Opinion PAGE 2

Sig Eps, Thetas Apologize E xp la in P u n is h m e n tsLawrence Community,

We, the brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity and the sisters of Kappa Alpha Theta. sincerely apologize for the events which took place at our party Saturday night. Though we did not specifically buy alcohol for our party, members of our organizations made it available to certain peo­ple. Also many members

of the Lawrence com m u­nity were able to bring in

alcohol, and we realize that we did not do nearly enough to prevent this from happening.

We would also like it to be know n that the

InterFraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council, and all the sororities and fraternities, including our own, in no way condone the breaking of these rules. In a hearing con­sisting of representatives of all of the sororities and fraternities on cam pus, we were found to be in violation of article 4, sec­tion A, and the part of s e c t ion B of the InterFraternity Council bylaws as stated in the Fraternity H a n d b o o k

which states that individ­uals of the chapter, not

the chapter as a whole, made alcohol available.

At the hearing the fol­lowing punishments were leveed against us:

Sigma Phi Epsilon:- No party permit will be

Issued to any member ol the fraternity for the re­

mainder of first term and for the first four weeks of

the 1989- 1990 school year.

- Rush probation for one year.

Kappa Alpha Theta:

- Each present member will be required to do four hours of community ser­vice by the end of second term for a total of at least 150 hours.

- Rush probation for oneyear.

- Required to develop a list of ways to prevent any possible problems from occurring at any future dry theme parties and distribute them to the other fraternities and sororities.

Both our organizations

realize that we are well deserving of these pun­ishments and will follow through with them to the

fullest. Once again, we are sincerely sorry. We only hope that the campus has not lost faith in Sigma Phi Epsilon and Kappa Alpha Theta as groups which can still benefit tlie Lawrence community as it has in numerous ways in

the past. Lastly, we hope you will not give up on dry

theme parties. There is so much good that can come from them, and with your support, they can be huge successes.

Sincerely,

President of Kappa Alpha Theta - Katie McCauley President of Sigma Phi Epsilon - Jeffrey Conta

P r e s id e n tsDear Lawrentians,

InterFraternity Council wish to express their sen­timents regarding the be­havior and actions of the members of Sigma Phi Epsilon and Kappa Alpha Theta while running their theme party, Bustin' Out, last Saturday night. Last year it was decided that all Rush Theme Parties would be ’dry', directly

stating that there would be no alcohol served or made available to those attending. The prevalence of alcohol at this party was ln direct violation of Panhel and IFC legisla­tion.

A hearing was held on

Tuesday night, at which the presidents of the two alleged organizations wero given the opportunity to present their case and the relevant circumstances. A large amount of the visible alcohol was supplied by many affiliated and non-

thee.And crown thy good With brotherhood.From sea to shining sea.

Raise your hand if you recognize that one. Right, its one of the more fa­mous, and in some peo-

-ple's opinions one of the most passionate, songs celebrating the United States of America. There are those who would pre­fer "America the Beauti­ful" for our national an­them to 'The Star Span­gled Banner." However, today, lt ls difficult to look at the words to

"America the Beautiful" without a trace of bitter irony.

O, beautiful, for spa­cious skies - The skies are

in the process of becoming more spacious than w e

could imagine, as the ozone layer slowly deteri­orates. It seems to be commonly accepted that

man-made pollutants are the cause of this deterio­ration. yet practically no attempt has been made to regulate this air pollu­

tion. Maybe it hasn't sunk

affiliated alumnae, in addition to individual

students. However, the blame has been placed

entirely upon the co­

sponsors of the function, due to their failure to control and prevent the influx of alcohol. The lack of organization within the

fraternity and sorority in

anticipating their infrac­tions is an embarrass­ment and has reflected poorly on the Greek System as a whole. We

would like to emphasize that the other Greek orga­nizations on campus are appalled at the careless­ness and do not condone this behavior in any way.

In order to represent the

disappointment of their

fellow Greeks, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Kappa Alpha

Theta have been Justly penalized for their actions. which w as decided in a Presidents' Council . The Sig Eps have been placed

in that should the ozone layer disappear entirely,

so would our atmosphere.

Aerosol cans and styro­foam cups aren't going to be of much use when that time rolls around.

For amber waves of grain - Many scientists predict, as a result of the depletion of the ozone layer, a forthcoming

greenhouse effect’ - In which the ozone will no longer adequately reflect the sun's radiation - will occur, and the earth will become progressively hotter. Some feel that the greenhouse effect was heralded this past sum ­mer by the drought.

