• Budget woes

$11M proposed cut to UMaine system worries manyBy Michelle HikelStaff Writer

Early this week the Appropria-tions Committee of the Maine Leg-islature approved an $11 million cutto the University of Maine System,in an effort to provide money for thestate's $121 million shortfall.

Although the proposal still mustbe approved by a two-thirds major-ity of the State House and Senate,the$11mil lion endorsement, whichthe committee made last Sundayafternoon, has many UMaine ad-ministrators worried about the fu-ture of the state's higher education.

"These budget cuts are going tobe very, very difficult for faculty,

students and administration," saidGeorge Wood, member of theUMaine Board of Trustees.

Wood said the budget cuts, ifimplemented, would make it diffi-cult for the UMaine system to"main-tain a standard of excellence of high-er educational system for the state."

"What we have tried to do, in thelast 48 hours, is contaet the gover-nor and members of the Legislatureto express our deep concerns. Weare all very worried," he said.

If this budget proposal is passedby the House and Senate, cuts tothe system will be enacted thisspring semester.

According to Trustee ChairPatricia Collins, these cuts could

mean a reduction in university pro-grams and class sections, travel,equipment, system-wide financialsupport and an increase in tuition.

"These are all good things wemay have to cut, which makes it sodifficult," she said.

John O'Dea, Orono's state rep-resentative, said he was "very dis-appointed with the committee's de-cision."

"The committee members werevery polite, but they only had uni-versity administrators in there fornine minutes, and then made thedecision to endorse the budget cuts.There was no discussion."

O'Dea also said he was frus-trated with the budget scenarios

"Roe v Wade" defense councilmakes predictions about futureBy Michelle A. RedikerStaff Writer

While a University of Maineprofessor bowed his head, saying arosary and holding a Right to Lifeposter at the Maine Center for theArts with nine other silent protest-ers Wednesday night, Sarah Wed-dington, defense council in Roe v.Wade, detailed her experience withthe case and her work with theabortion rights movement.

She also gave some predictions

for the landmark right to abortioncase she helped to win in 1973.

"On October 15, as I watchedthe vote being taken on ClarenceThomas, it seemed to me that thesands of time were running out onRoe v. Wade and that we weregoing to lose it," she told the largecrowd in Hutchins Concert Hall.

"Sometimes the things you loseare the things you care the mostabout," she said.

There were three key issues inthe case; the right to privacy, wheth-

er pregnancy is fundamental andwhether the state has a compellingreason to regulate abortion. Wed-dington said privacy and regula-tion are still key issues and mayhelp overturn Roe v. Wade.

the UMaine system has offered tostate legislators.

"Quite frankly, I think the Uni-versity of Maine system needs to lookat how these cuts are spread out Ithink they should have made a bettereffort to make cuts other than thosethat would have a direct impact onservice or programs," he said.

In response to the committee'sproposal, O'Dea said an Oronodelegation was formed, includinghimself, Senator Stephen Bost andOrono Representative Mary Cath-cart, to fight the $11 million cut.

"This decision will be very dif-ficult to turn around, but I'm notconvinced there will be enoughvotes (in the House and Senate) to

pass the proposal. I'm not going tovote for a budget that cuts money tothe University of Maine System."

UMaine Interim President JohnHitt said the "plan here hasn'tchanged"

Hitt said an $11 million cut tothe UMaine system would mean a$3.4 million cut to the Orono cam-pus, "assuming there is an increasein tuition."

Without a tuition increase, Hittestimated the cut to the Orono cam-pus to be $5.5 million.

To meet the possible budget cuts,some of the following recisions havebeen considered by the university:

Activity fee mcrease rejectedBy Kim DineenStaff Writer

In the campus-wide referendumvote yesterday, student govern-ment's request fora $2.50 increasein the activity fee was overwhelm-ingly defeated, while all of thenon-binding referendums passed.

These results cannot be con-firmed until 3:30 p.m. today, as-suming no complaints are filedagainst the election. At that time,they will be declared official.

Student government tried un-successfully for a $5.00 increase inthe activity fee last semester. Thistime, the raise from $20.00 to$22.50 was still too much to askfrom students. Student govenunentwanted the raise for cost of livingsalary increases and additionalfunding for boards and clubs.

"The rejection (of the increase)won't hurt student government'sbudget," said Bill Reed, formerchair of the Fair Election PracticesCommission. "It will only hurtclubs and organizations."

The referendum was defeated386-608.

• Hartman Awards

Chase Smith, Nardone and Labbe recipients of Hartman AwardsBy Michelle A. RedikerStaff Writer

Former Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, Fran-co-American vocalist Lilianne Labbe andGi Ida Nardone, president of the National Dis-placed Homemakers Program, were each pre-sented with the Maryann Hartman Award,recognizing their achievements and inspira-tion to other women.

The award, presenl by the Women in theCurriculum at the six,Øl annual ceremony in theDamn Yankee Tuesday, honors late Universi-ty of Maine Professor Maryann Hartman, whoserved as a role model for many women atUMaine and throughout the state.

"The goal of the Women in the Curricu-lum is to help the University of Maine achievea curriculum that includes the contributions,perspectives, values and needs of women aswell as men," said Ann Schonberger, directorof the WIC program.

The awards help carry out WIC's goal byinspiring women, showing the many ways inwhich Maine women have achieved distinc-tion and increasing awareness of contempo-rary women's accomplishments.

The women chosen this year have madecontributions to society in their respective ar-eas and are role models for many people.

Huguette Labbe Doherty, who presentedLilianne Labbe's award, said Labbe is dedi-cated to sharing her heritage through hermusic in hopes others will regard their own

heritage as an asset.Labbe and Don Hinkley form the Psaltry

duo, and have traveled extensively across thecountry and around the world sharing the cultureof French-Canadians and Franco-Americans.

Upon receiving the award, Labbe said whenshe found out she had been chosen she wasstruck by the words "inspiring other women."

"Having been raped at age 14 by a teacher,I refused to stigmatized," Labbe said.

"That means being able to say this todaywithout shame." She hopes other survivors ofrape can follow this lead and feel good aboutthemselves.

Labbe said although she was rebelliouswhen she was young," I did not rebel againstmy French heritage," and she said that it is oneof the things she has been proudest of.

Eloise Vitelli, who works with Gi Ida Nar-done at the Displaced Homemakers program,presented Nardone's award.

Vitelli thanked Nardone for pushing her toher own achievements and supporting her,while making tremendous strides of her own.

"I was empowered by her trust. She was amentor, a loyal guide," Vitelli said.

"I understand the value of a role-model,and I thank the women who came before me,"Nardone said.

Nardone said she was proud of being fromAroostook County. She said that is where shewill be focusing her work next, and she recent-ly got a grant from the Ms. Magazine Founda-tion to work on economic development in

• Savings and loan scandal

Cranston accepts reprimand, then denies guiltBy Larry MargasakAssociated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — Seri. Alan Cran-ston accepted a Senate reprimand on Wednes-day for "improper and repugnant" dealingswith Charles H. Keating Jr. in a remarkableplea bargain, then defied his accusers in thesavings and loan influence scandal.

That prompted the top Republican on theSenate Ethics Committee to accuse the ail-ing, retiring California senator of smearingthe Senate with unrepentant arrogance.

It was a tumultuous ending to the twoyear "Keating Five" investigation.

After committee members presented theirreport on behalf of the full Senate, Cranstontook the floor to accept the action "with deepremorse in my heart." He then spent nearlyan hour denying he was guilty of many of the

committee's accusations.The Senate took no vote on the report

that accused the California Democrat of "animpermissible pattern of conduct in whichfund-raising and official activities were sub-stantially linked."

The decision not to take a vote marked acompromise between the view of the com-mittee's Republicans and Democ-rats. Thecommittee found Cranston violated no lawor Senate rule.

Cranston's remarks enraged committeeVice Chairman Warren B. Rudman, R-N.11.,who told colleagues the Californian's state-ment was "arrogant, unrepentant and a smearon this institution."

The committee said that "extenuatingcircumstances exist" in Cranston's case, not-ing his poor health and intention to retire.

Cranston, 77, is ill with cancer and leav-

ing the Senate next year after 24 years.Cranston was among the "Keating Five"

senators who received $1.3 million in polit-ical donations from Keating and associateswhile intervening with thrift regulators onbehalf of the owner's Savings and Loan.More than $900,000 went to Cranston'scampaigns and causes.

The committee said the linkage in Cran-ston's case deserved severe punishment.The panel last February ended its case againstthe four other senators with ties to Keating,finding that they used bad judgment but thatthe links between the contributions and in-tervention were not as strong.

The Senate chamber was virtually full tohear Rudman and outgoing ethics chairmanHowell Heflin, D-Ala. present the panel'sfindings. Then Cranston began, with a pat ofencouragement from his new attorney -

Harvard Law School professor Alan Der-showitz. The senator fumbled with his hand-held microphone for a moment and thenspoke in a forceful voice.

Cranston said his fund-raising effortsand the easy access he granted to constitu-ents such as Keating were no different thanthe behavior of other senators.

"So let me ask: Since I have been singledout for a reprimand on access today, whoamong you can be sure you will not be singledout for a reprimand on access tomorrow'?Herealut for the grace of God, stand you.

"There is only one way out: Get moneyout of politics. Enact public financing, andenact it now."

Rudman retorted that Cranston's "ev-erybody does it" defense was "poppycock"and "unworthy of the record of the seniorsenator from California."• Dead Sea Scrolls

• Recovery • Cancer research

Boy out ofcoma speaksthanks to dogBy Larry RosenthalAssociated Press Writer

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — An II-year-old who suffered a near-fatal head in-jury two weeks ago put two words togetherfor the first time since the accident, thanks tohis dog, Rusty.

