Discussion of attrition at Lawrencebv Lea Sitton

W ith sm a ll co lleges con ­ce rn ed abou t d ec re a s in g e n ­rollment. there is a necessary interest in the attrition rate . At Lawrence, however, this concern has not resulted in a formal study of reasons why students transfer. Regarding attrition , some ad­m inistrators consider the m orale of the cam pus m ore im portant than the d is sa tis fa c tio n of d ep a r tin g s tu d e n ts . F u r ­therm ore, there seem to be doubts concerning the accuracy of m easuring such dissatisfaction

Assistant to the President, Sherwin Howard, says there is “ difficulty in m easuring whether indeed it (attrition) has actually happened.” He notes that the traditional m easure of attrition, which records decrease in class size from the freshm an to senior year, fails to consider students who “ step-out” and those who transfer in. Thus, ‘‘if one year the R egistrar counted 100 freshmen, and the next year he counted 90 sophomores, a retention rate of 90 percent was assum ed. This count disregards the fact that some of the 90 were transfers and that more than 10 freshm en did not return.

Continuing, Howard claim s it is also ‘‘difficult to m easure what our attrition ra te is because we don’t know if a student is coming back or not.” Some students are counted as losses and then return to the university to be counted, statistically, as new students.

Even if an accurate ra te of attrition was attainable, Howard is ‘‘skeptical” of a follow-up study. He claim s that informal studies in the past have found ‘‘no discem able reason” . He recalls one such study occurring several years ago when it was rumored that one-half of the freshm an class would not return.

“We did a very quick survey; we took a random sam ple of the freshm an class, sixty nam es, and got an 85 percent re tu rn .” He explains that students rated their satisfaction with Lawrence on a scale of one to five and their intention to return as definite, probable, not probable, or non­existent. Results of the study, showed that retention would be higher than usual and those definitely or probably returning were the least happy. The only two not planning to return were happy w ith the u n iv e rs ity . Stressing the futility of such a

study, Howard concludes, “we could decrease our attrition ra te by recruiting m asochists.”

Howard claim s there a re also p rob lem s of co m m un ica tion when dealing with withdrawing students. Those not returning after a sum m er a re "hard to get a t” while others m ight give vague reasons for transferring.

H ow ard ex p la in s th a t the D ean’s office does try to contact those leaving during the year “because counseling is usually involved.” These students are probably going to be “ bugged” by someone questioning them and Howard says “ If we were to r ig o ro u s ly follow-up every student that left, I would be of­fended.”

Howard himself stepped-out as an undergraduate and relates, “ I don’t know why. I w asn’t angry with the institution; I was just f ru s tra te d w ith the whole process.” He notes that “a lot of people are unhappy at this tim e; it is a time of real stress for people for a variety of reasons.” He th inks th e re a re “ se lf ­adjustm ent problem s that are implicit in this age group.”

Dean of Men, Steve Hirby, agrees that such problem s of self­a d ju s tm e n t a ffec t a t tr i t io n R e fe rrin g to the in tense a c ad e m ic a tm o sp h e re of Lawrence, he believes that “a lot of people leave because they do not feel secure with themselves. People may tend to criticize themselves for not fitting into it” (the aca demic atm osphere). Also, there are those “who come without a clear curricular in­terest in mind and sort of explore and discover Lawrence is not for them .”

Both Hirby and Howard, with regard to student disatisfaction, a re more concerned with cam pus morale. Hirby says, “ there is a lot of feeling that perhaps some of the recent changes such as reduction in faculty and the closing of small houses might cause some students to transfe r.” According to him, “we are trying to stay in touch with the clim ate of opinion on the cam pus.”

Hirby adds, however, “ We do not attem pt to be all things to all people. There are probably good reasons for leaving.” The Dean’s office uses a “ two-pronged ap­proach” to deal with dissatisfied students.

DThey try to help the student m ake the choice which is best for

him or her, even if it is w ith­drawal.

2) They try to adjust those problems within their control in an a tte m p t to p rev e n t un ­necessary transferring.

Howard also places the sta te of cam pus m orale over the study of departing students. He stresses the need to m ake people happy, to give them a reason for staying. He feels there m ay be problems that can be identified and, if possib le , c o rre c te d . When correction is impossible, it is necessary that the student un­derstand why.

D ean of Men, S teve H irby issued the following description: —White Male —5’10” -6’0”—Husky—Light brown or dark blonde hair parted in the middle, wavy, long to just below the ears, dirty or greasy

No facial hair —Wearing either an olive drab arm y jacket probably with a sw eatshirt under it or a long sheepskin coat.—Wearing Musk aftershave.

The man fitting the description is sought in connection with six incidents of theft at the Kohler and Sage dormitories.

Only money or blank checks w ere sto len in each ca se ; am ounts ranged from fifteen to fifty dollars, a total of about two hundred dollars. The door of each victim ’s room was left unlocked. The thief’s mode of operation appears to be first watching & waiting for a student to leave a room unlocked before perform ing the crim e. Appleton police have been notified of these thefts.

An ind iv idual f ittin g the description was discovered in a student’s room last Sunday, but he escaped. Apparently it was the sam e man who was chased from the women’s locker room at the A lexander G ym nasium on Monday.

Students at Lawrence have also been asked to be wary of a “college aged” man, described as “ tall and skinny with reddish- blonde, unkept and stringy h a ir.” D ean of W omen, B a rb a ra

P illin g e r has no tified head residents to ask dorm residents to lock their doors as a man fitting the description may also be responsible for the rash of thefts at Lawrence.

Among other items stolen on cam pus is a viola belonging to Reed Anderson, ’79. Anderson said the string instrum ent is valued at two thousand dollars. He stated that the instrum ent was stolen while he was taking a break from practice in the Music- D ram a C en te r. He sa id the viola was insured for only twelve hundred dollars. He commented that although the police have contacted local music shops to be on the lookout for the viola, which is identifiable by its m aker’s nam e and the year it was crafted, Anderson has had to perform a substantial amount of footwork on his own in an effort to get back his musical instrum ent.

The Conservatory of Music is also missing a large Zildgian gong from the Chapel. No one seems to know when the gong was stolen, but it has not been seen since la s t N ovem ber. Con­servatory Dean. Charles Sch­wartz, was not available to com m ent on why th^ Con­servatory has apparently been “gonged” by the forces of crim e.

Another theft occured in Plantz two weeks ago. Randy March, '80, was robbed of a portable television set. Although the TV set was only worth forty dollars, Marsh reflected the sentim ent of many I^awrence victims, and those who em pathize with the duped, when he stated, “ I ’d pay fifty dollars just to get ten minutes alone with the sucker who stole my TV.”

Conkey’ s manager explains pricesby Nancy Arneson

A ccording to one s tu d e n t representative of the Lawrence Book Committee, “ it is im portant for students to know that they are not being ripped-o ff a t Conkey’s .” The Book Committee, whose m em bers include: Marwin W rolstad , v ice p re s id e n t of business a f fa ir s ; G rah am Waring, professor of religion; John Zimm erman of Conkey’s; and two student representatives, Kathy Muir and Mark Cieslewicz, discussed the problems involved in university interaction with Conkey’s.

