Dr. Constatine N. Papadakis,
currently dean of the college of
engineering at the University of
Cincinnati, was named Drexel
University’s 11th president on
May 17 by the Board of Trustees.
C h airm an o f the Board
George Ross, who is also the co­
chair of the Presidential Search
Committee, said Papadakis was
the u n an im o u s choice o f the
search committee.
After a m eetin g w ith the
Presidential Search Committee,
the Board of Trustees voted to
hand presidential duties over to
P apadakis, effective Nov. 1.
Papadakis was then introduced
to th e Drexel c o m m u n ity by
Ross.
“Dr. Papadakis’ impressive
background and achievements at
Cincinnati speak eloquently for
his ability to lead Drexel
University into the next centu­
ry,” said Ross. “His experience in
both the academic and corporate
w’orlds made him particularly
well qualified.”
Papadakis said his b a c k ­
ground is “a perfect fit” with
what Drexel needs, so his deci­
sion to accept the post was not
difficult. He said he has "careful­
ly considered this assignment”
and that he foresees no difficulty
in adjusting to the new position.

The Division of Student Life
is looking for a new food service
p rovider to replace A ram ark,
which term inated its contract
effective July 3.
The decision to end their contract was “purely business,” said
D irector o f Food Services Pat
Flanagan. “Both parties could
not operate under the current
contract.”
The Division for Student Life
has initiated a committee to find
a company to take over the food
services. Aramark is among the
bidders who will be on campus
in early June to present their
proposes to the committee,
D rexel was n o tified o f
Aramark’s intention to end its
contract on April 3, and on May
3 Aramark officially decided to
leave.
In the May 3 letter to Drexel,

According to Vice Provost for
S tu d en t Life D iana Hackney,
Drexel is asking for a proposal
for a modern campus food ser­
vice program to provide creative
solutions to Drexel University’s
unique needs. The successful
bidder should provide a perfor­
mance guarantee and the ability
to institute a campus food ser­

according to Hackney.
Specifically, “The University
desires the successful bidder to
implement other elements of a

The fiiture of over $1 million
in donations to Drexel, which
was in th e hands o f the
Foundation for New Era Phil­
an th ro p y , becam e u n certain
when the foundation filed for
C h ap ter 11 b an k ru p tc y on
Monday, May 15.
The foundation — which has
been described by authorities as
a variation of a pyramid scheme,
an operation in which donors
are enticed to hand over money
in expectation of large returns
— could no longer support itself
when Prudential Securities Inc.
sought payment on a $44.9 mil­
lion loan in federal district court.
A ccording to CEO Chuck
Pennoni, it is “too early to pre­
dict anything” about the esti­
mated $1 to $2 million Drexel
gave the foundation.
The money New Era received
from Drexel is unrelated to the
Million Dollar Match program,
in which $500,000 in funds from
new donors were to be matched
by New Era.
Million Dollar Match funds
were collected by Drexel and
then m atched by New Era in
increments of $50,000. So far,
$ 100,000 in donations have been
matched. Drexel did not give the
money to New Era before receiv­
ing the matched funds, accordsee MATCH on page 6

Lambda C hi’s Vice President
and “Greek Whitewash” chair­
person, Chris McCarthy. Kusha
Sheikholeslami helped to coordi­
nate the event.
According to McCarthy, 10 to
15 student organizations vydll be
given designated areas to clean
up around campus from 11:00
a.m to 3:00 p.m. Students swept
the sidewalks and rem oved
tapes, flyers and litter.
C onfirm ed
p a rtic ip a n ts
include included Phi Mu, Alpha
Sigma Alpha, Delta Zeta, Alpha
Pi Lam bda, G am m a Sigma
Sigma and Tau Kappa Epsilon.
In addition to cleaning up the
campus, the group v^ll paint a
giant mural on the wall of the
Amtrak building, which faces the
new recreation field on 32nd
Street. The wall is presently cov­
ered with graffiti. Each group
will p ain t a d ifferen t design
reflective o f its role in the
University.
Drexel’s Facilities M anage­
ment provided supplies for the
day, including rakes, broom s
and other cleaning materials.
Dean of Students and interim
Director of Greek Life Dr. James
Fitzpatrick remarked that the
wall is presently an “eyesore”.
He was impressed that Greeks
are willing to clean the area and
make it decorative and appropri­
ate to Drexel. He also noted that
the event shows “a strong sense
of school spirit, and pride in the
institution.” i

More than a hundred members of Greek organizations participated in
the 1995 Spring Cleanup held on May 13. The students went into the
gutters of major thoroughfares and lifted out years of road dirt
throughout the Powelton Village area.
“Some people have said that today’s college students don’t care and
are only interested in themselves,” said Powelton resident Barbara
Sewell. “I find that hard to believe in the light of the work I observed
last Saturday.”
Resident Marion Kreiter said, “The most disappointing thing 1 saw
at the \^dloie cleanup was that out of the 300 bags we had to give out,
only six of them remained unused.”
The participating groups included Delta Zeta, Phi Kappa Sigma,
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Phi Lambda Phi, Pi Kappa
Phi, Sigma Pi, Phi Sigma Sigma and Sigma Alpha Mu.
In addition to Sewell and Kreiter, the students worked along with
residents Frank Pillar, Alex Cook, Vaughn Cook, Camille Marker,
John Claypool, John Lindsay and Tom Kerr.
Coordinated by resident Hanley Bodek, the day was sponsored by
Powelton Pizza and the Philadelphia More Beautiful Committee.

The International Students Office of Drexel University collaborat­

host its inaugural International Potiuck Dinner in the Grand Hall on
Thursday May 11.
The dinner had various authentic dishes prepared by international
students. Among the guests were CEO Chuck Pennoni and his wife,
Annette.
“Since the world is becoming global, it is to our advantage that we
should know how to speak anther language and to learn some culture
aside from our own,” commented Mr. Pennoni.

