This is the first semester that ser- vices from Cutler Health Center and the Maine Center for the Arts have been included on the Vali-Dine system, and representatives from both institutions have high hopes for the success of the process. Betsy Allin, Cutler’s associate director, said that although the system is not operating yet, she thinks it will work out well. “We arc always running behind if we rely on printed rosters or lists for information, she said. The all-purpose Vali-Dine card Don’t leave without it by Jaime Osgood Staff Writer The Vali-Dine card isn’t just a meal card anymore. It is now UMaine’s official identification card, giving students access to more ser- vices through it. Paul Pangbum, Residential Life’s coordinator of operations, said that students this year will be able to use the card for not only food and library services as in the past, but also for recreational athletics services, sports passes, Maine Center for the Arts tickets, theater and dance admissions, and health services. Pangbum said the advantages of widening the scope of the Vali-Dine card are twofold. On one hand it will eliminate a lot of running around for the students, and on the other, it will save the university a great deal of time, ” he said. Pangbum said allowing students access to those services with their card will help boost the efficien- cy of each area. We (Residential Life) feel that this is going to improve services all across the board,” he said. David Ames. UMaine recreational director, said that since the card began to be used for admission to recreational facilities two years ago, things have become much simpler. “We use it mainly for checking students who want to use Wallace Pool, the weight room, reserve ra- quetball courts, rent recreational equipment and that sort of thing,” he said. Ames said that before the Vali- Dine system was used, students were required to pay cash every time they visited any of those facilities. “Now it is all covered in the recrea- tional fee, and the card allows us to determine if students are entitled to use the facilites, whether they are really students, and whether they have paid the SIS fee,” he said. “This benefits the students as well. It is a lot easier than signing in, and usually takes less time. ” Allin said she expects the ValiDine system to help the health center and the students themselves keep track of their actual status as to whether the health fee option has been paid, or whether students have health insurance. Brenda Henderson, box office director for the arts center, said that the system has been in operation since classes began. “It saves a lot of labor,” she said. Henderson said the Vali-Dine system has already been an improve- ment over the issue of a separate am cards last year. It makes it much easier for ui determining how many free tickets students are eligible for, and why,” she said. Each of the new services have bought access to the system, and rent card readers, similar to the ones us- ed in the dining commons. Pangbum said the exact cost of the expansion could not be given now because the it is not complete!) finished, but he did say redesign estimates were between $40,000 aad $50,000. Pangbum said that hopefully b the end of October, students will be able to use their Vali-Dine cards as sports passes as well. “ ? Ate� 0 sutl _ •Ofranpa $aead:tf juud � £ Parking u GSS adopts resolution to address parking problem by Jonathan Bach Staff Writer There arc 10,272 parking decals issued for 5,336 parking spaces at the University of Maine. Tuesday night, the General Student Senate made provisions to address the problem. After an active debate, the GSS passed a resolution making the parking shortage at UMaine a senate concern. Off-campus senator Curtis Stone sponsored the resolution, which originally called for the establishment of a separate committee to address the problem. Off-campus students are getting a bad deal as opposed to faculty and residents,” he said. Stone said off-campus students have a greater need for parking because they don’t live on cam- pus and h£«ve to commute. The wording of the resolution was changed, however, in an amendment proposed by off- campus senator Jessica Loos. In Loos’ amendment, the parking problem would be a topic of the existing Student Affairs Committee. I’m not sure forming another committee is the most powerful and effective way to solve the problem,” Loos said. Steffon Fitch, board of trustees representative, proposed that senators ask freshmen if they real- ly need cars on campus. “Maybe that’s what it’s come to,” he said. Off-campus senator Melissa Johnson agreed with Fitch’s proposal for a freshman parking ban. “I lived for two years on campus without a car. I had no need for one. I was able to live a normal life without one, ” she said. Parking woes c4 11 b 'Ve t 7 ?

Whether police believed the driver remains a mystery. She viewed the creation of a park- ing committee as redundant. “There’s already an administrative committee on parking,” she said. “And as part of the people who don’t control the purse strings directly, the best way to get through to them is by pressure. ” But off-campus senator Gary Fogg disagreed with the idea of a parking ban for freshmen. There’s no need to single out freshmen for a pro- blem the administration has caus- ed,” he said. Fogg agreed, however, that pressuring the administration was necessary. “It would be a much more con- structive use of our time if we went right to (Lick),” he said. That’s the only way to get something done. ” The Bookstore $1.9 million bookstore features added space Houses everything from tapes to textbooks by Tammy Hartford Staff Writer After 15 months of construction, the University of Maine is celebrating the grand opening this week of its SI.9 million bookstore. The new store consists of 19,500 square feet of floor space, 60 percent of which is new construction. The store brings together all of the bookstore operations that had been scat- tered over the campus for the last few months. Included in the new store are textbooks, which were housed in a separate annex for the last 18 years. The bookstore is holding drawings and giveaways for its customers this week. Every hour, a cassette tape will be given away. At the end of the week, a drawing will be held for a compact disc player, said Sharon Cole, bookstore manager. T-shirts and book covers are also be- ing given away throughout the week, she said, and all merchandise will be sold at a 10 percent discount until Christmas. So far. Cole said, the response from both customers and employees about the new store has been positive. Cora LeVasseur, who has worked in the bookstore for 4 Vi years, said she and her co-workers had been looking for- ward to working in the new store. “We’re happy, happy, happy,” she 1. “And proud, proud, proud. It pleases me that the students seem hap- py about it, too.” Many students said the new store would take some getting used to, but they like what they’ve seen so far. “It looks really good, ” said junior Karen Barrett. There’s so much space. You can move around better to get what you want. ” “I love it, it’s great,” said student Kristin Limoge. “It’s so big, I could get lost.” Cashier Darlene Moore said having everything in one store makes her job easier. “We’ve been really bbsy, but I like it,” she said. I like everything right here so I don’t have to tell people the) have to go someplace else to get something. ” Most customers said they liked the convenience of having everything under one roof. “I’m not sure where everything is yet, but at least I know it’s all here under one roof,” Susan Smith said. Before, 1 wasn’t sure if something was at the library or in the union or where it was. ” Denise Buzynski, a cashier at the bookstore, said customers arc not the only people confused. “They (customers) don’t know where anything is, and we don’t know where anything is, either,” she said. “Nobody docs, but we’ll get used to it.” bria folk' ••I jtftr lii r.'j H SB's Mae'!

Sands has been the University of Maine’s telephone operator for 5’ i years, handling all telephone calls com- ing in on the university’s main informa- tion listing. When he took the position, the university was just changing to its new telephone system. Sands was replacing two people who had been using a large, old-fashioned switchboard. “When I started here I was green, ” Sands said. “I had only been on cam- pus once or twice in my entire life, so sitting here was a crash course. ” Now a seasoned veteran of the switchboard. Sands said nothing sur- prises him anymore. I’ve gotten all kinds of questions asked to me over the years,” Sands said. “I just try to keep up on the con- tinual changes and steer people in the right direction. ” Sands said he enjoys working for the university despite the stress that comes with the job. Most people don’t realize what it’s like to take calls one right after another,” Sands said. “It never stops. But it makes me feel good that peo- ple do appreciate what I do, ” Sands concluded. A lot of people remember to say thank you, and that means a lot.” The Physically Challenged 17 '•Sts Jk W I I: I f Z : mJf A '■ . y • k m |u ftl MEf mkmk M’Adwl M ilLa 24 Breaking Down by Tammy Hartford Staff Writer Have you ever thought about what it would be like to try to get around the University of Maine if you were in a wheelchair, or had to use crutches or wear a leg brace to help you walk? How would you get to class or work? Where would you park? What if you couldn’t get into the building? What if you couldn’t climb the stairs? What if you couldn’t get into the bathroom, or drink from a water fountain? Nobody thinks about having a disability until it happens to them.” said Claire Thibodeau, a senior com- munications disorders major. Thibodeau wears a leg brace, and her mobility is quite limited. Stairways arc especially difficult for her. she said, because it was because of a fall on a staircase that she shattered her femur, or thighbone. “Stairs arc very painful and uncom- fortable for me.” she said. Getting to the communications disorders department office on the third floor of Stevens Hall is very difficult, she said, because there arc no elevators in the building. The lack of elevators in some buildings poses an even greater problem for Chris Adams, a freshman majoring in English. Adams has muscular dystrophy, a condition which destroys the muscles. He has limited mobility in his arms and uses a wheelchair. This campus is surprisingly accessi- ble compared to other places, ” he said. It is one of the most accessible in the University of Maine system, but there arc things that could be done to make it more accessible. ” Besides stairs, Adams faces another barrier when he tries to get into some buildings. Usually if 1 can’t open a door, I have to ask somebody to do it for me,” he said. Most people are very polite about it. but it bothers me. It aggravates me. but I have to accept it.” Adams lives in Hancock Hall, which has a ramp and an electric door that makes it very accessible, he said. I just have to press a button to open the door,” he said. We need more doors like that on campus. ” Some facilities merely need to be up- dated, Adams said. Some places have the old fashioned lifts for wheelchairs,” he said. They’re getting out dated, and they’re difficult to use.” More handicapped parking spaces arc also needed, Thibodeau said, and peo- ple need to be more understanding about why people with disabilities need special parking places. “It’s awful when you’re getting out of your car and you have an obvious disability and you hear somebody say, It must be nice. Wouldn’t like a custom place to park my car,’” Thibodeau said. I would trade places with them any day. I’d trade my park- ing place any day for two good legs. “Maybe they aren’t aware of what they're saying, but it’s very in- furiating.” she said. Some people think that just because I have some mobility and I’m not in a wheelchair, I shouldn’t have anything to gripe about, but it’s difficult and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.” There are people at UMainc who are trying to make things easier for students like Adams and Thibodeau. One of them is O.J. Loguc. Logue is the counselor coordinator of services for students with disabilities at UMainc. I am legally deaf myself, so I understand many of the issues people with disabilities face,” he said. Part of Logue’s job is to try to make the university more accessible to all students, he said. “For the most part, the university’s reaction has been very positive as far as t. . the Barriers 1 tor|s, « •st l' «t making changes to make the campus more accessible to persons with disabilities, ” Logue said. Both Adams and Thibodeau agreed, but said more needs to be done. I think the campus is considerate of some things, but not everything,” Thibodeau said. “Something needs to be done about Stevens Hall. “What if a bright young person with a disability comes along and wants to major in history or something else with the department offices in Stevens Hall?” she asked. “Are they going to turn that person away just because the building is inaccessible? Everything should be ac- cessible to anyone who wants it. ” Religion on Campus Representation of many faiths offers students a choice by Doris Rygalski Staff Writer On Sunday mornings, University of Maine campus life is put on hold while many students sleep off the excesses of previous evenings. But if the squirrels think they’ve got the campus to themselves, they’ve got another thing coming. At 9:30 a.m., the so-called day of rest” introduces the climax of UMaine religious activities, and approximately 670 students can be seen heading to their place of worship. Out of the 11,000 students that com- prise the UMaine population, 600 Catholics will be going to the Newman Center, 10 to the Episcopalian Canter- bury Chapel, and 50 will be enroute to the Maine Christain Association (Pro- testant Student Fellowship) at the Wilson Center. The Jewish B’nai B’rith Hillel Foun- dation at Hancock Hall, the Inter- Varsity Christain Fellowship at 20 Chadbourne Hall, and the UMaine Student Pentecostal at 203 Shibles Hall also provide services for campus students. Brochures at the UMaine religious affairs office also suggest the Newman and Wilson centers for their quiet and comfortable study lounges that are open to all students. Additionally, retreats and social get- togethers are also provided by most groups. “There’s always something going on, and everyone is welcome,” Sister Marilyn Nichols, new minister for the Newman Center, said. “It’s a family community. ” Yet, the attendance remains at a con- stant low, said Rev. Malcolm Burson of the Canterbury Club, with no significant fluctuations. We could always use more, but our participation is good, ” Sister Nichols said, giving the example of student singing group. However, as with every given rule, there always is an exception. The Moslem faith, headed by Mahmoud El-Begearmi, starts by holding its “prayer” on Friday, instead of Sunday, at the Drummond Chapel from 12-2 p.m. The attendance is also comparative- ly high when compared to the small numbers of persons involved. “There arc approximately 15 (Moslems) around campus,” El- Begearmi said, “and, of them, six to eight attend the prayer weekly.” Is the religion worth maintaing? “Sure it is,” he said, “The Moslem faith requires a group par- ticipation.” Hence, El-Begearmi said, the few who do come, keep the religion going. For those students whose religious persuasions are not represented on campus, many churches in Orono and Bangor will accommodate them by providing rides, according to the brochure provided by the religious af- fairs office. Whatever the case, the reasons for attending any religious affair is best said by Sister Nichols: “It’s a placeto grow intellectually, socially, and morally.” Photo by Mark St The Wilson Protestant Center is one of many religious centers ser- ving students at UMaine. 26 Campus ministries help students adjust by Debbie Dutton Staff Writer One of the most stressful ad- justments a young adult must make is the transition to college life. The cam- pus ministries at the University of Maine are there to help. The office of religious affairs is located in the Student Activities Office and comes under the jurisdiction of Associate Dean William Lucy. The purpose of the office is to help the campus ministries meet the needs of the campus by providing informa- tion and assistance to both students and clergy. “We are planning a dialogue session with campus ministries, administrators and students,” Lucy said. “We also give student listings to the clergy and help in directing students in who to see.” There are various types of ministries on campus, ranging from bible study and discussion groups represented by The Navigators and the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, to long-standing churches, such as the NcWman Center (Roman Catholic), Canterbury Club (Episcopal) and Maine Christian Association (Protestant). Rev. Thomas Chittick, the Protes- tant pastor at the Wilson Center, said he could speak on behalf of his church, the Newman Center and the Canter- bury Club, in relating the objectives of the campus ministries. “The three churches work together. Each of the church leaders were plac- ed here by our supporting chur- ches, Chittick said. We have two main objectives, we wear two hats — so to speak. The first purpose is a pastoral one, helping students to make a transiton in their faith when they come to college. The clergy are representatives of their faiths as teachers, pastors and supporters. The second objective is to be available to students, regardless of their faith, as a source of guidance. We try to support students in the enterprise of university life,” Chit- tick said. Chittick said he, for example, is the chaplain consultant at East Camprs. He attends resident director meetings, helps resident assistants and occasionally eats in the cafeteria to talk with students. “I try to be visible for the students, ” he said. “I'm someone to talk to who isn’t a member of Residen- tial Life — a friendly observer. ” The Newsstand - People - Watchers Louise Nadeau and Jean Thibideau may not be recognizable by name, but their jobs at the University of Maine have probably given them the chance to meet practi- cally every person on campus. The ladies behind the L-shapcd newsstand in the Memorial Union may not know their customers by name cither, but they often know before hand exactly what the purchases are going to be. The regulars—we have a lot—they often come two. maybe three, limes a day. Thibideau said. They come so often we know what kind of cigarettes, candy, or newspaper they're going to buy. Sometimes we have to say.‘bye-bye. we're sick of waitin' on ya' and put out thcout- to-lunch sign. said Nadeau laughing. Nadeau has been on the university pay roll for 28 years and 22 of those have been spent behind the newsstand. I love it here. she said, but admits she's ready to retire after 42 years of being in the work force. Just three years and three months left to go. Nadeau had no trouble planning her re- tirement agenda. What am I going to do? she asked leaning forward. I plan to sit on my ass and do nothing. They both laughed. Thibideau said she started in 1970 and plans to stay on indefinitely. Because they've been at the newsstand so long, both say they've seen many changes and have gotten to know many of the students. We're surprised at the number of old students who come back to say hello. Thibideau said. They bring their children, who are sometimes 10 to 12 years old. and it seems so strange. 4� m. as by Doris Ryqqlski Louise Nadeau and Jean Thibideau, There's never been a dull moment, said Thibideau. Two Memorial Union women who have seen a lot of swingin and rowdiness over the past 20 years while pirched at their newsstand post. The two say they've also received Christmas cards from all over the country from former students. The UMaine staff is not excluded from their list of acquired friendships. We laugh with the professors, too, Thibideau said. One of our favorites is Curly—that’s a nick- name we gave him. They also say that changes in student attitudes have been dramatic. Thibideau believes students are much more con- servative today. Back in the 60’s and 70’s, boy,” Nadeau said shaking her head, back then, even the professors came in with the candles and casket .burning flags and raising havoc. There’s never been a dull moment. Thibideau nodded in agreement. Nothing surprises us anymore.’’ Nadeau said, “but some of them still get pretty wild...we have to tum our heads twice and ask each other,' what boat did she come off?’’’ Laughter. Becauscof the time they've been he re. Thibideau claims they deserve a diploma. With all the historical recollections Thibideau and Nadeau have of UMaine. perhaps they should get a diploma. “We could write a book better ‘n Payton Place. Thibideau announced proudly. She recalled a time in the 1970's when the dorms had yet to tum co-ed. Students used to stay on campus on their time- off back then and we were real busy,” Nadeau said glancing at Thibideau. When Nadeau mentioned the “notorious stair- well five.” Thibideau rolled her eyes.’That was the place for making whoopy. Nadeau explained. Students used to have a swingin' time down at the Bear’s Den, too, Nadeau recalled. One particular evening in the 1970's stuck out in her mind. “All of a sudden they started to break dishes— breaking anything they could get their hands on,” Nadeau said. The crowd was so rowdy, she explained, that the effort to stop them was futile. So. Nadeau and the other workers decidedto just hand them the dishes. There was also a girl doing a striptease act in the comer. said Nadeau. By the end of the evening, the whole den floor was white with broken glass, she said. Nadeau, however, has pulled a few pranks herself. Thibideau said. She cited a time when a student asked Nadeau to break a $20 bill for him. She took the bill, tore it into four pieces, and handed it back tohim. Thibideau said. Hecouldn’t believed she'd done that. Asked if the story were true, Nadeau smiled and told of another instance when a student asked her to change a dollar bill for him. She opened the register and exchanged his bill for another dollar bill. At his exasperated look. Nadeau said she simply rcplied. Wcll, you asked me to change your dollar bill. Both laughed again. Actually, they laugh a lot. And. after 20 years the friendship has flour- ished. said Thibideau. They've gotten to know one another so well that a mere look between the two and a message has been passed from one to the other without a word having been uttered...a very handy talent for two self-proclaimed people watchers. Campus Construction College Avenue widening proje I begun by Steve Miliano Staff Writer University of Maine students and faculty members who drive to campus are now faced with another delay. The project of widening College Avenue has begun, and motorists have been advis- ed to allot themselves a little extra time to get to get to their destinations. For the past two weeks construction crews from H.E. Sargent Inc., a local construction company, have been digg- ing trenches on the sides of the road and installing a new drainage system. This is one of the first steps in the pro- cess of widening the road, according to Stephen Wight, the company’s project superintendent. When finished. College Avenue will be a 40-foot wide paved road with a sidewalk on the side of the road nearest the university. Wight said. The new drainage system is being in- stalled on both sides of College Avenue from Munson Road to the Orono-OId Town line. “W will be putting in new drainage pipes down (almost) the full length of the job, Wight said. “We expect to have all drainage done in about 10 weeks. ” Wight said work crews have done their best to keep traffic flowing as smoothly as possible During the day flaggers keep one-way traffic moving around the con- struction area, but at night both lanes are reopened. “We have had very few complaints about delays, Wight said. “I don’t think any car has been delayed more than five minutes. ’’ The Maine Department of Transpor- tation awarded the contract for the widening of College Avenue to Sargent last winter after putting the project out for bids. “They got the contract with a bid of $926,770,” said Ralph Emery, a resi- dent engineer with the MDOT. Wight said. “Bangor Hydro had to do the whole job including putting in new poles and doing the overhead wiring, ’’ he said. Emery described the widening project as “fairly complicated because crews have several obstacles to avoid. One problem that crews face is the possibility of digging up underground telephone lines. “We have to be careful of hitting the .«da� 'it ' ! MfiBk S!-' MabK’besid Wight’s company will be doing all ot the major road work, but will be subcon- tracting for the paving portion of the project.

