Two other House education committee members are re­tiring this year. "Perkins was p·robably the person most . re:s·ponsible for holding the Hoe··:·against budget cuts Reagan has proposed since 1980;' says Dallas Martin, head of the National Association of Stude·nt Financial Aid Ad· ministrators.

On Friday Sept. 21 from 3:00-5:00 Mead Dorm Council sponsored its first afternoon faculty-students gathering. They plan to con­tinue these on a monthly basis and hope to offer a comfortable atmosphere for social interaction.

Helmut Schmidt, ex-chancellor of the Federal Republic of Ger many, will be giving a lecture at Bridges Auditorium on Thursday, October 11th, at 8:15p.m. Admission is free therefore seating will be done on a first come basis. The lecture, entitled "Europe and· the United States: A Perspective for Bonn' is something not to· miss. Professor Stephen Koblik, Chairman of Pomona's History Department, was instrumental in arranging this event.

making students pass a, "needs test" to get loans, and helped mobilize the im­pressive nationwide lobbying efforts that turned the tide· against the student aid cuts in 1982.

Some congressional sources say the losses will ·make education a relatively ·easy target for budget cuts .next January when the new ·congress tries to slash the -$175 billion federal deficit. "Higher education programs are going to have to be reauthorized in a year when programs are probably going to be cut in order to deal with · the huge deficit;' observes Polly Gault, staff director of the Senate Education Subcom­mittee, which will lose Sen. Jennings Randolph (O-Va) to retirement. "Reauthorization will be a bit more difficult than in 1980;' the last time Con­gress set long-term education goals, Gault adds.

It will be more difficult, too, because of the relative inexpe­rience of the people replacing Perkins and Simon in the House.

·Staff aide Gault anticipates education will have a tougher time in Congress ·next year. "I have confidence in our ability to defend education programs (from ·proposals to cut them);' she says. "We have shown that repeatedly over the past few years!' But the 1985 reauthorization bill. wiil. be another story, she -predicts. .. The 1980 reauthorization gave a lot of people exactly wh~t they wanted. That Is not Stafford or Pelt's style, given the reaponaibllity of· deficit reduction!.

Building Plans Underway by Ross Huggins

A soccer field, a weight room, and a swimming pool are all noticeably absent from Pitzer's campus. However, part of this problem is undergoing rectification. Pitzer has joined with the development office of Harvey Mudd College to create a joint soccer field. The field is to be located North of the Grove House. Although the only work thus far begun is the leveling of the land, it is a definite step in the right direc­tion.

The joint playing area is owned by Harvey Mudd. How­ever, Pitzer will share in the responsibilities, as well as the maintenance. Obviously, this plan will benefit Pitzer ~ge_r!jS. -

Concerning the develop­ment of the land, Charles Mar­tin, Associate Treasurer said, "It is an attempt by Pitzer to be more responsive to the recrea­-tional needs of its students!' Hopes are high for other facilities at Pitzer in the future. The administration is currently negotiating the p-urchase of 9.95 acres of land behind the Grove House. As Martin sums it up, "It is something we wanted to do tomorrow. In fact, it is something we wish we could have done yester­day!' The only obstacle is fund­ing which is simply unavail­able for such projects.

The future of recreational facilities at Pitzer is still shaky, but the foundation is being laid. Pitzer students, in the future, are sure to be the beneficiaries.

Change for the IDJC by Ross Huggins

Intimidating, Frustrating, Complex, Punitive. These are only a few of the words used to describe the Inter-Dorm Judicial Council. Jim Stevens, staff functionary for the past . two years, saw the flaws in this judicial system. Thus, towards the end of the aca­demic year, last May, Stevens · drafted a proposal to convert the IDJC into the lOMB - the Inter-Dorm Mediation Board.

The change, not official yet, is being initiated in an effort to establish a more credible

. forum for disputes. It is hoped that the new board will be able to remove many of the nega­tive feelings surrounding the IDJC. Much of this expectation is based on the fact that the council will be using media­tion, rather than tribunal judg­ment and punitive sanctions, to resolve differences. Media­tion is to consist of friendly _.Qr diplomatic intervention. It is precisely these ideas that the board plans to pursue. The council will act as a consiliator or an intermediary.

Stevens, who implemented the reformation, did so from his work in the Ombudsman's Office. Mediation is a major part of the work in this office. Thus, Stevens believed that the same working principle could be applied to the IDJC. He saw the council flounder for more than a year before he undertook his program of improvement. Stevens be· lleves the tOMB is an Improve­ment, as he says, "It Is based on the belief that a student run mediation procea ia needed at_ Pftze:r 8nd will contrtllute to

the quality of student life at Pitzer!'

The composition of the council has not changed. It still consists of six members, · two from each dorm. The mem­bers are Jennifer Bale and Jason Steinberg from San­born; from Mead, Claire Hackett and Martin Moreno; and Laura Thurn and Ross Huggins from Holden .

The board along with the previously noted changes is also considering having a chairperson. Martin Moreno is

. tentatively selected. Moreno has served for 3 years on the IDJC and saw first hand many of the short comings of the process. He strongly favors adjustments. Indeed, the entire membership is enthu­siastic about the new idea of a . mediation board.

Jane Holcombe,Deanof Stu­dents, is extremely hopeful. Holcombe is behind the transi­tion from judge and jury, to mediation. Daria Shockley, Assistant Dean of Students, responded to the Mediation Board by saying, "The board must realize that it has the support of the administration!'

However, the most impor­tant support must come from the students. The community has to realize that the change is being implement~d to ulti­mate!y benefit the. ~tudents. There does seem to ' be some popular . support fQ{ reforma­tion. But full supporfis needed for the system to operate effi· ciently . . The new process, it Is hoped, wilt gain support beca•Jse of Its fairness. Media·

NEWS More Money for Pitzer

by Dana Levin A good year monetarily for

Pitzer seemed to be the con­clusion drawn by Lee Jack­man, Vice President of Development, as she dis­cu.ssed Gifts and Pledges allocations with The Other Side. As of the first of July, $323,000 had been raised by Gifts and Pledges. Major con­tributor was the Harry G. Steele Foundation, with $250,000. This pledge was the result of a four year commit­ment made to Pitzer in 1981 by the Foundation to pay $250,000 to the college if the college could raise a like amount on its own. The contri­butions of alumni, parents, other corporations and friends of the college have helped Pitzer successfully meet the Foundation's challenge. Understandably, this pledge is viewed as a substantial addi· tion to the Gifts and Pledges fund.

Jackman also illustrated the

tion w-ill remove punishments, and hence intimidation. Under the proposal, a mutually bind­ing contract will be drawn by the lOMB which is satisfactory to both parties.

The lOMB to become fully operational needs the approval of the Community Relation Committee. This group over­sees the policies of student

fact that over the last four years there has been a steady increase in the amount of total gifts raised. Last year, for example, gifts raised totaled $1,614,335. In accordance with · the trend, Pitzer hopes to have an excess of $2 million at the , end of the financial year. Given the large amount acquired so far, Pitzer's · goal does not seem unattainable.

Most money given to ttie Gifts and Pledges fund is specified for scholastic endowments and aid to the general Pitzer budget. Funds from Gifts and Pledges aids the Pitzer Grant allocation, a financial aid package de­signed to help prospective stu­dents with college tuition. ·Every gift raised for this pur­pose rei ieves the pressure on the budgeted amount. Monies also go into restricted funds, where gifts are given for spe­cific purposes, and in Scholar­ship accounts. Unrestricted gifts can be used by Pitzer in any way the school decides.

and dormitory life. - It is believed that the use of

mediation will remove some of the obstacles encountered in the past with the I DJC. The present council, under the guidance of Stevens, has a bright future. It is the Council's hope that the pro­posal will ultimately aid both the administration and students in disputes.

Overcrowding At McConnell by Tim Masterson

Why is McConnell Dining Hall so crowded? Many stu­dents have raised this ques­tion. On a given night, it may take · a student 20-25 minutes to be served. Lynn Richards, Food Service Director at Me-· Connell, estimates that there has been an overall increase of 15-30% total business over last year. Furthermore, the amount of crossovers (stu­dents from other campuses eating at Pitzer) is up 150% from last year. In addition, the amount of Pitzer students crossing over to other cam­puses is down slightly from last year. Thus it would seem

that the main reason for the overcrowding at McConnell is, in fact, crossovers.

Why are so many people using Pitzer's dining hall in lieu of their own? Many Pitzer students have speculated that students from other campuses. are boycotting their own dining halls. While there does not seem to be an official boycott per se, many students are avoiding their own dining halls to eat at McConnell. When I talked to some cross­overs, they complained that their own dining halls were too crowded, and indicated that the atmosphere at McConnell seems more relaxed. Most of them stated, however, that the

main reason was the inferior food being served in their own dining halls.

