Hot Lips contests license denial
University of Dayton DAYTON, VOLUME XXIX, NUMBER 25 omo 45469 FRIDAY, JANUARY 14,1983 Hot Lips contests license denial BY MARY KATHERINE BRUCKEN The denial of a liquor license for the proposed expansion of Hot Lips restaurant, at Brown Street and Irving Avenue, has created controversy in the Brown Street business community. According to Cecila Graham, Hot Lips o,mer, her business meets all the requirements but was denied a license for · political " reasons. Graham's appeal of the denial was accepted rn Common Pleas Court Wednesday. The problem with the proposed expansion centers on two themes: saturation and congestion. The controversy began when area businesses complained the expansion could aggravate already severe traffic problems They also en listed the help of Dayton Mayor Paul Leonard in opposing the expansion. However, Graham and some city officials believe saturation and the fear that Hot Lips Nould become " another Tim 's" prompted the oppositron. Graham said , " The students are not the problem, but the status quo businesses which wish they weren ' t in a student area." Dave Hume, Pine Club owner, said his opposition to the expansion is prompted by parking and traffic problems. ' There's already a tremendous parking and traffic problem in our area. Let's not aggravate It anymore," Hume said. The liquor license, Hume said, was not an Issue for him. "What really concerns me is businesses have made a commitment to the community, and I'm concerned aboll-t the planned, logical development of the area," Hume aald That takes a "cooperative and compati- ble" relationship among the local business, he added. Although Pine Club representatives were quoted as saying giving a liquor license to Hot Lips would encourage "rowdy student gatherings," Hume said those statements were "fabrications." Hume has sent a letter of apology to the University, howe.ver. The University also sent a letter to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) that ex- presssed its concern about the Hot Lips changes. Dan Henry, assistant to the president, said the letter's position was that "there is a significant traffic and parking problem and any extension of those problems was of great concern to us." Henry also said the license was an issue. Expansion of Hot Lips, Henry said, would be "adding insult to injury." r Hot Lips, the Mexican restaurant at the corner of Brown Street and Irvin~ Avenue, finds itself waiting out in the cold for a liquor license.

Duane Wicks, City of Dayton senior planner and secretary to the BZA, said while the official reason for denial was congestion, "I don 't see congestion in the street as a valid issue." Wicks said the Brown Street business strip was " peculiar," with "some unusual business alliances. " Wicks said the facts in Hot Lips' case did not justify a denial of the liquor license. Saturation is a liquor control board issue; it is not in the BZA's power to make that type of decision, Wicks said. He also pointed out that only five businesses on Brown Street have liquor licenses and three of those are restaurants. Parking and traffic flow , according to Wicks, would not be significantly affected by an expansion of Hot Lips. " Of all the restaurant groups, Hot Lips was the one most in compliance with parking requirements,"' Wicks said. Because the Pine Club opened 35 years ago, its parking requirements fall under a "grandfather clause." This means while parking requirements have been updated, businesses already established follow the requirements needed when their business opened. Hume admits Pine Club business exceeds the amount of parking available. Graham said she believes Pine Club opposition stems from parking space conflicts. Pine Club customers currently use Hot Lips' lot, she said. However, Hume said his customers rarely use the parking spaces owned by Graham. Another concern raised at the BZA hearing was property devaluation because of the added congestion and student gatherings. Both Wicks and Graham said they believed an empty storefront would do more to devalue property than an opened business. - - - - - - - - - - - - - ----.... Ciufo names successor to fill empty court seat BY TOM BIEDENHARN Student Association President Phil Ciufo appointed A.J. O'Hara over nine other applicants to the University's Student Judiciary Sunday to replace Mike Ruffolo, who graduated In December. O'Hara was officially named to the position after he received unanimous approval from the SA Directorate at a meeting Sunday. According to the SA Constltutlon,'a majority vote Is required and at least four-fifths of the directorate must be present to approve such an appointment. According to Ciufo, O'Hara was one of seven applicants not picked for the court at the beginning of the first semester. Ciufo said he sent a letter to those seven this semester Informing them they were being reconsidered for the vacated post. Three new peo· pie also submitted applications for review this semester Ciufo said the position was not publicized more because of the time factor. Accord ing to the SA constitution: " When a position In the Student Judiciary is vacated, this vacancy must be fllled through nomination by the president and approval by the Directorate within two weeks of said vacancy." According to Ciufo, two weeks would not be sufficient time to interview all those who wished to apply and still gel the directorate's approval. Ciufo said he d•d not hold Interviews ut semeste< because he was not poaltl't'e Ruffolo would graduate and did not want to be premature In his appointment. c,ufo sa•d Chief Justice Maggie O Donnell aerit him a letter Jan. 3 offrcialty verifying the vacancy Althougti 0·0onnell aald she told C ufo a.st semester of the vacanc1.

