'Nova Strives for gender equityBy SEAN KELLYSports Editor

The University^!s_jAthleticDepartment launched a five-year-

plan this fall that will enhancegender equity in athletics on this

campus.Three major adjustments to

Wildcat athletics will be taken

that include moving scholarships

from men's programs to women'sprograms, placing a participation

cap on some of the men's programs

and increasing the number of

women's sports programs at the

varsity level, said Gene DeFilippo,

director of Athletics.

These refinements are evident

in men's swimming which is

moving from a scholarship pro-

gram to a non-scholarship pro-

gram, ice hockey and men's water

polo which are moving from the

varsity level to the club level and

women's crew and water polo

which are moving from the club

level to the varsity level, said

DeFilippo.

The Title DC legislation act that

gained increasing attention during

the late 1970's was originally

formulated to secure equal oppor-

tunity for female athletes. In 1972,

the Supreme Court decided in

the Grove City case that any

institution receiving federal aid

must offer equal opportunities for

female athletes.

The 1972 decision by the

Supreme Court left too muchroom for varying interpretations.

Because private institutions oper-

ate independent from the federal

government, they mistakenly

assumed that they were able to

that all institutions match their

male and female athletics partic-

ipation rate with their ratios in

overall enrollment. Scholarships

must also begiven in substantially

equal total amounts. Villanova's

enrollment is very close to anequal ratio; therefore, the athletic regardsparticipation rate must be 50percent male and 50 percentfemale.

"The first thing we have to

realize is that gender equity is not

only an issue at Villanova," said

Defilippo, "Rather, it's somethingthat most every school in the

country is facing right now," he

added.

The University's decision not to

hesitate any longer in enhancinggender equity was made, in part,

as an effort to avoid any possible

legal problems in the futureinvolving Title IX, said Defilippo.

Resolving this issue is whatDeFilippo and other members of

his 10 person gender equity advi-

sory committee are certain is the

fair thing to do for the womenathletes on this campus, DeFilippo

said.

"Gene and this athletic depart-

ment are trying to be p?:o-active

so that we don't wait for legisla-

tion to force us to do somethingor we don't wait for the courts to

force us to do something," said

Senior Associate Athletic Direc-

tor, John Bostick. "We're doing

what we see as best for the

institution at this time."

"We wanted to be pro-active

and do what was right," said

DeFilippo. "We believe that weneed to be fair; fair with regard

to DeFilippo, to start dropping andadding entire sports programs like

many of the nation's schools havedone over the last few years in aneffort to conform to Title IXlegislation. Nevertheless, the 50/

"I'm not a racist. I have friends

from minority groups, so I am not

similar to this one are often used

to justify racist remarks, these

excuses were refuted at a panel

Feminist

perceptions

exploredBy KATE SZUMANSKIEditor-in-Chief

A panel discussion sponsored bythe Women's Studies Programand the Villanova Feminist Coa-lition (VFC) titled, "What is

Feminism? Why does it scare

you?," was held Wednesday, Oct.

5 in Tolentine Hall Room 215 to

explore the varying definitions

and perceptions of feminism as

well as the stereotypes and mythsassociated with feminism.

Co-chair of the VFC, KellyBeissel, introduced the panelists

and outlined the goals of theevening's discussion. Panelmembers included Dr. Seth Kov-en, history professor; Dr. BarbaraE. Wall, O.P., director of theCenter for Peace and JusticeEducation and philosophy profes-

sor; Dr. Gaile Pohlhaus, religious

studies professor; Dr. CherylAsher, economics professor; Dr.

Carol Anthony, philosophy profes-

sor and the VFC advisor; and Dr.

Sally Scholz, philosophyprofessor.

Feminism does not conform to

a fixed definition, said Beissel.

Therefore, it is highly personal

and fluid in nature. The night's

discussion was designed to dispel

the many myths and stereotypes

associated with feminism, sheadded.

After Beissel concluded heropening remarks, the panelists

briefly presented their personal

views and interpretations of fem-

inism. A question and answersession followed the panelists'

presentations.

"Students often say, 'Well, I'm

not a feminist, but . ..,' " said

Koven in his opening remarks.Being feminist is not shameful;

yet many students at the Univer-

sity, perhaps even more than at

other colleges and universities

across the country, are ashamedto be feminist, he said.

Gradually, feminism becamedefined as anti-family and anti-

children. Feminism was consi-

dered an "anti-human way womengain power at the expense of social

good," said Koven.Feminists, however, have seen

the family as a key sight for

identity and growth throughout

PORT-AU-PRINCE. Haiti— American military patrols

rolled through Haiti's capital

searching for weapons at a

border outpost and hundredsmore at a paramilitary training

base.

In another sign of change,

the voice of exiled President

Jean-Bertrand Aristide washeard on state radio for the

first time in years. State media,

which banned his voice, wereunder the control of Haiti's

coup leaders until Americantroops seized the installations

Friday.

The U.S. troops are chargedwith providing stability andsecurity in Haiti during the

transition period before Oct.

15, when the nation's topmilitary leaders are to resign,

making way for Aristide's

return.

PHILADELPHIA - In anacademic version of a money-back guarantee, an Allentowncommunity college is promis-ing that if its graduates aren't

up to snuff when they join theworkforce or transfer to a four-

year school, they can be sentback and educated again — for

free.

"It's not really money-back.It's education-back," saidJames Davis, president of

Lehigh Carbon CommunityCollege (LCCC), which hasjoined a short list of two-yearschools nationwide makingsuch a pledge.

Starting next July, studentswho have earned an associate's

degree in the career-training or

academic-degree programswith at least a C average, andhave completed English, mathand prerequisites within thefirst 30 credit hours will becovered by the Academic Gua-rantee Policy.

JOHANNESBURG - In anupscale section of Soweto, a

primary-school principal cow-ers inside her spacious home,afraid to go to work, afraid to

confront her accusers.

Nearly a month has passed

since she and 34 other princi-

pals were "expelled" from their

schools in this black township

by a coalition of angry teachers

and militant students.

Offering no proof, the mobacqused the principals of steal-

ing school supplies — a charge

they deny. At least one prin-

cipal was threatened withdeath, and another was briefly

held hostage, leaving the rest

too fearful to defy the mob.

In the years of struggle

against white domination in

South Africa, civil disorder of

this sort was considered a

potent weapon by black insur-

gents. But nearly six monthsafter the elections that buried

the last remnants of official

apartheid, such tactics are still

being used — much to. the

dismay of Nelson Mandela, the

country's first black president.

FLINT, Mich. - Autoworkers at a key GeneralMotors Corp. plant were backto work after GM promised to

hire hundreds of new workers.

The workers voted to end the

four-day strike that was called,

they said, because they werebeing forced to build too manycars with too few people.

The strike at the Buick City

complex had threatened to

disrupt GM operations nation-

wide. It caused parts shortages

that closed several other GMplants, and the company'ssupply lines are expected to

take a few days to return to

normal.

history, Koven said. Feminists

realized "the structure of private

life was linked to the structure of

social life."

Feminists more properly iden-

tify women as seeking to create

worlds within their own images,

Koven said. "Feminists are so

slippery because they do so muchpolitical and social work in society;

feminisms have done the work of

challenging authority associated

with inequality and oppression."

In order to understand modern

feminism, it is important to under-

stand feminism's longstanding

history. Feminism confronts an

enormous burden in modern times

and "has not always succeeded in

clarifying itself to the world raised

on soundbites of the 80s," said

Koven.Following Koven's presenta-

tion, shared her views of femi-

nism. "Feminism is a broad spec-

trum of thought embracing a wide

range of interests," said Scholz.

The question of human dignity

should be the focus of modernfeminism.

Scholz explained that a variety

of feminisms exist, including

traditional Marxist feminism,liberal feminism, cultural femi-

nism, social feminism and radical

feminism. All feminisms need to

be grounded in mutual respect,

she added.

Following Scholz, Pohlhausdelivered her remarks. "I believe

in the equality of all humanbeings," she said. "And this is

why I remain a feminist. Femi-nism serves to liberate not only

women, but also men."Anthony described feminism as

"an incredible opportunity for

growth and development." Sheexplained that much anxiety is

based on growth and transforma-tion. "This is both exciting andscary; it offers ourselves thegreatest opportunity to changeourselves and the world."

Feminism is for all women andis not anti-men, said Asher. "Fem-inism helps men and womenrealize where women have comefrom. It questions a society that

says women have to become morelike men to be successful. Thenegative connotations of feminismstem from the way some womenexpress their frustrations andideas," she added.

Wall focused on the spirituality

that informs feminism. "Thefeminism we are struggling to

bring about in terms of a newworld order make[s] it possible for

experienced racism to understand

the feeling of isolation felt byminority students. Never having

a Caucasian friend before college,

Mai was excited about meeting

new people at Villanova until her

orientation group made her feel

uncomfortable, and she beganfeeling out of place on campus.Similarly, Sneha Patel felt alie-

nated even before arriving at

orientation because her designat-

ed roommate requested a roomtransfer when she realized that

Sneha was Indian. These disturb-

ing stories were told in order to

acquaint the audience .with the

various types of racism that

students experience on campus so

that the issue could be redressed.

"If you can't accept different

types of people," said Mai, "you're

going to have a difficult time in

the re^l world because Villanova

is nothing like the real world."

Several audience membersarose valid points. The main idea

stressed was that racism affects

everyone, and no one shouldsilently allow it to continue.

"This affects all of us," said

Ann Regan. "We need to reach out

to our groups of friends and make -

everyone more aware of [racism].

There are too many apathetic

people here!"

"We all need to come together

to make it better for everyone,"

said Ray Chablani of INCAR,"because in doing that, we canmake it better for ourselves."

Although many students are frus-

trated with the presence of racism

on campus, there have beenchanges over the past few years,

and INCAR hopes that the pro-

gress will continue. Any students

interested in joining INCAR mayattend meetings on Mondays at 5

p.m. in the Center for Peace andJustice.

VFL lecture stirs controversyByJONATHAN KLICKAssistant News Editor

Villanovans for Life (VFL) spon-

sored a lecture for Respect Life

Week given by Michael McMon-agle on Oct. 5. McMonagle, a 1974

graduate of the United States

Naval Academy and former naval

nuclear engineer, was introduced

by the Reverend Denis Wilde,

O.S.A. as a "stalwart" of the pro-

life movement in Pennsylvania.

McMonagle started the Southeast-

ern Pennsylvania Pro-Life Coali-

tion in 1982 and was involved in

the early stages of Operation

Rescue, according to Wilde. Wilde

said, "He lives his convictions,

and they run deeply," noting that

McMonagle had often been jailed

for his attempts to block entrances

to abortion clinics.

"We're losing [the fight against

abortion] big time," said McMon-agle to open his lecture. He wenton to say that 32 million children

have been killed by abortion since

the 1973 Supreme Court decision

of Roe vs. Wade. Also, he claimed

that three out of 10 children in

America are born out of wedlock.

"[We] have taught our youth that

God's gift of human sexuality is

just another recreational tool," hesaid. He continued by propoundingthat the abortion rights suppor-

ters imply, through their beliefs,

that it is acceptable to use violence

to curb social problems.

McMonagle presented a 1980

film entitled "A Matter of Choice."The film told the story of a

California reporter who investi-

gated the two sides of the abortion

issue. On the pro-abortion side,

one of the abortionists interviewed

expressed the Malthusian belief

that the procedure is an important

population control measure. Tak-ing the pro-life position, U.SRepresentative Henry Hyde com-pared Roe vs. Wade to the 1857

Dred Scott decision in whichslaves were likened to cattle andtherefore had no human rights.

The film contained footage of a

suction al)ortion in which the

fetus is removed wit5>a vacuumand a saline solution abortion

during which the woman is inject-

ed with the solution, and the fetus

is then removed. Testimonials

were given by women on both

sides of the issue who had hadabortions.

Online services offer

scholarship information

By MELISSA LEEAssistant News Editor

The University's Office of Finan-

cial Aid encourages students to

utilize a new on-line service

program to search for available

financial assistance oppor-

tunities.

The University has purchased

the College Aid Sources for Higher

Education (CASHE) program from

Natwnal College Services, said

Stephen Magliocco, financial aid

counselor. This free service allows

students to search for various

scholarships, loans, fellowships

and employment opportunities in

order to assist with funding their

college careers.

Students interested in the ser-

vice should visit the Financial Aid

Office located on the second floor

of Kennedy Hall. CASHE forms

must be obtained from the office

and may be completed in the

office. Once the form is completed,

the information is entered into a

computer. Results usually take

two weeks to be processed. Stu-

dents may elect to pick up results

or have them mailed, said Magli-

occo. There are no guarantees for

results.

"Roughly 700-800 students haveused the service in two years,"

Magliocco said. Surveys had beendistributed in order to evaluate

the service, but only a handful of

responses were returned.

"The service seems to havebeen generally appreciated, but it

is difficult to tell unless students

come back and let us know," said

Magliocco. Out of 50 surveysreturned, only two were negative.

The highest number of matchesencountered was 48, and the

lowest was five. The average is

between 15 and 20 matches,. he

added.

Once matches are made and the

student is notified, it is the

student's responsibility to contact

the agencies that may offer assist-

ance opportunities. Students are

given all pertinent information in

order to touch base with the

agency, Magliocco said.

One disadvantage of the CASHEservice is that "a majority of all

scholarships are granted to high

school students. It is difficult for

matriculated students," said

Magliocco.

However, Magliocco stressed

that it is a free service and still

encouraged students to complete

a CASHE form.

oned McMonagle about recent

situations in which anti-abortion

activists have been convicted of

murdering abortionists. McMon-agle compared the murders to

using force to stop violence against

bom children, but he added that

such practices are ineffective in

the movement and create bad

publicity. He said that he believes

it is more important to persuade

mothers to choose alternatives to

McMonagle blamed the abortion

society. To support this, he quoted

While most students are head-

ing home for a relaxing semester

break, a select group of students

will be dedicating their time fromOct. 15-23 to helping those less

fortunate through the CampusMinistry Fall Break ServiceTrips.

According to Barbara Haenn,coordinator of the Villanova Volun-

teers Program, six trips have beenorganized this year. Their pur-

poses range from providing relief

to natural disaster victims across

the United States to helpingothers from third world nations.

Close to 80 students will bevolunteering their services in anyone of five domestic locations:

Philadelphia, the Bronx, Ken-tucky, Georgia and Los Angeles,

or in Merida, Mexico, an area of

the Yucatan.The closest trip will be to the

St. Francis Inn in Philadelphia

where students will help memt)ersof the Franciscan order at a soupkitchen and thrift store. CampusMinistry has always worked close-

ly with the local soup kitchen,

assisting people from the Kensing-

ton area.

"The people at St. Francis are

always happy to see Villanova

students," Haenn said. Volunteers

will stay in a guest house at the

inn for the week and will either

sleep on a bed or the floor. TheRev. Jack McAtee, O.S.A. is the

chaperone for the trip.

Another trip will be made to

Glenmary Farm in Vanceburg,Kentucky where about 22 stu-

dents, along with Beth Hasselfrom Campus Ministry and the

Rev. Art Chappell, O.S.A. from

the department of Religious Stu-

dies, will work with area mission-

aries providing home repair and

service work. While in Glenmary,

the volunteers will stay in a large

barn with no shower facilities.

In addition, many of the area

homes are not equipped withindoor plumbing, but instead use

outhouse facilities. "Ironically,

this trip has the most primitive

accommodations, but the missions

in Glenmary want the volunteers

to get a real feel about what it is

like to live there," said Haenn. In

return for serving the economical-

ly poor, Haenn said that the

missions are committed to teach-

ing the volunteers about the

culture of the region.

The same kind of mission com-mitment occurs in Merida, Mexicowhere about six students, accom-

panied by Steve Pugliese, assist-

ant to the dean of Students for

Judicial Affairs, will also help

villagers with home repair andservice work. Volunteers will be

staying in a simple guest housein Merida but will be able to

experience first hand how Mayanvillagers live in homes with adobe

walls, thatched roofs and mudfloors. "It is important to the

Mayans that Americans don't

descend upon their village.

Instead, they want the Mayans to

descend upon the Americans,"said Haenn. The permanent mis-

sion staff in Merida will act as

translators for the volunteers, but

Haenn noted that most membersof the group are practically fluent

in Spanish.

fourth service trip to the Bronx,

New York where 10 students will

work through the St. AngelaMerici parish.

"We will be doing many differ-

ent things from feeding the people

on the streets of Manhattan to

painting and repairing homes for

shut-ins to tutoring grade school

children," said Jackson. Thevolunteers are also expected to

work closely with some local

community outreach programs."It is definitely a great experience

for students to do this type of

volunteer work," added Jackson.

While most of the service trips

were organized by late August of

this summer, two of the trips,

which will provide assistance to

earthquake victims in Los Angeles

and flood victims in Georgia, werestudent initiated.

" I have been very impressedwith the student enthusiasmtoward these trips," said Haenn.Kristen Anderson and Bill Hyde,the student leaders for the Cali-

fornia trip, have played a crucial

role in the organization of the trip.

Sally Scholz of the PhilosophyDepartment will join the studentleaders and 11 other students asthey help to rebuild homes in theSan Fernando Valley. .

A group of about 19 more volun

insurance and a stipend of $5 aday. The money saved by theschools is then used for scholar- „ .

ships for students whose parents teers, accompanied by philosophycould not afford to send their professor Kevin Miles, will workchildren to parochial schools with the Salvation Army in the

First Lutheran Church of Albany,

order to assist with the early

stages of house repair such asdrywalling and layingfoundations.

Mike O'Brien, a student leader

for the trip said, "Those who don't

necessary know a lot about build-

ing houses still do fine."

In order to be chosen as avolunteer for the service trips,

students were rûired to attendinformation sessions and manda-tory meetings. Students were also

required to fill out an application.

The applications were objectively

reviewed " and students wereselected as volunteers. "Thenumber of students selected is

determined by the site of the trip,"

said Haenn.A great deal of the funding for

the trips comes from the students'own pockets, said Haenn. Manyof the service trips conduct fund-raisers to help with travel andfood expenses for the week. Inaddition, students often writeletters of sponsorship to local

parishes requesting funding in

exchange for education seminars."This kind of fundraiser h^s arippling effect that spreads thevolunteer service beyond theVillanova campus," said Haenn.

Overall, Haenn said that thevolunteer experience is a veryworthwhile one, not only for thepeople receiving the help but also

for the students providing theservice.

VFL lecture focuseson abortion(Continuedfrom page 3)

percent of married pregnancies.He went on to say that 83 percentof abortions are performed onunmarried women, and 44 percentare repeat patients. A member ofthe audience raised the notionthat implicit in the pro-abortionargument is a subtle racism,saying that many of the reasonsgiven for abortion are aimed at

minorities, such as crime andwelfare reduction. McMonagleaddressed this by saying demogra-phics show that the wealthy areamong the strongest abortionsupporters. He furthered this ideaby adding that Margaret Sanger,the founder of Planned Parent-hood, often promoted the conceptthat society needs "more childrenfrom the fit; less children from theunfit." McMonagle called this the"heart and soul of abortion."

"Whenever you deal with abor-

tion, the rules change in favor of

the pro-abortion side," McMona-gle said. He claimed that themedia and the judiciary are heav-ily in favor of abortion, but heexpressed a hopeful belief that

within the next decade, Ameri-cans will "open up to the pro-life

message." To gain support,McNfonagle advocated a slowapproach in which small, incre-

mental gains are made on the

abortion front. He also expressed

support for programs that educate

people on the effects abortion hason women.McMonagle voiced dissatisfac-

tion about his belief that pro-lifers

are less committed tha^ pro-

abortion advocates. He used Pen-nsylvania Governor Bob Casey asan example. Casey, a pro-life

supporter, named Harris Wofford,a pro-abortion supporter, interimstate senator. McMonagle blamedthis lack of commitment on peo-

ple's unwillingness toget involvedin controversy and on the framing

' of the issue. He urged the crowdto get involved on the grassrootslevel and said, "Nurture your ownchildren to be pro-life."

Press Release

Villanova Emergency Medi-cal Service (VEMS) reportsthat it has answered a recordnumber of medical calls so far

this semester. Since the begin-

ning of freshman orientation in

late August through Oct. 1, theall-volunteer group has an-swered over 100 calls for med-ical assistance. This numbercan best be put in perspectiveby comparing it to the group'stotals for last year at this time.During the entire fall 1993semester, VEMS responded to

80 calls; based on the high-call

volume seen so far this year,the group can expect to answerover 250 calls by Christmasbreak.

