Campus News New computer helps students to find jobs

By Lauren Ungaro Staff Writer

Students looking for work study and student labor jobs can now have information about themselves—what hours they are available to work what their majors are, and the departments in which they are interested in working, for example—entered into a computer at the student employment office, said Laurie Werl- ing, assistant director of financial aid and coordinator of student labor and work study programs.

The computer system matches the students' information with that of employers, Werling said. Employers specify such details as the amount their departments can spend on student employ- ment and the kinds of responsibilities to be fulfilled on the job, she said After this data is placed in the system, job suggestions can be made to the student, she said.

The computerized service is coordinated with the help of the State Labor Department, Werling said The system can be useful to graduating students looking for full-time work or to students who need part-time or temporary work Students should go to the Connecticut Labor offices nearest their homes. Werling said

A list of available work study and student labor jobs is posted in the student employment office, and revised about once a week, Werling said

Police offer drunk driving seminar

extin- ]

Campus police presented their third seminar on drun- ken driving awareness Tues- day night in the lobby of Grange Hall as part of their continuing campaign to ex- pose students to the perils of driving while intoxicated

"We're not here to try and change your attitudes about drinking or your party habits. Our purpose is to explain the fallacies, myths and facts about drunken driving. Also to tell you if you get caught ' you've had it," Sgt. Bob Parizeau, training officer and director of the program said.

The two-hour session was informal but informative, con- ducted in a congenial at- mosphere where people walked in and out of the lounge as the mood took them Nearly 20 students attended, most of them asking questions and volunteered to come up and be tested on the intoximeter.

Literature and pamphlets were passed out and hand held drink-drive calculators were distributed. With these a student can gauge how many

drinks it takes him or her to get legally drunk.

"Constitutionally, we need a probably cause to pull over a suspected drunk driver. We look for moving violations— such as erratic operation, crossing the middle line weaving, or running a red light" Parizeau looked around "We do this because every drunk driver is a poten- tial killer."

Augmon demonstrated the three main phases a suspec- ted drunken driver is subjec- ted to during his arrest. The first is a field sobriety test It is here that the arrest, if deemed neescessary, is actually made.

A volunteer stood up and was ushered through a ba- lance test, in which he had to walk a straight line heel to toe and touch nis nose with his eyes closed head throuwn back, and arms extended horizontally from his sides. Up to six separate tests can be administered to determine if a suspect is drunk

The second phase is when the driver is transported to the station house There he is filmed on video tape while his

It is a state law that if the subject refuses to submit to an intoximeter test his or her license is automatically sus- pended for the next six months.

The third phsase is the intoximeter itself. Police have the option to waive the intoximeter test and istead insist upon a blood or urine sample to measure the alco- hol level in the blood stream Augmon programmed a com- puter, the same one used at the police station, with each volunteer's name and birth date.

Professor offers blueprint for lifetime health By Mark Roy

People need a blueprint for success in losing weight and keeping Fit, but in America today, people are getting the wrong messages about fit- ness, according to a Univer- sity of Connecticut associate professor of allied; health.

In this country we buy fit- ness in chrome-filled mirrored gymnasiums,'* says Dr. Harry Barney, but we are not willing to integrate it into our lifestsyle."

Diets are traumatic to the system,"' says Barney. 'Diets cause eating disorders. Eating should be an art, not stuffing your face People have to learn to stop eating when they are full, by eating slower. The average family meal in this country lasts seven minutes. Your system needs 20 min- utes to signal the brain that you're full."

Barney says there is no model of health in the United States, and that everything we know about comes from the study of disease. "Don't do this, and you won't get a heart attack, don't do this and you won't get cancer, don't do this and you won't get diabetes.

But we don't really have good models of health and we are not working toward any mod- els of health," he says.

This year 1,000,000 Ame- ricans are going to have heart attacks. What we don't really understand from that is that half of all heart attacks are fatal. Fifty percent of the peo- ple die immediately. If 1,000 people come down with a new strain of flu, the government develops a vaccine, and that's considered to be an epi- demic" says Barney.

In his t research} Barney has come up with a model of health, based on the long lived cultures of the world

"I literally give people the secrets on how to live to be well over 150 years old' he says. The people who live to be well over 150 are not just that obscure group in the Soviet Union that we hear about, but there is a group in Ecuador, there is a group in South Africa in Southern France, and it cuts across ethnic and racial lines."

What Barneys model of health also is based on is perhaps hard for many people

to take: common sense To lose weight: reduce your cal- oric intake increase your level of exercise To stay fit and healthy, eat a balanced diet, increase your level of exercise, stop smoking.

"It is common sense," says Barney, "but people need to know how to start an exercise program. They need a bluep- rint for success. No one be- comes a smoker overnight, no one becomes obese over- night In the programs I run for corporations to improve employee health, we won't go in unless they commit to a year. When a person walks in the door, I ask Where do you want to be one year from now?'

They say A year? 1 want to lose 20 pounds in five days.' I say "There's the door. You literally have to throw people into a cold-water bath and wake them up.

"With every person I work with, I do an assessment and tell them how to assess where they are now. What is their baseline? From there I give them a program of exercise from week one through week 16. It's an individualized pro- gram. It is common sense, but no one knows how to begin to get it because we are getting these messages from people like lane Fonda and Victoria Principal and people who really don't know the scien- tific way to begin an exercise program," says Barney.

"Losing weight is a com- mon sense program, but how

many people out there know that Shake and Bake' is 50 percent sugar?," Barney asks.

"In the long-lived cultures, they are largely agrarian, liv- ing off the land People in these cultures consume 1,200 calories per day. Now. the average McDonalds meal is 1500 calories.

