Plans announced: new program in
Architectural Engineering will begin next fall
by Patty Rose
Triangle Staff Writer
Dr. Richard E. Woodring, The
Dean o f the College of Engineering,
has announced the college's plans for
a new undergraduate program in ar­
chitectural engineering. This course of
study was previously available to
undergraduates only through the Even­
ing College.
With the suppt)rt of the Vice Presi­
dent for Academic Affairs, Dr. Ber­
nard Sagik, the Dean appointed Dr.
Bernard McNamee, « professor of
Civil Engineering, as director of the
new program.
Until it is considered a separate
department. Architectural Engineering
will be a division of the Civil
Engineering Department.
In an interview this week. Dr.
McNamee explained that the new cur­
riculum developed as a “ natural
outgrowth to structural engineering.
Combining the two programs has
become possible at this time because
of new computer developments.”
Among these advances is the in­
troduction of the Medusa System to the
university as an instructional device.
A kind of computer-aided design
and computer-aided manufacturing
(CAD/CAM), Medusa will enable its
user to draw a design directly into the
computer. Programs inherent to the
computer will automatically generate
three dimensional views o f a subject
with minimal information given. The
system is expected to be functional by
the middle of the Spring term.
Employment trend surveys indicate
a need for d esig ners whose
background includes experience with
computers. According to McNamee,
the university is unique in that it is the
only area school to emphasize such an
application.
An enrollment of thirty to forty in­
coming freshmen for the ’85-'86
school year is expected to initiate the
program. The College of Engineering
will contract several new instructors
to fill gaps in the faculty. The institu­
tion of two full-time lecturers and two
adjunct professors will begin in the fail
term of 1986. These professors will
also be responsible for conducting the
same courses in the Evening College.
The opportunity exists for freshman
students currently enrolled in the civil
engineering curriculum to obtain a
dual degree. That is, by .spending an
extra year of study in the University,
a graduate of Civil Engineering may
earn a Bachelor of Science in Architec­
tural Engineering Degree. The reverse
is also possible.

Student Congress held its twicemonthly meeting on Tuesday night.
Mr. Gary Hamme, the new Director
of Cooperative Education, was a guest
speaker at the meeting.
After making a brief presentation he
then fielded questions from Congress
members on his plans for the
department.
Student Congress president Bob
Jacobs, discussed plans for the in­
auguration of University President
William Gaither, which will take place
April 26th and 27th. Jacobs reported
that more information would be for­
thcoming. Student Congress expects
to sponsor a major social event in con­
junction with the inauguration.
Ann Goldberg, senior class presi­
dent, reported upon the activities of the
senior class. According to Goldberg,
the recent 150 days-to-go party was a
huge success. More activities have yet
to be planned.
Student Vice President of Financial
Affairs, Steve Rossman, gave an up­
date on the status of the new dor­
mitory. The approval for the dor­
mitory was rejected by city council and
the proposal must go back to the City
Planning Commission, The target date
of Fall, 1986 has not been ruled out
yet despite the delays.
The elections committee announc­
ed the tentative date for the Spring
elections will be May 7th and 8th. Ap­
plications to run for office will be
available in the beginning of the Spring

the Central Intelligence Agency,
where a major focus of his work was
gathering evidence on the reported
flow of weapons from Nicaragua to El
Salvador. His investigations desagreed
with official Reagan Administration
contentions used to justify U.S. policy
in Central America, and in 1983 MacMichael’s contract was not renewed.
Mac Michael made his first public
challenge of Administration policy on
June II, 1984 in The New York Times.
He has since been interviewed on
“ Nightline,” “ The Today Show,”
and “ Good Morning America,” and
has been featured in Time magazine.
According to MacMichael, “ The
whole picture that the Administration
has presented of Salvadoran insurgent
operations being planned, directed and
supplied from Nicaragua is simply not
true.”
He also stated, “ There has not been
a successful interdiction, or a verified
report of anas moving from Nicaragua
to El Salvador since April of 1981.
“ I think Congress and the public
should know that within the C.I.A.
there is pressure to bend information
to fit policy. It would be a terrible
tragedy if we ended up going to war
in Central America,”
On Tuesday evening, at 7:30 p.m.,
David MacMichael, a former C.I.A.
a n aly st,
w ill
speak
on
U.S./Nicaraguan policy in Mandell
Theater.
The program is being sponsored by
Drexel Central America Forum
(DCAF), the History and Politics
Club, Drexel Asbury Ministry, and the
Student Programming Association.
Dr. Doug Porpora, Assistant Pro­
fessor of Psychology and Sociology,
is a member o f DCAF. According to
Porpora, the group is compt)sed of
faculty members who meet weekly “ to
educate ourselves and others about
current hap p en in g s in C entral
America.”
He further explained, “ We chose
MacMichael bccause we like to bring
speakers who can add some unique in­
sight about what is going on in Cen­
tral America...It is very important to
hear what MacMichael has to say.”
Rev. Dean Snyder o f the Drexel
Asbury Ministry, also a member of
DCAF, agrees with Porpora. “ Mac­
Michael is very much sought after in
the media for his highly personal and
cHiitroversial view s.”
In 1981, MacMichael was given a Kdvin Michnowici contributed to this article.

A Food Service committee is being
formed to evaluate the current Food
Service situation.
Student Dean of Business, Donna
Benner, announced the possibility of
having a commencement ceremony for
business students similar to those in
the other colleges in the university.
Also during the meeting, Liz Luthe
was elected Secretary of Congress,
and Sheri Anella was elected as the
Student Dean o f Engineering. Im­
peachment hearings were held against
Junior Class Vice President Jim
Gallagher for excessive absences. By
vote of Congress, it was determined
that he would keep his office.
The next Student Congress meeting
will be February 5th at 7:30.

Drug use declines overall on college
campuses, while cocaine use still rises
College Press Service
Drug use among high school seniors
— this year’s college freshmen —
declined for the fifth consecutive year
in 1984 for all commonly-used drugs
except cocaine, the results of a nation­
wide survey released last week
indicate.
According to the survey, 5.8 per­
cent of the high school seniors ques­
tioned last spring had used ctKaine in
the most recent month., up from 4.9
percent the previous year. Among
students in the northeas.t section of the
country, the figure jum ped from 6.9
to 11 percent.
But use of all oth<!r drugs on the
survey — including LSD, PCP,
cig a re tte s, alco h o l, m arijuana,
sedatives and trmquilizers — was
down.
The percentage of regular marijuana
smokers, for example, dropped one-
down from the 1978 peak of 11
percent.
The contini!ing decline stems from
an increasingly widespread view that
drug use is risky and unacceptable
behavior, says survey director Lloyd
Johnston of the U niversity of
Michigan.
“ In the long run, this may be the
only battle in the war against drugs that
society can really win,” Johnston says
of the bid to change students’ attitudes
toward drug use. The attempts to con­
trol the supply and price of drugs are
likely to fail, he says.
But others, while accepting the
validity of Johnston’s methodology,
suggest other factors may account for
the continuing decline.
“ The use of achiever drugs, such as
cocaine, is going up, while the use of
relaxing drugs is going dow n,” notes
Kevin Zeese, director of the National
Organization for the Reform of Mari-
campus happenings

