Haley speaksby Josh Shapiro

Alex Haley, author of ROOTS, spoke before a large audienceat Wadsworth Gymnasium on October 26, as part of his two dayvisit to Colby.

A fter being introduced by Stu-A cultural chairperson Leon Buck ,Haley spoke about the people and events of his life that led to thepublication of ROOTS.

Haley attrubuted much of the success of ROOTS to his grand-mother with whom he spent a great deal of time during his childhood.He said that grandparents can and should be important parts in thelives of children: "Nobody can do to children what grandparentscan," Haley said , "Grandparents tell what they know about thefamily to every minutia of detail."

They talked about their parents,about Tom the blacksmith , and allthey done as children... They talkedof 'Chicken George', the womanizer,and his mother. They talked of amystical metaphorical Africa."

Raised in Henning, Tennessee (the subject of a book he is nowwriting, HENNING), Haley related the excitement of this townwhich many people thought to be a "dead , dull , and nowhere place."He emphasized the closeness of the town , where each person wasa specifi c individual whom everyone knew.• Haley 's father attended the Cornell School of Agriculture for hisMasters Degree. "No one in Henning knew exactly what a MastersDegree was, so my grandmother said it was all that could be learn-ed inside one man 's head ," Haley remarked.

Haley spent much of his childhood with his grandmother , becausehis mother died when lie was 10. He remembered well many even-ings when he sat on the front porch and listened to his grandmotherand her five sisters talking about their childhood.

Indian parliament member lecturesby Greg Getschow

The honorable Jaswant Singh, M.P., who is visiting the UnitedStates at the invitation of the United State? government, spoke toan informal group at Colby on October 25. The lecture was spon-sored by the department of philosophy and religion.

Singh is a member of the upper house of Parliament and is theleader of the most powerful Party opposing Indira Gandhi. He hasbeen politically active in India since 1967.

The main topic of Singh's speech was developing federalism inIndia. According to Singh, the present system of Government doesnot work in promoting nationalism in India because fo the greatdiversity of religions, ideas, and languages.

Singh was critical of the political penetration of the central goven-ment. For instance, he mentioned that individual governors are notpopularly elected, but are instead appointed by the president. Thegovernor - central government relationship tends to be intimate inIndia , giving Gandhi and central officials too much control.

The basis of conflict between the people and the Gandhi partyis the inability to unite the states and the corruption in government.The state of Punjab in Northern India exemplifies the problem.Politically, the government appoints a person from the same fami-ly to the governor's position at each election. Singh said this wouldbe like having a member of The John Quincy Adams family-ap-pointed to power at every election.

The diversity between North and South is very; great and Singhsees the need for a legitimate government to unite India.

The territoty of Assam exemplifies the corrupt Government neglec-ting to use its power to help the people. Assam was a back waterarea until recently, when oil was discovered on the territoy. Migrantlaborers from Bangladesh moved in and illegally voted in electionsin an attempt to share in the wealth from this oil. The votes themigrants cast were for corrupt Indian officials who promised to letthem stay in exchange for their votes.

Singh concluded his lecture by reassuring the audience that Indiais not breaking apart, but said it is stagnant because a bad PrimeMinister is forcing uniformity and not unity on the country. A newPrime Minister and Ruling Party acting for the good of the coun-try could initiate some progress in a positive direction , Singh said.

Haley discussed the topic of immigration, and the connection bet-ween the European and African cultures. The children of Europeanemigrants tried to be '-'hot shot Americans," while their parentsdesperately wanted to hang on to the European culture. "In my fami-ly, my mother was ashamed of slavery. My grandmother would say,'Well if you don't care who you are, I care who I am,'" commentedHaley. *

"Carding is much stricter this year ," said Ben Prentis, themanager of Wesleyan University's Cardinal pub recently. Thepub's crackdown in requiring students to show valid identifica-tion to purchase alcohol is a result of the recent raise in Con-,necticut's drinking age from 19 to 20.

In an efort to eliminate the sale of beer to underage students,the pub will employ a full-time , non student cashier to workits cash register this year. "Roy KosakowskiL the pub's co-manager, said, "We have to enforce the law. If we don't , itwill endanger our licence."

Little sister protestsConflict arose at Middlebury College recently over the name

of that college's Kappa Delta Rho;s (KDR) "little sister"program.

At a meeting of fraternity members, and administrators,members of the* administration felt that the title of this pro-gram was sexist.

According to Todd Hunter, president of KDR, "little sister"is "an accepted Greek term."

The ceremony attendedby King 's family, was marked by the singing .of "We ShallOvercome."

Lebanon peace talksLeaders of Lebanon 's warring factions have agreed to

declare Lebanon a "sovereign Arab country. " The delegates ,however, clashed over the Israeli - Lebanese troop withdrawalpact. Talk on the pact has been delayed , most likely until theend of the conference.

Press protestsThe US government has been drawing flack for its treat-

ment of the press during the invasion of Grenada.

Colby in Caenby Mary Boston

"I wouldn't have traded theyear for anything," said SusanPalmer about her junior yearabroad on the Colby in Caen pro-gram. Her enthusiasm is sharedby the other students who went toFrance on this program.

l he rigid academic aspect otthis program was stressed. "It'snot a vacation," said Palmer, whois the program coordinator forCaen this year. The student gradesfrom Caen are averaged into theColby GPA, so all are expected tomaintain the same standard ofacademic performance.

Students are immersed into theFrench University. They live,study and attend classes withFrench students. This is . con-sidered an advantage over an in-dependent foreign study programSome of the Colby students wh6 went to Caen, France last year reunite and

deem the program a success. _^ __ •• ¦

where a student may continuous-ly be with Americans. Supportclasses were held on the side tohelp students with specific pro-blems. "We had about an houreach week for questions aboutbackground information ormisunderstandings in class,'' saidAmy Russell.

The Colby students stressed thenon-academic learning they didoutside of class. "I learned a lotabout myself and how to be in-dependent," said Sally Ludwig.Russell agreed saying, "I can'tpinpoint the difference in my at-titude now, but I feel more in-dependent." They said they hadto be outgoing and make an effortto meet people on their own.

Students said they learned toappreciate many views held in theUnited States. The women notedthat they recieved less respect in

France than at home. Peoplelearned what French opinions ofAmericans are, and could com-pare and analyze them with theirown ideas.

Travel was another way thestudents learned about France.They spent six weeks in Parisbefore beginning their program ofstudy. They enjoyed their stay inthe city, but expressed satisfactionat living in Caen, which is in thecountry. "We met real, Frenchcountry people," said SusanPalmer. Among various activities,the Colby students attended asmall town fai r and went hikingin Brittany.

Colby in Caen has been deem-ed a huge success by those involv-ed. One student attributed thissuccess to the small and personallevel of the program.

• Teach- mvolvement in Nicaragua.

According to Government professor Charles Hauss, who has coor-dinated the teach-in, there will be three additional speakers. HenryHolland, the director of Colby's Cuernevaca program, will com-ment on the demonstration which has already been conducted byColby students in Cuernavaca; The students marched to theAmerican consulate in Cuernevaca.

Steve Brode, a social worker who was vacationing in Barbadosat the time of the invasion in Grenada, will give what Hauss calledan "almost eye witness account" of the invasion

Dean Doug Archibald will also speak in opposition to Americanintervention. Following the speakers, there will be a question andanswer period.

Hauss said that in organizing the teach-in, he did not attempt topresent a balanced viewpoint. He said, "It is designed to get ourpoint of view across. Thus we saw a need to do it as a politicalevent."