To counteract the problem of overcrowding at McConnell, the Dean of Students, Jane Holcombe, has approved a rule that allocates the first fifteen minutes of each dinner (Sun­day-Thursday) to be open only to Pitzer students, thus allow­ing Pitzer students the time to be served before crossovers are allowed into the dining hall. The rule is being im­plemented on a two-week trial' basis to see if it alleviates the present problem of over­crowding at McConnell.

Vandalism Hits Pitzer by Dana Levin

On the evening of Septem­ber 24, two male Claremont McKenna students came to

·Holden Dorm to visit a friend. The CMC students had been drinking and were said to have challenged a number of Holden residents to political debates. Later, these same students ran about the dorm writing obscene slogans with a ball point pen on several dorm bulletin boards, posters, and actual dorm residence doors. "Democrats suck

Republic Tit for Security;• "F---Democrat Freeloaders;' "Republicans lead America to Freedom;' and "Mondale sux Nancy Reagan's Tits to Sur­vive" were some of the out­rageous slogans slashed across Holden dorm walls.

Resident advisor Timo Brandt was approached by several Holden residents who complained about the inci­dent. Some of the students said that their parents would be visiting and were angry about the obscenities which could not be easily erased.

Timo in turn approached Holden Hall Director Jim Stevens.

Stevens feels that the two ·students should be brought before CMC's judicial council pr the Inter Campus Judicial Board so that sanctions can be Levied against them.

Witnesses are available tc identify the students who tcok part in this awful display. Some of the damage done is irrepairable. Many Pi1zer students feel that these two students and their actions should not go unpunished.

October 8, 1984 - Page 3 FEATURES The Dorm Review

by Paul Killorin

Give me a Mead! Give me a Holden! Give me a Sanborn! This may sound like a football cheer but in actuality they are none other than the homes for the students at Pitzer College.

Life would be great if one could experience each of these three dorms all at the same time. Each dorm defi­nitely has its advantages and disadvantages, but since you on ly get one pick per year it would be best to know what you're getting yourself into. Adaptation is a long word wh ich means noth ing to the person who finds himself or herself caught in a miserable l iving environmen t. Don ' t forget - there's always next year.

To better the students' knowledge of campus hous­ing, this artic le will hopefully exh ibit the feeling of each dorm life through the vo ices of students and the facts already

known. Mead offers housing to 230

students in eight-person suites. The complex is made up of six-three story towers connected by carpeted cat­walks. Mead resembles that of a motel layout. Between the towers the area is nicely designed with concrete tables and benches for outside studying.

The suites themselves are centered around a moderately small living room equipped with a telephone, a couch, comfortable lounge chairs, and a table or two with lamps. On either side of the living room are two single rooms and a double. Thus there are two bathrooms with a shower and two sinks. Unlike the other dorms many of the suites include a balcony which can come in handy for parties and the like.

Other facilities in Mead in­clude a large living room and designated rooms for playing pool and ping pong or watching the color television. The sundeck is nothing special unless you like roasting on concrete. A special feature of Mead is its library which is equipped with reference books, study tables and comfortable seating. The

the other two dorms. The students living in Mead

tend to really like it or really dislike it. Usually the freshmen will be the ones to dislike it, the upper classmen having already experienced it and decided to stay. Dean Fer­guson, a sophomore, had this to say, "I think Mead is a more social dorm. The suites allow much more personal space leaving your room for your own privacy. The living room and segregated bathrooms are big advantages. It 's also easier to see if people are up at night and I think the dorm counc il is more act ive:'

Ken Cuvelier, a freshman, states his opinion, "Mead was my first choice. I like the idea of the suite arrangement. It allows you more opportunity to meet people. If the noise is a problem shutting your door wi ll usually solve the problem. I will live here next year:'

I have also overheard opi­nions from the other side.

Some simply hate the music blasts that Mead can be known to produce not to mention the parties. Basically, if you like to. socialize and the idea of occa-· sional loud music or voices doesn't bother you, then Mead may very well fit into your educational experience. By the way, students living in Mead have also been known to study.

The second residence hall to be explored is Holden. This two story. building with eight corridors houses about 170

students. Shaped in a U-form Holden is more characterized by its hall I if e.

Students possess a single or share a double room. Rooms are connected by a bathroom with a tub. Showers are also available in various parts of the halls. In the room there is a sink with a mirror and medicine cabinet. ·

Amongst the corridors is the supply closet. This closet is better than most and sustains a special feature, stamps. Though seemingly worthless to some, the inhabitants of Holden f ind th is a great conve­nience. Located at the end of each hall is a telephone which rings but may not always be heard. Developing an ear for the ri ng may be the matter be­tween money or no money from home.

Besides the various dorm living rooms , students at Holden enjoy the student union, or at least that's what it is called in the Pitzer Catalog.

This is a large room which has been broken up into three separate rooms. One is for pool playing, another for televi­sion and between them is the main living room. These facili­ties are located just as you enter the main doors.

Also at Holden are the Thematic living units. This feature has long been present at Pitzer and tries to draw students together who share a common interest whether it be a language, science or some form of entertainment.

I talked with one Yuriko Takahash i who says she very much likes the idea of interna­tional people living around her. Being of foreign descent her­self, she feels much more comfortable. Concerning her . likes and dislikes she said that

having a siQ.!< io19ur rog!TlJ ~ a_ real conven ience but she also said they should get new carpets.

Interviewed also was Chrissy Lambert, a freshman. She had this to comment, "Having the film series held in Holden's Jiving room is great. I like the idea that it is free. Our supply sells stamps and gives out change which is very help­ful!' She also feels that the idea of buying an extremely expensive plant for the main lobby was not too bright. She thinks it would have been better to invest in inexpensive fans for the rooms.

Holden residents, indeed, tend to prefer the hall life. The noise level is usually much lower than that of Mead if not Sanborn also. The Thematic corridors are definitely an advantage. If you don't enjoy alot of noise and like hall life, Holden would probably be your best bet.

Last but not least is San­born Hall. Situated directly across from Holden this place could be considered a siamese twin of Holden with a couple of exceptions.

Unlike Holden, Sanborn's

main living room is not split up into three different areas. Instead it more resembles Mead's main living room but is much larger. It is nicely carpeted and is furnished with couches and lounge chairs. There is also a piano which is a

feature in each of the dorms' living rooms.

If you haven't heard of A-1 hall you probably will some­time if you happen to walk through the halls on a Thurs­day night around nine or ten and hear music in the back­ground. Known campus wide· for its parties, A-1 's living room sponsors a party every Thursday night. Refreshments are supplied at a relatively low price. Come one, come all!

I discussed living matters with Tor (no last name given), a sophomore who resides in Mead presently but spent part. of his freshman year in San­born. He . f~els that liviog :in . a hall restricts the number of people one gel8 to meet com­pared to a suite arrangement, especially for freshmen. "In order to have a party you have to hang out in the halls unless you have a living room and also its much easier for people to invade your privacy. Anyone walking down the hall will in­evitably look into the open rooms:'

In contrast, Robert Gans says it's easier to meet people because you're constantly passing people in the halls whereas in Mead this is limited. He also feels that sinks in the rooms is a great thing to have.

Sanborn Hall is a good place to be if you like a little more noise and rowdiness but is almost exactly the same as Holden. Take your pick.

Mead, Holden, and Sanborn are definitely three acceptable .places to spend a college career. It just depends on what you like and what you probably don't want. Some students change each year, others are content and would never want to move. If anything else it's nice to know you have a variety of places to go if the first one doesn't work out. Good Luck!

The Overseas Experience by Tatiana Muftic

Looking back on my year abroad, I think that the read­justment to American culture has been more difficult for me than my initial adjustment to Germany and Austria. How­ever, that doesn't necessarily mean that adjusting was easy.

I applied to the Scripps' Year abroad in the Germany­Heidelberg program with the intention of remaining in Heidelberg for a year. I, however, spent the second semester in Vienna parti­cipating in the Beaver College Vienna program. The Scripps program was designed for those students who have

already had two years of col­lege German or the equivalent and are interested in achieving fluency in the German lan­guage. The Beaver Collage program was designed for history and political science majors interested in south· eastern Europe. The instruc­tion in Heidelberg was in Ger­man and in Vienna it was in English.

As I spent my first days in Heidelberg I began wondering if I had really even taken two years of German. I had no problem asking questions like, "Wo ist der Banhot?" (Where's the train station) but "How do I open a bank account?" be­came a nightmare. The lan-

Path to

guage aspect for this program was at times tedious and frustrating but it also had its merits.

I spent 25 hours a week in German language classes. The · Claremont College students, of which there were six of us, studied at the German insti­tute. We took classes with other students from all over the world, but with nb Ger­mans.

Establishing contact with German students was ex­tremely difficult due to language and cultural barriers. Several students were able to join clubs and therefore met more Germans. There also wasn't a campus as we know it

and the city of Heidelberg becomes the campus with classroom buildings, cafe­terias, and dorms spread throughout the city.