“ W e’re not so much solving the
drug problem as changing it.” Zeese
says.
Joanne Gampel, director of the
Center on Marijuana and Health, sug­
gests that students’ increased emphasis
on learning marketable skills is chang­
ing drug use habits.
“ People want to be energized,” she
says. “ Marijuana doesn’t do that.
Students can’t work while on mari­
juana, but they can while on cocaine.”
There are even signs of an increas­
ing cocaine habit among politically

con.servative college students, not nor­
mally drug experimenters, Gampel
says.
"O ne student at the University of
Maryland told me the word on cam­
pus is that students don’t feel cocaine
is a drug,” Gampel says. “ It’s just
something that gives you strength and
energy. They want to get ahead in the
world, so using something that gives
you energy is okay.”
Johnston dismisses these explana­
tions, arguing the increase in cocaine
use nationw ide since 1983 is
statistically insignificant.
What’s more, Johnston’s survey in­
dicates students are increasingly wary
of cocaine. In 1983, 74 percent’of
them said they thought there is great
risk in regular cocaine use. Last year,
that figure jumped to 79 percent.

up from 1983, do not reflect all-time

the percentage who said they had us­

nearly a percentage point lower than
the 1981 figure.
The survey also found:.
— Seniors’ use o f sedatives and
tranquilizers decline4 again.
— While there was no discemable
change in students' use of herion and
other opiates, their use of LSD con­
tinued a steady decline that began in
1980, and the use o f PCP remained
low af^er a precipitous drop between
1979 and 1982.
— There are no indications students
are replacing illegal drugs with
alcohol. The number reporting having
five or more drinks in one sitting dur­
ing the two weeks before completing
the questionnaire declined two percent
to 39 percent.
— The number of smokers, which
dropped by a third between 1977 and
1980, fell another two percent from
1983 to 1984. Fewer than one-fifth of
the seniors said they smoke daily.

New law
affects
college
spouses
Presents
College Press Service
A new divorce law which entitles
Californians to reimbursement of
money spent to put their husband or
wife through collegc promises to make
education costs part of divorce set­
tlements in other states and keep the
California court system busy for some
time, experts say.
The law, which went into effect
January 1st, says in divorce set­
tlements a spouse has a right to be
repaid — with interest — for money
spent to put his or her spouse through
college.
As many as 150 pending divorce set­
tlements in California alone could be
affected by the new law, one attorney
estimates.
At the same time the law went into
effect, the California Supreme Court
set a judicial precedent when it ruled
a woman who put her husband through
med school could recover 50 percent
o f the money, plus interest, following
her divorce.
In her divorce suit, first filed in
1979, Janet Sullivan asked the court
to force her former husband, Mark
Sullivan, to repay all money she paid
for Mark’s education as well as a share
of his ftiture earnings as a physician.
The court — like the new state law
— failed to address the issue of future
earnings, but did rule Janet Sullivan
should be partially reimbursed for the
money she invested in her husband’s
education.
“ The California law and court rul­
ing follow what has been happening
in many court cases around the coun­
try in the last several years,” notes
B.J. Anderson, of the American
Medical Association’s (AMA) legal
division.
“ The majority of jurisdictions have
pretty much gone the same way (as the
California Supreme Court ruling).”
she says, although no other slates have
passed laws for repaying spousal
education costs.

On December 9th, three brothers
from Sigma Pi assisted their national
office in the creation of a colony at
Villanova. The Beta Theta chapter at
Drexel will be the big brother chapter
for Villanova’s newest fraternity.
Beta Thcta is also the big brother
chapter for West Chester. The
Villanova chapter is off to solid start
with membership at forty-five.
How is a new fraternity is started
on a campus? At Villanova, there were
forty-five guys who had become close
friends through freshmen dormitory
life and realized the whole group
couldn’t pledge the same fraternity.
Therefore, they notified the National
Fraternity Council. R epresentation
from many of the major national
fraternities went to Villanova to make
their presentations.
Sigma Pi’s presentation was the last
one and as the Villanova’s colony
president said,“ There was no question
in any of the guys’ minds which frater­
nity we wanted to jo in .” The
Villanova colony members will be
considered pledges until the end of
their winter-spring term. At that time
the Beta Theta chapter and the national
office will introduce the Villanova

The event will take place at Pizza

In addition, the winners among
Drexel Fraternities and Sororities will
compete in a Championship Eat-Off

The increasingly strident debate
over how colleges with predominantlywhite student enrollments should ac­
commodate their black student popula­
tion may erupt anew in the coming
weeks as a guide that grades college
racial climates appears in bookstores.
Author Barry Beckham expects to
sell 10,000 copies of his Black Stu­
dent's Guide to Colleges, published
Dec. 14th, or about one for every 25
black students enrolled next fall.
The guide assesses 158 campuses’
efforts to meet black students’ needs.
Curricular offerings, counseling ser­
vices, social atmosphere and interac­
tion with the local community are
among the factors evaluated.
As with his first edition, published
in 1982, Beckham expects the guide
to produce a raft of complaints from
administrators who feel their schools
have been slighted.

University administrators are par­

Beckham has changed his method­

For the second edition, the number
of students who fill out the question­

Mac cable problems
Although you may not be aware of
it, Apple has packaged three different
printer cables with the Macintosh. A
problem has been discovered with one
of the cables. Anyone whose Macin­
tosh system has a white printer cable
with part number 590-0120-C, may
encounter printer problems with cer­
tain software.
When running these programs, the
printer will print one-half page, and
then will begin printing nonsense.
(,OVliRVUE, a database management
package is the only package which has
been identified to this date.) If you
suspect this problem, you may test
your document on a Drexel-owned
machine. (No Drexel machine has the
white cable.) If you identify other soft­
ware packages which cxibits this pro­
blem, please report it to the Micro
Hotline, 895-1766.
Apple has tenatively agreed to supp-
focusing on services geared to black
students, underscores the debate over
how universities should treat minori­
ty students' special needs.
Colleges need to meet those needs
if blacks are ever to have the same op­
portunities as others, Beckham says.
“ If you’re a white Christian male,
you can do anything." Beckham
asserts. “ If you’re a Jewish male, you
can do a bit less. If you're a black
male, you can do still a bit less."
Opponents of special programs to
meet those needs, however, argue the
programs can be unfair to white
students or can isolate black students
from predominantly-white student
bodies.
Regardless of the programs’ effec­
tiveness, mostly-white colleges are
having a harder time recruiting enough
black students to meet their integra­
tion goals.
The number o f black college
students declined slightly from 1980
to 1982, the most recent period for

