r re s id e n t K ichard W arch w il l take a sabbatical to travel to Europe during the w in te r term of 1992 and has appointed em eritus professor of government M o jm ir Povolny to serve as acting president in his absence.

Warch said he d idn ’t expect any m ajor issues to come up during Po- volny’s b rie f tenure.

“ I t ’l l be norm a l science,” said Warch th is week. “W in te r term w ill work fine from our standpoint. I don’t foresee anyth ing th a t w ill confuse Povolny. He’s a savvy guy. He knows the college real w ell.”

Povolny re tired in 1986, a 27-year

He was executive secretary to the Benes party in Czechoslovakia a fter W W II and came to Lawrence shortly a fter the communists seized power in tha t country in 1949.

“ I w ill be happy to continue to do the work th a t President Warch has been d o ing ,” said Povolny yeste rday. “There may be opportunities tha t are d ifficu lt to foresee, but I hope to do the work necessary.”

Povolny said he was gratefu l to accept when Warch offered h im the job a

month ago.“ Lawrence has done so much for

me and has always been supportive and to le ra n t o f my a c tiv itie s ,” he said. “ I feel I owe it to the college and the p res iden t and the board o f trustees.”

Warch said tha t he plans to travel to Europe and up to his cabin in Door County to “ re v is it the th ings I ’ve w ritten and thought over the years.”

Celebrate! Main Stage movingo o

to Quad; Union Hill too muddyIn a last-minute change of plans, the

Celebrate! Main Stage will move to the fraternity quadrangle for tomorrow’s spring festival.

A late-running construction project and an early morning rainshower combined yesterday to turn the bottom of Union Hill into thick, sticky mud, making it impossible for trucks to get in and out of the area, said Celebrate! chair Bruce Adams.

”1 was sinking up to my ankles down there,” said Adams, who made the decision Thursday afternoon. “It’s only going to get worse.”

The stage, approximately two feet high, will be located at the east end of the Quad. A ten foot tall tent will cover the bands while they play.

“I think it’ll work well, even if it won’t provide the panoramic impact that the

Hill could have,” said Associate Dean of Students Paul Shrode. •

Beer booths will also be moved over to the Quad area, a move which required a hasty revision of the Celebrate! liquor licenses from the city of Appleton. Associate Dean of Students Paul Shrode said the city was amenable to the switch.

But the new location presents many problems for Celebrate!, foremost of which is the small size of the Quad-an area which can hold only around 2500 people, as opposed to the 5000 seating capacity on Union Hill, said Shrode.

Another challenge will lie in attempting to direct traffic over the Lawe Street footbridge, rather than allow vast numbers of people to cross busy Lawe Street on foot.

Shrode said the entire Quad would be See QUAD. Page 16

LUCC will get $90,000

BOARD CHAIR John Leatham and President Richard Warch a t last Friday’s forum.

The Lawrence U n iv e rs ity C om m un ity C ouncil w ill get $90,000 to allocate to student groups next year, said Board o f T rustees Chair John Leatham.

I t represents a 16 percent increase from la s t year’s LUCC grant of $77,500.

T h is y e a r ’ s m oney comes from two sources: $80,000 from the regu la r opera ting budget and an

ex tra $ 10,000 from the President’s office.

Leatham said the extra money w ill be used in a discretionary fund for organ izations tha t serve the entire campus and not ju s t specific sections.

P r e s id e n t R ic h a rd W arch sa id the e x tra money was an incentive fo r groups to “ develop more im a g in a tive p la n n in g on

Warch said the $10,000 w ill come from the P resident’s budget because: “ i t was my icfea.”

From The Editor’s Desk

C £ L .£ f M 2 - 4 i r ' |V U ..._s_,

I t is supposedly one of Lawrence’s greatest assets, and probably the reason why many of its students came here in the firs t place. I t ’s called the “ in te llectual community,” and there is convincing evidence to suggest that Lawrence is less than the close k n it society of th inkers our viewbook would like us to be. While Lawrence succeeds--and succeeds adm irably--in provid ing first-class academic tra in ing , it fails to rope the jumble of cerebral pursuits together into a single, bonded whole. The depressing tru th is tha t Lawrence amounts to less than the sum of its parts.

Why9 Some general observations on why the center isn’t holding 1/ A good num ber of faculty who discourage their studen ts from dedicating them selves to any sort of extracurricu lars ^or academic pursu its outside the departm ent, for th a t m atter;, An extrem ely ax adm inistrative way of p lann ing and m ain ta in ing studen t organizations,3) Consistent messages sent out from the adm inistration tha t students would be better off m inding the ir own business when it comes to the im portant things Mike the way the university is run), 4; Students who are loath to make commitments, and even more unw illing to give time to activities outside the ir own in te llectual world, f>) An increasingly fragmented campus mindset, more concerned with divisions and labels (Greeks, fem inists, connies, etc.) rather than the ties tha t bind.

The last two editorials in this space have attempted to call attention to the sorry state of the “ Lawrence community” and have proposed a more exciting sports program and a more rig id extracurricu lar structure as possible solutions.

I lie* last, and final, solution could lie w ith in the curricu lum . One of the finest experiences of “com m unity” tha t any Lawrence student can have is Freshman Studies.

N e x t y e a r ’s S c a r ff Professor, J i r i (not J iv i) V ykouka l, is the second (not the firs t) holder o f tha t chair to spend an fu ll year at Lawrence. D uring 1990- 91, Professor Edgar R. F ie ld e r has ta u g h t one course in Economics each te rm .

Since I was scheduled to be on subbatical leave next year, none o f my courses appear in the 1991-2 course schedule. Hence my having accepted a jo b a t the U n ivers ity of V irg in ia does

Farrell lauds Phi Delta Theta for volunteer contributions

To The Editor:

Here at Lawrence, as well as most other schools across the country, the fra te rn ity system becomes the re s id e n t scapegoat fo r many problems.

The members o f Phi Delta Theta in p a rticu la r carry a lo t o f negative public ity around w ith them. I would like to dispel a t least a b it of this.

Twice th is year, the Phi Delts have helped the Campus A ctiv ities Office out of ja m s .

Shortly before Icescape ’91 we realized we would need some volunteers to sell concessions.

We asked the Phi Delts and they g la d ly obliged (despite the frig id tem peratu res), and even stayed longer than they had agreed

to.Again th is week, Cele

brate! 91 was forced to move Main Stage to the F ra tern ity Quad from Union H ill.

Again, we needed help on very short notice to accomplish th is and the Phi Delts came through for us. I guess it goes to show tha t you can’t believe everyth ing you read.

On beha lf of the entire A c tiv itie s O ffice, I would like to thank the Phi Delts. Your work is thoroughly appreciated.

Ah, May. The sounds o f Cele- brate!--not to mention the orgiastic hum o f our m u ltitu d in o u s , m e rr ily copu la ting l i t t le insect friends--fill the air. Beer. Sun. Q u a lity e n te rta in m e n t o f a ll sorts. Trip Shakespeare! Yeah!

Unfortuante ly, those of us who choose to enjoy th is pa rticu la r at- t ra c tio n -o r, indeed, any o f the gigs at M ain Stage on Saturday-- are going to be packed in to the Quad w ith n ine ty m illio n other sweaty, drunken maniacs.

The story of why Main Stage is in the Quad th is year is a pathetic one and has everything to do w ith the p rio r s ite -w h ich is cu rren tly unusable due to the mismanaged and underplanned excavations of the Appleton Public W orks Departm ent.

Yes, I am re fe rring to the bottom o f Union H il l, now a de-

Guest column

turfed, muddy patch. Said mud- ho le , w h ile id ea l fo r m ud- w re s tlin g T reverites, is p re tty

much an eyesore fo r everyone else--not to mention a logistical im p o ss ib ility for the Celebrate! com m ittee a fte r ra ins Wednesday n ig h t and an unfavorab le forecast for the rest of the week.

