Wildcat guard Kenny Wilson scored 15 points in the VUlaiiova66-54 win over B.C.

By JOHN RICCOSports Editor

For teams with serious NCAAtournanvent aspirations, a 20-winseason is a common mark to shootfor. To win 20 games, especially

in one of the nation's top confer-

ences, usually means an automat-ic berth in the tournament which,for many, marks the pinnacle of

the sports year.

Last Saturday the VillanovaWildcats took a giant step towards"the NCAA promised land" withtheir solid 66-54 beating of the

Boston College Eagles in theBoston Garden.The Wildcat's 1987-88 out-of-

conference-schedule is such that

it is remarkably void of the so-

called "gift" games with whichmany team's around the nationpad their schedule. If one looks at

a list of the Wildcat's opponentsonly four or five fit into this

category.

This means the team mustaccumulate 15 or 16 victories

against the best competition thenation has to offer to make the

tournament.

One place the squad looks for

some easy wins is against its

lesser conference rivals. Thoughtalk of parity is sweeping throughcollege basketball, there still

remain teams which should repres-

ent wins for the Cats. The Eaglesare one such team.

"We definitely can't afford to

StajJ Reporter

People start to wonder what theVillanova women's track teamwill do for an encore as the indoorseason unfolds. It always seemslike once a Wildcat steps onto thetrack, the only real mystery is

who will secure second place.

Well, this past weekend five

Cats went up to the MillroseGames to show the New Yorkerswhat they were made of. Fourrunners garnished yet anothervictory and an American record.

The fifth walked away with acollegiate record and the satisfac-

tion of knowing that she is capableof running with anyone in theworld.

Junior Vicky Huber knew whatshe was up against. The Panason-ic Mile contained no less than five

Olympians, two of them Gold-Medal winners.

Head Coach Marty Stern told

Huber, "This won't feel like theOlympic Trials. This is what it

will feel like running in theOlympics." It was by far the mostcompetitive race of Huber's life.

"Vicky was a bit in awe of thecompetition, but didn't let it affect

her negatively — she ran her ownrace and didn't let anyone affect

her strategy." Huber ran one ofher fastest half miles en route toa mile time of 4:28.31, a collegiate

record and personal best, on awooden track not designed for fast

limes. She hung on to finish third

behind Romanian multi-medalistDoina Melinte and Britain'sKirstyWade.A little while later, the two-mile

relay team, consisting of freshmanMichelle Bennett and juniorsKathy Franey, Michelle DiMuroand Celeste Halliday, was in aworld-record state of mind. Themark of 8:41.70 was unqucttien-ably within their capebiliticft —it waH now up the them to go get

it.

Bennett got things started witha strong leadoff leg, drawingpraise from Stern. "It's a bigcredit for a freshman to lead off

at Millrose. She responded bril-

liantly to the pressure, and I wasvery proud of her," he said.

She gave the Cats an early lead

and handed the stick over to

Franey, who opened up moredaylight and handed off to DiMu-ro. "I'd particularly like to single

out Michelle," pointed out Stem."I'm as proud of her as I am of

any runner to ever attend Villan-

ova. She has been in the shadowof some great runners, and at

Millrose she came out and showedeveryone that she is truly one of

the finest runners in America,something which we alwaysknew."DiMuro blew the race wide open

with a scintillating half in 2:06and handed off toanchor HalUdav.

Unfortunately, a perfect eveningwas not to be. Stern explains, "Wehave Celeste run anchor becauseshe responds best under pressure.

We were on world record pace, yet

we received no help — the Mad-ison Square Garden announcerwas giving the results of other

races and never even informed the

crowd of our status. The crowdcan help push a runner against

the clock, and might very well

have helped us break the worldrecord."

The Cats missed the worldrecord by a tantalizing two-tenths

of a second, and one can only

wonder if it might have beenbroken had the crowd been a

factor. Their time of 8:41.90

turned out to be an American andcollegiate record, and makes them,akmg with Huber, heavy favorites

for the NCAA's.

>^>..:3k

ence teams),^' said sophonsorecenter Tom Greis. **When you'replayingâ team who people thihkare a lesser oppoiient, opposed taa team like Pittsburgh, there is

the temptation .to take it for

granted that you will beat them,or look past them to anotherbigger game. We can't afford to

do that.

With such conference rivals asPittsburgh and Georgetown com-ing in the next week, it wouldhave been easy foi- the Wildcatsto do just that, and look beyondthe Eagles. Seton Hall and Geor-getown, both losers to B.C., tried

that approach and lost.

Fortunately, the Wildcatslearned from both the Hoyas' and

Piratear* mistakes, and mar own(their 82-76 loss to sevcîth-place

Providence), and set their sights

fully on the upset-minded Eagles.

"We went into the game in avery business-like fashion, know-ing that we had a jot to, do; to

bear Boston College." Greis ttiid.

To stop the Ragles means onething- shutting down junior point

guard Dana Baros. Baros, a pre-

season first team All-Big Eastselection, is averaging.21 .9 ppg.,and is not only the îgles' floor

leader but the glue of the B.C.

team.

Though Baros managed to

pump in a game-high 17 points hewas not as big a factor as the

Eagles would have liked.

With the Big East Tournamentand the NCAA's just weeks away,the Villanova women's basketball

team started to pick up steam last

In the Boston College game.Aiigelotti scored a career-high 36points. Assistant Coach LynnTighe commented. "Our half-

The Rev. John M. Driscoll,

O.S.A., University president, will

deliver his final State of the

University address at the Univer-

sity Senate meeting scheduled for

4 p.m. in the west lounge of

Dougherty Hall, according to Dr.

Philip A. Maurone, Senate chair-

person and physics professor.

The order of Senate businesswill also include a student life

report on coed dormitories, accord-

ing to the Senate agenda.

Maurone said he does not knowwhat topics Driscoll will present

in his address to the Senate.

Following the president'saddress, the Senate will announcethat its next meeting scheduled

for March 18. in tHRfest lounge

tions by the committee will be

redundant."

The last order of official busi-

ness will concern a report on coeddormitories from the departmentof internal affairs of StudentGovernment.According to Phil Brach, Stu-

The report was compiled to

address thetasue ofcoed residencehalls, at Villanova. It includes

research of previous studies of the

issue, responses from other North-eastern coUei^ who have coed-

Dr. Richard A. Neville, vice

president for Student Life, said,

"I thought it [the report] repre-

sented a lot of work ... it seemsto me that the outcome is notconclusivebecauseequal amountsof people are both in favor andopposed."

Fifty Northeastern collegeswere contacted in the fall of 1967to obtain information on thesuccesses and the failures of coedresidence halls at their school.

The report sUtes, "All the letters

received from the different insti-

tutiona indicated an overwhelm-ing tuooess of coed dorms at thdrspools."The report also asserts, "Since

Restorathn plans continueBy LAURA STEVENS

Staff Reporter

Efforts to raise money andrefine plans for the Main Chapelrestoration project are continuing,

said the Rev. Shawn T. Tracy,O.S.A., director of CampusMinistry.

Tracy cited "obvious needs" in

the chapel, which is more than 100

years old. Spots most in need of

renovation include the floor, the

benches, the sanctuary floor, the

"poor" lighting and the wiring,

which "is to the point of being

dangerous."

Other plans include restoring

the stained glass windows, updat-

ing the "outmoded" heating sys-

tem, and possibly installing a

climate control system, he said.

In addition to the physical needs

in the chapel for renovation, there

are liturgical needs in the build-

ing's structure and atmosphere.Tracy cited the priority estab-

lished by the Vatican II council

for developed liturgical designs

and structures that will facilitate

a spiritual appreciation of the

church services.

"The flow of people in the

service should be freed up for aspiritual sense ... as God's people,

they should be flexible in heart

and prayer and able to move to

the altar at procession time- andable to gather in such a flexible

pattern as services such as bap-

tism and matrimony wouldinvite," explained Tracy.

Restoration plans would there-

fore include an effort to structure

the aisles and benches in order to

facilitate movement to and fromthe altar. Bench positions mightbe adjusted so that no location will

block a person from a full viewof the altar.

These needs may call for a

change of the general chapeldesign. Tracy stressed, however,that "the traditional motif of the

atmosphere will remain intact."

Costs for the renovations will

be "well over $1 million," esti-

mates Tracy. The University is

planning to establish the Coven-

ant in foundation to raise moneyfor the restoration project.

The project "has already beenstarted in terms of preparation,"

explained Tracy.

Tracy expects that the chapel

will have to be closed for up to

six months. "If we replace the

floor," he said, "the chapel will

be closed for some time."

He said, however, that most of

the work will be done while

students are away, so there will

be a minimal disturbance of the

spiritual atmosphere of the

chapel.

Rutgers fresh pledge dies

Fund raising and the refining of plans for the Main Chapel restorationare continuing, according to the Rev. Shawn T. Tracy, O.S.A., directorof Campus Ministry.

By NOEL E. FALCONews Editor

Rutgers University freshmanJames Callahan, 18, a pledge of the

Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity,

died after an all-night party at the

fraternity's house last week,apparently of alcohol poisoning,

according to an article in Mon-day's Philadelphia Inquirer.

Callahan "reportedly was given

a vomit bag and told to 'drink until

you were sick,' " according to

Monday's article.

Callahan was pronounced dead

Feb. 12 at the Robert Wood John-

son University Hospital in NewBrunswick, NJ., where he hadbeen taken from the fraternity

house, according to a Philadelphia

Inquirer article Saturday.

Saturday's article also said that

the fraternity house was left

"destroyed" after the party and

that several other students werefound to be suffering from "appar-

ent alcohol over-consumption."

Middlesex County Prosecutor

Alan A. Rockoff said in Saturday's

article that another freshman washospitalized, treated and released,

while several other students

caused concern for the fraternity

brothers, who observed their

condition for several hours.

In Saturday's article, Rockoff

said that about 40 or 50 fraternity

members and guests attended the

party. Police said that people hadapparently been drinking a mix-

ture of vodka, triple sec and lime

juice, known as a "kamikaze."

According to Saturday's article,

city building inspector Michael

Gupko said the fraternity house

was "literally destroyed" during

the party and therefore he ordered

the building vacated and pad-

locked. The New Brunswick police

department reported Wednesdaythat the fraternity house wasclosed.

Investigators have not yet deter-

mined whether anyone will be

charged in Callahan's death, said

Rockoff in Saturday's article.

Rockoff's office has begun a

criminal investigation of the

incident, according to Monday'sarticle.

The incident has motivated the

university to ban indefinitely

social activities by the school's

nearly 50 fraternities and soror-

ities on the New Brunswick cam-

pus, according to Monday'sarticle.

About a week before this inci-

dent, 48 Princeton students whowere attending parties to join

campus eating clubs (the univer-

sity's equivalent of fraternities]

were treated for alcohol-related

illness.

Studentgovernment to study scholarshipsBy JENNIFER REIDY

Assistant News Editor

lo response to concerns withscholarships and financial aid,

members of Student (government

plan to establish a task force

committee to examine the possi-

bility of increasing the number of

academic scholarships available

to incoming freshmen, as well as

to currently-enrolled students.

tivity of the decision process, the

presidential scholarships serve to

attract an elite group of students,

the "cream of the crop" of highschool applicants from across the

country, Holobetz said.

Hecommented, "They seek to

enhance and diversify the envi-

ronment of the University byadding different characters of

people to the community, as wHlas promote academic excellence."

. The strongest argument against

the increase of the number of

academic scholarships is the fact

that about one-quarter of the

granted presidential scholarships

are refuaed, according to I>r.

Micfaad £. Burke, director of the

hoBSfs praigram.

'The reason for this is mostprahaUy that the student wasaooiB9tad somewheie else, and

i to enroll tiMK* Thus this

defeats our argument to increase

scholarships because we haven't

justified why there needs to be anincrease," Holobetz noted.

Burke commented that "this

situation is the experience of mostschools. It is nothing unusual.

"I would like to see an increasein academic scholarships, but notat the expense of regular financial

aid programs. The problem is,

where would this funding comefrom?" Burke questioned.

The recipients of the presiden-

tial scholarships receive a full

four-year tuition scholarship,which does not include room andboard. A minimum grade point

aversie must then be maintainedby the awardee."A committee composed of all

academic deans, the dean of

adflussioQs and myself asosss the

i^ldications. grant the interviews

and make the final selections,"Burke said.

Holobetz recently suggestedthat the institution of academicscholarships for currentlyenrolled Villanova students would"stimulate competition within theUniversity as well as increase its

academic atmosphere." Hestressed that this issue is "notwell-defined and very informal —it is still an idea."

"I don't see a^ motivationalproblem with students right now,and I wouldn't want to see aprogram that encourages cut-throat competition at Villanova,"Burke said.

Hok)betz eUborated that "thesescholarships would not beawarded simply on academicmerit, as in the traditional sense.

"The scholarships would bemere likecaah awards for ressardi

projects, based on the premisethat the person could make a vital

contribution to the communitythrough his efforts," Holobetzconcluded.

However, he said that suchscholarships would not aid the

student with tuition payments."The academic scholarships we

have now attract the best stu-

dents, while financial aid canattract many very good students.

This then brings us to a separateproblem — that of financial aid,

which is extraordinarily lacking

at Villanova," Holobetz noted.

"A formal competition las Holo-

betz suggests] would entailnumerous bureaucratic costs.

However, I feel that current aswell as incoming students havelegitimate demands on a systemof limited resources," Burkeconcluded.

Democratic Governor Bruce Babbitt

By GJ. DONNELLYStaff Reporter

Former Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt will have

difficulty continuing his campaign after finishing

sixth in New Hampshire's Democratic primary,

according to an article Wednesday in the New YorkTimes.

Babbitt finished sixth out of the seven candi-

dates running for the Democratic nomination,

garnering only 5 percent of the vote. Only Sen.

Gary Hart of Colorado finished lower, gaining 4

percent of the vote. Babbitt also finished poorly

in the Iowa caucuses held last week, placing sixth.

Babbitt's bid for the White House emerged fromhis reputation as a cooperative liberal populist

willing to work out a compromise for the goodof his constituents.

As a Democrat from a heavily Republican state.

Babbitt, 48, served two terms as governor, starting

in 1978, and managed to push through theconservative legislature innovative environmentaland education bills to improve the state's sagging

deputation in eath area. The result of his workWas a reflection victory by a large margin in id82.

The main focus of his presidential campaignhas been on the deficit and how to cure it. Hecalls for a 5 percent federal sales tax worth $40-

50 billion a year when fully phased in. He wouldalso tax the Social Security benefits of somewealthier people and would limit mortgageinterest deductions.

To further reduce the deficit, Babbitt proposes

half spending cuts designed to save another $40billion in the first year. He also wants to

implement a "universal needs test" to tai^get

spending on "entitlement programs," including

Medicare and Social Security, only to the mostneedy.

He approves giving the president a lineitem vetoon specific spending, and is against the proposedbalanced budget amendment and the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings- Act.

Babbitt's liberal economic policy also extends

to foreign trade. He supports an international

agreement requiring each nation to balance its

trade accounts with all countries, including the

United States, over three years. Violators would

be struck with phased-in tariffs of up to 100

percent.

Although a Catholic, Babbitt's views on social

issues are liberal. He is for free choice on abortion

but against federal funding except in cases of rape,

incest or danger to the mother's life.

On foreign policy. Babbitt supports the INF[intermediate-range nuclear forces] treaty and is

also willing to cut $10 billion from the defense

budget. He also opposes Midgetman missiles andmore MX missiles, but wants to increase conven-

tional readiness.

Babbitt is also willing to continue research onthe Strategic Defense Initiative [SDI], but will

reduce spending on it. He is against aid to the

contras, who are attempting to overthrow the

Nicaraguan government. He is also against

reflagging Kuwaiti tankers, although he is willing

to allow the Navy to remain in the Persian Gulf

to protect them.

Babbitt previously served as Arizona's attorney

general before becoming governor when the

presiding governor died.

Portions of this article were based on reports in

the New York Times, People and the Philadelphia

Inquirer.

