Lawrence dean of the faculty
and professor of history Richard A.
Harrison died unexpectedly of a
massive heart attack on Dec. 26,
1997. He is survived by his wife,
Jane Serumgard Harrison, and
his son, Laurence.
His family, friends, and col­
leagues remembered him at a
memorial service in the Memorial
Chapel on Jan. 8. During the ser­
vice, a few friends of Harrison
spoke of him as a man who chal­
lenged and nurtured students.
Many also noted his scholarly
devotion to 20th century American
ideals and figures.
In particular, Harrison pur­
sued the historical study of
America during the 1930s and the
1960s.
He commenced his formal
training in history at George
Washington University where he
received a bachelor of arts degree.
He received his Ph.D. from
Princeton University.
Harrison spent a large portion
of his academic life at Pomona
College in Claremont, Calif. He
began his career there during the
fall of 1977.
At Pomona, Harrison taught
Naming controversy ends
with the Diversity Center

Fa r n a m
The 1997-98 school year may
be hailed by future Lawrentians
as the year both the Minority
Faculty and Staff Council (MFSC)
and the Diversity Center were for­
mally established. However, these
achievements have already been
soured by false hopes and issues of
control.
The naming of the “blue
house,” recently set up to accom­
modate student organizations and
the
Multicultural
Affairs
Committee, pitted the new occu­
pants against the LU administra­
tion last term. Student groups
came to a consensus that the
house should be named after
Audre Lorde, a black lesbian
writer and intellectual from a
working class background, who
died of breast cancer in 1993.
Their choice was supported by the
MFSC.
Plans for the formal dedication
of the house, set for a date in
November, were interrupted when
Nancy Truesdell, Dean of
Students, informed key members
of the Multicultural Affairs
Committee that the students were
not able to name the house inde­
pendently.
The administration has no
standard policy for the naming of
buildings. In this case, the “presi­
dent’s staff’ was given the final
say.
Lena Sawyer, a pre-doctoral
fellow at Lawrence, was scheduled
to give a presentation about Audre
Lorde to the Multicultural Affairs
Committee, but the talk was
hastily called off, she said.
Truesdell advised student groups
to suggest names to her, but most
students, faculty, and staff
involved say the gesture was
insufficient.
“Ultimately, we were taken out
of the process,” Andrew Emley, co­
chair of the Multicultural Affairs
Committee, said. “The adminis­
tration never said, ‘you can’t make
suggestions,’ but our role was a
small one and they Imadel the
decision, despite our wishes.”
Truesdell suggested that the
dedication of the house be post­
poned, Emley says. The dedication
was delayed until Jan. 11, known
as Unity Sunday.

many courses on American history
ranging from a survey class to
seminars on the 1930s and the
1960s. Harrison’s colleague at
Pomona and current president of
Reed College, Steven Koblik, said
that Harrison was “an activist on
the faculty.”
At Pomona, Harrison became
involved in administrative duties
as well as teaching his courses.
Koblik called this progression a
natural one, . given Harrison’s
active involvement in the universi­
ty. Before Harrison left for
Lawrence, he had chaired the
Pomona program on international
relations as well as the history
department. In addition, Koblik
said, Harrison sat on virtually all
the university committees.
His dedication to education
will remain a legacy for Harrison
at Pomona. This legacy is symbol­
ized by the three teaching awards
he received.
“He had an extraordinary ded­
ication to student learning. He
believed students could accom­
plish more than most students
thought they could accomplish,”
said Koblik.
Harrison’s involvement in
administration at Pomona led him
to Lawrence in 1992. According to
Koblik, Harrison both respected
Lawrence as an academic institu­
tion and believed he could aid the
college as an administrator.
In an interview, President
Warch spoke of Harrison’s arrival
at Lawrence. Prior to Harrison,
several deans of the faculty had
been hired from within the com­
munity. Lawrence professors
Michael Hittle and Leonard
Thompson both held the position
before Professor James Dana
spent a brief period as acting dean.

