Purse Snatcher at 33rd Subway
By Kenneth S. Blackney
O f The Triangle
A Drexel student and her sister were
robbed Sunday night in the 33rd Street
Subway-Surface station. Drexel security
apprehended two suspects who were taken
into custody by Philadelphia Police.
Jennifer Angell and her sister Pamela
were held up by four men, one carrying
a handgun, at 8 p.m. Sunday. The men
demanded the girls’ purses. The Angell
sisters surrendered their purses and pursued
the men to the surface.
Drexel security guards heard screams and
began to chase the men. The men dropped
Jennifer’s purse during the chase. Two men
were caught, including the armed suspect.
Pamela’s purse and the other men were
lost.
Philadelphia Police arrested the two men
on charges of robbery, theft, receiving
stolen property, possessing an offensive
weapon and conspiracy. No further details
were available from the police because the
suspects are minors.
Gary Tennis, Chief of Legislation for the
Philadelphia District Attorney, said that the
suspects would be tried in Family Court.
However, if they have long records the
D.A. might “ move to certify them as
adults,” according to Tennis. The charges
carry sentences of 10 to 20 years with a
minimum of five years without probation
for the use of a handgun while conmiitting
the crime.
In related news another student reported
to security that a conservatively dressed
man tried to attack her in the 33rd Street
station last Thursday. He asked her to light
his cigarette and tried to knock her to the
ground when she sat down. She kicked him
and burnt him with her cigarette then ran
from the station.
Dean Michael Adams of the Nesbitt Col­
lege of Design Arts said that other incidents
have been reported in the 33rd Street sta­
tion. “ We are in an urban environment. We
should never travel alone at night,” said
Adams. Adams is preparing a memo for
posting in Nesbitt Hall to avoid use of the
station in favor of the 30th Street stop. He
also said that Drexel security and Septa
Police are aware of the ongoing problem.
Dr. Carl Sagan to Address
DrexeFs Fail Convocation
By Michael J . Coyne
O f The Triangle
The national office of the Pi Kappa Phi
has developed an eye-catching way to bring
to the attention of their members the serious
nature of the subject of sexual abuse. For
those who missed seeing the centerfold in
last week’s edition of The Triangle^ this
provocative gesture is in the form of a
poster that will be distributed to all chapters
of Pi Kappa Phi and other fraternity
chapters accross the country.
TTie poster’s theme, “ Today’s Greeks
Call It Date Rape,” was ftieled by the
Fraternity’s response to the growing
awareness of the trend of sexual abuse cases
on college campuses. “ We focused on tlie
problem of date rape because it is a pro­
blem which needs greater awareness among
both males and females,” says Durward W.
Owen, Executive Director of Pi Kappa Phi
Fraternity.
Concluding with the subtitle, “ Just a
reminder from Pi Kappa Phi, Against her
will is against the law ,” the poster, accor­
ding to Owen, will be widely received
because of its subtle yet direct approach.
The artwork used in the poster is a detail
firom the print “ The Rape of the Sabienne
Women.”
The poster was first presented to the
brothers of Pi Kappa Phi at their leader­

and the host of
Public Television’s
popular Cosmos
special, will be
given an honorary
degree on the occa­
sion of his visit.
Dr. Sagan was
responsible for the Voyager interstellar
record, a message about ourselves sent
to other civilizations in space.
Sagan is well known for his ability to
explain complex scientific concepts is
layman’s terms. He is the David Dun­
can Professor of
A stronom y and
Space Sciences and
D irector of the
L aboratory for
Planetary Studies
at Cornell Univer­
sity.

Nine new majors were approved by the
University Curriculum Committee this
week. The new programs do not become
official until approved by the Board of
Trustees.
The Nesbitt College of Design Arts will
offer a new major in Publications Manage­
ment for both undergraduates and
graduates.
The College of Humanities and Social
Sciences will be splitting up its present
H um anities-C om m unications
and
Psychology-Sociology-Anthropology
ma­
a.m. All Uni­
jors. Those students considering themselves
Psychology or Sociology majors will now
officially be part of separate programs.
Three new programs each will be offered
in Humanities and Communications. The
proposed H um anities m ajors are:
Literature; Applied Philosophy; and
Science, Technology, and Humanities.
New Communications possiblities will be:
Technical and Science Communication;
Corporate Communication; and Film and
Video Production.
The new programs come from a Future
D irections Com m ittee w ithin the
Humanities College. Each major will be
directed by a facuty member with exper­
tise in the field. The new majors will
necessitate a number of new departmental
courses.