Republican Governor Pete duPont

By GJ. DONNELLYStaff Reporter

Former Delaware Gov. Pierre "Pete" duPontfinished poorly in Tuesday's New HampshireRepublican primary, receiving only 10 percent of

the vote. duPont rounded out the bottom of thelist of current Republican candidates for thepresidency, finishing last with former television

evangelist Pat Robertson."duPont has no significant amount of money

left, and his results here will not help raise more.duPont has no organization in the South ... sowhile he may decide to maintain a symboliccandidacy, his future impact is likely to be little

greater than that of former Republican candidateAlexander M. Haig," according to an article in

Wednesday's New York Times.

At 52 years of age, duPont became the first

candidate to formally announce his candidacy for

the nation's highest office. His notoriety has comefnxn the somewhat controversial stands he takes

on what he calls "damn right" issues.

For instance, duPont fovors drug testing for

students, cutting off subsidies for fanners and a

private alternative to Social Security. Hiseconomics are also quite conservative

duPOnt oppooes any tax incrsaae and derides

farmers. In addition, he supports the line-item

veto.

duPont strongly favors free trade and urges tax

cuts in order to stimulate the competitiveness of

American businesses abroad. In other foreign

policy affairs, duPont supports the contras andthe current administration's policy in the Persian

Gulf.

The former governor also supports the Reagandefense budget, although he is unwilling to buyany more MK missiles and would close unneededmilitary bases in order to cut costs. He is a strong

supporter of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI].

Although much of duPont's viewpoint mirrors

that of the Rea^n administration, he is staunchly

opposed to Reagan's signing of the INF[intermedicaterange nuclear forces] treaty.

Before his election as governor in 1976, duPontserved. in the House of Representatives, but

quickly tired of the Congressional grind. Even-

tually duPont gravitated toward the statehouse.

His eight years is the fovemor's chair resulted

in a drop in the unempkiyment rate from 13

percent to 7 percent.

Moreover, there was a cut in income tax fromZOperoent to 9 pormt, which resulted in a large

influx of new businesses fkioding in the state.

Doctor lectures on AIDS virusBy PAUL FRATAMICO

StaffReporter

On Monday, Caroline L.

MacLeod, M.D., gave a lecture onAIDS [Acquired Immune Deficien-

cy Syndrome]. The leicture wasjointly sponsored by the Sigma Xi

Honor society and the biology

department.MacLeod's lecture centered

around the causes and spread of

a variety of infectious diseases,

including AIDS, and their medical

and environmental aspects andprevention.

Accoixling to Dr.Joseph Orkwis-xewski, chairperson of the biokigy

department, MacLeod said the

best way ci preventing AIDS is

behavior noKNiification. The safest

behavior modification is absti-

nence from sexual contact. Improv-

ing environmental and health

conditions woukl also contribute

to public safety.

MacLeod noted that people whoare ill or whose health condition

is poor becauac of limited diet may

be susceptible to the AIDS virus.

She also said that groups at

high risk for AIDS included Hai-

tians, members of the gay com-munity and intravenous drugusers.

MacLeod said that the exchangeof certain bodily fluids amonghigh-risk individuals was onevehicle through which the trans-

mission of the AIDS virus mayoccur.

MacLeod stressed the impor-

tance of changing behavior pat-

terns in preventing the spread of

AIDS. She noted that condomsmay not be an infallible prevent-

ative. Orkwiszewski said that his

impression of her attitude wasthat education, improving health

conditions and behavior nnodifica-

tion were her primaryprescriptions.

Orkwiszewski also noted thatMacLeod cited mosouitos andhorssflies as potential carriee ofthe virua. However, in her lecture.

MacLeod also pointed out that the

Center for Disease Control in

Atlanta, Ga., did not recognize

mosquitos or horseflies as poten-

tial carriers at this time. Herstatements were based largely onher own data and observations.

She noted that there are people

in the tropics who Contracted the

virus, were not in the high-risk

group and did not imitate any of

the behavioral patterns known to

researchers that would explain

how they contracted AIDS.

Tropical environments, includ-

ing certain regions of Florida,

were cited as the key places in

which this type of mosquito activ-

ity could occur.

Orkwiszewski said thatMacLeod's estimation of thenumber of mosquito bites neces-

sary to transmit the AIDS viruswaa very high, but it must beremembered that in this area of

FkMrida, OMsquito concentrationsare so high that these insects maybleed a cow to death.

at the time and if they get thesupport that they need fromvarious groups on campus.During the meeting, it was

speculated that the events wouldtake placeon Mendel Field and theGrotto, said Gorski. She also said

that the festival will begin in theearly afternoon and may last

through dinner, depending if FoodServices agrees.

Also, Gorski said that variousclubs will work food booths andthat themoney made may begivento a social service organization,

such as the Special Olympics or

Project Sunshine.\

Sean Closkey, found^ of SACC[Student Activities on CampusCommittee] initiated the idea in

the fall of last year because he felt

that "there is a lack of social

activities on campus."Gorski said the committee sup-

ported the festival mainly to help

students who live off campus feel

more comfortable coming to the

campus on weekends to use the

facilities.

Dr. Richard A. Neville, vice

president for Student Life, gavethe final permission for the fes-

tival, even though he was con-

cerned that students may act

"violently and irresponsibly"

when they get in a laige group.

He agreedtothefestival becauseit will be an "affair on campus for

recreation . . . engendering spirit"

and because the students whogave him the proposal did so in

a responsible way.Closkey said that providing

akx>hol is a large facttyr in thespring festival because "it is

unrealistic to have a social eventwithout alcohol." He said that theproblem was figuring out theconstraints so as not to conflict

with University regulations.

Gorski supported "providingalcohol for those 21 and overbecause it allows them to socialize

with those who are not yet 21."

She also said that students'

think of the authority as merelybeing "fun-busters." The festival

will be "a way of having alcohol

in a legal and controlled way," andstudents will not have to bring

their own, she said.

She emphasized that this eventwill not be like a tailgate in termsof the control of alcohol.

Gorski said she hopes the spring

festival will become an annualevent. She said that this will

depend on how the festival worksout financially, if the facilities will

be available and how well the

alcohol will be controlled.

Coed

By KRISTEN FALLANSkfffReporttr

Roger Boisjoly, former engineer

for the company that designed the

space shuttle Challenger s faulty

rocket booster, will be speaking

at the Thirteenth Annual Distin-

guished Public Lecture, sponsored

by Villanova's Engineering Joint

Council Feb. 24.

Boisjoly is promoting the impor-

tance of ethical responsibility

among the engineers of today andtomorrow. He has gained insight

into the moral decision-making

process of professionals through

his experience with NASA[National Aeronautical and SpaceAdministration] and the MortonThiokol Corporation, the companycontracted by NASA to design the

solid rocket boosters.

Both NASA and Morton Thiokol

ignored Boisjoly's warnings of

Challenger's flawed 0-ring seal.

Because of his first- hand expe-

rience, Boisjoly has been cam-paigning throughout the country,

urging both students and profes-

sionals to come to the realization

of their responsibility.

He claims, "You have a profes-

sional and moral responsibility to

yourselves and your fellow manto defend the truth and ex;

questionable practices that will

lead to an unsafe product."

It was Boisjoly who, after muchresearch, found the potential

dangers involved in the plannedshuttle lift-off. The managementof Morton Thiokol thoughtBoisjoly's findings were "toosensitive to share with anyone."Subsequently, Boisjoly and his

facts were shunnmeid as prepara-

tions for launch day continued.

Taking a stand and exposmgthe truth was very difficult for

Boisjoly. Yet, he firmly believes

that it takes courage, and the

possible threat of losing a job, to

prevent disasters such as the

Challenger's.

Since the disaster, Boisjoly has

iiled a $1 billion damage suit

against Morton Thiokol, and a $10million damage suit against

NASA. Along with his attempt to

rîn personal losses, Boisjoly

wishes to make it evident to both

agencies "that they cannot makearbitrary and irresponsible deci-

sions that kill people and ruin the

lives and careers of their

employees without account-ability."

Boisjoly also wishes to conveya message to the students of

today. Understanding that engi-

neering students' schedules are

full of required courses, hebelieves in the early exposure andawareness to the possible choices

in ethical decision-making.

Boisjoly will be speaking Feb.

24, in the Villanova Room of the

Connelly Center. A buffet will

begin at 6 p.m., with the lecture

following at 7:45 p.m. The tickets

are $8 per person and are available

at the office of the dean of

Ciccolo added that StudentGovernment is definitely in favor

of coed dormitories.

Student Government is asking

that the two new dormitories to

According to Ciccolo, this wouldalleviate the expense which wouldresult in /remodeling a current

halls.

Ciccolo attributed the results to

a misunderstanding of the issue

by the parents. She said, "Thereare ways of creating coed dormswhile keeping the existing privacy

levels. The option to live in a coed

dorm should be at least offered."

The alumni who were surveyed

had graduated after Villanova hadbecome a coed institution. Ciccolo

said she felt that the issue wasmore understandable by those

who had attended the University

while it was coeducational.

Sixty-eight percent of those

surveyed said they felt that coed

residence halls would not changetheir support of Villanova.

The report also stated, "Theoption of coed halls, though a

modem change, is required if the

University wishes to promote the

best possible experience for its

students."

Neville said, "We seem to beattracting applicants in record

numbers. We don't need thechange to attract more people." Headded, "Much more study of the

question needs to be done before

the administration would make arecommendation."

Greel( support mustbe reconsidered

James Callahan, an 18-year-old Rutgers Universityfreshman and pledge of Lambda Chi Alpha, died fromapparent alcohol poisoning last week in NewJersey. Forty-

eight Princeton University students, who were attendingparties to join campus eating clubs, the University's

equivalent to fraternities, were treated for alcohol-related

illness just one week earlier. Will Villanova be the nextinstitution to see its students poison themselves withalcohol?

The University should seriously reconsider its

support of any organization like Greek fraternities andsororities that permits underage and excessive alcohol

consumption. Although the Villanova Greek systemclaims that its primary goals are to promote brotherhoodand sisterhood, service and community, one cannot ignore

the many excessive alcohol-related activities in whichthese groups |>articipate.

Almost every weekend fraternities and sororities hold*TG" parties where many members excessively consumealcohol. Closed "theme" parties are also held and alcohol

is present.

Although Villanova has a dry rush, pledging quite

often involves drinking to excess, especially during "Hell

Week" or "Hell Night," the final stages of pledging.

The service functions these organizations providesimply do not balance with their secondary goals of alcoholconsumption.

If the University is to continue to support the Greeksystem as it stands today with many activities specifically

geared toward alcohol, Villanova is in effect promotingalcoholism.

The death of James Callahan raises many importantquestions that every Greek system in America shouldanswer. Perhaps, in the best interest of all Villanovastudents, the University should seriously considerdiscontinuing fraternities and sororities. Let's act before

someone else dies from Greek-related alcohol poisoning.

Don't let issue dieNew ideas and drastic changes take a notoriously long

time to circulate through the Villanova system. TodayStudent Government will take the first step towardimplementing such a change when it presents its report

advocating coed dorms to the University Senate. Thequestion now is, will the report be well-thumbed andcreased with use^ or will it gather dust in some obscureSenate file?

How various University groups respond to this

question will determine how soon coed dorms will becomea part of Villanova, if they will at all.

For Student Government, the presentation of this

report is only the first step in a long, frustrating process.

If its ideas are ever to move off the pages of their report

into reality, the organization will have to provide the

strength and effort needed. They will have to lobby

intensively for their goal and keep the issue in people's

minds — all too often, issues become cold and forgotten

as they fade from public view.

The question of how much power the Universitycommunity has to decide this issue, however, will haveto be answered by the main sources of power on campus— the Rev. John M. Driscoll, O.S.A., University president,and the Board of Trustees. They have the power to haltprogress on issues indefinitely, as DrisooU has shown byletting the Senate's grading system decision sit on hisdesk for nearly a year.

In all, if Driscoll and the Board truly respect theSenate, they will ask that body to reach a decision oncoed dorms, and then abide by its resolution. The Senateis the one place where allparts of the University --bMmity,students and administration — can make (tocisions onnugor issues.

Student conduct depioredTo the Editor:

Recently, I attended the

Villanova-Oeorgetown basketball

game. Although the game wasthoroughly enjoyable, I would like

totexpress my disappointment at

the behavior of some of the Vil-

lanova students.

While traveling on the Paoli

local to the game, a large number0^ students did not pay their fare,

nor did they make any effort to

pay. Granted, the overflow of

riders was not well handled by

SEPTA, but riding the train for

free constitutes theft of services.

In one histmieef a con-

ductor took M $20 Nil

from a student ond told

her to colhctlier

$17.50 In change froni

other riders.

In one instance, a conductor

took a $2Q bill from a student and

told her to collect her $17.50 in

change from other riders.

Although the conductor's

actions were totally inappropriate

and unfair to the paying rider, she

received no aid from other riders

in the car who had not paid.

Rather, the students chose to

verbally berate the conductor

whenever he entered the car.

Simply paying her their fare

would have alleviated .the

problem.

Upon arrival at Suburban Sta-

tion, I witnessed numerous cases

of public urination within the

sution. The age, dress and group

size were a clnr indication to methat these were Villanova

students.

FmiUy, whilewaitingin tinelbrthe subway, I witnessed st least

50 students jump ever the turn-

stiles to obtain frae nooess to the

subway. Once again, tfab ii: theft

of services. I do ndt think ttMse

concerns me.I would hope that in the future

students would be more aware of

the fact that when traveling with

a large group of students they are

projecting a certain image for

their university. That projected

image that I witnessed last night

was not a very favorable one.

Students lack communityByDANTBJ.SCALA

N«m Editor

First, the 0ood news. Student

Government is oontinuing the

period ol njuvenation that Joe^ Allman's acbniniatration be|^.

The organisatien has worked for

student interests on a number of

issues, includingscademic adviae-

ment, coed dorms and off-campushousing.

The trouble is, few" students

^ besides the organization'smembers seem to care.

Evidence of students' indiffer-

. ence to Student Governmintpervades the University. Only 15

to .20 percent fA undeigraduatesvoted in last year's student elec-

tions. Hardly any students ever goto University Senate meetings,

where issues such as the grading

system and fall break have been

discussed. Above all, there is the

oppressive apathy, the arresting

sense that students can change' nothing at Villanova.

This sense of apathy was felt

by Dr. Arthur Shriberg. whorecently evaluated the Office of

Student Life for the ProgramEvaluation Committee. He said

students described it as the "Vil-

lanova way;" students are treated

like children, they said.

Indeed, like children, Villanova

students feel implicitly that their

situation is out of their control.

Power rests in the hands of

shadowy, ambiguous figures whono one really knows, like the

administration, theBoard of Trus-

tees and the Rev.John M. Driscoll,

O.SJ^., University president.

And because these figures can-

not be pinned down anywhere,

they exist everywhere. For stu-

dents, all power seems to con-

stantly emanate from them, offer-

ing no release, no freedom.

These feelings of helplessness

are intensified by the prevailing

student mindset, which can be

titled, "me against the system."

When students feel that some-

thing is wrong at Villanova, they

do not know wiiere to kx)k for

help; indeed, they are convinced

there is no such place of aid.

Thus, they give up before they

have started, and are reduced to

gnunbling about what is wrongwithA^lanova, concluding, "Youcan't beat the system."

This explains the disinterest

surrounding student Elections.

Every spring, candidates speakabout how they will work to

change things in the Villanova

system. And every spring, theunspoken question amongstudentvoters' if "How? How can youchange things? You are a student,

like myself, and everyone knowsthat no one listens to students.

How are you different?"

Every spring, this question goes

unanswered, and the system winsagain. Students turn away fromStudent Government, refuse to

vote and remain chained to their

belief that you cannot fight thesystem.

Driscoll remains behind his

office door, and for studentspassingby it in Tolentine Hall, thedoor might as well be k)cked.

For Student Government, the

challenge now is to unlock that

door. It must convince students

that they can have a voice in howthe University is run. And it mustdo so by taking steps to create astudent community.

Community — it is a word that

is tossedarounda lot at Villanova,

and its frequent misuse has weak-ened the concept behind it

considerably.

For instance, it ill describes the

7,000 undergraduates at Villano-

va, who lead their individual lives

everyday with little thought of

being part of a larger whole.

Students split themselves up into

Greeks, non-Greeks, commuters,residents, nurses and engineers,

but find little that bonds themtogether.

