A graduate student in civil
engineering needs to raise
$5,000 to join in a cycling
trek from Seattle, Wash, to
Atlantic City to benefit the
American Lung Association.
Will he be able to raise the
money or will his dream go
up in smoke? See page 3.

The se e m in g ly am orphous
search for a statement defining
Drexel’s mission as an institution
entered a new phase Wednesday
with the second retreat this year
by faculty and administrators to
the Sugarloaf Conference Center
D e fin in g
in Chestnut Hill.
“We w e n t through a r e fin e ­
m e n t p r o c e s s on the m i s s io n
s t a t e m e n t , ” sa id U n i v e r s i t y
President Richard Breslin. The
19 -m e m b e r com m ittee brought
back tw o drafts o f a statement,
the first identical to the original
draft written by the com m ittee
d u r in g its fir s t v e n tu r e to
D r e x e l ’s f u n c t i o n
Sugarloaf in late February.
T h e s e c o n d draft d if f e r s
slightly from the first in that it is
m ore s p e c i f ic c o n c e r n in g the
kinds o f education available at
D r e x e l and con ta in s a greater
e m p h a s i s on a c tio n by the
University rather than defining
the campus environment.
For example, in the first draft.

Everyone has heard the sto­

the same sentence makes specif­

Both drafts e m p h a size “foster[ingl an enriching and caring

Both d rafts a ls o state that
Drexel is the nation’s “ premier
c o -op erative technological uni­
versity,” a d esignation that has
stirred debate in the past over the
precise definition o f “technologi­

more pragmatic than aesthetic,
however.

The four-day week officially begins at Commu­
nity College of Philadelphia this May and lasts
through each of our summer sessions. That
means you can go to school Monday through
Thursday and still have three-day weekends
free to work or pursue some happiness.
Further incentive to study at CCP comes
from the City and the State. If you’re a
Philadelphia resident, 2/3rds of your tuition
is already paid by them. That works out to
$52 per credit hour ($55 for Summer II)
and applies whether you attend full time or
part time, days or evenings.
Choose from hundreds of course offerings
at any of three convenient locations. You’ll be
following in the footsteps of more than a quar­
ter million Philadelphians who have taken
advantage of CCP’s unique educational oppor­
tunities. And you’ll be making some history of
your own. Call (215) 751-8010 to register or

“Intimacy Without S e x ” w ork­
shop Wednesday in the Creese
Student Center, feelings o f sexu­
al unfulfillm ent may be due to
lack o f intimacy and loss o f self­
esteem. C ollege students often
use their sexuality to boost their
e g o through dating and sexual
relations with the opposite sex
(or their own).
“What is sex?” you may ask.
Though the definition can vary
fo r e a c h in d iv id u a l p e r s o n ,
accord in g to P ulley sex is the
“spiritual expression o f a physi­
cal experience.”
Instead o f being used primari­
ly for physical gratification after
a deep bonding, sex should lead
to a deeper understanding that is
built on a strong relationship, she
said.
Well then. “Why have sex ? ”

responses from students at the
session. Sex is for "enjoyment",
said one student, "To show their
love for someone," said another,
and "for pleasure," added a third
student. One student noted that
sex is often used as a quick way
o f a c h i e v i n g in t im a c y w ith
another person.
By now you may wonder what
this has to d o w ith “ in tim acy
without sex?” In order to under­
stand the need for intimacy with­
out sex, Pulley said it is n e ces­
sary for an individual to evaluate
his ow n understanding o f sex ,
and the goal he is seeking in a
relationship.
A major part o f reaching inti­
macy, is the possession o f se lf­
e s t e e m . In order to gain s e l f ­
e s t e e m , w e m u st c o n s t a n t l y
ex p er ie n c e things w hich boost
confidence. S o cie ty ’s concept o f
sexuality can lead people to seek
e m o t io n a l s e l f - e s t e e m in the
p h y s i c a l act o f h a v in g s e x ,
acco rd in g to P ulley. To av o id
such action, she said, we must
lo o k for s o m e o n e to e n h a n c e
w ho we are.
To test y o u r c o m p a t i b i l i t y
with som eone, you might want to
ask yourself what kind o f quali­
ties are you looking tor in that
person. Do you look for som eone
w ho is a good companion, so m e­
o n e y o u can teach and learn
from, or som eo n e you can get
into bed with the fastest ’
For those w ho are not c o m ­
mitted to a relationship, the latter
may be O.K., but for those who
wish to experience a true bond­
ing relationship, such a course
could be disastrous.
A c c o r d i n g to P u ll e y , true
bonding is when both partners
are “ tuned to the sam e w a v e ­
length. ”
“Just thinking about the other
person, or feeling the same thing
at the same time, is a sign,” said
Pulley. “Whether y o u ’re actual­
ly with that person or not, there
is still that kind o f togetherness.”
A second part o f the seminar
focused on w ays o f exp ressin g
in tim acy n on -sexu ally. P ulley
a ck n o w led g ed the human need
for physical contact to reassure
and confirm each o th e r ’s s e l f ­
esteem.
Pulley does not advocate the
c h a s t e b e l i e f o f not to u c h in g
your partner at all until marriage,
as she feels this would deny a
very important aspect o f on e's
“humanism.”
“ M ost p eo p le w ill n ever
a c h ie v e b eing able to co n n ect
w ith a n o th e r p e r so n w ith o u t
touchin g,” she said. “ It is how
you connect that is important.”
She also directed the seminar
in practice o f som e methods o f
n o n -s e x u a l h u g g in g and m a s ­
sage. An important aspect o f the
lesson was the focussing o f em o ­
tional and spiritual energies into
p h ysical acts, then turning the
physical experience into a spiritujil expression.
Pulley concluded the seminar
things up with these lines from
the television show “Beauty and
the Beast” which, she said, are a
near-perfect expression o f bond­
ing and intimacy in a relation­
ship.
“Wherever I go, he is with me
in spirit, for w e have a bond
stronger than friendship or love.
And although we can not always
be together, we will never, ever
be apart.”