And how, we m igh t ask, did th is un fo rtuna te state o f a ffa irs come about? In search o f an exp lana tion , we approached Tom H arper o f the Appleton D epartment o f Public Works, who is in charge of th is particu la r fiasco.

C ontinu ing in a long trad ition o f un fin ished construction projects on campus, the mess at the bottom o f Union H il l was supposed to be out o f the way by last December.

The Departm ent of N a tura l Resources had been on the c ity ’s back for about ten years to deal w ith a sewage overflow problem. The city went in and replaced the

pipe w ith one o f a wider diameter- -so lv ing th e ir problem ra th e r handily, isn’t tha t nice--but has so fa r neglected to re-seed the ground.

He is now sure tha t they w ill d e fin ite ly be done w ith the re seeding, etc. by July. So i t m ight be done at about the tim e we’re getting out of classes ... or, knowing th e ir propensity for adhering to a schedule, perhaps i t w ill s till be a sodden mess at th is time next year.

A few p a r t ia lly m it ig a t in g factors make themselves known in defense of the city. No, they could not re-seed the ground before Celebrate! because tha t much tra ffic on a newly-seeded area would tota l it. Yes, they have been hounded by the DNR for years, isn’t tha t sad.

However, they did say tha t they would be done--done~by last December. I t is th is w rite r’s opinion th a t they should not go around

m aking promises they can’t keep.R e ga rd less , we’ re s tu ck

in /w ith a morass at the bottom of Union H il l fo r Celebrate! weekend. The a lre a d y -d iff icu lt process of setting up for the bands’ performances has been made im possible.

I t is a tru ly depressing statement when the planning committees plan out Celebrate! to the last deta il, only to have a ll th e ir efforts come to naught because of the incompetence of Appleton’s Public Works Departm ent.

The idealistic pursu it o f goals has its place on the Lawrence cam pus-but in the classroom, not in estab lish ing a tim etab le fo r public works. M r. Harper ended our in terview by stating tha t they did not mean to cause any trouble fo r Lawrence or the Celebrate! committee.

W hat noble intentions; what a dismal rea lity . Enjoy the mud- w restling , folks.

Common myths exploded; watch what you sayBy Jen n ife r K uhn______L a w h k n t ia n G u k s t R e p o r t e r

One o f the professors in my departm ent likes to te ll stories about freshmen who believe every word he says.

T hey fa i th fu l ly copy down his lectures as i f they were the gospel. He, o f course, takes advantage of them , and te lls them the m ost outrageous lies to prove the po in t th a t they should be more inqu is itive , and less docile.

They, o f course, being freshmen, don’t get i t u n til he explains i t to them. I thought i t would be in teresting to present some oft- quoted, bu t outrageous lies myself, and then disprove them , dem on s tra ting the benefits o f a libera l arts education.

"Job offers have been rolling in for several months now, and it’s time for seniors to make that all important decision. Which job is the right job?”

I found this one in a career magazine, which had been carelessly left at the Trever Hall desk. How dare someone leave this where small children and prospectives might be able to read it.

They simply wouldn’t understand that the man who wrote this article was obviously speaking of a merely possible world, and not the actual world.

I’m not sure exactly what

he hoped to accomplish by presenting a fa iry ta le in a career m agazine, b u t he needn’t have bothered. The question is moot. Most of the seniors I know who are ente ring the job m arke t don’t have much d iff ic u lty p ickin g o u t w h ich job they should take. They take the one they are offered. S im ple, huh?

“Grad school offers have been pouring in for months now...” Same th ing. Except maybe, i f you’re lucky, you get to choose between going to a good school and paying your own way, • going to a d ifferent schoc on a fellowship. (Read iffe re n t’ as ‘s lig h tly in f f or.’)

L ife ’s fv . o f tough choices, isn’t it?

“You’ll never have another dating opportunity like this in your life. You are on a small campus wit at least 500 persons of the opposite sex who know you.”

Unless of course you are homosexual. Either way, you have the pleasure of trying to establish a relationship with someone who probably already has a preconceived notion of who you are, while undergoing enough scrutiny to make a goldfish self-conscious. Isn’t it romantic?

And just remember, if you mess it up, not only will you have to face this person at Downer and the Mudd for the rest of your Lawrence

career, bu t the other 499 members of the opposite sex (sic) w ill know what a pooh- head you are. You have two avenues o f escape. Take vows o f chastity , or date townies. H m m m , where’s the nearest convent?

” B ut who would f i l l the social gap, i f we got r id of the Greeks?” I a c tu a lly heard th is im m orta l phrase

come out of the mouth of one of our d istin gu ished trustees.

Of course, this isn’t the only consideration in the Greek debate, but think about what it says about Lawrentians.

Apparently, we are incapable of entertaining o u r s e l v e s w i t h o u t institutionalized drinking

parties. Not so. I spend a ll of my evenings reading Plato, and lis ten ing to Mozart.

I hope th is has been i l lu m in a tin g . I f everybody watched what they said (and wrote) more care fu lly , I ’d never have any m ateria l for these op-ed pieces. However, I don’t anticipate a shortage anytim e soon.

Not M y Problem!Quite a few administra

tors on campus were reportedly very reluctant about opening up their buildings as potential rain sites for Celebrate! Fair enough, (after all, who wants a mess in their building) but it betrays a deep seism in common within the administrative levels of the college. Celebrate! is supposedly an event that the college takes great pride in, and university bureaucrats ought not treat their own physical fa- cilites like medeval fief- doms in this case. We’re all in this boat together.

Bom to WalkTip for spring: The best

places for long, solitary walks are down along the river (where Lawrence couples used to court in the 1920s) and in the middle-

class, just-so neighborhoods west of the downtown.

Walks, esepcially when taken alone, fulfill two of man’s simplest and most complex of desires. The need to get up and move about and the need to discover who you really are.

Light of Setting Suns

Sometimes, it can be easy for seniors to forget just how little time they have left here. Now that we’re down to the last thirty or so days of college, it might not be a bad idea to spend an extra forty- five minutes or so with the people you care about. Make the time now, because you won’t always have it.

Graduation is one of the most emotionally hyerten- sive expreiences ever inflicted upon a Lawrentian. Start saying goodbye now,

not jus t to the people, but also to the campus. Perhaps you could take a walk over to your freshman room, or go eat in a restaurant you used to really like. Find a quiet corner of the library where you used to study. Think about how far you’ve come. Corny? Perhaps. Genuinely needed? Definitely.

Come together, right nowCelebrate! is one of the

only times when people from town have any real contact with Lawrence. Its a wonderful tool for fixing hard town-gown feelings.

So be kind to your fellow Appletonians tomorrow. Maybe they 11 drop that silly stereotype of us being snotty rich kids if we get a chance to talk to them. Maybe we’ll drop our silly stereotype that townies are all stupid cheeseheads, too.

Investment policy to follow ‘prinicples’; criticizedLawrence w ill requ ire

the companies i t invests in to deal e th ica lly in South A frica but w ill not u n iform ly divest from all companies which do business in the ra c ia lly -to rn A frican nation, according to a revised set o f g u ide lines passed a t la s t F r id a y ’s m eeting of the Board of Trustees.

The new policy was announced at an open forum las t F riday, attended by four students and two s ta ff members.

“ Lawrence U n iv e rs ity ’s investm ent policy is tha t, whenever possib le ...it w ill not hold shares in South A f r ic a n in v e s tm e n ts unless they have both signed the S ta tem ent o f Principles fo r South A frica and have achieved category I or II ratings,” according to the revised version of the in v e s tm e n t p o l ic y . “ Lawrence ought not own

The s ligh tly revised policy was the fru it io n of a u n iv e rs ity com m ittee on South A frican Issues, which presented its recommendations to the Board in Jan ua ry .