Kibbe helped them capture the presidents
by asking them to attend a presidents’
meeting. But, to their suprise, the only
order of business was a Iddnapping.
Ransom notes were d eliver^ to the
respective fraternities and sororities. They
were given clues, which would lead them
to the location of (heir presidents. As the
Greeks went searching the campus, the
hostages got tq know each other b^ter. The

Special to The Triangle
Stand By Me, the new film by director
Rob Reiner (“ Meathead” from All in the
Family), is the best movie released this
year. Yes, better than The Fly, Aliens, the
wonderful fantasy Labyrinth, Mona Lisa,
and even A Room with a View.
Though this movie is based on a Stephen
King novela. The Body, it is the complete
(^)posite of a horror movie. The film opens
with narrator Richard Dreyfuss, who pro­
vides good comic relief throughout the
movie as well as a moving ending, pulled
off to the side of the road and reading a b ^ t
the death of his friend. He then starts to
reflect back to when he was 12 years old
and the first time he and his three friends
saw a dead body.
Then we flashback to the summer of
1959 in the beautiful Oregon countryside
where we follow the four of them on their
journey. Vem Tessio overhears his older
brother talking about the corpse and where
it is located, and now he and his three
friends decide to fmd the body before his
brother and his friends do and become
heroes.
That’s the plot, but that is not what the
movie is about. There is much more. The
movie is really about four 12-year-olds
growing up, and their special comradery
is what makes the viewer want to see more
and learn more about them. Wil Wheaton
plays the younger Richard Dreyfuss who
is encouraged by his friends to become a
writer and not to worry about his father’s
obsession with his older brother (played by
John Cuzak), a high school fo o tb ^ star
who was killed in a car accident.
We learn much about three of the four
of them as they each seek comfort in one
another concerning family problems. The
fourth one, Vem, is strangely left out..
Reiner made his directing debut with This
Is Spinal Tap and continued to keep our
s id ^ p lit with The Sure Thing. Now comes
Stand By Me, which is guaranteed to be the
sleeper of the year. Reiner’s direction is
in tune with the actions and thoughts of
these kids and it makes this a wonderful
movie to watch.
For fans of such movies as Diner and
Breaking Away, this movie is a must see.
Stand By Me is not only in the same vein
but it is also at the same level of cinematic
excellence, just with younger guys. A
movie like this doesn’t come along very
often.

1985-86. Looking back, I feel good know­
ing that the quality of the paper has steadi­
ly increased since our first issue on
November 8th. Without damaging The
Triangle's ability to speak for itself, I feel
I must inform you, the reader, of a few
things.
On a good note, two weeks ago every
paper was gone from the stands by the end
of the week. Each week we distribute over
5,500 copies on campus. Unless a group of
students have started to paper train their
puppies, I have to assume that a large
number of people actually read The
Triangle.
Good Riddance
Labor Day Weekend is upon us. The holiday signals the beginning of school for most
students, but here at Drexel our summer term is ending as students prepare for almost
a whole month of R&R. This is the last Triangle for the school year 85-86. Many of
the staff members will be around during the break celebrating, not having to worry about
the paper. We thought that maybe we should remind students that there are events going
on around campus during breaic. Although the library hours are abbreviated, the oppor­
tunity to catch up on recreational reading is there. Cavanaugh’s will be having a full
schedule through the month of September. As a favorite friend of The Triangle says,
“ If time is a waste of life, and life is a waste of time, then let’s all get wasted and have
the time of our life!”
Quite an unprofessional attitude for a n e w s p ^ r to have? Well try to imagine the number
of hours that go in to producing The Triangle or the time it takes SPA to ready the cam­
pus for a Carlin type concert. At the end of a season, most students are fed up. How
better to rid the spirit of unwanted memories than to have a term break? What we’re
hoping is that the majority of the students will have such a good time during the break
that they will return with great attitudes and become even more involved with Drexel.
Remember that classes are merely part of the total education which you receive. The
Triangle'^ only other motto is “ We never let our classes interfere with our college
education!.”