"You can never predict howmany calls you will see on agiven day, but lately it's apretty sure bet that you'regoing to see some action," saidJoe Palfini, a junior Nursingmajor and the group's captain."It's hard to believe that wemay answer more calls this fall

than all of last year combined."This has presented some

challenges to the group'sbudget which is entirelyderived from the fund-raising

efforts of its members. "Sincewe do not charge the patients

for our services, we are spend-ing more money on supplies

than ever before," he addeid.

Brian Herrick, the advisor of

VEMS, said that the addition

of over 600 upperclassmen in

the West Campus apartmentshas kept the group busy."Apartment living poses somepotential hazards such asburns and cuts from cookingin the kitchen." The group hasresponded to a wide variety of

calls so far this year. "We see

everything from sprains andcuts to more serious problemssuch as diabetic emergenciesand respiratoryv problems,"added Herrick. At last week-end's football game, VEMS andthe Department of PublicSafety treated two victims whoreceived severe bums when a

propane tank exploded.

Students visit Phiiadeiphia museumsBy JONATHAN KLICKAssistant News Editor

The eighth annual College Dayon the Parkway was held Satur-

day, Oct. 1. The event allows

college students to take advantageof the museums and cultural

exhibits located on the BenjaminFranklin Parkway in Philadelphia

free of charge. The centers taking

part in the day were the Academyof Natural Sciences, the Franklin

Institute Science Museum, the

Free Library of Philadelphia, the

Paley/Levy Galleries at MooreCollege of Art and Design, the

Philadelphia Museum of Art andthe Rodin Museum.For the first five years, only the

Art Museum sponsored the event,

said Glenn Tomlinson of the

education department of theMuseum of Art.

This year, WDRE FM joined the

sponsors. WDRE provided public-

ity and gave away shirts and CDs,he added.

In addition to the regular exhib-

its of the cultural centers, manyspecial programs were instituted

for the day. The Museum of Art

presented a collection of Japanesedesign art from the 1950s. Twofolk music recording artists, Jen-

nie Avila and Amy Torchia, per-

formed at the Museum as well,

said Tomlinson.The Academy of Natural Sci-

ences presented "The Dig: Dino-

saur Adventures." A college finan-

cial aid workshop was provided bythe Free Library of Philadelphia.

Tours of the library were also

available. The Paley Gallery exhi-

bited the work of artist anddesigner Dan Friedman under thetitle of "Radical Modernism." JimQuinn's collection of EasternEuropean art entitled "PealingWalls" was also exhibited. Thephotography of Mei-Ling Hom,"Pictures of Asia," was on display.

The Rodin Museum, which housesone of the world's largest collec-

tions of the artist's work, offered

tours. The planetarium at the

Franklin Institute presented"UFO's: Visions or Visitations?,"

and the omniverse featured a

program on the Grand Canyon.The attendance of College Day

on the Parkway was estimated

between 3,000 and 3,500 students,

said Tomlinson. The program is

open to anyone with a college ID,

he added.

Senate caucus formedPress Release

This academic year marksthe inaugural year of theSenate Caucus. The SenateCaucus is under the auspices

of the Student GovernmentAssociation (SGA) and will

serve as a bi-weekly forumbetween the nine SGA Sena-

tors. Issues affecting the Uni-

versity at large as well as

matters pertaining to the

respective college will often

serve as discussion subjects.

The primary purpose of the

Senate Caucus is to increase

communication between the

Arts, Commerce and Finance,

Engineering, Sciences andNursing Senators. Too often a

lack of communication on sim-

ple issues such as strategy for

a legislative matter before the

University Senate or publicity

for an SGA forum unravels all

of the hard work put into the

matter. A Senate Caucus will

alleviate such instances while

allowing Senators to becomemore familiar with the happen-ings in the colleges which they

do not represent. The sharedinformation across college lines

will help in cooperative projects

between different cdlleges andbenefit the University as a

whole.

Creating the Senate Caucusis a bold move by the SGAensured to facilitate commun-ication among Senators. TheCaucus will further allow SGASenators to work together in

what promises to be a produc-

tive year. Student Senatorsinclude Arts: Stacey McArdle,Tara Malloy and MichaelO'Brien; Commerce andFinance: BillJanci, Sneha Patel

and Alan Kennedy; Nursing:Angie Tripoli; Sciences: JasonMiller; and Engineering: GinaDeRosa. Arts Senator O'Brieninitiated the creation of the

Senate Caucus.

LETTERSCrime bill cohmwist ntbed lif erring eritie

To the Editor:

For the past three semesters,

the insightful commentary of the

"Patterson Perspective" hasgraced the pages of the Villa-

novan. Numerous times have Mr.Patterson's political opinions beenvindicated by the "ever-

vacillating" Clinton admin-istration.

Sadly, however, some object to

Mr. Patterson's hard-hitting style.

In a very disturbing Sept. 23editorial, one Mr. Anthony G.Campisi accuses the columnist of

a "lack of perspective" in assess-

ing, among other things, theClinton Crime Bill.

After casting aspersions, that

Mr. Patterson's interests lie solely

in partisan politics, Mr. Campisistates that crime is "a sad bypro-

duct of the Republican party's warwith people, on behalf of powerful

special interests." This is a baf-

fling conclusion when one consid-

ers that George Bush's Compre-hensive Crime Bill waspigeonholed .in a Democrat-controlled Congress. Perhaps Mr.

Campisi would have our represen-

tatives agree to faulty legislation

in the grand spirit of compromise.

Mr. Patterson acknowledgesthe dire need for proper andeffective anti-crime measures, but

the bill in question does little to

combat offenders. Rather it seeks

to coddle to the victimization

mentality which has infected our

inner cities. In fact, the bill creates

the exception of the Cafe Metro.

The numerous Cafe Metro sup-

porters have signed a petition

asking for a Wildcard machine so

that we could avoid suffering the

"excuse for coffee" sold at Dining

Services locations when we don't

have the cash to buy it at Cafe

Metro. Although that coffee is not

actually undrinkable, it is not

nearly as good as Cafe Metro's

coffee.

Cafe Metro is privately owned,

but it is not competition for

Dining Services since it is the only

location for Cappucino, Espresso

and other strong, rich coffees. It

has also become an essential part

of many Villanovans' daily rou-

tine, not to mention a good number

of philosophy professors.

We fully support Cafe Metro's

petition for a Wildcard machine,

and we ask Villanova to install one

programs in which convicted drug

dealers, the lowest of street ver-

min, counsel urban youth. Mr.

Patterson simply points out that

this sort of social spending is a

"half-hearted" attempt at stop-

ping a frightening trend in our

cities.

On the foreign front, Clinton's

approval ratings were a pathetic

32 percent in last Friday's WallStreet Journal/NBC poll. This is

an amazing statisticdn light of the

President's foreign pblicy "victo-

ry" in Hjliti. Even theXampisi-proclaimed "diplomacy ahd nego-

tiation" skills of ex-Presi^ent

Jimmy Carter have not been jtt^le

to contribute to Clinton's public^

support. Indeed, Mr. Patterson's

record in regard to the current

administration is stellar.

Mr. Patterson should develop a

tough skin and expect to receive

this type of nonsensical derision

by his spurned critics. Mr. Cam-pisi, on the other hand, ought to

continue to digest the viewsespoused in the "PattersonPerspective."

Racism shows true colors

It's the little things that count in Hfe. For manystudents at Villanova, it can be something as seeminglyinconsequential as changing one's seat in the cafeteria,

casting a strange look in someone's direction, raising asuspecting eyebrow or crossing the pathway to classsimply to avoid eye contact. Yet all of these "little" thingsadd up.

On Oct. 5, the International Committee AgainstRacism (INCAR) and the Student Action Committeesponsored a powerful and enlightening open forum titled,

"Racism: It's Here and It Sucks." Students on the paneland in the audience shared their experiences with racismon Villanova's campus, noting what a profoundly negativeeffect these little things have pn their lives.

Whether it be a joke, a nickname, an assumption or

a stereotype, it is still racism. And on every level, it

needs to be confronted and combatted by every memberof the Villanova community. Only then will the truemeaning of "community" be realized. To keep silent in

the midst of racism is to perpetuatje the crime itself.

Only by speaking out against these little things canrace relations improve on campus. Only through opendiscourse, mutual understanding and respect for thedifferences amongst us can an appreciation of thesedifferences be fostered.

And once these differences are valued rather thanfeared, questions like, "You're black? And you're not anathlete? What are you doing at Villanova?" will becomeobsolete.

Inquirer cites 'Novans

for housing problemsThe Philadelphia Inquirer's Oct. 2 article on the Main

Line's off-campus student housing situation has beendiscussed intensely by Villanovans this past week. Thisarticle was as ambitious as it was lengthy, spanning three

pages and addressing complaints of students, landlords

and law enforcers alike. It comes as no surprise that

virtually everybody involved seems distressed over thecurrent state of off-campus living.

To the average reader, it is difficult to decide whereto place the blame. To be fair, students must shouldersome of it. But students are not the only reason whyoff-campus residency remains such a source of controversy— not by a long shot.

One Bryn Mawr resident, after deriding students for

their recklessness, claims that the "real villains are thelandlords." He may be on to something. Local landlords

know full well that they can milk students for monthlyrent payments for less than palatial accommodations

t

which the average Main Liner would never pay,particularly if they feign ignorance to the zoning lawsbeing violated.

The Inquirer article also spotlights a HaverfordTownship zoning officer who scans the Villanovadirectory in her idle time, looking for addresses housingexcessive numbers of students.

While the police unquestionably must respond to

residents' complaints about unruly student behavior, theactions of this housing officer suggest a different attitude

copped by law enforcement. It is an attitude Villanovansliving off campus are all too familiar with: the local police

seem to have a general vendetta against students, whetheror not students are causing problems.

"Residents expect Villanova officials to discipline

their own students," remarks one police superintendentin the article. It is unrealistic to expect the Universityadministration to have such all-encompassing power overstudents who live beyond their reach. Main Line laridlords

and police play a giant role in improving this situation.

Financial exploitation and unprovoked hostility towardsstudents are not alleviating the long-standing problemswhich arise from off-campus housing for Villanovans.

/ shouted out, "Who's ahead of Ted Kennedy?"By RICH WEBSTER

The kingdom of Camelot is

about to be condemned. KingArthur and Sir Lancelot have beenstruckdown by black magic forces

leaving only the lecherous,drunken squire to guard its gatesand maidens. I wish him the best.

The Massachusetts senatorial

race has come down to one issue— good looks— and it doesn't look

good for Teddy Kennedy. Once ahip-swinging superstar, he hasgone the way of Elvis: fat andbloated. The up-and-comingRepublican challenger is Willard

"Mitt" Romney, a savvy youngshark with a head for businessand an axe for decapitations. He's

a venture-capitalist and made $11million over the span of two years

(he helped launch the Staples

office supply superstore chain).

But he's handsome, like a

champ.And Kennedy looks weird, sort

of like a blowfish.

Members of his camp havegrown increasingly worried about

the alarming ratfe with which his

face is expanding. Those jowls —my God — they're inflating like

an old helium balloon. Kennedy'saides rope him to the floorboards

at night so he won't float off into

the stratosphere.

But if he could pull off a trick

like that — master the secret of

flight, defy gravity and hoverabove the electorate with the airy

power of those puffy jowls — Mitt

would scurry back into whateverrat-hole he crawled out of and the

constituency would bow downonce again to their God-head.

The majority of voters in Mass-achusetts believe they would bebetter off with Teddy in office, butafter 32 years of the free-wheeling

senator, 45 percent of the public

would choose change over quality

of life. And besides, ain't hefriends with that Clinton fellow?

The Republicans need onlyseven seats to take control of the

Senate, which isn't as horrible as

it sounds. If they do gain control

then 71year-old Bob Dole wouldbecome the majority leader andmost likely drop out of the '96

presidential-election dogfights; areal plus for those of us whoappreciate the finer things in life.

However, if the elephants also

take control of the House, thenhold your eyes toward the skies

and watch for the toads andlocusts. The floods will surely

come and the world will knowwhat it feels like to live in Cali-

fornia. For if the G.O.P. takes

control of Congress then NewtGingrich, the lobbyist bootlicker

and occasional caddy, will beHouse speaker, and Jesse Helms,the loveable littleJoe McCarthyJr.

from North Carolina, coulddemand the chair of the ForeignRelations Committee.Just imagine: sex would be

illegal, two-year prison terms for

anyone under 35 would be man-datory, and anybody found witha copy of High Times would beflogged and beaten in the streets.

And then truly this would bea cursed nation, so vote carefullv.

If Clinton had used those Oxford^

brains of his, he would have sent

every Democrat in Congress to

Haiti with Carter so they could

all return triumphantly and pro-

claim themselves saviors of the

State and political geniuses. Theywould be unbeatable and sendsorry hacks like Romney, the

nasty Siamese Bush brothers andthat Gomer-Pyle Oliver Northback to the laboratory for retooling

and reprogramming.But Clinton chose to send Colin

Powell, who by this time in '96

may be very comfortable with

being referred to as "Mr. Presi-

dent." Just look at the stats; the

Democrats have sat in the Presi-

dential Throne only twice in the

previous seven elections — eight

of 20 years. Ugly reality. And yet

the reigning crown-fool willingly

constructs his own enemy. But

Powell has yet to claim a party;

he's bi-political, and though hehas reservations regarding someof Clinton's "habits," those fun,

fun "habits" of his, it is morelikely he will run on a Democraticticket based on his views on civil

rights and social issues.

Clinton does have a wild-card

down his shorts; if only he could

coerce Colin into accepting the

position of Secretary of State then

he would temporarily be safe fromthe major-league whipping it

seems he's due.

Don't be surprised if Carter's

next high-level relations missionsends him parachuting downPowell's chimney, landing in his

living room in a cloud of soot witha peanut-grin, a black briefci»se

containing$5 million in unmarkedbills, and an offer Powell can't

refuse.

But Colin doesn't scare easy.

This is the guy had had Lieut.

Gen. Rhoul Cedars, the Juntaleader and dangerous thug, wear-ing a dress and sucking his toes

within two days and ColonelFrancois in a chicken wing crying

"Uncle" while Jimmy tickled his

feet with a feather.

He is now a player to be reck-

oned with: an unknown quantity

with the power to frighten. Anenforcer with grand designs. Andif Pat Buchanan, who is patiently

awaiting his mail-order whitesheet and hood, gets out of line,

then Colin will deal with him;leave him crumpled on the floor,

quaking and whimpering for for-

giveness and safe exile. Such arethe ways of the General.

The times have been cruel to

the Democrats, and in a strange

twist of fate it looks as if their

worst defeat in recent years camewhen they won the presidency.

Although maybe "won" isn't so

accurate a word; it was more like

they found it in the hands of a

hooker on New York's 42nd Street.

It was tainted and the Republicansknew it; they were watching in

the bushes, laughing and planning machine has shifted into the high-

aheadSo it appears as if the Demo-

crats must once again head for the

hills. The voters are armed with

pitchforks and the torches are

ablaze. The mean-Republican-

evil mode. If only Cuomo wouldput those rumored mafia ties of

his into action.

My first and LSAT chance at lawBy ALEX SCOFIELD

It nearly broke my heaft that

Willard Scott had the day off last

Saturday. There was little fanfare

as the sun rose; no men dressedin pseudo-colonial garb hauledPunxatawney Phil, the nation's

most renowned groundhog, out of

his burrow. And no, folks could

not see their shadows as they

headed off to take their LSATs.You look surprised, as though

you can't see any similaritybetween LSAT Day and Ground-hog Day. But rest assured it's

there. Both of these annual events

find filthy rodents crawling out of

their holes to quiver and shakeawhile, trying to determine whatthe future holds in store.

O.K. all you wannabe lawyers,

no need to get angry, write nasty

letters to the editor or threaten

physical violence. And moreimportantly, there's no need to

draw upon your future legal

knowledge and sue me for all I'm

worth. You'd be sorely disappoint-

ed if you saw how little I'm worth,anyway.

I feel completely licensed to

poke some fun at the nation's

future paragons of the legal field

because I was one of them last

Saturday. Or at least I took the

LSATs; I'm not quite sure if I

qualify as a future paragon of

anything, particularly l^gal

knowledge.

I do, however, recognize a cap-

italist vulture when I see one(perhaps because once I pass the

Bar Exam, I will fit the averageperson's definition of a 'capitalist

vulture'). And sure enough, one of

these carrion-craving birds of prey

was circling around the entranceof Mendel Hall when I arrived onthat fateful morning. Apparentlymistaking me for a rabbit carcass,

or at least a college student witha significant amount of disposable

income,' he handed me a pamphletwith a toll-free number to call if

I wanted to take the Kripplin'

LSAT Prep Course. I read on:

"You're gonna flunk, Scofield,

and flunk bad [it was a very

impressive example of target

advertising, I must admit]. Butwhile the test-correcting bureau-

cracy computes your scores, youcan take the Kripplin "^ review andboost your scores up into the

Harvard/Yale stratosphere whenyou take the LSATs again in

December."It was not so much disgust

toward the fear-mongering indus-

try which caused me to toss the

pamphlet in the trash, so muchas the notion of repeating the

ordeal in two months. Naw, onestandardized test a year is plenty

for me, thanks. As a matter of fact,

there was once ^ time right after

high school when I believed that

I was through having to fill in lots

of little dots while being monitored

by a couple of wardens wielding

stopwatches. How naive I was.I'd love to say that under these

circumstances, I rose to the occa-

sion and was able to figure outwhether Jeff was sitting next to

Kristen or Lisa within the 35minutes allotted for each section.

Unfortunately, LSAT puzzles like

this one remained unsolved andI ended up hoping that somehow,the test-makers had decided to

make *C' the answer to all 24questions in the section.

In fact, I fear that I only hadthe proper answer to one questionthe entire afternoon: What am I

going to do after I survive this test,

presuming that I DO survive this

test? No difficulty there. Theanswer was 'D,' as in: Drink the

entire contents of my liquor

cabinet. After the months of self-

imposed social exile I had spent

studying for the test, I celebrated

the beginning of many months of

society-imposed social exile. Andin the very depths of my post-

LSAT buzz, I ceased to carewhether Jeff was sitting next to

Kristen or Lisa; I was havingenough difficulty figuring out

exactly where Alex was sitting.

Everyone loses when national pastime terminatedBy JOE PATTERSON

Baseball. It has always been a

metaphor for America.It has been a testament to hard

work, sacrifice and persistence. It

has survived the Great Depres-sion, two World Wars, Vietnam,Korea and 25 presidents. It is theonly sport to remain relatively

unchanged for over a century.

Baseball's fortunes have mir-

rored America's fortunes. TheNational Pastime has been tar-

nished by scandal. It has hadsocial problems that reflected

those of its day. But througheverything, baseball has shownextraordinary resilience.

It has taken greed and obstinate

bullheadedness to sideline Amer-ica's greatest diversion. For the

first time since 1904, the WorldSeries will not be played. Theexpanded playoff format, completewith wild-card teams, should begracing our television screensright about now. Instead, the only

baseball action we can catch is the

ridiculous bickering between the

players and the owners.The strike has terminated what

promised to be one of the greatest

seasons in recent decades. FrankThomas was compiling an offen-

sive year that would have rankedamong the best ever. TonyGwynnwas flirting with a .400 batting

average. Matt Williams and KenGriffey were in the midst of

individual assaults on RogerMaris' home run record. CalRipken was in hot pursuit of LouGehrig's "unbeatable" recprd of

2,130 consecutive games. Andnow, not only are the single-

season campaigns of Thomas,

Gwynn, Williams and Griffey

ended, but the threat of replace-

ment players starting next seasonhas put Ripken's 14-year-old questin serious jeopardy.

Over the past few seasons,

attendance records have beencompletely rewritten. Cities that

had been in the cellar for years

have become Intimate contend-

ers. The players are making moremoney now, with the averagemajor leaguer's salary topping the

$1,000,000 mark, than ever before.

So Why would baseball go onstrike? Why can't two parties,

both of whom are making a for-

tune fulfilling a dream, settle their

differences without using the fansas a bargaining tool? The answercuts to the heart of many problemsplaguing society today.