Most o f Lawrence’s in vestm ent policy is dictated by the gu ide lines o f the Common Fund, a pool of in vestments for colleges and un ivers ities which includes n e a r ly 90 p e rc e n t o f Lawrence’s $66 m illion endowment.

The Common Fund, according to i t ’s Statement on Investor R esponsib ility, is “ in favor” of the Statement of Principles, against bank loans to the South A frican governm ent, and aga inst

But nothing in the statement is p roh ib itive o f in vesting in companies which m aintain South A frican operations.

Members of Lawrentians Against Apartheid and for D ive s tm e n t, a s tu d e n t g r o u p , c r i t i c i z e d Lawrence’s new policy for not going fa r enough.

“ O bviously, I ’m d isapp o in te d ,” sa id C h r is Jensen . “ T h e ir m a in assumption is a financ ia l

one. T h e ir aim is fo r the fin an c ia l s tand ing o f the u n iv e rs ity .”

Jensen said LAAFD does not recognize adoption of the Statement of Principles as a va lid course o f action. He said the Statement’s author, A frican expert Leon S u llivan, w ithdrew his support fo r the po licy in 1987 because i t no lo n g e r worked.

Another o f the com m ittee’s recom m endations—a call fo r an increased comm itm en t to g e ttin g more South A frica n s tudents-- was “ in effect, an a ffirm a tion of already existing polic y , ” sa id P re s id e n t R ichard Warch.

Warch said the proposal was “ received, ra the r than fo rm a lly adopted.”

A recom m endation fo r developing an exchange rela tio n s h ip w ith a South A frica n u n iv e rs ity was also not o ffic ia lly approved since fa c u lty rev iew e rs “ did not wish to associate w ith one u n iv e rs ity ,” said W a rch .

Celebrate! 1991 gets cranked upPlanning is a year-round commitment

By Angela RoskopL a w r k n t i a n E n t k k t a in m k n t E d i t o k

For many of us, Celebrate! is a day to put aside our studies and stress and enjoy the th r i l l of music, food, and the delightful hubbub of thousands of people gathered in one place for one purpose — to have fun and enjoy spring, for the organizations and com m ittees, however, Celebrate! means a y e a r lo n g endeavor.

The m ain com m ittees, w ithout whose efforts Cele-1 brate! would be a flop, are e n te rta in m e n t, a rts and crafts, the ch ild ren ’s area, concessions, beer booths, fund-ra is ing and advertising, and log istics (set-up and clean-up). People on these committees have ben meeting every week since f ir s t te rm , w o rk ing d i l i gently to make Celebrate! a true celebration.

The main job of the enterta inm ent committee is to book acts for the various stages. W ithout them, the sound of human ch a tte r (and, of course, the buzz o f the mayflies) would be the only sounds heard. M ain- stage, trad itiona lly consisting of major rock acts, was organized by Megan Walsh. Chris M ue lle r of Phi M u A lpha Sinfonia was responsible for booking acts for the Jazz Stage, and Marcy Russell of Sigma Alpha Iota is in charge of the Classical Stage. W ith its trad itiona l folk entertainm ent, Cafe Mudd was organized by C hris Lemke, and the Country Stage was coordinated by Tom Bayer. Responsible for enterta ining the ch ildren, Laura Wake compiled a colorfu l and en te rta in ing group of performers.

The arts and crafls booths are another integral part of Celebrate!. According to Rashne Jehangir, chair of the arts and crafls committee, the ir job begins w ith w riting letters to 170-180 artists, most of whom had booths at Octoberfest or at Celebrate! last year, inv iting them to th is year’s festival. The committee is also responsible for sending perm its to those artists who w ill be coming. On the Saturday of Celebrate! is when the frenzy really begins. A fte r d irecting each a rtis t to his/her ind iv idua l spot on the green, a ll of the needs of each booth must be met -- tables, electrical outlets, etc.

O f course, what would Celebrate! be without the beer booths? Jon Henke, chair of the beer booth committee, must meet w ith the three d istributors long before Celebrate!. The committee is also responsible for seeking out campus organizations to sell beer as well as volunteers for Celebrate!’s own booths. “Getting the licensing from Appleton and seeking volunteers were the two most d ifficu lt parts o f coordinating the beer booths,” according to Henke. ,

Decky Alexander is responsible for advertising Celebrate!. Her main job was to let the surrounding Fox Cities know about the festival. This in volved taking care of press releases and meeting w ith representatives of local newspapers and radio stations. Closer to campus, the 'committee was responsible for pa in ting the wall as well as coordinating the contest for the Celebrate! design to go on t-shirts and posters.

Probably the most im portant committee overall is the logistics committee. These people are m ain ly responsible for set-up, clean-up, and the smooth functioning in-between. A ll o f the coordinators are required to meet for breakfast at 5:00 am on Saturday morning and proceed to work stra ight through un til cleanup in the wee hours of Sunday morning. “ I t has to look as i f no one was ever here.” according to Jon Henke.

Renaissance fair gave birth to eventRy Chris Mueller______C o n s k k v a to k y R k i k m i t k k

C elebrate !, Law rence’s Spring festival of the arts, is th is Saturday. More than ju s t a spontaneous party, the arts festiva l has a rich h is tory behind it.

Lawrence’s f ir s t sp ring festiva l occurred on February 19, 1973 and was the resu lt of one student’s honors pro ject: o rgan iz ing a Renaissance fe s tiv a l. The purpose o f the fa ir was to p ro v id e the Law ren ce C om m unity and the su rround ing area w ith a festive atm osphere designed for the display and presentation of various arts, crafts and sk ills .

A f lo u r is h o f h o rns opened the f i r s t R enaissance F a ir and was fo llowed by Maypole dancing, live music and theatre perform ances. A r t is ts d is played th e ir works made o f wood, le a th e r , s ilv e r . S cu lp ting po tte ry demons t r a t io n s w e re h e ld throughout the day.

Everyone was encouraged to wear authentic costumes and jo in in the fun. The campus decided to contin u e the fe s tiv a l, even though the student g raduated.

D uring th is same period of tim e, Lawrence designated one weekend per term w ith no Friday classes. Students were encouraged to stay on campus and enjoy the colors of the fa ll, the warm indoors of the w inter, or the new life of spring. Most of a ll, though, they were encouraged to relax and enjoy each others’ company. (The only one of these weekends s t il l rem a in ing is W in te r Weekend.)

The spring weekend, called “Spring F ling ,” was merged w ith the Renaissance festiva l into a s ingular happening.

Though i t dropped its Renaissance theme, w ith in the next couple o f years Celebrate! continued as a student-run festiva l, incorporating student a c tiv ity from several departments (i.e., the Theater departm ent would present a play, or ensembles from the Conservatory would perform). Over the years the event grew from an in terna l a ffa ir of Lawrence to include members of the surrounding communities, the idea being tha t Lawrence students could play host to the people of Appleton, le tting them onto the campus and presenting them this celebration as a g ift in appreciation for the community.

The festival began to develop enterta inm ent stages, using local talent. Student organizations set up food booths as a way of ra is ing funds. Celebrate! continued to grow and expand.

1984 saw a b ig change in the way Celebrate! was organized as M ike Purdo, son of LU prof. Dane Purdo and chair o f Celebrate! tha t year, decided to go for bigger names in enterta inm ent by en lis ting the support o f M ille r Beer.

M ille r was sponsoring a series o f concerts th a t toured college and com m unity festivals, and was contracted to make a stop a t Celebrate!. M ille r 's invo lvem ent enhanced Celebrate!*s fund -ra is ing ab ilit ie s and generated the in terest of other beer companies th a t did not w ant to be le ft out. Paul Shrode, advisor to Celebrate!, sees the involvem ent o f M ille r Beer as not only a profit-m aking opportunity for them, bu t also as a genuine show o f com m unity sp ir it: “ they are not sim ply some corporate structure out there in the middle of nowhere, bu t they are involved in every community in the country, and they play a role as the good neighbors in those com m unities.”