A Modest Proposal
University President William S. Gaither
has been the subject of much abuse on these
pages in the past few weeks. Michael Har­
rison and the “ Honorable man” writer have
attacked Gaither with a zest not often seen
in Drexel students, Harrison on three
occasions.
Since last week’s paper I have been ask­
ed why I haven’t run pro-Gaither letters.
The answer is simple: there haven’t been
any. The closest I have seen is Russ
Pfeifer’s letter last week that condemned the
anti-Gaither letters without really suppor­
ting the President. People seem to enjoy
disliking Gaither and telling everyone about
it.
Gaither’s biggest popularity problem may
well be the tires remark. He was foolish to
say it, and he probably knows it. However,
it is essentially true if you know the con­
text in which the remark was made. I won’t
contest that he never should have said it;
the public doesn’t always want the truth.
At some point, though, the student body is
going to have to decide if they want him
to be frank or popular because the former
will often upset people who will see it as
a n d
S tu d e n t?
Michael J. Coyne
Another reason for the increase in tuition
is the decrease in enrollment. Five to seven
years ago, when high- powered coUeges
started spending more in their recruitment
programs, Drexel lagged behind. The
resulting decline is now stabilizing due to
a large advertising and recruitment plan that
has been implemented over the past two
years, not a posthumous project by Dr.
Hagerty.
The summer has been a slow period at
the University for as long as their has been
co-op. If you happened to glance through
30 year old Triangles, you would find the
same complaints about summer hours and
courses.
I attended all four graduation ceremonies.
How many of you complainers were there?
Hundreds of people felt that the ceremonies
were dignified and an improvement over
past years. The Triangle and other Univer­
sity administrators received approximate­
ly five letters coiiq)laining about graduation.
Is there anything good happening? Sure.
Carl Sagan is coming to s p ^ at the con­
vocation. Nearly a dozen new majors and
many more minors will be offered this fall.
Construction of both the dorm and the
cafeteria is on schedule. Plans will soon be
announced for the hotel developer, and
selection is almost finished for the supplier
of the University’s new computer network.
The architect is readying plans for the new
engineering building as University Relations
finishes up their fundraising effort.
There are many people trying to improve
Drexel, most certainly including Dr.
Gaither. If you want to get involved, try ap­
proaching the task with an open mind. If
you decide to complain, how about presen­
ting a decent argument? I ’m sick and tired
of reading letters from idiots posing as
Drexel students.
No, the members of The Triangle staff
don’t hate Drexel. It is amazing to see the
amount of recruitment that goes on in the
office. In many cases, someone interested
in coming to Drexel either calls or stops by
the newspaper to get more information.
Over 30 times I have been witness to dif­
ferent staff members talking with prospec­
tive students about why they should enroll
at Drexel.
Then why are there negative articles in
The Trianglel As a newspaper, we have a
responsibility to print both good and bad.
If we print an article about something wrong
at the University, then maybe we’ll alert the
right people, and the problen will be solved.
Unfortunately, it seems that some
students who avail themselves of the “ Let­