ie m e r
Beginning Jan. 26, students
will vote on revisions to the cur­
rent honor code. Faculty will vote
on the same revisions this Friday,
at the faculty meeting. Last
spring, the faculty passed a resolu­
tion establishing a special quorum
for this vote. One-third of the stu­
dent body in residence must vote
on the resolution in order to make
the vote valid.
The honor code requires a twothirds majority to vote in favor of a
resolution before the resolution
can pass, but it has always been
ambiguous as to whether this
means two-thirds of the total stu­
dent body or two-thirds of the vot­
ing student body. It has been diffi­
cult to get students to vote at all
lately, so the honor council was
worried that a two-thirds student
body requirement would prove
impossible, and two-thirds of the
voting population might not be sig­
nificant enough to truly represent
student opinion.
In discussions with the faculty,
the faculty decided that one-third
of the student body must vote in
order for the vote to be valid, and
that each resolution must get a
two-thirds majority vote in order
for the resolution to pass. The quo­
rum should make it easier for stu­
dents to make changes in the
honor code. One of the issues on
the ballot will be whether or not to
make the special quorum perma­
nent for all honor code votes.
In the past, the honor council
has tried and failed to change the
honor code, in part because of diffi­
culties raising the requisite num­
ber of student votes.
Two representatives from the
honor council came before the gen­
eral council of LUCC at the latest
meeting in order to obtain LUCC
help in educating the student body
about the vote and the proposed
revisions to the honor code.
Major changes in the honor
code include a new mediation
option for first-time offenders of
the honor code, more integrated
selection of honor council represen­
tatives, and automatic assignment
of a procedural advisor to those
appearing before the honor coun­
cil.
The central issue is the media­
tion option. If the option passes,
first-time violators of the honor
code may, if both parties agree,
choose mediation instead of an
appearance in front of the honor
council. This involves a trained
mediator, two members of the
honor council, and the honor coun­
cil advisor, as well as both parties
to the violation.
Penalties must be agreed upon
by all involved, and will be consis­
tent with those meted out by the
full honor council. If no agreement
can be made, the full honor council
will hear the case as usual.
Changes in the selection
process of the honor council
involve establishment of a selec­
tion board, composed of two honor
council members, two faculty
members, and two members of the
LUCC Committee on Committees.
The new process better reflects the
honor council’s status as created
by faculty legislation, but responsi­
ble to students and faculty.
Another proposed change in
the honor code is the automatic
assignment of a procedural advisor
to those appearing before the
honor council. The student is
allowed to select his own advisor,

When the festivities begin at 6
p.m. this Saturday, the audience
that paid $25 per ticket will be pre­
sented with an experience that
combines music, stage play, and
banquet feast. The annual
Madrigal Dinner will be held on
Jan. 17 in Colman Hall.
The Madrigal Dinner has been
produced over the last four years
by Sigma Alpha Iota, the profes­
sional music sorority. This year
Kristin Bischoff of SAI headed the
ten-person committee in charge of
producing the event. Over 40 peo­
ple were involved in the planning
and preparation of this year’s
Madrigal Dinner.
Bischoff noted that the
Madrigal Singers play an impor­
tant role in the Madrigal Dinner.
The Madrigal Singers, also known
scholastically as the Chamber
Singers, are led by student direc­
tor Ingrid Haugen. Haugen said
that one challenge which the
Chamber Singers had to face this
year is that a large proportion of
its members are freshman stu­
dents. The difficulty of the music
has proven challenging to the new
students.
“However, this year we have
very strong peer leaders,” contin­
ued Haugen. She affirmed that the
strong showing by peer leaders has
balanced the apparent lack of
experience.
A cast of actors will also be
involved in the Madrigal Dinner.
At 6 p.m. the cast will introduce
itself to the audience and engage
in social activities. According to
Bischoff, the acting involved in the
Madrigal Dinner is mainly impro­
visatory, encouraging participation
by the audience and dinner guests.
“The actors will talk to the
guests,” Bischoff said. Many of the
same characters from prior
Madrigal Dinner performances
will reappear this year.
The continuing storyline will
be familiar to those who attended
last year’s Madrigal Dinner.
Bischoff stated, however, that com­
prehension and enjoyment is “cer­
tainly not dependent on whether
[the audience members I attended
[the Madrigal Dinner] last year.”
Bischoff said that the universal
“love triangle” theme would be rec­
ognizable to almost any audience
member.
The original date for the
Madrigal Dinner was Nov. 23, but
due to conflicts with conservatory
events the production was pushed
back to Jan. 17. The change in
time has caused mixed feelings
within the Madrigal Dinner
ensemble. Bischoff felt the delay
caused difficulty because many of
those involved misjudged the
amount of extra time they had to
polish the production. Also,
because of Winter Break, much of
what Bischoff and her colleagues
worked to accomplish, she felt, had
taken backward steps.
Haugen, on the other hand,
seemed gracious for the delay. “It
made rehearsals more relaxed and
it provided us with a better oppor­
tunity to be prepared,” remarked
Haugen. Also, Haugen noted that
the Chamber Singers made noticec o n tin u ed D I N N E R page 2

