Letters to the Editor The positive aspects of the Greek system To The Editor: On Monday, Apnl9,1990, at the meeting

of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, a campus organization, a group of students, the Greeks, were subject to a barrage of accusations. Unsubstantiated claims and sweeping generalizations were eloquently articulated by another group of students who termed themselves “progressive.”

As leaders of the Inter-Greek Council, we were truly caught off guard and felt attacked by the level of hostility we en- countered when Lisa Schwarz read from a prepared statement. We heard ourselves labeled as sexist, racist, and classist with the further insistence that when we were- n’t out committing felonies we were ei- ther perpetuating “misogyny” or “anti- humanistic values.”

The above represents harsh criticism that deliberately offended over 900 indi- viduals. It does not escape us that such unfounded accusations simply could not have been leveled at any other campus organization without resulting in charges of harassment.

As spokespersons for the IGC, we ar- rived at the faculty meeting not to pro- claim ourselves free of fault, but to ex- press the genuine strides toward positive change that we continue to make. These changes have been ridiculed as “baby steps.” On the contrary, the turnaround in social responsibility via the newly implemented policy has been nothing short of drastic. The IGC-mandated presence of detail officers and the increased accountability of fraternity members has led to an ever- decreasing number of alcohol-related abuses and fights. This did not happen overnight, but it did happen. We are now only four semesters into the policy; the Greek sys- tem has been without a single social pol- icy violation since last November. . Turning to the first of Schwan’s sev- eral unfair charges -- the blanket label of sexist was an affront to the 300 female members of the Greek System. To insinu- ate that these women have intentionally chosen to join and support an institution inherently plagued with the systematic oppression of their own gender is, at the very least, insulting. Additionally, for a group of predominantly white individuals to explain the low number of black stu- dents in Tufts fraternities and sororities as solely a direct reaction to racism is noth- ing short of irresponsible. According to Douglas Seaton, pan-hellenic council chair, thissimply is not the case. We question how Schwarz determined herself as able to invalidate the claims of some black students whose reasons for joining histori- cally blackGreek organizations stem from their desires to fraternally identify with achievement-oriented individuals while sharing in their common African-Ameri- can heritage.

Clearly, just as Schwarz’ charge of sexism discounts the female members of our system, so does her charge of racism discount the Black, Asian, Hispanic, and other people of color who have chosen a place in our Greek System.

Schwarz accused the Greeks of being classist. At no time did she reference the hefty portion of Greek students on finan- cial aid. She neglected to note that Greek students comprise the vast majority of attenders at the recent financial aid rally. Also, Schwarz failed to recognize that fraternity and sorority housing continues to be by far the most economical housing available to students on or off campus. It is this same affordable housing that served as the crux of the absurd contention that these buildings are home to individuals who “reflect the worst of American soci- ety.”

The blatant implications that Greeks are felons are barely worthy of response. To our knowledge neither Schwarz nor any of the group she represents have ever, (despite the obvious unreasonable breaches of confidentiality this would entail), ap- proached the IGC for its Judicial Board records, or asked for those kept by the

University. Further testimony to this de- liberate lack of research is evidenced by the citations “misogynist” and “anti- humanistic.” Had Schwm asked any female Greeks if they would term themselves or their male counterparts as exhibiting mi- sogynistic “hatred towards women,” the answer would have undoubtedly been a resounding “No.”Furthermore, we find it difficult to even acknowledge the term “anti-humanistic” as applicable to climates we see as dedicated to fostering the devel- opment, achievement, and sense of com- munity service as we see our organiza- tions.

In summary, Tufts’ Greek system has been subject to unwarranted attack. By our attention to the Administration and faculty’s constructive criticism, in our attempts to address the community’s con- cerns, and through our progress, we have proven ourselves receptive to thedemands of reform with which we wholeheartedly agree.

Quite simply, the Greek system most certainly did not merit this hostility. The Greek community is undeserving of this “progressive” group’s attempt to deny, 20 percent of the student body its right to exi’st.

Brett Ingerman A’9 1 IGC President

Julie Jones J’91 IGC Vice President

A&S should listen to CFS To the Editor:

My purpose in writing this letter is to elucidate the events that occurred at the Mocday, April 9 faculty meeting relative to the report from the Committee on Fra- ternity and Sorority Life. Provost Sol Gittleman presented the results of the two- year study of Greek life, and supported the

- continued existence +of fraternities and sororities on this campus after noting the progress the IGC has made in terms of responsibility, self-governance, philan- thropic activity, and community aware- ness. The acceptance of this report by the faculty, however, was halted when a stu- dent from a “progressive student group,” presented an opposing point of view. After requesting that the faculty put off a deci- sion on accepting the CFS report, the student began a scathing criticism of the Greek life at Tufts and nationwide. Using national trends and unsupported generali- zations, she proceeded to accuse the Greeks on this campus, in the words of one faculty member, of “everything short of stealing babies.”

The most upsetting part of the meeting was not her opinion, however, since ev- eryone is entitled to their point of view, but rather the faculty’s glossing-over of CFS report. Most of the faculty members who spoke during the meeting seemed to forget that they had commissioned the CFS two years ago to investigate the status of Greek life and report back to the full faculty on their findings. They were commissioned, in fact, to investigate the same sort of charges that were leveled at the Greek system on Monday. Their find- ings, as reported by Sol Gittleman, were that the claims were unsubstantiated and the Greek system, fully capable of self- governance, had provided meaningful reforms, and had demonstrated a willing- ness to fully cooperate with the University and abide by its rules and regulations. In direct opposition to the woman from the “progressive student group,” Gittleman noted that the presence of Greeks on campus contributes to diversity and offers stu- dents who are interested in Greek life an avenue to fulfill their wishes. Further- more, he noted that the precondition that the faculty insisted upon two years ago -- that fraternities and sororities operate according to Tufts guidelines, or not at all -- had been satisfactorily achieved.

I am regretful that the faculty was so quick to ignore the findings of the impar-

tial, non-Greek, Committee on Fraternity and Sorority Life in order to allow the clearly partial, anti-Greek, small progres- sive group time to present their opinions to the faculty again in a month. Unless the faculty wishes to give more validity to the accusations leveled by a small group of students than to the report by their own fact-finding, observation committee, their only rational response to these accusa- tions would be to re-authorize the CFS to further investigate the renewed allega- tions. They should recognize, however, that there will always be a group on cam- pus that dislikes the Greek system and desires its eradication. The campus-wide referendum demonstrating over 90 per- cent support for the Greek system, com- bined with the 18 percent of this campus who are affiliated with Greek institutions, attests daily to the overwhelming student support forthis system, whichaveryvocal progressive student group wishes to see disappear. It seems ironic that this group wishes to ban Greek life from the univer- sity campus in the name of diversity, when true supporters of diversity would encour- age an open campus, free for all groups to participate in an the free interchange of ideas and activities. Just as a true cham- pion of free speech desires a free inter- change of expression, unrestricted to those with viewpoints that run counter to their own, so should true advocates of diversity and minority rights and alternate lifestyles. This “progressive student group,” doesn’t seem to believe in freedom of association, except for themselves. Their blind hatred of fraternities and sororities makes them vulnerable to the same claims of preju- dice, stereotyping, and close-mindedness that they level against Greeks.

Hopefully, the faculty will carefully heed the evaluation made by their own peers, and recognjze the Greek system for its positive attributes,, instead of repeat- edly giving credence to those who point out its flaws. The Greek system is an evolving +institution founded on friend- ship and individual conscience, promot- ing education, community values, matur- ity, and loyalty. It is an institution that is dedicated to recognizing its own flaws and remedying them as efficiently as possible. It is an institution that invariably provides undergraduates with one of their ‘most meaningful undergraduate experi- ences at Tufts, and one whose positive attributes should not be so readily over- looked in the face of a small group of vocal critics.

Op-ed article reinforced common misconceptions To the Editor:

For the better part of the school year, the pages of this newspaper have been used by a select group of students, most notably Wally Pansing, to assail various aspects of university life and society as a whole. Pansing’s recent comments about the Greek system are extremely disturb- ing. It is time for the members of this community to speak out and expose the hypocrisy and ignorance that run rampant through his arguments and those of a small minority of Tufts students. These students simply ignore the facts and the Tufts community must be made aware of this before any damage is done to an institu- tion that encompasses more members than any other organization on campus.

In a referendum sponsored by the Tufts Community Union Senate last year, over 90 percent of the Tufts student body voiced their support for the continued existence of the Greek system. Pansing is constantly referring to the many students who oppose the Greek system. I ask him, where were these students last year when they had ample opportunity to voice their concerns?

Letters to the Editor Vandalism is costly for all students To the Editor:

I think that anyone who had been there would agree that conditions in Eaton 206 were much improved last spring as aresult of the generous donation of one of our alumni. I was disgusted to learn last week that vandals had ripped the dedication plaque off the wall and discarded it behind a nearby building.

Outright gifts such as this serve to not only commemorate the memory of favor- ite teachers, important role models in our lives, but also to remove from tuition the cost of classroom maintcnancc. It would scem with all theemphasis currently being placcd on finding funds for financial aid, Tufts siudcnis would rccogqizc and climi- nate the senseless expense of vandalism.