ters to the Editor” section are long on
mouth and short of brains. Certain seniors
like to complain about “ the lack of social
life,” but they didn’t grunt when the Dean
of Students limited weeknight parties in the
fall of 1982. (That was almost two years
before Dr. Gaither arrived.)
Why was there a large tuition increase?
One reason was the unexpected debt that
appeared at the end of fiscal 84-85. Who Michael Coyne is the Editor-in-ChiefofThe
was the president for the first 10 months Triangle. Coyne Operated appears on alter­
of that fiscal year?It wasn’t Gaither. nate Fridays in The Triangle.
L e tte r s
Kenneth S. Blackney us the truth.
cold and unfeeling.
Students have also claimed that President
Gaither is against the students and especially
the fraternities. Some have specifically men­
tioned the Fraternity Walk story (see “ NonGreek Expresses Support For Frater­
nities, ” 77i^ Triangle, August 8, 1986, page
S). Gaither probably knew nothing about
the Fraternity Walk story. He can’t know
everything that is going on in every depart­
ment. Students should be placing blame on
those most closely associated with the
matter.
There have been times when Triangle
staff members have complained to me about
administrative run-arounds when resear­
ching a story. Gaither has always stood
behind us and been forthright with infor­
mation. When The Triangle started a story
on enrollment, we were unable to obtain
addmissions data for the past five years.
This data was necessary for the article.
After three weeks of delay we set up an ap­
pointment with Gaither. He told us every­
thing we wanted to know. He also answered
some tough questions. The answers didn’t
make Drexel or him look good, but he told
Gaither has also outlined a set of Univer­
sity goals for the next ten years and made
plans to realize them. Can any of you
remember when we had such long term
direction? Probably few of you have read
the University’s Long Range Plan which in
September of 1985 stated that 1986, 1987,
and 1988 “ will be unusually difficult years
for several reasons.” I wonder now why
so many students are surprised at the bleak
outlook for enrollment when projections
were in the Plan for the next ten years.
Gaither has seen to fairly large faculty
salary increases this year, almost matching
those in private industry. Such expenditures
are needed if Drexel is to slow the exodus
of better professors from academia. To hold
back now would save money and make
Gaither look good, but would hurt the
University in the future should we lose our
best instructors. Do you want him to try to
remain popular or work for the gotxi of the
University?
much of what is written is complete gar­
bage. The least you can do when making
a complaint is get your facts straight (no
need to make an ass of yourself in front of
the entire University). Information is avail­
able in the Long Range Plan which can be
obtained in the President’s Office in the
Main Building, and it’s free. Try to think
before writing to the Editor. Nothing can
dilute your complaint more than discrediting
yourself with erroneous information.
For those of you who actually like
something at Drexel or at least feel pity for
Gaither, WRITE. Don’t just sit there and
say, “ What a shame. He isn’t that bad.”
Send a letter of support. God knows he
needs it. But take the advice above before
you write and get your facts right.
Okay, this is the last issue for this term.
You have almost a month to think of things
you want to write for the freshman issue
due out September 26. Get your letters in
by the twentieth.