Choosing the new University
president was not the only item
on the agenda at the May 17
meeting of the Drexel Board of
Trustees. In fact, the Board spent
m ost of its open meeting time
discussing other items. Among
th e to p ics o f d iscussion, the
trustees announced a new mem­
ber appointed by the governor,
approved a name change and an
added mission for the College of
Information Studies, and agreed
upon prom otions for selected
faculty members.
The College of Inform ation
Studies will be called the College
o f In fo rm a tio n Science and
Technology, effective July 1. The
Board also approved the col­
lege’s plan to allow students to
earn a full degree in Masters of
Science in Information Systems
via computer network.
A ccording to T rustee Joe
Jacovini, chair o f the Board’s
academic affairs committee, the
new name “more clearly and dis­
tinctively represents the current
scope of the college’s academic
and research programs.” It also
“b e tte r
p o sitio n s
Drexel
University in its ability to attract
students, faculty and external
funding to its information-related programs.”
Funded by the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation, the prototype for
the college’s “virtual classes” has
been successfully com pleted.
More funding firom the founda­
tion is anticipated to expand the
prototype to granting complete
degrees in an asy n ch ro n o u s
environment.
Francis G. V itetta has been
ap p o in te d D rexel tru ste e by
P ennsylvania G overnor Tom
Ridge.
A 1955 architectural engineer­
ing graduate from the University
of Pennsylvania, Vitetta has been
president o f the Vitetta Group
since 1968. He m anages an d
directs all architectural, engi­
neering and planning activities
of the firm.
The Vitetta Group is a multi­
disciplinary architectural and
engineering professional corpo­
ration with a staff o f over 225
professionals located in offices
across the nation.
The Board approved tenure
and promotions for faculty dur­
ing its meeting on May 17. The
p ro m o tio n will be effective
September 1. •

A sso ciatio n ’s
Committee on Campus Security
found during its recent analysis
of security on campus. The com­
mittee hopes the evidence it has
gathered v^ll get the attention of
administrators and change cam­
pus security for the better.
According to a May 1 report
by the USGA C o m m ittee on
Campus Security, the quality of
Drexel Security services is
“p o o r” in m any areas. The
report also called service by the
Physical Plant-operated shuttle
service “consistently poor.”

Student IDs were not always
requested by security guards at

they were, ID validation stamps
were rarely checked.

docum ented 12 cases within a
week in which the Drexel Shuttle

“We are not out to hurt any­
one’s reputation, and I realize
that there are many guards here
who work hard to ensure our
safety,” said committee member
and USGA Speaker Dan Bahar.
“However^ the concerns we raise
in this report appear to be legiti­
mate and [they] risk the proper­
ty, safety, and [possibly the] lives
of students on our campus.”
The
USGA com m ittee
reserved its most positive com­
ments for Drexel Security’s van
escort service. The committee
report called it “satisfactory,”
receiving an escort on time all
but once during its study.
“We have had a problem with
balancing demand against limit­
ed resources,” said Senior Vice
P resid ent for Finance and
Administration Bert Landau in
response to the findings. “Our
resources are finite and our
demand is expanding.”
The staff turnover rate is 80
p ercen t for security officers,
according to Director of Security
Jim Powell. Due to lack of funds,
security p erso n n el have not
received a raise in three years.
This has caused many officers to
leave in search of higher-paying
jobs.
“Once we train a new officer,
[he] must be accompanied by a
senior officer,” said Powell. “The
new officers also must be famil­
iarized with the campus, which
takes a great deal of time. In the
future, I would like to see a staff
that is contracted under Drexel,
as op p o sed to P in k e rto n
Security. It would give the staff
more of a bond with the cam­
pus,” said Powell.
Chris McCarthy, newly elect­
ed USGA Vice P rovost for
Student Life, said security will
also be one of his first priorities.
McCarthy wants to explore the
feasibility of a legitimate police
force on campus, as opposed to
w hat he called “re n t-a -c o p ”
Pinkerton personnel.
In the future, Landau would
like to see D rexel’s and the
U niversity o f P ennsylvania’s
sh u ttle services com bined.
Drexel does not have a sufficient
amount of shutdes to service the
campus, and a merger with Penn
would be ideal. This would also
improve relations between Penn
an d Drexel, accord in g to
Landau.
Landau and Powell plan to
reevaluate b u ild in g security.
Since the re p o rt was issued,
th ere will be stric te r policy
enforcement concerning build­
ings being locked and the show­
ing of IDs, according to Landau.
“There were many incidents
th at show the security being
courteous to students. These
should be noted, and I appreci­
ate finding these things out fi’om
USGA,” remarked Landau.
Powell felt that the report was
beneficial to security and said
t hat all incidents of security
being inadequate will be thor­
oughly investigated. He also
noted that Drexel has a lower
crime rate than Penn and
Temple.

Constantine Papadakis will assu m e th e presidency on Nov. 1.

potential and a lot of strength we
can build on,” said Papadakis.
“This place has a bright future.”
According to Papadakis, his
first priority is to work with the
Drexel community to develop a
plan to p ro m o te D rex el’s
uniqueness. The plan should
“cross college borders through a
co m m o n them e developed
together to make this University
great. ... We want to be first in
the areas we select [to em pha­
size] ” said Papadakis.
D u rin g his May 8 visit to
campus as a finalist, Papadakis
said, “You b etter n o t ask the
president for the vision of a uni­
versity. ... [We have to] create
the vision together. It has to be
the vision of the faculty.”
He wants to “create a win-win
opportunity for all participants,
who will benefit and prosper”
under his management.
Papadakis confirmed that he
will bring in m any initiatives,
but they will “have to wait until
we prioritize plans and identify
the most important issues.”
One thing Papadakis wants to
change is the way Drexel raises
funds. He wants to “tie fundrais­
ing with academic objectives ...
such as endowment, chair pro­
fessorship and sch o larsh ip
[funds]”
Papadakis said Drexel’s repu­
tation is much more known out­
side of Philadelphia, and that its
strengths are not just in engi­
neering.
Ross said D rexel and
C incinnati have some similar
characteristics — both are locat­
ed in urban settings, and both
mandate cooperative education­
al programs. Cincinnati’s co-op
program is the nation’s oldest,
while Drexel’s program is the
nation’s second largest.
Papadakis decided to start on
Nov. 1 instead of the start of the
Drexel 1995-96 school year so he
can have time to ensure an ade­
q u ate successor for him at
Cincinnati is found. In addition,
he wants to “use this period to
learn w h a t’s [happening] on
campus, the programs and the
people at Drexel.”
Papadakis gained lukewarm
support from the faculty after his
May 8 campus visit. Faculty polls
from the College of Engineering
and the College o f Arts and
Sciences preferred another presi­
d en tial finalist. Dr. Eleanor
Baum, over Papadakis. Some
faculty m em bers were uneasy
about his technical background,
while others did not like the way
he communicated.
H ow ever, Papadakis said,
“Everyone I met expressed their
support [for my appointment].”
CEO C huck P ennoni, who
was the contact person for the
search co m m ittee, said he
received mixed responses from
the Drexel community, but he
believed that the committee had
the benefit of having an oppor­
tunity to know more about the
finalists.
Pennoni also confirmed that
extensive background checks
were co nducted on the three
presidential finalists before the
committee made its recommen­
dation. Two firms performed the
checks, which included talking
to the University of Cincinnati
community.
P apadakis plans to set up
informal presidential breakfasts
with random faculty members
every week to seek their com ­
ments.
Papadakis anticipates close
ties with the students. He plans
to encourage students to e-mail
him to tell him about problems
and how to fix them. Papadakis
prom ises to hand out a $500
Presidential Award each year to
a student with best the sugges­
tions.
Currently, there is no definite
h ousing acco m m o datio n for
''T h e U n iv e r s ity

