Panel Discusses U.S. In Grenada by Jennifer K. Matesa Staff Writer The Curriculum Committee of the Standing Committees of the Faculty proposed to the faculty that a Calendar sub- committee be established. The function of this group is to ascertain what steps should be taken to switch from our present 3-3 calendar to a modified two 14-week semester program. On the new calendar, stu- dents would begin the first semester in late August. They would have several days vacation for Thanksgiving, and first se- A Campus Feature by Steve Watson "Friends don't do that to friends" is one Allegheny vic- tim's way of describing what may be an epidemic on college campuses today. Until recently no one has talked much about acquaintance or "date" rape, but facts are surfacing that link acquaintance rape to a "wide- spread phenomenon" prevalent in society of the 80's. One of the more recent accounts of this phenomenon on college campuses occured at Duke University in North Caro- lina involving the Beta Phi Zeta fraternity, in what is commonly known as a group rape or "gang bang." A woman, who had had too much to drink, had the misfortune of passing out in a bedroom of the fraternity house. She was then allegedly raped by several men. The victim later told the dean, "she had been a willing participant and had had intercourse with only two of the men." After hearing of a second incident where fraternity brothers sent a pledge to find "a drunk woman for a gang bang," the administration moved a- gainst the fraternity and in- vestigations were pursued. The mester would end approximately on December 15. Students would return for second semester about January 20, receive a few days for Easter vacation, and leave for the summer around May 8. Students would still be re- quired to complete 9 credits per year under the new system. This entails a schedule of four courses plus an extended course each term. Comping seniors would be required to take four courses each term while comping all year. Dean Skinner gave many reasons for the potential passing fraternity was ultimately dis- banded on Duke's campus. A small school like Al- legheny, however, is just as susceptible to acquaintance rape cases as a large university. The number of reported cases may be less, but rape between friends, boy/girl friends and acquaintances does occur. Al- legheny student Sue (not her real name) was one victim. "I had come home from class and I was just sitting around watching television. I was by myself in my apartment and the phone rang. A male voice said, "Hi, what are you doing?" I said, "Nothing." "Why don't you come over for a few beers?" he said. "Who is this," I asked. "He didn't tell. me who it was and I was shocked because we were friends. I went over to his place and we sat around and watched television and drank. We ran out of beer, so we went and got some more. At this point the two of us were pretty loaded. He started getting closer and I started to scoot away, he would get closer and I would scoot away. Then I got up and sat someplace else. The next thing I knew he was on top of me." of the semester system. Accord- ing to Skinner, many members of the faculty prefer semesters. Those promoting the semes- ter plan say that the students will have an easier time of completing their work load because of the longer terms. Because of this, they also predict more student involvement in extra-curricular campus activi- ties. Also mentioned was the supposed convenience of the calendar for the Christmas holi- days. Another advantage stated concerns the reduction of costs in mailings and administration. With the 3-3 term plan all letters, statements, and other mailings are sent out three times, while the semester system would only demand two mailings, thus cutting costs. Also, less administrative ef- fort would be involved in registration and the calculation of financial aid. Doing these twice rather than three times would cut red tape and thus cut costs. But, says Skinner, "no change in billing can be inferred from this reduction in costs." A flexible class length is also another cited advantage.

The side in favor of the invasion included Allegheny faculty members Archer Blood, diplomat-in-residence, and economics professor Basil Browne. Blood, the first speaker, called the invasion a "legitimate and justifiable action of U.S. power," and added that he was there to present "the Reagan administration's posi- tion." "There are places and times where force, if judiciously used, can solve problems," Blood said.

The mix up occurred after the students took the LSAT at the Davidson testing center. "We want to hang the post office," said Juleigh Sitton, 21, a senior at Davidson College, who wants to go to a Southeast or Ivy League law school. "We returned the sample sheets and writing tests as we always have," said Catherine Wilson, a counseling center secretary. Wilson said she has helped administer nationally sponsored tests for 17 years. But somewhere between Davidson and Newton, Pa., where Law School Admission Services is located, the standard- ized score sheets and essay papers got lost in the mail. The admission services sent a representative to check out Davidson's procedures, which were found to be perfect. U.S. Postal Service officials said they put tracers on the tests October 19 and October 25 without success. Three Allegheny pre-law students were asked what their reactions would be if they had completed one of the lost tests. Matthew Peterson said he would be "outraged and demand an apology, but there is probably not a lot that can be done." Doug Clark said," I would be extremely angry." Julie Grosjean explained, "Initially, I would be extremely upset, but what could you do about it." Grosjean added, "For my own personal interest, I would make inquiries with the person responsible for sending the test." Peterson, Clark, and Grosjean all agreed they would have to resign themselves to retaking the exam. A spokeswoman for the services' Washington-based Law School Admissions Council said, " It was the first case of missing tests since the services began testing in 1947." Admission services' officials are contacting the schools that were to receive the students' scores. A second test, scheduled for December 3, will be admin- istered free to the 49 students.

Following Blood's and Ward's arguments, political science stu- dents studying with Poulsen's presented reactions from European countries received through telephone interviews with embassies in the U.S. (CPS) -- The top executives of the biggest companies in the U.S. -- generally assumed to be major supporters of the Reagan administration -- differ sharply with the president over some education issues, according to a new poll of business leaders' views of education. The majority of the business leaders asked favored forming a national policy to enforce school excellence, reports Mary Kay Harrity of Research & Forecasts, Inc., the New York-based polling firm that did the survey. President Reagan frequently has advocated leaving education policies up to the states, and setting up the federal govern- ment only as a sort of education clearinghouse. A majority of executives of firms that rank among the 1300 largest corporations listed by Fortune Magazine favored in- creasing teachers' salaries, but according to merit, not senior- ity, Harrity adds. Most of the business leaders also believed trade schools would become a more important part of the American education- al system, that students should have to pass competency tests to be promoted to the next grade, and that schools should make computer courses mandatory. Despite favoring a national education policy, however, the executives were split on devoting more federal money to improv- ing math and science courses in schools. President Reagan un- veiled plans for such additional funding over the summer. The president and business leaders agreed on other educa- tion matters, however.

The guests at the picnic included 15 adults and children from the area, all of whom are afflicted with cerebral palsy. As well as being served dinner by UCP, the guests were enter- tained by members of Alpha Delta Pi who performed songs and skits.

Classes on Tuesday and Thurs- day would be 75 minutes long. Saturday classes would be elimi- nated, thus creating a schedule of four classes per week, each class totaling 150 minutes. Professor Bill Delamarter, chairman of the Calendar Com- mittee, gave no specific reason for the change. He stated that in general, the faculty wants to provide the best education pos- sible and they think "this might be a good way to do that." Delamarter stressed that the faculty will act in the students' best interest. "No one is trying to impose anything on the students," said Delamarter. He made it clear, however, that it is entirely up to the faculty to decide whether or not this change is effected. The Calendar Committee has sent a questionnaire to the administration and faculty ask- ing for the impact and depart- mental changes expected should the semester system go into effect. The committee plans to col- lect information and input until mid-January, and it hopes to have a final document drawn up and presented to the faculty for decision by the middle of Winter Term. WORLD NEWS Deployment Of Nuclear Missiles Begins (AP) - The Reagan administration provided details of its latest arms-control proposal as the first of a scheduled new deployment of nuclear missiles began arriving in Britain. The Soviets called the Reagan offer unacceptable and still appeared prepared to walk out of the Geneva arms-control talks. The administration plan, offered yesterday, would set a limit of 420 warheads on intermediate-range missiles deployed in Europe and Asia by either the U.S. or the Soviets. The proposal gives details of a set of arms-control concessions offered by President Reagan in a speech before the United Nations in September.

