On the final save, Deeganpoked theballupin theair and,inhis words, "just watched it floatover" the crossbar. He then wasmobbed in the corner of the fieldby teammates and fans who had

stormedthe field.Unbelievably,itwasDeegan'sfifth savein the setof tenpenaltykicks,andnotevenhis most dramatic. Three times inthe Shootout Deegan saved shotsthat wouldhave won the game forCoastal.

African-AmericanStudents RemainFrustrated With =±Life at Davidson

ByLeighRawdonUnlike last spring, unusual

current eventshavenot drawn at-tentiontothelifeofAfricanAmeri-can students atDavidson. How-ever, this lack of visible tensiondoesnot necessarily indicate thatthequalityoflifefor minority stu-dentshas improved.

Students continue toexpressseriousconcerns about theexperi-enceminoritiesandespeciallyAf-ricanAmericans haveatDavidson.These issues are repeatedly ad-dressedatalllevels inthe collegein anattempt tounderstand whatmight improve the situation.

Identifying theProblemOnly 85% of the black stu-

dents whoentered their freshmenyearwiththe class of 1992 gradu-atedfromDavidson;67%of thosewhobegan with the class of 1991graduated. Why is itthat AfricanAmerican students are generallynot satisfied with Davidson andoftendecide toleavebeforegradu-

Thehighattritionratehasbeena problem at Davidson since thefirst blackstudents enrolledin the1960's. Inthepast tenyears, thecollegehas analyzed the situationandidentified possibilities forim-proving the environment for theentire campus.

In 1984 coll ege president,John Kuykendall ,established ataskforceonracialandethniccon-cerns inhis first year aspresidentof thecollege. Thisreportidenti-fiedninemajor concerns,theback-groundsof eachconcern,andrec-

ommendations for possible solu-tions. Thetaskforcenamedsocialstress as oneof the major factorsfor dissatisfaction. According tothe report, the socialstress resultsfrom the small number of blackstudents, the demographic makeup, attitudes of black and whitestudents,andthenatureofthetownof Davidson.

After nearly four years atDavidson, senior Anthony Foxxcontinues tobattle thedissatisfac-tionfeltamongblack students.Heattributes the slow change in theenvironmentoncampustothecom-partmcntalization of the problemby theadministration.

Foxx listed several areaswhichhaveseparatedtheconcernsof the African American studentsfrom thoseof thestudentsatlarge.Theseinclude the curriculum,theDeans' Offices, thespeakers,andespecially the sociallife.

Theinsufficient sociallife isadirect resultof the small popula-tion of black students oncampus,according toTravisHinson,Presi-dent of the Black Student Coali-tion.Withonly59 AfricanAmeri-can studentsoncampus,itisdiffi-cult to findaniche ofpeople withnot only the same cultural back-ground,but also similar interests.

Hinson tells prospective stu-dents truthfully about other diffi-culties as well,includinginterac-tion withprofessorsand whitestu-dents who continually ask him tospeakas a resource representing

Davidson Considers PlansforNew Student UnionJohnston Gym Seen as "IdealLocation"

By RachelDunifonRumors about the possibility

ofanew collegeunion,after hav-ingbeencirculated foryears,maysoon be put torest. According toWilliam Brown, Director of theUnion,plansforanewunion"havebeen under active considerationsince springof '85,"althoughitisunclear when they will be imple-mented.

Brown says that the key tohavingasuccessfulunionis thatitbelocatedin the centerofcommu-nity life. "Going to the Unionshouldbesomethingdone withouteven thinking," Brown said.The

presentUnion location isnotcon-ducive to thiskindof traffic."Whenthe infirmary was in its oldloca-tion, at least we had some sickpeopledroppingby,"saidBrown.Now theUnion isout-of the-wayfromalmost everywhereoncam-pus.

Brown, a '70 graduate ofDavidson,says that theUnion waspreviously located where the li-brary now is. Then, in 1975, aplanning committee decided thatspotwouldbetheideal locationforanew library,and theUnion wastorn down. The director of theUnion at that time said that the

only way that theUnioncould re-main viableifmovedtoits currentlocation wouldbeif astudentPostOffice was placed there to gener-ate traffic.Becauseofcommunityopposition to that idea, however,the Union now "is locatedon theedgeofcampuswithnomajor traf-fic provider."