Papadakis. “I’d like to live on
campus if I could ... but time [to
find housing] may be a factor,”
said Papadakis. “I’ll be working
15 hours a day on campus any­
how.” However, he has future
plans to ask faculty members to
join him in living on campus.
"Both me and my wife like the
city [of Philadelphia] very much.
It’s very similar to Cincinnati,”
said Papadakis. “It feels like
home.”
Papadakis will succeed Dr.
Richard Breslin, who was asked
to subm it his resignation last
S eptem ber after six years as
Drexel’s president.
Now that the new president
has been appointed, D rexel’s
next step is to find a new provost
and senior vice president for
academic affairs. “It’s premature
to comment” on a specific per­
son for the p o sitio n , said
Papadakis. “I will spend time
with the interim provost and
Mr. Pennoni to address possibil­
ities.”
On luly 1, current Provost
and Senior Vice President for
Academic Affairs Dennis Brown
will leave for Potsdam , New
York to take the position of pres­
ident at Clarkson University.
D uring his nine years at
C incinnati, Papadakis sp ear­
headed major growth in the col­
lege of engineering. Enrollment
increased for both undergradu­
ate and g rad u ate levels, and
research grants and contracts
.grew from $6 million to $9 mil­
lion.
P ap ad ak is’s most visible
achievement was getting funding
for Cincinnati’s newly-complcted Engineering Research Center,
The project received $31.5 mil­
lion in state funding and $5 mil­
lion from private sources. He
was also credited for implement­
ing a program to help faculty
with their teaching techniques.
Papadakis will bring to Drexel
10 years of administrative expe­
rience in academia in addition to
10 years of corporate manage­
ment experience.
P apadakis has been
Cincinnati’s dean of the college
of engineering since 1984. He
received his undergraduate civil
engineering degree in his native
country of Greece and his Ph.D.
in h y d rau lics from
the
University o f Michigan. From
1984 to 1986, Papadakis was a
professor and head of the civil
en g in eerin g d ep a rtm en t at
Colorado State University.
In addition, Papadakis has
held positions in private indus­
try for Bechtel Associates and
STS C o n su ltan ts. He is the
author of many technical articles
and several books. The 49-yearold incoming president is mar­
ried to the form er Eliana
Apostolides, and they have a 10year-old daughter, Maria.
Aramark terminates contract with Drexel
ARAMARK from page 1
orien tatio n s and convenience
stores,” said Hackney.
Aramark began its service at
Drexel on July 18, 1992. Despite
attem pting “everything possi­
ble,” Flanagan said Aramark has
not made a profit at Drexel. He
cited high overhead cost and
declining enrollment as the main
reasons.
Before terminating their con­
tract, Aramark proposed three
fin an cial altern ativ es w hich
would “produce a modest return
for Aramark while allowing us to
provide the kind of program that
stu d en ts w ant and d eserv e.”
N one were accepted by the
University.
The first reco m m en d atio n
called for a 5.95 percent price
increase for each meal plan.
Aramark would be compensated
for the food service on a m an­
agem ent fee o f five p ercen t,
based on the total cost plus five
percent of sales arrangement.
Based on current statistics, the
first reco m m en d atio n asked
Drexel to provide a $334,232
subsidy to cover the projected
loss if Aramark were to stay for
the next school year.
The figure was based on
ap p ro x im a te ly $3 m illio n in
annual sales from board, declin­
ing balance, catering and cash
transactions.
Hack'ney said the proposal
was rejected because “if losses
co n tin u e, Drexel w ould now
assume financial loss.”
The second recommendation
called for a m andatory board
plan for all resident students.
While freshman residents would
still be mandated to participate
in the 14-meal plan, other dorm
re sid e n ts co u ld pick to have
three, seven or 14 meals in the
dining facility a week. In addi­
tion, the plan proposed opening
a convenient store on the second
floor of New Tower Residence
HaU.
According to Hackney, stu­
dent input showed opposition to
the m andatory plan, even with
the convenient store benefit.
Aramark’s proposed store would
not share its profit with Drexel,
in a d d itio n to the fact th at
Aramark was not going to pay
for the space, while an outside
group such as Wawa would.
The th ird option suggested
closing the faculty club, reduced
services at the Dragon’s Den and
reduced hours for holidays and
weekend services. Flanagan said
the last o p tio n “was n o t the
choice th at we would recom ­
mend unless there is no viable
alternative.”
D u rin g its tim e at Drexel,
Aramark has increased the num ­
ber o f upperclassm en on the
meal plan. It provided “an excel­
lent traditional board plan,” said
Hackney.
Aram ark also paid for the
re n o v atio n the m ain din in g
room, the main food court area
and the service area of Grab-nGo.
Mystery Shopper, an indepen­
dent agency hired by Aramark,
consistently gives near perfect
grades to the quality of food and
service and the variety offered in
the H an d sch u m ach er D ining
Facility.
Aramark “had enjoyed serv­
ing Drexel,” said Flanagan. “We
[have taken] pride in our work
and we did it to the best of our
ability.”