The Fraternity Run Down by Kim McNear and Caroline Whitson

At Pomona College there are eight fraternities, each with its own per­sonality. What they do share in common is that they are all non-residenUal and members of the Inter Fraternity Council , or IFC. But the similarities stop there. Here's more:

lamda Chi is a fraternity seeking to provide the Claremont Col· leges with a social alternative to the other frats on campus. It perceives itself as having a dual role of providing extra social life and community serv­ice. In selecting new members for Lambda Chi, President Fred Studier says that his fraternity looks for students who are fun, interested in the com­munity, but most of all "someone who is a leader!' Lamda Chi's first big party this year will take place after the Pomona-CMC football game. It's called " Going to a Go-Go Ill" and Studier promises that this gathering, with a live band, will be "on a major scale!'

Sigma Tau is a highly visible fraternity on the Claremont Col­leges campuses. Regularly advertising a variety of theme parties, they aggressively pursue their goal of "primarily promoting the social life of Pomona and all the other campuses!' Equally important goals of the frater­'lity are "promoting the personal development of our members and sharing a commitment to our college and community ... and to generally have a good time;• as put by the President, Bob Hackett. Upcoming events include c semi-formal, a CPR course and plenty more theme parties.

NU Alpha P'hl i$.probably best known for Its weekly party that starts the weekend off ·right - The Wash. Other parties they throw are The Spin Dry and The Soak. "They're all related;' adds President Matt Chaukin. The parties are what keep the frat going financially but "is not the only reason we have them;' he reassures. Dues, paid each semester, also help keep them out of the red. Alumni funds help to keep their frat cabin in shape. NAP fluctuates between fifteen and thirty members who have all gone through an initiation similar to one used in 1950.

Kaopa Delta usually throws a lot of parties- The One Piece, The sram Dunk and The Jellybean - but unfortunately for us all, "we can't do too much this semester;' admits President Scott Zala. The KD contingent does have an initiation process that isn't public. They've usually been known as the jock frat , but Scott says they're in a very transitory period right now. The thirty members enjoy having lots of barbeques and a good game of softbal l. "We're nice guys;' says Scott,' !we're not bad guys at all!'

Who or What is Baxter?

by Emily Gist which can be made through the main office. Aron feels that these appointments are very important because Baxter has 11,000 visits per year.

Baxter has its own lab, and so any test that can be done there is done at no charge. More complicated tests are sent out to a major lab and students are charged the exact lab fee. Baxter also does X-rays at the center at no charge.

Phi Delta is the fraternity that throws the Toga Party. It also throws the Boxer Shorts party and many, many spur of the moment affairs, "we have a lot of parties;' says President Colin Driscoll. He also mentioned that there is no initiation rite per se but that all the frat brothers get together for a group activity. They :.tike to show all the other frats how the game of soft­ball is played. Phi Delta Golf Day is a hit among the brothers, too. This year they will be participating in the Blood and World Hunger drives and will be, starting a Pep Fest, "just like back in high school!'

Kappa Theta Epsilon, one of the smaller fraternities with only fifteen members, seems to be a very tight group. "We like to watch TV together;• says President Steve Geanakof. As far as initiation is con­cerned- "nothing special, no secret spankings" that we know of, anyway. All members are responsible for putting in hours at The Pub so they can throw parties for themselves. and sponsor children in Sri Lanka. "We don' t throw big parties~· Steve says. A lot of funds from The Pub this year will go ·towards the purchase of a new stereo to replace their old one which was stolen over the summer. KTE has just recently become co-ed and prides itself on having the highest GPA on campus.

Alpha Gamma Siama seems to stand . apart t·r-om Pomona's other fraternities in its be"rfef in gathering together students from all the colleges for "mutual enlightenment!' Shunning many of the conven­tialities of a fraternity, President Ben Staat asserts that he is head of the frat in name only and that AGS holds no list of active members. Students are. admitted via a shouting vote and everyone rushed is offered initiation. AGS seeks students who are "able to have a lot of fun, party hard and, most importantly, have an undefinable charisma!' AGS is currently on probation ·and won't be throwing its traditional "Wild Wednesday Night" parties but .will be entering a float in the upcoming Pomona-CMC football game. Staat claims it will be as unstereotypical of floats as AGS is of a fraternity.

Zeta Chi Sigma President Caroline Simkin says that her frat is "looking for people who are looking for us:' Its members are very diverse. They prefer to throw fun, small parties as an "alternative to loud obnoxious parties: ' The initiation processes are secret but not humiliating. They are a co-ed fraternity and will rush anyone who is interested. Planned activities for this year are trick or treat for UNICEF, the Blood Drive and the spon­soring of s~udy breaks.

The Baxter Medical Center which was founded in 1925 is located at 175 East Sixth Street in Claremont. The center services all six of the colleges and sees about 700 students every year with a ratio of 60% women to 40% men. Baxter has a variety of services available to the students at no charge which range from a new Womens' Health Program to a Derma­tology Clinic once a week and some minor surgical proce­dures. Two AN's, one labora­tory technician and two physi­cians are always on duty at Baxter along with the adminis­trative staff.

Stephen Aron M.D., the director of the health services explained that Baxter's first commitment are to the emer­gencies from the colleges. At Baxter they are prepared to deal with emergencies but if they can't be handled there:

Baxter assures confiden­tiality to its patients but some contagious diseases have to be reported to the Public Health Service by law. No per­son can see any of the medical records at Baxter without the patient's signing a release first.

Most people who go to Bax­ter have colds or fevers. Second to that are the gyne· cology needs, sports injuries, and minor lacerations. Ruth Sullivan, the resident AN in charge of gynecology has started a new womens' health program this year. The pro­gram is educational and covers sexually transmitted diseases (S.T.D. 's), contracep-

tion, premenstrual syndrome, and weight related. problems. Under the program all women are urged to have annual pelvic examinations which are free but requi re an appointment.

Baxter also works very ·closely with the Monsour Counseling Center and offers "Mental Health Services in conjunction with Monsour:' Both Baxter and Monsour refer both ways ·for the most com­plete medical services pos­sible.

Photo by Wes Tanlmura they should use Baxter. The medical center is not against expansion of any kind and is willing to help serve any problems.

Baxter wi II refer services to major hospitals without the emergency room wait. Their next priority are appointments

Baxter supplies basic med i­cattons which are prescribed by the staff. These medica­tions are sold to the students at cost so they are much cheaper than in any drug­stores. Baxter does supply the co n t r a c e p ti v e p i II at t h e medication area for a very reduced price.

Aron says that he feels that the way to keep the medical services at their best is to have student input. This means that when students need a service that's not offered, they should suggest it to Baxter and also

Baxter is set up just for the students and can cover such a variety of needs that it really should be used for everything. Everyone at Baxter is sincere about the work and concerned for the welfare of the students. This service should certainly be taken advantage of; after all , tt's there for us.

S-ome students w~re ex­tremely lucky and had the possibility of living in dorms. The University of Heidelberg is only capable of housing about 10% of the students attending Germany's oldest and largest university. Other students live at home or live in apartments. I was lucky to get a room, but I lived in a "Sterile" apartment building with a Pomona stu­dent. We shopped, cleaned and cooked on our own.

Two events really stand out in my mind thinking about my experience in Heidelberg: The installment of Pershing II cruise missiles into Germany in the fall and a university trip to Berlin in the winter.

through Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary.

I could write a novel describ­ing everything I saw in those countries but I'll just mention a few highlights. Yugoslavia was breathtaking and by far one of the most beautiful countries in southeastern Europe. I was thoroughly im­pressed with Istanbul. I even bought a carpet from a sales­man who told me I was the most beautifu l girl in the world. He told two other girls

·that also but I bought the

carpet anyway. Romania was in a terrible economic state. Three hour bread, meat, and gas lines plagued the cities. We didn't get to see Count Dracula in Transylvania but one girl got her wallet stolen by a gypsy. I played the drums in a bar for 200 people and got a round of applause. I didn't know how to play but they didn't know that. Romanian wine is good and strong.

I thoroughly enjoyed the sauna in Budapest but nothing was more enjoyable than get-

ting off that bus in Vienna and going shopping and buying whatever we wanted, when we wanted.

I can't recommend strongly enough that going on an exter­nal studies is important. Ame­ricans tend to be extremely isolated and unaware of what lies across the oceans. How many Americans do you know who can speak a foreign lan­guage? If anything I learned to appreciate ice cubes more and what it means to be a foreigner.

Heidelberg is one of the main centers for the U.S. Army in Germany. There are thou­sands of Americans con­stantly present and so it was impossible to feel homesick. There were many anti-Ameri­can foreign policy and nuclear arms demonstrations daily. It was not uncommon for a Ger­man to ask you about your political beliefs on Reagan and nuclear weapons. One night I was awakened by-chanting on the street below me. About 300 people were clanging pots and pans screaming obscenities in reference to the final accep­tance of the Pershing II

trip I took with the other foreign students to Berlin. What stands out in my mind most was the Berlin Wall. You are driving in the city, turn the corner and there it is: Barbed wire, soldiers with machine guns and grafitti. Definitely not a welcoming site I think at all. Usually Americans have no trouble going to East Berlin but I did. I had a Western magazine with me -and it's for­bidden to bring such printed matter into the East part. The border officials searched all of my belongings and wen1 through my address book questioning me about each one of my addresses.