"We don't have to look at human beings. Look at the white rats used in research The life expectancy of the Charles River rat is 18 months. Studies show that if you cut the caloric intake in half, you will consistently double the rats' life span, from 18 months to 30 to 36 months. The studies have been done over and over again Humans con- sume an average of 3,000 to 3,500 calories per day and that is not good"

Quitting smoking and re- ducing stress also are part of Barney's program. He has run many stop-smoking clinics in- cluding one this summer to train health professionals.He notes that in the Surgeon General's recent efforts against smoking cigarettes, it has been stated that quitting smoking is the single most preventable cause of death.

Regarding stress. Barney says he can ask one question to an individual and the answer will be the single best predictor for that persons health and well- being over the next year. The question? Are you happy with your job?"

I have more people tell

me Oh I hate my job.' In "Dr. Zhivago" there is a line 'If we continually say things dif- ferently than we really feel it is bound to affect our health.' And it's bound to. That's how ulcers happen.

"We have an immune sys- tem, a defense system in our bodies. Why is it that some- times people get cancer and sometimes people don't? The immune system is designed to fight off disease it does its job miraculously, and we don't even know how it does.it. All we know is that when a per- son is under a great deal of emotional stress, they get sick That's how they break the cycle and it could range from a simple cold to cancer."

People need to adopt a bet- ter attitude It is critical. Thirty-five million people go on a diet every Monday in this country. They blew it on Thursday, and say Well. III pig out over the weekend and Monday I'll go on a diet' And Monday morning they think I have to go on a diet. Why.' I'm just a blubber butt, a fat slob No one will like me' And I ask when was the last time you ever tried to achieve a goal on susch a negative note and were successful' In my seminars I use what is called the millionaire attitude.' Imagery. What we can think and imagine can be a reality." Barney said.

Page 6 The Daily Campus. October 3. 1084 Ufe/Style Foreign study broadens a student's horizons

By Eileen McNamara Campus Correspondent To many of us the idea of

going to Europe is as intang- ible as the thought of gradua- tion day is to a freshman on his first day of classes.

For the average student struggling to keep up with ris- ing education costs, traveling to Europe for even a week or two is financially impossible.

But every year the dream of living in Europe becomes a reality for a small number of UConn students.

The Study Abroad Program in London, sponsored by the English Department, gives a- bout 35 students the chance every yea/ to live and study for two semesters in London. The Program is one of 13 study abroad programs in operation on campus.

Designed primarily for English and History majors, the Program was started

three years ago "to give stu- dents trie opportunity to ex- perience living in a foreign country and dealing with dif- ferent people" said Donna Bojus, coordinator for the Program.

The cost of the program is approximately $6,000, and in- cludes tuition, fees, and air- fare. Financial aid is avail- able.

Students who study in Lon- don with the Program take UConn courses taught by British professors, and are housed in London town- houses with other UConn students.

We all got along really well, basically," said Elizabeth Rocco. a 7th semester English major who spent last year in London

"There were little pro- blems We were provided with pots, pans, plates and cutlery and there were problems with

people leaving dirty dishes lying around the kitchen for days There were also some problems with people stealing food But it's the same as living in a dorm here. You always get certain people who just don't get along."

While she found the wea- ther cold and the English food bland, Rocco said she loved living in London.

It seems like there was so much more outside of school to do when you're in London because everything was so close.' I loved the museums. There were things I had never gotten a chance to see before, paintings that I'd seen in books but never thought I'd get the chance to see in per- son," said Rocco.

Studying in the British school system, she said was not necessarily harder, just different, than the American system.

"In the British schools if you're taking a literature course you're a literature stu- dent Iriey're much more specialized than we are in our studies. So the teacher would expect you to know certain things that you might not know," she said

Ruki Sattar has always been fascinated with England, and as an art student she has always wanted to go to Eur- ope to see the places she had heard about from her in- structors

Last year she and her roommate Laura Sheehan, a senior majoring in theater, went to London on the Pro- gram.

"I found that the English people are talented in the arts" Sattar said

"They're a very suppressed people emotionally," Sheehan said They don't vent any of their emotions so it all comes

storming through in paintings and on stage. I saw some of the greatest moments in the theater there."

The Program provides a few short excursions in England for the students, but the initiative and cost of trav- eling around the United King- dom and the rest of Europe is left up to the individual. Most students do their traveling over the Christmas break.

Sheehan and Sattar spent five weeks and about $500 traveling through Europe, and found that for a student, trav- eling around was not too ex- pensive

"We got by on student dis- counts," Sheehan said. " Sleeping was cheap. We slept in pensiones and youth hos- tels."

Pensiones, she explained, were rooms lent by families to travelers and were generally cleaner and cheaper than the youth hostels.

There are ways to cut back a little on the cost of the Pro- gram, Sattar said. One is to book a cheaper flight to Lon- don then the one arranged by the Program.

'You can do better on your own," Sattar said "'We did."

The two sold their return tickets back to the airline, bought cheaper tickets through another, and with the difference stayed in London and extra ten days.

"We were lucky we could sell our tickets back," Sattar said most times you really can't"

For Laura Sheehan and Ruki Sattar the experience of living in London, meeting and mixing with the British people and traveling around Europe ts almost uiidescribable.

"Everybody came back dif- ferent," Sheehan said Every- body came back with such a different outlook on life It was just the best time. There was so much freedom, so much exploration, learning so much of what we didn't know exis- ted I mean you think America is everything. You grow up within the bowels of this country and you think we're so big and we're so great' and then you get outside of it and you see, you find out, how other people really live'

Life/Style Myrt's Lunch Wagon supplies hospitality & helps to brighten day

By Carolyn Anderson Campus Correspondent

It's just before eight in the morning. The first rays of the pale early morning sun filter across Mirror Lake and some of the scant few students up and around at that hour seem bewildered. The need to wake up drives them to Myrts Lunch Wagon for coffee and a B-Egg-el.