W ith U n iv e r s ity o f C i n c i n n a t i D e a n o f E n g in e e r in g
C onstantine Papadai<is formally nam ed Drexel’s 11 th president,
Drexel University is poised to tu rn a corner. Finally, Drexel
seems ready to leave behind m o n th s o f adm inistrative limbo,
stalled plans to keep the school on an even keel, and the era o f
Richard Breslin.
O r is it?
We at The Triangle keep tabs on w h at’s going on at o th er
schools, and when Penn and Penn State recently an n o u n ced
th e ir n ew est p re sid e n ts, we saw th a t th o s e c a m p u se s were
buzzing with excitement. W ith Drexel’s own presidential search
w inding down, we expected the same.
But as we prowled the cam pus after th e Board o f Trustees’
announcem ent on Wednesday, May 17, we sensed a profound
feeling o f — nothing. Numbness. At worst, disappointm ent; at
best, the sense that Papadakis was the cream o f a bad crop.
T hink about this: Trustee and current CEO Chuck Pennoni
heard mixed feelings from the cam pus regarding Papadakis as
presidential material. Faculty surveys only grudgingly su p p o rt­
ed P a p a d a k is ’ c re d e n tia ls. A n d B ru ce E isen stein , h e a d o f
Drexel s d e p a rtm e n t o f electrical an d co m p u ter engineering,
told the Philadelphia Inquirer that Papadakis “ [has] to do a job
that everyone will be proud of.”
Can we therefore infer that a significant p art o f Drexel is not
already pro u d o f Papadakis? And if this is the case, then why is
he o u r president?
T h e earliest answers seem to lie in his ability to attract stu­
d e n ts an d m o n ey to an in s titu tio n o f h ig h er learning. But
s o m etim es, u n d e r th e rig h t circ u m sta n ces, “s tu d e n ts ” an d
“m oney” m ean essentially the same thing. Papadakis, the search
com m ittee and the Board o f Trustees m ay know a thing o r two
a b o u t the cam pus b o tto m line, b u t they seem to know little
about cam pus attitudes and morale.
News flash: they’re very low. A more, shall we say, hum ane
candidate — maybe C ooper U nion’s Eleanor Baum, maybe not
— m ight have awakened com m unity, consensus, excitem ent
and Drexel as a whole.
O f course, we do have Papadakis’ call for university-w ide
“vision” to lead us into the next academ ic year. “Vision,” he
says, is what we need to establish before we decide what prob­
lems to solve, what program s to add, what buildings to close,
what rate at which to raise tuition. “Vision” is his first priority,
specifics be dam ned.
English professors call this language “glowing generalities.”
C rude English professors have another term for it, a com pound
noun beginning with “bull” and ending with “shit.”
At this po in t in its history, we feel Drexel needs n o t ju st a
president, but a friend, maybe even a bodyguard. Drexel needs
som eone it can confide in, som eone to have good times with,
som eone who isn’t afraid to lead the way, take charge, tell us his
ideas o f what is needed and what is extraneous.
Papadakis m ight tu rn o ut to be exactly this type o f leader —
and we hope he does. But when he says things like, “You’d bet­
ter not ask the president for the vision o f a university,” we w on­
der how he will lead.
Asking the faculty to help define his “vision” is a mistake on
Papadakis’ part. First, the faculty are strong but, after the last six
years, a tad jaded. Second, after the last few weeks o f forums,
discussions, surveys and suggestions, it’s obvious that the facul­
ty do not stand fiilly behind Papadakis.
Finally, and m ost importantly, Papadakis’ request portrays
him as anything but a strong and focused leader. Indeed, at this
early stage in th e presidential gam e, C o n sta n tin e Papadakis
looks perfectly content and able to let other people (faculty or
otherwise) m old his course o f action.
That course o f action leads Drexel University, an d the tens o f
thousands o f lives connected to it, on into history. But if you
ask us, “vision” doesn’t direct Drexel in this journey. Right now,
it’s just the blind leading the blind.

Greek victory
coverage unfair
Editor:
I ju st finished reading The
Triangle's May 12 article about
the trem e n d o u s n u m b e r o f
Greek-affiliated winners in the
recent USGA elections. While
reading the article I began to feel
there were some inferences made
that are unfair.
The most glaring was the sec­
tion referring to Olga Frumkin’s
campaign posters disappearing.
The article infers th at it was
Steve M a rto ra n o ’s cam paign
workers who tore the posters
down, simply because they hap­
pened to be th ere when she
checked hers later.
W hat reason does The
Triangle have to make this infer­
ence, w hen even D ean o f
Students James Fitzpatrick says
that such an idea is “sheer specu­
lation or anyone’s guess?”
Also, what motivation would
any Greek have for the illegiti­
mate removal of Ms. Frumkin’s
poster when she was not even
opposed by anyone associated
with the Greek ticket?
Additionally, I felt that The
Triangle concentrated on the
reasons why the Greek winners
were not the best candidates.
Was this an opinion article?
The Triangle didn’t mention
anything about the experience,
or lack thereof, of other winners
or even the losers of the Greekwon races. In the deck for the
article, the question “How?” was
presented.
H ere is a very plausible
answer, one th at the article
neglected to mention: The Greek
w inners cam paigned to the
Greek students.
In past elections the Greek
com m unity has been virtually
ignored by the USGA candidates
— im agine n o t going after
approximately 13-15 percent of
the student body.
H ad th e o th e r can did ates
com e to th e G reek stu d en ts,
conveniently located together in
houses or apartments, then they
might possibly have gotten some
of the Greek vote. Most Greeks
didn’t vote because the candi­
dates were Greek, but because
they knew the platform of those
candidates.
But alas, the other candidates
chose to d isco u n t th e Greek
minority and paid the price. Did
they perhaps learn something to
remember next year? Only time,
and the next election, will tell.

