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

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-

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

"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

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

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
- See: Amber waves of grain.
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.

alarming numbers. M a rine biologists are pointing their finger at indus-

the fall term of 1989. The Thetas have also been placed on probation for one year and are required
to complete 150 hours of

Panhellenic Council and InterFraternity Council wish to express the sever
ity of these violations and

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.
Before it's too late.

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-

concept of positive government intervention,
while in the meantime
many honu less .ire starving for assistance.
It is time that this assistance is made available. In Massachusetts thousands ol young families and first time house buyers have been assisted by Michael Dukakis' housing programs. His administration has been working in partnership with local government
and the Bricklayers Union to build low and
moderate income housing. As President, Dukakis will fight diligently to help the homeless.
The Republicans have somehow made the tax issue the number one campaign issue in 1980. 1984. and 1988; however, they don't want to discuss how our tax money should be spent. If this were not frustrating enough, the Republicans deny at every
turn that they will raise
taxes, and vet they persis

economic time bomb to explode. For the future welfare of our country and its people, it is essential that Mike Dukakis be our next President. Please vote November 8th. •

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

Due to lack of sponsor

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

satellites. Success could mean putting “little nu
clear power plants" into
orbiting satellites. Elmer later said that the consequences of a nuclear accident in orbit would be “incalculable".
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.)

The key word is “bi-partisan". Could Michael Dukakis, who is sup

well.
The future president will be forced to come to terms with foreign policy problems which are nearly beyond control of any administration George Bush and tlu^»^ Republican party are t h e « best qualified and the best choice at the moment. T g
devastation that the use of nuclear weapons would cause, Elmer also cites economic reasons for supporting a test ban. He
compared the enormous sums of money allocated to U.S. defense proJects*to the much smaller costs of health related and other social programs, such as prenatal care.
He stated. ". . . from a physician's standpoint, as well as from a citizen's. I have a problem with that."
Each test apparently costs 12 to 75 million dollars which. Elmer said, .. is no more than an advancement ln the arms' race."

test ban agreement ls reached, PSR would then push for a gradual reduction of nuclear weapons

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

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."

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.