"Bad Rusty," Donny Tomei said Tues-day as the frisky chow-collie puppy leapedonto him while he sat in a recliner. -

"This is really 'a boy and his dog story,"said Dr. Charles Duncan, a neurosurgeon.

Donny, who also ate his first food Tues-day since the accident, was hit by a car Nov.4 and was in a coma for several days. Hehadn't reacted to anything until last Thurs-day when Rusty licked his face and the boysmiled.

Although he still doesn't respond to allcommands, "he clearly is not in a comanow," Duncan said.

Donny's condition began to improvemarkedly after his family got permission tobring his beloved dog to the hospital.

"Lots of people have known for a longtime that after a head injury like this, pa-tients tend to respond to their families, peo-ple they know well, far sooner than they doto the nurses and doctors talking care ofthem," Duncan said.

Half of the people with head injuries assevere as Donny's die, and only half of thesurvivors make meaningful recoveries, Dun-can said. He said that Donny has a goodchance for such a recovery, but it could takeyears."Now that you can see the progress it

sure makes it a lot easier," said the boy's 23-year-old sister, Angela Manacchio.

Leukemia may belnked to electrical fieldsLOS ANGELES, Calif. (AP) — Doctors

found childhood leukemia may be linked topower lines, black-and-white televisions andhair dryers, and they say the study also castssuspicion on electric blankets, video gamesand other appliances.

The five-year, $1.7 million study wassponsored by the electric utility industry andconducted by Drs. Stephanie London, JohnPeters and others at the University of South-ern California. It was published this monthin the American Journal of Epidemiology.

The researchers called it the most com-prehensive study yet on the possible butunproven health risks of electromagneticfields, or EMFs — invisible force fieldsgenerated by power lines, appliances andeverything electrical.

Magnetic and electrical fields are sepa-rate components of electromagnetic fields.Suspicion about possible cancer risks hasfocused primarily on magnetic fields.

"The current study adds some support to

the hypothesis that electromagnetic fieldsincrease childhood leukemia risk, but itdoesn't resolve the controversy," said Pe-ters, USC occupational health director.

The researchers compared 232 Los An-geles County children who got leukemia byage 11 and 232 who did not, and adjusted theresults to account for other factors that mightraise the risk of cancer.

The study's main conclusions, releasedin February, found that children who liveclose to high-voltage power lines may havetwice the normal I -in-20,000 chance of get-ting leukemia.

Children who regularly watched black-and-white TV were I and a half times morelikely to have leukemia as kids who didn'twatch. Those who used hair dryers were 2.8times more likely to have the cancer as thosewho didn't use the devices.

Yet the study found only a weak link be-tween leukemia and the strength of magneticfields measured in the children's homes, and

no link between the cancer and the intensity ofelectric fields. That suggests that if EMFsreally do promote cancer, some factor otherthan the strength of those fields is responsible.

The final version of the study, releasedTuesday, also hints children might face anincreased risk of leukemia if they regularlyuse electric blankets, curling irons, videogames, electric space heaters or electricclocks with dials rather than digital dis-plays, Peter said.

The links between leukemia and appli-ance use were statistically significant onlyfor hair dryers and black-and-white televi-sions. Peters said that means the connectionbetween cancer and other appliances is in-conclusive and requires more study.

"The main thing this study does is raisethis issue," he said.

Because of such uncertainty, "it wouldbe important for parents not to panic aboutthese results," said London, as assistant pro-fessor of preventive medicine

Croatian city conquered, but fighting may continueBy Tony SmithAssociated Press Writer

ZAGREB, Yugoslavia (AP) — Gunswere silent in Vukovar but the cleanup ofbodies was far from over in the fallen Croat-ian stronghold, and one local Serb com-mander vowed to press ahead for anothercity in the secessionist republic.

On Wednesday, hundreds of sick andwounded crept from cellars in Vukovar to beevacuated. What greeted them were horrify-ing glimpses of carnage wrought by thethree-month offensive, which ended overthe weekend when the city's Croatian de-fenders gave in to the Serb-dominated fed-eral army.

The eastern Croatian city was in ruinsand claims surfaced of atrocities — includ-ing one report, which could not be indepen-dently confirmed, that 41 children were slain.

Zeljko Raznatovic, commander of Serbvolunteers in Vukovar, told Belgrade TVwhen asked about his next goal: "We aregoing on. Osijek."

The capital of the eastern province ofSlavonia and a city of 140,000 people, Osi-jek is 20 miles northwest of Vukovar and130 miles east of the Croatian capital Zagreb.

Osijek has been shelled for three months,and five people died there Wednesday, Croat-

ian news media said.It was not immediately clear, however,

whether federal military forces intended tomake Osijek their next major target or wheth-er they intend to subject if to the same kindof bombardment as Vukovar.

Thousands of people have died in fight-ing since Croatia declared independencefrom Yugoslavia on June 25. The federalarmy increasingly sided with ethnic Serbs inCroatia who believe they would face dis-crimination by an independent Croatiangovernment. The army and Serb fightershave seized about a third of the republic.

The head nurse at Vukovar hospital, Lju-bica Lavrenic, said the hospital recorded500 dead and buried. "But at least another500 likely died and are unaccounted for,"she told a reporter in Sremska Mitrovica, aSerbian town where a stadium has beenturned into a refugee shelter.

Sister Mladena, a nun caring for thewounded, said many children died becauseof lack of adequate medicine and treatmentduring the siege.

"Many of them died of gangrene," shesaid. "We couldn't sterilize anything. Ev-erything was overcrowded."

Around Vukovar, hundreds of bodies,some with eyes gouged out or limbs hackedwith axes, littered the streets. Much of the

city has been leveled."This is terrible. Unbelievable," one pa-

tient said while being loaded into an ambu-lance on a stretcher.

Croatian officials in Zagreb charged thatsome of the sick and wounded were arrestedby the army before they could be evacuated.That report couldn't be confirmed, but someof the refugees in Sremska Mitrovica saidyoung men had been separated from the

group and taken away.Thousands of people fled Vukovar, a

mixed Serb-Croat city of 40.000.A photographer, Goran Mikic, said the

corpses of 41 ethnic Serbian children werefound in plastic bags in a school neighboringBorovo Naselje. An AP photographer whotried to reach the scene was prevented fromdoing so by army troops who cordoned offthe area.

Syria says any US attack againstLibya would ruin peace talks

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) - Syria saidThursday that any U.S. military action against.Libya over its alleged involvement in thebombing of a Pan Am jetliner could jeopar-dize Arab-Israeli peace talks.

The official Syrian News Agency saidSyrian Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaatold Washington over the seriousness of suchacts at a time when efforts are being made toachieve peace and stability in the region.

Sharaa' s comments were made after he metwith Libyan Ambassador Named lalloud. Jal-loud voiced concern the Americans plan to

attack if Libya does not surrender two intelli-gence agents charged by U.S. and Scottishauthorities with involvement in the 1988 bomb-ing of a Boeing 747 over Lockerbie, Scotland.

Libya has denied complicity in the bomb-ing of the New York-bound jumbo jet, whichkilled 270 people.

Washington has not ruled out militaryaction against Libya.

Before the Libyan connection surfaced,Western investigators had named the Syria-based Popular Front for the Liberation of Pales-tine-General Command as the prime suspect.

Sutherland's stomach trouble delays return to StatesBy Terrence PettyAssociated Press Writer

WIESBADEN, Germany (AP) — FreedAmerican hostage Thomas Sutherland de-veloped stomach trouble and postponed hisreturn to the tInited States, a military spokes-man said Thursday.

Shiite Muslim kidnappers in Lebanon freedSutherland and Briton Terry Waite on Mon-day. Sutherland was flown to the 11.S. militaryhospital in Wiesbaden for medical checkups.

The 60-year-old educator, who initiallyreceived a clean bill of health, had beenexpected to leave the hospital and return tothe United States Thursday morning. Butthose plans were scrapped, Navy Cmdr.John Woodhouse told reporters.

"Mr. Sutherland woke Thursday morn

ing experiencing some stomach upset," themilitary spokesman said, adding that thefreed American was feeling "nauseous."

"This may only be a reaction to somedental surgery Mr. Sutherland had lastevening," Woodhouse added. "However,doctors are monitoring his condition andwill re-evaluate the state of his health later."

The spokesman said it was not knownwhen Sutherland will return to the UnitedStates.

"It's serious enough that they need to dosome more tests and more monitoring be-fore they release him," Woodhouse said.

Sutherland's father-in-law died just be-fore the former hostage's release, and he hadplanned to attend the funeral with his familyThursday.

Prince Sihanouk named president of Cambodia By Denis D. GrayAssociated Press Writer

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) - Thegovernment named Prince Norodom Siha-nouk as president Wednesday, giving himadditional stature in Cambodia's struggle to-ward reconciliation.

Cambodia's leaders said they were creat-ing a dual presidency, to he occupied by Siha-nouk and Heng Samrin, the country's currentpresident. The Heng Samrin, installed by Viet-nam after it invaded Cambodia in 1978, has

little power and is said to be ill with typhoid.A statement from the Vietnam-backed gov-

The statement said the Phnom Penh govern-ment and the People's Party of Cambodia weredetermined to create favorable conditions forSihanouk -to accomplish his royal mission ofnational reconciliation and national reconstruc-tion." It called on everyone to vote for Sihanoukin the 1993 elections "so that he can provide along-lasting protection for his children."

The 69-year-old Sihanouk returned tothe Cambodian capital from 13 years in exilelast week.

Sihanouk's new duties were not defined,and it was unclear how much power the posi-tion would give him.

The prince already heads the SupremeNational Council, a group composed of lead-ers from the four factions in this SoutheastAsian country of nearly 7 million people.

