LAFAYETTE COLLEGE
l\vo daim Lafey^te's 70fli Pqiper Prize
by Yvonne Koulouthros
For the first time since the Pepper Prize's inception in 1923, two
seniors have tied as winners of the
award.
Tinabeth Pifia and Bobby Vaughn
received the same amount of votes
from students and faculty, each as
the senior who most represents the
Lafayette ideal: "a well-rounded.
educated senior who adds to a sound
academic record noteworthy participation in college activities and
student life which contribute to the
advancement of the college on and
off-campus. Academic brilliance
or athletic prowess alone is not the
criterion," as stated in a 1948 descripfion.
"We recounted the votes to make
sure it was a
tie, and we
thought the
fairest thing
would be to
award it to
both
of
them," said
Douglas
Long, professor of
computer
science and
chair of the
Pepper
Prize Committee. "I
don't know
how it will
be artanged
Bobby Vaughn
Tinabeth Piha
at graduation,
but we've done
our job...."
Piiia
and
Vaughn are very
glad for each
other. "I remember telling my
mom that I would
like to see
Tinabeth win,"
recalls Vaughn.
"I'm truly honored to also be a
winner. I love
public speaking
and it's a dream
come true to
have this opportunity, to speak
in front of students, faculty and
guests."
"I'm flattered beyond belief,"
says Piiia. "It's funny, because I
commuted from my home in Easton
my first two years here, and I never
knew what the Pepper Prize was
unril I lived on campus."
Both Piiia and Vaughn have an
extensive amount of achievements.
Piiia, who has a double major in
Spanish and American studies, recently finished two honors theses—
an examinaUon of plays during the
Franco regime and the dictatorship's
influence upon them for Spanish,

CoUege invests
Cell to leave provost post
in keyless entry
by Kristin McGinn
Gillian Cell, provost ofLafayette
College, will be taking a position
as provost at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg,
Virginia, starting on August I of
this year. Her resignation from
Lafayette is effective June 30.
According to a May 4 article by
Madeleine Mathias in The Morning Call, Cell says that she is
leaving Lafayette because she has
a "wonderful opportunity at William & Mary. It is an unusual
insritution, in that it is still quite
small, but has a strong tradition of
excellence in undergraduate education, as well as a strong graduate
and professional program."
The article also stated that Cell's
mon Course of Study,' and the
faculty greatly appreciates her
effort as liaison between the faculty and the president." President Rotberg was quoted as saying that Cell has done "a superb
job for Lafayette College and the
academic momentum will be the
poorer for her going."
Cell's husband, John Cell, has
been a visiting history professor at
Lafayette since 1991, when Provost Cell started her position here.
He is a history professor at Duke
University in North Carolina.
Cell came to Lafayette from the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, where she was the
dean of the General College and the
College of Arts and Sciences.

Keys may become a thing of the
past at Lafayette College if a new
keyless entry system proves viable.
Starting next semester, several residence halls will be equipped with
an electronic access system, according to Donald DelManzo, director of plant operations.
Though plans are not finalized,
the objective now is to "install card
or electronic key access" on from
one to five residence halls over the
summer, says DelManzo. Once any
bugs are worked out of the system,
the plan is to equip all of the resi-
dence halls on campus. The opUon
is available to wire academic buildings as well, though DelManzo was
not sure if this would be done.
Unlike the Validine system used
to scan ID cards at Farinon, this
would be a "proximity" system,
requiring the card or key to be
passed near the sensor. Once the
card is accepted, the lock will open
electronically, permitting building
access.
The entire system will cost over
$400,000, says DelManzo, but "it's

In an effort to improve women's
rush at Lafayette College, a "no
frills" policy will be implemented
in next year's msh.
"There will be a de-emphasis on
the party atmosphere and an emphasis on getting to know the rushees through conversation," explains
Panhel rush chair. Sue Parker '95.
In the past, women's msh has been
divided into four parties each with
singing, clapping, decorations and
entertainment. However, this took
away from placing emphasis on the
ideal on which sororities were
founded, mainly philanthropies,
friendship and scholarship.
"No frills" rush focuses the emphasis on these ideals by stressing
conversation that is not related to
decorations or singing. Marta
Gutwilliig '95, msh chair of Alpha
Gamma Delta Sorority comments,
"We'll get to know the rushees
much better without the props to
take away from the point of meeting them."

Fridley hosts workshop

"We're living in a very confused,
conflicted time...a time of extremes," began Mary Fridley at her
workshop last Thursday. The workshop, "Creating a Pro-Gay Environment at Lafayette," was sponsored by Friends of Lesbians and
Gays.
She opened up the workshop with
an introduction about herself and
her views on a wide-range of issues.
She initially discussed her previous
work with the feminist movement
in the '70s and her curtent work as
a psychotherapist.
Then she covered a variety of
topics in order to initiate discussions among the workshop attendees. "[The topic of homosexuality]
is not going to disappear tomorrow," she said, and that fact makes
it very important to bring it more
out into the open.
According to Fridley, it "has
already made it into the mainstream. It has become something
that everyone is talking about."

LA. situation examined
by Peter Allen
A brown bag was held last Friday
to give people the opportunity to
openly discuss the events surtounding the infamous Rodney King-LAPD
incident last spring and the trials of
the police officers involved. Helena
Silverstein, professor of govemment
and law, served as moderator of the
discussion.
Silverstein began by briefly outlining the situation and posing some
questions. She explained that the
officers were not technically experiencing "double jeopardy" because
by Caren Schweidel
Under the leadership of Edmond
Seifried, professor of economics,
many students are taking advantage
of the intemships that the department offers. Students are required to
register for Economics 352, like a
regular class. Once an intemship is
found, students are responsible for
keeping a daily joumal, and wriring
a 10-page paper outlining their experiences and all they have leamed.
Students can receive up to three
credits.
Senior David Archibald is concluding his intemship with Ambassador Bank in Allentown. His duties
revolved around marketing new and
old products. Archibald participated in working on bank profitability and research in which he located
areas in which the bank was profitable. In addition to his daily responsibilities, Archibald was assigned
various projects. He helped the
bank get ready for auditing, and
watched for "red lining." This required Archibald to ensure that the
bank was not discriminating by just
loaning money to wealthy areas.
Fortunately, he had the opportunity
to master Lotus and enjoyed the
experience.
in these mud banks because they
protect the coast line," says Faas.
"These mud banks serve as safe
harbors for the fishing fleet during
the storm period, and the timing is
such that their formation coincides
with a period of high biological
productivity. The most valuable fishing is done during the monsoon
season in these mud banks." Faas
feels the creation of such mud banks
would be a useful way to dispose of
clean, fine-grained dredge materials, which could be dumped, for
instance, along the Gulf coast where
hurricanes periodically tear up the
beach. These added deposits would
simulate the conditions that exist off
the coast of India; the mud would
absorb the energy and the beach
would be protected.
"This would make good use ofthe
dredge materials, which are difficult
to get rid of any other way," says
Faas. "The mud could be used to
nourish and protect the beach." Several years ago, for instance, the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers dumped
fine-grained dredge material off the
shore of one ofthe islands in the Gulf
of Mexico. Although the Army's
objective was only to dispose of the
dredge materials, the next hurticane
brought the mud up from the ocean
floor to protect the coast.
After the storms, the mud was
gone, and there was not enough mud
for the same thing to happen the
following year. If the mud supply
could be renewed each year, says
Faas, the coast could be protected
each hurricane season.
"This is an interesting mechanism
where we can use nature and the
natural processes of the environment to help us to maintain the
coastline," says Faas. "I'd like to
pursue this phenomenon and see if
it's possible to utilize it in a very
practical sense to take care of finegrained materials. If we can find the
right places to put them so they can
protect the coast, that would give us
some additional benefits."
Faas and a colleague from the
coastal engineering department of
the University of Florida have submitted a proposal to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers to continue studying the dynamics of this process in
India to see if it could be applied to
certain areas in the United States.
Faas's research in India was supported through an Indo-American
Fellowship administered by the Commission for the Intemational Exchange
of Scholars and the American Institute
for Indian Studies. Aresidentof Easton,
Faas has taught at Lafayette since
1964. A graduate of Lawrence College, he received both a master's and a
doctorate from Iowa State University.
And if there was a theme that
unified the ceremony, it would have
been service to the Lafayette
community. Custodians, teachers,
secretaries, an a cappella group, and
a sorority were praised for their
accomplishments.
Sometimes the hard work of those
around us goes unnoticed; fortunately, the Aaron O. Hoff Awards
exist to recognize individuals who
serve others selflessly and with pride.

the second trial was on the federal
level with slightly different charges.
Curlee Holten, professor of art,
quesuoned whether the second trial,
for civil rights violations, was automatic. In response, James Lennertz,
professor of govemment and law,
suggested that the second trial, which
occurred at the urging of the Bush
administration, happened mainly
because "it was an election year."
For the first trial, the officers
were charged with assault. They
were acquitted after the jury concluded that the prosecution had not
proven it was excessive force. This
second trial was a federal case involving the violation of civil rights,
mainly the Mth amendment guaranteeing "due process." Two officers
were acquitted, while two were found
guilty.
One of the biggest problems with
these trials has been defining "justice." Unfortunately, said Silverstein,
every case is different and there is
no strict definition. "Everything is
relatively gray," she explained, when
it comes to determining what is right
and just.