The owners and players simplyrefused to seriously negotiate.

Instead, they bandied insults backand forth through the media. Theopposing sides took on the personaof the most pathetic partisan

politicking. Neither side had any-

thing to gain by going on strike,

but overblown arrogance at bothends dictated it.

From the beginning of theseason, the prospect of a strike

cast a shadow over the 1994campaign. And yet negotiators

rarely met. Indeed, even after the

strike became a reality, the twosides seldom met more than oncea week.

This is not an ordinary labor

dispute. These aren't overworkedauto workers or underpaidteachers. These are millionaires

who play a game for a living andlive with celebrity status. Theyareamong the most popular peoplein America. They are the heroesof the younger generation and are

cheer«l on daily. People listen to

what they say, no matter howtrivial or repetitive it is.

The players do not publicly

claim that they are underpaid.

Instead, they claim they deserve

a bigger slice of the pie. They paint

the owners out to be heartless,

greedy old men. For sure, the

owners are definitely not saints

and their avarice is certainly

worthy of note. And, indeed, their

refusal to appoint a strong com-missioner has helped to create thepresent predicament. Neverthe-less, the amount of money beingearned by both parties makes thealientation between labor andmanagement bewildering.

The truly disturbing aspect is

that this dispute isn't simply amoney issue. Rather, it represents

a distorted view of justice amongboth parties. Both factions haveclaimed to be the victims. Insteadof working together toward amutually beneficial agreement,each group presents itself as the

victim of the other party's greed.

With their war of words, theyseem intent on dividing their fansinto separategroups of supporters.

What emerges is a piteous portrait

of stubbornness taken to theextreme.

This stubbornness has serious

implicatiorfs. Because of thestrike, cities have lost over $60million in tax revenue. Businesseshave lost over $425 million.Thirty-five thousand ball parkworkers have been laid off. Tel-

evision networks lost $3 millionin advertising for each broadcastthat was canceled. Real peoplewith real jobs are being harmed.And who can put a monetary

value on the losses suffered by thefans? Baseball provides a constantsource of entertainment and relax-

ation for millions and millions of

Americans, both at the stadiumand at home.

THATCH ByJEFFSHESOL

Ken Burns' most recent master-

piece, "Baseball," has remindedus of how much baseball meansto such a large number of Amer-ican citizens. We have alwaysbeen able to learn from baseball,

and this time around, it is nodifferent.

We have been given an exampleof what can happen if we let ourfeelings of self-pity trump ourfidelity to hard work. We can see

what may happen it we persist in

assigning blame when a little

sacrifice would solve everything.

With a little effort and a fewconcessions, there's no reasonwhy baseball can't again becomea stable game. The good of thegame should be the primary con-

cern of the players and the owners.But greed has consumed thebaseball season. Hockey and bas-

ketball could be next.

Play ball. After all, that's whywe love you.

Yankee Conference Football Week in ReviewBy ERIC BEGGStaff Reporter

#7 BOSTON UNIVERSITY(2-1 Yankee Conference: 3-1

OveraU) vs. JAMES MADI-SON (2-1 Yankee Conference:3-1 OveraU)The surprise of the week was

that the James Madison Dukesdefeated one of the strongest

squads in the country. After

sitting through a bye week, the

Dukes marched up to Boston and

handed the Terriers a 24-21 defeat,

their first loss in 16 games. JMUdid what no team has been able

to do in a long time, shut downBU's offense. After averaging 435

total yards a game in its three

victories this season, BU was held

to just 297. More specifically, the

Dukes were able to keep the

Terriers' prolific passing game in

check. BU quarterback Robert

Dougherty was held to 241 yards

in the air, 65 yards below what

he had averaged all season long.

The otherQB in this contest, Mike

Cawley, adroitly led the Dukes to

victory by throwing for 158 yards

and rushing for 80 more. This

week Cawley leads his team to

Delaware to take on the Hens,

while BU travels to Rhode Island

to play the Rams.

MAINE (1-3 Yankee Confer-

ence: 1-4 Overall) vs. #18DELAWARE (1-2 YankeeConference: 2-2 Overall)

Not wanting to feel left out in

a week full of surprises, the

University of Maine upset Dela-

ware, the 18th ranked team in the

country, 19-13. After losing four

straight games to start the season

by an average of over nine points

a game, the Huskies took advan-

tage of a weak Blue Hen defense

that is ranked at the bottom of

the Yankee Conference. Thatstatistic is probably more a result

of the Blue Hens' defensive unit

allowing a CFL-like 55 points in

a win against West Chester the

week before.

Delaware continues its

roller coaster season by hosting

the high flying Dukes. Maine,

meanwhile, after ending its nine

game losing streak, stomps downto southern Virginia to flex its

muscles against Richmond.

MASSACHUSETTS (2-0 Yan-kee Conference: 3-1 Overall)

vs. RHODE ISLAND (2-2Yankee Conference: 2-3OveraU)UMass won this one, 22-12, but

the story of this game was UMass

running back, Rene Ingoglia, whoran over, stepped on, and blewaway from the Rams' defense.

Ingoglia, the Yankee Conferenceoffensive player of the week,rushed for 313 yards on 28 carries

(that's 11.7 yards per carry, folks).

His two touchdown runs were of

84 and 75 yards, and for goodmeasure, he caught a 15 yard TDfrom QB Andrew McNally. On the

other side of the ball, UMass'defense continued its dominationof the Rams dating back to last

year. The Minutemen have nowsacked Rams QB Chris Hixon 18

times in the last two years andhave intercepted him four times.

The Minutemen, who now find

themselves tied for first, taketheir monster defense and run-

ning game to New Hampshire to

take on the Wildcats this weekend.Rhode Island, meanwhile, awaitsthe arrival of the suddenly mortalBU Terriers.

NON-CONFERENCEGAMESCONNECTICUT (1-1 YankeeConference: 1-4 OveraU)The Huskies took on Yale last

weekend and were beaten 28-17.

UConn, who have now sand-

wiched two losses around their

only win, did not start out on a

good note against their Ivy League,

foe. As the final seconds ticked off

the ck)ck in the first half, the

Huskies found themselves downil-0. The Huskies fought back in

the second half, but could only

pull within four points before the

Bulldogs pulled away. One of the

problems facing the UConn squad

is their propensity to give the ball

away. The Huskies have squan-

dered offensive opportunities 17

times this season, six more than

any other team in the YankeeConference and eight more than

their team has caused. The Hus-

kies try to solve the generosity

problem as they host our Cats this

weekend.

#21 NEW HAMPSHIRE (2-1

Yankee Conference: 3-1OveraU)

After squeaking into the top 25

with a 20-19 victory versus UConntwo weeks ago, New Hampshiregot squashed 28-6 by Hofstra last

weekend. The Wildcats, despite

controlling the ball seven minutes

longer than Hofstra, could not run

the ball. Avrom Smith, the Yankee

Conference's 4th leading rusher,

was held to less than two yards

rushing. Any problems that the

Huskies face with their offense

must be solved by Saturday as

UMass comes marching in with

reconsider why they play each

other. About seven years ago Holy

Cross decided its annual gameversus Boston College was not

worth getting destroyed by a

Division 1-A team each year. Well,

William and Mary decided that

next year will be its last gameagainst Virginia, a team that

crushed them 37-3 last week.

Despite being the No. 8 team in

Division 1-AA this year, the Tribe

found it difficult containing the

This weekend William and Mary,playing in its first Yankee Con-

ference game in a month, will try

to get back on track against

Northeastern.

Polo drops to

.500 markto

By MARC ANGELACCIOStaffReporter

The yillanova men's water polo

team dropped its record to 6-6

after three heartbreaking defeats

at the hands of three nationally

ranked squads last Saturday. TheCats fell to Princeton, Navy andSlippery Rock in Eastern Leaguecompetition at George Washing-ton University in Washington,DC. The games represented oneof the hardest days of competition

the team has ever faced.

The team opened against 15th

ranked Princeton. 'Nova jumpedto an early 6-2 lead. The Tigers

tied the game in the second half,

sending it into overtime. It wouldtake Princeton two overtime peri-

ods to defeat the Cats, 7-6. Junior

Ben Igoe was spectacular in the

net for Villanova, stopping 67percent of Princeton's shots.

Offensively, freshman Brian Har-del added four goals for 'Nova.

Villanova's next opponent wasthe ninth ranked Naval Academy.The Cats have never defeated the

Midshipmen and this day wouldbe no different. Despite losing twostarters to injuries from thePrinceton game and two morefrom fouls in the third period, the

team put forth a strong effort.

Villanova kept the score close

going into the fourth, but theMidshipmen eventually pulledaway, defeating the Wildcats, 13-

7.

The day ended with a matchagainst 17th ranked SlipperyRock. Villanova was once againmissing one of its starters to

injury. The two teams traded thelead throughout the game. Thiscontest, however, would prove to

be another loss as Slippery Rock'

scored the game-winning goalwith 1:31 remaining, puttingthem over the top, 17-16.

Overall, Villanova playedextremely well against the stiffest

competition it has ever faced. In

spite of the three losses, the teamshowed that it is capable of

playing at a level with nationally

prominent teams. The Wildcatsnow look forward to this weekendin which they face two toughsquads in Boston College and lonaat home.With a very young team, con-

sisting of only two juniors and onesenior, expectations for the future

are high. As the squad continuesto develop, it looks to give a strongeffort the rest of the season in

preparation for the Eastern Cham-pionships in November.

My friend Bob insists hockey is

not a sport. Under his guidelines,

a sport must have two qualifica-

tions: it must have a ball and youmust be able to coach during thegame. So, in his warped mind, theonly sports are baseball, football

and basketball. His mental jury is

still out on tennis and rugby.However, hockey is the fastest

growing spectator sport in theUnited States. Expansion teamsin Anaheim, Miami and TampaBay have been playing to sell-out

crowds. The financially collapsingMinnesota North Stars werereborn as the Dallas Stars. TheInternational Hockey League, oneof the three minor leagues in theUnited States, added teams in

Chicago and Detroit, cities whichalready had NHL teams. SnoopDoggy Dogg is wearing hockeysweaters in his music videos. TheNHL recently signed a contractwith FOX (the sports network of

the future?), allowing hockey to beshown on a national non-cablenetwork more than three times ayear. But like their brethren in

Wolfman's Views from the Cheap SeatsNo, the players are being locked

What is wrong with hockey'sowners? I've had my owa mentalproblems with hockey owners in

the past. . . I mean they are a rare

breed. Take Chicago's Bill Wirtz,

for example, who won't allowBlackhawk home games to beshown on television — even cable.

He feels that if they're televised,

people won't come to the games.Wirtz does relent a bit in theplayoffs: he puts the freakin*

games on the newest bastion of

capitalism — pay-per view.

Or how about Dallas's NormGreen, who after holding Minne-sota hostage looking for ridiculous

lease demands, took his team to

the Lone Star State? Then, hethreatened to move again fromDallas because he did not realize

when he signed the lease agree-

ment that money derived fromadvertising on the boards wouldgo to Mavericks' owner NormSonju.

Even Edmonton's Peter Pock-lington wants to move his teambecause no one will pay to seethem. Maybe, Peter, just maybe,it is because every time you havea star or potential star, you tradehim so you won't have to pay him.My memory can be foggy, but I

think Northlands Coliseum wasfull when Gretzkv and Kurri ran

T<"o«n •tVie

CWEAP SEATS

I do not blame the players for

the lockout. Nor do I blame hockeycommissioner Gary Bettman. I

completely blame the owners for

this farce. The players just wantto paly the game. Canadians, and.Canadipns. are funny that way.Some players, most notable Jere-my Roenick, have contemplat-ed going to the minor leagues to

keep playing while the lockout is

on. Bettman has been a marketinggenius for the league and hasoverseen another round of suc-cessful expansion. Though hemight not know his icing from his

butt-ending (yes, butt-ending is anactual penalty in the NHL rule-

book), Bettman has learned whosome of the Leimeuxs are (Claude,Marion, and Jocelyn, if you areunsure). Not even Bob has gonethat far.

No, the owners want a collective

bargaining agreement in place.

Never mind that there was not onein place last season, and the NHLhad its most successful season in

history in terms of revenues andmarketing. Yet, the owners wanta salary cap in a league wheresalaries are not yet over-inflated.

The owners want anchovies ontheir pizza. They want this, theywant that. They want to make theplayers appear responsible. EvenEd Snider, the Flyers' owner, saidhe is contemplating selling theteam because an agreement doesnot appear to be feasible.

Two days before the lockout (or

as Bettman euphemistically putit, the postponement) began, theplayers agreed to play out theforthcoming season without acollective bargaining agreementand said they would not strike thisseason, in effect reverting back to

status quo until next season. Theowners unanimously votedagainst the players' proposal, andshut the doors. Now, some peopleare of the opinion that I have nobusiness sense, but it seemspretty clear to me that by shuttingthe doors, the owners are shootingthemselves in the foot.' Sinceprofessional hockey historically

supersedes the NBA, many hockeyfranchise owners own their ownarena, such as the Blackhawks,the Flyers, and the Rangers. Theyare probably owned by somemega-media conglomeration thatI think owns part of Guam as well.

With average salaries being thelowest of the four major profes-

sional sports, many owners whoalso own their own arenas, are

taking potential revenue, andflushing it into whatever polluted

body of water is most conveniently

located to their respective arenas.

The owners and the commishboth say that the season will be

played to completion and that the

season is just stuck at the termi-

nal. Absence makes the heart

grow fonder, and my heart is

about as fond right now as DaleHunter's head is thick. Look at the

bright side, though. Bob and I canwatch the Stanley Cup together

this year... in July.

Weekend Selections from D-Ca$h and FatmanSpecial to the Villanovan

Last week, the college ranks

produced some major upsets. In

the NFL, everyone and their

mothers looked like Super Bowlcontenders, with the exception of

Houston (thank you Steel town).

Well, kids, D-Ca$h and his

Fatness are back after a muchneeded vacation. We ran into a

little trouble, but we've returned.

Guess what! That's right, wehave winners!

And now without further delay,

drum roll please, this week's

selections:

College: Oklahoma — z over

Texas (in Dallas) — In this fierce

rivalry, we look for the sometimes

potent Sooner offense to he too

much for those fiesty Horns to

handle. Yes, Texas did play well

against mighty Colorado, which is

why we feel they will have nothing

left for this intense contest.

CINCINNATI + 7 over Vander-

bilt — We are officially dubbingthis match: "The Garbage DumpGame of the Year." Both squadswould have trouble with a high

school team. Vandy is the doormatof the Southeastern Conference

while Cincy has yet to win a game.The Bearcats should turn into

mighty home dogs and overcome

a trashy Vanderbilt team to earn

their first notch in the win

column.Florida St. - 3^ over MIAMI

(Fla.)^ This game pits two of the

perennial monsters of college

football against each other in the

fabled Orange Bowl, where Miami

just lost their 58 game homewinning steak. Even my two-year-

old cousin has a winner in this

gridiron classic. Both teams have

explosive offenses, as well as

stingy defenses, but in the end,

the Seminoles are just too strong

fot this year's edition from Miami.

New Mexico + 8 over HAWAII— This is a hard selection for us

to swallow. We are tremendous

Rainbow warriors, but the '94

numbers don't lie: Hawaii as a

dog: 2-0, Hawaii as a favorite: 0-

3. Need we say more.

NFL: San Francisco — SVis over

DETROIT — the 49ers were

absolutely humiliated in front of

their beloved fans by Randall and

company. There is no better

medicine than to return the favor

on the road against an inconsist-

ent Detroit Sanders club.

Kansas City + 1 over SANDIEGO — Both teams are coming

off a bye week, but we feel K.C.

has the upper hand. The Chiefs

last game was a flu ridden loss

to the L.A. Worms. Look for the

healthy Montana led Chiefs to

bounce back tough and hand the

surprising Chargers their first

loss of the year.

GREEN BAY — 7% over L.A.

Rams — Last time the Pafck camehome after a tough loss, they madethe Bucs jump ship in a 30-3

victory. Well, we're going to go

with that Steriing train of thought

this week as the Pack returns

home after a demoralizing loss to

a lucky one-man New England

team.

NEW YORK GIANTS - 2 over

Minnesota — This game should

determine whether the Giants are

as good as every New Yorker

claims them to. be.

Women's tennis season emphasizes progressBy CHRISTINAHUNGSPRUKEStaff Reporter

For the women's tennis team,

1994 is proving to be a rebuilding

year. To help improve. HeadCoach Sally Lewis added an assist-

ant coach: Stan Phelps.

"Stan has been a great addition

and is a very positive influence to

the team this season," CoachLewis said.

It is a year of transition andthey hope to build a strong team.

In addition to hiring Phelps, the

team has also elected another

captain. Joining the current senior

co-captains Kelly Barnes andKerry Dillon is senior Tiffany

Geiser.

"Attitude wise. Tiffany has a

very good attitude," Lewis said.

"She is always positive, and is a

leader and fighter. She is one youcan always count on."

Together with the two coaches,

the tri-captain team of Barnes,

Dillon and Geiser will try its best

to provide leadership and support

for the rest of the Wildcat team.

'Nova took the court against

Lehigh University Sept. 16. Thematch played at Lehigh resulted

in a close 5-4 win for the Wildcats,

evening the team's early record to

2-2.

Barnes, 'Nova's No. 1 singles

player, set the momentum byposting the team's first win of the

match with an impressive 6-0, 6-

2 victory.

Sophomore Chris Grasso did

not play in the first three gamesof the season due to injury, but

returned to the court againstLehigh at the No. 3 singles posi-

tion. Though she did not win her

match, Grasso made a good effort

toget back in tune for the remaind-

er of the season.

The Wildcats were given a

boost by the No. 5 singles player,

first year athlete Meg Daniels.

Daniels ran away with the match,winning easily with scores of 6-

1, 6-3. Working solidly throughher match, junior Tina Fiore

rounded out singles play for the

Wildcats with a 6-2, 6-3 victory

at the No. 6 position.

During this match, the doubles

teams played one pro set instead

oi the normal best out of three

match. At the No. 1 doublesposition, Barnes and Dillon posted

a spectacular 8-2 win over Lehigh.

Also winning for the Wildcats wasthe third doubles team of Daniels

and Fiore. They scored an 8-4

victory to close out Lehigh.

The Wildcats then took onSeton Hall at a home match played

Sept. 14. The Villanova lineup

was challenged by a tough Pirate

team. All the players put their

best effort in to try to stay in the

match with the visiting team. Theteam suffered a 9-0 loss, dropping

their record to 2-3.

The next stop for the Wildcats

was the Mount St. Mary's Tour-

nament held on the weekend of

Sept. 16-18. Though the tourna-

ment consisted of eleven teams,

The whole team placedpretty well considering

it was our first

tournament

Head Coach Sally Lewis

the players competed individually.

The Wildcats found themselveswithout Daniels, who missed thetournament due to illness.

"I thought we played well, butI was a little upset because we did

not have Meg," said Lewis. "It

hurt the lineup a little bit. Kelly

[Barnes] played very well. She is

starting to play at the peak of hergame. Kerry [Dillon] played a goodtournament. She had a tough

Star keeper posts shutoutBy BROOKE FERENCSIKStaff Reporter

The men's soccer team has wontwo in a row, including a 1-0 upset

of nationally ranked Georgetownand a star has bloomed on the

Villanova sports scene: fiery goal-

tender Aleko Zeppos. Zeppos, a

junior from Wyomissing, PA cap-

tured the starting goalie spot in

the preseason of his freshmanyear and has not relinquished his

starting duties in three years at

'Nova.

Already having the strongest

season of his collegiate career,

Zeppos is only getting better.

Thus far, Zeppos has posted a 1 .18

goals against average, .824 save

percentage, and 66 saves in 990

minutes. He also has posted three

shutouts, his most recent being

the 1-0gem against the Hoyas Oct.

"The Georgetown game was a

breakthrough game for us," said

Zeppos. "It really helped the

confidence level and we'll continue

to feed off it."

Zeppos is most appreciative of

the defense's strong play, which

of course always makes a net-

minder's job much easier. A gooddefense is a goalie's best friend

and this season the Villanova

defense has been superlative.

"The defense has really backedme up and has kept the pressure

off," said Zeppos. "The offense

has also been doing its part byproducing and attacking verywell."