Myrts was always a lunch wagon, not a delivery truck, not even a psychedelic means of transportation to and from concerts. First a police officer and his wife ran it in Hartford and sold hot- dogs. Period. No homemade meatballs, cookies, brownies or whoopie pies. No herbal tea or salad-in-a-pita. Just hotdogs. The Ward Steinmiller bought it, drove it to UConn, and his wife, Myr- tle, started cooking full-time. She's been at it ever since, working nights and weekends just to keep up with the regular menu, never mind the daily soup and special.

Of course, Myrts wasn't always situated on the curb of Whit- ney Road between Arjona and Monteith. You may remember four years ago when the wagon came to UConn and parked over next to Vicky's wagon. Things were tough back then for Myrts. cause Vicky had a lot of regulars that went there and Myrts just didn't do too well. But then Steve's wagon was in an accident and got totalled, said Steinmiller, so the Whitney Road spot opened up and UConn contacted Steinmiller.

Now Ward had his mind set to really get into the lunch wagon competition at UConn, he wanted to give the students low proces and something good from home. So he kept a close eye on the other trucks and took pictures of their menus to see and com- pare their prices. ( He still does.) He built the cooler and had it put in, he put in the grill.

"It's such a tiny area to work in and you can carry only so much food in the coolers," Linda Steinmiller said. Linda is Ward and Myrtle's daughter, and she has managed the wagon now for two and a half years. Luckily, she doesn't get claustrophobia.

"I don't mind working in an area this size, though even in all kinds of weather," Linda said You could never tell to look at her figure that she cooks for a living Wow. "We get used to bumping into each other and we laugh after a while. Although it's tough to work for your father, I've had other jobs and none compare with this one. I'm on my own, and the outside is all around me. In the summer I go sit outside and read During the winter break no- body's around, and I get breaks when it gets real slow."

Spotless inside, a bit of bondo outside, Myrts Lunch Wagon is a nice place to brighten up the morning-after-the-night-before blues. The air around Myrts vibrates with conversation when- ever you walk by and that in itself is energizing. All those chatty people make it worthwhile for the crew of Myrts. too.

A lot of people do tell me it's the best truck on campus...' Linda said, smiling

Kenya native tells of heritage

If you ask her about her homeland Susan Mboya, 19, of Nairobi, Kenya, is likely to ask you to qualify your ques- tion. "Do you mean in the modern or in the traditional sense?" she might ask.

Kenya, a country on the east coast of Africa, is rapidly changing, although tradi- tional values and attitudes strongly influence people's lives, Susan said. Sexual roles, for example, are clearly de- fined. Susan said that when she was visiting the home of a married couple in the U.S., she was surprised to see that the husband was cooking a meal for her and his wife. "At home, that just wouldn't happen," she said The woman would feel embarrassment that she was not fulfilling her respon- sibility as a wife, Susan said.

Perhaps the job that Sus- an's mother, an ambassador to the United Nations, holds indicates that Kenyan women are seeking to take on new roles and responsibilities. Susan herself plans to attend medical school.

Customs pertaining to dat- ing and marriage are changing more rapidly. Susan explained that when her parents were adolescents, dating was not allowed unless it was accom- panied by a proposal of mar- riage we from the man. Usually a man would see a woman he was attracted to. often in his village or at a chaperoned dance. He would then ask her parents permis- sion to marry the woman, at the same time offering them a dowry which usually consis- ted of farm animals. If the parents approved the match the couple were allowed to get to know each other. They were not allowed to be alone together, though, and the

By Lauren Ungaro Campus Correspondent

woman was not allowed to visit the man's house before they were married.

Susan exlains that, though this tradition is still practiced in many rural village areas, it is less stringently applied in many families, especially those in the cities. She was not allowed to date until she was 18. and then only with her brother as a chaperone. But she said. People are chang- ing so fast.Probaby by the time I get back (to Kenya), things will be completely dif- ferent." She added. Grown- ups are beginning to accept a lot more thing than they have before."

Susan said the idea that girls and boys cannot woik near each other without l>^ coming distracted is an old one. It is outmoded she said, and people are beginning to realize it. New ways of thinK- ing abolished sexual segrega- tion of public elementary school students, she said. She added that almost all secon- dary schools are still segre- gated by sex.

Susan spoke of some differ- ing customs of city and rural people.When she visits her grandparents, who are far- mers, Susan abandons forK and knife and eats with her hands. She may also put away her Westernized clothes and don more traditional, draping clothing, the cotton material she uses decorates her bureaus; its beautiful black and white symmetrical pat- terns are arranged on purple cloth. The cloth can be worn as a sarong or as a two piece wrap, she said.

Susan notes that, in Kenya family relationships are closer and more respectful than in the U.S. Childen stand up when their parents enter the

room, she said, and they never, never talk back." She said that if a Kenyan parent insists that a son or daughter break a date in order to wash the car. for example. (they'll) wash that car." She adds that, for boys, a favorite way to break a date with a girl is to explain that his mother or father has asked him to do s< >mething else. This excuse is never questioned, she said.

She said that Kenyans ireat the elderly with a respect, and almost a deference, which is lacking in the U.S. She said kenyins would not ever put an elderly person in a cova- lescent home. It just isn't done.' she said. When she passes an elderly woman on the street. Susan addresses her as mother. Susan, in turn, is called daughter.' Many of the old women relish this tradition. Some of them reply. "I could be one of your relatives and you wouldn't even know it. (This joke is a reference to the \frican tradi- tion whereby men took several wives and have very large families). It is con- sidered a great compliment, inkenya. to be called Old man." she said.

The elderly in Susans family command respect, too. One set of grandparents are both in their eighties and work on a family farm. They are alert and strong. Susan said. Her grandfather has impor- tant responsibilities: My grandfather has three wives and many children.some younger than I am.' she said

Susan adds one more bit of information about her home- land: there are no tigers there! Tigers live in Asia There are, however, lions, leopards, cheetah, antelope, buffalo, zebra giraffes, and elephants

Editorial Comment

Who will teach? This nation is facing a teacher shortage so severe that the least academically qualified could become the teaching force for the next two generations of American schoolchildren.