Faas studies Indian geology
by Rebecca Rowe
Every year during the monsoon
season, large mud banks that form
along the southwest coast of India
help protect the coasfline from erosion and create areas of calm waters
that serve as productive fishing
grounds for the local fishermen.
Unfortunately, these mud banks
and the protection they afford disappear following the end of the monsoons. Richard W. Faas, a professor of geology at Lafayette College,
is trying to leam more about these
Indian mud banks in hope that they
could be simulated in other places.
Last summer, he spent six weeks at
the Centre for Earth Science Studies
in Trivan-dmm, Kerala State, south
west India, studying the physical
properties of fine-grained sediments
in those mud bank deposits. Using
state-of-the-art geological equipment, Faas, an expert on fine-grained
sediments, examined the mud's viscosity and texture to determine if
these parameters are responsible for
its retum year after year. Although
these mud banks form naturally off
the southwest coast of India during
the monsoon season, Faas would
like to determine if this phenomenon
could be simulated along the coasts
of the United States during the hurricane season.

Stephen Wagenbach '93 has taken
part in personal investing and investment banking with Dean Witter
Discover, a retail brokerage firm in
Allentown. Recently, Wagenbach
assisted in organizing a seminar on
tax reinvesting. He invited the
company's old clients as well as
prospective new ones and then proceeded to follow up the invitation
with a phone call. At the seminar,
Wagenbach handled all of the organizational aspects as well as greeted
the invited guests. As a result of the
seminar, he constmcted a portfolio
for the new clients gained. In addition to his participation in the seminar, Wagenbach is responsible for
filing, keeping record of various
client transactions as well as posting
client's trades on their individual
accounts.
Although Wagenbach is thankful
for gaining a hands on experience,
he was also fortunate enough to be
trained for the Series 7 Exam that
one must pass in order to become a
broker. His advisor at the firm has
voluntarily helped Wagenbach to
study for it, by instructing him on
the best methods in selecting stocks
as well as providing him with practice tests.
"One of the best things about
doing the intemship is that I got a
headstart and basic understanding of
what the workplace is like, basic
office etiquette, as well as an experience that I will hold for the life
ahead of me," says Wagenbach.
Experiencing other aspects of the
retail world is senior Lenore Brough.
This semester she intemed for All
Pro Sports in Long Island, a sports
company that sold various sports
equipment. The company is considered the "middle man" between those
who produce the equipment and
those who purchase it. Brough targeted new potential markets for the
company to enter. She scoped out
local businesses, colleges, and special events in the ai'ea to promote her
products. In addition, she set up a
telemarketing campaign in which
she gave presentations to potential
buyers on what products they had to
offer. Apparently, much of her responsibility rested in promoting the
name of her company.
Brough feels that she "learned
about sports marketing through trying to help the company branch out
into different regions."

UNSUNG LEOPARDS
by Leslie Ann Hobayan
This is the final unsung leopard
of the week, and he is Dave Poplar
from the class of 1993. Coming
from Vorhees in southem New Jersey, he will graduate with a bachelor of arts degree in govemment
and law. And his involvement on
campus has called a need for recognition.
Poplar wrestled his first year
before the program ended, which
he finds disappointing. He is a
contributor for The Vid, where he
makes up letterheads and writes a
few articles. He also has contributed his photographs to The Marquis, the literary magazine. In
addition. Poplar is a member of
Young Democrats, Student Organization Against Racism (SOAR),
and makes a regular appearance at
meetings for the Association of
Lafayette Women (ALW). This
year, he also coached the flag football team for Alpha Phi sorority
and comments, "I played football
for 11 years...[this] gave me a new
perspective. It was a worthwhile
experience and [a lot of] fun."
In his sophomore year, he worked
for admissions. Besides his other
jobs on campus, he has worked for
security a semester during his jun-
ior year and is currentiy an usher
for the Williams Center. Along the
lines of employment. Poplar says,
"I worked as a police officer for
two summers. [Also,] I've always
David Gordon
Dave Poplar
wanted to work with the homeless."
During the spring of his junior
year. Poplar traveled abroad to
London, England, where he worked
on a political campaign and took
classes. Last interim, he went to
West Africa, to Ghana, where he
centered his "study on imperialism
on Christianity. It was good exposure."
Outside his involvement on campus. Poplar has played the guitar
for about half of his life and says, "1
want to get better at the guitar." He
also has a secret identity as a crime
fighter and led his pledge class (of
the former Phi Delta Theta Fraternity) in a demonstration of fluid
dynamics. According to Traci Ball
'93, "He's a pretty outgoing person
who knows almost everyone." Dave
Colgan '93, a former "unsung,"
adds. "I've seen him slam dunk."
This animal lover, who used to
enter triathalons, plans to work on
Governor Jim Florio's re-election
campaign after graduation. "I,
also want to train to be an EMT
(Emergency Medical Technician)
and eventually go to graduate
school. Then, go back to New
Jersey and use my education to
help others." Any advice to the
members of the graduating class?
"Be excellent to each other," he
says with a smile.
In closing. Poplar says to the
readers, "I would just like to give
my appreciation to Leslie Ann
Hobayan for her tireless effort in
her 'Unsung Leopard' features
column. Her toil is perhaps the
most unrecognized of all of us."
To that, I say thank you, Dave.

It's that time of year again.
Time for frisbee on the quad, All
College Day, cramming for finals, and then graduation. Most
of us have done all of these
activities before—even attending a Lafayette College graduation—but this time, we're going
to be the ones dressed in black,
shaking hands with President
Rotberg, and receiving that $
80,000 piece of paper.
Some of us will be off to law,
medical, or graduate school to
become the future lawyers, doctors, and scholars of America.
A number of us will enter the
work force. Many already have
secured that exciting first job.
If, however, some are still looking for the right job to begin
their "real life," don't worry; a
lot of us are in the same boat.
The key thing to remember is
that we each will soon be a
Lafayette College graduate.
And, presently employed or not,
we will all eventually find the
right job. It just may require
some patience, perseverance,
and hard work, but, thejob is out
there for every one of us.
For some, the Career Planning & Placement Center has
become a second home. They
are the ones with the frequent
library loaners and black binder
checkers. The center has helped
them initiate their job search
process, and CP&P won't stop

the center is ready to provide
former students with even more

Seniors will be graduating .soon,
but the numerous hours they have
committed to community service
will have made an important impact long after they have left the
hill.
Samantha Denenberg '93, coordinator of the Boys and Girls Club,
has devoted her time tutoring a
Puerto Rican boy, whose second
language is English, on a weekly
basis. She does recreational activities with him as well as being his
mentor. One special project included coming onto the Hill to see
some shows at the Williams Center. Denenberg comments on her
experience by saying, "I've leamed
a lot about people in general. It
opens your eyes to the community
you live in because you see the
diversity. The program gives kids
a sense of stability and shows them
that someone cares. Seeing col-
lege life gives them something to
shoot for." Denenberg has also
helped to put together the Group
Opportunity Bulletin that comes
out two to three times a month and
helps the Greek organizations with
their STEPS programs.
Carrie Davidson '93 is another
volunteer and works with the preschool section at the YWCA in
Easton for three hours every week.
Davidson's contribution includes
controlling the kids, keeping the
room clean, helping the older kids
who come in with their homework,
and playing with the younger kids
until the parents come to get them.
Essentially, Davidson acts as a tutor, a babysitter, and an entertainer. She says, "It's amazing
how obvious the differences are in
the kids backgrounds. Some are
paying full rate, while others are
coming from shelters so I can easily
see who feels more secure and who
needs more attention. The YWCA
is an absolutely amazing program!"
One other important senior who
has devoted valuable time to helping the community is Dan
Mulholland who, together with junior Tim Shaw, helped to coach a
coed soccer team of 12-year-olds
for Palmer Township. Their
committment consisted of coaching twice a week for two hours.
Mulholland says that Coaches For
Kids was "a rewarding chance to
give something back to the kids,
and they really looked up to us
because we're in college."
No matter how big or small a
students committment is, there is
always the chance to help enrich
the lives of those who are less
fortunate and live in the surrounding community. Each senior has
demonstrated his or her desire to do
so, while having fun and seeing the
immediate effects.