No moves were made tochange the location of the Unionuntil 1985, when it became clearthat Johnston Gym would be va-cated due to the construction ofBaker Sports Complex. Brown

For example,an important journalistnamed Bill Bradley wasinfluenced by President Kennedy to suppress or edit storiesinNewsweek during the early 1960's. Another journalist whomBurnham mentioned helpedshape one JusticeDepartment opinionand then wroteabout theruling withoutinforming hisreaders thathehadplayedamajor role in the outcomeof the event.

Burnhambelieves that thenewsmediaasa wholeisconservativeand notaggressive enough. It thus concentrateson stories whichrecountdaily events (such ashurricanes and fires) and ones whichreporttheviewsandsayingsofimportant leadersinsociety.Whilethemedia wentthrough twoperiodsofinquisitivenessandskepticism inthel900's andearly 19lO'sas wellas theSixties,themediahasoftenbeen passive. Since the electionRonaldReaganin 1980,accordingto Burnham, the mediahasbecome neutral and passive.

Burnhambelieves that themedianeeds todomoreinvestigativereporting, such as covering national trends and other long-termstories. According to Burnham, one way of doing so could be toexamine the idea that the I.R.S. is mismanaged: it tends to treattaxpayersin some areas of the country moreharshly thanin others,even though theI.R.S.operatesbyuniform laws andshould trainitsemployees to treatall Americans with samedegreeofgentleness orharshness. Burnham hasalso found thatNew YorkCity judgesworkless on Mondays and Fridays than during the middle of the week,while prisoners are kept waiting. Environment enforcement alsodiffers fromregion toregionofthe country, Burnham has found.

During thequestionandanswer sessionfollowing the54minutespeech, some audience members expressed pessimism about theabilitiesof themedia topublishquestion-raisinginvestigativestoriesinthe future,in thefaceofdecliningnews staffsizesandpressures tonotpublishcontroversial stories whichmight taradvertisers' reputa-tions.

Comments on the State of the GOP

For all the soccer team,Iwant toexpressourgratitude forall ofyour support. We areproud torepresent you. Please continue your support next weekend. We can't do itwithout you.

Sincerely,Matt SpearTri-Captain

ANote From The Team:

Yesterday the Davidson men's soccer team advanced to the NCAA soccertournament's"greateight"bygettingpastCoastalCarolina inasuddendeath Shootout.For thesecond straight week,sophomoreAlexDeeganprovided thelastminuteheroics,but theentire teamdeservesrecognition for their incredible effort.

Quitesimply, the teamhas shown thebest ofDavidsonathletics. Theyhaveproventhatasmall schoolcan win on thenational level. Theyhavealso shown itcanbe donewith true scholar-athletes,and without thebenefit of a single soccer scholarship. Notsince the1960

'sandthe daysof"Lefty"DriesellhastheDavidsonsports fanhad somuch

tobeexcitedabout.The secretof the team's success hasundoubtedlybeen itsability toplay wellas a

team.Throughhardworkandcommitment,theyhaveoutplayedteam'swithmore talent,but lessheart.

Thegreatmajority ofourplayers werenotheavilyrecruitedhigh schoolstars. RobUkrop, thenation's leadingscorerandcurrent front-runner forsoccer'sHermanaward,wastoldbysomecoaches thathewasn'tgoodenoughtoplayontheDivisionIlevel.MattSpearandCraigOmli, theteam'sothertri-captains,playedsuccessfully togetherinhighschool,but weren't heavily recruited either. The other key member of Davidson'sstalwart defense,CliffCastelloe,wasn'trecruitedbyanyone,including Davidson. Hewalkedon.

