Video cameras and reporters from every major television station in the area crowded in Regina Hall yesterday for President William Hickey’s dec laration of Rosenkranz’s contri bution to Saint Mary’s College to fund an endowed chair in the performing arts, which will underwrite a professor’s annu al salary and support scholarly research. . Rosenkranz, a 1961 gradu ate, is the first alumna to fund an endowed scholarship. Her pledge will be a gift to the $30 million Sesquicentennial Cam paign for Saint Mary’s. The campaign, which was initiated publicly just last month, is expected to last three to five years. Rosenkranz’s do nation is the largest thus far. “Saint Mary’s gave me the confidence that built me up and made me the person that I am today.” Rosenkranz said. Through her contribution, she hopes. Saint Mary’s will be able to continue their tradition of an excellent faculty and ad ministration. “The pledge is a signal of confidence and inspiration to the alumnae, students, and fac Guide to aid course choices By HEATHER TOMLINSON News Writer ulty of Saint Mary’s,” Hickey said yesterday. Rosenkranz, a New York na tive, arrived at Saint Mary’s when she was seventeen. After suffering from the loss of her father when she was twelve, Rosenkranz became deter mined to commit her efforts towards her academics. These efforts were rewarded, and she received a generous scholar ship to Saint Mary’s. After graduating from Saint Mary’s with a major in Chris tian Culture, now known as Humanistic Studies, Rosenkranz attended law school. Later she practiced corporate, criminal and enter tainment law. After retiring to raise a family, she decided to begin producing plays. “Oleanna” is a play about the contemporary concern of sex ual harassment. The play was performed in New York for six teen months before kicking off its Midwest tour. Rosenkranz made certain that a perfor mance at Saint M ary’s O’Laughlin Auditorium was on the agenda. “This play is so good intellec tually. When you’re a student, you need to think. And whether or not you like this play, it will make you think,” said Rosenkranz. Besides the presentation of her pledge yesterday, Rosenkranz supplied the Saint Mary’s community with some helpful advice. see DONATION / page 4 Last week students all over Notre Dame’s cam pus were again thinking about choosing a new semester’s course load. Also last week, The Guide was again being distributed to mailboxes all over campus, so that students may be aided in the process of choosing. The Guide is a student publication of course evaluations, and contains assessments of such factors as professors, texts, class requirements, and difficulty of courses. Its purpose is to aid undergraduate students in the process of choosing courses by providing can did, reliable information. This information is a compilation of student responses to question naires distributed to participating teachers. A few changes were made to this year’s edi tion to facilitate use. Fonts have been changed to make statistics easier to read. Information has also been organized by college this year, as opposed to the alphabetical order used in the last two editions. According to Susan McCabe, co-commissioner along with Andrew Eifert, The Guide staff hopes to include advertisements in the next edition, in order to acquire funds for further improvements. McCabe said that students were very helpful in filling out the questionnaires which they received. She stated, however, that The Guide staff hopes' for more participation from profes sors in the future. McCabe estimated that about the same number of teachers volunteered to have their classes evaluated this year as in years past. With this number, she says, all majors are not as well rep resented as The Guide staff would like. Response from professors who were featured in this edition of The Guide seems to be positive. “It is good for students to hear from other stu dents and for the faculty to be exposed to cri tique,” said Professor Theodore Mandell whose course, Introduction to Film and Video Production, was evaluated, He does worry that students may use The Guide as a means of choosing classes based sole ly on how easy they appear to be. For students 1 1 ' The Observer/Brandon Candura The Guide is a student publication which evaluates the professors, texts, and difficulty of University courses. who are looking for an honest evaluation of courses, however, he feels that The Guide is “very beneficial.” Professor Jay Brockman was listed as a mem ber of The Guide’s “Hall of Fame” for receiving an average overall rating greater than 4.5 on a 5 point scale. Brockman believes that “students want to take good classes,” even if that involves being chal lenged. He feels that students use The Guide wisely. Brockman’s concern regarding the book see GUIDE / page 4 Population problems prompt social questions G o u let: e c o n o m y sh o u By