Hauss would like to follow the teach-in with "some type ofdemonstration." He and Bowen had originally planned to lead ademonstration on Castonguay Square in front of the city hall inWaterville. To do so would require authorization from the towncouncil. Hauss said Wednesday that he did not expect the town coun-cil to grant the demonstrat&rs the parade permit they need.

Hauss said that plans for a Nov. 11 demonstration at the statehouse in Augusta are "fairly certain." Students from Bates, Bow-doin and UMO have also tentatively planned to participate in thisdemonstration.

English professor Peter Harris introduced the idea for a teach-inat an Oct.30 organizational meeting for those opposed to U.S. in-tervention in the third world. One student felt the need for a moreactive opposition and thus suggested a demonstration. Approximate-ly 55 students attended this meeting, which was held in Foss Lounge.

A discussion in which people were able to voice their opinionson U.S. foreign policy in the third world preceded the organizationmeeting. In opening the meeting, which was attended by approx-imately 80 people, Hauss said that he hoped the discussion wouldcreate activism and an understanding of the situation in bothGrenada and Lebanon.

Hauss said that he and Bowen, the discussions moderators, didnot organize the meeting to "rabble rouse but to expres an angerand concern and try to get the campus involved in getting the govern-ment to do something."

The discussion immediately focused on the invasion in Grenadaas Hauss denounced the government for "thinking it can just in-tervene without letting the American people know what is going on."Most of those who spoke at the discussion were also opposed tothe invasion. For isntance, history professor Jack Foner opposedit because "not one of our European allies sees the U.S. justifica-tion for the invasion as credible."

Foner added, "Confrontations today could easily escalate to aglobal nature. You can't just use the" old argument of gunboatdiplomacy." On this point , Bowen, although he also opposed thisintervention , disagreed . "We're trying to use our muscle to makepeople behave as we would like them to." He said that the U.S.shpuld rely on money to gain support from nations like Grenada:"The invasion cost $50 million. With this money we could have re-built their airport 12 times and made the island safe for the Americantourism."

November 3, 1983, Sophomore Tom Noel called the intervention a "symbol directed

at the USSR saying 'we have to draw the line somewhere. We'renot going to allow any more Soviet expansion.' " This statementmet with much opposition from the largely liberal audience. Onestudent yelled, "Symbols don't involve lives!" After the meetingNoel said that he had been misunderstood. He labelled the action"misdirectd", and asserted, "I don't advocate it [the invasion]."

Professor Michael Shadden's opposition to the invasion wasperhaps the strongest. He said, "I want them (U.S. Armed Forces)all to come home. I'm sick of it...The whole idea of U.S. domina-tion is not worth it." Hauss and Bowen differed with Shadden'sisolationist sentiments, saying that in some instances U.S. interven- ¦tion is justifiable. Because they shared Shadden's feelings concern-ing the invasion in Grenada, Bowen and Hauss ended the discus-sion and began the organization meeting focusing on possible meansof opposing the intervention. . -

• Pyschologiststhree day period. This, however, is quite unusual and is a result ofthis particular time in the semester.' Most of the students who comein "are not getting as much out of life as they should " says Perez.He stresses that he is not there for the "whackos"only, but for thosewho are not entirely satisfied with some aspect of their life. "I don'tknow anyone who can live without some problem," he said.

When a student feels that he does indeed have a lack of satisfac-tio n , he may make an appointment by calling the secretary at ex-tention 2394. Usually an appointment can be made for the follow-ing day. In some instances, professors will recommend that theirstudents see either Perez or Irgang for consultation.

Basically Perez and Irgang- provide the studnet with an oppor-tunity to talk about problems in total confidentiality. They offeran "objective mirror" which allows a student to see himself for whathe really is. Students are encouraged to talk about their feelings andaccept them as well. "Many feel that it 's wrong to feel anger orunhappiness ," Perez cites. Sometimes the student can identify theproblem himself , and he needs only to discuss it. In other instanceshe may speak of other dilemmas and will stumble upon the realsource of his anxiety. Often a student may express himself in wordsbut not be fully aware of his feelings. "We point out what we'veheard and then help the student to become aware and react." Ac-cording to Perez "It 's helping them help themselves."

Hence an appointment merely gives the student a chance to ex-press himself without having to worry if what he says may be inany way repeated or leaked to his friends or family. Often studentscont. on p. 15

Dungeons and Dragonsby Laurie Herlihy

Druid: I enter the room. What doI see?Dungeon Master: The room issmall and plain and empty exceptfor a pedestal in the center.Druid: I walk to the pedestal. Dor see anything else?D.M.: The pedestal has writing onit but you can't read it. There isa black ring laying on top of thepedestal.Druid: What does the ring looklike?D.M.: It is a plain black, shinyband.Druid: I pick up the ring and putit on. What happens?D.M.: You now can read thewriting on the pedestal.

This is an excerpt from a typicalDungeons and Dragons adven-ture. D&D, as most players call it,is a fantasy role playing game.Each player plays his owncharacter. A character can be amagic user, fighter , cleric, druidas well as many others. Thephysical attributes such as

charisma, strength, intelligence,dexterity, etc. are all determinedby random die rolls. These figuresare used to calculate the perfor-mance of any specific criterion.For example, a character with thestrength of 17 (on an 18 pointscale) will have a better chance ofbreaking down a dungeon doorthan a character with the strengthof 8. .

The dungeon master, essentiallya referee, rolls dice and uses thesetotals to indicate the success of acharacter's actions. The dungeonmaster is also responsible forcreating the fantasy world. Hesketches out what the characterssense. For example, if thecharacter enters a room, thedungeon master, when question-ed by the player, describes whatis in the room, and what the roomlooks like. The dungeon masteralso assumes the identity of anycreatures a party may encounter.

Each D&D group, or party, hasa goal towards which they allstrive. For example, a group maysearch for a kidnapped princess orlost artifact.

When many people imagine aDungeons and Dragons game,they imagine a darkened room litonly by candlelight, inhabited byseveral costumed figures hoveringover a table. In fact, D&D doesnot quite conform to this image.One game, for instance, wasplayed in a well-lit fraternity roomwith players seated civilly arounda large coffee table. Players seemto take the game seriously, eachplays the part of his character, yetthere is also much joking,laughing, and teasing.

There are several D&D groupson campus. As it is very difficultto describe a D&D game, the bestway to understand D&D is to callup a D.M. and watch a game.Unlike most games, D&D neverends. Characters eventually ageand seek new quests and the gameis only limited by the imaginationof the players.

Dungeon masters Matt Cana-day, extension 2408 and NickHauer, extension 2428, can becontaced by any interestedstudents.

Social probation at PDT stricterby Brad Fay

Terms of the former Phi DeltaTheta social probation becamestricter on Tuesday when theDean of Student's Office approv-ed the reccomendation made bythe Inter Fraternity Council /Judiciary (IFC-J) last week. /

/ /The reason behind the decisionwas an incident of bcttle.throw-ing Saturday night of homecom-

ing weekend _ . The incident waswitnessed and reported byAssociate Professor DonaldSmall.

y

The bottles were thrown byaluaflii and pickecfup that nightby active members of the frater-nity, according to Steve Michaud,Chief Justice of the IFC-J. Had

Small not witnessed the alumni

throwing the bottles off the PDT ~balcony no one would ever haveknown about it, Michaud added-.

Under the new agreement, PDTmay not have any parties what-soever. Previously, although onsocial probation, the fraternitywas allowed a few parties provid-ed that they received special ap-proval from the Dean's Office ,said Housing Coordinator PaulJohnston.

The terms of the new sanctions

extend through December. InJanuary the fraternity still will beon the "privileged social proba-tion," said Michaud.