Four yearsago,almosthalfofCoachSlagle'splayerswereFreshmen. These samemennow formtheteam'sfoundation. SeniorsMatt Spear,CliffCastelloe,CraigOmli,Preston Yarborough,PhelpsSprinkle,AndySchwab,MikeNewton,andLanceKinerkhave broughtDavidsonsoccer toa level many never dreamed possible. Early in theircareers, theyrealized theirpotential as a teamandhave worked diligently to fulfill it

While avoiding arrogance, the team has taken on highly ranked teams withconfidenceandtenacity. Sincetheendoflast seasonthe teamhas beencommitted tothisseasonanditsgoalofmaking theNCAA tournament. Attimes thisyear,especiallyaftertough,consecutive losses toCoastalCarolina andFurman, the teamcould haveeasilygivenuponitsgoals. Insteadof feelingsorry for itself,the teamreeledoff fivestraightvictories enroutetoaSouthern Conference Championship andaNCAA bid.

Their accomplishments have given the student body reason for excitement. Theteamhasprovidedahealthyboost tocampus moraleatatimeinthe semesterwhenmoststudents are looking forward tobreak. Everyone can takepride in the team's success,because theplayersare juststudents likethe restof us. Unlikeathletesatotherschools,theseguysaretreatedoff the fieldlikeanyoneelse.

Although the locationhas yettobedetermined,the teamwillbattleN.C.State nextSunday for theright toplay in theFinal Four. Incase you'vemissed it,theFinalFourwillbeplayedhere,atDavidson. Awinnextweekendcouldset-up thegreatestspectacleinDavidsonsportshistory.Ifyouareable,pleaseget tothegame onSundayand supportthe 'Cats.

So,thankyouDavidsonsoccer. Youhavegivenusmuch tobeproudof. Bestoflucknext weekend

MONDAY,NOVEMBER 23,1992THEDAV/DSONIAN

Davidsonian Interview:Bob McKillopD: The first and most obviousthing that conies to mind withthisyear'steamIs thesevenfresh-men. What kind of role do youexpect each of the guys to play,and what kind of contributiondoyou expect them tomake?

M: Perhaps the great thing aboutthismixof veteransand freshmenis that the veterans that are in theprogram areestablished veterans,in terms of experience, minutesthey'veplayed,andsuccess they'vehad. Andwhenyouthrow threeorfour freshmeninto the firewithoutthatsupportbascofavetcran group,itmakesitdifficult. Thisis thefirsttime since I've been here that thefreshmen will be cast into roles,supported bya veterangroup thatis talented and experienced.SoIthink that's thefirst statementyoucanmakeabout the freshmen. It'snotgoing tobe on their shouldersas it has been in the process oftrying tobuild theprogram. As faras whatrole they willplay, we'vegota terri1c degreeofathleticism,very good size,andan energizedgroup.Theyreallywanttobehere,they're proud to be here, they'rehonored to be here, and they'replaying like they want tobe here.And you've got one or more ateachposition, soitgives us greatversatility.

D:At whatpositions doyouseeeachof the freshmen?M:Isee MattGrieser andChrisAlpert as point guards.IseeFrantisekBabkaashavingtheabil-ity to handle the point in certainsolutions,certainly be a shootingguard, and maybe be in Janko[Narat]'sspot,theswingspot.IseeJeff Andersonbeing able toplaythe shooting guardas wellas theswing spot.Isee Brandon Will-iams beingable toplay the 3-spot[swing forward]andthe4-spot[bigforward] anddefensivelyeven the2-spot [off-guard].Isee QuinnHarwood in the roleof point for-ward,being able toplay 1 [pointguard],2,3,or 4 offensively,anddefensivelyprobably4and5 [cen-ter]. AndIwould say that Mark[McGuire]wouldbeprimarily a5-man, but you never know. WithDetlef [Musch]orGeorge [Spain]in the game,hemight be able toplay some4.

D:Who do yousee at the pointrightnow?M: We're committed to JasonZimmerman.Jasonwillstartat thepoint.Wehaveconfidence inhim.He's been a great leader. Hehasworkedfeverishlyduringthe sum- 'mer. Ithink he's got the confi-dence.Hecertainlyshouldfeel theconfidence from us, and in mymind he's ready to take on thatrole. And he's not inexperiencedthere.Heplayedabout sixminutesa game as afreshman at thepoint.Lastyearheplayedabout 10min-utesagameat thepoint. So you'reputting a junioron the court withtwoyearsstartingexperience,plus16 minutes a game point guardexperience.