Science building completed early by Debbie Dutton Staff Writer A new science building, an interdepartmental effort for the physics, chemistry and electrical engineering depart- ments, was completed four months ahead of schedule. The departments, sharing the building located near York Village, all study the surface of materials. Some of the materials the depart- ments study include metal surfaces used in industry. Donald Nelson, assistant director of engineering ser- vices, said the two-story building contains 25,000 square feet of space and houses two science laboratories. Dave Frankel, laboratory manager of the surface science and technology lab. said the move to the new building from the basement of Barrows Hall gives them more space. One of the new high-tech pieces of equipment in the lab is “a scanning tunneling microscope which allows scientists to sec pictures of atoms on the surface of materials,” said Frankel. The environmental chemistry lab is on the se- cond floor where lab manager Steve Kahl and a staff of 30 students and faculty members study the effects of acid rain on the environment. Although they do study other chemical as peas of the environment it was their work on acid rain that brought the FOX Television Network here Jan. 16-17 to do a story on their research. “The network did research on where they should go to get information on the effects of acid rain,” Kahl said. “They came up with the University of Maine. This really says something about the quality of people and the quality of the program.” The science building was built by Languet Construction of Belgrade and completed according to state energy re- quirements. Nelson said it has some im- portant features pertinent to the work being conducted in the laboratories. “The building has modern air condi- tioning and ventilation,” he said. —“It lias a special vacuum pump ex- haust system that brings gases being us- ed in the labs to the outside of the building. ” Money for the $3 million building was obtained through various means, said Brenda Cook, executive assistant to the vice president of research and public service. One and a half million dollars was generated through indirect cost returns (unused money from overhead costs) on federal grants and contracts In addition, $1.1 million is being ob- tained through a private fund-raising campaign conducted by the UMaine development office. Four hundred thou- sand dollars came from a U.S. Depart- ment of Education grant. Beer and Pizza: A Perfect Match Bert and John make Pat’s Tap Room a sociable place by Doris Rygalski Staff Writer without breathing,” he said laughing. Bradson recalls another night eight years ago when the washing machine overflowed from the upstairs of Pat’s. The Tap Room at Pat’s Pizza was dimly lit and sparingly occupied, but the� ’•‘it's Monday night and after the spartttti’s been served, it’s pretty slow,” Hoberta Bradson said. Roberta is a one-person waitressing dynamo downstairs in the Tap Room and is more popularly known as “Bert” around Pat’s and by the regulars. ” “Pat gave me that name, and it just stuck,” she explained. If there were any doubt regarding Bert’s popularity, it dissipated as two regulars readily joined the interview, giving their perspective of the comradery in Pat’s basement bar. “It’s like Cheers,” George Damren said. “It’s real sociable,” Jack Wood agreed. By now the interview was more like a pow-wow resulting in the revelation of many interesting facts. • There was Dennis Healy and the kiss- ing contest, Wood said. “Dennis entered the contest they had down here and kissed for one hour The water poured over a man mak- ing him fall into the booth, and “when I ran over to help him, he kept saying Tm sorry’ as though it was his fault,” she said chuckling. More recently, Roberta became a talc herself. I was planning to take time off to have my baby in April,” she said, “but the hockey team was enjoying much success at the lime. ” Johns fcnt ‘sat’ Bniioo' Business was so intense, Bert said, that every available hand was needed. As a result, she continually postpon- ed her time off. “It was Monday, April, 12, a spaghetti night,” she said, when her first and only child decided to make an appearance a week before she — it was a girl — had been expected. I remember, during labor, John, (her husband) and I tried to remember ; st� ghetti dinners wc serv- ut to be 66, a record for fleets, “The one thing I :ing pregnant was the I was getting. ” ire feeling sorry for lased. r someone who worked ik before the baby was n’t indulge in self-pity, jer job because she likes to be with her husband, Pat’s bartender, and it’s “a sociable place,’’ she says. To some students, though, Bradson admits that she is reputed as being a “Dragon Lady. ’’ “I’ve softened somewhat since my baby was bom, but I’m still stern,’’ she said. At 34 and looking good,’’ Wood added, Bert doesn’t see herself retiring anytime soon. “I used to say I wanted to retire by 35, but after 12 years it’s (Pat’s) become so much a part of me,” she said. Starting over would be difficult too, said Bradson, but with just eight in- complete separating her from a degree in social welfare at UMaine, Bert’s alter- natives aren’t as narrow as they appear. Maybe I’ll go back when my daughter starts school,’’ she said. ...Or, maybe she’ll make a go at another 12 years, but Bert said even she is uncertain. erta Bert” Bradson’s Tap Room at Pat's Pizza Is a tradition among UMaine students and alumni. Bombthreats Officials: Bomb threats creating ‘cry wolf by Steven l appas Staff Writer In recent years, the universuv has been plagued by an abundant number cf bomb threats. These threats, which aie becoming more frequent, arc creating a •’cry wolf attitude that has some peo- ple concerned for public safety. Ed Rice, a journalism instructor, teaches a mass communication class n Little Hall at 8 a.m. twice a week. On Thursday, Little Hall was targeted by an anonymous caller for a bomb threat. Rice, who had a guest speaker that morning, informed his class of the threat, but told students he and the let - turer would remain. After the class, a student confronted Rice and reminded him of the recen mid-Wcstern K-Mart bombing, in which a bomb hidden in a box exploded after the box was moved by a young girl. Rice later questioned his and other professors judgments in remaining in- side a building that is under bomb threat. I was angry at my own arrogance at having my class disrupted at that very moment. Rice said. “It was ar- rogance in the sense that I did not want to sec the opportunity for learning ar rested. ’’ Me said he thought other professors felt the same. Rice said he never gave the threat a se- cond thought until the student accused him of neglecting public safety. “What would have happened if that building had blown up? After, I felt guilt because I didn’t know what the protocol was, and that student reminded me you shouldn’t take any threat casually,” he said. William Laughlin, an investigator with the UMainc Department of Public Safety, said the university has no formal protocol for bomb scares. Evacuation procedures are required and recommended under different cir- cumstances, he said. Whether a building is evacuated depends on the wording of the threat. For reasons of public safety and the university’s well-being, laughlin would not elaborate. Fie said, though, professors who opt to continue classes in a threatening situa- tion arc “open to liability. ” Paralegals at Student Legal Services determined recently that if a bomb were to explode during a public bomb threat, there would be a question of liability. They said, however, that there arc “no clear cut answers; a court would have to decide. ” Rice said if he had known he could be held liable for the lives of students in a dangerous situation he would have had his class evacuated. “I plead guilty to ignorance. I only- reacted to my anger, ” he said. Laughlin said liability is certainly a factor, adding those arc hard decisions, and they are made at a much higher level. ” Officials of the UMainc Department of Public Safety said the rash of threats attitudes .Viziers catasta this semester is a dangerous game to play. ” More than 25 bomb threats have been called in so far this semester, about 6 more than last year at the same time, of- ficials said. John Gray, assistant director of public safety, said using the telephone as a weapon is only depriving students from learning and professors from teaching. ‘‘There are a lot of irate students and professors out there. ” Although psychologists are reluctant to correlate tests and stress with bomb threats, they say it is a possibility. This year, to eliminate the problem of bomb threats during finals week, the UMaine Registrar’s office is developing an alternate schedule for test periods. The alternate locations will be kept secret unless a bomb threat is issued, an aid to the registrar said. Bomb threat called in for Boardman by Rhonda Morin Staff Writer An early-morning bomb threat in Boardman Hall Monday resulted in the evacuation of the building and. later, posted notices saying “enter at your own risk,’’ UMaine police said. At about 8:45 a.m., a man called the Public Safety building saying a bomb had been placed in Boardman Hall and other unidentified areas, said UMaine police sergeant Mike Zubik. Within minutes, the department of Public Safety had responded and the department of Environmental Safe- ty had been notified, Zubik said. There was no bomb found in the building after a search by firefighters and Envrionmcntal Saftcy officials, said David A. Fielder, director of En- vrionmental Saftcy. About 100 people were evacuated from the building, which is located between Long Road and Little Hall. Six University of Maine firefighters and two Public Saftcy officials stan- ding outside the building rerouted people from the perimeter of the building. Fielder said his crew was paged at about 8:50 a.m. to assist the UMaine fire department in searching for the bomb. By 9:20 a.m., Alan Reynolds, director of Public Safety, was waiting to hear from officials in Wingate Hall about whether 10 a.m. classes would be rescheduled. John Collins, UMaine registar, said he received a 9 a.m. call to reschedule 10 a.m. classes. Collins said he found temporary classrooms in Bennett. Little and other halls for all eight of the classes. He said finding available classrooms was not difficult because of a back up contingency plan. ” There arc several vacant classrooms used to accommodate rescheduled classes and overflow from final exam periods. The bomb threats are not effec- tive as far as we are concerned,” Collins said. They arc just a nuisance. Students are hurt because they miss dassess or arc inconvenienced because of rescheduling, ” he said. Reynolds said Monday’s threat was the first of the semester. In March and April, several classes and tests were intcruptcd when a rash of threats, directed mostly toward Neville and Jenness halls, plaqued the campus. 35 Israelis storm West Bank village page 2 Jenness Hall addition dedicated page 6 Baseball Bears face Hartford page 14 The Daily Maine Campus J' IMVBSIY OF MWt ftWSKPER ShC£ K IT Wright defends himself Officials: Cult leaders led flashy lives :!V gAJ (4 pul.« T nd .

Fast Day 1988 was sponsored by the Interdormitory Board and the Sophomore Owls. Sheri Badger. IDB president, and Jim Moorehead, president of the Sophomore Owls, both said they were pleased with the number of students who participated in the fast. We felt that this was an effective way to help,” Badger said. I am happy with the way everything turn- ed out. ” The fast was only part of a university-wide effort to help the United Way, said Kevin George, stu- dent coordinator for the United Way fundraising project. The United Way raises funds for community service institutions like the Salvation Army and the American Red Cross. by Debbie Dutton Staff Writer Students in the University of Maine International Affairs Club are experien- cing feelings similar to those associated with becoming a new parent.

Randolph Erb, chair of the Uni sity United Way campaign, said university’s fund-raising goal for year is S70.000. It looks to me like student com- mitment is going to be outstanding this year,” he said. Erb said that throughout the year the faculty, staff and student body will have more opportunities to get involved with different fund-raising programs for United Way.

The group will also correspond with the child regularly, after the initial letter of introduction. Ralston said the process of sending letters could take as long as three months because of the the lack of an organized postal system in the region of Colombia, where Jorge lives. She add- ed that the Foster Parent’s program has a field office in Colombia that will do the actual dispensing of the Roods. When the picture of Jorge was sent to the club, it was accompanied by a case history which detailed aspects of his background. According to Ralston, Jorge’s parents have a combined income that is equivalent to $100 a month in American money. I think we’re much more fortunate, and $22 a month is really not much to send to help this child. ” Jorge Enrique Sanchez has been adopted by the UMalne International Affairs Clnb. fast for Oxfam lis is actually the second time we’ve put on the fast with Residen- tial Life,” said Judy Sucec, an Ox- fam organizer. In recent years, Sucec said, the UMaine chapter has sponsored fasts at the Newman Center. Sponsored by the Social Justice and Peace Committee of the Newman Center, the Orono Fast is part of a nationwide campaign to raise funds for Oxfam’s economic and famine relief projects. “This week Monday through Fri- day, we’re going to try to get students c up their lunch meal for Nov. r Oxfam,” said Carlcnc ,ue, Oxfam Fast co-chairman, ding to Residential Life of- udents may use their meal onate their lunches for the ovember 17, students who will not be allowed to cat y Residential Life dining mmons. For the 1988 fiscal year, Oxfam received more that $10 million in contributions. The UMaine chapter of Oxfam has contributed over $1,810 in its first year of service, Sucec said. “We had 1,350 students give up their lunches for Oxfam last spring,” Sucec said. Oxfam stands for the Oxford Committee on Famine Relief, found- ed in 1946 to aid some of the poorest people in the world. Although Oxfam receives organizational contributions, it does not seek or accept funding from the United States government unlike many other relief agencies. The United Way also sponsors fast days, the most recent was in October 1988, only a month before the Oxfam fast. Each year, Oxfam America fasts on the Thursday before Thanksgiv- ing in schools and churches nationwide. Bowdoin, Colby and the Universi- ty of Southern Maine also contribute to Oxfam. Each fast incorporates a theme. This year’s theme is the country of Kampuchea. Students may register to donate lunches at the following locations and times: • Wells Commons — Monday lunch and Tuesday dinner. • Stewart Commons — Monday dinner and Tuesday lunch. • Hilltop Commons — Wednesday lunch and Thursday dinner. • Stodder Commons — Wednes- day dinner and Thursday lunch. • York Commons — Monday Nov. 14 lunch and dinner. • Memorial Union — Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Family and Friends Weekend In all of the nineteen years that the University of Maine has been hosting family and friends, there hardly could have been a beautiful weekend. The weather was warm, the sky was blue, and the leaves were just beginning to change color. Some students thought that it was too soon in the year to have a reunion, but most students, both first-year and upperclass, were settled in the school routine and were pleased to see their folks and friends. President Lick started things off with a rousing, school-spirited address to students and guests. From there, visitors moseyed around the Organizational Fair on the mall seeing what kind of activities students take part in during the school year. There were live folk, rock, and jazz bands, parachutists, and a person on stilts to entertain the crowd. In the evening, there was plenty entertainment on campus: there was cultural fun in the Maine Center for the Arts; the award-winning film. The Last Emperor, was shown in the Memorial Union, etc. Most families went out to dinner following the football game against University of New Hamp- shire. The mood on Sunday was quiet, although some guests attended mini-seminars about life on campus. Later that evening, a tribute to Margaret Chase Smith was held in the MCA. Many of the visitors who missed the giant flea market in the Memorial Gym on Saturday de- cided to enjoy it on Sunday. Eamilies and friends finished a fun-filled weekend by saying their good-byes and looking forward to reuniting in two weeks when students would return home for October Break. Harriet A. Ferrell Ball On The Mall Homecoming ’88 46 REUNIONS HIGHLIGHT HOMECOMING It will be a weekend of reunions, tailgating, royalty and. of course, football, as Homecoming rolls around once again. “It's going to be huge this year, said Nancy Dysart, director of Alumni Activities. The 1988 Homecoming was initiated with the repainting of the bear paws along campus sidewalks by the Student Alumni Association Wednesday night. “The arrival of the bear prints kicks off Homecoming. Dysart said. The weekend events will begin Friday at 2:30 p.m. in East Annex with the opening and dedication of the Computer-Aided Design and Drafting Lab. Saturday’s events start with the Graduate M Club breakfast at 8:00 a.m. in Stewart Commons, followed by the opening of the 10th Annual Homecoming Fair in the Field House. “It’s going to be the largest fair in Maine , Dysart said. At 10:00 a.m. in the Sutton Lounge in the Memorial Union, there will be a reunion reception for all the alumnae of the All Maine Women and Senior Skulls. At the same time, the Civil Engineering brunch will set off a series of pre-game brunches for graduates of the Colleges of Business Administration and Life Sciences and Agriculture. At 11:00 a.m., the Senior Scholarship Benefit will take place in Stodder Commons. The proceeds of the tickets sold will go toward the Alumni Student Scholarship Fund. Also at 11:00 a.m., the tailgate picnic will begin. The term tailgating originated when tailgates were pulled dow n from vehicles to provide a place to have lunch before a game. The tradition has been one of the Homecoming highlights over the years. ttlatifc «rita m UMainc Homecoming Queen to be unveiled this Saturday Kingtobecro by Debbie Dutton Staff Writer For the first time in more than 25 years, a Homecoming King will be elected to reign over the festivities of the Homecoming weekend. The reason behind the revival of the king is to provide the male student population with a representative com- parable to the traditional Homecoming Queen. “It was a disservice not to have a king, ” said Kimberly White, president of the All Maine Women who are spon- soring the Homecoming King elections. Half of the student body is male.” White said the addition of the king helps to take away from the sexism associated with the Homecoming Queen election procedure. She added that this year, no preliminary photos were used with either king or queen applications. In previous years the photo was re- quired to accompany the initial application. The process used by the Skulls con- sists of first solicting applications, then reviewing the applications without look- ing at the student’s name and selecting 10 of the most qualified applicants bas- ed on their activities and achievements. The All Maine Women hope to use the process used by the Senior Skull Society when selecting the queen next year after the idea of Homecoming King becomes more well known. The turnout was outstanding for the first year, ” White said. jftflik — . n Bananas the Bear: then and now by Tammy Hartford Staff Writer In 1914, Jeff started a tradition at the University of Maine that lasted until the practice was banned by a Maine court. Jeff was the first live black bear to act as mascot for the university’s athletic teams. When Jeff was first introduced to fans at a football rally that fall, the sur- prised crowd applauded enthusiastical- ly, and thinking it the only proper thing to do, Jeff gratefully stood on his head; the crowd went ‘bananas!’” ac- cording to a history of the Maine Bear Mascot written by the brothers of the Sigma Xi chapter of Alpha Phi Omega. It is because of Jeff that UMainc athletic teams have been known as the Maine Black Bears ever since, the APO report states. And it is also because of Jeff that the UMaine bear mascots have all been called Bananas.” From 1914 to 1966, the university had a number of live bear mascots. Follow- ing the Maine court’s decision to ban the use of live bears as mascots, the school had no mascot until the spring of 1969. Robert Smullin made a proposal to his APO brothers that the fraternity provide a human mascot as part of its service program. The brothers agreed, and Smullins was designated as the first human bear”, the report says. Since Sraullin’s debut at the first home football game of the season in the fall of 1969. a number of APO brothers have wom the bear suit. One of them was Jeff Harris, who is now the Resident Director at Gannett Hall and an adviser for APO. Harris donned the bear suit in the fall of 1971 when he was a senior at H UMainc. ph0 0 by Kei,h A- Dre ° It’s a-lot of fun, because Bananas doesn’t speak, so people really don’t know’ who he is, ” Harris said. The APO brothers like the identity of the person in the bear suit to be kept secret, he said. Remaining anonymous and hidden in the suit allows people to be more outgo- ing than they might normally be, he said. The suit changes your personali- ty,” Harris said. It’s like with actors and actresses. Many actors and actresses are very shy, but when they are playing a part, they can become that part. When someone’s in the bear suit play- ing the part of Bananas, he becomes Bananas. ” Harris said he greatly enjoyed his ex- periences in becoming Bananas”. “Because our mascot is a fun-loving bear, he’s allowed to do things that would be ridiculous if anyone else did it,” he said. Bananas may get away with many wild antics, but there are some things that not even a fun-loving bear” like Bananas can get away with—like speeding on campus. One day after a home game I jumped into my car with the bear suit till on and headed for my dorm,” Harris said. “The campus police stop- ped me and I got a warning for speeding. I still had on the suit, even the head. Harris said he is proud to have been chosen to fill the role of Bananas. “I hope I lived up to the expectations of what he represents,” Harris said. “I really enjoyed doing it. ” |A Hftt 49 Martin Luther King, Jr. Week I Events to honor I Martin Luther King Jr. by Jaime Osgood Staff Writer The Office of Minority Programs and the Afro-American Student Association at the University of Maine have plann- ed a number of activities this week com- memorating the 60th birthday of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The week began with a talk by C. Delores Tucker, a founder and national vice president of the Black Women's Political Caucus and participant in King's celebrated 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery, Ala. Her presentation, “The Dream, the Message and the Mission,” was held in Hauck Auditorium Monday night. Before Tucker’s lecture, the Northern Maine Coalition on Undoing Racism held a program of readings, freedom songs and other music, followed by a candlelight march on the UMainc mall. Durrenda Ojanuga, a professor of sociology at the University of Maine and member of the coalition, was the pro- gram’s host. There were more than 100 people in attendance at the reading and at the march, and Ojanuga said she was pleas- ed with the support the events received from UMaine and the community. “Dr. Martin Luther King lived and died for principles that concern all humanity,” she said. “He preached togetherness, and that brotherhood is something we should reflect upon this week. ” Other activities planned during the week are showings of the documentary scries Eyes on the Prize,” which outlines the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Segments from the series will be held in the Damn Yankee from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. from now through Saturday. Also, entries from area school children in a coloring, essay and poster contest, “The meaning of Martio Luther King Jr. to America,” will be on display in the Memorial Unioo lobby. 31 -------- w UMaine to celebrate condom week by Doris Rygalski Staff Writer The University of Maine will be joining 300 schools nationwide in the celebration of National Condom Week Feb. 12-18. Although it is 11 years old, the pro- gram is being implemented at UMaine for the first time. Health Educator Ruth Lockhart said Condom Week is an attempt to raise student awareness of condom use as an alternative to unsafe sex and as a birth control. The program is aimed at inform- ing men that they can help in the birth control process, Lockhart said. “Aside from having a vasectomy, a condom is the only birth control method men have, “ she said. The entire week, she said, is a mini sexual health fair held in the Memorial Union and sponsored by a number of university groups and local organizations. Throughout the week, the National Condom Week Committee at Cutler Health Center will be selling condom key chains, and offering free con- doms and information regarding AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. Two UMaine greek societies — Tri Delta sororitv and Delta Tau Delta fraternity — will also be selling con- domgrams until Feb. 13. (See story on front page.) For a dollar, students will be able to send their friends a personalized valentine message, condom, and in- formation about sexually transmitted diseases and birth control. The condomgrams will be delivered on Valentine’s Day, Lockhart said. On Feb. 14, Love Carefully Day will also be celebrated. The day “promotes communica- tion between partners — hopefully before sex — and suggests choosing abstinence,” Lockhart said. “But, if- not, it teaches how to protect oneself and others. ” Love Carefully Day, an idea that started in the 1970s and was resur- rected two years ago by Lockhart, received national attention last year. Condom week is sponsored by Cutler Health Center, Residential Life, School of Human Develop- ment, Tri Delta and Delta Tau Delta. Love Carefully Day is organized by Bangor’s Good Samaritan Commit- tee. Mablc Wadsworth’s Women’s Health Center, Family Planning and STD (sexually transmitted diseases) Clinics, and UMaine’s Cutler Health Center and Peer Educator groups. jr ■ ivitoF.ti- a i Women’s History Week to have more variety by Andy Bean Staff Writer Observance of the 1989 Women’s History Week at the University of Maine will feature a bigger and more varied program.” said Paula Petrik, associate professor of history and chair of the program’s planning committee. We’ve tried to be as inclusive as possible and put together a program with something for everyone, Petrik said. Stewart Doty, chair of the history department, said Women’s History Week has been observed at UM inc for more than 10 years but was nothing like this year's celebration. The observance, held Feb. 20 to March 1, will include four major speakers, panel discussions, films, musical performances and displays recognizing women's accomplishments. All events are open to the public, and most are free. Riane Eisler, Los Angeles attorney and author of The Chalice and the Blade, will speak at 8 p.m. on Feb. 27 in 100 Neville Hall.

Sixty percent of the time, the assailant will be someone the woman knows. The third annual Rape Awareness Week at the University of Maine, March 27 to April 1, is designed to heighten awareness about acquaintance rape. The week-long observance, sponsored by UMaine’s Rape Awareness Program Committee, will be highlighted by lec- tures by Many McIntyre, chair of the Maine Coalition on Rape, and by Joe Weinberg, founder of Men Stopping Rape, Inc. McIntyre, who is also the executive director of the Sexual Assault Crisis Center in Lewiston Auburn, will deliver a keynote address, When the Rapist is Someone You Know, at 7 p.m. Monday in the Maine Center for the Performing Arts. m She will also present a lecture titled, Preventing Violence Against Women: Coalition Building,” at 12:15 p.m. Tuesday in the Memorial Union. Weinberg will discuss his organization and the founding of a campus chapter during two presentations Wednesday at 11 a.m. in the Union and at 8 p.m. in 137 Bennett Hall. Since being founded in 1983, Men Stopping Rape has become the nation’s largest and most active community- based group working to stop rape and change the attitudes and behaviors sup- porting it. The week’s activities will conclude with a Rape Awareness Conference for student leaders Friday, 8:30a.m.-12:30 p.m. There will also be a Rape Awareness Banner Contest with the theme, “Friends Don’t Force Friends. The First place winner will receive $100. Nancy Price, health educator at Cutler Health Center and co-chair of the program committee said Rape k % m TV Awareness Week is prevention- oriented. The conference, Price said, is an at- tempt to organize a student support system for rape victims. If the (student leaders) become more comfortable with the topic (of rape), they will be able to provide information and support to prevent it, she said. A student support system is necessary, Price said, since acquaintance rape, the most frequent type of rape in society, is most prevalent on college campuses. Most victims of acquaintance rape do not report the crime because they can- not believe that someone they know could hurt them in such a way, she said. “I know the person, how can it be rape? That’s the logic,” she said. According to the 1985 study, con- ducted by Kent State Professor Mary Koss, 90 percent of rapes go unreported in the United States. m Ss W I CULTUREFE ir w$wwpfr Culturefest ‘88 stresses need for diversity by Jennifer King For The Campus University of Maine's Memorial Union was transformed into an inter- national fairground with the celebra- tion of Culturefest ‘88 held this Saturday. With over 57 countries represented, the festival included an international talent show, special slide presentations on different coun- tries continuing throughout the day, and a fashion show that included traditional and modern costumes from around the globe. Ruth Bentley, international student advisor and chief organizer of Culturefest ‘88 said she feels one can benifit from Culturefest only from direct exposure. “Success for the next generation depends on how well you can func- tion in an international society,” she said. Bentley said Culturefest '88 had been carefully planned by the com- munity and the university with bringing their own cultural values to the celebration. There are over 304 students at the university on study visas and that doesn't count the refugees or students born in another country. she said. Booths were set up around the Union by language clubs, travel bureaus and vendors of international crafts. Brian Sullivan, representing the German club, promoted study abroad programs and said the Culturefest will do much to en- courage more participation in them. Sullivan, who traveled to Austria last year to study at the University of Salzburg, taking advantage of UMaine’s oldest foreign study pro- gram, said there arc too many students not involved in the program who should be. “Study abroad at the University of Maine has gone down. The programs we have arc very valuable and if more people don’t start participating in them we’re going to lose them. ” he said. photo by Doug Vanden� eid« Freshman Kick Keene takes part in a popular Maine Day sport - raking leaves. UMaine receives ‘face lift9 Maine Day volunteers clean up around campus by Steve Miliano Staff Writer The University of Maine underwent its an- nual face lift Wednesday as an estimated 3,500 students and staff took part in Maine Day ‘89, said Nancy Dysart, director of Alumni Activities. Continuing the tradition of campus beautification, workers braved what has become another tradition surrounding Maine Day — bad weather — as they spanned out across the university. Raking dead leaves, sweeping sidewalks and washing windows, workers braved rain and temperatures in the low 40s. About 75 different organizations signed up to work, Dysart said. “The weather was really awful, but all but two groups showed up. I think that says something really special about the quality of students attending this university. ” Worker turnout, however, was not as high as some had hoped it would be. Mike Worden, a resident assistant in Hart Hall, said his particular dorm had “very low participation ’ in the morning work activities. “One reason for that is that the RAs didn’t receive the paperwork to order rakes and stuff, ” he said. “We weren’t able to organize work teams. I don’t think the RA’s got enough support for the event. ” One of Worden’s fellow RA’s agreed. ”1 think it’s great that the number of people who arc out here are that dedicated, said Ibm McNeil. “You shouldn’t take anything away from them. They deserve a lot of credit. ” Maine Day 1989 Familiar Places, Familiar Faces Maine recognized for support of education by Cynthia Beckwith Staff Writer The past three years have shown a dramatic increase in state allocations for the University of Maine System. This increase has brought Maine in- to the limelight. The American Association of State Colleges and Universities recognized the states of Maine and Virginia as being “clear examples of vision and action in working cooperatively with higher education,” according to the commission’s report. Kent Price, assistant to University of Maine System Chancellor Robert Woodbury, said the recognition came about primarily because of an in- crease in state allocations to the university system over the past few years. “The large strides that the state has been making over the past few years are being recognized nationally. 74 v A $ to' j .vATf.i'.t° Av. 'vSw ao ; -o £g$8 Recycling project to be tested at UMaine by Jaime Osgood Staff Writer The University of Maine will begin a paper recycling project on a trial basis Wednesday in three campus buildings. Scott Hedges, chair of the Task Force on Recycling, said waste paper receptacles will be placed in three administrative buildings — Alumni and Neville Halls and in the service building where Facilities Management is located. He said people need to change the way they regard resources like recyclable paper, and the university should try to facilitate the process. The university is always in the public’s eye. A recycling project here will set an excellent example for the community and the state, he said. Hedges said paper and paper products will be pulled out of the waste stream” from the three buildings, picked up by custo- dians, and stored. The collected paper will be donated to GROW Industries in Augusta, an affiliate of Augusta Mental Health Institute: There the paper, will be sorted and. haled aM tW sold to be recycled. This project is designed to test the feasibility of recycling at UMaine, Hedges said. The project is Hedges brainchild. He is a sophomore majoring in wildlife management, and he said he has always had very strong feelings about the protection of the environment. It was Hedges who brought the idea of recycling to the ad- ministration’s attention. I felt something needed to be done about campus waste disposal, and recycling was the logical solution, he said. After doing a little research, Hedges wrote to Thomas Accto, vice president for Administration, about his concerns. In his letter. Hedges stated that since the per capita waste genera- tion in Maine is reaching three quarters of a ton per year, and since Governor John McKernan has called for a 25 percent state-wide waste reduction by 1995, the time is right for the university to take a serious look at instituting a formal recycling program for its paper waste. eft tion leaders laum issue drive • � «S Jk� w Education, itially slashed _ $31.8 million, only to au . - additional $5 million after the : ue was debated. -v fortunate last- ” Wood- iY e ;V.aftc to add0 an do 3. •oxned K — AUGUSTA (AP) —the states of education in Maine joined also were present.