Indeodf like children,

Vlllanon students feef

Implicitly that thehrsK'

uathn Is out of their

control. Powm' restsmthe hands ofshadowy,

amh^fltous figures whom^no one really knows,

like the administration,

the Board of Tmnteesand the Hew.Mm M.Driscoll, 015.4., fWver-

sHypresUenim

When they do unite, the results

are powerful. The electricity at

honoe men's basketball games is

createdby thesense ofcommunitythat binds the student section

together. Students disregard their

individual differences and join

together as Villanovans to cheer

for a common cause.

But outside of the duPont Pavil-

ion, that feeling of student com-

munity is lost. Students see

themselves as isolated individu-

als, not as part of a larger group.

and thus feel too weak to fight the

monolithic Universitybureaucracy.

Political philosopher Alexis deTooqueville said the solution to

this problem is to create groupswhich act as intermediariesbetween the individual and the

system. The intermediary is a go-

between; it is small enough to

listen to the individual's problems,

and large enough to gain the

attentuHi of the system.

By invoking a sense of com-munity among students. StudentGovernment can become thisintermediary. It must persuadestudents to regard each other asmembers of a group who rally

around a common cause: studentmterests.

'

Ît must convince students that

"You cannot beat the system, butwe can."

In order to accomplish this,

Student Government must takeits message to its constituents.

President Phil Brach and his

fellow workers have to run apersistent door-to-door, person-to-

person canvassing campaign,speaking to each student person-

ally. Tile strategy worked for himin the election last April, and nowhe must use it for a higherpurpose.

In all. Student Governmentmust rally students around a

common cause. This semester,

such an issue could be coed dorms,which will be discussed in the

University Senate today.

If Brach wants to see coed

dorms instituted at Villanova, hecannot simply make his report

today in the Senate and let the

system decide. Last semester, he

sent the furor ov^r Security

policies into a Senate committee,

and watched the issue die a slow

death. Nothing was changed.

This time, he must do better.

He must urge his fellow students,

who overwhelmingly want coed

dorms, to show their support

actively and visibly. He mustshow the University that students

care about tlê issue, and are

willing to make their feelings

known.

History proves such a campaigncan work. The last time Villanova

students protested as a commun-ity, the University Senate wasborn. U Student Government can

succeed in creating that sense of

community once again, another

step for student rights can be

taken.

By AMGAD SABONGUI

Recently, international affairs

have been receiving great mediacoverage in the United States. TheIran-Contra mess, the Nicaraguanrevolution and the Persian Gulf

crisis are a few of the many events

with which the U.S. has been

currently involved.

The United States has all butturned their backs and ignored,

however, possibly the most impor-

tant world problem today — the

Palestinian unrest in the Israeli

occupied West Bank and GazaStrip.

When Israel was formed by the

United Nations in 1948, attacks

by Arab countries immediately

followed. The infant country wasconstantly on its toes defending

its new and beloved homeland.

InJune 1%7 the famous six-day

war again saw Israel successfully

defend its country, as well as take

over many new territories. Amongthese lands were the Jordan-

controlled half of Jerusalem and

West Bank, and the Egyptian-

guided Gaza Strip. These acqui-

sitions were the start of the

present 20-year problem between

the very frustrated Palestinians

and the wary ever-cautious

Israelis.

Personally, I cannot find blamein the uprising by the Palestini-

ans. For 40 years the Palestinians

have htoi without a homelandand have been treated unfairly in

Israel. They are not alk)wed to

participate in the government or

army, and most hold low income

jobs.

Israel is about as democratic as

South Africa in that Israeli Arabs

have about the same rights as

blacks in South Africa.

Yet in the occupied territories

it is even worse. The living con-

ditions are terrible, and although

Israel is trying somewhat to

improve the area, they still ada-

mantly refuse to give the Pales-

tinians the right to self-rule.

The United States has done

practically noliiing to oppose the

military crackdown by Israel. Wehave abstained from all but one

United Nations vote and havedisplayed a cowardly policy on the

issue.

We do not want to provoke anyunwanted animosity, so we stickto our 'neutral' policy and thengive them $3 billion worth of aid

every year. In essence, the UnitedStates is a puppet to our friendly

neighbor in the Middle East.

Israel knows this. Israeh's knowthat their country is used as astrategy for the United States.

They also know that the U.S., aswell as most of the free universe,is at their fingertips. They havewarned the U.S. not to interfere

with their problems and, like

obedient children, we obey.

A few weeks ago, PresidentHosni Mubarek of Egypt visited

America to discuss this problemwith President Ronald Reaganand Secretary of State GeorgeSchultz. Egypt is the sole Arabcountry to have friendly relations

with Israel. It seems that they feel

they have been openly deceived byIsrael.

When Egypt and Israel signed

the Camp David accords in thelate 1970s, Israel promised that in

the upcoming five years it wouldabandon the occupied Gaza strip.

This five-year period ended in

1982, and Israeli troops remain.

However, it seems that Mubar-ek has his hands tied. AlthoughEgypt has just restored diplomaticties with the Arab countries,

Mubarek does not want to break

relations with Israel and definitely

does not want to anger the folks

in Washington (who give Egyptalmost $2 billion in aid everyyear).

Since nobody especially likes, or

trusts, Syria or Iran, and since

Jordan has practically no military

power, the Palestinians are people

not only lacking a homeland, but

also an ally.

But the United States could bethis ally by giving aid to the

Palestinians (through Israel, ot

course) so they might be able to

live in houses instead of huts. Wecould be an ally l>y cutting all the

military aid we shower Israel withevery year. If those bureaucratswho run our country had anyguts, the U.S. could be that ally.

Athlete stipends rebuttedTo the Editor:

I absolutely disagree with JimBowman's op^ entitled, "Ath^

letes should receive stipends,"

which was printed last week. '

First of all. Bowman's opônly addresses basketball players.

They are not the only athletes.

Here at Villanova the athletic

department offers tennis, track,

^cer, swimming, water polo andthe list goes on. These athletes

work hard, too, putting in hoursof practice which keep them fromholding part-time jobs.

They represent Villanova well,

even if they do not bring in abundle of money or "provide amajority of students with some-thing to look forward to every

weekend." Does Bowman plan to

pay these athletes, also?

Furthermore, the "great pursestheir schools devour from sell-out

crowds and juicy television con-

tracts," are used to support theseother, less profitable sports. If

that money was used, instead, to

pay basketball and football play-

ers, then we could probably saygoodbye to some sports. Is thatfair?

How about students on academ-

ic scholarships?They have to keep

their grades up to keep their

scholarships. Often, keeping their

grades up means studying moreand giving up a part-time job.

Those students represent the

academic side of the University

just as the athletes stand for the

athletic side. So, should we pay

them, too?

I could go on. What aboutorganization leaders? Major organ-ization leaders like the Villanova

Union president, the ViUanovaneditor in chief and the StudentGovernment president easily putin some 30 to 40 hours per week,and they do not have scholarships

to fall back on. Why not pay them,too, while we are at it?

Getting back specifically to

paying athletes, though. Bowmanproposes that the NCAA "estab-

lish a graduated scale, based onthe family's financial need, for

monthly payments to collegiate

athletes." Although his plan does

keep the stipend amount fromskyrocketing by proposing a limit,

there are still problems with it.

Since we cannot take the moneyfrom the "great purses" without

negating other sports, where,exactly, will the money comefrom? Sure, some of the larger

sdiools may have the funds to paystipends. However, what about

the smaller schools that cannot

afford to offer stipends but canoffer a quality educatton? (Oh,

yeah, school is for education, is

it not?) These smaller schools will

be cheated of talented athletes

becaiise they cannot pay as much.Again I ask, is that fair?

Furthermore, ifBowman thinks

that once athletes receive a sti-

pend "overzealous alumni withpadded wallets" will go away, heis sadly mistaken.

No matter how much a school

can offer, those overzealous alum-ni still believe they can give more.The NCAA can best fight theproblem of illegal payments bycontinuing on the present path.

So, yes, I am one of the so-called

cynics who would "interject, 'Butthe school is, giving them a free

ticket to the future. What moredo they deserve?' "

I believe thatscholarship athletes get a lot.

Ten thousand dollars a year is

more than most students makewith a part-time job. And $10,000

worth of education and room andboard each year is what Villanova

athletes get when they come here.

They will not spend the first 10

years after graduation paying off

student loans.

There is no reason why theycannot work during the summerand save so they have spending

money for the school year. Theyare not professional athletes.

They are here for an educationand are lucky enough to have atalent that will pay for thateducation.

Library book check effectiveTo the Editon

"The current system where a(Falvey Memorial) library

employee glances at half-opened

bookbags to check for library

materials is archaic and costly.

Villanova must update their loan

system to reduce stolen library

books." (ViUanovan, Feb. 12.)

During one average workday at

Falvey Memorial Library, a period

of time extending over 16 hours,

an average of 2,500 students

carrying book bags pass by the

doorchecker's desk. This averages

out to 17,000 per week.

If 100 bags were missed during

any particular week, it would be

a lot. But even if this many were

missed, it would be only .58

percent. This is a success rate of

99.42 percent.

With marks like this, if a door-

checker was a student, he wouldgraduate magna cum lauda.

In the great basketball gamewith Temple, the well-vaunted

Wildcats were described in the

Daily News as playing near per-

fection, hitting 30 out of 58 shots

from the floor, but this is a mere51.7 percent. The paper said the

team was "impressive from the

three-point line," shooting 10 for

22 or 45.4 percent.

Rollie Massimino's stellar court

stars came closest to the door-

checker's average at the foul line

To the Editor:

Looking back at past Villanova

academic calendars, I noticed that

spring semester classes almost

always started on Monday. Sowhy did we start on Wednesdaythis year?

Graduation is now held a weeklater than it was the the past. So,

to coincide with graduation, the

semester should have started a

week later, too. But, instead of

starting Jan. 25, as we should

have, we started the Wednesdaybefore, and this semester is unne-

cessarily stretched out.

If graduation will always be the

weekend before Memorial Day,

the start of the spring semester

should reflect this, and classes

should therefore begin on the

Monday between Jan. 19 and Jan.

25. Jan. 25 might seem late for

some people, but if graduation is

later, then the start of classes

should also be later. We returned

to Villanova Jan. 20, while manyof our friends at other schools,

who started the same day as us

in past years, had off until Jan.

25.

I believe we should start spring

classes Jan. 23 next year, instead

of the currently scheduled Jan. 19.

It is really worth it to come back

for only two days before the

weekend? Not only would comingback on a Sunday be easier for

many students, we would also

benefit from a longer Christmas

break, while only going, at the

most, two daays later in May.

(There would still be an eight-day

Senior Week.)

I believe the spring semester

should always start on a Monda^,which would be Jan. 23, 1989, if

graduation is held May 21.

To the Editor:

Last year Joe Crivelli wrote a

letter to your paper to tell you it

was time for a new newspaper at

Villanova. Part of his argumentwas that the newspaper lacked

the abiUty to stir up any form of

commotion amongst the students

on any major issues.

Although I realize you are all

under the heavy thumb of the

administration^ the newspapermust act as some type of fuiel for

thought on issues that seem to bebarely smoldering in the minds of

students.

It is obvk)us that, for the mostpart, Villanova is cluttered witha bunch of apathetic rich kids.

The sad thing about your paperis that it simply feeds them withthe continued Villanova dap-trapin order to maintain status quo.

It's as if you have all beenyanked around by your ear byyour parents all your life and havecontinued to do this "yes ma'am,yes father" following, in writing

for the newspaper.I am not saying the status quo

is not great, but I think it is a little

unrealistic. You report who, whatand where very efuctively, but it

seems nobody addresses "why?**

The front p^ of the Feb. 5issue exemplifiet this perfectly.

First, the "Security evaluated"

article reported on the effective-

ncM of tht campua Sacurity. The

real issue to be brought out by the

paper is that the administrationknows that the World War Uveterans and other misfits thatthey hired as security guards areweak.

•

Secondly, the real issueattached to the "West campusplans continue" article is that the

administration is stuck betweena rock and a hard place when it

comes to housing.

Neighboring towns are becom-ing less and less hospitable to thestudents, who are trying desper-ately to live a college lifestyle. It

is a given, that students are goingto bring some type of vandalism,noise, underage drinkinganddrugproblem to any neighborhood, butsomehow the school must offer

some place for students to live,

while getting their education.Otherwise they are not beingrealistic

The third article that I wouldlike to address is the "Springfestival aprofved" article. I could

see every orientation counselor

and RA's heart tingle when they

say *lMy oh boy, isn't Villanova

just the greatest? They're going

to onanizc a festival for ut andwe can even drink the forbkklen

drink: bser!"

Holy cow, I myself, couki not

believe it either, but after I

thought for a miUi-teoond more,

I could see the administration's

ploy.

When you think back to the past

radiation days, that we haveannually celebrated in the spring

to commemorate the Three Mile

Island meltdown, the administra-

tkm is smarts

If you ask around you will hear

stories about when a security

guard went mad and started

swinging at students after he hadbeen doused in beer at a radiation

day celdMation.

Obviously, the administration

has admitted that they could not

handle the situation in the past,

and is now attempting to control

it. I am not knocking the admin-istration, but I wish the news-paper had the perceptk>n to see the

ploy of the hierarchy that we live

under.

I am not trying to be a troublemaker, but I think some revela-

tions have to be made about whatis going down around here.

And if this letter is manipulatedor misinterpreted^ that will be too

bad. I thinlt I have something to

say, and all I ask for is a little

respect. If you would like to

attempt to embarrass me in theWho Knows, Who Cares?, ... goahead, make my day.

Snow removalunsatisfactoryTo the Editon

This letter should be addressedto "the powers that be at VillanovaUniversijty." Let's talk snowremoval — or lack thereof.

Does the word "lawsuit" meananything to you? Do you realizethat il a student (or anyone elsefor that matter, parent, sibling oralumni) were to slip and get hurton Univereity property, the Uni-versity could be sued?

J know of two falls that, thankgoodness, resulted only in minorscrapes and bruises and a flying

guitar. But I am sure that therewere many othere, perhaps evenserious injuries. And isn't it

strange that the sidewalks in

front of Austin Hall were clearedyet St. Rita's Hall has not beentouched? And how about theparking tot, or should I say skatingrink! Pushing a stalled car acrossa sheet of ice is not a fun job.

I realize that snow removal is

a big job. I also realize that theUniversity has an outside contrac-tor to do that job. However, thatjob is not getting done. If need be,I know quite a few students whowould be happy to earn a fewextra bucks shoveling sidewalks.

Artwork offensiveTo the E<liton

We are writing in reference to

a cartoon which appeared in the

art bin in the Feb. 12 issue of the

ViUanovan. The cartoon depicted

sorority rush as a degrading,humiliating and terrifying expe-

rience. The idea of sororities in

general was completely mis-construed.

It is infuriating to see such amisrepresentation of the sorority

system only days after the com-pletion of a successful formalrush. The extensive preparation,

careful thought and consideration

involved in membership selection

was completely disregarded by thecartoon.

Obviously the cartoonist has noconception of what sororities have

to offer. The opportunities for

leadership, community service,

scholastic development andfriendships encouraged by soror-

ities were clouded with the notionof parties as the sole benefit.

Perhaps the cartoonist andreader should consider the fact

that if rush was as mortifying asdepicted, why then did more than500 girls subject themselves to

such "hell."

Equal rights

losing its focusTo ithe Editor:

Although I am in favor of the

ERA (Equal Rights Amendment)as a movement to do away withunfair discrimination on the basis

of sex, I am beginning to thinkmore and more that the wholeaffair is reaching a state of

fanaticism.

I find the terms chairperson,

layperson and selectperson some-what absurd. Will the jack-of-all-

trades soon be called ahandyperson?

All of these secular terms are

bad enough, but what really

topped it off and bothered meenough to write this letter, is whatI heard at Mass this past weekend.

In the Apostles' Creed, instead

of saying, "For us men and oursalvation ..." the church is nowadvocating, "For us and oursalvation ..."

I do not know how many, if any,female church-goers wereoffended by "us men." I think it

is safe to assume the phrase waswritten to infer man as mankind,not that Jesus had no interest in

the salvation of women. Or shouldwe believe that Jesus' attention to

Mary Magdelene was just an act?