Older teachers are retiring, and younger teachers are leaving the field for other occupations. But. neither the quantity nor the quality of new teachers is sufficient to replace those who are leaving.

Changing American demographics, the failure of the education system to attract and retain the more qualified teachers, and the failure of education schools to maintain adequate standards has brought about this crisis in teaching

Demographic trends have become a problem because after more than a decade of declining enrollments in elementary and secondary schools, the children of the post-World War II baby boom' generation will cause a surge in elementary school enrollment beginning around 1985. At the same time, however, the college-age population from which most potential teachers are drawn will con- tinue to decline throughout the eighties and into the nineties.

Furthermore, academically-inclined women and minorities, once restricted to teaching as a pro- fessional option are now moving into fields which offer better pay. better working conditions, and bet- ter chances for advancement. Fewer and fewer choose, let alone feel obliged, to take up teaching.

While there is a great demand for teachers, the incentives to join the teaching profession are drop- ping even faster than the supply of new teachers. Teachers salaries, low to begin with, have declined 15 percent over the past decade. Salaries in general have risen 1 5 percent.

Nevertheless, the most disturbing failure is on the part of the naiton s education schools, not the education system. Education programs can earn a school considerable amounts of money with only a fraction of the capital investment that other pro- grams such as engineering require. But to keep going at a time when qualified applicants are scarce, these schools have had to keep standards low and output high.

Unfortunately, while there have been major re- forms called for education; including, higher edu- cational standards and increased course require- ments, the crisis now emerging in the teaching pro- fession could preclude the attainment of other reforms being urged

BOSTON - About a year ago. I bought a T- shirt with a cartoon profile of a female Yuppie looking up at the sky in distress. She was crying out: Nuclear War!?! Oh, No. There Goes My Career!!!"

There was something in that line that got to me- the black humor, the irony of it But now when I see the T-shirt hanging in my locker. I wonder if its the ultimate tag line on this peculiar election year

This is a campaign of mysteries. The voters applaud Ronald Reagan s leadership,' even when they do not follow his lead on important questions They agree with Walter Mondale s stand on many policy matters but don t want him standing in the Oval Office.

The most glaring example of this paradox has to do with war With monotonous regulari- ty, the public rates nuclear war as its number one concern A full one-half of Americans sur- veyed believe that nuclear war will happen in their lifetime At the same time, most of the polls of this season have shown that the public is worried about Reagan s hand on the nuclear trigger

By any normal mathematical equation—one plus one equals two- this would add up to a landslide for Mondale But it isn't working that way In the new math of this election, the num- ber one negative- fear of war- is less impor tant than the number one positive—an im- proved economy

Is this Just proof of a national myopia cap- tured by the author of my T-shirt? After all. 50 percent of Americans under 30 Reagan s largest group of supporters, believe that an all out nuclear war is likely within ten years. Have they simply decided to drive a better car to the holocaust?

I don't think we are suffering from madness or that we've entirely lost the instinct for self- presevation. My sense is that voters simply can t grab onto the great, amorphous Number One Worry we call nuclear war" There is no concrete solution up for a vote What we have at the moment is a conern in search of an issue.

For a while, it looked as if the nuclear freeze would be the way to translate fear into political action It was and is a simple way of demand- ing No more But supporting the freeze has become, as one advocate admits just

another way of expressing anxiety." When a majority of delegates to the Republican National Convention simultaneously back a freeze and the President who opposes it the idea has lost some political meaning

When The Public Agenda Foundation looked into this gap between our private worries and our public politics, it found some consensus and some confusion Americans are absolutely clear on the dangers of nuclear war. and totally reject the notion that it could be limited or winnable We even reject the notion that

there are winners in the arms race In short, we agree on the worries.

„ But we are thoroughly conflicted about the nature of the Soviet threat how to negotiate with the USSR or how to defend ourselves in the nuclear age In short, we don't know what to do. And doing" is the business of politics

As the foundations president Dan Yan- kelovich. said. It s an enormous opportunity for what political leaders always look for. those concerns that haven't yet become an issue It gives them a chance to take leadership yet, as he agrees, they haven t taken that leader- ship

So far, the discussion about nuclear policy has gone on at two levels the level of anxieties expressed by The Day After or Red Dawn, and the level of technological jargon spoken by the cruise and MX missile experts In politics, it goes on from two sides. Reagan talks tough (in the nicest possible way) and Mondale talks freeze Reagan plays on fear of the Soviets and Mondale on fear of Reagan Many voters anxious and uncetain, turn the dial to find some easy listening

As Yankelovich said. 'You can't explain the fact that the arms race isn't the number one issue without some reference to the peculiar kind of national mood. It's like the public is tak- ing a holiday from negativity, from complexity, from the big mind-breaking questions"

If we can't get a grip on the questions, if we don't see clear choices and options, we con- centrate on something reassuring—the tem- porary good news of the economy But if there s anyone who really thinks we can take a holiday from the arms race. I have a T-shirt tailored just for you. Ellen Goodman is a syndicated columnist from Boston.

The Dally Campus. October 3, 1984 Page 9 ■ Letters The Greek experience goes deeper than partying

To the Editor:

Have you ever given serious thought to the pos- sibility of going Greek? I thought not. Well, in case you may have overlooked them, there are Greek organizations on this campus. Although they are not a major force in the formulation of university policy, they offer a wide range of extracurricular activities to the average student. Let me discredit the popular belief that Greeks are stupid beer drinkers, who do nothing but sit around. Just look down the hall in your own dorm, does it look any brighter?