Be green
Editor:
Has anyone in the residence
halls noticed those blue buckets
or white cardboard containers?
These blue buckets are for recy­
cling glass, aluminum and plas­
tic. The white cardboard con­
tainer is for mixed paper.
Mixed paper is stuff like com­
puter paper, newspaper, writing
and typing paper, catalogs and
magazines. Any paper-like food
containers (anything which has
even touched food) should not
be put in the mixed paper con­
tainer.
I and others in EYE Openers
have been campaigning for six
months to get Drexel to start a
recycling program and we are
finally sta rtin g to see som e
progress.
A pilot program in Towers to
recycle materials was started on
May 1 by Ogden. Ogden admin­
isters facilities management for
MacAlister, the PEAC and the
residence halls. This is a pilot
p ro g ram in Tow ers because
Ogden wants to see how effec­
tive and how profitable the pro­
gram co u ld be. Towers was
picked because it was the easiest
to organize the placement of the
c o n ta in e rs on each floor.
Calhoun was included with the
pilot program probably because
the existing student-run recy­
cling program made it easier to
integrate.
You m ay w o n d e r how the
trash haulers and facilities man­
agement will save money?
As I u n d e rs ta n d it, Ogden
would theoretically spend less
money since trash pickups will
be less frequent. Each container
costs a certain am ount to take
away.
Therefore if the containers
are filled up less frequendy, then
fewer containers will have to be
emptied, saving money.
S an tan g elo , D rex el’s o u t­
sourced waste hauler, will save
money since recycling will allow
it to be more flexible in its trash
pickup schedule.
ServiceMaster, which handles
the rest of the campus facilities
m anagem ent (those buildings
which Ogden doesn’t cover), is
working on getting a recycling
company to sort out the recyclables.
Currently nothing has been
started in these areas and it is
still in the planning stage.
My hope is that the adminis­
tration, Ogden, ServiceMaster
and the trash haulers will see
how recycling will not only help
out the environment, but will be
less expensive for them.
I hope they establish a con­
tinuing recycling program that
will last long after I have left this
school.
I would remind everyone that
recyclables such as glass, alu­

Nick
DiFranco
Well, folks, another round of
USGA elections has come and
gone, and the usual election-time
controversy has started up.
Last year, we were concerned
about Ann de Vona’s unopposed
campaign, her relative unfamiliar,ity to the Drexel community due
to her transfer status, and the fact
that her age separated her from
the traditional student body.
This year is no different, as
most of you have probably seen,
as the not-so-stunning Greek vic­
to ry — and the subsequent
Triangle coverage — sent shockwaves across cam pus. Steve
Martorano’s election to USGA’s
top post, and nods which went to
his fratern ity and soro rity
brethren, has stirred up what may
be the biggest campus buzz since
10,000 Maniacs graced the PEAC
stage.
Now, I’m not concerned with
the election at all. As a matter of
fact, I thought the Greek ticket
ran a hell o f a campaign. They
focused their resources and had
their eyes on the prize from day
one. You think James Carville
thought any differently when he
ran Clinton’s campaign in ’92? I
doubt it.
A few campaign posters disap­
peared from cam pus b u lletin
boards. A pity, but my life was
hardly affected. After all. I’d like
to think that no election should
com e down to who owns the
most bulletin-board real estate.
No, none of that really both­
ered me. After aU, this is a democ­
ratic election, right? And when
the chips are dow n, i t ’s the
informed populace that should
make the right decision, poster
scandals be damned.
But, see, that’s where I have my
problem. The informed populace
didn’t speak. It didn’t even whis­
per. No, this year the Greeks won
an election by using ineligible vot­
ers. They used sheep.
Now, I may be wrong, and my
GPA does say I’ve made my share
of mistakes, but nowhere in the
student handbook is there a bill of
voting rights for farm animals. I
checked.
' No, the student handbook says
— in som ew hat o u tm o d ed
phraseology — that “Every stu-
dent who pays tuition and general
fees autom atically becom es a
member of the student govern­
ment and may participate in the
Student Congress [that’s USGA,
kids], vote and hold an office.”
I have no problem with the
participation part, and the hold­
ing office section is swell. It’s the
voting part of it that kind of irks
me.
It’s not clear enough. There
should be rules against things like
“cheat sheets.” Actually, there
sh o u ld n ’t. We sho u ld n ’t need
them.
People who vote in any elec­
tion — I d o n ’t care if it’s for
President of the United States or
Em ployee o f the M onth —
should have some knowledge of
the people running. It was obvi­
ous last week that many of the
herd had no idea. Doubt me? Ask
the voter who was miffed that the
candidates were listed in the
wrong order on her sheet.
And, just to be fair, I had no
idea who the candidates were
either. Lynne Capraro? Jason Di
Rosa? The former is a complete
mystery to me, and the latter just
a shade better.
No, all of you people out there
who voted with your letters and
not with your heads, you’re all
sheep. If you gave some thought
to the campaign, weighed the
choices before you and made con-,
scientious decisions, you’re not a
sheep. You’re a real voter. But if
you just went down the list think­
ing you were doing the right
thing, well, you’re wrong. All you
did was perpetuate the exact same
stereotype you so vehem ently
deny.
The Greek ticket, while
proposing a veritable revolution
at the University, actually stands
for just another year of the status
quo — the only change is that it’s
some else’s status quo. While 25
percent of the student body prob­
ably has the leadership they (or
their brothers) wanted, 75 percent
of the population is stuck with a
president who didn’t even bother
considering them in his platform.
That’s power to the people.
So, Jane and Joe Independent,
when you’re kept awake next fall
by the stereos on Fraternity Row,
don’t bother crying to USGA for a
cam pus noise ordinance. And
when your roommate’s pledge rit­
uals include puking and pissing
all over your room, 1 wouldn’t
expect much sympathy from the
Judicial Board, either.
Hey sheep, feel like crying
“stereotype?” Well, let me assure
you that you fully deserve it. This
campaign wasn’t underhanded. It
wasn’t dirty. It just took complete
advantage of you and your free
will. And if group-thou^t is your
bag o f chips, well, 1 wish you
many happy years of being some­
one else’s lapdog. And even more
of being walked on.
Think about that for a while.

When not working with his
own band, Henry Rollins says he
likes to produce young, upcom­
ing bands which would other­
wise be ignored by the m ain ­
stream.
Die C h eerleader, w ith its
album Son of Filth definitely falls
into this category. This all-girl
band (well, there is one token
male) screams and slams around
with its h a rd -h ittin g mix o f
punk and heavy metal noise.
U n fortun ately th eir crashboom-bang technique of musicmaking tends to m ^ e it difficult
to differentiate one song from
the next. Most of the songs deal
with power and the question of
who has it and how the singer
can obtain it. Otherwise it deals
with general attitu d e a d ju s t­
ments which should be made by
someone.
The song “Remember Zelda”
is filled with lyrics such as “I
think you’ve gpt an ugly attitu d e/I th in k you need to be
m ore th an you th in k you
should,” but if you listen to the
album the music will be drown­
ing this out so you won’t really
be listening to this anyway.
If you should ever feel the
urge to grab a pair of boots and
go th rash in g , th en keep this
album in mind.