Lawrence was current president
Richard Warch, who came here
from Yale to hold the dean’s post
for two years beginning in 1977.
During his tenure
at
I^wrence, Harrison was commit­
ted to the discussion of numerous
topics.
His assistant dean, Margaret
Madden, said that he wanted the
faculty to reevaluate the curricu­
lum and to consider new ways of
teaching material. Harrison, she
said, was involved in spurring reg­
ular and serious departmental
review.
He viewed course evaluations
as highly important, and encour­
aged faculty to get their students
to think of the evaluations as valu­
able and to use them. He believed
these were an essential means of
evaluating the curriculum.
Harrison believed in the
importance of interdisciplinary
work. He encouraged team teach­
ing, and would have taught a
course in conjunction with profes­
sors from the chemistry depart­
ment this spring on the history of

For those who are unfamiliar
with the meaning of the word
“madrigal,” the definition will not
be made absolutely clear at the
Madrigal Dinner. According to
Bischoff, the dinner is “set in a
Medieval/Renaissance setting. ...
It is sort of a conglomeration of
things historical that people might
think of from that period.” She
pointed out that not every aspect
of the production may be histori­
cally accurate but she feels that
the Madrigal Dinner retains much
of the flavor of these periods and
combines the elements of music,

In his time at Lawrence,
Harrison hired “a great many
exciting, energetic faculty mem­
bers,” said Madden. He oversaw a
shift in the faculty that will pre­
pare the faculty for the next cen­
tury, she said, emphasizing again
his commitment to course evalua­
tions and interdisciplinary teach­
ing.
In addition to his efforts with
the faculty, Warch spoke of
Harrison’s commitment to student
research and scholarship through
initiatives such as the springtime
social science/humanities presen­
tations. Madden also spoke of
Harrison’s willingness to fight for
money to fund student research.
Harrison never stopped his
analysis of the basic ways the uni­
versity conducted business. “He
wanted us to at least examine our
assumptions in the way we do
business, whether it was the cal­
endar or Freshman Studies,” said
Warch.
The current term system and
tenure policy review were some of

Warch.
His dialogues sometimes led to
confrontation. “He wasn’t afraid to
speak his mind and therefore ruf­
fled feathers sometimes,” Madden
said.
“Not everyone agreed with his
initiatives, but I think he was
broadly respected for the ways in
which he invited others’considera­
tions of issues, even if they may
not have agreed with, for example,
the term versus semester system,”
said Warch.
Though he spent the majority
of his time fulfilling his duties as
an administrator, he continued to
teach and was a tenured member
of the history department.
“He was extraordinarily effi­
cient and hardworking. I would

good person to bounce ideas and
someone who certainly challenged

His hard work and efficiency
manifested themselves in the
operation of the dean’s office. The
office became much more orga­
nized, said Madden, who will
assume his responsibilities as act­
ing dean. For a lot of people, this
organization meant filling out

cient made it much easier for her
to step in.

