A Blizzard at Colby

Visiting students take all the gloiy at theBlizzf if d of Bucks > t ontest on Monday

by Wendy DauphinaisA blizzard struck Colby Monday,

but it wasn't snow that excited thestudents, it was money! An eightfoot plastic dome resembling a belljar sat in the Student Centerthroughout the day, blowing aroundhundreds of dollar bills inside thedome and luring the students to signup for the Blizzard of Bucks contest,

Despite exams this week,approximately 75 students gatheredin the Commons room Mondaynight hoping to make lots of money.Shortly after 8:00 pm, the musicchosen as the game theme songblasted from the speakers on theStudent Center stage. "I've got thebrains, you've got the looks, let'smake lots of money."

Paul Adams, "the wizard of theblizzard," and Nona Yost bothf rom Cincinatti Ohio, entered thestage dazzling in their formal attire.Three groups of four contestantswere selected by a random drawingthroughout the show to compete forthe chance to battle with the Blizzardof Bucks Machine.1

Each of the three groups werebrought on stage separately tocompete in wacky games such assquirting the flames of a candle witha water bottle, running across thestage with balloons between then-legs, sucking orange juice out of ababy bottle, and even bouncing ncriballs onto the stage in an attempt tocatch three in the rim of a mexicanhat on their head. When the contestswere close, the "wizzard of blizzard"

relied on faithful Colby judges,Dean Mark Serdjenian, PatsyStearns and Kim Lidstone, from theRegistrars Office.

The person who finished last ateach game was given a Blizzard ofBucks t-shirt and escorted off thestage until one person was left Thewinner of each round was given $25in cash, a t-shrit and the chance tocompete in the semi-finals.

John Pierce, Mike Foraasiero andDoug Hall, the winners of the threerounds were ready to compete forthe finals. Their task seemed easy atfirst, simply stack 21 buildingblocks. However the clincher wasthat they had to wear mittens. .

After several unsuccessfu lattempts, John and Doug'schildhood days of stacking building

"Campus Sex: New Fears," readthe headlines of an October 1985issue of Newsweek. Aids and itsvictims served as the campus jesters ,Newsweek quoted WashingtonUniversity junior, Phil Edeling assaying, "You don't get sick if youdon't get sacked." Edeling insistedhe practiced celibacy as a preventionmethod. Another issue quoted PatricJ. Buchanan, in 1983, now a WhiteHouse staffer as saying, "The poorhomosexuals; they have declaredwar on nature and now nature isexacting an awful retribution."

However, current statistics showthat 4 of every 10 victims of AIDS(Acquired Immune DeficiencySyndrom) contract the diseasethrough heterosexual activities. Itsvictims, often blameless, bare aresemblance to the Biblical leper.They've become society's pariahs.The Health Advisory Committee atColby strives to dispel such mythsand fear about AIDS. Finalized lastMay by the Health AdvisoryCommittee and approved recently bythe Board of Trustees, Colby'spolicy on applicants, students, andemployees with AIDS or ARC(AIDS-Related Complex) is asfollows:

on a case by case basis. As with anyother personal medical problem,every effort will be made to protectthe privacy of individuals infectedwith the virus and the confidentialityof this diagnosis.

The protection of privacy withinthis policy poses a delicate andcontroversial issue. Several studentsand their parents argue that collegueshave a right to know if the personsitting next to them in class orsharing bathroom facilities within adorm is a carrier of this lifethreatening disease.

"No!" said Health Associate AnnNorsworthy; she strongly defendsconfidentiality. "AIDS cases arereported to a State Public HealthAgency in strict confidentiality as wewould be (employees of Colby'sHealth Center). We'd treat it as anyother medical problem. ConfidentialFrom an ingrown toe nail to AIDS. ..a must." Norsworthy fears anoverblown reaction that wouldhinder or deter the education of boththe AIDS victim and the uninfectedstudents. Norsworthy also stated thano student at Colby has, as of yet.reported any symptoms.

Colby's Psychotherapist JanetIrgang strongly agrees withNorsworthy. Irgang has counseledstudents with chronic illnesses andwould treat those with AIDS orARC in the same manner. As forconfidentiality, she said, "There arecertainly other communicablediseases at Colby and we don'tpublish those. . .No one wouldcome to the Health Center if weQia' continued on page 3

PoU Reagan's Continuing Popularityby E.J. Dionne Jr.c. 1986 N.Y. Times News Service

President Reagan's continuingpopularity is not transferring directlyto Republican congressionalcandidates, but the political seachange toward the Republican Partythat Reagan set in motion in 1980 isclearly helping them in this fall'selections, The New YorkTimes-CBS News Poll has found.

A key factor in - how wellRepublican candidates are doing, thesurvey indicated, is that many morevoters think of themselves asRepublicans now than did four yearsago.

The result is a narrow leadnationally of 43 percent to 39percent for Democratic candidatesfor the House of Representatives.Such results, if they held up inNovember, would most likelyproduce only the smallest of shifts irthe current partisan division whenresults in the 435 separate Houseraces are totalled.

The last time the party in control ojthe White House gained seats in theHouse of Representatives in anoff-year election was 1934. Theaverage off-year loss by the party inpower in the last 100 years is 38seats and since World War II, 30. In19S2 the Republicans lost 26 seats.

In other survey findings,prospective voters are uncertainabout the future of the nation's

economy but they appear satisfiedwith its current performance. Some56 percent said the condition of thenational economy was fairly good,though only 3 percent called it verygood. Voters also gave positiveratings to their state economies andto their personal financial situation.

Still, a majority of those surveyedgave a negative rating to at least onelevel of the economy- national, stateor personal- indicating an unease thacould help Democrats in House andSenate races.

Overall, the survey offered aportrait of an electorate that has yetto take great interest in next month'svoting- 46 percent said they had notpaid much attention to the campaign,as against 38 percent who said thisat a comparable point in 1982.

A majority of those surveyed saidthey were deciding how to vote inHouse races on the. basis of acandidate's character or experience,or because of a state or local issue.Only a fifth said they were decidingon the basis of national issues.

The poll, conducted by telephonefrom September 28. through Oct 1,found that the Democratic margin itHouse preferences of 43 to 39percent changed to a Democraticedge of 47 to 44 percent whenundecided respondents were askedwhich way they leaned.

The preferences were even moreclosely split, 45 percent Democratic

to 44 percent Republican, in districtswhere both major parties havecandidates on the fall ballot.Respondents were asked if theyfavored "the Republican candidate oithe Democratic candidate in yourdistrict?" -candidates' names werenot used.

These findings were calculatedamong the "probable electorate," ameasure of the 1,062 registeredvoters interviewed that was weightedto reflect their likelihood of castingballots. The survey had a margin olsampling error of plus or minusthree percentage points. ,

Voters were also about evenly spliton whether they would like to seethe Democrats or Republicanscontrol the Senate, the centralbattleground of the 1986 election.Though a national survey cannot beused to measure the standings inindividual Senate races, the pollindicated that taken together, thestates that have Senate contestsclosely reflected the narrow divisionin the rest of the country.

Reagan 's personal popularityremains exceedingly high. Some 63percent of all 1,525 peopleinterviewed, registered or not, saidthey approved of the way he washandling his job, as against 27percent who disapproved.

But as Times-CBS News surveyshave found in the past, Reagan'soverall approval rating was

This You Call Morningby Russell Bakerc. 1986 N.Y. Times" News Service

In the beginning politicians ranagainst Red Russia. Soon allcandidates who were on Russia'sside were eliminated. We facedpolitical disaster: with nothing to runagainst, could anybody ever getelected again?

To avoid widespread vacancies inelective offices, politicians beganrunning against lack of zeal forrunning against Russia.

In this age victory went tocandidates who persuaded the worldthat they had run against Russiamore vigorously than their opponetshod.

As this became exceedinglyboring, people stopped voting enmasse. It seemed there might soonbe elections in which 99.5 percent olthe electorate didn't bother to vote.

Some people said, "So what?"

Russian elections were alwaysinterpreted as proof of their lack ofdemocracy, wasn't it obvious that a99.5 percent no-show by the U.S.electorate would prove thatAmerican democracy was theworld's best?