In favor of legalization To the Editor:

Clifford Martin is right -- hemp should be legalized.

I also would like to add to his op-ed article by saying, as would many others who support the legalization of marijuana, that it seems foolish and hypocritical for our government to say yes to alcohol and no to weed. People should have the rights to enjoy either one.

One in favor of Tenenbaum ... To thc Editor:

I am writing to urge the frcshman class to support the candidacy of HarlanTenen- baum for Tufts Community Union presi- dent. There is no doubt in my mind that Tenenbaum is the most qualified candi- date. He has Years of experience, he is

responsible and he gets results: these are the characteristics theTCU president must have. The TCU president is the most important student leader in the Tufts community, and has more influence on students than most faculty. We have been fortunate; as freshmen, our TCU president had been a good one. As TCU vice-presi- dent, Tenenbaum worked directly with Billy Jacobson; only Tenenbaum can truly continue to do the things that we saw Jacobson do.

Think for a moment of the positive implications Tenenbaum’s victory will mean for us, the class of 1993. Every time we step on the 96 bus to Harvard Square, we should be sure to thank him. He rcpre- sentcd the Tufts community at a niccling to lobby thc MBTA with Mcdlord and Somcrvillc officials to kcep the 96 run- ning by our campus. How many of us arc allcctcd by financial aid, and rcmciribcr the rally? Tenenbaum was a key organizer of it. By electing Tenenbaum, we will continue the line of effective leadership. This will certainly have lasting effects on our class for the next three years. To all

current freshmen; I cannotexpress enough the importance of your vote for Tenen- baum on Thursday.

... and one for Barnes To the editor:

Since elected in February of 1989, I have stood on a platform of Senate ac- countability. In evaluating the impending presidential election, I have found Julian Barnes to be more responsive to the needs of his constituency. As a senator who renewed efforts to raise money for the Ronald Blackbum Scholarship Founda- tion, and as a major figure in the financial aid rally, Bariics has conuibuted to the welfare of the TCU as a whole.

Eithcr candidatc would makc a capablc TCU prcsidcnl. Howcvcr, on thc basis on accountability, Barnes is the best candi- date for TCU president.

Libyan-backed Palestinian group frees European couple and child

PARIS (AP) -- The Libyan-backed Palestinian group headed by Abu Nidal freed a French woman, a Belgian man and their young daughter Tuesday after holding them for nearly two and one half years.

The three arrived at a military airport outside Paris Late Tuesday after a five-hour flight from Beirut, where they had been dropped off at theFrenchEmbassy by masked gunmen who arrived in cars with drawn curtains.

Jacqueline ValentC 32;’ Fer- nand Houtekins, 43, and their 2- year-old daughter Sophie-Liberte, born in captivity, were met by jubilant relatives and French of- ficials, but made no public state- ments. They were taken to a mili- tary hospital to spend their first night in freedom after 882 days in captivity.

Abu Nidal’s group announced Nov. 8, 1987, it had seized the hostages from the French yacht Silco in the Mediterranean off the Gaza Strip. It accused them of collaborating with Israel’s Mos- sad intelligence agency. Friends said the group was on a holiday cruise.

The French government thanked Libyan leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi for his role in thereleaseand said relations with Libya would improve. Gadhafi last week called for the release of hostages as a humanitarian ges- ture.

The hostages, released by the Fatah-Revolutionary Council on Tuesday morning to French Embassy officials, used an ex- ecutive jet in Beirut provided by the French government to fly to Villacoublay near Paris. Ms. Valente was the first to disem- bark, followed by Houtekins, holding their daughter in his arms.

The Fatah-Revolutionary Council has been blamed for scores of terrorist acts, including the December 1985 attacks on Rome and Vienna airports that killed more than 20 people.

Because the hostages were believed to have been held in Libya, the case is considered unrelated to the 18 Westerners, including eight Americans, held in Lebanon by pro-Iranian Shiite Moslem factions.

However, Fatah spokesman Walid Khaled denied assertions that the hostages had been held in

Libya. Speaking at a news con- ference in Beirut, he said the hostages had been kept in Leba- non.

The State Department wel- comed the release and called for freeing of other captives.

The release came a month after France returned to Libya three French-made Mirage jet fighters that had been in France for re- pairs since 1986. The return of the planes was blocked by an embargo imposed when Libya ahd .France backed opposing sides during the civil war in Chad.

In December, Libya, pressing for delivery of the aircraft, closed its ports to French ships.

Gadhafi saidTuesday that Abu Nidal’s group was “distancing” itself from its terrorist reputation by releasing the hostages,Libya’s official news agency JANA re- ported.

Last week, Gadhafi urged the release of hostages in the Middle East as a gesture for Ramadan, the Islamic holy month. He singled out Ms. Valente.

Gadhafi has supported Abu Nidal, who along with some of his followers has been convicted of terrorist attacks abroad. The Libyan leader is believed to have allowed him to live near the Lib- yan capital, Tripoli.

Houtekins said after his re- lease that four members of his family still held by the terrorist group are well.

“They have morale. They are holding firm,” he said, adding, “We expected our freedom, we knew it was coming one day. The day of our freedom has arrived. For those who stay behind, we keep hoping.”

“I embrace all my family. I am well, and the little one also,” Ms. Valente told French reporters.

Only two French news organi- zations were given access to the hostages.

The hostages refused to dis- cuss conditions of their captivity or where they were held. They did not mention a second child born in captivity in 1989.

French Ambassador Rene Ala said Ms. Valente told him the boy died recently of problems with his digestive system.

A police spokesman said Fmch officia1s“apparently had advance notice of the release. Ala was waiting at a cement outpost

manned by French Marine guards near the main gate” of the West Beirut compound.

In Beirut, the Fatah-Revolu- tionary spokesman said, “Direct talks between our movement and the French side have resulted in an agreement on their release.” Khaled did not elaborate.

There was no evidence of any deal, but French President Fran- cois Mtterrand personally thanked Gadhafi for“the determining role he played in the happy ending of this affair.”

Foreign Minister Roland Dumas praised what he called Gadhafi’s “noble” gesture.

“(Therelease’s) real value will be appreciated in the future of relations between France and Libya,” Dumas said without elabo- rating.

In Brussels, Foreign Minister Mark Eyskens said he hoped the release “can be considered as a testimony of good faith concern- ing the release of the other” hos- tages.

The Abu Nidal group still holds Houtekins’ brother Emmanuel, and Emmanuel’s wife and teen- age daughter and son.

There’s nothing quite like enjoying the taste of crispy, crunchy matzo after a full 357 days without it. With the very first bite, matzo caresses your tongue, the unusually flat flavor spreading out and covering your entire mouth in a matter of moments.

“Ah, the joys of Passover,” you think, reaching into the box of Goodman’s

Bill Shein for another square, p e r f o d sheet. “Yum, I truly love matzo,” you say, sinking your teeth

into it, watching with glee as it shatters into 34 pieces all over your lap.

Unfortunately, by the endof your third piece, good 01’ Goodman’s has successfully sucked every last trace of saliva from your mouth, and you notice that your skin and eyeballs are feeling quite dry as well. After a few minutes, your initial excitement is replaced with gloom. “I hate matzo,” you conclude, slumping in your chair as you think about the upcoming breadless and bagel-less week.

My friends who don’t celebrate Passover aren’t sym- pathetic: “Oh, gosh, I love matzo!” they say, making themselves a ham and cheese sandwich on matzo, taunt- ing me.

“Try eating it for a week!” I yell back, my voice scratchy because of a Sahara-like throat. “Then you’ll see why I’m sick of it!”

Why do Jews eat matzo?You see, whenourslavery in Egypt was ended, the Jews were expelled from the country without time to leaven bread for the journey

bread - matzo. During Passover, we give thanks to God for ending our enslavement, and eat matzo throughout the holiday to remember our heritage.

My family’s Passover celebration has traditionally been a huge gathering at my cousins’ home in New Jersey, where we get to catch-up on family news, play with lots of new babies, and try to keep our shoes from being removed by little cousin Geoffrey, who spends a good portion of the d e r under the table yanking at our feet. His parents spend a good portion of the seder yanking Geoffrey out from under the table, and yanking his collection of relative’s shoes out of his hands. I usually spend a good portion of the seder under the table as well, yanking Geoffrey’s hair until he gives back my shoes.

I usually eat too much, and occasionally dnnk too much. The seder traditionally includes four glasses of wine, enough to gently ease me into a deep, relaxing sleep, and enough to let me consume countless pieces of matzo without complaint.

When you think about it, matzo could serve many useful functions beyond the seder table. And because April is Earth Month, I thought I should discuss one of the most beneficial foods in our society -- unleavened bread, or as it is more commonly known, matzo. The baking and eating of matzo offers us the possibility to remove any need our society has for nutrition-less Wonder Bread and foul tasting wheat bread. If instead of legalizing “hemp” or ‘‘marijuana” or “hashish” or even all three, we pro- moted the widespread consumption of matzo, we could stop the deforestation of our planet, end the greenhouse effect. Drovide a new Tovota Celica to everyone over 16.

and probably solve every other conceivable problem thal we might ever face until the end of time. Of course, the end of time would never arrive since matzo could help us solve that sticky problem better than even the Hubble Space Telescope.

