. oirr iiirir Nrm Vol. 79 No. 58 University of Pittsburgh — Pittsburgh. PA l52b0 Friday, February 22, 1985 Education faculty By Susan Benedek The Pitt News A l4-page document which pro- poses total restructuring of the School of Education and criticizes Provost Benjamin's recommenda- tion for the school in his Five-year Plan was endorsed Wednesday by faculty of the School of Education. Of the 120 faculty members attending the meeting, 91 endorsed the two-part document, 18 rejected it, ll abstained. “Essentially, the first part is a nar- rative rejecting the Provost’s prelim- inary recommendations,” said Dr. Pat Crosson, chairman of the faculty council. “The second portion provides a general contour defining our priorities.” The first half of the document refutes Benjamin’s recommendation to reduce the size of the school on the basis of its declining enrollment and the mixed assessment of its quality. The document states: “We reject the argument in the University Plan that because the quality is not ade- quate to justify the costs, the school should be reduced significantly and be significantly reduced in size at the same time." The document also recommends . push new plan that the 14 departments that cur- rently comprise the School of Edu- cation will’ be refocused and redefined into three major academic _ areas. The areas proposed are instruc- tion and learning, administrative and policy studies, and psychology in education. In addition to these areas, the Institute for International Educational Studies, both of which address educational problems in relation to the organizations in the environment, will be focused on in the new school." “No present unit will remain in its current form," according to the document. In addition to the proposed struc- tural changes, five major themes emerged: focusing upon the rela- tionship between ‘learning knowl- edge and application of that knowledge in education; increasing and further developing structures in the Pittsburgh/ Western Pa. area; enhancing the multi-cultural and international diversity of the school; adapting education to individual student needs; and, recognizing and preparing for the implications of new technologies. The process by which the docu- ment was prepared involved much communication between the faculty members. According to Crossen: “The _fa_culty were “involved at all continued on page two SGB suspends By Alison Sterne The Pitt News All actions of the Affirmative Action Committee of the Student Government Board were suspended by the board at their meeting on Wednesday. The suspension will be in effect pending approval by the board of the committee's bylaws. Board member Mike Ryan intro- duced the measure saying that with- out bylaws, the board does not know what the purpose of the committee is. Without this knowledge, the board cannot vote on any programs that the committee may want to institute. . Ryan told committee chairman Jackie Jackson, “Your committee essentially does not exist without bylaws." Board president ‘ Luke Kluchko said that the budget of the commit- tee cannot be voted on until the by- laws are passed. After the meeting, Kluchko said that the board has been having numerous problems with the com- mittee. One difficulty involved a Capitalism Pitt's Small Business Development Center hopes to stimulate commerce through its series of Tuesdays lectures.

Kluchko had initially told the committee that funding would not be available from the board because the fair dealt with high school students. In addition, the committee would not be able to contact any high school students without permission from the admis- sions office, which handles all recruitment activities. Jackson sup- posedly confirmed plans for the fair with the admissions office. How- ever, Kluchko said that he spoke to Bill Nun from the admissions office and found that the plans were never finalized. The problem will be discussed with the committee only after the bylaws have been approved. Kluchko gave the bylaws “formal priority.” Kluchko told Jackson, “Until they‘re [the bylaws] done, you are not to work on anything else." The motion to suspend actions of the committee was passed by a vote of 5-3. Also mentioned at the meeting was the result of the board’s meeting with the Student Activities Commit- tee of the board of trustees. The board submitted its proposal for South African divestment. The proposal passed unanimously”. Shawridya Simpson o Delta Sigma Thta taking part in one of the many Bladr History Week activities. Dave o0ker/ The Pitt News Doctor stresses conﬁdentiali cts in AIDS testing for subje ByiTess Warner The Pitt News Concern has risen about the confi- dentiality of AIDS blood tests, stated Dr. Charles Rinaldo, execu- tive director of the AIDS research project known as the Pitt Men‘s ’ Study. Rinaldo, a professor of pathology at Pitt’s School of Medicine, said that gay and bisexual publications advocate taking the blood test. The test determines whether or not there are antibodies present in the blood which could lead to detecting an AIDS-causing virus called HTLV- III. The results, however, are not always clear, according to Rinaldo. A positive test result simply means that the antibodies for HTLV-III are present. Only 10 percent of men with positive results will develop AIDS or AIDS-related complex. The rest may be carriers — men who are unaffected by the virus — who could be infecting others. A negative result can also be mis- leading, because the person could actually be infected but have not yet developed the antibodies. _ Another disadvantage is that the test itself is not 100 percent accurate. A positive result is 97 percent accu- rate, while a negative result is 99 percent accurate. Fears of harassment or discrimi- nation can create psychosocial stress for these men, Rinaldo said. If the men take the test through the blood banks, they fear they will lose con- trol of their right to privacy. There is the threat of lists identifying people who have taken the test. Test results may be available via subpeonas to insurance companies, employers and government agencies. Rinaldo stated that these are valid fears, but he was quick to point out what the Pitt Men's Study is doing to combat these problems. Before the results are given, Rinaldo explained the person receives a written explanation of the test. The person then has the option of receiving or not receiving the results. Each individual is given per- sonal counseling concerning the test and its results. They then receive a free screening for the symptoms of AIDS and ARC. Because of the accuracy problem Rinaldo said, people with positive results will take the test again. He also said that more sensitive confir- matory test is also expected to be out by the summer of 1985, and each individual will retake the test every six months. To relieve the psychosocial stress, Rinaldo said that the people must be kept informed. The staff works with them on a one-to-one basis and they also have contact with gay counsel- ing services. The study refers indi- viduals to groups like Persad and , Anawim for support. Themost important safeguard for the individuals involved in the study is a “certificate of confidentiality,” _ Rinaldo said.

On Y The Pitt News, Friday, February 22, 1985 Seminars conducted at Pitt to aid Small businesses By Nadia Moritz The Pitt News Saving employment in Pittsburgh is the goal of Pitt’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC). Their latest project is a series of Tuesday seminars on financial concerns for small business owners. “Statistics show that the largest percentage of employers are small businesses,” said David C. Castaldo, director of the SBDC. He feels that these seminars will help to prevent the loss of more small businessjobs. The SBDC is part of a national effort to stimulate the economy by relying on the academic knowledge that exists in the universities to pro- vide services that will develop small businesses. Pitt's SBDC, one of the l3 in Pennsylvania, has been work- ing in cooperation with the Student Consulting Project for over ﬁve years to provide counseling services and training. “We have a lot of knowledge in the university that is not being ap- plied in the market place," said Cas- taldo. “We’re trying to get some of that knowledge out of the university and into the market place, where it could put people to work.” The financial concerns seminars cover a range of topics, including budget, cash flow analysis, payroll, tax liabilities, funding sources and financial statements. “A lot of small businesses have been successful in the past because of a strong cash flow.” said Castaldo. “The cash flow has grown much tighter, technology is changing and the owners had to learn how to operate their businesses more effectively.” I The classes are taught by Pitt's graduate school faculty and profes- sionals from Pittsburgh’s business community. “We have talent right here in Pittsburgh and we intend to rely on it,” said Castaldo. The participants, averaging 35 a session and having educational backgrounds that range from grade school to graduate degrees, include owners and prospective owners of businesses in western Pennsylvania. Another part of SBDC is the Advanced Technology Entrepre- neurial Center (ATEC), which pro- vides consulting services and technical assistance specifically to advanced technology companies in southwestern Pennsylvania. Most of 'ATEC’s efforts are focused on assisting companies in obtaining research funds through federal and state programs. One-on-one counseling in‘ techni- cal assistance management analysis with a member of the professional staff and a student consultant is also available to requesting businesses for a nominal fee. The center coun- seled over 450 businesses in 1984. Education faculty push plan (‘0I‘lll.I1ll£"¢'1_/I‘0fn page one stages of the planning process. The proposals represent a compilation of many debates and meetings between members of faculty council, cabinet and faculty members. “We chose to build it from the bottom up. We have redeﬁned our goals and generally restructured the departments, so that we can say to the provost, ‘this is what we want.‘ ” Crosson said. “Redefining has to occur periodi- cally regardless of budget cuts. Every so often you have to revise your mission [to determine] if it is still in line or if you should make changes," said Nicholas DeFigio, member of the School of Education faculty. “My area, educational adminis- tration,” he said, “has been talking . I. .. Ll L; LA £41’! .3 ' J; about changes in the education school prior to the provost’s Five- year Plan, which came out in December. We have been talking about creating one administration policy studies department from four existing departments for a long time.” The School of Education has also been asked by the provost to cut its budget. by 25 percent or more. A concern addressed in the document is the relationship of these cuts to the tenured faculty. V “The only way to implement the plan recommendation that the budget be cut by more than 25 per- cent is to significantly reduce the size of the tenured faculty. Our greatest fear is that voluntary separation agreements, together with a loss of morale will have the predictable L) J rr,,..,.». effect of weakening rather than strengthening the quality of the School of Education,” according to the document. Dr. Nancy Cole, associate dean of the School of Education, contrasted the Five-year Plan and the school's - proposal. One difference, she noted, is in the magnitude of the reduction within the school. She also feels that the school's document is concerned with quality, not size. The document will be presented officially to Provost Benjamin today. CANCER SOCIETY“ Lisa Birnbach author of Lisa Birnbach’s L. . ....C.'.'.