"When a rapist is a friend or date," says Ellen Doherty, coor- dinator of the Rape Intervention Program at New York's St. Lukes-Roosevelt hospital, "not only has a woman's body been violated, but her trust in another human being has been betrayed, and her faith in her own judge- ment has been shaken." Allegheny's campus, due to its small size and relatively close student body is a cover-up in itself. Victims see their at- tackers daily whether in the classroom, in the lunch line, or at a Saturday night party. "I see him everyday on campus, and I even talk to him," says Sue, "but I would never never con- sider him a friend again. I feel since I know him and the campus is small, I shouldn't Students like Sue who have experienced this kind of rape, often feel guilt and anger. "I was real guilty, it was all my fault. I saw him coming on to me and I didn't leave." Emo- tions like guilt and anger hide the true evidence of date rape. Victims, who report their stor- ies, reveal not only themselves and their attackers but personal feelings which they may not be ready to reveal. According to Ladies' Home Journal, "lack of peer support, shock, humilia- tion, and fear of social stigma keep the majority of rape victims from ever reporting the crime," Along with the guilt and anger a woman feels comes the question of why a male acquain- tance would force sex on a girl he knew. Why wouldn't he stop, specially if she was giving him lgnais of her disapproval? Sue escribed her attacker as using more force than intimidation" taking it impossible for her to ,et away. "He was twice my size." Sue feels there were many reasons behind her friend's mad- ness that day, but finds it difficult to pinpoint just one cause. "It could have been he hadn't gotten anything from his girlfriend lately," says Sue, "or maybe he just wanted it bad enough." Recently, Texas' University of Auburn conducted a study in which they discovered "nearly one out of every six male students questioned admitted to forcing women to have sex with them," In another study con- ducted by Dr. Mary Koss of Kent State University, 4.3 per- cent of the men surveyed "admitted to the use of violence to obtain sex while an additional 27 percent had used lesser degrees of physical and emo- tional force when a woman was unwilling to have sex with them." Other studies have derived theories as to the sexual drive in men, and what causes men to become overbearing with female friends. A University of Con- necticut study revealed that male sexual aggression seemed to be taken for granted by students of both sexes, "What do you expect--a lot of guys are ani- mals" one UConn male com- ments amiably. "Well you always try to score--how far you push it depends on who you are," says his roommate. "Or how drunk you are," a third adds. A weak male ego, anger, rumor that a girl 'puts out,' attractiveness in dresi and flirta- tious women all contribute to hormonal excitement in college males. For those more conser- vative, a few too many drinks can lower inhibitions enough to make the man "primitive and brutal." Another UConn male comments on sexual aggression by saying, "it works pretty often, so why not?" while still another says "I guess it's hard to believe a girl really minds that much." Sue's assailant may have been influenced by one or all of these factors the night his inhibitions were dropped. Most likely the guilt of his act passed within a few days or even a few hours. But for Sue his attack has longer lasting social implications. "Very seldom do I go anywhere by myself" she says. "I'm real careful if a friend calls up and says come over for a beer. I don't just say, O.K., I'll be over. I ask who Is going to be there." Koss says, "It's sensible, for women students, to be appro- priately wary (of social situa- tions). A female student may have to contend with a sizable minority of men who will press her to go to bed with them whether she wants to or not," "I'm sure the situation has happened to many people, it is not isolated," says Sue. Aware of the commonality of date rape on this campus, Sue offers some advice to recent victims. "If it happens, the one thing is don't you yourself feel guilty, because it is not your fault," Fact: Rape is a crime of violence characterized by force, brutality and subjugation of the victim. Force should be un- necessary if the motive is purely sexual, NTER TERM CALENDAR JANUARY January 2 Residence Halls open for Winter Term, 12:00 noon.

