A local man who reportedly exposed himself to a student through a Wessell Library win- dow was apprehended this wcck by the Tufts Police, but was later released due to lack of evidcnce according to Police Captain Ronalc Repoza.

Approximately two weeks ago a female student reported to thc police that a man had exposed himself to her from outside the library, Repoza said.

Police took the suspect intc custody Monday whcn a callci reported seeing a man near the library who fit the description given by the witness and circu- lated by the police. However, the witness declined to bring charges against the suspect.

“We have a gut feeling that this was the individu al... but we can’t prove it,” Repoza said yes- terday.

The man was released aftcl being warned to stay off campus He could be arrested for trespass. ing if he returns to Tufts.

According to Repoza, this incident was not related to the indecent exposure in Wessell earlier this semester whcn a man reportedly masturbated in front of a female Tufts student inside the library. As of yet, no one has been arrested in connection to that incident.

“To me, Somerville is a suc- cess and as mayor, I want to make surc that everybody has a chancc to share that succcss,” said Buon- omo in his briefopcning rcmarks. He stressed thc importance of making available to everyone the services the city can providc, rcgardlcss ofrace, gender, sexual oricntation or rcligion. “Somer- villc is a city that says you’rc included,” he said.

The Board of Trustccs Ad- ministration and Finance Com- mittee granted its final approval Tuesday for the construction ofa new 378-bed dormitory, accord- ing to Overseer and Secretary of the Corporation Joseph Lambert.

Lambert said that the conimit- tee approved a “capital cxpense authorization” that will permit the Administration to begin ils construction schedule.

The capital expense authori- zation is required for the Admini- stration to commit funds in thc amount of $250,000 or more to a capital project, he explaincd.

He said that the authori7ation is the “final step” in approving the building, as the Trustccs had previously approved the concept of a new undergraduate dormi- tory.

The project will be financed by a Massachusetls Higher Edu- cation Facilities Authority Loan, a state loan program financed by bonds. Lambert said that all col- leges and universities participate in the program.

Director of Physical Plant John Roberto said the University an- ticipates the receipt of a building permit from the city of Somer- ville by the end of next week. During that time final ncgotia-

tions will bc concluded with the low bidder for the construction of the project, he added.

Balfour explained that the Administration, in a rcport to the Trustecs justifying the need for a new dorm, said that the addition of the Davis Square subway stop increased area rental prices and

He said that the new dorm, which will basically be c-shaped, will be located between thc Latin Way dormitory and the Baronian Field House. The tcnnis courts located at the site will bc shifted over, but will not be eliminated. He addcd that the parking lot in front of the Latin Way dorm will not be lost to the construction.

Academic Vice President Robert Rotberg said that the dorm is expected to be completed ap- proximately 18 months after the, start of constructign.

Rotberg said that the dormi- tory construction is cxpected to cost approximately $ 1 1 million. Lambert explained the funds will cover construction costs, furnish- ings and related expenditures.

According to Ian Balfour, Tufts Community Union Senate repre- sentative to Trustees Administra- tion and Finance Committec, the financial breakdown is as follows: $692,000 for design; $8,965 mil- lion for construction; $95,000 for project administration; $50,000 for construction inspection; $75,000 for landscaping; $200,000 for telecommunications; $480,000

ous authorization for $490,000 covered preliminary planning expenses.

Balfour said that although he believed the University hadn’t overcommi tted itself financially, he said that “if the University had to incur some more debt in the future ... it could be worri- some.”

He added that there was a possible donor for the dormitory, although details hadn’t been fi-

A need for awareness To the Editor:

There has been a great deal of talk on the subject of divcrsity lately. What is diversity, is it prcs- ent at Tufts, what are thc prob- lems stemming from it ... and so forth. Talk is all well and good, but if it does not inducc action, talk is pointless. True divcrsity, reflected in the student body, curriculum, faculty and staff, is a valuable and necessary aspect of a college education. How that kind of diversity is to be achieved has become a topic of conccrn as well as controversy, and one that will be answered neither casily nor speedily.

As students, wc fed that, de- spite the highly publicizcd nature of this issuc, diversity is not of essential concern to the Univcr- sity. Although much toulcd in the recruitment process, diversity docs not have a sufficient prcsencc among the faculty or thc student body. These facts lead us to bc- licve that a real comrnitmcnt to divcrsity does not cxist.

We have therefore taken it upon ourselves to join togcthcr to pro- mote further awarcncss o n cam- pus. Convinced that this is the necessary first step, we want to encouragc an awareness of thc varied experiences of thc mcm- bers of the Tufts communily. An awareness of others will, wc hopc, lead to an understanding of dif- fcrcnt backgrounds and vicw- points. Our goal is not one of absolute agreement bctwecn pcople, but of the rccognition of the differences among us.

While some may be upset or annoyed about thc uproar over thc diversity dilemma, thcrc is an inarguablc need for somc kind of program to address the problems that have arisen, and arc as yet arising from this issuc. Examplcs of racism and discrimination at

THE TUFTS DAILY Tufts, both blatant and subtle, make clear the exigency of both greater awareness and an improved diversity program.

One day during Orientation is an insufficient amount of lime to dcal with the complexitics of diversity. It is notenough to pres- ent students with the problcms at hand; programs working for solu- tions must take place throughout the entire year. Diversity requires continuous attention, as it creates ongoing conflicts. It is for this

OP-ED Questions raised by the Stuart incident by DAVID ROTHENSTEIN

Anyoneread the Boston Globe yesterday? You couldn’t miss the lead story.

First there was thc blaring front page headline: Reading woman dies after shooting in car. Under- neath was a two column photo of the couple involved. Still furthcr below ran the headline: ‘Chuck, can you hear me?’ And, in case you missed it, latcr in the front page section, a four page fcature supplement with the titlc, “My wife’s been shot. I’vebeen shot.”

For those still unawarc, on Monday night Chuck and Carol Stuart were leaving a childbirth class at Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Carol, a lawycr, was eight months pregnant. As they entered their car, a man jumped in, held them at gunpoint and ordered them to drive down some side streets. Once the car was stopped, the man auemptcd to rob the couple until he spotted a cellular car phone in the vchicle. Immediately thinking that the two werc police officers, he shouted David Rothenstein, a senior ma- joring in political science, is the Op-Ed Editor of the Daily.

“You’re 5-O! [the slang for po- lice officer]” and proceeded to shoot Carol in the head and Chuck in the abdomen. Then he ran off.

From there, the story of how Chuck started his car, called the police, how he spoke with dis- patcher Gary McLaughlin until the Boston police wcrc able to locate the vehicle, and how the baby was delivered by Cacsarcan section that night, was pure drama. But the drama ended and the real tragedy began when Carol Stuart died on Tuesday night.

Since Monday evening, thc local press has becn completely inundated with stories dxcclly and indirectly relating to the horrible incident. The Globe, Herald, and all three networks ran stories about the massive Mission Hill man- hunt for the killer, about, the re- corded conversation between Stuart and McLaughlin, about violence in the Hub, and about the noticeable public outcry.

There is no doubt that the inci- dent was a terrible tragedy, both for the Stuarts and the local community. The fact that thc wifc died and that the husband and baby are both still in critical condition only adds to the sad- ness. But there are some intercst-

ing aspects to be noted beyond the superficial facts of the story.

WBZ’s Liz Walker picked up on the underlying theme on eve- ryone’s mind when she interviewed Mayor Flynn live on Tuesday night’s late broadcast. Noting that the shooting was indced a hor- rible one, Walker questioned why almost the entire Boston police force was engaged in the man- hunt when similar shootings oc- cur almost as regular as clock- work on the streets of Roxbury. And although she didn’t say it outright, Walker was not far from prodding Flynn about why such a large amount of media attenlion was being given to the incident.

Not surprisingly, Flynn side- stepped Walker’s probing insinu- ations, but it was not hard to rcad his mind. A white couple had bccn shot by a black man in Boston, and the pregnant woman -- an attorney, no less -- had later died. A story tailor-made for sensa- tionalism. It was revealingtonote that although no broadcast actu- ally came out and affirmed that the assailant was black, the story about the scarch centering in the Mission Hill section of prcdomi- nantly-black Roxbury was enough of a hint.

Law on pensions is fatally flawed by HARVEY YUEN

By the end of next weck, thc U.S. Senate is expected to debate and then vote on restoring Lt. Colonel Oliver North’s $23,000- a-year pension from the Marine Corps. The General Accounting Office suspended Ollic’s retire- ment pay last July because North was convicted of destroying gov- ernment documents. Supporters of reinstating North’s pension, led by Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC), arguc that the law denying North his benefits is unfair bccausc some fcderal officials, namely former members of Congress who have been convicted of felonies, still receive benefits. On the othcr hand, opponents like Sen. Bob Kerrcy (D-NE) contend that thc law shouldn’t be changed for indi- viduals, even for war hcrocs like North. For the first and hopcfully last time in my life, I agrcc with Jess Helms.

Most supporlers and opponents agrcc that North was a hero in Vietnam. A graduate of thc U.S. Naval Academy, Olivcr North scrved for twenty years in the Marine Corps. He was a platoon commander in Vietnam anti was awarded the Silver Star, two F‘urple Hearts, a Bronze Star, and a Navy Commendation.

Opponents of reinstating North’s rctircment pay arguc that no one is above the law. In othcr words, if you break the law, then you pay the price -- no cxccp- tions. Sen. Dennis DeConcini (D- AZ) says that “The law is clear. North was guilty of a felony and loses his benefits. Should we change the law because North was a hero in Vietnam? No.” DeConcini is right; Oliver North broke the law and should bcar thc consequences of his actions.