Un-namable
horrors
c,
A group of us got together one day
to complain about things. We started
off typically enough. It was too cold;
m idterm s w ere im m possible;
somebody’s lab partner didn’t unders­
tand him. Then Buck, a business ma­
jor. said, “ I have a lecturer who keeps
waking me up every time I fall asleep
in class. It’s only an elective, for cry­
ing out loud!”
We all expressed our sympathy.
Thus encouraged. Buck went on, “ I’m
thinking about writing a letter to The
Triangle with my name withheld to
complain about it.”
“ Why withhold your name?“ I ask­
ed. “ What in the world is anybody go­
ing to do if you have your name at the
bottom of the letter?”
There was an embittered laugh from
the back of the group. All eyes look­
ed to see who had laughed, and we saw
that it was Paul Krep, an engineering
student on the eight-year plan. His
wisened face bore the mark of years
of labs and flnals, and although his
bent frame (crushed beyond repair,
they said, by a twenty-six credit term
six years earlier) gave hin the gait of
a man four times as old as he, we still
looked to Paul Krep as an endless font
of wisdom. “ What will anyone do?”
he said in his cracked and withered
voice. “ What, indeed?”
Fond of the man as I am, it bothers
me when Krep talks cryptically.
“ What do you mean, O venerable
one?” someone asked.
Krep smiled mirthlessly. “ Never,
never include your name in a letter to
The Triangle. Never make the saii\e
mistake I made.”
Buck smiled smugly at me, then said
to Krep, “ What was it that happened
to you?”
Krep was silent for a moment, and
a far away look canie into his eyes.
“ Years ago, back when I was a
freshman,” he began, “ I wrote a let­
ter to The Triangle. I asked, in my let­
ter, why it was that only some of the
doors into the various buildings were
unlocked during school hours. Why
weren’t the crash bars on all the doors
screw ed open? That way, you
wouldn’t look stupid walking up to a
locked door and trying to open it when
there’s an unlocked door right next to
it.” At this, several people nodded
their heads, evidently more recent vic­
tims of the same conspiracy.
“ I signed my name to that letter,”
Krep continued,’’and they printed it.
Guileless, unknowing fool that I was,
I was happy they had done so. I
thought something might be done
about it.”
“ And was there?” a voice asked
softly.
Krep shook his head slowly.
“ Nothing is ever, ever done about
these things. Nothing except,” and
here he held up a long, bony finger,
“ what is done to the person who
writes the letter.”
There was a moment o f silence
before I asked, “ What happened?”
Krep’s eyes narrowed. “ At first, 1
didn’t notice anything. Every now and
then , I found myself locked outside
a classroom, but I looked upon such
things as coincidence. Until one day,
I turned a corner in a hallway in time
to see a man from Physical Plant lock­
ing the door after all the other students
went inside. He was caught redhanded, but instead of letting me in,
he just sneered at me and said, ‘Write
letters to The Triangle, will you?’ For
the rest o f the term, 1 was unable to
get into Chemistry recitation once, and
from that day to this whenever I try
to get into Commonwealth, all the
doors are locked.”
“ W ow ,” someone said. That neat­
ly summarized how all o f us felt.
“ But that’s not the worst of it,”
Krep added. “ Two weeks after the let­
ter was printed, the Vice President for
Disciplinary Affairs called me into his
office and told me that I had the choice
between repeating my first term or be­
ing brought up in municipal court on
charges of inciting to riot and indecent
exposure. The administration had fak­
ed pictures of me sitting in the Great
Court wearing only a Drexel scarf. I
had no choice but to pay the piper.”
"A ll this for signing your name to
a letter to the editor?” I asked
incredulously.
Paul Krep fixed his gaze, still bright
and piercing after all these years, on
me. “ If you think,” he said gravely,
“ that the faculty, staff, and administra­
tion o f the university have something
better to do than to pursue vendettas
against people who openly speak their
minds about reasonable problems, then
you’re living in a fantasy. This is the
real w orld, not g ra d e school
anymore.”
“ A h,” we all said in unison, appicciating the subtle wisdom and in­
sight into the Way Things are Done
at Drexel that time alone can give to
a student. All of us left the conversa­
tion a little wiser than we were before.
Dorm fire
Editor:
I am writing this letter to express my
outrage about an incident that occured
in Myers Hall
Last Friday night one o f the
residents set fire to the carpet in front
o f another student’s room after jam­
ming the door so it could not be open­
ed from the inside. Fortunately, no one
was injured but if not for the fire resis­
tant construction the damage could
have been disasterous.
I am very upset that a student would
resort to violence. I would like to think
that we left our violent tendencies in
high school but I guess some of us
haven’t grown up yet.
I hope this person is quickly iden­
tified and expelled. There is enough
violence in this section of the city
without us adding more from within.

Requiem for a book bag
by Tom Kreitzberg
The other afternoon, my backpack
exploded. The zipper had bwn steadily
deteriorating, with chronic splits ap­
pearing along the top, but it held firm
enough to hold my books and sundry
articles for over two years. Until
Tuesday.
I was going into the Creese complex
when 1 heard a soft tearing noise and
felt my books fall to the ground. 1
quickly scooped them up before many
people noticed, and wrapped them up
in the remnant of my backpack. Hur­
rying to the University Store, I bought
more than just books to get a blue
Drexel bag to carry my stuff home.
I look at my backpack, and think of
what a good friend it has been to me
over the years. I can remember buy­
ing it in the bookstore, and being
shocked at how much it cost (I put it
on my charge account and let my
parents worry about it, though). For
the first few days, I carried it around
by the handle on top, being much too
self-conscious a freshman to sling it
over one shoulder, the way the degage
upperclassmen did. (Even as the
greenest of college students, I knew
better than to use both shoulder
straps.)
The third or fourth day of class, I
was leaving the Main Building by the
Chestnut Street exit when, for the first
time in my life. 1 swung my new
backpack across my left shoulder,
hooking my thumb into the strap the
way I had seen it done. There was at
that moment bom a feeling inside me,
which, up until that time (and the
homework I had already done not
withstanding) 1 had never felt; I was
a college student.
I can remember how sore my
shoulders were that first term, and
how rapidly the seams of the straps on
the backpack began to give way when
I was in the ingenuous habit of carry­
ing my calculus and my chemistry
books to class every day. Since then,
of course. I’ve realized that you almost
never need a textbook in class, and the
shoulder straps haven’t gotten any
closer to giving way than they were
two years ago.
As we got used to each other, 1
began to feel comfortable only when
wearing my backpack. Crossing the
quad without something pressing down
on my shoulder made me feel
awkward, almost naked. My gait com­
pensated for the backpack, so I walk­
ed with a limp whenever I wasn’t
wearing it. My arm flopped around
aimlessly when it couldn’t be tucked
into a strap.
The backpack and I have travelled
a lot of miles together. Not just to and
from classes every day, but also on co­
ops and camping trips. It’s lugged gym
clothes, clean underwear. Shuttle Im­
aging Radar pictures, and, at times,
even beer for me during my collegiate
career.
But now this is all past. We had
some good times together, but now it’s
time to move on. I need a new
backpack. I stopped in the University
Store to buy one (on charge, of course,
only these days, I pick up that bill),
and was very dismayed by the selec­
tion. I'hcv were out of the style of
backpack I’m used to and instead of­
fered a selection of unactcpttihle alter­
natives which either felt like they weie
made out of Econo-Buy nylon or were
only two or three inches deep.
Although I no longer carry textbooks
with me, I want the luxury of room
my old backpack afforded. A * l Ae
colors offered! Bright pink and
lavender backpacks? I would much
rather go without than to own such a
gaudy item, in mocking contrast to the
dark blue of my old one.
I asked the saleslady for help, to sec
if they had any in stock which could
take the place of my friend. She found
some tote bags for me, but they
weren’t even worth looking at. 1 left
with a sense of defeat; 1 don’t think
the saleslady really understood what
I needed.
So I still don’t have a backpack.
Bookstore bags have been doing the
job for the last couple o f days, but
they’re tacky and difficult to carry for
long periods o f time. Maybe I ’m be­
ing unreasonable in expecting to
replace my friend with an exact
duplicate. Maybe it’s time I moved up
to a seventy dollar briefcase. But,
somehow college won’t be quite the
same.
Lemmings to see
" ■W
by Scott Render
It is widely known that some time
in the future, all the buildings of
Philadelphia (including Drexel U.) and
most of its population will be gone.
The natural geography of the area will
once again surface, with a few odd
changes here and there. The beings
who will inherit flucky them) this area
are the lemmings.
Scientific knowledge (the most
popular fact) about these small furry
animals is that every once in a while
they enjoy a suicidal march off a cliff
into the ocean. The reason for their
genocide is unknown. Why they go oft'
into the ocean is: lemmings have no
idea about conventional suicide
(shooting oneself, taking pills, etc...)
and use the ocean for their burial
ground. Lemmings do not have tiny
shovels, and therefore do not believe
in cemetaries.
One fine day in a grassy meadow,
I had a small chat with a lemming.
“ Why does your species act in such
an irrational way?”
“ We are biding our tim e,” it said,
smiling, “ waiting for the extinction of
the human species. Once they are
gone, our population can grow, and
the suicides can cease. We will then
reproduce quite rapidly, filling the en­
tire world with our furry bodies.”
“ Interesting. But why?”
“ W e’re greedy, and will do
anything to accomplish our task. The
suicidal maneuvers of today are only
done to keep the population in check
until the day it can explode without
bounds.”
"Incredible. What will you do with
the Earth after your goal is achieved?”
“ One lemming will go to the highest
peak on land and shout out loud the
funniest joke ever head. All the lem­
ming kind will hear this, laugh for
about five years continuously, then
make preparation for the world’s
largest vegetarian barbecue.”
"W hat?”
“ By that time, the Universe will
have collapsed into a giant black hole.
Everything will be gone, and all of us
will go to our deaths just a little bit
happier.”
“ That’s some tale. I don’t believe
it.”
The tiny face looked at me and said,
“ Hey, believe it or not.” He then mar­
ched off toward a nearby cliff. Before
he jumped, he turned to me and smil­
ed. "Tell all the human types for us
little guys. Thanks for the memories. ’’
He then proceeded to dive into the icy

