The CAMPUS Of Allegheny College Volume 112, Number 7 Meadville, PA Published Since 1876 October 20, 1988 Bush Edges Dukakis In Campus Poll position on federal gun control. "I don't know which George Bush I'm looking at," claimed Dukakis concerning the Vice President's stand on Social Security. Dukakis focussed on Bush's vote in '85 to cut Social Security funds. Bush, in turn, accused Dukakis of voting for Federal Social Security cuts at the National Governors' Conference, and of using $29 million from the Massachusetts pension fund in order to attain a balanced state budget. Dukakis denied both claims heatedly with, "You're dead wrong, George." On abortion, both candi- dates referred to personal experi- ences in which their infant chil- dren had died. Bush cited his decision to prolong his dying daughter's life as long as Afterwards, the margin widened to 10%, with Bush gaining support from 52% of those polled, compared to the 42% in favor of Dukakis. The results of other national polls have varied, but most indicate that Bush maintains a significant advantage.

Bush edged Dukakis slightly, receiv- ing support from 43.69% of those polled, compared to the 42.91% who supported Dukakis. The poll's findings differed fairly dramatically with recent national polls. According to the October 15 New York Times, Bush led Dukakis in a CBS News poll 47% to 43% before the debate Thursday. by Michael C. Doupe Staff Writer As the Presidential cam- paigns comes down the home stretch, George Bush appears to be leading Michael Dukakis, by widely varying estimates, in most polls. Last Thursday's Presidential debate displayed an aggressive Vice President while Dukakis worked on destroying his reputation as an "ice man." Citing Dukakis' position on the death penalty, arms control, and the federal role in society, Bush tried to emphasize his portrait of Dukakis as a "liberal" several times during the debate. Dukakis countered the attacks, calling the tactic "labelling," noting at one point that Ronald Reagan called Bush a liberal in 1980 because of his the preferences of men and women, suggesting a possible gender gap in the upcoming election. Among males, 52.86% supported Bush to 36.2% for Dukakis. Dukakis led Bush, however, 49.61% to 34.55% among women who were polled. An even greater difference was found between the student possible as support for his stance that "you don't make an exception based on medical knowledge at the time." But Dukakis noted that Bush was willing to make exceptions in cases of rape and incest. "The real question that we have to answer is not how many exceptions we make," Dukakis claimed, "it's who makes the decision..and I think it has to be the woman." Most popular polls show a close race with less than 3 weeks to go. However, state- by-state electoral college polls show that Bush has a formidable lead. The results from certain swing states are not definite, however, and many analysts still continued on page 4 body and the faculty and administration. Professors sup- ported Dukakis over Bush in the poll 7 to 1. While the students supported Bush by a 6.4% mar- gin, faculty supported Dukakis by a margin of nearly 70%. Administrators polled also heavily favored Dukakis, by a ratio of slightly over 2 to 1. The poll represented the views of 769 members of the Allegheny community, includ- ing 701 students. The number is approximately one-third the total number of students, faculty and administrators constituting the entire college campus. For a more detailed sta- tistical analysis, see the graph on page 3. Mandatory Saturday Classes Ended by Ann Bomberger Managing Editor The faculty voted Thursday to discontinue the requirement for Saturday classes for the 1989-1990 academic year, adopting the McDermot class schedule. Professors will not be re- quired to teach on Saturdays. However, they will still have the option to do so and some students may still have Saturday classes. Tuesday/Thursday classes will run for one hour and fifty minutes each. Seventy minute classes, which do not overlap the 110 minute classes, will also be offered on Tuesday and Thursday, with the third class session running at either 8:00 a.m. or 2:50 p.m. on Monday or Friday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday classes will remain on the same schedule. Associate Dean of the Col- lege Richard McDermot said, "I voted no," on the proposal, even though he wrote it. However, he added that he didn't have any strong feelings against it. He just thought it was not worth the hassle of transition since it will only be in effect until the college switches to semesters in the fall of 1990. "There will be a more workable Saturday-less calendar when we go to semesters," he said. The nature of the three term system makes it more dif- ficult to avoid Saturday classes. The faculty originally voted against Saturday classes at the end of spring term. This second vote specifically adopted the new schedule. McDermot estimated that the vote passed by a 2:1 margin. He said a memo will be sent to all students with the precise times of classes at the beginning of next week.

October 20, 1988 World & National News Update Struggle Breaks Out ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Oct. 18-- a factional power struggle appears to have broken out in Afghanistan's Communist leadership, delaying a meeting of the ruling party and complicating Soviet efforts to re- sume a troop withdrawal, Western diplomats and Afghan rebels here say. Reports of party infighting come at a time of renewed speculation that Afghanistan's President, Najibullah, may be removed. In light of these developments, the sudden replace- ment of Moscow's Ambassador in Kabul last week with a high-ranking official from Moscow, First Deputy Foreign Minister Yuli M. Vorontsov, may be, in the words of one diplomat, a Soviet effort "to insure that the final departure of Soviet troops will not be overshadowed by a descent into chaos in Kabul." Diplomats say Mr. Vorontsov, who arrived in Kabul within two days after his appointment was announced- and before his predecessor, who had been there only six months, had time to leave- may have been given special powers to deal with the political crisis. Technology Stressed WASHINGTON, Oct. 18-- An independent advisory panel has urged the Secretary of Defense to take a more assertive role in setting economic policy to head off "an increasing loss of technological leadership to both our allies and adversaries." This tactic, if adopted, would inject the military into unfamiliar policy arenas and would mark a distinct depar- ture from the military's usual approach to stimulating ad- vances in weapons technology and manufacturing tech- niques. The report was presented to Defense Secretary Frank C. Carlucci 3rd today by a study group of the Defense Science Board, an influential advisory group whose mem- bers were drawn from industry and universities. Woo Wants Peace UNITED NATIONS, Oct. 18-- The President of South Assembly for the first time today, calling for an internatiotal conference to end the division of the Korean peninsula. South Korean diplomats said the call by the Presi- dent, Roh Tae Woo, was intended to be a positive re- sponse to a proposal by Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Soviet leader, last month. Mr. Gorbachev, in a speech in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, called for a reduction of ten- sion on the Korean peninsula and closer economic ties Courtesy New York Times with South Korea, with which the Soviet Union does not have full diplomatic relations. The South Korean President called for a six-nation "consultative conference for peace" to end the armed standoff between North and South Korea, which has kept the peninsula divided along the 38th parallel. That demarcation line, which became the boundary between the two hostile states after their creation following World War II, has persisted since the armistice ending the Korean War was signed in the border village of Panmunjom 35 years ago. Refund Planned WASHINGTON, Oct. 18-- The Department of Health and Human Services will begin a Medicare reim- bursement policy on Nov. 1 that will hurt large metropolitan teaching hospitals that serve the inner-city poor. The policy involves the redistribution of money used to compensate hospitals for patient care that is longer or more expensive than designated under the Medicare re- imbursement rules. The effect of the new policy will be to give less money to hospitals whose patients have un- usually long stays and more money to those whose pa- tients receive unusually costly treatment. The changes will adversely affect large inner-city hospitals that are affiliated with medical schools and that serve the poor because stays at such hospitals are often much longer than average, health officials say. Teaching hospitals take the most medically complex cases and are reluctant to send poor patients back to their impoverished homes, where they fear the patients will be medically ne- glected. U.S. Officials"Lied" FERNALD, Ohio, Oct. 18-- The farming, la- boring, shopkeeping families around here seem just as conservative and just' as patriotic as the small-town stereotype would have it. But the uranium processing plant down the road, and what the Federal Government has told them about its safety, has them sounding like some- thing else entirely. "The Government was lying to us, and they lied and lied," said Doris Clawson, a 59-year-old homemaker whose family has lived for five generations on a 242-acre farm bordering the Fernald plant, which processes material used in America's nuclear weapons. "It's just a terrible thing they've done." Problems with radioactive emissions at the Fernald plant have been public knowledge for several years, but officials always maintained that they were making efforts to clean up the sources of contamination. In court documents tiled last month, however, Energy Department officials acknowledged that the Government had known for decades that "normal operations of the Fer- nald plant would result in emissions of uranium and other substances," but it would not spend money to improve pollution controls. Housing Demanded FANWOOD, N.J., Oct. 18-- A New Jersey housing agency has told this densely developed suburb that it cannot be excused from an obligation to provide low- and moderate-income housing simply because it has no vacant land. In a ruling with implications for many other New Jersey suburbs that contend they lack land for affordable housing, Fanwood was told to plan to build the housing or to allow three developers to proceed with proposals to demolish single-family houses and replace them with apartments. "What is involved is not just one town and a couple of tiny landowners," said Douglas Wolfson, an adjunct professor at the Rutgers Law School, who represented Fanwood before the agency, the Council on Affordable Housing. "Throughout the last three decades, most of the towns in the northern part of the state were built up ex- cept for little parcels. There's not a lot of vacant land left." The deputy director of the council, Arthur Bernard, said: "We recognize the fact that if there is no vacant land, there is not a lot that can be done. But if there is land, we want it done." In Fanwood, he said, developers are willing to make their land available by tearing down houses. The case stems from State Supreme Court rulings that said all 567 municipalities in the state had an obliga- tion to provide housing for residents of all incomes. Re- sponding to a storm of controversy, the Legislature estab- lished the housing council in 1985. Children Abused OREGON CITY, Ore., Oct. 18-- Children at a rural commune billed as an athletic camp for ghetto youngsters were ritualistically beaten, left to go hungry, and forced to watch as an 8-year-old girl was flogged to death, Oregon authorities said today. Officials trying to unravel events of the last few months inside the farmhouse home of the Ecclesia Athletic Association say they have discovered one of the worst cases of systematic child abuse. "It was Lisa Steinberg times 50," said Bart Wilson, a manager of the Oregon Children's Services Division, referring to the New York girl who was allegedly beaten to death last year. The CAMPUS Asks "Who would you like to see as President of the U.S. • • and why?" by Kris Holloway Staff Writer I don't like either candidate. I'm from Germany, so I can't vote. Both parties have many points I don't agree with. The Democrats have a bad foreign policy and the Republicans cut too many social programs. Rainer "Wilt" Sorensen, '92 I'd like to see Dukakis take it. I'd like to see a change. I think a lot of our economic growth is getting stagnant. Many of our social programs must get better. There's a lot of potential that's not being ful- filled. - Mike Green, '89 Certainly not Quayle! Not Bush... not Dukakis. Maybe Lyndon LaRouche. We need the leadership that only he can pro- vide. - Jeff Wuchenich, '89 I'm not comfortable with saying that either candidate is qualified for the position. I think it's more of a question of which one has more experience. Per- sonally, I like Bush- he's more familiar with presidential re- sponsibilities. - Jamie Hollenbeck, '89 Anybody but Bush! I don't think we need anymore years of Reaganomics. He's messed up the economy and he's messed up the environment. - Chris Harrington, '89 I think that George Bush should be president because he's had more experience in the White House. - Heather Ginchereau, '90 If it would be anybody, I'd have to say Bush. In the last de- bate Bush's responses on the presented issues seemed to be more precise and clear than those of Dukakis. - Greg Kozub, '89 I don't like either candidate. But I'd choose Bush because I don't like Dukakis' stands on letting criminals go, and I dis- agree with his stand on the Pledge of Allegiance. - Judy Lazzaretti, '91 Peter Jennings because he sounded better at the debates than either one of the presiden- tial candidates. He focuses on important issues rather than who has a better tie. - Julie Stewart, '90 I'd probably pick a 3rd party because I don't like either of the candidates. They are too one- sided. Dukakis is capable o f running our country, but in for- eign affairs he has no experi- ence. Bush has the experience in foreign affairs but personally I don't like him. - Dan Edwards, '92 Personally, I'm pretty con- servative, so I would be more likely to go for a Republican. I don't trust Democrats. I'm not real gung-ho on George Bush- but I don't see much in Dukakis. Under Reagan our foreign policy has never been better and Bush will hopefully continue this. - Erinn Casale, '92 It's more of a choice of the lesser of 2 evils, but I'd have to say Dukakis/Bentsen simply because there aren't many issues I feel strongly about, but abor- tion and the environment. My personal beliefs agree with their platform more than t h e Republicans. - Candy Peterson, '89 I would say Dukakis be- cause I think he exemplifies leadership abilities and has the qualities required to be a good president. Also, I don't think Quayle would make a good president if Bush went out. - Paul Svetz, '90 George Bush because being from New England I know how bad Dukakis is. I don't think he'd do a good job as president. It's not that I like George Bush, it's just that I dislike Dukakis. - Brendan Penney, '91 I think Bush because he al- ready has connections with world leaders and he held himself in the debates much better. Also because he has the experience of being vice-president, he's more qualified to be president. - Jeff Ignozzi, '92 Bush because he's better qualified for the job. Looking at the background of each candi- date, Dukakis really messed up Massachusetts. Julie Holden, '91 I would definitely go for Bush because Dukakis' foreign policy is weak. Dukakis does want to make things better for our country, but I'd vote for Bush. - Glenn Diamond, '92 90 80 70 60 52.86% 50 40 30 20 10 KEY BUSH DUKAKIS UNDECIDED 36.20% 34.55% 10..94% 81.4% 46.22% 39.80% 13.98% 11.63% 7 A 49.61% 64.0% 28.0% 6 98% 8.0% MEN (384) WOMEN STUDENTS FACULTY (385) ?