Do you remember when you walked by that Fraternity house on the way hack from class' You heard loud music and saw people having a good time; and yes, saw an oc- casional dirty area around the house. Confirming popular belief these people (or Greeks as I prefer) know how to party and often invite the whole

campus. If you have never been to a ' frat" party you really haven"t had the whole UConn experience. But

please do not get me wrong; the Greek experience goes much deeper than a partying atmosphere.

Aside from the fun, a Greek organization can give you the opportunity to become in- volved, and to be distinctive amongst a crowd. For these organizations facilitate ones opportunity to develop one's natural leadership abilities. And by the same token, a Greek organization can instill or build a sense of leadership and familiarize oneself with the burden of responsibility. Furthermore, organizations of any nature develop a feeling—for the betterment of the whole. In an effort to break down such undesireable traits as selfishness and isolation which we all possess to vary- ing degrees.

Greek organizations can be a useful tool in meeting new

people. 'New people" being synonomous with "new friends' More often than not these are people of different temperaments, talents, and convictions. In brief, these are a variety of people all working together for .several reasons. To learn, have a good time, and perpetuate the cause of tlie organization These would- be Brothers are friends of life- long duration.

Don t let anyone fool you or 'liscourage you by portraying the pledge period as just shy of The Day After' experien- ce. What I mean is that it is not a cataclysmic event to pledge a Greek organization. No one is going to sever your ear or make you eat University food. Part of the fun of organizations of this nature is the pledge period. And an unforgettable and funny experience, I might add.

If you can find a moment between bustling to classes and General Hospital stop into a Greek House and ask

some questions. We know you are out there. Fraternities often do much for both the University and the communi- ty For instance there is a Fraternity on campus that raises money for the March of Dimes in the form of a beerfesl called Derby Day. Stop into a house and see if a fraternity has something to offer you and the University environ- ment. You have nothing to lose.

I am presently a member of

a very popular fraternity on campus. I do not regret for one minute through thick and thin, pledging the fraternity. It can be a lot of fun and you are guaranteed some weird times So keep your ears and eyes o|>en this semester so as to not miss any of the important announcements by various Greek organizations. It beats silting around with the same people day-in and day-out.

Sharpen elsewhere!

It was just a $250,000 error To the Editor.

I would like to point out an error in Wednesdays Daily Campus concerning funds for renovation of the Charles E. Waring Chemistry Building and the Life Science Building. The legislature has approved $274,000 for the proposed

1987 renovations of certain Chemistry Building labs, rather than the $27,000 reported.

Additionally, the discussion of renovations in the Life Science Building was incor- rectly attributed to me, rather than to David McCarthy. However, if Mr.

McCarthy can indeed renovate his Life Science Building labs for the approximate $196 per lab, as reported. I would be most eager for his advice on similar, economical renovations in our labs.

The main con- tributor to this noise is those pesty, little pencil sharpeners located about every two feet throughout the library. Are pencil sharpeners really ne- cessary in the library? Abso- lutely not. They are impossible to avoid. I am sur- prised that there aren't any in the restrooms. One never knows when one might need a sharp pencil in the bathroom. Are students so financially burdened that they cannot afford a tiny 69c pencil shar- pener.' Or do some people actually get some sort of cheap thrill out of aggravating hard working students?

While pencil sharpeners are the main contributors to noise pollution at the library there are also some other dis- tractions which must be no- ted. First, is the third floor social center( itjs likelbringing your books to Teds or Hus- kies on a Thursday night and then trying to study). I'm sur- prised that the university hasn't installed a juke-box on the third floor. How about the change machine-could they possibly be any noisier? The Mount Saint Helens eruption was quieter than the change machines in this library.

Perhaps a better name for this library would be the Bab- ble library. I must say that better controlls are necessary at the library in order to create the proper studying atmosphere. .After all.we are here to study.

ART COMMENTARY

Last Friday night I fin- ished working on the com- puter at about eleven-

o'clock. There were not any porno or horror mo- vies playing in the Life Science building that I could see and review. I decided to check out New Johny Five (NJ5) who were playing in the Student Union Ballroom.

I had never heard NJ5 before and they made a nice impression. They played with enthusiasm, verve and spirit. Their ly- rics were original, aggres- sive, and in the tradition of New Wave music. Unfor- tunately NJ5's music seemed to be made up of only one song which they played over and over in different variations. This is not unusual as many bands really just have one song which they make it on and they get locked in that styie.

rhere was a good crowd of whirling, swaying, sweating bodies out to emoy NJ.J. People seemed to be doing a UConn version of slam dancing which I can best describe as atavistic without contact or blood. Free Coke and Sprite were;given,away to re- place the dancer's water loss and to give their mouths something to do. Not much

talk went on in the crowd. After seeing NJ5 and

with not much happening at midnight at UConn, I decided to go to Ted's for a »{uart of Watney's and to view some of the, live art which can occasionally be found there. If I got lucky I might even have an inter- esting conversation

The beer was there, the beauty was not. and it did not seem luck or talk would be with me. The women looked as if their hair was cut by John Deere. Their make-up seemed to have been put on with all the skill of untrained monkeys, and their bodies resembled those of homun- culi. If they were not wearing the blue jean uniform, they tried to dress like Cyndii Lauper. The psuedo-CynditS had gobs of jewelry hanging off them, but they did not carry the original Cynd'i's playfulness or charm. And as usual the men were sartorially beneath the women. This was

my kind of place I crawled over to a clean,

badly lighted place at the bar and gratefully drank my beer. Lou Reed's wonderful lyric. Take a Walk on the Wild

Side," lulled me into a deserv- ing haze, and the beer tasted like paradise. Exhausted. I did not try to stop myself as I drif- ted off to sleep.

Suddenly I felt an elbow )ab me in the ribs. It was the woman next to me whom I had not paid attention to when I sat down. She yelled at me, "Hey, wake up. You're sleeping at the bar. What are you doing sleeping at a bar.' Why aren't you at home asleep with your wife?"