In d u s tr ia lis t L .M . A lexander was p resident of the board of trus tees d u r in g the re ign of Lawrence's most p ro lific bu ilder, President Samuel "Doc Sammy" Plantz. Due to ris ing in terest in a th le tics a t Law rence, P lantz deemed i t necessary to bu ild a g ym n as iu m .

In 1901, much to the delight of P lantz, A lexander agreed to f i nance a new gym which was b u ilt the same year. By the late twenties, the growing student body had outgrown the orig ina l A lexander G ym n a s iu m , and in 1929 A lexander again helped finance the second A lexander gym nasium, which is s till in use.

D uring its la ter years the campus gym (as i t was la te r called) served as a theater, science laboratory, a station for a blood bank, f in a l e xa m in a tio n h a ll and ROTC storage room before i t was leveled along w ith the observatory to make room for Youngchild.The Andrew Carnegie Library

Lawrence's f ir s t lib ra ry , the Samuel Appleton L ib ra ry , was housed in M ain H a ll. Monday and Thursday afternoons were reserved for use by women only, and freshmen were not allowed in a t any time.

When word spread th a t steel m agnate-tu rned-ph ilan throp ist Andrew Carnegie was beginning to donate college lib ra ries ra the r than public libraries, Doc Sammy and a couple o f e n th us ias tic a lum ni made the ir plea.

In la te 1904 Carnegie an nounced his g ift to Lawrence, and i t was b u ilt the fo llow ing year. D uring the Sixties, an annex was b u i lt onto the lib ra ry . The Carnegie L ib ra ry was torn down in 1973 to make room for the M udd, which was completed in 1976. The annex was not torn down and cu rren tly houses Technical Services, the media center,

N ot many tears were shed when j in 1857, w h ile the entire school was lis te n in g to a sermon in M a in H a ll, "The In s t i tu te " burned to the ground.The Underwood Observatory

Professor L. Wesley U n d e rwood wanted to teach astronomy badly enough tha t he began solicit in g donations for the construction o f an observatory on his own. This m ight not seem so odd except for the fact tha t he started accepting donations before he had permission from the board of trustees to bu ild the observatory. He did get perm iss ion , and by 1891 enough money had been donated and the observatory was constructed.

Underwood h im se lf did many great services for the school, was always popular w ith the students, and served as acting president in 1893. Sometime in 1894, however, Underwood seems to have done som ething to disgrace h im se lf, because i t is th is year tha t he resigned. A year la ter, the official records state tha t i t had been resolved to have the word U nderwood removed from the observato ry bu ild ing , a lthough th is was never carried out.

In the m id-twenties, Lawrence dropped the form al study of astronomy and used the bu ild ing for various science classes. The telescope was used by in terested amateurs and the occasional Cub Scout tou r. D u rin g the early f if lie s the b u ild ing was occupied by the A ir Force ROTC u n it on campus. D uring the early sixties, the b u ild ing was razed to make room fo r Y oungch ild H a ll o f Science.

Apparently there is a legend on campus tha t when the observatory was taken down, the w recking crew accidentally broke the te le

"W hat ever happened to those antiquated edifices?" one m igh t ask. W ell, ask no longer. The fo llow ing is a b r ie f h is to ry o f many o f the bu ild ings which no longer grace our campus.'The Institute"

C o n tra ry to popu la r belie f, Main H a ll was not the f irs t bu ild ing b u ilt on th is campus. "The In s titu te " as i t was known, was constructed between 1849 and

UNDERWOOD OBSERVATORY1850.

Apparently when Lawrence benefactor and namesake Amos Lawrence saw a photograph of the building, he became quite angry a t the b u ild in g s th row n- together appearance.

This year, according to Bruce Adams, th is year’s Celebrate! chair, Celebrate! is being held the Saturday a fter M other’s Day so the people on sports teams, who have conference finals the day before M other’s Day, can come and jo in the party.

Celebrate! workers said tha t all the physical effort spent tak ing care of t r iv ia l details can be frus tra ting and unappreciated, especially when everyone else on campus is having such a good time. But a ll the sweat and stra in and sorrow tend to foster a feeling of camraderie w ith in the group.

“ I t sounds a lit t le s illy ,” confided a committee member, “b u t one of my fondest Lawrence memories w ill always be rid ing the garbage truck in the middle o f the n ight a fler having gone w ithout sleep for 24 hours--heav- ing bags fu ll o f s lim y plastic cups into a dumpster and singing songs. I t was absolutley insane. But I ’d do it a ll over again.”

W ith M il le r ’s backing, Celebrate! was able to entice reg iona lly - known enterta inm ent acts to Mainstage and get an increase in a ttendance to crowds in excess o f 40,000 from earlier levels o f 5,000 - 7,000.

Celebrate! used to be held on M other’s Day and was advertised as a trea t for Mom." However, as runn ing a festiva l on Sunday, cleaning up,

and then going to classes on Monday proved to be a rough experience for the students involved, Celebrate! was moved to the Saturday before M other’s Day.

Past Celebrate! festiva ls have included auctions, raffles, a comedy stage, an antique show and sale, an exhibition o f antique cars, displays of the a rtw o rk o f ch ild ren from local schools, f ilm festiva ls, an organ recita l, ju rie d a rt shows, a space outdoor sculpture and exhib ition, and all k inds o f things to try to make Celebrate! in teresting and fun .”

Webb serves as an oasis in the nightB y i ’o m A o e im e r________ __________________L a w r e n t ia n E x e c u t iv e E d it o r

W hile Appleton sleeps the deep slumber of a m idw este rn m id -sp rin g m id n ig h t, George Webb, 1939 N. Richmond, is awake w ith the slow rhythm s of tha t small part o f the city tha t never goes to bed. ___

Webb comes close to the platonic ideal-type of what a greasy spoon diner is supposed to be. A ll the usual suspects are present: th ick coffee, a few bugs on the table, cholesterol-soaked food, an affable cook named M ike, tw enty-four hours o f business, forgetfu l waitresses, and a motley patronage composed of tired cops, local characte rs , m illw o rk e rs , g igg ly h ig h schoolers, salesmen, truckers, and d runks on the way home from the bars.

Only one th ing keeps George Webb from bein g the genuine a rtic le : i t ’s not a local proprietorship. D isappointingly, i t ’s a chain.

B u t a good chain, not a mass-produced nationw ide gastronomic fungus like McDonalds. Webb has class and character and (most im porta n tly ) i t ’s only in Wisconsin.

George Webb, the man, was a 1940s M ilw aukee restauranteur who got a reputation among B rew er fans who used to drop by h is lu n cheonette a fter the games. H is status grew and so did his chain of diners. Today, there are 45 of them statewide, a ll of whom serve the same

quin tessen tia l Am erican, n o -fr ills , a fte r-the- ballgame cuisine.

Appleton’s Webb is 28 years old and going strong. Being only one of three 24 hour restauran ts in town, i t does a booming la te -n igh t business. The dead of n ight is the best time to go to the Webb, fo r the food and the coffee and the clientele tend to be at the top of the ir form in the wee hours.

Restaurant Review:

George Webb 1939 N Richmond

On the philosophical side, i t can be argued tha t these are the times when an a ll-n igh t diner most fu lf i l ls its mission in life. An oasis in a m idn ight desert o f closed burger jo in ts for the hungry , a clean, w e ll- ligh ted place fo r the lonely, and a soft yellow glow in the m iddle of the dark n igh t for ju s t about everyone. There is no one who has never needed a cup of coffee and a k in d sm ile from a chubby waitress when things seem gloomy, and i t ’s no surprise tha t a

lo t o f these places used to be named “Mom’s” in the 1950s.