The Trustees came to cam- pus last weekend to meet with students, faculty, and administrators. As ASG repre- sentatives, Maloy, Michele Molfese, and Jay Gardner met with the Trustees. Students on student/trustee committees also met with the Trustees. Maloy said "two things of pertinence" were discussed in the Trustee meetings. First, the topic of divest- ment was addressed by the. Trustees. Last spring, Alleghe- ny Trustees decided not to divest college funds from South Africa. Recently, the group Allegheny Students Advocating Divestment (ASAD) circulated a petition throughout campus in an at- tempt to re-surface the issue of divestment. Over the weekend, ASAD presented its petition of 462 signatures to Samuel Hell- man, Trustees Chairman. Ac- cording to Maloy, "no action was taken on the petition". Chaplain Don Skinner's resignation was also discussed. Maloy said the Trustees want Allegheny to operate its reli- gious programs with continued strength after Skinner leaves. As a result, Maloy said Presi- dent Daniel Sullivan agreed to hire a new chaplain to replace Skinner. Members of the Student Affairs Committee also met with the Trustees on Friday to discuss minority affairs on cam- pus. In new business, ASG council heard funds requests from several campus organiza- tions. Finance Committee mem- ber Brian Sullivan presented a funds request from BACCHUS, a group which promotes alcohol awareness. Sullivan said BAC- CHUS is asking ASG for $500 in order to cover the costs of bringing speaker Curtis Sliwa to campus this evening. Sliwa is the leader and founder of the Guardian Angels. Sullivan added that BACCHUS paid $200 from its own budget to fund Sliwa's appearance. The Dean of Students Office and the Career Counseling and Development Center also contributed $500 each. BACCHUS member Karen McFeeters attended the ASG meeting to argue in defense of the group's funds request. McFeeters said she felt BAC- CHUS is a little-known and "misunderstood" campus organization. She added that Sliwa's appearance will be a good way to increase awareness of BACCHUS as an organiza- tion . Allegheny Community Ex- change (ACE), a campus service organization, also presented a funds request to ASG. ACE re- quested $75 in order to purchase a camera. Becky Spresser, ACE member, said the camera would be used to document events and "build history" of ACE through photographs. The Student Experimental Theater (SET) also requested $450 from the general fund. Additionally, SET requested $6,360 from the replacement fund for new lighting equip- ment. The replacement fund is a sum of money specifically set aside for campus organizations in order to replace broken or outdated equipment. The Communications Con- ference Group requested $281.50 from ASG's general fund. Curriculum Concerns Group Formed • Friday, October 21 - Sunday, October 23 WHO KILLED ROGER RABBIT Admission $1.00 8:00 PM by Ann Bomberger Managing Editor Talking About Curricular Concerns (TACC), a group comprised solely of students, has been formed to collect and answer questions from students about the change to semesters. Provost and Dean of the College Andrew T. Ford said the committee was formed to "take the heat out of the system" which has arisen over the semester change. Member of TACC Terry Steyer said there is "a lot of misinformation on campus now." The group will try to clear up all confusion on the matter, said Steyer. The goals of the group, ac- cording to Ford, are to "act as a giant vacuum," gathering up as much student opinion and ques- tions as possible and to "try to find effective ways to answer these questions." Ford said this group will not consider whether the college should change to semesters be- cause "that debate is over." The calender will change to semesters in the fall of 1990 and TACC was formed to make sure "no one gets messed up over the change." Two students from each of the Freshman, Sophomore and Junior classes are on the com- mittee. Steyer said the group was divided among the classes because "different classes see different needs." The members of the committee are: Kyle Sollenberger, who is also a member of the Curriculum Committee and who will act as a liaison between the groups, Steyer, Darrell Park, Nancy Mendrala, Eric Smith and April Giesler. Steyer said the group's main objectives for first term are to try to get out another question and answer sheet and to set up a table in the post office where Ford and members of TACC can answer questions. He said time difficulties may force both of these goals to be completed next term, but right now they are planned for first term. The idea for such a group originated in the spring, when Ford and others felt a need for it. Allegheny Student Government nominated several students for the committee this fall and then Ford made the final decisions.

Students at Southwest Texas have been unable to buy any contraceptives at the campus health clinic since the summer, when the Texas State University System Board of Regents banned contraceptive distribution of any kind on the campuses under its control. In protest, the UT-Austin University Democrats have been collecting condoms fro m students at a campus booth since Sept. 26. They'll soon take the contraband in a "Contraceptive Caravan" to Southwest Texas in San Marcos. "We've filled a large jar with condoms," said UT University Democrats President David Brown, who estimates there are a few dozen condoms in the jar. Health experts, including U.S. Surgeon General C . Everett Koop, say using condoms can help reduce the spread of AIDS (aquired immune deficiency syndrome) and other sexually transmitted diseases. "The Contraceptive Caravan," said University Democrat Doug Irving, is a way continued from page 1 believe the vote could go either way. Earlier this week, Dukakis acknowledged his role as the underdog while polls show that Dan Qyle's position as Bush's running mate remains as a negative influence to voters. Experts also note that the Bush lead is still susceptible to bad news in the last few weeks of to show support for S W T students. "This is not a partisan issue." He called the ban on contraceptive distribution "inane" in light of heightened concern about sexually transmitted diseases. Their efforts come at a time, moreover, when officials at the Centers for Disease Control report that the AIDS scare has not markedly prompted students to take measures--such as using condoms--to protect themselves during sex. Many schools, of course, are conducting seminars, distributing pamphlets and installing condom machines to try to educate and protect students--whose relatively promiscuous lifestyles have persuaded health officials to warn heterosexual collegians are more vulnerable to AIDS infection than everyone except homosexuals and intravenous drug users--about the disease. Some campus critics claim such efforts actually encourage student sex. "Unfortunately, some will see it as the university encouraging sex, and that's bunk," said Rick Morgan, a student at Michigan State University, where the student government has convinced wary officials to install condom vending machines in five dorms on a trial basis this fall. "We're not trying t o encourage sex, and we're not the Reagan administration. A panel posed questions which were answered by the candidates, who had no formal opportunities during the 90 minute debate to question each other. Panelists included moderator Bernard Shaw of CNN, Andrea Mitchell of NBC, Ann Compton of ABC, and Margaret Warren of Newsweek magazine. trying to discourage sex. We're just trying to protect people." At the University of Maryland, which also installed condom machines this fall, health center director Dr . Margaret Bridwell thinks the anti-contraceptive forces may be dangerously naive. "Anybody who thinks that young people aren't sexually active doesn't know what's going on," she said. "And at this stage of the game with AIDS as a fatal (sexually transmitted disease), even asking the question is just sort of begging the issue." In fact, the majority of schools seems to favor Bridwell's approach. The University of Arizona's by Jonathan Watson Staff Writer Nasty, vicious and boring. This is how the Presidential campaign has been characterized by the press. Political Science Professors Irwin Gertzog, Michael Stevens, Diplomat in Residence The Honorable Archer Blood, and Assistant Professor of Political Science Bruce Smith all feel that different aspects of the election have an effect on the voters view of the campaign. Of the campaign in general Gertzog says, "Its been a very negative campaign, with the two candidates criticizing each other quite a bit." Smith feels the campaign has been waged symbolically without really addressing the is- sues that are crucial to the country. He wonders whether this signals the voters have "...become so enamored with image and symbols" that they ignore the critical issues of campaign. Blood agrees and says, "I've been disappointed in the cam- paign, I think, primarily because it strikes me as an advertising and commercial campaign with candidates being stages in front of props like the statue of liber- ty and the American flag." In terms of how effective the campaigns have been, all four faculty agree the Republi- cans have been the most effec- tive of the two parties, in terms of getting their message across to the voters. health center, for example, provided 300 free condoms and safe sex brochures for two fraternities to distribute at a Sept. 17 party attended by 1,000 students. "Everyone was walking around with condoms behind their ears," reported Gregory Usdan of Zeta Beta Tau, which cosponsored the party with Delta Chi. "They were everywhere. It was great." University of Colorado at Colorado Springs officials said in September that they, too, will install condom vending machines after renovations to several campus buildings are finished. "I wouldn't be surprised if According to Smith the Republicans have been able to control what issues are discussed in the campaign. He says the major issues of the campaign has been the definition of the "...perimeters of a legitimate political discussion". He also said the issues are not a matter of conservatism versus liberal- ism, but are a matter of envi- sioning the country and convey- ing that vision to the rest of the country. Gertzog agreed, saying the issues that have gotten the most attention are the most emotion laden ones. He feels these is- sues, such as the pledge of alle- giance, capital punishment and reproductive rights aren't the ones that are the most crucial to the future of this country. Rather, he feels the major issue of this campaign has been whether or not the policies of the last eight years should be carried on. Blood said he feels the Re- publicans were able to effective- ly put Dukakis and t h e Democrats on the defensive by portraying his as being a "Progressive Liberal", soft on crime and defense. Stevens agrees with his colleagues, but added a few spe- cific issues of concern to each party. For the Republicans, there are the issues of peace and prosperity, economic security, the Soviet Union and the fight against Communism. On the Democratic side Stevens sees the issues of the deficit, and the en- vironment. some students were offended" by the decision, said Dean of Student Life Roy Wisner, but "it's a minimal effort to help prevent the spread of a horrendous disease." Students at Southwest Texas don't seem offended by the prospective condom caravan from UT-Austin. In fact, SWT students Jody Dodd say her classmated appreciate the effort. Yet UT students, she added, should take precautions to ensure a similar ban is not enacted at their campus. "One thing we want to say to UT students is 'Check out your board of .regents.' This could happen at UT." Professors As for the choice of Dan Quayle as a running mate all four agree Bush made a mistake. Despite his negative impact on the ticket, they agree Quayle has not lost the election for the Re- publicans. Bentsen on the other hand, has helped the Democrats narrow the gap in the election, they said. All four faculty members feel it is most likely Bush will win the election. Grad Day To Be Held The Counseling and Career Development Center at Allegheny College will host its 3rd annual Graduate and Profes- sional School Day on Tuesday, Oct. 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Campus Center lobby. Students and other interested members of the community will be able to talk with representa- tives from various graduate and professional schools. Among the 50 to 60 counselors expected on campus will be representa- tives from the fields of law, medicine, health, business man- agement, chemistry, library and information science, theology and others.

