DU Party Draws Angry Response
F r o m Many In College Community
6.V Richard Burke
A number of individuals and campus
organizations have responded angrily to a
party advertised as "Back to the Womb
Night" at Delta Upsilon last Friday night.
P r s i d e n t David W. Ellis has expressed his
outrage at the event and Herman C.
Kisaah, dean of students, has announced
that an investigation into the matter will
take place.
The party included stairway walls
decorated with pink tissue paper, which
was illuminated by red lightbulbs, a
mattress shaped to resemble a giant
tampon, inflated c o n d o m s above the bar,
a sign behind the bar reading "ALW —
Association of Lafayette Wombs," and
one person with a hanger around his neck
dressed to resemble an aborted fetus.
Groups expressing their outrage and
concem a t the event include
the
Executive C o m m i t t e e of the Association
of Lafayette Women, the Professional
Women of Lafayette, and the Panhellenic
Council, an organization of Lafayette
sororities.
Ellis c o m m e n t e d , "Based on the
limited information that 1 have available
to me, I must conclude that the event
exhibited both vulgar and degrading
behavior.
It
shows
a lack
of
u n d e r s t a n d i n g of responsibility
and
sensitivity in human relationships. This
type of action is totally antithetical to
the mission of an institution of higher
learning
which
must include
the
preservation of the dignity of human
beings."
Kissiah said, " D e a n MacEwan is
conducting an investigalion into the
actions of Delta Upsilon this past
weekend. As of Wednesday, F'ebruary 25,
most of what we have heard has l)een
from secondary sources. The investigation
is designed to find out what did occur at
the party. A decision on whether or not
to present the case to the Committee on
Student C o n d u c t will be made after the
initial investigation."
Bob Roth, ' 8 1 , presideni of Delta
Upsilon, said, "We didn'l seriouslv

consider the implications of the party,
and we were taken by surprise al the
reaction to it. But 1 can understand the
women's point of view. From the e x t e n t
of the reaction to the parly, I think they
made their feelings well k n o w n . "
Roth noted that although he believes a
lol of women did leave the party when
they realized ils theme, " t h e parly was
very crowded, with t>olh men and women
enjoying themselves into the early hours
of the morning." He also said that the
idea for the party did nol originate
among the brotherhood but was taken
from another school.
"We are a fraternity lhal enjoys having
fun," Roth said. " N o harm is ever meant
by one of our parties."
Chris Neff, '82, and Melissa Galbraith,
'82, co-presidents of the Association of
Lafayette Women, c o m m e n t e d that the
ALW was particularly offended by the
sign behind the bar, Neff said, "This is
not m i»oUted incident. Our anger and
concern is n o t aimed specifically al DU
but al a general atmosphere on campus
which leads to the abuse of women. We
don't think lhal respect is l o o much to
ask for."
"This is nol a battle of men versus
w o m e n , " Galbraith said. " I t is a matter of
making fx-ople more sensitive lo the
needs of others. If DU had been in touch
with the way the average person Ihinks,
they would have realizea the implications
of the party. They wouldn't have had a
theme party demeaning an ethnic oi
minority group, but they apparently fell
that il was all right to have a party
offensive lo many women. II is almost
still a new concept at Lafayette thai
we're h e r e . "
Neff agreed, and added, "If anything,
we hope that this party and the reaction
to it will lead to better communication
among all people on c a m p u s . "

Schneiderman, O l e n t a n o , as a junior

automatically named to the nominating
c o m m i t t e e , and
the other
studeni
members were selected by the S l u d e n l
Organizations
Committee
of studeni
government.
The naming of s t u d e n t membeis of the
nominating committee has been an issue
in the past, and was the subject of some
debate al Monday's studeni g o v e m m e n t
meeting. Juan Jarrett, president of
s t u d e n t govemment, said that the only
specific charge conceming the prize in the
present by-laws is a statement whicb says
the S l u d e n l Organizations Commitlee
should oversee the actual election of a
prize-winner as part of its duties in the
annual spring election.
Since there was n o clear explanation
of the procedure for appointing studeni
members to the s u b c o m m i t t e e , many
different techniques have been used. In
the past 15 years the students have been
nominated by the executive c o m m i t t e e of
the s t u d e n t g o v e m m e n t and ratified by
the full body, they have been a p p o i n t e d
by the executive c o m m i t t e e , the S t u d e n t
Organizations Committee has requested
applicants from the s t u d e n t body and
recommendei^ individuals to the full

government,
the
student
govemment
president has
appointed
students himself, and in some years junior
class officers served a partial function in
the nominating process.

Fireshine will appeal his defamation case
against the college, according to his
a t t o m e y , J. Stephen Kreglow.
Another
former art
department
member, Mel Baker, will continue his
defamation suit despite the unfavorable
ruling in the Fireshine case. Although
Kreglow described the two cases as within
the same legal framework, he emphasized
that the facts in each are different.
Judge Alfred T. Williams, Jr., granted
the coUege summary judgment in the
Fireshine case, ruling that the evaluations
Fireshine claimed are defamatory are
"conditionally privileged."
The college has the right, therefore, to
evaluate faculty members in the interests
of maintaining a quality faculty.
The court held that Fireshine and his
a t t o m e y failed to show that the college
had abused conditional privilege and so
dismissed the case.
Both Fireshine's and Baker's cases
center on evaluative c o m m e n t s made
a b o u t them by Joseph Clubman, former
art d e p a r t m e n t head. A t t o m e y Kreglow
explained lhal the judge did not a t t e m p t
to discern whether or nol the evaluative
statements
were
"capable
of a
defamatory meaning." Attempting lo
determine the accuracy of C l u b m a n ' s
evaluations would only occur if the cases
go to trial, a situation Kreglow said he

VIEWPOINT
Things Are Not So Simple
By now everyone has heard a b o u t the
"Back to the W o m b N i g h t " held at Delta
Upsilon last S a t u r d a y . Where it will all
lead is now the question.

T h e college c o m m u n i t y will e x a m i n e
whether c o n d u c t regulations have been
broken. T h e college c o m m u n i t y will also
decide w h e t h e r this t y p e of behavior is so
distasteful t h a t it must be specifically
o u t l a w e d in the future.
It is i m p o r t a n t t o r e m e m b e r , however,
that D.U. did not invent bad taste, social
unawareness, insensitivity, sexism, or
whatever label o n e may wish t o p u t on
the behavior. Nor were they alone in
exhibiting such behavior. Many o t h e r

gone, the party would have been a failure,
it would not be repeated, and t h e
discussion of p u n i s h m e n t and blame
would be much clearer. Things are not so
simple.

even gone t o n o p a r t y at all. How much of
a sacrifice would it have been to miss one

It is just t o o simple t o say that the

for a larger, more complex issue:
that of the emotional and oflen

humiliation suffered by the
Lafayeite women at the hands

To the Editor:
Once again, we the brothers
of Delta Upsilon find ourselves
the center of dispute. Although
it is a position we enjoy and
usually engineer, the issue
currently debated is one we feel
should be approached seriously.
Specifically, we are addressing
the concem recently expressed
by the Association of Lafayette
Women and various sororities
over the theme and content ofa
p a r t i c u l a r party held last
weekend at our house. It seems
lhal the theme of the party,
"Back to the Womb," was found
"offensive" and "tasteless" by a
representative population of
Lafayeite women. So offensive,
in fact, lhal these women have

and disrespect towards women
al Lafayette.
We are writing lo express our
outrage at the extremely
offensive and sexist social event
held by Delta Upsilon Fratemity
last weekend. The event in
question was a "Back To The
Womb Party," featuring such
items as a giant tampon, al least
one person dressed as a bloody
fetus with a coal hanger stuck in
him and a sign reading "ALW:
Association of
Lafayette
Wombs."
We urge all those in the
community — faculty and
sludents, men and women —
who are as concemed as we are
lo join us in protesting this sort
of behavior. We demand that
D.U. publicly apologize to the
community, and pledge itself
not to repeal such behavior in
the future.
Besides being in the poorest
taste such an event is a flagranl
violation of the principles on
which coeducation is based:
equality and respect. It is
especially disturbing that such a
grotesque insult to women
should occur jusl as Lafayette is
celebrating its tenth anniversary
of
c o e d u c a t i o n . We are
particularly concerned with this

is a point we would like to make
clear. The character of the social
tradition of D.U. has been, is
now, and ever shall be in a spirit
of spontaneous, light-hearted,
and often eccentric hedonism.
We feel this attitude is necessary
to offset the anxiety often
g e n e r a t e d by
Lafayetie's
academic life. II was in this spirit
that the party was conceived and
planned (all in a span of two
hours); not with the inteni of
aiming a degrading missile
toward the ego of Lafayette
women. Most of those who
altended, accepted the party in
its original, humorous intent and
simply laughed. However, as
Lafayeite men, we sometimes
fail lo foresee lhal we may be
c o n t r i b u t i n g to Ihe more
wide-spread problem of feminine
abuse.
During the past few days
informal
discussions have
occurred belween members of
[)-U. and a number of the
offended parties. During these
discussions the arguments of
those offended were found lo
have some validity. Yet these
discussions also reveal that the
offended parties fail to recognize
that D.IJ. devotes enormous
expen.se and lime to provide
social entertainment for all and
that there was no malice
inU-nded on this occasion. The
problem of feminine abuse
cleariy does not center around
D.U. Vs. women's groups; it
concerns the whole campus To
use D.U. as a focal point, a
scapegoat, would be ineffectual
and unacceptable to us. We do
regret having offended some, bul

