Fire Extinguisher Fines
Raised from $50 to $300
by David E. Schwager
In a letter to all residence hall
studente last Tuesday, Douglas
H. MacEwan, assistant dean of
gtudente and director of student
residence, announced the College's new pohcy regarding the
unauthorized use of fire extinguishers which will take effect
•on Monday.
According to the letter, "over
the past year, the College has
experienoeid an alarming increase
in the number of incidente
involving tampering with this
equipment." A t o t a l of 48
instances of extinguisher related
vandalism wais reported last
semester. The m e e t 24, occurred
in South College, while there
were eight instances in Ruef
Hall and seven in Kirby House.
MacEwan s t a t e d t h a t t h i s
situation is a hazard "to the
health and safety of all studente."
The new policy increases "the responsible for their floor's safety

A Valediction to Lafayette
by Robert S. MioUi
I hsuided in my resignation
today. Thus ends officially six
years of labor, after which I'd
like to offer a few reflections.
More important, I'd hke to
serve as a voice for many of my
colleagues, especially the junior
ones. I write because I c£u*
deeply about the C o l l i e , believe
strongly in ite potential for
greatness, and want very much
to see it prosper.
Permit me to begin with a
story. In Shakespeare's Troilus
and Cressida many Greeks
and T r o j a n s , w e a r y a n d
exhausted by a senseless war,
question the value of their
struggle and that of the causa
belli, Helen of Troy. The
cynical Thersites repeatedly
calls Helen a whore and even
the honorable Hector, in a brief
moment of honesty and lucidity,
admite, "she is not worth what
she doth cost the keeping."
The tenure system as administered at Lafayette College is
also a whore who is not worth
the keeping. It has contanainated
our institution and, in retum
for loytdty and allegiance,
pven disease. Many of us are
Its victims.
. The victimization of the
)unior faculty is easy to see.
Kawfey's Poll
Leads to
Improvements
Many of us come here with
high hopes. We work hard to
excel in the three categories of
achievement — scholarship,
t e a c h i n g , and c o m m u n i t y
service. Soon confusion sete in
about what, if anything, the
institution really wante and
expecte. Does it really matter if
one pnte time into McKelvy or
an independent study venture,
works up a FIPSE proposal,
publishes an article or a book,
gives extra to the classroom?
No guidance is torthcoming,
no clear pattem emerges in
t e n u r e decisions, a n d the
situation varies vasUy from
department to department.
Many candidates excel only to
face t h e v i c i s s i t u d e s of
depfutmait politics, the vagaries
of institutional commitment,
the caprice or varying personahties, and the overriding
question "Is there a slot open in
your d e p a r t m e n t ? " And,
underlying fdl Eind rendering
everything insignificant, there
is the absurdity of a numerical
guideline, in effect, a quote.
Many ofthe best junior faculty
are forced to leave before the
tenure decision. Mtmy of the

academic i n s t i t u t i o n will
recognize and reward intellectual achievement and
excellence. But what does the
College consider "excellence?"
What is an "exceptional"

life here confound expectation
and disappoint hope.
The entire process of employee
evaluation and promotion

Alcohol Information

fey Andrew M. Goyer
A new organization is forming
on campus in order to enhtince
knowledge of programs to help
people with alcohol related
problems. "On Taap," Organization Towards Alcohol Awareness for People, is a group
funded and run by studente to
help distribute information on
these "diseeises."
Dallas Hetherington, '84, the
group's spokesman, outlined the
DEisic ideas of the group as
" g e t t i n g information out to
studente, Emd to work on an
orientation progrsun for prefreshmen." Hetherington emphasized that Ihe group is "not for
or agEunst dnnking, but just
w a n t s to d i s t r i b u t e t h e
information."
"On Taap's" advisor is Dr.
Donald Kirto, director of the
Counseling Center. Kirte said,
"I'm excited about the idea.
What has impressed me the
most about the organization is
that it is and has oeen student
organized and student run. The
l)eople who are involved seem
very serious. There is a strong
lack of any bias for or against
alcohol. There is no axe griding
going on here." He added, "The

Policies Prevail; Scholarship Suffers
Tenure is a peculiar institution. It is
designed so as to afford job security to
scholars who have demonstrated academic excellence. However, the strict
"guideline" regarding the percentage of
tenured faculty members in a department, whether it be the old 1/2 or the
new 2/3 quota, seems to guarantee that
many of the best young professors will
be let go. The issue becomes not how
well the professor h a s taught, or
researched, or related to students, but
how many "openings" are in the
department.
This seems to be the unfortunate
situation in the English department.
Two respected professors were eligible
for tenure; only one could be tenured if
the department was to stay within the
guideline. It seems eis though President
Ellis' decision to defer both candidates
— although both had been approved by
A.P. & D. — was an attempt to force the
issue. That is, he shnmk from the
opporttmity to declare one candidate
"exceptional" enough to merit surpassing the tenure guideline for the
department Instead, he threw the
burden of the decision back onto the
candidates themselves.
The result has been that the English
department and the College have lost a
nationally-known scholar, an esteemed
professor, and a good friend. Bob
Miola's decision to accept an offer from
Loyola is a w^se one in light of the
circumstances. It seems the College has
won; it has effectively avoided defining
how "exceptional" a candidate must be
in order for him to break the 2 / 3
guideline. It has avoided taking responsibility for its tenure policy — a policy
which many feel needs reviewing, if not
revision.
Most of all, it has missed an
opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to a liberal arts education. In
Miola's view, this institution should
strive to "tum out the kind of fine arts
student who understands biology and
physics, and the kind of engineer who
reads Plato and the New York Times
Book review." That doesn't seem to be
the caise here. A yawning chasm
between liberal arts students a n d
engineers need not exist at a school a s
small and as integrated as Lafayette.
Unfortimately, it does. FVofessors
such as Bob Miola who are committed to
narrowing this chasm are integred to
the future of Lafayette. It is abhorrent
that a less-than-optimal tenure system
and inflexible departmental quotas
shoidd mandate his resignation.
Alternative to Fine Policy Preferred
It's rather disturbing to think that the
only w a y t h e Administration h a s
acknowledged thus far in dealing with
t h e prevalent v a n d a l i s m problem
suggests that students take the role of a
police force. While students should take
pride in their institution, and should not
ignore acts of destruction to the
environment, it is not their duty to
"stand guard," "patrol," or "police," the
campus.
The new fire extinguisher policy
which will take effect on Monday, forces
students to do aU of these. Raising the
fine to $300 for misuse of a fire
extinguisher may be an effective deterrent (though not always since the
culprit is often intoxicated and therefore
unaware of what he is doing), but
forcing students who reside on the floor
where a fire extinguisher h a s been
misused to pay the fine (assuming a
culprit has not been found) will do much
more harm than good. Students should
take responsibility for their own safety.
Attitude changes need to take place; the
tone t o w a r d s v a n d a l i s m is often
apathetic, but a $300 fine is not the
solution.
First, the policy demands that even
students who are not present at the time
of the incident must share in the
expense. Under this new policy going
home for the weekend or sleeping
soundly are not viable excuses. I guess
we should all stay in our dorms all
weekend long a n d set up a rotating
system of guards to keep a close watch
throughout the night. (Shouldn't this be
a major concem for dorm guards?)
Even more upsetting, however, is the
unnecessary tension and animosity which
will inevitably result from instituting
such a pohcy. It is probable that a
student will become angry with his
floormates if an incident of misuse
should occur while he is not there. Those
under the most pressure will, of course,
be those who hve closest to the
extinguishers (perhaps they will be
responsible for the longest, most undesirable guard shifts) since they would
be most likely to hear the vandals.
Also, students would be inclined to he
or make false accusations in order to
protect their financial interests.
Vandahsm in general is paid for by
students anyway through the general
activities fee, so why not put some of
that money to good, long lasting use by
installing a better fire extinguisher
system. First, extinguishers could be
enclosed in cases built right into the
walls. Alarm systems might be rigged
in the doors of these cases. Security
would be alerted by the system — and
then could handle the problem accordingly, whether it be a culprit who
set off the alarm as a prank, or whether
the alarm sounded as a result of reaction
to a real fire. Another possibility would
be to spray the case handle with powder
which is detectable a s a stain on the
culprit's hands.
It is important to combat this problem
of rampant misuse of fire extinguishers
— the danger of a fire occurring while
equipment is unavailable is quite
obvious — but there are much more
imaginative and effective ways of
dealing with the problem than a $300
fine.

