraski, de la Motte, 
Puckowitz and of course Rich 
"Twinkle Toes" McCourt for 
their bar-top Chippendale imita- 
tion. 

For the second week in a row, 
Brother Castoral takes the Chief 
Walk-em-Back Award. Don't 
worry, someone will let you stay. 
The KGB Club is off to another 
good start. 

MISSING: Brother Moraski's 
clothes! 

On a serious note, congrats to 
the Soccer team on their victory 
over Lebanon Valley. Also, way 
to go, Crusader football, especial- 
ly Brother Jones. Your three 
sacks were key. Last Saturday the 
Brotherhood rallied and got 
Selinsgrove clean. 

A few quickies: 

Dallas got lucky. 

Brother de la Motte didn't. 

State Police are looking for one 
House Manager, one hamster, 
and one important set of keys. 

Brother Khlare, the speed limit 
on University Ave. is 25, not 105. 

Turner, does the light really go 
off when the trunk lid is closed? 

Brothers Boehm and Mueller, 
there are no quiet hours at Theta. 

And finally, Brothers Daub 
and Walker, Get a Clue! 

Until next week, 

Moraski & Puckowitz 



PHI MU DELTA 

Welcome to Homecoming 
Weekend, Phi Mu Delta Style. 
One can almost taste the excite- 
ment. A chill in the air, the bar-b- 
que grill burning out of control, 
and a new R.E.M. album to boot. 
Welcome back to all returning 
alumni — ours especially. 

I was back in Jersey with Jim 
Higgins checking out that "old 
man down the road" John Foger- 
ty, so much of this week's news is 
thanks to field correspondents 
Viglianti and Loisch. They report 
that the boxer shorts party was 
quite a smash. I hear that the na- 
tion's greatest do-it-yourself fra- 
ternity (that's us) was at it again. 
Many internal house improve- 
ments were made, and on the out- 
side "a shubbery" or two was in- 
stalled around the newly reseeded 
lawn. Please keep off the grass. 

We held a cookout on Sat. 
which was attended by that time- 
honored group, the recipients of 
last year's Nobel Peace Prize, the 
Phi Mu Delta Little Sisters. Inci 
dentally, they ended their pledge 
period and were duly initiated 
this past week. Congratulations, 
Ladies. Save those signatures — 
I'm going to be famous some day. 
Both the football and soccer 
teams won. Let's do it again this 
week. Good luck to the other 
sports teams as well. That in- 
cludes the Rugby Team. Headed 
by our own Mr. Kahan, this in- 
cludes MUDS Kevin the Blob' 
Garrity, Phil Longenecker, Mark 
McGlock and WUbur Kadel. 
They'll all be 'giving blood' 
tomorrow. 

A November roadtrip is in the 
works for a show by the Phi Mu 
Delta House Band, R.E.M. Their 
fans at the MUDHOUSE are ri- 
valled in loyalty only by Dead- 
heads. Brother Buckley picked up 
the Litey Award simply for being 
Buckley. And yes, the Giants 
won, beating the team which 
smoked my own Dolphs a week 
earlier. Brothers, I concede a de- 
feat of sorts. Finally, the stupid- 
est idea of the year award goes to 
McDonald's for Shanghai Mc- 
Nuggets. What's that, cat parts? 
Goodnight, and have a pleasant 
tomorrow, 

Jim Harris 
Editor-at-Lank 

SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

A week has gone by already, 
and wow — what a week! 

We have 29 new little sisters 
this semester; welcome aboard, 
girls! Your big brothers have 
been selected, so start watching 




your mail. And trom now one, 
room 2 will be locked every week- 
end. This means you, M.M. 

Our second bi-annual tag-team 
contest was a success with Dan 
and Mark coming out on top; or 
at least on their shirts. Friday was 
the night of the "lone rangers" 
who stayed up to 4:30 to hear 
some "Sweet Home Port 
Matilda." After the contest on 
Saturday, an adventurous group 
headed down to he river... to 
pass out. The next group headed 
for the river, but not without get- 
ting by a few obstacles first. The 
first was the Sigma Kappa house 
where certain "precipitation" 
rained down on a few of us... but 
not without due justification. It 
was all in fun, girls. We think 
Matt's shoe is still stuck to the 
side of your house, though. We 
passed Simon, saying hello of 
course, and then on to Time Mar 
kets. I can't understand why she 
got all upset about the Money-or- 
der thing? You gave her the 59 
cents, didn't you, Jim? Eric, I'm 
glad we got the potato salad, for 
that would never have gone 
through a window. Then Randy 
enters the picture: "The little lady 
inside just wants you guys to 
leave." The "SU kids" then left - 
not without giving Randy a little 
laugh. We finally made it to the 
trestle, but poor Ed had almost 
lost his leg crossing it. Our heroes 
finally returned in two groups; 
one commandeered Newman's 
room at 312, the other trying to 
find Duke who was walking 
around in a daze. The weekends 
were made for antics like these. 
This week lots more will be 
happening. Our volleyball night 
turned out well, with a good turn- 
out. As did our upperclass rush 
cocktail party. Homecoming is 
next so be on the lookout for SS 
SIG EP on Saturday night. Come 
on out wearing your best seafar- 
ing attire and have the time of 
your life on the "LUSH BOAT." 
In conclusion, the bros would 
like to congratulate Jim "Herb" 
(and many other nicknames that 
I'm sure to catch hell for printing 
here) Faust on his 21st birthday 
this past Thursday. Make sure 
you stop by the SGA office on 
Monday to complain about some- 
thing, and wish him well. 
Until next week, 

— Craig Smith 
PS- To the SUB boys- those Wed. 
nights can be hell, can't they? 

LAMBDA CHI ALPHA 

Welcome back fans and friends 
— especially to the numerous re- 
turning brothers coming up for 
Homecoming in full force this 
weekend. First off, we'd like to 
congratulate the SU football 
team on its impressive win last 
Saturday — as usual, the Bunders 
are well represented on the team. 
A note to Joseph T. Azzarelk) 
and House Manager Timothy X. 
Fitzgerald: please communicate 
out there, men; that was the 
easiest interception in the end 
zone that you two collided on — 
Sally our loving cook could have 
made the play. As always, we had 
quite a large and boisterous 
crowd down at Muhlenberg sup- 
porting our Crusader Football 
program; we'd like to thank 
Brother Ken Scala's best friends' 



fraternity tor letting us stay at 
their house for the weekend — 
we were treated with warmth and 
welcome that we never expected 
from our rivals, and we expect to 
go back and visit them soon. 

We assembled early last Friday 
for our voyage to AJlentown. A 
solid team of 12 was on hand and 
prepared for our quest for the 
football game — a mere 14 hours 
before kickoff, to make sure we 
got the best 50 yard line seats. 
Unfortunately, Brother Edward 
T. Groggs could not attend as he 
waited anxiously for his spanking 
new furniture for his room. The 
crew also toured Lehigh's lovely 
mountainous campus, and once 
again were warmly welcomed by 
over 30 fraternities — only the 
housing was not nearly as ade- 
quate as the team had at Muhlen- 
berg. Good Luck tomorrow, men, 
against Lycoming. 

Oh, and on a more serious note 
we'd like to congratulate a few 
Brothers who have lavaliered 
their girlfriends. They are: Rich- 
ard Y. Lynch, Robert Miller, 
Marcus W. Zavattaro, Scott M. 
Torok, Thomas S. Kocaj, David 
E. Skarbek, Scott Henry Hard- 
ing, and a returning alumnus 
Mark C. Fuller, who just yester- 
day lavaliered his girl out at Slip- 
pery Rock College. 

Upperclassmen, be aware of 
the Rush Parties upcoming — 
Andy F. Ford is our new head 
Rush Chairman. 

Let's all have an enjoyable, 
safe weekend and please "Don't 
get Half -Tanked" before the foot- 
ball game! 

love and kisses, 
*Johnny-99 and the Snake-man* 
p.s. Also a big congratulations to 
alumnus brother Dave Roe who 
recently became the proud father 
of a new baby girl. 



SIGMA KAPPA 

Hi kids! Welcome back to Sus- 
quehanna, especially all the fresh- 
men and new transfers. I hope 
everyone had a fantastic summer; 
Sigma's annual migration to 
Ocean City was a blast, as usual. 
Some sisters liked it so much they 
decided to stay on a year-round 
basis. 

We've already kicked the year 
off with our first annual "Tuck-In 
Service." For those of you who 
didn't get tucked in or don't have 
the foggiest idea of what I'm talk- 
ing about, the 'tuck-in' was to 
welcome all the new students and 
raise money for Alzheimer's Dis- 
ease, our philanthropy. All the 
'tuckees' were given a cup of hot 
chocolate, a donut, a bedtime 
story and a kiss goodnight. We all 
had a fantastic time and hope 
that everyone enjoyed it as much 
as we did! A special thanks to the 
guys who helped us tuck the girls 
in! From 305 on the avenue, 
there was Frank Forrer, Chris 
Eble, Ken Newman and Jeff 
Rehling. From Theta Chi: Clay 
Gosset, Paul Brady, Bill Mueller, 
Eric Rank, Randy Hughes, Chris 
Boehm and Rod Hurley. From 
Sigma Phi Epsilon: Glen Burn- 
ham. From Phi Mu Delta: Kevin 
Sinnot, Mark McLaughlin, Joe 
Wolfe and Cosmo Iacavazzi. 
From Lambda Chi Alpha: Mar- 
cus Zavatarro, Kenny Pizzico, 



Joe Azzarello and Rob Miller. 
Thanks again, guys, and we hope 
you enjoyed yourselves. A very 
special thank-you goes to Sue 
Bailey, our philanthropy and 
fundraising chairman, for the 
great idea and all the hard work 
she did to get it together! 

Well, that's all 1 have for this 
week; 1 just can't think of any- 
thing more to type. Until next 
week... 

— Rabbit 
P.S. People on ludes should not 
drive. 
ALPHA DELTA PI 

Welcome back! I hope* that 
everyone had a fantastic summer! 
Also- Welcome back to all our 
visiting alumni... it sure is good to 
see you guys! 

Although we've only been 
back here for three weeks, we've 
been pretty busy... 

First and foremost — Congrat- 
ulations to Lauren "Brod 
woman" Brod! Our first circle of 
the year announced Lauren's en- 
gagement to the pilot of her 
dreams. Do you think you'll be 
able to make it back from Alaska 
or Hawaii for Homecoming next 
year? Can we still call you "Brod 
woman?" Congrats, Lauren — 
we're all so psyched for you! 

Last week we had two more 
circles where Lynn Guzikowski 
and Nancy Patterson became lav- 
aliered to their beaus... Con- 
gratulations, girls! 

Well, with all those congratula- 
tions out of the way, we have a 
more serious subject to address: 
Gretchen-aid. For all of you 
would like to help Gretchen "I 
don't know where he is" Dell find 
her way to California (or wher- 
ever), there is a campaign now in 
progress. Those interested will 
find donation boxes at various lo- 
cations on campus. Please, any- 
thing will help! 

Welcome back to sister Tracey 
Wonsidler, who spent last term in 
Germany. We missed you kiddo 
— welcome home! 

Everyone had best be psyched 
for Homecoming this weekend. It 
should prove to be a fun time — 
but watch out, girls, Patti Collins 
is on the warpath! 

I hope to see everyone at the 
house on Friday afternoon to 
help build the winning float, and 
on Saturday morning for brunch. 

Alice Jeremko said to be sure 
and tell everyone that the foot- 
ball game is mandatory (we all 
love that word!). 

Well everybody, have a great 
weekend. Let's not forget that the 
Hoedown is only two short weeks 
away! 

See ya — 



P.S. Thanks to Pam Culos, Alice 
Body, Sarah Reynolds and Marti 
Richardson for the great party on 
Saturday night! Let's be sure that 
all doors are locked before we 
sing those songs next time! 

Also- good luck to sisters 
Donna Neal and Holly Gasull in 
their volleyball and hockey 
games. Let's all try to get out and 
support them!

ZETA TAU ALPHA 

1 just can't believe that it's Fri- 
day of the 3rd week and Home- 
coming already! First, I want to 
apologize to my sisters for not 
making print last week; experi- 
enced technical difficulty. 

ZTA would first like to wel- 
come the class of 1990 freshmen 
to SU. Get ready for a great 4 
years! Speaking of 4 years, this is 
my last year, and my last semes- 
ter in print. 

We were also very fortunate in 
obtaining a house this year, down 
on University Ave. There's still a 
lot of work to be done on it, but 
plans for finishing aren't too far 
in the future. Congrats to KD as 
well in getting their new house on 
the Ave. 

The football team played a 
spectacular game against Muhl- 
enburg last week (Congrats.) and 
Zeta wishes them Good Luck to- 
morrow against Lycoming. A 
"Welcome Back" goes out to all 
the visiting Zetas, and SU alumns 
who are present this w-end. Pres. 
Anita will be taking last-minute 
reservations for anyone who 
needs a place for the weekend. 

In addition to the seniors grad- 
uating, we lost some other ZTAs 
that we miss very much: Lisa G., 
Kristen, and Karen "Buff Wal- 
ter. We did regain Katy Geoghan 
who was away in Europe for the 
past year. Welcome back! 

I would also like to wish my lit- 
tle sister, Barb, a fantastic volley- 
ball season! Well, time waits for 
no woman, so I must be going. 
Only 65 more days 'til Thanksgiv- 
ing break! 

In Zeta Love

GO GREEK 

Panhellenic Council and Interfra- 

ternity Council are sponsoring a 

GREEK ORIENTATION 

PROGRAM 

Tuesday, Sept. 23 

at 7:30 p.m. 

A representative from Panhel 
and IFC will be in the lounges of 
Mini, Reed, Hassinger, Smith, 
Aikens and New Mens ready to 
discuss all the aspects of sorority 
and fraternity life here at SU. 
Some of the topics discussed will 
be the many benefits Greek af- 
filiation offers, leadership roles, 
philanthropy projects, social and 
academic responsibilities, and the 
lasting friendships. This informa- 
tion session will also give you a 
chance to ask any questions per- 
taining to Greek Life. College 
education can be more than just a 
four-year classroom experience, 
so go Greek! 

The Panhellenic and 
Interfraternitv Council 



THE FLY 

It is with pleasure that I an- 
nounce the advent of The Fly, a 
dandy remake of the 1958 sci-fi 
classic in which a scientist named 
Brundle crossbreeds himself with 
a housefly. It's been remade into 
a horrow film, with director 
David Cronenberg concentrating 
on the transformation from man 
to insect. Jeff Goldblum, ascend- 
ing the throne of Everyman re- 
cently left vacant by Rodney 
Dangerfield, is a study in ner- 
vousness as an average guy 
caught in extraordinary circum- 
stances. His face is a mask of hor- 
ror as he spits acid on his food, 
leading him to the awful conclu- 
sion that, "I'm becoming Brun- 
dlefly." Geena Davis, one of the 
finest leading ladies working to- 
day, plays Brundle's girlfriend. 
She's a trooper. When she's ad- 
vised to dump Brundle, she snaps, 
"I have to eo hack to him." Natu- 
rally, love triumphs over all, and 
if Cronenberg's obsession with 
bug parts and blood seems exces- 
sive at times, The Fly still man- 
ages to, well, fly. 



NOTHING IN COMMON 

Another cross-breed is Nothing 
In Common, either a dramedy or 
a comma, depending on whom 
you ask. Tom Hanks carries the 
role of David Basner, a Chicago 
ad exec suddenly saddled with 
two contankerous parents who 
hate each other. Jackie Gleason 
rolls his eyes and growls his lines 
in best Ralph Kramden tradition 
as Basner's stinker of a daddy. 

Eva Marie Saint shows some un- 
accustomed grit as Mama. Again, 
the theme is man caught in the 
middle, but director Garry Mar 
shall takes a mawkish approach. 
Even the cinematography is soft 
in this movie. The role was cus- 
tom-designed for Hanks, who 
gets to stretch his acting muscles 
while employing his usual com- 

edic charm. His character has 
never grown up (he writes com- 
mercials, what more proof do you 
need?), so his folks' separation 
proves as helpful to him as to 
them. Nothing In Common has 
nothing in common with such 
similar "humanist" movies as 



Terms Of Endearment and Twice 
In A Lifetime, though people will 
say it does. No, this movie can be 
likened to those chocolate -cov 
ered marshmallows that mothers 
(including, no doubt Hanks' own) 
pass out at Easter. It's pleasant to 
look at but gooey at the core. 



FLETCH 

Finally, this weekend's on 
campus movie is Fletch, with 
Chevy Chase as the world's slick 
est undercover reporter. Al- 
though it's nice to see Chase play 
something other than a buffoon, 
the script is still only sparsely fun- 
ny. Better to watch a Saturday 
Night Live rerun instead.

Should I Join a Sorority? 





Hi! 




• i m m »| | 




1 



1*1 



What will I gain from joining a 
sorority? What is in a sorority for 
me? Friendship is foremost. The 
college years are unlike any oth- 
ers in life, and the friends with 
whom you share this experience 
remain in your heart and 
thoughts for a lifetime. Your so- 
rority sister is a special friend, 
and though you may be separated 
by distance or time, few barriers 
of strangeness exist when you 
meet again. Sorority membership 
is a lifetime opportunity, extend- 
ing from college days through 
one's life. 

There is much to be learned in 
a sorority chapter, lessons which 
cannot be learned in a classroom. 
There are leadership opportuni- 
ties. Making decisions and run- 
ning an efficient organization en- 
ables women to accept and meet 
the same challenges in their 
careers and personal lives. The 
chapter is a working model of a 
democratic society. Along the 
theory of a town meeting, each 
member has the right to be heard 
and cast his vote as the group 



Time and effort on energy 
management "grow" savings dollars 



m 



wrestles with achieving a balance 
between freedom of the individ- 
ual and the welfare of all. 

Scholarship and high academic 
achievement are major priorities 
for the sorority. Group activities 
are designed to stimulate intellec- 
tual curiosity and to encourage 
each individual to achieve her 
best — intellectually, spiritually, 
emotionally, and socially — de- 
veloping a wisdom upon which to 
build her life. 

Traditions of high idealism 
have prompted every sorority to 
establish and maintain philan- 
thropic programs. These are ser- 
vice projects to the community 
and the world. 

So, the sorority has no limits. It 
is symbols and badges, magazines 
and flowers, a special project to 
care about, but most of all it is 
people, friends, the times you like 
to remember, the fun, the things 
you do for your school and your 
community. It is the people you 
have chosen and who have cho- 
sen you for a friend, as someone 
to be proud of, today and always.

WHO WAS THAT MASKED MAN? 

If you really want to find out who those masked men are running 
around the football field, this year's football program is the place to 
look. The program will feature information and statistics on the 
mighty Crusader players, coaching staff and team as a whole 
throughout the year. For those of you who might be interested, fea- 
ture articles about the opposing teams and their schools will also be 
printed for each game. After the game, you will want to take ad- 
vantage of the fantastic coupon offers provided by local merchants 
for a great afternoon snack. 

The Susquehanna men's and women's swim teams will once again 
be selling the programs at the games. Proceeds benefit the entire 
campus community since most of the monies generated through 
program sales are used to maintain facilities in Houts Gymnasium. 
So come on out tomorrow afternoon and show your spirit! Remem- 
ber to find your favorite swimmer and buy a program so you will 
know the names and numbers of all those fearless defenders of the 
orange and maroon.

Notes from 



New Organ In Horn 



Dear Men and Women 
of Susquehanna: 
Did you know that...

I had these students in mind 
while I read this quotation recent- 
ly from the National Catholic 
Reporter: 

"The toughness and conserva- 
tism of students right now are 
very thin. All these students 
need is permission to be com- 
passionate again. Nobody is 
telling them to pity people. I 
think students would be so re- 
lieved to get permission to be 
compassionate again and start 
rescuing people in deep trou- 
ble..." 
As the newly installed Chap- 



lain of Susquehanna, 1 give each 
and every one of you who are stu- 
dents reading this letter permis- 
sion to be compassionate. You 
have so many wonderful gifts of 
personality as individual; your 
Fraternities, Sororities, Projects, 
and organizations represent so 
much potential for what is good 
and positive. Let yourselves and 
those organizations to which you 
belong become instruments of 
compassion. Resist with all the 
strength of character you possess, 
the easy way of making security, 
comfort, and irresponsible sensu- 
ality your life's focus. Each one 
of you has so much to contribute. 
You have my permission and 
support and encouragement to be 
compassionate. 



By the way, I was encouraged 
by the presence of so many of 
you at my service of installation 
last Sunday. 

Thank you!! 

For the greater glory of God!

Weber Chapel has a new resi 
dent: a 16-foot-tall, 380-pipe cus- 
tom-built organ recently installed 
in Horn Meditation Chapel (the 
small room near the Chaplain's 
office used mostly for prayer and 
eucharistic services). 

The instrument was con- 
structed by Lynn Dobson, a well- 
known organ builder from Lake 
City, Iowa. Dobson has built a 
total of 33 organs in his lifetime, 
including two on the East Coast: 
one in Burlington, NC, and one 
here in Selinsgrove. His skills as a 
master craftsman are widely ac- 
claimed in the Midwest. 

The new organ, as noted 
above, stands about 16 feet tall, 
which still classifies it as a "small" 
organ. The console consists of 
two keyboards and pedals. It de- 
rives the "power" of its sound 
from the 380 pipes inside the tall 
wooden cabinet which makes up 
the bulk of the organ. "Small" as 
it may seem, the quality of this 
organ is incredible. 

All SU organ students will pro- 
bably agree that this organ far 
surpasses the quality of the 
30-year-old Baldwin that former- 
ly inhabited the meditation 
chapel. According to Dr. Susan 
Hegberg, university organist and 
head of the music department, 
Horn Meditation Chapel has 
been in need of a new organ since 
the mid-1970's, but the project 
had not been realized until this 
year. 

With the construction of the 
new instrument, more and better 




opportunities for student organ- 
ists have also been realized. Now 
there is a quality organ on which 
the student may practice in rela- 
tive quiet, instead of on stage or 
in Heilman Hall. Also, services 
such as memorials, prayer circles, 
and even small weddings are 
often held in Horn, in which case 
an organ would be necessary. Dr. 
Hegberg may even hold her 
organ lessions in Horn to give her 
students the privilege of playing 
such a high-quality instrument. 
However, those who wish to 



use the organ must remember 
that Horn Meditation Chapel is 
also for meditation, and must 
respect the wishes of students 
who come there to pray. Might 
there be a conflict of interest? Dr. 
Hegberg stresses the need for 
compromise: "No place of wor- 
ship is quiet when a musician 
must prepare his music for a ser- 
vice." Besides, what could be 
more conducive, to prayerful 
meditation than beautiful organ 
music?

What is Acts 29? 



When was the last time you 
picked up a Bible? Better yet, 
when was the last time you read 
the 29th chapter of Acts? Well, 
for those of you who don't know, 
there is no 29th chapter of Acts. 
So then what is Acts 29? 

Acts 29, now in its seventh 
year, is an on-going campus min- 
istry created by a student seven 
years ago. This student, Bill 
Weiser, saw all the financial and 
personal support that the Luther- 
an Church had given Susquehan- 
na, and he thought it would be 
nice to show the school's grati- 
tude in a special way. Thus Acts 
29 was born. Different groups of 
students got together and formed 
teams, each with a different type 
of ministry. These teams then 
traveled to Lutheran Churches in 
the area to give them a unique 
and personal thank-you for their 
support. 

Since that time, Acts 29 has 
grown. Last year over a dozen 
teams traveled to 65 different 
churches. The demand for teams 
has greatly increased since the 
first year of its formation. Calls 
are already coming in from 
churches asking to host a team. 

But what exactly is a team? 
What does it do? A team is a 
group of people who share the de- 
sire to minster to others, meet 
new people, and travel to new 
places. Some teams sing, other 
teams act, or do puppetry, or per- 
form mine, or preach. Some do a 
combination of these things. 
When a team forms, they usually 
go out a maximum of four times; 
three predetermined dates and 



one floating date. They travel to 
places as close as Sunbury or as 
far away as Johnstown. 

When talking to people who 
have been on Acts 29 teams, the 
things they seem to like best were 
the fellowship with other stu- 
dents and the opportunity to 
reach out beyond the walls of SU. 

In the Book of Acts, the disci- 
ples of Christ are reaching out to 
share the good news with others 
while at the same time becoming 
closer to one another by working 



together. The Book of Acts has 
noi yet ended. We are writing the 
next chapter through our minis- 
try for the Lord: ACTS 29. 

There will be an informational 
meeting about ACTS 29 on Mon- 
day, September 22 at 7:30 p.m. in 
Greta Ray Lounge. If you are in- 
terested, please stop by. For an- 
swers to any questions you may 
have, please call Chaplain Thom- 
forde (372-4220) or Linda Frees 
(372-3905). 



Crowd Control 



As we are all aware, there are 
plenty of freshmen at SU this 
year. Pamela White, Dean of 
Academic Services, has proposed 
a few reasons why this increase in 
new students has occurred. 

Starting with a couple of facts 
and statistics, White says the 
number of applicants and the 
number of students accepted has 
not changed much over the last 
few years. It is the number of 
those that have actually enrolled 
in SU that has changed. Two 
years ago, 33% of those accepted 
to SU actually chose to go here. 
Last year 30% chose SU. How- 
ever, this year the trend swerved, 
with 40% of the total number of 
accepted students deciding to go 
toSU. 

The same number of students 
have applied to SU, the same 
number have been accepted by 
SU, but the actual choices by the 
students themselves have in- 
creased. 



White further points out the 
benefit SU has had with national 
visibility through US News and 
World Report. She says, "These 
are ways SU is getting stronger 
and becoming more desirable." 

A second reason White points 
out is improvements in the admis- 
sions program and staff. She says 
they are getting stronger with 
continued, thorough contact with 
students; letters, interviews, and 
tours are prevalent; and follow 
ups are made with faculty and 
student phonathons. Publications 
have been upgraded, and contact 
with guidance conselors of high 
schools has been improved. 

A third reason noted by White 
is the improvements with finan- 
cial aid. Students have been noti- 
fied earlier about financial aid 
packages and they have been 
given better explanations of what 
these packages included. There 
has been an overall fairer, more 
equitable treatment of freshmen 
concerning financial aid.

Crusaders Kick Mules 



The Susquehanna University 
football team scored seventeen 
first half points and used a strong 



defensive effort to past a 1 7-7 sea- 
son opening victory over the 
homestanding Mules of Muhlen- 
berg. 

The Crusaders go on the score 
board first when sophomore half- 
back Joe Witt bowled over from 
2 yards out with 8:24 remaining 

in the first quarter. Witt's score 
capped an impressive 13-play, 
76-yard drive. On the drive quar- 
terback Todd Coolidge hit John 

Lotti for 12 yards and Rob So- 
chovka for 1 8 yards, while Kevin 
Gormley added a 13-yard run. 
Senior placekicker Randy Pozsar 
added the PAT and SU led 7-0. 

The Orange and Maroon 
upped their lead to 10-0 when 
Pozsar connected on a 31 -yard 
field goal with 8:37 left in the first 
half. 



Senior halfback Kevin Weber 
then closed out the Crusaders' 
scoring when he broke three 
tackles on his way to a 23-yard 
touchdown scamper with exactly 
1:00 remaining in the half. Poz- 
sar's conversion was good, and 
Susquehanna took a 17-0 lead in- 
to the locker room. 

Muhlenberg tried a furious 
comeback in the fourth quarter, 
but the SU defense kept them out 
of the end zone to preserve the 
win for head coach Rocky Rees. 

Leading the Crusader offense 
was junior fullback Kevin Gorm 
ley who carried 21 times for 101 
yards, while Weber gained 51 
yards on 1 1 carries. 

Coolidge, who was making his 
first collegiate start at quarter 
back after playing in the defen- 
sive secondary for two years, 
completed 1 1 of 25 passes for 153 
yards. Coolidge 's favorite target 
was senior split end Rob Sochov- 
ka, who caught four ariels for 7 1 
yards. 



Sports Corner 



As 1 sit here, waiting for my be- 
loved Mets to finally clinch the 
National League East title, I be- 
gin to wonder whatever hap- 
pened to the good old-fashioned 
pennant race? 

After last weekend, the small- 
est lead in any of the four divi- 
sions was Houston's 7-game lead 
over Cincinnati. However, it 
seems that the Astros have a lock 
on their division, as do the Mets, 
Red Sox and Angels. 



On the football side of things, 
our own Crusaders dominated 
Muhlenberg for a 17-7 victory in 

the opener. Good job, guys. Else- 
where, the AFC Central is turn- 
ing into another race of futility 
with Cleveland, Cincinnati, and 
Houston all with 1-1 records and 

the Steelers sitting at 0-2. The 
USFL may never play again, but 
former USFL players sure have 
made their mark in the NFL. Jim 
Kelly, Kelvin Bryant and Herchel 



Spearheading the Orange and 
Maroon defense, that limited the 
Mules to only 217 yards total of- 
fense, were safety Dave Kells and 



inside linebacker Trevor Henry. 
Kelts was in on 11 tackles, includ- 
ing one sack, broke up a pass, and 
stopped a Muhlenberg drive deep 
in Crusader territory with an in- 
terception. Henry also made 1 1 
tackles and had a pass break up. 
Steve Curran, Ken Jones and 
Dave Huff also contributed solid 
defensive efforts. 

The Crusaders are back in ac- 
tion tomorrow as they open their 
home and Middle Atlantic Con- 
ference (MAC) season against de- 



fending MAC champion Lycom- 
ing, a 24-21 winner over Division 
II Lock Haven last week, in the 
annual homecoming game at 
1:30. 

Greg Betz 




Walker have all made great con- 
tributions to their respective 
teams. 

Taking a look at the tennis 
scene, Ivan Lendl and Martina 
Navratilova once again won US 
Open titles, and it looks like these 
two will top the ranking for quite 
a while. However, up-and-coming 
West Germans Boris Becker and 
Steffi Graff may have something 
to say about that by the end of 
next year, and don't forget old 
pros John McEnroe and Chris 
Evert Lloyd. 

How for our weekly trivia 
question: Minnesota Twins 
pitcher Bert Blyleven has yielded 
an American League record 44 
home runs this season, two shy of 
the major league record. Who 
holds the record by giving up 46 
home runs during the 1956 sea- 
son? 

Some topics for next week's 
SPORTS CORNER: Who should 
be NL and AL Most Valuable 
Player? Can the 49'ers win with- 
out Joe Montana? Are the Atlan- 
ta Falcons capable of going 16-0? 
Will Billy Martin manage next 
year? Where? Look out, Lou.

Sticklers Hot 



Susquehanna University field 
hockey has started out their sea- 
son on the right track. This past 
Friday, the sticklers met with 
College Misericordia to open up 
Coach Connie Delbaugh's elev- 
enth season with a victory. 

To start things off, Holly 
Gasull, one of eight returning let- 
ter-winners, flicked in the first 
goal early in the first half. The 
Crusaders continued to attack 
the Misericordia defense through- 
out the game, but it was not until 
the second half that the sticklers 
scored again. Junior right wing 
Liz Kelly rushed the goalie with 
success, bringing the score to 2-0. 
Last but not least, late in the se- 
cond half, senior M.J. McLaugh- 
lin scored the final goal. Thus, 
the Lady Crusaders defeated 
Misericordia 3-0. 

This past Monday, Susquehan- 
na matched wits against Bucknell 
University. Coach Delbaugh was 
pleased withthe performance of 
her team, for they held the Divi- 
sion I team to just one goal. The 
sticklers worked well together 
throughout the entire game and 
their hard work and persistence 
paid off. Under the direction of 
junior Sue Bailey, the defense 
was able to keep the ball in the at- 
tacking fifty yards for a major 
part of the second half. In addi- 
tion, senior inner Felicia McCly- 
mont scored off a pass from soph- 



■ omore Liz Dawson. The final 
outcome of the scrimmage was 
SU-1,BU-1. 

The Crusader field hockey ros 
ter has its share of talented fresh- 
men. They are as follows: Susan 
Brandt, Cindy Cook, Debbie Ed 
gar, Shana Hennessy, Nancy 
Heyer, Patty Hostler, Kosha 
Kaczmar, Kris Marconi, Kirsten 
"Pebbles" Monier, Beth Parillo, 
and Wendy Sherkus. 

The varsity line-up for Susque 
hanna includes 8 returning letter 
winners. The forward line is as 
follows: Left wing: junior Dianne 
Meyers; left inner: senior Megan 
"Gidget" Moyer; right inner: 
senior Felicia McClymont; right 
wing: junior Liz Kelly. Sopho- 
more Holly Gasull and senior 
M.J. McLaughlin play the left 
and right links, respectively. Sus- 
quehanna's defense is led by jun 
ior Sue Bailey at center halfback. 
This Macungie native is sup 
ported by juniors Joni Book and 
Candy Lain. In the sweep and in 
the goalie positions are freshmen 
1 Cindy Cook and Patty Hostler, 
respectively. Other members of 
the squad are: Sherrie Breeden, 
Liz Dawson, Sheila Hall, Heidi 
Perry, and Karen Scotchlas. 

The sticklers will be matching 
up against Lycoming tomorrow 
at 11 a.m. for Homecoming. 
Please come and show some 
spirit.

Winners Never Quit 



The Homecoming Miracle 



1 remember many miracle fin- 
ishes in sporting events, such as 
the Miracle in the Meadowlands, 
a game between the Giants and 
the Eagles; Doug Flutie's amaz- 
ing 60 yard pass to beat Miami, 
FL; and the Miracle on Ice at 
Lake Placid in 1980. However, 
the unbelievable comeback of the 
Crusader football team against 
Lycoming has to be the best this 
writer has ever witnessed. 

The Orange and Maroon 
trailed 42-22 with 8:06 remaining 
in the game after Lycoming quar- 
terback Larry Barretta scored on 
a five yard run. 

However, Susquehanna 
marched 75 yards on two plays to 
start the comeback, when Todd 
Coolidge hit Rob Sochovka with 
a 36 yard touchdown pass, 25 
seconds after Barretta's score. 
Randy Pozsar added the PAT 
and the lead was cut to 42-29. 

The Crusaders scored again 
with 4:09 remaining on a 5-play, 
80-yard drive, when Coolidge 
found split end Al Bucci for a 
20-yard scoring strike. Key plays 
on the drive were Coolidge 's 
passes to Bucci and Joe Witt for 
23 and 26 yards, respectively. 
Pozsar's conversion cut the lead 
to six at 42-36. 



After forcing the Warriors to 
punt from the SU 34, Susquehan- 
na took over on their own 20 
with 1:13 remaining in the game. 

SU opened the winning drive 
with a 17-yard pass from Coo- 
lidge to John Lotti and a Coo- 
lidge to Sochovka pass for 10 
yards. The junior signal caller 
then hooked up with Bucci for a 
10 yard gain to put the ball at the 
Lycoming 37. 

Three plays later, with the 
clock ticking down under 10 sec- 
onds, Coolidge hurried the Cru- 
sader offense up to the line one 
last time, and found Sochovka 
open along the sideline at the 20. 
The senior split end broke three 
tackles as he tip-toed along the 
sideline for the game-tying score 
as time ran out. Pozsar nailed the 
extra point and gave Susquehan- 
na the wild 43-42 victory. 

"I knew there would be no 
time left and I had to go all out to 
get it," said Sochovka of his win- 
ning score. "It was the greatest 
feeling; I could do that a million 
times over." 

Lycoming used the passing of 
Barretta to open up a 28-7 half- 
time lead. The Warrior quarter- 
back connected with tight end 
James O'Malley six times for 154 




yards and three touchdowns in 
the first 30 minutes, while SU 
could only muster a 55-yard run 
by senior halfback Kevin Weber 
with 10:23 left in the first half. 

The Crusaders scored on their 
opening drive of the second half, 
when Coolidge hit Bucci with an 
18-yard scoring ariel with just un- 
der five minutes gone in the third 
quarter. Pozsar's kick made the 
score 28-14. 

After a 5-yard scoring run by 
Barretta, with 12:37 remaining in 
the game, upping the Warrior 
lead to 35-14, the Orange and 
Maroon came back to score on 
another big play. Fullback Kevin 
Gormley, who ran for 103 yards 
on the afternoon, broke free on a 
51 -yard touchdown gallop. So- 
chovka ran for the two-point con- 
version to make the score 35-22 
with 9:50 left to play, setting the 
stage for the miracle. 

Coolidge, who was named 
Middle Atlantic Conference Of- 
fensive Player of the Week, com- 
pleted 23 of 38 passes for 345

Karniol Brings In Plimpton 



■ 

George Plimpton performs. See page 2 for more information. 



Hilda Karniol, the versatile 
painter who was born in Vienna 
and has lived in Sunbury, Pa., 
since 1949, is being honored at 
Susquehanna University Satur- 
day, Sept. 27, with the appear- 
ance in Weber Chapel Auditori- 
um of George Plimpton and the 
New York Philomusica chamber 
ensemble. 

The 8 p.m. event, open to the 
public without charge, is spon- 
sored by the Hilda Karniol En- 
dowment for the Arts, created in 
1985 by Mrs. Karniol's son, Wil- 
liam G. Karniol, and his wife 
Lynne Karniol of Dix Hills, N.Y. 

Hilda Karniol was an instruc- 
tor in art at Susquehanna from 
1 959 to 1 975 and has been close- 
ly identified with the university's 
various cultural activities for 
many years. 

A sensitive artist well-known 
for her Pennsylvania farmscapes 
in watercolor, oil, and casein, as 
well as for abstractions, portraits, 
marine scenes, and social state- 
ments, she first worked profes- 



sionally at the age of 1 3 when she 
illustrated children's books for 
Synek, a Prague publisher. 

She studied under Olga Knetz- 
ny-Maly and A.F. Seligman and 
graduated from the Vienna Acad- 
emy for Women. She lived and 
painted in both France and Italy 
before coming to the United 
States with her husband Frank in 
1938. 

During her years in America, 
Hilda Karniol has exhibited in 
well over one hundred one-man 
shows at colleges, libraries, gal- 
leries, and museums across the 
country. She is represented in 
numerous private collections and 
twenty of her paintings hang at 
Susquehanna University. 

The goal of the Karniol Arts 
Endowment is io help strengthen 
Susquehanna's program offerings 
in the visual arts by sponsoring 
lectures and exhibits, providing 
for the purchase of books, and 
funding other ventures. 

Saturday's program includes a 
presentation by George Plimp- 



ton, the widely-known writer ath 
lete-musician-actor who has 
played quarterback for the De- 
troit Lions and percussion with 
the New York Philharmonic and 
has flown on a trapeze for the 
Clyde Beatty-Cole Brothers Cir- 
cus. 

He is also president of the 
board of directors of the New 
York Philomusica, the critically- 
acclaimed chamber ensemble 
which appears with him in Selins- 
grove under the artistic direction 
of Robert Johnson. 

The Philomusica will perform 
Mozart's "Quintet," K. 452 in 
E-flat, for piano, oboe, clarinet, 
horn and bassoon, and Beetho 
ven's "Septet," Op. 20 in E-flat, 
for violin, viola, cello, bass, clari 
net, bassoon, and horn. 

The participating artists are 
Meg Bachman Vas, piano; Ron 
aid Roseman, oboe; David Sing 
er, clarinet; Robert Johnson,

Keeping it Alive 



Here On Campus 



This week's column takes a 
look at two language clubs — 
English and Spanish. The presi- 
dent of the English Club, Pam 
Bixby, is enthusiastic and full of 
ideas. She and vice-president 
Tammy Smith have been putting 
some extra thought into the club 
this year; meetings should be held 
twice a month. Two great ideas 

suggested were a Renaissance 
Festival and fireside chats (des- 
sert and coffee). Pam hopes that 
the English Club can be support- 
ive of the Artist Series, and Steve 
Paradies suggested that the mem- 
bers of the club participate in the 
workshops that the National

Our Corner 

Here we are at the end of week 
4 already. If you're at all like me, 
it came none too soon. This week 
was open season on students: I 
had 3 tests, as did several other 
people. It's weeks like this one 
that make weekends so great. 

Last week's column about 
reading days generated no reply, 
at least not officially. I have 
heard, however, that not all the 
faculty are behind the proposal 
and that the reason the issue 
came up is because the faculty 
have only ontil Dec. 23 to get 
grades in, as opposed to Jan. 6 
last year. There should be little 
difficulty in creating a compro- 



Yesterday (well, actually at the 
time of this writing it hadn't hap- 
pened) the Spanish Club held its 
first meeting and Martin Bruno 
said that another meeting will be 
held in 2-3 weeks. All meetings 
will be held Thursdays. Even 

though you don't have to be flu- 
ent in Spanish, knowing the lan- 
guage would be extremely helpful 
as all meetings, which are held in 
the International House, are 
spoken in Spanish. At these meet- 
ings, Martin will speak about his 
experiences, and anyone is al- 
lowed to participate in comparing 
the US to Spanish-speaking coun- 
tries. He said that there has been 
an increase in student participa- 
tion. Like the other language 
clubs, excluding the English Club 



mise here, but it is not the stu- 
dents' problem, so don't involve 
us. 

I have a question. Now, this 
column is written on Tuesday, so 
perhaps this question no longer 
applies. Why is the cafeteria 
wired? I mean, who the heck 
would want to break in? I get the 
idea: they don't want people to 
avoid paying for meals by sneak- 
ing in. Is it really worth it, 
though? This alarm goes off for 
about 5 or 10 minutes and no one 
is around. It is a joke, and an 
annoying one at that. 

Part of the problem is that we 
have been going out those doors

meeting Merritt Geilfuss urged 
people to walk for the CROP 
walk on Sunday, Oct. 5. Deb

for as long as I've been here, and 
I'm sure it's been longer than that 
since they were wired up. Now, 
all of the sudden, there are 
alarms, and no one bothered to 
mention it. I found out by won- 
dering what that obnoxious noise 
was the other day, then noticing 
the new stickers and other para- 
phernalia on the doors. 

By now everyone must know, 
and it will become a game. I hear 
that it went off 3 times in a 15 
min. period at lunch on Monday. 
I have a solution. We survived 
for the past couple of years with- 
out 'em, so toss 'em. Either that 
or put up with the games and the 
noise until it wears off, which on 
this campus may take years — 
they still like to roll that rock all 
over campus and I guarantee 
there will be a pumpkin on Heil- 
man's steeple come Halloween. 

On to another current event, 
very current. Tomorrow night, 
Saturday, George Plimpton and 
the NY Philomusica will appear 
in Weber Chapel Auditorium, 
starting at 8 p.m. The show is free 
and Plimpton has a wide variety 
of life experiences to draw upon. 
For more info, see the front page 
story. 

That's about all for this week. 
Enjoy the weekend, and how 
about we have one where noth- 
ing gets broken, just for a change 
of pace. See you here next week. 

Editor 



Wednesday evenings at 7 
b.m. The Crusader will hold 
its weekly staff meeting. At 
these meetings the assign- 
ments of articles for the com- 
ing issues of the paper will be 
distributed. Also, people wan- 
ting to help with layout, pro 
ductioin, photography and 
typing of the paper are wel- 
come to attend the meeting. 
Anyone who is interested in 
writing for the paper or help- 
ing out in any way should at- 
tend. The meeting will be held 
in The Crusader office located 
on the bottom floor of the 
Campus Center. 



III. Plimpton Swings In 

The stage is clear, the actors 
have gone, and the big boat be- 
hind Weber has pulled out. Tell 
the truth, how many of you did 
look for the boat? The "Pirates of 
Penzance" kicked off the SU Art- 
ist Series for the 1986-87 season, 
and we packed the house. "Evita" 
is the next show on the Artist Se- 
ries bill and it is quite different 
■ from "Pirates." "Evita" is a mod- 
ern rock musical with an up-to- 
date plot and a stirring musical 
score. 

OK kids, I don't know how 
many of you have seen the little 
yellow posters around, but 
George Plimpton is coming to SU 
tomorrow evening. Plimpton is a 
happening dude who should be 
very entertaining this Saturday 
night at Weber Chapel Auditori- 
um. He has spent a lifetime writ- 
ing books and articles based on 
his many experiences. Folks, this 
is a man who has done it all. 
From football to ice hockey to 
performing on the flying trapeze, 
he uses a personal, first-hand 
viewpoint in his writing and 
speaking. Last year Cliff Robert- 
son was a crowd favorite, and we 
think ol' G.P. will not disappoint 
us. Appearing with Plimpton will 
be the New York Philomusica 
(what an interesting combination 
this will be!) It will be an informa- 
tive and entertaining evening in 
Weber. The event is sponsored by 
the Karniol Arts Endowment and 
it is absolutely FREE (you don't 
even need your I.D. for this one!). 
So bring a friend, bring your 
whole hall, bring a keg (just kid- 
ding), and enjoy a zany evening 
with George Plimpton. 

Now for something completely 
different...in case you don't al- 
ready know, Bucknell University 
is just a hop, skip, and a jump up 
the road. (OK, so it's a pretty long 
jump.) Seeing as we are both 
neighbors with Artist Series pro- 
grams, we have decided to ex- 
pand our horizons. In a neighbor- 
ly show of affection, we have 
pulled the ol' switcheroo with 

some of our tickets. What does 
this mean to you? If you are one 
of the first 50 lucky people to 



beat the mob on their way to 
Lance Sadlek's office (located in 
the campus center) this Friday, 

you will not only receive a free 
ticket to see the show at Bucknell 
(a prize in itself), but you will also 
have a complete synopsis of the 
play by Lance himself. (You will 
also be eligible for this year's 
grand prize: one evening with 
Lance to play his infamous com- 
puterized baseball game, which is 
said to be the BEST game by at 
least one SU student.) 

But seriously, you can obtain a 
free ticket to attend the play 
Ceremonies in Dark Old Men" 
to be presented at Bucknell, Sun- 
day evening (Sept. 28) at 8 p.m. 
The play is being performed by 
the Negro Ensemble Company 
who has often been reviewed as 
"the finest company on the 
road." Lance Sadlek will be hap- 
py to fix you up with a ticket, but 
you have to find your own trans- 
portation. 

A preview of coming events: 
there are two faculty recitals on 
the horizon. On Oct. 1, C. Scott 
Smith will be presenting a horn 
recital that will begin at 8 p.m., 
and David Boltz and John Fries 
will combine their viola and 
piano on Oct. 8. We will give you 
the full scoop on those next week. 

In case you haven't guessed, 
this article and its information 
have been sponsored by Arts 
Alive. As we have stated before, 
if you want us to promote your 
artistic event, call our very own 
Arts Alive Information Hotline 
(ext 3928). Our operators are on 
duty to answer your questions. 
Remember, we need 2-3 weeks' 
advance notice to promote it. 

There are many artistic pro- 
grams coming up this semester; 
so to stay on top of everything, 
read our article weekly. Until 
next week, Plimpton lives!

International Education Program 



REACH OUT AND TOUCH... 

Now that you are all settled in 
to your classes, you may find 
yourself with some spare time. 

How would you like to spend 
that time helping out a person 
less fortunate than yourself? 

Selinsgrove Center is looking 
for people just like you to share a 
little of yourself with some of the 
mentally retarded residents. All it 
takes is a couple hours a week 
and transportation is available. 

The Volunteer Services office 
has a list of job descriptions you 
can look over to see where you 
would like to volunteer. They 
range from mildly retarded to se- 
verely retarded. The choice is 
yours. 

If you think you are interested 
or would like more information, 
please send your name, campus 
address, extension, and mail box 
# to Joanne Timulty c/o Volun- 
teer Services or just stop by the 
Volunteer Office right between 
Mini-dorm and the Kappa Delta 
house between 9:15 and 4:30 
daily. 

DO YOU WANT TO DANCE? 

The Susquehanna University 
Dance Company is currently 
seeking new members. Our con- 
cert in March will include Jazz, 
Ballet & Modern Dance. We 
would also like to include a sec- 
tion of international ethnic 
dances. If you know anything 
about dance in other countries or 
are interested in dancing, choreo- 
graphing, costume making, or 
program designing, contact Mrs. 
Clark in Heilman Rehearsal Hall 
on Oct. 7 or 9 from 12:15 to 2:15, 
or send a note by campus mail to 
box 1438. (Please include name, 
local phone number, and area of 
interest.) 

FRENCH CLUB COOKING... 

Help support the SU French 
Club, "Le Cercle Francais," dur- 
ing the annual Market Street Fair 
on Saturday, Sept. 27, in down- 
town Selinsgrove. The club will 
be sponsoring a food stand, "La 
Creperie," which will feature 
several kinds of fresh crepes. 
Please come join the fun and help 
us bring a little bit of France to 
Selinsgrove. 



COMPUTER ACCESS 

We all know of the new in- 
room phone hookups, available 
to SU students this year. But not 
everyone is aware of the com- 
puter hookup. Data connections 
are made via an AT&T Informa 
tion System Network (ISN) data 
switch. A data switch is a piece of 

hardware that allows any two 
users to transmit digital data be- 
tween them. This data switch 
allows access to the HP3000 
computer, which is the main cam- 
pus computer. It also allows you 
to pass data or transmit and 
receive data to anyone connected 
to the switch. All of the dorms on 
campus have been wired for data. 

Any personal computer can be 
used for this service. They must 
have the following: 1) an asyn- 
chronus communications adapt- 
er, 2) a computer program which 
makes the PC function as a ter- 
minal. 

Another feature of this is an 
electronic mail system on an 
AT&T 3B2 computer. This al- 
lows students to leave messages 
for other students. In order to get 
this service, you must subscribe 
to telecommunications for data, 

contact the computer center and 
become a legal user of the mail 
system. A student, Jeff Walker, 
wrote the software for the elec- 
tronic mail system. Anyone inter- 
ested in finding out more infor- 
mation about this service should 
contact the computer center. 



LEWISBURG CRAFT FAIR 

The 14th annual Lewisburg 
Craft Fair will be held Oct. 10-12 
at the Lewisburg Armory. This 
annual gathering features 75-100 
professional craftspeople and art- 
ists exhibiting, demonstrating, 
and selling their hand-crafted cre- 
ations. The Armory is located on 

Rt. 15 in Lewisburg, and Craft 
Fair hours are as follows: Friday, 
Oct. 10, 1-9 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 
11, 10 a.m.-9 p.m.; and Sunday, 
Oct. 12, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. There 
is a $2 general admission fee at 
the door.

CROP WALK 

The Selinsgrove Area CROP 
Walk will be held Sunday, Oct. 5, 
1986. Registration begins at 1 
p.m. in Weber Chapel parking lot 
and the walk will leave at 1:30 
p.m. CROP is a hunger relief pro- 
gram run by Church World Ser- 
vice, but is open to any individual 
or organizational orientation. 
Walking ten miles or biking twen- 
ty miles is a lot, but is too often 
commonplace for people around 
the world needing food. The 
money raised and collected will 
go to various hunger relief pro- 
grams designated by the spon- 
sors. 

It may seem like a lot of steps 
and only a little contribution, but 
whatever you do should be con- 
sidered valuable! Contact Chap- 
lain Thomforde or Merritt Geil- 
fuss (x3905) for a sponsor form 
(sponsors pledge money for each 
mile you go) or more informa- 
tion. Hope to see you on Oct. 5! 



SGA SENATORS ELECTED 

Elections for new SGA sena- 
tors were held last week. The list 
of newly-elected senators is as fol- 
lows: Kirsten Larson and Mark 
Wood from Hassinger; Siobhan 
Amadei, Karen DeGraw, Jenni- 
fer L. Miller, and Sean O'Keefe 
from Smith; Keith Bauman, Jen- 
nifer A. Miller, Brad Moor, and 
Siobhan Rooney from Reed; 
Mark Delawter, Carolyn Harri- 
son, Kirk Kirkland, and Eric 
Schmidt from Aikens; Polly 
Cooper, Diane Herdling, Scott 
Patrick, and Tara Saalmuller 
from West; Denise Berry and 
Leta Blatt from Mini; Steve 
Cook, Ed Lopez, and Ken 
Hugendubler from the Avenue; 
Brian Kahan and Steven Schnee- 
weis from Off-Campus; and Bill 
Mueller, Dave Salter, and Sue 
Zabransky representing the 
Greeks. 



The International Education 
Program at Susquehanna can add 
an exciting dimension to 
anyone's total college experience. 
Any student interested is able to 
take advantage of either a corpo- 
rate internship or a regular course 
program. 

A few of the programs avail- 
able require a working knowledge 
of the language of the particular 
country. Two of these programs 
are Konstanz and IES, which re- 
quire working knowledge of 
either French, German or Span 
ish. Additional programs are ex 
pected to be added for study in 
either Japan or Singapore. 

Other programs operate at 
schools that only require that you 
know how to speak English well. 
A popular program is the Susque- 
hanna at Oxford program held at 
Oxford University, England. Stu- 
dents usually take two courses 
over a period of five weeks. The 
courses are taught by an "incredi- 
bly intelligent" British faculty. 
Courses are available in the fol- 
lowing fields: business-econom- 
ics, history, politics, literature, 
fine arts, or theater. 




One girl who had taken ad van 
tage of this course over this past 
summer commented that it was 
"fun and enjoyable to learn about 
the culture and the professors 
really make it very interesting." 
She would "definitely recom 
mend" overseas study to anyone. 
And she has good reason to be 
satisfied: she met her future hus- 
band while staying in England. 

Susquehanna also offers in- 
ternship programs with such in- 
ternational companies such as 
Siemens Corp., Hoecshst A.G., 
Emil Lux Corp., and Borg War- 
ner Corp. in Germany; and John 
son & Johnson and American Ex- 
press in France. These intern 
ships will give a definite advan- 
tage to anyone competing in the 
professional world of business 
after graduation. 

A student can also prepare for 
an international experience here 
at Susquehanna. This is done by 
taking an interdisciplinary minor 
in International Studies. An em- 
phasis can be placed on either 
Area Studies (Latin America, Af- 
rica, the Far East, Eastern or 
Central Europe) or International 
Diplomacy and Trade. After tak- 
ing the required courses, the stu- 
dent will be that much more pre- 
pared to enter into their interna- 
tional education internship. 

Two of the newer programs at 
Susquehanna are the semesters in 
Liberia and Sweden. 

For more information on any 
of the International Studies pro- 
grams, contact Dr. Robert Brad- 
ford, Director of International 
Education. His office is located in 
Bogar Hall.

It's Greek to Us 



SIGMA KAPPA 

Hi Kids! How was everyone's 
weekend? If it was as exciting as 
ours was, then I'm sure you all 
had a great time! I don't know 
about the rest of you, but we 
started our weekend on Thursday 
— how about those three-day 
weekends? Nancy Stepsus, our 
wonderful Spirit Chairperson, 
held a bippm' picnic down at 
good ol' 300 University Avenue. 
Even the rain didn't dampen our 
spirits (no pun intended — hon- 
est). Speaking of our house.. .we 
had a work weekend and the 
house looks mah-va-las, I must 
say! So if you haven't seen all the 
hard word that the sisters did, 
come on down and take a look. 

Homecoming was exciting — 
two of our alums were recently 
engaged: Sharon Anderson, '85, 
and Susan Gorsuch, '86. We wish 
them much happiness and luck in 
the years to come! It was fantas- 
tic to see all the alums that were 
up. We certainly miss them. 

Congratulations go to the Field 
Hockey team for their victory 
over Lycoming, and also to the 
Football team — you had us wor- 
ried for a little while, guys! 

Until next week... 

-Rabbit 
P.S. Scores for P.S. are posted; 
contact Franklin for important 
updates. 



THETA CHI 

This past weekend saw the re- 
turn of our glorious alumni, 
many of whom have gone on to 
biger and brighter things. The 
others, well.. .they can still party. 
To the graduated alumni — 
watch out for that salad bar. To 
John Campeau, just keep eating 
your Wheaties, you might still 
grow some. Thanks go to Danny 
Patterson for revitalizing the 
Theta Bop. And to "Pee Wee" Sa- 
lerno, do us a favor next year — 
shut off your truck at night. 

In the area of sports, we would 
like to congratulate the entire 
Crusader football team on their 
incredible comeback victory over 
Lyco this past weekend. Way to 
go, Kenny, we're all proud of 
you. Lyco also had a tough time 
with the SU soccer team, losing 
2-0 at their home field. On the in- 
tramural front, the Theta Chi 
team has blown out to a 3-0 rec- 
ord, while the house rats have 
"weasled" a 1 - 1 record, but we're 
practicing. 

Speaking of sports, Mr. Walser 
has started a sports club of his 
own; between bob-sledding with 
Mr. Kipp at three in the morning. 



and late-night mud wrestling, he 
has been a very busy man. Nicky, 
get a grip, the dry cleaning bill is 
in the mail. 

Missing: Rod Hurley. 

A few quickies: Mr. McNairy 
SSSHHH! Our fire alarm works! 
Our sincere congratulations to 
Anne Molloy; however, now we 
can't live with Marc. Does any- 
one remember the tailgate party? 
Does anyone remember this 
weekend? Stone, you're relevant, 
don't worry about it. Brothers 
Paul Brady, Doug Khlare & Mur- 
ray Hunt all turned 21 this week; 
look out, B.J.'s. Go Giants! Daub 
& Walker, get Van Ellis out of 
your closet & tell him he grad- 
uated. 
Until next week, 

— Meme & Puck 
P.S. Way to go little sisters, we 
love you!! 



ZETA TAU ALPHA 

Yet another weekend is upon 
us, and I'm still recovering from 
Homecoming! What a w-end! It 
was great seeing all the Zeta sis- 
ters back to visit, in addition to 
the rest of the SU alums. Let's do 
it again sometime. 

First, we would like to congrat- 
ulate the football team on that in- 
credible win against Lycoming! 
Who says there's no excitement 
in Selinsgrove! Let's do it again 
next week at Delaware Valley, 
when the sisters road-trip down 
to the game. Good luck, men! 

But back to Homecoming. We 
would like to extend our thanks 
to the Sig Ep men whose joint ef- 
fort in float-construction won us 
third place in the parade. Con- 
gratulations to ZTA Dottie Hart 
who was chosen junior represen- 
tative in Homecoming Court! 
Congrats also go out to H-Queen 
Anne Molloy and the rest of her 
court. 

Glad to see everyone make it 
down to the house for "hotdogs 
at halftime" and the "Alumni Re- 
ception" after the game. A defi- 
nite good time was had by all. 

Just a reminder that our ZTA 
day retreat is coming up fast. 
Let's rgmember to keep Oct. 4 
open. Now, on to a few personal 
notes — Jen, we hope your beau 
is back on the field soon, and. 
Wendy, your -21 was awesome 
at the game! To all the girls at the 
house, I hope you can live with 
Val's double personality. Good 
luck to Barb W. (my own little sis) 
and the rest of the V-ball team 
this weekend in their tourna- 
ment!

SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

Well, time again for this week's 
report about the happenings here 
at 593. First of all, the Bros 
would like to thank the Sisters of 
Alpha Delta Pi for making our 
Lush Boat pre-party a huge suc- 
cess. It's a good thing Brother 
Giaimo took his Dramamine be- 
fore we left port. After we had re- 
turned from our one-hour "cruise 
to nowhere," the SS SigEp re- 
turned to take on more passen- 
gers; including two castaways 
with their bottles of "XXX." The 
captain would like to thank ev- 
eryone who sailed Saturday 
night; and for those who missed 
it, look for a return voyage next 
year. 

Of course, this past weekend 
was Homecoming and we'd like 
to thank all our generous alums 
and parents for stopping up. The 
bros would like to congratulate 
the winners of the Float competi- 
tion. We'd like to thank the sis- 
ters of ZTA for all the help on 
our float that took third place. I'd 
also like to personally thank Shar- 
on Ward for helping me to fight 
off that Doberman during our 
search for the extra cardboard. 
Explain that one to Mom & Dad, 
Sharon. 

Going back in time, the bros 
had a good time at our "closed" 
event on Friday night. Brother 
Giaimo took the annual "down- 
towner" award as his early even- 
ing Double Shot was second to 
none. 

Now, I'd like to take time to 
key the interested guys in on 
what Sig Ep is doing. We've got 
Monday Night Football every 
Monday, and those special 
Thursdays. Look for water polo 
next Wednesday night. For de- 
tails, see any brother, or feel free 
to stop up at the house — just 
walk right in. 

Now with a few closing re- 
marks: Jim Faust's birthday was 
Sunday, not Thursday as previ- 
ously reported. (Hope your room 
wasn't "turned upside down" in 
the confusion, Jim). Brothers Ed 
Lopez and Steve Cook have been 
elected as Avenue Senators. Get 
those alarms out of the Cafe, Ed! 
Bruce Lee is not dead, he's been 
reincarnated as our Chapter Pres- 
ident. Our little sisters have really 
been doing a fine job so far: 
"Lloyd Lindsay Buckingham?" 
Also, Doug McKenna has won 
the eternal pledge of the week 
award for painstakingly taping 
his Hustler magazine back to- 
gether. "Soap on a leash- What a 
concept." 

—The Tubster 
Quote of the week: "Have you 
met Brian?" 



ALPHA DELTA PI 

Well, it's Friday once again, 
finally! I hope that everyone had 
a very productive week, and got 
all their work done . . . Yeah, 
right!? 

Homecoming was quite a suc- 
cess. Even the weather held out 
for us. There are lots of congratu- 
lations to say this week: 

Congrats to the football team 
for pulling through in a great 
game against Lycoming! 

Congrats to sisters Alexion and 
Miller for representing their 
classes and ADPi in the Home- 
coming Court. 

Congratulations are also in 
order for Ann Molloy for her 
new title of Homecoming Queen. 

You all did a great job! 

We all enjoyed a fantastic 
cruise on Sig Ep's "Lust Boat" on 
Saturday night. Thanks, guys! 

Okay, girls, the Hoedown is 
only eight days a way... If you 
need any help finding a date, just 
call Mod B's Hoedown Hotline. 
The same number can be used by 
those good-looking, square danc- 
ing fellas who would like to par- 
take in this hay-throwing, foot- 
stomping, knee-slapping, ail- 
American event! The number's in 
the book. 

I hear that Polly "do-se-do me 
to the car" Cooper also has an ef- 
fective method for finding dates. 

The Juniors ('85'86 pledge 
class) will most likely be having a 
lock-in this Thursday night — 
Hope to see you all there. 

Once again well be sparking 
up the old bar-b-que at the Mud- 
house this Saturday. Watch out 
where you sit, girls; you know 
those Phi Mu Delta boys love to 
make you sit in that certain chair! 
We're all brushing up on the 
words to the National Anthem 
and "I Love America" just for 
you guys. 

Well, I guess that's about it for 
this time. Have a great weekend 
and well see you next week... 

See ya- 

— Prissy 
(that's for you, Michelle Z.) 



PHI SIGMA KAPPA 

Greetings from the Ave. Being 
that last week's article didn't 
make the printing, for reasons un- 
known, I'll just hope and pray 
that this one gets published. 
Things have been going rather 
well here. Alumni weekend was a 
real scream — "Manson" was still 
recovering from brother Andy 
Takagh's bachelor party last 
weekend and turned down (for 
the first time) Cliff Holm's idea 
for a death-punch party. Nothing 
made me happier than winning 
that float. Just goes to show that 
when you work your potatoes off 
for three days, you can really ac- 
complish a goal. Thanks to all 
who put in their time. Well have 
to put the winning money to a se- 
rious party this weekend — be 
sure to come down and check it 
out. Maybe Dennis "Budha" San 
saveri will lead us on another glo 
rious "destroy those old, un- 
wanted appliances" romp. Yo, 
Jim Hilker, wazzamatter- cat got 
your tongue? Had another ac 
tion -packed informal rush to- 
night, which went well. Guys, 
stick with us, we'll hand you a 
whole, new outlook on life. 



Be sure to hit up a conversa- 
tion with Rob "Snoopy" Ancepek 
sometime about the Scottish 
Highland Games- he sure knows 
the poop. Will somebody please 
buy Pete Shearer a pair of 
shoes!?? John "Bonus Fonus" 
Fones and Chris "Lumpy" Pluta 
had visits from their wives this 
weekend. Brian "Shbag" 
Sheafer's tailgate party was the 
real ticket to an amazing Cru- 
sader football game.. .wow, what 
a game! Congrats, guys. Well, 
that's 'bout it. Hey, Marge, do 
you really accept personal 
checks? 

Skelles, six and Lassie, 

-John "Sid" Snyder 



PHI MU DELTA 

Hi there! Yes, it's that time 
again. So drop the books, kick off 
the shoes, and prepare for yet an- 
other incredible weekend. In case 
you've forgotten (memory loss is 
often associated with Homecom- 
ing weekend) well recap some of 
the excitement. Yes, despite the 
lack of liability insurance which 
consequently caused a lack of 
any parties at the Mudhouse, 
there is some noteworthy news. 
First off, thanks go out to Petey 
Digiacomo and the complying 
roomie Phil for picking up the 
slack on both Friday and Satur- 
day nights. 

Further thanks go out to many 
of our illustrious alumni who re- 
turned and attended the Board 
meeting and cookout on Satur- 
day; their dedication is greatly ap- 
preciated. They also had the priv- 
ilege to see the phenomenal Cru- 
sader comeback on Saturday, hell 
of a game!! Brother Kahan's rug- 
by team didn't fare quite as well, 
but our very own Little Sister 
Susan Zowie was honored by be- 
ing crowned the rugby queen; 

Mom couldn't be prouder. Along 
the lines of false honors, Bill 
"Burf ' Shroeher achieved the ri- 
diculous "Litey" award for his 
Goldilocks imitation: "Who's 
been sleeping in my bed?" How- 
ever, taking Bill's place in "Quad 
Rock" were Biz Mortimer and 
good old Tracy. ..let us in, let us 
in!!! Further along the lines of 
sleeping, after initiation, Nancy 
the "Barkid" proved that she is 
not to be trusted on our new fur- 
niture; please be more careful in 
the future. 

Despite the success (?) of the 
partyless weekend, we're not go 
ing to try it again. The search for 
insurance has kicked into high 
gear and should be over by the 
time this makes print. So, come 
back home — we miss you. 
Brothers, get psyched for the pre 
party activity this Saturday, it's 
gonna be like old times. 

Congratulations are in order to 
our new Little Sister Officers- 
President: Janet Brandle, and 
Vice-President: Beth Ann 
Tracey. Oh, Cosmo lacavazzi, 
fresh from knee surgery, would 
like everyone to know that the 
cheetah is the fastest land mam 
mal. Any questions, contact him 
at four-oh slime. That's it. Keep 
those cards and letters coming.

SGA News 



What would happen if you 
crossed LA CAGE AUX 
FOLLES with TREASURE IS- 
LAND? You'd get THE 
PIRATES OF PENZANCE, 
Gilbert and Sullivan's fabled 
operetta, one interpretation of 
which rolled into town Home- 
coming weekend. The Artist Se- 
ries presented this musical, whose 
attendance purportedly num- 
bered near 1200. 

THE PIRATES may not be 
the ideal musical event for a col- 
lege campus. This is difficult 
material to absorb. Done correct- 
ly, this operetta can be loads of 
fun to watch. Done incorrectly, it 
can seem silly and dated. The lyr- 
ics, written to be rattled off like 
lightning, are sublime parodies of 
British social mores. The music is 
bright but complex. And the plot 
is a mere contrivance. 

What I am trying to say is that 
it all hinges on the production. 
I'm hanged if I know where this 
production finally landed. It 
started out innocently enough. A 
band of brightly dressed pirates 
flooded the stage, singing about 
the joys (theft, lechery) of their 
chosen lifestyle. They drank and 



revelled, bellowed and had a mer- 
ry oP time. Then they confessed 
that they were pansy pirates, un- 
able to ransack and pillage much 
beyond what was needed to sur- 
vive, and reduced to tears when 
confronted with the word "or- 
phan." They accompanied this 
with a delightfully swishy dance, 
led by the rambunctious Pirate 
King. Swords flew and halberds 
rose. Those pirates whipped the 
audience into a frenzy. 

Then something happened. 
The women entered. 

Gilbert and Sullivan operettas 
are famous for their roles which 
are tailor-made for piercing so- 
pranos. Every piercing soprano in 
upstate New York must have 
been onstage that night. They 
portrayed the lovely (!) daughters 
of the Major General, come to 
the beach at Cornwall to frolic. 
Chief among them was Mabel, 
who fell in love with Frederic, the 
young pirate's apprentice. They 
sang a lovely, if slightly campy, 
duet — much to the chagrin of 
Mabel's sisters. So much for plot. 

All the actors were in fine 
voice, and that saved this show. 
The actors seemed never to con- 



nect with the audience; theirs 
were distracted, if not downright 
automatic performances. Both 
the Major General and the Pirate 
King had some fine moments, but 
before the final curtain fell, they 
too were reduced to mindless 
mugging and shameless tomfool- 
ery. This was a confection show; 
a show of bright colors and silly 
songs. A show of clanging swords 
and bumbling policemen. A show 
of shrill sopranos and booming 
contraltos. THE PIRATES OF 

PENZANCE offers a great op- 
portunity to roast British society, 
all under the sanctified heading 
of "theatre." Unfortunately, 
there was less to this production 
than met the eye. Bless their 
hearts, they meant well. 

(Incidentally, there is a terrific 
version of this show available on 
videotape. It retains the cartoon- 
ish fun of the show, but wastes 

no opportunity to expand on Gil- 
bert's witty social observations. 
THE PIRATES OF PEN 
ZANCE stars the recent Broad- 
way cast, including Rex Smith, 
Kevin Kline, Linda Ronstadt, 
and the great Angela Lansbury.) 



Crew Team is_Off the Dry Docks 



Three years ago a Rob Lowe 
movie, "Oxford Blues," drew 
much attention to an under-pub- 
licized sport that most colleges 
and universities know little 
about: crew. Indeed, a movie glo- 
rifies any kind of sport in its at- 
tempt to gain audiences; and, yes, 
Rob Lowe is not your typical 
crew member. However, an inspi- 
ration for the sport itself can be 
perceived from the movie — one 
that finds itself attracted to the 
Susquehanna campus. 

Susquehanna is situated in 
probably the most ideal location 
for crew. With the Susquehanna 
River just about a mile away, ac- 
cessibility could not be better. 
However, it was not until this 
year that an actual team has been 
organized. 

President Cunningham has 
been trying to organize a crew 



team for Susquehanna since the 
first week this fall. After convo- 
cation, an enthusiastic freshman, 
Keith Morris, spoke to Dr. Cun- 
ningham about starting a team. 
Morris' interest was sparked by 
curiosity and an eagerness to par- 
ticipate in the sport. 

Along with Morris, Cunning- 
ham spoke to Dana Leach, a 
sophomore and basketball play- 
er/university scholar. Like Mor- 
ris, Leach was excited about the 
opportunity of starting a crew 
team. He believes that a crew 
team is "something this school 
needs." Furthermore, he stated 
that crew is a sport that "de- 
mands endurance and strength- 
ens the upper and lower body." 
Included in training for crew 
would be activities such as run- 
ning, weightlifting, jumping rope, 
and swimming. It affects the car- 
diovascular system greatly. 

Usually, there are three differ- 
ent classes in crew. One, two or 



eight-person shells are among the 
most popular numbers to work 
with in crew. However, women 
usually work in a maximum of a 
six-person shell. 

Right now, funds are being 
raised for financing the team. For 
the first year, the crew team will 
be in an organizational process. 
People will become familiar with 
the actual training for the sport. 
Later, competitions with other 
colleges in this area and maybe 
New York or New England will 
be possible. However, before any 

plans and arrangements can be 
made, support from the students 
is needed. Anyone who is inter- 
ested in going out for the men's 
and women's crew teams but 
missed the organizational meet- 
ing this past Tuesday is urged to 
contact athletic director Don 
Harnum through campus mail.

Three New Hall-of-Famers Inducted 



The Susquehanna University 
Sports Hall of Fame inducted 
three former Crusader athletes at 
halftime of last Saturday's foot- 
ball game. Inducted were: David 
Long, Class of 1976; William Sul- 
livan, Class of 1935; and Edgar 
Wingard, Class of 1902. This br- 
ings the total number of members 
of this elite group to 86. The Hall 
of Fame was chartered in 1967. 

Long was an outstanding bas- 
ketball and track athlete for SU. 
He was a four-year letter winner 
in basketball and is the school's 
fourth all-time scorer with 1489 
Points. He was selected to the 
Middle Atlantic Conference- 
Northern Division all-star team 
three times and was an Associ- 



ated Press all-state honorable 
mention pick. He was SU's MVP 
for the 1973-74 season. 

In track, Long set a school rec- 
ord for the high jump by clearing 
6 feet, 6'/2 inches in 1975. 

William Sullivan played foot- 
ball and track for four years at 
SU. He played guard on the foot- 
ball team and was a member of 
the 1932 team that finished 7-0-1 
under coach Bill Ullery — the 
first undefeated team in SU foot- 
ball history. He was also on the 
1934 team that traveled by train, 
along with the entire SU student 
body, to Philadelphia to face 
Drexel. 

Sullivan ran the 100 yd. dash 
and participated in the weight 
events for the track team. His 
track career highlight was placing 



third in the 100 yd. dash at a Cen- 
tral Pa. Intercollegiate Track 
Meet. 

Edgar Wingard was a football 
player and coach at SU. He 
played line positions for the Cru- 
saders in 1899 and 1900 and was 
the captain of the 1901 team. 

After an outstanding playing 
career, he went into coaching at 
such schools as Butler University, 
the University of Maine, Buck 
nell University, Louisiana State 
University (where his 1908 Tigers 
went 10-0), and the University of 
Pittsburgh. 

Wingard coacrwd the Crusad- 
ers for the 1916, 1924 and 1925 
seasons. His overall coaching 
record was 65-33-6. He was also 
an assistant coach under the 
legendary Pop Warner. 



The Student Government As- 
sociation held its first meeting of 
the year at Seibert Hall. Presiding 
over the meeting was President 
James Faust. After the call to 
order was given by Faust, roll call 
was taken of the newly elected 

senators. Treasurer Doug Carl- 
son gave his report of the finan 
cial status of SGA. He found that 
there was over $38,000 left over 
from last year's SGA treasury. 
That and all future money will be 
used to fund student activities 
and all student clubs. 

The dorm reports were then 
given by the various head dorm 
senators. If you do not know who 
the senators from your dorm are, 
find out by contacting the SGA 
office. The senators are the demo- 
cratic voice on campus so it is im- 
portant that they know your con- 
cerns. It was reported at Reed 
that there have been problems 
with illegal parking there. Dean 
of Students Dorothy Anderson 
said she would look into the prob- 
lem. 

Next, the senators were as- 
signed various committee seats. 
The committees are: Academic 
Affairs, which is the students' 
voice in deciding what should 
and should not constitute the cur- 
riculum; Budget and Finance, 
which is in charge of allocating 
all money in the treasury of SGA; 



Government Operations, which 
is in charge of running all student 
elections; Food Service, which is 
the students' voice in the opera- 
tions of the cafeteria; Extracur- 
ricular Activities, which is in 
charge of overseeing all extracur- 
ricular activities; Public Rela- 
tions, which is in charge of mak- 
ing sure that students are aware 
of SGA and its functions; and So- 
cial Affairs, which is in charge of 
getting a guest speaker on cam- 
pus this year. 

Old business was then taken 
up. A proposal for a new non-al- 
cohol pub was discussed by 
Faust. The pub would be mod- 
eled after various under-21 clubs 
and would include a disco. 

A motion was then made to 
elect Paul Brady as vice presi- 
dent, replacing Robert Miller, 
who resigned, and Kim Gorman 
as secretary, replacing Timothy 
Laubach, who also resigned. The 
vote was unanimous in favor of 
the nominations. Alice Jeremko 
was also elected to be a member 
of the Student Judiciary Board. 

The next meeting of SGA will 
be held on Monday, Oct. 6, in 
Seibert Hall. If you have any 
problems or special concerns, 
please contact your dorm repre- 
sentative:

Notes from 



Dear Men and Women of Sus- 
quehanna: 

I was recently asked to fill out 
a questionnaire about the future 
needs of Susquehanna. There 
were questions regarding the aca- 
demic program, the endowment, 
residence halls, student life, and 
maintenance of the campus. 
Each area of our life together 
seemed pressing and in need of 
nurture but one area struck me as 
crucial, absolutely central to our 
growth as a community of men 
and women who care about each 
other and the Truth. This area is 
the faculty. 

I look at the faculty as the 
heart and life of any great or even 
good university. Students and ad- 
ministrators come and go but the 
faculty are a more constant con- 
tributor to the vitality of a cam- 
pus. Buildings are built, come in- 
to need of repair, are renovated in 
a new style; but the faculty, 
teaching students from a variety 
of backgrounds in a variety of set- 
tings, set the tone of a school for 
decades. When I think of my own 
college and university experience, 
I cannot remember what my 
classrooms looked like or even 



what my room looked like. But I 
do remember with vivid apprecia- 
tion those men and women who 
challenged me to think, to write, 
to serve, to grow. 

At times, I fear that we take 
our faculty for granted. They 
work terribly hard at teaching 
and have a general concern for 
the maturation of students. The 
financial constraints of our recent 
history, it seems to me, have been 
such that office space, money for 
professional growth, salaries and 
the number of students per class 
have not always been optimal. 

Of course, we need to recruit 
the most able students, and our 
campus and its buildings need to 
be attractive and well main- 
tained. But I look at these factors 
as the wood and kindling, if you 
will excuse the metaphor, for the 
fire of the educational process. 
The spark which brings it all to a 
wonderful glow is the faculty. 

As we look to the future and 
consider our priorities and how 
best to support them, I urge that 
the faculty and their needs be at 
the very top of the list. 

For the greater glory of God!

Something very exciting will be 
happening on campus Friday, 
Oct. 3. The group "Abraham," 
formerly "the Watchmen," will 
appear in concert at 7 p.m. in 
Weber Chapel. Described as 
"high energy rock and roll," 
Abraham is looking forward to 
playing at SU due to the fact that 
their lead guitarist, Pete Strayer, 
is a former student of Susque- 
hanna. 

Abraham uses a blend of pop- 
rock sounds to get their "message 
of encouragement" to "anybody 
willing to listen." This multi-tal- 
ented band gives new dimension 
to contemporary Christian music. 

Pete Strayer got involved with 
the band when he met Tink 
Abraham in the studio last fall. 
Strayer, a music major and Presi- 
dent of I. V., took their offer to 
play lead guitar and joined the 
band. Strayer stated that he's al- 
ways had a concern for young 
people and that people need to 
hear the truth. 

The group changed its name 
because of a changeover in 
music. The name, "Abraham," 
was chosen because it is the last 
name of three of the group's 
members. Future plans for the 
group include writing songs for 
an upcoming album. Tickets for 
the concert will cost $5.00 at the 
door.

Ups and Downs 



This past week in soccer ac- 
tion, the team of maroon and or- 
ange felt both the glories of vie 
tory and the perils of defeat. 

On September 17, the Crusad- 
ers traveled to Williamsport to 
meet Lycoming College. After an 
uneventful first period, the sec- 
ond half was filled with action. 
Just minutes after the second 
period action began, sophomore 
Bill Mueller scored the first goal

with an assist by Mark Thor- 
sheim. The second point was re- 
corded with 5:06 remaining in the 
game. Paul Brady took the credit 
for that one with Thorsheim as- 
sisting his teammates once again. 
Sophomore goalie Robert Anci- 
pink was credited with nine saves 
while protecting the net, allowing 
the Crusaders to travel back 
home with yet another victory 
under their belt. 

This past homecoming week- 
end, the Crusader booters hosted 
the powerhouse club from Mes- 
siah. The large crowd of alumni, 
parents and friends cheered on 
the determined Crusaders, but 
their competition still came out 
ahead. Messiah left with a victory 
of 3-0. Ancipink once again was 
the man guarding the net with 
another six saves added to his 
total this year.

afternoon, including 17 of 23 for

"He had an outstanding day," 
said Crusader head coach Rocky 
Rees. "He didn't get out of the 
blocks well. At halftime we 
showed him what Lyco was do- 
ing and we told him to have fun." 

Also having outstanding days 
were split ends Bucci and Sochov- 
ka. Bucci caught 9 passes for 145 
yards and 2 touchdowns, while 
Sochovka hauled in 6 passes for 
122 yards and 2 touchdowns, in- 
cluding the game winner. 

Leading the Crusader defense 
were Dave Kells and Trevor Hen- 
ry. Kells made 18 tackles on the 
day, while Henry was in on 15 
tackles and recovered a fumble.

Sports Corner 



Here we are, back for another 
week of sports news, and I'm sure 
most of us are still in shock over 
the incredible finish to the annual 
Homecoming football game. 

The gridders trailed 42-22 with 
eight minutes left against the de- 
fending conference champions, 
and scored 21 unanswered points, 
including the winning touch- 
down with no time left on the 
clock. For the whole story read 
the football article. 

Since we're on the topic of 
football, how about those Atlan- 
ta Falcons. After upsetting Dallas 
on Sunday, 37-35, Dan Henning's 
club is 3-0 and tied with the Rams 
.for first place in the NFC West. 
This is the same Falcon team that 
won only three games last year. 
They may not keep up their cur- 
rent pace, since they play nine of 
last season's ten playoff teams, 



but they are certainly building a 
solid foundation for the future. 

Elsewhere in the NFL, many 
teams are having trouble keeping 
their quarterbacks healthy. Gary 
Hogaboom in Indianapolis, Bob- 
by Hebert in New Orleans and 
Marc Wilson of the Raiders have 
all been injured in the first three 
weeks. However, the biggest in- 
jury to a quarterback is San Fran- 
cisco, where Joe Montana is out 
for the year with a back injury. 
Despite the loss of Montana, the 
Niners should be able to capture 
a playoff spot again this year. 

On to baseball, with the pen- 
nant races all but over, we will 
look at possible candidates for 
Most Valuable Player in each 
league. 

In the National Legue, Mike 
Schmidt, Gary Carter and Tim 
Raines appear to be the front run-

ners for the award. Raines is hit- 
ting .328* and is in the top five of 
most offensive categories, but he 
is playing for a second division 
team, twenty games behind the 
division champions. Carter is the 
backbone of the Mets and is cred 
ited with molding the Mets' 
young pitchers into one of the 
best staffs in the league. Despite 
hitting only .240, he has 21 home 
runs and 95 RBIs and will proba 
bly get the sportswriters' vote. In 
my opinion, Schmidt deserves the 
award. He is possibly having his 
greatest season with 36 homers 
and 1 15 RBIs, while making only 
eight errors on the year. 

The American League candi 
dates are Boston's Roger Clemens 
and Jim Rice, and George Bell of 
Toronto. Clemens is 24-4 with an 
ERA of 2.50 and 227 strikeouts, 
including 20 in one game. Rice 

has 20 homers with 107 runs bat- 
ted in and is hitting .326 for the 
first place Red Sox. Bell has 31 
home runs and 106 RBIs to go 
with his .323 average. Look for 
the writers to give the award to^ 
Rice, but I feel Bell is having the 
best season and should win the 
award. 

Look for Billy Martin to be 
back in uniform next year, man 
aging either Minnesota or the 
Yankees. With the Bronx Bomb- 
ers 10 Vi games out of first and 
struggling all year to get a set 
lineup, Lou Pinella may not be 
back in charge for George Stein- 
brenner's club next year.

Faculty Fellows Forming 



What are faculty fellows, you 
ask? They are faculty who 
"adopt" a dorm and spend some 
time with the students of that 
dorm. It's something new, and it 
is undergoing its so-called "trial 
run" beginning this month. 

The idea got started by Chap- 
lain Thomforde last year. As 
many, or most, of us know, the 
Chaplain made his residence in 
West Hall in the last weeks in the 
spring of last year. He also ate in 
the dining room with the stu- 
dents, chatting about anything 
and everything. He was encour- 
aged by this experience to look in- 
to a faculty fellows program for 
SU. 

Thomforde called other univer- 
sities with successful programs, 
got ideas together, and decided to 
introduce it to SU. 

What the program consists of 
is a faculty member who "adopts" 
a dorm, and hosts various activi- 
ties for that dorm, and involves 
him/herself more with the stu- 
dents in an "other than class- 
room" setting. 

The faculty member will host a 
reception each month, possibly in 



the lounges of the dorms or in the 
cafeteria, with special refresh- 
ments. These receptions would 
most likely be held before a lec- 
ture, play, athletic event, or 
movie on campus. Thomforde 
pointed out that such activities 
could depend on the interests of 
the dorms themselves. This pro- 
vides the opportunity to have, as 
Thomforde says, "...a high quali- 
ty social event in residence halls 
outside the classroom." It could 
be a fun get together with a facul- 
ty member and the people you 
live with, to discuss a movie or 
talk about a speaker, or maybe 
even meet the speaker personally. 

The faculty will also be eating 
in the dining room with the stu- 
dents on a weekly basis, and they 
will be inviting students to their 
homes periodically, providing an 
opportunity to get to know each 
other and talk about various 
things: family, news, sports, 
classes, or papers. 

The faculty fellows provide a 
great opportunity to, as Thom- 
forde puts it, "talk, think, grow, 
socialize." The two basic goals 
are to improve the quality of life 
in the residence halls, and to im- 



A Sports Weekend 



All five Susquehanna Univer- 
sity fall sports teams will be in ac- 
tion at home Saturday, featuring 
the cross country squad in the 
first Susquehanna University 
Invitational. 

The Crusader harriers will be 
hosting Johns Hopkins Univer- 
sity and Salisbury (Md.) State and 
Ursinus colleges. 

The inaugural event will begin 
at Amos Alonzo Stagg Field dur- 
ing the second quarter of Susque- 
hanna's football game versus 
Wilkes College, which starts at 
1:30 p.m. The participants will 
then race over the five-mile 
course, which brings them back 
to Staff Field for the finish during 
halftime of the football contest. 

"It should be a quality meet," 
said Susquehanna head coach 
Stan Seiple. "Salisbury State and 
Ursinus always have very strong 
teams but I do not know very 
much about Johns Hopkins." 

The Crusaders, who have post- 
ed a 60-5-1 record over the past 
four seasons, are off to a fine start 
this season with an 8-2 mark. The 
Orange and Maroon harriers are 
led by junior Mike Burton of 
West Orange, N.J., and sopho- 
more Ed Fallon of Old Bridge, 
N-J. Burton, a graduate of Seton 
Hall Preparatory High School, 
has been the team's top finisher 



in three out of the four races Sus- 
quehanna has run in thus far. 
Fallon, a graduate of Madison 
Central High School, has been 
the Crusaders' runner-up three 
times. 

Seiple, who is in his seventh 
year at the Crusader helm, has an 
outstanding coaching record of 
81-18-1. 

Saturdays's action begins at 1 1 
a.m. when the Susquehanna field 
hockey and soccer teams take on 
Western Maryland College and 
the volleyball squad hosts the 
University of Scranton in the first 
intercollegiate match held in 
O.W. Houts Gymnasium. 

The Crusader booters took a 
2-3 record into Wednesday's 
match at Bloomsburg University 
and the field hockey unit was 
3-1-1 heading into its Wednesday 
game at Lebanon Valley College. 

Susquehanna's predominantly 
freshmen volleyball team is win- 
less in nine outings. The lack of 
space in Alumni Gym made the 
move to the larger facility neces- 
sary. 

Head coach Rocky Rees's foot- 
ball team is a perfect 3-0, the first 
time in 22 years that Susque- 
hanna has won its first three con- 
tests in a season. 



prove the perceptions students 
and faculty have of each other. It 
is a more informal way to expand 
and build on the good relation- 
ships already present between fa- 
culty and students. 



Thomforde says a number of 
faculty have expressed interest in 
the "fellows" and besides Thom- 
forde himself, three others are 
joining the "trial run" this year. 

They are Hans Feldman and 
Charlotte Gross of the English 
department, and Alex Smith, 
Registrar. Two will be assigned to 
each dorm. 

Two dorms have been chosen 
to start off the program, Hassing- 
er and West. These two were cho- 
sen because Hassinger is an all 
freshman dorm, and West is 
mostly upperclassmen. The two 



extremes were chosen, instead of 
a mixed dorm, to find out if the 
program will work better in one 
or the other, for freshmen or up- 
perclassmen. 

The RAs will also be involved, 
and as soon as the faculty meet 
with them and plan activities, the 
faculty fellow program should be 
under way here at SU.

Keeping it Alive 



IV. Home-grown Talent 

Greetings from Arts Alive! We 
hope you enjoyed the evening 
with George Plimpton, but we 
also have other great events 
planned just for you. It's time to 
put the imports on hold and con- 
centrate on our own talent. Yes, 
the Artist Series brought you 
"Pirates of Penzance" and the 
Karniol Arts Endowment sent us 
George Plimpton, but now we're 
ready for a little on-campus ac- 
tion. You are, by now, intimately 
acquainted with the Weber Chap- 
el Auditorium, so for a change of 
pace, the next artistically enrich- 
ing experience will take place in 
Seibert. (If you know nothing 
about Seibert Hall and would like 
to know more, talk to Lance 
Sadlek in the Campus Center. He 
will be so happy to give you his 
infamous "Get-Acquainted-With- 
Seibert-HalT speech. His knowl- 
edge of this great building is vir- 



tually endless!) 

Seibert Auditorium will host a 
faculty recital Oct. 8. This recital 
will feature David Boltz on viola 
and John Fries on piano. Here's a 
little background information 
about our stars: Besides being an 
accomplished violist, Mr. Boltz is 
also conductor of the Susquehan- 
na University-Community Or- 
chestra. He will be conducting 
the pit orchestra for "Guys and 
Dolls." He is particularly interest- 
ed in twentieth-century music. 
Mr. Fries is coordinator of the 
Bachelor of Arts in Music pro- 
gram at SU. His complete knowl- 
edge of the piano includes com- 
posing and arranging as well as 
performing. Both of these gentle- 
men attended Susquehanna as 
students, so this is truly an SU 
production. 

This Wednesday evening at 8 
p.m., David Boltz and John Fries 
will combine their talents in a 



marriage of piano and viola ex- 
citement. The program will fea- 
ture the works of Mozart, Mil- 
haud, Enesco, and other great 
composers. Except for one viola 
solo, all the pieces will be per- 
formed as duets. 

Since we're not music experts, 
we tracked down one of these 
busy performers and only "Keep- 
ing It Alive" readers are privy to 
the information we received. (We 
were pretty excited because it 
was our first interview!) We 
asked Mr. Boltz exactly what 
type of music they would be per- 
forming at this concert. His reply 
was, "It's classical music in the 
sense that it is not rock and roll. 
However, it is not classical music 
written just from the Classical 
Age." He advised us not to label 
the program as "just classical." 
"This concert will feature a wide 
variety of musical styles," he said.

COMPUTER HELP 

Have you ever been typing on 
the computer only to become 
stumped? Or maybe you have 
trouble getting started on the 
computer. I know the feeling 

Our Corner . 

Hello. Enough small talk. 
Yours truly is pretty fired up over 
an incident that took place last 
weekend. It occurred in my own 
dorm, and there were several as- 
pects of it that were downright 
disgusting. 

To set the scene, it is about 
1 1:30 Friday night. My RA and I 
are just standing around shooting 
the proverbial bull when another 
guy from the hall announces that 
there is a fight going on down- 
stairs. Now begin the absurdities. 

I'm going to skip the details of 
the brawl itself, because they are 
really irrelevant. What is relevant 
is the behavior of the students in- 
volved and the security officers 
that arrived on the scene. 

First, although least important, 
is the students, since they caused 
the whole thing anyway. I guess I 
can understand guys fighting; 
when you mix alcohol and macho 
a lot of stupid things happen. 
Who, I don't understand, are the 
guys who stood around saying 
how great this all was and tried to 
egg on the ones who were already 
beyond rational thought? It 
seems to me that not many of 
these guys really care about what 
happens to other people, and 
that's no attitude to have when 
living in such a communal envi- 
ronment. 



well. But don't give up. The Com- 
puter Consultants are here (and 
have been for three years). The 
12 members of this project each 
spend 4-6 hours a week helping 



Since there are so many prob- 
lems in this dorm, it has now offi- 
cially been labeled a "problem 
dorm," and this title has been 
earned. I'm sure the guys are real- 
ly proud. 

The more important issue here 
is security. A week or two ago we 
ran an article entitled "Safe at 
Home," which was about the re- 
cent arrival of Richard Woods, 
the new head of security. After 
the security officers' behavior on 
this night and others, the title 
may have been quite inappropri- 
ate. This makes me angry, espe- 
cially since I'm the one who 
thought it up in the first place. 

Security arrived on the scene in 
about 10 minutes or so. I don't 
know the exact time, but it was 
reasonable and in fact surprising, 
since I know of some delays on 
other occasions. However, when 
the three gentlemen arrived, the 
fight had broken up and many of 
the participants had dispersed. 

Now the one security officer 
asks why they were called. When 
told that the fight has broken up, 
he says, and I am quoting direct- 
ly, "Don't waste our time." Then 
he adds something about the 
other things they have to do. My 
head resident replies that she is 
the one who called, because it 
could have gotten out of hand.

sultants project help evaluate 
software and run technical er- 
rands for the Computer Center. 



This gentleman replies, "Don't 
call us until somebody's laid out," 
and strolls off. 

At this point my RA is fuming, 
and so am I. He calls them aside 
and informs them that he does 
not appreciate their attitude and 
that RAs only call when they feel 
they need help. Thinking quickly, 
security asks if any kegs were 
around. My RA, ready to ex- 
plode, points out that the week 
before, security entered a room 
with three kegs and did not do a 
damn thing. After running out of 
excuses, the officers leave. 

There are some obvious ques- 
tions that need to be asked. What 
does security have to do, besides 
look out for the welfare of the 
students, that this incident 
wasted their time? Is it the stan- 
dard policy to wait until some- 
body's "laid out?" Why should a 
head resident have to explain 
why security was called — aren't 
they on the same team? 

I would guess that this event is 
primarily the fault of the officer 
with the overactive mouth. I 
don't believe that security's poli- 
cy is to wait until someone's "laid 
out" (I have to keep putting that 
in, in quotes, because of how 
ridiculous it is) before helping? I 
would suggest, demand if I could, 
that this matter be investigated, 
and not how we look in to filling 
positions with a 6-month commit- 
tee, but quickly and efficiently. 

I was approached by several 
people, who do not even live in 
my dorm, who had heard about 
the incident. They even knew the 
quotes of security, and they en- 
couraged me to write about it. I 
was going to anyway, but it does 
point out that the concern is of 
many, not just myself. 

I hope this matter is taken care 
of promptly, as it reflects poorly 
on the University. Until that 
time, we, the students, will be 
wondering if we really are safe at 
home.

tory of Susquehanna. This in- 
crease in admissions has brought 
a subsequent increase in other 
organizations and academic pro- 
grams, in particular the Honors 
Program. This year's Honors Pro- 
gram freshman class, only the 
fifth since the program's incep- 
tion, numbers 36 students, as 
compared with last year's 28. 



The Honors Program offers a 
faster and more in-depth pace for 
the student who desires a chal- 
lenging course of study. After 
taking the three core require- 
ments of the Program (Thought, 
Thought and Society, Thought 
and Civilization) and writing the 
two-credit Sophomore Essay, the 



honors student is offered a choice 
of several 300-level courses which 
fulfill core credit and also offer a 
creative and intellectual chal- 
lenge. (Honors courses are avail- 
able for the non-honors student 
with a GPA of 3.0 or better; how- 
ever, they will not fulfill core 
credit.) 



Honors students also benefit 
from extracurricular activities 
such as Fireside Chats, "sleeping 
bag" seminars, and participation 
in district and regional confer- 
ences. Dr. Ronald Dotterer, di- 
rector of the Honors Program, 
states that a goal of the Program 
is to "create a sense of commu- 
nity among those students with 
an interest in learning." 

A prospective freshman is eligi- 
ble for admission into the pro- 
gram if he or she 1) has been ac- 
cepted to SU, 2) has ranked in 



about the top 20% of his/her high 
school class with SAT scores of 
1 100 or better; and 3) shows lead 
ership qualities or an ability to 
work independently. These candi 
dates are invited to a Spring 
Visitation and Open House some- 
time in March or April. A high 
percentage of those who attend 
the open house actually enroll in 
the Honors Program. 



The first Honors class, begun 
in the fall of 1982, included 24 
students. In 1983 there were only 
21 students; by 1984 the number 
had risen to 27; and 1985's class 
numbered 28. This year's class in- 
cludes a record 36 able young 
freshmen, 13 men and 23 wom- 
en. 19 Students are members of 
the School of Arts and Sciences, 
11 are Business students, and 6 



are studying Fine Arts and Com- 
munications. Their SAT scores 
are far above the minimum 1 100; 
averaging 581 verbal and 621 
math, their average total is 1202. 
Dr. Dotterer attributes the 
growth of the Honors Program to 
a combination of the increase in 
enrollment plus the establishment 
and excellent reputation of SU's 
Honors Program throughout the 

state. "The more first-rate stu 
dents that enroll here, the better 
for SU," he says, "regardless of 
whether or not they join the 
Honors Program." He accredits 
the success of the Program to 
those dedicated people who have 
put their time and talent toward 
making the SU Honors Program 
one of the best in the northeast 
United States.

Study in Denmark 



Did you know that one year's 
tuition covers only 80% of the 
expenses necessary for a college 
student? So where does the other 
20% come fron? That's where 
the Development Department 
comes in. Headed by Joan. B. 
Price, Director of Development, 
this administration raises all pri- 
vate dollars for the university. 

In order to procure necessary 
funds to enhance education at 
SU, the department turns to four 
main sources. First, alumni; then, 
the local business community; 
thirdly, larger corporations and 
private foundations; and lastly, 
parents, from whom $30,000 was 
received in one year alone, above 
and beyond tuition. 



Statistics show that last year 
the school received 2.5 million 
dollars, which was a $4,000 in 
crease over the year before. This 

push for funds reflects the com- 
monly known principle that as 
standards rise, so does the need 
for money. 

So thanks to our Development 
Department, the high quality of 
education at SU continues to pro 
vide students with the means to 
achieve their full potential for 
learning, leadership, and service 
to others.

Friday, October 3, 1986— THE CRUSADER-Page 4 

It's Greek to Us 



ALPHA DELTA PI 

Hi. I know you all look for- 
ward to this column every Fri- 
day. It's kind of the highlight of 
your week, right? Well, sorry to 
let you down, but we don't have 
too much news this week. 

I think that everyone is pretty 
burned out from a rough week. 
The profs love to pour on the 
work right about now. I hear that 
a good cure for that is to go to a 
good Hoedown. Hey, what do 
you know, we just happen to 
have one of those coming up to- 
morrow night! What luck! 

Between all that studying we 
did get a chance to have some 
fun. We'd like to thank all the 
freshman girls who attended our 
"pajama party" open house on 
Tuesday night. We hope that you 
all had as much fun as we did. 

I also have a few corrections 
from last week's article: 

First of all, the '85-'86 pledge 
class couldn't get the lock-in 
together in time for Thursday, 
but it will be soon, we promise! 

Also, I'm sure that we would 
have had a great time with the 
brothers of Phi Mu Delta, but 
due to certain uncontrollable 
legal problems, our bar-b-que was 
canceled. We did take a rain- 
check, however, and we're still 
practicing those songs! 

Happy birthdays go out to sis- 
ters Colleen H. on Oct. 2, and to 
Judy R. on Oct. 8th. Happy 
birthday, girls! 

Good luck to the volleyball 
team at their home game this Sat- 
urday, and especially to Pres. 
Donna... 

Well, I guess that's about it 
from here. Get psyched for the 
Hoedown, and if you still don't 
have a date, don't worry, you still 
have 24 hours! 

Until next week- Bye, 

-P.

We'd like to welcome Mike 
Pizzico back from his retreat at 
Phillip's Motel and fill him in on 
some weekend happenings. Fri- 
day night, detectives Steve "The

as" Schwab, and Dean "The En-

ing some ODE homework. 

As little as we've been seeing of 
Steve "Smooch" Curran, we've 
wondered where he's been. It 
turns out ADPi has invited 
Smooch to live in a triple (his 
roommates' names will be with- 
held). If you'd like to catch a rare 
glimpse of Smooch, he's -67 on 
SU's undefeated football team. 
Good luck to SU Football on 
staying unbeaten Saturday and 
crushing Wilkes! 

In keeping with Lambda's tra- 
dition, congratulations to our

aren't true (only most).

SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

Evening, folks! Welcome to an- 
other Sig Ep installment of "It's 
Greek to Us." Wake the kids, 
'cause it's gonna be a good one. If 
you have the urge to photocopy a 
certain column out of The Cru- 
sader, this would be the one. 

Let me first relay the happen- 
ings of last weekend. Friday night 
was the first party of the year 
down at 312, our project house. 
It went very well, strobe lights 
and all. As the night wore on, 
though, we saw many interesting 
things, including but not limited 
to: broken window panes, hu- 
mans and champagne bottles de- 
fying the laws of gravity, one less 
can of soup in the cupboard, and 
a "safe" place to relieve oneself. 
Half of the party then migrated 
up to the old homestead for some 
late-nite "Trekkin'." It was at this 
point that Brother Hunt earned 
his Doctorate, ala "The Lichtner 
Round Trip;" way to go, Foz! 
Friday was a night to remember, 
*- since Saturday was the night that 
everyone seems to have forgot- 
ten, for one reason or the other. 
For your consideration: a 
group of undergraduate road trip- 
pers. They themselves had one 
goal: To search for fun at JMU. 
However, they had no idea (even 
though Brother Owens did, 45 
min. into the trip) that a wrong 
turn would propel them into... 
The Twilight Zone. Now, since 
Yours Truly was not present, 111 
have to write on second-hand in- 
formation. Which I usually do 
anyway. Here's the Cliff Notes 




version of their trip... They ar- 
rived at JMU with a pretty nice 
attitude, and attended the after- 
noon game. But no one told Dan 
that only the two teams were al- 
lowed to participate. The game 
ball is on display at 312. Later 
that night, as the guys are having 
a wild time at our Chapter House 
down there, Dr. Lichtner disap- 
pears once more. Meanwhile, as 
our host Brothers discover our 
Pedge's true identify, Doug is 
picked up by the "heat" and 
placed "ever-so-gently" in "The 
Big House." As Dan awakens, he 
feels the cold, hard cement under 
his head and realizes that he en- 
countered the same fate as our 
pledge. They'll be eligible for pa- 
role with Charles Manson in 
about a good 15. Seriously, it's 
good to see you guys out of the 
"clank," but we do think they 
should have used the riot control 
hoses on Doug. 

Now about the REAL road 
trip! Eric Tucker and myself 
cruised on over to Jersey to see 
the Man, the legend, Neil Young, 
at the Arena. What a concert! 
Graham Nash and David Crimi- 
naL.uh, Crosby, even paid a 
visit. Man, Crosby ate lots of 
bread and water in the joint. It 
was fantastic! After the concert, 
we headed on down to Rutgers 
and visited with a few of our Jer- 
sey brothers. 

Well, it's almost 4 p.m. so I 
have to wrap this up. This Wed., 
we'll be playing Volleyball in the 
Aux. Gym once again. Be sure to 
stop by at 8 p.m. Also look for a 
real hoppin' party this weekend 
up at the house. 

Thank you and drive safely, 
The Tube 

PS- If anyone sees Ed Lopez this 
weekend, please report him 
to your local Sig Ep chapter 
— We miss you, Ed. 

KAPPA DELTA 

Alas, here is the long-awaited 
KD column. Everybody else had 
their chance to rave over the 
Homecoming Weekend, but since 
the PC "ate" our last newsbrief, 
this is our first chance. Bear with 
us. Congrats, Crusaders, on your 
victory over Lycoming, those 
last few seconds were intense! 
Also, congrats to Phi Sig for cre- 
ating the winning float. You guys 
are ingenious! Allow us to pat 
ourselves on the back for placing 
second in the float competition. 
Jeannie was the woman behind 
the scenes who helped make ev- 
erything run smoothly. You defi- 
nitely deserve to be Sister of the 
Week. And, of course, we are 
proud of all of the Homecoming 



reps, especially our own Queen 
Anne! You deserve the title and 
we all applaud your accomplish- 
ments. It was sooo nice to see all 
the alumni at the "No Place Like 
Home" festivities. Beware, Tricia 
lurks! 

Speaking of home, there is no 
place like 309 Univ. Ave.! Our 
new house is incredible! We in- 
vite everyone (except a few mo- 
ronic brothers — thanx for the 
quick action, security) to come 
see the new Kappa Delta house. 
It is absolutely beautiful and will 
be complete with custom-de- 
signed living areas and California 
terrace sometime in January. 
Much persistance, hard work, 
and planning have gone into our 
new home and we give special 
thanks to all of the workmen for 
their help. Linda and Patti, what 
better place for a staircase than in 
front of your window? I would 
like to remind everyone about 
Lib. hours — and the new schol- 
arship incentives (not that we 
need them). How does a lobster 
dinner complete with chocolate 
mousse and a chilled bottle of Pu- 
ligny Montrachet sound? Let's do 
it, seniors! And the brain that 
gets the highest GPA for the past 
semester gets her books for the 
next semester free. Can you think 
of a better use for your money 
than buying an Intro to Theatre 
book? 

We hope you girls are all plan- 
ning to attend our Luau on Oct. 
9. They are always so much fun! 
Please join us! We anxiously 
await our party with Phi Mu Del- 
ta tonight. Greg, are you out 
there? All of us will be there for 
the blowout and we look forward 
to mingling with your beloved lit- 
tle sisters. 

In closing, I would like to re- 
mind all the humanitarians out 
there about the Crop Walk on 
Oct. 5. Ten miles can be seen as a 
few jaunts to the Sub and back. 
Always thinking of you, Gail! Hi, 
C.R.! Have a great week! Love to 
Lu and Buckie, too!

This weekend (except for a mi- 
nor power interruption) went 
smoothly, with all Greeks having 
a great time under our roof. Our 
DJ party Saturday night was in- 
credible. We bopped all night. 

Several brothers went on a 
road trip, courtesy of Nicky Wal 
ser, and initiated some wood- 
chucks in the Poconos. Bro's, 
when you go swimming, you're 
supposed to take your clothes off. 
Some other brothers decided to

Saturday morning? For ticket in-

PHI MU DELTA a 

Greetings from Asbury Park, 
NJ. Yes, I know. I lied. But I lay 
the fault on my usually credible 
sources. This week I went 
straight to the top and got the 
word from God Himself and we 
will have liability insurance by 
this weekend. And, yes, we are 
requiring that all loyal water buf- 
falo return to the watering hole 
or be threatened with missing out 
on one great time. 

Last weekend still had its high 
points — most notably the Broth- 
erhood lock-in on Saturday night 
where a good time was had by all 
— "YOU FAT..." Once again, 
though, Charlie Chaplin Buckley 
lost control and picked up the 
Litey award for buffoonery ri- 
valed only by Litey himself. 
Thanks to the "It's the Mod-Life" 
gang and the ladies at the Kappa 
Delta House for thinking of us 
this past weekend. It'll always be 
remembered. (?) Well, in case 
that's not the truth, well be look- 
ing to conjure up some truly 
memorable events with the 
KDers this Saturday, right after 
our own Little Sisters relinquish 
control of the house after their 
lock-in. 

The Monday night festivities 
got off to a great start with the 
year's opening ceremonies this 
week. Thanks to Kevin McCaf 
I fery for bearing the torch.

Just thought you'd like to know. 
On the local scene, we are proud 
to announce that Chris Lowe lav- 
aliered Michelle Ballotta this 
week — Congratulations are in 
order. On the international scene, 
we are more than proud to an- 
nounce the engagement of Bill 
Scherf '87. A December wedding 
is planned. Bill wants all his 
friends on campus to make dona- 
tions to the Phi Mu Delta House 
Fund in lieu of the usual wedding 
presents. Dooey Sinnot is making 
plans to join him in a double cere- 
mony. I find it hard to believe 
too. Somebody try to talk some 
sense into this man. Maybe he

ZETA TAU ALPHA 

Here I am typing Greek news 
with a deadline to meet in 10 
minutes. Hurry up, Anita, and 
get that buyer behavior home- 
work finished! What a week: last 
weekend, ZTAs Linda, Jen, 
Kathy and Wendy roadtripped 
down to Del Val to see those 
amazin' mets (I mean those in- 
credible Crusaders) win yet an* 
other game to bring them closer 
to the MAC Championship. 
Good Luck tomorrow against 
Wilkes college! 

We met up with alumn Ginny 
who kept Linda busy "dancin' on 
the ceiling." Sisters, I suggest a 
Jacuzzi for the Chapter room! 

Get psyched, ZTAs, our sec- 
ond annual retreat is tomorrow 
morning. We will finalize plans 
and start off the weekend at 
Anita's (you know who you are). 

All in all, this was a pretty qui- 
et weekend down on the Ave. 
Beth, Dottie, Meg, and Bethany 
went home, Barb and Bonnie 
each went to visit their beaus, — 
Bonnie, I hear you had a "burn- 
ing" w-end at Slippery Rock! It 
happens to all of us. 

To Kat, you have to stop lick- 
ing the wall, Deb tells me you 
could get sick. Deb used alternate 
sleeping arrangements this past 
weekend and was boxing in her 
sleep! To Meg, Janet wanted 
more strawberries this past 
wend! 

Well, I apologize to my sisters 
for this short column, but I 
missed my deadline 10 minutes 
ago. 

In Zeta love, 
-K. 

P.S. 52 days until Thanksgiving 
Break! 

PHI SIGMA KAPPA 

Greetings from the Ave. 403 is 
still rocking, thanks to all your 
fine contributions and efforts... 
yeah. Our Thursday night parties 
wind on...last week's was marked 
by Dougie Schnell being down in 
the dumps... so, he enrolled in 
night school. Tom Harrison also 



had "happy feet," and showed us 
all the "Dart." Saturday night 
brought on a party with the 
screwheads from Sigma Kappa- 
nuts 'n bolts style. Sorry I 
couldn't attend. I was partying to 
Pee Wee's Playhouse up in Ro- 
chester with my nephews (aged 3 
and 7). HELP- AAARGH... guess 
you had to see it... 

We inducted two new associ- 
ates on Sunday night. They are, 
respectfully(ha), Dave Lisner and 
Keith "Beef Baumann. The fun 
has just begun, fellas. The 
D.O.A. Romp count stands at 3 
fridges, a t.v., a blender, a 
vacuum, our spiffy float, and, as 
of last night, a waffle iron. I think 
you should start notching the ax- 
le, "Budha." "Bozo" went shop- 
ping in the fruits and produce sec- 
tion, and came up with a hand 
full of peaches. Glad to see the 
Steelers finally won. Why hasn't 
somebody shot Tom Selleck yet? 
Geez...Steve "Dusty" Rhodes will 
be coming up next weekend for a 
"bitchin"' time. Rob "Snoopy" 
Ancipink made the quote of the 
week with '"Battleship' is the on- 
ly (board) game you can't play by 
yourself." Very intelligent...

SIGMA KAPPA 

Talk about successful week- 
ends! This past weekend has 
proven to be pretty wild, mostly 
due to the great time we all had at 
Phi Sigma Kappa. Thanks, guys, 
for the second annual "Nuts and 
Bolts" party. A special thanks 
goes to our social chairman, 
Dana Meyers, for arranging ev- 
erything so smoothly. However, 
there was a little clause: Sister 
McClymont did enjoy that part 
of the deal. Looks like sister 
Meyers has some competition in 
the "Look, I'm dancing on the 
bar!" scene; Barbie Pisciotta 
made an attempt to take charge. 
Speaking of dancing, if anyone 
needs a pointer or two, see Linda

alone" King seem to have devel-

the art of dipping. Can't forget to 
mention that the Sigma Shuffle 
was undoubtedly going strong. I 
am proud to mention that Su-

I'd just like to say that sisters 
Lizzy Dawson and Wendy Tibal- , 
di had quite a time of it this week- 
end. What's this about sneaking 
out of frats as opposed to in? 
Thank heavens for big windows 
(just kidding, ladies)! 

I'd like to extend the warmest 
birthday wishes to Suzanne Kun- 
hast, Tammy Kromis and Becky 
Frost. Hope they were awesome! 

Special thanks go to all the 
alumni who have made contribu- 
tions to our chapter. It is greatly 
appreciated and will help us to 
continue with all the housework 
needed. 

Congratulations are in order 
for this month's recipient of Sister 
of the Month: Susan Bailey. She 
is our Philanthropy chairman 
and has done a wonderful job. 
She is responsible for the Sigma 
Kappa Tuck In, along with ar- 
ranging visits to Doctors Conva-

up the good work! 

One last thing before I sign off. 
Thanks to all the freshmen who 
attended our Hawaiian informal 
rush party. We enjoyed meeting 
you and hope that you enjoy the 
rest of the Panhellenic Informal 
Rush. 

Have a great weekend! 

In Sigma,

P.S. Only four weeks until the 
semi, so start your 
sightseeing. 




Q Reelin 

VAMP 

Vamp may be the most stylish 
thriller since Diva, and it is not 
due to the presence of statuesque 
black women in either. Vamp 
takes a peculiar genre, the horror- 
comedy, and skewers it more 
deftly than any movie since Love 
At First Bite. Vamp is scarier 
than The Howling, more sophisti- 
cated than Cat People, and black- 
er than Eating Raoul. As you 
may have guessed, Vamp has no 
real identity of its own. 

Vamp falls all over itself trying 
to please the entire movie-going 
public. It contains elements of 
horror, farce, satire, art, splatter 
films, teen -exploitation, films 
noir, occult, camp, t & a, and 
melodrama. It fuses these compo- 
nents together to form one relent- 
less whole. It is a film of such 
broad spectrum that it may wind 
up appealing to few. Most people 
wouldn't be content to sit 
through a dozen movies at once. 

I would suggest it though, for I 
really enjoyed Vamp. Above all 
else, Vamp is nasty. It lays waste 
to horror film cliches for once 
and for all. All the world's a vam- 
pire: in one scene a little girl flies 
at the neck of a pimp. Katrina, 
the biggest, baddest vampire, slits 
her wrist so her friend can get a 
quick fix. Vamp is camp in its 
original form; an earnest shrine 
to the best of the worst. Not since 
Michael Jackson boogied with 
the living dead in Thriller have 
horror movies been so expertly, 
well, vamped. 

It would be unfair to reveal the 
plot beyond saying that A.J. 
(Robert Russler) and Keith (Chris 
Makepeace) want to escape the

drudgery of dorm life for the 
glamour of a frat. To do so, they 
have to hire a stripper for a party. 
This entails a trip to the city, 
where A.J. chooses the After 
Dark Club as the ideal spot. The 
After Dark Club is populated by 
vampires. There are corpuscles 
everywhere. Much of the movie 
seems excessively violent, but 
that's logical. A diatribe against 
vampire movies has got to have 
blood somewhere. 

Amazing Grace Jones was the 
ideal choice to play Katrina. 
With her penchant for the unusu- 
al, she looks right at home in a 
stylized aluminum bikini and 
crown. Her best scene is the se- 
duction of A.J.; she is also re- 
sponsible for his subsequent de- 
mise. Dedee Pfeiffer plays Alli- 
son, a waitress at the After Dark 
Club, with finesse. Gedde Wata- 
nabee (Sixteen Candles) is fine as 
a nerdy rich kid. But this picture 
belongs to Chris Makepeace. 

Remember him? He was swell 
in My Bodyguard, stealing the 
whole picture from Matt Dillon, 
Martin Mull, and Ruth Gordon. 
He's made an auspicious come- 
back as the terminally nice Keith, 
who endures vampires, zombies, 
murderous Albino pimps, sewers, 
and cockroaches in one night. He 
starts the picture as just another 
swell college kid. At picture's end, 
he's become a man. Makepeace 
makes the transition naturally — 
just as it happens in Real Life. 
The fact that he steals another 
picture — this one from Grace 
Jones — is reason enough to re- 
member his name for future ref- 
erence. And it's reason enough to 
see Vamp.

Arts Alive TRASH IT! 



(continued from page I) 

Something for everyone, so to 
speak. This concert will run from 
8 to 9 and would make an ideal 
study break. Catch it Wednesday 
night. 

Other news for this week: 
After what seemed to be eons of 
contemplation, the Alpha Psi 
Omega (the honorary theatrical 
fraternity at SU) has chosen a 
show to do this semester. The 
show is called "Black Comedy," 
and it is a farce about a young 
man's mishaps one evening when 
the electricity goes out in his 
apartment. APO has held open 
auditions and will perform the 
show Dec. 5 and 6. 

Alpha Psi Omega President 
Adam Bates (a close, personal 
friend of Lance Sadlek) told us in 
an exclusive interview, "I think 
that 'Black Comedy' will be a_ 




challenge for Alpha Psi Omega, 
but I feel it is necessary for the 
theatre honorary to push them- 
selves toward such an endeavor." 
(Wow, two quotes in one article 
— we're getting good!) One of his 
main concerns is that people will 
misinterpret the title. "It is enti- 
tled 'Black Comedy' merely be- 
cause the play takes place during 
an electricity failure; there are no 
racist connotations whatsoever," 
states Bates. 

Unlike most comedies, the hu- 
mor in this show will lie in the 
movements of the characters as 
opposed to their dialogue. The 
audience will be able to see them, 
yet the characters will have to act 
as if they can't see each other. 
The result should be hilarious. 
More information will be forth- 
coming in this column as the 
show "gets on the boards" (as Dr. 
Nary would say). 

So that about wraps it up for 
the events happening during 
Week -6. No boat, no celebrity, 
but an enjoyable faculty recital. 
If you would like coverage similar 
to this for your artistic event, re- 
member to call the Arts Alive In- 
formation Hotline: Ext. 3928. 
We do need 2-3 weeks' advance 
notice. Until next week, Arts-R- 
Us!

—Do you avoid balancing your 
checkbook because you can't 
do it right? 

—Do you feel your heart racing 
as you approach your math 
class? 

—When an exam involves math, 
do you panic? Go blank? Break 
out in a cold, clammy sweat? 
(Even if you tried studying for 
hours?) 

If you answered yes to any of 
the above, you may be a victim of 
MATH ANXIETY. Math Anxi- 
ety is a self-perpetuating syn- 
drome, which can be all but debil- 
itating in this area of one's life, 
and which lowers one's self-es- 
teem. 

Math Anxiety can be treated 
and significantly reduced! The 
Counseling Center will be offer- 
ing a workshop for people who 
seem smart enough in other areas 
of their lives but "are just dumb" 
(they believe) when it comes to 
math. The workshop will consist 
of four sessions (one per week) at 
a day/time to be arranged. The 
meetings will be used to learn 
about the syndrome (how it came 
about and how it currently oper- 
ates in your life), and to explore 
some specific techniques which, if 
practiced seriously, can reduce 
the problem. (No math will be 
taught.. .rather, the objective of 
the workshop is to improve the 
syndrome so that you can work 
on math in the future.) 

Interested? Curious? There will 
be an organizational meeting on 
Thursday, Oct. 9, at 6 p.m. in the 
Counseling Center. The purpose 
of this meeting will be to assess 
whether there is sufficient inter- 
est, to answer questions about the 
workshop, and to plan regular 
sessions. 



students to use. Just think of it, 
you can now throw all of that un- 
wanted mail that you carry out of 
the Campus Center into these 
new units, not to mention those 
beer bottles that you're not per- 
mitted to have outside of your 
dorm. We're all sure here that all 
of you students on campus will 
put these new additions to our 
campus' landscape to good use. 
For any of you who haven't used 
such devices before, there is word 
out that complete instructions 
will be printed out and placed on 
each of the units. Whether this is 
true or not, we don't know. But 



one thing is for sure: there are nu 
merous people on campus who 
will need to read the directions 
for proper use because obviously 
quite a few have never used such 
high-tech machinery before. Just 
remember to keep your eyes open 
for these wonderful new pieces of 
artwork. And, if you see one, 
don't be afraid to try it. It will 
save you all the trouble of having 
to throw your trash on the 
ground. (Sorry, they don't slice, 
dice, and make fabulous julienne 
fries. But, since we've ordered so 
many, we may receive a free 
bamboo steamer.)

Friday, October 3, 1986— THE CRUSADER— Page 7 



The past two weeks have prov- 
en to be very beneficial to the 
Susquehanna field hockey team. 
They have compiled a record of 
3-1. Things, however, started out 
slow, for the Lady Crusaders 
were beaten by the tough squad 
from Bloomsburg University. 



The play was quick, but too quick 
for the sticklers, who were unable 
to score against the aggressive 
Huskies. The result of the match: 
BU 3, SU 0. 

Homecoming weekend the 
Lady Crusaders defeated Lycom- 
ing 2-1. Junior Diane Meyers 



Support Group 



The Counseling Center is try- 
ing to assess student interest in 
forming a campus support group. 
Such a group would be composed 
of four or more students who 
have some identified common 
need. The group would meet one 
evening weekly for one to two 
hours. The purposes of the group 

are: (1) to give students a confi- 
dential setting in which to talk 
about the common concern; (2) to 
discover through one another's 
experiences that each is not com- 
pletely unique or alone; (3) to 
gain support from one another by 
learning positive approaches to 
"moving on." 

Dr. Fritz Kreisler, Director of 
Counseling, will lead the group's 
meetings, and will share any in- 
formation of relevance to the par- 
ticipants. 



Last year, a very successful 
group was conducted during 
Spring Semester. The Counseling 
Center would now like to know 
what student needs are at this 
time. Below are some sugges- 
tions. If you are interested in par- 
ticipating in any of these (or see a 
need for an other focus), please 
use the form to send your name 
and the topic of interest to the 
Counseling Center via campus 
mail by Oct. 10. All responses 
will be strictly confidential. If 
there appears to be sufficient in- 
terest for a group to form in an 
area you wanted, you will be con- 
tacted personally and an organi- 
zational meeting will be set up (so 
only return the form if you are 
actually interested in participat- 
ing). If you are not sure, but 
might be interested, please call 
the Counseling Center (4133) for 
additional information. 



scored early in the first half off a 
cross from M.J. McLaughlin, 
thus giving Susquehanna the 
lead. However, Lycoming broke 
through the defense and quickly 
tied up the score. Then late in the 
second half, Susquehanna, who 
dominated control of the game, 
struck again. Liz Kelly deflected 
the ball off the goalie pads into 
the goal. The Crusaders held off 
Lycoming for the remainder of 
the game. 

The the sticklers packed up 
their belongings and headed for 
Scranton for a game against the 
Royals. Midway through the first 
half, the Royals struck first. It 
wasn't until late in the second 
half that the Crusaders put it all 
together and tied up the match. 
Senior forward Felicia McCly- 
mont scored on a pass from link 
M.J. McLaughlin. When the fi- 
nal whistle blew, the score re- 
mained deadlocked at 1-1, which 
took the game into overtime. The 
two ten-minute overtime periods 
did not produce a winner, so the 



Crusaders left Scranton with nei- 
ther a win nor a loss. 

Last Saturday, the Lady Cru- 
saders again traveled to Scranton 
to battle against Marywood Col- 
lege. At first the team almost end- 
ed up in Doylestown because of 
an error in communications, but 
Coach Delbaugh convinced the 
driver to forego the football game 
and let the girls play field hockey. 
Diane Meyers was the first to 
score for SU off a beautiful pass 
from center halfback Susan Bail- 
ey. 'Way to go, Tate! As play 
continued, Marywood scored, 
which was soon to be followed by 
a goal from Felicia McClymont. 
Finally, sophomore Lizzy Daw- 
son clinched the game for Sus- 
quehanna by flicking the ball into 
the goal. Thus the sticklers de- 
feated Marywood 3-1. 

The Crusaders now stand at 
3-1-1 as they will face Western 
Maryland tomorrow on their 
home turf. So roll out of bed at 1 1 
a.m. and support SU field 
hockey!

and the facilities available. 

2. Priority will be determined 
by cumulative grade point av- 
erage. 

3. Any student with a cumula-

higher will be allowed to change 
to a major in Business Adminis- 
tration or Accounting subject 
only to hems 1 and 2 above.

Sports 

Crusaders Remain Unbeaten 



The Susquehanna University 
Crusaders used a strong defensive 
effort and a touchdown early in 
the third quarter to post a 7-0 vic- 
tory over the Aggies of Delaware 
Valley College in less than ade- 
quate weather conditions. 

In compiling the shutout, their 
first since the third game of the 
1983 season, the Orange and 
Maroon have won their first 
three games of the season for the 
first time since 1964. That year 
they won the first six contests en 
route to a 7-2 season. 

After a stagnant first half with 
the two teams combining for only 
1 1 4 yards of total offense, 1 00 by 
the Crusaders, and three first 
downs, Susquehanna took' the 
second half kickoff and marched 
72 yards on 12 plays for the only 
score of the day. 

Junior quarterback Todd Coo- 
lidge hooked up with split end Al 
Bucci for a nine-yard scoring 
aerial with 10:40 remaining in the 
third quarter. Randy Pozsar add- 
ed the conversion and the Cru- 
saders led 7-0. 



Meanwhile, Susquehanna's de- 
fense held the Aggies to only four 
first downs and 68 yards in total 
offense on the afternoon, with 
Delaware Valley's deepest pene- 
tration into SU territory being at 
the Crusaders 23 early in the con- 
test following an interception. 

Spearheading the defensive at- 
tack for the Orange and Maroon 
were Brian Quiggle, Trevor Hen- 
ry, Rich Close, Damian Caracci- 
olo and Chris Monico. 

Quiggle led the team with ele- 
ven tackles and one sack, while 
close and Henry were in on ten 
tackles apiece, with Close 
recovering a fumble forced by 
Henry. Caracciolo and Monico 
made nine and eight tackles, 
respectively, while holding the 
Aggies to only 45 yards on the 
ground. 

, The defensive secondary held 
Del Val to a paltry 23 yards 
through the air and got intercep- 
tions from Joe Azzarello and 
Dave Kells. 



Offensively, the Crusaders 
'piled 101 yards on the ground, 
led by junior fullback Kevin 
Gormley and sophomore half- 
back Joe Witt with 57 and 41 
yards, respectively. 