The m em bers of Steel Pole Bath Tub sharing a cigarrette, a Coke and a smile.

I guess it’s getting pretty hard
to come up with a band name
nowadays. After all, some of the
b est ones have alread y been
tak en - like Devo, T alking
H eads, The Flying Lizards. I
guess the pickings are p re tty
slim . Some b an d s have even
been forced to call themselves by
their most prom inent member
(Rollins Band, Dave Matthews
Band, The Band, etc.).
So, when the guys from Steel
Pole Bath Tub got together, I
think they probably had a differ­
ent name. Maybe it was We’re in
it for the Chicks, or White Meat,
or even The Croutons — we’ll
m ost likely never know. It’s a
shame. But, after finding out
that some other obscure bands
had the same name, they had to
change their name. Then, they
faced the incredible obstacle of
com ing up with a CD title —
Scars From Falling Down was the
result.
But it really doesn’t m atter
what you call it, it’s still great.
The vocals remind me of early
Jane’s Addiction. They have a
way of centering your mind on
just listening and enjoying the
m usic and n o th in g else. I ’ve
never done yoga, but I have a
feeling it would have the same
effect.
D o n ’t get m e w rong here,
kiddies, this album isn’t a peace­
ful jaunt through the rose gar­
dens — it’s a cynical, full-tilt
blast of nothing less than rock.
It’s hard, yet melodic. It’s kind
of like Jack Nicholson. While he
might have been doing things
that “society” would consider
wrong, you still loved to see him
do it.
Imagine Pink Floyd has sud­
denly q u it all th e dru g s and
sobered up. Now that they’re
co n scio u s, they realize how
crappy the world they live in is.
T hey decide th e best way to
gripe about it would be to make
a hard rock record. That’s really
th e only way to describe the
style.
So far, I haven’t gotten sick of
playing this record. That’s really
an a c co m p lish m e n t. If you
know me, you know that I’ve
been known to play a CD once
and then file it away to a giant
vault. But somehow Steel Pole
Bath T u b has survived my
w rath . For th at alone, this
album deserves credit.
Maybe they should change
th eir nam e to The U nsigned
Band. At least that way they’d be
assured of getting played in end­
less rotation on WDRE (the sofar-underground-that-they’redead station). W ho knows, it
could happen. But until that
time, go and search for these
guys under S. You’ll like what
you find.

Eww, I think I stepped in bub­
ble gum. You might remember
Jamie Walters from his musical
exploits on the television show
The Heights. Or maybe you heard
o f his o n -ag ain , off-again
engagement with now ex-girl­
frien d
D rew
B arrym ore.
Currentiy he can be found play­
ing the struggling musician type
on Beverly Hills 90210.
In an interview Jamie said he
accepted the role on 90210 so he
could better promote his forth­
coming album. Well, the album
is upo n us and it can be filed
under pop. Several stations are
already playing the song “Hold
On,” and it is currently climbing
the charts.
If you don’t already know the
basics of any generic pop album,
let me fill you in. A glossy cover,
m aterial which all deals with
relationships, and song titles 'C o m fo rt o f S tran g ers,” “The
Distance,” “Drive Me,” “Release
which are taken from the chorus
Me” and “Perfect World.”
line and show how shallow the
I won’t plague you with the
song’s meaning is.

True to form, this album fits lyrics. One consolation — the
right in there with the rest of beat of the album is pretty perky
so if you have to clean your
them with song titles like “The

Melissa Ferrick really needs to get some more sleep.
Monica Cimini
Staff Writer
Melissa Ferrick will be one to
watch out for. With strong gui­
tar riffs and feminist lyrics, it
would remind your parents of a
Janis Joplin album, or better ) et,
iriagir-e Sheryl Crow screami ig.
Th< album is arranged almost
like a book, sd the songs carry
right into each other w ithout
any ja rrin g in te rru p tio n s .
Starting off slow and moving
faster into folkish dance tunes, it
finally cools off with mellow
melodies. But watch out, as the
music slows the messages get
more intense and keyed up.
“Gotta Go Now” analyzes the
stupidity of racial slurs, “Willing
to Wait” is about the patience a
person can have to get through
abuse and mental cruelty. It is
follow ed by th e song “ I Am
Done,” which proclaims she is
done falling in love.
So after this emotional roller
coaster it all finishes with “Time
Flies,” which is meant to remind
us that in the end everything
passes and there is always hope
for things to get better. I recom­
mend you pop in this CD, draw
up a couple of protest posters,
and if need be go burn a bra —
or b e tte r yet, convince your
friend to burn her bra.

G ood th in g s do com e in
small packages. Lisa Cerbone’s
Blue Frog disc packs a punch
with just three tiny morsels of
sound.
Her voice sounds angelic and
yet properly heated could melt
butter like a cross between Lisa
Loeb o f Lisa Loeb and Nine
Stories and Susanna Hoffs of the
Bangles.
She is backed up by pure,
untainted music. This cross of
strong vocals and rough music
gives the impression of being at
a live concert. Even better, the
song “Blue Frog” is covered
twice in an album and a radio
mix.
In either case you will be lis­
tening to a story of dreams and
biological realities. “Close Your
Eyes” is the tale of all the differ­
ent sorts of birthday surprises
one can get when p ro p erly
imagining.
All in all, despite being very
short. Blue Frog is a very light
m elodic disc with some deep
messages hidden inside.