The issue became moot when anobscure California real-estate manproduced an idea that sent massesswarming to the polls. His idea:Instead of voting for candidates, letthe people vote for or against taxes.

In its first test the idea provedirresistible to the voters, most ofwhom, believe it or not, votedagainst taxes, rather than for them.Soon the idea leapfrogged across thecontinent. From California toMichigan to Massachusetts, votersfor the first time in years went to thepolls Jn rapture, who couldn't beenraptured, they asked exit pollsters,

by tlie chance to vote against taxes.?Political candidates had always

pretended to run against taxes, evenin the .glory days when the bigpayoff lay in running against RussiaFollowing their victories, though,they had usually found it wise toforget they had run against taxes.

Voters in those days, thoughloudly opposed to taxes, wereviolently opposed to losing thetax-financed boons whichgovernments bestowed upon thepublic , rich , poor andmiddle-income alike.

Now, though, observing theunmistakable joy among the votersturning out to undo the taxes thatkept government going, politicianskeen enough to believe their sensesentered a new age. That was whenpolitical candidates began runningagainst government

Suddenly government was the

biggest villain to serve politicianssince Red Russia's fangs lost theirnip. When tho slircwdcst politiciansannounced, "government is theenemy," the votes came in tidalwaves. Jimmy Carter becamepresident by running againstWashington.

"Washington, Shwashington!" oiwords to that effect, said the peopleoperating Ronald Reagan. "WhatAmerica must fear is not just sinistciold Washington - it is governmentitself that is America's enemy."

The ensuing Reagan landslidesproduced yet another curiouspolitical era. Despite havingenchanted the voters by runningagainst government, the Reagangroup promptly checked into sinistciold Washington and - that's right -became a government.,

How to Fool the Peopleby James Restonc.1986 N.Y. Times News ServiceWASHINGTON - Like most

members of the human race,government officials make mistakesoccasionally, but President Reaganhas mastered the art of no-faultpolitics. He just pretends mistakesnever happen.

He said recently that there wouldbe no deal to swap a Soviet spy foran innocent American reporter. Theehe cut the deal and said he didn't.The Russians blinked, he explained.

A couple of days later, TheWashington Post reported that onAug. 14 the president approved aplan by John M. Poindexter, hislatest national security adviser, toleak "disinformation" to the pressthat the Libyan dictator, MoammarGadKafi , was about to mountanother terrorist campaign and thatthe United States might have tobomb him again.

"One of the key elements," thethree-page Poindexter memorandumsaid, according to The Post, "is thait combines real and illusory events -through a disinformation program -with the basic goal of makingGadhafi think that there is highdegree of internal opposition to himwithin Libya, that his key trustedaides are disloyal, that the U.S. isabout to move against himmilitarily."

At a meeting in the White Housefamily theater last Thursdaymorning, the president kept apreviously scheduled date with afew newspaper columnists andmedia commentators to discuss hisforthcoming meeting withGorbachev in Iceland, and he wasasked about the Post story.

"I challenge the veracity of thatentire story that I read this morningwith great shock," the presidentsaid. Admiral Poindexter wouldn'tsay whether he had written thememo, and couldn't rememberwhether the Post's quotes wereaccurate, out ne denied that anybodywas trying to use or deceive thepress. Later the president said, "We

are not telling lies or doing any ofthese disinformation things." Thismay be added to his crisis ofcredibility.

In. the long story of presidentsusing the press as an instrument oftheir foreign policy, these may seemto be minor incidents.

But the irony is that the. Reaganadministration, which is supposed tcbe so clever at the arts ofpropaganda, was so clumsy andobvious.

All governments mislead the pressand the people to some extent,particularly when they're in trouble,but most of them are usually smartenough not to write three-pagememos on their calculated plans ofdeception. And some are even wiseenough to admit their mistakes ratheithan make them worse.

Reagan himself has from time totime pulled back when he was on awrong-way street. His withdrawalfrom Lebanon, and his reversals onnuclear arms control policy are casesin point. But lately, as in his SouthAfrican policy, he has been defyingthe Congress and is now in dangerof losing control of key elements olhis foreign and domestic policies.

Maybe this was bound to happen.He has come to the end of anotherfiscal year, and although the magicof his personality remains, hispolicies are not matching hispromises.

It is now coming out that after onljsix months in office he was told thaihis budget cuts wouldn t match histax cuts and that his administrationwas moving decisively away fromits promise to balance the budget.The disinformation techniques wereat work even then.

Total government employment hasnot come down but has increasedfrom 4,966,000 in fiscal '81 to5,210,000 in fiscal '86. Federalexpenditures likewise have increasedfrom $590.0 billion to $979.9billion. And though inflation hascome down, almost everything elsehas gone up.

The federal debt during hisadministration had coubled by 1985and has now crossed the $2 trillionmark; Net interest on the debt hasalmost tripled, the trade deficit isnow four times larger than it waswhen he came into office, and forthe first time since 1959 tlie UnitedStates is now a net importer of food.

As a result, the political dialogue ischanging. Sen. Daniel PatrickMoynihan of New York, forexample , remarked on theseeconomic figures the other day:

"Now this sort of thing happensall the time in government. Honestmistakes arc made; wishes don'tcome true. But generally speaking,the integrity of the process ispreserved."

"Not so this time. Ideologycorrupted. Rather than give up itsbeliefs, the administration sacrificedits integrity."

The president's popularity with thepeople remains. Tlie people like himbecause they arc like him: hopeful,amiable and more interested inpersonality than in the facts, '

Since 1980, $3 million has beendivested in companies appearing onthe list. In the last two years,however, the list has grown quickly,now including the names of 100non-conforming corporations.Hopefully, the increase will providean impetus for the remaining sixmillion to be divested in these lastseven months before the Maydeadline.

In their 1985 resolution, the Boardcited only two instances whichwould prevent complete divestiturefrom occuring next spring. The firstwould be noticable progress in thedismantling of apartheid, whichwould include an initiation of talksbetween black and white leaders foithe purpose of giving the blackmajority legitimate representation.Three minimum indicators of howMs progress would be apparent arelisted in the resolution. The secondta that complete divestiture willoccur only "In a manner consistentwith the protection of Colby'sPortfolio'assets".

Thomas Tietenbcrg, chairman of1110 Investment Advisory Committee,explains that Colby will not divest atUwt time if stocks are artificiallylow, but will instead wait until they

•AIDSGuidelines concerning the

handling of confidential medicalinformation about students withAIDS state that no specificinformation concerning complaintsor diagnosis be provided to faculty,administrators or even parents. Thesame standards apply for employeesat Colby with AIDS or ARC,

Norsworthy has implementedprograms of education at Colbywhich emphasize that even though aperson may be asymptomatic, thosewith confirmed positive HTLV-IIIantibody tests may transmit infectiorto others through anal or vaginalsexual intercourse, the sharing ofneedles and possibly through oralgenital contact or intimate kissing.

However, the Public HealthService stressed that the virus is nottransmitted from infected person touninfected person through casualcontact. There is no risk created byliving in the same dorm, attendingclasses and sharing study facilitieswith an infected person; eating foodprepared by an infected person;being coughed or sneezed upon;casual kissing or swimming in apool with an infected person. Thedisease is seldom found in saliva butdeep kissing (with heavy exchangeof saliva) is not recommended. Atpresent there is no cure for AIDS

and the efficiency of condoms inpreventing infection is unproven.The policy at Colby also warns thattoothbrushes, razors and otherimpliments that may be contaminate,with blood should not be shared.

When seeking medical, dental oreye care, persons with a positiveantibody status" should advise thepractitioner for precautionaryreasons. This raises an issue ofmoral responsibility at the cost ofgreat embarrassment and oftenforfeiture of confidentiality.TO WHOM IS THE VICTIM

RESPONSIBLE TO TELL?The policy indicated that victims ol

AIDS do not have a responsibility tcreport their physical condition to theadmissions department whenapplying to Colby nor to any studentor faculty member.