Matzo might even help us find out why another Daily columnist smugly considers himself and campus politi- cians and journalists to be “the student elite” when it’s possible that the “elite” are the students smart enough tc stay out of the whole stupid mess in the first place. Seriously, matzo could do all this.

I could write a book called The Emperor Really LikJ Matzo, and start a magazine called Matzo Times. We could have parties where we all play frisbee for a while then sit in a circle, get mellow, and pass around a dime box of matzo. My own experience has shown that eating matzo creates alpha waves, stimulating my “creative side, where I let go and the new energy comes in.’ Really. I’m not making this up and writing it in the Dail) to convince you that you should let me eat as much matzc as I want, and ignore the fact that it just isn’t very tastj after the first few pieces.

The harsh reality is that even when smothered in butter or cream cheese or peanut butter or hemp, matzo will never become a worldwide favorite. But theodds are good that it will never be made illegal. That means that exactly one year from now -- having forgotten this article -- you will place that first piece of matzo in your mouth ‘and say, “Yum, I truly love matzo.”

And for a few minutes, YOU will actually believe it.

LCS members work with Native Americans over Spring Break

by SHANNON ATLAS

During Spring Break, 14 Tufts students traveled with the Leonard Carmichael Society to Poplar, Montana, where they worked on a AssiniboineISioux Tribe Reser- vation in Fort Peck.

Students participating in LCS’s volunteer vacation visited A&S Tribal Industries, a four hundred employee factory that manufac- tures floatable and waterproof medicine chests and camouflage nets for the army, and a Native American Health Service. Stu- dents also visited a community college class on Native American dialects, played volleyball with the community, and cleaned and painted a local playground. There

Daily Staff Writer

The Lcs group who went to Montana to VOlunker On a Asshibind Sioux reservation

were group meetings every night. As Tufts student Ray Sikorski

said, the Native American people are “caught between two differ- entcultures.”They are in conflict over whether to keep their own culture or industrialize. In order to understand their plight, Sikorski feels that the “first step in making real changes is educating your- self.”

Many of the volunteers felt that the most worthwhile activity was arts and crafts with children in the cultural center.

“Crafts with the kids offered the most interaction with the people,” said Jen Gleason, organ- izer of the program. The children made tie-dyes, necklaces, and a mural that is now displayed in the community gym.

During the last night of the trip, there was a pot-luck dinner during which members of the community sang and danced while dressed in traditional clothing.

During their stay on the reser- vation, Tufts students learned about the Native American culture and the effects that white people have had on their existence. TheAssin- iboine/Sioux Reservation is comprised of 85 percent Native

American and 5 percent white people. Everyone lives in hous- ing and eats food provided by the government.

Unfortunately, due to the low nutritional quality of the food, health problems abound. There is an unusually high incidence of diabetes and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome among the Native American people. In addition, there is a large problem with alcohol- ism, drunk driving, domestic abuse, obesity, and unemployment. In response to the alcoholism an Alcoholic Anonymous center has been set up recently.

Aside from these occurrences, there is a drop-out rate in high schools of about 45-50 percent. Students do not have a strong incentive to stay in school be- cause they are so isolated. A town meeting that Tufts students at- tended focused on education is- sues. At present, five out of six of the school officials are white and the majority of teachers are non- Native American. Because teach- ers are not required to take cul- ture classes, not enough Native American culture is being taught within the school system. This along with many other forces has

compelled the Native American people into assimilation.

Although the culture of the Native American people differs, junior Sheri Spellman disposed of the stereotypes that are associ- ated with Native American Res- ervations. “It was just like any other small town. There was no war paint -- the teenagers there are into pop music, hairspray, and make-up,” just like their non- Native American counterparts, Spellman said. All of the volun- teers found that everyone on the reservation was very perceptive and open to them. Sophomore Matt Shurtleff plans to go back this summer to work with the Sioux again.

In addition, LCS wants to work with the Sioux YMCA, which hosted this year’s trip and will offer the program again. Spon- sors of the trip included LCS, Sigma Pi Epsilon, the American Studies and Peace and Justice programs, the Tufts Lesbian Gay Bisexual Community, The Women’s Collective, the Tufts Chaplain, Scotty McLennan, the Anthropology Department, The Crafts House,The Void, and Dean of Students, Bobbie Knable.

ARTS For once, truth in advertising: ‘Crazy People’ is nuts

by JASON GEORGE

Imagine an ad that tells the real truth about a product. Imag- ine “Volvos: they’re boxy, but they’re safe.” That concept is exactly what advertising execu- tive Emory Leeson suggests as

Daily Editorial Board

Film & Review

the new approach for his clients in the movie Crazy People.

When his boss sees his new ideas -- “Jaguar sports cars, for men who want handjobs from women they hardly know” -- he has Emory committed to a sani- tarium. After all, the game is advertising; it has nothing to do with the truth.

Thanks to acorporate foul-up, Emory’s ideas are the ones which become the real ads. The result is phenomenal. All of the ads are hits, and sales for those products skyrocket. The truth approach works.

By this time, Emory is well- situated in Bennington Sanitar- ium. He has met Kathy Burgess, one of the patients there, and she has developed a strong affection for him. Her problem, though, is her fear -- of everything.

Emory, though he considered them all “nuts” at first, has made friends with the other patients, eight in all. He discovers that even though they are “crazy people,” each of them has his or her own merits. So, when his co- worker from the advertising firm arrives to release him, Emory refuses to leave.

Eventually, a compromise is reached in which the other pa- tients assist Emory in developing truthful ad campaigns (remem- ber, these are people who have been committed to a mental insti- tution). The plot follows their attempts to deal with the cruel business world, with the subplot

being the relationship between Kathy and Emory.

The movie itself is funny much of the time. There are a few long smtches with few laughs, but also some hilarious scenes that have the audience rolling in the aisles. The best humor comes from the new ads that Emory, and later his fellow patients, invent. Consider the approach to a new Paramount Pictures release, The Freak: “Other movies scare you. This one will f- -k you up for life.”

Of course, much of the movie is pretty stupid (that seems to be a general trend in comedies these days). The ending, for example, stretches credulity into the Twi- lightzone. However, the fact that the plot is unbelievable does not make the film any less amusing.

Dudley Moore plays Emory, bringing his famousoddball char- acterizations to the screen once again. In Arthur he was drunk; here he’s stressed out In one scene, while stopped in traffic, he rips out another driver’s car phone and throws it in the river. Moore is not at his best here, but his comedic touch is successful enough to make the movie work.

As Kathy, Daryl Hannah gives her best performance since Roxanne. However, we don’t get to see that much of her. She is billed as the co-star, but her char- acter really fits a supporting role. Her fears and phobias never get more than superficial treatment, even though they would provide fertile ground for additional comedy. She is the one person in the film who gets to show an emotional side, however, because of Kathy’s feelings about her long- separated brother. Hannah per- forms in a way which is just melodramatic enough to be funny.

While the lead performers are good, it is the eight actors who play the sanitarium patients who

Portrayed by David Paymer (No Way Out, Cagney and Lacey), George uses a limited vocabulary -- the word “hello.” It is, as Kathy put it, “the only word he has any affection for.” George uses it in many interesting ways, though. He has boxes full of hellos, framed hellos, and of course those plastic “hello” cards people get at con- ferences.

As the movie progresses and the patients earn more respect, George begins to speak in cam- plete sentences, but always man- ages to insert a few “hellos” into his conversation. He demonstrates the kind of silly humor that makes the picture funny.

The other supporting charac- ters also add much to the film’s humor. There is Judge, a former jurist whose sole interest now is

in seeing the ballet. There’s Mort, who wishes to write sitcoms and always enjoys demonstrating his work. Saabs can tell you anything you ever wanted to know about any make of Saab automobile, and usually does. Hsu’s role isn’t very well defined, but he has a particularly interesting view of reality. Bruce andEddie arenever fully described, either, but they enjoy creating truthful ads for Emory. And then there’s Manuel, an African-American who insists he’s Latino (and he’s not some- body you’d argue with). . Together, these characters are the core of the movie. Without them, the whole affair would have been pointless. The film would have benefited by devoting more attention to them as individuals, describing why they were institu-

tionalized and what their previ- ous lives were like. However, since it was primarily a vehicle for Moore, that wasn’t destined to happen here.

Also worth mentioning are two of the film’s other supporting actors, Paul Reiser (Beverly Hills Cop, My Two Duds) and. Mer- cedes Ruehl (Big, Married to the Mob). The former plays Emory’s Co-wOTker, Stephen Bachman, who serves as straight man for Moore’s jokes. The latter is Dr. Elizabeth Baylor, the psychiatrist who turns out to be the big hero of the film.