With the influx ofathletic ability in this freshmanclass,doyouplantoexpandthattoafull-court defense andmorefastbreaking thanyou'vedoneinthepast?M:Idon't know that we're asathletic across(heboard,from the1-spot to the 5-spot,as weneedtobe if we're going to extend thecourt.Sotoextendthecourtdefen-sivelyrightnow isnotinourplan.Wewillplayaveryaggressive half-court defense.We'll try to mix itupa littlebitmorethan wedid in thepast.So we're go-ing totry tousein-telligence as afac-tor, as our edge,muchmoreso thanathleticism on thedefensive end. Wehavereallybecomeverysensitivetotheneed for us to be-come aggressivedefensively.So ag-gression and intel-ligence will prob-ablybethetwohall-marks of our de-fense. At least,that's what we'reworking towards.From anoffensivestandpoint, welikeour ability toshootthe three-pointerandwelikeourabil-ity to score on theblocks.What we'dlike todoisrun thebreak, theprimary break, run thesecondary break, shoot the three-pointer with license.

D:Oneof the things that peopleare going to notice first aboutthis teamisthat[lastyear'sstart-ing point guard] Frank Harrisisn'there.What happenedwithhim andwhy is henotback?M: Frank had a terrific freshmanyear forus.Hewas successfulasapointguard,even though thatwasnot his position as a high schoolplayer.But he willingly acceptedthatroleanddidagreatjob.FrankandIspokeinMarchand Apriloflast year,and we talkedabouthiscomfort at thepoint spot.He saidhe'dlike toplay the 2-guardspot,and Isak.\ 'That's fine with mebecause that would be ideal foryousince youareascorerand youhave ascorer's mentality.'Isaid,'You just have to work on yourthree-pointshooting.' He workedextremelyhardinMarchand Aprilandprior to exams on his three-pointshooting in thegymbyhim-self,and seemedcommitted tore-allyaccepting thatrole,stillunder-standingthatIwouldcallonhim to

very surprising. After a week ortwoof talking withFrank and try-ing tofind out thereasons for hisdecisiontoleave— hedidn'tevensayhe wantedto leave,he saidhewanted to look around, to shoparound, those were his words, 'Iwant to shop around.' After twoweeks of this, we spoke almosteveryday.Franksaid,'Coach.I'vedecided thatDavidson is thebestplace for me. I'm coming back.Youcan trustme.'Ithink thatwasaround June 2, 3,or 4. And wespokeona weeklybasis from thatconversation in June through outthewholemonthofJune,andeachtimehereassuredmehe wascom-ing back. Finally, on July 7 or 8Frank decided he was going toleave.Ibelieve thereason for itisthatFrankhadagreatyear.Frankbelieves he is a Big East-caliberplayer,andFrank wants toget toplay at that level. Andinorder toplay atthat level,itis perhapshisbelief that toconcentrateon aca-demics the way youmust concen-trateonacademics heremight in-terfere with thatmission— tobeaBig East and eventually NBAplayer.AndIdon't think he waswilling tosacrifice that,and that'swhyhedecided to leave.

And whenyou're out recruiting, because oftherecruitingrestrictionsand1imi-talions,youdon'tgettoknowthoseplayers as wellas you would like,notonly as playersbut as peopleand as students. So when peoplecomehereand see themany chal-lenges that Davidson presents,sometimes that,to them,becomesfrustrating. We can go down the

players that left.Franco Ferronilovedit here. Thatwasnofaultofours,no decisionofoursthat Franco left.AndFranco,to thisday,callsmeeverytwo weeks to seehow thingsareandtellsmehow muchhewisheshecouldbe here. That wasthe NCAA.JamesMarshleft becausehe was offered avery attractive procontract, and feltthat he could stillcontinue hiseduca-tion in Germanyand play pro bas-ketball.