A survey of 325 studentsconducted at New York Universityindicated that most felt that victimsshould not be denied admission butdidn't want to share living quarters.According to Dr. Ebbin, director ofUSC's student Health Center, somegood has come of the dramatic andinflated scare about AIDS. Studentsare less willing to have casual sexualencounters than they were 4 yearsago and can be credited for thedecline in cases of gonorrhea and

venereal waits among USC's gaymen.

Again, skeptism of a victim'sresponsibility or ability to vocalizehis condition arises; Ebbin asked,"When do they tell their partner thaithey are a carrier? Over the firstlunch? Or at the time of intimacy?"Again let it be stressed that AIDSeff ects heterosexuals as well asgays. However, there have not beenany cases of AIDS reported bylesbians. The uneducated havewrongly used AIDS as a weapon inwar against gays.

No one has ever recovered fromthe disease and the cases doubleevery year. The mortality rate is50%. The present theory claims thaiAIDS spread from Africa to theCarribean and was picked up byAmerican homosexuals who foundHaiti and attractive refuge. Monkeyswere its probable host. Some seeAIDS as a punishment for pervertedsins. However, it infects bloodrecipients, heterosexuals and otherblameless people.

Ethical guidance is needed atColby. The public needs to stopmaking pariahs of AIDS victims andto recognize the right of all studentsto an equal and undiscriminatingeducation.Part one of a tooyart series

Bof GThe Board of Governors meeting

on Thursday, October 9, covered awide range of issues. First, it wasdecided that many of the disciplinaryprocedures recently proposed by theDepartment of Safety and Security,in conjunction with the Dean ofStudents Office, must be clarifiedbefore we can make furthercomments on them. Theseproposals, which contain no newrules or regulations, arestandardizations of currentsanctions.

Second, the Board of Governorsapproved the Student AffairsCommittee's decision to recommendthe removal of the Mid-Week PartyRule. This decision, which isawaiting the approval by the college,would "... allow mid-week socialfunctions in the Student Center forthe balance of the first semester1986-1987 with or without alcoholwith the following provisions:- a student must register the event

with John Farkas and DeanSeitzinger- BAR regulations and Colby

AlcoholEducation

by Betsy Kuller .The administration is making great

efforts to inform tlie collegecommunity about alcohol abuse.B.A.R. (Better AlcoholResponsibility) trains a group ofstudent educators to act as resourcesfor alcohol use. The group hasincreased in size and has had moremoney allocated to it because of theadministration's growing concernabout alcohol abuse on campus. Thegroup, led by co-presidents RobCloutier and Sara Dickeson, iscurrently in training and has severalinteresting projects in mind.

Already in circulation is an"Alternative Beverage Guide,"which gives creative and tasty ideasfor non-alcoholic beverages. B.A.R.will propose to the Board ofGovernors the ideas of "AlternateBeverages" in the Pub, peereducator T-shirts, Jitney publicity,Alcohol Awareness Week, hall

forums, and discussion sessions inthe Mary Low Coffeehouse. Theperspective freshman host programis even considering more stringenthost responsibility guidelinesregarding perspective freshmen'sexposure to alcohol during theirstays at Colby.

The peer education trainingconsists of information sessionsconcerning the effects of alcohol onthe body, the family, and the role ilplays in society as a whole. Mostimportantly, the alcohol educators gcthrough listening skills, in order toprepare them for campus situationswhere the peer educators can reallybe a help.

Another important alcoholeducation group is A.C.O.A., AdultChildren of Alcoholics, which meetsevery Monday at 7:30 in the chapel,led by Hank Wittenberg and M'LizHowand. The group aims to betterunderstand the problems ofalcoholism among family members.The group also provides support forchildren of alcoholic parents throughgroup discussions.

ATM MachinesDon't Drink Beer

by Wendy DauphlnaisA cup ot beer was dumped in the

envelope slot of the ATM machineSaturday night around 11:30 p.m..Colby Safety and Security received acall -_rom a student who entered themachine to make a transaction, andfound beer dripping out of thebottom of the machine. Thecomputerized screen said there hadbeen a malfunction.

Peter Chenevert, director of Safetyand Security,, said the whole incidentwas recorded on film by a camera inthe ATM machine that begins filmingas soon as someone enters the door.Chenevert went to the People'sHeritage Bank to view the film, buthe was unable to identify the studentor students, as Chenevert suggestedit may be more than one person. Thefilm also shows a few students whowere standing outside of the ATMroom at the time of the incidentDean of Students Janice Seitzingea

told the Echo that damages for thevandalism are estimated at $500 to$600.

the issue was heating up on campusand throughout the world is becausethey saw an opportunity to createmore of an impact on South Africanauthorities by acting as part of agroup, instead of individually. Byjoining a larger movement ofconcerned corporations which planto completely divest by May 1987,maximum pressure can be appliedfor significant reform. Once again,the act of binding together to create alarger protesting voice is moreimportant than the details of how ancwhen each of the members carriesthrough the objective.

On examination of South Africa'scurrent state of affairs, Colby's

. divestiture may be closer at handthan the dismantling of apartheid.Tietenbcrg points out that l)the stateof, emergency is still in effect,2)10,000 political prisoners are stillin jail, and 3) presently there is nodialogue concerning possible waysof sharing power. The situationcould of course change in three,months; but if his committee had tomake the decision now that they willhave to make in the spring, he wouldsay that the conditions under theSullivan Principles have not beenmet and that Colby should completedivestiture in South Africaimmediately.

For more information on Colby'sdivestiture, President Cotter's article"Black and White" in the March1986 issue of The Colby Alumnus isa good source. Also, ProfessorTietenberg can be found in theEconomics Department and is quitewilling to answer questions.

Diversity at Colbyby Priscilla Phinney

When I entered Colby as afreshman three years ago, the themeof the freshman book program was"Celebrating Diversity, ConfrontingIntolerance.". Since then much hasbeen said about Colby's desire toattract a diverse student , body,especially students from variedethnic, racial, and culturalbackgrounds to benefit the school a.a whole. Looking around campusthis fall, I haven't noticed muchmore diversity (if any) as a seniorthan I did as a freshman. Mysuspicions increased after reading anarticle which appeared in the firstissue of the ECHO this semesterabout the enthusiastic new class of1990. ". . . The mostly white, NewEngland student body is stillperpetuating the Colby stereotype."

The minority student body atColby is composed mainly ofstudents of black, Hispanic, nativeAmerican, Asian, or Pacific Islanderdescent. It also includes someforeign students coming fromcountries such as Ghana, India, orGuatemala who have permanentvisas and are at Colby for fouryears.

Dean Blackwell, our new Directoiof Intercultual Affairs , feels thatthere are not enough minoritystudents coming in as freshman.Percentagewise, not an alarmingnumber of minority students transfeior drop out of Colby once they arehere. However, the number ofminority students who are here isalready so low (there are 51 thisyear) that it becomes a matter ofconcern when some of thesestudents do decide to leave.

When asked why a minoritystudent would decide to come toColby, Dean Blackwell replied thatthey would look for primarily thesame qualities in a school that allstudents look for: a fine academicprogram , how the collegedistinguishes itself from otherschools, the affordability of theschool, and whether or not theschool would make them feel like a

SOBHU's general purpose is tomaintain cultural identity amongblack and hispanic students, as wellas to enhance cultural awareness, tcincrease the degree of diversity, anddisplay a black and hispanicpresence on the Colby Collegecampus.