For purple mountain majesties - In the moun­tain ranges lie some of the

best unspoiled natural landscapes left tn the na­tion. Yet. even they are

not immune to progress.' Strip mining invades the foothills, while demand for condominiums which overlook the purple

majesties increases and the need for hydroelectric power floods their valleys behind dams.

Across the fruited plain

America! America! God

shed his grace on thee -And then man sheds his beer bottles, industrial

wastes, cigarette butts, scrap metal, styrofoam cups, rubber tires and

candy wrappers on thee.

the term and a probation for a year, and all rights to party permits for the chapter and each individ­ual member have been re­voked for the duration of the term and a portion of

the fall term of 1989. The Thetas have also been placed on probation for one year and are required

to complete 150 hours of

service work by the end of w inter term . Th e

Panhellenic Council and InterFraternity Council wish to express the sever­

ity of these violations and

are confident that the up­coming theme parties will

benefit from the results of the first attempt.

In present political pri­

orities. environmental concerns fall pretty low on the list. Mike Dukakis has pledged a commit­ment to the environment, yet Boston Harbor is one of the most polluted in the country. George Bush claims to wish to con­tinue the R eag an administrations com ­mitment to the environ­

ment. yet I'm still waiting for the republicans to ad­mit that James Watt, the environmentalist's worst

nightmare, did anything wrong besides make a petty bigoted gaffe. Words are not e n o u g h . Immediate action is needed.

There ls more inherent beauty and emotion in the mournful howl of a coyote than in Mozart’s entire li­brary. More ln a single sunset over red sandstone pinnacles in the desert than in an entire museum

full of Monets.

Therefore, I urge you. go see the Grand Canyon, the deserts of Southern Utah,

the Cascade mountains,

the waterfalls in Yellow­

stone. the sea lions on the California coastline, and other places too numerous to list here. Go see what little is left of America the beautiful.

The most important and beguiling issue of this

year's Presidential c am ­paign is the state of the economy. This question

was directly addressed in the Vice-Presidential de­bate when Lloyd Bentsen was asked why Americans should give up all their

prosperity, low inflation, and low unemployment to

risk a Democratic admin­istration. Bentsen replied that if he were given $200 billion in hot checks, he.

too. would be able to cre­ate an illusion of prosper­ity as Reagan and Bush have.

While Dan Quayle be­lieves that foreign in­vestment in America is desirable, he may have a hard time convincing the2 million Americans who lost their Jobs to the trade

deficit. Quayle's pride in exporting Hondas to Japan is somewhat unset­tling: last year we ex­ported 2500 Hondas to Japan (part of a 5000 car total), while importing 2 million Japanese m ade

cars. While Honda facto­ries might produce Jobs in America, all the profits return to Japan and America not only loses control over its own des­tiny. but also the ability

to affect necessary domestic changes.

In order to make this country competitive on a world market and to ad­dress pressing domestic issues, such as drugs and AIDS, tough choices must

be made in the next presi­

dential administration.In M assachusetts ,

Dukakis has been able to raise the minimum wage above that set by the fed­eral government. The minimum wage has not increased a single cent since Reagan entered of­fice. George Bush opposes increases in the mini­m um wage, since this would, of course, place an unfair burden on big businesses.

Before Mike Dukakis b e c a m e go verno r , Massachusetts was losing jobs at a record rate; in the past three years more than one million jobs have been created. The Massachusetts Industrial Services, a program begun by Dukakis, has helped laid-off workers and be­ginning businesses.

Massachusetts now has

the lowest unemployment

rate of any industrial state in the nation.

The alarming rise in the number of homeless has

reached levels unprece­dented since the Great D e p r e s s i o n . T h i s Republican administra­tion has dodged responsi­bility using the excuse that government should not interfere with the lives of its peoples. Reagan and Bush obvi­ously have not grasped the

Sec page 4

The major threat to lib­

erty in the Western Hemisphere is Nicaragua, and the problem is that the rest of Central America and S o u t h America is in tunnoil and ready for the seeds of communist insurgencies. Thus, the United States must act, rather than re­main c o m p l a c e n t . However, the fundamen­tal obstacle to action ls that only two choices oi

foreign policy exist: the Contadora Peace Plan, which is a failure, and the Contra military force comprised of cronies of the old regime.