News ? The CAMPUS ? Page 5 College Job Market Booms Where The Candidates Stand On The Issues College Press Service The part-time job inarket for college students is booming this fall, placement specialists have reported in recent weeks. Job boards at schools as varied as Kirkwood Community College in Iowa, Miami-Dade Community College, Missis- sippi State and California State- San Jose universities, Franklin and Marshall College and the universities of Maryland and Miami reportedly remain full of listings for students who, now avidly wooed, sometimes find themselves weighing competing job offers. Nationwide, "college stu- dents should be able to find plenty of part-time and entry- level full-time jobs," said Vicky Bohman of Manpower, Inc., the New York-based temporary em- ployment agency which released a survey of such jobs the last week of September. Bohman and others thank several trends for the boom. She cited a decline in the number of young people na- tionwide--creating a labor short- age for firms that have always hired college-aged workers--and even some corporate uncertainty as causes of the job market boom. "As the (economic) outlook improves," Bohman said," the employer may be unwilling to add permanent employees, but may be able to hire workers on a temporary basis to see if a job is really needed." Jane Miller, a jobs administrator at Michigan State University, agreed some compa- nies like to "test drive" a job by filling it with a student. Other firms are wooing students more for demographic reasons. In Long Beach, Calif., "nobody was applying for jobs (and) I turned to the schools to locate applicants," explained J.C. Penney's Jo Maxwell, who added she did so reluctantly be- cause students generally aren't available during her peak Christmas season. Maxwell's not the only one. "There are increases every year" in the number of part-time jobs ., offers to students, said Califor- nia State University-Long Beach placement official Tony Hodge. "In New York," Bohman added, "the student population declined 21 percent between 1970 and 1980. There are just fewer college-age workers." The competition for them has helped push up wages and, in some places, left campuses themselves unable to find enough students to fill their own part-time positions. The result has been long lines at cafeterias at the Univer- sity of Maryland, where food service Director Matthew Sheriff complained last week he still had 100 student jobs he could not fill. To win student workers back from higher-paying off- campus employers, Arizona State University raised mini- mum pay for some jobs to $4.02 per hour, from $3.61, and to $9.22 for some other jobs, said student aid official Richard Cons. "The changes are working," Cons reported. They haven't worked every- where. Just three weeks into the year, Iowa State University ran out of work-study funds because it had tried to cure an on-campus labor shortage by raising work- study pay by 20 percent, ISU administrator Janie Barnett said. The University of N e w Mexico, moreover, had to cut 200 on-campus work-study jobs because it had to pay students more to compete with off-cam- pus job offers. Kent State University work- study officials, meanwhile, did not raise wages, and reported they can't fill their on-campus work-study positions because students are opting to take off- campus jobs that pay more. All of that, of course, tends to be great news for the 4.6 million-some students who, ac- cording to a 1984 Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching survey, work part- time. Other, more recent surveys hint that as many as seven out of every 10 collegians--or about 8.4 million people--work during the school year, said Anne-Marie McCartan of the Council of Higher Education in Richmond, Va. The percentage may be even Mike Dukakis "Contra aid must end. It is not a lever which will pry open Nicaragua's closed political system but a wedge separating u s from our friends in the region." "I think an insecure, failing Soviet Union is not in our national in- terest." "We don't need SDI." "If we need additional revenue, we ought to be courageous enough to step up and ask for a progressive, fair and equitable tax pack- age." "Affirmative action is a necessity." "I have a record I'm proud of. I've dou- bled the amount of women and minorities in state services at all levels." "Are we serious about dealing with crime in our society? If w e are, we must restrict the possession, sale and ownership o f handguns." Says South Africa is a "terrorist state." "I have always op- posed ca-pital punish- ment and will continue to do so." George Bush "In Nicaragua, I fully support freedom fighters until or unless it becomes clear that the current peace pro- posal can lead to gen- uine democracy" "It was eight years of American strength that confronted the Soviet Union with the true costs of aggression and necessity for re- form." "I am a strong sup- porter of SDI." "I will not raise tax- es." "We live in an open and pluralistic democ- racy where everyone has the right to par- ticipate in the political process." "I am committed to equal rights for wom- en... but I do not sup- port the ERA." "I have always op- posed federal g u n registration or licens- ing of gun owners." Says South Africa is not a "terrorist state." "I strongly favor the death penalty for the narcotrafficers. We've got to continue to strengthen sen- tences to deter crimi- nal acts." higher. At the University of Missouri-Columbia, student work assignment coordinator Judy Whitted estimates as many as 80 percent of the students there work. The jobs they do, of course, range from those like babysit- ting to retail sales to general la- bor to auto mechanics to tele- marketing. Others are more substantial. "Many of the country's major employers- -Anheuser-B usch, Monsanto, McDonnell Douglas- - are located in the St. Louis area," Whitted said. "Employment opportunities with these companies are in- creasing." "Major" employers trolling the Michigan State campus for students to hire also sometimes bring on students full-time after graduation, MSU's Miller added. Whatever the job, however, everyone seems to want to hire a student this fall. Even Ann Thompson, her- self a Cal State-Long Beach se- nior who recently started a secretarial service, wants to hire a college student to work with her. "College students," she said," are glad for a job that ac- commodates their schedule. They may take less pay (for a flexible job) than another work- er." FalTaSTic PacKaGiNG, BUT wHaT's iNSive? George Bush For President PERSPECTIVES THE CAMPUS Thursday, October 20, 1988 Editorial: Vote Dukakis On November 8, the American people will exercise their Constitutional right to select this country's leader. More than that, they will be determining the direction America will take into the 21st century. Michael Dukakis' policies are not just an extension of the 1980's. They show Michael Dukakis' vision ofAmerica's future. For the past eight years, the national government has been dominated by the rhetoric of the "Great Communica- tor." How long can his successor hold together the glorious dreams and visions of America, if he looks only to the dream, and not to reality? Michael Dukakis believes in and acts upon reality. His economic policies worked a miracle in Massachu- setts. He inherited a disaster, but created a thriving pro- business economy and a system of social programs de- signed to help those who need help, the lower clases, without destroying the economy. Perhaps the most dangerous problem this nation may face in the future is class division. According to Con- gressional Budget Office statistics, a wedge has been driven between the top and bottom of American society. History has shown that when the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, social tensions develop. The U.S. has avoided class politics such as have hampered the United Kingdom for years, but we now appear to be headed in that direction. Michael Dukakis has the domestic policies that will unify our nation. By finally increasing the minimum wage, to $4.55, Michael Dukakis promises low-income families the spend- ing power inflation has robbed them of. This measure is Michael Dukakis' response to the present Administration's failed trickle-down policy. The problem was that trickle- down stalled in the businesses and never got to the people on thObottom. His child care program provides for just that, child care, not tax credits which would likely be used as supplemental income for the family. Michael Dukakis will create univeral health insurance, rather than force poor families to shell out extra money to buy the right of health care. Michael Dukakis does not forget about businesses, either. His social programs are funded in part by tax credits to the private sector, to the advantage of both. By dividing the responsibility for social programs be- tween the government and business, Michael Dukakis is able to continue programs, where others may have had to shut them down altogether. America is a strong world superpower. Reagan has done at least this much for us. In doing so, though, he has ignored domestic problems. We need to take some time out to fix such problems as class division. Michael Dukakis understands the new situation of peace in the world, including the relaxation of tensions with the Soviet Union and the end of the Iran-Iraq war. He sees that now is the time for the United States to catch up on internal affairs. The role of the United States in the world community is changing. We can no longer blindly force our views on the rest of the world, as the United States is no longer the only nation with world power. Our allies' economies have grown in recent years, while our share of the global pie has shrunk. Yet we continued on page 7 Members of The CAMPUS Editorial Board: Pat Bywater, Edward Costello, Richard Earley, Kirk Henderson, Saqib Hussain, Charles Jacques, Brian Linton, John Petruna Jr., Rebecca Roolf by John Petruna Editorial Board Member While accepting the Repub- lican nomination, George Bush asked his audience this question: "If you have to change horses in mid-stream, isn't it better to choose one that's going the same way?" When all is told, we will have our answer this question, because America is changing horses on November 8; and only one of the candidates' horses is going the same way. America has a clear choice this election year: whether she will remain ever strong and vigilant abroad; whether her economic future will be one of growth and expansion; and whether ever more Blacks Are Racist, Too I am writing in response to Max- ine Brown's "Allegheny's Racism Revival", printed October 13 in The CAMPUS. The article of- fended me and aroused my anger. I feel as if Ms. Brown is being extremely one-sided and unfair. Since I am a white student, people are likely to think, "Well, obviously this girl is going to have a different perspective, how can she not?" I have talked to several black students who are just as offended as I was by Ms. Brown's article. I agree with Ms. Brown about racism existing on campus; I think there are few places where it does not. There is, however, just as much racism from blacks to whites as whites to blacks. Ms. Brown has a tendency to take events personally which happen to everyone, regardless of being black, white, red, green, or purple. Ms. Brown pouts that "white students have ignored me." Whites ignore other whites, blacks ignore other blacks, whites ignore blacks, and blacks ignore whites. It has nothing to do with color; it is human nature to ignore other people, particularly strangers. The author is obviously hos- of her people will become and re- main prosperous and gainfully em- ployed. That choice is the elec- tion of George Bush; the choice of jobs, peace and prosperity. George Bush understands the pate we as a nation took to get our economy back on track. The cur- rent administration inherited a diseased America mired in high interest rates, high taxes, high un- employment and high inflation. George Bush understands the com- bination of tax cuts, tax reform and deregulation that has brought us 70 months into the broadest, longest economic expansion in post-war history. His policies will carry this proud achievement ever further. GeorgeBush understands that tile towards white students. She has closed her mind to free-think- ing whites and has formed the expectation that because she is black she will be discriminated against. Is this not the definition of prejudice? Many black students never give whites a chance, but just close their minds off to pro- tect themselves. Blacks can come off as being very hostile because of this. Anyone with such a hos- tile exterior for any reason will be ignored, regardless of their color. As for Ms. Brown's com- ments on black stereotyping, it is true. Whites do stereotype blacks, but no more than blacks stere- otype whites. In fact, one of these stereotypes is that whites stere- otype blacks. Ms. Brown makes some valid comments in her ar- ticle, but it is all written in her point of view, which is very one- sided. Coming from the South (Marietta, Georgia), I do see much racism, all of which is irrational and unjust. I even attended a march against racism held in Foresythe County, Georgia. The important thing to note about the march was the outnumbering of blacks by whites participating in the march, an unbalance of nearly six whites for every black. In other words, tax cuts, like the capital gains tax cut he recommends, can actually increase revenues, and he will make that cut. He understands that some areas of the country need the kind of extra help that enterprise zones will provide, and he will reach out to those people with such special treatment. He understands that the line item veto can eliminate congressional waste, and he will fight for and use that powerful tool. His opponent plans at least $37 billion per year in new spend- ing while pledging taxes "only as a last resort," but George Bush understands that the American people are not being taxed too little, the government is spending continued on page 7 six times more whites than blacks were protesting racism than blacks. It was all carried out in the spirit of brotherhood and love. The kind of racism experi- enced there was a very different nature than that which Ms. Brown writes about. This was a blind hatred of a person due to differ- ences in appearance, with a total disregard to any possible good qualities. Generally speaking, I think that on this campus a majority of whites get over their initial first impression of blacks being a whole different race of people. Most whites do not even think of blacks as being black, and therefore dif- ferent, but rather someone who is an equal and who can have a nor- mal relationship with. Laura Toensmeier Integrity & Divestment It seems to me that folks here at Allegheny must continue to put pressure on the Board of Trustees to reconsider their decision not to disassociate Allegheny College from South Africa apartheid. It will not be easy. The po- litical climate here at Allegheny is tepid because students are ex- traordinarily timid about lifting continued on page 7 Letters To The Editor CPS October 20,1988 ? Perspectives ? The CAMPUS ? Page 7 Editorial: Vote for Dukakis Morning in America continued from page 6 continue to spend the money of American taxpayers for their de- fense, while their citizens get a free ride. Michael Dukakis will urge such grown-up babies as Japan out on their own. Economics play a tremendous role in foreign policy, as Michael Dukakis and Lloyd Bentsen clearly see. Through proper play of eco- nomic funds and a restructuring of world markets, the United States could improve its foreign rela- tions while expanding our own foreign markets. Lloyd Bentsen is an asset to the Dukakis campaign. He brings Washington experience to the ticket. Bentsen's alternative views on several key issues will force the administration to look criti- cally at situations, without resort- ing to hard-line party politics. The Dukakis administration will not run secret operations out of the White House basement. Also, should something hap- pen to President Dukakis, Lloyd Bentsen would not miss a step in filling Dukakis' shoes. The nation's future wouldn't be mort- gaged, waiting for 1992 to roll around. Another aspect of this cam- paign, among all the vague gener- alities and non-issues, is that the voters will also determine the policies of another whole branch of government: the Supreme Court. With the three most liberal justices of the Supreme Court, Wil- liam Brennan, Thurgood Marshall, and Harry Blackmun, all ap- proaching retirement, Michael Dukakis will have the opportunity to appoint new justices who share in his vision. What vision is this? It is a vision in which America, the old- est democracy in the world, looks to its roots in the United States Constitution and finds the correct and legal paths to grow into the future. Michael Dukakis would ap- point justices such as Harvard's Lawrence Tribe, maintaining the balance on the court. His oppo- nent, however, would support the appointment of the likes of Judge Robert Bork. The Supreme Court already includes six conservative justices, but they are still pulled to the left through the influence of the lib- eral justices, _especially Justice Brennan. A purely conservative Court would dangerously limit civil lib- erties and reverse fundamental de- cisions dealing with civil rights, women's rights, and freedom of speech. It would be likely to uphold laws imposing censorship and re-segregating schools. The reason Michael Dukakis vetoed the bill that would force school children to recite the Pledge of Allegiance is not that he is un- patriotic, but that he holds the Constitution higher than a mere symbol. Michael Dukakis' administra- tion will look to create a unified America for the 21st century, while strengthening fundamental Con- stitutional values. His ideas are for the America of tomorrow, not the America of yesterday, both in the Presidency and in his appoint- ments to the Supreme Court. continued from page 6 too much. While his opponent runs on exaggerations of his "miraculous" Massachusetts rec- ord, George Bush has a record of clear success which mandates respect. As clearly as his economic policy, George Bush's foreign policy must be appreciated as much for its successes in the past as for its vision of the future. He Vice President GEORGE BUSH understands the risks of depend- ing on the goodwill of the adver- sary to maintain peace. He under- stands the U.S. position in the world and has a firm vision of what her role should be. So while his opponent would unilaterally cut our nuclear modernization, George Bush is unwilling to give something for nothing. He un- derstands that only the viable bargaining position is one of strength, that his opponent's nu- clear freeze is a recipe for failure. George Bush made the INF treaty possible for fighting for nuclear modernization in the capitols of Europe. His opponent cannot grasp this kind of strategic plan- ning, this kind of vision, but George Bush can. America can count on George Bush to maintain our strength, to maintain the peace we now enjoy. George Bush once said that a technocrat can get the trains to run on time, but still have no idea where they're going. To succeed, a president must have a sound vision of where our future should lead, a confidence that we can reach those goals, and sound poli- cies to make them possible. But George Bush's opponent offers no vision of America's future, only naysaying and gloom. His opponent's vision reflects the kind of national identity crisis reminis- cent of the late 70's. And while George Bush's policies carry with them a history of success, his opponent has only dredged up the failed policies of the past. These kinds of policies assume that the American people can't do better themselves. These policies assume that the govern- ment must do it for us. But George Bush has more faith in the Ameri- can people that that. He knows that Americans can better decide for themselves, so for instance, while his opponent's child care plan would require grandmothers to be licensed before receiving aid, George Bush will allow par- ents to choose for themselves. The American people can trust George Bush because he shares their values. While his opponent opposes the death pen- alty, George Bush understands that our society has the right to impose such a serious penalty on heinous criminals like cop-killers and drug kingpins. And America can rest assured that during a Bush admin- istration, in no case would such criminals be granted weekend passes before even being eligible for parole, because unlike his opponent, George Bush rec- ognizes that victims have rights, too. He supports the ACLU's re- lentless pursuit of civil liberties. Yet unlike his opponent, George Bush finds no difficulty in de- nouncing that organization's sup- port of child pornography and drug legalization. He's not afraid to disagree with the ACLU, because George Bush supports tax-exemp- tions for churches, responsible covert action, and ratings on movies. George Bush shares your values, and whether dealing in foreign, economic or social pol- icy, he will uphold them. America today is blessed. More Americans are holding jobs, good jobs, than ever before. There's peace abroad and pros- perity at home. But as good as it is now, America's best days are still ahead. Under the strong, capable leadership of George Bush, this country will continue to be the envy of the world for her strength, prosperity and quality of life. In November, America has a choice, a clear choice for her fu- ture. His name is George Bush. {Editor's Note: The following also contributed to this article: Saqib Hussain, Charles Jacques, and Brian Linton) continued from page 6 their inherited political prejudices and coming out from under them. Are they afraid of breaking a sweat? Maybe they could use a good soaking. Many progressive-minded students deride the majority as "conservative" in the Bill Buck- leyan sense, and attribute the stul- tifying atmosphere to that cause. I disagree. I have no problem with Bill Buckley types exercis- ing their political muscles. Nor do I gag at the sight of Dukakis sup- porters registering voters in Mead- ville. As long as people are in- volved in everyday political praxis, I can stomach any political voice, no matter how extreme. The noise reassures me that my polity is in working order. What I cannot stomach, and what I most fear, is apathy. I will not take up space tot- ting out the causes of student lax- ity, but I think it is safe to say that Allegheny has a long way to go before it becomes a vigorously dynamic intellectual/political/ social community. It is getting better though, and the professors I have chatted with say they are beginning to notice faint rustlings in the intellectual bush. The doz- ing hulk of the Allegheny student body is starting to wake But it needs some more prod- ding. A.S.A.D. is one of the or- ganizations on campus that tries to "raise consciousness" (to use a —ulp!— term from the sixties) and poke the dozing hulk into political wakefulness. The vari- ous com-mittees assigned to giv- ing life to Resolution III are other organizations that attempt to do the same thing. But while I laud them, I cannot help but to question their integrity. Allegheny College is crippled because when the Board of Trus- tees voted down divestment, they essentially made any anti-apart- heid action or any race-relations improvement duplicitous. How can Allegheny College expect any person (especially a black prospective student) to nod with approval at an anti-apartheid move or a race-relation improve- ment when that person can easily find out that Allegheny is still financially associated with South Africa oppression? Wouldn't any action then be in bad faith? Don't get me wrong; I en- dorse Resolution III. I think what Allegheny is trying to do to im- prove race relations here at home is wonderful. But any gesture, no matter how beneficent and mag- nanimous, is now an action with- out any compelling moral force. No matter how strong our legs, we have no earth to walk on. Divest- ment can give us solid ground. But that doesn't mean we cannot build up our muscles. Although that entails a lot of hard work and pain; most importantly, it involves the firm resolve to endure the exercise of lifting up inherited political prejudices, looking under them, and question- ing their foundations. And of course, it means being open to the possibility of necessarily setting the stones aside. It's grueling, sweaty work, but it's the work that makes us politically healthy. Anthony Monta A Nation's Consciousness As a recent 1988 graduate of Allegheny College and a political science major, I would like to offer a few observations of recent events and the 1988 elections. Even though I personally be- lieve political responsibility is an obligation and duty of all Ameri- cans, I am deeply disturbed by some of the recent criticisms and allegations made in this election by both current political incum- bents, challengers, and their im- age makers. I have been busy working during my spare time campaign- ing and working closely with the Cumberland County Democratic Party, and feel that our colleges have somewhat been lax in pre- paring undergraduates in certain key areas. For example, many college students seem today to have lost a sense of involvement in the larger community beyond merely going to classes or attend- ing social functions at the school. Political and social obliga- tions are learned qualities which must be gained and reinforced through real life experiences. The challenges and opportunities in- herent in community service should be developed more fully into an overall academic experi- ence, if our graduates are to par- ticipate fully and become a larger part of our communities upon graduating. I am not criticizing Allegheny for not offering these opportuni- ties for personal growth. How- ever, the lack of commitment and sense of duty to the community and values which underpin our sense of being Americans has been eroded considerably in the past ten years in society at large. Today many college students seem to loose interest and become complacent if he or she won't receive a grade, credit of some sort, and does not receive some immediate benefit of some kind. Perhaps the key question is why have our transcendent values given way to more material values of material gain and existence? In that question lies the fate of our generation and country. Of course, the lessons one learns in life are frequently harsher and of longer duration than those of the classroom. One of the great- est lessons and challenges I hope that the faculty of Allegheny will teach and exhibit in and out of the classroom by their own personal example is their concept that the individual can make a difference not only in politics and thought but in the betterment of the com- munities in which we reside. We must realize that our highest ide- als and beliefs are meaningless and worth little if we don't prac- tice what we preach. Lately I have been distressed by some of the campaign tactics of Mr. Bush's labelling of Mr. Dukakis as a liberal. Suddenly in politics, like fashion, there are certain trends and buzzwords which are perceived to be syn- onymous with the sum total of all that is traditional, desirable, and worthwhile in American political philosophy, while all others are viewed as non-orthodox heresies against the almighty Conserva- tive righteousness (not unlike the Puritans of old). American political traditions draw deeply not only upon con- servative foundations, but by the pragmatic moderate realists, and liberal, idealistic, dreamers who were never satisfied with the status quo. For example, here is a list of five presidents of the 20th Cen- tury whom would have been con- sidered liberal in their own time: 1) Theodore Roosevelt, 2) Woodrow Wilson, 3) Franklin Roosevelt, 4) Harry Truman, 5) John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson (a continuation pretty much of the same presidency in most areas). continued on page 9 Patrick Buchanan Syndicated Columnist As t h e orthodox Com- m u nists y e t residing in the Kremlin gaze across Central Europe to Yu- goslavia, that Dalkan scale model of their own country, with its disparate people, cultures and nations, they must be muttering to themselves, "Today, them; tomorrow, us." Yugoslavia is a mirror image of the Soviet Union, but is a country that has advanced much further along the road that Moscow has only begun to travel; and Moscow cannot like what it sees. In the ethnic clashes, the economic collapse, the workers' clamor for the ouster of party bosses, the Politburo must see the harbingers of their own fate, just as Scipio, in the ashes of Carthage, reflected on the fate of Rome. Mr. Gorbachev's latest coup has been widely hailed in the Western press; he has consolidated his power, we are told; now he can enact his reforms. But, if "President" Gorbachev's true goal has actually solved nothing. For Yugoslavia, Communism's "halfway house" to freedom, demonstrates con- clusively: The Communist Party cannot solve the problems of a socialist society, because the Communist Party is the problem. In their dissent, Mr. Ligachev and his orthodox comrades would seem more right than wrong: Not only is Mr. Gorbachev risking colossal failure: like the Yugoslav heretics, he is corrupting the Communist idea in the process. When Western analysts speak of Gorbaqiev's "reform" of agriculture-- providffig farmers with 50-year leases on the land they work-- they are misusing words. Mr. Gorbachev is not "reforming" Communist agriculture; he is "corrupting" it, betraying the Marxist ideal by re-introducing the capitalist incentives of economic self-interest. And when Mr. Medvedev, the new ideologist, says the struggle against the West is not the highest purpose of the party, he is spouting rank heresy. The heirs of Mikhail Suslov must be as dumbfounded at such a remark as any orthodox Catholic would be on hearing Cardinal Ratzinger say that the salvation of souls is no longer the first order of business of the Catholic Church. As Lenin wrote, the Communist Party exists to wage war against the West, until final victory; this is why it was established. Again, an analogy with the Church is apposite. If the Vatican one day declared that actually hell was a myth, that all men will be saved regardless of how they behave or what they believe, what further need would Catholics have for a papacy? So, too, if the Communist Party of the Soviet Union is not a war party, not the vanguard of world revolution, what is its argument for holding all the reins of economic, military and political power? As the deepening crisis in Yugoslavia demonstrates, for a Communist regime, going halfway to freedom may entail a fate worse than never starting out on the journey. Today, Belgrade has the worst of all possible worlds. The party there no longer commands any loyalty from Leninist True Believers, for playing a central role in advancing the global revolution, and it has lost the allegiance of the common people, because its "reforms" have failed to deliver the fruits of capitalism. Listening to the rumbles in Poland, Hungary, Romania and, now Yugoslavia, the potential for an explosion, which could detonate Moscow's European empire, would seem to be growing. In the political and social realms, people are getting away with more than they ever did. Not only have the Communist parties lost any loyalty and allegiance, they are seen as political relics lacking the self-confidence, resolution and will to maintain themselves. Open contempt is replacing silent fear; defiance is replacing deference. In Yugoslavia, party leaders are being tossed out by workers. Today, millions of young men have grown up in Central and Eastern Europe with no experience of Stalinist terror, no experience of having to face down the tanks of the Red Army. Meanwhile, Mr. Gorbachev continues to preach glasnost. What Mr. Lincoln said of America, 13 decades ago, is surely true of Central Etirope. These countries, Poland, Yu- goslavia and Hungary, cannot endure half Communist and half free; they are either going to shake off the dead and clammy hand of Communist ideology, or they are going to be yanked back into the "embrace of the Motherland." Yugoslavia may tell us which way the wind is blowing. America and Western Europe's stake in the outcome of this momentous struggles is immense, whether Moscow and her statraps hold on with police repression and military force, or whether they gradually let go could mean the difference between a more secure peace, or a more dangerous Cold War. While it would be historic folly for the West to rush again, as during detente, with billions in loans to rescue these regimes from the contradictions of Communism, the West needs a coordinated strategy, a new coordinated policy toward Moscow's seething empire that is something more than waiting for the next eruption. Central Europe, its fate, its future and the West's role in it, needs to be on the agenda at the next summit, before thousands of European patriots one day rise up and put it there, as they did in 1956.