Finally Arthur can wait no longer. He peers into the
delivery room and sees the doctor The doctor buttons up the
ol' sledves, sets to it, and before long, slap — a baby nerd is

Obviously, the previous account is hypothetical. The
underiying principle behind it, however, is not: nerdism is
genetic. Contrary to popular belief, environmental factors and
social conditioning have nothing to do with the forming of a
good nerd. It's hereditary, all in the genes — nerd parents will
invariably spawn nerd children.
This hereditary idea is extremely important in terms of
understanding nerds. Like-wise, in order to start with a firm
foundation for leaming about nerds, we must also realize two
other equally important facts: a) all nerds are male and b) all
nerds wear glasses.
While there may be jock-guys and jock-gals, preppies and
preppettes, there is no such thing as a nerdette. To be sure,
females have been known to display nerdish tendencies at
times, but they are merely attempting to emulate the male
archetyf>e. Women can only act like nerds at best They can
never' actually be true nerds. The primary reason why this is
the case involves the fact there is a specific nerd uniform
which consists of clothing worn by males only (more about
this later).
There has not been a nerd yet who has not worn glasses.
The most popular model seems to be your basic black-framed
spectacles, although the tortoise shell model is now accepted
in certain Northeastern regions of the United States. Do not be
fooled by newborn nerd babies by the way — they usually
wear contact lenses until six to eight months of age.

THE FORMATIVE YEARS
The time from age one to age fifteen, the formative years, is
perhaps the most difficult in the life of a nerd. Not only are
young nerds pale, frail, and sickly, but they must also bear the
agonies of constant ridicule from their peers. While normal
kids are out playing stickball and beating each other up, the
pre-pubescent nerd sits up in his bedroom and either reads
Dante's Inferno (in Latin) or looks for spelling errors in The
Encyclopedia Brittanica.

Learning From Our Mistakes
To the Editor:
It is our opinion that Delta
Upsilon's "Back to the Womb"
party and Ruefs "Fruit of the
Loom" party should not be
singled o u t for public
disapproval. These are not
isolated events but a part of the
larger problem — the ^ack of
respect for others in the
Lafayette community.
It is our hope that the
campus will not continue to
debate events that are past but
rather that we leam from them
and act accordingly in the
future. We should all try to be
more aware of people's feelings
and of the effects that our
actions may have on other
membeis of our community.

determine if a bike is too
dangerous to ride.
In 1973 the faculty upheld
this rule when the discussion
centered on the noise of a
motorcycle. The legal limit for
motorcycles, as set by the EPA,
is 83 decibels (80 in 1986), this
is not higher than the noise
produced by most stereos and
certainly far legs than that of
the infamous leafblowers (this
writer would welcome a school
imposed fine for any rider whose
bike is louder than the legal
limit). The Environmental
Protection Agency also stated
that "88 percent of America's
motorcyclists ride quietly and
responsibly"
{American
Motorcyclist, March '81). The
remaining 12 percent are not
likely to be the type of student
who attends Lafayette.
The
supporters
of
motorcycles have usually
defended motorcycles on the
basis of economics. As gas prices
climb past the $1.40 mark a
motorcycle which yields 50
MPG costs far less to operate
than a typical car (14.29 MPG,
both figures Federal Highway
Admin.). The initial purchase of
a motorcycle is also far less
expensive than for a car. A
motorcycle with less than
10,000 miles can usually be
found for between $200-$400.
I would like to appeal to the
faculties' common sense asking
that they put away any visions
of Hell's Angels motoring
throu^ campus and examine
the facts of cycling.

Cone's Visit Appreciated
To the Editor:
I'd like to thank the ABC and
the Religion Department for
bringing a truly different
perspective to Latayette. I am
referring to the presentation
given by Dr. James Cone of
Union Theological Seminary.
Cone is a leading spokesman and
author of Black Theoloc.
Though in his speedi Monday
evening Cone also addressed the
problem of oppression within
the church, I'm drawing
attention to his stand on
educational oppression. Instead
of "reconciling ourselves to the
status quo," Cone suggests we
should question creatively the
fact that Uadu are so greaUy
outnumbered in academic
circles. Though this problem is
deeply rooted in the Black
situadoa. Cone urges us to be
sympathetic to the many years
of affluent white dominance. He
is vehement in this call to "raise
our educational consciousness;"
we enjoy our comfortable
lifestyle "up here on the hill"
and avoid the "udy side" of the
problem. After all, when was the
last time you enrolled in a
course Uught by a Black
professor here at Lafayette?
Though his sUtements are
frequently controversial, I do
think them essential to a hotbed
of ideas like our own.
Indeed, at an institution like
ours, with such an awesome
white-to-black ratio, I think his
positions merit particular
recognition. And as a member of
the JCP subcommittee on
Lecturers and Drama, I know
how difficult it is to get a
speaker with such a far-removed
standpoint I appreciate the
efforts of those involved in
arranging Cone's visit and
encourage similar visitations m
the future.

To the Editor:
1 am writing as an interested
individual — not as a
representative of our office or
the administration — to make a
simple, sincere, plea to certain
oocai segments of the students in
attendance
at
the
Lafayette-Rider basketball game.
More specifically, I am referring
to the "bush" reactions of such
students to substitutions being
made late in the game.
My plea is that in the future
*s try to support the Leopards
instead of deriding certain
players and/or coaches either
when substitutions are aclually
being made or are about lo be
made. I am sure the players and
coaches would be the first to
admit they are struggling al
times. They are therefore in
need of greater, united sludenl
body support - not less.
Certainly they do nol deserve
public derision!

mankind, are deeply valued by
God, and He thus considers their
degradation an affront lo
Himself. From the beginning,
women have played a distinctive
and noble role in God's plan.
Jesus, throughout the New
Testament, also dealt with
women in a sensitive and
respectful manner.
DU's action, in making a
casual mockery of life,
constitutes a violation of this
value. It should be understood
that these actions and any
similar to them defame not only
women but all of God's creation.
We agree with many that an
outward apology from DU is
appropriate but more important
is an inward change of attitude
on the part of us all conceming
the value of mankind.

The Real Issue
To the Editor:
Amidst the objections to
Delta Upsilon fraternity's "Back
to the Womb" party this past
weekend, I believe it is
imperative that the main
objective of these protests
remains in the forefront. The
issue here is not D.U.'s right to
choose its mode of social
expression, but rather it is a
matter of respect. Saturday
night's event was simply another
blatant display of a campuswide
lack of sensitivity and regard for
women as human beings. We do
not seek retribution, which
would serve only to further
hostility, but rather we seek
respect as peers and future
co-workers. I am disappointed in
our fellow students who do not
think we deserve it. I think we
do.