LIBRA A pleasant possibility exists in the near future. Do not try to avoid or flee from it. Embrace it with glee- you are self made ... sort of.

SCORPIO The stars are whispering that you may feel deprived because you think yourself deprived. Whatever the temp­tation, keep to noble pursuits and all will be well. (Could they get much worse???)

SAGITTARIUS ·Family problems may create unbearable tension in the near future. If you can do some­thing to improve the situation, do so. If not, don't. If you can't decide, go out and buy your­self a fluffy poodle pup. Name it after your room mate and in­sist that there is a strong resemblance. Get others to in­sist as well. This will create new problems which will oc­cupy much of your time.

CAPRICORN You might find yourself giving second glances to those you never found appealing before. This could mean that your standards are changing ... or that they've disappeared~

by Keith & Leigh

AQUARIUS Annoying visitors, McConnell food and a heavy work load may be putting a strain on you. Treat yourself to a dinner out and invest in a "do not come near my door or I will bite you" sign. They are available for the truly daring. We take no responsibility for their impact on your social life.

PISCES Strange situations could be developing around you. Escape this weekend and go visit someone nice. If you don't know anyone nice pre­tend you do. No one will ever know the difference.

ARIES Are you up late at night? If so, think about what you are doing. What are you doing?? The stars say that this is a good month to re-evaluate your priorities and what mean­ing life holds for you. Still con­fused??? Don't lose any sleep over it. Have some sweet dreams; don't lose them, they are much tastier than reality. Enough!!!

TAURUS This week you will be sexy, flashy and irresistible to

others. Don.'t worry, this too will be over soon.

GEMINI We've heard that you have been playing too much lately. But we hear everything so don't worry ... no one else knows about the purple spud frolicking in your room.

CANCER Do not let self-destructive impulses become more than impulses. A fortuitous change could be in the air ... or perhaps you're just smelling an aromatic shrub located nearby.

LEO Leo's take note: Assert your­self this month or others may step all over you. Flail your anns madly and roar to insure that those with big feet keep their distance.

VIRGO Do not dwell on what is past. This is a prime time for new beginnings: Perhaps -if-would be wise to cultivate numerous ; irritating habits. Think about it ... the more you acquire, the more people you will have something in common with. ·

Who Owns the Zebra? 1. There are five houses, each of a different color and inhabited by men of different

2. The Englishman lives in the red house.

3. The Spaniard owns the dog.

Jlwatt OBJECTS IN MIRROR

ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR

August 6th approaches quickly, and the wind looks lonely pushing the leaves around. The sky fades from light blue to dark blue to a thunder color, and streaks of orange-pink cut wide swaths in all that Vermont darkness. Dad would have liked this sky, would have liked sitting here on the porch of the Inn. But he was here, 1965 to 1968, and he loved it. He never talked about it, but he loved it. That's what Mom says. August 6th. I wish I could talk with him about being here, share our observa­tions and perceptions about this mountain idyll. Did he feel out-of-time here? Did he feel his time at Bread Loaf to be a long, slow dream in which the smallest images are mag­nified to mighty proportions? What did he feel? I looked in the theatre scrapbook three weeks ago - Dad as lago in 1965, out of keeping with his true character. In 1966 he played a character in a one-act play; a photograph is all that remains; Dad sitting on a con­structed curb, elbows on his knees, hands dangling between the legs, a dark linen pull-over with a wide neck exposing his thin chest. He sits; he smiles; he waits.

August 6th. All the relatives said that I took it too well. How was I supposed to take it? They said that Mom was acting strong and brave. What did they want her to do? Have a breakdown? In some per­verse way that probably would have fulfilled their expecta­tions.

"Why?" "To get it out of you:' "It's not a problem:' I said,

squinting at me through a trail of smoke.

''You know, everyone get together and cry and hug each other in their hot tubs and eat alfalfa sprouts and talk about their infidelities and how it's so good to talk about everything. Well fucking forget it! My emotions belong to me, thank you!'

''Express yourself!'' Natasha yells. I almost laugh. "Nicole, wake up! He died, he left you!"

I flinch, turn away, close the subject: ''Got nothing to talk about with anyone:'

In ·the .kitchen Mom pours Dad's .• :iranola into a bowl, leaves· it on the counter. He'll get 'up after we're gone, sit at the kitchen table in his small, dark blue robe; drink cup after cup of black coffee, and smoke three or' four cigarettes. Then he'll · eat the cereal. He does this every morning, has done this for the past nine or ten years. I take two apples from the refrigerator.

"Is that your lunch?" Mom ~ks over the ~unning faucet.

"Yeah!' "You'll be h.ungry later:' "Nahh. I don't much feel

like eating today:' "Are you all right?" "Yeah:' "Okay:' Mom· shrugs, and

over the clinking of taking dishes from the dishwasher says, "Where are you going today?"

"We're taking the kids to Vashon lsiand:' I wrap the apples in a napkin. "Will you get green apples tomorrow?"

~'If you want them, you get them:'

"Okay. I got to go. See you later!'

"Have a good day!" Mom calls after me walking out the front door.

beach. The sun is so bright that wherever I focus, the light meter in my camera swings up into the "too much light" range. I capture a heron standing under the pier; 5-year-old Amy tiny in front of a row of distorted drift­wood sculpture; the thin finger of mainland across the Sound. The ferry going back rolls over choppy waves, and the apples lurch in my stomach, settle like stones.

I walk into the house at 1:00 p.m. and it is too quiet. In the laundry room I set my camera on the book cart, head into the kitchen. I stop, suddenly aware of the refrigerator's drone and the clock on the stove ticking away minutes as I stare at the bowl of cereal still sitting on the counter. Why dido 't he eat it? Or throw it out if he didn't want it? Heavy footsteps clomp down the stairs, my sister emerging from hiding in her adolescent bedroom.. She thunders into the kitchen.

"HI!" She roars into the stiUness.

I wince, clap a hand to my right ear. "Hi. Shhsh, will you? I can hear you!'

"If you're going to pick on me, I'm leaving:' She turns to leave.

"Wait! Where's Dad?" "I don't know. At school, I

guess:' ''Is he feeling better today?

He's not still in bed?" "No. I went to check earlier

because I wanted to .vacuum upstairs, but he was gone. And then I couldn't because the vacuum cleaner is gone:'

"Oh:' I tum my gaze out the window to the huge rhodo­dendrons that separate us from our neighbors. "Well, just so long as he isn't dead in bed:'

We both laugh, a little, and my sister returns to her upstairs domain, I to mhie downstairs where I change into a bathing suit.

In our tiny half-acre back­yard I pull the beach cot from the brick terrace onto the lawn. Placing my Walkman on the grass under the shade of the Dowering almond tree, I lie on my back on the cot, watch the dark purple leaves swish gently in the breeze, .and listen to Dave Loggins sing. Under the slow hea,t of the sun I doze, and the sounds of the after­aoon ruter iato my ears over Cllet music: a doa barks, the

bang of someone's door, neighbor kid playing his drums. The tape ends. Rousing myself from a sun­drugged stupor I flip the tape. More Dave Loggins, wailing about his father's fiddle. Sun. Breeze. Tiny drops of sweat bead up on my stomach, little rivers run down the backs of my knees, streams trickle down my forehead into my hair. Doze. The back door slams. Mom's quick .. footsteps hurry past me to the garage door, 12 feet away from where I lie in the soaking sun.

Sharp slap on my leg - quick sting of pain! Eyes fly open, push off the earphones. "What! What is it:'

"Get up, come on, get up! Something's wrong - your father - look in the window!''

I spring off the cot, to the garage in four long strides. My hands on the filthy brick-red window ledge, I look in.

Through the grimy, rain­streaked window I see our small white car, see .my father in the driver's seat, head tipped back, eyes closed, flesh blue at the edges of his jaws and under his eyes, his favorite grey, red and blue checked shirt open at the neck. I see this through the purple-grey fog of exhaust fumes hissing into the car's interior, the vacuum cleaner hose snaking from the exhaust pipe to the back car door, and the fumes drifting out of that not-quite­closed door, filling the garage in trails like cirrus clouds.

I see this every night for the next year, in that . grey area where waking slips away and sleep creeps in. August 6, 1982.

July 29, 1984. The sky is blue-black, has swallowed completely the pink streaks that Dared across the sky only moments before. Dad is in the library in that theatre scrap­book; he is on file in the base­ment of the library; he studies in his room upstairs in the Inn; he sits in the Bam drinking black coffee and chain­smoking. He stands behind, every broad tree on campus; · he sits in every damn. lawn chair; he walks beside me where I walk and holds my hand when I slip my fingers into his broad, warm palm. I see his light hazel eyes flicker about registering motion and sound; I hear his laughter; I hear his voice caWng to me at night through my open win­dow when it is too late for anyone else to hear: ''Do your best, then do it ten times better. Remember, you're my baby!' August 6.