Already in operation are computer literacy courses for students and still to come within the next five years are a computer catalog system for the library, faculty development programs, and the installation of an all encompassing computer network. The cost of the master plan eventually will be $3,334,760. One half million dollars has been granted by the Pew Foundation to be used for computer literacy, faculty development and the purchase of hardware. The hardware purchased is already rolling in and so are problems brought on by lack of . planning for distribution for the computers, and greedy departments all eager to jump on the corn- pater bandwagon. editorial At present, there are 20 IBM personal computer's (PC's) being used as word processors in the basement of the library. Each unit costs approximately $3000. There are 11 more PC's stored in crates in the basement of the library that will remain unused until Ford distributes them, when and where he sees fit. The T11- is an ad- visory committee to Ford and all final decisions are made by hini So far the FIF's advise for distribution as been veteoed leaving $33,000 of hardware in storage. Twenty more units will be here by the end of Dec., 91 in all by the end of Mar. and 150 by the end of Aug 1984. Again Ford will place each unit throughout campus by interpreting the guidelines of the master plan. As he has interpreted it so far, lack of space and lack of staff could be the reasons for the 11 unused units. With 150 units ex- pected, lack of space and staff seems like it will become a greater problem. Could the confusion caused by the arrival of the units have anything to do with the 1 - 11- itself? It has been questioned why the top leaders of the 1"11-: and the chief advisors to Ford are not in the computer science department. And why is it that some people in the computer science department refer to the TTF as "The Tragedy Task Force?" The fact that the master plan intends to make the computer development appropriate for a liberal arts study, does not seem to be a substantial reason for the cause of animosity between some members of the computer science department and the master- planners of the '1 FF. The money spent on hardware and the number of units pur- chased will become obsolete if software is not purchased to com- plete the computerized set. The TTF chairperson has hopes of faculty members and students designing their own software to be used throughout the networking. However, some computer science majors have expressed concern about the qualifications of those designing the software and the amount of time it would take to effectively design it. The process would take years to develop, but the hardware is here now. The units would not be used to their full potential just like they are not being used to their full potential by sitting in crates in the library baserrent. Do we need a master plan such as this for a campus of our size? Are the T IF and Ford going about it in the right way? Is the extent of development really progressive of merely jumping on the com- puter bandwagon and why isn't the current computer science department jumping as high as the liberal arts advocates? Is it archaic to think that the telephone, typewriter and post office are forms of networking? And is wiring the campus in this manner a master plan for progress or a master plan to make Allegheny appear as if it is progressing? Last week's Campus editorial concerning the revitalization of the Campus Center has aroused much discussion among many Allegheny students. We do not agree entirely with the suggested changes, although some of the ideas mentioned will certainly be beneficial to the college corn- munity. The relocation of the book- store is a long-needed improve- ment. Currently the book- store/cellar does not appeal to the customer whatsoever. If a visitor by chance even finds the place, he is met with a dimly-lit, cramped room which does not permit two shoppers to pass in the same aisle without clobber- ing each other. And every student here has experienced the headache of trying to buy books at the beginning of each term, with all the texts needed by the entire student body located in one tiny corner of the base- ment. Clearly the bookstore needs to be expanded to some larger location, with the C.C. being a reasonable alternative. Meanwhile, the vacant basement of Cochran Hall would be an ideal spot for the new word processors that the college is now considering. However, the move of the post office into the Campus Center may not be such a good idea. The post office, as it stands now, is in its optimum location. Conveniently centered among the college buildings, the post office is always accessible on the way back from class. The old-fashioned mailboxes certain- ly add to its appeal. Further- more, one can imagine with horror the "junk mail" usually contained in the post office scattered all over the C.C., or, worse yet, seeing it flying in the form of paper airplanes from the balcony into the lobby. Even the lawn of the C.C. would soon look terrible with many foot- paths. The post office serves its purpose perfectly in its present location. Some other points to con- sider: 1) Moving WARC to the C.C. would enhance the visibility of the radio station. 2) The present location of the bookstore is hidden and not easily found. Since the building most visitors enter first is the Campus Center, a bookstore there would yield an opportun- ity to increase sales. 3) Since the aesthetic appeal of the C.C. does leave a little to be To the manager of Brooks Dining Hall, I am curious as to whether or not you feel last night's Thanks- giving dinner was sufficiently and properly conducted. Did you find that it was well organ- ized, despite the fact that most students were waiting in a line that extended into Brooks Circle for nearly twenty minutes? In my opinion, it was an atrocity. Granted, it was a special meal, and well worth the wait, but there was obviously not enough time spent on the planning of such an event. Certainly, putting together these meals is not a new practice for the dining halls. Therefore I do not understand why the format desired, why not let the talented art students at Allegheny have a shot at improving its appear- ance? 4) If the administration is looking to make the C.C. more of a gathering place, why not open up a college pub some- where in the Campus Center? This would give students an alternative to fraternity parties and Meadville bars as a center of social activity. Let's not be too hasty in changing the C.C. into an overnight success. Leave the post office in its present posi- tion, but give priority to the relocation of the bookstore. As we see it this is the most-needed modification of the campus at the present time. Jeff Pendleton John Fulton is not altered in anticipation of the chaos that could be avoided. As a newcomer to Brooks, I am accustomed to the manner in which South dining hall con- ducts its special dinners and holiday buffets. In two years I cannot recall encountering such a fiasco like the one I endured last night. I think I am speaking for several when I describe the feelings of frustration and dis- gust I experienced, standing idle in the line waiting to enter the dining hall. Once inside, the situation was compounded as the line to get food advanced all of 3 feet every seven minutes. continued on page 8 fliers to the Editor Caution Urged In C.C. Changes Brooks Chaos An Atrocity CAMPUS Wednesday, November 16, 1983 Page 7 Editorial/Opinion Childhood Excursions And Fond Memories Of Autumn by Matthew M. Coyne Ed. Page Editor The fall season is a special time of the year for me. Some of my fondest memories have their origins in autumnal excur- sions as a child. I remember the mindless joy of jumping into a big pile of leaves my father had just raked. I remember my subsequent anger towards him when he failed to inform me that that particular pile was on fire. I remember the thrill of entering the fourth grade and finally being able to "change classes" like the big kids did. I remember changing. class for the first time on that crisp October day. I chose the desk that Marilyn Kasmerski had recently thrown up in just the class before. I remember the elation I felt when I tried on my Super Pro 99 ice skates a month early and found that they still fit. I distinctly remember my mother's screams when she dis- covered the slash marks in the kitchen floor propogated by my pre-season practicing. I remember my boyish satis- faction in completing my first tree fort in a huge maple tree in our backyard. The last sound I heard was the cracking of the rotted wood before the lawn hit me in the face. I remember trick-or-treating in my Indian costume under a full October moon. Ants got into my candy reserve that I had stashed in my closet and the whole room had to be fumi- gated. I remember my mother taking me to the park to collect pine cones for the Christmas wreath she made each year. A week later I learned that poison ivy has a longer season than I had previously thought. I remember the cool smell of dry wood and old soot as my father lit the first fire of autumn in our fireplace. I still recall my first attempt at surprising my parents by building a fire of my very own. The hook and ladder barely fit in the driveway, but the V.F.D. put out the family room rug just the same. I remember going shopping at Kaufmann's in downtown Pittsburgh with my mother and clinging to her hand in the pre-Christmas crowds. I don't know how it happened, but the large black woman whose hand I ended up with helped me find my real mother despite my blood-curdling screams. I remember going down to the local farm market and picking out the biggest, brightest pumpkin I could find. My parent's biggest mistake was allowing me to carve it by myself and to my own specifi- cations. To this day, my father still denies me the use of his circular saw. I remember going to the pediatrician for my annual fall check-up and hoping to God that he'd put the thermometer in my mouth for once. I remember playing kick-the- can with the other neighborhood kids on dusky November even- ings. As legend has it, the unfortunate youngster who hid in the sewer is still wandering around down there. by Dr. Sonya Jones English • Maybe it's because Jim Laney, president of Emory University, recently gave a talk here titled "The Education of the Heart." Maybe it's because David Harned, president of Allegheny College, included a sentence in his introduction to Laney's talk, a sentence that continues to function as a prayer. "It _ is a mistake to think disjunctively," Harned said. Maybe it's because Paul Zimmer, director of the Univer- sity of Georgia Press, read an exquisite poem about trees here last week. Since I share Zimmer's sentiments on bark and leaves, I responded with felt life to his lines: I love the accomplishment of trees, how they try to restrain great storms and pacify the very worms that eat them. Even their deaths seem to be considered. .Maybe it's because Lindsay Satterfield has been working on a feature story about things spiritual, and I find her work both engaging and disturbing. "Is God dead at Allegheny?" isn't the easiest question a student has tried to answer. Or maybe, just maybe, my I remember my father digging out the snow tires for our station wagon from the depths of the garage. One particular tire-changing ceremony led to the discovery of the family cat which had been missing for six weeks. When my father went for the garden shovel, I knew that Candy was probably a lot less frisky than she had been. I remember getting the J.C. Penny Christmas catalog right around Halloween. My brothers and I would sit for hours and make up our Christmas lists, ecstatic at the first sign of the holiday season. The catalog usually disappeared by the first week of November (parental censorship, no doubt) and I never did get the 2200-piece- giant-electric tinker-toy set from Santa. I remember my father teaching me how to ride my first two wheeler on the street outside our house. Two weeks later, my friends and I set up a students in American Confes- sional poetry have prompted this meditation on gratitude. Their compassionate, non- judgemental response to a group of poets who lead troubled lives say much about the education of their hearts. photo by Braham It's funny, and there's no maybe to it, how, we. ,human beings sometimes want to reduce our complex feelings to 'simple- minded and most likely erroneous, cause-effect relation- ships. The poet e.e. cummings said it better than I ever could. We often want to smash the "why" into "because." I'm just as guilty as the next academic of swinging an intel- lectual hatchet at mystery. This is, after all, the age of science. But that assertion is too easy. While science may be partially ramp consisting of a piece of plywood situated on four bricks. Evel Knievel would have been proud of the way we hurdled over three kindergarteners and a cat that afternoon. I didn't see my bike very often after that. Dad said it needed "a rest . .." I remember my first grade teacher, Sister Anthony (if nuns could ever become line-backers, she'd have been a first draft choice) who told us when we could use the boy's room and for how long. Sister Anthony had no qualms about walking on in on seventeen six year olds and making sure we went about everything in a Christian man- ner. It's no small wonder that so many kids wet their pants. So what's my favorite sea- son? Fall, of course. It builds character. . So I'll go home for winter break, and my father will build the fires, and I'll rake the leaves, and maybe, just maybe, he'll let me ride my two-wheeler again. responsible for the death of God, science is currently burning the midnight oil in search of a oneness or wholeness at work in the universe. Whether we make a scientific study or a poetic study of gratitude,we find a common denominator. It helps us to sustain what fictionist Grace Paley calls "an interest in life." Let's look for a minute at a simple example, and then I'll be quit of this musing. Consider the difference between: "I get to go to a poetry reading tonight. My teacher says this guy is funny and filled with music." "My teacher is making M e go to a poetry reading tonight. I hate poetry. It's sappy." Precisely. It has been ob- served that sap is the life-blood of trees. Maybe, it's because The Cam- pus, tinder the capable guidance of David Lowrie and Chris Shipley, has expanded its hori- zons to take some tough-minded looks at our troubled world. "Because" it is our world, we share the responsibility for asking "how" to make it better. Or maybe it's just because Thanksgiving is near, and I have an ongoing affection for cran- berries. At any rate, dear Allegheny, I'm gratefully yours. THE CAMPUS Of Allegheny College The student-operated newspaper of Allegheny College since 1876.

After some contemplation, Joe decides that the facts point to this diverging view as the correct interpretation. He begins to set up his paper to prove it. After jotting down a few lines, Joe changes his mind. His mind realizes the risks involved and "What about my grade," he thinks to himself. Joe then decides to argue the paper following the professors para- digm and rejects his own thoughts. The grading system intimidates Joe into denying his own thinking process and re- placing it with regurgitation. By following his own think- ing on the subject, Joe risked anything from an A to an F on his paper but by regurgitating the hypothesis, the professor will believe that Joe has success- fully understood the course material, has applied it to his paper, and deserves a good Brooks Finals are coming; the lipnryf:. is jammed; papers , ae` busily being typed -- all signs point to a healthy learning situation. But I ask, what real learning is going on? The learning process is a critical view of material leading to a hypothesis or conclusion through inductive or 'deductive reasoning. This rarely takes place at Allegheny College. In- stead, a mass of facts and professor initiated hypotheses are regurgitated in order to get a good grade. The grading system is the major stumbling block to creative thinking and real learn- ing. Let me illustrate my point.