Thus far, the University of Maine System Bond Issue has received significant en- dorsements from both Business and Labor and from both Democrats and Republicans because of the importance of the University System to the future of the State of Maine. In spite of some serious dif- ferences on some issues, some perceived setbacks for various campus interest groups, and perceived slow action on some identified problem areas, there are many very positive and ex- citing things happening to the University of Maine that have the potential of moving it from the excellent institution that it is today to an even better university. A favorable vote on the University Bond Issue can help this progress. We uge all of you in the University Community to join the bi-partisan spirit of support that we have seen exter- nal to the University and VOTE YES ON 6.

Donations from the public have financed their stay at the university, enabling them to live comfortably on “the hill” behind Hilltop Commons. No, Lowell and Burgpo are not students. The Maine Caribou Transplant Corporation brought Lowell, Burgeo and 25 other woodland caribou from Newfoundland to UMainc in December 1986 to establish a breeding herd and to rebuild a caribou population in Maine. A 1963 attempt to rebuild Maine’s caribou population was unsuccessful. The caribou released wandered around the woods of northern Maine and were shot illegally, according to an article in the Aug. 31, 1987 issue of The Daily Maine Campus. Mark McCollough, director of the project at UMaine, said he expected this attempt to be more successful than the 1963 attempt, because the nursery herd technique, used suc- cessfully in New Foundland, is being employed this time. The caribou brought from New- foundland will be kept as a breeding herd, he said. In the summer of 1989, McCollough said he hopes to release 25 of the calves born in 1987 and 1988 as yearlings and 2-year-olds. How does McCollough think the young caribou will fare in the wild? The breeding season for the caribou is in October, he said, but he won’t know how many calves to ex- pect until they arc actually born. Five of the 16 caribou calves bom at UMaine in the spring of 1987 and three of the 17 born last spring have died, but McCollough said the sur- vival rate for the animals has been higher here than it usually is in the wild. Fifty to 80 percent of all caribou calves born in the wild die within the first year of life, falling victim to disease, predators, or accidents, he said. Three of the calves born in 1987 died from bacterial infections, but an improved calving enclosure and veterinary care immediately after birth eliminated the problem last spring. One of the calves bom in 1988 died .shortly after birth, another died of gastrointestinal illness, and a third died from internal injuries after it was accidentally stepped on by its mother. The herd recently lost two adult female caribou. One died in April of liver cancer, and the other died in June from complications from pregnancy and birthing. “Since this is an experiment, it is very hard to predict. We need to know things like what parasites are present and how much food is available,” he said. “A good por- tion may perish the first year. It will be their first time in the wild. They will encounter predators —black bears, coyotes — they don’t have that problem here. They will have to find their own food. They’re used to peo- ple now, but they’ll have to learn to be afraid of them. ” Each caribou released will be wear- ing a radio collar so that it can be closely monitored, McCollough said. “We can track the caribou with these collars, and we can tell whether it’s alive or dead,” he said. “We want to know what happens to each animal. ” McCollough expects to release nearly 100 caribou between 1989 and 1992. The last group to be released will include the original herd. The number of caribou in the UMaine herd now totals 45, with more calves expected to be bom in the spring, McCollough said. 78 8 caribou moved to Baxter State Park B 3°°° £? hjJVfyck. quili thdrtl8 UseaTC n I • A ri£°'� 9b tb«lbet «§■ From staff and wire reports MILLINOCKET - Eight young caribou were trucked 100 miles to a secret spot in the Maine wilderness Tues- day to be released as biologists began the Final phase of the magnificent animal’s restoration. This is a dream come true for me, said Glenn H. Manuel, who sparked the effort in 1985 while he was state wildlife commissioner. The docile caribou was once Maine’s most abundant big-game animal, but unrestrained, commercial hunting, disease and development left it extinct in Maine by 1908. Manuel watched as caribou weighing up to 300 pounds were being lifted from a moving van and carried through melting snow to their new home under a spruce and fir canopy deep in the nor- thern Maine woods. ‘This means we are hopefully correcting a terrible wrong ... they’re a magnificent animal. ” The eight caribou were tranquilized, blindfolded and fitted with radio collars before they were lifted on specially-made canvas stretchers to the truck TUcsday. ,e of the ride was over unpav- J full of potholes as with one of animals. Tiffany Scratchcr, a young female caribou, began to hyperventilate after the trip, something those involved in the project had never seen before, McCollough said. Each individual animal responds dif- ferently to the tranquilizing drug,” he said. It’s never an easy business transporting animals. McCollough added that all of the animals were doing fine and that several people, including a veterinarian, would check on the animals during the night. Karol Worden, who tended the caribou in the truck during the ride, said she had to protect herself from the animals’ kicks as the drugs wore off. We tried to sit on as many as we could,” said Worden, a University of Maine wildlife management student who spends most of her time with a nyrsery herd” at UMainc. More than two dozen caribou that were to become the nucleus of Maine’s new herd were captured in New- foundland in 1986 and trucked 1,200 miles to Orono.

The grant will allow UMaine to work with the other univer- sities toward major geographic research. Harlan Onsrud, acting chair of the Department of Surveying Engineering, said he expects additional money from other federal agencies along with the money UMaine will receive from the grant. “The primary benefit of the designa- tion is the visablity that this official recognition brings among the interna- tional research community,” Onsrud said. Fritz Petersohn, former ILI president and a strong supporter of the UMaine System, presented a plaque to UMaine President Dale Lick at the meeting in Augusta. “In terms of major steps forward for the University of Maine, these two re- cent accomplishments by the surveying engineering department, along with others on campus, are among the most dramatic and potentially most impor- tant to the university’s long-term suc- cess,” Lick said. “These not only capture the imagination of what a great university is about, but also speak clear- ly to the relevance and quality of pro- grams and faculty at the university. ” Ufies to work with NASA t to facilitate NASA research ies and commer- iate professor of • : i former NASA .;e the proposal for Jj making equip- available to the '. v iversity, in turn, iewall Company and reseach. jtJ set is aimed at ies to process ' develop ways for it to be used ixw forest inventory and management,” he said.

Parker, a senior in electrical engineer- ing, says that the mechanical wave oc- curs both on the surface and in the bulk of the material. “It’s like an earthquake,” Parker explained, “where waves travel across the surface of the earth and in the earth itself. ” The part of the sensor that produces the miniature earthquake is the transducer. The transducer is made up of hundreds of aluminum fingers on the surface of the piezoelectric material. The aluminum fingers cause a voltage to occur in the material, and become the points at which electrical energy is con- verted to mechanical. There are two transducers in each microwave acoustic sensor, separated by a thin band of gas-sensitive material. A voltage, applied to the first transducer, is converted to a mechanical wave and travels through the gas- sensitive material to the second transducer. The second transducer picks up the mechanical wave and converts it back to an elecrical signal. When gas reacts with the thin film of gas-sensitive material, the changes in the properties of the material change the speed of the wave travelling through it. by Marcia Gauvin Staff Writer Shawn Kennedy uses an X-Ray I Photon Spectrometer to study t and thus changes the electrical sfro j picked up by the second transducer , t In other words, a change in eWy- p signal through the device indicato' .

The establishment of a Women’s Center was one of the 104 recommenda- tions included in the 1988 Risk Force Report on the Status of Women. in their report, the task force outlin- ed the existing inequalities between men and women at UMaine. According to the report, women facul- ty members are paid less on average than their male counterparts. The task force also found that there are fewer women in higher faculty and administative posi- tions at UMaine. The report also indicated that female students often fed discriminated against in the classroom. Sexist language in the classroom and in university publications, inadequate health care for women, and the lack of women in typically male-dominated fields of study were some of the other areas addressed by the task force.

Schonberger said women have the op- tion of using the center or not. Members of the task force held an open forum Ibesday in the Lynch Room at Fogler Library to solicit input from the university community before submit- ting a formal response to the administra- tion’s plan to rectify the existing ine- quities at UMaine.

At the start of the fall semester, the task force sent pamphlets to each student regarding UMaine’s policy on AIDS, or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. ’’The development of this policy represents leadership on behalf of the University of Maine, ” said Lockhart. “This leadership is providing AIDS education and it’s diminishing hysteria of AIDS in Maine. ” One area of the policy state- ment stated the AIDS problem has generated a ’’new form of discrimination. ” The policy is divided into three areas: a philosophy, general principles of the task force, and general guidelines. Lockhart said no student or faculty member at UMaine should be discriminated against because they have AIDS or test HIV-positive. HIV infections are the only forms of evidence of human immunodeficiency virus which can be located in the human body. “The work and mission of this community centers on its role as an educational institu- tion where all individuals will be treated equally and where discrimination will not be tolerated, ” the pamphlet states. ’’Consequently, community members who have [AIDS]...will not be discriminated against in any way, and their personal right of privacy will be respected.’’ Lockhart said this policy pro- vides recourse for legal action should any AIDS victims suffer discrimination. Students with AIDS shall be afforded the same unrestricted classroom at- tendance as other students, ac- cording to the policy. “We have a commitment to educate students through speakers, workshops and so on, ’’ she said, speaking for the university. Lockhart added that AIDS victims should keep themselves healthy and keep from passing the virus to others. As a re- quest, the university would like AIDS victims, or students who test positive for HIV, to report their condition to physicians so they may be educated further and warned of disease or virus outbreaks that could be severely harmful to them. The policy states, “The University will strongly en- courage all HIV-positive in- dividuals to accept medical and counseling assistance to become educated about AIDS.........’’ a K m mfsi at ,, _ irwiIlWf Jill, Patent Osfood — L- Sigma Chi recognized by national chapter woodwork on the second floe 1 —� � � ion of the fraternity’s 1 by Lisa Cline Staff Writer UMaine's Sigma Chi received two of the highest honors from the interna- tional fraternity at its annual Leadership Training Workshop held in August.

DC. — In a show of support for women’s rights to legal abortions, 44 people from the Univer- sity of Maine participated in the “March for Women’s Equali- ty Women’s Lives Sunday. Something that not many people realize is how drastically different our lives would be if women couldn’t get legal abortions, said' English graduate student Marcia Gauvin. Gaurin, along with Susan Hamlett, Debbie Stiles and Kathy Beaubicn, organized the UMainc delegation’s bus trip in conjunction with the Women’s Center. A number of UMaine students also traveled to the march on buses leav- ing from Bangor which were provid- ed by a local chapter of the National Organization for Women. More than 300,000 demonstrators representing all 50 states and several European countries gathered in Washington to show their support for the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which upheld a woman’s right to safe and legal abortion. A more conservative Supreme Court will consider a Missouri abor- tion case April 26 that could overturn or alter the Roc v. Wade decision. Caroline Austin, a full-time student at UMaine. said she went to the march because a lot of people are pro-choicc, and it’s important to show the Supreme Court that a lot of peo- ple will stand up for legalized abor- tion. Deb Bicase, an assistant producer at the Department of Public Affairs, said that abortion is a vital women's rights issue. It’s as important as keeping the environment clean. she said. I think it’s just a general right we should hast It's not really a question of being pro-abortion, but of being pro- choice. ’’ Robbi Buntcn, a full-time student and mother, said, As a mother, 1 feel that it's a decision (hat 1 should make, not someone else. ” Many marchers wore coat hangers to symbolize the unsanitary methods that were used by illegal abortionists before 1973. They chanted, Right to Life, it's a lie, you don’t care if women die,” and What do you want? Choice! When do you want it? Now! They held signs that said, Keep your laws off my body, and Pro- choicc does not mean pro- abortion. ’’ Buntcn said that the march show- ed how people from different backgrounds and economic classes can unify. “I know it made a difference,” she said. “It accomplished awareness and opened people’s eyes,” said Ethan Strimmling, a full-time student, It showed that there are people that favor choice and abortion.

Most were controversial, others were simply eye-opening. UMaine kept newspapers, television and radio stations busy during the year with the administra- tion's new policy of holding press conferences to release infor- mation. The following pages highlight coverage as seen through the eyes of the reporters at the Daily Maine Campus beginning with the issue of increased enrollment.

Schulze liter .an to reorganize the University of ;’s seven colleges which met with ty opposition last semester is cur- y being phased in under the scrutiny he board of trustees and should be place by July. ne reorganization proposal was sed unanimously and unconditional- by the UMainc System board of ustees at its May meeting. But «ccording to Kent Price, assistant to the hancellor, individual trustees voiced several concerns during that meeting. The trustees’ concerns centered on establishing an elected body that would set degree requirements within the Col- lege of Arts and Sciences — divided in- to three smaller colleges under the plan — the cost of the reorganization, and the treatment of undecided majors in the divided college. In response to trustees’ concerns, the three newly-formed colleges within the divided College Arts and Sciences will elect members to the Assembly of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, which was established to set the requirements ot the bachelor of arts degree. Undecided majors also will see a change under the reorganization. ‘‘Undecided majors will be put into a new category which will give them a new flexibility — not just being in Arts and Sciences,” said UMaine President Dale Lick. Until July, when a new central office will funnel undecided majors into specific programs, those students will be handled in the same way as they have been previously — they will take arts and science classes until they decide on a major, said Barbara Barton, a member of the reorganization committee. Lick said undecided majors changing from the old system to the new system will have the option of continuing under the guidelines of either one. The issue of undecided majors, a ma- jor concern, is not the only one that is being worked on by Academic Affairs Vice President John Hitt, represen- tatives of each college, and acting dean of Arts and Sciences Julia Watkins. ‘‘They are working on curricular, per- sonnel and budget issues.” Lick said. According to Hitt, the cost for the whole reorganization is an estimated $75,399, which includes the salaries of new deans. But this estimate could increase up to $100,000, which is more than the cost of the old system, Lick said. “Hopefully we can salvage money from other sources where we won’t hurt anyone,” he said. The money to finance this reorganiza- tion, Lick said, will be generated from internal university sources, including combining several old positions into one new one. “About 13 to 14 positions will come from (Arts and Sciences) Dean Gemignani’s old office, he said. Most new positions will be created from old positions. ” Assistant Chancellor Price said the costs of the reorganization will be monitored to satisfy the concerns of the board of trustees. The monitoring will probably occur through periodic reports to the board, Price said. The reorganization should be re- evaluated one year after its implemen- tation, ” he said. 9 i Enrollment up by 10 percent by Doug Vanderweide Staff Writer Enrollment at the University of Maine has hit an all-time high, and, for the first time in the history of the university, more women arc attending than men. UMaine President Dale Lick announced Monday that the University’s student population has reached 12,282, an increase of 1,191 students, or 10.7 per- cent, over last year. Of these students, 6,180, or 50.3 percent, are women. The university had more ap- plicants for admission and more freshman students admit- ted this year than ever before. There are 408 more students in this year's class compared to last year. Lick said that the increase in students has not compron-;-_ UMaine’s adn� 5—' “We have continued to maintain ... as high a standard or higher standards than we’ve had in the past,” he said. Lick added that the universi- ty will continue to raise these standards over the next several years. However, Lick admitted that the average SAT scores of this year’s freshmen is lower than last year. It’s down, and it’s down a fair amount, he said. “What we have is a large group of students just below our average SAT score. It’s a large group, and thay are the ones who have brought the average down. ” This year's average freshman SAT score is 965, down 20 points from last year. Lick caJI capable of attending college. He pointed out that different col- leges have different minimum SAT scores for admission, and be should the most important factor for being admitted to UMaine was a student's high school performance. “If a student does well in high school, and their SAT scores are above the minimums for the various colleges, then there’s no problem,” he said. If a student is borderline, then we look at other factors. Lick said that one option included sending less prepared students to the University College in Bangor.

J do 0 92 Alcohol banned from tailgating Saturday by Tammy Hartford Staff Writer No alcohol will be allowed in the tailgating area at the University of Maine this weekend, the university's tailgating committee has decided. The committee is reviewing its policies to determine whether alcohol will be allowed at future games, said Robert Dana, substance abuse consultant and chair of the tailgating committee. “We had a number of problems at the Homecoming tailgating party, and we haven’t worked them all out,” Dana said. “We need to determine the best course of action to take.” The committee set nine guidelines to try to control problems at Homecoming and agreed to review its policies if the guidelines failed to con- trol the problems, Dana said. The guidelines were primarily designed to control the distribution and consumption of alcohol in the tailgating area to provide a fami- ly kind of environment,” he said. We wanted that to be the focus and alcohol to be secondary. ” He said there were complaints by alumni and students about the tailgating at Homecoming. “There was a phenomenal amount of drink- ing at Homecoming,” Dana said. “We were unable to clear the tailgating area at halftime. Many people there bad no intention of going to the football game, and it turned into a very large party.” UMaine Police Chief Alan Reynolds said he is not anticipating any problems enforcing the alcohol ban this weekend. “We will be advising people of the Maine state laws against drinking in public, he said. “We are hoping people will cooperate with us 100 per- cent, but if they don’t they will probably be ar- rested. and they'll have to go to court and pay a fine. ’’ Reynolds explained that drinking in the tailgating area when the committee’s policy allowed it was not a violation of the law. Because UMaine is a state institution, under state liquor laws university officials are permit- ted to establish an area where alcohol is allow- ed, Reynolds said. “When we did that, it was like establishing a club, ” he said. But we’re not going to have that any longer, and drinking in the tailgating area will be illegal. “Some people aren’t going to like it, but we hope they understand our position, ” Reynolds said. “We’re here to enforce the laws. ” The fine for violating public drinking laws ranges from S50 to $500 and is completely up to a judge’s discretion, according to an assistant clerk at the Bangor District Court. Saturday's football game will be the last of the season, and Dana said the policy of banning alcohol at tailgating would not necessarily con- tinue into next season. Publisher takes UMaine ft Guy Gannett Co. seeking information on coach’s f by Joe Grant and Mike Laberge Staff Writers Guy Gannett Publishing Co., seeking records pertaining to the resignation of former University of Maine women’s basketball coach Peter Gavett, has fil- ed suit against UMaine for the release of certain documents. We are trying to obtain from the university what we feel are public records dealing with the resignation of Peter Gavett,” said John K. Murphy, executive editor of Guy Gannett Co.’s Portland newspapers. “We asked the university to provide us that information under the Freedom of Information Act,” Murphy said. “The university replied that it didn’t believe it had any such material and if it did it would be confidential. ” UMaine President Dale Lick said Guy Gannett Co. “thinks everything in Mr. Gavett’s file should be available and we think most things should be available. “Some things are sacred,” Lick said. Guy Gannett Publishing Co. prints several newspapers in Maine, including the Portland Press Herald and Maine Sunday Telegram. On July 5, Murphy sent a letter to Lick that stated, “Pursuant to Maine’s freedom of access law, we are seeking access to any final written disciplinary decision dealing with Coach Gavett’s departure from the UMaine coaching staff.” We have been dealing with this issue for three months now in correspondence with President Lick, myself, our lawyers and the university’s lawyers, ” Murphy said. The suit was filed in Portland Superior Court on Aug. 25, and a pro- bable cause hearing is scheduled for Oct. 12 in Portland. “We arc not seeking anything that is properly confidential,” Murphy said. “We don’t want to look into his per- sonal file.” The controversy between the two par- ties centers on what belongs in the per- sonal file of Gavett and what should be available to the public. Ultimately the judge will decide if what we are seeking exists and if it is public information,” Murphy said.

Gavett will release and discharge UMaine from any and ai demands, claims or actions of every nature which he his heirs or assigns may havo against the university. • Gavett will vacate his office at UMaine and remove all his belongings from the UMaine campos by July 5. 1988. • The resignation shall • be effective at 5 pro on ' -A JW .dir'-a ir o court signation oo much the past 4' i years to just turn i iway.

A 10-day stay was put on a docu- ment that was deemed a public record at the Portland Superior Court last week and neither the university nor the counsel, who represents former women’s basketball coach Peter Gavett and the Maine Teacher’s Association, have filed an appeal. Any appeal in the case must be fil- ed by Monday. I was disappointed with the deci- sion. 1 thought the case fit the law as we interpreted it,” Lick said. According to Lick, the University has three options in the continuation of the case. ”We could simply not appeal, join in the appeal or appeal independent- ly,” he said. Howard T. Reben, the attorney representing Gavett and the Maine Teachers Association, said after last Thursday’s decision that there would “definitely be an appeal” but as of yesterday, he had not filed one. ac- cording to officials at the Portland Superior Court. Lick said that if the university did not appeal, it would be indirectly represented in any appeal filed by Reben, but also said the importance of this decision goes further than the release the of one remaining document. I think the two panics involved have a legitimate difference of opi- nion, Lick said, “but the question is ‘Is it fair to have all private person- nel matters in the newspapers?’” “The decision is important because it will determine what personnel files T __ 1 are public and what are private,” Lick said. Lick went on to say, “It’s a mat- ter of principle. Where do we draw the line? Is anything sacred? Is anything private?” Although he wasn't asked to take the stand. Lick was subpoenaed for the hearing last week because the file in question was in his possession. In the situation which Lick con- siders “a personnel matter that should be private”, he said that the public and Gannett should be content if the court decides to declare the document private in the appeal. “If it (the document) is not releas- ed, it was handled properly,” he said Gannett brought suit against the university in late August after Lick denied Gannett executive editor John K. Murphy’s request for information regarding Gavett’s resignation last summer. 95 President’s Discretionary Money spent on everything from dinner for hockey team to music (c) Copyright 1988 The Daily Maine Campus This is the first article in a four-part series about President Lick’s discre- tionary fund. by Jan Vertefeuilk Staff Writer President Dale Lick spent more than $250,000 from his discretionary fund in fiscal year 1988 on projects ranging from scholarships for music majors to a dinner for the hockey team. The University of Maine President’s Discretionary Account, the main discre- tionary fund Lick has available for his use, received donations of almost a quarter million dollars in fiscal year 1988. The fiscal year ran from July 1, 1987, to June 30, 1988. A total of $224,750 was donated to the fund, which consists of gifts and proceeds from gifts the president may use for one-time projects he believes should be funded but that cannot be funded by other means. More than $250,000 was paid out of the fund in fiscal year 1988, with payments ranging from $4.27 for pens to $10,000 for a Canadian-American Center faculty exchange. The fund is an on-going account, and money not spent one year is added to the next year’s account, which explains how I irk rnnlH nmd morr than hr receiv- Peter Gavett and scholarship money for basketball player Victoria Watras came from this fund.