As council chairman, Sihanouk is supposedto remain neutral. But the announcement wasanother step in cementing the union between

him and the Phnom Penh government.The two have forged a de facto alliance and

have denounced the communist Khmer Rougeand the non-communist Khmer People's Na-tional Liberation Front Sihanouk had previous-ly been allied with the two groups, in a guerrillacoalition opposed to Hun Sen's government

Foreign minister Hor Nam Hong told re-porters that the decision to make Sihanoukpresident was made without consulting theKhmer Rouge or the Khmer People's Nation-al Liberation Front, whose leader, Son Sann,is due in Phnom Penh on Thursday.

Bates ends rule againstworkers speaking French

LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — The pres-ident of Bates College lifted a longstand-ing practice of forbidding some of its work-ers from speaking French on the job after aprotest by students.

Administrators said they were unawareof the unwritten rule that applied to cafete-ria and maintenance workers, many ofwhom live in the city's French community.

President Donald Harward saidWednesday that the gag order was not apolicy of the college."We are proud beneficiaries of a Fran-

co culture and language which has en-riched this community for generations," hesaid in a statement.

The prohibition against speaking Frenchhad been in effect at least 10 years withoutthe knowledge of Bates officials, said JamelCarignan, dean of the college."No one, except in those isolated pock-

ets, was aware of it," he said.The rule at Bates College apparently

was initiated years ago as a courtesy toEnglish-speaking people who do not un-derstand French. Harward said.

Referendum, whatreferendum?

Thursday's referendum elections had nothing if not theelement of surprise.Surprise that there was an election, surprise that there werefour questions on the ballot, surprise that some pretty importantissues were being decided.No surprise that many students didn't bother to vote ordidn't know how to vote.This isn't surprising because students didn't know aboutthe elections until Monday.This, unfortunately, is not unexpected. Student governmentusually does a great job of administering elections and a had jobof informing students about the issues.This time however, they outdid themselves. Not only wasthere a total lack of publicity, there were two questions addedto the ballot thirty-six hours before the polls opened.Fittingly, three of the four questions allowed students to

vote "no opinion." Many students took advantage of thatoption. Yes, ROTC has been debated recently on campus, andparking is always an issue, but that does not mean students areinformed enough to make a decision or are even interestedenough to care.

Brent Littlefield, vice-president of student government saidThursday that students "should have a chance to debate theissues" before voting on them.

Some of the issues, like Interim President Hitt's beingallowed to keep the position permanently, were important anddid need student input. But by rushing them to uninformedstudents, nothing was accomplished.

Nothing except the simple, but false, reassurance thatdemocracy was served and student opinion was ascertained.(DMK)

Blondes learn at a youngage how to twist men around theirlittle fingers just by looking cute,weak and defenseless (Noticethere was no stupid mentioned).It's not difficult. Open your eyesup wide, let a few tears creep overthe surface and twist a lock ofhair. It's gotten me out of manyscrapes. I'm not excusing this but,when you're cornered, you usewhatever you can to get out of it.

So some brunettes are jealousand rag on blondes because it makesthem feel better. That's OK untileveryone gets out in the real worldand tries to get jobs. No matter howsmart and savvy a blonde is, shestill has to overcome the stereo-types these jokes perpetuate.

Not all blondes are stuck onthemselves or have revolvingdoors on their bedrooms (somedo, at least the revolving doorpart).

If there was a huge faction ofpeople telling racial jokes andposting them in the work placethe Reverend Al would bescreaming about diversity andmulticulturalism. I haven't seenit happening yet. Why are weselectively tolerant?

If you all have to tell thesejokes, then have the good-taste todo it quietly and don't do it aroundblondes with an attitude; like me.

Being blonde doesn't mean youhave more fun. In many casesblondes have more problems thananyone else because people treatthem like stooges.

The blondes who laugh at thesejokes should be shot. It may beamusing right now, and it willendear you to the small-mindedjokers cracking you up at the mo-ment„ but in the long run you'llpay for it, and so will the rest of us.

Cari Clay is a senior who isswamped in troubles right now,and is going to hurt the next per-son who tells her a dumb blondejoke.

Techies shine behind the scenesBy Frank Spurr

They run around in blackoutfits, blending into the darkcorners of the stage or hangingeffortlessly on a long, frazzledrope anticipating the next cue.If you look closely, you mightspy their handiwork, but not ifthey can help it.They are members of the

technical crew affectionatelyknown as "techies." They arethe unsung heroes of the the-ater. They don't usually get theapplause, but they help theactors get it.

This weekend, during MaineMasque's production of "Mar-riage," youll be able to experi-ence the immediacy of live the-ater. With a bit more observa-tion, you might try spotting thesouls behind the scenes.Wayne Merritt, assistant

professor of Theater, is theleader of these souls. As Setand Lighting Designer andTechnical Director for "Mar-riage," Merritt coordinates thetechies in an effort to presentthe actors in the best possiblelight. Merritt said it is fascinat-

Director brings elementsof own life into Marriage

By Jody Myers

Verbatim Staff Writer

Last spring Assistant Pro-fessor of Theatre ThomasMikotowicz decided that MaineMasque's '91 repetoire wouldinclude a show about an opti-mistic relationship that souredand failed. He chose a playcalled "Marriage."What Mikotowicz didn't

know was that over the sum-mer his own 10 year marriagewould end, leaving him feelingworse than death."Now the play has become

more than a play. It is one of thebest insights into Mikotowiczthe man and how he does histheatre.'A divorce is so painful—you

can't imagine. But with 'Mar-riage' a play actually became

life, and I was able to workthrough some issues," he said.

Mikotowicz emphasized thatthe performance was not about"group therapy for Tom." Hesaid he encouraged all cast mem-bers to maximize their own situ-ations while building the char-acters they were portraying.'The first few rehearsals,

ideas were bouncing off thewalls. And if somethingsounded especially good, weadded it," said Mikotowicz, re-ferring to the script.The Maine Masque's presen-

tation of Russian NikolaiGogol's *Marriage," runs fromNov 21-24 and is an updatedversion. It bears a couple ofMikotowitcz's trademarks: ex-perimentation and politicalstatements on stage."The original play is a ro-

mance in the 19th century, andwho REALLY knows what it

was like back then?"And even if we did know,

the question is 'how can wereally make an audience get intouch with those feelings?'"The solution was looking

outside the script to blend cul-ture characteristics from the1800s and today. Charactersdressed in 19th century garbsport high-top basketballsneakers. Some music selec-tions are from the 70s, andadded roles include a serialkiller and two Ninja Turtles.

"This is a culture clash," saidMikotowicz. "It's not unlike aclash between people who,above all, can't communicate."For those who can,

ax F'acts by Beverly A. GabeA review of the latest tapes, albums and CDsKern AndersonLabyrinth

In amaze of twists and turns,Kern Anderson exposes us to anew musical delight aroundeach corner.

Echoing the strains of PeterGabriel's heavy bass and haunt-ing drums, Anderson touchesour souls with 'Ghosts." Thissong cuts through the surfacematerial and goes straight forthe heart of the matter. "Some-day I'll drive away/ SomedayI'll find a place/ Safety for allmy ghosts."

With "Corner of Life," thistalented lady catches up in awhirlwind of fasttempo and solidguitar pieces. With just one lis-tening you lose control of yourfoot which rhythmically taps outMorse code reading, "Drive fast,buy my album, it's good."

Perhaps the best song on theentire album," One Day- hailsback to the introspectiverhythms of In Your Eyes," byPeter Gabriel. With heavy reso-nating drums that throb intoyour body, Anderson sings,"One day all our different godswill have the same name/ Oneday all our different colors willbe the same." This is truly ananthem for an era.

In a brilliantly simplisticpiece, Kern Anderson sings thetraditional "parting is suchsweet sorrow" song. Indigo Girl-ish vocals and quiet yet almostdominant guitars make thissong a calm foil to her previoussongs fueled by passions fury.

With her chameleon-likequalities, Kern Anderson willsurely prosper in a world domi-nated by pan-flashers that sportonly one musical hat.

Matthew Sweet: squealing away with abandon.

Kern Anderson: exposing us to new musical delight.

Matthew SweetGirlfriend

With his third album, MatthewSweet takes us on a wild ride throughpop. He makes us squeal with abandonat his blistering guitar riffs as we goskidding over the musical landscape inhis vehicle called "Girlfriend."

The first track, 'Divine Interven-tion," caresses our senses with slowdrums and a heavy bass line, then slapsus into reality with sharp, crisp guitarsequences. His vocals can be imaginedas a high pitched cross between XTC'sclear-spoken confidence and Tom Petty'snagging whine, toned down a bit.

The only fault with this album isSweet's constant falling into the twangycountry sound. At the beginning of "YouDon't Love Me," "Your Sweet Voice,"and 'Winona," that country dog whinesto be let outside to howl at the moon. Isuggest that Sweet should take his dogto the Humane Society before it chewsup his dancing shoes.

With "Does She Talk," the topic of

dumb women is brought to the surface.Just as "She Ain't Pretty," highlightedthe futile search for intelligent, beauti-ful, mates, Sweet's song mirrors thosesentiments and adds a few timely lines."Cause man, you can't teach a slither-

ing snake to walk," is one of the manyingenious lines sung by Sweet through-out this album.'Holy War" shows us the cerebral

side of Matthew Sweet. True, this al-bum contains mostly traditional popmotifs, but Sweet also throws in think-ing man's lyrics. In his minimalistic, yetinsightful style, he sings "Cause I'm notin for killing another man/ Defendingmy Holy Land/ As if there's a God whowould understand."

'Girlfriend" marks the dawning of anew age in pop, songs with catchy tunesthat have real lyrics spawned from realpeople. Just like the commercial says,'Real beef, formal people. " Matthew Sweetdismisses the popcorn and ricecake for-mula of pop songs and feasts instead on themusical and lyrical meat and potatoes.