There are no figures available on the numbers of homosexuals living together as couples, but social scientists believe their numbers have increased significantly in the last few years. The increase is partly a reflec- tion of a general trend towards con- servatism in sexual behavior. Scientists also attribute the fear of such disease as AIDS and herpes to the popularity of a monogamous lifestyle. There are numerous organiza- tions targeting the needs of the gay community which address issues of The Pitt News,‘Friday, February 22,” 1985 child custody, employment, housing and obtaining immigration papers for a partner. Nationally recognized organizations include the National Gay Task Force, the Gay Married Men’s Association, the Gay Fathers Coalition, the Lesbian Mothers’ National Defense Fund and the Les- bian Rights Project. In Pittsburgh alone, there are ll gay—oriented establishments. Cer- tain places are supported solely by men while others have only women as members. One local establishment is for women exclusively, regardless of their sexual preferences or personal beliefs. One of the co-owners, who asked not to be named, regards the business as a “communal idea.” There are 14 owners, who make decisions for the business together. She said that people in the area are receptive and supportive ofthe femi- nist cause. The co-owner (who regards herself as a true feminist), feels the feminist movement in Pitts- burgh is health, but a lot of people are only interested in “cashing in” on the effort. ' Many of the establishments in _, Pittsburgh offer club memberships and entertainment along with meals. Some bars cater to the gay commu- nity as well. On the University of Pittsburgh campus, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance, offers support and under- standing for homosexuals. Member- ship is not limited to Pitt students or faculty. The majority of the group’s member have experienced instances in which their sexual orientation was not well received. All said they had encountered shock and confusion AIDS testing conﬁdentiality continued from page one that no individual, court or govern- ment agency can obtain records from the study that might identify the participants without the partici- pants consent. Internal safeguards are also in place: Each participant is identified by numerical code. If the study is done through the mail, security envelopes are used and placed in triple-locked storage. The staff communicates with the partici- pants only in ways that the partici- pants direct them to. All staff members must give a legal pledge of confidentiality. _ There» are currently 1,300 men in the first level of the study. The second level, which deals with indi- viduals in more intense manner, cur- rently involves 850 men. Rinaldo also gave some surprising statistics during _ his “Ethnic for Lunch” lecture in, Scaife Hall. He “T:/1' AT ‘: ;: ' ~ ’-Lg ’T“‘\\*{T‘ \,_ j Z‘ - \_2"/,_,_":_--‘.__.. ._..;—_..._._.. — \ , '/ x.‘-_//‘—E___—¥2 : \_]- I/’—f\$_Z.' 5»--\., __ \__g—\\ J ” —\‘{“S__J‘*-—~T:'Z .__._, 651), said that AIDS takes a long time to develop. The average incubation period is 29 months, although it may vary from five to 62 months. He is also predicting more cases in the future in the heterosexual com- munity. There are currently 59 cases of AIDS among heterosexuals. For instance, a case in Pittsburgh involves an athlete who shared nee- dles for steroids and contracted the virus. There are also many cases of female prostitutes infecting hetero- sexual men. The overall morality rate for indi- viduals with HTLV-III is 47 percent. Although it is suspected that the virus has been around for many years, it was discovered only in 1983. In 1978, French scientists tested gay individuals in the San Francisco area. With the development of the blood test, they went back and retested the samples for the antibo- ’-*~ Ifgj :: , *,\\_Z——$_[«;: ../j_/r-gj% ~ . /,:_ ~ <,;:\&X \f,,:.

In 1984, the scientists contacted 257 of the 360 men involved. The men were tested again for the anti- bodies, and this time 62 percent had developed the antibodies. However, only 10 percent of the men have developed AIDS as yet. Rinaldo also had some opinions on future cases of AIDS but pointed out that “this is only conjecture.” Within the next five years he expects there to be 25 million men with AIDS in the U.S. over l5 years old and unmarried. He guessed that 5 million of those will be homosexual, although he said that “this [figure] is on the low side.” A He expects 10 percent of the homosexuals have positive results from antibody tests, and 10 percent of that — 50,000 men — will develop AIDS in two to five years. _4-..\ .42., .—- ,: -\__/,/,?\»..z:‘‘f._g./—- :*:' - \ -—/, ’:- from their parents when they first told them of their homosexuality. One member said that his mother still cannot talkabout the subject although she has known for five years. One female member said that when she told her parents, they reacted by asking, “Where did we go wrong?" She was told to leave home, and has not been back since. The general feeling of the members regarding acceptance is that there isn't any. Still, at least one member of the alliance feels that there is wider acceptance of homosexuality now than in the past. The new media and the movie industry are responsible for much of the publicity of the homosexuality issue, he said. In a related interview, a male Now we can detect a breast cancer smaller than this dot. snua: THE COST or uvnue , M Give to the American Cancer Society This space contributed as a public service. page 3 homosexual stated that positive exposure is necessary to ensure acceptance of the gay community. “It is harder for the majority of men to accept homosexuality in other men because it threatens their mas- culinity," he said. -“They feel if they get close to male homosexuals they will become gay also. We are not freaks. We are just like you in the we - have fears, dislikes, likes and ‘ emotions.” Another point that many members of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance brought up is the incorrect “ notion that some people believe homosexuals chose to be gay.

Was Justice Misplaced? / Now that some time has passed since Bernard Goetz shot A four youths in a New York Subway, it is possible to look back on that case with a helpful detachment. During the course of Mr. Goetz’s brief celebrity status in the ‘ press, the public learned a great deal about his past: His father was convicted on a charge of molesting two young boys (though that ruling was later overturned, and the senior Goetz pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct), and this apparently caused Goetz a great deal of trauma. We learned that Mr. Goetz had been mugged twice and beaten in New York City, and that he made an ongoing effort to rid his neighbor- hood of criminals. We also learned that he applied for a permit to carry a handgun and was turned down. However, we learned almost nothing of the pasts of the four youths whom Mr. Goetz shot — only that they all had criminal records and that they were carrying sharpened screwdrivers in their back pockets at the time of the shooting. It was a little publicized fact that none of the youths’ criminal records cited any instance of violent criminal behavior, though one of the youths was charged with armed robbery. Many claim (perhaps gratuitously, as we shall see) that the youths intended to do Goetz bodily harm with the screwdrivers that they were carrying, but as mentioned in the Feb. I 1 issue of The New Yorker, one of the crimes of which the youths had been previously convicted was breaking into and stealing the change from video machines. The screwdrivers may have been carried for that purpose. At no time during the briefexchange between Mr. Goetz and the almost publicly anonymous black youths did the youths threaten to harm him in any manner. They did not wield their screwdrivers. They did not handle nor in any way harass Mr. Goetz. One of the four youths asked him for $5. He replied that he would give them all $5, produced his handgun and shot the four youths at pointblank range, shooting two in the back and leaving one comatose and paralyzed from the waist down. ,It is a sad fact that Mr. Goetz was never tried for attempted murder. He is a free man, while four youths who areapparently guilty of nothing more than petty crimes, youth and being , black may never again be free to live the normal lives to which they are entitled. This is a blow to justice from which we can only hope to recover.