Can such an appointee be

that diplomating with foreign

AVOCADO DIP
(Continued from page 2)
By age ten, the young adolescent nerd has usually compiled
the necessary nerd wardrobe. At this stage, nerd garb consists
of black loafers, white socks, Bermuda shorts, a black l)elt, a
fully buttoned polo shirt, and, of course, a watch. While some
nerds collect stam[>s at this age, most prefer to mount insects
and perform chemistry experiments in their closets.
Among other problems, nerds at this age rarely have
friends. After-school frolics and summer camp are not in the
adolescent nerds reoertoire. and this largely contributes to theur
friendlessness. Post-classroom hours are spent at the student
research center of the town college. Summers are spent
reading.
CALCULATORS AND HIGHLIGHTERS
No nerd would feel comfortable without a
complete line of nerd accessories. One of the most
important of these is the indispensable calculator.
Wom in its psuedo-leather case on a nerd's belt, a
calculator is to a nerd what a flask is to a drunk — he
must have it on his person at all times. Highlighters
(also known by non-nerds as nerd guns) are similarly
indispensable. Although highlighters now come in a
variety of colors (such as light blue and pink), only
the yellow highlighter is used by the true nerd.
THE HIGH SCHOOL YEARS
By the time high school rolls around, most nerds discover
that time spent with girls is frivolous and that tooth powder is
better than tooth paste. The high school nerd is at the point In
his life where npt much matters except calculus. Scientific
American magazine, and translating Sanskrit into Greek. He is
still friendless but doesn't care anymore.
Spotting a nerd in a crowd of high school students is about
as difficult as spotting a giant redwood tree in a mushroom
patch. The nerd is always the one oarrvine the book bag. The
contents of his book bag include notebooks, school books, a
years supply of mechanical pencils, and an abacus in case his
calculator goes on the blink (although some nerds have been
known to carry calculator rechargers in the event of such an
emergency).
Most nerds do not play sfMirts. If, however, a particular
nerd decides to compete on the high school level, he will play
chess (always taking care to wear a strap for his glasses). Also,
most nerds do not participate in any extra-curricular activities
save for the debatirig society or the geology club. Moreover, a
nerd is not at all likely to attend his own senior prom — he
would rather stay home to study quantum physics.
THE FIVE MOST FREQUENTLY USED NERD WORDS
1. invertebrate
2. assymptote
3. vector
4. onomatopoeia
5. study
COLLEGE AND BEYOND
Nerds only apply to' one college and they always get
accepted to that college. When the nerd arrives he meets his
roommate, who is usuuly a jock. The jock roommate will only
say two sentences to the nerd during the entire academic year:
"Hello, my name's Bart" on the first day and "Do my biology
homework for me tonight, will you Melvin?" every day from
then on.
It is hard to say just what major a nerd will pursue but you
can bet your bottom dollar that it will be some kind of science
or other. Unempirical majors, such as history and English do
not appeal to the nerdian school of thought.
As for drinking, smoking, drug taking, cheating, and other
normal habits, well, let's just say that they are inconsistent
with the overidl nerd attitude. In order to achieve nerdian
Uiss) or nerdvana, as it were, these people believe that they
must literally live in the library. Interestingly, however, most
nerds find the libraries at their school inadequate and must
travel to another library at another school to find what they
need for their research.
After receiving his B.S., the ordinary nerd will continue
with his education and receive his Masters and Ph.D. as well.
When he goes out into the real worid he finally gets a chance
to really do the research that he has wanted to do all along. In
the meantime, he will probably marry a woman who displays
very nerd-like tendencies and spend the rest of his life making
other nerds and watching public television.
Afterward:
Many of you readers out there have probably seen a copy
of your roommate's The Preppie Handbook (you certainly
wouldn't have one — you're not one of these preppies, right?).
Anyway, I'd just like to say that I hope youll all buy an
unabridged copy of my book, The Official Nerd Handboook,
because it's really much better than that other piece of trash.
Besides, I think that the author of "Preppie" made a real fool
out of herself simply by virtue of the fact that the book has to
have been written a ptsteriori. Since she knew so much about
being a preppie, well, my gosh, she must be the biggest preppie
in the whole world! Hey, it takesI ione to know one," right?

Julian Bond Acclaims Equality
While Citing Work To Be Done
by Dan Weisman
This pasl .Saturday, Julian
Bond, noted civil rights activist
and
Georgia Stat<' Senator,
spoke on the topic of, "What's
next, America?" lo a crowd of
approximately 350 in Colton
Chapel, The
Association
of
Black Collegians sponsored the
event as part of its celebralion of
Black Hisiory Month, His Ulk
ran to two main themes: the
hisiory
of the civil righLs
movement and weaknesses in the
American system today.
As lo the first theme, he
began by noting the hisiory of
the NAACP, which was founded
in the early 1900's in order lo
promote
harmony
and
understanding
among
the
differeni races. Ile then read the
NAACP's program which was
written
by W.E.B.
Dubois.
Quickly
jumping to
more
m o d e m times. Bond heartily
approved of Presideni Kennedy's
inaugural address which he fell
sel in motion the extended
democratization of politics of
the 1960's. He then look issue
with historians who claim the
riots qf^the late '60's provided
the full impetus towards black
equality. In truth, he claimed
"urban rebellion " did not work.
Instead, progn^ss only came
through
the
' ' m i l l tan t
non violence"
practiced
by
Marlin Luther King and his
followers |of whom Bond is
one).
From then', Bond ea.sed into
his second theme of preseni
problems and what we musl do
in the future. Firsl. he decried
the proposed Iwo-liered wage
system which would set a lower
minimum wage for teenagers
than adults. Claiming this would
force sons and daughters to
compK-te with their parents, he
condemned
what he called
"selfrighleous swinishness" of
corporate
sponsors of
the
legislation. This brought forth a
large cheer from the audience.
He forthrighlly continued on lo
state the problems blacks slill
have in striving for equality, the
chief one being poverty. After
c i t i n g various statistics, he
summed up the argument wilh a
series of rhetorical questions:
"What does silting in the front
of the bus mean when you d o n ' t
have the money to go anywhe^re?
What use is voting when you
have a choice between grits and
(irecian
lormula?" He then
advocated tlie use ol nexl year's
Congressional elections to find
an alternative to socialism for
Chrysler and fiscal fascism for
the poor.
Bond fini.shed off the speech
with
a
carefully-worded
denunciation of the Ku Klux
Klan. He quickly refuted the
Klan's contention that it is jusl
the same as President Reagan by
quietly pointing oul that Reagan
has never been known for killing
people,
beating them
wilh
ba.seball bats, or ca.straling them
and then pouring kertjsene into
the wounds. He ended the lalk
by comparing the KKK to "the
slime you
find
when
you
overturn a rock."
Although
the
following
question-and-answer
session
elicited
some
interesting
comments, most notably on the
public
school
system
(intolerable) and the murden; In
Atlanta (a terrible tragedy), this
writer found that part of the
evening to be a disappointment.
Too
many
people
merely
expressed extreme nero-worship
rather
than asking anylhing
substantive.
On the
whole,
however, the lecture was well
done with appropriate touches
of h u m o r highlighting il. II made
for
a very
pleasant
and
informative evening.

Engineers Lose Out Over
Best Wuy To Drop An Egg

Engineers this past Wednesday
behind the Alumni Hall of

building.
By
creating various types of vehicles
designed lo insulate an egg from
the impact of a long and hard
fall,
participants
generated
media attention, challenged their
minds, and had an uproariously
fun time. In the end, eight
people witnessed their creations
successfully land from the roof
of the engineering building with
an enclosed egg uncracked.
At>oul 100 people, including
members of a nalional magazine,
TV show and the local press,
watehed this second annual t g g

scores were tabulated, Scott

major, emerged
the
winner in this engineering type
contest. " I l ' s a b o u l lime AB

Fegley while basking in his
victory. His design, a while

t o be the craftiest design despite
his avowed lack of preparation
for the event. Both the second

egg was attached by the string lo
the four legs of the abstract
design and didn't have a chance.
Similarly, the " m o s t spectacular

evening in Colton Chapel. The
talk,
entitled
"Education:

focused on the role of education
in colleges and universities, and
the
difference
belween
verbalized and actualized goals
sel up by these institutions.
Sponsored by the Association of
Black Collegians and the religion
d e p a r t m e n i . Cone made a
persuasively dynamic argument
conceming the inequalities and
injustices that the "White power
elite" use to suppress minorities
in America.
identity. Colleges today focus
their lessons on White history.
"Instead of making heroes o u t
of slave masters like Washington
and Jefferson, they should focus
rather on the slaves that they
held."
In short,
education
should be for liberation and the
subjects of this leaming process
ought to be the "victims of the
land."
Cone challenged people to
ask themselves the question: " I n
what way does Lafayette College
p r o m o t e justice and equality for
all, and from whose cultural and
historical perspective are these
perceptions
of
justice
d e t e r m i n e d ? " He pointed out
that Lafayette accepts only a
small

minority
Cone openly admitted Ihat he
was
"very
suspicious

claimed, is "for the benefit of
the people in power. Oppre.s.sed
people are always victimized"
because of their inability to
communicate their demands to
the power elite. Cone argued
that
people
must begin lo
understand freedom from the
perspective of the oppressed