Coolidge completed 12 of 22 
passes for 122 yards and a 
touchdown, despite throwing 
four interceptions on the day. 
Tight end Andy Ford was Coo- 
lidge's main target, catching three 
passes for 47 yards, while Bucci 
hauled down two passes for 24 
yards and his third touchdown of 
the season. 

Senior split end Rob Sochovka 
moved into a tie for second place 
on the Susquehanna all-time re- 
ception yardage list with a six- 
teen-yard reception in the first 
half, giving him a total of 1077 
yards on his career at SU. 

Susquehanna, 3-0 overall, 2-0 
in the Middle Atlantic Confer- 
ence, are back home at Amos 
Alonzo Stagg field tomorrow as 
the Colonels of Wilkes College 
visit for a 2:30 p.m. MAC con- 
test.

Tough Week for Booters 



Inside linebacker Trevor Henry made 10 tackles, broke up 2 passes 
and caused a fumble in Susquehanna's 7-0 win over Delaware 
Valley. 



A quick update on the men's 
varsity soccer team. The Crusad- 
er booters traveled to York, 
Pennsylvania last Thursday after- 
noon to play their fourth oppo- 



nents this season. SU was defeat- 
ed 3-1 by the York squad, but not 
without a fight. In the first 
period, the Crusaders belted in 
the first point with a solo per- 
formance by Jay Copeland 25 



minutes into the game. However, 
York counterattacked with a goal 

by Eric Winkler, this tying the 
score at 1-1 at the half. York then 
pulled ahead in the second half 
with two goals put in with little 
playing time remaining. Sopho- 
more sensation Rob Ancipink 
was credited with 8 saves as 
goalie. 



Two days later, the Crusaders 
hosted King's College O" 'he SU 
grounds but found defeat once 
again. With six minutes remain- 
ing in the first half, King's scored 
to make it 1-0. Susquehanna's Bill 
Mueller, assisted by Mark Thor- 

sheim, then booted one in with 
just minutes remaining in the 
game, causing a tie. But the clock 



was not on the mighty Crusaders' 
side, for there was still enough 

time remaining for the Monarchs 
to kick in the winning point. 

Once again, Ancipink was guard- 
ing the net and tallied up four 
saves for the day. The Susque- 
hanna Crusaders ended their 
week of soccer with a standing 
record of 2-3-0.

SPORTS CORNER 



It's week number four of 
SPORTS CORNER, and it is 
time for our baseball playoff pre- 
view. Last week the playoff pic- 
ture developed into its final stage, 
as the Astros, Angels, and Red 
Sox joined the Mets in the play- 
offs. 

As I analyze the matchups, the 
Mets and Astros in the senior cir- 
cuit, and the Red Sox against the 
Angels in the American League, I 
see the key factor in each series to 
be the pitching. All four teams 
have outstanding starting staffs 
and good bullpens. 

In the AL opener on Oct. 8, 
Roger Clemens, the likely Cy 
Young Award winner, takes to 
the mound for Boston against 
California's Mike Witt. Red Sox 
lefty Bruce Hurst will face Kirk 
McCaskill and Dennis "Oil Can" 
Boyd gets the nod against Angel 
veteran Don Sutton in games two 
and three, respectively. 




Parent's Weekend is 
coming soon! Don't let your Mom be the only 

one without a mum!! 



Order your flower Mon Oct 6 thru Fri. Oct. 10: 
1030am- 1pm and 4pm-7pm outside of the caf 



Key players for the Red Sox 
with playoff experience are out- 
fielders Jim Rice and Dwight 
Evans, Don Baylor, Bill Buckner 
and Tom Seaver, who might not 
pitch due to an injured leg, but 
will still provide some leadership. 
Hot-hitting Wade Boggs and 
catcher Rich Gedman will also be 
looked to for offensive support. 

The Angels can rely on Mr. 
October himself, Reggie Jackson, 
along with veterans Bob Boone, 
Doug Decinces and Bobby Grich. 
However, the key to the Western 
Division champions' success will 
be rookie Wally Joyner, who has 
to drive in some runs if the An- 
gels are to win. 

Starting pitchers for the Na- 
tional League opener in Houston 
will be Mike Scott, who pitched a 
no-hitter to clinch the title, 
against hard-throwing Dwight 
Gooden of the Mets. 

Game two will match Houston 
fireballer Nolan Ryan against 
tricky southpaw Bob Ojeda, 
while back in New York for 
games three and four the Astros 
rely on Bob Knepper and Jim 
Deshaies as the Mets counter 
with Ron Darling and Sid Fer- 
nandez. 

The main factor in this series 
for Houston is for their pitching 
to keep Len Dykstra and Wally 
Backman, the Mets' one and two 
hitters, off base before the big 
guns of Keith Hernandez, Gary 
Carter and Darryl Strawberry 
some to the plate. 

Meanwhile, the Mets must 
control power-hitting rookie Glen 
Davis and speedy Bill Doran, and 
score at least three or four runs in 
each game if they want to beat 
the Astros. 

After reviewing all the factors 
in these matchups, I look for the 
Red Sox and the Mets to win 



their respective series in six 
games and meet in the fall classic. 

Now well take a quick look at 
the upcoming National Hockey 
League season. With all but five 
teams making the playoffs, it is 
not too hard to figure out who 
will make it, but here is how I see 
the teams finishing. 

In the Patrick Division, the 
Flyers will edge out the Washing- 
ton Capitals, with the Rangers 
continuing their success from last 
year's playoffs finishing third and 
the Islanders finishing fourth. 

The Adams Division is up for 
grabs with either Quebec or de- 
fending champion Montreal fin- 
ishing first and Hartford will gar- 
ner third place. Boston and Buf- 
falo will battle it out for the 
fourth and final playoff spot. 

In the Norris Division, the top 
three finishers will be Chicago, 
St. Louis and Minnesota, not nec- 
essarily in that order. Detroit 
should claim the other playoff 
spot over Toronto. 

Edmonton can all but be given 
the top spot in the Smythe Divi- 
sion, with Calgary finishing sec- 
ond. Winnipeg and Vancouver 
should capture the other two 
playoff spots. 

Answer to last week's trivia 
question: Vida Blue of the Oak- 
land A's. Told you it was a tricky 
one. 

This week's trivia question: 
Who was the last NL pitcher to 
lead the National League in wins, 
while compiling more complete 
games than victories? (Hint: He is 
still an active pitcher with an AL 
club.) 

In next week's SPORTS COR 
NER, we will discuss the instant 
replay rule in pro football and 
look at who is still hot in the 
NFL.

Annual SU Concert 



Clear your calendar for Nov. 8, 
1986 at 8 p.m. The Student Ac- 
tivities Committee has contracted 
John Cafferty and the Beaver 
Brown Band for Susquehanna's 
Annual Concert. 

This is going to be quite a con- 
cert! John Cafferty and the Beav- 
er Brown Band wrote and per- 
formed the music for the movie 
"Eddie and the Cruisers." Songs 
from the soundtrack album in- 
clude "On The Dark Side," 'Ten- 
der Years," and "Wild Summer 
Nights." Their second album, 
"Tough All Over," includes the 
hit "CITY." They have just 
completed a third album in Sep- 
tember. 

John Cafferty and the Beaver 
Brown Band formed 13 years ago 
in Narragansett, Rhode Island, a 
beach town across the bay from 
the ritzier resort of Newport. 
Five of the current members are 
original; one other joining 8 years 



ago. Their repertoire when they 
were touring the northeast in the 
band's early years consisted of 
fast-paced, high energy rock, and 
rhythm & blues tunes. They 
toured for nearly a decade before 
being offered to write and per- 
form music for "Eddie and the 
Cruisers." 

"Eddie and the Cruisers" is the 
story of a fictional rock legend 
playing timeless, '50's-influenced 
east coast rock & roll. The Stu- 
dent Activities Committee will be 
showing "Eddie and the Cruisers" 
in the Crusader Castle Snack Bar 
on Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 8 p.m. 
No admission will be charged. 

Preparations are in full swing 
by the Concert Committee, 
chaired by Jill Uhler, to make this 
the most successful concert Sus- 
quehanna has ever had. Tickets 
will be $7 for SU students and $8 
general admission, and will go on 
sale in the latter part of October.

Von Rosen to Visit SGA News 



Rudger von Rosen of the 
Duetsche Bundesbank in Frank- 
furt will be an Executive in 
Residence at the Sigmund Weis 
School of Business at Susque- 
hanna University during the 
week of Oct. 19, 1986. 



Dr. von Rosen is head of the 
press and information depart- 
ment and personal advisor to the 
Governor of the Deutsche Bun- 
desbank, which is the German 
equivalent of our Federal Re- 
serve Bank. 

This visit is made possible by a 
grant from the German Marshall 
Fund of the U.S., as part of a ma- 
jor effort to increase understand- 
ing between prominent Europe- 
ans and young Americans. The 
Fund believes that the emerging 
generation of leaders on both 
sides of the Atlantic has been 
handicapped by limited knowl- 
edge of the relationship between 
the two countries and inadequate 
firsthand experience. The Ger- 



man Marshall Fund was estab- 
lished in 1972 by a gift from the 
Federal Republic of Germany to 
commemorate American postwar 
assistance under the Marshall 
Plan. 



The German Marshall Fund 
Visiting Fellows are successful 
men and women from business, 
journalism, public service, and 
other professions who are placed 
on the campuses of small liberal 
arts colleges for a week of in- 
tensive dialogue with students 
and faculty. The Fellows are 
scheduled for formal presenta- 
tions in classrooms, on panels or 
public platforms, and informal 
encounters at meals, in student 
centers, clubs, dormitories, indi- 
vidual conferences, and social 
functions. This variety of sched- 
uling allows the Fellows to expli- 
cate their ideas fully, and pro- 
vides the opportunity for stu- 
dents and faculty to obtain a bet- 
ter understanding of the realities 
of global interdependence. 



The second Student Govern- 
ment meeting was held on Mon- 
day, Oct. 6, in Seibert Hall. With 
a majority of senators being pres- 
ent, the meeting began. Treasurer 
Doug Carlson reported that there 
was still over $30,000 left in the 
SGA treasury which with all oth- 
er income will be used for upcom- 
ing SGA and SAC events with 
the rest being allocated to clubs 
and organizations. 

Next, the various dorm reports 
were given. It was reported that 
lighting problems existed at both 
Aikens and Minidorm, causing 
security problems for some. At 
West there were reports of van- 
dalism which led to some discus- 
sion of tighter security. There 
was also some discussion on why 
fires are not permitted in the 
various fireplaces across campus. 
Dean of Students Dorothy 
Anderson explained this by say- 
ing that with the advent of high 
liability insurance it would be too 



expensive to have fires in the fire- 
places. 

Then, the committee chairmen 
gave their reports. Budget and Fi- 
nance chairman Doug Carlson re- 
ported that there has been over- 
spending by certain clubs of their 
resources. He and the committee 
will be meeting in the next couple 
of weeks to see what can be done. 
Public Relations chairperson 
Sarah Stone announced that her 
committee would be starting a 

"Senator of the Month" contest 
and also would be starting a 
newsletter to keep students in- 
formed of all SAG and SAC ac- 
tivities. 

Next, there was more discus- 
sion about the proposed non-alco- 
holic pub. Most of the reaction 
from the senators was very posi- 
tive, although there were con- 
cerns about the admission price. 
President James Faust said that 
the floor plan and more details 



would be known on Oct. 20. 
There was also lively discussion 
about the proposed decrease in 
reading days in December from 
two to one. Much of the reaction 
from the senators was negative 
with a few expressing the need 
for two days because many need 
both days to study or to just plain 
relax. 

In other business, the senate 
elected unanimously Bill Mueller 
as sophomore to the Student Ju- 
diciary Board. President Faust 
also announced that he, Doug 
Carlson, Kim Gorman, Kristin 
Meinig and Dean Anderson 
would attend the national SGA 
conference in St. Louis from Oct. 
9-11. 

Due to midterm examinations, 
the next SGA meeting will be 
held on Oct. 27 in Seibert Hall. If 
you have any problems or sugges- 
tions for SGA, please contact 
your senator.

BUSINESS-RELATED CLUBS 

Do you have an interest in the 
economy? This week my column 
is about two clubs that deal with 
the business world. Last week I 
attended meetings for the eco- 
nomics club and the marketing 
club. Both the president of the 
economics club, Brian Duff, and 
the marketing club president, 
Dave Ruckman, discussed the 
possibility of taking a trip second 
semester. The economics club is 
thinking of visiting the Federal 
Reserves in Washington, DC, 
while the marketing club is inter- 
ested in learning about the works 
of a marketing department in 
New York City. Another major 



issue discussed was that of speak- 
ers. The economics club already 
has Dr. Von Rosen coming to 
speak on Thursday, Oct. 23. The 
marketing club is hoping to have 
a speaker, who came three years 
ago, from the Miller Brewing 
Company. The advisors of both 
clubs, Mr. Seeley (economics 
club) and Mr. Ode (marketing 
club), were both interested in 
who the students wanted to hear 
and were willing to do as much as 
they could to get speakers. 

Project possibilities were men- 
tioned at both meetings. The eco- 
nomics club didn't have any con- 
crete ideas, but felt that the club 
needed an underlining purpose. 



Our Corner 



Good afternoon, folks. Is ev- 
eryone ready for the weekend? 
Yes, it is a stupid question. I must 
say I've had a busy week, with 
three tests and the awesome expe- 
rience of Billy Joel in concert in 
Philly all in one week. 

Enough about me, how about 
you, the SU personality? We 
have this idea about beginning a 
weekly feature on an outstanding 
SU person of the week. The per- 
son would be selected by the SU 
community by submitting a name 
to the paper, along with why you 
believe the person should be hon- 
ored. Anyone on campus could 
be selected. 

Reasons for selection could be 
superior performance in athletics 
or on the stage. It could be for 



academic recognition or for out- 
standing community service. Use 
your imagination and judgment. 

The person of the week may 
not even necessarily be restricted 
to one person. A group or organi- 
zation could be selected, such as 
the football team for being unde- 
feated or a project for a special 
program. 

This idea could be a good for- 
mat for getting recognition to the 
people who deserve it, but are of- 
ten overlooked. We will need 
your help to make this work, so 
let us hear your suggestions. 

Ill pick one close to home for 
this week. I think that the Public 
Information office is doing a re- 
markable job, as they are grossly 
understaffed and overworked.

Successor to The Susquehanna established in 1894, The Crusader is pub- 
lished by the students of Susquehanna University, Selinsgrove, Pa. 17870. 
Publication is weekly throughout the academic year except during holiday and 
examination periods. The Crusader office is located in the lower level of the 
Degenstein Campus Center. 

Copy deadline is Tuesday, 12 noon. The editorial board reserves the right to 
edit all material submitted for publication. Opinions expressed in guest editorials, 
letters, columns, and features are those of the authors and are not necessarily 
those of this newspaper. All materials submitted for publication become property 
of The Crusader 

The Crusader is affiliated with the Intercollegiate Press and it is represented 
in national advertising by CASS Student Advertising, Inc., 6330 Pulaski Road, 
Chicago, II. 60646. 



On the other hand, the marketing 
club hopes to take a research sur- 
vey. Plus, the idea of manufactur- 
ing a product along with the oper- 
ations management club, who al- 
so might attempt the sale of a 

product, was discussed. The at- 
tendance, as well as the enthusi- 
asm, was good at both meetings. 
The one difference between the 
two groups was that the econom- 
ics club members seem to show 
more interest in having some fun 
as well as getting some education 
in the field of economics. The 
marketing club is interested in re- 
affiliating itself with the Ameri- 
can Marketing Association. Mr. 
Ode felt that attendance should 
be mandatory when speakers 

come. The next economics meet- 
ing is Oct. 14. If you are interest- 
ed in joining the marketing club, 
contact Dave Ruckman, Tim Mc- 
Caffrey, Paul Christensen, or 
Brad Smedley.

BRINGING THINGS TO LIGHT 



Scott Deitch is holding down the 
fort until the new director of pub- 
lic information arrives, sometime 
in November. He is also still do- 
ing his job as sports information 
coordinator. George Tamke, who 
has officially retired, is still often 
found in the office, helping them 
stay afloat. The secretaries and 
the student staff are also doing 
their part to keep the information 
moving. 

Not many people realize the 
work that is done in public infor- 
mation. I know about it because I 
work with them in putting out 
this newspaper. I also appreciate 
the fact that when I go up to bug 
Scott for pictures or story ideas, 
he is willing to help, no matter 
how busy he is. In return, he 
knows that he can ask that we 
run a particular story because it is 
important for university rela- 
tions. This is the kind of team- 
work that makes the system 
work, and it makes our jobs 
much easier. 

So there we have Public Infor- 
mation as the "Person of the 
Week." Hopefully, we will have a 
regular column to do from now 
on. 
That's about all from here. 
• Have a good, safe weekend and 
I'll meet you back here next 
week.

Wednesday evenings at 7 
p.m. The Crusader will hold 
its weekly staff meeting. At 
these meetings the assign- 
ments of articles for the com- 
ing issues of the paper will be 
distributed. Also, people want- 
ing to help with layout, pro 
duction, photography, and 
typing of the paper are wel- 
come to attend the meeting. 
Anyone who is interested in 
writing for the paper or help 
ing out in any way should at- 
tend. The meeting will be held 
in The Crusader office located 
on the bottom floor of the 
Campus Center. 



Bringing Things to Light is 
a new column, written anony- 
mously by three "Susquehanna 
Friends" who care about the well- 
being of other members of the SU 
Community — from the visiting 
professor to the student teacher, 
from the maintenance worker to 
the executive staff. 

The purposes of this column 
are: 

1 . To bring personal and com- 
munal problems, concerns, 
questions, fears, topics or is- 
sues out of the dark. 

2. To bring solutions, options, 
creative ideas, win-win stra- 
tegies, assertive and caring 
attitudes into a greater light. 

3. To illuminate the possible 
meaning, challenge, and pos- 
itive aspects of the opportu- 
nity for growth we call con- 
flict or crisis. 

4. To highlight the paths of in- 
dividual expression, personal 
choice, and responsibility to 
self and others. 

5. To illuminate blind, narrow, 
devisive, short-term, quick- 
fix, dehumanizing strategies, 
and present alternatives. 

Each week we will select a 
topic based on letters sent to us. 
We will initiate a discussion, re- 
spond in some "light-bearing" 
manner, and/or invite you to send 
in positive comments, creative 
ideas, options, etc. 

Each of you is invited to sub- 
mit questions, concerns, proble- 
matic situations and options, 
ideas, possible solutions to:

You may write anonymously. 
Letters need not be signed. Confi- 
dentiality will be guaranteed if 
you choose to sign your name. 

What follows is an example of 



what we intend to do with this 
column. The first letter from 
"Doomed" is the kind of senti 
ment voiced by some people at 
Susquehanna. The second letter 
from "Survivor" is the story of 
others we know at Susquehanna. 
We invite you through this col- 
umn to voice your experience 
whether that be troubles, pains, 
concerns or your successes and 
strengths in response to the diffi- 
culties you have faced. 
Dear Lamplighters: 

I'm a person who, during the 
first weeks of school, was feeling 
great about SU. I really hit it off 
with my roommates and their 
friends. We got along great, ate 
together, had some classes in 
common, hung out. But this has 
changed recently. Suddenly this 
group has shut me out. They de- 
cided that I just don't fit in with 
them anymore: I'm not "their 
type of person." 

1 am crushed. 1 like these peo- 
ple. I want to hang around with 
them and 1 feel lost now. I'm 
alone a lot now. 

1 thought it would be nice here, 
but this is awful. What am I go- 
ing to do? 

"Doomed" 

To Whom It May Concern (espe 
daily "Doomed"): 

What you described happened 
to me when I transferred here my 
sophomore year. At first my so 
called "friends" thought I was 
cool because I was different 
(come from L.A., dress outrag 
eously). Well, the novelty wore 
off. Suddenly I was a nobody. 
Worse - undesirable. If I wasn't 
invisible, I was looking up their 
nostrils, if you know what 1 
mean. I had never felt so rejected 
or hurt in my life. 1 know what 
you mean by "crushed."

Sniglet? What's That? 




What do you call a word that 
doesn't appear in the dictionary, 
but should? Any regular viewer 
of the David Letterman Show 
will probably admit to knowing 
the answer. So would a fan of 
Saturday Night Live. The answer 
— "sniglets," of course. That's 
right, those words that best de- 
scribe an action, event or occur- 
rence that no other word in the 
English language can define, are 
called sniglets. Although many 
people are Tamiliar with the 
words classified as sniglets, most 
do not know where they origi- 
nated. 



A man with great imagination 
and a keen sense of humor, Rich 
Hall developed the idea of snig- 
lets as a teenager. He would con- 
stantly change the meaning of 
words to add variety to his 
comedy routine. Later, when he 
became a writer/performer for 
HBO's Not Necessarily The 
News, he entertained audiences 
across the country with these 
"unusual words." Hall also wrote 
for the Letterman Show and is 
currently working on Saturday 
Night Live. 



Why is the subject of sniglets 
being explored in this newspaper? 
Quite honestly, many people 
across the country refer to snig- 
lets in their everyday vocabulary. 
However, many people have nev- 
er watched the David Letterman 
Show or heard about sniglets, and 
it to this group that this informa- 
tion is projected. In a time when 
people are overly pessimistic 



about government, income, and 
more precisely their future, it is 
refreshing to find humor in some- 
thing that may be considered "in 
significant," but is entirely uplift 
ing. Here are three examples of 
sniglets: 

Greedling (verb): The act of pre- 
tending to read the inscription 
on the birthday card, when 
you really want to know how 
much the check is for. 



Buttnick (noun): The crevice on 
the ashtray where the cigarette 
rests. 



Telletiquette (noun): The polite 
distance kept by one person be- 
hind another at an automatic 
bank teller machine (so as not 
to be suspected of trying to 
glimpse at that person's secret 
code). 



There have been many situa- 
tions where things like the above 
words have signified something a 
person feels or thinks but is un- 
able to put into one word. 
Though these words cannot be 
used in an essay on Aristotle or 
when conferring with a professor, 
they are useful during those times 
when a person is at the right 
place at the right time. Humor 
like this adds to the habituality 
that people make for themselves, 
their jobs, and their lifestyles. Im 
agination is the only qualification 
for creating and using sniglets — 
they are a dictionary of words 
themselves.

It's Greek to Us 



THETA CHI 

Hello again, 

Not much to report this week 
from up here at Spudland. First 
of all, we would like to wish a 
happy birthday to Brother Rich 
Reiland, who turned 22 on Mon- 
day — you're almost over the 
hill. On the subject of birthdays, 
we had a combination birthday/ 
thank you party for our friends 
and brothers Murray and Ralph. 
Between dancing in the lounge, 
drumming with Dave, and "Jim 
Beam," you guys were out of con- 
trol! We just cannot wait to do it 
again — you guys are hell. Satur- 
day, after some of our brothers 
had a good time with ADPi, the 
night was generally uneventful, 
with the exception of Brother 
"Bobby" barricading the chapter 
room doors. Come on, "Bobby," 
let us party. 

On the intramural sports front, 
Theta Chi is still undefeated, and 
the House Rats... well, we're still 
practicing — wait till next year, 
guys. And, yes, another congrat- 
ulations to the Crusader Football 
team — Go get 'em, Jonesy. Our 
best of luck to the soccer team; 
remember, we're still behind you. 
Missing: Rick Thomas: 
A few quickies: 

The man on the hill finally 
reached his peak. 

Bently (you dog), give up your 
singing career. 

Ralph, Noah, and Scuba 
would really like to get into their 
room sometime. 

Pledges Dribbles and Gehl, 
remember "Children Of The 
Corn?" 

Pledge Rank, a weasel never 
wins. 

— Meme & Puck 
PHI MU DELTA 

Hiya! I hope everyone had a 
better week than I did, but try to 
top my weekend. 

Enough small talk, sincere con- 
gratulations go out to Michael 
McNelly and Steven Meaney, 
our newly-inducted Pledges. Oh, 
and by the way Meaner, could 
you stop thanking McCaffery. 

Before recapping last weekend, 
a few key points should be 
covered: 

Alumnus Chachi turned 47. 

Brother Barrick turned 18. 

Brother Yakimo has a young 
lady's voice. 

The Great Wall of China ex- 
tends 1500 miles between Mon- 
golia and China. It was construct- 
ed between 246 and 209 B.C. 

Doorman and his sons Aqua- 
man and Flash. 

Harry's Dolphins are horren- 
dous. 



The Uniformitarianism Prin- 
ciple states that the past is the key 
to the present. 

And now, finally, it's time for 
last weekend's events. To begin 
with, congratulations go out to 
the undefeated Crusader football 
team; but, Buck, was that really 
necessary? 

Brother Kahan's rugby team 
was also victorious, shutting out 
the opposition quick enough to 
get to the football game, or at 
least the adjoining baseball field. 

Brother Dooey's Giants abused 
the Cardinals, and the Cowsissies 
took a tumble, so you know what 
that means. Speaking of Mr. Sin- 
not, we all know he is engaged, 
and everyone got the chance to 
meet his fiancee last weekend, 
and Gooey was on his best beha- 
vior in her presence, even behind 
the bar. 

Another clutch event was the 
secured gathering of Little Sis- 
ters, thanks to all who attended. 
Prior to that, though, the scuba 
gear was out, because the bar 
slide was in; every Friday night 
had better not be like that. 

The illustrious Litey Award 
went to the King himself, the 
Light Man. A book could be writ- 
ten on the events leading up to 
this lofty recognition, but in sum- 
mary, two's a crowd. 

A final note before closing: 
thanks to all of the lovely Alpha 
Delta Pi Sisters who lugged Muds 
to the Hayride. Hey Rux, how 
about a pretzel? 

—Dude, bye 

SIGMA KAPPA 

Hi kids! Thanks to M.J., I had 
a wonderful week of rest — 
Thanks for the great article, 
"Scoops" McLaughlin! We have 
had another exciting week here at 
Camp Susquehanna — did 1 say 
camp? What a co-inky-dink! 
(don't asky, this week has been 
rough.) Some sisters went camp- 
ing this past Saturday at the Gray 
Squirrel Campsites and they had 
a blast. They played lots of games 
...but some things are better left 
unsaid. Suzanne and Nancy S. 
had a contest to see who could 
drop the most hotdogs into the 
fire and Stu cooked grilled cheese 
— we're still trying to figure that 
one out too. Wendy, what hap- 
pened to all the tents? We 
thought that putting them up was 
like playing with legos? How did 
you fit 15 people in a 6-person 
tent? Nothing like soggy tents 
and sleeping bags! Karen S. and 
company must have been soooo 
comfortable in the car — nothing 
like a horn in the side when you 




roll over. There were some casu- 
alties though, Big Bird was kid- 
napped by a pack of wild geese 
and taken south for the winter 
and Stu still hasn't been heard 
from, rumor has she's hiding out 
in Seibert — scary, isn't it? 

On to more serious things, we 
would like to extend a warm wel- 
come to Kathy Barttles, our 
Travelling Consultant. We hope 
she enjoys her stay with us — 
honest, we're not that off-the- 
wall. 

We would also like to thank 
everyone that came down to our 
Hawaii Open House; we hope 
you enjoyed it as much as we en- 
joyed having everyone down at 
the house. Please feel free to 
come down to the house any time 
you want to visit, you are always 
welcome. 

Right after the party we had a 
circle! Holly "the all American 
girl and Jeffrey wore his pin all 
day today" Whittaker was pinned 
to Jeffrey Dilks of Sigma Phi Ep- 
silon — congratulations to you 
both! 

Happy Birthdays go out to M. 
J. McLaughlin on the 10th, for 
the big "21" — face it, Emmers, if 
you get caught it's all over now. 
Belated wishes go to Sue Franchi 
(H.H.) who was finally and ir- 
recovably booted over to her 
twenty-second year of life — 
must be a bummer being over the 
hill. By the way, Sue does have 
the final P.S. scores; I'm almost 
positive that Patty K. won. 

My last parting words — If 
you didn't win the first time, you 
should have the sense enough not 
to challenge for two rematches... 

Till next week.. .(if I'm still here 
— yikes!) 

-Rabbit 
P.S. Hey dude — hear that? 

That's my skull! 
SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

I'd like to start this week off 
with a bit of a disclaimer: I'm 
sorry that certain people may 
have, do, and will find certain 
parts of past, present, and future 
Sig Ep articles quite "tactless." 
These people know who they are, 
and I'm truly sorry. Well, humble 
pie does not taste that good, even 
with all that extra cheese. 'Nuff 
said. 

Now on to last week's happen- 
ings. First, I'd like to wish Eric 
Tucker and Jeff Giaimo belated 
birthdays. I must say, you 
haven't wasted any time getting 
down to the Sub, Sam. What was 
that song you were singing to the 
barmaid, anyway? 

Friday night, we held a hat 
party which turned out to be one 
hell of a time for all who attend- 
ed. Especially my roommate, 
who got a new pillow out of the 
deal. We're still waiting for those 
demands, Vicki! 

Saturday was even better. We 
started the day with a CCR-BBQ 
with a few of our Alums and Lit- 
tle Sisters. We then went to 
witness a great football game. A 
few of us returned to start the 
evening off at a good pace. That 
night we inducted 28 new little 
sisters. It's good to have all of 
your participating. Later, the 
celebration got under way. We've 
got to stop having these closed 
parties, guys. Sat. nite saw many 



interesting things such as Chip 
dancing in his "Roos," and Craig 
being picked up off the floor 
many times. Patty, I owe you a 
couple of dunks. In a word, this 
weekend was bitchin'. 

Next weekend will be just as 
good if not better as the bros en- 
tertain the women of Sigma Kap- 
pa Saturday night: 

The Brothers would like to an- 
nounce the induction of three 
new pledges: Mark Bensel, Matt 
Karasch, and Mark Mattocks. 
Glad to have you guys on board. 
Remember.. .Pride Through Ex- 
cellence! 

So far this week many interest- 
ing things have been happening 
up here. Lee got beaten by a cer- 
tain little Rabbit; did you enjoy 
the experience, Lee? Hey, Steve, 
whose lap were you on Monday 
night? 

As for activities, well be 
watching the Sox lose and the 
Mets .win all week. Stop up. For 
you Bowlers, well be headed for 
522 next Wed night. Don't miss 
it. 

Well, that's about it for this 
week; tune, same Bat-time, same 
Bat-paper. 

—The Geisinger Gas Man

ture: "Sig Ep Senior Profile" 

...I ain't taking no prisoners. 

LAMBDA CHI ALPHA 

Well, it was another crazy 
weekend with many sick happen- 
ings. We'd like to thank ADPi for 
a great hayride and for allowing 
us to spend time with "Smooch" 
Curran. Also, we apologize for 
brother Ken Scala, who was just 
a little too tired to get up (poor 
Kenny didn't get his nap!). 

Congratuations go out to SU 
Football for a great game against 
Wilkes, good luck versus Widen- 
er. On a sour note, star receiver 
Al Bucci was caught dipping his 
hands in the "candy" jar. We 
hope charges won't be pressed. 

Sat. night proved to be a night 
of memorable events. Jeff "no- 
body's watching" Felt rudely in- 
terrupted movie watchers with a 
show of his own. Jeff was playing 
horseshoes. It's too bad so many 
brothers had to miss this by at- 
tending church latenight. 

We celebrated two birthdays 
this past week, Dave "Redbone" 
Cawthorne got a "redleash" from 
Anne Dodsworth and Steve 
"Snake" Ajello received a train 
set from Jenny. 

—Dave "Toy" Savino 
P.S. I hope everybody saw Joe 
Witt's impression of Ray 
Skursky behind the bar Sat- 
urday night. 
P.P.S. Torok, just because you 
had a good night, our bul- 
letin board isn't a trophy 
case. 
KAPPA DELTA 

Hi again! Everyone better have 
an 'enjoyable' weekend, because 
it's the last one before midterm 
weekend, so live it up! The KDs 
have been a bunch of busy girls 
this past week. 

First, thanks to Phi Mu Delta 
for the invitation last Sat. night. 
We all had a good time despite 
the monsoon, what a downpour! 
Thanks, Peg, Gail, and Nancy for 
the use of your apartment before- 



hand, some of us had a hard time 
leaving. Life about The Sub jams! 
More thanks go out to all who at- 
tended our luau on Thurs. We 
hope everyone had fun and met 
as many KDs as possible. We 
know we were looking forward to 
meeting all of you. 

Congrats to Sister Anne Dods- 
worth — she was lavaliered last 
Monday by Dave (finally)! Hap- 
py B-days to Sisters Lynda Butler 
and Michelle Vickers. We know 
you both enjoyed your birthday 
bashes, thoroughly. Right, girls? 

We are looking forward to to- 
night's faculty reception with Phi 
Sig. It's always fun getting to- 
gether with our "educators!" Oh! 
And I hope the "models" are 
ready for the fashion show with 
Feel Fine on Wed. Everyone 
should come out and see these 
covergirls at work! 

By the way Laur, Genesis was 
awesome! I can't believe we ran 
into Sue and Lisa on the train. I 
know you girls had a memorable 
time also, right? And Jeanne, you 
are the one who is outta hand! 

Congratulations to all of the 
Susquehanna sports teams! Espe- 
cially to those football players! 
Cool and Trevor, you are looking 
hot out there! The Best of Luck 
again this weekend. 

I'm sorry, Patti, contrary to 
your belief, the Seniors are get 
ting that luscious lobster dinner, 
not the sophomores, right, guys? 

Have a great weekend; remem- 
ber, Julie will be here next week. 
Love in AOT, 
— Scotty and Iggy 

P.S. Patti, I don't understand 
this bit about the scarecrow 
and the float, you'll have to 
fill us in. 

ZETA TAU ALPHA 

Another Friday is upon us and 
it's been a busy week for both me 
and the rest of my ZTA sisters. I 
would first like to thank all the 
girls who attended our "Zeta 
Scoop Party" open house. You 
girls were great and we'd love to 
have you come down and visit us 
again! We hope to see y'all at our 
ZTA Goldrush party next week! 

Now on to old business: for all 
the Zetas who attended the re- 
treat, it was great to spend the 
day with my sisters and really get 
to know each other again. Re- 
member, girls, Zeta is a lot more 
than just social events. 

A belated congrats goes out to 
sister Sara Walter for receiving 
the first B 2 (B squared) award! 
This award will go out to one sis- 
ter who experienced an "interest- 
ing weekend" above and beyond 
the call of duty, and, Sarah, it 
was a unanimous vote! Good 
Luck to next week's fortunate 
recipient! 

Another congrats goes out to 
those Incredible Crusaders who 
have won yet another game on 
their way to the MAC's. Keep it 
up, guys, and Good Luck against 
Widener on Sat. 

On a more personal note, the 
ZT As would like to thank Sig Ep 
for that wonderful wakeup call 
last week — We owe you one, 
and we don't get made, we get 
even (all in fun, guys). Well, Fri- 
day night seemed to be exciting 
for most of the sisters.

Reelin ' 



Marge Cook caught a very late 
episode of Phi Sig's own version 
of "Moonlighting," and I hear 
that there will be reruns this 
w-end! 

Deb Kopf, I could have sworn 
that you were the chairman in 
charge of Standards, and not 
chairman in charge of "FRED." 
If you wish to switch, I'm sure 
Bonnie Herb would be happy to. 
By the way, Bonnie, no one else 
reported any Dracula sightings. 
Just a reminder to the house, 
don't let strange men inside after 
dark! 

"Erica" was with us this past 
w-end, and she proved to have 
yet another fun-filled weekend at 
old SU. To Sharon Ward, if driv- 
ing school is a necessity, I think 
the house can wing it. Have you 
gotten out of first lately? And this 
week's record of trips to McDon- 
ald's was set by Kat "French 
Fries" Heller, only to break the 
record set by Deb "Coca-Cola" 
Kopf! Well, it's time to start the 
weekend.. .so I must be going! 

In Zeta love,

P.S. Only 32 weeks until gradua- 
tion! 

ALPHA DELTA PI 

Hi, everyone. I hope everyone 
had as great a week as we all did. 

First, congratulations to our 
very own Michelle Ballotta 
(that's two ll's and two tt's) and 
Chris "Topher" Lowe of Phi Mu 
Delta for becoming lavaliered last 
week. 

Congratulations once again to 
our undefeated football team, as 
well as cross-country and field 
hockey. You'll get them next 
week, soccer and volleyball! 

The hayride proved to be an 
exciting night for all, but some 
people were a little too excited. 
For example: 

1) Karen N. and Lynn G. got a 
little seasick from the hayride 
in the rain. 

2) We hear that Matt S. has a 
new theme song — "All Fall 
Down." 

3) Thanks to Boy Dave, King 
Cafeteria himself, for supply- 
ing the pretzels, even though 
he wouldn't share. (By the 
way, Dave, didn't your Mom 
ever teach you that it isn't 
nice to order pizza and run?) 

4) The award of most interesting 
couple goes to sister Kling and 
her date Ellen "where's the 
powder room?" Daley. 

5) Cheryl, you know that there 
are laws against public dis- 
plays of affection, no matter 
how long you've been going 
out! 

6) Don't worry, Sharon, next 
year well set Ken's clock 
ahead half an hour... 

Even after the hayride, we

Hey, Kristin, honestly, how 
small is an MG? 

I hear that Sonja and Dirty 
Sue were the star dancers at 
Lmda. When do you two go 
on "Dancin' on Air?" 

Well, enough about Satur-

We're all very proud of sis- 
ter Johanson for winning first 
place in the Solid Gold Dance 



Contest a few weeks ago. Way

Also congrats to Shirley 
Gaffney, who received a per- 
fect ten for her graceful nose 
dive. 

If anyone has an extra Julia 
Childs cookbook lying 
around, please send it to Sarah 
R. Even though the food 
was a little well done, the com-

To whoever keeps taking 
Diane H's yellow sweatshirt, 
returning it, and taking it 
again: Please make up your 
mind, Diane's going crazy! 

Karen "Esther Spray N'

PHI SIGMA KAPPA 

Greetings from the Ave. Last 
night (Mon. night), you may have 
caught a few of us selling hot 
dogs in your dorm. Look for us 
every Monday night, as last night 
was very successful. An apology 
goes out to all who were about to 
TOGA-DOWN with us this past 
Friday night... what with the LCB 
in town, we only wanted to save 
some hi-knees (yours and ours)... 
those guys can be worse than the 
Gestapo. But, I'm sure that it 
won't be long before you can 
wrap your favorite sheet around 
yourself, and TOGA...anyway, 
that very same evening, Tom 
"Darthead" Harrison convinced 
Matt "Democrat" Walker that he 
couldn't wrestle.. .Rob "Snoopy" 
Ancipink and I also took part in 
this Republican/Democrat "con- 
vention," and we trashed two 
rooms...sorry about the table, 
"Bozo." Phi Sig combined party- 
ing forces with A.D. on Saturday 
night, which was quite the fest. 
Dan Sweeny also dropped by for 
a psychedelic gig, complete with 
tie-dies. Our attic is clean. It was 
almost a DOA romp, as every- 
thing but everything went out the 
3rd story window. The ZTA girls 
in 401 had a sight to watch. ..it 
seems that you guys are constant- 
ly being entertained by us. ..and, 
it's free. Just cut this "VH at 8 in 
the morning garbage." Some 
smelly fog got into Denis "Bhud- 
da" Sansaveri's room on Sunday 
night. 

Sport Shorts: A-stinkin'-maz- 
ing Crusader football action on 
Sat. Great job by X-country, too, 
'specially to the runner who lost 
it on the track. Our intramural 
football team still stinks. 
"Snoopy" takes the "sportsman- 
of-the-week" award for his deci- 
sive goal-keeping actions. That's 
ok, Rob, I'd wanna beat up a per- 
son, too, if they stole the stuffed 
animal that shared my bed. 

"National? we smoked it. 
Dreyfus? We smoked it. IFC?..."

LOST GEMS 

Movies You Forgot Were On Videotape 
Every movie nut thanks God Stop Making Sense 



nightly for the invention of the 
VCR. Before then, we were de- 
pendent on cable television's spo- 
radic attempts at decent program- 
ming to satisfy our movie RDAs. 
I still preach that there is no sub- 
stitute for movie theatres, but if 
the local ones have let you down, 
plenty of top-notch films are 
available on videotape. This is a 
selection of movies which fizzled 
at the box office, but are finding 
new life in video stores. 

Eating Raoul 

Top of the list is "Eating Ra 
oul," a savage black comedy. It 
features Paul Bartel and Mary 
Waronov as the Blands, a 
straight-laced L.A. couple who 
want to open a restaurant. But 
how to finance it? Simple: they'll 
kill Swingers and clean out their 
wallets. This movie is a veritable 

shrine to 70's tastelessness; the 
Blands are seen as pioneers of the 
virtues of stuffiness, stilted sex- 
uality, and crooked commerce. It 
is American culture parboiled to 
its most pathetic, and therefore 
truest, nature; and it's killingly 
funny. 



There is no better concert film 
that "Stop Making Sense," which 
captures the visual as well as mu- 
sical brilliance of the Talking 
Heads. Director Jonathan Den- 
ime forsook the usual documen- 
tary approach to a concert film, 
and the result is stunning. The us- 
ual wall between view and film is 
gone; you feel like you're there. 
Head Head David Byrne is an 
added bonus — it's fascinating to 
watch him control an audience. 
And the music is great. 
Diva 

There are thrills galore in 
"Diva," a smashing French mys- 
tery in which an American opera 
star (Wilhelmina Wiggins Fer- 
nandez) turns Paris upside down 
at the drop of a C-note. Can't re- 
veal the plot, beyond saying that 
fast movies with style are a find, 
and you'll be glad you found this 
one. 
Creepshow 

I hate to do this, but I'm going 
to mention "Creepshow" as the 
best horror flick. Based on a 
string of Stephen King stories, 
the movie is most successful be- 
cause it treats his work for the 
pulp horror that it is. The movie 



panders, but sequences featuring 
Ted Danson and King himself are 
successful. Strangely enough, the 
movie's worst flaw is that there's 
not enough blood. 
The Way We Were 

If romances are your forte, I 
still have to recommend "The 
Way We Were." Redford and 
Streisand absolutely shine in this 
story of an affair doomed to hap- 
pen but doomed not to survive. 
As the combustive Gardners, the 
stars fashion fierce, oddly philos- 
ophical points of view for their 
roles. The viewer's tears run like 
rivers. What more could you ask 
from a romance? 
It Came From Hollywood! 

Finally, perhaps the ultimate 
VCR movie is about movies 
themselves. The makers of "It 
Came From Hollywood!" viewed 
thousands of reels to weed out 
the worst, I mean the Worst, 
scenes ever shot. They strung 
these scenes together, added Gil- 
da Radner and John Candy, and 
called it a movie. Actually, it's a 
Cuisinart version of "Bad Thea- 
tre," but the scenes and set-ups 
are so outrageously bad that 
you'll wanna watch it twice. And 
with a VCR, you can.

Notes from Above 



Keeping it Alive 



Dear Men and Women of Sus- 
quehanna: 

I was surprised by myself 
recently. 

I took one of my children to a 
store on the "Strip," Routes 1 1 
and 1 5, the other day. As I drove 
along, 1 was amazed at all the 
commerce and activity I saw, all 
the stores and people coming and 
going. It suddenly occurred to me 
that I had not been off campus 
for a week's time. My sense of the 
world had become limited; 1 had 
become so immersed in the world 
of Susquehanna that I had lost 
touch with' the larger world 
around me. 

How easy it is for us all to lose 
touch, with blacks and whites 
struggling against fear and injus- 
tice in South Africa, with the un 
employed in Pittsburgh, with 
those held captive in Beirut. In 
our frenzy to get our work done 
here, we circumscribe our exis- 
tence with the path which leads 
from our dorm to the library to 
the class to the next party. 

Can we expand the horizons of 



our activity to care about men 
and women and children beyond 
the limits of the Susquehanna 
Valley? Can we raise the level of 
our conversation to include issues 
and people in addition to those 
so familiar to us here in Selins- 
grove? 

How about following closely in 
the newspaper or on the Evening 
News about the life of the people 
in Nicaragua, South Africa, Leb- 
anon? How about a column in 
The Crusader which might take 
us beyond the news of frater- 
nities, sororities, athletic teams, 
and the faculty's concerns and re- 
mind us of the children of the 
Sudan, the reporters and news 
media people of Chile, and those 
caught in the destructive cycle of 
prison life in the Lewisburg Peni- 
tentiary? 

I feel diminished as a human 
being when my whole life centers 
around me and my little corner of 
the world. 

How about you? 

For the greater glory of God! 

Christopher ML Thomforde 
Chaplain to the University 



V. Behind the Scenes 

Just as the weather is starting 
to turn cold (finally!), the upcom- 
ing events on campus are begin- 
ning to take shape. There aren't 
any actual performances on cam- 
pus this week, but we thought 
we'd let you in on what's going 
on behind the scenes. Fasten 
your seatbelts for this journey 
(it's the law!). 

The "Guys and Dolls" cast has 
graduated from Ben Apple Thea- 
tre and is now holding rehearsals 
in Weber Chapel Auditorium 
where the show will be performed 
Oct. 24-26. The move was partic- 
ularly exciting for the freshmen, 
who are now finding themselves 
with tons-o-room to work with. 
We are anxiously awaiting the 
day when Todd Murray ("Sky 
Masterson") puts his script to 
rest. Tickets for "Guys and 
Dolls" are on sale now in the Box 
Office (located in the lobby of 
Weber Chapel). And guess what, 
kids? ADMISSION IS FREE 
WITH YOUR SU I.D. (We've 
been wanting to say that for a 
couple of articles now!) Buy your 
tickets now, because you don't 



want to fight some blue-haired 
old lady for a last row seat. But 
enough of "G & D" for now. Be- 
lieve me, there will be PLENTY 
said about the show in upcoming 
"Keeping It Alive" articles. 
Our new dean of the school of 
Fine Arts and Communications 
has come up with a new but old 
idea. "Aha!" you may say to 
yourself, "a paradox!" But let us 
explain. At many schools it is tra- 
ditional to host an Elizabethan 
Madrigal Dinner at Christmas- 
time. However, this is not the 
case at SU, and Dean Diers 
would like to change that. Al- 
though it is still in the planning 
stages, the Dean would like to see 
a dinner of this sort successfully 
produced at SU before the Christ- 
mas holiday. If you, or a group 
you are involved in, would like to 
help out with this, contact Dr. 
Diers. His office is in Heilman 
Hall. (Which is not to be con- 
fused with the Campus Center — 
university home of the office of 
Sir Lance Sadlek. Yes, the Queen 
did knight Lance years ago, but 
being the modest guy he is, you'd 



BE A US REGISTERED MALE 



have to drag this information out 
of him.) 

In other news Alpha Psi 
Omega (SU theatre honorary) has 
chosen its cast for the upcoming 
production of the farce "Black 
Comedy." Arts Alive would like 
to congratulate the small out tai 
ented cast: Tom Nolan (junior), 
Jennifer L. Miller (freshman), 
Bridget McKinley (sophomore — 
also co-author of this article!), 
John Waldron (freshman), Eric 

Diesel (freshman), Claudia Kuhn 
(senior), Wayne Pyle (junior), and 
Tom Dingbaum (freshman). Di 
rector Adam Bates has yet to re 
ceive the scripts to give to his 
cast, but is keeping them busy 
with numerous activities in prep 
aration for the show. 

So that's it for this week — ev- 
erybody's getting ready for some- 
thing. Always remember and 
never forget that Arts Alive In- 
formation Hotline: Ext. 3928. 
Keep that fan mail coming! Until 
next week, we be the arts!

& Bridget McKinley

SU STATISTICS 




Recently Registrar Alex Smith 
compiled statistics about the stu- 
dents enrolled at Susquehanna in 
a five-page packet. Included 
among his categories were enroll- 
ment figures, majors, states of 
residence and religious affiliation. 
Below is a brief overview of 
Smith's findings. 

There are approximately 1479 
full time students attending Sus- 
quehanna this year (this does not 
include exchange students or off- 
campus study programs). In addi- 
tion, 300 students make up the 
senior class (160 men and 140 
women). The junior class num- 
bers 321 (179 men and 142 wom- 
en) and the sophomore class to- t 
tals 346 students (177 men and

169 women). The class of 1990 
has an amazing 512 students — 
about 100 additional students 
than last year's class (they have 
239 men and 273 women). 

The five most popular majors 
this year are business, liberal arts, 
accounting, marketing and Eng 
lish. Close to 1 8% of SU students 
are majoring in business. Almost 
1 1 % of the students are special- 
izing in liberal arts and 7% are 
concentrating their efforts in ac- 
counting. Marketing ranks fourth 
highest of all majors with 5.2% 
of the students majoring in this 
subject. Finally, 4.7% of the stu- 
dents are pursuing careers in the 
field of English. 

Contrary to the SU opinion 
that more than half the students 
here are from New Jersey, only 
43% of the school population re- 
sides in that state. Pennsylvania 
falls slightly behind New Jersey 
with 40.8%. New York contrib- 
utes 7.8% of SU students and 
Connecticut is represented by 
3% of the school. Although less 
than 1% of the students come 
from each of the following states, 
there is a fairly wide geographical 

distribution: California, Colo 
rado, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, 
Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Ken- 
tucky, Massachusetts, Texas, the 
Virgin Islands and Wisconsin. 

Although Susquehanna is clas 
sifted as a Lutheran college, rec- 
ords show that only 18.7% of the 
school is Lutheran. Interestingly 
enough, about 41% of SU is Ro 

man Catholic. Presbyterians 
equate to 10.3% and United 
Methodists constitute 9%. Epis- 
copalians number 5.2% and 
there are less than 4% from each 
religion of students from Baptist, 
Jewish and Protestant back 
ground.

Light... continued from pg. 2 

At Christmas break 1 started 
looking at other schools to trans- 
fer out. Before I returned I met a 
guy, a grad. student at Stanford 
that, if you can believe it, was 
more outrageous than me. We hit 
it off great, and I ended up telling 
him about SU and why I wanted 
to transfer. He asked me what 
was so great about being in that 

group. All 1 could say was — 
belonging, having friends. When 
he asked me in what ways did the 
group limit me, boy did 1 come up 
with a long list. I couldn't believe 

I even tried to get back into the 
group. I guess I decided then that 
being who I am, being myself was 
just as important to me as having 



friends. So, 1 figured I needed to 
find others who were into being 
unique and into partying, friend- 
ship, hobbies, and stuff. 

My Mom and Dad gave me 
this long speech about everything 
1 have to offer friends, to a group, 
even to SU and "the East." It was 
like a G.D. eulogy. I almost lost 

my lunch, it was so "sweet." 
Really tho\ it made me think, 
and feel a whole lot better. So, 1 
agreed to try one more semester 
atSU. 

Well, I'm going to graduate in 
May. I joined 3 different organi- 
zations second semester, and got 
a new roommate. I've made quite 



a few new friends. We're sort of a 
group, on weekends. The nice 
thing is that I get different needs 

met by different people, or 
groups. And I have the chance to 
express who I am, and give some- 
thing to a lot more people. 

So anyway, my way may not 
be your way, but hey — you can 
survive being different, and SU's 
not a bad place to do it. I know it 

hurts, and it's not easy. Think 
about what's important to you, 
what you have to offer, and the 
pluses and minuses of the differ- 
ent groups on campus. And, good 
luck, man.

Sports 



On a Roll . . . 



It wasn't flashy, but the Sus- 
quehanna University football 
team upped their record to 4-0, 
3-0 in the Middle Atlantic Con- 
ference (MAC), with a strong 
24-3 win over the Colonels of 
Wilkes College. 

The Crusaders, who are off to 
their best start in twenty-two 
years, used a strong defensive ef- 
fort and a ball control offense to 
keep pace with undefeated Juni- 
ata at the top of the MAC stand- 
ings. 

The Orange and Maroon got 
on the scoreboard first, when 
halfback Joe Witt caught a Todd 
Coolidge pass and used great sec- 
ond effort to score from 15 yards 
out with 9:15 remaining in the 
first quarter. Witt's score capped 
a 5-play, 54-yard drive. Randy 
Pozsar added the extra point and 
Susquehanna led 7-0. 

The Colonels threatened to tie 
the score later in the first quarter, 
as they moved the ball deep into 
Crusader territory at the SU 8. 
However, strong safety Dave 
Kells stopped the drive when he 
intercepted a Brad Scarborough 
pass on the goal line, one of five 
interceptions on the day by the 
Susquehanna defense. 

Kicker Sean Meagley cut the 
Crusader lead to four when he 
booted a 25-yard field goal with 
12:34 left in the first half, making 
the score 7-3. The score was the 
first against the Crusader defense 
over a span of eighty-five and 
one-half minutes. 

Susquehanna took the second 
half kickoff and used a ball con- 
trol offense to march 55 yards on 
12 plays, culminating in a 
24-yard Pozsar field goal with 
9:28 remaining in the third quar- 
ter, to increase the Crusader lead 
to 10-3. 

The Orange and Maroon came 
right back to score following a 
Rich Close interception at the 
Wilkes 30. Three plays later, 



Coolidge hit Al Bucci with an 
18-yard touchdown pass with 
7: 1 9 to go in the third quarter. It 
was the fourth time this year that 
the two juniors have connected 
fqr a touchdown. Pozsar's PAT 
made the score 17-3. 

Senior halfback Kevin Weber, 
who has been the master of the 
big play this season, broke off 
right tackle and raced down the 
sideline for a 47-yard touchdown. 
Weber's run, his third touchdown, 
of the season, came with 12:22 
left in the game and gave SU a 
24-3 lead. 

The stingy Crusader defense al- 
lowed the Colonels only 194 
yards in total offense and forced 
seven turnovers on the after- 
noon. Leading the charge was 
Close, who along with his inter- 
ception made 10 tackles and re- 
covered a fumble en route to be- 
ing named MAC Defensive Play- 
er of the Week. Kells, who also 
had an interception and fumble 
recover, made 6 tackles. Joe Az- 
zarello, Tim Fitzgerald and Chris 
Donato also picked off passes for 
coach Rocky Rees' defense. 

On the offensive side of the 
ledger, Coolidge completed 14 of 
28 passes for 170 yards and two 
touchdowns, with Bucci and 
Weber each catching three passes 
for 39 and 42 yards, respectively. 
Fullback Kevin Gormley led the 
ground game with 67 yards on 18 
carries, while Weber added 58 
yards on only 4 carries. 

Senior split end Rob Sochovka 
moved into second place on the 
Susquehanna all-time reception 
yardage list with 1 106 after mak- 
ing a 13-yard catch in the second 
quarter. 

The Crusaders are back in ac- 
tion tomorrow at 1:30 p.m., when 
they travel to Chester, PA, to 
take on the 4-1 Pioneers of Wid- 
ener University in a key MAC 
battle.

Tryouts and practice for the 
1986-87 Lady Crusader women's 
basketball sauad will beein on 
Wednesday, Oct. 15, 1986 at 7:30 

p.m. in Hout's Gym. All SU fe-

the trainer, Rich Taddie, on the 
correct time and date that the

During the past few weeks, the 
Susquehanna cross country team 
has gone unseen to its home 
crowd. However, this past week- 
end was different. Oct. 4 was the 
day the SU harriers returned 
home to run in the first annual 
Susquehanna Invitational. 

Up to this point the team has 
gone undefeated and has accrued 
an outstanding record of 7-0 
against some excellent oppo- 
nents. After a disappointing end- 
ing to last year's season, the team 
was very apprehensive to the idea 
that they were again one of the 
top teams in the Middle Atlantic 
Conference. 



Last Saturday, all of the team's 
doubts disappeared, after defeat- 
ing two of the toughest teams 
they will face all year: Ursinus, 
who has always been consistent 
in the conference, and Salisbury 
State, who has always been 
ranked in the top three in our re- 



gional competition. This now sets 
the team's goals at regaining the 
MAC title they lost last year, and 
hopefully placing well enough at 
regionals to qualify for the na- 
tional cross country meet in 
November.

SPORTS CORNER 



It is week number five of 
SPORTS CORNER, and first of 
all I must apologize to all the 
Yankee fans for omitting Don 
Mattingly from my MVP picks. 
Granted Mattingly had an out- 
standing year hitting .352 with S3 
doubles, 31 home runs and 117 
RBIs, but I still think the sports 
writers will give the award to 
either Jim Rice or Roger 
Clemens. 

Now I want to discuss this ri- 
diculous situation involving the 
use of instant replays in the Na- 
tional Football League games. 
Too many teams have been pe- 
nalized, because somebody either 
misheard what the call should be, 
or the decision is made too late 
and another play has already 
been run. 

Two obvious examples of this 
happening occurred this past 
Sunday. In Kansas City, the offi- 
cial in the press box signaled 
down to the field that a pass, 
ruled complete for a Raider 
touchdown, was incomplete. 
However, the official on the field 
thought he heard "is complete,'' 
instead of "incomptete." This 
gave the Raiders their first score 



of the day, and changed the mo- 
mentum of the contest to the side 
of the Raiders, who were trailing 
17-0 before this play, and they 
went on to win, by a touchdown. 

Also, in Denver, a catch by 
Cowboy Tony Hill was overruled 
by the replay official who said the 
ball was trapped on the ground. 
The replay official is only sup- 
posed to overturn a call if there is 
irrefutable evidence. From 
watching the same two angles of 
the replay that the official saw, 
there is no question that it was a 
legal reception. 

It is obvious to everyone who 
follows the NFL that something 
has to be done to keep these 
events from occurring. I believe 
the best situation for everyone in- 
volved would be to adopt the 
same type of rule used in the 
now-defunct USFL. 

This rule would allow each 
head coach to protest one call per 
half if he feels it is wrong by tell- 
ing the official on the sideline. 
The official then throws a red 
flag on the field and the replay of- 
ficial has the final say on the mat- 
ter. If the play is overruled, the 
team will gain the results of the 
play and have another chance to 



protest a call. However, if the re- 
play official agrees with the offi- 
cials on the field, the coach ask 
ing for the replay will have a 
timeout charged against his team. 

Even if the NFL doesn't adopt 
this rule, something new must be 
done or just throw the entire sys- 
tem of using replays away. As 
Bob Trumpy said after the Kan- 
sas City-Raiders game, "My teen- 
age son can call Taiwan, but I 
don't understand why the NFL 
can't call 200 yards." 

Answer to last week's Trivia 
Question: Phil Niekro won 21 
games for the Atlanta Braves in 
1979, but he recorded 23 com- 
plete games in that season. 

This week's Trivia Question: 

Who is the only National League 
player to lead off a championship 
series by hitting a home run? 

Next week we will have our 
World Series preview, but only if 
the playoffs are over by Tuesday. 
If not, well talk about how our 
sports teams are doing and find 
some other interesting topics to 
talk about.

Dr. von Rosen, Executive in Residence 



The Executive in Residence 
Program of the Sigmund Weis 
School of Business will host Dr. 
Rudigen von Rosen of the 
Deutsche Bundesbank, Frank- 
furt, West Germany, during the

The EIR program, in its third 
year with Joan Remaley, assis- 
tant professor of accounting, as 
its director, is designed to provide 
students with the opportunity to 
meet informally with senior exec- 
utives to discuss the inner work- 
ings and philosophy of business 
while getting to know the execu- 
tives on a more personal level. 
The program also gives the exec-

eral Reserve in the United 
States), having its head office in 



Frankfurt. The bank has a main 
branch in each of the eleven fed- 
eral states, known as the Land 
Central Banks, and some 200 
branches and sub-branches. Dr. 
von Rosen will be the head of the 
Association of German Stock Ex- 
changes as of November. 

Von Rosen will meet informal- 
ly with students at tray meals in

All You Wanted to Know About Mono 



If your physician has just told 
you that you have developed 
"mono" (infectious mononucleo- 
sis), it probably means that you 
have a sore throat, fatigue, "swol- 
len glands" (enlarged lymph 
nodes in the neck and perhaps 
elsewhere), and changes in your 
blood. But one or more of these 
features may be absent, and in 
addition you may have a fever, a 
rash, an enlarged spleen (a lymph- 
oid organ which normally lies 
just under the left lower ribs), and 
even jaundice (yellowing of eyes 
and skin). Other abnormalities 
may occur in infectious mononu- 
cleosis, but are very rare. 

How long will you be sick? 
That's very unpredictable. Many 
People, about a third of all pa- 
tients at most colleges and univer- 
sities, never have to go to bed be- 
cause their infectious mononucle- 
osis, since it is so mild. Indeed, 
some people apparently have it 



and recover without knowing 
that they have had it. They may 
even be able to go about their us- 
ual activities, including athletics, 
because the only effects of the 
disease are some enlarged lymph 
nodes, the blood change, and per- 
haps minor sore throat and 
fatigue. 

If you do have so much fever, 
or sore throat, or fatigue, or other 
problems that you need to be in 
bed temporarily, good medical 
care should get you up and 
around within a few days to two 
weeks in most cases. Only in one 
or two cases out of a hundred will 
your physician need to confine 
you to bed, or even to bed and a 
chair, for more than two weeks 
because of persistent fever, jaun- 
dice or other severe manifesta- 
tions. 

The fatigue is another matter. 
How long you remain tired is 
very variable. A few people have 
little or no fatigue at any time. 



Others may be tired for many 
months. Most will be somewhat 
tired for one to four weeks fol- 
lowing the few days of fever at 
the beginning of their illness, 
gradually recovering their full 
strength and energy. Note that 
the fatigue is not the CAUSE of 
the infectious mononucleosis, but 
the RESULT of it. When a per- 
son becomes tired a few months 
after infectious mononucleosis, it 
is often impossible to decide 
whether it is due to the mononu- 
cleosis itself or to some other 
cause. Certainly, those who have 
tended to be tired off and on BE- 
FORE mononucleosis are not 
likely to be less tired AFTER- 
WARDS. 

The rate of recovery in mono- 
nucleosis is influenced by your 
psychological state. People who 
are strongly motivated to return 
to their usual activities and usual- 
ly put their obligations ahead of 
immediate gratifications recover 



more rapidly than others. Those 
with depressions are likely to re- 
cover more slowly than others. 

Activity as allowed doesn't 
slow your recovery. If you are as 
active as your physician permits 
and as your personal feelings of 
strength permit, then you'll prob- 
ably recover a little faster than if 
you "baby" yourself, staying in 
bed for a long time and allowing 
yourself to become weaker than 
is necessary. When your spleen is 
enlarged, you must be careful not 
to allow any blow to chest or ab- 
domen, for such blows may cause 
the spleen to rupture. 

Questions and Answers about 
Mono 

How does my physician know 
I have mono? 

He suspects it from the com- 
bination of complaints you have 
and what he finds on examining 
you (only 1% of patients with 



mononucleosis do not have en- 
larged glands which are readily 
felt in the neck as sizable bumps, 
for example). Then he confirms 
his suspicion by laboratory test. 
On the blood smear, a peculiar 
type of lymphocyte, the "atypical 
lymphocyte," is seen with some 
frequency. And the blood serum 
(the blood with the cells removed) 
agglutinates (clumps) the red 
blood cells of some other species, 
such as the horse, the sheep and 
the ox. This property is used in 
other tests for mononucleosis; the 
"heterophile" agglutination, the 
"monotest," and several other 
closely related tests. However, it 
may take a week or even longer 
after you develop fever before 
your laboratory tests become pos- 
itive; therefore, if your test is not 
positive at first and it still appears 
from your symptoms and find- 
ings that you may have mononu- 
cleosis, your physician may take

Big Brother Meese is Looking Out For You? 



Dear Editor: 

After watching the news for 
the past few weeks and reading 
several papers and magazines I 
have become rather angered 
about something that has been 
going on in our Federal govern- 
ment. Many of you have probab- 
ly heard of Attorney General Ed 
Meese's commission that recently 
completed its report on the ef- 
fects of pornography. The results 
of this report have met with 
mixed reactions across, the na- 

Our Corner 



tion. Some of the actions taken as 
a result of the Meese Commission 
range from the removal of Play- 
boy from the 7-Eleven store 
shelves to the pressuring of some 
bookstores to not sell such clas- 
sics as Shakespeare's Hamlet or 
George Orwell's 1984. Rock mu- 
sic and video rentals have also 
fallen prey to the effects of 
Meese's reports. 

Now let's set a few things 
straight here. Sure, I agree that 
some of those magazines are 



So here we are at mid-terms al- 
ready. Time is just a-flying by, 
that that's fine with me — the 
faster the better. By the way, on- 
ly 68 more shopping days left un- 
til Christmas. 

How many people are going to 
go home for the extended mid- 
term weekend, let's have a show 
of hands. Oh, yeah, I guess that 
doesn't work real well here. Well, 
anyway, let's just hope you don't 
try to call home instead. It may 
be faster to drive there than to 
wait for an outside line (if you 
live in upstate New York, it's 
about equal). 

Yes, it is time to complain 
about the phone system, or lack 
thereof. I tried to avoid it, but 
one can only take it for so long. 
My fiancee tried to call me the 
other night and after an hour of 
non-stop dialing, she gave up. I 
was lucky the other night because 
I got a line in only 20 min. 



This is an inconvenience in this 
case, but it could be deadly in 
other cases. Suppose there is an 
emergency of some sort and an 
ambulance is needed. It would be 
impossible to get rapid help. Yes, 
the pay phone could be used, but 
there are some obvious problems 
with this. 

Now, you all know I'm not one 
to complain. If you really know 
me, you know how laid-back and 
calm I am, especially in the face 
of frustration. If you don't know 
me, I'm lying, so on to the point. 
We are paying $40 per semester 
to have the service of a phone in 
the room. The question is, are we 
getting our money's worth? 

I think one indication is the 
number of times we have used 
the pay phone to call Papa's be- 
cause it was faster than waiting 
for a line. See, I'm paying for a 
phone so I don't have to use the

smut and some of that music is 
obnoxious. And, if I had any chil- 
dren, I probably wouldn't want 
them listening to some of that 
music or reading certain maga- 
zines. BUT, that is MY decision. 
What makes Meese, Falwell, and 
the Moral Majority think that 

they can decide that for me? 
Now, if someone should try to 
pressure me into reading the stuff 
that I call smut, or listening to 
music that I don't like, well, that's 
a different story. If no one can 



pay phone, or at least that's what 
I thought when I sent in my 
check. I would guess that others 
had the same idea. 
. We paid the first phone bill al- 
ready, but what do you say we 
only pay about half of the next 
one? This is a rough estimate of 
the amount of service we get. Ac- 
tually, I think that is a generous 
estimate. I suppose I could get in 
trouble for encouraging non-pay- 
ment of bills, so I'm not. Let's just 
say I suggested it in passing, an 
off-the-cuff remark, a little spit- 
balling, as it were. 

What can be done? How about 
a few letters sent along with the 
next phone bill? Maybe a phone 
call to the Telecommunications 
Manager. After all, wouldn't that 
be appropriate (assuming, of 
course, that you could get on the 
faculty/administration line)? 

On my side of it, we will try to 
get a story on why there is such a 
problem and if anything is being 
done to correct it. The one thing 
we shouldn't do is just let it slide. 
If we do, then things will never 
change. And not just with the 
phones, but in other areas where 
people will take it for granted 
that anything is good enough. 

Remember, we are paying for 
this service. I have not talked to 
anyone who is pleased with the 
situation. Do something about it. 
Be heard. 

Now let me fold up the soap 
box and wish you all a happy 
weekend. For those of you who 
are taking the extended weekend 
, plan, enjoy it while it lasts. Until 
next week, as Crocodile Dundee 
would say, no worries, mate.

tell me what I can listen to or 
read, then no one can tell me 
what not to listen to or read. 
There is a definite question of 
Constitutional rights involved 
here! I do recall it mentioning 
that somewhere in the Bill of 
Rights. 

The problem with these 
groups, the Moral Majority for 
example, is that they see some- 
thing that they don't like and use 
that as a focal point on which to 
blame things like the rising rate of 
violent crime. They don't look at 
more relative issues such as pov- 
erty and unemployment. They 
also refuse to investigate any in- 
formation that would be discred- 
iting to their own "glorious" opi- 
nions. Many times such people 
exaggerate figures in hopes of 
"scaring" people into believing 
that they are correct. 

I just feel that Meese and his 
"moral" buddies have over- 



stepped their bounds too much. 
Restricting sexual freedom in the 
bedroom is just outrageous! (I call 
to mind the recent Supreme 
Court decision on sodomy.) Be- 
lieve it or not, you now can be ar- 
rested on federal charges for 
"parking." What's next? Cameras 
in the bedroom? Blacklist those 
who rent Bo Derek's Bolero? I 
thought this was to be a presiden 
tial administration based on less- 
ening of governmental controls 
on the public, or is that just an- 
other lie? 

Incidentally, if anyone wishes 
to read more on the Meese deal, 
consult any issue of Playboy 
from Aug. to Oct. of 1986. I'm 
glad to see that so many people 
have expressed their disgust in 
certain publications such as Play 
boy. If they hadn't, I'm afraid 
that George Orwell's calendar 
may have only then been off by a 
few years.

Uprooted 



"Then he commanded, 
'Let the earth produce all 
kinds of plants, those that 
bear gain and those that 
bear fruit' — and it was 
done. So the earth pro- 
duced all kinds of plants, 
and God was pleased with 
what he saw." 

-Genesis 1:1 1-12, TEV 

That's a wonderful thought, 
isn't it? Just take a look around 
you on your journeys across cam- 
pus. You will see any number of 
trees, flowers, and bushes that 
make this campus beautiful. 

However, if you had walked 
with me to the Campus Center 
on Wednesday, Oct. 8, you 
would have seen a less than pret- 
ty sight. What you would have 
seen are plants scattered over a 
small area of real estate in front 
of the gazebo between Reed and 
the Campus Center. 



I will not even begin to guess 
who did it. That will only lead to 
unfair accusations. What I will 
do is just ask a very simple ques- 
tion: Why? Why were those 
plants uprooted? Those flowers 
looked healthy, too. Why were 
those healthy flowers so careless- 
ly uprooted? 

At this point in my writing this 
article, you must forgive me. 
Many thoughts are crowding my 
mind. It is difficult to think clear- 
ly. But for your sake and mine, I 
must think clearly. I have a point 
to make, so here I go. 

, First, God created those flow- 
ers for us to enjoy. How can the 
rest of us enjoy those flowers 
when they have been uprooted or 
there are broken stems lying on 
the ground? 

Second, those flowers were liv- 
ing things. Isn't it a shame that 
someone killed them? Unfortu- 
nately, there is no law against 
killing flowers. If I went out and

SPANISH CLUB MEETS 



El Club Espanol held its first 
meeting at the end of September 
and has started to plan the activi- 
ties for this semester. Anyone in- 
terested in joining should attend 
our next meeting on Thursday, 
Oct. 30 at 6:30 p.m. at the Inter- 
national House. 

Our first trip was to Penn State 
University on Thursday evening, 
Oct. 9, to hear the poetry of 
Federico Garcia Lorca performed 
by Estela Castro, Uruguay's lead- 
ing actress. We had a chance to 
chat with her in Spanish after the 
performance. 

Also, a reminder for all inter- 
ested Spanish students: there will 
be a second showing of two Span- 
ish films (with English subtitles) 
in the Film Center (lower level) of 
the Blough Library on Tuesday, 
Nov. 18 at 7D.m. 

During our next regular meet- 
ing of El Club Espanol, we will be 
making plans to prepare a typical 
Spanish meal to share together 
prior to attending the perfor- 
mance of "Evita" here at Weber 
Chapel on Nov. 21. 

Other plans include a trip to 
New York City to visit the His- 
panic Society Art Museum and to 
see a production in Spanish by El 
Reperatorio Espanol. 

All interested Spanish students 
are welcome at our next meeting. 



CRAVE CHOCOLATE? 

Susquehanna University's 
CSA, Clerical/Secretarial Associ- 
ation, will be sponsoring fund- 
raisers throughout the year to 
buy permanent, stainless steel 
coat hangers for the Weber 
Chapel Auditorium. 

The first fundraiser will be a 
sale of rich chocolate candy bars 
in six delicious flavors. 

Watch for the sale of these 
quality chocolate bars at the Par- 
ents' Weekend football game, and 
at the Campus Center Saturday 
afternoon, Oct. 25. You can 
stock up for Parents' Weekend, 
Halloween, and long study ses- 
sions and breaks, beat the choco- 
late craving, and support the Uni- 
versity and its cultural programs 
in the Weber Chapel Auditorium. 

If you have questions or orders 
for candy, you can contact any 
clerical staff member or the CSA 
officers: Ginny Sears in the Resi- 
dence Life Office, Betsy Henkel- 
man in the Registrar's Office, 
Martha Blessing in the Dean of 
Academic Services Office, or Gib- 
by Mease at the University 
Switchboard.

sale on Saturday, Oct. 25 from 
'1:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Anyone inter-

jne first floor of Fisher Science 
Hall. Prices range from 5* to 25*. 
Proceeds benefit Psi Chi. 



OPERATIONS MGT CLUB

All Susquehanna students are 
welcome. We plan to have meet- 
' ings bi-monthly in which we will 
discuss topics of Operations/Pro- 
duction Management and plan 
activities involving such topics. If 
you're uncertain about your ma- 
jor and think you might have an 
interest in seeing or learning 
about some manufacturing busi- 
nesses in operation, join us for 
our next meeting! (Next meeting 
will be announced in next week's

Here On Campus 



CROSSROADS 

Enthusiasm. Yes, if you want 
enthusiasm, then you might be 
interested in this project. Cross- 
roads, which has been at SU for 
six years, is a project concerned 
with junior and senior high 
school students that are involved 
with a church in either Selins- 
grove or Sunbury. 

The nine members of this proj- 
ect act as youth group advisors. 
One of their goals is to bring all 
their youth groups together as 
one. They were successful with 
this last Sunday when they held a 
volleyball game. 93 kids attended. 
The volleyball game began with 
devotions and ended with refresh- 
ments. 

Co-manager Ellen Berry told 
me that they also held a work- 
shop for the advisors of the 
churches to teach activities that 
might be helpful for the youth 
groups. Dianne Stedman noted 
that the project helps with Sun- 
day school and is a liaison bet- 
ween the college and the church 
members in order to gain a better 
understanding of the youths.

AAUW has foundation 
awards available for dissertation 
or post-doctoral research. Appli- 
cacation forms are available in

Orchestra Management Fel- 
lowship Program - The American 
Symphony Orchestra League is 
seeking qualified applicants for its 
fellowship program. The Fellow- 
ship begins May 1987 (deadline 
date for applications is Nov. 12,

ing seniors.

majors can apply directly — no

Independents Who Had Yearbook Pictures Taken 

A representative from Vantine Studios 

will be on campus Oct. 22, 23, and 24, 

in order for you to select the picture 

you want in the yearbook and to take 

your picture orders. The representative 

will be available each day from 

10 a.m.-2 p.m. and 3 p.m.-7 p.m. somewhere in 

the Campus Center. Be on the lookout for 

posters and a mailing giving the exact 

location and other important details. 




Other goals the project plans to 
obtain include the following: a 
strengthening of interdenomina- 
tional ties, better understanding 
of group members and the world 
at large, and setting an example 
of good attendance. 

Crossroads is planning an open 
house in the near future to allow 
anyone Interested in the project 
to get to know the members of 
the project and the project itself 
better. 

BIG SISTER/LITTLE SISTER 

Another project that deals 
with junior and senior high 
school students is the Big Sister/ 
Little Sister project. This project 
consists of SU women trying to 
help area students with their 
problems. These students, usually 
in their teens, are either in foster 
homes, on probation, or in alter- 
native education. 

Not all members have a little 
sister yet (for example, me), but 
those who do have their "littles" 
have been making an effort to 
know them better. Sometimes 
they (the SU students) find it dif- 
ficult to get to know these young- 
er students for one reason or 
another. Nonetheless, an effort is 
being made to build trust, to build 
confidence, and to learn more 
about the littles by the bigs. 

The Big Sister/Little Sister proj- 
ect is planning a Halloween party 
and has been thinking of other 
joint activities for the near fu- 
ture. It has been difficult to ar- 
range group activities for two rea- 
sons. First, to bring a group of 
11-14 year olds together is a chal- 
lenge in itself. The other is 
money. This project hopes to re- 
ceive money from SUN Council 
if their constitution passes. 

BIG BROTHER / LITTLE 
BROTHER 

The Big Sister/Little Sister proj- 
ect is also looking into bringing 
SU men into the scene and as- 
signing teenage boys to them. 
Thus, a new project, called Big 
Brother/Little Brother, would be 
formed. 

On a final note, I would like to 
apologize to Doctor Amaize for 
calling him Mr. Ode in my last 
column. This was brought to my 
attention by Dean Bellas.

It's Greek to Us 



SIGMA KAPPA 

Hi, Kids! Hope everyone is just 
dandy. I must say that we have 
been very busy. To begin with, 
we would like to welcome our 
two new pledges, Lisa Eisenhart 
and Jaime Forshey, to Sigma 
Kappa. Get ready for a lot of fun, 
hard work, and special time, girls! 
We better keep an eye on these 
guys; after wearing 'Rainbow 
Bright' sheets to the toga party 
last Friday you never know what 
they will do! 



Speaking of last weekend... Sat- 
urday afternoon, while Susque- 
hanna was winning at Widener 
(congratulations, guys — keep up 
the good work!), we were having 
a game of touch football down at 
the house with Sig Ep. We still 
don't know how many sisters are 
missing in action. Our ever illus- 
trious president volunteered to 
quarterback — but somewhere 
under the pile of bodies after the 
first sack came, 'But what am I 
supposed to do?' 



Saturday night we had a hop 
— oops, can't say that — anyway 
we had a great party with Lamb- 
da Chi Alpha. Once again, the 
Shuffle was done in rare form, it 
was 'mah-vo-las, dahling!' 
Lessons on the proper usage of 
the tool are forthcoming. We 
won't mention any names, will 
we, Susan Franchi and Beth 
Evans, about certain sisters' ten- 
dencies to find themselves on the 
floor, right? We really had a ter- 
rific time, guys, thanks! Let's do 
it again sometime! 



We hope that everyone had a 
great time at our first family 
night of this year. Oh, you don't 
know what that is? We just come 
down to the house and hang out 
and watch T.V. Anyone is wel- 
come, so if you are in the mood to 
watch the tele, come on down! 

I hope all the sisters are 
psyched for our picnic and mixer 
with Sigma Phi Epsilon; it prom- 
ises to be a good time for all! We 
are also looking forward to join- 
ing the rest of the Greeks for the 
Inter Fraternity Council picnic 
tomorrow afternoon. 

Just a thought to leave you all 
with: "Don't flatter yourself that 
friendship authorizes you to say 
disagreeable things to your inti- 
mates. The nearer you come into 
relation with a person, the more 
necessary do tact and courtesy 
become." 

Until next week... 

-Rabbit 

P.S. The Maiden Form woman; 
you'll never know where she 
will show up! 



ALPHA DELTA PI 

Due to the lack of extracurric- 
ular activities on campus this 
weekend, we are sorry to say that 
this column is seriously lacking 
any hard-core relevant literature. 

However, there are just a few 
things we would like to mention: 

Thanks to Theta Chi for 
Thursday night's graffiti party. 
We all learned what we really 
think of each other on Friday 
morning when we read our shirts! 
Thanks again, guys — we can't 
wait until next year! 




We're all looking forward to 
the Octoberfest (behind Lambda 
and Theta) this Saturday. Yes, 
the Blue and White competition 
will be in progress, so don't let 
your captains down! Let's all be 
there! 

Congrats once again to our 
great football team, keep it going, 
guys! Congrats also to the volley- 
ball team on their victory over 
Albright. 

Well, that's all for now! 

Seeya- 

Sheets, Balowda & Prissy 
PS Don't forget the BYO Bana- 
na party at the house on Sun- 
day! 

ZETA TAU ALPHA 

I hope everyone is having as 
excellent a Friday as I am, while I 
am just finishing packing for my 
4-day (midterm) weekend at that 
great institution they call home; 
where the VCR is always around 
and the refrig. is always full. On 
to business though. 

The Zeta women have been 
very busy with informal rush, 
and we would like to thank all the 
SU women who came by to our 
Zeta Gold Rush! A good time 
was had by all! Now, ZTA would 
like to congratulate our 8 new 
pledges: Katie Geoghan, Paula 
Long, Melanie Raffa, Diane Es 
ty, Tracy McKinnon, Dee Joyce, 
Tracy Lawrence, and Karen Hag- 
strom! May your pledgeship with 
ZTA be very special and memor- 
able! 

On Sunday, Oct. 12, Zeta cele- 
brated its 88th year of existence 
for Founder's Day. We were 
joined by our Harrisburg Alum- 
nae chapter, and participated in a 
ceremony and brunch at Sum- 
merdale Junction. Well, girls, 
next time well know to bring our 
rubber gloves and dish towels 
when we celebrate Founder's 
Day again! Val Hansen, can you 
write a check? 

For a corpse w-end, I hear that 
the ZTAs were quite the busy 
women. Phyllis flew off to Dallas 
(the one in Texas) to attend a 
Christmas party with ZTA 
Alumn Kris Pocaro, where she 
picked up this fabulous grass 
skirt! By the way, Phyl, where ex- 
actly is Tulsa?

PHI MU DELTA 

Happy Friday everyone; sorry 
about the drastic editing, but Mr. 
Rogers couldn't cut it. First of all, 
sports: Almost everyone is win- 
ning. Yes, the Giants destroyed 
the hapless Turkeys (i.e., Eagles), 
the pathetic Dolphs even won 
(against a loser team), the Mets 
are looking good, and the Crusad- 
er football team is 5-0; life 
couldn't be better. 

Brother Buckley took the 
plunge into lavalierdom with his 
squeeze Trish Ross. Whatever 
happened to "There'll be no lava- 
liering here"? I would put good 
money that Jammin' Jim Harris 
will be distributing his letters 
soon, also (sorry, Harry). 

Alumnus Chachi showed up, 
so we figured the Litey Award 
would be a lock, but that would 
be redundant; however, Mr. Sin- 
not joined an elite but unmen- 
tionable club too despicable for 
print, and the power of the pen 
designates him this undesirable 
prestige. Cosmo "Cosmosis" laca 
vazzi boycotted his weekly quote, 
but it should be noted that the 
forefathers of the squirrels on this 
campus were imported from Ohio 
— no kidding! And now some 
material that should be commit- 
ted to memory: 

The MNDC will be issuing 
fines, right, Ellen? 

The Sheriff is a... 

Alex, what's a spermicide? 

Lumpy's on kitchen duties. 

Joker, Joker, and a duper. 

Let's Go, Mets! 

Just relax, everything is prede- 
termined, anyhow. 

Hey, Buck, how about an 
XXXL tanktop? 

The capital of Nevada is Car- 
son City. 



Enough of that turtle dung and 
on to some worthwhile print. 
This Saturday, Phi Mu Delta will 
be out raising money for the 
Ronald McDonald House in 
Danville. Please help us help 
Ronald in this worthwhile cause. 

Moving right along, one group 
which cannot be overlooked is 
our Little Sisters. Needless to say, 
we are thrilled with you lovely 
young ladies. A fantastic group 
like yourselves demands to be 
noticed. And, yes, we are getting 
psyched for Halloween. 

Our neophytes are progressing 
at a rate that is surprising even 
Tim McCaffery, and we trust you 
will continue to prosper in the 
Pledge Program. 

Finally, before closing, one 
quick question. 

Q: What are you doing? 
A: I don't know. 

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

Welcome once again to this 
week's edition of Sig Ep's "It's 
Greek to Us." This past week was 
mighty interesting, so don't touch 
that dial. 

First off, the Brothers would 
like to congratulate Brother Jeff 
Dilks who pinned Sigma Kappa 
Sister Holly Whittaker a few 
weeks ago; please wish the happy 
couple lots of luck. 

Last weekend was sort of Ad- 
Lib social-wise since certain plans 
fell through. But what a weekend 
it was, the party down at 312 Fri- 
day night was hopping, well at 
least for 5 to 10 minutes. If you 
blinked, you missed it. Friday 
night also saw the disbanding of 
the "Grain Club" as all the found 
ing fathers did not survive. 

Saturday night we held a small 
social event at our house, which 
took place after the awesome 
spectacle between the "2" room- 
mates; our trophies are on the 
wall. 

After our sojourn to Slime (the 
lady behind the counter is so 
slow) Markets, a few of us 
stopped off at 310 for the night. 
Thanks for the use of the floor, 
girls. 

Sunday was our Fall Cleaning 
Day, and we got lots accom- 
plished, including finally getting 
some work out of Brother Ed 
Lopez.

As for future events, our Fall 
Semi-Formal is slated for Nov. 
15. Some brothers are still look- 
ing for dates. 

As for activities, the rest of Oc- 
tober has been planned. Next 
Wed. we will be going bowling up 
at 522. Our Second Annual Two- 
on-Two Basketball Tourney will 
be underway soon; get your 
teams to Ed Lopez. Remember, 
tonight is the Tie Party; be sure 
to stop up at 593 for a bitchin' 
time. Saturday night well be 
spending some time with our spe- 
cial little sisters. Also our RD will 
be visiting us in the near future.

PHI SIGMA KAPPA 

Greetings from the Ave. Com- 
ing down here from a weekend 
marked by absolute decadence. 
But more of that later...first off, 
111 acquaint you with our newly 
elected officers^ They are: Greg 
Yori, President; Mike Bendorf, 
Vice President; Mac Cobb, Trea- 
surer; Rob Ancipink, Secretary; 
Eric Lande, Inductor; Dennis 
Sansiveri, Sentinel; and John 
Fones, Social Chairman. Here's 
hoping that all jobs are carried 
out with as much pride and re- 
sponsibility as possible., oh geez. 
Last evening, ten brave (or men- 
tally retarded) women began their 
little sister pledge period. We'd 
like to thank Sharon for whipping 
their butts into gear. God bless 
them one and all. Speaking of 
pledging, how's it going there, 
Keith "Beef Baumann? Hey, 
Pete Shearer, how'd you arrange 
for that special food delivery after 
midnight? Friday night saw a 
bonus TOGA party...just remem- 
ber to keep them togas stapled, 
and keep the beers off the walls. 
Dog has had special training in 
fire drills. Chris "Lumpy" Pluta 
is still missing.. .but the phone 
hasn't rung off the hook in days. 
The three Pep Boys were up this 
weekend, and after a long ordeal 
of suicide, we abandoned one 
John Eagan at the Mall. I don't 
remember Theta that evening, 
either, but the Beast got us there. 
Now that Matt Walker has left 
my room, I think it's the appro- 
priate time to ask, Dana(Dana), 
do you know that Democrat 
spends more time with Dog than 
he does with you? Mac Cobb 
has expressed his point-of-view 
on the Summit Meeting. He felt 
that Ronny should have walked 
out AFTER pounding a 12-pack 
in front of Gorbachev. (And 
we're going to be tomorrow's 
kaders.) Thank you, KD, for a 
spiffy faculty party (thanks to the 
profs who attended as well. We 
haven't had a DOA (Destroy Old 
Appliances) romp in awhile.. .just 
to let you girls in 401 and 405 
know that we're still in that same 
immature frame of mind. Oh, 
according to the Dead Hotline, 
Jerry (Garcia) is recovering with 
his family, while living in moun- 
tains, playing guitar, and looking 
forward to a spring tour. That's 
about all from the home front.

KAPPA DELTA 

Bon jour! Comment cava? 
C'est un mauvais reve. J'espere 
que vous deviez une semaine 
meilleur que moi. La vie est diffi- 
cile! Je ne peux pa live cet article 
ecrit en francaise. Oh! Sorry, 
someone left the computer in the 
French mode. Hope everyone 
had a good week. Glad to see that 
no one was massacred this week- 
end. Maybe in another five years. 
We should have had a "Let's Get 
Slaughtered" party! Sick, I know. 
Speaking of parties, our faculty 
reception with Phi Sig was excel- 
lent! Beware: the Easter Bunny 
knows you stole his basket. Much 
thanks is due Lambda Brother 
Dougie "Fresh" Gable for help- 
ing two sisters find Shikellamy 
Overlook and State Park. And, 
Doug, did you enjoy your "sand- 
wich" dancing at Theta? 

If the task of fundraising some- 
how became a fair and just en- 
deavor, a certain blonde bomb- 
shell would enter the spotlight 
and be applauded for all her hard 
work. We appreciate all the hours 
everyone on the committee has 
given us. Sell those calories! We 
know of all the unseen work you 
do for us! We can't forget the 
winner of the limbo contest at 
our luau, either — Congrats, 
Shari Miller! It was nice to see so 
many people there. Hope you 
had as much fun as we did! 

Have a great weekend, every- 
one, and good luck with mid- 
terms. Much luck to the Crusad- 
ers on Sat. I'm sure you'll lead us 
to the playoffs! I'll be there! 
Sisters, hope to see y'all this 
weekend so we can "travel to the 
vineyards of the Lord" together

Blue Velvet 

Before the advent of John Car- 
penter's "Halloween" movies, the 
best horror films had all the meta- 
phoric psycho-sexual thrills of 
porno. After all, it isn't The Act 
that lures us in to see a porno 
movie; it's thinking about It. 
Likewise, horror movies used to 
trade not in blood but the idea of 
blood. The first director to recog- 
nize the horror movie's full po- 
tential was David Lean, who with 
"Eraserhead" created a horrify- 
ingly comic, philosophical splat- 
ter film. He's done it again. Lean 
has noticed that horror and por- 
no movies are cousins, and he has 
paired the two (so to speak) in 
"Blue Velvet." 

"Blue Velvet" takes place in 
the sleepy-creepy town of Lum- 
berton, a city so familiar it's 
frightening. Everything in Lum- 
berton is sharp-edged and crisp; 
roses aren't allowed to bloom if 
they aren't the deepest shade of 
crimson; white houses are paint- 
ed yearly to maintain their "nor- 
mal" color. Yet underneath this 
postcard-perfect exterior lurks a 
jungle, a jungle of crime and sin 
into which Jeffery Beaumont 
(Kyle MacLachlan) is drawn. 

Jeff is a painfully clean boy 
home from college. One day, 
while touring his spotless city, he 
discovers a severed human ear. 
Fascinated, he runs to the police. 
They dismiss him, and he decides 
to investigate the matter himself. 
He discovers that the police think 
a local torch singer, Dorothy Val- 
lens, is involved. 

Jeff looks up Vallens (Isabella 
Rossellini) in her seedy, once- 
fashionable apartment and, while 
hiding in the closet, watches her 
undress. She hears him and, at 
knife-point, makes him undress. 
Noise on landing. Jeff back in 
closet. Jeff, through closet doors, 
watching the sado-machochistic 
relationship of Vallens and the 
local crime boss (Dennis Hopper). 
Hopper leaves. Jeff bounds out of 
closet to help the bruised, bleed- 
ing Vallens. She wants no help; 
what she does want she gets by 
raping Jeff. 

Obviously, this is not a movie 
for the faint-hearted. It takes 
courage to confront the blackest 
parts of our personality, and

Lean has crafted this movie to 
stimulate just that confrontation. 
"Blue Velvet" is intentionally 
black-and-blue, with Lean's bi- 
zarre sense of humor jutting 
through. Jeff confronts his worst 
fantasies and discovers that they 
are his favorites. Unlike Lean, 
Jeff can't laugh about it. Yet. 

I had thought MacLachlan's 
career finished with "Dune," yet 
he gives a quiet, Oscar-worthy 
performance. Rossellini, who was 
so useless in last year's "White 
Nights," is a dream of a freak 
here; she slumps around in a fe- 
tishized blue velvet robe with as 
much aplomb as a young Joanne 
Woodward. Laura Dern, late 
from "Mask," is on hand as Ros- 
sellini's opposite, the Police 
Chiefs sunny daughter. She 
brings a growing-up-fast passion 
to her role. As Jeff discovers, it's 
a passion that Rossellini can't 
match. Dennis Hopper gives the 
movie a jolt whenever he's 
around — he's fascinating in the 
same way that a car wreck or a 
burning building is. 

Come to think of it, that's the 
ultimate strength of "Blue Vel- 
vet." The movie is by turns horri- 
fying, erotic, and hilarious. The 
three work together but some- 
times pull the whole thing apart 
(like the reunion scene between 
Vallens and her child). Lean 
seems to intimate that these 
scenes are as ubiquitous as that 
blue bathrobe, but the whole 
thing is too unsettling to absorb. 
If such an underworld flourishes 
in my community, I'd just as 
soon not know about it. Maybe 
I'm too much like Jeff. Maybe I 
want to keep that kind of thing to 
myself...

BRINGING THINGS TO LIGHT 



Dear Lamplighters: 

I enjoyed your column last 
week, and am happy to see a new 
idea in The Crusader. I write be- 
cause of something that hap- 
pened to me a few weeks ago, 
something that seems worth re- 
lating to you and the SU commu- 
nity. 

I was at a party in one of the 
dorms. Late in the evening, while 
1 was talking to a couple of my 
friends, another friend came over 
to join us. He told me that he'd 
heard that some remarks I'd 
made about a certain group on 
campus had gotten back to that 
group. He said they were upset 
about what I'd said, and that they 
might "do something about it." 
Naturally, this shook me up pret- 
ty badly, and I returned to my 
room, not exactly feeling like par- 
tying any longer. 



When I got there, I found a 
note, folded in half, with my 
name on the outside. It con- 
firmed what my friend had said at 
the party: this was apparently 
written by members of that 
group, and, without going into 
details, said that they knew what 
I was trying to do to their reputa- 
tion. It closed with the threat 
that, well, a part of my anatomy 
would be lawn cover. Needless to 
say, I got little sleep that night. 
Or the next, or the next. 

I talked to my buddies but they 
didn't know how they could help 
me. I'd occasionally walk past 
members of "that group" on my 
way to class, or see some of them 
in the caf, and they paid little at- 
tention to me other than what 
seemed to be icy stares. 

Nothing ensued. The threat 
was not carried out. Days, then 
weeks passed. I want to believe

this is not a problem for me any 
longer. I've certainly taken care 
not to ruffle that group's feathers, 
and perhaps they are satisfied 
that I showed no desire to esca- 
late this conflict. Perhaps the 
note and the talk to my friend 
was just the spouting of a drunk- 
en evening. I wanted to pass this 
incident on, however, because for 
a couple of weeks, life for me was 
not normal, to say the least. The 
threat was always on my mind. I 
knew this bunch was certainly 
capable of carrying out what 
they'd threatened, and I won- 
dered when it would happen. 
Sometimes I'd be scared and this 
would keep me from doing some 
things I'd wanted to do. Other 
times I'd feel furious at them for 
trying to intimidate me, and I was 
probably lucky not to have tried 
to fight with someone from the 
group when I was in one of these 
moods. My social and academic 
life has definitely suffered as a 
result. 

Like I said, hopefully this has 
all passed. I wanted to share this 
with you not to point fingers but 
to expose what have been "dark" 
days for me. Any advice? 

—Coining out from under 

Dear Cofu: 

Thanks for your letter. It pret- 
ty much speaks for itself. We are 
thankful that the threat was not 
carried out. Now that would

(continued from p. 1) 

repeated blood tests to try to find 
the evidence for mono. 

When may I kiss my girl (boy) 
friend? 

This disease may be con- 
tracted by kissing, but apparently 
only by kissing a carrier. Once 
you have developed active symp- 
toms, you do not appear to be 
contagious, in most cases at least. 
The proof for this is that patients 
who are married rarely if ever in- 
fect their spouses (but on the 
other hand multiple cases have 
occasionally been found to have 
been kissed by one person who 



have been dark, black through- 
out: injuries, perhaps; discipli- 
nary or even legal action; time 
from life missed for all involved. 
Even so, however, your days 
were plenty dark, with doubt and 

anger and fear. Days were also 
dark for the folks who wrote the 
threatening note, and for others 
who knew of the situation. The 
group members who threatened 
you felt like you'd attacked them, 
and responded to this with a 

wounded group pride. They no 
doubt worked themselves into an 
ugly frenzy that first night, and 
all sorts of things they'd rather 
have been doing were replaced by 
carrying out their "plot" to deliv- 
er the message to you via the note 
and rumors. Walking by, seeing 

you on campus, their concerns 
with schoolwork or dates or the 
football season were again re- 
placed by thoughts of you, per- 
haps still angry, perhaps wonder- 
ing whether to do more, or per- 
haps guilty about the note. As 
days passed, perhaps they dis- 
cussed you many times, trying to 
decide what they "needed" to do. 

Meanwhile, other people who 
knew about this were likely pre- 
occupied with it to some degree 
as well. The possibility of immi- 
nent violence breaking out affects 
all who know of it, arousing their 



did not have active symptoms). 

So it is safe for you to kiss as soon 
as you feel well enough. 

What causes infectious mono- 
nucleosis? 

The best guess at present is 
that it is caused by a virus called 
the Ebstein-Barr virus, which has 
been found in cases of infectious 
mononucleosis as well as in some 
other diseases. But it is possible 
that the E-B virus is just along for 
the ride, and not the cause of the 
disease at all, in which case some 
other virus or some other factor 
entirely is the cause. Since we do

curiousity, their desire to "be 
there when it happens," their 

concerns over what might hap 
pen to you or to the perpetrators 
as a result. It also reminds all who 
know of it that violence exists 
close by, is not as far from them 
as they'd wish. Some of your 
friends offered you advice to con- 
front those so-and-so's, others en- 
couraged you to report the threat 
to the Dean, others said that it 
didn't mean anything, that you 
should ignore it. For the minutes 
or hours that this was THE topic 
of thought or talk, a mood of 
fear, anger, revenge or confusion 
took over your lives. Dark days. 

So this answering letter really 
is for the whole community. How 
could all of this been handled dif- 
ferently, in a less dark fashion? 
There are so many aspects of this 
situation that deserve comment: 
how you attacked the group with 
what you said about them. ..their 

group pride. ..their carrying out 
an action that was seemingly pos- 
sible only with lubricated mutual 
encouragement... the icy silences 
from all parties as the days en- 
sued... how the matter was (was 
not!) resolved...Anyone out there 
have anything to add to this? 

Hoping for responses, 
—The Lamplighters 



not know exactly what causes the 

disease, it has not been possible to 
discover how the disease is trans- 
mitted from one person to anoth- 
er. There is some circumstantial 
evidence that there are carriers, 
people who are not sick them- 
selves but who harbor the causa 
tive agent, who can pass the dis- 
ease to other people by their 
saliva and perhaps by other 
means. Illnesses resembling infec 
tious mononucleosis have been 
caused by giving a patient's blood 
to someone else. 

How can my infectious mono 
nucleosis be cured? 

You'll get better from infec 
tious mononucleosis by yourself 
and without the help of any 
drugs. In a few cases, medicine 
may help you get well somewhat 
faster than time itself. Some cases 
of infectious mononucleosis are 
complicated by streptococcal in- 
fections in the throat ("strep 
throat") and on the tonsils, in 
which case penicillin or another 
antibiotic will be needed to rid 
you of the streptococci. 

When fever or severe sore 
throat is a problem, cortisone 
derivatives or ACTH may sup 
press the symptoms. They seem 
to help the fatigue of the disease 
little or not at all. These hor- 
mones, when given over a long 
time, occasionally cause side ef- 
fects, so they are not used 
routinely in infectious mononu- 
cleosis; your physician must de 
termine whether such a drug 
should be used. 

Do you suspect that you have 
mono? 

If the symptoms described 
here make you suspect you have 
mono, don't panic or make the 
decision yourself. Seek a diagno- 
sis through your student health 
service at 600 University Ave. 
374-9164.

SCHOLARS' DINNER 

Scholars, be sure to mark Fri- 
day, Oct. 24, 1986 on your calcn- 

[dar Because at 7:30 p.m. on that 

Light in Evert Dining Hall, you 
are going to be treated to the an- 
nual Scholars' Dinner, in honor 
of your achievements. 
The Scholars' Dinner is a year- 

|ly occasion, concurring with 
parents' Weekend, in which stu- 
dents are recognized for being 
deemed a "university scholar'' or 
for receiving awards within the 
various departments during the 
previous year. 

This year, Dr. Jack Holt, assis- 
tant professor of biology, is the 
featured speaker. His topic will be 
The Meaning of Honor." Dr. 
Holt won the Lindback Award 

[for excellence in teaching last 

[year. 

In addition to Dr. Holt's 
speech, a musical presentation is 
on the agenda. Featured will be 
Dr. Susan Hegberg, head of the 

I music department, on the harpsi- 
chord, and Mary Hannigan, flut- 
ist and part-time SU faculty mem- 
ber. 

To be named a University 
Scholar is similar to making the 
Dean's List. It requires maintain- 
ing a 3.25 or above cumulative 
GPA in all classes. There are cur- 
rently 128 scholars at Susquehan- 
na; therefore, including faculty 
and the scholars' parents, the ex- 
pected attendance for the 1986 
dinner is 300-400 people.

[would be murder. Think about 

[that: Someone murdered a 

[flower. 

Third, what did that flower 
[ever do to provoke someone to

[as small and defenseless as that 
[ever attacking students on their 
[way to and from their classes! 
[Did it look at one of us the wrong 
[way? I just do not know. 

Fourth, I do not think that any 
[one of us would appreciate some-

[and uprooting things and throw-

[treat God like that. It is a shame 
[that we, as students; do not have 
[any sense of respect for others'

As I say, I do not know who 
I killed those flowers, but you 
I know who you are. I have a few

[You killed one of God's crea-

[against the campus community. 
[Other acts of violence have in-

[student needs in order for her to 
I go from place to place around

[was the last straw. It is my fer-

Explore for Christmas 



Any sophomore or junior won- 
dering how to spend their Christ- 
mas vacation can consider an ex 
ternship in their major. EX- 
PLORE, the Susquehanna ex- 

ternship program, is a non-credit 
experience which involves spend- 
ing two weeks with a professional 
at his or her work site. 

The purpose of the program is 
to increase the awareness in a 
chosen career field. As stated by 
Pam Reiser, director of EX- 
PLORE, the program "provides 



the student with a job-shadowing 
experience." The externship is, in 
a sense, a "trial period" in which 

the student learns about a chosen 
major through on-the-job train- 
ing. 

The dates for the program are 
Monday, Dec. 29 until Friday, 
Jan. 9. (Dates may vary depend- 
ing on the length of the work 
site's Christmas vacation.) Dead- 
line for applications is Friday, 
Oct. 31. Application forms are 
available in the CDPC.

Sports 



Crusader Roll On 



The Susquehanna University 
football team scored 21 third- 
quarter points to remain unde- 
feated at 5-0, following a strong 
28-13 road victory over the Pio- 
neers of Widener University. 

Widener got on the scoreboard 
first with 8:43 left in the first 
quarter as Kim Harris scampered 
in from four yards out to cap an 
1 1 -play, 57-yard drive. Bob Feece 
added the PAT and the Pioneers 
led 7-0. 

The Crusaders took the ensu- 
ing kickoff and marched 92 yards 
on 18 plays over a span of nine 
minutes to knot the score at 7-7, 
when fullback Kevin Gormley, 
who rushed for 87 yards on the 
day, scored on a one-yard plunge. 
The key play on the drive was a 
Todd Coolidge pass to tight end 
Andy Ford for 28 yards on third 
down. Randy Pozsar's extra 
point tied the score at 7-7 with 
14:34 remaining in the first half. 

On the scoring drive, the offen- 
sive line of Jim McNulty, Mark 
Koskulitz, Pete Stoma, Tom 
Shoemaker and Glen Leary 
opened big holes for the running 
backs who gained 250 yards on 
the afternoon. 

After going to the locker room 
tied, the Crusaders took the lead 
for good with 8:39 remaining in 
the third quarter, when Kevin 
Weber, who totaled 93 yards on 
the ground, ran over three would- 
be tacklers on his way to a 48- 
yard touchdown run. Pozsar's 
kick gave the Orange and Ma- 
roon a 14-7 lead. Weber's touch- 
down run was his fourth of the 
season, and third of over 45 
yards. 

Following an interception by 
linebacker Trevor Henry deep in- 
side Widener territory, Susque- 
hanna marched 25 yards on three 
plays to increase its lead. The 
score came with 5:12 left in the 



third stanza, when Coolidge 
hooked up split end Al Bucci on a 
20-yard scoring aerial. Pozsar's 
conversion upped the Crusader 
lead to 21-7. 

On their next possession, the 
Orange and Maroon added to 
their lead when Coolidge hit Rob 
Sochovka in the back of the end 
zone for a 16-yard touchdown. 
The score came on the fifth play 
of a 76-yard drive with just 34 
seconds left in the third quarter. 
Pozsar's kick increased the SU 
lead to 28-7. . 

Meanwhile, during this third 
quarter offensive explosion, the 
defense was busy containing the 
Widener offense, holding them to 
only 158 yards in total offense 
and a measly 29 yards on the 
ground. This marked the third 
straight week the defense has 
held an opponent to under 200 
yards in total offense. 

Leading the defensive charge 
was middle guard Damian Carac- 
ciolo who made 12 tackles, 
caused a fumble, had two 
quarterback sacks and broke up a 
pass. Henry, along with his inter- 
ception, was in on 12 tackles, 
while strong safety Dave Kells 
came up with three sacks and a 
fumble recovery. 

Also aiding the Susquehanna 
defensive effort was Tim Fitzger- 
ald, who intercepted his second 
pass of the season, and Steve Cur- 
ran, who recovered a Pioneer 
fumble. . 

The Orange and Maroon are 
currently tied with the Indians of 
Juniata College at the top of the 
Middle Atlantic Conference 
standings. Both teams are sport- 
ing 4-0 marks in the league. 

Susquehanna is back in action 
on Saturday when they travel to 
Moravian College to take on the 
Greyhounds in another MAC 
contest starting at 2 p.m.

SPORTS CORNER 



Here we are for week number . 
six of SPORTS CORNER and 
unfortunately we can't bring you 
a World Series preview this week, 
thanks to Boston's Dave Hender- 
son and Houston's Mike Scott, 
who helped their teams remain 
alive in the playoffs. 

On another note, congratula- 
tions go out to coach Fore and 
her volleyball squad for posting 
their first victories of the season. 

My topic for this week has to 
do with the violence that is taking 
place in the NFL. I know it looks 
like I am picking on the NFL, but 
after seeing a play that occurred 
in Monday's Pittsburgh-Cincin- 
nati game I felt obligated to bring 
this issue out in the open. 

Late in the first half, Bengal 
quarterback Boomer Esiason 
completed a pass to second year 
running back Bill Johnson. John- 
son was stopped after a short gain 
by three Steelers who brought 
him down in a sitting position. As 
the play was being blown dead, 
Steeler Eric Williams jumps on 
the pile and forces Johnson to 
bend forward with about 400 
pounds on his back. 

No penalty was called, but 
Johnson had to be taken off the 
field on a stretcher with what 
looked to be a career-ending inju- 
ry. Fortunately, Johnson was not 
seriously injured, but Williams, in 



my mind, should be fined and 
suspended, yet he probably will 
not even get a fine. 

Another prime example of a 
player who should be fined and 
suspended for a few weeks is LA 
Raider defensive end Greg Town- 
send. In a game two weeks ago 
against Kansas City (you remem- 
ber the game, the one with the 
bad call on the instant replay we 
discussed last week), a fight broke 
out and Townsend starts ripping 
off the helmet of a Chief player 
who is defenseless on the ground 
and proceeded to pick up his foot 
and pound it down on the back of 
this guy's head. 

As if this wasn't enough for 
Mr. Townsend, he then went 
over to another Chief player and 
forcefully pulled off his helmet. 
After a review of the game films 
by the commissioner, Townsend 
was suspended, without pay, for 
last week's game against Seattle. 

However, on Friday the sus- 
pension was dropped and Town- 
send was allowed to play in the 
game versus Seattle. Now today I 
hear that the suspension has been 
reinvoked and Townsend must sit 
out Sunday's contest against Mi- 
ami. I'm glad to see him get at 
least some type of punishment for 
his action, but why was he per- 
mitted to play against Seattle? 

The thing I can't believe is that 



Townsend actually thinks that he 
wasn't wrong when he was asked 
about the suspension. He said 
something to this effect: "It's like 
I ran a red light and they took 
away my driver's license for a 
year." 

Is possibly ending a player's ca- 
reer by kicking him in the head 
the same as running a red light? 
He should feel lucky that the sus- 
pension is only for one game. 

All you have to do is take a 
look at all the serious injuries that 
have occurred in football over the 
past few years, and you'll see that 
players like Williams and Town 
send should be harshly repri 
manded for their tactics. 

On to the answer to last week's 
Trivia Question: Bob Dernier led 
off the 1984 National League 
Championship Series with a 
home run for the Cubs against 
thej'adres. 

This week's Trivia Question: 
What NFL record does Mark 
Mosley, the Redskin kicker who 
was released earlier this week, 
hold? 

So with the Mets and Angels 
leading their respective series 
three games to two as I type tl 
up, we will have our World Series 
preview next week, even though 
a few games will have already 
been played.

Arms Control: Bringing it home. 



Field Hockey Heads For Playoff Famil >' Therap 5' Workshop 



The Susquehanna University 
field hockey team earned a berth 
in the Middle Atlantic Confer- 
ence (MAC) playoffs with a 1-0 
win over Wilkes College Tues- 
day. 

The victory enabled the Cru- 
saders to clinch second place in 
the MAC-Northwest League 
with a 2-1-1 mark and pushed 
their overall record to 9-2- 1 , tying 
a school high for wins in a season, 
set two years ago. 

Head coach Connie 
Delbaugh's team will travel to 
MAC-Southwest League champi- 
on Franklin & Marshall College 
Monday in the conference quar- 
terfinals. Game time has not yet 
been decided. 

"It is a fantastic feeling to 
make the playoffs," said Del 
baugh. "The team has surprised 
me repeatedly with its ability to 
Pull together. If we can do that 
Monday, we have a chance to 
win." 

The only goal in Tuesday's 
match was scored by sophomore 
Liz Dawson. Dawson, a left in- 



ner, has netted two goals and 
added one assist. 

Leading Susquehanna in scor- 
ing is senior tri-captain Felicia 
McClymont who has seven goals 
and two assists for a total of 16 

points from her right inner posi- 
tion. She has a career total of 52 
points, leaving her just four short 
of tying the school record, set by 
Class of 1986 graduate Jean Fla- 
herty. 

The blanking of Wilkes was 
the Crusaders' seventh shutout of 
the year, also tying the school 
record in that category, which 
was set in 1984 and equaled last 
season. 

In goal for the entire season 
thus far has been freshman Patty 
Hostler who has stopped 100 
shots and allowed just seven 
goals for an excellent save per- 
centage of .935. 

"Patty is smart and has the 
temperament to work with the 
team and not get down on herself 
or the defense," noted Delbaugh. 
"She has the potential to be one 
of the best goalies in the MAC." 



Other defensive standouts for 
Delbaugh include another fresh- 
man, Cindy Cook, at sweeper, 

and junior center back Sue Bail- 
ey, who has two goals and two 
assists in addition to her defen- 
sive exploits. 

Susquehanna's other tri-cap- 
tains are seniors M.J. McLaugh- 
lin and Megan Moyer. McLaugh- 
lin, a right link, is second in scor- 
ing with two goals and three as- 
sists for seven points. Moyer, a 
left inner, has a pair of goals to 
her credit. 

Susquehanna has a chance to 
set the record for most wins and 
shutouts in a season when it con- 
cludes its regular campaign Satur- 
day at 1 1 a.m. against Marywood 
College, a team it defeated earlier 
this year, 3-1. 

Delbaugh is in her 1 1th season 
coaching the Crusader stickers 
and has a record of 51-56-12.

Keeping it Alive 



VII. Guys and Dolls Are Ready! 

Yes, it's that time of year 
again: "Parents' Weekend," you 
might call it. However, to those 
students involved in the fall musi- 
cal, this weekend takes on a 
whole new meaning. This past 
week the cast and crew of "Guys 
and Dolls" have put the finishng 
touches on this year's show. And 
it looks like it's going to be great! 

"Guys and Dolls" is a musical 
comedy based on the short stories 
of Damon Runyon. This is the 
story of two different worlds 

Our Corner . 



brought together on the streets of 
New York City because of a bet. 
Sarah Brown (Linda Smith) leads 
the Save A-Soul Mission in a cru- 
sade against gambling only to 
come in conflict with Sky Master- 
son (Todd Murray), who is the 
biggest gambler of them all. The 
plot also revolves around Nathan 
Detroit (Santo Garcia), a gambler 
who runs a floating crap game in 
NYC, and Miss Adelaide (Laurie 
Wilkinson), who is the leading 
dancer at The Hot Box. Their ro- 
mance consists of an engagement 



Good afternoon and welcome 
back to another edition of The 
Crusader. A special welcome goes 
out to all the parents and visiting 
high school students on campus 
this weekend. Honest, mom, we 
cleaned the room just yesterday. 
About last week's column: I 
got a call from the telecommuni- 
cations manager and he didn't 
sound too pleased. I have to meet 
with him tomorrow (I'm writing 
this on Tuesday), so it is past 
deadline. Ill try to squeeze some- 
thing in under the wire and let 
you know how it turns out. If 
you don't see anything in here, 
look for it next week. 

We have some ups and downs 
on campus. First, the ups: the 
pumpkin I assured everyone 
would be atop Heilman has as- 
sumed its position and is standing 
up well to nature. Also, the long- 
awaited trash cans have made 



their appearance. I think we can 
all breathe a little easier now that 
the anticipation has subsided. 

On the down side: where are 
the tennis nets? The season isn't 
over yet and it's just too easy a 
game without 'em. And now a 
real down — wait, this one de- 
serves a new paragraph. 

Vandalism, ladies and gentle- 
men. It stinks, and there is just 
too damned much of it around 
here. The hockey nets are a com- 
mon victim and that is a shame, 
because the nets aren't in any- 
body's way and the girls deserve 
better. The maintenance guys de- 
serve better, too. Why should 
they have to fix those nets every 
other day? Whoever the pre-pu- 
bescent juvenile delinquents are, 
would you mind doing a little 
growing up? 

The same goes for the people 
who find it necessary to do dam-

that has lasted for 14 years (and 
you girls think YOU have prob- 
lems!). For comic relief, those 
"Guy/Doll relationships" are ob- 
served through the eyes of Na- 
than's cronies, Nicely-Nicely 
Johnson (Wayne Pyle) and Ben- 
ny Southstreet (Kelly Dencker). 
Backing up Sarah is her under- 
standing grandfather Arvide Ab- 
ernathy (Adam Bates). Aside 
from their everyday problems, 
these characters must outwit Lt. 
Brannigan (John Yurusi), who is 
constantly in search of Nathan's 



age to parked cars, such as the 
bent windshield wiper a friend of 
mine now has. Didn't your moth- 
er ever teach you to keep your 
hands off things that don't belong 
to you? If your mom is here this 
weekend, ask her for a refresher 
course. 

Another mindless act was re- 
ferred to last week in a letter to 
the editor: the destruction of the 
flowers. The Arboretum project 
often experiences vandalism of 
this nature and it really is a 
shame. All they are trying to do is 
to add some beauty to the cam- 
pus. Even if you don't appreciate 
it, and 111 admit I often overlook 
such things, there is still no ex- 
cuse for ruining their work. 

How can this childish behavior 
be stopped? Probably not by a 
blistering editorial, and capital 
punishment may be a good idea, 
but it has some legal complica- 
tions. One thing that may work is 
simply community awareness of 
the problem and willingness to 
step in and tell someone to knock 
it off. 

Parents, most of your kids here 
are sensible adults and have re- 
spect for others. It is just a small 
number of jokers that spoil it for 
everyone. As long as you parents 
are on campus, could you do us 
all a favor and give Junior a little 
more parenting if you think he 
needs it? Much appreciated. 

Let's have a good weekend; be 
on our best behavior for mom 
and da4 Besides, next weekend is 
Halloween and you need to rest 
up because we all know how wild 
that weekend is going to be. See 
you here next week.

Wednesday evenings at 7 
p.m. The Crusader will hold 
its weekly staff meeting. At 
these meetings the assign- 
ments of articles for the com- 
ing issues of the paper will be 
distributed. Also, people want- 
ing to help with layout, pro- 
duction, photography, and 
typing of the paper are wel- 
come to attend the meeting. 
Anyone who is interested in 
writing for the paper or help- 
ing out in any way should at- 
tend. The meeting will be held

Campus Center. 



crap game, General Cartwright 
(Melissa Himmelreich), who is 
head of the mission organization 
and threatens to close it unless 
they get more business, and Big 
Jule (Dave Lisner), and out-of- 
town gambler who will not let the 
crap game end until he wins. To 
discover the outcome of these 
guys and dolls, come to the show 
— and bring Mom and Dad! 

"Guys and Dolls" will certainly 
keep your attention with great 
musical numbers including "Take 
Back Your Mink," "Luck Be A 
Lady," "Sit Down, You're Rock- 
in' the Boat," and, of course, 
"Guys and Dolls." 

We talked to some of the cast 
and got their reactions of the 
play. Laurie Wilkinson told us, 
"It's an educational experience, 
and I recommend that everyone 
try out for the musical because 
it's great fun." Adam Bates: "The 
singing is just so cool... we have 
great singers." What does Wayne 
Pyle like about the show? "The 
rollicking fun that the cast has 
during the dynamic chorus num- 
bers. And in the words of Damon 
Runyon, The strongest don't al- 
ways win the fight, the swiftest 
don't always win the race. But it's 
the way to bet.'" Thanks, 
Wayne. David Lisner said (in the 
words of Big Jule), "If you don't 
see it, you'll be eatin' lead!" We 
regret that we were unable to get 
a quote from Lance Sadlekof the 



Campus Center. This is unfortu 
nate because it has come to our 
attention that he was a close, per 
sonal friend of Damon Runyon. 
Yes, as a young lad, Lance left 
the evils of gambling to devote 
his life to following Runyon 
around. In fact, some critics 
claim that the character of Na 
than was based on Lance himself. 
And if you believe that, we have 
a slew of "Lance — man or 
myth?" stories to tell you! 

"Guys and Dolls" is special be 
cause it it the first student-per- 
formed production of the year. 
This cast hs worked hard for the 
past two months preparing this 
show, so support your peers and 
come to see it. Remeber, ADMIS- 
SION IS FREE WITH YOUR 
SU I.D.! And guess what? Arts 
Alive will be there selling soda 
during intermissions. In addition 
to tonight's performance at 8 
p.m., "Guys and Dolls" will also 
run Saturday at 3:30 p.m. and 8 
p.m., and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. 

Arts Alive is a group of busy 
individuals right now, but we are 
never too busy to give you infor- 
mation or advertise your event. 
We need two to three weeks' 
notice. Call us on our very own 
"Arts Alive Hotline" ext. 3928. 
Until next week, "Sit down, 
you're rockin' the boat!"

BRINGING THINGS TO LIGHT 



Dear Lamplighters: 

I'd like to say something about 
your letter to "Coming Out From 
Under." No one has threatened 
me, but as a bystander, I have 
seen it happen to others. It makes 
me wonder about some things. 

Why do people care so much 
what others think of them and 
are so easily influenced by this? It 
boggles my mind how a group 
can be threatened or hurt by a 
person's opinion, or even gossip, 
or even badmouthing. 

Also, I have noticed threats are 

usually made when everyone's 

trashed, at a party. So mdny of us 

drink to get trashed. Drinking is 

'OK, more for some people and 



less for others, I suppose. 1 don't 
understand why so many people 
drink as much as they can, as fast 
as they can, to get as drunk as 
they can. No one can really talk 
or act straight when they are that 
drunk. I guess being obnoxious is 
all that's left. 

Doesn't anyone know how to 
just talk? Without getting 
plowed, P.O.'d, or defensive? 1 
wonder if the person could have 
talked to the group; then the 
group could have talked to the 
person. Maybe we need a class in 
how to communicate — just ordi- 
nary talking without becoming 
Rambo or Pee Wee Herman.

LUNCH WITH DR. WEILER 

You are invited to the First 
Monthly Thursday Luncheon 
Forum on Oct. 30, 1 1:45 a.m. - 
12:30 p.m. in Private Dining 
Room -3 in the Campus Center. 
Our speaker is Lawrence Weiler, 
Professorial Lecturer, George 
Washington University. Mr. 
Weiler will speak on the topic, 
"Beyond the Reykjavik Summit." 

Mr. Weiler will be visiting cam- 
pus Oct. 28-30 under the auspices 
of The Arms Control Associa- 
tion, Washington, D.C. He re- 
cently returned from a trip to 
China. 

The format of our "Thursday 
Luncheon Forum" will be a visit- 
ing speaker's 15-20 minute talk 
by Mr. Weiler beginning at 1 1 :45 
- 11:50 a.m. followed by a 20- 
minute question-and-answer peri- 
od ending by 12:30 p.m. The Fo- 
rums will be open to all members 
of the Susquehanna University 
community and their guests. We 
would like to foster more dia- 
logue among students, faculty, 
and administrators as well as en- 
gage those attending in a broader 
consideration of current events 
and other issues. 

You may bring your tray, 
snack bar, or bag lunch to eat be- 
fore or after the forum. 

The Sponsorship of the Thurs- 
day Forum has not been formal- 
ized. The idea grew out of discus- 
sions in the faculty Seminar, in 
the Department of Philosophy 
and Religion, and in my conver- 
sations with the Department of 
Sociology as well as various indi- 
vidual students and faculty mem- 
bers. Our hope is that a Planning 
Committee can be formed in the 
next three weeks to work out a 
monthly program for these 
Thursday Luncheon Forums.

RUMORS UNFOUNDED 

The Student Life Office would 
like to respond to various ru- 
mors that a psychic on "The 
Tonight Show" had made cer- 
tain predictions which seem to 
involve SU. There was no psy- 
chic on "The Tonight Show." 
These rumors are a Halloween 
hoax. Similar rumors have 
surfaced in the past. Please be 
advised there is no need for 
concern or alarm. 




NOTES FROM 



Dear Men and Women of Sus 
quehanna: 

People are working hard and 
long up the hall from my office 
on the sets for the musical "Guys 
and Dolls." I can hear them 

pounding and planning and 
shouting. In the meantime, I sit 
here in my office wondering how 
many people who will be coming 
to the performances this weekend 

will appreciate the hard work, 
creativity, and energy which 
have gone into making it possible 
for other students to be the stars 
on stage. 

Behind-the-scenes work is so 
crucial to any performance for it 
allows others to use their gifts 
in ways which edify the commu- 
nity. 

I think next of Paula Fern, 
Assistant to President Joel Cun- 
ningham, who will be leaving her 
present position with the univer- 




sity as she and her husband Rick 
move to Harrisburg at the end of 
the month. Paula is one of those 
great "behind the scenes" people 
who are able to create a setting 
wherein the gifts and talents of 

others are able to be used for the 
building up of Susquehanna. 
Paula has done just about every 
thing from typing letters to plan 
ning meetings for the Board of 

Directors, to redecorating the 
Evert Dining Room, to helping 
1 furnish the room in West Hall 
where I lived last spring. I appre 
ciate her willingness to serve and 

the gracefulness with which she 
carries out her work. We have all 
been enabled to live in a richer 
way here at Susquehanna be- 
cause Paula has been working be 

hind the scenes on our behalf. I 
hope you will take a moment be- 
fore the month comes to a close 
to show your appreciation to this 
special member of our commu 
nity. 

For the Greater Glory of God!

It's Greek to Us 



KAPPA DELTA 

Whew! Midterms are over! 1 
hope everyone did well on them. 
For all those people who had no 
midterms, how was your extend- 
ed weekend vacation at home? 
The KDs didn't go home this 
weekend, because our PP was 
visiting. It went well though and 
once she left we could all breathe 
freely again. 

And now it's Parents' Week- 
end! Hi Mom! Hi Dad! We have 
something special planned for all 
our KD Moms this weekend. 
Good Luck to all the SU teams as 
they compete while their families 
watch. Let's see the football team 
continue their excellent record — 
you guys are romping this year! 

Well, what an Oktoberfest last 
Sat.! Who walked off with all the 
brownies anyway? It was great 
seeing all the SU Greeks getting 
together and enjoying them- 
selves. —I'd better not hear any- 
one say that there is no Greek 
Unity on this campus, because 
we certainly proved there is! 

Happy B-day to Sisters Beth 
Young (even though she didn't 
want anyone to know it was her 
b-day) and Michelle Vickers (oh, I 
thought today was the 21st). 

Thanks to Lambda for the 
Toga and Can Bash last Sat. nite. 
It was an excellent way to help 
the hungry and everyone had a 
blast. There was some difficulty 
finding sheets, but we looked 
super in our flowers and stripes. I 
hope everyone took advantage of 
our KD Pumpkin Sale and 
bought one to show some Hal- 
loween Spirit. Thanks to those 
who supported KD by buying 
pumpkins. And speaking of Hal- 
loween, start planning your cos- 
tumes for next Thurs., girls, 
cause it's time to get gnouling 
with Lambda. That's all, I guess. 
Enjoy Parents' Weekend! Go to 
the games and support SU! Go 
see your friends in "Guys and 
Dolls" and just have fun! 

With the spirit of the first four 
KDs on the day after our found- 
ing and with sisterly love and 
friendship. 

Love in AOT, 
-OPUS 



ALPHA DELTA PI 

For some reason or another, a 
few items were missing from last 
week's column ... So, here they 
are, a little late., 

To Sister DiBari: You really 
ought to brush up on your direc- 
tional skills, maybe that way 
you'll be able to find your shoes. 

To Sisters Susan Zabranski and 
Joanne Kling: You two are never 
again allowed to use permanent 
markers... 

Happy belated Birthdays to 
Alice Jeremko, Susie Bracken 
and Kathy Rave. 

Happy Birthday this week to 
Sally Nickey (and Pete, too!). 

Sisters Barb Cooke and 
Gretchen Dell have been listed as 
MIA. Any information on their 
whereabouts would be greatly ap- 
preciated! 

And now on to some more cur- 
rent news: 

The Octoberfest last Saturday 
was a fun time. Where did you 
guys buy that punch? For next 
time: The water from the hose 
doesn't mix the greatest 
Hawaiian Punch! It was great to 
see everyone together. 