To Kill A Mike Royko Syndicated Columnist Sometimes I have second thoughts about my decision to become a new- born Republican. For example, last night I at- tended another meeting of my local chapter of the Bush-Quayle, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie, Motherhood and God, Flag-Waving Society. My conservative friend Grump chaired the meeting and asked for suggestions on how we might gather votes for Bush and Quayle. I stood up and said we should contact the Bush campaign office and ask them to have Bush kill a criminal. Grump looked startled and said, "Bush should do what?" I repeated my proposal that Bush kill a criminal. "My goodness," Grump said, "why should he do that?" To show the decent, law-abiding citizens of America that he doesn't believe in coddling criminals. And the best way to demonstrate that is to kill one. "But he has already said that he's against coddling criminals." Saying it isn't doing it. You never saw John Wayne say Lucky Ned Pepper and his gang, "I will not coddle you." He shot them full of holes. When Clint Eastwood goes up against scum, riff and raff, he doesn't say, "I must advise you that you will not be coddled." He doesn't even read them their rights. Just a mean squint and he blows them away. "But Bush can't do that." Why not? "A presidential candidate can't just go around shooting people, even criminals. It would be illegal." Not at all. We can surely persuade some Republican sheriff to deputize him. Then he will be legally authorized to kill a criminal. Believe me, when he does it, it will lead the evening news, , ,pecially if we can make the shooting a photo opportunity. "But where would he find someone to shoot?" That's easy. There are cops all over this country who know where there are drug dealers, dope dens, vicious street gangs. They can take him there and when the cameras are all set up, he can kick in the door and bust in with his guns blazing and kill the dirty rats. "You must be insane," Grump said. "A presidential candidate can't d o something like that." Why not? They kiss babies to show they love babies. They eat pizza Criminal to show they like Italians. So why can't he kill a criminal to show he hates them? "Because that is the job for the proper authorities. The police, the prosecutors, the judges and juries, and all the other law enforcement agencies." But obviously they have failed. If they hadn't, the coddling of criminals would not be an issue. So it is up to George Bush to do something about it. "He is doing something. He is taking a tough stance, speaking out against coddling, and vowing to make our streets safe again." That's not enough. Ronald Reagan said the same things eight years ago. He said he was against coddling criminals. And what do we have today? The same old stuff. Murders, mayhem, muggings, dope-dealing and even peeping toms. And do you know why? "No, why?" Because criminals don't care if a candidate says he won't coddle them. Do you think John Dillinger wanted to be coddled? Of course not. He wanted to rob banks. Do you think Al Capone craved coddling? Nonsense. He liked hitting people with baseball bats. Believe me, if you walk up to the average criminal and try to coddle him, he will conk you on the head and take your wallet and Rolex and ravish your female loved ones. So the threat of non-coddling just makes criminals snicker derisively at Bush. I can just hear them saying, "Hey, who want to be coddled by a skinny tennis player like you, anyway?" I'm sure he's the laughingstock of every prison. No, if he's to be believable, then he must kill a criminal. They understand that and they'll know he surely means business. "Impossible. Bush's staff would say we are insane. Besides, why should Bush kill a criminal? Dukakis hasn't" Of course Dukakis hasn't. And that's the entire point. Dukakis is a Democrat, so we don't expect him to kill a criminal. But as Republicans, we expect more from our hero. "It is out of the question." Well, then if Bush won't kill a criminal, what makes him any tougher on them than Dukakis is? Grump shouted: "Because at least Bush says that when he's president, he'll have somebody do it for, him." Sort of like a good butler or live-in cook? . Grump scowled. "I'm beginning to doubt your commitment to our cause." I then apologized, then suggested that maybe Dan Quayle could beat a confession out of a suspect. "That," Grump nodded, "might make a fine photo opportunity." Yes, especially if Dan slaps the villain with his sand wedge. (c) 1988 by The Chicago Tribune Distributed by Tribune Media Services, Inc. Corrupting Communism Writing The CAMPUS ?