News gave us an interesting choice among various characterizations of the president of the United States. Ronald Reagan is “operating with ignorance [or] with malice,” is “filled with malice or pride or lunacy," and is unfit to hold the office in which he “finds himself.” All this because the U.S. govern- ment refuses to submit to an agree: ment, proposed by the Soviet Union, not to be the first to fire nuclear weapons. The Pitt News found this “puzzling." Instead of asking themselves why not only the current, but also all preceding administrations, have not signed such a treaty, the editors sank to an attack on the competence and mor- ality of the president. Although it was correctly noted that it has'been U.S. policy never to launch a “first strike,” contact with reality ended here. To understand the reason why no president has, or should have, entered into such an agreement, we must understand why the Soviets have so often proposed it. Over the last two or three decades, Soviet ‘preponderance in conven- tional weaponry in Europe has been balanced by the U.S. nuclear “umbrella.” NATO has made it known that if the Soviets invade West Germany and the military situation becomes untenable, the U.S. will retaliate with nuclear weapons. This is known as “first use” (a term with which The Pitt News apparently hasn’t become acquainted), as distinguished from first strike. First use could be, and likely would be, defensive; first strike is, by nature, offensive. Of course, no one really expects an invasion of Europe in the near future, any more than we expect a ' first strike. The'Soviets don't work that way. Soviet military might has two main functions: to keep its satel- lites-submissive and to buy with weapons what it can‘ achieve in no other way — political legitimacy. One has only to hear someone refer to “the Superpowers“ —‘ referring to the U.S. in the same word as the Soviet Union, equating the two — to realize this. What holds NATO together against this implicit threat is the U.S. promise, made to Europe nearly 40 years ago, to use any means necessary to defend our allies. If we renege on this commitment, western Europe —— and West Ger- many in particular — will face two alternatives. Either the European nations will become Finlandized, neutral sheep to the Soviets, or will have to develop an independent, credible (large) nuclear deterrent. Obviously, the first choice is prefera- ble to the Soviets, but any rift divid- ing Europe from America works to their advantage. It might be hopedthat no presi- dent, when faced with the imminent collapse of Europe, will let an agree- ment with an aggressor nation stop him from meeting our obligation to NATO, but this is not really impor- tant. If the European people believe that we have detached ourselves from their defense, the prophesy will ‘livsﬁsggsdggltffulfllllns: £88 NAT8 The U.S. must continue to show the will to defend its closest allies under the central theme of NATO — an attack on one is an attack on all. To renounce the first use of any class of weapon (particularly nuclear weapons), especially without a cred- ible conventional deterrent in Europe, would seriously endanger the alliance that has kept western Europe free and at peace since World War II. Paul Sepe CMU Applied Math ’85 More hi—tech Enough! I, for one, am tired of all the yell- ing and fighting concerning the uni- versitys’s proposed Five-year Plan. We should all rally behind our university and help push Pitt into the same league as Harvard, Yale and Stanford. After all, we all rallied behind President Reagan four years ago and now look where our country stands. Mark me down as one student firmly behind the university, and to show my support, I will discount many of the arguments that the opponents of the Five-year Plan have presented. 0 Rhetoric/Communications -Department: I am tired of a department that does nothing but provide a hiding place for jocks and unintelligent people. Let's not reduce this depart- ment, let‘s dissolve it. The space, could be made, into a computer center. 0Fine Arts: ~ Face it: How many jobs do you see in the paper for sculptors or painters? Let’s quit wasting space‘... and put in a new computer center. If pushed, we could convert the build- ing into something more artsy, per- haps as a center for computer art. 0School of Education: To use the business maxim: If it .ain’t producing, cut your losses and run. lt’s obvious we aren't educating , people right, so let's dissolve the pro- gram. The space could be used fora computer center. OGSPIA: As a native of Pittsburgh, I am tired of foreigners taking over our society. First it’s our industry; soon they will be usurping our academic positions. Send them home and use their office space as a computer center. 0School of Pharmacy: All of the yelling by these future druggists has me disgusted.

These are just some of my views concerning the Five-year Plan and the issues that it has raised. If I may be so bold, I would like to raise one additional item concerning the pur- suit of excellence at our university. At issue is the cafe in the William Pitt Union. This nice little eatery has ‘ provided me with many fine meals. However, at times, it is quite crowded especially with people who haven't even purchased a meal there. I propose we initiate a reserva- tion policy so that the hardworking student can look forward to having a seat when he eats. As President Reagan said, we are in a second American Revolution. Universities should lead the revolu- tion, and we at Pitt should lead the leaders. William Taylor CAS Irony This letter is a response to a letter (“Liberal Error") by Kevin Bold, printed in the Feb. 13 edition of The Pitt News. While we do not wish to address the philosophical issues raised in Mr. Bold’s letter at the present, we felt compelled to object to his concluding statement. Mr. Bold states: “It is time the kids at The Pitt News grew up and aban- doned the ethics of the parasite.” This statement is ironic for several reasons. First, it isironic that Mr. Bold dares to use the word “para- site." Nearly every line in his letter is either a paraphrase or direct quote from the writings of Ayn Rand for which he gives no credit to the author or a bastardization of Rand‘s ideas. ,. Second, it is ironic that Mr. Bold ‘makes use of the condescending , epithet “kid." If that capacity for independent and original thinking can be considered as a partial index of intellectual maturity, plagiarism such as that of Mr. Bold‘s can hardly be considered, adult behavior. T» Mr. Bold should take notice: Ayn Rand's philosophy, while condemn- ing material parasitism, reserves its strongest words of condemnation for the intellectual parasite. If “the kids of The Pitt News” have demon- strated any failing in this affair, it is in having allowed such an obvious bit of plagiarism to reach its editori- al page.

To resolve this slushy problem, here are a few suggestions as to what ' we can do to get rid of the slush: OGet everyone living in the Tow- ers and Quad to evaporate the slush with their hairdryers. 0Send it offto Washington, D.C., where it will get lost in the bureaucracy. 0Closer to home, send it to the university administration offices in Thackeray where it will get lost in the bureaucracy. 0Serve it with fish in the Towers cafeteria.

We, along with the two other members of our team and the winners of various other tourna- ments (pool, ping-pong, etc.), piled into a van early Friday morning for an all-expense (well, almost) paid trip to the ACIU regionals at Bloomsburg State College in Bloomsburg, Pa., the Babylon of northeast Pennsylvania. Here fol- lows the gripping account of that journey, complete with the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat and the drudgery of waiting hours and hours for a meager shot at hollow glory. Feb. 15, 6:30 a.m.: The bards shall junket. The van leaves Craig and me prep for a surreal good time. Our broken dialogue, random cruelty, ﬂoating literary salvos and epipha- nies continue nonstop for about five hours. We reached new heights of meaninglessness on that trek through the concrete blah of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Bloomsburg State College creeps up on us. We debark with fervor and predictably head for the nearest john. Our first observation about this quaint little bead of sweat in the armpit of academia comes from Craig, who loudly marvelsat the conspicuous lack of homosexual graffiti on the bathroom walls, vis-a- vis our own Pitt where this is the norm. After a holy trio of pitchers at the local bar (one of only three) on Main Street (no lie), we head back to the student union where we were told to convene at 3 p.m. sharp. Well, our match wasn’t until 7:30 and we were being primed for a weekend of wait- ing, donuts, waiting, coffee and more waiting. To kill time, Craig and another member of our team quiz each other relentlessly for about an hour and a half, to the And this final comment from an anonymous critic: “You ignorant [deleted] if you can’t take the weather that gives Pittsburgh its characteristic flavor, why don’t yougo to Bhopal and breathe their $&3*!.!” Anyone with serious problems coping with slush should hide under- neath their dorm room beds until finals, when it should be replaced by trained attack-water sprinkler systems.

After that, Craig and I mistakenly caught a match between George-’ town and another school. What we saw completely toppled our hopes of winning the whole thing. George- town's team (Pat Ewing wasn’t there, I'm told, due to other commit- ments) was like a quartet of comput- ers. They just couldn’t miss. They were all lanky, serious and dressed in argyle garments. “That’s all right,” Craig said in a tone of resignation, “they have to go through the rest of their lives being . them.” He later said that seeing Georgetown reaffirmed his faith in private education. Our first match was against IUP, who never even showed up, so we won by forfeit. Just to stay honest, we played a practice game against a motley crew of different schools. Before each match, there was a period of inactivity when we just sat at our tables, which were on the plat- form at the head of a large room. On the table in front ofus sat two micro- phones and four lights that came on and rang when you pushed the but- ton connected to it. In the lull before our first match, I softly hummed early '70s pop songs into the mike, like “You Sexy Thing” and “Chero- kee Nation.” The moderator, a genial and dignified fellow, gently reprimanded me. All I could say’ was, “I’m a born entertainer. Put me , in front of a microphone, and I have to perform." We lost the pickup game and IUP showed up a while later, begging for a reprieve. After an hour and a half of hemming and hawing, the forfeit was made official and we fled the ‘ student union. Six hours of nonstop tedium and we had to unwind. We ended up at a frat party that night and were, amazingly enough, treated decently and invited to stay the night (our hotel was I0 miles away). This “party” reminded me of the hull of a slave ship — literally packed wall-to-wall with people. Craig said it was like “Satyracon.“ Sometimes a frat titan would guzzle from a large funnel of beer (they called them beer bongs), while eve- ryone hooted and yelled. I got into the act and screamed at the top of my lungs, “Drink, drink, DRINK, DRINK!” There’s a mindless slob in all of us. Craig was taken aback by the total lack of hostility and overt revulsion these people, who were diametri- cally opposed to us in most ways, exhibited — that is, after they found out he wasn’t an LCB agent. Our host gave us towels and beer and, the next afternoon at the STP (Saturday tuneup party), he gave us more beer, food and unlimited access to his tape collection. They were civil party animals, a species I’d always thought nonexistent. We played three matches the next day. Before one match, I said sternly into the mike: “Who did you know and when did you know them? Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?” The moderator said that I was now regressing to history. At any rate, we lost two of three and were eliminated. Craig and I were distressed for maybe five min- utes, but our other teammates, both steely-eyed competitors, had come to win and complained to others about our failures and. shortcom- ings. Although decent fellows, we dismissed them as anal retentives — flat and simple. They weren’t at any of the parties at which we were, if they were at any at all. Anal retentives. They should have been subs for Georgetown. That night, there was a_banquet. Everyone wore nametags —- Craig was Witold Gombrowitz and I was Jersey Joe Dionysus. The meal was efficient and mediocre, like all ban- quet fare. The tournament honchos were mercifully brief in their podium posturing but still managed to scale new heights of self-congratulation. We went back to the frat and soon Join an inte_restinu nrofession ofarowim!’ imnortanoein health oare- R HEALTH I2I:coI2|>s ADMINISTRATION r Call 1524-2719 7, sensed a strong air of discontent with our presence. It's a practiced art, knowing when you’ve over- stayed your welcome. Vamoose we did. Lehigh’s college bowl team was having a party at a hotel near ours, so that's where we headed. Two farm boys gave us a ride, which required them to go miles out of their way. (What had we done to deserve this pa_ll of decency?) Four of us in an open pickup truck going « 75 mph was our ride. Shades of Kerouac. They dropped us off about three miles from the motel strip, so we walked the distance, with Craig spewing reams of obscure poetry he had memorized just for the occa- sion. We milked the Lehigh party for all it could offer, Craig spending the majority of the time attempting to choke some girl with his formidable knowledge of 19th century French literature. - Sunday: We had a go at a buffet brunch, courtesy. of Bloomsburg College. Craig, with his ever‘-keen sense of theater, noticed roving eyes directed at him, so he created a minor spectacle by playing human- trough-drama with a dozen pan- cakes spread thick-with mustard, ketchup, cottage cheese and syrup.