The odds are against original and critical thinking and, therefore, learning. When this example is multi- plied by three courses per term and 4 years, Joe will be socia- lized into thinking that conform- ing to what others believe is the best policy for success. Al- though Joe may have picked up a few skills such as writing clearly or using a computer, he has learned nothing. The saddest part is that students are An Open Letter to the Alle- gheny Community: Word is spreading about the Campus Life Task Force and discussion of changes to Hender- son Campus Center. The pur- pose of this letter is to apprise the campus of the nature of that group and those suggestions, and to solicit your feedback--especi- ally your ideas. First: the Task Force was called together during Fall Term "...to review policies affecting out-of-class life on campus and recommend ways to improve, them; and to evaluate current uses of our social and recreation- al resources and facilities and recommend ways to improve them." Thus far, eight faculty, two students and eight ad- ministrators are regular partici- pants. Greater student partici- pation is an obvious need. Second: Early in Fall Term, Provost Andrew Ford asked the Task Force to address a specific issue: to determine what could be done to turn Henderson Campus Center into a real campus center--a facility which would comfortably, informally and routinely draw students, faculty and staff into spon- taneous, as well as planned, interaction. The Task Force responded by seeking funding to bring to campus a consultant recognized nationally for expertise in this field, someone who could look at our situation with fresh eyes. Dr. Bill Brattain was on campus for that purpose last week, and his report is expected momen- tarily. Here are some of the major ideas we have kicked around: 1. A campus center should combine those things which really draw the community together. At Allegheny, the post office heads the list. The Bookstore and Grille follow somewhere behind. However intimidated against thinking for themselves. As a freshman, I had an idealistic view about what col- lege meant and what I was going to accomplish in four years. As a senior I feel somewhat disil- lusioned with the learning pro- cess at Allegheny, a feeling that is shared with a number of my classmates. Underclassmen are impressed by the volume of material covered and the rate at which it is covered and therefore managed, .these three should come under one roof. In the process, the Bookstore must be expanded, made far more attractive, be more usefully stocked. 2. While Grille use has increased dramatically in the past three years, it still leaves much to be desired as a magnet facility. A larger, more attractive facility, with better food and greater impetus to stop and converse, is needed. 3. A recurrent campus theme demands a genuinely attractive student hangout, combining food, music, dancing, conver- sation, and the potential for spontaneous programming to occur--but no alcohol: a genuine alternative to the fraternity basement. The Campus Center ought to have one. 4. For the hurried passerby, or the person just wanting a short snack break, a candy/ice cream/hot dog bar in the lobby area. 5. Current student organi- zation office space is poorly designed and needs remodling to allow more groups a place to hang hats. To achieve these things, something else will have to give. But tradeoffs require careful consideration. Current values and opportunities are not to be lost in the rush to provide new ones. Therefore: 6. Attention must be given to acoustical improvement of the building to reduce current dis- ruptiveness between spaces, and to prevent future ones from developing--between the lobby and auditorium, game room and lobby, corridors and music practice facilities, etc. 7. Skylight dining hall would provide space badly needed for other purposes: an expanded Grille, student activity areas, dancing with live bands, what have you. The 250 students think they're "learning a lot." As the years go by one becomes aware of what the professor expects, how to take a test, how to please a professor and the learning is scrapped because it is not rewarded (rather it is dis- couraged). I have no suggestions, but there must be some way to reform the system -- if not, let's all pack our bags and we can save a lot of time and a lot of money. now assigned there can be accommodated at Brooks and South by extended serving hours. To be effective, however, such a move must be accom- panied by major renovation of Brooks, to make it attractive not only to students but to faculty, staff, parents and visitors. Diversification of the food ser- vice program would help. 8. The college needs a classy, quality performance hall for recitals, departmental lectures, experimental drama and the like, capable of seating between 100 and 200. Behind the current post office boxes, once removed, a lovely room for the purpose waits for restoration. 9. The campus could use a meeting room for student organizations of 75 to 100 members. Could part of the current bookstore area serve? 10. Even after reallocating all current space in the Campus Center, more could profitably be used. Is an addition in order, to provide conference space for professional groups, private dining rooms for luncheon meeting and language tables, and a multi-purpose banquet facility capable of housing a spring formal, an Alden Scholar ban- quet, and alumni or faculty retirement dinner, a dance marathon? 11. Finally, to be truly useful, such a facility really ought to have an elevator. Third: what are your ideas? The Task Force wants to hear them. Drop us a line at P.O. 19. Or better, if you would like to join us, send us your name and P.O. number. After we conclude our deliberations on the Campus Center, we have already waiting an agenda of eleven other heavy items. But I'll save those for another letter. Don Covill Skinner Dean of Students By the time I was seated and ready to eat the meal I had waited so long for, I was so irritated I could barely enjoy what I was eating. What a shame. Obviously the intentions of the food service were worthy. I am truly annoyed at the number of complaints that surround matters concerning dining con- ditions, such as the food service, the facilities, and the manage- ment. Contrary to past letters, this is one complaint that is not directed at Custom Food Service for the food they serve. (As a matter of fact, I feel compelled to note that the quality of the From Page 6 food served was exceptional). Rather, I am inclined to suspect poor design on the part of the management of Brooks Dining Hall, or whomever the coordinators of these meals may be. There has never been a response issued by the manage- ment, in retribution of the many complaints that are yielded at their service. I would be interested as to what kind of reaction this letter has prompted. I can only hope that you will take advantage of the opportunity to reply. Audrey Otto Letters U) the.