The com mittee has helped install a new system of ordering, allowing professors to submit their book orders to Conkey’s one year in advance. This policy has helped to hold down book prices and has increased the probability of m ost books being available at the beginning of each term .

In a recent interview, Zim­m e rm an o ffered se v e ra l e x ­planations for the book sto re’s prices, which, many students complain, are too high. Ac­co rd ing to Z im m erm an , the publisher, not Conkey’s. deter­mines book prices. Because they are an educational item , text books “ are not real money­m akers,” Zimm erman said.

When a student finds a book with up to three stickers covering the original price, Zimm erman explained, he should know that the publisher, not Conkey’s, is responsible for the increased price. Similarly, when the price has been punched out of a paperback and a new price written inside, that new price is the publisher’s price. Prices are subject to change at the hand of

the publisher as often as every six months. So, when a student finds a book he or she needs for a course among the non-university stacks at a lower price than the sam e book on the Lawrence shelves, it is because the higher priced book was ordered later, and thus the publisher’s price was higher.

Another determining factor in high book prices, according to Zim m erm an, is the number of books produced. If only a limited num ber of a certain book is published, the costs will be m arkedly higher than if the book had been in g reater demand. This explains, to a large degree, the tendency for books in more ad­vanced co u rses dea ling with specific and limited topics to be m ore expensive than m ore general introductory books.

C onkey’s new book-order policy, developed by the Book Committee, involves a three-fold process. F irst, Conkey’s waits un til the facu lty jjjiA a d ­m inistration dçterTtiiine vtfwrwill be teaching wl\at in the earning

obtain used books, which are a definite bonus for those students who take advantage of them.

Because Conkey’s needs the faculty book orders at least two months in advance, books that are late in arriving are often the result of delay on the part of the faculty.

Conkey’s buy-back service is another im portant function of the book store. Zim m erm an stated, “ buy-backs a re just as im portant to us as the original sa le .” The num ber of books which Conkey’s will repurchase depends directly on the amount of information an instructor is able to provide concerning whether or not he or she will be using the sam e book again, and on whether or not the publisher will come out with a new ed ition of the book. Generally, the less change in the books used from year to year, the more books Conkey’s buys back. Unfortynatrtyv for the student there is usualW about a 60 per-

Save our studentsThroughout this year we have heard a lot of talk about

enrollment problems confronting the University. Most of the discussion has centered on the admissions program which is under going a radical change in light of the resignations of Mike Wilensky and David White, and the President’s plan to consolidate the Admissions Office and Public Relations Office.

There is another aspect of enrollment that has received very little attention. This is the attrition rate. Only 58 percent of the students who start out as freshmen graduate four years later. In this year alone, enrollment has slipped by over fifty students between terms. Why do these students leave Lawrence?

No one seems to have any accurate answers to this question. The problem stems from the void of information about students who transfer or drop out of school. The University does not systematically collect data about departing students and apparently some administrators are against the accumulation of this kind of information. They contend that accurate studies of attrition are not feasible and analysis of fragmented data on attrition has failed to yield meaningful results. Consequently, the University must qualitatively gauge “campus morale” in order to measure student dissatisfaction.

However, this results in a biased assessment of “campus morale. ” Only the views of concerned students - those who are willing to live with Lawrence - are being evaluated while the most malcontent critics of the University - students who transfer - are being ignored. Imagine a company that only asks its loyal customers to comment on a product. Obviously, many of the probelms with the product are not going to surface in this survey and very little will be learned about how to improve the product. In effect, the University may be overlooking valuable criticism in its assessment of “campus morale.”

A program that evaluates the sentiments of the students who drop out of Lawrence could be very useful in pin-pointing some of the major areas of dissatisfaction among students. For example, this week we received a letter from a student who claims she will not be back if the small houses are closed. How many other students will leave Lawrence because of the change in the housing policy? To what extent will the costs saved by closing the small houses be off-set by loss of revenue sustained by an increased rate of attrition? Without some kind of procedure to systematically study attrition every year, Lawrence will be unable to tackle these kind of questions.

Accurate studies of attrition are possible. For the past three years, Coe College has extensively studied their attrition rate. A process has been developed in which every student who wants to drop out of school must fill out a “green exit card” and is interviewed by a member of the Student Services staff. These studies have pointed out some general trends in attrition at Coe and have uncovered a number of ways Coe can “im­prove the living and academic environment so that students will have a reason to stay.”

Improving the retention rate is clearly one way the University can solve its enrollment problems. To do this, we must find out why students leave Lawrence before they receive their degree. Lawrence must begin to effectively evaluate itself. Given the declining eighteen year population, this sounds like a solution worth looking into.

Housing factorTo the Editor:

In reference to the article concerning the closing of the small houses, the Sig Ep house and the elimination of the off campus alternative, I would like to say that Mr. Haynes was definitely right when he said that narrowing the already narrow (a small house is the only easily accessible alternative) housing alternatives make the school less desirable. His “hunch” about possibly losing upperclassmen should be ex tended to un­derclassmen as well, for neither age nor “class” have much bearing on a student’s decision to attend Lawrence, and put up with the housing situation; or look for a different school with “livable” housing alternatives. In fact, Seniors-to-be m ay be m ore willing to “put up with it” for one more year, than sophomores-to be, who have three years left.

Mr. Haynes, in dealing with students day in and day out concerning housing m atters, has a much better idea of how the students feel now than Dean Lauter, who makes reference to a 1970 rep o rt on w hich the re s id e n tia l “ ph ilosophy” was based. This is 1977. I would venture to say that the students who participated in that report a re long gone, and would like to add that things do change over the years. For instance, an ever increasing number of students entering college a re not directly out of high-school. This trend increased m arkedly with the end of the draft. The experience of “ a p a r tm e n t sh o p p in g ” alone gives a student a different per­spective when viewing a school’s housing a lte rn a tiv e s . T hat, coupled with the experience of m ak ing your own home som ew here, even if i t ’s as humble as your tent - wherever you happen to be can make the prospect of living in a dorm for four years repulsive. The dif­ference between your bedroom at home and your apartm ent can be great indeed.

At that point a school’s housing alternatives can become very important, especially for those who all but lose their peace of mind and sense of identity to five stereos playing on all sides of them, and people tramping past their door at all hours, day or night. I am one of those.

The point is, Lawrence’s “high quality” of education may be an un touchab le en tity if living conditions provided do not afford som e the peace of m ind necessary to take advantage of it. If the housing alternatives are restricted as planned next year, I will not be here. For Dean L a u te r ’s sake, the housing restriction will be the major factor for my attrition.