PATRICK BELTON News Writer America must develop an economy based on needs rather than on wants in order to address the problems ac companying the massive growth of population, Notre Dame Professor Denis Goulet said last night. In fact, the World Bank h a s described the unprece- dented growth in the world’s population as “the greatest challenge to the human rea son,” according to Goulet. Currently at 5.7 billion, the count of the human race may reach as much as 28 billion in the next 150 years. Thanks to vaccines, better hygiene, and cleaner water, population growth is occurring twice as fast as it was in 1950. It is likely that its speed will double again before 2020. The problems accompanying this massive growth concerned the governments of the world enough to make them convoke an international conference Goulet last month in Cairo. The earth is capable of sup porting such a sizable human population, Goulet said. “LButJ at what level of con sumption, and in what system of distribution?” he asked. Ninety-five percent of the world’s population growth takes place in the nations of the third world, so the question of overpopulation is intricately linked to that of poverty, he said. Overconsumption by the wealthier nations is also at is sue, since their citizens—while only constituting one-fourth of the earth’s population—con sume two-thirds of its re sources and produce three- fourths of its pollution. As an example, Dr. Goulet cited an instance in which an entire forest in Papa New Guinea was destroyed to make chopsticks for Japan. In spite of these two chal lenges, says the World Bank, the governments of the world must guide development in such a way that it is “equitable and sustained.” UNICEF has identified a vi cious circle between popula tion, poverty, and environment: overpopulation leads to pover ty; poverty brings about more population growth; and popu lation and poverty both assault the limited natural resources of the environment. “Kids are an economic asset,” Goulet said. A difference of opinion sepa rates those who believe policy should attack population growth indirectly by alleviating poverty, and those who favor attacking it directly through contraception and abortion. This difference was very ap parent at the recent Cairo con ference in the battle between the United States and the Ro man Catholic Church. In the end, the Vatican only partially endorsed the conclusions of the conference. Dr. Goulet pointed out that Robert Malthus, a nineteenth century demographer, was wrong in predicting that the world’s population would grow faster than its food supply. “Since 1951, food production has far outstripped popula tion,” he said. He noted that his interest in population growth and devel opment followed naturally from his first master’s degree in phi losophy. “Philosophers’ big debates of human reason and so forth are being fought out in the ques tions of poverty,” he said. C h u rch e x a m in e sta n d By CHRIS CORRENTE News Writer The recent alarming trend in population growth may “prompt the Church to recon sider its positions on artificial birth control,” according to George Howard, professor of psychology. Howard’s comment came in a discussion last night prompt ed by a United Nations confer ence held in Cairo this past September in which worldwide delegates met to discuss the problem of population growth. The conference adopted a plan of action addressing negative and positive popula tion trends as well as develop mental problems and its rela tion to third world countries. “While the Church’s teach ing against artificial means of birth control was quite appro priate for a far less densely populated world,” Howard said, “given the reality of the modern world, I find that it is inconsistent with the spirit of Christianity within the Gospels.” Howard claimed that the solution to environmental problems, such as global warming, will become increas ingly difficult as population continues to grow. In this sense, Howard said that although parts of the ideal solution are contained in the Church’s teachings, the Church is a hindrance because of the limitation of time. “This is something we must get right quickly or suffer its consequences,” Howard said. Maura Ryan, assistant professor of theology, who, along with Howard, led the discussion, said that while the Church has never approved of the use of artificial birth con trol, it has supported limiting the population. She claimed that the voice of the Church was prophetic in the popula tion debate through its insis tence for an adequate approach to controlling the alarming growth. Ryan said that the Church has long presupposed what Cairo called a new consensus, that “birth rate control pro grams alone are an inadequate and inappropriate substitution for an international commit ment” to solving the problem. Ryan added, however, that the Church has failed to take see CHURCH / page 4