Discourse on Bad Practices
by Andrew M. Goyer
In recent weeks, three incidento have occurred which shed a
pretty poor Ught on the state of big-time college sptorts. Come
gaze with me at the ctirrent state of our 'studrat-athletes.'
The first was at least a try. Not a good one, but an attempt
The National Athletic Assodation made an effort to regulate
academic excesses bv requirinir entering fireshmen athletes to
have achieved a combinea score of at least 700 on tbe SATtobe
eligible to compete a s freshmen. Unfortunately, this
requirement not only discriminates, it puts the burden in the
wrong place.
Starting with the discrimination. In 1982, the national
average for white students on the SAT was 927. The average
for blacks was 707.1982 was the first year the national average
for blacks ever made it past 700. I consider any policy that
discriminates against the average student to be beyond
discriminatory, Ifind it ridiculous. Tt seems some people agree
with me. Nationally known activists such as Jesse Jackson
are now becoming involved. While I think this in itself is an
indictment of coUege sports, basically that they sue made too
big a deal of, I also thinlc the NCAA p u l l ^ this down on itself
As for where the burden of academic credibility should fall,
an increasingly good case is being made for putting the
controls in this area where they belong, in the hands of the
faculty and academic administrations of the invovled
institutions.
This idea leads us to the second incident I eludedto.The
University of Nevada at Las Vegas was named number one in
the nation in basketball by both wire-service polls. When the
original announcement ofthe test score rule was made, Dave
Anderson of the New York Times suggested using a formula
based on a school's graduating percentage (the real winningpercentage as far as I'm concerned). At the time, the idea made
some sense tome, but 1 still wasn't sure how well it would work.
Wednesday's Easton Express convinced me. In a copyrighted
storyfi^mthe KnightrRidder wire. Bob Rubin shocked the hell
out of me. It seems that Jerry Tfu-kanian, the basketball coach
at UNLV (and always known as a 'bad boy"), haa the best
winning-percentage of all active coaches, his teams having
won 80.7% of its games.
That might sound impressive, but the recent rise of UNLV to
number one has raised some criticisms of Tarkanian. A week
earUer, UNLV had been voted tops by the news media, but
finished second in the coaches' poU (despite being the only
undefeated team in the country) Decause tour of Tarkanian'8
peers left UNLV out of their top-15 all together. (Including
Notre Dame's Digger Phelps, who has been very active in
recent reform movemente). One possible explanation could be
these coaches' abhorrence of olack (or white) slavery in
America, because that is something that Tarkanian deserves
to be accused of!
Harsh words for a mere basketball program? I don't think
so. Another statistic that Rubin pointe out is that in nine years
at UNLV, Mr. Tarkanian has seen exactly FOUR of his
players receive their diplomas. Considering that Tarkanian
recruite mainly from the ghettos of America s cities, and from
junior colleges (the studente who play basketball at junior
colleges had high school grades so bad that not even
Tarkanian could alter the transcripte enoughtoget them into
UNLV). In putting three players in the pros, and graduating
four, Mr. Tarkanian's school made quite a bit of money off of a
lot of people who got nothing from it I call that slavery, or to
put it mildly, exploitetion.
In agreeing vrith Mr. Anderson, I would propose that schools
and coaches should teke responsibiUty for the education ofthe
athletes that these schools are making a mint off of. (For
example, UNLV, a stete school, pays Jerry Tarkanian
$100,000 per yeartoaid the 'education' of these athletes). Lets
say, justtouse rough numbers, that if the varsity athletes at a
school weretohave a graduation percentege in five years less
than that of the whole school, then each team would lose a
quarter of ite allowable scholarships. Or, to avoid schools
making chess a varsity sport to boost the averages, compute