library resources are always
available. But now, Lafayette
alumni will be privy to additional services. Many are aware
of the "Profile Plus" service,
but for those who aren't, let me
describe it. "Profile Plus" is an
electronic database that sends
resumes to prospective employers. If one is presently on this
database, he/she will have to reregister before graduation to remain on the system. For those
who are not yet on "Profile Plus,"

How fast these four years go...yet how eventful they are, considering the relatively short time span. I only have begun to realize that I
have already done some things at Lafayette for the last time.
And this, The Lafayette, is one of them. What a bittersweet memory
if there ever was one. It is not my utmost desire, at times, to take a walk
down memory lane, but it is practically inevitable when graduation
comes rolling around....
As a freshman, I never thought that I would end that year with
serious physical injuries. I never thought I would know what it was like
to suffer from partial paralysis, and that 1 would have to withdraw from
Lafayette my second semester here. But life works in mysterious ways.
It most certainly does, because here I am, a senior, having just
completed a year of being editor in chief of the same newspaper that
attributed
to
those serious injuries. To be as succinct as possible, I

I still remember my first words (to myself) after waking up from my
first operation: Thanks, God, for not taking me yet. A bmsh with death
is a very scary, but real, thing. And so my life hasn't been the same
since.
I have tried to retain this sense of mortality, to remind myself that
there are more important things in life then getting a good grade in a
class, creating an en'or-free newspaper, or always having a job to
make money. And it has been a stmggle—it is so easy to get swept up
in the same old Lafayette routine.

I could cobble together a
meaningless miasma of useless observances and manufactured opinions for this, the final column of the
year, and still get it published.
Maybe end on a high note with
something like "gee, it sure was
fun, boys and girls—see you next
year!" I could do that.
If my conscience didn't prevent
me. If there wasn't a topic about
which I feel quite strongly, and
about which I've heard a great deal
of undergrad babble circulating
around—grossly idealistic and uninformed, as usual.
The name of the game, of course,
is ethnic cleansing and the playing
field is the beautiful land of Bosnia.
Fact: Bosnia is being ravaged by a
horrible war based on age-old ethnic animosities. Fact: Innocent men,
women, and children are getting
killed. Fact: The Serbians are not
going to quit their genocidal practices just on our say-so.
Fact: There is nothing we can do
about it except escalate the conflict,
get American soldiers killed needlessly, and foot the bill as the European Community applauds politely.
Think about it. This isn't Iraq—
that was clear-cut geopolitics and
had nothing to do with ethnicity.
The Serbs have a leader they agree
with, and they are perfectly simpatico with the idea of wiping out the
Muslims next door. They are wellarmed and on their home turf. Any
armed intervention, and we will
doubtlessly see the ghost of L.B.J,
and the red phantom of Ho Chi
Minh rise from their respective
graves, link arms and sing a rousing rendition of "Happy Days Are
Here Again." Maybe with Nixon
and Kissenger on backup vocals.
As much as I despise President
Clinton, I refuse to believe he is so
monumentally inept as to consider
a military solution.
Morality and realpolitik don't
mix. The Cold War is over—the
United States has no reason to stick
its red, white, and blue nose into
every domestic disturbance on the
planet. These things take money
which we don't have to waste and
American lives which the campus
warmongers seem only too glad to
waste. One might wonder how many
of the people most in favor of our
Balkan vacation would actually end
Friday, May 7, 1993
up fighting there should Clinton
say so. Volunteers from the ivory
tower? Fat chance.
If someone has got to go in, I say
we subcontract out to the Germans.
They like to kill people, and this
would give them a controlled environment for doing just that. The
Serbs will realize that they themselves are bungling amateurs compared to the new-and-improved
Wehrmacht. They want ethnic
cleansing? They'll get all the ethnic
cleansing they can stomach and
then some. There might not be a
single Serb or Bosnian left when
the Germans got done with them.
And it would be our job to applaud
politely from the sidelines. Sounds
great! The only problem is that littie
clause in the post-World War II German constitution that prevents them
from deploying troops outside German soil. Oh well, we put it in-I
suppose we can take it out. Might
want to add one to our own constitution while we're at it- would save us
a lot of trouble in the future.
It is time for America to wake up
and join the modem age, to make
money and not war. Peace (and have
a pleasant summer).
The Liberal Artist
by David Krugler
His mind was empty, thinking of
nothing which wasn't necessarily
bad since nothing could never bother
him. He just gazed, yet it felt as if
that even took effort.
"Hi," whispered a silky voice in
his right ear. He could feel the
warmth of the breath sweep by
him. He didn't turn around for
some reason, perhaps because it
was too pleasant.
When he finally did tum, he did
so deliberately to the left rather
than the right. He saw an obese,
damp face having difficulty breathing. He tried the right and found
the breath now on his lips. He was
surprised but did not flinch. He
was proud of himself for that.
She repeated the greeting again,
this time it seemed slower and he
could almost taste it. It was sweet
like a fmit he had never enjoyed.
She slipped her face past his to
his ear. He felt himself losing
control and stepped back. He
glanced down from her feet up to
her strawberry hair and smiled as
cooly as he could considering the
circumstances.
He wanted to say hi but knew
something would go wrong, so he
decided to lose his gaze in her. It
was easier that way. He knew she
was the one he had been looking
for.
"I'm glad you made it" he said
professionally, hoping to get as
pleasant response as her welcome.
"Yes...I've made it." She whispered still, but this time with more
passion.
He was pleased to hear an accent
from her voice, and smiled again,
still cooly. His mind raced.
"You've come a long way." His
insides tightened but he remained
firm.
"Let us go," she said turning
away from him. He instinctively
followed, knowing he'd be late. He
noticed she was considerably shorter
than she appeared because of her
heels, and again he felt a tiny victory.
She did not tum to face him on
their walk, but he did not object,
this way he could collect himself,
then he would be at the advantage.
She was awfully calm though. What
could she be doing here? He didn't
linger on these details for long, as
there was little time.
He noticed they walked at the
same pace, even though he was
maybe three or four inches taller,
and with this he became suspicious.
He called ahead to her, but she
kept walking. She didn't even tum
her head to listen. He tried to
increase his pace slightly so that if
she tumed around he would not
look as if he was trying to catch up.
Still, they remained exactly the
same distance apart. He slowed
down and accepted this fact.
He now became flustered at his

frustration and wished he could
apologize, but that would only create more. He wondered what would
happen if he stopped.
She finally walked into an apartment building but did not wait for
him. He hoped he would catch the
door before it closed.
She walked gracefully up the
stairs and he stared up at her as he
followed. As he passed the second
floor, he felt a drip of sweat mn
down his side. He hoped the third
floor would be the last. It was not.
Her heels clacked onto each stair
like the pendulum in an old grandfather clock. He recalled how
beautiful her eyes were, and the
smoothness of her skin. He smiled
as he considered the possibility of
being in heaven. He smiled even
wider when he realized the temperature was more like hell.
Although he had lost site of her.
he could tell she had found the room
.she was looking for. Her heels had
come to a standstill, and her keys
were already unlocking the door. He
began to take the steps by two, to
make sure he could see which apartment it was in case she closed the
door.
He got over the stairs too late to see
her, but the door was still open. He
let out a heavy pant and stmtted to her
room. He was sweating profijsely by
now, but he didn't care. It would be
worth every drop.
As he walked through into the
apartment he noticed her out on the
balcony. The French doors were
decorated with white lace, as was
most of what he assumed was the
living room. As he closed the door
behind him, he heard the balcony
doors close in unison. He tumed and
saw her again. It had seemed like
hours since they began their walk. He
dropped his newspaper and walked
defiantly toward her.
She raised her arms and crossed
them around his neck. She kissed
him with the same lips he had
almost kissed just five minutes ago.
She was not gasping as he was, and
he imagined that she must be very
athletic.
She kissed him for what seemed
an etemity. When she stopped, he
breathed in slowly. This way he
would not seem like such an ass.
She clasped his hand and headed
toward the bedroom which was
decorated in a hazy yellow. He
became excited and squeezed her
hand, searching for a response.
She knew she didn't have to give
him one, so she didn't.
She walked up to the edge of the
bed and fell with him. He felt his
damp shirt press against her, but
ignored it. He kissed her but it did
not feel the same as when she had
kissed him. Again he didn't care.
They made love for hours.
He walked into work after everyone had retumed from lunch. He
couldn't wait to tell his boss his
excuse; he'd love it.
She died two years later. He died
five years later. His wife died six
years later. His child died at six
months. What a day.