As the end of the se m es te r approaches, m ost s tu d e n t’s job se a rch e s a re ju s t getting underw ay . For a liberal a r ts s tu d e n t th is is especially challenging as you need to sell yourself to firm s an d bu si­nesses.

It’s even m ore challenging though w hen the people a t C areer and P lacem ent do no t seem to th ink you’ll have too m uch luck.

Most liberal a r ts s tuden ts accep t from the beg inn ing th a t they will m eet w ith ce rta in dif­ficulties upon looking for a job . Many com pa­n ies th a t p re fe r to h ire liberal a r ts s tuden ts can n o t afford to rec ru it on college cam puses.It is also generally understood th a t publishing jo b s and the like need to be sough t ou t in the la rg e cities such as New York o r Chicago.

W ithout a doubt th e re a re lim itations on how m uch a university can do in placing libe r­al a r t s tu d en ts in c a re e r track jobs.

Yet th is should not m ean th a t a liberal a r ts m ajo r does not have a chance to secu re a job from the confines of N otre Dam e. But u n fo r­tunate ly , the prevailing a ttitude in C areer and P lacem ent is far from encourag ing for ju s t these studen ts.

In last w eek ’s Scholastic the d irec to r of C a ree r and P lacem ent, Kitty A rnold, b la tan tly described A rts & Letters s tu d en ts as having “questionab le m arketab ility .”

As a s tu d e n t in A rts & Letters, I w ould p e r ­sonally like to thank Ms. A rnold for h e r vote of confidence. I am su re all those here a t N otre D am e choosing to m ajor in the liberal a r ts w ould w an t to th an k h er as well.

C areer and P lacem ent’s negative attitude tow ards s tu d en ts seeking jobs w ith non-busi­n ess or non-com puter re la ted backgrounds is evident. A rts & Letters s tu d en ts a re not m ade to feel overly com fortable in the b asem en t of th e H esburgh Library. A dm ittedly, I had a good experience in m eeting w ith a s ta ff m em ­b e r one on one for guidance, yet th e re is not m uch m ore support beyond tha t. I w ould like m ore th a n a sm all, cram m ed “c a re e r lib rary ” to assis t m e in finding work.

A lot o f g rea t un iversities do no t have u n d e rg ra d u a te colleges of business. Schools like N orthw estern and the U niversity of Chicago, w hile having renow ned MBA p ro ­g ram s, do no t even have an u n d e rg rad u a te school o f business. W hat a re th e ir sen iors doing in May? Are they feverishly hun ting in a tiny “c a re e r lib rary ” th rough a book called “Jobs for English M ajors and o th e r S m art P eople?”

No one den ies a liberal a r t s tu d e n t’s job se a rch is very challenging. But this challenge is not m ade any easie r w hen the C areer and P lacem ent serv ices a t your university does not encou rage you.

The Holy Spirit is d ragging us, k ic k in g a n d s c r e a m in g , to change the s ta tu s of w om en in th e C atholic C hurch acco rd ing to F a th e r Tim F itzg e ra ld from the C enter for P asto ral Liturgy.

F itzgera ld , along w ith L au ra G rim es, a PhD c a n d id a te an d un iversity theology teach er, d is­cu ssed th e C h u rch ’s re fu sa l to o r d a in w o m e n a s p r i e s t s in “T h e R o le o f W o m e n in th e C hurch ”

“ I a m in a p e a c e f u l p la c e a b o u t m o s t is s u e s w ith in th e Catholic C hurch a fte r m uch tu r ­moil, questioning an d p ray ing ,” said Grimes.

W om en and m en a re of equal d ig n i ty a n d v a lu e a n d a r e equally c re a te d in the im age of God in the eyes of th e Catholic Church, she said.

P o p e J o h n P a u l II, in h is s ta tem en t concern ing w om en in th e p r ie s th o o d , p re a c h e s g e n ­d e r e q u a li ty b u t a t th e sa m e t im e m a in ta in s t h a t w o m e n ca n n o t be o rd a in e d as p riests , sighting two m ain reasons, said Grimes.

The firs t re a so n , she sa id , is th a t C hris t w as w idely re c o g ­n ized as c o u n te rc u ltu ra l , an d th e r e f o r e m u s t h a v e s u r ­ro u n d e d h im se lf w ith all m ale apostles for som e rea so n o ther th a n to keep w ith a cu ltu ra l t r a ­dition of sublim ating wom en.

The second rea so n given, she said , is the im age of Christ as a b r id e g r o o m o f th e f e m in in e C h u rc h . T h is im a g e , t a k e n f ro m E p h e s i a n s 5 , c a l l s fo r m u tu a l s u b o rd in a t io n w ith in m a r r ia g e r a th e r th a n fo r th e dom inance of one p a r tn e r over the o ther.

D is a g r e e in g w ith G r im e s ’ "peace” w ith the C hurch’s posi­t io n , F i t z g e r a ld s a id , “T w o popes in a row h av e given r e ­s p o n s e s to q u e s t io n s a b o u t w o m en ’s ro le s th a t a r e qu ite frankly, no t convincing people a t all. . . W om en a re serving as

pastors; counselors and leaders of p ray e r righ t now. They are o rd a in ed , no t from th e official C hurch au thority , b u t from the bottom up; from the ir activity in p arishes a round the w orld .”