The BYOBanana party on 
Sunday (no pun intended) was a 
success. The white team seems to 
be in the lead so far, let's get go- 
ing! 

Good luck to all the sports 
teams this Saturday! ADPi will 
be sponsoring a balloon lift-off at 
halftime this Saturday. The pro- 
ceeds will go to benefit the Ron- 
ald McDonald House. The bal- 
loon that goes the farthest will 
win a dinner for two at the Sus- 
quehanna Inn. Help us help the 
kids of the Ronald McD. House. 

Well, everyone have fun with 
Mom and Dad — see ya at the 
game.

before it happens)

Dirty Rob "picked lip" an-

Hi, Kids . . . three hours of 
sleep in three days and having the 
P.C. eat my article does not make 
me a happy camper. I had the 
whole article typed up and poof... 
shows you what a computer can 
do when it wants to. As for the 
sleep ... for some vague reason I 
think it has to do with studying, 
something about midterms? Par- 
ents' Weekend was scheduled at 
just the right time — so mommy 
and daddy can pamper us. 

We started the weekend off 
with some pre-study partying 
with the brothers of Sigma Phi 
Epsilon. First we had a picnic — 
all right, so it was a bit nippy out, 
but we had a great time. Then 
came the night. The guys decided 
we should have a party, yes, we 
did wear ties — perceptive little 
buggers, aren't you? The results 
for the most original tie are in. 
It's a tie! (No pun intended, hon- 
est.) Paula and Barb are the grand 
prize winners. They will be 
whisked away by bus for a scenic 
ride down 11-15 where they will 
stop off and have a delicious meal 
at your favorite restaurant and 
mine, Biff Burger! That's right, 
the place of culinary delights. 
There is one thing I would like to 
know . . . how did you two get the 
toilet paper tied without it rip- 
ping? Thanks for a great time, 
guys! 

Saturday afternoon was the 
IFC Greek picnic — hey, Boo- 
boo Bear, go get the pic-i-nic bas- 
ket so we can go party with all 
the Greeks! It was a great oppor- 
tunity for all the Greeks to get to- 
gether and hang out. A great big 
thank you goes to all the guys 
who worked so hard to put it all 
together. 

When we last left the dubious 
daring duo (our pledges, you nin- 
ny), they were studying diligently 
(all right, 1 may take literary li- 
cense a tiny bit too far). Unbe- 
knownst to them, their big sisters 
had stealthily snuck up on them 
and told them they were going 
for ... a ride. Blindfolded, their 
hearts racing, they contemplated 
their chances of survival. Sudden- 
ly, the car stopped for the mid- 
night rendezvous, the icy hand of 
fear gripped them when they real- 
ized that this was it. The sisters 
yelled PSYCH! Hope you had a 
good time, girls! Stay tuned for 
more fun times! 

Well, I can't think of anything 
else; oh wait, yes I can! While I 
sit here and type, the Field Hock- 
ey team is winning 1-0. If they 
win this game, then they go on to 
MAC's! Impressive stuff or 
what? We wish them good luck, 
and all of the rest of Susquehan- 
na's fine athletic teams. 

Just remember, "The measure 
of success is not whether you 
have a tough problem to deal 
with, but whether or not it's the 
same problem you had last year." 

Until next week . . . 

-Rabbit 

P.S. Mommy, get me a drink of 
water. 



SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

First off, I'd like to welcome 
our Regional Director to our 
humble home: PA Phi. He's the 
guy with the receding hairline 
and the "Power Tie," Eric Ealy. 
He's here to give us some new 
ideas, and he's been a great help 
so far. Hope you enjoy your stay. 

While I'm welcoming people, 
the brothers would like to greet 
all our parents that are visiting us 
this weekend. Also, we'd like to 
say "Hello" to the folks of our 
new "Golden Hearts" and those 
of our rushees. On that subject, 
we will be holding a reception at 
the house immediately following 
the football game to welcome the 
parents of rushees, pledges and 
Golden Hearts. 

If you've been wondering, 
we've changed the name of our 
wonderful little sisters to The 
Golden Hearts. Deservedly so, 
because you girls are such a won- 
derful group. We really enjoyed 
that afternoon of Ultimate Fris- 
bee and subs. 

Now ... on to the happenings 
of last weekend. Friday after- 
noon we held a BBQ with the sis- 
ters of Sigma Kappa. Thanks for 
cooking up a good time with us, 
girls. That evening we held a 
pre-'Hie party" with the same 
group of women who really know 
how to tie one on. (After 42 lines, 
that creative energy really starts 
to kick in.) But the good times 
were destined to end soon: for at 
the striking of 10 o'clock, the in- 
famous Rick passed through our 
doors. The now alumni-of-Juni- 
ata was still up to his old tricks, 
even bringing a few friends this 
time. Well, he finally broke down 
and, with the help of Chartreuse- 
an Monks, took a look out Tim 
and Lee's window. 



Saturday we held a lock-in 
with our Golden Hearts and 
watched the cheap BOSOX limp 
past our Mets in the first game of 
The Series. Alumni Sweigard and 
Babish finally lumbered in from 
Brother Mike Cox's wedding. 
Even the "snuggle-bunnies" 
stopped by. Everybody eventual- 
ly settled down to "The Fog," as I 
somehow (in my own fog) settled 
into someone else's bed. No real- 
ly, who did put me in there? Now 
you're probably asking, "What 
about Rick?" Well, he eventually 
settled down in the back seat of 
his car. 



As for this weekend . . . Are 
you feeling down because your 
parents did not come visit you? 
Well, come to our home away 
from home and attend our Or- 
phan Party Saturday night begin- 
ning at 10 p.m. Also, next 
Wednesday well be watching the 
horror flicks . . . probably some of 
my roommate's baby pictures. 
Get those teams for the 2-on-2 
Basketball in to Ed Lopez, and be 
on the lookout for Casino Night 
in the near future.

PHI MU DELTA 

First and foremost, let me ex- 
tend a sincere and loving wel- 
come to all the parents who are 
visiting this weekend. I hope you 

enjoy the weekend. The MUDS 
will be hosting the annual Par- 
ents' Day banquet out in Lewis- 
burg once again; everyone should 
get ready for a great time. 

The past weekend was a WIN- 
NER! Friday started off down- 
town on Orange St. where the on- 
ly casualties were our lamp and a 
short-sheeted bed. Thanks, Dig- 
by. Things then moved up to the 
MUDHOUSE for the party that 

was to end all parties. However, 
that's what they said about 
World War I, which was in turn 
followed by WWII. So, it only 
makes sense that Friday was fol- 
lowed by Saturday. Saturday 
started off bright and early when 
the fatkids, uh, Brothers, that is, 

set out to do good and collected 
over $600 for the Ronald Mc 
Donald House in Danville. 
Thanks to Rich Derrick and the 
generous people of the Selins- 
grove area for making this annual 
service project a record-setting 
success this year. 

The all-Greek Octoberfest was 
a blast for all who attended. 
Thanks to everyone who put up 
with me. Saturday night was the 
time for the MUD-SPUD (or is it 
SPUD-MUD?) Little Sister Party 

and what a time it was! Thanks 
to the band for a great job, the 
Brothers of Theta Chi for the use 
of their house, and the Little Sis- 
ters of both groups for just being 
you. 



Congrats go out to the gridiron 
Crusaders for another fantastic 
victory. The smell of nationals is 
in the air. We demand some rec- 
ognition! Do it again in a big way 
this week for the folks. The Jay 

Vee team is doing quite well also. 
They romped all over Blooms 
burg this past Monday. The final 
rugby game of the season is Sat- 
urday. Why not bring Mom to 
the Rugby Party afterwards? 

This week's Litey award goes 
to Berk and Buck for Dancin' on 
the Ceiling. DA A A AH! Honor 
able mention goes to Kevin Mc- 
Caffery for his performance at 
Theta last Thursday. Tim's tell- 
ing Mom! The Thousand Islands 

are a group of 1 500 islets in an 
expansion of the Upper St. Law- 
rence River, near Lake Ontario. 
Thank you, Cosmosis. In order 
for the Mets to win the series, all 
loyal fans, in addition to wearing 
the rally-cap, must watch the 
game in their underwear. Really. 



This has been a public service 
message from four-oh-slime, the 
house of weirdness. Watch 
yourself, Steimy. Just five min 
utes, Worm Your Honor, him 
and me . . . alone! 

Hasta Leugo,

LAMBDA CHI ALPHA 

Welcome back from a tough 
week of midterms. We don't have 
much news, but our front priority 
win be announcing the top 10 
most sensitive Lambda brothers. 
They are, in order: 1. Dickey "if 
Nanny Patterson lets me" Lynch; 
2. Steve "she only lives one block 
away but I'd rather talk on the 
phone" Curran; 3. Mark "milk 
and cookies" Thorsheim; 4. Rob

We would like to congratulate 
the SU football team in going 6-0 
and wish Jim "Moore" McNulty 
and J.C. Smith a speedy recovery. 

On a sad note, we would like to 
announce that Jay "I don't really 
like to fight" Rice has retired be- 
fore his next scheduled band this 
Saturday due to lack of fan sup- 
port. We would like to congrat- 
ulate Kent Bergey in his pre-en- 
gagement to an unknown ADPi 
who lives in a white apartment 
across from the church. And in 
closing, we would like to extend 
congrats to Carl Lechliter for re- 
ceiving two degrees from SU and

Peggy Sue Got Married 

Recent Francis Ford Coppolla 
movies such as "The Outsiders" 
and "Apocalypse Now" have 
tended to be choppy and too 
long. "Peggy Sue Got Married" 
remains no exception, but I 
hadn't counted on how entertain- 
ing a F.F.C. film would be for a 
change. Here's the premise: 
Peggy Sue Bodell, fresh from a 
difficult divorce, is dragged kick- 
ing and screaming to her 25th 
high school reunion. She encoun- 
ters snooty ex-friends, drunken 
ex-husbands, and a near-fatal 
heart attack in one evening. She 
passes out. She wakes up at her 
high school, in 1960. The ques- 
tions arise: knowing then what 
she knows now, will Peggy Sue 
still marry the same guy? Will she 
tell her folks she loves them more 
often? Will she treat her sister 
better? This philosophical slant 
gives ."Peggy Sue" an edge: we all 
wonder what we would change if 
we could go back, and Peggy gets 
the chance. Her solutions to ev- 
eryday problems leave us cheer- 
ing: Peggy confronts her algebra 
teacher with, "I have no need in 

THETA CHI 

It's now 3:30, this article is due 
at four, and I sit here wondering 
how am I going to cram a week 
full of events into a half hour of 
writing. So today I drafted two 
new assistants to aid me in my 
task; now I'll turn the show over 
to Dino and Hawk — take it 
away, fellas. Dino, pass me a 
green bottle. 

This week in camping, every- 
one ate and enjoyed their veggies, 
except for Stone — he experi- 
enced them twice. "Twinkle 
Toes" McCoe, if we're all weird, 
why are you the one who can't 
find your stick? The crayfish 
proved to be hours of enjoyment 
for our wilderness brothers. And 
to Brother Marc Wiseman, don't 
worry, nobody could tell. 

As for the weekend at Spud- 
land, Saturday night was the 
highlight. The campus band "An- 
them" performed before a stand- 
ing-room-only crowd of Spuds, 
Spudettes, Muds, and Mudettes. 
Steve "Spent" Kennedy received 
the ovation of the night. This par- 
ty was too good to be a one-time 
affair; can't wait to do it again. 

This weekend also ushered in 
the start of duck season; if you 
see Brother Dave Russell, give 
him a big hello. 

Ralph Ha vice (that's Hamhead 
to you and me) can thank Paul 
Brady for the Great Coconut 
Custard Pie in the face. 

Theta Chi is now the only un- 
defeated team in intramural foot- 
ball with only two games remain- 
ing — take it all the way. Also, 
guys, remember golf season is 
coming to a close; hit those links 
as soon as possible. 

The first floor experienced 
minor flooding problems this 
weekend. Jim Hampsher was 
right there with his board. 

My half hour is now drawing 
to an end, so, Hawk, I need an- 
other green bottle. 

Until next week, 

— Meme, Dino, & Hawk 

P.S. Thanks goes out to ADPi for 
that great party last week- 
end. We had an awesome 
time, girls. 



my life for algebra, and 1 speak 
from experience." Rah, Peggy 
Sue! 

Screenwriters Jerry Leichting 
and Arlene Sarner have noticed 
that science and religion are cous- 
ins: Peggy Sue's quandary be- 
comes a lesson from God. The 

best science fiction is metaphoric 
(witness the success of "Star 
Trek"): God Himself finally puts 
in a cameo, and Peggy Sue dis- 
covers what the whole escapade's 

been about. We make our choices 
and have to live with them; but 
there's nothing that can't be 
saved. "Peggy Sue" is an unset- 
tling film. It intimates that we are 
held accountable for our pasts. 
So, does everyone get a second 
chance like Peggy? 

Only if they die. Think about 
it. 

Weird Science 

Every summer John Hughes 
seems moribund to churn out a 
clinker, and in 1985 it was 
"Weird Science." This movie is 
saved only by Kelly LeBrock's fi- 
nesse at playing an omnipotent 
computer fantasy brought to life 
by two deviants (Anthony Mi- 
chael Hall, Uan Mitchell-Smith) 

who are obsessed with sex gener- 
ally, breasts specifically. Their 
creation can do anything, but she 
can't conjure a script that's much 
more than a below-average party 
movie. The novelty wears off 



quickly and boredom, that cardi- 
nal movie sin, just as quickly re- 
places it. "Weird Science" is the 
movie that will in the future 
cause John Hughes to hang his 
head in shame, even as we lower 
ours to snore. 

Howard the Duck 

"Howard" is due on videotape 
by Christmas, and I've been 
asked by several people to report 
it as "the dumbest movie ever 
made." I wouldn't go quite that 
far, but it's a bomb nonetheless. 
"Howard" doesn't work on any 
level — satire, camp, adventure, 
or science fiction. My personal 
recommendation for Howard, an 
irritating aquatic visitor from out- 
er space, would be to grill him 
with orange sauce and blast him 
back home as a frozen entree. 

Correction 

The Director of "Blue Velvet," 
reviewed here last week, was 
David Lynch, not David Lean.

Here On Campus 



The oldest project, Students 
Helping Our Elderly, is composed 
of a group of men who feel good 
about helping the elderly in the 

area. An activity center, the Un- 
ion Snyder Senior Citizen Center, 
is available to the senior citizens 
(it is not a home) from 10 a.m. - 2 

p.m. each day. Many of the 
brothers said that they have 
made friends and feel needed. All 
members spend time down at the 

senior citizen center each week,, 
but they also make time to do ser- 
vices for the senior citizens. One 
student, Dan Lichtner, is so de- 
voted that he visited the senior 
citizens over the summer. 
Though not all brothers are as in- 



volved as Dan, they find the proj- 
ect worth their time and effort, 
but as Glen Burnham stated, he 
"gets out of it" what he "puts into 
it." 



The time spent down at the 
center includes playing cards (es- 
pecially pinochle), serving lunch, 
holding parties, and sharing expe- 
riences. On Oct. 29, the project is 

holding their annual Halloween 
party at the center. Throughout 
the year, they have several par- 
ties: Christmas, Valentine's Day, 

St. Patrick's Day, and Easter. 
The project members make a 
point to send Valentine cards to 
Rathfon's Nursing Home. Re-

brated its twelfth anniversary. 
The senior citizens appreciate the 
services and enjoy the compan- 
ionship of these students. Chris 
Newman, project manager, said 

that the senior citizens were posi- 
tive about the project, and Jeff 
Giaimo felt the project gave posi- 
tive interaction between the stu- 
dents and the senior citizens. 

Though this project is com- 
posed of Sigma Phi Epsilon 

, brothers, the project is seriously 
considering allowing anyone to 
join and encourages students to 
participate. The major goal of the 
project is to continue the project. 

They hope to collect money from 
SUN Council, if and when SUN 
Council is approved by SGA. The 
project will be holding a cookie 

sale to help raise money for the 
new activity center. Participation 
in this project has given both the 
members and the senior citizens 
good feelings and companion- 
ship. -

Just What is the SJB? 



Now for the important 
$25,000 question, what is the 
Student Judiciary Board? Ac- 
cording to chairwoman Alice Jer- 
emko, the Student Judiciary 

Board, or SJB for short, is the stu- 
dents' judiciary court for all viola- 
tions of Susquehanna University 
policy and other discipline prob- 
lems as they occur. The board is 

constituted of three representa- 
tives of each of the sophomore, 
junior, and senior classes. Fresh- 
man representatives are elected in 
the spring. 

The board itself is divided into 
two sections, the Academic Hon- 
esty Committee and the Traffic 
Court. The Academic Honesty 
Committee is mainly concerned 

with such things as cheating on 
tests, plagerism, and test stealing. 
The committee has the power to 
give out the elimination of privi- 
leges, fines, and even suspen- 



sions. The committee also has ju 
risdiction over such things as par- 
ty fights and property damage. 
The Traffic Court deals with all 
violations of the campus parking 
code and can also give out fines. 



According to chairwoman Jer- 
emko, on the average the board 
meets ten times a year. During 
her time on the board in the last 



several years, there have been no 
major problems. She says the 
board is an excellent way for stu 
dents to learn to be responsible 

and for them to take care of their 
own problems rather than some 
outside group such as the admin- 
istration. If you have a question 

or comment to make about the 
board, contact Alice Jeremko or 
Mr. Bruce Evans, the advisor.

Sports 

Gridders Remain Perfect at 6-0 



The Crusaders of Susquehanna 
University are off to their best 
start in 22 years, after posting a 
1 7-0 shutout victory over Morav- 
ian College, to move their record 
to a perfect 6-0. 

The Susquehanna defense, in 
posting their second shutout of 
the season, held the Greyhounds 
to only 32 yards on the ground 
and a paltry 1 32 yards in total of- 
fense, marking the fourth consec- 
utive week they have held an op- 
ponent under 200 yards. So far 
this season, opponents are aver- 
aging only 69.3 yards on the 
ground per contest against the 
stingy Crusader defense. 

Following a fumble recovery 
by strong safety Dave Kells at the 
Moravian 36, the Crusaders used 
10 plays to put the first points of 
the day on the scoreboard. 

Sophomore halfback Joe Witt 
capped the drive with a one-yard 
dive into the end zone. Randy 
Pozsar added the PAT and Sus 
quehanna led 7-0 with 11:25 re- 
maining in the first half. 

The Orange and Maroon add- 
ed to their lead with just 17 sec- 
onds left in the first half, when 



quarterback Todd Coolidge 
found halfback John Lotti open 
over the middle for a 15 -yard 
touchdown pass. Pozsar added 
the conversion and Susquehanna 
took a 14-0 lead into the locker 
room. 

Key plays on the 8-play, 66- 
yard scoring drive were Coolidge 
passes to split end Al Bucci for 18 
and 9 yards and a Coolidge aerial 
to tight end John Dogum that 
covered 1 9 yards. 

Pozsar then closed out the 
scoring with 14 seconds remain- 
ing in the third quarter when he 
converted a 34-yard field goal to 
make the score 17-0. 

Leading the strong defensive 
effort for the Crusaders were a 
trio of juniors. Inside linebacker 
Trevor Henry made 14 tackles, 
including 10 unassisted, and was 
credited for one-half a sack, a 
tackle for loss and a caused fum- 
ble on the afternoon. Cornerback 
Chris Donato, who started in 
place of the injured Clayton 
Smith, was in on 5 tackles, inter- 
cepted a Greyhound pass and 
broke up four others, while mid- 
dle guard Damian Caracciolo was 
credited with 6 tackles. 



On the offensive side of the 
books, the Susquehanna running 
game was led by junior fullback 
Kevin Gormley with 73 yards on 
21 carries, while senior halfback 
Kevin Weber carred 1 1 times for 
47 yards. 

Through the air, Coolidge 
completed 1 5 of 28 passes for 1 70 
yards and a touchdown on the 
afternoon, despite being inter- 
cepted four times. His favorite 
targets were Bucci and split end 
Rob Sochovka with Bucci catch- 
ing 4 Coolidge passes for 55 yards 
and Sochovka hauling in 3 aerials 
for 52 yards. Coolidge once again 
received excellent protection 
from his offensive line, who have 
yielded only 3 sacks this season. 

With the victory, the Crusad- 
ers remain tied for first place with 
Juniata, a 38-31 winner over 
Wilkes last week, in the Middle 
Atlantic Conference, each with 
5-0 records. 

Susquehanna is back in action 
tomorrow at Amos Alonzo Stagg 
field, as they play host to the Fly- 
ing Dutchmen of Lebanon Valley 
in the annual Parents' Day game 
starting at 1:30.

At first base, the Red Sox go 
with veteran Bill Buckner who 
hit .267 with 18 home runs and 
102 RBIs in the regular season, 
but during the playoffs he injured 
his Achilles tendon and may miss 
the first few games of the series. 
The Mets counter with their lead- 
er, Keith Hernandez. Hernandez 
hit .310 and drove in 83 runs, 
while making only 5 errors all 
year. He has a better glove than 
Buckner. Advantage: Hernandez. 
Second base has two of the 
most underrated players at that 
position in the major leagues with 
Marty Barrett, the ALCS MVP, 
for the Red Sox and Wally Back- 
man for the Mets. Barrett hit 
.286 on the season and .429 in 
the playoffs with 5 RBIs. Back- 
man is one of the catalysts for the 
New Yorkers and hit a career 
high .320 in 1986. Advantage: 
Even. 

The shortstop position sees re- 
cently acquired Spike Owen for 
the Sox against smooth fielding 
Rafael Santana of the Mets. Ow- 
en hit .231 with both Seattle and 
Boston, but did drive in 45 runs 
from his ninth-place spot in the 
batting order. However, he did 
commit 2 1 errors during the regu- 
lar season and 5 more in the play- 
offs. Santana came around late at 
the plate to raise his average to 
.218, and he committed 16 errors 
this year, but none in the play- 
offs. Advantage: Slight edge to 
Owen. 

The league's leading hitter 
Wade Boggs handles the duties at 
third base for Boston, while New 
York relies on probable Come- 
back Player of the Year Ray 
knight. Boggs hit an amazing 
.357 and struck out only 44 times

in 580 at-bats. Knight carried the 
Mets through the first part of the 
season and ended the year with a 
.298 average, while hitting 11 
homers and driving in 76 runs. 
Both are adequate defensive play- 
ers. Advantage: Boggs. 

The outfield corps for the Red 
Sox includes Jim Rice, Tony 
Armas and Dwight Evans in left, 
center and right, while the Mets 
go with Mookie Wilson, Len 
Dykstra and Darryl Strawberry. 
Rice hit .324 with 20 HRs and 
110 RBIs during his possible 
MVP season, while Wilson, who 
will play against right-handed 
pitching, hit .289 with 9 homers 
and 45 RBIs. Kevin Mitchell 
with 12 home runs will play 
against lefties. Advantage: Rice. 
Armas, or possible Dave Hen- 
derson, will handle centerfield 
and combine to hit 26 home runs 
this year, but Henderson did get 
the call in the final three games of 
the playoffs. Dykstra is another 
table setter who had a fine play- 
off series and hit .295 during the 
regular season. He has a better 
glove than Armas or Henderson 
and much better speed, 31 stolen 
bases. Advantage: Dykstra. 

Evans is a power hitter with 
World Series experience for the 
Sox. In 1 986, he hit 26 home runs 
and drove in 97 runs, also has a 
very good arm. Strawberry also 
can hit for power, 27 HRs, 93 
RBIs, and has a great arm. How- 
ever, he does strike out a lot. 
Advantage: Even. 

Possibly the two best catchers 
in the majors right now are play- 
ing in this series. Red Sox Rich 
Gedman is a fine receiver who 
can hit for occasional power, 16 
HRs and 65 RBIs. He is good at 
throwing out would-be base steal 
ers. Gary Carter led the Mets 
with 105 RBIs and hit 22 HRs. 



Had trouble early throwing out 
runners, but came on at the end 
of the year. If hot, he can carry 
the team. Advantage: Slight edge 
to Carter. 

The starting pitching staffs 
both have great talent with 
names such as Roger Clemens, 
24-4, 2.48 ERA, Bruce Hurst and 
Oil Can Boyd for the Red Sox 
and Dwight Gooden, Bob Ojeda, 
Ron Darling and Sid Fernandez 
for the Mets. Advantage: Slight 
edge to the Mets. 

The bullpens will play a key 
part in this series and despite 
struggling for most of the year, 
the Sox pen has been outstanding 
over the last month of the season. 
Middle relief could be a problem. 
The Mets have a potent left-right 
combination with Jessie Orosco 
and Roger McDowell, 14-9 with 
22 saves. Middle relief gets a bolst 
with the addition of Rich Agui 
lera. Advantage: Mets. 

The benches will also play key 
roles with the main player for the 
Red Sox being former DH Don 
Baylor, while the Mets can rely 
on Danny Heep, Howard John 
son and Lee Mazzilli. Advantage: 
Mets. 

After looking at all the match 
ups, I look for the Mets to win 
the series in six games, due to the 
fact they have a better bullpen 
and bench.

University Scholars' Dinner 



Last Friday night, Susquehan- 
na University honored 125 of its 
most outstanding students in the 
area of academics at the Universi- 
ty Scholars' Recognition Dinner. 
For this select group, it was a 
pleasant way to kick off Parents' 
Weekend. The students and their 
parents were treated to a special 
buffet-style dinner, followed by a 
musical interlude in which 
several selections were performed 
by Mary Hannigan on flute and 
Dr. Susan Hegberg on harp- 
sichord. 

Afterwards, the scholastic 
achievement awards for 1986 
were presented by President Cun- 



ningham. The awards were given 
as follows: 

Philip C. Bossart Memorial 
Scholarship • Wendy Goodspeed 

Chemistry Award - Valerie 
Sarisky 

Elizabeth Eyster Piano Award 
- Rebecca Lent 

Petite Brogan Memorial 
Psychology Scholarship - William 
Valliere 

Joyce Gilbert Memorial 
Award of the Women's Auxiliary 
-Adam Bates 

Herb-Deibler Piano Award -Jill 
Schafer 

Minnie and Karl H. Rabey 
Award - Sandra Thomas 



William A. Russ History 
Award - Adam Bates 

Stine-Robinson Mathematical 
Prize - Reed Starr, Stephen 
Schneeweis 

Deborah Wissinger Business 
Prize - Susan Franchi, Thomas 
Kaufman 

Lindback Foundation Scholar- 
ship Award - Margaret Seville 

After the awards had been 
presented, the evening was 
brought to a climax by a brief but 
interesting and meaningful 
speech by Dr. Jack Holt. His sub- 
ject, The Meaning of Honor," 
was fitting for the occasion.

Vandalism: Enough Is Enough 



Vandalism-it's something we 
could live without, but unfor- 
tunately we encounter it quite 
often. Take, for instance, what 
has been happening here on 
campus, in a parking lot, and 
elsewhere. 

There have been two van- 
dalism incidents involving 
vehicles in the parking lot behind 
Smith dorm. According to 
Richard Woods, director of 
security, five vehicles were in- 
volved in the more serious of 



these incidents. A stereo was 
stolen from one, while the others 
suffered minor vandalism, in- 
cluding bent antennas and wind- 
shield wipers. This incident is still 
under investigation. 



The second incident involves 
three automobiles. Someone ap- 
parently went through these cars 
and some tapes were taken. This 
person was apprehended. 

Other acts of vandalism have 
been occurring in Steele Hall, and 
in dormitories. If the problem 
persists in Steele, Woods says, the 
building will be secured earlier, 
and students who use Steele 
almost as a second library will not 
be able to study there late in the 
evenings. 

In reaction to this vandalism in 
Steele, security is increasing the 
number of times they patrol the 
building, as well as having the 
student security workers walk 
through more often. 

There has also been damage 
I done to the field hockey goal 
I posts. They have been turned 



over and torn up enough times to 
now be costing the physical plant 
money. This damage to the posts 
only adds complications to the 
field hockey team, who really 
practice better with two goal 
posts. — 

In order to combat vandalism, 
Woods says, students' support 
and help is needed. They should 
call security when something 
unusual or suspicious is seen. He 
says it is SU as a community that 
is being hurt, and as a community 

we should make an effort to help 
stop the vandalism happening on 
campus. Woods says students 
have been taking an active role 
by calling security, but still more 
support is needed. 

KeOy Hayner 



Pres. Cunningham Goes Field Stomping? 



Suspicious events on campus? 
President Cunningham was spot- 
ted walking through the soccer 
fields by a crack Crusader 
reporter. His mission? Just as 
suspected, possible expansion. 

The university is currently con- 
sidering the movement of the 
frookside Racquet Club, which it 
acquired last year. The racquet 
club is now located north of 
Selinsgrove on Routes 11 & 15. 
The plan would involve moving 
the club to the vacant fields adja- 



cent to the soccer field and open- 
ing it to the public. 

At the present time, this idea is 
still in the planning stages. If the 
university decides to go ahead 
with the plan, it would still be 
some time until the project was 
completed. 

In other presidential news, 
Cunningham is quite pleased 
with the landscaping that has 
been going on since the summer. 
There have been many new 
shrubs and trees planted and 
more are on the way. The park- 



ing lot beside the Admissions Of- 
fice has been completed and has 
proven to be quite convenient. 

In accordance with the new 
trash cans, Cunningham is also 
pleased with the effort being 
made to keep the campus clean. 
A pet peeve of his for some time, 
the trash problem on campus is 
now under control. With student 
work groups and a general 
awareness of the problem, along 
with the magnetism of the new 
cans, the trash is now in its place. 



Parents' Weekend: What a Success! 



Person of the Week 



A few weeks ago, some careful 
readers may have noted that The 
Crusader planned a "Person of 
the Week" article to acknowledge 
some individual or group on 
campus who merited a little 
"newspaper applause" for their 
contributions to campus life. 
Well, a few weeks later, we're 
pleased to announce that the idea 
has caught on and we're ready to 
introduce this week's person of 
the week as Dr. James R. 
Misanin, professor of psychology. 

Few people wander back to the 
psychology offices located in 
Fisher Science, and even less peo- 
ple enter through the auspicious 
"Animal Laboratory" doors into 
the rat lab, where Dr. Misanin 
does much of his research. This 
research, however, has produced 
over 60 publications and a string 
of research grants. 

i Just recently, Misanin received 
a research grant from the Na- 
tional Institute of Child Health 

land Human Development. This 

{grant provides $65,000 of finan- 
cial support for a two-year study 
geared to provide information on 
how individual events that 
become related through classical, 
Pavlovian conditioning pro- 
cedures are represented in 
memory at different stages of 

: development. Age differences in 
the way these events are 



represented in memory may lead 
to new directions in recearch of 
factors responsible for infantile 
amnesia and age-related memory 
dysfunction. 

Misanin will enlist some stu- 
dent assistance, but he expects 
the research to occupy 25% of 
his time during the academic 
year, and all of his summer. 

Misanin received his Ph.D. in 
psychology from Rutgers Univer- 
sity in 1968, and has taught here 
at Susquehanna for the past 18 
years. Throughout these years, 
he has consistently contributed to 
the field of psychology with his 
studies of learning, motivation, 
and memory, both comparative 
and developmental. In addition 
to journal publications, he has 
written book reviews, presented 
numerous papers and discussions 
at conventions, and has recently 
been invited to lead a talk at a 
neuropsychology symposium in 
Germany. 

Note: We invite readers to submit 
ideas for any people or groups on 
campus you feel deserve public 
acknowledgement for some out- 
standing performance. Although 
we appreciate the interest, we do, 
however, request that specific 
fraternities and sororities be ex- 
cluded from the nominations.

Here On Campus 



A five dollar membership fee 
for the Outing club will take you 
places that you never imagined 
possible. Co-presidents Cindy 
Cook and Alison Glembocki 
hope to revive the club by 
making it more active and 

Our Corner . 

Welcome back and a general 
all around "hi." The campus 
seems to be awakening from its 
year-long slumber, as this week 
we have received not one, but 
two letters to the editor. Unfor- 
tunately, one is not signed and 
will have to wait. 

I mentioned last week that I 
would try to get the information 
about the phones in under the 
wire, but I was unable to. 
However, I did speak with Scott 
Mangol, the Telecommunica- 
tions Director, late last week and 
he showed me a barrage of 
graphical data. The following is 
an attempt to summarize that 
meeting. 

One of the primary problems 
with the phone system is that it is 
being used in much greater 
volume than was ever imagined. 
The long distance phone bill for 

the students last month totalled 
over $23,000. This is an average 
of around $60 per room. In addi- 
tion, the number of calls to the 
operator or to other on-campus 



putting stronger leadership into 
it. 

At the last meeting, the other 
officers were elected: Bob Rotete, 
vice-president; Linda Knutson, 
treasurer; and Jennifer Wolfe, 
secretary. 



numbers were far greater than ex- 
pected. Mangol suggests that the 
students take the time to write 
down the numbers of places such 
as the pizza shop so that repeated 
calls to the operator are not 
necessary. 

Mangol states that he does 
understand that the students are 
going to want to use the phone 
whenever they want, but he 
hopes people are aware that the 
system can only handle a finite 
number of calls. 

The main complaint that I 
addressed in my column and that 
others have expressed is the dif- 
ficulty in obtaining an outside 
line. There are 12 outside lines 
for the students to use. Mangol 
says that if the system is used cor- 
rectly, they are capable of 
handling the job. He told me he 
had solved the problem 5 hours 
before our meeting. 

He cites the primary difficulty 
in the way the students are using 
the phones. In an effort to get an 
outside line, many students 
punch eight, listen, hang up if it is 
busy, and then punch eight again. 
If this is done repeatedly and

Two trips were discussed. The 
first was a caving trip and the 
second, a day hike. The caving 
trip is hosted by Quest, which is 
at Bloomsburg college. Quest is 
similar to a Professional Outward 
Bound, which tries to relate the 
outdoors to work. The caving trip 
will be on either Nov. 8, with 
seven spots available, or Nov. 16, 
with eleven spots available. The 
day hike is planned for Nov. 1 or 



rapidly, the caller could fail to 
realize he has obtained a line. 
When he has a line and hangs up 
quickly, the line is put on hold 
(this was mentioned in the notice 
that came with the bills), and if he 
continues until he gets a second 
line, he is now occupying two 
lines out of 12. 

Mangol points out that it only 
takes a few people to do this to ef- 
fectively wipe out all available 
lines. He says that if the students 
stop using this method of getting 
an outside line, many of the 
problems will clear up. He 
estimates that it would be only a 
2 minute wait instead of a 20 
minute wait. 

For those that wonder why 
people can't call in on some occa- 
sions, Mangol's graphs fail to in- 
dicate a problem and he does not 
know why there is a problem. 
Hopefully, there will be more in- 
formation on that later. 

A further aid to the whole 
problem will be the addition of 16 
lines to the system after 
Christmas break. Mangol wants 
everyone to realize that the 
system has just been installed and 
it takes time to get the bugs out. 
He expects that with the students 
using the phones properly and 
the addition of the new lines, 
there will be few problems in the 
future. 

Let me say in conclusion that I 
am simply relaying this informa- 
tion. I am still undecided if I 
agree that the problem is solved. I 
agree that Mangol may have 
identified the problem, but I'm 
not sure it is solved. I don't know 
enough about the system to argue 
with statistical data, but I do 
know that 12 lines for 400 
phones doesn't sound like 
enough. I guess time will tell. See 
you here next week^

Wednesday evenings at 7 
p.m. The Crusader will hold 
its weekly staff meeting. At 
these meetings the assign-

interest, then the trip will take

and canoeing. Though the

Dear Editor, 

We feel that it is about time 
that something is said in regard to 
the attendance policy here at Sus- 
quehanna University. As a stu- 
dent in high school, we were re- 
quired by law to attend school. 
We all looked forward to attend- 
ing college where we would be in- 
dividuals making our own deci- 
sions. Unfortunately, Susquehan- 
na University has an attendance 
policy similar to most high 
schools. Therefore we are not 
allowed to become that in- 
dividual because the University 
stipulates the number of classes 
we are allowed to miss. 

University policy states, "Sus- 
quehanna University expects 
regular class attendance of all 
students. Poor class attendance 
may result in the student re- 
ceiving a failing grade. This 
policy is administered by the 
faculty member in each in- 
dividual class." It goes on to say, 
"When a student has ac- 
cumulated more absences than 
weekly classes in any particular 
course during the semester, the 
faculty member may warn the 
student in writing of the conse- 
quences of additional absences. 
When the absence accumulation 
has reached the equivalent of two 
weeks' class meetings, the faculty 
member may refer the matter to 
the Vice President of Academic 
Affairs with the recommendation 
that the student be removed from 
the course and be given an F." 
Also, "Every faculty member has 
the option to establish more or 
less stringent attendance require- 
ments," such as lowering the stu- 
dent's grade accordingly instead 



members the use of renting 
canoes, backpacks, cross country 
skies, snowshoes, etc. from the 
University's outdoor equipment 
room for half price. Cindy Cook 
sees the club as a chance "to en 
joy the outside life" with others i 
Meetings are held every Tuesday 
at 7 p.m. in Faylor Lecture Hall 
and the secretary will be posting 
updates in the newspaper.

of failing the student. 

Yet, if we attend class without 
missing more than four days for a 
fourteen week course, our grade 
is not raised for complying with 
the University's attendance 
policy. 

We pay close to $8,000 a year 
for tuition alone. We realize, to 
obtain the best education our 
money can buy, we should attend 
every class. At times this is not 
possible because of personal 
problems, oversleeping, just 
wanting to "blow it off, or other 
things such as: a job interview, 
taking a friend to the airport, go- I 
ing to the hospital, etc. Some 
students can go to class just for 
the tests and receive an A or B 
average for the course. But due to 
our University's policy this is not 
possible. An example is a friend 
of ours who missed more than the 
allotted 4 days. He had a B 
average at the end of the course, 
according to what his test grades 
reflected, yet he received an F | 
due to his excessive absences. 
Now you tell us, is he being! 
graded on class attendance or on 
his knowledge of the course | 
material? 

We propose that students be I 
responsible for their own class at 
tendance. It is up to us to get the 
most out of our college educa 
tion, whatever that may be. 
Therefore we should be given the 
opportunity to decide how many 
classes we feel we need to attend 
to achieve a passing grade. Wc 
would appreciate any response to] 

this letter to the editor.

PEACE MARCH 

Have you ever felt like stand- 
ing up f° r something and then 
found that there weren't enough 
people to back you up? Are you 
just as much in favor of world 
peace as the next guy, but don't 
really know how you can say it? 
If you can answer "yes" to these 
questions, you might consider 
joining a large community of peo- 
ple for a day to march for peace. 

This peace march will be in 
Washington, D.C. on Saturday, 
November 15, 1986, and YOU 
are encouraged to go! People will 
be walking from Meridian Hill 
Park to the White House to the 
Vietnam Memorial to the Lin- 
coln Memorial where there will 
be a candlelighting ceremony at 
dark. 

If you're interested, or even in- 
trigued, please contact Merritt

The Student Government As- 
sociation held its third meeting 
on Monday Oct. 27 in Siebert 
Model Classroom. After roll call 
was taken and a majority of sena- 
tors were present, the meeting be- 
gan with a talk given by Head of 
Security Rich Woods. 

Mr. Woods mentioned several 
problems on campus. The major 
probblem was vandalism to both 
cars and to Steele Hall. He said 
that there is a possibility that 
Steele Hall would be closed after 
all classes were over at 8 p.m. be- 
cause students are vandalizing 
the Coke machines and various 
other pieces of furniture. Other 
than that, he reported that there 
were no major problems on cam- 
pus. If you have any information 

about the vandalism at Steele 
Hall, please contact Rich Woods

There was also more discussion 
about the proposed non-alcoholic

students by SGA, the vote was 
87% in favor of the pub and only 
13% against the pub. SGA Presi-

the non-alcoholic pub. It would

students could socialize. If you

It's Greek to Us 



SIGMA KAPPA 

Well kids, my deadline is in one 
hour and I have so much neat 
stuff I don't know where to 
begin! First of all I would like to 
explain that the dubious daring 
duo (our pledges) were treated to 
Perkins; some important parts of 
last week's article were edited 
out. But wouldn't you know 
Jamie and Lisa decided to treat 
the sisters in the house and in 
Aikens to breakfast last Saturday, 
but we won't mention the fact 
that it was at 6:15 in the morn- 
ing, will we?? More than one 
sister had to peel themselves off 
the ceiling after they were so 
'gently' awakened. Suzanne 
Kuhnast is up for the 'Most Ob- 
noxious' in the morning 
award— how anyone can be so 
cheerful in the morning is beyond 
me. 

In the sports area, we would 
like to extend our congratulations 
to all the winning teams, keep up 
the good work. We would also 
like to congratulate two athletes 
especially; our own sister, Felicia 
McClymont, and Michael Bur- 
ton. Flea is now tied, as of Tues- 
day, with Suquehanna's Field 
Hockey scoring record. We hope 
that she succeeds in breaking this 
record. Good luck Flea! Good 
luck to all the sisters on the team 
as well; you all are doing a fan- 
tastic job! Michael Burton won 
the Cross Country meet last 
Saturday as well as breaking his 
own personal record. Congratula- 
tions Michael, keep up the good 
work! 

Congratulations are in order 
for Kim Hauze; she has recently 
been chosen as Drum Major for 
the Susquehanna Marching 
Band! Do a song for us, Kimmie! 

Once again, some sisters really 
know how to use what is inside 
their skulls. Our University 
Scholars are: Susan Franchi, 
Debbie Hite, Peggy Seville, Barb 
Bakeman, Linda Lamberti, Holly 
Whittaker, Nancy Douglas, and 
Linda Knutson. Besides being 
honored as University Scholars, 
Susan Franchi and Peggy Seville 
both received an award. Susan 
received the "Debra Wissinger 
Award," and Peggy received the 
"Lindback Foundation Scholar- 
ship." Scary isn't it? Seriously, 
Sigma Kappa is proud to have 
such fine and hard working 
sisters! Keep up the good work! 



Our last congratulations 
(honest) go to Theta Chi and 
Kappa Delta for winning Best 
Fraternity/Sorority. 

We would also like to thank 
everyone who came down to our 
Halloween Open House last 
night, it was a fun time for all! 

A few parting shots... Jamie 
sure has got one heck of a 
swoosh; Lisa is giving a recital 
that will include the Top 10 hit, 
'Mary Had a Little Lamb'; 
Suzanne didn't know the game 
was on; No cheering allowed in 
the Atrium; Better watch out for 
those bolted doors at 4 in the 
morning! 

Just one more, 

Silences make the real conver- 
sations between friends. Not the 
saying, but the never needing to 
say is what counts. 

Until next week...

ALPHA DELTA PI 

It sure was nice to have our 
Moms and Dads around last 
weekend. We all had a great time 
at the house, the Mother's 
ceremony (there wasn't a dry eye 
in the house), and at the game. 
It's always great to get some nor- 
mal foot for once! 

We'd like to thank everyone 
who supported our balloon lift- 
off and also all those who helped 
us out. A special thanks goes to 
our great service chairman, Sally 
Nickey, as well as Murray Hunt 
and the Nickey family. It 
couldn't have been done without 
you! Stay tuned for the winner of 
the gift certificate to the Sus- 
quehanna Inn- 
Congrats to all those who put 
on a great production of "Guys 
and Dolls" this weekend, but 
especially to Sarah Reynolds, 
Claudia Kuhn, Colleen Kosa, and 
Cindy Lain (by the way Cindy, 
did you find out who those false 
teeth belonged to?). 

Congrats also go out to those 
Crusaders! Keep it going guys! 
Congrats also to v-ball and soc- 
cer!

On Wednesday we all went up 
to Geisinger to have a Halloween 
party with the kids there. I think 
we had as much fun as the kids 
did! Thanks to everyone who 
helped out. 

Let's not forget where to be on 
Sunday. Yes, the bowling alley 
will never be the same. Points 
will be awarded, so let's all be 
there! 

The public spectacle of the 
week award goes to the one and 
only Kathy Rave who decided 
she would ride her bike to her 
b-day celebration at B.J.'s (the 
place for ribs). 

Some final notes: 

— Bethann B., we wish you 
could see your feet! 

—To the second floor of Reed- 
you can wear them if you want 
to, but a size five is pretty small! 
And by the way, we want the 
purple ones back! (From the 1st 
Floor). 

—Kim, where are your ants? 
Let's all have a happy and safe 
Halloween! Watch out for all 
those scary things.... Have a fun 
weekend! 

Adios-

PHI MU DELTA 

Welcome back my friends to 
the show that never ends— Phi 
Mu Delta "It's Greek To Us." 
The Mets! The Mets! The Mets! 
The magic is finally back. After a 
cardiac pennant race and seven 
nerve-wracking world series 
games, the championship (or 
BUST) is back in New York. 
Boston fans (and Shame) may 
you be haunted forever by images 
of chants of DAR-RYL and his 
seventh game shot. He who 
laughs last... Never will the Muds 
forget the 409 scene: Rally caps, 
Rally pants, Wally Pip, Lenny 
Deke, Gimpie Compie, Clay 
Might, and Hugh (pronounced 
Ha-Yuh!). God Bless America! 

On to more sane events: the 
Giants persevered over the *Skins 
and forced a three-way tie for 
first, but what's really important 
is that the football Crusaders are 
still undefeated and looking fan- 
tastic. On the soccer scene, 
Brother Chris Lowe scored his 
first career goal and helped SU 
avoid a shutout: congratulations 
Topher! Finally, the rugby team 
picked up its first legitimate win, 
but it looked like the B Team was 
having more fun watching. 

Parent's Weekend was fan- 
tastic! Thanks go out to Lobo for 
starting things out on the right 
foot, or on your face, right Wad? 
Saturday's banquet at the 
Weathervane was a blast, fol- 
lowed by a Met-miracle in 



Game-6 and a party of equal im- 
portance; sorry to the parents 
who got kicked off the furniture. 
Seems like the rental units 
haven't forgot how to knock a 
few down, and for that matter, 
neither has Curtis, who almost 
knocked Mrs. McCaffery down. 
However, the never-ending cup 
fight was definately the highlight 
of the evening (if you overlook 

the Sherf-Sinnot incident and 
every Tarl imaginable on the 
bar). 

As you're well aware, today is 
Halloween and the Brothers and 
Pledges are psyched for the Little 
Sister-sponsored bash tonight. 
You girls are fabulous! Also, 
tomorrow is the infamous Phi 
Mu Delta Pig Roast, so get your 
cups while they're still around. 
Also, watch out for the hatchet, 
uh chainsaw, uh guillotine, uh, 
well, my father was a masked 
murderer. Always be careful, he 
might show up— Chachi, that is. 
Before closing, one quick ques- 
tion: What does this mean to 
you? Daaaaahhh! 

—Jim Harris 

P.S. Congratulations to 
Stephen Costalos for lavaliering 
his main squeeze, who would 
have believed it Los? 



LAMBDA CHI ALPHA 

Greetings from Bunderland, 
the house that molds men and in- 
telligence (unlike some others). 

First things first, we would like 
to thank all parents for making 
this Parents' Weekend the best 
ever for Lambda and Susquehan- 
na. We had quite a successful 
cocktail party with our parental 
units who really seemed to ap- 
preciate the overwhelming 
warmth of our fortress. 

Once again we would like to 
congratulate the fighting 
Crusaders of SU on the trouncing 
of the not-so-fighting Flying 
Dutchmen of Lebanon Valley. 
We would also like to salute the 
Lambda brothers who play on 
and support this magnificent 
team. We were also overjoyed 
when brother Damian Caracciola 
returned an interception for his 
first NCAA touchdown, but 
much to our dismay brother 
Steve "sooch or smooch" Curran 
was found to be offsides on this 
very same play! Oh well, tough 
luck Damian. 

Speaking of Damian, brother 
Caracciola (John Travolta 
lookalike) will be offering 
a dance seminar entitled: 
DANCING...MY WAY! This 
seminar will take place in the 
Bunder chapter room on Satur- 
day night, 7 p.m. sharp - all are 
welcome! 

Last Saturday night was our 
first and last Spud appreciation 



night. We would like to thank all 
who came out to see the Spuds' 
last appearance in the Bunder 
barroom this season. Also, since 
it was your night to be recog- 
nized, we congratulate you on 
the coveted Fraternity of the 
Year Award. However, I thought 
the award was based on academic 
achievement and community ser- 
vice as well. Oh well. 

Now for the Brother of the 
Week: 

Senior Profile 
Subject: James "Rudy" Rudolf 
Residence: Somewhere in New 
York 
Major: Marine Battle Tactics 

and Hand to Hand Combat 

Favorite foods: C rations, preg- 
nant Oscars, and bullfrogs 
Favorite things in life: Planting 

Ferns, cross country (especially 
that last mile), and being Mike 
Pizzico's roommate. 

Goal in Life: To do a Light 
beer commercial 

Well, this ends another ex- 
citing week of Bunder news. 
Have a "ghoulish" weekend. 
Always remember what Capt. 
Morgan, the man with the 
legendary thirst, says: you don't 
have to drink to have fun! 
Hugs and Kisses, 
—Kent Bergey 



SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

What is it, Week Eight now? 
And boy, what a week for sports. 
Our Crusaders rolled over one 
more stepping stone on the way 
to the MAC Championship, the 
Giants stomped on Washington, 
and of course, THE AMAZIN' 
METS are the 1986 World 
Champs. Yessir, baseball like it 
oughtta be. 

This week was also a busy one 
for us Sig Eps. Tuesday we spon 
sored a Responsible Drinking 
Seminar in Smith Dorm. We'd 
like to thank the Residence Life 
Office and all those who attended 
for making it a great success. 
Wednesday, we held our Horror 
night in preparation for this 
weekend's festivities. Also, Sig Ep 
II saw action against some of the 
administration in Intramural 
Volleyball that evening. This 
afternoon, from 4 to 5:30, will be 
our Faculty reception to 
celebrate 86 years of Pride 
Through Excellence in Sigma Phi 
Epsilon. Our Birthday Party will 
begin Nov. 1. 

As for this weekend, be sure to 
stop up at the house for our 
Halloween Party, Friday night at 
9 p.m. Be prepared for a real 
witchin' time. Don't forget to 
stop up Saturday and have a slice 
of birthday cake with us.

THElA CHI 

Hello Susquehanna. We here 
at Theta Chi would like to be per- 
mitted a chance at a bit of 
gloating. We were once again 
selected MOST OUTSTAND- 
ING FRATERNITY by the Sus- 
quehanna University faculty. 
Congratulations are also in order 
for Kappa Delta on the same 
note. 

Now with swollen heads we 
trudge forward with more news 

from Spudland. In celebration of 
successful midterms the brothers 
had the Selinsgrove Fire Depart- 
ment in an uproar with a river- 
side bonfire. Anything not mov- 
ing or nailed down became ashes. 
Thanks to Geno's contribution, 
the roaring flames were eventual- 
ly stilled. 

Aric Wilson, Dave Ringler and 
our fearless leader Mr. Dean A. 
Turner terrorized the Selinsgrove 

area Wed. night They think. 

Yet Mr. Turner saved his bedside 
heroics for a private audience, 
right Lynn? 

The pledges decided that Roger 
did not know the Selinsgrove area 
well enough, so a personal tour 
was arranged Thursday night. 

The cocktail party held on 
Saturday for our parents was a 
great success. With many parents 
taking a few pointers from their 
sons. The whole day was wonder- 
bar. Bobby, nice entrance! You're 
supposed to wear the lampshade, 
not crush it. Brothers Moraski 
and Pellegrino who got stuck 
pulling curtains in Weber Chapel, 
you missed a good time! Thanks 
to John Harris for hooking up the 
TV in the bar. We all enjoyed 
watching the miracle Mets finish. 



Sunday, the brothers decided 
to have an invitation-only party 
for our pledges. What a great 
time. Quack, Quack. 

In preparation for the chilly 
weather, 4 brothers, led by 
Twinkle Toes McCourt, went on 
a quest for firewood. Endanger- 
ing their very lives, Scuba, 
Stoner, Puck and McCoe were 
able to return safely. 



Chris, is that 1240 on the A.M. 
dial? 

Until Next Week 
MeMe & Puck 
P.S. Stoner....Stcp on it! 
P.P.S. Moraski, Never speak to 
me like that again-Ill break your 
nose It's that simple.

Greetings from the Ave. Hope 
you all had a pleasant weekend 
with Mom and Dad. Phi Sig had 
one of the best cocktail receptions 
for the p's in a while. Congrats to 
the rugby team on their victory. 
In case you were eating lunch in 
the caf last Friday around 1 1:00, 

that was none other than JEFF 
WYNN who set off the 
alarm...yes, that's right- JEFF 
WYNN, alias CHUNIE, was 
pretty embarrassed, but that's life 
as an Abrasive Brother. Should 
be a D.O. A. romp, soon, IF Keith 
"Beef Bauman (with pin) gets 
those assigned appliances. Dog is 

durable. Yes, ZTA, that was my 
dad and myself serenading you 
on Saturday night- bet it was the 
best version of "Down-town" you 
ever heard. Why hasn't some- 
body shot Morgan Fairchild yet? 
Chris "Lumpy" Pluta and Jim 
"Chip" Hilker had visits from 
their wives this weekend. While 
we're on the subject of original 
nick-names, Randy Noonan is 
NOT known as "Dr. Know," hell 



always be the **%$##&/. Shell 
Answer Man to us... I mean, who 
the hell cares what "Kum-by-ya" 
means??? (Did I spell it correctly, 
Randy?) Having a major Hallo- 
ween bash tonight.. .if you want 
to drop by a little late in the 
evening (or morning), be sure to 
check with ZTA first. "Holy low- 
blows, Batman, was that a joke?" 
Matt "Democrat" Walker woke 
up one of these mornings, and 
discovered that he could 
rap...geeze, what a man.. .watch 
it, Dana (Dana), hell want you to 

call him "D, the M.C." soon. 
Mike "Bozo" Bendorf was pretty 
upset when Lumpy and I told 
him that he wasn't in the article, 
and we'd beat him up if he didn't 
get out of our room... anyway, 
he's still uttering "Unclaimed 
Freight" and "stromboli."...and 
you wonder why we call you

ZETA TAU ALPHA 

Good afternoon, everyone, 
and Happy Halloween to my 
sisters! I would first like to 
apologize to my sisters for 

missing "It's Greek To Us" last 
week, but home got the best of 
me. Just to catch up, Anna 



received the coveted Bs2nd 
award last week. What are you 
going to name him, J.D.? 

Well, the World Series is final- 
ly over, with the Amazing Mets 
as Champions of the World. 
Kathy Kloss and Anita Kloiber 
can now return to their 
somewhat normal lives as SU 
students. Anita, lets catch the 
wave with Harvey and put some 
holes in the oil can real soon! 

I hope everyone enjoyed the 
pumpkin carving and movie 
night down at the house Wed. 
night; I'm sure a good time was 
had by all. And thanks to all the 
sisters and the parents that made 
Parents weekend a success! 
Special thanks to Kathy Kloss 
and Deb Kopf for that incredible 
food spread! 

Well girls, the Luau is 24 hours 
away and I hope to see you all in 
your grass skirts and leis. Just 
remember, no drinking and 
driving, (seriously) If anyone is 
still in need of a date, I think 
there is still room in the Deb 
Kopf "most original way to find a 
date" class. Classes begin Thurs- 
day evenings after everyone is 
asleep. 

Jean Ann Swann, Meg 
Farmer, and pledge Mel Raffa all 
had a good time last Friday night 
at the movies. Did any of you 
girls catch the plot? Attention all 
sisters, one of our beloved ZTAS 
keeps disappearing each week- 
end! Her name is Bethany Ray 
and she is becoming a ghost! If 
anyone can keep her here for one 
whole w-end, I just may have to 
give out a prize! 

Welcome to the Mansfield 
Zetas who are here with us this 

weekend, and good luck in your 
tournament tomorrow. Congrats 
also go out to the 7-0 Crusaders 
who just recently beat Leb. 
Valley. Good luck on Sat. against 
Upsala! 

Time for me to go or I won't 
make print. 

In Zeta love,

p.s. 53 days until Christmas 
Break!

some of the goriest, most glorious 
thrillers, all available on 
videocassette, for your fright 
night party. 

"An American Werewolf In 
London." Joe Dante directed this 
horror/comedy about an 
American student who discovers 
the alchemic effects of London's 
full moon. In the title role, David 
Naughton had his best part since 
the Dr. Pepper man. The effects 
are startlingly gruesome, and a 
surprising low hum of humor 
underscores it all. 

"Endangered Species." The 
best horror is implied, as JoBeth 
Williams discovers while portray- 
ing a Colorado sheriff in- 
vestigating a spate of cattle 
mutilations. Before it's done, she 
encounters murder, Satanism, 
and an unlikely romance with 
Robert Urich. Director Alan 
Rudolph casts a welcome cold 
eye on the story; the resultant 
film is rather false but very scary. 

"Halloween" and "Halloween 
II." Perhaps the ultimate Fright 
Night movies are virtual paeans 
to the holiday itself. John 
Carpenter re-invented the genre 
with these two; taking horror 
from the abstract to the bloody, 
bloody concrete. These movies 
also contain the added bonus of 
promising that Jamie Lee Curtis 
will finally get hers. At the hands 
of a maniac. 

"Young Frankenstein." Argu- 
ably Mel Brooks' finest hour-and- 
a-half, this one simultaneously 
honors and lambastes the horror 
genre. Gene Wilder is at his 
manic best as a mad scientist who 

inherets a gloomy Transylvanian 
castle, complete with a hunch- 
backed assistant, demented 
hausfrau, and incomplete 
monster in the workshop. Marty 
Feldman, Cloris Leachman, Terri

leaving for a few minutes). 




Garr, and Madeline Kahn co- 
star. 

"Psycho." Actually, anything 
with Alfred Hitchcock's name on 
it is a safe bet, but it would be dif- 
ficult to find a more baldly terri- 
fying movie than "Psycho." An- 
thony Perkins is sublime as the 
shaky Norman Bates, manager of 
a hotel no one ever leaves. Janet 
Leigh (mother of the aforemen- 
tioned late Ms. Curtis) is so ex- 
quisitely beautiful that you know 
she's gonna die soon, and this she 
does in one of the cinema's most 
celebrated scenes. 

"The Shining." Jack Nicholson 
did for Stephen King what King 
himself could not: made it in- 
teresting. We have here one shrill 
housewife (Shelley Duvall), one 
psychic child (Danny Lloyd), and 
one crazy writer (you-know-who). 
They're all trapped at a remote 
Colorado hotel. Stanley Kubrick 
directed with more verve than he 
has shown before or since. 

"The Exorcist." I have yet to 
find as frightening and repulsive 
a film as this. Linda Blair was the 
perfect choice to play a child 
possessed by the devil; with her 
round eyes and pudgy cheeks, 
she's the last one you'd expect it 
of. This is not a movie to watch 
alone. Aw, 111 just go ahead and 
say it: this is the scariest movie 
ever made. 

"The Texas Chainsaw Mas- 
sacre." What can I say that hasn't 
been said already? It's yucky, it's 
bloody, it's excessive, it's stupid. 
It's perfect. Happy Halloween.

Crusaders Get Crusader 




Notice: The rumors of suspicious Halloween activity that are circulating are false. Specifically, there was no 
psychic on the Johnny Carson show, no story in the National Enquirer, and no one on the Donahue show. Also, 

Kutztown has not sent their students home. In fact, at Kutztown the story was that we were all sent home for 
two days. 

These stories are just the usual Halloween hoax. Let's keep our wits about us and not panic at these campfire 
stories. Have a happy Halloween. 

By the way, to go along with the hoax, President Cunningham is pictured discussing the rumors with Johnny 
Carson.

senators also approved Ellen Rei- 
ly as the chairwoman of the food 
service committee and Todd Coo- 
lidge as the chairman of the ex- 
tracurricular activities commit- 
tee. Both of these positions had 
been vacant. After vigorous de- 
bate, the senate also approved an 
additional amount of funding for 
the International Club with the 
stipulations that the club must 
raise itself between $100 and 
$200 in order to get matching 
funds from SGA and that the 
club must also not overspend. 

President Jim Faust reported 
that the SGA conference that he, 
Doug Carlson, Kim Gorman, 
Kristin Meinig, and Dean Ander- 
son attended in St. Louis on Oct. 
9-11 was very successful with 
each gaining new insight and new 
ideas on how to run student gov- 
ernment better. 

The next meeting will be held 
on Nov. 10 in Seibert Hall.

Although any individual on cam- 
pus can be nominated, we feel 
that each of the fraternities and 
sororities has a public voice in 
The Crusader each week in "It's 
Greek to Us," and thus a chance 
to recognize their achievements. 
Just send your ideas to The 
Crusader through campus mail,

staff.

Spirit! Jim Faust, president of 
SGA, is on a crusade to promote 
school spirit; and under his 
direction, and with the Universi- 
ty's approval, Susquehanna 
University now has its own of- 
ficial mascot. 

The official Susquehanna 
Crusader was introduced at the 
Parents' Weekend football game 
last Saturday. It will be placed 
under the scoreboard on the foot- 
ball field for home football 
games, and will also appear at 
some basketball games and other 



school events. The Crusader is 
part of a school spirit campaign, 
as are the orange pom-poms 
given out free at the games. 

This past year SGA found out 
about a store in Reading, Penn 
sylvania, that makes knights. 
Thanks to SU student Kristin 
Meinig and her father, the com 
pany was contacted and the 
Crusader was born. 

Although the Crusader is 
movable, the armor cannot be 
worn.

Bringing Things to Light 



Dear Lamplighters: 

First a question: Are you in- 
cluding faculty and staff concerns 
in your column? If you are, then I 
have an observation to make. 

I've been at Susquehanna long 
enough to have met most of the 
faculty and staff (even though it 
changes quite a bit every year), 
and there are some really "dark" 
outlooks pervading our ranks. I 
agree that there are some very 
dark situations (objectively), but 
some people complain about 
everything and seem to have ab- 
solutely nothing positive to say 
about anyone or anything at Sus- 
quehanna. I am concerned about 
the legitimate gripes (I have a few 
of my own... who doesn't?) and 
also about how some people let 
bad situations infect their total vi- 
sion. A recent visitor to campus 
who had contact with faculty and 
staff asked me, before departing, 
if I thought most of the staff here 
are unhappy, negative, and/or 
about to leave. I was surprised. 
And I became quite concerned 
that this is the image we're pro- 
jecting. I think this is a serious 
problem, which I think could be 
addressed by (1) focusing on the 
positives and, (2) doing something 
about the negatives instead of 
just complaining. Any ideas? 
—Surprised and Concerned 

Dear Surprised and Concerned: 
First of all, as should be clear 
by the above being in print, yes, a 



strong yes: this column is for the 
whole community... thanks for 
writing. 

Second, in response to your 
observation. Perhaps it would be 
useful for the Susquehanna com- 
munity if this space were to 
become one in which concerns or 
"gripes" were aired for general 
consumption. We invite such 
responses, but with a stipulation: 
That the gripe be stated in a 
specific and concrete way. Gripes 
like: "Students are terrible," "The 
administration couldn't care less 
about us," "This place is awful," 
etc., are extremely dark notions. 
They allow of no approach to 
solutions, they stop the process of 
thinking from getting under way, 
they become self-fulfilling since 
they deny the means to begin 

refuting them. In short, they 
darken our whole vision, and we 
believe, unnecessarily. So send us 
complaints, but make them con- 
crete. What happened? What, ex- 
actly, are people doing or not do- 
ing? What is your particular re- 
action to some state of affairs? If 
you write, we will try to promote 
the issue being acted upon, or at 
least try to serve as a vehicle for 
solutions. Remember, if you do 
write to us (c/o Lamplighters, 
campus mail), you need not sign 
the letter. 

Apart from our contribution, 
Surprised and Concerned, we ask 
you: When was the last time you 



Keeping it Alive 



VIII. Individual Professionals 
Strut Their Stuff 
Happy Halloween, all you art 
lovers! We hope you had a nice 
visit with mom and dad last 
weekend, and we especially hope 
that you took them to see "Guys 
and Dolls." "G & D" turned out 
to be a very successful musical 
for SU, and Arts Alive would like 
to congratulate the cast and 
technical crew for a job well 
done. But now on to other things 



On Tuesday, Nov. 4, you have 
the opportunity to experience 
something different: literary art 
as opposed to the performing 
arts. At 7:30 pm, in Greta Ray 
Lounge, Robert Taylor, Jr., pro- 
fessor of English at Bucknell 
University, will be reading from 
his work to interested students 
and faculty. Among his many 
other credits, Taylor has had 
his writing published in 
BEST AMERICAN SHORT 
STORIES. This event is spon- 
sored by the President's Fund for 
Excellence, and Taylor is the first 
of many writers that will be 
visiting SU this year. There will 
also be a reception held after- 
wards. For those of you who 
don't know where Greta Ray 
Lounge is, it is located to the 
right of the main doors in Weber 

Chapel Auditorium at the end of 
the hall. So now you have no ex- 



cuse not to attend! Any student 
who would like to schedule in- 
dividual time with Mr. Taylor 
should see Dr. Gary Fincke in the 
Learning Skills Center in the 
basement of the library. If you 
are interested in writing (or just 
like to read in general), don't miss 
the chance to hear this writer 
Tuesday night. 

The following evening Blooms- 
burg University will host a 
famous one-man show. On 
Wednesday, Nov. 5, Hal 
Holbrook will perform "Mark 
Twain Tonight" in Mitrani Hall. 
This is an entertaining and 
humorous one-man shovv that 
gives the audience a glimpse of 
what Mark Twain was really like. 
Hal Holbrook is Mark Twain and 
is well-known for his portrayal of 
this role. (Speaking of one-man 
shows, we have heard that Lance 
Sadlek of the Campus Center is 
busy in preparation of his own 
one-man show that will premiere 
off-off-off-off-Broadway. Lance 
will closely resemble the format 
of Holbrook and is equally spec- 
tacular. It will be called "Ernest 
Borgnine This Morning." This 
rumor has not yet been con- 
firmed, but we are anxiously 
awaiting the show's opening!) 
Seriously, if you get a chance to 
get on up to Bloomsburg on 
Wednesday, you should see 
"Mark Twain Tonight." 



took the opportunity to share the 
most positive, exciting, stimu- 
lating aspects of your own life 
with friends, colleagues, 
students? When was the last time 
you sat down with someone 
whom you respect and simply 
crowed about your most enliven- 
ing scholarly activity, your best 
students, or some new idea 
you've discovered? Similarly, 
when was the last time you went 
to a colleague and encouraged 
that person to tell you about the 
most interesting thing in her/his 
life at the moment? Or to point 
out something special about the 
campus that you'd not noticed 
before? 

A quiz for faculty: Close your 
eyes and envision the first five 
colleagues that come to mind. 
Now take a sheet of paper and 
write down their names. Under 
each one, describe their current 
scholarly concerns. What prob- 
lems are each most interested in 
right now? How did that interest 
develop? Where might it go? Get 
stuck anywhere? Why not go ask 
them what they're up to. 

We are fortunate, each of us, 
to work among such bright, ver- 
bally engaging and creative peo- 
ple. Passing a colleague (or, 
students, seeing a professor) walk- 
ing to class, do you see that mind, 
what it's absorbed, what it cares 
about? More than grumpy local 
politics, we'd bet! 



FLASH! Hot off the 
presses— we have just received 
word from our project manager 
that on Friday, Nov. 7 at 3 p.m. 
in Seibert Hall Auditorium, there 
will be a lecture. Leone Buyse, 
the assistant principal flautist (say 
that three times fast) in the 
Boston Symphony, also the prin- 
cipal flutist in the Boston Pops, 
will give a speech entitled 
"Women's Orchestral Careers." 
Buyse is the winner of the 
Sterling Staff Award and her lec- 
ture should not be missed by 
anyone considering a career in 
that area. 

Also Friday evening there will 
be a trumpet and soprano duet 
(you know, a guy playing a 
trumpet with a lady singing high 
notes) at Bucknell University. We 
will have more about this in next 
week's article. 

Just because the fall musical is 
over, the artistic world around us 
has not come to a standstill. You 
still have various events that you 
can attend this week. Don't 
forget our information hotline: 

Ext. 3928, if you have any ques 
tions about these events. We are 
here for you. Don't forget to pre- 
register this week! Until next 
week, that be the Arts!

ABOVE 
NOTES FROM 



Men and Women of Sus 
quehanna: 

Perhaps you have already 
heard? 

Monday, Oct. 27, was the day 
set aside by Pope John Paul for 
people of the world to come 
together to pray for peace. He 
especially urged those people and 
nations who were actively in- 
volved in violence and warfare to 
stop, lay down their weapons for 
one day, and pray. The Pope's in- 
vitation was ecumenical, for all 
men and women of religious con- 
sciousness without regard to 
dogma or tradition or rite. 

Let me extend the same kind of 
invitation to each of you who will 
be reading this column in the 
days ahead. Won't you pause for 
a moment and pray for 
peace— peace with yourself, 
peace with your spouse, peace 
with your family, peace with 
your rommate, peace with our 
colleague, peace for our culture 
so wrapped up as it is with 
violence? 

Here is a simple prayer you 
might want to use: 

Lord, make us instruments of 
your peace. 

Where there is hatred, let us 
sow love; 

where there is injury, pardon; 

where there is discord, union; 

where there is doubt, faith; 

where there is despair, hope; 

where there is darkness, light; 

where there is sadness, joy. 
Grant that we may not so 
much seek 

to be consoled as to console; 

to be understood as to under- 
stand; 

to be loved as to love. 
For it is in giving that we 
receive; 

it is in pardoning that we are 
pardoned; 



and it is in dying that we are 
born to eternal life. 
Amen. 

For the greater glory of God! 

Christopher Thomforde, 

Chaplain

Crusaders Rout Dutchmen 



The Susquehanna University 
Crusaders are off to their best 
start since 1962 with a 7-0 record, 
as they routed the Flying Dutch- 
men of Lebanon Valley before a 
large Parents' Day crowd of over 
4000. 

Susquehanna used the big play 
in scoring their season high 61 
points, as they scored on plays of 
62, 68, 76 and 63 yards on the 
afternoon. 

The Orange and Maroon 
struck quickly, when quarterback 
Todd Coolidge hit split end Rob 
Sochovka in stride down the right 
sideline for a 62-yard touchdown 
on the Crusaders' first play from 
scrimmage. Randy Pozsar added 
the PAT and Susquehanna led 
7-0 at the 1 1:53 mark of the first 
quarter. 

After the defense forced a Leb 
Val punt, Coolidge and Sochovka 
nocked up again for another long 
touchdown. This score covered 
68 yards and was on the second 
play of an 80-yard drive. After 
Pozsar missed his first extra point 
of the season, SU led 134) and 
had run just three plays on of- 
fense. 

On their next possession, the 
Crusaders marched 51 yards on 
nine plays to up the lead to 19-0 
when Coolidge connected with 
halfback John Lotti over the mid- 
dle with a 23-yard scoring aerial. 




The try for the two-point conver- 
sion failed and with 14:07 left in 
the half, Susquehanna held a 
commanding lead. 

Lotti added another score with 
8:57 left in the half when he 
scampered into the end zone 
from 5 yards out. Pozsar's kick 
made the score 26-0. 

Lebanon Valley scored their 
only points of the day on two 
Brad Rinehimer field goals late in 
the first half, making the half time 
score 26-6. 

Sophomore kick returner Joe 
Witt then put any chances of a 
possible Flying Dutchmen come- 
back to rest, when he took the 
second half kickoff 76 yards for a 
touchdown. Pozsar's conversion 
made the score 33-6. ^ im 1 
• Witt and Kevin Weber' added 
scores later in the third quarter 
with touchdown runs of 5 and 11 
yards respectively to give Sus- 
quehanna a comfortable 47-6 
lead. 

Punt returner Joe Coll got into 
the scoring column when he 
broke loose on a season-long 63- 
yard punt return for a touch- 
down. Pozsar added the point-af- ■ 
ter making the score 54-6. 

Back-up quarterback Rich 
Maley put the final points of the 
day on the board with a 10-yard 
touchdown jaunt, to make the 
final score 61-6. 

The Crusader defense was 
again magnificent as they held

Lebanon Valley to only 47 yards 
in total offense, marking the fifth 
consecutive week the Orange and 
Maroon have held their opponent 
to under 200 yards in total of- 
fense. They also held the Flying 
Dutchmen to minus 12 yards 
rushing on the day, marking the 
fifth consecutive week they have 
held a team to under 100 yards 
rushing. 

Damian Caracciolo was the 
main cog of the defensive as he 
made nine tackles, including four 
which resulted in losses and was 
in on a quarterback sack. Trevor 
Henry also had another fine 
game, making 10 tackles and one 
quarterback sack. 

Coolidge ted the offense with 
276 yards passing and three 
touchdowns, in completing 9 of 
14 passes. Sochovka, Witt, Lotti 
and tight end John Dogum all 
made two catches on the after- 
noon. 

The Susquehanna ground 
game was led once again by 
junior fullback Kevin Gormley, 
who rambled for 74 yards on 10 
carries, while back-up fullback 
Cosmo Iacavazzi, playing in just 
his second game after a knee in- 
jury, gaining 38 yards on four at- 
tempts. 




Rob Sochovka gets a Ugh five from tight end Andy Ford after his 
68-yard touchdown In the Crusaders* 61-6 thrashing of Lebanon

With the win, Susquehanna re- 
mained tied for first with Juniata, 
a 40-8 winner over Delaware 
Valley last week, at o'-O in the 
Middle Atlantic Conference. The 
Crusaders are currently ranked 
seventh in the Lambert/Meadow- 
lands Cup ratings, while Juniata 
is fourth in that poll. In the Na-

Association (NCAA) poll, 
Juniata is ranked fourth and Sus-

SPORTS CORNER 



Here we are back for another 
week of SPORTS CORNER, and 
I don't mean to say I told you so, 
but the Mets did come back to 
win the World Series, even 
though it did take them seven 
games. Despite the loss, the 
Boston Red Sox are still cham- 
pions in my book. 

Well enough about my Mets, 
let's turn our attention to the up- 
coming football showdown be- 
tween the Crusaders and the In- 
dians of Juniata College that will 
take place on our campus Nov. 8. 

Going into this week's action, 
Susquehanna is 7-0, 6-0 in the 
Middle Atlantic Conference, and 
they are ranked 15th in the na- 
tion, while Juniata is a perfect 8-0 
and 6-0 in the MAC. the Indians 
are ranked 4th in the nation 
among Division III schools. 

However, on Saturday, the 
Crusaders travel to East Orange, 
NJ to play the 2-6 Vikings of Up- 
sala, but the Indians must face 
the stiff challenge of defending 
MAC champion Lycoming. 

If both teams can get by this 
week's opponents without a loss, 
the winner of the showdown will 
more than likely win the MAC 
title and gain a NCAA Division 
III playoff berth. 

Leading the pass-oriented 
Juniata offense is senior quarter- 



back Mike Culver, who has 
thrown for just over 1000 yards 
in six conference games and 12 
touchdowns. Split end Mike Cot- 
tle is Culver's favorite target, 
hauling in 25 passes, including 2 
for touchdowns. 

Juniata's defense is allowing an 
average of 266.1 yards per game 
in the conference, while the 
Crusaders are allowing their op- 
ponents only 170.1 yards in total 
offense a game. The Indians 
secondary has allowed an average 
of 136.5 yards per game through 
the air, compared to Susquehan- 
na's 118.8 average. Juniata's 
defense against the run is good, 
allowing under 130 yards per 
contest. In comparison, Sus- 
quehanna's run defense has given 
up a paltry 51.3 yards per game 
to opposing rushers. 

Leading that strong Crusader 
defense is inside linebacker 
Trevor Henry who has made 71 
tackles on the season and has one 
pass interception. Other stand- 
outs on the defensive unit are 
strong safety Dave Reus, middle 
guard Damian Caracciolo and 
outside linebacker Rich Close. 

The balanced Susquehanna of- 
fense is led by junior quarterback 
Todd Coolidge, who is in his first 
year at the position. Coolidge has 
thrown for 1219 yards in 6 league 
games and 13 touchdowns. His 



fifteen slot. 

The Crusaders are back in 
action tomorrow at 1:30 when 
they travel to East Orange, N.J., 
to play the 2-6 Vikings of Upsala 
College. Then on the 8th of 
November, the Indians of Juniata 
visit Amos Alonzo Stagg field in 
a probable MAC title matchup. 
See the preview of the Juniata 
game in this week's SPORTS 
CORNER.

two favorite targets are split ends 
Al Bucci and Rob Sochovka, who 
have combined for 35 catches for 
697 yards and 10 touchdowns. 

The Orange and Maroon 
rushing game, which is averaging 
over 208 yards a game, is tod by 
junior fullback Kevin Gormley, 
who has gained 461 yards on 98 
carries. Senior Kevin Weber has 
also had a big year, piling up 291 
yards and scoring four touch- 
downs, including three of over 45 
yards. 

So, if you wish to see some 
good, competitive football action, 
make plans to be at Stagg field on 
Nov. 8 for this MAC title con 
test. 

Answer to last week's Trivia 
Question: Both the Chicago Cubs 
and the Brooklyn Dodgers lost 
seven consecutive World Series in 
which they participated. 

This week's Trivia Question: 
Rob Sochovka is only 76 yards 
away from breaking the Sus- 
quehanna career record for recep 
uon yardage of 1379 yards. Who 
is the current holder of this SU 
record? 

Next week well find some in- 
teresting tidbit of sports news to 
talk about. See you next week.

Crusaders Blank Upsala 



"It wasn't a Rembrandt," said 
Susquehanna head coach Rocky 
Rees; but nevertheless, it was an- 
other victory for the Crusader 
football squad, as they upped 
their record to a perfect 8-0, 7-0 
in the Middle Atlantic Confer- 
ence, with a 25-0 win over Up- 
sala. 

The Crusader win, coupled 
with Juniata's stunning 63-27 loss 
to Lycoming last Saturday, gives 
the Orange and Maroon the op- 
portunity to clinch the MAC title 
outright and almost assure 
themselves of an NCAA Division 
III playoff bid, with a victory 
tomorrow over Juniata, who is 
currently ranked number twenty. 

Susquehanna, which is cur- 
rently tied for ninth in the Divi- 
sion III poll with Buena Vista 
College in Iowa, got on the 
scoreboard first when halfback 
Joe Witt capped a six-play, 
32-yard drive with a two-yard 
scamper around left end. The 
drive was set up when a Kyle 
McKay punt was accidentally 
touched by an Upsala player and 
recovered by Dave Kells at the 
Viking 32. Randy Pozsar added 
the extra point and SU led 7-0. 

The special teams added their 
third score in the past two weeks, 
when Upsala punter Tom Thome 
was hit by Ken Jones, forcing a 
fumble that was grabbed in mid- 
air by Bryan Brust, who raced 23 



yards for the touchdown. 
Pozsar's PAT increased the lead 
to 14-0. 

Pozsar closed out the first half 
scoring with 1:51 remaining in 
the half, when he nailed a 
27-yard field goal to make the 
score 17-0. 

After a scoreless third quarter, 
the Crusaders finally found the 
end zone with just twenty 
seconds left in the game, when 
Todd Coolidge found senior split 
end Rob Sochovka with a 
23-yard scoring strike. Sochovka 
then took a high snap on the 
extra point and drove into the 
end zone for the two-point con- 
version, making the final score 
25-0. 

Halfback Kevin Weber was the 
leading rusher on the afternoon 
for Susquehanna, as he rambled 
for 74 yards on 13 carries, while 
reserve fullback Cosmo Iacavazzi 
ran 10 times for 34 yards. 

Coolidge threw for 147 yards 
on the afternoon, completing just 
nine of 28 passes along with be- 
ing intercepted four times. 
Sochovka, Weber and split end 
Al Bucci each caught two 
Coolidge aerials. 

For the sixth consecutive 
week, the Crusader defense held 
its opponent to under 200 yards 
in total offense as the Vikings 
were able to manage just 114 
yards on the day. 

Also for the sixth straight 
week, an opponent failed to gain 



over 100 yards on the ground as 
the Orange and Maroon, ranked 
seventh in the nation among 
Division III schools against the 
rush last week, held Upsala to on- 
ly 35 yards on the ground, lower- 
ing their season average to only 
54.9 yards per game. 

Leading the defensive attack 
were inside linebacker Trevor 
Henry and safety Dave Kells. 
Henry was in on ten tackles, 
while Kells made nine tackles, 
recovered a fumble, intercepted 
his fourth pass of the season and 
made a tackle for loss. 

Also having fine games defen- 
sively were Damian Caracciolo, 
eight tackles. Rich Close, eight 
tackles, a pass break up, and a 
quarterback sack, Chris Donato, 
one interception, a fumble 
recovery and a pass break up, 
Tim Fitzgerald, an interception 
and fumble recovery, and Joe Az- 
zarello, who also picked off an 
Upsala pass. 

With their third shutout of the 
season, the defense has not al- 
lowed a touchdown over a span 
of 182 minutes, dating back to 
the fourth quarter of the Widener 
game on October 1 1th. 

The Crusaders are back home 
tomorrow in the annual Goal 
Post Trophy game against 
Juniata, as they go for their 
second MAC title in the last four 
years. Game time is set for 1 :30.

Joe Coll breaks loose ofi a 63-yard punt return two weeks ago 
against Lebanon Valley. The Crusaders battle Juniata tomorrow 
and can win the MAC title with a victory. 

Crew Team Rows On 



It is hard to believe but if you 
want something hard enough the 
dream may come true. That's 
how it is for the SU Crew Team. 
A lot of hard work and effort has 
brought us where we are today. 
As of last week the Crew Team is 
recognized by the SGA as an offi- 
cial sport. With this new support 
we have more to look forward to. 

The most important project at 
this time is the crew row-a-thon. 
A 24-hour row-a-thon will be 
held on Friday, Dec. 5. With the 
funds we raise from the row-a- 
thon in addition to a generous 
gift of $2,500, we plan to be on 
the water and racing by the 
spring of 1987. 



With this new support we have 
more to look forward to. Present- 
ly the Crew Club is meeting at 
4: 1 5 every weekday to run, to do 

aerobic exercises or to lift 
weights. We have a consistent 
core group but we are looking for 
any other interested persons. You 

can join us at our practices or at 
the weekly meetings at 8:30 on 
Tuesday in meeting rooms 1, 2 
and 3 in the Campus Center. 

Please be sure to attend the meet- 
ings if you plan to be included in 
the Crew Club. Hope to see some 
new faces. Happy training.

And so it's a new week, and the 
nominations for "Person of the 
Week" have just been pouring in. 



PEP RALLY 

The Student Government 
Association is bringing back an 
old SU Tradition tonight. SGA is 
sponsoring a pep rally and bon- 
fire tonight at 7:30 behind New 
Men's Dorm. School spirit has 
never been so overwhelming as it 
is for the Juniata game. It is es- 
sential that all of us, students and 
administration, take part in the 
bonfire in showing the Crusader 
football team that we are 100% 
behind them as they go for the 
MAC championship. Please dress 
in orange and maroon and bring 
your pom-poms. This is a once-in- 
a-lifetime event — don't miss it! 



OK, maybe not, but at least we 
got one, so this column can con- 
tinue. That's just a little reminder 
to you all. Have you seen some- 
one or something lately that 
deserves recognition? 

Remembers, unsung heroes are 
our speciality. 

And now on to this week's 
"person" of the week. Actually, 
this week it should be "persons," 
because this week we would like 
to take a time out to honor the 25 
women who help keep our living 

areas livable and our classrooms 
classier. SU's cleaning women are 
an army in their own right— out 
to banish the forces of dirt, or at 
least maintain the dormitories 
and other buildings on campus. 
They arrive on campus each 



morning between 6 and 7:00 and 
work diligently through the day. 
Believe it or not, their work 
doesn't always go unnoticed 
(besides from the person who sug- 
gested this column). I've heard 
many students and faculty com- 
mending the hard work these 
women put in, and for those who 
don't, just think about who really 
picks up those paper towels when 
you miss the trash can. And who 
keeps Steele fit for those late 
night study sessions? 

While expressing our apprecia- 
tion for the work of our cleaning 
women, we want to be sure not to 
overlook the fine work of the 
floor and ground crews. 1 don't 
think anyone would want to face 
this campus if you weren't here.

A Troubled Greek 



November 4, 1986 

I am writing in response to the 
apparent negative attitude that 
the Crusader has taken toward 
the Greeks on campus. 

I understand that Greeks have 
the chance to have their voices 
heard in "It's Greek to Us," yet 
why must you deny Greek 
organizations the right to be 
recognized for their outstanding 
contributions? Arts Alive and 
Reverend Thomforde both have 
columns appearing in the 
Crusader — Are they being 
denied entry for the "person of 

Our Corner . 

Welcome back and thank God 
you all made it. I guess the mass 
murderer lost his map and his 
compass. Anyway, the scare has 
subsided, at least for now. Now 
let's look back a moment at what 
at least I consider one of the most 
ridiculous events of my Sus- 
quehanna experience. 

It begins slowly, with people 
whispering in the library. "I saw 

it " (Fill in the 

blank)— a) on Carson b) on 
Donahue c) in the National En- 
quirer d) other. Suddenly, a girl 
from Mini hears it and rushes to 
her little community — "We're 
sitting ducks over here!" she 
cries. Panic ensues and the rumor 
spreads all over the land. 

Even though this little village 
has heard the same story for go- 



the week," too? Granted both 
sororities and fraternities serve 
social purposes, but more im- 
portantly they serve as philan- 
thropic and community service- 
oriented organizations. The 
Greeks on this campus involve 
themselves in projects which aid 
abused children, the Selinsgrove 
elderly, crippled children, the 
Ronald McDonald House and 
Alzheimer's Disease research. 
Surely these worthy endeavors 
are just as important as the 
endeavors of other individuals 



ing on ten years, the fear is 
rekindled. With one-third of the 
people newcomers to the tale, 
there is additional fuel to the fire. 
But this fire is raging larger 
than ever. Fear grips not only 
this campus, but many local 
campuses (or is that campi?). The 
rumors have always existed at 
these other places, but never have 
the schools made such con- 
nections to each other. 

Kutztown calls SU to see if it is 
true we are evacuating, and 
Bloomsburg places a similar call. 
The running story in our village 
is that Kutztown has already 
emptied. More and more schools 
join the list, with Ship., East 
Stroudsburg and Lehigh be- 
ginning to get nervous.

and organizations on campus 
who may qualify as "Person of 
the Week." 

An example of this negative at- 
titude toward Greeks is blatantly 
evident in the exclusion of an 
article about the naming of the 
Outstanding Sorority and Frater- 
nity of the Year. The event oc- 
curred 3 days before the 4 pm 
deadline, yet the recognition was 
overlooked. The Crusader did not 
overlook, however, the equally 
important recognition of the 
University Scholars Award Din- 
ner, which occurred during the 
same weekend. 

Obviously, the University feels 
that Greek organizations are 
worthy of recognition based upon 
excellence in scholarship, com- 
munity service and University 
service, just as scholars are 



The local media steps in and 
declares it a hoax, but nothing 
can subdue the tension as 
students pack for home and wor- 
ried parents call to hear the real 
story. In an attempt to get the 
"real story," girls in Hassinger 
hold a seance and consult the 
ultimate powers that be: the 
Ouija board. 

Various results are reported, as 
the girls were surely terrified with 
this dabbling in the occult, but 
the word is it will be in Smith 
dorm, Room 50 or 59. My heart 
stops, that's my floor! I quickly 
grab a suitcase and throw in some 
clothes, dash to the car, and lay 
rubber from here to home (I was 
going home anyway, and that's 
how I always do it). Others stick 
it out, laughing in the face of 
death. Some even join to hold a 
party in the cemetery, teasing the 
forces of evil. 

Halloween night arrives and 
the villagers huddle in fear and 
anticipation. The night passes 
without incident. But wait, it 
could be Saturday night; after all, 
it's all the same weekend. Again 
night falls on fear. Again it passes 
without incident. Could it have 
all been a hoax? 

You bet, and whoever started 
it umpteen years ago must be 
rolling with laughter right now. It 
wasn't on Carson or Donahue, 
and it wasn't even in the National 
Enquirer, that ultimate source of 
facts. The real question is, so 
what if it was on Carson? Why 
are people believing a psychic 
anyway? If I make 100 pre- 
dictions for next year, I can 
probably hit a few, too. Does that 
mean if I tell you you're going to 
win the lottery youll drop out of 
school and wait? Of course not. 

The Daily Item and The 
Reading Times ran stories about 
the scare, and now don't we look 
foolish. All worked up over some 
campfire story and taken in by 
the spirit of Halloween. The only 
thing to do here is to learn. As 
sure as the sun rises, this story 
will be back next year and well 
have an opportunity to look 
foolish all over again. Don't listen 
to the knock.

worthy of recognition. Yet, the 
Crusader chooses to exclude the 
latter while including the former. 

I find this discrepancy quite 
disturbing. It is a shame that the 
Crusader, as a representation of 
the University as a whole, takes 
such a narrow-minded view 
toward Greek organizations. 
Your actions should be seriously 
reconsidered. The Greeks on this 
campus should not be excluded, 
either individually or as a group, 
from the "Person of the Week." 
After all, each Greek organiza- 
tion is just as much a part of Sus- 
quehanna as is each student, 
faculty member, administrator, 
club, team and other organiza- 
tion on this campus. 

Patricia J. Scotton 

Box 612 

/ assume you are looking for a 
response, so I will try to give the 
philosophy behind our decision. 
The Greek organizations already 
have one-quarter of the 
newspaper sectioned out for their 
use. In these columns they are 
free to write almost anything 
they please, and it is a well-read 
section. 

Yes, the Chaplain writes a 
column, but his is directed to the 
students, while yours is all about 
the organization. There is ap- 
parently no problem in ex- 



pressing feelings about the worth 
of your group since a sister 
originally nominated and wrote 
an article suggesting your own 
sorority as "Person of the Week. " 

I agree that the Greek 
organizations have many worth- 
while activities, but these can be 
expressed in the columns. If an 
organization would be nomi- 
nated, the other organizations 
would undoubtedly want to be in- 
cluded in later issues. This would 
occupy about 12 issues and block 
out the purpose of the idea— to 
recognize unpublicized events of 
merit. 

The Crusader does not have a 
negative attitude toward the 
Greeks. In fact, we have been 
bending the rules concerning "It's 
Greek to Us" since the beginning 
to keep from having to cut out 
entire columns. Lance Sadlek has 
been repeatedly contacted to alert 
the writers to the rules, but to no 
avail as yet. 

We are not attempting to 
launch an anti-Greek campaign. 
The only thing paranoia about 
this will do is create bad feelings. 
An individual who is a member 
of a Greek organization who does 
something outstanding, Greek 
related or not, is welcome to be 
suggested as a person of the 
week. The organization itself 
however, is not eligible.

A Scalded Student 



Dear Editor, 

I read your article on a weekly 
basis, and find that many times 
you answer questions in your 
article that many other people 
also ask themselves. 

I do not agree with Scott 
Mangol (Telecommunications 
Director) that the phone lines are 
even close to sufficient for our 
school. If the phone system is 
actually being used in much 
greater volume than ever 
imagined (which I find hard to 
believe!), then why don't they 
change systems— we pay enough 
money! I realize you are not 
decided on Mr. Mangol's infor- 
mation either— but his response 
to your questions, in my opinion, 
was pure B.S. 

The real reason for writing my 
letter, though, involves another 
problem here on campus that af- 
fects many students. 

Every morning I wake up in 
my comfortable warm bed 
satisfied that the coming day here 
at Susquehanna will be one to 
look forward to. As I climb down 



out of bed and make my way to 
the shower, I think to myself how 
good an education I am receiving 
here as I lather up for a com- 
fortable shower. WHAM!! All of 
a sudden I am drenched in boiling 
temperatured water and trip and 
fall as I try to jump out from 
under it. I cuss all the way back 
to my room and swear that I will 
not get burnt again— I will be 
careful next time. The next morn- 
ing I am burnt again without 
warning! Can you please try and 
enlighten me as to why, in 20th 
century Susquehanna, I could 
receive a better shower by going 
down to the river? 

Please respond, 

—Ray Ziegler 

/ don 't know why the showers 
are designed as such, except that 
it is probably an old system. I, 
too, dislike having to fear for my 
flesh in the shower. Perhaps this 
question will be answered by 
someone more qualified.

Notes from Above 

Men and Women of Susquehan- 
na: 

My words this week will be 
brief and to the point. 

I have been without a secretary 
now fow a few weeks and I see all 
too clearly how valuable they are 
to the proper functioning of my 
life as a chaplain and to the well 
being of the university as a 
whole. I feel like I am only func- 
tioning at half speed. Of course 
secretary's week is not until April 
but I encourage all of us to give 
thanks for and show our ap- 
preciation to those good women 
who keep the daily work of the 
university alive! 

Hopefully I will have a secre- 
tary next week and will be able to 
say more in this "Notes from 
Above" column. 
For the Greater Glory of God! 
Christopher M. Thomforde

Cross Country to MAC Championships 



The Susquehanna University 
cross country team begins post- 
season competition Saturday in 
the Middle Atlantic Conference 
(MAC) championship meet at the 
Gettysburg Country Club. 

The Crusaders, who finished 
fourth in the conference meet a 
year ago after winning the MAC 
title in 1984, will compete against 
23 other MAC schools in the race 
over the club's 8000-meter 
course. 

"This year's team is more ready 
than any of the others I have 
coached," said Susquehanna head 
coach Stan Seiple. "It is a squad 
that is peaking at just the right 
time." 

The Orange and Maroon harri- 
ers finished the dual-meet season 
with a 14-3 record, bringing the 



team's mark over the past five 
years to 74-8-1. Susquehanna's 
only losses were to Ithaca (N.Y.) 
and Cortland State (N.Y.) col- 
leges, and the host school for the 
MAC meet, Gettysburg College. 
For the Crusaders to regain the 
title they won two years ago, Sei- 
ple's top two runners, junior 
Michael Burton of West Orange, 
NJ, and sophomore Jason Rinal 
di of Stamford, Conn., must be 
among the first few competitors 
who cross the finish line. Burton, 
a Seton Hall Preparatory School 
graduate, finished fifth or better 
in all dual meets this season. 
Westhill High School graduate 
Rinaldi was Susquehanna's top 
finisher on two occasions, in- 
cluding when he won first place 
in the Crusaders' season-ending 
victory over Dickinson College.

SPORTS CORNER 



As everyone gets ready for the 
big showdown tomorrow after- 
noon between Susquehanna and 
Juniata on the old gridiron, I 
thought we would take a look at 
the 1986-87 pro basketball season 
that started last Friday. 

In the Atlantic Division of the 
Eastern Conference, the defend- 
ing World Champions, the 
Boston Celtics, will once again be 
the team to beat in the east. Led 
by all-everything forward Larry 
Bird and his superstar cast of 
players such as Kevin McHale, 
Bill Walton and Dennis Johnson, 
the Celtics will be a serious con- 
tender to repeat as champions. 
The new look Philadelphia 76ers 
will also have to be dealt with, 
especially if newcomers Roy Hin- 
son, Jeff Ruland and Cliff Robin- 
son can form a cohesive unit with 
Julius Erving, Maurice Cheeks 
and Charles Barkley. The 
Washington Bullets and New 
Jersey Nets have also made some 
off season acquisitions to 
strengthen themselves. The 
Bullets acquired Moses Malone 



from the Sixers and rookie John 
Williams out of LSU. The Nets 
drafted Dwayne "Pearl" 
Washington and traded for high- 
scoring forward Orlando 
Woolridge. The New York 
Knicks should also be improved 
with Kenny Walker of Kentucky 
taking some of the pressure off of 
Patrick Ewing and the walking 
wounded. 
Pick: Celtics 

The Central Division consists 
of two great teams and four good 
teams. The Milwaukee Bucks are 
the favorite in this division with 
the addition of center Jack Sikma 
and guard Scott Skiles to an 
already potent lineup of Terry 
Cummings and Sidney Moncrief. 
The Atlanta Hawks are led by 
scoring champion Dominique 
Wilkins and have many young 
players who will make Mike 
Fratello's squad a contender. The 
Detroit Pistons have added high- 
scoring Adrian Dantley to a solid 
nucleus of Isiah Thomas and 
Bill Laimbeer. The Cleveland 
Cavaliers are a young team that

could be tough to handle if 
youngsters like Brad Daugherty, 
Ron Harper and Mark Price 
come into their own. The 
Chicago Bulls, led by Michael 
Jordan, and Indiana Pacers, with 
Wayman Tisdale, both are good 
teams, but still may be a few 
years away. 
Pick: Milwaukee 

The Midwest Division will sup- 
ply a lot of excitement this season 
with the Houston Rockets and 
Denver Nuggets battling it out 
for the top spot. The up-and- 
coming Dallas Mavericks will 
also be in the hunt for the divi- 
sion championship. Utah, 
Sacramento and San Antonio, 
with Duke's Johnny Dawkins, all 
have a good chance at making 
the playoffs. 
Pick: Denver 

The ever dominate group of 
Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul 
Jabbar and James Worthy will 
lead the Lakers in the weak 
' Pacific Division of the Western 
Conference. The reason the 
i Pacific is so weak is because all of 
these teams must play the Lakers 
so often. The Seattle Supersonics 
will be an improved squad, 
despite losing Jack Sikma, but the 
only team that may give the 
Lakers trouble is the Portland 
Trail Blazers. The Blazers have a 
good young team led by Sam 
Bowie, Clyde Drexler and Kiki 
Vandeweghe. The Phoenix Suns, 
Golden State Warriors and 
Sacramento Kings all have a way 
to go to become playoff con- 
tenders. 
Pick: Lakers 

In the conference finals, look for 
the Bucks to squeeze past the 
Celtics in seven games and the 
Nuggest to knock off the Lakers 
in seven. 

Answer to last week's Trivia 
Question: Jeff Steltz, who played 
from 1973 to 1975, holds the all 
time reception yardage record 
with 1379 yards. 

This week's Trivia Question: 
Name all six players who played 
shortstop for the New York 
Yankees during the 1 986 baseball 
season. 

Everyone enjoy tomorrow's 
football game and good luck to 
the SU cross-country team who is 
competing in the Middle Atlantic 
Conference championship meet 
tomorrow.

Heading for Playoffs 



After weeks of anticipation, 
the classic battle for the Middle 
Atlantic Conference title took 
place, when the Indians of 
Juniata College arrived in Selins- 
grove to take on the Crusaders. 
When the smoke had cleared, the 
scoreboard told the final story, 
Susquehanna 21, Juniata, 14, and 
the MAC title found its new 
home on the Susquehanna cam- 
pus. 

Head coach Rocky Rees' squad 
jumped out to a 21-0 lead and 
held off a late second half rally by 
Juniata, to claim Susquehanna's 
second MAC title in the last four 
years. The win keeps the Orange 
and Maroon's record at a perfect 
9-0 and virtually assures them of 
a spot in the NCAA Division HI 
playoffs. It also allowed them to 
jump four spots in the current 
NCAA poll, which now ranks SU 
fifth. 

After a scoreless first quarter, 
junior quarterback Todd 
Coolidge finished off a 12-play, 
84-yard drive with a one yard 
drive at the 13:55 mark of the 
second quarter. Randy Pozsar 
added the PAT and Susquehanna 
led 7-0. The score was set up by a 
39-yard pass from Coolidge to 
split end Rob Sochovka, which 
moved the ball to the Juniata 
one. 

The Crusaders added another 
big score with just thirty seconds 
remaining in the first half, when 
Coolidge hit a diving Al Bucci in 
the right corner of the end zone 
with a 21 -yard scoring aerial. 
Pozsar's conversion made the 
halftime score 14-0. 

The big play on the 9-play, 
80-yard drive was a 24-yard pass 
from Coolidge to tight end Andy 
Ford, on a fourth-and-onc play 
from the Juniata 45. 

After stopping the Indians on 
'heir opening drive of the second 
half, Susquehanna marched 59 
yards on 10 plays to up their lead 



to 21-0. Sochovka, on a play 
reminiscent of his game-winning 
touchdown earlier this season 
against Lycoming, hauled in a 
Coolidge pass at the twenty, and 
spinning away from a tackle, 
raced down the left sideline for a 
28-yard touchdown with 8:22 to 
go in the third quarter. 

The Sochovka score proved to 
be the game-winner, as Juniata 
fought back to score 14 points 
and keep the outcome in doubt. 

Halfback Dan Crossey started 
the Indian comeback, as he broke 
loose on a 48-yard touchdown 
run, just thirty-six seconds after 
Sochovka's touchdown. Keith 
Watson's extra point cut the led 
to 21-7 with 7:46 left in the third 
quarter. 

Juniata moved the ball deep in- 
to Crusader territory on their 
next two possessions, only to be 
turned away by the stubborn SU 
defense on fourth down plays. 
Joe Azzarello batted away a 
halfback option pass from 
Crossey on a fourth-and-four 
from the SU 32 to stop one of the 
drives. 

However, with 7:51 left to play 
in the game, quarterback Mike 
Culver found an opening and 
scrambled into the end zone from 
34 yards out. Watson added the 
conversion, and the Indians had 
pulled to within 21-14. 

After both teams exchanged 
punts, Juniata forced Susquehan- 
na to punt with less than two 
minutes remaining in the game. 
Kyle McKay's boot was fumbled 
by Tim Kirsch, after being hit by 
Chris Donato at the Juniata 21 
and Crusader co-captain Tom 
Shoemaker covered the ball with 
just 1:30 showing on the clock. 

Susquehanna ran out the 
clock, and captured the MAC 

title in just Rees' second year as 
the Crusader mentor. 



Coolidge and Sochovka wrote 
their names in the Susquehanna 
record book with their perfor- 
mances on the afternoon. 

Coolidge, who threw for 255 
yards by completing 16 of 37 
passes, broke the season records 
for passing yards in a season with 
1774 yards, total offensive yards 
with 1817 and his two 
touchdown tosses give him 16 on 
the season, which is a new record. 

Sochovka moved into first 
place on Susquehanna's all-time 
reception yardage list with 1451 
yards. The senior split end also 
broke the single season mark for 
reception yardage with 567 
yards, after his 101 -yard effort 
against the Indians. 

The Crusader defense held the 
potent passing attack of Culver 
and company to just 88 yards on 
the day, but yielded 247 yards via 
the rush. 

Halfback Kevin Weber led the 
Crusader ground game with 84 
yards on 15 carries, while 




Crossey led all rushers with 102 
yards on 15 attempts. 

Leading the defensive charge 
was MAC defensive player of the 
week Damian Caracciolo, who 
made 14 tackles, including one 
for a loss, and had a quarterback 
sack. Also having fine games 
were linebackers Trevor Henry, 
Rich Close and Ken Jones. 
Henry made II tackles. Close 
was in on 10 tackles, including 
two that resulted in losses, sacked 



the quarterback twice and 
recovered a blocked punt, while 
Jones had two of his seven 
tackles result in losses and 
pressured Culver all game. . 

The Orange and Maroon play 
their final regular season home 
game tomorrow afternoon at 
1:30, when they look to finish off 
their perfect regular season 
against the 3-6 Lions of Albright 
College. 



Alcohol Workshop 



On Saturday morning 
November 8 in Seibert Audi- 
torium, the annual Alcohol 
Liablities Workshop was held. All 
the leadership of all the frater- 
nities and sororities on campus 
had to attend and other students 
were invited to attend. The 
workshop began with Dean of 
Students Dorothy Anderson 
giving a brief history of Sus- 
quehanna's alcohol policy. She 
said the policy had been of allow- 
ing no alcohol on campus until 
the mid 1970's. Then she said the 
university then allowed students 
of legal age to have alcohol in 
their rooms. Then the policy 
became even more liberal with 
the allowing of alcohol at open 
campus events. That remained 
campus policy until the mid 
1980's when a few unfortunate 
incidents happened making the 
university ban alcohol at open 
campus events which remains 
campus policy today. Dean 



future program modeled after the 
DUI program that would try to 
get student's to try to cut down 
on their drinking. 

The workshop continued with 
a twenty minute video presented 
by the national Phi Sigma Ep- 
silon. It showed the disastrous ef- 
fects of what happened to a 
brother after he had been drink- 
ing heavily at a fraternity party 
and got into a serious auto acci- 
dent. His whole life in effect had 
been ruined by the accident 
because of the severe physical 
and emotional damage done to 
him. The video also dealt with 
the severe legal ramifications for 
the fraternity as a result of the ac- 
cident. 

Next, Assistant District At- 
torney John Lencer, a Sus- 
quehanna University graduate, 
talked about the legal aspects of 
alcohol. He mentioned that the 
alcohol supplier is not liable as of 
yet in the state of Pennsylvania 
for the behavior of the person he 



supplied alcohol for unless that 
person is not of legal age. Then 
he said the liability for the 
alcohol provider skyrockets with 
the possibility of facing a felony 
charge. He also said that the 
alcohol provider faces even a 
higher charge if the person on 
non-legal age causes damage to 
someone else or property as a 
result of the alcohol because of 
some quirks in the law. He also 
mentioned that it is a mis- 
demeanor for public drunkedness 
with the possibility of spending 
ten days in jail in addition to a 
heavy fine. If any damage is done 
to property by a person under the 
influence of alcohol, then that 
person could face the charge of a 
felony. 

After some refreshments, the 
workshop finished up with a 
question and answer period for 
Mr. Lencer.

Dear Mr. Smith (SU Band 
Director). 

1 think some type of explana 
tion is due to the whole student 
body of Susquehanna University 
about the fact that the SU Band 
was not present for Saturday's 
football game. In probably one of 
the biggest football games ever 
held on this campus there is no 
excuse for the band's absence. If 
the weather was the reason for 
your failure to attend, I feel the 
importance of the game would 
have nullified unfavorable 
weather (a very slight rain). As 
you know, school spirit is a very 
important factor in college life. 
I'm sure there is some reason. 
Anxiously awaiting your re- 
sponse. 

Sincerely, 

Tim Fitzgerald (#11) 

Our Corner . 

Back again and feeling worn 
out. Last week was an ab- 
breviated issue do to a lack of 
material, but this week should be 
alive and well and a healthy eight 
pages. The theme for this week 
will be communication. The main 
thrust will be the lack of it be- 
tween students and administra- 
tion. 

Well start with a few ex- 
amples. Why, pray tell, is the 
University Catalog such a scarce 
commodity? I often like to use 
this little item to do such things 
as select courses, granted a trivial 
matter at college. Could it be that 
some of us where squeezed out by 
the disease known as voluminous 
freshmenous? Anyway, thanks 
for letting us know. 



Dear Editor: 

What's the deal with the new 
floor in Aikens lounge? Here 1 sit 
and I have a headache "this big" 
from the reaking obnoxious tile 
aroma! What was wrong with the 
old floor? Was it flammable or 
something? I guess as soon as it 
gets something spilled on it, we 
will have to run out and get a 
new one that looks exactly the 
same— as if the "identable" 
hallway and room floors don't 
need replacement! Was this floor 
tile craze all that necessary? It 
looks exactly the same as the old 
one. The only thing that changed 
was the design. To me that's one 
heck of an improvement. At least 
the next time I come down I can 
sit on a new tile floor (since 
there's hardly any more lounge 
furniture). 



Another such instance oc- 
curred when I arrived on campus 
this year and found I was living 
in a freshmen dorm. You see, 
Smith used to be a freshmen 
dorm, but I thought the concept 
was banished when it was opened 
to anyone. Now they say, "No, if 
the majority are freshmen, it's a 
freshmen dorm." Being someone 

who will be 21 in less than a 
month, I dislike: being told that 
technically I am : not allowed to 
have alcohol (I say technically 
because who are we kidding, this 
school has no real alcohol policy). 
It would have been nice if they 
had mentioned the possibility of 
such a classification last year 
before I chose my room.

Names withheld upon request 

OUR REFUGE 
AND STRENGTH 

The title for this article comes 
from the first verse of the 46th 
Psalm, which says in its entirety: 
"God is our refuge and strength, 
an ever present help in trouble" 
(Psalm 46:1, NIV). 

In light of this verse, I feel a 
need to share my experiences of 
last weekend, in order to give 
you, my fellow students, some 
help in coping with life during 
your stay at Susquehanna 
University. 



Anyway, thanks for letting us 
know. 

One final example involves my 
class only (junior). When we 
selected this school, we did so 
after careful consideration 
(hopefully). The school's catalog 
and information extolled the vir- 
tues of the trimester system. I 
bought it, and when I got here 
they dumped it in a year. 
Somehow I doubt it was a spur of 
the moment thing, but no men- 
tion was ever made. I have a 
friend at Juniata and he knew 2 
or 3 years in advance. It probably 
wouldn't have changed my deci- 
sion, but I felt deceived. Anyway, 
thanks for letting us know. 

The point of this all is that the. 
administration can talk all they 
want about how they are im- 
proving public relations and their 
contact with the faculty and 
students, but it is all so much hot 
air until they do something to 
back it up. Through our work on 
the paper we have come across 
many instances of reluctant 
cooperation. 

We are all supposed to be in 
this together. Join the team, ad- 
ministration, or well all go down 
together. Last year's planning 
document stated that the school 
was aiming to increase support 
for student activities, such as The 
Crusader. I haven't seen it yet. 

I asked President Cunningham 
last year what "increased 
support" involved, but he was 



Wednesday evenings at 7 
p.m. The Crusader will hold 
its weekly staff meeting. At 
these meetings the assign- 
ments of articles for the com- 
ing issues of the paper will be 
distributed. Also, people want- 
ing to help with layout, pro- 
duction, photography, and 
typing of the paper are wel- 
come to attend the meeting. 
Anyone who is interested in 
writing for the paper or help- 
ing out in any way should at- 
tend. The meeting will be held 
in The Crusader office located 
on the bottom floor of the 
Camous Center. 



My grandfather entered the 
hospital last Wednesday night. 

He died last Friday afternoon. 
Even though I was prepared to 
face the facts, the news still hit 
me like a runaway train. I was 
devastated. But I managed to 
keep my emotions under control. 
Why? I mean, I wanted to cry, 
but I could not. I am still upset, 
but I am going about my work as 
if nothing ever happened. Again I 
ask, why? 

Well, I felt that refuge and 
strength of God permeating my 
life this weekend. Many people 
lifted prayers to God concerning 
my grandfather's death. I honest- 
ly feel that those prayers to God 
helped me through this time of 



unable to answer. I have a sug- 
gestion that would help lots of 
people: a campus car! My car 
must be used almost every week 
or there will be no paper. This 
was never stated in the job 
description. My car has almost 
80,000 miles on it and if it goes, 
we're gone, too. How the hell are 
we supposed to get to Lewisburg 
then? Magic carpet? 

Granted, I have emphasized 
the negative in the column. There 
are areas in which the administra- 
tion is helping us all tremendous- 
ly. However, communication is a 
problem and if they want SU to 
hold its lofty rating of a year ago, 
better treatment of those who 
really are the school is in order. 
I've heard complaints from 
students and faculty, and without 
them, there is no school. They 
keep saying the tough years are 
ahead, with reduced enrollments. 
I'm not sure this University is 
ready. 

That brings up another issue— 
SU's present and future enroll- 
ment. Unfortunately, I'm out of 
space, so 111 give my views on 
that next week. Until then, have 
a good one.

prayers either. It was also the 
power of God's Holy Spirit that 

flowed because of those prayers 
that helped me as well. I made it. 
Thank You, Lord. 

It is all over. There is nothing I 
can do. I went home last weekend 
and offered what support I could. 

As I write this, it is a waiting 
game. Waiting for the funeral. 
Waiting to return to some 
semblance of normal. Later on in 
Psalm 46, the writer says, "Be 

still and know that I am God," 
(Psalm 46:10, NIV). Be still. 
That's easy. I have a test on Mon- 
day to study for, so I won't be 
moving much. 



Seriously though, I heard the 
Lord speak to me today. When I 
went out on my Acts 29 perfor- 
mance this morning, the weather 



was wet, foggy, and just plain 
miserable. It was like that all 
weekend. Then, late Sunday 
afternoon, the gray skies and rain 



gave way to blue skies and sun- 
shine. I experienced a temporary 
uplift. God said to me, "Life will 
go on. You trusted in Me, I heard 
you, and I will guide you through 



this trial." He has helped me. I 
am thankful for that. I am 
reminded of the last few lines of 
the poem "Footprints": 

"During your times of trial and 
suffering, when you see only one 
set of footprints in the sand, it 
was then that I carried vou." 

Amen. Thank You, Lord Jesus.

It's Greek to Us 



ZETA TAU ALPHA 

Welcome to the end of 11th 
week! 1 hope that all the sisters 
made it down to the house to 
read "It's Greek to Us, what 
would have appeared last 
Friday." There will be another 
copy posted today, just in case. 
Well, congrats are in order to the 
football team once again for that 
incredible win against Juniata 
last Sat. Good luck tomorrow 
against Albright in the final 
regular season game! 

ZTA would also like to extend 
thanks to Sigma Kappa for the 
flower and the delicious cookies 
as a part of their "Week of 
Giving"; how'd you girls know 
that we love cookies! 

Well pledges, get ready for a 
fun-filled weekend! It isn't a 
shopping spree, but your girls 
should be able to bring back some 
memorable items for the sisters. 

On a more personal note, Janet 
Delong and Vicki Halter had an 
exciting evening after the Satur- 
day night concert. Janet was in- 
vited to eat dinner with the band, 
while Vicki brought one of the 
members up to Lambda Chi. You 
girls sure do know how to have 
fun! 

"Most graceful sister of the 
week" goes out to Linda 
Hagalgans for trying to jump a 

12-inch footstool in the dark, and 
"most compassionate sister of the 
week" goes out to her roommate 
Phyllis Rea who couldn't help 
but laugh. And laugh. And laugh. 
The house was pretty mellow 
this past w-end. Bonnie Herb was 
"Gone with the Wind" while Kat 
Heller recited the screenplay. 
Laura Marr seemed to have lost 
her voice, along with the feeling 



in her hand when the car door 
was slammed on it. "Are you sure 
you didn't feel anything??" 

Well sisters, I won't be around 
this whole w-end (due to a road- 
trip) so please keep your eyes and 
ears open for more "It's Greek To 
Us!!" 

In Zeta Love, 
K. 



THETA CHI 

Note: Because of circumstances 
beyond our control, last week's 
article was not printed. Nothing 
relevant happened this week, so 
here's last week's article. 

Greetings from Spudland! 

Once again those of us at 
Theta Chi would like a chance at 
a bit of gloating. Our premier 
intramural football team finished 
their season with an undefeated 
10-0 record, thus capturing the 
intramural football champion- 
ship. Take a deep bow, guys. 

A big welcome back to brother 
Mike Hargadon, who took a 
break from shooting communists 
in the south Pacific. 

Monday night saw the unveil- 
ing of our new color TV just in 
time for the two NY victories. 
Also on Monday night Moraski, 
Castoral, and Hurley celebrated 
their respective birthdays, with 
Rod being the only one reaching 
the legal age. In addition to the 
TV a new video game system was 
installed. There goes our Cume. 
(Did anybody have it anyway?) 

The president's room was the 
official party room Thursday 
night. Not only were the hats on, 
but Stoner became the D.J. of the 
evening.

Some even had masks on! 

A contingency of Brothers left 
for Jersey this past weekend in 
order to party with some of SU's 
alumni. A good time was had by 
all. In fact, the Michelin man was 
seen running through Ridge- 
wood. 

Congratulations to the 
Crusader football team for the 
fantastic season they are having. 
Good luck tomorrow against 
Juniata. 

Also, a quick recovery to 
Brady. Shep is missing you 
already. 

Until next week, 

MeMe and Puck 

P.S. "If imitation is the greatest

SIGMA KAPPA 

The formal, oh boy, the 
Formal... What a night. A 
HUGE thank you goes to our 
Social Chairman, Dana Meyers, 
and Assistant Social Chairman, 
Paula Vincent, for all their hard 
work in putting the social event 
of the season together. Everyone 
looked simply mah-vo-las! 
Another big thank you goes to 
our D. J.'s, Greg Kasko and Todd 
Quackenboss, for the great tunes. 
Everyone looked absolutely fan- 
tastic! The Freebird Award has 
some new holders, and I'm sure 
you all know who you are! The 
Sigma Shuffle was in rare form, 
as usual (o.k., o.k., so we didn't 
have "1999" playing but "I've got 
a Crush on You" was almost as 
good!) Yes, the Daring Duo came 
through again... you guys must 
love Grey Squirrel! 

Congratulations go to the 
Crusader football team, you guys 
are awesome! Good luck to Girl's 
Basketball, especially Kay Czap, 
Nancy Stepsus, Lisa Eisenhart, 
and Jamie Forshey. (yes, some of 
our sisters can do two things at 
once!) 

I Our Week of Giving is going 
very well (you have to remember 
( that this is turned in on Tuesday). 
Wednesday night all the sisters 
are going roller skating, zoinks! 
Casualties will be reported at a 
later date. We are looking for- 
ward to our Faculty Reception 



this afternoon as the culmina- 
tion of the Week of Giving. 

And lastly, in Memorium: It 
was a sad day, he will be dreadful- 
ly missed by all. Ralph, the Fish, 
will always be remembered fond- 
ly. 

Well that's about it for this 

week. Oops, almost forgot: 

The definition of a friend; one 
who comes in when the whole 
world has gone out. 

Until next week-

KAPPA DELTA 

Hi again from KD! I hope 
everyone enjoyed the most ex- 
citing football weekend. I must 
say that the KD's were the most 
rowdy at the romping game over 
Juniata! Bobbi Rostiac looks 
great with orange pom-pom hair! 
Hey Lauren "I never stop 
smiling" Bodmer, stop looking at 
the wall. I was so glad to see the 
overwhelming turnout at the pep 
rally...too bad about the bonfire, 
maybe this weekend. 

We had a "BEST" party with 
Theta on Fri. to celebrate our il- 
lustrious titles as Outstanding 
Sorority and Fraternity of the 
Year! Dave Ringler's band played 

— it was quite a treat. Sue Can- 
none wanted Lauren to get up on 
the stage too, but the urging was 
to no avail. Did you see the 
"Alternative Beverage" sign on 
the Coke machine? For a while 
we felt as if we were at a high 
school dance —"boys on one 
wall, girls on the other." But 
eventually we all got it together. 
Much thanks to Theta for a fun 
evening. 

Saturday nite everyone went 
up to Lambda to celebrate the 
football team's victory! Keep it 
up this weekend guys! I've never 
seen Lambda so crowded before 

— but what a time! Many of our 
alums were up there too. It was 
great to see everybody. Funny 
how some people never change. 
Anne Dodsworth, next time walk 
over the guy sleeping in the 
corner. Who kept piling cups on 
him anyway? 

Well, as everyone knows, this 
Sat. is our KD Fall Formal! Here 
we come, Holiday Inn, riding on 
a little yellow school bus. 
Everyone is psyched for this great 
event.. .at least that's what I 



malm

heard. We wish all our dates a 
great evening and thank our Dj's 
for the dance music they are go- 
ing to supply. I love formals, 
they're awesome! Let's keep the 
place in one big piece, OK. 

There's not much else to say. 
(I'm thinking as I type, but I've 
come to a mental wall.) Don't 
forget to think about the nomina- 
tions and everything else. Get 
even more psyched for the formal 
and wish the football team lots of 
luck— would you like me to do a 
quick cheer? I knew them all at 
the game, but you wouldn't let 
me yell them! 

With KD love and AOT, 
OPUS 
P.S. Dana cheer up! Kevin 
Gormley feel better! Peggy Mast 
and Gail Friars, new friends? 
And Jackie Sorge, let's get work- 
ing on a new song. 

PHI SIGMA KAPPA 

Greetings from the Ave. This 
article is a compilation from the 
minds of Dennis "Buddha" San- 
siveri, John "Sid" Snyder, Mac 
Cobb, and Matt "Democrat" 
Walker. Anyway, hope you all 
had a fun weekend- things sure 
were different down here at 403. 
Most of the brotherhood went 
road-tripping, which left the 
house to Democrat, Buddha, and 
Mike "Bozo" Bendorf. Bozo's 
brother, Bullethead, visited, and 
we all don't want to meet the rest 
of the family. Gargoyles are neat. 
Brother Schnell, who recently 
received his electronics education 
license from Snyder County, 
came by on Friday to show us 
what he had learned. The Pep 
Boys came up and definitely lived 
up to their name... next semester, 
we get to party at your place. We 
would like to congratulate the 
MAC champ. SU football team- 
keep it going on Albright tomor- 
row. 

Tom "Darthead" Harrison 
could have easily earned the 180 
dollars this weekend on our 
Wake Forest trip. Dart &Sid 
went with Mac, Jim "Chip" 
Hilker, and John "Bonus" Fones. 
Believe it or not, Sid's little 
brother is a Lambda Chi Alpha 
brother.. .in a house with 20 other 
Bunders, but they are known on 
campus as "Flies." Bonus in- 
ducted himself as Pi Kappa 
Alpha's rush chairman for Satur- 
day night, and probably got that 
goober to rush... he'd make a 
great little brother for "Scooter,'' 
the bar keeper. Chip has already 
been asked back to Bonus' house 
for Thanksgiving dinner, after 
winning the courtesy award at 
Sunday's dinner there. 

We are really looking forward 
to some madness with ADPi at 
the punk party tonight.. .if 
anybody needs help with 
costumes, hit the Mustard Seed, 
or Sid's closet. 

Things to remember for this 
fun-filled weekend:

Mr. Foodface, created by Rob 
"Snoopy" Ancipink, made his 
grand appearance at dinner last 
week. Watch for him tomorrow 
on Pee Wee's Playhouse. Quote 
of the week from Darthead, the 
newly declared history major, on 
the subject of the American 
Revolution: "They wanted 
slaves, we didn't, so we kicked 
their butts." Ask Dr. Longaker 
for the interpretation. The Beast

SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

First off, I'd like to announce 
the new officers of the Penn. Phi 
chapter of Sig Ep: Steve Cook- 
president; Craig Smith- v.p.; Lee 
Hunt- controller; Ed Lopez- 
secretary; John Tourville- alumni 
relations director- Glen 
Burnham- chaplain. Congratula- 
tions, guys; I know well all do a 
great job! 

I'd like to congratulate the SU 
scalping football team for 
winning the MAC's by defeating 
those pathetic Indians of Juniata. 

Speaking of Juniata, I'm sure 
you all know who visited us last 
weekend... yes, it was Steve 
Cook's friends, Rick and friend 
Mark. They also brought up our 
good friend Jack who never really 
made it home. Jack did seem able 
to steal Steve's voice, however. 
Of course, Rick did have to make 
his visit worthwhile, but this time 
•t was a different window. He 
also slept in the house this time- it 
gets cold out there at night, Rick. 
Rick, if your mom had only 
grounded you none of this would 
have happened. 

We were also graced by the 
Presence of Dave Sweigard who 
stopped up for the Sigma Formal 
and to crack a few skulls Sunday 
afternoon. 

Upcoming is our formal, Satur- 
day night. I'm happy to an- 
nounce that all brothers now 
have a date, or should I say, at 
•cast someone to go with. 

To you pledges- the big day is 
Anting soon- so get ready. We 
know youll make a fine addition

PHI MU DELTA 

Welcome to the wonderful 
world of Phi Mu Delta! To begin 
with, the Brothers would like to 
congratulate Brian Kahan and 
Jim Harris on their being selected 
to Who's Who Among American 
College Students. That will look 
good on the ol' resume next year. 

Further congratulations go out 
to the MAC Champion Crusader 
Football team, the pride of Sus- 
quehanna; let's keep that 
undefeated record, boys. 

To begin the recap of last 
week, the assistance of Pledge 
Meaney was needed. He in- 
formed the writer that a lively 
bunch of Muds traveled to NYC 
to see our house band, REM, get 
in a little practice before coming 
to the Mudhouse Spring 
Weekend. They were hot! 
Another group will be on the 
road to see their warm-up band, 
OMD, sometime in the near 
future; there is a distinct possibili- 
ty they will be on hand for the 
early secured gathering of 
Brothers/Little Sisters this Fri- 
day. 

Phi Mu Delta would also like 
to inform the campus that our 
alumnus Bill "Chowder" Scherf 
will be getting married this 
coming December; our loss, her 
gain (I think). 

For those of you who were 
away the whole weekend., the 
Cowbabies took a tumble, and 
the mighty Giants triumphed 
once again; for all you Dallas 
fans, change teams while you still 
can. Along the lines of last 
weekend, we crowned a new 
king, the honorable Y.T.— 
enough said. 

As we Greeks all found out, 
this past week was Sigma Kappa's 
"Week of Giving;" it was a 
beautiful gesture, girls. 

And now, due to a lack of 
printable news, Phi Mu Delta will 
acknowledge our in-house Senior 
(At least he thinks so), Curtis Bar- 
rick, with his Senior Profile: 

Nickname: none publishable 

Hobbies: none publishable 

G.P.A.: not publishable 

Fraternity Position: Social 
Chairman (publishable) 

Age: unknown 

Behavioral Patterns: Childish 
to Medieval 

Major: Economics (unless he 
can find an easier one) 

Place of Birth: Even he doesn't 
know 

Future Plans: to make lunches 
for Timmo 

Hopefully next week there will 
be enough material so that we 
don't have to do this again. 

Before closing, two quick 
points: Los, the wave needs a lot 
of work, and Brian, in spite of 
your numerous awards, you owe 
Cosmo (not Cosmos), a vast 
amount of beats. 

Enough said, 

Bye

PC2 RECOGNIZED 

"World of Women," a half- 
hour show features on WGAL 
TV, focused on Susquehanna 
University last Saturday night. 
The show centered its attention 
on the PC 2 project held here at 
the university last July. 

PC 2, "Programming Com 
puters. Planning Careers." was a 
week-long "camp" in which 
young women learned about the 
use of computers and how they 
can be an advantage in the job 
market. 

Twenty girls, six of whom are 
currently Susquehanna fresh- 
men, from five states attended 
PC 2. The "camp" gave the girls a 
valuable chance at learning about 
computers, as well as a chance to 
make friends and have some fun. 