Art professors exhibit works at CameBy Nicole Zando

Verbatim Staff Writer

The University Maine Mu-seum of Art has become theshowcase for faculty artworkonce again during the annualFaculty Art Show.The show, which opened on

Nov. 18 and runs through Jan. 2,highlights the works of nine art-ists including Owen Smith,Michael Lewu3' ,yincent Hartgen,James Linehfin, Susan Groce,Lisa Beerntsen, Alan Stubbs,Ron Ghiz and Charles Shepard.The media used by these

artists ranges from gouache,oils, ink, turpentine mixed with

oils, steel planks, boards andwineglasses.The pieces are set side by

side so viewers can see theirstriking diversity and differentartistic approaches.The soft, sweeping landscapes

of Michael Lewis, for example,contrast sharply with the highlydetailed studies of rocks andstreams by Vincent Hartgen.

Art professor and studio art-ist Susan Groce said the differ-ent styles, concerns and sensi-bilities of the various artistsare interesting to view.

"There's something for ev-eryone,* she said.

Groce is exhibiting a set ofmixed media drawings of archi-tectural landscapes in the show.

One of her pieces is titled"Falling Empires: TheBrandenburg Gate" whichdeals with the fall of the BerlinWall, Groce said.

Allowing students to view

"It is important for studentsto know that we are workingartists hs well," Groce said.UMMA director Charles

Shepard also commented on thediversity of the works.

"From a student point of view, it's nice to see

the faculty's work," — intern Kelly Swift

the work of their professors isan important part of the show,she said.

"I think it is an importantplace to show. We work withstudents, and in my classes, Ido not usually show my work,"she said.

"There's no way you couldever have a particular organiz-ing theme other than that ev-eryone is a faculty member. Allthe artists are working on aparticular problem with theirwork," he said.

"I think one of the exciting

things for the university is thatit's the equivalent of someoneshowing off their research,"Shepard said.

While other professionalsmay write papers as part oftheir research endeavors, art-ist spend hours in the studio.'In the case of studio faculty,

their ongoing research is theirwork," Shepard said.The show represents the one

time all year that people get tosee faculty work, he said.'From a student point of

view, it's nice to see the faculty'swork," said UMMA curatorialintern Kelly Swift.

1. Moonlighting. Sure itfizzled for a while, but therewere many priceless moments.The witty, uproarious banterbetween Dave and Maddiewere combined with some greatslapstick chase scenes at theend of the show.Such comic heights are

rarely reached by tv.2. China Beach. They could

have played the theme musicless, butthe combination ofdrarnaand gallows humor helped keepthe audience from being crushedby some of the tragedy.

3. Northern Exposure.Nothing could be as quirky,but it's not cutesy.Withthe ex-ception of Shelley, it's got greatcharacters. Inside all such go-ings-on there are some sad andinsightful moments. And it'srarely predictable.

4. Saturday Night Live.Not just the first cast, mindyou, but most of its seasons.Last week's show with LindaHamilton showed it could be ariot, like the sketch "MassiveHeadwound Harry."

With other great bits of therecent past, like ̀ Chia Head,"there are plenty of reasons tokeep watching.

5. The McLaughlin Group.It's a political talk show with ahyperactive pace, but that's whatkeeps it interesting.

There's plenty of clashes andgood points as well. And it's some-thing rare for PBS—intelligentand not the least bit boring.

1. Baywatch. Call me a typi-cal guy if you want but any showwith Erika Elanyak in a bath-ing suit 90 percent of the timehas to be the best. Not to men-tion the great views of the Cali-fornia beach (aka. the girls).

2. Cheers. Norm! 'How's ishanging Mr. Peterson?"—"Notgood Woody, but a free beer willfix that right up." Great oneliners and we all know a CliffClaven or two. Absolutely notGeddy's or Cheepo's, no one atCheers dances on the tables!

Anti-porn amendment falls incompromise over grazing fees

By Matt Yancy

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP)—TheNational Endowment for theArts escaped 1991 with no newanti-obscenity curbs on thegrants it awards, but onlythrough a "corn for porn" dealthat caused many lawmakersto switch their votes.

Senators from Westernstates abandoned in droves theNEA's biggest critic, Sen. JesseHelms, R- N.C., Thursday topreserve subsidies for 27,000ranchers who graze their herdson federal range land.On a 73-25 vote, the Senate

reversed the support it hadgiven Helms just a month ago.The senators endorsed a com-promise in which the Houseagreed to give up its demandsfor large increases in grazingfees in exchange for leaving thearts endowment alone.The action eliminated the last

hurdle to sending PresidentBush a $12 billion bill that fi-nances the Interior Department,the arts endowment, some en-ergy programs and the U.S.Forest Service in fiscal 1992.The Senate voted 68-22 in Sep-

tember to include Helms' anti-obscenity restriction on the NEA'suse of its $176 million budget aspart of the bill, and the Houseendorsed it twice by better than2-to-1 margins in October.

However, it was deleted in acompromise put together bySenate Appropriations Com-mittee Chairman Robert C.Byrd, D-W.Va., and Rep. SidneyYates, D-Ill., the House's moststalwart defender of the artsfoundation.

"I've been defeated before ...but this is the first time anamendment I have offered hasbeen defeated by a bunch ofbull,"Helms said, calling his measurethe victim of "back-room dealsand parliamentary flimflam."

Most Republican senatorsfrom the 16 Western states,

where 268 million acres of fed-eral lands are used by cattleand sheep ranchers, switchedtheir votes against Helms.

"I'd like to have it both ways,but I can't, and a good many ofus can't," said Sen. Larry Craig,R-Idaho. 'It is just so funda-mentally important that I don'tsee hundreds of ranching fami-lies in Idaho bankrupted."

Contending th at restrictionsthat Congress imposed a yearago on the NEA are ineffective,Helms briefly showed the Sen-ate floor the cover of an NEA-funded magazine with a sexu-ally explicit photograph.He pulled it from one of

several brown envelopes be-side his desk containing other"filth and rottenness" financedby the NEA and asked hiscolleagues to take a look forthemselves.'But, please," he pleaded,

"make sure that the ladiesemployed by the Senate — andparticularly the young pageshere — are not exposed to it."

Mark Peskanov doesn't needwords to express himself. Hisviolin does his expressing for him.Peskanov, a native of

Odessa, U.S.S.R, has lived inthe United States since 1973and despite the cultural differ-ences, people the world overunderstand him.

"That's one thing I enjoyabout music: I don't have totalk. The wonderful thing aboutmusic is that it is one language,a universal language. It is ahundred languages put to-gether. It is a language that Iunderstand," Peskanov said.

It is this communicationthrough music to whichPeskanov aspires in his play-ing."When I'm performing

onstage, it's as if everyone is intune and harmony. Musicshould put people in a beauti-ful, caring mood. You're bring-ing them pleasure and yourtruth," he said.

Peskanov is one of the world'sforemost violinists. He has ap-

peared throughout the UnitedStates with such orchestras asthe American Symphony, theBaltimore Symphony, the Buf-falo Philharmonic, and theNational Symphony. The tall,burly Peskanov has receivedrave reviews for his appear-ances as well.To a certain degree,

Peskanov credits growing upin Odessa as having a profoundinfluence on his playing. Thebeaches, The Black Sea con-tributed to this, but it was thepeople of Odessa whichPeskanov feels influenced himin certain aspects of his music.

"TThe people who came fromOdessa had a reputation. Theywere funny people. The peoplewho lived there lived there forhundreds of years. They camethere from all over the world sothere were all kinds of person-alities. It was a very specialplace," Peskanov said.

Peskanov has trained exten-sively both in the U.S.S.R andin the U.S. He was a student atThe Juilliard School where hewon the annual violin competi-tion in 1976. Peskanov has alsoreceived the Avery Fisher Ca-reer Grant and Carnegie Hall's

first Isaac Stern Award.While Peskanov didn't re-

ally have any idols growing up,he listened to his violin instruc-tor play often."He was someone I had great

respect for. He was very strictmost of the time, except. duringmy public performances. He wasvery kind then," Peskanov said.

Peskanov has not been backto the U.S.S.R since 1973. Con-sequently, he hasn't experi-enced the many changesbrought about under Pres.Mikhail Gorbachev."Most of my growing up oc-

curred after I came to theUnited States so it would bevery hard for me to make thosecomparisons. I did have thoseexperiences where I wanted toperform a certain composer ora certain piece, but I was notallowed to," he said.

Peskanov isn't sure that hewants to live in the U.S.S.R,but said that he would like to goback to perform there.

don't think there are manycountries where I wouldn'twant to perform, so I have noexception of going back to theSoviet Union to perform for thepeople," Peskanov said.

MCA interim director rides out the stormBy John Johnson

Rolf Olsen, interim co-director ofthe Maine Center for the Arts, is verybusy this fall.

Having recently been appointed co-director with Brenda Henderson inthe wake of Joel Katz' resignation lastJune, Olsen has been working doubletime trying to keep the MCA on sched-ule and in the black.

"I'm responsible for promotionalactivities that get people to buy tick-

ets," Olsen said. 'I also want to en-courage people to try something newand different."

Cheryl Daly, assistant dean formulticultural programs, concurred.

"Rolf works extremely hard at be-ing inclusive of programming culturaldiversity in the arts," Daly said.

Breaking down steroetypes abouteverything from modern dance to op-era is one of his most important tasks,Olsen said.

AS promotional manager, Olsen'sregular job, he oversees an advertis-ing budget that has been cut from$162,000 to $72,000 over the last three

years.Olsen said direct mail is his great-

est asset in advertising."People respond better to that type

of advertising," he said. "We canvasabout 40,000 homes a year and we alsotake three or four days each year andgo out to the country and put flyers oneverything from cars to coffee tables."