“T ry a s i t m ig h t ,” s a id F itzgerald , “the C hurch canno t m ake the question of change in l e a d e r s h i p r o le s w i th in th e C h u rch go aw ay . T he C h u rch h as changed its m ind on e n o r­m ous issues in the past, an d it is n o w w a i t in g fo r th e H oly Spirit to tell us we can change our m ind on th is m a tte r .”

“T h e r e s p o n s e s P o p e J o h n Paul gives for why w om en ca n ­n o t be o rd a in e d , re f le c t s im ­plistic and selective read ings of th e New T estam en t.”

It d o es n o t fo llow th a t th e f irs t tw elve fo llow ers of C hrist w ere m en th e re fo re all su b se ­q u e n t p r ie s ts sh o u ld be m en , according to F itzgerald.

“ I am p la n t in g th e s e e d s . P re p a rin g the n ex t g en e ra tio n of m in iste rs for th e change th a t is n e e d e d . In m y m in is te r ia l ex p e rien ce of th e C hurch , o u r ro le h a s b ee n to ed u c a te p e o ­ple. In becom ing educated , you have every rig h t to ra ise q u es­tions. To in fact becom e critical th in k e r s is w h a t e d u c a tio n is a b o u t. A sk ing q u e s tio n s is a skill n ecessa ry to becom ing an analytical th in k e r,” he said.

Im patience and d isagreem ent a re no r e a s o n s to w a lk aw ay from som eth ing . Som ething is c le a r ly d y in g in te rm s o f o ld hab its and trad itions and som e­th in g is b e in g b o r n s im u l­taneously, said F itzgerald .

W h e n w e h a v e C h u rc h a u ­thority say ing th a t these q u es­tions m ust no t be talked about, “th e n a t iv e s a r e p ilin g w ood a ro u n d th e ir [C hurch le ad e rs ] feet as they s tan d th e re w ith a c ig a r e t te l ig h te r . T h e se a r e questions th a t will not go aw ay” said F itzgerald.

G rim es exp la ined h e r accep ­ta n c e of the C h u rch ’s position say ing , “It is n o t my p e rso n a l

opinion th a t w om en should not be o rd a in ed p riests . B ut I ac ­cep t the C hurch’s teach ing a u ­thority. “

“Because I resp ec t and agree w ith C hurch teach in g on o th e r m a tte rs such as sex u ality an d ab o r tio n , I am w illin g to say , m aybe I w as w rong (abou t the o r d in a t io n o f w o m e n ) ,” s a id Grimes.

“I can see w hy peo p le w a n t a b o r tio n o r w hy it is m isc o n ­s t r u e d a s b e in g p ro -w o m e n . But th e re a re two m ain reasons w hy it is n o t p ro -w o m e n , b u t ra th e r harm ful to w om en,” she said.

“First, is th e scientific reality th a t w hat is abo rted is a child. Second , th e ph y sica l an d psy­chological h a rm s to w om en are to o g r e a t . M en , a s w e ll a s w o m en , n ee d to ta k e r e s p o n ­sibility for p a re n tin g , and p a r ­en ting m ust be a m ore honored duty. If, th rough abortion , we can now abandon o u r children, w e a r e ta k in g on a n e g a tiv e m ale ro le o f a b a n d o n in g ch il­d ren . This is not p rogress, it is a n o n -so lu tion th a t h u r ts bo th m en and w om en,” she said.

N ext, G rim es a d d re s s e d the C hurch’s stance on p re -m arita l sex.

“The C hurch holds th a t sex is a com plete gift o f self w hich is open to life. It req u ires a m u ­tu a l r e s p o n s ib i l i ty a n d c o m ­m i tm e n t o f b o th m e n a n d w om en. It does no t u se a po ­te n t i a l ly d a n g e r o u s d r u g to m a k e th e w o m a n s e x u a l ly availab le .”

The C hurch is defend ing im ­p o r ta n t v a lu e s , a c c o rd in g to Grimes.

She w en t on to note th a t the fem inist characteristics of these teach ings could no t hail from a sexist Church.