N( I i:i:i^ Asked, BiiL.
by Laura Anne Howell
We belong to a generation of cynics, or so 1 have been told. Perhaps
people are cynical because they feel
the world's problems are too huge,
numerous and beyond reach to be
solved. Perhaps they feel that—on a
planet with a population rapidly
approaching six billion—their contribution, regardless of how well
meant, would be insignificant in the
overall scheme of things and will
not do any good.
It is true that the world does have
many problems, ranging from global environmental problems, violence, drugs, disease, unemployment
and discrimination ofall sorts. When
even one issue is faced
head on, it
s e e m s
gargantuan.
Indeed, if
the people
see only the
larger problem, they
will feel insignificant.
T h e
impossibility of controlling the
w h o l e
w o r l d
would overwhelm anyone.
Focusing only on the final goal,
however, is not the way to accomplish any aim. People get discouraged by a seeming lack of progress.
They want to feel success instantly.
Small steps must be taken to achieve
large goals. Intermediate stages can
be identified and striven for, while
the end remains distant.
An act as small as sweeping up
the crack vials from a street corner
can send a message that drugs will
not be permitted to run the community. A friendly "hello" can alleviate the feelings of frustration and
anger imposed by hectic and, perhaps, uncaring society.
Just one word can improve the
world. It can make a difference.
Sure—it will not feed a million kids
in Africa, or educate all the illiterates in New York City, or bring
back the victims ofthe drug war; but
it might just be enough to prevent
someone from beating a spouse or
child because they had a bad day.
Learning to perceive what one
can and cannot change is a big
step toward reducing cynicism.
One cannot eliminate all loneli-
ness amongst the elderly, but one
can drop in on the 80-year-old
next door. One person cannot
make the landfills of the world
disappear but can insist on recycling at home. Such small steps
work towards the larger goals.
All people can help in solving
societies problems. Even an unemployed, homeless person can
be active. It does not take affluence to put bottles and cans in
the recycling bin (rather than in
the gutter), or to share a kind
word with passers-by.
We, the college educated social elite, have greater responsibi 1 i ti es

near future to make more difference than the average Joe Smoe.
Someday, we will be employers
and the policy-makers. Not only
will we be in the position to make
improvements, but as leaders, we will
have the obligation to. In order to be
ready to assume these responsibilities, we have to start now by seeking
out situations which we can change,
by acting within our own sphere.
Instead of sitting at home, watching
TV and assuming the world will function on its own, we should be shouting
our ideas, writing to lawmakers, or
running for office ourselves. We
should be active in our communities voluntarily. Even with
huge problems, small steps can
make a difference. By making
ourselves heard and by taking action where and when we have the
opportunity, we can make improvements on our society. After all, the
squeaky wheel is the one that gets
the oil.

VRI.
Friday, May 7, 1993
TTie class of 1993 has experienced the end of one age and the beginning
of a new one at Lafayette College. We've been part of the change from
Ellis to Rotberg, Marquis to Farinon, no mandatory meal plan to flexdollars, 77je Lcfayette and then the proliferation of campas newspapers,
the implementation of the computer networic and the end of LafayetteLehigh brawls. Some things have changed for the better, some for the
worst. Personally, living through this change has made my education all
the more lively.
Despite all ofthe changestiiathave taken place, onetilinghas remained
constant for me at Lafayette-tiie infinite possibilities for leaming. WhUe
tiie classroom has been rewanling, what makes the Lafayette education
extraordinary is die total leaming experience. While the classroom is
necessary, it is meaningless without learning and experiencing things firsthand. Tliis first- hand leaming took the fonn of late-ni^t chats in flie
house kitchen, writing computer applications for LINC, cutting administrative red-tape, stiidying abroad, fighting to have a co-educational
living group, writing for the papa; drinldng beers in pubs with professors,
and making lifelong friends. At many other institutions, I would have
nevei been given these opportunities to explore myself and die worid. (I
used to be a conservative Republican but now I'm just conftised.) Yes,
experiencing lifefirst-handand notjust reading about it has made my four
years at Lafayette tiie best yet
My four years at Lafayette have taught
me more about myself than I could have
possibly leamed anywhere else. Being a
minority athlete automatically labeled me
in a place where diversity was basically
non-existent and stereotypes were reinforced because of this. I went through a
social evolution of sorts, from trying to fit
in, to fmstration
because I knew
I didn't fit in, to
the present understanding
where I am and
using
this
knowledge to
better myself.
I feel that
here, AfricanAmericans and
other minorities
truly get the
most of the
"college experience" because
we are forced to
find out who we
are. We aren't
really part of
any campus
cliques, or the
Greek system,
so we must force ourselves to be independent actors and thinkers. Socially, we
must find ways to entertain ourselves in
settings where we feel comfortable. We
truly must leam and employ daily survival
skills everyday for four years to make it
and because of this, I think it helps us to
flourish more than the average student.
Through my Lafayette experience, I
have come to a greater understanding of
sacrifice, perseverance, uplift, motivation,
and dedication. I have leamed what it means
not only to be a strong man, but to be a strong
black man. After these four years, I feel that
there's nothing I can't achieve in life. My
advice to Lafayette students is "Don't be a
punk!" Take the time (and chance) to leam
about those who aren't like you.
There's no one in this world who's too
good for anyone
else and if you
don't realize this
before your four
years are over,
then by the time
you do, it will be
too late! This is a
chance of a life
time for everyone to grow as a
person so take
advantage of it
and let each one
teach one.
For AfricanAmerican students, be who
you are and
don't make excuses for any_
one, not even
other AfricanAmericans. Be
strong and love one another to the point
where you can look beyond petty differences. Only then will the black community reach the potential of its influence on
this campus. Use the system to your
benefit and by doing this, you will benefit
everyone around you.
My friendship with you all is everlasting, trust me! After all the struggles and
tears, and pain....WE'RE ALL GOING
TO GET PAID!! HA! HA! HA! PEACE.

I find, to my disappointment tfiat too rarely have we in the Lafayette community addressed tfie

supposed to be a time fbr sorting through the great questions of existence. In my fbur years on the

and lectures on the environment but discussion on matters such as what purpose we have for living-even fbr trying to help otfiers-is banished to rare 2 a.m. conversations.

me reason to doubt tfiat the many people who were executed before renouncing belief in Christ's
resurrection and saving power had a sound basis fbr martyrdom. As 1 enter "the real worid," I hope
disagreement or intolerance never intimidate me ftiom sharing my convictions witfi otfiers as I try
to demonstrate love to tfiem. For if only in a church building can 1 express my conviction tiiat a
man who once died was miraculously raised fromtfiedead, andtfiattfiishistorical event istfiemeans
of salvation and the source of my purpose and joy, then I might as well live out the rest of my life
in a 'Tishbowl on tfie Hill."
My fatfier once told me, "You don't
regret the things you've done, you
regret the tilings you haven't done!"
I've realized over die past few years
that, once again. Dad is absolutely
right Nexttimeinstead of talking about
doing sometiling, actually do it.
You
are
bound to regret it later
if you don't
even try to
carry out
y o u r
tiioughts or
dreams.
Much of
which
I
leamed during my four
years
at
Lafayette
did
not
come from
textbooks,
but from die
choices I made (bodi good and bad) and
my experiences. Lafayette has given
me an excellent education, great friends
and unforgettable memories-but more
importantiy, I have leamed valuable lessons and mles to live by. First ifyou want
something done right, do it yourself
Enough said, it's diat simple. Reinember
to laugh a lot and keep smiling-it can only
m a k e
tilings better. When
opportun i t y
knocks, answer. Respect odiers
and
be
o p e n minded,
and above
all else, be
yourself.
One more
thing, do
not ask second semester seniors
what they
are doing
after graduation: If diey know diey will tell you (i.e.
don't ask me cuz I ain't got no job!).