Giordano cautioned listeners,
however, against investments in
so-called “penny stocks” which,
he said, “tend to be rip-offs.”
In an effort to bolster co n fi­
d en ce in the p o st-c ra sh sto ck
market, “circuit breakers” have
been installed in the ex ch a n g es’

Giordano ex p ressed increas­

markets which, he says, are co n ­
tinually b ecom in g stronger and
better.
“T h e in tern atio n a l m arkets
are beco m in g more regulatory
minded. You can't have a pooriy
regulated market that will treat
the public fairly.” In addition,
Giordano says that foreign mar­
kets’ technology is much more
advanced than it w as just a few
years ago.
“ More co m p u te rs are being
added, plus there are now bigger
local com panies. T he [foreign]

The Japanese market, accord­
ing to Giordano, is “in for a cor­

stock prices o v er the last fiv e
years are staggering. T h ey are

Japanese stock sales, h o w e v ­

nation's minister o f finance who,
according to Giordano, “has the
power to tell people when and
how much to buy and when and
how much to sell.”

le m s , A m n esty m em b ers may
find themselves labeled as ideal­
ists or dream ers, according to
O'Dea. The fight, however, he
says, is for a universal standard
for human rights.
“ Many o f you would like to
change the world and can even
imagine changing it, making it a
better place,” O'Dea tells som e­
tim es
cy n ic a l
a u d ie n c e s .
R e s p o n s e s to h is s t a t e m e n t s
range from doubt to d isb e lie f,
sa y in g “you must be kidding,
you're telling me that just writing
a letter is going to help?”
O'Dea's answ er is, resou n d ­
ingly, yes.
“Those letters are still a very
e ffe c tiv e political to o l— s o m e ­
body's got to open them, som e­
body's got to read them and g o v ­
ernments violating basic human
rights feel the weight o f accumu­
lating foreign pressure.”
“The small steps w e can take
as individuals are the best steps
w e can take [in fighting to pro­
tect human rights),” he said.
Born in Ireland, O ’D ea was
schooled in England and earned
a master's degree in international
a d m in istration in B rattleb oro,
Vermont.
O'Dea says his involvement in
Amnesty was prompted by first­
hand e x p e r ie n c e liv in g in the
Middle ^ s t and “living through
both the coup d'6tat in Turkey
and the Is r a e li i n v a s io n o f
Lebanon.”
According to O'Dea, Amnesty
“spends a lot o f time document­
ing and v erify in g its in fo rm a ­
tion” about countries that restrict
public access to its operations,
“ A lo t o f the in f o r m a tio n

“I think w e ’re mixing up the
d e f in it io n s o f n o n - p r o f i t and
charity,” Hinckley said. “W e ’re
not a charity. T h ere m u st be
some limits to how far w e push
this diversity business.”
Hinckley added that the his­
torical treatment o f minorities in
this country has fostered a “guilt
f e e l i n g ” to s o m e d e g r e e at
Drexel. A feeling, he said, which
has “worked to the detriment o f
the University.”
Hreslin disagreed.

there is a “need to improve the

It also cross-checks its informa­
tion, a process O ’Dea said w as
necessary for Amnesty's credibil­
ity.
In his talk at D rexel, O'Dea
plans to discuss Amnesty's g en ­
eral purpose and the ty p es o f
cases it deals with. He will also