Thatcher did not appear to be entirely comfortable with the new-fangled device, which allows a speaker to look directly at an audience while seeing a reflection of his or her notes. President Reagan made a strong impression on British Parliamentarians when he used a teleprompter during a visit to England two years ago. Thatcher said, however, that when she recently used the device to speak to the Conservative Party, there was such a strong light behind her that she could not see her notes. So, Thatcher said, she always carries an extra copy of her speech — just in case. Fed to halt inﬂation WASHINGTON (UPI) - Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker went before the Senate Banking Committee Tuesday to say he'll do all that’s in his power to keep inﬂation and interest rates where they are. However, he told the Senators that unless Congress gets a han- dle on deﬁcits, all bets are off. Volcker said the Federal Reserve will let the basic money supply figure, known as Ml, grow within a four- to seven- percent range this year, which was the previous target. The expansion is based on the idea of Congress trimming $50 billion from the budget deficit. If that doesn’t go according to plan, Volcker said the country will face “some very real problems.” Volcker also delivered the Federal Reserve‘s annual" eco- nomic report to Congress yesterday. The report said that the econ- omy is growing by three and one- half to four percent this year, once the inﬂation is figured out. That’s close to the figures pro- duced by the administration and the non-partisan congressional budget office. Asbestos still in schools BEAUMONT, Texas (UPI) — Twenty-three makers of asbestos will be in federal court this fall, facing a lawsuit filed in Beaumont, Texas. The $120-million lawsuit is from 76 school districts in Texas, including those in Dallas, Hous- ton, Fort Worth and San Antonio. ‘ Attorney Martin Dies said the school disticts want the compan- ies to remove any remaining asbestos from their buildings and be held liable for any future law- suits filed by students or personnel. Asbestos has been linked to a variety of lung ailments and pos- sibly linked to cancer. The $120-million figure is what the districts have spent, and will spend, to remove the hazard- ous materials from schools. The In Brief lawsuit claims that the compan- ies knew asbestos caused health problems when they sold it to builders in the ’50s and ’60s. The trial will start in November. Refugees sent back to Cuba H A‘ (UPI) —- Twenty-three Cuban refugees are on their way by chartered jet back to Havana. They are the first of the 2,700 the Reagan administration wants to be deported. A federal appeals court cleared the way for their departure yesterday, and they left a Georgia air force base shortly afterward. Most of the Cubans facing deportation have already been convicted of crimes in Cuba. ’ Farmers suffer WASHINGTON (UPI) — The nation’s farmers want the country to know they’re mad, and they’ll use what they can to get some financial relief, even if it angers the White House. Farm-belt.Senators did just that yesterday by launching a fil- ibuster against Edwin Meese’s nomination for attorney general. The senators began the stalling tactic yesterday afternoon in an effort to pressure Congress to bail farmers out of ‘an intense debt crisis. At last report, Democrat David Boren of Oklahoma was on the Senate floor, planning to read through an entire 385-page report on Meese. The report is from a special prosecutor who cleared Meese of criminal wrongdoing. President Reagan told report- ers that he thinks the filibuster is “ridiculous.” Senate Republican leader Robert Dole called it “black- mail.” The Kansas Republican said he’ll keep the Senate in ses- sion through Saturday, if that's what it takes to bring the Meese nomination to a vote. Boren, however, said the farm . crisis needs immediate attention or “I3 to 15 percent of the nation’s farmers will go out of business this year.” Meese deal tentative WASHINGTON (UPI) — Farm belt senators reached a ten- tative agreement early yesterday afternoon on a plan to help debt- stricken farmers. But last night they said the deal was “unravel- ing" and they would not end a filibuster of Edwin Meese’s nom- ination for attorney general until it is worked out. Senate Republi- can leader Robert Dole said he still hoped to pull the deal through last night and bring Meese’s long-awaited confirma- tion to a vote. Pooch caught between worlds BERLIN (UPI) —— For two days, a tiny, lost cocker spaniel stood in the freezing cold and barked mournfully in a cold war no-man‘s land between the old and new sections of the Berlin Wall. West Berliners could not get to the puppy because it was in East German territory, and the East Germans apparently did not know the puppy was there. After two days of shivering, the dog finally was rescued yesterday by the East Germans. TMI restart WASHINGTON (UPI) —— A Nuclear Regulatory Commis- sion (NRC) licensing appeal board must review the refusal of an administrative law judge to step down in the Three Mile Island restart hearings. Ivan Smith rejected requests from Pennsylvania state officials and anti-nuclear groups to disqualify himself. Smith had asked a fed- eral judge to be lenient in sen- tencing a TMI reactor operator who cheated on an NRC test. TMI meltdown MIDDLETOWN, Pa. (UPI) — Researchers say a nuclear fuel meltdown occurred at Three Mile Island during the l979 accident. A U.S. govern- ment contractor said new studies show that the ultra-hot uranium dioxide was cooled and trapped inside the‘ reactor. In a related but separate announcement yes- terday, the operator of TMI said that a massive pile of fist-sized rocks, likely composed in part of the once-molten fuel, have been found at the base ofthe damaged ‘ reactor. :— 17 Will the engineering you do quicken your pulse?