SAY, DON'T You USED To BE GEORGE BUSH? Page 8 ? The CAMPUS ? Perspectives ? October 20, 1988 The Professors' Corner Curricular Reasoning around a specific topic. Yet to be completed by the Curriculum Committee is a list of possible Concentrations. Thus the proposal contains a major restructuring of the cur- riculum, including degree re- quirements. I will comment on these major changes below. A detailed description of the pro- posal will appear elsewhere. , Why do the Curriculum Committee and faculty want these changes? In attempting to answer this question, I do not claim to speak for either group, but will give the major reasons why I believe these groups sup- port the proposal. To begin, the major reason that people favor a semester cal- endar has to do with the students who are attending Allegheny, and the fact that in their first two years we put these students through a curriculum that was designed for students of a differ- ent time. The national picture is that students are less prepared for college than they were twenty years ago. That is also the picture at Allegheny, even though we still attract our share of the best students available. In their first two years of college most students have catching up to do. (I am not speaking of only the students who place in Math A or English 100.) Many find themselves doing remedial work in writing and mathematics, when twenty years ago such courses did not exist at Allegheny because they were not needed. Too many students have difficulty comprehending and assimilating what they read, be- cause of poor reading and think- ing skills. Many are unable to think critically about almost anything. Many simply have not learned to use language. But I do not want to paint too bleak a picture. I find stu- dents are a serious, bright, and energetic as ever. Their preparation, or lack thereof, which is not their fault, means they have farther to go. Acquiring intellectual skills, as well as learning to think, write, and talk correctly about mathematics, economics, poetry, philosophy, and any other area of knowledge requires time. These abilities are not attained by flipping switches. Learning to use an idea does not occur simply because it was covered in class, particularly among students who area trying to catch up. For these students the value of a course depends not only in time spent in class, but how much calendar time the course uses. Ten weeks is too short to change significantly the way a person uses language, thinks, writes, or solves math problems. Fifteen weeks is much longer and allows the things I am talking about a better chance to be realized. In a semester calendar most students will find the pace of courses more relaxed and will benefit from the longer exposure to course materials. To be continued next week Ronald Harrell is an Associate Professor of Mathematics and the Curriculum Committee Chair. by Ronald Harrell Guest Columnist Recent articles in The CAM PUS have made much of the pro- posal for curriculum changes, especially the switch to a semester calendar, approved by the faculty at its meetings on May 27 and June 9, 1988. Many of the questions raised in these articles are valid and de- serve a response. I write to clarify the source of the proposal and the people who took part in its formula- tion. During Spring Term, 1983, the faculty instructed the Curriculum Committee, through a resolution, to review the entire curriculum as to its quality and to recommend any changes that will enhance that quality. This enormous task culminated in the proposal discussed and voted upon by the faculty las t academic year. It should be emphasized that the Curriculum Committee wrote the proposal, and, except for minor changes, that proposal was the one approved by the faculty. The membership of the Curriculum Committee is six faculty, six students, and the Provost. Thus, during the five years of proposal development, students have had as much to say in drawing up the proposal, including the calendar change, as any group on campus. Unfortunately, the final faculty votes, in particular the one for the calendar change, did not occur until June 9, when students had left Meadville for the summer. This meant that they would not learn of the re- sult until they returned for Fall Terni. The reason for the lateness of the faculty vote was that the proposal . involves complex issues who resolution required much discussion. Last academic year the faculty devoted most of each of its meetings to its discussion and met nearly twice as often in order to discuss it adequately. Even then, they barely finished their discussions and many details remain to be worked out. The Curriculum Committee plans to spend most of this academic year preparing final versions of the provisions in the proposal. Each of these must be approved by the faculty. Students will be informed of committee recommendations as they are formulated. Besides the change to a semester calendar, the proposal replaces course credits with variable semester hour credits and requires a Freshman Seminar and Sophomore Writing Course of every student. It replaces the 3-3-3 distribution requirement with a Divisional Studies Requirement, which means that instead o f taking any three courses in a division, a student must take a coherent selection of courses. Which courses these are and what choices are available to students will be determined by each division. The ten course requirement is replaced by a Concentration in the divisions outside the one of the student's major. A Concentration is a group of at least five course that are centered THE CAMPUS Of Allegheny College The student-operated newspaper of Allegheny College since 1876 PAT BYWATER Editor In Chief ALLAN BURNS News Editor TODD LARSON MARK OSTROWSKI Assistant News Editors PAUL EWING TIM HAAS Simple Pleasures Editors LISA SLATTERY Ass't Simple Pleasures Editor DENNIS JOHNSON Faculty Advisor ANN BOMBERGER Managing Editor REBECCA ROOLF Perspectives Editor EDWARD COSTELLO Assistant Perspectives Editor PETER FOEHL Photo Editor PAUL GLOCK Assistant Photo Editor GLENN CAMPBELL LAURIE DIEDRICH MARTI GUNTHER SHIRA LEA CASSORLA MEGAN SCHNEIDER Copy Editors ROB HARBERT Executive Editor JEFF WUCHENICH SHELLEY BROWN Sports Editors GREG HAAS Assistant Sports Editor, PAM HARRISON STEPHANIE LUPA TODD SCHOONOVER DEBBIE CAFAZZO Layout Editors DENISE DOLCE - Advertising Manager The CAMPUS is published once weekly during the academic year.

Page 9 Letters Judge Based On Action continued from page 7 I believe there is nothing wrong with being a conservative or expounding your viewpoints, but the fact remains that the vast majority of the American elec- torate considers itself to b e independent, swing-voting, moderates. Although Mr. Bush may decry those liberal jurists of the courts who have their own agenda, he seems not to be aware of the fact that many con- servative jurists by their own philosophy of judicial restraint in fact have their own agenda. In fact, by not using their judi- cial power (or only in those ar- eas they deem proper), many a conservative jurist is in fact legislating in reverse by letting certain laws and prior decisions to stand while declaring others null and void. The Bible says, "Judge not, lest you be judged," and also, "Why see the speck in your neighbors eye when you have a board in your own?" Perhaps a more contemporary example of the diversity, complexity, and breadth of the differing tenets of American political and social philosophy (conservative, mod- erate, and liberal) has played in American society at large, I would urge you all to watch Bill Moyers' wonderful program, en- titled A World Of Ideas, on,PBS at least once. Before one starts placing labels on others one should get involved firsthand in dealing with people in ordinary, every- day, 'working relationships. Then instead of each individual having to pass a certain ideological litmus test, we would know how irrelevant those labels have become. We also should study the history of America and the role and scope of differing political philosophies that helped shape our current national conscious- ness and lack of feeling of commitment to our larger com- munities. When we study American political history, I'm sure we'll all see that our history was made less by ideological purists than by those who went about their everyday experiences trying to find solutions to the vast human problems of the day. Elliott Alan Sternbergh AZ To Host Convention Do you know what is really going on this weekend? How often we hear: "Who are all of these people?" "What's going on here?" "There's nothing to do this weekend." Amid all of the recent claims that the student body is not kept informed about campus events, we have found it difficult to increase awareness and attain community support of our activities. Now this weekend Alleghe- ny College is hosting a NA- TIONAL CONVENTION and I have not found the best way to tell you about it because "news isn't news until it has already happened." By now you are probably saying "big deal," so why don't I just get to the point and tell you about it. This month we have already had alumni, parents, and trustees supply us with stories, ques- tions, and entertainment. Now we are bringing in a much younger crowd of students, like you and me, from across the country. We will have a diverse group as the southern belles and gentes,, along with our northern friends, arrive. As the Lambda Sigma chapters send their dele- gates to the National Conven- tion here, I want you to know what is happening, to be in- formed. We will have approximately 150 people who will be staying with Allegheny students. We will be attending workshops and business meetings in the Campus Center, as well a s joining in the weekend entertainment, and we are spon- soring the Jungle Night on Sat- urday through. the Coop Board. I am excited about thiS, as is the Convention Committee. I would like to thank those members of the community who have already given us their sup- port. Further, I would like to ask community awareness and support as guests arrive to join us. I hope that knowing why these people are here and what is going on will help to make ev- eryone's weekend more enjoy- able. Thanks for reading... Carolyn Maxwell How Secure Are We? How secure are the students living on campus? Are we secure when a stu- dent can put his hand through a reinforced window, sever an artery doing so, call security, be taken to the hospital by a friend, be treated at the hospital, return to campus and get ready for bed before security arrives? Are we secure when a stu- dent needs immediate medical attention (e.g. Cardiopulminary Resuscitation) and security stands around just watching, de- ciding whether or not to call an ambulance, or preventing a stu- dent certified in C.P.R. or emergency medical care from trying to help the injured stu- dent? Are we secure when there are investigations of students who follow a different religion (i.e. a "cult"), while the drug pushers and known-attempted rapists on campus arenot-even , . . •. being watched? Are we secure when se- , curity is called in to investigate a theft, but does not take, accu- rate notes of the situation and does not investigate the sugges- tions of the people to whom the theft occurred? Are we secure when people can steal the speed bumps from Brooks Drive, with no possible repercussions? It seems that not only do we need to reevaluate our medi- cal policies and our food service, we need to take a good long look at the campus security as well.

Students who studied in Paris through the program last year will be present to answer questions about their persoi 'al experience. The "Allegheny College a Paris" program, specifically de- signed for the junior year, is di- rected by two native French professors who are members of the Allegheny faculty. The program allows participants to take courses at a variety o f institutions in Paris; including the Sorbonne, l'Institut des Etudes Sciences Politiques, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Catholic Institute of Paris. Heckles To Speak by Don Covill Skinner The Reverend Ms. Jane Heckles, director of development programs at Andover-Newton Theological School in Newton Centre, Massachusetts will de- liver the sermon at the 10:45 a.m. service in Ford Memorial Chapel on October 23. Heckles is a 1976 graduate of Allegheny College. During her visit to campus, Heckles will also meet with any student interested in graduate theological education. Appoint- ments may be arranged through the Office of the Chaplain. Andover-Newton is histori- cally rooted in the United Church of Christ and the American Baptist Churches, but is ecumenical in curriculum and constituency. It is one of nine graduate institutions in the greater Boston area which form the Boston Theological Insti- tute. by Rich Dudley Staff Writer Deep in a wood-paneled office, sitting in front of a window, amidst bookshelves filled with economics books, swivels Professor Romuald Kudlinski, a visiting faculty member. Born in Poland and a graduate of the University of Warsaw's economic department, Kudlinski has led what many would call a very complete life. After graduation, he began to work at the university as a young professor of Marxist economy. Soon after, he began to research American capitalism. "I was fascinated at the start by the world economy, but especially the American free- enterprise system. I wrote my first book in the late 1950s about this system. Then, I changed my intention to this subject...Then I wrote m y second book,called The Strategy of Big Corporations... I wrote my third book in the late 1970s. There were some shocks in the late 1970s - oil, inflation, etc." The book was called Some Problems of the World Economy. Besides the three books, Kudlinski has authored a cussed at the meeting. Applica- tions will also be distributed. Faculty members w h o would like to know more about the Paris program are also invited to attend. textbook and many articles on economics. "I have visited the United States several times. I got a scholarship to Stanford in the late 1960s. I stayed there for one year. And then I visited Indiana University, Bloomington. I had a lecture and research program there...In 1983 I visited Kent State for a year, where I lectured. Now I was invited for one year to Allegheny. It's my honor to be invited to stay here. The people are nice, this is a nice place to live, and the students are pleasant." According to Kudlinski, Allegheny is "very different. The universities in Poland are not so well equipped in terms of buildings, libraries, etc..." For Kudlinski, coming here was "very difficult for the first time comer. Very difficult to learn the English language, first of all. Secondly, it is a quite different society. I like it, but it's a culture shock. This country is so interesting. It's also difficult to live in a college dorm. It's a new environment. It's not so easy, but it seems I can cope with this problem." Kudlinski is also "very tennis oriented now." He is very proud of playing at Wimbledon. "In the general category, I represented m y country in 1949. I started to play tennis not in terms of professional play, but for some involvement." In the future, Kudlinski plans "to make use of the experience accumulated here. I plan to teach modern economic theory." Thinking of the most important thing that happened to him, Kudlinski turns very somber. "I survived the Warsaws insurrection. Sixty days in a basement. Remember, it was 1944, the war with Germany, and I was a child. Warsaw had approximately one million inhabitants, and twenty percent, 200,000 perished. I don't remember exactly what happened earlier, like when I was ten, or later, like when I was fifteen, but I can repeat, even today, all sixty days of what was going on in the basement in Warsaw. It's like some kind of film that lasts forever. It's most important to me, first of all, because I survived, and secondly, I was at the age where some external events influence you much later. It's sad." Participation in the program is open to all qualified students regardless of major.

