Theater department fate under reviewBy Jennifer Gundersen

Staff Writer

Rocked by the news of a possi-

ble suspension, the University of

Maine theater department is now

banding together and focusing on

making the improvements neces-

sary to save the program.

"We were really caught off

guard," Dan Krohne, a fourth year

theater major, said. "But we did

realize some changes were need-

ed."The possible suspension of the

theater department, which was

announced Monday, Sept. 17, has

halted the admission of any new

theater majors. There will also be

a semester-long review of the

department before a formal deci-

sion is made about the future of

the department on campus.

"I have been impressed by the

students I have spoken to,"

Rebecca Eilers, the dean of theCollege of Liberal Arts andSciences said. "They have a bal-anced perspective about the pro-gram and its strengths and weak-nesses. They are very dedicated."

The preliminary steps of sus-pension were initiated by theUniversity of Maine Sytem'soffice of the Vice Chancellor ofAcademic Affairs as a result ofthe findings of a study of thedepartment conducted two yearsago. This was done in conjunctionwith a theater department self-study."We are going by what was

found in that review and report,"Eilers said. "It is my responsibili-ty to take seriously all issues ofquality."

The two-member review teamof Robert Welk and DarwinPrioleau interviewed both stu-dents and faculty. They recog-

nized the talent within the depart-ment, but noticed a lack of leader-ship and communication prob-lems were hampering the successof the program.

"Faculty credentials appear to

be on line with those of faculty in

similar institutions. ..They all have

talent, experience and desire to

teach that is requisite for main-

taining a good program," Prioleau

wrote in the report.However, the team decided a

lack of leadership among the fac-ulty and no sense of a shared mis-sion or cohesive plan for thefuture was why the program hadfailed to grow and improve.

The department's overall cli-mate was described as "negativeand antagonistic" due to a break-down between the faculty andadministration.

Saying goodbyeFamily, friends, fansremember Shawn WalshBy Jim Leonard andAmanda Hebert

For The Maine Campus

For those connected with theUniversity of Maine, Shawn

Walsh will always be known as"coach." For those who knewhim best, he will be rememberedas husband, father and friend.

With more than 1,000 family,friends, players and colleagues inattendance, Maine hockey coachShawn Walsh was laid to rest onSaturday in Bangor.

The day began with a Mass ofChristian Burial at St. John'sCatholic Church. Like the man itwas intended for, this celebrationof life ran the gamut of emotions.

"Shawn's life is now changed.His suffering is over, he's now inheaven," Reverend Gerard G.Gosselin, who presided over theservice, said.

Gosselin then set the tone forthe ,

"And, if I may add, he's prob-ably telling God how thingsshould be run," he said.

Kevin Birch.Walsh's brother Barry, a pro-

fessional pianist, honored his

brother with an emotional rendi-

tion of "Shenandoah."Organization, color and inspi-

ration, things Shawn Walsh pro-vided in abundance to thosearound him.

Friend Ted Sator recounted atime at Bowling Green StateUniversity when Walsh took overa struggling softball team andhelped organize its victory overthe city champs. Unbeknownstto the opposition, Walsh hadsecured the services of sixBowling Green graduates whohappened to be professional base-bMl players. The game turnedinto a rout.

"Little did they know thatthey'd just been ShawnWalshed," Sator remarked tolaughter.

Walsh never let his illnessdefeat him; even in his last dayshe was defined by his drive, hisfaith, his team and his family."He never lost," Peter

Metcalf, a junior defenseman andca tan of the h cke team, said.

when people say he lost to can-cer. He didn't loose, he just did-n't win."

Former Black Bear Brendan

Walsh typified the emotions of

the day with his account of expe-

riences with his former coach.In one instance, Brendan was

summoned by Walsh to help winover a prized recruit. In a one-on-one planning session, Walshtold Brendan the recruit wasplanning to be a forestry major.

"Tell him about the forestry

major and how much you love

it," Walsh said.

Hitchner constructionraises safety concerns

From the start, the HitchnerHall construction project campushas been plagued with controver-sy. A proposal for an addition wasadopted last year in order to housethe food science and human nutri-tion department and to buildbiotechnology laboratories, butthe process has been repeatedlyhindered by various complica-tions.

The initial plan had to be

revised in order to divert con-struction away from an elm

THE WORLD

BEYONDWANE

By Kevin Murphy,Lenny Savino andChris Mondics

Knight Ridder NewspapersWASHINGTON, D.C. —

Hoping to unravel the back-grounds and identities of 19alleged hijackers in the Sept. 11terrorist attacks, AttorneyGeneral John Ashcroft releasedtheir photos Thursday and soughtthe public's help.

Federal investigators alsocontinued tracking leads stem-ming from the arrests of morethan 20 people nationwide whoallegedly were involved in fraud-ulently obtaining commercialtrucking licenses to haul haz-ardous material.

FBI Director Robert Muellersaid the FBI has not linked any ofthose people to the hijackingattacks on the World Trade Centerand the Pentagon, but he said theagency is continuing to investi-gate."We are working hard to iden-

tify associates of hijackers whomay pose a threat to this nation,"Mueller said. "But I want to askand urge every American to joinus in heading off any possibleterrorist attacks in the future."

By James M. O'NeillKnight Ridder NewspapersPHILADELPHIA — The

recent terrorist attacks haveprompted federal calls for greaterscrutiny of the half-million for-eign students on American soil,which could make it harder forthem to study here in the future.

The Bush administration hasintroduced legislation to make it

easier for law enforcement toobtain information on all stu-dents, regardless of nationality.

Educators nationwide fear theproposals will staunch the flow offoreign students to the United States— and the estimated $12 billion thestudents provide the schools andeconomy. The loss could forceschools to cut back on programs thataffect academic opportunities forAmerican students.

Student groups are decryingthe moves toward increasedscrutiny as an attack on studentprivacy and an invitation for lawenforcement to start profilingMiddle Eastern students.

By Scott PowersThe Orlando SentinelORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando

hotel magnate Harris Rosen isurging University of CentralFlorida officials to considerextraordinary measures in lightof the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks,including background checks onstudents and lockdown plans forthe entire campus.

"If something awful couldhappen, are we doing everythingreasonable?"

Rosen asked duringWednesday's Board of Trusteesmeeting."Could we wake up tomorrow

and say, If only we could havedone more?"