I read with interest Mr. Harrison’s let­
ter requesting questions for Dr. Gaither,
and am only too happy to respond.
Dr. Gaither, why when you state that the
finances of this college are in such dire
shape do you allow the incredible waste that
has taken place in the publishing of these
so-called schedule books? I am referring
to the 8V^ by 11 inch manual that will be
mailed four times a year, at a cost of over
$2.00 a mailing, instead of the older, once
a year, compacted schedule? What are you
going to do to stop this practice?
Dr. Gaither, why do you state that even
though several members of the Drexel
board of trustees held top positions at Mar­
tin Marietta, and in light of the company’s
past history of doing business, there was
no conflict of interest? Why is Drexel not
pursuing legal steps to recover our losses?
Is it perhaps because it is OUR money that
you are wasting that this is not being done??
We are not idiots, Dr. Gaither, and it does
not take a law or business degree to smell
a rat here. We do NOT like paying our bills
and Martin Marietta’s, too.
U
Just the other day we were wondering
why so itiany Drexel buildings are covered
wiA orange bricks. Well, it seems that
almost all of these buildings were built in
the sixties and seventies during the tenure
of President William Hagerty (We seem to
have a liking for Williams in charge). Think
of it. Our own William of Orange.

As many Drexel students know, the new
Drexel dorm. The Towers, has been under
construction for a little over a year. I, along
with many of my fellow female students,
are especially aware of this fact. It seems
the construction workers of the new dorm
find great pleasure in whistling and
shouting rude remarks to the young ladies
who pass by. I for one, do not enjoy being
treated like an animal. Based on the fence
that encloses them and their inhuman
behavior, it should be clear who the real
animals are. The best way to deal with these
demoralizing attacks is, of course, to ig­
nore them and say that construction
workers will be construction workers.
D o lla r s
G o n e ?
Dr. Gaither, how exactly are you spen­
ding our money? The quality of the facul­
ty is not 19% better, the facilities are not
19% better, and the services the school of­
fers are CERTAINLY not 19% better.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU DOING?
Sir, I am a Senior Evening College stu­
dent. I am only going to be here until the
spring, at which time my association with
Drexel will come to a complete end.
The students EARN what they get. Drex­
el students are, for the most part, NOT im­
mature, stupid children who need to have
their $250.00 tires taken away to pay for
the privilege of studying long, hard hours.
The majority of students are hard-workjng,
responsible, intelligent human beings. The
sooner you realize this, and take steps to
force your administration to realize this, the
fewer students you will lose. In closing,
please ask the Alumni Association to save
their dimes (oops, quarters..) when it
comes to calling me for a contribution to
the school. My response will be, “ Call
Martin Marietta for my contribution. They
already have it.”

I don’t feel that making excuses for them
is my responsibility. Although I know that
anything I do will have no effect on the
situation, I hope that the management of
J.J. White realizes that the reputation of
their company reflects the public’s lack of
respect for their employees. This realiza­
tion just might inspire the management to
encourag a more professional attitude in
their employees.
To these same employees I have dedi­
cated this sign. To those who have the
misfortune of passing within the sights of
these men, let it be known that you pass
at your own risk.

Shark Infested Lobby
Editor:
Complaints about Drexel’s lack of social
life seem to be running rampant this sum­
mer. You know, I find it incredibly hard
to believe that anyone can actually claim
that Drexel University has no social life.
Perhaps I misunderstand the definition of
“ social life.” Let me run through &few of
the activities offered to the Drexel student
last year which I feel must certainly fall
somewhere under that title of social event.
•Numerous SPA events
•Sports such as basketball, softball,
volleyball, soccer, field hockey, swim and
rowing teams among others
•Fraternity and Sorority activities
•A wide range of student organizations
•Art exhibits
•E>epartmental activities
•A FULL schedule of theater, dance, and
music concerts in Mandell Theater as well
as several lecture events and conferences.
This list is certainly not complete. I don’t
have the space to list all of the many ac­
tivities available to students at Drexel
University. And to those children who de­
mand to be entertained, all 1 can say is,
open your eyes and participate instead of
complaining about it!

Editor:
It was an interesting dilemma which oc­
curred outside of the Mandell Theater this
week. Due to the evergoing construction,
the lobby was closed off for the safety of
faculty, staff and students.
A sign was put on the doors at each side
of the lobby, stating that entrance was pro­
hibited due to the construction taking place.
Also, the doors were chained ofT making
it physically a problem to attempt entering
the space. Herein lies the dilemma: Why
would the majority of the people not take
heed of the sign?
It makes no sense to me that when so­
meone takes the time to look out for the
safety of others, it is looked upon as an in­
convenience by those who are affected.
Maybe use of more appropriate signals
would help alleviate the cUlenuna. Possibly
a bright r ^ flashing beacon, or a warning
bell sounding every time someone comes
near. How about imaginative placards such
as:
Danger: Shark infested lobby.
Surgeon General’s Warning: Entering
this lobby may be dangerous to your health:
Warning: Watch out for falling construc­
tion crew.
I don’t know if this letter is going to do
any good. I can’t erase a lifetime of ig­
norance. But it’s just like my mother said,
“ No one is going to take care of you, if
you don’t take care of yourself.” *