THE FL YER NEWS News Friday,Jan.14, 1983 3 New tuition plan aids students BY DAVE KUZMA Dayton goes Hollywood Although Ted Baxter did not really graduate from the University's communication arts department, Henry Rush shows his fondness for UD by wearing some bookstore fashions. Ted Knight, who has played both Baxter and Rush, will be costumed in a UD sweatshirt in a " Too Close for Comfort " episode at 9 p.m. Thursday on ABC-TV. Twana Chambers, a UD alumna now working for Action Line at the Dayton Journal Herald, and Doug Hauschild , assistant sports 1nformat1on director, sent Knight the sweatshirt several months ago According to Chambers, the idea to send the sweatshirt to Knight, who wears two or three sweatshirts from different colleges per show, came from an Action Line reader. Chambers contact ed the producers of the show, who gave her tips on what type of sweatshirt to send. (Chambers sent a baby blue sweatshirt to match Knight 's eyes). A recent program developed jointly by the Bursar's Office and the Financial Aid Office provides assistance for those students unable to pay their tuition on time. This program is the Student Deferred Payment Plan . According to Robert Hildreth , director of financial aid, the program was developed last summer and was first implemented during the fall semester. It enables eligible students to delay payment of a portion of their bill. Hildreth said the amount deferred is placed into the student's account early in the term to satisfy charges to the student. The amount deferred, plus a one-and-ahalf percent monthly interest rate (18 percent annually), is due two months later. So , for this semester, payments are due March 1. Nancy Graf t, bursar, said the new program was developed "i n recogn ition of the economy. Some families no longer can get student bank loans to cover both terms. Since the bank loan situation has changed, the federal money isn 't available. Some problems exist this year that weren't present last year." According to Hildreth , " With less federal money available to award students, there has to be an innovative way to make up for it. So we came up with this to help t hose students. It's a compromise position; a middle ground between paying tuition in cash or by a monthly payment plan. " Althou gh it is a type of aid for students, Graft said , "It's not intended for those who can't pay their tuition. Instead, it is intended for those who will have the money in a month or two." Hildreth said, "It's an excellent program for families with financial problems. It has certainly helped us in financial aid to provide better service to the students." He said 26 or 27 families took advantage of the Deferred Payment Plan last semester. " There are many more using it this semester, but it's too early to estimate the number." Graft added, " It's too soon to see how it will affect the University. We don 't have the fe edback yet. " Although it is a relatively new program, it does appear to be an effective one. " We had good success with it during the first term, in spite of the limited number of families participating. We 're happy with the results. It has proved to be a useful tool to help families with the high costs of education," Hildreth said . This new program is also prepared for students who may default on their payments. According to Hildreth , students who default will be charged a $50 penalty plus the 18"percent annual interest fee . " The longer they don 't pay, the more the interest will be. Also, they cannot register for the next term until it is paid," Hi1dreth said . Graft explained, " The purpose of the Bursar's Office is twofold. We protect the University's cash flow, and we try to help the students financially. " Further information about the Student Deferred Payment Plan can be obtained from the leaflet Financial Aid News, which is distributed from the Financial Aid Office.

Only this time, Goliath won - at least round one. Graham is the owner of Hot Lips, a small Mexican restaurant located at Brown Street and Irving Avenue, and the battle centered around .whether the Dayton Board of Zoning Appeals should approve the restaurant's liquor license application. According to Graham , the facts of the situation should have resulted in an easy approval of the liquor app lication. After all, Hot Lips did meet all the city and state qualifications for a liquor license. Even Duane Wicks, senior planner for the city of Dayton and the secretary for the Board of Zoning Appeals, said the facts in the Hot Lips case did not justify the denial of the liquor license. Yet , in spite of these facts, the Board of Zoning Appeals turned down Hot Lips ' application , citing heavy traffic congestion in the area as the reason. Graham sees another reason for the motive: politics. And when the facts are considered, her view might be closer to the truth. After all, Wicks , himself secretary of the Board of Zoning Appeals, said in the Hot Lips case, congestion was no issue. And the facts show Hot Lips has adequate reserved parking facilities, and a majority of the restaurant's clientele would be University students whose patronage would not seriously affect traffic congestion in the area. Why was the application really turned down then? Perhaps the .situation is clarified more when two of Hot Lips' influential oponents are identified. The Pine Club and the University were both opposed to Hot Lips' liquor license. Despite grumblings from both that traffic and parking congestion were major problems, it is easy to see other motives for opposing Hot Lips' application. The University, always wary of its alcohol-related image, would like nothing better than to keep another local bar from opening. And the Pine Club, with its elite clientele, is in no hurry to have another college bar near its establishment. Perhaps when David battles Goliath in round two in appeals court, the court will take some of the congestion out of the air and acknowledge that Hot Lips was a victim of political games.