The recommendation fromIFC-J was an alternative to expul-sion, which is often used forfraternities that violate socialprobation.

Johnston said the IFC-J musthave felt that this incident was notworthy of kicking the fraternityoff campus, even though they did

violate social probation. An ac-tion was taken, however, because"we are trying to say that frater-nities are responsible for theiralumni," said Michaud.

Perhaps the biggest problemPDT will experience with the newprobation is getting enoughpledges for next year. Last yearthey could not fill all the spacesin the house.and therefore, somenon-brothers have rooms therenow.

The parties were one of the ma-jor ways to get students interestedin joining, Johnston said. Theproblem will "challenge the im-agination of the brothers." Otherways of getting members do exist,he said.

Of the IFC-J decision, Michaudsaid it was "pretty quick andunanimous." The Dean's Officeapproved the decision over thephone before it was made final onTuesday morning.

Craftsfair is a success

by Peter Necheles

There is a lot of lif e in Colby 'sCraftsfair. Held for the last thir-teen years, the fair is tbe work ofthe Craftsfair committee, led byBarbara Sweney of Admissions.The fair started as an auction heldto raise money to fund studentcraft programs, like th e potte ryshop and the presently unusedprint shop in Bixler. The auctiondid n't wo rk well , but the ideastayed and became the craftsfairwhi ch has beco me qu ite pop u lar

Craftspeople and artists fromacross Maine and New Englanddisplayed everything possiblefrom Saint Bernard hair caps toiron railings. There were over 90booths.

The crafts of these people areboth trades passed down fromgeneration to . generation, andhobbies picked up just for fun.Steve Alsup learned the iron forg-ing craft as an apprentice inMassachussett 's 18th centurySturbridge Village. Stanley Downsstarted making jewlery afterbecoming tired of being anauditor. He says he loves the factthat he is finally "his*own man."Leather craftsman gives customized service to

buyers at the Craftsfair.

The Ziembeke's are a husbandand wife tejam. He learned to blowglass in college. She learnedceramics on her own as a hobby.They each sell their craft. Whilethey 're always travelli ng , the life 'snot too bad. "We make our ownhours and spend the winter inFlorida ," they say.

Craft s, however, are not a wayof making a living for everyone.Some sell paper penguins or toysoldiers as a hobby to have fun.Professor Pestana of the Geology

d epartment started maki ng hisfamous "soldiers of the queen"in his kitchen for his son. He mov-ed to the basement and went intobusiness to rid himself of theabundance of soldiers. While heenjoy s th e hobby , it has beco meoverwhelming. He stated quitepossitive ly that he enjoyedteaching much more.

Colby students wererepresented by Marion Leerburgerand Whistle Wood. The commit-tee provides a booth for students

interested in selling their craft orart. Leerburger started makingjewlery when she was eleven. Shesells a consignment to stores inNew York. Wood, president ofthe Pottery Club, sold her potte ryat the fair.

Insect Comedy sparksenthusiastic response

by Scott Lamer

Dick Sewell faced innumerablechallenges in directing KarelCapek's Insect Comedy, but judg-ing from the audience 's en-thusiastic response, the show .mayboast a successful run. The set waswell-placed and relatively effec-tive , the acting was clean andbriskly paced , and the plot ,though incredibly preachy, washumorous in most respects. Onenoticeable asset worth citing werethe original costumes designed byvisiting Boston University and

Huntington Theater costumerHillary Derby. Each insect ,thanks to her original designs, wasuniquely distinguishable, allowingthe characters to create their ownindividual styles and personalitiesmore easily.

The production is performed inthree acts, which are furtherseparated into two or three vignet-tes. Each of these shorter scenesattempts to deliver a specificmessage through the eyes of theshow's principle character , theVagrant * (Dan Allegretti), aveteran of World War I who lies

drunk in the woods, watching,listening, and commenting on allthat he regards.

The play's point was somewhatoverstated, but this drawback wascompensated for by unusual stag-ing and realistic character move-ment. Of particular notice werethe Totalitariant and Snail scenes.These two episodes were com-pletely opposite in nature, the firstbeing a fast-paced , somewhatviolent scene, the second a muchslower and peaceful movement ,which involved two snails cross-ing the state (over about an eightminute period) without a singlehesitation. Both the former andthe latter held the audience 's at-tention for their specifi c dura-tions , which was not an easy taskfor Sewell to accomplish. Allcharacters had to be moving at alltimes In a believable manner.They were.

Happily, there was a large cast ,which allowed many performersto gain further onstage ex-perience . Un fortunately, thismakes an individual charactersketch virtually impossible. Therewere several actors who stood outfrom the rest due to the difficul-

Gang of . Four reviewedby Kurt Wolff

Many people, both critics andlisteners alike , arc somewhatdisappointed with the Gang ofFour 's latest LP HARD. Whencomparing this album to theearlier efforts of the group, onecan sec that (he band has donequite a bit of thinking about andre-shaplng of their sound. But theGang has always been very muchof a progressive rock band , whichis really how.most, if not all , qual-ity bands can be defined , and thisalbum follows in that tradition .

Groups like the Buzzcocks andthe Jam that were at their peak inthe late seventies had a sound thatwas based on high energy-strongbass and drums; fast , uncleanguitar chords; and vocals that

often were statements of politicaland social discontent. The Gangof Four came out in a similar styleon their first album ENTER-TAINMENT in 1979. It was aninstant success, and containedsuch powerfully energetic songs as"Damaged Goods" and "I FoundThat Essence Rare." But If onewere to juxtapose this first effortwith their tourth album HARD ,it would be hard to believe that thetwo are from the same band.

The sound one finds on HARDhas a good deal 'of energy, butsuch energy has now been refin-ed and channelled. A muchthicker, heavier bass line fromSara Lee, and the use of two blackwomen singers (one from thegroup Chic), help give the albummore of a funk sound. "Is ItLove?" starts the record off on

just such an upbeat note , and itsopening vocal line from the twowomen probably made a fewhardened Gang fans turn theirheads. The whole sound of thesong is, as elsewhere on thealbum , much cleaner, For in-stance, the guitar on "I Fled"•isn't so heavy as it has been onearlier efforts; here Andrew Gillemploys a lot more single-lineplaying, along with some distortedchords that strike one hard , butdon 't dominate the sound. Usedmore sparingly here than onENTERTAINMENT , the guitaris often used to color the rhythmand vocal emphasized sound. Thevoca ls, too, are much cleaner;quite a change from the sneeringlines of "Damaged Goods;"

m Reel VX[ Th "g„. P eople^nMwlBHHI (f ROB 1by John Prorok Vv35B_ Vby John Prorok Yv55B__*W

The recent trend in honor movies hasn't been too encourag-ing. Audiences have pounded into terror with blood , guts ,perverts, arid maniacs. Gore seemingly replaced style and classas the dogma of these movies. Slice and dice is the new genre.Films like "Halloween " and "Friday the 13th" have been im-mensely popular and fathered bleak sequels and dozens of sickimitations. The future of the genre seemed dim. The fine linebetween horror and thriller diminished. Well crafted andstylistically nostalgic films like "The Shining", "Dressed toKill" and "Blow out" have been largely ignored by popularaudiences. Rather than scare the audiences, the movies of thenew genre repulse in a grotesque and monstrous way. The filmshave become brutal , the genre raped.

