Changing tides in admissions
Applications are up and the admissions office
is focusing more on impressing appiicants.
Jonathan C. Poet
ED-OP EDITOR
The light at the end o f the
declining enrollm ent tunnel is
getting closer. Drexel’s applica
tion rate is up about 67 percent
over the same number last year
— and the quality of the accept
ed students isn’t declining. The
average SAT scores are about
1100 and the high school GPA
averages at about 3.3.
“We set a goal of enrolling
1,091 freshmen and 300 transfer
students [next fall.] We are cau
tiously optimistic we will exceed
that goal,” said Gary Hamme,
dean of enrollment and career
management. “Potentially, there
are 500 more applications out
there, which would give us about
a 29 percent increase,” he added.
Drexel’s acceptance rate has
remained unchanged from the
past few years — at about 80 per
cent. Of those accepted, typically
about 36 percent pay a deposit
and enroll.
Typically, 93 percent of those
who enroll actually end up
attending Drexel. The seven per
cent who d o n ’t atten d are
referred to as “summer melt.”
“Recently, we’ve had a
decrease in our confirm ation
rate, from about 38 to 36 p er
cent. So, we’re trying to turn that
around. Our ‘summer melt’ is
pretty good,” said Hamme.
What does it mean?
Drexel is a very tuition-depen
dent school — so much so that
recent slides in freshman enroll
ment have pushed the budget to
the limit. In 1994, about 70 per
cent of the U n iversity ’s total
income was generated by tuition
dollars.
“The U niversity bu d get is
approved in May,” said Hamme,
“so we are going to ride this
[increase] as long as we can.”
However, even if the Univer
Shopsopen for business
sity enrolls its goal of 1,391 new
students, there will be 150 fewer
tuition payers in the 1996-97 aca
demic year. The smaller classes
attracted in the past few years
continue to hurt the University’s
financial situation.
“It’s not just who we get in the
front door,” said Hamme, “it’s
who we keep. The President and
the administration have to fix the
[attrition rate].” Hamme added,
“This [p o ten tial increase in
enrollment] is just a stabilizer.
That’s the reality check.”

Neil Postm an, author of 20
books on media, technology, and
ed u catio n , will discuss “The
Multiple Problems with Multiple
Media” on Wednesday, February
21 at 7 p.m . in the M andell
Theater.
Postman chairs the D epart
ment of Communication Arts at
New York University.
The event, which is open to
the Drexel University communi
ty, is co -sp o n so red by the
College of Arts and Sciences and
the University Honors Program.
' Postman‘’s ipost recent book,)
The End of Education, discusses
our culture’s overemphasis on
methods and technology in edu
cation.
In a recent Online Forum, a
live internet program sponsored
by O n lin e NewsHour (http://
www .pbs.org/newshour/hom e
.html). Postman said that while
“there are many positive aspects
of new and emerging technolo
gies ... I have concentrated my
attention on the possible nega
tive consequences, m ostly
because everyone else seems to
speak about the advantages tech
nology will bring.
“For example, telephones in
automobiles seem to me a very
bad idea. So does spending a lot
of hours ‘communicating’ on the
internet when one could use that
time reading C ervantes’ Don
Quixote”
Dr. Ernest A. Hakanen, direc
tor of communication programs
in the Department of Humanities
and Communications at Drexel
and the person who coordinated
Postnrian’s visit, says Postman “is
the preeminent thinker on tech
nology and education. His ideas
are broad, interdisciplinary and
controversial.”

Marriott Food Service is just
getting started at Drexel. While
few changes have met the stu
dents of Drexel, many are being
planned for the future.
Marriott began its contract as
D rexel’s food service on
September 22,1996.
Director of Operations for the
Student Union, Michael Faherty,
said of the three companies that
sub m itted bids (M arriott,
Aramark and Wood), Marriott
“exhibite^J the best potential for
the growing food components on
cam pus ... [and] meeting the
needs of students on a long-term
basis.”
Faherty said that other loca
tions around campus for food
service are being explored. Joe
Ganci, food service director, said
th at M arrio tt has assum ed
responsibility for running the
Espresso Stop located in Creese,
which closed down right before
w inter break. Ganci said the
Espresso Stop is due to reopen
on M arch 4. Details of the
specifics of its operation are still
being decided.
Ganci said that frequently,
when a food service program at a
university is o u tsou rced, the
companies come to the Univer
sity and “throw money on the
table” without conducting any
type of evaluation. He explained
that often this money is wasted
because there is no specified
plan.
Marriott is currently conduct
ing the Customer Driven Process
(CDP).

been run on 80 campuses. “[It

Gore helps celebrate ENIACs 50th
The Vice President came to Penn to mark the
anniversary of modern computing. A few
students protested the new telecom bill.
He used the event to criticize
Republican cuts on government
research, noting that a federal

ENIAC, the Internet and other
technological milestones.
“I strongly disagree with the
current leadership o f the U.S.
Congress” that voted to cut gov
ernm ent research by one-third
by the year 2002, Gore said.
"What are the breakthroughs
o f tomorrow? We don’t know.
But the scientists will produce
them if we provide the spark,”
Gore said. And borrowing a lyric

M ainichi new spaper said was
found inside the bus near the dri
ver’s seat.
In addition to the bus, which
had 19 people aboard, a car with
a single o cc u p an t was also
trapped when a huge slab of rock
sheared off a mountainside and
smashed into the tunnel.
It took four dynamite blasts
over four days to reduce the rock
to rubble that could be cleared
away. Rescue workers promised
to keep up efforts to reach the
bus and car trapped inside.
"We think that we can speed
up the pace of the operations
from now o n ,” said Yoshiaki
Abe, director of the road mainte
nance division at the Hokkaido
Development Bureau, which is
leading the rescue effort.
Rescuers had feared that pre
maturely entering the tunnel to
rem ove debris m ight trigger
another landslide.
But even with the b o u ld er
gone, officials said it could take
several days to dig out the debris
at the site outside a remote cliffside village.
The rescue has dominatedatio n al news coverage. M edia
trucks have descended on the
accident scene and on the nearby
fishing village of Furubira, home
to many of the 19 passengers on
the bus.
Early in the effort, soldiers
snaked a tiny camera through the
rubble to look at the bus, but
they have conducted no such
searches for signs of life since.
It wasn’t clear what caused the
giant rock slab to fall, but experts
said water seeping into cracks in
the mountainside, then freezing,
may have caused ^ e m to expand
over the years, eventually loosen
ing the rock.
At least one similar accident
has occurred in the remote,
mountainous area near tlu tun*