“ I t ’s a friend ly place where everybody feels com fortable,” said owner and graveyard-sh ift cook M ike Forrest. “ I t ’s a stopping place for a lot o f people regardless of the ir economic level.”

F o rre s t sa id Webb is a p la te where businessmen and po litic ians rub elbow* w ith the destitute.

“We get a ll k inds in here,” he said. “A lot of i t is from the darker side.”

The food is, pleasantly, about what you'd expect. Breakfast is served a ll day long, and the eggs are su rp ris ing ly grease-free. Omelets are priced around $2.50, and they come w ith the standard slabs o f butter-soaked toast. The coffee (55 cents) is strong, and the pancakes (called “ wheatcakes” at Webb) are thick.

D inners are the standard m iddle-American fa re - fr ie d chicken, roast beef, s te a k -a ll the staples at $5.50 a plate.

B ut u ltim a te ly , the food isn’t rea lly the centerpiece at Webb. I t ’s the la te-n igh t experience, the qu ie t gathering of the tow nfo lk, and the m urm ured conversation over the angry sizzle from the k itchen th a t make the experience w orthw hile .

Th is is an advantage, because the fo rm ta u g h t is closer to the o rig ina l forms.

U n lik e o th e r k a ra te schools, LKC is a non-profit organization. Students pay for only th e ir un ifo rm and th e ir belts — and these at th e ir m in im um cost. More than two hundred students

have passed through at least one class, some staying to yellow belt, but the numbers drop o ff as the belts get h igher.

Besides Adrow ski, only one other person has made i t to blue belt. Part of th is is because of the d ifficu lty of reaching black belt in only four years o f twice-a-week classes, w ith three months o f f fo r each sum m er. “Students have to be motivated to make i t through,”

said head in s tru c to r J e ff Nass, who m a in ta ins th a t what you put in to i t is what you get out o f it.

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!

Some solutions to the Caddis fly problemBy A p r il K ism anI.AwiiKNTiAN C o p y E d it o r

The Fox River is always causing problems for the Lawrence community. But th is time it's not the smell th a t 's g o t s tu d e n ts com plaining, i t ’s the bugs. These pesky c r it te rs are called Caddis flie s , and they're here to rem ind us th a t we should be inside studying and not p lay ing frisbee golf or getting a tan.

It seems tha t cleaning up the rive r by th row ing in deoxygenators has k illed a lo t of la rvae-snarfing fish, which, combined w ith the h igher than-norm a l ra in fa ll o f la te and the flies' natura l life cycle, has created a lite ra l smog of bugs around the Lawrence community.

LUCC has offered a fu ll, one-year scho la rsh ip to anyone who can find a way

to get rid of these pests: these horny buggers are in vio la tion of local privacy laws. M o tiva ted students have been b ra in s to rm in g over la te -n igh t pizza. One fra te rn ity member suggested an all-cam pus bon fire to burn the suckers from the a ir ; th a t d id n 't w o rk . Others have suggested lin k ing the rope ch ild ren to gether w ith fly tape and le tting them loose on the campus, but th a t has yet to be tried .

O thers are m ak ing the best of the situation. Some are conserving chalk and ju s t stamping bugs into the messages they want, such as: "Hooray, Hooray; it's f in a l ly M a y ; O u td o o r liv ing stops today". Others are w aking up la te r and catching a bite to eat on the ir w alk to class; who needs Downer? W hile s till others IT ’S ALWAYS NICE to have the trustees on campus.

This week in The Lawrentian...75 years ago-The Lawrentian, "America’s Greatest College Weekly,” costs ive cents-The Methodist church council has decided to allow Methodist schools to sponsor dances. Lawrentians rejoice.Freshman Frederick C. Aebischer wins a debate on prohibition after ambasting opponents from University of Wisconsin and Carrol College for lieir immoral ways.50 years ago-Campus overrun by swarms of "wee beasties". It is impossible to walk over to Alexander Gym without "inhaling a pint of them".-A conservatory student vents his anger over the attitude of the college students towards "con spooks." He proposes a Get-Acquainted-With-A- Real-Live-Spook day.25 years ago-The new food service center and women’s dormitory are named, Jason Downer Commons and Kohler Hall, respectively.-A letter to the editor written in Spanish asks why there aren’t any students from Spain or Latin America enrolled at Lawrence. The author questions the ability of the Spanish department to adequately teach Spanish without native speakers of the language.10 years ago-Due to an uncontested LUCC presidential election, the editor derides students for their apathy toward toward LUCC.-In an article profiling Professor Gervais Reed, Professor Reed says tha Lawrence students are of equal quality to those at Ivy League schools. He disputes the claim that students of today are less prepared for college, bu adds that he believes that today's students complain more about too much work or feel that professors’ expectations are too high.

This year, according to Bruce Adams, th is year’s Celebrate! chair, Celebrate! is being held the Saturday after M other’s Day so the people on sports teams, who have conference finals the day before M other’s Day, can come and jo in the party.

Celebrate! workers said tha t a ll the physical effort spent tak ing care of tr iv ia l details can be fru s tra tin g and unappreciated, especially when everyone else on campus is having such a good time. But all the sweat and stra in and sorrow tend to foster a feeling of camraderie w ith in the group.

“ I t sounds a lit t le s illy ," confided a committee member, “but one of my fondest Lawrence memories w ill always be rid ing the garbage truck in the middle of the n ight after having gone w ithout sleep for 24 hours-heav- ing bags fu ll o f slim y plastic cups into a dumpster and singing songs. I t was absolutley insane. But I ’d do it a ll over again.”

W ith M il le r s backing, Celebrate! was able to entice reg iona lly- known enterta inm ent acts to Mainstage and get an increase in a tten dance to crowds in excess of 40,000 from earlier levels of 5,000 - 7,000.

Celebrate! used to be held on M other’s Day and was advertised as a trea t for Mom. However, as runn ing a festival on Sunday, cleaning up,

and then going to classes on Monday proved to be a rough experience for the students involved, Celebrate! was moved to the Saturday before M other’s Day.

Past Celebrate! festiva ls have included auctions, raffles, a comedy stage, an antique show and sale, an exhibition of antique cars, displays of the a rtw o rk o f ch ildren from local schools, f ilm festiva ls, an organ recita l, ju rie d a rt shows, a space outdoor sculpture and exhibition, and all kinds of things to try to make Celebrate! interesting and fun.”

AU kinds pass through its doors.

Webb serves as an oasis in the nightB y l o m A o e im e r L a w h k n t i a n E x e c u t i v e E d i t o r

W hile Appleton sleeps the deep slumber of a m idw este rn m id -sp rin g m id n ig h t, George Webb, 1939 N. Richmond, is awake w ith the slow rhythm s of tha t small part o f the city tha t never goes to bed.

Webb comes close to the platonic ideal-type of what a greasy spoon diner is supposed to be. A ll the usual suspects are present: th ick coffee, a few bugs on the table, cholesterol-soaked food, an affable cook named M ike, tw enty-four hours of business, forgetfu l waitresses, and a motley patronage composed of tired cops, local characte rs , m illw o rk e rs , g igg ly h igh schoolers, salesmen, truckers, and drunks on the way home from the bars.

Oniy one th ing keeps George WebD from being the genuine a rtic le : i t ’s no t a local proprietorship. D isappointingly, i t ’s a chain.

B u t a good chain, not a mass-produced nationw ide gastronomic fungus like McDonalds. Webb has class and character and (most im portan tly ) i t ’s only in Wisconsin.

George Webb, the man, was a 1940s M ilw aukee restauranteur who got a reputation among B rewer fans who used to drop by h is lu n cheonette after the games. His status grew and so did his chain o f diners. Today, there are 45 of them statewide, a ll of whom serve the same

qu in tessen tia l Am erican, n o -fr ills , a fte r-the- ballgam e cuisine.

