University Officials Release·Graduation Rates of Wake Forest Student-Athletes By Jennie Vaughn Aflillant NeWI Editar'

Graduation iates are higher for athletes than fortherestofthestudentbodyattheUniversity of Virginia, having held steady at about 95 percent for the last 10 years, said Richard McGuire, Virginia's director of academic ad­vising.

"Most athletes are competitive and goal­oriented. You can bring that work ethic into academics," he said.

"I thin1c overall most athletes are very moti­vated," McGuire said. .

He said an important pan of athletes' success is how well others expect them to do. "You must work very hard at creating a culture of positive expectations of academic perfonn­ance, " he said.

Fake I.D. Probe Nets Three Freshmen Men By Jennie Vaughn Assisunl News Edi!ar

University security is investigating three fres~men in a probe of the manufacture of fake drivers' licenses, said AnQ!ea Freeman. the director of media relations.

A university official discovered Monday night a fraudu­lent license held by one of the students, Freeman said. The ringwas·brokenupTuesdaynight,accordingtoanarticlein the Winston-SalemJournal. ·

Freeman said a preliminary estimate stated eight to 10 fraudulent licenses have been made, but the exact number has not been deteimined. ·

A person who is Convicted of manufacturing fraudulent licenses, which is a felony, couldreceivea three-yearprison sentence, said Vernon M9£ton, a special assistant to the commissioner of motor vehicles. ·

Using a fake I.D. to purchase alcohol is a misdemeanor, and the user could lose his real license for one year, Morton said.

Divin.e Comedy Translator Comes to Wake Forest Allen Mandelbaum, Author of Five Volumes of Poetry, Delivers Literature in a Style All His Own By Bill Horton Managing Editor

"Dante had iri the deepest sense something hick-like about him," in contrast to Petrarch. Who would dare: to say such a thing about one of the best known poets in western literature?

The answer is Allen Mandelbaum, Wake Forest's Kenan professor of Humanities.

Mandelbaum, if anyone, should know. He has translated more than 50,000 lines of po­etry, including the Divine Comedy in its en­tirety.

He joined the Graduate Center of the City University of New York in 1964, where he was a professor of English and comparative litera­ture and served as the chairman of the English program for eight years. He became professor emeritus a few years ago.

He said one ofW ake Forest's primary attrac­tions is the presence of Germaine Bree, a retired professor of English, who formerly held the Kenan chair. Mandelbaum became acquainted with Bree through Henri Peyre, a mutual friend who was the chairman of the City University of New York's graduate pro­gram in French while Mandelbaum chaired the English program.

Herecentlyread}4ns' sixth book, A Question of Value.

He also knows Gale Sigal, an assistant pro­fessor of English, who obtained her doctorate from the graduate center. ·

He was indirectly acquainted with Robert . N. Shorter, a professor of English and the director of academic support services at Wake Forest.

Mandelbaum said the final incentive to come to Wake Forest was a talk he had with Provost Edwin G. Wilson.

This semester Mandelbaum taught "Dante: The Divine Comedy," using his translation of the Divine· Comedy. Next semester he will teach a course called "Ideas in Literature."

Mandelbaum said he is attracted to poetry because he believes it can be "the most vigor­ous and precise form of utterance in terms of perception, intellection and rapture." His frrst translation of poetry was William Butler Yeats' "Sailing to Byzantium," which he translated into Hebrew at age 18. ·

The next work Mandelbaum will release is a fine-press book called Ungaretti and Palin­uru.s, which is homage to Giuseppe UngaretP, on the the centennial of his birth.

Coming soon are his collected poems, a new edition of Chelmaxioms, and his Convivio, which is three volumes of verse translation:

of release for the Convivio' s volumes will be made this weekend. He is working on acompl<~te translation of The Metamorphoses of Ovid.

Mandelbaum's verse work~ are Journeyman (1967); Leaves of Absence (1976); Chelmaxi­oms: The Maxims, Axioms, Maxioms ofChelm (1978); A Lied of Letterpress (1980); and The Savantasse of Montparnasse (1988).

His volumes of verse translation are Life of a Man, by UngareUi (1958); Selected Writi~gs of Salvatore Quasimodo (1960); The Aeneid' ofVir­gil (1972); Selected Poems of Giuseppe Unga­retti (1975); Inferno of Dante (1980); Purgato­rio of Dante (1982); Paradisio of Dante (1984); Ovid in Sicily (1986); The Odyssey of Homer (fall, 1989).

Mandelbaum has been a member of the Soci­ety of Fellows at Harvard University, a Rockefeller Fellow in Humanities and a Fulbright Research Scholar.

He has also received the Order of Merit from the Republic of Italy.

During his time at the City University, Man­delbaum said he spent short periods of time at various other institutions.

sor who responded. Sears said the group had issued invita­

tions through letters and the Old Gold and Black asking members of the Wake Forest community to send in written statements regarding their stance on divestment in South Africa. Sears said one professo~, Bryan, an~ one student group, SAA, responded to the invitation. He said their statements were included as an appendix to the final report. See Apartheid, Page 4

He is also familiar with James S. Hans,apro­fessorofEnglish., whom he met while teaching a seminar as a guest professor at Washington University. "I have followed all of James Hans' work with care and delight," Mandelbaum said.

Homer to Dante, On Twentieth Century Italian and Varia.

The final decisions concerning the schedule

Other positions he has held include Hurst Pro­fessor at Washington University in St. Louis, Honors Professor of Humanities at the Univer­sity of Houston, Distinguished Professor of Humanities at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Purdue University, which last year conferred on him a Doctor of Letters, honoris causa. Allen Mandelbaum, the Kenan proressor of Humanities, is America's

most prolific verse translator.

:Students Using Macintosh :Leave SU Office with Virus · By Jennie Vaughn . Auistant News Editor

Students who have worked on Macintosh . computers in the last month may have come · away with more than a comviered tenn paper; they may have picked up a computer virus on their disks as well. Computers on campus have

· been infected with the nVIR A and B viruses, said Rolando Mia, a computer technician.

Senior Robert Sebek, the chairman of the Student Union Film Committee, said at least

· 200 students who printed papers on the Student Union's Laser Writer during the two weeks be­

. fore Thanksgiving may have the virus. "It was on the hard drive well before Thanks-

giving. Anyone who has printed (on Student : Union's LaserWriter) in the last few weeks : probably has it," Sebek said. . The Student Union installed the Intercept pro­. gram this week, which detects viruses as soon as : an infected application is opened.

"People who have come in the office have . told us that it is apparently on the computer lab

network," he said. Mia said it is not unusual to see an increase in

• the number of reports of viruses near the end of the semester. "If a virus is going to show up, it's

: going to show up now when everyone is writing papers and completing projects. Everyone is using their computers now," he said.

A virus is a piece of program code that at-

taches itself to other programs. As soon as a user runs an infected program, the virus quickly spreads to the user's system files and other soft­ware. Viruses spread from one Macintosh to another by the sharing of infected software .

Like tumors, viruses may be benign or malig­nant. Benign viruses replicate but do not attempt to cause harm. They may display messages on the screen or other annoying but harmless things, but they do not attempt to damage software like malignant viruses do.

A few years ago, IBM personal computers were infected with the "Israeli" virus, which was programmed to erase hard drives on Israel's independence day. All currently known Macin­tosh viruses are benign; however, even these are almost always damaging.

Viruses occupy memory and disk space and frequently interfere with printing. It has been discovered that bugs in most viruses can cause unexplained computer crashes and other strange behavior in computers.

Students and faculty can check software for viruses and remove any that are found by using a disinfectant application.

Disinfectant 1.0 is available in the microcom­puter computer center, 009 Reynolda Hall, and on MacServe, the system used in the Macintosh labs on campus. Students can take software to the center from 8 to 10 a.m. to receive disinfectant, or they can disinfect their disks in any of the four computer lab on campus.

China Program Returns to Mainland . frqfe~~or Af.oves ~rogram to Taiwan After Tiananmen Square Ma_ss,a,q~e.

By Brad Dixon ·''di'J G'~ia"lliii'di'R¥;nir

The semester of study abroad in China next fall will actually take place in China, unlike this semester in which Wake Forest's students are living in Taiwan.

The program was supposed to take place in Beijing, China. However, when the massacre occurred in Tiananmen Square last summer, Richard Sears, a professor and the director of Interna­tional Studies, said, "We had to very quickly decide what we were going to do."

Because the State. Department is­sued a warning to all Americans and

· some concerned parentS indicated that they would not allow their children to go, Sears decided to move the student group, he said.

The Boston-based chinese Educa­tional Tours (CET), which was going

· to administer the program in Beijing, helpedarrangethemoveto the Chinese Cultwal University in Taipei, the capi­tal ofTaiwan.

the Beijing Foreign Languages Nor­mal College as planned.

Sears said: "As far as the university inBeijinggoes,theyweregivingusthe green light. CET felt that it was going to be safe to have the program, and as it turned out, they had students from other schools go, and it turned out fine. We simply did not want to take the chance."