Farrah Fawcett Strikes Back
at a Rapist in Extremeties
by Michael Pavese
Triangle Staff Writer
When a successful stage play is adapted
to film, many times the film loses
something. To convert a three dimensional
medium, such as theatre, into two dimen­
sions, such as film, a director must know
just how to take his actors and script off
the stage and into life. Anyone can see,
after viewing the film, that Eternities must
have been a hard-hitting, deeply emotional
play. The film, on the other hand, lacks
something. The third dimension, the
dimension of life, and the feeling that this
event is really happening in front of the
viewer. Sadly, in the end, the audience has
to ask itself, “ Why?”
Maijorie, i^yed by Farrah F aw c^, sans
makeup, hairstyle, and the giddiness of the
angel we knew and loved, is almost raped
by a scum named Joe Rossio. Luckily, she
gets away, and runs to the police. “ He was
wearing a mask. He has my wallet. He
knows where I live,” she cries. The police
can’t do anything for her.
A week later, after her roonmiates leave
for work, he comes back to “ get her.”
After 45 minutes of brutal physical, ver­
bal, and mental abuse, Maijorie gets the
upper hand on her rapist, with a little help
from a bottle of insecticide at arm’s reach.
She then ties up the slime, and proceeds
to try and “ make him disappear.”
Her roommates (you know, tfie ones with
compassion) come home, and the battle is
on! Maijorie is now pitted against her
roonmiates and a lying piece of filth who
will say anything to get these women at
odds with each other and set him free.
Joe Rossio, who originated the role of
the rapist off-Broadway, is every bit as
disgusting and evil as he can possibly be.
I felt no compassion, even at the end, for
this sick character. Alfred Woodward and
Dianna Scirwid, two accomplished ac­
tresses, play Fawcett’s roonmiates. They,
too, are both excellent.
William Mastrome did a commendable
job bringing his play to the screen. The
cinematography at times is very erratic.
Throughout most of the movie the audience
is watching the events through any one of
the characters’ eyes. You are the r^ ist; you
are Maijorie. It is also very gritty and
grainy, with many strange close-ups, much
like a poor TV movie. The only times the
film is clear is when the camera is on
Fawcett.
In conclusion, the best thing about this
movie is the acting, especially Fawcett! She
is taken from the victim of rape to the
assailant. The assailant is taken from rapist
to victim. But, in the end, it is the audience
who is the real victim.

If y ’all like burgers, tacos, and
margaritas, you should check out Chili’s,
the newest restaurant and bar in Universi­
ty City. Although work is still continuing
on the outside of the building, the interior
is completed and open for business. I at­
tended their Grand Opening on Tuesday
afternoon. We were treated to some ex­
cellent Tex-Mex food in a casual at­
mosphere. The waiters were still in train­
ing, and were being hustled around by
trainers complete with Southern drawls.
Chili's is part of a national chain based
in Texas. It is located at 38th and Chestnut
Streets, the former site of Kress Express,
right next to Abner’s and the Chestnut
Cabaret. Extensive renovation has taken
place there during the last month. The
restaurant is now overflowing with in­
teresting knick-knacks, photos depicting
chili cookoffs, and enough cacti to make
the diner think he is lost in the desert.
For opening day, the food offerings were
somewhat limited, but I got a chance to
peruse the regular menu. Appetizers in­
clude Buffalo wings, fries, and supernachos, which is a plate of tortilla chips
with guacamole, lettuce, tomato, jalepeno,

and cheese large enough for three or four
people. Chili’s forte is hamburgers, which
are definitely Texas-sized — one half
pound of beef! Over a dozen different
burgers are available, including the Bleu
cheese Bacon Burger, the Verde Burger,
Chili Burger, and Terlingua Pride. They
also know how to make a great chicken
sandwich, which was my order.
Chili’s also offers “ the honest taco,”
ribs, salads, and of coui;se, chili. I didn’t
get a chance to try the chili. None of the
items I sampled were unbearably spicy.
Don’t order cheese fries and expect the
Philly version; Texan cheese fries are moz­
zarella strips. A bar is placed on one side
of the restaurant, specializing in chilled
margaritas and a variety o f beers, including
the Texan and Mexican brews Lone Star
and Dos Equis.
One of the friends who dined with me
comes from Mexico, and he thought the
food was reasonably authentic. The service
wasn’t quite up to par, but it was the first
day on the job for most o f the staff. Many
of the waiters, waitresses, and customers
were Drexel students. It looks like this
place has definite collegiate hangout poten­
tial. So, after a gmeling statistics, physics,
or accounting exam next week, reward
yourself with a meal at Chili’s.