He was just another kid experimenting with hal- lucinogens and listening to "Eight ,Miles High,” doing both in the early ' '70s. By the mid '70s, though, it wasn't cool to do either anymore. Unlike,most young idealists who saw the demise of the hippie era, ‘Piucci never lost his love of '60s rock and mind expansion — he tried to make a career out of them. Today, the Rain Parade is at the forefront of an ever-growing multitude of so-called "neopsychedelic" bands. Neopsychedelia: a rock critic term for a trend in new music which harkens to mind the jangly guitars and close harmonies of mid '60s pop rock. Somewhere along the road to maturity, Piucci discovered that "you don't need drugs to get tothose other places [the subconscious mind]/’ He stopped taking them all the time and decided to attend the University of Minnesota, majoring in biochemis- try. The passion for science was fleet- ing, however, and Piucci left academia to form his first band, the Rm+nirkc: OF the Beatnicks he now says: "Our entire repertoire con- sisted of the Modern Lovers’ first album, some Stooges and some Velvet Underground. We had no originals; we were terrible." He wouldn't even mention his second band because "it sucked." The Rain Parade was formed three years ago, born in a process that, when recounted, involves the names of brothers, friends of brothers and friends of friends in several different towns from Chicago to Los Angeles. A few members have marched in and out of the Rain Parade since its incep- tion, but the current lineup consists of bassist Steve Roback, guitarist John Thoman, organist/violinist Will Glenn and drummer Mark Marcum. Marcum is the latest member to join the band after a succession of drummers left, claiming that the Rain Parade’s moody, tuneful melodies were ”too wimpy.” "That's because we don't reject pop music,” Piucci explained. ”We love rock ’n’roll and the freedom it stands for, but you don't have to be raw to be good. Originally, we just set out to play pretty orchestrated music and that's what we're doing.” "We want to do something that creates an escape from the mundan- ity of daily life," added bassist Roback, ”a place where people can go like watching TV." This striving for other-worldliness probably had something to do with the name of the Rain Parade’s first lp, Emergency Third Rail Power Trip. While relatively free of the guitar distortion and freakout lyrics that you might expect from such a title, the album still sounds a trifle spacey and, inevit- ably, they could not stop themselves from being associated with the ”Pais- ley Underground.” Paisley Underground: rock critic term used to describe "neopsyche- delic" bands and the appearance of love beads and bowl hair cuts on album covers. (Note: ' Rain Parade members don't wear love beads and their hairstyles are boringly timeless.) Like most victims of the "neopsy- in g a new twist on an old trip chedelic," ”Paisley Underground" tag, Rain Parade denies that it is deliberately trying to recreate a cer- tain '60s sound. It does admit, how- ever, that a few '60s and early '70s bands —— Buffalo Springfield in par- ticular — have been influential. ~ ”It’s like this soup," commented Piucci, indicating a bowl of mines- trone he was eating during the inter- view. "Here on the table it's soup, but in my stomach it's no longer soup." Frustrated by labels and compari- sons to past and present groups, Piucci attempted to put this whole '60s revival thing into perspective. "As I see it," he said, ”there are two, perhaps three, separate phenomena. First, there are several L.A. bands like the Bangles and Green on Red who we're always being lumped with. That's one thing, just a bunch of bands that came out of the same area and played in the same clubs. I think that's ridiculous. The Ramones and the Talking Heads came from the same place and they were a part of the whole CBGB's thing, but are they alike? No. Phenomenon B is the whole 'paisley' thing — which is just the glasses, the hair, dressing up like Paul Revere and the Raiders, and that's fun but " "To those people we're like Mat- tel's new toy," complained Roback. ”The third thing,” Piucci con- tinued, ”is that there is an enormous ~ amount of good, original non-major label music being produced in Amer- ica today. A lot of those smaller bands represent the same kind of thinking we represent. But it's hard doing this now. In the '70s we had disco and people rejected it, and then it came right back again/'~ P Eventually, Piucci predicted, people will get sick of i’well—crafted dance music" (a rock critic term for a trend that gets more airplay than neopsy— chedelia). When they've had enough of Duran Duran and Culture Club, audiences will start seeking‘ the freshness and creativity to be found on smaller labels. While Piucci made token Boy George jokes, the rest of the band reminded him that it's time to head over to Eide's Record Store and auto- graph some promotional posters for Explosions in the Glass House, the Rain Parade’s latest album. On the way out, Roback mentioned that after the Rain Parade finishes its U.S. tour, they'll be going to Europe, where their album is selling well. They may possibly tour Japan as well, where there is probably no translation of Emergency Third Rail Power Trip —— and hopefully, no translation for "Paisley Underground," either. S showcase“,*i«‘iiday,= Fébruary722, 1985 by Leslie M. Bennett " for the letter of the law killeth, but the spirit giveth life." ' --II Corinthians 3:6 It's a dirty job, but Someone’s got to do it. Someone’s got to make laws, Someone’s got to uphold them and Someone’s got to break them. More than anything else, Jean Anouilh's modern interpretation of the Sophoclean tragedy, /lntigone, articulates the conflict between pub- lic authority and personal conviction. ”But why must dirty work be done?” asks Antigone, the antagonis- tic protagonist in Studio Theatre's recent production. This daughter of Oedipus comes from a tribe that asks questions and asks them to the bitter end. And if that is her fatal flaw, then Creon’s failing is doubly tragic. Creon is the king of Thebes whose ”dirty work" it is to make decisions and back them up with force. As the play opens, he has just forbidden, by public decree, a proper burial for Antigone's dead brother, Polynices. Instead, the body is to be left to the ravages of nature —— a ghastly fate for an ancient Greek, since it was believed that the soul of an unburied body could not be delivered safely to its eternal abode. A tragedy of wills is immediately established in Anti- gone's supreme determination .to uphold family honor rather than state rule. L ___ ' I fought the law M.F.A. candidate Ann Marie Costa directs this striking and brilliantly, conceived production, which ran through last weekend. It began the University of Pittsburgh Studio... Theatre's winter term season, and its _Earl D. Childs and Tammy Bouzﬂos star in Antigone. strong impressiveness is cause enough to look forward to student productions in the future. Earl D. Childs’ performance as Creon is nothing short of superb. 1' if You WEAR EYEGLASSES on CONTACTS READ THIS AD The part is undoubtedly the most demanding and stimulating in the play. In a particularly effective scene where the confrontation between Antigone and Creon builds toward the tragic climax, Childs’ portrayal is as unfailing as Creon’s will is uncom- promising. We clearly see, through} the strength of Childs’ acting, the king's refusal to admit weakness. Tammy Bouzos, in the role of Anti- gone, carries her own share of the weight in this scene with sure and steady balance. As Antigone's sincere and relentless reasoning crashes against the king's unyielding sense of wisdom, we see Creon at his most vulnerable moments. Childs subtly dramatizes the point by taking off, piece by piece, some of his clothing, as if literally being stripped of his power. When the king's sophistic arguments lose their legitimacy in relation to Antigone's moral cause, his stacks of scholastic books are scat- tered in symbolic destruction. Potter's clay, sculpting tools and an unfinished bust provide other clever use of props, allowing us to look~ further into Creon’s thoughts and motivations as he struggles in his rul- ing position. Childs mixes gestures of ambition and frustration to create a convincing image of a failing king. Several devices are used through- I out the play to continually remind the audience of the ominous threat of tragedy. Three key figures remain on and the law Won stage in nearly every scene, deepen- ing this sense of awareness. The Chorus figure in particular, played by Vikki Herd, steps in frequently to further instruct the audience's response. ' The remaining cast of 12 all per- form more than competently.‘Kim Veruggio is Antigone's sister, Antigone comes from a tribe that asks questions, and asks them to the hitterend. /ind ifthatis herfatal flaw, then Creon’s failing is doubly tragic. .. - ~ Ismene, who discourages the rash irresponsibility she sees in Anti- gone's decision to break the law. Though the play is heavily somber, Robert Ewing provides welcome moments of comic relief in his role as a boisterous guard. His 20th- century language and mannerisms may seem a bit out of place in a production which is otherwise set inancient Greece, but the inconsistency may merely suggest the timelessness of Antigone's theme.