"(InTaiwan,)wewouldatleastbein a Chinese speaking country," he said.

For swdents who did not want to spend an entire semester in Taiwan,

. CET refunded their money, he said. The students who are spending the

semester in Taiwan will have the op­portunity to travel on a I 0-day trip to China at t.'1e end of the program.

Students participating in the pro­gram are from schools in the South Atlantic States Association for Asian and African Studies.

Faculty Senate Advises Administration, Represents All University Schools By Lance Huthwalte Old Gold and Black Ropottcr

The traditional professor has sometimes been seen as a pipe-smoking eccentric who is usually at odds with the university admini­stration.

At Wake Forest, however, this image has been somewhat laid to rest with a faculty government.

The Faculty Senate, one part of the gov­ernment, has been serving an advisory func­tion to the administration since its endorse-

.. ment in 1967 by the Board of Trustees. Each of the university's schools is represented on the senate, drawing from Wake Forest Col­lege, the undergraduate School of Business and Accountancy, the graduate school and the professional schools of medicine, law. and management.

Susan Borwick, the president of the fac­'ulty senate and the chairman of the art de­partment, said "the senate is the only conduit for representatives from all schools to dis­cuss matters." The faculty members from each of the schools are nominated and elected by their peers. Administration members assume roles in the senate by virtue of their position or office.

The senate holds two announced meetings per semester and allow for unannounced meetings as necessary. These meetings are

conducted ina tyPical business manner, with the inclusion of special yearly reports from the president and the various deans·.

Most work within the senate is carried out by committees. The committees, which fonn the backbone of the senate's advisory mis­sion, meet according to their own schedules and make recommendations on issues as they come up.

The recommendations are passed along to the various administrative bodies in charge of implementing campus policy, which have the right to accept or reject the recommenda­tions of the senate.

The senate does not handle special interest issues as does the Student Government, said Barwick. However, the representatives from each of the schools do go to their constitu­ents to get a feel for their ideas. As a result, several ad hoc committees arise as certain interests are deemed imponant and worthy of discussion.

Barwick said !\he feels the student body with its government and the faculty body with its government are working together and keeping abreast of each other's actions and proposals. Barwick said she felt that "students are ultimately the common issue."

The three standing committees maintained and supported by the senate are as follows: fringe benefits, senior university appoint­ments and long range planning. Each of

and also extends the al(l to those attending other state schools to fifty percent of the current W akeForesttuition, which is $8,800.

The second major issue being examined by the committee is that of possible child care facilities for adrninistration,faculty and students. Other issues to be discussed in­clude a faculty club, continued faculty privi­leges at Graylyn pool and a proposal for a new or improved bookstore.

John Andronica, chairman of the Standing Committee on Senior University Appoint­ments, said his committee has been busy over the last several years because of its

One final function of this committee is to compile and review nominations in the spring semester for the Board ofVisitorsforthefol­lowing year.

The final standing committee in tlie senate is the Long Range Planning Committee chaired by Gregory Pritchard. Pritchard said his committee was much like the other two in the sense that it is also strictly advisory and that it includes members of all the schools.

Most recently, this committee has been busy prioritizing a list of spending options offered by the Capital Campaign Commit­tee, which is in charge of raising money for university interests. In the past, it has been easier to solicit funds because they have been used for buildings, said Pritchard. He said soliciting has become more difficult recently because new funds will go to fac­ulty and student support as well as special needs.

The Long Range Planning Committee has already held one forum this semester to discuss the issue with faculty members. Pritchard said he sees this type of action as yet another step in the development of the senate as means of communication and re­lief of difficulties between administration and faculty members.

"1 think the senate is an evolving thing. In the years ahead it will become more impor­tant," Prilchard said.

'Leadership' To Be Taught This Summer By Jeanne Wussler Old-Gold and Black Rcpartct

,.

A new leadership course entitled "Leadership in Democratic Society" will be offered next year during the flrst session of summer school.

Any freshman, sophomore or jun­ior interested in taking the course will have to apply fer one of the

· fifteen spots available in the pro­gram.

Once selected, the students will live together for four weeks in one of the university theme houses. The

. students will not be allowed to take other classes.

Katy Harriger, an assistant pro­fessor of politics and the director of the program, said the organizers wanted to create a group feeling among the students.

The course is aimed towards "ex­perimentalleaming" and the faculty is hoping for a diverse group of students who are not specifically considered leaders on campus. They

hope to attract as many different majors as possible.

"Everyone is a potential leader," she said.

The course, team-taught by Har­riger and Jack Fleer, a professor of politics and the chairman of the department of politics, will ask ques­tions of what leadership is and how leaders in a democratic society are responsible to citizens.

Students· will attend the Center for Creative Leadership in Greens­boro for two days. Students may also participate is an outdoor activity along the lines of an "Outward Bound" experience.

The program is being financed by the Jepson Foundation Grant, spe­cifically designed for leadership de­velopment.

The faculty decided to present this course during the summer session because it is the best time to do a class on an intensive level. Financial aid for needy students will be awarded on a need basis.

Santa Claus, Sigma Chis Hold ·Party for Local Schoolchildren ·By Alison Preston Old Gold and Black Reporter

As Christmas approaches, such topics as Santa Claus, Christmas Eve insomnia, wish lists and ~e baby Jesus are discussed in the conversations of schoolchildren on every playground in the United States.

The dbminant topics of conversation on college campuses, however, are far from festive: final·exams,all-nighters and lack of sleep, money, and time.

The Sigma Chi Fraternity knows this, and · for the past seven .years it has sponsored a

Christmas party for the children of the local Headstart, a pre-school program for under­privileged children aged 3-5.

One class of 20 children and their teach­ers celebrated the season at the Sigma Chis' house Tuesday.

Joe ·Edwards' Christmas Tree lot near

Taco Bell donated a tree, the fraternity's sweetheart court made brownies and cook­ies, and Brent Ciatti, dressed as Santa, dis­tributed wrapped presents to the children.

Several brothers said they and the children had fun playing with the new toys.

The real reward was not the presents or the food, but sharing in the Christmas spirit, they said.

Although most Greek organizations con~ centrale their efforts on helping children, the Delphi society spread Christmas spirit and cheer by giving to two adults who are hos­pitalized.

Working through Operation Santa Claus, the society sponsored two patients, Lisa G. (20) and Dwayne J. (27).

Student Stress Peaks During Holiday Period Old Gold IIlii Blldi: Staff llq>ort

: "Peace on Earth" read theholidaycai'ds, butmostofus wouldsettleforpeacearoundthefamily'sdinnertable or at least in the car on the way fD grandma's. ' , Stress during the holidays is as inevitable as pine

l!eedles on the carpeL The season slretches time and money fD the limit, destroys diet and exercise programs, and for good measure, tosses together relatives who have not seen each other for months or even years. · . ''The holidays are a time of expected happiness," said

Alan Cameron, a university counselor. "We're supposed tolookforwanltoit,andifwedon't, wefindpeopleshying away from us." · .. Counseling centers find the holidays to be one of their peak periods. One common concern is the anticipated stress of returning home, Cameron said.

"Going home is not a joyous thing for all people," he said. "Our families provide our greateSt joys, but also our greatest pain." · To deal with old wounds and bad relationships, it is

often best not to attempt to change others but to examine your feelings instead.

"Ask yourself, what is difficult? Examine your own contribution to the stress. It's the interaCtion or relating that's the problem," Cameron said

Internal statements should be checked for accuracy. "Daddoesn'tcareaboutmyfeelings.Heistoostrict,"may not be accurate anymore. "Dad may have lightened up," Cameron said."Parents are still growing up, too. We all continue developing until we die."

Thoughts also should be monitored for negative state­ments. Insteadofberatingourselvesmentally ,repeat often a thought of confidence, such as "I am lovable and capable."

De~elop an understanding of stresses that may be affectmg others, Cameron said. That relative who is driv­ingyoucrazymay beatanagewhezeheiscomingto terms with his own JIKXlality, or having a problem of his own, such as dealing with his aging parents.

Stress is a product of living, but when coping is a problem, talking things overwith a counselor, minister or trusted friend can provide relief, Cameron said.

Relaxation techniques are helpful, but like diet and exercise, they should become part of regular lifestyle, and not be a quick: fix. "It's the difference between going on a diet and eating properly all the time," he said.

When stressful feelings do occur, the ideal way to discharge them isthroughphysicalactivity.Siressevokes the primitive "fight or flight" response, so walking, run­ning, chopping wood or cleaning the basement are good uses for excess energy.

Stress also depletes energy. "We us energy to adapt to changes. Even in the most happy houses, when everyone returns, the family balance has shifted. Alliances that w~ before may have changed," Cameron said.

"I believe that the trustees would see which ways the committee was leaning after reading the personal statements," he said.

Sears said the committee was not stacked and that he was "irritated" that someone insinuated that. "There were a very large number of persons who didn't have a firm opinion when the study started."

An anonymous faculty poll was conducted in which the staff was questioned on their support of di­vestment. Twenty-seven professors chose to sign it in support of divesti· ture.