All in all, Crazy People is a good comedy, worth seeing if you’re in the mood for laughter. The one-liners and the support- ing characters are top-notch, providing for a very entertaining picture.

Emory Leeson (Dudley Moore) is welcomed by the other patients of the Bennington Sanitarium.

ARTS ‘The Lost Boys’ bridges the worlds of adults and children

by JOELLE BIELE Senior Staff Writer

Playing currently at the Hasty Pudding Theatre is Allan Knee’s new play,TheLostBoys,asapart of the American Repertory The- atre’s New Stages program. The Lost Boys depicts the poignant

Theater Review

story of playwright James Mat- thew Barrie’s relationship with the Davies brothers, who were the inspiration for his classic piece, Peter Pan. With a pervading ghost- like quality, TheLost Boys seam- lessly moves between the real and the imagined world under Jerome Kilty’s direction.

As the play opens, Mr. Barrie rests in his easy chair on the cor- ner of the stage with his dog

. Porthos at his feet. Mr. Barrie, played by Jeremy Geidt, goes in and out of memory and dream. He tells his dreams to Porthos while patting him on his head. Porthos (Ken Jones) plays the “straight dog,” wagging his tail, whimpering and putting his head under his paws while Mr. Barrie speaks.

Knee skews time in his play. Although The Lost Boys is weighted on both ends by the prologue and epilogue, Knee plays with what happens within that frame. Memories occur within memories, and the play moves effortlessly around them. He twists

the audience’s orientation in time with the delivery of the epilogue, when Peter (Robert Stanton) tells the audience that Mr. Barrie is dead and that he himself is dead as well. To top off the ghost-like atmosphere, an earlier scene from the boys’ childhood is repeated.

The acting in the play is supe- rior. Geidt really sparkles on stage as the wizened playwright who befriends the boys and their mother, Sylvia (Cherry Jones). Mr. Barrie is more like Peter Pan than Peter himself.

Peter wants to leave his child- hood and the constraining love that Mr. Banie gives him. Stan- ton, who appeared with Geidt in the ART’S production of George Bernard Shaw’s Major Barbara last month, makes the jump from the playful, creative boy who Peter was once to the troubled young man he is now.

Knee’s script spends an equal amount of time on all four of the brothers and their relationship with Mr. Barrie. However, they do not have equal relationships with him. George, Jack, and Michael were played by Steven Skybell, Ste- ven Zahn, and Ross Salinger re- spectively. They were wonderful to watch on stage and very funny. Since Knee allots equally-sized scenes for each of the brothers, Mr. Barrie’s and Peter’srelation- ship is never fully explored.

Regardless of Knee’s choices of character development, the cast has a warm ensemble feel that draws the audience into the play,

Review C I

F? Worrell character, directed by John Cherry, the advertising exec to whom weowe America’s latest icon.

In this film, Ernest (played by Jim Varney) is a bumbling janitor in a tiny Southern bank. One evening in particular, Ernest is cleaning the bank when his wax- ing machine goes out of control. Through some mishap, he is electrocuted, but instead of dying, he becomes magnetized and en- dowed with unearthly-type pow- ers. As the office utensils fly through the air and Ernest tries to avoid them, it makes for the knee- slapping hilarity you wish could last for hours (life should be so good).

Also in the bank are his two best friends and nocturnal co- workers, Chuck (Gailard Sartain) and Bobby (Bill Byrge), the “security” for the bank. Chuck is an inept but lovable fool who likes to install state-of-the-art protection devices in the bank, much to the dismay of the bank president, Oscar Pendlesmythe (Dan Leegant). Bobby has to be the ugliest character in motion pictures since Jabba theHutt. The only way to communicate with him is to use complex ann move- ments.

After his mishap with the floor

waxer, Ernest knocks himself unconscious in the bank vault, where he is found by the lovely bank manager, Charlotte Spar- row (BarbaraBush). Over dinner, she convinces Ernest that he should apply for a position as bank clerk. Ernest gives new meaning to the phrase “magnetic personality” as he fends off flatware at an expen- sive restaurant. Imagine the roar- ing ruckus the audience experi- enced.

The next day, Ernest learns that he’s been selected to serve 21s

jurof‘on a murder trial, but in- stead of trying to get out of it, he gladiy accepts hiscivic duty with a feeor that hasn’t been seen since Rambo. The defendant at the trial notices that Ernest is a dead ringer for his crime boss, Felix Nash, and devises a com- plex scheme to switch the look- alikes. Somehow, the defense attorney convinces the judge that the jurors should be taken to the prison to view the Scene of the see JAIL, page 11

Do you think Walden Puddle i s still there?

With Earth Day just over a week away, there’s a “veritakjle plethora” of benefit shows springing up all over the place. The Concert for Walden Woods at the Centrum sold out its first show on

April 24; they’ve added a second date the 25. Appearing are DQV Hedey, Glenn FEY, and Bob Segei with hosts Ed Begley, Jr., C q e Fisher, Don Johnson, and Meryl

Streep. You are forewarned: Don has sung before, anything can happen.

Arlo Guthrie, Phoebe Snow, Tom Rush, Livingston Taylor, Treal Her Right, “and others” will be performing at the Music for the Earth show the 22, which is at the MDC Hatch Memorial Shell in Boston. The Wang Center gets into the act on the 20 with Kitaro which will be presenting Kojiko: A Story in Concert. Taking a tip from the Greenhouse effect, the Hothouse Flowers are coming OUI with their first single from their second LP, “Give It Up,” on the 23. just in time for the festivities. The album, Home, is not due to come out until early June. Producer Paul Barrett lends his hand to a track or two, as he did on The Edge’s soundtrack for @e stage version of Stanley Kubrick’s classic film A Clockwork Orange.

Another boffo soundtrack is Pretty Woman, which includes songs by Robert Palmer, David Bowie, Roxette, Natlie Cole, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane Wiedlen, and Ric Otcasek. The latter does a version of Iggy Pop’s “Real Wild Child.”

The Chilies are all over the place ... They’ve just added an additional date at the Orpheum, May 2. Also added to the bill (which already includes the Dead Milkmen) is Too Free Stooges.

The Violent Femmes are opening for the Chilies at other dates; they are working on material for a new album, and should go into the studio this winter.

I bet you’ve head the new Suzanne Vega song, “Book of Dreams.” If you’ve listened closely, you’ve discovered that it is the source of the title of the album, Days of Open Hand. It comes out this week, on the 16. It was written in London and recorded in New York City, and Vega co-produced it with boyfriend and keyboardist Anton Sanko. Aww.

Remember that Requiem for the Americas album that was being put together by Jonathan Elias? Production has been hitting a variety of snags due to various artists’ bickering. Bono is no longer involved because U2 “isn’t comfortable” with the project. CBS records pulled Suzanna Hoffs from a duet with Simon leBon, claiming that it conflicts with her solo career.

The wrong way to pick your favorite teams

Penguins. They’re short, flightless waterfowl which are the ubject of many stupid jokes involving tuxedos and waiters. This ;hould have told me something. This should have served as a

warning. When I first got into hockcy

many years ago, my then-bcst friend was a fan of every Pills- burgh team; the Pens were his

’avorite team in the NHL. I’ve always liked those cute little waddlers so I took to them right away.

I’m sorry! I was young, I was naive and impressionable -- I :ouldn’t help it. I didn’t know anything in my reckless youth. ?enguins are so cute; how was I to know that they couldn’t play iockey even if their crummy lives depended upon it. I had chosen 3 group of bumblers as my favorite team, a bunch of grown men Zalling themselves Penguins who missed the playoffs year aftel year. Unfortunately, they still are, and will probably always be, my Favorite hockey team.

This wasn’t the first time I had made such a bad choice, and il wasn’t the last, I never chose a local team as my favorite, and three out of my four choices are struggling. I’m from New Jersey and the ;losest of my favorite teams in any of the big four sports (baseball football, basketball, and hockey) is from Boston, about a five-horn drive from my house. I despise most New York-New Jersey tcam! (please, no letters), and was actually jealous that my co-editor Geofl Edgers had thought of an “I hate New York” column first.

Yeah, I know that I’m babbling. I know that my thoughts arc really random, but Ichose my favorite tearnsrandomly, too. So dca with it.

Now, as I was about to say before I so rudely interrupted myself sure, my dad took me to see sporting events when I was a kid, bu he wasn’t into them himself. He never influenced me in my choice: of who to root for. He never told me all about the New Jersey an( New York teams so I had to learn all about sports by myself.

I still remember the first specific thing I learned about baseball I was still sharing my bedroom with my brother, six years older thar myself, and he put up a picture of Jim Rice.

Dave Saltzman Salted Peanuts

“Who’s that?” I asked. “Jim Rice.” “What team does he play for?” “The Boston Red Sox.?’ “Is he good?’ “Yeah.” My brother was never very articulate, but he had told me all

needed to know about baseball at that point. I liked Jim Rice and liked the Red Sox. Then I learned about the Yankees (and hy thc way, I do love George Steinbrenner), the hated rivals. Even bcfon I started following baseball, I liked the Sox first and foremost. An( had my heart broken many times because of it. You think it wa: tough to see them lose to the Mets in 1986? Try having experience( it among a swarm of Mets fans in Jersey.