What's black and white and can beseen at all Maine Center for the Artsperformances? No, it's not a culturallyaware penguin — it's the hardworkingand dedicated usher staff.The 100+ ushers volunteer their

time each season to ensure audiencemembers a comfortable and enjoy-able experience. The ushers handleapproximately 50 events each sea-son, covering all MCA bookings, aswell as most concert hall rentals andlectures, including the Guest LectureSeries, Bangor Symphony Orchestraperformances and University Singer'sconcerts.

Milley Owen, Events Coordinatorat the MCA, organizes the usher staffeach fall and said, 'People that be-come ushers usually stay because theylike it. We don't have a high turnoverrate."

Popping props

Assisting Owen with the organiza-tion and overseeing the ushers is HouseManager Linda Thompson.Owen is currently working on a

program that would integrate studentgroups with the ushers, even if only forone event. This summer the McNairScholars helped to usher the BranfordMarsal is show, and the ushers had theopportunity to interact with univer-sity students.The ushers begin each performance

season with an orientation session.This includes a tour of the buildingand covers emergency procedures, staffinformation and job duties, whichrange from ticket taking to coatroomattending.

In appreciation of their hard work,the ushers are honored with a banqueteach year. This year Owen workedwith the Hudson Museum Shop andBox Office to come up with somethingmore. Each usher was presented witha card for a 10 percent discount on allMuseum Shop purchases during theyear, and a gift certificate to any event

during the 91-92 performance series.The banquet also includes the

"Usher of the Year" award, which goesto the usher working the most perfor-mances. Last year, the award went toPeggy Manzer with 39 performances.During the 89-90 season, the awardwent to Ed Libby.

Ushers come from as far as Lin-coln to help out at performances.Edna Williams, Ingrid Vickery andRuth Goodwin, three friends fromLincoln, come for 10-14 performanceseach season, and even make the drivein bad weather.

Williams said it is good to get outand meet people, and her experiencehere has been "absolutely unbeliev-able." Vickery agreed, commentingthat she enjoyed the Russians' visitmost of all.

For Gloria Whorton, ushering holdsmany pleasant memories. Whorton re-sponded to an ad in the Bangor Daily,thinking it would LT a nice way to fillsome evenings. She never dreamedshe'd be meeting the stars.

Sign languWASHINGTON (AP) — When the

rock 'n' roll band is busting the decibelmeters and the fans are thrashing, thedeaf people in the audience are watch-ing Barry Nickelsberg to 'hear" themusic that's shrouded in their world ofsilence.From his corner of the stage,

Nickelsberg uses sign language to in-terpret the lyrics of the stage andthrows his entire body into the busi-ness of conveying the rhythm andemotions of the music itself.

Since he began his spare-time ca-reer as a "sign language artist" a de-cade ago, Nickelsberg has served theneeds of deaf audiences at more than800 musical performances with hisdancing, mime, body gestures, facialexpressions and stomping feet.

He's done it all — Broadway musi-cals, opera, rock, jazz, country and

e artist 'sings' to deafWestern, folk, blues, gospel, even rapmusic.Some rappers have been clocked at

500 words a minute, but Nickelsbergmanages with ease.

can sign as fast as anyone cantalk," Nickelsberg said. "I can inter-pret rappers, and nobody talks fasterthan rappers."He has appeared with the likes of

Pete Seeger, Holly Near and such1960s pop rock favorites as Gary "U.S."Bonds and the Drifters.He has played Washington folk fes-

tivals and concerts in the KennedyCenter and Carnegie Hall and theLincoln Center in New York, for feesranging from $300 to $1,000 per show.By day, Nickelsberg is a profes-

sional fund-raising consultant for col-leges, hospitals and other non-profitorganizations. By night, he's one of

only about a dozen people in the UnitedStates who interpret Music for thedeaf.

While rap music is tough, he said,opera is tougher. Because it usually issung in a foreign language, Nickelsbergrequires the help of a backup Englishinterpreter in the wings.

Various ArtistsTwo Rooms: Celebrating the songs of

Elton John and Bernie Taupin.

Ever since 1967, when Elton Johnand Bernie Taupin started writing songstogether, everyone else wanted to singthem. On this new album, the protegeesget a chance to sing the works of themasters.

"I love Bernie's lyrics and it's justone of those songs you wished you'dwritten yourself," said Sting about thesong "Come Down In Time."

The rendition features piano andbass with a bluesy feel to it. Sting'sthroaty characteristic vocals add newmeaning and depth to the song, origi-nally released in 1969.

"Rocket Man," was totally trans-formed in a strange, multicolored art byKate Bush. With her ethereal vocaltrack and an added reggae rhythm,Bush spins the rocket man around andtakes him to another planet. This ver-sion sounds less smooth and orches-trated than the original, but it gains asense of pureness and innocent powerthrough Bush's unique vocal style.

Wilson Phillips appears on TwoRooms, lending their harmonies to"Daniel." Calling it 'simply one of thesweetest melodies ever written," theseladies breath new life into this old song

with beautifully harmonized vocals. Thewords drip off their tongues like honey,accented with slinky saxophones.

The old Whamster himself, GeorgeMichael, makes an effort on this albumas well. His version of "Tonight," iscrooned simply and accompanied bypoignant piano.

Singing a song whose proceeds wentto AIDS research, Sinead O'Connorthrusts an apparition of "Sacrifice," inour faces. With ghostlike whisperings,O'Connor gives us the picture of a veryquiet, almost timid songstress right upuntil the end. As our senses becomeaccustomed to the soft vocals, she fillsthe shadow with passion and overlap-ping vocal tracks. This is arguably oneof the best selections of the album.

The line-up goes on; Eric Clapton,The Who, The Beach Boys, Joe Cocker,Bon Jovi and Rod Stewart all contrib-ute to this album. With over 30 albumsreleased during his career, Elton Johnis one of the busiest men in music.

Randy Newman once said "He didtwo albums while I was brushing myteeth."

Collaborating with Bernie Taupinfor most of those albums, the two havebecome the dynamic duo in popularmusic from the 70's through to the 90's."Two Rooms" provides a noble show-case of their timeless masterpieces.

Some of the most famous names in rock and roll pay tribute tosongwriters Bernie Taupin and Elton John on the album Two Rooms.

Rolf Olsen leads MCA through tough times from page V4video tapes sent to him every year aresome of the ways Olsen keeps in tunewith what audiences want to see.

"I used to work for a printing com-pany," Olsen said, "and what we didwas buy wholesale and sell retail.That's exactly what we do here at theMCA. These performers are a com-modity, just like anything else."

Olsen compared the process of se-lecting an act to a 3-D chess game."You have to fmd out who's available,

how much they cost, if they're on yourroute. We are kind of out of the way uphere and if they 6.11 spots in the variousdisciplines you want to represent. It's amatter of picking and choosing."

Olsen says it's been easier now thatthe MCA is established and some art-ists are starting to make return visits.Pianist George Winston and the jug-gling Kamarazov Brothers are twoprominent performers coming backthis year.

Olsen's background in the artsstarted in his youth. He grew up justoutside of New York City and regu-

larly attended Broadway showsthroughout his youth."We'd see ballet, the New York Phil-

harmonic, things like that; this wasthe environment I came from."

After attending Cornell for twoyears, Olsen said he took time off "tofind himself" before finishing at theUniversity of Maine at Presque Islewith a degree in the Humanities.

"It was a turbulent time," Olsensaid.

"Vietnam was going on and I justwasn't happy with what was going on.I don't think I was ready for all of ityet. The University of Maine atPresque Isle was just the right placefor me when I decided to go back. I'vemade some lifelong friends up there,"he said.

After college, Olsen started in ad-vertising for a TV station, moved intothe production office there, then on toan ad agency and finally onto an ad-vertising job for Bangor Savings Bank.His next post was with the MCA.It was all very good experience for a

job like this," Olsen said. "I've used every-thing I've learned form those jobs here."

With the budget cuts halving hisadvertising budget, Olsen said he'staken a more analytical approach toadvertising."We just can't go out and buy up

whole pages of advertising like weused to," Olsen said. "We have to focuson the media that offers the greatestlevel of response."

Olsen said the cuts have also af-fected his programming.

"It's always in the back of my mind,"Olsen said. "We're still willing to losemoney on some ventures for the sakeof diversity, but not many. It's ourfocus now to earn some money as op-posed to taking some chances."

Olsen said he believes the audiencewill lose out because of this new ap-proach.Broadway musicals and opera are

the biggest money makers, he said,with comedy and country music next.He said he plans to book more suchacts now in order to increase revenue.

Olsen himself was in the running tobecome MCAs new director. He saidhe found the whole process discourag-ing because of how long it's taken."They started in March...started

again in June and here it is October. I'mjust glad we're at the end of it," he said.

With the budget cuts and contro-versy surrounding the departure offormer director Katz behind him, Olsensaid the future is bright."The MCA has an exciting future. As

turbulent as the uproar over Joel Katzwas, people continued to come here andwe didn't miss a beat. I came to therealization that there was a huge emo-tional connection between the commu-nity and the center. We didn't knowwhat a powerful and important con-nection that is, but we do now."

Cheryl Daly agreed with Olsen'spositive outlook."Rolfs assisted me on numerous

occasions with supporting my needsfor special events. He's been a sup-portive friend since I arrived at theuniversity," she said.

The Welsh Witch sings her favorite tunesVHILADELPHIA — StevieNicks' new album, "Timespace: TheBest of Stevie Nicks," is a first for thediminutive, doe-eyed queen of mysticrock 'n' roll. She has decided, after 10years, to let her audience know whather favorite songs are about and forwhom they were written.

In the record's liner notes, theformer lead singer of Fleetwood Machas explained the whys andwheretofores behind her dusky-voicedclassics like "Stop Draggin' My Heart

Around," 'Stand Back," and "Edge ofSeventeen."