Soschools that are in our neighbor-hoodhavelostplayersas well.ButIthink it'saspecialkindofstuentwhocan succeed here,andsome-times youcan'talwaysgauge thatin a four-time evaluation whichtheNCAArestricts usto.

D:The schedule this year, withthemove to the Southern Con-ference, is as hardas it's beensince you've beenhere.Yoube-gin with three games [St.Joseph's of Maine, TennesseeTemple,andLynchburg]thataremuch easier than the rest.Givemeyour philosophyon thatandyour thoughts on the rest of theschedule.M:TheNCAAhasmandated thatwe start November 1, which im-mediately knocks out two weeksof practice time.

We needed togetour veteranssomeconfidence.They're coming off winning fourof their last five games, stillques-tioning whether or not theycanbesuccessful, but now having theexperienceandperhaps theconfi-dence of maybe pushing them-selves intothatbarrier where theybelieve theycanbe winners.Andwe had to get our freshmen asmuch experienceas possible. Sofor the combination ofconfidenceand experience,we decided that,let's take those first two weeksofDecember, and see if we couldprovideanexperiencethat'sgoingto allow us to use freshmen plusbuild our veterans' confidence.And that'swhy wedidnotplay theBigEastteamsor the ACC teams,the so-calledmarqueeteams,earlyin thatDecember timeperiod.It'sa chance for us toexperiment, toget our feet wet,and tosee if thedecision we've made withshoot-ingthe three-pointeris theone thatwe'd like to be able maintainthroughout the year.

ImprovedWildcats Likely to Struggle inConferenceBy BruceBalestier

Ifyouask thepeopleDavidsonbasketball coach Bob McKillopcalls the "so-called experts", theWildcats' first year back in theSouthern Conference is going tobeanawfullylongone.Davidsonis picked eighth in the 10-teamleaguebyStreetandSmith's,ninthby theNCAABasketballPreview,and last by The Sporting News.AndevenMcKillopsays that thoseforecastsofdoomare"understand-able." Thosepublications "pickusbased upon our previous perfor-mance," McKillop says,"andourprevious performance indicatesthatwewouldstrugglein theSouth-ern Conference."

Inpart,McKillop is referringto last year's 11-17campaign, inwhich Davidson finished tied forfifthplace in theBigSouth witha6-8 record. That frustrating teamsometimes showed that ithad thewherewithal to hang with majorcompetition (as in a 66-62 winover Miami) and sometimes sug-gested that it could lose to anyteamin thecountry(as ina68-67loss toWinthrop).

Most of the significant play-ers from that team return,includ-ing its lop three scorers, juniorswingmanJankoNarat,seniorcen-terDetlefMuschand juniorguardJason Zimmerman. One signifi-cant subtraction was point guardFrank Harris, whoaveraged 10.4pointspergame asafreshmanlastseason but decided this summernottoreturn toDavidson.

Zimmerman has been the

starteratoff-guard duringeachofhis first two seasons, averaging12.5 and 11.8 points per game,respectively,and possessesadeftshooting touch tobeyond 20 feet.Buthewillbeginthisseasonas thestarter atpointguard.Zimmermanhas seenonlylimited action atthepoint in thepast,and the smooth-ness of his transition to full-timestatus willbecritical to theteam'ssuccess. Freshmen Chris Alpert,MattGricscrandFrantisek Babkawill back up Zimmerman, withseniorco-captainMattMathenyina reserverole.

Zimmerman'sshifttothepointleavesa vacancy atoff-guard,andfreshman Jeff Anderson has an-nounced himself the major candi-date for the job with his strongshowing during the first threeweeksof practice.He slashedhisway to14pointson7-9shootinginSaturday'sRed-Black.scrimmage.Anderson is one of a group ofpiayerscapableofplayingboththeoff-guardand small forward.