Is Th e Force' with us?
O P IN IO N S
by J. Saunders
Two sides to Krishna movement
b> Kdward Hartnett
It is common to think that religions
which seek support from harried
travelers in airports, shaming them in­
to donating a dollar or two, are gigan­
tic frauds. The devotees who swarm
around the hapless passer-by are
thought to be. at best, teenage zealots,
enticed away from their families and
friends, or, at worst, rapacious con­
fidence men.
Although I have been in interna­
tional airports several times I have
never been subjected to such an
onslaught. I’ve sometimes wondered
if such people are really as awfiil as
they are frequently made out to be.
Recently I was in the Los Angeles
International Airport returning to my
home in Florida after spending the first
week of my holidays in Pasadena. On
th<
.y (o the boarding gale I was
stopped by a polite, well dressed
young iii.in. He asked me to help sup­
port so'iie food kitchens that his
organization was sponsoring for the
homeless on Christmas day. In return
for my mixlest donation, I received
two books and his wishes for a safe
journey. As I walked away, I realiz­
ed that he never had said what
organization he represented, but at no
time did I doubt his sincerity.
I examined the two books more
closely after checking in for my flight.
I was surprised to learn that these
books were di.stributed by the Inter­
national Society for Krishna Conciousness. One was a paperback, a
vegetarian cookbook, called The
Higher Taste, A Guide to Gourmet
Vegetarian Cooking and a KarmaFree Diet, the other, a well-bound
hard cover, was the Bbagavati-Gita As
It Is, by His Divine Grace A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
c
The Bhagavad-Gita is a portion of
the particular religious text that is the
basis of the Krishna Movement. While
browsing through these two b<K)ks I
noticed a rather unusually dres.sed lady
distributing more btx)ks to the other
people waiting in the airport lounge.
She was of medium height and slim
build. Clad in a flowing purple dress,
she carried a brown leather bag over
one shoulder and wore a picture I .D
pinned to her dress, to prove that she
was really was a member of the
Krishna Movement. Occasionally she
removed a handful of books from the
bag and gave them away, one at a
time, to people reluctant to accept
them.
Coming upon two men who pro­
tested that they spoke no English, she
displayed that she spoke Spani.sh. In­
trigued by her interesting appearence,
and tired of wailing for my flight, I
asked if I might speak with her briefly.
She was wary. The Krishna move­
ment has often recieved bad press and
perhaps its members are leery, and
justifiably so, of outsiders associated
with the news media. She was not
authorized to speak for the movement,
she said. Apparently, however, her
desire to converse with someone who
would listen outweighed her suspi­
cions and eventually she cautiously
consented to answer a few questions
about herself, as long as it didn't take
long.
Her name was Carol and, although
I didn’t ask her age, I guessed she was
at least thirty-five years old. She said
she had been involved in the Krishna
movemeni for the past thirteen years.
She had been seeking fullfilment of her
entire life before that. She tried to find
a
it in the Peace Corps, for three years,
and after that as a Catholic nun. She
was involved for a few years with
Unicef.
Throughout and despite these at­
tempts to find completeness, she felt
there was something missing in her
life. She wanted to serve God, she
said, and she wanted to serve
humanity.
While working for Unicef, Carol
read the Bhagavad-Gita As It Is, and
although she had read other transla­
tions of this religious text, none had
affected her as much as this one. She
joined the movement, the International
Society for Krishna Consciousness.
Her home temple is now in New York,
and the movement flew her to the west
coast for a month to distribute books
in an airport, and perhaps to share
something with the people she en­
countered there.
It was time for me to board my
flight, and time for her to get back to
work. I hurriedly gathered my belong­
ings and thanked her for her time. She
thanked me for my interest and with
a quiet "H are Krishna” turned to the
nearest traveler, extending before her
a book and a smile.
Throughout the flight I thought
about all the things I had ever heard
about the Krishna movement. I
thought about the pleasant young lady
I had talked to in the airport lounge.
I glanced through the two books I had
recieved from a friendly looking guy
in a sports jacket and tie.
1 know very little about the Krishna
movement, I only spoke to two
members of an organization which
spans the globe. They seemed like
awfully nice people to me.
m
c
deceitful part comes in. Docs the
United States really want a world
without nuclear weapons?
Back in the late forties and early fif­
ties, it was the U.S. that started the
arms race by implementing something
called “ nuclear deterrence” . Contrary
to contemporary opinion, “ deter­
rence” does not refer to the ability to
reply in kind to a nuclear attack.
Rather the idea was and is to deter a
conventional Soviet invasion of
Europe by the threat of anniliation. We
are no more prepared to successfully
defend against a conventional invasion
than we were in 1949. Reagan pro­
mises his policies will work for a
world completely free of all nuclear
weapons (even ours), he’s either
misinformed or lying.
1 don’t think he’s misinformed.
The Christian view
by Bill Smith
Have you ever taken the time to
think about how mighty a nation
America is and why it is so powerful?
We didn’t just start as an affluent na­
tion; we started as a wilderness to
which people came to escape religious
persecution.
These small groups of people took
several months to sail across a great
ocean in tiny wooden ships for the pur­
pose of serving God without being or
feeling restricted. Think o f all the
things they left behind and think about
what they were going to. They left not
only material goods but also close
family ties and friendships so that they
could worship and be close to God.
It’s hard for us today to think of so­
meone giving up a comparable amount
o f luxury for the poverty that the
Pilgrims gained. But God blessed
those people because they put their
faith in Him and from them He created
a mighty nation because they were an­
chored in Him.
As Christians we talk about serving
and trusting God and saying we do
make', us feel good about ourselves but
do v e really listen to God? Do we
really rely on Him? Do we tmst God
enough to do what He wants us to?
As a group, Christians have lost
something. We have become too
wrapped up in ourselves and in our
possessions. As strange as it sounds
we’ve lost our faith in God that He will
take care of us because of all the things
that He has given to us.
We now feel that we are self suffi­
cient and that God needs us more than
we need Him. Our possessions have
blinded us. In our high technology age
we see all the accomplishments of man
and what he has done. But we have
forgotten that all that man has has been
given to him by God, even our
abilities, talents, and personality. We
tend to overlook the simple things.
We get so entangled in our books
that we don’t think about who makes
the trees that make our books; or who
makes each snowflake different from
the others; or who put the metals in
the ground so that we could use them
to create industries. For the most part
we simply take nature for granted and
sometimes we feel that it gets in the
way of progress. But God is the One
who created all things, including
ourselves, and we don’t take the time
to be with Him or to enjoy His crea­
tion or to even thank Him for it.
We need to learn what true commit­
ment is and then commit ourselves to
God. He has already promised that He
would take care o f all of our needs
[Matthew 6:25-34], All we need to do
is put our faith and trust in Him and
only Him. When we finally do, we
will understand what motivated the
Pilgrims to leave Europe and then God
will be able to see us and bless us
much more than He already has.