While it probably won't break the band into the mainstream, it will further expand the boundaries of hardcore. Their biggest breakthrough here is a new found pop sensibil- ity. It is most apparent in the sexually frustrated "I Apolo- gize” and the '50s-style rocker about a sci-fi fanatic entitled ”Books About UFOs." Although this emerging sound is more melodic than most" of their pre- vious work, it still has that Husker Du edge. The rough sound is aided through endless distortion and a lack of serious production work. While all 15 songs on New Day Rising are performed with equal SILVERTONE Chris Isaak Warner Bros. Chris Isaak has certainly seen the inception of rock ’n’ roll and knows that his name was Elvis Presley: Altheagh eeeasienally sidetracked —- particularly on side one -- by ethereal 19805 mood music, Isaak sets out to recreate the original sound of rock ’n’ roll full of sparse, twangy guitars, a simple, steady rhythm and lots of cornball lyr- ics that shed little light on the frustrations of romance. Imagine a boy, imagine a girI/lma- gine the hearts that are broken by world, Isaak croons in ”Talk to Me," borrowing liberally from Elvis’ quivering lower register almost to the point of forgery Aiff’;-.\i.:g,:§?“s the :-;-ongfs 5-i:>;n::;>i_>.«; ’ :3“ V :i];_.., in '.’> 1 sso»««o§o»o«o«»o«< >IvvsI SIHHQOOOOOOOOOOOOO 6909000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Rise and shine intensity, the material is extremely varied. ”The Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill,” for example, is a typically ambigu- ous heavy metal love song, which is, however begrudg- ingly, hard to dislike. There are also a number of songs reminiscent of Zen Arcade such as ”Terms of Psychic War- fare” and ’’I Don't Know What You're Talking About” which seem to cry out with frustration. The last song on the album, ”Plans I Make,” if you can call it a song, degenerates into some sort of industrial noise that is reminiscent only of a garbage can crashing down a flight of steps. No, New Day Rising is not the most accessible record around, but it is one of the most worth- while. This, like its predecessor has given hardcore a new dimension. It seems that there is indeed a new day rising for Husker Du and, with luck, oth- ers will listen and wake up. MICHAEL FAY % tion that taints the record throughout. To further complicate mat- ters, Isaak lacks a cohesive band behind him. Only guitarist James Calvin Wilsey is credited with permanent status. Many groups create an interesting sound with limited instrumen- tation, but few of the musical ideas on Silvertone are new, and their treatments generally pale in comparison to their predecessors. Eclecticism hardly qualifies as art when it merely traces the outlines of rock ’n’ roll arche- types. This guy even manages to look like Elvis. No one will improve the music of Elvis Pres- ley and Carl Perkins, but their work has been built upon and had new life breathed into it. Chris Isaak, with his austere musicianship, sappy tales of love’s lost-and-found depart- ment and derivative vocal ploys, neither builds nor breathes - and, therefore, the album fails. BRYAN J. FISCHER JOHN PARR John Parr Atlantic Backed to the hilt by ex-Who manager John Wolf, British rocker John Parr has made a dashing foray into the Ameri- can pop-metal market, blown wide open last year by Van Halen. This debut lp is peppered with some palatable, hard- edged moments and is bloated with fine production, but ulti- mately suffers the effects of a lyrical famine. All nine songs deal with varia- tions on s:z’:w~_ialit},' (no surprise, ,..:i\»'r=»ri the ii?’-:‘:"F ~'-::..r iwiti» S-fer": ese@OOOO060009900090000006090009090996000909.99000909999990000mmmumQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ pains of thinking on the most sexist level. ”Naughty Naughty" is inter- esting insofar as it uses studio gimmickry, but the album's high points are definitely ”She’s Gonna Love You to Death” and ”Somebody Stole My Thunder.” Both songs are AM/FM-styled tunes with hooky refrains that should pass through the sieves of radio programmers clue to their simplicity. One is able to grasp the entire statement of the songs after hearing the first line of each chorus, leaving no apparent reason to follow the verses. For the audience that this album is obviously aimed at reaching, ]ohn Parr succeeds at playing on the single- mindedness -that we hope all adolescents will eventually grow out of. They usually do. JEFFREY SEWALD WARMING UP TO THE ICE AGE John Hiatt Geffen There are moments on Warm- ing Up To The Ice Age when John Hiatt comes across as a sort of macho Elvis Costello. This asso- ciation partially arises from the fact that Costello himself sings a duet with Hiatt on the ballad ”Living Just a Little, Laughing Just a Little.” But even if Elvis had nothing to do with this album, a small degree of comparison would be inevitable. Take a song title like ”Number One Honest Game," add snatches of r&b organ play- ing, a calypso beat and lyrics like The Ace of Spades is walking on the .7.:‘(4.‘c."""_/llht’ ,i0l((’r'.«~ {Tn/3., dr1La‘{'l2t:*r .9‘: ‘ u 2”: 151:’ V ' I ‘7 2 i.;‘m* H‘ .:’2'm71‘-». 13"‘ J » 4 ~w~{.1; .\.i-.4 .’ $1 g$WWM“'OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO09009000000990009090 This fleeting similarity to the bitter-but-polite Elvis is the exception rather than the rule on Warming Up To The Ice Age, Hiatt's second release. The bluesy guitar hooks and gruff vocals on cuts like ”The Usual" establish Hiatt as a kind of ironic ladies’ man hanging out in bars, getting teased by cold-hearted women and belting down the same drink. Horns, funky bass lines and soulful harmonies account for the warmth on Ice Age,and Hiatt endows his earthy witticisms with an appropriately gritty delivery, but something pre- vents this album from cooking in the way that slick rhythm and blues like this is supposed to. Maybe songs like ”I’m a Man” and ”I Got a Gun” are a little too predictably "low down and dirty.” Maybe if the production weren't so clean, it wouldn't be necessary to put the phrase ”low down and dirty” in quota- tions when applying it to Hiatt. On Warming Up To The Ice Age, Hiatt has found a nice middle ground between raunch and lighthearted funk. It's a pleasant climate, but not quite hot enough. CARRIE STETLER Showcase, Friday, February 22, 1985 A woman possessed by Michael Selz It's unusual for a love story to be eclipsed by its atmosphere. Usually, ..it's the emotion, the dialogue or the characters’ intensity that makes a love story riveting. Not so with Mrs. Soffel. This film is so rigidly atmos- pheric that some viewers have com- plained that they couldn’t see well enough to know whether or not they liked it. The story is simple enough. In the summer of 1901, Ed and Jack Biddle (Mel Gibson and Matthew Modine) were sentenced to hang for the murder of a grocery clerk, killed dur- ing an attempted burglary. Impris- oned in the death row of Allegheny County Jail, they drew the sympathy and protest of "many Pittsburghers, a ‘lot of them women. Less than two months before their scheduled exe- cution, they escaped the jail, freed by 5th & Bigelov Blvd..

On the surface, Mrs. Soffel was the embodiment of Victorian restraint and denial. Literally living in the pris- on (in the warden’s residence that was vacated only in 1980), she was a dutiful wife and mother. After recov- ering from a three-month illness, she began patrolling the prison, giving Bibles and words of Christian com- fort to the inmates. Her frequent vis- its to the Biddle brothers became less evangelical and more passionate in nature as Ed Biddle worked on her, /seducing her. Swept up with passion, she delivered files to saw the Biddles’ prison bars and candle wax to hold the bars back in place. The story is provocative on two counts. Kate Soffel gave up every- thing in her world to aid and then join these two men in their escape. Ed Bid- dle was transformed from a manipu- lating opportunist to a doomed lover by refusing to leave without her and so he impaired his chances for reach- ing Canada, their proposed refuge. We all know about the darkness-at- noon period of Pittsburgh's history. Mrs. Soffel is relentlessly dark. The prison is a gloomy maze of passage- ways and bars, relieved only by a seven-story atrium. .Grime covers the floors, the walls, the prisoners’ faces.There is a never-ending, never- explained clanking of metal — dully beating, evoking an air of labor or industry. » Equally dark, but warm and luxuri- ant iﬁ its Victorian clutter, is the Sof- fels’ residence. Here at least, the Soffel children inject a little levity into the grim chain of events (”Mom, you know they had to pick the gro- cer’s brains off the wall.7"). Outside the prison, the streets are snowblown and dark, no matter what "time of day. Pittsburgh residents seem to favor clothes of black, grey or dark green. Mrs. Soffel herself is pal- lid and worn, her face all circles and lines except for her sparkling eyes. What's amazing is how the feel of the film changes with the Biddles’ escape. Kate Soffel becomes flushed Diane Keaton and Mel Gib son star in Mrs. Soffel. with exhilaration and sex, her unwrapped hair flying about. As she is transformed, so is the landscape. Snow-covered terrain, bright with sunlight, flashes past them as they ride a horse-drawn sleigh. Giddy and giggly with freedom, she talks lightly of the $5,000 on their heads: ”We just won't let anyone collect that, will we?" The soundtrack obliges their exuberance with panpipes and auto- harp, sleighbells and harpsichord. It hurts that they're doomed. ' Diane Keaton shows range and subtlety. She's matured since the clumsy nervousness of Annie Hall. .She doesn't merely cross over a bar- rier into illicit love and stay there. She vacillates. After Ed kisses her for the firsttime, she runs to her apartment and washes her mouth, but then chuckles. Mel Gibson's Ed Biddle is impossi- bly both arrogant and humble. He gazes warmly at Kate Soffel and strikes responsive long-silenced chords in her. ”You live here. You know what it is to live here,” he says, pulling them together in their desola- tion. In one scene, you can feel that although he is manipulating her, he finds at the same time that his emo- tions aren't feigned. ”What do you want from me? Why do you come _ here?” he shouts, and pulls her hand through the bars to his neck, implor- ing her to feel the beat of life in him. Gillian Armstrong's first Ameri- can film succeeds on every level. It is arresting, beautiful to look at and exceptionally well-acted by profes- sionals who just keep getting better. It's a story of true love set in Pitts- burgh. No romantic problem will seem insurmountable after this one, I ' promise you.

No, it's not a new porn movie. Rather, it's a comical, heartwarming, true-to-life story of five total strangers — a brain, a beauty, a jock, a rebel and a recluse — with nothing in‘ common, meeting for the first time. 1 The Breakfast Club, which stars Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, Anthony Hall, Judd Nelson and Molly Ring- wald, is filmed almost entirely in a high school library. On a cold, bleak winter morning, these five students from an upper- middle-class suburb of Chicago arrive at Shermer High School to spend the entire day —— from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. — serving detention. During the course of the day, these five strangers who seem to have little in common come to learn that they share more than they first realized. Not only do they come to learn a great deal about each other, but ulti- ma tely they come to learn a great deal about themselves. Emilio Estevez plays Andy Clark, the handsome star wrestler who sports his letterman's jacket with athletic ease. In appearance, Andy is the stereotypical jock, but we find out later in the movie that his cool, stone- faced image is an image. In truth, he's living his high school years to please his father and not for self-enjoyment. As Andy, Estevez is an impressive figure onscreen, sure to make any high school girl flip. Molly Ringwald as Claire Standish, a budding beauty who is much too. sophisticated for her age, is enough to make any boyish heart skip a beat. Very popular and very rich, Claire is an object of envy. Ringwald seems to Unlimited Career Options...

Anthony Michael Hall plays Brian Johnson, the exemplary straight-A student and the immediate object of the group's scorn. Hall, who gives the most honest impression of caring for his fellow detention mates and whose voice opens and closes the film, gives the aura of being born to act. Judd Nelson'is John Bender, the punk from the wrong side of the tracks. His blatant contempt for eve- ryone and everything stems from a torrid home life. Bender gives the group and the movie leadership and a focal point. As Bender, Nelson is a moving and polished actor who relies on his cockiness to draw emotion from the audience. Ally Sheedy plays Allison Rey- nolds, a painfully withdrawn, seem- ingly crazy student whose parents, she claims, ignore her. Her perfor- mance gives» the movie that extra touch of erratic humor that occasion- ally makes you want to chuckle. We've all been ignored at one time or another, much the same way as each of these ‘characters have been. And that's what makes this movie so good: It allows the audience to parti- cipate and reminisce with these five students. The Breakfast Club is an entertaining opportunity to slip back to your high school days —— assuming you want to, of course. Directed, screenwritten and produced by John Hughes (Sixteen Candles), The Breakfast Club definitely shows his ability to turn out good films.