When I reflect on my years at Lafayette,
many thcHights go throu^ my head. I remember my first day here at Lafayette, wondering
what the next fbur years would hold in store for
me. I remember standing in die Intertaitii
Chapel while a person took a picture of me for
my student I.D. That was die beginning of die
joumey and now we are at die end of it.
I could not have completed the four-year journey
widiout a tenific suppoit system. TTie circle of
friends diat I have developed over the years at
Lafayette has been a significant asset for me, while
striving for success. I also am grateful for the family
support tiiat I have neceived fbr diese past four
years. Widiout dieir loving suppoit and encouragement, I could have never reached my goal of
graduation. TTie college lias also been supportive
of my experiences here at Iafayette. The college has
made every effort to make mytimehere at Lafayette
both enjoyable and memorable. Tbe faculty has
also added to this sujport system by mentoring me
dirough my scholastic activities at Lafayette.
My tour years at Lafayette have been a combination of academics and social interaction. I have
worked very hard academically in order to reach
scholastic success. But I have never missed a good
party such as spinning in my wheelchair at T-Delt
or senior night at CHT. I am also grateftU for the honor
of becoming a brother of Sigma Chi Fratemity. I have
tried to get the most out of my four years here and I believe
I have.
My time at Lafayette may be coming to an erxi but it
vrill never be forgotten. Life at Lafayette has had a maj<x
impact on me and I hope tfiat I have had a major unpact
on it I may be leaving, as a sttident on May 23 but yew
can be sure diat 1 will be back as an active alumnus.
Tiianks again fcM- everything and God Bless.

Expanding your mind-diat's what Lafayette is for. Well, my mind has been
expanded, and more dian in ju.st die academic sense. Not only did Lafayette
provide me widi a sound madiematics basis in order to continue on in die desert
but it deformed me socially and psychologically. Lafayette was once one of
tiie best places on eartfi to blowing off life for days on end, basking and baking
intfiesun. The Eartfi Days, All College Days, Band Days and sunny days filled
our lives widi memories diat lasted die moment (and were drowned in die beer
and odier substances so popular among our peers).
Among die most memorable events were watching people projectile vomit
around campus, climbing die dippy trees and watching die sunriseover Easton
liTom behind Ruef Hall. Altiiough diefiieshmenmay not see the ragings diat
happened here behind die fences, diey will create dieir own-even diough diey
will never watch die fiieedom irom die years past. Crazy Bob Rotberg has
symbolized a tightening of die first and a forced subordination among our
students, faculty and administi-ation. Hopefiilly an uprising will occur and die
students will seize die fortress once agian. Remember always pub nights. All
College Day on die quad,fiieebeer and open outdoor parties. Never forget
Peace.
During the last four years, I moved from McKeen to McKelvy to South
College to New York City to Berkeley to Paris to Hamilton Street. (Somewhere
in there I drove cross countiy a few times.) I guess my Lafayette experience
was far from typical. Contrary to popular belief, this college does not have
to be a place where you succumb to the myth of the bubble on the hill.
I've discovered that there's a lot of inspiration here- if you look for
individuals who can open your eyes, you'll find them. Take some of my
professors, for example, who guided and influenced me. They even responded
to my numerous questions. I, in tum, shared what they taught me with my cello
and French students. Lesson # 1: Live and love with all your might. Keep this
in mind and maybe you can overcome the bittemess and insecurity that often
blurs our vision here.
And you gotta believe in people. I've spent all these months with my
friends, finding what beauty is all about. What a gift they've given me. What
a memory.
When I get my paper, I'll be free. Then I'll look for tomorrow's
adventure.
"Oh! The Places You'll Go...

In reflecting upon my college career at Lafayette, one
tiieme thatrepeatedlycomes mind is Time. Time sure flies
when your havingftin,and indeed it has for me intiielast fbur
years. The happy times chilling witii my fiiends, playing
sports, and leaming valuable life lessons in and out of tfie
classroom have blown by me like a night's sleep. At die same
time, there have been periods here at school that have been
very tiresome, boring and monotonous, and generally crept
along like a fat crippled snail. Time can really play dicks on
your mind, and it is possibly the only diing in die universe
tfiat we will never be able to conquer or preserve.
Time has definitely changed the many personal relationships that I have made and cultivated here. Time has
enhanced some of them while it has erased and destixjyed
odiers, but I guess diis is normal. I have leamed how to more
clearly judge people and tiieir characters. Before Lafayette
I was very hasty, faiejudiced, and judgmental, and fbr diis
addition to my person I am didy diankfid.
Time has also changed our world tremendously while I
have been at Lafayette, and I feel we are a integral part of
history. Worid Communism has almost been wiped out
(I'm not sure if tiiat's good or bad) die evil Soviets are no
more, we have witnessed countiess wars and atix)citie.s, we
have our first LIBERAL democratic President in twelve
years (Thank God), and hopefiUly die midjle east will SOOTI
be at peace.
But, Time has not changed significandy one
aspect of my lifetiiatis of great importance to me, that is die
social inequities of America and Lafayette. Why can't we
be more socially unified and free of ignorance? Time has
not changed die ignorant racist attitudes of some people about
Muslims in die middle east tiie Latinos of die United States,
die Jews of die worid, nor people of Afiican descent on all
OMitinents, nor has Time elevated women from their second
class status in tiie society. I wish diat in my last four years
I could have done more, or even sometiiing significant to end
any of diese critical social issues, but maybe in die next four
years we will be able together to do somediing? Outski 5G. Buena Suerte!
Throughout our lives, we should continually evaluate ourselves,reflectingon
die events that have taken place, changes
that have occurred, as well as those
experiences yet to come. College should
be a time where we tiike steps of faitii,
engage in intellectual pursuits and pursue the development of character.
Grapple widi bigtiieologicalissues. Do
not merely dismiss such opportunities
for enrichment widi indifterent excuses
as, 'Tmtii is relative" or "You can't
prove anytiiing anyway." Think! Take
risks! Don't simply go widi die flow
because it is easy or politically correct
Take the time to discern what your
beliefs and convictions are, and tiien
have tiie courage to express diem.
Individually, we have been created by God for a unique purpose. Instead of just theorizing how
die worid should be, we need to take diat extra step and say, "What can 1 personally do?!" Volunteer
at tiie prison orretirementhome; look into tiiem as a career option. There are so many opportimities
tfiat we have here now, where we can selflessly care for others. "But lay up for yourselves treasures
in heaven where neitfier motfi nor mst destroys, and wheretiiievesdo not break in and steal" (Mattfiew
6:20).
Here at Lafayette College, I have grown tremendously in my Christian faitii, invested in fiiendships
tiiat will lasttiiroughouttiieyears, and become confident oftiiefiidjrebecause I know diat I am held
securely in God's hands. This does not meanfiieedomfix)mhardship, but it does mean tiiat I will
be given tiie sdiengdi to persevere. I have been blessed immensely witii a great family, a wonderful
finance, faitiiful fiiends and a joyful fijture. College shoidd not merely prepare us fbr "real" life,
we should be living our lives to die fidlest now!
Una Majmudar
Still in a way nobody sees a flower really
It is so small we haven't time
and to see takes time
like to have a fiiend takes time
- Georgia O'Keefe
This quote was on my page in my high school yearbook and
it still holds due. These four years have gone by so quickly. I
came to Lafayette scared, curious, and insecure. After fbur
years I am leaving scared of what lies ahead still curious about
manytilings,but confident tiiat I'll survive. Lafayette is a great
place to leam and explore. Take advantage of every
opportunity that comes your way and make die mo.st of every
day. Appreciate everything that you have, even die littie diings
diat seem insignificant. I've seen too many people just wanting
to "get by." That's not what life is all about. Don't be afraid
to take ariskor to ask a question. Challenge yourself and push
yourself to die limit to achieve your goals. Open your eyes to
new experiences and you'll leave witii a feeling of accomplishment.