gainer for dinner twice a week in
the faculty dining room and
once a week in the living room
at McKelvey for discussion. The
Sunday meetings are the formal
business (informally conducted)
of the program. Each Sunday
there is a discu.ssion of some
aspect of a topic chosen for the
semester. Semester topics in the
past have included "The World
of L e o n a r d o Da Vinci,"
"Violence," "The Ascent of
Man," "Altered Slates of
Consciousness,"
and
"Rationalists and Romantics."
Faculty members are inviled lo
dinner to raise the intellectual
level of the dinner conversation
or tell amusing stories about
their collegiale careers.
Living at McKelvey means
much more than these meetings
imply. Although the meeting
might only go on for 90
minutes, members can oflen be
seen up for hours arguing over
some point, and throughout the
week discussions, debates,
arguments, bul nol fistfighls,
take place on anything from
supply side economics to
Mozart's personal life. The
i n t e r a c t i o n of minds al
McKelvey creates an atmosphere
that encourages members lo
speak their minds, in support or
outrage. The atmosphere is one
thing oflen mentioned when the
members are asked to describethe program, "There are more
people interested in learning and
talking aboul what they learn,"
says Carolyn Zelop, '83. "People
here have different interests,
they want to discuss new ideas
and get lo know each other
well,' says Pete Jackson, '81.
The atmosphere encourages
more than discussion, and
members are active in many
areas. Besides the fratemity
brothers, student government
types, and athletes, McKelvey
members have produced a film,
written a series of chromatic
dances, took trips to Hawk
Mountain, the Metropolilian
Museum of Art, and other places
under the auspices of the
program.
There are some benefits to
the program that are less
a p p a r e n t bul as equally
imporUnt. While a three block
walk frightens many typical
students, McKelvey members
can rise up to the challenge and
come to enjoy the 10 minute
walk to class past the houses on
the hill. It gives them a chance
to see people who are not
between the ages of 18 lo 22, a
rarity on campus. The walk gives
the members a new f>erspective
on the pressures and problems of
campus life, and creates a feeling
of closeness among t'he
members.
While
their
relationships mighl not always
be peaches and cream, the
members respect each olher
enough to give each other a
hearing. Men and women share a
relaxed living arrangement that
fraiernities and dormitories
cannot provide.

ll is apparent that a general
discontent felt by a large
fraction of the student body
culminated due lo a party al
D.U. last Saturday. The theme
and events occurring al the party
have been al the center of
campus conversation. Ilowever.
the reaction lo D.U.'s parly was
merely indicative of a more
widespread feeling of discontent.
This party and D.U. have been
isolated for comment because of
the blaUnt offense of their
theme and specifically for their
behind the bar sign which read
"A.L.W. -- Association of
Lafayetie Wombs."
The Associalion of Lafayette
Women is a community service
organization and did nol deserve
this slander from D.U. The
A.L.W. is a forum for all women
at Lafayeite and is concerned
wilh focusing on the needs of
women on a campus that is still
stmggling wilh co-education. In
this t e n t h anniversary for
women, we are celebrating the
variety of potentials women are
reaching today, here and in the
outside worid, and attempting to
enlighten ourselves and those
around us to the vast array of
abilities and aims of women in
t h e hopes of
increasing
communicat.ion
and
undersUnding al Lafayeite. The
least the A.L.W. demands is
respect from our peers.
One questions the high
attendance at the party if such
an outrage is fell. "The first poinl
that musl be mad^ is lhal due lo
D.U.'s general popularity on
campus, they would have drawn
the usual large crowd regardless
of their theme. It is also
imporUnt to realize the limited
a l t e r n a t i v e s open lo the
Lafayette student in search of a
social life. Women's choices are
narrowed down to avoiding such
parties (and the verbal and
physical abuse that accompanies

them), thus feeling socially
isolated, or ignoring the offenses
and aiming towards having a
good time. Such choices seem
obvious and lead many sludents
lo immunity lo an attitude
saturated wilh disrespect. This
particular theme and the deUils
of the party happen lo be
tangible cases of insensitivity
and thus have become the cenler
of this debate; this by no means
makes this an isolated case.
There are no accusations here
of a malicious attempt by D.U.
to degradale the A.L.W.
specificallv and women in
general. The crux of the problem
lies in the initial development of
the theme and lack of concern il
was m e l
with
by the
brotherhood. On the one hand
fraternities
are private
institutions which have the right
lo hold any type of party Ihey
desire. On the olher hand they
know that they are the major
source of social funclions on
campus. This implies that they
hold an important place in the
college environment and should
consequently
use
this
imporUnce in a manner which
will reflect favorably on all of
us. Many fraternities are guilty
of abusive actions towards
women. Many will readily admit
this following il with ". . . bul
no one has to come here, if they
do they're our guests." This is
true only in the strictest sense.
Fraternities have a responsibility
to the college to provide an
atmosphere where all studenis
should feel free to attend and
nol fear condescension and, once
again, respect.
In a way, perhaps D.U.
provided a service to women on
campus. The party initiated the
g a t h e r i n g of women in
representetion on all 5 sororities,
A.L.W., and a group of
i n d e p e n d e n t s . The group
expressed in full agreement their
concern and anger at a situation
t h e y are realizing
is
intolerable. The paramount
objective
is
broader
communication. If a greater
awareness and sensitivity can
arise from this present conflict
there is hope towards preventing
such an occurrence in the future
and towards improving our interpeer respect and cooperation.

Little Theater Presents Comedy
Delight: "The School For Wives''
A comedy about punctured
pomposity, entitled "The School
for Wives,'" will he the attraction
at the Lafayelle College Lillie
Theatre for four performances,
from March 4 through March 7,
1981, and it will have John
Halecky, '82, In the starring role
of its drolly deflated hero.
This has always been
considered one of the richest
acting assignments available lo a
comedian, ever since the play's
a u t h o r , Moliere, the most
brilliant comic dramatist of
French theatrical history, wrote
the part for him.self in 16(52. It is
such a plum role that it won
Brian Bedford the Tony Award
for the Best Acting Performance
on Broadway of 1971 when he
acted the part in the new verse
lran.slalion by Richard Wilbur
that is being used here at the
Lillie Theatre.
11 is an enormous part, in
which Halecky will be on sUge
during almost the entire course
of the play, comically depicting
wilh dead seriousness the plight
of a wealthy man frustrated in
his quest for a perfect wife. His
name is Amolphe and he has
believed that if he started early
and Irained a young giri
carefully
in simple-minded
obedience, he could be sure of
having the precisely faithful wife
he wants.
This well-laid plan is
shattered. Agnes, the radiantly
innocent maiden of his choice,
whom Arnolphe keeps in
protective custody until she is
old enough and "educated"
enough
for
matrimony,
full-heartedly falls in love wilh
the firsl impudent young
whippersnapper lo climb over
the garden wall to woo her.
The a r r o g a n t , disdainful
wife-trainer is totally fooled.
The essence of many famous
comedies is that their central
characters are fooled, but
Moliere's jest is lo have
A r n o l p h e made i n t o an
u n w i t t i n g and
reluctant
confidant and coconspirator pf
his younger, handsomer rival.
The uproarious result is that
Amolphe is forever being asked
Dy Horace, the fervent swain, to
help him in one plot or another
to tryst with the lovely Agnes —
despite the ogre (whoever he is!)
who has pent her up — and he
then musl manage lo foil the
plot he has helped hatch.
Halecky
has
unlimited
opportunities for slow Ukes and
slow burns as Horace tells him of
the giriishly eager welcome the
captive damsel gives lo his
courtship. Wilh each report he
offers
clenched-leeth
congratulations and his face
turns more grim and vinegarish.
It LS an actor's field day to be
saying one thing and to convulse
his audience by obviously
thinking differently.
When Moliere wrote the part
of Arnolphe for himself,, he was
the most skilled all-around
theatrical man of his time —
p l a y w r i g h t , actor, director,
designer, producer — and he
filled the part with lines and
occasions for sUge business that
he knew would bring down the
hou.se.
Such a girl-enslaving man,
confident in his male supremacy
that his premariUI wife-training
will work, has become, with the
increased interest in Women's
Lib of the 1970's an even greater
figure of fun than he was when
Moliere created him. Of the
1971 New York production,
critic Martin Gottfried of the
Fairchild F*ublications wrote
"This is an intelligent and likable
a comedy as is ever going to be
written."
In Halecky's supporting cast
will be Mary Manning, '84, as his
captive bride-to-be, who is not
neariy as dumb and docile as she
has been trained to be, and Mark
Bymes, '83, as the smitten
young man who wins her heart.
The cast includes as well Scott
Pargot, '82, Stephen Parahus,
'84, Mary Jean Sperger, '82,
R o b e r t Gaskell, assistant
professor of physics, Thomas
Huettner and Cameron Wamer,
'81.
Minott L. Coombs, associate
professor of speech and drama,
is the production's director,
giving f flourish and wink to this
pnme example of 17th centurv
jollity, and Robert Shample '83
IS designing the quaint settiii. of
the period.