P enn S ta te to restructure ca m p u ses
The local branch campuses will offer more
programs to discourage transfers. OgontzAbington will become a four-year college.
Michael A. Giarrusso
ASSOCIATED PRESS
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. —
Penn State U niversity’s C om
m onw ealth Cam puses, which
have served prim arily as twoyear feeder schools to the main
campus for 84 years, would offer
more four-year degrees and have
m ore au to n o m y u nd er a plan
announced Wednesday.
Under the plan, 12 campuses
— Beaver, Delaware C ounty,
DuBois, Fayette, H azleton,
M cKeesport, M ont Alto, New
Kensington, Shenango, Wilkes
Barre, W orthfngton-Scranton,
York — ‘w ould becom e th6
Commonwealth College, which
w ould be ru n by a dean who
would have the authority to hire
and prom ote faculty and start
new programs.
The A b in g to n -O g o n tz and
Altoona campuses would expand
to fo u r-y ear colleges. The
Schuylkill campus would merge
into Penn State-Harrisburg and
the Allentown cam pus would
merge into Penn State-Berks.
Despite the mergers, classes
would continue to be offered at
all cam puses, said R obert
Dunham, senior vice president
and dean of the .Commonwealth
Educational System.
“Not only are there no plans
for closing any cam puses, we
expect enrollm ent growth and
program growth at every cam
pus,” Dunham said..
The plan also calls for expan
sio n at the ,Behrend College
(Penn State-Erie)..Penn StateG reat Valley would rem ain a
graduate center but it would be
under the dean of The Graduate
School on the main campus.
The plan was devised in the
fall and early winter when Penn
State President Graham Spanier
and other officials toured the
branch campuses and asked for
community input. One thing was
clear as soon as those visits
began, Dunham said.
“There’s a great deal of com
munity support for Penn State
cam puses,” he said. “In some
places in the state, we’re the only
game in town. We knew it was
going to be awfully difficult to
close a campus.”
Although the m ergers may
lead to some staff reductions, no
layoffs are planned.
“Administrative streamlining
throughout the system should
lead to cost savings,” Dunham
said. “But we expect that,any
reduction in administrative staff
would come about 'over-time.—
th ro u g h attriU on and n ot
through layoffs.”
The plan will be debated and
fine-tuned by various university
committees before being intro
duced to the Board of Trustees in
July. If approved on time, the
changes will go into effect in July.
Reorganizing the sprawling
multi-campus university was one
of the first goals announced by
Spanier when he took over in
September.
“Our overachieving goal in
developing our response has
been to look at the big picture
and to redesign Penn State in a
way that’s best for meeting the
commonwealth’s needs for high
er education and that’s also best
for the university itself,” Spanier
said.
“Among other things, we tried
to respond to the needs we per
ceive for more four-year p ro
grams at the campuses, for the
ability to respond more speedily
to conimvinity ne^ds and for
niore autonomy to campuses.”
Some of the brijnch campuses
,already offer bachelor degrees in
certain fields, but most students
. transfer after two years to anoth;er school, o ften Penn S tate’s
main campus.
Overcrow ding on the State
College cam pus has caused
housing problems this fall and
applications have continued to
rise.
Allowing more students to
obtain bachelor’s degrees at the
branch campuses may alleviate
some of this overcrowding.
Also, more students who want
to remain near home during col
lege w6uld be able to do so if
more campuses offered four-year
degrees.
“Every year, about 150 stu
dents who are eligible to transfer
to (State College) leave the Penn
State system to go to another
institution in order to stay in the
Philadelphia region,” said Karen
Wiley Sandler, campus executive
officer for Abington-Ogontz.
The most important aspect of
the plan is that it allows Penn
State ' ‘to,becom e, at the same
time,, an internationally distin
guished research university while
also rem aining responsive to
local needs around the state,”
said Frederick Gaige, campus
executive of Penn State-Berks.
Applications up Postman: Technologyoften
nearly 70 percent overemphasized in education
Applications frompage 1
As it stan d s, if Drexei can
enroll about 1,550 new students,
the income from tuition will stay
ab o u t the sam e as this year.
However, if larger freshman and
tra n sfe r s tu d e n t classes are
repeated year after year, Drexel’s
budget could look better in the
future.
How does it work?
The real sto ry b eh in d the
increase in applications is the
large change in the Admissions
staffs methodology. It has insti
tu te d a new s ta n d a rd called
prospect management.
“It’s actually pretty simple.
We’ve really tried to customize
and p erso n alize the whole
process to individual students,”
said H am m e. “ I give a lot o f
compliments to my staff. They’ve
done an o u tstan d in g jo b ,” he
added.
At the heart of prospect man
agement is the more one-on-one
attention given to prospective
students. Rather than wait three
weeks to resp o n d to specific
questions by prospective students, Hamme encourages “one
day tu r n a r o u n d ,” w hereby
potential students get their ques
tions and concerns answered
im m ediately. “ I t’s all ab o ut
responsiveness,” said Hamme.
“We are also pushing the idea
o f com ing to visit Drexei,
because we think that we have a
much better chance of getting
stu d en ts if they v isit,” said
Hamme. In an effort to attract
these prospective students to
campus, the $35 application fee
is waived if a student submits an
application directly to an admis
sions counselor.
And the application is proba
bly a lot sh o rter than a lot of
Drexei undergraduates m ight
remember — it no longer has an
essay.
“Only certain d ep artm en ts
used the essay. Why make kids
do something that, more often
than not, wasn’t even used,” said
H am m e. H ow ever, in highly
competitive programs, such as
architecture, essays were sent out
separately to further evaluate
candidates.
Changes are not only being
m ade in the adm issions area.
Financial Aid has dropped its
ro llin g su b m ission policy in
favor o f a tig h te r schedule.
Ham m e noted, “It used to be
th a t aw ards were continually
changing. To make it more fair,
we are now saying [to students],
‘get your financial aid informa
tion to us by March 1 ... [and]
we’ll give you an aw ard on
M arch 2 6 .’” H am m e ad d ed,
“Financial Aid is ready to go ...
and p u t to g eth er som e good
packages.”
In addition to need-based aid,
scholarships are also being handled differently this year.
Candidates of the merit-based
scholarships will be involved in a
Drexei Scholars Day, where
potential award winners will be
interviewed by members of the
faculty, given a tour of Phila
delp h ia and shown academ ic
presentations.
At the end of the day, a recep
tion will be held for aw^rd win
ners and their parents.
In the epd, this may only be
the b ^ i^ ^ ip g of the end. “We’re
just s o rtin g prospect manage
m e n t/! said H am m e, “W e’ve
m ade a lo t o f progress, but