Performance
Funk You
March Field
Lafayette College
Easton, Pennsylvania
May 2, 1993
by Brian Robb
When Berry Gordy started
Motown in late 1959, he was .so
confident that he would be successful that he hung a sign outside
his office that read "Hitsville
U.S.A." Sure enough, he made
superstars of Michael Jackson,
Marvin Gaye, The Temptations,
Stevie Wonder, and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Sadly
enough, the last of the great R&B
bands dissolved before the dawn of
the '70s and music has never been
the same. Until now.
At roughly 12:10 p.m. Sunday
on March Field, Funk You, Lafayette
College'sfirsttrue attempt at an R&B
band, took the stage to make musical
history. The band churned out nearly
35 minutes of rhythm and blues funk,
so laden with infectious hooks, they
would have made Booker T. and the
M.G.'sjealous.
The musical wasteland of Lafayette is a breeding ground for Grateful Dead wannabees and schmaltzy
classic rock cover bands, so much
that the emergence of an R&B outfit
is an appealing concept. The problem is, if not done cortectly, it'sjust
a concept.
Funk You was intent on tuming a
good idea into an incredible sound.
They had the look (sunglasses, nice
pleated white shirts, and ties), they
had a hom section (Matt Callahan
'94 and Kevin Curran '96). they had
'^The circle is
complete. . . Now I
atn the master.''
This is the final issue
of The Lafayette for
1993-94. Special
thanks go to all our
editors for the hard
work and
determination, Yvonne
for the endless hours
that I didn't have to put
in, AnTy for the
countless source of
jokes she inadvertantiy
provided, and all of
our readers whose
time and consideration
make the damn thing
worth publishing.
Good luck to Mike and
Amy, next year's coeditor in chiefs. Don't
panic. . . yet.
And my personal
apologies for the quip
that accidentally
appeared in last week's
T.W.Y.T., Brian.
May the Force
be with you. . .
Always.
-Michael Hilbom
back-up singers (Missy LaBov '93
and Jody Forester '93), and they
had the greatest R&B guitarist this
world has ever seen since Steve
Cropper (Chuck Stephenson '93).
Fortunately, Funk You took the
R&B concept to another plane.
Surprisingly, the audience was
receptive and greeted the band with
more respect than was expected,
but the band started off sluggishly.
They flew into an intense R&B
workout of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition," with the band working
overtime. Things were rolling
along, until Tramont Evans '96,
started to sing. The problem wasn't
that he couldn't sing; he was amazing. It was that it seemed like he
wasn't singing the same song the
band was playing. Evans had only
been with the band for a few days
and it sounded as if he had never
heard Wonder's 1972 number one,
smash hit. Just chalk it up to nerves.
Preferring to follow Otis
Redding's version of "R-E-S-P-EC-T," rather than the Aretha
Franklin one, the band put the backup singers to the test. A prerequisite to being a back-up singer in a
soul band is that you have to have
soul. Forester and LaBov, in all
their splendor, proved to be without soul. It sounded as though they
were screaming into the microphone on this and the Jackson 5
cover of "ABC." Luckily, the
band's appearance, the two showed
that they had some well choreographed moves which more than
made up for their lackluster performances.
When Evans broke into the
beginning of James Brown's "I'll
Go Crazy," the crowd went into a
frenzy. He hit stride, and was perfect. The band was as tight as ever
and even the back-up singers were
on. This carried through into Wilson Pickett's "Mustang Sally,"
where the bad was able to stretch it
out a little and show off.
The rhythm section of Scott
McCormick '93 and Jeremy Arfield
'93 knocked down some moody
grooves, with McCormick's bass
leading the band, but the true showmanship lay in Tim Jenkins' '95
keyboard playing. Jenkins dazzled
the crowd with his fills and staked
claim to the title of the campus'
best keyboard player. Even
Stephenson, who is normally reluctant to solo, ripped off a run that
put Steve Cropper to shame.
The band was invited to keep
playing as long as they liked, but
chose to leave them wanting more.
Before they began James Brown's
"Sex Machine," Evans invited the
crowd to get up and dance. Some of
the normally sedate listeners decided to follow his lead and dance.
The finale provided Evans with the
chance to show his stuff. He astonished the crowd with some incredible footwork culminating with him
leaping into a split. The audience
was satiated.
Funk You will be performing
11 a.m. tomorrow on March
Field as part of All College Day
festivities. They will also be performing on Monday, May 17 on
"Band Day" during Senior
Week.

Sexism and the Zetes
byscottmccormick
Hey. Wanna hear something that just isn't funny? At Zeta Psi's last
formal, each pledge had to get up in front of everyone (including their dates),
say who their date was, what they wanted to do with (to) tiiem, and what
their favorite sexual position is. (I can't print any of their responses because
of obscenity laws. . . .) I really stmggled to find an interesting way to bust
on tiiese guys, but then I just figured I would just come out an tell everyone.
This is tiie tmtii. Is tiiis sexist? I tiiink so. Maybe some of you tiiink it isn't
too cool for me to write about tiiis, but I really don't give a sh*t. This crap
has to go. These guys are losers and tiiey should all rot in hell. Don't worry
about tiiem getting kicked off because of me, sincetiieiraluinni give so much
money to this school. . . .
That's it
PART III In The Shameless Trilogoy Of

"Oh no, not you again. What is it tiiis time?"

'There aren't any more openings. Stop calling me or I'll call the police."
"Aw, come on. "You hired her. I've written a lot more bookstiianher."
"Well, Ms. Cell is qualified, and you're not. Besides, she's more
personable whereas everyone hates you. Thank you and have a ruce day."

mainsfream TV (CBS, NBC, ABC,
etc.) for American sdadies. She has
been on tiie Dean's List all her four
years, a Dana Scholar and National
Hispanic Scholar since her sophomore year, a member tiiis year of Phi
Beta Kappa, and president tiiis year
of Sigma Delta Pi.
Piiia has also excelled atiiletically
in women's track and field, a sport
she has participated in at the varsity
level since freshman year. Her honors include MVP her freshman year
and tiie Student-Atiilete Honor Roll
since its initiation by Eve Aticinson,
director of atiiletics, her sophomore
year.
'Track made me understand people
more, and tiie combination of athletic
and academic commitment has made
me a more confident person," Pina
comments. One of track and field's
three captains, Pina gamered the
Alumni Athlete of tiie Year Award,
the Maroon Club Student Athlete
Award and tiie Women's MVP all
tills year.
Pina of Puerto Rican and Dominican descent has also been a founding
member of SALSA (Student Alliance
of Latinos and Soutii Americans). "I
felt tiiere was a need for such a group
on this campus, because not many
people recognize and are aware of tiie
number of Latinos at Lafayette....We
have worked witii Easton's Spanish
Council, doing tutoring at volunteer
and rehabitational centers."
In addition, this exdiemely active
senior has been a resident advisor of
Marquis Hall for tiie past two years,
which has given her "...tiie opportunity to meet freshmen |l] normally
wouldn't meet, which has helped
I me] witii communication skills." This
has also strengtiiened Piiia's love of
acting, which she has manifested in
summer prtxluctions of tiie Independent Theater Company of Easton.
"Because of track during the fall
and spring, I've had to sacrifice tilings
like acting—I've only been able to
perform in one school production,'' Pina
says.
But she still found time to be a disc
jockey for WJRH and a research
assistant her junior and senior years,
and a teaching assistant her sophomore year. Also a Spanish tutor tiiese
past two years, her excellence in tiie
language was recognized her sophomore year when she received the
Frank Kline Baker Spanish and Latin
American Civilization Award.
Vaughn himself also demonsdnted
superiority in Spanish, as he received
the same award his sophomore year.
A govemement-law and Spanish
double major, Vaughn spent his junior year in Mexico City, Mexico.
And he plans to retum after graduation. He might even be able to go
tiiere on a grant-tiiat is, if he receives
the distinguished Fulbright Fellowship. A finalist in itsselection process,
he expects to hear a decision any day
now.
"I would live in more rural parts of
Mexico, doing research for 10
montiis. But I aim to go even if I don't
get tiie grant to teach English tiiere
for a good period of time," says
Vaughn.
Academically, Vaughn has been
on tiie Dean's List every year he has
been at Lafayette, and is a member of
Sigma DelUi Pi, Pi Sigma Alpha and
Phi Beta Kappa.
'To me, academics here has played
such a big role. You know, people do
their community services and the
like, but I tiiirdc
tiie most important tiling to me has
been tiie leaming in classes," Vaughn
expresses. 'Three outstanding professors tiiat I've had come to mind:
[John] McCartney [govemment-law],
[James] Lennertz [govemment and
law], and [Joseph] Arboleda [Spanish]. My relationship with tiiem has
had a great impact upon me, and I will
remember tiiem for tiie rest of my
life-not only as intellectuals, but as
great people as well."
Vaughn's community service,
nonetheless, has also been a dedicated commitment. He started off
with membership in tiie Brotiiers of
Lafayette and LCF (Lafayette Christian Fellowship) his first two years ("I
leamed a lot about myself as a Christian on its trip to Trinidad"), then
volunteered at tiie Soup Kitchen and
became a peer counselor his second
year. The latter is sometiiing he still
does, as is his consistent three-year
membership in ABC (Association of
Black Collegians) and participation in
intiamural softball.
In addition, Vaughn was one of the
creators of Aya during his sophomore
year. "That's been a rough road. It's
asking a lot of a small number of
people, who can only give so much
commitment," says Vaughn. "But
it's been an extremely valuable experience—1 was able to write, and I
leamed about editing and layout."
Uf>on retum from Mexico, Vaughn
continued his involvement witii Aya,
became an editor of CHANGE (Creating Harmony, Avenues for New
Growth and Experiences) and a Spanish tutor, volunteered at tiie Easton
Spanish Center, tutored at the Shiloh
Baptist Church, and joined SALSA
and FLAG (Friends of Lesbians and
Gays). He also wrote a column on an
every-other-week basis for The
Lafayette.
"I tiiink my biggest commitment
tills yeiir was writing the column. It
would take a lot of time totiiinkabout
what I wanted to write-and tiien to
write it," Vaughn explains. "It also
was vei7 gratifying when people
would come up to me and express a
sincere appreciation about what I
wrote. Professors have even sent me
positive feedback through tiie mail."
One aspect of Lafayette College
that Vaughn encourages is tiie opportunity for students to do independent
resesirch, and to present tiieir woik.
"The oral
presentations of my independent
study that I was able to do [at tiie
National Conference of Undergraduate Research at tiie
University of Utah andtiieCaribean
Cultural Center] were very rewarding, and I was pleased with tiie number of students who went.
"I tiiink stiidents need to be encouraged to start tiiirddng about honors
thesis ideas earlier-to funnel energy
into sometiiing productive-especially
among minority students," Vaughn
continues. 'Those involved witii tiie
black studies minor are tiying to do
this; right now, there are no blacks
who are doing theses here."
One can only imagine the accomplishments that Pina and Vaughn will
attain, let's say, 10 years from now.
And what would they recall most
about Lafayette?
"I tiiink I would remember how I
had to argue with virtually
everyone to do two tiieses," says
Piiia. "My advisors were supportive,
but everybody else was skepticalwhich acttaally gave me more motivation to do it."
"A wonderful experience,"
Vaughn replies, "was McKelvy
Hou.se. I've lived tiiere for five semesters, and tiiere is a certain bond.
It's a leaming experience, getting to
know all kinds of people well, in a
coed environment."
And what willtiiese"ideal" Lafayette
students spieak about at graduation?
"I never imagined myself as an
'ideal' Pepper Prize winner," laughs
Vaughn. "I mostiy diought tiiat such a
honor would be given to a more 'typical' sttident-someone who embodies
the "rich and white' qualities of
Lafayette....So 1 haven't really diought
about what I would talk about."
"I have no idea yet either," echoes
Pina.
With these two great minds, their
possibilities are endless. And, who
knows,togetiiertiieycould even come
up with something completely unprecedented.