The small number of minoritystudents at Colby appears to beviewed as a problem that can be dealwith and improved upon by thisyear's S.O.B.H.U. group and ournew Director of Cultural Affairs.Despite the difficulties in adjusting tcColby during the first few weeks ofschool, freshman Eddie Hughes hasa positive attitude. Although he haddoubts at first about whether hewquW play here for all four ucars, henow thinks he "probably will". DeanBlackwell also said he Is enjoyingColby and Is enthusiastic about his

future here. I am confident we 11accomplish some positive things tocreate a greater diversity oncampus."

welcome member of the community.It is this last factor, that of feeling

like a member of the community,that a minority student applying to apredominantly white school musttake into special consideration. DeanBlackwell spoke of a desired "critica!mass", meaning the number ofminority students needed to bepresent at Colby in order to relievestudents of dealing with the pressureof their "minorityness". Thenumber of minority students atColby has been fairly stable for thepast five or six years. However, inorder to reach the critical mass, thereneeds to be a steady increase over aperiod of time. Hiring more minorityfaculty members, administration,and staff would also help thisproblem-

One distinct problem that arisesfrom failure to attain a critical massis that it causes feelings of "beingtoo visible, of standing out," DeanBlackwell said. Freshman EddieHughes said "it was difficultadjusting to. being in the extrememinority" during his first few weeksat Colby, coming from a highschoolin the Bronx where he had alwaysbeen in the majority. Although hehas "had no trouble with anystudents," he said he sometimesfeels out of place, "for example at th<student center parties." He wouldlike to see more, minority students atColby, to bring more diversity to thesocial and cultural life.

Eddie is a member ofS.O.B.H.U., which is the "StudentOrganization for Black and HispanicUnity", with Irene Izquirerdo,Majestcr Stewart, and LaWandaMarshall, serving as tri-Prcsidentsthis year. At their first meeting twoweeks ago, S.O.B.H.U. membersdiscussed how they could attractmore minority students to Colby.They concluded that it was importanito start with the minority studentsalready here on campus to makeColby a more attractive place forminorities. Also, increasing theinteraction of Colby's minoritystudents with one another bykeeping the SOBHU group activewill be an important goal.

Semester inLondon

by Jod ie Caruolo(This is the f irst of a four-part series on

the Freshman. Abroad program. Futurearticles will feature Colby inCuernavaca JDijonjmd Germany)

This fall, Colby instituted aprogram allowing first semesterfreshman to travel to London,England instead of spending theirfirst semester .in Maine. Theprogram is geared towards Britishdrama and offers ample opportunityto experience the performing artsfirst hand. Professor HowardKoonce, director of the Colby inLondon program, is both pleasedand excited about the new program-While similar programs are offered

to upperclassmen, .the mainemphasis is placed on freshmen thissemester. Seven members of theclass of 1990 and oneupperclassman are now studyingEnglish and the performing arts atRegents College in London. The tripfills all freshman Englishrequirements and offers additionalcourses in English and performingarts to its participants. One of themost interesting facets of theprogram is the faculty. A staff ofBritish writers, actors, directors,designers and voice instructors areinvolved in Colby's program,allowing for a professionalatmosphere.The students now involved in the

program are required to take acourse in dramatical text and aperforming arts acting course.Attendance of many modem Britis-iplays right in London is alsomandatory. But the Colby programin London is not just work. Studentshave weekends that are virtually freean opportunity to join the StudentUnion of the University of Londonand have total access to the city ofLondon itself. The students live inRegents park at Regents College in sdorm building complete with kitchenunits and appartment-typearrangements. The dorm is occupiedlargely by American studentsparticipating in similar programsthrough other American colleges.Colby's program in London is not

only limited to those students whoare extremely affluent Financial aidis available to those who are in needof it. The cost of traveling to andstaying at Regents College for thesemester is equal to spending the

semester at Colby. Meal plans andphone services are also available tomake the students' stay overseasmore comfortable. The Colbyfreshmen in London program,though fairly new, is an organizedand great program opening doors forthose Colby students interested in oiattracted to theater, English andvisiting the city of London.

When asked what heplanned to do with the money, Johnsaid, "I am going to spend it on mygirlfriend,"

Doug was also offered a chance tcbattle with the blizzard for 15seconds, if he was willing to give up

the $25 he had won in his round.Without a moment of hesitation,Doug relinquished the $25 and wasclimbing into the machine. Within Ifseconds, Doug had more thandoubled his prize money bygathering $56.

In an interview after the show,The Echo asked Adams how andwhy he started working in the gameshow. Adams said he was aprofessional actor, hired by theKramer Agency Inc. of Michigan tcM.C. the show. "I am opposed tohard labor, so I thought I'd go intoshow business," joked Adams.

Actually the job involves traveling9 months per year to differentcolleges, driving on the average, 1Chours a night. Paul and Nona havebeen working with the Blizzard ofBucks for'one year and two months,and since last Jaanuary they havegiven away over $40,000.

significantly higher than approval foihis handling of either foreign affairsor economic policy.

If Reagan is not transferring all olhis popularity to Republicans, hishigh standing is still central to whyhis party is doing so well atmid-term. The striking contrast is tcthe 1982 mid-term elections, whenunemployment exceeded 10 percentand approval of Reagan 'sperformance fell to 42 percent at thispoint in the campaign.

Unhappiness with Reagan wasreflected in voting preferences forthe House of Representatives.According to a Times-CBS Newssurvey in September 1982,Democrats led in House races by amargin of 48 percent to 34 percent

But the president's importance tothe Republicans appears to transcendshort-term voting intentions: asignificant shift in partyidentification has taken place since

Reagan entered the White House.In 1982, Republican House

candidates were favored by aboutthree-fourths of those who identifiedthemselves as Republicans;Democratic candidates won acomparable share from those whocalled themselves Democrats.

These figures are almost identicalin the current survey. The differenceis that in 1986, there are moreRepublicans- one indication that tosome degree, at least , a"realignment" of the electoratetoward Reagan's party has takenplace.

In September 1982, 55 percent olthose surveyed identified themselvesas Democrats or as independentswho leaned toward the Democraticparty; only 38 percent said they wereRepublicans or Republican-leaningindependents. In the current survey,the comaparable, figures are muchcloser: 49 percent call themselvesDemocrats or lean toward the party,to 44 percent for the Republicans.

White Southerners, one keycomponent of the old New DealDemocratic coalition that has beenmoving toward the Republicans, arecontinuing their journey.

Overall, Southern whites said theybacked or were leaning toRepublican candidates for the Houseby a margin of 56 to 37 percent.Among Southern white men, themargin was even higher- 61 to 28percent Republican. More than athird of these pro-Republican voters,however, live in districts wherethere is no two-party contest thisyear.

The survey supported the view oimany politicians that this white flighlfrom the Democrats in the Southresults in part from a reaction to theparty's stands in favor of civil rightsfor blacks.

When the probable electorate wasasked if "the Democratic Party paystoo much attention to blacks" or not,some 15 percent nationwide said itdid. But among white Southerners,

the figure rose to 25 percentCatholics,- another key swing

group, were supporting or leaningtoward Democratic Housecandidates by a margin of 52 percemto 39 percent

The greatest prospect for theDemocrats this fall- and the greatestthreat to the Republicans- is theeconomic issue, the survey found.

Democrats did especially wellamong the 35 percent of thosesurveyed who listed an economicproblem , part icular lyunemployment, as the mostimportant facing the country.

Moreover, the survey found thecountry less optimistic about thefuture than it was two years ago.Those surveyed in October 1984 andthose in the current survey wereasked: "If things continue the waythey are going now, do you think th«future of the next generation ofAmericans will be a good one, orwill it be bogged down by too manyproblems left behind for them?"

In October 1984, 44 percent:looked positively toward future,while 45 percent gave the morepessimistic response. In the currentsurvey, only 32 percent wereoptimistic about the future, with 62percent seeing it as problematic. Themore pessimistic group is supportingDemocrats for the House this yearby a margin of about 5-to-3.

Another central corollary to theDemocrats' campaign on theeconomy has been the contention thamany states are iri recession- 31 ofthem according to the NationalGovernors' Association- despitemore favorable national economicnews.

The survey offered a mixed verdicion the Democrats' effort to blameReagan for this. By a margin of 3 to1, voters said they held theirgovernor, not the president,responsible for their state'seconomic situation. But the surveyalso found that voters were morelikely to credit governors with goodtimes than to blame them for badones.

Finally, although voters haveshown little interest in foreign policythis year, the survey found that thosewho do were more likely to favor theRepublicans. The 27 percent wholisted a foreign or military issue orterrorism as the nation's mostimportant problem favoredRepublican candidates for the Houseby a margin of about 5 to 4.