Most students were still
unaware of the final decision by
the time that date arrived. “There
was no two way communication,”
Sawyer said. “Students could
make requests and an unknown
committee would make the final
decision.”
As Term I drew to a close and
there was still no name, members
of the MFSC became increasingly
concerned that a “generic” title
would be chosen.
The council wrote a memoran­
dum to Truesdell and President
Richard Warch asserting, as
Professor of French Lifongo
Vetinde put it, “that the name
should reflect the mission of the
house or represent a minority per­
son. We were worried they might
just follow the normal trend of
naming houses after someone who
has given a lot of money.”
The letter also suggested a
more open dialogue with student
groups. Warch said the bottom

it is also a concession on the part
of the administration.”
However, the students, faculty,
and staff still appear to over­
whelmingly support the Audre
Lorde name. “All the groups can
relate to her in one way or anoth­
er,” Emley explained. “She sym­
bolizes what the house is really
about. The most important thing
about the house is its unifying
aspect. In one person, just as in
one house, she takes on a lot of the
dimensions of these groups. It was
a very appropriate title.”
A few students actually pre­
ferred a more general name, say­
ing that the more generic the
name, the longer it would survive
changes in political winds.
Others
contended
that
“Diversity Center” was inaccu­
rate, because the house did not
include Asia-A, Viva or ADAPT,
organizations with similar goals.
The name Audre Lorde came
under attack from several direc­
tions. All other buildings on cam-
change.”
Nonetheless, the MFSC is
counting this one as a victory.
“The name Diversity Center is
consistent with the university’s
commitment to promoting cultur­
al diversity,” Vetinde says, “but, if
Ithe MFSC | had not written the
letter, I’m not sure how things
would have gone.”
Representatives
from
Lawrence’s multicultural circles
say they are turning their atten­
tion to making the most out of the
Diversity Center. The resource
room is being made more efficient.
Office space, classrooms, and con­
ference rooms can be reserved at
the center by anyone on campus.
“The goal is that Ithe Diversity
Center] will foster more coopera­
tion between groups,” Emley said.
“Hopefully it will increase mem­
bership in all groups. BOS, DFC
and BGLASS are a tremendous
resource to the campus and the
administration.”
Vetinde says the house pro-

line is that “students don’t name
spaces that are permanent.” After
the holiday break, students and
faculty returned to find posted in
front of the house a sign reading
“Diversity Center.”
Reactions were mixed. The
first response was a vast sense of
relief that the name was not
generic. “They could have named
it the Blue House. That would
have been worse,” Sawyer admit­
ted with a wry laugh. “It was the
naming process that was the most
disappointing to the students. The
administration made the right
decision in choosing a name that
hinted at some of the stakes of the
organizations. The Diversity
Center is a more hollow name, but
pus named after people commem­
orate associates of the college. “We
could not come up with an associ­
ate of the college to name the
house after, and we weren’t going
to name it after someone outside
the college, no matter how merito­
rious the person,” Warch stated.
Sawyer called not naming the
house after Audre Lorde a “missed
opportunity” to educate the com­
munity about her work and make
a powerful statement about
Lawrence’s commitment to diver­
sity. “Most people do not know
who she was and that is sad,”
Sawyer said. “I also think that
Audre Lorde might have been too
radical. She was a lesbian and a
communist. She was a black
woman working toward social
vides “global education” and
Sawyer says it will “move
Lawrence into the twenty-first
century.”
“[The Diversity Center] is
going to help bring students of
many different backgrounds to
Lawrence,” she said. “That’s why I
think it is so important that the
name reflects the commitments
and passions of the people and