The Contras are not a fool-proof solution, yet

they are a means of main­taining United States in­volvement in Central America. In short, the Contras are a lesser of two evils, the greater of which is indecision which ls synonymous with isola­tionism. The Democratic controlled Congress has chosen to take action which the Reagan-Bush administration has cho- ser to take action which is the only feasible deci­sion until a better policy

is formulated.

The Contra support is founded on the premise that in order to keep Daniel Ortega at the bar­gaining table pressure must be applied. The

Congress knocks down this policy of action yet does not offer an alterna­tive plan of action, which results in no Central American policy at all.

For an insurgency to succeed years of fighting,

consistent intensity must be maintained. T h e Congress has not allowed this resulting in a feeling

across the country that the Reagan-Bush admin­istration has no Central American policy. This is symbolic of the division between the two branches of government. This divi­sion must be resolved by compromise; a new bi-

By My Lo Ly Lawrentian Staff

Friday October 21. 1988 Dr. Nese Bilgin, a research scientist from t h e Department of Molecular

Biology ln Uppsala, Sweden, continued the se­ries of lectures on Recent Advances in Biology with her talk “Even Ribosomes

Make Mistakes - T h e I n a c c u r a c y o fTranslation."

Bilgin spoke about ex­periments that have been done to measure the rate of protein synthesis and

calculate the error of the ribosome in the bacteria E. coli. Bilgin is studying the effects of various m u ­

tations on accuracy in the ribosomes. Ribosomes are

the machinery that pro­

duce protein in all cells.“When you make muta­

tions. you either make the ribosome more accurate

or more inaccurate." ex­plained Bilgin. Changes made in the RNA or pro­tein structure during the creation of mutations can cause errors in the read­ing or decoding of the nu­cleotide sequence of the

genes.One type of error that

can occur during transla­tion is error in m RNA

movement as a frameshift- where a part of the pro­tein product is missing.

The errors can occur as a

T h e C o m m itte e on Social Concerns purposes to enliven discussion and debate by presenting vari ous opinions on contem poranj issues. This week's submission w as written by Ixiurle Hines. Comprehensive Test Bans

ProThe concept of a unilat­

eral Comprehensive Test Ban (CTB) is nothing new.

For two decades, this idea has been tossed back and forth between the super­

powers; first b e tw e e n Kennedy and Khrushchev in 1963 and later by the

U.S., Great Britain, and the U .S .S .R . in 1977.

Unfortunately, the idea of a CTB was not given due consideration because of the cold war. The Soviet i n v a s i o n ofCzechoslovakia In 1968. for example, and the

change in U.S. adminis­tration halted its full de­velopment. In 1979 after

the Soviet invasion of

Afghanistan, the concept

was again abandoned for political reasons. Today the climate between the

U.S. and the Soviet Union is inarguably the best lt has ever been. Wc must

take advantage of this thaw and initiate a uni­lateral CTB.

There are several often

heard arguments against a CTB. and while they all make Interesting points. they become trivial after

one examines our nuclear

arsenals. Under the Reagan administration, the U.S. has experienced the “largest U.S. military buildup ever taken in peacetime." according to the Union of Concerned Scientists.

The size and strength of our arsenals are roughly

equal. In terms of the to­tal number of nuclear

warheads, the U.S. leads

the Soviet Union with

11.861 to 10.388. In terms

of megatonage (the explo­sive force of a nuclear bomb), the Soviet Union leads with a total of 5844

to 3114. Granted, there Is a significant difference between this latter figure, but in no way does this difference weaken our bargaining strength. The fact of the matter is. we

are currently in an equal position. Nuclear stabil­

ity has been achieved. Continued testing and de­velopment will only

destabilize the situation

and result in the elimina­tion of agreement on a CTB. We must initiate the CTB now.

“A CTB will weaken us militarily." This is an­

other misconception. What the critics fail to ad­dress in this position is

our current nuclear de­

structive capability.

Consider this - using our

current technology, just one-megaton nuclear ex­

result of mutations in the ribosome, tRNA, or other translation factors.

One of the processes that is used to reduce inaccu­racy is proofreading. This

process depends on a lot of energy from the bacteria

and it also decreases the

rate of protein synthesis or growth. Bacterias must

balance the accuracy of translation with energy

use to optimize growth.Many processes are be­

ing used to make the ribo­somes more accurate, but as Bilgin said, “no ribo­some is 100% accurate" at least at the present time.

Bilgin was on campus

for a week to collaborate with Dr. Beth De Stasio.

plosion would kill every­

one within 1.5 miles of

ground zero and wipe out

half of the population lo­

cated within 1.5 to 2.9 miles from ground zero.