Small clanes taught by skilled in-
certified can expect to spend
one semester during his or her
senior year in what is called tbe
"Educational Semester." It is
equivalent to five courses (15
credits) but is of a modular
nature. It is team taught by
several faculty members. The
modules involve fieldwdrk
experiences,
independent
studies, seminars, and guest
lecturers.
The Ed Semester is a very
concentrated and intense
learning experience. Pam
Paynton, '81, psychology major,
says, "It is a lot of work. Not
really hard work, but it does cut
into your social life. It taices a
lot of self-discipline." Three of
the five courses are divided into
28 leaming modules plus a
4 5-hour supervised aideship
project in an area school. Upon
successful completion of these
requirements within the first
seven weeks of the semester, the
student moves on to a full-time
student teaching project. The
student teaching plus seminars
constitute the other two courses.
Throughout the Ed Semester
much emphasis is- placed on the
ability to put education theory
into practice. A student must bie
able to demonstrate this skill in
many ways. The projects are as
varied and innovative as the
student's situation allows. For
example, last year an elementary
school history dass studying the
civil war visited the Easton
Cemetery to gather information
about civil war casualties. From
there they went to City Hall to
see if they could find other
records of birth, death, deeds,
marriages, and wills. The lesson
culminated with the students
writing epitaphs about the
people they had studied.
Obviously, by the time the
seniors are recommended for the
Pennsylvania Instructional I
Certificate, they are already
veterans of the teaching world.
After spending about 500 hours
working and observing the
educational process, the students
are well prepared and flrmiy
dedicated to the fine art of
teaching.

For this reviewer, Steve
Winwood has always been the
Alexander Pope of the rock
industry. Like the eighteenth
century poet-satirist, Winwood is
a guardian of sound art and good
taste. Through the fads of disco
to new wave, his sound always
remains Winwood: Understated,
jazzy, flowing. Arc of a Diver,
his first solo work in three years,
falls right in line with those
trademarks.
Describing his new LP as
" c e r e b r a l " seems limiting.
Though the perfectly-timed
keyboard and guitar fills prove
thai poinl, Winwood's music
also comes from his heart. The
beauty of /trc of a Diver is the
combination of stripped-down
genius and a rocking spirit,
winwood sings in the funkv

Life After Lafayette
by Curt Engesser
Sooner or later, someone
is bound to ask you what you
plan to do after college;
distant relatives from the
midwest and prospective
employers are notorious for
this. The fact that you are
essentially clueless shouldn't
present a problem: tell them
anything^^ t r u t h
being
optional. Provided here are
some well
thought-out
replies.
Question: What are you
going to do after you
graduate from college?
Responses:
1) Applied research or
development with emphasis
on digital electronics.
2) Try and get to the
liquor store before it closes.
3) Leave me the hell alone.
4) I'm going to try to aid
those less fortunate than
myself through service with
the Peace Corps.
5) Join the army and
shoot guns at people.
6 ) Get
a i o b or
something, 1 dunno.
7) I'm gonna get real rich
and buy a Cadillac with cruise
control and leather seats.
8) Drugs
9) Decisions are a
bummer; reality sucks. 1
think
I'll become an
accountant.
10) I'm gonna get a '67
GTO with chrome wheels, a
girlfriend with a tatoo, and a
Black Sabbath T-shirt, and
become a townie.
11) I'm gonna split to the
west coast and hang out 'till 1
get my head together.
12) I'm going into the
vibrant and exciting field of
computer programming.
13) Punt.
14) I'm kinda into a lot of
like, different things, you
know? 1 mean like, hey,
really, man, c'mon, OK?
15) I'm going to be a civil
engineer,
hopefully
specializing in tunnels and
foudations. Then, I can get
married, have 2.3 children,
and buy a station wagon with
plastic wood on the side.
16) My uncle offered me a
job with his ball-bearing
company; if I work real hard,
he said I might be able to
drive the forklift.
17) 1 plan to develop a
type of liquor that won't
create hangovers.
18) Ya*^got a light? Is this
Tuesday?

opening beat of the lille track
recalls the hypnotic sound of
Traffic's Low Spark of High
Heeled Boys, and then launches
i n t o an introspective yel
lislenable rocker. Again, the
lyrics are Winwood poetry:
"Lean streaky music spawned on

you I had to go/ 'Cause my rock

the beat it goes on." Sometimes,

"Second Hand Woman" reflects
Ihis. the over-emphasized beat
makes it almost standard AM
fare. "Nighl Train" almost
suffers the same fate, bul this
mover is saved by Winwood's
efficient instrumentals. These
two flaws are easily overcome by
the utter quality of all the other

Trust? Hardly. "You say the

may have heard rumours to the
effect that Elvis Costello has
mellowed (like cheese) and has

mellowed, nor is it content. Try

goes, if anylhing he's improved.
He still has thai knack for a

"She's got eyes like saucers,/ Oh,

Elvis can still be nasty, "White

disillusionment that so often

So whal keeps him from
being a sniveling drip? His sense
of t r u t h , of open-minded

mannerisms. He's nol asking for

be straight, "It's easier to say '1

look at the "The salty lips of the

Although the

do constitute sexual harassment

James P. Lusardi, a.ssociate
professor
of

commenled, "The theme of the

involves a callous disregard for
some serious social and political

explained away by saying it was
all done in the spirit of fun. The
matter suggests the impoverished

oppose the powerful fraternity
system on Lafayette's small
campus. She added, however. "If
women had n o t protested this
party, many students would

"Variations of this kind of

problems
between

Besides Clubman's evaluation
of Baker, an evaluation was done
by
David Pease of Temple
University's Tyler School of Art.
Pease performed his evaluation
using samples of Baker's work
and that of his students, and by
consultation with Gluhman. He
did not meet with Baker, and

Fund. The fund
has been
endowed by Haven's p a r e n t s lo
honor the m e m o r y of the 1978
graduate killed in an a u t o
accident in July of 1 9 7 9 . The
deed of the grant gives as its
purpose
creating
the
opportunity
to make
funds
available lo quallTied Lafayetie
students majoring in engineering
who wish to engage in a
" non-traditional
learning
experience" during the summer.
This will ultimately be defined
as opportunities for education,
growth
and
personal
development
which
are n o l
provided Ihrough usual course
work.
Applications, which must be
received by April 1 5 , are to be
sent to Kenneth
Demarest,
instructor
of
electri'cal
engineering. T o be considered,
applicants
m u s t submit a
description of t h e summer
project which they wish to
undertake a n d why il will be
beneficial
to them
bolh
educationally
a n d personally.
These projects should preferably
involve broadening experiences
such as those which are not
normally
found
in t h e
classroom. T h e recipient will be
chosen by the c o m m i t t e e from
a p p l i c a n t s r e c o m m e n d e d by
members of the faculty. For
students w h o have selected a
specific engineering department,
the r e c o m m e n d i n g
faculty
member must normally be the
department
head.
The
department head
must also
approve each application to the
committee.
The total a m o u n t of the
award
given t o the 1981
recipient(s)
wUl be $ 6 0 0 .
Normally this grant will b»^ made
for an experience such a.s
domestic or foreign travel, social
service
work,
research or
internship, etc., which is low or
non-paying. Upon returning to
school
in t h e fall, t h e
reclpicntls) musl moet with the

and one of the deans to discuss
the experience and whal ha.s
bt'cn gained Ihrough it.
David A. Portlock, assistant
dean of students, w h o is acting
on
Ihe
committee
as
representative
of the college,
said, "We are delighted to
receive this award from the
Havens family to provide this
exceptional
opportunity
for
engineering students to gel
i n v o l v e d in an educational
experience which will further
t h e i r academic growth and
personal development."
Havens
was a deans list
student wno majored in civil
engineering. He was president of
Tau
BeU Pi, the national
engineering honorary fraternity,
and after graduation secured
employmeni with Proctor &
Gamble Paper Product Co. He
graduated
from
Lafayette
summa cum laude in 1 9 7 8 . He
was a student who was "involved
in
more
than
traditional
academia" and his parents have
established this award so that
those students w h o otherwise
wouldn't have the means t o
explore these opportunities may
do so. Demarest has established
such criteria as the student's
academic record, the quality of
the opportunity, the degree to
which the experience differs
from the traditional classroom
environment, the desire of the
student, a n d the degree to which
the money is needed by the
applicant
as t h e
major
determinants of who will receive