Posters defacedLetter to the Editor and the Lawrence University Community

This week a second series of Women’s Week posters have ap p e ared on cam pus. These posters are the result of much thought, time and effort on the part of the Public Relations office and certain Lawrence women. We know that there are those in our midst who do not understand or appreciate the meaning or purpose of Women’s Week.

Rather than engaging in the senseless destruction of these posters as a means of expressing disagreem ent, we wish these people would come forward and d irec t them se lves to the Lawrence community. For those who m ere ly enjoy defacing others’ property, we would ap­preciate it if you would stop. We have a budget and cannot afford to continuously replace posters d estroyed by in conside ra te people.

If somebody has a viewpoint

about Women’s Week or the W om en’s M ovem ent on the L aw rence U niversity cam p u s which they wish to express, then be honest and above-board about it. The Lawrentian offers a perfec t opportun ity to the Lawrence community to present an opinion or argum ent. Take advantage of it. It is an insult to yourself and to others in the community to attack Women’s Week in this manner.

Thank you, —PATTI RIES

LAURA STORMS LINDA PRIDE

Sincerest regardsAn open letter to the tenure committee:

I recently received word that you have chosen to grant tenure to Professors Cory Azzi and William Perreault. 1 was thrilled to hear of the decision and offer my congratulations.

Professors Azzi and P erreau lt were among the best instructors I’ve ever had. In addition to their well p rep a red , en th u s ia s tic lectures they showed an ad­d itional q u a lity : they re a lly cared about the student. That concern w as co n sisten tly evidenced by their willingness to talk to and work with students about academic and personal problems. Their concern was an important part of my Lawrence experience for it helped me to grow academ ically and p e r ­sonally.

I hope other students have the pleasure to learn and be in­fluenced by these two dynamic professors now that you have insured that they will have the chance for years to come. Thanks for making that possible.

Sincerely,

—ROB GILLIO ’76

Failure to communicateTo The Editor:

Wednesday night, m em bers of Downer Feminist Council were invited to meet with President Smith to discuss the statem ent which ap p e a red in the Lawrentian on Jan. 28. At the outset, we requested that Smith allow us to tape the meeting for the sake of accuracy. He refused, saying that this would create an atmosphere of distrust. When asked for the written response which was requested of the ad­ministration by LUCC on Feb. 23, Smith said that he had no plans to issue such a response and said that he would delegate that responsibility to the appropriate adm inistrators.

Since Smith seemed to have no intention of publicly responding to our statem ent in any m anner, we saw no further purpose for the meeting and ended it abruptly.

Although the Downer Feminist Council statem ent was not sent to President Smith personally as he would have preferred, we feel it is his duty, as President of this university, to take immediate and effective action regarding this statement. Furtherm ore, in failing to provide a written response, Smith’s adm inistration is in contempt of the LUCC resolution.

M ural stolen (c o n t’ d)To the Editor:

Well, you asked for it. You really brought it upon yourselves. Don’t come running to us for sympathy. You refused to accede to our demands. Yes, th a t’s right It’s us again, the m ural thieves

President Smith did all he could. He gave us our 25,000 A’s, and our gradepoints have shot up nicely (don’t tell the Registrar). In fact, we have enough A’s left over to treat everyone on campus

to a steady diet of four-point ohs (wouldn’t that beat Down­er food)?

“Sm itty” also did all he could to bring back the trees, halt the busing, and keep his curtains draw n (at least whilst dressing) Our beloved President even told an informed source (or perhaps an uninformed source borrowed from The Lawrentian’s files) that he would repaint Kohler’s doors pink if it m eant the return of the beauteous Viking Room mural. So don’t blam e our Great White Chief.

You, you, and you—yes, especially you there slinking over to Science Hell to work on a lab. I t’s your fault. Everyone on the cam pus is still working too hard. There has been no increase in attendance at the Viking Room (in fact, it is rumored that there a re still some who don’t even know where that mecca is). There has been no decrease in attendance a t the Seeley Gay Mud Liberry.

So we are forced to do the worst thing imaginable. Idi Amin would be appalled if he heard of our plans. Jack the Ripper would break into a cold sweat upon hearing of our scheme for The Mural.

But, you asked for it. WE’RE GOING TO RETURN IT. Steady, steady. Yes, fans of the virgin white wall, it will soon be darkened again by those shadowy figures, those dreary grays and greens which have recently only appeared in your nightmares.

So suffer, Lawrentians. And w hile y o u ’re bem oaning your fate, consider how things could have been, indeed, should have been, if you had only been a little less studious.

Signed—JACK

P.S. It is rumored that to celebrate the return of the mural P resident Smith will sponsor a free beer night in the very near future. Be advised to bring your own cup, as Bob “Tightwad’ Graveen will reportedly charge 25c for a cup in which to hold your “ free” beer.

T h e glass bead spoofTo the Editor:

As you probably already know, the le tter signed by Joseph Knecht in last week’s issue was a spoof. Knecht is the central charac ter in Hermann Hesse’s M agister Ludi; or The Glass Bead Gam e (excellent book). Castalia is an im aginary country, though the letter-w riter wittily notes that the setting is similar to a university.

In th e book, K necht left Castalia when he sensed its impending decay: it ignored the outside world, and shunned the lessons of history. Knecht died on a beautiful morning when he followed the example of an athletic boy he was tutoring and plunged into icy w aters at dawn.

A n u n a ffirm a tive V ic e -P re s id e n tTo the Editor:

Last F riday (Feb. 25) David Harned, a candidate for Vice President and Chief Affirmative Action Officer, stated, “ An in­stitution such as Lawrence has an obligation not to recruit Black professors.” (em phasis added) Why is the University seriously co n sid erin g a ca n d id a te so b la ta n tly a g a in s t a ff irm a tiv e action? How could Mr. Harned possibly be thought qualified for implementing P resident Sm ith’s Affirmative Action P lan, which is “ d es igned to c o r re c t u n ­derutilization o f . . . m inorities in faculty positions” ?

P e rh a p s , how ever, th e a d ­m in is tra tio n believes th a t Harned has good reasons for being against affirm ative action. On Friday he mentioned two reasons. His principal one was that, in using affirm ative action white colleges would further deplete the already diminished supply of black professors. These professors, he insists, a re most needed a t black colleges, not at white institutions like Lawrence. H arned’s second reason was that it would be unfair for Lawrence to bring black professors to such an unsupportive environment.

In both these reasons, Harned fails to realize that Lawrence would not be forcing any black professors to teach here. If a black professor felt he was more valuable elsewhere, or that the Appleton community was too u nsu p p o rtiv e , he w ould, of co u rse , be f re e to re fu se Law rence’s offer. In recruiting b lack p ro fe sso rs the a d ­m inistration would only be trying to find those qualified blacks who would not feel too uncomfortable in Appleton and who would feel they have something valuable to contribute to Lawrence.

Harned also fails to realize that Lawrence does have a black community. If students at black colleges need black professors, then , follow ing H a rn e d ’s reasoning, the black students at Lawrence need them at least as much. In addition, if Lawrence does recru it and hire black professors, m ore black students would be willing to enroll and the cam p u s en v iro n m en t w ould become generally more sup­portive.