Follow the crowds to where the action is...
Cam eras and crowds m ark march on W ashington
C o m m e n ta ry
B y S h aw n W . Y e is le y
S p e c ia l t o T h e T r ia n g l e
e got up at 5 a.m. and prepared for the
three hour trip to Washington D.C. to
participate in the “March for Women's
Equality and W omen's L iv e s” . After I
took my show er I threw on my tie-dyed pants, shirt,
overshirt and my faded denim jacket with all o f m y
patches and pins on it. With our lunches and the sign that
I and the two ladies who accompanied me had made only
hours before, the three o f us walked to 29th and JFK in
Philadelphia.
Since we were on a “standby list,” we had to wait
until the buses had been boarded and hope that there
were three spaces among the almost thirty buses, never­
mind hoping that they'd be on the same bus. After check­
ing the waiting list it was determined that there were
three seats on a bus and, much to our delight, they were
together. Excited as all hell w e gave our $18 each to the
g r o u p le a d er, M ary A nn O 'C o n n o r fro m N A R A L
(National Abortion Rights Action League) and boarded
the bus whooping and hollering, despite the early hour.
We situated ourselves and finally sat down in our seats,
much to the joy o f the other passengers.
I was looking out o f the windows from my seat by
the aisle. In anticipation o f the rally, my first, I noticed
the sights like Chester's similar little boxes that dot 1-95,
the plentiful farmland in Maryland, the beautiful city o f
Baltimore and finally the skyline o f Washington D.C.
At last we pulled into the RFK Stadium parking lot
where our bus sat behind a lengthy line o f others. Even
though we had to wait at least half an hour, that wasn't
the worst o f it. There was a line o f buses behind ours that
was a mile an a half, two abreast with many, many more
following. While we were waiting for a parking space a
volunteer for the rally came on the bus and told us that a
record 500 buses were expected for the rally. She told us
that there was going to be more press here than there w as
at the inauguration.
Once the bus had a parking space people were given
signs. Mine was one with a giant coat hanger on it that
said “Illegal Abortions Never Again!” Once I set foot on
solid ground I placed a small American flag affixed to a
w ooden d o w el into the bandana that I had wrapped
around my head, over my right temple. We follow ed the
massive crowd o f people toward the Metro station to get
a ride to take us to the ‘giant needle’ o f The Washington
Monument. For a grand total o f $4.80 the two ladies that
accompanied me and I each got a round trip ticket.
Once the massive crowds arrived at the monument I
noticed the largest concentration o f humanity I had ever
seen. I must confess that I found the statistics the volun­
teer had told us a little hard to believe, but people were
everyw here. 1 saw peop le there from as far aw ay as
Alaska, Hawaii, and California, all waving their respec­
tive state flags.
The three o f us were separated from the group we
were with on the bus, so we went looking for any contin­
gency from Philadelphia. We finally found one, but it
didn’t seem to matter, at all. White people, black people,
h is p a n ic , o r ie n ta l, i n d i a n - A m e r ic a n s and e a s t e r n .
Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, agnostic, atheist, were all
there to do our patriotic duty to demonstrate for one side
o f a particularly touchy issue.
We were all there to protect a woman's right to do
with her body what she wills, wrong or not.
Anyway, the speaker system that allowed the guests
and musicians to get up on the soapbox to talk and sing
for the large crowd w as terrible. That in itself w as a
shame, because the little spots o f Peter, Paul, and Mary
sounded excellent. I would have loved to hear one thing
that Joan Baez was playing. From what I could gather,
most o f the songs were very feminist and surprisingly
alot o f them had paganistic overtones. One o f the many
things I w as go in g to learn on that Sunday w as that
paganism is very much alive and flourishing.
While the three o f us were standing around talking
people were coming up to m e and taking pictures o f me
W
and my sign. I could not understand why complete and
total strangers were walking up to me and asking if I'd let
them take my picture. I'm no celebrity or anyone special,
I was just there to demonstrate my opinion by shouting
slogans, waving a sign and observing my unfamiliar sur­
roundings. After the fourth private and press picture,
every subsequent picture taken had me holding my sign
and holding my right hand in the shape o f a ‘V.'
All at once the entire mass o f people started walking
toward the stage. Thirty minutes o f walking and waiting
to walk was wasted when the leaders o f the march had
directed everyone to back to the Washington Monument.
Once there the crowd o f protesters moved to 16th and
Independence, turned right and marched toward 2nd