We shouldn’t change thc law because of North’s heroism. However, we should change the

Harvey Yuen, a junior majoring in mechanical engineering, is a member of the Tufts Democrats.

law because it is flawed. The law that denied Ollie his retircmcnt pay does not apply to all federal officials. In making his case for North, Helms presented a letter from the Senate Ethics Commit- tee stating that former members of Congress convicted of felonics do receive pensions. Sen. Joseph Biden (D-DE), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committec, described the law as being “un- clear.” If all convicted federal officials werc denied pensions, then Ollie should not receive onc. Considering North’s extraordinary military service and Ihc govern- ment’s failure to recognize an unfair law, I see no reason why North’s pension shouldn’t be rc- stored.

Not only convicted fedcral officials but also drug dealers are eligible to receive pensions. Under the 1988 Anti-Drug Abuse Amend- ment Act, convicted drug dealers are entitled to “retirement pay,

welfare, Social Security, health, disability, veterans’ benefits, public housing, and other similar benefits ...’ ’ Drug dealers, con- victed of selling narcotics in America, receive rctircment bcnc- fits. It is an injustice that Olivcr North, convicted of protecting America by carrying out the anti- communist policies of the Re- agan and Bush Administrations, is deprived of his pension.

A law that places war heroes on a level lower than drug dealers obviously needs to bc changed. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), a for- mer Vietnam POW, declared “it is our obligation to overcome any technicalities’ ’ that disqualify those who “served our country.’’ Taking into account North’s mili- tary service in Vietnam and an ambiguous law with “tcchnicali- ties,” the least the Senate could to correct this injustice is .to re- store the pension of Lt. Col. 01- iver North.

Despite the blatant avoidance of any black-white theme by the local mcdia, few would question that this is precisely at thc root of the widespread dramatic and sensationalized accounts. True, maybe the fact that thc young woman was both pregnant and an attorney, and that the husband made such a last-ditch attcmpt to alert the police to his location, qualified this story as somen hat more newsworthy to the public. But did it really justify four of five cntirc pages of copy? Maybc or maybe not.

But what about the other hun- dreds who are gunned down cv- cry ycar on thc Boston strects? No more than a blurb inside the paper, or at thc most a short ar- ticle at the bottom of the front page. Had the Stuarts bccn black or the assailant white, there is a good probability that the incident would have attracted significantly less media coverage. At the very least, the entire Boston police force would not have been involved.

The most obvious comparison that comes to mind is this sum- mer’sCcntral Parkrapeofa white femalc jogger by a large group of black tccnagers. That particular occurrcnce attracted nationwide attention for several reasons, not the least of which were the obvi- ous violentracialovcrtoncs. Crit- ics then were quick to point out the black-white conflict and the media’s saturation of its ramifi- cations, and the same holds true now, albeit on a somewhat smaller scale.

What I think the key point to be madc here is this: Arc these acts of violence any more impor- tant than others becausc they are racially tinged? I don’t think so. But our society and the media prey upon such events and milk them for all they’re worth. The truth of the matter is that the Stuarts’ assailant would have probably shot them, regardless of their color, as soon he thought they were police officers. It was an usual set of circumstances, madc cvcn more so by the largely coincidcntal color of the assail- ant and his victims.

For most people, the Stuart incident was one that struck close to thc heart, for it involved many aspccts that touch one’s emotions. Would it have been any less so had the racial conflict been elimi- nated? No. But, according to the media, it would been less deserv- ing of ncws coverage, and conse- quently, lcss important.

The media’s main concern is to sell papers and to attract read- ers and listcners, but at what cost whcn morals and ethics arc being sacrificed? Reporters, columnists and deejays love to label people racist, and yet whcn they give such imbalanced coverage to racially tense events, they are in turn adding fuel to the fire.

My heart goes out to the Stuart family. No one likes to see such horrible things happen to nice, undescrving people. And yet, at the same time, the double stan- dards and warped priorities of the media arc ius1 as disturbina. -

Racism: Reflecting -

a pyramid of power by RUPERT PARCHMENT

I feel that the words I have to say should be known to thc cntirc Tufts community. The opinions that I have to exprcss arc mine alone. I also feel that thc Alrican- American community should not be held accountable for the words of this prejudiced man.

First of all, I refer to mysclf as prejudiced, not racist. Thc two terms are quite similar in their literal definition: prejudice is “a bias for or against somcthing formed without sufficient hasis,” while racism is “the belicf that some races are inherently supe- rior to others.” In my opinion, the difference betwecn the i wo is that, in society today, a racist person has power to oppress oth- ers. Therefore, racism equals prejudice plus power. Pcople of color do not have power, so they are victims of racism.

Pcoplc do not understand that the United States and cities like Boston and towns like Mcdford are racist instittjtions. In them, only whites can have powcr, and for this reason, they alonc can be racist. I am a person of color who is a victim of racism and who is not permitted to have thc same rights as whites. The whites have control and do not want to give up their position on top of the pyra- mid of power.

Since the white man is on top, he invariably hires only pcoplc who are like him. Many white institutions and businesses will only accept people of color if programs such as Affirmative

Action ;e enforced. Affirmative Action locates qualdicd pcople of color in schools, worh cnvi- ronments, etc. and aids thcm in apprcciating thc same opportuni- ties afforded to others. Alfirma- tive Action does not place pcoplc who are underqualificd into posi- tions whcre they would noi cxccl. It is needed because, in thc com- munity, racism is a factor that will not allow peoplc of color to benefit while having a place in the power structure.

One Tufts student had this to say about the admission of stu- dents of color into Tufts Univer- sity: “some of these students [African-Americans, Latin Ameri- cans, etc.] may have bccn aided in their attcmpt to gain admission to this school by their race, since under Affirmative Action quotas, the Univcrsity is allowed to lower its standards for minority stu- dents.” I hope that he’s not in- sinuating that people of color arc inferior to whites and can’t achicve the same levels of success as they.

The term “inferior,” or even “lcss than,” seems to go along with the word “minority” used to describe people of color. As a person of color, I am deeply of- fended when a person refers to me as a minority. Are they infer- ring that I am any “less than” they? I refuse to be called a mi- nority, because I am not less than anyone else. Furthermore, in the world, people of color are in the majority overd. So why do whitcs kecp believing that p p a of color are inferior because of thc~r <>-

economic class? My ans.jr. any question of why some pet

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- More than 13,000 people were reported homeless Wednesday, and officials warned more houses could be lost in landslides near carth- quake fissures. Children in the badly damaged Marina district returned to classes in their reo- pened school-turned-sheltcr.

Congress passed a $3.45 bil- lion relief package and sent it to President Bush, and a survey found many Bay area residents gave low marks to the federal rcsponse to last week’s devastating quake.

California’s Office of Emer- gency Services raised its count of displaced people to 13,892, nearly double the figure previously re- ported.

“There’s more peoplc out (at shelters) because of thc recent rains,” Bob Krueger of the OES said Wednesday, adding that a bctter reporting system also in- creased the tally.

“I’m taking it one day at a timc right now,” said Lynn Car- rere, who was being sheltcrcd by the Red Cross at the Marina MiddleSchool after her apartment was heavily damaged. “The af- tershocks are really getting on my nerves.”

Some students were upset to find 175 displaced pcoplc still in their school when it reopcned.

“It’s sort of weird,” said one girl. “We can’t gct to the gym. The yard is split in half for the Red Cross.” A boy said some studcnts felt they had sacrificed enough.

Landslides in the Santa Cruz Mountains have already claimed 100 homes and severely dam- aged three times that many, offi- cials said, and gcologists warned of more danger to come.

Because of rain, huge sections of land in S a m Cruz County cracked by earthquake fissures are in danger of sliding this win- ter and burying hundreds of homcs.

“What’s happening today is frightening to geologists who have looked at it,” Professor Gary Griggs of the University of Cali- fornia, Santa Cruz, told county supcrvisors Tuesday. “ I think thcre’s a cause for alarm, but not instant alarm until we’ve had more rain. ’ ’

In Lompico Canyon on Wednesday, Kieran Reid workcd to shore up his landslide-dam- aged house. Though it sustained cracks and lost its chimney, he said he felt lucky.

Not far away, one house could be seen literally cracked in half, its furniture spilled on theground. Others have makeshift plastic coverings for gaps in the roof.

Others stili rested against red- wood trees.

The House late Wcdnesday joined the Senate in approving a S3.45 billion quake relief pack- age. President Bush wasexpected to sign the legislation quickly.

A survey in Wednesday’s San Francisco Chronicle found 36 percent of Bay area rcsidcnts polled found the federal rcsponse to the quake “fair” or “poor.”

Forty-nine percent found it “excellent” or “good,” compared with 72 percent who felt that way about the local government rc- sponse and a 59 percent positive rating for the state.

Damage estimates have bccn sct at $7.1 billion.

Police said six people rcmained unaccounted for, and the death toll from the Oct. 17 quake rc- mained at 63, including 39 from the collapse of double-decked Intcrstate 880 in Oakland.

New aftershocks did not dam- age thc structure as crews contin- ued to dismantle it. An aftershock of 4.5, the strongest in four days, was registered at Tuesday eve- ning and a 3.7 shock followed Wednesday morning, thc latest of about4,OOO aftershocks since the quake.

Buck Helm, the 1-880 survi- vor, remained in serious but stable

condition. “He’s doing well,” said Phyllis Brown, a spokes- woman for Highland Gencral Hospital in Oakland.

Also improving were 6-year- old Julio Berumen and his sister, Cathy, 8, who lost thcir mothcr in the 1-880 collapse. Some 500 let- ters to the children and more than $25,000 in checks have floodcd a fund set up at Summit Bank in Oakland.

On Wednesday, BankAmerica Corp., announced it would give $1.1 million to quake relief pro- grams, in addition to $250,000 already donated to the Red Cross.

And state aid has begun to flow. Gov. George Deukmcjian on Wcdncsday ordcred the im- mediate release of $122 million in emcrgcncy state funds to hard- hit localities to help prevent “cash- flow difficulties.”