com plex ideas in an easy,
delightful manner.
“He is a master storyteller who
tells a beautiful, h u m o ro u s,
exciting story of a great techno
logical land.”
At the same time, Postm an
“weaves a tale o ^ a confused
n atio n , lost in its w orship o f
technology and lacking of p u r
pose. He is a great critical
thinker. His ideas raise m ore
q u estio n s than answ ers,”
Hakanen says.
H akanen says he is sure
P ostm an’s visit “will generate
many questions, even for those
who have read his books. The
audience will leave with some
answers and new ideas. I guaran
tee, however, no one will leave
with fewer questions about tech
nology and education than they
came with.”
Postman’s lecture will be fol
lowed by a question and answer
session which is expected to be
lively, considering that Drexei
regards itself a technologically
integrated university.
As for the almost lyrical topic
o f W ed n esd ay ’s lecture, H a
kanen says that Postman “agrees
that the medium is the message
and that we can only define new
media in terms of media that pre
cede it.
He [Postman] goes a critical
step further, however, in showing
that this inherent lack of ability
to articulate a new medium in its
own term s leads to a lack o f
understanding the consequences
of that medium.”
According to Postman,'technology is not a panacea for the
country’s educational woes.
“He believes that technology
has been given too niuch atten
tion to the point that we have
com e to believe.that learning
about the technology itself has
taken the place of or obscured
the basic reasons for why we
should learp,” Hakanen said. “In
o th e r w ords, we have given
method precedent over theory.”
Postman predicts that an edu
cational system that favors tools
over ideas will fail.
“He [Postman] believes that
we must rediscover the reasons
for learning that built our nation
and give them their rightful place
of im portance in the learning
process,” Hakanen said.
Postman’s best-sellers include
Technopoly, How to Watch TV
News and Amusing Ourselves to
Death.
His articles have appeared in
The New York Times Magazine,
The A tlantic, The H arvard
Education Review, The W ash
ington Post, and The Los
Angeles Times.
In 1986, P ostm an won the

Phase two of CDP encompass

tract, M arrio tt started the
process at Drexei within the first
two months of the contract. One
of the terms of M arriott’s cgntract Avith Prexel stated that the
CDP would be done within the
first year.

In 1992, enrollm ent for the 1995-96 academic year was p re
dicted to fall somewhere near 4,500 undergraduate students. It
never fell that low, but no one on cam pus is necessarily com fort
able with the steady enrollm ent o f about 5,600 undergraduate

M anagement Gary Hamme.
H am m e and his staff haven’t perform ed a miracle, they have
p e rfo rm e d th e logical. T hey have in creased responsiveness.
They have m ade the {Process better for individual students^ They
have let prospective students know that they care about Drexel
and about adm itting the right students.
And they have done all that with simplest o f premises: make
students realize that som eone at Drexel cares about them.
It is so astonishingly simple that we wonder why it hasn’t hap
pen sooner. O r even why other departm ents, on cam pus can’t do
the same. OSIR and Financial Aid have been plagued by accusa
tions o f negligence to students. W hy can’t they too find a way to
make students believe they care about what they want?
OSlR’s W orld W ide Web page developm ent is a start, as is
Financial Aid’s abandonm ent o f the rolling award packages for
freshmen. But these efforts alone are not enough.
M arrio tt is taking the very sam e logical steps. They to o k a
survey o f about 10 percent o f the student population to find out
exactly what students want for food service. W ithin a year, they
will be im plem enting a plan to b rin g better food service and
m ore locations to Drexel.
G ary H am m e p ut it best: It’s n o t about who you get in the
front door, it’s w ho you keep happy. Increased applications,
which should very well lead to increased enrollment, is a great
place to start. After all, increased enrollm ent m aintained over
several years can only help th e financial situation. However,
keeping the students who are here happy is just as im portant,
because if people graduate happy, they becom e happy alumni.
And happy alum ni give m ore back to the University.
That’s what too m any people seem to m isunderstand. If m ore
adm inistrative departm ents took it u pon themselves to u n d er
stand students and make life better for them, great things could
happen.
Yes, the Admissions staff has a wonderful idea. And everyone
else should listen.