Street to the south side o f Capitol Hill.
A ll through the marching I w as talking to people
walking on my right and on my left. Everyone w as so
friendly as the discussions were politically stimulating:
ranging from Bush's only campaign promise-the reversal
o f Roe vs. Wade, to drug testing impinging on our fourth
amendment rights-protection against illegal search and
seizure.
We moved until w e could no longer do so, resting in
the shadow o f the Capitol. Again w e encountered a lousy
speaker system, so we could not hear, Morgan Fairchild
and (Hanoi) Jane Fonda. In fact, for the first five minutes
o f Jesse Jackson's sp e e c h , I thought he w a s Jim m y
Carter.
Knowing that we had to be back to the bus
by 5:00 p.m., and also knowing that we were not
familiar with Washington, w e left at 3:30 p.m.,
which was after the Reverend's speech.
On the way to the Metro station a gentleman
dressed totally in w hite stopped me in front o f the
Justice Archives Building. He said that I was just the
guy that he was looking for in order to take a
picture. He told me to stand in front o f the
sign, hold my sign and to do the hand sym ­
bol used in the 60's to denote “peace.” I
asked if he was a reporter, and he said, “No,
I'm going to use your picture for my thesis.
I'll send you copies o f it.”
We finally found the station and f o l ­
lowed the crowd back to RFK. On the esca­
lator I had another picture taken o f me. We
walked out o f the station where I en cou n ­
tered a man selling pins o f the former Stokely
Carmichael, Martin Luther King and M alcolm
X . For a m ere d o lla r , I b o u g h t a pin o f
Malcolm X in Senengal, prompting the gen­
tleman to say to m e “Wear it with dignity.
Brother!” I told him that I always would
and g a v e h im a firm h a n d sh a k e and
wished him well.
We made it back
to the bus and after
waiting for a couple
o f people who were late w e finally pulled off. Outside o f
getting stuck behind two traffic jams and two accidents
the trip seemed to go rather quickly, since I was formu­
lating the thoughts that would go into this article.
On the bus I was thinking o f all the signs sported by
the opposition. I noticed that when all o f their rationality
for their position had sold them short they reverted to
out-of-context and miscontrued Biblical passages. I could
on ly think o f those (in)fam ous words, “Lord. I have
sinned against y o u ... M y Lord!”
The religious right does not realize that the issue o f
abortion is not a moral one but rather a civil one. During
these troubled times when national heroes and our elect­
ed officials not only daily, but constantly,
tread on the Constitution, w e must fight for
the all o f rights that so many people paid
the ultimate price for, even the amend­
ment in the bill o f rights which guaran­
tees the separation o f church and state.
T h ese p e o p le a ls o m ust realize
that paganism, agnosticism, and even
atheism are all religions and therefore
are valuable, private, personal con vic­
tions that are important and also as
sacred as the rights guaranteed to
all by the living document known
as the Constitution.

Searchingfor somethinginFt. Lauderdale...
B y M a rk B ic k e l
S p e c ia l t o T h e T r ia n g l e
t's about 10:00 p.m. Tuesday night. This is your
first night in Fort Lauderdale so you begin to head
down the main strip alone. You can hardly even
walk down the sidewalk because o f the m asses o f
people, but as you do you begin to take note o f those
around you. M ost seem to be heading for the ‘Candy
Store’ or ‘Sum m ers,’ the two main nightclubs here on
North Atlantic Blvd ( A lA ) . Outside every hotel entrance
and on every wall there is the now familiar sound o f guys
giving their ratings and commentaries on every girl who
walks by. The road is bumper to bumper traffic, most o f
which are expensive cars and pickup trucks full o f guys,
or occasionaly girls, scoping out and attempting to pick
up those o f the opposite sex. A s you continue down the
strip the sounds o f loud music and people cheering begin
to dominate - it is time for the first o f the night's wet Tshirt contests at the Candy Store. Just a few blocks fur­
ther d o w n y o u s e e a lin e fo r m in g for the party at
Summers and you pass several police officers patrolling
the area to keep everyone in order. Within another block
you pass the Elbow R oom and Las Olas Blvd., marking
the end o f the strip.
Crossing to the beach side o f A l A you now begin to
feel the cool breeze from the ocean and are struck with
the still, peaceful atmosphere. There is a captivating
beauty here as the full moon is reflected o ff the ocean
waters. As you walk along the shore tw o French w om en
ask you to help open a bottle o f champagne and ask if
you know any guys w ho can speak French. A s you con ­
tinue to walk the beach you pass several c o u p le s just
enjoying the quiet night alone. You also notice several
students sitting alone on the edge o f the beach, som e o f
whom seem entranced by the moon and the stars while
others stare longingly toward the strip. A s you look back
towards the people on the strip you begin to wonder how
many o f them will ever even notice the clear skies and
full moon.
It is now 11.00 p.m. and you are sitting by the pool at
your hotel. On the ground next to you are two empty beer
cans and there are more than two other cases o f empty
cans scattered all around the area. You notice tw o rela­
tively ta lm parties g o in g on around,the pool as several
guys and more girls pass you, case in hand, heading into
a first floor room. You now begin to hear loud music
everywhere as several room doors open and the parties
I
spill over into the hallways. Several gu ys by the pool
begin to chant loudly and rather incoherently now while
one o f the girls above yells down asking for sex. Another
guy begins to yell at all the sexy ladies below. As you
continue to watch, the commotion dies down slightly and
several other g u y s pass by you heading into various