organizations working there.
People visiting the campus will
walk by and see that there is a
commitment to multiculturalism
and diversity on this campus.”
The
members
of the
Multicultural Affairs Committee
and the MFSC agree that
Lawrence has not yet become a
fully “diverse” community.
Enrollment of minority stu­
dents is not high by national stan­
dards and there is still underrep­
resentation of minorities among
the faculty and staff. Faculty and
students alike say that more
courses dealing with sexual and
class differences are needed.
The student groups at the
Diversity Center previously
lacked a stable and united space.
Lisa White, the coordinator of
College Place, said the founding of
the Diversity Center and the
MFSC don’t yet represent “an
increase in awareness, but more
like a reflection of an effort to pro­
mote awareness.”
At the open house on Unity
Sunday, people of just about every
kind and color packed the rooms.
As Sawyer said, “There are official
names and there are unofficial
names. For many people it will
always be the Audre Lorde
House.”
Louisa Assibi surveyed the
lively room and said, “I’m just glad
we finally have this place. As long
as people know that it is here,
what goes on in the house is more
important than the name.”

Videotape.” The second has
many memorable anecdotes to
recommend it: director Steven
Soderbergh wrote the script in
eight days, he filmed it on a
nearly nonexistent budget, and
it won the Golden Palm at the
Cannes Film Festival. It’s a
movie about some intersecting
love triangles and a guy whose
secret passion is watching his
own recordings of other people’s
encounters. “Sex, Lies, and
Videotape” is the most intellec­
tual choice this term. “Dr.
Strangelove.” See it! Director
Stanley Kubrick (“2001: A Space
Odyssey” and “A Clockwork
Orange”) only makes master­
pieces. This film is on my topten-movies-of-all-time list. This
is a comedy about nuclear anni­
hilation; but trust me—it’s
funny. Peter Sellers (of “Pink
Panther” fame) plays most of the
parts, and the world blows up at
the end. ‘Nuff said!

Start out with a Super Bowl

directed by Martin Scorcese and

Scorcese has made fine films—
the first a classic killer-releasedfrom-jail thriller, the other per­
haps the best gangster movie

“The Godfather”). Scorcese does­
n’t do Hollywood stories, though.
So if you want a happy ending,
watch “The Lion King.”
In February, lighten the

madcap farce based on the
French “La Cage aux Folles,”

“ Sculpture” som ething to think about
by

T
il g h m a n
If you haven’t yet been to the
current exhibition in the Wriston
Art Center, “Kate Hunt:
Sculpture,” be prepared for
something you might not expect.
The work in the show does not
follow traditional ideas of sculp­
ture. Instead of floor-based items
formed by the artist’s hand, the
show is composed of wall-mount­
ed, highly pictorial pieces which
make use of many everyday
items. In my conversations with
the artist, it quickly became
apparent that the work is also
strikingly conceptual, dealing
with distinctions and relations of
race,
class,
and gender.
Approached generally, Hunt’s
work attempts to analyze the
separations which characterize
these issues and challenge them
head-on by denying their validi­
tyThe unusual aesthetic of the
sculpture arises from the highly
conceptual way in which Hunt
approached the artwork. She
points out that even though pre­
fabricated objects play an impor­
tant role in the sculptures, none
of it is found-object work.
Instead, the objects were sought
out to fill important theoretical
roles. In addition, the pictorial
qualities of the sculptures arise
from the wallpaper found in
many of the pieces. This imagery
has the most influence in
“Pulse.” This work consists in observes that “nature” is only an
part of a heavily worn carpet intellectual construct and that

Harrison will be missed
The death of Richard
Harrison on Dec. 26, 1997 was a
shock to all and a great loss for
the Lawrence community. His
brilliance, integrity, and passion
for his work will be impossible to
replace.
As dean of the faculty,
Harrison proved over and over
not only that he was an excellent
administrator, but that he gen­
uinely cared for Lawrence and
Lawrentians. Most students
never had the opportunity to
meet or speak to Dean Harrison,
but those who did remember him
as a kind and eminently helpful
man.
We students know Dean
Harrison as an intelligent and
witty speaker from his welcomes
to the freshman class, his intro­
ductions of convocation speakers,
and elsewhere. We know him as
a perennial member of scholar­
ship interview boards, and recall
his direct, take-no-prisoners
questioning, which more than
one of us blame for our failure to
secure aforesaid scholarships.
We have served on committees
with him, we have written course
evaluations for him, and we have
considered him a permanent fix­
ture at Lawrence University.
Harrison was a strong propo­
nent of many changes for
Lawrence. Though most of us
will not miss his tireless advoca­
tion of the semester system, for
example, we will miss his strong
opinions, which he was never
afraid
to express.