The short answer, from UCFPolice Chief Richard P. Turkiewicz,President John Hitt and other offi-cials, was that the university wasdoing everything reasonable to pro-tect students and to prevent and yetprepare for an emergency.

Travel questions reach UMaineBy Rebeckah Sergi

For The Maine Campus

Since the attack on the WorldTrade Center and the Pentagonon Sept. 11, air travel securityhas come under extreme scruti-ny. All airports are heighteningsecurity and taking extra precau-tionary measures, translating tolonger lines and more rules forcustomers. These new safetyguidelines include discontinu-ance of curbside and off-airportcheck-in and removal of vehicleswithin 300 feet of passengerbuildings. Many of these newregulations are turning peopleaway from flying.

Though ,in many places air-lines have seen a sales decrease,local travel companies do notseem to be affected by thedecrease.

Donna Demmons, a travelconsultant from Main 1 Travel,said their business with airlinetickets has been as busy as ever,but that does not necessarilymean that people are not nervousabout flying.

"Last week [Main 1 Travel]received many phone calls aboutconcerns with new travel proce-dures," Demmons said.

Pressure on the government toup security standards has intensi-fied in the past three weeks.

Maine state Rep. JohnBaldacci is a member of theHouse Aviation Subcommittee.This committee has had manyhearings in the past few weeks toconsider the airline industry'srole in the recent terroristattacks.

In a Sept. 24 press release,Baldacci wrote, "It is my hopethat the hearings will focus atten-tion on the need to federalize air-port security and establishgreater uniformity in the waypassengers, baggage and cargoare checked and cleared forflights."

Baldacci also supports the AirTransportation Safety andStabilization Act, which isintended to strengthen the airlineindustry, related industries andthe American economy. This billwill allot $5 million in emer-

gency funding to keep America'sairlines afloat and $10 billion tohelp airlines while their passen-ger numbers are down. Thesemeasures are being taken to helpensure a stable economy and tohelp Americans regain confi-dence in the airline system.

Congress is not the only onetaking measures to secure airsafety. Airline officials are alsotrying to make passengers feelmore comfortable by havingmore check-in procedures and bysearching carry-on bags morecarefully.

At Bangor InternationalAirport, armed Air NationalGuardsmen are being placedthroughout the airport toensure stability and to reassurepassengers.

Students who are planning tofly should arrive at BIA at leasttwo hours before their scheduleddeparture. •

New items that passengers arenot allowed to carry-on includecigarette lighters, tweezers, nailclippers or files, razors, needlesand pins.

story involved an out-of-stateeighteen-year-old first-yearUniversity of Maine studentwho became inebriated anddropped a rock through anunoccupied police cruiser's rearwindow. The young man wascharged with multiple crimes,including a felony charge.

Regardless of my entreaties,the district attorney's officewas tenacious in wanting afelony conviction and jail time,even though the petrified andyoung perpetrator had no prioroffenses.

Coach Walsh heard aboutthe situation from the parent ofanother student and called thedistrict attorney himself.

The student obtained sub-stance abuse counseling and isnow rebuilding his life back inhis home state.Some readers are no doubt

thinking that this wayward stu-dent was either a member ofthe hockey team or at leastsome outstanding prospect.The truth is, coach Walsh nevermet the student.

Coach had simply carriedhis ever-present concern for thestudents, and the university, toan individual who needed sup-port. When he thought aninjustice was being done, hewas willing to becomeinvolved.

Coach, thank you for yoursincerity and for your highstandard for fairness.

Former student soldiers reunite to rememberBy Kelly Michaud

Editor in Chief

Fifty-seven years after leav-ing the University of Maine tofight in World War II, theyreturned to Maine. In 1943 and'44 a group of student soldierslived, marched and attendedclasses together at the Universityof Maine as they trained for war.

While most men their agewere practicing war maneuversand packing their bags to beshipped out, the members of theArmy Specialized TrainingProgram were sharpening theiracademic and physical skills.

They were part of a group ofsoldiers the Army began singlingout in December 1942 for theirexceptional IQs to be trained toreplace the engineers the Armypredicted would be lost if WorldWar II continued much longer.

The Army considered these men"soldiers first, students second."

By March 1944, however,casualties were mounting rapidlyin Europe, the ASTP was aban-doned and the soldier studentswere shipped to the front lineswhere many of them were killed.On Friday and Saturday, those

still living and able to travel cameback to Orono to reunite andremember their fallen brothers.

Thirty-four men and 26 wivesmet at the Black Bear Inn inOrono, Friday night. Saturdaymorning, they held a memorialservice, recognizing the sacrifice52 of their comrades made.

When the ASTP soldiers leftOrono to fight in WWII they werebarely 20 years old. Now in theirlate 70s, the men were finally ableto share stories and memories oftheir time at Maine.

Robert Guttay, a retiredUniversity of Connecticut pro-fessor, lived in the Sigma Nu fra-ternity house during his time inthe ASTP.

He found his roommate fromSigma Nu, George Hizney, at thereunion.

Hizney, who now lives inPennsylvania, was the smaller ofthe two back in '44, weighing 120pounds. He said Guttay used todrag him around on his bottom topolish the floors in the house.

While the men had to keep

their quarters cleanand study for theirengineering courses,they managed tomake the best oftheir time at Maine."We found an old

pair of cross-countryskis in the attic of thehouse and that winterwe took turns slidingdown the slope infront of our house,"Guttay said. "Most ofus were only so-so atdownhill skiing inthose old strap-onskis but our southernguys were helpless inthe snow."

The campus themen saw this week-end was a differentplace than the onethey left. Most of theacademic buildingsthat now border themall hadn't beenbuilt. A few of the fra-ternity houses wherethey once lived are nolonger standing andwear and tear made afew hard to recognize."Wow, this place

has grown," Hy Meader saidSaturday morning as he walkedacross campus. He lived in OakHall in 1944. "I haven't seen it in57 years — that's a lifetime."

Saturday morning, after shar-ing stories about the battles theyfought in, their time in prisoner-of-war camps and where theirlives took them after the war,they gathered in Minsky RecitalHall on campus.

U.S. Rep. John Baldacci, whohelped locate some of the men forthe reunion, was scheduled togive the memorial address. Hewas unable to attend, however,because the memorial servicecoincided with UMaine men'shockey coach Shawn Walsh'sfuneral service. UMaine PresidentPeter S. Hoff, who was set toreceive the memorial plaque list-ing the men who died, was unableto attend for the same reason.