This season's transition has not

been an easy one following the

graduation of seven senior Wild-

cats last year. Zeppos has been oneof the key players who has takenhis game to another level.

"Since we lost a lot of importantguys, a lot of us had to step it up,"

said Zeppos.

That has been an importantfactor to the Cats' success at this

point: a 2-1 Big East record and5-5 overall.

Along with working individu-

ally on his skills and conditioning,

Zeppos has received a great deal

of help from his goalie coach, DaveUrbach."Coach Urbach is a great

teacher and he's really helped mea lot with the technical aspects

of my goaltending," said Zeppos.

Strong defense has been the keyto this year's version of HeadCoach Larry Sullivan's squad.

Zeppos has been the anchor of the

defense and his play inspires

others on the team.

What are Aleko's greatest traits

in the net?

"Speed, quickness and solid

technique," answers Zeppos.

"Most importantly, though, I try

to be very consistent."

Consistency has been Zeppos'forte. In his worst outing, heallowed only three goals.

"Although we're really young,we have a lot of potential,"explains Zeppos. "When all that

raw talent comes together, weexpect great things out of this

team."

If the victory over Georgetownis a precursor of things to come,watch out for this Wildcat squad.They just might make some waveson the national scene. Get readyto move over, Tony Meola, a starhas budded on the Villanovacampus.

draw, though. Tiffany [Geiser],

Chris [Grasso], Erin [O'Shea] andTina [Fiore] did well in their feed-

in consolation rounds."

"The whole team played pretty

well considering it was our first

tournament," Barnes said.

Individually, Barnes came in

third, upsetting the No. 4 seed in

the tournament 6-4, 6-4. Dillon

also played well, making it to the

third round and eventually losing

to the No. 3 seed. Grasso made it

to the second round feed-in con-

solation round, while Geiserreached the quarter-final

consolation.

In doubles action, 'Nova had to

forfeit one team due to the absenceof Daniels. The second doubles

team, consisting of Fiore andO'Shea, played well. They reached

the final round 'of the feed-in

consolations.

"There were eleven teams andif I were to place then, I wouldsay that we were in the topquarter in the tournament," Lewisstated.

Coming off of their success at

the Mt. St. Mary's Tournament,the Wildcats met Delaware at

home Sept. 20. The match wasplayed without starters Grassoand Daniels, thus introducingfirst year player, Jenn Grant, to

the starting line-up. Grant started

in the No. 6 singles position andthe No. 3 doubles spot. Thoughthe Wildcats posted a 6-1 loss, the

team felt prepared to take on their

next opponent.

It was a short bus ride for the

Wildcats as they travelled to WestChester. The team took an even

shorter time as they rolled over

their opponent with a spectacular

9-0 win. Playing without Dillon

and Daniels for this match, 'Nova

relied on Grant and O'Shea of! the

bench. In the No. 2 singles posi-

tion, Grasso easily took her first

set, 6-0. But during her second set,

she found herself in a tie-break

which she eventually won 7-2. All

of 'Nova's starting players posted

straight set victories, whichbrought the team record 3-4.

Against St. John's, 'Nova's

starting line-up was significantly

different. Occupying the first

three spots were Dillon, Fiore andGeiser. Occupying the bottomthree were Grant, sophomoreKara Main and first year player,

Allison Gillick. Absent from the

normal line-up were Barnes, Gras-

so and Daniels.

In her first try at the No, 1

position, Dillon posted a 6-3, 7-6

(7-2) victory for the Wildcats. At

the No. 4 spot. Grant stretched her

match into three long sets, even-

tually winning 6-2, 3-6, 6-2. Like

Grant, Gillick extended her matchinto three sets. The third set andmatch were eventually deter-

mined by a tie-breaker which she

lost. The Wildcats dropped their

match to St. John's with a score

Women's X-country shocked; streak ended at 38By PETER McDONOUGHStaff Reporter

Although it is not exactly abustling tourist trap, Fayetteville,AK is the site of the 1994 NCAACross Country Championships.Last weekend, it hosted the ChilePepper Festival III, where theVillanova women's cross countryteam earned extra frequent flyermiles as it traveled into the midstof hog country, better known asthe University of Arkansas, forthis high-level competition meet.Although it was a disappointing

outing for the team, which fin-

ished second to Arkansas, the daywas highlighted by outstandingindividual achievements.Once again, 'Nova's one-two

punch of junior Jen Rhines andsenior Becky Spies took the toptwo spots on the 3.1 mile coursein times of 16:50.0 and 17:10.7,

respectively. They were followedin third place by Arkansas starand former Wildcat Megan Flow-ers, who finished in 17:17.8.

The second place finish for theteam snaooed a 38 meet winningstreak that the Wildcats began at

the end of the 1988 season.

This meet, also called theNCAAPreview Meet, was a chance forthe 'Nova harriers to show whatthey could do. It also gave them? chance to size up Arkansas, whowill most likely be their toughestcompetition come Nov.

"I think this team [Villanova]realizes that Arkansas is not onlya good team on paper," said HeadCoach John Marshall, "but theyare also a good team on the course.

"I think that our main focuswas not on Arkansas," said Mar-

,shall, "but really to get a real goodrun in, to see where everyone is

condition-wise and to learn thecourse."

'Nova's next three runnersafter Spies and Rhines finished in

respectable fashion, but not aswell as in the past. SophomoreKrestena Sullivan finished in

22nd place in a time of 18:01.6,

followed by senior Tosha Wood-ward in 26th at 18:03.3. SeniorEmer Molloy scored fifth for 'Nova

It's great to he rankednumher one in the

country. But ifyou're

not, if anything, itjust

makes you work harder.

Head Coach John Marshall

at 39th place overall in 18:23.6.

These three have finished sim-ilar courses in much better timesin the past.

"They didn't have a good day,"said Marshall.

However, Marshall believesthat in the future, their experien-ces will help them run betterwhen it really counts.

Last week's loss dropped Villan-

ova to third on the NCAA DivisionI Cross Country Coaches Associ-ation Poll, but the team is notworried about rankings or stand-ings. Marshall thinks that thethird place ranking can help the

team.

"It's great to be ranked numberone in the country," said Marshall."But if you're not, if anything, it

just makes you work harder."Lack of depth has been a con-

tinuing problem, and althoughlast year the team was able to

work around it, that may not bethe case this year.

"This team is not a tremend-ously deep, talented team," saidMarshall. "It's a good team, butit's not a great team. There aresome great teams out there. Wejust have to buckle down to beatthose great teams."

Hopefully the Cats will get backto their winning ways next wee-kend when they make a mucheasier trip down 1-95 to the Uni-versity of Maryland Invitational,

where they can hopefully bringback some of the intensity theylacked against Arkansas.

"Maybe we took them too light-

ly," said Marshall. "We didn't

have great intensity [while]Arkansas had nothing but greatintensity. I think that two teamswere on a different wavelength."

In order for the team to makeits next journey to Fayetteville asuccessful one, the women knowwhat they have to do.

"We can do it, but everything n«-«s*« *•. * > ^ .

Times are tough for ChrissyThomas and the women's field

hockey team. Despite a 4-1 victory

against Georg:etown on Sunday,the seniorgoalie has seen the teamfalter right before her eyes.

"The team is just not as intenseas I would like it to be," said

Thomas. "We simply aren't doingthe little things that it takes [to

win]."

Although the team scored fourgoals against the Hoyas, theineffectiveness of the offense hasbeen the most obvious problem.The team had scored only twogoals in its previous five games.

"[Head CoachJackie GerzabeckJhas been trying to move people todifferent places," Thomas said.

"She is trying to get strongerplayers on the front line. We haveto do something. Whatever we'vebeen doing is not working."

One of these moves could beKristen Hurt. The sweeper hasbeen solid on defense, but couldprovide a scoring punch if movedup. Coach Gerzabeck might behesitant to move the junior forfear of dismantling the always-reliable defensive unit.

Hurt displayed her offensiveskills in the Sept. 23 matchagainst UConn. At 31:25 of thesecond half, Hurt received a Jill

Basile pass on a penalty cornerand fired it past the opposinggoalkeeper.

The goal tied the game at 1-1,

but that was as close as the Catswould come. With a little over 10minutes remaining in the over-time period, Connecticut's furiousoffensive barrage finally overcamethe often-impenetrable Thomas.The overtime loss was 'Nova'ssecond in four games. In the game,the squad mustered a miserablethree shots to Connecticut's 19.

"If the offense doesn't perform,if they are not putting the ball inthe net, you can't win," saidThomas. "You can't win gameson defense, you have to win onoffense. That's our entireproblem."

This sort of impotent offensive

performance is becoming an all-

too-familiar occurrence for theWildcats. In the Sept. 28 game atSt. Joseph', the women wereunable to tally a single goal. St.Joe's took early control of thegamewith a first half goal and addedanother for cushion in the secondhalf.

The Cats collected a mere fiveshots in the 2-0 loss. A bright spotin the dismal offensive showing,however, was Teri Galanti. Thejunior forward had two shots forthe team and played with herusual consistency. She and seniorJoann Brantuk must turn up theheat if the team wishes to capi-talize on its already slim chanceat Big East contention."We are a young team," said

Thomas. "I just tell players to goout and play hard."Thomas has not let the losing

streak crush her spiritis. In thefirst seven games, she has stopped83 of her opponents' shots. Thisstatistic is impressive when com-pared to the 28 saves made byopposing goalies. In the field,

senior Joann Brantuk leads theteam with four points.

The women try to turn theirluck around this afternoon at 3:30p.m. against visiting Syracuse.Sunday, they will host nationalpower Virginia at 1 p.m.

Equality sought in WiUcat atliletics

'I

By SEAN KELLYSports Editor

Although Villanova Universi-ty's five-year-plan to reach genderequity in athletics appears clear

on paper, some of the reasoningbehind certain decisions needsexplanation.

A committee was established byAthletic Director Gene DeFilippoas a way of covering all of theissues involved with the compli-cated debate over gender equity.The members included the follow-

ing: DeFilippo, John Bostick,senior associate athletic director;

Mary Anne Dowling, associate•director of Athletics and seniorwomen's administrator; Dr. HelenLafferty, University vice presi-

dent; Dorothy Malloy, J.D., Uni-versity general counsel; AndyTalley, head football coach; Dr.Dan Regan, academic advisor/Athletics; Kathy Burns, assistantto the Dean of Students; ChuckHorton, former Villanova swim-ming coach; and Jim DeLorenzo,media relations director.

"The committee was an advi-

sory committee and made someexcellent recommendations anddid a lion's share of the work,"said DeFilippo, "but the final

decisions were made by me andthat's the way it has to be."

This entire process would havedisheartening for the departmentunless equal levels of participation

and an equal distribution of scho-

larships was reached. Overall,pulling scholarships is not some-thing the Athletic Departmentwill ever hope to get accustomedto.

"People need to realize thatGene [DeFilippo] and I, havingbeen coaches, have been in thebusiness of giving scholarships

and it is most difficult for us to

all of the sudden start takingscholarships away," said Bostick.

"This has been a very difficult

time for particularly Gene becauseultimately it is his decision to

make. Our students need to realize

that he doesn't want to do that

but for the good of our Athletic

Department and our situation

here, that's the route he thought

he should go."

"Some of the men's sports are

not going to be quite as happy [as

the women's sports] and we under-

stand that," said DeFilippo. "Butwe have to do what is fair andwhat is right and that's notalways the most popular thing."The advisory committee was

extremely concerned with beingfair to the athletes that are alreadyhere, said DeFilippo. Again, thisis the reason why no programswere ultimately dropped or added.Only the playing levels of certainsports will be adjusted, he said.

The participation cap put onmen's programs like baseball,football, lacrosse and soccer will

not be as drastic at the outset asit appears. The reduction processof each of these teams is over atleast a two-year period, saidDeFilippo. While the baseballteam is being capped at 25 total

players, a significant dropoff fromthe 46 they originally had, theparticipation limit does not have,to be reached immediately .

The adding of women'screw at Villanowa is awliole lot different tlian

adding crew at Kansas.

fiene DeFIHppo

"What we wanted to do is notdo it now so that a lot of playersgot cut," said DeFilippo. "Whatwe wanted to do was to do it

gradually so that coacheswouldn't have to be unfair to thestudent athletes that they havepresently."

Over the last 20 years, football

has been hit harder by cutbacksthan most college teams. In theearly 1970's Division I football

teams programs were allowed tohave as many as 225 possibleathletes on scholarship at onetime. This number was drastically

reduced to over the years to 855maximum players on scholarship.Even the total amount of playersincluding walk-ons was reducedto 105 in Division I-A and 90 total

players in I-AA.

The general assumption in theAthletic Department is that theNCAA will eventually cut thesenumbers down even more, saidDeFilippo. It cannot come downtoo much further without jeopard-izing the quality of the game, hesaid.

The decision to change the level

at which four Wildcat teamsparticipate was made after study-ing the competition in the BigEast, the athletic interests of

students in states where mostVillanova students come from QQ,Pa., NY, Conn., Mass.), and theclub sports at this institution withthe highest interest, saidDeFilippo.

Another factor that came intoplay was the availability of spe-

cific facilities. The women's waterpolo team has between 30-35members and has access to theduPont Swimming Center. Rais-ing them to the varsity level in

the fall of 1987 will not be difficult,

said DeFilippo. Considering theinterest in women's crew at theUniversity, and the proximity ofthe Schuylkill River among otherreasons, it was deemed logical for

the women's crew team to beelevated into a varsity sport,DeFilippo added.

"The adding of women's crewat Villanova is a whole lot different

than adding women's crew atKansas," said DeFilippo.

Men's ice hockey is the only aDivision III sport at the Universityand men's water polo is notsponsored by the Big East Con-ference so they will both belowered to the club level in thefall of 1998.

Although every school mustcreate individual plans to complywith gender equity standards,Villanova is not the only schoolthat opted tomake major cutbacksin men's swimming, said DeFilip-po. There will be at least five

programs in the Big East that will

give extremely few scholarshipsin this sport..Some schools will

give no scholarships to men'sswimming while four or fiyeothers will give less than three,

he added.

The projected numbers seen in

the chart are subject to change,said DeFilippo. Five years is a longtime in terms of athletic develop-

ments so none of the estimates canbe considered official, DeFilippoadded.

"This will be projected to 1998so you can't hold us to these[figures] because they mightchange just a little bit, but theyare going to be pretty darn close,"

said DeFilippo.

Gender equity:,: *w '


distribution substantially equal,

said Defilippo.

. The earliest measures of the

Athletic Department's five-year

plan were put into effect this fall

when the reallocation of scholar-

ships as they become available

was announced. (See chart.) Asecond full-time women's assist-

ant basketball coach was then

hired and a sports participation

cap was placed on certain men'steams, said DeFilippo.

DeFilippo's intention to movemen's water polo and ice hockeyto club level in the 1998-99 aca-

demic year was also announcedthis fall. Men's water polo and ice

hockey will be financed verysimilarly to the way each is

funded now, even though bothwill eventually compete against

club level teams from other insti-

tutions, said DeFilippo.

The participation limitation

plan will be put into effect in thefall of 1995 and the reallocation

of scholarships from the men'sprograms to the women's pro-

grams will continue as moneybecomes available after the springgraduation, DeFilippo added.Women's Crew at Villanova

will be elevated to the varsity level

in the fall of 1996 with an estimted40 participants, said DeFilippo.

The participation limitation planwill be in its second year at this

point while scholarship realloca-

tion continues.

A second club, women's waterpolo, will move to the varsity level

in the fall of 1997 with an esti-

mated 25 participants. The real-

location of scholarships will benear completion while still in thefourth year of plan, saidDeFilippo.

In the fall of 1998, the final year

of the Athletic Department's plan

to reach gender equity, men'swater polo and hockey will becomeclub spo^s. Scholarship realoca-

tion will be complete and partic-

ipation limitations will be in

effect, said DeFilippo. There will

then be 1 1 male varsity sports and13 female varsity sports in place.

Seventeen scholarships will bemoved from the men's programsto the women's programs becauseit would have been inconceivable

to raise $750,000 quickly enoughto balance the scholarship distri-

bution, said DeFilippo. Men'sswimming will be the first teamto lose its scholarships but themoney will be moved to benefit the

women only upon graduation andtransfer of the men's team, headded.

The Athletic Director will takeseven full scholarships and fourtuitions from this program butstill needs to reallocate eight morefulls. Where these scholarships

will come from will be decided byDeFilippo at a later date.

"I'm not sure if we're ahead, butI think that we are definitely onthe cutting edge of this issue,"

said DeFilippo. "We have a verysolid, sound five-year-plan and I

think it's safe to say that we'redefinitely on the cutting edge."Villanova University will

remain in a good legal position

through allof this according to

Dorothy Malloy, J.D., UniversityGeneral Counsel, who was thelegal counsel on the gender equityadvisory committee."What I would hope the court

would find is that Villanova hasa history and continuing practiceof program expansion that is

responsive to our women ath-letes," said Molloy. "That is whatthe law is requiring."

Pressure on women's soccer

PHOTO BY JIU DIBERARDINO

After postmg an impressive win over Richmond, 'Nova hopes to knockoff UConn at Storrs tomorrow afternoon.

Football romps(Continuedfrom page 20)

Junior linebackerAJ. Burawskiled the 'Nova defense with seventackles, two of which were forlosses. Andy Cobaugh finishedwith six tackles of his own,including a sack.

Marchese finished up 12 of 19for 177 yards and two touch-downs. He also led the Cats in

rushing with 77 yards on 15carries and two touchdowns.

"It was a big win for us," saidMarchese. "We felt like we neededto score some points early and wewere able to do that today.""Tom's performance was excel-

lent today," said Talley. "Hedeserves to start next week."Behind Marchese in rushing

was Shepard, who carried 11times for 58 yards. FreshmanCurtis Sifford ran the ball 11times for 54 yards.

Finneran led the receivers with

five catches for 97 yards for a 17.4

yard average.

Special teams play was high-

lighted by kicker Frank Venezia.Although he managed the 51 yardfield goal, he was also outstandingonkickoffs and punts. Out of thesix kickoffs he attempted, five

were touchbacks. He also tallied

a 42 yard punting average on five

punts.

It was a complete team effort

that propelled the Cats to theconvincing win.

"This was one we needed," saidTalley. "We're 3-2 and we haveseven seniors. We want people toknow we're back. It was a feel-

good win."

Villanova's next three gamesare away. Tomorrow, the Catstravel up to Storrs, CT to take onthe 1-3 Connecticut Huskies in aYankee Conference matchup.

By KATE SZUMANSKIEditor-in-Chief ^

Head Coach Sheldon Chamber-lain set two goals for the '94

Villanova women's soccer team:"to try and win the Big East, andto win an NCAA bid and enter thepost-season tournament." Withan overall record of 5-4-1 and anunimpressive Big East record of1-3-0 to date, the team's lofty

objectives for this season may bein desperate need of re-

adjustment.

The Wildcats took on the Nit-tany Lions of Penn State Wednes-day, Sept. 21, losing 1-0. "PennState is a good team with strongbacks," said Assistant CoachDave Masterson. "It was a goodgame end-to-end, but they justbeat us."

'Nova's defenders neutralizedPenn State's leading scorer, saidChamberlain. That was notenough, however, to prevent theNittany Lions from eventuallyscoring, serving the Cats theirfirst shut-out loss of the season.Penn State's lone goal painfullytrickled in the net, just beyond thegrasp of Wildcat goal keeperDiana Anes. And that was all theLions needed to secure the victory.The women returned to the

friendly confines of the WestCampus Soccer Complex Satur-day, Sept. 24, after two weeks onthe road to take on their newestBig East opponent, GeorgetownUniversity. The Wildcats con-tinued their undefeated streak athome, crushing the inexperiencedHoyas by a 7-0 score.

"Georgetown's soccer programis new to the Big East this year,"said^ Chamberlain. "Somedaythey'll improve and win somegames. That day, they didn't."Every player on the roster

received equal playing timeagainst G'Town, about 45 minuteseach, said Chamberlain. Fresh-man Nicole Posillico was first toscore off of a great pass fromfreshman forward Julie Flister6:05 minutes into the first half.

Senior forward and co-captainMarcy Micek was not far behind,scoring with 7:06 minutes into thefirst half off of a drop pass fromsophomore forward KathleenRoman. With 9:00 minutes intothe half, freshman Molly Bush-man scored off of a nice cross fromPosillico.