To most students, they are what school 1s all about. Grades determine the future. They decide whether a student graduates with honors, whether he graduates on time or whether he even graduates at all. Grades determine whether a student receives high-pay ing offers from well-established companies or whether that same student spends a couple of months pacing the unemployment lines. The cliche about how "it 's the earning, not the grades, which are important" 1s no longer valid. The truth is that grades tell the story, tor good or for bad. And from that ugly truth comes another the fact that the grading process Is filled with pressure, both on the student and the teacher. Such an observation was apparent during finals week last aemester when I went to check my final grade In a business class. To be tactful, I could say that this specific class did not live up to pre-semester expectations. To be truthful, however, it would be more accurate to describe It as a blow-off class." Harangue By JOHN PODCZERWINSKI security number, I noticed a predominance of good grades given to students - too good, in fact. Curious about exactly how good the grades were, I took an informal count. The result was amazing: 45 A's, 14 B's, 3 C's, 0 D's and O F's. "Were these grades for the same class that I had attended?" I asked myself. Sure enough, the answer came. Over 70 percent A's were given to a class which students seldom attended. Many quest ions could, and probably should, be raised over such a statistic . Does anyone review the grades teachers give out? Is anything ever done if a professor consistently gives out an exorbitant number of A's and B's, or, in the more isolated case, if a teacher fails large numbers of students? What is the University policy on grade reviews? According to Bro . Joseph Stander, vice president of academic affairs and provost, the only type of review performed by the University is through its Institutional Studies division, which prepares a list breaking down the number of specific grades given out by each department. Rarely, however, is an individual teacher highlighted by the breakdown. In addition , according to Stander, it is then up · to the specific schools of the University to decide whether there are any grading problems based on the study. There is no set University practice. And this might be precisely the problem. A spokesman for one of the schools in the University referred to grading as a " professorial prerogative. " He also said he does not believe " we (the school 's administration) are in a position for such a subjective evaluation" of grading policy. A representative from a different school , however, claimed his school generally reviewed teachers' grading polic ies when questions were raised. Such discrepancies between different schools in the University might point out a serious weakness i n UD ' s internal academic controls. Is a Universitywide policy needed concerning grade reviews? Or is the current school-by-school approach adequate? While my one individual case might not be enough reason for such a change, perhaps it will make people consider such important questions. Especially since the subject the pressurized area of grades faces constant challenges from the problem of grade inflation.

Despite he disappointing f1n1 sh UD coach Walt DeAnna ia! l!'Ore than hap py with his team 's perfmmance. . " We played a good game, cons idering ,t was o~r first '3me and th eir sixth. Our youngsters made a few .~,stakes ue O inexperience, but that was to be expec ted , DeAnna d ·we played much better than I thought we would," captain Tom Bag li o said . " I was impressed with the play of our freshmen , especially since it was their first game." . The good news for t he icers was the defensive play and Chris Baker's goaltending. Freshmen John Rohan and Matt Tullio overcame firstgame jitters to stand out for the defense. In the nets, Baker kept UD in the game by recording 34 saves . " Our defense played very well. We didn 't give them too many good attempts and , when we die , Chris came up with the big saVf'!S. They scored because of our errors that we will cut down on as we gain experience, " DeAnna said. " The defense looked real good and they gave me a lot of help," Baker added . " Hopefully this will be a good indication of how we will play all year. " Offensively, the icers had their problems primarily because of inexperience. UD managed 27 shots and got goals by Baglio and sophomore Tom Spuzzillio. " We outplayed them offensively, but we missed passes that we will make later in the season, " DeAnna said . Baglio added , " As we gain experience I expect our offense to improve. We used four lines and we weren 't used to skating together." The icers will need a better offense, as well as another strong defense, when they travel to Indiana University for two games this weekend. The Hoosiers finished third in the Midwest Collegiate Hockey League last year and return most of their players. "Indiana can really score goals. We'll have a better idea about our team after this week, " DeAnna said.