TCHAIKOVSKI; A .. FIRST HEARING These tunes unbind my fancy, they set the icy Volga free, warming every bird, tree, these tunes blow sails in me.

Deep somewhere in the ocean, no sign, not the slightest premonition, they swell, rattle, bust, fill every creek with lust.

They thrash feminine snow to madness, and as night falls to veil their sadness, they silence the wildest, fiercest land, and show the greatness of man's creating hand.

On they flap, and on they glide, sometimes they flush, sometimes they hide, and as they come and as they go, they steal my breath, my soul they draw.

These tunes stir the life in every seed, with all their might they shake the field, · and out of it force cultivating man to •uzle lail boots Ia aeaeratiaa day. ..

They rise and fall in trinkling rhyme, foam and storm and vanquish time, step by step silent shiboliths twist, like butterflies they toss, like tireless thighs.

"Penguins of the Lake" Tchaikovski named them, and sent wild eagles to hunt their beauty, so lightly they move, so gently they bend, pour, and heave, with nevet..an end.

Grove Musik by Zephyr

I was introduced to the magic of Grove Musik last Thursday night when I wan­dered up to the House for a party break. I was one of the first to arrive and so secured myself a front row rocker. The music promised by the bills posted was Jazz Fusion, and the band, "Omlette au From age:'

These facts, however, gave only a skeletal picture of the experience that was in store. What \'ve called the band was actually jus1 a group of musically capable friends from the Montclair area who were given a name by Joel, the caretaker of the Grove House, to facilitate the introduction process.

They played mostly classi­cal jazz in the first set, moving on to more fusion as ttleir momentum built to jamming

speed. Keith . Squires, the leader of the band, would occasionally walk into the kit­chen for a glass of water, leaving the lead guitarist, bassist, and drummer to jam out until his smooth rejoinder. The highest form of showman­ship evidenced by the per­formers, was the tapping of their feet to the rhythm of the beat. And, of course, the au­dience was doing the same.

The casual attitude and spontaneity of the perfor­mance in the relatively austere surroundings of the Grove House living room sparked an audiaf pleasure nerve that heavily show-dependant pop groups playing in the Holly­wood Bowl can not touch.

The free Thursday Night Musik Series, with its variety and improvisational tenden­cies, presents anyone inter­ested in music with an oppor· tunity not to be missed.

opportunity to speak with Stan Casselman, an aspiring studio artist about campus. Stan is a senior here at Pitzer, and is also an art major. What I found most admirable about Stan is that he was originally an Econ major, but he was able to recognize his true desire to be an artist and abandoned Econ. He also abandoned a spot in the family business and the Rat Race. His decision to switch majors was not an easy one. In fact, it took Stan about a year to make the move. He felt torn between the security of an economics degree and his love for art. He admits that he went so far as to lie to himself about his desire to be an artist. The turning point for

Stan was an inspirational con­versation he had with his cousin Danny Lewkowitz and Lewkowitz's associate Gary. The two men encouraged Stan to pursue his art career to the fullest extent, so he went for it! Stan says that at this point · in his life he cannot see himself doing anything else but art.

Stan works in ceramics and he also paints. He began work­ing in ceramics while he was a sophomore in high-school, and· began painting in January. He· finds inspiration for his work in vario ~ways: while working, driving, and before going to sleep. He believes that his work is a reflection of himself in that he creates visual images, and these creations speak for themselves. When asked what he would lik~

Pitzer students to know about his artwork, Stan replied that if he had to classify his artwork now as a movement, it would. be Nee-Abstract Expres­sionism. The images created are non-imitative and purely visual. They tell no stories.

Stan is a perfectionist. If he is not pleased with something he has created, he will destroy it. If he finds his work 11arginal, he will keep it out of the public's eye, but he will refer back to what he found pleasing about it. He is always concerned with improving his work. Stan says he has learned a tremendous amount from criticism, not only as an artist, but also as an Individual. Stan is definitely an individual, in the true sense of the word. We wish him the best in his bright pursuit of ~n art career.

Shelly Manne: More than A Great Drummer by Ari Sherman

All of this happened in L.A. so of course I was on. the· freeway when it ended. Shelly Manne died of a heart attack last Wednesday, sixty-four, and ~ jazz legend, and now passed. I heard it over the radio as I was inching along in that muddy river we call a freeway, ironically I'd just switched from KHJ over to KNX News 'cause whatever they were playing on the Boss radio wasn't something I con­sidered music. And the first thing I heard about on KNX was Shellv's death.

Not as if I owned every album he ever recorded on, which would be more or less impossible since they number over a thousand. And ob­viously, at twenty-four, I could not have followed every minute of his busy four-decade plus career. But I had enough contact with Shelly to feel some true grief over his sur­prising death. This article is my way of transcending it.

The big-time obits, even that written by Shelly's longtime friend _Leonard Feather, strike

me as a little cold but let's assume, and probably accu­rately, that this is attributable to the shock his death brought · to the music community. What evef"9one is stressing is · that Shelly was in many ways a very atypical jazzman; he didn't do · drugs or drink, was happily and peacefully wed to one woman for over forty-one years, and instead of a hectic musician's life on the road spent most of his time raising horses on his ranch in Sun Valley. When he wasn't: gigging or recording with such jazz heavies as Zoot Sims, Les Brown, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, and a whole line of what should be very emphatic etceteras. He gigged a week ago at Hop Singh's, in Marina Del Rey, and 1from what I hear he was heavy, hot, and strong.

Which is, I think, more than enough to say and alot of why I'm doing this obit to a legen­dary jazz drummer. A few tears for a late jazzman in rush hour on a freeway in L.A. You oughtta have something to say about anyone who can make you feel like that.

Butlet me explain. I had a

job for five months as the same afore mentioned Hop Singh's in-house lighting designer. I guess some people might envy me that, and it is true I rubbed shoulders with and worked for some real greats, even some of my child­hood heroes like Paul Butter­field and Papa john Creach. Most of the biggies treated me like the pissboy ! was but that was understandable or at least a part of the scene; a roadie is a roadie is a roadie. More disillusioning than how the stars treated me was how they treated their audiences, old timers making comebacks being bullied by aggressive young managers and pumped up with coke, veteran heavies sarcastically running through old hits in sound checks oblivious to the fact that those hits still meant (though I'd have accep~ed their sarcasm if they'd had anything new to offer). Plus the fact that the job was high pressure, sensory over-loading, and sleep deny­ing. But I worked some great gigs. _

A couple of which were with Shelly Manne. First off he was anything but jaded or sarcastic

or burned out or pushed into the gigs. He was everything jazz music is for, a big part of which is better than words for evoking. certain feelings, making certain kinds · of com­munications. He played, both times I lit for him, with the incredible saxist Zoot Sims, Shelly treating Zoot with the kind of respect I learned quickly to treat Shelly with. And he was more than happy to be playing the club; my boss Rudy, Hop Singh's active owner, had been both owner of the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach where Shelly played in the fifties, and a partner in Shelly's own club, the legen­dary Manne Hole, where for a dozen years they presented to L.A. the very best that jazz had to offer. For Shelly Hop Singh's, he said, was alot like jamming in his own home. He didn't say much else, just got into the jam.

The mistake I made with him was setting up a glittering array of my thirty-two 1000 watt lights in order to show off my boss's legendary friend. Levels from one to ten on my dimmer board, I usually worked between four and

eight, for Zoot and Shelly was mostly and very brightly around nine . during sound check. Which is when Shelly, peering up at me like a ground­hog awakened in December, bellowed out "Down" and then "More down" and kept it up till all the stage was a glimmer on the tophat, a reflection off the sax, a few highlights in the wood of the stand-up bass, and four barely visible musi­cians in silhouette. To which Shelly bellowed "Still a bit gaudy but it's showbiz" and then "Thanks buddy, jazzmen are like bats~'

So they say the lights were beautiful that night. Even Rudy, who was terrified of how I I it shows (and of the I AS, the CIA, and all rock musicians) was pretty pleased to be able to say "Good looking show, Shelly likes you:' The praise brought out the ear splitting grinning boy in me, so much so that I did the load-out for Shelly on my own time, held his sticks during breaks, and did his setting up and take­down the other three shows I _ was fortunate enough to light for him. And he remembered my name. And said thank you.

The Other Side of Art by Rebecca Frankel

There is presently a show at the Claremont Graduate School featuring the artist, Magdalena Abakanowicz. The show is spectacular. Those of you who saw it on opening night should return. It is a completely different expe­rience when you are by yourself. Those of you who haven't visited it yet, should take a half hour out of your busy schedule and drop in. It's difficult to describe the art presented. I would say it is a cross of the world in the movie Alien, and an unknown forest.