Upcoming graduates
should start saving now
For those upperclassmen read
ing this newspaper, the thought
of graduating, going to work and
earning a high salary may soon
become a reality. This will be the
first time in your life that you are
financially independent. That
means you can earn and spend
your money in whatever manner
you choose. How will you spend
and save?
H istory indicates that most
people in their 20s actually dis
save. That means no matter how
much salary is earned, most will
spend more than they earn. It is
not until individuals reach their
30s that savings actually accumu
late. Unfortunately this is really
too late to begin. Saving for
retirement should be one of the
first concerns for new graduates.
That’s right, retirement.
The reason is that the sooner
funds are saved, the more likely
an individual is to reach his goals.
What should those goals be?
Most financial advisors will tell
you that when you reach retirement you shou d have accumu
lated savings of about a million
dollars. Yes, one million dc)llars.
That will insure that you have
sufficient wealth to carry you
th rough the retirem ent years.
And as medical science continues
to advance, life expectancies con
tinue to grow. Since many of you
may easily live to be more than
100 years old, one million dollars
is not an unreasonable sum^
But you are probably asking
how you can possibly save a mil
lion dollars in the 40 or so years
that you will work. Doesn’t that
m ean ab o u t $25,000 p er year
would have to be saved?
No it doesn’t. And the sooner
you begin, the less that will have
to be saved each year. In fact if
you average a nine percent return
on all funds invested over time,
less than $200 a month will have
to be saved over the course of
your working years to reach the
million dollar goal. The key is to
begin saving early so th at the
compounding of interest begins
early and your total savings grow .
more rapidly.
For instance, if you saved
$2000 this year and left it in a
fund earning nine p ercen t, it
w ould grow to $64,000 in 40
years. Save that am ount every
year for the next 40 years and you
will reach your goal.
Many baby boomers who are
now in their late 30s to late 40s
have ignored savings in their 20s
and early 30s. Now they realize
that retirement may not be that
far away and they are woefully
unprepared. The result is that
very large sums must be saved in
the next 25 years or so to have
any chance of a stable retirement.
They are in big trouble.
And you should probably for
get about Social Security. This
pay-as-you-go system assumes
that there will be a relatively con
stan t p o p u latio n mix, so that
there is always 20 percent of the
people collecting benefits and 50
percent contributing. Unfortun
ately for the Generation X-ers,
there are relatively few of you
who will have to carry a large
number of boomers.
The Social Security system, if
not b an k ru p t by the time you
reach retirem ent, will pay very
low benefits and probably won’t
offer these benefits until the age
of 70 or 75.
The b o tto m line is that
although saving for retirement is
probably the last thing on your
mind when you begin your work
ing career, it should really be
considered as soon as possible.
And remember, the sooner the
better.

Drexel currently pursuing a Ph.D. in

Official how-to guide of Creese's checkcrazy fiin in Atlantic Gty cashing bonanza
Gambling is not the only way
to have fun in the casin o s at
Atlantic City. For the benefit of
those who are 21, or have realisitic-looking d o cu m e n ta tio n
claiming so, I have assembled a
list of activities that can be per
formed in casinos that probably
will not get you arrested ,
although they might cause your
body to be forcefully ejected from
the casino.
First, some b ac k g ro u n d . A
casino is a place where adults go
to gamble. The only difference
between gam bling m oney at a
casino and Pushing money down
a toilet is that casinos have scanti
ly-dressed cocktail w aitresses
who are happy to serve you free
booze.
As I have re p o rted in p ast
columns, casinos have devised all
kinds of fun ways for you to lose
y o u r m oney, in clu d in g slot
machines, blackjack, and craps.
The m athem atics b ehind each
game ensure that there is basical
ly no way you could ever win any
money.
Casinos are usually full of old
— oops, I mean time-enhanced
— people, who’sit in front of slot
m achines and b ark at you, in
between puffs of a cigarette and
sips of tequila, if you approach
any slot machines in their general
vicinity.
It is my hope that social secu
rity benefits will still exist when
we Generation X-ers retire so we
can follow in their footsteps, try
ing to win large a m o u n ts o f
m oney which we would surely
donate to charities.
That said, here are nine ways
to add a new dimension to your
next casino visit.
Method one. Have an epileptic
seizure inside a craps table. While
you are thrashing around, you
might try tossing some chips in
your pocket.
Method two. Walk around the
casino with a pad of paper and
pencil, looking up at each securi
ty camera and making marks on
the pad of paper as if noting their
lo catio n on a m ap. W ithin a
minute, you will undoubtedly be
surrounded by two dozen curi
ous security personnel.
M ethod three. Go to a slot
machine, study it with deep con
centration, and then begiH ydling
“I won! I won!” so loud that peo
ple at the other end of the casino
will hear you. Once the disgusted
looks from fellow slot machine
patrons die down, move to the
next slot machine and repeat the
procedure.
Method four. Gaze up at the
n earest secu rity cam era with
intense interest. Just stare up at it
with a blank look on your face,
without moving, for an hour or
two, as if you had seen a U.F.O.
Be sure to have a nervous twitch
in your eye.
Method five. After examining
all the security cameras (cleverly
disguised under black domes) on
the ceiling for a couple minutes,
suddenly act as if you’ve just real
ized their purpose, and yell out to
everyone in the casino th at
“T hey’re spying on us! See?”
Point up to the cameras in a dra
matic way. “They’ve been watch
ing us all along!”
» M ethod six. Dress up like
Bozo the Clown, Barney the
Dinosaur or your favorite action
figure and skip around the casino
hum m ing loudly. The casino
m anagem ent will probably
assume you were hired by the
marketing department and won’t
question you.
Method seven. Locate some
one who is making large bets at a
blackjack table (say, $500 or
more each hand). Stand right
next to them.
When they lose a hand, let out
a snicker. The next time they lose
a hand, start to giggle uncontrol
lably. After a few hands, laugh
out loud, collapsing to the floor
in hysterics.
M ethod eight. Again, stand
next to someone playing black
jack. Each time they hit, let out a
groan, loudly letting everyone
around know that you wouldn’t
have done that. When they lose,
hum “I told you so.” Also feel
free to offer other advice, such as
“I would have split that hand,”
particularly if the rules of black
jack would not have allowed the
hand to be split.
Method nine. Spend your next
visit at a casino crawling on your
hands and legs the entire time. If
you are questioned by anyone,
simply state that you dropped a
quarter, and are looking for it.
M. Scott Smith ([email protected]
.edu) is a senior majoring in connputer
science. One tinne he came really close
to winning a progressive jackpot, and
he's been sore ever since.
Let me say
this right now,
before I forget
why I’m w rit
ing this co l
um n. I’m ec
static that the
University has
finally reco g
nized the immense desire of the
student body to cash checks and
buy cell pho nes and paging
devices.
I’ve been a student here for
four years, and not once have I
decided to buy a beeper on my
way to the b o o ksto re. Good
thing, too, because that never
used to be an option. But now
that there’s a display case full of
flip.-phones and beepers 10 feet
from the MAC machine, I can
hardly restrain myself.
Apparently, the powers that
be had no idea how much I’ve
been itching to pick up a cellular
phone. Gosh, th ey ’re so cool.
Now I can cruise down the
Expressway during rush hour,
chatting away as if I were in my
own little w orld. O ooh, I’m
drooling.
And the check-cashing option
is such the added bonus. Why
should I wait for my bank to clear
my checks? I can just walk up to
the window — the lack of lines at
the place is an added bonus —
cash the check, and boom !
In stan t s p e n d in g m oney/ O f
course. Cash Am erica gets a
small cut of my check, but what
do I care? I’m that much closer to
getting that beeper I “fo u n d ”
reactivated.
Yes, I sure am glad that the
needs of the com m unity were
addressed.
I co u ld n ’t believe my ears
when I heard the kinds of stores
they were planning to put in the
new mini-mall. A Wawa? Who
the hell would ever want to pick
up a cup of coffee or a bottle of
Snapple while they’re in
MacAlister?
Oh, and the greatest travesty
of all would have been if they’d
opted for a record store instead
of my coveted check cashing cen
ter. Think of all the problems that
would have created. Rock music
being played in the background
as packs of people clogged up the
store in search of a CD.
Oh, and worse yet, people
from outside the University com
munity may have even come in
to patronize the store.
Yes, sir, we certainly dodged a
bullet there.
There’s still that empty store
front betw een the florist and
beeperland that needs to be filled.
I hope the University doesn’t
fumble this one. I, for one, think
we need a good, old fashioned
liq u o r sto re on cam pus. Or
m aybe they could convince a
body piercer to move off of South
Street. Either way, the needs of a
diverse cam pus com m u n ity
w ould be served like th ey ’ve
never been before.
So celebrate, Drexel! Cash a
check! Better yet, page all your
friends while they’re in class'. Let
the faculty and adm inistration
know how much you love your
new shopping options. Me, I’ll be
placing long distance calls from
my snazzy new flip phone. From
Houston Hall.