Speakers, such as Pam Grace, 
featured at the summer program, 
were also shown during the 
television show. Mary Cianni, 
Andree Growney, and other SU 
people were used in the filming. 

The summer program was also 
featured in the Sept. 16 issue of 
"Focus", AT&T's in-house 
magazine. The PC 2 campers 
wish to thank Pam Grace for 
getting the publicity in "Focus", 
and both Mary Cianni and 
Andree Growney for a 
memorable week. Carol Harrison 
also deserves some recognition 
for her help at the July program.

Selling" SU 



Susquehanna University has a 
new face in its administration. 
Jane M. Daly was appointed to 
the position of public relations 
and publications director on Oct. 
31. She succeeds George R. F. 
Tamke. who retired from the 
position of senior public relations 
officer this fall. 

Daly is from Debuque, Iowa, 
where she worked for three years 
as public relations director at her 
alma mater, Clarke College. She 

notes one of her most challenging 
duties at Clarke was the handling 
of publicity after a large fire 
destroyed four of Clarke's ten 
campus buildings in May of 
1984. 

After graduation from Clarke, 
with a bachelor's degree in jour- 
nalism, she studied at several in- 
stitutes for communications, 
marketing, and management. 
Subsequently, she wrote and 
edited for several publications 

before rejoining the "Clarke fami- 
ly" in 1983. She has also ac- 
cumulated several awards in the 
journalism and advertising fields. 
Daly said that she accepted the 
position here at Susquehanna 
because it matches many of her 



career ambitions. She wanted to 
work at a school with a good 
academic standing and a small 
enough population to allow close 
relationships with students. Sus- 
quehanna, she feels, is closely 
related to Clarke in the academic 
area, while also being slightly 
larger and offering more of a 
challenge. Daly is also impressed 
with Susquehanna's wide com- 
munity involvement through the 
project houses. 

While she is getting settled in, 
Daly says that she will be doing 
alot of listening and observing to 
find out just who and what make 

up Susquehanna. She is currently 
working on a publication pro- 
gram to try to "sell" Susquehanna 
to the public. She is doing her 
best to see that Susquehanna 
shows its best face to the public. 

Finally, she would like the 
University to know that she real- 
ly wants to become involved 
here. She would like to bring the 
world outside to the students and 

vice versa, so that the students 
don't feel as if they are living in a 
vacuum. If you see Jane Daly 
around the University, offer her a 
warm SU welcome.

SGA News 

The Student Government 
Association held its fourth 
meeting in Seibert Hall on 
November 3. With a majority of 
senators present, Treasurer Doug 
Carlson gave his report. He 
reported that there is $28,013.85 
in the SGA treasury. 

When the various dorm reports 
were given, it was reported that 
several windows were broken 
probably as a result of vandalism. 

On University Avenue there 
were reports of poor lighting at 
night especially around Selins- 
grove Hall. Dean Dorothy 
Anderson said she would try to 
alleviate the problems as soon as 
, possible. 

Next, there was heated debate 
among the senators over the 
university attendance policy. 

Some senators argued that the 
present attendance policy 
penalizes a student too harshly 
since some teachers will lower a 
student's grade by one grade if 

the student misses a certain 
amount of classes per semester 
and some students have perfectly 
good excuses for missing class 
such as a job interview or 
sickness. They also argued that a

student's grade should be solely 
based on the work they turn in 
and not on attendance and 
therefore the present system 
should be scrapped. Others 
argued that the present system is 
fair because the student should 
attend every class possible since 
each student had to pay expen- 
sive tuition bills to attend them. 
Furthermore, they argued, 
students would never miss to 
many days at a job in the "real 
world" without being severely 
penalized. Academic Affairs 
Chairwoman Trish Naumyk pro- 
mised to bring up the matter at 
the next committee meeting. 

In other business, the senators 
unanimously approved the 
Physics Club, a club open to all 
students interested in physics. If 
you desire information on this 
club, contact the SGA office. 
SGA President Jim Faust also an- 
nounced that he would be having 
a meeting in the very near future 
with the administration to discuss 
funding for the non-alcoholic 
pub. 

The next meeting will be held 
on Nov. 17 in Seibert Model 
Classroom.

Person of the Week 



This week's Person of the 
Week goes to a special group of 
underdogs — the SU football 
team, in honor of their outstand- 
ing victory over Juniata. Maybe 
we weren't the underdogs for the 
Juniata game, but I seem to 
remember way back to the be- 
ginning of this term, coming off a 
3-7 record from last year's season, 
when people weren't so confi- 
dent. _ 

Now, with a (hopeful) win over 
Albright in tomorrow's game, the

Crusaders can tie a Division III 
record for the largest turnaround 
in a season, with 7 more victories 
than they had last year. The 
record is currently held by 
Marysville (Tenn.) College for 
their 1977 season. Coincidental- 
ly, Crusader defensive coor- 
dinator Tony Iurelli was a 
freshman on that Marysville 
Team in 1977. 

Head coach Rocky Rees, in his 
second year here at SU, has ac- 
cumulated a 12-7 record, with the 
Crusaders winning 10 in a row 
now (dating back to last year's 
Albright game). Last weekend's 
21-14 victory over Juniata gave 
the Crusaders a 9-0 record for the 
year, and the Middle Atlantic 
Conference Title. This year's 9-0 
record ties a school record for 
most wins in a season...a win over 
Albright tomorrow will break this 

record. 

The SU Crusaders are current- 
ly (as of the week of Nov. 10) 
ranked fifth in the NCAA Divi- 
sion HI football poll and sixth in 
the Lambert/Meadowlands Cup 
poll (the eastern division's poll). A 
victory tomorrow over Albright 
will more than likely assure the 
team of a playoff bid for the Divi- 
sion HI tournament. 

Since I've already heard 
students planning on making the 
road trip to see us in the finals, I 
think it's safe to say that the 
Crusaders aren't the underdogs 
anymore. Congratulations on 
such a fine season so far.. .and 
knock'em dead tomorrow.

SPORTS CORNER 

Here we are back for another 
week of sports news, and right off 
the bat, I would like to con- 
gratulate coach Rocky Rees, his 
staff and players on winning the 
Middle Atlantic Conference foot- 
ball title with an impressive 21-14 
win over a tough Juniata team. 
Great job guys and good luck in 
the playoffs. 

Many of the students 
remember last year, when the 
men's basketball team made it to 
the playoffs. The fan support for 
the team was, to say the least, 
overwhelming. 

I hope that the same kind of 
support is shown this year for the 
football squad, as they go into the 
playoffs; and from what I saw at 
last week's pep rally, I am sure it 
will be. 

There is no real topic for this 
week, so I'm going to throw

around some tidbits of informa- 
tion you might like to know 
about. 

First off, we'll start with 
hockey, and who would have 
believed that the Toronto Maple 
Leafs and Detroit Red Wings 
would be battling it out for the 
top spot in the Norris Division. 
These are the same two teams 
that finished near the bottom of 
the entire league last year; as a 
matter of fact, Detroit was the 
worst team last year. 

Another surprise in the NHL is 
how well the Pittsburgh Penguins 
are playing. OK, I know the 
Penguins have a young team that 
has come together nicely, behind 
superstar of Mario Lemieux, but 
this is a team that did not make 
the playoffs last season and are 
now battling the Flyers for first 
place in the Patrick Division. 

Speaking of the Flyers, their 
top goalie of a year ago Bob 
Forese looks to be on his way 
out. Since losing his job to ex- 
Hershey Bear Ron Hextall, 
Froese has demanded a trade and 
the Flyers front office is trying to 
grant his request. 

Many baseball fans enjoy the 
off season just as much as the 
regular season itself. This is 
because of all the trades and sign- 
ing of free agents that teams do to 
improve their ball club. Here are 
some of the rumored deals that 
may take place before the start of 
next season. 

The World Champion New 
York Mets are interested in ac- 
quiring Padre outfielder Kevin 
McReynolds. If the Mets are to 
obtain the power hitting out- 
fielder, they will most likely have 



to give up outfielder Mookie 
Wilson, pitcher Rick Aguilera 
and a minor league player. 

The St. Louis Cardinals are 
also intersted in McReynolds, but 
don't seem likely to make a deal 
with some big name players hurt. 

Other rumored deals include 
Phillie pitcher Charles Hudson 
going to the Yankees, Seattle 
third baseman Jim Pressley going 
to Kansas City for pitcher 
Mark Gubicza, and the Dodgers 
making an attempt to acquire 
Montreal reliever Jeff Reardon. 
The Phillies are also making a 
push to get either Gubicza or 
Padre righthander Storm Davis, 
but the Phillies may have to part 
with outfielder Gary Redus. 

In the free agent market, Mon- 
treal seems to be in danger of 
losing two of its best players, as 
both Tim Raines and Andre 
Dawson have filed to be free 
agents, and neither one seems to 
set on returning to the Expos. 
Detroit can't allow catcher Lance 
Parrish nor pitcher Jack Morris 
to get away, while the Red Sox 
need to open up their wallets and 
pay catcher Rich Gedman what 
he is asking. 

Answer to last week's Trivia 
Question: Dale Berra, Ivan De- 
Jesus, Mike Fischlin, Bobby 
Meacham, Wayne Tolleson and 
Paul Zuvella all played shortstop 
for the 1986 New York Yankees. 

This week's Trivia Question: 
When was the last time the 
Crusader football team won the 
MAC title? 

Well that's enough for this 
week, 111 be back next week with 
some more pieces of sports info 
you may want to know about.

Wolff Presents Works 



Tobias Wolff, an award- 
winning novelist who combines 
fiction with life experiences as a 
solider in Vietnam, will share his 
writing experiences with Sus- 
quehanna University students 
and the public 7:30 p.m. Tues- 
day, Dec. 2 at the Charles 
Degenstein Campus Center on 
the SU campus. 

Wolffs visit is sponsored by 
the Susquehanna President's 
Fund for Excellence and the 
Pennsylvania Arts Council. 
There is no admission charge. 

His most recent collection of 
short stories, "Back in the 
World," was published with 
critical praise. The collection 



draws on Wolffs experiences as a 
first lieutenant with the Army in 
Vietnam in 1968. The collection

a group of soldiers about to em-

pop up at crucial moments in

X. Hola Evita! 

Hola! Just getting you into 
that "Evita" spirit! In case you 
didn't know, Eva Peron (the sub- 
ject of "Evita") is from Argen- 
tina. So, anyway, we've missed 
you! We took a little "forced" 
vacation last week, but now we're 
back, and boy are we excited! 
The cause of all this fun-filled ex- 
citement: "Evita." 

"Evita" is coming to SU (no 
kidding). I'm sure you've realized 
this by now. Unfortunately, if 
you have not acted upon this 
knowledge, you might experience 
great difficulties in getting a 
ticket this evening for the show, 
because it's almost sold out. But 
this is all part of the Box Office 
process when a Tony award- 
winning show, like "Evita" comes 
to a small, private university in 
Central PA that begins with an 
"S" and has a graveyard 
overlooking it. Yes, that's right, 
Eva Peron was the mass 
murderer. Kidding, we're just kid- 
ding! (Wouldn't want to start 
another campus panic!) 

In case you've purchased a 
ticket and have no idea what 
you're i n for, just c all us your 
Cliffs Notes. "Evita" is the life 
story of Eva Peron (a 1940's ver- 
sion of Alexis Carrington) and 
her rise to fame and power. Eva 
lifts herself from poverty to 
become the first lady of Argen- 
tina and is considered a saint by 



her people. (Hence "Eva" 
becomes "Evita") The story, 
however, is told through the eyes 
of Che, who sees a darker side of 
Eva. He sees her as a ruthless 
manipulator as opposed to a 
blesses saint. 

The same people that made 
"Jesus Christ Superstar" and 
"Cats" have collaborated to make 
"Evita." The play is told entirely 
through song. It is full of upbeat 
and dramatic numbers including 
"Don't Cry For Me Argentina," 

"A New Argentina," and 
"Buenos Aires." You definitely 
won't be bored during "Evita." 
And, our guess is, Arts Alive will 
be there in full-force selling 
refreshments during the intermis- 
sion. Don't miss the show tonight 
at 8 p.m. We'll be looking for 
you! 

Just one thing to mention 
before we say goodbye. Arts 
Alive is a very busy project, but 
we still welcome anyone who 
needs our services— provided we 
have the required 2-3 weeks ad- 
vance notice. Without a suffi- 
cient amount of time, we cannot 
give you the top-notch job you 
deserve. So this means if you 
have something planned for 
December, call us now! (Ext. 
3928) 

Just one more thing to say 
before our closing (we hate good- 



in which things gather occa- 
sionally, so I am compelled to 
return to it from time to time, 
without actually writing about 
Vietnam myself, which I find 
really hard to do." 

Wolff, 40, teaches writing at 
Syracuse University. He holds a 
bachelor's degree in English 
language and literature from Ox- 
ford University, and master's 
degrees in English language and 
literature from Oxford and Stan- 
ford University. He has published 
articles in The Atlantic Monthly, 
Vogue, and Esquire magazines. 
He also has received two 
fellowships from the National 
Endowment for the Arts. 



byes). Speaking of Argentina, we 
have heard from a reliable source 
(who just happens to be our 
favorite project manager) that 
Lance Sadlek is SU's very own 
Faulkland Islands expert. 
Holding this prestigious title, he 
is prepared to answer any and all 
question pertaining to "Evita," 
Argentina, or for that matter the 
whole South America itself. 
However, he is only in a generous 
information-giving mood at 
Artist Series meetings. 

And on that note, we leave you 
for yet another week. By the way, 
did you know that two of the 
favorite foreign films of China 
are "The Sound of Music" and 
"Rambo"? It's true, Bridget read 
it in "People." Until next week, 
don't cry for us, Susquehanna!

The Heat is On 



The results are in! The energy 
conservation project recently 
received the tally of the dor- 
mitories' energy usage from the 
month of September. Two of the 
buildings on campus have made a 
significant decrease in their 
amount of energy usage from last 
year. Those buildings are Smith 
and Mini. Due to the increasing 
costs of energy, the energy con- 
servation project is trying to 
make students aware of the need 
to be energy conscious. The cost 



of one kilowatt hour of electricity 
has risen from $.039 in 1 98 1 82, 
the base year, to $.058 last year 
and to $.063 for the current 
school year. Remember by taking 
part in the project you will not 
only be helping out the school 

but also yourselves. And, if your 
building manages to decrease its 
energy usage, your dorm council 
will benefit by receiving $.02 for 
every kilowatt hour that you 
save.

SGA News 



The Student Government 
Association held its bimonthly 
meeting on Nov. 17 in Seibert 
Model Classroom. After roll call 
was taken and the previous 
meeting's minutes were ap- 
proved, the various head dorm 
senators gave their reports. At 

West there was a request for the 
back door of the basement to be 
locked permanently. Also, at 
Smith there was a request for ad- 
ditional lighting in the bathrooms 
of the second floor. Dean 
Dorothy Anderson said she 
would try to fulfill those requests 
as soon as possible. 

When the various committee 
reports were given, Academic Af- 
fairs Chairwoman Trish Naumyk 
reported that the committee had 
discussed the attendance policy 
and there was unanimous sup- 
port among the members for a 
change in the policy. Several 

plans were discussed to help bring 
about the change. The members 
finally agreed on doing research 
on other colleges' attendance 
policies and then bringing it up at 
the faculty meeting. A student 
questionnaire was also discussed. 



If you have a comment on the 

present attendance policy, please 
contact your senator or call the 
SGA office. 

In other business, the senators 
approved funding for the Crew, 
Ice Hockey, and Economics 
clubs. The Crew Club will get 
$1500, the Ice Hockey Club 
$1400, and the Economics Club 
$250. The Operations Manage 
ment Club was also approved 
unanimously as an official club. 

President Jim Faust also an 
nounced that he would be ac- 
cepting resumes for the positions 
of manager for the Crusader 
Castle. There was a request for 
funding for the radio broadcast of 

this week's away playoff game be- 
tween Susquehanna and Wash- 
ington & Jefferson. Approval is 
pending on the decision of the ad- 
ministration to allocate any of its 
funds for the broadcast. 

The next meeting will be held 
on Dec. 1 in Seibert Model 
Classroom.

Editorials 



A Stinky Problem 



I'd like to direct this editorial to 
the entire administration here at 
SU. It concerns a problem that 
has upset myself and many other 
students recently. The problem is 

the horrendous air/health condi- 
tions of our weightroom. That 
dank, musty dungeon referred to 
as SU's weightroom contains 
some extremely unhealthy as well 
as unsafe features. 

There is no ventilation or air 
circulation, which causes a 



tremendously rancid stench that 
lurks relentlessly in the air, and 
refuses to leave. The heat gets so 
extreme that our bodies begin to 
flow with sweat. It runs down off 

of your body and onto the an- 
cient dumbbells and other equip- 
ment. This causes an unsafe ele- 
ment as the barbells become slip- 
pery from the large quantities of 
perspiration on the equipment — 
this is quite hazardous, and a 
severe accident can easily occur. 



Our Corner 

Welcome to the last issue 
before a much needed break. I 
have survived what some con- 
sidered an attack on the ad- 
ministration last week, but it was 
not intended that way. It is now 
either being considered or ig- 
nored. Either way is fine, I said 
my piece. 

Last week I also mentioned 
that I would express my views on 
SU's present and future enroll- 
ment. This is an important issue 
for everyone concerned with the 
future of the university. As we all 
know, this year's freshman class 
is incredibly larger than in 
previous years. Even with the 
space crunch, though, size is not 
the real problem. 

The problem arises when the 
standing of the school is 



jeopardized. We have dropped in 
our overall rating of com- 
petitiveness. Our ratio of faculty 
to staff is now worse and the 
classes are bigger, simply through 
mathematics. All of these 
decrease the academic attractive- 
ness of the school. 

This problem will have to be 
faced soon, as next year's class is 
already getting ready to apply. I 
would hope that the school does 
not make the same mistake twice. 
The view of this newspaper is 
that 500 freshmen is a mistake. 
Instead of raising enrollment, 
raise the standards. This was a 
goal of the planning document 
drafted last year, so let's follow it. 

There is another area of admis- 
sions that concerns me— the 
tours. Touring the campus is a

good idea, but having a tour 
guide who is spreading a lot of 
manure in hopes that something 
beautiful will grow is not. 

A week or so ago, I was asked 
to give a tour on science day. 
Before the tours were ready to 
head out, I was debriefed on what 
to show, what not to show, what 
to say, and what not to say. If I'm 
going to give a tour, I'll give it 
straight, and so should everyone. 
Fortunately for them, I was not 
needed. 

I understand that we want to 
put our happy face on for 
prospective students, but if they 
are going to pay $1 1,000 a year, 
the least we can do is let them see 
what they're buying. We aren't 
selling used cars here. Let them 
look under the hood. 

Well, I'm running out of 
material and time, so let's call it a 
wrap. Enjoy your break, or as 
some people on the staff want me 
to say, "The staff of The 
Crusader wants to wish you and 
yours a very, very happy 
Thanksgiving." It wasn't me, 
folks. I'd choke on the sap of a 
statement like that. See you after 
break. 

Editor 

One last quick note. We'd like to 
thank the ARA Staff and the 
Faculty" who helped serve a 
delicious Thanksgiving dinner. 
Everyone looked like they had a 
great time. And yes folks, I did 
eat a whole bowl of stuffing! 



Wednesday evenings at 7 
p.m. The Crusader will hold 
its weekly staff meeting. At 
these meetings the assign- 
ments of articles for the com- 
ing issues of the paper will be 
distributed. Also, people want- 
ing to help with layout, pro- 
duction, photography, and 
typing of the paper are wel- 
come to attend the meeting. 
Anyone who is interested in 
writing for the paper or help- 
ing out in any way should at- 
tend. The meeting will be held 
in The Crusader office located 
on the bottom floor of the 
Campus Center. 



Athletic Apathy 



Dear Editor, 

SU has recently become an 
athletic powerhouse. A key com- 
ponent of any winning sports 
team is school spirit and/or stu- 
dent support. I am astounded at 
the idea that our athletic director 
does not exemplify nor display 
this school spirit trait. For 
example: last year during the 
basketball championships no ade- 
quate student transportation was 
provided or attempted. If it was 
not for a certain Greek organiza- 
tion, student participation would 
have been nil. Mind you that the 
Greek organization footed the ex- 
pense on their own. 

Furthermore, the role of any 
coach should not only be as a 
teacher but also as a friend. This 
writer was brought up with the 
notion that when all eke fails you 
could always turn to your coach 
for moral and emotional support. 
This thought brings to mind a re- 
cent occurrence concerning a 
member of the varsity basketball 
team. This distraught individual, 
after being harassed by the LCB 



at a sorority formal, turned to his 
coach only to find that he was go 
ing to be benched for the season 
opener. 

In addition, with the new em 
phasis on a winning sports pro 
gram we find that certain essen- 
tials are not being replenished 
when the supply is exhausted. 
When such items as tape, foot- 
balls, paint for the sidelines, and 
chalk for the weightroom are 
used up there should be some 
concession made to replenish the 
supply. In conclusion, I would 
hope that some provisions have 
been made for those loyal 
students who plan to support our 
football team against Wash- 
ington and Jefferson. 
P.S. Arty such statement con- 
cerning the notion of "running up 
the score" is an embarrassment to 
the whole concept of any sports 
team. The suggestion of which is 
an attack on the professionally 
levied at the coaching staff and 
all the student athletes involved.

Steven Marino 



Peace March 



To the SU Community: 

I've been encouraged to write, 
but about what I'm not sure. It's 
difficult to express amazement, 
anger, sadness, fear, and hope all 
in one letter. Six other SU 
students and I participated in the 
Great Peace March on Nov. 15 
in Washington, D.C. The core of 
marchers had been walking 
together for nine months, calling 
attention to the importance of 
global nuclear disarmament. 
They left Los Angeles last March 
and picked up supporters along 
the way. We walked with them, 
and thousands and thousands of 
others, on the last leg of the 
journey through the streets of 
Washington, D.C, to the White 
House, and finally to the Lincoln 
Memorial for a candlelight vigil. 

So why do I think that you 
should care? Perhaps through no 
fault of our own, we need to be 



reminded as much as possible 
that there is a bigger world out- 
side of SU. The threat of some 
sort of nuclear holocaust is a big, 
but still vague, concept to us. 
When we were standing in front 
of the White House listening to a 
slate of intense and often impas- 
sioned speakers, we at one point 
became part of a demonstration 
to bring the concept home, so to 
speak. A simulated warning siren 
signaled the advent of a nuclear 
weapons attack. The siren echoed 
from the sound system as 
thousands fell to the ground, 
screamed, and huddled together. 
At first, I played the role of the 
aloof observer. As I saw the tears 
and felt the clinging hands of my 
SU companions, I soon admitted 
that, yes, I was scared! My fear 
and the expression of all those 
around were telling me that I

OUTING CLUB 

A few members of the Outing 
Club went this past Sunday to ex- 
plore Aitken's Cave, Siglerville, 
PA. Unique rock formations 
were observed by crawling and 
squeezing through many 

passageways in the cave. The 
muddy crew experienced three 
hours of full enjoyment and, in 
addition, became well acquainted 
with the families of bats undergo- • 
ing hibernation. It turned out to 
be a great experience for all those 
who had never attempted an ex- 
cursion underground. 

We will be having an im- 
portant meeting the first Wednes- 
day back from break to discuss 
and plan the cross-country ski 
trip. We will establish a date 
before we leave for Christmas 
break, so all interested students 
must attend this meeting.

Camp counselors, camp 
supervisors, cooks, as- 
sistant cooks, and food

It seems to me that there is a 
lack of interest in the area of 
publications, especially the year- 
book and the literary magazine. 
Working on either one can be en- 
joyable, even if you have no ex- 
perience in this area. 

A few highly dedicated 
students are busy putting 
together the 1986-87 yearbook, 
the Lanthorn. This year's theme 
is the River. The "patchwork 
staff as advisor Scott Deitch 
calls this group, includes editor- 
in-chief Amy Summerfield, 

layout and copy editors Patti 
Scotton and Lauren Bodmer, and 
photography editor Cindy Lain. 
The biggest problem the staff has 
found is a lack of interest. People 
are willing to take pictures, but 
no one wants to put the time that 
is needed into the yearbook. 

r 

However, some of those who 
have shown interest feel that 
there is a lack of organization. 
Between five and ten hours a 
week have been put in by the 
four previously mentioned, and 
they have done the first thirty- 
seven pages. Cindy spends her 

time sorting through lots of pic- 
tures to find ones with good com- 
position and good expression. 
The layout and copy editors find 
suitable quotes and design the 
layout of each page. 

The four work well together 
because they respect each other's 
opinions and are willing to make 
changes. Patti said it was a good 
way to meet people and make 
friends. No experience is 
necessary, considering the editor- 
in-chief has had none herself. The 
yearbook staff needs extra hands, 
expecially an artist to design the 
divider pages. Another problems 
that they had was a low turnout 
for student portraits. If you were 
one of those who didn't show, 
you still have the opportunity to 
have your picture in the year- 
book. Seniors should send a 3 x 5 
portrait along with their name 
and list of activities. Other 
students should send a 2 x 3 por- 
* trait to the Public Relations of- 
fice by Thanksgiving break. The 
yearbook will be out by the first 
week in May, and if you would 
like to be a part of this group con- 
tact Amy Summerfield. 

The literary magazine, Focus, 
which also comes out in the 
spring, is also in need of student 
participation. Focus contains a 
combination of poetry, short 
stories, photographs, and art 
work. If you have an interest in 
any of these and want to help, 
please see Gary Fincke. The 

deadline for submitting any work 
will be sometime in February. 
Working on Focus doesn't take 
much time, but it can be good 
fun. Keep a look out for 
newspaper articles for the next 
meeting.

CAREER CRUSADERS 

Have you ever wondered why 
you came to college? In the last 
couple of days, I have been in a 
sophomore slump, and have been 
asking myself this question. My 
roommate found the most ap- 
propriate song for me (and her). 
But the song was not enough so I 
decided that I would do my 
column (which I almost didn't do 
due to my slump) on the Career 
Crusaders. 

This group of seven students is 
headed by co-managers Mike 
Burton and Sue Stanitski. The 
main goal of this project, which 
started last year, is to prepare 
seniors for post-graduation. The 
project members help juniors and 
seniors write resumes and cover 
letters. At the moment, the 
Career Crusaders are busy calling 
seniors to remind them to pick up 
their placement files. Placement 
files include personal data sheets, 
a reference sheet, and two 
booklets that prepare students for 
graduation and jobs. 

Another goal of the project is 
to make students, especially 
freshmen, aware of Discover. 
This computer base program is 
helpful to students who are un- 
sure of a career direction. 

The Explore Program, directed 
towards sophomores, is another 
way the Career Crusaders help 
the Career Development Office. 
Over thirty sophomores have ap- 
plied this year for the two-week 
externship. Though no course 
credit is given, Explore gives 
students the opportunity to 
realize if they are studying for a 
career suitable for them. 

If the Career Crusaders don't 
have the answer, then they will 
refer you to their advisors, Mary 
Cianni and Pam Keiser, in the 
Career Development Office. The 
project finds that the students, 
especially seniors, lack motiva- 
tion. The members are willing to 
help answer questions about your 
career direction. Anyone in- 
terested in joining the project 
itself should contact Sue or Mike 
at ext. 3929.

It's Greek to Us 



PHI MU DELTA 

Hello again, and welcome to 
the wide world of Phi Mu Delta. 
First off, we'd like to con- 
gratulate the entire Brotherhood 
on being named to Who's Fat in 
American Colleges and Univer- 
sities, quite an achievement. As a 
prize, each Brother will receive 
two (2) pairs of Levi's 501 Blue 
Jeans, the waist sizes being at 
least two sizes larger than those 
we brought up the beginning of 
the school year. 

Last week was quite an event- 
ful one, we'd like to extend a 
sincere thanks to all the freshmen 
who showed up at our informal 
rush function last Thursday. 
Sardine-o-mania hit the 
Mudhouse on Friday and Satur- 
day nights. Many of the Brothers 
escaped the crush by heading out 
to the Kappa Delta Formal Satur- 
day night. Thanks for having us 
girls-it was, fantastic! 

Quote of the week was self- 
appointed for exclaiming "look 
somewhere empertinent" during 
the GQ section of the yearbook 
photo session. Sexist quote of the 
week goes to an anonymous 
Brother for "they should have 
separate highways for women." 

(HINT) He's rather large, kind of 
quiet, smokes about a carton of 
Marlboro's a week, has curly 
hair, a white and dirt colored 
RX-7, and he's my roommate. 
Sorry, anything else might give 
him away. 

Freshmen: Thursday and 
Saturday nights are Phi Mu 
Delta's Formal Rush. We hope to 
see you up at the house finding 
out some of the ins and outs of 
Phi Mu Delta (right Laf?) We just 
might have what you're looking 
for; pledging was the best move I 
ever made-no kidding! So c'mon 
up and check us out. 

Brothers, tonight is the big 
night. I promise the premier of 
yet another all-time great party 
tape. Be there or be the 
disgustingly over-used term a 
"loser." 

We would also like to wish a 
vast amount of good luck to the 
undefeated Crusader football 
team. Our best wishes to out to 
you as you travel to the 
wastelands outside Pittsburgh. 
Over-and-out, 
Harold and his typist

SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

Hi, welcome to my first ever 
entry of "It's Greek To Us," so 
please bear with me. This past 
week has been loaded with lots of 
fun activities. Our 'No Theme' 
party this Friday was a huge suc- 
cess. It's good to see our new 
President is becoming more 
responsible, on the other hand, he 
is becoming quite boring. As the 
evening progressed, the spaghetti 
crew ventured down to 312 for 
some late night fun and 
munchies. 

Saturday night we held our 
semi-formal at the Susquehanna 
Inn. Everyone, except Craig 
Smith, had a rowdy time. We all 
hope the gimper recovers quickly. 
The wildest couple award goes 
out to Eric and Suzanne for their 
primitive dance style. 

I'm proud to announce that as 
of last week, we now have three 
twelve-credit brothers. Way to go 
guys, I'm sure you'll enjoy the 
same class next semester. We'd 
also like to congratulate brother 
Craig Stoken for winning his bet, 
we knew he couldn't hold out 
much longer. 

Our Casino Night for formal 
rush went very well on Tuesday 
night. Congratulations to all the 
winners. We all hope those who 
attended had a great time. Don't 
forget that this Saturday night is 
our preference party starting at 
10:45, so make sure you come up 
and meet some of the brothers of 
the number one national frater- 
nity. 

We would also like to con- 
gratulate the SU football team, 
good luck this weekend against 
Washington and Jefferson. 

Well that's it, I hope I did an 
ok job. If you didn't like it, well 
too bad.

Quote of the week: Uhh, 
what's this I hear about... 

ALPHA DELTA PI 

We have a little story to tell 
this week.. .You see, I woke up on 
Tuesday morning, 8 hours before 
the Crusader deadline, with a 
severe case of writers cramp. It 
was so scary! My roomie had to 
go to all of my classes with me, to 
take notes for me (ain't she 
swell?). Well, as the deadline 
grew closer, we headed towards 
the Health Center. They told me 
that I either had mono or a 
sprained ankle, so they gave me 
actifed and sudafed. I took the ac 




tifed, and it made me sleep 
through my deadline. That, kids, 
is why our column wasn't printed 
last week. Sorry! 

Let's back track a few weeks: 

The Seniors had a great time at 
BJ's a few Thursdays ago. Any 
excuse to have our picture taken! 

Many people were seen 
dancing in the aisles at the John 
Cafferty concert on the 8th. 
Thanks to everyone who did the 
great job on security and the 
organization of the whole thing. 

Jenny Alexion will be pro- 
viding a shuttle service from BJ's 
to T-squared, to Lambda every 
Thursday night from now until 
graduation. But Jenny, maybe 
you should think about getting a 
bigger car.. .We've had a few com- 
plaints about the comfort 
factor.... 

Sister Zarra finally got what 
she deserved when she had to 
quickly acquire a taste for a new 
alternative beverage at the Sus- 
quehanna Inn last weekend. 
That's what you get for being so 
very generous Allison-a bowl of 
salt. 

Sister Joanne Kling is studying 
interior design. She is concen- 
trating on the technique of plant- 
ing plants in the carpet. It helps if 
she just got back from a punk 
party at Phi Sig. 

Robin McElwee had a little 
trouble with a tray in the cafe last 
week... but she knew that she 
could count on the services of the 
best cafeteria worker to help her 
out. (better known as Gretchmo 
Dell). 

We have lots of thank-you's 
this week: 

Thanks to ZTA for the pump- 
kin at Halloween -that was great! 

Thanks to Sigma Kappa for 
sharing their delicious cookies 
with us during their "giving 
week" last week! 

We'd also like to thank Lisa 
Welsher for helping us out and 
taking the pictures for the Panhel 
rush booklet. Your help was 
greatly appreciated. 

Thanks to Lauren Brod, 
Maureen Conelly and Karen 
Madden for the pre-party before 
the football game last week, and 
to Tracy Wonsidler and Adele 
DeBari for the pre-party for the 
seniors... you girls sure do know 
how to throw a party! 

We certainly never get tired of 
congratulating the Crusaders on 
their victories! Keep it going 
guys, and good luck tomorrow in 
Pittsburg! Well all be with you in 
Spirit! 

Well everybody, have a Ter- 
rific turkey day and 1-o-n-g 
weekend! Keep up your running 
5 miles a day in preparation for 
the long awaited Assasin week 
with those Bunders.. ..Don't 
forget all those new techniques 
we talked about, and whatever 
you do....Don't forget your guns 
and running sneaks! Well get 'em 
this year! 

See ya next time— 
The Roomies— ALMO 



PHI SIGMA KAPPA 

Greetings from the Ave. 
Another Monday night, another 
evening of great hotdog sales. 
Just remember, we'll be in your 
dorm every Mon. night around 
nine. Phi Sig saw another slam- 
min' annual punk party on Fri- 
day. The pre-party with ADPi 
was just as good. Last night 
began the week of formal rush, 
and we received many (hopefully 
interested) perspectives.. .keep us 
in mind tonight. We promise that 
Mike Ruziska won't make you 
stand around any longer waiting 
for food... he's been fired as chef 
after his stunt on Sunday night.. .1 
mean, how can anybody burn 
spaghetti? I guess anything's 
possible with Mike "Bozo" Ben- 
dorf as assistant. Yes, Bozo, you 
made this week's article... now get 
out of bed to read it. 

In the line of service to this fine 
community, we're having a 
Thanksgiving food drive this 
week to benefit WNEP's "Feed a 
Friend." We promise to keep 
Dougie away from the collection 
boxes. Best of luck goes out to 
Chris "Lumpy" Pluta, who's 
finally getting around to having 
his tonsils ripped out...maybe you 
can eat that T-giving dinner with 
Sue through a straw. Why hasn't 
somebody shot Gary Coleman 
yet? "Boom... boom... sh'boom." 
We need a stiffer competition for 
that Gamma Delta office, guys. 
Rob "Snoopy" Ancipink and I 
were hanging out when Snoopy 
introduced the action of cat food 
for tracers... and on that note, we 
bid a sad farewell to Dog... she 
was fun and stinky, but she 
couldn't fit in.. .I'm just glad I 
found a replacement for all those 
fun times. (Really, Sid?) Rumor 
has it that some members from 
the Dead played on this campus 
back in 1963...is this true? I'd like 
to know. Tom Harrison needs a 
haircut. You missed a really good 
"Galaxy Rangers" episode today, 
Snoopy. 

Heaven is a place 

a place where nothing 

ever happens,

OPUS 
P.S. Just call me "Alice the 
Goon" — everyone else does!!! 



ZETA TAU ALPHA 

Well, 12th week has come and 
gone, and for those students who 
have to stay here until Tuesday, 
just relax and enjoy the long 
weekend. First of all, Congrats, 
are in order to those incredible 
Crusaders!! Good luck against 
Wash, and Jeff, tomorrow and 
kick butts!! 

The ZTAs were very busy this 
week with their Standards Ser- 
vice Programs. Monday night, 
thanks to Deb Kopf, we learned 
about a very serious disease that 
plagues many college campuses, 
Bulemia; or hinging and purging. 
If anyone on campus would like 
more information on Anorexia 
and Bulemia, ZTA does fight 
against these two serious diseases 
and will provide any information 
about them. 



Friday, November 21, 1986-THE CRUSADER-Page 5 



Also this week, Beth Noble 
organized our service project to 

"Adopt a Smoker," for the Great 
American Smoke-out. We would 
like to thank Beth and all the 
students and staff that supported 

us. 

To our dear pledges, we hope 
you all enjoyed your weekend as 
much as we did!! And make sure 
you all get your rolls of TP 
finished... I know that I haven't 
seen all of them yet. And if any 

one still has buttons that they 
wish to sell, please get in touch 
with me. And how's your friend 
Maryester??? 

From our social department, I 
have a few bits of news: Laura 
Marr was the lucky recipient of 
the B squared award this past 
week.. .for her devotion to the 
great sport of football here at old 
S.U. By the way Laura, who's 
that sleeping in the hall? 

The awesome foursome (Bon- 
nie "bon-bon" Herb, Kat "french 
fry" Heller, Marge "listen to your 
pledge trainer" Cook, and Val 

"you're not getting a check" 
Hansen) made yet another mid- 
night roadtrip to that great in- 
stitution, Mickey D's. "Kat, stop 
playing with the radio and watch 
the road." 

We have a new sister among 
us, her name is Grace "An- 
namarie" Stewart and she will be 
gracing us with her presence. To 
my sisters, Linda "I'm agged" 
Hagelgans and Phyllis "Suisse 
Mocha" Rea, I hope you have an 
exciting "Thanksgiving Dinner." 
And in closing, have a good one. 
In Zeta Love, K. 
P.S. From the mouth of our 
President, "only 194 days until 
GRADUATION!!!!!

Well kids, here we are in week 
13, or is it 12? I don't know my 
mind is so befuddled! Since our 
article wasn't printed two weeks 
ago, we'd like to take care of 
some unfinished business (I 
thought, stupidity running ram- 
pant in my veins, that it would be 
printed the next week. Thank 
you goes to the brothers of Phi 
Sigma Kappa for a wonderful 
Halloween celebration. We 
always have a good time partying 
with you guys!!!

pointed as a Resident's Assistant 
'n Hassinger. Linda, where is 
your room?? On the roof?? Good

th ropy, Alzheimer's Disease. We 
had a Greek, Day, Gerontology

Faculty who made it down to our 
house, we hope you all enjoyed 
yourselves. A great big thank you

but share your courage with 
others. 

Until next week-

THETA CHI 

Hello Susquehanna, "where 
knowledge is good." 

Prohibition was imposed upon 
Theta Chi last weekend. Thus 
many brothers took to the streets 
in search of a party. Friday some 
were seen at Aric Wilsons and 
Saturday many had a blast at the 
Kappa Delta formal. 

New officers were elected last 
week. Strike up the band, turn on 
the lights, introducing our star 
studded cast. Mr. Dean A. 
-Turner will be turning over the 
Presidents gavel to Mr. David E. 
Salter. John Homestead will take 
over as Vice President. Paul 
Joslyn as our new Secretary. 
Treasurer will continue to be 
handled by Scott Shep, simply 
because no one could wrestle 
away "the books." Pledge 
Marshall is Tom McNairy. Rush 
Chairman Greg Moraski, and 
Tom Stone in his never ending 
search for relavency, was elected 
House Manager. Last but not 
least Mark Humphrey as Social 
Chairman. 

Congratulations to the 
Crusader Football team on their 
perfect regular season record. Of 
course we wish you luck in the 
playoffs. Go get 'em Jonsey!! 

We almost forgot, this will be 
our last article. We bid farewell as 
our apprentice, Scuba will try and 
follow in our fine tradition. 

Farewell 

Puck & Me

name first)

Reelin ' 



—Eric Diesel 



Martin Scorcese's "The Color 
Of Money" starts out great. We 
see a cigarette, and hear Tom 
Cruise's overdubbed voice talking 
about how good it feels to play 
pool. Then the camera pans up 
until we see smoke, just smoke, 
and the voice has become Paul 
Newman, and he's talking about 
luck. Wow. What an opening. 
Even the titles are great. I just 
don't know what happens from 
there. The movie goes uphill, it 
goes downhill, it goes nowhere at 
all. 

Let's get one thing straight: 
Newman is fantastic. Silver- 
haired and fit, he plays Eddie 
Felson, a once-famous pool shark 
who has now become a fastidious 
liquor salesman. He's gone 
straight; he looks at the world 
with hard, wise eyes because he 
thinks he's got it all figured out. 
He talks tough, like do all dandies 
who want to give the impression 
that they're dirty. But that now 
off-limits world of pool halls still 
has a pull on him... which is how 
he meets Vince. 

Vince (Tom Cruise) is the boy- 
wonder of Chicago pool-halls, a 
hotshot punk who plays a cham- 
pionship game. Felson watches 
Vince play, devouring the game 
and the applause like a strutting 
rooster. You can see the hunger 
rising in Felson's eyes, and pretty 



soon, Vince has a new job: pool 
sharking the East Coast with 
Felson footing the bill. 

When it stays in the 
clamourous, unclean world of 
pool halls and beer joints, 
"Money" is terrific. Richard 
Price's clipped dialogue has the 
sharp ring of 8-balls slamming in- 
to the hole, of pinball machines 
on full tilt. The people look 
awful, as they always do in those 
places, which only makes Felson 
stand out more. The theme, 
which is that the only thing that 
matters in this world is money, 
reappears in nearly every frame: 
money changing hands, money 
being fed into video games, 
money falling to the floor. I guess 
you'd call Scorcese's style "pret- 
tified realism"; and in scenes like 
this, it's very effective. 

But Scorcese can't resist the 
chance to turn Eddie's character 
into a Messiah. Halfway through, 
after falling victim to a hustler, 
Eddie undergoes the requisite 
identity crisis and subsequent 
dizzying montage of pool halls, 
pool halls, pool halls. Scorcese 
has taken the same ingredients 
that have worked for him until 
now, namely grit and greed, and 
made them his enemies. Eddie as 
a Jesus figure becomes a self- 
parody, and his "loss" at the 
Atlantic City 9-Ball Classic is as 
excruciating as any crucifixion 
would be. 



Cruise is arguably miscast as 
Vince, who's somewhat of a nerd. 
There's nothing underneath 
Vince's manic behavior, it's the 
kind of performance that's given 
by talented high schoolers who 
taken on the role of Macbeth 
before they're ready: too-hot, too 

wild, and no levels of emotion. 
Cruise tries, he really does, but 
beneath his strutting is emptiness. 
Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio 
plays his bitch of a girlfriend to 
the hilt - so well that I hated her 
and never want to see her in 
another movie ever again. 

"The Color Of Money" is an 
unworthy sequel to 196l's 
"Hustler." Newman in that 
movie was introspective and, in a 
funny sort of way, moralistic. 
Now he's become a self-parody, 
and it's to his credit that he's the 
only person who emerges from 
"Money" with dignity. 

Cinematographei Michael 
Ballhaus' camerawork is 
interesting for five minutes, then 
his endless panning and quick 
cutaways give a viewer headache 
and whiplash. Maybe it's like 
this: Martin Scorcese figures that 
if he tosses the camera, the script, 
and the actors around often 
enough, then he'll become the 
Master he's being called.

Roundtable Will Help You Succeed 



Do you want to show others 
that you are a knowledgeable per- 
son? Do you want potential 
employers to know that you are a 
person who is up-to-date on 
world events? If you said "yes" to 
either question, you will want to 
participate in the Exxon Public 
Policy Roundtable. 

The Roundtable is a group of 
students who discuss national 
and world events— events that 
will become important once you 
leave SU. 

Your participation in the 
Roundtable could be your step- 
ping stone to success. It shows 
that you are a person who cares 
about important events that af- 
fect your world, and that you are 
not afraid to voice your opinion. 
It also shows recruiters and other 
universities that Susquehanna is 
a dynamic, creative and con- 
cerned school. 

The Roundtable will hold its 
second discussion session on 
Wednesday, Dec. 3 at 7:15. Our 
topic will be on our nation's 
welfare system. Is our welfare 
system a way of helping the 
needy, or is it just a way of giving 
a handout? Is "workfare"— a 
system where welfare recipients 
work for their benefits— a better 
program? We would like to hear 
your opinion. 



While all students are invited 
to come to any particular session, 
interested students are invited to 
become members of Roundtable 
association. Members decide the 
subjects for discussion, the for- 
mat, the times at which they are 



novative programs for the 
Roundtable to undertake. The 
Roundtable meets, on the 
average, once every month. If 
you would like further informa- 
tion, call Tom Haines at 3 1 50 or 
Paul Kopey at 3257.

NOTES FROM 



Men and Women of Susquehan- 
na: 

My sense is that we are in a 
time of mixed feelings and emo- 
tions at this point in the semester. 

We are riding high on the vic- 
tories of the football team but 
pressured by the many papers 
and examinations and as- 
signments which need to be done 
quickly. We are excited about the 
prospects of Thanksgiving break 
and the images of sleeping in and 
being with family which the vaca- 
tion period may mean to us. Yet 
some of us are terribly disap- 
pointed in the way our relation- 
ships with roommates, col- 
leagues, girlfriends, and 
boyfriends have turned out or in 
the way some of our group or 
activities have developed. We 
had hoped for so much more 
when we came in August than we 
are experiencing now. 

Being so pushed and pulled, so 
elated and depressed we easily 
lose our sense of direction, our 



sense of purpose, our sense of 
worth. 

Let me invite you, therefore, to 
take part in one of the variety of 
worship experiences which are 
available to us here at the Univer- 
sity or the Roman Catholic, Pro- 
testant, and Jewish congregations 
in Selinsgrove and Sunbury. Yes, 
I invite you to worship not out a 
sense of desperation or escape 
from the reality of your life and 
mine but because worship, at its 
best, helps us understand what 
our worth as individuals and as a 
community is. The word worship 
comes from an older word mean- 
ing "worth-ship," that act 
through which we discover our 
worth and celebrate it. Worship 
invites you and me to gather the 
scattered forces of our lives and 
focus them in ways of health, and 
meaning in life. See you Sunday 
at 1 1:00 a.m. in Weber Chapel! 
For the greater glory of God! 
Christopher M. Thomforde, 
Chaplain

A non-profit organisation 



Rather than responding to a 
letter this week, we have selected 
a topic for illumination: BURN- 
OUT. 

It seems we are all feeling the 
effects of non-interrupted 
teaching, studying, leading, par- 
ticipating, doing, doing, doing! I 
am saddened by the conse- 
quences of this unbalance in our 
collective college lives: the escape 
into TV, relationships, alcohol, 
and the struggling which leads to 
ulcers, fatigue, loneliness, fear 
and guilt. 

Just the other day I felt under 
enormous pressure. There was so 
much I wanted to do or felt I had 
to do, and I believed there just 
wasn't enough time to either do it 
all, or do it all the way I wanted it 
done - better than well! I wanted 
to run, and I wanted to dig deeper 
inside for the energy to tackle it 
all. 



Instead of fleeing or fighting, I 
gave myself fifteen minutes at the 
river on the Isle of Q. It was a 
gorgeous day. I soaked up the 
beauty and peace, and let go of all 
of my worries. Just BEING, for a 
while, really helped. It was a very 
nice gift to myself. 

Besides letting go of my wor- 
ries or beliefs about all I had to 
do, that I had to do it all well, and 
what would happen if I didn't get 
it all done, I was reminded of two 
things. First, the beautiful day 
and scenery reminded me that life 
is beauty-full, if you take the time 
to look at it. And the river flow- 
ing along reminded me that life is 
a process. The "getting to" goals 
is as much a part of life as 
reaching goals. I had been focus- 
ing too much on the end pro- 
ducts, achievements and results 
(the future). And, I had been 
focusing too little on what I was 
learning, giving and receiving, ex-

didn't like this at all. The sight of 
stifled human potential, and 
ultimately its elimination, is total- 
ly unacceptable to me! 

I'm using my experience to ex- 
emplify how the potentially 
destructive political, economic, 
and social direction of our 
country's government was made 
real to me. Being surrounded by 
thousands and thousands of 
other human beings with a com- 
mon focus made me forget the in- 
dividual that I am as my voice 

became part of a larger one. This 
continued for awhile until one 
person caught my eye. As I 
moved closer, I thought of all the 
times I had heard this man sing- 
ing on my Peter, Paul, and Mary 

albums. So, there was Peter Yar- 
row giving me a hug, and me feel- 
ing like an individual com- 
municating with just another in- 
dividual committed to making a 
peaceful world. The thousands of 
people became more than a 



crowd protesting for a nuclear 
freeze; I saw individuals from Dr. 
Carl Sagan, senators and con- 
gressmen, Dr. Benjamin Spock, 

Daniel Ellsberg, Pete Seeger, 
Reverend Jeese Jackson, Casey 
Kasem, Lindsey Wagner, and 
survivors of Hiroshima to un- 
familiar men, women, and 
children all bursting with human 
potential and the will to create a 
non-violent focus for positive 
change. 

I share this because it is my 
wish for all of us to challenge 
ourselves to find what is a direct 
threat to us individually. I share 
this not to make you see things 
my way, but to encourage you to 
be made aware of how YOU see 
things. Our responsibility to each 

other, our planet, and ourselves is 
the "why." The "how" must be 
made real to you and me in some 
way. I believe this "how," like 
any other process, begins with 
awarness. As peace marchers last

I believe one of the most ef- 
fective strategies for dealing with 
burnout is this proverbial "stop- 
ping and smelling the roses" now 
and then. I think the University 
could do this more often. Perhaps 
we could implement a Fall Break, 
to give us time to be, or do, in 
nonachieving ways, as Spring 
Break does. I am quite sure each 

of us could "afford" a break, and 
would probably achieve or ac- 
complish just as much (perhaps 
more) with a little more balance 
in our lives. Perhaps a break 
would help prevent some burn-

than recovering from burnout.

Another rumor, very popular 
among the freshman class, seems 
to be floating around campus. 
Contrary to popular belief, the 
Academic Standing Committee 
will not be dismissing freshmen 
because of low GPA's (due to the 
size of the class). 

The Academic Standing Com- 
mittee determines the rules of 
academic probation and is made 
up of Dean Anderson, Dr. 
Chrysler, Alex Smith, and a 
faculty representative from each 
of the five divisions. The 
guidelines for dismissal are found 
in the student handbook but 



basically consist of: if the student 
has 20 academic deficiencies 
(roughly a .75 GPA) or if the stu- 
dent is on probation over a year 
without taking care of deficien- 
cies. The mid-semester grades 
were sent out as a warning to let 
students know where their weak 
points are. Fortunately, the com- 
mittee is reluctant to act abrupt- 
ly- 

Alex Smith, Registrar, has 
stated that there is no different 
behavior because of more 
students; "This year's freshmen 
will be held to the same 
standards; not higher or lower."

Winter Sports: Let The Season Begin 



The 1986-87 Susquehanna 
winter sports season begins two 
weeks from today with games for 
both the men's and women's 
basketball teams and a match for 
the Crusader wrestlers. 

An early-season trip to Cali- 
fornia should be a good indicator 
of how the men's basketball team 
will perform while the successful 
women's squad will strive to 
reach the National Collegiate 
Athletic Assocation (NCAA) 
Division III Tournament for the 
sixth straight campaign. The 
Crusader swim teams should be 
better than ever and the Orange 
and Maroon wrestlers face a 
rebuilding year. 

The men's basketball outfit 
opens defense of its Middle 
Atlantic Conference (MAQ- 
Northwest League title Nov. 22 
in its season opener at Lycoming. 
After a non-conference game at 
Lock Haven three days later, the 
Crusader cagers will spend the 

Thanksgiving holiday in the 
Golden State. While on the West 
Coast, head coach Donald J. 
Harnum's club will face three 



Division II schools in a tourna- 
ment at Chapman College and 
also take on Division I Loyola 
Marymount in Los Angeles. 

Harnum, whose 1985-86 team 
was the best in school history, 
posting a 22-8 record and ad- 
vancing all the way to the Divi- 
sion III quarterfinals, must count 
on 6-foot-6 center Bruce Merit 
linger of North Plainfield, NJ, to 
blossom into one of the MAC's 
premier players. 

Merklinger, a senior and this 
year's captain, averaged 14.4 
points and 9.3 rebounds per game 
last season to earn a spot on the 
MAC-Northern Division All-Star 
second team. 

Last year at this time, Lady 
Crusader basketball coach Tom 
Diehl was wondering how to 
replace all-time leading scorer 
Deb Yeasted of the Class of 1 985. 
Now, he is pondering who will fill 
the shoes of Class of 1986 
graduate Sandy Bartle, who filled 
Yeasted's role of team and 
scoring leader admirably, as she 
led the team to a 17-6 mark and 
an appearance in the Division III 
Great Lakes Regional. 



Diehl is expecting stellar 
seasons from captain Beth Noble 
of Altoona, Pa., and junior Kay 
Czap of Williamsport, Pa. The 
5-foot 1 1 Noble, a senior center, 
finished 1985-86 as the Lady 
Crusaders' second-leading scorer 
behind Bartle with a 9.7 points 
per game average and also 
grabbed 5.7 rebounds an outing. 
Czap, a 5-foot-5 guard, was third 
in scoring with a 9.6 average and 
was the runner-up in assists with 
80. 

The Lady Crusaders also open 
their 1986-87 schedule Nov. 22 
by hosting Muhlenberg at O.W. 
Houts Gymnasium. 

Charles Kunes is back for his 
21st year as head wrestling coach 
as Susquehanna begins its third 
decade of intercollegiate wres- 
tling. After losing two-time MAC 
champion Steve Deckard, Sus- 
quehanna career victory leader 
Ken Peifer and last year's MAC 
runner-up at heavyweight Steve 
Walter all to graduation, the 
elder statesman of Crusader 
coaches has some major 
rebuilding to do.

SU Spirit Applauded 



To most college students, the 
subject of sports is of trivial con- 
cern. Sure, there are the football 
fanatics and basketball buffs who 
tune into their favorite team's 
games every week on the tube. 
But these people are mere 
spectators-not real "fans." 

In the past years, Susquehanna 
University has excelled in sports. 
The Boy's Basketball team won 
the MAC's and competed in the 
finals, the track team won its title 
and sent some members on to the 
nationals, and at the present the 
football team has caught nation- 
wide attention as being ranked 
fourth in Division III and in win- 
ning its conference in an 
(undefeated season. 
Nonetheless, it is with the en- 
thusiasm of the students, faculty 
and other supporters who have 
spurred these teams on to attain a 
great glory. Winning may not be 
considered everything, but these 
three teams have proven over the 
'ast year that it is attainable. 

It all started last year with the 
men's basketball team clinching 
the MAC's. A large portion of 
the student body turned out at 
every home game to cheer the 
Crusaders on to victory. And 
how sweet it was when the 
mighty hoopsters moved on to 
Play in the quarter and semi- 
finals in the Div. Ill Atlantic 
Conference. During all of the 

games in the finals, students and 
faculty travelled great distances 
t0 watch the basketball team in 
fction. Banners, signs and some 
I°ud voices were heard and seen 
a ' all of the games. (Some of the 



SU fans even appeared for a few 
seconds on the evenings news). 

As the football team is prepar- 
ing to embark into a superbowl of 
its own, support from the student 
body could not be any greater. 
Walking back from the Campus 
Center a number of "SU is #1 !"or 
"GO SU" signs are visible. Many 
students who do not even enjoy 
watching football have been get- 
ting into the spirit of supporting 
the football team. There is a uni- 
fying spirit apparent here at S.U. 
right now. It doesn't matter what 



or if a person belongs to a Greek 
organization, or an athletic team 
at school. Everyone is expressing 
enthusiasm and pride for the 
overall success achieved by the 
football team this fall. This 

weekend's game should prove to 
be an example of the dedication 
this school has been giving the 
team in the past several weeks. 
Hopefully, this school spirit will 
contribute to a winning result 
tomorrow on the playing field.

Spikes — Co-ed Volleyball 



Watch out Varsity Volley- 
bailers, we got some "Awesome" 
intramural players. Since it would 
take too long to list every star on 
every team, 111 just fill you in on 
some of the highlights. In Divi- 
sion I, the "Netters," Sig Ep I, 
and "Sandy Pants, starring 
"Hubey," led the division, with a 
close second by "Booper's 
Troopers" and the "Diehards." 
Believe it or not, our faculty 
teams are really putting everyone 
to the test. Dr. McGrath is in our 
spotlight this week with his 
interesting-backward spikes. How 
bout it, Doc? Let's face the net 
once in a while! 

I believe the "Miller-light MVP 
Award" was a tie though. Our 
first big winner was Bob Ched- 
dar. I think Bob set the school 
record for the most double-hits 
off of his face. Ouch! Our next 
co-MVP winner went to Barb Ig- 
natiff. When Iggy wasn't tangled 
in the net, or sprawled on the 
floor, it was amazing how much 



she helped her team. Our next 
feature attraction came from the 
dual match between the "305" 
teams. "Way to sacrifice the 
body, Jenny A." I think you were 
the key to stopping Dan "The 
Man's" serves. Well, 305's 2nd 
team is still undefeated, come-on 
division II players, let's do 
something about it. Wear some 
red and white polka-dotted pants. 
Joe did, and his team won. 
Everytime he's not there, they 
seem to lose. 

Hey Tim L, I mean 
"FROGGY," where did you ever 
learn to spike like that; from 
Pizz? Remember it's only a game. 
So what if I can't see the lines. 
Well, since Thanksgiving is just 
right around the corner, don't eat 
too much, and don't forget to 
bump, set, and spike those 
turkeys right where they belong. 
That's just about enough for this 
week. Until next week — You 
"Nasty Ones" — Crush em like a 
bug! 



one which should cause Kunes 
very few problems since junior 
Chris Labrecque of Holmdel, NJ, 
is back for another season. 

Labrecque, one of the team's co- 
captains, was an impressive 19-3 
in 1985-86, including a perfect 
13-0 in dual meets. 

Sharing the captain duties with 
the 150-pounder is heavyweight 
Greg Carl of Taneytown, Md., 
who can be seen wearing number 
64 for the Crusader gridders this 
afternoon. Once Carl trades in 
the helmet and pads for the 
wrestling singlet, he will be aim- 
ing to equal or improve upon the 
1 1-2 mark he compiled during the 
1984-85 campaign. 

The Crusader grapplers also 
face Muhlenberg in their season 
lidlifter two weeks from today, 
only they will be on the road in 
Allentown. 

In the pool, Susquehanna will 
have experienced swimmers on 
both the men's and women's 
teams. For the men, freestyle 
specialist Larry Bishof of North 
Hills, Pa., and 1986-87 co- 
captains Tom Kauffman of 
Lebanon, Pa., and Lee Kipp of 



Green Pond, NJ, are the trio that 
head coach Ged Schweikert is 
counting on to rack up the points 
needed to better last season's 4-6 
mark. Each member of the 
threesome is a senior. 

Kauffman was selected the 
team's Most Valuable Swimmer 
for 1985-86 and Bishof garnered 
the High Point Award. 

Turning to the women, a 
quartet of three-year letterwin- 
ners return for their last season. 
Seniors Cindy Lain of Sussex, 
NJ, Tammy Smith and Amy 
Summerfield, both of Wilkes- 
Barre, Pa., and Leslie Wells of 
Dekalb Junction, NY, form the 

nucleus of a squad bolstered by 
the presence of several promising 
freshmen. Schweikert is op- 
timistic that the ladies will beat 
last year's 8-4 record, the best in 
Susquehanna's women's swim- 
ming history. 

The swimmers do not open 
their campaign until Dec. 6 when 
they host Dickinson.

Education Scholarship Offered 



A new federal program to en- 
courage outstanding students to 
seek careers in Elementary and 
Secondary Education has been 
instituted for the 1986-87 
academic year. 

The Pennsylvania Higher 
Education Assistant Agency 
(PHEAA) will administer the 
Congressional Teacher Scholar- 
ship Program. Through this pro- 
gram awards of up to $5,000 per 
year will be made to students 
who are enrolled or plan to enroll 
in a course of study which leads 
to certification to teach at the 

Elementary and/or Secondary 
level. In exchange for the award, 
recipients agree to teach two 
years for every year for which 
scholarship assistance was re- 
ceived. If the teaching commit- 
ment is not fulfilled, the amount 

of the scholarship plus interest 



must be repaid. 

Student applicants must have 
been in the top 10% of their high 
school graduating classes and 
must be Pennsylvania residents. 
The 1986-87 application for 
Pennsylvania State Grant and 
Federal Student Aid (available in 
the Financial Aid Office) must 
also be completed. 

Students who meet the criteria 
outlined above are encouraged to 
contact the Education Depart- 
ment or the Financial Aid Office 
for additional information and 
application materials. 

Because this is a new program 
and is getting a late start for this 
academic year, students at all 
academic levels may apply. In 
future years only high school 
seniors will be eligible to submit 
applications. The application 
deadline is Dec. 15, 1986.

An Unbeaten Season 



Volleyball Wrap-Up 



The Crusaders of Susquehanna 
University scored 23 first half 
points on their way to a 26-0 
shutout victory over the Lions of 
Albright which finished off a 
perfect 10-0 regular season. 

The Middle Atlantic Con- 
ference champions used a stub- 
born defensive effort, holding 
Albright to a negative two yards 
rushing and only 135 yards of 
total offense all afternoon, in 
registering their fourth shutout of 
the season. 

Susquehanna took the opening 
kickoff, and used an impressive 
10-play, 72-yard drive to take the 
early lead. Joe Witt dove over 
from one-yard out at the 11:33 
mark of the first quarter to cap 
off the scoring drive. Randy Poz- 
sar drilled the extra point, and the 
Crusaders led 7-0. 

On their very next possession, 
the Orange and Maroon moved 
62-yards on eight plays, to in- 
crease their lead, when quarter- 
back Todd Coolidge found 
halfback John Lotti over the mid- 
dle with an 1 8-yard scoring strike. 
Pozsar's conversion made the 
score 14-0 with a little over five 
minutes gone in the first quarter. 

The SU special teams then got 
into the scoring column, as 
cornerback Clayton Smith broke 
through the Albright line and 
blocked Andy Freda's punt out of 
the end zone for a safety, upping 
the lead to 16-0 with 6:14 left in 
the second quarter. 

Susquehanna capped off their 
23 point first half, when reserve 
fullback Cosmo Iacavazzi plowed 
over from the one-yard line with 
just 1:48 remaining in the half. 
The key play on the 10-play, 
41 -yard drive was a 22-yard pass 



from Coolidge to split end Al 
Bucci, on a third-and- 18 play at 
the Albright 37. 

In the second half, the 
Crusaders utilized their strong 
defense, as they shut down the 
Albright offense, allowing no 
yards rushing, while Smith, 
Trevor Henry, Chris Donato and 
Tim Fitzgerald all intercepted 
Lion passes. 

Pozsar added Susquehanna's 
only points of the second half, 
when he nailed a 35-yard field 
goal with thirty-six seconds left to 
play in the third quarter. 

Middle guard Damian Carac- 
ciolo, again led the defensive 
charge with 10 tackles, including 
two which resulted in losses. 
Henry added six tackles and a 
quarterback sack, while Rich 
Close, Ken Jones and co-captain 
Dave Kells all made six tackles. 

Iacavazzi led the Crusader 
ground game with 79 yards on 1 9 
carries, while in comparison, 
Matt Pammer led the Lions with 
7 yards on 11 rushes. Kevin 
Weber was the second leading 
ground gainer, with 31 yards on 
just seven attempts. 

Coolidge broke two more SU 
seasonal passing records by going 
14 of 25 for 268 yards and a 
touchdown. Split ends Al Bucci 
and Rob Sochovka each hauled 
in four passes for 8 1 and 67 yards 
respectively. 

With his fourth completion, an 
1 1 -yard pass to Weber, the junior 
signalcaller, broke Ken Hughes' 
record of 118, and now has 129 
completions for the season. He 
also set a new mark for passes at- 
tempted with 265, a record that

Two weeks ago the Women's 
Volleyball Team finished up their 
26 game season in two games 
against Gettysburg College and 
'Catholic University. The Lady 
Crusaders beat Catholic, but suf- 
fered a defeat to Gettysburg. All 
in all, their season may be best 
characterized in Coach Deb 
Fore's words as a "rebuilding 
season." The women's final 
record rested at 8 wins and 18 
losses. Nevertheless, and despite 
what the scoreboard showed, 
these women worked hard at 
developing their skills and im- 
proving throughout each game. 

After losing six seniors from 
last year's squad, the team was 
held together under the direction 
of the one returning starter, 
senior captain, Donna Neal. Fore 
and Neal were faced with having 
to work with ten new girls of the 
thirteen member team. Freshman 
Jenn Davis led the team in total 
saves and points "She is definitely 
a player to watch in the forth- 
coming years," stated Coach 
Fore. Along with Davis, 
sophomore Lisa Daecher proved 



SPORTS CORNER 



It's time for another weekly ad- 
dition of Sports Corner, and I 
have debated over two topics to 
talk about, and decided to write 
an SU versus Washington & Jef- 
ferson football preview. I don't 
think anyone was too high on 
reading an MISL season preview 
anyway. 

Before I start the football 
preview, I'm finally going to pick 
the winner of Denver vs. 
Milwaukee NBA final I wrote 
about two weeks ago. I thought 
I'd make you hang from a cliff for 
a while, just so you would keep 
reading. Milwaukee will win the 
NBA title in a seven game series 
with the Nuggets. 

Tomorrow, the Crusader foot- 
ball squad, which completed the 
first 10-0 season in Susquehanna 
history, will participate in its first 
ever NCAA Division III tourna- 
ment game, when they travel to 
Washington & Jefferson College 
to play the host Presidents. 

The Presidents, who won the 
Presidents' Athletic Conference 
title, finished with an 8-1 record. 
They appeared in the playoffs in 
1984, losing in the semifinals 20-0 
to Central (Iowa) College. 

The game shapes up as a defen- 
sive battle, although both teams 
can put points on the board. Sus- 
quehanna allowed opponents on- 
ly 8.5 points per game, while 
W&J yielded just 8.8 points per 
contest. 

The Crusader defense is led by 
inside linebacker Trevor Henry 
and middle guard Damian Carac 
ciolo. Henry, a junior, leads the 
team with 107 tackles and has in- 
tercepted two passes. Caracciolo 



is second on the team with 82 
tackles, including eight which 
have resulted in losses. 

Outside linebacker Rich Close 
leads the team with 8'/2 quarter- 
back sacks, and his ten tackles for 
loss is tops for that category. 

The SU secondary is lead by 
co-captain Dave Kells, who leads 
the team in interceptions with 
five and fumble recoveries with 
five, while making 75 tackles, in- 
cluding six quarterback sacks 
from his safety position. The rest 
of the secondary is comprised of 
Tim Fitzgerald, Joe Azzarello, 
Chris Donato, all of whom have 
four interceptions on the year, 
and Clayton Smith. 

The Presidents defense is 
secured by PAC Defensive 
Player of the Year Jim Meyer. 
The junior inside linebacker leads 
the team with 106 tackles, in- 
cluding two quarterback sacks. 

Inside linebacker Bryan 
McMurray, a senior, is second on 
the squad with 96 tackles. Strong 
safety Shiloh Icenhour's four in- 
terceptions are tops in that 
category for the Red and Black. 

On offense, the Orange and 
Maroon are led by record setting 
quarterback Todd Coolidge. The 
junior signalcaller broke every 
seasonal passing record at Sus- 
quehanna this year with his 129 
completions for 2.042 yards and 
17 touchdowns. 

Coolidge's favorite targets are 
split ends Al Bucci and Rob 
Sochovka. Bucci leads the team 
with 34 receptions for 551 yards 
and six touchdowns, while 
Sochovka grabbed 28 passes for a 
school record 634 yards and 
scored seven touchdowns. 



that, although this was her first 
year on the SU volleyball team, 
she is a contending force on the 
court. Her powerful blocks and 
serves helped lead the team on to 
victories many times over the 
season. Likewise, newcomer 
Bena Reed made her contribu- 
tions to the team in the front row, 
stopping many of the opponent's 
attempts to get the ball by her. 

The entire women's volleyball 
team displayed a great amount of 
enthusiasm and excitement for 
the sport- which Coach Fore 
believes held the team together. 
"This could have been a tough 
year for us. We didn't have much 
depth or experience, but the girls 
managed to pull together and win 
some games." Perhaps the biggest 
highlight of the season was a win

among others. Their visit to 
Pennsylvania is being funded by 

the Apple-Zimmerman Fund for 
Elizabethan Studies, the Penn- 
sylvania Council for the Arts, 
and the Susquehanna University 
Artist Series. 

Members of the ACTER com- 
pany here at SU will include: 
Bruce Alexander, who began act- 
ing 12 years ago after studying 
law at Oxford University. He is 
associated with the Royal 
Shakespeare Company since 
1983 and has acted in eight major 
roles in BBC productions. 

Trevor Baxter has recently 
returned to London from India 
after completing the film "Indian 
Summer." He has worked exten- 
sively in theatre and television in 

classical and modern roles from 
"Romeo and Juliet" to "Hamlet" 
and "As you Like it." Several of 
his original works have been pro- 
duced on London stage and on 
BBC television. He has served as 
the Paul Mellon Visiting 



Distinguished Professor of 
English and Rice University in 
1985. 

Tom Mannion was born and 
educated in Scotland. Trained at 
the Royal Scottish Academy of 
Music and Drama, he has won 
the James Bridie Gold Medal for 
Acting. He has been with the 
Royal Shakespeare Company 
since 1982. Broadway, television, 
and movie roles include "The 
Agatha Christie Hour" and "The 
Return of the Jedi."

1978, in productions such as 
stage productions "Nicholas 
Nickleby" which toured the US 
in 1986. His television and film 
roles include "Jack the Ripper" 
and "Count Dracula." 



Phi Mu Delta Fights for House 



Over the last several months, 
the members of the Phi Mu Delta 
Fraternity here at SU have been 
busy trying to re-acquire posses- 
sion of their old fraternity house 
at 308 University Avenue. It has 
been a period characterized by 
many delays, disappointments 
and major decisions. 

In December of 1982 the Phi 
Mu Delta Fraternity was told 
that they would have to find 
another building to occupy after 
a fire inspector decided that 308 
was unfit to live in. Trouble had 
started in the late 1970's and 
early 1980's between local 
residents and members of Phi Mu 
Delta. 

During the second half of the 
M982 1983 scjool year, the Phi 
Mu Delta paternity was in- 



active. The Fall semester of 1983 
became a reorganization^ year 
for the fraternity and the 
brothers were forced to live in 
Smith dorm. By the following 
year a house was still not 
available for the 12-14 members 
of the fraternity, therefore 
residence was organized for them 
in Mod C. Finally, in 1985 Phi 
Mu Delta gained control of 600 
University Avenue where nine 
brothers reside at the present. 

Three Phi Mu Delta brothers 
have played an active role as 
representatives for the fraternity 
at all town and university 
meetings: Rich Derrick, Bill 
Calvert and President, John 
Wolfe. Earlier last semester these 
three members attended some 
preliminary meetings with 



university officials and the 
Planning Commission. These 
meetings were unusually long, 
lasting anywhere from 2-3 hours. 
However, the Phi Mu Delta 
brothers wished to be well- 
prepared before they went before 
the Planning Commission in Oc- 
tober. The organization and par- 
ticipation of Derrick, Wolfe and 
Calvert paid off in a definite way; 
the Planning Commission voted 
4-1 in favor of them obtaining 
308. However, this was only the 
first hurdle in a long range of 
obstacles that Phi Mu Delta had 
to overcome. 

The next step for Phi Mu Delta 
was to convince the Borough or 
"Town" Council that they 
deserved the right to occupy 308.

Phones Upgraded 



The Telecommunications 
Department has just completed 
the upgrade of the telephone 
system and all changes are fully 
operational. The addition of 8 
new tie lines has increased the 
total amount available to 20. This 
far exceeds the recommended 
amount (according to the experts 
at AT&T), but it is necessary to 
bypass the students who are still 
not dialing correctly. These are 
the students who refuse to "hang- 
up" their previously dialed calls 
before making the next call, 
effectively tying up both calls and 
using twice the lines necessary. 
Students who are dialing correct- 
ly are pushing the switch-hook 
down for a full second before 
placing the next call. The 
students who are ignoring memos 
on how to dial correctly will be 
notified personally in the future 
concerning their misdials. 

Data collected over the past 
few days and an informal survey 
of students subscribers has in- 
dicated that the problem has sub- 
sided. Although some students 
are tying up two or more lines, 
the system is able to re-route calls 
through unused lines. We will be 
making further enhancements in 
the future to save even more 
money and to allow greater flex- 
ibility in our calling methods. 

For those who have lost or 
misplaced your dialing in- 



structions, here are a few to help 
make dialing a bit simpler. 

1 . To call room residences from 
off campus, call 372-XXXX 
(where the last four digits are the 
extension number). 

2. To call faculty extensions, 
dial 8-4XXX. 

3. To call the campus operator, 
dial 8-0 or 9-374-0101. 

4. To call local numbers, dial 
9-and then the number. 

5. Direct Long Distance .... 
8-9-1 -area code-number. 

6. Collect or Credit Card .... 
9-0-area code-number. 

Also, students are still re- 
ceiving collect calls to their 
rooms. This is strictly forbidden 
by SU policy and is quite costly to 
both the student and to SU. A 
charge of $10.00 must be levied 
per month to these students, to 
manually place these calls on 
their bills. When students 
subscribed for service they were 
instructed not to receive collect 
calls or to place 3rd party billing 
calls to their rooms. It would be 
unfortunate to the roommates of 
these students if service was 
disconnected to these rooms 
because of the violations of one 
person. 

If there are any problems that 
common sense won't solve, please 
call my office at extension 4243 
(that's 8-4243 for student 
subscribers).

Here On Campus 



A project in need of members 
is the Arboretum project. 
Members do not have to be 
science majors. Anyone in- 
terested in plants and trees is in- 
vited to join. The Arboretum pro- 
ject has been around three years. 
Their accomplishments include a 
self-guided campus nature walk 
and the restoration of the fern 
garden. Many plants and trees 
have been identified and labeled 



by Juliet Gibson 

so the students can get a better 
understanding of the wide diver- 
sity of plant life on campus. 
On Arbor Day the members 

give a guided tour of the campus 
and its plant life and at the end of 
the tour they plant a tree. It is 
usually the professors who take 
the tour but all students are 
welcomed. Many professors have 
been supportive of the project by 
donating bulbs and plants, which 



Our Corner 



Congratulations to any 
students who is reading this, you 
made it back for another term. 
Obviously, I also have returned, 
although I'm not too excited 
about it. The paper is also back, 
although a week later after a 
snow-out. 

It is time to sort of assess life at 
SU, and take a look at what SU 
has done in the past semester. As 
was quite apparent and often 
mentioned, this year's enrollment 
was up by a good bit. We had 
500+ freshmen, instead of the 
usual 350 or so. The number of 
acceptance letters sent out was 
reportedly the same, so this in- 
dicates that the value and opinion 
of SU has risen in the eyes of the 
college-entering population. This 
is a good sign for the administra- 
tion and it is a plus for those 



graduating, since adding to the 
school's prestige adds to the 
diploma's value. 

Several faculty have received 
grants for study or other uses and 
this is a sign of quality. The more 
time I spend here at SU, the more 
faculty I get to know and the 
more impressed I become. Sure, 
we like some members of the 
faculty and don't like others, 
some seem good and others not, 
but overall there is no doubt that 

the faculty care about the 
students. The professors are 
qualified and able, and many 
show a real desire and en- 
thusiasm for teaching. 

I don't like mentioning names 
or getting into a popularity con- 
test, but there are two professors 
who support this point so well

are planted in the triangle garden 
in the front of the campus center. 
This year three hundred bulbs 
were planted. 

One professor donated the 
stone to build a wet wall for the 
newly restored fern garden, 
which is located behind Steele 

and contains almost all the ferns 
found in Northeastern America. 
The members also take care of 
the greenhouse and the herb 



that I will mention them here. 
Dr. Holt in biology and Dr. 
Walker in sociology both have 
such a drive to get the student to 
learn, you can't help but get 
something out of their classes. 
You can see it in their faces and 
hear it in their voices as they 
teach, they enjoy it that much. I 
have had the privilege of having 
both for classes, and there may be 
others with similar enthusiasm I 
haven't had. Anyone who has 
had instructors with their type of 
fire knows that they were lucky. 
The SU sports had a fine fall 
season, with the football team 
leading the way by making the 
playoffs. We expect continued 
strength in all our athletic pro- 
grams, because the players and 
coaches are dedicated to their 
tasks. The performing arts did 
well last term, with musical and 
theatrical entertainment for 
anyone so inclined. These depart- 
ments will also undoubtably con- 
tinue to shine. 

There were other highlights, 
I'm sure, but with the limitations 
of space and memory, I must 
bring this recap to a close. 

There is an issue developing, or 
perhaps coming to a boil, on 
campus. There has been a pro- 
posal for yet another student fees 
hike, of roughly $1000. The 
Board of Directors will meet this 
Sunday to discuss the question. 
Their decision will be announced 
on Feb. 3. 

President Cunningham will be 
having open office hours for 
students to come in to ask ques- 
tions or pass on suggestions. Un- 
fortunately, it is on Feb. 4, from 
1:30 to 3:30 p.m., after the tui- 
tion decision has been made. 
Even though, stop by and take 
advantage of this opportunity. 
There will also be several other 
such sessions later this year. 

That about wraps it up for this, 
week. Next week I will comment 
on the tuition hike and on the 
possible increase of the Student 
Activities Fee that was voted on 
this past week. Until next week, 
have a good term and a good 
weekend.

to take a few herbs, which are

The project has some more 
plans but they cannot fulfill them 
without more members. One pro- 
ject planned is writing a section 
on the outdoors. They also want 
to extend the campus tour and 
build more cement blocks which 
are used to identify the plant life 



around campus. If anyone is in- 
terested in joining the Arboretum 
Project contact the co-managers

SU Receives Grant 



SU has been awarded a 
$17,500 grant from Aid Associa- 
tion for Lutherans (AAL) to 
design and implement an institu- 
tional research process focusing 
on market research. 

Jeanne Neff, vice president for 
academic affairs at the university, 
will be project director. "The 
long-range goal is to design and 
implement a more effective in- 
stitutional research process, en- 
compassing both internal and ex- 
ternal data, to provide Sus- 
quehanna's new management 
team with reliable information," 
she stated, "on which they can 
make planning decisions and 
develop action plans vital to the 
success of the university. 

"Improved institutional re- 
search will facilitate more ef- 
fective strategic decision-making 
and provide the basis for more ef- 



fective use of university 
resources," according to Neff. 

The grant is provided through 
AAL's Affirmations of Lutheran 
Higher Education Program. Each 
of the 49 Lutheran colleges, 
universities and Bible institutes in 
the United States is eligible for 
annual grants from AAL through 
this program. Since being in- 
troduced in 1 979, the AAL pro- 
gram has provided more than $6 
million in grants to these institu- 
tions. 

The nation's largest fraternal 
benefit society, AAL provides 1.4 
million members in 6,600 
branches with insurance and 
other financial services, and the 
volunteer opportunities to help 
others in their local communities. 
AAL's home office is in Ap 
pleton, Wisconsin.

Up 50%?! 



Get Your Project Ready 



The Student Government 
Association held a special 
meeting on Wednesday, January 
28 to discuss and vote on a possi- 
ble increase in the student activi- 
ty fee. Each year students pay 
this fee so that the campus can at- 
tract speakers and entertainment, 
clubs, and organizations are fund- 
ed, and many other expenses can 
be paid. This year the fee is $100 
per student per year. The pro- 
posed increase would be 50% or 
$50 to $150 per year. 

Both President Jim Faust and 
Treasurer Doug Carlson ex- 
pressed a need for such an in- 
crease citing the fact that most 
clubs and organizations are 



/ 



under-funded now, organizations 
like the Crew Club and Sun 
Counsel will need big increases in 
funding, there are many more 
new clubs this year, and there has 
not been almost any real increase 
in the fee in the last seven years. 
Both also said that if such an in- 
crease would be put into effect 
next year, another increase 
would not be necessary for a few 
more years. 

After some debate, the motion 
to increase the fee was passed 
without dissent. The proposal to 
increase the fee will now go 
before the University Board of 
Directors.

Architects to Visit SU 




Susquehanna University is en- 
couraging faculty, staff and 
students to plan for the Universi- 
ty's future by helping architects 
study the campus and identify 
facilities needs. 

President Joel Cunningham 
said Spillman Farmer Architects 
of Bethlehem will come to Sus- 
quehanna on Feb. 2 to begin 
studying all University facilities 
to assess their uses and needs. 

Cunningham said Susquehan- 
na chose Spillman Farmer for its 
respected reputation and its ap- 
proach to "participatory archi- 



tecture" which encourages an en- 
tire campus to become involved 
in the planning. 

Architects will set up shop in 
the Campus Center from Mon- 
day, Feb. 2 through Thursday, 
Feb. 5. Students, faculty and staff 
are invited to meet the architects 
and share their ideas. 

Open meetings are planned at 
4 p.m. Feb. 2-4 to share ideas 
gained from the day and to 
answer questions. Similar ses- 
sions are planned when architects 
return to campus in mid-Feb. and 
early March.

Phi Mu Delta Fights for House 



«j 



continued from page 1 
Despite tremendous support from 
President Joel Cunningham, 
Dean Dorothy Anderson, Dave 
Henry and Alumni President 
Richard Derrick, the council 
voted against the fraternity ob- 
taining possession of 308. The 
Borough Council was fearful of 
what may happen to the House 
ten to twenty years from now if 
they allowed a fraternity to move 
back into 308. This concern con- 
tributed to their final decision of 
denying Phi Mu Delta acquisi- 
tion of 308. Although they 
assured Derrick, Wolfe and 
Calvert that they were on 
amiable terms with the fraternity, 
they felt they could never allow 
another fraternity to occupy the 
house. 

According to Rich Derrick, 
one of the primary reasons the 
fraternity decided to try and 
regain 308 was to satisfy their 
alumni. Derrick added, "that 
house was built as a fraternity 
house in 1927. For almost 60 
years it served as the head 
quarters of the Phi Mu Delta 
fraternity. It seems unfair that we 
are denied use of the house 
because of some problems that 



occurred five or six years ago." 
Furthermore Derrick added, "I 
can understand a resident on 
University Avenue not wanting a 
fraternity house next door to 
them, but everyone who moved 
in the area knew very well about 
the location of the fraternity 
house." 

Although the decision of the 
Borough Council may appear to 
have shut the door on any chance 
of Phi Mu Delta recovering 308, 
the spirits of the brothers of the 
fraternity refused to dampen. In- 
stead, the members looked at 
other options which would be 
available for housing. One possi- 
ble proposal is for the fraternity 
to build a new house in back of 
Lambda Chi Alpha and Theta 
Chi. There is enough land there 
to construct a house, and 
resources can be negotiated. If 
the proposal is accepted, then the 
house would be built to house 
34-40 brothers and the architec 
ture would design it to be the 
same as 308. With a steady in- 
crease in the number of members 
of Phi Mu Delta, this option 
seems to be the most reasonable 
and realistic solution. Presently, 
Phi Mu Delta has 36 brothers 



and 19 pledges, and according to 
Rich Derrick and John Wolfe the 
need for a new fraternity house is 
well proven. On Feb. 1 repre- 
sentatives of the fraternity will 
meet with the Property and 
Finance Committee of the 
University to decide the fate of 
this proposal. The National 
Fraternity of Phi Mu Delta has 
already pledged to contribute 
$10,000 to the building fund and 
plans are underway to co-sign 
loans for financing the cost of the 
building. 

What may the future of the old 
Phi Mu Delta House at 308 
University Avenue be? Quite 
honestly, there are no specific 
plans for the building at the pre- 
sent. The cost of renovation is 
estimated to be very high because 
of the excessive damage done to 
the house over the years. One of 
the solutions may be to tear it 
down. If this should happen, the 
60 year old Phi Mu Delta 
heritage at 308 University 
Avenue may well be ex 
tinguished. Yet, in the eyes of the 
Phi Mu Delta fraternity their 
goal for recovering 308 was 
"well-worth pursuing."

A Cure for the Winter Blues 



Friday, January 30, 1987— THE CRUSADER-Page 5 



Many of us are bummed this 
time of year, returning to campus 
after the cozy fun of a long visit 
home. The very sudden switching 
of gears as we follow our new 
class schedules, get our first 
assignments, or deal with room- 
mates can be pretty unsettling. 
The early weeks of spring 
semester are the peak times for 
very intense bouts of home- 
sickness, worry, even depression. 
Plenty of students wish they 
could escape; plenty of tears, 
plenty of phone calls home. 

In case you didn't know, we 
have a Counseling Center, and it 
can help! It's located in the 
Campus Center, adjacent to the 
Residence Life Office. What can 
you find there? A confidential, 
quiet setting in which to discuss 
things; a supportive ear that will 
help you find a perspective to get 
things moving in a positive direc- 
tion; advice about how to make 
your schedule, study habits, and 
relationships more manageable; 
information about coping with 
college life, drugs, alcohol, sexual 



matters. Many SU students have 
used the Counseling Center to 
help them make sense of long- 
standing confusions that always 
have seemed to be in the way. 
Many others drop in once or 
twice, to get aid with reducing a 
very temporary mountain of 



stress to molehills that can be 
handled. 

•Sound interesting? Perhaps 
useful for you? If so, come by for 
an appointment or call Fritz 
Kreisler, the Director of the 
Counseling Center at 4238. 



Coombs Named Assistant 



Mangus Presents Recital 



John Magnus, bass-baritone, 
will present a recital 8 pm Friday, 
Jan. 23 in the Seibert Hall 
Auditorium. The recital is free 
and open to the public. 

The recital program will con- 
sist of "Winterreise," or Winter 
Journey, which is considered the 
greatest song cycle in the reper- 
tory of German art songs. The 
music for the 24-part cycle was 
composed by Franz Schubert; 
lyrics were written by Wilhelm 
Muller. 

Magnus enjoys an interna- 
tional reputation as a performing 
artist and teacher. He has sung 
throughout the United States, 



South America, and Europe in 
recitals, oratorio, and opera with 
the Birmingham (England), 
Royal Flemish (Belgium), 
Baltimore, and Philadelphia Or 
chestras. He holds bachelor's and 
master's degrees from the 
Juilliard School. 

Magnus also has directed opera 
workshops and diction clinics. He 
has taught at the University of 
Texas, the University of Col- 
orado, Peabody Conservatory, 
the American Institute of 
Musical Studies in Austria. He 
also has presented Master Classes 
throughout the world. He is a 
resident artist and associate pro- 
fessor of music at SU. 



Virginia M. Coombs of 
Lewisburg has joined the staff of 
SU as an assistant to the presi- 
dent. 

President Cunningham said 
Coombs was selected from more 
than 300 applicants. 

Coombs, who assumed the 
position Jan. 1, was an assistant 
professor of German at Bucknell 
for the past five years. In addition 
to her teaching duties, she served 
on the University Council, the 
Committee on Instruction, and 
the Composition Council, which 
she chaired from 1985 to 1986. 

For the first six months of 
1986, Coombs taught two 
courses as a visiting assistant pro- 
fessor at the University of 
California at Berkeley. 

Prior to the period she spent at 
Bucknell, Coombs was an assist- 
ant professor of German at In- 
diana University at Bloomington 
from 1974-81. She taught 



undergraduate and graduate 
courses and was a member of the 
Graduate Admissions Committee 
for four years and the Affir 
mative Action Committee for 
two years. 

Coombs earned a bachelor's 
degree from Denison University 
in 1968, where she became a 
member of Phi Beta Kappa. She 
received her master's and doc 
torate degrees from the Universi- 
ty of Illinois in 1970 and 1974, 
respectively. 

Susquehanna's new assistant to 
the president has received 
numerous fellowships and grants, 
and has written two books and 
numerous articles. She is a 
member of the Modern Language 
Association of America, the 
American Association of 
Teachers of German, the 
American Council on the 
Teaching of Foreign Languages, 
and Women in German.

vacation of fun and skiing. The 
Theta Ratpack arrived at Killing- 
ton, VT., for a week of skiing and 
other various festivities. By the 
way, which one of you guys 
didn't buy a Killington hat? 

Brother Drummond made his 
way back to campus in a stretch 
limo. Tony, if you're going to 
spend money like that give me a 
call for a ride back. 

Well, here it is, the moment 
you've been waiting for. Last 
Sunday night the brothers of OX 
officially inducted 22 prospective 
pledges, who are as follows: 
Vinos Furey, Kelly Dencker, Tim 
Andersen, John Bunting, Pete 
Smith, Mike Fusco, Noel Cook, 
Scott Shomate, Andy Cole, Sean 
O'Keefe, Jim McCallum, Rich 
Fenstermaker, Frank Mc- 
Laughlin, Chris Delbaugh, Fran 
Marrone, Coogie Kegel, Max 
Winkler, Russ Klein, Steve 
Walser, Chris Milsted, Mike 
Gillligan, and a late entry, PJ 
Lucivero. Good luck fellas, you 
will definitely need it. This is 
your first small step for the possi- 
ble consideration to, perhaps, but 
highly unlikely, become an of- 
ficial SPUD. 

A few quickies: 

Brother Bobby is physically 
gone. It seems that both he and 
brother Kolmodin have packed 
up and headed for Colorado in 
search of clues. 

Quiff- You give love a bad 
name. 

We all know who is going to 
win the Superbowl, don't we 
Spent? 

Who needs scratch paper? 

Pledges- Remember, you have 
to go through hell before you get 
to heaven. 

Hey Bill, let the good times 
roll! 

Until next week, 
Scuba 

LAMBDA CHI ALPHA 

Hi fans! I hope everyone had a 
good break. Just in case you've 
been in a coma for the past week, 
let me remind you that the New 
Jersey Giants did win the Super- 
bowl. Where are all you Eagle 
fans now? Now on to more im- 
portant news. The brothers of 
Lambda Chi Alpha are anxiously 
awaiting an invitation to take our 
traveling circus on the road. This 
is due to the fact that our 
perpetual associates might 
become one of the few, the 



proud, the bunders this weekend 
(we hope). Our house is off limits 
to everyone. 

This past weekend numerous 
sessions were held in Stan 
Marino's room, with topics 
ranging from Texas Twizzlers to 
Doda's half lung. We hope you 
can attend one at a later date. 

As for our second annual Run 
for the Roses on Friday, I would 
like to congratulate the second 
floor on their upset victory. It's 
too bad brother Rich "Block- 
head" Close couldn't attend 
because he mysteriously got 
locked in his room. 

In closing we would like to 
thank Smoken Eddie Gra and 
Stan "I think my car is a monster 
truck" Marino for keeping us 
entertained during the Superbowl 
festivities; BJ's will never be the 
same. 

Note: Joe Azzarello, stop by 
c2's room to get the notes for 
your extra class this term, Good 
Luck! 

Yours in ZAX 
The Dalton Brothers 
„ P.S. "Prospective dates;" In case 
you've been wondering, Jeff Felt 
is recovering nicely from his 
broken leg and is attending 
classes. 

P.S.S. It's customary to return 
the lavaliere when you're finished 
with it. 

PHI MU DELTA 

Dude, welcome back. To begin 
with, sincere congratulations go 
out to Phi Mu Delta's newly in- 
ducted Pledges. They are as 
follows: Chris Banfer, Jim Bell, 
Gene Cautillo, Dave Cozzolino, 
John Del Vecchio, Jayson Dun- 
bar, Dave Farley, Rich Kuncken, 
Mark Manley, Bill McGarrigle, 
Rob Miller, Rick Moscowitz, Jon 
Nickey, Jerry Pryor, John 
Sadorf, Rick Stumpf, Dave 
Szawlewicz, Doug Wheeler, and 
Ray Ziegler. We've chosen you as 
the best, gentlemen, now it's up 
to you to prove it. Good luck. 

After three long years of empty 
. promises, , Dooey's prediction 
finally came true. The Giants are 
goin' to the Bowl! Without a 
doubt, the Fat Kids will be cheer- 
ing on the Giants in full force this 
weekend, except for one lucky 
and extremely loyal Giant fan 
who will be in California with 
them — Calv. 

On the local sports scene, in- 
tramural hoops opened up this 
past week and the Phi Mu Delta 
"A" team a.k.a. The Losers 
opened up in grand style, 
trouncing The Loungers 51-26. 
Timmo plans to return to the 
ring, er, court that is, in time for 
next week's action. Farley and 
Wheeler, wanna trade team 
names? The other Phi Mu Delta 
team, a.k.a. The Guys That ..., 
open up after print time, but I'm 
sure that they are going to get 
crushed anyway. 



As we all have figured, this 
week has brought lots of snow, 
and with it comes hazardous 
driving. Sadly, tragedy has hit 
home, and this tragedy is that the 
Subaru is no longer the Official 
Car of the U.S. Ski Team; thank 
God for tow ropes, Los. 

Along with the time of year 
that brings snow comes an ex- 
tremely gruesome event; this 
event is known as Dooey's Birth- 
day. So lock the doors and bolt 
the windows, because this past 
Thursday was Dooey's birthday, 
and he is still missing in action. If 
found, please return him to his 
rightful owners, whoever they 
may be. 

Well Brothers, just when you 
thought you had recovered from 
last week's extended events, here 
comes the new sci-fi thriller, "The 
End of Week II." Be prepared. 
Starting next week, senior pro 
files begin. 

Brutal Juice, Brutal. 

Harold and Slimmo 
P.S. Happy belated birthday to 
Tom Berkshire. 




It's Greek 
To Them 

GAMMA DELTA IOTA 

Welcome back everyone! Even 
though it will be a long, cold 
winter, we would like to express 
our gratitude to all of the frater- 
nities and sororities for their 
warm welcome to Susquehanna's 
newest fraternity. Lets get to the 
news that everyone wants to 
hear. Over Christmas the Red 
and the Grey went to Florida and 
played some gigs in local bars and 
caught some rays. Pledge Dizzy 
broke his leg at his parents con- 
dominium in Calcutta. Hope 
your leg is alright, Diz, remember 
you can lean on us! Scooter had a 

sex change over Christmas and 
then was lavaliered to the doctor 
who performed the surgery. 
Some of the brothers will roadtrip 
to Penn State to visit Pinhead 
and some of the other Gamma 
Delts up there. Cocoa will be 
heading the shake and bake 
marathon fundraiser for ele- 
phantitis this weekend, so come 
support a good cause. Till next 
week. 

In Gamme gratitude,

Why Must We Pay More? 



Friday, January 30, 1987— THE CRUSADER-Page 7 

INCOME 
FROM WHERE AMOUNT 

Student tuition 

( 1 405 students x $7800 11,1 46,200 



Last week the Crusader was in- 
formed of a possible student tui- 
tion increase of up to 9 3 A%. The 
increase will actually be voted on 

at the upcoming board meeting 
Feb. 2. The Crusader would like 
to present the issue now in an at- 
tempt to demonstrate to students 
exactly where our tuition money 
is going. 

Even after collecting the data 
for this article, the reasons for 
such a steep increase in tuition re- 
mains unclear. One of the most 
outstanding facts to consider is 
the increase in the number of 
freshmen this year. This in itself 
brings in over 1 1 million dollars 
to the University. With so many 
new students, new living spaces, 
and few new professors, where 
does the extra money go? 

Furthermore, faculty salary in- 
creases here at S.U. are among 
the lowest of any comparable 
universities, as demonstrated on 
the faculty salary increase pro- 
posal which will be submitted to 
the Board. Total faculty salaries, 
including benefits, total less than 
four million dollars, and add up 
to only a little over one third of 
our tuition money. 



Besides tuition money, there 
are other income areas which 
help feed the University's budget. 
Gifts, pledges, private founda 
tions, and corporate matching 
gifts comprise another large 
chunk of income. These sources 
in themselves bring in over two 
and a half million dollars. The 
Susquehanna University Fund 
alone has already raised more 
money in the last six months than 
it has in the entire fiscal year of 
July 31/85 to June 30/86. 

Still, several university 
authorities have informed us that 
tuition only covers around 70% 
of what an S.U. education costs. 
So just where exactly does tuition 
go, and is it being used up enough . 
to call for such a high increase 
this year? The following table 
presents the data we found. We 
would like to stress the fact that 
this is only the data we were able 
to collect. Although it may not 
duplicate an actual University 
budget, it does seem to be the on- 
ly data available to students— 
and we had to dig for it. We 
would also like to remind 
students that room and board is a 
separate charge^ 

We feel it is also important to 
remind students of the consistent 



Grapplers Struggling 



On Jan. 24 the Crusaders grap- 
pled with Moravian and Scran- 
ton, trying to improve on their 
14 record. 

In the first contest, Susquehan- 
na faced Moravian University. 
At 118 lbs., Moravian's Gary 
Ruschman won by default over 
Karl Spector and the Crusaders 
were down early, 6-0. 

The next four matches were 
quick, all forfeits. At 126 lbs., 
Bob Gude won by forfeit, while 
Moravian's Jim Yost countered 
with a forfeit at 134 lbs. Sus- 
quehanna captured forfeits at 
142 lbs. and 150 lbs. and led 
1 8- 12 at the halfway point. 

At 158 lbs., Chris Labrecque 
outlasted John Rotkovak 9-5 and 
gave Susquehanna its biggest lead 
2112. Moravian came right 
back; Rich Brendel defeated 
Crusader George Sax, 7-3, and 
j cu t the lead to six with three 
weights to go. 

In the 177 lbs. match, Paul 
Lesica got a major decision over 
Rich McGinnis 13-4 and Sus- 
quehanna's lead was 10 points. 
This lead was needed because the 
Crusaders forfeited the 190 lbs. 
weight class. The lead was four 
[ Points and it was up to Greg Carl 
| to preserve the victory. Preserve 
« he did. Carl ran up an 18-5 
h 001 * on Alex Wilson for the 
(superior decision and the 
| Crusader victory, 30-21. 

to the second match, the 
Crusaders met the strong Scran- 



ton Royals squad. Susquehanna 
gave a valiant effort, but was just 
outmanned. After forfeiting the 
118 lbs. match, Bob Gude was 
pinned at the 1:21 mark of the 
first period and the Crusaders 
were down 12-0 early on. 

After another forfeit at 1 34 lbs. 
by Susquehanna, Scranton won 
three straight matches. At 142 
lbs. Susquehanna's Greg Allmers 
fell to Rob Alourian, 12-4. Then, 
Scranton's Dennis Udicious 
notched a major decision against 
Joe Lawrence, 10-0. This was fol- 
lowed by Steve Daigle's superior 
decision over Susquehanna's 
Rick Moscowitz, 15-3, and the 
score was 31-0 in favor of the 
Scranton Royals. 

At 167 lbs. Crusader George 
Sax drew with Dan Fracas, 3-3, 
to put Susquehanna on the board 
but the damage was already 
done. 

Paul Lesica lost a tough match, 
8-6, to Scranton's John Baker at 
177 lbs. to make the score 36-2. 
After exchanging forfeits, the 
final score was 42-8, Scranton. 

The win and loss puts Sus- 
quehanna at 2-5 on the season, 
while Moravian and Scranton go 
to 3-6 and 5-0, respectively. Sus- 
quehanna's next match is tomor- 
row at Johns Hopkins, as the 
Crusaders battle the University 
of Penn and Johns Hopkins in a 
triangular meet. Good luck guys!

5136 5640 6200 6900 7600 
Looking at these charts, one 
can see a steady increase in tui- 
tion each year. Students are ex- 
pected to pay the amount 
without really knowing why, or 
what becomes of their money. If 
we were more aware of where 
our money goes, we might be able 
to be more understanding of a 
tuition increase.

Reelin 

—Eric Diesel 



Just as the last few whiffs of 
bayberry vanish from the air, cer- 
tain ghosts of Christmas past re- 
main to haunt us. I refer of 
course to those Christmas movies 
which will hang around until at 
least next April. Here's a quick 
run-down of some films, still play- 
ing, which made an impact last 
Christmas season. 

THREE AMIGOS. One of the 
title characters says this: 
"Wherever there's suffering, 
you'll find us." How right he is. 
It's a promising premise: three 
dandies who portray the "Three 
Amigos" on the silent screen are 
lured to Mexico for what they 
think is a mock battle to save a 
town, only it's real. Although it's 
very atmospheric, this movie 
resorts to inept clowning and buf- 
foonery by three stars usually 
more skilled than these perfor- 
mances would indicate. There's 
no other way to say it - Chevy 
Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin 
Short botch it up badly. After all, 
when you get down to it: three 
guys acting stupid — how funny 
is that? 

LITTLE SHOP OF HOR 
RORS. On the other hand, Steve 
Martin deserves an Oscar 
nomination for his work here, as 
a sadistic dentist who encounters 
the perfect patient: a masochist 
(Bill Murray). Martin is just one 
of this victims of Audrey II, a 
vicious Venus Flytrap that eats 
red meat. With a trio of cavort- 
ing, Bouffanted girl singers pro- 
viding commentary, and a splen- 
did soundtrack of hummable, 
totally inane songs, this movie 
stands a good chance of be- 
coming a cult classic. The plant 
puppet is a wonder. Also with 
Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, and 
John Candy. 

THE GOLDEN CHILD. Ed 
die Murphy as savior of the 
world? That's what we're ex- 
pected to believe in this ego-thon 
about a "golden" tot sent from 
heaven but kidnapped from His 
temple in Tibet by a demon who 
tries to feed Him blood 'n' 
oatmeal. It's less probable than it 
sounds, but somehow it all clicks. 
Murphy exhibits more charisma 



here than ever before, but he still 
doesn't know when to slow 
down, when to stop. THE 
GOLDEN CHILD is a 
fascinating fable — and you only 
occasionally have reason to 
despise Eddie Murphy's incessant 
self-agrandizing. Charlotte Lewis 
plays the perfunctory love in- 
terest, photographed almost ex- 
clusively at hip-level. 

NO MERCY. Richard Gere, a 
tough Chicago cop, is embroiled 
in a really strange case. He finds 
out it's all the Mob's fault (of 
course). He goes to New Orleans 
-surely you've heard of the New 
Orleans mafia - and falls for the 
moll (of course). He finds the 
right clues (of course). He trusts 
the wrong guys (of course). He 
curses and shoots a lot. He 



screams bad dialogue. Of course, 
of course, of course. Kim Bassing 
er plays the moll and, not to ap- 
pear prejudiced, looked and acted 
a whole lot better when she was 
basted in ice cream and 
lashed to the bed in Wi WEEKS. 
BRIGHTON BEACH 
MEMOIRS. Jonathan Silverman 
stars in Neil Simon's over- 
wrought, over-rated 2-hour 
kvetch about being Jewish in the 
1930's. Simon toys with his 
audience like it was a faucet: turn 
on laughs here, be moved to tears 
there. Silverman, whose career is 
just beginning, is perhaps worst 
off in this drowsy, colorless, sur- 
prisingly manipulative film. No 
one's ever going to cast him again 
if they think all he can do is 
whine.

Susquehanna University has 
been awarded a $17,500 grant 
from the Aid Association for 
Lutherans (AAL) to design and 
implement an institutional 
research process focusing on 
m arket research. 

"The long-range goal is to 
design and implement a more ef- 
fective institutional research pro- 
cess, encompassing both internal 
and external data, to provide Sus- 
quehanna's management team 
with reliable information," stated 
project manager Jeanne Neff, 
vice president for academic af- 
fairs at the university. "With that 
information, we can make plan- 
ning decisions and develop action 
plans vital to the success of Sus- 
quehanna. 

"Improved institutional re- 
search will facilitate more ef- 
fective strategic decision-making 
and provide the basis for more ef- 
fective use of university re- 
sources," according to Neff. 

The grant is provided through 
AAL's Affirmations of Lutheran 
Higher Education Program. 
Since its introduction in 1979, the 



program has provided more than 
$6 million in grants to Lutheran 
colleges, universities, and Bible 
institutes in the United States. 
Susquehanna is affiliated with 
the Lutheran Church in America. 



AAL, based in Appleton, Wis., 
is the nation's largest fraternal 
benefit society. The organization 
provides its 1.4 million members 
in 6,600 branches with insurance 
and other financial services. 



Need a Project Idea? 



Parents and teachers in the 
Selinsgrove area are looking for 
help in responding to the needs of 
our latchkey children. Up to half 
of the elementary students in 
most area schools could be con- 
sidered latchkey children. Phone- 
Friend, a 3-hour after-school 
hotline service, has been handling 
about 50 calls a month from 
children who were lonely and 
needed reassurance from an 
adult, or who needed emergency 
instructions about how to solve a 
problem. 

Since SUN Contact, a 24-hour 
telephone counselling service, 
ceased operations in November, 
Phone-Friend has struggled to 



keep its 3-hour help service on 
the line. Lack of funding and 
volunteers has caused Phone- 
Friend to cease its service as of 
January. The Selinsgrove PTSO 

and the Phone-Friend Commit 
tee, headed by Christine Thorn 
forde, hope that someone in the 
community will show interest in 
the children's service and resume 

operations. Any students in- 
terested in helping needy 
schoolchildren next year by being 
available to answer the phone in 
a project house from 3-6 p.m. on 
school days, please contact Deb- 
bie Woods in the Residence Life 
office at ext. 4137. 



Men Still in the Hunt 



continued from page 12 

of King's College. Susquehanna 
shot only 29 percent from the 
floor and 39 percent from the 
foul line in dropping the 
Northern Divison contest. Bruce 
Merklinger led the SU offense 
with 1 8 points and hauled down 
nine rebounds. 

The Orange and Maroon 
found the home court to be quite 
comfortable for a pair of weekend 
victories against Delaware Valley 
and Albright. 

Against Del Val, the Crusaders 
held off a late Aggie rally to win a 
tight 54-53 contest. Holding a 
one-point lead with eleven 
seconds left, SU's defense kept 
Del Val from converting on two 
shots to pull out the win. Merk- 
linger again paced the scoring 

with 19 points, while yanking 
down 15 boards. Freshman guard 
Jim Burke, in his second varsity 
game, added thirteen markers 
and Jay Thatcher tossed in ten. 

The Lions of Albright College 
visited O.W. Houts Gymnasium 
and the Orange and Maroon's 
defense played outstanding in the 
64-53 win, holding the Lions to 
only 18 first half points. Albright 
shot only 31.3 percent from the 
floor, as leading scorer Jeff Bat 
turs hit only 4 of 19 shots he 
took. Thatcher was the games 



high scorer with 20 points, while 
Merklinger popped home 16 and 
ripped down 17 rebounds. 

Susquehanna saw their overall 
record fall to 6-11 and league 
record drop to 6-5 as they 
dropped a 69-57 road game to the 
Jersey Devils of FDU-Madison. 

The Jersey Devils never trailed 
and took a 40-28 lead into 

halftime. The Crusaders pulled to 
within six at 63-57 late in the con- 
test, but FDU-Madison scored 
the final six points. SU was again 
hampered by cold shooting as 



they converted only 41.9 percent 
of their shots, including a frigid 
3-20 from three-point range. 

Merklinger, the senior center, 
carried Susquehanna by scoring a 
career-high 31 points by shooting 
1 5 of 1 7 from the floor. The team 

captain also pulled down 14 re- 
bounds. All five Jersey Devil 
starters scored in double figures 
to lead them to victory. 

The Crusaders are back in 
action tomorrow afternoon at 
3:30 p.m., when they host arch 
rival Elizabethtown in a MAC- 
NW division match-up.

Rebuilding Blough 



Students who have been in the 
Learning Center since the be- 
ginning of the second semester 
know that we undertook some 
renovations between semesters. 
Almost all of the structural work 
is complete, but the new fur- 
niture for the lobby and reference 
room has not arrived. It will take 
about a month before everything 
is in place. Until the new circula- 
tion desk is installed, the security 
system can not be set up. 
Members of the staff will be ask- 
ing you to show the contents of 
all bags, briefcases, and 



backpacks. We apologize for any 
inconvenience that is caused and 
ask your cooperation. 

In addition to the renovations, 
students will notice another 
change near the end of the 
month. A coin operated reader 
printer for microforms will be 
available next to the Xerox 
machine. It will no longer be 
necessary to ask a staff member 
when you need a paper copy 
from film. You need only take 
the film to the reader-printer and 
make your own copies.

Kicking Some Puck 



It was a long week for the Sus- 
uehanna men's basketball 
iuad, as they hooked up in two 
lultipleovertime Middle At- 
intic Conference (MAC) games. 

The Crusaders started the 
reek with a MAC interdivisional 
ontest against the visiting 
Juliets of Gettysburg. SU took a 

5 33 lead into the locker room at 
alftime, but Gettysburg, paced 
y four players scoring in double 
igures, pulled out the 67-59 vic- 
or y. Jay Thatcher led the 
)range and Maroon with 19 

oints, while Bruce Merklinger 
cored 12 and freshman guard 
teve Taylor added 1 1 markers. 
im Dimond controlled the 
oards for Susquehanna, hauling 
own 1 1 rebounds. 

Two days later, coach Donald 
Harnum's squad traveled to 
uniata, where the Crusaders and 
ndians played an exciting 
louble-overtime game. 

After regulation, the teams 
'ere tied at 64-64, and SU took 

early four-point lead in over- 
me, when Keith Delaporte, who 
nished with a career-high II 
oints, scored from fifteen feet 



out. However, Juniata outscored 
the Orange and Maroon 6- 1 over 
the final fifteen seconds to send 
the game to another overtime 

period, where Thatcher won the 
game by burying two foul shots 
with fourteen seconds left to 
play, for the 78-76 win. 

Thatcher led the Crusaders 
with 21 points, while Taylor 
chipped in with IS. Merklinger 
added 1 1 points to his team-high 
11 rebounds. 

Two days after that game, Sus- 
quehanna and Drew battled 
through triple overtime, before 
the Rangers pulled out the 86-84 
win. 

In regulation, freshman guard 
Gregg Allocco canned a three- 
point shot with forty-four 
seconds on the game clock to give 

the Crusaders a 63-61 lead. Bill 
Dunn, who finished with a game- 
high 32 points, sank both ends of 
a one-and-ond to send the game 
toOT. 

In the first OT period, Dunn 
tied the score a 69-69 with one 
second left, by coverting an of- 



Parents Divorced? 



Parents' divorcing frequently 
aves children with many 
lanswered questions, confu- 
on, and pain. College is, for 
any such children, an escape 
id a great opportunity to ex- 
ore, in a setting removed from 
ie home and hurt feelings, their 
mi responses to their family's 
irmoil. 

The Counseling Center will be 
fering a support group for this 
ind of exploration. The group 
i" meet weekly in the evening. 
will be led by Fritz Kreisler, 
factor of Counseling. The pur- 
<* of the group will be to give 
rticipants a safe and supportive 
"ing in which to discuss and 
nation their reactions to their 
Bents' separation. Participants 



will be encouraged to ask 
themselves: How has this af- 
fected me? How does it affect me 
now? How can I come to under- 
stand this event, and my place in 
it, better? 

The experiences of others are 
frequently very helpful in this 
process, as we find out that we 
are not altogether alone. 

There will be an organizational 
meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 3, at 7 

p.m. at the Counseling Center. 
At this meeting, we will deter- 
mine a convenient time for future 
sessions. The group is open to 
anyone touched by parental 
separation, whether this is hap- 
pening now or years ago. If the 
matter is, in any way, unresolved 
for you, discussions are likely 
beneficial for you.

fensive rebound. Thatcher sent 
the game into a third overtime by 
hitting a jumper with eight 

seconds left to play, tying the 
score 75-75. In the third and final 
overtime, Delaporte drilled a 
three-pointer from the right 

baseline with thirty-seven 
seconds to play to knot the score 
at 84-84. However, Dunn hit an 

18-foot jumper off of the right 
side of the foul line with five 
seconds left to give Drew the 
hard-fought win. 

Merklinger paced the Cru- 
saders with 24 points, while 
pulling down an O.W. Houts 
Gymnasium record 21 rebounds. 

Thatcher added 20 points, with 
Delaporte and Allocco adding 
career highs of 13 and 10 points 
respectively. 

Susquehanna is now 4-9 
overall and 4-3 in the MAC NW 
division. They will be back in 
action tonight at home against 
the Aggies of Delaware Valley 
and tomorrow against the 
Albright Lions. Both contests 
start at 8 p.m.

There is a group of individuals 
at SU who participate in a sport 
which is not well known to many 
university sports fans. This group 
has won some seventy-five per- 
cent of their games in the last 
three years. This team has been 
in their league playoffs for the 
last three years. This team is the 
SU Icemen. 

This year, the team returns 
seniors Steve Schmaltz, who just 
happened to lead the league in 
points last year; Rich Derek, 
defensive veteran; junior Paul 
King, and many, many more. 
With a cast of new young 



players, the Icemen hope to have 
another banner year. The team's 
home opener was a tough, 
physically fought battle with the 
representative team of the Purdy 
insurance company. The team 
was not quite as prepared as the 
Purdy club, losing the game, nine 
to one. The Icemen quickly 
bounced back in their second 
game with a seven to four victory 
over Freeburg. There are plenty 
of games left at the Sun bury 
Rink. If you like hard-hitting and 
high- speed action, why not come 
out and support the big blue (club 
color) of SU Glide with the win- 
ning tradition of the big blue. 



Academic Stats: Term I 



Have you ever wondered how 
the campus academic standings 
compare to your own? The 
academic statistics for the 
1986-87 fall term are in. The total 
enrollment at the beginning of 
last term was 1479. It is currently 
1439, 502 of which are freshmen. 

Right now, the freshman class 
G.P.A. is 2.38. The sophomores' 
G.P.A. stands at 2.53, the 
juniors' at 2.66, and the seniors 
are at the top with a 2.75 class 
G.P.A. These averages are based 
upon the enrollment of full-time 
students who are working 
towards their Bachelor's Degrees. 



Out of a total 223 students in 
academic difficulty last term, 
nine were dismissed, although 42 
of those students returned to 
good standing. 35 had been ad- 
vised to withdraw. 

In comparison, the figures 
from the 1985-86 fall term show 
.that, during that semester, a total 
of 220 students experienced 
academic difficulty. Of those, 26 
returned to good standing, while 
1 6 were dismissed. 

As for the academic standings 
of the genders, the women of Sus- 
quehanna hold a 2.69 G.P.A.; the 
men, a 2.54 G.P.A.

NOTES FROM 



Hannigans Present Recital at SU 



Men and Women of Susquehan- 
na: 

The new semester is under way 
now in spite of freezing 
temperatures and heavy 
snowfalls. Isn't it good to be able 
to start over, to begin again, to 
have a second chance? The new 
semester and its beginning strikes 
me as an excellent opportunity to 
make a fresh start with our 
academic interests, relationships, 
and our determination to live 
more consistently with those 
values which we hold to be true 
and good and inspiring. 

Of course we bring a lot of bag- 
gage with us from other 
semesters like broken relation- 
ships, half-hearted attempts at 
scholarships, and disappointment 
with our own lack of moral

courage. Now, however, we have 
a new start. What a precious gift 
it is to be able to start over again. 
Let's take advantage of it! 

An area where I would like to 
see us start up freshly as a univer- 
sity community is our commit- 
ment to take full advantage of the 

4 

intellectual and cultural oppor- 
tunities available to us here at 
Susquehanna. Lectures, concerts, 
athletic events, and recitals are 
often not as well attended as they 

could be. What if we each made a 
commitment to attend at least 
one lecture, concert, recital, or 
play a week? I believe we would 
be a much livelier group of men 

and women, a more interesting 
community, a more stimulating 
company of people who care 
deeply about life. 

For the greater glory of God!

Outdoor Rec Room Expanding 



With the winter season in high 
gear now, and snowfall a regular 
occurence, those who enjoy the 
great outdoors should frequent 
the SU Outdoor Rec Room. We 
have recently upgraded our line 
of equipment with the acquisition 
of five new cross country ski 
packages. So now there's more 
reason than ever to come down 



and rent some equipment. The 
prices are low, our staff is friend 
ly, and the equipment is quality. 
Besides, what else are you going 
to do in a snowstorm? We're 
open seven days a week, and our 
new hours are 11:45-1:45. Our 
location is in the lower level of 
the campus center, next to the 
gameroom. Come check it out!

On the road, the Crusaders 
were caught up in a battle to the 
buzzer which ended in a defeat 
by one point. The hosting team, 
Dickinson, outscored Susquehan 
na 65-64. The action did not fall 
into place for the team of maroon 
and orange who were subjected 
to a high 27 turnovers. "We 

didn't play with our usual intensi- 
ty and desire," commented Diehl. 
Kay Czap, who is recognized as 
one of the top players in the Mid 
Atlantic Conference (MAC) and 
who has been awarded MAC 
"player of the week" for two 
weeks in a row, scored a game 
high 24 points. Senior captain 
Beth Noble and Tricia Ross 
followed with 12 points a piece 
for the night. 

Later on in the week, the 
psyched Susquehanna team 
hosted Kings college for what 
turned out to be the biggest and 
best game of the year. With a 
69-55 victory, Diehl and his 
players all appeared pleased with 
their play. Junior Ross played 
what Diehl described as her "best 
game ever, with outstanding 
shooting and excellent defensive 
play." Ross scored a career high 
24 points. Noble, the leader of 
this young squad, gave a superior | 
performance on the court with 15 j 
points and a team high 8 re 
bounds. Sophomore sensation 
Lona Bonner added nine points 
to the scoreboard. 

Inexperience is the key factor I 
on this 1987 squad, "There is no I 
real experienced back-up as com 
pared to our past seasons," stated | 
Diehl, "This is our rebuilding | 
year. We are improving, ho* 
ever, the results may not be| 
witnessed for a while." However, 
as their coach commended, these 
teamsters seem to do something] 
better every game. 

The Crusaders, now 7-4 overall 
and 6-1 in the league, are back in 
action this Saturday hosting] 
Elizabethtown at 1:30 pJJ 
which could be the biggest and 
most crucial match -up of tl*| 
year.

Bringing Things to Light Phonathon Needs YOU 



In warmer climes, the distinc- 
tion is less clear between what is 
"inside" and what is "outside." 
Go to a hotel in the South Pacific 
somewhere, one not in the heart 
of a city. There is an opening "in- 
to" the lobby, if the word "into" 
even applies. There is a sidewalk, 
and then there is the tiling of the 
lobby floor, and between the two 
is just a line dividing space 
(framed space, perhaps, but still 
just space). And it isn't that a 
"door" is open, for there is no 
physical thing available to be 
moved into that framed space to 
fill it. Nor are there windows. 
There are window areas, but in- 
stead of glass there is again just 
space. 

Some of the homes look quite 
familiar to your northern eyes: 
cubes of stucco or wood or 
matted straw, but instead of 
doors and windows there are 
doorways and rectangular holes 
with colorful curtains blowing, 
now "in," now "out." 



In a marketplace in Mexico 
there might be a two-story mall- 
like building of adobe consisting 
of many shops. You climb a flight 
of stairs that is between two of 
the shops but which is fully ex- 
posed to the sun and air, and find 
yourself on the second floor land- 
ing which is an open balcony. 
There are walls which jut out 
here and there, and some of these 
are short enough to peer over, 
and when you do, you might see 
"into" a boutique or "out" to a 
view of street or sea. Are you "in" 
or "out?" 

And through these spaces that 
fail so beautifully at their tasks of 
separating the inner from the 
outer, the weather has great 
freedom, giving freedom in turn 
to all things weather-borne: views 
of neighbors and strangers; leaps 
of cats and lizards; sounds of 
chats, arguments, thunderstorms; 
odors of all kinds. Each is ex- 
tremely temporal and fleeting 
and fluid, now appearing, now 
gone, the familiar and the unex- 
pected. 

A very different notion of 
Privacy than we of the cold north 
a* used to. We know "In" from 
"Ow" if we know anything; in 
f act, we may be obsessed with the 
distinction. Our doors and win- 
dows are as strong as any part of 
the house we live in; and, to be 




sure, we reinforce these potential 
openings with multiple locks, 
dead-bolts, shutters, insulation, 
weather-proofing, shades. (As a 
final touch, we often add the fish 
eye peephole which distorts our 
minimal contact with the world, 
reducing callers to their binary 
essence: Known or not? Let them 
In, or keep them Out?) 

Similarly, the architecture of 
our selves, psychologists tell us, 
needs to include strong ego 
boundaries if we are to be 
healthy, that a key ingredient of 
maturity is a very firm sense of 
Self as opposed to Other, and that 
craziness is practically defined by 
the loss of ability to discriminate 
Inside from Outside (Where are 
hallucinations located?) 

So we gear up, don our 
camouflage. We ready ourselves 
to get out there and compete, get 
what's ours, make our plans, tac- 
tics, strategies, make our raids on 
the world for the things we 
desire, capture a bit of success, 
scurry back to our respective 
lairs. 

Might we suggest a trip to the 
south?

This Feb. 1st through the 26th 
SU will conduct its annual 
Phonathon where student 
volunteers will call thousands of 

alumni for donations. The goal 
for the phonathon is $80,000 
which is higher than last year's 
total of $77,055. 



All of the money raised will go 
to the Susquehanna University 
Fund (SUF) which is trying to 
achieve the sum of $725,000. Stu- 
dent tuition only covers 80% of 
the actual cost of each student's 

education. Part of the other 20% 
of the tuition is covered by the 
SUF. The SUF helps meet the 
university's most urgent needs 
such as: financial aid, scholar- 
ships, computer support, funds 
for library books, and the upkeep 
and maintenance of the buildings 
and grounds. 

The student chairperson this 
year is Kim Gorman, with week- 
ly captains Diane Herdling, Rob 



Miller, Paul Brady and publicity 
coordinator John Yarusi. 

On Feb. 1 at 6:20 p.m. the 
Phonathon will begin. It will run 

every Sunday through Thursday 
night until Feb. 26 from 6:20 to 
9:15 p.m. in the Grotto of the 
Campus Center. 



Prizes of $100 will be awarded 
to the student who raises the 
most new money and $50 for the 



student with the most new 
donors. Volunteers will receive 
free gifts and a free phone call at 
the end of each night. 

The Phonathon promises to be 
a lot of fun, so if you are 
interested in volunteering call 
Kim Gorman at ext. 3410 or the 

Development Office, ext. 4107. 
Remember, you can volunteer as 
many times as you would like, so 
get involved today!

Staying A Stroke Ahead 



Shoemaker Earns Spot 

All-American 



Susquehanna University's 
Tom Shoemaker, a senior from 
Collingdale, Pa., has been 
selected to the Football News 
National Collegiate Athletic 
Association (NCAA) Division III 
All-American Team. 

Shoemaker, a 6-foot-2, 
2 1 8-pound guard, was one of four 
offensive linemen named to the 
honorable mention squad. He 
also was one of six Susquehanna 
players on the 1986 Middle 
Atlantic Conference (MAC) All- 
Star Team. 

"Tom is just an outstanding 
player," said Susquehanna head 
coach Rocky Rees. "He is a ver- 
satile lineman who could block at 
the line of scrimmage and still get 
to the corner on sweeps." 



A graduate of Academy Park 
High School, Shoemaker was a 
two-year starter and a captain of 
the 1986 Crusader gridders. He 
also made four tackles this season 
on opponents' interception 
returns and on special teams play. 



Susquehanna completed the 
first 10-0 regular season in the 
school's 88-year football history 
and won its second MAC title in 
the last four years. The Crusaders 
also made their first-ever ap- 
pearance in the NCAA Division 
III playoffs and advanced to the 
quarterfinals before losing to 
Salisbury State (Md.) College and 
finishing the season with an 11-1 
overall record. 



Merklinger On Fire 



SU center Bruce Merklinger of 
North Plainfield, N.J., set an 
O.W. Houts Gymnasium record 
Jan. 17 for most rebounds in a 
game in the Crusaders' 86-84 
triple-overtime loss to visiting 
Drew (N.J.) University. 

Merklinger, a 6-foot-6 senior, 
pulled down a career-high 2 1 re- 
bounds in addition to scoring a 
season-high 24 points. The old 
record for most rebounds in a 
game on Susquehanna's home 
floor was 20, set by Bill Conroy 
of Lycoming College in 1977. 
The previous Susquehanna 
record was 19, accomplished by 
Bob Hertzog in 1976 and Carlton 
Corprew last season. 

The graduate of Governor 
Livingston Regional High 
School, who also attended Valley 
Forge Military Academy, also 
will be honored for breaking the 
1,000-point mark for his col- 
legiate career before Susquehan- 
na's home game versus Albright 
College Jan. 24. The Crusaders' 
captain reached the coveted 
plateau Dec. 1 with 15:17 re- 
maining in the first half against 
Loyola Marymont (Calif.) 
University in Los Angeles. 

Merklinger, who now has 
1,154 career points, is leading 



Susquehanna in scoring, aver- 
aging 16.3 points per game, and 
in rebounding, pulling down an 
average of 9.9 boards per contest. 

PLAYER OF THE WEEK 

Bruce Merklinger is the Middle 
Atlantic Conference (MAC)- 
Northern Division men's basket- 
ball Player of the Week for games 
played from Jan. 19 through Jan. 
24. 

Merklinger, a 6-foot-6 senior, 
racked up 53 points on 20 of 38 
shooting from the field and 13 of 
17 from the foul line in the 
Crusaders' three games during 
the week. In addition, the Sus- 
quehanna team captain grabbed 
41 rebounds, dished out four 
assists, made four steals, and 
blocked eight shots. 

The center put together two 
fine performances on consecutive 
days versus Albright and 
Delaware Valley colleges. On Fri- 
day versus Delaware Valley, he 
scored 19 points, hauled in 15 re- 
bounds, and blocked two shots in 
a 54-53 Susquehanna win. The 
following evening, Merklinger 
tossed in 16 points, pulled down 
17 boards, and blocked four 
Albright shots in the Crusaders' 
64-53 victory over the Lions.