Natators Suffer From Illness
Throughout Disapointing Season
by Mitchell Ratner
We were "plagued by illness"
says Coach Bill Lawson.
Between the flu epidemic and
various individual injuries, "it
was a very trying year."
At the end of the season,
men's finish with a modest 2-9
r e c o r d . With the
ECC's
beginning yesterday, Lawson
does not expect the team to be
competitive in winning, but
"there are some school records 1
would like to see broken."
With a relay team of Tom
Lawson, Paul Hackenbrack, Curt
Mayer, and Paul McDougall,
Lawson anticipates a record in
the 800 yd. freestyle, 400 free,
and 400 medley. Unfortunately,
due to a recent injury al the
PARD
Kutger's meet. Wink McHeffy
cannot participate in the ECC's.
Lawson also expects a good
outcome from Hackenbrack in
the
100 and
2 0 0 yd.
breaststroke, Mayer in the 200
freestyle and 200 backstroke,
and Lawson in the 100 fly and
200 IM. Lawson also mentioned
that junior Eric Bayer should do
well.
Women's swimming finished
with a less impressive 1-9 record
after
c o m p e t i n g in the
Philadelphia
Intercollegiate
C o n f e r e n c e at Drexel last
weekend. The Leopards placed
sixth overall oul of 10 teams
attending.
Three new school records
were broken last weekend.
WRESTLERS
This gets him into trouble and
even onto his back. Right now
we are working with him on
countering the counters." In
other words, the coaches are
trying to find a way to make
Mohr s wrist ride effective again.
Osbom won his match at 142
by decisioning James Tenbrook
5-4. This means that Osbom is
the only wrestler on the team
that is undefeated against E.C.C.
opponents. Teat then pinned
Todd Prather in 3:25 to make
the score 12-9 in favor of
Lafayette.
Dorf wrestled a gutsy match
at 158 with a bad shoulder. He
scored three points in the third
period to keep Bill White from
gaining a major decision. Dorf
Cathy Fedako sel a new record
in the 500 yd. freestyle which
had existed since 1976. Janey
Robertson broke her own record
in the breaststroke, and was also
a finalist in the 50, 100, and 200
y d . backstroke. Mary Ann
Sciabica also broke her own
record in the 400 IM's.
Diver Linda Pent/ placed
fourth off the low board and
fifth off the high board. Diver
Diane Goldsmith "also swam
well in the meet," said Lawson.
Lawson continued, "It has
not been a very good year for
the team," bul "individuals
swam well." Lawson seems
confident that new recruits will
strengthen the team for nexl
year.
(Continued from page 14)
lost 9-3 to tie the score at 12.
John Stoner pinned Tim Powell
in 1:37 to give Bucknell a six
point edge with three bouts to
goSteve Greenly decisioned
Lenny Artigliere 7-5 in a close
bout that included four stalling
points (two for each wrestler).
At 190 Mark Baker caught
Peterson in Bucknell's high wrist
ride and pinned him in 4:25 to
ut the match out of reach. Rick
asserotti pinned Larson in 3:29
to raise the final score to 27-18.
Piper said, "Overall we
wrestled spotty. Some people
wrestled very well, while other
people made some very big
mistakes. The mental errors cost
us matches."
The E.C.C. tournament is
P
being held here today and
tomorrow, and the team race
looks very close at this point.
Piper thinks that there will only
be 15 points separating the firsl
four teams. "A big part of the
team's success will depend on
our wrestlers in the consolation
bracket. If a wrestler gets beat,
he has to do well in the
consolations and try to take
third or fourth. We must also get
three to five people into the
finals. If we do this and the
wrestlers in the consolation
bracket do well, we could win. If
the wrestlers in the consolations
do not do well, we could finish
as low as fifth," says Piper
According to Piper, if there is a
favorite. West Chester would
have a slight edge.

FEDAKO MAKES A SPLASH
(Continued from page 14)
Team of Ann Dunbar, Nancy Pretzfelder, Linda Urson and
Fedako broke the existing 800 yard freestyle relay record by 3
seconds.
According to Bill Dawson, her coach, she is a "very
disciplined person," as would be expected of someone whois
involved in an individual sport like swimming. It is a sport,
much in the same vein as track, which not only is individual, as
is wrestling, bul the only person there really to "beat in a race,
is yourself "I always feel the best after a race when 1 have just
finished with a new best time for myself It's nice to finish
first, but because of what your competition might be for a
racei it might not mean all that much,' says Cathy
fhe individuality, though, is practice, because though
practice is held in a pool filled with other swimmers, thert
certainly is no one to talk to. This is perhaps one of the facton
which makes training for swimming so difficult. "Training a
swimmer is very tough. You have to wait for the big races to
roll around and so forth, so it is very demanding," according
to Lawson. Lawson states, though, that Cathy is a very
versatile athlete, and is able to adapt to the differing situalioni
presented. This is probably best bom out, in that Cathy came
to Lafayette as a sprinter, specializing in the 50 yard event. In
high school, she qualified for the state championships in her
sophomore, junior and senior years in the 50. Upon arriringat
Lafayette, however, she began to try events of substantially
longer distances, like the 500. "You could place her in almost
any event, expect a specific performance, and get it from het.
She is a very steady performer for us," adds Lawson.
Even after all these years of training, which has caused
many to lose interest, Cathy retains her enthusiasm for the
sport. "I thoughtabout trying out for other sports, bul 1 always
liked svrimming the best," she says. She adds, though, that
every so often, you need to change your events, thus her
vrillingness to convert from a sprinter to a longer distance
svrimmer and perhaps a reversal in the future. "It's fun
learning a new event,' in addition to the change of pace.
Lawson says that, in the past, Lafayette "has been very
fortunate in terms of the women who came to the school to
swim. They have been outstanding swimmers as well as people,
and Cathy certainly falls into that category."
With her present success, and being only half way through,
there is no doubt that Cathy will leave Laiayette having made
her mark.
J
Ruggers Open Season
T o m o r r o w the Lafayette
Rugby club opens up its spring
schedule with a home match
against Seton Hall University.
TTie Leopard ruggers are coming
off a successful 7-3 fall outing,
which included a third place
finish
in
the
Eastern
Pennsylvania Rugby Union
toumament held at Princeton.
Lafayette finished behind
powerhouses Lehigh and the
hometown Tigers. 'The Leopards
actually outplayed Princeton for
most of their tournament match,
and it was because of last minute
Lafayette penalties that the
Tigers won.
The club is looking forward
to another winning effort in
1981. Many more athletes hi«e
come out for the club than last
autumn, and forwards captain
Doug Oberkircher feels this it
cruc&l for a strong showing.
"There's going to be a lot of
fighting for positions," said
Oberkircher,
and that will
make everyone play better." As
it stands now, the team hat
enough backs for three teami,
and enough forwards for an "A"
and " B " team. The backs are led
by their captain, senior Jason
Honeyman. Qub President Roy
Ulin also expressed optimism for
Lafayette Rugby this spring.
"We have potential to be oneof.
the best teams around," he said.