In a come- fromhind victory, Dave Murdock took 118-pound weight class. W ith s onds to go, Murdock overhis opponent fer the victory. v1l!OC won by a score of 6-4 to his season record to 6-1. ch Larry Dryden considered Murdock win one of the big m lches of the night. He cite d e Hal Tom Coff man, Eric borne and John Schnecker as o ~er leading wrestlers in the wre lied his way to a 29-6 n th 150-pound class, and n I Impressed with his work pas t two meets. " He's scored 29 and 24 points in his last two matches . That is an unbelievably high number, even f or a wrestler of his caliber. He played one of the big matches for us tonight," Dryden said. Hall 's record is now a respectable 9-4. It was Coffman's (t he team captain) win that really put the match away for the grapplers. With 27 seconds left on the clock, he pinned his opponent. This raised his season total to three pins. His ove rall record is 9-2. Th e grappler who has been UD's big pin man all year, Schnecker, also won by a pin. This ra ises his season to tal to nine pins and a season reco rd of 9-4. Th e wres tlers have been injuryprone latel y, although this didn 't show Wed nesday night. Dryden was encourag ed by the depth sh own agai nst Wi ttenberg . " We had some kids out, but showed tha t we had the depth to fill the holes. Th at is very encouraging, " Dryden said . It also would seem an encou rg ain g factor for next year's team, although this season is still young. Many of the younger wrestlers are getting a chance because of the injuries. UD's next match is Saturday at Wabash College. While Dryden is pleased with his team right now, he believes it needs to get in better shape. According to the coach, " We've done very well in our early matches, but our toughest teams are coming up next. We 've still got Miami, the University of Chicago and Wright State again . The worst is still ahead of us." Gerulaitis $20,000 for his, AIM still made enough to cover its expenses for the coming year.

The Un vers ty of C ncinnati's Kevin Gaffney had at rare pleasure Wednesday night at Riverfront CollseJIT' 11hen the Bearca s topped UD 50-49. Gaffney ~,as O of 7 from he field when he lofted a 16-foot jumper with 22 seconds to play. The shot dropped '/1/ h 1t fell UD's record, to 8-5. T e F',ers tried twice in the final seconds to pull e game out The clock had ticked under 10 seconds 11Mr UD guard Kevin Conrad drove to the basket unsucci:ssfull y The rebound was batted out to th e side ne 11here UD s Ed Young controlled it. He im' ed1atel, called time out with one second remaining. /hen action resumed, Flyer Larry Schellenberg's inbound pass found Conrad deep in the corner. Con:;id ook he shot, but 11 was deflected as time ran out. 'Vie 11anted Larry to get the ball to. (Roosevelt) Chapman inside," UD coach Don Donaher said. " I thought Chap could ve done it. I thought he could've taken the lob and scored. Maybe I didn' t emphasize enough to Larry to get the ball to Chapman (though Ch pman was covered).' It 11:1s tough right at the end," sophomore guard Ted Hams said . "I t' s tough to do anything with one cond left You hate to see it end that way." Hams saw action In the game in relie f of Conrad at er an elbow by UC's Dwight Jones sent Conrad to th floor at 6.42 of the first half. The UD point guard took veral minutes to get up off the court, and did not r turn to the game until almost a minute into the ccond half Th F'lycrs led through all but four minutes of the rn . After taking the opening tap, UC quickly mounted a 4,2 lead. This was the only Bearcat advant, of the first half. UD pull d ahead by six, its largest margin of the m , on two occasions, but allowed UC to close to w1tt11n thr e, 25-22, at halftime. • • • The second half saw the two teams trade baskets, as UD's lead bounced between two and four points much o f th e way. Chapman and Mike Reichert combined for 15 of the Flyers ' 17 points before UC tied th e game at 42 wi th 10:53 to play. The two teams scored only four baskets over the next five and a half minutes. With 5:20 showing on the clock, UC tied th e Flyers once more, at 46. The Bearcat s went on to take th e lead, 48-47 , with 1:05 to go. Jeff Zern hit two free throws for UD before Gaffney canned hi s single bucket of the night to set the final score. Chapman led UD scorers with 13. Conrad added 12 and Reiche rt 10. UC Coach Ed Badger succeeded in the first half with hi s game plan , shared by al l UD opponents, to " keep Chapman ou t of the game. " Chapman had only two point s be fore intermission. Chapman came back in the second half with 11 points. "In th e first half, we were trying to play Chapman outside some, and get Re ichert ins ide," Donaher said. "Finally (in the second half) we got him (Chapman) free inside, and Re ichert was hitt ing from t he outside." Reichert has hit double figures in scoring for UD in its last th re e games. Most of those points are coming from the perimeter, help ing to compensate for UD's weaken ed inside game. " I feel more confi dent abou t my shooting, " Reichert said. "If th ere is an opportunity to shoot outside, I'll take it. I'm not goi ng to pass it up. "Our offense still has a litt le way to go. We still have to learn how to play more offense when teams shut down Chapman." As for the slim los s to UC, Reichert said, " It was just two teams that went at it tonigh t, an d we came up short one." That one point ke pt UC hovering just above .500 with an 8-6 record .