President controls $500,000 in funds This is the second article in a four-part series about President Lick‘s discretionary funds. by Cynthia Beckwith Staff Writer This year. President Dale Lick controls discretionary funds containing more than a half million dollars, with few restrictions attached. Lick has discretion over eight individual funds — including his general President’s Discre- tionary Account — which in the past have helped fund building renovations, athletic scholar- ships and student programs. Two of these funds have educational restrictions, while the remaining six have no restrictions. The Palmer Account, which has recently been a source of controversy within the univer- sity community, is one of the eight discretionary funds. The Palmer Account in- cludes money received from the sale of pre-Columbian artifacts bequeathed to the university by the late William Palmer in 1982. Palmer’s will stated that the artifacts donated to the university should be sold at the president’s discretion. A little more than one million dollars worth of the artifacts was sold before Lick became president, $900,000 of which went toward construction of the Maine Center for the Arts, said Robert Holmes, vice presi- dent for University Develop- ment. About $163,000 was spent on athletic scholarships Palmer’s will had specified. Holmes said. There is currently $41 in the account, Holmes said. He said Lick has spent S44.000 while he has been president, all of which has gone to academic departments There is slightly less than $250,000 (worth of remaining artifacts being sold) that is in the hands of the dealers, ” he said. Holmes said it is impossi- ble to tell when these artifacts will be sold. Lick has indicated that $50,000 of the money from these artifacts will help fund a lounge in a baseball clubhouse under construction. The President’s Discre- tionary Account, Lick’s main fund, usually receives dona- tions of between $200,000 and $300,000 a year, which can be spent as the president wishes. The Bird and Bird General Account generates approx- imately $20,000 a year and cur- rently has $40,000 available. The money, Lick said, can be usetf only for educational purposes.

Lick said because the athletic budget “was committed to the hilt” the athletic department couldn’t cover the costs of the rings. “There is pretty much a standard policy (at UMaine) to give some ap- propriate recognition to somebody who wins some kind of a championship,” Lick slid. The University of Maine football team won a share of the Yankee Con- ference championship last season. This propelled them into the playoffs against Georgia Southern College, Lick’s old school. He said the football team’s ap- pearance in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs added strain to the athletic budget. “It’s not like a Division I school where you might get $750,000 for play- ing in a bowl game. We obviously want our teams to do well but in this case it costs us money,” Lick said. “It was up to me to either buy the rings or they overspend the athletic budget.” He said there were two different styles of rings to choose from but said he “opted for the less expensive one.” Lick said he knows the expense may bring him some criticism from people complaining that he is just giving more support to athletics. “Some people may criticize me for that but this is something I’d do for anyone (on campus) who had represented us well. I’d do this for the band. 1 just try to respond to specific needs..., “ he said. “Athletics are more likely to have the type of competi- tion. ” m II j mf s'JfjlSwWwwi ________________________________ Fee funds stinted, Cutler director says By Steven Pappas Staff Writer Cutler Health Center, a reci- pient of student life fee money, is not receiving adequate fun- ding to maintain effective medical help at the University of Maine, the center’s director says. My budget is non-moving; there is no flexibility, said Dr. Roberta Berrien. “I can’t get any additional money. With the health center only breaking even using student life fee money and her own budget, Berrien has had to yell loud to get something to hap- pen,” she said. My office is struggling.” The health center has a total budget of about Si.3 million, which includes Berrien’s budget of $877,000 and S599.000 from the student life fee, also known as the comprehensive fee Berrien said � u receives $150,000, which can be spent within the course of the year. But the health center must make that money back through pharmacy and lab services. Last year. Cutler made $30,000 in additional funds from the $150,000, which the university took back. I had to ask to have the money back, Berrien said. 1 don’t know why I couldn’t use it. One problem, Berrien said, is that she must cut through red tape to get the additional funds. I’d like to hire a nutritionist, but 1 can’t get the money,” she said. “There isn't a day that goes by that a young woman doesn’t come through the door asking about eating disorders. But how can you get money for something that previo� -'’ didn’t exist? though, say money is tight for all departments this year, not just the health center. Dwight Rideout, dean of Student Services, said other departments on campus have asked for the same increases in funding as the health center. (Berrien) could use more money, and I’d like to see her have more, but other depart- ments on campus ask for the same and get the same result, he said. “Dr. Berrien is provided with a budget as is every other department on cam- pus. She’s given a fair chance to give her pitch in getting resources. ” According to Charles Rauch, UMaine’s financial man� the health cent� no to students’ parents Action comes despite officials’ efforts to restore 24-hour service at Cutler by Lisa Cline Staff Writer The General Student Senate will go ahead with plans to send letters to parents of University of Maine students concerning the reduction of health care services at Cutler Health Center despite administrative attempts to resolve the situation. The letters will be mailed this week, said Tamara Davis, student government president. Davis said that despite the efforts of the administration to resolve the situa- tion, action still hasn’t been taken.” She said the senate understands that the administration is doing wnat it can to re-open full-time service.” But she said, the more attention given (to the issue), the quicker the response. ” Cutler Health Center has been without 24-hour service since the resignation of seven nurses last summer. Off-campus senator Gary Fogg told the senate Tuesday night, It’s a serious problem and the administration hasn’t solved it. We’re really p.o.’d about this one. It’s time to draw the line. ” Fogg directed his remarks to Dwight Rideout, assistant vice president and dean of Student Services, who was pre- sent at Tuesday’s senate meeting to ad- dress student concerns and outline the administration's plan of action. Rideout said he realizes that “students are frustrated that the ad- ministration has not been able to act more quickly. Rideout also said he understands the senate's concern with drawing attention to the issue. It's important that students go on record and make their concerns known to all of us — faculty, staff, as well as the parents, ’’ he said. I have no pro- blem with a plan to make sure the ad- ministration acts with just as much pro- mptness that it can muster. ” Davis, the student government presi- dent. read a letter from John Halstead, vice president for Student Affairs, that detailed steps the administration has taken to restore 24hour service. Halstead's letter was in response to a letter the GSS sent to UMaine President Dale Lick on Oct. 25 regarding the reduction ol health care services at the health center. In the letter, Halstead states. The quality and comprehensive nature of this care arc of the utmost impor- tance. ” Halstead then details steps the university has taken to resume fulltime service at Cutler Health Center. The letter states that a full-time clinical coordinator of nursing began work on Oct 31. She will work directly with the direc- tor of Cutler Health Center, Dr. Rober- ta Bernen. and with the nursing staff to redesign and implement a recruitment plan for additional nurses. A consultant has also been hired to assist with issues related to organiza tional effectiveness, administratis communication and nursing tice, according to the letter. mmmmmammmmm mmmm mmm Cutler director quits Roberta Berrien’s resignation surprises staff by Doris Rygalski Staff Writer Dr. Roberta Berrien, director of Cutler Health Center, announced her resignation at a staff meeting Thurs- day morning. Berrien was not available for com- ment, but health center staff said she gave no reasons for her resignation. “1 was surprised,” said Betsy Allin, associate director of Cutler. “It was literally a 10 second an- nouncement. ” Dwight Rideout, dean of Student Services, said he had known about the resignation beforehand. “It was mutually agreed upon by Dr. Berrien and the administra- tion,” he said. She felt her resignation would be in everyone’s best interest.” However. Berrien will be staying on as a consulting physician until June 30 with no decrease in salary. Rideout said. Rideout expects to meet with Ber- rien within the next few days to discuss the details of her announce- ment but could not say more” about her reactions. Rideout did say he and John Halstead, vice president for Student Affairs, will be meeting on Monday with Cutler staff, students and other individuals involved with Cutler to discuss the resignation. The topics to be covered at the meeting will include the finding of an interim director and a new director. Since being hired in June 1987, Berrien has had a number of pro- blems with staff that led to the resignations of several nurses who claimed the center was replacing registered nurses with less qualified personnel. As a result. Cutler hours were cut back, invoking a demonstration of concerned students. This year has been difficult for a number of reasons,” Rideout said, But I think Dr. Berrien is a fine physician. I will miss working with her. Margaret Nagle, an information specialist from the Department of Public Affairs, said the resignation will be effective Monday.

He said that on Monday mornings he would receive complaints about the previous weekend.

Although potentially dangerous situations involving pledges have occurred in the past, Turner said, fraternity and sorority members were responsible enough to step in and put an end to them. There have been certain situations for potential harm and they were stopped,” he said. It’s never gotten out of hand like this before. Debbie Dutton, president of Chi Omega sorority, said initia- tion ceremonies can be mean- ingful if they are handled responsibly. “There are many ceremonies that can be beautiful, but they can get out of hand,” she said. That’s what happened to Alpha Chi Omega. I think they missed their goals, policies and perspectives. ” Both Dutton and Turner said the pledge process is intended to bring sorority and fraternity members closer together, not to alienate the pledges. The two were interviewed by a local television station and The Daily Maine Campus Wednesday, a day after univer- sity officials announced at a press conference tha� Chi Omega was no longer an official UMaine sorority. Dutton said Inspiration Week, during which pledges learn the mot- tos and secrets of the sororities, is a chance for the women to become familiar with UMaine sororities. University officials are still in- vestigating the Sept. 25 incident in which 16 Alpha Chi Omega pledges were blindfolded and taken to Mount Hope Cemetery in Bangor.

The only charge against Beta that has been proven and ad- mitted to by the fraternity, Martin said, is the holding of a late-night scavenger hunt which required pledges to retrieve various items such as road large American flag. He said that allegations regarding incidents of having have been repeatedly denied by members of the fraternity. It has been alleged that pledges were forced to stare directly at lightbulbs and sit in tubs of cold water and debris. On Friday, three members of the fraternity pleaded innocent District Court in Bangor. William Stewart. 22. of Med- ficld.

Greek suspensions not a crackdown, officials say by Steven Pappas Staff Writer The recent suspension of two frater- nities and a sorority at the University of Maine are not part of a “crack-down on the Greek system, university ad- ministrators said recently. “(The suspensions) are vigilant, yes. but we are not going out of our way to get (Greeks),” Dwight Rideout associate vice president of Student Af- fairs said. In 1988, Alpha Chi Omega sorority and Beta Theta Pi and Delta Upsilon fraternities were suspended for their in- volvement in hazing incidents. Also, during a December raid on the Beta house, university police confiscated drugs and stolen goods. Information leading to the suspension of each organization was given to university administrators by people in the community or within the Greek system. The administrators said they were not looking for reasons to suspend the organizations. “It wasn’t like we were sitting around saying ‘I don’t like this frat, I think we ought to bust it,’ Rideout said. “We didn’t know these incidents were taking place. ” But members of Beta Theta Pi disagree. Beta members said they believed they were being “suspended for a scavenger hunt” and that the administration was “definitely cracking down” on Greeks. Michael Caron, a member of Beta, said he did not know whether the actions taken by the administration were “good or bad. But he said he believes the administration “is trying to improve their public image by enforcing stricter regulation on the Greeks. ” Caron said Residential Life parties and live-in advisers were a few tactics of administrative infiltration toward a “crack-down. “They are cutting their own throats, though,” former Beta president John O’Leary said. He said if the administra- tion “eased up a little” people wouldn’t have “to go across the river to Orono to drink and than have to drive back. And we know what happens then.” Beta, DU and Alpha Chi Omega are only a small percentage of the Greek system and university community. Caron questioned the justification of administering regulation on certain Greeks instead of the entire university community. Rideout admits the administration is not ignorant to what is taking place within the Greek system. “We know things arc going on, wc just don’t know which houses it’s happening in. ” William Lucy, associate dean of Stu- dent Services said administrators arc aware minors are drinking alcohol and abusing drugs. But. administrators say they arc also aware that substance abuse takes place in dormitories and off- campus housing. “We know these things are going to happen,” he said. The ramifications of these suspen- sions could have given the university a “black eye,” officials said, but the result has strengthened the system. Lucy said the suspensions are a healing process within the Greek system. He said although the in- cidents were painful to certain organizations, the organizations will heal and become stronger. Rideout said what happened this year within the Greek system has “helped to strengthen the system” and forced Greeks to be more responsible. But the fines for “acting up are increasing, Lucy said. He said society is building norms and creating laws through legislation which directly affect how fraternities and sororities act. “It is risk management and not trying things that could be potential- ly dangerous, ” Lucy said. He said the negative media coverage the Greeks have received during the past year has changed the essence of the system.” Education is the key to self- regulation, Lucy said. “The best way to inform everyone is through useful education,” Lucy said. “Greeks arc responsible people and they are the future. ” Ca ri. i� ce Ki a WC: zee: v.k.