Picking the Sox was actually one of my better choices. I pickec the Miami Dolphins the same way I chose the Penguins. I like( dolphins, so I liked the Miami football team. Having a glorioui history was optional, but appreciated nonetheless. Now the Dol phins are floundering. At one point last season, I wanted them tc lose so they would get a better draft choice. These are despc,ratc times, my friends.

The only team I’ve chosen which has come through year afte year is the Los Angeles Lakers. I admit it, I jumped on thc bandwagon, but I did it unintentionally. During the 1981 -82 season right after Magic’s rookie year and the Lakers’ first championshi] in a long time, I bought a book from Scholastic Book Order, (remember them? Didn’t think so) about Kareem, Magic, anc company. I got hooked on those guys in the purple and gold.

That was the problem, if you want to call it a problem, that I hac with all my favorites. They were all the first teams I learned abou in their respective sports, and I’ve followed them ever since. Whei I was young and heard someone say on the TV or radio “Red Sox,’ I thought, Hey, I h o w them! They were my fvst friends; you cai never turn your back people like that, no matter how much you wan to. I’m a Red Sox fan, and sometimes I really hate that. I’m : Penguins fan, and sometimes I hate that. But I can’t change m: spots anymore than a leopard can change his mind. Or somethin] like that.

So now you know how not to choose your favorite teams. Don’ pick them just because you heard of them first. Don’t pick then because you like their names. If you need some stupid method tc pick them, consider their colors. My sister doesn’t even follov sports, but her favorite football team is doing better than mine. S hl likes the Minnesota Vikings. “They have pretty colors,” she says Indeed they do. Maybe that’s why the Lakers keep winning.

Jumbos’ hopes for perfect season dashed While the season debut of the men’s tennis team continued to bc

postponed, the players were anticipating an undefeated season and qeating as New hgiand champions. Unfommtely, the team members’ hopes were shattered against the Lord Jeffs of Amherst. Losing thrw of the top four singles’ positions in three sets, with only number two singles Brian Hertzer winning convincingly (7-6, 6-2), the team’s chances of coming back and prevailing appeared doubtful. Although Jeff Gewirtz, number six singles, outdueled his opponent by winning 7-5 in the third set, the doubles matches were useful only in tallying up the final results: Amherst 6, Tufts 3.

From the overall results, it’s obvious that the Jumbos weren’t hurt by the extra day off. With six first place finishes and many other more in the top five, Tufts proved that they can hold their own against the best.

The Jumbos were proficient, failing to place only in three events: the triple jump, the high jump, andthe5000-meterrun.The most stunning show of Tufts dominance came in the llOm hurdles, when freshman Mike Jerstad, sopho- more Evan Hill, sophomore Wil- lie Evans, freshman Eric Hoyt, junior Evan Drake, and freshman Andrew Sever combined to lock out all the other teams, taking the top six slots. Since this is the first Jumbo Invitational, Jerstad will be the proud holder of the tourna- ment record for at least a year, as will all of the other first place finishers.

In the lOOm sprint, freshman Greg Hutton, a standout during the team’s winter track season, came through with a 11.67s sec- ond place finish. Hutton dupli- cated this placing in the 2GOm race, but this time he was backed up by sophomore Wilner Bor- gella and freshman Jaleel Shujath, who came in third and fourth. In the 400m, Shujath also finished fourth, with a time of 52.36s. Jerstad, Hill, Evans, and sopho- more Doug Lang secured the third

Bourque to DANVERS, Mass. (AP) --

Boston Bruins’ star Ray Bour- que, sidelined when the Hartford Whalers took a 2-1 series lead, expects to miss Wednesday night’s playoff contest but hopes to be back for Game 5.

Bourque, a strong candidate for the NHL awards for most valuable player and top defense- man, missed Monday n’ght’s 5-3

About playing Wednesday night in Hartford, he said Tues- day, “I’m real doubtful,’’ although he did feel better. “Realistically, I’m shooting for Friday,” when the best-of-seven Adams Divi- sion semifinal returns to Boston.

“It’s bad timing,” he added. “We had a great year, and I think thattheminuteIfeelgoodenough to play, I’m going to play, and that doesn’t mean I have to be 100 percent.” Led by Bourque, ’the Bruins

The steeplechase event was handled well by the Jumbos across the board. Senior John Regan’s second place finish was followed by freshman Steven Romero and junior Frank Antip- pas.

In the men’s 1500m, junior Eric Gyuriscko finished less than six seconds under the Tufts out- door facility record. unfortunately, this meant a fourth place finish. Freshman Marty Keane rounded out the top ten finishing in the

tenth position. The 5000m turned into a bit of a problem for the Jumbos. Without the services of top runner Steven Driker, who was away for the meet, the Jum- bos were shut out of the scoring. ’Compounding the problem in this event is the fact that freshman All-American Steve Swift decided not torun this spring, taking away a guaranteed number of points from the Jumbos. Fortunately for the Jumbos, junior Joel Rich won the 10,000m race with a time of 32:47.56.

Although his absence hurts, “I have confidence we’re going to win,” he said at a news confer- ence on the front lawn of his home. “We’ve done it all year, no matter who’s been out.

“I missed four games and we were 2-1-1. We’re not a one-man team or a two-man team,” said Bourque, two-time winner of the Norris Trophy as the league’s top defenseman. “We’ve won all year because we’ve had good play out of everybody.”

The Bruins losttheseriesopener 4-3 at home last Thursday night. They tied it Saturday night as Bourque had a goal and an assist and was on the ice for all three Boston goals.

But in the final minute of that game, he was hurt when Whalers defenseman Grant Jennings

checkcd him into the boar& behind and to the left of Boston’s net as Bourque was retrieving the puck.

“We’re up by two goals [and] I put myself in a play where I knew I was going to get hit,” Bourque said, although he might have been able to avoid taking the full force of the blow. “I knew I was going to get hit, but that’s the way I play.”

Hc was sore Sunday morning and didn’t skate that day. His condition worsened as the day went on. He saw Dr. Bertram Zarins, the Bruins’ team physi- cian, on Monday, and club thera- pist Don Worden on Tuesday. Therc was bleeding in his hip area, he said.

“There’s got to be less there” Tuesday, Bourque said, “because I’m fceling better. That’s a good sign.”

Alhough, he said, “I’m a pa- tient guy by nature, this is frus- trating. I’m doing whatever I can to get back.”

Barnes said some students have called him sexist, a tern he wishes to disassociate from his name. “No, I am not sexist, but, unfortu- nately, I have heard that phrase thrown out often,” he said.

Barnes said that present soci- ety has made everyone somewhat racist or sexist, but he hopes that people would point out to him his faults so that he can work to improve himself.

“I’m not aperfect individual, I don’t think anyone is. I think that everyone has theability tochange in regard to all matters in terms of being sexist, racist, or homopho- bic,” he said. “I think everyone

‘‘I have my own views and I’ve always expressed my own views to others and I stand by them, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t learn from other-people. That doesn’t mean that I’m either so self-righteous or stubborn that I can’t listen to other people’s opinions,” he said.

Two issues that Tenenbaum strongly supports are the contin- ued maintenance of the Greek system at Tufts and funding for a full-time coordinator for the gay, lesbian, and bisexual community.

Barnes believes he has sup- port throughout the Tufts com- munity, and not just one particu- lar group.

“Most of my support will come from the general student body, no particular constituency but a lot of different constituencies because a lot of people see the necessity for strong, effective leadership.

‘‘I am the candidate of the students looking for a strong, effective leader: someone who can work with people, someone who is open, who’ll always be there for the students and let the students come by and express their concerns. That’s the candidate that I represent,” he added.

Barnes is the only child of a father “in the business world” and a mother who teaches sci- ence at a high school near their home in Westchester County, New York. “My mom’s an educator and she realizes the importance of my getting a good education. They’ve always been there to support me, to guide me, to moti- vate me when it comes to school and life in general.”

Barnes said that time spent at college, away from home, has given him the chance to mature on his own.

“Being an only child, one might think that I might want to stay closer to home, but, in fact, I’m

transition from home life to col- lege easily because his experi- ences at Tufts have been very enjoyable. “It’s a great school academically, intellectually, and socially. It has an excellent aca- ’demic reputarion. It’s a great school and I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly.” .

Barnes is a sports enthusiast - - he enjoys both playing and watching sports. He said he also likes going to movies, museums, and the aquarium -- experiencing all the culture that Boston has to offer.

Tenenbaum, a member of the fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi, said that he has learned a lot through participating in the Greek sys- tem.

“The Greek system has given me some of the best friends I’ve had. What it’s done for me is taught me more about myself. It taught me how to relate with others in a different way,” he said.

Tenenbaum added that trust is one of the most important things that he learned from being in a fraternity, and he feels that trust is an important quality for the TCU Dresident to have.

Tenenbaum also said that he is against a new speech policy. While he recognizes the value of a comfortable atmosphere for all students, but adds, “to force that ideal by chaining someone’s mouth closed or by putting so much fear into someone so that they can’t speak their mind, then that’s wrong. You don’t educate by silence, you educate through listening,” he said.