Hockey Team Ends Regular Season
With T i e ; Gears For Playoffs
by John J. Kelly
Thi' Lafayette hockey club
ended the regular season last
week playing three games. The
team's overall record ended al
10-3-3, good enough for second
place in the league and a playoff
spot. The skaters have every
intention of winning the trophy
for a third time in the playoffs
next week.
The Icemen ended up in a 5-5
tie with playoff bound Temple
Tuesday. It was an uneven
performance by the Leopards.
Starting off well the skaters took
the initiative and scored inside
two minutes through Steve
Smetana. M o m e n t u m
then
switched to Temple who scored
three limes on close in shots
before Steve Smetana scored a
power play goal to reduce the
deficit to one goal.
The s e c o n d period was
characterized by the hesitancy
of the skaters, under pressure for
much of the time. Goalie Joe
Hartmann had 16 saves in this
period in a fine performance.
Mike Miller's goal tied up the
score unlil two quick Temple
goals restored their lead at the
end of the period. The third
period saw the Pards recover
their initiative, scoring two goals
through Bill Johnston and Bob
McKeown lo lie the score with
five minutes to go. Skating well
the Leopards sought a winning
goal but Temple held firm so the
game finished deadlocked.
Monday nighl Lafayette
travelled to Willow Grove to
Uke on Penn SUte-Ogontz. The
Pards were dominant for much
of the game, ending up 8-3
winners wilh Steve Smetana
enhancing a scoring streak wilh
five goals, two of them
shorthanded. In fact Lafayette's
firsl two goals, in the firsl
period, were bolh shorthanded.
The first came from Smetana
while Mike Miller fired in the
other. Penn State pulled one
back before the end of the
period.
In the second period Penn
State scored the first two goals
before Steve Smetana equalized.
though the Penn Stat<' goalie had
t h w a r t e d several promising
I.afayetle
a t t a c k s . P'ive
unanswered goals in the third
period ensured an easy win in
the end. Steve Smetana scored a
hat-trick in this period, one on a
power play and the other a
shorthanded goal lo cap an
impressive performance. Bill
Johnston and Bill Whipple were
the other scorers in the period,
while Hartmann in goal kept a
clean sheet.
This week's hockey started
Saturday nighl as the skaters
travelled to Upper Merion lo
lake on Sl. Joes. A very subdued
performance in the first two
p«'riods was penalized as Sl. Joes
look a three-nil lead, getting off
many close in shots.
T h e Pards perked
up
somewhat in the third period
scoring twice through Steve
Smetana as he started his scoring
streak. St. Joes scored after each
Lafayette goal however, to end
5-2 winners, a scoreline that
could have been worse but for
Joe Hartmann in goal.
Indoor Track Drops Final Meet
Of Season To Engineers
76-60
by 1. M. Madison
"Sure we were the underdogs.
After falling behind in the field
events, every track race became
a must-win situation. And the
boys responded; they came back
and gave Lehigh one heck of a
scare." That's how an emotional
Coach Bill Donahue assessed the
Lafayette effort against Lehigh,
last Friday night. Though the
final score read
Lehigh
76-Lafayette 60, it was much
closer than the tally indicates.
The highlights of the night
had to be the §80 and 1000 yard
runs. With these two events at
the very end of the schedule,
Lehigh needed a first place in
one event to insure victory. In
the 880, they entered their
senior captain, Mike Murray. A
4:16 miler indoors, Murray
seemed a sure bet to beat
Lafayetie's Dave Strong, who
had been ill all week. But, from
the gun. Strong went for the
lead and set the pace. On the
bell lap, Murray made his move,
but Strong held him off until the
straightaway. There, Murray
came alongside Strong and they
ran, chest to chest, to finish, but
Strong's lunge captured first
place, though both were timed
at 1:59 fiat.
This shifted attention to the
1000. It was a matchup between
Lehigh's Dave Hines and
Lafayette's Bill McCartan and
Steve Bush. For three laps the
trio ran together, then Hines
made a break with a quarter to
go. McCartan and Bush gave
chase, but came up just short.
Though their 2:19 efforts were
season bests, they weren't
enough to prevent Lehigh from
clinching the victory.
Lehigh handled the Leopards
rather easily in the field events,
outscoring them 44-9. Only Ted
Bell (first in the vault), Gary
Yogan (second in the shol), and
Eoin Walshe (third in the
weight) could break through.
This put the pressure on the
Leopard runners.
Respond lo pressure, they
did. Season besl 7.7 times
carried Al Cognigni and Eric
Bilhuber to a 1-2 finish in the 60
hurdles. In the dash, Joe Fischer
and Cognigni went 1-3. That
combination, ten minutes later,
went 1-2 in the 440. John

With the meet decided, the
final event, the mile relay, was
simply a matter of pride.
Wilhoul the usual quartet, the
Pards were 20 yards behind after
two legs. Cognigni got the baton
as Lehigh fans cheered the
apparently imminent rictory.
Bul his 50.4 leg, a personal t)est,
brought the Pards back to within
10 yards of the Engineers.
Fischer then cranked out a 50.1
anchor, passing Lehigh down the
stretch, and restoring Lafayette's
pride.
On Sunday, al the Delaware

In a key KCt" i'la.sh which could
decide the winner of the Wi'stem
Division and first .seed in the
KCC pla\<)ffs ni'Xt wei'k
by Charlie Kakareka
How many Lafayeite basketball fans remember the date
February 29, 1980? It was on that immortal Saturday a year
ago that one of the most emotional showdowns of the past
five years took place in the Western Division of the East Coast
Conference. Bucknell, a team 19-5 overall and 13-2 in the
conference travelled from a small rural town named Lewisburg
lo a place called Easlon to place its firsl half lead on the line in
the last regular season matchup. Their opponent, was
Lafayette, 19-6 overall and 12-3 in the ECC.
The Leopards were a team who felt they were cheated in
the first meeting between the clubs when the referees took the
game away from Lafayette with a cheap last second foul call in
a 55-54 losing cause. In front of more than 4000 fans, in Kirby
Field House, senior Bob Falconiero tumed in a brilliant
performance pouring in 30 points and leading the Leopards to
a key 92-79 victory. The win gave Lafayette a share of first
place, but more importantly, a first seed in the forthcoming
playoffs.
Now it's a year later. The date will be February 28, 1981,
tomorrow. A new Leopard basketball team which has had its
ups and do-wns, its injuries, its criticisms, and its successes,
packs its bags and travels from the small urban town of Easton
and invades the hills of Northeastern Pennsylvania in another
crucial showdown at Bucknell's home court, named "the Pit,"
by its partisans.
Lafayette enters tomorrow's game 7-8 in the ECC, tied with
Rider for first place. Meanwhile, the Bisons have a 6-9 ECC
record and are tied with Lehigh. Is there any possible way of
predicting an outcome of tomorrow's game? Apparently not.
Nothing has been predictable in the ECC as of late.
Take for example. Rider. A week ago, both Lafayette and
Bucknell trailed the Broncos by one game and Lehigh trailed
by two. On Saturday, Lafayette beat West Chester State
convincingly, and Bucknell upset Rider for the second time
this year. This threw the Westem Division into a three way tie.
Thus, one would ask, "^Who has the edge going into the last
week?" Bucknell? Why? Because they finish at home. Wrong!
On Wednesday night, Lehigh travelled to Bucknell and pulled
out a one point victory, 63-62. Meanwhile, Rider had
enormous difficulty at home against West Chester State, but
managed to win by six. Meanwhile, Lafayette just escaped
with a one point victory againsi a team 2-12. What playwright
could have written a better script?
Four teams going into the last game of the season and none
of them is assured of a conference title or a first or second
seed for the upcoming ECC playoffs next week. Let's examine
what might happen tomorrow and try to straighten out some
questions.
First, what happens if Lafayette defeats Bucknell and Rider
defeats Lehigh in Bethlehem? Then both Lafayette and Rider
would end with identical 8-8 records. Who wins the first seed?
The ECC committee would then decide the outcome. Our
guess: Lafayette — only tjecause the Leopards would have a
net eight point advantage over the Broncos. However, if
Lafayette loses and Rider wins, then the Broncos win first
seed. If Lafayette wins and Rider loses, then the Leopards are
the champions of the West and gain first seed and a bye in the
first round of the playoffs.
In order to avoid getting to the point of being ridiculous
wilh the various outcomes and first four seedings, let's take a
look at one more possible outcome. What if Lafayette loses to
Bucknell and Lehigh defeats Rider? Then all four teams would
have a 7-9 ECC record. Who would now be seeded first?
Bucknell gets the nocL
Whatever happens tomorrow, the ECC playoffs start on
Monday night with four opening round games. The top two
finishers in the East and West sections will have a bye in the
first round while the number six and number five teams play
at the number three and number four teams' home courts
respectively. The quarterfinals will be played next Wednesday
and the semifinals and championship finals will be played next
Friday and Saturday evenings at the Palestra.
American University has already won the Eastem Division
by defeating St. Joseph's last Tuesday night at the Palestra.
Coach Will Rackley continued to say, "We control our ovm
destiny. I'm looking forward to playing Bucknell. Itll be a
character builder. We'll be given a chance to prove ourselves."
Well, if you're confused, there are other different
combinations which might take place for the second, third,
and fourth seedings depending on the outcomes. If you're
sane, you'll wait until Sunday moming to wait and see where
everybody stands and just enjoy a good weekend of basketball
al its best. But let's remember two important facts. Rider will
have to travel to Lehigh and Lafayette travels to Bucknell.
Game time is 8:00 at Lewisburg. See you next week with
the outcomes of this wild and unpredictable basketball season.