In a report released Wednes- day, researchers ominously noted that Bay area quakcs have his- torically occurred in pairs. A trem- bler that hit Oakland’s side of the bay in 1836 was followed in 1838 by a quake on the San Francisco side, and an 1865 quake on the San Francisco peninsula was fol- lowed by an Oakland quake three years latcr, noted the report in Science magazine, which quoted seismologists at thc U.S. Geo-

Meanwhile, cleanup and re- building continued throughout the Bay arca.

At thc Port of Oakland, where an estimated $75 million in dam- age included two derailed con- tainer cranes, nine of I O marine tcrminals were back in operation Wednesday.

“It’s not pretty, but it’s work- ing,” said Robert Middleton, a port spokesman.

Cracks and other damage at onc cnd of the main runway at Oakland’s airport were also being rcpaircd. Passengcr travel has not been affected, Middleton said, but air freight carriers have been told to lightcn loads until the full length of thc 10,000-foot runway is us- able again.

Crews continued to takc down a section of 1-880. The search for more bodics was dclayed until at least Thursday because thc road was too shaky. Demolition along the entire cripplcd stretch won’t bc complete until December, of- ficials said.

Safety Shuttle needs back-up To I he Editor:

Sunday morning at 1:30 a.m., I called the Safety Shuttle for a ride from Houston Hall M my off- campus apartment on Broadway. I was told that the Shuttle was not operating because thcrc were no drivers. The next logical step was to call the police. I explained the situation and asked if I could be given a ridc home. The officer denied my request and told me to take a taxi. I told him that I didn’t happen to have any money with me or in my apartmcnt. The offi- cer said to me, “Wcll, I don’t know what to tcll you.” I pointed out lo him that the police are there to protect the people. He replied, “We arc here to protect the safety of the University as a wholc.” Apparently, this police officcrdid not fcel that individual studcnts are worth protecting.

I am appalled that such a pres- tigious university as this does not do more to protcct its students. The Safety Shuttle is wonderful and provides safe transportation to and from arcas on and around campus. However, the Shuttle, likc any systcm, can cease to function. Whether it is because

the driver docs not show up or because the vehicle breaks down does not matter. What matters is that there should be some sort of back-up systcm on those occa- sions when thc Safety Shuttle is not operating. This is especially important to those of us students who are forced to live off campus in neighborhoods that are unsafe to walk in aftcr dark.

I hope thc University, the po- lice, and the Safety Office will get together and come up with a sysrcm to back up the Safety S huttlc.

Rebecca Gasser J’91

Defending the Safety Shuttle To [.he Editor:

I am writing to express some facts and m y feelings about the safcty systcm, and to offer some suggestions to those who have had bad luck with the systcm.

IL is a wcil-known [act that a crime problem exists on this campus, as it is located near a major metropolitan centcr. Thus, the University tries to institute as many safety features as possible to reduce the chances that crimes will occur here. Thc safcty shuttle is one of the most well-known and visible of these programs, and is frequently used by mem- bers of all races, ages, and both scxes. But ask anyone his or her opinion of the system, and the response would undoubtcdly have been a negative one.

In a reccnt campus survey, eighty percent of the women polled said they felt unsafe or very un- safe in the surrounding area at night. Hence, the Safety Shuttle exists to bring people who don’t feel secure to their destinations, on campus or off. In an arlicle I recently read in the Observer, director of housing John Darcey was quoted as saying, “Wc can’t stopcrimeon campus, but ~ e c a n provide reasonable precautions to help prevent it”Thc Safety Shuulc is rcasonablc only when it is run- ning at or close to maximum effi- ciency.

For the first two months of

school, the system wasn’t work- ing any more efficiently than if it was utilizing two-scatcr spans cars as shuttlcs -- bccausc of prohlcms with the radio systcm. I t took considerably more than half an hour to pick up most of thc pcoplc who called, and sometimc4 people waited for over an hour. Bid most of the timc, they just cnticd u walking h t o the Mcdford-Soni- erville strccts. They were almost always inccnsed, late to thcir mcctings, etc., and the drivers often had to deal with thcir justi- fied harangues.

The portable CB radio: the ccnwal device in thc Safety S huttlc organization, second only to the vehicles themselves in imporrancc. And in the first sevcn wccks of school, they didn’t work properly a single night. Of thc three vans, two arc equipped with built-in CB’s. One of them was doomed since the first day of the scmestcr, and thc othcr mys- teriously mct its demise at onc point several weeks ago. But this is not the entire problem. Thc radio from which a$signmcnls are dispatched, locatcd in the Safety Shuttle’s base in Ihc policc sta- tion, also had not workctl from day one. A hand-held portable radio that should be in the third van was then used to dispatch. Since it doesn’t have a quarter of the sending orreceiving power of the base radio, communication was scvered at short distances -- before the vans’ radios all broke.

Hence, the reason why it can take the shuttle an hour to pick people up. The driver has to be physically in the shuttle officc to geta list of placesat which pcople must be picked up. Then, thcy embark upon thcir mission to gct these people. Many, having waitcd too long for thcir patience to tol- erate, will walk.

The driver doesn’t know whether or not the person is al- ready gone, so he’ll wait. He is unablc to call in to thc basc and find out that he is indeed clear to proceed to the next no-show. So, it takes an hour to touch all of the places on his list, and to take

John Glenn slugged at tree planting ceremony

WASHINGTON (AP) -: A man who slugged Sen. John Glenn Wednesday after muttering “thc earthquakes are starting” had been detained by police Tuesday aftcr approaching Vice Presidcnt Dan Quayle’s motorcadc, officials said.

Michael Breen, who was ar- rested after hitting Glcnn in the jaw at a tree-planting ccrcmony, was the same man detaincd for two hours Tuesday after breaking through a police line and trying to approach Quayle’s motorcade, U.S. Capitol police said.

Breen, 31, of Washington, tried to pass a letter toQuayle’s motor- cade but was stopped before he got close to the car, said a Capitol Police spokesman. Breen was not arrested Tuesday becausc he did not commit a crime, the spokes- man said.

After hitting Glenn ai a cere- mony at the Smithsonian Institu- tion about 11:30 a.m. Wcdnes- day;Breen was charged with as- saulting a member of Congress, which is a felony, said a District of Columbia police spokcsman. Brccn’s arraignment was wt for Thursday in U.S. District Court, he said.

A Glenn aide said thc sena- tor’s jaw was sore but he did not see a doctor and kept to his sched- ule.

Glenn’s spokeswoman, Re- becca Bell, said the Ohio Demo- crat was talking to a television

watched Glenn help plant a tree started muttering, “Thc earth- quakes are starting, thc earthquakes are starting.”

The man then “comes up and socks” Glenn on the jaw, she said. The senator, a formcr astro- naut and ex-Marine, grabbcd thc man and called for Smithsonian guards.

Gary Nurenberg, the TV re- porter, said Glenn rubbed his jaw and said, “I haven’t been hit like that in 30 years.” Nurenbcrg, a correspondent with Gilletl News Bureau, said “the senator at 68 had better reflexes than an! body else there. ’ ’

The attack was captured on videotape.

Nurenberg said the man told him last week’s California earth- quake was a harbinger of immi- nent catastrophe in which two- thirds of the world’s population would be wiped out.

“He talked about thcchildren of Fatima. He said thc Pope is withholding informaiion,” the reporter said. Thc man told Nuren- berg he hit Glenn to “get atten- tion.”

Nurenberg said the man wore a coat, a tie and suspcnders and “looked to be a professional, yuppie type. ’ ’

Tufts student ranks nationally in barefoot waterskiing competition

by JULIE CARPENA Contributing Writer

While many Tufts studcnts head off to the slopes or fly south to rclax at the beaches during thcir school breaks, sophomorc Deb- bie b o l l uses her vacations to train for national barefoot watcr- skiing competitions.

Currently, Kroll ranks sixth overall nationwide in trick and wake waterskiing. She first be- gan at the age of eight at a sum- mer camp in Watcrville, Maine, and recalled, “I knew thc first time I did it, I loved it. I didn’t know how involvcd I was going to get, but I knew it was for mc.”

Kroll’s compctitivc carcer began the ncxt year at an intcr-

camp waterskiing mect. Since then, bol l has entcred numcrous trick and wake slalom watcrski- ing cornpctitions. In trick watcr- skiing, the skier accumulatcs pinL5 based on the difficulty of tricks pcrformed. Some tricks Kroll commonly performs includc tumbleturns with her body, rais- ing her feet, clenching thc leather strap with her teeth, or skiing with the rope around hcr ncck. In the othcr women’s barefoot wa- terskiing event, the wake slalom, the skier tries to cross the wakcs as many times as possible within the run.

Does this sound a little bit difficult? Kroll admitted, “Wcll, it is hard to learn at first,” but addcd,“onceyoudo itforawhile

and practice a lot, i t get\ a lot easier. ”

In addition to barcfoot watcr- skiing, Kroll has also bccn a fig- ure skater at the compctitivc lcvcl for tcn years. During high sc hool, she was a membcr of the varsity tennis and field hockcy tcams, and during her junior year, sk played ice hockey in a separate league “just for the hcck of it,’’ shc said.

Her intense involvement in barefoot waterskiing takcs Deb- bie all over the Northeast, from Maine to New Jersey. She even travclled as far as Ohio whcn she qualified for the nationals by placing among thc top thrcc wa- terskiers in the Eastern rcgion. But spcnding vacation breaks travelling to watcrski is not as easy as it may seem. “You havc to wake up at sunrise and ski all day. You just ski until thcrc’s no light, and go to sleep at nine to gct up at five ... you can only do i t at a couple of wccks at a time.”