Harrison’s advocation was large­

for opinion and debate.
It is probably true that very
few students and faculty at
Lawrence could speak at length
on the history of the Lawrentian.
Nor should they be able to. Part
of the responsibility of a good
newspaper is to be as transparent
as possible. The news and opin­
ions contained in these pages are
the important things, not the
institution of the paper itself. But
as we effect a major change in the
operation of the Lawrentian this
term, here are a few interesting
tidbits about our history.
Although the Lawrentian
published first in 1884 (as we
repeatedly proclaim at the top of
every issue), the earliest copy in
the public stacks at the Seeley G.
Mudd is Vol. X, No. 1, from May
1893. At that point, the
Lawrentian was published
monthly on glossy pages in a sort
of literary magazine format,
although the content was news­
paper-like. It was sold for 15<z per
Frat quad under fire
The fraternity quad is a place
on campus I have rarely visited. I
suppose that may make me igno­
rant of some of their positive
aspects, but even so, I would like
to present my viewpoint on what
the existence of fraternities on
campus means to me and how I
think it creates inequalities
between men and women at
Lawrence.
Bluntly put, I feel that the fra­
ternity quad is a miniature “man’s
world,” where men are allowed, in
many ways, to control their own
domain. While women are not
shut out of the fraternity quad,
there is a certain aura about it
that keeps people like me away
because I tend to feel that I “just
don’t belong” there. Of course,
while there are many places I
don’t feel welcome, not all of these
places make me feel unwelcome
simply because I am a woman.
Furthermore, even if women are
kept away from many places; this

does not necessarily make it right
for a liberal arts college, especially
one of the first that was founded
coeducational, to preserve such a
place. Perhaps this issue would be
solved if there were to be a sorori­
ty quad too, but this is not what I
am getting at.
It is also irritating that men on
our campus have the opportunity
to possess more comforts than
most women at Lawrence can. I
am aware that fraternity mem­
bers must pay dues to get most of
these comforts, but women don’t
even have the opportunity to pay
dues that afford them the same
comforts. There is no place on
campus for women where they
may live together in a house that
provides them a cook (in other
words, men have more meal
options) and their own common
areas. However nice Draheim may
be, it is not an equal comparison;
in fact, any suggestion that
Draheim “should be enough” is
issue, or $1.00 per year (nine
months). Advertising rates were
$2.50 per column inch per year,
again for nine months.
By comparison, this year’s
version (Vol. CXV) is a 17”
tabloid, printed on standard
newsprint. Newspapers are dis­
tributed free on campus and in
downtown Appleton,
while
mailed subscriptions are $20 per
year. Ad rates are anywhere from
$2.50-$7 per column inch per
issue.
Many faculty, if not students,
will recall that for most of its his­
tory, the Lawrentian has been a
weekly newspaper. In January
1992, it switched to a biweekly
schedule due to “lack of interest
in the newspaper.”
In the Jan. 28 issue of that
year, the executive editor lament­
ed, “The Lawrentian staff is a
small collection of individuals
who voice, whether you realize
this or not, their opinions to a
large number of subscribers,
including not only students, fac­
ulty, and staff, but alumni,
prospective students and trustees
as well. In order for the paper to
improve and develop respect,
more voices have to be heard.”
The newspaper is growing.
More voices are being heard. And
I hope that the Lawrentian is
beginning to earn some degree of
respect from its readership. It is
heartening to me that we can
make this important change and
I hope that we all continue to
make our voices heard here and
elsewhere.
TO THE EDITOR:
insulting because it is only one
compared to the many fraternity
houses and living there does not
get women off the meal plan. Also,
Draheim simply does not have the
presence that the fraternity quad
has.
I do not see the need for there
to be separate privileges for
women from those of men, but I do
not want men on our campus to
have separate privileges from
women! Sharing the same privi­
leges seems to be the logical solu­
tion, so therefore, I do not see the
point in Lawrence University hav­
ing a separate area cut out for
men to live in. While I can not
offer a perfect solution to this
problem, more living areas that
integrate both genders would
result in the establishment of a
better understanding between
men and women and help our
campus move away from the out­
dated notion of separating gender.