Justice Eugene W. Beaulieu granted a motion freezing S200.000 of Pangburn’s assets and ap- pointing a trustee over his accounts pending the out- come of a civil suit UMaine has filed against him. Beaulieu’s decision stated, in part, “The court finds that there is a reasonable likelihood that in this action the plaintiff will recover judgment, including interest and costs, in an amount equal to or greater than S200.000. ” Pangburn was fired from his job as coordinator of operations for Residential Life on Wednesday, two days after the university fil- ed the suit against him to egajn hejnone£ _ I have never taken...any money from the university. Paul Pangburn The suit alleges Pangburn took the money over a five year period from a petty cash fund used to reimburse students who paid for meals after losing or forgetting their meal cards. Beaulieu’s decision followed a brief hearing in the morning where both sides in the case filed affidavits. 3 employees fired for ‘improprieties’ by Doug Kesseli Staff Writer Three University of Maine employees were fired Friday for “improprieties” discovered during a routine audit of the Residential Life dining services department, university officials said. David Botto, Memorial Union dining service manager, and two assistant service managers, Ed Hayward and Karen Lebel, were fired Friday afternoon, said Margaret Nagle, director of Public Information. Botto and Lebel had been employed by the university since early last fall, and Hayward was hired in •a:iua:v. ■ ouices at the university vj. t the three allegedly stole small amounts of money and some food or drink. Richard Hayden. UMaine System counsel, said he did not know whether further action would be taken against the three. Scott Anchors, director of Residential Life, said the three who were fired com- posed three-fourths of the professional dining staff in the union. imxu _ “It was a significant reduc- tion of staff,” Anchors said. The UMaine System Department of Internal Audits had been evaluating the Memorial Union when it discovered the alleged theft. Anchors said. The audits are made to insure “the cash- handling processes are being handled properly, and'oc- cur every one to two years throughout the UMaine System, he said. Nagle said thislncidcnt is unrelated to last October’s dismissal of Paul Pangburn. former ResLife coordinator of operations, for allegedly embezzling $200,(XX) from petty cash over a five-year period. The Pangburn case is still under pre-trial procedures. Anchors said John Rcbstock, director of Univer- sity Dining Service, has been working with managers in the dining commons, setting up the coverage of the three vacant positions until new people can be hired. Further information about Friday’s dismissals may be made available this week, Nagle said. M ill! Task force finds women in lesser roles at UMaine by Cynthia Beckwith Staff Writer Many women at the univer- sity find themselves in inferior roles in both the workplace and the classroom, according to a report that has received much attention since its release last month. The Task Force on the Status of Women studied the roles of females at the university for more than six months. The group concluded that the university parallels society when it comes to the treatment of women, said Marisue Picker- ing, executive assistant to UMaine President Dale Lick. Women faculty at the univer- sity arc paid less on the average than their male counterparts and there are considerably fewer women in higher faculty and administrative positions ac- cording to the Task Force report. Ihe Task Force was ap- pointed by President Lick on Dec. 2. 1987. The president was concerned that women were be- ing treated unfairly in many situations and he wished to document the facts so that changes could be made, Picker- ing said. When Lick began searching for vice presidents last year, he was determined to fill at least one of the four vacancies with a female, Pickering said. But for various reasons he was not able to. This may be one of the reasons he wanted to make the problems surrounding women in today’s society more noticeable to the university community, she said. The pay discrepancy is an issue that is extremely com- plicated, said Sharon Jackiw, chair of the Task Force. She ex- plained that many women ac- cept lower salaries when negotiating a contract. “Women are less likely than men to insist upon a higher salary,” Jackiw said. The Task Force held several open forums last semester which brought out several distressing stories. The Task Force report cites stories of students heckling a student who announced the open forums in class. In addition, the report stresses the problem of date rape on campus and recommends that students be made more aware of the problem. According to Pickering, awareness is one thing the Task Force report is achieving. “The report raises the awareness of issues of value and what the status quo has been. The normative way of doing things tends to make it harder for women, Pickering said. Jackiw said she has also noticed a great interest in the report. She said she has been approached by many people of the university community who are in- terested in reading the report and understanding how the information was collected. Both Pickering and Jackiw hope that the report generates many changes at the university. “Anything (that implies inequities) has got to change. said Jackiw. Lick responds to task force report Changing attitudes is key to solving problem of unequal treatment of women at University of Maine, president says by Lisa Cline Staff Writer University of Maine Presi- dent Dale Lick said changing people’s attitudes is the first step toward solving the problem of unequal treatment of women on campus. Lick, responding to the Report of the Task Force on the Sutus of Woman, said one of the report’s main objectives was to make people aware of the problem. “Our success (will be) based on changing attitudes, he said. “If we cannot change at- titudes, we will fail. Suzanne Estler, director of Equal Opportunity and a member of the task force, agreed that changing people's attitudes is important. “You can make people follow the letter of the law, but that doesn’t always lead to change, ” Estler said. Change comes about through education and awareness, she said. Lick said he is “amazed at the lack of awareness at how women are treated at the univer- sity and in society. ” According to the 1988 Task Force Report on the Status of Women, women faculty members arc paid less on average than their male counter- parts. The task force also found that there are considerably fewer women in higher faculty and administrative positions at UMaine. Also, the report indicated that female students often feel discriminated in the classroom. The task force was appointed by President Lick in 1987 to study the treatment of women on campus. The 104 recommendations included in the first draft of the implementation plan are designed to rectify the existing inequities at the university. Lick - said. Many of the recommenda- tions regard the sponsoring of programs and workshops designed to educate the univer- sity community about the rights of women. For example, a workshop on non sexist language and sexual harassment sponsored by the Women in the Curriculum and the Office of Equal Opportuni- ty is already being offered and will be offered again in the future. The plan also provides for the hiring of women to fill the next available positions of vice presi- dent and dean. Currently, there are no female vice presidents employed at the university and just one female dean. The establishment of two ad- minstrative internships for women, and the development of a men- tor system for female employees are also recommended. These recommendations. Lick said, reflect the university’s commitment to creating an environment with female role models. Also recommended is the establish- ment of a professional staff salary structure. The proposed structure would include an equitable job evaluation and descrip- tion of system, an updating of job descriptions, and the correction of pay inequities. According to Samuel D’Amico, associate vice chancellor for Human Resources, the UMaine System and the Maine Professional Staff Association are addressing this recommendation. Last fall, D’Amico said, the UMaine System was given S2.7 million by the Maine Legislature to correct the pay in- equities of classified employees, such as clerical workers and custodial staff. Other issues addressed in the plan in- clude the expansion of women’s health and child care services, the recruitment of women students into traditionally male-dominated areas of study, and the implementation of programs to promote the development of leadership skills -among wetHW Lick said the recommendations in- cluded in the Implementation Plan are designed to generate feedback from the university community before a final plan is drafted. Evelyn Newlyn, director of the Women in the Curriculum Program and a member of the task force, said she was pleased with the “spirit of the univer- sity’s response. Newlyn said the fact that Lick ad- dressed every recommendation of the task force report demonstrates an understanding of the problem and a long term commitment to solving it. Overall. Estler said she was pleased with the recommendations but said she thinks some areas should be looked in- to further. For example, she said she would like the report to be more specific about the funding for some of the proposed programs. Lick said funding for the programs will be provided through the university’s regular budget as well as through private sources. He said the university has not yet determined how how much it will cost to implement the programs. For now, he said, the university is primarily concerned with creating the foundation for change. si 1 h . y ' ta x ( i� . ! VM 108 Artifacts Stored in museum while officials consider options by Steven Pappas Staff Writer Part of a set of pre-Columbian artifacts that was to be sold to help pay for a baseball clubhouse remains in storage while University of Maine officials consider their options. Officials at Sotheby's, the New York firm that had been approached last summer about auction- ing off the artifacts, claim they have heard little from UMainc officials about the pending sale. In fact, the officials denied any knowledge of the sale, which allegedly would take place in the spring of 1989, but did admit that a representative of Sotheby's appraised the collection last summer. UMainc officials confirmed that visit. The university had preliminary discussions with Sotheby’s this summer to explore the possiblity of an auction, but no final decisions have been made, said Margaret Nagle, news director of the UMainc public information office. V4K i mm Artifacts are worth more than lounge —To the editor: 1 have sat by and watched President Lick squash numerous student outcries to his policies, but his selling of Pre-Columbian art is too much to swallow. It is time to draw the line and put education back ahead of sports. President Lick is selling the remnants of our historical past in order to build a baseball lounge. The question is. who will this lounge benefit? Lick will be glad to point out that it is open to the public, but in the end, who will really use it; the coaches, the players. President Lick, alumni being courted to make sizeable contributions to sports programs. Is this worth selling off our historical past? In my mind, no! I'm sure President Lick will be glad to point out that most of the vulnerable pieces are not being sold. The point is we can- not afford to lose any of our precious past. I know I’d rather take my children to see a com- plete collection of historical ar- tifacts than to a smelly baseball lounge. Lick points out that his predecessors have already sold SI million worth of artifacts. Docs this make it right for him to continue on with the policies? The answer is no! We now come to the wishes of Mr. Palmer the donator of the artifacts. Lick points out that Palmer primary interest was baseball. With the size of the historical collection I would say his primary interest was col- lecting artifacts and giving them to his alma mater so all could enjoy them. If I were Mr. Palmer I would be rolling over in my grave. If we don’t speak out now. what happens when Lick tries to trade the rest of the artifacts in for a football stadium? If that day ever comes, a real crime to history will have been committed. The point is. Lick has lost sight of the real purpose of the University of Maine, EDUCA- TION. We can learn far more from those artifacts than we ever will from a baseball lounge. Tad Hackett Androscoggin Hall t. President Editor’s note: The following letter to Chancellor Robert Woodbury from President Dole Lick is printed as an open let- ter to the university community. Dear Bob: The purpose of this letter is to respond to your request for specific information relative to the sale of precolumbian art “for athletic purposes. Here are facts surrounding this matter: 1. Mr. Palmer is probably the largest financial supporter in the history of the University of Maine. His contribution in terms of estimated value, pro- bably range between S3.5 and SS million. He was an alumnus of the University of Maine and was very much committed to the university. His overall com- mitment was to the University in total, and, while living, his personal interest went primari- ly to the athletic program, par- ticularly baseball. In fact, his leadership and fundraising ef- forts on our behalf probably were the key ingredient in terms of making the Univerisity of Maine's baseball team the best in the northeast. He helped to raise the money to support the two week spring trip to Florid� for early competition before the teams could play baseball in the northeast. This gave us a decid- ed advantage, since we came back from Florida with many games under our belt ready to take on anyone. 2. When Mr. Palmer d:ed his collection came to the Univer- sity of Maine. He was not a natural collector, but apparent- ly his collection was part of hs investment program, and so- meone developed an outstan- ding collection for him with his r •jgtJiO — w[i0 IT ® . .intuti ri |iitaC eb I a . fts 1 rns esefJLiC: i.qbuii £ intatofc ri'hseCaar tinier cenneek lhariC «riuroa Va leattajp 5? ' . ra Df Lick’s view on the selling of artifacts purchases. At the time of his death, the Palmer collection was valued around S4 million on the retail market. His will specified that the university would sell the pieces from the collection over a seven year period of time with the money going to the president for his distribution in support of university efforts. 3. The sale of items from the Palmer Collection began in 1982 and continued until I came to the university in 1986. Dur- ing this period of time, slightly over a million dollars of items had been sold from the collec- tion. The bulk of this money, nearly $1 million, was invested in the Maine Center for the Arts building. 4. When I arrived in September of 1986, it did not take long for me to appreciate that we had one of the best col- lections of its type in America in the Palmer Collection. As a result of this belief, we con- tacted attorneys involved with Mr. Palmer's will and asked whether or not we could keep, rather than sell, part of all of the collection. After their deliberations, they concurred that we could keep any or all of the collection that we chose to make as part of a permanent collection at the university. It was my understanding that they interpreted this as being com- parable to selling the collection to ourselves. 5. I asked that the collection be evaluated and items in the collection be placed into one of three categories. Dr. Richard Emerick, the director of the Hudson Museum, who was the responsible professional for the Palmer Collection, did an evaluation of the collection and placed items into three categories of the following type: must not sell, should not sell, and sell. The meaning of these three categories basically was that in the first grouping, these items were core to a significant prc-columbian col- lection. In the second category basically were items that would enhance substantially the pre- columbian collection. In the third category essentially were items that would not significantly enhance the collec- tion. Dr. Emerick presently estimates the value of these three categories to be SI.5 million, one half million dollars, two hundred thousand to two hundred fifty thousand dollars. That is. the bulk of the collection, approximately S2 million worth, is contained in the first two categories and on- ly a much smaller amount is in the latter category. Guest Column by Dale W. Lick 6. It was my decision that we would not sell items from either category one or category two, but only allow sales from category three. Since I have been at the University of Maine, I have not put any items in the hands of our sales representatives. The only items that have been up for sale are those that were up for sale when I arrived at the universi- ty. All items from categories one and two have been remov- ed from potential sale or will be immediately. Part of the items from category three arc presently on the market, and under the present cir- cumstances, will remain on the market for sale. 7. From time to time art ob- jects are given to the university for the expressed purpose of selling them through the univer- sity. This a standard approach and is often done to benefit both the donor and the univer- sity. However, unless art ob- jects are given for the express purpose of sale, my policy is and will continue to be that I will not sell any art objects owned by the university that have significance in our collec- tion. We are in the business to build a high quality significant quantity collection of artwork and we do no desire to sell anything that adds significant- ly to this collection. During the last two years we have had re- quests to purchase some of our artwork (other than that in the Palmer Collection). To each such request we have explained that we do not sell our artwork and have refused to do so. 8. Over the last two years 1 have been searching for a way to appropriately honor Mr. Palmer relative to his primary interest in the university, baseball. Until recently, I was not successful in finding something that I felt was ap- propriate. With the decision to allow Mr. Mahaney to take responsibility for building a baseball clubhouse, we iden- tified a way that seemed ap- propriate and practical. The clubhouse will have three areas, a locker room, offices for the coaches and a lounge. The lounge area will be a public area and used by many university and non-university people in addition to the athletic pro- grams. The naming of the lounge in honor of Mr. Palmer, with his picture and other memorabilia and acknowledgements, seemed like an ideal way to keep him alive in the minds of the people who come to the university, especial- ly those who use the baseball realted facilities. As a result, I agreed to use S50.000 of money from sale of this artwork to honor him by naming the lounge accordingly. It seemed most appropriate to me use some of his funds to honor the largest donor to the university. 9. Until such time as we had identified the lounge as an ap- propriate facility to honor Mr. Palmer, I had made no finan- cial commitment to the baseball clubhouse and didn't intend to do so. It was only in response to the special opportunity to honor Mr. Palmer that I did make a financial commitment to the baseball clubhouse. The only other commitment made by the university to this whole project is that we arc bringing water and sewer to the facility. All other commitments are be- ing handled by Mr. Mahaney and his fundraising efforts. Our S50.000 commitment is a relatively small part of the ap- proximately $600,000 total cost for this project. 10. Beyond the sale of the $50,000 to the lounge to honor Mr. Palmer, I do not anticipate any further dollars going to support athletic programs. In- stead, I would expect the bulk of the funds so raised to go to pay for the Maine Center for the Arts or support the Hudson Museum. Possibly some much smaller might go to one or more of the academic departments in support of this collection or their work relating to it. I appreciate your interest in this effort and the concerns that others might have relative to our actions. Hopefully the above information will respond appropriately to those who have concerns. If I can be of further assistance on this mat- ter, please don’t hesitate to call on me. Dale W. Lick President President addresses GSS Senators criticize statements about black athletes; Lick maintains he was only quoting research by Jonathan Bach Staff Writer Although University of Maine President Dale Lick addressed many issues TUesday night at the General Student Senate, it was his response to a question about black athletes that received the most attention. Lick said the muscle structure of black athletes makes them more suited for certain sports. “As blacks begin to get into sports their natural athletic abilities come through, he said. Research shows that there are several sports where black athletes are just naturally better,” he said. They- have actually done research on an average black athlete versus an average white athlete in basketball where a black athlete can ac- tually outjump a white athlete on the average. ” The statements came in regard to a question from John Gallant, student government presi- dent, concerning why there is such a great percen- tage of minority athletes at UMaine. Lick maintains that he was only quoting research. I was giving you what the research says,” Lick said. Gallant told Lick that the statement was derogatory and was easy to be constrcwcd as inflammatory. Lick answered: Telling you what the research showed was derogatory? It’s not a derogatory statement to say that a black person on the average might be able to jump higher than a white person. Off-campus senator Jessica Loos said the statements bordered on racist. T.J. Ackcrmann, student govern- ment vice president, released a state- ment after the meeting stating he believed Lick “was sincere and meant no discriminatory insult, yet I took a personal offense for myself and my constituency that I represent as the vice president of the student body of the University of Maine. I believe his remarks were inap- propriate, the statement said. During the meeting, Lick also ad- dressed questions about parking, his discretionary fund, the Gavett con- troversy, and communication with students. NAACP leader calls Lick’s remarks racist PORTLAND. Maine (AP) — A black leader proposed Tuesday that the Univeisity of Maine offer sensitivity training in race relations following the uproar over its president’s remarks about athletic prowess among blacks. Gerald Talbot, former state legislator and longtime head of the Portland chapter of the NAACP. also urged the university to promote and encourage black student recruit- ment by offering scholarships outside the sports arena. ’’ Taibot said he believes President Dale W. Lick’s state- ment last week that the muscle structure of blacks makes them better suited to some positions in football and basketball was cause for his resignation. “I do not consider Mr. Lick a racist. I do, however, con- sider his statements to be of a racist nature. ” Talbot said in a prepared statement. Lick was out of state and could not be reached for comment. Talbot urged university trustees to arrange a sensitivity training workshop in race relations for staff and ad- ministrators. The workshop, to be held once or twice a year, would focus on minority-related issues. Kent Price, spokesman for the statewide university system, said the university holds workshops designed to make its employees aware of the problem of sexual harassment. Lick backed by trustees by Michael Di Cicco Staff Writer PORTLAND — The Univer- sity of Maine System Board of Trustees Thursday called remarks made by UMaine President Dale Lick concerning black athletes inapropriate” but supported Lick’s continued presidency. President Lick received very candid and direct expressions from each of us that we thought that his remarks were inap- propriate, that they were uncall- ed for, and that they put the university in a very bad light,” said BOT Chairman Harrison Richardson. Richard said the question of whether to fire Lick for his comments was never discussed during the 2 1 2- hour closed meeting. The special BOT meeting was requested by UMaine Chancellor Robert Woodbury to discuss remarks Lick had made during a student senate meeting. Lick said at that meeting that the muscle structure of black athletes makes them more Lick had not been reprimanded by the board, he said, We think he got the message. We don’t expect him to do anything like this again. During the meeting, board members voted to establish a commision “on pluralism to present the status of and recommend true steps forward in issues of pluralism and cultural appreciation for all people in the life of the UMaine System. ” Richardson said he hoped to have membership on the committee set by- April 14 and a preliminary' report from the commission by May. We want an external group of peo- ple to look at what we are doing and tell us where we can do better, ” he said. Richardson, who described the meeting as a searching discussion, ” said, 1 feel we’re back on course and I hope we’ll learn from this experience. ” during the senate meeting was ™ not as conclusive as he thought. “There is research,” he said. “The inapropriate nature of my comments was basically that the research is unclear in what it says and whether it relates to the matter at hand. ” Although Richardson said suited for certain positions in football and basketball. His comments sparked state- wide concern, including calls from legislatuvc leaders for his resignation. Following the BOT meeting. Lick said he felt “very humble and was “pleased with the board’s decision. “To the people of Maine and to those hurt by my comments, I am truly sorry, ” he said. Lick maintained that during his career he had worked toward the equal enhancement of all individuals. ” “My comments brought all of this into question, ” he said. I hope now my genuine apologies can be accepted by the people of Maine. ” Lick said the research he cited i Lick addresses controversies Calls last term 'most painful’ of career as college president by Lisa Cline Staff Writer University of Maine President Dale Lick said Tues- day night the fall of 1988 was the most painful” semester of his career as a college president. Addressing about 35 students at Kennebec Hall, Lick talked about some of the controversies that plagued his administration last semester. He said the payment of $36,000 to former women’s basketball coach Peter Gavett as part of a settlement agreement was a real bargain.” The agreement with Gavett was made in the best in- terest of the university, he said. Gavett resigned in June 1988 after one of his players accused him of sexual harassment. His resignation came three months after he signed a three-year con- tract with the university. Lick said the money had to be paid to Gavett to en- sure the protection of innocent people. He said the situation involving former UMaine women’s basketball player Victoria Watras was atypical.” The continuance of Watras scholarship after she quit the team was a judgement call,” he said. Lick said the university felt partial- ly responsible for the constant media attention she received during tbe Gavett case. He said that because of this pressure, the administration wanted to bend over backwards to help her out. 1 think (continuing her scholar- ship) was the right thing to do, and I think it was the compassionate thing to do,” he said. Lick also defended the use of his discretionary account. There is a tendency to think the president spends the money on his priority,” he said. That is simply not true.” Lick said he relies on the recom- mendations of others to decide what specific projects he will fund through his discretionary account. He said that during the last three years the bulk of the $600,000 spent has been put toward academics. On- ly $93,000 has gone to athletics or athletic related areas, including the payment to Gavett, he said. While his primary interest is academics, Lick said a strong athletic program will attract top students to the university. Athletics gives (a university) visibility like nothing else can, he said. But, he said, although athletics generate interest, a university must have something to back that up. He said that is why he has been committed to improving academic standards at UMaine. President defends policy supporting athletics by Jonathan Bach Staff Writer University of Maine President Dale Lick defended himself against attacks on the emphasis he has placed on athletics during an open forum Tuesday night. Lick came to the General Student Senate meeting in an attempt to reach “a new level of dialogue” with students. He said athletics have the potential to instill pride in a school, create school spirit and make people want to come to UMaine. policies to a lack of newspaper coverage of positive events. “Those things don’t get in the newspaper,” he said. “The Bangor Daily News has only one reporter who covers education, but they have five sports writers. It’s a sad indictment of values. ” When asked where students were placed on his list of priorities, Lick responded, “Students come first, ab- solutely. Students are number one. ” Responding to a question about the selling of pre-Columbian artifacts to finance a baseball clubhouse. Lick said he has “put no item on sale” since he has been here. Some of the artifacts, he said, were given to the university to sell. Fifty thou- sand dollars from the pending sale of a portion of the collection will be used to fund construction of a baseball clubhouse and lounge in honor of donor William Palmer III. 1 have agreed to spend S50.000 from the sale of that collection to honor that man and to keep his name and image alive,” Lick said. Concerning funding matters. Lick said he is spending $300.000-$500,000 less in state funds for athletics than previous UMaine presidents had been spending. “I haven’t supported athletics any more than I’ve supported anything else,” he said. “It’s sad that students have taken my support for the athletic program and blown it out of proportion. “I’m working my tail off supporting other programs,” he said. Lick attributed the reasons for some of the inaccurate student perceptions his National and z Ay a s c 49ers 1 — ......................................................................................................................................................................................— • — - •£ . r .. ■ - vV � � � ’� «.’! ?