Of those left surviving. 70 percent of the population within an 8.5 mile radius

would receive at least sec­ond and third degree

bums.

The last and most broad argument against a CTB is that it would hinder sci­entific advancement, not to mention the economy. There is something ex­tremely wrong with the opinion that our greatest

scientific achievements originate from projects designed to destroy life on

earth. In regard to de­fense. Its spending total in

1987 was $239 billion. Of that figure. $1.5 was used

in weapons research, de­

velopment. and testing. It would be this latter figure

that would disappear if a

unilateral CTB were Initi­ated.

Albert Einstein said, “To

the vi’ lage square we must

carry the facts of atomic

energy. From I here must

come America’s voice."

Although Wisconsin's state capital is often known as the party capi­

lice are warning potential revelers that this year is going to be different.

Due to lack of sponsor­

ship. the traditional closed avenue block party will not be held on State Street this October 31. All

city ordinances, including public consumption of al­cohol. will be in effect and enforced, said Madison police dep artm ent spokesman Mike Edler.

Edler said the event’s traditional sponsor, the Wisconsin S t u d e n t Association, decided not to renew its sponsorship for a variety of reasons. Among them were a con­cern about conflicts with

satellites. Success could mean putting “little nu­

clear power plants" into

Although a test ban had been the subject of ongo­ing discussion since the early 60 ’s, the U.S. sus­pended the talks in 1980. The U.S. has since re­sisted a ban, claiming that testing is necessary to ensure that weapons actually work, even dur­ing the period ln 1985 when the U SSR imple­mented a unilateral test ban. (According to President Reagan, this was merely a propaganda ploy.)

well.

Each test apparently costs 12 to 75 million dol­lars which. Elmer said, .. is no more than an ad­vancement ln the arms' race."

Y ou W on't F in d Rap, B utEiy Luke Lav In Lawrentian Staff

Record shopping at Lawrence is no simple task, but if one is a smart shopper there are good

buys and rare gems to be

found.Let us say, for example,

that you're looking for Debbie Gibson's album. Unfortunately, you don't hang out with the hip

crowd, so none of your

friends have it.You now have three

choices. You can walk down a few blocks to the New Frontier record store. This should always be your first step because you

can usually find what you're looking for at half the price of other stores.

In addition to carrying a

vast array of quality in­expensive albums, cds and cassettes; they rent out rock videos, sell “cool" T- shirts, and a number of live records that you will not find in o r d i n a r y record stores.

Choice number two is to avail y o u rse lf to Appleton's extraordinary public transportation

system and make your way to the Fox River Mall. Upon your arrival, you may note that they have better restaurants than record stores. In their fa­vor is the fact that there are music sources all in one location that carry a wide variety of cassettes

and CD's. However, they are all at ludicrously steep

Halloween has arrived once again, and with it come my memories of a

trick-or-treat horror that occurred ten years ago

Monday.After arriving home at

3 :30 p.m. from a high- pressured, rugged day in

the third grade, I had a lot of things on my mind:

What costume would I wear? W hich streets would Dad let me venture out onto during my mis­sion for free treats? How late could I stay out? Will I have time to memorize the multiplication tables for numbers 1-5?

I answered all but the

prices.

Your final choice is the Exclusive Co. (say it with me) at the Northland Mall. Exclusive prides it­self on having all the new

releases at reasonable prices. Most CD 's range between $9-$ 12. which is a lot better than the $11- $15 at their compei‘tors. Their prices on albums are equally low, and you'll

have at least twice the number of LF* titles to

choose from at Exclusive.

If you take a heed of this bargain-hunting advice, you should come out on top. unless you are look­ing for rap music, some­thing that Appleton resi­dents have apparently never heard.

Shameless Comedy Featured in Young Frankenstein

By David Kueter Lawrentian Staff

Hello, there! It’s Count Floyd again! Welcome to Monster Chiller H orro r Theater. We have quite a classic for you this week. Everybody knows Mary Shelley's classic story of the mad scientist and his creation in Frankenstein. Well. Mary's probably rolling over in her grave as we give you Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein.

The two starring roles are filled by two old friends of Mel's. Gene

Wilder and Marty Feld­man. Wilder plays Dr.

Frankenstein (pronounc­ed frank- un- SHTEEN). the descendent of the original Dr. Frankenstein (pronounced FRANK-en- stine). who moves to Transylvania to inhabit his grandfather's old cas­tle.