"The Dead Zone" tries to transcend today's horror genreby being stylistic and nostalgic. It is base"d on Stephen King'snovel and attempts to remain true to the work's complexionand tone. Since terror is so deeply rooted in psychology, manyof the slice and dice movies reduce the characters to one dimes-nional psychotics or maniacs. "The Dead Zone" deals withthe complex psychological composition of a man with a uni-que and dangerous talent, and the mood of the film reflectsthis. His talent is to see the future. Director David Cronenbergspends a great deal of time examining John Smith's(Christopher Walken) adjustment to his newly acquired sense.The final dilemma of changing the futu re he foresees is notmet until' the very end of the film.

"The Dead Zone" is an eerie - almost haunting film. Mostof the credit for this must go to Walken 's intense portrayalof the tort ured and embittered Smith. There is some humorin his performance - when -he makes his students memorizePoe's "The Raven"; there is also great compassion. In general ,all of the performances are good. Martin Sheen is especiallynoteworthy as Gregg Stillson , the crafty and unstable politi-cian who eventually becomes the nemesis of Smith. The castalso includes Herbert Lom as Smith's caring doctor and BrookAdams as his lost love.

Cronenberg is successfu l in raising this film-out of the messof its slice and dice peers, but it isn 't a great film. It 's enter-taining in a macabre way, bu t it lacks the spark which wou ldpropel it into the level of a De Palma or Hitchcock film. Atleast it is a step in the right direction.

"Hair", directed by Milos Forman , succeeds at all levelsas fun , as affecting drama, as an exhilirating spectacle, anda provocative social observation. It achieves its goals byrigorously obeying the rules of classic American musica l com-edy: dialogue, plot ,' song and dance blend seamlessly to createa juggernaut of excitement. ¦

The story begins as Claude (John Savage, of "The DeerHunter ") arrives in Manhiattan for a final day of liberty beforeinduction into the Army. Claude plans to take in the touristsights but he is quickly seduced by more hedonistic pleasures.Falling in with a tribe of long-haired dropouts , he toondiscovers countercultural drugs and politics.

The passions of a generation arc poured into a single set-ting, Central Park , on a single enchanted night. The movieis idealized but not sentimentalized. The characters talk likepeople, not air-headed flower children.

Forman, who also dj rected the classic "One Flew over theCuckoo's Nest", does a marvelous job of directing in the spec-tacularly , edited finale, Forman at once resolves the plot ,reopens the national wounds of Vict Nam, and pulls back tobring the whole move into historical perspective.

"What 's Up Doc?" is a hilarious , screwball comedy directedby Peter Bogdanovich andjtarring Ryan O'Neal and BarbaraStreisand. O'Neal portrays an absent-minded professor ofmusicology who is competing for a $20,000 grant. The realstory involves Streisand prying O'Neal away from his fiancee,Madeline Kahn , whose comic gifts include an ambulance-sirenvoice that could shatter glass at any pitch.

Although some critics claim that this film is at best an art-ful imitation of Howard Hawk's classic "Bringing up Baby"I tend to disagree. These critics do not understand what thismovie is all about. This movie has no "message", it has nopoint to prove, il is simply two hours of great entertainment.It has so many wild moments including a chase through thestreets of San Francisco, the final courtroom scene, and severalgreat scenes in a hotel.

"Hair" and "What's up Doc?"

Help a friend get throughthe day without a cigaretteThey might just quitforever. And that'simportant. Because goodfriends are hard to find.And even tougherto lose.

• Gang of Four"Sometimes I'm thinking that Ilove you , but I know it 's onlylust." (1979, Gang of Four)"Women Town" stands out onthe album with its slower pace,but striking guitar lines and vocalstrength. "She said , It 's no sur-prise that you wear shades; every-want rebounds from such aperfect curve." (1983, A. Gill,Jon King with Jon Astrpp.)

The cleaner and moresophisticated sound on songs like"A Man With a Good Car" and"Independence," then, are a cou-ple of the best examples of howthe album gets its tension from acontrol and channelling of theband's energy. This, too, marksa giant step for the Gang as well.ENTERTAINMENT was a bril-liant album. SOLID GOLD,

however, wasn't as much of a pro-gression lor the band , andtherefore didn't stand out with thevehemence of its predecessor.SONGS OF THE FREE seemedto have one purpose--"! Love aMan in a Uniform." It's not un-til HARD that the band finallybrings their sound together intosomething that is as innovativeand pointed as was their debut ef-fort. Thus , though the sound isquite a change from the past , theband is once again avoiding ex-pectations and remaining ahead ofthe music of the Eighties.Those who decide what everyonewill do grow rich because the deci-sions are made in their interests.They are pleased at how wef i theyrule the other 's. The others smiletoo, thinking that their rulersknow best.

(Gang of Four, 1979)

• Craft sused by Colby craft clubs or ac-tivities. There is also the possibili-ty of the funds being used forscholarship for summer programsat places like Deer Island whichwas offered last year.

Sweney expressed sorrow thatthe craftsfair which began foi thesake of providing funds for Col-by Craftsmen has been ignored bystudents and is seen simply asanother fair. "It 's a place torealize culture as well as to shop,"she stated. But with Christmas-scoming, there were certainly manyshoppers in the crowd.

• Poet and poemween Walt Whitman and OscarWilde.

His poetry is very concernedwith otherness rather than the in-trospection * typical of mostmodern poets. In his most recentvolume of poetry, "Misgivings,"he dedicated a whole section to thelives of other artists.

The form that most of hispoems takes is that of thedramatic monologue. Accordingto Sadof f, he is said to be the mostsuccessful writer in that genresince Browning.

According to Sadoff , thefollowing quote from James

Dickie correctly sums upHoward's work. It reads"Richard Howard 's work is so in-teresting, so continously various,that reading it is like reading let-ters that the world itself wrote,under the different conditions ofits existence...Howard is a civiliz-ed and wonderful poet."

Howard has written sevenvolumes of poetry, including Un-titled Subjects for which he wonthe Pulitzer Prize. He also Haswon the American Book Awardfor his translation of "Les Fleursdu Mai."

Arts Notes

Soccer nipped. by Tim Bonang

The Colby Soccer team ended the regular season on a rather sournote this last week, dropping two matches to University of Maineat Farmington and Orono. Despite the disappointing finish , theM ules ended up at 8-5-2 and a possible playoff birth can be seenon the horizon.

On Wednesday the booters fell to a tough UMF team on theBeavers home turf. The loss put a stop to a five game win streak.The Mules lacked enthusiasm and hustle in this one as they justcouldn 't get untracked. Ted Goodrich opened the scoring unassistedearly in the first half , but UMF bounced back. The beavers, overthe course of forty minutes , peppered the Colby defense for threeuna nswered goals, and this proved to be too much for the Mulesto overcome. Marc Burke dosed the scoring late in the game, alsoscoring an unassisted goal. Colby finished with a 16-12 shot advan-tage, as Tim McCrystal made 5. saves and the UMF keeper dub split

Saturday the.Mules played much better but still fell , this ti me toUMO 1 -0. Colby more than held it's own against the Division 1 BlackBears, yet lost on a fluke goal. UMO's John O'Connor took a shotiliat a.Mule fullback tried to head out , but deflected the goal pastMcCrystal. UMO outshot Colby 12-7 as the Bears Jeff Spring andMcCrystal each made five stops.| Coach Marc Serdjenian said Monday he was "optimistic" about;/ possible tournament birth , but ' 'there's no official word as of yet.''the chances do look positive as only four teams in the New EnglandSmall College Athletic Conference have winning records and theselection commitee only hs io pick four teams out of the eleven con-ference members. The other three schools with winning records areAmherst, Williams, and Middlebury. Should the Mules secure a posi-tio n , they will be without the services of fullback wizard TorgnyAnderson , a steady .force all season long, who broke his leg earlyin the second half against UMO.