Galen Cole, former mayor ofBangor and a WWII veteranaddressed the group.

"Those days of World War IIwere hell and you and I can attestto that," Cole said Saturday. "Noone else in this country can tellthe story as you can."

Former ASTPers Jim Drakeof New Jersey and John Forest ofDelaware presented the bronzeplaque to Robert Kennedy, vicepresident for Academic Affairsand Provost.

In addition to the names, theASTP sign, which the men woreon their uniforms, was on theplaque. It depicts the sword ofvalor and the lamp of knowledge."We didn't know the sword of

valor would take over so quickly,but it did," Forest said during hispresentation.

Out of the 52 names on theplaque, only the family of one ofthe men, George H. HuntingtonII, was able to attend the service.

New semester,new class feesStudents question fallsemester fee changesBy Kristin Saunders

For The Maine Campus

The College of Liberal Arts

and Sciences has enacted a new

flat curricula fee effective for the

fall 2001 semester. This sur-

charge will replace the individual

course fees. These charges are

geared toward enhancing the

technology provided for stu-

dents.The costs were estimated by

how technology intensive each

individual major is, said Rebecca

Eilers, the dean of the Liberal

Arts and Sciences. The curricula

fees range—from $25 to $75 per

semester. Majors that use more

technology are charged more,

Eilers said.The fees are intended to better

prepare students for the work

place by providing the best tech-

nology, Eilers said. Students

should be able to see how their

money is spent.Each new piece of equip-

ment purchased with money

generated from the fee will be

labeled within the major, allow-

ing the students to benefit

"But coach, I'm a communi-

Brendan said. "I've never been

in a forest."True to form, Walsh was not

rattled. "OK, OK, let's go to

Plan B. I'll talk to him about the

program and the rink, then tell

him your roommate is a forestry

major," said Walsh. "And say

something nice about the trees

around here."Even as the crowd laughed at

the memory, Brendan became

emotional. He said speaking at

the service reminded him of how

he felt at around 5:30 p.m. just

before each game, and how he

remembered Walsh inspiring

them to be their best.

"He'd call us in; we'd have

pre-game jitters," Brendan said.

from page 1

"He'd calm us down with his

swagger and confidence."

Brendan then had trouble fin-

ishing as he choked with emotion.

"Ile had such a huge impact

on my life."Maine assistant coach Grant

Standbrc)ok remarked that Walsh

understood his situation but

chose to live his life to the

fullest."He knew he was tip-toeing

on the edge of an abyss,"

Standbrook said. "But it never

kept him from dancing."

Kevin Walsh, whose gift of

stem cells helped prolong his

brother's fight, closed the eulo-gy, saying something that much

of the crowd was thinking."Thank you Shawn, you're

my hero."

Becomea senator

Each semester, undergraduatestudents are charged a $35 activ-ity fee. A charge of $17.50 is alsoadded to each graduate student'sbill for this purpose. The money,all $500,000 worth, goes to theGeneral Student Senate to be dis-tributed to student boards, organ-izations and entertainment.

Right now, 12 people are incharge of that budget, which is nowdown to about $61,000 of unallo-cated funds, according to StudentGovernment President Brett Hall.Having only 12 active senatorsplus the Student Government cabi-net means less than half of the GSSseats are filed. Thus, there are cur-rently 12 people making the deci-sions for about 10,000 students.

The GSS at the University ofMaine can be seen as a microcosmof the U.S. government, whichrelies upon a set of checks and bal-ances to make intelligent and fairdecisions regarding the passage oflaws and allocation of funds. This isonly made more powerful when thenumber of people involved is con-ducive to presenting a wide varietyof viewpoints. With so few senatorsthe debate, at best, is narrowed.

It does not have to be this wayfor much longer. GSS will be hold-ing elections for senate seats the sec-ond week of October. For this tohappen, students need to getinvolved. Each year, many senateseats remain empty putting too fewpeople in charge to too many impor-tant decisions.

These are decisions about issuesthat affect all of us: what studentorganizations are allowed on cam-pus, where our student activity feegoes, who comes to entertain usand what is going to happen forBumstock. Issues on the agendathis year include a redefinition ofthe role of the vice president forStudent Entertainment, how sena-tors will be elected in the future andwhere that $61,000 of unallocatedfunds will go. It is up to the stu-dents to make sure these decisionsare debated and made with all stu-dent viewpoints in mind.

Leave your cold at homeClassroom phlegm the cause of discomfort and name-callingLast Friday I sat in history class

and listened carefully while theguy who sits behind me pulled alime green substance from hislungs and sprayed it across theback of my neck. He gagged, hehacked, he coughed; his throatmade funny sounds. He gurgled,he sneezed, he wheezed and hesniffed. All the while, I sat captivewithin my wrap-around desk,sensing a fine mist of bacteriaseeking out my untainted nose andmouth as I suppressed a horrifiedscream. I was unable to move,unable to run screaming down thehallway and bathe my newly-pol-luted body in a hot shower; unable,even, to slap this diseased ape

across his dripping nose."Sweet Jesus," I prayed, low-

ering my head to the desk. "Iknow I've never been to church,but if you get me through thiscoming weekend healthy I'll go,God. I promise I will spread theword of your holy Love!"

But God, perhaps sensing theprecept of my fair-weather faith,

turned his cheek and to, by thenext morning I had developed asore throat, a stuffed nose and asteadily-multiplying volume ofthick phlegm in my sinuses.Thank you, sick bastard boyfrom history class.

Letters to the Editor*PEACE RALLYI was glad to see many

UMaine students in front ofFogler Library to participate inthe National Day of Action onThursday, Sept. 20, to organizeagainst retaliatory violence,racism and hateful demagogueryin the wake of the events ofSept. 11.

Most of the speakers, myselfincluded, argued that an under-standing of past U.S. foreign andeconomic policy would help theUnited States to avoid similar

tragedy in the future.Not one of the policies is

meant to make U.S. more secureor free. The word out ofWashington, D.C. is that thisprotracted and undefined waragainst terrorism will effectivelydestroy Social Security, ensuredrilling in the Arctic and providecover for U.S. government ter-rorism around the world.