Fortunately for Dcbbic, barc- foot waterskiing docs not inter- fere with her schoolwork since “the season is in the summcr.” More realistically, she added, “I mean, I could drop out of school and ski, but I’m not going to do that.” Instead, during the off season, Debbie simply stays in shape by doing “something cardio- vascular,” such as running or acrobics everyday, and by “cat- ing healthily, and not eating junk food. ”

What docs the futurc hold for the aspiring barefoot waterskier? “I’m notrcally sureyct. I want to gct my dcgrce first. And thcn either I’ll go to graduate school or maybe I’l l takc a year or a couplcofmonths down in Florida to go waterskiing and sec how it works out.” Does this futurc possibly include the dream of competing in the Olympics whcn barefoot waterskiing becomes an official event? “ I don’t know,” Kroll said with a modcst smilc. “It’s a thought, but you havc to give up your wholc life for it. I’d first like to place highcr in thc nationals this year.”

Mike Capuano believes Tufts should become more involved in

bcttcr communication in the fu- ture.”

Regarding Tufts studcnts in general, Capuano said that Som- crvillc residents scem to havc mixed emotions. “On one hand, they see the university as finc institution with a lot to offer. On thc othcr, espccially those living in West Somcrvillc, fecl thatovcr thc years Tufts hasn’t bccn a vcry good ncighbor.”

Capuano, a graduate of Dart- mouth with a law dcgrce from BostonCollege,citcs thcdiscrep- ancies bctwecn collcgc and fam- ily lifc as a sourcc of friction between students and the com- munity. “Whcn I was in collcgc, I would stay up until two cvcry morning.”

Capuano commcntcd that thc type of life acollegc studcnt leads inevitably clashes with the avcr- agc working class family, cspc- cially with so many pcople living off campus.

To help normalize relations between Tufts and Somervillc, Capuano suggcsts that Tufts needs to become more involvcd in community affairs. He said that

paign is makmg education a major issue in the campaign, and is looking to Tufts to assist Somer- villc in improving curriculum, while cxpanding the scopc of its vol untccr work.

Capuano said, “If we’re going to makc our educational system top notch, we’rc going to have to spend somc money. But we can greatly improvc thc situation without spcnding that much.”

Looking at thc political arcna in Amcrica, Capuano is distressed that most of the brightcststudents today arc looking to make a buck after graduation, instead oftrying to make a differcncc. “Tufts produces somc of the bcst stu- dents, yct only a handful of these pcoplc will bccomc involved in politics. I think it’sarcflectionon our socicty in gencral.”

Capuano said that it is nice to live in a community whcrc the pcoplc still care about politics. “Somcrvillc, k a u s c it is an urban area, has always bccn politically inclined. Most of the people arc secocd- or third-gcncration im- migrants who rcalix the impor- tance of government on their

ARTS Party ofOne casts the spotlight on the singles scene

by JILL GRINBERG Daily Editorial Board

Party of One, a musical com- edy premiering at the Theatre Lobby at Hanover Street, rakes a light look at bring single.

The Party of One enscmble cast (Robin Allison, Jamic MacK- enzie, Merle Perkins, and Mi- chael Thayer) begins their cxplo- ration into singledom with “Un,” a plea for “singles” acceptance, and sings on to cover such topics -- in sequential order -- as cnter- ing the meat market (“Into the Fray”), arranging that first date (“Booking It”), co-habitation (“She’s Heremoving In”), and every single’s wish for holy mat- rimony (“Wedding”).

tier numbers featured in thc first half of the show, is an advcrtise- ment for “Second Rate Singles” -- a group for modcrate achievers looking to meet equally moder- ate achievers. The cast urges the audicnce, “Come mingle with mediocrity!” and asscrts thc si~ccess of “Second Rate Singlcs” with .some persuasive dialogue: “What do you do?” asks thc woman. “I’m a claims adjustcr,” replies the man. Impresscti, the woman sighs, “Ohhhhhh,

The most musically success- ful number of thc first half is “Hot Love,” a slow, jazzy, blues number performed by a pair of divorcees on the loose (Allison and Perkins). Reminiscing about

yuppie/ but as far as making love/ hc had the passion of a guppic.” Consequently craving “obscene- ness and raunchincss,” thc two frustrated women seductively croon, ‘‘Give me a hot man/ make my deep freeze defrost.” This humorous yet moving duo, over- flowing with heat and cmotion, gives an intensity to their number that was missing from most of the other songs.

The second half of thc show highlights some cute chorcogra- phy and costuming, which givcs Party of One some wclcomcd variety. For “It’s Not Truc Lovc,” Thayer, donned in black lcathcr and shadcs, sings “It’s not real ‘til you’re married,” whilc the red of the cast dances and shoo-

leather, however, is peeled off and chef aprons get tied on for “Culinary Coping,” a humorous, tango-style number centered around a “typical” bachelor confession: “.,.I broke out in a cold sweat. Here I am a grown man and I have no stemwarc.” Oh, horrors! What could be worse, the cast sings, then “lacking in the necessary utensils.” It makes one want to rush out to the nearest store and buy the first melon-ball scooper in sight.

Numbers like “Culinary Cop- ing,’’ however, are not enough to hold the show togethcr. The lyr- ics, ranging from the surprisingly witty down to the thosc that could inspire, at best, only groans, are not as consistently funny as thcy --.. ~~

cnthusiasm. The chorcography and cast’s voices, which possibly could have brightened up the show, arc unfortunately about as mediocre

as thc people one would expect to meet at “Second Rate Singles.”

Moreover, the show is defi- nitely targeted at a spccific audi- ence, mainly middle-aged singles. Acollegestudent will find it hard to relate to the prcssure to gct married, much less the sufferings of a divorcee. It might have been more enjoyable to watch coeds sing about their experiences with fraternity parties, rather than yuppies croon about having to suffer through cocktail party af- ter cocktail party.

‘‘Party of One,’ ’ a healthy and single, “I’m okay, you’re okay” kind of number, brought the show to its close. Maybe thc musical wasn’t the most scintillating show to have hit Boston, but it did leave one with thc fecling that it was okay to be matcless and dateless. For the ticket price of $14.50, however, that’s an ex- pensive dose of mcdicine.

Thanks to yaw United Way donation, families who were once without places to live, now have places to grow.

Party ofOne’s ensemble cast is less than engaging in their portrayal of single life.

mistress, Jean Tatlock (Nalasha Richardson). In the process he also loses some of the more humane traits he was knoan for while teaching ar Berkeley.

The film is narrated by Mi- chael Merriman (John Cusack), a young and courageous scicntisr from Chicago who also contrib- utes to the film; he provides a few moments of suspense in his two bold acts to save other mcn’s livcs, and adds a sentimental touch in his relationship with Kathlcen Robinson (Laura Dern), a } oung nurse also at thc project sitc.

The film centers on the struggle between Groves and Oppenhcimer, both equally arrogant, both with the same desire not to bc con- trolled by the other. Grovcs re- ceives threats from higher-ranked generals who arc upset and men- acing over the fact that his $2 billion budget has cut into theirs; Oppenheimer is pressured by some

BPL strikes out with “Plav Ball” by GEOFF LEPPER

Daily Editorial Board

“Play Ball,” a 33-photo ex- hibit on baseball, sounds like it should be interesting.

Unfortunately, the Boston Public Library has stuck “Play Ball” in one of the single most obscure and possibly one of the worst maintained “galleries” (and it must be put in quotes) on the whole Eastern seaboard.

Hidden away in the Wiggin Gallery balcony of the Research Library, hung on ratty walls with tom backing, with offices atlached to the balcony that have phones ringing almost constantly, it’s very unfortunate that these rarc im- ages should be stuck in such apit.

Because these photos, as with any retrospective show, give the viewer a great sense of nostalgia. From the first shot to the final one, the reader moves through baseball’s history, and some of its greatest names: Napoleon Lajoie, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, and Cy Young, to name a few.

The most striking thing about the exhibition is that things ate similar from those older cras of baseball and today’s game -- the

Braves, wearing uniforms with the exact same “BOSTON” let- tering that today’s Red Sox wear. But the differences are also very obvious. Mostof theplaycrs sport thick handlebar moustachcs (as opposed to current Sox Mike Greenwell’s puny growth), and the manager of the team is in a suit and tie (in addition to an old- fashioned bowler).

The picture of Washington Senator pitcher Walter “Meal Ticket” Johnson, possibly the fastest thrower ever (Nolan Ryan be dammed) shows that, with Johnson attempting to tackle his teammate Clyde Milan, rough- housing and playing jokes have always been part of the game.

One of the most touching photos is that of Cleveland playerhnan- ager Tris Speaker, hugging his mother after rallying his Indians from the death of their shortstop, Ray Chapman (killed by an er- rant fastball), to win the 1920 World Series. Pat Cash, eat your heart out.

Most of the photos are from Boston Herald-Tribune photog- rapher Leslie Jones, including a portrait of Rogers Hornsby and his wife while he was with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1926. The two look so happy and natural on the ballfield, as evidenced by - -

second uhoto, for example, is a Hornsby’s quote underneath: team siot of the 1890- Boston “Baseball is all I know.”

If you can manage to locate it, the Boston Public Library’s “play Ball” exhibit is definitely worth a look.

U Possibly the most startling

photo is the shot of Speaker, Connie Mack (the manager, still wearing a suit and tie), Eddie Collins, and Ty Cobb, all while with the 1928 Philadelphia Athletics. While most baseball fans have imagcs of these four in their younger days, they are, in ’28, a bunch of old men, and they look it. But they still went out and gave it their all, day after day. It’s this sense of want- ing to play, this sense that “base- ball is all I know” that is so unusual; in these days of highly fragile stars and highly immature kids who make the major leagucs before they’re legal to drink, this old-fashioned sense of love for the game is missing.