Appleton’s Webb is 28 years old and going strong. Being only one of three 24 hour restauran ts in town, i t does a booming la te -n igh t business. The dead of n ight is the best time to go to the Webb, for the food and the coffee and the clientele tend to be a t the top of the ir form in the wee hours.

Restaurant Review:

George Webb 1939 N Richmond

On the philosophical side, i t can be argued tha t these are the times when an a ll-n igh t diner most fu lf i l ls its mission in life. An oasis in a m idn ight desert o f closed burger jo in ts for the hung ry , a clean, w e ll- ligh ted place fo r the lonely, and a soft yellow glow in the m iddle of the dark n ight for ju s t about everyone. There is no one who has never needed a cup of coffee and a k in d sm ile from a chubby waitress when th ings seem gloomy, and i t ’s no surprise tha t a

lo t of these places used to be named “ Mom’s” in the 1950s.

“ I t ’s a friend ly place where everybody feels com fortable,” said owner and graveyard-sh ift cook M ike Forrest. “ I t ’s a stopping place for a lot o f people regardless of the ir economic level.”

F o rre s t said Webb is a pla«e where businessmen and po litic ians rub elbows w ith the destitute.

“ We get a ll k inds in here,” he said. “A lot of i t is from the darker side."

The food is, pleasantly, about what you'd expect. Breakfast is served all day long, and the eggs are su rp ris ing ly grease-free. Omelets are priced around $2.50, and they come w ith the standard slabs of butter-soaked toast. The coffee (55 cents) is strong, and the pancakes (called “ w heatcakes” a t Webb) are thick.

D inners are the standard middle-American fa re - fr ie d chicken, roast beef, s te a k -a ll the staples at $5.50 a plate.

But u ltim a te ly , the food isn ’t rea lly the centerpiece at Webb. I t ’s the la te-n ight experience, the quiet gathering of the tow nfo lk, and the m urm ured conversation over the angry sizzle from the k itchen th a t make the experience w orthw hile .

Adrowski gets a kick out of KarateBy April Eisman L a w h k n t i a n R k p o k t k k

M o st c h ild re n le a rn early on th a t k ick in g and y e llin g don’t accom plish much. B ut there are always a few, lik e senior M ike A d ro w s k i, who n e ve r le a rn .

On S a tu rday, M ay 4, Adrow ski became the f irs t student to become a black be lt through the Lawrence Karate program. In the Rec C e n te r ’ s M u lt i-P u rp o s e Room, he tested fo r i t in fro n t o f a panel of six black be lts and va rious under belts.

D u rin g the exhaustive test which lasted over an hour, he went through six Tae Kwon Do form s (a group o f m artia l a rts ’ steps th a t have been passed on through the years to teach technique) and a Kung Fu form , fough t one on two, fough t o the r b lack belts, answered questions, and d id a com p lica ted k ic k series.

A lthough th is was h is only scheduled shot at a b la c k b e lt , A d ro w s k i adm its he had been more nervous about his brown belt test. “You have to be calm and relaxed. Once you s tart to stress, you screw up,” he r e a l iz e d s o m e w h e re between the two tests. He knew i t would be tough - - it WAS a black belt test - - but he also knew his instructors

were c o n fid e n t in h is a b ilit ie s .

A drow ski began ta k in g ka ra te in the fa ll o f h is fre shm an year th ro u g h Lawrence. A t th a t tim e , karate was ju s t an all-year in tra m u ra l a c tiv ity . T h is fa ll i t was recognized as a club, and Adrowski became its f irs t president.

The club’s teachings are based on Song Moo Kwan, which is the Tae Kwon Do school o f the Evergreen Tree, created in Korea by G randm aster Byung J ick Ro. Ro is one of the highest ra n k in g Tae Kwon Do masters in the world. Bob Shraeder, the figure- head o f the Lawrence Kara te Club, studied under h im , w h ile J e ff Nass, D a rry l Duncan, and Ron Duncan stud ied under Shraeder.

The St. Andrews of frisbee golfCourse otters challenge and diversion

By I)oc Kastafaria__________ _______________I jAw k k n t ia n E m i ia k a s s m k n t

One of the forms of life indigenous to the area imm ediately surrounding Lawrence is the fr is bee golfer. U sua lly sporting bandannas and a s ligh tly dazed look, these guys shuffle around campus at a ll hours of the day, fling ing plastic disks and g run ting w ith great vigor. His na tu ral hab ita t is a midwestern spring, his natura l enemy is classes or responsibility of any sort.

But one doesn’t necessary need to be a male, a burnout, or even a Sig Ep to play and enjoy fr is bee golf. A ll you need is a disk, a course, and a certain lust for life.

Theore tica lly , any place on campus could serve as a frisbee go lf hole. S im ply aim and throw at it. Count your strokes and the high (ahem) player loses. A fte r awhile, th is can get tedious. W hat the am ateur golfer rea lly needs is a challenge-a chance to play alongside the proverbial giants of the sport.

R isking much bodily harm , our crack team of Law rentian investigators managed to secure a reliable map o f the most often-played course on campus. This is the St. Andrews of Lawrence frisbee golf. I t has no formal name, but in honor o f its resourceful designers, its linksters have affectionately dubbed it ‘T he Spee Course.”

The course itse lf is a delightfu l romp through the well-traveled Lawrence byways; u tiliza tion of the environm ent is the name of the game. I t may be a part of the scenery to anyone normal, but to the die-hard, i t ’s a target. Lightpoles, fire plugs, foun ta ins, signs, you name it. Take cover.

Hole 1. Start in front of the Sig Ep house (notat all symbolic) and aim for the mailbox on the

corner o f Meade and John. Watch out for the m ailm an. Par: 3

Hole 2: A dogleg to the le ft, the hole is the lightpost in fro n t of the Trever bike rack. Helpfu l h in t: skim your disk along the pavement. I t ’l l go farther. Par: 4

Hole 3: The fire p lug on the Trever-Sage lawn. You must tee o ff w ithout leaving the T r ever porch. Par: 2 (c’mon, its easy)

Hole 4: The firp lu g at the end of John. Here’s the place where its rea lly easy to nail anyone foolish enough to be a pedestrian in th is k ind of weather. Watch out for the cars, too. Some people don’t take k in d ly to having th e ir autos tagged w ith fly ing plastic. Par: 5

Hole 5: The ligh tpost in fron t o f the union. This shot takes some finesse, since you m ust clear Lawe Street. Hazards include a forest of lightposts and passing townies underneath who like to run over your frisbee. Watch out. Par: 3

Hole 6 : The firep lug at the base of The party should appoint a “spotter” to run up to the edge of Union H ill to watch where each players tee shot happens to unfortunately roll. The city o f Appleton has thoughtfu lly provided Lawrence w ith the most expensive unna tu ra l hazard money can buy, so make good use of the mud p it at the base. Par: 4.

Hole 7: Whoever designed th is hole deserves either a kiss for crea tiv ity or a hard slap in the face for sheer cruelty. Stand at the base of the h ill ju s t west of the Rec Center and aim for any part of the W LFM tower atop the steep incline. Tougher than i t looks. H in t: hug the walls. Par:3.

Hole 8 : Shoot your tee shot through the na r

row, foliated passage between Youngchild and Sampson House, wave to R ik on your way through, and try to get your second, th ird , and fourth shots as close to the c ircu lar bench on the northwest corner of Main Hall as you can. Par: 5

Hole 9: A nice straightaway. Tee off from the steps of Main H all (where, by the way, President W illia m H ow ard T a ft once addressed a th r il l in g Fox Valley audience) and aim for the ugly brown sign on College Avenue advertising “ M ain H a ll.” Par: 3.

Hole 10: The stop sign in fro n t o f Ormsby. Par: 5.

Hole 11: The brown sign in fron t of Brokaw. There are more holes-in-one here than on any other spot on the Spee course. Aim high. Par: 2 .