A petition was also circulated among students,and615 names were gathered. The members circulated the petitions dorm-to-dorm because tllley were not permitted to set up a public ,booth.

SAA plans to do another petition this spring when it may set up a booth. SAA is also trying to coordi­nate activities with other cainpus groups who have an interest in op­posing apartheid.

Reform Problems and Suggestions

T here's something rotten in the slateofNonh Carolina. More specifically, there's some­thing rotten at Wake Forest - the judicial

branch of Student Government. Last week, a news article ran in the Old Gold and

Black about a committee formed for the purpose of studying judicial reform at Wake Forest. After the Honor Council hearing is obviously necessary, but the composition of the committee is seriously flawed.

The majority of students on the committee are members of a judicial body or other part of SG. This is comparable to putting members of Congress and the Supreme Court on a committee and asking them, "Hey guys, what are you doing wrong?"

Honor Council Chairperson Carol Teague said in last week's story that she had difficulty divorcing herself from the defense of the system. It is only logical that other students will want to defend their organizations too. This does not seem to be a group conducive to developing innovativeideasforreform.

However, the committee has already been formed, and one must hope that its members will be able to view theirtaskobjectively. With this in mind, the Old Gold and Black would like to present a few ideas for developing more appropriate judicial processes.

If the system is to be both efficient and equitable, reform must take place both in procedure and in training for council and board members.

First, double jeopardy should be eliminated. Cur­rently, some violations are punishable by both the Judicial Board and the Hcinor Council. For example, if an underage student were drinking in his room with the door open and,· upon being confronted by his R.A, presented a fake I.D., he could have charges brought against him·by the Judicial Board for drink­ing underage and charges brought by the Honor Council for lying. This is ridiculous.

All cases should be the jurisdiction of either the Honor Council or the Judicial Board, never both. In the above case, it would be sensible for the case to be a Judicial Board case because the lie (presenting the fake ID) was committed jn order to drink.

Next, it would be advisable to revise all official literature so that references to theHonorCodeand the rules of social conduct are clear and consistent. Since the section of the student constitution pertaining to Honor Code violations appeared unclear to members of the Council in last week's ttial, the defmition of an Honor Code offense should be clarified.

The constitution should state something similar to the following: "To bean Honor Code offense, the act ~~nquestionmustbeprovenby1lteinvesug3Wt6liave-

i Jl.et.n ~~mit~ de).i~!el:t witb,the intent of per­, sohal gam at the expense of another member of the Wake Forest community. The following will be deemed violations if this is proven .... " Specific of­fenses such as cheating, stealing, plagiarism and lying could then be enumerated.

Finally, the composition of the judicial panels shou.ld be al~ered. Curren~}'. elected members of these boards are predominantly students who have a ready-made voting block, i.e. fraiemities and socie­ties/sororities. This is not exactly representative.

Perhaps if diversity were improved, the likelihood of oversights, which led to a mistrial last week, would be reduced. Half of t!Je members could be appointed by the faculty (rather than the administration.) This would reduce the number of questionably qu8lified members in our judicial bodies and would mitigate the ugliness of campaigning for the judiciary

When problems as signifiCant as those of Wake Forest's judicial system are addressed, input from as many sources as possible should be considered. Per­haps the public nature oflasl week's uial will cata· lyze continued interest. Judiciary problems should not be pennitted to fade into the background until logical, workable reforms have been implemented.

Our Version Of Inquisition May Go Beserk For many years these editorial pages have been

plagued with ridiculous satires. The students of this fme university have had ~o suffer time and

time again from revolting, sarcastic; insulting articles written by hacks who are 100 impressed with themselves to express their opinions in a logical, conventional matter. These satires have denied !he student body the chance to read serious editorials on more important matters, such as the virtues of the Orioles.

If you areas concerned as I am with the elimination of this scourge of satire, I have good news. Recent events have given me a plan that will eliminaie all satires from Wake Forest.

Doug Chatham will continue to sin against the administration when they learn someone has had his graduationdelayedforseveral months pending a Honor Council hearing'?

A third concern is that a satirist may be released on nitpickyproceduralgrounds. Wesh<?uldnotworry much about this. There were multiple violations of the SG Constitution and the Statute on Judicial Branch Proce-

. dures (e.g. SG Constitution, Article IV, Section 4, Sub- . · ·section c) in the Bell investigation, but these infractions

did not prevent his conviction.Now, if there is a success­. ful appeal, we may have something «> worry abouL · .

· One might worrythat the inquisitor - uh- investigator

According to our Honor_ Code, "~o student shall deliberately make a false or deceiving statement to , another member of the College community" (SG Constitution, Article IV, Section 3d(2)(e)). Since most satiristsdeli~lyputfalsestiiementsintotheirworks, every piece of satire that ap~s in the Old Gold and · Black can be considered a violation of the Honor Code.

Therefore, to get rid of satire, simply file charges against all the satirists. The Honor Council will do the rest, enforcing our displeasure over and over until these hack writers learn their lesson and stop assaulting us with

cases out, considering them ''not worthy of an honor offense" (SO Constitution, Article IV, Section 3d(2)(e)). Recent Honor Council actions have shown that it be­lieves all lies are "worthy," iri spite of the situations that provok«;~ them. If the Council is willing to convict some­one who was caught up in a historic, once-in-a-lifetime moment,willitnotalSQmeteoutjusticetothetruetroub-

may not be able to present a convincing case. This iS not a problem. TheHonor Council will know the investiga­tor personally sincehe/iVshe isoneofthem,and they will bequitehappytohelptheinvestigatorbyaskingrhetori-. cal, prosecutorial questions of thewitnesses. There will' be no, difficulty getting a conviction.

Thus, the venerable Honor CQde Will help eliminate . satire from this'great newspaper. Wake Forest will' be­come· more honest in discussing problems when it has eliminated those vicious writers who attack the perfect institutions of W alee Forest University, Inc., with tlieir ·

their so-called "humor." · lemakers hurting dear old Wake Forest? .

Others may object that the process takes too long, that we need a faster way to punish these clowns. However, the length of the process will help us. How many satirists

Bush's Lack of Charisma Leaves ·u.s.· In Shadows

M ikhail Gorbachev seems to have been playing Santa Claus to the whole world lately. His policy of perestroika has led to radical refonns in most European'Communistnations.His visits toothercountries,mostrecently to

Italy, draw cheering crowds. Europe is having a merrier Christmas than it has seen in years. .

George Bush, on the other hand, seems to have been hiding out somewhere close to the Nonh Pole. Since he entered office in January of this year, Bush has kept a low profile, much the way he did as vice-president under Ronald Reagan. When he speaks in public, it is not usually without preparation. When crises arise, he acts quietly and carefully ornotatall. Because of the low-key natureofhis presidency ,Bush has earned the repulation of a do-nothing president Democratic pollster Harrison Hickman has saidinarecentissueofU.S.NewsandWorldReport:"Bushhasbeenrelativelypassive as the world has erupted around him. He's a President without a cause ... "

One ofBush's biggest problems at this point may not be leadership ability at all but simply public image, or lack thereof.

Report Misinterpreted "

I havereceivedMr. Lisson' s open letter to Dr. Thomas K. Hearn Jr. and under­stand his concern. However, many points in Mr. Lisson's letter are based on an inaccurate newspaper article in the Octo­ber? issue of the Winston-Salem! ournal. Specifically, the following points in that article were wrong.

Firstly, the North Carolina Division of Radiation Protection did not find radia­tion levels ten times higher than the legal state limits. The inspector found a level that was ten times higher than the back­ground radiation level, but did not deter­minewhetheranylimithadbeenexceeded. The inspector was concerned because he expeclf4 the ash to be at the background radiation level, even though a condition of our license specifically allows for a small amount of radioactivity in the ash.

Secondly, the North Carolina Division of Radiation Protection did not suspend any of Bowman Gray School of Medicine's radioactive materials licenses. . That division issued ail order to stop an approved operation allowed under one license. The operation was temporarily stopped pending further action by us, but the license was not suspended. We have now received approval to resume that operation. .

Thirdly, contrary to what was reported, there were not multiple violations at the incinerator, and the incinerator has not been cited for violations in the past. A review of state records (which are avail­able for public inspection) shows that the incinerator has received only this one ci­tation. There have been no previous viola­tions at this facility.

Finally, the violations reported were not for our incinerator, but for all opera­tions allowed under our institution's "broad" radioactive materials license. In fact, the article contains errors in the re­porting of these violations. This license covers the receipt, use and disposal of radioactive materials at two of Wake Forest University's campuses, at North Carolina Baptist Hospital, and at Forsyth Memorial Hospital. Hundreds of people

· use radioactive .materials in thousands of procedures every day, from research to

ot~~.~:om1plexity of the more than ·regulations; we have very

Several important facts were not men­tioned in the article. First, the Winston­Salem Journai reporter was specifically told by both me and the state inspector that the radiation levels were compared to background radiation, not any North Caro­lina limits. Second, I told the reporter that we had no concern about the radioactivity getting into the stream for several rea­sons: l) the very low amountinvolved2) location protected from strong winds 3) these radioactive materials would not dissolve in water and could not get into the groundwater,and 4) the great distance to the stream. Third, the state inspectOr had no immediate concerns that this was a hazardous situation or that these specific materials would get to the stream, but he responded to the questions asked by the reporter.