“It is inco rrec t to perceive the C hurch as n o t w a n tin g to a d ­d ress equality or fem inism . To th e C h u rc h , fe m in ism is n o t som ething evil or to be ignored. T h e p o p e s u p p o r t s e q u a l i ty w ith his w ords,” she said.

C am pus M inistry.... ..CONSIDERATIONS

ADD A RISK TO YOUR SCHEDULE

We approach that time o f the year again — making decisions and plans for next semester. Many variables may com e into play. D o you have a good enough DART time to get into the 10:00 section instead o f the 8:00? If the 10:00 is closed, can you take the class next year, or will you be setting that alarm considerably earlier than you would prefer? Should you get your fine arts requirement out o f the way or take a philosophy course?

W hile you set up your academic, work study, volunteer and play time, please stop to consider adding something new. It’s called Comm unities N D . Started in January 1993, Communities N D offers undergraduates at Notre Dame a way to form great connections with one another, often with people you might otherwise never have met. In groups o f eight to ten men and women who meet together every other week, conversations go beyond — way beyond — those “five basic questions”: name, hall, hometown, year and major. It’s a more realistic way to meet good friends than an SYR (and you don’t have to get dressed up!), and it’s much easier to hear each other than in a roomful o f people squished together with lots o f beer and a very large C D player.

Com m unities N D is an opportunity — we believe, a wonderful opportunity — to meet new people, to read the Gospels with others, to talk and learn about your faith, and perhaps to reach out together to others. As one student said o f Comm unities N D the other night, it’s a chance to form relationships in a different way, because we don’t easily talk about our faith together.

Good relationships involve risks: think about the last time you shared a secret, or let another person get to know your weaknesses as well as your strengths. However, good relationships can also be fulfilling and challenging — they can make us much better people that we would be otherwise. Jean Vanier, that very holy man who won the Notre Dame Award last spring, says that in community, we discover that “a com m unity is not simply a group o f people . . . it is a current o f life, a heart, a soul, a spirit. It is people who love each other a great deal and who are all reaching towards the same hope. We have no need to play a role, to pretend to be better than the others, to demonstrate prowess in order to be loved. We have discovered that we are loved for ourselves, not for our intellectual or manual skills.”

Com m unities N D is about to “launch” a third group o f small communities. Nearly 200 people came in 1993 and 1994 to give Communities N D a try — that’s almost 400 undergraduates who have been willing to take a risk, to at least dip their toes in the water. As the ingredients o f next semester fall into place, think about including Communities N D in the mix. Sign ups for Com m unities N D are from November 28 to December 20 (after Thanksgiving till the end o f the semester), in either campus Ministry office

— Hesburgh Library or Badin Hall. Any undergraduate is most welcome to sign up. Campus Ministry will set up the groups according to your class year and your schedule. O n January 21, 1995, at the third annual Communities N D Rally Day, you’ll meet the members o f your new community and get started. Think about taking this wonderful chance — it could be one o f the best decisions you make for next semester!

I am w riting in response to the insults hurled a t com puter consu ltan ts by Ciscley Elliot in the Inside Column on Nov. 15, 1994 . I h av e b ee n a c o n s u lta n t fo r tw o -a n d -a -h a lf years, and I would like to respond to som e of h e r u n w a r­ran te d attacks.

M aybe it is “ju s t b ecau se [she is] so obviously a f re sh ­m an" th a t she does not know th a t we, as consu ltan ts, a re not req u ired to know every service available on the in te rn e t (of w hich th e re a re thousands, a t least), or every p rog ram th a t ex ists .(their num bers a re also in the thousands). We a re also studen ts, and our job is to help the u se rs to our best ability. We increase our know ledge by a ttend ing c lass­es abou t certa in frequently used, OUC-supported so ftw are packages and services. This m axim izes our ability to assist users.

T hrough personal experience, som e consu ltan ts a re m ore know ledgeable of certa in packages and services th an o th ­ers, and so if we can help a u se r w ith a non-supported p ro ­g ram we will. The IRC is not such a service. It is m erely a “ch a t ch a n n e l” th a t allows a person to join d ifferen t con­v e rsa tio n s a b o u t ce rta in top ics (som e of w hich I 'm su re your m other w ould not approve). Both a t Notre Dame and a t o the r schools, it is not necessary to subscribe to IRC to ta lk to your friends.