Although many of us think of fiber art as dull, Magdalena proves this belief to be wrong. At the entrance, one walks into huge strands of rope con­nected to a giant wheel of wood. The rope lays on the ·floor like creeping snakes. Hid­den behind the wheei, a head­less body made of sand and resin hangs hopelessly. To describe the entire exhibition would be unfair, for I would be forming an image for you to

see. All that I will say is that each room is better than the next, no matter what order you travel through the gallery. The rooms are full of suspended, huge black and red objects (Abakans) in space.

There is no mistaking that this art is done by a woman. The deep, mother earth colors and the round vuluptuous fiber hangings hint that they are made by a woman. Many Abakans are intruded with slits, or fuzzy strands of fiber. I felt drowned in femirline impli­cations.

For the more conservative art lovers, there are also small, tidy pieces which could be found in anybodies living room. These pieces are just as intriguing.

Therefore, if you have the time, stop in for a minute, walk around and let your imagina­tion take over. If you are thoroughly impressed (as I was), Magdalena wiii be speak­ing about her art at Scripps Humanities Auditorium. The time is eight p.m. and the date is October 28. I think it will be a worthwhile experience.

Street Scene by Tammy Allen

The 7th Annual Los Angeles Street Scene Festival was a celebration of arts, music, dance, and the diverse cultures that make up this great city.

If you are an arts and crafts lover, then this was the place to be this past weekend .. Artists ranged from young children creating their mark on the world with crayons inside a huge air bag to signed and numbered lithographs by Caribbean artist Bernard Stanley Hayes, which were selling for a mere 10 dollars. These beautiful prints drew gasps of emotion from all who cast their eyes upon them.

An open air "Art Park" was

det up in front of the Los Angeles Times building. This area allowed festival goers to view as well as purchase such items as Water Powered Sculptures, Native American Jewelry, Contemporary Paint~ ings by renowned artist Dickens Chang, Air Brush por­traits and t-shirts created right before your eyes, and every other form of art the mind could think up and create.

This weekend festival offered something for every­body, whether you went for the music, clowns, mimes, or the food delicacies from around the world.

A word to those who may have missed this 7th celebra­tion of life in Los Angeles: Don't make the same mistake next year.

~ l' ~1 • A -- J _rrotessors li no1ce art by Thorpe

Professors Choice II is a comprehensive showing of ar­tists chosen independently by professors at the five colleges. It is a dual showing located at both the Lang (Scripps) and Montgomery (Pomona) Gal­leries. The selections are vast and often insightful. For my money, the Montgomery col­lection seems more profes­sional and serious: not to detract from the Lang show which contains some wonders of craftsmanship and artistic intellect.

My favorite pieces in the Lang show are the stainless steel sculptures by George Rickey. "Four Lines Opposed" consists of four, two and one­half feet rods balanced at one end, in such a way that a small breeze will set them in motion, floating up and down casting beautiful shadows on the wall. Other Rickey sculptures use opposing geometric shapes, such as two trapezoids, coun­ter-balanced so that . they teeter back and forth, reflect­ing light off the polished metal.

·Also at Lang are displayed some beautiful graphite on paper drawings by Douglas Bord. He portrays tortured and tired faces in a realistic style with slightly surrealistic over­tones. For pure beauty in

craftsmanship, Sam Maloof~~ handmade walnut furniture is a must to see. These are sim­ply wonders of woodworking ability which almost seduce you to sit on them.

Also to be admired are Den­nis Farbers complex wonders (as I call them), and Helen Pashgian's beautiful, almost scu~ptured epoxy paintings. There are many more words of praise I could apply to the variety of works not men­tioned, but I could not do the show justice. The show closes at both galleries on November 4, and the overwhelming qual­ity and quantity of the works necessitates separate or return visits to the galleries to really drink in all its com­plexities.

·For those of you more inter­ested in primitive artistic styles, then Mary Ann Vouers' totempoles are for you. These are four, approximately nine feet high, totempoles con­taining many symbolic representations of life.

Also continuing along with a .Primitive, slightly disturbing atmosphere is John Garrett's "Storm Dreams of Wild Desert Dogs:' This is a rather large •. but contained, installation with many images including primitive ladders leading to hovering, birdlike images above. This is a subtle array of related objects creating an

atmosphere. BuCfor real impact, Daniel

Martinez's installation at Montgomery does the trick. The Martinez installation is composed of eight childsize castings with melting faces, reclining in a plastic suburbia setting complete with a renaissance fountain spewing blood. The overall effect is devastation a11d has to be seen!

Also included in the Mont­gomery show are some David Hockney lithographs which are very well crafted and straight forward.

My favorite piece is R. Brett Price's untitled "H" beam sculpture. This phenomenal piece, with its enormous stature (10' ·x 3 '), creates a voluminous presence .. Price had to construct a separate steel foundary to be able to create each of its supple curves and bends.

Editor's Note: On Friday Octo­ber 12, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., there will be a walking tour of the Lang Exhibit. Ceramicist Richard Gerrish, and installation artist John Garrett will be available to discuss their art on display.

The walking tour of Mont­gomery Gallery will be the following Tuesday, October 16. The guest artists have yet to be announced.

John has just under $5,000 to his name, and is very lucky that he has a relative who is willing to support him with $425 monthly (those are the only terms) for living expenses since he can not get on campus hom~ing at Reztip.

·Reagan: Man or ·by Sabrina Patenaude _

For:· the September 28 issue of the Los Angeles Times Jody Powell , Press Secretary under t he Cart er Adm inistration , wrote an art ic le entitled , "Reagan's Reflex: Duck, Hide and lie: Effort s to Evade Responsibility are Cowardly and Inexcusable~' For those of you who· missed the article, I would like to highlight some factual and alarming informa tion concerning our tough, strong and courageous leader.

The article was provoked by Reagan's recent response to the second embassy bombing in Beirut. Reagan declared, "We're feeling the effects to­day of the near destruction of our intelligence capability in recent years before we (took office):' The implication that the Carter Administration's handling of security had somehow impeded Reagan's attempts to protect the U.S. embassy in Beirut was con­firmed by an anonymous White House official.

Reagan's statement prompt­ed an outraged Carter and others, including C.I.A. Direc­tor, William Casey, to once again defend the Carter Ad­ministration. They noted the attempt to increase security and its efficiency by increas­ing C.I.A. financial support in 1979. The President later denied th'e accusation in a telephone call to Caner.

Reagan claimed that the press -had distorted his comments. He explained that he had really meant to blame " the Frank Church r:ommittee:• a Senate Intelligence Committee, for the weakening of the C.I.A.

The problem, according to Powell, invo lves Reagan's repeated efforts to place the blame, of any failed domesti-c or foreign policy, on anyone or anytbing but his own leader­ship. Powell writes, "He has blamed the Congress, p-revious Administrations, bad

11Even his lifelong pattern of irregular church attend­ance is now laid at the feet of t4_e Secret service and its cumbersome security procedures:'

~taft advice, the Federal Reserve, and the press for everything from the recession of 1982, to the deficit, to withdrawal of the Marines from Lebanon, to the sad state of superpower relations. Even his lifelong pattern of irregular church attendance is now laid at the feet of the Secret Serv­ice and its cumbersome security procedures:'

Powell admires those presidents who have taken responsibility for ineffective or

unpopular decisions made dur­ing their administrations. He notes Eisenhower's accept­ance of blame for the U-2 inci­dent, John F. Kennedy's ad­mission of responsibility for the Bay of Pigs, and Carter's admirable acceptance for the failure of the rescue mission in Iran. Powell's point is well 'made. Why must Reagan de­fend or deny every significant error or unfortunate conse­quence resulting from his decisions and policies?

with no success,'and is quicl_<­ly getting discouraged abou~ many things.

On the way to school the first week of September, see John's car die and roll down the Indian Hill off-ramp loaded with most of his worldly possessions. See John charge $660 on his VISA · card for numerous repairs. See John tell Jane of the incident. See Jane try to cheer him up by suggesting, with a chuckle, that he go out and buy himself a new BMW, that way he won't have any savings and will have $20,000 in loans so he will at least qualify for financial aid from Reztip. Jane laughed and wished him luck. John didn't laugh, because in a twisted

. way the suggestion was in­deed a very good one.

See John write his bi-weekly article for the student paper. John had just received his monthly $425 and it was a good thing, too, because rent

would be due in three days and he had $7.16 left in his check­ing _account. Receiving the check, an income which is in no way guaranteed, got him thinking about his financial .situation at Reztip and about the $4,622.50 check he had written seve·ral weeks ago for ·Fall tuition, which had sucked up his "savings~' See John wonder about how the hell he's going to pay for Spring semester and get something ·out of it at the same time. John was thrilled at being accepted by and loves being at Reztip. But John was told that he'd get on-campus housing and didn't, was told that he'd "most likely" get some financial aid

.and didn't, thought he could at least get a manageable col~ege related part time job and hasn't. John's not breaking any academic records but he's ·trying very hard. John thinks there's something really wrong about the whole thino.

Mouse?