The best photo, however, is certainly the last. There are no Hall-of-Famers in it, just three anonymous men -- a runner slid- ing into home, a catcher leaping for a high throw, and an umpire watching grandly from behind. It is a timeless image, something that could have been from the 1889 season or the 1989 season, a photo that somehow carries the magic and mysticism of baseball with it.

Unfortunately, there really is no way to enjoy the photographs in their current setting. The walls have holes from earlier exhibi- tions that haven’t been patched

out repeatedly, “God, I was asieep,” in a loud, grating voice (while people who came to look at the pictures wished he would go back to sleep). To get to the Wiggin Gallery, one must go through the back entrance (the one with the lions), into the Re- search Library (not the normal book library), up three flights of stairs, through two hallways (one of which is almost pitch-black), through the main gallery, up another flight of stairs, before finally arriving there, at the bal- cony.

The exhibition will be at the BPL until mid-December. Hope- fully, it will find a better home after this showing.

characterizing the brilliant, au- thoritative, and arrogant Groves, giGmg more complexity to the character than the script provides. Schultz is almost as successful in portraying the weakcr, volatile Oppenheimer.

Cusack turns in a superb per- formance as Michael Merriman, who represents the more human values of love, courage and inno- cence. John McGinnley (Platoon, Wall Street) as Doctor Richard Schoenfield, however, is unable to shine; it is he who appears hardest hit by the script’s poor quality. His opposition to Oppcn- hcimer in the final part of the movie might have portrayed thc changes that Oppenheimer had suffered, using the character of a doctor as a paragon; but McGinnley is given neither the

time nor the script to do this ef- fcc tivcly.

The music score, composed and directed by Enrico Morri- cone (The Mission, The Untouch- ables), is not as powerful as his earlier works; nevertheless, it contributes to the tense momenis of the film, adding a suspenseful edge to the scenes even when the script does not.

The acting in the movie makes it worth sceing, and the story’s originality, since it is the first movicdealing with thcmakingof the atomic bomb, adds LO the at- traction. These are, however, thc strongest points of Fat Man and Little Boy; the script is, unfortu- nately, unable to match these qualitics either in intensity or in clarity.

Waterboys get their Irish up at Orpheum

by STEPHEN CLAY Daily Editorial Road

Although the first sidcof Fish- erman’s Blues disguises thcir trans- formation somewhat, the Watcr- boys arc now a vastly different band than they were on thcir first three albums, and thischanz Lc, - was heavily cmphasized Sunday night at the Orpheum, in their first area show in a long while.

The former sound of thc Wa- tcrboys -- the icy, gothic ring of Mikc Scott’s keyboards and op- eratic vocal arrangemcnts -- has been surprisingly transfonncd into that of traditional Irish music, and the seven-piece band now comes complete with violin, ac- cordion and flute. But how would they be able to recreatc the old sound, the sound integral to fa- mous Waterboys epics such as “Hole of the Moon,” “A Pagan Place” and “This is the Sca”?

Well, for the most part, they didn’t. The show was billcd as “A Night of Irish Music,” and that’s what the Orpheum audi- ence got, not only from opening act T.F. Much (your gucss is as good as mine -- but probably thc same -- on the initials), but from the main course themselves.

The seven-piece band provided a wallop of sound, all mixcd per- fcctly, and on such traditioncil lrish songs as “Ragglc-Taggle Gypsy” and “In Search of High Roads,”

the interplay bctwccn Scott’s acoustic guitar, Steve Wichham’s fiddle, Anthony Thistlcwaite’s bouzouki, and the rest or thc band -’ gave the songs a full, cornplcte sound.

Scott went behind thc kcy- boards for only a few of the band’s chestnuts during the evening. most memorably ThisIs the Sets’\ “Old England,” which sounded like vintage Waterboys, and, later in thesct, “HoleoftheMoon“ from thc same album, which didn’t come off as well.

In between, though, came the highlight of the early part of thc set, Fisherman’s Blues’ “And a Bang on the Ear,” which built up ovcr the course of the song until Scott tossed down his acoustic guitar and pickcd up an clcctric one for the only time of the evc- ning, wailing away on a fina! solo which sent the crowd into i t s first frenzy of the evening.

Which was followed by sev- eral more, most notably for the Fisherman’s Blues troika of “We Will Not Bc Lovers,” “When Will We Be Married?” and the powerful set-ending “Fishemnn’s Blues.”

Throughout the night, Scott dominated the stage (except when he relinquished it to Thistlewaite for a tune callcd “Good Morning Mr. Customs Man”), cuing the

those with the patience of Jumbo theElcphant to theirdcstinations. Then, the driver returns to’the station to get the next list of peoplc who called an hour ago ....

Can you see the problem here? I have four requests to con-

clude my letter with. First, do not blame the students who work for and run thc shuttle. They inces- santly ask thc right pcople whcn the radios will be fixed, and kccp getting the run-around. But, thc right people don’t do the right things. Jack Deasy, the formcr director of public safcty at Tufts, was rcsponsible for getting this thing off the ground bcfore he left the University, but even bcfore hc left he was rarely seen, and so were thc results of his work. The Tufts Police are starting to gct sick of the complaints all ovcr campus, yet they do nothing with their pull to accomplish safety things around here.

Rcqucst #2: Plcasc be patient when calling and waiting for thc Safety Shuttlc. Evcn now that thc radios work properly, there arc occasional nights whcn for somc reason the shuttle is understaffcd, and the drivers on duty are trying to get through the lists safcly and without excessive dclay.

Rcqucst #3: Please wait out- side or in easy view for your ridc, and board it promptly so as to facilitatc the process and reducc others’ waits. Safety is its first and middle names, and groups of four or more arc completely safe on campus. Please don’t boggle thc systcm for your convenience.

Rcqucst W: Most importantly, don’t hcsitatc to call when you want to. The wait is worth it, considcring thc growing concern ovcr assaults against Tufts stu- dents reccntly. Even if it’s from Tilton to thecampus Center, your ridc is important. The campus is justas unsafe with a forty-minute wait as it is with a five-minute wait. This is important to know -- attrickcrs don’t c a r ~ if your walk is very short. If you’re in their territory, you are not safe.

I am your driver on Tuesday and Friday nights. We may be slow once in a while, and for that I apologize, but wc care. Thank you very much for calling -- and thank yourself.

Keep abortion legal To thc Editor:

The recent Supreme Court decision in the Webstercase dealt a scvcrc blow to the rights of all women. It opcned the way for state by state rcstrictions on the availability of safe abortions, tightening government control ovcr women’s bodics. This deci- sion SCLS a dangerous precedent; with thrcc morc cases to bc heard hhis fall, by 1990 abortion could bc a criminal act.

This giant step backward to- ward thc pre-Roe vs. Wade back- allcy abortions cannot be tolcr- ated. Wc must kcep abortion le- gal; every woman has a right to control over her own body. We must kcep abortion safe; even illegally, the demand for abor- tions will be met -- at the price of women’s lives. We must keep abortions funded; safe abortions should not be dependent on eco- P IC barriers. We must let our bJgemment know that we sup-

Campus should relax To the Editor:

I am sure that I am not alone on this campus irked by Mia Mask’s letter, replete with its vit- riolic language and inane argu- ments. Whilc the letter’s flaws are numerous, I must take excep- tion to one of Mask’s statements - - “African Amcricans and pcople of color who really built this country.” The concept that one minority built everything in the United States is absurd.

This country was built by Amcricans: peoplc of all colors and religions who have toiled for hundreds of years to create what we have today. No one group should ever demand credit for the efforts of the many. Thoseat Tufts who composc such earnest, spe- cious statements should put aside thcir anger and attempt to present their ideas rationally. In the immortal wordsof P.J. O’Rourke, “Eamcs~ncss is just stupidity sent to collcge.” Maybc it is time for somc studcnts on this campus to relax.

Parking: A commuter’s view To the Editor:

Fmlicr in Ihc semester, I bought my $70 parking sticker which would allow me to park in any of the commuter spaccs on campus. Everything was going fine and I parked at the Hill Hall parking lot every day. Thc lot was opcn only to commuting studcnls, faculty, and to anyonc wilh a “valid pass.” Thc lot was never totally full, but

forty spaces on that sidc of the lot, there are nevcr more than 10 or 20 spaces taken. I noticed a fellow commuter’s car parhcd at the cdge of the resident lot and decided to park next to it.

As I left my car, anothcr com- muter parked next to us. Think- ing of the Tufts police as rational officers who would rathcr brcak up parties than give out tichets, I turned and walked to m y first class. After all, the rcsidcnt side of the lot was nearly empty, and surely the Tufts police must scc this when they inspect the lot every day. Knowing that thc commuter side was full and the

resident side was empty, the Tufts police would make allowanccs, wouldn’t they?

When I returned to my car at about 2:00, I found that not only my own car had been ticketed but the other two commuter cars as well. Not only were we ticheted, but we were ticketcd for fifty dollars. Icouldparkin the middle of the football field or drive the wrong way on a one-way street and not have to pay as much. Not that that matters, because I’m not going to pay the ticket at all. I hopc that the owners of the tan and white commuter cars who parkcd beside me refuse to pay

their tickets as well. Something has to be done about cornmuter parking. If the lot on the rcsident side is never full why not ‘I * I1 owa commuting student to park there? The only concession thc com- mutcrs really need is a good place to park, and should not have to park on-the strect after paying for a sticker that supposedly guaran- tees them a place to park ... in a parking lot! Or maybe we should use the system of parking de- scribed in the Zamboni; after all, the system we have now isn’t much better.

For some, the idea of contemporary art conjures up cold, modem and ab- stract images of a Radial tire nailed to a dining-hall tray splashed with neon paint. Many of us, having limited knowledge of the ins and outs of “art” are intimi- dated by these modem creations. We tend to circle the piece in question, frown, nod, step forward, step back and walkaway, inwardly clueless, but out- wardly appreciative.