P erhaps the adm inistration did not know H arned’s stance on affirm ative action when they decided to invite him for an in­terview. If so, why had they not found out beforehand? If the University takes its affirm ative action plan seriously, the ad­m inistration would surely w ant to know a candidate’s views on the plan before seriously thinking of hiring him for the position in charge of implementing it.

I c e r ta in ly hope the a d ­m inistration does not agree with H a rn e d ’s reaso n in g . But regardless of whether they agree, the fact that the adm inistration is seriously considering Harned for the position of Vice President and Chief Affirmative Action Officer is enough to call into question L aw ren c e ’s co m m itm en t to affirm ative action.

Dean reviewby Mike Calabrese

After receiving the report of the Dean’s Review Committee, President Smith discussed its reco m m en d a tio n s w ith each Dean. In the near future he will m eet w ith D eans L au te r , Pillinger, and Hirby for further discussion.

Smith claim s the result will be, “at minimum a reorganization of each office’s responsibilities and at most the replacem ent of one or more of the D eans.”

R e g a rd le ss of the re c o m ­mendations m ade in the Com­m ittee’s report, Dean Pillinger may be gone next year. Ac­cording to Smith, she is a can­didate for positions elsewhere.

As of yet, no definite decisions have been m ade concerning the re s tru c tu r in g or ch an g e of personnel in the Dean’s office. Nevertheless Smith insists that, “ it is my plan that before the end of the academ ic year there will be changes that are called for.”

A rtistic D irector Sonja Long has d e m o n s tra te d the powers of Zeus by successfully undertaking such a grand scale operation.

W ednesday’s perform ance was only sparsely attended. It is a s su m ed , how ever, th a t the theatre will be filled during the w eekend p e rfo rm a n c e s . The program began slowly; but as it continued the dancers warmed up, lost their early nervousness and the acts improved.

Although all the num bers were well perform ed, a few surpassed the others in originality and ex ecu tion . An ex a m p le was “ Prelude to Sum m er D ream s” , choreographed by Beth Trom­peter. This dance subtly tuned the senses to the rhythm ed beat of George G ershw in’s blues until one could alm ost feel a balmy b reeze w aftin g th rough the a u d ito riu m . The d an cers achieved that pinnacle of per­fection all perform ers strive for bu t ra re ly re a c h —to ta l v e r i­similitude.

A nother e x c e llen t re p re se n ­tation of the com pany’s work was “ W hat’s Going On” . This piece, ch o re o g ra p h ed by P au l Van Steelant, was accomplished with a fluidity of m ovem ent that can only be described as incredible.

E m m ett M orris also deserves c re d it for som e poignantly touching m om ents, found in his creation, “ T extures” . Elizabeth and Mary Ellen Childs have pulled a cutie by choreographing and perform ing a dance about sisters. Surprisingly, it is one of the best ac ts in the program , for the idea is just a hair sappy.

M argaret Huggins gets the gold s ta r for d ram atic effect. Making use of loud, crashing music, a huge, ominous bird-m an moving in shadows upstage, and a white- gowned m aiden dashing about in an agitated m anner, one begins to wonder when lightning will hearken from above to split the curtains asunder. Although the num ber cam e on a bit strong, the au d ien ce w as tran sfix e d . In general the num ber was well done and the im p a c t was powerful.

All in all, “The Dance” is a show no L aw ren tian should willingly pass up. It will run both tonight and tomorrow night and even though m any students may not recognize the artistic value of dance on a weekend, they surely will recognize this program to be an excellent pitstop en route to C leo’s. To the L a w ren ce University Dance Company, * g ran t I never saw a goddess go , but “The D ance” , personified, com es close.

David Bowie: “ Low”Reviews of David Bowie’s new

album, ‘Low’, often refer to the work as Avant-garde. A genuine understanding of Bowie, con­temporary music in the broad sense and his place in that spectrum, in fact belie any radicality the record might be thought to proffer. That is not to make an absolute pronoun­cement on the opus as, within the limitations Bowie has heretofore demonstrated, it is successful, and I very much enjoy hearing it.

But what the hell is going on? Frequent mention is made of his ehameleon-nature—his ‘protean’ qualities. Given his patent in­tentions, a good deal of the awe that might be commanded by this versatility also tends to fall by the wayside. It must nonetheless be emphasized that within the pop-rock tradition, Bowie—to me u n q u e s t io n a b ly —h o ld s a preeminent place. This is in deference to the relative quality and interest of his work, his broad and persuasive influence, the distinctiveness of his in­tellect, and the extraordinary amount of imaginative detail born of his whims.

In any discussion of his in­tentions or am bitions, first mention must be made of his avowed craving for ‘absolute’ stardom. At the most basic level this derives from what appears to be an exhibitionist urge, and appears most vividly in his look- at-me poses in photographs from the Ziggy Stardust days—the time of his high glitter avatar. This quest for superfame has taken him from the space-rock days of ‘Space Oddity’ and ‘Ziggy Stardust’, through the time of the rock n’ roll glitter-god of ‘Ziggy’, Aladdin Sane’, ‘Pin-ups’, and Diamond Dogs’, then through the disco-crooner phase of Young Americans’ and ‘Station-

to-Station’. Now he’s abstracting himself somewhat and trying to come on as a modern visionary. This latter phase, in part ushered in by his role in the film, ‘The Man who Fell to Earth’, is one for which he has an especial facility. He has often exhibited a fashion for futurisms. But it remains, in large part, this desire for at­tention and legendary status that binds these severa l strands together. Perhaps he’s trying to earn the recognition he seeks, perhaps it’s all ploy—likely it’s a combination of the two.

About one year ago he ap­peared in a ‘Rolling Stone’ in­terview. In it he said that to him music was a tool for his self­construction, and not an essential entity in its own right. In referring to ‘Young Americans’, which turned him into the disco- crooner, he said it was the first album he enjoyed making since Hunky Dory’. In the same breath

he said that the albums made in |he interim had been nonetheless successful’, in that they served

his broader purpose. Need his penchant for access to the world as a whole be given less equivocal slatement?

The albums up through ‘Hunky Dory’ comprised his introduction

|he record-buying and at­tention-yielding public. In the ‘irst true phase he was laying claim to a large segment of the confirmed rockers in the English- speaking world. Next he entered the disco-soul market and arena. rhe timeliness and effectiveness of that venture are attested to by , ‘,s several hit singles, expecially r ame’, but even more vividly by his subsequently being the first white boy to break the color- barrier and mount the Soul Train stage.

And now, clearly, he’s out to 'mpress and win over the devotees of ‘Art-rock’ (another Holling Stone’-coined rubric).

His presence in a marginally irT>portant film also commands respect as another instance where he’s gotten what he’s wanted and sought.