Hole 12: The hollow metal statute tha t used to s it in the lib ra ry , but has now migrated out onto the Colman lawn for the spring. You must h it the statute itse lf-n o t the concrete base. Par: 3 .

Hole 13: Watch out. You’re a im ing for the fireplug in fron t of Ormsby, bu t to get there, you have to shoot through the treacherous tunnel of greenage the surrounds the Drew Street bridge. Par: 5.

Hole 14: Long shot a ll the way to the historical m arker next to the bus stop. Who said frisbee go lf wasn’t educational? Par: 5.

Hole 15: The fountain is your target. A dogleg to the le ft w ith a b lind throw into clumps of passing classmates. When you get there, don’t d rink the water. Par: 4.

Hole 16: Across Lawe Street, dodging traffic, to the Raymond House sign. Par: 3 .

Carnivale! offers royal entertainmentBy James Meek________________L aw kkntlan G ukot Rk p o r t k ii

T h is weekend, Lawrence w ill re tu rn to a tim e o f swashbuckling s w o rd p la y , p r in c e s a nd princesses, K ings and Queens, and kn igh ts and ch iva lry as Carn ivale! subjects the campus to its royal hum or and enterta inm ent.

A n n e B r e n n a n ,w riter/producer/d irector/co-star of Carnivale! fo r the past two years, has concocted a show four and a h a lf hours shorter than last year’s a ll-day extravaganza. The shorter length benefits Carnivale! in two ways: i t w ill preformed four times, once Friday at 4:30 and three times on Celebrate! Saturday. The quality o f the show has also improved. Last year’s performance was an in te res tin g , chaotic spraw l, and only the most committed audience could see the whole th ing . This year’s compressed show manages

to keep most of the enjoyable b its from las t year, w h ile m aking the whole th in g easier to s it through (the steps in the am pitheatre are hard a fter six hours). I t ’s worth the hour and a h a lf o f your tim e a t Celebrate!; the sheer energy and enjo y m e n t o f the perfo rm ance hand ily carries the day.

The story is once again simple, w ith the benefits and flaws th a t s im p lic ity enta ils . I t is easy to walk in a t any tim e du ring the performance and pick up on the action. C ha rac te rs are draw n sim ply for the most part, and the action consists o f three set pieces. On the other hand, the plot has the b lu n t force o f a sledgehammer ra th e r than the elegance o f a chisel.

went in to three m inutes o f C arn ivale!, however, than into an entire “ Re-M an” episode, and the whole th ing is loads more fun.

The story largely concerns two bands of people, a band of outlaw women and the royal court. The N arra to r (M att Bietz) explains tha t on a day o f Carnivale, the k ing ’s court entered the town tha t the outlaw women have holed up in to celebrate. A conflict ensues between the bands — the kn igh ts fo r the most part wish to capture or k i l l the outlaw band. In the sp ir it of Carn iva le!, however, a more elegant solution to the quarrel is proposed, and la s t year’s cu lm in a tin g set piece brought back. The commanders fo r e ither side, S ir Beauregard (Peter Rogers) and A riana (Carissa Balgemann), w ill battle each other in a game of chess, using real people as pieces. T itan ia , the na tive s p ir it o f B r ita n n ia (P a tric ia E llis), arb its the match, and the conflic t and resolutions I ’l l leave for you to discover.

As said before, the story is simple, yet engaging. Several of the performers stand out. Rogers and Balgemann are excellent as the opposing commanders with a secret romantic past. They swash- buckle, intellectually as well as physically, through the entire game with the right amount of spirit. Kristin Alvarez as Rosen, the outlaws’ fool, and Scott Fuller, as Guilden, the King’s fool (if the pun in the names escapes you, turn to Shakespeare or Stoppard), act with complementary antic glee; they are the brightest spots in the show, really, bringing lighthearted humor and bad puns to the proceedings. Bob Ebbe is a standout as the Lord High Abbot (it’s almost surprising that there’s no

Lord H igh Costello, as well). He sneers w ith p ious m alignance throughout, and i t ’s rea lly a shame tha t he has to have a comeuppance a t the end-he ’s sulked so well for the rest o f his performance.

Brennan again acts in C a rn ivale!, as one of the outlaw women, bu t th is year she’s taken herse lf away from the center stage (s till rem a in ing f irm ly in contro l o ffstage). She plays Sorcha well, bu t i t ’s nice th a t no one persona lity dominates th is year.

The sideline action is at least as en te rta in ing as the s to ry line i t self, and w ith a band o f outlaws, a k ing ’s court, a b ro the l’s w orth o f whores, and a few assorted characters roam ing the stage, the re ’s p lenty o f sideline action to be seen. Courtiers f l i r t w ith wenches, fools f la il fis ts a t kn igh ts , sneers f l i t over the chessboard, and the whole scene verges on pandemonium bu t never reaches it.

The stage fighting this year has improved, both with swordi and fists, the chess game is nev#r boring; to take a sqare the attacker must battle the person defending it. The choreography of theffights is excellent. Rapid, all-out duels are contrasted and interspersed with battles of wit or wiles. The variety of contests is amazing! highlights are matches between t^e Abbot and Queen Eleanor r (May Hockenberger), Rosen , and Guilden, and Sir Beauregard and Madam Cherry (Leigh Newland). These three have their humorous aspects — how does a snivelling king's abbot successfully get his queen to leave the board? The “ordinary” fights are equally impressive; Beauregard/Rogers is especially handy with his blade,See CARNIVALE!*

The St. Andrews of frisbee golfCourse offers challenge and diversion

By Doc R asta fa ria__________________________LA W H KN TIA N E m IIAKASSMKNT

One of the forms of life indigenous to the area imm ediately surrounding Lawrence is the f r is bee golfer. U sua lly sporting bandannas and a s ligh tly dazed look, these guys shuffle around campus at a ll hours of the day, fling ing plastic disks and g run ting w ith great vigor. His na tu ra l hab ita t is a midwestern spring, his natura l enemy is classes or responsibility of any sort.

But one doesn’t necessary need to be a male, a burnout, or even a Sig Ep to play and enjoy fr is bee golf. A ll you need is a disk, a course, and a certain lust for life.

T heore tica lly , any place on campus could serve as a frisbee go lf hole. S im ply aim and throw at it. Count your strokes and the high (ahem) player loses. A fte r awhile, th is can get tedious. W hat the amateur golfer rea lly needs is a challenge-a chance to play alongside the proverbial giants o f the sport.

R isking much bodily harm , our crack team of Lawrentian investigators managed to secure a reliable map o f the most oflen-played course on campus. This is the St. Andrews of Lawrence frisbee golf. I t has no formal name, but in honor o f its resourceful designers, its linkste rs have affectionately dubbed it ‘The Spee Course.”

The course itse lf is a delightfu l romp through the well-traveled Lawrence byways; u tiliza tion of the environment is the name of the game. I t may be a part of the scenery to anyone normal, but to the die-hard, i t ’s a target. Lightpoles, fire plugs, foun ta ins , signs, you name it. Take cover.

Hole 1. S ta r t in front of the Sig Ep house (notat all symbolic) and aim for the mailbox on the

corner of Meade and John. Watch out for the m ailm an. Par: 3

Hole 2: A dogleg to the le ft, the hole is the lightpost in fron t of the Trever bike rack. Helpfu l h in t: skim your d isk along the pavement. I t ’ll go farther. Par: 4

Hole 3: The fire p lu g on the Trever-Sage lawn. You must tee o ff w ithout leaving the T rever porch. Par: 2 (c’mon, its easy)

Hole 4: The firp lug at the end o f John. Here’s the place where its rea lly easy to nail anyone foolish enough to be a pedestrian in th is k ind of weather. Watch out for the cars, too. Some people don’t take k ind ly to having th e ir autos tagged w ith fly ing plastic. Par: 5

Hole 5: The ligh tpost in fron t of the union. This shot takes some finesse, since you must clear Lawe Street. Hazards include a forest of lightposts and passing townies underneath who like to run over your frisbee. Watch out. Par: 3

Hole 6 : The firep lug at the base of The party should appoint a “spotter” to run up to the edge of Union H ill to watch where each players tee shot happens to unfortunately roll. The city o f Appleton has thoughtfu lly provided Lawrence w ith the most expensive unna tu ra l hazard money can buy, so make good use of the mud p it at the base. Par: 4.