And there is move- ment that sings. But when movement speaks and sings, well, that's ZeroMoving," says the dancing group's director and founder, Hellmut Gottschild. The ZeroMoving Dance Company will perform in the Raymond P. Shafer Auditorium tonight at 8:15 pm. The program is part of the Allegheny College Cen- terstage Arts and Lecture Series. ZeroMoving is an eight member troupe whose dancing is both humorous and very serious. Gottschild bases the works on those of a choreographer of the pre- Nazi period, Mary Wigman. He combines German ex- pressionism with details from the post-modern period to create this new, unique style. ZeroMoving is here at Allegheny through a fund from the Pennsylvania Council for the Arts. The show is the climax of a three- day residence here for the company, as Allegheny has been chosen as a second home for the Philadelphia- based troupe. They will re- turn for two more residences later in the year, with perfor- mances on February 9 and April 3. All performances are free and open to the public. The troupe offered workshops which were open to all Allegheny dance stu- dents and conducted by Karen Bamonte, Associate Artistic Director of ZeroMov- ing. She led the students through exercises empha- sizing basic movements and fluidity. She also stressed the importance of controlling the dominant parts of one's body while retaining freedom of movement. Ms. Bamonte was assisted in the workshops by members of the dance troupe. During its stay in Meadville, the troupe has also performed at Active Ag- ing, the Meadville Co-opera- tive pre-school, and the Meadville Council on the Arts. They have also held lecture/demonstrations and conduct classes at Alleghe- ny. The Zeromoving Dance Troupe Parents Weekend: Post Mortem Jungle Love and ESP to Dazzle CC by Gillian Thomas SP Writer What is it? A disease, a cafeteria special, or just one of those things? Yes, my parents did drop by. (Camera and all) After close examination of this whole event, I decided to release the results and see if comparable experiences were enjoyed by one and all. First- The pictures. Did your parents bring a camera? Do they now have pictures of every • building on campus? (with you in front-even more valuable!) My father brought his "telephoto" lens, being that this campus is as large as it is, he didn't want to miss a shot. Brick is so rare, he just had to get a picture. (help me, help me, somebody help me!) Second- The bookstore buying fren- zy. I didn't see the "Macy's basement sale" sign anywhere on campus. So where did the crowds come from? And you are saying." how would she know unless she were there? A-ha!" My parents had to get souvenirs of the college for all my rela- tives in case they forget where I am. Third- Why is everyone dressed up? This is Meadville, not the opera! (But looking nice did have its advantages in the beg- ging-for-money-area.) Fourth- I got to eat out. Fifth- We got a pumpkin (that's be real handy) and cellulite-in-a- wrapper, otherwise known as M&M's and candy corn, and soup, and candy, and cookies and candy. Spa Lady, here I come. Sixth- Enough complaints. I did like seeing the fogies, and it was fun to ride in our car again. Seventh- I got to eat out. Eighth- I like seeing all the parents wandering around with that con- tented look on their face. The life is wonderful, our-child- doesn't-live-at-home-anymore grin. The slow stroll to see our magnificent Campus Center, while you are in your room....studying, yeah, study- ing.... Ninth- Mom saying, "gee, honey, what time did you get in last night?" "5:30 a.m.! Hah! What are you going to do? GROUND ME??! !" (I needed to do that.) And last but not least... Tenth- Five more weeks of free- dom!! Yeah! But I won't stray too far from their checkbook. by Rich Dudley Staff Writer Ralph the Wonder Llama says "It's primal instinct time!" Steve Miller says "Like, it's driving me mad, y'know? It's like making me crazy." Steven Tyler says "I really need it. San Tropez, that is. Really. I do." Confused? Good. You're on the right track. Something to do with jungles? Close. A jungle? Where? Out there. But you knew that (sfx: insert ap- propriate yell here). Did you know about the proposed plan to restore the C.C. back to its original, jungular form? On display the 22nd (as in October). So don your favorite loincloth, grab Jane (by the hand, please), and call to Cheetah. Then watch for Todd "Tarzan never goes anywhere without his fork" Patrick, who was voted "Least Likely to Look Like Tarzan in a Loincloth" his senior year in high school. While donning the loin cloth, think about the Lambda Sigmas (you know, the Sopho- mores who helped you move in). They'll be there. As will Lambda Sigs from all across the country. It's conven- tion time at Allegheny! And you're invited. But conventions are always a jungle. Uh, well, ahem, yes, they are. This one more so than others. Lambda Sigma is hav- ing its national convention here, and at the same time they thought they'd have a party, (busy, aren't they? Moving people, conventions, and parties. Where do they find the time?). But, like, what about the jungle? Is it in danger of defor- estation? Are we going to lose countless species of unknown life due to human intervention? What's the deal (sfx: insert ap- propriate animal sounds here and carry thru end)? In actuality there may be a few new species of life discovered. Still con- fused? Try this: Lambda Sigma is having a national convention here • this week. They are also sponsoring a party. A jungle party (sfx: whoops and hollers, increase volume of animal noises). Yes, that's the jungle part. So what about the loin- cloth? PLEASE (very emphati- cally) dress like Tarzan or Jane so Todd won't look ridiculous (all right, all right, I admit, it may be too late. But try any- way.). And when you see a Jane you like, give the best Tarzan yell you can. There will be a contest (yes, like as prizes) for the best yell. And Jane might even take notice of you (especially if you were in a loincloth. Jane-types, encourage the Tarzan-types.). If the bunnies want to see a real Tarzan (and they probably will, imagining Todd in a loin- cloth), Ron Ely will be taking to the trees with the original Tarzan (like as in black-and- white movies original). And if that ain't enough, Black Tie Video (the guys from last week who stayed a half an hour longer-thanks y'all!) will be here again spinning the tunes all you swingers know and love to dance to. If that still isn't enough, there will be a treasure hunt. Find all the hidden clues. Win a prize. Meet the Jane of your dreams (jungle love, perhaps?). This Saturday, 9:00. The C.C.

He knows who desecrated the poster of him in Baldwin Hall. He's the Astonishing Neal, but he knew that too.

October 20, 1988 Page 12 by Marti Gunther Copy Editor Dennis Quaid is back! And he's looking and acting better than ever in D.O.A. If you missed The Big Easy, don't let D.O.A. slip by. It has much more meaning and depth than the average murder mystery. D.O.A. is a well done re- make of the 1949 mystery- thriller which starred Edmond O'Brien. The 1988 version tries to capture the nostalgia of the original with a melodramatic black and white beginning as Dexter Cornell (Quaid) stumbles into the police station to report his own murder. Dexter Cornell is a pub- lished English professor at a Liberal Arts college somewhere in the south. Quaid teams up again with Meg Ryan, his co-star from I n- nerspace, who plays Sydney Fuller, a freshman in Cornell's English class. Together they try to find Cornell's murderer and the motive, which is not so ob- vious as it seems. Quaid resembles a young H4rrison Ford (Raiders of the 1.4t Ark, Frantic) especially in hiS' performance in D .0 .A . Quaid even has Ford's gestures and sarcastic humor which should prove to be a real plus in his career. Ryan is only some- what believable as a college freshman, due in part to her pre- vious adult roles. Charlotte Rampling, who appeared in Stardust Memories and T he - Verdict, is the melodramatic, stereotypical and wealthy Mrs. Fitswaring. D.O.A. is a very exciting movie in terms of its visual as- pects.. In one scene Cornell's soon-to-be- ex-wife Gayle (Jane The CAMPUS Kaczmarek) hears some bad news and the room literally spins in her shocked state. Lat- er, when Cornell wakes up with a hangover he peers out a win- dow several stories high-- big mistake! Director of photogra- phy Yuri Neyman achieved a dizzying effect by actually drop- ping a camera out the window. Directors Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, have created a highly entertaining movie complete with suspense and gore. What makes D.O.A. even better are the underlying sym- bols and meanings. A second viewing is very worthwhile to catch this as well as the irony in the dialogue. Some of the movie's mean- ing emerges from the title of Cornell's book Blacking Out as well as Out of Wack by his stu- dent Nick Lang. This movie is more about life- and living it- than it is about death and mur- der. Cornell has 'blacked out' and stopped living life. In his last 36 hours, he is more alive than ever. Unfortunately he learns too late how to appreciate life and how to take chances. Out of Wack is in reference to Cornell's murderer and his/her motive. The confrontation scene visually appears out of wack with some more interest- ing photography of Neyman. The only disappointment is Cornell's closing dialogue. What could have been a very profound ending is completely' lost with a toss away line: It should, have been some quotable quote to sum up Cornell's life or life in general or perhaps some fatalistic warning that adds to the sadness of Cornell's death. Yes, he dies. Watch the final shots during the credits as the walks to the light at the end of his tunnel. I saw a Grateful Dead snort with "when the going gets wierd, the wierd turn pro" on the back. The person in the shirt had no idea who Raul Duke was, not even his character in Doonesbury - he is the model for Uncle Duke. He didn't even know that Raul Duke is Hunter Thompson. Thompson, the Prince o f Gonzo is back on the bestseller list once again. It was nice to find out what he had been doing between guest shots on Let- terman and the occasional interview and photo for a Rolling Stone anniversary issue. He has been keeping busy and making a living as a columnist for the San Francisco Examiner which he calls "The Thinking Man's Paper for the 80's" -in the interim. And that is what Generation of Swine is, a collection of columns from roughly Septem- ber of 1985 until October of 1987. There are other dates thrown in, but the book spans mainly two years of weekly columns of Thompson's ideas, thoughts, and visions of the news,and the people who make it. -Thompson made a name for himself in the late 60's and early 70's in the age of New Journal- ism with what for no particular reason he decided to call Gonzo Journalism. "It is a style of 'reporting' based on William Faulkner's idea that the best fic- tion is far more true than any kind of journalism. According to Thompson "True Gonzo re- porting needs the talents of a master journalist, the eye of an artist/photographer, and the heavy balls of an actor.

The major problem with Generation of Swine is the format. Thompson is now writ- ing for a newspaper column. When he goes off on a wild tangent, like he is prone to doing, the main thrust of that tangent seems to be edited out. There is a spacial problem that hinders true Gonzo reporting. For Gonzo Journalism to work, the author needs the space offered in a Rolling Stone article not a newspaper column. Another problem is Gonzo journalism, like the era it sprang from, is no longer in vogue with society. This is a hard thing for me to admit or even to print. I don't claim to be a Thompson fanatic since I was a kid-I saw the movie Where the Buffalo Roam with Bill Murray and decided I had to find out more about this guy. But at the same time I admire his work and style so to say that Gonzo is no longer needed or is no longer an important or needed type of reporting needs some expla- nation. In Generatiows of Swine, Thompson does what he does best, showing his insight to the people of the 80's. And I think in many instances and de- scriptions he is on the mark and is the same Thompson w h o covered Watergate so brilliantly. But Iran/Contra was not Watergate. I think he overlooks the fact that the people he is calling swine are in fact generaly believed to be true swine. When he compares Ronald Reagan to King Lear, and says that not even G. Gordon Liddy could sell arms to the Iranians he over- looks the fact that in this generation of swine many people would agree with him, but 011ie North is still a hero. Thompson has no real effect when he says that Ed Meese proves that "all swine are equal • • • • • • • • • • • • • • % • • • Top Ten Presidential • • • • Candidates and their • • • slogans. • • .• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • $ • • •4) Quadify - Now we cait • • • spell his name. ? • • • • •• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ; • 5) Tim and Paul - You • don't think they're • going to let us do this • • • • next term. ? • • • % • • • • • • • • • • • • • • t • • • •• 6) Pinochet - He sup- ports democracy and • has experience. ? • • • • • •• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • but some swine are more equal than others." He is correct, but nobody seems to care. Gonzo, in Generation of Swine has lost what Thompson himself called in Campaign Trail, the edge. Thompson is no longer on the edge. In fact, it's hard to say if his writing is still of any Gonzo value. Whether that is just Thompson or Gonzo Journalism or Society in general is hard to say. I think it may be a combination of society and Thompson. Thompson himself seems to lack anything impor- tant to say. When he blasts Meese, North, Bakker, and Reagan for being swine he overlooks the fact that in a gen- eration of swine where being a pig is not only admirable but profitable criticizing it as such is sadly outdated and ineffective. He however, seems to have a strong, almost counter culture following, but from the parts of it I've seen it's for the wrong reasons. Mainly his in- volvement and openness with drugs, which is a shame because the whole point of his writing is being overlooked. The beauty of Thompson at his peak was the fact that you knew what he was thinking and how it felt to be there in the midst of it all. At its peak, Gonzo made Thompson vulner- able to his readers. It was a -re- freshing and a respected change. .Today Thompson is not that vibrant. If you are a Thompson fan, the boa is worthbuying, but wait until the paperback edition. It is a vast improvement from The Curse of Lono, his last book, but a far cr), from The Great Shark Hunt.- The Gonzo Papers Vol. 1.

Prlua October 20, 1988 ? Simple Pleasures ? The CAMPUS ? Page 13 Pleasure Postulation: Decision '88 by Paul Ewing SP Editor It was just before dawn on New Year's Day, I was sitting with Ben and Pat inside the Dempsy's on Columbia Drive. I did not really like the place . We used to hang out there a lot during high school; but that was nearly 3 years ago, and the food still was not very good. At 6:30 a.m. on New Year's Day there arc not many options for three tired, drunk and hungry people. So Dempsey's did not seem so bad--besides there were a lot of stranger looking people there than us. It had been a weird night. I think it had something to do with infinity second. The waitress brought some coffee and news. We got change for the boothside Juke box. We had enough money for 10 songs. I did not help in selecting any, I wanted to hear the hope of The Grateful Dead New Year's Eve Show we made. I think they heard four of five songs selected when the waitress came to take our orders. Nobody could decide. She re- filled the coffees and said she would be back. She never re- turned. She went off duty. The conversation was not very coherent. Ben was trying to decide what to eat; Pat want- ed to pick the last five songs and could not decide between Randy Travis or George Michael; and I was babbling some rhetoric about a theme for the New Year '86 was very bad. '87 was a vast improvement but I felt for '88 to really pick things up it needed a theme. From there things get totally jumbled. Fatigue set in. Finally, out of some dark recess in my mind it hit. Decision. I screamed it "Decision! Make a goddamned Decision. Decision '88 buddy." Everybody stopped. Except for our new waitress she took our orders. I had done it. A theme for the New Year: "Decision '88". It became more than a NBC News slogan. It was real." For the first few weeks it was a reality. It be- came a lifestyle. A raison-detre if you will. Everything had to be done. It seemed important than that we lay procrastination to waste. No more putting off decisions. They had to be made, and made swiftly and silently. No more sitting around like a would be deadbeat. Claudios must die-- kill the son of a bitch. Well, somewhere in mid February, in a snow storm I think Decision '88 died. I al- ways thought that it would, but I hoped it wouldn't. There have been times throughout the year when I have said to myself: Decision '88. And I made the choral. It usually turned out for the better. But there have been those things that I've put off-- and some still haven't been tak- en care of. So be it. I guess putting it off was in its own way deciding a fate. But now the final Decision '88 is sitting in front of me. And I can't put it off. Friday I received my official Absentee Ballot for Lancaster City and county PA. Its lying in front of me now. Next to my voter registration card--it has a covered wagon in a heart on it; my lit- tle red Rose-sent to me by my state Representative in honor of my registration-is there, and so is a large on Coke. It's m y third. I cannot think of any other way to do this, Get a good buzz and make my x's. I'm listening to that Grate- ful Dead New Year's tape. In- spiration; I hope. The ballot itself is incredi- bly strange. There are 5 parties listed on the straight ticket sec- tion that I've no idea who or what they are. I've never even heard of the new Alliance party before-probably a strange right wig fanatical religious sect. But Lenora B. Fulani is on the bal- lot for president along with Ron Paul, the Libertanan candidate. Eugene McCarthy is the Con- sumer candidate. I think he is the same person. The ballot is so damn omi- nous I don't know why. I'd like to be a smart-ass and vote for McCarthy or even Randee of the Redwoods, but it's too impor- tant a decision. I'm not a card carrying Dukakis supporter-and don't even like him very much; but the idea of President Bush is too repugnant-even for me. Even without Quayle I can't justify to myself, or to any future genera- tions of a vote for Bush. Any- body who respects Ed Meese I don't know it scares me. I have to vote in secret. I locked my door. I didn't know anything about Attorney General or State Senator; I voted anyway. I've never voted before. It was a letdown. I can't tell if its because I'm not in the polling booth or if its the choice. It's always seemed to me that voting was a duty, a privilege and an honor, but I never expected that I wouldn't have anyone to vote for. It doesn't seem right in the American of the 80's. Well, I mailed my ballot back to Lancaster today. It will cost .25. A poll tax of sorts. I think I enclosed a letter com- plaining about my constitution- al rights being infringed upon. And a feeling hit me as I was walking away from the mail slot in the P.O. I had finally done it. I voted. I could no longer change my vote. For me the 88 election is now over. I think the feeling was one of relief. abinet Campus Center-tainment FRIDAY OCTOBER 21, 1988 THE ASTONISHING NEAL Hypnotist gctC) Pil CC IL©DDY WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 26, 1988 9:00 PM IN SHAFFER AUDITORIUM ADMISSION $1.00 Sponsored by the CC Cabinet UP COMING EVENTS OCT. 28 MCKINLEY'S: DAVE RUDOLF, MUSIGIAN OCT. 29 SATURDAY NIGHT LIFE : HALLOWEEN HORROR FEST; HORROR FLICKS GALORE Nov. 2 ?