K E V Ityim ltV ltV IIn his intention to follow, and no

doubt better, a Sinatra-type superstar model, he considered entry into films to be an im­portant step. Yet what really sets him apart here is that his central cinematic interest, he claims is directing. Perhaps after all ’he wants more than simply to be looked at.

Need I add that one of his least deniable talents consists of his physical presence? His face, figure, and ability to manipulate his appearence border on the incredible.)

And what about ‘Low’? Some background. Eno (Brian being his rarely used first name) is, according to ‘Rolling Stone’, the locus of the British art-rock output of the last five years. He first ‘came to be’ along with the group ‘Rozy Music’, headed by one Bryan Ferry (who used to live above Tony, the Arden’s night porter). Conflict between these two prime-movers caused Eno to leave for an independent life of fairly broad range. He has worked with John Cale, Nico (both of Velvet Underground extraction), Kevin Ayers, Robert Fripp (late of King Crimson) and others. He has also contributed scores to at least two recent British films (one of them being entirely in Latin). Word has it that h e’s now in seclusion southeast of London, writing music. He is generally credited for, and primarily plays syn­thesizers and tapes, but he’s also picked up some acoustic part- skills as a useful adjunct. He is the parent of several solo albums, the two most notable being ‘Taking Tiger Mountain (By Stragegy)’ and ‘Another Green World’. These two records are notable for different reasons, but both are excellent.

Eno’s fundamental influence infects ‘Low’. It’s almost as

though Bowie has engaged him in Vulcan mind-fuse and then put out an album. There is, inevitably, much of B ow ie’s personality present, especially at the times when the rhythms and voice stylizations are coy and sexy. And what I like of the album is as much derived from Bowie as it is from Eno.

The two sides of the album differ greatly—the in­strumentation and songs on side one stick rather close to the rock background. Side two, on the other hand, tends to rely on washes of sound, broken up by syllabic vocalization by Bowie. Track three here must be ex­cepted, as it is quite rhythmic, and it aims to mesmerize.

The rocky numbers push only marginally, to my ears, at the boundaries of the genre. Think back to some of the heavy electric im provisations by Hendrix, and this stuff seems pretty tame. Side two sounds a little more foreign and celestial, but when it is heard for the nth time, the straightforward tonal approach keys you to how safe the music really is. Even when some atonal frosting is smeared over the tonal cake, the sense of tonality is never close to lost. The melodic ideas, if they can be so- called, tend to be repetitive and very rudimentary. The sense of newness, to the extent it is present, resu lts from som e imaginative sound-details Bowie has painted over the surface of the music, from his vocal ap­proach, and to a much lesser degree from the rather punchy rhythms which bind together the songs on side one. Also, without going into further detail, any passing familiarity with elec­tronic, instrumental or other m usic from the com posed- notated comtemporary tradition, which in its own context is Avant-

garde, demonstrates utterly how safe ‘Low’ really is.

Yet, in the final analysis, I like ‘Low’ just fine as a thing-in-itself. In trying to put it-and-him in a broader perspective I have no doubt obscured the sim ple question of whether the album is worth the purchase price. The answer to that is an enthusiastic ‘yes’. Though not even as chance- taking an album as any of several involving Eno, it is a good and interesting record. It will likely be influential in the near future. But to consider it Avant-garde, weird, or baffling is to allow Bowie to do his number on you. I love Bowie too, but let’s leave him in the place he’s so neatly carved for himself.

Springsteen concertAlthough Bruce Springsteen

may or may not deserve the title of “King of Rock and Roll” , he certain ly lived up to his reputation as one of the best live performers in Rock and Roll last Sunday night.

Playing in the Dane County Coliseum in Madison, Springsteen and the E Street Band delivered two and one half uninterrupted hours of explosive rock music.

Yes, dear readers, super­stardom has not spoiled Brucie yet. He still creeps out into the audience during his rendition of “Spirit in the Night” and he still achieves an intimacy with his audience by keeping the audience size down. At Madison, the 8,000 seat coliseum was partitioned in half to insure the audience of good accoustics.

Brucie and the E Streeters opened with a driving rendition of

“Night” , breezed into “Spirit in the Night” and a new song en­titled “Rendezvous” without a break. After catching his breath, Brucie delivered a monologue which revealed a glimpse of his youth in New Jersey . The monologue preceded an emphatic version of the Animals’ classic, “Its My Life” .

Among the many highlights of the show was an extended treatm ent of ‘‘B ack streets” , which included a nice gritty saxophone solo by band member Clarence Clemons.

The show was not, however, without its faults. Although the perform ance itse lf was exhilarating, his choice of material was disappointing. Most of his material was from his third album. He failed to include many of his old classics like, “Kitty’s Back,” and ‘‘Blinded by the Light” . He also included only one new song, choosing instead to do a number of old fifties classics like ‘‘Mone” and ‘‘Saxophone Man” . As a result the program lacked variety. Springsteen would have done well to include som e of his softer acoustic numbers as well as his classics. Despite these drawbacks and guitarist Miami Steve Van Zandt’s general lack of in­spiration, Springsteen’s band as a whole provided the audience with a spectacular musical and visual performance.

W ednesday’s perform ance was only sparsely attended. It is a s su m ed , how ever, th a t the theatre will be filled during the w eekend p e rfo rm a n c e s . The program began slowly; but as it continued the dancers warmed up, lost their early nervousness

• and the acts improved.Although all the num bers were

■ " well perform ed, a few surpassed the others in originality and ex ecu tio n . An ex am p le was “ Prelude to Sum m er D ream s” , choreographed by Beth Trom­peter. This dance subtly tuned the senses to the rhythm ed beat of George G ershw in’s blues until one could alm ost feel a balmy b ree ze w aftin g th rough the a u d ito r iu m . T he dancers achieved that pinnacle of per­fection all perform ers strive for bu t r a re ly r e a c h —to ta l v e ri­similitude.

A nother e x c e lle n t re p re se n ­tation of the com pany’s work was “W hat’s Going On” . This piece, ch o re o g ra p h ed by P au l Van Steelant, was accom plished with a fluidity of m ovem ent that can only be described as incredible.

Em m ett M orris also deserves c re d it fo r som e poignantly touching m om ents, found in his creation, “ T extures” . Elizabeth and M ary Ellen Childs have pulled a cutie by choreographing and perform ing a dance about sisters. Surprisingly, it is one of the best ac ts in the program , for the idea is just a hair sappy.

M argaret Huggins gets the gold s ta r for d ram atic effect. Making use of loud, crashing music, a huge, ominous bird-m an moving in shadows upstage, and a white- gowned m aiden dashing about in an agitated m anner, one begins to wonder when lightning will hearken from above to split the curtains asunder. Although the num ber cam e on a bit strong, the au d ien c e w as tran sfix e d . In general the num ber was well done and th e im p a c t was powerful.

All in all, “The Dance” is a show no L aw ren tian should willingly pass up. It will run both tonight and tomorrow night and even though m any students may not recognize the artistic value of dance on a weekend, they surely will recognize this program to be an excellent pitstop en route to C leo’s.