mechanical engineering. He's never,
ever felt the urge to buy a CD at
lunchtime.
C o m m e n t a r y : R o g e r B a rr
Valentine's Day is a complete waste of time
Oh joy of joys, another holiday
is upon us, only this one could
very well be the worst of them all.
You can close your eyes, you can
pretend it’s not really happening.
W hether you admit it o r n ot is
unimportant, Valentine’s Day is
here. “’Tis the season to be an
ugly pink color.”
I’m sure this will com e as a
huge shock to you all, but I hate
V a len tin e’s Day. T here is so
much to hate about it it makes
me sick! I am not even sure where
to begin.
A friend sent me a Valentine’s
Day card which concluded with
this statem ent: “ Have a nice
February 14th! (But not a Happy
V a le n tin e’s Day — I hate
Valentine’s Day!)” This was an
actual card, so I guess there are
som e people ou t th ere who
understand the truth about this
pointless holiday.
I also read a passage in my
philosophy book that I found
quite good, “A crust of bread is
better than nothing. Nothing is
better than true love. Therefore, a
crust of bread is better than true
love.”
First things first, it’s time to get
rid of the plush toys once and for
all! A friend of mine got a plush
doll that was supposed to sing a
song o r so m eth in g when you
squeezed it’s st?omach. Instead it
m ade a gru m b lin g noise th at
made it sound like it was hemor
rhaging. They get eaten up by
your pets or ruined when you
spill your food on them, so either
way they’re not going to be there
for very long.
Now we move on to another
area of gift giving: the candy.
There is only one aspect of the
V alentine’s Day candies that I
like: the mini red-hot fire candies
(sorry, I d o n ’t know the exact
name for them). They are basical
ly the size of Chichlets and are
c in n a m o n flavored and hot.
Actually, they’re not really that
hot unless you eat a lot of them,
but at least it is pain of some sort.
O f course, th ere are those
"rom antic dinners” that cost a
fo rtu n e th^t som e id io ts go
through the trouble of setting up.
I won’t bother to talk about how
stupid I think that is when you
can just go to Taco Bell and have
a better tasting meal (not to men
tion, I would never pay more
than $10 for a meal no m atter
how good it is).
Now for the flowers. Oh yes,
we love the pretty flowers! The
dead plant carcasses that we tor
ture for a week or two, while they
try to struggle for their life in
some cup we put them in, watch
ing them w rinkle up and die
slowly. Kind of symbolic, isn’t it?
I think sending a simple card is
the best thing to do. “Dear Jane,
Congratulations, you made it to
another Valentine’s Day and you
are still alone. Hope you d o n ’t
kill yourself by this time next
year! Love, Bob.” — that’s what
they should all read. It shows
good common courtesy and lets
the person know you care about
them enough to lick a nasty-tast
ing stamp and send something
pointless to thei)% Nobody loses
money over theip, unless you are
one o f those "card n u ts” who
gives everyone a card. "Who are
you? Here, take a card! I don’t
care if! don’t know you! Just take
one!” I’ve met many people like
that.
Of course, if everyone would
ju st give each o th er cards,
nobody would feel guilty. You’ve
heard of or experienced that guilt
I’m sure: "Joe C o o l” bo u g h t
Helga a two-ton box of choco
late’s and she didn’t even spell his
name right on the microscopic
card she bought him. Who got
the better end of that deal?
See, with cards, you eliminate
all of that guilt. So just get your
most cherished ones a gift they
won’t feel bad about. Get them a
card and give them some of those
painful cinnamon-fire candies,
too!
There are also people who just
hate Valentine’s Day in general.
"This tim e last year I had a
boyfriend.” Wah! “This time last
year I was in love!” Wah! Guess
what? This time this year you are
still living in denial about the
past? Get over it. The guy who
lives next door to me sent himself
a flower. He proudly admits it,
which I think is cool and all, but
this is the kind of mentality one
can witness during this holiday. I
would have at least sent myself a
ham m er to belt C upid on the
head with.
This morning I had an idea of
a “Hate Holiday” and ironically
my friend back at home sent me
mail suggesting that he had the
exact same idea. 1 guess we have
one o f those m ental links or
something. Anyway, it really is a
good idea. 1 can see it now,
"Happy Hate Day! Kill yourself!”
It will be the holiday where every
one who hates Valentine’s Day
can get back at all the people who
love it.
Valentine’s Day isn’t all that
gleeful and joyous. It’s a time that
rem inds all o f us people who
don’t have anyone who we actu
ally can care about and to whom
we can say stupid mushy words
and repeat the phrase "I love
you” 5,000 times a day — that
"everything sucks, why not have
fun with hatred while you can?”
Roger Barr is a freshman. He'd be
quite a catch for one of you ladies.