Hightower’s presentation, “Land Grant Universities, American Farmers, the Hungry,” stans at 7:30 p.m. in 101 Neville Hall. Hightower has been called “colorful” and “controversial” for his brand of humor and political perceptiveness. The leadership he provided during his second term as agriculture commissioner resulted in more diverse production, in- creased processing and improved marketing of Texas agricultural products. Hightower, a Populist Democrat, ad- vocates economic justice and a decen- tralization of wealth and power as a means of achieving a productive, stable economy. He has made presentations at the last two Democratic National Conventions and also is an author. One of his books. Hard Tomatoes, Hard Times, deals with agricultural research and its impact on the food in- dustry. Another,£Vrf Your Heart Out, is about food monopolies. Both books reflect his political views. His work as a commissioner has brought him recognition. He has been profiled on “60 Minutes,” received an honorary degree from Columbus Col- lege of Chicago, and was listed by the National Journal as one of 150 people from outside the federal government “who make a difference” in Washington, D.C. Also speaking today is Susan DeMar- co, assistant commissioner for marketing and agricultural development in the Texas Department of Agriculture. DeMarco will speak on “Local Marketing Initiatives” at 1:10 p.m. in the Dexter Lounge of Alfond Arena. DeMarco, with her extensive background in agricultural economics and policies, has led thcTDA in creating aggressive new regional, U.S. and inter- national marketing programs. Like Hightower, she has aided Texas farmers and ranchers with programs that help them finance and build their own food- and fiber-processing facilities. These facilities assist pro- ducers marketing directly to consumers and in identifying Texas-grown products to customers. Since his re-election in November 1986, Hightower has developed pro- grams to help Texas farmers sell more of their products. Hightower co-founded the Agribusiness Accountability Project in 1970 and investigated the monopolies on farm and food policies until 1975. mm 11IMM Westmoreland tells his side of Vietnam by Lisa Cline Staff Writer The Vietnam War was lost on the homefront not the battlefield according to Gen. William Westmoreland, com- mander of United States military forces in Vietnam from 1964-1968. “The U.S. was defeated psychologically and politically on the homefront. We were not defeated on the battlefield,” Westmoreland told about 500 people Monday night at the Maine Center for the Arts. The Real History of the Vietnam War”, sponsored by the Guest Lecture Series, was Westmoreland’s personal ac- count of American involvement in the conflict as “I saw it and as I see it.” He said that public dissent of the war hindered U.S. military efforts to wage a succesful campaign against the North Vietnamese communists. He said that in 1964 he warned members of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration that the con- flict in Vietnam “was to be a long war that would try the patience of the American people. ” 1 Westmoreland said the failure to of- ficially declare the conflict in Vietnam a war resulted in a carte blanche for dissent. ” He said the media also helped to spark opposition to U.S. presence in Vietnam as some “journalists reported irresponsibly. ” He cited coverage of the Tet Offensive in 1968 as an exam- ple. “The Tet Offensive was a strategic counter-attack by the North Viet- namese. It was the rccogition that their strategy was not working and had to be changed. But the (Tet Offensive) was shown in the media to be evidence we were losing the war.” He said the public never understood the that the military’s main objective was to stop the spread of communism throughout Southeast Asia through negotiations with the North Vietnamese government. “The national policy was to negotiate. But when we brought (the North Vietnamese) to the conference table, we had lost our trump card. All the troops had moved out.” Physicians question arms race Lown: ‘Nuclear war will provide no place to hide’ by Cynthia Beckwith Staff Writer Soviets and Americans must work together to end the nuclear arms race, Soviet and American members of the In- ternational Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War said Saturday. The Soviets and Americans spoke during an all-day sym- posium at the University of Maine titled, Risk and Oppor- tunity: Health and Security in the Nuclear Age. ” The sym- posium was presented by the Physicians for Social Respon- sibility of Eastern Maine. Three of the key speakers in- cluded Dr. Everett Mendelson of Harvard University, Dr. Ber- nard Lown of the Harvard School of Public Health, and Dr. Boris Bondarenko of the Research Institute of Car- diology in Leningrad, U.S.S.R. All three spoke in favor of disarmament and peace among nations. Lown, co-president of IPPNW, was the keynote speaker. His speech stressed the need for nuclear abolition. Nuclear war will provide no place to hide, he said. The medical profession will have nothing to offer, not even relief of pain for those facing death. Those who survive blast, fire and radiation will die either of cold, starvation or of AIDS in a pall of enduring darkness. In- deed the living will envy the dead.” Lown, a University of Maine graduate, is credited with creating the IPPNW in 1980 along with a Soviet physician, Evgucni Chazov. The organiza- tion has grown to include more than 150,000 members in 49 nations. Films portray black women stereotypes by Steve Miliano Staff Writer A two-day film scries dealing with the stereotypes of black women in society will be presented Thursday and Friday in Hauck Auditorium. I brought this film series here because this campus is so white, ” said Esther Rauch, organizer of the the scries. “I think that members of the campus community are culturally deprived.” Rauch, an assistant professor of English at the University of Maine, said she first learned of the “Black Women Independent Filmmakers” from a review in a New York newspaper. I saw it and I got excited, ” she said. The films in the scries are not com- mercial films but are art films that ex- plore the roles of black women in socie- ty. Film topics include integration, un- wed mothers, and the relationship be- tween arts and politics. The series will consist of three pro- grams having a total of 12 films that range in length from seven to 58 minutes. Each program will be follow- ed by a group discussion. Valerie Smith, associate professor of English and Afro-American Studies at Princeton University, will lead the discussion following the final program. Smith was the guest curator at a similar film series held at the Whitney Museum of Art in New York City. We have invited people from all over the women’s community and faculty members from every college in Maine, ” Rauch said. The series is free and open to the public. Soviet dissident recalls struggle K., --------- OO by Steven Pappas Staff Writer Society must develop without violence, said Alexander Ginzburg, Soviet dissident speaking on the strug- gle for human rights in the Soviet Union. Ginzburg, a Soviet journalist and editor who spent nine years in soviet prison camps, spoke to a capacity crowd in Neville Hall last night about the trials and tribulations of his efforts as a human activist entitled “The Struggle for Human Rights in the U.S.S.R..” The lecture was sponsered by the Distinguished Lecture Scries. “There arc no human rights in the Soviet Union as of today,” said Ginz- burg, who was one of many dissidents arrested, tried and exiled for his actions against the Soviet government. “A society can evolve if there is an at- mosphere of freedom, ” he said. Through an interpreter, George Ger- rish, Ginzburg retraced the steps he took as a human rights activist from the 1950s through the ’70s. He published and edited a literary magazine used to attack Soviet policy and relayed messages he deemed necessary. “I thought, ‘Why not try to make my own magazine without censorship,’ ” Ginzburg said. “My friends all thought I was crazy. ” Ginzburg said all forms of journalism and presses for publications were con- trolled by the Soviet government. “1 ended up putting as much paper and carbon paper into a typerwriter ... I had my friends do the same and soon we were published, ” Ginzburg said. He was arrested for his actions, and after two years was arrested a second time for publishing political poetry. “Poets were able to write what was actually around us at the time,” he Alexander Ginzburg ...Jailed for writings said. “They are those who arc spiritually independent from the authority. ” The third arrest was provoked by Ginzburg, who founded the Moscow Helsinki Watch Group, a citizen’s group committed to monitoring the Soviet’s adherence to the humanitarianism set by the Helsinki accords. During the years in prison camps, Ginzburg said several of his activist col- leagues died. “While 1 was in prison, protestors led the real start to human rights,” he said. “I noticed a new situation was happening ... a small society was form- ing from these groups. ” Marie Urbanski, chair of the Distinguished Lecture Series, said, “He is bringing so much experience to us. I think he brings the concept of self- sacrifice and commitment to human rights. “These are the things we need to remember,” Urbanski said. ‘Godfather of punk9 to speak at UMaine by Rhonda Morin Staff Writer Malcolm McLaren, often referred to as the godfather of punk, says the punk movement in which he played a major role put the fans in power. “The fans themselves became the stars. They decided when to disrupt and dismantle,” said the man behind punk groups as The New York Dolls, the Sex Pistols, Bow Wow Wow and Adam and the Ants. He will speak at 8 p.m. Wednes- day, Oct. 26, in Hauck Auditorium. He said that although the members of the Sex Pistols more or less hated each other, they also hated everything else in the pop music arena. Led by Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten, the Sex Pistols’ 18-month period of stardom seeked to fuel the fire of destruction in which the fans would play the ultimate role. However, once the members of the band stood in the limelight, McLaren pulled the plug. “I dismantled the star mess (because) the band was only alive when the fans were in control,” he said during a telephone interview Monday. McLaren, 40, still is bursting at the scams with fresh and innovative ideas intended to make people gasp. “I’m such an irresponsible bugger, I’m only just waking up to the fact that I’m over 21. I quite like that,” McLaren said. The man began making anarchy a fad in 1971 when he and his former wife, Vivienne Westwood, opened a ripped T-shirt and bondage-clothing boutique called Sex. He soon began assembl- ing bands from people who fre- quented the shop. He chalks up his discovery of the four “scabrous” individuals who fell into his shop one day in 1976 as a small fraction of his success. The group soon would smash sophisticated ‘70s music charts with the raw screech of Sid Vicious and primitive pounding of Johnny Rot- ten’s guitar. McLaren renamed Johnny Lydon as Rotten for his “scuzzy teeth.” McLaren has been accused of ducking responsibility when Vicious allegedly stabbed his New York girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, while they were using heroin. Vicious died of an overdose while awaiting trial. “I never wanted to be the manager of people’s lives. I wanted to paint the the canvas and invent the idea, ” McLaren said. The former London resident says the days of the Sex Pistols are long gone and his present work should be focused on, including an exhibition of his lifetime work on display at The New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York. Miller says Lau_ must be provoked ghter I led H by Rhonda Morin Staff Writer Humor is an episode of play that interferes with an episode of seriousness, said Dr. Jonathan Miller Tuesday night at The Maine Center for the Arts. “What we are doing with humor is intended to be time off from the seriousness of get- ting on with life ... We then re- enter into real life with revi- sions, ” said the author of The Body In Question and director of several plays, operas and television shows. By participating in humor, people can momentarily detach themselves from their serious lives, then revise their social concepts with a refreshing bit of humor, said the British- accented doctor. With flapping motions of his large hands, Miller told the au- dience one cannot laugh at will but rather must be provoked by first recognizing the humor. Miller likened a laugh to blushing; one blushes after realizing an embarrassing situa- tion and the result is an attempt to cover up the embarrassment. A sense of humor. Miller said, occurs when people are aware but unrehearsed in sub- jects that are suddenly verbalized. “It is this momcment of go- ing from one to the other that provokes laughter,” he said. He cited three biological needs — lust, hunger and thirst — that can be found humorous because of the pleasure attach- ed to each. These needs transpose into strenuous acts that supply pleasurable pay-offs. “One would tend to get absent- minded unless there is a pay-off,” Miller said. “We might get so absent-minded that we need a diary or alarm clock.” A ripple of laughter arose from the audience as Miller ex- plained if lust did not invoke pleasure, people would need alarm clocks to remind them to participate in intercourse. . Mitzi Phillips: The woman who taught | Koko to “speak’ by Steve Miliano Staff Writer Imagine having the opportunity to communicate with a famous person from a foreign country. Probably the first and most obvious hurdle that would have to be overcome is the language barrier. Mitzi Phillips had this opportunity seven years ago, and today she continues to bridge the communications gap. Phillips’ communications task is more difficult than most because the person she is speaking with is a 300-pound gorilla named Koko. “Koko uses signs drawn from American Sign Language (to com- municate),” Phillips told a Bennett Hall audience last night. “Many people misunderstand this language,” she said. “They think it’s some kind of manual translation, code or pantomime. ” Phillips explained that in ASL, verbs have no past or present tense. Rather, a time indicator is placed at the beginn- ing or end of a sentence to show its tense. “ASL also utilizes facial expres- sions,” $ be said. For inslance, Koko will more her eyebrows upward when responding to a yes-or-no question and downward when answering a ‘wh’ ques- tion like who, what, where or when. ” Koko, considered to be the most famous gorilla in the world, has learn- ed over 1000 signs since 1972, Phillips said. She also has a large active vocabulary, which includes signs record- ed by two separate individuals which are also used on at least half of the days of a given month. Phillips said her duties at the Foun- dation include keeping a log of Koko’s movements, activities and meals. Because of her level of intelligence, Koko tends to get bored easily,” she said. “It’s not always easy to keep a mischievous 300-pound gorilla from be- ing bored. ” Koko can answer specific questions and can communicate her feelings through sign language, Phillips said. “She also uses her vocabulary to swear, lie and joke,” she said. “She really has a wonderful sense of humor. ” - — 3 U A? - lli 121 ft hU CIA undermines democracy by Lisa Cline Staff Writer CIA operations in Central America ’’support political repression, torture and murder,” an author and former CIA officer said Wednesday night. In his lecture, “Inside the CIA,” Philip Agee told about 300 people at Hauck Auditorium that the CIA routinely participates in covert opera- tions to overthrow elected civilian goverments and replace them with military dictatorships. A secret operations officer in South America from 1957-1968, Agee said the Central Intelligence Agency has been in- volved in paramilitary operations since it was established in 1947. “The Contras are a continuation of 40 years of paramilitary operations, he said.” Agee said the CIA trains death squads” to carry out its operations. He said CIA attempts to “manipulate” the institutions of power of various countries in the name of na- tional security arc actually a way of fur- thering the gains of an elite few. ” “The people who own the United States govern it. They are the ones who benefit from CIA activities,” he said. Agee said he is “disturbed” by the election of George Bush as president because as a former director of the CIA in 1976, Bush was actively involved in the “illegal, covert” activities of the CIA. He said he found it “appauling that Bush’s background was of little interest in the campaign. ” As director of the CIA. Bush ordered the destruction of all files that im- plicated CIA officers in illegal activities in Angola, Agee said. In 1975, the CIA was furnished with a report by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency that implicated Panamanian Gen. Manuel Noriega in drug dealings, Agee said. At the time Noriega was a “very important liaison contact to the CIA,” he said. Agee said that as CIA director, “it is inconceivable that Bush was not told of Noriega’s drug dealing. ” Bush says he knew nothing of the general’s drug connections until Noriega was indicted. ‘The October surprise' Bush’s involvement in covert opera- tions has continued as part of the Reagan administration, Agee said. He said these dealings began with the October surprise,” a deal bet- ween the 1980 Reagan campaign and the Iranian government to not release the American‘hostages being held in that country until after the election. Agee said there is no evidence to pro- ve th t a deal was actually made, but, he said, “Twenty minutes after Reagan’s inauguration, the hostages were on a flight back home. ” Agee said that in countries such as Nicaragua, the U.S. has been attempting to undermine regimes that are seeking reforms to benefit the people. He said the Sandinista government has been im- plementing educational, land and health reforms. After realizing that “everything I was doing was going to support the existing structures,” Agee said he decided to leave the CIA. He said he decided to write a book about his experiences as a CIA officer in hopes that it “would open some eyes and start a movement against such ac- tivities. ” Agee said Inside the Company: a CIA Diary, published in 1975, was met with “anger from the government and the CIA,” under threat of criminal pro- secution, he was forced to leave the country. He returned to the United States last year for the publication of his book On the Run.” Agee said he believes that a national security agency is necessary and he says he does not advocate the dismantling of the CIA. “This country needs the (CIA) to keep the peace, not to wage war against defenseless peasants in Central America. ” Minorities must fulfill potential, mayor says by Steve Miliano Staff Writer Augusta Mayor William Burney, the only elected black mayor in northern New England, said Sunday that Maine minorities “have to be all (they) can be” and deal with problems as they arise. Bumey, keynote speaker of a seminar titl- ed, “Appreciating Cultural Diversity, ” said he felt he had been turned down from jobs in the past because of his ethnicity. 1 don’t think it has been a tremendous shackle or has held me back, ” he said. “Being all you can be is not an easy task. Accomplishment requires goal setting. ” Burney said setting goals is sometimes dif- ficult because of the attitudes toward minorities. He stressed the need for education of Maine’s youth and cited a long list of recom- mendations from the Task Force on Blacks and Hispanics in New England Higher Education. Bumey was approached by a member of the UMaine System board of trustees with the task force’s findings. Improving education in areas concerning minorities especially is a task well worth undertaking,” Burney said. Maine should take up that challenge.” The two-hour program, which was co- sponsored by the Newman Center and the Northern Maine Coalition for Undoing Racism, also included an address by Durren- da Ojanuga on the importance of cultural diversity in Maine. Kalb details life on other side of notebook by Christina Koliander Staff Writer Bernard Kalb, who served two years as the assistant secretary of state for public affairs under the Reagan Administration, presented ‘‘A Look at the News from Both Sides of the Podium,” at the Maine Center for the Arts Sunday. Kalb, who is also a former New York Times reporter, compared his life as a spokesperson with his duties as a journalist. Kalb’s responsibility at the State Department was to brief the press on U.S. foreign policy. He said there was “excitement and exhiliration of being identified with the United States. ” Kalb said it was very different to switch sides and go behind the podium and before the press for the first time. Bernard Kalb “Reporters are involved with sentences that end with a ques- tion,” he said. “The State Depart- ment ends sentences with periods and hope that is the end.” I---------------- ___________________; Bernard Sanders to speak Bernard Sanders, the only socialist mayor in the United States, will present two lectures at the University of Maine on Thursday. The first lecture, tilled Is It Possi- ble to be a Socialist and a Politician in the U.S.? will be held at 12:20 p.m. in the Sutton Lounge of Memorial Union. The second lecture, presented by the four-term mayor of Burlington. Vt.. will be held at 7 p.m. in 101 Neville Hall and is titled “The Failure of the Two-Party System in the U.S. ” Sanders has nadc a tremendous im- pact on the concept of two-party politics in Vermont, and to some degree, in the nation. During Sander’s tenure as mayor, Burlington has initiated a wide variety of programs which have improved life for citizens of low and moderate income. Burlington was recently recognized by the U.S. Conference of Mayors as one of the most liveable cities in the coun- try. Sanders ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in the fall election and came within three preccntage points of becoming the first socialist elected to Congress in over 50 years. In December 1987, Sanders was nam- ed by U.S. News and World Report as one of the best 20 mayors in the U.S. Workshops to foster women's leadership by Christina Koliander Staff Writer A series of workshops designed to foster women’s leadership abilities has been scheduled for four Tuesday afternoons this semester. The Women’s Leadership Pro- gram — sponsored by the Center for Student Services — was organized by a planning committee composed of students, faculty members and administrators. The committee focused on four areas that it found to be important, one of which will be the topic of each workshop. The first topic, Getting Comfor- table with Leadership and Exploring our Attitudes About it. will be presented Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. in the Bangor Lounge of the Memorial Union. Women arc usually seen as weaker in leadership, said Maxine Harrow, associate dean of Student Services and - the chair of the program. One of the imponant things is the ability for women to network together and to identify other women leaders on campus. ’’ Leslie Doolittle, a student representative and a member of the planning committee, said women are realizing they have options in terms of careers and personal lives. This program encourages people to look at options and to realize they do have a choice,” she said. I think the most important thing is for students to realize there are women leaders. Doolittle said that in the past year, she has seen an increase of women in leadership roles at the University of Maine. She cited the female student government president and the female president of the Off-Campus Board as exapmles. “(College) is a time in our lives for us to learn, to grow and to develop as people, she said. “This pro- gram encourages this type of learn- ing, growing and development.” The other workshops in the pro- gram are as follows: Feb. 28. Becoming a Visionary Leader; March 28. Developing Your Power to Communicate Effectively; and on April 18, “How Women Get There: A Role Modeling Networking Workshop.” Participants should be pre- registcrcd, Harrow said, but registra- tion will be taken at the door. All of the programs will begin at 3:30 p.m. in the Bangor Lounge. The courage to heal Author tells UMaine audience that victims can overcome pain, guilt of sexual abuse by Christina Koliander Staff Writer A nationally-known author spoke to a nearly filled Hauck Auditorium Wednesday even- ing about her experiences with child sexual abuse and how people can learn how to heal and survive. Laura Davis, co-author of the book, The Courage to Heal: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse, said she decided to write the book after she realized she had been abus- ed as a child and found there was no literature for adults about the healing of child sex- ual abuse. “The basic message was ‘your life is ruined and you arc now a statistic,’” Davis said. Part of my healing was to write a book on how to heal. I wrote it for selfish reasons. I needed an answer. ” The lecture was sponsored by the University of Maine’s Of- fice of Equal Opportunity. “Sexual abuse is a problem absolutely everywhere. It goes across the board,” Davis said. She said one in every four females will be sexually abused, while one in every seven males will be, according to current statistics. Davis said people need to overcome the shame and realize that they are not guilty; instead they are the victims. “Survivors need to be believ- ed and listened to. They need support,” Davis said. Throughout her presenta- tion, Davis cited accounts of survivors she has interviewed. Davis said her book is writ- ten for people who want to sur- vive. She said adults need to acknowledge that the abuse did occur. But in order to survive, there will be the pain of reliv- ing the experience. Davis said she began con- fronting her abuse situation six years ago. She had been sexual- ly abused by her grandfather when she was 3 years old, she said. Once 1 started remember- ing, there wasn’t any going back. My life was never tidy again, ” she said. Davis said three things are needed for survival: hard work, time and dedication. She said some people find it hard to make that committment to heal. “Fear definitely goes into the healing process, she said. Davis said she has met peo- ple who have bought her book but can’t read it, because it is too frightening to them. Peggy Day is one of those sexual abuse survivors who has read Davis’ book. “I found it really power- ful,” Day said. “It’s become a Bible to me as an incest sur- vivor. (It is) one book I found which contains real-life things that are helpful.” Day also came to the realiza- tion six years ago that she was sexually abused and began to look at her situation. Something just triggers it, and it has to be dealt with,” she said. “You shouldn’t pretend it didn’t happen or pul it out of your mind, because it is going to come back,” Day said. “The decision to heal is pro- bably the most difficult deci- sion you’ll have to make,” Davis said. “Every single sur- vivor deserves to heal. If you’ve made it this far, you’ve got what it takes. You’ve got the courage to heal. ” — Fraternity conference covers pledge hazing by Kristen Williams Staff Writer Representatives of Sigma Chi frater- nity chapters from throughout New England and the Maritime Provinces in Canada met this past weekend at the University of Maine to discuss hazing. “It was our goal to bring together the chapters of Sigma Chi to share thoughts, ideas and methods of ac- complishing the goals of a pledge pro- gram which would avoid hazing,” said Mike Ursillo, Sigma Chi regional alumni advisor. Ursillo said hazing activities have no place in the pledge program, which is designed to prepare the pledge for membership in the fraternity. “Hazing doesn’t serve any useful pur- pose at all, ” he said. Steve Bonnell, president of the UMaine chapter, said the conference educated the participants about the need to have a uniform pledge porgram. “We have a good program as it stands now,” he said. “But there’s always room for improvement.” Ursillo said the conference resulted in four pledge program proposals in which goals were set and the means of attain- ing them were justified without the use of hazing. “Each chapter should decide, using these proposals, upon a pledge program to suit their individual goals, ” Ursillo said. Bonnell said the UMaine chapter of Sigma Chi has been working with William Lucy, associate dean of Student Activities and Organizations, to establish a university-approved pledge program. “We have had each part of our revis- ed program approved by him before we implement them,” he said. Lucy said, “They are sincerely in- terested in making their program a positive experience for all their new members. ” Chapters present at the annual Pro- vince Conference were from the Univer- sity of Rhode Island, Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology, Yale University, Brown University, University of Con- necticut, Western Connecticut State and Dalhousie-St. Mary’s. _____| Maine Bound |_ | to sponsor workshops | by Jaime Osgood Staff Writer Maine Bound, a University of Maine organization dedicated to outdoor ac- tivities and education, will be sponsor- ing activities, related workshops and in- formation programs Tuesday in and around the Memorial Union. Maine Bound is responsible for organizing outings for students in- terested in camping, hiking, skiing and other outdoor recreation. The theme for Tuesday’s activities is winter recreation. Along with several events and demonstrations by Maine Bound members, a number of businesses and organizations, including the National Ski Patrol, and representatives trom Squaw Mountain ski resort in Green- ville, will present programs and safety information for students. The idea behind the activities and in- formation day is to get people ac- quainted with Maine Bound and to let people know outdoor winter recreation can be fun, said Maine Bound member John Anderson. “There are a lot of different winter activities people don’t know much about, like ice climbing for instance, ” he said. “That could be fun. ” Anderson said members of Maine Bound are planning to construct an ice wall somewhere on the mall and then demonstrate the techniques of ice climbing. There may even be an opportunity for interested people to try it themselves, he said. “People don’t have to go into hiber- nation during the winter,” he said. “They can come out and play.” There will also be free snowshoe and cross-country ski rentals at the Union for people who want to try some winter exercise, Anderson said. Several informational workshops, in- cluding one on waxing skis, and recrea- tional videos showing snowboarding and telemarking techniques will be con- ducted in the Union as well, he said. Other activities planned for the day include various lectures from Maine Bound members on different aspects of winter recreation, Anderson. Black writes of Vietnam by Christina Koliander Staff Writer “What’s a nice guy like me doing in a place like Vietnam?” Former Time Magazine correspon- dent Wallace Terry asked this question to an audience Tuesday evening when he recounted a different viewpoint of the Vietnam War in a lecture and a slide presentation at Hauck Auditorium. Terry is the author of the national best seller Bloods-. An Oral History of the Vietnam War by Black Veterans, which tells black soldiers’ view of the war. Bloods was not written over- night.” he said. “It took 17 years.” Terry said after taking two years to write the book, no one who wanted to publish it. Rejection followed rejection,” he said. No one wants to hear about Viet- nam and especially black men in Viet- nam. ” But Terry offered three reasons why he kept persisting. “I became aware black soldiers were carrying extra burdens and I didn’t want (the black soldiers) to be forgotten as they had in the past,” he said. He also discovered that these soldiers were the victims of discrimination. He said there were instances where they weren’t getting promoted as quickly as whites and were not receiving the medals they should. Terry was sent to Vietnam by Time to cover the racial and discriminatory pro- blems of the black soldiers. When he got there, he found blacks commanding battalions and flying bombers. “Blacks were everywhere, ” he said. After interviewing many black soldiers, Terry chose to focus on just one soldier and make it a cover story. That soldier was Clyde Brown, who was the commander of an all-white batallion. A cross was burned in front of Brown’s tent by soldiers who were jealous of the attention he was given, Terry said. There were “Americans against Americans in a double battleground,” he said. The Vietnamese were scared of the black soldiers at first, recounted Terry. Communists first said if you got too close to black soldiers, they would suck your blood,” he said. “That’s the first time I’ve heard a black person referred to as a vampire.” The Vietnamese then thought the black soldiers had tails, but they soon became their friends. “The black soldiers realized our coun- try was divided on the war,” he said. It was just one more example of a black man killing a yellow man for the benefit of a white man. ” Terry said the average age of a soldier in Vietnam was 19 years old. “For what are we killing such young people, such young children?” he ask- ed. Many of them told me they never experienced sex before they were sent to Vietnam. ” Although he loves to watch old war movies, Terry noted there are hardly ever any black soldiers in them. “Patton” is his favorite movie, but he said the only black character in the whole film is the general’s valet. They show that the white soldiers are invincible and the black soldiers arc invisible, ” he said. Wallace Terry, author otBLOODS: An Oral History of the Vietnam War by Black Veterans. (Random House; August 30. 1984; $17.95). In the slide presentation, Terry in- cluded a tape with the voices of five black veterans as they remembered cer- tain incidents of the war. “I think of Vietnam every day,” said one veteran. Another veteran said his commanding officers would not hesitate to call him “tar baby” and would sometimes use the magic “N” word. Another veteran said when he return- ed home, he had to recreate the sleep- ing place he had in Vietnam because he couldn’t sleep in a bed. Terry’s slides were filled with the hor- rors of injured Vietnamese and American soldiers in combat and the scenery in Vietnam. Cousteau Society member to speak on ocean threats by Jaime Osgood Staff Writer David Brown, a member of the Jac- ques Cousteau Society will, lecture on “Threats to Our Global Oceans,” tonight at 8 p.m. in Hauck Auditorium. Brown has a broad background of expertise. A researcher and naturalist, Brown has explored and studied the wildlife, terrain and peoples from the Caribbean to Alaska and into the South Pacific. Brown joined the Costeau Society in 1984. Sandy Bond, Cousteau Society super- visor of research and communication, said Brown has divided his time between exploration work and the lecture circuit. His work with the Cousteau Society has taken him up some of the world’s greatest river systems, including the Amazon, Mississippi and the St. Lawrence. A certified diver, Brown has also observed and documented whales, dolphins and porpoises above and below the water, and has worked as a photographer on whale research pro- jects off the New England Coast. Brown’s lecture, is sponsored UMainc’s Guest Lecture Scries. by A 1 ! Perestroika will endure in U.S.S.R., Molotchkov says by Lisa Cline Staff Writer Perestroika will last, according to Sergei Molotchkov of the Soviet Union’s Academy of Sciences. Speaking to about 40 people at NeviUe Hall last night, Molotchkov said the governmental reforms that have been im- plemented by Soviet leader Mikhail Gor- bachev are “irreversible. ” “What Gorbachev has done cannot be undone, ” he said. “The vast majority of the people understands that we must go forward and cannot go back, ” he said. “Some would even say we are doomed to suc- ceed. ” Molotchkov’s lecture, “Perestroika and Glasnost in the Soviet Union,” was sponsored by the Canadian- American Center. Molotchkov said that as the slogan of the 1919 Russian Revolution, “All power to the Soviets, ” once again comes to the forefront, the people are beginning to realize that the destiny of their coun- try is in their own hands. He said Gorbachev has attempted to decentralize the existing power structure and get the people involved in the democratization of the Soviet Union. An attempt to introduce similar reforms under Nikita Khrushchev fail- ed because it did not involve the people, Molotchkov said. These reforms, he said, were made following the era of forced collectiviza- tion under Joseph Stalin. But Khrushchev’s economic reforms were soon “dissolved and digested” by the administrative structure, he said. Gorbachev’s attempt at introducing modem democracy into the Soviet Union was initiated during a period of economic stagnation, Molotchkov. This was also a time of indifference and political passivity, according to Molotchkov. Gorbachev is attempting to restructure the administrative establishment which has “paralyzed” further progress, he said. His reforms are designed to give the people an active role in the economy and in the political process. Although the vast majority of the population supports Gorbachev’s policies, Molotchkov said there is still some resistance to perestroika. He said the resistance comes primarily from those who want to preserve the status quo and those who say the reforms are coming too slowly. One reason given by Gorbachev for the pace of the movement is that the problems that need to be dealt with are more numerous than were ex- pected, Molotchkov said. Another reason cited, he said, is that the degree of resistance to perestroika was underestimated. He said the new openess in his country has created a problem unique to Soviet citizens. While the introduction of democratic ideals has given the peo- ple new freedoms, he said, they do not know what to do with them “Some people simply do not know how to act, ” he said. But, Molotchkov said this is a pro- blem the Soviet people will gladly deal with. Times are difficult, but at the same time people are happy,” he said. 128 McNaught finds Homophobia common by Steve Miliano Staff Writer Homophobia is a common and com- pletely understandable occurrence given the current thinking of American socie- ty, according to Brian McNaught. Speaking to a near-capacity crowd in Neville Hall last night, McNaught told of personal experiences during his earlier life and about how he came to terms with his homosexuality. McNaught expressed his belief that heterosexuals don’t understand what gay and lesbian people go through dur- ing their lives. This, in turn, leads to “a lack of com- fort about the issue,” he said. “Homophobia is an irrational fear and hatred of homosexuality and homosexuals,” McNaught said. “Homophobia manifests itself in a variety of different ways. ” These range in degree from “fag jokes” to “physical and violent attacks. “Some of the most hostile people are those struggling with their own sexuali- ty,” he said. ‘‘I believe that ignorance is the parent of fear and that fear is the parent of hatred,” he said. “We have the (false) concept that people choose to be homosexual,” McNaught said. Experts, he said, believe that sexual orientation is determined around age five. Youngsters finding that they are at- tracted to members of the same sex face some problems that are different from those faced by their friends, McNaught said. “Kids don’t know what’s going on for them,” he said. “They just know there’s something different. “The issue of growing up gay and les- bian in our culture is the secret of grow- ing up alone,” he said. “Gay kids grow up terrified that their parents will discover (them). They are scared that when (their parents) find out they won’t love you any more. ” McNaught quoted a Gallup Poll statistic which said only 10 percent of Americans had had sex education in school and less than 15 percent had sex education in the home. “Most of us did not learn about sex from our parents,” he said. “We learned it from our friends and from reading the (bathroom) walls.” In the workplace, McNaught said, homophobia effects the productivity of not only the homosexual, but also of those with whom they work. Anxiety has been increased in recent years as the problem of AIDS continues. “AIDS has exacerbated the problem of homophobia,” McNaught said. “I believe in the educational pro- cess,” he said. “Once heterosexuals learn more about (gays and lesbians), the anxiety level decreases.” Expert discusses conflict of Middle East countries by Lisa Cline Staff Writer Peace in the Middle East will only be possible when the Israelis and Palestinians overcome not only their political differences but their ethical differences as well, an expert on Middle East af- fairs said Friday at the University of Maine. Lynne Bclaies, a visiting research fellow of ethics at the Truman Institute, told about 100 people at the Hilltop conference room that the struggle can be seen as an attempt by the Israeli- Jews, the Israeli-Palcstinians and the Palestinians to define their own separate identities within Israel. Belaies speech, “The Palestinian Question as a Moral Dilemma for both Israelis and Palesti- nians,” was part of the daylong conference, “Peacemaking and Peace Policy in the Middle East.” The conference was sponsored by the UMainc Peace Studies Progam. Belaies, a member of the Palestinian Human Rights Committee, said the nationalistic move- ment within Israel “has lead to competion and war, not peace. ” The conflict has been an enormous tragedy from the beginning,” she said. There is no family in any group who hasn’t suffered enor- mously.” “(The conflict) was unavoidable. It cannot be annihilated, but it can be transcended.” Belaies said the competing factions must begin to break down the barriers of mistrust which history has created. The peoples of Israel must realize that their identities can coexist, she said. It will not be until each faction involved in the conflict acknowledges the rights of the others to exist that the peoples of Israel will be able to live together as one, Belaies said. It is not enough to recognize the existence of these people,” she said. “For peace to be everlasting, each group must recognize the other’s right to exist. A proposed plan to partition the country. Belaies said, would not be a suitable solution to the conflict due to the interaction that would continue between the peoples of Israel. Partition as a way of peace is not very func- tional,” she said. “There is an enormous in- frastucture built up in Israel that would be very hard to disengage from. “You cannot have a cold peace. There is too much inevitable interaction,” she said. 129 vJl m , ...........................................— -------------------------------------------------- .. South African journalist | talks about apartheid Christina Koliander, a Daily Maine Campus reporter, recently spoke with Joseph Thloloe, a South African jour- nalist. Thloloe visited the University of Maine last week, meeting with classes and giving lectures. He is the editor of The Sowetan, the largest black newspaper in the country. The following is the transcript of the interview. Q: Can you define apartheid for people who don’t know what it is or define apartheid in South Africa as you see it? A: Apartheid is a separation, a stratification of society, by a race in terms of South Africa’s laws, where the most privclcgcd and the most powerful are the whites, four million whites. And immediately after them, 900,000 Indians. And the third layer consists of three million coloreds, that’s people of mixed race. At the bottom of the pile, 26 million indigenous Africans. Now, this is a heirarchy of power and privilege. And that structure is what you find in apartheid. Q: What was the feeling or the air yon felt when you left South Africa? Was there tension in the air, because you say there is violence every single day? A: Do you mean in the country? Q: Yes. A: There is a sense of crisis and its there all the time. It bursts out into the open occasionally and then it recedes back into its shell. But the tension is always there. I remember when I was leaving, it was at the height of the rent (strikes), ftoplc refusing to pay rent and the local authorities were evicting peo- ple and you would get communities tak- ing the people back into their homes breaking the local authorities’ locks and putting them back, and recollecting their electricity legally, and doing constant battles between the police and youths who were trying to force people into the houses when they were being evicted by the local authorities. Q: So in Soweto, would you say there are riots every day? A: Not quite riots at this point. It’s leveled out now. It’s not at such an ex- treme point. But the anger is there. You can feel it all the time. Q: The anger of the whites against the blacks? A: Yeah. Q: Could you describe what it is like being a black in a country that is ruled by such a small minority of whites? How do you feel about that? A: Angry all the time. Angry and frustrated. It’s so difficult to understand how one man can do this to another and feel nothing about it. All we get are patronizing pats on the back. And if you probe deep enough, you will find that whites have got this fear of the country turning into a desert if blacks take over. But again, it means they have absolute contempt for roe and that’s what makes me feel angry all the time. Q: Since your superiors at the newspapers are white, how do you feel working for a white? A: I work because I’ve got to live, I’ve got to eat. I’ve got to drink, to have a roof, et cetera. Q: Chances are being a black, a white would be your superior? A: In fart, a recent survey of the South African economy indicated that 99 per- cent of the assets in the country are own- ed by whites and only one percent by blacks. A: I’m definite it’s going to end. Q: In your lifetime maybe? A: Yeah, hopefully in my lifetime If I didn’t have this hope, I wouldn’t be able to go on. Q: Do most blacks in South Africa have that? A: Yes, we have this hope. History is on our side. That’s very definite Q: So, if apartheid is to end, how can it end? What will be done to end it? A: There is going a number of pleasures on white South Africans, that are going to make them start question- ing if they can continue paying the price of apartheid. Q: You said that you believe that Nelson Mandela will be released? A: Yeah, I’m convinced he will be released. It’s very imminent. I think the government is looking for the right for- mula before he is released and is work- ing out. Q: You said recently you think that South Africa isn’t as important as it us- ed to be, as it was a couple yean ago m the United States? A: I was saying it dropped in the American priorities. In 1985-86, Americans were very worked up about apartheid because of the pictures they were seeing on television, but now it’s dropped where people don’t seem to care. Q: Do you think there’ll be a time when a little child in South Africa will grow up and not know what apartheid Is? Do you think apartheid will end? Stevens: Greeks must have courage to stop hazing by Debbie Dution Staff Writer My husband and I walked into that cold sterile room and saw our b-foot-2, strapping son lying on a stainless steel table covered with a sheet. We knew his blue eyes would be closed to us forever. That was the most devasting moment of our lives. ” Anti-hazing activist Eileen Stevens spoke to University of Maine Greeks Wednesday night about the tragic haz- ing death of her 20-year-old son Chuck. Fraternity and sorority members sat in silence as Stevens recounted the events that led to her oldest son’s death at Alfred University in upstate New York a little more than 10 years ago. Chuck had decided to pledge the local fraternity, Clan Alpine, on the day of his death, she said. That night, in February of 1978, Clan Alpine’s “hell week” was to begin. Chuck’s roommate was a member of Clan Alpine and told Stevens what hap- pened the night Chuck died and two others were hospitalized in critical con- dition. He told her, It’s a tradition, I did it myself. ” The pledges were told to remain in their rooms until the faternity brothers came to get them, she said. Because of the clement of surprise, when the members came to get Chuck, he neglected to take a coat. This error would later be one of the factors in his death. The pledges were loaded by threes in- to the trunks of cars, she said. Each pledge was told they had to consume a six pack of beer, a pint of Jack Daniels and a fifth of wine by the time they were released. The cars were driven around for about 30 minutes and finally went to the fraternity. When the pledges were taken out of the trunk, most of them were vomiting. They were taken upstairs and put to bed to sleep it off. Stevens said Chuck’s roommate said he continued partying may have eventually passed out himself. He was awakened by the sounds of panic. Ttoo pledges had stopped breathing and Chuck had turned blue. The two other pledges survived, but Chuck was already dead by the time help arrived. Stevens and her husband were telephoned in the middle of the night and told of their son’s death. They left immediately from their Long Island home and flew to the university. When they arrived at the hospital, the pathologist told them Chuck had died of acute alcohol poisoning and exposure. His lungs had filled with fluids beyond their capacity and he literally drowned. The pathologist told her, He drank a grotesque mixture of alcohol in an in- credible amount. ” The university disassociated themselves from the fraternity but took no disciplinary action. Stevens wasn’t satisfied. She formed C.H.U.C.K. (the Commit- tee to Halt Useless College Killings). She started a letter writing campaign to universities asking for help and ques- tioning their hazing policies. She began to press legislators to create anti-hazing state laws. After several set-backs, she helped to get the state of New York to pass laws making hazing illegal. She was also ac- tive in pushing Maine legislators to take action in creating anti-hazing laws. She has been influential elsewhere as well. There are now 32 states that have made hazing illegal. All national frater- nities and sororities now have strict policies against hazing. Stevens said she is not anti-Greek, on- ly anti-hazing. Greeks stand for honor, trust, leader- ship, brotherhood and sisterhood, ” she said. Hazing contradicts what you stand for.” Stevens said her main reason for speaking out against hazing and her ef- forts to stop it are because, “I don’t want your parents and family to go through what we did. ” The courage (to stop hazing) is in this room tonight.” McIntyre talks of rape by Steven Pappas Staff Writer Some cried. Some sat in silence. Mar- ty McIntyre told almost 250 people about rape. McIntyre, the first in a series of lec- turers about rape during the University of Maine’s Rape Awareness Week, ex- plained Monday night the staggering” statistics surrounding rape and common misperceptions about it. According to recent Ms. Magazine statistics, one in four women will be raped during her lifetime. One in 12 men admitted to committing rapes, the magazine said, and more than 80 percent of rapes are between people who know one another. This is known as acquain- tance rape. McIntyre, executive director of the Maine Sexual Assault Crisis Center, said the statistics, compiled in 1982, had not changed much. She said several factors in the socialization of children and adolescents creates misperceptions of rape and violence. She said the socialization of children to act out traditional gender roles impairs the “actual perception men and women should have about sexual violence. ” McIntyre said boys should not be brought up to act in an aggressive and active manner, while girls should be taught to be less passive and accepting. She said men and women should be able to decide what their sexual limits are and be able to avoid or remove themselves from potentially dangerous sexual activity. “It’s a pretty important right,” she said. She explained that in this era men should be more sensitive to women’s needs, and women should be more ag- gressive to prevent danger. She said mass communication has drastically altered society’s perception of the definition of sexual violence and rape. She blames the suggestive content and dehumanization of violence and sex- ual activity in books, movies and on the television, which children and adolescents see on a regular basis. She explained, though, the conflict is not only misperceivcd by children. She said adult men and women have often have different definitions of acquain- tance rape, seduction and consent. “Men’s perceptions of what rape is also lead to conflict.” she explained. She said men often believe they can “win over” women. “Often (men) don’t realize they are raping women. They don’t give them a choice. ” “Women have a right to say no’ to a man,” she said. She said she didn’t understand why men refused to unders- tand the meaning of “no. ” “It’s awful that men are not understanding the nature of consent,” she said. She said the decision should be honored rather than abused. She said this myth and others related to acquaintance rape should be eliminated through effec- tive education at all levels of school. She lauded Cutler Health Center and the Rape Awareness Committee for the “great efforts.” Marly McIntyre She addressed concerns that alcohol and drug use have been correlated with the incidents of rape. “There is no cor- relation between drugs and alcohol and rape.” she said. “It’s a causation.” McIntyre encouraged women (and men) who have been raped to seek counselling and take measures to prevent further incidents. i fa. Conference to focus on world hunger by Jonathan Bach Staff Writer Organizers of World Food Day will try to raise students’ awareness of the problems of feeding the hungry through an international teleconference and panel discussion on the issue, said Anne Johnson, manager of University of Maine dining hall programs. We’re trying to get them to see the problems and to sensitize them to the fact that there is a problem and they have to deal with it, ’’ Johnson said. Johnson, who calls herself a catalyst” for the World Food Day ef- fort, said students who want to help with problems of the hungry can do so through involvement in local organiza- tions. World Food Day, an interational forum on world hunger, marks the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945. This will be the fifth year that organizers have used the international teleconference. The theme of the teleconference, to be held today at noon, will be, World Food Security: Focus on Africa.” It is free to the public at the Instructional Systems studio in Alumni Hall. The teleconference will link a central panel of experts at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., with hundreds of closed circuit sites in the U.S., Canada, and participating televi- sion networks. A satellite will be used this year to reach international audiences. The teleconference, originating in Washington, D.C., will explore the food problems of Africa, where drought and famine have resulted in a steady decline in the continent’s self-sufficiency over the past 20 years. Patricia Young, coordinator of the National Committee for World Food Day, said the teleconference will help the World Food Day program. “We can use television and other educational tools to build, strengthen and educate a community of compas- sion and a constituency for action,” Young said. After the teleconference there will be a panel discussion on “African Food Security. ” The problems of feeding the hungry and possible solutions to them will be further examined during this follow-up discussion, which features Robert Chandler Jr., founder of a worldwide agricultural research network and win- ner of the 1988 World Food Prize. Chandler is also a 1929 UMaine graduate. Other panelists are: Gregory Brown, vice president for Research and Public Service; Mark Anderson, assistant direc- tor of the UMaine Experiment Station; and Judith Bailey, assistant vice presi- dent for Cooperative Extension. Brown said the panel will address issues such as problems of controlling the world population explosion, federal programs, and the question of whether to provide food to Africans now or to help them develop food production over time. Brown said the long-range goal of World Food Day is to unite people into an “international community” to ad- dress hunger problems. In the long run, what we’d like to see is a globalization of student bodies,” he said. “Just increasing awareness is an accomplishment. ” Panel: Women’s roles changing in world r by Christina Koliander Staff Writer An international panel of four women discussed the changes women have made and still face in their own countries at a lecture Tuesday afternoon. Sponsored by Women in the Cur- riculum, the lecture focused on “Global Perspectives on Women and Social Change. ” “There are many changes in the woman’s life there, ” Macoura Oulare, a citizen of Guinea. She said that for a long time, women had the traditional role of being the housewife. “They were like an object, ” she said. The women in Guinea received their independence in 1958, and there now- is a national committee for the women of Guinea. The committee, Oulare explain- ed, helps women cope with their every- day problems. Oulare said there are currently women in almost every profession in Guinea, in- cluding medicine and physics. There is one woman in a government leadership role. The women of India have just recent- ly learned how to be financially indepen- dent, said Rajcswari Natardjan. a citizen of India. Natardjan, who is currently working on her Ph.D. in microbiology at the University of Maine, explained divorce is uncommon in India because woman generally rely on their husbands for income. There has been amazing change, ” Natardjan said. She said there arc women in every single profession in In- dia. She cited the 18-year reign of Indira Ghandi as prime minister as an exam- ple of a woman succeeding in a man’s world. There arc even women in the government now, and she said they aren’t just secretaries. She said that after living in the United States for three years, she observed a change in India when she returned. She said it had been “Westernized. ” “I see a change, ” Nartardjan said. In Brazil, where Lucia Guerra lives, there are changes for women, but that varies from region to region. In the city where she lives, Guerra said, the first female mayor of Brazil has been elected. “I heard men ask, ‘Who is this woman?’ ” she said. Guerra said many women are involv- ed with politics in Brazil. She said women are being educated more than they used to be. But “we still have many things to do. ’’ she said. Isabelle Meissonner, of France, said there arc new changes in her country, one of which is a belter knowledge of the surrounding countries. “You can’t help people who are afraid of things, ” Meissonner said, in regard to the negative responses to women in the work force. “We (women) have to make our own proof, ” she said. Panel members said if a mother is employed, an older relative will usually take care of the children, instead of go- ing to a day care center. Nartardjan said that in India, if a woman is working on a farm, the child will be taken on the job, no matter how young they are There are no day care centers in India, she said. Guerra said that at the university where she works, a nursery is provided for children of faculty, but they do not spend the whole day there. She said pregnant women in Brazil receive a four-month “license, ” in which they receive full pay. Even though the license is guaranteed by the Brazilian constitution, employers argue that they lose money because of it. Sexual myths must change Zilbergeld: Males need to express emotions ! by Steve Miliano Staff Writer There are many stereotypical myths about male sexuality that need to be put to rest before men and women can have meaningful sexual relationships, clinical psychologist Bernie Zilbergeld told a Neville Hall audience Wednesday night. It wasn’t too long ago that we thought that women's sexuality was what we should be talking about, Zilbergeld said. Society has seemingly developed an understanding and sympathy for women,” but men have not been allowed to show their feelings. In the last 20 years, things have changed, he said. People are beginn- ing to realize that men, as much as women, are products of (their) upbring- ing. The typical male sexual stereotype can be changed if men learn to throw off some of the chains that bind them. ” A lot of the training that males receive when they are young is basically negative, Zilbergeld said. This training reults in one of the first myths on which he focused his discussion. Young males, he said, arc often taught that they should not express their feelings. A little boy growing up is told the worst thing to do is act like a girl. One of the main things women do is ex- press their feelings, but the worst in- sult you can give a boy of 6 or 7 years old is call him a sissy,” Zilbergeld said. This learned behavior carries on into adulthood and men tend to have trou- ble in areas such as caring and weakness, he said. “Men suffer from social constipa- tion.” The realities are that men have as many feelings as women... (and) women want men to express themselves,” he said. The myths about male sexuality often lead to communication problems bet- ween partners which, in turn, may hamper the couple’s intimate relationship. Men and women have differing definitions of intimacy.” Zilbergeld said. Women focus on words,” while men lend to more action oriented. Bernie Zilbergeld ...‘Talking leads to better sex.’ Often, men don’t understand a woman’s need for reassurance and sometimes women can’t understand why men aren’t more forthcoming, he said. There’s nothing wrong with talking and there’s nothing wrong with doing. They’re both crucial. ” There is a great deal for couples to learn about sex, Zilbergeld said. “Learning requires opcncss and a willingness to share feelings. ” Taking a condom from his pocket and unrolling it in his hands, Zilbergeld warned the audience of the risks associated with an active sex life. Sex has always been a risky activi- ty, but the ante has been upped con- siderably,” because of the threat of AIDS, he said. If the University of Maine is a typical” college campus, at least 20 percent of the students are infected with one of the major venerial diseases, he said. Protect yourself and your life,” Zilbergeld said. Talking leads to bet- ter (and safer) sex. ” Zilbergeld defined good sex as being when you feel good about yourself, your partner and what you did.” In this model, he said, there are no losers, only winners. Steroid use, eating disorders to be examined by Jaime Osgood Staff Writer Residential Life will be sponsoring an educational series on the use of steroids in sports and two eating disorders, anorexia and bulimia. Anne Johnson, director of Universi- ty of Maine’s dining hall programming, said the Positive Body Image series, which consists of two lectures and a video, is part of National Nutrition Month. The series, to be held Wednesday and Thursday, is also being sponsored by The Union Board, Cutler Health Center and the UMainc athletic department. We thought these two topics would go very well together in an instructional series since these two particular aspects of body image seem to be of interest to students today,” Johnson said. The lectures, titled “Anabolic Steroids and Drug use in Sports” and ‘‘Training with High Tech,” will be given by Dr. Robert Goldman, author of Death in the Locker Room, Johnson said. Goldman, the director of the High Tech Fitness Laboratory at Chicago Osteopathic Medical Center, has held more than a dozen world records in strength sports, among them 13,500 consecutive situps and 321 consecutive free-standing handstand pushups. In addition, Goldman chairs organizations such as Athletes Against Drug Abuse, the Amateur Athletic Union Sports Medicine Committee, and the International Federation of Body Builders Doping Committee. He is also the medical editor advisor for more than 20 publications. Woody Carbille. associate director of Dr. Robert Goldman Athletics for Internal Operation, said he does not feel there is any place for steroids in sports. He said many UMainc coaches and athletes will be attending Goldman’s lectures. “It’s very important to produce as much information as possible about these problems so students can leant and hopefully make the correct decision if anyone offers them steroids or any other kind of performance enhancing drug, ” he said. The video, “Food Fright,” takes a look at anorexia and bulimia and the people most commonly affected by the disease, women. “Food Fright” was written and stag- ed by women who fought personal bat- tles against anorexia (an eating disorder that often leads to poor health, malnutrition and sometimes even death), and bulimia, a disorder that in- volves abnormal cravings for food. The video uses parody, personal stories and facts to educate audiences. It is designed to heighten general awareness about the severity of the problem. According to current statistics, bulimia may affect as many as 20 per- cent of the women students on college campuses. Also, to illustrate the dangers of eating disorders, the film presents the results of a poll that asked women what aspect of their lives they would most like to change: wages, lack of access to power, vulnerability to poverty, infla- tion, pollution, or nuclear war. Over 50 percent substituted their own answer, their weight. Johnson said the whole idea behind the series is to inform people about the dangers of improper nutrition. “We’re doing this so kids won't get caught up in these two things,” she said. MEPA holds conference at University of Maine by Emily Pecblcs-Seibert Staff Writer The 1989 spring conference of the Maine Psychological Association was held April 29-30 at the University of Maine. Anne Hess, incoming president, said the MEPA includes both clinical psychologists who work in public and private settings and academic psychologists who teach at univer- sities and do research. The association also has student members, she said. Hess said the psychologists meet each fall and spring. During the this year’s meeting scientific research papers were presented by profes- sionals and students. David Mills, director of the MEPA Ethics Office which investigates com- plaints against psychologists, gave a talk on psychologists who are accus- ed of having sex with their patients. Mills said the person most often ac- cused of sexual misconduct is a male therapist who is between who is bet- ween 40 and 50 years old, is in prac- tice by himself, is having marital pro- blems and gets involved with a much younger female patient, ” he said. Ellen Theriault, a UMaine student, gave a paper on the factors that af- fect 20-ycar-old women who must decide whether to get married right away. She compared them to the fac- tors that affected women in their mothers’ generation. ‘i found the biggest difference is in education and desire for a career. ...Today there’s more of an opportuni- ty for women to go to college, ” she said. Michelle Dunham, a Bates College student, presented a paper on parents’ beliefs about the abilities of children at different ages. Their beliefs were assessed by questionaire and evaluated by other parents and psychologists. “Most of the parents tended to em- phasize things like social abilities and most of the experts tended to em- phasize the fact that children have the ability to learn things, ” she said. “These arc the things they each con- sidered important. ” Nancy Johnson, assistant professor of psychology at Bates College, said the conference has many benefits for psychology students. “They get a chance to hear what professional papers arc like (and) they get a chance to present their own work,’’ Johnson said. “When they get a chance to come here 1 think they really get a chance to sec that other people can hear about what they’re doing and be interested,” she said. Hess said students arc able to receive feedback on their work and meet others doing similar research. Chuck Acker, outgoing president, said a policy council meeting and a general membership meeting also took place. Discussion centered around the association’s directions and policies and the legislation members are concerned about. A woman and her sculpture Masquerading as an oddly- shaped revolving door, a 14-foot sculpture composed of assorted triangles looms outside Hitchner Hall. “The Patterns of Origin II,” as it is called, was created by Saco artist Patricia Campbell (left). It consists of five intersecting steel screens placed at 90-degree angles to one another. The place- ment of the screens reflects the concepts of repetition of form, and wall or boundary. The sculpture, commissioned through the University of Maine and the Maine Percent for Art program, was set in place about (wo weeks ago as the final part of the Hitchner Hall construction Phwo by Km Ferrarea project. The building addition houses research and academic programs for the microbiology and biochemistry departments. --- mliEw- itm Audience included in exhibits photo by Rich McNeary Marjorie Moore’s “Canis-Canis” is currently on display in Carnegie Hall. The exhibit, which deals with human-animal relationships, closes Nov. 21. by Steve Miliano Staff Writer The University of Maine Museum of Art is expanding its coverage of the arts this week by sponsoring two displays in- volving audience participation. The performance of Lucio Pozzi’s “Relentless Waltz” at 7 p.m. Friday in the Carnegie Gallery will involve a col- laboration of acting, music and the audience. “There is a different relationship bet- ween the theater and the public,” Pozzi said. “Here, the theater weaves itself into the audience.” The idea of an interrelationship bet- ween the players and the spectators is not a new one, Pozzi said. “It is an old theory that was used most recently in the play “Cats. ” In “Cats,” the actors move throughout the audience creating a “total theatre,” he said. Pozzi considers Relentless Waltz” an extension of the paintings he usually creates. “It is a translation,” he said. “With paintings, the piece is stationary while the audience moves. With this, the audience is motionless and the art moves. ” Besides Pozzi, the cast of “Relentless Waltz” includes people from the theatre dance and music departments. The performance occurs simultaneously with Marjorie Moore’s “Canis-Canis” exhibit. Moore’s video installation examines the attitudes humans have toward animals. “We see them under our power, and we become conquerers of nature rather than living with nature,” Moore said in a recent press statement. The display is primarily composed of two video monitors resting on bureaus surrounded by a chain-link fence. Inside the drawers are pictures of canines, and pieces Of felt and fur. These articles hang out of the partially-opened drawers, evoking a feeling of sympathy for the lives of wild animals. After watching the two synchronized 20-minute videos, viewers may enter the fenced-in area and sit and look at a book containing references to the process of Moore’s work. While inside the “cage,” the viewer may feel a sense of confinement, sup- posedly similar to that of an animal cag- ed for public display in animal parks. Moore’s work will be on display un- til Nov. 21, with videos running hourly. lomeo and Juliet formidable lespite opening-night jitters 'review L Steven Pappas Despite opening night jitters, the cast jnd crew of Romeo and Juliet, under j the direction of Department of Theaue and Dance Chairman Edgar A. Cyrus, i ve a formidable portrayal of William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy. Although certain moments throughout the production lagged, ipedfic scenes, characters and notable action carried the play fluidly. Romeo and Juliet were portrayed well as lovers. In some instances their pas- aon for one another was lost briefly, but an emphasis on their desire was por- trayed effectively. The audience fell in love with both characters during the famous “balcony scene” which contained an excellent series of leaps, bounds and fine acting by Ethan Strimling (Romeo). Juliet was believeable, although at times her emotion was lost. Elizabeth Moore (Juliet) carried her role well, depicting Juliet as very innocent, puerile and very much in love. James Walker (Mcrcutio), a profes- sional actor, shared true zeal and poise with his part. His delivery was excep- tional as Romeo’s high-strung comrade. Walker should be praised for his per- formance as should Grace Bauer (Nurse). Bauer was sensational. Her acting was very blunt and her style was evidently relaxed. Her character was well-worked and her emotion was “ perfect”. James Savoie (Benvolio) expressed his role with flamboyance and energy, especially in his scenes with Mercutio. These scenes and the well- choreographed fight scenes were eye- catching. The scene between Juliet and her father, a true turning point in the play, was very moving. Bill McDonough should be praised for his performance as Capulet. The friar’s moral stance in this pro- duction differed slightly from other pro- ductions. Traditionally, he helps the lovers disobey their parents, and then cops out in the end. In Cyrus’s edition, the friar practically sets all moral values aside and overdramatically confesses his scheme to unite the children. The scenery, designed by Wayne Mer- ritt, was visibly pleasing. The three- dimensional set included the entire stage in Hauck Auditorium. The stage itself was inclined at the top, descending slowly to the front, giv- ing an impression similar to the early Shakesperean theaters. (Hence, upstage and downstage.) The props were limited, but the per- manent balcony and gate maintained a captivating ambiguous balance. Symbolically, the set included an egg- shape upon the backdrop depicting the lovers’ endless “true love”. From the base of one end of the egg shot rays above the audience in various directions representing the straying away from the enemy families. The lighting, which is very important in Shakespeare’s productions, was very fluid and well calculated. The costumes were colorful and ap- propriately fitted. Lady Capulet wore a deep, regal purple garment, and Juliet an innocent pink or pure white, while Romeo wore a variety of vivacious col- ors as opposed to the Nurse’s banal yellow-brown appearance Cyrus had his actors use an American accent rather than the traditional Shakespearean accent which made the play easier to understand and more modem. Shakespeare’s words are as dif- ficult to speak as they are to read, but the cast carried the dialogue well, rare- ly stumbling over the prose. The action in many scenes was so spectacular that if the aaors had left out words, the story still would have been effective. The play’s most objectionable aspects were the common sexual innuendoes which the actors exaggerated. The passion between the lovers turn- ed fiat at times, only to be replaced with sexual descriptions or metaphors which might imply lust and promiscuity rather than true love. If Cyrus’s intentions were to create this situation, it is uncertain whether the connotations were taken as insulting, humorous or artistic. Overall, the production was a sincere, and yet different depiction of a truly classic story that can be easily mutilated. But in this case it was not. Folk musicians to perform Saturday Rush, Lavin, Taylor bring blend of ballads and blues to sold-out show at arts center Tom Rush Christine Lavin Livingston Taylor by Tammy Hartford Staff Writer Tom Rush, Livingston Taylor, and Christine Lavin will be bringing music of the ‘60s and early ‘70s to the Univer- sity of Maine in a sold-out concert Saturday night at the Maine Center for the Arts. The “Club 47” performance was named in honor of the Cambridge cof- fee house of the same name in which Rush first began his career as a folk singer. Rush was a student at Harvard University when he began performing at the Harvard Square club more than 27 years ago. Folk music was popular in the ‘60s and early ‘70s, but seemed to fade out as pop and rock music took over in the late ‘70s. Now there seems to be a resurgence in the popularity of folk music. Saturday's 8 p.m. performance at UMaine has been sold out for about six weeks, said Rolf Olsen, marketing and public relations director for the Maine Center for the Arts. “We probably could have had perfor- mances on both Friday and Saturday nights, and still be sold out,” Olsen said. A large number of UMaine students seem to be interested in the perfor- mance, Olsen said. “All of the tickets reserved for students were sold out very early,” be said. “None of the 480 student seats were left to be released to the general public. ” The performance will be a blend of ballads, blues and folk music, mixed with audience interaction. Rush introduced this format in sell- out concerts at Boston’s Symphony Hall in the early ‘80s. Taylor’s performance style also uses a great deal of audience interaction. Taylor, the brother of singer James Taylor, may have felt be was being over- shadowed by his older brother earlier in his career. The younger Taylor, though, also has made a name for himself. The Boston Music Awards recently named him the Outstanding Folk Acoustic Act. Lavin departs from the traditional seriousness of most folk music by using her unique humor to make the audience understand what it is to be a woman in the ‘80s. Although Saturday’s performance in the Hutchins Concert Hall is sold out, Olsen said scats may become available on the night of the show. Fifteen to 25 tickets may become available,” he said. Usually there arc some people who don’t show up, and those seats will be opened up for anyone who still wants to buy a ticket.” 142 A° a-j A P U 0 e.