I am particularly worried
about the imposition of this

on the first floor, where a

If I am to perform my

I'll have to bully the poor

THE LAFA YETTE. FRIDA Y. FEBRUARY
2.5, 1983
Scott-Heron Satirizes
fey Craig Cunningham
No one would deny that
Lafayette studente are mosUy
rather spoiled, pampered, and
satisfied with their lote in the
world. Being mostly white,
upper-middle dass, and educated,
their's is not the hardest of lote,
and they have Uttle about which
to complain. Nonetheless, they
love to complain. Being coUege
studente, they seem to feel it is
their role to be "liberal," "openminded," and to sympathize
with the down-trodden. So when
Gil Scott-Heron, an "angry black
songwriter, social critic, and
Bluesologist," performed to a
capacity audience last Saturday
evening in Colton Chapel, he
faced a crowd longing to sympathize, longing to demonstrate
just how un-predjudiced they
were, and longing to, for at least
a time, make a black feel
welcome to our ivory tower.
The impression was made.
Scott-Heron's audience seemed
to hang on his prophetic criticisms, and despite a rather late
start and an even later conclusion,
the evening was thought a
success by both performer and
observer. Scott-Heron does put
on a great show; full of comedy.
empathy, and a very gutey art.
His song and lecture appealed to
those who consider themselves
enlightened as well as those
suffering under the system out of
which his philosophy is created.
ScottrHeron appeared at Cx)lton
as part of the activities of Black
History Month at Lafayette. He
was sponsored by the Association
of Black Collegians along with a
variety of other groups. Well
known among the black community and fast becoming one of
a number of "in" black performers, Scott-Heron has recorded
ten albums of a distinct style
wbich combines blues, funk, rap,
and his own deep, inspiring
voice with a social theory that
decries America's reactionaries,
imperialiste, and capitaliste while
sticking up for the "littie man,"
especially the urban black.
Scott-Heron apparently got
lost on the way to Easton (he
said he took a wrong tum at "the
monument" (the Battle of Trenton
M o n u m e n t ) in "West Hell"
(Trenton) after being run out of
town by Mayor Rizzo of Philadelphia, and his "concert/lecture"
didn't start until about 9:15. He
started off by explaining what
he was, and that no reviewer
had been able to pin him down.
He is a "Bluesologist," a sdentist
of the blues. As he grew up in
Jackson, Tennessee and then
the lower west side of Manhattan,
he reaUzed that not enough
"brothers" could get good exposure to the blues, and has
spent considerable effort trying
to remedy this.
The blues are to blacks what
"depression" is to whites, but
"all of the blues is not sad,"
which Scott-Heron explained in
terms of the rainbow, (there are
about 3(XX) shades in the rainbow,
and six primary colors, so there
must be at least 5(X) shades of
blues). The blues are also, for
Scott-Heron, a way for the black
man to experience poetry, a
negation of "the idea that poetry
is to make things complex."
Today's black man experiences
only three kinds of blues. The
depression (Scott-Heron does not
mince words) means he sings
either the "I Ain't (iot No Money
Blues," the "I Ain't Ciot No Job
Blues," or the "I Ain't CJot No
Woman Blues." These, ScottHeron feels, are really only subcategories of one type. "I figure if
I had a job, I'd get me some
money and then I'd get me a
woman": no more blues.
Scott-Heron showed considerable empathy with those who
don't trust America, and parti-

Every year members of the

In 1976 the Reverend Jim Jones

College studente shave their
heads and dress in white sheets;
they are members of the Hari
Krishna sect. What compels
people to join culte, to teke part
in m a s s suicides or m a s s

Cult members are not just
sodetel rejecte, nomads, and
non-conformiste. Many ctdt partidpante come from the mainstream of sodety — middle class
family members, coUege studente,
people from the business world.
They may leave family and
friends behind or even convince
their loved ones to join as well.
Dr. Warren Gray, DDS, and
member of the Intemational
Board of (k)vcmor8 of B'nai

ex-cult members and is the
Intemational Chairman of the
Cult Awareness Committee of
B'nai B'rith. On Sunday, February 28, Dr. Gray will give an
informative presentetion entitied
"The Menace of the Culte." The
program will include a film
called "Culte: Choice or Coerdon?" which tells the story of
a member of the Reverend
Moon's Unification Church who
has been "deprogrammed." The
film will be followed by a
discussion of membership rates'
and numbers of culte, recruiting
methods, mind control, and the
general destructiveness of the
individuals and their families.
The program, sponsored by
the Joint Committee on the
ReUgious Program, will take
place at 6:30 p.m. in the Facultv

Films: "Frances" Disturbing,
"Lords of Discipline" Fun
hv Boh French
In this column I am going to
discuss two films which recently
b e g a n p l a y i n g in E a s t o n :
"Prances," starring Jessica Lange
and "The Lords of Disdpline,"
starring David Keith. "Frances,"
which was directed by Graeme
Clifford, opened in New York to
mixed reviews. Some critics
complained that the film strays
too far from the true story of the
life of the troubled film ster of
the 1940'8, F'rances Farmer,
Others pointed out that the film
seemed to lack direction, as it
failed to place the blame for
Frances' problems on any single
individual or group. Yet"FVance8"
is one of the most powerful
movies I have seen in a long
time.

though "Frances" does not dwell
on the destructive relationship
between mother and daughter
as Farmer's autobiography and
the T,V, movie based on that
book do, her mother is clearly
credited with much of Frances'
demise. Along with her pubUdty
crazed mother. Fanner's independence, the Hollywood ster
system, her rejection from the
Group Theater and her saniterium experiences are all implicated in t h e big-screen
"Frances." It seems clear that all
these factors were involved to
some extent; thus it is to the
film's advantege that it avoids
speaking in blacks and whites.
One ofthe admitted fictions of
the film is the character played
by Sam Shepard, the man who
loves Frances and manages to
pluck her from numerous dangerous situations. However, he
cannot have her in the end. No,
this is not a nice film with a
happy ending. Although there is
some humor in "Frances," it is
often spiteful and vengeful. This
is a dramatic film which dealw
with a serious subject in an
intense and powerful way. It is
not an easy experience. Most like
Alan Parker's "Midnight Ex
press" in my mind, it is the kind
of movie that beate you up and
leaves a lasting impression.
Although Franc Koddam's
film "The Ix)rd8 of Disdpline" is
as p h y s i c a l l y violent as
"Frances," the impression it
leaves on one isn't nearly as
lasting. Fortunately for this
movie it wasn't meant to be
'deep and meaningful," Yes, it is
manipulative, and yes, it takes

words "testicles" a n d "pudendum" (female genitels). T h e
Latin roote of these words are
"to witness" (as in to witness
masculinity) a n d "things to be
ashamed of," respectively. T h e
biases m a k i n g for our present
use of such words are obvious.
T h e point here was driven h o m e
even more clearly, however,
when Carrera asked the audience,
"What are some ofthe s t e n d a r d
colloqyial terms for a w o m a n
who has freouent sexual relations
with many oifferent men?" After
several momente of embarrassed
silence, some members of the
audience shyly chirped out "Slut,"
"Whore," " N y m p h o , " and the
like. When asked what the
corresponding term would be for
a man, the loud, in-unison reply
was "Stud!"
Carrera praised the women's
movement of the 60'8 a n d VO's
for having "had a lot more to do
with g e n o e r / s o d a l / f a m i l y roles
than it did with genital sexuaUty.
Women saw their bodies as
being competent for more t h a n
childbearing. . ."The major gain
of this movement is a greater
ease on the part of the women in
general to be able to express
what they want, from themselves,
from men and wdth men.
Over-all, said Carrera, the key
to mature sexuality lays in t h e
realization that true communication is the result of a lot of
hard work, some pain, discomfort
and maybe e m b a r r a s s m e n t , but
the cumulative effect of dealing
honestiy with our sexuality will
be well worth the effort. "All of
us have a right to express our
sexuality in a manner appropriate
to ourselves. . .express it with
dignity, joy and good feehngs for
yourself and other people."