Hofstra at Drexel. On paper, it
didn’t look like it was going to be
a very interesting game. On the
scoreboard, it wasn’t a very inter
esting game — the Dragons won,
93-63. But the s c o re b o a r d
(belied] the intense nature of the
game.
While last year’s Hofstra visit
to Drexel was a joke — the Flying
D utchm en hardly even looked
like a Division 1 team — this year
was very different. On Feb. 10, we
might have seen a beginning of
another intense N orth Atlantic
Conference rivalry.
“They always play us tough,”
said M alik Rose w ho p ulled
down 11 rebounds and scored 29
points for the Dragons. “Hofstra,
th e y ’re the k in d o f team th a t
always plays us hard and wacky.
We knew it was going to be that
kind of game and adjusted to it.”
The a ctu a l gam e was over
pretty quickly; despite a sluggish
first half, the Dragons ended it
with a 36-25 lead. “I wasn’t par
ticularly happy at halftime,” said
head coach Bill Herrion. “I didn’t
know if we were really focused on
the task at h a n d for the first
twenty minutes... W e’ve gotta be
c oncerned w ith ourselves and
how w e’re play in g m o re than
anything else.”
Hofstra tried to pull a Prince
ton, holding the ball until only
few ticks remained on the shot
* clock. “[My assistant coaches and
I] talked about it; what if they
slow it d o w n ? ” said H e rrio n .
“They were slow ing the game
down, but then you gotta score.
You have to put the ball in the
basket.”
Soon, H o fs tr a ’s fru stra tio n
showed. The D u tc h m e n ’s Tim
Beckett and Rose got into a little
scuffle — not an actual fight, but
still a little unusual in a college
bask etb all gam e. “ Did I get a
c o u p le re b o u n d s a fte r th a t? ”
asked Rose. “ 1 d o n ’t know ,
maybe I did. That was the point
where we turned up the defensive
screws.”
A fter the H o fstra win, the
D ra g o n s then e m b a rk e d on a
fo u r-g a m e ro a d trip , sta rtin g
with a nonconference game at
Lehigh. Lehigh is o ne o f the
P a trio t C o n f e r e n c e ’s w o rst
team s, a n d the P a trio t C o n
feren ce is o n e o f D ivision I ’s
worst conferences. So it was no
surprise that the game turned out
to be a 93-73 Drexel rout.
The D ra g o n s next play at
T ow son State Feb. 16 and at
Delaware Feb. 18. A Drexel win
will clinch the regular-season title
for the Dragons, and will have
the NAC c h a m p io n s h ip game
played on Drexel’s court, should
the Dragons get that far.

Wrestling coach developing future champs
Anh Dang
STAIF WRITER
“ Com e on, move y our feet!
G o !” If you ever go n e a r the
wrestling team’s practice room,
you would hear those screams
from coach )ack Childs.
All Drexel wrestlers are su b
jected to three strenuous w ork
outs a day. With four more meets
before the East Coast Wrestling
Association Championships, the
Dragons have a third-best con
ference record (4-3) and are 8-7
overall.
“This is a learning year for us.
We start one senior and three
freshmen, said Coach Childs. “
We have a demanding schedule.
I’m pleased with the results, but a
coach is never satisfied.”
According to Childs, one of
the highlights so far this season
was at the West Point Open in
which Drexel placed six finalists,
in c lu d in g fo u r c h a m p io n s .
A n o th e r was the win ag ain st
Bloomsburg for the fifth straight
year.
Coach C hilds has two sons
who are on the team. “To have
your sons play for you is some
thing every coach dream s of,”
said C hilds. F re sh m a n Mike
Childs is wrestling behind Bill
Brown in the 158 pound division.
Sophomore Jesse Childs, starting
at 150 p o u n d s, is 4-18. “Jesse
needs to put on som e m ore
weight,” said his father.
W a tc h in g his fre sh m a n
wrestlers develop and prosper is
something Childs enjoys.
Three starling freshm en are
making a name for themselves.
Brian Tashner at 118 pounds has
a conference-leading 6-1 record
(16-4 o v e rall). Eric M cG rath
holds a 4-3 record (15-9 overall)
at 177 p o u n d s , while 142pounder Jon Clark is 2-5 and 1212 overall.
Meanwhile, sophom ore 158p o u n d e r Bill Brown holds the
te a m ’s best in dividual overall
record with 20-6. His 5-2 effort in
ECWA also leads the conference.
S enior 1 2 6 -p o u n d e r Brett
Kendall is . 16--10 and leads
ECWA at 6-1. J u n io r h ea v y
weight Jamie H untington leads
his weight class at 5-2 in ECWA
(15-5 overall).
Injuries have not been a prob
lem for the team this year. “With
the Championships three weeks
away, we c a n ’t afford any
injuries,” said Childs,
The D rag o n s will travel to
Franklin and Marshall, Rutgers,
and Morgan State and will finish
regular season at the University
of Pennsylvania at 7:30 p.m. on
Feb. 29.
Childs said the team should
win at least two of the remaining
m eets. The ECWA C h a m p i
o n s h ip s will be held at R id er
March 9-10. For the first time in
school’s history, 20 Dragons will
be qualified to com plete at the
ECWA.