and to get laid.*
rooms with w om en and alchohol in hand. One guys does
stop long enough to ask you “why do people punch peo­
ple in the mouth,” but he proceeds to leave before you
can answer. A s you get up to leave you take note that the
overall party activity has increased continually all night
and with it the frequency o f crude comments.
After your first night o f checking out the town you are
read y to s e e w h at the p la c e is r e a lly m a d e o f , so
Wednesday night you head for the Candy Store. They say
this is definitely the place to be: live bands inside and
out, wet T-shirt contests, a disco, and lots o f alcohol.
While there you meet a guy from Ontario and a girl from
Massachusetts. You see guys staring over the fence at all
the girls going by and others sitting at the bar drinking
the night away. It's very easy to meet people here, almost
too easy. As you begin to talk with people you find two
common goals among most o f the students here: to get
drunk and to get laid. A s you look around at the vast
majority o f guys here tonight you begin to wonder how
many ever succeed.
Before you know it your last night in Lauderdafe has
arrived. You stop by a dance at the Bahama hotel, but
som ehow it doesn't satisfy you, so you begin to head
d ow n the strip o n c e again. A lm o st im m ed iately you
sense somthing has changed, the atmosphere tonight is
much different than it was earlier in the week. A s you
approach the heart o f the strip you begin to sense a m el­
lowness, almost a tiredness in the air. At the same time
you realize that the people on the strip, especially the
women, are dressed much more loosely then before. It is
almost as if people are desperately looking for something
they have not yet found and don't expect to find. There
are a lot fewer cars on the strip tonight and a lot fewer
people, yet as you look across the road you notice more
p e o p le a lo n e by the beach than you 've seen before.
Crossing A l A you begin to walk back along the beach.
You again becom e aware o f the cool breeze and the full
moon, but this time the stillness seem s to increase the
sense o f emptiness all around. As you walk you realize
there is som eone else beside you, so you begin to talk, he
tells you he has just com e from and is heading back to a
hotel three miles away where his friend is waiting for a
girl w ho will never show.
A s you return to your hotel you pass still others sitting
staring into the wind as if hoping for som ething they
have not found. Then suddenly two girls practically run
over you; they have a sparkle in their e y es unlike any
you've seen d ow n here. B efore you can ev en ask any
questions they explain they have just c o m e from the
dance at the Bahama. They say they've just seen a man
with a broken heart touched by the peace o f God. As they
leave you are struck by the thought that anyone would be
thinking about God down here.
Upon returning to your hotel you g o up onto the roof
and take a final moment to listen to the last sounds of
spring break. A s you listen to the last few parties die out
you suddenly hear a women yelling at her boyfriend for
ruining their relationship and the entire w eek. A s she
leaves you hear her begin to cry uncontrollably. In that
moment you can almost feel her pain, and not just hers,
but that o f all those you have seen.

Mission search lacks substance
The faculty and administrators searching for a statement to defme
Drexel’s mission need to do some hard thinking about exactly what
they want to accom plish if anything useful is to com e from their
deliberations.
The first draft o f the m ission statem ent has been described,
accurately, as “mom and apple pie;” long on emotion and a feel-good
mentality, but com pletely lacking in substance.
The second draft is no better.
The purpose o f a mission statement is to provide the University
with an intellectual foundation on which to build its future. However,
even an intellectual foundation should have at least one concrete idea
for a comer stone. What does our mission statement have?
Bubble gum.
“We educate men and women . . . ” (i^-etty perceptive insight into a
university)
“provide a teaching and research environment characterized by a
co m m itm e n t to e x c e lle n c e ... ” (n ot to m en tion tenure and
publication)
“cultivate the values o f critical analysis, intellectual curiosity, and
cihical behavior” (in how many classes — besides A lO l — have you
even heard the w w d “ethical”)
“provide access, support, and opportunity for a diverse student
body, faculty and sta ff’ (with annual tuition increases that put the
University ever further out o f range for low -incom e students)
“provide challenging opp(xtunities for co -< ^ ra tiv e education . . . ”
(like the challenge o f getting the co -o p office to fmd you a job)
“foster an en rich in g and caring u niversity com m un ity” (no
comment necessary)
“promote the d evelopm en t o f our urban environment through
intellectual and cultural enrichment” (what?)
As if this kind o f fluff isn’t bad enough, the top o f the statement
proudly proclaims that “Drexel is the nation’s premier cooperative
te c h n o lo g ic a l u n iv e rsity ,” a p h ra seo lo g y w h ich , accord in g to
President Bieslin, “makes us almost alone in the field.”
With that kind o f reasoning, why stop there? Drexel is also the
nation’s premier university constructed alm ost entirely o f orange
bricks and the c ity ’s premier university between 32nd and 34th
streets in West Philadelphia.
It’s nice to know w e ’re still on top.