Last Saturday the men's and 
women's swim teams proved that 
fun in the sun can win meets! 
Both teams returned from a suc- 
cessful training trip to Justus 
Aquatic Center, Orlando, Flor- 
ida, to record wins in their first 
meet since semester break. Their 
performances showed the value 
of the double workouts and over 
50,000 yards logged during the 
seven-day trip. The Crusader 
swimmers will now look to im- 
prove their records over the 
course of the remaining season. 

The Crusader women im- 
proved their record to three Wins 
and one loss, with wins over Ly- 
coming and Widner in Saturday's 
tri-meet at Lycoming College. In 
action before semester break the 
women were to have a 1 and 1 
record defeating Lock Haven by 
the score of 100 to 89 and losing 
to the defending MAC cham- 
pions, Dickinson, by the score of 
66 to 109. Team depth and 
strength proved to be the major 
factors when the Lady Crusaders 
defeated Lycoming and Widner 
on Saturday. Strong perfor- 
mances were shown by the senior 
squad members Amy Summer- 
field, Cindy Lain, and Tammy 
Smith. Lain and Smith were the 
team's double winners and Sum- 
merfield was to be SU's only tri- 
ple winner. Another double win- 
ner for the Lady Crusaders was 
freshman Cindy Petrucci. Other 
strong finishers were team 
members Donielle Fanarjian, 
Karen Ledebuhr, Dottie Hart, 



Becky Etzold, Nancy Edson, 
Nicole Lefchak, Debbie 
"Hoover" Weissman, Debbie 
Witkowski, Jen Varcoe, and 
Martina Androshick. 

Saturday's meet at Lycoming 
saw the men even their record to 
one and one against a weak 
Widner team (Lycoming College 
has no men's team). The 68-37 
victory was highlighted by 
several strong performances. The 
men's team is a young team (over 
one-half are freshmen and 
sophomores) and is hoping their 
performance against Widner will 
set the tone for the rest of the 
season. The Crusader men's only 
loss came in an early season meet 
against Dickinson College. The 
loss was highly emotional for the 
men's team. The Crusaders had 
never won a meet with Dickinson 
in the history of the sport at Sus- 
quehanna. This year's meet 
proved no different. However, 
the men showed tremendous 
pride by holding the meet on the 
wire until the last event. With 
one event to go (400 freestyle 
relay) the men were losing 91-81. 



Needing to take both first and 
second to win the meet, Coach 
Ged Schweikert split his best 
swimmers between two relay 
teams. The Red-Devils proved 
too much for the Crusaders, 

leaving them high and dry with a 
second and fourth in the event. 
The final score was the closest 
ever recorded against Dickinson, 
102-85. 

This week, both teams traveled 
to Western Maryland for a 
Wednesday night meet and will 
face Elizabethtown and Kings 
College at Kings College tomor- 
row. The next home meet will see 
the Crusaders hosting a strong 
Gettysburg team on Jan. 28. 
Both teams would like to thank 
the student body for the support 
they showed at our first home 
meet this year. We hope the spirit 
will continue for all sports on the 
SU Campus. 

Remember, Eye of the Duck... 
and all that other stuff!

SPORTS CORNER 



After being shut down by the 
snow last week, you poor souls 
were unable to read my Super 
Bowl XXI preview. Well, I did 
pick the Giants to win 27-10, but 
you probably don't believe me. 

In my opinion, the two second 
half trick plays used by Bill 
Parcells were the key to the New 
York/New Jersey victory. 

On their opening drive of the 
second half, the Giants lined up 
to punt on a fourth-and-inches 
play. However, Parcells posi-. 
tioned back-up quarterback Jeff 
Rutledge at the up man position, 
who then shifted over center and 
gained just enough yardage for a 
first down to keep the drive alive. 
People may argue that this was 
not as big a play as I believe, but 
considering the Giants trailed 
10-9 at the time, and the Giants 
continued downfield on the drive 
to score the go-ahead touchdown, 
it may have been the games big- 
gest play. Also, by making the 
first down, the momentum of the 
game switched to the NFC 
squad. 

The other razzle-dazzle play 
almost sealed the victory for the 
empire/garden state team. 
Leading 16-10, Most Valuable 
Player Phil Simms hooked up 



with spirited wide receiver Phil 
McConkey for a long gainer off 
of a flea-flicker. One play later 
Joe Morris scampered to make 
the score 23-10. 

Although the Giants scored 
sixteen more points after the 
Morris score, the success of the 
two trick plays really took the 
wind out of the Denver team. 

Even though these trick plays 
ended up working for the Giants, 
it takes a lot of nerve on the part 
of Parcells to make such gutty 
calls in a game of this caliber. 
Many coaches would have 
turned away from attempting 
such plays in such a big game, but 
to Parcells, it really wasn't much 
of a challenge at all. 

One last thing about the Super 
Bowl, the controversy over the 
instant replay. A pass from Bron- 
co quarterback John Elway to 
tight end Clarence Kay looked to 
me, and most people to be com 
plete. However, the referee on 
the field said the ball was not 
caught and was backed up on it 
by the replay official. Yet eight 
minutes after the play was over 
and Elway had been sacked for a 
safety, another replay appeared 
showing that Kay had made the 
catch. 



I still feel that the replay rule 
must be changed for next season, 
if it is going to be kept at all. 
Although this play really did not 
affect the outcome of the game, it 
well could have in some other in 
stance. 

Some other notes in the sports 
world, only 22 more days until 
the opening of some spring train 
ing camps for major league 
baseball teams, Wayne Gretzky 
was not selected by the fans to 
start against the Soviets in the 
NHL All-Star series, Mario 
Lemieux got the starting nod and 
many Knick fans are upset that 
Patrick Ewing was passed over 
for the Eastern Conference All 
Star team. 

****** 

This week's trivia question: 
George Martin's safety of John 
Elway was the fourth one in 
Super Bowl history. When did 
the last safety take place in a 
Super Bowl? 

Next week in SPORTS 
CORNER, 111 preview the NBA 
and NHL All-star games and 
have some more baseball news.

More Money and Future Changes 



The Board of Directors Meets 



On Monday, Feb. 2, the SU 
Board of Directors held their 
open meeting in the campus 
center. At this meeting, reports 
were given from a series of in- 
dividual committees that had 
been conferencing through the 
weekend. Of primary concern 
was the approval of the tuition 
and fees increase for the 1 987-88 
academic year. 

The Property and Finance 
Committee submitted for ap- 
proval an increase of 9.49% in 
the tuition and fees. In numbers, 
it will cost each student at SU the 
following: 



Tuition 


$8625 


and fees 




Room 


1590 


Board 


1610 



Total: $11,825 

Compared to last year, this 
represents an increase of $800 in 
tuition and fees, $200 on com- 
bined room and board, and a $25 
increase in the Student Activity 
Fee, for a total increase of $1025. 

Last week The Crusader 
presented an article examining 
the current income and outgo of 
funds of the University. During 
the discussion of the costs in- 
crease at the Board meeting, 
President Cunningham pointed 
out that the students on campus 
would not be in favor of such an 
increase, citing The Crusader ar- 
ticle. He went on to state that 
adding up income and outgo do 
not fully represent the situation, 
but that he did understand the 
concern. 

Cunningham also mentioned a 
rccent Wall Street Journal article 
JJjat debates the same question. 
The article claims that price in- 
dicators and the like do not sup- 
Port such large increases in the 
Price of a college education. 

However, Cunningham con 
eluded his comments by giving 
to support to the budget, in- 
dicating that it reflected the needs 



of the University to maintain 
"top quality faculty and 
facilities." The increase is also 
comparable to other schools that 
SU views itself as equal to, such 
as Lycoming and Bucknell. 

Other Financial News 
In other financial news, the 
Development and Public Rela- 
tions Committee reported that 
the Susquehanna University 
Fund has drawn in $488,000 so 
far, up $126,000 from last year at 
this point. Donations from the 
Board are at $535,000, as com- 
pared to $454,000 last year. 
Finally, Development has taken 
in $2.7 million, up $850,000 from 
last year at this time. 

The school will be undertaking 
an intensive capital campaign in 
the near future. This campaign is 
in response to a feasibility study 
done by an independent firm, 
which cited student housing and 
the endowment of the University 

as the two main areas of concern. 
Originally, SU had set a 
preliminary goal of $20 million, 
but the study indicated that 
$16-18 million is more realistic. 
Success of the campaign, ac- 
cording to the firm, will require 
personal involvement by the 
president, vice-president, and a 
coordinator, plus financial com- 
mitment from the Board and 
research. 

The faculty were granted 
salary increases starting with a 
percentage base and then an addi 
tional percentage added for merit. 
Physical plant workers and 
secretaries were awarded similar 
salary increases. 

Student Life Committee 

The Student Life Committee 
reported that there are still some 
students living in triples, but that 
overall it did not appear that the 
student body had reacted 
negatively to the overcrowding 
situation. 

The admissions office is cur- 
rently running ahead of its goal. 



Cunningham stated that the 
school may have to limit the 
number of students that it ac- 
cepts and try to increase the 
quality of the student body. The 
SAT scores of those admitted as 
early decision candidates were 
above 1000 for the first time in 
several years. 

Housing for next year is still a 
question. Since it is not possible 
to know what percentage of those 
accepted will actually enroll at 
SU, there could be overcrowding 
again next year. Possibilities in- 
clude building a Phi Mu Delta 
house similar to the Lambda and 
Theta houses, although it could 
not be done by next year. 
Another future consideration is 
building apartment-style housing 
across the railroad tracks on 
Sassafras Street. Right now, the 
University is waiting to see how 
many students they must deal 
with. 

The committee also reported 
on developments in the drug and 
alcohol policy. They cited a need 
for disciplinary procedures that 
educate the offender. Next fall 
there will be drug and alcohol 
workshops in the residence halls. 
Also, the suggestion for a part- 
time counselor for drug and 
' alcohol abuse was submitted. 

Presidential Update 

Cunningham closed the 
meeting with information about 
the University in general. The en- 
dowment is currently just over 
$10 million and rising. Applica- 
tions are up and the University 
seems to be doing well. SU has 

continued its effort to have "Bar 
ron's" (the college rating manual) 
reconsider the lowered evaluation 
of SU, but to no avail thus far. 
The admissions department has 
put together an audio-visual 
show that is being used for 
prospective students and it will be 
shown at the next Board meeting 
in May.

The new and improved Blough Learning Center Lounge furniture is 
coming soon. 



A Face Lift for Blough 



Depending on how often you 
go to the Blough Learning 
Center, or the library as most call 
it, you may have noticed some 
changes taking place there. 
Renovations in the library began 
over Christmas break, and will be 
finished in the near future. 

The building was built in 1 929, 
and it consisted of three sections. 
In 1958, the office wing was 
built, and in 1973 the back por- 
tion was added, along with a full 
second floor in the front. This 
year also marked the complete 
renovation of the old parts. New 
lighting and air conditioning were 
installed, as well as a security 
system. 

Now we are up to 1987, and 
the reasons why the present 
renovations are taking place. One 
main goal, according to Mr. 
Smillie, is to open up the lobby 
area to increase the lighting. The 
easiest way to accomplish this 
was to move the circulation desk 
to its present location. This lets 
more light in the windows. The 
exhibit cases were also removed 
to produce a more open at- 
mosphere. The ceiling tile was 
replaced, and more lighting was 
put in, radiating a warmer color 
closer to sunlight rather than in a 
blue-like color. 

A second goal of the renova 
tions is to replace some of the old, 
outdated furniture. Besides a new 
circulation desk, there will be 
new lounge and reference room 
furniture. The furniture in the 
reference room now dates back to 
1958, and it has become old and 



even a bit "tacky." The existing 
furniture upstairs, from 1973, is 
still in good shape and among the 
best library furniture. Also, a new 
reference information station will 
be set up in the area straight 
ahead as you walk in the front 
doors. 

A third goal involves the man 
ner in which one must enter and 
leave the library. With the arrival 
of the new circulation desk and 
security system, entrances and 
exits can be made from any of the 
front doors, unlike the old system 
where one was forced to exit and 
enter on the left. According to 
Mr. Smillie, the new system will 
reduce this awkwardness. 

In addition to these major 
changes, new artwork and plants 
will be distributed throughout the 
lobby and lounge areas. 

Over spring break or over the 
summer the recarpeting of the 
second floor will hopefully be 
completed. 

Because of a delay by the fur 
niture manufacturer, the renova 
tions were unable to be com 
pleted over break. However, by 
the week of Feb. 1 5, the furniture 
should be here and ready to be in- 
stalled. 

The library also wishes to an- 
nounce the purchase of a new 
coin-operated micro film 
machine. This will eliminate a 
staff member having to make 
microfilm copies. It should be 
placed next to the existing Xerox 
copier by the time this paper is in 
print.

Here On Campus 



Our Comer 



Say good-bye to week number 
4, this term is starting to move 
along. Just think, spring break is 
only a month away. Of course, 
we have to get through mid terms 
first, but let's not think about 
that. 

One note before I get into this 
week's column. I regret to an- 
nounce that Sgt. Zimmerman, 
the head of security at SU for 25 
years who retired just last 
August, died this past week. The 
Crusader extends its condolences 
to the family on behalf of the stu- 
dent body. 

Now, as 1 promised last week, 
this week's topic is the financial 
changes that have arisen. In 
other words, the cost of coming 
here just jumped a grand. 

I won't go into the numbers 
and percentages here, especially 
because they are on page one of 
this issue, but I will touch on 
some of the reasons behind the 
increase. After sitting in on the 
meeting of the Board of Directors 
and speaking with President Cun- 
ningham during his office hours, 
I have a few more details. 

At the Board meeting, Cun- 
ningham said that the increase 
was necessary to maintain top 
quality faculty and facilities. It 
was also stated that the increase 
was comparable to other schools 
of our size. 



Cunningham went beyond 
these statements in his office. 
One key reason for the increase is 
faculty compensation. He said 
that the goal of SU was to get the 
faculty salaries up to the 80th 
percentile among colleges in the 

country. Even with the increase, 
SU will fall short of this goal. The 
reason is that it is a moving 
target, the level of the 80th 
percentile keeps moving upward. 

Currently, we are at about the 
75th percentile. It would require 
about $1000 more per faculty 
member to get to the goal. SU is 
at about the middle of the group 
in faculty salaries among the 
comparable schools in our area. 
Cunningham would like to see 
SU closer to the top of the list. 

One way that SU could have 
reached its salary goal would 
, have been to raise the costs for 
students another 1.5%. How- 
ever, this was judged to be too 
large a jump for families of SU 
students. Cunningham noted that 
the present increase is indeed a 
stretch for some families now. 

One school that did increase 
their costs to raise faculty wages 
in Lafayette, who led SU's com- 
parison group of schools with a 
10.7% increase. Washington and 
Jefferson was low with 3.31%. 
This puts SU near the top of the 
range.

In addition to the faculty 
needs, other costs are also rising. 
The cost of books and periodicals 
for the library are continuing a 
steep escalation. The cost of in- 
surance for the school has and is 
climbing drastically. There are 
other reasons, such as building 
the endowment. Also, there are 
the economic indicators and the 
like that go outside the realm of 
what I wish to deal with here. 

Now don't let all this lead you 
to believe that I am happy about 
a tuition increase. I pointed out 
to Cunningham that as a student 
I am concerned about how much 
more money it costs each year, 
and that no student is going to be 
happy about paying more. 

In 1983-84, when I decided to 
come here, it cost $8600. It has 
gone up $1000 per year. I asked 
Cunningham if he could tell me 
where it would end. He said that 
it would slow and pick up with 
the price indexes, etc. In ten 
years, the cost will probably re- 
quire a little higher percentage of 
the family income than today, 
but it depends on how much the 
family income rises. Basically, it 
is an unanswerable question, 
which I knew when I asked it, but 
it was one that needed to be 
asked anyway. 

The final concern I expressed 
to Cunningham on this issue was 

the lack of debate on the proposal 
at the Board meeting. He said 
that he, too, was a little surprised. 
One reason he pointed out was 
that over two-thirds of the Board 
members had discussed it in 
separate committees or talked 
about it before the meeting. I told 
him my concern was that the 

Board could easily view the stu- 
dent body as a thing rather than 
individual students struggling to 
pay off the costs. I also told him I 
was happy to see him reference 
the article in The Crusader and 
mention that the students would 
not be in favor of such an in- 
crease. 

To sum up all this, I still don't 
feel very comfortable with a 
$1000 hike, but I don't have a 
choice. I just hope that the trend 
slows down. After next year, I'm 
out of here, but those still here 
will wind up paying even more 
than I did. 

Not a great way to start a 
weekend, but the weekend has 
just begun. Enjoy your's, and 111 
meet you back here next week.

Editor's Note: Last week a list 
of Accounting Internships was 
run in the Campus Notes section 
of the paper. Linda Frees was in- 
advertantly left off this list. She is 
serving her internship at the First 
National Trust Bank in Sunbury. 
The Crusader regrets the error. 



After eating the cafeteria food 
for three semesters, I decided to 
find out if students could improve 
the food. The food committee ser- 
vice, an SGA committee, has 
seven members who meet at least 
once a month with the cafeteria 
manager. Their job is to plan din- 
ners and make suggestions. Ellen 
Daley, the head of the commitee, 
said that there have been fewer 
complaints this year. 

Both the budget and the 
maintenance limit the options for 
improvement in the cafeteria. 
The variety of food is limited not 
only by the budget but also by 
the time it takes to prepare 
special dinners and theme nights. 
Some theme dinners that are be- 
ing arranged for this semester are 
Chinatown, Mexican, and car- 
nival night. The food service

XIII. What's the bloody point? 

Hello to everyone out there! 
We know how much you've 
missed us, but luckily we're here 
this week for you to enjoy. We 
have one topic that we would like 
to address this week: Who are 
those people with the funny ac- 
cents that have been hanging 
around here?? 

No, Monty Python has not in- 
vaded the SU campus. These 
talented people are members of 
the prestigious Royal Shakes- 
peare Company and have been 
here since Tuesday in our classes, 
in our cafeteria, and in our very 
own Weber Chapel Auditorium. 
Last evening they presented a 
unique performance entitled "An 
Evening With Pinter," and Tues- 
day afternoon they held a special 
matinee performance of 'The 
Tempest." 

Now, you may be asking 
yourself, "Gee, I didn't know 
that. I missed it." and "What's 
the point of this article anyway?" 
Well, my friend, what's the point 



by Juliet Gibson 

committee does not deal with the 
budget, only with suggestions. 
Maintenance takes a long time in 
accomplishing anything. At the 
moment, the cafeteria is waiting 
to have new locks placed on the 
doors before the new pictures can 
be hung. 

One change that has been 
made this year is the addition of 
the ice cream machine, which 
hopefully will also be a frozen 
yogurt machine. The food service 
committee is also looking into a 
dessert bar. Because cleaning up 
the cafeteria after meals takes a 
long time, the cafeteria can not 
be opened twenty-four hours. 

If you have any suggestions or 
complaints, make them to the 
food service committee. To be a 
member of the committee, a stu- 
dent must be a member of SGA. 




of life? The point is YOU 
HA VENT MISSED IT! Yes, 
there's still time to hop on the 
aesthetic train and ride that 
sucker on down to cultural 
enrichment. It's not that difficult 
to get a boarding pass. Just get 
your little caboose on over to the 
Box Office to purchase your 
ticket for tomorrow night's ex-

pick up one for your sidecar, I 
mean, your date, also. Ok, now, 
enough of this train stuff. (But 
wasn't it cute?) And I bet if you 
think real hard you can guess 
what the next line of this article is 
going to be. That's right, you 
guessed it: ADMISSION IS 
FREE WITH YOUR SU ID. 

The actors of RSC will present 
"The Tempest" Saturday night 
(that's tomorrow for those of you 
who don't do calendars) at 8 p.m. 
in Weber Chapel. You know it,

SIGMA KAPPA 

Hey dudes, and welcome to the 
all new and exciting Sigma sec- 
tion. Now that the formalities are 
over with, let's get into the 
gossip... oops, "news" of the 
week. First off, Sigma Kappa 
would like to congratulate all 
sororities on a successful rush 
and double Congrats on all your 
super pledges. Remember ... 4 = 
1 . Speaking of pledges, I'd like to 
introduce our fantastic bunch to 
all. We have welcomed into our 
pledgeship 19 of the best... Janis 
Blandy, Sunday Cahill, Carrie 
Cambell, Cindy Book, Patty- 
Anne Cardenas, Diana DeFrate, 
Terri DeMott, Merideth Den 
liker, Leslie Doll, Denise 
Guastella, Shana Hennessy, 
Laura Huber, Amy Jefferis, Kris 
Marconi, Jen Miller, Shari Miller, 
Leslie Rippard, Linda Steiner, 
and Kelly Vardon. Welcome girls 
- we really do love you all. And 
for those who fell for the boxer 
shorts threat ... PSYCH! The 
good times will continue. Speak- 
ing of good times, things got a lit- 
tle out of hand on Friday night. 
"The Boys of 305" were great and 
opened their doors to us all. Once 
again, a standing ovation to you 
guys. Chris had some awesome 
party tapes and Dan was lovin' 
the ratio that night. And who did 
those decorations?! Anyway, 
pledge Amy had a great time, we 
all know ... if only she could 
remember. Some even brought 
Vitamin L back to life. Pledge 
Janis looked like Lionel as she 



Keeping it Alive

chance to get to "know" Weber. 

Now, we're feeling pretty 
privileged right about now 
because this group of zany 
characters is only making 8 stops 
in the U.S. and we're one of 
them. (Think about it. ..50 

states. ..stopping here. ..im- 
pressive, huh?) This is one of 
those rare opportunities that 
comes only six, seven times at 
tops, in a lifetime. So let's take ad- 
vantage of it! 



carefree youth, he and a few of 
his Hare Krishna friends formed 
a radical, political group whose 

sole purpose was to banish the 
word "bloody" from the English 
language. One dark night, Lance 
and his buddies broke into the 
famous British Library and that's 

where they (the police, that is) 
found them. Frantically thumb- 
ing through the pages of original 
Shakespeare manuscripts with 
large erasers in hand, Lance and 



was dancin' on the ceiling. And 
pledge Kelly and sister Dawson 
suffered snow burns on their 
faces — explain that one, girls. 
But we all had a blast ... what was 
in that punch?! Amy, Are you 
feeling okay now? Speaking of 
feeling okay, Sister Tibaldi has 
stepped down from the "boob of 
the week" position and has 
declared sister Fuller the new 
recipient. I hope you all have 
seen Sister King's "picture from 
the past" so we can all share in 
the laughter. We love you just 
the way you are, Patti, not the 
way you were. Oh my, hit me for 
that one. On the serious side, 
Kudos to the following sisters 
who have made us proud. Will 
the following please stand and 
take a bow: Kay Czap for being 
awarded MAC Player of The 
Week for the second week in a 
row, and Linda Knutson for her 
induction into SU's national 
honor society, and to all the rest 
who I haven't mentioned. I'd like 
to add that Sisters Dawson and 
Eisenhart are in search of An- 
them ... whatever that means. 
Coming soon to a campus paper 
near you is our very own Senior 
profiles. Tammy- I can be evil! 
Phi Mu Delta - get psyched for 
tonight. I hope I'm not in too 
much trouble now. It's time to 
case this joint. I'm done, I'm 
history, I'm out of here ... until 
next week - let us part friends. 
P.S.-Quote of The Week: 

If at first you don't succeed ... 
give up, it's not worth the hassle. 



You may be wondering, how 
does Lance fit into all of this? nis consorts searched in vain to 
Well, back in Lance's wild and find tne word "bloody" and erase 



it forever. Lance subsequently 
returned to the U.S. (after a 
lengthy prison term) where he 
wallowed in his guilty conscience 
up to the present day. But now, 
now he can apologize to the 
, Royal Shakespeare Company in 
person and live a guilt-free life. 
Thus ends the Sadlek Saga for yet 
another week. 

So what's the point of all this? 
The point is come to the show 
tomorrow night! That's what 
we're trying to bloody say. Until 
next week, stay in shape with 
Roger!

Jeanne Neff, vice president for 
academic affairs at Susquehanna 
University, has been elected by 
the nation's college and universi- 
ty academic officers and deans to 
lead the American Conference of 
Academic Deans for 1987. 

ACAD is a professional net 
work of communication for chief 
academic officers and deans of 
arts and sciences. Members deal 
with issues of academic leader- 
ship, curriculum, and faculty 
development. 

Neff holds a master's degree 
from Rice University and a doc- 
torate from Carnegie-Mellon 
University. She came to Sus- 
quehanna University in 1986 
from Wheeling College of West 



Virginia where she was academic 
vice president. A fellow of the 
American Council on Education 
in academic administration, Neff 
also is a graduate of the Harvard 
University Institute of Educa 
tional Management.

Alpine Summit Meeting 



Imagine sharing a tent with a 
Soviet— what would it be like?? 

Sound interesting? You're in 
vited to come hear Rick and Amy 
Donahue recount their recent 
mountain-climbing expedition 
with other physicians and 
medical students from the Soviet 
Union. Believing that nuclear 
statistics alone will not motivate 
people to act, Rick and Amy will 
show a slide show with the hope 
to recreate the intense, positive 
emotional experiences they had 
with the Soviets. The stories of 
the trip will lead naturally into 
the discussion of the medical and 
psychological consequences of 
nuclear war and what individuals 
can do to bring us closer to dis- 
armament. 

The Donahues held a new type 
of "summit meeting," as they set 
aside the barriers of long tables 
and stuffy meeting rooms to hike 
across the Caucasus slopes and to 
share their lives with the Soviets 
for nearly a month. Crossing 
rivers, glaciers, and ascending the 
18,850 foot Mt. Elbrus became a 
new model of trust-building that 
enabled them to address sensitive 
issues. They found ways to 
understand each other's positions 
and to reach compromises which 
assured survival on the moun- 
tain. 



Rick and Amy Donahue will 
share their presentaion on Tues 
day, Feb. 10 at 12:30 p.m. in 
Meeting Rooms 3 and 4. See 
Merritt Geilfuss (x3905) for more

It's Greek to Us 



ZTA 

Good afternoon and I hope 
everyone has made it through 
fourth week! Where does the 
time go! First, the sisters would 
like to congratulate all the girls 
who decided to go Greek. Just 
remember, the name of the 
sorority doesn't make a dif- 
ference, it's what you get out of it 
that matters... 

Now, the sisters would like to 
welcome their own pledge class of 
1987: Barb Bentley, Nancy 
Heyer, Patty Kloss, Michelle 
Leuser, Bridget McKinley, Diane 
Rogers, Jennifer Varcoe, Donna 
Wilbergh, Bobbi Wilson, and Jen- 
nifer Wilson. We hope that these 
next weeks of pledging Zeta will 
be some of the happiest days you 
spend here at SU. And don't be 
surprised if you find your name 
in "It's Greek To Us!" 

1 would now like to con- 
gratulate ZTA for having the 
highest GPA for the second 
semester in a row! A 3.08 and 
this time I even contributed to 
the average. Beth, you did a great 
job in getting all the sisters and 
pledges involved in the SUF 
phonathon! Let's see that same 
turn-out when the blood drive 
comes around! 

Thanks go out to our field con- 
sultant, Tamorah Wright, who 
spent the past week with us 
through rush! We appreciate all 
the support you gave us, even if 
you forget the words at Panhel. 
ceremonies! 

On a more personal note, Pres. 
Anita Kloiber and Kathy Kloss 
will become "Cheater Jones" 
roadies this weekend when they 
welcome the band to Selinsgrove, 
and follow them out to Penn 
State for the weekend! The 
results, next week... Laura Marr, 
getting your car stuck in the 
snow is a great way to meet men! 
Beth Noble seems to need a new 
alarm clock. It seems as if the old 
one doesn't wake her up until 7 
p.m. on Sunday nights! 

Kathy K. went home this past 
w-end to see her mystery man. 
When are we going to see pic- 
tures! All the sisters and pledges 
would now like to wish pledge 
Pat Kloss a speedy recovery and 
congratulate her on becoming the 
new personnel manager at the 
Crusader Castle. And to all the 
pledges, we know where you live 
so keep that pin on at all times! 
In Zeta Love, K. 
P.S. 4 weeks til Spring Break! 



LAMBDA CHI ALPHA 

Hi, fans. First and foremost I 
would like to congratulate our 12 
newly initiated brothers. They 
are: Mark Gnapp, Kevin 
Gormley, Mike Cordas, Steve 
Haas, Joe Lawrence, Mark 
Koskulitz, Greg Marsh, Jim Con- 
way, Scott Kryzkoski, John 
Dogum, Dana Leach, and Mike 
Saragian. It's good to finally have 
you guys aboard. As usual, we 
celebrated this event in a way 
that only the Bunders can. 

The Brotherhood rocked Reed 
Friday night, as The Boys threw 
one of their now-famous bashes. 
Everyone was pleased that 
brother Close could attend con- 
sidering the fact that he had a 
rough evening. The night was 
capped when Scott Harding end- 
ed his long drought and finally 
left the ranks of the unemployed. 
Speaking of droughts, Tom Kocaj 
and Jeff Felt have not been doing 
too well at the plate lately; at last 
count, Tom was 0-7 and Jeff 
wasn't too far behind. Hope you 
guys get the old stroke back. 

Clayton Smith will hold the 
first meeting of his newly-formed 
Prune Club; contact Shaggy or 
Pat "The most popular man on 
campus" Sterret for details. We 
would like to offer our sincere 
condolances to brother Lotti 
John Lotti for his little fender- 
bender over the weekend, we 
know you were drained and it 
must have been tough to see that 
truck! I'm sure Steve Marino 
knows the number of a good 
body shop-youll just have to 
catch him between road trips! 

The current odds on John 
Mormando are 15 to 1 that he 
won't ride the trolley for three 
weeks, call 1-800-PIZZ for the 
latest line. 

Yours in Zax 

The Road Tripping Daltons 

P.S. Pat Sterret is currently 
holding a slight lead over Dougie 
S. and Clay G. for senior of the 
year. Good luck to all those 
running. 

P.S.S. We would like to thank 
The Snake and Rob Miller for the 
great job they did on our long- 
time Brother Hagar. The comics 
will never be the same. 




PHI MU DELTA 

Hiya! I hope everyone has 
recovered from the Christmas, 
uh, Winter Formal; the glassware 
was totally Inappropriate. To 
begin with, some print should 
definitely be devoted to the Hap- 
py Couple, Christine Banfer and 
Mark Manley, or was it Chris 
Banfer and Michele Manley? 
Who paid for the room, anyway? 
Cutting the rug was often fol- 
lowed by hitting the floor, but we 
won't mention any names — you 
ladies know who you are. Tim- 
mo's downfall came at the hands 
of some extremely bold Pledges. 
We're not through with you yet, 
Sons! Seriously though, it was a 
wonderous evening, thanks to 
Curtis for making it all happen, 
and thanks to Shame for dancing 
with me (my date sure wouldn't) 
and Litey's date as well- 
Saturday's followup saw the 
Special Olympics at Harry's 
House; thanks for helping me 
out, Meaney. Gene-o Cautillo 
scored a perfect 10 in the power 
events at the Mudhouse. Jayson, 
help Gene out of his flight suit. 
Also on Saturday, the Rules 
Committee came into existence, 
and the Rules Committee says, 
Oh Heck! 

Congratulations go out to the 
hockey team for a strong past 
couple of games — Third period 
action.. .Buckley, in the net, 
Breakaway... Shot— Score! 
Shot— Score! Shot— Score! 
However, in spite of the fact that 
SU had the porous Buck in net, 
they incredibly managed to win 2 
out of their last 3, who would 
have believed it? 

Birthdays this week belong to 
our illustrious President, Johnny 
Wadd Wolfe (27), Scott "Litey 
Daah-Face" Viglianti (5), and on 
Feb. 9 we have a double wham- 
my, those kings of the 5 o'clock 
shadow, Jay Vermon George (ah- 
hah) and Steve "Froggy" Costa 
"los." 

Pledge of the week (POW) goes 
to a future Lankster if ever there 
was one, Doug "I scored two 
goals last week" Wheeler. A job 
semi-well done, Son. 

And now, as promised, comes 
the Senior Profile! This week's 
subject is Todd "I love ADPi" 
Alboum. Todd is a 5'9" 
175-pounder who hails from Fan- 
wood, NJ. A computer science 
major, Todd lists his goals as find- 
ing the cure for the common 
hangnail and contributing to 
world peace. Todd, who won the 
position of Sgt. at Arms on the 
"Big Guy" campaign, says his 
pasttimes are, in order, Terry 
Greenwald, top-ten records, 
Terry Greenwald, Sorority Par- 
ties, Terry Greenwald, bothering 
Timmo about a Pledge Swap, and 
finally, Terry Greenwald. 

In closing, congrats go out to 
Dennis O'Connor and the Stars 
and Stripes from their two main 
sponsors, Budweiser and Brian 
Kahan. Pledges, remember, 
"When the goin' gets tough get 
going," "If you can't win, you 
lose," and "don't run with a stick 
in your mouth!" 

As turtle dung Pryor says, See 
Ya!! 
Tall and Skinny, Short and Fat

Thanks go to Maureen C, 
Karen M., and Lauren B. for 
hosting our bid-day party on Fri- 
day night. It was a great time! 

I hope that everyone is busy 
looking for those formal dates! I 
know that they're hard to find, 
but they're out there somewhere! 
Just because all of our pledges 
already have dates, don't worry, 
there are a few left.. .Sisters who 
wish to enter the who-can-find-a- 
date-at-the-last -possible-minute 
contest, please send your entry 
form to the house. 

Those Sisters who attended the 
Phi Mu Delta formal on Friday 
night would like to thank the 
brothers for a great time! Some 
can't remember the details, but 
know they had fun from seeing 
pictures of themselves... Thanks 
boys! 

Congratulations go out to Beth 
Ann Biml, who was lavaliered to 
Paul King of Theta Chi, in our 
first circle of the New Year! 

We'd all like to thank Patti 
Collins for her wonderful display 
of Greek Unity on Saturday, it 
was enjoyed by all! 

We would like to express our 
deepest sympathies to Claudia 
K., Kathy R., and Susie B. on the 
recent death of their beloved fish 
Jessebell. 211 Orange Street will 
be in mourning this week, and are 
planning a burial at sea. Details 
to follow at a later date. 

A few more quickies: 

Happy B-day to Sally Bittel 
and Lois Pahl! 

Congrats to Kim Gorman on 
doing a great job with the phone- 
a-thon. 

A special thanks and con- 
gratulations goes to Rush chair- 
man Michelle Zuniga...you did a 
super job kiddo! 

One final congratulations goes 
to the newly initiated brothers of 
Lambda Chi, it's about time, 
right? 

Well, I guess that's about it for 
this week, have a great weekend! 
Go out and get those dates! 
(unless, of course, you are enter- 
ing the contest....). 

Till next week... 
ALMO 



KAPPA DELTA 

Hey everyone— KD's back! 
We had to take a little break 
during Rush, but we'll be back on 
these pages from now until 
graduation. 

First off... A list of congratula- 
tions to a long list of deserving 
people. 

Congrats to all the sororities 
for another year with a successful 
week of Rush. 

Congrats to all 23 of our in- 
credible new KD Pledges: Laura 
Ambielli, Martina Androshick, 
Kate Callaghan, Cheryl Cor 
radino, Chris Del Bueno, Lauren 
Fatigati, Tracey Graczyk, Sharon 
Henderson, Angie Johnson, Jiesu 
Kim, Michelle La Brie, Nicole 
Lefchak, Sarah Luithle, Cary 
Ann Owens, Jannette Reliford, 
Debbie Sauer, Cynthia Smith, 
Alexander Stobb, Dee Tacconi, 
Nancy Taylor, Jo Anne Valuska 
and finally (the drum roll please!) 
Karen Nelson! Welcome to Kap- 
pa Delta girls! 

Also, Congrats to the newly 
initiated brothers of Lambda Chi 
Alpha. 

Finally, Congrats to the newly 
installed KD Council. 



Special Thanks goes out to 
Sister Maureen Hassett for the 
terrific job she did as Member- 
ship Chairperson and to Sister 
Roberta Bianchi for the great job , 
she did as Panhell President. 
Thanks also to the Brothers of 
Phi Mu Delta for supplying their 
KD formal dates with an 
awesome time at the Sheraton. I 
hear Dooey's version of God 
Bless America was quite spec- 
tacular. 

Now for some quick picks 
about the past weekend. Happy 
Hour is definitely a must! All the 
KD Sisters and Pledges traveled 
"Around the World" down at Phi 
Sig last Fri. And on Sat. the 
Brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon in- 
vited us down for cocktails- 
only we didn't realize that we had 
to wear Toga's— Anyway, we 
had a blast! What a bunch of 
dancing animals everyone was! 
They claim Janet Jackson was 
there, but I didn't see her. We hit 
New Men's afterwards and some 
of us went to Theta's Wilderness 
Party. Is that where you were 
Sister Michelle Vickers? Pledges 
Jannette and Melissa certainly 
looked like lumberjacks. Does 
anyone know how Pledge Mar- 
tina wound up with a big, green 
KD written on her face? 

Sister Trish Hill was up this 
weekend and she met with 
"Trish 's Kids" (no relation to 
Jerry's). Sister's Karen Doty and 
Stephanie Folgia were also 
spotted on campus. Sister Barb 
"Iggy" Ignatieffs man was also 
visiting. (What was that question 
they asked you down at the 
house Ig?) 

That's about it! Remember 
Pledges— Don't forget to wear 
your pins and you never know 
what's going to happen next! 

As Sister Lauren Bodmer 
always says, "'Kay Bye-bye!" 
Love in AOT, 
P. La Belle 



Friday, February 6, 1987— THE CRUSADER-Page 5 



PHI SIGMA KAPPA 

Greetings from the avenue and 
how 's its hangin', dude or 
dudette? Back by popular re- 
quest, this week's letter is a joint 
effort by John "Sid" Snyder and 
Dennis "Buddha" Sansiveri. First 
of all, a "good job done" goes out 
to our pledges who had a suc- 
cessful party ,ast Friday night. 
Our pledges also did a good job 
n Saturday at the Bird Cage pet 
store where Phi Sig ran a Rabies 
clinic for local pets. If you guys 
keep this up, you might be in 
before October. 

The Phi Sig soccer team 
opened up its 1987 season with a 
tie against The Dead Heads. The 
MVP awards go out to Mike 
"Bozo" Bendorf and Matt 
"Democrat" Walker. Bozo scored 
two goals with the tying goal 
coming with five seconds left on 
the clock from a pass from Messy 
Marvone. Walker had two 
assists, five minutes in the penal- 
ty box for checking and a two- 
game misconduct penalty. Goalie 
Jim Hilker also played a great 
game. Good job guys! The Phi 
Sig basketball team won their 
game last week against Phi Mu. 
Jeff Katt, keep up the good work. 
Scouts from the Ethiopian league 
will be in the area next week 
looking for players. 

Attention: All students or 
faculty interested in Spud, the 
new SU spud league is in the pro- 
cess of being formed for a spring 
season. If interested call Rob An- 
cipink at 374-SPUD. Also, for 
sale this week, podiums, like the 
ones found in Steele and Bogar. 
Look for Rob Miller on campus 
for details. All transactions kept 
confidential. 

Last Friday night we also held 
the first of the bi-weekly Dart 
Head raffle. The winner was 
number 6. Congrats to the win- 
ner and all you who didn't win, 
don't forget to get a ticket for this 
week's drawing. 

Last week also brought back to 
Phi Sig one of our favorite alum- 
ni, Lou Blatt. Dr. Blatt was in the 
area for an interview and decided 
to spend a few days at the house. 
In the process, he gave courtesy 
lessons to John Fones, and 
dancing and wrestling lessons to 
Doug Schnell. 

The house had been going 
through extensive renovation the 
past few weeks. With help from 
numerous technical experts, we 
have been improving our sound 
system and party facilities in- 
cluding an addition on the house 
with hot-tubs, imported Italian 
tile floors, and full-size squash 
and bocci courts. All this and an 
education too! Where can you 
beat it? 

Since February is upon us, it is 
time once again for the Senior 
Profiles. This week's brother is 
Matthew J. Walker. Matt is a 
Finance major with a 3.75 GPA 
from Wellesley, Mass. He is now 
hiding on either getting a job in 
June or prolonging maturing, and 
8°ing on to graduate school. 
Matt was a RA his sophomore 
year where he doubled as a nark 
for the water rat. He has been 
e, ected to the Order of Omega 
and Who's Who in American 
Alleges and Universities. He is 
Planning a May 1990 marriage to 
his three-year sweetheart here at 



SU. He asked that we keep her 
name out of the letter so their 
relationship can stay a secret. 
Matt enjoys a friendly game of 
Spud or listening to his extensive 
tape collection. In his spare time, 
he is the rap-advisor for RUN 
DMC and is currently working 

on his third book, "Keeping Your 
Parents Away From Your 
Fraternity House For Four 
Years." Our memories of Matt 
will include such sayings as 
"break that bad boy out...," and 
"There's some serious shat going 
on here..." I will personally 
remember "If you're doing one 
Buddha, 111 have one too." 

Ok, thanks, Buddha; in closing, 
I'd like to add that the SU Ice 
Hockey club had quite a 
weekend, but took on a loss to 
Bucknell tonight after one frig- 
gin' intense game.. .score 6-4. 
There was a really cool fan ses- 
sion out there, but it would have 
been cooler to see more faces. 

God, I'm in pain... This just in— 
we beat one of the Theta teams 
by 8 in basketball tonight, and a 
loss to the Fresh- Frosh in soccer 
as well. Hey, how 'bout that new 
crazy bunch of guys on campus... 

Gamma Delta Iota is combining 
partying with us this weekend. 
We hope pledge Dizzy recovers 
from that broken leg soon, but 
look for Cocoa taking his place 
on the dance- floor. Rock on, 
guys. 



Hope to see you all down a the 
Inn tonight for shrimp and 
suds.... Dead dates at the Spec- 
trum are March 29, 30, 31. 
Tickets go on sale 28 Feb. 

That's all, a- pore.

Reelin ' 



THETA CHI 

Hello, Chieftains and 
Chieftesses. Well it's another 
week and nothing much to write, 
but 111 try. This past weekend 
was a busy one for the up-and- 
coming band, Anthem. Friday 
night they were spotted at the 
King James Palace, and Saturday 
at Whitey's. For those of us who 
did not attend the Saturday show 
were lucky enough to attend the 
first annual Wilderness Party. 
Keep spinnin' that vinyl, Geno! 

A belated thanks go out to 
brothers Reiland and Lose for 
their hellacious uptown party 
two weeks ago. On the sports 
front, the Theta Chi hoopsters 
left the gate with an impressive 
2-0 record. The Theta Chi indoor 
soccer club sports a 1-0-1 record, 
tying the Danglers with a 
nailbiting goal in the closing 
minutes of the game. 

A few quickies: 

Missing- Pledge Marshall Tom 
McNairy. 

Found- Coogie and Milstead. 

Greg, how about a new party 
tape. 

Rog, does Noah's swollen blue 
ankle remind you of anything? 

Congratulations to all the 

sororities with their new pledges. 

Until next week, 

Scuba

I know you all are expecting to 
hear from your regular reviewer 
this week, but if you'll give me 
half a chance I'll try to explain 
what happened. See, this guy 
came into the Quik-Stop where 
I'm a checker and bought a case 

of antacid. Naturally I asked him 
why. He said he was a movie 
reviewer and that these tablets 
were for the movie he just seen. 
When he told me what it was I 
liked to've jumped up 'n' down 
with excitement. 

So he told me, Good, I could 
darn well review the thing and 
darned if he wasn't serious! So 
here imy review is. I hope it ain't 
too bad. I had to whip it up in a 

hurry. And permit me to in- 
troduce myself. My name is 
Loretta LaWanda LePaige. 
LePaige is my married name. I'm 
French on my husband's side. 



Anyway, how it happened was 
that me 'n' Yancy was sitting in 
the trailer one night watching the 
tv when there was a knock on the 
door. Yancy opened it and who's 
standing there but my best friend 
Inez, all done up in a new outfit. 
As Inez said, "I always feel like 
dressing nice when I knew 
CLINT's gonna cuss and blow 
things up." 



It's Greek 
To Them 

GAMMA DELTA IOTA 



Hello, fellas! The boys are back 
from Penn State and left them 
trying to get the lint out of their 
underwear, huh, Winston? We 
would like to welcome the new 
pledges of Gamma Delta Iota and 
will make pledging a pleasure: 
let's not forget those 4:30 dinners, 
kids, and make sure you only 
take two crackers with your soup. 
Some of the brothers caught 
some steam this past weekend 
from the university. To begin 
with, Brother Waldo was found 
molesting the bushes in front of 
the Campus Center and it seems 
his punishment will be watching 
how many times a dryer spins in 
45 minutes. Brother Zanzibar 
was shot through the heart when 
Pooky, his woman, successfully 
shoved a block of linoleum up his 
nose. No more stuffy noses for 
old Zanz! Elwood will be leaving 
today to go get tickets in Hum- 
mels Wharf for "Weird Al's" sold- 
out concert at K-Mart. Since 
Cocoa did so well with the Shake- 
and Bake fundraiser, Buckwheat 
decided to take charge of the Pat- 
sy Cline sound-alike contest, so 
clean your throats out, boys. On- 
ly eleven weeks to go till we're 
free, and do we mean free! Till 
168 hours from now! 

In Gamma gratitude, 
—The Everly Brothers 



This movie was HEART 
BREAK RIDGE, where CLINT 
played a he-man general who had 
to whip a bunch of pansies into 
fightin' shape. I love watchin' 
pansies gettin' whipped into 
shape. CLINT makes them do 
about 5000 pushups and 
threatens them with (whisper) 
anal sexuality. This is all to make 
them into men, you see. 

So then they go to some en- 
chilada country down south to 
liberate red-blooded Americans 
and blow stuff all to heck. Cause 
when it comes to makin' men and 
blowin' up countries, ain't 
nobody better than CLINT. And 
don't Hollywood know it! 

Now there are some in our 
trailer park who don't like 
CLINT, or even CHUCK or SLY 
for that matter. They say 
violence is low and senseless and 
that people who like to see Com- 
mies get napalmed are insecure, if 
not mentally deranged. They say 
that lots of useless violence 
cheapens both movies and us 
folks who enjoy it. 

Anyway, on the way home, 
Yancy was telling how glorious it 
was when he was at war. (Frank- 
ly, I can't remember which war 
Yancy was at but I guess it don't 
matter.) "We sure kicked some 
commies' butts then," he said, 

"We showed how great we 
ourselves were, even if we had to 
flatten a village to do it!" He 
punched the air with his fist, 
nearly knocking out one of my 
Elvis earrings. 



Inez said that she like 
HEARTBREAK RIDGE cause 
it was about a different war than 
'Nam. "Sometimes I get sick of 
'Nam. I'm glad this was about a 
new war. Plus, CLINT sure 
cussed a lot." 

I smiled and adjusted Yancy's 
RAM BO belt buckle. "One thing 
about CLINT, he sure knows his 
audience. All his movies are 
made for a certain type of person, 
that's all there is to it." 

Inez was putting on a third 
coat of green eyeshadow. "Yeah. 
Like us folks." 

Yancy drove toward our 
trailer, passing some of those 
folks who don't like CLINT. 
"Yeehaw!" he yelled out the win- 
dow. "Some folks will never 
learn." 

I liked to've jumped up 'n' 
down, I was laughing so hard. 
We sped away in a cloud of 
squeals and dust. HEART- 
BREAK RIDGE was still clean 
ing up at the box office. People 
like us will always have the last 
laugh. People like us and CLINT.

The Pub is Coming 



SU Celebrates the Constitution 



This coming September, Sus- 
quehanna students will have a 
new place to spend their 
weekends: at the school's new 
non-alcoholic nightclub. The 
nightclub will be located in the 
lower level of the Degenstein 
Campus Center, in the Grotto. 
The Student Government Asso- 
ciation has been working on the 
nightclub for the past two years 
and will finally be seeing their 
hard work pay off. 

What began as a mere idea in 
November 1985, followed by a 
proposal by the Non-Alcoholic 
Nightclub Task Force on behalf 
of the Student Government 
Association in February 1 986, is 
finally becoming a reality, as ♦he 
final plans for the nightclub are 
being completed. The task force, 
led by Tim Laubach, suggested 
many purposes for a non- 
alcoholic nightclub. 

With more strict alcoholic 
policies being enforced, many 
students are looking for alter- 
natives to Susquehanna's usual 
nightlife. Not only would 
students be able to dance and 
socialize, but also, the nightclub 
would provide a prime location 
for formals, coffee houses, small 
band performances, speeches, 
and luncheons.

In addition, the nightclub 
could be used as a practicum for 
communications majors, manage- 
ment internships, and work study 
programs. Furthermore, the 

nightclub would be a good selling 
feature for prospective Sus- 
quehanna students. 

This past October, the SGA 
continued by sending out a 
referendum to all students to vote 
for or against the nightclub. Of 
the 42% of the students who 
returned their ballots, a resound- 
ing 87% supported the non- 
alcoholic nightclub. The Parents 
Association agreed to support the 
proposals, followed by the Stu- 
dent Life Committee of the 
University Board of Directors, 
which unanimously voted to 
back and support the nightclub. 
With all of the obvious support, 
the SGA went ahead full-force 
with its plans. 

The SGA began by researching 
other schools which had non- 
alcoholic nightclubs. Delaware 
Valley gave Susquehanna many 
good ideas. Several SGA 
members, including president Jim 
Faust, and school administrators, 
attended the National Leadership 
Conference in St. Louis, where 
many schools about the same size 
as Susquehanna told of the suc- 
cess of their nightclubs. 

West Chester University, for 
example, with their aptly- 
named "Cheers" nightclub, has 
been successfully serving Blood- 
less Marys, Strawberry-Banana 
Daiquiris, popcorn, and pretzels 
since 1984. They find that their 
different theme nights, such as a 



"heavy metal" night, are par- 
ticularly successful. 

With all these examples, the 
SGA had enough ideas to bring 
to the architect, Stan Seiple. The 
blueprints of the nightclub in- 
clude a dance floor, with a laser 
jukebox, one of the few at East 
Coast colleges. The two styles of 
seating areas include an area with 
a greenhouse motif, filled with 
plants, and an area fashioned 
after an old English pub. There 
will also be a D.J. booth and 
room for small bands to perform. 

The SGA will be holding inter- 
views in April for a manager of 
the nightclub. Also, the SGA 
welcomes any suggestions for a 
name for the club. Anyone with 
any ideas should send them to the 
SGA office through campus mail. 

The SGA president, Jim Faust, 
who has worked hard at making 
the nightclub a success, welcomes 
any advice, suggestions, and even 
complaints, saying, "It will great- 
ly benefit student life on campus 
by providing an alternative on 
weekends ... Similar projects have 
been popular on other campuses 
this size. I feel it will be just as 
popular on this campus ... and 
everything about it has been from 
the input and ideas of the student 
body." 

Most students agree with Jim 
Faust. Says freshman Roberta 
Rice, "As one of the newer 
students on campus, I think it's a 
great idea! The non-alcoholic 
nightclub just helps to prove that 
you can still have a great time at 
school without drinking if you 
want."

With the bicentennial of the 
Constitution of the United States 
comes Susquehanna University's 
12-week historical and contem- 
porary study of the document 
starting Feb. 2. 

The free forum, conducted by 
the Office of Continuing Educa- 
tion and the School of Arts and 
Sciences, will be held each Mon- 
day through April 20 from 7 to 9 
p.m., in Meeting Room 2 of the 
Degenstein Campus Center. 
Each meeting will involve view- 
ing a videotape segment of the 
series The Constitution: That 
Delicate Balance," followed by an 
hour of discussion led by Gerald 
Gordon, professor of history at 
Susquehanna, and Gene Urey, 
associate professor of political 
science at the university. 

"The series will provide the 
community the in-depth oppor- 
tunity to study the political, 
religious, and personal interpreta- 
tions of the Constitution," said 
JoAnne Wray, Susquehanna's 
director of continuing education. 
"This kind of close investigation 
will enable individuals to draw 
their own conclusions concerning 
some of the Constitution's con- 
troversial aspects." 

"The Constitution: That 
Delicate Balance," draws 



together a wide variety of public 
figures and experts, including 
former President Gerald Ford, 
television commentator Bill 
Moyers, and former Senator Ed 
mund Muskie, in exploring such 
topics as Presidential vs. Congres- 
sional powers, the Criminal 
Justice System, and Affirmative 
Action. 

The forum also will feature 
several local experts. Among 
those scheduled to appear are 
Pennsylvania State Repre 
sentative John Showers, Snyder 
and Union Counties Common 
Pleas Judge Wayne Bromfield, 
and Selinsgrove attorney Marvin 
Rudnitsky. 

Persons should register for the 
sessions prior to Feb. 2 by con- 
tacting the Office of Continuing 
Education at 372-4354. 



Next week The Crusader 
will be running a Valentine 
Page so any of you out 
there who would like to 
send that special someone 
that Valentine's Day 
message have it submitted 
to The Crusader via 
campus mail by 4:00 p.m.

Grapplers Drop Two 



On January 31, the Sus- 
quehanna Crusader grapplers 
traveled to Johns Hopkins to par- 
ticipate in a triangular meet with 
University of Penn and the host 
Johns Hopkins University. 

In the first match, the 
Crusaders went head-to-head 
with Johns Hopkins in a truly ex- 
citing and climactic match. The 
contest started with three forfeits. 
Susquehanna was forced to 
forfeit at 1 18 lbs. and at 134 lbs., 
while Johns Hopkins gave up the 
six team points at 126 lbs. So, 
entering the 142 lbs. bout, the 
Crusaders found themselves 
down 12-6. 

That did not last for long, as 
Susquehanna got a fine effort 
from Gary Allmers at 142 lbs. on 
a 17-0 technical fall and the score 
was knotted at 12-12. 

Forced to forfeit again at 150 
lbs., the Crusaders were once 
again down by six points. This 
was made up quickly as Chris 
Labrecque pinned Ted Rosen- 
weiz from JH in 3:39. The score 
was tied at 18-18, but there was- 
more to come. 

At 167 lbs., George Sax 
defeated Tim Rosenweiz 10-4 
and, at 177 lbs., Paul Lesica 
humbled Lynn Voss 1 8-5 to give 
the Crusaders a 26-18 lead with 
two bouts to go. 

Johns Hopkins' Brian Bolinger 
registered a fall over Dave 
Jimison in 3:10 to draw JH to 
within two points, at 26-24. In a 
hard-fought match, Susquehan- 
na's Greg Carl came up short in 
his unlimited bout against Tom 
Kalup 10-9 and the Crusaders 
dropped the match 27-26. Ex- 
cluding forfeits, the Crusader 
grapplers put on a great effort 
and actually won 20-9 



In the second contest, the 
Crusaders met University of 
Pennsylvania. Once again, 
forfeits hurt Susquehanna and 
the Crusaders were forced to give 
up 1 8 charity points. 

After a Susquehanna forfeit at 
118 lbs., Bob Gude was pinned 
by Jean Charles of Penn in 1:48. 
When you add another forfeit by 
Susquehanna at 134 lbs., the 
result is a 18-0 Penn lead. 

The 142 lbs. match proved to 
follow the pattern of the match, 
as Gary Allmers dropped a 9-6 
decision to Penn's Larry Cofsky. 
The 150 lbs. match was forfeited 
by the Crusaders and the score 
was 27-0 in Penn's favor. 

Being out of the match, the 
Crusaders were now wrestling for 
respect. At 158 lbs., Chris 
Lebrecque defeated Todd Sycoff 
13-3, and 167-pounder George 
Sax lost a tough match to Brian 
Klaus of Penn 5-3. 

The last three matches were all 
pins. At 177, Susquehanna's Paul 
Lesica registered a fall over Ian 
Juliano in 1:07. Dave Jimison 
was stopped by Penn's Tony 
Castellani in 1:35 of the first 
period to make the score 36-10. 
Dave Carl wrapped up the 
scoring for Susquehanna with a 
fall at 3:53 to produce the final 
36-16 tally. 

With the two losses, the 
Crusader matmen dropped to 2-7 
on the season. 

Susquehanna will be back in 
action tomorrow at Gettysburg, 
when they face Swarthmore 
University, York College, and the 
host Gettysburg College.

Friday, February 6, 1987-THF CRUSADER-Page 7 



SGA News 



The Student Government 

I Association held its first regular 

I meeting of 1987 on February 2 in 

[seibert Model Classroom. After 

roll call was taken, the minutes of 

the previous meeting were ap- 

[ proved. 
The senators first took a 

I survey given by the Capital Cam- 
paign which is a campaign by 
Susquehanna University to in- 
crease endowment and fund 
raising. On the survey the 
senators had to rank what they 
felt were the university's greatest 
needs such as an increase in 
scholarships or renovation of the 

'residence halls. Next, a report 
was given by Donald Aungst, the 
controller of the university, on 
the tuition increase for next year. 
He stated that the increase would 

[be 9.49% with the fees being 
$8625 for tuition. $1590 for 

[ board, and $1610 for room for a 



total of $1 1,825. He said such an 
increase was needed so that Sus- 
quehanna would remain "com- 
petitive" with 1 9 other schools os 
similar stature in Pennsylvania 
such as Bucknell University and 
Gettysburg College. He also men- 
tioned that Susquehanna was in 
the "middle of the pack" in ex- 
penses with respect to the 19 
other schools being compared. 
He also reported that Susquehan- 
na's Board of Directors also voted 
in a $25 increase in the student 
activity fee which is less than the 
proposed $50 increase. There will 
be a student forum in the near 
future so that students may ex- 
press their views on the increase. 
In other news, the Sociology 
Club was officially approved. It is 
a club for all students interested 
in a career in sociology. The 
English Club, German Club, and 
Operations Management Club 



also were approved additional 
funding. They will get $300, 
$175, and $250, respectively. The 
Christian Concert Committee 
was turned down for official 
recognition due to a lack of 
undergraduate members. The 
SGA executive elections for 
president, vice-president, 
secretary, and treasurer will be 
held February 24. The SGA an- 
nual dinner will be held February 
26. Chris Del Bueno was ap- 
proved as the new parlimen- 
tarian. Treasurer Doug Carlson 
reported that there is $8,650 in 
the SGA treasury. The new 
Crusader Castle managers were 
also approved. 

The next meeting will be held 
February 16 in meetings rooms 3 
& 4. If you have any questions, 
especially about the tuition in- 
crease, contact the SGA office.

Women Have a Tough Week 



On the court, the Susquehanna 
women's basketball team lost two 
of three games played this week. 
January 29th proved to be a day 
of defeat against Bloomsburg 
University as well as January 
31st against top rival 
Elizabethtown. However, the 
tables were turned and the 
Crusaders earned a well-deserved 
victory against Albright. 

Looking back, Bloomsburg 
outscored the host Susquehanna 
squad 69-53. With the Crusaders 
down at the half by 15 points, 
victory was pursued in the second 
half but denied. Bloomsburg's 
Theresa Larensi was the major 
competitive threat as she 
dominated the court with 32 
points for the day. Senior captain 
Beth Noble and Junior fricia 



Ross split the top scoring for the 
Crusaders at 12 points a piece 
with Freshman Andrea Heinz 
following with 9 points in the 
hoop. Noble recorded the most 
rebounds of the day as she tallied 
8 off the glass while Heinz gained 
six. 

Elizabethtown, now ranked 
second in the nation among Divi- 
sion III schools, traveled to 
Houts Gymnasium to match up 
with one of their top competitors. 
The Susquehanna fans filled the 
gym to cheer on the determined 
Crusaders. Victory was not 
rewarded to the home team as the 
undefeated E-town won 62-49. 
The first five on the court for the 
day were Noble, Ross, Heinz, 
Captain Kay Czap and Lona 
Bonner. Czap the top scoring sen- 



sation, put 20 points worth in the 
bucket. Noble trailed Czap in the 
scoring with 1 1 and Kelly Clem- 
mer came off the bench to add 6 
for the Crusaders. 

In Reading, Susquehanna 
finally tasted victory 80-67 over 
the Lions. Czap once again was 
the leading scorer with a career- 
high 25 points, while dishing out 
11 assists. Noble, who scored a 
season-high 18 points, and 
Heinz's career-highs of 17 points 
and 1 1 rebounds helped the SU 
inside game. 

This Susquehanna team, now 
with a record of 8-6, 5-2 in the 
Middle Atlantic Conference 
(MAC)-NW, will be back in 
action on Saturday at Messiah.

Learn About The Appalachian Semester 



Dr. James Cox will be on 
campus on Thursday, Feb. 12 to 
meet with students who want to 
learn more about one of the ap- 
proved Susquehanna off -campus 
programs called the Appalachian 
Semester. Dr. Cox is director of 
this program and a faculty 
member at Union College, KY 
where the program is located. 

The Appalachian Semester 
operates every fall semester at 
Union College. It is an inter- 
disciplinary program in the social 
sciences which challenges 
students to explore firsthand the 
life-style, the problems, the 
"Whs, and the realities of the 
southern Appalachian highlands, 
^rses, internships, and field 
^ps are combined into an in- 
tegrated experience that exposes 
students to the changing pattern 
of culture, land use, economy, 
Nitics, and social structure of 
th e region. Special emphasis is 
P'aced upon the interaction of 
"tountain people with the major 
currents of social change in 



modern America. The semester 
consists of 1 5 hours of academic 
credit made up of 9 hours of 
sociology and 6 hours of intern- 
ship in a variety of disciplines. 

Dr. Cox is interested in 
meeting students who want to 
learn more about his program. 
Several past participants from 
Dickinson and Union Colleges 
will accompany him to the Sus- 
quehanna campus. They will 
have a display table outside the 
Campus Bookstore from 1 1 : 1 5 to 
1:15 on Thursday, Feb. 12. In- 
terested students should stop at 



the table and introduce 
themselves. A private appoint- 
ment in a quieter atmosphere can 
be arranged for later in the day. 
Dr. Cox also has a slide presenta- 
tion which illustrates the various 
aspects of the experience. 

The Appalachian Semester is 
one of Susquehanna's "approved" 
off-campus programs which 
means that students may apply 
most of their financial aid 
package to the program. It also 
means that grades in addition to 
credits are automatically trans- 
ferable back to Susquehanna.

NOTES FROM 



Men and Women of Sus- 
quehanna: 

In the basement of Selinsgrove 
Hall, in a room with a ceiling too 
low for me to stand upright com- 
fortably, a wonderful woman 

works with great intensity and 
enthusiasm. Perhaps you know 
Sachiko Presser; she is the 
woman about whom I am 
writing. 

Sachiko is in charge of the 
"General Services," and from her 
basement office she supplies the 
university with the materials 
needed to run our offices and 

monitors the out-going mail of 
the university. While this is 
Sachiko's official position, she 



"What should I do with my life?" 
Come and listen 
for a word 
of guidance.

also serves the university com- 
munity in a host of ways through 

the Women's Auxiliary, by 
serving as a translator for the 
faculty and students from Senshu 
University who studied at Sus- 
quehanna this summer, and by 
advising the international 
students who are currently at 
Susquehanna. 

Much of Sachiko's work goes 
unnoticed, but our administra- 
tion would be crippled without 
her work and our vitality as a 
community would be lessened 
without her smile. 

If you get a chance, stop by the 
General Services room in the

make Sachiko's acquaintance.

Hunting for a Playoff 



The Crusaders of Susquehanna 
University are still in the hunt for 
a Middle Atlantic Conference 
(MAC)-Northern Division play- 
off spot, despite losing their only 
league game of the week to 
Elizabethtown. 

In the battle with the Blue 
Jays, Susquehanna trailed 40-28 
with fifteen seconds left in the 
first half, before freshman guard 
Jim Burke hit a three-pointer 
from the top of the key to cut the 
lead to nine. After a missed shot 
by Elizabethtown, Jay Thatcher 
scored at the buzzer off of a long 
Keith Delaporte pass to cut the 
halftime deficit to 40-33. 

The momentum from the late 
surge before halftime carried over 
to the start of the second half for 
the Orange and Maroon as they 
scored six of the first eight points 
to start the half, and cut the lead 
to 42-39 after freshman center 
Eton McLoughlin's thunderous 
slam dunk off a pass from Burke 
at the 17:05 mark of the second 
half. 



Two three-point buckets by 
Elizabethtown's Nate Webber, 
who made six of eight shots from 
three-point range, helped push 
the Blue Jay advantage back to 
11 just three minutes later. SU 
was unable to get any closer than 
nine points down the rest of the 
way as their overall record 
dropped to 6-12, while their 
MAC NW record fell to 6-6 after 
the 88-67 loss. 

McLoughlin's career -high 18 
points was high for the 
Crusaders, while Burke con- 
tributed 14 points and Delaporte 
chipped in with 1 markers. Web- 
ber and center Steve Swope, the 
two team captains, led the way 
for the winners with 29 and 24 
points respectively. 

Donald J. Harnum's squad 
then traveled to Carlisle, Pa., to 
take on the Red Devils of Dickin- 
son College. Paced by four 
players scoring in double figures 
and a strong second half defen- 



SPORTS CORNER 



With the opening day of 
baseball season just 60 days 
away, many of the big-name free 
agents are accusing the owners of 
practicing collusion, which is a 
collective effort by the owners to 
drive player salaries down. 

Players such as Lance Parrish, 
Tim Raines, Andre Dawson and 
Bob Horner are all searching for 
new teams for the upcoming 
season, after failing to sign with 
their old squads by the January 
7th deadline. Now these players, 
and seven others, are unable to 
talk with their former clubs until 
one month into the regular 
season.

This whole collusion business 
started last year, when Tiger out- 
fielder Kirk Gibson didn't receive 
what he believed was a legitimate 
offer from the rest of the major 
league clubs and resigned with 
Detroit. Then earlier this off- 
season, Tiger pitcher Jack Morris 
offered himself to four teams and 
found no takers, once again 
leading to accusations that there 
was collusion between the 
owners. Morris then agreed to go 
to arbitration and stay with the 
Tigers. 

Both of these players are All- 
Star caliber and would have made 
a difference for some other 
teams. However, with Morris 
asking for 1 .9 million dollars per 
year, no wonder he didn't have 
any takers. Who in their right 
mind is going to go out and spend 
nearly two million for a player, 
when everyone is trying to cut 
back on expenses. 

Since the beginning of free 
agency, player salaries have risen 
at an astronomical pace, but after 
being burned by long term, 
guaranteed-salary players that 
don't produce, the owners are 
getting smart in cutting back 
salaries.

sive effort, Susquehanna over- 
came a four-point halftime lead 
by the Red Devils to post a 71-60 
victory. 

Senior captain Bruce Merk- 
linger was the leading scorer with 
20 points, while pulling down a 
game-high 17 rebounds. Burke 
added 1 4 points to the Crusaders 
cause, with McLoughlin and Di- 
mond popping home 12 and 11 
points apiece. 

Susquehanna's defense also 
played well, holding Dickinson to 
only 28 second-half points and 
forcing the losers to shoot only 
38.3 percent from the floor in the 
game. SU also controlled the 
boards, outrebounding their op- 
ponent 37-26. 

The victory upped the 
Crusader record to 7-12. They are 
back in action Tuesday at 
Messiah to play the Falcons at 8 
p.m.

As of today, Parrish is still 
negotiating with the Phillies after 
turning down their one million 
dollar contract for one year, 
because he wanted it to be 
guaranteed for more than one 
season due to his back problems. 
If he is unable to sign with some- 
one else because the other teams 
are also unwilling- to guarantee 
his contract for more than a year, 
how can the players cry collu- 
sion. 

With his injured back, that he 
says is healed, there is the 
possibility he could get hurt 
during spring training and never 
play one inning, and his new 
owner will have been burned. 

As far as the other free agents 
mentioned earlier, Raines is sup- 
posedly negotiating with the 
Dodgers and Braves, while 
Dawson is almost a sure bet to 
hook on with the Cubs, since 
they dealt away Ron Cey to cut 
their payroll enabling them to af- 
ford Dawson. 

World Series MVP Ray 
Knight, who is also a free agent, 
received his final offer from the 




Jim Dimond (32) scores over Elizabethtown center Steve Swope (33) as 
Jim Burke (40) and Keith Delaporte (42) looks on. 



Baltimore Orioles at $450,000 for 
one year. This is a far cry from 

the $800,000 contract offered to 
you by the Mets, how about it 
Ray? Maybe now you can fulfill 
your dream of playing in Atlanta. 

Ron Guidry, the hard- 
throwing southpaw of the 
Yankees, is also making himself 
available to other teams, with the 
Astros, Orioles and Giants all ex- 
pressing considerable interest in 
the former Cy Young Award 
winner. 

Rumors of a blockbuster trade 
between the Dodgers and the 
Yankees are probably not true, 
but it has been mentioned if the 
Yankees could sign Raines, they 
would be willing to deal Ricky 
Henderson to Los Angeles for 
pitcher Orel Hershiser. 

The best line of the off-season 
has to go to Texas Ranger 
general manager Tom Grieve. 
When asked about the possibility 
of signing Horner, the Ranger 
executive claimed, "I heard he 




was embarrassed by the three- 
year, 4.5 million dollar offer 
made to him by the Braves. I 
don't want to add to his embar 
rassment." No word is out about 
any teams contacting Horner 
because of his high salary 
demands.

tween the Bears and the Patriots,

Steve Grogan in the end zone.

What recently inducted Hall of 
Fame baseball player is responsi 
ble for the current free agent

what is happening with the free 
agents that I've talked about, and

tournament and conference

Architects Audit Facilities 



On Februry 2-5, something 
unusual occurred at Susquehan- 
na University. The facilities were 
audited by Spillman Farmer 
Architects of Bethlehem, Penn- 
sylvania. What is so special about 
that? According to Dr. Neff, 
Vice-President of Academic Af- 
fairs, such an audit is done only 
once every twenty-five years. 
What is a facilities audit? Ac- 
cording to Dr. Neff, a facilities 
audit is an overall evaluation and 
assessment of the primary and 
residential facilities and their pre- 
sent conditions. 

The audit will occur over three 
time periods. The first time 
period, which was February 2-5, 
had as its main purpose to see 
what the university community 
thought of the facilities and to see 
what improvements could be 
made. Some of the negatives 
mentioned include poor climate 



control in Seibert Hall, improper 
classroom furnishings in Bogar 
Hall, the geology accommoda- 
tions in the Fisher Science Hall 
are poor, and the residence halls 
of Smith, Reed, and Aikens are 
too similar. These are just a few 
of the complaints. Some of the 
improvements mentioned include 
the creation of a multi-purpose 
room and the expansion of the 
weight room in the Physical 
Education Center and the crea- 
tion of new parking lots. The 
architects also did an evaluation 
of the facilities. One architect 
stated that the only areas that 
they looked at were the negative 
aspects of the facilities. 

Based on what the architects 
and community saw as needing 
improvements, the architects will 
work on blueprints with the im- 
provements included. Then they 
will return again in mid-February 



for an evaluation of these 
blueprints. Finally, they will 
make additional blueprints based 
on this evaluation and will return 
again in March for campus re- 
action to the new blueprints. 

Dr. Neff stated that nothing 
definitive will come from the 
audit, but added that it is 
necessary for "the overall 
coherence to the campus so that 
everything looks the same and 
traffic flows in the same 
direction." She also said that the 
cost of the audit is less than 1% 
of what is spent on the facilities. 
She also mentioned that she was 
pleased at the campus response to 
the audit and would like anybody 
who has a suggestion to improve 
the facilities to attend the next 
"Open House" for the audit, to be 
held in mid-February.

The 1986 SUF Phonathon was a huge success, and you can tell these 
students had a blast! For more information about the Phonathon's going 
this year, and how you can get involved, see below and page 6. 

SUF Phonathon Update 



Disciplinary Review Released 



Dean Anderson of the Student 
Life Office has released a review 
of the disciplinary actions taken 
during the first semester and sec- 
ond semester so far. 

Fifty-nine students, not in- 
cluding fraternities or project 
houses, were involved in formal 
disciplinary hearings during the 
first semester. This number is 
about normal and includes 
residence halls only. Six to ten 
more incidents occurred which 
were handled by security because 
they involved areas outside the 
residence halls, such as the 
cafeteria or bookstore. 

Students involved could 
choose between having an ad- 
ministrative hearing or Student 
Judiciary Board hearing. No one 
chose the Student Judiciary 
Board. Punishments include 
warnings, probation, fines, and/or 
restitution, if damage resulted. 

There were four major cases 
during the first semester. Two 
students were placed on 
disciplinary probation for a full 
school year because of a fight in a 
residence hall. 



Five students were punished 
for breaking into the Snack Bar. 
Of these, two were suspended for 

one semester while three were 
placed on disciplinary pronation 
for one full school year. 

Two students were suspended 
for one semester and must pay 
restitution for multiple counts of 
theft and possession of stolen pro- 
perty, belonging to both students 
and the University. 

Finally, two students were 
placed on disciplinary probation 
for one year, and one of them 
must pay restitution for van- 
dalizing a bicycle. 

Already, there have been two 
major cases so far this semester. 
One resulted from a failure to 
comply which led to a fight. This 
student's room and board con- 
tract was terminated without re- 
fund. Also, the student was 
placed on probation for a year 
and a half and mandatory 
counseling. 

The other major case involved 
retail theft from the bookstore. 
The student must pay a restitu 
tion and fine and was placed on 
disciplinary probation until the 
end of the year. 



Overall, there have been four 
suspensions so far. Normally, 
there are two to six per year. 
Also, two students withdrew 
during the second semester rather 
than face a hearing. 



The 1987 Susquehanna 
University Fund Phonathon is 
off to an amazing start thanks to 
the help of 95 callers. Beginning 
Feb. 1, these hard workers were 
able to raise $24,6 1 3 in the first 
week! This is already ahead of the 
$20,000 goal needed for the first 
five days, and a great start to the 
entire goal of $80,000! These 
energetic groups, including Alpha 
Delta Pi, Sigma Kappa, Zeta Tau 
Alpha and the Student Govern- 
ment Association, were also able 
to raise $10,445 in new money, 



encourage 300 new donors, and 
receive 19 leadership level gifts of 
over $125! 

Special thanks must go out to 
weekly captain Dianne Herdling, 
and all daily captains, Amy 
Baran, Barb Harrison, Kay Czap, 
and Jim Faust, who all did a 
wonderful job. 

Congratulations are in order to 
the callers of the day. These in- 
clude Donna Neal, Laura Huber, 
Karen Hagstrom, Paul Brady and 
Eric Kirkland. All of these callers

Harnum Notches 250th Victory 



Susquehanna University men's 
basketball coach Donald J. 
Harnum won the 250th game of 
his career Tuesday (Feb. 10), 
when the Crusaders posted a 
78-67 victory at Messiah College. 

The University will honor 
Harnum for reaching the 
milestone before Saturday's home 
game at 3 p.m. versus Lycoming 
College. 

Harnum, in his 18th season as 
a collegiate head coach, has an 
overall record of 250-198. In his 
13 years at the Susquehanna 
helm, he has 181 wins and 141 
losses. 

The Crusader mentor, also the 
athletic director and assistant 
professor of physical education, 
began his head coaching career at 
Susquehanna in 1969. He guided 
the Crusaders for two seasons 
before moving to the University 



of Delaware, where he had served 
previously as an assistant coach. 
In five seasons with the Blue 
Hens, Harnum compiled a 69-57 
mark. 

A native of Brewer, Maine, 
Harnum returned to Susquehan 
na in 1976 and was named 
athletic director in 1979. His 
teams have a string of six con- 
secutive winning seasons on the 
line and have made six ap- 
pearances in the Middle Atlantic 
Conference (MAC)-Northern 
Division playoffs. 

The 1 985-86 campaign was the 
most successful of his coaching 
career. The Crusaders set a 
school record for most wins in a 
season as they went 22-8 and cap- 
tured the first MAC-Northern 
Division title in Susquehanna's 
history. The Orange and Maroon 
cagers, who were captained by 
Coach Harnum's son. Don P. 



Harnum, advanced to the 
quarterfinals of the National Col- 
legiate Athletic Association 
(NCAA) Division III playoffs 
before losing to eventual 
champion Potsdam State (N.Y.) 
College. 

Harnum, who was 34th in 
total victories among Division III 
coaches entering this season, was 
rewarded for his team's fine 
season by being selected the 
MAC North Coach of the Year 
and the Kodak Middle Atlantic 
District Coach of the Year for 
Division III. 

The Susquehanna coach 
earned a bachelor of science 
degree from the University of 
Maine and a master of education 
degree from Delaware. 

The 1986-87 Crusaders are 
8-13 overall and 7-7 in the MAC 
Northwest League.

"Higher Earning" — A Creative Complaint 



by Mike McCarthy 

When Joel Cunningham strolls 

the campus these days, 

Trying to justify his latest tuition 

raise, 

Does he listen to his students' 

complaints and groans? 

Does he consider their second 

mortgages and student loans? 

I think he'd agree, the school is 

grossly overpaid, 

Unless, of course, they're helping 

out with Contra aid, 



"One thousand dollars more will 
be paid us henceforth." 
Is he sure his name's not Oliver 
North? 

Considering the price tag, there's 
much SU does lack, 
Where's the twenty-four hour 
library? the campus pub? the in- 
door track? 

Will improvements be made to 
the overcrowded dorms? 
Will they replace the football 



Our Corner 



(Host): Hello and welcome to 
"Who am I?" The tremors from 
last week's tuition uproar still 
have things buzzing, but we must 
move on into a new area. And 
now, let's have a warm welcome 
for this week's mystery guest (ap- 
plause). 

As you know, the rules of our 
game are simple— you must 
guess the identity of the guest 
from only a few clues. Are the 
players ready? Let's begin (ap- 
plause). 

(Guest): Clue number 1. 1 have 
no purpose or place at SU. 

(Contestant): Are you a 
redwood-slatted trash container? 

(Guest): No. Clue number 2. 1 
am destructive and irresponsible. 

(Contestant): Are you the 
zuchinni squash they try to serve 
in the cafeteria? 



(Guest): No, but a good guess. 
Final clue. I am an act performed 
by ignorant, bone-headed stu- 
dents. 

(Contestant): Are you "flush- 
ing the toilet when someone is in 
the shower without warning?" 

(Host): Oh, an excellent guess, 
but I'm afraid that's not right and 
the panel is stumped. This week's 
mystery guest is (drumroll) — 
vandalism (applause). (Fade to 
black). 

Vandalism. It's common on 
this campus, but it is not a game. 
The trouble is, too many students 
are treating it like one. It is easy 
to sit around and bitch and moan 
about the tuition going up, but 
are we helping our case any by 
destroying thousands of dollars 
worth of property?

team's ugly uniforms? 
To remain at the school we must 
shell out twelve grand, 
What are we paying for? I don't 
understand, 

A gymnasium tailored to every 
student's likes, 

Fifteen hundred people wait in 
line for two exercise bikes, 
"I have a sprained ankle!" an in- 
jured student cried, 
And limped to Rea and Derrick, 



windows or so were broken, at 
least some on purpose. Other 
small damages such as broken 
lights can be added in. Not a lot 
of damage, but pretty pointless. 

This past weekend, things 
escalated. Estimates ranging from 
IS to 21 windows broken were 
reported (the 2 1 was from a green 
army worker, and he ought to 
know). The greenhouse also suf- 
fered another mindless attack. 

So, how much can a window 
cost? I don't know off hand, but 
it doesn't matter. The costs add 
up. When the damage sheets 
come out at the end of the year, 
everyone gets all fired up. Think 
about it now, and the cost will be 
less later. 

No matter where vandalism 
occurs, we pay for it in the end. 
Eleven windows in Heilman 
bought it last weekend, so no 
dorm will be charged. But where 
do you think the money comes 
from? You think Pres. Cun- 
ningham writes a check? Tuition 
and fees. 

The time to put a stop to it is 
NOW. There is one good way to 
limit the vandalism and that is to 
police ourselves. That's right, I 
said it, rat on them, if that's what 
you want to call it. Report it if 
you see someone. Let the louse 
pay for the stupidity, because I 
don't want to and you don't 
either. 

Last weekend when the 
greenhouse was hit, I saw the 
group who did it. You three guys, 
I saw you. I walked over and I 
looked right in your faces. You 
are damn lucky I don't know who 
you are, or your butts would be 
hanging right now. And after 
Residence Life was done with 
you, I know some people in the 
Biology department who would 
have finished you off. 

That's all I have to say, and I 
hope it is enough. Let's do 
something to straighten things 
out. Reed Hall is a disgrace, and 
at the rate we are going, the rest 
will follow. Have a little pride. 
Have a good weekend and don't 
be stupid.

for tape is not supplied, 

The custodian opens the closet to

Wait, that's no janitor's closet, 

it's the SU weight room. 

Applications are higher than 
ever, the school is well-endowed, 
Wouldn't you think the snow in 
its parking lots would be plowed? 

Susquehanna kids are often 
found "hugging the bowl," 
Too much to drink, or did the 



cafeteria finally take its toll? 

I'm pretty sure hot dogs are not 

supposed to be hairy, 

By the way, why does the library 

have just one dictionary? 

We're not Stanford, Dartmouth

So why is our tuition just about 

the same? 

Instead of sticking the knife 

further into our backs, 

Mr. Cunningham should tell the 

Board of Directors to relax.

SCHOLAR DAY 

The Lindback Student Scholar 
i Day Committee is currently 
organizing the program for Stu- 
dent Scholar Day, in which 
students present scholarly pro- 
jects they have completed during 
the year. 

This year we are thinking of 
running the Student Scholar pro- 
gram in two sessions, with one 
session being for original scholar- 
ship, and the other for original 
work in the arts and humanities. 
This is an attempt to give 
students in the humanities a 
forum for recognition of their 
work. 

If you are interested in par- 
ticipating in the Lindback Stu- 
dent Scholar Day, please contact 
Bill Valbere by March 15, and in- 
dicate in a one paragraph, sum- 
mary what our project is. Send 
your work to Bill Valliere, Box 



706. 
We hope to hear from you.

Ferenc Molnar's play 
*** L I L I O M *** 

Thursday, Friday, Saturday 

February 19, 20, 21 at 8:00 P.M. 

Benjamin Apple Theatre (Bogar Hall) 

"Liliom" is "Carousel" without the music, but the play 

was doing business a long, long time before Rogers and 

Hammerstein added melodies and lyrics in 1945. 

"Liliom" (the nicKname "Lily" means Toughy), a swag- 
gering barker in a cheap amusement park who falls in love 
with the little factory waif, Julie, leads her a dog's life, then 
commits suicide when caught red-handed in a robbery and 
is shunted off to the after-world to lick his wounds and con- 
template his sins. After all that, he's allowed to return to 
earth for one act of atonement, which he takes care of in 
typical Liliom fashion by stealing a star from heaven to 
give to his and Julie's daughter, Louise.

It's Greek to Us 



ALPHA DELTA PI 

Good afternoon every- 
one. ..and Happy Valentine's 
Day! (a little bit early)... 

All the sisters who ventured to 
the pinning ceremony at Albright 
had a great time on Monday, 
once they got there! 

Everybody had best be 
psyched for our formal tomorrow 
night— it is sure to be an affair 
never to forget (aren't they all!?). 
We're all gonna be "on cloud 
nine," right Sarah? I hope to see 
everyone at Pam, Colleen and 
Sarah's at five o'clock for their 
cocktail party... Thanks in ad- 
vance, girls! 

One word of warning for all 
sisters... Sally N. will be on the 
lookout throughout the evening! 

The pledge retreat is tomorrow 
morning, 22 of our newest are 
now in the hands of Gretchmo 
Dirty (a family name) Dell. Have 
fun girls! 

Were we seeing things, or was 
Tracy Kilbride out both Friday 
and Saturday nights? She must be 
preparing herself for Jimmy! 

We all hope the pledges en- 
joyed their breakfast in bed on 
Monday. We're so thoughtful, 
aren't we? 

Pam, we were awfully glad you 
could identify those sneakers; 
we're sure that Tom was very im- 
pressed! 

Happy Birthdays go out to 
Kim Gorman, who was apparent- 
ly in rare form on the 5th, and to 
Lauren W., who plans to be in 
rare form on the 18th. 

One last note of the classified 
nature: Sally B. and Donna N., 
having heard rumors of 



perspective buyers for the front 
room of 301 University Avenue, 
will be giving tours on Tuesdays 
and Thursdays for all those 
interested. By appointment only, 
please. 

Well, brush up on your rowde- 
do-da skills, girls— 

ALMO 
*Thought for the week: Only 3 
weeks (that's 21 days!) till Spring 
break! 

LAMBDA CHI ALPHA 

Hi fans, although everyone 
went home this weekend, the 
weekend turned out fine anyway. 
As usual, we weren't welcome at 
any of our fellow Greek 
establishments, although we gave 
it the old college try. First off we 
would like to welcome our new 
associates. They are as follows: 
Bryan Brust, Bill Fox, Tim 
Smith, Rob Shaw, Drew 
Paradine, Matt Skarbek, Graham 
D'alvia, Colin Howlett, Jay 
Thatcher, Steve McNulty, 
Konstantin (Bob) Danias, 
William Starace, Dennis 
McManus, Steve Bridgeman, and 
Chris Schoellkopf. I'd like to wish 
them good luck. They definitely 
need it. There is a vicious rumor 
circulating that the new quarters 
rules are out; the associates will 
be sorry. See you in Dickie's 
room. The alumni returned this 
weekend and the illustrious Mark 
Fuller proved that he can sleep in 
any environment. On to a new 
topic. We'd like to congratulate 
Tom (The Human Hoop) Alberse 
on a new job. The Congrats are 
well deserved. Also, Kojac broke 
his slump by sitting on a leaking

PHI MU DELTA 

Ah Heck! It's Phi Mu Delta 
"It's Greek To Us" and we're 
opening up with Curtis Barrick's 
Senior Profile. Curt's a senior (?) 
majoring in something new every 
week who hails from Lewisburg, 
PA ("but I'm not a hoopie!"). 
Curt, who last saw the inside of a 
classroom Sept. 15, spends most 
of his free time doing his hair, 
especially now that the search for 
a nickname has ended, isn't that 
right, George Michael? (Choose 
life!) Curt, or G.M. as he's 
affectionately known, has been 
living his second childhood since 
the day his first one ended. Big 
game hunting has recently taken 
top priority, if you don't count 
his drinking habits, so watch it 
Charlie, Dirty Curty is on your 
tail. 

Pledge of the week goes to 
Jerry "My hair is funny but so is 
yours" Pryer for performing 
above and beyond the call of du- 
ty. Congratulations, Son. Sincere 
apologies to Mark MaGlock for 
forgetting his birthday last Fri- 
day. I hope the barroom singing 
more than made up for it. 

Thanks go out to the Sisters 
and pledges of Sigma Kappa for 
an incredibly ballsy time at the 
Mudhouse last Friday. I still say 
team 2 cheated — you had 
Lumpy. Mike McNelly. Saturday 
afternoon brought more winter 
Olympic events to the 
Mudhouse. Jay George set a 
landspeed record in the snowball 
avoidance event while Bob "I 
can't believe I'm getting fined" 
Lussier received a gold medal in 
the glass-smash. A sad note, the 
SU Hockey team is no more. 
Steve Schmalz has since been 
signed by the Boston Bruins — as 
a hot dog vendor. Mike McNelly. 



After much delay, here it is 
Higgs, the Phi Mu Delta Top Ten

Best wishes for a great 
weekend to all, I'm sure all the 
Brothers at the ADPi formal will 
have a blast. So, until next week, 
Mike McNelly. 

THETA CHI 

Hello Susquehanna. If a 
weekend in Jamaica with Bon 
Jovi sounds exciting to you then 
listen to this. Last weekend, me 
and my roommate were whisked 
away with the rock band Anthem 
to the sun drenched Isle of "Q." 
Once there we were treated to a 
Selinsgrove version of Hedonism. 
The natives were restless when 
the band's lead singer exposed his 
bare chest during "Don't give me 
no lines and keep your hands to 
yourself." 

When we were forced to return 
Sunday evening the house was 
buzzing with news. Brother 
Turner was caught twice this past 
weekend for his A.J. Foyt imita- 
tion by State Trooper Gene 
"Throw the book at 'em" 
Krumenacker, Jim, nice Escort. 

Ralph, if we told you once, we 
told you a million times, 
chocolate icing goes on cakes, not 
doorhandles, walls, Humphrey, 
etc. But Ralph, you redeemed 
yourself by saving the brother- 
hood from a schizophrenic Shep. 
Fenstermachermakermiller- 
rninormajormangermizeretc..., 
your party tape rivals Moraski's, 
well almost. Clay, when you 
bought your humidifier, did you 
realize all of its uses? 

The Pro Bowlers Association 
would have been proud last 
Saturday afternoon when five in- 
spired Sophomores thrashed a 
contingent of upperclassmen at 
the Superbowl for a reward of 48 
cold trophies. Thanks fellas, we 
needed that.

KAPPA DELTA 

Hello everybody! The KD's 
have had a special visitor this 
week— our NCA, Wendy! She's a 
super-spirited KD from VA. Did 
you hear the one about the tank 
Xing? How many hours can one 
drive while lost eternally in the 
back woods of PA? We hope 
Wendy enjoyed our SU 
hospitality— Chinese food, Sister 
Sue Rattay's aerobics, Ruby 
Tuesday... 

Oh! I must apologize to pledges 
Melissa Challice and Julie 
Winebarger— I failed to mention 
them as pledges last week. Sorry 
girls, my error. Please, please 
don't be mad. I'll make it up to 
you. Congrats to new pledges 
Melissa Challice and Julie 
Winebarger as they venture on 
their way to KD sisterhood! 

Sister Patti Corwell traveled to 
Maryland to visit Sister Libby 
Doherty. She says that the frat 
brothers down there serve the 
KDs their meals— Ah! Luxury! 
Can you deal?! 

Sisters Gail Friars and Sue 
Cannone would like to thank T2 
for the exciting splunking ad- 
venture on Sat. Thank goodness 
those bats didn't wake up! Did 
everyone catch Sister Anne 
Molloy's basketball talents Mon 
day night? Maybe shell make the 
backward shot next week! 

The pledges had a heck of a 
time Thurs. at Name Game- 
how many names was that, girls? 
Don't worry if you didn't 
remember them all— you have 
plenty of time! A Valentine's 
Party is in store with the brothers 
and pledges of Theta Chi. Whose 
tie is it, anyway? 

That's about it for KD this 
week! Take care! 

Love in AOT, 
P. La Belle

SIGMA KAPPA 

Hey dudes! Happy Friday! 
Life's great, isn't it? As you walk 
around campus, it is just so uplift- 
ing to see so many smiling faces 
this week ... cheer up Susquehan- 
na! Summer fun is just around 
the comer!! 

Now let us get into the good 
stuff. Sigma Kappa is proud to 
announce the Sigma situation of 
the week ... 

HE: "I tried calling you all last 
night" 

SHE: "I don't have a phone" 
...hmmm, you figure it out! Oh 
my. Anyway...ABOUT LAST 
WEEK ... Phi Mu Delta, what 
can we say? Our First annual 
"oneon-one keg race" with the 
brothers of the mudhouse was 
declared a huge success. The beer 
was flowing and the teams were 
psyched ... But Who Won? 
Things just got OUT OF CON- 
TROL. Dooey, ya did a great job 
calling off those names. Sister 
Lewis had a ball doing tap while 
bar dancing was witnessed once 
again starring Dana and her 
followers ... ladies, we must learn 
to behave ourselves! Dana really, 
must you teach our beloved 
pledges such things!? Speaking of 
pledges, Carrie "Flip" Cambell 
made her fashion statement Fri- 

| day night while pledge DeMott 
came out of the bathroom with a 
very red face. And about 
bathrooms, Barb, who was it? 

| ...Hmmm. I best go into hiding 
now. But seriously, we thank the 
boys of Phi Mu Delta for a great, 
needless to say memorable, time. 
You guys sure know how to have 
a good time. 
Our dynamite pledges are do 

| ing great. You girls are gold! But 

I always remember and never 
forget ... sisters get the last laugh! 
And about laughs, sisters 
Kinghead and Frankface had a 
race on Sunday morning; King 
I won by an hour! Eeep-e-Doops, 
did you have a good shower? (but 
it was only water!!) Pledge Leslie 
Rippard has been awarded "Boob 
of The Week." For more info on 
that, contact sister Fuller.

the way, in case anyone is 
interested, sister Bishop does not 
like hoagies. 

Well, as the Deej-face once 
told me ... life is like an onion, ya 
peel off many layers and 
sometimes you weep. Deep, 
huh?! But seriously, deadline calls 
and the homework awaits, so it's 
time to sign off. I'm gone, I'm 
history, I'm out of here ... I'm 
also in big trouble for writing all 
this. Happy Valentine's Day to 
all and to all a good night.

SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

Hellooo out there in "It's 
Greek to Us" land. I hope you 
didn't miss us too much last 
week. Consequently, we have to 
catch up on some old business. 
We'd like to thank the sisters and 
pledges of Kappa Delta sorority 
for one heck of a party last 
weekend. You girls were great — 
hope we can do it again soon. 

Now on to some more recent 
events. This weekend, some of 
the brothers and a couple of 
pledges went to our annual 
Regional Leadership Academy in 
Baltimore, Md. The trip down 
was rather uneventful, but as 
soon as we got there the fun 
began. After being called fools for 
trying to park in our hotel park- 
ing lot, we had some business 
with the bathtub. We then de- 
cided to go to the "Harborplace" 
which I'm sure no one will ever 
forget, especially that bum being 
carted off. After our pledges got 
tired and fell asleep, the rest of us 
decided to go out on the town. I 
guess Lee hadn't "experienced" . 
the Block as much as he would 
have liked, so he went out to ex-

perience it all by himself. Being 
concerned, Duke the bum tried to 
go find him, only to find that the 
town of Baltimore at three 
o'clock a.m. was actually one big 
family reunion. 

The next day was spent at- 
tending meetings. I think 
everyone there can attest to the 
fact that Penn Phi really is one of 
the best around! The rest of that 
afternoon was spent waiting for a 
stupid pizza bagel. Well, we also 
watched our friend the juggler. 

That night, as we did the night 
before, we showed the folks of 
the Hyatt and of Baltimore how 
we party at old SU and those 
guys from Old Dominion showed 
us their way. Silly us thought that 
drinks were supposed to be 
drunk. Now for just a few more 
notes. Did we ever find out what 
that green stuff was? Thanks for 
the bruise, Steve. And we can't 
forget Chris from Philly Textile, 
he is one well-liked guy. By the 
way, Chris is a tile major with an 
emphasis in tapestry. 

Now back to the old 
homestead. Nothing much hap- 
pened except for the Eric Tucker 
twins making a not so rare ap- 
pearance. Apparently one fell 
asleep early while the other went 
roaming campus. 



Coming in the future we will 
be doing our philanthropy, so be 
prepared to dish out the bucks. 
Remember, if your mom doesn't 
give you a dollar, she doesn't love 
you. Also coming soon will be 



Senior Profiles, so you better be 
nice to me guys. 

Until next week...

P.S. Happy birthday, Jeff.

Greetings from the Ave. Here's 
a good one- who realizes that 
they have a major exam (GRE's, 
mind you) at 8 in the morning at 
Bucknell Univ. the next day, but 
can hit the happy hour at the Inn, 
and make festivities until God 
knows what hour in the morning, 
and wake up at 7:59 Saturday 
morning, screaming, and racing 
to Bucknell, arrives at 8:35, to be 
told by the proctor to take the 
GRE's in April... and feels like 
they have majorly messed up 
their life.. .the answer- ME! 
How's about that.. .(Gee.. .no, 
GRE!) Yup, so I was the brunt of 



a lot of poop. (Oh wow, there's 
geometry on this test.) But, Tom 
"Darthead" Harrison was so 
amused, he didn't believe that at 
least I still had my health- so the 
race of all races ensued. Result- 1 
won, and Tom didn't get off his 
couch for the rest of the day.

H.I.H. This week's profile is 
about brother Doug Schnell. 
Doug is a economics major from 
New Paltz, New York. Doug is 
not real sure yet where he will be 
working next year. Right now he 
is trying to decide between work- 
ing as an usher at a major New 
York City motel or joining the 
Army Reserves where they will 
pay him for doing what he does 
best— being abrasive. We are also 
happy to hear that there is a good 
chance that he will be graduating 
in May and won't be in a body- 
bag. There are a lot of things I 
wish I could write about Dougie 
but if I do write about it, the 
Editor would delete all of it. We 
all wish Dougie the best of luck 
and hopefully things will change 
and he will be able to have kids. 

Thanks, Buddha. Hey Bozo, 
let's play SPUD!

to thank everyone who bought 
Candy-grams this weekend to 
help us support our philanthropy, 
ARC, the Association of Retard-

victory! 

The sisters and pledges all had 
a blast downtown last weekend. 
Thanks go out to sisters Jen B., 
Kathy K., and pledge Pat! The

Michele and Jen W. will be giving 
dance lessons to all sisters with

Sisters Bonnie, Deb and 
Melanie kept the party going 
once they found Sunbury... Bon- 
nie, we all hope your hand feels 
better soon! Pledge Nancy is run 
ning against sister Barb W. for 
song chairman. She thinks she 
can win too with her Hey Lotti's! 

Sister Karen set the SU world 
record for hiccuping and washing 
kitchen floors at the same time. 
Karen, are you sure you felt o.k. 
in the morning? And Pledge of 
the Week goes to the one who 
spilled the salad bar cheese all 
over the floor of the caf ! I think 
you know who you are! 

If you haven't seen Sarah W. 
around this week, she's been busy 
planning for her big w-end! More 
on that next week... 

Pres. Anita has switched her 
major to Band Management and 
she plans to drop out of school 
14th week to fulfill her dream! 

Special thanks also go out to 
my neighbors for decorating the 
doorknob! Who filled it up, 
Linda? Now the ball is in your 
court. A belated Happy Birthday 
goes out to Sister Meg who 
celebrated her 20th with a "room- 
mate" this past weekend! And 
don't forget to wish Val Happy 
Birthday on V Day (the big 21) 
and Phyllis on the 18th (we won't 
tell her age). Til the retreat, and 
in Zeta love, K.

Grapplers Wrestle On 



Applying FORCE 



On Feb. 3, 1987, the Sus- 
quehanna University Crusaders 
hosted Ursinus College and 
Elizabethtown College in a 
triangular meet at O.W. Houts 
Gymnasium. 

Against Ursinus, the Crusaders 
fell behind early but came back in 
a hurry, only to come up short in 
the end. 

Following a Crusader forfeit at 
118 lbs., Ursinus' Steve Lauder- 
milch pinned Bob Gude in 46 
seconds to give the Collegeville- 
based grapplers a 12-0 lead. 

It was time for Susquehanna to 
make their move. At 134 lbs., 
Eric Letts got a forfeit and Gary 
Allmers wrapped up a victory, 
12-3, to cut the gap to 12-10. 

Joe Lawrence gave Susquehan- 
na the lead with an impressive 
14-4 victory at 150 lbs. Chris 
Labrecque broke out early 
against Ursinus' Dave Durst but 
couldn't hold on and drew 6-6. 
With the score 16-14, Ursinus got 
it together. 

At 167 lbs., George Sax 
dropped a 4-0 decision that was 
scoreless until the third period, to 



Pine Street Typing 

Word Processing Service 

500 West Pine Street 
Selinsgrove, Pa. 17870 

3747550 



give Ursinus the lead 17-16. After 
a scoreless first period, Ursinus' 
Chuck Odgers went up 7-1 on 
Paul Lesica and then pinned him 
at 5:36. At 190 lbs., John Love 
put the match out of reach by 
pinning Crusader Dave Jimison 
at 3:01 of the second period. 

Greg Carl registered a regular 
decision at heavyweight, 7-2, to 
close the scoring at 29-19 in favor 
of Ursinus. 

In the second match, Sus- 
quehanna went head-to-head 
with well-balanced Eliza- 
bethtown College. At 118 lbs., 
Blue Jay Jeff Forrer received a 
forfeit and, when teammate Tim 
Gerber followed with a 15-0 
technical fall in 1:54 of the first 
period, Elizabethtown found 
themselves with a 1 2-0 lead. 

At 134 lbs., Benn Druck 
outlasted Eric Letts 13-2 to in- 
crease the Blue Jay lead to 16-0. 
Following a default win by 
Elizabethtown at 142 lbs., Dave 
McHoul pinned Joe Lawrence in 
1:19 and Elizabethtown was com- 
fortably ahead 28-0. 

Susquehanna got on the board 
when Chris Labrecque registered 
a 1 2-5 decision at 1 58 lbs., but the 
Blue Jays' Steve Capoferri 
countered with a fall over George 
Sax in 28 seconds. 

The rest was Susquehanna. 
Two of the three, compliments of 



Elizabethtown. At 177 lbs., Paul 
Lesica won a tight match by a 
score of 8-7. This was followed by 
forfeits at 190 lbs. and heavy- 
weights by the Blue Jays, to make 
the final score 34-18 in favor of 
Elizabethtown. 

With the two losses, Sus- 
quehanna dropped to 2-9. The 
Crusaders are back in action on 
Feb. 27 and 28 in the MAC 
championships held at Western 
Maryland College. Good luck, 
guys!

THE F.O.R.GE. WANTS YOU! 
What is h? The F.O.R.CE. 

stands for Freshman Orientation 
Residential Community 
Educators. It is a group of stu- 
dent volunteers— maybe in- 
cluding you— which concerns 
itself with making new freshmen 
feel more at home and 
knowledgeable here at Sus- 
quehanna. 

What do members do? Each 
F.O.R.C.E. member is assigned a 
group of new freshmen in the 
beginnig of Fall Semester. The 
F.O.R.CE. member meets with 
this group regularly, having been 
trained in group facilitation and 
leadership skills. Programs are 
presented, some of which deal 
with topics from the Convoca- 
tions of the Orientation-to- 



SPORTS CORNER 



Welcome back for another edi- 
tion of SPORTS CORNER, and 
with no real topic to write about 
this week, 111 go to the old stand 
by and just discuss some 
interesting things that have taken 
place in the sports world. 

Ill start with basketball and 
the NBA All-Star game. 
Hometown hero Tom Chambers 
walked away with the Most 
Valuable Player Award, after 
scoring a game-high 34 points. 
Considering that the Seattle for- 
ward was not even on the All- 
Star team when it was first an- 
nounced, his performance was 
superb. Chambers was added to 
the Western Conference squad in 



place of the injured Ralph Samp- 
son and was put into the starting 
lineup by Laker coach Pat Riley. 
This All-Star game was also the 
highest scoring game in All-Star 
history with the two teams com- 
bining for 303 points, 154-149. It 
also marked the final All-Star ap- 
pearance for the Doctor, Julius 
Erving, who ended the contest 
with 22 points. 

In the college ranks, the Big 
Ten Conference continues to be 
the best conference this season 
with Indiana, Iowa and Purdue 
all ranked in the Top Ten. 
Illinois, Michigan and Ohio State 
all have excellent shots at getting 
tournament bids.

cedures like "How to preregister. ,, 
F.O.R.CE. members also are

How do I apply? Applications

Deadline for applying is Feb. 23, 
so pick up your application now! 
If you want additional informa- 
tion, call Ms. Sears or Dr. 
Kreisler at x4133. 



Our sympathy goes out to all 
the Notre Dame fans on campus, 
who saw the Irish probably go 
from a NCAA tournament bid to 
a bid in the NIT (National Invita- 
tional Tournament) by dropping 
games to Vanderbilt and Kansas, 
one week after upsetting top 
ranked North Carolina. 

On -to the National Hockey 
League, and tonight is game two 
of Rendez-Vous '87 between the 
NHL All-Stars and the Soviet 
National Team. Can you believe 
that Wayne Gretzky was not 
voted into the game as a starter? 
Sure, Mario Lemieux is an 
outstanding hockey talent, but 

this is no excuse for not selecting 
the greatest player in the game to- 
day as a starter. 

Congratulations go out to SU 
men's basketball coach and 
athletic director, Donald J. 
Harnum, for registering his 250th 
career victory earlier this week at 
Messiah. 

Stop the presses, I've just 
found out that Wrestlemania HI 
is going to take place sometime in 
March. Rumor has it that WWF 
champion Hulk Hogan will de- 
fend his title against the 
undefeated Andre the Giant. 

Answer to last week's Trivia 
Question: Jim "Catfish" Hunter 
was the first modern-day player 
to be signed by another team as a 
free-agent. 

This week's Trivia Question: 
Who was the last NBA All-Star 
game Most Valuable Player to 
win the award in front of his 
home crowd? 

Well that's about all for this 

week' perhaps next week 111 have 

a real topic to discuss.

[Alcohol, Drugs Concern Campus 

Committee Probes Problem 



Because the Federal govern- 
ment has recently been focusing 
more attention on a "war against 
drugs," universities are being 
asked to take a more active role 
in regards to drug and alcohol 
use. Here at SU there are hopes 
of becoming more aware of drug 
use and what can be done to help 
limit or decrease the use on 
campus. 

A committee has been formed 
to look into new possibilities for 
next year. It consists of Fritz 
Kreisler, Carol Courtney (student 
life), Karen Thompson (health 
center), and Rich Woods (securi- 
ty). 

A few students have also 
shown interest in becoming a part 
of this committee. However, 
Kreisler says he would welcome 
more. He and the other members 
really want students to help out 
and get involved in this project. 

There are several aspects of the 
drug and alcohol issue which are 
being considered. 

Kreisler stated that one big 
question is whether our drug and 
alcohol policy itself should be 
changed. At the moment he feels 
there is no need for any changes 
in the actual policy. 

The procedures of discipline, 
however, are being considered for 
changes. Kreisler does not feel 
present procedures are effective 
enough, and he wants to devise 
more effective consequences 
when rules are broken on ac- 
count of alcohol or drugs. Con- 
structive punishment, such as 
cleaning or doing something for 
the campus, will be more of an 
education process. This, says 
Kreisler, should hopefully prove 
to serve a better purpose than 
simply paying a fine, which to 
some students, he finds, is not 
that big of a deal. 

If a student is repeatedly 
Setting into trouble related to 
d [ugs or alcohol, the new 
discipline procedures being 
•ooked into would get him/her in- 
volved in a special program. This 
Program would be there to help 
lnsu re a good self-evaluation by 



discussing what constitutes an ad- 
diction problem, and by obtain- 
ing a positive outlook on what 
can be done to solve it. 

A final point the committee is 
looking into is to just simply 
educate people on campus about 
drugs and alcohol. They would 
like to project more information 
to students. Examples of this 
might be information on legal 
aspects given out by Rich Woods, 
and health aspects discussed by 
the health center. 

The commitee is now in the 
process of obtaining better up-to- 
date information on all aspects of 
drug and alcohol abuse. They 
would like to see better programs 
on the subject be held in 
residence buildings, including the 



Greek houses. These would be 
held at least once a year or once a 
semester. Kreisler feels a special 
emphasis should be placed on the 
greek system since this seems to 
be where most drinking occurs. 
He feels there is a greater need 
for greek involvement in pro- 
grams and enforcement of 
policies. 

Right now the committee is 
working with people from the 
drug and alcohol county commis- 
sioner and with people who work 
with underage alcohol problems 
and drunk driving. They would 
like to see more students involved 
in the committee. If you are 
interested, contact Fritz Kreisler 
in the Student Life Office.

IFC Plan Required 



Recently, Dean Dorothy 
Anderson appeared before the 
SU Interfraternity Council (IFC) 
with an ultimatum. The frater- 
nities and sororities of the SU 
community must come up with a 
plan to curb and eventually end 
the serving of alcoholic beverages 
to minors at fraternity parties. 
IFC has approximately one 
month in which to accomplish 
this. 

One reason for this radical 
action lies in the stipulations of 
the host liquor liabilty insurance 
held by each fraternity. These 
policies insure the frat against 
any personal or property damage 
occurring during a party at which 
alcohol is served. The policies, 
however, contain a disclaimer 
clause stating that if the fraterni- 
ty is found "in violation of the 
law," the insurance claim 

becomes null and void. And 
under Pennsylvania state law, 
any frat found serving alcohol to 
anyone under 2 1 is in violation of 
the law. Without an effective 
policy the fraternity cannot 
operate. 

A recent bust at Penn State has 
also been cause for alarm among 
the SU administration. Fourteen 



PSU fraternity brothers are being 
held in violation of state law for 
opening their frat party to 
minors. They are awaiting an 
April trial. 

Dean Anderson suggested the 
formation of a sub-committee of 
IFC, consisting of one repre- 
sentative from each fraternity. 
The committee itself will do the 
planning; according to Dean 
Anderson, it will be "more ef- 
fective than if we impose our own 
plan on them." Each repre- 
sentative will then help his own 
respective frat to police its parties 
and screen the guests using a 
method of their choice (not 
necessarily carding). 

This new development can be 
considered part of the "alcohol 
awareness" movement that seems 
to be gaining momentum this 
year. Last term, Sigma Phi Ep- 
silon fraternity sponsored an 
Alochol Awareness Week. This 
term, a newly-formed committee 
on drug and alcohol awareness 
chaired by Dr. Fritz Kreisler is in 
the process of reviewing our 
policies on the use of intoxicating 
substances. Now, IFC has the 
task of making this "movement" 
a reality.

Editorials 

Here On Campus 



About three years ago, the 
education department began a 
project called Volunteers. This is 
a project I hadn't heard about un 
til last week, but the coordinator, 
Janet Brandel, has helped Dr. 
Igoe and Emily Kerstetter 
generate numerous ideas. The 
purpose of this project is to help 
the members of the community 
while giving Susquehanna 
University a good reputation. 

Our Corner 



by Juliet Gibson 

Within the Volunteers project, 
there are a number of individual 
projects, many that have been 
added in their proposal for next 
year. 

The Alternative Education 
program is divided into two. In 
both the project members act as 
tutors to students. The first Alter- 
native Education program is at a 
specialized school in Selinsgrove, 
while the other program is held in 



Wanted: Energetic, literate 
people who enjoy working long 
hours for little reward other than 
personal satisfaction. No ex- 
perience required. Inquire within. 

Doesn't look too tempting, 
does it? What is it about? It is 
about us, or the newspaper to be 
more specific. To be even more 
specific, what I am talking about 
is people who may be interested 
in running next year's newspaper. 

You see, many of us have been 
in our positions for two years 
now, some more and some less. It 
may be time to start looking for 
new blood to replace the old 
guard. There comes a time when 
one just begins to lose en- 
thusiasm. 

We are now currently looking 
for someone to take over the 
advertising department of The 



Crusader. This involves con- 
tacting the surrounding busi- 
nesses and soliciting ads to be run 
in the paper and helping to design 
such ads. This is excellent ex- 
perience for someone in the 
advertising or marketing fields, 
but the position is not restricted 
to those areas. 

For next year, the positions of 
Editor and Campus Editor will be 
held by new people for sure. All 
other positions are opened as well 
to anyone who wishes to apply. 

Hence, we return to the open- 
ing classified ad. We, the current 
editorial board, have built a con- 
sistent newspaper and we would 
like for that tradition to continue. 
The only reason we started with 
it two years ago is because no one 
else wanted to. The paper would 
have simply ceased to be. We do 
not wish to have that situation

various towns in the area. One 
program that promises success is 
the Adopt-A-Grandparent pro 
ject, which involves single senior 
citizens in Selinsgrove. A student 
will be assigned a senior citizen 
who the student will call on a 
regular basis and take out occa- 
sionally. 

Another program involving 
the senior citizens is called the 
Aging program. The student will 



arise again. 

If you feel that you have the 
ability to write, photograph, 
and/or lead people, apply for one 
of the positions. All you need is a 
little ambition and a nose for 
news. We have established a core 
for the paper to build on and the 
possibilities for expansion are 
limitless. 

Those of us among The 
Crusader editorial board who 
wind up being replaced will re- 
main available next year to assist 
in the early weeks of the 
semester. We are not planning to 
abandon the paper, just see it 
through a smooth transition of 
leadership. Eventually, however, 
many of us will be looking to 
phase out our involvement. 

The paper is in the process of 
undergoing a major change. The 

possibility of going to a com- 
puterized layout system is being 
investigated. The software for 
this process is just coming out 
and we are currently looking into 
all the possibilities. The editing 
and layout skills will change 
slightly to accomodate such new 
technology, but the jobs will re- 
main about the same.

tunities sound interesting to you, 
fill out the application form 
found elsewhere in this issue. If 
you have any questions, stop by 
The Crusader office and we will 
be glad to answer them for you. 

Note|on last week's column: I 
have been informed that the 
window estimate I quoted was a 
little off. The actual tally was 30, 
instead of 15 to 21. Also, a few 
gentlemen in Reed were dis- 
turbed by my calling their dorm a 
"disgrace." I'm not sure what of- 
fended them, since they haven't 
spoken to me directly, but let me 
say that I meant the condition of 
the building (i.e. the ripped out 
bathroom stalls, busted signs, and 
the like). The comment was not 
directed at anyone who lives 
there, and it may not be the 
residents who caused the damage. 
I don't know and I did not 
address the question. I hope this 
clarifies the problem.

visit senior citizens and give them 
a helping hand. The Latchkey 
Kids program, which is run by 
Mrs. Thomforde, only requires 
an hour per month and a training 
session. This program is geared 
towards children whose parents 
are at work when they get home 
from school. The children can 
call a hotline either with a 
problem or just to talk to a stu- 
dent. 

Finally, the Selinsgrove Center 
project takes only the time that is 
needed to write and send a note 
to an assigned patient. The 
students never meet these re- 



tarded patients, but they will 
receive notes in return. 

This project is an individual 
project which never has 
meetings. However, this project 
will leave students with the 
knowledge that they have not on- 
ly helped a member of the com 
munity but also helped to add to 
Susquehanna's good name. 
Volunteers are really needed. 
Students don't need to be a

you interested in making the 
Volunteer project a success? Call

Keeping it Alive 



Good day! And welcome to 
our article! The word for the 
week is "Liliom." What is a 
Liliom, you may ask. Can I wear 
one? Is it cool? Can I drink it? 
Well, friends, "Liliom" is a 
nickname for the main character 
of the SU Winter production of 
the same name. 

The widely diversified cast in- 
cludes "Julie" (Claudia Kuhn), 
who falls in love with "Liliom" 
(Craig Smith), a rough guy who is 
afraid to express his true feelings. 
He meets her at the carousel 
where she is accompanied by her 
best friend "Marie" (Melissa Him- 
melreich) where they are thrown 
out of the carousel by "Mrs. 
Muskat" (Roberta Rice). Julie 
and Liliom are taken care of by 
the good "Mother Hollunder" 
(Megan Moyer) and her daughter 
(Laurie Wilkinson). Unable to 
find a job, Liliom is convinced by 
ne're-do-well "Fiscur" (David 



Lisner) to turn to crime for an 
answer. The consequences are 
costly. 

Other members of the cast in 
elude: "Wolf (Wayne Pyle), 
"Linzman" (Chuck Smith), 
"Magistrate" (Todd Murray), and 
"Louise" (Christie Winters). Mike 
Gaynord, Kelly Dencker, Tom 
Nolan, Darren Pellegrino, Adam 
Bates, Eric Diesel, Sue Bailey, 
and Kris Davis round out the 
supporting cast. The show also 
includes a troupe of clowns 
headed by Clown Master Jen- 
nifer L. Miller. Clowns include 
Bridget McKinley, Leslie Rip 
pard, Jill Uhler, Cyndi Logan, 
Carol Glenn, and Donalyn 
Mason. "Liliom" is the play that 
the musical "Carousel" is based 
on and is set in Budapest, 
Hungary.

Center, Dr. Robert Drugan from 
the Clinical Neuroscience Branch 
of the National Institute of 
Mental Health will give a lecture 



Bradley to Read Works 



Novelist David Bradley, a 
native of Bedford, Pa., will pre- 
sent a reading of his works Feb. 
25 at 7:30 p.m., in Susquehanna 
University's Greta Ray Lounge 
as part of Susquehanna's Visiting 
Writing Series. 

Bradley's visit is sponsored by 
the University President's Fund 
for Excellence and the Penn- 
sylvania Arts Council. There is 
no admission charge to the 
reading. 

His second novel, "The 
Chaneysville Incident," has 



established Bradley's reputation 
among major contemporary 
authors. The book, winner of the 
1 982 Faulkner Prize, is a story of 
a young man's search for the 
meaning of his father's life and 
death. In his first novel, "South 
Street," Bradley explores the in- 
ner life of the Philadelphia ghet- 
to, with particular emphasis on 
three of its social and cultural 
centers. 

Bradley is an assistant pro- 
fessor of English at Temple 
University. He holds a bachelor's 



entitled Anxiety: A Critical 
Factor In Learned Helplessness. 
Dr. Drugan is a 1979 graduate of 
Susquehanna University. His re- 
search has focused on the rela- 
tionship between anxiety and 
depression, specific brain nuclei 
modulating anxiety- and de- 
pression-related behaviors, and 
the efficacy of certain drugs to 
block stress-induced behavioral 
depression. 

CRUSADER CASTLE 

Susquehanna's own snack bar, 
the Crusader Castle is probably 
the most well known spot on 
campus to meet friends, have a 
meal or a snack, take a study 
break, or just relax. 

The fine service that the 
students and faculty have been 
used to, can only get better with 
the installment of the Castle's 
new managers last week. They in- 



degree in creative writing from 
the University of Pennsylvania 

and a master's degree in Area 
Studies, United States, from 
Kings College in London. 

A frequent reviewer for The 
Philadelphia Inquirer, The New 
York Times Book Review, and 
The Washington Post Book 

world, Bradley is a member of the 
Author's Guild, Book Critics 
Circle, and the Philadelphia 
Writers Association. 



Deibler, Kehler Give Recital

the New England Conservatory, 
Bruce Simonds at Yale, and Leon 
Fleisher. 



Susquehanna University music 
professor Galen Deibler and Sus- 
quehanna alumnus Kurt Kehler 
will perform a piano recital 8 p.m. 
Friday, Feb. 20 in Weber Chapel 
Auditorium. 



Deibler received a bachelor of 
music degree from the New 
England Conservatory of Music 
and his master's from the Yale 
University School of Music. He

Bringing Things to Light 



Candy corn: the kernels are a 
special treat, in memory or fact, 
to many of us. We may associate 
them uniquely with the Fall 
season, with harvest, or with 
Halloween (when some bizarre 
variants in the wrong colors — 
like orange and brown pump- 
kins—appear). We might recall 
how festive an entire bag or 
double handful of the kernels 
looks. The most interesting thing 
about this food, however, is the 
fact that the substance of each 
kernel is uniform while there are 

three very distinctly colored sec- 
tions. The colors, in other words, 
don't have anything to do with 
the kernel's taste or composition; 
they are a purely visual, aesthetic 
feature... and somehow this im- 
pels us to eat them in a ritualized 
way. Each of us, thousands of 
times, has surely attempted to eat 
a kernel "perfectly," in three sec- 
tions, via two exactly placed 
bites. The goal of this ritual is to 
eat one pure color at a time, each 
bite uncontaminated by even a 
speck of another color. 

We choose a kernel and hold it 
between our thumb and fore- 
finger by the tiny white 
triangular tip, and examine it 
carefully. We note the angle of 

the lines, particularly that line 
dividing the main, orange section 
from the blunt yellow end. Is this 
line horizontal or does it vary 
from this? Do the colors "bleed" 



into one another at any edge? 
(This feature would abort the 
ritual, causing the entire kernel to 
be tossed carelessly into the 
mouth, to be crushed by the low- 
ly molars and not saved for the 
exquisite chiseling of the 
incisors.) We make our 
decision.. .Yes, well try it on this 
one. 

Now we slowly move the 
kernel to our slightly opened 
mouth. We insert the yellow end 
carefully, not to scrape it, and 
close the incisor-vice above and 
below the kernel. Visual memory 
is called to the test, as a 
remarkable comparison is need- 
ed: we must match where we feel 

the kernel to be in relation to the 
edge of our teeth, we must match 
this to our recollection of where 
the orange-yellow division was 
from our prior examination. This, 
in a sense, is the art of the 
maneuver. We hold the piece just 
tightly enough with our teeth to 

hold it still without biting into it, 
marring the surface. Our fingers, 
with support from the tongue, jig- 
gle it a bit, trying to get the spot 
just right. It feels correct. ..we 
bite! 

Now we pull out the distal sec- 
tion, and again hold it by the tip 
for examination, while we suck, 
chew, swallow what we hope is 
pure, pure, the purest yellow. We 
turn the orange and white 



triangle about its axis and search 
the edge for the smallest speck of 
yellow, then turn its blunted end 
towards us and do the same 
(checking, secondarily, for the 
cleaness of the cut as well, hope 
ing to admire a particularly 
striking one). Often, our examina- 
tions yield disappointing results, 
and we toss the remainder 
mouthward, to be disposed of as 
quickly as possible. If we were 

good, though, and the triangle is 
yellowless, we repeat the pro- 
cedure with the orange-white 
border, this one seeming to be 
easier because it is smaller or 
because of the swelled confident* 

over our recent success. If we 
should succeed a second time we 
take our prize, that minute white 
enameline dot, secretly glorying 
in our skill, savoring the sugary 
taste of unsullied color, the flavor 
of our own perfection! 

Question: When we seem to 
have bitten off just the yellow 
end, how do we know that there 
isn't any orange (maybe LOTS of 
orange) on the yellow part we so 
hastily destroy? See? There is a 
hole in the procedure, isn't there? 
We cannot know unless we spit 
out the bitten-off part, and we do 
not do so. 

Come on, we all know this is 
true. We are perfectly aware of 
the ruse we play on ourselves, of 
our suspension of conscience for 
the sake of the opportunity to 
have an artistic experience. We 
are moral creatures, however, 



and our knowledge detracts from 
the perfection of that experience. 
We may not spell it out to 
ourselves upon completion of the 
perfect pair of bites, we may 
allow ourselves a few 
milliseconds of unbridled glory, 
but them, there it comes, the little 
bitterness. The artistic act was 
not a perfect crime after all. 

There is, however, an alter- 
native. Call it a compromise with 
reality, perhaps. Get some Candy 
Corn, set about eating the kernels 
in the usual manner, one at a 
time, with the same aesthetic goal 
as before. ALMOST. Modify it a 
wee bit, to: "I will try to bite into 
the kernel at the color line so that 
there IS yellow left on the orange- 
white triangle in my hand, but 
the very TINIEST yellow 
amount possible." 

Dwell upon this for a 
moment.. .You are probably feel- 
ing unsettled, and are scratching 
your head. This new goal seems 
wrong in some basic way, at its 
core. It is so imprecise, so im- 
perfect. It is, therefore, so in- 
appropriate as a goal. This 
change has made it so unlike art 
that it is very difficult to imagine 
it taken up as a practice. 

Try it anyhow. Yes, that's it, 
pick up the kernel, study it just as 
before, ignoring that nagging feel- 
ing that it's all different. Now 
bring it in, trying to keep in mind 
the location and tilt of the color 
line. Adjust it between the in- 
cisors, fight the nagging confu- 
sion. The habit to hope for 



perfection is strong and battling 
that habit is disturbing. How, 
exactly, to proceed? What to aim 
for? Return to your visual image. 
Now... bite. 

Typically, examing the orange 
white triangle, there is disap 
pointment. If you see yellow, 
failure is indicated, or at least 
your experience with that old 
method tells you so. No yellow? 

You must check your elation, for, 
by the new rule, this, most of all, 
proves failure. What should you 
make of this piece that's left be- 
tween your fingers? 

Try again. Again. Again. 
Gradually, you learn to use your 

visual imagery in the service of 
the new rule, as more or less 
reliably, you can produce traces 
of the bitten color. Conquering 
this, you can begin to set your 
sights on the objective of shrink- 
ing that remnant. At times, the 
speck of yellow is truly minute, at 
other times it's unsatisfyingly 
large as you were way off. 

Overall, you may be catching on, 
as the process becomes more fun, 
and you generally improve. Keep 
practicing. 

You cannot succeed perfectly, 
using this new method, but you 
can watch yourself steadily, 
gradually improve. And you 
needn't lie to succeed, nor pre 
tend to not see what could be 
there. 



Education Opportunities in Great Britain 



The Susquehanna University 
Office of International Education 
is offering a course entitled "The 
British Theatre," June 8 through 
July 5 in London, England. 

Robert Bradford, director of in- 
ternational education at Sus-

Theatre of Great Britain in 
cooperation with the Royal 
Shakespeare Company and the 
Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. 

Students will attend 18 plays 
including productions at the Na- 
tional Theatre, the commercial

evening's performance. 

In addition, there will be 
backstage tours of current pro- 
ductions and lectures on the 



history and current issues in 
British theatre. A pair of related 
theatre excursions will take 
students to Bath and to Bristol to

hear several lectures on 
Shakespeare and attend two 
plays. 

Other trips are also planned, in- 
cluding visits to Canterbury 
Cathedral, Windsor Castle, 
Hampton Court Palace, and a 
private tour of the Houses of 
Parliament. There also will be 
free time for individual sightsee- 
ing at famous landmarks such as 
Westminster Abbey, the Tower 
of London, and the London 
Bridge. 

The course is open without 
academic prerequisites to 
undergraduate college students 



who have completed at least one 
year of coursework and have a 
minimum grade point averge of 
2.5 on a 4.0 scale. Students suc- 
cessfully fulfilling all course re- 
quirements with a passing grade 
will receive six semester hours of 
credit. 

The course fee of $1,100 in- 
cludes tuition, overnight accom- 



modations during the course 
period, all theatre tickets, a coach 
tour of London, a daily breakfast 
and lunch allowance, a monthly 
pass for unlimited travel on 
central London subways and red 
buses, and all planned excursions. 
Not included in the fee is the cost 
of airfare, evening meals, and in- 



dividually undertaken sightsee- 
ing.

SU Volunteers Honored Lit. ClaSS Evaluated 



Last year at the 10th anniver- 
sary of the SU project system, 
President Cunningham declared 
that February 20 would be set 
aside as Student Volunteer Day. 
On Friday, a special program will 
be given in honor of all the 
volunteer groups: the Susquehan 
na University Neighborhood 
(SUN) project system, the 
volunteer services, and the ACTS 
29 teams. 