M aybe E lliot e n c o u n te re d one o r tw o co n su lta n ts w ho se e m e d “as d en se as th e p o o r d is tra u g h t s tu d e n ts ," or m aybe they w ere ju s t having a bad day (it happens to the best of us). E ither way, she has no call to lump every con­su lta n t in to a ca teg o ry th a t b e a rs th e d escrip tio n “lazy, non-science m ajors [science m ajors DO w ork in the labs], clueless sods..."

I am not insulting the “slave[s] a t the North Dining Hall," bu t they do not have to be evaluated on the ir p rog ress and techn iques tw ice a sem ester. They are not initially h ired on the b as is of th e ir specific skills, as co m p u ter co n su ltan ts are , and they a re not requ ired to a ttend classes designed to im p ro v e th e ir kn o w led g e an d ab ilitie s . M aybe if E llio t sp e n t m o re tim e w o rk in g an d less tim e c h a ttin g on the ever-so-addictive In ternet, she could get one of the consul­ta n t jobs th a t she thinks a re so “cushy .” But sh e ’d b e tte r le a rn a little abou t com puters first.

What being Catholic m eans in the face of tragedyIf th e d isc u ss io n a b o u t th e C atho lic

c h a r a c t e r o f N o tre D am e a n d S a in t M a ry ’s a p p e a r s u n e n d in g , t h a t is because one can never get to the bottom of questions abou t identity—w h eth e r of ind iv iduals o r in stitu tions. The p rocess of exploring the issues of Catholic iden ti­ty, how ever, need not be only academ ic o r ju s t tedious. We could teach ourselves to look for signs of au then tic Catholic life (or becom e sensitive to the ir absence) in the o rd inary events a round us. A fter all, w h a t a co llege o r u n iv e rsity explicitly te a c h e s a b o u t C atholic b e lie f is no t all th a t m a tte rs , though indeed it m atte rs . How we live from day to day is the u lti­m ate te s t o f Catholic fidelity.

F rom th e co u n tless e x p e rie n c e s th a t cou ld be co n s id e re d in re la tio n to the q u e s tio n o f th e C a tho lic c h a r a c te r o f SMC and ND, today th e re is one type of e v e n t on w h ich I w a n t to re f le c t. Is th e re any th ing th a t exh ib its a Catholic s e n s ib il i ty in th e w ay w e re s p o n d to tragedy? At a la te r tim e I’ll w rite about o u r response to national o r global c a ta ­strophes. But for now, le t’s th ink of s itu ­a tions closer to hom e: the sw im te am ’s bus acciden t not so long ago; the sudden d e a th of you r ro o m m a te ’s m o th e r; the d iagnosis th a t you or som eone you love has cancer; the divorce of your paren ts; the suicide of som eone w ho is clinically d ep ressed although you ca n ’t recognize it as a d isease ra th e r th an “the blues." The list could go on forever, bu t you get th e po in t. An in fo rm ed an d im p a rtia l o b se rv e r visiting these cam puses could say w hen these th ings a re happen ing in Le M ans o r P lan n e r Hall o r w h erev e r, “You surely know th is is a Catholic place by the w ay people respond."

In my estim ation , the ND-SMC com m u­n ity n e v e r sh o w s i ts e lf m o re C atho lic th a n in su c h s i tu a t io n s o f d e s p e r a te hu m an suffering. (One could sim ply say “C h r is t ia n ," r a t h e r th a n “C a th o lic ," although th e re is a point in specifically

invoking the w ord “Catholic," especially b e c a u s e tr a g e d ie s invo lve r i tu a ls .) In m ost ca se s w h ere trag e d y s tr ik e s SMC or ND, w e a p p e a r to rise to the occasion in a g en u in e ly C atho lic w ay.

w i th in r e c e n t m o n th s t h a t fo r m e poignantly exhibit the Catholic ch a rac te r of SMC and ND. Last spring, P rofessor Liz Noel o f the SMC English d ep a rtm en t died afte r a long bout w ith cancer. Her colleagues w ere w ith h e r day and night in th e h o sp ita l a s d e a th a p p ro a c h e d .

Liz had no family in South Bend. The College p ro v id ed its e le g a n t S tap le to n Lounge in Le M ans Hall for the service. T he only o th e r w akes 1 can rem e m b er b e in g h e ld th e r e w e r e fo r S is te r M adeleva and M arion M cCandless, the g rea t lady who gave h e r life to building the A lum nae A ssociation.