What are lhe~pol1cy implica­tions of a leader who does not take responsibility for his own actions? Can a decision-maker learn from mistakes and avoid their reoccurence if he refuses to identify a legitimate cause? The two embassy bombings and the attack on the Marine garrison demonstrate the inef­ficiency and negligence of the Reagan administration to remedy the incomplete and deficient state of security for our representatives abroad.

-----

Can we blame Re&gan fully for his inconsistent and deceitful accusations? The President shadows his actions and convinces the general public that the consequences of his actions are not account­.fible to his Administration. As long as we allow Ronald Reagan to blame others without question, we only have 'O~rselves to blame for the repeated errors and irresponsi­ble actions of the Executive branch.

More Like A Stroll Than A March by· J. M. Tietren

We all looked so cool and revolutionary leaning against the cars in the Chicano Studies Center parking lot smoking cigarettes. Some of the more seasoned rebels related tales of former pro· tests, and eagerly I listeRed. After all, this was my first pro· test, and I was here to report. With paper, pen, and my Lois Lane mind-set. I speculated: would the crowd get out of control? Would we be ar· rested? I had visions of ban· ners and chants and wildly desperate faces. (Too much television, I suspect.) Finally, we tumbled into the school. van, leaving the seven o'clock sunset behind us, and headed towards San Bernardino.

Though this barely mattered to me at the time, the purpose of the demonstration was to protest the Simpson-Mazzoli bill. Senators Romano Mazzoli

(D-Ky.) and Alan Sim.pson (R-Wyo.) have devised a bill with the goal of curbing the flow of illegal aliens into th_f3 United States. The bj II, if passed, wi II penalize employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. U.S. labor leaders claim that Hispanics, who will often work for below minimum wage, take jobs away from American workers. Hispanic spokespeople argue that the bi II wi II increase discrimination, because employers will be afraid to hire anyone who looks Hispanic.

By the time we had arrived at the Public Welfare Building parking lot in San Bernardino, there were already 200 people gathered, mostly Hispanic minorities. Pen in hand, I moved to the front of the crowd so I could better see what was going on. The crowd was gathered around a white trailer where an emcee was try-

ing to spark-some p.olitical en­thusiasm· into the crowd. For the benefit of the television cameras he spoke in English. "The days of those kinds of laws (referring to the Simpson­Mazzoli bi II) are long gone. We're not back in the 30's and 40's when Adolf Hitler ruled the world!' I clapped in

discrimination; because employers will be afraid to hire anyone who looks Hispanic:' response as did a few others,, but generally the crowd was unconcerned with what was being said. An elderly man, confined to his wheelchair, seemed to be fiddling with his hearing a·id. A young girl, perhaps seventeen,· was chas­ing after her younger brothers. A number of older women stood in the back of the lot rocking their baby strollers

Pitzer Vision by Nicole Skinner

The Grove House, Pitzer's bastion of mellow escapism, is the topic of much angry discussion these days. Com­mercialization, Administrative meddling, emphasis on capi­talism, too much organization: these are some of the com­plaints that I hear in the air. Bureaucracy and Administra­tion are the buzzwords; we're all catching Grove House fever. It must be something in the coffee, which, by the way, has gone up in price from 25~ a cup to 40~. The rationale behind that is to recoup some of the losses from "stolen cof­fee!' I don't really understand that, nor do I understand much about words like bureaucracy, Administration, and politics.

But I do understand the Grove House on my own terms, and isn't that the way most people view the things they love? The problem ap­pears to be that everyone has their own terms for the Grove House, each one is convinced that their way is the way, and when thrown together we ca~'t seem to meet or even under­stand each other's terms. And I'm still confused. I don't like confusion or complications: And when the confusion and complications of the rest of the world become too much to think about, I look for some peace of mind at the Grove House.

My freshman year I under-

stood the Grove. House as a great place to get a bagel and orange juice on Sunday morn­ings after wild Saturday night parties at Pomona. We'd stag­ger up the walk around 11:00 a.m. and slink through the door with our eyes still glued shut. At our own pace we could pour the coffee which would miraculously open our eyes and take the fuzz off our tongues. Bagels warm and smothered in cream cheese took the edge off of our ap­petites, and afterwards we could lounge in the living room, smoke cigarettes, talk, and read the papers. No one cleared the plates before we finished eating, no one tried to hurry us along; there were no "feed them and leave them" Denny's tactics employed at the Grove House.

Spring semester my sopho­more year I understood the Grove House after my 8:00a.m. art history class at Scripps, when my friend Melinda and I went up there to assimilate in­formation and get the pain­tings out of our eyes. Cynthia always called out a cheery "Good Morning!" and we poured our own coffee, ordered juice, and relaxed on the front porch in chairs that we soon considered ours. Not too many people were 'up at that hour:, of the morning, and we often had the house and the porch to ourselves to ·stretch out, drink too much coffee, contemplate the universe, and solve the world's

problems.. The Grove House was our idea of the United Na· tions, and Me1inda and I presided over the world from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Mon­days, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

My junior year I understood the Grove House as a quiet place to study when I crept up the back stairs and hid in the Women's Center. The couch had its lumps, and the nights' cool temperatures made sweaters a necessity, but when I became tired I could distract myself with the literature on the bookshelf, placed there for educational and diversionary purposes.

This year I am still trying to understand the Grove House, mostly as a way of shedding some of my reclusive habits. I know it late in the morning when I can sit inside, consume large quantities of coffee, read my assignment for Criticism class, and talk with Joel or Chandre or Bill, or anyone I know and enjoy seeing up .there.

We all know the Grove House in our own way, ap­preciate it and enjoy it in­dividually because all of our perceptions are different. In the midst of these turbulent _times for the Grove House, let's not lose sight of our .reasons for going up there, and more importantly, let's not let the Grove House down. It supports us, shouldn't we sup­port the Grove House?

and gossiping. It seemed more like a family reunion than ~ political protest. The emcee, meanwhile, had given up trying to inspire the masses, and resorted to giving orders to line up for the candlelight pro­cession to City Hall. The Fourth Valley Missionary Choir. led the crowd in some Spanish hymns as the candles were lit. Quietly, almost blindly, the masses began to walk the four blocks to City Hall. Security helicopters with scanning beams, policemen with walkie­talkies, and security guards posted on building roofs seemed superfluous. By the time we reached City Hall the number of people had almost doubled. On the lawn of City Hall, in front of the statue of Martin Luther King, competent orators such as Caesar Chavez delivered inspiring speeches. Chavez claimed that the Simpson-MazoB bill was yet

another attempt to make Hispanics second-~class

citizens. He commended the crowd for participating in the demonstration, but stressed that marches and speeches were not enough. Hispanics need to use their rights as American citizens and vote out the Simpson-Mazzoli bill.

Sadly, and unfortunately most importantly, the crowd seemed obi ivious to the sense of the speeches. They clapped at the end of the speeches, but there was always a lengthy pause before the applause began so it seemed they clapped only in response to the orator's silence. Both sup· porters and opponents of the Simpson-Mazzoli bill know that it will increase discrimina· tion. Unfortunately, those who participated in the demonstra· tion, did not act as if they ·realized the importance of this piece of legislation.

letters To ~he Editor

by Kimberly McNear Have a complaint about the·

food served at McConnell? Sometimes when you have a complaint the best thing to do is to take it right to the source. Luckily, at Pitzer there exists such a source. The Food Com­mittee, consisting of ten students from all dorms and two staff representatives, meets on a weekly basis to discuss the food of the past week and student opinion. At the end of the year we get together to review next year's contract and the changes that should accompany it. The Food Service ~rnployed by the College is' very ·.flexible. Wit~ the help of ideas and sugges­tions from the students it is possible to make a change· as small as identifying the diet dressings with a label to as extensive a change as re-allo· eating hundreds of q9llars of funds for a specific·:ptJrpose.

One idea we are presently discussing is elimi'nating a "special dinner';• in favor of

augmenting the salad bar for a while. But, in order to better the food service for the good of all of us we need specific constructive criticism. Saying "The food sucks" won't help. The members of the commit­tee will be asking you what you think at meals and circulating a questionnaire. · So, when the opportunity arises, let us know exactly what your tummy is telling you. If you can't wait that long, seek one of us out yourself. This year's members are the following: from San­born - Joan Titcomb, Kathy Pinder and Rick Kemp, from Holden - Carolyn DeWitt and Randy Baker and from Meade Hall - Crystal Scurr, Lydia Gillesepie, Beth Wellington and myself. The staff represen­tatives are David Phillips, hall director of Mead and Lynn Richards, the guy who gives you your dinner. Mind reading is not amongst our repretoire of multi-faceted talents; so, please give us your sugges­tions- they will be put to good use.

.................... Executive One

Typing by Sebastian Matth~ws

You should listen to KSPC. If you appreciate music and you listen to the radio, you should listen to KSPC. It's on the dial at far left, 88.7 FM.

There is no excuse not to listen:

The station is on Pomona campus, so the signal is strong and clear.