' V‘ V� v A XWz £$ ££ ■ Gary Burton Quintet jazzes UMaine crowd by Capella Tucker Staff Writer Friday's cold weather didn’t cool the performance of the Gary Burton Quintet at the Maine Center for the Arts. The quintet opened its performance with a song written by Chick Corea titl- ed “P.M.” This piece featured brilliant solos by Donny McCaslin on tenor saxophone, and Gary Burton on vibraphone. Burton jokingly dedicated a song of religious quality to Jimmy Swraggart titl- ed “Why’d You Do It?”, written by- John Scofield. Accompanying Burton were: Marlin Richards, drums; Gildas Boclc, bass; Donny McCaslin. saxophone; Makoto Ozone, piano. The quintet performed several of Ozone’s newest compositions including ‘‘Bento Box” and “Times Like These. ” “Bento Box” showed Ozone’s masterful technical ability not only in playing but also in composing. The lat- ter had a romantic quality that lulled the audience. One of his pieces, titled “Kato’s Revenge,” was the result of a time when Burton locked Ozone in a room with a pir.no and would not let him out until he composed a piece. Ozone’s frustration of being confined to a piano showed in the wide range of dynamics and tantalizing articulation. The quintet entranced the audience during “Brazilia. The piece had a softer, gentler sound which featured Ozone on the piano and Burton on the vibraphone. The performance was well-rounded with the Quintet performing both older and newer songs, and the performers showed their individual musical capabilities. I left the concert hall with a smile, humming my favorite har- monics from the show under my breath. For the Love Students make University Singers by Debbie Dutton Staff Writer A deep love of choral music and a desire to perform are the main reasons that such a diverse group of students join the University Singers. Of the 64 students participating, 32 men and 32 women, 60 percent are not music majors. “Although I do get one credit, that is not why I do it. 1 do it for the love of music,” said Marielle Giles, stu- dent president of the group. Because there is such diversity in the group, Giles said that each year the singers change and everyone adds something different. Dennis Cox, choral director, said the singers often spend more time rehears- ing than anything else, and added, “that adds more sparkle to the group, because they are doing it as a vocation. ” The singers are a select group and must audition before they can become members. Cox said he hears more than 100 hopefuls and narrows it down to 64 people. Graduate student Michael Martin who sang with group five years as an undergraduate, said he returned to sing with the group after a two year absence because of his desire to perform. “The University Singers is the only choral ensemble that you can get pro- fessional experience with in Maine,” Manin said. “There are others in New England, but this is one of the best. ” Each year the group takes a one-week tour during spring break. They perform approximately 13 concerts, including performances for high schools, Univer- sity of Maine alumni and church groups. The singers focus on a major city with performances in the area and also per- form en route to their destination. In the past, the ensemble has visited Boston. New York City, Philadelphia and Mon- treal. This year, during spring break, the singers plan to center on Ottawa, but also plan to perform in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. “On our way down Interstate 95 we will hit as many high schools as possi- yr ---------- of Music one of New England’s best ble, Cox said. “Our last stop in the country will most likely be Burlington, Vt.” Last May, the singers went on a two- week tour of central Europe, which in- cluded Switzerland, West Germany, Austria, Italy and France. The group plans to return to Europe in three years and Cox said they plan to make the tour a tradition. The University Singers receive no money from the University of Maine. They hold fundraisers and pay dues in an effort to help fund their trips. “Our trips are mostly funded by ourselves because we want to per- form,” Giles said. I At _______ ____—-— Maine Masque triumphs wit by Lisa Cline Staff Writer “Blue Window,” a play by Craig Lucas, is like a puzzle, and the pieces of that puzzle fit together perfectly during Maine Masque’s production of the play. Solid performances by the ensemble cast add punch to the quick, sharp dialogue of Lucas’ play, a black comedy about the superficiality of society. The production will run through this weekend, March 31 to April 2, at the University of Maine’s Pavillion Theater. Since much of the action occurs simultaneously at five different loca- tions, the success of the play hinges on being able to combine the action to create a single image. This is accomplished under the direc- tion of Matt Antes. Ames successfully combines the talents of his cast members and makes them shine as one. The actors work to complement the performances of each other rather than try to upstage one another. In the part of Libby.