B u t e v e n m o re , 1 w a s s t r u c k by th e Catholic sensib ilities of the m em bers of the English d ep a rtm en t who p lanned the se rv ic e —even th o u g h se v e ra l o f th em a re no t Catholic.

Liz h a d been an a rd e n t o p e ra lover. A t th e w ake they played h e r favorite a ria , T Live for A rt” from “Tosca."

W hat m ade th a t w ake service so p ro ­foundly Catholic for m e w as how it w as m a d e g en u in e ly p e rso n a l. T h is w ak e w as m o re th a n “litu rg ic a lly c o rre c t" ;

th a t gathering expressed the un iqueness of the person being w aked and the c h a r ­ac teris tic Catholic sense of the bonding of a com m unity by ritu a l. And w h a t a ritual: the best of the Catholic trad ition to h o n o r s u c h a c u l tu r e d C a th o l ic wom an.

Now on tou r h e re in A m erica first w ith They Might Be Giants, a n d n e x t w ith T h e V io le n t Fem m es, and p lanning a spring U.S. tour on th e ir own, F re n te ’s fan base is grow ing faster than ever. W ith Angie H art’s child­like ye t in te lle c tu a l lyrics and the carefully construc ted “an ti­ro c k ” so u n d b u ilt a ro u n d h e r q u ir k y v o c a ls , F r e n te h a s a u n iq u e fo lk sy g ro o v e se ld o m h ea rd from anyone else.

In a phone in te rv iew , I had th e c h a n c e to a s k H a r t a n d Sim on A u stin (g u ita r , v o ca ls , program m ing) a few questions:

How did Frente get its start?S im o n : It w a s a b o u t five

y ears ago and we used to m eet a t th is b a r called the P u n te r’s C lub. W e w o u ld ju s t p lu g in som e in s tru m e n ts and play, a t f irs t w e w ere ju s t a joke. We w e r e p la y in g to a b u n c h o f d rink ing pool players. Actually th e P u n te r ’s Club is k ind of a g r u n g e b a r n o w . A n y w ay , eventually we found Angie and got "Labour of Love” (their first EP) together.

Angie, when you jo ined the band you were only a teenager. H ow h a s w o rk in g w ith th is b a n d a t su ch a y o u n g age affected how you grew up?

Angie: It has definitely m ade m e a lo t m ore con fiden t. I t’s r e a l ly h e lp e d m e f ig u re o u t w hat I’d like to do w ith my life.

Has becoming fa irly fam ous and traveling to all these differ­

en t p la ces changed the w ay you write your lyrics?

Angie: If anything, it’s m ade m e ev e n m o re in tro s p e c t iv e , l ik e f ro m h a n g in g o u t w ith adults all the tim e.

What were your influences to d e v e lo p th e s tr ip p e d dow n sound that you have?

Sim on: In m y h o u se th e re w a s a lw a y s so m e e a r ly fo lk p lay in g . T h e re w a s so m u c h heavy m usic back then . It w as stripped down and very w ordy. We w an ted to m ake o u r m usic lik e th a t : v e ry im p o r ta n t to h e a r the lyrics.

Is there a large barrier trying to be an A ustra lian band who g e ts h e a r d o u ts id e o f Australia?

Simon: Well, in A ustralia we g e t a lo t o f U .S . m u s ic . W e d o n ’t g e t to h e a r n e w b a n d s th o u g h , t h a t ’s th e d if fe re n c e . But th e re a re som e sm all logis­tic p ro b le m s . M arvin ( th e i r firs t fu ll-leng th record ing) w as ou t for tw o y ea rs in A u s tra lia before it could actually be sold in the S tates. It took us a long tim e to f in d a n A m e r ic a n reco rd com pany who could give us w h a t we w an ted . We defi­nitely w an ted to be included in the U.S. scene; the scene h ere is ju s t bubbling over, th e re ’s ju s t so m uch good stu ff here .

How are you p e rc e iv e d in Australia?

Angie: Well, w e’re no t huge b u t w e’re ab o u t m id d le-ran g e , I’d say. We p u t out ou r first EP a long tim e ago.

W hat is it like to tour w ith The Violent Femmes?