“If, in fact, we are

fact, be able to deal with it in the

W ilson G ood e, w ho said his

founded in the fact that the white
side always gets to move first.
Government is not the only

Jim Wright’s (EX-Tex.) slowness
in the appointing the representa­

F ond a. S en . R obert D o le
(R -K a n .) has accu sed Wright
publicly o f “playing politics” and
“using chess as a political foot­
ball.”
“The toll that this game has
taken on our nation’s young is

The recen t m em orandum
from the President suggesting
that Drexel will begin to investi­
gate “cost-cutting” measures in
the instructional program causes
m e to su g g e st the fo llo w in g
modest proposal.
Whereas those great idols of
late capitalism, Ronald Reagan
and Margaret Thatcher, have
shown that the way to develop a
true service economy is to pro­
vide few er and few er services
for greater cost to those who can
least afford it, w e at D rexel
ought to adopt the idea of charg­
ing user fees to students.
The initial user fees should be
focussed on instruction. There
should be tw o cla sses o f user
fees: first, a d m i t t a n c e f e e s ,
which permit a student to enter
and attend a given class and sec­
ondly, instruction f e e s , which
permit a student to submit tests
and oiiier materials for grading,
and to receive grades in courses
to which they have been admit­
ted. The first kind of fees will be
the larger am ount, and these
funds can be used to support
cap ital d ev elo p m en t for our
instructional programs. Thanks
to these funds, w e will finally
get the office space, release time
for curricular development, and
library f a c ilitie s w hich have
been promised for
years. The second
kind o f fees will be
used for operating
e x p e n s e s in the
instructional bud­
get. T h ese fun ds

receive appropriate
amounts o f profes­
sio n a l
se r v ic e s,
lon g d en ied to
Drexel faculty (sec­
retarial, student record adminis­
tration, photocopying, and relat­
ed services).
There will be those who say
that it is unfair and inappropriate
to tax students, w ho already
have tight budgets, to support
instruction. But a user fee is not
a tax, as President Bush has
made amply clear. Those who
drain resources from so ciety
must, after all, reimburse society
accordingly. Moreover, it is a
well known psychological fact
that p eo p le valu e th in gs the
more if they have to pinch pen­
nies to pay for them, so perhaps
stu d en ts w ill co m e to valu e
instruction more if we institute
this system. Besides, there is no
other group on whom we can
assess fees. American govern-
to a user fee system for instruc­
tion. Freshman and other lowlevel courses can be relatively
low-priced, allowing large and
flexible enrollment. Higher-level
courses, required for graduation
and the like, can be giv e n a
much higher price tag, yielding
low enrollments o f well motivat­
ed students. A sim ilar p olicy
co u ld be d e v e l­
oped for test-tak­
ing and paperw riting charges.

given cut-rates, or even free of
charge, to attract better enroll­
ments, and thus utilize teacher
time and classroom space more
rationally.
Once the user fee system is
established for basic instruction­
al activities, it can be extended.
The co-op office should operate
along the lines o f a real jobsearching agency, with competi­

time-clock and charge stu­
dents for the amount of time

borrowing of books and other
materials should be based on
the ability to pay as well. ”
ment, at all levels from federal
to local, has made it clear that
educational funding is a thing o f
the past. And it would be mani­
festly unfair for Drexel to seek
a d d ition al corporate support
when the only service we pro­
vide for the tri-state area busi­
nesses is the provision of thou­
sands o f skilled individuals as
cheap labor.
There are also, real advantages
tive fees. The library can intro­
duce a tim e-clock and charge
students for the amount of time
spent there, perhaps on a quarter­
ly basis. Obviously, the borrow­
ing o f books and other materials
should be based on the ability to
pay as well. With such fees we
might be able to bring the library
into the twentieth century before
it ends. Similar systems might be
developed for the use o f the gym
and other Drexel facilities.
U p to n ow , d e c is io n s at
Drexel have been made without
due consideration o f the fact that
the institution exists to provide
instruction to people. By making
instruction directly dependent on
user fees w e can guarantee that
the ability to pay is matched with
ability to ask for payment in the
kind of rational quid pro quo that
ought to characterize a university
community. This, o f course, will
rationalize the instructional bud­
get in a far more profound way
than any set o f cost-cutting ini­
tia tiv e s . H a v in g stream lin ed
instructional s[>endihg in such a
way, Drexel administrators, who
provide no services to students,
will be enabled to better serve
the corporations in whose inter­
est Drexel is in fact run.