What could we do? The U.S.could deprive far-right theocra-

cies and dictatorial regimes

access to trade, weapons and the

like. The U.S. could signal ashift in Israel-Palestine policythat supports peaceful self-deter-mination for both nations. TheU.S. could ratify all 21 UnitedNations human rights treaties,instead of four.

FOR THE MAINE CAMPUS

It's great to be back at the oneand only University of Maine,home of the Black Bears—sym-bols of strength and agility. Justlook around the mall at noon andone can see the jubilant faces ofstudents dressed in the latest fallfashions and the fake tans ofthose who continue to persuadethemselves that summer has notyet left.

It overwhelms me with joy tosee hundreds of students resem-bling and portraying with theirthoughts and ideologies what itmeans to be a college student inthe beginning of the 21st century.Oh, hold on for just one minute,I have to go turn down the bassto this Gwen Stefani and Evesong before all consciousnessbounces itself right out of myhead. OK, now where was I? I

was just thinking about how Ican't get enough air at partiesbecause my black leather jacketsuctions itself around my all-to-big biceps, forcing my 10 poundsof hair gel to exude down myface. No, wait, I'm sorry I justgot a little sidetracked, that was-n't what I was talking about. Iwas discussing the fact that everytime I go to step outside the frontdoor my heart warms itselfbecause I know exactly whatkind of people I will encounterthroughout the day. It makes mefeel so blessed knowing every-one here looks the same andthinks as one mind, not individu-ally. Could I ask for more? Youknow, this is a college campusand these are the routines andthought patterns college kidsshould follow. No one hereshould have to think for his orherself; we can all think as onesynonymous person. I just can'tget over how happy I am aboutall of this, so I figured I wouldshare my thoughts with all of

from their cholesterol-laden pipework. Here's a toast to those braveprofessors who fend off a mildcase of pneumonia only to hacktheir way through an un-intelligi-ble lecture, simultaneously con-taminating every one of their stu-dents and coating the dry eraseboard with slimy, infectious goop.

To all these sick souls, I saluteyou—and ask politely, wouldyou please, pretty please, stay thehell home?

Eat some chicken soup, drinksome orange juice, pop somepills, take some morphine, watchsome "Ricki Lake," watch some"Jerry Springer," watch somemidget porn for God sakes; juststay home.

The fact is, encouraging sickfolks to cough into their hands orelbows just isn't cutting it any-more. Those little, wiggling

amoebas are tricky! They'llsquirm around your head, out ofyour elbows, across your handsand into someone else's system.Trust me on this one: they don'tpay much attention to your hol-low attempts at prevention. A coldvirus, like Ricki Martin, isdesigned for one purpose, and onepurpose only—to take over yourworld with seemingly benign, yethorribly debilitating dexterity.And like the Latin pop sensation,these germs will stop at nothing.

So next time you feel a coldcreeping through your over-worked body, save all the healthysouls out there in college land:suppress the urge to battlethrough history class, tune yourtelevision into some daytimedribble and climb back into bed.

Letters to the editor from page 6

U.S. could bring the troops homeand close up useless institutionslike NATO.

More and more Americans arecoming to realize the U.S. policyantecedents to Sept. 11. Theseevents did not just come out ofthin air. If we were to acquiesceto George Woodward's demandthat it is "our duty to make thosedirectly and indirectly responsi-ble for this act of war pay withtheir lives," the U.S. would besending Ronald Reagan. GeorgeH.W. Bush. Cohn Powell,

Alexander Haig, Bill Clinton,Bill Cohen, Madeline Albrightand many others to the electricchair.

There is no kind response toMr. Woodward's racist sluragainst the people of Afghanistan:"the sick-minded men andwomen of that country who areraising the next generation to beno different" than the attackers.

Since most of the men and all ofthe women of this impoverishedand destroyed country have norights at all, I find it incompre-hensible that a humane individualwould consign the whole popula-tion to death.

I nearly lost two friends inthe World Trade Center. Myfirst ethical duty is to find howI am responsible as a personand as a citizen for what hap-pened to them. That's a muchharder task than just blamingand ranting. Each of us, as we

think long and hard about theevents of Sept. 11 and theevents of the past 25 years,should take the time to learnthe facts and explore theoptions. Then we must demandthat the United States does theright thing.

Politically incorrect, not harmfulCountry overreacts to Bill Maher's comments on cowardice

"God bless America" read themarquees outside nearly everystore in Orono and Bangor ...probably all of Maine ... proba-bly all the rest of the country.

What does that statementactually mean? I don't believethat it has any literal meaning, tothe effect that God should physi-cally bless this land. I do, how-ever, believe that it is more sub-tle than that. I think it is a way toexpress a deep love for the prin-ciples on which this country wascreated: innumerable personalfreedoms and freedom from gov-ernmental interference. Thisseems to be an idea that is rarelyexplicitly thought out because itsometimes, when it is inconven-ient, comes into conflict with thenotion of supporting the country.A case in point would be the

harsh treatment "PoliticallyIncorrect" host Bill Maher hasreceived since making what wereconstrued as anti-American com-ments on his show. Maher saidthe United States government—and, by extension, the military—is cowardly for bombing theMiddle East. He said, "We havebeen the cowards, lobbing cruisemissiles from 2,000 miles away.That's cowardly. Staying in theairplane when it hits the build-ing—say what you want aboutit—it's not cowardly."

Now, regardless of whateverthe facts of thewhether-Meier Is right

he has a right to say those things, demonize Maher for his recent maybe even nine years ago, weno matter how disagreeable they comments and to hold themmay be to anyone. Many people, above the love and blessings forhowever, seem to be thinking America. The country wastwice about the right to expression. founded on a free and vigorous

First, Federal Express and press able to say anything thatSears pulled subsequent adver- robustly contributed to the

SPORTS EDITORtising spots from the showbecause it seems that they did notwant to be associated with un-American messages. Also, theshow is currently being blackedout in about four percent of themarkets nationwide, includingWV!! in Bangor.

But these private companiesand television stations make theirmoney in a free and open "mar-ketplace of ideas," a place whereno message, within non-violentlimits, is unacceptable.Commercials, programming andcapitalism seem to prosper insuch an environment.