Situationist art eliminates the icy aloofness of modem art. With its real- ism and originality, it moves even those afraid of contemporary art. Currently featured at the Institute of Contempo- rary Art, the exhibition, “On the Pas- sage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time: The Situation- ists International 1957-1972,” reflects the life of “everyman” and tackles the problem of remotcness in contempo- rary art. Undeniably contemporary with its use of technology as imagery (T.V. sets are a part of several pieces), the movement universalizes contemporary abstraction and “converts art from a precious, consumable object to a prin- ciple permeating daily life.”

Born in Paris, the movement fo- cused on contemporary society reflected through mass media and popular cul-

ture. The exhibit, shown in conjunction with the Musee Nationald’ Art Modern, Centres Georges Pompidou in Paris, introduces the work of an avant-garde movement of a loosely affiliated group of European artists. Works of Guy hbord (France), Asger Jorn (Denmark) and Giusseppi Pinot-Gallezio (Italy) are highlighted to illustrate these artists’ leadership in the movement. The medi- ums include painting, sculpture, litera- ture, and cinema as well as graphics, comics, posters and architecture. This rich hybrid of genrcs makes the exhibi- tion extremely appcaling, and there is a genre for everyone.

The “Detourned”paintings ofAsger Jorn epitomize the theme of the Situa- tionists. Jorn asks, “Why reject the old if you can modernize it with a few brushstrokes?” He uses traditional mediums and adds new dimensions with elaborate color schemes and nonuadi- tional designs. In his works, the viewer can recognize the familiarity of the paintings, however, the “few brush- strokes” revolutionize Jom’s paintings as he transforms a female into the head of a seal, and two males into colorful birds. Jorn calls for artists to “be up to date and distinguished at the same time.”

Also notable is the cinematic work of Frenchmen Debord. Although, as an act of protest since 1962, Debord has

prohibited the viewing of his films during his lifetime, his work is displayed through still photos with accompanying expla- nations. “Howls in Favor ot Sade,” his 80-minute film consisting of a white screen with accompanying dialogue and a black screen with silence, is particu- larly provocative, especially the last 24 minutes which is only a black screen and complete silence. Debord’s goal of paring down cinema to the bare essen- tials of sight and sound are typical of the movement as a whole. He creates a situation to stimulate dialogue.

The designers of the exhibition, Nigel Coates and Christopher Egret from Coates Architecture of London, incor- porate the urban theme of the move- ment by use of street lamp lighting and French municipal electoral panels to display various graphics. This combi- nation of politics and urbanization, together with the multi-level layout of the museum, are powerfully effective in uniting the exhibition with the move- ment itself.

Located-on 155 Bolyston St., Bos- ton, the ICA is open Wednesday-Sun- day 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursday-Saturday until 8 p.m. The Situationist exhibition runs through January 7. Admission is $3 for students with ID. Thursdays are free.

by EMILY DOHERTY AND ISABEL ROSEN

“WELCOMEVIRGINS! Since this is your first visit here, you’re lucky the king is in a good mood. Go wait in the dungeon, the dog beer is still brewing.”

This is how we were greeted when we arrived at the Medieval Manor, a theater-restaurant in Boston’s South End. When our host learned that we had never been there before, he immedi- ately labeled us virgins. He then checked our 1.D.s and, learning that we were underage, placed small orange stickers (which were easily removed) on our coat sleeves. We then proceeded to the cash bar, or “dungeon,” to wait for our table.

Within ten minutes our wench (wait- ress) called us to join a party of nine. Before we could sit down, she told us the king’s rules: no throwing food or people, no banging, no smoking and most importantly, no leaving the dining room without the king’s permission. She also appointed someone as her lord, who would have to clear everyone’s bowls at the end of each course. Enter- ing the dining room, where everyone was seated at tables of eight or twelve,

we realized this was not going to be a typical meal; there was no silverware on the table.

The jester brought pitchers of beer, wineandcider todrink while we shared a four foot long loaf of bread and lis- tened to drinking tunes. The audience began singing, clapping and drinking, and the king introduced his court of wenches, minstrels and jesters. As we became acquainted with the other vir- gins at our table, a minstrel dumped a large slice of pita bread covered with provolone cheese on the table. A moment later, he threw another one at us saying, “Have some more. I have to get rid of this shit.”

The meal proceeded with intervals of entertainment followed by the next course. Our wench filled our bowls with cream of vegetable soup, which she referred to as dragon soup. Emily slurped down this hearty blend of gar- den vegetables with gusto, but Isabel opted for the beast. This course con- sisted of spicy roast beef garnished with parsley and onions. While Emily, the vegetarian, watched in horror, Isabel Sunk her chompers into the rather dry but flavorful slabs of red meat. Even though we both love shrimp, we found the Cajun style peel-and-eat variety a

little too spicy. To put out the fires in our mouths, we had no choice but to chug down several glasses of dark, watery dog beer.

Apparently the rest of the audience did the same, because soon everyone was pleading with the king for a trip to Canterbury (the bathroom). After the bathroom brcak, our wench brought bowls of salad which we were supposed to “dip, not drip” into cups of Italian dressing. The main course finally ar- rived at around nine o’clock. The wench dropped a Cornish hen in each person’s bowl and left us to wrestle with it. Emily, the vegetarian, found it difficult to use her bare hands to twist and mangle the bones of a once-living creature just to secure a small morsel of white meat. Isabel, however, had no qualms about digging in and found the poultry quite good.

Throughout the meal, the waitstaff, or court, entertained us with song and dance. The crowd heartily participated in singing songs like “The Drunken Sailor.” Soon, thc crowd was in desper- ate nced for another quick voyage to the far-off land of Canterbury. This time, however, thc king wasn’t as lenient in granting his permission. He announced that it was time for “The Battle of the

Sexes.” The king chose a male and a female from the audience to engage in a jousting match and divided the room into teams. The two jousters had to placc a four foot loaf of bread between their legs. Of course, the king’s court capitalized on this opportunity to make sexual innuendos. Eventually, the man managed to break the woman’s loaf, because “he had more experience with this sort of thing.” His half of the room was immediately allowed to travel to Cantcrbuy. The entertainment concluded with more singing and an announce- ment of all of the special occasions that night.

Tufts and Somerville recently agreed on a design for a Univer- sity zoning plan that defines

campus boundaries. In return for the agreement, Tufts will drop its lawsuit against the city in the Massachusetts Land Court.

As part of the settlement, on Aug. 22, Land Court Chief Jus- tice Marylin Sullivan approved a “partial consentagreement” that permitted Tufts to oblain the build- ing permits for four campus con- struction projects: the Aidekman Arts Center, Phase 111 of the Campus Center, the major addi-

Magazine can seek TCU funding - TCUJ continued from page 1

lio since it will comc out more times a year.

Now that the magazine has been formally recognized as a new student organization, it can request buffer funding from the Allocations Board of the TCU Senate for future issucs.

Judiciary Chair Karen Vitale pointed out that a recognition of an organization does “not guar- antce Senate funding.”

Senator Stu Rosenbcrg said hat he thinks the two magazines are very much alike and is not in favor of funding two analogous organizations.

“If the themc of two maga- zines are the same and if an al- ready existing organization com- pletely overlaps and enhances the organization seeking rccognition, then I do not think it is necessary to add another organixation to an alrcady overflowing TCU,” he

said. The Media Advisory Board

agreed to recommend that the Judiciary recognix Quecn’s Had and Artichoke providcd that thc publication would not be using thc Observer’s type-setting equip- ment.

Also at its meeting, the Judici- ary unanimously passcd a bylaw calling for an appointed liaison with the Senate. The bylaw slates that a member of the Judiciary must be present at every Scnatc meeting in order to answer ques- tions concerning Judiciary legis- lation and procedures.

“The Senate Liaison a) shall attend Scnatc meetings b) shall not be a voting member c) shall have the opportunity to speak on issuesconcerning theTCUJ when recognized by the Senate Parlia- mentarian,” the bylaw reads.

Judiciary membcr Sue Danka was appointed as the Senate liai- son.

said. “There’s a lot of structure to come down. We have to expect that.”

As many as 150 people evacu- atcd from homes near the high- way were waiting to return, and officials said most would be al- lowed back Wcdnesday.

Work expccted to take at least a month continued on the frac-

Bridge, where workers removed a section of the lowcr deck Tues- day, leaving a gaping hole.

And as i f the quake hadn’t givcn Bay arca residcnts enough to worry about, damage to a rep- tile store in Oakland allowed 600 snakes and lizards to escape -- and on Wednesday 200 non-poi- sonous reptiles remained miss- ing.

tion to Wessell Library and the dormitory.

The construction of the $8 million arts centcr, which will be located behind Jackson Gym and Cohen Auditorium, began earlier this month. The complex is cx- pected to be completed in ap- proximately 16 months, yet addi- tional funds are still necded to completely finance the project.

Thc University hasargued that the Dover Amendment exempts

the school from thc zoning laws of the surrounding cities. The amendment is a state law that limits theability ofthecommuni- ties to regulate the use of land owned by non-profit educational institutions.

The amendment states that Tufts may be subject to certain reasonable regulations, but Uni- versity administrators maintain that the previous zoning ordinances were unreasonable for the school.

Although a settlement was reached with Somerville, nego- tiations are continuing with the city of Medford in regard to a zoningplan. Major building proj- e m planncd for thc Medford section of thc campus include the Olin Center for Language and Cultural Studies on the Residen- tial Quad, a ncw athletic complex at the Couscns Gym site and a 320-spacc parking garage on Boston Avenuc.

SPORTS Top-ranked Cortland out opponents

CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP) -- They aren’t the Monsters of the Midway, but the defensc being played this season by the Rcd Dragons of Cortland Statc is about as big-time as small-college foot- ball can get.