Life Fails Ethics Code by Gillian Thomas SP Writer This summer, around July, • I suppose, I received in my mailbox, my roommate assign- ment. Much to my surprise, I found that I had been assigned 3 roomies instead of the expected one. Here is the story: I arrived on the 3rd or whenever, to discover that I was first. (How special!) I unloaded and brought everything up to our quad. -a word of explana- tion- only 3 freshman women's quads on the ENTIRE CAM- PUS. Oh, boy. That's when it all started. Roomie #1 arrived with a trunk you could pack a Yugo into. And double my junk. (Almost) It was fun making room for the other two. Roomie #2 arrived with her group, deposited stuff and created a larger mess- along with mine and #1's. Later, #3 arrived. Only to leave. Come back later. Then leave again. And come back...myself, #1 and #2 were all a bit worried, to say the least. Well, we got unpacked. We settled in, the stage crew left, and we went out to find a rug. We set up our kitchen -- 1 microwave, 1 refrigerator, 1 toaster oven, 3 hot pots, and a one cup coffee maker (and food supplies). It was after this that things began to happen. About once a month, (regularly, almost to the second, now.) an ominous cloud forms around our room and you don't breath for fear your head will be bitten off by some PMS-ridden It's very scary, believe me. Two girls a room is frightening. Imagine 4. Freddie and we get along. We have already had our fight. I still don't know what it was about, but we had it, and I think we get along better now. (I think) Well, anyway, (let me catch my breath) Now we have disappearing food. No one ate it, but its not there! (It can walk! It's a miracle!) Pop Tarts and cookies especially!! I don't know whyyyyyyyy! Oh well. We now buy our own groceries, and we are rationed to one bagel a day. Goofy, huh. A final word. Miscella- neous. 1) We have blown the cir- cuit in our room and 1/2 the bathroom about 6 times. (pretty cool) 2) I hate diet coke, and that's all they buy. Urg. 3) Where does all the trash come from? 4) They make their beds. They do this to make me look like a slob. (I'm not denying that I am-but it's the principle of the thing.) 5) I hope I have a place to stay if they do publish this. 6) Stay tuned for "Roomie response" from #1, 2, and 3, if I can coerce them into it.

TIMELORDS "Doc- torin' The Tardis" (12") In England, the odds, were stacked in favor of this single's success. The Timelords, you see, are really the Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu, a great but somewhat notorious group that took some samples--rather lengthy ones--of some great songs and made them into great dance singles of a different kind (simply a logical extension of what's acceptable in the hip hop community). They became notorious when Abba's publishers ordered them to stop using "Dancing Queen," at once ruining a promising start for the band and also ensuring attention will be rivetted on later efforts. But perhaps even more impor- tantly, "Doctorin' The Tardis" is a tribute to the Dr. Who T V show, a national obsession of England's for 20 years or so. But the JAMs have never re- leased a record in the U.S. be- fore, and Dr. Who is only something of a cult item on these shores, so U.S. success will be much more of an uphill battle. But don't bet against it, for "Doctorin' The Tardis" is a mighty catchy number, a rewrite of Gary Glitter's "Rock And Roll Pt. 1" (he's not too pleased about it) with "Dr. Who" chant- ed instead, and it's eminently dancebble. Can to quote odds? LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO Journey Of Dreams: Everyone should recognize this ten man acappella group from South Africa who backed Paul Simon on his de- servedly hailed Graceland album and tour (or perhaps you recog- nized their voices on the short- lived 7-Up commercial they did- one of the best uses of a pop act in a commercial to date!) Led by Joseph Shababala, this vocal harmony group sings popular songs, traditional hymns, and proverbial tales, primarily in their native Zulu tongue but with a few English verses slipped in (subtitles and syn- opses of each song's message are provided in English), and even offer a beautiful version of "Amazing Grace." Their radiant voices and lush, choral har- monies have a soothing effect on the body and soul, the closest known comparison being a church choir. Ladysmith has an austere solemnity about them, and an unadorned style (with oc- casional percussive beats) where their voices are enough to evoke remarkable power and beauty. Russ Titleman produces here and leaves well enough alone, keep- ing alive the spirit of their per- formances without forcing them to adapt their style to suit Western audiences. Amen. More next week. Same T BILLY B R A G G Workers Playtime: Despite several changes in his sound, pop's most outspoken and stri- dent soldier of conscience hasn't made himself any more accessi- ble with this album. Workers Playtime is a much more somber record than we'd expect- ed: the songs are generally slow ballads with spare instrumenta- tion that reflects Bragg's deeper lyrical immersions into the darker side of love and, to a lesser extent, political topics (the ratio is three political to eight love songs). His sense of humor is still in evidence--try "Between Marx and marzipan in the dictionary/There was Mary"— but this record is so sparse and mournful that it almost has to be treated like a folk album. The only track that even ap- proaches conventional rock is "Life With The Lions," which has a lopping country beat. Yes, there are drums on this LP- -on some tracks he uses as many as eight musicians, but this al- bum still feels as starkly tense as his earliest records: the gen- tly-strummed guitar, beerhall piano, distant strings and brass only make the sound more sparse. And as for personal in- trospection on his place within pop community: "Mixing pop and politics he asks me what the use is/1 offer him embarrassment and my usual excuses. You're a brave one, Billy. Cheers. BIG AUDIO DY- NAMITE Tighten Up Vol. 88: As much as we've loved their singles, Big Audio Dynamite has often worked bet- ter as a concept than a recording outfit; while the idea of creating a truly multi-media band has enormous possibilities, it seemed that a lot was lost in translation. Mick Jones has had a tendency to add at least twice as many beats-per-minute as necessary, and the constant voice-overs and extraneous noises sometimes detracted from the actual songs. Happily, there's been some paring down in the year-and-a-half since the last B.A.D. LP, and this is easily their most mature and consistent effort to date. While all of the above elements are still present, they're used spar- ingly and thus more effectively, allowing the songs to shine through. Jones has always had a penchant for sentimental-sound- ing melodies, and here they combine with the ricochetting beat box, rockabilly guitar and lilting synth-lines to greater ef- fect than ever before. The unifying thread is Jones' sneer- ing, adenoidal voice, which, more than ten years on, still sends chills. B.A.D.'s apparent goal of pairing beat box 脠 rhythms with rock via a quick- cut audio montage approach is hit or miss, but when they hit the mark, they're truly revolu- tionary. Time.

Sports ? The CAMPUS ? Page 17 ,3tEtliOrf 3voQUaElQo , Sean Ward by Steve Treu Sports Writer All right, let's get it out in the open. Placekickers are eccentric football players. They wear a different style of shoe on each foot, or no shoes at all. They wear only one bar for a facemask. They maintain silly superstitions and rituals. They have no special diet. They don't lift weights. They play about 20 seconds per game. They don't block, tackle, throw, or sweat. Scan Ward is your typical eccentric kicker, and then some. He kicks left-footed. But put all that aside for a minute. Let's talk some more truths about kickers. They have the best concentration of any player. They withstand immense pressure. They are the most skilled player. The most crucial. A good team is a mediocre team without a good kicker. A great team is merely a good team without one. Again, all these truths apply to Sean Ward. And thanks to Sean, the Gators are not merely a good team. "You can always count on Wardy," junior defensive end Tom Gebhardt said. "He goes out, gives 100%, and gets the job done." Ever since he began playing football in the fourth grade, Ward has been getting the job done. As an eight year old tail- back, he was an MVP in the Mighty Midget League. In the sixth grade, the Junior High needed a kicker, and Sean took over. Later, when the Junior Varsity needed a long snapper for punts, Ward filled the void. By being such a role player he learned the importance of devo- tion to the team. "My only goals have been to play consistently and help the team," Ward said. "If I can do that and we win, then I have been successful." Later , during his years on the Bethel Park High School Varsity, Ward was restored to full-time kicking duties. Blessed with powerful legs, the 5' 9" , 185 pound Ward never had problems with distance on kicks. And being a member of the soccer team really helped him with his accuracy. Since distance and accuracy are rather important criteria for a good kicker, he established himself as a premier High School kicker in his area. Ward's ability caught then- Gator coach Rick Creehan's eye. Creehan's recruiting, along with the "very nice people" that Sean met when he visited the campus, were key factors in getting him to come to Allegheny. At Allegheny, Ward soon became the regular kicker and is on his way to his fourth varsity letter. His flawless extra point attempts and 77% field goal percentage enabled him to earn status on the first-team All- Conference team. He mixes vi- sualization techniques with his athletic prowess to achieve his utmost kicking potential. "I try to stay calm and relaxed and keep my mind focused on the game," Ward said."When it comes time for me to play, I have already made the kick in my head." Though his personal suc- cess has been great, Ward's fa- vorite game was last year's playoff (a game in which he booted a 42 yarder). "I've never seen a game played so evenly and so well." He would like to see the Gators play that well the rest of the way this year and take the NCAC Championship again. "To repeat a Champs in this conference is tough," said Ward. "But I know that we can do it." Ideally, Ward would like to win the Championship with a 60 yard field goal, right after running back Dave Brown car- ries to become the first ever 1,000 yard rusher in Allegheny history, but just winning it all is their main goal. In the meantime, Ward is balancing his football regimen with a healthy social life and academic success. "Contrary to popular belief I have had a date at Allegheny," he proclaimed. "Problem is, the more people I meet, the more I like my dog." As far as the scholastic achievement goes, this Alden Scholar, who enjoys reading, writing and arithmetic, hopes to take his Economics degree to Pitt and work towards an MBA in Health Administration. The all-around competence of Ward does not go unnoticed by teammates. "Being a Fresh- man, I see Wardy as a perfect role model for younger players," middle linebacker Mike Collitt exhorted. "I admire his attitudes, kindness toward others and his dedication to academics. I hope to be able to achieve as much as Sean." Through his life Ward has never worried much about per- sonal achievement, and he won't start worrying anytime soon. "If you have faith in yourself and know that you've done your best, then things will take care of themselves." The Senior Spotlight is chosen each week by the Sports Staff on the basis of athletic, academic, and extra-curricular performance. I■1 MN IMMO MIE INN ? IMMI ? MI= MEM NMI MEM ? MIMI IN= I ■ 1 ?

I surely will." So stated Head Soccer Coach Marty Goldberg about the Gators' 3-1 victory over Mt. Union last Wednesday. Fat snowflakes whipped by a cold wind covered Robertscm Field, forcing the men to abandon their ball-control offense in favor of a kick-and-run style. "The weather was absolute- ly diabolical, but the guys en- joyed themselves. We had to change from an all-white to a black and white ball because the players could not see it. The refs even asked if we had a fluores- cent ball." Mt. Union took the lead 1-0 on a penalty kick, but the Gators quickly struck back to tie the score. Scott Falso sent a pass into the corner to Mario Parreaguirre, who put it past the Mt. Union goalie. The first half ended in a 1-1 deadlock. The blue and gold took control in the second half when Shawn Allen deposited a penalty kick in the back of the net for the game-winner. The Gators sealed the victory on a goal by John Dinkins. Mike Madonia chipped a ball into the middle of the box, where Dinkins shot and scored. Freshman Mark Emerson started in goal for Allegheny and faced fourteen shots. Goldberg stated "It was an excellent game for us. We took it to them for most of the game." On Saturday the men trav- elled to Ohio Wesleyan to take on the nations number two ranked Battling Bishops. The Gators played well, but dropped at 4-0 decision. The Gators were able to hold Ohio Wesleyan to a 0-0 tie at halftime, but could not hang on as the Bishops pulled away. Goldberg credited keeper Rob Stowell with a good perfor-' mance. Stowell faced forty-two shots, recording twenty-seven saves. by Ellen Kemp Sports Writer The Edinboro University cross country team hosted Northwest Pennsylvania's Col- legiate Championship Saturday, racing to a 15-point win over Allegheny's 75. Mercyhurst finished at 105, and Gannon with 128. The host team, the two-time defending Division II national champs, swept the first seven individual places. The Gators used this opportunity as their own cham- pionship meet for those not competing in the post-season NCAC Conference or NCAA Midwest Regional. This meet was the focal point of the sea- son's end for the special varsity team that Coach Yuhasz entered. Sean Brady led the Gators with a 12th place time of 36:32. Fellow senior Dave Harston placed 14th at 37:00, followed by sophomore John Rittner (37:24) and senior Tim Haas (37:43). "All the seniors ran exceptionally well," commented Coach Goldberg explained "OWU is a Division I caliber team. No Division III team at- tacks like they do. They con- stantly attacked, and they at- tacked from every position on the field. They were playing at a speed about two or three notches above us. They are as good a team as I have ever seen in Di- vision III." Goldberg mentioned as an indication of Ohio Wes- leyan's quality that their All- American striker from last year was drafted by the now-defunct Cleveland Force of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL). "We played pretty well; it was a very good experience for us to play against a team this talented," he added. With five games remaining, the team's record stands at 7-7-1, 1-3 in conference play. Goldberg stated the team hopes to win its remaining games, and feels this is a realistic goal. The last home matches of the season are Saturday at 2:30 p.m. against conference foe Kenyon College, and Monday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. against Pitt-Bradtbrd. Yuhasz. "Sean, Dave, and, Tim really pushed it out. Also, John Rittner ran 3rd man and turned in a fine performance." Jon Woodman came in at 38:23, just one second ahead of teammate Dave Bergh. Jeff Stone and Scott Young com- pleted the 10 kilometer race as the 20th and 23rd men, respec- tively. Yuhasz noted, "The team declared as out varsity in this meet did a very fine job competing against Mercyhurst and Gannon." The regular varsity team ran the meet in a pack as a workout. Rick Hughes, Jim Fye, Greg Haas, Jeff Lowenguth, Tim Cardwell, Jeff Wuchenich, Todd Jones, and Dan Loughran all participated at Edinboro. Ac- cording to Yuhasz, "Our regular varsity men had fun running to- gether in a pack. This race was a good mental break from the stress of competition." The Gator harriers are off this week as they continue in- tense preparation for the NCAC Championship meet next Satur- day. Soccer Splits A Pair PIZZA HUT DELIVERS TO ALLEGHENY CAMPUS!