Countless
numbers
of
basketball games which have
come down to the fined seconds
in Leopard hislop, have involved
crucial free throw shooting.
In 1977, Phil Ness connected
on two free throws wilh one
second left to help Lafayette eek
out a one point victorv over
Delaware. A year later when Bob
Spadafora hil two free throws
with no lime left against the
Blue Hens to give the Leopards
another heart-throbbing victory.
On Wednesday night, junior
guard Dana Mead joined the
likes of Spadafora and Ness in
the "Delaware Last Second Free
Throw Shooter Killers Club," as
he sank two crucial free throws
with four seconds on the clock
lo give Lafayelle a narrow 65-64
victory against the pesky Blue
Hens.
Mead's
last
second
dramatics boosted the Leopards
lo their second win in a row and
raised the Leopard record to 7-8
in the East Coast Conference
and 13-12 overall.
"Many people count him
short of talent, but he's certainly
nol shol of guts," said an
ecstatic Will Rackley following
the game. "Shooting lb% from
the line, 1 was confident when
he stepped to the line. 1 had a
feeling we were i n . "
Although
the
spotlight
focused on Mead down the
stretch,
seconds
earlier.
IX'laware cenler Pete Mullenberg
had the chance to bo the hero.
Afler Mead hit a foul line
jumper to give Lafayette a 63-62
lead
with
24 seconds
left,
Delaware called t i m e o u t . T h e
Blue Hens tried to get the ball to
their lop scorer. Ken Luck, who
finished
the game wilh
22
poinLs, but a stingy Leopard
defense prevented Luck from
gelling a shol off. Blue Hen
guard Tom Campbell forced a
shol with 10 seconds left, bul
the ball went nowhere near the
bucket. Mullenberg,
however,
picked up the loose r e b o u n d and
was fouled by Mike T h o m p s o n .
Lafayelle
called
a
psychological
timeout
before
Mullenberg went lo the line.
Apparently it worked as he
threw up an air ball on the front
end of a one and one. Although
the Leopards were awarded
possession, on the
inbounds
pass, Campbell tried for the steal
bul failed and then proceeded to
tackle Mead which sent him to
the line.
After the game, Blue Hen
coach Ron Rainey was asked
whether
the
timeout
had
bothered Mullenberg. He said,
"Heck no. I told Pete when he
came lo the bench just to put it
in the hoop. I said that 1 had
confidence
in him — h o w
couldn't I? He was perfect from
the me on the nigtit „ d a

Lehigh
In 77-52 Victory; Face Bisons
by William J. I'etraiuolo
T o m o r r o w , coming off a
77-52 squashing of Lehigh last
Saturday,
the
women's
basketball
leam travels
to
Bucknell lo take on the Bisons
al 1:00 followed by the men in
the evening.
Bucknell, who beat Lehigh by
a basket in overtime, does not
have the height many of the
team's o p p o n e n t s do according
lo head coach Pat Fisher. She
sited the fact, however, that
playing on the road is far more
difficult than at h o m e , Bucknell
being particularly tough. " Y o u
have to play like you are ten
points down when you are away
from h o m e , " said Fisher, bul
added t h a t the team should not
have a "big p r o b l e m " t o m o r r o w .
" A t this point I plan t o run
on them [Bucknell] as much as
possible, because I d o n ' l think
they have the bench to s u p p o r t
themselves."
Lafayette
conversely has gone to its bench
consistently this season with
much success. Performances by
Sharon Basso and Cathy Novello
have been outstanding. Basso
with a team high 25 steals and
Novello sporting a high shooting
percentage.
Lehigh
Saturday's game with the
Engineers brought
Lafayette's
record one higher to 12-4, bul
the win certainly did not come
easily.
Finding
themselves
behind 36-34 at half-time, Fisher
made some adjustments in the
locker room al half time. "It
was a matter of not executing
for the most p a r t , " said Fisher.
"There were a good n u m b e r of
things which we normally do
well that jusl weren't happening
for us, so we jusl talked a b o u l
them in hopes lhal things would
change in the second half," she
added.
Change the siluation did, as
upon reentering the court, after
an exchange of two baskets
each, the Leopards went on to
score 10 points in a row, which
all but p u t Lehigh oul of the
picture for the remainder of the
game. Lenie J o h n s o n scored
eight of the 19, as did Maureen
McKenna. Johnson added t w o
blocked shots during the effort
which accounted for some fast
break situations. "During lhal
fiurry,"
c o m m e n l e d Fisher, "1
believe only one or two t)askets
were a result of the offense we
like to run, rather they resulted
from transition situations."
"We didn'l really change
anylhing in terms of our game
plan
during
halftime,
the
difference wa.s in e x e c u t i o n , "
concluded Fisher.
Before the game ended, the
team rolled up a 25 point
margin, similar to the men's 30
point difference which dwindled
to 21 poinls by the end of their
game.
Once again il was Johnson
who lead the team in scoring
wilh
22
poinls. She
was
followed by McKenna and Kelly
O'Connor who had 17 and 16
points respectively. Johnson also
blocked six shots in the course
of the game, and a high 11
ret>ounds.
Johnson leads the leam in
points per game with 14, and has
blocked an amazingly high 63
shots throughout the season.
McKenna, Johnson and Fitzkee
are all within 14 points of each
other, and lop the leam in lolal
points scored with 212, 2 1 1 , and
198 poinls respectively.

TTie wrestling team suffered
two devastating losses this past
weekend to drop the team's
record
to 11-8. The setbacks
were
both
to East
Coast
Conference opponents and sheds
doubts on the team's chances of
winning the E.C.C. t o u r n a m e n t .
West Chester beat Lafayette
26-16 and Bucknell won 27-18.
The West Chester
match
looked bad from the sUrl. The
first three matches were won by
West Chester when Jorge Leon
beat Hank I>ibel (13-5-1) 17-6,
Anthony Stagliano decisioned
Jeff Bean (11-10) 10-6, and Jon
Moser destroyed
Rick Mohr
(13-6-2)
20-7. These
three
impressive wins for West Chester
made the score 12-0.
Tim Ostx)rn (13-3) continued
his winning ways bv defeating
Bill Moser 8-1. John Novack
scored seven poinLs in the final
period to get a major decision
over Kirk Teat (H-7) by 16-5.
Things seemed to be gelling out
of hand when .Mike .Moyer
pinned Ralph Artigliere in 3:31
lo raise the score lo 22-3.
After losing five of the first
six bouts fairiy hardly, Lafayeite
staged somewhat of a comeback.
Cliff Dorf (5-6) was down 4-2
after the first period but racked
up eight points in the third
period to win a major decision
over Chaz McDermott 13-5. At
177 Lenny Artigliere (16-5)
buill a 19-6 lead wilh eight
takedowns before pinning Neil
Alton al the 5:43 mark. The
Pards now needed nine poinls in
the remaining two matches to lie
the score.
The 190-pound bout was tied
at the end, but Bretl Peterson
(5-5) had earned a riding time
point to decision Gary Piper 8-7.
The team score stood al 22-16
which meant that Larson (10-8J
would have to pin a lough
o p p o n e n t lo tie the match.
Bruce Edwards blew a close
match open wilh seven points in
the third period lo beat Larson
13-5 and make the final leam
score 26-IB
Coach John Piper felt the
main problem with the West
Chester
match
was
that
Lafayelle
did not win the
important bouts. "There were
three toss-up matches. If we had
won one or two of them, the
match may have come down to
Larson's match. This may have
changed the unlimited bout
somewhat
because of
the
pressure involved," said Piper.
The Bucknell match was the
same thing over again. The Pards
were able to start off with a win
though as Deibel decisioned Don
Banzhof 12-6. Jeff Bean then
got hil wilh a five poinl move by
Doug Mays and had lo bridge off
his back for the entire firsl
period. Wilh the score 8-0 in the

Fedako Makes A Splash
by William J. Petmiuolo
How long does it take to become a good swimmer? A
couple of years maybe. To become a real good swimmer it
takes a few more. Cathy Fedako, a sophomore on the women's
swimming team began swimming competitively when she was
eight years old. That's a good number of years to spend,
especially when il means swimming in both the summer and
winter seasons some years, but then, success never came easily
lo anyone.
Cathy has had her share of success. Her name Ls under seven
of the Lafayette women's swimming records, and she his
completed bul two years of her college career. A freestyle
swimmer in high school, Cathy has excelled in that event for
'hf past two years. She is the record holder in the 50, 100,
200, and 500 yard freestyle events in addition to being i
member of the record holding 200 and 400 yard medley relay,
and 800 yard freestyle relay teams. Actually, five of the
records were sel last year, when Cathy was a freshman, the
other two records being broken just last weekend al the
Philadelphia Women's Swimming Championships. The record
for the 500 yard freestyle, which Cathy had broken a week
eariier bv .30 seconds, was slashed by another four. Also the