On October 9, I met with the reporter and his editor to discuss the article. Dur­ing these discussions, I pointed out the nu­merous errors in the article. To date, no correction has been made by the Winston­Salem Journal, although a few of these points were mentioned in a subsequent article.

A few additional points in Mr. Lisson' s letterneedtobeaddressed.First,theNorth Carolina Division of Radiation Protec­tion required us to check only the ash from radioactive bums before it was disposed. This we did. The agency did not in the past require us to check ash from burns of nor­mal (non-radioactive) waste, and the fact that we did not routinely test this ash was not a violation of state law. Second, Mr. Lisson's letter implies that the university has exhibited a callous disregard for state law, citing ten violations over four years as evidence.

laboratory (research or hospital) violating this practice, we are cited.

Because of the complexity of our op­erations and the law. the inspectors expect to find violations, especially since they are really checking four different facili­ties under our one license. If Mr. Lisson were to check the citation record of other universities whose programs have similru: complexity,hewouldfind that we have an excellent record. Our facilities would not be licensed to use radioactive materials for very long if we did exhibit contempt for the law. Neither the university admini­stration nor I condone a disregard for the law.

Let me assure Mr. Lisson that we have always taken quick action to correct vio­lations or further improve our program when recommendations are made. This time was no different Based solely on the inspector's concern, the suspect ash was removed for decay within two days. We did not wait for the state agency to issue a letter before we took action. Likewise, we did not delay action even though no harm was caused or likely.

Mr. Lisson expresses a concern for the environment It might surprise him to learn that about 80 percent of the radioac­tive waste that is generated by our facili­ties is handled in~house, mainly through decay of short-lived radioisotopes. How­ever, I must not only be concerned about the environment, butalsoaboutthehealth and safety of our employees and the pub­lic. For this reason, we incinerate some of our employees and radioactive biological materials. The ash is safer to to handle than biological materials, and volume re­duction of waste is an environmentally preferred practice.

Theissueoflow-levelradioactive waste disposal is complex and the facts can be easily distorted. In the future, if Mr. Lis­son has concerns about actions taken by me or the university concerning radiation safety and disposal, he should feel free to contact me. I will be more than happy to respond to his concerns.

Fred Van Swearinger Director, Health Protedion

Taking a fact like this out of context does not prove his point. During our in­spections, two or three state legislators check ourrecordsandmakeunannounced inspections of our laboratories over sev­eral days. For instance, one item they might check is to see if laboratories are storing radioactivity and food in the same refrigerators. We have posted policies againstthispractice,andmysectionchecks forcomplianceofthisitem in our surveys.

of the reforms in Eastern Europe. Presi­dent Thomas K. Hearn recently lauded the opening of the Berlin Wall and con­current changes in East Germany .as the most significant political change since World War II.

The events in Eastern Europe certainly givegreathopefortheextensionofequal­ity throughout the world, but I challenge Americans to remember our own past to discover heroes and events that played as an equal role in ·the growth of human rights and the spread of freedom.

For each East German' shot at the Ber­lin Wall beforeits opening or who suf­fered demonstrating against political op­pression, there was a civil rights worker shot for organizing resistartce to segrega­tion, an elderly man beaten for attempt­ing to register to vote, a church or syna­gogue bombed or a family living below the subsistence level.

The men and women who sacrificed their lives to the civil rights movement freed more than 20 million African­Americans(anumberlargerthanthetotal population of East Germany) from many of the vestiges of 350 years of racial oppression.

The reforms thatguaranteed equal em­ploymentopportunitiesopened up Ameri­can society to allow women to more freely participate. The fundamental changes of the civil rights era clearly symbolized the extension ofhumanrights and freedom, for the frrst time, to the majority of the American populace.

Thesechangesmarkthe United States' largest step toward the realization of the democratic ideals which we have long claimed to hold and to wishfortherestof humanity.

It is not my intention to minimize the · significance of the shifting political forces in Eastern Europe, but to encour­ageAmericans to recognize the impor­tance of the accomplishments of the civil rfghts movement and to pursue the ful­fillment of the ideals of equality intro­duced during that era in our own nation.

America would not stand as the beacon of democracy, if not for the gains of the civil rights movement. America cannot truly represent this ideal until the mission of the civil rights movement is com­pleted. -

any misconceptions that arose during the trial. Letter to the Editor OneeditorialequatedwhatMr. Bell did totellingaprofessoryou will tum ====================== in your paper one day and then hand it in a day late, which in essence

constitutes a lie. By making a comparison of this llllbJre, it is obvious that the general public is not clear about what our group encountered while in Beijing. On the morning ofJune4thweexperiencedsightsandactions which Will haunt us all for years to come. We were in a city under siege: Beijing was flooded with both troops and protesters, who had. been involved in the massacre. Puddlesofblood and chalk circles unmistakably marked the spots where victims of this terrible event had their lives taken from them. Until you can look out a window and see a bloody sidewalk and experience the feeling of dead! in the air, you are unable to imagine what it was truly like in China on that morning. These events alone make what Tim Bell did more severe than themediais portraying it to be. As members of the group we believe that there was no other choice but to file charges against Tim Bell. He risked his life, our lives and the reputation of our school by his actions.

We would also like to.address T~'s accusation that the only reason charges were filed was bcicauseparents of the group members threatened to sue. This is also false. There was at no time mention by anyone's parents to take legal action against the school. This is but another attempt by Bell to portray Litcher and Ewing IW the bad guys.

During the trial, Tim Bell choose nottorelay.the facts of the situation but instead to attack both Dr. Litcher and Dr. Ewmg~ These personal attacks were unprovoked and uncalled for. Wake Forest has many fme professors and these two are among the besL They were not only the chaperones of the trip but they were. also our friends. These two men alwars ~ve and al,ways will go out of thetr way to help a student; and attacks sunilar to Bell s are completely unfounded.

Theftrst lie we would like to address concerns Tim Bell's use of the State Department warning which was issued on May 27; 1989. This warning said that American citizens should not enter China due to arising danger. Tim introduced this document at the trial and attempted to show lhat Dr. Litcher had no concern for our safety because he took us in anyway. What was not brought up is that the statement was not put into effect until we were already inside of China. Inside a country like China, where all news from theoutside 'world is carefully flltered, there was no way for our group to know about the warning.

. Tim Bell wasconvictedoflying,andas members of the group we feel this was the only just outcome. lfBell had chosen not to lie to the council during the trial, it would have beencleartotherestofWake Forest just how guilty he was. Instead, he choose to disregard many of the important facts of the

We would also like to address some misconceptions that have arisen concerning the trial. The Honor Council system has come under extreme criticism since the trial last Tuesday. The only criticism that should have arisen is that Tun Bell succesfully lied to die council under oath.

is no doubt that Tim Bell did not lie to better his education but instead to cover his tracks. It is time thatihepublic realizes that Tim Bell is not seeking justice but is only trying to discredit the group, and in the process the university. ·

Attacks Upon.BeltAre a Blatant Betrayal of Our Classic Ideals PeggyB~ach

Letter to the Editor

a professor justa cog in a wheel whose main purpose is to be manipulated by outside forces against the student body? T he case of Tim Bell brings to mind various questions that each Wake

Forest community member(particularlystudents}needstoaddress. First, the question of safety. No one told those Wake Forest

students or professors that they had to be in China. If the trip were required for a course, the requirements could have been changed if necessary. IfDrs. Litcher and Ewing were concerned for the safety of the group, they should have gotten out of Dodge. Therefore, Tim Bell did not endanger the group by smuggling the tapes out for NBC News. H there was any danger to the group, it was from being in China in the fll'St place.

Second, Dr. Litcher asserted that he believed Bell lied to him. A quote from Shakespeare immediately came into my mind: "Upon what meat doth thismyCaesarfeedthathehasgrownsogreat."IsDr.Litcheramindreader? How does he know what was in Bell's mind? Bell's explanation for the events in Chiria are very plausible considering the chaos in Beijing at the time. Would Drs. Litcher and Ewing have had Mr. Bell leave the safety of the Palace Hotel and venture onto the streets to Beijing?

smuggling the tapes out of Beijing for NBC News? Remember the First Amendment? It is not enough to wave an American flag at a Fourth of July paiade and say you are a good American. You have got to be willing to risk your safety (like our founders were) in order to assure your freedoms. Furthermore, many on this campus have told me that their relatives have fought and died in Germany, Korea and Vietnam. If you are not willing to risk your safety for democratic principles, then the fact that your relatives

. died in foxholes in foreign lands has been rendered meaningless. Bell was definitely morally correct in smuggling the truth out of China.

The most important question I pose is whether or not Wake Forest really provides its students with a liberal arts education. According to the verdict handed down by the Honor Council, no. The purpose of a liberal arts education is to reach how to solve moral dilemmas. Clearly, the students on the Honor Council have not learned lhis.