CAMPUS Wednesday, November 16.1983 Page 9 THE CAMPUS of Allegheny College Ensemble, Symphony Shine In Performance ARTS] entertainment Jazz Band Swings In Flawless Concert by Matt Peterson Staff Writer Under the direction of Lowell E. Hepler, the Allegheny Wind Symphony and newly formed Wind Ensemble per- formed before a sparse but pleased audience last Sunday evening. The vibrant Festival Prelude by Alfred Reed started the evening off with a flourish. This regal piece was well performed and a fine selection to begin with. Colonial Song by Percy Grainger followed with a fine, slow, melodic opening accomp- lished with horns. Kris Jensen and Tim Downing displayed obvious talent in solo selections on the coronet and alto sax, respectively. Assistant conductor Bernard Pitkin stepped on to the podium next to conduct Symphonic Concert March by Bonelli and Falcone. Pitkin's direction and interpretation of this work was excellent. The selection of this piece amidst all the contem- porary works performed that evening was a welcomed, yet all-too-brief departure from the rest of the program. Hepler assumed the podium once again to conduct Rocky Point Holiday by Ron Nelson. This piece had great potential. Beautiful florishes of sound from various sections of the ensemble and the introduction of a harp played by Ms. Dagmar DeKruif, music faculty, might have accomplished a great per- formance. Unfortunately, the inaudibility of the harp due to an exceptionally loud percussion section hampered such a per- formance. After intermission the select Wind Ensemble performed Joyance by Claude Smith. The piece was performed quite well featuring flute, clarinet and bassoon sections. The creation of this group as the latest in the music department's performance ensembles is a fine example of Hepler's initiative. It also shows how far the band program has come and potentially how far it could go. I applaud the move. It will ultimately strengthen the band program at Allegheny. Grace Praeludium followed the Wind Ensemble's selection. This piece by Francis McBeth, involving the entire Wind Sym- phony, was played and con- ducted beautifully. It was an interesting diversion from the rest of the evenings faster "oom-pah" music. The Dragons of Villars by L. Aime Millart began next with a haunting opening which grew into a more majestic sound. The continued on page 12 Floyd Williams: by Gemma Guglielmo I thump up the stairs, and meander down the dimly lit hall towards the corner office, A student or two may be waiting outside the door, but I push right in, as befits my privileged status as Floyd Williams' work- study student. Floyd is there, hunched behind his desk of the close, windowless room. Some- times he is seated at the piano, running his corded old hands over the yellowed keys. I often find him irascibly growling at a cowed drummer or patiently assisting a music student. I often wonder about Floyd as I sort through piles of his albums, copy endless articles, erase and re-record tapes. There is more to him than what I see; I hear tantilizing bits of information: he played with Duke Ellington, he has lived with an African tribe...Delving more deeply into his story I find a sensitive and talented boy, a disciplined, ardent jazzman, an adventurer, an artist, always deeply involved in the bustle and rhythm of his music. A cultured, sophisticated musician is Floyd, no mere back country college professor. The tempo of his life has mellowed, but its vitality and spirit remain. Floyd was born in 1932 into the roll of Trenton Street, the "main drag" of all the black neighborhoods in Boston. The scratch of victrolas, tinkle of piano rolls and blare of marching bands parading by were all part of his upbringing. Music was always a vital force in that fifth floor tenament. Duke Ellington and his band were on visiting terms with Floyd's uncle, and Floyd Williams conducted Allegheny Jazz Lab's finest show Thursday. Williams' life has followed some of Jazz' greatest. they dropped by whenever they were playing in Boston. Johnny Hodges, the lead alto sax player in the Duke's band, was the boy's godfather. One of Floyd's earliest mem- ories was a party his aunt threw where Pat Torey, a famous ragtime pianist provided the entertainment. One of Pat's trade tricks was his ability to keep right on playing, even when the piano bench was pulled out from under him. Imagine a small child, madly pumping the player piano with one foot while reaching up to feel the plinking keys--a sensitive boy, moved to tears by one particular piano roll, which his mother and uncle would play just so visitors could see him cry.... by Dave Lowrie Managing Editor From the opening explosion of "Every Day I Have the Blues" to the last line of Chick Corea's "Spain," the Allegheny Jazz Lab surprised Thursday's audience with a flawless concert. How can that be after two years (that I've reviewed) of mediocre, lackluster perfor- A talented boy, who felt "pushed musically," became proficient on piano, then fetched home a drum from school and formed a duo with his trumpet-playing cousin. They began to play "gigs" at local churches--eventually they formed a small band and would "jam" playing the one piece they knew with professional relish and style. As time passed, the talented boy grew into an accomplished drummer, and at age 17 went on the road. He considers his 18 month tour with Duke Ellington's band a crowning experience: "to sit with those people...to have been called... just to be on the list was some- thing for us." Floyd soon proved his worth in a battle_of continued on page 12 mantes? Perhaps a combination of new musicians and old, new music, or just new energy. But whatever hit the group made it a whole new monster of a band. Flawless really is the best description of the show. The outstanding example was Corea's "Spain," the final piece. It is a chart full of off-tempo lines and highly syncopated rhythms. Every time the band stabbed at these, the results were perfect to the note. There is a tightness never before heard from the band. Director Floyd Williams portrayed a more heart-felt sense of his band than in past gigs. When the group played Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child," Williams spoke some of the lyrics to give the full effect of the song: "Mama may have, and Papa may have, But God bless the child who has his own." And after the get-down version of "Wide Mouth Frog," a jazz rock tune, Williams yelled, "That was some FUNK!" and spelled it out,"P-H-U-N-Q-U-E!" Williams showed off some of his new players in "Irlandaise," a French-composed jazz suite. Featured were his new flute player, Kim Pawlak, and one of Williams' jazz students on piano, Diane Studnicky.

Paul Zimmer, a poet who crafts his work from personal and everyday experiences, showed off his new volume of poetry Thursday at Allegheny College's Doane Hall. In "Family Reunion," Zimmer parades the emotions of his favorite persona, a poetic alter ego he fittingly labels "Zimmer." Zimmer the poet also uses other personae to narrate his poetry. "Wanda" is Zimmer's perspective of woman, "an 'everywoman' figure told by a man," and "Rollo" is a charac- ter that thinks "I can bring down the rain." When poetry is read aloud, and by a poet who enjoys to read aloud, all the audience has to do is sit entranced by the sounds of a poet who knows his own voice. The echoing atmos- phere of Doane Hall art gallery was uncomfortable as the audi- ence squirmed in the hard wooden banquet chairs. But Zimmer, a poet who knows his own voice, saved the day. "I'm a loud reader," said Zimmer as he wandered away from the reverberating microphone and into the crowd. From amidst the crowd Zimmer read the poems of his childhood, "Zimmer in Grade School" and "Zimmer the Drug- store Cowboy." Both of these poems could be about the childhood of any young boy. "When I hide behind elabor- ate masks, It is always known that I am Zimmer, The one who does the messy papers And fractures his crayons," wrote Zimmer in "...Grade School..." Did you ever wonder what it's like to be beautiful? Zimmer ponders this very question in "Wanda Being Beautiful." Zimmer decides "To be beauti- ful is to somehow keep A dozen fires burning at night . . That desire is somehow greatest from a distance . . . but mostly it is knowing how to choose dry wood, How to bank your fires against cold." To those of us who like to imbibe, Zimmer admonishes, "Oh lads ere your flesh decay And your sight grows dimmer, Beware the ale foam in your way Or you will end like Zimmer." It was once thought that poetry should be comprised of "high and lofty language" but with Zimmer poetry is as lan- guage is spoken. When Zimmer reads, the audience understands, even if the chairs are uncomfor- table. Dance Master Classes Offered Next Term Barry Von Cura, artistic director of Ballet Midwest, will conduct master classes Friday afternoons during second term. The residency, sponsored by Orchesis, begins January 6, 1984, lasting eight weeks. In addition, Von Cura has choreographed a piece "Tribute" to be performed in the third term Orchesis presentation. Rehearsals for the piece run from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m. Friday evenings (following the classes). "Tribute" is a tribute to Hester Horton through a medly of Beatles songs. It will be performed in appreciation for the donation of Horton's entire record collection to Orchesis. Registration for classes is in care of Jan Hyatt, Box 182. Performers will be chosen during rehearsal by Von Cura. 44!;:iv. Paul Zimmer brought his cast of characters to Allegheny when he read last Wednesday. Alle- gheny art galleries rung with Zimmer's interpretation of his fine work. Dido and Aeneas Cast Announced Kelly O'Rourke Assist. Arts Editor The cast for next term's production of Dido and Aeaneas has been chosen. In the primary roles as Dido and Aeneas will be Shawn Johnson and Bruce Rockwell, re- spectively. Other characters include Belinda (Jodi Davis), the Sor- ceress (Kim Pawlak), the first and second witches (Kristine Subasic and Debbie O'Brien, respectively), the sailor (James L. Dick, Jr.), the second woman (Pam Moss), and the Spirit ( L ars-Peter Anderson). The principal dancers include Lars- Peter Anderson, Karin Salyards Sandy Muskopf and Guy Stone. There is also a strong 30-member cast. Dido and Aeneas will be a joint presentation of the Music Department and the Playshop Theatre. Written by Henry Purcell in the 17th century, the English opera combines dancing, singing and acting to re-create the drama of the beautiful Dido and Aeneas, a heroic Trojan warrior.

There are some things that evolution can't explain. English author Rudyard Kipling created "The Just So Stories" to explain to children and adults alike the basis for certain pheno- mena in nature. Allegheny's Playshop Child- ren's Theater presented Ernest J. Schwarz's stage adaption of Kipling's "Just So Stories" through Saturday in the Play- shop Theater. Tales of "How the Rhino- cerous Got Her Wrinkled Skin," "The Elephant's Child," and "The Cat That Walked By Herself," were acted out amid multi-colored scenery. The stage festooned with striped poles and streamers illuminated the en- actment of these colorful tales. Actors Mary Gilson, Everett Nelson, Michael French, Gerald Greland, Allison White, and Lisa Viener assumed multi-roles in presenting five of Kipling's tales. Versatility, and the ability to project Kipling's sing-song style are the keys in making these tales come to life. Each tale is a study in the rudiments of acting, calling for expertise in the use of mime, and expertise in convin- cing the audience that the actor is portraying a different charac- ter or animal in each tale. Gilson's portrayal of the cat in "The Cat That Walked By Herself" is very convincing as she tries to outwit the tamer of wild things - the woman (portrayed by White). It's hard to believe that a college student could play an infant, but Nelson's crying and bawling in "Cat" delighted the audience. The troupe was at its best when they were able to act out the tales, but the collective reading of "The Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo" was at best, irritating. In this tale a different character would sign the story, by Clare O'Brien Staff Writer Allegheny Playshop's produc- tion of "Just So Stories," written by Rudyard Kipling, had all the right ingredients to make a good show. The acting was great, the scenery and props were simple, and the stories were basically enjoyable. Even with all the right ingredients, how- ever, it seemed a poor choice for children's theatre. The cast was impressive. Their skills and confidence were evident throughout the entire performance. Also, their animal imitations made the stori3s more understandable and believable. They were always on cue and gave clear deliveries of every line. The set, which consisted of several different sized boxes, was basic. This simplicity focused all of the audiences' attention on the actions of the actors. but the mix of the five voices overpowered the small audience making it difficult to keep up with the story line. In "How the Camel Got His Hump" Greland comically por- trays a vain and lazy camel, but the genie (Viener) finally catches on to the camel's shenanigans by giving him a hump for not working the first three days of "when all the work began." The costumes were the most elaborate props of all. They were brightly colored and clown- like, which appealed to the children. The plots were imaginative and could have been amusing, but the stories lost their appeal, because of a sometimes mono- tonous and confusing dialogue. If Kipling had excluded some of the more difficult vocabulary, the show might have been a success. It seemed that the play was written for a more mature and sophisticated audience, rather than children. The external ingredients were right, but the show just didn't "make it." . ...And Low Marks Allegheny's Director of Choirs Ward Jamison extends his hor izons past Arnold Hall, This past week he conducted an area dist- rict high school choral festival.