Tenenbaum said that he fol- lows Jewish issues and that the Jewish culture, though not neces- sarily the religion, has played a major role in his life. He said that although Jews are not a minority at Tufts, he has felt the stigma of being a Jew in his home town in Delaware. He said that he had been involved in fights because

This semester Tenenbaum is the teaching assistant in the inter- national relations course, ‘‘People, power, and politics.” He said that being a TA as a junior is a great responsibility.

“It’s kind of an oddity because an undergraduate TA is a bit of an anomaly. TA’s are given a lot of responsibility. They’re paid, and usually only graduate students get to do it.”

Tenenbaum said he would like to be a politician after going to law school.

Tenenbaum’s father is an at- torney and his mother teaches hearing impaired children. He has one sister who he pressured to come to Tufts because he thinks Tufts is an excellent university.

1 New Hampshire Governor Gregg vetoes liberal abortion rights bill News Briefs I

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- Governor Judd Gregg vetoed an abortion rights bill Tuesday within hours of it reaching his desk, saying it would have been the most lib- eral abortion law in the nation.

The bill would have allowed unrestricted abortions until the fetus could live outside the womb and after that to protect the life or health of a woman or if the fetus has a life-threatening physical or congenital abnormality.

Gregg had promised to veto the measure.

“This bill authorizes abortion for convenience, sex selection, as a form of birth control and with or without parental notification or consent in the case of a minor,” the Republican governor said in his veto message to the Legisla-

obligation to protect life, which he said begins at conception.

“Believing this, I obviously will not support legislation which represents a dramatic expansion of the availability of abortion as a means of terminating life in New Hampshire,” he said.

The veto came less than two weeks after Idaho Governor Cecil Andrus vetoed legislation that would have created the nation’s most restrictive state anti-abor- tion law.

Gregg took issue with support- ers who claimed the bill repre- sented the principles embodied in the 1973 US Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.

‘\‘This bill allows abortion throughout the term of pregnancy, including arguably as late as the

calling that “a term so vague as to be worthless as a limiting func- tion.”

The US Supreme ourt ruling that legalizedaborti ns now rules the issue in the stq p‘; e since New Hampshire has no’ laws regulat- ing how and when abortions can be performed.

Abortion rights advocates had argued that the bill essentially legalized current practice. They said 9 1 percent of all abortions in the country h e done in the first 12 weeks and that only 0.01 per- cent are done after 24 weeks.

Originally, the bill allowed unrestricted abortions through the 24th week, but the Senate changed that to a fetal viability standard, to be determined by a woman’s doctor.

From the Associated Press II Sandinistas warn of new fighting MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) The ruling Sandinistas said Tuesday new fighting could break out because an agreement between the newly elected government and Contra rebels failed to set a deadline for the rebels to disarm.

The Sandinista party newspaper Barricada and the pro-Sandinista daily El Nuevo Diario ran editorials and stories dismissing the accord as a rebel ploy to gain time and influence before the April 25 change of government. The accord was reached Monday.

In an editorial titled “The First Test of the New Government,” Barricada said “there is nothing to discuss with the Contras,” save their demobilization by April 25. That is when Mrs. Chamorro takes office for a six-year term.

“The intransigent attitude assumed by some Contra ringleaders and extremist (UNO) politicians ... is placing the nation in a very dangerous situation,” the editorial said.

“Unless this situation is resolved in the briefest term ... all the efforts for peace and reconciliation could ... revert into a fresh outbreak of the war,” the editorial added.

A contingent of 170 Venezuelan troops arrived Tuesday in Hondu- ras to strengthen a United Nations force of observers, who are to supervise the disbandment in Honduras and Nicaragua.

Peres announces cabinet picks JERUSALEM (AP) Labor Party leader Shimon Peres said Tuesday he wants to serve as both prime minister and foreign minister in a proposed coalition government, but his announcement was clouded by reports that two key supporters may defect.

The media reports, if true, jeopardize the Labor-led coalition’s anticipated 61-59 majority in Wednesday’s Parliament vote on the government.

Peres tried to quell the talk of defections in an impassioned speech to Labor’s 1900-member Central Committee, which approved his party nominees for 11 Cabinet posts in the new government.

“We have the support of 61 legislators in Parliament, maybe more,” Peres told members of his left-of-center party.

Peres said all 11 Labor ministers who served in the collapsed coalition with the right-wing Likud bloc would join the new Cabinet. He added that at least four more Labor members would join at a later stage. The announcement was met by boos from party activists who had demanded fresh faces in the new government.

Peres, who was finance minister in the outgoing government said he would serve as foreign minister in addition to prime minister. Labor’s No. 2 leader, Yitzhak Rabin, would be defense minister.

Israel radio Tuesday reported growing speculation that two legis- lators from the ultra-Orthodox Agudat Israel party would renege on their party’s coalition agreement with Labor and either abstain or vote against Labor on Wednesday.

Gorbachev: No presidential rule in Lithuania MOSCOW (AP) One day after issuing a harsh new warning to Lithuanian separatists, Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev backed off the tough line Tuesday by declaring he does not yet see a need to impose presidential rule.

Lithuanian President Vytautas Landsbergis, responding to the severe tone of Monday’s declaration by the Kremlin, sent a telegram to Gorbachev saying he feared that “ultra-rightist imperial forces are compelling you to take a wrong step: to continue the wrongs of the 1940s in the Baltics.”

Speaking Tuesday at a Young Communist League congress in Moscow, Gorbachev said presidential rule would be used only as an extreme measureduring acivil conflict, the Tass news agency said. He said Soviet leaders are still trying to persuade Lithuanians to rescind their declaration of independence.

Presidential rule could include martial law and dissolving Lithu- ania’s parliament. It was elected in March and is Lithuania’s first freely elected parliament in 50 years.

Lech Walesa said to confrim bid for Polish presidency WARSAW, Poland (AP) --

Solidarity -leader Lech Walesa was quoted Tuesday as saying he will run for president in the next elec- tion.

The report by the government news agency PAP could not immediately be confirmed with Walesa or his spokesman. Aides and colleagues of the Solidarity leader have long been saying he is considering a presidential bid.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, a close associate of Walesa’s and editor of the Solidarity Weekly newspa- per, said the leader’s comments to PAP should only be “under- stood as a general declaration, not connected with present events.”

as saying when asked if he would run forpresident. “We have many wise and valuable people in gov- ernment, holding various posts. However, one must speed up the pace of reforms and destroy the old arrangements.”

‘7 confirm,” PAP quoted walesa

President Wojciech Jaruzelski, the general and former Commu- nist Party leader elected by Par- liament in July, officially is to serve a six-year term until 1995.

However, there is widespread belief that the next presidential election will be moved up as part of an overhaul of the Polish Constitution.

The most likely time for elec- tions appears to be spring 1991, when Poland would be marking the 200th anniversary of its first written constitution.

Nothing in his remarks on PAP indicated when Walesa thought the election might be, and Kaczynski suggested the leader was not talking about an immedi- ate presidential campaign.

“Nobody is talking about the date for elections or about start- ing any procedures,” he said. “He just states the certain fact” that he will run when Jaruzelski leaves offices.

“This should be understood as a general declaration, not con- nected with current events,” Kaczynski added.

Kaczynski said Walesa is committed to winning re-election as Solidarity’s chairman next week, when the union holds its first national congress in nine years.

“I will run in the election and you know that when I run I want to win,” Walesa told the Solidar- ity Executive Commission on Tuesday in Gdansk. “And I count on your support.”

Walesa is expected to be chal- lenged by union members who feel Solidarity has strayed from its ideals of 1980, putting politics ahead of trade-union goals like defending workers’ interests. A long-time Walesa critic, Marian Jurczyk of Szczecin, has formed a rival faction called Solidarity ‘80.

Jaruzelski was elected presi- dent at a time when Poland w a

the only East bloc country to have a legal opposition and to be making such bold moves toward democ- racy.

Jaruzelski was to serve as a guarantee to the Soviet Union and Poland’s Warsaw Pact allies that Poland would do nothing to upset the East bloc alliance.

However, that purpose has changed with the fall of commu- nists from power in all six War- saw Pact countries except the Soviet Union. More radical re-

formers in Poland feel it is time to oust Jaruzelski in order to speed up changes in the country.

Jaruzelski also has his advo- cates in the Solidarity-led gov- ernment and Parliament. They feel that as president, he has behaved with restraint and shown good coopemtion with Solidarity Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki.

Elections now would be a divisive distraction from coping with the country’s pressing eco- nomic problems, they say.

Mongolian communists, looking to hold power, call for reforms ULAN BATOR, Mongolia (AP) - - The Communist Party opened a hastily called congress Tuesday with a call for reform to maintain its 70-year-old grip on power in the face of a growing pro-democ- racy movement.

“It means a radical transfor- mation of party structure, of its internal relations, its principles of activity and methods of work,” General Secretary Gombojavyn Ochirbat told the 926 delegates.