Cortland State has yiclded just one touchdown and two ficld goals in 28 quarters of football cn route to a 7-0 record and the top rank- ing among Division 111 tcams in the East.

The Red Dragons have shut out five teams so far, and have held opponents to an avcrage of just45 yardsrushingand XOyards passing per game.

“Our defense takes grcat pride in shutting down tcams,” said coach Dennis Kayser, who was a linebacker coach at Dartmouth

before taking over at Cortland State four years ago.

“We felt coming into the sea- son that we needed to build this club around agood solid defense. But there’s no way I could have predictcd they would be this dominating,” said Kayscr.

Trying to crack the Red Dragon defense has provcn to be a \tatis- tical nightmare for most tcams. In Cortland State’s season-opencr, for instance, Wilkes Collcge of Pcnnsylvania rushcd 45 timcs for a total of minus 46 yards.

In Cortland Slate’s first four games, opponents got insidc thc Red Dragons’ 30 yard line only thrcc timcs.

“Yeah, we’re wreaking some rcal havoc with our dcfcnsc,” said senior outsidc linebackcr Bob

St. shuts

Keith, the workhorsc of thc Re( Dragon defense.

“Coach told us in thc olT-s& son that the defense was going tc have to carry the tcam until thc offense clicks. We came into cam1 with the attitude that it was ou job not to let anybody scorc,’ said Keith, who’s sackcd oppos ing quarterbacks four timcs.

“It’s taken a lot of pressure of of us,’ ’ sophomore quartcrbacl Dick Puccio said about the de fense. “Not only can wc hc pa tient with thc ball, but moreoftel than not they make good lhing happen and make it casicr for u to score points.”

Defense of the Future guys really backed me up.”

For the record, thc freshman uhenom startcd in and auuearcd

by SEAN MELIA Daily Staff Writer

It was about a month ago, at a ‘In five games and had a record of crucial juncture of the season, 2-2- 1 in those games. He allowed coming off a thrilling 4-3 victory just five goals for a 1 .OO goals against Brandeis, that thc men’s against average. His rccord would soccer team was hit with terrible - probably have been better if the news. Goalkeepcr and teain cap- tain Jim Doykos suffcred a severe

thigh bruise that causcd swclling in his knee, hindcring his niobil- ity. He would be unablc to play for scveral games.

The news must have bccn dif- ficult to accept for the Jumbos at the time, for Doykos was a key cog in the Jumbo machine. But needing a goalie, coach Carl Christensen gave freshman Pat- rick Duffy the start against Colby. His impressive five-gamc stint assured the team of a depcndable kceper for the future.

When the Jumbos travcllcd up to Colby on October 1 to play on a ficld on which they had never won, they were without the serv- ices of their experienced starting goalie. Some doubts must have entered thc minds of the players. After all, the players werc used to Doykos’ goalkecping stylc and looked to him for leadership and moral support.

But it did not take long for the players to discovcr that thc young Duffy was a gifted netminder as well. When Duffy got his first collcgiate varsity start, hc felt “real excited but real apprchen- sive. Once I touched thc ball I calmed down.” Soon thc same team chemistry re-emergcd, simi- lar to before. Duffy notcd that during his tense moments, “the

Jumbos’ offensc was not suug- gling at thc time.

The team was riding a rocky road while Duffy was gaining valuable experience. In fact, one of his more memorablc moments came in a 1-0 loss to Bowdoin. “I felt pretty good and played prctty well,” the freshman recalls. “On that particular day I was feeling sick but my concentration level was up. I savedapenalty shot and made some nice saves.” Even though he kept his team in the game, the Jumbos still came out on the wrong side of the final score.

When Doykos was physically able to return for the Wheaton game last Wcdncsday, Duffy’s services were no longer needed. “Looking optimistically, I hoped I could stay in, but I actually expected to come out,” reports the rookie. “[Doykos] has the experience and the team looks to him for support.” So the captain retumcd and the freshman returned to the sidelines until his chance comes again.

Looking ahead to the futurc, the team has a valuable asset in Duffy. Eleven other varsity play- ers will return next season and will depend on Duffy’s abilities once again. Concerning the expc- rience he gained this season, he commented, “I’ll havea lot more confidence and the players will have confidence in me. I will have a clear mind and I won’t have to prove anything to any- one. ’’

some worry about whcthcr thc Jumbos would be able to pet up for the 2-9-2 Wheaton Lions. But those doubts were exorciscd early, as Tufts posted its fourth con-

secutive victory with a 3-0 trounc- ing of the Lions.

“[It was] quite differcnt from Saturday, but nonethcless a good win,” said scnior dcfendcr Mclissa Lowe. “This team was not as skillful [as Williams], but w e kept the intensity up.”

The Jumbos brokc out on top just four minutes into thc pamc. Junior defendcr Jackic Swan knocked a side-in down to thc penalty circle, where junior Aryn Landau scored her eighth goal of the year to give the Jumbos a 1-0

Icad. With this goal, thc junior has now scored goals in hcr last five games.

“The defensive playcr’s foot hit the ball so it was stationary, and Aryn came and put tlic ball in,” explained Tufts head roach Carol Rappoli. “It was nice to sce that the officlal hcld thc whisk We had two good officials ... a lot of officials would have called ita penalty comer immcdiatcly, but she waited to see if wc got an advantage.

Get the message? In ninc days, thc Rolling Stones (who have

gathered some moss, no matter how much they try to deny it) arc schcduled to play the Oakland Alamcda-County Co liseum.

The Stoncs, of course, are winding down what was probably the most ambitious tour in rock

history. Thcy Goeff Lepper feature a stage

that is so massive that it takes the road crew five

days to set it up. Unfortunately, in the aftcrmath of thc San Fran-

cisco quake, the Oakland A’s are schedulcd to play Game 6 of the Tragic Scries (if needed) next Tuesday. This is unfortunate because, obviously enough, that’s exactly five days beforc thc Stones

This is sheer lunacy. Thc fact that the Scries is going on is silly cnough, but the merc possibility of postponing it even more for the sake of giving an ultra-rich rock band’s roadie crcw fivc full days to set up a freaking stage is absolutely ludicrous.

Baseball Commisioner Fay Vincent should intercedc now in thc defcnsc of the A’s. He’s made the decision that “thc show must go on” -- now he must keep the Serics on schcdule.

Want to see an end-in-thc-making of a dy- nasty? Just kcep your eye on the Chicago Bears. People will say that it’s easy to cut down the Bears now that they’ve lost three straight, but they really simplf, haven’t lookcd like the same team that destroyed everyone on their way to a 1985 NFL championship.

The starting dcfensive line for Chicago in last Monday’s loss to Cleveland was a rookie left end, All-Pro left tackle Stcve McMichael, All-Fat right tackle William Perry, and a journeyman free agent right end.

Bernie Kosar, dcspitc a gimpy knee that allows him next to no mobility, cut the Bears apart with passes both short and long, including a 97-yarder to Westcr Slaughtcr that left Chicago cornerback Vestec Jackson so toasted that he would have made a good Pop-Tart.

The offcnse was so bad that MikeTomczak, the man H ho (supposcdly) was morc talented than thc charismatic-but-traded Jim McMahon, was yanked after 2 1/2 quarters, lcading his tcam to a total of 0 points. That’s zcro, spelled out. Jim Harbaugh did slightly bctter, managing to move Chicago into the cnd zonc once, but he simply wasn’l cnough.

It’s gotten so bad for the Bears that they have to use Neal Anderson (normally a halfback) as a flanker, and Dcnnis Gentry (normally a wide receiver) as a running back, because they need thc shock value to make a play work.

With All-Pro defensive lineman Richard Den1 and Dan Hampton on theshelf, the Bears look like they arc in for a long, long season.

Mcmbcrs of Tufts’ mcn’s cross- country tcam finishcd in first, sccond, and third place this Sat- urday, assuring thc Jum hos of victory over the Engincers of MIT

Men’s X-Country

in thc Jumbos’ only home match this season, 17-44.

Freshman Steve Swift hished ahcad of the pack for the gold mcdal with a time of 2638, fol- lowed by freshman Many Kcanc and junior Joel Rich, both with the time of 26:40.

Whilc Swift wcnt unchnllcngcd for first, Kcanc and Rich had to fight to the very cnd. Trailing Engineer Jim Garcia (fourth place, 26:41) for most of the way, thc duo didn’t pass him until therc wcre only five yards Icft to go, bcating him by a mere sccond.

Junior Eric Gyuricsko (27:06) and senior John Rcgan (27:12) crossed the linc shortly aftcr to give Tufts fivc of the top six positions.

“Swift, Kcane, and Rich ran vcry, vcry good races,” said hcad coach ConniePutnam. “Eric and John just made sure they wcrc in thc right plac es... Thcir timcs were a little slow, but I think guys wcre simply running in control and trying to keep thc racc in control, so wc didn’tget anybody h u r t out thcrc [as a result of thecoursc’s terrible condition].

“We ran pretty wcll,” he continued modcstly. “Our top five guys wcrc within 34 scconds of cach othcr, so that’s very good scoring.”

The team did not stop there, though. Junior Frank Anlippas (27: 19) and sophomorc JOC McEachcrn (27:23) finishcd in eighth and ninth, placing the top scvcn Jumbo runncrs all within onc minute of cach other.

observcd Putnam. “We kind of sat on their pacc and waitcd very patiently until thcy slowcddown.

“It’s always a vcry aggrcssivc meet for both tcams; i 1’s always a grudgc match. It’s an old rivalry, espccially now that Tufts has thc upper hand and MIT’s trying to gct back. ”

“It was amazing -- wc’re talk- ing about running through ten inchcs of water in some places. A lot of puddles werc cight to tcn inches deep.”