Women trounce Hofstra 84-61
Freshmen Laura Lyons and Deidre Jackson led
the way with a combined 34-point game
effort against the Flying Dutchwomen.
Larry Rosenzweig
PRODUaiON MANAGER
In th e p a st few w eeks, th e
w o m e n ’s b a sk e tb a ll team has
turned from a team looking for
an identity to a team looking to
contend for the N orth Atlantic
Conference title.
T h e te a m th a t sh o w e d up
Saturday against Hofstra, and for
the last six games, was not the
same team that started the sea
son. The defense was aggressive
and the offense was executing
plays flawlessly.
W hen it came to rebounding,
th e D ra g o n s w ere liice d ry
sponges thrown into water. This
tr u ly lo o k e d like a team th a t
could advance far into the NAC
tournament.
The first half against Hofstra
started off as a seesaw battle. The
T igers w ere g e ttin g o ff m ore
shots, bu t the Drexel defense
caused them to miss a majority
o f them . M eanw hile, Drexel
seemed to be cruising.
T hen late in the half, the
Dragons went on a tear. Two free
throws with eight seconds left by
fre sh m a n Laura Lyons gave
Drexel a seven point lead, 36-29,
going into the intermission.
The second half was dominat
ed by the Dragons. The mix of
run-and-gun and banging-inside
offense threw Hofstra for a loop.
The D ragons sh o t 50 p e rc e n t
from the field, while holding the
Tigers to just 29 percent. Four
th r e e - p o in te r s by Lyons (2),
junior Jen MacNeill and fresh
man Katie McGovern capped off
the 48-32 second half score. The
end result: a 84-61 crushing vic
tory.
Lyons led all Drexel scorers
with 19 points along with eight
assists. Freshman Deidre Jackson
was close behind with 15 points
and two steals. MacNeill c o n
tributed 12 points. Junior Tiffany
Davis led the D ra g o n s in
rebounding with 12.
Drexel shot a season-high 49.2
percent from the field in the win,
which improved the Dragons to
7-14 overall, 5-9 in the NAC.
In a non-conference game on
Monday, Feb. 12, the Dragons
lost to Lehigh University 77-63.
The loss d ro p p ed their overall
record to 7-15.
MacNeill led Drexel with 21
points. Freshman Kim Koshineg
followed with 13 and Rice had 12
points and led Drexel with 10
rebounds.
On the season, MacNeill leads
the Dragons with 18.4 points per
game and 8.8 rebounds per con
test. Feeney leads the team with
28 steals and Rice is tops with 13
blocks.
Drexel next plays at NAC rival
T ow son State on Feb. 16 and
th en m oves on to play at the
m e n ’s an d w o m e n ’s d o u b le h e a d e r at the U n iv e rsity of
Delaware on Feb. 18.

Triangle Sports Hero
M alik Rose, B asketball
He could probably win this every
week, but this was an exceptional
week even for him. In two games, 56
points and 31 rebounds and 2-5 from
three point range. I hope the 76ers are
watching, since they have nothing
better to do this season.
I\1ike DeRocckis, B ask etb all
Mike was named NAC rookie-of-theweek for the third time this season.
Mike scored 29 points in two games to
win the award. Plus, I realized I haven't
capitalized the R in his last name since
I've been editor. Congrats, Mike.
Sports Dog
G arry Kasparov, C hess g u y
He lost to a computer. He's defending
the human race against machines and
he's tied. Garry, win or this award gets
named after you.

good, not real bad, and ready to
shoot the hell out of anyone in
their way. You don’t know who
(if anyone) is going to walk away
alive. In Broken Arrow it’s obvi
ous from the first scene who is
going to win.
With a predictable plot and
boring characters, Broken Arrow
has only one thing going for it —
W o o ’s am azing action se
quences. Whether it’s a fist fight,
a gun battle or a car chase. Woo
gives the viewer an exhilarating
you-are-there feeling. He also
makes great use of top -n o tch
Hollywood digital special effects
— so m ething unavailable to
Woo in Hong Kong.
But big name stars and million-dollar effects can’t fill the
gaping hole left by the lack of
interesting characters.

inates the main reason to see this
film.
The initial shock of the revela
tion subsides, yet the knowledge
o f it flows back th ro u g h the
movie, adding pointed meaning
to previously superfluous scenes
and dialogue. If one were to
watch the movie a second time,
many of the scenes would have
their perceived content dramati
cally altered.
' •
While slow and not the most
attention’ grabbing at first, the
■ film leaves a decent .aftertaste, in

an off-stage dinner party for a

It was a tough plot to follow,

Dana’s kinky adulterer. Overall,
though, it was funny and Rob

In it, Arthur (played by Joshua
Browns) and M arion (Megan
Seely) are left to deal with^the
AIDS death of her ex-husband of
five years and his gay lover of

It was a set-up like none I’ve
ever seen, although it didn’t real

Browns and Seely played the
parts to near perfection, despite
going a bit over-the-top on occa

