Club Lawrence Opens Its Doors Charged Energy Issues
VOL. X C X I- N O . 9 LAW RENCE UNIVERSITY, APPLETON, W ISCONSIN 54911 FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1986 Club Lawrence Opens Its Doors By Betsy Burstein Lawrence's new m u lti- m illio n d o llar re cre atio n center o ffic ia lly opened its doors on Monday Jan uary 6tn. The center is open to all currently registered students and all currently em ployed fa c u lty and s ta ff. To enter the center everyone must present a vali-dine card. The center has four levels of fac ilitie s. The first level is occupied by an eight lane sw im m ing pool and a diving well. The men's and women's locker rooms and saunas are also located at this level. The second level has an exercise room , a multi-purpose dance room , a sem inar room overlooking the diving well, and two ra cq u e tb a ll/n a n d b a ll/w a lly b a ll courts. The third level has a gym nasium and two more ra cq u e tb all/h a n d b all/w ally b all courts. There is an indoor track at the fourth level where 14 laps equal a m ile. The re cre atio n center is open from 7 am to 11 pm Monday through Friday. On Saturday the center is open from 10 am to 12 pm , and on Sunday from 1 pm to 11 pm . A ll recreation center users are allowed to bring up to three uests at a cost of $2.00 per person, ro experience the new re cre ation center for, as P lato would say ". . . too much relax atio n m ay produce an excessive softness . . . ." g LAWRENCE STUDENT filps over new pool EDITORIAL Charged Energy Issues By Scott Witcomb Have you thought about conserving some energy—and not ju st for the weekend party at the nearest frat house? ¡1 so, then you w ill be interested in discovering tn a t Energy Awareness Week w ill be observed on campus next Monday through next Friday. A linough energy issues nave not exactly topped the headlines re ce n tly , the funda m e n tal problem s of the last decade have not disappeared. If anything, questions about where our future supplies of energy w ill come from and how th a t energy w ill be generated are more crucial today than ever before—precisely because few people are giving these questions much thought. N uclear pow er does not seem to hold the answers to our future needs. Rising levels of dangerous nuclear waste pose unsolved problem s. The pro hibitive costs of nuclear energy pro d u ction —billions ol dollars more than anyone ever im a g in ed—coupled with construction delays and design flaw s in nuclear power plants have produced more questions than an swers. Fossil fu-sls, s.ich ?s coal anil oil, certainly c a rro t m eet Lx- world's future dem and for energy, sim ply because there is a fin ite supply of these resources. Costs will inevitably increase as the fossil fuels become more scarce and as they become more d iffic u lt to retrieve from the earth. A lternatives such as solar, biomass, wood, geotherm al, and wind power certain ly seem to hold prom ise for the future. The only problem is that very little e ffo rt, in term s of research and developm ent, is being invested to insure future supplies of inexpensive and p le n tifu l energy supplies for the world's population. At the m om e nt, anyhow, conservation is an excellent means for curbing energy usage u n til new answers are found. * P, \l*é • ¿ il RACQUETBALL under glass photos by Rob Maze Monday, January 13th, 7:45 pm, at Sig Ep House--1) Energy displays from Wisconsin E le c tric and Wisconsin N atural Gas set up in Dow ner Com m ons; 2) Stu dents register for individual lifestyle audits to be conducted by WNG late r in the week; 3) M eeting with fra t house managers and presidents to analyze energy conservation possibilities in the quad."

Co-sponsored w ith WNG and the L U C C Physical P lant Advisory C o m m itte e . FOOD COMMITTEE STILL HUNGRY By Stacie Laff They ran out of the edible entree and now all that rem ains to eat is some m ulti-colored, plaster-like casserole dish. For the b e tte r interest of your alim e n tary tra c t, you decide to eat just a salad. That, as usual, is one big disap p oin tm e nt. Does this sound fa m ilia r? I'm sure you have all com plained in one way or another about the Dow ner Food Service; et, except for a few students who a ctu ally ave attended the Food C o m m itte e m e e t in g s, you probably have done little to "uncruelly" voice your com plaints. Last year, in order to get some input from the students, Lori u osz began a Food Advisory C ouncil that met bi-m onth ly. Few students attended these m eetings and, consequently, little was accom plished. This year the Lawrence U niversity C o m m unity C oun cil (LUCC) has created aa "o ffic ia l" Food Advisory C o m m itte e . * an? writing this a rtic le as chairperson oi this new c o m m itte e e to inform other Law rentians of the changes we have made to im prove the food service. F o j* exam ple, Lori Gosz has ordered toasters for both Downer and C olm an dining halls. She has also altered the menu for term II to include soup at dinner, more bagels at breakfast, and cheese as a perm anent part of the salad bar! Many great suggestions exist out there that could be incorporated into the present food service. I am sure many of them would g reatly improve what we have now. So please, either send suggestions to the Food C o m m itte e , come to the c o m m itte e m eetings, or— b e tte r y e t—join the c o m m itte e and becom e an activ e part of a very im p ortant group. R em em ber, you are what you e at. Friday, January 10, 1986 Page 2 Today’s College Student Liberal POINT-COUNTERPOINT The college students of today, a l though not as overtly ra dical as the flow er children of the '60s, s till espouse m any liberal ideals and values. While many equate liberalism w ith rebellion ana conservatism w ith c o nfo rm ity , this is sim ply not true. Liberalism is the desire for change and not being a fra id of a tte m p tin g new ideas; while conservatives are stubborn and foolishly deny any progress by clinging tenaciously to the ideas of the past, scream ing "T radition!" in the face of today's youth. Much of the responsibility for the illusion of the conservative surge on campuses of this country rests greatly on the shoulders of the m edia. Merely because of this co ncentratio n on conserva tive values: Reagan's sainthood, tru