There are about fifty dif­ferent DJ 's playing music each week, so you don't hear the same songs over and over (and over.)

Most commercial stations, and some college stations, play format music, top-40, or, some "genre" of music aimed towards some "type" of listener - KSPC does not do that. It is a station devoted to playing progressive music to an aud ience that appreciates music diverse and conti nuous.

Alot of stations have loud, obnoxious DJ 's, and loud, obnoxious advertisments -KSPC has neither.

KSPC is nor a slick stat ion, it is college radio, and some mistakes are made on the air. It is expected, or should be; the DJ 's pick the music they are going to play and read

from index cards. Not all the DJ's are experienced.

You should listen to KSPC, but you have to appreciate what it's trying to do, where it's trying to go.

You have to be able to listen to many types of music, give both the music and the DJ's a ·chance. You can't be just a "rocker;' or a "punker:' or whatever, because the OJ is going to play some rock, some punk, and even some funk or old Otis Redding.

You have to flow with the OJ , and when the next OJ comes on they are going to play different music, and you have to be ready to change along with them. If they aren't playing your music you either have to wait it out and hope they play some thing you like (or the next guy will), or you can call up and request some­thing - it can't hurt.

One good way to better understand why you are I isten­ing and what you are listening to is to know how it's being done. I can help.

Basically, the OJ plays music from five separate "bins": the " A;' "B;' " C;' "D;' and "N" bins. They also can play cuts off their own albums.

The "A" and "B" bins are

Alternative Entertainment

by Keith Merryman

Pitzer's Sunday Night Cinema Series offers a bill of entertainment that departs from the more commercial movies offered at the five col­leges as well as the Claremont area. Co-ordinator Natasha Goodwin has sought to offer films that are of an artistic nature and not readily · available to the public.

While some may call the films "avant-garde;' and others "hard-core;' there is one thing they have in common, they are all provocative, often inspiring, "driven" pieces that mark a refreshing alternative to so many films out today that have no backbone and were merely conceived as a gimmick to make money. Goodwin's . choices combine to make the series unique and well rounded, for it has already developed a following of students, professors and locals who can be seen every Sunday Night at 7 and 9.

Below is a list of the films offered this semester, with a short summary of each that will hopefully pique your in­terest and prompt you to go and see films that are not only entertaining and stimulating,

but prove an excellent excuse to take time away from your Sunday night studies.

October 7 - 7:00 & 9:00 TAKING OFF Director: Milos Forman - 1971 Cast: Lynn Carlin, Buck Henry, The Ike and Tina Turner Revue

A critically acclaimed generation-gap comedy about a 15 year old girl who drops out of the East Village in New York leaving her parents to explore the generation gap alone.

October 14 - 7:00 & 9:00 BEAUTY AN 0 THE BEAST Director: Jean Cocteau - 1946 Cast: Jean Marais, Francois Perier, Maria Casares

This hauntingly beautiful film captures the fairytale of a Beast, actually an enchanted Prince, and the self sacrificing Beauty who cares for him.

October 28 - 7:00 & 9:00 THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS Director: ·Roman Polanski -1967 Cast: Sharon Tate, Jack MacGowran, Roman Polanski

A brilliant blend of horror and humor, THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS involves

small collections of the latest in new music from both England and the States. The "N" and "D" bins are small collections of albums that basically recirculate music from the first three bins, the third being the "C" bin.

The "C" bin, actually a whole wall of records, houses everything A to Z: King Sunny . Ade & the Avengers, the Jam & Joy Division, and the Ventures & Vox Populi.

There is also a library. In it there are rather impressive, though not complete, collec­tions of jazz, folk music, rock, soundtracks , classical, and compilation albums. The library is accessible to the OJ.

So, the OJ uses the five bins, the library, and their own music, and intertwines them to create a three hour show. For example, a OJ will play an " A" cut, then a cut off a " B" album, then a few "C" cuts, a song off an album from their personal collection, then maybe a "D" cut, and so on.

In between all of th is music the OJ also has to keep track of alot of other things. He/She has to read a public service announcement every hour (i.e. Feed The Children, Fire Pre­vention Tips, etc.), read a sta-

the efforts of a bumbling pro­fessor and his assistant to destroy a family of vampires. Beautifully photographed, the film exploits the sexual fears of the old vampire tradition to their fullest comic potential.

November 4 - 7:00 & 9:00 ALEX IN WONDERLAND Director: Paul Mazursky- 1970 Cast: Donald Sutherland, Ellen Burstyn, Jeanne Moreau

Paul Mazursky·'s (UNMAR­RIED WOMAN, HARRY AND TONTO) scintillating chronicle of the day to day life of a young Hollywood director. Donald Sutherland is superb as Alex, in a role loosely based on Mazursky's early film expe­riences. Fellini-esque fantasy sequences highlight this delightful probe into "tinsel town:'

November 11 - 7:00 & 9:00 CRIES AND WHISPERS Director: lngmar Bergman -1972 Cast: Liv Ullmann, Erland Josephson, Gunnar Bjorn· strand

In this penetrating drama, Bergman refines a theme that dominates his cinema: the quest for spiritual peace in a world that seems to offer only despair and disorder. As in most of his films, this quest is visualized through female characters. Three sisters, one of whom is dying, gather together and open old wounds. Blood red images fi II the screen as Bergman dissects their hidden fears and emo-

tion ID every hour, and also a station Promo (KSPC spon­sored events, KSPC T-shirts, etc.).

They also have to keep track . of all the songs they have played, take requests from the request line, take meter readings (dealing with the. electrical power of the station), and all the time keep the songs coming - no break, no "dead air!'

Combine all that and you have one busy OJ. So if you hear a mistake maybe now you ' ll understand and not laugh too much. It ain't easy.

Sunday is alternative music day at KSPC. Sunday is the day you can hear other music besides new music. There are shows entirery of jazz (Andre Lewis hosts), old time rock, polka, and more. It is one of the better days to listen , always something new to hear, and new to learn.

If you want to request a song, or find out concert infor­mation, or just flirt with the charming DJ's, you can call one of two numbers: either 626-KSPC, or extension 2887. They both work for on-campus calls.

tions. November 18- 7:00 & 9:00 FORBIDDEN GAMES Director: Rene Clement - 1952 Cast: Brigitte Fosey, George Poujouly, Lucien Hubert

One of the most successful foreign films in the U.S. throughout the 1950's, FOR­BIDDEN GAMES is a poignant outcry against war. Two French children imitate the cruel world that surrounds them during the German Occu­pation.

December 2- 7:00 & 9:00 THE CLOWNS Director: Federico Fellini -1970 Cast: Pierre Etaix, Gustav Fratellini, Annie Fratellini, Anita Ekberg, Federico Fellini

Fellini interviews clowns of international and even legen­dary repute, recording some of their finest performances. On one level, Fellini's flamboyant exploration of circus life is a nostalgic look at a disap­pearing art. On another level, the film is an allegory where the world is a circus and we are its clowns.

December 9 - 7:00 & 9:00 YELLOW SUBMARINE Director: George Dunning -1968 -

Beautifully animated by Heinz Edelmann, Yellow Sub­marine translates the famous song into an exciting visual adventure. A joyous extrava­ganza of the Beatles in Pep­perland and a milestone in animation.

946-8112 ................ The Never Ending Story - A Film

by Darryl Brooks

When John, an introspective but socially inept boy of ten is taunted by his peers, he seeks refuge in a bookstore where he gets more than he bargained for. There, he chances upon the clerk (an old, cynical man) who is reading his most prized book - "The Never Ending Story:' Sensing John's natural appreciation for literature, the clerk's temperament softens and he allows the young man to borrow this unique work. While reading the story, John is magically whisked into the pages of the book and under­goes a series of adventures with the main character -Spiro (the young warrior boy). Spiro's task is given to him by the "Ivory Tower; ' and John joins him on a quest to destroy the "Nothingness" that is moving like a plague through the land of Fantasia. The tasks that confront both boys are of a Herculean nature, but the way in which they are tackled leads to both growth in the characters and an ultimate resolution that leaves the viewer not only surprised, but inspired as well.

The film is of superior qual­ity on a number of levels; the animation , wonderfully orchestrated soundtrack and strength in the development of the characters compliment the journey into Fantasia. It is well paced and manages to lead the audience through different stages of emotions - joy, ter­ror, love and sadness. The Never Ending Story's unique­ness lies in its ability to make the spectator a participant.

As a work of literature (the book preceded the film), The Never Ending Story rates as a literary classic along with Alice In Wonderland and Gulli­ver's Travels. As in the latter two, there are many analytical insights into the individual characters that examine the

.strengths and weaknesses of man.

The film presents two main messages to the viewer: first, there is a need for us, like John, to be more creative and independent in our thinking. Second, the constricting nature of 'black and white' thinking will alienate us even further from our humanity -and all of the technology in the world will not be able to save us from the "Nothingness"; for what use is a mind that cannot think?