INTERN(Continued from page 2)
In close resemblance to her intemship this semester, Brough also
helped Ponderosa, a steak house
restaurant in Phillipsburg, to increase their customer accounts, sales
and revenue. The restaurant was
not doing very well business- wise,
so she proceeded to find out what
customers the restaurant was attracting. She discovered that repeat
customers frequented the restaurant
the most and tiien decided that they
should try to target families witiiin a
five-mile radius. Brough, along witii
tiie management set up special birtiiday values and family discounts as a
means of enticing customers.
Brough advises all students to
take advantage of all of the intemship opportunities available because
"it is definitely a conversation piece
in job interviews." In addition, she
most valued the ability to give her
own input rather than following the
demands of her employer.
Senior Cindy Palmer has had a
different experience from the previous students, in that much of her
work rested on a long term independent project that culminated
outside of her employer. She is
currently concluding her internship for the Northampton County
Development Corporation in
Easton. For the past semester.
Palmer has had to survey new companies that have just entered the
area and to then compile a report
from this data to present to her
company.
Upon the conclusion of her intemship, her employer will hold a
conference and present her findings to the 30 companies involved
in her study. Much of the statistical
data Palmer gathered probed the
companies in areas such as what
funding they were receiving, and
what they thought the positive and
negative aspects of the Lehigh Valley area were. In addition to ex-

impact that homosexuality has
on people. The controversy is
"not about homosexuality, it is
simply about sexuality." She
clarified this by pointing out
how homosexuality challenges
traditional roles of males and
females. To Fridley, pro-gay
means simply to be pro-human,
pro-developmental and to allow
others to live their lives openly
and freely.
The discussion then opened
up to the entire audience, and
people began raising questions
and concerns covering many
topics, from the NAMBLA organization and categorization to
overt bigotry to "coming out of
the closet." To all of these concerns, Fridley helped facilitate
more thought and more questions.
"Right now, I'm not really
concerned with overt bigotry,"

should be allowed to define
"who they are, what the believe

A member of the audience
commented on the situation
faced by h o m o s e x u a l s at
Lafayette. Fridley responded
to this concern by stating that is
"hard to be out, even in less
conservative areas." She noted
a recent rise in violence not only
a g a i n s t h o m o s e x u a l i t y , but
against open sexuality in general. Of the violence she said,
"it is entirely because people
are fearful."
The discussion closed with a
final round of comments by participants. Fridley also reiterated
the main focus ofher talk. "This
is a very fluid time," she said,
"and people need to realize there
really isn't a grand canyon of
difference b e t w e e n gay and

thanks to FLAG and all those
who attended, for helping this

The system, though complex, is
quite flexible. DelManzo indicated
that the electronic keys could be
"coded by student and would be
monitored by central computer."
Essentially, the computer could tell
security who entered a hall and

also eliminate the need to change

simply reprogram the system to

says DelManzo.
If a student's card is reported
missing or stolen, the computer
could be "told" to deny that card
access to residence halls. 'Tf everyone works together to report lost
cards," explains DelManzo, the
system could prove very efficient.
DelManzo states that other colleges have installed similar systems

my life that made the accident endurable, and later meaningful: faith,
family and friends. Faith that everything happens for a reason. Family as the unconditional love that
surrounds me. And friends for the
undying support and laughter that
uplifts me. These three F's have
proved, time and time again, to be
more than applicable today—three
years after that fateful moming.
And so what have I leamed at
Lafayette? I've mastered that leaming is relative, that perseverance is
key, and that humor is essential to
living (well). And in a sense, I can
find these lessons in my experience
with The Lafayette. I especially
have tried to instill persistence in
my staff, to create the best possible
student newspaper. There is always
room for improvement, granted,
yet I dare to hope that a standard of
accuracy and integrity has been
established within the newspaper.
I cannot believe that just two
weeks are left till graduation. And
so, cliche as it may seem, I want to
thank those friends here who have
remained supportive, encouraging,
faithful and often the reason for my
smiling (it's not easy having a friend
who is an editor in chief): You
know who you are, women (ooops,
a few men, too). Thanks for everything.
And peace, a lot of peace.
Fordham slowly crawled back into
the game, tiianks to Becky Cowper
and Carmen Mondelli. The Leopards fought back, scoring two mns in
the top of tiie sixtii inning to tie tiie
score at eight. But tiie Rams were
able to knock in two more mns and
hold off the Leopards in the seventh
inning, to win the game 10-8.
Lafayette had a great day offensively. They had eight mns off of
14 hits. The eight mns tied their
season high game total which was
set against the same Fordham team
on April 4. Unfortunately, Lafayette's five errors enabled
ping five. Comfort with a hat trick,
and seniors Phil Berkeley and Ed
McLauglin with one a piece. Junior R.J. Wiegand tallied two goals,
while sophomores Julian Choi and
Andrew Wallach had one each,
and freshman Pete Gilligan rounded
out the scoring with one as well.
"Comfort and Hazzard lead the
scoring and were the bulk of the
offense, both having an exceptional game," comments Sargent.
"They not only had an exceptional game, but an exceptional
season all the way around," adds
McDonald.
The team is happy about winning their last few games, but
because these last few games were
postponed from the beginning of
the season, they would have
wished to play them earlier since
"it would have been better to start
the season 3-1 rather than 1-3,"
according to Sargent.
Eight seniors depart this season
upon graduation: Scott Cooper, Pat
Dolan, Chris Johnson, McLauglin,
Hazzard, and Berkeley. As Middies was their primary loss, the
team hopes for some strong recmits
from next year's freshman class.
Next year, the Leopards downgrade their schedule a bit from their
top notch division one schedule,
dropping Hofstra and Rutgers, to
play more Patriot League teams at
their level to hopefully be above
.500.
On Sunday, the Leopards
handed out six awards at their
banquet. Hazzard was named
MVP, followed by Sargent grabbing MIP honors. Comfort was
the offensive MVP, while Cooper
took defensive MVP honors.
Comfort also did the best with
ground balls, while Wallach won
the Wing-Nut Award.