Anyone visiting St. John’s Uni- versity campus on a mild February afternoon immediately notices two things: Fourteen out of 15 cab driv- ers in New York City do not know where the campus is, and once on campus, the infamous Louie Carne- secca sweater is all the rage. A cheap copy of the sweater in T-shirt form sells for $12.50 at the campus book- store. ’ On Jan. 19 at the ﬁeld house, St. John’s defeated Pitt 73-67 behind seniors Barbara Rapp and Faye Gerald, who combined for 32 points and eight rebounds. Rapp and Gerald were recently dismissed from the team for disciplinary reasons and will not return. Both were key players in the St. J ohn’s attack, and their loss would seem to spell doom for the Express. Not so, according to assistant coach Kerry Phayre: “We’re playing more like a team now. The kids that hadn’t been playing much have come through, and we have a better atmosphere among the players.” The first half of the game was a seesaw battle. From the opening tap, both teams came out playing hard and with 4:54 to go, the score was tied at 27. For the remainder of the‘ half, the Lady Panthers took control and outscored St. John’s 12 to four, to take a 39-31 lead into the locker room. Pitt was led by All-America can- didate Jennifer Bruce with 14 points. St. J ohn’s small front line could not control Bruce, and it looked like she would be in for another big night. Bruce got help from Kim Gannis, Sports St. John’s nips who came in off the bench to score eight points. Gannis was used exten- sivelyvin the first half, due to the absence from the Panther offense of starting guards Lisa Fubio and Kim Tirik. The two combined for only four points in the first half. St. John’s got eight points from Jan Burgess and six from Althea Yard and Jackie Smith. St. John’s opened the second half using a full-court zone press, and immediately the Panthers lost their poise and the lead. With 15:25 to play in the game, Jackie Smith con- verted on a three-point play to give the Express a 42-41 lead. On the strength of their full-court pressure and a matchup half-court‘ defense, St. John’s outscored Pitt 11-2 in the first five minutes of the second half. “They played a match- up zone, and we don't know how to break the matchup zones,” com- plained head coach Judy Saurer. St. John’s also closed off the inside on Jennifer Bruce, who could not get free. “They were packing it in pretty well," said Tirik. “They were playing a matchup zone, and they were following her around all over.” With Bruce shut off on the inside, Pitt’s “other” forward, senior Ellen Gilhooley, rose to the occasion. Gil- hooley, who had only two points in the first half, scored 12 in the ﬁnal 15 minutes to keep pace with the Express. There were 16 seconds remaining in the game when Lisa Fubio fouled Janet Roos. Roos converted both free throws to pull St. John’s to within one at 67-66. St. John’s head coach Joe Mullaney Jr. called a time-out after the second free throw. When play resumed, the Panthers inbounded the ball and Tirik was page 15 Lisa Fubio takes a jumper in Panthers loss to St. John’s. Dave Hooer/ e Pitt News fouled by Burgess. Tirik’s ﬁrst shot hit the back of the rim and bounced out. Bruce and Yard went for the rebound. Bruce, realizing that she could not grab it, got one hand on it and_ slammed it down. Tirik then grabbed it when it bounced back to the foul line. As Tirik controlled the ball and turned to pass, the officials called Tirik for pushing off on the play, sending Smith to the free throw line with seven seconds remaining. “I thought I had a clean rebound,” said Tirik. “There wasn't anyone within five feet of me, and I turned around and about two seconds later, the ref called a foul." “I thought it was an unfair call at that point,” said Saurer. “I thought The men’ swim team reached a level of perfection D not seen at Pitt since 197 6, going undefeated and untied all year. ave Hooker,’ The Pm News Hoop update Press Box The women’s basketball “team will need some help from conference rivals to move up in the Big East seedings. we had a rebound. I didn’t see her swinging any elbow.” Smith, who happens to be an 86- percent free throw shooter, stepped to the line and calmly sank both to give St. John’s a 68-67 lead. With seven seconds remaining, Pitt inbounded the ball and called time out. There was now only four seconds _left in the game. Stephanie Collins, whose last- second shot had beated Boston Col- lege in January, entered the game to try and duplicate the heroics. While inbounding the ball, Tirik saw that Collins was covered so she threw it in to Lisa Fubio. Fubio’s shot was no good, and during the scramble for the rebound the buzzer sounded, ending the game. “We were trying to get the ball to Collins but she was covered,” said Tirik. “Fubio looked open sol threw it in to her, but with four seconds you can’t do too much but throw it up and hope it goes in.” The Lady Panthers are now 9-6 in the Big East and must beat Connect- icut on Saturday to finish fourth. St. John’s is now 12-4 in the Big East and could finish in a tie for ﬁrst if Villanova loses at Providence on Saturday. _ Bruce led Pitt with 23 points and 14 rebounds, with help from Gilhoo- ley who had 14 points and seven rebounds and Kim Gannis with 10 points. St. John’s was led by Yard who had 16, Smith's 15 and Jan Bur- gess with 13. Swimmers finish perfect By Teresa Varley For The Pitt News When a sports team performs poorly, more often than not it is the coach who takes the blame. And so when .a team performs well, the coach should get a good part of the credit. University of Pittsburgh women’s swim coach David Belowich cer- tainly deserves credit. His athletes went 9-0 this season, the ﬁrst time the team has gone undefeated since 1976. It was only the second time that a team Belowich has coached has accomplished such an honor. (In his third season at Sarasota (Fla.) High School, his boys’ team went 11-0.) They accomplished this by defeat- ing Princeton 84-56 in the season finale at Trees Pool. “It’s nice from a personal stand- point,” Belowich said. “I am goal- oriented and so is the program. It is the satisfaction of accomplishing a goal.” Belowich, who is from Butler, Pa., has been at Pitt since the 1981-82 season. The past two seasons he has coached the Lady Panthers to two consecutive Big East titles, and a third one could be close at hand. The Big East Swimming and Div- ing Championships will be held at Pitt’s Trees Pool on Feb. 28-March 2. Pitt is once again expected to win it all. continued on page twenty page 17 Weekending The Pitt wrestling team competes in its last dual meet of the season when it travels_to Franklin and Marshall and Millersville State.

The Pitt News, Friday, February 22, 1985 New lineup to start against BC By Mark A. Sindler The Pitt News Surveying the smoldering heap before him, Roy Chipman acted not with calculation but instinct. Onlv when his eighth year as head basket- ball coach expires next month will he deem his actions responsible or careless. Until that evaluation is filed, he’s content that he thoughtfully disre- garded the open-window option. After St. .lohn’s and Georgetown, first and second in the ‘nation, respectively, sheared the Panthers by a collective 45 points, his squad lay in ruins. The fire under control, it isn’t necessarily doused. So, yesterday Chipman first cordoned off this week’s practices fromall inquirers (no media bias). Next, he announced that the starting lineup will change for tomorrow’s 8 p.m. game against Boston College. Significantly. “I don’t know how long or how drastic it will be," Chipman said. “It's a safe bet there will be changes. “We have some people in the lineup who are not contributing. The point we’re trying to get across is any game you go into, you play as hard as you can. We haven’t done that.” ' It is Chipman’s first lineup shuffle in nine games. Another cautionary wager says it’s his first this late in the season at Pitt. Only center Keith Armstrong and forward Charles Smith are likely holdovers. Any other betting money will not be on the Panthers (I5-9, 6-7), who face a B.C. team which has scored seven victories in its last nine tries. The Eagles are 18-7, 7-7, and are in fifth place, one-half game ahead of the Panthers. To better two straight 6-l0 sea- sons, the Panthers must also face Syracuse on the road and Villanova at home before the curtain falls on the season. Their sixth-place niche isn’t so secure, as Connecticut is one breath away. “We really want them to focus in on that," Chipman said, trying to emphasize just that. “I know we played the top teams in the country, but we go into games with goals in mind. Not goals to win those games, but you must play well and execute the game plan.” That is nearly impossible when your point guard shoots two-of-22 in the last three games -— after scor- ing 43 points in the two previous games. ‘ Buffalo sophomore Curtis Aiken has rudely realized his shooting resembles the hometown weather. Because of these most recent frontal patterns, senior reserve Charles Thompson will likely replace the guy who’s been Pitt‘s court generalall season. No matter to Chipman. He’s done playing meteorologist. . “We’ve tried doing everything we can,” Chipman said. “We’ve tried to explain he’s a good player. There’s only so many directions a coach‘ can go. — “What we really want him to do is understand his not shooting well doesn’t necessarily mean he can’t do other things. There seems to be a large correlation between shooting well and helping the team. I see it as a point guard: Distribute the ball, handle the ball, execute. And, hope- fully shoot the ball. “I‘m still confident Curtis Aiken can be a good point guard. But he has to be confident he can be a good point guard.” Interestingly, Aiken is the second leading scorer with 10.6 ppg. He could see his first benching this year as two other up-and-comers can anticipate their first starts. Fresh- man Junie Lewis, leadingthe Panth- \ ers with 12 points against Georgetown, could be alongside Thompson at second guard. Or it could possibly bejunior Joey David. The dozen points came after Lewis hadn’t even played against St. John’s or UConn and scored zeros in the two games prior to that. Replacing power forward Chip Watkins makes for a tossup between Darryl Shepherd and Marlon Fer- guson. Recall that Shepherd entered the B.C. game Jan. 21 in the second half. scoring eight crucial points before fouling out. Currently, Shep- herd_i_s hitting 49 percent from the field in l2.5 minutes a game. Fergu- son is four percentage points higher, but has only half ofthe playingtime. “Go down from any position and everyone has to contribute,” Chip- man said ofthe noted absences in the last two games. - “I try not to focus on the two losses. I try to focus on why the two losses occurred.” Boston College's Gary Williams doing the slow roll to the NCAA Tournament, page 18. “I feel like I let a lot of people down.” Gerry Cooney, after losing his bid for the heavyweight championship in a fight with Larry Holmes, June 1982.