As a result of last week’s rain, the course was riddled with puddlcs and splattercd with mud. But, to the Tufts harriers, this proved to be a boon, for thcy knew thc coursc and MIT did not. “There isn’t a straight linc of approach to by any means.

Justice slaps back; Zsa Zsa Gabor gets three days in jail, BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP)

-- The law slapped back at Zsa Zsa Gabor with a three-day jail term for slapping a policcman, ending a circuslike case that left the actress unrepentant and her husband fuming.

“Yes, I’m upset,” said Miss Gabor’s eighth husband, Freder- ick von Anhalt, as he stormed down the steps of the courthouse after Tuesday’s sentencing. “I will ask the court if I can go to jail instead of my wife.”

Miss Gabor, a one-timc Hun- garian beauty queen belicved to be in her mid-60s to early 70s, snickered,smiledand madcquips as Beverly Hills Municipal Judge Charles Rubin announccd the sentence, peppering his statcments with rebukes and warnings.

“Now you laugh,” the .judge said, before lecturing Miss Gabor about the 25,000 Americans who die yearly in alcohol-relalcd ac- cidents. Among Miss Gabor’s misdemeanor convictions was driving with an open container of alcohol.

‘‘The law applies to evcryone, whether they are rich or poor and whether they are famous or not,” Rubin said before sentencing her.

“In the absence of extrcmely mitigating circumstances ... if you strike a cop, you go to jail.”

Along with the jail tcrm, the judge ordered Miss Gabor to pay $12,937.50 in fines and rcstitu- tions and to perform 120 hours of community service in a women’s homeless shelter, where shc may not talk about her case or give media interviews. Miss Gabor, who returned home after thc vcr- dict, was given until Dec. 29 to complete the jail sentencc.

She also was ordercd to be interviewed by a psychiatrist and to refrain from driving until she gets her real age on her driver’s license. During the trial, Miss Gabor claimed the licensc was stolen and altered by someone else.

The judge repeatedly attacked Miss Gabor’s demeanor insidc and outside of court, saying she was “milking this case for pub- licity” at the expense of the tax- payers who paid for the trial,

“She has demonstrated an attitude continually of contempt for law and order and these pro- ceedings, without a hint of re- morse or contrition of any kind,” the judge said. “And that is very

relevant to sentencing.” As Miss Gabor left the court-

room, she disputed the judge’s contention that she not only slapped a police officer, but the American people by her state- ments out of court that the United States was worse than the Sovict Union or Nazi Germany.

“I’m a very good American. I love America,” she said. “Why should I slap the face of Amer- ica?”

Miss Gabor, star of such B- filmsas “Queen ofouter Space” and “Picture Mommy Dead,” faced a maximum of 18 months in jail, and the judge warned that shecouldget morejail time if shc violated her parole.

The tempestuous celebrity slapped Officer Paul Kramer on June 14 after he stopped her Rolls- Royce convertible. The actress testified she instinctively struck Kramer after he roughed her up. Kramcr overreacted, she said, and used undue force in arresting her.

Besides the alcohol offense, a jury convicted Miss Gabor on Scpt. 29 of battery on a police officer and dnving without a valid drivcr’s license. She was acquitted of fail- ing to obey an officer. All the

charges were misdemeanors. “When she was first convicted,

we felt that the police department and Officer Kramer were vindi- cated,” said Lt. Robert Curtis, a police spokesman. “We certainly feel that this (sentence) is even further vindication.”

The trial drew more than 100 reporters, camera crews andpho- tographers from throughout the world.

The sentencing attracted aZsa

Zsa Gabor look-a-like, a man who wrote apoem for the trial, sevcral people wearing “Fry Zsa Zsa” buttons, a man with “John 3: 16” on a T-shirt and numcrous tour- ists with pocket cameras.

After the sentencing, a three- piece band played a drum roll as von Anhalt waked down the court steps, then later played a song written for the trial, with lyrics that included: “Zsa Zsa, she’s going to jail. She’s paying some fines now.”

Constraints The first question asked the

candidates to state their plans to contend with the decreasing state and federal financial support of the city.

Buonomo outlined two mcth- ods of increasing the city’s rcvc- nues -- through an expansion of the commercial tax base and the pursuit of state and federal grants and loans.

“I’d rather see kids playing basketball on a court than [seeing them] in a courtroom,” he said, emphasizing the importance of financial support of community

Capuano began his statement by berating the state for its tax policies and budget. “I don’t believe we can sit back and allow the state to go as its going,” he said, “we can’t afford it.”

“Taxes must be raised on the state level in a progressive man- ner,” he said, emphasizing that Somerville could not afford to tax its residents or extract more revenues from businesses unless the impact is minimal.

Capuano suggested that more coordination and efficiency by the city government efforts would prevent wastage and overlapping and assist Somerville in coping with fiscal shortages.

The Somerville Theatre When asked how he would

‘‘preserve and strengthen” the arts in Somerville, Capuano re- sponded, “I was told that there are more artists per capita than any city in America, or even the world.” Although he said that he would support the arts as fully as possible, he took into account the fiscal constraints facing the city. “If we can maintain what we have, we are doing a.good job,” he said.

On the issuc of the Somerville Theatre and the possibility that it may be closed down, Capuano is actively supporting the preserva- tion of the theater. He recently assisted the theater in acquiring historical preservation status.

Buonomo said that he had recently spoken’ with a developer and they discussed the possibility of keeping a certain portion of ticket sales from the theater to fund arts activities in Somerville.

Rights Bill,a state bill which will prevent discrimination based on sexual orientation, especially in housing, employmentand receiv- ing credit. Buonomo came out with three definitive suggestions to prevent discrimination against the homosexual community in Somerville. He said that, if nec- essary, he would issue an execu- tive order banning all forms of discrimination. He said that he would appoint a liaison between the mayor’s office and the homo- sexual community once in office and said he would continue to actively support the Gay and Lesbian Civil Rights Bill at the State House.

“Everyone deserves civil rights, basic human rights [and] deccncy regardless of sexual ori- entation,” he stated. When asked how he would contend with homophobia in the community, he poind to education and aware- ness as thc key to success. “Homophobia in this community needs to bc dcalt with ... we need to sit down and discuss with people the issues.”

Capuano said that gay and lesbian rights were simple civil rights that must be guaranteed. “That’s what America is all about and Somerville shouldn’t be any diffcrent,” he said.

On the issue of homophobia, Capuano said that he was pre- pared to face the issue head on. “When it comes to an issue like this, I’m not afraid to speak out ... If there IS a problem in this com- munity, its thc mayor’s role to speak out,” he said.

“No Excuses” Following a question on how

the candidatcs will contend with violence against women if they takc office, Capuano provided a numbcr of statistics to put the issuc in context. He said that in Somerville, 1 100 rcstraining or- ders related to domestic violence werc issued last year and he police department rcceived 971 calls relating to domestic violence, 421 of them related to actual assaults. Hc continucd his list and stated that every 17 days, a woman in Massachusctts is murdered by her husband or boyfriend.

“There can be no excuses, alcohol, drugs, therc are no ex- cuscs ... it cannot bc tolerated,” he said. His strategy to prevent the violcncc includes bolstering the Somervrllc Policc Domestic

Violence Department which cur- rently only has three officers in it andestablishingsheltcrsfor those seeking refuge from household violence.

Buonomo also said that he abhorred violence directed against women. Hc pointed out that with only five ,women on the Somer- villcpolicc force, the police were not well equipped to deal with sensitivity to violence against women.

‘‘I believe every police officer should be trained to sensitivity to violence ... our officers should be able to deal with the situation at the origin,” Buonomo said.

The Necessity of Child Care Child care and the steps the

candidates would take to insure child care for residents of Somcr- ville was a question that struck a personal note with the candidates. Capuano, father of two children, said that “child care is an abso- lute necessity that this socicty as a whole, not just Somerville, has ignored ... we need to do all we can to address it,” he said.

Capuano said that he has been working actively on zoning pro- posals which include a child care linkage, a stipulation providing that companies with a physical structure larger than a stated size must include provisions for child care for employees. .

‘.‘Ithas to beapriority bccausc many women cannot work and are forced into a life of poverty because they .cannot find afford-, able day care,” Capuano said.

Buonomo said that, contingcnt upon a successful campaign, his first priority for child care would be to make child care facilities “in my own backyard, City Hall” for City Hall employees. “I do believe that City Hall employees should enjoy the benefits of day care,” Buonomo said.

Buonomo, like Capuano, said that child care is an important issue to him personally as he is

abortion in Massachusetts, Buon- omo said that he has “no inten- tions to support any candidate who is not pro-choice” in their campaign for a seat in thc State House.

Apart from these views, the candidates also providcd their positions on pay equity, immi- grants and prejudices against 4

immigrants, handicap access, crime and the police, education, youth services and Somerville’s Community Access Television.

Moderators at the two hour forum kept the discussion at a calm level. During the first fo- rum, which was held on Oct. 17, there was considerable noise and unruly behavior, according to comments made by those attend- ing Tuesday’s forum.

Candidates Comment on TuftslSomerville Relations After the forum, the candi-

dates gave their comments on relations between Tufts Univer- sity and Somerville. The school and the city recently negotiated an end to the conflict over the University’s expansion into sur- rounding communities and the city’s attempt to use zoning laws to prevent the expansion. The agreement, made in August, de- fined campus boundaries and al- lowed for Tufts to construct a number of new buildings on campus without Somerville zon- ing laws to prevent the construc- tion.

Capuano characterized the agreement as “reasonable” and was pleased to see a decrease in tension between the University and Somerville.

Buonomo said that he did not want to see either Somervillc or Tufts adversely effected by the ,

disagreement and was also pleased with the resolution. Tufts and Somerville should work togcther to find out how they can benefit each other, particularly with Tufts’ “wealth of resources,” Buonomo

engaged to be married and is expecting to have children.