Highlighting the Lafayette
women's cause were a pair of
athletes who have been up to the
task all year: captain Tinabeth
Pina '93 and Shannon Brennan
'95. Coming off a hamstring injury that stalled her workouts at
the beginning of this season, Pina
saved the best for last as she
placed third in the 100-meters
(12.74 seconds) and fifth in the
200-meters (26.62 seconds).
Brennan, after breaking two
school records the previous week,
proved that her performances were
not flukes, by taking fourth in the
longjump (17'3 1/4"), third in the
triple jump (37' 2 1/4"), and second along with Pina, Mary Deegan
'94, and Heather Howlett '95 in
the 4x100 relay. Other solid
showings on the day included
sophomore Emily Durbin's pair
of sixth place finishes in the ham-
mer and javelin throws, senior
Lenore Brough's third place tally
in the 10,000 meter event, and the
fourth place 4x800 relay team
comprised of Donna Sepulveda

Gloss '95 and Brenda Toma '96.
Up next for Leopard track and
field are the men's IC4A meet and

the culmination of nine months of
official training, dating back to
the beginning of school in September. Over the long haul. Coach
Piazza and his staff have seen the
development and maturation of a
number of fine athletes that will
make up Lafayette's strong
nucleus next year. With the infusion ofa solid recruiting class, the
Leopard's look to claw their way
up to the top of the Patriot League.

The Lafayette College Crew
Club competed for the first annual
"River Cup" this past weekend.
The cup, which was donated by
members of both Lafayette and
Lehigh University's crew teams,
is to be awarded annually to the
winner of the most races in the
dual meet between the Lehigh
Valley rivals.
Unfortunately for Leopard fans,
the cup will reside in Bethlehem
for the next year. After an exciting series of races, the Leopards
found themselves with four victories, being etched out for the victory by a single race.
Victorious for the Leopards was

Bucknell in double
by Karen Hughes
This week, the men's lacrosse
team concluded its season with one
final win against Patriot League foe
Bucknell University, and ended the
season with a 4-8 record.
On Saturday, the Leopards ventured to face-off with the Bison in
front of probably "the biggest crowd
we've ever played in front of,"
comments sophomore Gordon
McDonald.
This meticulous game definitely
was a great way to end the season.
Up by one goal in regulation,
Bucknell had the ball at midfield
with 10 seconds left. The Bison
screened junior Leopard goalie
Ryan Stewart, causing him to come
out of the cage for a better view.
One Bison player then flung a shot
well over all the defense (along
with over Stewart's stick), looping
into the goal with no time left.
Sophomore Dan Sargent says,
"That was the luckiest shot I've
ever seen in my life."
With no time left and a tie score
at 14-14, the teams battled in overtime. The first remained scoreless,
so in a sudden death second overtime, the Leopards claimed victory
by finishing 15-14 when junior Dave
Comfort scored the winning goal.
He scored on a shot he had been
unsuccessfuly trying to execute
during the game.
The team as a whole "played
well, though the same mistakes
were made in this game that were
made all season," comments Sargent.
The team apparently gave up
many fast breaks, and missed some
cutters, but the defense was,"solid,
and by far was the offensive's best
game," adds Sargent.
The team enjoyed the competitive game. It was also Bucknell's
Earth Day, so bands were playing
through the duration of the game,
and the crowd "jeered and tantalized us, but we expected it," says
McDonald.
Ahead of time, the Leopards
knew they should win, since
Bucknell previously lost to Lehigh
University (who the Leopards beat).
But the Leopards were underdogs
due to their weak record.
Scoring for the Leopards included

Softball ends season
hy Bryan Lloyd
Last week, the Lafayette softball
team ended their 1993 season in the
Patriot League Toumament. The
Leopard's pertbrmance in the tournament was unfortunately consistent with the way the team played
all year. Going into the tournament, the team had a 4-30 overall
record, a last place 3-9 Patriot
Leaugue record, and a 13- game
losing streak.
The Leopards first squared off
against Bucknell. It appeared that
Lafayette was going to put up a
fight after they scored the first two
mns of the game in the top of the
second inning. But Lafayette did
not score any more mns. Bucknell
responded with eight runs in the
second inning. The Bison went on
to win 14-2, and the lO-mn mle
was applied after five innings because Bucknell carried at least a 10run lead going into the 6th inning.
The Leopards had only five hits in
the game, compared to Bucknell's
17. Heidi Ritter '94 was 2-2 and
scored a mn for the Leopards.
The second game against
Fordham was very fmstrating for
the ailing Leopard squad. Once
again, Lafayette took an early lead.
They were up 6-2 after two innings.

After losing three games in a
row, the Lafayette College baseball team swept a doubleheader
from the College of the Holy
Cross. The team's winning streak
was stopped at two, however, as
they were swept in a doubleheader by Lehigh University, and
dropped a 11-7 decision to Towson State University. On a brighter
note, second baseman Scott Miltenberger '94 collected hits in all
five games to mn his hitting streak
to 12 games.
Lafayette's two victories over
the Crusaders were close contests. In the opener, Lafayette
prevailed in 10 innings, 5-3. Dan
King '94 picked up his fifth win
on the season, going eight strong
innings. The Leopards pounded
out 14 hits along the way, while
yielding only six hits and three
mns. In the nightcap, die Leopards again prevailed by two mns.
winning this contest 6-4. Senior
Co-captain Scott Werkhoven went
1 and 2/3 innings to claim his third
win and Lafayette's 11th win of the
season. The Leopards then pounded
out nine hits and plated six of them,
completing the sweep ofthe doubleheader. Lafayette could not extend
their winning streak, mnning into a
strong Lehigh team and lost the
doubleheader, 5-4, 5-4. In game
one Lafayette trailed early when
Lehigh po.sted one mn in the first.
The Leopards came back with one
mn of their own in the second, only
to see Lehigh take the lead back
with a single tally in the third.
Lehigh posted single mns in the
fourth, six and seventh innings to
pull ahead of the 'Pards, 5-1.
Lafayette tried to come back in
their half of the seventh. Miltenberger '94 smoked a two-mn double
to the right, and cut Lehigh's lead
to 5-3. Lafayette scored one more
on a wild pitch and had the tying
mn on third with two outs. Mike
Mancia '94 looked to drive in the
equalizer but stmck out to end the
game. For the Leopards, Werkhoven went seven innings, allowing
five mns on eight hits while being
saddled with the loss. Lafayette
collected eight hits, including doubles by Miltenberger and John
Cubala '94, while scoring four
mns. The win by Lehigh knocked
Lafayette of the race for the Patriot League Southern Division Championship.
In the nightcap, Lehigh jumped
out to a four-mn lead, with tiiree
in the first and one in the second.
Lafayette then cut into the lead
with two in the second and one in
the third. Lehigh pushed their
lead to two mns with a single mn
in the fourth, and went into the
sixth leading 5-3. In the sixth,

Overmatched.
Despite a number of outstanding
individual efforts, the Lafayette
College men's and women's track
and field teams could not muster
enough attack to score heavily at
this past weekend's Patriot League
Championships at Bucknell University. Lacking depth and scoring
in a number of key events.the Leopard men staked a fifth place finish
(60 points), and the Lafayette
women dropped down into sixth
place (43 points). Army, the
league's dominant power, showcased their mite by taking both the
men's and women's title.
With high expectations entering
the meet, the final results would
seem to be less than pleasing. However, Head Coach Julio Piazza expressed a slightly different reaction, attributing shortcomings to
the quality of Lafayette's competitors. Judging by the performance tumed in by Coach Piazza's
feisty crew, this assessment is worthy of merit.
Specifically,

Leading this charge were captains

1:50.7 split in tiie 4x800 relay to era.se
a huge deficit and give his squad the
victory. Coach Piazza commented
on Sayre's effort: "Wally had a great
race. It is a tribute to him for not

end." Not to be outdone, Corcoran
worked his way into tiie Lafayette
record booLs by mnning a 3:49.31