Regard- less of how each person did, they should be proud that they had even made it that far. To participate in the Olympics is a dream for many of us. I know that as I watched I could not help but think how awesome it would be to be out there competing with the top amateur athletes (unless of course you play tennis which means you would be competing against professionals) in the world. The '88 games proved to be special for the Am eric an participants as they amassed 94 medals. Their gold medal total of 36 was the most the USA has picked up in twenty years (at Mexico City in '68 the USA picked up 45 golds). Yes, there were some lows for our American athletes. For instance, the Men's Basketball loss to the Soviet Union in semi-final action was a disap- pointment. However, they did bounce back to win the bronze medal. Boxer Roy Jones, Jr. was robbed of a gold medal that he truly deserved. Jones, who had out-boxed Korean Park Si-hun stared in disbelief as the ring judge raised Si-hun's hand in victory. Jones was so devastat- ed by this decision that he may not become a professional box- er. After the match, the result- ing controversy forced IOC President Juan Samaranch to re- consider boxing as an Olympic sport. The Men's heartbreaking overtime loss in water polo may be the most devastating of the games. These men were s o close to winning it all, but one moment, one second can turn a dream into a nightmare. Despite the lows there were many highs for the American Olympians. Seventeen year old Janet Evans made a huge splash as she won three gold medals in swimming. She won the 400 individual medley, the 400 free style, and the 800 free style. We should be seeing her face on the Wheaties boxes very soon.

Breaking a 36 year drought in the high jump was Louise Ritter who won the gold medal for the USA. Jackie Joyner-Kersee and her sister-in-law Florence Grif- fith Joyner ran away from the packs in the Track and Field events. Joyner-Kersee made a strong argument that she is the best woman athlete in the world as she won the seven-sports-in- one heptathlon. Griffith Joyner had an unbelievable Olympics, picking up three gold medals. She won gold in the 4x100 relay, the 100 meters and the 200 meters. She broke the world record in the 200 twice in the same day. Greg Louganis has now laid his claim to being the best diver in history. Louganis came back from a near tragedy in the springboard (he hit his head on the board and had to get four stitches), to win both the springboard and the platform diving events. He had done this same feat in 1984 and so be- came the first male diver to ever repeat as the gold medal winner in both areas. Carl Lewis may be some- what cocky, but he nearly re- peated his '84 Olympic domina- tion in track and field. Lewis, who had won four gold medals in '84, picked two golds and one silver in '88. Sure, people may think it was cheap that he got the gold because Canadian Ben Johnson was disqualified when he failed drug tests. However, Lewis deserved the gold in my opinion. He has trained for years and years to become the "Fastest Man" in the world-- without any help from illegal substances--that in my eyes does not lessen his gold, b u t highlights it. By winning the gold medal in the long jump, Lewis put himself in the Olympic History books as the first repeat gold medalist. He picked up his sil- ver in the 200 meters. Lewis probably would have won a third gold in the 4x100 relay, but the team was disqualified in the heats when Lee McNeil ran out of the exchange zone. Greg Barton beat Australia's Grant Davies by .005 of a sec- ond to win the gold in Kayak- ing. He also teamed with Nor- man Bellingham to win the Two-Man kayaking event. The Women's Basketball Team passed their way to a 77- 70 victory in the gold medal game against Yugoslavia. Twenty-six year old Ann Dono- van came off the bench to ignite the USA to their win. This was Donovan's third Olympics as a basketball participant. In exhibition baseball the USA team got a gutsy perfor- mance from pitcher Jim Abbott. Abbott, who was born without a right hand, picked up the win on the mound for the USA in the gold medal game against Japan. Speaking of exhibition sports reminds me of what I feel was the most memorable of our American moments. Arlene Limas won the gold medal in exhibition welterweight tae- kwon-do. When the American flag was being raised the record- ed version of the Star Spangled Banner did not start. Limas, standing on the platform began singing the National Anthem, her mother joined in this emo- tional moment as did others who were either watching at the gym or on TV. For me, that is what the Olympics is all about. Athletes giving their best, striving for goals they have set for them- selves, and if they do reach their goal, they have enough pride in themselves to share their joy and emotions with all of us who may never have that moment. The '88 Olympics brought out the best in our American athletes. These men and women gave it all they had. They pressed themselves to their lim- its in order to reach their goals and fulfill their dreams. And though many of the athletes fell short of their goals, they should live with the knowledge that they gave it their all--they were the best they could be. They took advantage of the moment they were given and competed the best they could. As Whitney Houston sings, "Give me one moment in time/ When I'm more than I thought I could be./ When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away/ And the answers are all, up to me. / Give me one moment in time/ When I'm racing with destiny. / Then in that one mo- ment of time/ I will feel, I will feel, eternity." by Jeff Wuchenich Sports Co-Editor Continuing their search for an NCAC Conference title, the women's volleyball team road- tripped to Ohio for four match- es: three conference opponents-- Denison, Ohio Wesleyan, and Kenyon-- plus Ohio Dominican University. The Gators won three of the four to bump their record to 30-7. Denison fell as the first victim on Friday evening 15-2, 15-12, quickly followed by Ohio Wesleyan 15-9, 15-6. Carol Frederick led the way for the women with twenty-three kills. Head coach Bridget Sheehan said "It was a good opportunity to use my freshmen. Both matches were low-key, but it was good competition for the younger players and they did very well. They have been working very hard in practice." Saturday, the women trav- elled to Gambier to meet Keny- on and Ohio Dominican. Keny- on, currently ranked ninth, split with the Gators in their two meetings this season. Kenyon prevailed on their home court, 15-12, 8-15, and 15-12. Sheehan stated the Gators did not play to the best of their ability in the match. "We weren't hitting or blocking. We really had a problem putting power behind the ball; our of- fense has been creative, but we are not getting the power. Our intensity level isn't as high as it could be." Barb Pendleton smashed sixteen kills to lead the offense; Paula Wasikowski dug seven- teen balls in the backcourt and Molly Dietz stuffed twelve blocks back to Kenyon to an- chor the defense, which played consistently all weekend. The team bounced back to take the final match from Ohio Dominican 15-10, 15-11. The coach added "Our blocking im- proved (in the last match). We played more aggressively and more creatively on offense." Sheehan credited several players with excellent perfor- mances. "We have a more bal- anced offense now. Our younger hitters, Julie Bradley and Barb Pendleton, are coming on stronger every match. Paula did a great job in the backcourt. She has developed into an extremely effective backcourt hitter. Jamie Smartz had a great weekend serving. We scored thirty points out of a possible thirty-six times she served." The Gators continue their busy schedule with home matches today and Saturday. At 6:30 tonight, Westminster and Gannon arrive for a tri-match; at 3:00 pm Saturday, Walsh College, an NAIA top 10 team, faces the blue and gold. Sheehan expressed her wish for fan support as the team heads down the home stretch towards the NCAC Tournament and NCAA play. "The home crowd support really helps give us that extra push and motivation to play well." FOOTBALL LOSES continued from page 20 Mike Parker who had 13 tackles including two sacks and two stops for losses. LeCarte also helped out the defensive effort with his inter- ception. He returned a kickoff for 59 yards. The Gators' record no w stands at 4-2. The two losses may play a large part in deciding a post season bid for the Gator squad. However, the Gators hold a 3-0 record in the NCAC and have an excellent shot to go undefeated for the second season in a row in the Conference. The Gators will travel to Gambier, Ohio this weekend to take on .Conference foe Kenyon. The Olympics Georgeanne Morin shakes and bakes an opponent Public Affairs Photo SPORTS THE CAMPUS Thursday, October 20, 1988 Booters Win Two More by Daniel Loughran Sports Writer Eight different players made at least eight sets of parents happy as Allegheny trounced NCAC conference foe Wooster, 8-1 in front of a large Parents' Weekend crowd at Robertson Field Saturday. Co-captain Nellie Springer started the eight-goal assault when a corner kick at Wooster's end gave Kristen Kleber an op- portunity for the assist. Carolyn Holtschlag fol- lowed Springer's goal, before senior co-captain Georgeanne Morin, junior Katie West, Linda Ruffos, Erin Dwyer, Alison Glover, and Steffanie DeConge- lio put the game out of reach for the Gators. "The team is playing really well right now," said Head Coach John Wilcher. "It's going to take an excellent team to beat us right now." Wilcher said that he was glad to see that the first two goals came as a result of corner kicks. "We had been working on defending corner kicks all week," he said, "but if you practice de- fending against them, you sort of learn how to score them too." The only Gators to score twice were Denise Petrossi, who had two assists, Springer, who assisted West's goal, and Allison Glover, who also assisted Morin's goal. The win puts the Gators at 11-3 on the season, and solidi- fies their number eight ranking in Division III soccer. Last Tuesday the Gators took on Mercyhurst, an 11 th- ranked, undefeated team in Divi- sion II upon entering the game. In strong gusts of wind and pe- riods of heavy snow, the Gators dealt Mercyhurst their first loss of the season in a crushing 6-2 decision. Not only had Mercyhurst been undefeated, but their stingy defense had allowed only 2 goals all season before enduring their spanking at Robertson Field. Head Coach John Wilcher said that he knew Mercyhurst would be a tough opponent, but he believed his team could win. "We don't play games if we think we can't win them," he Said. Wilcher was somewhat concerned with the fact that his team was playing such a tough opponent only three days after their inspirational win over Ohio Wesleyan University, he said. But instead of being over- come with fatigue, his players used their momentum from their previous win, and rose to the occasion. Co-captain Nellie Springer started things off for the Gators in usual fashion, when her All- American teammate and co-cap- tain Georgeanne Morin assisted the game's first goal. Carolyn Holtschlag's goal followed with Kristen . Kleber assisting as the Gators took a 2- 0 halftime lead. Mercyhurst showed why they were ranked 11th in Divi- sion II when they fought back and scored the next two goals. But then it was all Allegheny. Katie West, Springer, Alison Glover, and Denise Petrossi iced the game, with Carolyn Holtschlag assist- ing West's goal, and Morin as- sisting Springer's second goal. Glover's and Petrossi's goals were unassisted. This week, Allegheny will face Alfred, a team ranked in the top twenty in Division III, be- fore preparing for NCAC conference games against Keny- on, Denison, and Oberlin over the next two weeks. Gators Fall To John Carroll Scott Ferraro drills John Carroll quarterback Kevin Krueger Peter Foehl Photo by Shelley Brown Sports Co-Editor John Carroll University used seven Allegheny turnovers (four interceptions and three fumbles) to spark them to a 33- 14 win over the (Gators) foot- ball team this past Saturday. The Gators' loss at home was the first in two years at Robertson Field during the regular season. Turnovers deep in Gator territory turned into 30 of John Carroll's 33 points. The longest drive John Carroll had to put together was 36 yards. They scored on drives of nine, 12, 13, 22, 29, and 36 yards. Sparking John Carroll's of- fense were running back Steve Prelock and kicker Steven Graeca. Prelock scored on runs of three and 13 yards. He also ac- cumulated 112 of John Carroll's 132 total rushing yards. Graeca ripped field goals of 28 (twice), 30, and 34 yards, while connecting on three PAT's. Gracca's 15 points alone bettered Allegheny's total point production. The remaining John Carroll touchdown was credited to Tom Curtis who caught an 11 yard TD pass from Kevin Krueger. The Gators only hit paydirt twice. Junior tailback Dave Brown registered his ninth and tenth TD's of the season as he scored from one and seven yards out. The first Gator touchdown was set-up by sophomore safety Dave LaCarte's interception. Following the theft by LaCarte, the Gators marched 67 yards on 14 plays. Brown dove in from one and senior kicker Sean Ward added the PAT to give the Gators their only points in the first half. Second half scoring was also minimal for the Gators as they managed only one TD. A 12-play, 60 yard drive capped by Brown's seven yard run and Ward's second PAT accounted for the Gators' only points in the second half. Offensively, the Gators, who were held to only 223 total offensive yards, were led by Brown who ended the day with two TD's and 78 yards on 19 carries. Brown continues to lead the running game for the Gators. In six games Brown has amassed 617 yards on 114 attempts for an average of 102.8 yards per game. Sophomore running back Gerry O'Brien also helped out the offense, gaining 39 yards on the ground. Junior quarterback John Logue and backup QB Jeff Filkovski each completed five passes for a combined 82 yards. The Gator defense, even though John Carroll's 33 points were the most given up this year, played a solid game, as they held John Carroll to 237 yards total offense. The defense was led by se- nior All-American noseguard continued on page 19