As I said, I think ERA is impor-

tant to correct the unfair discrim-

inations between the sexes, but let

us not get so carried away that

we start imagining discrim-inations.

Student praisesVIIUmQvanTo the Editor:

I have been working at Villa-

nova University for eight yearsnow and I want to let you andeveryone involved in putting outthis interesting newspaper know,that I feel that all of you deservea huge pat on the back, a roundof applause, a standing ovation,etc.

The editorials, features, enter-tainment and sports were coveredin a very professional style andyou should be very proud indeed.One particular issue, Feb. 5, hadeverything.

Besides covering the silly things

that are a necessary part of life

to survive in an academic atmos-phere, a lot of things that are of

interest to us all were put into

focus much more clearly and withsome workable solutions neededto make this a better communityfor all of us.

While I myself find this a goodplace to come to every day, that

is not the case for everyone. Butkeep airing the issues and maybeour new theme song will be "OneDown, and Two To Go."

Alcohol: an Important

Issue oncampusesBy DIANE P. CARMAN

StaffRfporUr

Greeks throughout the countryhave become more aware of the

dangers involved in participating

in the traditional custom of haz-

ing, according to an article in the

Feb. 8 issue of the Philadelphia

Inquirer.

Because of the great number of

lawsuits contending harm fromGreek-related drinking and hazingand pressure from universityofficials who are threatening to

ban them froin campuses, frater-

nities and sororities around the

nation are taking measures to

clean up their acts.

Incidents which inspired this

movement include the disbandingof fraternities and sororities at the

University of Lowell in Massachu-setts. This occurred after twohazing incidents in a period of 10

years.

The demise of the Greek systemat Amherst College because of

fraternity-related unruly anddangerous drinking parties, and

legal action brouf(ht against PennState fraternities for serving

alcohol to minors and beating a

pledge, were also factors in the

recent developments.

More recently in the news wasthe death of a Lamda Chi Alpha

pledge at Rutgers University in

New Jersey. This has further

incited university communities to

inspect more thoroughly their

Greek systems.

Even Villanova has had its

problems. In 1982, after attending

an off-campus fraternity party

involving alcohol, Monica Buck-

ley, a freshman, was killed andfive others were injured in a car

accident.

Buckley's family and AnneFasset, another victim who wasleft a quadriplegic, sued the fra-

ternity. In a landmark decision,

a federal court ruled that the

organizers of the party and those

whobought and served the alcohol

were to be held responsible.

That ruling combined withpressure from national fraternity

organizations and complaints of

noise and unruliness by neighbors

has prompted Villanova Greeks to

, improve their behavior.

M^ganJones, chairperson of the

Greek Committee on Drug andAlcohol Awareness, commentedthat Villanova Greeks havebecome aware of, and concerned

with, such problems.

They have established option

programs to educate their

members. Many have formedsober committees to collect keys

at TG's and ensure responsible

drinking.

Jones states that various admin-istrators have conducted a study

on the Villanova Greek system,

and she feels that they are looking

for legitimate reasons to have it

dissolved.

"We know that we are being

watched. One more mistake byanyone and we're gone," said

Jones.

This week surveys will bedistributed to fraternities andsororities to discover if there is

significant drug or alcohol prob-

lem within the Greek system.

Computerized rusha successBy KATHLEEN REICHNER

Staff Reporter

Villanova has recently expe-

rienced its first computerizedsorority rush, according to GaryH. Bonas, assistant director of

Student Activities.

The "Compute-A-Rush" systemgenerated party lists, invitations,

and nametags, and handled bid

matching, stated Bonas.

The computer did these tasks

in a fraction of time that it wouldhave taken to do them manually.

For example, Compute-A-Rushmatched bids in one minute, said

Bonas, a job which in the past has

taken a dozen people six hours to

complete.

"I was amazed at the system's

accuracy and quickness," said

Trish LaMotta, Panhellenic rush

chairperson.

"It was the best investment

Panhellenic ever made," said

LaMotta of the $3,000 system.

The computer was able to give

LaMotta important rush statistics

while keeping track of the 508

women going through rush.

Villanova is the 30th Panhellen-

ic to use Compute-A-Rush. It wasdeveloped by D and D Digital in

Ames, Iowa. It was first installed

at Iowa State University about 10

years ago.

Rewards ofPledgingBy STEPHEN FERRARO

Staff Reporter

"Education is much more than

textbooks and class, for more than

100 years fraternities have helped

shape young men into confident

people and leaders," according to

the White Diamond of Pi KappaPhi fraternity.

, The pledging period of a newmember in a fraternity is a time

of learning and growth. Contrary

to popular belief, pledges do not

exist only to work parties and run

tasks for brothers. The idea

behind this is to help the pledges

assimilate into the fraternity at

large.

The pledging period should

develop unity, cooperation and

friendship between the pledge

class as a unit, and the brother-

hood as a whole. This is also a

microcosm of getting along in

society.

The pledging process takes a lot

of time, effort and eneri^y. This

helps to promote retpontihilitv in

academics by teaching the pledges

how to budget time effectively.

Pledges do not have the time to

procrastinate. Their time is spent'

balancing school work and frat-

ernal activities. Pledges must doboth or face the consequences.

Older brothers are available to

offer assistance with studies

during the pledge program.

A pledge must also learn the

history and tradition of the indi-

vidual chapter and the national

fraternity. He must be responsible

in maintaining the highest ideals

of Christian manhood.

Pledging helps promote social

consciousness. In order to promote

awareness, pledges must go to

seminars on sexual diseases andsubstance abuse.

Pledging also helps to develop

a professional attitude. It teaches

punctuality, how to anticipate a

superior's needs, meet anticipa-

tions, and dress for every occasion.

Pledging also promotes pledge

pride, both in himself and in his

chapter.

AIDS: America's fatal realityWhen AIDS was first recognized in the United States in 1981, there were

fewer than 60 reported cases. As of March 1987, there were more than 32,000cases of AIDS and about 20,000 deaths. According to federal health officials,1-1.5 million Americans are now asymptomatic carriers of HIV (humanimmunodeficiency virus) and the American AIDS death toll is expected to exceed179,000 by 1991. As of yet, no cure had been found. AIDS is a fatal reality thatwill not disappear in the near future.

The AIDS epidemic concerns everyone. Children, Catholic priests andheterosexual men and women are dying every day of ATOS — a deadly diseasethat was commonly considered an exclusively homoeexual condition.AIDS awareness and education is vital for nationwide compassion for victimt.

An op-ed

AIDS affects morethan homosexuals

By

ELLIOTT McELDOWNEYStaff Reporter

So often when a conversation

turns to the subject of AIDS or

of homosexuals, it is regarded as

,time to pull out a series of jokes,

puns and stories which mock andscorn those with AIDS.While these jokes serve to

dissipate tension and keep a

conversation light, they also

reveal much more alwut exactly

what our fears and insecurities

are.

Homophobia, the fear or hate of

homosexuals, is closely tied to fear

and panic about AIDS. I think that

it is the excuse of AIDS that hashelped homophobia, which is akin

to.racism in its prejudice, growto a state of near-acceptancearound us.

While theAIDS disease remainsa mystery, it will obviously be asource of fear. But fear of AIDSand fear of homosexuals are twodistinct matters; one does not

imply the other (as somany people

seem to think) nor should one beconfused with the other. It is easy

to cloak a fear or hate of homo-sexuals beneath the pretence of a

fear of AIDS.The fear of AIDS is understan-

dable, it has at its root the fear

of death. The fear of homosexuals,which I have witnessed all anwndme, is less easily underatood. Thewords associated with hoowaex-uality are part d our daily Ian-

guM; "f^** "hono," "gay" are

aU derogatory tcHM we ate with-out thinkiag. Bat apai

ing frimii ihoyf aiohihave to adWl that they

individual sexuality. Eric Hoffer,

in his book The True Believer,

said, "Whence come these unreas-onable hatreds, and why their

unifying effect? They are anexpression of a desperate effmt to

supress an awareness of ourinadequacy, worthlessness, guilt

and other shortcomings of theself. Self-contempt is here trans-

muted into hatred ofothers— andthere is a most determined andpersistant effort to mask this

switch."

This would probably be thetime for me to toss in variousmoving, emotional, and no doubtcontroversial, biblical passages in

defense of my position: instead I

will offer this idea. To my know-ledge, at no time do the gospelsadvocate hate, no matter at whomit is aimed.The Catholic bishops' comment

is relevent as well. They state,

"We encourage all members of oursociety to relate to its [AIDS]victims with compassion andunderstanding, as they would to

those suffering from any otherfatal disease. They continue,"All of God's sons and daughters,all members of our society, areentitled to the recognition of their

full human dignity."

In the novel The Plague, byAlbert Camus, the residents oif thecity of Qran are quarantinedbecause of an outbreak of bubonicphigue. The city is ckMed off, andoommuiiity springs up betweenthe citixens where none wasbelore. AIDS has reached a stagewhare it ia now epidemic, or aplaaiia. Faaowing a Catholic tra-

dmm, oars shoukl be a call to

ooaMMiiity, not to division in thefmelAIDS.

Terry Conner speaks with anenthusiasm that is at once sur-

is clear as he talks about his

recent trips to the hospital andhow happy he is to be able to

return to work. Terry is 31 yearsof age, and although he appearshealthy, he has the deadly diseaseAIDS (acquired immune defficien-

cy syndrome).

"Look at me," he said. "Youwould never know unless I told

you." And he is right, nothingabout him hints of the disease

within him. The external clues

certainly do not reveal it; he is

lively, his complexion is dark, andhe seems athletic. Terry is also

"When I had 103 degree fever

I had to do something. My family

doctor suggested either a cardiol-

specialist. I went to the cardiol-

ogist. I could barely walk whenI went. He took one kx)k at meand said, 'you don't need me.' Hecalled over to the hospital to the

student council, I was on the track

"I've been involved in music for

years. I used to work with a group

called The Dovells. And then I got

into video, which is what led meto Arizona where I believe I

contracted the disease.

"I make no excuses for what I

did. I paid to have sex with a

hooker and am ()aying a dear price

for it now. That's how I got it . .

.

it was through heterosexual inter-

course. I don't mind you saying

that, but I don't want to give

people the false impression that

I got AIDS just because I was with

a prostitute. Anybody can get this,

and that!s the bottom line.

"I was diagnosed August of

1986. The way it came about wassix to eight months before I wasdiagnosed I started getting sick.

I had a stomach virus that lasted

four months, two of which I

couldn't even work, I was doubled

over with pain. After that cleared

up I was fine for a month, but then

got a sldn rash all over my body.

The thing that kept me fromgetting diagnosed sooner was that

I was heterosexual. And they

never thought olgivingme a bkxid

test for AIDS because at that time

it was a gfiy disease.

"Fortunately for me and mymom, I had an idea. I didn't wantto believe it, but it wasn't acomplete surprise to me. Why else

should I be in the hospital, some-

one who's been healthy all his life?

The doctor told me point blank,

you have been diagnosed with

Pneumocystis pneumonia andthis leads us to believe that youhave AIDS."And I kind of took it, in stride.

What else could I do? After they

[the doctors] left, my ex-fiancee

called me on the phone to see howI was doing. I just broke down,I couldn't even talk to her on the

phone. Then my mom walked in

the room, she works at the hos-

pital I go to; I just broke down like

a little baby and started crying.

Because it was at this point I

realized, hey I'm going to die. AndI've got this disease that meansyou're going to lose all yourfriends, everybody. That was a

rough day, probably one of the

n>ughest diays of my life. But it

was also within the next few days

that I came to grips with it andsaid, i've got it and can't do a

I have nothing to be aahamsd of

\

... I make no excuses for what I

did.

"There's such stigma abouthaving AIDS, and, 'you must begay.' I'm not going to hide this

thing, this isn't right to live

behind some kind of curtain. Andso I came right out with it to

everybody. I figured 'accept me or

reject me,' and if you reject me,I don't need you in my life anyway.I told everybody; the Phillies

whom I work with a lot, I told myfriends, my family, relatives. Andfor the most part I got 100 percent

of it back in a good way. Usually

it's 'what can we do for you?'

"Once they realize they aren't

in danger. My brother and his wife

have two children, and they werescared to death and wouldn't let

mego near them. And I understood

that even though it ripped into melike a hacksaw. I understand that

people are afraid of this thing.

That's why I'm doing what I'm

doing. To help get rid of their fears

and tell them what is fact andwhat is fiction. And there's a lot

of fiction out there.

"My brother and his wife ...

went out and researched this andfound they didn't have anvthing

to worry about. It may still be a

little weird in their heads whenthey see me pick my nephew upand kiss him or hug him but it's

not transmitted that way, andthey know that. That's the impor-

tant thing. Now everything's just

as it always was.

"It's really a very difficult thing

to get unless the conditions are

right. That doesn't mean that

people don't have to worry about

it. If you're going to be with

someone you're taking a chanceregardless. Because someonecould look like I look. You'd never

know I had this unless I told you.

No girl would have any idea I hadthis if I didn't tell her.

"I do take responsibility for myactions. There are people whodon't. You get real lonely with this

disease. I long to walk down the

street and hold a girl's hand, or

just to snuggle with a girl. That's

one of the hardest things I'm

dealing with right now. There's

that big part that's missing, that

one-to-one relationship with a

female. That's what I miss the

most.

"There's a lot of mental things.

There was a time I refused to gointo a mall, because most people

don't realize that I have more to

fear from people than they have

to fear from me. When they get

a cold, they fight it off. If I'm

around them and I catch their

coki, it could kill me. Whereas the

only thing they have to worry

from me is bk)od to blood, blood

to semen. •

'*! often say that it's the person

you know has it you have to worry

about least. It's the person you

don't know who has it. because

they prabahly don't know they

have it; that's the one that's going

to go around infecting whoeverthey're with. That's the scary

thing in this whole disease, andI can't emphasize enough that I

"There was a time I refused to

I figured there's all these sick

times I was only in the hospital

twice because I was sick. I hadpneumonia twice.

"The other times were theAZT,the one experimental drug the

government has okayed, that put

me in the hospital twice. It's real

toxic. It's kind of like chemother-

apy. I'm now on the drug for the

fourth time. I felt the good effects

from it. But it drops your blood

count, white and red. They also

gave me a drug called bactrum.

It's like a penicillin; the bactrumalmost killed me. In 10 days, It

almost killed me. I don't know if

it's because of the disease or what.

"Along with all this, whenyou're on the AZT I might get a

headache. I might get fevers.

When you get headaches the first

thing they think is meningitis and

I got a CD player last Christmas;it was great but I refused to spend17 bucks for something I'm never

There are some heavy duty mentalthings I had to deal with.

"The least of my problems wasdiscrimination. That's what youhear about the most. There wasa guy in the hospital bed next to

me who lost everything. He hadto be hospitalized because his

family wouldn't take him; his

friends wouldn't take him. Hedidn't have to be in the hospital,

but he had nowhere else to go. AndI said, 'what a crime.' Just becauseof the f—ing stigma people haveput on this disease.

"So many people are dyingalone. There's no worse crime to

me than knowing you're going to

die and having to do it akme.That's when I'd consider suidde.

it's not in my cards. Then again

I have all the security I nasd. I

me healthy. That's the ironic part.

"When I get sick, they treat mefor it and I get healthy. Then whoknows when I could get sick again.

It just depends on how weak mysystem is or how strong the virus

is. That's why it's hard to tell whyI'm doing so good right now, and

V.U. AIDS program foNowsBy NOEL E. FALCO

N4WS Editor

Villanova Catholics are receiving confusing signals concerning

the use of prophylactics to prevent the spread of Acquired

Immunodeficiency Syndrome [AIDS]. National and local authorities

are presenting different and sometimes conflicting messages in

statements retarding AIDS and condoms.

The University's own AIDS education program, which started

in spring of 1987, mentions "the use of condoms in preventing the

spread of disease but in no way endorses the use of condoms," said

Gary Bonas, assistant director of Student Activities on Jan. 29.

The program, which falls under the Student Life department,

uses peer educators who are interested in working with other students

and are trained in knowledge of AIDS and teaching approach. A team

of teaeha* counselors and a member of the AIDS task force also work

witlvthe program, said Bonas.

Information presented includes transmission of the disease,

behavior patterns and Catholic dogma. "We try to balance dogma

with facts," he said.