««« R t V I t f l r n f t t V i mReviews of David Bowie’s new

album, ‘Low’, often refer to the work as Avant-garde. A genuine understanding of Bowie, con­temporary music in the broad sense and his place in that spectrum, in fact belie any radicality the record might be thought to proffer. That is not to m ake an ab so lu te p ronoun­cement on the opus as, within the limitations Bowie has heretofore dem onstrated, it is successful, and I very much enjoy hearing it.

But what the hell is going on? Frequent mention is m ade of his chameleon-nature—his ‘protean’ qualities. Given his patent in­tentions, a good deal of the awe that might be com m anded by this versatility also tends to fall by the wayside. It m ust nonetheless be emphasized that within the pop-rock tradition, Bowie—to me u n q u e s t io n a b ly — h o ld s a preeminent place. This is in deference to the rela tive quality and interest of his work, his broad and persuasive influence, the distinctiveness of his in­tellect, and the extraordinary amount of im aginative detail born of his whims.

In any discussion of his in­tentions or a m b itio n s , f irs t mention m ust be m ade of his avowed craving for ‘absolute’ stardom. At the m ost basic level this derives from what appears to be an exhibitionist urge, and appears most vividly in his look- at-me poses in photographs from the Ziggy S tardust days—the time of his high g litter avatar. This quest for superfam e has taken him from the space-rock days of ‘Space Oddity’ and ‘Ziggy Stardust’, through the tim e of the rock n’ roll glitter-god of ‘Ziggy’, Aladdin Sane’, ‘P in-ups’, and Diamond Dogs’, then through

the d isco -c ro o n er p h ase of Young A m ericans’ and ‘Station-

to-Station’. Now h e’s abstracting himself somewhat and trying to come on as a m odern visionary. This latter phase, in part ushered in by his role in the film, ‘The Man who Fell to E a r th ’, is one for which he has an especial facility. He has often exhibited a fashion for futurisms. But it rem ains, in large part, this desire for a t­tention and legendary sta tus that binds th ese s e v e ra l s tra n d s together. P erhaps he’s trying to earn the recognition he seeks, perhaps it’s all ploy—likely i t’s a combination of the two.

About one year ago he ap ­peared in a ‘Rolling Stone’ in­terview. In it he said that to him music was a tool for his self­construction, and not an essential entity in its own right. In referring to ‘Young A m ericans’, which turned him into the disco- crooner, he said it w as the first album he enjoyed m aking since Hunky D ory’. In the sam e breath

he said that the album s m ade in the interim had been nonetheless successful’, in that they served

his broader purpose. Need his penchant for access to the world as a whole be given less equivocal statement?

The albums up through ‘Hunky Dory’ comprised his introduction to the record-buying and a t­tention-yielding public. In the first true phase he was laying claim to a large segm ent of the confirmed rockers in the English- speaking world. Next he entered Jhe disco-soul m arke t and arena.• he timeliness and effectiveness of that venture a re attested to by

's several hit singles, expecially r am e', but even m ore vividly by his subsequently being the first white boy to break the color- harrier and mount the Soul Train stage.

And now, clearly , he’s out to im press and win o v er the devotees of ‘A rt-rock’ (another ■tolling Stone’-coined rubric),

"is presence in a m arginally important film also com m ands respect as a n o th e r in s tan c e where he’s gotten w hat he’s wanted and sought.

i c v i mDavid Bowie: “ Low”

garde, dem onstrates utterly how safe ‘Low’ really is.

Yet, in the final analysis, I like ‘Low’ just fine as a thing-in-itself. In trying to put it-and-him in a broader perspective I have no doubt o b scu red the sim ple question of whether the album is worth the purchase price. The answer to that is an enthusiastic ‘yes’. Though not even as chance- taking an album as any of several involving Eno, it is a good and interesting record. It will likely be influential in the near future. But to consider it Avant-garde, weird, or baffling is to allow Bowie to do his num ber on you. I love Bowie too, but le t’s leave him in the place he’s so neatly carved for himself.

Springsteen concertAlthough Bruce Springsteen

m ay or may not deserve the title of “ King of Rock and Roll” , he c e r ta in ly lived up to his reputation as one of the best live perform ers in Rock and Roll last Sunday night.

P laying in the Dane County C oliseum in M adison, Springsteen and the E Street Band delivered two and one half uninterrupted hours of explosive rock music.

Y es, d e a r re a d e rs , su p e r ­stardom has not spoiled Brucie yet. He still creeps out into the audience during his rendition of “Spirit in the Night” and he still achieves an intimacy with his audience by keeping the audience size down. At Madison, the 8,000 seat coliseum was partitioned in half to insure the audience of good accoustics.

Brucie and the E S treeters opened with a driving rendition of

“ Night” , breezed into “Spirit in the Night” and a new song en­titled “ Rendezvous” without a break. After catching his breath, Brucie delivered a monologue which revealed a glimpse of his youth in New Je rse y . The monologue preceded an em phatic version of the Animals’ classic, “ Its My Life” .

Among the many highlights of the show w as an ex ten d ed tre a tm e n t of “ B a c k s tre e ts ” , w hich inc luded a n ice g ritty saxophone solo by band m em ber Clarence Clemons.

The show was not, however, without its faults. Although the p e rfo rm an ce itse lf w as e x h ila ra t in g , his choice of m aterial was disappointing. Most of his m aterial was from his third album. He failed to include many of his old classics like, “ K itty’s Back,” and “ Blinded by the Light” . He also included only one new song, choosing instead to do a num ber of old fifties classics like “ Mone” and “Saxophone Man” . As a result the program lacked v a r ie ty . S p rin g steen would have done well to include som e of his so fte r aco u stic num bers as well as his classics. Despite these draw backs and g u ita r is t M iam i S teve Van Z a n d t’s g en e ra l lack of in ­spiration, Springsteen’s band as a whole provided the audience with a spectacular musical and visual perform ance.

In his intention to follow, and no doubt b e tte r , a S inatra -type superstar model, he considered entry into films to be an im­portant step. Yet what really sets him apart here is that his central cinematic interest, he claims is directing. Perhaps after a l l ’he wants more than simply to be looked at.

Need I add that one of his least deniable talents consists of his physical presence? His face, figure, and ability to manipulate his appearence border on the incredible.)

And what about ‘Low’? Some background. Eno (Brian being his rarely used first name) is, according to ‘Rolling Stone’, the locus of the British art-rock output of the last five years. He first ‘cam e to be’ along with the group ‘Rozy Music’, headed by one Bryan Ferry (who used to live above Tony, the Arden’s night porter). Conflict between these two prime-movers caused Eno to leave for an independent life of fairly broad range. He has worked with John Cale, Nico (both of Velvet Underground extraction), Kevin Ayers, Robert Fripp (late of King Crimson) and others. He has also contributed scores to at least two recent British films (one of them being entirely in Latin). Word has it that h e ’s now in seclusion southeast of London, writing music. He is generally credited for, and prim arily plays syn­thesizers and tapes, but he’s also picked up some acoustic part- skills as a useful adjunct. He is the parent of several solo albums, the two most notable being ‘Taking T iger M ountain (By S tragegy)’ and ‘Another Green World’. These two records are notable for different reasons, but both are excellent.