Wrestlers in final tune-up meet By Kirsten Gostony The Pitt News The Pitt wrestlers are traveling to the eastern part of the state where they will wrestle their last dual meets ofthe season. On Saturday at 2 p.m., the Panthers will meet Franklin and Marshall College. Later that even- ing, they head for Millersville State, where they will compete at 7 p.m. “Even though we’ll be competing against two teams on Saturday, there is a five-hour break in between and that should give us ample time to recuperate,” explained head coach Rande Stottlemyer. The Panthers are going into the matches with hopes of reaching a goal they had set for themselves ear- lier this year. “When we reviewed our schedule and personnel in the beginning of the season, we had projected on paper to ﬁnish 5-10,” said assistant coach Jack Spates. “From there, we set our goals on a 9-6 ﬁnish. Where things stand, going into the matches this weekend, it looks like we’ll at least be able to ﬁnish 8-7." __ ‘*1 think it’s important to note that even if we ﬁnish 8-7, it’s still ‘a win- ning record," added Stottlemyer. “That was also a goal we had hoped to achieve. “We're looking forward to this weekend, because it’ll be a good way to finish out the season in dual meets. Plus it’ll be the guys’ last chance to prepare for the Eastern Wrestling League, Championships against opponents other than their own teammates," Stottlemyer continued. The Panthers’ problem of ﬁelding a full team continues, yet they are hopeful that Ken Hackman (injury) and Curt Conner (illness) will return before tomorrow’s matches. ‘‘It’s almost devastating to give up as much as we do because of our lack of depth," said Spates. “Yet, despite the fact that we often came up short, it has been really encouraging to see the outstanding progress certain individuals have made. And“ most importantly, the team’s unity and spirit are better than ever.” After they return from the week- end’s trip, the wrestlers will begin their ﬁnal preparations for the E.W.L. Championships which will be held next Saturday at Lock Haven University. Anyone inter- ested in tickets should contact Coach Stottlemyer at 624-4605. Women hope to get back on track ‘$1.00 on-‘ COUPON 0N By Jim Urban The Pitt News The Pitt women’s basketball team will need to regroup after the tough loss to St. John’s, ifthey are going to keep their hopes alive for a good tournament seed. The last obstacle in the regular season for the Lady Panthers is in the form of the Uni- versity of Connecticut. Pitt travels to Storrs this Saturday afternoon in an attempt to get a lock on third place in the Big East, but this team will need a good bit of help from the bottom three teams in the conference.

Seton Hall is 12-13 after Wednes- day’s loss to frontrunner Villanova, 71-55. A Pitt victory and a Boston College loss would leave both teams with identical 10-6 conference records, but Pitt would be awarded third place by way of their two victo- ries over the Eagles in conference play. Syracuse is also in the picture, tied with Pitt in fourth place at 9-6. The Orangewomen face 3-12 George- town on Saturday, and unless Pat Ewing puts a wig on, it looks like a sure thing for Syracuse. Should things not work out in Pitt’s favor, the Lady Panthers would most likely end up in fifth place, a spot that would pair them against host Syracuse in the first round of the Big East tournament, which is being held next weekend. For now, the task at hand is UConn. Pitt already has a 30-point victory over the Huskies this season, but the 3-12 Huskies will not roll ' over and play dead. The Huskies are led by their “Twin Towers," as they are called in Storrs. They are forwards Leigh Curl and Peggy Walsh. Both possess almost identical statistics, Curl with 14.7 ppg and 7.7 rpg and Walsh with l4.6 ppg and 7.8 rpg. Complementing the Twin Towers are guards Jill Brumbaugh and Tammi Sweet and center Jennifer Weideman. Coach Jean Balthaser’s squad went down to Providence 64-49 Wednesday night, as their overall record dropped to 9-16. page 17 OAKLAND FLJRNISHED APTS.

Sindler The Pitt News Gary Williams can't complain — not even about Rick Pitino. Williams, the third-year basket- ball coach of Boston College, may only have a 7-7 (18-7 overall) mark in the Big East, but nothing has yet managed to dent his relaxing, though persuasive mannerisms. Not even the rumors that one New York Knicks assistant coach spreads of Williams transferringjobs. Emit- ting a ragged benevolence from his office yesterday, Williams repeated once again the Pitino soothsayings. “I think Rick wants this job at B.C.,” Williams cracked softly. “I've already heard this from three differ- ent people.” Granted, Williams doesn’t grow tired of hearing the reruns. But ever since last week, when Auburn coach Sonny Smith announced his retire- ment come season’s end, Williams has been linked to his replacement. “It's a pretty goodjob here, people forget that,” Williams said. “We’ve had success here. Why put myself in a situation where success wouldn’t be so available?” Had Williams repeated that Jan. 21, rhetoricians would have ques- tioned his style. That night the Pan- thers overcame a 14-point deficit at Roberts Center to pull out a 61-55 win. It dropped the reeling Eagles to 2-5 in the Big East. Now, Williams only reels when he roams the sidelines. Ever since that defeat, B.C. has won seven of nine games, including big one-point vic- tories over Villanova (62-61) and Syracuse (67-66) recently. Tomorrow, B.C. will try avenging that loss when facing the Panthers at 8 p.m. at Fitzgerald Field House. “We've played hard since that [Pitt] game," Williams said. “We’ve had some good wins in the league.” The biggest would have been Wednesday night at Alumni Hall, where B.C. notched a four-point halftime lead before falling to No. 1 St. John's 71-69, and the biggest since B.C. took Georgetown to over- time Jan.» 5 before losing 82-80. Seemingly, Williams took the latest loss instride. After all, center Trevor Gordon missed a dunk in the closing seconds, during which time guard Stu Primus also missed a layup. “We just wanted the win each time,” Williams said. “It bothers you a little bit. And I am a little frus- trated. You work hard in the games, but it is nice to feel you played the No. 1 team to a two-point game.” Except for senior Michael Adams, Williams has a no-name bunch carving its own image. The point guard leads the Eagles with 16 ppg and 5.5 assists. Junior Dom Pressley is tops in field goals (55 percent), while Gor- don snares 5.5 rebounds per contest. The same JUCO transfer Gordon who was one term paper shy of season-long ineligibility the day Pitt beat B.C. 7‘ “We’re competitive, even though no one here is great,” ' Williams admitted. “We don’t have great shooters, only players who work hard.” A schedule working in B.C.’s favor forces Williams to also admit this year surpasses the 18-12 cam- paign last year. Outside of big conference wins. the Eagles have beaten Wake Forest (82-76), Michigan State (82-78) and sleeper Texas Christian (92-75). Add it all up and B.C. plays six Top 20 teams — four of them twice — - before the 1984-85 season ends. “People who know their basket- ball read into your schedule,” Wil- liams said. “We didn't play in Alaska or Hawaii and pick up a couple of wins there like other teams do. I like to think we’ve had a great year con- sidering the lack of attention in the preseason.” The story doesn't end there. “We’re good enough to be in thC_'~. NCAAs,” Williams said of the 64- team field. “We've beaten enough teams to prove that.” The story adds onto itself against the Panthers now cursing a two- game losing skid. “They’re still in a good position to know how well they can finish,” Wil- continued on page twenty O M THE BEST APARTMENTS FOR NEXT SEPTEMBER ARE RENTING NOW DON’T MISS OUT SEE US SOON DARAN MANAGEMENT COMPANY 683-4300 W’ l l l l !