Startled, I jerked up straight. I knew I had been alseep but I did not remember if 1 had a wife at home. In horror I lo >ked at mv hands for a wedding ring. I have seen enough screwball comedies where men like me wake up from a snooze and

suddenly tney are married to some flashy blonde who had popped out of a cake. For- tunately my hands were bare, no bands of gold

I'm sorry. I have worked all day and I was tired'' I replied And the last I knew I have

never been married." " Well you're pretty sorry,

asleep alone at a bar," she said with disgust. Why don't you have a wife and family where you can go to sleep?"

Like a fit of flatulence, it hit me that my God, this woman is trying to pick me up. Given

her family values. ( which I intuited from her suavely yell- ing|in|my|ear|asking|wherejmy wife was. meaning am I avail- able) and my pathologically aesthetic ones. I realized that she would soon feel as if she had begun to try to pick up The Thing or one of the heros from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" if I continued to play along with her. I could not resist this opportunity.

What do you do here at UConn?', she asked

"I work with computers and medieval Italian poetry." I answered.

She blurted back. "My name is Tammi. I come from a iamily of six kids and I m never lonely. I don't fall asleep in bars."

Gee. your parents must be geniuses or Catholics. It is quite a unique talent to have six children. Art turns up in the darndest places."

With bug eyes she said 'Hey you're weird and sick, and asleep at a bar. You'll pro- bably never make any money and so will never be happy."

Money does not equal happiness, especially if you do not have the understanding to know how to enjoy it. Look at people who win lotteries. Money is the goal of their lives. Once they have it their meaning and eros for life is gone. They lose themselves because they never knew themselves. I am more con- cerned with imagination and beauty, the consolation of philosophy. I Jind you and your values obscene."

Look who's talking Is that why you're asleep on a bar.' You act as if you're'a lonely derelict You need security. You should have a job, money and family, then you wouldn't be passed out in a bar."

Talk about sexual harrass- ;nent, I hit back with, "Listen, I am not lonely. I live with my cat and I love my life I fell asleep because I was tired and comfortable. People I know who really pass out at bars usually have a job, money, and family. They are zonked out to escape from self-made prison of security. I am in- terested in art and how it attacks stupid middle class ideas of happiness like yours."

You intellectuals think you have all the answers. Well I've got news for you, you don't. You criticize everything and do nothing but. what queer poetry."

"Well what do you do?", I asked.

Oh Ive graduated from UConn and I teach art to children."

Alison Russo Mill be leading a double life By Nate Aldrich

Campus Correspondent For two weeks, Alison

Russo will be leading a double life-on stage. Like her seven fellow performers in A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine she will sing and dance her way through the

-golden age of cinema only to put on a completely different face for the show's second act A Night in the Ukraine is a delightful romp through pre- revolutionary Russia with the Marx Brothers. What makes Alison's job especially tough is that she, like the actresses before her-must play the roTe of Harpo Marx in the show's second half. Bringing Harpo's zany and complex brilliance to the stage is a task which Russo eagerly accepts.

Alison's desire to portray Harpo rises from the many challenges the role presents. When asked why her role is traditionally played by women while the roles of Groucho and Chico are filled by men, she replied, Actually...! don't really know. To a certain extent, it's supposed to be obvious that the actors aren't the Marx Brothers, but people portraying and interpreting the Marx Brothers.' She men- tioned that the song and dance requirements of the first act may also have moti- vated the gender reversal by saying the cast wouldn't be balanced otherwise." Alison herself finds that the device works well because to her Harpo was a little feminine ...poignant and childlike.but very funny."

For any actor, the oppor- tunity to portray a historical or well-known figure is rare

and unusually difficult Kussos main objective in A Night in the Ukraine is to give justice to what the man was about. Not to show how curly his hair was or to just mimic him The real challenge is to capture is essence'' When asked if any of this scared her as a perfor- mer, she said Yeah..it does. Harpo was such a chameleon. Every time I watch his film, I

see a different *ay he sat, a

different »vay he expressed himself. Everything that Harpo did was mind-boggling .that's what scares me."

Because her character is in perpetual motion, whether communicating through pan- tomime or just clowning around the physical demands of the role are great But according to Alison, "going into the second (Ukraine) is an exhausting experience for

everyone.because oi all the singing and dancing in the first act." When questioned whe- ther playing amute posed any problem, she laughingly re- plied that "after the first act (Hollywood) I think I'll be excited not to be shaking or

singing a note!! "4 Day in Hollywood'A

Bowie breaks boundaries

Alison Russo as the Nutmeg

Harpo" in Hollywood/Ukraine, now at

By Mark Frucht Staff Writer

David Bowie has come out of his shell. Last year he had sold himself out with a terribly commercial "Let's Dance:' but now he's back with a fine rock-n-roll record

Exerimenting with unusual ideas is Bowie's trademark Maybe last year was simply an experiment with unoriginality. Now that's all in the past

Bowie is constantly break- ing through|boundaries[or|at least redefining them. The first side of his newest album "Tonight." is very mellow. Almost mellow enough to turn a lot of listeners off. But if they hang on just long enough the B side is capable of returning a smile to bored faces.

The one hundred eighty degree turn from side one to side two was not an accident. Bowie is experimenting with by contrasting two different sides.

Four songs from this album are the result of a collabora- tion between Bowie and that old-time punker Iggy Pop. Bowie is also heard singing a duet entitled Tonight," with soul's queen, Tina Turner.

He does a mediocre job with the Beach Boys tune "God Only Knows." One will

never know if this was done purposefully or not. who knows what to expect from the creator of Ziggy Star- dust.

Carlos Alomar is still rock- n-roll guitarring for anyone interested with a song called Loving the Alien." As usual.