The Wildcats continued theiroffensive onslaught with a Romangoal late in the first half off of aFlister assist, her second of thegame. Sophomore Megan Schlus-

sel scored with 63:27 minutes onthe clock off of a comer kick tothe head from freshman ChristinaCoronoes.

Sophomore Gigi Romero scoredan unassisted long shot with 85:00minutes into the game. JuniorStacey Wallen took Romero's leadthree minutes later, scoring anunassisted goal off of a balldeflected off of the Hoya goalkeeper.

After their decisive victory overthe Hoyas, the Cats travelled toDelaware Thursday, Sept. 29, totake on the Blue Hens. The womenrecorded their first tie game of theyear, posting a 1-1 score. Posillicoscored an unassisted goal off ofa deflection in the first half with18:55 minutes into the game."Delaware is a very good team;

their backs played very well," saidMasterson.

Senior defender and co-captainRosemarie Miller and freshmandefender Stephanie Shields werestrong against Delaware, saidChamberlain. "Our defense had areal strong game as did our mid-field on defense. But on the attack,we only scored one goal. We hadthe wind at our backs for theentire game and should havescored more."

'Nova won the overtime tossagainst Delaware yet again failedto capitalize on the wind advan-tage. "The wind was blowing for15 minutes and we still couldn'tget a goal," said a frustratedChamberlain.On Sunday, Oct. 2, the Cats

traveled to the Big Apple, postingyet another Eiig East Conferenceloss, this time to the St. John'sRed Storm by a score of 1-3,

"Playing on the turf, we werea half of a step 'behind for theentire game," said Chamberlain."St. John's had two strong attacksthat got by our defense; our attackscored only one goal. We couldn'tget our attack going and didn't getany decent shots."

Freshman midfielder EileenMcCarthy scored 'Nova's onlygoal, a penalty shot with 23:34 onthe clock.

"St. John's took it to us," saidMasterson. "They had a couple ofgood forwards and we suffered acouple of defensive lapses. Theywere a decent team that beat us."

In order for the women's soccerteam to attain its goals for thisseason, it must win its tworemaining Big East Conferencegames. "This will be quite achallenge," said Chamberlain."UConn is ranked 12th nationallyand Seton Hall is a solid team."

If the Cats expect an invite tothe Big East tournament, wins inboth of these games are a must.The women travel to our

nation's capital this Sunday totake on American University."We're going to go down there andwin that game — one way oranother. It is a must-win for us.A victory will get us back on thewinning track."

The Cats return home Wednes-day, Oct. 12, to host the PrincetonUniversity Tigers at 4 p.m. andJames Madison University Sun-day, Oct. 16. The women thentravel to UConn and Seton HallOct. 19 and 22 respectively forwhat could possibly be their mostimportant matchups of theseason.

By MARK SPOONAUERAssistant Sports Editor

This past weekend the Villan-

ova University men's cross coun-try team traveled to Fayetteville,

AR to compete with 21 teams in

the Chile Pepper Festival HI. Themeet was held at the Universityof Arkansas, the site of the NCAADivision I Cross Country Cham-pionships to be held Nov. 21.

In a meet that included sevenmembers of the most recent Div-

ision I Top 25 Poll, as well as a

team of former Arkansas runners,the Wildcats finished ninth overall

with 211 points. 'Nova's Big EastConference rival Georgetown,despite not placing any runner in

the top 10, took top honors in theteam competition with 90 points

to edge host Arkansas' 97 points.

The Arkansas Alum, OklahomaState and Northern Arizonarespectively, finished third, fourth

and fifth.

In what was perhaps one of thebest non-championship meet fields

of the season, Louis Quintana,once again, led the Cats individ-

ually. Running strongly the entire

way, Quintana claimed thirdplace overall, covering the 8000m(approximately five mile) coursein only 23:50.7. Oklahoma State'sJon Wild (23:47.6) narrowly defeat-ed Quintana to take second placeand Godfrey Siamoisye of BlinnCollege won the race in 23:27.6.

Nevertheless, Quintana was plea-santly surprised with hisperformance.

"During the race I slowly movedup and finished only a second offmy personal best," said Quintana.As for the team, Quintana

pointed out that 'Nova's defeat ofArmy, who finished tenth with217 points, is a very positive sign.

"Army is the team we neededto beat, because they are in ourdistrict. The NCAA takes the topthree or four teams from eachdistrict to compete in the cham-pionships," said Quintana.Head Coach John Marshall's

second finisher, senior Ken Nason,also made an impressive individ-

ual showing, crossing the line

18th overall in 24:27.9.

Rounding out the scoring for

'Nova were juniors Todd Tresslerand Kevin Christiani and senior

Stephen Howard. Tressler(25:30.6) and Christiani (25:43.0)finished in 62nd and 74th places,respectively. In his second evercollegiate race, Howard finished81st in 25:49.3.

First-year head coach JohnMarshall was pleased with histeam's performance.

"I thought our men ran verywell," said Marshall. "We still

have a long way to go, but CoachCJim] Tuppeny did a good jobpreparing the team for this meet.This team has tremendous heartand shows a lot of guts and willcontinue to improve as the seasongoes on."

According to the NCAA DivisionI Martin Surfacing Men's CrossCounty Coaches Association Pollreleased Oct. 4, Villanova ranks24th nationally. Georgetown,aided by their victory over Arkan-sas, now ranks No. 1 with 10 first

place votes. Arkansas is a closesecond with five first place votes.Big East foe Providence is ranked14th.

The Cats are off this weekend,but will compete at the Universityof Maryland Invitational in Col-

lege Park, MD Oct. 15. Althoughthe competition is not expected tobe fierce, 'Nova will have theopportunity to sample differentrunning strategies.

"The teams Icompeting inMaryland] shouldn't pose a threat,but we will be able to experimentand see what kind of race fits usbest," said Quintana.

Spiders fall prey to Cat explosion, 38^6'Nova dominates Richmond;Venenzia boots record 51-yard kick

By TODD LESKANIC^orts Editor

It was an explosion of offense

mixed with solid defense and anoutstanding kicking game. Thatwas the story last Saturday in

Villanova's(3-2, 1-2) 38-6 poundingof visiting Richmond (3-2, 1-2).

"Ithink today we finally pack-

aged a good, consistent offense

with a great defense along withspecial teams," said Head CoachAndy Talley. "I hope this is a sign

of things to come."Despite the lopsided final, the

first half of the game was quite

a different story. A Kyle Heltoninterception with under six min-utes left in the first quarter set

up 'Nova's first score, a TomMarchese keeper from three yardsout. The early touchdown gavedie Cats a 7-0 lead with 3:40 left

in the first.

The score would remain the

same until the end of the first half.

With :0l showing on the clock,

Talley sent in kicker Frank Venen-zia to attempt a 51 yard field goal.

Venezia promptly split theuprights breaking the schoolrecord and sending 'Nova to the

half with a 10-0 lead.

"I couldn't see it go through,"

said Venezia, "but when I saw the

refs it was a great feeling. It gaveus some momentum."

"Frank's kick was a kick of

motivation," said Talley.

The Wildcat defense shined in

the first half, allowing Richmondjust 101 yards of offense. Rich-

mond's Ail-American runningback Uly Scott managed just 23yards on eight carries in the half.

Marchese completed eight of 12

passes for 79 yards in the first

half. Brian Finneran led receivers

with four catches for 42 yards. Onthe ground, sophomore tailback

Steve Shepard ran 10 times for 50yards.

"There was a real good moodin the locker room at the half,"

said Talley. "Our defense wasplaying well and we felt confidentwe could do something offensively

in the second half."

The 'Nova onslaught began onthe first possession of the secondhalf. Marchese ran it in again, this

time from 10 yards out on anoption play. The run capped an82 yard drive that took 10 playsand 3:09. The key play on the drivewas a Marchese 24 yard run, made15 yards longer by a personal foul

penalty on Richmond. The touch-down gave the Cats a comfortable17-0 lead with 11:51 left in thethird quarter.

The defense held the Spiders to

three-and-out. Junior Pete Petrillo

returned the Richmond punt 25yards to the Richmond 27, givingthe Cats another excellent oppor-tunity to score. It took just six

plays and 2:36 before 'Nova putit in the end zone again. This timeit was sophomore running backAnthony Cowsette scoring thetouchdown on a three yard runoff left tackle. With under eight

minutes gone by in the third, theCats had already put 24 points onthe board.

On the ensuing Richmond drive,

cornerback Curtis Dunaway rec-

overed a Uly Scott fumble on the'Nova 42 yard-line, giving thesurging 'Nova offence still anotherchance to pad their already biglead. On the very next play.

The Villanov^ defense, here shown slowing down a baU carrier, had a superb showing againstKichmond. The Spiders managed just 304 total yards for the game.

Marchese connected with BrianFinneran, who ran through aRichmond tackier for a 55 yardtouchdown. This gave Villanovaa 31-0 advantage with 4:21 left in

the third.

The Cat defense was relentless.

The following Richmond drive led

to nothing and with 1:18 still left

in the third, the Cats took posses-sion again. Marchese put togetherstill another scoring drive, cappedby a 25 yard touchdown comple-tion to Rob Carter with 12:21 left

in the game. The drive covered 66yards in nine plays and 3:57.

That would be all the scoring'Nova would need. Richmond did,

however, manage to get past theCat defense. Richmond quarter-back Joe Elrod ran in a touchdownon an option play from sevenyards out with 4:15 left in thegame. To add insult to injury, thepoint after was blocked by BrianFinneran.

"This is probably the worstgame we've played in a few years,"said Richmond Head Coach JimMarshall. "If we could find a wayto shoot ourselves in the foot, wedid it," he added.

Although the offense played abig role in the win, the defensemade it possible.

"We thought we could run the

ball on them but we struggled in

the first half," said Talley. "Butthe defense held and we were able

to try new things on offense."

Richmond managed just 304yards for the game. Joe Elrodfinished 22 of 41 for 192 yards andone interception. Elrod also led theSpiders on the ground with 75yards on 15 carries. The 'Novadefense made Scott disappear, ashe carried 14 times for only 38yards.

"I thought we had a good weekof practice," said Marshall. "Wecame up here and we just didn't

play."

Villanova has jumped out to an impressive start behind anoffense that has ranked first in the nation for two straight weeks.

By JOE PATTERSONAssistant Sports Editor

'

The Villanova women's volley-

ball team continued its impressiveseason with four victories this

past weekend. After beating Del-

aware, Lehigh and Lafayette, theWildcats capped the weekendwith a 3-1 victory against St.

John's in their first Big Eastmatch.

"St. John's came in here really

fired up," said Head Coach RonTwomey. "We got the job done,but still can do better in thefuture. I think the team will pickit up."

Freshman Stacy Evans led theoffensive barrage with 15 kills,

marking the tenth time this yearthat she has totalled at least this

many kills. She also scored ateam-high five aces and recordeda team-high 18 digs. Evans con-tinues to lead the conference in

hitting and blocking and is rankedfifth in the nation in attackpercentage. She was also namedBig East Player of the Week.

"She's an exceptional player,"

said Twomey. "I think she's got

to be one of the favorites for

Rookie of the Year in the Big EastConference."

On Friday, the team beat Del-

aware 3-1. On Saturday, theWildcats found themselves in afive game shoot-out againstLehigh.

"We came out flat againstLehigh and Lehigh played a great

match against us," said Twomey.Nevertheless, 'Nova prevailed,

thanks in large part toJunior Cari

Clawson.' Clawson served theWildcats out to a 7-0 lead in therally point of the fifth game. Shealso tied her career-record of 62set assists.

"You can't ask for more thana setter," said Twomey. "I thinkshe's going to be one of the goodsetters in the Big East Conferencethis year," he added.Twomey also points to Claw-

son's leadership abilities as a key

to the Wildcat success.

"When she gets vocal and whenher intensity raises up, the levelof play of the team increasesdramatically," said Twomey."She can be a great leader."Another main contributor to the

squad is senior co-captain MaraAustrins. Austrins leads the con-ference in defense and is hittingthe ball well.

"[Mara] is picking up every-thing and keeping us in a lot ofmatches with her defense," statedTwomey.

After defeating Lehigh in themorning, the team travelled toLafayette for an afternoon game

The team coasted to an easy 3-

victory.

As a team, 'Nova has led thenation in offense for two consec-utive weeks."The offense is great," said

Twomey. "When the team servesthe ball at us, we're siding out at

a very high percentage and really

making it frustrating for ouropponents."

The offense is dominatingbecause of Eyans, Clawson andanother first year player, MarisaDavidson. Davidson ranks thirdin the conference with an attackpercentage of .370. With a com-bination of good passing, settingand hitting, Villanova has firmlyestablished a dominating style of

offense.

"It's fun to watch," said Two-mey. "It's pretty good powervolleyball, but we just need to

work on our defense. The offenseis very effective. It's fun to watchus putting the ball away."

Villanova's undefeated seasonwas stopped two weekends ago atthe William and MSiry Invitation-al. The team played Yale as wellas American and William andMary, two high quality teams.William and Mary defeated theWildcats in an exciting five gamemarathon.

"It was a great match," said

Twomey. "It was really goodDivision I volleyball."

American also notched a five

game victory versus Villanova.

"[In the American match, therewas] a alot of pressure, a lot of

good shots coming at us, and a lot

The mind feeds eating disorders, starves the body Spanish journal: maicinga homeinSevillaBy REGINA M. OTOOLEAssistant Features Editor

Throughout the country, eatingdisorders affect people obsessedwith an irrational fear of being fat.

An eating disorder, as defined bythe American Psychiatric Associ-

ation (APA), is "a psychological

illness in which victims becomeobsessed with food and with their

body weight." In many cases this

leads to self-starvation, anorexia

nervosa or binge-and-purge eating,

known as bulimia nervosa. Com-pulsive over-eating is also the

result of a psychological illness.

According to the National Asso-ciation of Anorexia Nervosa andAssociated Diseases (ANAD), anestimated 8 million people suffer

from eating disorders. It is mostcommon among females, 95 per-

cent of which are between the

ages of 12 and 25, but it is growingmore serious among males.

"I've had adolescents at eight

and 10 who've had it. For themit's a method for attention, butthey can't get out of the routine,"

said Dr. Dennis A. Boyle Jr.,

medical director of the Villanova

Health Center.

Students entering college are

coming from a secure, smallatmosphere at home and are

entering a larger atmosphere withmore social pressures, more schoolproblems and altogether anincreased level of stress, saidBoyle. "They lose their appetitedue to stress and can fall into aroutine of not eating," he added.

People with anorexia or bulimiatend to be overachievers, saidBoyle. They are extremely critical

of themselves and "try to bethinner than they should be" in

order to meet social criteria, Boyleadded.

There are several theories as to

the cause of eating disorders.According to the APA, psychia-trists believe victims of eatingdisorders are trying to gain control

of their lives. They may have adistorted body image of biochem-ical imbalances associated withdepression and are focusing onfood as a result.

The question of treatment of

eating disorders is difficult to

answer. The APA warns that"simply restoring a person to

normal weight or temporarilyending the binge-purge cycle doesnot address [the underlyingcause]." Treatment should focuson "correcting the patient's dis-

torted body image, improving self-

confidence and self-esteem, treat-

ing underlying depression, estab-

• PHOTO BY CHRISTINE SERVECMOPhilosopher Jacques Derrida spoke at Villanova Oct. 3.

Derrida inaugurates

doctorate programBy CHRISTINE SERVEDIOSpecial to the Villanovan

World renowned philosopherJacques Derrida participated in a

panel discussion with VillanovaUniversity professors at the inaug-

ural celebration of the DoctoralProgram in Philosophy Oct. 3.

Although he was born in Algeria

in 1930, Derrida has consideredFrance his home since 1949.There he has published worksconcerning philosophical theorywhich have proven influential in

such fields as theology, literature,

architecture, legal studies, aes-

thetics and the feministmovement.The idea of deconstruction

forms the basis for Derrida'sphilosophy.

According to David R. Cook,professor of philosophy, Dr. JohnD. Caputo, "while the word decon-

struction sounds negative, theidea is affirmative."

The deconstruction movementlooks to keep anything that is

structured and rigid, such asinstitutions, laws or interpreta-

tions of texts flexible and chan-geable with the time. In addition,

deconstruction emphasizes th';

establishment of new themes apdof new ways to approach prob-

lems, said Derrida.

The panel, which consisted of

Walter Brogan, Thomas Busch,Caputo and Dennis Schmidt,focused on such topics as Greekphilosophy versus contemporaryphilosophy, justice and theology.

According to Derrida, "philo-sophy is and is not Greek." Headded that we have to go back toGreek origins to learn where wecome from and to analyze history.

The current world outside of


lishing normal eating habits andpreventing relapse."

"[The cure] depends on theseverity," said Boyle. "Somesufferers require hospitalization,

some just counseling. No medi-cines are available, [that is why]severe diligence and observationis required."

Most people who have an eating

disorder refuse to admit it and will

not ask for help. "It is usually afriend who gets them to go for

help," said Boyle.

The problem comes down to

getting into a routine that youcannot get out of, concluded Boyle.

That is why early detection and

treatment is vital.

The consequences of long term

eating disorders are frightening.

The APA cautions that without

treatment these illnesses cancause malnutrition, heart prob-

lems and even death.

This problem can be cured. If

you suspect this problem, or are

concerned about either anorexia

or bulimia, contact the CounselingCenter (519-4050). Both individual

and group counseling is available.

There is also off-campus help. TheBryn Mawr Hospital has a center

for eating disorders as well as in-

patient and out-patient programs.

A hot-line for bulimia and anorex-ia help is 1-800-227-4785.

Take backthe paperand frash

By SUE DAVIDSONSpecial to the Viilanovan

Gabe and I set off on our recy-cling quest, riding in one of thosecool blue pickups bearing theVillanova logo. If you have seenthem around, you know what I'mtalking about. Ours stalled out afew times, but we were undaunted— brave, bold and ready foradventure as we headed out to

conquer Villanova 's undergroundworld of recycling.

I quickly learn how heavy news-paper can be as Gabe and I loadpiles of it on the truck fromHartley, Kennedy, Falvey and theMonastery, among others. Weempty the truck twice, and myarms are killing me. The card-board, at least, is light. Too badthere is so much of it! Then camethe plastics.

mMon tor ^Sm Qlf^

l||^ seal <^ the

smell is terrtbie.

We arrived at Dougherty andGabe directed me towards a large

airtight metal door. Once we openit I realize the reason for theairtight seal — the smell is ter-

rible. I guess it was nothing newto Gabe, however, because hecalmly began sorting through theblack garbage bags to find theplastics.

"Nope, this one's just garbage,"he says, holding it out to me. I'mtrying not to gag at this point, sothe best I can manage is a nod.

Next, Gabe holds up a pickle-

reeking plastic jar, coated with

what appears to be green slime.

He explains that if the plastic

containers are not rinsed tho-

roughly, or contaminated in anyway, they are useless to therecycler.

"Great," I think, "all of this for

nothing!"

To be fair, however, the otherdining halls' plastics were muchcleaner than Dougherty's andsmelled less. By the time Gabe and

I finished collecting the plastics

it was quitting time. As I headedtowards the car, sore, tired, anddreaming of a long shower, Gabecalled out to me."Tomorrow, Sue, we'll do plas-

tics." Why do I hear the themefrom The Twilight Zone playinginside my head???

This is the second installment ofa three part series.

Polystyrene.

It's everywhere: the CornerGrille, the Day Hop, ConnellyCenter and Bartley Cafe.

It's an environmentalist'snightmare.

Unfortunately, it is also the

University's recycling program'sbiggest challenge.

The closest recycler of polysty-

rene. The National PolystyreneRecycling Company, has a plant

in NewJersey. It will gladly accept

material from the University andeven pay us a little for it, butVillanova first has to pay to

transport it there. The plant will

only accept polystyrene by the

tractor-trailer load. This meansthe University has to find a wayto store the polystyrene until it

has accumulated an acceptable

amount and then pay for a tractor-

trailer to ship it in.

The plant requires that thepolystyrene be free of contamina-tion or the load will be rejected.

This poses an additional problembecause it means that the usedpolystyrene must be washed.Polystyrene is used in the ComerGrill, Day Hop, Connelly Centerand Bartley Cafe because they

lack the facilities to wash the

polystyrene.