THE LAFA YETTE. FRIDA Y FEBRUARY25, 1983
A "Fair" Chance at Employment
Offered to Lafayette Students
by Patti Greenman
This Saturday in Pardee Hall
Lafayette CoUege witnessed the
start of, hopefully, an annual
o c c a s i o n . A l t h o u g h it w a s
postponed a week by the snow,
the 1983 Job Fau- and Career
Conference finaUy coalesced over
the Lafayette Campus. The Job
Fair ran from nine in the
moming until five in the afternoon and was well attended by
both Lafayette studente and
other Lehigh 'Valley residente.
The Job Fair was sponsored
by the Lafayette Assodation of
Black CoUegians, The Lafayette
chapter of the National Society
of Black Engineers and the
IntercoUegiate Network of the
Lehigh Valley. Originally
scheduled for Saturday, February
12, the "Blizzard of 1983" foreed
a postponement for a week.
According to Lisa Harvey
('85), o n e of t h e f a i r ' s coordinators, planning for the fair
began as early as last fall.
Letters of invitation went out to
the corporations and graduate
schools in late October. C|or
porations that attended the job
fair included IBM, ColgatePalmoUve, Intemational Paper,
The Mellon Bank, Prudential
Insurance, MobU Oil and several
o t h e r s . I n a d d i t i o n to the
corporations, several graduate
schools sent representetives; these
included Lehigh University,
Rutgers, The Graduate School of
Education and Human Developm e n t a t t h e U n i v e r s i t y of
Rochester, and others.
Speaking on what initiated
the idea of a job fair, Harvey said
that "various other schools hold
job fairs and we thought it'd be a
nice idea to have one here. As far
as I know, there haven't been
any others in the (Lehigh)
valley." Other people who worked
in putting the Job Fair together
included Bonnie Sermons ('83),
coordinator, and Mark LePoy

"there need to be some improve
mente." She also added that she
felt the fair probably would not
have been possible at all without
the assistance of the ABC and
the Sodety of Black Engineers.
a more diverse collection of
companies being represented.
In an overall description,
Harvey said, "I thought the day
rogressed nicely and it was
enefidal for most ofthe studente
who came." But she said that in
E

that he was not condemning adi
nuclear weapons, but was merely
raising mortd questions pertaining to their implementation.
The attentive auoience laughed
as Russett related a "Saturdav
Night Live" joke on the pastoral
poUcy. Steting that the Bishops
felt that one could possess
nudear weapons but not use
them, the television commentetor
on the popidar comedy show
had wryly added that the Bishops,
being cehbate, were already
feuniuar with such a poUcy. This
bit of self-deprecating humor in
the speech was a rare bit of
leavening sprinkled through the
deadly serious subject matter.
In closing, Russett quoted the
pastoral letter, which "addressed
the relationship ofthe Chiuch to
the world on one of the most
urgent issues of our day." The
United Stetes Bishops' (Committee on War and Peace further
steted in their document that
" s o m e people h a v e resisted
thinking about the Bomb for 37
years." Now the CathoUc Church
is taking a stand, getting people
to start thinking about m e
moraUty of the disastrously
dangerous nuclear arms race
and the future of the human
('86), James Sawyer ('83), and
Alvin Yearwood ('83).
When asked about the effecte
of the weather on the fair,
Harvey responded that the snow
did do some damage to the job
fair because it was difficult for
representetives and studente to
reschedule themselves. One of
the problems vrith this year's
fair, as seen by Hsurvey, was that
there were not enough nonengineering companies present.
"This was a problem that was
exacerbated by the weather
difficulties.
Evaluations were taken at the
fair from both representetives
and attendees. Both groups
seemed to agree that the ftiir was
good overall but that a few areas
need improvement. The representetives said that they would
definitely return again next
year but tnat they had wished to
see more studente attending.
Those who attended commented
that they woidd have appredated
and a half just to dedde whether
to wear the brown or the navy
blue suit for the trip wasn't
helping matters much either.
Sometimes, I must admit, I
amaze myself. You see, I have an
incredible abUity to weave these
fantasies in my mind that serve
to totelly contradict reality. I
mean, I don't know what I
expected. I wrote to New York
Publishing firms and secreterial
agendes about summer jobs. I
guess I expected the President,
or at least the Vice-President,
and their personal secretory of
course, to t a k e a leisurely
Saturday moming drive down to
Easton to visit little ol' me. We
would go to the Leopard's Lair,
or maybe even a pubnite. So,
when I received letters of response
asking me when I would be in
New York to interview for
positions, needless to say I wtis
somewhat teken aback aa my
fantasy world slowly began to
crumble at my feet
You see, it isn't the idea of
going to New York, per se, that
was bothering me. I've been
there several times — visiting
friends, visiting t h e a t e r s or
museums, but always visiting
something. There was always
that devil-may-care, I-can't-tellthe-difference-between-Central
Park-and-Littie-Italy attitude that
went along with it, however. But

me the coffee.
I lingered over the cup for a
few momente, then made my
way up to suite 1900. The hall
was white tile with heavy brown
doors positioned at r e g u l a r
intervals. It sort of reminded me
of my high school. There seemed
to be no one around, and I had
the odd feeUng that I shouldn't
be in the halls alone. I kept
expecting Sister St. Gabriel to
c o m e l u n g i n g o u t a t me,
demanding a nail pass and
waving a demerit slip. She kept
her distance, however, and I
soon found the office I was
looking for.
Past several secretaries and
one or two office assistente, I
finally found my way to the
appropriate receptionist.
"Can I help you?"
"Yes. I have an appointment
with Mr. Goldstdn.'
" B i l l G o l d s t e i n or J e f f
Ckildstdn?"
"Uh . . . I don't know . . . just
Mr. Goldstein."
"Well, what are you here to see
him about?"
"A student intemship."
She sighed — particularly
loud — and repUed, "That wUl be
BUI Goldstein. Put on this name
tag and have a s e a t "
I obeyed her commands and
tried to appear very interested in
the publisher's producte scattered
on the coffee teble in front of me.
A young man, who looked to
be about my age, maybe a year
or two younger, came over to
greet me. Not another go-fer, I
thought
"Hi Lisa, my name is Bill
Goldstein."
I knew it was time to enter the
confidentryeteager coUege student mode. Red Alert. Red Alert
This is not a drill.
I checked to see if he had
sterted growing hair yet on his
upper Up. I spotted a few stray
hmrs here {uid there, and dedded
he must be legitimate.
It was Mr. Goldstein's first
interview, and he seemed just as
nervous as I was. Perhaps a littie
more so. I didn't bother telling
him that it was my first real
interview too. The more nervous
he got,.the more relaxed I got.
The combination worked very
well.
His office presented some
unusual challenges. It was about
the size ofa sohtery confinement
cell. There was no room to
maneuver between his desk and
my chair, so I was forced to effect
a sort of sideway hurdle into the
seat — quite a feat in a skirt and
pantyhose.
We chatted for about 20
minutes, he wished me luck, told
me he would get in contect with
me, and out I was again, to face
the natives. Fifteen minutes and
several revolving doors later, I
was in the office buUding of my
second appKjintment, with a
secretarial agency.
Up to suite 708 this time. More