Colby smashes Colbyby Norma Delaney

In an overwhelming display ofoffensive firepower , Colbywomen 's soccer exploded lor 11unanswered goals en route to anli -0 routing of Colby Sawyer.Senior co-captain Marsha Landauled the scoring rush with fourKoals and four assists, possiblysuiting an all time Colby record .Other Mule scorers weresophomores Patrice Galvin ,Kuthy Sullivan , Debbie Brooks,and Anne Butler; freshman Char-maigne Twigg and Martha

McTaush , and junior LeslieMelcher. Unlike previous games,the Colby women took advantageof their scoring opportunitiesplastering the opposition with 48shots on goal. Colby Sawyer , onthe other hand , could muster 'ameagre two shots on goal.

Last Friday, the Mules playedtheir last, best, game of the seasontying eighth ranked PlymouthState 1 -1. Colby scored its earliestgoal of the season, only oneminute and 31 seconds into thegame. Melcher tallied assisted byBrooks and Twigg. Coach Terry

Parhn noted Twigg for her besteffort of the season, He was alsoimpressed with the defense."Credit should be paid to thedefense who worked hard to stopPlymouth 's three or four outstan-ding shooters ," said Parlin.Defense players MarianneMcDonald , Jenny Estes, CarolSimon, Mary White , and MaryNeedham allowed only 14 shotson goal. Plymouth entered thegame with a 9-3-1 record , in-cluding a win over Bowdoin, mak-ing the 1-1 tic a highlight of theMules ' season.

In their final game versus NewHampshire College, the Muleswere dumped 3-1. The Mulesscored first with 8 minutes and 20seconds into the game. Oalvinscored off an assist by Melcher,only to have Hampshire tie themby half time, . The defense hadtheir hands full trying to shootdown Hampshire's leading scorerShubert. Acordlng to ConchParlin the Mules needed anothergreat game, like their previous oneversus Plymouth , to bentHampshire.

The Mules finished their seasonwith a 4-6-2 record. Coach Parlinstated that he is disappointed intheir record , although not somuch In their play since the 3-1victory against Tufts. A more dif-

ficult season has much to do withtheir less successful record andCoach Parlin said , "we arebasically considered an averageteam playing others above ourleague." The Mules regret the lossof five seniors; co-captains MaryWhite and Marsha Landau andalso Sara Chapin , Cathy Connif

_and Anne Tiedemann.

Pickering fourth in Statesby Andrew Sheehan

Friday afternooh in Lewiston ,the annual State of Maine CrossCountry Championship was heldat Bates College. The Bates ' team"ran" away with the team title en-ding the Unive rsity of Maine'sthree year domination of themeet, The 5.1 mile event , runwithin the confines of.Bates Col-lege, was lined with enthusiasticBates' students who saw theirsquad place five runners in the topnine spots.

Tom Pickering (fourth place in25:45) and Art Feeley (seventhplacein 25:47) both made the All-Maine Team by the virtue of theirfinishing places, The winding,concentric course, would notallow the runners to accelerateover great distances, slowing times

and turning the race into a test ofmental endurance. A pack oftwenty runners kept pace with theleaders until the 2.5 mile markwhere the race spread out.

Kevin Farley, running an in-telligent race, worked his way upin the latter half of the event andfinished in the 12th slot with atime of 26:08. Phil Thorton plac-ed nine seconds behind Kevin for13th place. Freshman KevinCoyle, who continues to improvewith each race finished 15th in2*28. Mike Misner and HansHagen rounded out Colby 's topseven placing 20th nnd 23 rdrespectively,

Coach Wcscott had predictedbefore the meet that Bates was theteam to beat, however, the Batesrunners surprised Wesco|t by run-ning so closely together only

twenty-three seconds separatedtheir top five runners . Art Feeley,co-captain , believes the team cancatch Bates in the two remainingchampionship meets. "Batesdefinitely was keying towards theState of Maine meet as their bigrace, Friday, they put everythingtogether. Wc now have the chanceof beating them or we peak in thenext couple of weeks," saidFeeley.

Over the next two^ weeks,

Coach Wescott will attempt tobring the runners ' physical condi-tion to a peak , by reducing train-ing mileage and conductingshorter but more intense speedworkouts. The top runners wil lbegin to concentrate on qualify-ing for the Division III Nationa lChampionships which will be heldIn Virginia this year.

Mules rally forsecond win

by Paul Mooney

Rallying with two fourthquarter touchdowns, the Mulesmade it two in a row with adra matic 20-13 victory overhapless Bates College lastSaturday .

In beating GBB rival Bates theMules did two things. First, theyfurther confirmed coach ChrisRaymond's belief that they cansuccessfully compete, with all butthe elite of the NESCAC, dispell-ing notions that the previousweek's Middlebury victory -was afluke. Secondly , they emerged asthe team to beat in the race for theCBB crown, an honor Colby hasnot enjoyed for 11 years,

Although the Mules lacked thesharpness and intensity present inthe previous week's Middleburyupset,, they came up with big playswhen necessary to raise theirrecord to 2-4. In defeating the0-5-1 Bobcats before 1500 chillyonlookers, Colby assembled itsfirst two-game win streak in fouryears while setting the stage for aNov. 12 CBB Championship mat-chup with Bowdoin at SeavernsField .

The Colby offense appeared tohave picked up where it had leftoff in the first-half of the Mid-dlebury game, marching 91 yardsin 17; plays and scoring on a29-yard run by fullback AndySennett following the openingkickoff. But Bates responded withan 11 play, 81 yard scoring driveof its own , and after a blockedconversion attempt , led !-<>. Ontheir next possession the Bobcatsmoved 53 yards and scored on a

Charlie Richardson run from thetwo, giving Bates a 13-7 lead.

The Mules began to gainmomentum in the second half.After a Jay Kemble punt pinnedBates at its own goalline, thedefense responded and forced theBobcats to punt from their end-zone- Mike Marra returned theball 18 yards to the 21, and fiveplays later quarterback Mike Riccirolled right five yards for thetouchdown, tying the game at13-13.

On the ensuing kickoff , JeffBallaine recovererd a Bates fum-ble at the 25 putting the Mules inscoring position. Following apenalty and a sack, Colby wasfaced with second down and 26from the 42, but Ricci respondedwith passes of 11 and 15 yards toVinnie Emery, keeping the drivealive at the fourteen. Two playslater , Marra dove for the winningscore from the one. Kemble's ex-tra point made it 20-13.

Down only—one touchdownwith 5 minutes remaining, Batesassumed possession at its ten, buton a fourth and one attempt fromthe 19, quarterback Ron Garrisonwas stopped for a loss by AndyDubino , Mike Vail , and MarkPhillips. Although the Mules lostthe ball on downs four plays later,a Tom Valinote interception with40 seconds remaining ended allcomeback hopes.

The victory leaves Colbyundefeated in what Raymondcalls his "second season," andkeeps alive the possibility for a 4-4overall season. Although Ray-

Elegantviolence

by Cindy Matrazzo

What is Colby Women 'sRugby? The team motto "ElegantViolence" says it all. The clubconsists of 35 fearless females whocan withstand high levels of pain.Unlike varsity team sports, Rugbyis not funded by the athleticdepartment and is entirely studentrun. This team is not transportedto other colleges in a Colby van,nor put up in hotels, rather , theseRugby lovers convoy as far asDartmouth in private cars andsleep on unfamiliar dormitorylounge carpeting. The club isgrateful for the dedicatedcoaching of members of theMen's Rugby Club.