It was time to explain the songs, shedecided, because "everybody's had 10years to interpret them themselves."The album contains three new

songs, including one she wrote herselfin tribute to the veterans of the Per-sian Gulf War. But the emphasis is onher old standbys, which she illumi-nates in the liner notes.

"I spent about a month in Phoenix(her hometown) writing out all these

13 vignettes," she said in a telephoneinterview. "When I first started do-ing it, I thought, 'Do I really want todo this?' and then I thought, 'Yeah, Ireally do want to do it,' because Ireally do want people to understanda little about what this has been likefor me."The vignettes are tender, deeply

personal tales about the songwritingprocess, the men in Nicks' life and thetragedies she has experienced.One of the most touching stories is

the one behind "Has Anyone EverWritten Anything For You?" from herthird solo albtnn, 1985's "Rock A Little."It was written for and inspired bysinger Joe Walsh after she learned ofthe death of his 4-year-old daughter ina car accident.

Nicks tells of another tragedy, thistime in her own life, in her signaturesong, "Edge of Seventeen," from herfirst solo album, -Bella Donna," re-leased in 1981. She describes how help-less she felt when her uncle died.

Fitness and fun with Suzanne SomersFrank Spurr

I was at a friend's apartment theother day when I saw this trulythought-provoking television commer-cial.

Normally, I try to purge commer-cials from my mind. This ability toexorcise demonic, commercialisticthoughts is especially useful when adsfor Nana Mouskoury and ConwayTwitty albums appear. But for somereason, this advertisement plaguedme ever since I viewed it that Satur-day afternoon.

It was an advertisement for theThighmaster, a device which allowsyou to squeeze your way to beautifulthighs and buttocks.

I don't know why I was so botheredby this ad. Was it the product itself?Naw, I thought. I'm perfectly happywith my thighs and buttocks. Was itthe provocatively subtle, yet delicatelyevident sexual association one feelswhen one thinks of fitness? Perhaps.It's hard to think straight when yousee a spandex-clad woman squeezingher legs together and apart on na-tional television. Maybe the reason Iwas attracted to the commercial wasthe charasmatic and charmingditziness of model, actress, spokesper-son Suzanne Somers. After a recollec-tion or two of her role as Chrissi on

Three's Company, that thought alsodrained from my head.

There was no surface reason why Iwas so profoundly disturbed by theThighmaster commercial, yet it con-tinued to pester at the very essence ofmy being. And it was beginning tohurt.The days passed slowly. I continued

to function like any normal guy with acommercial on his mind. We've all hadthese bothersome nuisances. It's whatmakes us human. A similar annoy-ance is having a really bad song inyour head and not being able to get ridof it. I read that a surefire solution tothis problem is to sing the song reallyloudly to someone else. That way, it'sin their head. I wondered if this wouldwork with this "tell-tale" Thighmastercommercial.

After about a week of frustratingcontemplation and several sleeplessnights, it hit me. I finally figured outwhy I was remembering this abso-lutely useless commercial for an exer-cise apparatus for very lazy people. Itoccurred to me that I should, perhaps,begin to take an active role in thepursuit of fitness, not just for myself,but for others as well.

I heeded this commercial as a signthat I should become a fitness guru. Ibegan to think that I was destined tobring fitness to the masses, to thosewho had no access to the joys of a

healthy lifestyle, and to those whowould shell out $39.95 for a videotape.

With Suzanne Somers' squeezingthighs as my guiding inspiration, Ifabricated my fitness program. Whatfollows are my suggestions for creat-ing a healthier, happier populace.

First of all, I would impliment aspecial "Wimp Night at the WeightRoom." Let's face it...the weight roomat the Memorial Gym is an intimidat-ing place. Th9re are huge, hulking,sweating bodOuilders with arms thesize of tree-trunks lifting small andmid-size automobiles. And that's justthe women. Opening the weight roomto those weighing less than 150 poundsis a great way to motivate those whonormally would avoid the joys andsweat of the weightroom. The big duderegulars could stay on hand as spot-ters and to help with the stretchers,but they wouldn't be allowed to lift.

Second, I would form varsity levelteams comprised completely of smok-ers. The way I see it, smokers shouldhave the opportunity to earn a Big "M"for their jackets just like other ath-letes. True, lung capacity is vital tosuccess in many sports. But shouldsmokers be discriminated against justbecause they have excess phlegm intheir lungs? I think not. Special "smok-ers only" sports are fair to everyone.

Start up and equipment costs wouldbe excessive, but I believe tobacco com-

worked with Cox to select ex-cerpts from the tapes to put onthe CD.

After the selection process,they sent the mastertape toDigital House in New Yorkwhich pressed a disc out of it.The cover booklets of the CD

were printed at Furbish Rob-erts, a local press.

"I was very pleased how they(the covers) came out. I wanteda color picture on the cover anda picture of the group on theback, so they worked it all out,"Cox said.The Singers are using the CDs

to spearhead their European tourin the spring.The group, which is made up

of 32 men and 32 women, isdivided into 16 quartets con-sisting of a soprano, base, altoand a tenor.The discs are on sale in the

Bookstore and in the musicdepartment office.

When people give contri-butions of $50 or more to theUniversity Singers Gift Fund,we send them a free CD," Coxsaid.

Admission to the group is byaudition only and occurs eachsemester.The singers perform all kinds

of music. 'Everything from Bachto rock," Cox said.

"This year our repertoireranges from a 15th Gregorian

chant to 20th century popularmusic," he said.The students put in a lot of

time performing concerts, tour-ing and practicing.The students practice Mon-

day through Friday and areeagerly preparing for a concerton Nov. 24 at 3 p.m. at theMCA.

"It will be the first time wehave sung formally on campusthis year," Cox said.The students take one week

out of their March break totour.

This year the group will begoing to Philadelphia for 14concerts in 5 days.

While Cox is very proud ofthe group's members, the sing-ers also respect and admire him.

"Everybody in the groupwould say that the UniversitySingers is a special group notonly because of the students,but because of the enthusiasmand ability of Dr. Cox to bringout each member's greatestpotential," said UniversitySinger and European Tour Co-ordinator Brenda Zollitsch.'We're all working together

toward the same goal, which isbeautiful music," said Zollitsch,who is also the group's publi-cist.

Zollitsch, a fourth year stu-dent majoring in InternationalAffairs and German, enjoys her

membership in the group."Since music is something

very different from a lot of thedisciplines on campus, it'ssomething you can create, andyou can give something to oth-ers as well as to yourself," shesaid."The University Singers is a

very strong group: musicallytalented, close socially andemotionally," Zollitsch said.

"Singers does a lot of serviceprojects, fundraising, touring andrecruiting that gives us more todo than just classwork and learn-ing but a lot of sharing," she said.

Members are also very sup-portive of each other, which isimportant in the high-pres-sured, energy-draining worldof entertainment, Zollitsch said."The music. world is very

hard to be in, because you arealmost put on trial and judgedby what you can produce. It'svery important that while youare under stress and perform-ing that you have people tosupport you," she said.

That support system is alsovalued by other members.

"Basically, singers and mymajor are the only things keep-ing me here," Gooley said.

"I've been in a lot of groupsup here, but nothing comes closeto the bonding of the singers.It's really a unique group,"Gooley said.

ponies would contribute large amountsof money to offset these costs. After all,they pay big bucks to hang signs inarenas and stadiums. They would loveto have their company names and logosemblazoned on a numbered jersey. Justthink of the possible names: The Win-ston Wheezers, the RJR BronchialAsthmatics or the Camel Carcinogens.But I digress. I'm creeping into MichaelReagan territory.Of course, the size of these teams

would be larger than normal to allowfor the necessary substitutes. The onlycoaching requirement would be knowl-edge of CPR.

Finally, I would produce an infor-mative, timely video vividly depictinghow various foods are made. Knowingwhat goes into a hot dog or graphicallyportraying the types of insects whichcan be camouflaged onto a loaded pizza,is enough to discourage anyone fromeating these types of unhealthy foods.

These suggestions are only a be-ginning. With all the health videosand excercise novelties available to-day, it may be difficult to find room inthe market for some of these radicalinnovations. The fitness boom is stron-ger than ever but there remains adisfranchised few unfamilar with "nopain, no gain." It is this group which Ihope to target. With God's help,Suzanne's help, and-the help of qual-ity paramedics, I will.

To be perfectly honest, wedon't use tape to spike the flysystem," Menit said.One techie adjusts the vol-

ume of sound coming fromHauck's audio system; anotherscurries up a blaze-orange lad-der to focus a light.

Lights from AboveThe lighting booth, above the

entrance to the Hauck Audito-rium lobby, is dark and quietexcept for the hushed whispersinto the headsets and the lowamber light flickering over alighting control panel. One ofthe techies calls the lightingbooth the "red light district"because of the crimson glowand possibly because of theabundance of sailor's languagewhich occurs when somethinggoes wrong.

Nathaniel Packard andHeather Vinal huddle aroundthe control panel. This is Vinal'sfirst show running lights andshe waits for instructions fromMerritt. They come over theheadset and Vinal programs thevarious cues into the computer.

High tech has even takenover the world of the theater asthe computer allows the opera-tor and lighting designer toprogram the lights onstage.These cues can be timed so thatthe operator knows how long itwill take for one lighting seriesto change into another. Withthe press of a button, the lightsfrom one previous scene fadeinto black, then seconds later,they shine for the next scene.

Despite the technology in-volved, lighting design andother design elements still re-quire creativity and ingenuity.The audience doesn't alwaysappreciate this ingenuity be-cause technical aspects blendinconspicuously into the otherareas of production."The whole idea of lighting

is that it's not supposed to benoticed. You have to do it insuch a way that it creates a

certain feeling, but it doesn'tscream," Packard said.