“Sluggish reaction to the new situation will amount to suicide,” he said in an hour-long televised speech.

The congress is expected to last three days, during which delegates are charged with meet- ing the challenge from new oppo- sition groups who have organized massive protests.

Theorganizations wefe inspired by the collapse of Communist parties in Eastern Europe and reform in the Soviet Union. Mongolia, which lies between China and the Soviet Union, has long been a satellite of Moscow.

The Mongolian Parliament on March 23 abolished the Commu- nist Party’s monopoly on power and approved of elections with more than one candidate. Elec- tions are tentatively scheduled for

July. The move followed the Soviet

Communist Party’s move to give up its monopoly on power.

Ochirbat told the congress the time has come to end dictatorial party control over trade unions, religion, art, science and mass organizations.

But he said the police force and army should remain in party hands.

Opposition groups have de- manded the army serve the gov- ernment, not the ruling party.

Ochirbat also said the party does not want to adopt capital- ism, even though it favors intro- ducing market-style economic reform.

“The renovated (party) will ... uphold Marxist-Leninist ideas end apply Marxist-Leninist method- ology,” he said.

He also reaffirmed the impor- tance of Mongolia’s ties to the Soviet Union, which some oppo- sition groups say has ruled their country like a colony since Mon- golia won independence from China in 1921.

The party, formally called the Mongolian People’s Revolution- ary Party, responded last month to opposition demonstrations by

Gregg said that meant abor- tions could be performed as late as the seventh month “depending on the doctor’s view.”

“In fact, the bill’s language is of such vagueness as to make it .totally unclear when a child‘s life is protected,” he said.

Gregg said he could support legislation which would limit abortions to cases involving rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother.

House leadership has not set a date for representatives to con- sider overriding the veto. Two earlier votes on versions of the bill fell about 25 votes shy of the two-thirds margin that would be needed for override. Bill support- ers also would need to find two more votes in the Senate.

“This is a sad day for freedom in New Hampshire,” said Robert

New England. He said that with the veto, Gregg turned his back on “the solid pro-choice majority of New Hampshire citizens.”

On another matter, Gregg signed into law a bill that gives surrogate mothers up to 72 hours after the birth to decide whether to keep the child.

Effective next Jan. 1, the bill establishes guidelines for surro- gate motherhood agreements.

Among other things, it requires that a surrogate mother be reim- bursed only for her medical ex- penses and actual wages lost due to the pregnancy. It also says the surrogate mother must have had at least one successful pregnancy before entering into the agree- ment. It alsospellsout under what circumstances the contracted parents are legally liable to sup- port the child.

Thecurrent congress will elect a new Central Committee, which may again change the Politburo and general secretary. However, several congress delegates ex- pressed support Tuesday for keep- ing the 61-year-old Ochirbat. He has been well-received by the public because he was out of favor under Mongolia’s former dicta- tor, Yumjaagiyn Tsedenbal.

Some delegates also suggested that most of the current 146 Cen- tral Committee members be re- placed by younger, better-edu- cated people.

The party, which receives about $6.6 million from the gov- ernment each year, has pledged to become self-financing. But its assels still far exceed those of the opposition parties, most of which lack even offices and telephones.

The government effectively banned opposition protests dur- ing the congress. It decreed over the weekend that applications for any demonstrations must be sub- mitted a week in advance, and that demonstrations that might disrupt public life will not be permitted.

Alaskans say Soviets leaving polluted mess. at bases ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP)

-- The Soviet military is leaving behindpollutedland, streamsand underground water supplies as it abandons long-occupied bases in Czechoslovakia, an Alaska envi- ronmental servicescompany said Tuesday.

“It’s just a mess,” said former Alaska Gov. Bill Sheffield, a di- rector of Martech USA, an An- chorage-based company that has

. negotiated a tentative agreement with the Czech government to help it clean up bases and other sites.

The Soviets “just kind of cov-

ered up their backs. In some places they just left it all exposed and running into the river,” Sheffield said.

Underground fuel tanks have been ripped up and the craters covered over with dirt and gravel, he said.

Martech also said pipelines or storage tanks are leaching un- identified substances onto the ground or into streams.

Sheffield and other company officials last week toured several areas including the Frenstat mili- tary base with Prime Minister Peter Pithart and other Czech officials.

The officials were shown one off-limits site at Frenstat where they were told a Soviet germ warfare stockpile was still being stored, Sheffield said.

Martech and the Czech gov- ernment signed a letter of intent Friday to form a joint venture to clean up the sites, Martech Presi- dent Bill Tisdale said in a tele- phone interview from New York.

Company officials visited “highly polluted” sites at Fren- stat where Soviet forces appar- ently had been dumping materi- als onto the ground for decades, Tisdale said. Observers found fuel

and other unidentified pollutants in rivers and drinking water sup- plies, he said.

Frenstat was the first base to be evacuated by Soviet soldiers, Tisdalesaid. Soldiers began leav- ing the base in northern Czecho- slovakia on Feb. 26.

Martech plans on April 25 to begin analyzing substances to be cleaned up.

Tisdale would not say how much money the work involved.

Two other bases, at Bruntal and Kmov, already have been turned over to the Czechs and both will require “extensive”

cleanup work, the company said. Martech said it will act as

managing partner in a joint ven- ture with Geo Test, a state-run hydrology and engineering ;om- PanY.

Martech will open an office in Prague and will provide profes- sional expertise and equipment. Geo Test will provide some skilled and all unskilled, workers, Tis- dale said.

No details have been worked out on how the Alaskan company will be paid for its work, Shef- field said.

URI students meet with governor to discuss budget cuts PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) --

G O ~ . Edward D. DiPretemet with students in an effort to curb pro- tests over his planned budget cuts at the University of Rhode Island when he goes there today for an education conference, but the students accused him of trying to steal their thunder.

“The governor is turning it around,” said student Rory ONeill, who works at WRIU on campus.

He and about five other students were driven to the Statehouse Tuesday by a DiPrete aide after- noon to discuss the planned cuts and Wednesday’s demonstration.

gansett, is a leading opponent of DiPrete’s $4.9 million proposed cut at URI -- said the governor originally tried to talk the stu-

dents out of staging the protest. Amy Lehrman, the school’s

Senate president, said after meet- ing with DiPrete for 1 ( hours Tuesday that nothing was resolved.

“He said, ‘We did the best we could, now it’s up to the General Assembly”’ to find more money for URI, Lehrman said. “I don’t feel I got all of my questions answered.”

She said students would proba- bly have to turn to General As- sembly Democrats, including Sen. O’Neill and Senate Majority Leader David R. Carlin, D-New- port, for help.

“The General Assembly is

is Republican,” Lehrman said. “HOW could it not be political?’

The two senators last week held a meeting at URI with about 200 students to discuss DiPrete’s proposal to cut the $4.9 million, where they “recommended that we show our force in numbers,” the younger O’Neill said.

The cut would leave URI with $13 million in the fiscal budget that begins July 1. School Presi- dent Edward D. Eddy has pro- posed raising tuition by 9 percent next fall to make up the differ- ence, instead of a planned 6 per- cent hike.

May Kernan, DiPrete’s press

ing, characterized it differently. “It was a very productive and

candid meeting with student lead- ers from the university,” Kernan said.

Students estimate anywhere between 2,000 to 4,000 demon- strators will greet the governor, who is attending a state education summit he scheduled last month to discuss the next phase of edu- cational changes in the state.

Lehrman said the protest would begin at 9 a.m. on URI’s King- ston campus. DiPrete was sched- uled to address the demonstrators at 11 a.m. after leaving the con- ,

TORONTO (AP) -- President Bush and his wife, Barbara, are helping to promote an upcoming TV cartoon that will feature an anti-drug message for children.

The animated show will be si- multaneously aired April 21 by ABC, NBC and CBS -- a first in programming. It also will be shown on cable. The commercial will run before the program.

In the message, Mrs. Bush calls the program “the powerful story of a teen-ager dealing with drug and alcohol abuse” and tells chil- dren to “make the right decision - - stay away from drugs and alco- hol.”

Baseball players suspended SUNY continued from page 1

The decision to suspend the players, the majority of whom was underage, was made last Friday upon the team’s scheduled return to Oneonta from Viinia, said Oneonta State President Alan Donovan.

“The coach sat down with the team and discussed his concerns,” Donovan said.

All of the suspended players signed an athletic code of con- duct at the beginning of the sea-

son in which they promised not to abuse alcohol or use illegal drugs and tobacco while on the team, college officials said.

“Obviously, our student ath- letes are representatives of the institution and have to recognize that,” Lasher said.

‘‘I suspect the coach is lament- ing this as much or more than any of the players,” he added.

Oneonta State, which competes in the NCAA’s Division 111, had 22 regular-season games on its schedule this spring.

Pansing’s assertion that many do oppose the Greek system simply does not hold water given the results of last year’s vote. If Pan- sing wishes to dispute the accu- racy of the referendum, I would remind him that the same proce- dures that have enabled him to be elected to the Senate for the past two years, and thus put him in the position to be such an outspoken critic, were used.