Bonas said the program does not provide information on howto use condoms but instead "just says that it [a condom] biologically

prevents spread of disease."

He further said, "Condoms are only 80 percent effective. They

are only as efficient as in preventing pr^nancy. Abstinence is the

onlv answer."Since the program's installation at Villanova, controversy has

ensued in the nation over condom use.

The Surgeon General's report on AIDS, released this fall, stated,

"If your [AIDS] test is positive or if you engage in high risk activities

and choose not to have a test, you should tell your sexual partner.

If you jointly decide to have sex, you must protect your partner by

always using a rubber condom during [start to finish] sexual

intercourse [vagina or rectum]."

The report included a message to youth that stated, "By saying

«o to sex and drugs, they [single teenage girls] can avoid AIDS which

can kill them. The same is true for teenage boys who should also

not have rectal intercourse with other males. It may result in AIDS."

The Surgeon General also wrote on the importance of AIDSeducation. The report said, "Education about AIDS should start in

early elementary school and at home so that children can grow up

knowing the behavior to avoid to protect themselves from exposure

to the AIDS virus."

The administrative board of the United States Catholic

Conference [USCC] issued a statement titled "The Many Faces of

AIDS: A Gospel Response" in November 1987. This statement wasissued in order to help make moral choices concerning "the etiolqgjr

of this deadly epidemic, its prevention, and the care of those stricken.

'

However, the statement has created controversy over a section

that might lead people to be taught how to use contraceptives, a

practice that is not permitted by Catholic dogma.The section stated, "We [administrative board] recognize that

public educational prognuns addressed to a wide audience will reflect

the fact that some people will not act as they can and should; that

they will not refrain from the type of sexual or dnig-abuae bdiavior

that can transmit AIDS. In sudi situatioiis, educational efforts, if

grounded in die broader moral visioa outlined above, could include

accurate information about prophylactic devices praipoaed by aomemedical experts as potentiiA means of preventing Au>$/'

îflîcatwf^ prMprams*''Adapted to the maturity of the kamors, dwse programs sfaouM

communicate the biological facts about AIDS as well as the values

whidi should form their consciences," it stated.

While the statement commented that several U.S. and Canadian-

dioceses have developed guidelines for this education, the past and

present administrators of the Philadelphia diocese, in which Villanova

is located, have objected to parts of the USCC statement.

Cardinal John Krol and his sucessor, Archbishop AnthonyBevilacqua, together issued a Dec. 14 statement citing "widespread

confusion and a certain amount of misinterpretation concerning

chyrch teaching about the use of contraceptive devices" as a result

of the USCC statement.

''It is the teaching of the Catholic Church that the sons and

daughters of the Church 'are forbidden to use methods [of birth

control] disapproved of by the teaching authority of the Church in

its interpretation of divine law* (Vatican Council II, Pastoral

Consdtution on the Church in the Modem World, 51). The use of

condoms is not morally acceptable and is not a morally correct wayto prevent the spread of AIDS," wrote Krol and Bevilacqua.

They further said, "[I]t is regrettable that there has been someinterpretation of the statement of the administrative board that nins

contrary to Church teaching and is therefore unacceptable . ./*

The Rev. Owen R.Jackson, O.S.A., of Villanova's Center for Peace

and Justice Education, said there is "clearly a division between

'

conservative and progressive bishops" on this issue, although this

is just one instance of the split.

"The one paragraph indicates . . . that the Church reahzes a lot

of people will be involved in pre-marital sex and given the humancondition, in order to avoid a worse situation [through] the spread

of AIDS, it is better to use contraception in an immoral situation

than not. [This is why] the cardinals got upset," he said.

Jackson stressed the principle in Catholic theology that advocates

the lesser of two evils.

"Given the fact we know X-amount of Villanova students play

around, run around ... are homosexual, use drugs ... as a percentage

of any population does, then the lesser of two evils is to use a

contraceptive, though it's better you weren't involved that way,"

lackson said*

He continued, "There's a lot of flap about what you teach. [They]

don't want Catholic high schools teaching students how to use

contraceotives

.

"CoUîes are pretty independent. Most collies would lay it all

out and you use your own judgment," he added.

Jackson said he did not feel Krol would interfere with Villanova's

AIDS education program.

He commented, "Villanova has an AIDS education program that s

not taught in the sense that it's okay to have immoral sex, but

emphasizes the sanctity of marriage ... it should make that clear."

Bonas said of Krol's opinion on education concerning prophy-

lactics, "Frankly, Cardinal has not done^much about it. He wouldn't

go to a college campus and say no [to AIDS education]."

He added that the Rev. John M. DriscoU,- O.SA., University

president, and the Rev. John P. Stack, O.S.A., dean of stiklents, knowof the content of the AIDS education program, which is under the

direction of Dr. Richard A. Neville, vice president of Student Life.

Many Augustinians have come to presentations, he said.

Chris Lysiondc, assistant dean of students, who was involved

in the program last year, said the program "educated exactly the

way the booklet [USCC statement] recites."

Lysionek further said the program "dearly never advises the

use of condoms."Wemadeaconsciousdecision against that in lii^t of the religious

institutkm,** she adkfed.

Aooordiiig to Lysionek, AIDS is used as a springboard for values

issues in the prxigram. Rehtionships and Churdi terhingi are

AIDS kills over 29,000 in U.S.By KATHLEEN REICHNER

Staff Reporter

The Public Health Service estimates that AIDS has ended thelives of over 29,000 people in the United States.

More than 46,000 cases of AIDS have been reported to the Centerfor Disease Control since 1981. Nearly 800 of these cases are children.

U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop stated in his report onAIDS, "AIDS no longer is the concern of any one s^^ment of society;

it is the concern of us all.''

Despite statistics and warnings, there is still much confusionabout what AIDS is and how it is transmitted. There is no curefor AIDS and no vaccine to prevent it. Being educated about AIDS,therefore, can be a powerful means of preventing the spread of thedisease.

The letters A-I-D-S stand for Acquired Immune DeficiencySyndrome. According to the Surgeon General, a person who has AIDSis'ilhthe^^finkl sta^ of a series of health problems caused by avirus (germ) that can be passed from one person to another chiefly

during sexual contact or through sharing of needles."This virus is generally called the AIDS virus. It attacks a person's

immune system and damages his or her ability to fight other diseases.

The person is then left vulnerable to infections which may causelife-threatening illnesses.

The AIDS virus invades an individual's blood stream. It thenbegins to attack certain white blood cells. In response to the virus,

antibodies are produced and can usually be detected by blood test,

two weeks to three months after infection. Even before theseantibodies show up in a blood test, however, the virus can be passedto others.

Some people exposed will remain well, but can still transmitthe virus to others.

Some people will develop AIDS Related Complex (ARC). Theywill test positive for the AIDS infection, but will have symptomsoften less severe than those with classic AIDS.

Some people will develop AIDS. According to the Surgeon General"AIDS is the result of a natural progress of infection by the AIDSvirus." Since the AIDS virus destroys the body's immune system,it leaves a person vulnerable to otherwise controllable infections,

which cause additional diseases. These diseases have been labeled

"opportunistic diseases" because they use the opportunity of loweredresistence to infect and destroy, and may eventually cause death.

Opportunistic diseases include pneumonia, tuberculosis, meningitisand cancer.

Symptoms of AIDS and opportunistic diseases may take up to

nine years to show up. According to the Surgeon General, 20 to 30percent of those infected with the AIDS virus will develop an AIDSassociated illness within five years.

The nugority of people who test positive for the AIDS virus showno disease symptoms and may not come down with the disease for

many years, if ever, stated Koop. These peoplecan transmit the diseaseto others, however.

Accoffding to Koop, "A person acquires the virus during sexualcontact with an infected person's blood, semen and possibly vaginal

secretions. The vims then enters a person's blood stream throughtheir rectum, vagina or penis."

He oontjanod, "Saudi [unseen by the naked eye] tears in thesf the vagiaa or ractiMi ... [open)«i avenue lor entrance

f

A small amount of people with AIDS contracted it throughcontaminated blood transfusions. These cases occurred before muchwas known about AIDS. Currently, all blood banks screen blood, andless than 1 out of 100,000 donations are estimated to be possibly

unsafe.

It is also possible for mothers to infect their unborn children.

Approximately one-third of babies born to AIDS infected motherswill also develop AIDS.

AIDS is not transmitted through casual social contact. Shakinghands, hugging, social kissing, crying, coughing or sneezing is

reported, by Koop, not to transmit AIDS.There are no reported cases of people contracting AIDS in

swimming pools, hot tubs or restaurants.

~-— There are no reported cases of getting AIDS through the sharingof bed linens, towels, cups, straws, dishes or eating utensils.

' No one has reported catching AIDS from doorknobs, toilet seats

or furniture.

A person cannot catch AIDS from giving blood.

There are no known cases' of contracting AIDS from insects,

cats or dogs.

There are no reported cases of contracting AIDS from anotherperson's tears or saliva.

In order to curb the spread of AIDS, the Surgeon General andthe Public Health service are advising people to avoid promiscuoussexual practices and to avoid sexual contact with prostitutes. Unlessthere is absolute certainty that a sexual partner does not have AIDS,the use of a condom is recommended, according to the SurgeonGeneral.

The Public Health Service is stressing the importance of mutuallyfaithful monogamous relationships. No one should inject illicit drugs,

but if someone does, he or she should use a clean, unused needle

or syringe.

People with questions about AIDS can call the Public HealthService AIDS hotline (800-342-AIDS).

AIDS prevention at Villanova

Remains consistent witli CAurclr WeirsBy NOEL E. FALCO

News Editor

According to a Collie Press Service [CPS] report, "While Catholic

collies across the country opened the new term with the theological

problems of even talking about condoms, the nation's secular

campuses kept signing up to sell prophylactics at a rapid pace/'

A Dec. 3 statement of the American Catholic bishops on school-

based clinics stated, "We object to the campaign to provide

contraceptive services through school-based clinics on both moral andpractical grounds.

"The distribution ofcondoms to prevent pr^^nancy and the sexual

transmission of AIDS [Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome]deserves similar skepticism [as the distribution of sterile intravenous

needles]," the statement reported.

Gary Bonas, assistant director of student activities, said oh Jan.

29, that lack of condom distribution at Villanova is not a disservice

to students. Catholic students are not at a disadvantage comparedto other secular university students.

"We ought to represent the values of the Church. The valueis sexual abstinence. Realistically, it is not gpitif to happen. Studentsneed to be mature and make their owii decision and remember th^t

anybody is affected," Bonas said.

According to another CPS report, "[M]ost Catholic campus healthofficials have embraced the December statement by^ the NationalConference of Catholic Bishops, which disagreed with official Vaticandogma and said congr^nts should know condoms may help themavoid the disease but ' unlike scores of other collies, the Catholiccampuses are not dispensing condoms."

Statement issued onAIDS by ChurchBySUSAN E. CORCORAN

Featuns Editor

Until recently the Catholic Church has stood strong on its viewon AIDS educational policies. The issue has been strongly debatedamong Catholic hierarchy since the administrative board of the UnitedStates Catholic Conference released and qualified a statement thatincluded information about condoms in public education programs.The policy was passed in December of 1987. C

The statement is the work of a four-bishop task force headedby Bishop William Hughes of Covington, Ky. It was released becauseof the urgent nature of its subject after the approval by the 48-memberadministrative board of the United States Catholic Conference.

This is the first time the nation's bishops have given any sanctionto a sexual practice that departs from the Church^ ban on artificial

birth control. Studies show that the ban is ignored by the vast majorityof Catholics.

The 7,700-word policy statement, nine months in drafting, calls

for extensive public education to slow the spread of AIDS."Because we live in a pluralistic society," the bishops said in

explaining their unprecedented concession, such programs "willreflect the fact that some people will not act as they can and should;they will not refrain from the type of sexual or drug abuse behaviorwhich can transmit AIDS."

msistke first time tlie nation's Mtftofn tora glvon mysanction to a soxnal pntdco Itot departs horn tko

CInnvh'skan on artUklallrirtli control.

Programs that indude condom information, the statement said,

"should indicate that abstinence outside of marriage and fidelity

within marriage as well as the avoidance oi intravenous drug abuseare the only morally correct and medically sure ways to prevent the

spread of AIDS."The declaration calls for AIDS education programs "at every

appropriate level" in Catholic schools and colleges bcfinning in the

fifth amd nxth gradei.

Throughout the document, the bishopa, **m partkipants in tiie

puUk life of the nation," repeatadly affinnad their eagnnieaa to

collaborate "in the devek>pnnent of an informad and enlightened public

policy for the prevention of AIDS."The statement was filled withcompassion for the victims ofAIDS.

The bishops also addressed a variety of AIDS-related controversies,

opposing both "widespread mandatory testing" for AIDS and"indiscriminate quarantining" of people with AIDS.

The bishops also discussed their strong condenmation of the

"nîative attitudes as well as acts of violence diiêcted against gayand lesbian people."

A concern over the health care professionals who refuse medical

or dental care to AIDS patients was also a topic addressed by the

bishops at the conference. "We call upon all in the health care andsupport professions to be mindftd of their general moral obligation"

to care for afflicted people, while taking the necessary precautions.

Hospitals, "especially Catholic-affiliated institutions," the

bishops said, "have the responsibility and obligation to ensure that

people with AIDS and their families are cared for compassionately."

The bishops also went on to say Catholic institutions and "the

whole Church have roles to play in ensuring dignity, acceptance,

care and justice for people with the HIV human immunodeficiencyvirus infection and their families^î^They also want to see people withAIDS to be "encouraged to le^dôductive lives in their communityand place of work."

^^The Catholic Church has decided to accept its responsibility to

set a good example in seeing that any AIDS victims on its payroll

to "be employed as long as it is apprcmriate."

The document passed by the collected bishops also went on to

address the problem of living arrangements for those afflicted withAIDS. The statement said. Landlords are not justified in denyingdecent housing to AIDS victims merely because of their illness."

It also calls for funeral directors not to refuse their services to

those who have died of the disease.

The Church also believes that thgee infected with AIDS "in andof itself ' should not exclude a student from Catholic elementary or

secondary sdioote or rdkpkxis education pft^grams.

The biahopa alsoca& for increaaed federal funding for researchinto the diseaae and for the care of AIDS victims who lack adequatehaJth insurance or prifale rescwroes.

AIDS issue challenges the mediaBy CINDY BOSNIAN

Sta^Reporter

The death of Rock Hudson marked a dramatic turning point inthe history of AIDS media coverage, which tripled practicallyovernight.

With this increase would also emerge a "new journalism" definedby more explicit language and concern for the issues of confidentialityand pnvacy. So-called "family newspapers" would become moreinformative — often graphic — because they felt it was their duty^? A?1S"

available knowledge to educate the public about the dangerof AIDS.

_ Continous debate persists concerning the degree of informationwhich should be revealed in obituaries about AIDS victims. In thepast, newspapers were hesitant to discuss that which might invadethe pnvacy of the deceased or his or her family and friends.

Today, they are realizing that withholding information can bedetrimental to those already afflicted and the public at large. It canlead toan underestimation of the extent of the virus and delay progressm Its prevention and control.

People with the condition [AIDS is not a disease, it allows otherdisease to kill] or at high risk, such as homosexuals or IV-drug usersare especially supportive of the increased coverage, to the extend thatit IS accurê.

Althoiî^ the press has a responsibility to help educate, mostjournalists insist that their responsibility is to report the newsBecause the United States lacks a national AIDS policy, the presshas become the primary source of education.

The press has tried to repute this contention by citing, amongother things, an October 1987 Gallup poll in which 29 percent ofthe respondents still believed that someone could catch AIDS bydonating blood. Doctors and the press have reported this as virtuallyimpossible.

Jumping from underreporting to an overabundance of informationhas no doubt been advantageous, but has also brought claimsconcerning the transmission of AIDS which are medically unfoundedfor example, transmission through insects.

Furthermore, disagreement exists as to the threat of AIDS tothe general heterosexual population. Newspapers may seem to beexaggerating this threat but in actuality, AIDS experts cannot evenagree on it.

Common sense would dictate that the all-out coverage can atleast serve as a warning signal to those who might dismiss AIDSas a condition which only strikes others.