Maher was also criticized byWhite House Press Secretary AnFleischer: "Assuming the pressreports are right, it's a terriblething to say, and it's unfortunate.There are reminders to allAmericans that they need towatch what they do and this isnot a time for remarks like that;there never is." Fleischer, longthe mouth piece for the presidentand others in the government,should have more sensitivity to aminority or unpopular opinion suddenly necessary today and

debate. It seems, however, thatthese ideas are only popularwhen times are good. But whenthe shit hits the fan and there isnational animosity towards a for-eign foe, we all have to watchwhat we say. Free speech, thehallmark of any society interest-ed in its own self-preservation, isoften the first thing compromisedin these times of trouble.

Our ability to say and thinkthings freely has not been restrict-ed yet, like it was after the CivilWar when the ReconstructionActs placed limits on "incendiaryand libelous articles" written byjournalists. By whose standardsare incendiary and libel judged?We are headed down a slipperyslope toward restriction when wechastise people for disagreeablecommentary and the president andCongress are unified as it seemsthey are now. Our ability to criti-cize the government becomes lesspossible than in times of peace.

And now, common sportsterms are being reevaluated.Common terms like "bomb,""blitz" and "trenches" are con-sidered insensitive and may bereplaced by peace-loving editors.

POP Culture&iNfOTAINmENT•CRAZY ABOUT DAVEInstructor spins a full routine

By Jess BishopFor The Maine Campus

It's early Wednesday morn-ing. The alarm goes off at 6:15a.m., and Kelly Holyoke awak-ens to start a trip to countlessdestinations in her 16-hour day.

While most people couldn'tstomach working-such long days,the dancing Holyoke has it downto a simple science.

"I'm fine as long as I keepgoing," Holyoke said. "I don'treally know — it's just what I'vealways done."

After a quick shower and acup of coffee, Holyoke whisksaway from her Dedham homeand drops her 16-year-old sonCaleb off at Brewer High School.From there, it's a 10-minute driveto River City Dance Center, thedance studio she owns in Bangor.After 45 minutes of tending tobusiness matters, she's off toOrono to teach three classes atthe University of Maine.

Beginner ballet students startthe instructional part of the dayat 9 a.m., followed by intermedi-ate jazz and intermediate balletstudents. Classes end forHolyoke at approximately 1:30p.m., and then it's back to River

City to check messages beforegrabbing lunch on the fly.

Holyoke heads down Route1A to Ellsworth to teach four anda half hours of dance classes,before switching into dancemode herself for 8 p.m.rehearsals of "A Chorus Line."Not only does Holyoke dance

and sing in the number, but she's

also helping to choreograph themoves in the collaborationbetween the Robinson BalletCompany and the GrandAuditorium of Ellsworth.

After rehearsal ends,Holyoke drives 30 minutes backto Dedham to spend some timewith Caleb. Getting into bed atnight, she doesn't drift off tosleep after the long day, insteadconcentrating on her dialoguefor the musical.

Talking about her crazy sched-ule, Holyoke said she doesn't"ever remember wanting to doanything else." Holyoke felt shewas born a dancer and believesher destiny is "to educate, toshare and to teach the joy ofdancing."

The daughter of a squaredancer, Holyoke was enrolled insquare-dance classes at the ageof 4. Feeling the instructional

and weekends were spent onnearby exotic islands.

Stateside, she spent time inChicago, Denver and around theentire state of Maine, including astint with the Casco Bay Movers,a jazz company in Portland.

As her life progressed,Holyoke had to make a decisionto either settle in the area and

open her own studio or keep

traveling. The choice ended upbeing to stay, and in 1984, RiverCity opened its doors for the firsttime.

Since then, Holyoke hasbecome co-artistic director for theRobinson Ballet Company, whichis currently involved in producingits annual "Nutcracker Suite", as

Director first balkedat "Hearts in Atlantis"

By Terry LawsonKnight RidderNewspapers

When Scott Hicks was first

approached about directing

, "Hearts in Atlantis," his reaction,

he admits, "was not that keen."

"I knew it was based on a

Stephen King book. and I'mAfraid I may have been guilty ofa little prejudging," said Hicks, atall, rangy Australian who puthimself in the international arenawith 1996's "Shine." "But Italked to a friend who noted thatStanley Kubrick, Rob Reiner andBrian DePalma all had directedKing stories. That seemed likefairly good company to keep."

Hicks was further intriguedby the fact that the script for"Hearts," which opens nation-wide Friday, Oct. 5, was by

William Goldman, esteemedauthor of "Butch Cassidy and theSundance Kid," "The FrenchConnection" and "The PrincessBride."

Goldman pieced it togetherfrom two novellas in King's

1960s-themed collection "Heartsin Atlantis," telling the story of

an abused boy who forms a kin-ship with a mysterious boarder

who claims he's being pursuedby "Lowmen" in yellow coats.

Hicks, while in Toronto tointroduce his film to sold-outscreenings at the TorontoInternational Film FestIval, saidhe loved the writing, especiallythe scenes between the boy andthe boarder, who assumes therole of what Hicks calls "proto-father." But after consulting withhis wife and collaborator, KerryHeysen, Hicks became con-

cerned that "the story fellbetween two stools" — the sci-ence-fiction suspense tale andthe story of a boy coming of agein the 60s with help from a wisementor and his friends.

"At issue was how I broughtall this up to Bill [Goldman],who has a reputation in moreways than one," Hicks said."He's supposed. to be fiercelycommitted to his work, and any-one who has read his quite leg-endary book ['Adventures in theScreen Trade] knows he has hadfairly contentious relationships

with directors. So I was a bitfrightened. I had my speech fair-ly rehearsed, because I knew if Icouldn't articulate my reasoning,he would eat me alive."

Goldman apparently took a

Next year, the station will cel-ebrate 40 years of broadcastingfrom campus with a big birthdaybash. Currently there are 60 discjockeys hitting the radio wavescomplemented by a staff of nine."My staff is my strength,"

Station Manager Jim Leonardsaid.

The staff includes ProgramDirector Amy Bowler, MusicDirectors Paul Bosse andKaren Sanborn and ProductionManager Jason Thomas. KimMitchell and Michael Murphy

are the station advisors and

David Rosen controls the

Internet as webmaster. Bill

Ducharme rounds out the crew

as station engineer.

WMEB plays everythingfrom "death metal to jazz,"

Leonard said. Britney Spears, onthe other hand, won't ride thesewaves anytime soon.

Commercial radio favorites arekept to a minimum at the collegestation.WMEB has a firm basis in a

diverse schedule, which includes

hip-hop, RPM, world music,

blues, loud rock, jazz, reggae,

folk, punk and alternative.