doors. This was aU beginning to

This interview proved to be
much less intimidating, as the
secretary was impressed with
my abiUty to fUe "Roberte" after
"Davidson" in the fihng test I
knew mom and dad were sending
me to college for a reason, but I
didn't know that was the one.

THE LAFA YETTE, FRIDA Y, FEBRUARY25,
Superior Teaching Award
Nominations Process Begins
by Lisa M. Konoplisky
Nominations wiU soon take
place for the Student Govemment
Superior Teaching award, an
accolade given to one A.B. and
one B.S. Lafayette professor
who, in the opinion of the
student body, is outetanding in
dassroom effort and abiUty.
The process of nominating
professors will take place at
three consecutive student
govemment meetings, February
28, and Mtuxh 7. Both student
govemment representetives and
members of the general student
body may attend these meetings
in order to present their views
regarding professors who they
feel t o b e d e s e r v i n g , or
imdeserving, of the award.
FoUowing the nomination and
the compuing of a list of
nominees, a primary ballot wUl
be distributed to determine
general student sentiment
"The Academic Affairs Com
mittee, a stending committee of
student government and the
student govemment attempted
to develop an improved voting
system for this year's election
which would teke additional
factors, such as the number of
cotu-ses teken with a professor,
the number of consecutive years
a student has studied with a
professor, ete., into consideration.
Sue HelUweU, '83, chairperson
of the Academic Affairs Committee, commented that the
g r o u p t r i e d to d e v e l o p a
"mathematical formula that takes
aU these factors into account,
but it was not feasible."
The individualized aspect of
the student vote is dependent.
therefore, solely on the input of
the memebers of the college
community. This can be done by
attendance ofany ofthe scheduled
meetings or by working through
individual student govemment
representetives.
The final dedsion regarding
the award is made oy the
student govemment representatives who discuss and wdgh
the candidates in accordance
with the information and student
sentiment
HelUweU, noting that student
turnout at meetings has been
low in past years, stressed that
"studente should come to the
meetings and, if they know of
some professors who they feel
should be honored, or even one
who should not be, speak on
their behalf TTiey can have an
effect."
Kawfey *s Survey
each questionnaire individuaUy,
"either people are coming to
Kawfey's a lot or not at aU." He
said, "there is Uttie distinction in
sex or in whether or not the
student belongs to a sodal Uving
group," but added that, "more
studente who Uve on that side of
the campus use Kawfey's."
As a result ofthe questionnaire
and one semester of experience
there are various changes being
made at Kawfey's ranging fi^m
student porformances to pubUdty
to food to the physical setrup of
the coffeehouse.
The survey indicates that
student ftoformances is one
area where it seems evident that
improvement is needed; studente
are wary of performing, but at
the same time are tmxious to
have more such performances.
In particiUar there is a desire for
comedians, jazz musidans, and
folk guitars. Upcoming performances p l a n n e d for this
semester at Kawfey's include the
L/ouisville Dugans, a group of
student bluegrass musidans,
dramatic readings of Sylvia
Plath, and a performance by Bill
Hardy, '85, who sings and plays
the piano.
As a result of questionnaire
feedback, Laiks also indicated
that there wUl be an upgrading
in pubUdty. There is now a
standard logo which will be used
on all correspondence from
Kawfey's as weU a s on ite new
newsletter. The one page letter,
which wiU be distributed to the
RA's and the sodal Uving
groups, will contain news and
information about entertainment
food spedals, and other evente
at Kawfey's. Current uiformation
about the coffeehouse wiU also
be found in This Week at
Lafayette, The Lafayette, and
on the bulletin board in the
basement of Marquis.
(Continued from Page I)
While t h e questionnaire
indicates that most people are
happy with the food, there is a
demand for more substential
types of food such as soups,
sandwiches, a n d quiches.
According to Laiks, there aie
some "practical problems with
this," although a microwave
oven was recentiy purchased
and is presently in use. Another
change is the new supplier of
baked goods, who L,aiks says,
"provides a Isu-ger, more diverse
selection of better quality food
for less money." One popular
new menu item from the new
suppUer is pizza bread. There are
also plans to offer fresh brewed
intemational coffees, although
some details conceming the
electrical power for coffeepwte
need to be worked out first.
Although the physical lay-out
of the coffeehouse may appear
the same as last semester, there
h a v e a l r e a d y been s e v e r a l
changes a n d there are plans for
others. There are fewer tebles,
with some moved away from the
wall, an arrangement which,
Laiks says, makes the room
look, " m o r e open a n d less
structured." Another improvement to be initiated as a result of
the questionnaire is to change
the artwork more frequently,
hoi)efully as oflen as every two
to three weeks. There are plans
to include different types of art
such as photography and poetry
as well as to display different
media, all with a similiar theme.
T h e h a r s h l i g h t i n g in t h e
coffeehouse was an issue raised
by many of the respondente.
According to Laiks, "we are
working on it," but it is difficult
to replace flourescent lighte, and
candles would be too costiy.
FinandaUy, the fall semester
saw Kawfey's break even and
Laiks predicte "we won't lose
money this semester." Additionally, the executive committee is
about to repay a $1000 loan fi-om
the Dean's Office which was
used to stert Kawfey's.
Other additions and changes
include delivery oi The New
York Times e v e r y d a y b u t
Saturday; a gift which was
donated anonymously by a
faculty member. J a m e s P.
Crawford, assodate professor of
mathematics, is working a shift
at night as a waiter and Laiks
says one goal is to "bring the
faculty into the coffeehouse."
They are encouraged to perform,
display artwork and use it in the
same way that the studente do.
Finally , Laiks stressed that
people should develop a routine
which includes Kawfey's. He
added that to fadUtete this the
coffeehouse will "reopen in less
time in coming semesters." The
hours for Kawfey's this semester
are Monday to Saturday 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 12 a.m.
and Sunday 12 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Loyola Gets Shakespeare Expert;
Miola Leaves Lafayette in May
by Susan J. Pasko
Robert S. Miola, assistant
professor of English, is handing
in his resignation today. Miola
has announded that he has
accepted a position as associate
professor of English at Loyola
College in Baltimore, Maryland.
Miola came up for tenure this
year. The comnuttee on Appoints
ments. Promotions, and Dismissals recommended that he be
granted tenure and promoted to
associate professor; however
David W. EUis, nresident of the
CoUege deferred the tenure decisions of both Miola and June
Schlueter, assistant professor of
English. (See article m February
18 edition of The Lafayette) A.P.
and D. had also recommended
that Schlueter be granted tenure.
Miola stated that his decision
to accept the job offer at Loyola
rather than wait it out here was
due to three factors. He didn't
want to subject himself or his
family to more uncertainty.
"Going through this miserable
process once is enough," he said.
He also felt that the decision to
defer was "not quite fair." His
third consideration was that
even if he were granted tenure
he doesn't think that he could
"ever feel the same about the
institution."
Also Miola noted several things
that attracted him to Loyola.
ITiese include a very lucrative
position offering atenuredecision
within a few years; flexible
teaching time; the college'