Bowie is hard to understand on the first 5 or 8 listenings. Is he making fun of religion or terrorism?

Side two starts off with Neighborhood Threat,

which is a real ear opener. From this pop collaboration, he moves to Blue Jean." Bowies newest single. It is another brain teaser which sounds as if it was inspired by Lou Reed. Blue Jean is a Latin lover who has a camouflaged face." a "police bike." and a turned up nose." Bowie is

very intrigued by her. Is this shades of Rebel Rebel?

"Tumble and Twirl" is fun- ky. Right after that. I keep Forgetting" is very un-funky. Dancing with The Big Boys"

is a rowdie tune that is hard to define. This is not unusual for a" space cadet" like Bowie.

No matter how much he changes, Bowie is unpredict- able and difficult to under- stand

just because they are without two players," Henni said

"I saw them play against LIU and they were outplayed in the second half,'' he said With a little more luck they

would have beaten UConn, but it's tough to win in front of the big crowd"

URI is led by forward Gil Monteiro who has scored four goals and assisted on two others this season The Rams need a win in New England to move up in the rankings.

The Huskies (7-4), ranked second in New England and 17 th in the country, must con- tend with a Ram team that has lots of speed

"Thev are traditionally very

skilled and very fast" coach Morrone said They always give us trouble wherever we play them"

UConn must not lose ano- ther game in New England or they might have trouble mak- ing the playoffs although the New England teams seem to be beating each other up— Harvard was beaten by BC, URI beat Brown, UMass beat Providence and Providence beat URI.

Husky notes The game will be broadcast

Field Hockey team visits Harvard By Matt Winans '

Campus Correspondent The UConn field hockey

team begins the second half of their season, today, as they travel to Cambridge, Massa- chusetts to play the Crimson of Harvard.

The Huskies enter todays contest sporting an 8-0 re- cord UConn is currently ran- ked number two in the nation and number one in New England as they start the second half on the road

After being idle for one week the Huskies return to action against a veteran club composed of mostly juniors and senirs. Scouting reports ndicate that Harvard has a strong defense in which they play man-to-man and posi- tion defense, featuring a freshman goalkeeper.

Coach Diane Wright does ot experct her team's week off to affect their play.

I don't think it will hurt us because we needed the rest at this point n the season. We do have some injuries but the one week lavoff has {riven us

enough time for our players to recover."

Among those hurt is senior co-captain Rose SmithSmith has missed the last two games due to a foot injury she suf- fered in the Providence game two weeks ago.

"We expect Rosie to be back in the lineup today, but I'm not sure she will start. She did practice with the team yesterday and everything appears to be alright," Wright said.

With - Harvard's pressure defense, the Huskies will have to employ their ball control and pressure offense to keep the tempo of the game in their favor. "We're going to have to encourage more diagonal movement from our forwards to keep the pressure on their defense and especially their freshman goalkeeper,' Wright said

The Huskies are eager to start the second half of the season because it's one step closer to getting to the Final Four.' From here on in, every game is important and the

Huskies will have to stay sharp if they want to stay on top in the East as well.

With their injuries and up- coming road trip, the Huskies can not afford to over-look the possibility of stress or anxiety within the team. Mid- term examinations are in full swing which might cause unecessary problems on the team. However, Coach Wright doesn't exect anyone will have too much trouble in their academic adjustment.

Exams might affect some of our younger players but I don't think the upper- classmen will be affected,' said Wright. I think that our captains and seniors will be a great help in assisting our freshman and sophomore players in handling their studies."

After Harvard, the Huskies return home to play Penn state on Saturday, OcL 6 a 1:00 p.m. at the new field hoc- key field here on campus. Once again, admission is free and students are encouraged to watch UConn in action.

... Football team From bark page remaining conference games while BU would have to lose two out of three.

Bowes feels, though, that BU will not go undefeated in the con- ference like the Terriers did last season. T would be highly sur- prised if anyone goes undefeated this year,' he said BU didn t beat us We gave them the game. We had an 80 yard touchdown called back by a penalty and we fumbled in the fourth quarter on the five yard line"

Looking ahead to UConn, Bowes felt that the Huskies defense has been surprisingly strong this year." I felt that BU had the best defense in the conference coming into the season, but I'm not sure of that anymore, he said.

When a team gives up only 33 points in four games like UConn has, opposing teams take notice. The defense did suffer a major loss against the Elis Saturday when starting linebacker Ed Mic- klovic injured a knee. Micklovic may miss the rest of the season The Huskies, however, do have a capable backup in Bob Chris- tian!, who won the linnebacking position last spring but lost it to Micklovic after missing most of summer practice with a pulled hamstring.

If the Huskies defense can continue to shut down opponents like it has the past four weeks, they will have a winning season. And they also might finally reach their two most elusive goals.

• •• Darck leaves From back page

The six-foot, seven-inch Darck came to the University in the fall of 1983 after being recruited by head coach Dom Perno. He took courses this past summer and had not returned home since he first arrived at the school.

Darck is the fifth player to leave the team since the con- clusion of last season. For- ward Larry Blucher withdrew before the end of last semes- te. Guards Vicente Ithier and Peter Coolidge decided to concentrate on academics, and John Milum. a top recruit was not admitted to the Uni- versity because of insufficient high school grades.

Perno is out of town for the week and could not be reached for comment.

Basketball player leaves team By Jim Acton Sports Editor

Rodney Darck, a redshirted basketball player who was expected to begin playing with UConn this season, has withdrawn from the Univer- sity and returned to his na- tive Africa

According to officials in the athletic department, Darck cited personal and political

reasons for leaving the school last week He lives in Queque, Zimbabwe, a region of Africa that has recently been involved in a civil war. and his family lives in the region.

The 23-year-old forward was a pre-business major in the School of Liberal Arts and had worked as an insurance salesman in Zimbabwe before coming to the University. He

would have begun practicing with the team next month.