Feldman, with eyes that belong in a grade B horror

flick, plays W i l d e r ' s

faithful servant Igor (pronounced EYE-gor), the descendant of the original Dr. Frankenstein's faith­ful servant Igor (pro­nounced EE-gor).

The story is recogniz­ably similar to Shelley's original, yet Brooks

brings the same m anic touch to the old Franken­stein story that he did

when he massacred the western in Blazing Sad dies, desecrated Alfred Hitchcock in High A n x i ­ety and slaughtered sci­ence fiction in Spaceballs.

The comedy ranges from subtle to shamelessly slapstick ("Putting on the

Ritz" will never be the

same again). B r o o k s proves again that he will do a n y th in g for a laugh.

Some of the Jokes in the movie have been carbon-

dated and found to be from several centuriesB.C.

So. I hope you enjoy the film on this fine Hal­loween weekend, and be sure to tune in next week to Chiller Monster Horror T h e a t e r , when Count Floyd will be showing Sorority Babes at the Slimeball Bowl-o Rama!

Young Frankenstein will be showing in Youngchild 161 Friday and Saturday nights at 7:00, 9:00 and 11:00 p.m.

The controversy usually

revolves around passages

from Paul’s Epistle to the

Hebrews (e.g.. 4:15) -- Je­

sus as a man (fully h u ­

man, fully tempted), yet

divine, without sin.The scene usually in

question is the. now fa­

miliar, “dream sequence":

The rejection of the m es­

sianic role, the creation

and raising of a family,

the implied infidelity, etc.

But must this be inter­

preted as Jesus sinning,

even within his heart?

From where does this vi­

sion arise? And whose ls

the power which combats

it?

It takes no great stretch

of the mind to view the

dream as p laced within

the mind of Christ -- the

work of Satan, who lurks

beneath the guise of a

guardian angel. This may

not be as Intriguing as a

'88 B e s t Year for V o lleyb a llBy Cory Kadlec

Lawrentian Staff

In their final regular season home game, the women's volleyball team

won impressively over Midwest Conference op­ponent Beloit College. The win marked the fifth straight victory for the Vikes at Alexander Gym. The Vikings have put ev­erything together as of late, and have won nine of their past eleven games to improve their record to 12-12.

The Beloit match w as the first three - game vic­tory this year for Lawrence. Although it was a clean sweep, each of the games was very close. Lawrence won the first game 15-12. They held the

lead throughout by slim margins, but never relin­

quished it. The second game was closer, as the

Vikings squeaked by with a 15-13 score. As they trailed 10-11. Amy Cooper served for two points to

regain the lead. Beloit an- swered with two points

and had a 13-12 lead.

Lawrence stopped this

surge with a kill b y

sophomore Annie Brose. Mickey Slusher then

served for three straight points to end the game. The third game was no less exciting. Lawrence streaked to a 4-0 lead be­hind Cooper and Slusher’s serving. Then Beloit

managed to score ten straight points to take a

seemingly insurmount­able 10-4 lead. Lawrence broke the streak, but the score went to 7-14 in favor

of Beloit. Needing only

one point to win the

match. Beloit was stopped six straight time. Sandy

The Vikings now own a

2-1 conference record. Prior to this vear they had

never won two conference games in the same year. Next on the agenda for the Vikes may be the Midwest Conference playoffs. The top three teams advance to play Nov. 4-5 at Ripon. Lawrence can advance in either of two ways. They can beat St. Norbert s (Oct. 28) or. hope that Lake

Forest knocks off Ripon should the Vikes lose to­day. Head Coach Amy Proctor sum s up the team’s goal. “Regardless of what happens with Ripon and Uike Forest, we want to beat St. Norbert just for our own momentum."

On Monday (Oct. 24) the Vikings were eliminated from the Lake Michigan Conference playoffs. They beat Stiver Uike by scores of 15-10. 14-16. 15-5. but then were overwhelmed by Cardinal Stritch 15-7.15-7. The loss was a big

disappointment, but the team can now concentrate

on the M idw est Conference playoffs.

LUST E n d s R egu lar S e a so n Trick-or-TreatIt will be a busy week for

the women’s soccer team. The lady Vikings (7-5 overall, 2-3 Midwest Conference) travel to Ripon Wednesday for their final Midwest Conference game of the season. A Viking win would give them their best finish since the MC began

sponsoring women's soc­cer in 1986.

This weekend Lawrence hosts the eighth annual Wisconsin women’s state soccer tournament. Seven teams from around the state will compete for this year's title. Tournament action gets underway Saturday at 10 with the

last game scheduled to

start at 2 :30 p.m. The tournament concludes Sunday morning with the third place and consola­tion games at 10 a.m. and the championship game

slated for 12 noon.