proximity to the Folger ShakesEf?fe library in Washington,
DC; the better job opportunities
for his wife in the area; and the
fact that Loyola is a Catholic
institution.
English is a very competitive
field for the professor right now.
Miola noted that there are 800 to
900 applications for s o m e
positions. "Despite this," he
continued, "I was fortunate to
have been a candidate for
several positions, including three
Ivy League schools. I was
exceptionally fortunate to have
received such a good offer from
Loyola." He noted that the main
attraction is that "Loyola offers
a future, and fair treatment.
Lafayette never showed a strong
interest in my future or treated
me fairly here."
In a statement published
separately on p. 1 of fliis issue,
Miola expressed his feelings
towards this institution's tenure
policy. During an interview he
acknowledged the fact that a
tenure poficy must strike a
delicate balance between academic security and intellectual
innovation. However, he stated
that "getting rid of good young
people is not the solution to this
problem." He went on to add
that the tenure system here
causes problems for both the
senior and the junior faculty. "It
does not ensure productivity in
low or high ranks," he said.
Tenure policies vary fk)m institutiontoinstitution, noted Miola,
and "at some places the whole
system is administered more
fairly."
Thefilewhich Miola submitted
to A.P. and D. for consideration
included both em account of his
achievements and a statement
of his philosophy of liberal arts
education, ms record of his
achievements are divided into
three categories: teaching,
scholarship, and community
service.
The teaching section emphasizes his versatility and excellence. In it, Miola points out
that he has taught many different
types of courses, including
Shakespeare, Introduction to

student evaluations have been
consistently higher than the
departmental average. His
coiurses have also attracted a
high percentage of non-majors.
In the scholarly Euena Miola's
most recently-completed work b
Shakespeare's Rome, just published by Cambridge Press. He
is also a junior editor ofthe New
Variorum edition ofJulius Caesar.
This edition is considered the
most authoritative available,
according to Miola, and its
editors attempt to "gather the
most important textual and
critical work done on the play."
A project such as this takes 15-20
years to complete. He notes that
he is "by far the youngest person
apponted to this prestigious
committee."
In the community service
arena, Miola has served on
several faculty and joint committees, including curriculum,
financial aid, and others. He has
organized and provided Study
Skills Semnars through the
Counseling Center. He has also
served as a member of the
Academic Council, and has
worked towards the formulation
of a Lafayette debating team.
Both his colleagues and his
studenta have shown regret at
his leaving. Schlueter stated
that, "The last few months have
been a strain for both Bob and
me and I'm glad that for him, at
le£tst, the uncertainty is over. I'm
saddened, though, by the circumstances that have made leaving
Lafayette more professionally
advemtageous for Ek)b than
s t a y i n g . " Miola feels that
Schlueter has shown herself to
be "an excellent teacher, scholar,
and community servant who
richly deserves tenure."
Donedd L Miller, newly-tenured
assistant professor of history
and chairmfm of the American
Civilization progrm, said that
the decision to defer angers him.
He noted that it is a shame that
Lafayette's tenure system works
in such a way as to lose such an
esteemed scholar. James Vitelli,

some members felt the wording
WEIS inappropriate: "Be it resolved
that the Student Govemment of
Lafayette College finds the new
regulations regarding the billing
of a floor unit $300.00 for any
tempering of a nearby fire
extinguisher (when a guilty
party cannot be identified)
outrageous, unjust and abhorrent
Be it further resolved that the
Body recommends holding off
on the implementotion of such a
policy and hopes other security
systems will be more seriously
considered."
Andy Zlotnick, '83, student
govemment president, stoted
that he feels that "the College
has the responsibility to provide
adequate fire safety for us, but
we students have the responsibility for our living situation if
we know we're going to have to
pay through the noses." George
Massih, '83, president of the
resident advisor system, said he
agrees with the idea behind the
fining policy, that we do need a
deterrent, but he feels that it is
unfair forfloormembers to ha ve
to split a $300 fine.
The policy is biised on the
system used at Muhlenberg
College since 1979, according to
Hugh Harris, director of security
professor and head of English,
said that he is "very depressed"
at Miola's leaving. Miola noted
that the department chairman
has continually encouraged the
junior faculty members to seek
other employment due to the
general instability ofthe positions
here.
Several of Miola's students
and advisees have had similar
reactions. Gigi Urbani '83, and
English m^jor and one of Miola's
advisees, noted that Miola "really
cares about studente as jjersons.
I think that's what we will miss
the most; while he was an
excellent teacher and advisor, he
really cared about students outr
side the classroom as well. He
helped me a great deal in my job
search. He cares about total
education, not just that which
takes place within the dassroom."
Susan Helliwell, '83, also one of
Miola's advisees, stoted that "in
four years, I have observed the
tenure system at Lafayette in a
vfuriety of capacities. Professor
Miola s statement reflects the
fiiistration, confusion, and disallusionment that the tenure system
produces. I emi deeply saddened
that Bob Miola has decided to
leave Lafayette due to whatever
factors or pressures that have
influenced him. I respect him as
my advisor, as a scholar, and as
a friend. The tenure system has
become a perversion of an
(wiginally well-intentioned system
and in many cases seems to
victimize excellence rather than
rewarding it."
Miola stressed that he leaves
with sadness. "I am leaving
behind many friends, both students and faculty, that are
irreplacable; these are jjeople I
would be proud to have as
colleagues anywhere."
Miola noted that the only way
to deal with the tenure process is
not to get tense, but to "do your
best and hang in there. It takes
all one's courage and character
to endure and remain human.
Why? Why should an employment system work that way? I
hope that the faculty and adrninistration will get together to
reform this system. If they do,
Lafayette will be a better place."
Fine
and scifety and formerly a staff
person at Muhlenberg. Muhlenberg gives floor residente 10
days to find the vandal. If they
do, he must pay the refilling or
replacement coste and a $300
fine. If the floor members do not
find the guilty party, they only
pay the filling and replacement
costs (approximately $50).
According to Steriing 'Willhoit,
Muhlenberg's director of pubhc
safety, tampering instances have
dropped approximately 50 percent
MacEwan pointe out that
there is a serious extinguisher
problem and that the new fining
policy is the "best way of
reducing use" of the extinguishers. For example, on the
first night of this year's interim
session, an extinguisher was
discharged in South College.
During the past two years, he
reports, there were two or three
small fires, mainly smoldering
caused by pote left on stoves or
electrical overloads caused by
small appliances kept in studente'
rwoms against college regulations.
Harris noted that extinguishers
must be no more than 75 feet
fi:x)m any room. MacEwan stated
that the CoUege now has more
extinguishers tham it must have
by law and some will be
removed. According to WiUiam
R. Ledder, director of plant
opertdons, these eliminations are
being made due to new technology. ABC extinguishers, in
contrast to carbon dioxide and
water ones, can be used for
paper, electricfd, and grease fires.
MacEwan reported that the
extinguishers wUl soon be placed
in compartmente recessed into
walls.
Two major altematives have
been discussed. One involves
spraying the extinguisher handles
with a powder which stains
one's hands. Another possibiUty
is instaUing a complex buzzer
system. When the door to an
extinguisher compartment is
opened, a buzzer sounds in the
security office. Although costly,
this system would alert security
in the case of fire or vandalism,
according to Edelson.