Assuming the University doesfind a way to wash it, the plant

may reject it for any reason. The I

University would have to pay to

transport the material back to the

University and then have it

brought to the landfill.

Villanova Recycling is still

exploring options, however, andhopes to find an environmentallysound and cost-effective

alternative.

There are a few things that the

Villanova community can do right

now to help the polystyrene prob-

lem. In the Day Hop and ComerGrill, use the washable plastic

baskets whenever possible. Re-

use the polystyrene plates instead

of taking a second one.

Also, this year the Universityhas implemented a reusable mugprogram with the Eco-Mug. Byusing the mug, you will not onlylimit the University's use of

polystyrene, you will save moneyon your drink.

By following these simple sug-

gestions until the University hasa viable alternative to polystyrene,

we can all help preserve theenvironment and make the Uni-

versity a more environmentallyfriendly school.

to the room to unpack. I really

underpacked. I felt I should havebrought more t-shirts, my skigloves, and a towel. I just sat therecontemplating how long fivemonths were and that I was hereto stay. I went down for a nap at

7:45 p.m. and told her to wake meup at 8:30 p.m. for dinner, butwarned her it was hard to wakeme up. I woke up in total darknessat 2 a.m. So I missed dinner.Turned on the lights and wrotein my journal and thought aboutthings until 5 a.m. Went back to

sleep.

Lunes —

Woke up early and had a break-fast of hard buttered toast and

coffee. Walked over to the Torredel Oro (Tower of Gold) to meetthe group and take my placementexam. I crossed a sweeping greenriver lined with boats and othergood stuff. Walked past the Helade-ria, Gelateria, Cafeteria, Libreria

and Cervezeria; past the stone-faced man kneeling on the side-

walk with outstretched palms,past the newspaper and tobaccostands, past the blind peopleselling lottery tickets. EverywhereI looked was beautiful — the palmtrees, the cathedral, the fountains,the statues, the traiffic circles, thewomen, even the pigeons. Theywere so white! It was almost as

if I were in a dream. This couldn't

be true. A vendor sold hot roasted

chestnuts in the street. A fewmopeds rushed by. Boom! —

another gorgeous Spaniard. I wasstoked to be here.

The university was more like

a medieval castle — just huge.Statues lined the halls and open-air courtyards. There were twobar-cafes within the university

near an outdoor patio and foun-

tain. We took the hour-long test

in a freezing-cold classroom andleft.

After the exam, it was time for

siesta. The city shuts down from2 p.m.-5 p.m. so everyone can eat

and sleep. I love that — you'rebasically forced to relax. It's sucha simple idea the United States

could really use. I don't think it

would work though — everyonewould use the time to work andget ahead on the competition.

E A T U R E S

Person to person . . . There is no place like homeBy TARA CAMPITIELLOFeatures Editor

In hopes of trying to get throughthe horror of mid-terms next weekI think it would be best if we focus

on the following week of relax-

ation, fall break.

What could be better than anentire week at home while the

parents are at work and you tease

your younger siblings as theytrudge off to school as usual.

Granted, not everyone will be able

to sleep late and channel surf all

day long. Some will be workingor volunteering their time for

different services. However, at

least it's a change from the cam-pus scene.

There is one scene at homewhich everyone dreads . . . run-

ning into "old high schoolchums."You have heard it, said it or

thought it yourself a million times

before, "I don't want to go there,

everyone I went to high school

with will be there."

Don't get me wrong, I'm not

bitter about my high school years.

I actually had a better time thanmost at Tottenville High School.

I'm talking about those virtually

inconsequential people you weresomewhat familiar with in high

school, whose random encounterbecomes late breaking news whenyou are talking to your best friend.

"You'll never believe who I ran

into today!"

"Who? Who?!""Jim Leyden.

"

"Yeah. . .who is that?"

"He dated Jen, Maria's best

friend. She sat next to me in Italian

junior year."

"Oh."

You suddenly realize your best

friend has as much to say "post-

encounter" as you did when youmet up with good ol' John. . . uhJim.

You know the scenario. You canbe hanging out at a local wateringhole or just on a quick errand for

mom when just as you look upfrom the bar or check the price

on strained tomatoes you makeeye contact.

From here the conversationensues. Or should I say lack of

conversation. It's always thesame "hellos" and "how are yous"and "where are you going to

school again?"

Sometimes I feel as if I speakmore to these people during these

"run-ins" than I ever did in high

school. Not to say anything at all

would probably be deemed as

rude. I guess it is just one of those

hopeless situations in life whichare as awkward as they areinevitable.

Actually more awkward thanrunning into "Maria's best

friend's boyfriend" (who probably

has a new girlfriend by now, not

that I would dare touch on such

a subject with anyone I haven't

spoken to in more than three

weeks let alone three years) is

running into someone you hadbeen close to; they key words here

being "had been."

Most of us have at least one high

school friend with whom we are

regretfully no longer in touch. Thereasons often vary in degree of

severity or stupidity (your point

of view often changes as time

elapses).

Some friendships can not han-

dle the demanding strain of dis-

tance. Shame often causes manyto refrain from keeping in touch

with friends when they realize

that seasons have changed morethan once since the last time youspoke. And the most difficult

reason to deal with is absolutely

no reason at all.

Most of my close friends from

high school I still count among mybest friends today, however, there

is one friend, whom after manytearful attempts to salvage our

friendship since I left New Yorkthree years ago, I no longer speak

to. There was no fight or brawl,

there was just nothing left for noreason at all.

Life is strange. People drift into

your life as quickly as they leave.

become as awkward as those with

.the "Maria's best friend's boy-

friend's" of the world.

Lost friends aren't to be consi-

dered as being as unmemorable as

"Jim Leyden." Although the friend-

ship is faded it served its purpose'

during its time, as it does at this

time. . . as a memory to learn from.

So hold your head high at homeand say hello. You may notgenuinely care how "Jim" is

doing, but chances are he doesn'tcare either. Friends you haven'tspokened to are just that, friends

whom you haven't spokento. . .whether or not you pick upthe phone is not a reflection onyou as a person.

PRESENTING 1994'S NEW SHOWST

^Chicago Hope'

By KAREN GOULARTAssistant Entertainment Editor

^^\\Tc're carrying thisT network! ' pro-

claimed the gap-toothed god of

late night, David Letterman,last week about his home baseCBS. Unfortunately for the big

eye, Dave's revelation was notall that far from the truth.

CBS' new fall line up is well

below spectacular as the first

couple weeks of Neilsen ratings

have indicated. However, if onecan stick it out until Thursdaynight, he or she might just see

CBS' one faint glimmer of

"Hope" in an otherwise dismalseason.

"Chicago Hope," the newmedical drama, starringMandy Patinkin and airing at

10 p.m. on Thursdays, mightbe the only elixer that can keepCBS' credibility alive this

season as far as new programsare concerned. While it hasbeen accused of being exces-

sively graphic during surgeryscenes, there are few flaws to

**Chicogo Hope''

CBSfChanneMO)Thursday, 1 p.m.

be found in this exceptional

new series.

The acting is top notch andalthough it sometimes borderson melodramatic, it never quite

crosses the line. Some of the

storylines may seem a little outof the ordinary at times, (the

first show centered around the

separation of Siamese twins)

but did not audiences seeenough gun shot wounds andopen heart surgery on "St.

Elsewhere"?

The only thing that couldhinder the seemingly certain

success of "Chicago Hope" is

its unfortunate time slot oppo-site NBC's own highly acclaim-ed medical drama "ER." Thenagain, that is what VCRs arefor—start studying those man-uals.

The Martin

Short Show'

By PATRICK LYNCHStaff Reporter

Dennis Miller's television

show was yanked off theair in a blink. Even ChevyChase could not hang on long.

And these guys had late-late

night shows that were compet-ing against either QVC or TheWeather Channel. Now, anoth-er veteran of "Saturday NightLive," Martin Short, thinks hecan last during the rigorousscheduling and competition of

prime-time television with his

"The Martin Short Show."Sorry Martin, think again.

'nriM Maritoi MMft

NBC (Channel 3)

Tuesd^ 8:30 p.m.

"The Martin Short Show" is

actually a show within a show.It features Martin Short star-

ring in his own show with

different guests each week. But"The Martin Short Show" also

portrays what happens to Mar-tin Short outside of his show,with his family and the "real

world" at large. This is a kind

of "Seinfeld" or "HomeImprovement" set-up in whichthe inner "show" has moreemphasis.

One major problem of this

alleged sitcom, is that it is not

funny at all. In fact, down-right

stupid is a better description.

Even the multi-talented andhilarious Jan Hooks (another

SNL alum) cannot save this

farce. If the first two episodes

were any indication of what is

to come then Mr. Short will not

last another blink.

'Blue Skies'

By MARY PROUKOUStaffReporter

^ ^f^ lue Skies," the newestJ-> addition to ABC's sit-

com family, airs on Mondaysat 8:30 p.m. after the ever sopopular "Coach." The show is

about two young men, playedby Matt Roth and CoreyParker, who start their ownbusiness together, called BlueSkies, which resembles L.L.

Bean. The show picks up after

the first year they have beenin business. Roth and Parkerdiscover that they have not

made any profit because their

accountant, Parker's cousinRichard Kind, has been embez-zling money.

ABC (Channel 6)

Monday, 8:30 p.m.

Kind's replacement is ayoung, bright, beautiful accoun-

tant from Harvard played byJulia Cambell, who becomes a

third partner because thepartners cannot afford to payher. The show has potential,

but the acting needs improve-ment. Richard Kind makes the

show worthwhile, but unless

the rest of the cast improvesits acting skills "Blue Skies"may not survive more than oneseason.

'Sweet Justice'

By ERIC CHEUNGEntertainment Editor

Along with its sleeper hit

"Sisters," NBC offers awonderful Saturday night for

quality drama with "SweetJustice." "Justice" focuses onKate Delacroy (Melissa Gil-

bert), a resourceful lawyer still

learning the ropes and discov-

ering what she really wants to

do with her life.

Kate, an idealist originally

intending to practice law in

New York, discovers that fight-

ing the wealth of injustices in

her home town is more fulfil-

ling than anything she hasdone before. Unfortunately,her desires to defend the under-

dog and the under-privilegkl

take on the establishment —place her against the interests

of her father, James Lee Del-

acroy (Rony Cox), who headsone of the town's most power-ful law firms.

NBC (Channel 3)

Adding insult to injury, Katehas aligned herself with herfather's rival Cary Grace Battle

African American attorneywho has fought to change theways of the "Old South."Previous episodes have dealt

with child custody, a female's

affair between a teacher andstudent that leads to murder.An extraordinary drama, "Jus-

adolescence. The show stars

Claire Danes as the confused

Angela who is struggling to

find herself.

Angela's problems centeraround her efforts to be accept-

ed by her peers and her con-

flicts with her mother. Theseissues clash which brings to

the show a serious and realistic

atmosphere. Unfortunately,that seems to harm the showin the ratings.

Although "My So CalledLife" is considered one of thebest drama shows on television

in years, its heavy topic makesit unsettling to many viewers.

The acting is superb and thesubject matter is realistic. Seeit now before it is canceled.

Tarty of Five'

By MAURA GIBNEYStaff Reporter

i JTjartv of Five" is a wel-

X^come addition to the

new fall television line-up.

Thankfully, viewers are not

confronted with another dramaabout a sickeningly sweet fam-

ily whose crises are miracu-

lously resolved in an hour.

Instead, "Party of Five" hon-

estly portrays a family whostrives for what most families

desire: togetherness.

FOX (Channel 29)

JMtonday, 9 p,m.

This goal is seriously hin-

dered by the death of both

parents which leaves eachchild at some kind of impasse.

The only thing they can all

agree on is the importance of

remaining together as a family.

With this desire in mind, they

establish a custom of eating

together weekly at their

father's restaurant, Salinger's,

to resolve problems, such as

how \o pay the plumber and

touch base with the goings-on

in each other's lives. Hence, the

show's name is "Party of

Five."

^Something Wilder'

By ERIC CHEUNGEntertainment Editor

Starting late in the Fall

season comes yet another

comedian-thinks-he-deserves-

his-own-sitcom show, this time

from Gene Wilder. "SomethingWilder" depicts the life of anaging man, Gene (played byGene Wilder) who is still learn-

ing how to manage the joys of

parenthood and the drudgeryof daily work with the struggles

of maintaining a fulfilling

relationship.

NBC (Channel 3)

Saturday, 8:30 p.m.

The premier episode whichaired last Saturday demon-strated just how far this showwill have to come before it canconsistently entertain. Thephysical comedy, such as aclassic Gene Wilder bathroomscene, points to some potential

elements that could raise this

series above the cauldron of

numerous other sitcoms all

boiling to get viewership.

Unfortunately, the showtries too hard to combine charmand sincerity with humor. In

other words, it strives to offer

in vain what many other sit-

coms offer more effectively.

Last week's episode did feature

one touching moment as Genepeered through a window at his

two kids on their first dayof,pre-school. His conflicting

desires of protecting them andletting them go, showed clearly

on his face. "Wilder" couldgrow into a worthwhile series

someday. But for now viewerswill find that there is "some-thing better" to watch ontelevision elsewhere.

*ER'

By BARBARA COLESt4^ff Reporter

Ten years ago, television

culture in Americachanged drastically as Thurs-day night took on a new mean-ing. Streets remained desertedas viewers simultaneouslytuned in to "The Cosby Show."Now, another development will

once again redefine Thursdaynights. NBC has discovered yet

another blockbuster success:

"ER."Created by Michael Crich-

ton, "ER" is not just anothermedical drama regurgitatingone more portrayal of theheroic doctor dedicated to theselfless world of medicine.Rather, "ER" focuses on theresidents' struggle to steal afew more winks of sleep, to

prove themselves to the staff

doctors and, most importantly,to survive.

The view of a resident's life

that "ER" depicts is harsh,showing how isolated theyoung doctors are throughtheir unawareness of weatherconditions and the world out-

side hospital walls, their failing

marriages and relationshipsand their morale, which slowlyebbs away with each endlesshour of sleepless shifts.

NBC (Channel 3)

Thursday, 1 p.m.

The dizzying tempo of the

show reflects the chaotic rushthat surrounds medical emer-gencies as the doctors bustle in

a whir of realistic, but not

overly graphic, procedures.When the emergencies eventu-

ally subside, however, the level

of suspense does not fade away.Instead, the tension is main-tained because, as one nursecomments, the chaos is only

over "for now.""ER" addresses culturally

relevant issues such as racial

prejudice, domestic violence,

language barriers and drunk-driving, while also avoidingmaudlin predictability. Thesituations appear far fromstaged. The actors are trans-

formed into doctors and theviewer is transported to the

emergency room almost asinstantaneously as the ambu-lances wheel in victims. TheThe audience sees Anthony

Edwards, George Clooney,Noah Wyle and Sherry String-field at the beginning of their

shift, when the rejuvenatedteam jokes with each other in

casual camaraderie. Beforelong the gains and losses of theday wear away at their energyand patience. The actors per-

form this subtle transforma-tion superbly.

An experienced doctoradvises one of the residents, "if

there is one thing you learn in -

my job, it's that nothing is

certain." But that doctor is

mistaken, for "ER" is quite

certain to be the award sweeperthis fall and for seasons to

come.

Monsterbteaks new ground for R.E.

fliliilw9 flaS«flVa

By DAVID GREAVESStaff Reporter

The newly released R.E.M.

album. Monster, paints a

decidedly unique picture com-

pared to its previous records.

Monster, as the title indicates, has

a fuller, more overpowering soundthan traditional R.E.M. material.

It resonates with feedback to

produce a more raw, forceful

sound that is typically associated

with Seattle grunge rock. Despite

the changes, R.E.M. continues to

show its artistic integrity andexperimentalist nature in anexcellent alternative musicrecord.

The only other album that even

closely resembles Monster, is

Murmur, R.E.M. 's first release.

Even then, the only close compar-

ison which can be drawn is the

unintelligibility of most of the

lyrics. The first release fromMonster, entitled "What's the

Frequency, Kenneth?" begins

with a powerful guitar riff andchurns into a fast-paced rocker of

a song.

Throughout the album, Michael

Stipe's voice, Mike Mills' bass,

Peter Buck's guitar and Bill

Berry's drums can all be distin-

guished clearly in each song. Noneof the individual members of

R.E.M. get buried in the varied

levels of distortion heaped uponeach selection. Rather, with each

listening of a particular song, a

different instrument seems to

come to the forefront.

Producer Scott Litt deserves

much of the credit for the fuller,

more powerful sound of Monster.

The successful incorporation of a

string section in several of the

songs on the last two R.E.M.

albums. Automatic for the People

and Out of Time, is mainly attrib-

utable to Scott Litt's excellent

production work.

Michael Stipe's voice flows very

clearly and carefully over every

word, conveying the purpose andmeaning of the lyrics. After the

first song on Monster, however,

Stipe's singing is covered morefully in layers of distortion. His

voice warbles and wanes in each

song, yet it maintains its forceful-

ness throughout the album.

The songs on Monster are dif-

ferent from past R.E.M. material.

The slow, rhapsodic melody of

"Sweetness Follows," from Auto-

matic, and the annoyingly peppy"Shiny Happy People," from Outof Time, give way to harder, moreintense songs like "Bang andBlame" and "Let Me In." Anothersurely successful song is "Star69," in which Stipe comically

chants, "I know you called" in the

chorus.

Monstermay alienate some fans

of R.E.M. 's older material, but the

band's willingness to experiment,

its consummate talent, and pro-

duction expertise should quell anyill feelings.

R.E.M. has planned a world

tour that should arrive in the

United States sometime this com-ing spring.

Burton brings eccentric 'EdWood' to lifeBy ANDREW J. GRIBBINStaff Reporter

Tim Burton's new movie "EdWood" stars Johnny Depp as

the eccentric, young film producer

who considers himself the next

Orson Wells of the movie industry.

This true story of Edward D.

Wood, Jr., writer, producer and

actor chronicles the beginning of

the movie industry's greatest "B"movie creator. Anyone who has

seen any of Ed Wood's movies

knows — Tim Burton hit the nail

on the head. Those movies were

bad.

"Ed Wood" the movie, though,

is a sensation. Filmed in black and

white to give a feel for Hollywood's

early days, this film covers Wood's

life from his first break into the

movies to his first "hit." This two-

hour flick is well worth the cost

of admission.

Ed is a man with ideas, dreams

and a fetish for angora sweaters.

Bela Lugosi, the original Dracula,

is a bitter old man at the end of

his movie career, who has not

acted in years. Wood has always

been his No. 1 fan and when he

spots him trying on coffins for

size, Ed jumps at the chance to

meet him. They become good

friends and Ed is determined to

get Lugosi back into the swing of

Hollywood when Ed makes his

first movie.

The first break Ed gets is with

a low-budget film company that

does not care about quality and

only wants profits. Their movie"I Had a Sex Change" needs a

script and director. Ed Wood gives

them two strong reasons to hire

him. He can get Lugosi for cheapand he wears women's clothing all

the time. When he gets the job he

changes the story to "Glen or

Glenda" and also stars in it in full

drag. The film is modeled after his

own life.

Without much acclaim for his

efforts, he is determined to raise

enough money to film his master-

piece "Bride of the Atom." After

much compromise, such as letting

his backer's son have a major role,

the film is made. This movie is

retitled "Bride of the Monster"

and is so bad that today it can be

seen on "Mystery Science Theater

3000." With even more fire and

determmation, Ed goes on to make"Plan 9 From Outer Space" with

the funding of a Baptist Church.

The crux of this film is the

relationship between Bela Lugosi

and Ed Wood. They are the best

of friends and will do anything for

each other. In between the laughs.

Burton is able to make an incred-

ible story line.

Burton should also be compli-mented on the excellent castingfor this movie. Martin Landau is

indistinguishable from Bela Lugo-

si. And if Hulk Hogan was good

in "Rocky HI," George "TheAnimal" Steel acts his heart out

in this film.

Ttiree acts perform witti varying successBy J.E. TENENBAUMStaff Reporter

That Dog took the Trocadero

stage on Sept. 20, kicking,

shouting and acting generally

ninja-like. They seemed rather

young. Guitarist/vDcalist Anne,

bassist Rachel, violinist/vocalist

Petra and drummer Tony all

looked like this gig was supple-

menting their jobs at Mickey D's.

In spite of their ages, however,

these people knew their music.