Being a nervous rookie, he wanted to watch and evaluate Kelton's band, all of the musicians he knew and admired. Older and wiser members of Ellington's troupe steered Floyd across the street, where they Al kept him preoccutie with „a bananna split ►4nt to go on. Once he hit the stage, Floyd performed quite well. That he played with the Duke's band is testimony enough to Floyd's talent. As he says: "it helped me to realize that I could perform-because one thing about that band--if you can't play, you don't stay!" The Duke himself left a great im- pression on Floyd. He remem- bers: "They didn't announce numbers of pieces...Duke sits at the piano and might play a chord or maybe a little riff or run--and all of a sudden the band explodes!" Floyd bopped around on the road 17 years in all, doing stints with Lionel Hampton, Jaki Byard, and Herbie Mann, to name a few. While touring with Lionel Hampton in Africa, Floyd stayed behind, met up with some students from the University of Ghana and ended up living with the Buthana tribe for four months, observing and participating in their music, rituals,and culture, Another Hampton tour led to a similar, year-long interlude in Japan. Eventually, Floyd felt him- self being strongly drawn to clinic-type situations, where he would answer questions and explain the performance, or certain techniques. The siren song of the road began to pale, while other concerns grew, so Floyd set up camp in New York City, anti became inducted into the recording industry. Yet even the allure of New York. wore thin after a while; while providing steady work, it left Floyd no room for self- expression. A certain woman convinced him that he was wasting his time, arranging other peoples' music instead of writing his own. Floyd was so im- pressed by this woman that he married her and changed his lifestyle completely. After selling out, the Williams' took off, trying to find "what they were into." Even- tually they settled in the small Mexican town of Tasco to try and establish a multi-cultural arts center. An entrepreneur from New York, who was sponsoring this project, sug- gested they move it Into the U.S. Although there was land avail- able here, there were also things like zoning laws, which impeded the goals of their plan and caused it to fall apart. An undeterred Floyd bounced right back, and set himself to a new tempo. He took the position of choir director in a city in Pennsyl- vania, and also took on a few students. One of his students came to Allegheny for an audition, and Floyd himself became interested and eventually took the job of Director of Jazz Studies here, I wondered how he could be happy here after the excitement and variety of former times, but Floyd is content: "I feel needed...it's very important to be someplace you feel needed. The jazz climate here is very small, yet those people that I do find that are interested are reallyinterested." Oh, Floyd admits to missing the road every now and then-- the travelling, the jam sessions, the concerts.„but he finds what he does now to be all the richer for having had these experiences. The songs of the past fade away; the beat slows, and there is Floyd again, nodding over his sheets of music, giving me evil looks because I'm late for work again. All those things I'm familiar with. Floyd, still keeping to the jazz beat he knows so well, brings the music alive and makes it sing. Symphony piece featured several sections and the flute-oboe interplay toward the end of the piece was particularly attractive. Edwin Franko Goldman's The Chimes of Liberty March was performed next. While the work was played well, it was nonetheless another contem- porary piece which added little to the program's already limited diversity. The work featured several talented flutists and a piccolo. Though his playing was at first a bit tight, Allen loosened right up and kicked the band in the tail on "Frog." Mich Marracini played a fine concert in her first showing with the band. Joined by Roth, the new rhythm section put the swing back in the group. The playing of the other sections was the strongest point of the band before, and is even tighter now. Rich Meddleton on sax and Kris Jensen on trumpet continue to stand out, Finally they have a band on their own level. How did they come so far? Through the talent of the rookies, the determination of the veterans, the soul of the rhythm section, and a new energy. I suppose those are the answers to my original question.

Saturday the Allegheny women's cross country team met its greatest challenge of the year at the Mideast Regional Champion. ship meet in Annville, PA. They walked away from the meet champions, thus qualifying them for the National meet in New- port VA. In what turned out to be a two team race, the Lady Gators defeated Franklin and Marshall by four points (62.66) to take the Mideast Regional crown. In accomplishing this feat, the Gators needed a total team effort and that is exactly what they got from each of their five scoring girls. Freshman Sue Russell led the way for Allegheny with a fourth place finish in the race. For Sue this was by far her finest race of what has proven to be quite a successful season. The Gators second runner, freshman Sue Meyers who has been performing brilliantly all year for Allegheny, turned in another super performance as she finished seventh in the race. Consistency is the mark of a fine cross country runner and both senior captain Joan Foulk- rod and senior Julie Meyer have proven that they can consistent- ly rise to the occasion of a big meet all season long for Al- legheny. On Saturday, running as the Gators third and fourth women, Joan and Julie finished ninth and 16th respectively. The best race of the day, however, had to be given to Regina McKenna. Running as the Gator's fifth woman, Mc- Kenna turned in by far her best performance of the season to grab 27th place overall in the race and assure Allegheny of the title. Also running well and finishing 55 and 59 for the Gators were Lynn Bradley and Patti Peifer. Coach Bergamasco, com- menting on the race Saturday, said he felt the women "put in a fine team effort." When asked about the upcoming national meet Bergamasco said he hoped to attain two goals. "First, I would like to have as many All-Americans as possible walk away from the meet. (In achiev- ing All-American status a runner must finish in the top 25 in the race.) Second, I would like the team to finish among the top eight in the country." Bergamasco added, "Nation- als is the one meet when a cross country runner wears two hats. First, the runner is a member of a team and second the runner is an individual running for All- American honors." No doubt the women's cross country team will represent Allegheny well both as individuals and as a team. by Jack Donner Courtesy of the Meadville Tribune. Allegheny came from behind Saturday to defeat the Univer- sity of Rochester Yellow Jackets 21.7 in non-conference football action at Robertson Field. "It's a poignant time when kids play for the last time," commented Gator head coach Sam Timer. "We've had so much adversity this season, I just scoring march, an 11 play, 47 yard drive. This time it was the Bee's making the penalty errors. A pass interference call and an unsportsmanlike conduct pen- alty turned a Chris Brodman incomplete pass into a 28 yard gain. Brodman's 1-yard plunge and Baird's extra point tied the game, 7-7, early in the third quarter. Allegheny's Dave Hood stepped in front of an errant Jeff Wittig pass to set-up the Gator's another misguided Wittig pass set up the third Gator scoring drive on the Bee's 10-yard line. Taylor dragged three defenders over from the 3-yard line, to remove the stinger from the Yellow Jackets attack. The Gators finish a respect- able 4-5 overall and 2.5 In the President's Athletic Conference. Rochester completed its cam- paign with a 4-5 mark. Before being injured, Don Trace aided the Gators in obtaining well deserved victory against Rochester. wish we had been more success- ful." When the wind-swept, snowy field was cleared, Allegheny's defensive players would be heroes for the day. After allowing fullback Sam Guerreri a 24-yard touchdown romp late in the second quarter, the Gator defense tightened late in the second half as John Null re- covered the big fullback's fumble at the 2-yard line. The second half was all Allegheny, as the "D" made play after big play to set up the Gator scoring drives. Defensive tackle Bob Fraser a recovered another Guerreri fum- ble to set up Allegheny's first second scoring drive. Hood's 23-yard return set the Gator's up at the 48-yard line for their second posession of the second half. The running of freshman Eddie "ET" Taylor and junior Marc Zampell accounted for all the yardage in the 52-yard scoring drive. Zampell's leap from the half foot line put the Gator's ahead 14-7 in the third quarter. Taylor--15 rushes for 91 yards--and Zampell--15 rushes for 70 yards--Allegheny's leading ground gainers, had to compete with the yardage gained by the defensive backfield.