Narat was the team's MVP,best three-point shooter and lead-ingscorer(14.0ppg)as the starteratsmall forwardlastyear,and fig-ures to be the starter thereagain.Buthe willalso spend timeat thebig guard spot;Babka, 6'5" withan accurateperimeter jump shot,and Anderson willalso swing be-tween the two spots. FreshmanBrandon Williams is thebest ath-leteonthe team,andgavethecrowdahintofhis leapingability withanimpressive alley-oop dunk in theRed-Black game.He should see

plentyoflimeatbothforwardspots.Thestarter atpower forward

toopen the season figures to be6'8"seniorJ.D.Heuer,whostartedseveralgameslatelastseason there.He has range to 20 feet, but isperhaps more valuable as asolidrebounder and setter of screens.SophomoreGeorgeSpainhasbeeneffective in the post early in theseason,andshouldplayatboththepower forward and center posi-tions.QuinnHarwood,a6'9"fresh-man,haspower forward size,butpossesses ballhandling skills thatallow him to play every positionbutpoint guard.Sophomore TimCaldwellis much improvedandisalsoan optionatforward.

For thefourthsuccessiveyear,the Grand Teuton, 7'0" DetlefMusch, willstart at center. Afteraveraging 12.8 points and 6.4 re-bounds per game last season,Muschimprovedoverthesummerintryoutsforthe GermanOlympicteam.Heshould topthe1,000pointmark for his career sometime inDecember.Musch'sunderstudyinthe pivot will be 6'10" freshmanMark McGuire. McGuire has apretty solidinside game and runsthefloor andfinisheson the breakextremely well foracenter.

Theseven-manfreshmanclassgives the teamamuch-needed in-jectionof athleticism,and, in re-sponse, McKillop will enact afaster-pacedgameplan. Theteamwillplayaggressivehalf-court de-fense,and McKillopsays thathewantstoinitiate thefastbreak,andshoot the open three-pointer, at

everyopportunity.The schedule,of course,pro-

vides some major obstacles. The'Cats begin with three non-Divi-sionIpatsies, St. Joseph's(Me.),TennesseeTempleandLynchburg,but then will meet themirror im-age: consecutive dates withClemson,WakeForestandUNC-Charlotte. The 18-game SouthernConference schedule is sure tobemore rigorous than lastyear'sBigSouth slate,andagame withN.C.Stateandanother withUNCCcomelater.

The Wildcatsshould be fairly

competitive with thesecond tierofthe conference (theCitadel,VMI,WesternCarolinaandAppalachianState)but seem tobea clear stepbelow the conferenceelite(Geor-giaSouthern,UTCandETSU).Soahighleaguefinishseemsunlikely.Without a doubt, though, this isMcKiHop'smosttalentedteam,andit figures to be much improvedover last year's.But it would takean improbably precocious yearfromthefreshmen forDavidson toemergeas aSouthern Conferencecontender this timearound.

Wehavedared to be diffcrnt by cominghere,anditis a differentplace,andIhavelearned whatanhonoritis tobehere. And it's taken three yearsof experience to get to thatpoint.And I think our students some-times go through that processaswell.You just look at the way thealums feel about this place afterthey've left,there's a certain loveaffair thatcarriesfarinto their30'sand 40's and 50's and 60's andbeyond,thatDavidsonis kindofaspecialand uniqueplace.So withthis conceptof feelingitan honor

to be here, with this feeling ofhaving fun and enjoying it here,I'vecastaside any sense of pres-sureuponmyselfpersonally,eventhough thisisthe fourth yearoftherebuilding process, and feel thatthefunI'mhavingisgoingtofilterdown toourplayers. And perhapsthat's going to take some of thepressure off them.Notperhaps, itwill.There'snodoubtinmymind.We'regoing tohave fun this yearplaying basketball for Davidson,we're going to try toplay a funstyle. We're going to try to becharacterized by,asIsaid,the twopointsbeingaggression andintel-ligence.Youknow,we'resupposedtobe anoutstandingacademic in-stitution, but why can't that bereflectiveofourstyleofplay.We'resupposed to be the leaders, thestudent body and the graduates,we'resupposedtobetheleadersofthecommunityand ihcworld.Whycan't that intelligence factor thenbe usedas arealedgeon thebas-ketballcourt for us?Socoming tounderstandDavidson,andit'suikcnsome time, and I'm sure youstu-dents understand that better thanus staff members.Coming toun-derstand Davidson has really putthings into focus for myself andIam very, very excited about thisnew senseofenthusiasm thatIfeelaboutbeinghere.