They began with a soft, three-

part harmony selection which

quickly slid into their chunkily

guitared and heavily drummed hit

"Grunge Couple" off of the DGCRarities album. This ability to

vary their sound was That Dog's

strongest point. They could sway

from sweet, perfectly pitched

harmonies to squelching feedback.

One could imagine these kids in

their high school choruses. From

pianissimo (soft) to triple forte

(very loud). That Dog never bored.

Still the crowd (which, to bor-

row a modern cliche, smelled of

Teen Spirit) seemed to be anxious

for Weezer. Only a few people

seemed to pick up on the complex

and sophisticated layering of That

Dog's music. And no one seemed

to appreciate the most unique

aspect of their music: the violin.

As soon as the second song began,

Petra began to wail away, enthral-

ling some audience members.More than a simple gimmick, the

violin added a versatility andsharpness rare in today's music.

Most of the crowd unfortunate-

ly was unimpressed. One maneven yelled "play Skynyrd." High-

lights of That Dog's performance

included "Grunge (Couple" and

"Miss Rome," which is not

included on their self-titled debut.

One anonymous audience memberhad this to say about them: "They

use the violin like a wea-

pon...[they have] a lot of prom-

ise...! especially liked "Angel"

and "Grunge Couple."

Stereolab, on the other hand,

were not as thrilling. Their three

keyboards, two strat guitars, one

bass, one recorder-like wind instru-

ment, one drum set and tambou-

rine, were joined by two female

vocalists and a host of other

musicians.

At any given moment there

were many diferent instruments

playing. Abba-like chords (consist-

ing of lounge lizard harmonies and

choruses of "ba ba ba" and "la

la la") quickly wore thin. There

was very little variation from song

to song, but that was simply

because there was no variation

within the songs themselves.

Stereolab's formula — start

with heavy, throbbing drums; add

long, minor keyboard chords;

overlay a maniacally monotonousbass/vocal combo; drop in guitar

feedback and then, in perfect 4/

4 time, softly sing incoherent,

unintelligble lyrics — made for anunbearable set.

Obviously this music wasgeared toward the trance-happy

rave crowd. On the whole. Stereo-

lab sounds like what wouldhappen if Abba, Kraftwerk andDepeche Mode decided to cut analbum together and got stuck in

a groove. Random audiencemember quotes included, "Theymade me feel constipated," and"sometimes I'm telepathic. . . leanenvision this record with a deep

scratch in it, and it plays over andover and over and over. . .

"

And then there is Weezer. Theytook the stage suddenly and non-

chalantly. Two guys on guitar,

one on bass and one on drums.

The lead singer looked like KurtCobain's nerdy younger brother

sporting a Joey Ramone haircut.

They opened with "My Name is

Jonas" and the crowd was hooked.

In fact, maybe a few members of

the crowd were a little too hooked.

While high-energy hits like

"Jonas" and "Undone (The Sweat-er Song)" played, 15 to 20members of the mosh pit assaulted

other peaceful audience members.

But the music was amazing.

Weezer combined a variety of

style§ to produce an innovative,

dance-friendly sound. They

merged aspects of Ramones-liTce

pop and punk, such as repeated

major, chords and short, tight

songs, with traditional rock and

Hm vtoHn acfcted

o vMHiHINy andidKHpness ton in

fodciy's muiMo.roll themes (as in "Surf Rocks

America") and the oh-so-90's

grunge aspects ofgrowling guitars

and sudden bursts of electric

energy.

Then Weezer added '80s rock

ballad riffs that could have easily

been lifted from a Guns 'n Roses

set. To top it off, they varied their

style from the simply fast anddanceable to soft, subtle chord

progression-based melodies. Asone audience membercommented,"What can I say?. ..they kicked

[explicative deleted]. • they're a

force to be reckoned with."

O'Conhoi's effort provides proof of talentBy SIOBHAN MORRISStaffReporter

T Tniversal Mother, the latest

C/ release by Irish-born singer

Sinead O'Connor, has been long-

awaited by fans, enemies andcurious onlookers. O'Connor has

been a victim of controversy since

her last album, / Do Not WantWhat I Haven't Got. With it she

evoked the dislike of the holy Pope

and the even more holy FrankSinatra. The spirited, bald-headed

Dubliner may have offendednumerous people. However, is her

new release a form of redemption?

After listening intensely to O'Con-

nor's passionate voice deliver

various messages, it is uncertain

if she WANTS to be redeemed.

Instead, it is clear that she NEEDSto be redeemed so her audience

can continue to hear her music.

The album opens with a brief

speech written by GermaineGreer. She argues women need to

come together to break the pat-

riarchal politics we are born into.

Greer suggests we do this by not

referring to the plan as a matri-

archy but as a fraternity, a uni-

versal motherhood. She feels it is

up to women to "break the spiral"

which constricts women's rights

and to guarantee freedom. Thismentality sets the tone for O'Con-nor's tracks, "Red Football." Anexample of the lyrics include "Youmay not treat me like you do, I'mnot no animal in the zoo ...."

These words are sung in a threat-

ening chant like verse culminat-ing in an angry taunting of thelistener.

Sinead also covers the numer-ous social problems in Irish his-

tory. The radio accessible "Fam-ine" contains a rap formatcomplete with a dance beat that

deals with The Potato Famine of

1847. O'Connor feels students are

lied to about the accuracy of the

circumstances that led to this

catastrophe. She places the blameof Irish problems on the British

with the refrain, "I see the Irish

as a race like a child that got itself

bashed in the face." The English

have occupied Ireland for centur-

ies. Their presence continues to

be a source of the Irish people

losing their identity, their historyand their Gaelic culture. Anothertrack that reflects Irish society is

"Fire on Babylon." It alludes to

the pain involved in civil war. It

speaks of fathers and brothersbeing lost in exchange for theland.

The majority of the tracks aredeclarations of love towards var-

ious influences on O'Connor's life

and work. These subjects rangefrom her son Jake in "John, I LoveYou" and "My Dariing Child" to

friends and/or lovers in "In ThisHeart." These songs are as sweetas lullabies and are reminiscentof O'Connor's earlier work.

Sinead O'Connor has provenherself, once again, a valuable

songwriter and ethereal voicewhich represents the young emerg-ing Irish culture. Even if one haslittle interest in her subject mat-ter, one should purchase this

album just to hear an interesting

cover of Nirvana's "All Apolo-

gies." A helpful hint included in

the credits encourages the listener

to hear the entire album in

sequence. It does prove to be a

more powerful experience.

As for O'Connor's redemption, backs . . . "Thank you for stayingshe vents in her final track with me, thank you for not hurting"Thank You For Hearing Me" me." Any true O'Connor fan hasthat she is grateful towards her already picked up this soothingfans who had not turned their treasure.

Hole brings hardcore rock with an attitudeBy CARA BECKERICHStaffReporter

Courtney Love Cobain, front-

woman for the band Hole, is

a true goddess. She is the epitomeof what a woman should be. Sheis loud and blatant, she is brashand she is bright, but most of all

she is honest. And furthermore,she stole the show.

Love's godliness eminated fromthe Trocadero in Philly, Sept. 26,

as Hole took center stage. For a

woman who has battled a lot —drug addiction, almost losing herbaby because of it, the death of

her husband, Kurt Cobain, not to

mention the mass-hysteria that

followed and the recent death, asa result of drug overdose, of Holebassist", Kristen Pfaff— Love still

rocked hard and fast.

The new bassist, introduced asVanessa, seemed confident and

comfortable, adding just enoughsnotty rock-chick attitude to keepHole sounding like Hole. Theyplayed a 14-song set and a two-

song encore, consisting of "SheWalks Over Me" and "RockStar."Throughout the whole set. Love

threw plastic cupie dolls thatlittered the stage, out to theaudience. As an introduction to

one of the "quieter" songs, "Sof-

ter. Softest," Love shared. a little

story of a girl named Sheila whosmelled like pee and sat next to

her husband in grammar school.

She dedicated the song "to Sheila,

and to myself, because I smell like

pee too."

As if to say good-bye, Love gaveher hard-core fans who werewedged up in the front of the stageagainst the barricade, one last

display of her reckless spirit.

What seemed to be at first a reachinto the crowd so that loyal fanscould touch her hand, turned outto be a full-fledged leap right into

the crowd. The crowd surgedforward, with this fateful leap, asHole fanatics and Love obsessorsripped her clothes off in often

futile attempts to touch her.

But amid all the chaos causedwhen she jumped, from the bottomof the collapsed pile of fans, as the

surge to touch Lovegrew stronger,

one could hear the cry of one girl,

"Please don't hurt her; Stopgrabbing her; You're hurtingher."

She need not have worriedthough, Love certainly provedthat she can hold her own.

The environment playsa role in 'RiverWild'

+

By TRACY GALLIGHERStaff Reporter

It has adventure. It has excite-

ment. It is a two-hour suspense-

filled log flume ride. It is "TheRiver Wild" and the previews

were right: the vacation is defi-

nitely over.

"The River Wild" stars Oscar-

winner Meryl Streep as Gail

Hartman, a gutsy wife and mother

who has grown up navigating the

river. Gail has brought her hus-

band, played by David Straithaim,

and her young son on a white-

water rafting vacation to showthem her grassroots talents while

also trying to save her marriage.

The fun ends, however, whenthey meet Wade, (Kevin Bacon)

and his sidekick Terry. The two-

some are on the run after an

armed robbery and need Gail's

skill to get them down the river,

particularly through a treacher-

ous stretch known as theGauntlet.

Action is the strongest attrac-

tion of "The River Wild." MerylStreep takes on a different kindof role in this flick, a welcome and

successful change from her dra-

matic standard. She comes across

as both assertive and fun in the

part, showing a completely differ-

ent side of her acting ability.

Kevin Bacon is cast perfectly as

the cold and heartless criminal.

His forte seems to be in playing

the "bad guy." He is able to turn

his eyes to ice in certain scenes.

The dramatic tension betweenhim and Streep is electric.

One of the most unforgettable

aspects of the movie is the close-

ness to nature which it portrays.

Director Curtis Hanson displays

his gift for furnishing exactly the

right amount of suspense to keep

the audience on the edge of its

seat. The filming of the rapids

brings the audience right into the

boat with the characters as they

struggle against the river's force.

The scenery of the mountains andvalleys (mostly filmed in Montana)are dwarfing in their effect. All

of these things accent the need for

humans to work with nature as

a prevalent theme throughout the

movie.

Though "The River Wild" is

short on plot, it allows the clarity

of scenes to shine and the action

to be the only source of concen-

tration. The movie is successful

in its simplicity and is a must-see

for anyone who has ever been in

awe of the power of nature.

VintageA^deo: 'Night of the Living Dead'By STEVE GIBLINStaff Reporter

Chemical toilets. Pond scum.Road kill. These images, as

unsettling as they are, cannotcompare with the hideous evil

that is "Night of the Living Dead."Somewhere in the bowels of Block-buster Video, between the Segajamboree and the all-to-friendly

cashiers, this film sits waiting for

the next unsuspecting victim.

This movie is exceptionally hor-

rifying while being strikingly welldirected. Oh yea, and Big Bird is

a prophet from heaven. This so-

called "cult classic," bom out of

the 1950s American theater, is aninsult to the intelligence of anyfully functioning human.

George Romero, famed in the

past 10 years for his special

effects, must have had a few too

many while directing this out-

rageously bad picture. The plot is

short, sweet and the same as the

plot in every other horror movie.The good guys, played by Judith

O'Dea and Duane Jones, aretrapped in a deserted house. Themean and scary bad guys, thezombies, spend their time trying

the actors, due to the limited

dialogue really have no chance to

act. O'Dea 's character sees her

brother murdered, so for the rest

of the film she runs around like

Helen Keller on valium trying to

regain her speech.

The movie was apparentlymade because shock supposedly

sells. It seems to focus far too

much on making people disgusted

rather than making people scared.

The attackers are supposedly an

army of the dead, complete with

severed limbs and blood-covered

bodies. The catchy thing is that

they eat their victims. There is

a scene in this movie showing a

little girl eating a brain. This is

so completely ridiculous that it

really makes the viewer wonderwhen the lightning bolt is going

to hit George Romero in the skull

and put some decency in him.

Hopefully, there is enough good in

our world to dispel the evil this

film represents. (*)

Hootie and the Blowfish

build Philly following

By MARK McCREARYStaffReporter

Imagine a world where com-munication does not exist. The

existence of communication hasbeen reduced so nobody has thesame experiences or ways of

understanding and nobody cancompletely comprehend the mean-ing of another's ideas. In the areaof music, this hypothetical notion

can be applied. How can anyonehave any understanding of whata lyricist means if nobody cancommunicate? Still, despite thepopularity of this philosophy, it

can be proven invalid. Welcome to

the new release by Grant LeeBufialo, Mighty foe Moon.The music Grant Lee Buffalo

creates is on a, level that can begrasped by every listener and is

delivered in such a way that everyperson immediately understandsthe music.

Grant Lee Buffalo is a bandwhich has not yet received muchattention. Why? Because mostgreat bands of these days simplydo not receive justice. For mostpeople the name sounds like some'college band' whose followingconsists of *no-name band' fans.

The whole problem of their nameis easily resolved. The lead sin-

ger's name is Grant Lee Phillips,

and Buffalo' is a cool name. It is

time for potential listeners to getpast such stereotypes.

Grant Lee Buffalo emergedearly last year on the major label

Warner Brothers/Slash very quiet-

ly. In retrospect, Buffalo's Fuzzywas, arguably, the best release of

1993. Now with Mighty Joe Moon,Grant Lee Buffalo has returnedwith the same goods.

Mighty Joe Moon is a moremature, dreamy disc, relyingheavily on acoustics and Phillips'

appealing voice. The disc doesopen up with a twangy, electric

track entitled, "Lone Star Song."Even at this rate, Grant Lee doesnot venture out of the folk arena,rather opting to put more feeling

into their groove.

One thing which should becleared-up is this is not purely amellow folk band. There is defi-

nitely a strong backbone presentand the band does not retain waterto the point of boredom. Still, it

is necessary to acknowledge theband is carried by its meaningfullyrics and happy acoustic guitar.

Phillips has an amazingly soo-

thing voice which inundates the

listener. The flow of the disc

remains pretty consistent, withslight variations on only a coupleof the tracks.

"Side By Side" is one of theoutstanding tracks on the disc andshows the versatility of Grant Lee

By MICHELE CARROLLStaff Reporter

Hootie and the Blowfish,

among the new wave in

college music, played to a

packed house at the Theater of

the Living Arts (TLA) on SouthStreet, Sept. 24. The band,consisting of four talentedmembers, is originally fromCharleston, S.C., whichexplains the amount of Univer-sity of South Carolina hats andsweatshirts worn by the crowdin attendance. Playing mainlyat bars catering to college

crowds, Hootie and the Blow-fish spent their summer tour-

ing resort towns like Nan-tucket, Mass. where they filled

the venue three nights in a row.

The crowd at the TLA wasvery receptive to the band,most of whom had seen Hootie

before, but in a smaller club.

The show at the TLA was one

of the largest shows the bandhad ever done. They handled

the crowd like professionals,

bringing people to their feet for

two encores. During the

encores, they performed "Ziggy

Stardust," originally by DavidBowie, and "Mustang Sally."

Hootie pleased the crowd with

his smooth, strong voice in anacoustic version of "Goodbye."

Hootie and the Blovffish

sound like the Counting Crows,but with less whining. BoBlair, who is a die-hard Hootie

fan and attended the show at

the TLA disagrees, "His voice

sounds like no one else. Thatis the whole thing." Bo, whoattended his fourth Hootieshow, thought it is better to see

any band in a smaller venue,

but Hootie handled the crowdwell and seemed to please

everyone.

Their music, although mel-

low, has a tune that stays with

you after the show is over. Thelyrics are meaningful and inter-

esting to listen to while the

beat is one which makes youwant to sing and dance along

or just "hang out and listen,"

depending on your mood.Currently, Hootie and the

Blowfish have two videos onMTV: "Tenderness" and "I

Only Want To Be With You,"as well as a CD out in stores

now. They are making a namefor themselves among college

bands like The Dave MatthewsBand and The Samples.The band has gained notorie-

ty for playing in "off-the-

beaten track" locations andalways leaves the crowd want-ing more. Pete Sands, a Villan-

ova student, who also attended .

the show and is a big Hootiefan, summed up the effect of

the band by saying, "Hootierocks my soul."

Buffalo. With this single the bandis going to enter uncharted terri-

tory: radio airplay. This is thetype of song that will leave theradio listener comfortable withthe music on the radio. It has analmost poppy sound to, in aR.E.M.-like way. Sounds quirky,but it really works for the song.The last song on the disc, "Rock

of Ages," is a mellow and beautiful

song. The aesthetics of the songpermeate the speaker and leavebehind a pink ooze. This is really

an event that one must witnessfor oneself.

Unfortunately, like all greatdiscs, the 13 tracks lasting 48minutes goes by much too fast.

Somehow listeners are left want-ing more.

Slralegem big disappointment to fansBy JAY RACZKOWSKIStaff Reporter

Fresh on the heels of the suc-

cessful Sister Sweetly, Big

Head Todd and the Monsters haverecorded their second major-label

release. Although it is only their

second release on the Giant label,

the band members have sharpened

their teeth over the course of twoother releases: a live disc andAnother Mayberry. Each disc

incorporates a "less is more"philosophy. The band maintains

a delicate balance between guitar

hooks and soaring lead vocals.

Each song has a traditional

verse-chorus-verse structure with

melodic peaks that come about

slowly. Big Head Todd believes

that a musical "foreplay" is

necessary for each song. This

formula is refined and reworked

with the rewards apparent on the

album Sister Sweetly.

Usually a band's second major

release attracts the critical label

of "sophomore jinx." Up against

these big -expectations, Big HeadTodd produced Strategem. Thealbum notes include singer/guit-

arist Todd Marr's explanation of

the album. He explains that manyof the verses are "koans," "a

riddle Buddhist meditates" to

clear the mind. These include

eight or 10 syllable lines which

connect to one another like a

children's rhyme. Unfortunately,

this new writing style seems to

have inhibited the band.• Strategem differs in sound from

previous efforts but not necessar-

ily in a positive way. On tracks

such as "Kensington Line" and"Wearing Only Flowers," the

musical sound is busier, louder

and more cluttered. Gone are their

signature trade-offs between ToddMarr's great vocals and his accom-

panying guitar chords. The "less

is more" approach to their song-

writing has also departed. Busyguitar and percussion intermingle

as the song drives onward, stop-

ping only briefly for melody.

The disc does offer a few fine

moments tor Big Head Todd fans.

"In the Morning" and "Poor

Miss," two "leftovers" from their

prior album stand out against the

current material. These two songs

return to the musical formula

which brought Todd Marr critical

acclaim. "Candle 99" and "Sha-

dowlands" are also standout

tracks on the disc. The former

offers introspective lyrics while

the latter acts as a well-conceived

end to the disc.

Throughout Strategem, BigHead Todd is attempting to extend

its musical sound and style;

unfortunately, it only offers a

mixed-bag of music. Though the

disc does offer a few pleasing

tracks, they are carefully spread

out among those which fail to rise

above the muddling. Many fans

who are accustomed to a solid andsatisfying disc from beginning to

end will likely be disappointed.

However, the band's talent is

undeniable and we will certainly

hear from Big Head Todd again.

Gabriei amazes on Secret World UveBy JANET RUDDOCKStaff Reporter

Peter Gabriel's Secret World

Live CD brings to its audience

his flawless talents. The produc-

tion includes his most popular and

well-known pieces as well as those

which have not had extremeexposure.

So often when listening to a

concert one finds no resemblance

to the music he or she fell in love

with. With Peter Gabriel, this is

not the case. His Live renditions

are so well-orchestrated they

leave the listener in disbelief that

the music is truly live.

For some music-lovers this maybe a wonderful attribute, but for

others this can be a drawback.

The raw spontaneity that goes

along with a live show is extreme-

ly important. It shows the artist

in a different light. Peter Gabriel's

album does not achieve this.

Along with the album, Peter

PÂm OabrM'sSBcmtW0MU¥0i$ on aincKririg

pfoducMon,

Gabriel has also released the live

version of "Red Rain" as a single.

Surprisingly, there are two songs

on this single that cannot be found

on the Secret World Live CD, "SanJacinto" and "Mercy Street." This

leaves the listener disappointed;

after all, one assumes he or she

has bought the full production.