The program will consist of an 
invocation by Chaplain Thom- 
forde, Dean Anderson and Presi- 
dent Cunningham will speak 
about volunteerism, entertain- 
ment will be provided by an 
ACTS 29 singing team, and then 



the awards will be presented. The 
members of the various organiza- 
tions have been asked to submit 
names for certificates of apprecia- 
tion to be given to certain group 
members in honor of their efforts. 
Other awards will be given to the 
three most outstanding projects. 



The project system will be 
receiving a special honor from 
President Reagan. The Presi- 
dential C-Flag will be presented 
to the SUN project system 



because of their exceptional 
volunteer/community outreach 
efforts. The system has been in 
operation since fall of 1975 and 
the projects help with both 
campus and community needs. 



Among the groups served are the 
area's mentally handicapped, 
scouts, church youth groups, and 
elderly; and the campus' com- 
puter and arts needs. During the 
10th anniversary, President Cun- 
ningham wrote President 

Reagan's Citation Program for 
the Private Sector and explained 
the project system. The Presi- 
dential program annually 
recognizes and encourages 
organizations making contribu- 
tions to their communities. 

Information is also available 
on the Student Achievement 
Award Competition. The award 
of $1500 will be given to four 
students, nationwide, to 
recognize their contributions to a 

community. The deadline for ap- 
plications is March 13 and the 
recipients will be announced one 
month later. More information 
can be obtained from Deb Woods 
in the Residence Life office.

Foundations of Western 
Literature, the only core 
literature course being taught this 
year and a requirement for all 
sophomores, was a moderate suc- 
cess the first semester, if 
"success" can be determined by 
responses from students and 
faculty to a course evaluation 
form. Of the 169 students en- 
rolled in the course, 1 38 returned 
a course evaluation form at the 
end of the term. 

These responses will be helpful 
to the course instructors as they 
seek to refine the course for next 
year. Clearly there are still some 
flaws that need to be worked out. 
The major one, it seems, is the 
reading load: 1 29 students felt it 
was much too heavy. The course 
is a difficult course, the in- 
structors agree, but assert that 
those students who commented 
that it was "only a core course" 
and should not require so much 
work misunderstand the meaning 
and purpose of the core program 
at Susquehanna. 

The word "core" means the 
"innermost" or "central part" of a 
thing. In this case it means the 
essence, the very heart, of the 
education Susquehanna professes 
to offer its students. 

One can learn to become a suc- 
cessful business person, it is true, 
without having Julian or Nor- 
wich (80), or Cicero (38), or "The 
Aeneid" (35), or "The Song of 
Roland" (26), or Greek tragedy 
(21) [the most unpopular texts 
with the students, as the numbers 
in parentheses indicate; "The 
Odyssey" (4), Dante's "Inferno" 
(5), and the biblical literature (6) 
were the most popular]. But the 
person who has read those texts 
sympathetically and intelligently 
will surely lead different and 
fuller private and professional 
lives than the one who hasn't. He 
will be different at his core; she 
will be different at her core. 

The instructors believe that the 
course should remain a demand- 
ing one, but that the experience 
of taking the course should be a 
positive one. They do not want 
the work load to be unreasonable, 
therefore, and their first priority 
in refining the course will be to 
reconsider the reading list. 

The Tuesday lectures were also 
very unpopular. Only 44 students

felt that they were helpful. Some 
of the concerns should be cor- 
rectable without much dif- 
ficulty—a different hour, a better 
sound system. But some of the 
concerns will require more work 
to ameliorate. 

Large lectures are not common 
at Susquehanna and they are 
almost unknown in the 
humanities classroom. Yet they 
have traditionally been, and still 
are, an effective teaching device 
at the world's finest universities. 

The instructors must learn 
how to organize their lectures 
more effectively and present 
them more dramatically; the 
students must learn how to listen 
more attentively and apply what 
they've learned to the literature 
that they've read. The lectures in 
the first semester were uneven, it 
is true, but one could have 
learned something from every 
one of them. 

A few other interesting, and 
sometimes amusing, points 
emerged from the evaluations. 
Interesting, for example, is that 
1 1 1 students felt they deserved 
either an "A" or a "B" for the 
course (22 A, 89 B), but only 81 
expected to receive an "A" or a 
"B." And probably the actually 
number of "A's" and "B's" award- 
ed was not that high. 

What is amusing here is that of 
the 111 students who felt they 
deserved an above average grade, 
only 95 said they read all (6) or 
most (89) of the assigned 
readings. Sixteen students, then, 
who admitted reading only some 
of what was assigned actually felt 
that they deserved an above 
average grade. 



Furthermore, only 7 students 
said that they never missed a 
class and 64 said that they missed 
only I - 3 classes. Forty of the 
1 1 1 students, then, thought that 
missing class more than 3 times 
was deserving of an above 
average grade. 

Granted, mere attendance and 
merely moving one's eyes across 
the words on a page do not 
guarantee that one learns the 
material. But not reading the 
words on the page and not 
responding, at least silently in 
thought, to the ideas of others 
with a certain amount of regulari- 
ty are not the marks of an above 
average education either. 

Some of the figures were quite 
positive: 65 students were 
definitely glad they had taken the 
course, 25 thought the course ob- 
jectives were definitely met, and 
58 thought they had learned 
more (49) or much more (9) than 
in most of their other courses. 

These are encouraging figures 
indeed, but for the course in- 
structors they are not yet high 
enough, and they will work hard 
to improve those figures next 
year.

NOTES FROM 



SU Offers Tour of English Gardens 



Men and Women of Sus- 
quehanna: 

I have a concern about our life 
together and perhaps you can 
help me with it. 

The concern is this: we seem to 
have more than our share of 
violence and vandalism and 
"trashing" of our residence halls. 
From what I hear and from what 
I saw from time to time when 1 
lived in West Hall last Spring, 
Sunday morning in the hallways 
and bathrooms can look more 
like a battlefield after the battle 
than a place where people who 
care about each other as human 
beings live. Broken glass, pieces 
of furniture, cans, and human 
waste too often litter the dorms. 

What are we to do? 

Some have suggested to me 
that the RA's and the Student 
Life staff "crack down" on the of- 
fenders. Other have suggested 
that the fault lies with the 
freshmen who do not know how 
to behave, yet, in their new-found 
freedom. Still others have told 
that "they" are the problem. Who 
are "they'? A small group who 
do not know how to behave 
socially and who make life 
miserable for "us." Still others 
think alumni are to blame when 
they return to relive their bright 
college days with more abandon- 
ment than wisdom. 



I suggest to you that the 
problem is not so simple as 
anyone of the above-mentioned 
explanations suppose. I exhort 
you, whoever you might be, to 
take the problem seriously and do 
what you can to develop a more 
humane atmosphere in our 
residence halls. Life does not 
have to be as violent and de- 
structive as it is from time to 
time. We, each of us, and all of us 
together form the community 
called Susquehanna and it will be 
very helpful to point the finger at 
this group as the cause of our 
problems. Can we each live, and 
work, and play in such a way that 
our activities do not make life 
unpleasant, miserable, or even 
dangerous for the people around 
us? Let's keep pressing to find 
ways to study, x to play our 
stereos, to have parties, to vent 
our frustrations, to express our 
joys which will build up the en- 
vironment rather than be so self- 
centered that one person's 
pleasure becomes some other per- 
son's pain. 

Let me conclude with a rather 
crude expression of community 
development from former Presi- 
dent Lyndon B. Johnson; "Don't 
spit in the soup, we've all gotta 
drink it." 
For the greater glory of God, 
Christopher M. Thomforde 



The Susquehanna University 
Office of International Education 
will offer its fifth annual Learn- 
ing Traveler Program for Adults, 
"English Gardens and Stately 
Homes," May 18 through June 
10, 1987. 

According to Robert Bradford, 
director of international educa- 
tion at Susquehanna, the tour 
will include Rothchild's Gardens, 
the Royal Horticultural Society 
Gardens, and the Oxford Univer- 
sity Botanical Gardens. Famous 
homes to be viewed include 
Hampton Court Palace, Windsor 
Castle, and Blenheim Palace, the 
birthplace of Sir Winston 



Churchill. 

A skilled British guide will ac- 
company the group throughout 
the 24-day period and there will 
be private, guided tours of every 
garden visited. Participants will 
travel by minibuses. 

"There is a minimum of three 
nights' stay in each overnight ac- 
commodation, giving the tour a 
leisurely and relaxed pace," Brad- 
ford said. 

Participants must be between 
the ages of 1 8 and 88 and in good 
health. 

The cost of the tour is $2,025, 
based on double occupancy. 



Single rooms are available for an 
extra $150. The program fee in 
eludes airfare on regularly 
scheduled British Airways flights, 
transportation within England, 

hotel accommodations with full 
English breakfast, entrance fees, 
membership in the National 
Trust, and an average of two 
meals per day. 

For more information and 
registration forms, please contact 
Dr. Robert Bradford, Office of 
International Education, Sus- 
quehanna University, Selins- 
grove, PA, 17870. Registration 
deadline is March 31. 



Volunteers Needed for WIT 



Susquehanna Valley Women 
in Transition will conduct train- 
ing for new volunteers each Tues- 
day and Thursday evening at the 

Susquehanna University Student 
Center beginning April 7 and 
ending May 19. Snyder County 

volunteers are particularly need- 
ed to support new and expanded 
services in Snyder County. 

As a result of the work of 
trained volunteers, Women in 
Transition serves the victims of 
sexual assault and physical and 



mental abuse in the home. 
Assistance and support is also 
provided to sexually abused 
children and their families. 

Women in Transition operates 
a 24-hour Hotline which serves 
the residents of Upper 
Northumberland, Snyder and 
Union counties. A shelter pro- 
vides housing for women and 

children who are unable to re- 
main at home. In support of these 
programs, volunteers provide 
Emergency Hotline coverage, 
peer and options counseling, ac- 



company and support victims 
receiving medical care or who are 
involved in legal proceedings. 

Volunteers work with communi- 
ty groups interested in education 
programs and assist with fund 
raising projects. 

The 40 hour training program 
meets Pennsylvania certification 
requirements for rape and sexual 
assault counselors. Persons who 

are interested in volunteer work 
with Women in Transition may 
call the Hotline anytime at 
523-6482 or 374-7773.

Friday, February 20, 1987-THE CRUSADER-Page 7 



—Eric Diesel 



If asked one year ago what 
Hollywood's worst disease was, 
I'd have quickly answered 
"rampant sequelitis," and been 
proved right with the rapid-fire 
appearances of POLTERGEIST 

II, KARATE KID II, PSYCHO 

III, and the umpteenth install- 
ment of FRIDAY THE 13TH. 
This year my prediction, and it is 
a dire one, is that Hollywood's 
upcoming new disorder is: 
FABULOUSNESS! FABU 
LOUSNESS is an affliction 
within which the perfunctory is 
hallowed as ingenious and 
phoniness replaces sincerity. 
1987 is Hollywood's 100th an- 
niversary, and it may be the year 
movies finally become so dry- 
cleaned, blow-dried, veneered, 
and dustproof that intelligence 
and emotion die. 

Much as it pains me to admit 
it, such a movie is OUT- 
RAGEOUS FORTUNE. This 
film is absolutely airproof; secure 
in the sure-fire success of its 
director, its formula, and its stars. 
It has been put together with as 
much lacquer and precision as a 
Chinese box puzzle. It is so busy 
being FABULOUS that it forgets 
to try to connect with its 
audience. It is delicious and emp- 
ty- 
Lauren (Shelley Long) and 
Sandy (Bette Midler) are arch op- 
posites who trek across the con- 
tinent together to confront their 
snake of a boyfriend. Naturally, 
such comedy cliches as CIA, 
KGB, and Top Secret Formulas 
make their appearances; and just 
as naturally the boyfriend (Peter 
Coyote) drops them both. Which 
is okay, because in the end, they 
get a better gift than any he could 
ever give them: each other. 

Yet director Arthur Hiller 
never celebrates comedy, he just 
arranges it. His is a lazy, almost 
pedestrian way of directing, and 
this kills any chance for hilarity. 



Most of the gags are pretty funny 
— the audience splits into guf- 
faws at Long and Midler mas- 
querading as teenage boys in a 
brothel — but half an hour after 
the show is over, the laughter has 
evaporated. This is the wink- 
wink/nudge-nudge sort of movie 
that I'm forever telling Judd 
Nelson is all his fault. (Need 
proof? Check out FROM THE 
HIP.) 

I could make a case against 
FABULOUSNESS by pointing 
out a similar movie, last year's 
SOMETHING WILD. Here was 
a film so frenetic, so hip that it 
nearly blasted the viewer out of 
his seat. It was the first film in 
which I've actually seen a BABY 
ON BOARD sign. Yet for all its 
potentially great goofiness, 
SOMETHING WILD held the 
viewer in reckless disregard. It 
kept pushing the viewer away. It 
was so FABULOUS that it near- 
ly destroyed itself. What's the 
point of FABULOUSNESS if we 
can't share any? 

There must be room in films 
for viewers to place themselves 
onscreen — to gallop across the 
scenery and spout funny lines 
with the stars — or to at least 
want to. OUTRAGEOUS FOR 
TUNE denies the viewer any 
such pleasure. You get the feeling 
that if Arthur Hiller hadn't made 
this movie, it would have made 
itself. This isn't a movie, it's a 
mechanism. This is slipcovered, 
seamless, and soul-less. This is a 
great tragedy. For if the movie 
had slowed down and given us 
room to get on board, it would 
have had something to say. If this 
had been a movie where, for 
once, women are the good guys, 
where women are allowed to be 
strong without being castrating, 
that would have been fabulous 
indeed.

Crusaders Win Three Straight 



The Susquehanna University 
men's basketball squad remained 
in contention for a playoff spot in 
the topsy-turvy Middle Atlantic 
Conference (MAC)-Northwest 
division, by winning two of three 
league contests over the past 
week. 

Thursday, Feb. 5, the host 
Colonels of Wilkes handed the 
Crusaders a 77-68 loss. SU led 
30-28 at the half, but Wilkes 
point guard Marc Graves scored 
19 of his game-high 30 points in 
the second half to hand the 
Orange and Maroon their 
seventh conference loss against 
six victories. 

Freshman guard Jim Burke 
pumped in a career-high 22 
points to lead the Crusaders. Jay 
Thatcher, who was 4-4 from 
three-point range, scored 18 
points and captain Bruce Merk- 
linger added 16 points to his 
team-high 16 rebounds. 

Last Tuesday, Feb. 10, Sus- 
quehanna head coach Donald J. 
Harnum reached the 250-win 
plateau as the Crusaders defeated 
the home standing Falcons of 
Messiah College. After taking a 
13 point, 37-24, halftime lead, 
Harnum's squad held off a 
Falcon rally to preserve the vic- 
tory. 

Messiah pulled to within three 
points of the lead shortly before 
the halfway point of the second 
half, but got no closer as the 
Orange and Maroon scored the 
next eight points, five of them 
from Burke, to pull away for the 
milestone victory, 78-67. 

Merklinger led Susquehanna 
with 21 points and 13 rebounds, 
while Jim Dimond scored a 
season-high 18 points and 
grabbed a career-high 16 re- 
bounds. The backcourt combo of 
Burke and Thatcher scored 17 
and 15 points respectively, with 
Thatcher dishing out eight assists 
to improve their league record to 
7-7. 

On Saturday, Feb. 14, the 
Lycoming Warriors traveled to 
O.W. Houts Gymnasium with a 
one-half game lead over the 
Crusaders in the MAC-NW. 

At the start it looked as if Sus- 
quehanna would be blown out of 
the game early, as they made on 
ly seven of thirty-one first half 
shots, and trailed 27-16 at 
halftime. 



However, the Orange and 
Maroon scored the first seven 
points of the second half to pull 
within four points at 27-23. 
Burke then tied the game at 
33-33, when he sank a three-point 
goal with 12:58 left in the con- 
test. 

Coach Harnum's squad held a 
four point lead through the mid- 
dle of the second half, but when 
Lycoming forward Jay Cleveland 
scored on a lay-up with 4:23 re- 
maining in the game, the War- 
riors were back on top 42-41. 

The game went back and forth, 
until Merklinger gave SU the lead 
for good at 47-45, when he hit a 
jumper from the right baseline at 
the 2:10 mark of the second half 
and the Crusaders held on for the 
50-46 victory. 

Merklinger scored a game-high 
17 points to lead Susquehanna, 
while Burke added 10 markers. 
Lycoming, who fell to 9-1 1 , 7-7 in 
the MAC-NW, was paced by 
Cleveland and Jeff Jones, who 
each scored 16 points apiece. 

Two days later at Lebanon 
Valley, the Crusaders once again 
got off to a cold shooting start as 
they hit only 37.8% from the 
floor, and trailed the Flying 
Dutchmen 41-33 at halftime. 

Lebanon Valley held a ten 
point lead at 58-48 with 13:49 re- 
maining to play, before the 
Orange and Maroon ran off four- 
teen straight points over the next 
four minutes to take a 62-58 ad- 
vantage. Thatcher, who scored 
all of his game-high 19 points in 
the second half, led the outburst 
scoring 12 of the 14 points. He 
also scored the final seven points 
as the Crusaders went on to post 
the 81-78 win. 

Along with Thatcher, Don 
McLoughlin, Dimond and Merk- 
linger all scored in double figures, 
hitting for 18, 17 and 15 re- 
spectively. The non-conference 
win upped Susquehanna's record 
to 10-13 overall. 

As of Tuesday night, Albright 
led the MAC-NW with a 9-6 
record and had a game remaining 
at home with Drew University on 
Wednesday. Elizabethtown who 
is 9-6, plays Lycoming at home 
tomorrow. SU is 8-7 in the league 
with tomorrow's game at Scran- 
ton yet to be played, while Ly-

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••a**** 



coming, 7-7 in the league, had a 
game to play at Delaware Valley 
on Wednesday along with tomor- 
row's outing at Elizabethtown. 

The first and second place 
teams from the league make the 
MAC-Northern division playoffs 
which will be held Feb. 27 and 28 
at a site not yet determined. 

The Crusaders are back in 
action tomorrow at 3 p.m., when 
the Royals of the University of 
Scranton come to town trying to 
avenge last year's loss in the 
MAC-Northern division final.

SPORTS CORNER 



Here we are back again for 
another addition of SPORTS 
CORNER, and I hope every 
hockey fan got to see at least 
some of Rendez Vous 87 that 
was put on by the NHL last week 
in Quebec. 

This was the All-Star game for 
the NHL, but instead of making 
fans suffer through another dull 
game between the Wales Con- 
ference and the Campbell Con- 
ference, the league put on an 
outstanding spectacle of the 
NHL All-Stars battling the Soviet 
Union's national team in a two- 
game series. 

In the first game, Edmonton 
Oiler goalie Grant Fuhr was spec- 
tacular, stopping the precision 
shooting of the Soviets. Mean- 
while, teammates Jari Kurri and 
Glenn Anderson scored to give 
the NHL a 2-0 lead. 

After the Soviets had tied the 
score at 2-2, Hartford's Kevin 
Dineen put the NHL ahead once 
again with a goal off a pretty pass 
from the Flyers Dave Poulin. 
Anatoly Semenov tied the con- 
test at 3-3 with a great individual 
effort, just over a minute after 
Dineen's goal. 

Then, with 1:15 left in regula- 
tion, Poulin gave the NHL team 
the victory when he neatly 
deflected Mario Lemieux's shot 
past Soviet goalie Evgeny 
Belosheikin. 

This game showed that players 
such as Poulin, Dineen, and 
defenseman Ulf Samuelsson 
deserved to be on the team, 
despite the fact many people 
disagreed with their selection. 
These are the hard-nosed gritty 
players the NHL needed to defeat 
the Soviet team. 

Game two saw the Soviets use 
their precision passing game and 
great speed to record at 5-3 win. 
Fuhr was once again stellar in 
goal, making some unbelievable 
stops. Mark Messier, Doug 
Wilson and Ray Bourque all 
scored power play goal for the 
NHL in the loss. 



This series proved that Wayne 
Gretzky is undoubtedly the 
greatest player in the NHL today. 
Although he did not score a goal, 
Gretzky assisted on four of the 
seven NHL scores, while having 

some fine passes not put into the 
opposing net by teammates. He 
also showed he could play 
defense, as he part of the penalty 
killing unit that shut down the 
dreaded Soviet power play. 

Another thing to point out is 
that the NHL was playing 
without superstars such as Mark 
Howe, Paul Coffey, Mike Bossy 
and Tim Kerr, who were all hurt. 
With these players on the ice, the 
NHL may have swept the two 
game series. 

The television coverage by 
ESPN was great, with an- 
nouncers Ken Wilson and Bill 
Clement doing a fine job, 
especially with those tough Rus- 
sian names. The slow motion, 
reverse angle replays were an ex- 
cellent feature and the entire pro- 
duction made the games all the 
more enjoyable to watch. 

The only thing that 1 did not 
understand about the Rendez- 
vous 87 series was why the NHL 
All-Star had three goalies on the 
team. Fuhr, Clint Malarchuk and 

Ron Hextall all were named to 
the team, but only Fuhr played 
and Hextall did not even suit up 
for either game. Sure it is an 
honor to be named to play in 

something like this, but I'm sure 
Hextall is going to sit down and 
tell his grandchildren how he sat 
in the stands to watch Rendez- 
vous 87, despite being on the 
team. 

In college basketball last Sun- 
day, Syracuse center Rony Seika- 
ly showed just how much of a 
team player he was in a 99-72 win 
over Louisville. 



The Orangeman center saw 
that five new players were ready 
to check into the game with 
under a minute remaining in the 
game. Seikaly, being the team 
player he is, ran to the referee at 
half court to call timeout. 
However, Rony must have 
forgotten that you can't call 
timeout when the other team has 
the ball and Louisville got an easy 
basket inside because Seikaly was 
at half court calling the timeout. 
I'll end on a note about 
baseball and Ray Knight. You 
remember me telling you two 
weeks ago how Ray turned down 
$800,000 from the Mets for one 
year? Well, Ray signed with the 
Baltimore Orioles last Wednes 
day for $500,000. However, 
Knight has an opportunity to 
earn just as much with the 
Orioles as he could have with the 
Mets. 

Knight will earn an extra 
$300,000 if he meets all of his in- 
centives. Hell get $25,000 each 
for 120 games, 140 games, 400 
plate appearances, winning the 
League Championship Series 
MVP, World Series MVP, Gold 
Glove and by being elected by the 
fans to the All-Star game. That's 
not all, if he would win the AL 
MVP award, he would get an ex- 
tra $100,000. 

The chances of meeting all of 
these incentives are slim, so all 1 
can say is 'Ray you should have 
stayed with the Mets'. 

Answer to last week's Trivia 
Question: In 1972, Jerry West of 
the Lakers won the NBA All-Star 
game MVP award in front of his 
home crowd in Los Angeles. 

This week's Trivia Question: 
Name the past four Slam Dunk 
Contest winners. 

Well that's enough for this 
week, I hope to see everyone out 
fc at the basketball game tomorrow 
to show Scranton that winning 
here will not be as easy as taking 
candy from a baby. Also spring 
training starts today so get ready 

for baseball.

Horn's Organ Dedicated 



A special afternoon of music 
and scholarship is planned Sun- 
I day, March 1 at Susquehanna 
I University. 

The University will dedicate a 
new organ for Horn Meditation 
| Chapel, located in Weber Chapel 
Auditorium, at 2 p.m. The 
I dedication precedes the 1987 
I Horn Distinguished Service Lec- 
I ture planned for 4 p.m. in the 
Seibert Hall Auditorium. 

Both events bear the name of 
John C. Horn, chair emeritus of 
the University's Board of Direc- 

Itors, of Huntingdon. The organ is 
a memorial to Horn's wife, 
I Solveig Wald Horn, and son 
I James M. Horn, and has been 
I made possible with the support of 

II the Horn family and the 
Women's Auxiliary of Sus- 
quehanna University. 



The pedal organ, built by Lynn 
Dobson of Lake City, Iowa, has 7 



ranks, 2 manuals, and 8 stops. 
Music department chair Susan 
Hegberg said the organ has well- 
tempered tuning so it can be 
played in all keys. 

A special dedicatory program 
has been planned for the celebra- 
tion. Hegberg will perform selec- 
tions by Handel, Bach and 
Vivaldi on the organ with 
accompaniment by instrumen- 
talists Priscilla Shaffer, Nathan 
Peters, Victor Rislow and Mary 
Hannigan. Vocal soloist will be 
Cyril Stretansky. 

University chaplain Rev. 
Christopher Thomforde will lead 
the dedication service. 

Following the dedication, the 
annual John C. Horn Dis- 
tinguished Lecture will be 
presented in the Seibert Hall 
Auditorium. 

Cyril Stretansky, 1987 Horn 
Lecturer and associate professor 



of music, will present "The 
Essence of Inspiration — A Con- 
ductor Discusses Score Study." 
He was named Horn Lecturer for 
his scholarly contributions to 
campus and community. 

Stretansky, who has served 
Susquehanna University since 
1972, also conducts the Universi- 
ty's Concert Choir, the Sus- 
quehanna Masterworks Chorus, 
and the Susquehanna Valley 
Chorale. A native of Nanticoke, 
he holds degrees from Mansfield 
University and Temple Universi- 
ty. 

Stretansky has served as a 
guest conductor, choral clinician 
and adjucator. For eight years, he 
was artistic director of the Inter- 
national Choral Festival in 
Rome, where he conducted the 
massed festival chorus at St. 
Peter's Basilica for Vatican radio, 
television, and Radio Free 
Europe. 



Varmints on the Loose 



You are walking across an 
open field in an unfamiliar en- 
vironment, no life to be found 
anywhere. It is the middle of an 
incredible snow storm that is 
dropping major amounts of snow 
in the area. The temperature is 
close to zero; you are not sure if 
you can go on. You need food 
because you have not eaten in 
days. Finally, there is a cave with 
alight shining from within. It is a 
sign of life. You enter to find 
food and without another 
thought you dig in. Suddenly you 
here the sound of footsteps— you 
scamper to keep from being 
caught. 

This is the every day life of a 
mouse during the cold winter 
months, except the cave could be 
a house, a bedroom, or even a 
dorm room. 

Here on the campus, there 
™ v c been some major corn- 
Paints about mice living in the 
forms. Many of the students 
complaining feel that the school 
8 to blame, saying that the ad- 
ministration does not take 
^ugh action in correcting the 
Problem. 

The types of mice that affect us 
krc on campus are known as 



deer mice and house mice. They 
are attracted to food and warmth. 
They operate like the human be- 
ing in that they need a daily sup- 
ply of food and water. 

Mice generally like to nest in 
protected, out of the way places. 
Anything they can sink their 
teeth into is adequate for nesting 
purposes. If you have a pile of 
clothes in the middle of the room 
or stuffed into your closet, you 
are susceptable to the infestation 
of mice. 

While it is true that this is one 
of the worst years ever in regards 
to the rodent population, stu- 
dents can take certain steps to 
reduce the chances of getting 
mice. Keep the floor free of 
clumps of clothing, and don't 
keep any open food for long 
periods of time. 



In a poll taken on campus, 
almost one-third of the rooms 
reported the sighting of mice. Of 
that one-third, close to eighty-five 
percent had either clothing on the 
floor or open food wrappers 
within sight. 

Though many fail to see the ef- 
fort of the school, much is done 



in an attempt to rid the dorms of 
these varmints. An exterminator 
is contracted to come to the 
school on a monthly basis. The 
spraying is done in out of the way 
places, such as the basement of a 
dorm, for safety purposes. 

There are certan cases in which 
the exterminator will make a 
special visit, such as a persistent 
problem within a particular 
room. In these cases, the student 
and the exterminator may discuss 
certain alternatives. The alter- 
natives range from using tack 
board, which works like fly 
paper, to placing a small amount 
of poison inside of the room. 
Students, however, generally 
turn down these methods since 
the mice will end up dying within 
the room. 

What the complaining student 
fails to realize is that there a 
problem in getting the exter- 
minator here on short notice. 
After the complaint is submitted, 
it may take a day or two before 
anyone can come on campus. 
Once the infested areas are 
sprayed, it will take an additional 
couple of days for the poison to 
take effect.

Smith Dorm in the Lead 



The Energy Conservation Pro- 
ject has been faithfully monitor- 
ing all of dormitories' energy 
usage over the past few months. 
For some of us, that little extra 
effort and energy consciousness 
are starting to pay off. Two 
dormitories on campus have 
made significant decreases in 
their energy usage. Mini dorm de- 
creased its energy consumption in 
the month of October by 408 
kilowatt hours. Smith dorm, 
however, is the overall leader on 
campus. The students in Smith 
have managed to decrease their 
kilowatt hour usage each month 
this year over last year's figures. 
In October, Smith was down 



2,786 kilowatt hours. In 
November, 110 kilowatt hours 
were saved and usage was down 
by 163 kilowatt hours in 
December. What does all of this 
translate into in dollars and 
cents? By multiplying the dormi 
tories' savings by $.02 per hour, 
you can come up with the totals. 
By turning off that extra light or 
television set when not in use, the 
students in Mini and Smith have 
added $8.16 and $61.18, re 
spectively, to their individual 
dorm council funds. So you see, a 
little bit of thought and effort can 
really pay off. Now how about 
the rest of you — Turn on to 
turning it off!

Barron 's Rating Explained 



SU's rating in Barron's Guide 
has been reduced from "com- 
petitive" to "less competitive," 
and you may be thinking it is due 
to the much larger freshman class 
accepted in 1986. But it actually 
has nothing to do with this. The 
"less competitive" rating was 
based on the fall 1985 freshman 
class, not the large class of 1986. 

Barron's does not contact col- 
leges about their ratings, and SU 
does not know exactly how they 
go about choosing categories for 
every college. 

However, according to Rick 
Ziegler, director of admissions, 
there are qualities which 
distinguish a competitive school. 
Colleges must accept students 
with a mean SAT score for verbal 

and math of between 450 and 
525 respectively, preferably 
students in the top 55-60 percent 
of their high school class, and the 
college must accept no more than 
75-85 percent of their applicants. 



In the fall of 1985, SU ac- 
cepted students with average 
SAT scores of 470 verbal and 520 
math, and of 58 percent of the 

students were in the top 2/5 of 
their high school class. However, 
87 percent of the total number of 

applicants were accepted. This is 
2 percent more than the quota 
stated in the competitive level for 
accepted students. This, accord- 
ing to Ziegler, seems to be the 
reason why our rating became 
lower. It seems they put a heavy 
emphasis on the percentage of ac- 
ceptance. 

Ziegler stated that the Barron's 
Guide does not reflect the 
academic standards of the col- 
leges it lists; it merely attempts to 
describe, by the labels' "com- 
petitive" and "less competitive," 
the situation students will en- 
counter when they enter a par- 
ticular school.

Here On Campus 



With the passing of elections, I 
thought it was a good time to 
discuss the Student Government 
Association. First, a little on the 
executive positions. The presi- 
dent is in charge of overseeing the 



by Juliet Gibson 

senate, acting as a liason between 
the students or administration 
and the senate, and is also the 
Chairman of the Board of Ad- 
visors for the Snack Bar.

Our Corner 



This week, it is time to commit 
occupational and personal 
suicide. But before attempting 
such a feat, let me first present 
the results of the Vandalism 
Survey that we ran two weeks 
ago. We had eleven replies, not 
exactly overwhelming, but thank 
you to those who did respond. 

Ten out of 11 believe van- 
dalism is a problem. Eight people 
said they would report a vandal, 
one said maybe, and of the eight, 
three have reported incidents. 
Three said that they have been 
the victim of vandalism, although 
I had someone point out to me 
that we are all victims, and 
actually, he is right. Most oi 
those responding (7) were 
freshmen, possibly indicating that 
the upper-classes are becoming 
used to the problem. These 
results are interesting, although 
note that this is hardly a big 
enough sample of the campus to 
call it representative. 

One important question that 
received an almost unanimous 
answer (one differed) was the 
question about the connection 
between alcohol and vandalism. 
Here is where I start to get into 
trouble. 

This paper has consistently 
taken the position that alcohol is 



a problem on this campus. This is 
not a popular view. We feel, 
however, that it is accurate. 

Let me state right here, in its 
own paragraph, that I am not 
condemning the use of alcohol, 
nor the person who occasionally 
gets drunk, nor sororities, nor 
fraternities, nor anything else 
other than what the words say. If 
this seems like I'm being defen- 
sive, that is absolutely correct. 
For those of you who are new 
here, I was pretty well fried last 
year when I wrote on the same 
issue, through my own fault and 
some misinterpretation. 

It is obvious that some other 
people believe that alcohol is a 
problem, as last week's front page 
should tell you. We had two 
articles on the committees and 
policies being formed to combat 
the problem. Add to that the con- 
cern that I have heard from 
various faculty and ad- 
ministrators, and you have the 
makings of an important issue. 

The University of Scranton is 
currently in complete turmoil 
over this same issue. The Feb. 18 
issue of their school paper, The 
Aquinas, is filled with articles on 
their current alcohol problems. 
The city police have decided to 
begin busting up off-campus

parties and arresting under age 
drinkers. The Mayor of the city, 
the Chief of Police, and the Presi- 
dent of the University are all in- 
volved in the problem. The local 
press is writing stories about the 
University, and the school paper 
contains stories, letters, and 
editorials counter attacking. One 
cartoon depicts the scene of 
Skranton (as in "Amerika") with 
police brutality and deprivation 
of civil rights. 

What does this have to do with 
SU? Good question. I believe that 
SU could possibly become en- 
tangled in similar difficulties. 
Remember, it is not all that long 
ago that SU had its Spring 
Weekend busted and arrests 
made. 

There is reason for concern, 
but there is also reason for hope. 
The University has already begun 
to take action, before things have 
gotten too far out of hand. We 
hear cries of attempts to "dry the 
campus," but that is absurd. We 
all know that this administration 
doe? not support such drastic 
measures. Certain people are 
quite more interested in just 
having the students stay out of 
trouble, legal trouble. 

Let's face it, the University 
must take action to protect itself 

and its image. The students have 
the power to direct this action. If 
we use common sense and keep 
things under semi-control, the 
school will only do what it has to, 
and not declare a dry campus. 

I know a lot of people think 
I'm a prohibitionist, while others 
say, "listen to him I saw him 
drunk just last weekend." I am 
not the issue here. You can agree 
with me or not, it's your choice. 
If you disagree and want me to 
know it, write a letter or come see 
me. Shouting things across the 
cafeteria or swearing at me over 
the phones does you no good, and 
I sure as hell don't need to hear it. 
Write. That's what the paper is 
here for. Sorry, this has nothing 
to do with the column, just a 
thought that popped up. By the 
way, you could ' fill out the 
alcohol survey found elsewhere 
in this issue. 

No one knows for sure, yet, 
what changes will take place at 
SU. My only purpose in writing 
this is to let people know what is 
going on so that they can help. 
As a community, we are respon- 
sible for ourselves and what oc- 
curs on this campus. Our actions 
now will determine the policies 
for the future. I think that, 
overall, Chaplain Thomforde's 
quote from Lyndon B. Johnson 
last week sums it up best: "Don't 
spit in the soup, we've all gotta 
drink it." 

In closing, find somewhere else 
to spit, we are all getting hungry.

It is the treasurer's job to 
allocate $175,000 (which is 
created from the $125 each stu- 
dent pays for activity fees) to the 
clubs (recognized by SGA) and to 
see that these clubs don't over- 
spend. The treasurer is also the 
chairman of the Budget and 
Finance committee. 

The job of secretary is to take 
the minutes at the senate 
meetings and make certain that 
they are typed. 

The Student Government is 
divided into six committees. The 
Academic Affairs committee is in 
charge of the policies that affect 
our academic education. For ex- 
ample, this committee created the 
student evaluations and helped to 
set the class attendance policy. 

The Public Relations commit- 
tee is in charge of informing the 
campus of the activities of the 
student government. A new com- 
mittee that was created this year 
was the Extracurricular commit- 
tee. This committee monitors the 
clubs to make sure they are still 
active and need money. 

The Governmental Operations 
committee is in charge of all elec- 
tions (executive, senate, and 
class). The Food Service commit- 
tee listens to complaints and sug- 
gestions about the cafeteria. 

Finally, the Social Affairs com- 
mittee is in charge of getting a 
speaker on campus. Last year 
they brought Larry Linville, but 
this year they have no money to 
bring a speaker on campus. 

Senate meetings are held every 
other Monday in the Model 
Classroom and executive 
meetings are held the Sunday 
night prior. Senators are elected 
at the beginning of each school 
year and serve for one school 
year. However, anyone can 
become a senator-at-large, who 
has the same privileges as a 
senator, by attending two con- 
secutive senate meetings. A 
senator can be impeached after 
missing three meetings, unless 
prior to the meeting he submits a 
note. Doug Carlson feels that im- 
peachments are "not often 
enough." 



Last night, the annual Student 
Government Association dinner 
was held and the exchange of of 
ficers were made. Starting last 
year, the executive officers each 
kept a journal, which should be 
helpful to the new officers. The 
new officers are Kim Gorman, Al 
Bucci, Diane Herdling, and Doug 
Carlson. 

SGA receives complaints 
about the food, buildings being 
unlocked and locked, dorms, and 
vandalism. An improvement that 
has taken place is that the budget 
is under better control. In fact, 
bad debts of $30,000 have been 

cleared up. If you have a com- 
plaint, suggestion, or compliment 
stop by the office or give an 
executive a call. The president 
has office hours and during meal 
times you might catch the other 
officers running in and out. 



One of my questions con- 
cerned the non-alcoholic pub, 
and it came to my surprise that 
the pub is not definite. Many 
questions remain. The university 
has agreed to the concept, agreed 
to the location, and has hired an 
architect. The University even 
paid for the plans to be drawn up. 

One of the questions still 
unanswered is how to pay for the 
renovations of the pub. The non- 
alcoholic task force has discussed 
many aspects concerning the 
pub, i.e. who will manage, what 
food will be served, and what will 
be the cover charge, but they still 
must bring these decisions before 
the University. Originally half of 
the cost, an estimated $20,000, 

was to be paid with the student 
activities funds, but now the 
University is expecting the 
students to fund more. Once the 
final decisions, especially 
concerning the financial aspects 
of the pub, are made, it should 
take only eight weeks to build the 
pub.

Barron's... 

Continued from p. 1 

SU does not want to emphasize 
the Barron's review when there 
are positive aspects such as our 
listing as "moderately difficult" in 
Peterson's Guide. This positions 
us with colleges such as Get- 
tysburg, and this is where we 
would like to be. 

The average SAT scores for 
this coming year's early ac- 
ceptance freshmen were higher 
than last year, an average score 
of 1011 as compared to 991. So 
SU is working to increase the 
quality of incoming students. The 
next Barron's rating will be based 
on the class entering in 1987, and 
to improve its quality, SU may 
have to become more selective. 



In the final week of her four 
year basketball career at SU, Beth 
Noble has earned her first Middle 
Atlantic Conference (MAC) 
Northern Division women's

tossed in 1 3 points and grabbed a 
game-high 1 1 rebounds in Sus- 
quehanna's only game during the 
February 16 to February 21 
period, an 83-60 win over York 

College. In addition, the Altoona 
High School graduate made a 
season -high seven steals and 
dished out one assist as the Lady 
Crusaders wound up the regular 
season with a six-game winning 

. streak which pushed their overall 
record to 13-6. 
The Susquehanna center and 



team captain led the Orange and 
Maroon cagers into their Feb. 24 
MAC-North semifinal playoff 
game at the University of Scran 
ton as the top rebounder on the 
squad, averaging 7.5 boards per 
contest. She is third in scoring 
with a 10.6 average and is second 
in steals with 28 and blocked 
shots with 20. 

Susquehanna earned its sixth 
consecutive trip to the MAC 
playoffs by virtue of its second 
place finish in the MAC- 
Northwest League with an 8 2 
record.

—Eric Diesel 



I was reluctant to see 
PLATOON because I don't like 
war movies. But so many people 
raved about it that I screwed my 
courage to the sticking point and 
went. All in all, I'm glad I did, 
because although PLATOON 
isn't pretty, it is honest and in 
war pictures that's a rare achieve- 
ment. It's told through the eyes of 

an anonymous common soldier 
(Charlie Sheen) who witnesses 
what director Oliver Stone asserts 
is "Vietnam, the real Vietnam." 

which is his way ot saying that 
hindsight is 20/20 vision. All the 
familiar cliches come crashing to 

the screen: sensitive soldiers 
who'd sooner sit in the meadow 
than napalm villages, dead-eyes 
soldiers with scarred psyches, 
boozing and whoring. It's all very 
long and tiring, and when the 
film is over you're left wondering 

what Oliver Stone has said. The 
message of this movie seems to be 
that war is hell, which is not new 
news. Yet Stone constantly tries 

to convince the viewer that 
something more is being said. 
What's left is a dichotomy: is this 
film an honest, unsparing portrait 
of war or Oliver Stone's revenge 



fantasy? the answer is this: for 
all its technical prowess and 
realistic wizardry, there is less to 
PLATOON than meets the eye. 
But at least it doesn't prettify, 
and therefore glorify, war; and 
that redeems it. 

On a more mundane note is 
Paul Schrader's LIGHT OF 
DAY, a rock 'n' roll movie which 
captures neither the excitement 
nor the abandonment of rock 'n' 
roll. Michael J. Fox plays Joe 
Rasnick, who plays in a bar band 
and dreams of the Big Time. At 

home, in one corner, he has a 
mean mama (Gena Rowlands) 
and in the other corner, a 
renegade sister (Joan Jett). His 
life is a constant circle of fighting 
at home, working at a factory, 
and playing in the bar. Schrader 

does a poor job of explaining how 
a teenage boy can use music to 
blow off steam, and that it is this 
quality which gives rock its vitali- 
ty. It's obvious that Fox is acting 
his heart out but somehow there's 

a logic problem: can any of us 
really believe that even with an 
earring and cowboy boots 
Michael J. Fox is a musical 
hellion? He's not yet actor 
enough to overcome miscasting 



NOTES FROM 



— he's just too goshdarned 
likeable. His character needs an 
edge, of the sort Joan Jett (a real 
rocker) has. She dominates the 
screen in her every scene. Hers is 
a character who doesn't know 

where the stage ends and real life 
begins. If Fox had picked up on 
this, and infused his character 
with that same desperation, then 

his whole performance would 
have been more credible and 
LIGHT OF DAY would really 
have rocked. 

There have been three James 
Bonds in movie history: Sean 
Connery and Roger Moore, 
whom you knew about, and 
David Niven, whom you 
probably didn't. SAC describes its 
upcoming CASINO ROY ALE as 
a "mad and indescribably funny 

movie," and this time they're cor- 
rect. This movie is enjoyable on 
two levels; as a very skillful spoof 
of the spy-film genre, and as a 
history lesson in what people 

wore, ate, and said in the late 
'60s. the unexpected ap- 
pearances of a young Woody 
Allen and a prime Peter Sellers 
are added bonuses, and you can't 
beat the price.

Men and Women of Sus- 
quehanna: 

This coming Wednesday, 
March 4, 1987, is a special day in 
the life of the Church. The day is 
called Ash Wednesday because of 
the ancient practice of applying 

ashes to the forehead of the wor 
shippers by the priest or minister. 
On the one hand, the ashes re- 
mind us of our mortality because 
the worship leader says, 
"Remember that you are dust 
and to dust you shall return," as 
he or she places the ashes on the 
forehead. On the Other hand, the 
ashes remind us of cleansing and 
renewal because soap was made 
from ashes in earlier times. 

Let me invite you to come and 
join me in the Horn Meditation 
Chapel on Wednesday March 4, 
1987 for worship. I will be in the 
Horn Meditation Chapel every 
hour on the quarter hour from 
8: 1 5 irTthe morning until 1 : 1 5 in 
the afternoon and then again 
from 4:15 in the afternoon until 
8:15 in the evening. Each service 
will be simple and brief: a psalm 
which we will read together, a 
word read from scripture, a 
prayer, and, for those who so 
desire, the imposition of ashes 
and the bread and wine of the 
Holy Communion meal. 

How important it is to have 
times and places set aside for our 




Spring Choir Tour 



During spring break this year, 
as every year, the Susquehanna 
University Concert Choir will be 
on the road. Between March 1 1 
and 15 the U-Choir will take the 
1987 Choir Tour to many 
churches in the Pennsylvania- 
New York area. 



The University Choir is a 
group of 6 1 students whose com- 
mitment includes a concert in 
Sunbury in November, a choir 
tour during spring break, a "mini- 
tour" during Palm Sunday 

weekend in April, and a formal 
campus concert. The choir is con- 
ducted by Cyril Stretansky, pro- 
fessor of music at SU. Assisting 
Mr. Stretansky are Jill Schafer, 
accompanist; Christine Clewell, 
organist; and David Allen, choir 
manager. 

This year's concert program 
will feature the music of Josquin 
des Pres, Lukas Foss, Gustav 
Hoist, and F. Melius Chris- 
tiansen, among others. The choir 



performs music in many different 
styles: Gregorian chant, motet, 
ethnic folk song, Lutheran hymn 
settings, biblical cantatas, and 
spirituals. 

If you live in any of the follow- 
ing areas and will be home over 
break, consider attending one of 
the concerts. It will be a musical 
experience you will always 
remember.

Merklinger, playing his final 
game in a Susquehanna uniform, 
finished with a team-high 19 

points, while pulling down 11 
boards. The senior captain fin 
ished his four-year career with 
1 350 career points and 884 career

the season leading the team in 

scoring (16.96 ppg) and in re

with 10 markers. 

Thatcher finished the year

with 24. 

Susquehanna finished the 
season with a 10-15 record, and

International Study Fair 



Friday, February 27, 1987— THE CRUSADF.R-Pam * 



An "International Studies 
Pair" will be held on Tuesday 
evening, Mar. 3 from 6:30 to 8 
p.m. in 103 Bogar Hall, spon- 
sored by S.U.'s Office of Inter- 
national Education. Students 
interested in learning more about 
study abroad and overseas intern- 
ship possibilities through Sus- 
quehanna are invited to attend. 
The evening program will consist 

of brief talks bv S.U. students 
i 

who've already been abroad; they 
will summarize their experience 
in the particular program in 
which they took part. Dr. 
Reuning and Dr. Kolbert will 
speak briefly on internship oppor- 
tunities in Germany and in 
France and Spain, respectively. 
Mrs. Carolyn Fischer will share 

her enthusiasm for the non-credit 
vacation travel opportunity 
which she has created in Puerto 
Rico during the spring break 
which combines educational 
sightseeing, visits with Puerto 
Rican families, informal contacts 
with a private university, and 
afternoons at the beach. Sus- 
quehanna's new exchange ar- 
rangement with Senshu Universi- 
ty in Japan will also be 
highlighted. 

In addition, Scott Stevenson, a 
student from Juniata College, 
will be present to promote the 
year of study in England that 
Juniata has recently worked out 
with Leeds University in the 
British Midlands. 

Literature will be available for 
students to carry away and, after 
the oral presentations, there will 
be time for small group or one-on- 
one conversations between 
students interested in future 
study abroad participation and 
those who've recently returned. 

Faculty members responsible 
for advising and recruiting for 
specific study abroad programs 
will also be present to answer 
questions. These include:

"As an institution, Susquehan- 
na is committed to promoting in- 
ternships and study abroad op- 
portunities for all academically 
qualified students," says Dr. 
Bradford, who serves as director 
of SU's Office of International 
Education. "To this end, Dr. 
Kolbert journeyed to Europe 
during the recent break between 
semesters to identify new 
possibilities, particularly in the 
realm of internships. And, begin- 
ning last summer, the Weis 
School of Business has taken new 
initiatives to open up student ex- 
changes in Japan. This is a whole 
new dimension in international 
education at Susquehanna." 

Come out and learn more 
about the world at your doorstep 
and, according to Dr. Bradford, 
"the literally hundreds of pro- 
grams all around the world which 
can lift us out of our insularity 
and better prepare us for life in 
the 'international' 21st Century. I 
would encourage all students to 
attend the International Studies 
Fair to learn more about the 
many opportunities for personal 
and intellectual growth through 
international experiences."

It's Greek to Us 



Editor's Note: Sigma Phi 
Epsilon's column has made 
it necessary to state the 
rules of these columns 
once again. All names 
must have first and last 
names included, not simply 
a nickname or last initial. 
Also, the absence of the 
columns last week was due 
to space requirements, not 
violation of the rules. For 
democracy's sake, I left Sig 
Ep's remarks in, although I 
hate to spread ignorance. 



PHI SIGMA KAPPA 

To the Susquehanna University 
Campus: 

I am a senior at SU and been 
an active member of Phi Sigma 
Kappa for four years now. I have 
been debating with myself for 
weeks about writing this* letter. I 
have debated with myself, 
because I don't feel that Phi 
Sigma Kappa has to defend itself 
to this campus. However, we 
have been the victim of a vicious 

rumor on this campus for about 
four months now. A freshman 
said to me yesterday that he 
heard that Phi Sigma Kappa was 
on its way out. He couldn't have 
been more wrong. We have been 
on this campus for twenty years 
and will be here for another 
twenty. We have four great 
associates now who we couldn't 

be more proud of. Phi Sigma 
Kappa had never been known for 
its size. Anybody who knows us, 
and us well, knows that we are a 
strong fraternity. So please in the 
future, if you hear any of these 
rumors, disregard that rumor and 
tell the gossiper that you are hear- 
ing this from that they are only 
expressing their own ignorance. 
Greetings from the Ave. They 
beat me up again this past 
weekend. 1 swear I'm going to 
hide my hockey helmet. Ill be 

graduating from this institution 
with enough scars, I swear... 
Anyway, the pledges did quite a 
scavenger hunt, besides the fact 
that they never got Rob 
"Snoopy" Ancipink's White 
Castle cheeseburgers. Must also 
commend them on their suc- 
cessful work -weekend. The house 
never looked better. Somebody 
mistook this place for a sorority 
house the other day. (No way!?) 



Just messin... How's about that 
PSK double-whammy weekend? 
Lots of new faces down here. The 
around-the-world party was too 
much with the Sigma Kappa 
mob. Quite the good time... 
passports and all. Bentley the 
Bunny has been partying hard 
with Gumby in Dennis "Buddha" 
Sansiveri's room lately. Can you 
believe the absolutely disappoint- 
ing finale for "Amerika?" Four- 
teen and a half hours of tube 
viewing for a lousy gun-shot! 

Rumor has it that Mac Cobb is a 
starting football player for the 
Penn State team. Snoopy went to 
Syracuse for the game on Sun- 
day... he was the only person in 
the crowd cheering for George- 
town. You sho is crazy, 
whitebread! Friday night, Mike 
"Bozo" Bendorff had four eyes, 
and he still didn't get anything. 

John Fones- WE saw YOU on 

Saturday night with HER 

unexpected bonus. That's all, 
now some other senior (whom we 
all know and hate) is going to my 
profile.. ..keep it clean. 

This weeks senior profile win- 
ner is John C. Snyder. John is a 
German major who hails from 
Bethlehem, PA. It really doesn't 
matter what his GPA is because 
he doesn't have a real major. The 
only major accomplishment, if 
you can call it that, is spending 
six months in Germany trying to 
learn German from non-hetero- 
sexuals. From what we can tell, 
he must have gotten A's in all his 
classes over there. If he passes in- 
tra to computers at 8:00 daily and 

doesn't sleep through his final, he 
might graduate. But he definitely 
won't be going to graduate school 
because he slept through his 
GRE's and we're making sure 
he'll miss the GRE's in April. Sid 
does have a mediocre future 
because his Dad is the Kilbasa 
King of the east coast. He 
definitely has the equipment to 
take over the family business. We 
will be missing John next year 
because he has been such an asset 
for our intramural sports teams. I 
know there will be a void in the 

intramural football referee squad 
next year if Sid graduates. Sid 
does hold the house record for 
different roommates in a college 
experience. We thought Lumpy 
would have killed him; it doesn't 
matter, we all hate him! See you 
next week.

Kathy Wilcox, Historian/Re- 
porter-Diane Esty, Treasurer-

Secretary-Marge Cook, Ritual-

Delegate-Meg Farmer; Good 
Luck to all!! 

First, the sisters would all like 
to wish sister Kathy Kloss a very 
happy birthday. She is 22 and of- 
ficially old!! The sisters were very 
busy last week with elections and 
activities. Tuesday night was 
. movie night with "Outrageous 
Fortune." Laura Marr won the 
car squeeze with 8, while Kathy 
placed second with 7, and Jen 
Berman finished third with 6. 
"Laura, can I have some more 
popcorn?" And to Nancy Heyer, 
"I'll drop you off at 
Hassinger"..."But I live in 
Seibert!!" 

The ZTA girls kicked off the 
weekend with a house get- 
together early Friday evening. 
We would like to thank the Sig 
Ep brothers who helped us 
celebrate yet another weekend! 
By the way, we are looking for- 
ward to our party with you 
tonight!! Speaking of Sig Ep, An- 
namarie Stewart was Lavaliered 
to Matt (I can't remember how to 
spell your last name). We were 
beginning to give up hope!! 

Saturday was a very busy day 
for the sisters! While Sharon 
Ward was waited on, hand and 
foot, (hope you enjoyed it!!) the 
old and new EC and new PC 
engaged in a fun-filled officers 
retreat. The adventure began 
when the ZTAs embarked for 
that oasis on 11&15, The Bates 
Motel (I mean Port); except for 
Sarah and Karen Hagstrom who 
got lost at Time Market! We got 
a lot accomplished though, and 
began to relax at about 8:00 p.m. 
Chandeliers is still the number 
one requested game, and Marge, 
Kathy and Anita Kloiber all 
agree! Diane enjoyed her Bush 
Coolers (is that how you spell it?) 
while Meg kept the "juices flow- 
ing." When the girls began to lose 
interest, they tried out their 
voices with some Hey Lotti's. 
What kind of Machine, Anita?? I 
wish that I could repeat them, 
but I've been sworn to secrecy. I 
hope that next year's, retreat is at 
least half as fun as this years'!! 

It's now time for a Senior Pro- 
file and this week's lucky reci- 
pient is Sharon Catherine Ward 
Geoghan. You may have seen 
her around. She has short blonde 
shoulder-length dark auburn hair, 
and she lives at the Zeta house or 
New Mens. She will be making a 
permanent residence near Prince- 
ton, and half of her has already 
secured a job with Ernst and 
Whinney, and the other half 
will become a professional 
Mets/Giants fan. She has a major

We wish the best to Sharon 
Catherine!! 

I would now like to thank 
everyone who has read ZTA "It's 
Greek To Us" every week! This is 
my final column and I hope 
everyone has enjoyed reading it, 
as much as I have enjoyed 
writing it. I just want to tell my 
sister and our pledges that I love 
you girls and may ZTA give you 
what it has given me...

SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

Well, I'm sitting here debating 
whether or not I should even 
write "It's Greek To Us" this 
week. I don't know about you, 
but The Crusader not printing 
any of the articles last week really 
ticked me off. Supposedly they 
have had this "rule" that all 
names used in the articles must 
be full names. Well I'm glad 
someone told me about that last 
semester, and it's good to see they 
have been enforcing it all year. 
Come on guys, get your act 
together. Well, now that's off my 
chest. I wonder if the newspaper 
will censor that. If not, that's 
democracy for you. 

Now I can finally start. We 
would like to thank the pledges of 
AAn for a great time last Friday 
night. I almost forgot about those 
few sisters who showed up, 
thanks also. We hope you all had 
a festive time at South of the 
Border. 

Saturday the brothers ex- 
perienced something that no-one 
should ever have to go through. 
We found out first hand what 
slavery is like. Needless to say, 
I'm sure everyone will agree with 
me when I say that it was terrible. 
While we were in bondage most 
of the day, our pledges were on a 
scavenger hunt. Thanks to all the 
fraternities and sororities for their 
cooperation. Did anyone find out 
what those stains were? 

Saturday night we watched 
Liliom in Craig Smith, or was it 
Craig Smith in Liliom? Whatever 
it was, we all enjoyed it. Good 
job, Liliom. 

Thats about it for this week. 
Tonight we are partying with 
ZTA. It promises to be a great 
time— provided we're still stand- 
ing after partying with our 
"families." 

Mr. Sympathy 
P.S. Eric Tucker found his way 
home in time to type this, but 
wrote none of it. We thank him 
deeply for that. 

KAPPA DELTA 

It's Spring!! Can you believe 
last weekend. ..Can you 
remember last weekend?... Spring 
days then suddenly snow!! 
Mother nature is sure playing 
with our minds. There are a few 
KD b-days in need of celebration: 
Happy Birthday to Sisters Karen 
McKenna and Nancy Gibblets, 
as well as Pledge Joanne 
Valuska! Congrats also goes out 
to Sister Dee Weiss who was 
lavaliered by Jeff — she didn't 
even see it on the bear's neck! 

Goodbye to Sisters Sue Can- 
none and Elizabeth Molloy as 
they head off early to the sun 
filled state of Florida! I don't 



want to hear about the 
tans— Okay! The Sisters and the 
Pledges of KD would like to 
thank the Brothers and the 
Pledges of Theta Chi for inviting 
many of them to Theta's 
formal— everyone had fun. 

Last Fri. night was "housing" 
night. Everyone who was there 
knows what I mean. So what if 
we were a small group... We 
finished it, didn't we! Sister 
Christina Rigby was permanently 
glued to the kitchen chair. 
Everyone else was hopping 
around, as Sister Denise Witner 
played the broom and our very 
own President, Maureen Hassett, 
played the dustpan— "You gotta 
fight, for your right..." We all 
know the rest. The Pledges had a 
gathering, too, t Chris Del 
Bueno's. Were j supposed to 
come up there or were they sup- 
posed to come down? 

Just so everyone knows, Sisters 
Gail Friars and Nina Maroon 
went home last weekend... Sorry 
Nina, but unless you do 
something outrageous you'll 
never be mentioned in here again 
That's a threat— aren't I mean!!) 
seriously though, Sisters Jac- 
queline (I've never been called 
Jacquie until I came here) Sorge 
and Nina, we're all glad too! 
Sister Libby Doherty came up to 
visit from Maryland with Libby 
(right!), but no one was home 
because Sisters Patti Corwell and 
Linda Buck also went home. It 
was good to see Libby— Libby 
squared— we mis her, but are 
glad she's happy at Maryland. 

This Fri. holds in store a 
cocktail hour (or two) with the 
Brothers of Phi Sigma Kappa. 
We're psyched! See you guys 
tonight. Certain parties promise 
to stay away from the kitchen 
sink! Remember we have mid- 
terms next week, so study this 
weekend! (Hey, how come 
nobody's listening to me!) 

We have a new award this 
week: The Dial-A-Date Award 
goes out to Sister Laura Fattman, 
who also has been dubbed the 
Nicest Campus Operator! The 
Pledges and their Big Sisters will 
be playing the Newlywed Game 
on Sun. Just a reminder, Pledges, 
even if we do leave our doors 
open, Sisters get the last laugh 
and when we laugh we laugh 
loud and long! 

That's about it! Take care! 
Love in AOT and from my heart,

THETA CHI 

Greetings from the highest 
house on the hill. I would like to 
start out this week's article out by 
thanking the women of Reed for 
pulling us .through last Friday 
night and pushing us on to the 
event that all females have been 
waiting for. A bigger thanks go 
out to the DaubWalker connec 
tion for their gracious hospitality- 
Tom, what was that EST again? 
From there, many brothers shut 
fled off to Phi Mu Delta where 
things really started to "pick up.' 

The main event of last 
weekend was, without any doubt, 
the annual Theta Chi Winter 
Formal, which proved once again 
to be a huge success. We started 
off with the basic cocktail hour 
and then proceeded to feast on 



Friday, February 27, 1987-THECRUSADER-Page 7 



prime rib. Ralph did a great job 
and surprisingly, gave a short and 
relevant speech. And yes of 
course, we cannot forget the fan- 
tastic job that Rose did, but that 
goes without saying. 

Amazingly, brothers Shep and 
Homestead helped the pledges 
return the tables and chairs to the 
campus center on Sunday morn- 
ing. Don't let it go to your heads 
guys, it wasn't that great of a 
feat. The good weather that after- 
noon sparked the first pre-spring 
balcony get-together. Speaking of 
warm weather, spring break is 
rapidly approaching with many 
brothers migrating southward. 
Unfortunately, the rest of us will 
try and hold down the fort from 
any possible interventionists. 

On a serious note, brother 
Humphrey took a voluntary 
leave of absence. Hopefully, he 
will be back to terrorize the 
campus as soon as possible. 

Theta Chi pledges are sporting 
the latest in hairstyles. Sadly, it 
seems to be the newest fad in 
pledgedom. Whose third did you 
do that for? 

A few quickies: 

A belated happy B-day 
Josworth 

Pete, I thought she said she'd 
be right back? 

Brother Thomas was 
Lavaliered 

Brother Marty came up for the 

formal but couldn't find a date in 

time, so he slept with the floor. 

Have a great break,

SIGMA KAPPA 

Hey Y'all! Happy Friday. 
Mother Nature sure has been 
messin' with our minds huh? One 
minute, you're pulling out the ol' 
Coppertone, the next it's back to 
the earmuffs ... when will it end?! 
If only this was the Univ. of 
Hawaii! 

Anyway, let's get down to 
business ... This past week was 
without a doubt newsworthy. 
Where should I start. First of all, 
a huge thanks goes out to the 
brothers of Phi Sigma Kappa for 
a fantabulous time last Saturday 
night at our first annual Interna- 
tional Party. Everything was 
great - from USA to Russia. But 
who made the Spain?...oh my. 
The kitchen was always crowded 
and something funny was going 
on behind the lines in Germany 
and Japan ... talk about "mixing." 
The fruity hours-devours were a 
hit ... best tasting oranges I ever 
had! (Sister Barb Bakerman 
seemed to think so too) Sister 
Holly "it's only half a glass" 
Whittaker was practicing 
awareness that night ... she and 
everyone else was aware of her. 

And the dancing... oooh baby! A 
new dynamic duo dance team 
was discovered-our very own Pat 
*y King and Nancy Stepsus with 
their rendition of tapdancing 
ballet. Definitely a memorable 
night. 

Sigma situation of the week: 
Two Susquehanna students de- 
cide to do something different, 
hey take a walk, on a railroad 
[essel ... everything is dandy 
^ey get to the middle of the 
Jndge when out of nowhere is 
Mr. Train running toward them 
t&ads! They boogey, Should they 



jump? Should they accept defeat 
and face their fate? Should they 
try and jump aboard? None of 
the above ... they run like ... well, 
they run as fast as they can. Do 
they make it? Let's put it this way 
... is there "It's Greek To Us" this 
week to read? (hint, hint) 

On the serious side of Sigma 
News, Bravo to Megan Moyer 
and Sue "give me back my 
handkerchief Bailey on a job 
well done in the play last 
weekend. Congrats on a great 
season to Kay "what was the 
bet?" Czap and all the others. 
And Kudos to everyone else ... 
for whatever saintly task you ac- 
complished last week. 

And now ... pledge update! 
The youngsters are doing great. 
Pledges Jen Miller and Leslie Rip- 
pard were snagged while the 
other munchkins played com- 
mando last Sunday night. The 
sisters all seem to be missing 
something from their rooms 
WHICH BETTER BE RE 
TURNED SOON. However, as 
always, our darling kidlings are 
finding out that sisters always get 
the last laugh! (right Meredith 
Denliker?) And to pledges Linda 
Steiner, Terri DeMott, and Sun- 
day Cahill ... clean your room!! 
Rumor has it that pledge Kelly 
Varden was head commando ... 
hmmmm ... revenge could be 
sweet. We love each and 
everyone of you. We're lucky to 
have you as a part of us. 

So now as deadline draws near 
and the homework is calling, it is 
time to bid "adieu." Good luck 
everyone with their mid-terms, 
and let's have a great Spring 
break! So until we meet again ... 
let us part friends. 

Sigma's Love and Mine; 
L.D. 
Quote of the week: 
Once a task has begun 
Never leave it 'til it's done 
Be the labor great or small 
Do it well or not at all! 

PHI MU DELTA 

Hiya! Enough small talk, on tc 
this week's Senior Profile, the one 
you've all been waiting for, Jay 
Vernon George!! Possibly the 
loudest man who ever lived, Jay 
hails from Franklin Lakes N.J., 
also known as Little Israel to a 
select few. What can't be said 
about Vernon, well, not much. 
This master of the inobvious lists 
his favorite pleasures as Guiness 
Stout (ah-ha!), E.L.ers (ah-ha!), 
wearing "Leave it to Beaver 
shirts" (ah-ha!), and uttering pro- 
found statements which make 
sense to no one but himself (ah- 
ha!). 

In addition to being one of the 
world's most audible men, Jay's 
head size also tops that of mortal 
men, quite resembling a football. 
One closing comment on Jay 
George, in the immortal words of 
Higgs, 'To see Jay George is to 
hear him." 

Moving on, congratulations go 
out to Y.T. McCaffrey for 
leading the Muds last term in 
grades with a shocking 3.5; for 
this lofty achievement, Mom 
raised his allowance to $4.00 a 
week. Kevin's rigorous schedule 
last term consisted of Art Ap- 
preciation, Theatre Practice, 



Painting, and the demanding 
English Composition with Dr. 
Klingensmith. How in the world 
did he ever do so well with such 
tortuous lineup? 

As you're peacefully reading 
this "It's Greek To Us", Brother 
Kevin "Blob" Garrity is suffering 
the effects of his 20th birthday 
last night; happy birthday, fatty. 

Also, the Phi Mu Delta music 
lovers (Higgs and Harry) would 
like to recognize ex-Beatle 
George Harrison's 44th birthday 
last Wednesday. 

And speaking of music, Higg's 
compilation of the Top Ten Phi 
Mu Delta Bands is finally in. 
They are, in ascending order 
(That means from the worst to 
the best, kind of like climbing 
stairs if you're vocabulary is still 
limited to Romper Room level): 
10-Eagles, 9-Pink Floyd, 
8-Genesis (not a good showing, 
Rich), 7-U2, 6-R.E.M. (not bad, 
hey 4-oh-slime), 5-Higg's Beatles, 
4-Bruce Springsteen, 3-Pumpkin's 
Who, 2-Rolling Stones, and final- 
ly, #1, Led Zeppelin. 

A few quick notes, this week's 
Pow's are Jayson (I'd rather be 
with Barkid) Dunbar, and Rick 
(call me Rico) Stumpf. Also, bet- 
ter bring the pesticides, because 
rumor has it there's going to be a 
Bug in the House, Beerbug, that 
is. Finally, did you know that 
Yang Chin is the Goat God? 

Enough of this dung, I'm going 
to close March, April's, when's, 
update. 

See Ya, 
—Harold and Timmo 



ALPHA DELTA PI 

Howdy.... 

We'd like to congratulate all of 
the new officers which were 
elected last Tuesday night. Con- 
grat's go out to Michelle Zuniga 
who is now our dedicated leader, 
to Vice Pres. Sally Nickey, to 
Pledge Trainer Alice Body, 
Treasurer Barb Cooke, Rush 
Michelle Ballotta, and Kim Gor- 
man, Recording Secretary.. .We'd 
like to go on, but that would take 



a while! So III just say good luck, 
and if you all follow in the 
footsteps of those before you, 
things will be great!! 

Happy Birthday to the one and 
only Cheryl Gaffney this week! 

We'd like to thank all the 
brothers of Sig Ep for the cocktail 
party last Friday night! Everyone 
had a great time, thanks! 

We had a circle last week, and 
we'd all like to congratulate Sally 
Bittel who was lavaliered to Rick 
Thomas of Theta Chi— 

Since the current trend seems 
to be on Senior Profiles, we'd like 
to close this week with a profile 
on our fearless leader, Donna 
"Duna" Neal: ^ 

Background: Donna is from 
Long Island, where her family 
runs and operates a large raisin 
growing plantation. Donna is in 
charge of quality control on the 
plantation. 

Favorite food: Raisins, of 
course. 

Favorite recording group: Toni 
Orlando and Dawn 

Favorite style: the bee look (by 
the way, Donna, how are things 
at the hive?) 

Favorite hangouts: Lambda, 
the Sub, Lambda, ADPi House, 
Lambda, the local raisin plant, 
Lambda, and when she was 
Pledge Trainer, Donna enjoyed 
hanging out on the scrape line 

Favorite activities: Steve Cur- 
ran, making Sally XXX and 
Cokes, Singing "Boom-Boom," 
Sooch, getting tied to the basket 
ball poles, and other various 
flagrant activities. 

Favorite motto: "A shot a day 
keeps the doctor away." 

Well, that's all the exciting 
news for this week.... Have a 
great weekend, and don't worry, 
Pledges, you only have eight 
months till initiation. ...hang in 
there! 

Gretchen, remember that if 
you have a dispute to settle, don't 
take matters into your own 
hands, take it into our 
forum.. .take it to Judge Joey

Like it, Love it, OR ELSE!!!

LAMBDA CHI ALPHA 

Hi fans! We survived another 
funfilled weekend. No thanks to 
our fellow Greek counterparts. 
That's O.K. guys, we understand, 
you feel intimidated by our high 
GPA. Once again the brothers of 
Lambda Chi Alpha achieved the 

highest GPA among all frater 
nities on campus for this last 
semester. Those crayons must 
really be helping!! We celebrated 
this gala event this weekend with 
one of our now famous "behind 
closed door" gatherings. Ask 
Dean for more details. We fol- 
lowed this up on Saturday when 

the BUNDERS put on their 
game faces to support the 
hoopsters in Merk's (Bruce 
Merklinger) final appearance in 
the good 'ole Orange and 
Maroon. Magilla Gorilla Gras 
and Cpt. Shazam helped lead our 
spirited associates in a few on- 
court cheers. By the way, Bob 
Bessior — "get a real sports coat." 

Congratulations go out to our 
awesome intramural B-ball team 
on their impressive undefeated 
record. One of the highlights of 
their season was the impressive 
win over our neighbors on the hill 
(THETA CHI) of an un- 
believable forty points. Congrats 
also go out to the farm team on 
their first win of the season (that's 
O.K., we'll get you in softball). 
Speaking of sports, the first an- 
nual Little Brother/Big Brother 
"touch ?" football game will be 
played tomorrow at 1:30 on the 
soccer field. All are invited to 
watch Brother Bob "I'm really a 
nice guy" Cheddar in his farewell 
game. Be sure to arrive early with 
the kids to see All-M.A.C. D. End 
Rich Close go through his world 
famous flex routine. He will be 
available for autographs after the 
game. Other All-M.A.C. players 
to keep an eye on include, 
Damian "Bone-Crusher" Car- 
raciola, Pete "I've got a 3.89" 
Stoma and offensive guard John 
Pavlishin. Don't worry, Thor- 
sheim, the grass will grow back 
bv next soccer season.

boy, did the Gamma have a rock

Before I get too far into this 

adventurous news column, I 

think I speak for all the Gammas 

when we extend our gratitude 

to Buddha, Sid and the rest of the 

Phi Sigma Kappas for having us 

down to the house this past 

weekend, hope your house 



renovations get done soon and 
we are really sorry we couldn't 
get Madge out of the hot tub.

Lysol had to be rushed to the 
hospital last weekend for cuts and 
heavy breathing marks on his 
body. It seems a 12.75 foot long 
lobster with bronchitis looms on 
<our SU campus, attempting to 

attack anything it sees. But, don't 

worry, the Gamma men are now 
rustling up lynch mobs for this 
Saturday night. This shellfish is

We'd also like to remind 
everyone that Gamma now has 
stationary in the bookstore. Wijj

enough money to buy the Civil 
War chess set. Before I go...let's 
not forget that since Cocoa and 
Buckwheat were so successful 
with their fundraisers Bugbear 

wants to give it a shot. It seems 
old Buggy wants to go to the Alps '

PHI SIGMA KAPPA 

Greetings from the Ave. They 
say that February is a dead and 
depressing month...I believe it. 
Speaking of dead (Yeah, the 
Dead)-they're going to be appear- 
ing at the Meadowlands the 6th 
and 7th of April. Remember that 
tix go on sale the 28th. Well, 
THEE official "I Hate Sid" 
weekend was sparked off with the 
continuation of Tom Harrison's 
and my indulgence in the Satur- 
day Morning Insanity Olympics- 
this week's event was wrestling, 
or kickboxing, or "I don't care if 
you've got a hockey helmet on, 
I'm going to annihilate you, and 
throw you off the front porch." 
Result- Darthead wins. But this 
week's laughter will be next 
week's revenge, Dart. Sunday's 
trashing of my room was the 
grand finale of the painful 
weekend.. .and Rob Ancipink 
"tries so hard" to keep it tidy. 
Rumor has it that some little kid 
walked in there and still hasn't 
been found. Anyway, Pete 
Shearer lost some good friends on 



top-ten list of the eve., from our 
home- office in Annapolis, Md. 
Tonight's list is the top-ten 
reasons for coming down to party 
at 403 Univ. Ave. 10) To hear 
Bozo's amazing party tapes. 9) 

Always an interesting conversa- 
tion with Jeff Catt and Andy 
Bowman in the kitchen. 8) The 
easy attempt to pick up unwary 
alumni. 7) To know what city 
Randy Noonan's really from. 6) 

Watch pledges dance to 
"VMCA." 5) To satisfy the 
curiosity of "does God really live 
in their attic?" 4) Watch Greg 
Yori cite Greek verse on the bar. 



3) Witness Keith "Beef Bauman 
do "the Egyptian" next to Pres. 
Yori. 2) Make interesting conver- 
sation with the people in line for 
the John. AND, number one...l) 
To ask "Why is Lande?" OK, that 
wraps that up. Suppose there's to 
be an around-the-worlder with 
the kooks from Sigma Kappa at 

Sunday night... how many of 

them were good looking? Forrest some time this weekend. (Sunday 

Davenport was up for the morning, girls?) 

weekend, and whilst on This week's Senior Profile is 

maneuvers, got his car stuck in a disrespectfully going to Dennis 

field. Anything for a good time, "Buddha" Sansiveri. Dennis hails 

eh? Spud was played today with a from Cedar Grove, NJ, and is a 

mad- ball, which just didn't cut it. 

Also, in the world of sports, our 
soccer team lost to the Frosh 
Five, with Mr. Snoopy Ancipink 
in the goal. Rumor also has that 
Mike "Bozo" Bendorf wasn't go- 
ing to let "Snoopy" back into the 
house. Also that evening, Chris 
"Lumpy" Pluta and I thwarted 
an unsuccessful (and a little 
weird) kidnap attempt by the 
pledges. But, they did carry on 
with a rather successful hotdog 
sale that eve. How'd the 
scavenger hunt go? We do know 
that Dennis enjoyed his J's subs 
from Easton. And now for our

history major. He looks like a 
cross between the two leads from 
"Animal House"- John Belushi 
and Ken "Flounder" Dorfman. 
Dennis prides himself as being 

one of the more loud and ob- 
noxious of our crowd, but there 
are some good qualities to him. 
(Oh yeah, like what?) He is often 
referred to as "Carpenter Bob," 
and can build anything, provided 
that there's a back-hoe and 
ratchet involved. (Yeah, Buddha, 
use this article for your resume.) 

Dennis plays with his Leggos, his 
Firebird (which is equipped with 
a sound system that can be heard 
3 blocks away), and his new life- 
sized Gumby doll. Dennis' well- 
known sayings change weekly, 
but the most notorious is "first of 
all..." How 'bout them potatoes? 
They're flashcards, Rusty-O,

PHI MU DELTA 

Hiya! Welcome to Phi Mu 
Delta "It's Greek to Us." This 
should be a lousy article due to 
the assistance of lowly Pledges, 
but 111 try to make do. 

To recap last weekend, without 
a doubt, the Starrs were out and 
"flashing" a most disgusting 
sight, especially with the help of 
Mr. Go-Go Vecchio and Rick 
"The Tree" Stumpf. Friday also 

brought together a horde of 
rowdy Seniors to The Dumpster's 
pad, and not a fish was safe. This 
finally lead to the barely visible 
"Black and White" affair, which 
was a success as usual. 

Saturday night brought on a 
lame attempt for a Valentine's 
Day gathering for those who 
weren't asked to the ADPi 
Formal, of which nothing else 
will be said to protect myself. 
Seriously, all who attended had a 

blast; thanks, girls. Brother Chris 
Lowe also received the illustrious 
"King of Diamonds" award, of 
which I have no understanding, 
so not much else will be said. 

And now, it's on to the Senior 
Profile. This week's recipient is a 
Lankster at Large, standing 
about 7'8" and weighing about 
101 pounds. Some of this man's 
feats include watching Gumby, 
drinking through his nose, head 

butts (Lobo's.idea), and looking 
entirely too big to ride a motor- 
cycle. This past President sports a 
size 19 Chuck Taylor, and plans 
to open a Big-Man, Tall-Man 
Clothing Store this Friday with 
Big-Man himself, since this Fri- 
day brings the two of them to age 
22. This anonymous man hails 

from Elmwood Park, N.J., and 
lives with a man of many words, 
Dave Szawlewicz, er, Brucie A. 
Lackowitz. Since he's resigned 
from the Bono Look-a Like con- 
test, Mr. X plans to pursue his 
interests in underwater carp 
studies, the fine art of Twister, 



and small game hunting (no 
sexual connotations intended). 
This original revitalization 
Brother will be receiving his 
degree in English this May, and 
will be sorely missed by Phi Mu 
Delta. Do you know who I'm 
talking about? If not, it's your 
loss. 



Some quick notes, POW goes 
to Ric (I'm 2-0 at 190) 
Moskowitz; Jay George speaks 
approximately 6 decibels too 
loud; Beerbug, be a little more 
careful in the future; and Homer, 
you're in my seat. 
Enough said, Dude, bye, 
Slim 



SIGMA KAPPA 

Hey dudes! Friday is welcomed 
with open arms on this side of the 
typewriter, hope y'all feel the 
same way. Considering half the 
student body went home last 
weekend, there is not much to 
tell. However, about the little 
news I have ... boy, is it good! 

For those of you who didn't 
notice, last weekend did include 
Valentine's Day. Was Cupid 
nuked?! But seriously, con- 
gratulations to Mr. Ken Newman 
for being awarded the Sigma 
Kappa sweetheart of 1987. Also 
congrats goes to our very own 
Holly Whittaker for getting that 
same award by Sigma Phi Ep- 
silon. 

In case the entire campus 
hasn't heard already, a few sisters 
went on a road trip last weekend 
to the shore. The ocean water 
must have been freezing, but ap- 
parently these sisters managed to 
get into a little hot water of their 
own. This group of wild and 
without-a-doubt- crazy ladies 
decided to play a game of cops 
and robbers. As it's stated in the 
police blotter, sister Lewis could 
not keep track of her car ... one 
sec it was there, the next POOF! 
it was gone. The "authorities" 
took care of it, right, Kim? And 
Julie, whoever looks under the 
passenger seat?! As a result of 
j this all, Sister Stepsus has 
declared herself Amish. Nancy 
will explain if asked. 

And now for our latest pledge 
[ update. The youngsters are doing 
I fine ... they're even learning new 
I adjectives as a result of pledging. 
Big's and little's were introduced 
last Sunday night and smiles were 
I had by all. Shari - where were 
I you? And by the way, why were 
there so many red faces? ... were 
some of you embarrassed? I just 
don't understand. And dahlines 
... your doors just looked stun- 
ning! The shenanigans continued 
on Monday night when things 
got a little out of hand. Our 
doors are always open for our 
pledges to come visit ... but at 
3 a.m., girls?! I guess we'll all 
laugh about it later ... when we 
get you back! The doughnuts 
were good, though, and you're all 
still on the top of our list! 

A few more quick announce- 
| ments, congratulations to Beth 
Evans, who signed a contract last 
| weekend and actually stuck to 
the deal. But what was the deal, 
Dana? Our very own Sue 
Franchie has won the PA lottery 
and one of her first buys was a 
Personalized car phone. And 
Sister Tibaldi ... BUSTED! Good 
' u ck and best wishes to Amy 
Fuller with results of her comps, 

a nd Happy late 21st b-day to 
s,ster Sue Bailey. Come one,

looks "pretty stiff ha-ha (the 
jokes are getting worse). The 
showers aren't even safe when 
Lisa's around, right, Lisa? A con- 
tinuation from last weekend, 
Kinghead and Frankface are now 
tied at 1-1. 

Good luck to all sports and 
their competition this week and 
to everyone else ... "let's be 
careful out there!" It's been real, 
it's been fun ... Real Fun though? 
Naaahhh. A correction from last 
week's issue: Thanks, Theta, for 
the mixer! Phi Sig - get psyched 
for our international party tomor- 
row night! Until Next Week ... 
Let Us Part Friends! 

Sigma's Love and Mine;

P.S. When I was a child, I caught 
a fleeting glimpse out of the 
corner of my eye. 

I turned to look, but it was no 
longer ... 

I cannot put my finger on it 
now, 

The child has grown ... 
The dream is gone ... 

And I, I have become ... com- 
fortably numb! 

KAPPA DELTA 

G'day mate— love those 
Australian accents! First off, 
you'll probably be noticing the 
KDs around campus in the future 
collecting money for our 
Shamrock Project— the project 
raises money for the Prevention 
of Child Abuse, so if you see a 
KD, make a pledge... your small 
change could change a child's life. 

Thanks goes out to the Pledges 
for the beautiful Valentine's 
Roses! What a nice surprise. Did 

you figure out what was missing 
yet? The pledges are such a crew: 
Melissa Challice (whose name, by 
the way, was supposed to be in 
bold capital letters last week) was 
quite a case this past 
weekend.. .What did you do all 
day Sat., Melissa? Cary Ann 
Owens and Cindy Smith are on a 
mission from God, and Cindy 
gets the Girl Scout award— she's 
prepared, she brings her own. 
Julie Winebarger was also a lot of 
fun Sat. night. 

Congrats are in order for Sister 
Lynda Butler, who was lavaliered 
by Mark Thorshiem (and we 
thought it would never hap- 
pen—these guys sure can be sly). 
Lynda is heading overseas to Ger- 
many and we wish her the best of 
luck, but we're going to miss her! 

Thanks also goes out to the 
brothers of Theta Chi for a super 
time Fri. night. The band was 
awesome! Thanks to the sisters of 
Sigma Kappa, as well, for the 
note they sent us— Congrats to 
them. too. 

We have a few KD birthdays 
to celebrate: Happy Birthday to 
Sisters Sharon Daugherty, Karen 
McKenna and Nancy Gibblets! 
Also, Happy Birthday to Pledge 
Nicole Lefchak! 



The award for the most 
original Valentine's Day gift goes 
to Sister Liz Kelly: a new 6 foot 
inflatable Gumby doll! Sister 
Kathy French had better stop 
eating those sundaes or shell gain 
weight. Sisters Elizabeth Molloy 
and Gail Friars want it to be 
known that those were fun games 
they played with Crazy and 
Rockin'. Sister Christina Rigby 
was wondering if it was orange. 
Who cares if Dick Lewis is watch- 
ing! Was Sat. the Chunk night? 
' Gee— I fell asleep. The Univer- 
sity would like to congratulate 
you on your invitation.. .Sisters 
Sue Rattay and Christina will be 
entering the NY School of Ballet 
next fall for their fine perfor- 
mances on both Fri. and 
Sat.— Remember, Christina, No 
Line Dances! Elizabeth has de- 
cided to leave school to attend 
the PA School of Bartending. Bill 
doesn't like her any more, I hear. 
Next Sat. afternoon KD can be 
seen on Dancin' on Air, so tune 
in! And, finally (whew), Sister 
Maureen Hassett would like to 
thank Mark Delauter for his help- 
ing hand two weeks ago. 
That's all.. .Until next week, 

Love in AOT, 

P. LaBelle 

P.s. —By the way, in case you 
didn't know already, Sister 
Lauren Bodmer's brother (Not 
my brother!) was visiting— She 
didn't tell you, did she? 

THETA CHI 

I figured just this once, I, being 
a senior, could spill some Spud 
blood and stain you all with infor- 
mation. First, I'd like to ask Jerry 
Garcia to send us our tickets for 
the Deadshow in Worcester, 
Mass. Many Spuds dipped in tye- 
dye are truckin' up in an attempt 
to be the most DEADicated 
fraternity at SU. I feel that Phil 
and Tom are all the edge we 
need. 

Our band party Friday night 
was in Theta fashion as Anthem 
impressed all present. I personally 
sat at the bar and threw bread in 
brother Ringler's jar and said 
man what are you doin' here? 
Thanks go out to Kappa Delta 
for "warming up the party" with 
their usual style. 

Saturday night many of the 
brothers glided into the Alpha 
Delta Pi formal and shuffled out 
with smiles on their faces. I didn't 
dare ask why. The rest of us held 
down the fort and Van Ellis until 
a healthy 7:30 a.m.

Alumni were seen hiding in 
trees this weekend, including 
brothers Ellis, Cordasco, Harris, 
Wathall, Menninger, Hawkins, 
Yoggy, Ducky and Pete Mc- 
Quaid who, once again, was seen 
mowing the hallways. Will this 
sickness ever end? 

Of course, I can't forget about 
our pledges. Well, it looks like 
you're ready to hit the peak of 
your climb to brotherhood- but 
watch out for a landslide. Speak- 
ing of landslides, pledge Fusco 
acted as a geologic disaster Fri- 
day night in prime Sir Gropealot 
fashion. Take it easy at the 
formal, kid. 

My quickies list includes Lee 
Kipp and Chris Brennan 
plunging into new school records 
in swimming. Brothers Lucas and 
Hampsher met "the Rock Man" 
in Freeland last weekend. Final- 
ly, our formal is scheduled for 
this weekend with operators still 
taking orders. 

Your Downtown 

Social/chairman, 

JAW 

SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

Did you ever have to start 
something and you had no idea 
how to go about it? Well, that is 
what is happening here, and that 
is why you are reading this stupid 
introduction. So we'll just start in 
to this weeks' whatever you want 
to call it. 

Congratulations to everyone 
who helped us with the SU 
Phonathon this week. Thanks to 
many brothers, pledges, and little 
sisters, we raised over $6600 
dollars. Good job, everyone. 

It was good to see many of our 
alumni up this weekend. They all 
had a good time; we just hope 
Dave Sweigard leaves the confetti 
at home next time. Our Valen- 
tines' Day party with our Golden 
Hearts was a good time. We hope 
the passion punch wasn't too 



much for you girls. It was good to 
see that Craig Smith could stay in 
the wagon for at least one night. 
The brothers would like to 
thank all of their slaves this past 
weekend. Our rooms are still 
clean. Please be gentle on us 
tomorrow. 

We're sorry to hear that Rick 
and the rest of that scurvy town 
of his won't be here this weekend, 
but what can you expect from 
"the Junior." 

Good luck to the pledges 
tomorrow on their scavenger 
hunt. Remember, if you can't 
find something, it can probably 
be found at Jim Faust's Going 
Out of Office Sale. 

Now for a tour of the house. 
We're glad to hear that Brother 
Tourville will be back in action 
this weekend. Don't expect to see 
Eric Tucker around; he's too 
busy watching Amerika. Brother 
Smith will be on his best behavior 
this weekend since his parents 
will be up to see him star in 
Liliom. Craig, introduce them to 
your Martian friend. Don't 
bother looking for Lee "Fozzie" 
Hunt this weekend; he'll be busy 
trying to make new editions to 
Steve's Greek notes, while 
Brother Lopez will be busy trying 

to separate his toes. Attention: 

L S s. 

Owens, ladders are meant for 
climbing, and so are stairs, but 
the two just don't mix. Jim, I 
hope you can find a formal date 
at your new store. Dilks, I heard 
your girlfriend had a hard time 
distinguishing between you and 
your brother this past weekend. 
The Army, they do more before 9 
o'clock than the Duke does in a 
week. Layng, get your alarm 
clock out of that fridge. And 
finally, this years outstanding 
scrape line award goes to Ar- 
mand Dodsworth, congratula 
tions for the fourth vear in a row.

who are writing this article. (Ed, I 
couldn't leave you out.) 

Now, turning our attention to 
this weekend. We are all looking

be a great time. 

For those of you interested, 
Jim and Steve will be giving tours

ZETA TAU ALPHA 

Good Afternoon and welcome 
to "It's Greek to Us"! A reminder 
to all Seniors: only 89 days 'til 
graduation!! 

First, Congratulations go out 
to our newest pledge, Karen 
DeGraw. May you find friend- 
ship and sisterhood as we the 
sisters have. Now, on to 
business... The ZTAS raised over 
$150.00 from the sales of their 
Candy-grams for Valentine's 
Day. Again, we wish to thank 
everyone who supported us in 
raising funds for our Philan- 
thropy— The Association for 
Retarded Citizens. To all EC (old 
and new) and PC (new) officers... 
get ready for our retreat this 
weekend! I hear the Pres. has 
some fun-filled adventure for us! 

The Zetas were also out at the 
court cheering on Beth Noble at 
her final women's collegiate 
basketball game Wednesday 
night. Will we see you at the Inn 
now, Beth? And belated congrats 
to last week's lucky recipient of 
the B-squared award!! Next time, 
Bonnie, we get you a cast. 



Our pledges must have been on 
their best behavior last w-end or 
else they are secretly planning a 
prank on the sisters because I 
haven't heard news about any of 
them! Well, on to a recap of last 
weekend.. .The Zetas started off 
the weekend with their "House 
Attitude Adjustment Hour." It 
must have worked because their 
attitudes were still adjusted on 
Sunday night! Sister Leslie Feil 
was up this past weekend to visit 
her beau and rumor has it that 
she is returning next weekend 
with sister Betsy Whitham. 

Lambda Chi was the place to be 
for Laura Marr and Barb Har- 
rison. 

Some sisters would like to 
dedicate a song to Miss 
Marr.. ."so many men, so little 
time..." and we are curious as to 
how freshman orientation went 
on Saturday nightf Barb? There 
are just so many Zeta 
Barbs... who could it be? Bonnie 
Herb took a slight detour home 
this weekend! What's in Smith? 

ZTA now has a shuttle run- 
ning to Micky Dee's on Sat. 
nights thanks to Kat Heller. I 
think there is a career path open- 
ing here!! By the way Nance, 
"Where's the salt?" and "How 
was the apple pie?" 

Kathy Kloss was home again 
this past weekend and I hear that 
she will be appearing on an up- 
coming Divorce Court. Question 
of the Week goes out to my 
neighbor, Linda Hagelgans: 
"What are we doing wrong? Are 
we bad people?" (inside joke) 

On Sat. night, Laura helped 
Valerie Hansen celebrate her 
B-Day 21 times! Why so many? 
Who ever said that Sunday 
Nights are boring? The SNZTAS 
had their first meeting on Sunday 
evening at the Inn and managed 
to give week-end a new name 
(week-don't end). Our newest 
legal member joined us (the

LAMBDA CHI ALPHA 

Hi fans! First of all we would 
like to thank all twelve of you 
ladies for attending our Around 
The World Party last Friday. 
That's alright, it left more for us. 
We'll have to do it again 
sometime! A special thanks go 
out to The Snake for breaking 
out "Sweet Home Chicago" and 
to Damian and Rich Roth for 
helping me with my pants. A 

select few of the Brotherhood 
would like to thank the sisters of 
A D Pi for a stupendous time at 
their winter formal. The rest of us 
managed just fine on Saturday (I 
think). Saturday afternoon was 
celebrated by the first of our 
weekly spring bashes sponsored 
by the Saturday Afternoon 
Robed Drinking Association 
(S.A.R.D.A.). It is spring, isn't it? 

Oh well, so much for tech- 
nicalities. The night wasn't 
without casualties though. Scott 
Torok is currently suffering from 
a severe case of Bar-Toe. We 
hope amputation won't be 
necessary, so wish Scott well 
when you see him!

This weekend's calendar of 
events is packed. Friday night we 
will sponsor a special charity 
event: Save The Reed Boys. The 
money raised from this event will 
be put towards bail bonds and a

ALPHA DELTA PI 

Before we acknowledge all of 
the activities of the "big event," 
on Saturday, we'd like to say hap- 
py 22nd to Lauren Warnike. 

For starters, thanks go out to 
Pam Culos, Colleen Kosa and 
Sarah Reynolds for the fantastic 
pre-formal gathering. 

Warning: No names have been 
changed to protect the guilty (or 
innocent). 

Here it goes: 

1) Sharon Tirpak- maybe you 
should send your date some 
SHOUT for his shirt through 
campus mail... 

2) Was that the flying Nun, or 
Guzikowski on the dance floor? 

3) Hey Dell, did the water taste 
a little funny to you? It sure did 
to me... 

4) McElwee- Pull yourself 
together!!! 



5) Sue Heffernan- Why do you 
think your date drove 4 hours?! 

6) How tout those eyes, Sally 
Nickey? 

7) Sooch Curran had a pretty 
good way of getting out of 
dancing, but does it still hurt 9 
Tough time getting up in the 
morning, huh? 

8) Pledge Blatt is following in 
her big sister Johanson's 
footsteps, and by the way Leta, 
dance floors are for dancing, 
not... 

9) Pledge Long- Maybe you 
should take a little nap before our 
next formal so you don't miss it!! 

1 0) Thanks to sisters Church & 
Dell, and their marvelous dates 
Craig "Smitty" Smith & Lance 
Wagner for their entertainment 
during dinner... 

1 1) It seemed as though there 
was an invasion of munchkins as 
sisters Gasull, Collins, Tom 
Kocaj and others inhaled large 
quantities of helium... 

12) Tom and Allison Zarra 
started a new tradition with a 
ceremonial smashing of that love- 
ly ADPi good-for-nothing (but 
smashing) formal glass— it was a 
touching scene, wasn't it Tom? 
(nice hat...)

Gasull, John Leitged and Scott 

Harding didn't take up all of the 

sleeping accommodations, there

CANDY CORN REVISITED 

Candy corn: the object of a 
perfectionist's pursuit? I'd never 
thought of the tasty morsels that 
way. Of course, I've bitten off 
one color at a time (starting with 
the small white tip, and using my 
fingernail to mark my bite). I 
never, before now, questioned 
why I would sometimes eat a 
candy corn kernel this way. 

This seems to be true of many 
things we do. Can you or I say 
why we do most things? Do we 
ever really think about our 
actions? Well, I've thought about 
candy corn, and why I eat them 
the ways I do. 

When it comes to eating candy 
corn, I approach it by eating it 
section by section, striving for 
perfect bites; and I approach it by 
eating it section by section, seek- 
ing only to see a pure color re- 
maining after each bite; and I ap- 
proach it by eating an entire 
piece, or entire handful, knowing 
the sweet flavor is only a chew or 
two away. 

There is for me, then, this 
striving for perfection and seek 
ing a realistic esthetic goal, and 
the simple joy of doing. 

Inasmuch as eating candy corn 
is an analogy for how we might 
approach any task, do the three 
approaches to eating candy corn 
hold true for any task? What 
about such tasks as writing a 
paper, cleaning house, or search- 
ing for a job? 

We have probably all, at times, 
gotten caught up in the desire to 
produce the perfectly worded and 
typed resume, to clean and scrub 
until there's not a germ or speck 
of mildew remaining, or to write 
the perfectly organized and ab- 
solutely most persuasive paper, 
ever. If we don't hit our limita- 
tions too hard and give up 
altogether (or before we even 
start), we usually set more 
realistic goals and either happily 
achieve them, or gain satisfaction 
looking at the achievement of 
movement or progress toward 
them. 

Now, is there joy in the doing 
of these tasks? Meaning, is there

joy in the doing besides from, 
beyond, or in addition to, 
reaching a goal (whether the goal 
is completion, progress or "a' 
good, not perfect, job")? I think 
yes, there is, and unfortunately 
not very often. 

I have discovered joy in the do- 
ing of "happens" performing such 
tasks as these. I have found that, 
with generally considered un- 
pleasant tasks, there is a strong 
"it's good to do it" or "have to, 
should" voice and a strong "it's 
no fun to do it" or "no way, I 
won't/can't" voice in me, which 
can battle endlessly (or one gains 
control). As to not hear either 
voice, 1 find myself unstuck and 
enjoying what I'm doing. 

Now, maybe "enjoying" is not 
an accurate word. Rather, I feel 
completely drawn into whatever 
it is I am doing. It is not the emo- 
tional cheerful and jolly ex- 
perience so much as it is a "this 
fits" or "this feels absolutely 
right" experience. There is no 
unpleasant feeling at all. What 
"happens" is that there is ab- 
solutely nothing else I'd rather be 
doing at that (or in those) mo- 
ments). In this sense, there is joy 
or pleasure in the doing of 
writing, cleaning, creating, 
typing, or whatever. And there's 
more. 

There are also very real, and 
previously hidden, treasures in 
the very attentive doing of 
generally considered unpleasant 
tasks. The clean and even 
margins of my resume are eye- 
appealing. Researching a topic 
and having one of those "Oh, 
that's why or how or when!" ex- 
periences, is exhilarating. The 



smell of pine and lemon or the 
sparkle of clean porcelain are 
very nice, indeed. 

So, is there a point to these 1 1 
paragraphs? Yes inasmuch as if 
you think about it, you have at 
least three choices in how you 
might approach eating candy 
corn or any other task. And, I

The campus has spent close to 
$12,000 on new doors for the 
dorms. Once they are installed it 
will be the students responsibility 
to keep them shut so that the 
mice do not have a way to get in. 

With the winter months 
coming to an end the mice 
problems here on campus will 
begin to subside. However, the 
students must be willing to 
cooperate with the school if any 
progress is to be expected.

Merklinger On Fire 



Despite not playing a con- 
ference game in the middle of the 
week, the Susquehanna Universi- 
ty men's basketball team saw 
their hopes of repeating as Mid- 
dle Atlantic Conference (MAC)- 
Northern Division champions 
vanish, and there was nothing 
they could do about it. 



The Crusaders, who entered 
their Feb. 18 contest against non- 
conference foe York College with 
an 8-7 league record, still had a 
chance to earn a birth in the 
MAC-Northern Division play- 
offs. However, when Lycoming 
lost to Delaware Valley 90-88 on 
that same night, the Orange and 
Maroon's playoff chances were 
gone. 

The Lycoming loss eliminated 
them of any chance of tying Sus- 
quehanna and Elizabethtown for 
the second playoff position from 
the Northwest league. Since 
E-town had defeated SU twice 
already this season, if they had 
ended up tied for the final playoff 
spot, the Blue Jays would have 
gotten it based on their record 
against SU. 



However, with Lycoming's 
loss, the Crusaders could not do 
any better than tie the Blue Jays 
for second place and therefore 
were knocked out of the playoff 
picture. 

In the game against York, Sus- 
quehanna took a three-point 
halftime lead, as they held their 
opponents to a 34.5% shooting 
average from the floor. 

The Orange and Maroon battle 
the Spartans in the second half, 
and held a slim advantage for the 
first ten minutes of the second 
half. 



With the score tied at 45-45 
with 9:36 left in regulation, the 
Spartans went on a 10 to 2 run 
over the next three minutes to 
take a 55-47 lead. 

The Crusaders came back to 
even the score at 56-56 with 2:57 
left in the second half on a lay-up 
by Jim Dimond. Neither team 
scored the rest of the way and the 
game went to overtime after Jay 
Thatcher's 30-foot desperation 
shot at the buzzer was no good.

In the extra session, York 
scored the first four points and 
never trailed, as they went on to 
handSU a 65-61 loss. 

Freshman guard Jim Burke led 
the way for the Crusaders with 
16 points, including 3 three-point 
field goals. Dimond and center 
Bruce Merklinger each scored 1 3 
points, with Merklinger pulling 
down a game-high 16 rebounds. 

In the final game of the season, 
on Feb. 21, coach Donald J. 
Harnum's squad hosted their 
arch-rivals, the Royals from the 

University of Scranton, in a 
rematch of last year's MAC- 
Northern Division championship 
game. 

In the first half, the two teams 
battled back and forth with

Back once again for another 
week of SPORTS CORNER, and 
this week, I'm going to kill two 
birds with one stone by writing 
,my Susquehanna baseball team 
preview. Since 1 was going to be 
writing this anyhow and 1 didn't 
have a topic to discuss this week, 
I figured why not. 

This years baseball squad, 
under the direction of second- 
year coach Tony lerulli, returns 
fifteen players from last season's 
Middle Atlantic Conference 
(MAC)-NW division champion- 
ship team. 

Of the fifteen returnees, six are 
pitchers, and this is where lerulli 
sees the team's main strength to 
be. "The strength of this team 
will be our pitching staff, with six 
pitchers returning from last years 
successful 1986 squad.", stated 
the Crusader coach. "They must 
be effective early in the season to 
allow our young developing 
underclassmen to gain some ex- 
perience." 

Leading the way on the mound 
for the Orange and Maroon will 
be senior southpaw Glen Leary. 
Leary compiled a 3-3 record last 
season, including a shutout, with 
a 3.00 ERA, while completing 
five of his seven starts a year ago. 
He also led the club in strikeouts 
with 32. 

Pete Joachim, another senior, 
and Scott Krzykowski, the teams 
top relief pitcher in 1986, will be 
the two other starting pitchers 
lerulli will look for help from 
early in the year. 

Joachim, who will also see 
some playing time at third base 
when not on the mound, pitched 
six games last year, registering a 
2-1 mark with a 5.32 ERA. 

Krzykowski ended last year 
with a 2-2 record and a 4.36 
ERA. In the final regular season 
game of the season last year, the 
junior made his only start of the 
year and won the game that 
clinched the MAC NW title for 
the Crusaders. 



The closers out of the bullpen 
this year may be junior Bill Sofio, 
sophomore Kyle McKay or one 
of a group of talented freshmen. 

Sofio saw limited action on the 
hill last year, pitching only three 
innings, while McKay pitched in 
two ball games. Matt Guinan, 
Drew Paradine and Dave White 
are the freshmen who will con- 
tribute to the 1987 pitching staff. 

With the loss of seniors Bob 
Lytle, .436 batting average with 
nine homeruns and 31 RBI's, and 
Steve Walter, .299 batting 
average and six doubles, lerulli is 
moving two of his starters from a 
year ago to different positions. 

Senior Tom Smith makes the 
move from first base to left field 
where he will replace Walter. 
Smith hit .333 a season ago with 
a homerun to his credit, and 
came on strong and the end of 
the year after getting off to a slow 
start. Jim Hanlon, a junior 
moving from third base to short- 
stop, will be the stabilizing force 
of the infield. Last season he 
racked up a .313 batting average, 
with one homer and 20 RBI's. 

"The key to our success this 
year will be moving Hanlon and 
Smith to new positions, and 
allowing several untested players 
the opportunity to contribute to 
our program.", explained the sec- 
ond year coach. 

In the infield, Sofio and senior 
Tom Harrison will anchor the 
bag at first base. The second base 
job is up for grabs at this time ac- 
cording to lerulli, with Frank 
Forrer, Brian Forberg, Mike 
Haubner and Brett Crabtree 
battling to replace the graduated 
Mike Giles (.321 batting average). 

The left side of the infield will 
find Hanlon at shortstop and 
Joachim at third. When Joachim 
is on the mound, Guinan and 
Dave Pritchard, both freshmen, 
will be guarding the hot corner. 



take a 47-41 lead. J.P. Andrejko, 
who finished with a game-high 25 
points, led the Royals with six of 
the ten points during that stretch. 

The Crusaders pulled to within 
two at 49-47 with just under ten 
minutes remaining to play, but 
the Royals scored six of the next 
seven points to open up a seven 
point lead. 

Scranton then connected on 1 5 
of 17 foul shots over the final 
three and one-half minutes, in- 
cluding eight in a row by Eric 
Continued on p. 4 



Susquehanna will field a very 
speedy outfield led by first-team 
All-Conference centerfielder Jeff 
Cole. Cole was second in hitting 
on last year's squad with a .390 
average and broke the school 
record for On Base Percentage in 
a season with a .505 mark. The 
junior also led the team in walks 
(16) and stolen bases (20), while 
driving in 14 runs from his lead- 
off position. 

Cole will be flanked in leftfield 
by Smith and in rightfield Steve 
Nelson, who will also be called 
upon for some pitching, and Bill 
Mueller each will see playing 
time. 

Two sophomores return to 
handle the catching duties this 
season. Steve Haas, another first- 
team All-Conference player, fin 
ished last year with a .370 batting 
average. Dan Barker will be look 
ed to for this seasons power sup 
ply. 

This years team should be a 
good one and they have a chance 
to capture their third consecutive 
MAC-NW division champion- 
ship. They start their 34-game 
schedule on March 9th, when 
they play Washington College in 
Florida. Their first home contest 
will be a doubleheader against 
local rival Bucknell on March 
19th, starting at 1:00 p.m. 

Answef to last week's Trivia 
Question: The last four slam 
dunk champions area as follows; 
1987 Michael Jordan, 1986 
-Spud Webb, 1985 - Dominique 
Wilkins, and 1984 - Larry Nance. 

This week's Trivia Question: 
Which National League Eastern 
Division team last won back-to-

New Alcohol Policy Starts 



On Feb. 26 the Interfraternity 
Council, at Dean Anderson's re- 
quest, submitted a proposal to im- 
prove the security of their closed 
events. The goal of the proposal 
is to reduce the potential civil and 
criminal risks involved in spon- 
soring events that include 
alcoholic beverages. 

Fraternities are required to 
check SU Identification Cards at 
the door, admitting only those 
students on their guest list. In ad- 
dition, they are stamping the 
hand of those who are of legal 

drinking age. The stamp enables 
the fraternity to identify guests to 
whom they can legally serve or 
furnish alcoholic beverages. 
Student Life staff members 



and/or security officers will be 
spot-checking events to assist 
with implementation of the 
policy. If a fraternity is found in 
violation of the policy and know- 
ingly serves underage persons 
alcoholic beverages, both the 
group and the individuals in- 
volved will face University 
disciplinary action in addition to 
possible civil and/or criminal 
charges and penalties. 

A Fraternity Legal Liabilities 
Workshop is scheduled for Satur- 
day, March 28 in Seibert 
Auditorium from 10 a.m. to noon 
with attendance required by all 
new initiates, associate members, 
officers and interested members 
to inform individuals of the legal 
responsibilities and obligations in- 



volved in fraternity membership. 
The topics to be covered include 
alcohol and the new anti-hazing 
law passed in Pennsylvania. John 
Muncer, Esquire, Assistant 
District Attorney for Northum- 
berland County, will be the main 
speaker. 



It is important to note that any 
group or individual hosting an 
event at which alcohol is fur- 
nished is subject to the same 
criminal and civil liabilties as a 

fraternity. Anyone providing, 
furnishing, or serving alcoholic 
beverages to persons under the 
legal drinking age risks both 
University disciplinary action 
and criminal charges. 



Businesses Campaign for SUF 



Susquehanna Valley business 
leaders are joining forces to assist 
the Susquehanna University 
Fund's (SUF) Business and 
Industry campaign. 

The chairperson of the cam- 
paign's steering committee is 
Fred W. Kelly Jr., president and 
chief executive officer of Snyder 
County Trust Company, and a 
1966 Susquehanna graduate. 

"As a Susquehanna alumnus 
and an area business person, I am 
keenly aware of the University's 
presence in our communities," 
Kelly said. "Not only does it pro- 
vide employment to local citizens 
and a market for many area mer- 
chants and suppliers, it also 
serves the communities through 
its many educational, cultural 
and recreational offerings." 

In addition to the Business and 
Industry campaign, the SUF 
seeks the support of alumni, 
Parents of students, and friends 
°f the University to help Sus- 
Quehanna meet its current 
operating needs. 

This year's SUF goal is 
$725,000 and the goal of the 
Business and Industry campaign 



is $75,000. A special incentive of 
the campaign is the challenge of 
one area business to meet all new 
or increased gifts up to a total of 
$10,000. 

Chairperson Fred W. Kelly Jr., 
of Snyder County Trust Com- 
pany, told volunteers that 
$41,644 has been committed 
toward the $75,000 goal. Of that 
figure, Kelly said only $2,225 of 
its first $10,000 challenge must 
be solicited in order for the 
University to receive a $10,000 
matching gift from an area 
industry which has requested 
anonymity. 

After the kickoff meeting, Kel- 
ly received a second challenge 
from an area business to bring in 
an additional $10,000 in new 
monies by offering a $10,000 gift. 

Joining Kelly on the steering 
committee are: Frederick Bisbee, 
president and chief executive of- 
ficer of First National Trust 
Bank, Sunbury; Willard Bowen, 
vice-president and broker of 
Bowen Agency Inc., Selinsgrove, 
and a 1969 Susquehanna 
graduate; Karen Hackman, part- 
ner of Rudnitsky and Hackman, 



P.C., Selinsgrove, and a 1978 
Susquehanna graduate; Larry 
Isaacs, Selinsgrove, visiting pro- 
fessor of business practice at Sus- 
quehanna and former executive 
vice president of finance and 

member of the board of directors 
of Federated Department Stores 
Inc., and a 1943 Susquehanna 
graduate; and Norman Lauer, 
partner of Fisher, Clark, and 
Lauer, Selinsgrove, and a 1962 
Susquehanna graduate. 

Also, Edward Pfeiffer, presi- 
dent of Pfeiffer-Naginey In- 
surance Inc., Northumberland, 
and a 1950 Susquehanna 
graduate; Truman Purdy, presi- 
dent of Purdy Insurance Agency, 
Sunbury; Marvin Rudnitsky, 
partner of Rudnitsky and 

Hackman, P.C., Selinsgrove, and 
lecturer in management at Sus- 
quehanna; Robert Soper, presi- 
dent of Ott Packagings Inc., 
Selinsgrove; and Henry Truslow, 
president of Sunbury Textile 
Mills, Sunbury. 

The Business and Indusry cam- 
paign is expected to be completed 
in late April. 




Susquehanna alumni, soprano Sherry Sheaffer Breton and pianist 
Steven Gosewisch will present a recital March 21 at 8 p.m. in Seibert 
auditorium. 

Alumni Perform Recital 



A pair of 1976 Susquehanna 
University graduates return to 
their alma mater March 21 at 8 
p.m. for an alumni recital in 
Seibert Hall Auditorium. 

Lyric soprano Sherry Sheaffer 
Breton and pianist Steven 
Gosewisch will combine their 
talents while performing works 
by Scarlatti, Faure, Puccini, and 
Quilter. 



Breton, a native of New 
Cumberland, continued her

Editorials 



Reverend Thanked 



To Whom it may concern, 
During the last several 
weeks I have received 
three unsigned letters re- 
questing attention and/or a 
response to specific prob- 
lems. One concerned a 
residence hall situation, 



one a course complaint, 
and one a fraternity situa- 
tion. All three deserve at 
tention and/or response, 
but, with no signautre, I 
am unable to respond 
directly to the concerned 
student. 



PLEASE, PLEASE, 
PLEASE: call me or talk to 
me and identify yourself. 
Not to do so limits the 
possibilities for dealing ef- 
fectively with your con- 
cern. 

Sincerely 

Dean Anderson 



Our Corner 



The alcohol survey that ap- 
peared in the paper last issue 
revealed that there are quite 
varied opinions on the topic. Out 
of 15 responses (some were 
discarded because they were ob- 
viously not taking it seriously), 8 
believed that there is no alcohol 
problem and 7 believed there is 
one. All 15 respondants drank, 
most lightly to socially, with 2 
heavy drinkers. No one had ever 
sought help for a drinking 
problem, and all but the 2 heavy 
drinkers said that they would 
send someone for help if they felt 
that person had a problem. 

Only 3 people felt that the 
alcohol policies should be altered, 
and 1 suggested better enforce- 
ment of the current policy. The 
remainder felt no changes were 
necessary and several expressed 
the view that stricter policies 
would force people to go 
elsewhere to drink, causing more 
drinking and driving. 

This last point is one that 
always bothered me. We all know 
that drinking and driving is a 



dangerous thing. Why is it, 
though, that people seem to use it 
as a threat? Let me drink on 
campus or III go drink and drive 
and maybe something will hap- 
pen and then the school will real- 
ly be in trouble. There is a flaw in 
this logic. 

There is this underlying belief 
that it is a college students in- 
alienable right to consume 
alcohol, even if under age. The 
University may not infringe upon 
these rights or else it will be held 
responsible for the consequences. 
The student, however, is not re- 
quired to be responsible enough 
to know that he should not drive 
if he plans to drink. How con- 
venient. 

Look, if you're going to argue 
against a stricter alcohol policy, 
don't use irresponsibility as a 
defense. Use responsibility in- 
stead, as in, we are responsible 
enough to handle our alcohol in- 
take. We are willing to accept the 
consequences of our actions and 
we believe that we do not need 
the University to act as a parent. 
This is a much more effective 
argument.

We all know that students will 
drink at college, whether they are 
underage or not. As long as it is 
under control, it does not hurt 
anyone. This is where the respon- 
sibility comes into play. If people 
drink without losing control of 
themselves and becoming an em- 
barrassment for the school, the 
administration will keep a more 
passive policy. 

While we all want things to 
stay fairly loose, there still is the 
reality that often times people get 
out of hand. When they begin to 
disturb others with their 
drunkenness, then the relaxed 
policy should tighten up a little. 
Busting up dorms, fighting, and 
waking people up at 3 a.m. 
should not be tolerated. Having 
real disciplinary procedures for 
such offenses may help lessen 
their occurrence. Once again, the 
emphasis lies on responsibility. 

As part of the tightening of 
policies, it is clear that the frater- 
nities must come up with a solu- 
tion to the problem of serving 

minors, because the organization 
can get into all kinds of legal 
trouble. They have begun to 
tighten up the security at closed 
events by requiring SU ID, hav- 
ing a guest list, and marking the 
hands of those who are 21 or 
older. In the future, special IDs 
for those over 21 are being con- 
sidered. This should help ' to 
reduce the fraternities' difficulties 
with liability. 

Overall, I believe that the 
University should look into some 
clarification of its policy, rather 
than changing it. If the ad- 
ministration would enforce the 
current policy and be serious 
about sticking to it, the problems 
would subside. 

On the students side, attempts 
to find something to do that 
doesn't require alcohol should be 
made. People who claim that 
there is nothing else to do aren't 
looking and are using that claim 
as an excuse. 

With a group effort, no sweep- 
ing changes will be necessary. As 
a doctor or mechanic would say, 
treating something small before it 
becomes something big makes 
good sense and saves trouble in 
the long run. The treatment pro- 
cess has begun, and with any 
serious effort, it will be suc- 
cessful. 

Editor 



Dear Chris, 

I want to thank you for your 
letter concerning the cleanliness 
of the dorms, in particular, the 
bathrooms in the dorms on our 
campus. Please forgive my pun 
when I tell you that your interest 
in this matter was inspirational. 
As faculty and staff of a univer- 
sity we are teaching and learning 
to be effective in the wide world. 

That means that we have one eye 
on the macrocosm and the other 
on the microcosm at all 
times— for everything that we do 
here will have an impact on the 
world. I agree with you that there 
is a clear and direct link between 
dirty bathrooms in our dorms and 
world wide environmental pollu- 
tion. Bathrooms are as much a 
part of our environment as the 
Susquehanna River and the 
ozone layer. We owe it to 
ourselves to see that our environ- 
ment right here and now is a 
model of beauty and order, 
because we think better in order, 
and because we feel better in 
beauty. 

As to how we should achieve 
beauty and order on our campus, 
I would like to share with you 
two experiences through which 
friends of mine had a profound 
impact on me. My friend 
Elizabeth went to pick up her 
shoes at the cobbler's one day, 
and found the clerk rendered 
disfunctional due to sheer clutter 

Elizabeth took her coat off, 
pulled all the shoes off the 
shelves, dusted, matched the 
shoes, and replaced them neatly. 
It took twenty minutes. She 
found her shoes in the process, 
paid for the services, and wished 
the clerk a pleasant day. My 
friend Harvey travels extensively 
in the first and third worlds, and 
found himself constantly an- 



noyed by the condition of the 
bathrooms on long intercontinen 
tal flights. One day he simply 
locked the door to the bathroom, 
rolled up his sleeves, picked up all 
the papers, scrubbed the entire 
cabinet from top to bottom, used 
the bathroom, and left it spotless 
for the remaining passengers. 
These seemingly small acts are 
examples of world leadership). 

Both of these friends were able 
to act in this fashion because they 
took a conscious direction in their 
respective situations. The 
direction is this: FROM THIS 
DAY FORWARD I AM IN 
CHARGE OF ABSOLUTELY 
EVERYTHING. I suggest that 
we do the same. I do not pretend 
that this direction is a reflection 
of reality. I do not want anyone 

to feel that I place the burdens of 
the world on faculty, students, 
and staff at Susquehanna. 
Rather, the direction is intended 
to contradict a tendency in our 
society not to think and not to act 
on our best thinking. Hanging on 
to a direction can open our minds 
to all sorts of new possibilities 
and new ways to effect other peo- 
ple's behavior. 

I challenge those students in 
the dorms who feel that they 
must endure the sloppiness and 
apathy of others to this direction: 
FROM THIS DAY FORWARD 
I AM IN CHARGE OF AB 
SOLUTELY EVERYTHING, 
INCLUDING THE MESSY 
BATHROOMS ON THIS CAM 
PUS. I strongly suspect that 
modeling this behavior will 
change the appearance of the 
bathrooms dramatically. Call it 
an experiment, call me an op- 
timist. In either case, I challenge 
you, and I take the challenge 
myself. 

Thanks, Chris,

SU's Racquet Club 



Dear Editor, 

Recently it has come to our at- 
tention of the incredible waste of 
the Brookside Racquet Club on 
11/15. As members of the Crew 
Club, we have been working on 
our sculls in one of the rooms in 
the club. We wonder why this 
facility, which is owned by the 
University, is not open to our stu- 
dent body. If you have never 
been to the Racquet Club, there 

are three racquetball courts, three 
indoor and three outdoor tennis 
courts and an all-purpose room 
which could be used for aerobics. 
So why is this building just sitting 
there and basically rotting away? 
We have heard that the Universi- 
ty was talking about moving the 
building near campus, which we 
see as a waste being that the drive 
is only five minutes away and the 
moving fee would just be another 



expense for the school. If the 
problem is finding people to run 
it, I'm sure they could find five or 
six students on work study to 
keep the club going. We think 
students would be more en- 
thusiastic about working in the 
club than working in the library. 
Besides the weightroom and the 
all-purpose room, there are no 
other recreational facilities 
opened to the students. For 
$1 1,800 a year, we don't think a 
racquet club is to much to ask 
for. The only work the building 
needs is a little cleaning up and 
some heat. (No major renova- 
tions.) If there are other factors 
holding back the open use of this 
club to the students, please let us 
know. We see it as a great facility 
going to waste! 

Thank you 
—Lisa Tarleton & 
Meg Bayliss

Spring Break in Puerto Rico 



One of the joy's of Spring Break 
is the stepping out of one's daily 
routine for a few days and of 
course, getting a well -deserved 
rest in the sun! A new alternative 
to the Florida trips so many col- 
lege students take is offered by 
Spanish instructor Mrs. Carolyn 
G. Fischer of Susquehanna 
University: a week long "cultural 
immersion experience" in Puerto 
Rico. 

Along with the Fischer family, 
three students from Susquehanna 
were part of the group; Cindy 
Cook, Jill Matrange and David 
Kearney. The trip was a tremen- 
dous success and included many 
varieties of activities to help 
realize the goals set by Mrs. 



Fischer. She says, "I want the 
students to have an opportunity 
to speak Spanish in a real setting, 
to learn first-hand about the 
Spanish influences in Puerto Rico 
and to live and experience the 
Latin way of life. It is so im- 
portant for the students to hear 
the Puerto Rican music, see the 
dances, speak Spanish with 
native speakers as they tour the 
historic sites, to learn about the 
economy by first hand contacts 
with the business community and 
to become 'Latin' for a week." 

Some of the activities that were 
included in the trip: a walking 
tour of Old San Juan and El 
Morro, the fort, discussing the 
history of the island, a tour of the 



Bacardi Rum factory and learn- 
ing about the manufacturing pro- 
cesses, a tour of La Universidad 
del Sagrado Corazon talking with 
students and professors about the 
differences in the educational 
system, a visit and talk with some 
of the officials from El Banco 
Popular discussing the economy 
and job opportunities in Puerto 
Rico and opening the possibility 
of some internships, a luncheon 
with the San Juan Rotary Club, a 
trip to the fishing port of Fajardo 
and an all-day snorkeling trip to 
some of the out-islands, a day trip 
to Ponce, the second largest city 
in Puerto Rico, a day trip to Saint 
Thomas to see the British and 
Dutch influence in contrast with

then that's fine. I write this 
column to be informative and 
entertaining, not to point fingers. 
But (and I would write this in let- 
ters of fire nine feet high, if I 
could): it is not my duty to pat 
anyone's shoulder. Such pander- 
ing is dishonest, cheating the 
reader and cheapening me. An at- 
tack on someone's favorite movie 
is not an attack on them. 

I do not write this column to 
assault anyone's self-image. Is it 
really plausible that I'd call some- 
one dirt whether or not they liked 
PLATOON? I think that this is 
an assumption people make 
rather than a manifestation of 
how things are. This is a case of 
people reading false notions into 



the printed word. This is reverse- 
propaganda. My responsibility 
ends with the final edit, by which 
time I've eradicated all phrases 
which I think insult the reader 
personally. But it is not my duty 
to tell the reader not to take a 
review personally. Neither is it 
my duty to write what readers 
want to read. It is my duty to be 
honest— fair, but honest. That is 
why I said I liked PLATOON 
despite its haughty overtones. As 



for my reasoning and the way I 
distilled what I thought the 
movie meant: check with Pauline 
Kael and Andrew Sarris. It just 
so happens, we agreed.

KAPPA DELTA 

Greetings from 309 University 
Ave. Did everyone enjoy their 
marvelous break? Love those tan 
people on campus.. .Speaking of 
tans, a few of the KD sisters and 
Lambda Chi Alpha brothers ex- 
perienced Lifestyles of the Rich 
and Famous during their Spring 
Break in Florida. Among the 
lucky are KD sisters: Gail 
"GGH" Friars, Assunta "Aunt 
Jemima" Cannone, Anne "Pass 
the 6, 15, 4, and 2 Lotion" 
Molloy, Elizabeth "I don't like to 
do dishes" Molloy and their 
friend Adrienne "I can't believe 
I'm getting up this early" King. 
Lambda Brothers included: Dean 
"Let's do mutta humpin shots" 
Vellis, and Steve "111 drive home" 
Ajello. It's hard to face the Grove 
after Mai Tai afternoons and 
cruising down the Intercostal on 
a 50 ft. yacht and docking at ex- 
otic clubs in West Palm Beach. I 
hope the fish enjoy their picture.

They'd like to thank Dean, Steve 
and their friends for a great time. 
Sisters Nina "Lavender 18" 
Maroon and Jacquie "Dancin' 
Machine" Sorge also lounged out 
in Fla. Sister Lisa Tarleton, 
where were you?? 

Well, we're back and it's time 
to hit the books after checking 
out those midterm grades.. .1 
guess we can wait though until 
Sunday (Don't we always!). I'd 
just like to say I hate Stats... I 
know the feeling exists elsewhere. 
Hopefully everyone did as well as 
they expected and even better on 
their midterms. Now let's just 
forget about them. 

Happy St. Patricks Day (even 
though it was Tues.) to everyone! 
Gotta love it! KD celebrated the 
evening with the Brothers of 
Lambda Chi Alpha and would 
like to thank them for yet 
another smashing time. They all 
seemed to enjoy NYC. Only a 
few arrests. Tonight holds in 
store a Tropical Bash with the 
brothers of Phi Mu Delta. It's 
been a while guys and we're all 
looking forward to it.. .we can 
pretend we're in Fla. or maybe 
Hawaii.. .grass skirts and all. See 
you tonight guys! 

I'd like to ask who the culprit 
is?? Fess up. Ah well, I don't 
know. Girls, you know what's 
coming up, don't you... have the 
lists been written?? Get cracking! 
Ah yes another slight dilemma. 
Oh well, in the end we know well 
have tons of fun anyway! So get 
psyched! 

I guess that's about all, since 
we really only just got back. Take 
care. ..Enjoy life. ..Try not to 
think about it to much.. .Be hap- 
py! 

Love in AOT 
and from my heart, 
P. La Belle 
P.S. Our KD Shamrock Project is 
Sat. the 27th. KD will be hanging 
out at the mall all day collecting 
money to prevent child abuse... if 
you're hanging out there too on 
Sat. donate your change to help 
the kids.. .they need it. Thanks! 

ZETA TAU ALPHA 

Welcome back, all you spring 
breakers-those of you who were 
fortunate enough to be "baskers- 
in-the-sun." I, unfortunately, was 
not on the "get-out-of-town" 



vacation schedule. My week was 
full of early-morning Chinese 
firedrills, traffic-happy drivers on 
their way to work, and long days 
of typing satisfactions at Chase 
Home Mortgage Corporation. 
But all in all, it was great to be 
home, spend some time with the 
folks, and see my puppy, Ginger 
Ale Marie. 

To recap on those days of old, 
before everyone anxiously rode 
off into the sunset, the Zetas 
were busy' wrapping up the 
business at hand. We were at- 
tending classes, studying for mid- 
terms (to keep those GPAs the 
highest on campus) and holding 
meetings to get ourselves or- 
ganized for the last seven weeks 
of classes and campus life. We 
had so many fun-filled activities 
to plan. To start things off, a big 
round of applause please for the 
hospitality of Sigma Phi Epsilon 
who held a lock-in with ZTA on 
February 27. It was fun for all! 
What do you think, Pledge Diane 
Rogers, did you have unfor- 
gettable fun? I heard she had so 
much fun she didn't want to 
leave. A personal "thank you" 
goes to Sister Beth Noble for her 
much-needed help that night. 
Also, a bigger round of applause 
please, for Sister Melanie Raffa. 
The Zetas were very proud that 
Melanie joined the party. "Mel, I 
guess there's a first time for 
everything!" By the way, did 
everyone see Sister Deb Kopf 
breakdancing ... on her back? 
Speaking of breakdancing, is that 
the official Zeta Pledge early- 
morning exercise before breakfast 
at 6:00 a.m. A special "thank 
you" goes to Sister Meg Farmer; 
if it wasn't for her, we would 
have eaten without Sisters 
Melanie Raffa and Jean Ann 
Swann. Thanks for the wake-up 
call, Meg! 