m p e t ing elephants and all-around goody-goody s tu ff; this little indicates tne over-all com position of university e nrollm ents today. When Reagan overw helm ingly ran away w ith the 1984 presidential ele ction , this is not an in d ic a tio n of any rise in conservative value am ong college students. It m erely dem onstrates a d isconte ntm e n t w ith the alte rna te choices and a tolerance for an adm in istratio n submerged in g la m ourized incom petence. D issatisfactio n w ith policies for L atin A m erica and nuclear arms are clear evidence of no shift towards conservative ideals. It is true that the swell of n atio n al pride in recent years has not missed the campuses of A m erica; however, this does not denote a turn from concern for social problem s of this country to an obsession for to ta l se lf- g ra tific atio n . Television has m erely obscured the prob lems of our society by granting air-tim e to lifestyles of the rich and fam ous instead of bank foreclosures on farm ers. Sexually speaking, while students today are mucn more conscious of their responsibilities to them selves and the ir partner, students are s till very permissive in thought and a ctio n. By looking at the rising s ta tistics of single parenthood and increased use of contraceptives it is clear that today's student has no qualm s whatsoever in engaging in sexual acts. This new permissiveness is also found in the increased use of drugs on cam pus, and the recent upsurge of designer drugs. Students today are not any more conservative than they have been, they are m erely more d ire ctio n and goal-minded while still being unafraid to express themselves in w hatever way they choose. Is this the student of the 80’s or Conservative "U niversity students today are more conservative than they have been in m any years. Their concern is w ith careers, not ideology." These words, provided by colum nist A nthony Lewis, m ay be surprising to those who re m e m b e r the fervent anti-A m ericanism c h a ra c te ris tic of the 1960's college student. But m any things have changed since then. No longer does one see on the campuses in this country propaganda film s arguing against the U.S. role as the "in te rn a tio n a l m a le fac to r," or smoke-ins, or university deans being thrown down the stairw ay. R ath er, the hippie has been replaced by the yuppie. Most students go to college w ith the m ain goal of m aking big bucks. The c om pe tition for good positions is more intense now than in the 60s. Thus, more high school seniors w ill plan to study business a d m in istratio n or engineer ing in the 1980s than, say, philosophy. This conservative trend could cause severe problem s for liberal arts in stitu tio n s like Lawrence as they com pete w ith huge universities for highly-qualified applicants. p a rticip ate d in the presidential ele ction voted for Ronald R eagan. Their career goals have put them in agreem ent w ith the Reagan a d m in is tratio n s conservative fiscal policy of low taxes, which is seen as pro-business, and thus, pro-growth. Conservative groups have seized the opportunity to increase the conserva tive trend among college students. The College Republicans o rg a n iza tio n , which has m em ber groups on m any campuses today, receives 5100,000 a year. The In stitute for E d ucatio nal A ffa irs pours Institute $150,000 into most large universities io help set up conservative, :onservative, student-run newspapers; fifty such papers pap< have emerged over the last four years. C ollege students have more conserva tive attitu d e s towards social issues as w ell. Drug use has gone down and, where it still persists, it is done behind doors. A ccording to Public Opinion, 85% of college students believe pre- m arital sex is im m oral. College campuses are seeing more religious groups and a c tiv itie s now than during any tim e before. It is hard to te ll how long this trend w ill continue but there is good reason for conservatives in this country to be pleased w ith what they see. . . . or is this? -By M ike Bohm -By Jeff Martins General Editors................ ..................Scott Witcomb Karin Swisher News Editor..................... .....................

F a ll Sports R e c a p p e d The Law rence Vikings fa ll sports team s accom plished some a m azin g Teats in 1985. The men's cross-country team were Midwest C onference cham pions for the third consecutive tim e . Only three schools have reached this goal in the 66 years that the conference has existed. A lthough five of the team 's sixteen runners were not running in the Viking In v ita tio n a l, the last m eet before the Midwest C onference C ham pionship, the team m anaged to g»et second place. Coach Gene Davis had a little d iffic u lty picking the top eight of the sixteen runners that would com pete at C o rn e ll, but these choices turned out to be the winning com bin atio n . Senior E ric (E.J.) G riffin won A ll-Conference honors for the third consecutive year, and he won the second straig ht individual title . Senior Chris Berger also was chosen for his third All-Conference te a m , and three rem aining Vikes were awarded the honor of being nam ed to the A ll-C onference squad. The women's team finished fourth in the conference m eet. Liz Brown finish ed in 14th place, and she was named to the All-Conference team . The men's soccer team achieved the Midwest Conference title , its first t itle , and the team also finished with th e ir best overall season, winning ten games and losing only two. The Vikes won the ir last eight gam es, and the N C A A D ivision III selection c o m m itte e seritpusly considered the Vikes squad for the regional tournam ent. U nfo rtu n a te ly , Lawrence was overlooked for other Division III schools. The women's tennis team was probably the brightest spot on the fall lineup. The team won the Midwest C onference C h a m pionship at Bridgeport fo r the first tim e . The team won o3 out of 54 m atches in dual m eets, w ith a 6-0 record. Seven out of nine title s were awarded to the Vikes at the conference m eet. Freshmen P a tti Dooley, Linda T om tshak, and C arin F rate r, ana sophomores Lisa Beckett and E m ily B artzen were five of the six top players, and they w ill a ll come back to m ake future team s as bright as this past season.