These broader issues may, in theend, have a limited impact oncongressional voting. Some 41percent of those surveyed said that acandidate's character and experiencewas the most important factor intheir choice; an additional 23 percentsaid state and local issues made thebiggest difference to them. Only 20percent said national issues weremost important

And as has nearly always been truein House races, incumbents are at amajor advantage. In districts withDemocratic incumbents, the probableelectorate prefers Democrats 52 to 3percent; in districts with Republicanincumbents, Republicans are wellahead, 46 percent to 31 percent.

The Rest of the Storyby Scott A. Lamer

I've never been what one mightcall a "party animal". In fact, I'vealways been rather partial to theproverbial "geek" way of life. Ofcourse I must admit that there aretimes when I'd like to let my hairdown and have a beer with the "ol'alma mater gang." But more oftenthan not, I must content myself witha simple dance or two, and perhaps^ome light conversation: "So, ya likethe. new Student Center?...(noresponse)...Yeah, me too...(longpause)...So, ya got a major?...Areyou enjoying your Freshman year scfar?... How 'bout them Sox? I usedto play, you know." .

Anyway - the impromptu StudentCenter "gig" by Dick Dingle and theBerries et al last Saturday night gotme to thinkin' about the state oithings during this third year of theCommons System. Now Lordknows, I ain't gonna knock theCommons System. There were toomany letters these last two years(and no doubt more will follow)attacking what we had never reallybeen willing to give a chance. RatheiI would like to berate, ever soslightly, the seeming curfew that has

crept into our weekend lives atColby.

The practice session of Dingle andcompany went as planned ¦_ but at thtstroke of twelve, two other bandswho were hoping to play were toldthat they could not, because theCenter was not signed out So it wasmidnight...on a Saturdaynight...after various midterms...andthe Prince's Ball had ended.

Yet it was hardly a surprising turrjof events (or, more accurately,turning off of events). Ever since thetransition form frat to mosaic, itseems that the "powers that be"(composed of student andAdministration members alike) haveclamped down in expectation ofsome student organized retribution -not a wholly unreasonable worry, Iguess. In the process of turningattention from the unruly frats to thecomparatively peaceful dorms,however, it seems that a certaindegree of trust is now missing.

There is. surely reason not to trust -exemplified dishearteningly well bysomeone who poured a drink intothe bank teller machine during theBerries' gig. But one would think

Off the CuffColby Desserts

by Jim SullivanFreshman eat the pudding. But

then - they learn. The pudding cupswhich adorn the shelves in the lunchand dinner lines are venerable Colbyfixtures - just like the Miller Library- but nobody eats the Miller Library.

Another analogy (and I make thisfor those freshmen who have yet tcdiscern) which may pin the pointmore clearly is this: "Children are tcbe seen and not heard. The puddingis to be seen and not eaten."The reason I'm harping on the

Seller's pudding is because I'venever seen anyone eating it(excepting those freshmen, ofcourse). Day after day it gracefullybedecks the glass shelves hoping tcbe eaten, but no one ever touches it

The pudding cups are beautiful tolook at as they squat, poised, inpastel colors. I'm sure that theirpresence aims to stimulate aestheticcontemplation and appreciation ofthe "food arts" Though they provokedesire, to taste is to suck mud.

Now I've been unfairly picking onthe pudding because there is jello onthe shelves too. Everyone likes jello,and if your mother ever makes it athome, it's devoured pronto. No oneever reacts that way with Sellersjello. The jello is almost as attractiveas the pudding, pastel colors and thewhole biti but it too has beensquatting since the days of ElijahParish Lovejoy. There is a goodreason for this. Everyone is afraid tc

Wake Me When It's OverLibrar y Sleep: It's a Gas

by Greg DumarkI have had close to ten hours of

sleep, three cups of coffee and ano-doze, but after walking throughthose doors I am already feeling alittle light headed. What 'shappening? My knees begin toweaken, my legs get heavier by themoment and I am slurring mywords. I try to fight it, but the forcesare overwhelming. As I walk downthe stairs into the basement, I realizethat I am not alone. There is aperson holding my hand, asking meto slowly count down from ten, andas I get lower and lower, I begin tofade into a deep sleep. It's too latenow, I cannot pull out of thedownward spiral, I have entered thesleeping zone.The doors are not those of

Mid-Maine Medical center but MilleiLibrary. The incident took place lastweek, and little by little, it all comespainfully back to me.

Falling asleep was all too easy, butwaking up presented a far different

picture. With book in hand I slowlyopened my eyes; I am lost,bewildered and most importantlyembarassed. I have fallen asleepmany times, but this time the worstof all things has happened. I haveseen it happen to others, but I neveithought it would happen to me. Icould have fallen asleep in a chair ira dark comer, but I didn't. Instead 1had to fall asleep at a brightly lit, andhightly visible study table.Immediately I knew something hadgone wrong, the two people thatwere at the table before I lostconsciousness, were now gone.

There were a lot of questions.Where did the other two go and whydid they leave? Did I snore? No, it'snot likely. Did I talk in my sleep?No, I usually don't do that Oh myGod, I didn't! I look around andthen I casually glance toward thetable. I did it, I have committed tlieultimate sin. 1 have drooled.As I began to discretely mop it up

with my half written paper, I startedto wonder what it is about theLibrary that causes thisphenomenon. Many ideas crossedmy mind. It could have been thedread of doing work, but dreadingsomething usually doesn't make youtired. Some have said it's those easychairs, claiming; "sit in one of thoseand you're out cold." There is a lotof truth to this theory, but I don'tthink it is the source of the problem.Others have suggested that it is thecolor scheme in the Library. True,those soft pastels are soothing, butthen again Miami Vice is alwaysfilmed in pastel settings and I neverfall asleep watching it. While allthese things contribute to thesleeping phenomenon of theLibrary, none seem to be at the heartof the problem.

Then, while walking aroundPhysical Plant the other day, Ioverheard a conversation that heldthe key to the mystery. One workerwas saying to another "What do youthink, should we turn up the gas inthe Library this afternoon andtonight?" To this the other workerreplied; "Yea, but not too high,remember what happened lastSunday, kids couldn't even get totheir chairs before they fell asleep.We had them dropping like flies."The conversation ended with the firstworker answering; "Your right, I'llgive em just enough gas to fallasleep for about fifteen minutes orso." Bingo! It wasn't the chairs orthe colors, but sleeping gascirculating through the central airsystem.

My mind is at ease now that Iknow the secret behind the sleepingphenomenon of the Library.Thoughts of illness or an inability tostudy have been erased. It's not mebut the "gas". And so the next timeyou go to the Library and feel tired,don't fight it. Don't sit at a table andsay to yourself "I'm not going to fallasleep." You too could be the victimof an uncontrollable drool. Insteadfind a nice comfortable seat in a darkcorner and breath deep. Don 'tworry, you'll be awake in aboutfifteen minutes, give or take a few.

Pat Robertson- Stakes Are HighMarkets & Policies

by Robert Macdonald

The recent materialization of PatRobertson as a presidential hopeful(he doesn't have a prayer, to use theterm loosely) presents some farreaching and potentially adverseimplications for a growing andincreasingly centrist RepublicanParty. The legitimate fear thatRobertson's right wins and religiousintransigence will frighten away a lolof the young professionals whohave recently been attracted toRonald Reagan and the RepublicanParty, must be causing a lot ofcheering in the Democratic camp. Icertainly must admit that I was oneof those who watched Jesse Jacksonwith excited anticipation as he helpeddivide the Democratic Party withextremist rhetoric and negativecampaigning. The fact thatRobertson represents an extreme,

yet very important section of theRepublican Party, makes it doublydangerous for the Republicans.There are about twenty millionevangelists in the U.S. today, manyof whom helped provide the moneyand ground troops that put Reaganin office. Building a coalition ofcentrist progressive (less social-issueorientated) Republicans with theintransient religious right is a toughcoalition to build. Reagan (who inmy mind will go down in history asconsumately pragmatic and lessideologically motivated) built such acoalition out of his own personalappeal and the misperceptions of hissupporters. He was all things to allthese groups. Yet he really neverflexed his politiacl muscle the wayhe could have on abortion, schoolprayer, and other social issues.