Not only do they take

BREATH MINT STRIPS

PEPPERMYNT

24 Strips

ALL THE RAGEBy Jessica DiSanto

For The Maine Campus

M & M's are rumored to melt

in your mouth and not in your

hand, but we all know that the

opposite is true. If a multi-mil-

lion dollar corporation can't

prove their slogan true, how can

anyone else compete?

Good news. A new revolu-

tionary design of mints hasunleashed a technology of breath

fresheners that can dissolveinstantly in your mouth and leaveyour hands clean, even in the

hottest temperatures.The MYNTZ mint corpora-

tion has hit the market with its

latest creation of "MYNTZ

Instastripz." No more sucking or

chewing on medicine-like pills.

Just instant gratification of fresh

breath.Packaged in a small dis-

penser, the size of a matchbox,

the mints can fit into any pocketor purse.

Each dispenser contains 24green strips that resemble piecesof Scotch tape. But don't let theplastic texture fool you.

Once you pop a strip in yourmouth, the strip will start to dis-solve within seconds, like cotton

candy. You'll only be left with a

cool, mint flavor that gives fresh

breath instantly. Goodbye onion

breath.Not only are the "stripz" fun

to eat, but they contain no calo-

ries and are sugar free. So,

whether you're on a diet or just

watching your calorie intake,

MYNTZ Instastripz are one typeof mint that you can eat guilt-free.

And coffee drinkers shouldtake note: Instastripz are alsoproven to up the pH-level in yourmouth and reduce acid. Prettysweet.MYNTZ instastripz are avail-

able at most local drugstores and

cost $1.99.

and the greatest goings-on in the

wide world of sports. "Women

Talk About Sex" on Friday

nights at 8 p.m. delves into the

world of sexuality from a

women's perspective — six of

them, to be exact.Unbeknownst to many,

WMEB is also the proud title-

holder of the longest-running

college radio show in the coun-

try, thanks to DJ Mike Murphy

and his show "The Blues Bus,"

which has run since 1991 from

noon to 3 p.m. on Fridays.

The show's name comes from

the preferred travel method of

most blues artists.

"Most blues artists, more

often than not and certainly his-

torically, travel by bus rather

than air," Murphy said.

The show features new blues

and newly reissued recordings.

Some of the latest featured artists

are Craig Horton, Tommy Castroand Joanna Conner. It isMurphy's love of music that has

11

kept him at WMEB for so long.

Leonard and his staff have bigplans for the future: musicrequests via the Internet duringDJ downtime, news shows cov-ering current events and a stu-dent forum with an on-air debatebetween callers and the panel arejust a few ideas. A higher level ofquality is what the staff is tryingto produce.

"That's what Jim Leonard istrying to do, he wants to leavethe station better than when hefound it. I really respect him forthat," Casey Sprogis, hip-hopdirector, said.

Leonard's goal is to have 24hours of quality broadcasting:12hours of DJs with 20 percentpublic affairs shows and 80 per-cent music, and 12 hours of com-puter and requested music.

Leonard encourages thosepursuing a degree in communica-tions to take advantage ofWMEB and get some experi-ence. Check the WMEB folderon FirstClass for information.

Toe-tapping goodIndustrial dance show wows at MCA

By Jess BishopFor The Maine Campus

Spotlights glared down the

outline of bootprints across the

stage and up onto the walls amid

pipes, platforms and ladders.The curtains at the Maine Centerfor the Arts were pulled com-pletely away from the stage, giv-ing the indication of a worksite.

Dein Perry's idea for the TapDogs evolved 10 years ago and

since then has grown into a

world-traveling must-see for

people of all ages. The audience

filled in to be a nearly sellout

crowd, and the excitement was

apparent as the whole room

buzzed with chatter as people

admired the stage and flipped

through the program reading

about the scene that would soon

unfold before us.

There was a slight haze that

seemed to be emitting from the

bootprints, and it slowly driftedup to the balcony and surrounded

everyone sitting there. Themusic playing — a pre-recorded

tape to keep the audience enter-tained, grew louder and louder as

audience members noticed the

small group of men standing just

off to the side of the stage.

Suddenly all the lights went off,

the sound of tapping emerged in

the darkness. A few moments

the lights went up and the figures

appeared.Bringing the other five Tap

Dogs into the action was a curtain.

One foot by one foot, 10 feet

appeared underneath a long cur-tain. The feet performed a variety

of tricks and ended with one set

becoming angry with another and

taking a "bathroom break" on the

others. The curtain went up and

we were soon looking upon the six

ruggedly handsome, athletic and

daring men who would make the

show unbelievable.

Some in cutoffs, some wearingjeans, all in flannel shirts over theirtank tops, the muscles and power ofeach man was evident. To the delightof the females in the audience, eachman first took a turn dancing in thecenter of the floor, trying desperatelyto upstage his counterparts.

With the goofy one showing offhis funny antics and causing theaudience to clap to the rhythmfirst, then the next man discoing ina Travolta-esque manner, thelaughs and applause kept constant.They all took turns dancing alone,in duets and as a group. Theexpertise in their tapping was clearand their steps were flawless.

The props and sets used wereamazing, ranging from a 20-foot-high platform for one lucky per-former to showcase his talents tothe sparks show from electrictools in one of the evening's

more percussive moments.The highlight of the show came

with a long thin pail, filled withwater on a platform. Five moreplatforms stacked above it formed aline of performers. The front row ofthe audience instantly grew uneasyand realized why they had beengiven ponchos. Soon the Dogswere splashing and kicking throughthe water, drenching those audiencemembers fortunate enough to bethat close to the stage.

As the end of the showneared, the men again each tooka turn dancing by themselves forthe audience. Even before thesix joined together for the finalcounts of dancing, the audiencethundered from the applause.The standing ovation evenprompted the Tap Dogs' return tothe stage for a short, but intenseencore.

few bites; though he was open totoning down the supernaturalelements of the story, he was lesstaken with Hicks' insistence thatthe physical abuse by the motherbe eliminated."He said, 'If you try to soften

this, you wreck it,'" Hicks recalls."But I argued that if she lays ahand on the boy, we would turnoff the audience and never get itback. And when he made his casefor retaining some of the sciencefiction-y scenes, I said, 'Bill, wedon't need the special effects. Wehave the best special effect in theworld: Tony Hopkins.- •

Hopkins, known as SirAnthony to those who haven't hadthe opportunity to work with him,signed on to play Ted Brautigan,the boarder who takes a room inthe home of Bobby Garfield[Anton Yelchin] and his self-absorbed single mother [HopeDavis].