The United States' lack of a national policy has crippled effortsin fighting this epidemic. America is the most afflicted westerncountry, yet nationally has done the least to combat it. Controversyhas torn apart the Reagan administration and Congress from thestart.

While Surgeon General C. Everett Koop advocates a more liberalpolicy — widespread sex education and voluntary testing, conser-vatives assert that explicit education will only promote the issues

of drug use and homosexualty, and that mandatory testing is needed.The administration has seemed to want to rid itself of theresponsibility by passing it along to the individual states.

And the debate rages on. President Ronald Reagan's commissionis finally coming together after a period of internal turmoil whichhas resulted in a firing and two resignations since September.

Obviously the public favors education — a Gallup poll of 1,000adults taken in October 1987 revealed that 81 percent supported AIDSresearch, and increase of over 10 percentage points from the 1986poll. Also, AIDS dominated the chart (at 68 percent) as "the mosturgent health problem facing this country at the present time,"followed by cancer (at 14 percent).

Whereas public response is in favor of education, certain groupswithin society, such as politicians, TV and radio stations andbusinesses often seem more concerned with protecting their imageor getting the vote.

For example, many stations refuse to run federal governmentAIDS ads because of the ads* controversial and often graphic content.

But with the evolution of ''new joumaiism," the public wiii

be better informed that AIDS is not lust a condition whichaffects certain groups, but can affect us ail.

In our own backyard, Philadelphia sets a good example of a citydetermined to educate its citizens. The city spent $90,000 on a TVradio and poster campaign that was aimed at the city's youth. The"^dswhich began running Oct. 1, 1987, linked together forceful imagesof sex and death, using the slogan, "Stop a killer, use a condom."The campaign is only part of the city's $1.8 million AIDS prevention,testing and counseling program.

Crossing over to the other side of the country, Berkeley,California, is another city which has taken responsibility to inform.The city maintains the distinction of being the first city in the nationto mail AIDS pamphlets to each of its 55,000 households. Costing$50,000, the campaign has also been kept to a factual tone, lackingany graphic material.

Last year, Koop issued a 36-page brochure on AIDS to parentsand teachers, which is in high demand. However, the federalgovernment, despite adequate funding and a congressional directive,has failed to distribute any brochure nationwide.

The present state of AIDS education in the United States clearlyhas a long way to go. But with the evolution of "new journahsm,"the public will be better informed that AIDS is not just a conditionwhich affects certain groups, but can affect us all. To lessen confusionand heighten public awareness, a strong national policy is badlyneeded, and soon. Philadelphia and Berkeley have demonstrated thatcooperation and open minds are the keys in fighting the spread ofthis deadly epidemic together.

Church stresses need for policyBy NOEL E. FALCO

News Editor

The United States Catholic Conference's statement on acquiredimmunodeficiency syndrome (ATOS) recommended that "diocesesdraw up, as soon as possible, their own policy on the responsibility

of the Church as pastoral minister, employer, educator, and social

service provider and clarify the application of state and local publicpolicy to the diocesan guidelines."

According to the statement's policy recommendation, peopleinfected with AIDS "are entitled to the same treatment with r^rdto employment as other persons." Health and other benefits availableto other employees should be provided to those unable to continueworking.

Employment education programs should be offered by churchagencies in order to dispel fears of contracting AIDS through casualcontact in the workplace, the statement said.

As to education, the statement said infection with AIDS shouldnot be a reason to exclude students, but that alternative educationaland cathetical arrangements may be made for infected children"whose behavior has been shown to be a danger to others." Thisincludes children who cannot control, due to neurological damage,their bodily functions or those inclined to bite others.

Catholic social services and health agencies should ensure theavailability of medical care and support services to those infected.

"No client, patient or api^cant for services from a Catholic agencyor facility should be denied assistance, and employees should be heldaccountable for compliance with this policy," the statement said.

Also, the confidentiality of records, files and other informationabout the human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] status of peopleshould be protected.

The Surgeon General's report on AIDS also stated ".. . [C]urrent

public health practice is to protect the privacy of the individual infectedwith the AIDS virus and to maintain the strictest confidentialityconcerning his/her public records."

The reason behind this, according to the report, is that public

reporting of those infected often causes victims to "go underground

out of the mainstream of health care and education."

The Surgeon General also recommended the implementation of

AIDS task forces in his report. These AIDS task forces would combine

public health officials and others "who can speak broadly to issues

of access to care, provision of care and the availability of communityand psychiatric support services."

Task forces would be used in the community "to devebp plans

and policies, to speak, and to act for the good of the public health

at every level." They would provide informational and educational

programs to answer the concerns of those not infected, but "as AIDSimpacts moVe strongly on society, they should be charged with makingrecommendations to provide for the needs of those afflicted withAIDS."

The report also recommended sex education including informationon heterosexual and homosexual relationships with "a heavyemphasis on prevention of AIDS and other sexually transmitteddiseases." This education must start at the lowest grade possible

as part of a health and hygiene prog^m.Schools should further take into consideration the needs of

children affected with AIDS and AIDS related complex [ARC]. Higherauthorities will have to provide guidelines for these n^s on a casis-

by-case basis. i

"Offices, factories and other work sites should have a plan in

operation for education of the work force and accommodation of AIDSor ARC patients before the first such case appears at the work site,"

the report stated. Further, unions should issue preventive health

messages to employees.

The report said, "Employees with AIDS or ARC should be dealt

with as are any workers with a chronic illness."

By MEGAN WHITESU^ffRtporttr

Well, the panic is over and

everyone can relax again. Sibling

Weekend has come and gone, and•. your dvic duty for your family is

over. No more worrying al»ut

what to do with a nine year old

and how to keep your friends

under control in front of that nine

year old.

But let us be honest, Sibling

Weekend turned out to be a blast.

It brought us closer to the little

people in our family, and it gave

us a chance to relax and have

some clean fun.

A lot of work went into putting

Sibling Weekend together. A com-

mittee of 10 people, including the

twochairpersons. Dave Court and

Jon Mooney, have been working

diligently on the project since

September. They tried to find

events that would entertain both

the siblings and the students. TheResident Student Association, the

Association of Commuting Stu-

dents and Campus Ministry all

helped out to make the weekenda success.

A wide variety of activities wereplanned for the weekend. Friday

night there were two showings oi

"Goonies" and a carnival whichwas held in the Belle Air Terrace.

On Saturday there was a trip to

the FrankMn Institute for^thoae

people who wanted to venture

outside of the campus. Or if youwere not interested in that, the

pool and gym were open at the duPont PavUion.

A pep rally was scheduled in the

afternoon to get everyone psyched

for the Villanova vs. Pittsburgh

basketball game. Dinner wasavailable in the Connelly Center,

which was a definite welcome

after breakfast in the Pit.

The basketball game, whichwas the most popular event this

weekend, was followed by a dance

Weekend.

to keep everyone rocking into the morning hours.

On Sunday, Sibling Weekendwas brought to an end with aspecial mass.

The best thing about the week-

end is the way it brought the

students of Villanova together as

a family. It showed a different side

of students than you usually see

at a party or a night out.

Dave Court commented on howgreat it was to see people whowere willing to take an entire

weekend to spend with their

younger brothers and sisters. "It's

a wonderful way to share the

Villanova experience with the

family," said Gary Bonas, assis-

tant director of StudentActivities.

Now that it is over and we areall closer to our little brothers andsisters let us not forget what weare here for — a major load of

homework followed by a ton of

responsibilities, and maybe, just

maybe a few good parties on theweekends.

Theresa' captivates Cultural Film viewersBy ROSEMARY GAMBURG

StaffRunnier

"Tlierese," the third film to beshown in the Cultural Film Series

"Cinematic Images of Women,"generated an unexpected, yetinspiring response.

For the first time in several

years, according to Dr. JoanLynch, director of the Cultural

Film Series, all showings weresold out. Such attendance, at a

film which depicts the life of a

saint, in times of complex andconvoluted storylines, graphic

portrayal of violent acts on the

screen, and space age special

effects, is a phenomenon. Students

and members of the communityflocked to experience "Therese"

for themselves. Comments of

many viewers in the theater

indicated that they had returned

for a second, third andeven fourth

viewing.

What has created this over-

whelming interest in a saint whois best known for her "little way?"

What are the reasons for such a

phenomenon?

This film which produced suchan impressive box office draw wasnot a big budget Hollywood film,

but a masterfully simple, Frenchfilm directed by Alain Cavalier. It

is the fourth, and most recent film

about St. Therese of Lisieux.

Released in 1986, "Therese"was the winner of the Jury Prize

at the Cannes Film Festival that

same year. The austere yet beau-

tiful filming of "Therese" reflects

the intensity of Therese's life of

contemplation, and also depicts

the pure love and joy which she

gave to those around her. Thecinematic style is stark, minimaland direct.

In Lynch's introduction to the

film she stated, "It is a perfect

amalgam of form and content.

There are no sharp camera angles.

The sets have no doors, walls or

windows.

"Cavalier uses minimal color

and no music. The viewer exper-

iences aurally, as well as visually,

the silence and solitude of the

cloistered Carmelites. Editing is

done with a fade in and fade out

to black, simulating the veils

worn by the nuns, reflecting the

elusiveness and mystery of

spirituality."

"Therese" tells the story of

Therese Martin, born in 1873. Herfamily was extremely religious, in

a time of rising secularism in

France. Therese entered the Car-

melite Order at the delicate ageof 14, and died of tuberculosis in

1897 at the age of 27. WhileTherese was in the convent, the

mother superior encouraged her

to keep a diary, later titled TheStory of a Soul. This work hassubsequently been publishedworldwide.

Because of the flood of miracles

attributed to the intercession of

the "Little Flower," the church

dispensed with the period of 50

years which is the time required

before the cause of canonization

is begun. Therese was beatified in

1923 by Pope Pius XI and canon-

ized a saint in 1925, only 28 years

after her death.

Therese's practical approach to

sanctity, called "the little way,"

was based on a simple trust and

love of God, the Father. Therese

performed no miracles in her

lifetime, nor was she a martyr, yet

she is one of the most impressive

and significant phenomena in

contemporary times.

The discussion was co-led by

Lynch, associate professor of

communication arts at Villanova

University, Barbara Agnew, asso-

ciate professor of religious studies

at Villanova University and

Joanne Cann, associate professor

of religious studies and pastoral

counseling at Neuman College.

According to Lynch, St. Therese

is popular because she represents

millions of people who live quiet

lives of sanctity. These people

follow the little way by performing

daily duties with total love. Agnewfelt St. Therese lived a life of love,

which can be imitated by contem-

porary christians.

Therese's message was that of

a loving God, against a back-

ground which preached the need

for corporeal suffering and justice.

She saw holiness as unconditional

love, permeating everything. Cannstated that in the last 18 monthsof her life, Therese identified withthose without faith. She was a

sister of those who did not believe,

wondering herself about the exist-

ence of heaven, yet she had a deepinsight into the suffering shewithstood. She showered love onall whom she met — this is her

legacy to us.

This "phenomenon" which wehave witnessed may originate

from a search for spirituality in

our complex, overstimulatedworld. Although contemplation is

not familiar to many of us, height-

ened interest in it hints at our

desire to expand our inner selves,

possibly discovering on our jour-

ney, that we too can make Godour "personal reality," as Theresehas taught by her example.

In late March, the Cultural Film

Series will present a documentaryon a living saint, Mother Teresa,

who practices love through action.

For those seeking a path toward

spirituality, "Mother Teresa" will

also hold an inspirational

message.

Campus Ministry ;

Volunteer during

spring breakBy REV. RAY JACKSON,

O.S.A

Ifyouget a break from school

work and the tedium of late

winter, why not go south? Thewarm waters of the Carribean

beckon. The surf and sand of

Florida offer relaxation. Mayanruins and exotic tropical drinks

will intrigue and numb the

mind. On the other hand, a

week spent at St. Francis Inn,

a house of hospitality for the

homeless, destitute andimproverished people of Phila-

delphia can also invigorate the

heart and expand the mind.

"Wait a minute, are you

crazy? Are you telling me that

I can have more fun and excite-

ment in Philadelphia working

with the poor than I can have

bar hopping in downtown vaca-

tionland?" No, I do not want

to compare the relative merits

of where people spend their

free time; all I want to do is

offer one alternative.

It may very well be that

going home and relaxing with-

out books for a week could be

the best kind of love you can

give yourself. We all need free

time and time alone in order

to regain the strength neces-

sary to pursue the academic

demands placed on us during

the school year. Sometimes,

however, we gain energy when

we reach out and serve others.

That is what the spring

break volunteer project at St.

Fi-ancis Inn is about. It

involves, among other things,

working on home repairs for

the elderly, visiting people whoare shut-ins or ill, feeding the

children, the unwed mothers

and an assortment of street

people.

In addition to helping these

people, there is the huge bonus

of sharing the experience with

other students. In past years,

new friendships were formed

and old ones deepened.

Most of the days are spent

working on projects together in

the neighborhood of St. Francis

Inn, while the evenings are

generally reserved for discus-

sions on the day's events and

some free time. The vast major-

ity of kids who decided to spend

spring break in Philadelphia

during the past several years

have claimed it is the best-ever

category of vacation time.

If you have not made plans

for the break, why not join us

for a volunteer week? The next

two meetings are on Feb. 23

and March 1 at 6:30 p.m. in the' Center for Peace and Justice,

Sullivan Hall. We may not be

able to guarantee you a tan, but

we certainly can guarantee a

worthwhile, memorable andwell-spent experience.

/i. Professor conquers the fear of mtiirBy KAREN lOVINO

St^// Reporter

As an English major, I havealways hated math. I avordnumbers at all costs (no punintended). I dread the day that I

have to fill out my own incometax forms, and I even hate usingthe MAC machine' in ConnellyCenter. If you are like me, youmight be interested in a coursecalled "math anxiety workshop"taught by Dr. Michael LeviUn,associate professor of mathemat-ical sciences at Villanova.

The phrase "math anxiety"came into being in the late ld70swhen author Sheila Tobias pub-lished her book Overcoming MathAnxiety.

Levitan, in Australia on sabbat-ical at the time, found the conceptintriguing. He had noticed manybright students with an inability

to do math and often wonderedabout the reasons.

"I used to feel the frustrationfrom both sides, my frustration at

not being able to get through to

a student, and the frustration ofthe student who wanted to learnbut was not able ta" Levitan said.

Upon returning to Villanova in

1979, he created the math anxiety

workshop.Math anxiety can do more than

just affect academic performance.

Levitan remembers people whowould not go itito nursing becausethey knew that a course in sta-

tistics was a requirement for a

nursing major. This kind of anx-

iety can deter people from careers

that would otherwise be fulfilling,

and can also lower one's self

esteem.

For these reasons Levitanbelieves that math anxiety is

psychological, not mathematical,

in nature. It is simply an avoid-

ance of anything to do with math.It can stem from something as

simple as an incompetent teacher

in grade school, or an illness that

prevented a student from learning

a new math concept along withthe rest of the class.

Levitan asserts that the stu-

dents must recognize their role in

overcoming the problem. "Math is

a tricky subject in that it contin-

ually buiMs on previous knowl-

edge. It's hard to buiki on a shakyfoundation," Levitan states.

More women than men suffer

from mat|} anxiety, and this may

'The In Crowd' disappointsBy ELANA ROSE STARR

Staff Reporter

"The In Crowd"directed by Mark RosenbergOrion Pictures

A number of motion pictures

have been shot in the Philadelphia

area over the past few years.

•Taps." "Trading Places,"

"Birdy," "Blow Out" and "Man-nequin" are just a few of the films

that were made on location here.

You can now add "The In Crowd"to the list. The work of West OakLane native Mark Rosenthal,

"The In Crowd," set in Philadel-

phia, had its world premiere twoweeks ago at the AMC Palace

Theatre in Center City.

"The In Crowd" is a passably

diverting period piece, circa 1%5.It is about an afterschool televi-

sion dance show, which is the

ostensible replacement for "Amer-ican Bandstand" after Dick Clark

has moved the show to warmerclimes. Joe Pantoliano, late of "LaBamba," "Risky Business," and"Empire of the Sun" (he played

sleazy thugs in the last two), is

the smiling but manipulativehost, Perry.a shark in a sharkskin

jacket. Perry acquires quite a

following, with most of the area

teens, from city toughs to middle-

class kids in the suburbs, tuning

into "Dance Party" religiously.