Robertson himself does not appealto be the frightening man that I have

thus far written atJout. Indeed, onthe contrary he is attractive,well-spoken, well-educated and hasan extremely warm and caringmanner. Aside from his religiousassuations and his politicalinexperience, he embodies many ofthe qualities most of us would like inour president. His credentials areimpressive. He was Phi Beta Kappaat Washington and Lee, did a year oigraduate work at the University of

' London, received a law degree fromYale, and toured Korea with themarines during the Korean conflict.

In his mid-twenties he foundChrist and went to study the ministqat New York Theological Seminary.Soon thereafter he acquired a UHFstation in Portsmouth, Virginia.Today that UHF station has growninto either the second or fifth(depending on what is counted)largest cable network in America. It

Two years ago when Coach Aitkerarrived at Colby, the team had placeceighth at the 1984 NESCAC's. Inher first year she brought the teamup to second place and in this year -her second - the women's teamwon. Colby College is looking at afuture of a winning womens crosscountry team.

by Ken BarberSaturday afternoon , October 10,

on a hilly, windwhipped course theMen's Cross Country team finishedsecond .losing to Bates, in the NewEngland Small College AthleticConference Championships.

Junior Bill Derry finished thestrenuous five mile course first forColby and third overall, with a timeof 26:10, thus earning himself awell deserved place on the allNESCAC team, comprised of thetop seven finishers of the race. Derrjwas followed by Senior MarkPagnano, Sophomore Tim Fischer,Senior Phil Thonton and SeniorHans Hagen , Freshman OleAmundsen and Senior Mike Misnerin places 8, 14, 16, 20, 22, and 28respectively.

Colby has fared well thus far dueto a larger than usual team with agood deal of depth. The entire teamFinished within the top 30 positionsin a race of over 70 runners. Closegrouping such as this has been a keyfactor in all races this season.

Saturday's strong performanceshould be seen as a definite reasonfor optimism. Colby was beatenonly by an exceptionally strong,nationally ranked Bates squad.Amherst, Tufts and Williamsfinished behind the two Maineteams, but didn't pose seriousthreats. The Men's team will run theBates course again October 25 in theMaine invitational, where they willface the Bates squad for a secondtime. - . ' '

Football Almost Catches#1 in New England

by Christopher Watt "Amherst 14, Colby 7. Chalk up

another loss to the "hapless" Mulefootball team, you say. But read on.The Amherst Lord Jeffs are thenumber one ranked team in NewEngland. But how did our seemingl)"lowly" team manage to come thisclose to beating a team of such highcaliber, you ask? Ability. Desire.Teamwork. Respectability!

After breaking an 11- game losingstreak the previous week against theUniversity of Lowell, the Mulegridmen were hungry for more. Addto that an embarrassing 48-0 1985defeat at the hands of Amherst, andyou have all the makings of a veryinteresting football game.

The contest started slowly, withneither team scoring in the firstquarter. The Lord Jeffs managed tobreak into the scoring period in thesecond quarter, however, withquarterback Paul Foye hitting MikeTate with a 12-yard scoring pass.Kevin Kinne booted the PAT andAmherst was ahead 7-0. The twoteams were unable to get anythinggoing for the rest of the 2nd quarter,and the score remained 7-0 athalftime.

The 3rd stanza was a mirror imageof the 2nd. The Lord Jeffs put

togehter a solid 90-yard scoringdrive, which culminated in halfbackPaul Okun's 4-yard scoring plunge.Kinne added the kick once again,and the Amherst lead climbed to 14.

The fourth quarter opened with th-ie thargic Mule offense finallykicking into gear. After recovering afumble on the Amherst 42, ColbyQB Chip Kispert went to work. Heengineered a quick 5-play scoringdrive, ending with a 25-yard scoringtoss to junior tight end JohnMcNinch. Junior John Hamlin splitthe uprights for the extra point, andthe Amherst lead was cut to 7.

But the Mules weren't done yetWith 1:23 left on the clock, theyreceived the ball on their own 31after an Amherst punt. Kisplertpreceded to do a superb job ofexecuting the 2-minute offense. Hehit junior flanker Jamie Arsenault foian 11 yard gain. Next it wassophomore tailback Tony Ekstromfor 12 and then McNinch for 6 more. After a time out, Kispert connectedwilh Arsenault for another 13 yardsand then kept it for an additional 6.On 3rd and 4 (incomplete pass onsecond down), Kispert picked up 12yards on another keeper, makirig itfirst and goal from the 8. On firstdown, a pass to McNinch was

incomplete. And then came theheartbreaker. Amherst linebackerJeff Spadafora picked off a Kispertpass intended for Arsenault in theend zone with 13 secondsre____ining, sealing the Mules' fate.

"In terms of effort andenthusiasm, we couldn't have askedfor anything more", stated an upbealhead coach Tom Austin. "We hadthe opportunity to win, but technicalerrors cost us once again." Austinpraised the efforts of the Muledefense (3 goal line stands), andcited freshman linebacker Jon Gale,junior defensive back Dave Wilsonand senior defensive tackle John deRham (20, 12 and 9 combinedtackles, respectively) for their greatindividual efforts.

On offense, Austin singled outEkstrom (Rushing: 14 carries, 52yards; Receivings catches, 33yards): for his fine performance.The squad travels to Middlebury,VT this weekend to take onNESCAC rival Middlebury College

and a female, were assaulted by aman as they were returning tocampus from a walk in town.Neither were injured , andBrunswick police are pessimisticabout finding the assailant Dean ofStudents Kenneth Lewallensaid,"'...I've been hearing moreincidents of harassment thissemester than the past two."

Field Hockey Drops 4thby Karen BuckleyThe Colby Women's field hockey

team lost a tough one to PlymouthState, 2-1, last Friday at home. Theloss brought the Mules record to3-4-1.

The Mules, lead by tri-captainsKaren Czuchry, Robin Blanchardand Melissa Brown, started out theseason with a 2-2 tie against theBates Bobcats and a 2-1 win overMIT. "We were very optimisticabout the team from the beginning, "said Browfl. According to Czuchry,"Wc really gutted it out in the Batesgame through two overtimes.Although we didn't walk away witha win, we felt we had the potentialfor a very successful season."

The Mules followed with threelosses in a row against UMF, Tufts,and USM. 'Those losses were a bittough on the teams' morale," saidBlanchard. She noted, however, thaithe team seemed able to bounce bockpretty well. Brown agreed, addingthat, "our attitude as a team seems tobe more positive this year than lastyear 10 that wc are able to go out

fighting even after a loss."The teams' determination was

rewarded by a 1-0 win over Gordonfollowed by a 4-0 victory over NewEngland College. According toCoach Dcbby Pluck, the wins weredue to "good effort by everyone. Wehad a more solid offensive circleplay and maintained possession ofthe ball. Overall, wc are makingfewer mistakes." Pluck added thatthe team has scored' more goals sofar this year than all of last season.

Although the Plymouth State losswas a disappointment, "it was anexcellent game," said Czuchry."Everyone was really thinking on th.fleld , and we were clicking as ateam." It was actually somewhat ofan ego booster for the team to havefared as they did against a teamranked ninth in the nation.

If the Mules maintain a .500overall record and beat Bowdoin,they have a chance at a spot in thestate tournament. The next game isSaturday at University of Maine atFarmington

Pond. Here three Colby squadsarmed with razor-sharp axes, rolledin with dawn's early light andoccupied the field. The competitionwas University of New Hampshire,University of New Brunswick,Macdonald College, University ofMaine at Orono, and Unity College.

The first event of the meet beganwith felling a tree with axes,'dragging it across a meadow with arope (twitching), and then rolling itwith logging hooks (peevees).Thereafter the log is pushed up on aplatform (scoot loading) and sawedinto short pieces. The clock, isstopped after these pieces are stackedas a pyramid. Captains Lucas FritzSchadl of the men's teams andKeary Hanan of the Debutante Teamwere outstanding at bringing downtheir respective trees; WoodchickAmy Rosen backed up Hanan whiledemonstrating the benefits of safetygear.