Dr. Litcher was clearly oveneaching in his accusations. By not asking that Litcher clarify the reasons for his charges, the Honor Council allowed Bell to be publicly humiliated forwhatamountedtonothingmore thana miscommu­nication:

If you do not have the courage to stand up to a professor, then will you also fail to stand up to your boss who is skimming company funds off the top; to your spouse who is molesting your child; to an Adolph Hitler who asks you to believe that an extermination of a race is the final solution? These are hard questions that need to be answered. Next, has it occurred to anyone that Bell should be applauded for

Fourth, does this incident mean that students can no longer trust their professors? Should students tape record conversations with a professor? Is

Honor Council's Considerations in the Bell Case Were Crystal Clear· N ow let us see if I have the facts straight Litcher

gave Bell permission to visit the Washington Post correspondent as long as he adhered to

three conditions: thathe not enter thecenterofthecity or Tiananmen Square, that he return to the group's hotel at the first sight of danger or blocked roads and that he call Litcher at 11 p.m. or upon reaching his destination to assure his safety.

Did he enter the center of the city? Yes, the Imperial Palace Hotel was in the center of the city. Did he call Litcher when he reached his destination? Yes, he did. But, was the destination that Bell ended up in the same destination that Litcher or Ewing thought that he would end up in? No. And did Bell tell them this? No. He could notdiscusshispresentposition because he says, "I knew he (Ewing) would not share my belief that this was a great educational opportunity," and be thought that Ewing would tell him to return to the base hotel where the others students were staying. Finally, did Bell ever have fear for his personal safety? Well no, notreally, at leastnotbeforehecalledEwingthejirsttime.Although, after that first call, he said he did have fear for his personal safety when the NBC producer told him that it existed. Also, he said that he maintained telephone contact with Litcher throughout the night, never once mentioning the danger that the NBC producer had warned him of.

Now doesn't this fear come under the auspices of the second of the three conditions to originally leave the

Gregg Everett Letter to the Editor

group's hotel? Yes. This condition says that Bell must return to the group's hotel at the ftrst sight of danger.

Not only was he in the center of the city, which violated the ftrst of the three conditions, but he also remained where h.e was at the first sight of danger (spelled out to him by the NBC producer) instead of returning to the group's hotel, thus breaking the second of the three conditions that he was supposed to adhere to.

As to him breaking the third and last condition: that he call Litcher at 11 p.m. or upon reaching his destination to assure safety. Surely, we can easily see that he called Ewing. And he even assured Ewing of his safety. The thingthatshakesmeupisthefourwords"uponreaching his destination." Whose destination is his? Is it where Litcher presumes that be is- at the Washington Post headquarters- or is it where Belllmows that be is not supposed to be- in the center of tb~ city?

The latter is definitely the answer. Even though it is apparent that Bell lied to Ewing, two anicles in Dec. 1 Old Gold & Black condemning the Honor Council tried to explain his lie on a good side.

One way was 10 admit that he lied, liS Scott Demarchi

did when he said, "Of course, Bell was not quite where he was supposed to be ... His lie was in misleading the professors to his whereabouts. In its most basic form, the deception was one we have all used: 'Hi mom, I'm safe at Joey's house; don't worry about me."'

So,itisjustalittlewhitelie,right?Well,letussuppose that Ewing had been told momentarily after hanging up with Bell that the group had to leave Hong Kong imme­diately. Litcher thinks, "OK, I'll call Bell and tell him to hurry. on back; so that we can leave right away." He calls the Washington Post headquaners and asks to speak to the correspondent that is supposedly speaking with Bell The correspondent says that he has not seen Bell in the last hour, then hangs up. Now what kind of situation is Litcherin?Hehastwodilemmasonhishands.Oneofhis students is nowhere to be found, and he knows that the group might not receive their group visa, which they are traveling und~r. because the absence of one person could cause the entire group to be detained.

This in particular really frightens me, especially as I read the Student Handbook which clearly states that, "Its (the honor system's) essence is that each student's word can be trusted implicitly and that any violation of a student's word is an offense against the whole commu­nity ."In this case, the whole community was the particu­lar group of students and advisers on the trip, and Bell's "little white lie" very well could have been an offense againstthewholecommunityhadthegroupnotreceived their visa on the eve of the great tunnoil and disruption

in this enormous Communist country.

Another way to perceive the four words "upon reach­ing his destination" is to observe what Ashley Hairston says in his "Honor Council Fiasco ... "article. He at­tempts to explain Bell's actions by saying that, "Bell did not say that he had arrived ina place not covered by their agreement"

The point that I see, though, is that he did not say that he was at the Washington Post headquarters either. He did say, however, that, "I knew he (Ewing) would not share my belief that this was a great educational oppor­tunity~"So,heknewthathehadtodeceiveEwingsothat hecouldremainatthe ImperialPalaceHotel,anditisnot debatable at all w~etherorn_othedeceivedEwing. Thus, the Honor Council has a third reason to jump on Bell's back. That being that he most defmitely broke Article 4 of the Constitution of the Student Government which says, "No student shall deliberately make a false or deceiving statement to another member of the College community.'.' The ~ord deceiving should open your eyes, Mr. Hairston, smce youaresmartenough to refrain from bluntly stating that Bell lied as Mr. Demarchi stated.

Surely,therewouldhavebeennoproblemhadBellnot consented to the agreement, but he did aclmowledge making the pact with Litcher, thus the problem arose, and therefore we see that Tim Bell managed to break all three conditions of his agreement with Drs. Ewing and Litcher.

Academic Counseling Program Aids Student Athletes . By Russ Blake

Old Gold and Black Smiar Repodt:r

It takes much practice and hard work for an alhlete to improve his perform­

~ ance in a game. , The same can be said for academics. : · Eachstudent-athleteat WakeForestfmds :. time limited by practice time and travel ~·~ time, making it quite di(ficult to com­:~ plete work and study for exams. - It was with these difficulties in mind

:: that Wake Forest's Athletic Administra­~, tion, within the past two years, made a :~ wholehearted commiunent to ensure •. academic success for student-athletes in :: the classroom by establishing the Aca­~ . demic Counseling Program. • Directed by Doug Bland, the program - " bas improved by leaps and bounds over

the past two years. Bland is assisted by - assistant Mike Pratapas and Secretary

DanaMcGuin. Bland said that his job as director is to

make sure each athlete succeeds in the classroom.

"I try to put in place a structure that

gives a student-athlete the best opportu­nity to be successful," he said.

The program is located on the second floor of the Mark C. Pruitt Wing of the Athletic Center.

Bland said that this area was previ­ously used for meetings between the coaching staff and the football players, but the construction of new locker room facilities made the area available for the Academic Counseling Program.

Bland said that he credited Director of Athletics, Gene Hooks and the Athletic Administration for their support of the program.

As pan of the summer construction of the Academic Counseling Program of­fices, Wake Forest's Athletic Admini­stration contributed $75,000 for the ac­tual construction and $35,000 in com­puter supplies and software.

The result is a climate that is very conducive to allowing the athletes to produce quality work.

Thefacilityincludes4,200squarefeet of working space. There are two large study rooms, three rooms designed for

group tutorial sessions and twelve pri­vate individual study rooms.

The computer lab and a reading and study lounge for group or individual work were the two main improvements this past summer. Approximately fifty student tutors are paid to help out the student-athletes in their studies.

The program is open to all of Wake Forest's student-athletes, regardless of the spon that they participate in.

First-semester freshmen are required to use the program, as are any student­athletes with grade point averages below 2.0.

Also, any student-athlete who is rec­ommended to use the Academic Coun­seling Program by their respective coaches must also use the program.

The program is responsible for moni­toring the performance of each student­athlete at Wake Forest.

the Academic Counseling Program sends out a letter to the professor of the class tO try to fmd what the difficulties are.

If the student-athlete continues to do poorly in one or more of his classes, he may be referred to the dean, just as any other student at Wake Forest would be. · Bland said that be believes that.most athletesatWakeForestwanttosucceedin the classroom and rnakeasinc:ereeffon to do so. Bland said that the above scenario is the exception ndher than the rule.

"When I say I moni10r their progress, I don't want to imply that I stand around andwan:hthem,that'snottheease,"Bland said.

''Given the oommitment and time de­mands ofbeingaDivision I athlete, I have . to make sure that they are getting their . work done and not losing focus of why they are bere.'' be said.

,__,. After registration, Bland and his staff receiveeachplayer'sscheduleandwaach their progress in each class carefully.

If it is learned that a student-athlete is doing poorly in oneormoreofhisclasses,

"Byandlarge,ourstudent-aahleteswort diligently. There are exceptions to that. but the majority of them really want to do well."

mlllehed twoofthemostcom­petitive conference's in the

nation against each other. The eight ACC teams faced the top eight teams of the Big East to produce an exciting four days of quality basketball.