Del Green is one of the latter.

An "A" student in his senior year

at Cheltenham High School, Del

was "brought into this world to

go to medical school." But whenwe first meet him, instead of

studying for his collcige boards,"Dance Party" is blaring on his

family's black-and-white televi-

sion, and he is doing a reasonable

Tom Cruise imitation in the living

room to the Contours' classic "DoYou Love Me?" Del has a crushon the show's featured dancer, a

blonde airhead named Vicky. Afew days later, Del crashes "DanceParty," and he not only gets to

appear on television, but he is also

paired off with Vicky, whosetough boyfriend has been ban-

ished from the show.Del becomes a "Dance Party"

regular, thanks to all the fan mail

that pours in, and predictably, the

film follows him as he learns just

how far apart his two worlds —the "Dance Party" studio on the

one hand, home and school on the

other — are.

Del's home life is safe and staid;

the biggest brouhaha in his neigh-

borhood is when a neighbor showsoff his new Cadillac. Most, if not

all, of Del's classmates are college

bound, following in their parents'

footsteps. (Del's father is a TempleUniversity alumnus, according to

his sweatshirt.)

The "Dance Party" regulars,

though, are from working-class

areas. Vicky, for example, lives in

a grimy Germantown rowhouse,

and her dad is a cop, a true Rizzo

unknowns, are very good in their

roles. Donovan Leitch (son of the

'60s pop singer) is affable as Del,

and Jennifer Runyon, who looks

like a cross between Darryl Han-nah and Mariel Heming^\'ay, is

fine as the nubile Vicky. But thereal stars of the movie are the local

sights and the music.

Rosenberg includes plenty of

familiar scenery: shots of theTower Theatre and 69th Street

(home to the real "AmericanBandstand" when it originated

from Philadelphia); Temple's Tom-linson Theatre; the Aliens LaneSEPTA train station; Independ-ence Square and Wildwood are all

featured. It is certainly fun to pick

out all the recognizable locales.

Cameos by such long-time areafixtures as Sally Starr and Hy Lit

also add to the ambience.The soundtrack, both the back-

ground music and the dancetunes, feature an assortment of

rock 'n roll hits from the era.

including "Last Night I Had a

Wonderful Dream;" Dylan's"Highway 61 Revisited" and, of

course, Eiobie Gray's rendition of

"The In Crowd." It is a nostalgic

and affectionate recollection, butthe attitude toward music is

somewhat anachronistic. By early

1965, the Beatles were firmly

entrenched as a rock phenomenon.

stalwart. Vicky dismisses college yet Perry never plays any of their

as unnecessary: "I'm a girl, silly!" songs. In fact, when a "mop top"She sees higher education as British group wants to appear onstrictly the province of wealthy the show. Perry turns them down,young males. And while the local condescendingly claiming that heguys enjoy their stints on the can not tell if they are male orshow, they are all toughs right out female. No wonder his show is

of "West Side Story." As one of being canned to make way for thethem explains, "Dancin', fightin', "Psychedelic Shack"; Perry justwhais the difference?" can not keep up with the changingThe young actors, all relative times.

The dance sequences should

have been a highlight of the film,

as they were choreographed byJeff Hornaday, who designed the

dance numbers for "Flashdance."Five years ago, the routines in

"The In Crowd" would have beenconsidered imaginative; after the

rousing "Footloose," and last

summer's "Dirty Dancing." How-ever, they seem merely derivative.

Still, it was amusing to see line

dancing once again.

Earlier this year, Mayor Goode'soffice announced that a special

task force had been formed to lure

filmmakers to Philadelphia. Noother American city is courting

on-location shooting so openly,

and many more films will surely

be made here during the comingyears. Let us hope that they are

more original than "The In

Crowd."

We« Graven horrifies with new filmBy RUSS CECCOLA

Senior Reporter^^BMThe Serpent and the Rainbow"

directed by Wes CravenUniversal Pictures

Wes Craven has long beenregarded as a director capable of

making the most sturdy of mindbreak upon seeing the images he

conjures up on a movie screen.

With hits such as "The Hills Haveeyes" and "A Nightmare on ElmStreet," Craven has introduced

horror movie fans to memorablecharacters, especially in the formof Freddy Krueger, the dreamkiller with the burnt face andknife-decorated glove. Craven hasperformed both of these functions

in his latest work of the macabre,

"The Serpent and the Rainbow,"

a movie based on the true expe-

riences of Harvard anthropologist

Wade Davis.

Davis journeyed to Haiti to find

a drug capable of simulating

death, a symotom popularlyknown as "zombification." Usedexclusively by voodoo priests in

Haiti, Davis investigated theculture of the Haitian people andsecret voodoo societies. Theresults of his travels werecondensed into a book entitled TheSerpent and the Rainbow.The movie of the same name

puts '*Spaceballs" star Bill Pul-

lman in the role of dennis Alan,

an explorer sent to Haiti to

research the zombification drugfor a pharmaceutical companyplanning to market it as an anaes-

thetic. Alan's mission parallels

Davis' quest in the events that

happen in Haiti, yet differs in

reason for the trip.

Alan encounters much resist-

ance to his work, with researcher/

doctor Marielle Celine (CathyTyson) and her father Lucien

Celine (Paul Winfield) as his only

allies in the country. His research

drags him deeper and deeper into

the voodoo subculture of Haiti,

eventually pittmg him against

Daiigent Peytraud (Zakes Mokae).an evil voodoo priest who doublesas the leader of the tontonsmacQutes, police force of Haiti. In

his search for the drug, Alan paysthe owner of a local seedy night-

club to show him how tQ makeit and winds up buried alive byPeytraud.

Because of my lack of knowl-edge of actual voodoo practices, I

really cannot say whether Cravenhas accurately portrayed this

religion of Haiti. Nevertheless, theimages he shoves in your face andevents that occur in the film

disturb the mind, causing disbe-

lief. Davis was very happy withCraven's presentation of voodooand his search for the drug,although he never did see a zombiebrought to life or was buried alive.

Craven relies on his mastery of jh.

the dream world to present mostof the unsettling images. Alan is

constantly plaqued by the reap-

pearance of a woman's corpse in

a bridal gown and also, has recur-

ring deja vu about his premature

burial, hence the misleading

phrase on the movie poster that

attempts to draw moviegoers"Don't bury me ... I'm not dead!"

The film hardly revolves aroundAlan's burial; the bulk of it deals

with voodoo.

SpeciaKeffects were brought off

realistically in "The Serpent andthe rainbow." From the scorpion

that emerges from Lucien Celine's

mouth after his death, to thetorture of Peytraud by Alan, to the

consumption of glass by voodoodancers, the scenes make theuneasy turn away from the screen.

Probably the most terrifying

situation in the film that wouldmake me think twice about goingto Haiti is the burial of Alan.

Although "zombified," he can see

hear and feel everything, withoutany movement. Alan sees Pey-

traud throw the dirt into his graveand drop a tarantula into his

coffin to "keep him company," yet

is immobile — not the kind of

night you want to have.

The two strongest facets of

**The Serpent and tiK Rainbow

'

are the terror and imagery asso-

ciated with the voodoo rituala andthe acting of the individuals that

participated in the film. All of the

characters are portrayed with arealism not seen in moat pictures,

evoking empathy from anythoughtful audience. Pullman andTyson's relationship works well

on the big screen and Mokae doesa good job as an evil and threat-

ening person.

"The Serpent and the Rainbow"will reside in your mind for awhile, causing you to question the

existence of such practices andthe brutality of natives against

foreigners in a modern world suchas our own. Davis claims that thedrug's existence is a reality, butthat it probably cannot be separ-

ated from the culture in which it

is made and used. Regardless of

the implications of the voodooaspect of the film, "The Serpentand the Rainbow" gives a good jolt

of uncomfortable terror to themoviegoer looking to escape real-

ity for a while.

E.F. C. Celebrates20-YearAnniversaryBy JOE McGOWAN

Senior Reporter

Electric Factory Concerts cele-

brated its 20th anniversary last

Sunday with, not surprisingly, aneight-hour concert. The Electric

Factory once was a Philadelphia

concert hall, hosting the likes of

Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd and TheWho. Now strictly a concertpromotion agency. Electric Facto-

ry has grown immensely — ashave concert ticket prices.

The bill for the anniversaryconcert was a mixed one. Therewas a preponderance of '60s musicacts from the days of The Electric

Factory as well as Philadelphia

^cts young and old. While acts

such as the openers, the SpencerDavis Group, and the ChambersBrothers and Iron Butterfly repres-

ented the psychedelic era, Bricklin

and Tommy Conwell & The,Young Rumblers represented the

continuation of the Philadelphiarock tradition.

Ed Schiaky, Pierre Robert andother Philadelphia disc jockeyshosted the event , putting aside for

the day station rivalries. Each act

was allotted approximately 35 to

45 minutes excepting the "Phila-

delphia All-Stars," which consist-

ed in a series of covers ("StandBy Me" and so forth) byPhiladelphia-area rock "stars" —from early groups such as ToddRundgren's The Nazz to contem-porary outfits such as SeparateChecks and Pretty Poison. Thecover versions were, overall, fairly

dreadful but the musicians at

least seemed to be having fun.

The emphasis of the show wason the psychedelic. A "spectacularpsychedelic light show" was puton (it was for most of the showbarely visible) and between acts

MTV "Closest Classics" videoswere aired on the Spectrum's"Arenavision." In fact, it was thevideos of Jimi Hendrix ("WildThing" and "Voodoo Chile") andFree ("All Right Now") thatreceived the most applause fromthe audience.

The audience was somewhatless than receptive to the neweracts, especially Tommy conwell,whose musical roots are really

from the '50s rather than the '60s.

But Conwell seemed to flourish in

adversity and put on a fast andloud set that followed the even-ing's best act.

Spirit stole the show. DaveMason took to the stage amidhearty applause but even his

Traffic fame could not prevent his

sedate acoustic set from' beinginstantly forgotten. The revampedand streamlined Spirit, however,played a loud but precise set that

stuck to their past hits.

After an opening instrumental,

Spirit (now a trio) launched into

"Nature's Way" (from their fourth

album The Twelve Dreams of Dr.

Sardonicus), "Fresh Garbage"(from their first LP), "Animal

Zoo," "Dark Eyed Woman,""Nothin' to Hide," "All the Same"and, perhaps their best song, "I

Got A Line On You" (from their

second release The Family That

Plays Together). tually devolved into solo projects.

editor. You can import graphics

from Print Shop or Newsroom. Theprogram contains 50 fonts, but

alk)ws you to design your own.Every option is selected via

menus, and the simplicity of

operation of the entire system is

astounding.

TOMAHAWK •»A DATA-SOFT C 64/128. ATTomahawk is yet another helic-

opter simulation, which turns out

to be pretty good. The graphics

are three-dimensional color views

of what you would see from the

cockpit if you were actually in the

helicopter. There are a variety of

missions that you can choose

from, with both day and night

missions possible.

The designers of the simula-

tion/game decided to make their

helicopter easy to control, yet

tough to master. That is the

approach that you have to take

with Tomahawk: do not expect a

very hard mision if you know howto make the helicopter respond at

will.

Tomahawk also includes a

detailed brochure on the history,

design and development of the

Apache helicopter. Read this

before playing the game to under-

stand the beauty in helicopter

flight. Practice is all that will help,

but the effort to learn how to fly

a helicopter is worthwhile.

PROJECT; SPACE STATION• ACCOLADE C64/128,AP, IBM

Project: Space Station is a very

interesting program that lets youdesign, build and run an orbiting

space station. Doing this is not an

easy task; but, once completed, anoperating space station is sign of

a mission well performed. Thegraphics are sufficiently detailed

for the simulation/game and it is

easy to work the design-and-build

system.

There are five parts to anymission in Project: Space Station.

The first involves planning the

station and coordinating all ele-

ments such as the number of

modules, crew members, and cost

of equipment. Then, all of the

station parts are loaded onto a

space shuttle and launched into

orbit.

Modules must then be linked in

outer space to form the station.

The shuttle must be landed suc-

cessfully. Finally, research anddevelopment experiments must becompleted on the station. If all is

done well, the mission is

successful.

STREET SPORTS BASKET-BALL •• EPYX C64/128,AP, IBMEpyx never fails in their games

and Street Sports Basketball is aperfect example of that. Thissports game is an easy-to-play

basketball game that takes place

not on the familiar court, but in

one of four outdoor settings:

schoolyard, alley, suburban back-

yard or inner-city parking lot.

There are also 10 possible teammembers on the disk. With such'

names as butch. Radar, Vic and"Magic," you know that this is noNCAA playoff game. Each teamhas three members and you canplay against the computer or

another player. Regardless of

player choice, you will find that

Street Sports Basketball one of the

best sports programs of the year.

DEMON STALKERS **•

ELECTRONIC ARTS C64/128Demon StalkersX is a combina-

tion game/construction set that

resembles the arcade game Gaun-tlet in its three-dimensional over-

head view of dungeons, but differs

in its varied options and approach.

The object of Demon Stalkers is

to survive each dungeon level andmake it to the exit, ultimately

reaching the 100th level anddefeating the demon of the title.

In the dungeons, two players

can search for treasures, magicitems, food, keys and scrolls that

tell of the demon while avoidingmonsters like rats and ghosts.

The dungeons are interesting, but

they are overpopulated with mons-ters. Reaching the 100th level is

hard, but you can save the gameas you go along.

Woody Allen chronicledBy ROBERT 0UGCAN

SHiff Kiptlffer

Fun With Woody: The CompleteWoody Allen Quiz Bookby Graham FlashnerOwl Books

If anyone has ever said to you.

"I'm not afraid to die, I just don*t

want to be there when it

happens," or some other line

belonging to Woody Allen and youwanted to find out exactly whereit came from, then GrahamFlashner's Fun with Woody is the

first place you should look.

Graham Flashner, a screenwri-

ter and fanatical Woody-phile, hascreated the definitive quiz book onthe life and works of Allen Stewatt

Konigsberg, better known asWoody Allen.

After covering Allen's childhood

(Woody was "all schoolyard. Theythrew him a football once, and hetried to dribble it.") and his early

nightclub and gag-writing years,

Flashner moves into the heart of

the comic's work — his movies.

Each of the 20 films Allen hasworked on as either an actor,

writer, director or a combinationof the three is given an entire

chapter of coverage. From"What's New, Pussycat?" in 1965

to "Radio Days" in 1987, Allen's

career in film is covered not only

Concert(Continuedfrom page 32)

gained a following among the '60srock and heavy metal audienceslargely because of his guitarplaying, which is reminiscent of

that of the late Jimi Hendrix.California and drummer Ed

Cassidy got together again a fewyears aô on a reunion tour withother veteran psychedelic actssuch as Iron Butterfly and VanillaFudge, playing smaller venuessuch as the Chestnut Cabaret.

Spirit had not played the Spec-trum since 1971, but one wouldnever know this last Sunday asthey brought to the stage fresh,

fast versions of their old stand-ards. Rather than trying for a newsound, as many reformed 60s actsare doing. Spirit instilled new life

in old hits and put on an energeticperformance in an Electric Facto-ry show that was not quiteelectrifying.

through the questions, but alio

through pictures from the moviesand pertinent quotes taken fromthe many interviews of Allen andbooks written about his films.

Chapters are also devoted to his

plays. "Don't Drink the Water/'"Play It Again. Sam," and "TheFloating Ught Bulb," and his

books, Getting Even, WithoutFeathers and Side Effects.

But even if you have not seen

all the movies or the plays or read

the books, this book is worth the

price just to read the great lines

Allen has turned out over the

years. Allen's big three of sex,

death and God that permeates his

work is given ample attention in

the questions Flashner asks.

Flashner repeats Allen's

memorable sex joke. "Everybodyis obsessed with sex, except for

some men who do not think about

sex at all. They become lawyers."

Another great line on the subject

from "A Midsummer Night's SexComedy" is "Sex alleviates ten-

sion. Love causes it."