PrimeEvil: A Who’sWho of Modern Horror
by Jack Persico
Trian\>le Staff Writer
With the horror genre flourishing like
never before, anthologies o f short stories
are becoming increasingly popular. The
latest trend is to collect stories from sev­
eral different writers and include them all
in one volum e: a marketing technique
similar to music “samplers.”
One o f the best and by far the most
ambitious is the recently released P rim e
EviL which contains 13 (catchy number,
eh? I doubt it w as a co in c id en ce) new
stories by a cross-section o f the entire
genre. Each story is prefaced by a brief
but efficient biography o f its author.
In addition to horror fictio n 's Big
Three — Stephen King. C liv e Barker,
and Peter Straub — there are stories by
rising stars such as R am sey Campbell
and Whitley Strieber, as well as several
others who are unknown to most casual
readers. Each has been hand-picked by
horror archivist D o u g la s Winter, w ho
calls them "the most consistently original
and haunting voices in contemporary fic­
tion. Each is genuine and individual."
Even more revealing is the somewhat
surprising list o f w ho is not included:
Dean K oon tz, John S a u l, and Robert
MacCammon are all more popular than
many o f those included in Prime Evil, but
they, and others like them, are notorious­
ly absent. In the introduction. Winter
seem s to be saying implicitly that every­
one else is little more than a low -class
pulp writer who guilelessly rehashes tired
cliches.

collection o f stories about haunted hous­

bush-league. Besides, only Stephen King
and Peter Straub have enough grace to
use such themes without seeming corny.
In fact, the only story in Prim e E vil

world o f vampires, but it is also far from
typical. “The Night Flier” is a suspense­
ful and climactic stor>' that is full o f dark
humor and acerbic wit.
In the 1980s, it seem s, truly chic vam­
pires no longer turn into bats to go stalk­
ing victim s — instead, they use private
planes! In this case, the vampire in ques­
tion has a jaunty little Cessna that he uses
to transport him self to deserted airfields
where he preys on hapless victims. King's
descriptions are as grandiose as always,
and his characterizations are consistently
precise as well.
e
Clive Barker's “Coming to Grief" is an
uncharacteristically subdued story about a
w om an's attempt to cope with the death
o f her mother. Barker's writing in this
story is surprisingly poignant. At on e
point, while the woman is looking at old
photographs o f her mother, this is the way
Barker describes her thoughts: “Laughter
pealed o f f these images: their fixed joy
parodied the truth o f deterioration and
annihilation w hose proof was borne by
the empty house.”
What's going on here? This is hardly to
be expected from the daredevil w ho has
earned a reputation for writing shockingly
graphic and audacious stories.
Although Barker’s stories have always
discussed the disturbing events surround­
ing mortality, “Com ing to G r ie f' is his
first consideration o f death ex post facto.
It is full o f gloom y emotional struggles,
and its subtle sentiment is as disturbing as
Barker's usual thrillers.
Peter Straub's “The Juniper Tree " is a
slick, stylish story about a seven-year-old
boy w ho strikes up an unlikely friendship
with a stranger in a movie theater, and the
debilitating effect it has on his psych olog­
ical d e v e lo p m e n t. By the end o f their
“friendship,” the boy is so consumed with
terror that reality, dreams, im agination,
and m ovie sequences all blur together in
his mind.
Although the plot is interesting, it is
S trau b ’s v iv id prose that m a k es “T h e
Juniper Tree” so fascinating. Straub takes
us back to a period in life when terror is a
tangible, visceral experience; long before

“The Juniper Tree” is perhaps
the m ost w ell-w ritten story in
Prime Evil, since it concentrates
more on conjuring im ages than
follow ing a detailed plot. A lso, it
is the only story in Prim e Evil
with no supernatural elem en ts,
which makes it ultimately more
realistic and thus more disturb­
ing. T he best w ay to d escribe
“T h e Juniper T r e e ” is to u se
Straub’s own words, from a dif­
ferent story o f his: it is truly “a
great ghost story in w hich the
ghost never appears.”
A lthough K ing, Barker, and
Straub provide the best stories in
P rim e Evil, the rem aining ten
s t o r ie s are an a s s o r t m e n t o f
d iv erse them es and sty les that
u s u a l ly s u c c e e d to a c e r ta in
degree, although a few are just
too esoteric to create any reso­
nance within the reader.
O ne o f the more engrossing
stories in Prim e E vil is D avid
M o r r e l l ’s “ O r a n g e is for
A n g u i s h , B lu e fo r I n s a n i t y ,”
which is about the secret o f a
brilliant painter’s technique and
the madness it induces. It is sec­
ond only to King's “The N ight
Flier” for sheer suspense.
Other noteworthy stories are
“The Pool,” by Whitley Strieber,
w hich d ea ls w ith supernatural
intelligence, and Charles Grant’s
eerie “Spinning Tales With the
D ea d .” In it. Grant provides a
statem ent that is a fitting e p i­
gram for not only his ow n story,
but each o f those in Prime Evil:
“It's a matter o f belief. You take
the tale, and for the tim e that
y o u ’re telling it, y o u ’ve got to
believe it, or it w o n 't be an y­
th in g m o re than a d u m b and
stupid lie.”