"At first Anton was pretty

intimidated, understandably.Here's an unknown kid workingwith one of the great actors of ourtime. But after a day or two, it wasclear how well they were workingtogether, even though Anton nevercould quite bring himself to callhim 'Tony, even when Tony insist-ed. It remained 'Sir Anthony,'which was kind of sweet."

Hicks described "Hearts inAtlantis" as a chamber piece andwonders how "an intimate moviewill play in the stadiums" that aremodern-day megaplexes. Thereputations of King and Hopkins,he allows, should help the filmfind an initial audience, and thenit will be left to the fates.

"At some point, you have tolet go and operate on faith," hesaid, "which, interestingly, isone of the film's primary themes:You either have trust or youdon't. I'd much rather suffer theoccasional heartbreak than bepermanently disheartened."

I only met Walsh once, butfrom talking to many peoplewho knew him over the pastweek, I feel as though I'veknown him forever. It gives youa unique perspective on a manwho many Mainers grew upidolizing, yet few knew person-

"I know somebody who usedto roam this building [AlfondArena] who would have madethat same call," Cosgrove said."It made me think of him whenBobby [Wilder] told me that'swhat he wanted to do."

That fourth-down passcaught James Madison offguard because the team wasexpecting something different.

"We had to take a chance,"James Madison junior defensiveend Richard Hicks said after thegame. "We went with ourinstinct. Everybody was feelingshort yardage. That's what wefelt was the best call."

After allowing 427 yards in

Blue/Whiteplayed well, playing a total of

24:14 and making 13 saveswhile allowing only one goal.

"I was looking forward tothe game, because I knew itwould be my only game thisyear," Doyle said. Doyle cameto UMaine after playing majorjunior hockey, which means thathe must sit out this season.

"I'm going to take this yearand learn from Matt [Yeats] andMike [Morrison] and fromcoach [Grant] Standbrook,"Doyle added. "They are bothexceptional goalies, and if Icould play, I don't think I'd seemuch action. So I'll ease into itand be ready for next year."

The game was also UMainefans' first look at highly-toutedfreshman Colin Shields, who

was forced to sit out last seasonbecause he was considered atransfer by the NCAA. Shields

did not end up on the scoresheet

but he did get into a few scraps

with senior Niko Dimitrakos. It

was all in the heat of battle,

though, because the two hugged

each other after the game.In one other highly antici-

pated switch that was unveiled,

junior Tom Reimann played

his first game as a full-time

defenseman. He has played

forward his first two seasons,but did see some time on theblue line during power playslast year.

"I played defense and for-ward in juniors, but mostly for-ward," Reimann said. "I didalright, I was shaky at times,but I expected that. I have a lotto learn on the defensive sideof things." Reimann does feelthat he can make the transition."I need to hold the red linemore. I need to pick my man

clqth -long as I play smart hockey, I'be fine."

The White team defeatedthe Blue team 3-1 in the game,which was played in two 25-minute halves. Heisten scoredthe lone goal for the Blue teamwhile juniors Michael Schutte

a 51-44 loss to Hofstra lastweek, UMaine's defenseimproved by giving up only127 yards, 45 of which came inthe final 1:30 of the game. Truefreshman Matthews completedseven of 21 passes for 98 yardsand Mike Connelly, who splittime at quaterback with

Matthews, threw for 15 yardson one completion. The twowere sacked by the UMainedefense four times.

"Up front we were gettingoff the ball putting pressureon the quarterback, the backend of everything was coveredso it just made it easier forCoop [Stephen Cooper] andBrendan Curry to make plays

on the quarterback," defensive

from page 16

back Lennard Byrd said. "Wejust dominated out there."

Curry totaled two sacks, andMarcus Walton and Dan Joslyneach tallied a sack. Eaton threw for138 yards completing 18 of 35attempts. Royston English, whoappeared to be limping during thegame, gained 83 yards on 23 carries.

With the victory, the BlackBears have won five straighthome games.

By Jeff Mann lxStaff Reporter

While most women's soccerplayers take the summer off torest and recuperate and maybeto do some off-season trainingto get ready for the fall, sevenUniversity of Maine players hadmore soccer to play.

These players representedfour provinces during thewomen's soccer tournament atthe Canada Games, which washeld this past August in London,Ontario.

Three players, sophomoremidfielder Katie Hodge, sopho-more forward Annie Hamel andfreshman defender LindaConsolante, represented Quebecduring the tournament.

"It was good competition,"Consolante said. She alsothought that it helped her pre-pare for college games. "It was

difficult, and exciting. It got mein the right frame of mind tocome here to play in college."

"It was a great tournament

and a lot of fun," said Hamel,

though she was frustrated about

the performance of the Quebec

team. "We finished fifth and we

all thought that we would finish

much higher."Hodge also found the experi-

ence of playing for Quebec

helpful."Our team prepared a lot to

play together, and we were dis-

appointed with how we finished,

and we loved our team," she

said. "It was a really great sum-mer. We had a lot fun."

The Canada Games, howev-er, was not Hodge's only experi-ence during the off-season.Hodge was called upon to playfor the Canadian National Teamduring March at a training campit was holding with the UnitedStates National Team.

"I was really excited," shesaid. "It was so overwhelming. Iwas seeing people that I'd onlyseen on TV, and I was like, 'I'mnot sure if I deserve to be here.'It was a lot of fun, though."

Hodge did not get into thegame, but she remains in thepool of players that can becalled up to the national team.

Sophomore forward EmilyStevens and freshman defender

Alison Kelly played for thegold-medal winning Ontarioteam.

"It was awesome to play atthat level," Kelly said. "It wasgood experience to build up tothe university level. It was a lotof fun, especially toward the endof the tournament. It got meexcited to play here."

"I wasn't very confidentgoing into tryouts," saidStevens, who also plays for thewomen's hockey team atUMaine. "When I made theteam, it really built my confi-dence and it kept building as thetournament went on."

Winning the gold made itthat much better for Kell,' andStevens.

It claims good people.

"It was awesome," Stevenssaid.

"It was crazy, we were allgoing crazy," Kelly said of herOntario teammates.