FREE COMEDY AFTERNOON wuh
Steve ‘0 ’ and the Com edy A ll Stars
2 pm
Despite the unarguable success of
bringing the Soviet Union back to
arms control talks in Geneva this
month, 1 find President Reagan’s claim
that the resumption of talks combin­
ed with the planned “ Star W ars”
defense program will lead to a
“ nuclear-free” world slightly exag­
gerated, not to .say deceitful.
To begin with, it was probably not
the Star Wars program (virtually im­
aginary at the moment) that brought
the Soviets back to negotiations but the
realization that the N.A.T.O. alliance
is strong enough to weather the storm
of U.S. cruise missile deployment. (It
is comforting to know our democratic
allies will simply ignore the wishes of
a large percentage of their people on
our behalf.) In fact, although space
weapons are on the Soviet agenda (to
which the administration refuses to
agree) its more likely they are referr­
ing to the militarization o f the space
shuttle, a palable threat, than to the
blackboards o f the P en tag on ’s
physici.sts.
The talks in Geneva could lead to
something productive, say a mora­
torium on nuclear arms constuction or
even a major reduction in the number
of missiles presently in existence. (It
would be nice to know we could
destroy the world only once over
rather than .seven or eight times over.)
But to say they will lead to a nuclearfree world is, I think, overstating the
point.
This is where the misguided, if not

Sorting out the rubble of
the seventies punk explosion
by K urt Sinclair
Triangle Staff Writer
During the past eight years, the
m usical revo lu tio n know n as
punk/new wave exploded into the
music industry, fizzled for a few years,
them smothered itself in a blanket of
pretentiousness. While this new music
era produced a sizeable heap of vinyl
garbage, it also turned out its share of
excellent performers and lef^ a trail of
quality recordings that have been
overlooked by nearly everyone.
A few o f the most impressive talents
remain and a few of the least im­
pressive are now popular; the rest are
archived to the cut-out section o f most
record stores. It is primarily these
groups that you should at least be
aware of so the next time you feel the
need to spend $8.49 for an album
you’ll glance at the cut-outs and .save
some bucks.
Here is a list of who to look for and
who to avoid. There arc a few bands
here which you will undoubtedly have
heard of, but, for one reason or
another, I have included.
Adam and the Ants: Avoid this
stuff. If you must buy something, buy
Kings o f the Wild Frontier. It is the
best in a series of successively worse
albums.
Black Flag: This is one o f the few
punk bands which has actually receiv­
ed a fair amount o f popularity. They
are one of the; best of the hardcore
bands and all of their albums deserve
your attention if hardcore interests you
at all.
The Boomtown Rats: With Bob
Geldof up front, the Rats have a large
worldwide following but are virtual­
ly unknown in the U.S. Their two best
LP’s are The Fine Art o f Surfacing and
its predecessor A Tonic fo r the Troops
(the imported version o f Troops con­
S quccM
tains two more tracks and is well worth
looking for). This Irish band has an
R&B, reggae-influenced sound and
deserves immediate attention because
they recently released a new album
and are due for a tour.
The Buzzcocks: You may have
heard o f this band because it
launched Pete Shelley on a solo career
but that is the least o f th eir
accomplishments. Their first and
clearly their best album. Singles Go­
ing Steady, is a compilation of eight
previously released singles, both A
and B sides. Rarely do you find six­
teen fantastic songs on one album but
you will here.
The Circle Jerks: If you saw Repo
Man you saw the Circle Jerks (if you
didn't see the movie, go see it). Group
Sex is the first and best record by this
thrashing punk band.
The Clash: Forget about Combat
Rock. Buy The Clash and Give ’em
Enough Rope, these first two albums
by The Clash are clearly the best. Joe
Stnimmer and Mick Jones were on
speaking terms when they released
these LP’s and it shows. The Clash us­
ed to hype themselves as “ the only
band that matters” and truly could
have been had they continued releas­
ing albums like these and their last
worthwhile album, London Calling.
Elvis Costello: Buy each of his ten
albums (except the country-flavored
Almost Blue unless you’re a true fan)
and sec if you can find a weak track.
Nothing more can be said.
The Cram ps: Rockabilly punk,
horror band style. Gravest Hits and
Songs the Lord Taught Us are the first
and best albums released by The
Cramps but all o f their albums are
great. Very highly recommended.
M arshall Crenshaw : Many critics
called his first album, Marshall Cren­
shaw, the best debut LP since Elvis
Costello’s My Aim Is True. They were
right.
Dead Kennedys: The DK’s are cur­
rently touring and will be appearing
at City Gardens within the next month
or so. Fresh Fruit fo r Rotting
Vegetables is one of the best hardcore
albums you’ll find. Plastic Surgery
Disasters is the most musically im­
pressive LP by the Dead Kennedys.
In God We Trust, Inc., contains ex­
cellent thrash. Buy them in that order
and you’ll find yourself at the concert.
The Dickies: Extremely fast, fan­
ny, impressive music. The Dawn o f
The Dickies is an excellent album, as
is The Incredible Shrinking Dickies.
The Dickies will also be appearing at
City Gardens in the near fature.
The Misfits: The Misfits are
another horror band. Their sound is
a unique blend o f hardcore and thrash
with a strong emphasis on music rather
than volume. Walk Among Us is the
album to look for.
. The Poltee: Buy their albums in the
order in which they were released.
There is a lot of talent here but, un­
fortunately, it is now being wasted as
The Police are succumbing to their
popularity.
The Ramones: O f course you’ve
heard of them and you’ve probably
ridiculed them. Can you honestly say
you’ve actually ever listened to them?
Buy Rocket to Russia, it’s cheap and
great.
Rockpile: The only album ever
released by this Nick Lowe, Dave Ed­
m unds, Billy B rem ner, T erry
Williams rockabilly combo was
Seconds o f Pleasure. That was five
years ago and it contained an E.P. with
four Everly Brothers tunes sung by
Nick and Dave. If you can find it, the
E.P. is well worth the cost.
The Sex Pistols: Not the most
talented group to emerge during this
era but The Sex Pistols were one of
the first and certainly the most hyped.
Never Mind the Bullocks, Here's The
Sex Pistols is Johnny Rotten’s master­
piece and the album to buy.
Siouxsie a n d the Banshees: Once
Upon a Time/The Singles is another
excellent singled compilation album
which can be found cheap and should
be bought immediately.
Squeeze: This now defunct band
combined the genious of Difford and
Tilbrook and produced some of the
best and most original pop music o f
recent history. Argybargy and East
Side Story should be a part of
everyone’s music collection. a.s should
the rest of their artistry.
The Stray Cats; This band did two
outstanding things during their four
year existance. They released the im­
port Stray Cats and they broke up.
Avoid anything done in between.
Don’t buy Built fo r Speed. Stray Cats
contains all of the gotxl tracks from
this album plus a bunch of great songs
unreleased in the U.S.
Talking Head.s: Nothing new can
be said about this band. The Talking
Heads represent t>ne of the few great
bands from the new music era to ac­
tually achieve a fair amount of success
in the U.S. for the right reasons.
The Undertones: Had they gotten
airplay, they would probably be one
of the most popular groups to surface
in recent history. They djdn’t, and they
broke up. In the meantime, however,
they released several great albums, the
most notable of which is The Under­
tones. Their style is similar to the poppunk (if that’s possible) style of The
Buzzcocks.
The Violent Femmes: This is the
most highly recommended band on
this list. First class punk-fnik followcontlnu«d on page 9.
Rock notes: Ramones join Jett at Tower
by Jay Friel
Triangle Staff Writer
Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers have
formed a new band called The
Firm. Their debut album entitled The
Firm (Atlantic Records) is due to be
released soon, but a preview single,
“ Radioactive” , was added to the
playlists of both WMMR and WYSP
this week, providing a tasty sample of
what is to come.