Take us for all we’ve got.
Are you having trouble saying
‘N o ’ to sex? Well Barry Sand,
former Letterman producer and
humor writer, thinks he has the
answer in his new book. W h a t
To Substitute For Se.\, Bantam
Books.
First he su g g e sts asexuality.
Role m o d els the likes o f Saint
Theresa, Sir Isaac N ew ton , and
J. Edgar Hoover are mentioned
for inspiration. Then he lists the
steps needed to achieve asexuali­
ty, including adopting cats, neu­
tering them yourself, and singing
“ Y ou'll N e v e r W alk A l o n e ”
whenever you see a sex scene in
a m ovie. Finally Sand supplies
the addresses o f current asexuals, such as Pope John Paul II,
M o th e r T h e r e s a , and the
Ayatollah Khomeini him self, so
you can write them for infonnation, advice or grooming tips.
D iv ersio n s w hen you are in
the m o o d fo r s e x is the n ex t
chapter. Here we have a plethora
o f ideas. You can volunteer your
services at places like the Old
N e w s b o y G o o d f e ll o w Fund o f
D e t r o it , T h e I n t e r n a t io n a l
Sunshine Society or Servants in
Faith and Technology. There are
also many toll-free numbers to
call to get your mind o ff o f sex:

the
Butterball Turkey H o tlin e and

gro u p s, lik e the International
Flat Earth Research Society that
you can join not to mention the
u s e fu ln e ss o f the T riathlon in
keeping your mind o ff o f sex.
If the diversions don't work,
there are always substitutes. The
book supplies recipes, things to
thjnk aliout before havin g sex
(Visa bills, circumcision e tc ...) ,

Censorship: What you don’t read might hurt you
Continued from page 11
shuttle launch this year will carry
with it Project Galileo, the orbit­
ing telescope, a “probe powered
by 49 pounds o f lethal plutoni­
um”, and if the shuttle explodes,
the plutonium c o u ld kill th o u ­
sands o f people. It may not be
the greatest idea to put all that
radioactive material in a rocket,
but the p rem ise is still pretty
thin. I believe in the freedom o f
information, but speculation and
extremism found in this kind o f
a r tic le s h o u ld be le f t to the
supermarket tabloids.
(As an aside, I think that this
article w as cut b ecau se it w as
not very w ell-written. It didn't
c o n ta in any hard research or
data, c o n ta in e d inappropriate
quotes and references, and the
writer speculated far too much
w ith the in fo rm a tio n he had.
After reading the article, I felt
more sorry for the network news
workers that have had more and
m ore o f their reso u rces taken
a w ay from them , than for the
‘under-informed’ public.)
B y now, so m e o f the gentle
readers have asked, "Could cen­
sorship happen to the Trianglel"
If it means what happens to any
n ew s service that has to make
j u d g e m e n t d e c i s io n s on w hat
stories are important enough to
c o m m it lim ited resou rces o f
m on ey , m a n p o w er, and sp ace
(we do only have 20 pages), the
answer is yes. But that is not
censorship.
C e n s o r s h ip is to o strong a
word to use, because every piece
o f information cannot be report­
ed and printed, and decisions on
w hat can be reported m ust be
made. Censorship by definition
m e a n s “ to s u p p r e s s a n y th in g
o b jection ab le” to editing infor­
m ation that is tried to be kept
secret. Not reporting everything
in sight is not censorship, and we
d o not su p p r e ss (just lo o k at
som e o f the letters w e print).
B ut n o w is the tim e that I
think I should pull in the reigns a
bit. I should be fair and say that
the alternative press does serve a
purpose by providing criticism s
and errors o f the m a in strea m ,
and present alternate viewpoints.
These are needed nowadays, not
j u s t for the in f o r m a tio n th e y
might provide, but as a reminder
that a lt e r n a t i v e i n f o r m a t i o n
exists. But just as I felt at the
b egin n in g o f this c o lu m n , any
n e w s s e r v ic e sh o u ld be taken
with a grain o f salt.
Including
ones that stand for accurate and
fair reporting.