Before the contest Duke Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski expressed anappreciationofwhattheChallenge meant. "It will be an historic event.'' Krzyzewsldsaid. "Whenyou'replay­ing games, you don't like to~ of doing anything historic, but I think a few years from now, we willloolt back: at the start of this as one or the reallyneatthingstohappenincoUege basketball."

Going into the Challenge. theA¢C held a 28-26 edge over the Big Elist since 1979-80, but the cooferenQes mrely scheduled one another.

that game for the Tar Heels with a last-second jumper to carry North Carolina to a 63-62 victory.

The matchups for the Challenge weredetenninedby a preseason poll­ingoflheBigEastandACCcoaches.

"The nice thing here is it's a top to bottom measurement," Big East Commissioner Dave Gavitt said. "It maynotbeconclusive. TheACCmay win nwcbups between the first and third seeds. What does that say? They're better at the top, but we're decper'l"

The ACC-Big East' Challenge was the brainc:bild of Gavitt. who fast proposed the matchup in 1981. The ACCrefusedhowever,notinterested in the newly-founded Big East.

The breakthrough carne in 1988, when Gavitt along with friend and ACC Commissioner Gene Corrigan sold the idea to schools at their re­spective athletic directors' annual meetings.

"It took a little selling job.'' Corri­gan said. "The initial reaction of our people was, 'We have 14 conference games plus a deal with NBC. Do we really need another one?' But our feelingwasthattheACChasbeenout front in many things. We were the first ones with television syndication, and we've had a postseason tourna­ment longer than anyone. Finally, we said, 'Thisissomethingnew.Let'sdo it.'"

As new as it was, the event sold, even at the $30 ticket price.

McKeon, Tournant Qualify For Clay Court Championships By Jay Reddick Old Gold and_Black Reportct

Tournant won the match 6-4,6-2, but an injury to another competitor put McKeon into the main draw of the tourna­ment with Tournant.

·WaiteForest'swomen'stennisteamplaceditsfustrep­resentatives ever in a national intercollegiate tournament, as freshmen Diane McKeon and Celine Toumant quali­fied for the DuPont National Intercollegiate Clay Court Championships, held in Hilton Head, S.C., Nov. 15-19.

Head Coach Lew Gerrard called !he players' appear­ance in ·the main draw a "milestone" for the women's tennis program, and said both Toumant and McKeon "played extremely well during qualifying."

Both McKeon and Toumant were defeated in the frrst round of the tournament McKeon fell to Eveline Hamers of Kansas 6-4,6-3, and Tournantlostto MamieCenizaof UCLA 6-2, 6-3.

McKeon and Toumant were two of four players to qualify from a field of 64.

During qualifying, Toumant defeated Doneta Chorney of the University of Wisconsin 6-3, 6-2, Amy Hise of Clemson 6-2, 6-1, and Brata Niedzialek of Northern Louisiaila 6-2, 6-1.

McKeon defeated Beth Marrow of the University of Alabama 6-4, 6-4, Giovanna Devercelli of Northern Louisiana 6-1, 6-2, and Claire Sessions of SMU 6-0, 6-2.

McKeon and Tournant played for tbe qualifying spot

Despite the Demon Deacons' early exits, Gerrard said both freshmen "played very solid," with "lots of improve­ment already since the beginning of tbe season. Both Celine and Diane have bright futures ahead of tbem, and they may have set the standard for the whole team for the rest of the season."

not always operate in this manner. The idea of counseling first appeared in the early 1970s, when trainer Jody Puckett tutored many of the football players on an informal basis.

Later, former assistant football coach Bill Faircloth assumed similar duties for several years.

In July of i984, Gil MacGregor, a former basketball player for the Demon Deacons, became the frrst full-time academic advisor.

MacGregorstayeduntil1987, when he left to take a job with the Charlotte Hornets of the NBA.

Bland was named director in the fall of1988.

Bland is no stranger to Wake For­est

He earned his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from Wake Forest. Bland then worked in the Office of Admissions for 11 years.

When he heard that tbe position of Academic Counseling Program di­rector was open, Bland said he knew that was something he would enjoy doing.

"During the time I worked in the Admissions Office, I worked with the

coaches of various sports all through those 11 years, so I had a real feeling for the athletic department," Bland said.

"So when the job became vacant it just seemed like something I wanted to do. It seemed like a nice change for me and a chance for me to bring to this job some of the skills I had ac­quired over the 15 years I have worked here."

Bland said that he estimated that around 75 percent of the student-ath­letes at Wake Forest use the academic counseling facility. If graduation rates show some improvement, then the programhasdonequitewell,altbough Bland tended to downplay the corre­lation.

Sixty-fivepercentofWakeForest's football players graduate within five years, and three of the four seniors on the basketball squad are expected to graduate on time.

Non-revenue student-athletes graduate at the same rate as non­atbletes at Wake Forest.

"We certainly have here, for our needs and purposes, one of the best facilities in the ACC," Bland said.

"It's important for us to create a climate that says we have a high expectation for you academically and that we expect you to graduate."

"We're not here just to make sure the student-athlete retains his eligi-

The level of competition and close­ness of the games produced an event thatfarsurpassedmostfan'sexpecta­tions.

Previous to tbe Challenge, Gavitt said, "you could go back and replay the games, (you'll probably find that) six of them could have gone either way."

bility and that's it We want to see each student-athlete do the best that they can, because we believe that a Wake Forest education can help you to get a good job or allow you to continue your education in graduate school."

Just from talking to Doug Bland, it is obvious tbat he has a sincere desire to help the student-athlete at Wake Forest succeed, not just by scoring touchdowns or by throwing down slam-dunks.

He wants them to get a college education so that they can succeed in the game of life.

This is an event which will obvi­ously attract attention in future sea­sons.

I'm sure I speak for many fans when I say that if the Challenge we witnessed this past week is an indica­tion of things to come, we will be anxiously awaiting each year's ACC­Big East Challenge.

Choir Members Prove Competence, Versatility· By Michelle Carr Old Gold IIJid Black Office Mqcr

~e Ch~~ ,Union, the Madrigal Singers and the Concert Choir brought the holiday spmt mto Brendle Recital Hall last night with their Christmas Choral Concert, led by Choral Ensembles Director Brian Gorelick.

The C?ncert began with the Choral Union, the largest of the three choirs, performmg Healey Willan's "Hodie Christus Natus Est" in Latin. Although the piece is a song of praise, the group stressed the more delicate aspects of the piece. Forthc;~irtbird selection, the Choral Union performed Antonio Vivaldi's "Et in terra pax" from his Gloria . Singing in Latin, the group built the simple chorus of"And on earth peace to men of good will" into an overwhelming intensity which soared through the hall. · ·

TheChoralUnionendeditsperformancewithadramaticallydifferentpiece, the English carol "I Saw Three Ships." Whereas the other pieces had verj spiritual, choirlike melodies, the carol was a hearty Christmas tune. The choice was ap~pri~te, proving the group's musical variety.

Followmg the Choral Union, the Madrigal Singers took center stage with exc~llentstagepre~nce. For their second selection, the groupperformeda col­lectionofthreeMedieval Carols: "QuemPastores", "Nowell, Nowell-Tidings True" and "Nova, Nova" which told the story of Christ's birth. "Nowell, Nowell-T~dings True" featured soloist junior Adrienne Thomas, and seniors Susan Knight and John Bonar perfoniled solos in the third carol, "Nova,· Nova." All three soloists, along with the Madrigals, performed with flawless execution. Next, the Madrigals performed a Spanish carol, "Ya vienela vieja," whic~ they performed in the original language. The Madrigals added a : Sparush flavor to the song by snapping their fingers.

In their last piece, the Madrigal Singers performed "He Is Born. "The French carol was the choir's most energetic selection and it was also theii most competently performed. · !.. ·

The final performerS of the evening were the members of the Concert Choir. who opened with Anton Bruckner's "Virga Jesse." Singing in Latin, th~ Choir'sfustselection was a return to the spiritual pieces performed by the two previous groups. Demonstrating excellent articulation, the Choir produced rich, full notes with a touch of vibrato.

The next selection was the·old French carol "Le sommeil de 1' enfant Jesus." The upper and lower range vQices maintained a tight interweaving of melody and harmony throughout the lullaby. Following the lullaby was another French carol, "Ding Dong, Merrily on High." This selection begins with the lower voices imitating the resonant tones of deeper bells. The music quickens with the addition of the upper voices.

Both of the next selections, Samuel Scheidt's "0 Little One Sweet," conducted by senior Tim McSwain, and John Rutter's "What Sweeter Music" were a return to the gentler, more soothing tunes at the beginning of the concert.

The Concert Choir provided a strong and polished ending to an excellent concert, featuring strong performances by all three choirs.

The main message in the music is about being fired up for God. "On Fire," "Hit You Where You Live" and "Stand in the Gap" talk about Christians reaching out for Christ.

Lead singer Annie Lennox is as vocally versatile as ever, singing bal­lads, rock and soul with equally im­pressive results. Guitarist Dave Ste­wartevencontributes to the vocals on "(My My) Baby's Gonna Cry," one of the album's best cuts. Also notable is "Revival," a soulful tune slightly reminiscent of "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves."