In the afternoon, the meetconsisted of individual events suchas dot-splitting, wood-tossing, andaxe-throwing. In the latter ,Sophomore Will Adorable Dixonamazed all by beating every otherman at the meet

The final heat of the day waschopping-splitting -firebuilding: themost feared events of all woodsmen.Some shining moments were SuziYer Hot Schumann's chopping,Kwasi Keel him Harry Abamkwah'ssplitting and the fire, skills of Cap'tAlex Camel Man Pugh and Rudy(short for Rudy Penzer) Penzer.Tragedy almost befell the men':,team when a bus chased CollinMiller, Joey Hough, and GeorgeHull to the strains of "Swing Low".

The team has received a shot ofadrenaline, not only from increasedmembership, but from the retutn offaculty advisor John Guttennina.Gimbel and coach Heidi SquidLanguis. Said Prof. Dale Skrein,"Colby is the only liberal arts collegethat has a year-round woodsmenteam although there is no forestryprogram. This means that all themembers come from all walks ofColby life, not just native countryboys." Indeed most of thewoodsmen are from metropolitanand suburban areas, and pastsawyers have roots in Ghana ,Kenya, West Germany, and France.Dean of the College, DouglasArchibald, summed it all up when hesaid/The College takes pride in itsathletics. Each team meanssomething to us. This most certainlyapplies to the woodsmen. . . "Iunderstand that the team iscommitted to the concept of sports,scholarship and persona ldeve lopmen t e x i s t i n gsimultaniously. For this you shouldbe complemented. You belong to agroup that you can be very proudof."

Others felt betrayed, especiallywhen people at the White House didgovernment things. Such things,they complained, were done byvipers at the Reagan bosom, finkswho were soft on government,oppressors who were preventing thepresident from following his naturalinclination to abolish thegovernment.

"Let Reagan be Reagan! theydemanded, but the White Housepeople who were authorized to wakethe president when somethingimportant happened refused to do sofor such a raucous message.

Doug raised his hand and asked theM.C., "What would you do if I wasdiabetic." There was a moment ofsilence, shocking even the wizard,but Doug quickly revealed that hewas only joking and the contestbegan.

Whip cream covered their facesand was in their hair, yet John andDoug didn't care, for they had bothdiscovered the bubble gum and nowthey were racing to blow the first

Result: By 1984, having beengovernment for four years, theReagan group could no longer runagainst government as the enemy ofthe people. Hoping to gloss overtheir embarassment, they said it was"morning in America."

The voters never bothered to ask,"Which morning? Saturday orMonday?" And no wonder. Theiralternative was Walter Mondale,who had astounded all humanity byrunning for taxes instead of against,thereby offering the people a futurewith 365 Monday mornings peryear.

Now it's election time again, andsomething to run against is needed,and.the papers report the candidatesare paying those fat TV fees forcommercials depicting themselves ascheapskates. In short, they arerunning against themselves. Abouttime, too.

• This You Gall Morningquestion therefore, in my mind, isnot whether we should have aseparation of church and politics, burather, do Robertson's beliefs andpositions conform with those ofmain stream America? In Americapeople from all walks of life (evenfrom the Lyndon Larouche crowds)are free to pursue political office.Certainly, the tax-exempt status ofreligious leaders must be watchedclosely as they become increasinglypolitically active. I certainly do notagree with Robertson's use of theFreedom Council (a Robertsongroup obstensibly committed tonon-partisan political organizing) toraise funds and mobilize evangelicalvoters for his joust with VicePresident Bush and Jack Kemp inthe Michigan GOP precinct-delegateelections last summer. Add to thisthe fact that tax exempt CBN hasfunneled more than three milliondollars into the Freedom Council'streasuries over the past twelvemonths and it becomes increasinglydifficult to separate Pat Robertsonfrom the Freedom Council.

What is so entirely interestingabout Pat Robertson is that hisreligion is the reason he will notwin. While I respect and support hisright to seek office and be politicallyinvolved, it is hard to imagine that anation founded on a separation ofchurch and state, will be able toaccept a man who calls himself aprophet: namely that he may wellincarnate the powers of the mirademaker: • I can hear the Democraticjokes; "Watch him close his eyes,extend his hands heavenward andsuddenly the . Federal deficitdisappears and the Sandinistas arethrown from power." Robertsonrebuked Hurricane Gloria; hereported cures for cancer and bonespurs, and he talks of Armageddonsoon. These are things thatmainstream America will find hardto swallow.

Still, the religious element that willhurt Robertson and the Republicanparty (indirectly) the -most is hisbelief that America is and should bea Christian nation. "How nice itwould be," Robertson has said "if althe editors of the major newspapers,and superintendents of the majorschool districts all had degrees fromCBN University." Well publicized!statements such as this will not domuch in attracting young Jews,Catholics, or blacks to the ranks ofhis campaign or the RepublicanParty . What scares me the mostabout the Robertson campaign is thaihe could stop or slow down thedevelopment of the Republican Partyinto the Party of mainstreamAmerica. During the past few yearsmany moderate and conservativeDemocratic leaders (William Lucasof Michiagan and Ed King ofMassachusetts) have joined theRepublican Party. Tlie New Rightand the Moral Majority have beenvery valuable to the RepublicanParty. Now they want a place, on alleast more influence, at the top.How the Republican leadership andparty react to this thrust for influencecould very well decide whether thenext president is a Republican or a

blocks finally paid off, and theywere on their way to begin the finalgame.

Nona brought two ice cream piesonto the stage and John and Doughad to search for a piece of wrappedbubble gum, using only theirmouths and faces. Once they pickedup the gum in their mouths, they

Democrat. Ultimately, PatRobertson will bring some delegatesto the GOP convention. What will htdo with them then? The same thingall non-contenders do. He will sellthem to the highest bidder, and loand behold the face of theRepublican Party could change asissues such as prayer in school,abortion, and pornography aresuddenly raised a lot higher on theagenda. Win or lose, visibleRobertson delegates at the 1988convention will give Robertson a lotof say over what the RepublicanParty stands for or at least what it isperceived to stand for. Doesn't thisscenario bring back memories ofhow Jesse Jackson also played thegame? I am convinced that theRobertson candidacy is only thebeginning of a long brewingideological conflict within theRepublican Party. I only hope thatthe Democrats are their usuallypolitically-inept selves and miss thisopportunity to divide theRepublicans.

One Acts a Triple Successby Laurie Kopf

Last weekend in Strider Theaterthe Performing Arts Departmentpresented three well-received one-aciplays, written by twentieth-centurywomen authors . These threeone-acts although all very different,revolved around the same theme: theplight individuals face when tryingto express their inner feelings to oneanother.

"The Apple in the Eye," written byMargaret Hollingsworth and directedby Eric Binnie, was the first of thethree successes. The play consistedof five characters; "Martin," playedby Franc-Eric Wieder, "Martin'sthinking voice," played by BillCastelli, "Gemma," played by DianeFusco, "Gemma's thinking voice,"played by Grethchen Fall andfinally, the announcer, a speakingrole played by Bill Hamilton.

The play took place in Martin andGemma's bedroom. The coupleremained in their bed for the mostpart of the play while their counterparts moved throughout the room.While the actual husband and wifecontinued with their normal Sundayroutine, (Martin entranced in Sundayafternon football , and Gemmaunsuccessfully attempting to solvethe crossword in the Sunday paper,)the two thinking voices expressedthe humdrum couple's innerfantasies.

Both Martin and Gemmafantasized that the other transformedinto a being who shares his/her samefeelings. In Martin's case, histhinking voice expressed, as acomputer scientist should, the needfor a more rational relationship,while Gemma's thinking voiceexpressed quite the opposite. Hervoice credited the analogy of themind being split into two halves likethat of a cleanly-cut apple. One halfrepresented the irrational side of heimind, that side which aspired to warea more spontaneous sexualrelationship with her husband.Gemma's sole wish was for Martinto consume this symbolic apple thusin swallowing, digest herknowledge and feelings. Thisfantasy finally becomes real whenthe couple's thinking voices jointhem and Gemma feeds Martin thissymbolic apple.