During its four years in ex-istence at Colby, Women's Rugbyhas steadily improved, proudlywrapping up this season with se-cond place in the Maine Tourna-ment, hosted by Colby on Oc-tober 29. UMO was the victor,overcoming Bowdoin and Colby;Bowdoin beat Bates to take third;and Bates winless was left in thedust.

The Colby Women's RugbyClub closed the fall season with anoverall record of 2-4. The squaddropped decisions to B.C. 10-4i toDartmouth 14-0 and 20-0, and toUMO 8-0. Colby's two victorieswere against Yale 8-0 and Bates8-0. Impressed with the seasonsplay, Captain Donna "Deano"Altenpole added, "The playingwas very professional and therewas outstanding cooperation. Wewere lucky not to have sustainedany serious injuries this fall.Altenpole also commented on theplentiful supply of talentedfreshmen, adding that the seasonwas a rebuilding one for thescrum. Despite this fact, many ofthe starting backs are seniors andwill be lost to graduation.

The Colby Women's RugbyClub relies on cooperation anddedication. It is bound by teamspirit. These factors havefacilitated great improvement inclub over the past four years andthey are looking toward continuedstrength.

Field hockeydrops tenth

by Kimberley Fitch

In their season finale, lastWednesday Colby field hockeybowed to University of Maine atOrono by a score of 4-1. Althoughthe seniors were anxious to endtheir final season .with a .homewin , Colby's force couldn 'toutscore the UMO squad,, thegame ended in a Colby loss. In-deed, the Colby players were op-timistic at half-time, their seasonending match looked like a feasi-ble victory. At the half, Colby wasdown by only two goals . Colbyshowed the home crowd their per-sistance and endurance during se-cond half play. Though the Col-by offense poured shot after shoton goal , Co-captain LeddyRoberts was the only teammember to score. Further into thesecond half , Colby had a neargoal, but the score was takenaway when the official judged theattempt as dangerous. Two moregoals were scored by UMO beforethe final whistle.

Though Colby was not able toconquer the UMO team, accor-ding to Co-captain Sheila Ryan ,

the Mules clearly dominated thefield. Leddy Roberts points outthat the team did not let up at anypoint during the game. CoachDebbie Pluck . named- three"players of the game": SheilaRyan , Jessica Gywnne, andSharon Kehoe. These defensivemembers led the team in tacklesand interceptions.

The Mules ended the '83 seasonwith a 2-10 record . Indeed, thevarsity team has lost a recordnumber of seniors at season's end.What will happen next year?Coach Pluck has given the non-senior members ample playing ex-perience. Next fall , many young,experienced players will make upthe team. ^

The squad will bid goodbye totheir senior members at the break-up dinner on Friday. Awards forMost Valuable Player and Most[improved Player will be announc-ed at that time. The State Tour-nament will be held on the Colbyfield on November 6th. UMO andBates College will travel to Col-by to battle for first place in thisstate championship.

• Women's Tennisof 8-1. Erin Borgeson and KrissieRalff split the first two sets withtheir Clark opponents beforedarkness set in, as did KarynWeafer and Karen Mitchell inthird doubles.

There were some frustratingmoments for Colby this year, suchas the loss of its state title to Bow-doin and shutout losses to Divi-sion I powers Vermont and New

Hampshire. But there were som:pleasant moments too, not th:least of which was the revenge winover Bowdoin two weeks ago.And the Mules also brought homea couple of double's crowns fromthe state meet. This was ac-complished by a squad that hadonly two seniors on it , so thefuture looks promising. Con-gra'tualtions to the women's ten-nis team for a job well done*

• Pyschologistswill visit on a regular basis. Some will see either Perez or Irgangfor an entire semester, a year or even for their entire college career.Others will visit but once. Should a student be in some way in-timidated by the concept of visiting a "shrink" he may always resortto a simple phone call to "touch base," Irgang says. "I've neverhad a student be sorry after a visit," she adds.

Dr. Perez and Janet Irgang have made themselves visible in otherfacets of the Colby community. They have prepared lectures andactivities which focused on stress, .anxiety, and depression. Thisallows them to become involved and available in an informal set-ting. During Orientation, all head residents were trained in a super-visory skills workshop. All of dormstaff attended a counseling skillsworkshop. Such services are available on a. continuing basis.

In case of an acute crisis, a student could contact either Irgangor Perez twenty four hours a day. This however is quite rare at Colby.Dr. Perez has seen only two suicides at Colby in the past twentyyears, this falls below the naitonal average of the number two killerof voting adults.

Woodsman meet- by George Hull

Not all Colby students used thethree day weekend as vacationtime. A small but spirited ColbyWoodsmen's team headed northon Oct. 21. Their destination wasNew Brunswick, for their firstcomp e t i t ion .

Arriving late that night, theteam stumbled to a .spot in theschool gymnasium. MembersDwight Trainer, Wendy Lapham,Bret Oakes, George Hull, andcaptain Matt Moran needed a fewhours sleep before the upcomingmeet .

The next morning all the com-petitors were treated to a heartybreakfast from the world renown-ed Beaver Food Service. Tensionfilled the air as variousWoodsman's teams from Canadaand New England surveyed eachother for the first time:

The day's events began withfelling. Crowds cheered onLapham and Moran as their skilland dexterity emerged. Followingthis event, woodsmen competed inthe axe throw, pulp toss, scootload, tobacco spit , and speeddrop. Other events includedorienteering, log splitting, firebuilding, and the infamous tug ofwar .

Throughout the day, the proud

but small Colby team gave way tothe more experienced teams. Col-by members, however, are pleas-ed at the experience they gainedand the enjoyable competition.

The Colby Woodsman's teamis an informal organization oncampus. Members decide collec-tively on mutually convenienttimes for practices. The clubwelcomes all newcomers and en-courages new members to sharpenthei r skills .

Views on Grenada invasion-

A&%. ¦ ¦

by Maxwell Glenand Cody Shearer

WASHINGTON ~ At theGOP's 1980 national conventionin Detroit , about 500- sang;uineyoung Republicans rallied in sup-port of Ronald Reagan outside hishotel. From the decibel level oftheir roars, one could easily sensean unquestioning enthusiasmamong Youth for Reagan-

Yet the din could not drown outat least once concent voiced bymany of the young Reganites:Would their man ship them off towar, and , if so, would the causebe justifiable?

Recollection thai fear ofdubious batle often knows no par-tisan lines prompted us to surveycollege newspaper editors for thecampus reaction to last week'sescalation of U.S. military in-volvement overseas. While sen-timents were mixed , we foundthem hardly enthusiastic.

At Ohio State University inColumbus , Gretel Wikle of TheLantern (daily circ. 35,000) saidthat students generally and thenewspaper 's nine editors in par-ticular had approved of last Tues-day 's U.S. - sponsored invasion ofGrenada , but not simply for thepurpose of "saving" Americanlives. "We're convinced thatGrenada posed a military threat

to the U.S.," Wilke said on behalfof the Lantern 's editorial board.Yet last week the same editorsvoted to call for the immediatewithdrawal of U.S. troops fromLebanon.

Reaction at the University ofMassachusetts took a morenegative tack. "This campus as awhole would tend to be veryagainst the invasion ," said JoelMyerson of the MassachusettsDaily Collegain (circ. 17,000),which devoted three pages to thestory. "There is some fear of thedraft (coming back)., .and of somekind of war because of our in-volvement in different parts of theworld ." Myerson said that the in-vasion wou ld "spark not onlymore general awareness but alosaction on the part of the wholestudent body."