Despite the absence of these twosongs the listener does get his or

her money's worth. The appear-

ance of Paula Cole is an added

bonus. She is Kate Bush's replace-

ment and is a beautiful addition

to this well-contrived work.

Overall Peter Gabriel's Secret

World Live is an amazing produc-

tion, perfectly engineered andorchestrated, showing just howtalented he truly is. Unfortunate-

ly, if you own most of his work,

it may not be worth the purchase

because it resembles his studio

work so closely. On the other

hand, for those who have only

recently become fans, it is a

splendid collection of some of his

best work.

There seem to be a great deal

of things in life that just do

not sound all that pleasant pre-

ceded by the adjective raw. Rawmeat. Raw power. Raw Deal. And,

of course, raw music. Raw music

is untarnished, unbounded and

straight-up. Raw music can range

anywhere from folk to punk. It

just has to be real music and not

some let's-write-the-Grammy-speech-first-and-then-we'11-get-to-

the-songs rubbish.

Well, one of the newest pioneers

of this music is Archers of Loaf.

Thankfully so, they have released

a new LP, Archers of Loaf Versus

the Greatest ofAll Time. This five-

song CD is perhaps one of the

greatest outputs of the punk scene

in at least a few weeks. The band

comes from the heartland of the

Mid-Atlantic scene. This is the

same scene that has produced

other colossal underground bands

like Small-23 and the Grifters.

The band has a unique way of

combining dissonant sounding

noise and catchy songwriting into

a crafty blend.

The song "Lowest Part is Free"

is a wonderful song ragging on

typical bands which find it inter-

esting to write about familyleunions or something to that

effect. The song rants, "You got

nothing to say/ but you say it

anyway/ It's A and R." The song

then tastefully drones on a single

chord for a few seconds where it

suddenly segues into a completely

different song. This song, "Freez-

ing Point," has a more mellow feel

and is slightly reminiscent of a

couple of the better Pavementtunes.

The last three songs are a bit

more unconventional but are in noway a let down. Lyrically, Archersof Loaf may not be Hallmarkmaterial but that really is nottheir point. The album is melodic,powerful and yes, raw.

NTERTAINMENTMTVs 'Smart Sex' pervades living roomsBy ANDREW T. KEECHStaff Reporter

There are many different con-troversial topics discussed

among large and small groupseveryday. But there is always that

one topic that catches the eye of

the viewer— sex. It is a topic areaof great importance for our gener-ation because of the many differ-

ent types of STDs and the horrific

spread of the newest and deadliest

of these, AIDS.On Sept. 27 at 10 p.m., MTV

aired a one-hour special, "SmartSex," wîch featured an array of

young adults ranging between theages of 18 to 26. The show dealt

with candid discussions about theindividual's sexual experiences. It

explored attitudes and decisionsfrom their first sexual encounter,to their most recent encounter, to

becoming a "secondary virgin."

Because of its frankness. "Smart

THE ARTS

Sex" is much likeMTV's open andto-the-point "Real World.""Smart Sex" is hosted by the

ever-popular Christian Slater. Heexplains the purpose of the showwhen he states, "This programisn't meant to scare you. It's a

program about relationships,

about what people like you are

doing and not doing. This is a

story from the frontline— the line

we're all on." While Slater is the

host, the viewer only hears from

him in the beginning and at the

end of the show. There is not

necessarily a need for a host in

"Smart Sex."

MTV's "Smart Sex" has chosen

11 young adults from various

parts of the United States to take

part in an intimate, realistic

program that is strictly aimed at

their own experiences andrelationships.

Jamal, 23, and his cousin Emile,

20, are both heterosexual students

at the University of New Mexico.

They speak about their past

experiences when they did not

engage in safe sex. They say they

have learned, through time and

other people who have contracted

various STDs, that wearing a

condom is now a very important

part of their sexual life. They also

believe in and praise women whocarry condoms.

Brian, 26, is a white, gay male

who became sexually active at the

age of 15. This was a time whenhe had never heard about safe sex.

Because of this, he has tested

positive for HIV. He is a counselor

for gay, lesbian and bisexual

youths and has a steady, HFV-

negative boyfriend.

Carol, 23, is a white female whodiscovered when she was preg-

nant that she had contracted HIV.

She is a peer educator who travels

to various schools to speak can-

didly about her life, her illness and

how the knowledge she hasamassed over the years can helpyoung people. Her son David, 3,

has been tested numerous timesfor HIV and has been negativeeach time. However, Carolbelieves that if necessary, she will

sew a condom on her son to

prevent him from getting AIDS.Bill is a 19-year-old, white,

heterosexual male, who has hadnumerous sexual encounters withwomen, and who also claims hecan tell whether a women has adisease or not. He also believesthat he is invulnerable to all of

the STDs, including AIDS.Matt and Vickie are white, 23-

and 18-year-old college studentswho have had previous sexualencounters but have decided notto engage in sexual intercoursewith each other for the time being.

While these are only a few of

the young adults chosen, it is

understood that people have many

differences and beliefs when it

comes to talking about "Smart

The show "Smart Sex" is the

type of show from which a person

can obtain a great deal of infor-

mation. It is a topic that should

be discussed in greater length and

detail in families, in school and

also on television stations whichzoom in on today's young adults.

While the show does give manydifferent candid attitudes aboutsex, it helps people to realize howSTDs and AIDS can affect anyonewho is sexually active.

Because the show uses different

beliefs, it is meant to portray thesmartness of some people and thestupidity of others. Hopefully,smart sex will be practiced moreoften throughout the country dueto television shows such as this

one. Look for future rebroadcastsof this MTV special.

SHIN MATSUNAGA, PACKAGES FOR KIBUN CANNED FOOD. 1977

Viewers deliqht in 'Wliat Ttie Butler Saw*By BARBARA COLEStaff Reporter

Opening its 15th season, theWilma Theatre brings "What

the Butler Saw" to the stage withbrilliant hilarity. This Joe Ortonplay fits most easily into thesexual farce category,although it

also spoofs the mental healthworld.

Set in a mental institution of

sorts, Orton could not have founda better location for endless chaosand humorous antics. The action

starts out innocently enough,with Dr. Prentice interviewing his

potential secretary, GeraldineBarclay. He instructs her to

undress so he can conduct a

complete mental evaluation.

The bedlam that ensues whenthe doctor's wife, Mrs. Prentice,

enters the scene along with ahealth investigator and hotel bell

boy (to round out the lot) is

unbelievable. The confusionmounts even higher as everyconceivable aspect of abberantsexuality is incorporated into the

plot, including fetishism, trans-

vestism and adultery.

The play was completed in 1967

just months before Orton 's lover,

Halliwell, murdered him prior to

committing suicide. Orton wasonly 35 and at the pinnacle of

success; the dramatic world wasrobbed of one of the most comical

British playwrights.

Fortunately, "What the ButlerSaw" survives as a tribute to thecomedic genius of Orton. premier-ing two years after his death, this

controversial play practicallycaused rioting in London's WestEnd.

Director of the Wilma Theatreproduction, Blanka Ziaka elabor-

ates on the play's contribution:

"Orton transforms his anger at

society's taboos and rigid moralityinto outrageous comedy. His acidhumor is an individual's rageagainst the stifling consensus of

society."

Edmund C. Davys, as thesexually-deprived Dr. Prentice,

superbly portrays his growingfrustration as the ludicrous situa-

tion continues to escalate. Com-plementing his exasperation, themedical examiner, Dr. Ranee(Peter Kybart), causes Prentice to

swig tremendous volumes ofliquor with each exaggeratedpsychological implication of thecharacters' actions. The ensem-ble's antics are crowned by thepraiseworthy facial expressionsand stomach contorions of DavidMoreland as Sergeant Match.Author of the Orton biographi-

cal novel and current film. PickUp Your Ears, John Lahr notesthat "nobody came closer thanOrton to reviving on the English

stage the outrageous and violent

prankster's spirit of comedy andcreating the purest (and rarest) of

drama's by-products: joy." Theproof of this statement lies in the

production. If, by some miracle,

the play failed to evoke laughter

from the most somber audience

member, there was not a straight

face in the house during theraucous finale. For this reasonalone, the production should drawfull houses; it is the final bedlamwhich completes the play.

The Wilma Theatre's produc-tion of "What The Butler Saw"runs Tuesday through Sunday

until Oct. 30. Mr. Lahr will

conduct a free symposium on the

life and work of Joe Orton on Oct.

17. For more information onstudent discounts or to reserve

Page 40 • THE VILLANOVAN • October 7, 1994NTERTAINMENTExcHement marks 'DS9'By ERIC CHEUNGEntertainment Editor

T ast weekend's season openerJL^roved without a doubt, that

"Star Trek: Deep Space 9 (DS9)"has successfully stepped out of theshadow of the beloved "Star Trek:The Next Generation (TNG)"series.

For those unfamiliar with this

most recent "Star Trek" spinoff,

"DS9" takes place in a spacestation overlooking Bajor, a planet

that has gained its independencefrom the Cardassian empire in the

last few years. The charm of

"DS9" has been its rich charac-

terization and perpetually tensemood, created through its numer-ous conflicts. Bajorans distrust

and hate their former rulers, the

Cardassians. Both sides are still

unsure how to react to the Fed-

eration (a neutral organization of

planets, including Earth, whichcontrols the station and mediatesbetween the two peoples).

Adding to this milieu is thepresence of a wormhole (an inter-

galactic gateway connecting onesegment of the universe to anoth-

er), which leads to the Gammaquadrant. Last season's finale

introduced the ruling force in the

Gamma quadrant, a mysteriousempire called the Dominion. Pick-

ing up right where that episodeleft off, the season premier takes"DS9" to the next level of quality

sci-fi television.

The encounter with the Domin-ion has left "DS9" in a state of

panic for it seems inevitable that

the alien force will return across

the wormhole. In order to prevent

a major disaster for the station

and possibly Bajor, Sisko (Com-mander of DS9) has recentlyreturned from Federation Head-quarters with a warship called theDefiant. Many Trekkers will

recall the Federation featured in

"TNG" always maintained itself

as an organization for peace.

Unknown to all but the highestin command, the Federation hassecretly been building weapons of

war to deal with the threat theBorg (a race of android conquer-ors) once presented. Equippedwith more power than any otherFederation ship before, with little

allowances for medical needs or

a large crew, the Defiant's sole

purpose is to fight. Now it.seems,ships like the Defiant have a useagainst the Dominion.Knowing that even with the

ship, DS9 stands little chanceagainst the Dominion, Sisko,along with the other top officers,

embarks on a suicidal mission to

the Gamma quadrant to talk withthe leaders of the Dominion, called

the Founders. Besides the excitingpremise, the episode proved thecontinuing emphasis "DS9" pla-

ces on character development.All the major characters (Kira,

Dax, Bashir and Quark) are back,

each with an increasingly multi-

dimensional nature to them. How-

ever, this first episode focused

primarily on Sisko and shape-

changing Chief of Security Odo.Commander Sisko right from the

beginning has maintained his

discomfort with DS9, originally

wanting to stay on Earth with his

son Jake after the death of his

wife. However, as the viewer sees,

with the latest crises arising,

Sisko finally can call DS9 home.Meanwhile, Odo has had his

share of problems with the Fed-

eration ever since the show began.

Always resentful of authority,

Odo tended to do things his way.Again because of the Dominion i

threat, Odo finds himself bereft,

of his title as Security Chief. In

the eyes of the Federation, Odo is;

not a "team player" and therefore I

cannot work well as part of the

commanding team aboard thestation.

The action was certainlyintense and the special effects

were eye-popping. There wasmore morphing (shape-changing)

in this one episode than seeminglyin all of last season. The episode

ended with two climactic sequen-ces. The first is aboard theDefiant, which is given Rhomulan(another alien race) aid throughthe use of a cloaking device. In

spite of the new technology, the

£)ominion discovers the Defiantand a massive laser battle ensues,resulting in the apparent destruc-

tion of the Defiant.

Finally, Odo and Kira, whoinexplicably survive the fight, endup on a mysterious planet in the

Gamma quadrant. Much to eve-

ryone's surprise (including the

viewer's) this world is inhabited

by Odo's people. Although this


'Quiz Show* tests ethicsBy ELAINE PAOLONIAssistant Entertainment Editor

t^trmm^The American Dream. Almost

anything is possible. Almosteverything comes down to profit

margins and numbers. Almosteveryone would go to extremelengths to attain this popular goal.

Sometimes striving for the best

has positive effects — those whowork hard to reap the benefits —and sometimes, the pursuit of this

dream may have devastating

effects. How far ethical limits can

be stretched is the very essence

of the matter. How much will

people manipulate others in order

to obtain what they are fighting

for?

The problem here is that there

is no single, clear-cut answer.

People have varying degrees of

tolerance when it comes down to

"bending Jhe rules" or "changing

things around — just a little bit."

Perhaps this topic has not been

considered in the public eye since

the big pop music scandal of 1990

where by audiences were tricked

into believing that they werelistening to live performances bythe two performers on stagenamed Milli Vanilh.

However, because of the granddeception thrown over the headsof their devoted listeners andsupporters, the band was dis-

solved. Still the question remainedat parties and social gatherings of

whether Milli Vanilli did anythingreally wrong. Ethics is an endless

and extremely subjective topic.

Now, four years following this

musical scandal, another contro-

versial event is being projected

into the limelight. A new release

from Hollywood Pictures underthe production and direction of

Robert Redford has brought the

ethics of television and entertain-

ment to the big screen. "QuizShow" reveals the conflicts andactual decisions that such tamper-

ing with the truth and reality canhave on the people involved in the

subterfuge.

The picture opens with the

introduction of Herbie StempelJohn Turturro), hero of "Twenty-One," a game show of the 1950s.

Stempel is the reigning championbut because he no longer is "bring-

ing in the ratings," the top exec-

utives at the studio decide to

dump him. Right away, movieaudiences are made aware of the

fact that the show is rigged.

Stempel struggles with the idea

of letting his glory loose, but

under the condition that he will

receive a panel show on NBC, the

star succumbs to the station's

decree not to talk.

A well-known society figure,

Charles Van Doren (RalphFiennes), s<Jn of poet Mark VanDoren, is takei\ by the whole idea

of game shows and decided to

audition for a spot on "Tic-Tac-

Toe." Immediately, the people at

the station know that Van Dorenis their new man for "Twenty-One."Although Van Doren is a very

smart man, the producers DanEnright (David Paymer) andAlbert Freedman (Hank Azaria)

must convince the new prospect

that this is a business and in order

for ratings to increase, Van Dorenmust continue to win. The only

way to ensure this is to provide

the contestant with the answersto the questions. At first. VanDoren is quite unsure about this

arrangement, however, eventuallyhe becomes heavily involved in the

ruse himself.

Rob Morrow of "Northern Expo-sure" plays Dick'. Goodwin, aWashington, D.C. -attorney whoorganizes a congressional investi-

gation on the show, "Twenty-One," after reading an article in

a New York newspaper reporting

some allegations made by HerbieStempel once he was refused his

panel show. Following much labor

and frustration with the peopleinvolved in the quiz show, Good-win finally stumbles across somevaluable information. The case is

taken to court where Stempelspeaks his part once again.Although up to this point. VanDoren had denied any connectionto the dishonest practices, at last

he comes forward to testify.

Words alone cannot do justice

to this film. It is the emotion andintensity among characters andcircumstances which give "QuizShow" its vivacity. The charac-

ters are amazing, thanks to the

professional level of acting exhi-

bited by the performers. Theproduction is rated PG-13 and hasa running time of two hours and15 minutes. This is an incredible

movie; so far one of the few in 1994

that should not be missed.

cny Of 5ii) explores musicai boundariesBy MICHAEL BECKERICHStaff Reporter

The band's press touts ThisPicture as "Peter Gabriel's

favorite band." This summer, theCleveland magazine Scene pro-claimed This Picture capable ofproviding "funk overtones thatadd a sensual spunk that can outINXS INXS."This Picture's newest release

on Arista records. City ofSin, lives

up to its high expectations. It is

great sounding music. This Pic-

ture cannot be branded alterna-tive, pop or rock. They are amasterful blend of all three typesof music.

Of the 11 tracks on CiTy of Sin,three songs can be classified asalternative, two as deep balladsand the rest as mature rock.Mature, meaning the songs arecarefully mixed together. Thedrums and guitar do not drownout the lyrics or backgroundinstruments.

The best songs on the CD are"The Great Escape" and "Syca-more Seeds." "The Great Escape"has wonderful texture. The piano

mixes well with the backgroundinstruments and clear vocals.Lead singer, Symon Bye, sings oflove being the great escape forpeople. He asks in the song, "Areyou waiting for the greatestescape of all/ What do you searchfor with those innocent eyes?""Sycamore Seeds" is one of

those songs that makes one say"Wow, this is hoppin'. Who singsthat?" The use of the keyboardand upbeat rhythm make thissong a real winner.When listening to this British

group, the early '80s supergroupAsia comes to mind. They sharemany of the same qualities —clear vocals, a textured rhythmand the ability to turn up theintensity without turning up theamps. The progressive tinge thatguitarist Robert Forrester bringsto the songs is reminiscent ofTraffic and early Genesis.

Track four, "Hands on MySoul," is another four-star song.The chorus rings, "So lay yourhands on my soul/ It's there tobe taken whole/ Lay your handson my soul/ Your eyes are the door

to my soul." Love is a commontheme for this band. In the agewhen many are afraid of sexualactivity. This Picture stresses theneed to be with someone. Manyof their songs say, do not holdyourself back from love because•of fear, just be smart about it.

"Face Up to the Facts" con-fronts the reality of HIV. We mustface up to the facts that if wepractice unsafe sex or use drugs,the virus can get us.

City of Sin is the band's secondalbum. The first one faded outafter brief popularity in America.After changing record labels andlearning a lot about the musicbusiness, This Picture is ready toattack the States.

They have been touring thecountry and playing live at radiostations and record stores. Theyhope that their new label. Arista,can help their career in the sameway it helped the Crash TestDummies. This album has tre-

mendous peaks of intensity anddeep funky bass valleys. If onewants to catch a rising star. ThisPicture is definitely rising. Go out

heart-throb Jonathan Brandis as

Lucas, now an actual member of

the crew. Enhancing the crew is

Dr. Wendy Smith, a telepath, anda Genetically Engineered Life

Form (GELF) or a Dagger, as it

is called derisively.

More importantly have been the

imaginative subject matters dealt

with so far: a rebellion by the

GELFs, contact with alien life

forms and a strange phenomenonwhich causes people to turn evil.

I travelled through Monet's

garden, saw Toulouse Lautrec's

women of the evening and met

members of Mary Cassat's family.

While strolling around one rather

large Rodin sculpture I realized

that it was getting later and it

might be time for me to press on

to the Modern Art section.

After descending the stairs I

entered the 70s, '80s and 90s, and

even glimpsed the future. I wasmesmerized by four portrayals of

Jackie Onassis by Andy Warhol,

himself. In this part of the muse-

um I found myself contemplating

such questions as "Is this

scorched field an acknowledge-

ment of mankind's capacity for

ultimate destruction, or does the

faint gold behind the word Nigredo

refer to possibilities of spiritual

transformation and renewal?"

By now it was almost 8:30 p.m.

and there was so much left to see..

There is that new Japan exhibit

and was I going to go back and

look at that little room I hadskipped earlier?

Time waits for no one not even

those sheltered within the con-

fines of the Art Museum. Alas

there is always next Wednesdaywith a different theme, morespecial programs including music,

entertainment, films, tours, lec-

tures, storytelling, demonstra-

tions, poetry readings, food anddrink. Oct. 26 will witness the

museum's version of Octoberfest

with some of the extras being a

dance performance and beer tast-

ing. On Nov. 2 the focus will be

Japanese design since 1950 andwill incorporate the current Jap-

anese art exhibit already in

existence.

Some nights there are fashion

shows, some nights Flamencodancing, and on Oct. 19 the head

chef from Le Bee Fin, one of

Philadelphia's leading restau-

rants, will be there giving a

lecture and luncheon.

There is always somethinggoing on at the Art Museum, Theadvantage of Wednesdays is that

the Museum is open late. It is a

nice break. It is also informative,

intoxicating and satisfactory in a

different sense than one wouldnormally assume. For more infor-

mation call 684-7860.