The play was very well-receivedby the audience. Gretchen Fall,who played the inner voice ofGemma should be praised for thisgreat reception. Although the otherplayers were also good, Gretchencarried the show. The input shebrought to her character allowed theaudience to feel and see Gemma'sfantasies and make the play asuccess.

The second one act, "The Risingof the Moon," written by .AugustaGregory and directed by Richard

Sewell, was equally successful.This play consisted of only a fourman cast; "A policeman," played byGeorge Hull, "another policeman,"played by Andrew Palmer, "thesergeant," played by Chris Swaffar,and "a ragged man," played by JohrBookis.

This play, set in Ireland, dealt withthe sergeant's inner struggle todecide whether he should, as anofficer of the Irish police force,arrest the ragged man or whether heshould ignore his responsibilities asan officer and allow the man hisfreedom. In the end his sense ofresponsibility and obligation lost tohis hidden sense of adventure, andhe lets the ragged man go.* In this play, although ChrisSwaffar and John Bookis havebigger roles, all four of the castmembers were equally convincingcharacters. They worked welltogether and did an excellent jobwith their Irish accents.

To save the best for last, the thirdplay , "Comings and Goings,"written by Megan Teiry and directedby CM. Wentzel, was the greatestof the three. The six actors, CoriBrackett, Mark Codson, MauraSmith-Daigle, Scott Johnson, EdieMcGill, and Matthew Moran wereincredible. The play dealt with aseries of transformations of characteithrough which different social andgender roles were explored, thefocus being on male-femalerelationships. The actors changedcharacter faster than fingers could besnapped, yet still the play flowedsmoothly from beginning to end,The actors further proved themselvesby performing different variations oithe play on each of the three nights.Each show the actors performed in adifferent order as well as completingdifferent transformations. This oneact provided an exciting conclusionto an excellent evening.

The weekend one acts could nothave gone better. Not only were allthree thoroughly enjoyed by theaudience, but they also left themwith a feeling of anticipation for thencxt Performing Arts presentation.

by Sean . CollinsThe week after mid-semester

break, Powder and Wig will put ora theatrical treat After at least twoyears of planning, the group hasdecided to do the broadway musicalPippin , directed by John Mauss.The play is about Charlemane'sson and his search for the meaningof life to consequentially givemeaning to his existence. Pippin isloaded with dancing and singing,

contributing to the play's fantasticalquality. The stars of the musical areDoug Chilson as narrator; BraadSpeilmah as Pippin; and JohnReynolds as Charlemane.

foet tiregory urr, auuior or tour major collections or poetry, wm reacfrom his work tonight, October 16th, at 8 pm in the Robinson Room ofthe library. While still an undergraduate, Orr published his first poems irThe Antioch Review and Transpacific, and was immediately hailed agenius by such poets as Robert Bly and Donald Hall. Qrr's early poemsare imagistic, elliptical, and full of wonder. They are intensely romanticand compressed. One example, from his first collection, Burning theEmpty Nests, is representative:

LOVE POEMA black biplane crashes through the windowof the luncheonette. The pilot climbs down,removing his leather hood.He hands me my grandmother's jade ring.No, it is two robin's eggs anda telephone number yours.

His more recent work both celebrates desire and the body and engagesmore of the social and political world. His new collection of poems, jusout from Wesleyan University Press, We Must Make a Kingdom Of It, i.«already impressing poets and reviewers alike. Gregory Orr teaches in thegraduate writing program at the University of Virginia, serves as poetryeditor of The Virginia Quarterly Review, and also teaches in the graduatewriting program at Warren Wilson College. He has been awardedfellowships by the National Endowment for the Arts and theGuggenheim Fellowship. Orr is the first poet to read in this year's ColbyVisiting Writers Series. The following Poem comes from Cur's latestcollection.

Solitary Confinement--aynesville, Alabama: 1965

, Even as the last bars clang shutand I start to rub the purple acheclubs left on shoulders, ribs,and shins, my mind is fashioningan invisible ladder, its rungsand lifts of escape.

They've taken the SNCC pamphletsbut let mc keep a bookof Keats - poems reminiscentof my sad, adolescent affairwith the coffin-maker's daughter,which taught mc many things,including carpentry.

And when at duskthe trusty held for car theft bringsmy tray of grits and fatback, it .won't matter so much that, groaningand puking, I'll bo sick for hours.

Imagination is good wood; by midnightI'll be high as that mockingbirdin the magnolia across the moonlit road

Portrait of a Landscapist"Selections from the permanent

collection, featuring the works ofJohn Marin." We see this everydayon the bottom of Moose Prints undei"Exhibitions" and probably do notthink twice about it But who exactlyis John Marin and why does theColby Art Museum have one of thelargest and most significantcollections of his work in thecountry?

Marin is considered one of theUnited States' first and greatestmodem artists. Exhibitions of hisworks were mounted in theMetropolitan Museum of Art and theMuseum of Modern Art during hislifetime- a rare occurrence thatcertainly proved his predominance inthe art world of his time. During the1920's,'Marin was regarded as thegreatest watercolorist in the States,and in 1948 was voted "America'sgreatest artist by critics andmuseum directors.

John Marin was born inRutherford, N.J.. Throughout hischildhood, he spent most of his freetime outdoors fishing, hunting, andsketching until he developed a deepcommunion with nature . Thisproved to be his greatest art lessonof" all. According to Marin, thesemoments with nature were infinitelymore influential than his studies atthe Pennsylvanian Academy of theFine Arts or the Art Students Leaguein New York, both of which he wasa part , around the turn of thecentury.

During the years 1905-1909,Marin traveled in Europe, notstudying any particular style oimethod. Rather, he simply drifted ,developing slowly on his own. He

was not especially influenced by anyones artist in Europe, though there isdefinitely evidence of Cubism orExpressionism in his work. At first,he also felt close to Whistler'swork- a "softly evocative art" Soon,however, Marin's art took on ahighly individualized style whichhad few restrictions- boundaries andthe laws«of gravity were not at allimportant to him and a rational

A picture is completewhen it is the completion ofyour seeing.- John Marin

system of applying paint was not fellto be necessary.

In 1909, Marin met the man whochanged the direction of his artcareer, Alfred Stieglitz, owner of thePhoto-Session Gall.ry( or "291") inNew York. Stieglitz handled all ofMarin's financial matters and oftenmounted his pieces.

Marin returned to the States, and ir1912, did his most famous andimportant works in New York. Hewas overwhelmed by the city andput this emotion into his paintingswith great intensity. He expressedthe basic structures of suchbuildings as the Woolworth andMunicipal Buildings and, moreimportant, the forces pent up withinthem. Unlike artists before him,Marin did not distinguish thephysical form from the space itoccupied, a revolutionary concept.

With the same intensity that Marinportrayed New York did he paint theMaine landscape which he first sawin 1914. The key to these paintings,

however, was the quality andquantity of his brushstrokes- at onceexplosive and slashing and thenrhytmic and lyrical. Marin believedthat the fewer the number of strokesthe better the work. Thoug hsomewhat abstract, everything in hisworks is recognizable. He simplyused the real world, interpreted it,and through it expressed hisfeelings.

Oddly enough, though Marinpainted until his death in 1953, hiswork after the 1920s is generallyoverlooked in chronicles of modernart. It was during this time that hebegan painting with an AbstractExpressionist or Surrealist style.The paint itself was most important.As he stated," I am representingpaint first of all, and not the motifprimarily." He did not like the labelshowever and did not approve ofparticular theories of painting. Hisonly criterium was that an artist mustlook out first and into the mindsecond.

In the 1970's, Marin's son decide-that since Maine was such a specialplace to Marin, a large representativecollection should be established in a

Maine Museum. Because Mann Jr.had formed ties with Colby Collegepreviously, he donated some of hisfather's finest pieces to the museumwhen it opened in 1973. Thecollection includes 25 works thatover the period from 1883 to 1953

in all of the media he used: 15watercolors, 4 oil paintings, 1pastel, 2 etchings and three pencildrawings. These particular pieceswere chosen to display thedevelopment of Marvin 'sindividualistic style throughout hislife.