Sentiment at the University ofTennessee in Knoxville was morerepresentative. Roger Bryant ofthe UT Daily Beacon (circ.15,000) conceded, "Most peopledon 't know what to think ," bu tthat they "have some reserva-tions. " In an editorial publishedOct. 26, the Beacon contendedthat "The explanation of ourgovernment should be approach-ed with great skepticism" and that"the specter of imperialism hangsover us today. "

Though Bryant said that he

hadn't sensed an increased fear of: *ona draft , he added that there wasevidence of gallows humor among *students. "Some people," Bryant ^said , "have made joking ,j ,references , things like, 'Now we.,have a choice (of trouble spots to. „see), what with the Middle East ,,.Central America and now the ,Caribbean. ' "

From the Editors

Many people believe that Colby's students are apathetic to events in the 'real world,'and there is ho little evidence to support their contention. Perhaps it is because Col-by is; physically isolated , or possibly because students here are more concerned withclasses than current events, but whatever the reason , students often seem unmovedby the world at large.

There is.increasing evidence, however, th at this is not entirely.the case. Faced withthe invasion of Grenada and the Marine force in Lebanon, people are beginnin g totake note of world news. More importantly, however, is the fact that many are mak-ing personal decisions. To fight , or not? Go along with the draft , if it comes, or desert?These are issues which have not been seriously asked for some years, but now studentsare once again confronting them.

The teach-ins and guest lectures on Grenada have been well attended , proof th atthere is widespread interest in the subject. And a protest in Waterville is planned ,proof that some, at least, have, taken a stand. Neither of these things can be bad.

However optimistic these signs, though , there remains a large number of Colbystudents who still seem apathetic; students who choose not to know much atiout

~ Grenada, or anything else outside Colby's borders. The excuses are always ready,from 'too much work' to 'I don't want to think about il until I graduate .' andeverything in between. ,

At other times- such excuses might work. Now , however, is not the time to -worrymore about grades than about decisions which will affect lives. Support Reagan, ordon 't , support the Lebanese peace keeping force or don 't , support the Grenada in-vasion , or don 't. The important thing is to make a decision, and to spend the t hru.*to learn enough about the topic so that the choice is intelligent.

Students need tomake a choice

In perspective

Combating Colby's * anti-intellectual' imageby Michael Heel

Four weeks ago I wrote about my concern with what I viewedas a growing identity crisis at Colby, fostered by all members ofthe college community. In that commentary, my main criticism wasdirected at perceived attitudes of negativism toward the student body.My concern is not so much that various faculty and administrationmembers are critical of Colby students. To the contrary, construc-tive criticism helps us better ourselves. My worry is, however, thatin endeavoring to imporve us, individuals will set unrealistic andunhealthy goals for Colby students - goals which we cannot, shouldnot , and need not meet. ^The criticism which prompts this commentary has been made bystudents as well as faculty: that the students at Colby College areanti-intellectual. This statement bothers me, primarily because I seelittle truth in it. Some advise that steps be taken to improvejhe in-tellectual life on campus. While I can understand the obvious con-cern for making such improvments at an academic institution - suchintent is commendable -1 see such efforts as being counter-productiveto the learning process.

To begin with , I fail to understand why Colby is viewed as anti-intellectual. Presumably, every student here has some measure ofintellectual prowess, as none of us could be here if we did not. Thus,as individuals, we are all intellectual, though at varying degrees. Tosay that we are not would be to damn the very system which ac-cepted us into college. I am not taking an idealistic stance - Colbymaintains an academic policy strictly defining allowable minimumacademic performance. So long as the school enforces this policy,students will, by necessity, maintain a certain level of intellectualact ivity. >

This logic assumes that intellectualism is defined as the academicchallenge provided by Colby. For those who define intellectualismotherwise, book learning is only a part of the mental growth thatstudents should be encountering. Some undoubtedly use "intellec-tualism" as a"means of describing the behavior of a person activelyand vigourously pursuing knowledge - does Colby really have a shor-tage of these individuals? If so, then why are there so many scholars

at Colby? We have Mayflower Hill Scholars, Dana Scholars, Bix-ler Scholars, Presidential Scholars, L.L. Bean Scholars, BuncheScholars, Phi Beta Kappa Scholars, and Dean's List Scholars. Thesepeople did not get their designations because of sheer book-learningsuccess. Rather, their sincere pursuit of knowledge sets them apart- to lable them anti-intellectual would discredit their perosnal achiev-ment. I would add, too, that Colby could not be made up merelyof scholars and anti-intellects - such a view would be unrealistic andsimplistic.

Some might equate intellectualism with awareness, noting thatColby students seem to care little about events not directly concer-ning them, and so, are anti-intellectual. Although this view may bea commgnly held one, recent events on the campus directly con-tradict this thought. After the Korean jetliner incident, a well-attended forum was organized at Tau Delta Phi fraternity; the re-cent Grenada invasion has set off debate in classrooms, dorms, din-ing halls, even on the campus sidewalks: the upcoming presidential

unaware, or unproductive to those critical of Colby students isunclear; perhaps a combination of all four characteristics bestdescribes the idea. Nevertheless, no matter what the definition , in-dividuals still find a need to improve intellectual life here. Such move-ment to "improve" Colby's intellectual atmosphere may producethe opposite of intended effects.

The recent trustee hearings and surveys on residential life havequesitoned students as to whether or not their living units "furtherthe intellectual life at Colby." The question assumes that studentsbelieve dorms and fraternities should further the intellects of itsresidents - most students do not carry such a belief. Our professorsworry that we stop learning once the classroom period ends; someseem to actually forget , however, that we do read novels andnewspapers, do homework, and interact on serious topics.

The current Colby craze seems to be a compulsion towardacademic honesty, and an intensified drive to create a more involv-ed academic atmosphere. Academic housing or more numerousforums will not succeed in increasing intellectual activity at Colbyfor several reasons, the most important of which is that some studentsdo want to get away from it all when they leave the classroom. Forothers, the majority, intellectual activity comes naturally in a relaxedatmosphere of calm conversation ,

election has caused tlak here and there, as has the traditional con-cern for nuclear arms; ahd Governor Brennan 's and Alex Haley'sguest lectures also represent a willingness for Colby students to listen,learn, and be aware outside the classroom.

Whereas some use "anti-intellectualism" to describe the condi-tions I have set forth - conditions where there might be a perceivedabsence of intellectualism - others define "anti-intellectualism" asthe conscious subduing and prevention of intellectual activity. Thisbelief is a popular one at Colby, and athletes are the primary targetsof such criticism. The perception that football players, for exam-ple, see intellectual individuals as "uncool" and so strive to be anti-intellectual is a widely held, and ridiculous, idea. No single groupof individuals at Colby deliberately attempts to avoid intellectualgrowth , and no group pressures others to do so either. Careers andgraduate school placement are at stake - no one wishes to appearunintelligent. Anyone labelling Colby students anti-intellectual onthese grounds is hopelessly out of contact with his/her students orpeers.

Whether anti-intellectual means unintelligent, unmotivated ,

quiet reading, or a more vigorous environment with debate andargument- all of this instructuial , and appreciated by the participants.

Why , then, set up an artificial atmosphere especially for the pur-pose of furthering the "liberal arts promise?" Students know theirown limitations, and just as too much partying creates a one-sidedindividual , so too, does too much academically-oriented activity.

To have more intellectual stimulation- especially, as I have triedto prove, since it is unnecessary at Colby- would create real anti-intellectual attitudes on campus, as students would start to activelyavoid and suppress academic growth in themselves and others. Colbystudents are not future members of society 's Brain trust. Rather ,we are a collection of intelligent , aware, and inte ractive indiivdualswho will be capable of clearly relating knowledge and ideas to oursociety's peers. The balance between social and academic growthis an important one; in our enthusiasm to develop growth of themind , let us not forget Colby 's number one responsibility, whichis developing the growth of the entire individual.