With their first major label album, the Indigo Girls have taken college campuses by storm, generating con­siderable interest among young people. Tickets for their concert ap­pearance in Wait Chapel sold out quickly, with many students camping out for front row seats.

The sound of the Indigo Girls is contagious - all of the songs have messages that go back to what is simple and what is real.

Columnist Criticizes White Christmas, Questions Value of 'Steroid Dandruff'

Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's Day and what­ever else falls at this time of year marks a special time for me, a time of being with the family, gifts,

happiness, gifts and, best of all, bemg away from this evil, malodorous place. (Is this touching or what?)

It is a time filled with thoughts of snow. Why, why do normal, rational, stupid people like snow so much? Is it really that good?

Is there really a reason why people fantasize about a white Christmas? Is it like, "Oh look, a white Christmas! Gee, thismakesmesohappy! This just solves everything, including my manic depression." What is so good about a white Christmas? Can anyone explain it? Or is it just one of those things that are just .fh (where the hell is the G?) ood for no good reason,like paintings of grey rectangles?

"Oh hey, what is that painting of'/" "Don't know. It doesn't mean anything ... it's just

good!" . . What is so good about this? Before, the only redeeming

thing about snow was that you could get out of school and sleep, but you cannot do that anymore. Think about it­it is dull, grey, cold, white and depressing.

Maybe it is pure chewing satisfaction, like Wrigley Spearmint Gum. Hell, if I had to wear those ugly, out -of­fashion, green, '70s, geek clothes, l would hate myself too, even enough to do those stupid, lobotomized com­mercials. Let us just all be lobotomized and worship the

Anyway, snow sucks. It keeps you trapped inside. It is cold and soggy, and you have to go out and shovel the crap so you can have plenly of open spaces for the next round to come down onto and fill up. Besides, what the hell is snow? I will tell you what it is. It is real big dandruff running mad on steroids.

Plus, it is real big in major tourist traps like Siberia. If you really want a white Christmas, go to Siberia; you will have plenty of snow, enough to last you and your loved ones, along with any rabid pets, for eternity.

You know something? Snow reminding me of Siberia reminds me of communism. So, if you use simple logic, you have to realize that snow is actually cold, soggy, communist dandruff on steroids, with the overall appeal of tasteless gum, wearing a bunch of tacky '70s disco outfits.

The theater she taught in then was very different from the facility in the S.cales Fine Arts Center. Clint McCown, former smdent of Mrs. Fullerton, best illustrates what the conditions were like: "Our theater, that black-walled box hidden in the library attic, took its power from our mutual enthusiasm and from the necessity of creativity, of making magic from whatever resources lay at hand."

Although there are now different students and different facilities, Fullerton said she did not feel that the productions she works on now are any better than the productions

Fringe Benefits Committee Studies Changes

S tudents are probably aware that, in addition to salary, members of the faculty at Wake Forest receive a variety of other benefits as part of their total compen­

sation "package". These are commonly referred to as "fringe" benefits and include such things as the medical and retire­ment plans. Such benefits are, of course, a part of compen­sation for employees of nearly all large organizations, not just those working for academic institutions. It may also not comeasaswprisetostudentstoknowthatfromtimetotime the administration, on its own or with·faculty encourage­ment, considers whether to alter these benefits.

Occasionally these proposals, if implemented, may re­duce costs to the university, but more frequently, as one might imagine, costs would go up. For reasons to be discussed, such an increase in benefits does not necessarily require an increase in tuition, but it is certainly one among many pressures in that direction. The comments below provide an example of a proposal to increase a benefit to the faculty, the rationale for it and how the additional costs may be covered.

At the present time dependent children of full-time fac­ulty and staff pay 6% of the tuition per year in lieu of the nonnal tuition in the undergraduate school, should they be admitted to Wake Forest Should a dependent child of a Wake Forest faculty or staff member wish to attend a school other than Wake Forest, the child will receive $2,000 per year, or the tuition the student is required to pay, whichever is less. This year the Fringe Benefit Committee of the University Senate has been examining this tuition "conces­sion", as it is called, to detennine if it should be altered. After considerable study and discussion of the matter, it has

Richard D. Sears

been decided to recommend to the Senate that the conces­sion for the children of faculty and staff who attend Wake Forest should remain the same, but that dependents who attend other schools should be provided with 50% of Wake Forest's tuition, or the tuition at the institution attended, whichever is the lesser amount.

The committee arrived at the recommendation described above fortwoprincipalreasons: first, the $2,000concession for students who attend a school other than Wake Forest has notbeenchangedsinceitwasputintoeffectin 1985.During the time since then tuition costs at most colleges and universities have gone up at least 10% a year, as Wake Forest students and their parents are only too aware of! As a result, the value of the concession has declined substan­tially. Second, the Committee discovered after studying 12 other colleges and universities, with whom we are fre­quently compared, that Wake Forest's tuition concession, especially for faculty children attending other schools, is among the lowest in the group.

The 12 schools studied included Bucknell, Davidson, Duke, Furman, Richmond and Tulane. It is of interest to note that nine of these 12 provide a full waiver of tuition for dependent children attending their own institutions,and eight allow children to carry 50% or more of their tuition to other institutions. Indeed, six of these schools grant 70% or more of their own tuition to be applied elsewhere. Finally, it should be stressed that only one of the 12 institutions

studied provides "home and away" tuition concessions of lower monetary value than Wake Forest's. It thus seemed to the committee that an adjustment in this benefit should be seriously considered.

Should the Senate as a whole adopt the proposal of the Fringe Benefits Committee, it will then go to the administra­tion as a recommendation. Assuming that the administration finds merit in the proposal, how could it be paid for? There are several options, and not all would necessarily lead to an increase in Wake Forest's tuition. The "enhanced" benefit could be financed by giving faculty somewhat smaller increases in salary, thus keeping the total compensation package the same rather than expanding it A larger tuition concession might also beaproductofthelarger endowment, which the next capital campaign will try to create. Neither of these approaches would require tuition increases. However, it could be decided that increasing this or some other benefit should not come at the expense of salary improvement, and should not await a larger endowment In this case, a tuition increase might be seen as necessary.

Let me emphasize before snidents descend on my office, or someone else's, that no decision has been made to change the tuition concession. Therefore, it has nothing to do with the proposed tuition increase for next year. However, it does serve as a fairly good case study of one of the many upw~ pressures on tuition. This is not only because if approved 1t would cost money, but because in a world where the value of the present concession has been dropping it is fairly easy to make a good case for the proposal. Sears is Professor and Director of International Studies, Department of Politics.

someone has evidently decided thatstarus.is more important than providing a reasona­bly-priced education for bright students.

Certainly there are many different groups ·whose needs must be considered when ob­taining and dispensing financial resources. But if student concerns are not foremost, with faculty concerns as close second, then radical changes need to be made at Wake Forest.

There are numerous reasons not to in­crease tuition. The foremost reason is that Wake Forest will lose good students who cannot afford to meet increasing costs.

How can financial aid increases, which are mation that I did not find. Wake Forest has traditionally been a low­

cost, high-quality school. Now, after having achieved an excellent reputation as such, consistently less than the inflation rate, pos- Since tuition is not being used for its Dillingham is a sophor.wre.

Sensible Analysis Shows That WFU Is a Bargain of Its Kind

T

o be informed about tuition is to know that Wake Forest • s tuition is not high. For the type of college that Wake is, its tuition is, if anything,low. In the current

academic year, tuition (including fees) is $8,800 at Wake. Consider the following: Davidson, $11,327; Washington

and Lee, $10,205; Randolph-Macon, $9,205; Richmond, $9,900; Funnan, $9,074. These are all solid, liberal arts colleges in the same geographic area, and they all cost more than Wake Forest. Yes, there are private colleges whose tuition runs less. Such are typically small, sectariari colleges that provide a service that is not competitive with what Wake Forest provides. If one wants to discuss truly high tuition, this is the ballpark: Duke, $13,928; Yale, $14,000; Wesleyan, $14,610; Drew ,$14,102; Amherst, $14,035, Ohio Wesleyan, $11,128.

Any sensible analysis of tuition trends suggests that Wake will remain at or near the bottom of the tuition rankings for its peer group of colleges, and there is not the slightest chance that present trends will move Wake's tuition within cannon shot of the truly high-tuition colleges. In tenns of dollars, tuition at Wake is closer to that charged by small, sectarian· colleges than to that charged by the truly high-tuition institu­tions.

Wake is a buy for what it provides. However, cheapness exacts its penalty. Wake Forest's student-to-faculty ratio is

Donald E. Frey

about 13 to 1. Several high-tuition instirutions achieve ratios as low as 7 to 1. In higher education 13:1 is not viewed as particularly good. What 13:1 means is that srudents get closed out of courses at registration, that certain depart­ments are closed to all but majors, and that courses take on a "mass-production" quality.