COMMUNIST SYMPATHIZER
No, they're not dead yet, but they will be soon.
Get an album to remember them by. Stop by
the Triangle office, 3010MacAlister. Name two
reasons why punk is dead, and they're yours.
Top 20 Albums of The Week
“This next one goes out to all
of you who smoke the herb.”
These words, and others to the
sam e effect, were repeated
th ro u g h o u t the night as The
Pharcyde, 311 and Cypress Hill
played the sold out February 9
show at the THC resin coated
Electric Factory,
W hen in dou b t, I im agine
they th o u g h t, appeal to the
crowd’s desire to be cooked out
of their collective mind. And
so they did.
The Pharcyde
did bong hits on
stage. Cypress Hill
passed around blunts
they took from the audience.
Nothing new. Just another day at
the office for three bands who
have n o th in g to hide when it
comes to their idea about what it
takes to have a good time.
Apparently, what The Phar
cyde and Cypress Hill don’t need
at their concerts is variety. Give
th em a handful o f beats and
they’ll use them over and over
again. They have an uncanny
ability to make time go really
slowly. This explains the necessi
ty of dope. If the musical envi
ronm ent w on’t really change,
maybe changing your state of
mind will make it all better.
Sure, there were some songs
which hit you so hard in the head
that you had to be dead to ignore
them . Or deaf, w hich w ould
mean the only reason you attend
ed was for the aforementioned
cannabis, or you think Cypress
Hill is hot.
Thanks, then, go
to Omaha styley
311, for in tr o
du cin g in to the
mbc a stir fry of, well,
m ore weed, b u t so
much more.
If it were up to me, which it
was until they caught me with the
secretary, I would have had them
play longer, long en o u g h to
make the o ther bands jealous
and throw tantrums, to which I
would have said, “Grow up, cook
up some new beats, and then
we’ll talk, Slappy.”
311, the reason N ebraska
doesn’t suck entirely, took a loud
Power 99 Friday Night Jam and
stomped it into the floor where
Benjamin Franklin invented fac
tories. Song after song stirred the
crowd into relentless dancing,
impressive displays of flexibility,
cool groove posturing and more,
much more, joking, smoking and
midnight toking.
In baselâll, if a batter, espe
cially a National League pitcher
like Bob Tewksberry, were to get
one hit out of three chances, he
could win batting titles and the
adoration of fans. At the Electric
Factory, when one band out of
three comes through with the
clutch hit, 1 go home with ring
ing ears and a greater apprecia
tion o f not having to actually
spend my own money for this
kind of entertainment.

TASTt TESTER
One thing I always hated
about movies set in the Victorian
Era was the way all the characters
were made out to be so in h u
m anly p ro p e r and san itary ,
denying the basic
h u m an d irt and
grime that is in all
of us.
Not once do we
see women in
hoop skirts bitch
ing about their heavy periods.
Never do the men in fine suits
and top hats spill booze on each
other while saying, “I gotta piss
like a race horse.”
The movies had absolutely no
p o int of connection with me,
except while I was in that pttase
impersonating socially stigma
tized English royalty.
For that reason, Angels and
Insects, hyped up to me by the
prom otional woman, failed to
really grab me for m ost o f its
duration.

W illiam A dam son (M ark
Rylance) has returned from his
expedition into the Amazon to
stay with Sir Harald Alabaster
(Jeremy Kemp) and his family at
their lush Enîsh manor.
W hile there, Adam son
becomes infatuated with one of
Sir Harald’s daughters, the pouty
lipped Eugenia, fresh off the
“m ysterious,” was-it-an-accident-or-not death of her fiance.
As in most films, the two are
soon married, after essentially
learning each others’ names and
establishing facial recognition. A
recipe for happiness.
Sir Harald’s son, the obtuse
Edgar (Douglas Henshall) makes
his d istaste for

Adamson little more than some
thing to keep him busy below the
belt, Matty Crompton (Kristin
Scott Thomas), a tutor for the
young Alabasters, provides intel
ligence and frien d sh ip , and
someone with whom to watch
ant colonies.
As the film unfolds, Eugenia
pops out kids faster than you can
say spermicidal lubricant.
Adamson grows tired of his
familial tie to the m ansion,
England and, well, this family.
They exist in an ignorance-isbliss, separated from the world
reality.
Just as the movie is peaking in

kicker of all kickers, throws a

CAVITY CREEP
There are action movies, and
there are John W oo actio n
movies.
The legendary H ong Kong
director, famed for his ultra-vio
lent Hong Kong gangster epics,
has gone to Hollywood, first with
the Van Damme vehicle Hard
Target, and now with Broken
Arrow, starring John Travolta
and Christian Slater. He should
go back to Hong Kong.
I did not expect an intricate
plot. 1 did expect unbelievable
action sequences. I wasn’t disap
pointed on either of those points.
The plot is the bastard son of
t Vndet Siege and Speed, had, evil
insane pilot Travolta steals some
nukes from a stealth bomber he
and gbod-guy pilot Slater are fly
ing on a test m ission. Is
Travolta’s role similar to the one
Tom m y Lee Jones played in
Under Siege^. You betcha.
Slater has to chase him down,
but the clock is ticking on the
bom b, so it’s a frantic race
against time. Similar to Keanu
Reeves’ role in Speed? Right on.
T here’s even a female park
ranger (Samantha Mathis) who
tags along with Slater and —
believe it or not — in the midst
of all this mayhem and destruc
tion, they fall in love! Yay!
Slater and Travolta turn in
good pfrformances, considering
the limited scopes of their charac
ters. But Mathis is a disappoint
ment. She’s neither charming nor
attractive. She’s just annoying.
W here’s that cutie-pie Sandra
Bullock when you need her?
Woo has turned ridiculous
premises into exciting thrillers
before. Hard Boiled was about a
gang of gun-smugglers who ran
their operation out of a secret
wing in a metropolitan hospital.
This is just as implausible as the
“stolen nukes” story in Broken
Arrow, but Hard Boiled is capti
vating, and Broken Arrow is not.
The difference is that the char
acters in Broken Arrow are totally
polarized. Bad guys are evil to
the bone. Good guys are pure as
the driven snow. In Hard Boiled,
m ost o f the characters were
shady undercover cops. Not real

Drexel Players’ doesn’t do stu

around. There’s something a lit

Somehow, the student-directed
stuff feels a little better.
This past weekend brought

Mandell Theater.
Horton Foote’s
Blind Date led the
evening off.
D irected by
Erik Sojka, it was
a story of a typical
’40s household —
sexism and all.
In fact, that underlying sexism
is what drove the play’s plot and
voracious humor.
M att DiFranco and Jessica
Fuhrer were great as the family
leaders.
DiFranco’s character was an
extremely well-written testament
to the silent father.
Ian Rickert’s portrayal of the
nerdy caller Felix was downright
scary. Corrina Hartman p l a ^

Billie Jo Calnan directed At

In th at play, a couple, Nancy
(played by Cindi Greene) and
Bob (Kevin Connolly) brawl it

dealing with the em ptiness of
th eir lives and
their marriage.
The two actors
were excellent,
grabbing

however, I felt
like I was watch