The Ramones will open for Joan Jett

If you go to a ski resort to sit in the
lodge and drink or dance, you'll love
the Poconos’ new Montage-, but if you
go there to ski, you'll be disappointed.
After driving through the winding,
treacherous, access road to the park­
ing lot, the hopeful skier must attempt
a walk down a long, snowy flight of
steps to the lodge. Another walk
through the snow follows, this time to
the lifts, after purchasing a lift ticket
and donning boots and skis.
The lift ride is long and slow with
many interruptions from amateur
skiers who don't know how to get on
the lift and inexperienced lift operators
running them.
After reaching the "p eak ” o f the
“ mountain” the first time, all the trou­
ble seems worth it; but then you hit
the slopes. The long, slow, poorlyg ro o m ^ “ expert” runs give even the
beginners confidence.
The mountain was a disappointment.
It is a poorly planned out ski resort as
compared to neighboring Elk or
Camelback, but for the novice skier
who desires the long, slower runs.
Montage might prove to be enjoyable.

In its 8Sth season, the Philadelphia
Orchestra is unquestionably one of the
most respected and technically vir(uoistic orchestras in the world,
generally acclaimed as being one of
the top five.
The three pieces featured at their
four performances earlier this month
(January 10, I I , 12, 15) were
melodically rich symphonic opuses
which, mesmerizing in their brilliance
and richness. Guest conductor Klaus
Tennstedt, internationally renowned as
the musical director and principal con­
ductor of the London Philharmonic
Orchestra, molded the sixty-plus
ensemble with emotionally dynamic
interpretations of the three early twen­
tieth century works by Richard Strauss
and Paul Hindesmith.
The first piece, Strauss’ “ Till
Eulenspiegels lustige Striche,” was
originally written as a one-act opera;

I think a l(H of people lend lo gel c o n f u ^
Iheite days, when they hear lelevi.sion an­
nouncers talk about some college football or
basketball star from Jockstrap U being a " re d
shin freshm an” or a " h ardship sophom ore”
wh*) still has X number o f years left lo compete.
In both cases, or course, they're talking about
how much eligibility the kid has left. But the
problem is, sometimes the guys behind the mike
use the two phrases without proper explana­
tion, almost Inlerchangably it seem s, so that
pretty soon M r. Joe Fan on the streel starts
thinking that they're the same thing.
R ed-shining and hardship have about as
much in com m on as the thoroughbred and the
dance-hall player; though they appear
somewhat the same, they are as different as
night and day. And it's im poruni, I think, to
explain the differences, because of the ways
they can affect the athlete involved.
The basic difTerence ii this: the hardship rule
is designed as a safety net for an athlete who
suffers serious injury, because it still gives him
a chance to play his full four years. Redshining, on the other hand, is a designed
mechanism by th<: coaches supposedly for the
benefit o f the athlete, but w hich in many cases
is really just a tool they can use to insure their
future as a coach, some life insurance against
a bad recruiting year or a p(x>r season.
First, a bit of explaTutlon: In the NCAA, you
are allowed flve years from the date you enter
collegc to complete four years of eligibility.

•should also be aware of who's recniited behind
them, not jusi in front of them. If you're a good
guard, and I recruit .Steve Alford behind you,
aixl say it's in your best interest to red-shin.
what do you think?
Two things disturb me about red-shining.
First, that it's being done more and more to­
day in the high school and junior highs, where
Little Johnny lakes seventh grade over, just so
he'll have another year to let his body mature,
and thus have an edge that will help hirn catch
the eyes of college scouts when h e's in high
school. This is wrong, because he's taking the
place of somebody else on the rosier, and
because he's older, stronger, he's m ore likely
to create an injury on the guys h e's playing
against. When parents encourage a kid lo do
this, they’re giving him an unfair advantage.
The other thing is, that too many coaches
think about what's best for their program first,
not the welfare o f the student-alhlete. What is
the advantage of a B student staying another
year in college? So he can get a better place
on the lawn in front of the library to lie down
and read his book?
Now. hardship. Hardship allows the athlete
who has a serious injury early in the season to
sit out a year without loss o f eligibility. The
famous example was Sam Bowie al Kentucky,
who had the leg stress fracture, had played two
years before it happened, couldn't play for two
years and still had oge year of eligibility left
(remember, you have to be done in five years,
that's the limit). Without the hardship rule,
B<iwie's last two seasons would have been a
complete waste. Instead, he had a fine senior
year and now is with Ponland o f the NBA.
Hardship, I feel, is a good thing. It's not done
intentionally, it's not pre-arranged. It protects
the athlete's eligibility, gives him a safely net
against the unexpected.
Another point: what if an athlete lets a coach
re-shin him as a freshman, and then he later
is injured? You cannot claim hardship once you
decide lo red-shin because you must stay within
the five-year time limit. So many athletes allow
a coach to 'ake away the safety net, sometimes
only lo 'h e benefit of the coach. It's just another
reason that I feel, in many cases, that redshining leaves the world o f acceptibilily.