parallels between the Big Southand the Southern. Our last gameagainst a Southern Conferenceopponent was Appalachian Statetwo years ago, and we defeatedthem. UNC-Asheville played aSouthern Conference opponent,Ithink threeof themlast year,fourof them theyearbefore,and werevery competitive with them.Campbell was very competitivewith SouthernConference foes.Sothere's some degreeof compari-son between the Southern and theBig South. But, there'sno doubtthat theSouthern hasmorequalityplayerson theirrostersthan whataBigSouth team has,generally,ontheir roster.So tobepickedninthor tenthis understandable,it'sac-ceptablefrom thestandpointof wewelcome that role of underdog.We are going to try to prove theexperts are wrong. So we're notoffended byit,weunderstandwhy.Thepowerratingshavethe South-ern atthe 20th spot,theyhave theBigSouthas the28th-rankedcon-ference. And of course the teamslikeEastTennesseeStateandUT-Chattanooga and Marshall andGeorgia Southern have tradition-allybeen morepowerful thanBigSouth teams.

When they lookback on their college years theydon'twant toremember theexamsor all-nighters (granted, if hardwork isn't learned here it ain'tlearned),butgoodtimes,greatpar-ties, and most of all friends.

ByScottMcCleanO woe is me! After many

months oflookingforward tosee-ingFrancisFordCoppola'sadap-tationofBramStoker's1897novelDracula,I,havingbeen teasedbythose tantalizing trailers, cameawayfromtheopeningnightofthefilmmorethanalittledisappointed.Toutedas one of thehighlightsofthe winter movie season,Ithinkthat perhaps this "cinematicextravanganza" was doomed bythehype surrounding it from thebeginning; but then again, whyshouldn't we expect somethinggreat from the director of 'TheGodfather" trilogy anda cast thatboasts such talent as AnthonyHopkinsand WinonaRyder?Thisflick should've had sparks flyingoutof the screen and stuff. Youwill see greatspecialeffects,butIthink justa little toomuch of the$42 million spent on the projectwent for razzle dazzle and notenough went towards ascript thatwoulddojusticetoStoker'snovel.

The film opens withahistori-cal background on the mortalDracula (Gary Oldman) who re-

turns fromabattle in 1462 to findthat his beloved bride has died.Uponhearingthishebeatsupsomepriests, trashes his chapel,andre-nounces God(We aresupposed tobelieve that this is why he turnedintoa vampire, whichjust goestoshowyou: Don'tgetonGod'sbadside).

Flash forward 400 years toLondonwhere weseeayounglawclerk by the name of JonathanHarker (KeanuReeves)preparingto go to Transylvania to settle areal estate transaction with aspe-cialclient. Guess who? Anyway,Harker goes to Dracula's castle,way up in the dark, dank,moist-strewnCarpathianmountains,withdanger lurking 'round everycor-ner. Ooh.itwasjusttoospooky forwords.

Harker finds that his host ismore than justalittleweirdandhiscastle ishidingseveral interestinglittlesecrets(likeDracula'sharemof beguiling blood-suckingbeau-ties). Unfortunately for Jonathan,hegetsallintheCount'sKool-Aidanddoesn't evenknow the flavor(translation: the boy was in

Dracula's business),soheis "de-tained" by a beauty at the castlewhile Draculaheads off for Lon-don to findhis deadbride who hebelieves has been reincarnated inHarker's fiancee, Mina (WinonaRyder).Ireadthebook three timesand

thought thatIwas frustrated anddisappointed over the film. I'vecome torealize that anyone withhalf abrain should beable to seethat beneath the glitter surround-ing Dracula, there is no gold.Reeves wasmiscast inhisrole astheEnglishman,Harker,andeverytime he spoke it seemed almostcomical.