The college's faculty last year refused to implement a very desirable "freshmen seminar" proposal largely be­cause of concerns that sufficient faculty did not exist. Many high-ruition institutions require all seniors to write a thesis as a graduation requirement, and Wake Forest students ought to face that kind of challenge, too. However, the difference between 13:1 and 7:1 is that the Wake faculty cannot provide enough individual supervision to imple­ment such a program.

The facultypays a penalty, too. High-tuition institutions have sabbatical leaves, whereas Wake Forest struggles to improve on its halfway measures. Computer support for faculty research came here a decade later than it should have. The examples could go on.

It is often argued that increased tuition will make Wake affordable by only a homogeneous upper-middle class group of students. If nothing else were done about schol­arships, that would be the case. But the university has made mighty efforts to remedy the scholarship situation. I came toW ake Forest in the early 1970s when tuition was even lower in relative terms than now ,and my impression then was of a much more homogeneous student popula­tion than now. Scholarship aid is a mighty tool: Wesleyan University, with its $14,000-plus tuition. has a student minority percentage about triple that of Wake Forest

There is no doubt that Wake's tuition has outstripped inflation by a moderate amount in the last few years. However, it is doubtful that the rate of inflation is the relevant point of comparison. The relevant comparison is with Wake Forest's need for revenue to produce a high­quality program, given a history in which Wake was underpriced and paid a real penalty in terms of its educa­tional and research programs.

Those who take a stand-pat position on tuition are essentially arguing for an educationalandresearchagenda at Wake Forest that is less than it could be.

Frey is a professor of economics.

Ivy League Prices Bring Kudzu Nightmares

E very year the prices of new cars go up (American

·--- modelsarelately,ofcourse,exceptions tothisrule), · but. the increase in cost is made somewhat more

palatable by the fact that theeompanies always promise you a new and improved model.

You might get seats that have butt warmers at the touch ofabutton(Volvosportsthisfeature),ormaybeamoonroof instead of the outdated sunroof (Honda tried this in years past). But no matter how trivial the changes are, atleast you can convince yourself, without too much strain, that the extra money is actually worth it.

Enter theW akeForest University marketing department. They have promised ahead of time that for the next three years tuition will be raised by 10 percent. It is in the brochure. No holy commandment has ever been written that was more durable. And this does not include the extra increases that will surely be assigned to room and board.

Any normal consumer, faced with such promises, would demand to know what improvements he was getting for the extra money. The terribly neat thing about Wake Forest's philosophy is that the buyer will get nothing new; in fact, as we will see, he will get less for his money than ever before.

Let us start out with the easy targets: housing and ARA food. The prices for these services increase every year, but can anyone who lives and eats on campus really say the quality of these services improves? Normal wear assures that the quality of life in many of the older dorms will decrease, and the Pit masquerades year after year as a physics department experiment on the nature of entropy.

Now for a harder target: diversity. Did anyone read the brochures sent out by the Ivy League (and their clones) that lauded the ideal of diversity? Well, Wake Forest may subsribe to the same theory. In practice, this commendable notion is starting to manifest itself in two very harmful ways.

First, the middle class is being squeezed out from W alee Forest President Hearn may claim that financial aid in­creases every year, but his figures neglect one thing: finan­cial aid does go up, but when you divide this increased aid by a higher tuition and divvy it up among larger classes of students, a net decrease in aid results (an excellent editorial was run by the OG&B on this topic last year). It seems incredible anyone with that much education cannot per-

Scott Demarchi

form seventh-grade math equations when discussing finan­cial aid.

Mostlikely, theonlypeople left on our campus will be the students rich enough to afford the higher tuition or the shrinking group of poor students who get fmancial aid sufficienttocovertheadded expenses. Anyone who can use a calculator better than Dr. Hearn will probably walk down

the street and go to Carolina.

I realize that most Wake Forest students are not breaking a sweat over a few more thousand dollars here and there...:._ it might mean less beer on weeknights, and the sacrifice will be made. The only students hurt by these policies are the more marginal groups -scholarship holders, financial aid recipients, the middle class. Since they do not contribute very heavily as alumni, why not kick them out? Mter all, who is more valuable to the university ,a Greek who is likely to contribute money as an alumnus, or an ungrateful schol­arship holder who will not give a dime back to the school?

The truly scary thing is this: aid-blind admissions or not, the students who can afford Wake Forest will come in greater numbers as tuition rises, while brighter, poorer · students will take a scholarship elsewhere or attend a state school. Soon after that, Wake Forest will manufacture bumper stickers calling itself the "Harvard of the South."

scholars on campus. Many are unaware of the benefits the university derives from having a large number of merit scholars of campus, but all you have to do is look at any student activity (except student government, for obvious reasons), or almost any exemplary academic class. You will find a disproportionate number of scholarship holders comprise the membership.

Yet, instead of maintaining the tradition of awarding excellence with money, the push toward diversity will once again mold the university ffilJCh the same as this idea has molded the Ivy League. Money will be given, not for merit, but for diversity. If you can play basketball, or are a 'native Nebraskan, or can play Beethoven's Fifth on a kazoo while treading water, then you will be "rewarded" with a scholar­ship. The new Alumni scholarships exemplify this trend, and they force one to ask how long it will be before the Carswell and Reynolds programs follow a similiar path.

This trend will also affect admissions and fmancW aid for ordinary students. For example, if you are from North Carolina, you are .out of luck. But if its been a bad year for recruiting left-banders from Omaha, the proverbial wel­come mat will be rolled out. Traditional concerns about choosing the better students will be twisted in light of the new search for diversity. Soon we will all see the day when Wake Forest can brag that it has students from aliSO states. several foreign countries, and is working on attracting alien civilizations to consider the university as a place to educate their children.

The crisis is upon us. Just four years ago tuition was $6,600. an amount that the middle class could easily afford. Against all logic, however, Wake Forest is switching strate­gies at the very moment that the school has begun to attract national recognition. Students and faculty members must tell the Hearn administration that higher tuition does not equate to highereducation,nordoesa push toward supposed "diversity" at the expense of scholarship.

If our university is to remain a viable option for the middle class, and to continue to gain attention for the quality of its undergraduate education, tuition musteitherdecreaseor halt at the current level. North Carolina, and, indeed, the world, do not need another Harvard in North Carolina.

The second disastrous effect a higher tuition, coupled with the goal of achieving greater diversity, will set in Demarchi is a senior history I computer science double motion at Wake Forest is that of draining the pool of true major.

Tuition Avalanche Wipes Out Diversity and Ideals

S ilence means approval."- R.E.M. Consider for a moment opportun­

ism as a large rock perched atop a gently sloping, green hill. Now imagine a single golden parachute sliding gracefully down the blue sky, its passenger alights on the knoll. You see a small man, smaller than the rock (opportunism, remember?) he now espies, and you note that the man does not tend to say a whole lot but carries a big stick. He appraises the rock, brushes off a clod of dirt, and then, using the leverage supplied by his implement, pries the big rock loose and sends it hunling down into the meadow.

Any climber worth his salt, were he trying to reach the top of the hill, would not stand in the path of the rock. Rather, he would use subversive, evasive tactics to avoid getting run over. My friend, Wake Forest may well be that rock, once firmly founded on a vision of diversity through affordability, undis­covered perhaps, but producing quality stu­dents. Now, however, it crashes into the jungle of national universities where high tuition and expansion are the standards.

At present, I feel the administration hopes to transform Wake so rapidly that the result is an exploitation of the university's poten­tial which neglects the health of the student

Jay Chervenak

body in the process. Sitting atop this rock, the student body gets mushed up a little bit more with each roll of the stone, just as the makeup of the student body features more homogeneity after each tuition increase.

The changes in the goals of the university are guaranteed or your money back. The administration promised to announce the tuition increase in the admissions bulletin to reassure us of their honest intentions. We are the sole observers of the development of the strategy of the overlords of operations at Wake Forest, to somehow convince the outside world that we are still the best edu­cational experience for the money, while keeping the quality of the campus about the same. The time is ripe for asserting our role astheflyintheointment-thestudentbody must cast its subversive lot to force the administration to reexamine its half-hearted effort to improve the campus. The point being that nothing will reduce your tuition during your stay here, but the administration definitely has enough cash to correct what­ever else is wrong with Wake Forest.

Feel free to protest ARA Dining Service, which has no qualms about selling over­priced food refrigerated at a chilly 60 de­grees. As part of the clean-up effort, we should make these people go away. Also, let us unload this pass-the-hat campaign launched every year by some group with a roomf~l ofpho~es and information on every alumm. Who cares if every other university does this? I would rathernothave my degree associated with the money-grubbing ideals portrayed in this annual gathering. 1 also never want to receive one of thoseoffensiv~ alumni catalogs which truly embraces the capitalist spirit of Wake Forest. Have you ever paid $15 to replace your ID, the mate­rials of which cost about 20 cents? Or been charged $25 for returning to campus after some deadline? Cannot all of these nasties be absorbed into my tuition increase?

And what about these new buildings ?It is starting to sound like significant campus organizations are receiving closet space in them to compensate for the needsoftheever expanding Greek system.