program called "Courses to
Careers." This event is sponsored
by the Career Planmn^ and
Placement Office along with the
Student Alumni Association.
The itinerary for the week is as
foUows:

According to Heidi Rowe, '83.
the program is an extension of
Itist year's successful Career
Exposition.
'The Student Alumni Association wUl provide the alumni
who will participate and lead

Wednesday will be set up by the
Psychology Depsulment and will

Couples on Wed.). AU evente will
be "very infonnal" and reft-eshmente wUl be served.

the graduation percentages for each sport, and then dole out
the penalties accordingly. 1 guarantee that jjeople like
Tarkanian wiU change their ways.
Rubin presente some examples of real winnirig majorcollege basketball programs. In 21 years at the University of
North Carolina, E)ean Smith has accumulated an Olympic
gold medal, a national championship (1982), and is the only
active coach in coUege basketball with more wins than
Tarkanian. Oh, by the way, 94.8% ofthe UNC lettermen have
graduated, and just under half of those have gone on to some
form of graduate school. Or how about Bobby Knight WhUe
controversial for his own antics, no one can question his
ability. Again, the numbers. WhUe at Indiana IJniversity, he
has two national chtmipionships (1976 & 1981), he'U get his
shot at the gold as the U.S. coach in L.A. in 1984, and,
inddentally, 95.6% of the athletes that Bobby Knight has
recruited, graduated. Now these are not only coaches, they are
college educators.
The final case I wish to discuss is the worst case of
exploitotion I've ever heard of in coUegiate athletics. This is the
dedsion by Herschel Wtdker to sign a professional contract to
play in the United States Football League. You may be
wondering (I'm pretty certain you tire) how a reported
$16,000,0(X) over three years is exploitation. Here's the situation.
Walker had always declared publicly that he would finish his
four years at Georgia, graduate, and then play professional
football. After talking with the owner of the New Jersey
Generals (the team he eventually agreed to sign with). Walker
may or may not have signed a contract, but 3 he did, he gave
himself an out, a clause giving him an option to back out
within 24 hours. Apparently, he did so. Walker dedded that the
lure of a shot at a second Heisman trophy, plus the chance to
partidpate in the 1984 Olympics (he is also a world-class
sprinter) were enough to keep him in school. In addition, he is a
fairly strong student, for whom graduating was not at all a
secondary consideration. In any event, just by discussing
these rules with the Generals, Walker was declared ineligible
by the University of Georgia (not because they wanted to, but
with all the attention, they had to follow the rules to the letter).
After his dedsion was announced. Walker chose to go ahead
and play pro footbaU. Why not? His dreams were taken away.
Thf> dedsion made him ineligible for football, and also for the
Olympics. He can finish his degree fairly easUy. With $16
milUon in the bank he doesn't have a real problem with tuition.
My argument is that a coUege athleto made a mature
dedsion; he didn't want aU the money untU aifter he finished
what a normal college student works for in coUege. But,
because he took the opportunity to discuss these riches so that
he could dedde what he really wanted, he lost that. This is as
damning a statement aa I have ever heard about
intercollegiate athletics. A studentrsthlete looked over the
possibiUtes for his future very rationally, and was penalized
for it
These three situations require no real condusion. Their
message is clear. The colleges themselves must accept more
responsibility, and the NCAA needs some massive restructuring
of the patterns of reasoning in ite rules. These changes can't
waitl It's already too late for more than a hundred basketball
players who put their faith in Jerry Tarkanian. And it's too
late for Herschel Walker.