apartments
W here red-shining is concerned, if you play
one minute in one game, that's considered a
season. In the ca.se o f an injury — or hardship
— that can be claimed if the athlete has not
played in more than 20% o f the games in that
season. In fcmlball, it would be two gam es, in
basketball — six or seven. If you have played
in more than that al the time the injury occurs,
you cannot claim hardship.
Red-shining, quite simply, allows the coach
lo hold an athlete back one year, without any
loss o f eligibility. It can only be done with the
athlete's permission. Coaches say it is done to
allow an athlete more time to m ature, to get
used lo college, to get his grades up and spread
the academic load out, and thus be a better
sludcnt-alhlele.
Many limes, it is done merely .so the coaches
will insure themselves a steady flow o f ulen t.
Rcmber one thing: You don't red-shin a player
who isn't g(xx), or has potential to Till a slot
down the line. Red-shining is business, great
for the coaches o f dynasty schools who have
so many super players they can afford to reds h in . and always have someb<xly in the wings
to fill a spot left by a graduating senior.
R ed-shining is also a good lactic if you’re
a new coach coming into a program that's
down. You red-shin all your good freshmen
you recruit, suffer through that first season
(which can be blamed on the former «>ach any­
way), and com e back strong the next, with a
class o f red-shin freshmen and the second
freshmen class you have recruited in the
meantime.
All go»x) coaches loda> have five-year charts,
individual charts, that show w ho's coining,
who's going, w hat's needed, but over five
years, a five-year plan like the Russians with
the wheal market. And rem em ber one other
thing: R ed-shining is not written in stone. If

Thinclads get set for E. C. C. Championships
Special to The Triangle
At the halfway point of the season,
; the Dragon Iracksters o f coaches Jack
^ M ager, John Thompson and Rich
• iGrobman seem to be headed towards
a possible repeat of last year’s success
; ;^at the East Coast Conference Chaml^ io n s h ip s . The Dragons last year kept
p ^ s t their traditional rivals Rider,
^l-afayette, Delaware and Lehigh to
Rnish second behind track powerhouse
ftucknell. With a good mixture of
utstanding freshmen and seasoned
pperclassmen. the Dragons have been
naking impressive tracks thus far.
Nr, In the 60 yard high hurdles, Drexel
' ;;lias managed to place three athletes in
ECC Top 10 ranking. Co-leader
* ^ f the ECC is frosh Tim Rousseau,
vho clocked an impressive 7.4 at the
afayette Invitational. Rousseau is
olidly backed by m ulti-event
scialist Ken Balcerski (7.6) and
>sh Jim Bulick (7.7) with sophomore
lliff Stokes rounding out the quartet
kith a 7.9 best.
The Drasons

Dragons hhave
made
dent in the ECC 600 yard run rank­
ing, again with three runners in the
Top 10. Leading the Dragons in this
event is junior Mike Grapsy (I; 15.8)
with his twin brother Mark next in the
rankings with a 1:15.9 clocking.
Sneaking into the Top 10 for the first
time with a 1:16.7 is senior Ken
Rouse.
It seems only appropriate that the
Grapsy twins have made their mark in
two events, the second being the 880
yard run. Mike is again the top DU
ranker with a 1:58.1 with Mark recor­
ding a 1:59.3 mark.
The 1000 yard run features junior
Bill Talbot in the Top 10 with a 2:22.2
mark. Talbot recorded a 2:17.2 last
year and could be a big factor in the
ECC if he can return to last season’s
form.
Three seems to be the Dragon’s
lucky number as a trio o f Drexel
milers have claimed a spot in the Top
10. Leading the Dragons is senior

JComing off the best first half o f a
i|bason in their past six, the Dragons
will look to improve their league
ing record of 5-1. The Dragons
■t^ cc, what could be, their toughest
lireekend of the season. Last night the
ragons faced Academy of New
urch College. A .N .C.C . is an
ttorical power in the league. This
will be the Dragons’ first look at
A.N.C.C. this year. Both the Dragons
and A .’n .C.C. are expected to go far
in the playoffs. They are likely to be
opponents in a late playoff round.
Tonight, the Dragons face off against
Franklin and Marshall College.
Although F & M is not rated in the
D .V .C .H .C ., advanced scouting
reports that F & M is a strong wpll
diKiplined club looking to gain respect
from the teams in the area.
Besides going against two strong
teanjs in two nights, the Dragons will
be playing without two of their better
players. Veterans John Drach and
Howard Silvers are out, due to injury
and sickness. Drach, the teams
strongest defens^man is out for one
week due to flu. Drach has compiled
3 ^oals, 7 assists and 21 penalty
^ .IQ A
4:19.6 early season clocking. Junior
K evin D elaney (4 :2 2 .1 ) and
sophomore Brian Kelley (4:25.1)
round out the Top 10 with frosh John
Spadaro (4:27.6) and junior Chuck
Miller (4:27.7) less than a .second off
o f the list.
McGorrey ranks second in the ECC
in the two mile run with an outstan­
ding 9:03.2 mark. This could be the
event where McGorrey wins his first
ECC Championship as he just keeps
running better and better each week.
The tremendously talented McGor­
rey may opt to go for the ECC three
mile title instead as he owns the best
ECC time in this event with a 14:02.9.
This time is only seven-tenths of a se­
cond off of his school record set in
1982. There’s no telling where
McGorrey might have been had he not
sustained a devastating back injury
prior to the 1982-83 cross country
.season and missed two solid years. His
return to running has been an inspira­
tion to the entire Drexel team.