Sophomore midfielder KimWalsh played for Team Alberta.Alberta only had a one weektraining session before the tour-

nament, and was one of thefavorites. Instead, the team fin-ished a disappointing seventh.

"It shows you need to havesome more training," Walshsaid. "We had a lot of talent onthe team." Even with the disap-pointing finish she did enjoy theexperience. "It was great, wewere treated like professionalathletes. I'd love to live thatlifestyle for my whole life. Itgave me more confidence incoming here for this year."

Sophomore forward KateCrawford played for NewBrunswick."We weren't expected to win

any games," she said. "Theaverage age of my team was 17,and most of the other teams

were 19 and 20-year-olds."But New Brunswick did win

a few games. The team hadtrained for a year and half andwas ready.

"It was a good experience,"Crawford said. "I had come offsurgery and just started playingagain two weeks before thetournament, so I only played 25to 30 minutes a game, becausethat's all I could run at thetime." Crawford was a starter onher team.

The players have all usedtheir summer experience for theBlack Bears. The seven are

playing well and are contribu-tors to the team. They havehelped the Black Bears to a 5-1-1 record after two more winsthis past weekend.

The play of the team togetherhas only gotten better as the sea-son has gone on, and the majorreason for that are these seven

players. Hamel has the most

goals on the team, while Hodge

and Kelly are tied for the teamassist lead, along with RachelKennedy. Consalante has been aconstant anchor in the back,while Walsh is helping in themidfield.

CAMPUS PHOTO • FRED NICHOLSUMaine tight end Chad Hayes acknowledges quarterback Jake Eaton for throwing a pass that resulted in the only touchdownin Saturday night's game.

By Matthew HritzStaff Reporter

Only one week after rackingup 523 total yards, the Universityof Maine football team gainedonly 265 yards last Saturdaynight, but UMaine head coachJack Cosgrove was pleased withhis team's defensive effort inthe13-3 win against JamesMadison University.

"It became one of those gameswhere we knew we weren't goingto put a lot of points up and weknew we had to play greatdefense," Cosgrove said.

Under the full moon at MorseField, the Black Bears got off to ashaky start when freshman tightend Kurt Bulwith, handling hissecond kickoff of the season,fumbled the opening kick, whichwas recovered by James Madison.

But the fumble did not hurt theBlack Bears because the ensuingDukes drive ended when the teamlost fourteen yards and was forcedto punt.On UMaine's next posession,

kicker Chris DeVinney put theBlack Bears up 3-0 when he hit a31-yard field goal on a drivefueled by a 27-yard rush by quar-terback Jake Eaton.

That was the only score of the

first quater. The Dukes offenselost 13 yards in the quarter andwere outgained by UMainebecause the Black Bears had 94yards.

James Madison turned itsoffense around during its firstdrive of the second quarter whenDukes quarterback ClaytonMatthews completed four passes.

The University of Maine hock-ey team was back on the ice atAlfond Arena to play theBlue/White game, an intrasquadscrimmage which is the tradition-al opening of the season, Sundayafternoon.

This year's game took on aslightly different meaning in thewake of the death of head coachShawn Walsh last Monday fromcomplications due to renal cellcarcinoma.

But Chris Heisten was happyto get back on the ice.

"It was good to get on the icefinally after this week-longordeal," he said. "It was definitelya relief. I hope the crowd enjoyedit, because we sure enjoyed play-ing it."

Interim head coach TimWhitehead was pleased with theoverall play in the game.

"I felt the game was pretty up-tempo, considering we had onlythree lines on each side," he said

after the game. "I'm pleased withhow the guys competed, especial-ly with what's been happening thelast few weeks."

Whitehead said he was happywith the physical play but he feelsthere are things that need to beimproved."We need to play a little

smarter. Everyone was keen tomake long passes and dangerouscross-ice passes," Whitehead said."But it's the first game, and peo-ple are anxious to make the bigplay."He was also pleased with the

play of many of the team's fresh-men. One who played well wasdefenseman John Jankus, whoassisted on a Martin Kariya goal.

"I'm a big fan of the pass fromthe goal line to the far blue line,"Jankus said. "I tried it often today,and it worked on that play. Martywas wide open, so I threw thepuck in his direction and he didthe rest."

Saturday morning was a beau-tiful, sunny Maine day. It was thekind of Maine day that ShawnWalsh would have loved to take ajog or play a round of golf.Unfortunately, there will be nomore jogs or rounds of golf forShawn Walsh. Cancer took thataway from him, and Saturday waseveryone's day to say goodbye tohim.

I arrived at St. John's CatholicChurch in Bangor on Saturday ataround 8 a.m. I wanted to makesure that I got in, because I knewthat most of the seating inside thechurch would be reserved for uni-versity staff, the Walsh family, thehockey program and the numer-ous former players who madetheir way back to Maine to honorthe man who changed their lives.

I was one of the first people toarrive there and go in to thechurch. It was large and beautiful,befitting a man who was viewedwith large proportions in Maine.

I watched as many formerBlack Bears, from days gone by,made their way into the church.Claudio Scremin, Scott Pellerin,Brendan Walsh, Bob Corkum,Chris Imes, Reg Cardinal, AlfieMichaud and A. J. Begg, as wellas numerous other former BlackBears were there.

Then, I saw his two oldestsons, Tyler and Travis. My heartbled for them. At this point inthese young boys lives, theirbiggest concern should be whichflavor of ice cream to have afterdinner. Instead, they've lost theirfather. That's something many ofus forget at this time. Yes, ShawnWalsh was a great hockey coach,a great teacher and a great leader.But he was also a husband, afather, a brother and a friend. Hewas just as good at being thosethings as he was at being a hock-ey coach, if not better.

I kept it together pretty wellbefore the service, until the hock-ey team walked in slowly. Theycame in two-by-two as the servicebegan, with blank, sad looks ontheir faces. That's when I lost it. Icouldn't help it. These young menhad built such close relationshipswith their coach and I know fromtalking to former players through-out the last week that those rela-tionships only got stronger oncethe player left the.program.

These players will never getthat chance. That's sad.

Then I listened to the speakerssay their wonderful things aboutShawn Walsh. I laughed at manyof the stories. Many others justmade you feel good.

The, service ended withShawn's younger brother, Kevin,the man who had tried to save hislife by donating stem-cells for aSee SPORTS COLUMN on page 13