The Actors Cooperative takes root
by
Suzanne M
urphy
Among the assortment of
signs and fliers posted around
campus this term, you may
have been particularly drawn to
the striking image and red
background of the Actors
Cooperative poster. For such an
interesting poster, there is an
equally interesting group form­
ing.
The Actors Cooperative, a
term-long project, was the idea
of theater professor Fred
Gaines, and already has nearly
a dozen members. Despite the
title of the group, it is not com­
posed solely of actors. Anyone is
welcome to join and bring their
ideas and skills, although writ­
ers and actors can prove espe­
cially useful.
You may be wondering what

sort of things go on in an actors’
cooperative, or what it is for.
The purpose of the cooperative
is not simply to stage a produc­
tion; it is an opportunity for
people to pool their ideas and
examine a subject or idea in
depth. Eventually, the group
will use theater as a medium to
put their ideas to work. They
will write their own script,
stage the play, and create a set
and costumes. What is different
about a cooperative production
is that it scraps the usual hier­
archy of production. Everyone

the
Actors
Cooperative will share the
responsibility, rather than hav­
ing one specific person in
charge.
During their first meeting,
the group agreed upon the fairy
tale as the form to focus on. To
begin the process, Gaines
brought in three different ver­
sions of “Rapunzel:” one early
Greek version, a German ver­
sion, and a modern retelling by
Anne Sexton. The group read all
three and compared them, find­
ing that each version was quite
different from the others.
Members of the group will be
bringing in fairy tales that they
come across, including different
forms of fairy tales.
Gaines explained that fairy
tales are an interesting topic to
look into “as a kind of text of our
own psyches.” Even though we
may sublimate and repress the
stuff of fairy tales, to a certain
degree it is still accurate and
true in our own lives. Much of
the discussion in the coopera­
tive will seek to draw parallels
between the world of fairy tales
and every day life.
In the past, there have been
other actors’ cooperatives at
Lawrence, each focusing on a
different idea. One took a look
at a more mundane topic—life
in the dorm. Another examined
fashion and how it manifests
itself in society. Jack Henry
Abbott, a habitual criminal, was
the subject of one cooperative
which performed versions of “In
the Belly of the Beast.”
The current actors’ coopera­
tive is intending to start out
slowly and gather momentum
as the term goes on, although
they are not on a definite sched­
ule.
I f you are interested in jo in ­
ing or finding out more inform a­
tion, either call Fred Gaines or
attend a meeting at 7 p.m. on
Tuesdays in Cloak Theater.

Forest.
Freshman Quinn Bohman led
Lawrence with 16 points, shoot­
ing 60 percent from the field and
hitting all of her free-throws.
Bohman also had five rebounds
and a block.
Bohman was matched by
Grubbs of Lake Forest who
scored 16 points with three
rebounds and two steals.
Lawrence outrebounded the
Foresters 38-36, but Lake Forest
had a decided advantage at the
free-throw line, hitting 31 of 41
free throws, to Lawrence’s 14 of