In the last elimination round,
Drexel faced Northeastern on
May 16 for the second time in
the to u rn a m e n t. This game
resembled the first meeting of
the to u rn a m e n t betw een the
Huskies and the D ragons.
Doiron was the pitcher for both
games, Drexel scored nine runs
and Northeastern was limited to
one earned run.
Doiron picked up his second
complete game of the to u rn a­
ment, striking out a season-high
10 while walking three. He gave
up one earned run off five hits to
improve his record to a teamleading 9-3. Offensively, the
whole team co n trib u ted with
nearly everybody getting a hit
and scoring a run. Right fielder
Matt Sperling, left fielder Ryan
Ross and J. Shannon all recorded
a pair of RBIs in the 9-2 Dragon
victory.
Throughout the tournament,
D oiron led the D ragons. He
pitched two complete games in
the tournam ent, allowing five
runs off 12 hits while striking
out 15 and walking five. His
pitching earned him a place on
the all-tournament team. Along,
with his pitching, he also led
Drexel offensively. He was 12-23
for the tournament, with eight
runs scored, two triples, a home
run and four RBIs. He was also
named the tournam ent MVP.
He finished the season with 85
hits, 59 RBIs and 20 wins — all
Drexel records.
Drexel ends its season with an
overall reco rd o f 32-27.
Although they finished the regu­
lar season in fifth place in the
North Atlantic Conference, they
finished the tournament in sec­
ond place.
Although the Dragons ended
their season with a loss, Drexel
enjoyed the most successful sea­
son in its history. Their 32 victo­
ries broke the record set by last
year’s squad. Six-year head
coach Don Maines has steadily
improved the program, estab­
lishing school records for num­
ber of wins in a season the past
four years.

were the scores for the NAC
baseball championships.
It seemed th at Drexel, the
number five seed, won, beating
third-seeded New Ham pshire
10-2 to advance to the next
round. I think I read that a cou­
ple of times to make, sure I read
it correctly.
I then had to call my room ­
mate to see how the team did in
the first round of the to u rn a­
m en t ag ain st seco n d -seed
Northeastern. When my room ­
mate informed me they won, I
was totally ecstatic.
H e arin g they won b o th
games they played so far really
made my day. For the rest of the
day, I was in a good mood. In
the double elimination tourna­
ment, the Dragons were unde­
feated.
They m anaged this feat by
playing ball the way they did in
the beg in n in g o f the season.
They got the timely hits, played
strong defense and got strong
pitching from their starters. It
also did n ’t hurt that they had
two of their best pitchers on the
mound.
When I found out that their
next opponent was going to be
Delaware, I was filled with
mi.xed feelings. For Delaware to
be our next opponents meant
they escaped the second elimi­
n atio n ro u n d in the d ouble
elimination format of the tour­
nament.
I th o u g h t th a t was a good
sign. If Drexel beat Delaware
then the Blue Hens w ould be
eliminated. But it also made me
nervous. Delaware was the only
NAC team able to c o n tro l
Drexel during the regular sea­
son.
W ith the knowledge th at if
they lose they are o u t o f the
to u rn a m e n t, D elaw are will
probably play h a rd e r and be
tougher to beat.
We have some of
the best players in
the conference and
nobody comes out
to see them play.
I only wish I could have been
there. Without a car, it was dif­
ficult to get dow n to
Wilmington to see the tourna­
ment'. Being busy with school
and work, I didn’t make it to as
m any games as I would have
liked during the regular season.
In all the games that I went
to, I think I was one of the few
spectators who was not related
to or friends of somebody on
the team.
I think that says something
about the school. We have some
of the best players in the confer­
ence and nobody comes out to
see them play.
Unfortunately, Delaware won
the May 15 game to force Drexel
to play th e last e lim in a tio n
round against Northeastern the
next day. The Dragons escaped
elimination with a decisive 9-2
victory.
The only dow nside is they
had to face Delaware again, this
time in the championship game
later that day. Delaware m ust
have Drexel’s num ber because
for the eighth time this season
the Blue H ens d efeated th e
Dragons to end the season.
With the end of the baseball
season com es the end o f the
sports section in The Triangle.
W hen I realized th is w ould
occur soon a couple of weeks
ago, I was relieved. It would give
me more time to spend on my
senior design project. I would
also be able to spend more time
at home than at The Triangle.
As the week got closer, I
started to feel a little sad. For
the past two terms I have been
living vicariously through the
various teams I have been cov­
ering.
At least I can end on the up
beat: num ber five seed Drexel
defying the odds and advancing
to the ch a m p io n sh ip game
against first-seeded Delaware.

Crew ends season w ith
C ham pionship regatta
CREW from page 24
lowing suit.
Finally, at the 1,000 m eter
m ark, th e race becam e wide
open as Temple launched them­
selves to a b o at-le n g th open
water lead over the rest of the
pack. Drexel responded with a
move of their own and moved
past Michigan into second place
as the field spread out and the
other crews began to fade.
W ith 500 m eters to go,
Drexel’s and Michigan’s boats
matched each other stroke for
stroke as they neared the review­
ing stands on Kelly Drive.
The last 10 strokes of the race
saw Drexel and Michigan surge
on each other depending upon
which boat’s oars happened to
be in the water at that time. By
less than a foot, Michigan passed
Drexel in the last stroke of the
race to nab the silver with Drexel
claiming the bronze.
H ead coach John S uter
rem arked, “I was particularly
im pressed w ith the fact th at
these Drexel crews were able to
perform against and beat schools
with rowers who had years more
experience. [With the exception
of] one rower, the varsity heavy­
weight and lightweight eights
had no pre-college experience
and only through hard work,
professionalism and dedication
were they able to reach this level
of success in a nationally recog­
nized regatta like the Dad Vails. 1
think it shows a lot about the
rowers and even more about the
passion they show for this, one
of the last truly amateur sports.”
So, with the last boat across
the finish line, the 1995 Dad Vail
Regatta came to a close and due
to the impressive Drexel perfor­
m ance this year, the Dragons
were awarded the m en’s point
trophy for the most boats in the
finds.
The o th e r D ragon boats
which participated in this year’s
Dad Vail included the novice
heavyweight eight, pair without
coxswain, and women’s heavy­
weight eight and novice four.
Later Saturday afternoon, the
Dragons quickly loaded their
eight-man shells onto a trailer
and headed north to Worcester,
MA for the
C ham p ion
International Collegiate Regatta
on Sunday, May 14.
The Champion Regatta is an
invitational regatta featuring 18
schools in the m e n ’s and
w om en’s varsity heavyweight
and lightweight eight divisions.
Due to their successful perfor­
m ance last year, the Dragons
were invited and traveled to
Worcester to complete their gru­
eling, five-race weekend.
The Drexel m e n ’s varsity
heavyweight and lightw eight
eight boats found themselves on
a trip to compete against crews
who were fresh off their seasonending b u ild -u p to the
Champion Regatta.
The lightw eights faced a
tough crew from Bucknell and
failed to make the grand final.
They finished third in the petit
final. The heavyweight eight was
able to row a splendid first heat
to make the grand final.
In the grand final, Drexel was
up against Temple for the sec­
ond time of the weekend as well
as a powerful Georgetown crew
and b oats from George
W ash in g to n, V irginia and
Williams.
The fifth race of the weekend
took its toll on the Drexel boat
as they finished sixth in a race
which saw Georgetown defeat
Temple by two lengths to take
the title.
After a very successful year
which saw Drexel crew claim
gold medals at the Mid-Atlantic
Collegiate C h am p io nsh ip s,
P h ilad elp h ia City C h am p ­
ionships, Kerr Cup and Cherry
Blossom Regattas and bronze
and silver medals in the Dad Vail
Regatta, the season finally came
to a close.