Has anyone caught a glimpse 
of Sister Jen Berman's, Sister 
Kathy Kloss' and Pledge Patty 
Kloss' new roommate? It doesn't 
know its name or what "shush" 
means. 

Some Zeta Tau Alphas had ex- 
tensive travel plans this spring 
break. Sister Melanie Raffa and 
Pledge Patty Kloss combed New 
York City. "Mel, do you need a 
new pair of shoes, or a new pair 




of feet?" Sister Val Hansen and 
Sister Kat Heller planned a 
weekend getaway to Rutgers 
University. "How were the men, 
girls?" To escape from it all, Sister 
Jean Ann Swann road tripped to 
Bethesda, Maryland to see some 
old friends and to reminisce. 
Sister Karen Hagstrom flew to 
Florida to visit her beloved 
grandparents and has suffered 
the consequences of losing her 
luggage. And Sister Bonnie Herb 
didn't have to travel too far to get 
into trouble. "Ten minutes sure 
makes a lot of difference in the 
result of one's life, huh 
Bon-Bon?" I hope everyone is all 
rested up and ready to study, 
study, study! 

In Zeta love, M. G. 
P.S. "How about those Mets?", 
Sisters Anita Kloiber and Kathy 
Kloss. 

LAMBDA CHI ALPHA 
Welcome back everyone, 

We hope everybody had as 
good a break as those who were 
fortunate enough to be in 
Daytona. Good times were had 
by all. A special thanks to 
Shawna from the Greek gods 
Zeus, Apollo, and Hermes for her 
outstanding sportsmanship. Tim 
"Mint" Fitzgerald is arranging a 
road trip to Canada as part of a 
13th grade exchange session. 
Club 122 will be opening soon, it 
is the hottest FREE night club in 
Daytona. A regretful good-bye 
goes out to Damian Caracciolo 
who will be transferring to 
Central Michigan University 
where he plans to continue his 
study on group therapy with 
special assistance by the girls of 
Zeta sorority. We are proud to 
announce that the Tennessee 
girls have become a part of the 
Prudential family by capturing a 
piece of the ROCK. We are also 
very proud to announce that Karl 
"the Bing Bingoin Bingo" Gordi 
nier was first runner up in the girl 
snatching competition; second 
only to the Penrod's bouncer. 
Stretch Armstrong made his first 
Florida appearance at Club 122. 
He will be touring Central Penn- 
sylvania in the near future 
assisted by his trainer Richard 
"Dickie" Lynch. Steve Marino 
will be taking a leave of absence 
to do his internship at Sea World 
working with whales. 

Further down the road, Lotti 
John Lotti won the first annual 
Girl Drag cdmpetition. He and 
his partner made an outstanding 
performance. Regrets go out to 
Pete Stoma for being -the only 
person who had to go to Daytona 
to get a stomach virus. In addi- 
tion we are happy to announce 
that Pete, Mark, John, Jeff, and 
Chris 2 have all landed summer 
jobs being baking soda testers. 
Good luck fellas! Lambda is 
proud to announce a spring con- 
cert where JulBet will be perform- 
ing in our amphitheatre. Damian

would like to spend a lot of 
money to be out of the hot spots. 
In addition, Piedmont Airlines is 
offering a five-stop flight to 
Daytona next year if anyone is 
interested. J. Pav will also handle 
those arrangements.

Florida tournament. 

THETA CHI 

Hello S.U. Welcome back from 
a fast but relaxing Spring Break. 
I'm sure that you're finding it 
tough to get back into the school 
work when your minds are still 
on vacation. Look at the bright 
side, there are only seven weeks 
left. I know the seniors will be 
hard at work for this last stretch. 
The question is, what will they be 
working on? 

Many brothers returned to 
campus exhibiting their suntans, 
or should I say sunburns, and 
telling the typical stories of life in 
paradise. Brother Brady became 
crazy from the heat and decided 
to create his own version of 
snorkeling. We are considering 
on whether to enter it in the 
Greek Week games. Brothers 
Shep and Homestead also had 
their share of the ultraviolets and 
thought they were a couple of 
Chippendales on the beaches of 
Jamaica. I guess this is standard 
behavior of the natives. 

A handful of brothers figured 



they would outwit the competi- 
tion; while every other college 
male went to Ft. Lauderdale, 
these guys slipped away to Clear- 
water where the girl-to-guy ratio 
is 4 to 1. That's what I like, a 
brother that is always one step 
ahead. The dynamic duo of 
Lucas and Hampsher captured 
the Stud Spud award over break. 
How old were they? 

And yes, of course, I could not 
forget about the rest of us. You 
know who we are, the ones that 
are still walking around campus 
with our pasty white skin. Well, 
the summer is coming and I have 
a seat waiting for me on a jet that 
is heading to the Bahamas, so it's 
not a total loss. 

A number of Spuds are taking 
the clubs out of the closet and 
getting ready to hit the courses 
hard. I've been informed that the 
pledges can't wait to do some 
preseason caddying. 

It seems that June was a busy 
month for a good percentage of 
our parents a few years back, 
because there are a few B-days to 
announce. Belated wishes go out 
to Bill Mueller for opening the 
month, followed by Chris 
Boehm, Tom "House Mangier" 
Stone, Aric Wilson, Rose Havice, 
Tom Daub, Yours Truly, the 
now official Social chairman 
Nick Walser, and wrapping up 
the month - Dean Turner can be 
seen at the Dead Show on his 
B-day, I can't think of a better 
way to "spend" it. 

Until next time,

NOTES FROM ABOVE 



Men and Women of Sus- 
quehanna: 

How was the Spring Break? I 
hope you have returned to cam- 
pus rested, healthy, and excited 
about pursuing with enthusiasm 
all the good opportunities which 
the coming weeks will present to 
you. 

In addition to what is happen- 
ing here on campus let me invite 
you to expand your horizons a bit 
and think about two issues which 
embrace our nation and the 
world family as a whole: Namibia 
and nonviolence. 

Dr. Bradford is leading a group 
of us to conference at Gustavus 
Adolphus College in Minnesota 
to become more familiar with the 
situation in Namibia, a nation in 
southwest Africa which is being 
oppressed by the army of the 
Union of South Africa. Namibia 
has a large Lutheran, Roman 



Catholic, and Anglican popula- 
tion and these three communities 
of faith are seeking active means 
to be advocates for the people of 
Namibia in the Fall of 1987 and 
the conference is an effort to 
make sure that a group of 
students and faculty on each of 
the Lutheran college campuses 
around the country are sensitive 
to the special needs of the 
students coming from Namibia. I 
encourage you to take a look at 
the newspapers and do some 
reading about the situation in 
Namibia as well. 

Nonviolence is the second 
issue we need to keep before us. 
The Religion Department has in- 
vited Colman McCarthy to come 
and visit our campus on Friday, 
March 27 to challenge us in our 
efforts at being peacemakers. Mr. 
McCarthy is a former Roman 
Catholic priest who is presently a 



writer for the Washington Post. 
He is an outspoken and pro- 
vocative speaker and writer. He is 
the kind of person you really 
should meet as part of your col- 
lege experience. He will be speak- 
ing in the Seibert auditorium on 
Friday, March 27, 1987 at 7:30 
p.m. We each need to be more 
sensitive to and better skilled at 
the ways of nonviolence whether 
we are trying to cope with people 
in our residence hall or citizens of 
other nations whose ideology is 
not the same as our own. 

Namibia and nonviolence— 
keep some room in your heart 
and mind for these two items 
along with all the other people, 
places, and things which fill your 
life. 
For the greater glory of God,

Merk is MAC All-Star 



Netmen Set to Defend 



SU men's basketball center 
Bruce Merk linger has been 
selected to the Middle Atlantic 
Conference (MAC)-Northern 
Division All-Star second team. 

Merklinger, a 6-foot-6 senior, 
topped the 1986-87 Crusaders in 
scoring, averaging 16.96 points 
per game, and in rebounding, 
pulling down 11.5 boards per 
contest. He also led the team in 
blocked shots with 37, finished 
third in assists with 30, and 
fourth in steals with 19. 

"Bruce has been a stalwart at 
Susquehanna for four years," said 
Susquehanna head coach Donald 
J. Harnum. "I feel he is one of the 
top three players in theHivision 
and the main reason we have en- 
joyed two national playoff ap- 
pearances." 

The 1986-87 Crusader captain 
concluded his career with 1350 



points and 884 rebounds to finish 
in Susquehanna's top ten in both 
categories. He posted single-game 
highs of 31 points at Fairleigh 
Dickinson University-Madison 
Jan. 28, and 21 rebounds at home 
versus Albright College Jan. 24. 
The latter mark is a new record 
for Susquehanna's O.W. Houts 
Gymnasium. 

Merklinger was also selected to 
the MAC-North second team last 
season when Susquehanna cap- 
tured its first^ver divisional title. 
He then proceeded to earn the 
Most Outstanding Player award 
at the National Collegiate 
Athletic Association (NCAA) 
Division III Middle Atlantic 
Regional by scoring 36 points 
and grabbing 1 9 rebounds as the 
Crusaders defeated Washington 
(Md.) and Franklin and Marshall 
colleges for the regional cham- 
pionship. The 1985-86 Crusaders 



finished 22-8, the best season in 
the school's history. 

Merklinger was a Susquehanna 
freshman when the Orange and 
Maroon cagers made their initial 
appearance in the Division III na- 
tional tournament, losing to 
Montclair State (N.J.) College in 
the Middle Atlantic Regional title 
contest. 

Merklinger shares the Division 
III record for field-goal per- 
centage in a game after hitting all 
13 of his attempts from the floor 
in a game at Drew (N.J.) Univer- 
sity January 22, 1986. Reinout 
Brugman of Muhlenberg College 
was 12 of 12 from the field 
against Moravian College in a 
1985 outing. 

Susquehanna completed the 
1986-87 season with an overall 
mark of 10-15, snapping a streak 
of six consecutive winning cam- 
paigns.

Yesterday at 4 p.m., the men's 
varsity tennis team opened its 
1987 season against a tough 
Bucknell squad. The Crusaders 
come into the season having four 
of the six starters from last year's 
lineup, but are optimistic with six 
returning lettermen and six 
talented Freshmen. 

Lead by coach Gary Finke, the 
MAC champions are looking for 
their fourth title in as many 
years. Finke noted that this year's 
squad could not offer one 
outstanding individual, but the 
team as a whole shows great 
depth. 

Returning players include Pat 



Sterrett, Matt Fagar, Tom War 
ren, Nick Walsar, Paul Sultan, 
and Dave Cooley. Freshmen on 
the squad are John Nickey, Scott 
Swinarton, Chris Bicklle, 
Graham D'Alvia, Gregg Han- 
gers, and Pete Comber. 

The team's first challenge to 
their MAC title comes from 
Dickinson. Last year the Sus 
quehanna netmen lost a tough 
5-4 decision to the Red Devils, 
and would like nothing more 
than revenge in 1987. This match 
is on Tuesday, March 24 at 3 
p.m. We encourage everyone to 
help support the tennis team this 
year. See you on the courts!

he also struck out five. 

After a sacrifice fly by Cole 
gave SU a 1-0 lead after two 
innings, the Crusader nine scored 
three more times in the bottom of 
the fifth to put the game away. 

With one out, Paradine and 
Hanlon, who went two for two, 
connected for back-to-back 
doubles to score one run. An er- 
ror on the shortstop on a Barker 
grounder scored Hanlon, and 
pinch-runner Forrer came 
around to score on one of two 
hits of the day by Guinan. 

The second game saw Sus- 
quehanna get another fine 
pitching performance, this by 
Krzykowski in the 10-1 win. The 
junior righthander limited 
Millersville to an unearned run 
on six hits, while fanning six bat- 
ters and not allowing a walk. 

The game was scoreless into 
the top of the fourth inning, 
when SU scored seven times. 
Sofio started the inning with a 
single and was sacrificed to sec- 
ond by Guinan. Brett Crabtree 
then connected for a single, scor- 
ing Sofio, and the Crusaders had 
the lead. 

Tom Harrison walked, and 
both runners moved up a base on 
an infield out. Paradine then 
walked to load the bases and 
Hanlon came through with a

"Reelin"' Rebuked 



Friday, March 20, .1 987-TH E CRUSADER-Page 7 



I would like to reply to Eric 
Diesel's review of the movie 
PLATOON in "Reelin"' last 
week. Mr. Diesel gave, in my 
opinion, an inadequate review of 
what many consider to be one of 
the most important movies in 
several years. 

Diesel's main complaint con- 
cerning the movie was that he 
was unsure of what Oliver Stone 
(the director) was trying to say or 
do through the movie. What he 
fails to realize is that PLATOON 
is the type of movie that says a lot 
of different things to a lot of 
different people. The Vietnam 
War was a tremendous social 
trauma for American society. 
Millions of men fought and died 
there. Millions of people lost 
husbands, fathers, brothers, and * 
friends. Also, millions protested 
the war and had their faith in 
their government and society 
shaken. Yet for nearly a decade 
after American troops pulled out, 
the mass media and society itself 
repressed their feelings and con- 
cerns about the war. For a 
number of years, society at large 
tried to pretend the whole thing 
never happened. Also, there has 
been a general lack of under- 
standing and misinformation 
concerning both Vietnam 
veterans and the events of the 
war itself. 

I have studied the Vietnam 
War in some detail, and have had 
several close friends who served 
there. I walked out of PLA- 
TOON with a lot of thinking to 
do. I came to the conclusion that 
the movie says two different 
things to two different segments 
of people. To those who fought 
there, and those who are familiar 
with the war, the movie provides 
an opportunity to live and relive 
the Vietnam experience in part. 
These people are caused to 
wrestle with profound personal 
questions of the meaning of war 
and the value of peace. Indeed, 
many Vietnam vetearhs have 
reported (in magazines, news 
shows, etc.) that viewing the 
movie has had the therapeutic ef- 
fect of helping them to relive and 
get in touch with long-buried 
emotions that must be dealt with 
in order to put their peacetime 
lives in perspective.

But for those who are not 
familiar with the realities of the 
Vietnam War, and those who 
have not felt the need to under 
stand the reasons why the war 
was such a traumatic event in 
American history, the movie 
might not have such deep 
significance. Indeed, the movie 
may actually do a disservice to 
such people because, although it 
is painfully authentic, PLA- 
TOON only represents the ex- 
periences of one segment of the 
people who were in Vietnam. 
Those people may not know "the 
rest of the story" that intra- 
platoon violence, fratricide, 
atrocities, and terrorization of 

Rebuttle 

Thank you for your letter. You 
speak for a lot of people by offer- 
ing a treatise on PLATOON'S 
social significance. However, you 
don't speak for me. I saw this film 
as a film critic, not a sociologist, 
and it is as a critic that I reacted 

to it. What I did or did not "ap- 
preciate" about PLATOON was 
nothing that needed to be in- 
cluded in my column. My con- 
cerns as a critic do not include a 
film's impact on society, unless I 
drag the arena of film history into 



civilians were largely atypical of 
the Vietnam experience of many 
combat veterans, although these 
things did occur and were highly 
publicized. People who don't 
know that may experience the 
confusion described by Mr. 
Diesel upon viewing PLATOON. 
In my view, PLATOON is a 
highly significant manifestation 
of an American societal problem. 
Every American should see it, 
especially those whose knowledge 
of Vietnam is limited to movies 
like DELTA FORCE, MISSING 
IN ACTION, or RAMBO. 

Cordially, 
—Jeff Ulmer 




Reelin ' 



my review. I made a point of 
reacting to PLATOON as art, 
not event: that is my job. Your 
points may be valid from your 
side of the fence but are inap- 
plicable to mine. Film criticism is 
a different kind of writing than 
you seem to think it should be, so 
I suggest that you discover what 
criticism is and isn't before you 
decide to tell me how to do my 
job. I'm the first to admit that 
film critics aren't everyone's cup 
of tea— but neither are 
sociologists. 



-Eric Diesel 



REELIN': WAR IS HECK 

The dust hasn't even settled as 
I write this column, in response 
to the response to last week's 
column. The furor over my 
review of PLATOON has grown 
from cute and mildly flattering to 
sheer obdurate childishness. For 
some reason, the rumor is cir- 
culating that I not only hated 
PLATOON, but am starting a 
movement to have Oliver Stone 
crucified. Yet on page 4 of last 
week's CRUSADER, in the sixth 
line of print under my column 
name, I state not only that I like 
the movie but that I was glad I 
saw it. Is this the reaction of a 
man who is theoretically nailing 
together Oliver Stone's coffin? 

Let us continue. The next 
phrase that has set the dogs to 
yelping is "hindsight is 20/20 
vision." As I explain in the 
review, this phrase means that 
PLATOON offers no new revela- 
tions. Is it really news that the 
Vietnam war was dumb and 
senseless and tragic? As I also 
state in the review, PLATOON'S 
strength is its honesty. Its 
"perception" - that war is 
heck— is hardly an original 
thought told in an original way. 



People are also up-in-arms 
about this sentence: "Stone con- 
stantly tries to convince the 
viewer that something more is be- 
ing said." Allow me to translate: 
Stone tries to tell his story like he 
was directing an art film. But the 
film he's directing is not an art 
film no matter how hard it tries. 
PLATOON is realism mas- 
querading as revenge-fantasy to 
cloak hollowness. Taken as the 
realistic wonder that it is, PLA- 
TOON is an exceptional movie 
deserving of that Oscar it will 

probably get. But Stone cannot 
resist trying to add smart little 
fillips and taps to convince the 
reader that PLATOON is 
something more. Such ginger- 
bread is the sign of amateurish 
movie-making. 

But I suspect that all the 
ballyhooing is only a 
smokescreen for the real issue, 
which is that people think that 
when I'm not as impressed with a 
film as they are, that they are 
somehow reduced as people. 
When seen in print, this theory is 
exposed as the hogwash that it is. 
My opinion is only my own, and 
if someone likes a movie I hated,

Crusaders Win 4 Down South 



The Susquehanna University 
baseball team started the season 
by winning four of seven games 
on their recent Florida road trip. 
Coach Tony Ierulli's squad 
battled back from an 0-2 start to 
win four of their next five con- 
tests. 

The SU pitching staff led the 
way in the first three outings, as 
starters Glen Leary, Scott 
Krzykowski and Pete Joachim 
pitched fine games to keep the 
Orange and Maroon close. 

In their opener against 
Washington (MD) College, the 
Crusader bats were held to three 
hits in a 4-0 defeat. The 
Shoremen got all the runs they 
would need off of losing pitcher 
Leary in the second inning, as 
Dave Puskar doubled home Joe 
McAleer for the first run of the 
game. Washington added two 
more runs in the fourth and one 
in the seventh to post the shutout 
win. 

Winning pitcher Bud Becker 
and reliever Chris Long combine 
for the three-hit shutout, allow- 
ing singles to Drew Paradine, Jim 
Hanlon and Jeff Cole. Leary 
allowed seven hits and three runs 
over his five innings of work, 
before yielding to Matt Guinan 
in the sixth inning. 

Game two wasn't much better 
for Susquehanna, as they 
dropped a 10-3 decision to Divi- 
sion II Shippensburg. Krzy- 
kowski suffered the loss, allowing 
five runs, two earned, on five hits 
and struck out three in five 
innings. 

The Orange and Maroon's bats 
had still yet to arrive in Florida, 
as they managed only two hits, 
singles by Dan Barker and Frank 
Forrer, but were able to score 
thre^ runs in the final inning on 



five walks and a hit batsman. 

The following morning things 
turned around for coach Ierulli 
and his club, as they pounded out 
nine hits to back the two-hit 
pitching of Joachim in a 8-0 win 
over Anderson College. 

SU got on the board early as 
they plated a run in the bottom of 
the first inning. Cole started the 
inning with a single and ad- 
vanced to second on a hit by 
catcher Steve Haas. Both runners 
moved up one base when Jim 
Hanlon reached on an error to 
load the bases with none out. 
Barker then drew a walk to score 
Cole and Susquehanna led 1-0. 

The Crusaders jumped on 
losing pitcher Trent Swoverland 
for four runs in the second to 
take a commanding 5-0 lead. 

With one out, Paradine singled 
and moved around to third on a 
double by Cole. Haas then ex- 
ecuted a perfect suicide squeeze 
bunt to score Paradine, and when 
the third baseman overthrew 
first, Cole trotted home with 
another run. 

Hanlon followed with a single 
to move pinch-runner Bill 
Mueller to second. Mueller then 
stole third and scored on a wild 
throw from the catcher. Barker 
then ripped a single, scoring 
Hanlon, and SU held a com- 
fortable 5-0 advantage. 

Susquehanna scored single 
runs in the third and fifth innings 
on an RBI fielders choice by 
Hanlon and a run scoring single 
by Haas. 

Meanwhile, Joachim was 
throwing a masterpiece, allowing 
only two hits, both in the fifth 
inning, and striking out two in 
finishing the complete game 
shutout.

early 2-0 lead, the Crusaders 
answered back in the bottom of 
the first with four runs to take a 
4-2 lead. 

Cole and Haas scored the first 
runs when the second baseman 
dropped a Tom Smith fly ball 
with two outs in the inning. After 
Bill Sofio walked, Guinan drilled 
a triple to right centerfield to 
score Smith and Sofio.

SPORTS CORNER 




Back from a couple of weeks 
off, and we find ourself in the 
middle of the NCAA men's bas- 
ketball tournament with only six- 
teen teams left going into yester- 
day, and only 20 days until the 
opening of the major league 
baseball season. 

This week I'm going to discuss 
the decision of the tournament 
directors to leave defending na- 
tional champion Louisville out of 
the 64-team field, before ending 
with some interesting baseball 
facts. 

When Louisville lost to Mem- 
phis State in the final game of the 
Metro Conference tournament, 
the automatic bid for a trip to the 
NCAA tournament was for- 
feited, because Memphis State 
was on probation and ineligible to 
participate for the national cham- 
pionship. 

Many people, including Cardi- 
nal coach Denny Crum, felt that 
despite the loss to Memphis State 
and an unimpressive 18-14 
record, the defending champions 
would still receive an at-Iarge bid. 
However, when the pairings 
for the tournament were released, 
Louisville was nowhere to be 
found, but teams such as 
Bucknell, Fairfield and Austin 
Peay were getting set to play in 
the tourney. 

Sure, Louisville is a much bet- 
ter team than any of the three 
mentioned above, but those 
teams did one thing that the 
Cardinals didn't; win their con- 
ference tournaments. 

However, an argument can be 
made that Louisville should have 
been able to defend their national 
championship in the tournament, 



and should have received a bid 
over other at-large teams such as 
LSU (21-14), Kentucky (18-10), 
and Middle Tennessee State 
(22-6). 

With Memphis State not going 
to the tournament even though 
they won the conference, the 
Metro was without a team in the 
field of 64. Crum and others 
believe that the NCAA was 
punishing the conference for 
allowing the Tigers to play in the 
post-season tournament, even 
though they were on probation. 

I can see the point that Crum 
and the Louisville supporters are 
trying to make for their team's 
right to be in the tournament, but 
these people must realize that it 
was the judgment of the selection 
committee who should and 
shouldn't go. Sure, they played 
perhaps the toughest schedule in 
the nation, yet with 14 losses, I 
thought the Cardinals were the 
biggest disappointment of the 
season and didn't deserve a 
chance to defend their champion- 
ship. 

By the end of tonight, there 
will be only eight teams left in the 
hunt for the national champion- 
ship. Here is who I see winning 
each region and advancing as the 
final four teams to play in New 
Orleans: East - North Carolina 
over Syracuse; Southeast 
-Alabama over Kansas (not 
Georgetown); Midwest - Indiana 
over DePaul; West - Iowa over 
UNLV. 

On to a couple of facts about 
baseball, and let's hear it for the 
Mets. Not even ten games into 
their preseason schedule, and 
already a fight. This one was 
against the Red Sox and started

runs on six hits, while striking out 
three. White, a freshman, picked 
up his first collegiate victory by 
throwing a hitless final inning. 

The Orange and Maroon end- 
ed their stay in Florida by sweep- 
ing a doubleheader from Division 
II Millersville, 4-1 and 10-1. 

In the opener, Leary was 
superb on the hill for the 
Crusaders in registering his first 
victory of the season, giving up 
an unearned run on six hits and

when Boston's Al Nipper hit Dar- 
ryl Strawberry with a pitch in the 
back. 

Normally nothing would have 
come of this, but during the off- 
season, Nipper spoke about how 
he was going to throw at the New 
York rightfielders if he had the 
chance. 

Over the past week, a couple of 
big name free agents signed on 
with new teams. Lance Parrish 
finally signed with the Phillies, 
giving all Philadelphia fans a false 
hope that their team can catch 
the Mets in the National League 
East. Another Eastern division 
club, the Chicago Cubs, helped 
out their offensive attack by sign- 
ing former Expo Andre Dawson. 

Answer to the last Trivia Ques 
tion: The Philadelphia Phillies of 
1977 and 1978 were the last NL 
East squad to capture back to- 
back championships. 

This week's Trivia Question: 
Over the past four seasons, Dar 
ryl Strawberry has hit 108 home 
runs for the Mets. What two Na- 
tional League players have hit 
more homers over this four-year 
period than Strawberry? 

That's all for this week, and 
when I return next week, it will 
be my final four preview for the 
NCAA tournament. The follow 
ing week it will be time for my 
1987 baseball preview so watch 
for that.

Lecture Highlights Visit 



The former president and chief 
executive officer of a New York 
Stock Exchange listed company 
will offer his views on corporate 
takeovers and other topics during 
a week-long visit to SU. 

Walter F. Gips Jr. will present 
a free public lecture entitled 
"Anatomy of a Takeover," at 8 
p.m. Wednesday, April 1 in Sus- 
quehanna's Greta Ray Lounge. 

Gips will be at Susquehanna 
March 30 through April 3 as the 
1987 Woodrow Wilson Visiting 
Fellow. During the week, he also 
will meet with students and par- 
ticipate in classes. Class discus- 
sions will cover entrepreneurship, 
insider trading, comparison of 
Japanese and American business 
and educational methods, prob- 
lems of antisemitism, and 
American business in Germany. 
Gips will also be the guest of the 
International students for an in- 
formal discussion at 8 p.m. on 
Tuesday, March 31, in the Inter- 
national House. 

The Visiting Fellow is chair- 
man of the board emeritus of 
Gulton Industries, Inc., a com- 
pany which specializes in the 
design and manufacture of elec- 
trical and electronic components, 
equipment and systems in four 
principal business segments: 
audio, defense, graphic display, 
and industrial. He was elected 
president, chief executive officer, 
and a director of Gulden in 1969 
and was elected chairman of the 
board in 1978. 

The Princeton, N.J., resident 
received his bachelor's degree 
from Yale University and his 
master's degree in business ad- 
ministration with high distinction 
from Harvard Business School. 
At Harvard, Gips was a Baker 
Scholar and a member of the 
Century Club. Following World 
"ar II service as an Army cap- 
tain, he returned as a research 
assistant and a member of the 
^iness School faculty. 

Gips moved into the business 
field in 1948 as assistant to the 
*** president of sales of U.S. 
Bywood Corporation. He joined 
Luminator, Inc., in Chicago in 
,9 5 1 where he served in various 



executive capacities and was 
chairman of the board and chief 
executive officer at the time it 
merged with Gulton. 

In addition to his association 
with Gulton, Gips is a director of 
Metex Corporation, New Jersey 
National Bank, and Cirfico 
Holdings Corporation. He is also 
on the board of directors of the 
American Electronics Associa- 
tion and is chairman of the New 
York Metro Council. 

Gips has been active in several 
religious, charitable, and educa- 
tional organizations. He was a 
member of the National Board of 
Governors of the American 
Jewish Committee and is on the 
national budget committee. He is 
chairman of the New Jersey State 
Museum Advisory Council and 
was also treasurer of the board of 
trustees of Princeton Day School. 

Gips also was president of the 
Harvard Business School of 
Chicago and was a member of the 
board of directors of the Harvard 
Business School Alumni Council. 

The Woodrow Wilson Visiting 
Fellows program is a national ef- 
fort to help students prepare for 
productive citizenship in the 
public and private spheres. For 
more than a decade, Visiting 



Fellows have brought about 
closer relations between the 
academic and non-academic 
worlds, between campus and 
community, between academic 
theory and practical reality. Since 
1973, 174 colleges have been in- 
vited to participate in the pro- 
gram for three years or longer. 
Susquehanna is in its tenth year 
with the program. 

Visiting Fellows are recruited 
by the Woodrow Wilson Na- 
tional Fellowship Foundation 
and placed on the campuses of 
small colleges for a week of inten- 
sive dialogue with students and 
faculty. The foundation has 
developed and conducted pro- 
grams in higher education since 
1945. 

Contributors to the program 
include the Charles E. Culpeper 
Foundation, the Brown Founda- 
tion, the Mobil Oil Foundation, 
' and IBM. Special grants from the 
Exxon Education Foundation 
and the German Marshall Fund 
emphasize career counseling and 
international perspectives. 

Schedules of the week's events 
are available in the library and at 
The Information Desk in the 
Campus Center. 



Graham Reports In 



The award-winning CBS-TV 
news reporter who covered 
Watergate and the conviction of 
President Reagan's assailant 
discussed freedom and order at 
SU. 

Attorney and law correspond- 
ent Fred Graham spoke to the 
public on Wednesday, March 1 8. 
His talk, "Insuring Domestic 
Tranquility: Balancing Freedom 
and Order," was part of the 
University's forum for the 200th 
anniversary of the US Constitu- 
tion. 

During his speech, which was 
approximately 45 min. long, 
Graham made several observa- 
tions about such things as the 
Conservative-dominated Su- 
preme Court, the constitutionali- 
ty of school segregation, and 



what protections people have 
relating to mandatory drug 
testing. 

A brief question and answer 
session and a reception followed 
the lecture. 

Graham, winner of three Em- 
my awards for his contributions 
to CBS News coverage of 
Watergate and Spiro Agnew 
resignation stories, has served as 
CBS legal correspondent since 
1972. He covers the Supreme 
Court, the Justice Department, 
the FBI, and the legal profession. 

Prior to CBS, Graham was 
Supreme Court correspondent for 
The New York Times for 17 
years. He served as special assist- 
ant to Secretary of Labor 
Williard Wertz from 1963-65.

Keene R. White 



Tragedy Strikes SU 



Last weekend, an SU alumni 
was found dead in a fraternity 
house on campus. The official 
cause of death has been listed as 
asphyxiation. The coroner's of- 
fice is awaiting the results of 
further tests to determine if other 
factors were involved. 

The deceased, Keene R. White, 
was a 1986 graduate of SU and 
was living in Camp Hill, Pa., 
where he worked for the State. 
His family resides in Oakhurst, 
NJ. The funeral was held in 
Oakhurst on March 26, and a 
memorial service was held on 
campus that same day. 

Reports indicate that White, a 
Lambda alumni brother, arrived 
on campus with 3 friends, also 
graduates, on Friday, March 20, 
and went to Lambda Chi Alpha 
house for a party that night. Ac- 
cording to Student Life, the party 
was unregistered and security 
broke it up at approximately 
11:30 p.m. 

The following morning, White 
was found in a student's room in 



the Lambda house. When 
students were unsuccessful at 
awakening him, an ambulance 
was called. Campus security, the 
borough police, and the coroner 
also responded and he was pro- 
nounced dead at 1 p.m. 

A police investigation is being 
conducted, as is standard in cases 
of this type. The results of the 
blood tests will take two to three 
weeks to arrive, at which time a 
more detailed cause of death will 
be known. 

President Cunningham will be 
appointing a 5-member Board of 
Review to examine the events 
surrounding the death. The 
board's findings and recom- 
mendations are due to Cun- 
ningham by April 24. 

The national representative for 
the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity 
was informed and came to 
campus. The fraternity has de- 
cided that it will not sponsor any 
alcohol-related events for the rest 
of the year.

Here On Campus 



SAC 

The Student Activities Com- 
mittee is the organization which 
sponsors and organizes much of 
the entertainment on campus. 
Elections for the executives are 
held every December and the 
chairpeople are elected in the 
January following. SAC has six 
different committees which in- 
dividually meet an average of 
once a month with exception of 
the Film committee. Also, once a 
month all the committees meet in 
a general meeting. 

The Coffeehouse committee 
sponsors performers, such as 
Dave Rudolf, Marty Bear, and 
Dave Binder. The Concert com- 
mittee is in charge of organizing 
every detail for the yearly con- 
cert; this year, they brought us 
John Cafferty and the Beaver 
Brown Band. The Concert com- 
mittee also selects the bands for 
spring weekend 

Events like spring weekend 
and the Bahamas party are 



by Juliet Gibson 

organized by the Special Events 
committee. Because SAC decided 
this year to clear bad debts, there 
will be no Bahamas party this 
year. Spring weekend is brought 
to us by the combined effort of 
SAC and SGA. 

The Film committee chooses, 
runs, and prints the brochure of 
the weekly movies. The advertise 
ment for all these events is taken 
care of by the Public Relations 
committee. Every event is record- 
ed by the historian in the SAC 
record book. 

The number of events that 
SAC can provide depends on the 
amount of money that the 
Budget and Finance Committee 
of SGA allocates to each of the 
individual SAC committees. 
Seventy-five active members put 
an hour to four hours a week into 
SAC to bring us such successful 
activities as Dave Binder, who 
sang James Taylor songs this 
semester, and Tom Deluca the 



Our Corner 

"What are you going to write 
about this week?" someone asked 
me. I think they knew the 
answer, as I imagine you who are 
reading this do. His name was 
Keene White, and the story is 
well known by now. 



Keene graduated from this 
school last year and he was 
engaged to be married to Dee 
Mowery, also a 1986 graduate. 
The details of the incident are 
located in the story on the front 
page.

Success comes from good pro-

ENERGY CONSERVATION 

Often as not, you have walked 
out of your room leaving a light 
or stereo on. Or maybe you take a 
long shower and leave your win- 
dow open in the middle of winter. 
Most students are unaware and 
uninterested in conservation. 
However, a project called Stu- 
dent Conservation Committee is 



The Crusader staff would like 
to extend its condolences to his 
family and friends, as well as to 
Lambda Chi Alpha. The shock 
and the sorrow you feel has been 
felt by us all. 

There is a painful irony to the 
fact that this death occurred the 
day this paper ran a front nage 
headline stating, "New Alcohol 
Policy Starts." While the official 
link to alcohol waits to be af- 
firmed by the lab tests, the 
assumption has been made. Also 
ironic is that my column last 
week dealt entirely with the pro- 
motion of responsible drinking. 

It is sad to think of the tremen- 
dous waste in the loss of a life 
that was just beginning. It is even 
harder to understand when it is 
so senseless, lost at the hands of 
alcohol. While nothing can 
change what has happened in the 
past, perhaps something can be 
gained for the future. 

It is too early for preachy sug- 
gestions, but I think that each 
one of us has done some serious 
thinking about the use and abuse 
of alcohol. The Interfraternity 
Council has taken a step in the 
right direction by deciding to 
have no alcoholic events this 
weekend. After some time has 
passed, it will be up to each in- 
dividual to determine what he 
will glean from the past 
weekend's events.

ing heavily. What else is there to 
say?

concerned with making the 
students more aware of conserva- 
tion. The project began years ago 
oy faculty and administration. 
Now the project, which officially 
started this year, is run by ten 
students along with the help of 
advisor Dave Henry. If you 
haven't noticed, every month a 
list (in comparison to that month 
a year ago) of how much energy 
is being saved by all the dorms, 
except Seibert, is posted in the 
newspaper. (Seibert is not listed, 
because Seibert has computer 
rooms as well as dorm rooms). 
The results are acquired by 
monitoring the dorms electricity 
and. water. The money each dorm 
saves on conservation is placed in 
that dorm's council fund. Earlier 
this year, the members of this 
point gave out pamphlets in all 
the dorms on conserving water 



and electricity. Members of this 
project place comic strips and 
water conservation stickers 
around the dorms. They also 
write letters to companies such as 
Seba-Cog and PPL for informa 
tion and publicity material. The 
project was able to get a free 
energy audit by Tom Besehan of 
Seba Cog. The audit included 
checking the windows and 
heating system. The Student 
Conservation Committee will be 
holding a recycling program in 
Smith Dorm in the near future. 
The project holds a meeting once 
a month and the managers, Pat 
Kennedy and Chris Parker, meet 
with each member individually 
from time to time. Anyone 
interested in increasing energy 
awareness is invited to join which 
is looking for new members.

Player award. She also teamed 
with junior Leslie Howell for a _ 
5-1 record at third doubles, Sus- 
quehanna's best doubles mark. 
Smith is expected to play third 
singles once again this year. 

Howell posted a 5-4 singles 
season in 1986, with all but one 
of the matches played at the sixth 
position. She and freshman 
Janette Reliford will handle fifth 
and sixth singles and form the 
third doubles combination. 

At the upper portion of the 
line-up are junior Diane Herdling 
and senior Marge Guckes. 
Herdling was 4-4 at first and 
second singles and 5-3 in doubles. 

Team captain Guckes, the only 
senior on the squad, also split her 
singles play between the first and 
second spots and compiled a 6-8 
record. In doubles, she wound un 

6-5. Herdling is expected to open 



UPCOMING RECITAL 
FEATURES 
SUSQUEHANNA FACULTY 

Pianist Galen Deibler and 
violist David Boltz, both 
members of the Susquehanna 
University faculty, will present a

Leon Fleisher. 

Boltz is an associate professor 
of music who served a one-year 
appointment at Susquehanna 
from 1963 to 1964 and returned 
in 1967. He is a 1958 graduate of 
Susquehanna and also earned a 
master's degree from Indiana 
University, Bloomington, where 
he has also completed all course 
work for the doctorate.

Bringing Things to Light 



Wanted: Jolly Pranksters 

Susquehanna University is 
desperately seeking the services 
of a few Jolly Pranksters. Ex- 
perience not necessary. Respon- 
sibilities include: anonymously 

perform random but well-timed 
merry pranks, such as showing 
when the emperor has no clothes 
on. Pranksters must have the 
desire to try to investigate reality 

unencumbered with fear, judg- 
ment or wishful thinking. Sus- 
quehanna is in great need of peo- 
ple who will perform silly and 

startling acts, that will shatter 
misconceptions instead of resi- 
dence hall windows, that will pro- 
voke inquiry instead of fearful 
obedience, and initiate communi- 
ty instead of pockets of dis- 
content. The position is part- 
time, hours unspecified. The pay 

is zilch, and initial alienation 
from emperors and their cronies 
is possible. Starting date: im- 
mediately. 

It is hoped that if there is suffi- 
cient interest in this work, the 
Susquehanna University at- 
mosphere will begin to take on an 

air of ambiguity and more clearly 
reflect the caring, intelligent, 
tolerant, and curious nature of its 
membership. 

The need for Jolly Pranksters 



has arisen because our decisions, 
actions and choices of expression 
have appeared to be much 

clearer-cut than they are. Our job 
descriptions, and social lives have 
become well-grooved and highly 

predictable. But our roles don't tit 
who we really are; they are too 
tight and too loose in the wrong 

places, and so, it seems, are we! 
Our, as yet, vague awareness 
of the discomfort of this, has 

shown itself in self -destructive 
ways. We're testy, angry, 
frustrated, exhausted. We're 
drinking more and "enjoying it 
less," and sometimes working 

more and more hours, and get 
ting less and less satisfaction, and 
sometimes vent it with subor- 
dinates, students or family 
members. 

We hope a bunch of (well 
placed) absurd and silly Jolly 
Pranksters can help us determine 
what fits, what doesn't, and when 

any of us have no clothes on. The 
rewards of this position are gig- 
gles in dark corners, standing in 
the light of Truth, and a sense of 

being more alive as you help 

create situations that show off 

what variety there really is 
around here 

If you're interested, please let 
us know - through a prank!

Reelin ' 



Friday, March 27, 1987-THE CRUSADER-Page 5 



—Eric Diesel 



After Christmas, spring is the 
movie critic's favorite time of 
year. This is because critics, who 
are after all the utlimate movie 
fans, relish the chance to par- 
ticipate in that annual debacle of 
wretched excess: the Oscars. 
Therefore, true to the film critic's 
creed, I hereby present my own 
interpretation of this year's Oscar 
race. 

DIRECTOR. My own choice 
for this would be David Lean, 
who helmed last year's ultimate 
sick-dream movie, BLUE 
VELVET. Yet Academy support 
for BLUE VELVET has been 
weak, and recent trends have 
pointed towards Oliver Stone for 
PLATOON. Following Stone, 
Woody Allen is a strong 
sentimental second for HAN- 
NAH AND HER SISTERS. 
Other nominees: Roland Joffe, 
THE MISSION; and James 
Ivory, A ROOM WITH A 
VIEW. 

SUPPORTING ACTOR. This 
one is wide open. Again, I'm go- 
ing to favor Academy senti- 
mentality and predict that Dennis 
Hopper will win for HOOSIERS. 
He's a recently-recovered 
alcoholic, and a gifted performer 
they've previously ignored— both 
of which will work on his behalf. 
Michael Caine is a close second 
for HANNAH AND HER 
SISTERS. Willem Dafoe and 
Tom Berrenger will cancel each 
other out for PLATOON. 
Denholm Elliott brings up the 
rear with A ROOM WITH A 
VIEW. 

SUPPORTING ACTRESS. 
Dianne Wiest is virtually a shoe- 
in for HANNAH AND HER 
SISTERS, especially if Allen 
doesn't win the directing award. 
Maggie Smith is a close, very 
close, second for A ROOM 
WITH A VIEW; followed by 
Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonnio 
(THE COLOR OF MONEY), 
Tess Harper (CRIMES OF THE 
HEART), and Piper Laurie 
(CHILDREN OF A LESSER 
GOD). 



ACTRESS. It would make my 
day if Sigourney Weaver won for 
ALIENS, but of five actresses I 
rank her chances fourth. 
Kathleen Turner's work in 
PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED 
ranks her my second personal 
choice, but an Academy fifth. 
Both Sissy Spacek (CRIMES OF 
THE HEART) and Jane Fonda 
(THE MORNING AFTER) 
were very good; but I think 
Marlee Matlin (CHILDREN OF 
A LESSER GOD) will walk away 
with the Oscar. 

ACTOR. This, of course, is 
1987's hottest race. Will it be 
Paul Newman (THE COLOR 
OF MONEY) or Bob Hoskins 
(MONA LISA)? Well, Hoskins 
has already won both the Cannes 
and the NY Drama Critics 
awards, and Newman has lost 
Oscar six times in a row. My 
prediction: Paul Newman. Other 
nominees: Dexter Gordon 
(ROUND MIDNIGHT), William 
Hurt (CHILDREN OF A 
LESSER GOD), and James 
Woods (SALVADOR). 

FILM. Although CHILDREN 
OF A LESSER GOD and THE 
MISSION are also nominated, 
it's really a three-way tie between 
PLATOON (the current 
favorite), A ROOM WITH A 
VIEW (the intelligentsia's 
choice), and HANNAH AND 
HER SISTERS (the sentimental 
favorite). Will PLATOON and 
HANNAH split the votes so that 
ROOM WITH A VIEW wins by 
default? Will the director who 
loses a best director oscar win 
best picture? Traditionally, I 
would have favored either solu- 
tion, but recent Academy hi-jinks 
like last year's COLOR PURPLE 
fiasco have rendered Academy 
tradition virtually useless. So 111 
choose the current favorite: the 
Academy will stick to its muddy, 
newly refitted guns and name 
PLATOON the best picture of 
1986. As for how it all turns 
out— 111 find out along with 
everyone else on Monday night. 
—Eric Diesel 



NOTES FROM ABOVE 



Women and Men of Sus- 
quehanna: 

Let me share with you some of 
my feelings and reactions to the 
death of Keene White. 

I first heard of Keene's death 
while I was at a conference in 
Minnesota and felt powerless and 
frustrated that I could not be on 
campus. Maybe there was some- 
thing that I could have done? 
Perhaps there were friends who 
needed my support? I have heard 
a good many of you voice similar 
kinds of frustrations and anger 
and guilt. Let me encourage each 
of you to give voice to the sounds 
of your grief and shock. When we 
keep them inside for too long 
they can be a real power of 
disease and twisted energy within 
us. 

I was encouraged to learn of 
the responsible work which many 
people in the University did to 
provide support for those in need 
and to handle the practical mat- 
ters surrounding Keene's death. I 
like to think of Dorothy Ander- 
son and her staff as providing a 



kind of safety net which can 
catch us when we fall during our 
walk through life. I am grateful 
for the Student Life Staff. 

I am concerned that we not 
waste any energy as a community 
pointing fingers of blame at 
students, fraternities, ad- 
ministrators, or faculty. We often 
tend to accuse others in order to 
excuse ourselves and, frankly, I 
don't think we can afford that 
kind of evasion now. Let me in- 
vite, encourage, exhort all of us 
to think long and hard, to talk 
with one another about how we 
can learn to play and have a good 
time as a community of respon- 
sible human beings in such a way 
that we do not endanger 
ourselves or abuse the life of 
others. I feel like we have come to 
the far boundaries of a social life 
based upon alcohol. How can we 
rejoice with one another, how 
can we blow off steam with one 
another without always having to 
have a drink or two or three or 
ten? I feel like this is not a simple 
problem which students have 
because I see people of all ages in 



our community wno need to 
learn more constructive ways of 
relaxing too. I feel that this is not 
the kind of problem that will be 
solved by a new set of rules. We 
are being challenged by Life and 
Death to be more fully human in 
our own lives. I feel we need to 
challenge an assumption which I 
have heard too much this week 
which goes something like this, 
"Its inevitable. Students, faculty 
are going to drink no matter what 
you do. Some are going to drink 
too much and get in trouble." I 
want to take responsibility for my 
life and my playing so that I don't 
tempt Death, and I want to be a 
contributing member of the com- 
munity wherein I and my fellows 
can relax and play and let off 
steam in a healthy way that adds 
to life. 

Let's talk; let's press the issue 
of play and alcohol until we find 
practical, lively ways of life 
together. 

For the greater glory of God! 

Christopher M. Thomforde 

Chaplain to the University 



New Faces in Blough 



As you may have noticed, 
there are some new faces in the 
library checking students' 
bookbags on their way out the 
door. The reason for this mainly 
involves a delay in the arrival of 
the new library furniture. 

According to James Smillie, 
librarian, the new furniture was 
ordered in September, and due to 
arrive the week of Jan. 12. One 
delay extended the date to Feb. 
15, and now it won't even be in 
until after classes end. 

The security system cannot be 
set up until the new furniture 
comes in for a couple of reasons. 
First of all, it gets its electrical 
power from the main desk, which 



is part of the delayed furniture. 
Second, holes have to be drilled 
into the floor to put in the securi- 
ty system, and if anything has to 
be moved after the furniture 
comes in, there will be useless 
holes left in the library floor. 

Smillie was left in sort of a rut 
because there was no way to get 
the furniture here any faster, and 
something had to be done about 
security, especially since the 
library is getting busier with 
finals fast approaching. Smillie 
felt it unfair to have students paid 
to check up on other students, 
therefore decided to hire other 
people to do the job. An ad was 
run in the local newspaper at the 



beginning of spring break, and six 
area people were interviewed. 
Three were hired who filled the 
busy hour time slots, and who 
seemed to be polite and get along 
with students. These are part- 
time temporary workers. As 
Smillie put it, they are "...human 
substitutes for a security system 
we can't put back in." 

These area people include a 
businessman from Shamokin, 
and even a prison guard. They 
started the Monday after spring 
break and will continue until the 
Friday before graduation. Their 
purpose: to make sure no one 
takes out something that isn't 
checked out.

It's Greek to Us 



SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

Hey everybody! To start things 
off this week, I would like to 
thank the sisters and pledges of 
Sigma Kappa for a great time last 
Friday night. All the pledges 
finally got to see the real Ann 
Straka in "action." I hope the 
jello was to everyone's liking. 

If you didn't see any of us last 
Saturday it was because most of 
the bros and pledges took a road 
trip to good ole Penn State Univ. 
Before everyone arrived at PSU, 
a few carloads stopped off to see 
Brother Ed Lopez's "empty" 
house except for his sister who 
nearly had cardiac arrest to see 
half of the fraternity at the 
doorstep. 

Q: Ed Lopez, what's your 
favorite song? A: "Michelle, My 
Belle." Many of our pledges got 
most of their Till" one way or 
another including Tim "Hands" 
Mee. We hope that Steve Cook's 
truly pathetic scurvy friend, 
Rick, and the "physical therapist" 
Dr. E.J. Geiger had a great time. 
Don't worry doc, your mission 
will be accomplished in a few 
weeks. We do need to bring a few 
spare paddles in case some "disap- 
pear." Speaking of not disappear- 
ing, why was the lighting system 
still there when we left? 

While most were at PSU, 
Brothers John "Terribly Sober" 
Tourville and Craig "Russell" 
Stoken had their hands full back 
here at SU. However, neither 
used the floor logo to its full 
potential — someone will... 
sooner or later! 

On a very serious note: the 
Brothers and Pledges of Sig Ep 
would like to express our sincere 
condolences and grievances for 
the loss of Lambda Chi Alpha 
alumnus Keene White. 

We would like to congratulate 
Brother Dan Lichtner for 
lavaliering Golden Heart Bobbi 
Stipetich. Hey Dan, where are 
the handcuffs? 

Also we would like to wish 
belated Happy B Days to 
Brothers Mark Bensel, Chris 
"S.P." Newman, and Armand 
Dodsworth on celebrating the 
first anniversary on their 21st 
B Days (start looking forward to 
Social Security checks.. .they're 
just around the corner)!! 



Wanted: A formal date for Mr. 
Mark Bensel, a new name for Jef- 
frey Allen Giaimo III since 
everybody's becoming a Giaimo, 
and a new forehead for Eric 
"Sam" Tucker — we're sorry you 
rose to such unexpected heights 
in your life. 

Last, but not least, New Years 
Day is just around the corner for 
our pledges. The years 1992 and 
soon 2001 will finally be at hand. 
The Brothers hope your pledge 
period has been most enjoyable 
and memorable — it's been fun 
for us. Get psyched for this 
weekend and the years ahead!!! 
Until Next Time, 
—Russell, Inc. 



KAPPA DELTA 

Hi everyone...hope everyone is 
doing okay. 

Well, on to more serious sub- 
jects.. .Sat., tomorrow, March 28 
is the KD Shamrock Project. The 
Project raises money for the Na- 
tional Committee for the Preven- 
tion of Child Abuse, as well as for 
the local Sunbury Child Abuse 
Center. All the KDs will be at the 
Susquehanna Valley Mall from 
11 am until 5 pm on Sat. col- 
lecting money to prevent the 
tragedy of child abuse. Did you 
know that this year one million 
American children will be 
tormented physically, emotional- 
ly or sexually? And of those one 
million abused children, two 
thousand of them will die because 
of the abuse. KD wants to 
eliminate the tragedy of child 
abuse and we need your help. So, 
please, give generously if you're 
at the mall on Sat. 

One final note...The Sisters of 
Kappa Delta would like to ex- 
press our deepest sympathy to the 
Brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha. 
Our hearts are with you. 
With KD love and mine, 
PJS 

PHI MU DELTA 

Helk), baby. Sorry about no 
print last week, there was a really 
good reason for the mistake, 
though I can't think of one off 
hand. Would you believe I was 
studying?

As the weather climbs over 60 
and classes become more and 
more optional, except for 
Pledges, only one thing should 
come to mind: more Senior Pro- 
files. 

This week's first recipient is 
one of the hundreds of people 
from Chatham, N.J. As an il- 
lustrious past President, Calv 
(William C. Calvert, HI), who is 
SU's answer to Alex Keaton, has 
it all going for him. First, he's a 
Republican; second, he's got a 
wife, uh, loyal girlfriend; third, a 
car that has transported more 
fatkids than there are hairs on 
John Rendina's puny little 
coconut; and finally, this poor 
lout lives with two God-forsaken 
creatures barely mentionable in 
print: Kevin "Dooey" Sinnott 
and Ken "Lumpy, Dumpy, 
Lumber, etc." Loisch. Maybe I 
should have quit while I was 
ahead. This future enterpriser 
lists his greatest accomplishments 
as his work for Phi Mu Delta, 
specifically, putting up with one 
year of Chumley Smith and four 
of Dooey. Future plans: now that 
the migraines are gone, Calv 
plans on becoming fabulously 
wealthy and taking over the 
world before Mr. Lackowitz gets 
his greedy paws on it. 

Next up is Paul "That's it, I'm 
leaving!" Christensen (Chris the 
name, the number, s-e-n). A 
former Chathamite, Paul now 
calls Piano, Texas (3924 Tumbril 
Lane for those of us who still 
remember) his home. This 
Brother, an owner of an infinite 
number of nicknames (None flat- 
tering, but a few are Mr. T.V., 
Pumpkin, The Mad Moper, etc., 
etc.), lists his favorite pastime as 
finding (and quickly losing) 
girlfriends. "Gecz, it's not like I 
mind her breaking up with me..." 
Paul's musical interests run like 
this: The who, Pete Townsend, 
The Who, Roger Daltrey, and 
The Who. Paul's future plans: To 
move out of Texas, quit Frito 
Lay, to wait for Donna to 
become available again and then 
marry her, only to get divorced 
within a month, then mope it out 
for the rest of his life. I just want 
to say good luck, we're all count- 
ing on you. 

A few quick notes: Pledge 
Sadorf -isn't it a shame your birth- 
day occurred during the week? 
POW goes to the man, the myth, 

the semi-legend Gen-o 

Cautillo; for those of you who 
aren't aware as of yet, Mike 
McNelly is no longer Mike, he is 
Gozer the Key Master (maybe 
well play some Twister, a little 
Parchese, some breakdancing) 
and finally, Greg Jerrehian has 
lavaliered his squeeze Dina at 
James Madison U. According to 
him, he wanted this in print so he 
wouldn't have to break hearts in 
person—these are the words from 
the horse's mouth, I swear. 



Well, that's all from the home 
front, 

See ya bye 
Tall and skinny, short and fat 

ZETA TAU ALPHA 

In a small town called Selins- 
grove, 32 sisters and 10 pledges of 
Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority live by 
the motto "seek the noblest". 
Well, last weekend our pledges 
tried to find that nobility, but I 
don't think it was on their list. 
"Did all of you have fun doing 
the 'line dance'?" While on their 
scavenger hunt, a certain 
"Fiesta" cost $7.79, and everyone 
showed interest as "the 
magazine" was passed around for 
the "articles". Pledge "Ingrid" 
(alias Bridget McKinley) received 
the "I-carry-my knapsack 
everywhere" award. By the way 
Ingrid, "what color are your 

shoelaces and where's your Acme 
aisle?" Pledge Karen DeGraw 
received the "Lawrence Taylor" 
award for tackling Pledge Patty 
Kloss to the ground to save her 
from "Zeta bats". Pledge 
Michelle Leuser wants to go back 
to "GeeBee" for her split per- 
sonality "Esther" and a pair of 
Zoomie Skates. Well everyone, 
the pledges would like to thank 
Sisters Bonnie Herb, Kathy 
Wilcox, Sharon Ward, Sarah 
Walter, and Karen Hagstrom for 
being such great Zeta spies 
throughout the hunt, and also a 
"thank you" to the boys at 
Bucknell for . . . everything. 

Great St. Patrick's Day party, 
Phi Mu Delta! All the ZTAs had 
a blast! "Have fun?", Sister Tracy 
Lawrence. Sister Sarah Walter, 
"did I hear you singing across the 
bar?" 

Take a bow, Sisters Meg 
Farmer and Diane Esty. That 
was the best Toxic Waste I ever 
tasted! Sister Sharon Ward, "did 
you lose something?" 

Girls, these are what memories 
are made of! "Long time no see, 
Sister Bethany Ray!" Sister 
Marge Cook, "I'm glad someone 
knows how and when to wear 
their sunglasses!" Sister Diane Es- 
ty, "does the name Emily Post 
mean anything to you?" "Do you 
always spit your peaches out, 
Sister Melanie Raffa?" 

The Zetas would like to wish a 
belated HAPPY 20th BIRTH 
DAY to Pledge Patty Kloss (on 
March 23). 

Come on everybody, get 
psyched for Zeta Day on March 
28! Harrisburg - HERE WE 
COME! 

In closing this week's column, 
the Sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha 
Sorority would like to extend our 
deepest sympathy to the brothers 
of Lambda Chi Alpha for their 
tremendous loss. We hope the 
days ahead look brighter. 



In Zeta love, 

— Mother Goose

THETA CHI 

Hello, fighting Crusaders. It's 
official, spring that is, and just in 
time for last weekend. Saturday 
night set the scene for a 
memorable downtown shindig. 
Plenty of brothers were kept 
amused by those crazy pledge 
antics and JAW's man-eating 
Oscar. Pledges Klien and Fusco 
did their best imitation of 
Cowboy Pancho, "isn't it spring 
in Mexico too?" 

Many Spud alumni were seen 
flitting here and there on campus 
last weekend. They included: 
Bobby "I came back home 
because I ran out of money" 
Wiseman, Pete "I stopped 
moeing the hallways" McQuaid, 
Frank "I couldn't wait to get 
back and waffle the pledges" Mc- 
Cormack, Tim "I shaved for 
the occasion" Kinsella, Dave 
"Frenchy" "Scott, Jeff "I've been 
lifting" Nudelman, and last but 
not least, Kirk "I only come up 
every other weekend" Yoggy. 
Don't you fellas have anything 
better to do with your lives? 

On the sports front, the 
Crusader baseball club headed for 
Florida over Spring Break faced 
with a tight schedule of games. 
They returned with a 4-3 record. 
Last Thurs. they played Bucknell 
in a double-header, sweeping 
both games. The results were 
similar when the team played 
Wilkes last Sat. afternoon. 

Brothers Young, Lelli and 
Pellegrino have taken full ad- 
vantage of this warm weather by 
visiting the Shade Mountain Golf 
Course, in efforts to take a few 
strokes of their handicaps. It 
seems that they have decided to 
join the school team, they sure 
have enough experience. The 
FGA (Fraternal Golf Assn.) will 
be holding their annual spring 
tournament within the next 
ttuple of weeks. The defending 
champ might be disqualified 
because of his controversial 
handicap last time. 

The weather, much the the 
*jBht of the Theta Hackers, has 
^n Pleasant for their sessions 
0n the patio. I bet that sack will 
** a lot of action this weekend 
town in Philly.

PHI SIGMA KAPPA 

Greetings from the Ave. Real- 
ly wasn't too much to relate for 
last week's news, other than the 
inevitable stories from Spring 
Break in Florida, and in a nut- 
shell, they are— the Mac Cobb, 
Dennis Sansiveri, and Greg Yori 
team's quote was that Pres. Yori 
was "Whoopie Goldfish", the 
Eric Lande, Joe Carroly, and 
Doug Shnell team's quote was 
(after hooking up with Theta's 
Lou Lelly and Jeff Warheim) 
"Get'm' out!" and Tom Harrison 
played baseball. 

Next off, I'd like to extend 
sympathies to Lambda Chi 
Alpha. Please, people, for Christ's 
sake let's be" a bit more careful. 
Rob Ancipink made us a bonus 
St. Patrick's Day meal that only a 
red-headed Irish/Pollack could 
do. Also, we're looking forward 
to Snoopy's history lesson on the 
Gettysburg battlefield this com- 
ing Thursday. Our pledges have 
certainly come a long way and 
went through a lot of poop this 
past weekend...hang in there, 

boys, it's almost over...maybe. 
Dave Lisner has become an ac- 
tive associate- welcome aboard, 
Dave. Jim "Chip" Hilker has 
proved that he's a successful 
graduate from the "School of 
Breaking and Entering"- what 
was it that you needed so badly, 
Jim? Dougy got tugged out on a 
double-play. Format's coming up 
soon, so get those dates or vic- 
tims, guys. 

O.k., this week's top-ten list 
comes from our home office in 
Wocester, Mass., and it is- The 
Top-Ten Rumors That Have 
Been Proven False.. .number ten, 
Mikey died from Pop-Rocks; 
number nine, Ex Phillipino Pres. 
Marcos was a Mousketeer; 
number eight, spider eggs in 
Bubble- Yum bubblegum; number 
seven, Billy Idol was Eddie 
Minister; number six, too much 
saccharine makes you hallu- 
cinate; number five, Johnny 
Holmes played Eddie Haskel; 
number four, Sunbury is the in- 
dustrial center of Pennsylvania; 
number three, Chinese people are 
born with a superiority complex; 
number two, Rob Lowe has 
AlDs; and, this week's number 
one on the list... they serve food in 
our cafeteria. 



This week's senior profile goes 
to one Eric Lande. Eric is a 
finance major (we think) from 
Yardly, Pa. He's known as 
"Spaceman" to us, among other 
ancient nicknames like "Arab," 
"Slick," and "King of the Forest." 
If you had never met Eric, he was 
the person in the Speedo briefs at 
our past beach parties, or maybe 
you've observed him taking all of 
ten minutes to make a sandwich 
in the caf. Usually what comes 
out of his mouth is irrelevant, but 
his most well-known sayings are 
"Yo, dude" and "Did I ever tell 
you about Chris from Phila- 
delphia?" If you think Eric's a 
work of art, you oughtta see the 
things his girlfriend did at our 
toga party! Also, his hobbies are 
skiing and Led Zeppelin. 

No guts, no glory, 
-Sid 



Blood Drive Coming 



The annual Susquehanna 
Blood Drive is only one week 
away! On Friday, April 3, 1987 
the drive will take place in the 
"NEW GYM" from 10:45 to 
4:45. The goal for this year has 
been set at 320 pints, and the 
Blood Drive Steering Committee 
is sure that with the support of 
students, faculty, staff, and ad- 
ministration that this goal will be 
achieved. 

As in the past a free steak din- 
ner at the Big Wrangler will be 
awarded to the corridor or living 
unit having the highest per- 
centage of actual donors. In addi- 
tion, all students on the board 
plan who donate blood will 
receive a special dinner. Blood 



Cups will also be awarded to the 
fraternity and sorority with the 
highest percentage of actual 
donors. 

In addition to donors, many 
volunteers are needed to help 
with the drive. Anyone who can 
help on April 3 can sign-up at the 
campus center main desk or the 
Blood Drive Information table. 
The shifts for working are 
10:30-12:30, 12:30 2:30, and 
2:30-4:45.

Taking a Break 



Schub and Zukerman Perform 



While many college students 
spend their spring break relaxing 
on beaches and forget their 
academic pressures for a few 
days, several Susquehanna 
University students used the 
vacation period to extend their 
knowledge. 

Sophomore elementary educa- 
tion majors Susan Ossenfort of 
Valhalla, N.Y., and Michelle 
Possessky of Raritan, N.J., 
served as student teachers in 
Manning, S.C. The pair spent 
four days working with minority 
teachers and students at 
Manning Primary School, which 
has been featured in Educational 
Leadership and recognized by the 
National Council of Teachers of 
English for its exemplary early 
childhood education program. 

Ossenfort and Possessky's 
faculty advisor, Dr. Mark 
Dewalt, spent seven years as a 
teacher in the Manning schools. 

Ten Susquehanna students 
went to London as part of the 
World of the Arts course. 
According to Dr. Henry Diers, 



dean of the School of Fine Arts 
and Communications, the group 
was introduced to music, theatre, 
dance, architecture, and opera 
during class periods prior to the 
break. 

"While in London, the various 
forms of art the students have 
been exposed to thus far will 
come alive, through tours of 
cathedrals, theatres, opera 
houses, museums, and galleries," 
Diers viid before the trip. 

The students visited landmarks 
such as Westminster Abbey, the 
Tower of London, the National 
Gallery of Art, London Bridge, 
and the British Museum. 

Those Susquehanna students 
who went overseas were: Alexis 
Bobbins, freshman; Nancy Boz- 
zomo, freshman; Karen 
Buchanan, senior; Merry Cook, 
senior; Colleen Cronin, freshman; 
Kristine Davis, freshman; Donna 
DeGennaro, sophomore; Susan 
Kistler, freshman; Janette 
Reliford, freshman; Eileen Riley, 
freshman; and Ginger Schultz, 
freshman.

Inter nationally acclaimed 
pianist Andre-Michel Schub and 
flautist Eugenia Zukerman will 
present a free public performance 
8 p.m. Tuesday, March 31 at 
Weber Chapel Auditorium. 

Susquehanna University has 
granted a request from ICM 
Artists to reschedule the 1987 
Stella Freeman Weis Cultural 
Endowment Performance from 
Thursday, March 26 to Tuesday, 
March 31 to accommodate for 
Andre-Michel Schub to perform 
as a soloist with the Denver Sym- 
phony and Philippe Entremont, 
music director for the Vienna 
Chamber Orchestra. 

University President Joel Cun- 
ningham said change developed 
when pianist Alexis Weissenberg, 
who was scheduled to perform in 
Denver, became ill. Schub was in- 
vited to perform because his 
repertoire includes Brahams 
"Piano Concerto No. 1", which is 
on the symphony program. 

Cunningham said Susquehan- 
na recognized that the invitation 
presented Schub with a tre- 
mendous career opportunity 
because Entremont is a world 
class pianist in his own right. 

"It was the decision of Sus- 
quehanna University to reaffirm 
our commitment to support out- 
standing musicians, which is also 
the reason why the Weis family 



established the Stella Freeman 
Weis Cultural Endowment," 
Cunningham said. "We realize 
this may present some dif- 
ficulties, but we believe it is 
important to support this oppor- 
tunity." 

Their performance is being 
made possible by the Stella 
Freeman Weis Cultural Endow- 
ment, a fund established in 1976 
by Sunbury residents Robert and 
Patricia Weis to bring critically 
acclaimed performing artists to 
Susquehanna. 

Both Schub and Zukerman 
have drawn public recognition 
for their talent and ac- 
complishments. 

At 33 years old, Schub has 
built a solid reputation as grand

SU Student Visits Egypt 



While most students may be 
savoring their memories of the re- 
cent Spring Break, from sunning 
themselves in Ft. Lauderdale to 
relaxing at home, few can 
imagine a two-week trip to Egypt. 
If they're curious, however, they 
should ask Pam Bixby, a senior 
here from Wellsboro, PA, major- 
ing in English and Psychology, 
who traveled for two weeks 
through Egypt. 

Pam went to Egypt with her 
father, Mark Bixby, as a writer 
for the National Institute of Ex- 
ploration's Earth Treks project. 
This institute is a non-profit 
organization devoted to portray- 
ing nations and their people 
through photographs and words. 
A recent Earth Treks project 
traveled to Kenya, and future 
projects include visits to Peru and 
Australia. 

Thirty -eight photographers 
and ten writers split into six 
groups when they arrived in 
Egypt on November 23. After 
spending three days in Cairo, 
Egypt's capital, the groups, made 
up of five photographers and one 
writer, traveled to various regions 
of Egypt. The national travel 
agency, Misr, helped each group 
to visit one distinctive region 
representing one portion of 
Egypt's land and people. These 
regions included a desert oasis, 
Luxor, Alexandria, sailing down 
.the Nile, and scuba diving in the 
Mediterranean Sea. 



Besides her writing, Pam also 
traveled to many typical 
Egyptian tourist attractions, in- 
cluding the Pyramids and a cruise 
on the Nile. She also saw the 
camels, belly dancers, and snake 
charmers so stereotypical of 
Egypt. 

Pam remarked that the 
Egyptian people were extremely 
friendly. She attributes their 
friendliness to their strict faith in 
their Moslem religion, which 
demands that they be polite, 
friendly, and law-abiding. This 
also explains why Egypt has a 

very low crime rate. Pam recalled 
how one weaving village, where 
everyone lived in mud houses, 
was especially friendly. Without 
hesitating, many villagers would 
invite Pam and the other 
members of the group to their 
treasured tea time, when the en- 
tire village would shut down for 
tea. 

Pam also recalled one friendly 
Egyptian man who wanted to 
practice his English with Pam 
and her friend. He brought them 
to a bar where the music was 
typically eerie and Egyptian. On 
their way back to their hotel, 
Pam and her friend got lost and 
asked a gas station attendant for 
directions. He insisted on walking 
them back to their hotel! Would 
this happen to two people lost in 
New York City at night? 



Pam explained that perhaps 
the worst part of the trip was 
their stay in Cairo. Although 
Cairo is much larger than New 
York City yet much safer, and is 
full of fascinating bazaars and 
catacombs, it was also "filthy" 
and very loud. Furthermore, for 
such a large city, no traffic laws 
existed. For instance, at night, 
none of the cars used their 
headlights. 

Pam, who before this trip had 
only traveled to Europe, stated 
that she would certainly want to 
go on another Earth Treks pro- 
ject, but would not want to visit 
Egypt again. Not only did the 
great K economic turmoil" in 
Egypt disturb her, but also, 
Egypt's timelessness allows for 
very few changes to occur. Pam 
remarked that her father had 
traveled to Egypt once before 
about thirty years ago, and saw 
very few differences from then to 
today. After two weeks, Pam was 
ready to go home. So when she 
arrived for a three-day stay in 
Paris, with her knowledge of 
French and France's Western, 
modern, technological culture, 
Paris felt "like home." Still, while 
awaiting for the Project Egypt 
book to be published, Pam will 
remember the many enriching ex 
periences she encountered while 
visiting Egypt, an ancient, un- 
changing nation, very different 
from the United States.

S.U. Stands For Shape Up 






Aerobics With Roger 



The Question: What is the 
latest craze to hit S.U.? 
The Answer: Aerobics. 

Over the past few weeks, more 
and more students have been 
putting aside the candy and chips 
and heading over to the gym to 
join their friends in what they call 
"a great aerobic workout." 
Anyone is welcome, male or 
female, and it's not necessary to 
be in perfect condition to join. 

The Aerobics class is led by 
Roger Yost, a junior here at S.U. 
He began teaching the class last 
year while he was a member of 
the swim team. He and the rest of 
the team took up aerobics as a 
new way of keeping fit for swim 
season. During this time, many of 
the members invited their friends 
to join them in the workout and 
the class size grew larger every 
day. By the time swim season was 
over, Roger had such a large 
following that he decided to con- 
tinue on teaching the class. 

Roger explained the sequence 
and purpose of the workouts in 
his classes. "Every class lasts 
about one hour. I start off with a 
basic warm up, followed by an 
aerobic session (actual jogging). 
Next comes exercise working 
each separate part of the body. 
Arms, another aerobic, waist, 



stomach, then the hips and 
thighs. The class ends with a 
stretch and cool down." This type 
of workout is very beneficial to 
your body. Roger added, "It not 
only strengthens the cardio- 
vascular system, but it also tones 
the muscles and gets your body 
into great physical condition." 

There are several different 
reasons why people flock to this 
aerobics class. Most of the 
students questioned said that 
since summer is quickly ap- 
proaching, they want to get back 
in shape to look great in those 
good ole' summer outfits. Isn't 
that what we all want? Another 
popular reason is strictly social. 

Since the class is co-ed, alot of 
students like to join in just to 
watch the members of the op- 
posite sex. A lot of the guys go 
just to be seen. Whatever the 
reason for participating, it's a 
great way to get in shape and 
make new friends at the same 
time. You can't ask for much 
more. 

There wasn't a set time that 
the class was being held last 
semester. Roger had to work 
1 around the schedules of several 
sports teams that needed the gym 
facilities to practice. This 
semester, however, a permanent 



time and location was chosen for 
the class. It is now held 7:00 pm 
every Sunday, Monday, Wednes- 
day, and Friday in the multi- 
purpose room of the gym. Roger 
said, "I have a few new ideas for 
the class. I was thinking of 
holding some of the classes out- 
side as soon as the weather gets 
warmer. I also have some new 
music and some changes for the 
routine." It was also decided that 
there be a fee for taking part in 
the class. The price is $4.00 per 
month or 25$ per class. 

Knowing all the benefits of 
aerobics and all the fun that you 
can have in a class, it's not sur- 
prising that so many people have 
been getting involved. The classes 
usually range from 50 to 75 
people each day. I myself par- 
ticipate in the classes at least 
three times per week, and I really 
enjoy them. It takes up only one 
hour of your time and it's a great 
way to release all the tension 
which builds up over the course 
of the day. So if you're looking 
for some way to get rid of all the 
"extra pounds" you put on over 
the winter, why not think about 
getting into the World of 
Aerobics? You will see great 
results in a matter of weeks if you 
only stick with it; then come sum- 
mer, all the eyes will be on you!

ARA: Treat Yourself Right 



Some people may wonder how 
SU's ARA cafeteria contributes 
to good health and fitness. I 
recently had a tour of the 
kitchen, and talked with Don 
Egan, assistant director of the 
food service. I found out many 
interesting, and even good, things 
about our cafeteria's food. 

Among the health-conscious 
aspects of the. cafeteria are the 
use of only fresh and frozen 
vegetables, and only choice 
nwats. The vegetables are only 
steamed, thus retaining more 
vitamins from less cooking. There 
^e no additives added, unlike 
some places who do add them, ac- 
cording to Egan. The choice 
•neats have most of the fat 
trimmed off also. 

I also learned that most food 
'terns are produced from scratch. 
F °r example, the dough and 
sa uce for the pizza are 

homemade, and real cheese is 
used. (They were serving pizza 
for lunch that day.) All breads 
and desserts are also freshly made 
°n the premises. 

The soup bases the ARA uses 
J* not like many others which 
kve salt as the first ingredient. 



Rather, clams or beef are the 
main ingredients. 

Another interesting fact I 
learned was that our scrambled 
eggs are fresh, not powdered! I 
was even showed an egg 
separater which can separate the 
shells from thirty dozen eggs in 
two minutes. 




There is going to be a con- 
certed effort on the part of the 
food service to tell students about 
better nutrition. There will be a 
nutrition table with handouts 
about calories, exercise, car- 
bohydrates, and calcium, among 
others. 

If anyone is having problems 
with a diet, or has a special diet 
requiring special food, they can 
go to a food service member and 
get information or have special 
food prepared. For example, skin 
could be removed from chicken if 
a diet requires less fat. SU's food 
service also checks with dietitians 
to help with special problems. 

Egan feels most students eat a 
balanced diet, the salad bar being 
the major contributing factor. He 
has noticed also a trend toward 
students eating more fruit, and 
less dessert. 

The food service tries to keep 
standard portions and tries to 
keep a good variety of food with 
three entrees, deli bar, fruit, fresh 
baked goods, and cereals. There is 
enough choice for a good diet, 
but it is ultimately up to the stu- 
dent to choose what is right to 
eat. 




Hot and Heavy 



No, those wide, leather belts 
you've seen carried around 
campus aren't part of the new 
fashion craze; they're part of the 
new fitness craze at Susquehan- 
na, weightlifting. Many guys and 
girls at Susquehanna have begun 
to lift weights daily, on regular 
schedules, for various reasons, in- 
cluding improving their own well 
being, preparing for sports, re 
leasing stress, and, in general, 
looking "good". 

However, the other evening, a 
group of guys in the weight room, 
preparing for "spring time ... the 
girls ... Ft. Lauderdale ... and 
spring break", presented many 
complaints about the weightroom 
and its equipment. 

First of all, the heat in the 
weightroom is nearly unbearable. 
Considering the amount of exer- 
cise going on in the room, it 
seems almost dangerous to many 
of them to have such high heat. 
Better ventilation, or as some 
students suggested, a large fan, is 
necessary in this small room. 
Moreover, enlarging the room 
would be a great improvement. 

Second, the students explained 
that much of the weightroom's 
equipment needs repair or im- 
provement. The students ex- 
plained that the weights, of 
which there are few, are of poor 
volume. Many students com 
plained that the weight bench 
needs repairing, and finally, an 
overwhelming request for more 
dumbbells and exercise bikes also 
surfaced. 

Mr. Harnum, the Director of 
Athletics, explained that he felt 
'frustrated for" the students who 
use the weightroom, and 
understands that improvements 
should be made. However, he 
stated that the main problem was 
space. For quite a while now, the 
university has been trying to find 
a way to enlarge the weightroom, 
since it is such a "heavily used 
facility". Mr. Harnum explained 



how enlarging the weightroom 
into the multi-purpose room 
would add the needed space, but 
that the room is necessary for too 
many other activities, such as 
sports and aerobics. 

However, Mr. Harnum also 
stated that our weightroom is not 
too bad compared to others. He 
explained that without the extra 
space, new equipment, such as a 
Nautilus system, would be 
useless. Furthermore, most of the 
funds for new equipment comes 
from sports clubs and fundraisers, 
which, overall, do not generate 
too much money. Mr. Harnum 
did state, though, that any stu- 
dent who notices equipment in 
need of repair should report it to 
his/her coach or to him, since 
they will replace the equipment 
that is already available. 

Mr. Harnum understands that 
a larger weightroom would at- 
tract more students, particularly 
girls, who sometimes are afraid to 
go into a small room full of guys, 
as well as create a better sports 
program. The architects who 
recently visited the university 
also noted the need for enlarge- 
ment, and the university has been 
planning to build a field house for 
the sports programs. Then, the 
weightroom could be enlarged in- 
to the multi-purpose room and 
new equipment could be added. 
This project wouldn't be finished 
for a few years, however. Mr. 
Harnum welcomes any sugges 
tions that the students may have 
on improving the facilities. 

Despite its faults, students still 
use the weightroom regularly. 
The lines of students waiting for 
a particular station proves just 
how popular this activity has 
become. Most students agree and 
hope that Susquehanna Universi- 
ty will make some improvements 
on the weightroom so this 
healthy, invigorating sport can 
remain strong across campus.

Batter Up 

Continued from p. 12 

before the Crusaders fought back 

I for six unanswered runs to pull 
out the win. 

The Orange and Maroon 
scored three times in the bottom 
of the second with two outs. 
Sofio and Joachim singled to start 
the uprising, before Frank Forrer 
reached on an error by the third 
baseman, allowing Sofio to score. 
Tom Harrison walked to load the 
bases, before starting pitcher 
Scott Rifkin forced in runs with 
walks to Paradine and Bill 
Mueller. 

Susquehanna tied the score at 
5-5 in the fourth, when Joachim 
walked, moved to third when 
Forrer's sacrifice bunt was 
thrown away by the third 
baseman, and scored on a wild 
pitch. Forrer then scored on a 

I suicide squeeze bunt by 
Paradino. 

In the fifth inning, Barker led 
off the inning with a walk and 
was sacrificed to second by co- 
captain Tom Smith. Sofio then 
ripped a double to right field to 
score Barker with the winning 

I run. 

Leary allowed twelve hits over 
6-'/3 innings with three strikeouts 
in picking up his second win. 
Scott Krzykowski got the final 
two batters to register the save. 
The Crusaders opened defense 
of the MAC-NW division title by 
sweeping the Colonels of Wilkes 
on a chilly day in Selinsgrove, 6-4 
and 4.0. 

Trailing 2-0 going to the bot- 
tom of the second inning, SU 
responded with three runs to take 
the lead for good. With the bases 
loaded and none out, winning 
pitcher Joachim knocked in the 
first run with a fielders choice, 
before Crabtree and Guinan con- 
nected for RBI singles to give the 
Orange and Maroon a 3-2 lead. 
The home squad added two 
more in the third inning and one 
in the fourth to take a command- 
ing 6-2 lead. 

Barker started the third inning 
by doubling home Hanlon, who 
had reached on a walk. Following 
a base on balls to Smith, losing 
pitcher Don Shaw balked, allow- 
ing each runner to advance one 

[base. 

Sofio then lifted a sacrifice fly 
to center, scoring Barker and 
giving SU a 5-2 lead. In the 
fourth, Crabtree singled, moved 
to second on a Guinan sacrifice 
and scored on a single by Steve 
Nelson. 

Wilkes rallied to score twice in 
Je seventh inning against 
Joachim, before Guinan entered 
*ith the bases loaded and nobody 
h"t and picked up his first col- 
legiate save. 

Game two saw Krzykowski 
Wfe the Colonels as he notched 
r s firet collegiate shutout with a 
three-hit victory.

Hanlon connected for back-to- 
back singles, putting runners on 
second and third as Hanlon 
moved up on the throw to third. 
Barker then laid down a perfect 
squeeze bunt to score Mueller 
and Hanlon scored on a single by 
Sofio. 

The Orange and Maroon 
scored twice more off of losing 
pitcher Tom Salsberg in the fifth 
on one hit, two walks and an out- 
field error. 

On Monday against the Bald 
Eagles of Lock Haven, the Sus- 
quehanna bats were silent, as 
they managed only four hits in 
each game and dropped 4-3 and 
5-2 decisions to the Division II 
school. 

Lock Haven scored three times 
in the top of the second on three 
hits against losing pitcher 
Paradine. SU cut the lead to 3-1 
in the fourth when Hanlon 
doubled to start the inning. After 
moving to third on a fly out, the 
junior shortstop scored on an in- 
field out by Smith. 

The Bald Eagles scored a big 
insurance run in the sixth inning 
off of reliever Nelson to up their 
advantage to 4-1. However, the 
Crusaders didn't die as they 
plated two runs in the bottom of 
the seventh on a RBI double by 
Sofio and a run scoring single by 
Joachim, but were unable to com- 
plete the comeback and lost 4-3. 

Susquehanna took a 1-0 lead in 
the bottom of the third inning of 
the second game when Jeff Cole 
walked and stole second. After 
the next two batters were retired, 
Barker came through with a 
single to score Cole and give the 
home squad the lead. 

The advantage was short lived, 
as Lock Haven answered with 
two unearned runs in the top of 
the fourth. The Orange and 
Maroon then used another late 
inning rally to tie the game at 2-2 
and send the game to an extra 
inning, by scoring the tying run 
in the seventh. 

Cole lead off the inning with a 
bunt single and was moved to sec- 
ond by a Mueller sacrifice bunt. 
Hanlon then lined a single to 
right, scoring Cole and the con-, 
test was tied. 

However, a bad call by the um- 
pires in the top of the eighth 
inning allowed the Bald Eagles to 
score three times and pull out the 
5-2 victory. 

Leary, the senior co-captain, 
was brilliant on the mound for 
Susquehanna, giving up three 
earned runs on six hits in pitching 
the complete game. 

The Crusaders are back in 
action tomorrow afternoon, as 
they complete their recent ten 
game homestand with a 1 :00 p.m. 
twinbill against MAC-NW rival 
Elizabethtown in a key early 
season matchup. The Orange and 
Maroon then hit the road on 
Wednesday for two games at 
Scranton starting at 1:00 p.m.

1600-meter relay teams at the 
conference meet each of the past 
two years. 

The 1986 women's MAC Most 
Valuable Performer, Messiah 
senior Jocelyn Wilson, will also 
be in action. Wilson won both the 
shotput and the discus for the sec- 
ond consecutive season. She also 
was the MAC discus champion 
her freshman year, and the win- 
ner of both events at last year's 
Susquehanna Invitational. 

Among BucknelPs competitors 
are senior Vince O'Boyle, junior 
Ken Sevensky, and freshman 
Greg Keller. O'Boyle, finished 
first in the 600-yard run at this 
year's ECC indoor meet and in 
the 800-meter run at the in- 
augural Susquehanna Invita- 
tional in 1985. 

Sevensky won the 1987 ECC 
indoor 1000-yard run and took 
runner-up honors in the mile. In 
the same meet, Keller placed sec- 
ond in the shotput. 

Shippensburg's Kevin Law- 
rence should provide Spangler 
with some stiff competition in the 
sprints. Lawrence, a sophomore, 
is the defending Pennsylvania 



Conference 100 and 200-meter 
dash titlist. 

Joining Wilson in the equally- 
talented women's field are 
Franklin and Marshall's Terri 
Smith, Shippensburg's Kathy 
Stec, Messiah's Kelly Teufel, and 
Susquehanna's Denae Schoner. 

Smith, a junior, was a double- 
winner at Susquehanna last year, 
leading the pack in both the 800 
and 1 500-meter runs. She placed 
eighth in the 1500 at the Division 
III championships. Stec, also a 
junior, was the runner-up in the 



3000-meter run and the sixth- 
place finisher in the 1500 at this 
year's Division II indoor meet. 

Schoner, a senior, leaped to 
Susquehanna's only MAC 
women's title of 1986 with a vic- 
tory in the long jump. She was 
also one of the team's best 
sprinters, and was selected the 
Crusaders' Outstanding Runner 
and Most Valuable Performer. 
Teufel is a sophomore. She is the 
defending MAC 3000 and 
5000-meter runs champion. 



Season Starts 



The Susquehanna University 
women's tennis team, which com- 
piled a pair of three-match 
winning steaks in 1986, begins 
the 1987 campaign Wednesday, 
March 25, with a 3 p.m. home 
match versus York College. 

A trio of losses at the end of 
the season dropped Susquehanna 
to a 6-5 overall record. In the 
Middle Atlantic Conference 
(MAC)-Northwest League, the 
Crusaders finished second with a 
4-1 mark. 



"We must play more consistent 
tennis than we did last year," 
head coach Connie Delbaugh 
said. "We have players who 
would win a match in straight 
sets, and the next time out would 
lose in two sets. It's a matter of 
mental toughness." 

The most consistent player of 
1986 was sophomore Dianne 
Smith. She was 7-2 as a freshman 
at second and third singles to 
garner the team's Most Valuable

Crusaders Up Record 






Many of Central Penn- 
sylvania's best collegiate track 
teams will compete at the third 
annual Susquehanna University 
Invitational beginning at 1 1 a.m. 
Saturday, March 28. 

A total of 1 3 women's and 1 1 
men's squads are scheduled to 
participate in the event, which 
will not involve team scoring. All 
three divisions of the National 
Collegiate Athletic Association 
(NCAA) will be represented at 
the affair. 

In the men's action, the host 
Division III Crusaders will face 
Division I Bucknell University, 
Division II Shippensburg Univer- 
sity, and Messiah College, 
another Division III institution, 
among others. 



Susquehanna has won the 
Middle Atlantic Conference 
(MAC) championship five years 
in a row and has posted 54 con- 
secutive dual-meet victories. The 
Crusaders, who have not lost a 
dual meet since 1979, finished 
seventh at the Division III 
championship in 1985 and 1986. 

Bunnell captured its sixth con- 
secutive East Coast Conference 
(ECC) indoor track title this 
season and won the conference's 
outdoor crown in 1984 and 1985. 
Shippensburg is the defending 
Pennsylvania Conference cham- 
pion, and Messiah placed second 
at last year's MAC meet. 

The women's line-up includes 
three of the top four MAC teams 
of 1986. Messiah earned its third 



SPORTS CORNER 



After picking only one of the 
four NCAA basketball tourna- 
ment regional finals correctly last 
week, I'm going to take another 
shot at it by making my picks for 
the Final Four this weekend in 
New Orleans. 

The first game tomorrow will 
match two Big East teams, Pro- 
vidence and Syracuse, with the 
winner playing the victor of the 
game between Bobby Knight's 
Hoosiers of Indiana and the Run- 
nin' Rebels of UNLV on Monday 
night. 

In the opener, it will be a battle 
between the strong inside game 
of the Orangemen of Syracuse 
and the outstanding outside 
shooting of Providence. 

The front line of Derrick Cole- 
man, Howard Triche and center 
Rony Seikaly give coach Jim 
Boeheim the best inside game 
among the four regional cham- 



pions. Freshman point guard 
Sherman Douglas does an ex- 
cellent job of feeding the big guys 
under the boards and is a capable 
scorer. Greg Monroe is the best 
outside shooter for SU, and if he 
gets on a roll can be deadly from 
three-point range. 

Triche is a steady outside 
shooting forward, who will give 
Syracuse about 10 points a ball 
game and some strength on the 
boards. Coleman, a freshman, is 
considered one of the best first 
year players and can be a 
dominant force in the paint. He is 
an outstanding rebounder, 
averaging 10.5 rebounds per 
game in the tournament, and a 
shot blocking threat. Seikaly is a 

senior who has improved im- 
mensely over his four years at 
Syracuse. The six-foot-eleven 
center is the main reason the 
Orangemen have advanced this 
far, as he is averaging 26 points 

per game in the tourney and over 
nine rebounds per contest. 

Douglas came in to run the 
team after Pearl Washington 
elected to turn pro after his junior 
year last season, and the 
freshman has given this team 
some stability in the backcourt. 
Meanwhile, Monroe gives coach 
Boeheim a good perimiter game

straight conference title last year 
and was trailed by runner-up 
Franklin and Marshall College 
and fourth-place Gettysburg Col- 
lege. Susquehanna ended up 
seventh at the 1986 MAC meet, 
- but a talented group of freshmen 
should propel the Crusaders 
higher this season. 

Individually, Saturday's star- 
studded field features Susquehan- 
na's Mike Spangler, a two-time 
national champion and MAC 
Most Valuable Performer. The 
junior sprinter, won the Division 
III 200-meter dash in 1985 and 
the 400-meter dash last year. In 
addition, Spangler blazed to first 
places in the 1 00, 200, and 
400-meter dashes and anchored 
the Crusaders' victorious 400 and

that allows the inside game to 
open up when he is hitting. 

The biggest weakness for 
Syracuse is their lack of a bench, 
but the job Boeheim has done 
throughout the year has allowed 
them to overcome this. 

Their opponents, the Friars, 
have relied on a great outside 
shooting game to advance to 
New Orleans. Led by guard Billy 
Donovan (26.5 ppg) and coach 
Ricky Pitino, Providence ad- 
vanced by knocking off the top 
two seeds in the Southeast region, 
Georgetown and Alabama. 

Point guard Delray Brooks, a 
transfer student from Indiana, 
runs the show for the Friars, with 
three-point specialist Ernie 'POP' 
Lewis at the one forward spot. 
Donovan and Lewis have each 
made more three-point baskets 
(96 and 94) than Syracuse has as 
a team (93). 

Senior center Tom Kipfer is 
the main rebounder for coach 
Pitino's squad, with shot blocker 
Sean Wright playing the other 
forward position. 

The inside game of Providence 
was non existent in the first three 
rounds of the tournament, but 
against Georgetown, they came 
around and carried the team to 
victory in just Pitino's second 
year of coaching at the school. 

Looking over all the match 
ups, including the fact that Pro- 
vidence hasn't beaten Syracuse in 
fifteen years, I'm going to pick 
the Orangemen to advance to the 
finals with a five point win. 

The second game will match 
the well coached, half court of 
fensive team from Indiana 
against the fast breaking style of 
UNLV. 

Indiana, 27-4, have been 
through the rigors of a tough Big 



The Susquehanna University 
baseball team, despite dropping a 
pair of games to Lock Haven on 
Monday, is off to one of their 
best starts ever, after sweeping 
doubleheaders from Division I 
Bucknell and Middle Atlantic 
Conference foe Wilkes, to up 
their record to 8-5. 

In the first game against the 
visiting Bisons, freshman Matt 
Guinan picked up his first col- 
legiate victory in a 4-3 SU win 
over their local rivals. 

The Crusaders got on the 
board in the bottom of the first 
inning, when Drew Paradine 
worked a lead-off walk. After an 
out, Jim Hanlon singled, and 
both runners came in to score on 
a triple by Dan Barker. 

Bucknell got a run back in the 
third inning to cut the lead to 2-1, 
but the Orange and Maroon 
came right back to take back a 
two run advantage, when 
Paradine scored on Hanlon's sec 
ond single of the game. 



Ten schedule. Led by All- 
American guard Steve Alford 
and an experienced front line of 
Ricky Calloway, Daryl Thomas, 
and Dean Garrett give Knight a 
chance for his second National 
Champion in the 1980's. 

Point guard Keith Smart gives 
Indiana a bit of a spark in their 
running game and he will play a 
key role in getting back to stop 
the UNLV fast break. 

Alford is an experienced senior 
who has been through the wars 
before. He is very adept at using 
screens to get open for outside 
shots, and if he is on, he is one of 
the best perimiter shooters in the 
nation. 

The three big men will be relied 
on to pull down missed shots and 
set the screens to allow Alford to 
get open. Also if the outside game 
isn't going well, they will have to 
pick up the scoring if they are to 
have any chance to win. 

Indiana's bench doesn't see 
much playing time, but forward 
Steve Eyl will be called on to spell 
Calloway who has been bothered 
by a bad knee. Bobby Knight 
coached teams are also known for 
their good man-to-man defense 
and this wHl also be a key factor 
in Saturday's game. 

Jerry Tarkanian and the Run 
nin' Rebels have lit up the 
scoreboard all year, especially 
from three-point range, in posting 
their 36-1 record. Their only loss 
of the season was a controversial 
loss to Oklahoma in January. 

Point guard Mark Wade makes 
the team go as he hands out over 
ten assists a game, and can score 
in double figures. Freddie Banks 
and Gerald Paddio lead the three 
point brigade, while Armon 
Gilliam and Jarvis Basnight con- 
trol the paint for UNLV. 



A two-run double by Tim 
Herbst tied the game at 3-3 in the 
fourth inning for the Bison, but 
Susquehanna got the winning 
run in the bottom of the inning 
on a two-out infield single by 
Paradine. 

Pete Joachim, who had two 
hits in the game, started the rally 
with a one-out single and moved 
to second on a walk to Brett 
Crabtree. A force play at second 
moved Joachim to third, before 
he scored when Paradine's slow 
roller got by the pitcher. 

Guinan pitched the first 5-M 
innings, yielding three runs on six 
hits, while striking out three. Bill 
Sofio came on to earn his first 
save of the year, by retiring four 
of the five batters he faced. 

SU completed their first sweep 
of Bucknell since 1979, with 
another one-run victory, 6-5. 

The visitors jumped on win- 
ning pitcher Glen Leary for five 
runs in the first two innings, 
Continued on p. 11 



This is a team that will run you 
out of the gymnasium if they get 
their chance and play very tough 
defense. If opposing teams sit 
back in a zone, they will destroy 
them with their strong outside 
game, but if teams go to a man 
defense, they will blow by them 
with their speed. 

The Rebels bench is suspect, 
but with the quality athletes they 
possess, the bench will not play a 
key role. Also, they have not 
played the quality of schedule the 
other three teams have, but once 
you've got this far that doesn't 
matter. 

With Indiana playing their 
tough man-to-man defense, the 
Rebels may have trouble, as we 
saw in the West regional final 
against Iowa. If Indiana can get 
decent scoring from their inside 
men, and get Alford free for free 
outside shots, the Hoosiers will 
win. I'm going to go with Indiana 
in a tight one by a three point 
shot. 

In the finals, the back court of 
Alford and Smart will be able to 
handle the guards from Syracuse 
and the big men of Indiana will 
get Seikaly in foul trouble and the 
Hoosiers will win their second na 
tional title in seven years.

"Freshman Experience 



a 



A Committee Forming 



a new committee is being 
formed at SU that will be work- 
ing to improve the "freshman ex- 
perience". It started with Dean 
Jeanne Neff, from academic af- 
fairs, having meetings with the 
deans of the different schools. 
She then asked Dr. Ron Dotterer 
to head the task force committee. 

The committee members were 
selected from various academic 
departments, office of admis- 
sions, student life office, and a 
student from each class. The 
registrar and chaplain were also 
asked to serve. 

The new committee is designed 
to consider what the freshman 
year is and what can be done to 
improve it. Although the group's 
recommendations and ideas are 
still somewhat in the making, 
there are hopes to transform 
existing courses to instill a desire 
for learning. The committee will 
work with the current freshmen 



core courses and teachers. Dot- 
terer explained that most 
students do not perceive the pur- 
pose of the core in the same man- 
ner as the staff. For students, 
core means "requirement". For 
faculty, it means "central to 
learning". Differences such as 
this are the focus of this new task 
force. 

They will also be working with 
the orientation and orientation to 
academe programs, to make them 
more meaningful and effective. 
Dotterer sums up the basic pur- 
pose of the committee and its pur- 
pose to "... assess the first year ex- 
perience from the point of view 
of students, faculty and staff, in 
the classroom and outside." 

Interaction is a key element in 
the goals of the program, be- 
tween faculty, students, staff, and 
peers. More is hoped to be done 
with peer interaction and ad- 
vising for and incentive to learn- 
ing. 



The general questions of the 
committee are: What would 
make a superior year for 
freshmen? And what makes the 
freshmen year different from the 
others? Says Dotterer "It's an 
ambitious program. I think it's 
vital that the first year becomes a 
model for the ones that follow." 

The meetings of this newly 
formed task force are open to 
anyone interested. Student and 
faculty expectations of the first 
year will be discussed at the next 
meeting. The agenda is hoped to 
be set up this year, and recom- 
mendations will be made by the 
end of 1987. 

Any student response would be 
appreciated. If you want more in- 
formation or have any 
opinions, you can contact Ron 
Dotterer or any other committee 
member.

Lutheran Youth Day Is Set 



On Saturday, April 4 from 8:30 
a.m. to 4:00 p.m., hundreds of 
high school students will flood 
the gym for a day of fun, music, 
and worship. The event: 
Lutheran Youth Day. 

Lutheran Youth Day is an an- 
nual function within the Central 
Pennsylvania Synod, to which 
Susquehanna belongs. Every 
year, SU hosts high-school age 
kids of Lutheran background 
who live within the synod, which 
extends from Maryland north to 
the New York border. This year, 
the program is being coordinated 
by Pastor Chris Thomforde, 
university chaplain, and Linda 
Frees, deacon to the church at 
SU. 

Pastor Thomforde cited three 



main benefits of the Lutheran 
Youth Day program. First, it is a 
way for Susquehanna to serve the 
body of the Lutheran church to 
which it belongs. Second, it 
brings high school students from 
all over the tri-state area together 
with a common bond, which 
helps them to understand more 
fully the meaning of brother- 
hood. Third, it serves to in- 
troduce prospective applicants to 
SU and its broad religious life 
program. 

The day begins with a large 
group worship service, followed 
by small-group meetings called 
electives in which the students 
discuss topics of interest related 
to high school and/or college, 
from a Christian point of view. 



AIDS Info. Session Planned 



Also included is Serendipity, a 
period of games and fellowship. 
The day will close with a speech 
by SU student Mark Stoddard, 
and a gospel sing-along led by 
the popular folk group Song. 

Student leaders for Lutheran 
Youth Day include: Linda Frees, 
chairperson; Cindy Shawver, 
electives; Mike Ludwig, logistics; 
Gary Daniels, meals; Stacy 
Brechbiel, Serendipity; and 
Brigitte Gehner, publicity. 

Any SU student or faculty 
member wishing to take part in 
the group sing-along on Satur 
day, may come to the gym from 
9:15-9:14 a.m. or 3-4 p.m., when 
Song will be performing.

Federal health officials 
estimate that approximately 
30,000 people either now have 
AIDS or have already died of it 
s 'nce 1981 in the United States 
atone. By the end of 1991, they 
estimate that 270,000 cases of 
AIDS will have occurred, 
suiting in 179,000 deaths. 
AIDS could become the number 



L 



one cause of death among people 
ages 15-45 years of age. Soon 
well all be sharing some aspect of 
.our lives with people who are in- 
fected with AIDS. Now is the 
time, therefore, to understand ex- 
actly what that mean's. To a 
greater or lesser degree, we are all 
frightened of contracting this 
dread disease and, indeed, there 
are dangers and risks we should 



know about as well as precau- 
tions we should take. Become 
more informed about AIDS. At- 
tend an information session for 
students sponsored by the Health 
Center of Susquehanna Universi- 
ty; presented by the Pennsylvania 
Department of Health. Monday, 
April 27, from 1 - 3 p.m. in 
Meeting Rooms 1 - 4 in the Cam 
pus Center. 




The SU Track and Field Inviational was held last Satur- 
day and a good time was had by all. 

Hazing Examined 



The topic of hazing has 
become an extremely controver 
sial subject across the United 
States over the last year. So much 
so, the government has passed 
new laws defining hazing and giv- 
ing stiffer penalties for violaters. 
But will any of these laws actual- 
ly have any effect on fraternities 
here on campus? 

Hazing is defined by the 
United States government as 
"any action or situation which 
recklessly or intentionally en- 
dangers the mental or physical 
health or safety of a student." 
The term also includes "any in- 
voluntary action such as forced 
calisthenics, exposure to the 
elements, forced consumption of 
any food, alcohol, drug or any 
other substance, and any activity 
which would subject the in- 
dividual to extreme mental stress, 
such as sleep deprivation." 

Many of those who are in 
volved in the "Greek" system say 
that hazing does not exist here on 
campus. "The idea of pledging is 
to let the pledges get to know the 
brothers as well as each other", ' 
says one individual who wishes to 
remain nameless. "Everyone has 
to go through the same things 
when pledging." 

The keg races pledge walks, 
and the kidnappings that occur in 
the middle of the night are sup- 
posed to build the character of 
the prospective brothers. Is this. 



taken too far at times? Is there a 
risk involved? 

Pledges don't seem to think so. 
"While alot of the things we do 
are off the wall", said one pledge, 
"there's never been a time when I 
have felt threatened. If you just 
remember that so many people 
have done these things before, 
you can end up having alot of 
fun." 

"Hazing is a forced activity. 
Any time a pledge does not want 

to do something, he is free to take 
off his pin and leave." 

Hazing is something that is 
always going to go on. While 
there are tougher laws which 
now make hazing a misdemeanor 
in the third degree, very little can 
be done with regards to enforce 
ment. 

Most all the events involving 
pledges occur behind closed 
doors. If anything was to happen, 
it would be too late before 
anyone would find out. 

The new laws introduced by 
the government will not have an 
adverse effect on the Greek 
system here on campus. Frater- 
nities have the defense of saying 
that a pledge is always free to 
leave if he finds that fraternity 
life 'is not for him." As long as 
they have a way to "beat the 
rap", the act of hazing — despite 
its dangers — will remain an im 
portant part of the Greek system.

Speaking Out About McCarthy's Visit 



Colman McCarthy, a man 
committed to speaking out for 
nonviolence, visited our campus 
last week. I had thought that the 
reaction to his visit would be 
critical, but open-minded. 
However, after his lecture on 
Friday evening, I found it curious 
to hear comments such as 
"everything he said was so wishy- 
woshy," "that was a waste of my 
time," and "he's just an idealist." 
Since that time, I have been 
wondering if it is the concept of 
nonviolence or if it is the 
presentation of something 
different that has caused the 
uneasy feeling. 



When I think of the comments 
mentioned above, and the 
evident apprehension toward 
nonviolence, I wonder what 
makes people think that violence 
has any value. Violence has had 
an increasing role in situations of 
conflict— in the international 
system as well as here on campus. 
Its use, or even the threat of it, 
only serves to perpetuate further 
use and a sense of insecurity. A 
prominent example is the arms 
race build-up. Continued increase 
in nuclear weaponry serves only 
to give a nation more weapons, 
and to leave another nation 
insecure and determined to build 



Our Comer 



Last week I said that it was too 
■arly to analyze the effects of 
(teene White'? death. Now it is a 
■veek later and the effects are still 
is yet unknown. I'm sure some 
people have given closer thought 
to their actions and perhaps been 
a little bit more careful, but 
overall, it is too early to tell. 
What is known is that we will 
continue on, hopefully with 
greater awareness, so that the 
same mistake will not occur 
again. 

As far as the University is con- 
cerned, some steps have been 
taken to offer alternatives to 
alcoholic-events. The school held 



a non-alcoholic dance in Smith 
last weekend and everyone 
seemed to have fun. I'm not say- 
ing it was the best time of 
everyone's life, but it was 
something to do that people en- 
joyed and alcohol was not the 
central object. Compared to the 
way things have been all year, 
that is saying a lot. 

There seem to be other things 
occurring, but right now, I don't 
know enough about them to 
relay any information. The 
largest portion of information 
will come with the findings of the 
committee in late April. Until 
then, it is on to other topics.

their own arsenal. 

The concept of nonviolence is 
based on the value we place on 
survival, not on a willingness to 
be annihilated by anyone who 
wants to walk all over us. Of 
prime value is the preservation of 
human life and dignity. However, 
the modern concept of non- 
violence demands more than the 
obvious, but still abstract and 
theoretical components. Many 
who deny nonviolence as a 
credible principle assume that 
nonviolence has only moral 
implications. If violence was only 
evaluated by its moral value, the 
problems we face today would be 



And speaking of other topics: 
although the weather this week 
was to the contrary, Spring has 
definately arrived at SU. The 
signs can be seen all around, and 
often heard, too. Along with 
Spring has come Spring Fever, 
which hits us all (I know my 
interest in doing work is mild to 
say the least— only a month to 
go, though). 

Some of the signs of Spring are 
seeing people out on the fields 

throwing a frisbee, football, or 
whatever and having a good 
time. I saw some people grilling 
up some steaks one afternoon 
and it looked like Aikens had a 

dorm barbeque or something the 
other night. Also, the sunbathers 
are beginning to come out in 
force. 

People seem a little friendlier 
when the weather is warm. The 
whole campus seems to be a little 
less intense, like people are taking 
things a little less seriously. I 
think you need to do this from 
time to time, or you start 
bouncing off walls. 

This lighter attitude is just in 
time, as Greek Week is here, 
which is a fun time for all con- 
cerned, and Parents Weekend is 
just around the corner. Right 
after Parents Weekend comes 
Spring Weekend and Alumni 
Day, so the festivities are coming 
quickly as the year winds down. 
It should be a decent month for 
activities at SU, and we're ready 
for it. 

Two final notes before I wrap 
this one up. First, don't forget to 
stop by the gym and donate 
blood. They will be there until 5 
p.m. today (Friday), so let's give 
for the cause, and no I don't 
believe that you gave at the of- 
fice. Second, tomorrow is ac- 
cepted students' visitation day, so 
look for some new faces on 
campus. If any of you new faces 
are reading this, welcome to SU.

even more complicated and 
threatening. Violence, as a 
practical agent, leads to more 
violence, and greater injustice. 

Yes— a concept calling for 
human unity and related 
principles is a seductive one, and 
can even be politically 
destructive. It can be a 
convenient excuse for inaction, 
and even blame. A distinction 
must be made between a floating 
concept of social harmony that 
creates a phony air, and a 
genuine committment toward a 
real agreement that openly 
acknowledges respect for both 
opponents. Furthermore, it is a 
misconception to think that 
proponents of nonviolence do not 
engage in critical evaluation and 
discussion of the principle. 
Nonviolence, as a practical agent, 
does present immediate and 
HORN RECITAL 

Tonight at 8 p.m. there will be 
a student recital given by Bruce 
Weaver, French horn, and 
Celeste Nowosielski, piano. 
Featured will be works by Dukas, 
Read, Damase, Mozart, and 
C.P.E. Bach. 

Bruce is a senior music educa- 



potential dangers to organizing 
processes and strength of 
structure. Individuals committed 
to its cause need to be honestly 
aware and questioning of these 
dangers. 

Finally, when I was confronted 
a day or so after McCarthy's 
lecture, I was told, "If you were 
to remain nonviolent in the face 
of advancing troops, you would 
loose your life." If violence and 
nonviolence are put on the level 
of preserving the value of human 
life, then both principles must be 
viewed in a moral context, not 
just nonviolence. If violence can 
be considered to be "practical," 
then nonviolence, too, must be 
considered as a practical agent— 
not in terms of wishy-woshy or 
not wishy-woshy.

Mr. C. Scott Smith. Celeste is 
also a senior music ed major, with 
a piano concentrate. Her piano

XVII. Don't Miss Ladies Night 

Hi kids! What's that? You 
have nothing to do tonight? Well, 
have I got a double-whammy for 
you! You have the privilege of 
experiencing not one, but TWO 
great dramatic pieces this 
evening. The time: 8 pm. The 
place: Ben Apple Theatre. • 

The fun kicks off with 
"Graceland," a short, but 
comedy packed play about two 
totally different women waiting 
for the home of Elvis to open to 
the public. Both women insist on 
being the "first one" to enter their 
idol's home, and neither are 
willing to budge. The raucous 
and overbearing "Bev" is played 
by Bridget McKinley and the in- 
nocent, but slow "Rudy" is 
played by Leslie Reppart. 
"Graceland" is directed by senior 
Megan Moyer and is guaranteed 
laughs . . . just the right touch to 
start your weekend! 

Following "Graceland" is "The 
Effect of Gamma Rays on Man- 
in-the-Moon Marigolds." (Whew, 
say that one 3 times fast!) No, it's 
not next week's science project, 
it's a play. But this is not just any 
play. "Marigolds" is a touching 



SELECTIVE GRANT 
AWARDED TO 
SUSQUEHANNA 

Susquehanna University is 
among 28 U.S. colleges and 
universities to be awarded a grant 
by the Consortium for the Ad- 
vancement of Private Higher 
Education (CAPHE) to meet the 
changing needs of students. 

Jeanne Neff, Susquehanna 
vice president for academic af- 
fairs, said 850 institutions were 
eligible for the program. Of those 
institutions, 150 were invited to 
apply for the grant and 28 re- 
ceived awards. 

Susquehanna will use its 
$17,305 award to provide 
workshops and other programs 
which will improve the strategic 
planning skills of deans and 
department heads. 

CAPHE President Michael 
O'Keefe said, "It is important 
that independent colleges and 
universities have the ability to 
strengthen programs in order to 
offer students the highest quality 
of education available. They 
must also be able to compete with 
larger institutions in attracting 
the best students. These projects 
provide them with the resources 
to attain these goals."

drama of a young, extremely 
timid, girl named Tillie and her 
home life with her loud, often ob- 
noxious, sister Ruth and their 
alcoholic mother, Beatrice. Tillie 

finds her escape of this home life 
through her love of science. 
"Marigolds" stars Cyndi Logan as 
Tillie, Sara-Page Hall (actress in 

residence) as Beatrice, and Chris- 
> ty Winters as Ruth. An im- 
pressive performance is given by 
Kris Davis as Nanny, and Beth 
Heffner provides comic relief as 
Janice. This show is directed by 
faculty member, Lynne Porter. 

With all-female casts and 
direction, this is truly Ladies 
Night, but don't let that scare 
you guys, these plays will be just 
as entertaining for you, and 

maybe you can pick up a date 
backstage! For all you lazy 
people, these plays are both 
taking place in Ben Apple 
Theatre, so you don't even have 

to move from your seat after 
"Graceland" to see "Marigolds." 
(I thought that would appeal to 
you, Lance!) And if, for some ab- 
surd reason, you can't make this 
impressive Friday night debut, 



you can catch it tomorrow (Satur- 
day, that is) same BAT-time, 
same BAT-channel. (1 hope at 
least a few of you understood 
that word play.) 

Now, Todd Murray would 
probably kill me if I didn't men- 
tion that SPOTLIGHT '87 will 
take place on Thursday in the 
cafeteria, SO DONT MISS IT. 
This is the talent show, and it's a 
lot of fun— just ask anyone who 
went last year. You don't have 
anything better to do on Thurs- 
day night, so be there! 

Oh, by the way, Arts Alive got 
approved to be a project again 
next year, which just goes to 
show-YOU CANT GET RID 
OF US! If you need our publicity 
or information, call ext. 3928. 
DONT forget to pick up your 
tickets for "Amadeus." No, I 
don't have time to tell you what it 
is. Trust me on this one, ok? Just 
pick up your tickets now (they're 
FREE with your SU I.D.) and 111 
explain it to you next week. 

For those of you who liked our 
poem last week, thanks! And for 
those of you who didn't, 1 don't 
care what you think. Until next 
week, I miss Bridget!

NOTES FROM 



SU Choir Performs 



Men and Women of Sus- 
quehanna: 

About two years ago, I was on 
a train passing through Gary, 
Indiana and was quite impressed 
by a scene which passed by my 
window. Let me share with you 
what I saw. 

The sky was a dull grey, 
somewhat polluted by the smoke 
belching forth from the smoke 
stacks of large steel factories. Just 
beyond the iron ore dusted 
factories, the waters of Lake 
Michigan lapped up against bulk 
heads. Old tires, beer cans, oil 
slicks rode the waves to the piers. 
On the other side of the tracks, 
cars and trucks and people darted 
about busily. The people in my 
train were all a bit edgy because 
the train was late and we seemed 
to be making very slow progress. 
In the midst of the industry, the 
busy street life, and the desire to 
move faster, a man knelt down 
beside the train tacks to put some 
flowers in his garden. His yard 
bordered the tracks and he had 
turned over the soil and 

f 



developed a very nice flower 
garden there. 

While everyone else was in the 
business of buying and selling 
and getting ahead, this man 
seemed to me to be a person who 
wanted to make a contribution of 
beauty in an otherwise drab and 
self centered environment. 

I sense that we are at that point 
of the semester where we are 
busy, a bit tired from the 
academic year which is almost 
past, and a bit anxious about the 
summer which will be upon us 
soon. I hope you will join me in 
following the example of the man 
by the tracks in doing some plant- 
ing. We each need to make con 
tributions to our life together in 
order to beautify it. We each 
need to take time to do something 
to enrich the life of a roommate 
or a colleague. We need each 
other's industry and we need 
each other's gestures of enrich 
ment as well. 

For the greater glory of God!

The internationally-known 
Susquehanna University Concert 
Choir of Selinsgrove, Pa. will per- 
form at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 5 at 
Weber Chapel Auditorium. The 
concert is free to the public. 

The Concert Choir, a highly 
select group of 65 choral musi- 
cians, will perform under the 
direction of Cyril Stretansky, 
associate professor of music at 
Susquehanna. 

The local performance is part 
of the group's 1987 tour of 11 
cities in Pennsylvania and New 
York. In recent years, the Con- 
cert Choir has performed 
throughout the U.S. and Austria, 
England, France, Italy and Mex- 
ico, and has been featured nation- 
wide on National Public Radio, 
the Armed Forces, and the 
Lutheran Series of the Protestant 
Hour. 

The 1987 Tour marks the 15th 
year for Stretansky as director of 
the concert choir. A graduate of 
Mansfield and Temple Univer 
sities, Stretansky is frequently 
sought as a guest conductor, 
choral clinician, and adjudicator. 
For eight years he was artistic 
director and conductor of the 



Rome International Choral 
Festival where he conducted 
massed choruses at St. Peter's 
Basilica and performances for 
Vatican Radio and Radio Free 
Europe. He also has been guest 
conductor for the Mexican Inter- 
national Choral Festival and the 
Pennsylvania All-State Chorus.

ALPHA DELTA PI 

Hey Dudes! 

What's the scoop? I'm the new- 
ly elected reporter and as all the 
Pi's know I'm extremely excited 
about my dirty office. Be careful, 
Alice Body, I'm watching you. 

First on the agenda is our long 
list of Birthday Babes including 
"Dirty Sue Zabransky", Sarah 
Reynolds, Leanne Reed, Kim 
Paulsen, Beth Ann Biml, Barb 
Cook and Polly Cooper. Enjoy 
yourselves girls - celebrate the A 
D Pi way! 

To our neighbors at 305, if you 
need to borrow our facilities they 
are more than available. No need 
to turn to mother nature. What 
friendly neighbors we are, huh? 

Just to get Colleen Kosa's 
schedule straight - you have class 
MWF at 12:30 - but, when do 
you take your bubble baths?! 

I'm sure all the graduating Pi's 
are psyched for a radical spring. 
Don't forget to attend those 
classes - Kristin Meinig is always 
watching. Anyone could tell Son 
ja Wong is a graduate with her 
new "Hot Rod". Just a small 
graduation present, right Son? 



To my little Lynda Scimeca • so 
much for shatter-proof glass. 
Gotta watch out for those 
unidentified flying objects 
"FOUR". I'm sure those playful 
Reed boys were just practicing up 
for the big tournament. 

If you're looking for a hip place 
to dine, go to the Golden Corral. 
We had an intense Pi gathering 
there - see Tracy Wonsidler for 
bargain details. Also don't forget 
to check out the new kittens on 
Orange Street - Susie Bracken, 
Kathy Rave, Claudia Kuhn and 
Merry Cook are proud new mom- 
mies of 1 -5. 

The sophomore spring break 
expedition was highlighted with 
Amy "Toy" Baran and Jen 
Miller's attempt at washing the 
dishes. Stick to the dishes next 
time girls, I'm sure someone else 
would have done the floor assign- 
ment! 

Finally, Attention All Eligible 
Men: The A D Pi spring formal is 
coming up - 1 would be on good 
behavior if I were you. Pam 
Culos says "they won't let 
naughty boys and girls on the 
bus." 

Well, that's about all on the A 
D Pi front .... Have an exciting 
weekend kids. Good Luck to all 
Greeks in the Greek Week 
festivities. See ya next week. 

Love and Loyally, 

—Nan Pat 

P.S. Alpha Delta Pi would like to 

wish Kent Bergy luck in the Mr. 

S.U. Contest. 

P.S.S. To our ever-enthusiastic 
pledges: Gotta like that Tastee 
Freeze huh? 



PHI MU DELTA 

To open, sincere congratula- 
tions go out to the men who will 
lead Phi Mu Delta in the near 
future. They are as follows: 
President-Richard Derrick; Vice- 
President of Membership-Charles 
Buckley; Vice-President of 
Finance-Joseph Wolfe; Vice- 
President of Property and 
Records-Peter DiGiacomo; Vice- 
President of Pledge Education- 
Peter Steinmetz; Chaplain- 
Robert Lussier; and Sergeant at - 
Arms-Mark McGlaughlin. Good 
luck, the future of Phi Mu Delta 
rests in your hands. 




Phi Mu Delta's darling Pledges 
have been extremely busy as of 
late. Their past weekend con- 
sisted of the traditional Slave 
Auction, which Gene-o Cautillo 
earned upwards of $70 in a 
bidding war between the past and 
the present; Gene's adorable little 
Robin finally won out, and had 
to re-budget for the rest of the 
term as a result. On Saturday, the 
Pledge Class floundered for 40 
laps around the pool in order to 
raise money for the Ronald 
McDonald House in Danville. 
An extremely safe estimate of 
$1000 will be donated on their 
behalf, way to work, sons. 

And now, people, it's on to 
Senior Profiles. Here we go, 
Senior Profile, novel style: The 
night, late in September, was 
deathly still. Crickets chirped, in 
the distance a dog howled, the 
full moon the only witness to his 
cry. Suddenly, the stillness was 
shattered with a force greater 
than Thor's Thunderbolts. The 
shout rang out across the land, 
"PEOPLE!!!, CALL ME 
VITZER!" Yes, it was sad but 
true, Brian S. Kahanovitz had ar- 
rived. For the next nine months 
the once peaceful campus was 
shattered by other cries, in- 
cluding but not limited to, "I 
LOVE ANDREA; LET'S SING 
RUGBY SONGS; NO, WHAT 
CAUSES AIDS IS...; and, 
C'MON DOWN TO THE SUB, 
I'M WORKING!!" Brian, known 
for taking intense interest in the 
extremely boring, plans on 
marrying Andrea and becoming a 
foot surgeon for East African 
pygmy children. We wish you 
well, Bri. 

On to our second edition. 
"What do you mean by that? 
Don't raise your voice to me! I'm 
not shouting!" Yes, folks, it's 5:30 
Friday evening and Kevin 
"Whitey" McCaffery is on the 
prowl. Staring straight through 
the person he's talking to, with 
eyes needing a 55 gallon dose of 
Visine, he storms off into the 
darkness, forsaking his Mighty 
Max Thunder Cruiser for a ride 
in his, uh, Cousin Mel's Z28. 
Next stop, McDonalds, where he 
consumes 14 Big Macs, 1 3 Jumbo 
Fries, a six piece. ..Then 
homeward, where a sudden flood 
of affection forces Mel to the 
floor. Saturday, 10:30 A.M. 
"What happened last night?" 



Well, whatever it was, Y.T., look 
out, cause Tim's telling Mom. As 
for future plans, let's hope big- 
cheese Uncle Mike is coming 
through. 

A few quick notes— James 
"Higgs" Higgins turned the big 2 
on Thursday and is reading this 
through one blood-shot pair of 
eyes, POW award will be divided 
three ways to Rick "The Tree" 
Stumpf, John "Go-Go" DelVec- 
chio, and Mark "Dexter" Manley 
for their daring attempt at Tar- 
ring and Feathering Brother 
Chuck Buck. 

Enough Said, 
—James George Harris and 
Timothy Michael McCaffery 
P.S. Don't ask about my 
arm— it's fine. 

P.P.S. Don't worry Jerry, it's on- 
ly a brownie. 

KAPPA DELTA 

Well, I realize that last week's 
column wasn't too exciting, but 
raising money to prevent child 
abuse is a serious matter which 
needed to be dealt with 
seriously.. .So, we KDs raised an 
overwhelming $2164.57 for the 
prevention of child abuse. It just 
goes to show that when KDs 
unite and put everything they've 
got into something, they get great 
results! 

Some weekend tidbits: Sister 
Trisha Hill came up for a visit 
and kidnapped some of her 
"kids", holding them against their 
will (yeah, sure) at Sister Laura 
Beckie's apt. They even made a 
hit video at Laura's— It'll be out 
in the summer, starring Sisters 
Liz Kelly, Laura Fattman and 
Laura Crothers! Sister Sue Can- 
none had quite a fall on Sat. 
night— She received a standing 
ovation at Glen Leary's. Sisters 
Maureen Hassett and Sue Rattay 
are looking superbly french fried. 
Sister Denise Witner went 
4-wheeling! The Juniors got 
treated to Pizza Hut, because 
their overall GPA was the 
highest— yumm meal. Sister 
Laura Fattman had some 
problem calculating how many 
people will be in how many con- 
dos at Ocean City...How many 
dumb things can Fatts say at one 
meal? Sister Jeanne Heytmeijer 
was taking notes on the whole 
thing, so ask her. One final note 
about last weekend— Sister Lyn- 
da Buck has a message for Sister 
Patti Corwell: "111 get you back!"

Let's see, the Blood Drive has 
been taking place all day today. 
Greek Week starts Sat. with 
Greek Olympics— good luck to 
everyone! And. ..(drum roll 
please) Sat. night is the KD 
Spring Formal! Are you psyched 
or are you psyched!?! Djs Greg 
and Todd will be providing the 
entertainment— well be dancing 
until all hours of the evening. Is 
anyone waiting until Fri. night to 
ask? Hey— who's been nomi 
nated Mr. SU? Ah, yes "him!" 

Oh! - I almost forgot! A few 
notes about the Pledges. First of 
all, girls, keep those grades up. I 
know that the weather has been 
beautiful, but Pledges must go to 
class instead of sunbathing. Con- 
grats to the Newlywed Game 
winners Sisters Vicki Mangus 
and her Little Melissa Challice! 
Are you guys sure you dind't 
cheat? Pledge Karen Nelson, we 
hope you're feeling better. I know 
everyone keeps asking what hap- 
pened, but it just shows how 
much we care. What about those 
bed sheets, girls? Always 
remember and never forget: 
Sisters get the last laugh - 1 guess 
a bed for a shower bucket is a fair 
trade. One should never remove a 
Sister's shower bucket without 
permission (naughty, naughty — 
Pledges should know better!). 
Will the retaliation ever end?? 

1 guess that's all from the KD 
homefront! Ill be back next 
week, if anyone returns from the 
formal. Maybe we should all take 
break a little early. That does it. 
Go easy! Take it all with a grain 
of salt (but what does it mean?)! 
Enjoy each and every moment! 
With KD love and mine, 
-P. La Belle 
P.S.— Sisters Christina Rigby and 
Patti Scotton have just one thing 
to say: "I gave at the 
office."— Sure you did. 



ZETA TAU ALPHA 

Is everyone psyched for the 
last 5 weeks! YEH! The count 
down begins! I've noticed on 
those nice spring days when the 
sun is shining bright, administra- 
tion, faculty, and students sit out- 
doors and enjoy the sunshine, 
while wearing those Foster 
Grantz, wish that the academic 
year was over, and fantasize 
about their summer adventures. 
Well, back to reality, and the 
adventures of Zeta Day. Sister 
Bonnie Herb had a memorable 
day. Did you take a short cut on 
the way home? By the way Bon- 
Bon, "how do you get back on 
the turnpike?" Are you a little 
low on oil, Sister Sarah Walter? 
Sister Katie Geoghan, "the exit 
was back there!" "Oh well, let's 
get lost in the parking lot." Read 
any good maps lately, Sister Val 
Hansen? All-in-all, it was a 
rewarding ... and interesting 
day. 



Friday, April 3, 1987-THE CRUSADER-Page 5 



The sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha 
would like to thank our ten 
awesome, enthusiastic, and 
always-thoughtful pledges for the 
ice cream scoop party on Friday 
night. All who attended had a 
bowl! (Ha, Ha) Also on Friday 
night, the Zeta Theatre ran "The 
Sure Thing" and "Dawn of the 
Dead". Sisters Jean Ann Swann, 
Laura Marr, and Meg Farmer, 
"what is she singing?" "Is is a dif- 
ferent language?" Pledge Patty 
Kloss was enjoying herself so 
much, she couldn't take her eyes 
off the screen for a minute. 

Looks to me like the final 
weeks are going to be mighty 
busy on campus — so GET 
READY ZETAS! I'm glad to see 
that many ZTAs, Greeks, and 
students in the SU community 
participated in the annual Blood 
Drive. I hope the Greek com- 
munity isn't feeling too weak to 
Olympicize starting tomorrow. 
And ladies, get the binoculars out 
for the Mr. S.U. Contest on Sun- 
day night. Maybe Dracula stayed 
the weekend, and decided to 
enter. Hey, what an idea for a 
formal date? Only three weeks 
left, girls! 

After this workout-of-a- 
weekend, I think everyone will be 
ready and looking forward to a 
"bunny" of an Easter Break! (Ha, 
Ha) 

Lastly, some late breaking 
news - Sister Beth Noble, "what 
kind of spider was that?" Sister 
Laura Marr, "did baby fall down 
and go boom?" and Sister Sarah 
Walter, "how many signatures 
did you get?" 

THE END - 'til next week. 