"There are worse things than

death," Woody said in "Love andDeath." "Anyone who has spent

an evening with an insurancesalesman knows exactly what'

I

mean."On the subject of deities you

will find, "Not only is there noGod, but try getting a plumber on

wMkeftda." FUahner lUaoreooimts Woody'a slory of MBfan atheist and wanting to marryan agnootic They never got mar-ried OBcauae they could not deddewhidi religion not to bring the

children up in.

To see the world through the

unique perspective of Allen is ahilariously wonderful ride that

Graham Flashner takes thereaderon through his excellent choice of

otiestions and quips. The obvious

depth of the author's knowledgeof Allen's work in thisbook makesit as much a tribute to the writer's

devotion to the artist as to the

artist himself.

This book, like all quiz books,

will come in handy when you feel

like stumping friends or usingoneof the lines as a snappy comeback.However, the book's comprehen-siveness and the way it reflects

the subject so truly, separates it

from the run of the mill celebrity

trivia book.

For anyone who has everenjoyed an Allen film, this bookis for you. Flashner has gotten at

the haul of what makes the li^red-haired guy with the fuil^y

glasses so entertaining and^sovery lovable. No where else ^rill

you get such a complete, eiuoyablyfunny glimpse of the painfoUyregular guy with the very hilaf*

iously irregular view of the world.

Musical commentary(CoiUimmd/rmpagt 31)

sometimes moody, o^ten upbeat

9(Mninute 8^.Un McCulloch, not to under-

mine the strength of eachmeiiiber. is gifted with the kind

of voice that can carry a band.

He shifted effortlessly betweensoulful ballads like 'The Kil-

ling Moon" and "Lips Like

Sugar'* and faster, more rock-

ing songs like ^'Rescue'* and"The Cutter." His voice, heav-

ily, layered with echo, had all

the r^spiness and power of his

studio work.

McCulloch is known as anarrogant mystic, but he is animmensely interesting, heart-

rendering performer. He sangwith a isubdued passion andwas the picture of coolness

wearing a loosely fitting leather

jacket and caressing his mike,

cigarette always in hand. Heseemed lost in the power Of his

songs; his eyes were either

closed or staring wistfully at

his guitar. About the only

words he uttered were a shy"Thank you" after each song.

The band played a generous

sampling of all five of their

studio albums. In fact, the

concentration seemed to be onthe older tunes. The crowd wasdecidedly more responsive to

songs off the new album andSongs To Learn & Sing, their

greatest hits compilation, prov-

ing further that Echo is just

starting to become fashionable.

Some of the show's high-

lights included a raucous ren-

dition of "The Back Of Love,"

which originally brought the

crowd alive, and the familiar

cover of The Doors' "SoulKitchen." .

The band encored with a

great version of "Do It Clean"

which featured a medley(including "Blue Moon" of all

things!) of McCulloch improv-

isatkms. The song was inter-

rupted innumerable time by

girls who rushed the st9ge,

smothering McCulloch with

kisses. McCulkx:h did not miss

a step though and broke into

some slithery, frenzied dancing

that just spawned moreattacks. McCulloch introduced

the second encore saying softly,

"Sing akwig with me." Theband then broke into an irre-

sistably fun version of "Twist

& Shout."

Have Echo& The Bunnymenfinally found a strong Ameri-

can audience? Let us hope so.

Maybe they will even get

played on American radio someday.

WHAT'S NEWR.E.M., the band that does

no wrong, is set to release its

third single from Document,

titled ''Finest Worksong,"which tentatively includes

both a live version and (believe

it or not) a more upbeat remix.

Even stranger, R.E.M. is also

contemplating the release of

their version of Prince's "Rasp-

berry Beret" on a B-side whichthey recorded with WarrenZevon in 1986.

Speaking of R.E.M., it is

interesting to note their effect

on the popular music scene..

R.E.M.'s album, which is quite

good, is currently sandwichediii, the charts between Madon-na's dance track LP and Aero-

smith's latest effort, which are

both quite bad. Obviously, the

fact that people are buying

both good and bad music in

equal units constitutes a lack

of discretion, and they should

be punished.Next week: A review of Rob-

' yn Hitchcock's latest, general

commentary, information, andother unfounded opinions.

Entertainineiit tidl^tsBy STEPHEN POWERS

Staff Reporter

How often does television do

some real good? Many telethons

are held throughout the year and

raise money for worthy causes

and sometimes, a network produ-

ces a movie like "Adam," which

makes people aware of the danger

children are in, and also helps

locate many missing children by

telecasting their pictures. But

most programs are on the air for

one reason: to make money. How-ever, in the past month, two of

these programs have also man-

aged to benefit society by aiding

in the capture of criminals.

One of those programs is NBC's"Unsolved Mysteries." The showis a "designated hitter," meaningit airs once a month in various

timeslots instead of a rerun of

another series. The fifth episode

of the series, which aired two

weeks ago, led to the arrest of twosuspected killers. As the result of

other episodes, "Mysteries" has

also helped solve three other

criminal cases, and located the

heir to a small fortune.

Granted, "Unsolved Mysteries"

is not exactly what you would call

a quality program. It is not a

documentary and does not use

actual news footage; instead, the

show consists mostly of re-

enactments of crimes. The whole

thing often plays like a TV version

of The National Enquirer. But, if

this series can actually solve a

mystery once in a while, then it

is worthy of a place on NBC'sschedule.

Granted, 'Unsolved

Mysteries' is not exactly

whatyou would calla

^quality program.

Fox Broadcasting is trying out

a similar program on its seven

owned-and-operated stations,

with the hopes of syndicating the

program nationwide. "America's

Most Wanted" features re-enacted

crimes and asks viewers to phone

in tips on criminals' whereabouts.

The program is hosted by JohnWalsh, the father of Adam Walsh,

whose disappearance and subse-

quent death was the subject of the

"Adam" television movie.

Although "Most Wanted" has

not yet caught any criminals, the

GUADALAJARASUMMERSCHOOL

viewer response to the show has

been great; the studio where the

program is taped received 700

calls after the first episode wasbroadcast. The show had a one-

time outing on Channel 29 last

week, because the lead story wasabout a fugitive believed to be near

Philadelphia, but it can be regu-

larly seen Sunday at 6:30 p.m. on

WNYW, New York's Channel 5.

On the music scene, several

veteran performers are makingcomebacks on the Billboard

charts. Eric Carmen, who has not

had a top 10 hit since "All ByMyself" in 1976, returns to the

charts this week at No. 5 with

"Hungry Eyes," from the "Dijrty

Dancing" soundtrack. Camehwas fired from Geffen Records

three years ago, and moved bapk

to Cleveland. But one hit from a

hit LP has managed to revive his

career. Carmen is being flooded

with offers from various labels,

and Arista, his old label, is releas-

ing "The Best of Eric Carmen"this week.

Ex-Beatle George Harrison is

also staging a comeback, and his

latest single, "When We WereFab," is climbing the charts

quickly. The single is from the

"CLoud 9" album, Harrison's first

. LP to go gold since 1979.

Short Takes: The Holly-

wood western will soon be revived

once again. Emilio Estevez, Char-

lie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland and

Lou Diamond Phillips ("La Bam-t)a'') are currently in New Mexico,

shooting "Young Guns" withEstevez as a young Billy the Kid

Tom Hanks, who is co-starring

with Sally Field in the upcomingfilm "Punchline." hosts NBC's"Saturday Night Live" tomorrow.

Hanks hosted the show oncebefore, in Dec., 1985 . .

.

It looks like Casey Kasem will

not be hosting radio's "AmericanTop 40" after this year. Negoti-

ations have broken down between

ABC Radio and Kasem, who has

hosted the show since 1970. Areplacement will be named within

the month . .

.

And finally, Priscilla Presley,

who has played Jenna Wade on"Dallas" for the past five years,

will leave th^ CBS soap at the end

of the season. The departure of

the former Mrs. Elvis Presley is

no surprise, and comes at a time

when "Dallas" is planning major

creative changes, including paring

down its large cast. Rumor has it

that Presley is jumping from the

"Dallas" ship before she is

pushed.

A single called "The Axe is

Gonna Swing" is the first release

from a new band called MysteryGirls. The band is a hard rock/

heavy metal foursome that con-

sists of Debbie Valenti (lead vocals

and guitars), Larry Mitchell (gui-

tars), Steve Missal (drums andbacking vocals) and Chris Larsen(bass). The name Mystery Girls

was adopted because 4}f the useof three love dolls known asNatasha, Eva and Hanna on the

single's sleeve and in publicity

shots, as well as on stage. The

dolls are the "mystery girls."

You may ask why mention is

made of a band that only has a

single out, without any album of

prior exposure to back them up.

The reason for the bother is' that

lead singer Valenti is head basket-

ball coach RoUie Massimino'sniece. Her mother's maiden namewas Massimino. If the two songs

on the single are any indication

of other material. Mystery Girls

should get some good exposure:

Further success will probably be

gotten from her relationship with

Rollie. Perhaps she wears Windsorshirts too.

Vinanova hockey team finished Uie '87-'88 campaifn with a pair

id loaaes to powerful Notre Dame.

Club sports thrive

By JOHN E. SWIFTStatistician

On the final weekend of the

regular season, the Villanova Ice

Hockey team traveled a great

distance to play a pair of gamesagainst a well-respected NotreDame squad.

In the opener on Feb. 12, the

Cats were thoroughly whipped by

the score of 14-0. The heavily

favored Irish dominated every

facet of the contest. The only

bright spot for the Cats was the

36 saves that junior goalie MitchDoren made.With a 14-0 loss still a vivid

memory, the Ice Cats came out

bubbling with intensity for the

final game of the season.

Freshman George Schneideropened the contest with a goal to

give the Cats a 1-0 lead early in

the first period. Notre Dame

scored the next four goals before

sophomore Kevin Stadtler made it

4-2 after one period.

Bob Ward, 'Nova's leading scor-

er, made it 4-3 early in the second

period before the Irish scored six

straight goals to put the game out

of reach. Notre Dame coasted the

rest of the way to hand Villanova

a disappointing 15-5 defeat.

"We came out fired-up andready to play in that secondgame," said Wildcat head coach

Skip Probst. "We had two short

lapses that cost us, but other than

that, we played pretty well."

Despite dropping the final four

games of the season, the Ice Catsfinished with a 9-18-1 overall

record and a 4-10-1 mark in the

ECAC South Conference.

Coming off a season like this,

one in which the team was to gain

the experience necessary to be

competitive in the future, next

year will not be easy. Thoughmuch will be expected of this teamnext year, there is little doubt that

next season will be much better

than this one.

Retoy-team finishes secomlBy TERRY KELLY

Sii^R$p$rttr

Last weekend the men's winter

track team competed in two meetsand came away with mixedresults. The Cats competed in the

Olympic Invitational at the NewJersey Meadowlands and Miller

Lite Meet at George MasonUniversity.

At the Olympic Invitational the

team finished, once again, second

behind Georgetown. The last time

the two teams met in the two-mile

relay, the Hoyas came away with

a 1.24 second victory. This time

the Cats cut the margin of defeat

to one-tenth of a second.

The team id Aidan O'Refui,Mark SuUivan, Howard Jadnonand Bruce Harris oombined their

spliU of 1:52.9, 1:52.6, 1:50.6 and1:51.1, respectively, for a com-bined time of 7:27.14 to Geof«e-

town's 7:27.04.

At the MUkr Ute Meet the

squad of Grant Davis, MarkRainey^ O'Regan and EdwinModibedi took third place in the

mile relay. Their splits of 48.4,

49.6, 49.7 and 47.4 gave them a

combined time of 3:15.06. For the

second time of the weekend the

team was less than a second

behind Georgetown (3:14.48). Theonly difference this time was that

the Atlantic Coast Track Club

(3:11.19)beatboth BigEast teams.

The only bad newt ol the wee-

kend came in the only indhrkhial

performance of the two meeta. Atthe Gttyinpic Invitational MarcJones iivvred his knee in the 900-

meter race. The injury occurredwhen Jones fell in,tfae last turnof the race.

Hopefully, Jones will be able to

compete in the last few races of

the season, but it is likely that hewill be sidelined at least until the

outdoor season.

For now. the rest of the teamis preparing for the Big EastChampionship meet this weekendat Syracuse University.

Last Friday, the Villanova wres-tling team split matches in their

final home dual meet of theseason. The Cats decisively beat

Moravian 35-14, but lost to a verypowerful MiUersville team, 29-11.

Junior runners starBy MICHAEL E. JONES

Staff Reporter

Two weeks ago Vjcky Huber gother first real taste oif international

competition in the Panasonic Mileat the Millrose games and hadspectators in awe.

Last week fellow juniors KathyFraney, Celeste Halliday andMichelle DiMuro went up against

the "big boys" at the star-studded

Miller Lite Meet in Fairfax, Va.

and experienced similar success.

.

Halliday and DiMuro finished

fifth and sixth, respectively, in the

800-meters, while Franey finished

fourth in the mile in what HeadCoach Marty Stern called "the

best race I've ever seen her run."

Halliday and DiMuro finished

within an eyelash of each other

in 2:07.10 and 2:07.11, and for

DiMuro it was a personal indoor

best. Halliday ran her second

fastest indoor time ever, and wasthe first collegiate runner to

finish. Stem visualizes both run-

ning even faster with more inter-

national experience under their

belts.

When Franey stepped to the line

for the start of the mile, she knewshe would have her hands full

with the likes of Romanian Doina

Melinte, who had broken the

indoor world record in the mile the

night before at the Olympic Invi-

tational in New Jersey. Early in

the race, Franey controlled the

pace. She led for the first six laps

on the 200-meter track, and hungtough before succumbing to

Melinte's overpowering kick. Fra-

ney's time of4:45.07 was far from

her personal best, but she proved

to herself that she could run with

the best. Stem added, "She's run

faster, and won many, but this

was the strongest competition

she's been involved with. She's

already an all-American, nowshe's taken the first step towards

being world class."

The remaining Wildcats wereidle, and are well -rested for the

upcoming Big East Indoor Cham-pionships in Syracuse this wee-kend. The Cats will be looking to

make it five in a row, having wonthe indoor title every year since

Big East competition began1983.

"1 really Cian't explain it. I feel

The one-meter event, held Friday,came down to the very last dive.

Echeverria successfully complet-ed his last dive, which merited a3.0 difficulty rating to snatch thevictory by seven points. His scoreof 512.90 set a new school record.

1987, studied the "critical areasof the quality of staff, need for

Services, presented health reasons

in opposition to this suggestion,

saying that the Board of Healthdoes not like the cafeteria to beused for other activities.

Another problem is that the

dining facility may not be suffi-

ciently clean by the next meal.

Gies related his own experiences

with slow cleanup after activities

in the Day Hop in Dougherty Hall.

Gies also said that most special

events are held in the ConnellyCenter, but Buchanan was not

aware of this during hisevaluation.

The report also felt "a need to

make the dining room and service

area less institutional, i.e. warm,homey, less noisy (carpet, wall

and ceiling materials, division

into smaller dining areas), moodand a place to spend sqme time.

A facility with ambience will havegreater student food acceptance."

Gies responded that carpeting

in the dining halls is not a goodidea considering the, amount of

people it serves. Also creating

smaller areas would require par-

tioning, which Gies pointed outwould take away seating capacity,

something which the cafeteria

could not afford to lose.

Budget figures disclosedTmtifm may increaseJO percent

By JENNIFER REIDYAssistant News Editor

The preliminary budget for the1988-89^ academic year contains a

^ proposal to increase current tui-

tion rates an average of 10 percent,

said Edward V. Murray, assistant

to the president and member of

the University Senate budgetcommittee, this week.John B. Lewis, student senator

and member of the budget com-mittee, said that he was "shockedand outraged" by the proposal,

which would increase tuition 10percent for the second consecutiveyear.

The increase in tuition wouldbe accompanied by an eight per-

cent increase in faculty salaries

and entitlements, as well as a six

percent increase in staff salaries,

according to Murray.Murray advocated that the

additional funding to facultymembers "not be made across-the-

board so as to promote mediocrity.

We want to encourage outstand-ing performance and thus rewardthose individuals based on merit."Murray added that an increase

of up to 4 percent should beexpected in room and boardpayments.

Although the budget committeehas submitted these preliminaryfigures to the public, it will still

continue to examine and redefine

its proposals over the next fewweeks, he explained. The commit-tee must prepare a finalized