Drexel announces 1995 athletic hall of fame
inductees
Former Drexel University baseball, football and basketball stand­
out Charles Knapp, former soccer sensation Fred Gcrstcnfield and
longtime athletic trainer and head wrestling coach Douglas E. Frey
will comprise the Class of 1995 during induction ceremonies to the
Drexel University Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday, May 20, 1995.
The three will join some 94 other student-athletes, coaches and
administrators who have been enshrined in the Drexel Athletic Hall
of Fame since its inception in 1971 during festivities hosted at the
Sheraton-University City Hotel.
“Charles, Fred and Doug all enjoyed enviable athletic success and
distinguished themselves and Drexel University through their com­
mitment to'excellence and sportsmanship,” said Johnson Bowie,
director of men’s athletics. “We are proud to include them among the
elite athletics who have elevated the standards of athletic competition
at Drexel.”
Drexel men*s basketball signs second recruit
Norwalk, CT native A. Ross Neisler, Jr. has signed a national letter
of intent and will continue his athletic career as a member of the
Drexel University men’s basketball squad, head coach Bill Herrion
an n o u n ced . N eisler jo in s 6-2 guard Mike DeRocckis ou t o f
Spotswood, NJ, as the second fi-eshman to commit to the Drexel pro­
gram for the upcoming 1995-6 campaign.
“Ross is a very talented athlete who has a lot of potential,” said
Herrion. “He has a chance to be an excellent defensive player, and
offensively, he is very good in the open court. He will add to our
depth in the perimeter along with Mike. We are pleased that they
both have committed to Drexel and will [look] to them for ftirther

The S tructure o f c h a m p i­
onship tournaments is set up so
the team finishing first in the
conference will get the number
one seed in the to u rn am e n t.
With this in mind, Drexel fin­
ished the regular season in fifth
place and had to face the num ­
ber two seed in the conference.
N o rtheastern . If things h a p ­
pened the way they were sup­
posed to, Drexel w ould havr
been on its way to the first elimi­
nation round. Instead, Drexel
stole
the
victory
from
Northeastern to advance against
the w inner o f the New
Ham pshire-V erm ont contest.
Again Drexel defied logic and
stole another victory. This time
from the fourth-seeded New
Hampshire.
After two days o f action,
Drexel was the only team unde­
feated. The mighty Blue Hens
fell to the C atam o u n ts o f
Verm ont in game four o f the
tournament. With Delaware sur­
viving the second elim ination
round, the number one seeded
Blue Hens w ould be the
D rag o n s’ next o p p o n en ts.
Drexel wasn’t able to steal a vic­
tory from Delaware and had to
face N ortheastern again, this
tim e in the last elim in atio n
ro u n d . The H uskies were no
match for the Dragons as Drexel
won the contest to advance to
the ch am p io n sh ip ro u n d .
Drexel’s worst nightmare came
true as they had to face Delaware
again. Delaware is the only NAC
team to sweep Drexel this season
and they continued that trend in
the tournam ent. The Dragons
were no m atch for the Blue
Hens, dropping the game to end
their season.
For the second time in three
years, Drexel has made it to the
championship game in the NAC
baseball to u rn am en t. U n fo r­
tunately, they had to face regular
season champions the University
of Delaware. In the six previous
meetings between these teams
this season, the Blue Hens have
beaten the Dragons in every con­
test — the only team to do so.
Nothing changed in the tourna­
ment either. After beating the
num ber two and three seeds,
Drexel faced Delaware on May

15. With a Dragon victory, the
Blue Hens could have been elim­
inated from the to u rn am en t.
After two innings, Drexel held a
6-0 lead b u t was able to hold
Delaware quiet no longer. The
Blue Hens chipped away at the
Dragon lead until the score was
tied at seven in the eighth
inning. Delaware would go on to
score six more runs in the last
two innings to hand Drexel its
first

loss.
Sophomore pitcher Eric Moore
was handed the 13-7 loss.

May 16, D rexel ju m p e d to a

This season saw the Dragons
bring home three medals in its

m ance in two decades. The

The varsity lightweight eight
brought home a silver medal for
Drexel in a well-rowed final fea­
turing Toronto, Pitt, TennesseeC h attan oo g a, LaSalle and
Georgia Tech. The Dragon boat,

move out of the pack quickly
and open up a th re e -q u a rte r

Toronto extended its lead over
the field as they neared the finish
line and Drexel was able to hold
off a surging Tenn.-Chattanooga
crew to claim the silver, eight
seconds b eh in d the w inning
time.
“I th in k th at we rowed the
best possible piece we could have
in the finals. The whole season
we were plagued with problems
and bad rows, b u t S atu rd ay

right time and row to a medal
finish. The timing couldn’t have
been better,” said Widman.

M o th e r’s Day s ta rte d o u t
gloomy. I wasn’t able to go to
Maryland to visit my mother —
I d o n ’t have use o f a car.
In stea d , I w en t to th e Sundragon garage to work on my
senior design project.
W hen I got to the garage, I
found I had to recharge the bat­
teries again — somebody acci­
dentally unplugged the recharger. When I finally got around to
doing what I went down there
to do, so m eb o d y h ad “b o r ­
rowed” our other set of battery
cables. In short, I wasn’t having
a particularly good day.
To pass the time, I was read­
ing the spo rts section in the
Inquirer. I figured that would
put me in a good mood — the
Phillies and the Orioles won the
night before.
I was also curious to see how