What this means for Lafayette, who now stands in fourth
place in the Westem section, is that they had better hope for a
win over Delaware this Saturdav. or thev m n exrx>ct in f»cp
l.ehigh in first round action. With only two ECC contests
remaining, Delaware is in third place with a ."i-S conference
mark, Lafayette drops to fourth with a 2-9 conference record,
and Lehigh remains at the bottom of the section with a 2-10
tally. Rider and Bucknell confidently hold on to first and
second place, respectively, with 8-2 and 6-3 conference marks.
In the Eastern Section, lowly Towson State with a 1-6 ECC
record can look forward to playing the tough Drexel Dragons
in first round play unless American University falls into a
slump and drops its next two games. Since Lafayette faces
Delaware and Towson State in their final two games, they
could feasibly win both of them and draw the first round bye.
The women's basketball team, unfortunately, has no chance
whatsoever of drawing a first round bye. Their 0-5 conference
mark, no matter if they win their next two games, guarantees
them a game against either Towson State or Ehexel as the
fourth place team in one section faces the fifth place team in
the other. The women's championships will be held at
Lafayette also at 6 p.m. on March 12. This is the first year for
women's ECC playoffis, and LaSalle looks to be an early
favorite now. Hofstra and Rider are the two likely candidates
for the men's title. Laat year's men's champion, St. Joseph's,
has left the ECC and entered the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Brightful Stars, But Men's
Basketball Drops 3 Straight
by Linda A. Kirk
The only bright spot for the
men's basketball team this past
week has been Chet Brightful.
The junior from Baltimore, Maryland, has led Lafayette in
scoring every game over the past
seven days. Otherwise, the week
has been an absolute disaster for
h e a d coach Will R a c k l e y ' s
l-eopards as they dropped 3
games in a row, sending their
record to only 6 wins against 16
losses.
Saturday, at Lehigh's Stabler
Arena, the Engineers achieved
their first win over Iifayette in 2
years, handily trouncing the
Ijeopards, 62-45. The Engineers
maintained a shaky lead in the
first half despite a strong effort
by Brightful, who scored 7 of his
12 points in the first half
I-eading 24-19 at the half, I>ehigh
kept a strong advantage over
the hapless Leopards. Stan Morse
was the only other I-afayette
scorer in double figures with 11
points.
On Monday night, Craigg
Cody, that Bucknell nemesis of
I-afayette, haunted them once
more this season as he sank both
shots on a one-and-one with ."i
seconds remaining to give the
Bisons a 60-59 victory over the
Leopards. Cody was the prime
reason Bucknell defeated Lafayette earlier this season when
his last second basket gave them
a 61-59 win.
With 9 minutes left in the
game, Lafayette held a lead over
Bucknell, but couldn't keep it
together. With a little less than
one minute to play, the I>eopard'.s
lead was cut to 57,56. Tony
Duckett then mis.sed his first
one-and-one shot, and Bucknell
drove down the court. But Cody
was called for charging, and
when Brightful sank both foul
shots putting the I-eopards up
59-.56 with 15 seconds, it looked
hke I-afayette had just about
wrapped up the game.
With only 5 seconds left,
Calvin Puriefoy, point guard for
Bucknell, put the ball up from a
Carl Cosimano shot to make it
,59-58. The next play of the game
was a controversial one. Stan
Morse was called for charwing
into Cody on a Lafayette inbound
pass, sending (Jody to the line,
where he sunlt both shots to give
the Bisons a 14-8 record this
year.
Brightful had his best offensive
game ofthe season as he was 10
of 14 from the floor and 4 of 5
from the hne to give him 24
points for the night. Duckett
added 12 and Gary Bennett had
10 for the only 3 I-eopards in 3
figures.
Wednesday night at LaSalle it
was a repeat performance:
l-iifayette came close but fell
short again, losing to the Explorers 76-61. With a bad start,
Lafayette fell behind 22-9, but
poured it on at the close of the
fir.st half. Down by only two, 34•)2, Ijifayette took a small lead
early in the second half 4,3-42,
but I-aSalle battled back by
running off 7 straight points,
(Continued on Page 13)
McKenna 4 Shy of 1,000
Still winless in the East Coast
Conference, Pat Fisher's
1-afayette I-eopards took their
show on the road twice this
week. First, on Saturday, they
ventured out to I-ehigh's Stabler
Arena to take on the 11-6
Engineers, who were 3-3 in the
ECC with a strong hold on
second place in their section.
Despite an excellent effort by
team co-captain Maureen
McKenna, Lafayette dropped
their eighth game versus ten
wins, a'1-70.
McKenna's 21 pyoints led the
I-eopards, but were not enough
as the Engineers tough offense
was too much for the I-afayette
defense to handle. Kelly O'Connor
added 11 p>oint8, and sophomore
liz Frey came up with 10 for the
only three I-afayette players in
double figures.
Wednesday night, I-afayette
travelled down to Philadelphia
to play the 1-aSalle Explorers.
1-iiSalle is the top team in the
ECC Eastem Section, and they
showed the I-eopards why they
deserve that honor by defeating
them, 60-51, dropping Lafayette
to 10-9. The offense appeared to
be sluggish as I-afayette suffered
through an offensive drought at
the close of the first half
Holding on to a slim lead with
five m i n u t e s r e m a i n i n g , it
appeared that I-afayette might
pull out an upset over tbe
h e a v i l y favored Elxplorers.
However, the l-eopards watched
their lead diminish and finally
disappear as they couldn't get
their offense or defense together.
1-aSalle took a big 30-18 halftime
lead by outscoring Lafayette 142 in the final four minutes of first
half action.
I-ed by Sharon Basso, who
scored 10 of her 12 points in the
second half, the I-eopards tried
to make a run at the Explorers in
the second half, but were unable
to get close. Dana Wolfe led
l-afayette scorers with 15 points
and Maureen McKenna had 10
to push her career f)oint total to
996 points, leaving her only four
shy of becoming the only woman
in I-afayette College history to
score 1 ,(KK) points. TTiis Saturday
at 1 p.m. at Kirby F'ield House,
she should achieve this mark as
the I-eopards take on Delaware.

Goldsmith Wins First
In ECC Diving Finals
On February 17, 18, and 19th
the Lafayette Women's swim
team participated in the first
East Coast Conference Women's
swimming and diving championships, held at [>rexel University.
After the three day meet. Coach
Lawson retumed to Easton wath

Champion, and the task of
rewriting the record board.
Diane Goldsmith dove exceptionally well on both the 1
and 3 meter boards. CJoldsmith
was nearly flawless on the
lowboard as she captured the
gold medal. Her motto of "consistency and concentration"
helped Goldsmith defeat the
field of 15 divers, including the 3
experienced Drexel divers who
were hot on her heels, Diane had
an excellent day on the 3 meter
board as well. Unfortunately,
two of tbe Drexel divers scored
slightly higher than Diane,
placing the I-eopard diver in
third place.
Marianne Cargill once again
altered the record Ixxiks with her
outstanding swims. She not
only set Lafayette records in the
100 yd. butterfly (1:03.73) and
400 IM (5:04.95) but also teamed
up with Mary Ann O'Kane,
Elfune Godfrey, and Goldsmith
to set a new record in the 200 and
4(X) yd. freestyle relays. Th(
quartet has been threatening lo

relay record all season. Thegirli
each swam t>er8onal bests ai
they logged a time of 1:46.23,
which was good enough for a
seventh place finish. Not even
Coach Lawson expected to see
the 400 yd. relay record fall
However, the "golden quartet'
sprinted to a new standard ol
3:.56.23 and captured eighth
place.
Cargill's 4(X) IM swim eamed
her 11th place while teammate