"Rodney was a very good student and worked extreme- ly hard," Dick Holub, the Academic Coordinator for Athletics said "His decision to leave the school had nothing at all to do with academics. He passed all of his courses last year" &* page 15

Soccer team takes on URI in important New England match

By Mark Pukalo Associate Sports Editor The men's soccer team

faces a severe test today when they play Rhode Island at 3 p.m. in Storrs.

Not only are the Huskies playing the number four team in New England but they will more than likely be without two of their top players.

Leading scorer Matt Addington and co- captain Eric Myren will probably sit out the game barring a late decision from the NCAA over- turning the red cards they received Sunday against LIU. A red card this year means not only ejection from the game, but susDension from the next

match. Coach Joe Morrone is questioning the ruling be- cause the rule has not been enforced in some cases.

Whatever happens the Huskies face stiff opposition in URI. The Rams (5-3), have defeated Brown 2-1 in over- time, U.S. International 1-0, Stonehill 3-1. Maine 3-1 and Rhode Island College 6-0 while they lost to two of the top seven teams in the nation (see national top 20 story) Fairleigh Dickinson 71 and Penn State 3-0 along with state rival Providence 1-0.

Without Myren and Adding- ton the Huskies will have to get help from the bench. E.J. Raftery, who didn't start Sun-

day against LIU, will probably be in there a lot.

"I sometimes get a little lazy out there and coach sees it," Raftery said 'I want to start but it was a good idea to sit me down for a game or two to get me going."

Jim Forgette, Wayne Churyk, Santiago Vigil and Santiago Borja will also see more ex- tended action than they might have if Addington and Myren were playing.

Rhode Island coach Geza Henni thinks that UConn will be tough regardless of who is on the field

"UConn always has a lot of depth so we can't let down

Cubs pummel Padres CHICAGO (AP)—Gary Matthews hit two home runs to lead a

record- breaking parade of five Chicago homers as the Cubs clob- bered the San Diego Padres 13-0 Tuesday in the first game of the best-of-fiye National League Championship Series.

Besides Matthews, the Cubs got home runs from Bob Dernier, Ron Cey and Rick Sutcliffe, who had a 16-1 record with Chi- cago.

Dernier, who scored three runs, and Matthews, who had four RBI, hit solo homers off Padres' right-hander Eric Show for the. Cubs' first two runs in the first Sutcliffe hit a leadoff homer in the third and Matthews added a three-run homer in a six-run fifth during which the Cubs sent 12 men to the plate against reliever Greg Harris. Cey hit is fourth career playoff homer in the sixth inning

The five homers broke a League Championships Series record accomplished four times previously, twice in each league.

Sutcliffe, traded to the Cubs June 13 from the Cleveland Indians, yielded only singles to Steve Garvey and Garry Tem- pleton, struck out eight and walked five in seven inninus

Football team ready for Yan Con race

By Dana Gaurauder Sports Editor

Now that the football team had laid the Yale Bowl jinx to rest once and for all, the Huskies can now concentrate on two other goals which have eluded them in the past: winning the con- ference outright and making the playoffs.

. UConn has never been to the playoffs and the team has not won the Yankee Conference outright since 1973. The Huskies have been coming closer and closer to reaching these goals, tying for the conference championship the last two seasons. But UConn still has not gained the automatic bid to the Division I-AA playoffs that goes to the conference winner.

This week the Huskies begin conference play against New Hampshire(3-1 overall, 1-1 in the conference). UConn(2-2), has won the last two meetings between the two clubs, 9-7 in 1983 and 20-17 in 1982.

rhe game between them last year included the most memor- able play of the Husky season. UConn quarterback Larry Corn scored on the last play of the game on a six-yard rua Corn was hit at the one yard line and flipped head over cleats into the end zone to give UConn the win.

The Wildcats chances of gaining revenge this season were severely impaired when standout running back Andre Garron injured his left knee in a 38-10 UNH win over DartmouthGarron received an arthroscopic check Tuesday and he is expected to miss the rest of the seasoa

Wildcat head coach Bill Bowes, though, is not despairing, especially since backup tailback Scott Perry ran 112 yards on 23 carries after Garron left the game "Some people were saying that New Hampshire is a one man team, but I think we dispelled that last week," Bowes said "One of our greatest strengths is our offensive line and we have moved the ball against every team we've played this year. So we're not just a one man football team."

Losing an outstanding tailback like Garron, who had already gained 625 yards and scored eight touchdowns, will hurt UNHs already diminishing chances of winning the conference title The Wildcats one loss came against defending conference champion Boston University 21-20. BU is 2-0 overall in conference play, so for UNH to beat out BU the Wildcats would have to win their

Tigers club Royals KANSAS CITY (AP)—Alan Trammell sparked the Detroit attack by driving in three runs with a homer, triple and single as the Tigers ripped the Kansas City Royals 8-1 in the opening game of the American League Championship Series Tuesday night.

Trammell, who also walked twice in reaching base all five times he came to the plate, smacked an RBI-triple to key a two-run first inning and starter Jack Morris made it stand up.

The Tigers will try for a second victory in the best-of- five series Wednesday night when they send Dan Petry against 20-year-old rookie Bret Saberhagea Petry was 18-8 this year while Saber- hagen was 10-11 - but 3-1 against Detroit

Morris retired the first seven Royals and had a 3-0 lead before Don Slaught singled cleanly in the third An out later, Willie Wilson also singled and after Pat Sheridan fouled off two full- count pitches and then walked to load the bases, Morris faced his biggest challenge

From then oa Morris 19-11 during the seasoa was in com- mand He set down nine consecutive batters until Jorge Orta led off the seventh with a triple and scored on Dairy! Motley's groun- dout for Kansas City's only rua making it 5-1.