Eno’s fundamental influence infects ‘Low’. I t ’s alm ost as

though Bowie has engaged him in Vulcan mind-fuse and then put out an album . T here is, inev itab ly , m uch of B ow ie’s personality present, especially at the times when the rhythms and voice stylizations are coy and sexy. And what I like of the album is as much derived from Bowie as it is from Eno.

The two sides of the album d iffe r g re a tly —the in ­strumentation and songs on side one stick rather close to the rock background. Side two, on the other hand, tends to rely on washes of sound, broken up by syllabic vocalization by Bowie. Track three here must be ex­cepted, as it is quite rhythmic, and it aim s to mesmerize.

The rocky num bers push only m arginally, to my ears, at the boundaries of the genre. Think back to some of the heavy e lec tric im p ro v isa tio n s by Hendrix, and this stuff seems pretty tame. Side two sounds a little more foreign and celestial, but when it is heard for the nth time, the straightforw ard tonal approach keys you to how safe the music really is. Even when some atonal frosting is sm eared over the tonal cake, the sense of tonality is never close to lost. The melodic ideas, if they can be so- called, tend to be repetitive and very rudim entary. The sense of newness, to the extent it is p re se n t, re su lts from som e im aginative sound-details Bowie has painted over the surface of the music, from his vocal ap ­proach, and to a much lesser degree from the ra the r punchy rhythm s which bind together the songs on side one. Also, without going into further detail, any passing fam iliarity with elec­tronic, instrum ental or other m usic from the com posed- notated com tem porary tradition, which in its own context is Avant-

Grapplers gain third; Send two to Nationals

Swords comeT he L aw ren ce U n iv ersity

F en cin g M eet for co llege students will be held in the Alexander gym from 10 am to 3 pm on Sunday, M arch 6. This event, open to LU students, will c lose the L aw ren ce fenc ing season. This may come as a surprise to those of you who didn’t know that the season had started.

Although the LU team doesn’t have the ta le n ts of Holden Caulfield, they have been able to get to their tournam ents on time. F reshm en M arty Gehring and Beth Jenkins have dem onstrated a quick comprehension of the age old sport and have won a few bouts. R e tu rn in g to defend L aw re n c e ’s honor a re B rian Duvall, Scott Farnsw orth, Carol Rees and Cathy Ryherd. These fine com petitors have supported the team in endless victories and generously helped each other on and off the strip.

The team professes to be quite prepared and psyched - up for the tournam ent. Cathy Ryherd ’79, com m ented, “ I intend to settle the score with those girls who beat m e earlier this season.” Carol Rees, ’79, this y ea r’s high scorer, explained, “ I ’ve got to win this tournam ent or Ms. Heinecke m ay m ake m e come to practice .”

Perhaps, the m ost determ ined m em ber of the team is Scott F a rn sw o rth , ’79, who has arranged a charge of C uster’s Sixth Cavalry if he does not win. “ I w ant you to know that no poordumb b ----- ever won a fencingto u rn a m e n t by dy ing fo r h is country.” Farnsw orth continued, “ He won by m aking some otherpoor dum b b----- die for his.”Farnsw orth also m ade some o th e r co m m en ts , bu t you ’ve probably already seen the movie.

M ary H einecke , a s s is ta n t professor of physical education, is pleased with this y ea r’s team and their results. She was quick to add that the freshm en have been a ‘‘real boon to the team .”

by Mark RosenLast weekend, the underdog

grapplers of Lawrence surprised the oddsm akers by finishing third at the nine team Midwest Con­ference Wrestling Meet. Coach Agness stated before the action started that the other coaches had picked Lawrence to finish in the middle of the pack. LU tallied its points with a first, (Tom Hughes), two thirds (Tom Meyer and Greg Linnemanstons), and a fourth (Ralph Harrison).

C o-capta in Tom M eyer wrestled well, as expected, at 134 pounds. A consistent perform er throughout the season, “Groton- junior” again showed his prowess on the m at. His first and only defeat of the tournam ent cam e in the semi-finals, where he ran into the top-seed , and ev en tu a l champion, John Struve of Coe. He proved tough in the w restlebacks. though. In the consolation finals he beat Grinnell’s third-seed Gordon Stacey in a close m atch, 5-4. M eyer w ill w re s tle in Nationals this week.

142 pounder, Ralph Harrison was disappointed in his fourth place showing. In consolation finals, Ralph lost 5-4 to a Carletonite that he had beaten in the opening round, 4-1. In the m atch, Harrison was losing 5-4 when he shot a takedown with 20 seconds left; he appeared to get it. The ref. however, didn’t agree and called him out-of-bounds. Time ran out on Harrison and he

had to settle for a fourth place.Tom Hughes’, ’77, dominance

of the 177-pound weight class was apparent from the first victory. Law rence’s top-seed pinned his f irs t opponen t, a d esp ised Riponite, in a quick 1:56. His semi-final m atch was a little to u g h er, bu t not m uch. He mauled a Monmouth w restler 9-2. “P ickle” dom inated the finals by more than the score can tell. His 5-4 victory over Cornell’s Foote was highlighted by a 5 point F irem an’s Carry that would have brought tears to his m other’s eyes. Hughes’ heroics also gained him a berth in the Nationals.

Greg Linnem anstons proved the surprise of the tourney. U nseeded and u n h ea rld ed , Linnemanstons lost a first round heartb reaker to a Carletonite. With the score tied 2-2 in the second period, the heavyweight was caught on a roll, and put on h is back . He rebounded , how ever, and d o m in a ted a C ornellian and “ F a t-A lb e r t” from Grinnell in w restlebacks. In the consolation finals he received a d e fa u lt from the sa m e Carletonite and was aw arded Third Place.

Coe won th e to u rn am en t convincingly with 117 points and seven tit le s . C ornell took a d istant second with 81 points and two titles. Law rence’s third place was distant, 28Vfe points and one first place.

Women cagers close but no cigarby R.C. Monday &

Robin JohnsonIn the last two weeks, the

Women’s Basketball team has played four gam es and won three of them. The one loss was against St. Norbert’s, 46-33. It was the Vikes’ second loss against the Knights and their fourth in theconference, knocking them out of the play-offs for this year.

Both team s played well defen­sively (L aw ren ce fo rced 47 tu rnovers) an d St. N o rb e r t’s, playing extrem ely tight, was a problem fo r L aw ren ce . T en minutes into the gam e the score was 11-2, M arian Magee owning Lawrence’s sole basket. Toward the end of the half the gam e picked up with Amy Bell, Vickie Corbeil (high scorer with 15), Sheba Quirk, and Irene Ang all adding to the Viking score. Lawrence was beginning to break St. Norbert’s defense but many shots were off the m ark and lay­ups were being missed. At half the score was 20-15 in St. Nor­bert’s favor.