Will Tech Sunday everend?The need for timing and co-

ordination is evident as Merrittand Mikotowicz stop the re-hearsal several times in ordercoordinate the lighting, musicand the cast. The cast is prob-ably the easiest element for thedirectors to control, but back-stage, most of them are rest-less. This stopping and start-ing is common on "Tech Sun-day," and the cast counters itby joking."Can I have a roast beef on

whole wheat, hold the pickles,"says one actress into a headset.Shoulder rubs and jogging inplace are also common as theactors try to keep warm andstave off the boredom.

"This is a dry tech, but Iconsider it a 'wet tech' becausewe have actors," Packard said.Coordination and Coop-

erationTechnical work encompasses

a number of elements: lighting,sound, set construction and sce-nic design. Each task is criticalin its own right, but it is theircoordination which often deter-mines whether the show is goodor great.

"It's one main concept thatyou're striving for," accordingto Anne Quirion, referring tothe director's vision of theshow. Quirion is a graduatestudent and is Assistant Tech-nical Director and Master Elec-trician for Hauck events. Shehas experience in all aspects oftheater but says doing lights isher favorite.

The manipulation of lightis exciting. You have to takeeverything into consideration,"she said.

Lighting design must takeinto account every aspect ofwhat is going on on stage. Thecostumes, make-up and setmust be considered as well asthe overall theme of the show.A lighting designer will utilize

"Musicals aren't as hard todesign as a straight play. Thereare certain colors that youchoose in a musical," she said.The various designers must

keep in touch with each otherand with the director in areas aswell, such as set design. This isnecesaary to keep the director'svision from getting blurry."You don't want to throw

of, has been sure to add apolitical touch. For "Mar-riage," Mikotowicz cast a fe-male as a male lead.

"It represents politics, thetypical role of women, and thefunction of performance," saidMikotowicz. He added thatwhen Maine Masque started,it was an all male group; hederives much pleasure fromturning things around. He isalso eager to gauge viewers'reactions.

"I simply could not do apleasant little 19th comedywithout showing people whatthe world can be like today...Iwould have felt unclean."

Beyond dredging up per-sonal ghosts and using experi-mental techniques lies anotherhighlight of "Marriage;"Mikotowicz's 5 year old daugh-ter is in the play.

"It has meant so much," hesaid. "She is 5 years old and shehas already learned about tak-ing direction, wearing make-up, staying with something."Mikotowicz describes havinghis daughter with him duringthis particular play as 'veryemotional?As for after the play,

Mikotowicz is afraid. He holdsthat there is always a certainnostalgia after a play's last

night, and that this time itwill be harder.

"Martiage " represented forMikotowicz personal tragedyand creative triumph. Itwasthebridge to his healing. All it once,the play bmughtto life the agonyofdivorce and a continual break-down of commitment..

It also resurrected the joyof time spent with a child andthe finding of inner strength.

Bill Corbin is a Senior His-tory major who decided hewanted to check out what goeson behind the scenes.If! don't know what anything

is about, I've got to do it. Peopleare afraid to sign up for theatercourses because they're afraidthey will have to act," Corbinsaid. Corbin isenrolled in Merritt's"Fundamentals of Theater Prac-tice"dass and learns about techni -cal aspects of play production in ahands-on way.

"People wonder how thingsget done. I still wonder howthings get done," Corbin said.These "laboratories" are

critical to developing a totalunderstanding of the theater.Often, Maine Masque will bringin guest artists to design light-ing, costumes or makeup for a

show. Quirion says these art-ists often have different tech-niques which students are ea-ger to learn and use. But thislearning comes from immedi-ate observation and practice.'Theater is so hands on. You

have to come in to do it. Youcan't learn painting from a text-book," Quirion said.

You may think that tec.hiesare envious of the actors who getthe applause and the congratu-lations. To a certain extent, thisis true. But Quirion maintains apositive outlook about it."We don't get the applause

but if it's good, people will re-member it," she said.

Packard said there is a si-lent appreciation for tech-work,but he wishes that they werenot taken for granted."The tech crew goes unno-

ticed as to their contributions.The actors go home one nightand the next night, the set isthere. Being a part of the techcrew should be a requirementof everyone involved in the the-ater,* he said.

I have two words for you,Mikezi_..spare us. What possiblymakes. you think that we, the otherstudents at UMaine, really carehow you feel? After all, accordingto you, we're all so conscious ofhow we look that we probablydon't even read The Campus. Hell,half of us probably can't. Luckyfor you:-

I can't believe that someone asintelligent as you (or so I thought)

could use a public forum to embar-rass yourself so completely.

But then, you didn't includeGeeks in your Field Guide. Luckyfor you.

And Mike, why are you usingThe Campus to air your oh-so-prejudice views? Maybe youshould start a journal. Or even con-sider therapy.

And one last bit of advice, Mr.Reagan. Remember that in the pro-fession of journalism, it's not whatyou know—it's who you know.Lucky for you.

Academic conference productiveTo the editor

As active students on campuswe were asked to attend the Sys-tem-Wide Conference on improv-ing the quality of undergraduateeducation through teaching andlearning.

This was a two day confer-ence, with facilities donated bythe Sugarloaf Mountain Corpo-ration and supported by the Edu-cation Commission of the States/PEW Project, which involvedopen communication betweenBoard of Trustees members, ad-ministrators, faculty members,and students.

In our opinion, it was an ex-tremely positive and productiveexperience for the University ofMaine System community. -

First of all, being removed

from the academic environmentwas conducive to the develop-ment of open and honest commu-nication.

As students we learned thatadministrators and faculty mem-bers have the same concerns aboutthe quality of teaching.

Among the most discussedpolicies and practices that inhibitquality teaching were:• Emphasis of research/publica-

tions over teaching• Large class sections• Faculty evaluations by peers

and students• Tenuring processes• Poor (absence of) advising• Inconsistent academic proce-

dures across academic programs.Secondly, we discussed policies/

practices that enhance the quality ofteaching. Those would include:

• New faculty orientation• Student evaluations that allow

for critique of teaching skills• Presidential Teaching Award• Open communication among

administrators, faculty and studentsThe University community

needs to support these policies andpractices and improve upon them.Continuing discussion and revisionof these pedagogical (look it up ifyou have to; we did) issues withinput from all areas of our campusis essential to improved teachingand learning.

Don't judgeby fashionTo the editor:

In response to Michael Re-agan's editorial in the Novem-ber 18th issue, I'd like to pointout one thing. He states that forthese people who are makingthese terrible fashion faux-pas,high school is never really over.Well, Michael, high school isover for these fashion offend-ers, but obviously it isn't for yousince you still judge by appear-ance. I'd like to see how youdress so that I know that I willnever dress outside of yourguidelines.

For Saturday November 23

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY •You are o happy, contagiously optimiSticperson, and your upbeat personality mOtesyou a sought after companion everywiereyou go. Fair-minded and honest in your deal-ings with others, it's often hard for you tobelieve that others aren't always as honestwith you. Beware of gullibility!

Since it was a non-binding ques-tion, the vote will not change thecurrent system unless the Depart-ment of Public Safety and the park-ing committee decide to follow it.

Brent Littlefield, vice-presidentof student government, said he plansto use the results of this referendumas a mandate suggesting a change inthe parking policy to DPS.

The final referendum asked, "Doyou feel that Interim President Hittshould become the permanent pres-ident of the University of Maine

Sarah Weddington from page 1 Budget from page 1

from interfering in those thingsthat we hold most dear."

Weddington said there are twoways the Supreme Court couldoverturn Roe v. Wade. One wouldbe to declare there is no right toprivacy.

"That is the argument somepeople have made. There is noword 'privacy' in the constitution.There is no statement about abor-tion or contraception; this is some-thing the Supreme Court has madeup. So the Supreme Court couldsay privacy does not apply to abor-tion, therefore the states could doanything they want," she said.

Weddington said the other op-tion the Supreme Court has is tosay there is a right to privacy, butthat states have compelling rea-sons to regulate abortion.

"Either way, it does not auto-matically make abortion illegal. Itsends it back to the states," Wed-dington said.

She said it would make abor-tions illegal or virtually impossibleto obtain in some states, while itwould still be available in otherstates. She said Washington staterecently put Roe v. Wade into statelaw through public referendum be-cause "they didn't want to wait tosee what the Supreme Court does."

Weddington said she and Roev. Wade supporters have been put-ting off challenges to the case aslong as possible, but said if thecourt is going to overturn it, theyshould do it now, before the next

presidential election."We believe there are lots of

people in the country who wantabortion to be legal, and if it isoverturned they will have to facethe fact that who gets elected tooffice is the key to what is going tohappen next. I frankly think Bushwould like them to wait," she said.

There is no way, however, tomake the court hear the case beforethe election, she said.

Weddington said the main rea-son people object to abortion is notbecause it is a liberal or conserva-tive argument."A true conservative position

is that it is not the government'sbusiness," she said.

She added it was not the positionof a particular political party, notingthat the Young Republicans took apro-choice position over the summer.

"The reasons people give mecomes down to a.religious faith,"she said, adding that people's reli-gious beliefs often conflict.

"The difference is they havetaken a leap of faith I have nottaken, and I don't believe theyshould be able to force their opin-ion on others," she said.

Concerning the abortion oppo-nents stationed around the concerthall, she said, "I appreciate thatthose of you here have been quietin a silent protest."

One protester, geology Profes-sor Terry Hughes, said "It is amatter of compassion" both beforeand after the birth of a child. He

said he and his wife, sometimeswithout financial assistance, havetaken pregnant women into theirhome, some who had had multipleabortions, caring and providing forthem until the child is born.

"People who value every humanlife are responsible for providingcare for these women. Some havetaken these steps to do it. We havefallen short, of course," he said.