Think of it. Our team went from 3-0 to 3-5. Our first loss was covered by ABC television, and we got crushed. We should have been able to bounce right back, as we played a mediocre team the following week. Instead we played sluggishly, just good enough to lose. We were never really in the game in our third straight loss, as we fell to nationally ranked Case. But our last two losses were different; we gave it our best shot against W&J, and we fought like hell in our loss to Hiram. In my last column I spoke of the rediscovered intensity and tenacity that we showed in our last two losses: It was evident this week at practice. We looked good. We were not practicing like a 3-5 team. The pattern just did not fit. How many teams improve when they fall from 3-3 to 3-5? Well, we did, and our win on Saturday was deserving. We wanted.to win when the only reward would be self-respect. No chance left for a winning season. No chance left to better our league record.- Just a chance to end our season on a, winning note,_ thereby making all the pride and character - busihessi more believable. We were down 7-0 at the half. But a key play in the game occurred when they fumbled, and we recovered, on our one yard line, with just seconds remaining in the second quarter. It was easier to come back mentally after this big play. After we scored our first touchdown, the game was ours, the breaking point being David Hood's third quarter interception and nifty return. Paul Richards, a freshman seeing his first varsity action, put the icing on the cake when he replaced an injured Johnny Null. Paul picked off a pass in the fourth quarter and raced quite a ways down the sideline to give us a first and goal situation, thereby setting up our final score. I expect that most coaches are satisfied if it only takes two of their best players to block Bob Fraser. Sorry to let you down guys. Nothing personal, but Fras just does not like missing the fun. He was great Saturday, and he was complemented by Mike Zampogna and John Platko. It is true that U of R was running through us for a while, but these three guys exemplified our will to win: Bob has not been 100 percent all season, John had to adjust to a new position in his final season, and at 190 pounds Chippy is not exactly a Mean Joe Greene in size. More importantly though, all are full of un- selfishness. Speaking of being unselfish, offensive linemen have no choice in this category. Their work goes without warrant more frequently than anyone elses. And I think that our "hogs" are more criticized because of their size (averaging about 245 pounds each, they are the biggest around). The bookends, tackles Kevin Palermo and George Gabriel, ended their four years with their best performances. If you cannot get around them, forget it, because knocking them over requires a running start. Offensive guards are historically smaller and quicker than tackles. Fitting the mold, Tom Pierro is the quickest of our big, front five. But Tiller? Put it this way, have you ever been trap-blocked by a freight train at top speed? Tom is a trim 260 pounds, and he knocks players down when they are expecting him. Getting caught blind- side on a trap by Tom makes defensive linemen think more seriously of taking up golf. Mike Grant and Vic Kinnunen will return as guards for next year. About the only thing that is harder than getting past these guys is feeding them. Ron Olson saw , much action this year at center, mostly while Scott Flinn was reassembling his knees. Scott is graduating with Kevin, George, and Tom. I hope next year's line performs as well as the example these seniors have set. Marc Zam- pell and Eddie Taylor used our "front wall" to their advantage last week, and all season. It's a joy to watch this tandem operate. They have done an excellent job for us, and both will be back in 1984. If you have followed Allegheny football since the mid-Seventies, you might recognize a parallel to the Matlak-Solomosi tandem. If you have not, take it from me that this is a complimentary comparison. "Allegheny Airways" will not be the same without receivers Ron L4mendola and Nate Paskey. These two made so many big plays that it became common to see a number 20 or . 18 flying high in the air or diving in the mud, with outstretched arms, and somehow always coming up with the reception. Two other youngsters will hold the attack together. Marcus Elkins has the softest pair of hands that I have ever seen on a tight end. He and Mark Bonessi are the kind of athletes that makes coaching easy. Defending the pass has not been one of our strong points in the last couple of years. This year it was. Marc Calderone and Dave Hood are three-year starters that helped make this change. As for our cornerbacks, A.J. Valerie has my vote for our most improved player. I have already said much concerning Johnny Null in past columns, and he has continually improved as well. As long as improvement is on the agenda, John Griffin deserves a pat on the back too. These defensive backs are all returning, and I am predic- ting that they, along with Fraser, will hold next year's defense together. When I think of a college quarterback, I usually picture a strong, quick, option-oriented player who can both run and pass fairly well. Don Trace fits this description to a tee. But as good as he is, he will have to wait his turn one more year. The reason for this is that a guy who is not so quick, or strong, or option-oriented, but is simply the best quarterback in what has developed into a powerhouse of a conference, is on the same team. Due to injuries, Chris Brodman has not had much of a chance to show off his talents, which he carries in two seperate containers. One container is wide open and easily seen. The other is seen only by the team and the coaches. I am referring to his arm, which releases 60 yard bombs as well as short hooks right on the money, and to his head. In his head, he carries his poise, confidence, and leadership qualities that have in turn carried our team. He will make the big difference for the Gators next year. It has been a good year. I hate to think that it is over. But at the same time, I know that the fondest memories are of those things that we want to last and last. Playing on a team of such character has made this year especially worth remembering. &mac jur 711.111111 s/ Saucony 41 Area's Largest Selection of Athletic Footwear • Monday-Saturday itt 322 Meadville Mall YOU'LL FIND THEM ALL IN ONE PLACE.

Page 14 Wednesday, November 16, 1983 CAMPUS Women's B-Ball Shoots For Title by Scott Smith (S10) The Allegheny College women's basketball team has proven itself over the past two seasons to be a strong contender for the Women's Keystone Con- ference title, and even a candi- date for NCAA Division III regional competition, certainly a worthy achievement for a rela- tively young program. This year, however, the Gators want more. Capturing the WKC title, for instance, and landing a bid to the NCAA post-season tournament are among the primary goals of head coach Kay Gould's ambitious young squad, comprised of two juniors and the remainder fresh- men and sophomores. Gould, entering her fourth year at the helm, has guided her team to two consecutive winning seasons, and last season saw the returns of some fine recruiting pay off in a 17-4 overall record and a second place finish in the WKC behind regional power Grove City. Leading Gould's charges this season is a pair of talented juniors, Brenda Bates and Jill Swanson, who will also serve as the team's co-captains this season. Bates, a 5-7 guard from Troy, Pa., has been the team's leading scorer for the past two seasons, and garnered All-WKC First Team honors last year as well as the team's Most Valuable Player award. Bates scored at a 14.3 ppg clip last season, and also led the team in steals with 36. In addition to her court prowess, Bates is an All-WKC First Team third baseman on the Gator softball team, and last season was an All-Regional selection and All-Tournament player in the NCAA Division III national championships. Swanson, a 5-6 point guard from Sinclairville, NY, is the Allegheny season assist record holder, setting the mark last year with 127. Swanson is con- sidered the squad's top defensive player, as evidenced by her 20 steals, and she scored 5.6 ppg last season in addition to being named to the All-WKC Second Team. Swanson also served as one of the team's tri-captains last season, and is an All-WKC First Team performer at short- stop for the Gator softball team. In addition to Bates and Swanson, the remaining five returning letter winners from a year ago are all sophomores, and represent the Gators' inside attack. These include last year's top two rebounders, Heidi Wiederkehr and Kim Ignace. continued on page 15 Photo by Weh Lady Gators put in a fine performance in their swim meet against Division II team Clarion.