In Zeta love,

PHI SIGMA KAPPA 

Greetings from the Ave. I am 
very happy to start this article off 
by stating that the stomach virus 
came to 403, wreaked its havoc 
°n us, and has left accordingly. 
Well, we've got four new ugly 
brothers to add to our motley 
frew they are Mike Drummond, 
Richard Heffley, Scott "Raccoon- 
fead" Smith, and Matt 
"Shotgun" McHenry ("guys, 
shutup and watch the movie!") 
for thanks go to Andy Bowman 
"nd ieff Can for "the pad." With 
'be indoor soccer season over, 
We 're looking forward to sweep- 
■"8 the softball league. All I want 
j°toow is why wasn't Randy 
Noonan able to ship his crowd off 
tojowson State? And, Keith 
ktf' Bauman also suffered 
*hen his road-trip was cancelled 
j° Lehigh due to lack of interest. 
*nnis Sansiveri's family of in- 
stable toys is growing with the 
^PPy addition of "Bull"... Butt's 
** Playmate. Tomorrow (31 



March) brings on the last Dead 
date in Philly, which Pres. Yori, 
"Chip" Hilker, "Spaceman" 
Lande and myself will be attend- 
ing. We have a feeling transporta- 
tion should be NO problem. 
Speaking of bands, keep your 
eyes peeled and your ears open 
for the arrival of "Bottom's Up!", 
under the respectful direction of 
Mr. Carl "Bingo" Gordinier. We 
must re-schedule the long 
awaited clavicle. ("Yeah, and 
how about the charity run, Sid?") 
Happy birthdays go out to Mike 
Drummond, Jim Hilker and 
George Zip. What really gets me 
steamed is that we've got to wait 
a good year or so until "Abbey 
Road" will be released on com- 
pact disc. Robert "Snoopy" An- 
cipink has been nominated as our 
candidate for "Mr. S.U."....the 
only problem is that which of his 
many talents shall he perform in 
the competition? 

This week's senior profile goes 
to Andrew "Mac" Cobb. Mac is 
from Madison N.J., and is an ac- 
counting major. We all know him 
as "Messy Marvone", and he 
can't decide if his girlfriend is 
Cooke or Tina. There would be 
absolutely nothing in Mac's life if 
Bruce died, the Mets or Giants 
folded, or his tv blew a fuse dur- 
ing GH. Mac's plans for the 
future are going on to grad school 
and getting a new hairstyle. 
Mac's hobbies are giving wet 
willies and saying "hold on". We 
will all be able to recognize Mac 
very easily 25 years from now at 
our re-union, because hell pull up 
in The Beast with a case of Old 
Swill. 

"....but the music never stopped."

PS- have a good, safe time tomor-

Hey dudes! Whas' up? Nada 
mucho here. Rain, rain go away 
... Anyway, happy end of the 
week to all. Another fun filled 



and rockin' weekend ahead. SO ... 
Can we talk ("tawk")? 

Not much in the line of infor- 
mational news from Sigma K. So 
let's travel the road untaken to- 
day ... Senior Profiles have 
begun... 

Dana K. Myers: Dana is our 
residential bytehead (although 
rarely seen in the computer 
room). Her hobbies consist of 
friends, flirtin' and fun. Dana is 
known for her great impressions 
(yeah, yeah that's it!) and for 

drawing very interesting por- 
traits. There is one particular por- 
trait that has made Ms. Myers 
famous nation wide and that is a 
very "abstract" caricature of her 
father. Dana has just been in- 
ducted into the SU Hall of Fame 
for accomplishing the amazing 
feat of dancing on every frat bar 

in town. Dana resides in the triple 
(ouch-get your roommate for that 
one) at our beautiful estate on the 
ave. Dana "at least I never" 
Myers has been "going out" with 
Phi Sig's Matthew Walker since 
freshman year (since freshman 
year?!) We love our little Dana 
and I KNOW (and hope) in- 
cluded in all her outstanding 
characteristics is her sense of 
humor. 

P.S. Happy 22 birthday - hope it 
was great! 

And on the social calendar ...

In the automotive world, Bob

THETA CHI 

This past weekend was, how 
do you say, extended for many of 
us here at Theta Chi. It all started 
Friday night at Penn State where 
many brothers attended Re 
gionals. Clay and myself put Beta 
Omega chapter on the map by 
breaking our way to the eightball 
in billiards. Upon return to our 
motel we all had narrow escapes 
down narrow hallways from 
narrow-minded managers. Satur- 
day was quite the same, however, 
I'm sure the bath tubs weren't as 
full. 



Sunday proved the fact that 
there is nothing like a Grateful 
Dead Concert as some 15 
brothers, including myself, at- 
tended in Philly. Pledges Ander- 
son, Dels, Fenster, and Noel, 
who got my signature at the 
show, also were shaking their tye- 
dyes. "Flip-out" of the night goes 
to Tony who put a spell on a 
witch whos wand just didn't have 
enough. Its amazing how far one 
dollar goes at a Dead Show, (or 
2.50 for that matter) We also had 
3 virgin Deadheads at their first 
show including Steve "I loved the 
drum solo" Kennedy, Tom "I just 
love the people" Stone and Jim 
"cement feet" Hamsher. We also 
ran into long lost brothers, Rob 
Pinheiro and Ducky through our 
tour down shakedown street. 
Sunday, Brother Turner's birth 
day forced him back to Philly 
along with Tom, Phil, Lou, Tony 
and myself. The rain didn't stop 
us from buying stickers. 
Memories from this show are 
endless but include hot veggie 
soup, fresh fruits and that hot 
deadhead from campus that will 
remain nameless, who kept up 
with me even through Truckin'. 
We are an unbeatable team kid. 
My quick nites this week in- 
clude brother Vivian who finally 
said something relevant at a 
meeting Tuesday evening, 
brother Mueller who found out 
how sweet revenge is and a 
special thanks to Phil and Tom, 
who rebuilt the horseshoe pit for 
Spring. In closing I'd like to ask 
Ham Head to discontinue sand- 
wiches for lunch and dinner 
everyday. 

sick of ham and cheese,

SPORTS CORNER 



Friday, April 3, 1987-THE CRUSADER-Page 7 



Welcome to this special Major 

League Baseball edition of 

| SPORTS CORNER. Thrcugh- 

[ out this column, I will take a look 

at all 26 teams and make my 



prediction 



of who will win each 



[of the four divisions. 

Ill start off with the National 
League East, and the defending 
World Champion New York 
Mets. This is almost the same 
team that went all the way last 
year, with the addition of power 
hitting outfielder Kevin Mc- 
Reynolds. The strong starting 
pitching staff of Dwight Gooden, 
Bob Ojeda, Ron Darling, Sid Fer- 
nandez and Rick Aguilera is the 
nucleus of the team that won 108 
games last season. Jesse Orosco, 
Gene Walter and Roger Mc- 
Dowell, who will miss the first 
two months of the season due to 
a hernia operation, will be called 
on in the late innings. 

The New Yorkers also have a 
powerful lineup led by the likes of 
Gary Carter, Darryl Strawberry 
and McReynolds, coupled with 
the speed of Len Dykstra and 
Wally Backman, form a potent 
combination for opposing pitch- 
ers. If they can avoid any serious 
injuries, they should be the 
favorite to capture their second 
Eastern Division pennant in as 
many years. 

The Philadelphia Phillies and 
St. Louis Cardinals will be the 
main threats in trying to de- 
throne the Mets. 

The addition of ex-Tiger Lance 
Parrish will be a big plus to the 
Phillies, as his big bat will fit in 
perfectly to a lineup comprised of 
such stars as 1986 NL MVP 
Mike Schmidt, Von Hayes, Juan 
Samuel and Glenn Wilson. Their 
starting eight can match up with 
anybody in the league, but their 
pitching staff is average at best 

and they just don't have the arms 
to be a division champion. 
Second-year pro Bruce Ruffin 
will be the ace of the staff, with 
Shane Rawley, Joe Cowley, 
Kevin Gross and Don Carmen 
completing the starting staff. 
Steve Bedrosian will be the short- 
man out of the bullpen. 

The Cards went from NL 
champs in 1986 to third place in 
•W7, and suffered through some 
ky injuries and poor years from 
many of their key people. The 
Pitching staff led by lefty John 
T udor and Danny Cox will be 
relied on to carry the team if they 
suffer through the same type of 
Ming woes that came over them 
J* year. Bob Forsch, Greg 
Matthews and Dave LaPoint 
ra "nd out the starting staff, with 
JJ- Fireman of the year Todd 



the Astros were able to hold ott 
the rest of the division and cap- 
ture their first pennant since 
1980. 

Those three pitchers return, as 
does Davis, who will receive of- 
fensive support from Denny 
Walling, Bill Doran and Jose 
Cruz. Veteran Terry Puhl and 
rookie Ty Gainey will be battling 
for a starting outfield spot, but 
will be added bench strength if 
they can't beat out Cruz. Charlie 
Kerfeld and Dave Smith are the 
relief specialists for manager Hal 
Lanier. 

The Los Angeles Dodgers have 
a pitching staff that matches up 
with the Mets with Fernando 
Valenzuela, Orel Hershiser, Rick 
Honeycutt, Tim Leary and Bob 
Welch. Matt Young, acquired 
from Seattle, and Tom Nieden- 
fuer are the relief pitchers. Their 
offensive attack is led by Mike 
Marshall, Steve Sax and Mike 
Scioscia, but the key to the 
season is if Pedro Guerrero can 
comeback from a serious knee in- 



with Tommy Herr driving in the 
speedsters that hit in front of him 
in the lineup. 

The Chicago Cubs have added 
free agent outfielder Andre 
Dawson to their squad, but the 
aged pitching staff led by Rick 
Sutcliff and Steve Trout will lead 
to their downfall. Shawon 
Dunston, Leon Durham and 
Keith Moreland will lead the of- 
fense, with Lee Smith being the 
pitching bright spot in relief. 

The Pittsburgh Pirates will be 
improved over last year's worse 
record in baseball, with the 
young talent of Barry Bonds, Sid 
Bream and Mike Diaz providing 
support to veterans Johnny Ray 
and Tony Pena. The pitching 
staff is suspect, but if youngsters 
like Doug Drabek, Mike Bielecki 
and Bob Kipper can come around 
and have good years, they will 
build a good attitude to work 
with in the future. 

The Montreal Expos will be 
the worst team in the division, 
unless they can re-sign free agent 
Tim Raines on May 1. They have 
lost Dawson to the Cubs and 
without Raines, their offense will 
be almost non-existent. Hubie 
Brooks and Tim Wallach will still 
be around to drive in runs, but 
they'll have to knock in a bunch, 
because with no quality pitchers, 
except for Floyd Youmans, op- 
ponents will score a lot of runs 
against the Expos. 
Predicted Order of Finish: Mets, 
Phillies, Cardinals, Pirates, Cubs, 
Expos. 

The National League West will 
be a battle between four teams, 
Cincinnati, Houston, Los 
Angeles and San Francisco. The 
San Diego Padres and Atlanta 
Braves will be competitive, but 
will not contend for the division 
title. 

The Reds will be led by center- 
fielder Eric Davis, who provides 
Pete Rose's squad with speed and 
power. Dave Parker and Buddy 
Bell will lend leadership to a 
youthful team. The pitching staff 
will be anchored by Bill 
Gullickson, Mario Soto, if he is 
healthy, and Tom Browning. 
John Franco and Ted Power give 
the Reds a tough lefty-righty 
combination out of the bullpen. 

Houston surprised everyone 
last year by winning the Western 
Division, but with the outstand- 
ing pitching of Mike Scott, Nolan 
Ryan and Bob Knepper working 
with the power of Glen Davis, 



^•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••* 



jury last year and have a pro 

ductive season. 
The Giant pitchers are all 

throwing the split finger fastball 
taught to them by manager 
Roger Craig, and if Mike 
Krukow, Scott Garrelets, Atlee 
Hammaker and Mike LaCoss can 
have good seasons, the Giants 
will be in the thick of the race. 
Chris Brown, Jeffrey, not Jeff, 
Leonard and Bob Brenly can all 
hit the ball out of the ballpark, 
and will drive in guys like Will 
Clark, Robbie Thompson and 
Jose Uribe who will get on base 
ahead of them. 

Larry Bowa takes over as the 
new manager of the Padres, and 
will call upon veterans Steve 
Garvey, Tony Gwynn and Gary 
Templeton to show leadership to 
a relatively young team. Kevin 
Mitchell and Stanley Jefferson, 
acquired from the Mets for 
McReynolds, will start at third 
and center, with rookie Benito 
Santiago starting behind the 
plate. Eric Show, Ed Whitson, 



Here On Campus 



In the fall, the idea of a crew 
:lub was suggested by Keith Mor- 
is. Over the last seven months, 
:he Crew Club, which was 
recognized recently by the SGA 
finance committee, was created. 
In the fall, the team had a row-a- 
thon which raised about $600. 
The club is coed and consists of 
forty members. The team has 
been practicing together for a few 
weeks now. Keith Morris, vice- 
president, along with the other 
executive members, Dana Leach, 
president; Juliann Loupe, 
secretary; and Carrie Neff, 
treasurer, have worked hard in 
forming the club. They have been 
advised by Don Harnum and 
have found a coach, who is a 



by Juliet Gibson 

former Olympic women's rowing 
coach. BucknelFs crew club 
coach also helped with the SU 
crew club, and the SU crew club 
rowed with 3ucknell's in the fall. 
The team bought four boats from 
Harrington High School and 
hopes to be on the water as early 
as April. 

On May 2, the crew team will 
have their first regatta, a boat 
race (for those of you who, like 
myself, don't know boat terms). 
They will be competing against 
Colgate, Bucknell, Hobart, 
Loyola, and possibly Franklin 
and Marshall. All are invited to 
watch. Next fall the crew team 
will have at least one or two 
regattas. 



Strom Davis, Andy Hawkins and 
Dave Dravecky are the ex- 
perienced pitching staff Bowa has 
to work with and Rich Gossage is 
steady out of the pen in relief. 

Atlanta lost their captain Bob 
Horner to free agency, but may 
be able to re-sign him May 1. 
Dale Murphy is the steadying 
force on a team that will have 
trouble keeping opponents off the 
scoreboard. Craig Nettles has 
made the team in spring training 
as their third baseman, allowing 
Ken Oberkfell to move to second. 
Ken Griffey and Gerald Perry 
will be looked to for some power, 
along with catcher Ozzie Virgil. 

The pitching staff of Rick 
Mahler, Zane Smith, David 
Palmer and Randy O'Neal is not 
among the leagues best and will 
be the primary reason for the 
Braves not contending. 
Predicted Order of Finish: Reds, 
Giants, Astros, Dodgers, Padres, 
Braves. 

Opening day starts for some 
teams on Monday and the rest 
open up on Tuesday. Last year 
the only team that I picked to win 
the division was the Mets, and I 
also picked them in the playoffs 
and World Series, but this year 
we'll have to see about the post- 
season. 

Answer to last week's Trivia 
Question: In 1977 Marquette 
won the National Championship 
and were not a member of a con- 
ference. 

This week's Trivia Question: 
Who made the final out of the 
1986 baseball season? 

That's all for this week, I don't 
mean to brag, but what the heck, 
I did pick the winner of the final 
four teams in my column last 
week, but only because Keith 
Smart was able to bury a tough 
corner jumper with five seconds 
left in the game.

Crusaders Split Pair 



The Susquehanna University 
baseball team split a pair of 
doubleheaders this past week to 
improve their record to 10-7, 3-1 
in the Middle Atlantic Con- 
ference-Northwest division. 

On March 25, the Monarchs of 
King's College traveled to Bol- 
linger Memorial Field to open 
their 1987 season with a 7-3 win 
in the first game of a double- 
header. 

With the score tied at 1-1 after 
two innings, King's scored three 
times on four hits in their half of 
the third inning to take the lead 
for good. Winning pitcher Joe 
Flaherty drove in one run and 
Ken Houts added a two-run 
single to account for the runs. 

SU cut the lead to 4-3 in the 
fifth, when Matt Guinan led-off 
with a walk and moved around to 
third on a double by Jeff Cole, 
who had two hits in the game. A 
wild pitch scored Guinan, and 
Cole came in to score on a single 
by Bill Mueller. 

The Orange and Maroon got 
no closer, as the Monarchs added 
three more runs in the top of the 
seventh to ice the victory. 
Flaherty pitched the final four 
innings for the winners in relief of 
starter Mike Foley. The lefty sur- 
rendered two runs on two hits 
and struck out ten. 

Kyle McKay was the starter 
and loser for Susquehanna, 
yielding four runs on seven hits in 
2 -Vi innings. Steve Nelson 
pitched five strong innings, allow- 
ing three runs on five hits and 
striking out four, before giving 
way to Scott Krzykowski who 
finished up. 

Game two was a different 
story as coach Tony Ierulli's 
squad scoredfour runs in the 
second inning on only one hit, in 
posting a 6-1 victory. 

Pete Joachim upped his record 
to 3- 1 with the five inning com- 
plete game. The senior right 
hander allowed just one run on 
six hits in picking up the win. 

In the second inning, Tom 
Smith reached on a walk and was 
forced at second by Brett Crab- 
tree. Guinan then reacahed on an 
infield single before Cole walked 
to load the bases. 



Mueller, Jim Hanlon, Dan 
Barker and Bill Sofio all worked 
bases loaded walks to force in 
runs and give SU the 4-0 ad- 
vantage. 

King's got a run back in the top 
of the fourth, but Susquehanna 
answered right back with a pair 
of runs in the bottom of the 
inning. Drew Paradine singled to 
start the inning and came in to 
score on a double by Hanlon. 
Barker then ripped a run scoring 
single and the Orange and 
Maroon had their 6-1 win. 

The Blue Jays of Eliza- 
bethtown then came to town on 
Saturday to close out the 
Crusaders ten-game homestand. 
SU captured the first game of this 
important MAC-NW twinbill 
with a 10-1 win, but the visitors 
came back for an 18-7 victory in 
the nightcap. 

Krzykowski was the winning 
pitcher in game one, as he limited 
the Blue Jay to just eight hits in 
picking up his third victory in 
four decisions and keeping his 
team leading ERA below 1.00. 

E-town got on the board first 
in the third inning when Wil 
Nicolls took a Krzykowski 
curveball deep to left for a home 
run. However, Susquehanna 
came back to take the lead in the 
bottom of the fourth with three 
runs. 

Hanlon walked with one out 
and went to second on a two-out 
walk to Sofio. Joachim then laced 
a single up the middle to plate 
Hanlon with the tying run, 
before Smith doubled to right 
centerfield off of losing pitcher 
Brad Hassinger scoring Sofio and 
Joachim. 

The Orange and Maroon 
added two runs in the fifth to 
take a 5-1 lead on RBI singles by 
Hanlon and Barker. A five-run 
sixth inning put the game away, 
as the Crusaders held a 10-1 lead 
going to the final inning. 

In the sixth, Joachim and 
Smith walked to lead off the 
inning, but the next two batters 
were retired, before Nelson 
walked to load the bases. Has- 
singer then came back in to pitch 
in relief of Nicolls, and sur 
rendered a bases clearing double

to Mueller. Hanlon then un- 
loaded a two-run homer to close 
out the scoring. 

The Blue Jay bats came alive in 
the second game as they pounded 
out 22 hits against four Crusader 
pitchers in posting the 18-7 deci- 
sion. E town scored six times on 
seven hits in the first two innings 
to chase starter Glen Leary after 
just l-'/3 innings. 

Susquehanna pulled to within 
6-4 with four runs in the third 
inning Steve Haas started the ral- 
ly with a one-out single and 
moved to second on a walk to 
Hanlon. Following a strikeout, 
Sofio singled to plate Haas with

New Record Set at Blood Drive 



On your way to the Campus 
Center today to pick up your 
Crusader, you passed many 
people who gave blood last Fri- 
day. A total of 369 people 
donated blood, 335 of whom 
were students. The old record 
was 357 pints set back in the mid- 
seventies. That means that one 
out of every four students on the 
campus gave blood. That is great 
considering the national average 
of people over seventeen who 
give blood is only 5%. 419 people 
registered, but forty nine were 
deferred for medical reasons. 

Once again, Kristin Meinig 
served as the campus blood 
chairperson. Kris said, "just as 
the members of the 1 986 footbaH 



team know, records were made to 
be broken." Kris admits she had a 
lot of help. There were twenty- 
eight captains in the living units 
and greek organizations and over 
eighty students volunteered their 
help the day of the drive. 

AR A, the SU food service, was 
very supportive of the drive and 
provided lunches for the nursing 
staff and goodies in the canteen. 
They also treated all the donors 
on the bard plan to a special meal 
on Monday night. 

The second floor of Hassinger 
had the highest percentage of 
donors in a particular living unit, 
43%. They just managed to edge 
out the next living unit by three 
%. Their captain was Denise 
Ambrogio and they ail enjoyed a 



steak dinner at the Big Wrangler 
compliments of SAC and the Big 
Wrangler. Phi Mu Delta, cap 
tained by Ric Moskowitz, won 
the fraternity blood cup with 
73% of the brothers and pledges 
donating. Zeta Tau Alpha, cap- 
tained by Tracy Lawrence, won 
the sorority blood cup with 47% 
of the sisters and pledges 
donating. Congratulations to the 
captains for all their hard work. 

Kris Meinig thanks all the 
donors, especially the 133 first 
time donors, and the students 
who helped before and during the 
drive. She is wondering whether 
this year's record was made in 
order to be broken again next 
year. 




Christian Concert Set at SU 



This year, the newly-formed 
Christian Concert Series Com- 
mittee is hard at work at its goal 
to bring quality contemporary 
Christian music to the SU 
campus. 

The committee was formed by 
students Mark Stoddard, Mandy 
Daggett, and Lauri Wilkinson. Its 
members' immediate goal is to 

prepare for the upcoming concert 
featuring Mylon Lefevre and 
Broken Heart, to be given April 
30 in Weber Chapel. Duties in- 
clude concessions, security for 
the concert, and acting as 
counselors after the concert. In 



the following years, the commit- 
tee plans a continuing series of 
annual concerts featuring the top 
names in gospel music. 

Contemporary Christian music 
(CCM) is a genre of music in 
which inspirational lyrics are set 
to a rock beat. It offers a 
refreshing change from a steady 
diet of sometimes-depressing rock 
messages. According to Mark 
Stoddard, "the music promotes 

something different - it has an en- 
couraging, uplifting message." 
More prominent CCM artists 
such as Amy Grant and Stryper 
have crossed over onto the pop 



charts, thereby showing how 
Christian music has become in- 
creasingly more popular and ac- 
cepted. Mylon Lefevre and 
Broken Heart are a Southern/- 
rock band whose music is 
sometimes hard rock, sometimes 
ballad-like, but always powerful. 
The Christian Concert Series 
Committee invites you to the 
Mylon Lefevre concert on April 
30. Tickets are available at the 
box office in Weber Chapel. 
Hundreds of people across the 
U.S. have come away from his 
concerts uplifted and refreshed; 
come and find out why.

Ward Appointed VP of Association 



SU visiting professor of 
management William Ward has 
been named Government Divi- 
sion vice president of the United 
States Association for Small 
Business and Entrepreneurship 
(USASBE). 

The appointment, which was 
approved by the Association's 
Board of Directors, was an 
nounced recently by organization 
President Max S. Wortman Jr., a 
professor of management at the 
University of Tennessee. 



USASBE, the largest affiliate 
of the International Council for 
Small Business, is a network of 
academicians, entrepreneurs and 

other professionals committed to 
the expansion and development 
of knowledge and research affect 
ing small and emerging 
businesses. 

As vice president of the 
Government Division, Ward 
works with the Small Business 
Administration, similar state and 
local agencies and smaller private 



organizations which lobby on 
behalf of small business. He is 
also a member of the USASBE's 
executive board. 

Ward, who is in his first year as 
a Susquehanna faculty member 
in the University's Sigmund Weis 
School of Business, earned his 

bachelor's and master's degrees 
and the doctorate from the 
University of Colorado. He has 
taught previously at George 
Washington University, the 
University of Maryland, and 
Virginia Polytechnic Institute.

Housing Shortage Expected 



Another housing shortage is 
expected for Susquehanna 
University next year. Carol 
Courtney, the Director of 
Residence Life, explained that a 
projected 61 students will be in 
emergency housing during the 
fall semester, compared to the ap- 
proximately 70 students in 
emergency housing this year. 
This projection won't be definite 
until after May 1, when the 
university will have received all 
of the deposits from new 
freshmen and enrollment can be 
accurately determined. 

Until further housing can be 
found, students will again be 
placed into triples and lounge 
areas, at least until spring 
semester. Christine Wolfe, a 
freshman who lives in a triple, ex- 
plained that triples are "difficult 
because the room is the same size 
as a double, closet space is insuffi- 
cient, and sometimes it's just too 
cramped to be comfortable." 

The university is examining 
several plans to end emergency 
housing. The plan to build 



townhouses across the railroad 
tracks, on Sassafras St., has been 
postponed because the cost of the 
project has increased. Due to the 
postponement, if the townhouses 
are accepted, they won't be ready 
until the spring semester of next 
year. Also, if the university ac- 
cepts the plan to build a new Phi 
Mu Delta fraternity house, the 
housing problems would be 
further lessened. 

Lotteries for upperclass 
housing will be held from April 
21 to April 23, after students 
return from Easter break. Both 
Smith and Hassinger halls will be 
closed to upperclassmen next 
year. 

Until the committee on 
housing meets again and knows 
exactly how many students will 
be enrolled next year, little more 
can be projected about housing. 
However, students should be 
assured that by spring semester, 
all emergency housing should end 
since some new type of housing 
should be built by then.

Our Corner 



A Note of Thanks 



Two weeks ago, Dean Ander- 
son told me that she was waiting 
for the other shoe to fall after the 
Keene White incident. Now it ap- 
pears that she has dropped the 
shoe herself, and it is about a size 
30, 250 lb. combat boot. 

The battle lines have been 
drawn. The administration has 
dared to take the step that would 
curb drinking on campus, per- 
haps even wipe out parties ac- 
cording to some, and the students 
are incensed. It all came to a boil 
in a public forum held in Weber 
on Wednesday afternoon. 

There are letters written by 
students that appear in this paper 
that basically sum up the 
students' viewpoint. 

The administration's policy is 
the same as before with one addi- 
tion. The policy that was instated 
on March 20 said that the frater- 
nity must 1) have a firm guest list; 
2) check ID cards; and 3) not fur- 
nish alcohol to anyone under age 
21. The addition states that the 
fraternity must have a member of 
the Chapter's Alumni Advisory 
Board and/or an employee of the 
Advisory Board present during 
the entire party. This person is 
there to assist the fraternity in 
complying with the letter and 
spirit of the policy. In addition, 
the advisor must contact 
Residence Life and state that he 



will be present before the party 
can be registered. 

At the public forum, many 
students voiced their complaints 
to Dean Anderson. I think a 
series of quotes and paraphrases 
from the meeting will best 
describe the atmosphere. 

Question: Are you trying to 
dry up campus with this new 
policy? Dean A.: No, but I'mcon- 
cerned with the misuse, abuse, 
and illegal use of alcohol... 
because "fraternities cannot con- 
tinue to be in violation of the 
law." 

Statement: "The campus is dy- 
ing (from the new policy)." 

Statement: Rules and regula- 
tions wouldn't have stopped 
Keene's death. 

Question: Wouldn't it be better 
to have Security enforce the 
policy rather than having the ad- 
visor present. Dean A.: Security 
would have been better "in the 
long run," but this year it wasn't 
working. 

Question: How does this effect 
non-greeks? Dean A.: Project 
houses may no longer have 
parties because they do not have 
host liability insurance. Room 
parties, those with less than 12 
people, must see Carol Courtney 
so that they understand their 
legal individual responsibilities.

Question: Why didn't they give 
the first policy a chance? Dean 
A.: This was considered a "crisis 
situation" for fraternities. 

Question: Why don't you at- 
tend parties and see what really 
goes on? Dean A.: I have in the 
past, but I am an "Officer of the 
University" and I would have "no 
choice" but to follow disciplinary 
action if I saw violations. You 
don't really want me there, do 
you? 

Question: Places like Penn 
State have been having all kinds 
of parties under the same state 
law as us, so why are you "taking 
the law into your own hands?" 
Dean A.: Fourteen people at 
Penn State are soon going to trial 
on charges related to fraternity 
parties. Twenty-one is the law, 
and we must not condone its 
violation. 

Statement from Dean A.: Do 
you understand that the presi- 
dent and social chairman of the 
fraternities are legally responsible 
in a civil suit. It is a misdemeanor 
charge on their record for life... 

Statement: The incident of 
Keene White's death is being 
blown out of proportion. Rich 
Woods: "A person died. That's 
not out of proportion." 

Statement: "We've learned a 
lesson (from Keene's death)." 

Statement: "You're forcing 
people to leave (campus and 
drink)." Dean A.: I'm not forcing 

anyone. You are responsible for 
your own actions. 

Statement: "I think you're just 
asking for drunk-driving ac- 
cidents," what will you do then? 
Dean A.: That would be tragic, 
but I would hope that people 
would be responsible enough to 
not drink and drive. 

Statement: "Give us another 
chance." 

Question: Why the sudden 
change, because of Keene? Dean 
A.: It has not been sudden, we've 
been "moving toward this all 
year." 

Statement: It's a party school 
and that's why freshman come 
here. Dean A.: That idea scares 
me. 

Statement: "What else is there 
to do on campus? Nothing." 

And so on. Out of all of these, 
the last two bother me the most. 
However, after listening to the 
people at the forum, I believe that 
nothing can be said or written 
that will change peole's minds. 
Messing with what students see 
as their right to drink, at 
' whatever age, causes reactions 
like nothing else. To me, the topic 
just isn't that important. Per- 
sonally, I have other things to 
worry about, so 111 just wish 
everyone good luck.

On Mar. 2 1 , we returned to SU 
after eleven years to present an 
alumni voice recital in Seibert 
Recital Hall. We wanted to take 
this opportunity to express our 
thanks to the two music frater- 
nities on campus - Sigma Alpha 
Iota and Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia 
-for helping to make our program 
a success. Both of us were 
members of these respective 
groups while we were at SU. 

We were thrilled to see the 
changes and renovations in 
Seibert Hall and around campus 
that have occurred since our 
graduation. What a perfect 
setting Seibert Hall is for art song 
recitals. However, we were glad 
to see that some things never 



change - the students in these 
music groups are still working as 
diligently as ever to assist at con 
certs and recitals with ushering, 
lighting, and receptions. In our 
case both groups took funds from 
their treasuries to buy food for an 
elegant and luscious reception. 

Credit must go to these music 
students for their positive at- 
titude, helpfulness, and hard 
work. Our thanks to all of you in 
SAI and Phi Mu Alpha for 
making our return so enjoyable 
and for being such an ap- 
preciative audience!

Let's Work Together 



Dear Students, 

At this week's Student Govern- 
ment meeting and Open Forum 
on Wednesday many concerns of 
the alcohol policy were voiced by 
the student body. These concerns 
range from anger towards the ad- 
ministration to concerns of find- 
ing something to do on a week- 
end. Which ever way you look at 
it, however, this campus is upset 
and angry. As a student on this 
campus I share in these feelings. 
As Student body President I pro- 
pose that action be taken. This is 
not a time to complain about 
what has happened. Nor is it the 



time to sit around and do 
nothing. More than ever, this is 
the time to come together as a 
Student body. Working together 
we have to prove that we are 
dependable and trustworthy. As 
far as we know, the policy as it 
stands now is not permanent. To 
insure this, however, it is up to 
the students to prove that we are 
worthy and capable of alcohol 
policy. Let's work together to en- 
sure that we deserve another 
chance. 

Sincerely, 
Kim Gorman 
SGA President

How to Reduce the Risk of AIDS 



Five years of experience with 
AIM indicates that the disease is 
[not transmitted from one person 
to another through any form of 
[casual, non-intimate contact. 
[There is very strong evidence 
[that AIDS is transmitted through 
[direct blood-to-blood or blood-to- 
[semen exchange. Direct contact 
[with other body fluids of an in- 
jected person also may increase 
[the risk of AIDS, although no 
[cases so far have been directly 
I linked with other body secretions 
[or excretions. 

Based on this information, 
there are precautions that can be 
taken by the general public and 
I by persons in special risk groups 
to eliminate or reduce the risk of 
contracting AIDS: 



'Don't have sexual contact with 
any person whose past history 
and current health status is not 

known. 



'Don't have sexual contact with 
multiple partners or with per- 
sons who have had multiple 

Partners. 



•Don't have sexual contact with 
persons known or suspected of 
having AIDS. 



'Don't abuse intravenous (IV) 
drugs. 



•Don't share needles or syringes 
^ling does not guarantee 

sterility). 



• Don't have sexual contact with 
persons who abuse IV drugs. 

• Use a condom during sexual 
intercourse may decrease the 
risk of AIDS. 



• Don't share toothbrushes, 
razors or other personal im- 
plements that could become 
contaminated with blood. 



• Persons with positive HTLV- 
III antibody test results should 
have regular medical checkups, 
and take special precautions 
against exchanging body fluids 
during sexual activity. 



• Health workers, laboratory per- 
sonnel, funeral directors and 
others whose work may involve 
contact with body fluids should 
strictly follow recommended 
safety procedures to minimize 
exposure to AIDS, hepatitis B 
and other diseases. 



• Persons who are at increased 
risk for AIDS or who have 
positive HTLV-III antibody 
test results should not donate 
blood, plasma, body organs, 
sperm or other tissue. 

• Women who have positive 
HTLV-III antibody test results 
should recognize that if they 
become pregnant their children 
are at increased risk of getting 
AIDS.

Reelin ' 



As I see it, the problem with 
the Brat Pack isn't so much a lack 
of talent as a lack of focus. There 
seems to be a certain candy-man 
quality about them all: sure, 
they're acting their hearts out but 
the performances are so lofty 
you're left feeling you've seen a 
zephyr. Brat actors tend to use 
high-falutin' posturing instead of 
technique; this makes the per- 
formances seem hollow. Most of 
them are actually pretty good 
actors; but pretty bad performers. 

Andrew McCarthy, who along 
with Chris Makepeace represents 
my hope for the future of film, is 
never like that. He slouches 
through his films without regard 
for camera angles or his own 
biceps. He offers perceptive, wit- 
ty performances despite some 
times overwhelming odds. He's 
aware of his appeal onscreen 
without wallowing in it. If these 
were the 30's, his future would be 
as bright as Jimmy Stewart's. 



-Eric Diesel 



The most recent addition to his 
echelon of well-acted, badly- 
written roles is the lead in MAN- 
NEQUIN: an artistic loser who 
can only get the girl when she's 
made of wood. He's the window 
dresser at "a department store" 
(actually Wanamaker's in 
Philadelphia); the sort who never 
has a date but you know, you just 
know, that he's a beast inside. 
Well, this one mannequin comes 
to life and, of course, no one can 
see this but McCarthy. 'Nuff 
said. 

Actually, MANNEQUIN is 
remarkably similar to a window 
display: an eye-catching, well- 
disguised selling tool. What the 
movie is selling is Andrew Mc- 
Carthy. Despite being caught in 
this flat, predictable, boring 
morass of a film, he escapes 
unscathed. Notable also is 
Meshach Taylor as Hollywood, a 
dishy black queen who gets the 
best clothes, the best lines, and 
the most laughs. It's quite a state- 
ment about MANNEQUIN that 



a grotesque stereotype like this 
would be the film's only breath of 
fresh air. 

I can't really gripe about 
MANNEQUIN too much. It 
aims low and it hits low. But I 
think the pathetic averageness of 
this movie is indicative of a far- 
worse monster rampaging 
through Hollywood: under- 
estimation of the audience. Are 
the folks in Lotus Land so la-la 
that they think we can't see 
through this tripe? Sure, not 
every film can or will glow with 
artistic relevance. But why strive 
for such a low common de- 
nominator? It's just as easy to 
make a good film as a poor one. 
Luckily we still have actors like 
McCarthy (and Makepeace and 
Ringwald and Sheedy) to see us 
through. Too bad they're often 
stuck in movies like this, where 
the message (that life is like a 
bracing slap, and whoop it up) 
negates itself by appearing in the 
most wooden movie of the year.

I Questions About AIDS Are Answered 

Who is at ris 



Who is at risk for AIDS? 

During the five years in which 
AIDS has been recognized and 
studied, approximately 95 per- 
cent of AIDS cases nationally 
have occurred among the follow- 
ing groups of people: 
73% sexually active homosex- 
ual and bisexual men with 
multiple partners; 
17% - present or past abusers of 
intravenous drugs; (In ad- 
dition, a certain number of 
homosexual or bisexual 
men are also IV drug 
abusers.) 
3% • persons with hemophilia 
or others who have re- 
ceived transfusions of 
blood or blood products 
known or presumed to be 
contaminated; 
1%-hetrosexual contacts of 
persons with AIDS or at 
risk for AIDS; 
1% -children who apparently 
acquired AIDS prior to or 
during birth from infected 
mothers. 
Some 5% of AIDS cases do not 
fall into any of these risk groups, 
but researchers believe that 
transmission occurred in similar 
ways. Some patients die before 
complete histories can be taken. 

How contagious is AIDS? 

Unlike most communicable 
diseases - colds, flu, measles, etc. - 
AIDS is not transmitted through 
sneezing, coughing, eating or 
drinking from common utensils, 
or merely being around an in- 
fected person for a long time. 
- After five years of experience it is 
evident that casual contact with 
AIDS patients does not place 
others at risk. No cases have been 
found where AIDS has been 
transmitted through casual (non- 
sexual) contact to a household 
member, relative, co-workers or 
friend. Health workers and others 
who care for AIDS patients on a 
daily basis have not become ill. 



How is AIDS transmitted? 
. AIDS is not an easily 
transmissible disease. All 
evidence indicates that AIDS is 
spread through sexual contact, 
needle sharing or less commonly 
through transfusions of blood or 
blood components. Direct blood- 
to-blood or semen-to-blood con- 
tact appears necessary to trans- 
mit the virus associated with 
AIDS. There is no evidence that 
AIDS can be transmitted through 
air, water, food or casual body 
contact. 

Why are homosexual and bisex- 
ual males at high risk for AIDS? 
Cases of AIDS among 
homosexual and bisexual males 
are associated with promiscuous 
sexual contact, and anal inter- 
course and other sexual practices 
which may result in semen-to- 
blood or blood-to-blood contact. 
Anyone who engages in such 
practices is at increased risk for 
AIDS, whether they are homo- 
sexual or heterosexual. 

Why are IV drug abusers at in- 
creased risk for AIDS? 

IV drug abusers often share 
needles for drug injection which 
can result in small amounts of 
blood from an infected person be- 
ing injected directly into the 
blood stream. 

Can AIDS he transmitted 
through heterosexual contact? 

Some cases of AIDS (less then 
1% of the total) have been 
transmitted from an infected 
male to a female. It is not known 
if anal intercourse was involved. 

How do women contact AIDS? 

Most women who develop 
AIDS have a history of IV drug 
abuse, and presumably con- 
tracted the virus through sharing 
of needles. A few women also 
have developed AIDS following a 
blood transfusion or through sex- 
ual contact with a man who has 
AIDS or is positive for the AIDS 
linked virus. 



Can infected women transmit 
AIDS to men through sexual con- 
tact? 

There are a handful of AIDS 
cases reported to have been 
transmitted from women to men. 
These cases are still under in- 
vestigation to identify the po- 
tential transmission route or to 
determine if other risk factors 
may be involved. Some experts 
believe that female-to-male 
transmission of AIDS through 
sexual contact is unlikely, or dif- 
ficult. 

Can use of a condom during 
sex reduce the risk of AIDS? 

Use of a condom during sex 
can probably reduce the risk of 
AIDS since it minimizes direct 
contact with sperm, a body fluid 
known to carry the AIDS-linked 
virus in infected persons. 
Manufacturers of condoms point 
out, however, that their products 
are not failsafe and people should 
not rely on condoms as their only 
defense against AIDS. All sexua' 
ly active people are advised to 
refrain from sexual contact with 
persons whose history and health 
status are unknown. 

How can people reduce their 
risk of getting AIDS through sex- 
ual contact? 

All sexually-active people — 
males and females, homosexuals 
and heterosexuals — are being 
advised to limit the number of 
sexual partners and to avoid sex- 
ual contact with anyone whose 
past history and health status is 
unknown. Avoiding anal inter- 
course or other sexual practices 
which can result in blood-to- 
blood or semen-to-blood contact, 
and use of condoms may also 
help to decrease the risk. 

Can you get AIDS by touching 
someone who has it? 

After five years of experience 
there is no indicationa that AIDS 
is spread through any form of 
casual contact, including hand-

Can you get AIDS by being in 
the same house with an AIDS pa- 
tient? 

No. Experts point out that no 
household member of any AIDS 
patient other than a sexual part- 
ner has developed the disease. 

Can you get AIDS from a gay 
friend or co-worker? 

AIDS is not transmitted 
through casual contact. After 



five years of experience no cases 
of AIDS have developed among 
casual friends or co-workers of 
AIDS patients. There is no 
evidence that being around some 
one with AIDS, even for an ex 
tended period of time, puts you at 
risk for AIDS. 

Can mosquitos transmit 
AIDS? 

There is no evidence that mos 
quitos, other insects or rodents 
play any role in the transmission 
of AIDS. 



Aids Info Session Planned 



Anyone can contact AIDS - ac- 
quired immune deficiency syn- 
drome. The disease is caused by 
human immune deficiency virus 
(HIV), a virus with the unfor- 
tunate ability to destroy essential 
cells in the body's immune 

system. About 1.5 million 
Americans, not all of them gay, 
have been exposed to HIV. The 
Public Health Service predicts 
that 20-30 percent of these people 
will develop AIDS-related illness. 

The virus can reside "silently" in 
the body, causing no signs of ill- 
ness; or it can cause a range of 
symptoms called ARC (AIDS- 
related complex); or it can lead to 
full blown, AIDS, the mature 
disease. AIDS kills people 



because other infections and 
cancers are ordinarily controlled 
by a healthy immune system run 
rampant when the immune 
system is destroyed by the AIDS 
virus. The only way to protect 
yourself against this illness is to 
become educated about AIDS 
and to know the ways to protect 
yourself against it. 

Attend the AIDS information 
session presented by the Penn 
sylvania Department of Health; 
sponsored by the Susquehanna 
University Health Center for the 
students of Susquehanna Univer 
sity. Monday, April 27, from

It's Greek to Us 



ALPHA DELTA PI 

Hi everybody! How goes 
Greek Week?? So far the events 
have been very exciting, 
highlighted with pledge Lisa 
Liveringhouse's library affairs. 
We now know she doesn't need 
the book. Sarah Reynolds had 
some rather personal questions 
regarding the male anatomy. 
Thanx to Sally Bittle, Tracy 
Wonsidler and Jenny Akxion, 
we cornered a win in the trivia 
game. We know what seniors do 
with their free time. The Mr. SU 
contest was very entertaining. All 
of the Pi's enjoyed watching 
those babes on stage. Congratula- 
tions to Kelly Dencker - the new 
Mr. SU!! Enjoy the rest of the 
week and beware of the powerful 
Pi's at the Olympics on Saturday. 

Our pledges are looking good 
these days. Kendall Kasarjian 
seems to be mastering her tray 
balancing techniques. Sally 
Nickey thanks Helen Costalas for 
helping rescue her little bro. 
-those pledges always come 
through. We're proud of you 
girls!!! 

Happy Birthdays go out to 
Robin MacElwee and Joanne 
Kling. Have fun - don't do 
anything Sharon Tirpak wouldn't 
do. 

We are glad to have Melissa 
"brain" Church back from her lit- 
tle Utah convention. Prissy ex- 
hibited honors level paper writing 
techniques and bopped out west 
to show off her masterpiece 
-Congrats Prissy! 

Alpha Delta Pi would also like 
to welcome the new Phi Mu 
Delta brothers into the wonderful 
greek world. Well done guys!! 

A huge round of applause goes 
out to the new Miss Service 
America - Kristin Meinig, who 
organized the blood drive. SU set 
a new school record, and Kristin 



thanks all of those who donated 
or helped out in any way. It's 
great that so many students were 
involved in such a good cause. 
Shannon C. Cordasco's contribu- 
tions will not be forgotten. 

It looks like the weekend is 
very busy with Greek Week 
festivities. I'm sure lots of Pi's are 
leaving some time open for 
formal date hunting. Hot greek 
men will be in abundance this 
weekend, girls! Maybe Sue Hef- 
fernan will get rid of her 
honorable position at this formal. 
I know she's anxious to pass it 
on....Well, have fun this weekend 
and enjoy our little Easter Bunny 
break!!! 

Love and Loyally, 
—Nan Pat 
P.S. Dave Savino - A lesson in 
geography may be in order. I'm 
not sure, but I don't think New 
England is a state. 

KAPPA DELTA 

Well, Hi! Yes, we all made it 
back from the formal (most of us, 
I think. ..as for our dates, that's 
another story!). The formal was 
quite a good time, as usual. I 
don't think anyone stopped 
dancing for longer than 2 songs. 
What a bargain. Before I get into 
the details, I have some very im- 
portant news to share. Congrats 
are in order for Sister Jacqueline 
Sorge who was lavaliered by 
Randy Noonan this past week- 
end! I knew it was going to hap- 
pen sooner or later! Congrats 
again! 

Now on to the good formal 
awards (better known as the 
formal gossip): 

Most Original Formal Date: 
Laura Beckie's date Pete Mc 
Quaid. 

Most missed Formal Date: 
Kevin Sinnott.

here.. .where are you Jacquie 
Sorge!). 



All in all, the evening was quite 
a success.. .as they say: "A good 
time was had by all." 

The funny thing is, we actually 
made it to the Dating Game on 
Sun. Sister Sue Rattay asked 
some amazing questions and 
choose lucky bachelor #3. Sister 
Roberta Bianchi was chosen from 
a pick of 3 to go to none other 
than RAX. Sister Denae Schoner 
gave the thumbs up for cu- 
cumbers and Sister Patti Scotton 
just giggled and ran away. We 
placed 2nd in the Trivia Bowl 
thanks to the knowledgable Sister 
Vicki Mangus! And, last year's 
returning Champion on the 
Totally Disgusting, Sister Lauren 
Bodmer, sleezed away with 
Sisters Karen McKenna, Lynda 
Buck and Bert Bianchi. 

Just a few notes about the way 
we were dressed Thurs. The il- 
lustrious pledges made their big 
sisters dress quite hysterically for 
Turnabout Day. 1 guess all's fair 
in KD and pledging. They think 
they're so funny. ..but April 
Fool's got them for anything they 
could ever possibly do. We're 
ready for Sun., are you girls?? 

Oh! I almost forgot (I've been 
doing a lot of that lately)! Happy 
Birthday to the smoker, Sister Liz 
Kazar!! And Congrats to the 
newly initiated brothers of Sigma 
Phi Epsilon, Phi Sigma Kappa 
and just recently Phi Mu Delta. 



That's it for Greek Week '87! 
It's a wrap! See everyone tonight 
at the Greek Banquet! 

With KD Love and mine, 
-P. U ikMe 
P.S. I just wanted to say "Good 
Job" to all those who put Greek 
Week together...That includes 
Lance Sadlek, Joe Wolfe, all of 
Panhell and IFC and especially 
our own Laura Fattman and 
Dana Dombroski!! 
P.P.S. Hi Angie Johnson!! 

PHI MU DELIA 

It's official— Phi Mu Delta has 
grown to 53; on Saturday, April 
4, 1 7 men were initiated in a tear- 
filled ceremony. The men are: 
Jim Bell, Gene Cautillo, Dave 
Cozzolino, John Del Vecchio, 
Jayson Dunbar, Dave Farley, 
Rich Kuncken, Mark Manley, 
Bill McGarrigle, Rob Miller, Ric 
Moskowitz, Jon Nickey, Jerry 
Pryor, John Sadorf, Rick Stumpf, 
Dave Szawlewicz, and Doug 
Wheeler. 

It was definitely a memorable 
10 weeks; looking back, re- 
member the first meeting, in- 
dividuals, Big Brothers, Sons, the 
Formal, The Slave Auction, the 
Swim-a-thon, Old Man Jordan, 
hurricanes, cleanups and climb- 
ing through the window, three 
rings, Pete DiGiacomo MIA, 
Buck tarred and feathered, "you 
light up my life," "Muds are #1," 
the Eternal Pledge Class, 

"Horse's ," "the 

light," "I live for beats," "Hotel 
Phi Mu Delta," Beethoven's 9th, 
witnessing 409 crumble, 
10-minute warnings, haircuts, 
"Brother Tim, I have a question," 
u Vi an hour and 16 men," the Big 
Guy, "optional" classes, Lobo's 
trumpet, the library 8-11, dancing 
on the bar, Ohio Northern (Nu 
Beta), Alpha Delta Lambda, an 
hour and a meal a day, "Phi Mu 
Delta's the place to be," shattered 
relationships with girlfriends, 
possessions, brownies on news- 
paper, Pumpkin, river parties, 
high blood pressure, the Pledge 
Swap that Never Was, skits, 
courage, meeting at Seibert, 
Rob's makeshift prayers, "Gum- 
Barf," Gen-o's power events, 
POW, "What, tennis?," taking 
Buck serious, striving for 
and achieving excellence, "What- 
ever!" demerits, thinking things 
were going to be easier after Tim- 
mo mangled his arm, coming 
together as one, cow-tied Burf, 
the tressel, awesome Pledge pad- 
dles, "If Rich Derrick doesn't get 
his message there will be hell to 
pay" (Rambo), the exchange of a 
Pledge Pin for a Recognition Pin, 
and finally, actually becoming a 
Phi Mu Delta Brother. 

And now, it's on to Senior Pro- 
files—this week's lucky winner is 
Steve Schmalz. More commonly 
known as Shame, this strapping 
youth hails from Walpole, Mass., 
and is a picture of art, standing at 



6 foot and weighing anywhere 
from 220 to 180, depending on 
how the food's been holding up 
above the Stereo Shop. Shame 
perhaps the most irrelevant' 
minded Brother, last had full use 
of his faculties prior to last week's 
Ctead show. He was able to lead 
SlTs hockey team the past four 
years despite being in horrible 
shape of body and mind. Shames 
most noticeable feature is his 
over-sized mouth, resembling 
that of a rather large fish, 
Shame's future plans are to 
become a professional grounds 
keeper, or to be the "Cinderella 
Story," we wish him luck. 

As most of us know, Sunday 
was the Mr. SU Contest, where 
Phi Mu Delta was represented by 
Dooey and Higgs, who per 
formed the most entertaining 
events there. Higg's impression of 
Beatlemania and bathing suit 
were hits, and Dooey pulled in a 
third by, well, just being Dooey, 
Phi Mu Delta will also be 
represented Thursday in the 
Talent Show by these two, and 
some kids who are not like the 
others. 

Also worth print, the Bug and 
Higgs had a serious run-in with 
the fish and game commission, 
where they were nearly sent to 
the Lewisburg Jail for their vile 
acts against Mother Nature. 

Finally, belated birthday 
wishes to Jayson "I'd rather be 
with Barkid" Dunbar, who 
turned 19 Thursday. 

Well, enough said, 

Fraternally, 

— Timmo 

P.S. A question to ADPi— When 

does school start in the fall? 

Answer— September Morn 



PHI SIGMA KAPPA 

Greetings from the Ave. I have 
been informed that Scott 
"Raccoon-head" Smith is worse 
of a poker player than I am. We 
had our glorious formal this past 
Saturday evening, and what a 
formal it was. Hope nobody took 
offense to Rob Ancipink and my 
"Annual Ro-go Awards" (what- 
ever that means!), and if you 
did.. .tough! If you aren't doing 
anything tomorrow night, come 
out to "Chip's"...sorry that Andy 
Bowman and Jeff Catt won't be 
here this weekend. (Sure, just use 
them for "the pad.") Were you all 
aware of the fact that it was none 
other than James Paul McCart 
ney who played the lead guitar on 
George Harrison's 'Taxman", 
and not George himself? (How's 
about it) Ah, John Egan was up 
this past weekend, and the crew 
went searching for Randy 
Noonan at the KD formal. What 
was the room number, Pete 
Shearer? ("Aah...phhhhh!") 

Today begins the Mets' season, 
so Mac Cobb and Rob are 
psyched. We were worried that

Dennis "Buddha" Sansiveri 
wasn't going to return from his 
weekend, but, sho 'nuff, he pulled 
up with the family. We took sec- 
ond place in the trivia bowl 
(Greek Week) last night, and 
thank Chris "Lumpy** Pluta for 
that banner "that looks like an 
ice-cream cone." Without any- 
thing else to babble about, I 
might as well dig into this week's 
senior profile, going to Thomas 
Harrison. Tom's a very popular 
guy who hails from Stamford, 
Conn. He's an Operations 
Management major, and we all 
know him as "Darthead." Tom is 
a regular bruiser on the rugby 
team, was a former Phi Sig presi- 
dent, but we don't see enough of 
him on the baseball field. This 
week's Top Ten List respectfully 
goes to Dart, for his Top Ten 
Quotes of the year. Number ten, 
"Wear the suit, he wants you to 
pound nails." Number nine, 
"When did they (the Colts) move 
to Indianapolis?" Number eight, 
"Does blood turn green in salt 
water?" Number seven, "You on- 
ly like her (Marilyn Monroe) 
because she has a big name." 
Number six, "You don't even 
have your health!" Number five, 
"It's Mac's little sister." Number 
four, (on the American Revolu- 
tion) "They wanted slavery, we 
didn't, so we kicked their butts!" 
Number three, "Wilt Chamber- 
lain wasn't a good basketball 
player, he was just a freak of 
nature." Number two, (on Pla- 
toon) "it was just another shoot 
'em up movie, you can get any 
meaning you want out of it, 
babes." AND, Tom's All-Time 
Biggie.. .."because it tastes like 
taint." How about that, all of 
them factual, and you didn't even 
have to buy this newspaper. Well, 
that's all for this week..."hey, 
Alex Trevek doesn't sit down!" 
The light shines, 
-Sid 
SIGMA KAPPA 

Hey dudes! Salutations from 
Sigma K. Where the heck is the 
sun? Does the sun ever shine in 
Selinsgrove? But at least Friday is 
finally here. Yaaay! Anyway, on 
to the news of the week. 

Happy Greek Week! Everyone 
get psyched for tomorrow' events 
... the weatherman's calling for 
three inches of snow! (ha-ha just 
jivin*) The week was started with 
the dating game last Sunday. 
Sigma Kappa's panel was half 
asleep on stage but still managed 
to make fools of themselves. 
Pledge Cindy Cook, Sister 
DeGennaro and yours truly were 
the victims that day. Sister Deej 
would still like to know what a 
mammary gland is! Why couldn't 
he go for the silet type (ha-ha On- 
ly kidding really!) 

Congratulations to the newly 
crowned Mr. SU and a job well 
done to sister Carrie Bishop who 
organized the event. 



The banners in the caf look 
great...UNITED WE STAND! 
(but what happens if we fall?) The 
Sleaze Game was interesting and 
the Air Band was fun but I really 
can't say much more about those 
events since it's only Tuesday 
night as I write this ... ya know? 
And what went on at the raft 
race. 

Birthday babies in the month 
of April are Sisters Barb 
Bakeman, Kay Czap, Patty King 
and Linda Knutson. Happy 
B-day Y'all! 

Brief memos to certain in- 
dividuals out there. To the 
house... who has the bride 
magazine down there (Don't Do 
It!) To all who took a certain "ex- 
am" shall we say last weekend ... 
who got the lowest score? Pledge 
Denliker ... tsk, tsk! and always 
remember and neve forget ... 
make sure they really ARE asleep 
before talking commences next 
time ... K girls? 

And Now ... SENIOR PRO- 
FILE (I can be so evil) Tammy 
Lynn Kromis: 

Tammy is a Poly (yuck) Sci 
major with a minor in ...oops 
don't know. At age 21, Tammy 
has had an interesting life. It's too 
bad I don't know anything about 
it so I can do this darn profile! 
She is pinned to Theta brother 
Randy Hughes. Tammy "I'm an 
angel" Kromis comes across to 
others as your typical ivory girl, 
don't let her fool you! (she doesn't 
use that soap is what I mean) She 
enjoys running through campus 
in a toga playing "catch me if you 
can" and has a senior goal to do a 
certain something at least once a 
week until graduation... no NOT 
THAT!!...you people have dirty 
minds... and what's the deal with 
those ice cubes? Tammy's future 
plans include getting married and 
having at least 12 kids (yikes!) 

Congrats to sister of the month 
Barb Bakeman for her fan- 
tabulous job at the volleyball 



marathon and to sister Julie Nees 
for the VIS of the month award. 

Dear pledges, thanks y'all for 
the carnival on Wed. Will you 
never cease to amaze us. 
Remember UNITY IS THE 
KEY! smile-Sigma Kappa Loves 
You. 

FORMAL ... TOMORROW 
NIGHT! Y'all best be getting 
psyched. I heard your social 
chairman has just done wonders 
(hardy har har) But seriously, 
tomorrow evening at 7:30 will be 
our annual Spring Formal to be 
held at the Susquehanna Inn. 
D. J.'s Greg and Todd will be sup- 
plying the tunes and the night 
will be great. Remember people, 
it's in walking distance for a 
reason. Those who still have not 
asked "him" yet ... that's cool ... 
make them squirm! (oh my!) 

Anyway that's all for this 

week. Take it Light! Until we 

meet again, let us part friends. 

Sigma's Love &. Mine

SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

Yo dudes — how's it been go- 
ing lately? It was a grrreat 
weekend with our formal taking 
place at the Susquehanna Inn: 

The evening started off with a 
toast to the last of our Founding 
Fathers who wished us the best 
of luck in the future. Most im- 
portantly, the festivities started 
off with Matt Karasch and the 
waitress on the dance floor. Then 
he went to Mark Bensel for the 
Janet Jackson moves. As for Mr. 
Jeffrey Allen Giaimo III, he had 
a blast "Being" himself on center 
stage. We even had representa- 
tives from the over-30 crowd: Mr. 
& Mrs. Herb Faust showed us 
the secrets of ballroom 



dancing — both of you made the 
formal extra special. Tom 
Dingbaum, how was your #1 
G.T.? Exciting I bet!! Matt 
LaDuke, please warn us the next 
time so we can wear our sun- 
glasses: silver dresses are be- 
coming of you. As for the music, 
I can attest for everyone there 
that the song of the night was 
"Mony, Mony" — although we 
didn't sing all of it, we at least got 

to the "GET 

GET !!" 

We would like to congratulate 
The House on obtaining a new 
15-person house for most of the 
week (right Craig Smith and 
Steve Cook?)!! Hope we can keep 
it this way even though Ed "I 
didn't know the pillar was there" 
Lopez is trying to destroy the 
House. 

Hey Lee "Fozzie" Hunt, have 
you gotten any health insurance 
lately? I hear "Allstate" is a good 
brand. Bensel might want to try 
out the policy one of these days! 
Craig "Russell" Stoken might 
need a 3rd party policy if he 
doesn't ice down Russell: 4 
times?! 

Congratulations are in order 
for our own Mark Bensel for 
coming in 2nd place in the Mr. 
S.U. Contest. We knew you were 
a born natural for juggling! Next 
year's the year!! 

Also, Congrats to our Trivia 
Bowl team of: Craig Smith, Steve 
Cook, and Craig Stoken taking 
First Place with Olympic rings.

Good work guys — keep it up!! 
Here is the 2nd installment of 
Sig Ep's "Senior Profiles." This 
week's seniors are Jeffrey Dilks 
and Armand Dodsworth. 

First off, Jeffrey "Wife Beater 
Dilks is a political science major 
(why?) who aspires to become the 
governor of N.J. His first step 
toward this position after gradua 
tion is a counter position at 
McDonalds: Good luck, Baldy, 
you're in good company with 
Dave Sweigard. During Jeffs 
four years at SU, he has served as 
Sig Ep President, SGA Senator 
for 2 years, 2 university commit 
tees, and was a Founding Father 
at Sig Ep. Jeff can be remem 
bered for stair-diving, co- 
founding elevator school, and 
usurping power. 

Next up is Armand "Leroy, 
Bert, Cabbage Patch, Pit" 
Dodsworth, and English major 
(possibly a librarian?) from Mont 
ville, N.J. He's a man who studies 
too much, but can always find 
enough time to start a couch 
brawl over a Flyers-Rangers 
hockey game. Armand, at least 
get the telephone while you're 
up!! Mr. Dodsworth can be 
remembered for walking into 
THE SAME telephone pole 3 
times in a row while walking 
home from the Sub. Armand will 
have the last laugh when he 
makes a million dollars!! 

This week's new feature is the 
"Dog of the Week" awards going 
to a racing car driver.. .Mr. Mark 



Essentials.

party. ..so come up prepared to

ZETA TAU ALPHA 

Well kids, another exciting 
week has gone by, and now we 
are into April. Our thanks go to 
the pledges for starting things off 
right. They were "tricky, tricky, 
tricky." Even so, the pledges soon 
learned their lesson - DONT 
MESS WITH BIG SISTERS 
THEY ALWAYS GET EVEN! 
Sister Karen Hagstrom, "she took 
my lifeline to the outside world." 
Hey Pledge Karen DeGraw, did 
you read the morning's paper? 
Also on that first day of April, a 
special thing happened. Some 
very zany sisters became "The 
Three Stooges Revisited". Sister 
Bonnie Herb's famous phrase for 
the evening was "don't drop me, 
Diane!" Sister Karen Hagstrom 
had problems getting the tape off 
her fingers. And Sister Diane Es- 



April 10, 198' 

ty found herself unable to open 
the door of Aikens quietly. To 
conclude the evening's activities, 
just remember Pledge Bridget 
"Ingrid" McKinley, "We love 
you!" 

The show must go on, right 
girls? You know what they say ■ 
"When the Going Gets Tough, 
the Zetas Get Going!" Pardon 
me Pledge Patty Kloss, but is 
"Jimmy Lee" a possible formal 
date? All of you were just 
FABULOUS! "Thank you" to 
Dr. Fladmark for the com- 
pliments, and to Dr. Potter for 
supplying the girls with tasty 
treats after the show. 

While some ZTAs danced at 
the elementary school, some were 
dancing at the Sigma Phi Epsilon 
Formal. All danced the night 
away, or at least tried to. The 
Grace Award of the evening 
went to Sister Sharon "I'm 
aglow" Ward. Nice going, 
Sharon! 

I think a lot of Greeks on 
campus were relieved that the 
Olympics were cancelled last 
Saturday. I heard many were 
"sick and tired". By the way, 
thanks go to everyone who 
donated in the Blood Drive. It 
was a tremendous success. May 
the best sorority or fraternity win 
the cup! Good luck tomorrow 
everyone! Let's give it another 
try. 

Speaking of Greek Week, in 
preparation for the banner con- 
test, four fantastic ZTAs devoted 
their time and energy to the 



cause. The entire Zeta Tau Alpha 
Sorority would like to thank 
Sister Kathryn "I love U2" 
Heller, Sister Marjorie "the Alex 
Trubec of Jeopardy" Cook, 
Pledge Donna "111 take you on a 
scenic drive" Willbergh, and 
Pledge Diane "the toilet paper 
tangler" Rogers. Girls, it looks 
Ma ...velous! 

Some Zetas felt adventurous 
this weekend and overnighted in 
Harrisburg at Paradise Alley. 
Sister Laura Marr, Beth Noble, 
Kat Heller, and Val Hansen state 
"we thought Mason jars were for 
storing jams!" Beth, did you ever 
decompose yourself, and have 
your teeth turned blue? 

Some last minute comments 
about the sisters of ZTA: Sister 
Tracy Lawrence, have you only 
one pair of shoes to wear? Sister 
Melanie Raffa, did you have a 
getaway weekend with the Sand- 
man? Sisters Laura Marr and Val 
Hansen say, "Hey now, please 

clean our windows!" Congratula- 
tions Sister Deb Kopf on your 
rewarding trip to St. Louie. Sister 
Karen Hagstrom, "gee, I wish the 
birds would shut up!" Sister 
Sarah Walter, is a library card all 
you got at Bucknell? 

In Zeta Love, 

—Mother Goose

Welcome back Gammas! Just 
when you thought it was safe to

Women and Men of Sus-

How are we doing with the 
issue of play at Susquehanna? 

I continue to hear counter 
productive talk like, "If they 
won't let us drink here, well just 
drive to Bucknell or some bar to 
do our drinking! They'll be sorry 
if one of us crashes on the way 
back!" I still do not find the "we" 
"they" talk at all helpful. It seems 
to me that we, the community of 
men and women who make up 
Susquehanna University, have a 
great opportunity to look for 
healthy and community-en-

I for one do not care to test the 
limits of mortality simply to 
prove that "I'm" right and 
"they're" wrong. My life and 
your life is too precious to be 
sacrificed to the idols of alcohol 
or defiance. 

I have also heard that the DJ 
party went over well at Smith 
Hall and that a number of 
students have stopped by the 
Residence Life Office to see if 
they needed to register non- 
alcoholic parties they were 
planning. My two sons went to 
the Mr. S.U. Contest and found 



that to be a humorous event and 
last night I could hear the cheer-

grateful for these positive steps 
which are being taken. 

Let's keep the discussion on the 
level of "What can we do to play 
in healthy ways" and stay clear of 
"What can we get away with— 
even if it kills us."

Here On Campus 



■ 

We all remember the day that 
the men and women in orange 
T-shirts greeted us to Susquehan 
na University. For most of those 
Susquehanna students, the day 
before and the day the freshmen 
arrive are the only days that they 
are active, but for a few, Orienta- 
tion is a year-long process. Each 
year three are asked to join and 
will also participate their senior 
year. Thus altogether six 
members make up the Orienta- 
tion Planning committee. Two of 
the six have a position. One is the 
chairman and is responsible to 

oversee the whole process. The 
other is the secretary who takes 
the minutes and write cor- 
respondents. The meetings are 
weekly and take a couple of 
hours. 

The Orientation Planning 
Committee is in charge of all 
events concerning orientation, 

instead of during orientation. 
They check the needs of ad- 
ministration, but this is a student- 
controlled organization, which 



by Juliet Gibson 

has impressed the administration. 
At times it is surprising to see 
students so self-motivated and 
loyal to a commitment. This year 

the mailers during the summer 
that go to incoming freshmen, 
and for selecting the O-team. 
They also design the freshman 
Shield, and select the student ad- 
visors. This past year they 
changed the format so that all the 
testing was done in the summer 

the members were Pete Ashey 
('86 chairman), Alice Jeremko 
('86 secretary), Denae Schoner, 
Todd Quackenboss f87 chair 
man), Gretchen Dell, and Mark 
Thorsheim. For next year the 
juniors will be Sue Johansen ('87 
secretary), Bill Mikus, and 
Lauren Bodmer.

Alcohol Policy Discontent Expressed 



I would like to express my 
discontentment with the ad- 
ministration of this school for 
their failure to inform the campus 
community, until after the fact, 
of actions that affect the entire 
student body. For example, the 
increase in admissions, the 
alcohol policy preceding Keene 
White's death, and the alcohol 

policy instituted after his death. 
Such events that have a large im- 
pact on the residence of this 
campus should be addressed by 
an official of the school; it is not 
the duty of the student govern- 
ment. Additionally, the Student 
Government Association's meet- 
ing scheduled Monday, April 6, 

at 6:30 p.m., that was to discuss 
Dean Anderson's new alcohol 
policy, was not publicized to the 
people it will directly affect. 
Again, it is not the job of the stu- 
dent government to merely in- 
form students of already-made 
policies that they have no control 
over. 

Almost all of the students of 
this campus are over the age of 
eighteen, thereby begin recog- 
nized as legal adults in all states. 
By reaching this age one acquires 
the right to vote, the responsibili- 
ty of going to war for their na- 
tion, and the responsibility for 

their own actions. The students 
of this campus would like to be 
treated in a manner suitable to a 
person capable of such respon- 
sibilities. Open lines, of com- 
munication should be instituted 
between administration and the 
students of this school in this case 
and in all cases. 

Regarding the tragic death of 
Keene White, again no official 
statement or memorandum was 
released from the administration 
to the students that a person had 
died on campus following the 
consumption of alcohol. The 
facts related about Keene White 
are that he was an alumni, over 
the age of 2 1 , that was visiting his 
fraternity. He died following 
the consumption of alcoholic 
beverages. 

Mr. White was of legal drink- 
ing age, therefore legally able to 
purchase and consume intox- 
icating beverages. The actual 
location of his demise remains ir- 
relevant due to Mr. White being 
an alumni of this school. Had he 
died in the town of Selinsgrove 
visiting fraternity brothers or in 
California visiting fraternity 
brothers, it would be inconse 
quential; he was a visiting alum- 
ni. He was over the age of 2 1 and 
responsible for his own actions. 

However, the law of Penn- 
sylvania holds third parties liable 



concerning the consumption of 
alcoholic beverages; that is, the 
serving or the forcing to drink of 
an already intoxicated person 
makes that person selling, serving 
or forcing alcoholic beverages 
liable. Therefore, the burden of 
proof that Mr. Whtie consumed 

other than his own alcohol 
"beyond a shadow of a doubt," 
lies with the administration of 
this University. It is only 
courteous and logical that they 
do so before making policy deci- 
sions condemning the entire 
campus community. Any action 
before this would be illogical. 

The pre™ 0118 alcohol policy 
had been instituted one day, in 
sufficient time for any policy 
change to be tested. Enactment 
of an even stricter alcohol policy 
before seeing if the previous one 
would work does not give the 
previous one a fair test. And with 

Dean Anderson's new alcohol 
policy comes the risk of students 
drinking and driving to parties off 
campus and by this the inad- 
vertant endangerment of 
students and the residents of 
Selinsgrove. 



My experience with the people 
of this campus is that Susquehan- 
na University will become a "suit- 
case weekend campus." The 
newer stricter alcohol policy that 
Dean Anderson and the ad- 
ministration prescribe would 
create a staff prohibition on this 
campus and along with it, all the 
undesirables that are associated 
with prohibition. This includes 
the increased use of illegal drugs. 

Any person affected by such a 
tragic situation is tempted to 
point a finger to shift the blame 
onto a person, institution or in- 
stitutions, or policy. Such a 
tragedy literally could have hap- 
pened anywhere. 

I remind the administration of 
the clause in the United States 
Constitution, "innocent until 
proven guilty." So until the ad- 
ministration addresses all ar- 
guments presented in this letter 
or any other letter, petition, the 
questions of students, and prove 
that any institution or institu- 
tions are to blame "beyond a 
reasonable doubt," I hereby call 
the administration of Susquehan- 
na University to reinstate the 
previous alcohol policy. 

-Richard Hefele 




Alcohol Saves Lives?? 



I have been a student at SU 
now for three years and there 
have been no alcohol-related 
problems until the unfortunate 
death of Keene White. During 
my freshman year I had access to 

alcohol almost every night due to 
Rush functions and parties. My 
sophomore year Rush went dry, 
which I thought was a good idea, 
but now the administration has 
gone too far with their alcohol 
policy. 

Their new idea of having an 
advisor or alumni board member 
to sponsor a party is totally 
ridiculous. They said these people 
are "adults". Am I not an adult? I 

had to register for the draft and 
am fully responsible for my 
actions because the law tells me I 
am an adult. Who does the ad- 
ministration think they are, 
telling me I am not an adult?

Does the administration think 
we're so immature that we need 
chaperones; because, in effect 
that's what an advisor would be 
at a social gathering. Does the ad- 
ministration think these advisors 
will be able to change anything 
that goes on at the parties? 

The administration must 
remember that Keene was of 
legal age, was no longer a stu- 
t'-snt, could have been one of the 

"adults" that now must sponsor a 
party, and most importantly, that 
the whole university, or the 
whole greek system, should not 
be held liable for the actions of 
one person. 

I am writing this letter because 
I am trying to save the lives of the 
students of SU. The new alcohol 
policy will change the drinking 
habits of few, if any, students at 




French Actors Perform at SU 



Theatre Poeme, a professional 
troupe of French actors from 
Brussels, Belgium, will present 
"George Sand AujourdTiui", a 
dramatic presentation of the life 
of «the 19th Century feminist and 
French writer. 

The free public performance 
will be at 6:15 p.m. Thursday, 
April 9 in the Seibert Hall 
Auditorium on the Susquehanna 
University campus. The entire 
performance will be presented in 
French. 

Susquehanna professor Jack 
Kolbert says the performance 
follows the life of one of the most 
prolific writers of the 19th 
Century and her efforts to fight 



male taboos — from taking a 
man's name to wearing slacks. 
Sand wrote more than 80 books 
in her time. 

The actors of Theatre Poeme 
will be acting out some of the 
many texts of Sand, Kolbert said, 
including her love affairs with 
famous composer Chopin, and 
writers Flaubert and Musset. 

Susquehanna is the only Penn 
sylvania school on Theatre 
Poeme's national tour. Other per- 
formances are scheduled at the 
University of Wisconsin, Univer- 
sity of California-San Diego, New 
York University, and the Univer 
sity of Southern California. 



all. The parties will move 
downtown and the underage will 
acquire fake ID's so they can go 
to the bars. Some of these 
underage students will get caught 
and will be facing a felony, but 
that is just the beginning. The 
students will have to drive to get 
to these parties and bars; we all 
know what happens when people 

drink and drive. The lucky ones 
will only get caught (DUI) driving 
under the influence, pay ex- 
orbitant fines, probably lose their 
license, and they could go to jail. 
I can see the front page of The 
Crusader saying "Another 

Tragedy Strikes SU" and a car ac- 
cident will involve a lot more 
than one person. Then the Ad- 
ministration, and Dean Ander- 
son, can tell us just how proud 
they are of their new alcohol 



policy and the good it has done 
for the school. Remember, 
"Drinking And Driving Can Kill 
A Friendship". 

Since I came here the ad- 
ministration has slowly choked 
the freedom of the students and 
they will continue to do so until 
the campus is totally dry, unless 

we stop them, which will cause 
the deaths of more students, 
because of drinking and driving 
accidents. It's time we, the 
students, spoke up and protested 

this before someone else dies. 
Keene White's death was a ter- 
rible thing and I am only writing 
this article to prevent any future 
injuries and deaths which will in- 
evitably happen if we let the ad- 
ministration do what they please. 

Sincerely, 
-Paul E. King

SPORTS CORNER 



Well, after taking a look at the 
National League last week on 
SPORTS CORNER, HI preview 
the American League this week, 
since we didn't have room for it 
in last week's edition. 

Turning our attention to the 
American League, the American 
League champion Red Sox will 
not repeat this year, because they 
have all sorts of problems coming 
out of training camp. Roger 

Clemens is still a holdout, and 
catcher Rich Gedman can't 
return to the team before May 1. 
The pitching staff, even with the 
return of Clemens is only three 

deep (Clemens, Bruce Hurst and 
Dennis Boyd), and their bullpen 
is adequate at best with Calvin 
Schiraldi and Joe Sambito. 

Offensively, the Sox will be as 
tough as ever, with Jim Rice, 
Don Baylor and Dwight Evans 
hitting for average and power, 
while Wade Boggs is a consistent 
.350 hitter and Marty Barrett 

showed he can handle the bat 
well in the playoffs and World 
Series. Rookie Pat Dodson is 
battling BiH Buckner for the first 
base job and Marc Sullivan will 
be behind the plate until Gedman 
returns. 

The "other" team in New 
York, the Yankees, will be 
scoring a lot of runs, but their 
pitching staff is not good enough 
to hold opponents off the 
scoreboard and this will hamper 
the Lou Pinella's squads chances 
this year. 

Don Mattingly is the offensive 
catalyst for the Bronx Bombers, 
and Dave Winfield, Gary Ward, 
Mike Pagliarulo and Dan Pasqua 
are all tough sticks at the plate. 
Wayne Tolleson and Willie Ran- 
dolph can hit for average, as can 
Ricky Henderson, who also pro 
vides some speed. The pitching 
staff is led by Dennis Rasmussen, 
who won 16 games last year. 
Rick Rhoden, Bob Tweksbury, 
Tommy John and Joe Niekro 



round out the starting staff, with 
Dave Righetti being the primary 
reliever in the late innings. 

The Cleveland Indians were a 
surprise team last year, but this 
year many people have picked 
them to win the division. Led by 
Joe Carter, Cory Snyder, Andre 
Thorton and Pat Tabler provide 
the offensive punch, while Tom 
Candiotti, Phil Niekro, Greg 
Swindell and Ken Schrom lead 
the pitching staff. The bullpen is 
suspect, but Julio Franco and 
Tony Bernazard will combine 
with the others mentioned to 
score runs in bunches. 

The Toronto Blue Jays will be 
in contention for their second 
division title in three years 
because of their fine pitching 
staff and hard hitting lineup. Out- 
fielders Jesse Barfield, Lloyd 
Moseby and George Bell can all 
hit over twenty home runs. Kelly 
Gruber, Tony Fernandez and 
Willie Upshaw also add offensive 

punch to the Blue Jay lineup that 
will try to score runs for pitchers 
Dave Stieb, Jimmy Key and Jim 
Clancy. Their bullpen is also 
strong with Mark Eichhorn and 
fireballer Tom Henlr** 

The Baltimore Orioles have a 
new manager, Cal Ripkin St., and 
n.-'st work on a new attitude 
after last vear's disastrous season. 

The offense is led by Cal Ripkin, 
Eddie Murray, Terry Kennedy 
and newly acquired Rav Knight. 

However, the pitching staff will 
have to improve on last year, led 
by Mike Boddicker. Ken Dixon, 
Mike Flanagan, Scott McGregor 
and rookie Eric Bell will fill out 
the starting rotation. 

The Milwaukee Brewers are 
still a few years away from 
:hallenging for a division title, 
but veteran players like Paul 
Molitor, Robin Yount. Glenn 

Braggs and Rob Deer, along with 
newcomers Dale Sveum and 
Greg Brock, will make this season 
interesting in northern Wiscon- 
sin. The pitching staff is led by 




Teddy Higuera and Juan Nieves, 
who are tough lefties, while Chris 
Bosio could become a good 
righthanders in the rotation. 

The Detroit Tigers of Spark 
Anderson have all the ability in 
the world to win the division, but 
the loss of Parrish to free agency 
will definitely hurt Larry Hern- 
don, Alan Trammel], Lou 
Whitaker, Darnell Coles, Darrell 
Evans and Kirk Gibson give the 
Tigers plenty of offense. Jack 
Morris. Frank Tanana, Dan 

Petry and Walt Terrell combine 
with Willie Hernandez out of the 
bullpen are one of the best staffs 
in the division. 

Predicted Order of Finish: Blue 
Jays, Indians, Tigers, Yankees, 
Red Sox, Orioles, Brewers. 

The Bobby Valentine-led 
Texas Rangers are a good hitting, 

good pitching team that will score 
runs and shut down opponents. 
However, they are very young 
and may still be a year away from 
being a division titlist. 



Pete O'Brien, Pete Incaviglia, 
Larry Parrish, Oddibe McDowell 
and Ruben Sierra make up the 
tough lineup opposing pitchers 
must face. The Ranger staff is 

young, but veteran knuckleballer 
Charlie Hough is the ace, with 
youngsters Edwin Correa, Bobby 
Witt, Jose Guzman and Mike 
Loynd being called upon to 
throw strikes for Texas. 

Last year's division winner, 
California, will be in contention 
again with a much younger team 
than last year. Gone are Reggie 
Jackson, Bob Boone, Bobby 
Grich and Terry Forster. 
Younger players like Devon 

White, Jack Howell, Darrell 
Miller and Mark McLemore will 
be called upon to fill some holes. 
Veterans Doug DeCinces, Rup 
pert Jones and Dick Schofield 




join second year pro Wally 
Joyner and Brian Downing in a 
productive lineup. Mike Witt will 
anchor the pitching staff, with 
Don Sutton, John Candelaria and 
Kirk McCaskill. 

The Oakland A's will bank on 
the big bat of Jose Canseco to 
score runs and move up in the 
standings. Mike Davis, Dwayne 
Murphy, Carney Lansford, Al- 
fredo Griffin and Reggie Jackson 

will provide some offensive out- 
put. Pitchers Joaquin Andujar, 
Moose Haas, Curt Young will be 
the main starters, with Jose Rijo 
and Chris Codiroli hoping for a 
chance to contribute. 

The Chicago White Sox will re- 
ly on the pitching staff of Floyd 
Bannister, Rich Doston, Neil 
Allen, Joel Davis and Jose 
DeLeon to keep them in some 
ball games, as they look for offen- 
sive production from Gerg 
Walker, Gary Redus, Carlton 
Fisk, Harold Baines and Ozzie 
Guillen. 

The Kansas City Royals went 
from World Champions to also 
rans in one year, but they had a 
lot of things go wrong. This year 
their prime worry will be about 
former manager Dick Howser 
and his recovery from a brain 
tumor. George Brett is the leader 
of this club, while Willie Wilson, 
Frank White, Steve Balboni and 
newly acquired Danny Tartabull

will add some punch to the 
lineup. The pitching staff is 
steady, with Danny Jackson, Bret

Mark Gubicza and relievers Bud 
Black and Dan Quisenberry. 

The Seattle Mariners are 
without an owner and a prayer of

SU: Growing, Planning, Improving 
Architects Preparing Final Report 



Earlier in the spring semester, 
the board of directors commis- 
sioned a facilities study of SU. 
After three meetings on campus, 
the planning of the Spillman- 
Farmer Architectural firm from 
Bethlehem, PA is in its final 
stages. 

The three planning sessions of 
Spillman -Farmer have offered 
faculty, students, and staff the 
opportunity to comment on cam- 
pus buildings, grounds, and ar- 
chitectural needs of SU. The ar- 
chitectural firm brought 
preliminary drawings each time 
so they could be reviewed and 
commented upon. The focus has 
been on renovations and expan- 
sion for the buildings on campus, 
and the campus itself. 

According to Dr. Jeanne Neff, 
Vice President of Academic af- 
fairs, two items were discussed 
early in the process. They are the 
refurbishing of residence halls, 
and of the main classroom 
buildings. These two items re- 
main high on the list for the final 
report. 

Other items reviewed have 
been the renovation and expan- 
sion of facilities for the fine arts 
and sciences buildings, im- 
provements in the library, some 
of which we are beginning to see, 
and campus traffic patterns. 

The traffic system is being 
looked into to create more open 
space at the center of campus. 




We, the family of Keene 
White, would like to express 
our appreciation for all the 
support we have received 
from the SU campus. Your 
cards and prayers have helped 
Jgjh rough a difficult time. 



Expansion of perimeter parking is 
being reviewed, and also a two- 
way road to replace the one-way 
we have now. 

As far as the science buildings 
go, the expansion of the en- 
vironmental studies building to a 
full-blown physical department 
complex is being considered. The 
space in Fisher Science Hall may 
be reorganized so the biology, 
physics, and chemistry depart- 
ments can all work together more 
closely in research, etc. More 
space for experiments and addi- 
tional research labs are also being 
considered. The whole plan is en- 
couraging more interaction and 
crossing over among the different 
departments. 

Furthermore, the plans insist 
on the inclusion of general 
classrooms in the specialized 
buildings, such as Fisher Hall, so 
non-majors in these areas will be 
exposed to different areas they 
might not otherwise have been 
exposed to. According to Dr. 
Neff, this will "... make talented 
students aware there are oppor- 
tunities available in these areas." 

In the fine arts area, the expan- 
sion of Heilman Hall is being con- 
sidered. This includes three areas. 
The first is the expansion of 
rehearsal space for musical 
groups and ensembles. 

The second is the compensa- 
tion of a small working theater 
with a scene shop. 

The third is a dramatic new 
area for visual arts. This could in- 
clude an art gallery and ample 
studio space for activities such as 



painting, sculpture, and print 
making. 

To complete this new emphasis 
on the fine arts, a full time facul- 
ty in art history will be hired for 
the 1987-88 school year. Dr. Neff 
adds that the buildings are being 
planned to support programs, to 
make them more responsive to 
the teaching going on inside. The 
proposed plans will also free more 
space in other classrooms. 

The plans for all renovations 
are still being reviewed. There 
will be a facilities audit report 
before the final board meeting in 
May. This will include the recom- 
mendations on buildings, cost 
estimates, and preliminary plans. 

The main point to keep in 
mind, however, is that only as 
resources become available, can 
anything be done. At least the 
facilities report gives a guide, so 
when money does become 
available, there will be something 
ready to do, a plan will be ready 
to be presented. This is what tui- 
tion and gift money to the 
University go toward, to allow 
for these kinds of developments. 

Every interviewed architect 
commented on the architectural 
integrity of the campus, such as 
the consistent use of brick, and 
keeping with what we started 
with as far as materials go. 

Commenting on the whole pro- 
ject. Dr. Neff said, "It is 
something the whole community 
can see and be proud of. It's our 
plan, instead of the architects' 
plan alone."

Solving the Shortage 



Because of the concern about 
housing for SU students in future 
years, two solutions are being 
considered. The first solution, a 
bit more complicated, is to look at 
housing alternatives. 

One possibility is that town 
houses might be built across the 
railroad tracks to house more 
students. But the key word is 
"might". The whole concept is 
just an idea at this point. 

The University was approach- 
ed by an outside contractor, 



separate from the Spillman 
Farmer architects who came to 
evaluate SU's campus and 
buildings. The contractor's pro- 
posal for the town houses hap- 
pened to work out well with the 
suggestions proposed by 
Spillman-Farmer. 

There are many hurdles to 
jump before a project of this 
magnitude can be started. So far, 
costs have been estimated by the

Mylon LeFevre & Broken Heart 



Christians Rock Chapel 



Mylon LeFevre and Broken 
Heart, the renowned gospel/rock 
band, is coming to SU's Weber 
Chapel Auditorium next Thurs- 
day, April 30, at 8 p.m. 

The group will be performing 
such songs as "Stranger To 
Danger," "Trains Up In The 
Sky," "He Is Strong," "The War 
rior," and many others that have 
made them one of the top names 
in contemporary Christian music 

today. Their own blend of 
southern gospel and hard-driving 
rock'n'roll gives them a distinc- 
tive sound which is unforgettable 
to all who hear it. 

Mylon LeFevre got his start 
singing with his own family's 
southern gospel group, the 
LeFevres. At age 17 he wrote his 
first hit song, "Without Him," 
which was recorded by Elvis 

Presley and which made him a 
very rich man. The lifestyle of a 
successful singer and writer soon 
took its toll on LeFevre, who 
turned to drugs for consolation. 

Mylon 's life turned around one 
day in the mid-seventies when his 
heart stopped as a result of an 
overdose. The reality of his situa- 
tion made him give up drugs com 
,pletelyin 1974. 

After 6 long years of struggle 
with physical and spiritual confu- 
sion, he became a Christian in 
1980 and was ordained as a 



pastor in 1981. With his new 
band Broken Heart, he recorded 
his "comeback" album, ap- 
propriately titled "Brand New 

Start," in 1982. After that came 
"More," "Live Forever," "Sheep 
in Wolves' Clothing," and most 
recently, "Look Up." 

Today, the "Look Up" Tour is 
acclaimed as one of the finest 
road shows of the 80's. The group 
is using the world's first totally 
digital sound reinforcement 

amplification system, manufac- 
tured by Peavey. Its light show is 
also fantastic, utilizing 250,000 
watts in its futuristic state-of-the 
art display. The music they play 
is driving, energetic, full of life, 

without compromising its 
message in the least. Without 
coming ccross as "square," these 
men express their beliefs to the 
beat of rock'n'roll. 

Tickets are on sale for the con- 
cert at the Weber Chapel box of- 
fice, as well as at Local Christian 
bookstores. Tickets are $8.50 
each for students and faculty. 

With your SU I.D., you will 
receive a rebate in the form of a 
$2.50 gift certificate to Fox 
Theatre with purchase of a ticket. 
Most Broken Heart concerts 
have been sellouts, so reserve 
your seat now.

Alcohol Policy Woes 



Insensitive Drivel 



I would like to express my feel- 
ings regarding the new alcohol 
policy to the Susquehanna 
University Community. Through 
observations of what went on the 
last weekend before break, I have 
come to the conclusion that the 
new alcohol policy is in effect, 
causing more serious problems 
than were experienced under the 
previous policy. 

First off, I would like to com- 
mend Theta Chi and Sigma Phi 
Epsilon for their efforts towards 
having non-alcoholic parties that 
weekend. I attended the DJ party 
at Theta on Friday night: 
Typically on a Friday night 
Theta would have been crowded, 
on that Friday night there was 



only a handful of people at any 
given time. I say to the students, 
this would have been a lot of fun 
if we the students made it fun. 
Enough said on that. 

Next I am going to describe 
some of the events which took 
place, proving the new alcohol 
policy is in effect creating more 
serious problems. We all know 
drinking and driving does not 
mix! I was talking to three girls 
outside one of the dorm buildings 
on Friday night. They were tell- 
ing me how they disliked the new 
policy and how it [the policy] is 
going to ruin their social life. 
Their solution: "We're going to 
Bucknell tonight. At least we can 
drink and have a good time 



Our Corner 



Did everyone have a relaxing 
break? As most people seem to 
think, it's nice to go home, but it's 
lousy to come back. At least there 
are less than two weeks of classes 
left. Just hang on until the end. 

A hearty welcome to all the 
parents who have come to enjoy 
the festivities on campus. See you 
at the dance. 

Also, a welcome to the juniors 
who are here to take a look at SU. 
We hope you like what you see. 

The recent spurt of weather 
has opened up Smith Beach and 
the other hot-weather hangouts. 



This is always good for the 
morale of both the guys and the 
girls. Remember: bake but don't 
burn. 

This is the second to last issue 
of The Crusader this year. In this 
issue, there are some more pieces 
about the alcohol policy and the 
greeks. Since there is only one 
issue to follow, anyone who has 
anything to say must speak now 
or forever hold his peace. 
Remember, however, that The 
Crusader reserves the right to edit 
all material submitted for publica- 
tion, so keep it clean and to the 
point.

there." Now, in order to get to 
Bucknell, one needs a car, so one 
drives to Bucknell. After the par- 
ty is over, one must drive back 
(usually intoxicated). The ad- 
ministration is probably thinking 
right now that we should be 
mature enough not to drive 
drunk, but the fact is that virtual- 
ly everyone who is drunk feels 
they are able to drive safely, 
which obviously is not the case. I 
know of at least eight other 
groups of people who were "forc- 
ed" to drive into town to drink at 
bars. Another example of drink- 
ing and driving. 

I go out of my way personally 
to make sure people who were 
drinking do not drive. An exam- 
continued on p. 4 



As far as the alcohol policy 
goes, it would probably be best to 
just let it ride for this year and 
wait to see what happens in the 
fall. But then again, that's just 
my opinion, and people will do 
what they believe is best for the 
situation.I just hope these last 
few weeks are less hectic than 
those before Easter. 

On to new business. Room 
selection has come upon us, and 
for some reason the game is dif- 
ferent. They have changed the 
rules on us, but they have not 
told us why. We have now 
returned to freshman dorms, with 
Smith, Hassinger, and Mini strict- 
ly freshman occupied. Also, there 
is no longer a chance to squat 
rooms in any dorm. 

Reasons that I have heard for 
these changes are varied in their 
validity. First off, one idea is that 
the freshman do not get to know 
their classmates as well as when 
they live apart. This could be 
true. Another, more questionable 
and unofficial reason is that the 
upperclassmen might be a bad in- 
fluence on the youngsters. I'm 
not too sure about that one. 

The no-squat rule is in effect 
because it is not fair to those 
students currently in dorms going 
all-freshman. This is actually a 
good idea. It will eliminate the 
problems that would have un- 
doubtebly occurred. 

Personally, I don't think that 
freshman dorms are all that great 
an idea. Look at the pounding 
that Hassinger took year after 
year. It is now fixed up, but it is 
being turned over to the usually 
rambunctious newcomers. Well 
see how it works out, I guess. 

Next week will be my farewell 
address, as I am turning the keys 
over to the next owner, or editor, 
of The Crusader after this year. 
It's been an interesting two years, 
but that story is next week. 

—Editor 



Dear Editor, 

It is Greek to us, too. I can not 
believe the insensitivity as 
evidenced by the Sigma Phi Ep- 
silon column on March 27, 1987. 

A young man died and they ex- 
pressed their sympathy sandwich- 
ed between two paragraphs of 
drivel. A man's passing away 
deserves more. 

I realize this is a student 
newspaper. I think, however, you 
should be capable of publishing 
worthwhile material and not the 
childish nonsense in "It's Greek 
to Us." 

Peace within, 
—Mary J. Carei 

Editor's Note: This is the column 
that is referred to. We, too, felt it 
was insensitive, but that is not 
grounds for editing. We have en- 
couraged the Greeks to try to put 



"news" into their columns, but 
the "drivel" is widely read. We 
can only continue to advise and 
hope for better content. 

While most were at PSU, 
Brothers John "Terribly Sober" 
Tourville and Craig "Russell" 
Stoken had their hands full back 
here at SU. However, neither us- 
ed the floor logo to its full poten 
tial — someone will ... sooner or 
later! 

On a very serious note: the 
Brothers and Pledges of Sig Ep 
would like to express our sincere 
condolences and grievances for 
the loss of Lambda Chi Alpha 
alumnus Keene White. 

We would like to congratulate 
Brother Dan Lichtner for 
lavaliering Golden Heart Bobbi 
Stipetich. Hey Dan, where are 
the handcuffs? 



Need Alcohol ? 



Dear Editor: 

I am writing you to express my 
feelings of wonder and disgust at 
both the administration and the 
students of this University. In the 
past weeks, I have read the letters 
and articles in your paper concer- 
ning the alcohol abuse going on 
within the campus. The situation 
has left me laughing at the com- 
ical actions of both sides of the 
issue. 

First of all, it is such a 
disheartening thought to think 
that I attend a University where 
so many of the students are so ad- 
dicted to alcohol that they "need 
it to survive?" The last time that I 
checked, alcohol didn't rank up 
there with food, water, and 
shelter. Of course, I'm talking 



reality while so many of these 
students are living in their sweet 
little fantasy world wondering 
what to do with all that extra 
money that mommy keeps sen- 
ding up every week. I am wonder- 
ing where the University got 
these students, obviously minors, 
that believe the school is forcing 
them to go off campus and get 
drunk. I don't think that the 
University is threatening us in 
any way if we don't go off and 
drink. I didn't know that the 
school could make such foolish 
personal decisions for us. 
Anyhow, Pennsylvania law 
states that the drinking age is 
twenty-one, not SU law. What 
makes our fellow students think 
that the law says "any one under

No Need 



Alcohol Policy 

continued from p. 2 

pie of this would be the time I got 
out of bed at 2 a.m. to take one of 
my intoxicated friends, who was 
otherwise insistent on driving, to 
get food.- There are not enough 
people on this campus who would 
do that, and obviously I could not 
possibly drive every intoxicated 
student. 

Whether Dean Anderson and 
the administration want to admit 
it or not, Susquehanna holds a 
reputation for being a party 
school. It is a known fact that 
Susquehanna students like to par- 



ty. The alcohol policy did not pre 
vent students from drinking the 
weekend before Easter break, and 

will not prevent students from t 
drinking in the future. They will 
still drink as much, or even more 
elswhere, such as in dorm rooms 
and at off campus parties. 

It seems obvious that the new 
policy is NOT working in respect 
to preventing the students from 
drinking. Also, what good would 
having an alumni present at 
Fraternity parties do — it did not 
make a difference several weeks 
ago. 



Fall 1987 Admissions Internship 

The Admissions Office is accepting applications for one fall in- 
ternship position. The intern will assist full-time personnel with a 
variety of responsibilities. The ideal candidate will be sociable, 
well-organized, and enthusiastic. The applicants must be juniors 
or seniors, hold a minimum GPA of 2.5, have a diverse 
knowledge of SU, and possess the desire to learn more about the 
admissions process. The injernshiD is unpaid and for credit. 
Possible projects include assisting in the planning and: 

implementation of: 

A) The overnight visitation program. 

B) The Alumni/Parent admissions network. 

C) The Admissions newsletter. 

D) On-campus open houses. 

Applications are available in the Admissions Office. Deadline is 
Friday, May 8. If you have questions, contact Bryan Rutledge in 
Admissions (372-4260). 



I feel an analogy is appropriate 
at this time. The way the students 
are being treated is similar to this 
hypothetical example: 

For the first ten weeks of a 
semester many students came 
late on a regular basis to a class. 

The professor did not say 
anything about the tardiness of 
his students whatsoever. One day 
a few students were tardy as 

usual. The professor announced 
to the class "By the way, starting 
today I hold a new attendance 

policy. Those of you who were 
late today can subtract five points 
from your grade." In the 
hypothetical situation the pro- 
fessor all of a sudden sprung this 
new policy on the students. I feel 
the new alcohol policy was in- 
stituted in a similar manner. 

Students, don't be afraid of let- 
ting the administration know 
your opinion regarding the new 
alcohol policy or any other con- 
cern you may have about other 
school policies. 

—Lou Costanza

continued from p. 2 

twenty-one can't drink, except 
for college students?" This is no 
Utopia away from the law, here 
on campus. If you don't like PA's 
law, leave ... we don't need you! 
Actually, I have no grudges 
against anyone, minors included , 
who drinks and doesn't feel the 
need to destroy and be a pain in 
the butt at the same time . I've 
sure done my share of drinking as 
a minor and had no complaints. 
Some of these horses rear-ends on 
campus, though are showing that 
too many minors are not mature 
enough to handle their alcohol 
responsibly. 

I can just see Dean A. and the 
rest of the administration right 
now ... "Oh great, one of the 
students on our side." Well I have 
a little bone to pick with you to, 
so wipe the smile off of your face. 

Who do you think that you are 
fooling? Oh sure, were going to 
enact a new alcohol policy to 
really tighten up on illegal drink- 
ing this year. Right! Just like the 
past years, remember the L.C.B.? 

Let's scare the students for a 
month or so, then it's back to 
"what policy?" First, you did 
nothing to control the drinking 
problem this year. Now, a death 
on campus and it's panic time! 



"Tighten up on drinking and save 
our reputation." This school 

already has a rep for being a par 
ty school. Instead of making it a 
no-party school and scare people 

away, why not make it a safe par 
ty school? Enact a solid policy at 
the beginning of the year and 

make it known. Allow only those 
over twenty -one to possess 
alcohol in public and in closed 

containers. Don't look for it in 
minors' rooms; if they can drink 
without bothering others, let 
them — those are the ones you 

want. Anyone caught being 
destructive and vandalous while 
underage drinking, kick them 
out. You don't want them here. 

Remember ,the best punishments 
are dealt immediately and with 
maximum intensity. This school 
has been responsible for allowing 
minors to break the law too 

©latently, thereby suggesting that 
the University condones such ac 
tions. This evidently is why the 
minors on campus have come to 
feel the way that they do.

It's Greek to Us 



KAPPA DELTA 

Welcome back from Easter 
break (too bad it wasn't a little 
longer ... anyway). First on the 
agenda is a great Good Luck wish 
for Sister Stephanie Sarisky who's 
taking her MCAT's Sat.at 
Bucknell. Best of Luck to Dr. 
Sarisky (the surgeon) ... shell ace 
it! 

Most of this week's news is 
dedicated to our wonderous, fan- 
tabulous pledges! Wed. night 
brought our little KDs one step 
closer to initiation and sisterhood 
— someday soon girls, or maybe 
not so soon — we love you, so 
hang in! The pledges deserve a 
large round of applause and a 
special thanks for the super show 
they put on for all the sisters last 
Tues. Terrific job, girls! "Lean on 
Me" ... Food Mongers ... Lucky 
Pledge, Lucky Pledge ... KD 
Bunch ... what were the numbers 
for anyway? Sisters Bert Bianchi . 
and Lynda Buck loved those 
"signs"! Was that a swan dive 
Sister Patti Scotton did or was it 
simply a slide? Does everyone 
know the hand movements to 
American Pie now? Hey what 
happened to Angie Johnson's 
balloon? What did they do to the 
potato salad, Cary Ann Owens? I 
hear Chris Del Bueno, Kate 
Callahan and Cary Ann closed 
the place down! What an evening 
... Thanks goes out to the 
brothers of Theta Chi for their 
hospitality and congrats to their 
newly initiated brothers. 

Did you catch Sister Lauren 
Bodmer's debut performance at 
the Susquehanna Inn last night? 
Sharon Stauffer accompanied her 
on the piano, just Jike the Talent 



Show. Who were all those people 
in wigs? Excellent music, girls! 

That's about it! Until then 
(when?). To the Pledges: What 
lies over the hill? Soon you may 
know ... Take care! Hang free! 
Love in AOT and more, 

-P. La Belle 



SIGMA PHI EPSILON 

What's up dudes? Was the 
Easter Bunny good to everyone? 

I hope everybody had an en- 
joyable vacation at home. How 
about those Bros who held down 
the fort while everyone else was 
gone: LaDuke, Burnham, Stoken, 
Starkweather, Dodsworth, and 
Faust? I hope y'all weren't too 
bored. I hear that Stratego can be 
a very interesting game if played 
the right way! And, of course, 
how t>out those New York 
Islanders — 4 O.T.'s — ALL 
THE WAY TO THE CUP! 

Speaking of sports, we have 3 
new members on the PGA Tour 
— Glen Burnham, Lee Hunt, and 
Jim Faust. They just keep burn- 
ing up the greens. 

Also, we have a softball game 
today at 5: 1 5 and games Tuesday 
and Thursday next week. Come 
on out and watch some great ball! 

I would also like to say that the 
House is looking much better — 
especially after "acquiring" a few 
things: my, how that sofa and 
recliner look nice thanks to the 
Padre, right Mr. Dodsworth? 
Speaking of "acquiring," Brothers 
Karasch and Tourville went to 
find some straw on Palm Sunday 
and instead were converted to the 
Amish way of life. Nice job guys!

I am not interested in being Editor-in-Chief,

At this time 1 would like to put 
in this week's edition of Dog of 
the Week. This special award 
goes to a very special person in 
our heart: our R.D. Eric Ealey 
who hasn't "graduated from high 
school, yet" One of these days he 
will ... hopefully. The Dave 
Sweigard Syndrome is a terrible 
disease, isn't it Eric? 

Well, Friday is ZTA's formal 
and we have almost one-third of 
our brotherhood going. It should 
be a great time ... Are you going

Speaking of formals, Brother 
Matt Karasch already has a date 
for NEXT YEAR'S formal! 
Hmmm, not waiting 'til the last 
minute, huh? 

We would also like to thank 
our Golden Hearts for the 
tremendous amount of Easter 
candy they gave us — it really hit 
the spot as you can see! Stomach 
Eliminator, where are you? 

Now we finally have some nice 
Southern weather (since I'm 
writing this on Tuesday) in our 
own backyard. Time to catch 
some rays! 

Until next week with the last 
of our Senior Profiles and 
another installment of Dog of the 
Week... 

Yours Truly, 
—Russell, Inc. 
PS. Bob Bennett, did you get lots 
of candy for Easter? 
P.P.S. Only 8 days 'til 
SPRING WEEKEND!

ZETA TAU ALPHA 

Hope everyone received the 
"all-you-can-eat" basket of 
chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, 
and marshmallow chickens for 
the Easter holiday. I also hope 
everyone's long weekend and 
holiday was special. 



This past week the ZTAs were 
kept busy with their celebratory 
Zeta Days. We all joined together 
for fun-filled activities. 

Well, the school year count- 
down continues, and there ap- 
pears to be only two weeks left! 
My, how time flies when you're 
having fun. For just a moment, 
let's reflect on those days of old. 
For Zeta Tau Alpha, Greek 
Week was a proud display of 
family unity. Overall, the week 
was very rewarding for us. We 
received the Blood Cup, to make 
it three years in a row, we placed 
a proud first in the AirBand Con- 
test, a victorious first in the An- 
nual Raft Race down the Sus- 
quehanna, and a triumphant first 
place in the Banner Contest. 
Everything wasn't perfect in 
paradise for us though. We plac- 
ed third in the Greek Sing and 
Trivia Bowl, and Saturday's 
Olympics really tested the skill 
and coordination of us Zetas. At 
the day's end, we all realized that 
we are expert shoe-tiers, but our 
skill needed for running around a 
bat has a lot to be desired and still 
has some room for improvement. 

I would like to make an addi- 
tional note on the preparation of 
our banner for Greek Week. 
Pledges Barb Bentley and 
Michelle Leuser, "thank you" so 
much for expertise and artistic 
ability in helping to design our 
award-winning banner. 

A standing ovation and a 
"Bravo" for Pledge Bridget "In- 
grid" McKinley for her awesome 
and entertaining performance in 
"Graceland". Nice suit, Bridget! 

Some infamous quotes and 
comments came from the Zetas 
these past weeks: Sister Marjorie 
Cook, where did you learn to 
throw a keg? Sister Donielle 
Fanarjian, come on, you can 
blow a bigger bubble than that! 
Sister Karen Hangstrom, is that 
egg on your shirt? Sister Meg 



Farmer, nice first place event in 
the Sleaze Contest? Sister Bonnie 
Herb, have a nice trip, or do you 
need another leg in order to 
walk? Pledge Donna Willbergh, 
you look a mess! 

Lastly, we would all like to 
wish Sister Melanie Raffa a 
"Zeta-Get-Well". Her efforts at 
the Greek Olympics were com 
mendable. "Watch out for falling 
people, Mel!" 
Enjoy the sunshine everyone!

Greetings from the Ave. It's a 
good feeling (and secure) to know 
that we're finally on the home- 
stretch, and the finish line is in 
sight. Greek Week highlights- the 
"S.S. Deadweight" won the raft 
race. And that's all from Greek 
Week highlights. Our hearty con- 
gratulations go out to Randy 
Noonan and Mike Ruziska on 
the lavaliering of their 
sweethearts. Neat. We do indeed 
have newly elected officers, ready 
to face the next school-year. 
They are: President, Greg Yori; 
Vice President, Andy Bowman; 
Treasurer, Keith "Beer Bauman; 
Secretary, Mike "Bozo" Bendorf; 
Sentinel, John Fones; Inductor, 
Jeff Catt; and Social, Rob An- 
cipink. This week's Top-Ten list 
comes to us from our home office 
in Reno, Nevada, and the 
category is, "Where your college 
tuition actually goes at SU" 
Number Ten, the architectural 
phenomenon in Seibert; Number 
Nine, the libraries' yearly 
subscription to "Skin Diver" 
magazine; Number Eight, high 
inventory of Ex-Lax and Turns at 
the Health Center; Number 
Seven, fundings for local Public 
Television; Number Six, equip-

Chris "Lumpy" Pluta. Lump is a 
Sociology major from Barr- 
ington, N.J. If you can't picture 
him, you're really not alone, 
because we have trouble 
remembering what he looks like, 
too. We always will remember 
Chris for his footsteps and his 
nutty questions like "Did 
anybody check the soups?", 
"What time is Bootsy getting 
here?", and "Are any of you 
(seniors) sticking around for 
Senior Week?" We are happy 
that Lump will marry his high 
school sweetheart in October, 
and our best wishes go out to the 
two. Lump is the brains behind 
our winning floats and rafts. You 
will be able to catch Lump 
without fail by a ringing

SIGMA KAPPA 

Hey Now! Hope y'all have a 
bippin' long weekend. We are 
now in the final stretch ... 2 more 
weeks. Soon, well journey our 
separatehighways, BUT UNTIL 
THEN ... let's party 'til it hurts. 
Before further adieu, let's get on- 
to the good stuff. 

The date: April 11th, The 
Place: Susquehanna Inn, The 
Event: Sigma K's 1987 Spring 
Formal. Although we're way past 
this event, the memories are still 
fresh on the minds of many. The 
smiles were flying, the laughter 
was floating and the cocktails 
were flowing all night long. The 
food was great, the tunes were 
rockin' and the guests were total- 
ly awesome. 

This ghost writer is not one for 
dishing out abuse (huh-huh) so 
further degrading and embarrass- 
ing comments will not be seen in 
this column. However, a few "in- 
cidents" just cannot be overlook- 
ed. 

This formal was so fun that 
even the Selinsgrove Police 
Department and Ambulance 
Corp. wanted to get in the action, 
(pre-initiate Defrate literally took 
her dates breath away) Sister 
Eisenhard — was there somethin' 
wrong with the food that you had 
to go elsewhere? The annual 
misplaced AOC award was 
received by sisters Frost, Nees 
and a whole heck of a lot of 
others I'm sure. Pre-initiate Terry 
DeMott won the contest and now 
holds the record for procrastina- 
tion ... who will ever beat an hour 
beforehand? The slyest move was 
given to the recipients at the 
round table and there was a great 
slumber party in Aikens 58 (inno- 
cent comment there).

And of course we cannot 
overlook the Freebird award. 
Nominees include sisters 

Nancy Stepsus, Barb Bakeman, 
Paula Vincint, Linda Knutson 
and Holly Whittaker ... hey girls 
-PDA you definately are not shy 
about. Anyway, thanks go to 
D.J.'s Greg and Todd and to all 
those who attended. 

A few brief memos before sign- 
ing off (plus the fact that 
someone is holding a very nasty 
bucket of mud over my head 
right now) ... Congrats to sister 
Karen Buchanon for receiving a 
national cheerleading citation last 
month and a very special con- 
gratulations to alumni Mary 
Ellen Morgan for her up and 
coming BIG DAY! 



A special note to our pre- 
initiates ... you are our lifetime 
friends. Because of the beauty 
you have inside you, we cannot 
express to you how lucky we all 
feel to have vou in our lives! 



Until next week ... let us part 
friends (please?!)

Quote of The Week ... 

To be nobody in a world which 
is trying its best to make you 
somebody else — means to fight 
the hardest battle which any 
human being can fight; and never 
stop fighting.

He's a letch. And he's sidesplit- 
tingly funny. Mark-Linn Baker is 
wonderful as the poor jerk who 
has to squire OToole around, 

and so is Lainie Kazan as Baker's

charming fifties atmosphere, and 
the denouement reminds us what 
physical comedy is all about.

Crusaders Look To Playoffs 



Housing 



Susquehanna University 
baseball team stayed in conten- 
tion to capture their third con- 
secutive Middle Atlantic Con- 
ference (MAC)-NW division 
championship by sweeping a 
doubleheader against Albright. 

Playing without starters Jim 
Hanlon (broken right hand) and 
Jeff Cole (injured left hand) the 
Crusaders used the long ball in 
the opener and out slugged the 
home standing Lions for a 12-9 
victory. The Orange and Maroon 
scored three times in the top of 
the first inning to jump out to an 
early lead against losing pitcher 
Chris Moyer. 

Bill Mueller opened the game 
with a walk and moved around to 
third on a single by Drew 
Paradine. Co-Captain Tom Smith 
then plated Mueller with the first 
run on a sacrifice fly, before Dan 
Barker walked to put runners on 
first and second. Bill Sofio then 
culminated the first inning scor- 
ing when he laced a double to the 
gdp in right-center field that 
scored Paradine and Barker. 

Susquehanna added another 
run in the second when Paradine 
doubled wtih two outs to score 
Steve Haas, who had led-off with 
a single. 



The big bats then came alive in 
the third inning as the Crusader 
bats scored four times and laun- 
ched three of their game total six 
home runs to take an apparently 
comfortable 8-0 lead. 

The Lions didn't give up 
without a fight as they posted a 
six spot in the bottom of the 
fourth inning, also relying on the 
long ball. Julian Brown led-off 
with a home run to left field, 
before starting pitcher Scott 
Krzykowski was forced to leave 
the game after being struck with 
a line drive on his right arm off , 
the bat of Doug Filidore. 

Bob Stravinski then hit 
Albright's second homer of the 
inning, a two-run shot, and Ken 
Janseen added a two-run home 
run for the third homer of the in- 
ning, and the Susquehanna lead 
had been cut to 8-6. 

Paradine then upped the 
Orange and Maroon lead to 10-6 
with a two-run homer to center 
field. Albright answered with two 
runs in the bottom of the inning 
to cut the lead to 10-8. 

Sofio started off the seventh in- 
ning with his second homer of the 
game, a frozen rope over the left 
field wall to give SU an 1 1-8 lead, 
before Guinan closed out the 



Crusaders scoring with his first 
collegiate home run. 

Albright got a run in the bot- 
tom of the seventh and had two 
men on with no outs, but Sofio 
came in to retire the next three 
batters to record his third save of 
the sesaon and make a winner of 
reliever Pete Joachim. 

The second game was an en- 
tirely different story, as senior co- 
captain Glen Leary tossed a 
masterful five-hit shutout to 
notch his third victory of the 
season, in the 7-0 win. 

In the conference, Susquehan- 
na and Elizabethtown are tied for 
first with 7-3 records, while 
Juniata is still in the title hunt 
with a 6-2 mark. Elizabethtown 
and Juniata play tomorrow in a 
crucial doubleheader, and the 
Crusaders travel to face the In- 
dians of Juniata on Tuesday for 
what could be the division title. If 
Susquehanna would end up tied 
with either Elizabethtown or 
Juniata, they would be forced to 
play a playoff game sometime 
this upcoming week, with the 
winner representing the NW divi- 
sion in the MAC playoffs on 
April 2 in Reading.

architects, and two Borough pro- 
cesses have been completed. 
Also, the sewer and water 
authorities have been consulted 
once. However, there are more 
Borough processes to go through, 
and the sewer and water 
authorities must be met with 
again. Another hurdle is crossing 
the railroad tracks. This, accor- 
ding to controller Mr. Don 
Aungst, is a very expensive thing 
to do. 
If all goes well Jt looks likejhe 



town houses could be available to 
students by January 198jt. They 
will be University-owned and 
part of the SU residence system 
They would be used somewhat 
like Seibert is now, with students 
applying to live there. It is hoped 
to have sixteen units; fifteen 
would house four students each. 
The sixteenth would house an 
adult resident, most probably so- 
meone on the Student Life Staff. 
Just remember, the town 
houses, at this point, are only a 
concept, but let's hope the 
possibility can become a reality.

Friday, April 24, 1987-THE CRUSADER-Page 9 



—Eric Diesel 



With spring's blessed final ar- 
rival, young men and women's 
thoughts can finally turn to 
thoughts of love. To further that 
development, here are some 
films, all available on 
videocassette, guaranteed to 
leave you smiling by the last 

frame. 

THE SURE THING, 1985, is 
a small miracle: a teenage movie 
which doesn't reduce its audience 
to trashy party freaks, and a love 
story which doesn't wallow in 
sogginess. Instead, it's the 
sometimes sweet/sometimes tart 
story of two college kids' (John 
Cusack, Daphne Zuniga) trip 
across the country. Naturally, 
they're as different as day and 
night and naturally, opposites at- 
tract. And how wonderful that 
when the couple kisses, it actually 
means something. 

DESPERATELY SEEKING 
SUSAN, 1985, is a screwball 
comedy with one original twist: it 
occurs in Greenwich Village, a 
bored housewife (Rosanna Ar- 
quette) who has been following 
the ads in the Village Voice 



decides to impersonate the 
sought-after Susan in the title. 
What follows is the usual 
amnesia/mobster stuff, but the 
way the movie hops around New 
York and the cast of truly bizarre 
characters override predictability. 
Extra bonus: seeing Madonna as 
the title character, back when she 
was still just a girl singer. 

TESS, 1980, is not a happy 
movie, but it is a most touching 
and deeply satisfying one. 
Nastassja Kinski plays the title 
role, a 17th century girl who gets 
used, abused, and misused by 
every man on the planet (or so it 
seems). It shows how Tess, in- 
telligent but naive, is gradually 
destroyed by the monstrous male 
ego. TESS has what YENTL 
lacked: the poetry of tragedy. 
After all, it is a strangely 
beautiful notion that Tess is 
forever on the brink of discover- 
ing the happiness she deserves. 

I cannot sing enough praises 
about MY BEAUTIFUL 
LAUNDERETTE, 1986. This is 
a meandering fable of a film, with 
not much plotwise but a

fascinating look into, of all 
things, London's Pakistani com- 
munity. The laundromat of the ti- 
tle represents the culmination of 
hope: can the boy get out of the 
ghetto? This is not an easy film to 
see, but once you understand its 
message (about opening up, 
becoming available to opportuni- 
ty), you'll find it impossible to 
frown. 

Mel Brooks' finest work is 
SILENT MOVIE, 1976, an 
unholy look at Hollywood. 
Brooks is a naked film maker; 
hell do anything for a laugh. 
Anything. And in SILENT 
MOVIE, he does. The gags come 
flying at a mile-a-minute, and 
some moments are so funny 
you're still laughing about them 
when the next funny moment 
comes along. To this avalanche 
of laughs Brooks has added a 
huge cast of mostly uncredited 
performers, and it's fun to play 
count-the«ameos. Just so you 
know; the movie isn't entirely 
silent; there's music, explosions, 
crashes, sound effects, and, yes, 
one word. 



Nostalgia buffs have got to 
love MY FAVORITE YEAR, 
1982, about a snotty English 
movie star (Peter OToole) who 



wreaks havoc during his guest ap- 
pearance on a 1950's TV show.. 

He's a drunk. He's disrespectful.

There has been a rumor 
floating around campus since 
spring break in March concern- 
ing the Crusader Castle snack 
bar. The rumor contended that a 
health officialcame in over spring 
break to inspect the snack bar 
facilities. It then held that he 
found the kitchen area of the 
snack bar in a messy condition 
and declared it unfit for opera- 
tion. Then, rumor has it, the 
snack bar was padlocked and put 
out of operation. 

Joe Wolfe, manager of the 
snack bar, would like to dispell all 
of these unfounded rumors. Ac- 
cording to Wolfe, what happened 



over spring break was quite dif- 
ferent. Rich Woods, security 
director at Susquehanna, was 
making his rounds through the 
Campus Center and found 
several areas of the snack bar left 
uncleaned. Some areas, mainly 
floor areas, weren't completely 
cleaned before break and others 
were uncleanable due to the 
nature of the substances. Wolfe 
says that the uncleanable areas 
shall be replaced soon. He would 
also like to add that all the proper 
cleaning was done immediately 
after break by snack bar workers 
and that no health officials came 
in to shut them down.

Greek Insecurity 



Attending Susquehanna. 
University has conditioned my 
m ind to equate the word brother 
or sister with fraternities and 
sororities. These images leave me 

completely disillusioned with the 
greek concept. I believe a male or 
female can attain brotherhood or 
sisterhood without the aid of 

greek organizations. The greek 
society at Susquehanna totally 
exemplifies insecurity and a com- 
plete lack of individuality. If you 
look deeply enough you will pro- 
bably find a large sum of high 
school success stories or wealthy 
princesses who find it difficult to 
achieve success or find a social 
niche in college. The difficulty to 



reinforce their identity can simp- 
ly be seen on someones T-shirt or 
sweatshirt. I found the hypocracy 
of the recent Greek Week 
"United we stand" motto quite 
comical. Do you really believe 
you're united? My honest assess- 
ment of the whole system is that 
most of the Greeks are lost in the 
unrealistic atmosphere which 
they made themselves victims of 
the moment they decided to 
pledge. The Greeks should learn 
that the real world offers no 
organization to conveniently pro- 
vide friendship. They should ex- 
amine their existence as Greeks 
and try to get a grasp on reality. 
Then only will they discover and 
realize that there is a world out 
side of their own.

Tennis Takes Fourth Straight 



Susquehanna University men's 
tennis team travels to Drew (N.J.) 
University Friday, April 24 for- 
the Middle Atlantic Conference 
(MAC) Northern Division cham- 
pionship match. 

Susquehanna won its fourth 
consecutive MAC-Northwest 
League title yesterday with a 9-0 
shutout of Wilkes College, 
pushing its overall record to 8-3. 
Drew defeated the University of 
Scranton yesterday to claim the 
MAC-Northeast crown. 

The winner of the 
Susquehanna-Drew match will 
host the Southern Division cham- 
pion the following day for the 
overall conference title. 

The Crusaders, who have won 
eight of their last nine matches 
after dropping their first two 
outings of the season, captured 
the title by the narrowest of 
margins. 

Susquehanna finished with a 
4-1 league record, as did Albright 
and Juniata colleges. 
However, the Orange and 
Maroon netters got the nod by 
winning 10 individual matches in 
their contests against Albright 
(6-3 win) and Juniata (5-4 loss). 
The other two teams each had 
nine individual wins in matches 
among the three tied teams. 

"Winning the title this year is 
more satisfying than in 1 985 and 
1986," head coach Gary Fincke 
noted. "We had to restructure 



our line-up completely with the 
graduation of four top-notch 
players." Fincke is in his seventh 
year as Crusader coach and has a 
career record of 50-33. 

Each member of 

Susquehanna's singles squad has 
posted a winning mark. Team 
captain Pat Sterrett, a senior, and 
junior Paul Sultan have been the 
most successful, each capturing 
nine of their 1 1 matches. 

Sophomore David Cooley is 
8-3 at fourth and fifth singles and 
senior Matt Fager is 7-4 in the 
third slot. 

A pair of freshmen also are 
playing well in their first col- 
legiate season. At first singles, 
Chris Biddle is 6-4. Graham 
D'Alvia stepped into the line-up' 
at fourth singles midway through 
the season and has responded by 
winning four of six matches. 

Susquehanna's first doubles 
combination of Biddle and Ster- 
rett is 5-2. Sultan has teamed 
with freshman Pete Comber for a 
4-2 second doubles record. 

In the third spot, Cooley has 
played with three different part- 
ners and wound up with a 5-1 
mark. For the Drew match, he is 
expected to take the court with 
freshman Greg Hartgers.

Biddle and Sterrett are schedul-

SPORTS CORNER 



Back after a week off, and 
what a start the 1987 baseball 
season has gotten off to. Only 
two weeks into the regular season 
and we have seen a no-hitter by 
Juan Nieves of the Brewers, Mike 
Schmidt's 500th home run and 
Milwaukee tying a record for the 
fastest start by winning their first 
thirteen games. 

As you may remember, the 
past two weeks I gave my predic- 
tions on who would win each 
division in the major leagues. I 
chose the Mets in the NL East, 
they're in second, the Reds in the 
NL West, only Vi game out of 
first place, so my picks in the Na- 
tional League are doing alright. 

However, the American 
League is a different story. As I 
mentioned earlier, Milwaukee is 
1 3-0 and in first place, but I chose 
them to finish last. Minnesota is 
the early front runner in the AL 
West, having been picked to 
finish sixth by me, while my first 
pick selection, Texas, has just one 
win in eleven games. 

Will somebody please wake up 
the Milwaukee Brewers? Sure, 
they are not a bad ball club, but 
in a division featuring such 
powerhouses as the Yankees, 
Tigers, Red Sox and Blue Jays, 
they look dominating. Rob Deer 
(.429 BA, 7 HR, 17 RBI) is the 
main reason this team has 
started so well, but veterans like 
Paul Molitor and Robin Yount, 
who were around during the 
championship season in 1980, are 
the stabilizing force for this 
young squad under first year 
coach Tom Trebelhorn. 

Two key injuries to the St. 
Louis Cardinals over this past 
week have sidelined their starting 



catcher and number one pitcher. 
John Tudor wasn't even play- 
ing when he broke a bone in his 
knee that will put the lefthander 
on the shelf for three months. In 
Sunday's game with the Mets, 
Tudor tried to help Mets catcher 
Barry Lyons from injuring 
himself as he crashed into the 
Cardinal dugout after chasing a 
foul pop. Lyons came out of the 
incident unscathed, and Tudor 
was the one injured. 

Congratulations are in order 
for Phillies third baseman Mike 
Schmidt who became only the 
fourteenth player in major league 
history to hit 500 home runs in a 
career. 

Schmidt's historic blast, a 
three-run shot, was off of Pirate 
reliever Don Robinson in the 
ninth inning with Philadelphia 
trailing 6-5. 



Another first year manager, 
San Diego's Larry Bowa, isn't 
having as much success as] 
Brewers Skipper Trebelhorn. The 
Padres own the worst record in! 
the National League (2-11), and 
Bowa has already benched Steve 
Garvey. In one of the team's two 
victories, a 3-2 win last Thursday 
against the Dodgers, Bowa fined' 
Tony Gwynn $100 for missing a i 
sign despite the fact Gwynn got | 
the game winning hit. 

Enough about baseball, let's | 
finish with a few words about last 
Saturday's playoff game between] 
the New York Islanders and the 
Washington Capitals that went; 
into fourth overtime periods. 

Both goaltenders, Bob Mason i 

of Washington (54 saves) and the | 

Isles Kelly Hrudy (73 saves), were | 

spectacular and came up with

Driving Away 



The Susquehanna University 
golf team aims to improve upon 
its 1986 Middle Atlantic Con- 
ference (MAC) tournament 
showing at this year's event, 
scheduled for April 25 and 26 at 
the Shawnee Inn and Country 
Club. 

Susquehanna finished 12th out 
of 2 1 teams at last year's affair, 
also held at the Shawnee course 
near Stroudsburg. The course is 
made up of three nine-hole 
layouts, each with a par of 367. 

Each school may enter five 
players for the 54-hole event, 
with the golfers playing each 
course both days. The top four in- 



^ doionsjhirs 



dividual scores are used to com! 
pute the team total. 

Head coach Greg Felty feels 1 
confident that the 1987 team will 
wind up in the MAC top 10. The 
third-year coach added that his 
squad could finish in the top five 
if it played extremely well. The 
Crusaders currently are 1610 
after finishing fifth in a ten-team j 
match hosted by Dickinson Col- 1 
lege April 20. 

Susquehanna's golfers most I 
likely will be freshman Rob Cor j 
setto, sophomores Mark Aimone ! 
and Rob Fricke and senior co- 1 
captains Joe Karoly and Da ve i 
Skarbek. 

Corsetto is the Crusaders' low j 
scorer, averaging just 82.8] 
strokes per round. Skarbek is next I 
with an 83 average. Karoly and i 
Fricke each are averaging $] 
strokes per round. Aimone' 
averages 87.4 strokes pe f 
holes. 

Susquehanna travels to Lock 
Haven University today for it* 
final tune-up before the MAC 
tournament and concludes its 
season with an April 29 match at 
Gettysburg College.