Marquette University ls the defending women's state cham pion. The

Vikings open the tourna­

ment at 10 Saturday morning against UW-Eau

Claire. A Lawrence win would advance them to the semifinals at 2 :30 p.m. against the winner of the UW-La Crosse - UW- Stevens Point game.

“I expect Marquette to be the tournament favorite." Viking head coach Chuck

Coan said. “Marquette and La Crosse are proba­bly the two most talented teams in this year's tour­

nament. I think we have a real good shot at finishing

third and maybe an out­side chance at finishing second. We could make the finals if we play a real

solid game but I'd be sur­prised if we beat

Marquette. That would take an exceptionally

good game to beat them. A third-place finish for us would be nice, reaching the finals would be great and winning lt all would be absolutely fantastic."

The Vikings placed third ln last year's state tournament.

hitthe left sides of two more streets before I fullfilled

my dentist’s dream. As I walked up 111th Street

and approached a huge pine tree, terror struck.

From out behind the tree sprang two bona fide teenage bullies. (Just like

the ones I had heard sto­

ries about in lunch.) The one tore the bag out of my hand and they both fled. I began to run after them,

but after thinking of what actions I could take when

I caught up. I stopped and

cried.I took the loss hard. Not

only was I out my pride, a

week’s supply of candy,

but now I realized I was without my Snoopy pil­low case!

I never gave up my pur­

suit of the villains. I

posted signs on every tele­phone pole in the neigh­

borhood. The notices read: “LOST: About 35 Milky Ways, 30 Snickers. 30 Three Musketeers. 20

Nestle's Crunch , 20 Butterfingers. 15 Almond Joys. 10 Hershey Bars. 5

Mounds. 50 suckers, a pil­low case, and a silo of

candy com."

Much to my regret. I re­ceived no replies. I real­ized that by now the un­eaten candy would be too

stale, but I wanted my pil­low case back! I do have

ore message for the un­

sympathetic turkey: “I hope your denture grip’ fails."

R in g e l T ook MC S in g le s T it leeling match with the Ripon "Deadmen".

Doubles dynamo Kathy Harris, senior, paired with Frater at #2. and the #1 team of Ringle and Salzberger both lost their second matches in three long sets.

Co-Captains K a t h y Harris and Krin Ringel (

stated that the level of* competition has greatly

Increased within the con­ference over the past few years.

Under the dynamic leadership of Coach Mary Poulson. the Vikings ex­pect to have an equally strong team next year, as they will be losing only two seniors, and there were many strong new freshmen this year.

The team ended the sea­son with an impressive 7 wins, 3 losses record for dual meets.

Individual w in /loss records for the players this season were: Salzberger 18-3; Frater

12-5; Pierce 12-3; Ringle 7-9, Rohrbach 10-6; Andrews 4-10; Harris 2-5; Sarah Mixen, sophomore 1-2; Jenny Schmidt, freshman 0-3; Monita M oham m adian . fresh­man 2-4.

The other players on the team this year were senior

Stephanie West, freshman Becky Bubolz. freshman Lisa Orzepowskl, and

highly literal Gospel Ac cording to St. Matthew).

'mere is a hard edge to

this movie, a sometimes

painful road to follow as a viewer. There is a real

sense of struggle, of pain --

but how could lt be other­

wise. The film, however,

ls far from “sub-human"

(the term of one Catholic

reviewer). Many scenes

are highly passionate and

touching (some of the

conversations between

Dafoe and Harvey Keitel

fas Judas|). Others are

humorous (moments with

the apostles). Still others,

joyful (the wedding; a re­

assuring hand on Peter's

shoulder).

Th e Last Tem ptation celebrates the hum an,

even as aspects of that life

which must finally be

overcome. Overcome, with a smile and the most Incredible depiction of the nearly ineffable death and resurrection.

One could accuse the

film of being too reductive

(almost Manichaen) in its

dichotomies: body and

spirit, the heart and the

ax. But this is a film of

divinity by choice, and

reconciliation. Scorsese

shows the salvation for

which the protagonists of

M e a n S t r e e t s . T a x i D river, and Raging Bull were searching.

The films reconcilia­tions may seem ad hoc, but that is the nature of all redemption. The struggle to know thyself is continual.

But there are also many other things which Jesus did; were every one o j them to be written. I sup pose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be writ ten.