St. N orbert’s s ta rted off the second half with a few quick shots and fast lay-ups. Renee Ingrassia (13 points) was especially im ­pressive for the opposition. The Vikings fell quickly to a 28-17 deficit. They struggled hard and with some tough spirit showed by Mary Reed, D ert K reher, Magee and Corbeil, the Vikes got the score back to 34-27 with 7 m inutes left to play. However they just couldn’t keep things together and the Vikes suffered the defeat.

When asked to com m ent Coach Callus stated that “ the team ’s goal now is to take the rem aining four games one a t a tim e and to win them all, ending up with an U-4 record. Ripon and St. Nor­bert’s have been the only two teams to beat us this year. They are both experienced team s while we are still very young.”

Against Lakeland the Vikes took a step in the right direction. Everyone got in the gam e and all played extrem ely well. The final score w as an im p re ss iv e Lawrence 62, Lakeland 23.

The Vikes got off to a quick lead. Vickie Corbeil was un­stoppable. She w as sco rin g repeatedly on offensive rebounds. She ended up with an incredible 28 points in the gam e— a new gam e sc o rin g reco rd •or the women’s team . Along with Corbeil there was Amy Bell who racked up 8 points and had 8 rebounds.

Quirk cam e in with six, Julie Ltyer and Liz Aldrich had 3 apiece and Robin Johnson, Betsi Timm, Amy Jo Caldwell and Irene Ang

d a bucket each. The Vikes infamous full court press was giving the guards m any steals 'Quirk and Magee had 5 each) and fast break points. The second f r.ln8 Played the end of the first an and kept up both offensive

and defensive toughness.In the second half (with a 36-10

<‘ad) the Vikes did not quit. Irene ,lfn£ <a. junior guard) played most

be half and she did a g reat job and caused Lakeland a lot of rouble. Sue G iersbach (a 6’2”

sophomore center) got 4 quick points off offensive rebounds as soon as she checked into the game. Robin Johnson (a fresh­m an fo rw ard) w as also rebounding well and shot 100 percent from the free throw line. In fact, everyone was doing so well from everywhere on the court that there was no way the Vikes could lose.

At Marion the good playing continued. Sheba Quirk started the gam e with her shirt on back­wards but that didn’t phase the Vikes, they were in control starting with the opening tip-off and ending with the final buz­zer— LU 44 - Marion 31.

Liz Aldrich got the first half going with two quick baskets off the double post high corner play, one of the Vikes most successful offenses. Aldrich was hot with 8 total points for the gam e. Vickie Corbeil (16 points) and Sheba Quirk followed Aldrich’s lead w ith a bucket ap iece . Sue Giersbach made 4 quick ones on h er offensive rebound ing power. Ang, Barthels, Kreher and Quirk had 2 points each.

The full court press once again enab led L aw rence to nab a total of 14 steals. When Irene Ang en te red the gam e to re liev e M agee her s tro n g defensive playing really had the Marian guards razzed. Marian could not get their offense together. The Vikes caused 29 tu rn o v ers throughout the gam e. The half ended with Lawrence leading 22- 15.

In the second half Magee cam e back and used the full court press to her advantage. She made her steals count with 8 total points for the gam e. Coach Gallus in­troduced a new s tra te g ic m aneuver—he played a four woman defense and had Magee hang back. It worked well— Magee received the long pass and went up for easy lay-ups.

Robin Johnson entered the gam e playing tough defense and got a bloody lip for her efforts. She rem ained in the gam e and didn’t let the incident cram p her unique style. Julie Dyer did some im p ress iv e rebound ing—she nabbed 8 off the boards as did Corbeil. The gam e ended with Lawrence on top again.

Against Madison-Edgewood last Tuesday the Vikes had a great gam e winning 50-34. After 5 minutes the score was tied 2-2. Suddenly the F ro n t line of L aw ren c e’s full co u rt p ress (Magee, Aldrich, Quirk) fired up and there were 3 quick Viking b ask ets . It w as V iking domination from there on out. Corbeil, Aldrich and Magee were all hot in the first ha lf; they had 10- 8- and 6 points respectively for the game.

Quirk added four and Reed and Johnson both had 2. When Edgewood began to press Amy Bell worked with Law rence’s p re ss b re a k e r and picked up two. The double post high combination of Bell and Corbeil (inside posts) was really looking smooth and working well. The opposition was overpowered— Quirk and Magee each had 6 steals; Aldrich had 5 and Bell 4. Edgewood com m itted 32 tur­novers throughout the gam e. The half tim e score read Lawrence 34 - Edgewood 15.

In the second half Giersbach sta rted the tip-off; Bell racked up 3 points; Aldrich obtained 4 and Corbeil 2. Reserve freshm an guard Charisse Bruno had 1 point off a free throw. M arian Magee shot a 25-footer good for two—it gave her a high scoring game with 12 points along with Corbeil and Aldrich.

The Vikes seemed to let up a bit on their tough defense in the second h a lf bu t th e second stringers held it together and played a good tough game. M adison-Edgew ood w as the Vikings tenth win against four losses. They had one more gam e and one more win to go to reach their goal of an 11-4 season record.

by Jeffery S. WoodwardThe Lawrence Puckers clob­

bered the Ripon Redmen last Saturday 7-2, and evened the Vike’s record a t 5 wins and 5 losses. The victory will allow the team to travel to Eau Claire next week where they will participate in a six team tournam ent.

The Vikes put Ripon away in the first period with a five goal onslaught. Lawrence took only eight shots on goal in the first period, but five of them went in. After the first period Ripon changed goalies, but by then it was too late. The Vikes had scored all they needed. In the following period Lawrence cam e up with two more scores. In the final period, the Vikes w ere held pointless.

It was an easy win for the Vikings. It could be considered a f ru s tra tin g w in, how ever, b ec au se L aw rence did m iss many scoring opportunities. The Vikes skated hard in the first period and it paid off well. In the

following periods it seemed that the team le t down. Coach Fahrenholz justified his teams second and third period com­placency: “ Ripon is a difficult team to get up for, due to the fact that they haven’t won a gam e in two y ears .”

D efensem an Tom H ughes paced the team with two goals and two assists. Single tallies were recorded by Scott Roeper, Dave Solomon, Sean Boyle, Geoff M eader, and Andy McNeill. Two assists apiece were awarded to Roeper, McNeill, and Solomon.

T he V ik ing’s f irs t play-off m atch will be this F riday against Eau Claire. It should prove to be a close gam e if the previous meeting between these two team s is an indication of their strength. (Eau Claire cam e out on top by only a one goal m argin). If Lawrence defeats Eau Claire, they will advance to the sem i­finals where they will challenge the to u rn am en t fav o rite , Madison Tech.