strength in the rankings in the runn­
ing events are an outstanding crew of
DU field event men. The Dragons
have a Top 10 ranker in 5 of the 6 field
events.
The event the dragons are the
strongest in and one they are beginn­
ing to dominate within the ECC is the
long jump. After establishing an alltime record in last year’s ECC meet
for most points ever scored in the
event, the Dragons have placed four
athletes in the Top 10, including the
event leader. Heading the list is
decathlcte Ken Balcerski with a 23-1
mark in his only competition in the
event this year. Next for the Dragons
and fourth overall is the ECC is
sophomore Dave Becattini (21-7 1/4)
with Jim Gulick (20-11 1 2) and Cliff
Stokes (20-4) rounding out the Top 10.
Impressive as the long jump depth
appears, two of the Dragon’s best long
jumpers have yet to compete this
season. Last year’s ECC runnerup
Mark Blaszczyk (22-10 3/4) and
sophomore Mike Helmlinger (21-11)
will be unleashed on the Conference
in a few weeks. Both are recovering
from injuries and have been training
hard and bypa.ssing early season meets
so as to be prepared for the brutal com­
petition at the end of the season.
The triple jump is another event in
which the Dragons could walk away
with four places in the ECC meet. Se­
cond ranked in the ECC is frosh
Gulick with a 45-6 1/4 best followed
by Becattini at 43-0 1/4 and frosh Kerwin Thomas at 42-0 1/2. Again two
Dragons loom on the horizon for the
ECC meet. Helmlinger was a fifth
place finisher in last year’s meet and
has a 43-10 best and newly found frosh
Chuck Charlies has a 44-8 high .school
best.
The high jump features la.st year’s
ECC runnerup Blaszczyk (6-8 1/2
career best) and Top 10 ranker, frosh
Chris Page (6-2). Gulick will aLso
compete stwn in this event as he sports
a 6-6 high school best.
In the ever popular, crowd pleasing
pole vault, the Dragons are led by yet
another frirsh, Rob Thoma.s at 13-1
1/2. Thoma.s, wht) ti>ppcd 14-6 in high
•schtxil, is slowly regaining his prep
form after a month long illness. The
ever-present Balcerski appears again
in the Top 10, this time with a 12-0
mark.
For the first time in several years,
the Dragons have placed an athlete in
the 35 pound weight throw Top 10.
Freshman Jim Walter heaved a 38-4
toss against Delaware to become the
first Dragon to crack the Top 10 since
All American Ken Manahan in 1980.
All in all, the future ltx)ks very
bright for the Dragon track and field
this season and for many years to
come. With the ECC Championships
only four weeks away, the Dragons
must continue to train hard and stay
injury free for a chance to take a
legitimate shot at dethroning Bucknell.

minutes through 8 games. Drach is
best known for his hard hitting and
long end to end rushes with the puck.
Howard Silvers is out due to fractured
ribs suffered in a game last week.
Silvers who has compiled 5 goals and
10 assists and 14 penalty minutes in
his 8 games will be surely missed.
Silvers, one of the biggest players in
the league, is also known for his hard
hitting and work in the comers and in
front of the net. Both veterans will be
missed.
’
The Dragons will be looking for
their up and coming freshmen to pick
up the slack. Freshmen Dave Vincent
and Mike Campbell will be expected
to fill the great void left by Silvers on
the league’s highest scoring line.
Campbell will shift from wing to fill
in for Drach. Coach Gary Sheenan
will be juggling lines through out the
two games.
The coming week will be a true test
of the depth o f the young Dragon
team. The eyes o f the league will be
on the Dragons, who are currently the
top contender in the league. Dragon’s
survival in t)ack to back games,
without two of their top players, would
i ndeed show the depth and character
needed to be a championship team.

The Dragon wrestling team con­
tinues to breathe fire!
Jack Childs’ grapplers extended
their current win streak to eight dual
matches Saturday by sweeping a
q u a d ran g ular match at East
Stroudsburg. The Dragons dumped
Southern Connecticut by a 33-9 score,
sidelined Yale by a 27-10 count and
downed the host school by a 25-18
margin to improve its record to a
perfect 8-0.
Earlier in the week, Drexel had
swept a quadrangular at Swarthmore
with wins over Penn (41-9), Swarth­
more (46-9) and Temple (25-14). The
Temple win, Drexel’s first-ever
wrestling triumph over the Owls,
coupled with the triumph over Penn,
gives the Dragons the mythical city
championship.
Freshman Paul Zarbatany has
moved into striking distance of the
single-season win record at Drexel. A
pair of wins Saturday gave “ Zarb” a
21-2 mark heading into tomorrow’s
triangular match with Rider and
Delaware.
Junior captain Phil Gottlick pinned
all three of his opponents Saturday in
150-pt)und matches to improve his
sea.sonal pin total to nine and raise his
record to 18-4. Freshman Dough
Downs also upped his win total to 18
(18-4) with three wins last weekend
in 158 action.
Other records of note are 190pounder John Browning’s 16-7 mark,
177-er Rich Rosati at 15-4, heavy­
weight George Kovach at 14-6-1,
142-pounder Tim Cooley at 13-8 and
126-pounder Jim Miller at 12-3-1.
The Dragons’ unbeaten streak will
come under severe pressure this
weekend, as defending E.C.C. cham­
pion Rider and Delaware, paced by
177-pound stalwart Dave DeWalt, in­
vade the Physical Education Center for
a 1 p.m. triangular.
It was one hell of an effort. Drexel
almost pulled off the impossible, but
it was not to be. The men’s basketball
team came very close to pulling off
one of the biggest upsets of the year
Monday night; but in the end, it was
a combination of tiw much Ed Pin­
ckney and tcx) much Harold Pressley
as Villanova triumphed, 63-55. The
Dragons gave the nationally ranked
Wildcats aM sorts of problems before
finally running out of gas late in the
game and succumbing to Villanova’s
taller lineup. Drexel was led by heroic
efforts by Mike Anderson, Walt
Fuller, and Casper Cooper.
The crowd of over 4,000 came ex­
pecting a Villanova blowout, and it
certainly looked that way when
Dwayne McClain rammed home a
dunk to open the game. However,
Drexel overcame their early jitters and
refused to be intimidated. Drexel’s
defense forced Villanova into some
turnovers ( 15 in the first half) and
some p(K)r shooting ( 35 % in the first

Drexel’s men and women swimmers
continue to dominate the East Coast
Conference Swim league. They
defeated Layfayette men by a score of
68-35 and the Layfayette women by
a score of 70-28.
Capturing first place honors for the
women were Sophomore Lisa McCar­

Julie Krosnowski (400 IM, 100

Peggy Manley (1(X) Fly).

Freshman Justin Batwell (50 Free),
Senior Frank Kuchma (4(X) IM),
Senior Pat Shea (100 B ack),

play, Villanova led by only 55-51 and
.seven minutes remained in the game.
But Drexel had been worn down by
Villanova’s height advantage and
finally ran out of gas. The Wildcats
went into four comers offense and us­
ed it effectively to wind down the
cIcKk as Drexel was forced to foul.
Casper Cooper scored Drexel’s final
points, but it was in vain as Villanova
walked off with the 63-55 win.
Villanova had won, but they knew
that they had been in a struggle. Drex­
el’s show of heart and hustle gave
them all that they could handle. The
scoring was led by Pinckney ( 20
points), Pressley ( 18 pts.), Anderson
( 22 pts.), and Cooper ( 13 pts.). The
Wildcats had a big edge in rebounds,
37-23, and were led by Pinckney’s 17
boards. One curious item; a local
newspaper columnist likened Coach
Burke to “ Walter Mitty” and the
players to “ L illip u tia n s ” or
“ Sm urfs." Smurfs? Maybe the team
should wear all-blue uniforms from
now on. A better description of the
Dragons would be "Charlie Hu.stle.”

run which was culminated by Fuller’s
three point play that gave Drexel a
21-12 lead.
However. Villanova came .storming
back, led by Pinckney and Pressley.
Pinckney was .scoring despite an ef­
fective defense that Coach Burke was
using, which consisted of sagging on
the 6-9 centerman and surrounding
him with at least two men whenever
he got the ball. The half ended with
Pressley scoring off of a feed from
Pinckney, which left Drexel holding

The Wildcats came back to tie the
score at 37 when guard Dwight Wilbur
converted a Drexel turnover into two
points. The Dragons held tough and
took a 42-39 lead when Casper Ccxjper
made a pretty inside move and made
the basket and the foul shot for a three

Villanova showed why they are one