Hole 7: Whoever designed th is hole deserves either a kiss for creativ ity or a hard slap in the face for sheer cruelty. Stand at the base of the h ill ju s t west of the Rec Center and aim for any part o f the W LFM tower atop the steep incline. Tougher than it looks. H in t: hug the walls. Par: 3.

Hole 8 : Shoot your tee shot through the nar

row, folia ted passage between Youngchild and Sampson House, wave to R ik on your way through, and try to get your second, th ird , and fourth shots as close to the circular bench on the northwest corner of Main Hall as you can. Par: 5

Hole 9: A nice straightaway. Tee off from the steps of Main Hall (where, by the way, President W illia m H ow ard T a ft once addressed a th r il l in g Fox Valley audience) and aim for the ugly brown sign on College Avenue advertising “ M ain H a ll.” Par: 3.

Hole 10: The stop sign in fron t o f Ormsby. Par: 5.

Hole 11: The brown sign in fron t of Brokaw. There are more holes-in-one here than on any other spot on the Spee course. Aim high. Par: 2 .

Hole 12: The hollow metal statute tha t used to s it in the lib ra ry , but has now migrated out onto the Colman lawn for the spring. You must h it the statute itse lf-n o t the concrete base. Par: 3.

Hole 13: Watch out. You’re a im ing for the fireplug in fron t of Ormsby, but to get there, you have to shoot through the treacherous tunnel of greenage the surrounds the Drew Street bridge. Par: 5.

Hole 14: Long shot a ll the way to the historical m arker next to the bus stop. Who said frisbee go lf wasn’t educational? Par: 5.

Hole 15: The fountain is your target. A dogleg to the le ft w ith a b lind throw into clumps of passing classmates. When you get there, don’t d rink the water. Par: 4 .

Hole 16: Across Lawe Street, dodging traffic, to the Raymond House sign. Par: 3 .

Carnivale! offers royal entertainmentBy James Meek________________L aw kkntlan G ukht R e p o r t e r

T h is weekend, Lawrence w ill re tu rn to a tim e o f swashbuckling s w o rd p la y , p r in c e s and princesses, K ings and Queens, and kn igh ts and ch iva lry as Carnivale! subjects the campus to its royal hum or and enterta inm ent.

A n n e B r e n n a n ,w riter/producer/d irector/co-star o f Carnivale! for the past two years, has concocted a show four and a h a lf hours shorter than last year’s a ll-day extravaganza. The shorter length benefits Carnivale! in two ways: i t w ill preformed four times, once Friday at 4:30 and three times on Celebrate! Saturday. The quality o f the show has also improved. Last year’s performance was an in te res tin g , chaotic spraw l, and only the most committed audience could see the whole th ing . This year’s compressed show manages

to keep most o f the enjoyable bits from las t year, w h ile m aking the whole th in g easier to s it through (the steps in the am pitheatre are hard after six hours). I t ’s worth the hour and a h a lf o f your tim e at Celebrate!; the sheer energy and enjo y m e n t o f the perfo rm ance hand ily carries the day.

The story is once again simple, w ith the benefits and flaws th a t s im p lic ity en ta ils . I t is easy to walk in a t any tim e d u ring the performance and p ick up on the action. C ha racte rs are d raw n sim ply for the most part, and the action consists of three set pieces. On the other hand, the plot has the b lu n t force o f a sledgehammer ra th e r than the elegance of a chisel. Good and bad are boldly drawn, the moral is not only obvious b u t spoken exp lic itly ; a t its worst the show resembles a “ He- M an” cartoon. More in te lligence

PHOTO POLL: Do you care about board of trustee decisions

Tonv Alioto - *93“Yes I do care. I think it’s im portan t that the trustees communicate with the students.”

Kenton M uschenheim . £ 1“Theoretically,yes.”

Natalie Catren- ’93 “I don’t rea lly get that involved with it.”

Did you ever pick up a sixteen page newspaper and look at the way all the columns fit together, and consider the amount of small details that needed to be fixed in a production of that size, and notice the sheer amount of writing, and think about how many arms had to be twisted to get people to do all that stuff, especially at a place like Lawrence, especially when they let you down and you wind up doing most of it yourself?

Did you ever think that would be a lot of work? You’re right. The Lawrentian. Busting our butt for you folks when you don’t even care.

Ubah Hussein -:ai“For students in terested in bringing about change I think the trustees are one of the most important groups to appeal to - that’s where the power really lies!”

John Wilkinson- ‘93“Oh sure, I care about what they say - I wonder if they care about what I say!”

f ic ia l academic boundaries and sharing knowledge together.

Two possible objections to th is plan are w orth mentio n in g . Some professors m ight not like i t because it would mean they’d actually have to give up provincia l research for part of the year and concentrate on teaching a wide body of knowledge. Needless to say, these are exactly the type of pedagogues tha t are not supposed to belong at an in s titu tio n like Lawrence, w hich is supposed to encourage thought about a broad range of topics.

Secondly, i t could be said th a t such a plan would be fo rc in g an o ve rly r ig id course of study onto the hapless student, not a llow ing h im or her freedom enough

done piece o f e n te rta in ment. Carnivale! does have qu in tessen tia lly tw entie th- century th ings to say about the equality o f women, re ligious piety, and social problems; again, these don’t rea lly work against the play. A uthentic they may not be, bu t out of place they are not. C arn iva le ! 1991 is an enjoyable piece of theatre, an a m b it io u s p ro je c t a d m ira b ly p u lled off, and should not be missed.

Hole 17: The Post-Crescent box in fro n t of Downer is good fo r something a fte r a ll. No penalty for th row ing your frisbee in to Downer. Par: 4.

Hole 18: Back to the Sig Ep rock. Tee off from the Downer porch and avoid the long-haired burnouts p lay ing th e ir own form o f (heresy!) frisbee in the Quad. Grab your favorite beverage and argue about scores. You’re done!

Should you play, always remember to follow proper golfers ettiquette:

• I t is customary to ye ll “ fore!” ju s t a few nanoseconds before bean ing an innocen t passerby.

•Don’t giggle too loud i f you h it a parked car.•L e t faster players play through. Maybe they

actually have something im portant to do.

to choose an in d iv id u a l course o f study. To stretch Freshman Studies out over fou r years seems lik e a re lic o f some overly-p re scribed 19th cen tu ry approach to higher education. T ha t may be true , b u t i t should not be forgotten tha t there w ill never again be a tim e in our lives when we'll have the tim e to read and ta lk seriously about s ign ificant books. There is not another fou r years like it. Losing one extra class a year is a small price to pay for two extra terms o f the G reat Books and a b righ t,live ly, diverse group o f people to discuss them w ith.

I f Lawrence would take the Four Year Studies plan, rev ita lize its in tercolleg iate sports, and f irm up its ex- tracu rricu la rs , i t w ill have come a long way tow ards b re ak in g down the fake ba rrie rs we've constructed around ourselves.

Lawrence has the potentia l to be one of the nation ’s fin es t sm all colleges, and its not too much to th ink tha t i f we started liv in g outside o f o u rse lve s -fin d in g s p ir itua l w orth not only in w hat benefits us, b u t in what bene fits the e n tire le a rn in g c o m m u n ity -- th e n recog nized scholastic excellence would be added unto us as w e ll.