He said the situation could bemanaged by the government butthat Title 10, which subsidizesPlanned Parenthood clinics, makesthe problem worse, partially byabsolving men who act irresponsi-bly from their legal obligations.

In closing, Weddington said,"The reason why I'm here is I'mscared. I do believe that within twoyears, Roe v. Wade will not stand.Don't know if they'll overturn it,or if they'll make it an empty shell,but I don't think it will stand.

"We've been able to save abor-tion for twenty years in the court.Not any longer."

She said Judge Thomas' youthis a problem, but that changing themake-up of the court is not theanswer. She said steps like the pro-posed Freedom of Choice Act, forwhich there will be a rally in Wash-ington on April 5, 1992, and othergrassroots and legislative acts, willprobably accomplish the most.

"Americans have never givenup a freedom once gained, and Icannot believe they would give upthis one," she said.

Hitt said these cuts to the univer-sity would, in the short run, bear a"devastating blow," to the campuscommunity.

"Up until now we've managedto absorb the cuts, but now we haveno more rabbits to pull out of thehat," he said.

In the long run, these budget cutswould be "very tmubiesome," Hitt said."We have $6.5 million in pay in-

creases that we owe to faculty andprofessional staff, over the next twoyears—money we don' thave," he said.

"How much farther can tuition_.go up, before we start denying edu-cation to students," Hitt said.

According to Kent Price, assis-tant to the Chancellor, the UMainesystem receives approximately$144.5 million from the state.

Willis Lyford, Governor McK-eman's press secretary, said theAppropriation Committee's budgetproposal posed "difficult decisions"for UMaine officials.

"It was the governor's requestthat all state agencies cut 10 percentfrom their operating budget, as anapproach to this shortfall," he said.

"How these cuts at the universitylevel are implemented is at the discre-tion of the Board of Trustees. We arein the hopes that the Trustees make thecuts that will he the least offensive andwill best preserve the educational qual-ity," he said.

"This budget proposal is hope-lessly flawed and short-sighted. Theimpact of the $11 million cut to theUMaine system and the $3-4 mil-lion cut to the state's technical col-leges will be devastating. We needto make an honest investment ineducation," he said.

According to Lyford, McKer-nan hopes this budget proposal,along with many others, will bevoted on by the House and Senatebefore Thanksgi ving. The date how-ever, is still tentative.

According to Collins, the BOTwill make a more specific decision asto how to implement the budget cuts.

"I' m not realistic that this will turnaround, but I'm hopeful," she said.

downed visiting Alaska-Fairbanks 6-5Thursday night before an opening nightcrowd of 4,276 in the partially-completedAlfond Arena.

UMaine jumped ahead early on the firstcollegiate goal by speedy forward WayneConlan, as the newcomer banged home aloose puck in front of the Nanooks net 9:38into the opening period.

"It's great to play with Kent (Salfi) andMartin (Robitaille). We played well in thethird period at BU Saturday and kept itgoing tonight," Conlan said.

"Playing with those guys lets me go to thenet more often where I can use my speed."

Conlan was whistled off for a penalty atthe 15:32 mark of the period and the BlackBear penalty killing unit took over and ex-tended the lead.

First Scott Pellerin and Martin Robitaillebuzzed Fairbanks goalie Todd Henderson,as Robitaille hit the cross bar with 16 min-utes gone.

A minute later with UMaine keeping thepressure on, Henderson couldn't handle a loosepuck in his own zone and Kent Salfi poked theloose puck through his legs and into the net fora shorthanded goal, making the score 2-0.

The score stayed that way into the sec-ond period, but not for long as Jean-YvesRoy scored his sixth goal on the year, de-flecting a Chris Imes shot from the point.

UMaine set for season opener at No. ArizonaCoach Rudy Keeling awaits letter of intent from 6-foot-4 guard Terrance HuntBy Chad FinnSports Writer

The University of Maine men's basket-ball team opens its eagerly anticipated reg-ular season Saturday in Flagstaff, Arizona,taking on the Northern Arizona UniversityLumberjacks.

The Black Bears, picked by several na-tional basketball magazines to finish eitherfirst or second in the North Atlantic Confer-ence, hope to get a good jump on thosepredictions with a win Saturday.

UMaine Coach Rudy Keeling said hethinks his team will be ready to play.

"We've got our offense down pretty wellnow," said Keeling. "Defensively, I thinkwe are comfortable either in our man-to-man and or our zone. We should be ready."

The Black Bears are led by senior cap-tain and point guard Marty Higgins, who iscoming off of a 15-point, 6-assist effortagainst the USA Verich Reps Sunday. Hig-gins holds the season (168) and career (457)assist records at UMaine. He also contribut-ed 8.9 points per game last season.

Black Bear Notes-•UMaine has several nagging injuries

heading into Saturday's game. Marty Hig-gins (groin), Fritz Marseille (back), KennyBarnes (back) and Rossie Kearson (ankle)should all play versus the Lumberjacks,although Keeling said Kearson probablywon't see action "unless it's a necessity."•On a more 'positive note. the Black

Bo says 'no' to footballBy John NadelAP Sports Writer

Los Angeles (APP)— Steve Wright, whothrew a lot of blocks for Bo Jackson from hisright tackle position, seemed relieved at thenews that his former teammate is finishedwith football.

"It's probably a good idea," Wright saidWednesday at the Los Angeles Raiders'practice facility in El Segundo, Calif. "Hedoesn't need it."

Jackson, who turns 29 on Nov. 30, saidTuesday in Chicago that he's strictly a one-sport athlete from now on, and that sport isbaseball."As far as I'm concerned, I have to do

what my doctors told me," Jackson said. "Ican't argue with it."

A Heisman Trophy winner at Auburn in1985, Jackson played four seasons with theRaiders, rushing for 2,782 yards on 515carries and catching 40 passes for 352 yards.He scored 18 touchdowns — 16 on runs andtwo on pass receptions.

"It was just a real joy to block for some-body who hit a hole that fast," Wright said."You stay in front of your Man for a secondand Bo was gonej.

Jackson's announcement that he wouldnot play football again was made at a Chica-go sporting-goods store featuring his athlet-ic equipment. It came a month after he failed

a physical with the Raiders.A 6-foot-1, 230-pounder with blinding

speed, Jackson sustained what turned out tobe a career-ending hip injury in the Raiders'20-10 victory over Cincinnati in an NFLplayoff game last Jan. 13 when he wastackled at the end of a long run.

He gained 77 yards on six carries beforebeing injured.

"You had to think all along his doctorswere going to recommend he not play thegame," Raiders coach Art Shell said. "Obvi-ously, they told him he shouldn't play foot-ball anymore, and he's going to live with that.

"The guy was a phenomenal footballplayer. If he had played 10 years in theleague, full-time or part-time, he would havedone some great things.

"He's so explosive. Every time he getshis hands on the ball, he can hit a home run,just like he does in baseball.

"We'll miss him. Hopefully, he'll have agood career the rest of the way in baseballand have a healthy life."

Jackson was released by the Kansas CityRoyals in the spring after the team learnedthe extent of his injury. The Chicago WhiteSox signed him and he joined the club inSeptember, batting .225 in 71 at-bats. Hehad three home runs and 14 RBIs.

Jackson played more than four seasonswith the Royals, batting .250 with 109 hom-ers and 313 RBIs.

Braves' Pendleton NL MVPBy Ed ShearerAP Sports Writer

ATLANTA (AP) — Manager Bobby Coxsays the Atlanta Braves "wouldn't have comeclose" to winning the National League pen-nant without Terry Pendleton.

Pendleton, a free-agent acquisition whobecame a leader on and off the field for theBraves, won the NL Most Valuable PlayerAward on Wednesday."He absolutely deserved it," Cox said.

-Terry's a special guy. They talk about teamleaders, but he really is. Barry Bonds wouldhave been a worthy recipient, but I think Terryabsolutely deserved it."

Pendleton won by 15 points over Bonds inthe closest voting by the Baseball WritersAssociation of America since 1979.

Pendleton had 12 first place votes, 10seconds and two third for 274 points in theballoting. Bonds, who won the award last yearand led Pittsburgh to its second straight NLEast title, had 259 points on 10 firsts, 10seconds, one third and three fourths.

"I never dreamed about winning a Nation-al League MVP award," Pendleton said dur-ing a news conference.

"This award is going to me and it's in myname, but my teammates, Bobby Cox and JohnSchuerholz and the rest of the Braves deservea lot of credit for this," he said. "If we hadfinished second in the National League, I don'tthink I'd be standing here. I think that award

probably would have gone to Barry Bonds orBobby Bonilla or someone. The way our teamplayed this season and the way I played thisseason definitely had a lot to do with it."

Bonilla, another member of the Pirateswho lost the championship series to the Braves,finished third in the voting with 191 points.

Tom Glavine, named the Cy Young Awardwinner last week and Cox, voted Manager ofthe Year earl ier by the Associated Press and theBBWA are other Braves to gamer NL awards.

Pendleton, 31, won the league batting titleby hitting .319, 52 points above his careeraverage. The Atlanta third baseman also hit acareer-high 22 home runs and had 86 RBIs.

Bonds, who hit .292 with 25 homers and116 RBIs, said from Sweden, where he'svacationing, that he thought he deserved tobecome the league's first repeat winner sincethe Braves' Dale Murphy in 1982-83 but...

"I'm happy for him," Bonds said of Pend le-ton. "Terry's a good athlete.. and the Braveswere the story in baseball. They were theCinderella team, they went from the cellar tofirst place."

The last time the voting was closer was in1979, when Willie Stargell of Pittsburgh andKeith Hernandez of St. Louis each got 216votes, the only tie in MVP voting.

Only two Braves other than Pendleton andMurphy have been voted MVP. Bob Elliottwon it in 1947 when the team was in Bostonand Hank Aaron won in 1957 when Bravesplayed in Milwaukee.