I havea hard time understand- ing how a member of an organi- zation that has gone to great lengths to dispel the many misconcep- tions regarding homosexuality and more importantly, stress the fact that homosexuals are an integral part of the University commu- nity, can turn around and call for the banishment of another cam- pus organization based on argu- ments that are just as untrue and misguided. Pansing’s assertion that fraternities perpetuate and encour- age homophobia, sexism, and racism are no more valid than the assertions that homosexuality spreads AIDS and therefore is contributing to the downfall of society.

Pansing lists many of his ac- cusations in his April 9 op-ed piece, but for the most part he has cited second- and third-hand sources and obviously does not know for himself if they are true. Statements like “...the last night of pledgeship is still rumored to drive pledges to tears” are just what Pansing says they are, ru- mors, and it would be unfair and wrong to treat them as anything more.

Pansing points to the cold hard stares he receives from members of the Greek community as evi- dence of their homophobia. I will admit that I have probably been one of those people. However, my cold hard stare has nothing to do with the fact that Pansing is a homosexual, I couldn’t care less. It stems from the fact that Pan- sing is outspoken in his desire to rid this campus of fraternities and sororities, organizations that for myself and hundreds of other men and women have been our most important and rewarding experi- ence at Tufts. I’m sure if I wrote op-ed articles in the Daily ques- tioning the right of homosexuals to exist I would receive those same cold hard stares from members of the Tufts Gay, Les- bian and Bisexual Community.

Given Pansing’s reactionary opinions on just about every as- pect of American society, I would never expect him to accept the Greek system. I call on the rest of the Tufts community, however, to take his comments for what they truly are, nothing more than unsubstantiated hot air with no basis in fact. Greeks are a diverse group of students who are active in all aspects of university life. They do not question the right of any other campus organization to exist and ask only that their or- ganization also be allowed to continue. I would ask the Tufts

benefits both in terms of philan- thropy and social events that the Greek system provides. As well as the overwhelming support that the student body has given to fraternities and sororities. As I’m sure most would agree, this should be a diverse university commu- nity, not one that conforms to the Teacfionary and narrow-minded views of Wally Pansing.

IGC should be commended To the Editor:

I am writing in response to Wednesday’s op-ed article by Wally Pansing. In the article, Pansing writes that the Inter-Greek Council has cleaned up the Greek system’s image by implementing programs on alcohol awareness, sexual harassment, and date rape. He praises these steps, but by throwing in a quote by Terren Wein, implies that they are mere

-“baby steps.” These programs initiated by the IGC are larger steps than those taken by any other organization and such steps are invaluable to the Tufts com- munity. As a victim of date rape nearly a year and a half ago (by an non-Greek, as a non-Greek), I was traumatized and confused. Unable to clearly identify that I had been “date raped,” I neglected to report the incident. I did not know the definition of date rape as I know it now. I credit my awareness to the IGC. Their table tents and full-page Daily ads created by the Sexual Harassment and Date Rape Committee have clearly outlined the definition of date rape to the entire Tufts community.

As this awareness has helped me to deal with a situation which was beyond my control, I only hope that it will be allowed to continue benefiting others. The time and effort put forth by the IGC should be recognized and should cease to be constantly battered and belittled by such adamant arlti-Greek sentiment.

(The Dailyagreed to withhold the name of the author at her re- quest.)

Greek system is not to blame for society To the Editor:

I am writing in response to Wednesday’s op-ed article entitled “Either a co-ed Greek system or no Greek system at all.” The numerous problems Wally Pan- sing addresses, especially those regarding homophobia, racism and sexism, are problems that cannot be solved by either of the solu- tions he proposes, which he fails to consider.

Pansing states that “members of the Greek system claim that their faults are only those that larger society exhibits” and that this is false and irrelevant. Pan- sing contradicts himself when he also writes that the Greek system is an institution that “too closely resembles the hyper-oppressive model that is the United States.” The main problems Pansing finds with the Greek system is that the system perpetuates and encour- ages homophobia, sexism, and racism, problems that exist in much harsher form in the reality of life. To suggest that they would be eliminated by abolishing the Greek system would be underestimat- ing the ignorance and poor values that unfortunately some students, Greek and non-Greek alike, may hold. To suggest, as Pansing does, that membership in the Greek system retards an individual’s growth and learning by cement- ing them within the system, is false. Face it, although we all would like to find a scapegoat for ignorance and campus problem, the Greek system is not it. Not ev- eryone is going to do enough

1 learning outside the classroom,

and simply arriving at college and being exposed to the new and different will neither change nor broaden everyone.

Pansing insists on putting his energies into attacking the Greek system instead of the real prob- lems and issues he presents. He is narrow-minded to think that the Greek system is THE problem, although it has its part in it. Per- haps the Greek system could be part of the solution instead of being seen as THE solution, as well.

Ridding this campus of the Greek system is the easy way out. It would alienate from this cam- pus a large number of people who are intelligent, motivated, and will- ing to work for campus-wide change. Our challenge lies in working together in doing what Pansing states that Tufts seeks to do: Provide a better environment than that of society at large. We cannot try to provide a bubble for some students to walk around in, nor can we mandate a set of val- ues to others. Yet together we can try to educate and learn from one another with the hopes of de- stroying the barriers that divide gay/straight, black/white, and male/female on this campus.

This cannot be accomplished by throwing swift judgements and generalizations back and forth between various groups. Pansing appears to judge those who wear Greek letters just as he hates to he judged as an openly, gay man. He pays no attention to the differ- ences between fraternities and sororities, the different houses, and the individuals in them. In- stead, he assumes that every Greek is pleased with the social life and atmosphere at Tufts. Maybe if we stop looking at each other’s or- ganization affiliations and sexu- ality, just maybe we could re- spect each other as intelligent individuals who are indeed em- powered with the ability to change both our campus environment and the real world we will all soon enter.

Critics hypocritical To the Editor:

This is another letter in re- sponse to the current debate over the existence of fraternities and sororities on Tufts’ diverse cam- pus. Those whoare criticizing the Greek system have been very closed-minded and bigoted, ex- actly those qualities that they have been using as reasoning for the abolition of the Greek system. These critics are complaining that, as they are members of a minor- ity group, they would not be ac- ceptedinto fraternities. However, ‘if they were offered the opportu- nity to join, it is my opinion, based on recentarticles, that they would flatly refuse. They also contend that the Greeks promote racism, sexism, and homopho- bia. These are attitudes that, un- - fortunately, are still prevalent in our society, and would be with or without the fraternities. The Greek system merely provides an outlet for some people to vent their frus- trations. In response to Wally Pansing, I would like to say that if a member of a fraternity or soror- ity were to write an article or even utter such slanders against the Tufts Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Community, it could, and would, be used as an example of the homophobic attitudes that the

Greeks allegedly promote. There- fore, his article was merely aform of prejudice that he disguised under the pretense of promoting diver- sity. It has also been said that the programs designed by Inter-Greek Council only improve the image; this is an unfair accusation. All pledges are required to attend these programs, which are meant to dispel any preconceived notions that people might have about those who arGdifferent. They are very mjch’like the program for fresh- hen, “I’m different, you’re dif- ferent, we’re all OK.” Would vou also attack this for being only an image promotion?

Finally, I would like to sug- gest, as others have done, that the critics of the Greeks open their eyes and accept fraternity broth- ers and sorority sisters for their differences. Becoming a member of a sorority helped me to be- come more involved with people and issues on campus. It did not turn me into an elitist snob.

Unfair stereotyping To the Editor:

I am writing in objection to Lisa Schwarz’s speech against the fraternity system presentedat the Faculty of Arts and Science’s meeting on Monday afternoon. I question how this group can call themselves “progressive” when they merely represent yet another unfortunate example of the closed- minded stereotyping that the Tufts experience prides itself against. Schwarz made numerous accusa- tions against the Greek system. These arguments lacked any evi- dence to support her claims. Schwarz and her group should not have taken the faults of soci-

ety and branded them upon the Greek system. This is stereotyp- ing and it is not only unfair, but also off-base. I am a member of the Greek system and I am not sexist, racist or homophobic.

Furthermore, I disagree with her group’s plan to compile inci- dents of national documentation against fraternities. It is wrong to judge the Greek system on a na- tional level. Instead one should consider what we have done here at Tufts. After all, that is what really matters.

I also have a problem under- standing why Schwarz’s group is in the process of compiling a ten- year history citing certain racist, sexist and homophobic incidents allegedly perpetrated by Greeks on this campus. It is ludicrous that Schwarz and her group can even think of holding the Greek system responsible for actions committed by people who have graduated, up to ten years ago, from.Tufts. Ten years ago I was a fourth grader who didn’t know what a fraternity was, much less sexism, racism, or homophobia.

The fraternity and sorority system at Tufts comprises roughly 20 percent of the student body. Plus there is another very large portion of the student body that benefits from the Greek system. Schwarz and her group do not represent the student body’sover- all view. Their group is composed of twenty members -- or in other words -- less than one-half of a percent of the student body.

I care aboutTufts greatly and I owe much of my fond experience here to being in a fraternity.