To Be Funded By ASG by Sara Rectenwald Sports Editor Lady Spikers Finish A Tough Season With the help of ASG, the men's volleyball team took some giant steps forward in improving their program this year, Accord- ing to junior Wayne Ringeisen, "ASG provided us with a budget to get a coach, uniforms and transportation to away matches." Taking over the coaching duties for the spikers is John Bruno, a teacher at Meadville Junior High School. Bruno is a graduate of California University in California, Pennsylvania. While there, he was an all-con- ference volleyball player for four years. He also ran their volley- ball program after he graduated. Ringeisen was very positive about the new coach. "He will . contribute much to the volley- ball program here." Ringeisen also breathed a sigh of relief that a new coach was found. Last year he had to be both player and coach. "I found myself sometimes really into the coaching and my playing would suffer. At other times, it was just the opposite." Allegheny is a member of the Western Pennsylvania Inter- collegiate Volleyball Associa- tion. This has three divisions. These include the north, in which we are members, the south, and varsity. Being in the varsity division enables a school to participate in the NCAA championships. It doesn't matter if a school in this cate- gory is Division I, II, or III. They all play each other. The varsity teams our team competes against are Pitt, who was nationally ranked last year, Edinboro, Grove City, and Robert Morris. Non-varsity teams include Clarion, Slippery Rock, and Penn State Behrend. The Gators ended last year with a record of 4-6. This year all of the starters from last year's team are back. These include Ringeisen, Luke Pavlovich, Dave O'Donnell, Chip Zampogna, Ciaran Hanna, and Rob Radel. Allegheny will be up against some tough competition this year. The league opener will be a tournament at IUP. The team also hopes to go to a tournament in Fairfax, Virginia at George Mason University. George Mason is also a nationally ranked team. "If everyone plays who says they'll play, we will definitely do well," stated Ringeisen. Try-outs for the team will be held January 3, 4, and 5. The season runs from February to April. Any new interested players are urged to come and try out. by Joan Foulkrod Sports Writer The Allegheny men's cross country team ended their season on a disappointing note. After running exceptionally well all season and placing 2nd in the PAC, the men fell short of their goal of qualifying for the National meet, by placing 8th at the Mideast Regional Cross Country Championships, held this past weekend in Lebanon Valley. Among the field of 170 runners, the men packed the Gator squad well. Running first and second for the men were team co-captains Mark Dowdall (36th), and Ken Gray(47th). Senior John Nelson ran third for Women's BB ? Wiederkehr, a 6-1 forward- center from Ballston Lake, NY, was the team's third leading scorer last season (10.5 ppg), ripped 169 rebounds (8.0 rpg) and was also the team leader in blocked shots with 28. Wieder- kehr is also a varsity letter winner in track. Ignace, a 6-2 center who hails from Grand Blanc, MI, was the leading rebounder with 174 (8.3 rpg), while scoring 7.5 ppg and blocking 12 shots. Joan Smith, a 5-6 forward from Oil City, Pa., was the team's second leading scorer last year, (11.8 ppg) and was also named to the All-Tournament Team at the University of Rochester Invitational. A versa- tile player who can play inside or outside, Smith is also a letter winner of the Gator softball team. The two remaining returning letter winners are Sue Custer and Becky Krakowski. Custer, a 5-9 leaper out of Lincoln Park, NJ, scored 2.7 ppg last season, and is also an All-WKC Second Team performer in softball. Krakow- ski, 5-8, should provide quality the team, (50th), while sopho- more Bob Stackman, (56th), and freshman Chris Keim, (66th), finished the scoring for the Gators. Also running well for the men was freshman Paul Egbert, (78th). As a team, the men ran one of their better races, showing only a 40 second split between the first and fifth runners. With only two of their top five runners graduating, Ken Gray and John Nelson, the men look forward to an exceptional season next year. They will be a young team, consisting mainly of sophomores and juniors, but the runners will boast experience as their edge over the competi- tion. depth at point guard, and hails from Corry, Pa., where she is the school's career scoring leader. Gould stresses a total team philosophy that depends just as much on the players on the bench as the ones on the court, and feels such an approach gets the most from her players in a team effort. "People on our team realize that they will get court time," states Gould, "and I'm looking for our upperclassmen to provide leadership and our younger players to push the team to its potential, which is very high." Last season, the Gators just missed a bid to the NCAA Division III tournament. This year's freshmen creden- tials are indeed impressive, and stand as follows; Karen Gubish, a 5-10 guard- forward from Pittsburgh, Pa., was a converse All-American in 1983 while leading her team to a state championship, and also was selected to play in the Colt Classic in 1983. Missy Vogel, a 5-9 guard- forward who is also from Pitts- burgh, was her team's MVP, a by Beth Kissinger Sports Writer The season has finally run its course for the Allegheny women's volleyball team as they finished off the year in two matches which paired them against Geneva College and Robert Morris at home and Villa Maria on the road. The Gators fought it down to the wire with the visitors from Geneva in an exciting match which, unfortunately, found the Gators on the losing end. The scores, 15-9, 9-15, 13-15, 15-7, 13-15, tell the story. Coach Seagraves remarked that the game "...was certainly a tough one to lose. It was one of those matches in which both teams play well--one which can go either way. Unfortunately, we had to lose this one." Seagraves observed that the hitting was much improved, thanks to Gwen Herron's 22 kills along with Leslie Bentson's 13. Setters Amy Smith and Rhoda Smartz provided 21 and 13 assists each to help their cause while Shannon Cody and Herron each contributed seven blocks. The Gators fared better in the Robert Morris match 15-13, 10-15, 15-13, thanks to Herron's 14 kills and Amy Kissinger's seven. Smartz and Smith were hot at the nets again with member of the Colt Classic, and was a Western Pa. Women's Fast Pitch Softball League All-Star and Tourney MVP. Sherrie Weeks, a 5-8 guard out of Mars Hill, Maine, garnered All-State honors, was team MVP, and was a 1,000- point career scorer. Lisa Smith, a 5-5 guard from Neptune, NJ, was named Most Outstanding senior player for New Jersey All-Stars at Rutgers University, and was also a 1,000- point career scorer. Sandie Starr, " .ial'56 , 'guard from Valencia, Pa.; 1 ,':Wat.' Section in 1982 and team MVP 14 assists each while Smartz also collected five serving aces. The Gators hit the road for the last time Thursday to face a tough Villa Maria team-a team which proved too tough for them to handle as they were dropped 10-15, 9-15. 5-15. Amy Kissinger provided 10 kills and Amy Smith 16 assists to the losing cause. Seagraves asserted that while her team's passing was at its height, the hitting just couldn't come. She credited Villa Maria with playing exceptionally well in this final match of the season. Looking over the course of their • season, the Gators find themselves finishing with an 11-18 record. Appearances can be deceiving as Coach Seagraves noted, "One must take into account our schedule this season when considering our record. We've managed to play four teams which rank in the top twenty nationally, several Division II teams, and one NAIA national competitor this season. In our conference, two teams ranked in the top twenty (Grove City and Thiel) and one is now a competitor at the NAIA nationals (Geneva). And that's out of seven teams.

The Waltz will be held in the C.C. lobby with a live string orchestra and refreshments will also be served. All students and faculty are invited and encouraged to at- tend. Great, you're thinking, it sounds like fun, but you don't know how to waltz. Don't let that slow down your winter fun. Waltzing lessons will be offered 1-2 weeks before the dance so that everyone can fully participate. Dress will be semi-formal to formal, so wo- men, bring back your favorite .,own and men, drag that suit out of your closet and bring it back after break. Specific dates and times will be announced the beginning of the term. Till then, have fun, and keep dancing! Stop asking the government for "free" goods and services, however desirable and necessary they may seem to be. They are not free. They are simply extracted from the hide of your neighbors - and can be extracted only by force . If you would not confront your neighbor and demand his money at the point of a gun to solve every new problem that may appear in your life, you should not allow the government to do it for you ... This one insight understood, this one discipline acted upon and taught by millions of Americans to others could do more to further freedom in American life than any other. Congratulations to the wo- men's cross-country team on your unprecedented Regional Championship. Good luck at Nationals. J.V. Mom (alias clutch) and friends, This is No. 77 ... Good luck on finals!