To the Editor:

My purpose in writing is to ex-press my complete disappoint-ment in the selection of the newfurniture in the Chapman Roomof Special Collections.

The Special Collections roomsare three lovely, traditional Col-by rooms dedicated to a fine col-lection of literary works andshould reflect the elegance andrichness of this collection. I, as-a

Chapman furniture poorstudent, have always enjoyed stu-dying in these rooms and am verypleased with the furnishing of theHealy and Robinson Rooms. Thedecor is tasteful , traditional andin keeping with the feeling of thiscollection. The Chapman Room,I feel , has been ruined by the newaddition of four lavendar chairs,four violet chairs and the twoscarlet ottomans which ratherbelong in a more contemporary

setting.I strongly suggest a re-

evaluation of the choice in fur-nishing the Chapman Room. Iwould hope a change will be madeand this new furniture replacedwith a more traditional ensembledesigned to contribute rather thansubtract dignity from the SpecialCollections rooms.

Carl Mark Raymond

To the Editor:

I wholeheartedly agree withMichael Heel's article, "TheDrawback of Achieving Diversi-ty." As a faculty wife, who alsoworks full-time on campus, I amstruggling through French.

I didn't give the language re-quirements at Colby muchthought until I did begin takingFrench myself. I have always con-sidered myself as bright as theaverage Colby student, yet, Idefinitely do not have a"gift" forlanguages. As I do work full-time,I can equate that with the averageColby student's course-load study

Language requirements depressing

requirements. I also have theaverage wife and mother demandson my time. 1 find that I spend 2-3hours and occasionally 4-5-hoursper night struggling through myFrench, but here I have an advan-tage. I am doing it for interest, notfor graduation requirements.

If I were a full-time Colby stu-dent, my language requirementwould probably be fulfilled with4 semesters of 4 differentlanguages in an attempt to.see ifperhaps I had a "gift" withSpanish rather than French, Ger-man rather than Spanish , etc. Iwould undoubtedly do very wellwith other requirements and my

major courses. This situationwould definitely DEPRESS meand probably color my entire Col-by career.

I must say, though, that I findthe Modern Languages facultyand staff to be most helpful andunderstanding. I really have, the

feeling that they are working ashard as I am to help me succeed,and they have my sincere ap-preciation. They know how dif-ficult it is. -;

Letters -—¦ — — ——— Benefits of 'arts dorm' to community seem slight at bestTo The Editor:

It appears that a major part ofthe controversial print in the Echoconcerns the fraternity system andcampus housing. Among thealternatives advocated for therestructuring of Colby socialorganization is the replacement ofthe fraternities with special in-terest housing. We would like to

inform you of the benefits thatour special interest housing,Leonard-the 'arts dorm,' hasbestowed upon its occupants andthe rest of the Colby community.

In our opinion this 'arts dorm'has made practically no contribu-tion to its occupants, to the Col-by community, or . . . to art. Ithas provided a certain select groupwith good housing and a way to

circumvent the insanity of roomdraw. Some have argued that thereason that this dorm has not beena center for artistic achievementand collaboration is that notenough 'artsy' people are in thedorm. We don't see how thisallows the organizers of the 'arts

dorm' and those people who weregiven special housing here tojustify the lack of dorm and cam-pus events for the promotion ofthe fine arts.

*_

This is not explicitly an argu-ment against special housing. Theone or two events put on inLeonard , especially theKaleidashow, were great. Werealize that without any significantfunding events are practically im-possible to organize. The fact is,however, that funds are available

if properly requested. Possiblesources for funding are RLC, Stu-A, and the Dean of Housing's Of-fice. In a recent dorm meeting notone Leonard resident who receiv-ed special housing showed up. Ifspecial housing was properlyorganized by motivated studentsthey would be able to apply forfunding and make a real contribu-

tion to the campus. Other schoolsaccept and reaccept special hous-ing on the basis of stated and im-plemented agendas. Colby shouldconsider this as a possible methodof regulating special housing.Otherwise, students will be able tocontinue to get good housingwithout going through room drawor because they 'deserve' it for

their contributions to the Colbycommunity.

If the Leonard 'arts dorm' is anexample of the future socialorganization of Colby, then, forthe promotion of fine arts, thestudent body will have to lookback at how they are embodied inthe present social structure. Onlywhat will be more memorable, the

contribution? of this dorm, or thatmade by the DKE art sale, re-mains to be seen.

To the Editor:

The ECHO editors commentedlast week that a system is neededto "satisfy the needs of latedrinkers": we would like to offera few suggestions:

Colby drinking

1) Start. "Colby Houses"downtown. The college could rentapartments adjacent to the mostpopular bars and set them up aslounges for the late nightdrinkers- a place to sleep off theeffects of the alcohol. A specialjitney service could run by everymorning and cart the drinkers upto school in time for 8:30 classes.2) Have current jitney driversdistribute buttons to their late

night passengers. Buttons willchange color from green to red aswearer becomes intoxicated , andslogan on button "will read: IFWEARER IS FOUND DRUNK ,PLEASE CALL THE JITNEYAT.872-...3) Have pick-up trucks filled withhay, make hourly rounds, pastWaterville nightspots, picking updrunken stragglers. Trucks wil!then drop drunks at the Garrison-Foster Center for AlcoholRehabilitation. (Moderate or nondrinkers on campus will be ex-pected to donate portions of theirlivers to this worthy cause.)

Marlene SchmidtD. Gordon Brown

• Lett ers —Jitney service already running with drinkers in mindTo .the Editor:

The entire Colby Communitywas shocked and horrified by theaccident that seriously injuredthree male students. Undoubted-ly, if alcohol was involved, this in-cident hits far too close to homefor many of us who have drivenafter having too much to drink .

We have been preached at andwarned, time and again, about thedangers of drinking and driving,yet we choose mot to hear or takeaction to prevent our own poten-tial disasters. .

Certainly an alternative is need-ed, and one already exists in theform of the present Jitney service.Had the editors more closely

researched their last editorial, theywould have found that Jitney runshave been extended to midnightevery night of the week exceptSunday. Had the editors glancedoyer a Jitney schedule, availableat Robert's desk, outside of theSafety and Security office, andposted on numerous bulletinboards, they would have seen themessage urging students to use theJitney as transportation to andfrom downtown drinking loca-tions. It appears that editors alsofailed to notice the signs posted,until recently, on both sides ofRobert's desk informing studentsabout the Jitney's special services.

The department of Safety andSecurity in conjunction with Stu-dent Activities has been workingon a poster, again, to informstudents about using the Jitney foralcohol related functions. Thus, aviable alternative does already ex-ist. If students do not use theJitney in order to avoid drinkingand driving because of minor in-conveniences such as adhering toa regular schedule or walking afew hundred yards to the con-course stop, we must reassess our

priorities as responsible adults.Upon leaving Colby, nothing likethe Jitney will exist. We shouldbegin to assert mature judgementnow, and take advantage of thisservice while we have it. What islacking in the success of thisvaluable alternative is student par-ticipation. We cannot forcestudents to use the Jitney, we can

only make the community moreaware of the services offered .Upon request, Jitney drivers willtake you to any location, pick youup at a desired time, and run un-til 1AM if neceissary.

This tragic accident can neitherbe attributed to a lack of propertransportation nor to the men in-volved in it. We do not know what

caused this accident but, "Obvious-ly, knowledge pf the Jitney ser-vices did not prevent it. Perhapsit will prevent future accidents.The choice is yours.