BY T .J . O W
On Dec. 29 and 30, the
Lawrence
U niversity
w restling team traveled to the
state of Florida. This was no
vacation, for the w restlers
competed in the 5th annual
Florida College Duals, held at
Dr. Phillips High School in
Orlando, Florida.
16 team s from nine differ­
ent states attended the to u r­
nam ent. Six of these team s
were ranked in the top 25 of
the Division III polls, and 24
individuals competing in the
duals were ranked nationally.
Each team wrestled six other
team s during the two days of
competition.
The Vikings finished 14th
out of the 16 team s attending
the com petition. Lawrence
dualed W artburg (#3 in the
nation),
Oswego,
and
H eidelberg during the first
day of competition, losing to
W artburg 42-3, Oswego 24-21,
and finally to Heidelberg 37-7.
The Vikings did not fare much
better on the second day of the
tournam ent, as they lost to
Cortland (#13) by a score of
44-4, and Elizabethtown (#22)
by a score of 33-12. Lawrence
ended the evening by losing a
close dual to Montclair, 26-24.
Two key injuries seriously
hindered
the
Vikings.
Freshm an Ross Mueller has
been out most of the season
with a knee injury, and senior
team captain, Kevin Dutton,
was injured on the first day of
competition. D utton’s injury
kept him from wrestling for
the rem ainder of the competi­
tion.
Because of these two
in ju ries, the Vikings were
forced to forfeit the 150 lbs.
and 177 lbs. weight classes.
With another hole a t 190 lbs.,
the Vikings w ent into each
dual with an 18-point deficit.
Three individuals wrestled
particularly well in Florida:
senior
M ichael
H oskins
(three-tim e national qualifier,
and team captain), ju n io r
Michael Damrow, and sopho­
more Ross Hubbard.
Hoskins (167 lbs.\177 lbs.)
displayed why he is a th re e ­
time national qualifier, going
6-0 over the two days of the
competition.
Mike Damrow (126 lbs.)
improved on his winning sea­
son as he finished the Florida
tournam ent with a 4-2 record.
Damrow won two close m atch­
es, but he also won a major
decision against Oswego (124) and pinned his opponent
from Montclair.
At 158 lbs., Ross Hubbard
wrestled tough, breaking even
over the two days w ith a
record of 3-3.
Senior Andy Schw eitzer
also wrestled well, but at the
close of the tournam ent he
had only a 2-4 record and one
pin to show for it. Schweitzer
a lte rn a ted between the 190
and heavyw eight brackets,
and all of his losses were
decided by only a few points.
F reshm an
Jerem y
Schlosser (134 lbs.) came to
Florida after injuries plagued
the first half of his season.
Jerem y wrestled well, winning
two out of his five matches.
Despite a losing record in
the Sunshine S tate over win­
te r break, th e Lawrence
w restlers are looking forward
to finishing the rest of the sea­
son successfully.

The new year is upon us,
and I would personally like to
welcome all to the new and
rapidly improving Lawrentian
sports page. OK, so I haven’t
provided the most fascinating
sports in the past couple of
issues, but my New Year’s reso­
lution for the paper was to get
my act in gear and build a
bridge to the 21st century, or at
least walk the bridge over to
Alexander.
Hopefully, with the help of
my w riters and the athletic
departm ent, this section will
flourish with improved articles,
timely statistics, crisp photos,
updated
schedules,
and
improved communication with
all parties.
Feel free to write to the
Lawrentian sports page, or the
paper in general. I can only
have so many ideas, and am
always looking for writers, so
drop us a line.
1997 was truly a rem ark­
able year in sports—and I know
they say this every year. Maybe
it wasn’t as remarkable as we
make it out to be, but there
were
truly
memorable
moments:
The Florida Marlins won the
W orld‘ Series in seven wild
games.
Mike Tyson took a bite of
Evander Holyfield’s ear.
Steve Tasker was ejected in
his final game as a Buffalo Bill
(not the hugest story, but inter­
esting, no?).
The San Fransisco Giants
took the West on the shoulders
of unsung newcomer Shawn
Estes.
Arizona, led by (then) fresh­
man Mike Bibby and the nearly
academically ineligible Miles
Simon win the NCAA basket­
ball tournam ent, defeating all
number one seeds in their way.
Lawrence softball and men’s
basketball team s take their
respective conference champi­
onships.
The unranked University of
Hawaii basketball team defeat­
ed Indiana, Santa Clara,
Nebraska, and Kansas to gain
its first ranking since 1974.