Her dramatic skills are at their best when she reveals the traumatic ex- perience which has left her unable to love or be loved. Flint Hutchinson as Griever, a close friend of Libby’s, may be guilty of slight over-indulgence in the opening act as he dances about the stage in a bathrobe to the sounds of Motown. But Hutchinson's high-energy perfor- mance adds a lot of spark and fun to the production. gu author played by is a borish, condescen- ded intellectual, a commendable job with lecharacter.

Rider,” an artifact Mali, West Africa, b included in the •° Kessaro village in African collection recently donated to the University of Maine by Andy Bean Staff Writer The Hudson Museum at the Univer- sity of Maine has received a donation of 25 African artifacts worth between $75,000 and $80,000 from Robert and Maurine Rothschild of New York City and Dark Harbor, Maine. The traditional pieces of wood, shell and ivory that date from the late 19th and early 20th centuries were on loan to the museum six months prior to the donation. The donation is the second in two years from the Rothchilds. The first was a collection of 13 pre-Hispanic, Mex- ican, and Central and South American artifacts that was donated in 1987. “The Rothschilds have taken an in- terest in this museum and in our African collection in particular, said Richard Emerick, director of the Hudson Museum. (The collection) was small to begin, but now we have significant additions in quality and quanity, ” he said. The Rothchilds arc knowledgeable collectors, Emerick said. Such tradi- tional pieces arc becoming increasingly hard to acquire because of the flood of tourist pieces. These arc truly representations of traditional African craftsmanship and art rather than ‘airport’ art turned out in mass quantity primarily as tourist items,” he said. Mrs. Rothschild said their purpose was to give the artifacts to a teaching museum to encourage other gifts. The Rothschilds said, Such artifacts help people understand civilizations and cultures beyond their own. Emerick said, The works connect viewers with the people who made them. People don’t like to feel isolated in time. This is a comforting link with the past.” The Rothschilds believe it is impor- tant to have well-represented collections for people who have limited access to museums, Emerick said. They began collecting the artifacts in the mid-1950s, long before African art became commercialized. The pieces were collected not only for their simplicity and beauty, but for their im- portance in the world of an and their influence on such movements as cubism. The ultimate achievement of primitive art is the very simple form, ” Mr. Rothschild said. The African artifacts arc on display on the second floor of the Maine Center for the Arts. 3� artifacts donated to UMaine Hudson Museum receives 25 pieces estimated to be worth $75,000 to $80,000 O’Riley performs recital witl by Jennifer Devlin Staff Writer Christopher O’Riley’s piano recital on Sunday was one not to be missed. The program began with Bach’s Par- tita No. 1. The Partita began softly, growing in- tensely. O’Riley’s fingers made the keys come to life. His hands glided over the keyboard smoothly, releasing magical notes of pleasure. Intrigued by his performance, the au- dience sat in awe, awaiting the next note, a remarkable note of sheer pleasure. O’Riley’s mastery of the keyboard could be well seen as he made the piano come alive; speaking in beautiful melodic tones. O’Riley’s hands raced along the keys, displaying his expertise of the piano. In Partita, each note started out softly as O’Riley continued to encourage it, helping it along, until it finally reached a magnificent crescendo. O’Riley addressed the audience before performing his second piece. “Schumann was the master of the short form, more famous for his short pieces — very melodic and fragmented. The Davidbundlertanze is 35 minutes long with 18 different pieces,” he said. Schumann’s second piece of David- bundlertanze. Innig, began with great ferocity. O’Riley wasted no time in help- ing the notes along in this piece. O’Riley’s hands commanded the keys, the keys responding in harsh deep tones which echoed throughout the concert hall, beckoning everyone’s attention. Part four was performed with breathtaking style. The notes would sound out a harsh tone, only to be echoed by a smooth one. The piece in- volved a series of transitions, from rapidly moving chords, to slow, gentle movements which sang musical themes. Gaspard dc la Nuit began with a quiet tinkling of the chords, like raindrops. Again O’Riley’s hands glided across the keys with effortless ease. This piece involved a series of crescen- dos; hands fluttering over the keys, ever so lightly, then, a crushing harsh beat on the piano, demanding everyone’s full attention. The piece then took on an eerie sound, like music often heard in the Phantom of the Opera. Quiet, soft chords were echoed with steady louder ones. The third portion of this piece began with a heavy vibrato note. It then jumped to a series of higher chords, the sound of which gave one the impression of icicles suspended from a cave.

I- The song “At Last was probably the j;}® song Cray sang all evening. With the spotlight focused only on him, Cray sang the slow song about a relationship ending. The crowd gave Cray and his band a standing ovation and chanted for more until they returned to the stage to sing the songs “Phone Booth” and “Nothin’ But a Woman. ” The only disappointing part of the show was Cray did not perform the song “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, ” which was awarded the Grammy for Best Blues Recording of a Single in March. Since the song’s title is also the title of his cur- rent tour, some audience members might have left wondering why it wasn’t performed. Cray and his band seemed to be suf- fering from their great touring schedule. They all seemed to be tired. Yet they still gave the audience the chance to see and hear great blues music performed live. The performance by the Robert Cray Band was absolutely outstanding and was definitely worth the price of a ticket. Ivan Neville and his band, The Room, opened for Cray and exhibited his style of music that can only be described as unique and original. Performing a song from his new album “If My Ancestors Can Sec Me Now, ” Neville bounced around the stage and talked with the crowd. Though the crowd was unresponsive to Neville at first, he warmed them up with his music by the end of his perfor- mance. Indian dancers dazzle audience by Joseph DcSalvo For the Campus On Friday night, the American Indian Dance Theater performed for a near- capacity crowd at the Maine Center for the Arts. American Indians representing several tribes from different regions perform- ed 16 different dances. Wearing the clothing of their tribes, the Indians per- formed a variety of dances, from tradi- tional ceremonial to modern dances that emphasized each tribe’s unique culture. Each dance was accompanied by music appropriate to the dance being performed: the steady rhythmic poun- ding of a skin drum accompanied a war dance. The Eagles, and the resonant chanting of a solo vocal gave thanks to the spriits responsible for water and food. Visual spectacle The visual spectacle of brightly- colored clothing decked with feathers, beads, animal bones and skins, and the aural sensations produced by the musical instruments and voices were enhanced by images and sounds of nature. Lights flashed as the dancers created larger-than-life shadows on a screen that spanned the length of the stage and the height of the theater. The recorded sounds of nature, a booming thunderclap, an eagle's shrill shriek, an elk’s gasking bellowing bugle, echoed through the auditorium, accen- tuating the type of dance being perform- ed and reminding the audience of the relationship with nature. While each dance had its function and special beauty, the more dramatic dances, particularly the Eagle Dance and the Hoop Dance, captivated the audience. The Eagle Dance was performed by three dancers whose legs, arms, and heads were fitted with eagle feathers. Lights shone directly on the dancers as they glided across the stage, creating spectacular shadows on the screen of eagles floating through the sky. The recording of a eagle’s screech fill- ed the auditorium and sent the au- dience’s imagination soaring to a height too lofty for language. The audience felt the dance. The Hoop Dance The Hoop Dance, which was per- formed by Eddie Swimmer, a champion hoop dancer, was easily the most athletic dance of the evening. While dancing in a circle, and without ever stopping or missing a step. Swim- mer picked up one hoop at a lime, step- ping in and out of the hoop then wrap- ping it around his body. He continued until he had picked up all the hoops, working in and out of them and fashion- ing them into a globe that surrounded his body. He then magically eased his way out of the globe, and held it above his head while he continued dancing in circles. The audience’s applause was deafen- ing, but the dance was not over. Soon several other dancers, each with a hoop in hand, joined in a large circle around Swimmer, who was still carry- ing the globe of hoops above his head. They and began dancing in a circle. The audience’s applause had waned but the effect created by Swimmer, the other dancers and the hoops was superbly choreographed and richly sym- bolic of Indian culture and vision. A less athletic dance but one impor- tant to Indian culture, particularly the cultures of the Southwest, was the Rain- bow Dance. A modern dance, which emphasized the agricultural culture of the Southwest Indians began as an elderly Indian woman circled the stage scattering seeds in the four directions of a compass. While the old woman sowed her corn, other Indian womens stood at various points on the stage with the pottery customary of Southwestern tribes atop their heads. Chester Mahooty’s steady drum beat and his moving chants and incantations accompaincd the dancers as they gave thanks to the spriit who provided them with seed and water. This sumbolic fer- tility dance might have been less physical than the other dancers, but it was just as moving. SEETHE ONE SHOW YOU’LL REMEMBER THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. ‘Musical’ perfection by Christina Koliandcr Staff Writer Members of the audience left the auditorium tapping their feet and humming tunes from the musical “42nd Street,” performed at the Maine Center for the Arts at the University of Maine this past weekend. Everyone involved in the musical can be considered a lead, since cast members danced and tapped their way around the stage to such favorites as “Lullaby of Broadway,” We’re In the Money” and the title song. “42nd Street. ” The story line is the genre of a play within a play. Peggy Sawyer, played by Mary Lou Barber, is from Allen- town, Pa., and has come to 42nd Street to find her fame and fortune on Broadway. Jonathan Beck Reed, in the part of director Julian Marsh, was by far the best actor. He is the one who gives Peggy her break in show business and must deal with the brash and deman- ding star of Pretty Lady.” Dorothy Brock, played by Cyndi Neal. Dorothy is accompanied to every rehearsal by her sugar daddy.” Abner Dillion. who has invested money in the play. The part of Dillion was played by the funny D. Anthony Jordane. Dorothy’s lover on the side was played by Richard Springle. During the dress rehearsal of “Pret- ty Lady, Dorothy breaks her ankle and blames Peggy. Furious. Julian fires Peggy. But he later realizes he can save his play from failure if he hires her back and has her play the lead. After 36 hours of rehearsing, Peggy gives a flawless performance, which proves to herself that she does belong on Broadway. The best aspect of the play was the tap dancing of the cast. It was clear the cast members were all accomplish- ed dancers and it was very impressive to see the choreography performed so well. While the female leads were danc- ed to perfection, their singing seem- ed to be strained and was disappoin- ting. Barber tap danced beautifully, yet the singing part seemed to be too high for her range. The 1940s costumes in the play were very colorful and looked historically accurate. The scene changes were flawless, with some songs continuing into the next one. There were many excellent and flawless scenes in the play, but best of all was the singing and dancing of the song We’re In the Money,” which was the finale of the first act. An obvious favorite of the crowd was the ensemble cast singing Lullaby of Broadway.” The au- dience clapped endlessly when the song was over. It seemed as if the people leaving Hutchins Concert Hall this weekend believed they could be like Peggy Sawyer. Maybe they too could make it on Broadway. ‘We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay!’ Feld Ballet just plain fun by Lisa Cline Staff Writer Fun. That’s the best word to describe Maine Masque's production of the Italian farce, We Won’t Pay! Wc Won’t Pay!” Those who attended the weekend pro- duction at Hauck Auditorium were treated to an evening of outrageous entertainment. Solid performances by the cast add- ed bite to playwright Dario Fo’s scathing indictment of the Italian government. The play details the exploits of two working-class couples as they struggle to overcome political and social strife in Italy during the turbulent 1970s, a time when rising inflation, food shortages and political corruption caused near anarchy in the country. Ranging from realism to vaudeville, Maine Masque’s production of the play effectively captured Fo’s irreverent ap- proach to authority. While each of the five cast members turned in strong performances, the strongest performance of all came from James Potry. Playing five separate roles, ranging from a flamboyant Italian playboy to a maniacal lieutenant in the secret police, Potry cxceled at each. The play was at its outlandish best when he was on stage. As Giovanni, a self-proclaimed law- abiding democratic asshole,” Josh Livcright was perfect. Liveright’s suc- cessful mixture of righteous pompocity and social naivete had the audience in stitches. In the part of Giovanni’s wife, An- tonia, Francesca Jellison proved her talent as a comic with her attempts to cope with the too-often muddled results of her constant scheming made for a tru- ly enjoyable performance. Liveright and Jellison worked well together as their outlandish exploits reminded one of a vintage I Love Lucy episode. Solid performances by Christopher Guillmct as Luigi and Susan Allen as Margherita rounded out the well-acted play. by Kandra Ayotte For the Campus Thursday night, the audience left the Maine Center for the Arts mesmerized by the incredible strength and beauty shown by the Feld Ballet Company. It was “Skara Brae, ” the final piece performed by the dancers, that made such a lasting impression and showed what can be done in the realm of dance. With its artistic creativity—the basis for the existence of dance as an art form— the dance was a portrayal of the neolithic time of 5000 years ago. Sleek white costumes with fades of gray adorned the bodies of the female dancers as they began the piece. Their formations were those of sheer simplici- ty, but with an air of uniqueness to pro- mote a theme of fascination in the audience. That theme revolved around the primitive time of the Stone Age, but 154 Company leaves lasting impression through the use of dance it became not a sense of artlessness, but one of unen- ding creativity. With the entrance of the male dancers into the piece, also wearing sleek white costumes, the female dancers formed two horizontal lines. Their movements were in seated straddles as if doing a sim- ple synchronized warm-up exercise. The beauty came with the male dancers pass- ing single-file like a procession through the two lines with heightened leaps of movement. The most captivating part of the en- tire piece was the tiny oriental female dancer amazingly positioned on top of a male dancer’s shoulders entering from stage right, halfway through the piece. She appeared to be weightless as she per- formed acrobatic movements with the help of her male counterpart. Also worthy of mention was the open- ing piece called “The Consort” set dur- ing the Elizabethan era. Much commendation goes to the costume designer of this piece and Eliot Feld, the choreographer, who make very interesting use of on-stage changes of costume. The piece never stopped while the female dancers gracefully tucked their full-length dresses up into above- the-knee length, and the male dancers nobly flung their caps from the stage. Also in need of mention were the two pieces performed in the middle of the program. The first was called “Asia” which was performed with a very beautiful oriental flair that reminded one of the exotic Chinese acrobats. The most memorable part of the perfor- mance was the four supporting dancers cradling the lead dancer in their legs as she lay horizontally stretched. “Kore, a solo piece, was a dancer’s portrayal of the Greek goddess, Persephone. It was an effective imagery of the radiant maiden of the spring and summer. The ballet company in review here is not one of the classical companies that is often present in a ballet concert. Eliot Feld’s dancers have spent the necessary years gaining technique and strength. They are now a company of ar- tistic expression and uniqueness...a dance company’s goal to success. The Feld Bailey Company’s performance Thurs- day night was simply an example of success. tickets available at the maine center for the arts ticket booth i Violent Femmes by Doug Vanderweide Staff Writer The first song on the new Violent Femmes album is “Nightmares.” How appropriate for their Monday night concert in the Pit. It was a nightmare for the security crew. You could see the panic in their faces, as about 1,500 boisterous fans forced the front of the crowd into the barrier that separated the masses from the stage. In fact, at one point the entire barrier moved about two feet to the left and about half a foot back. Quite a testament to the will of the crowd. Even more of a testament to the Femmes’ first-ever Maine performance. Monday night’s concert was a blowout. The crowd was rowdy coming in, and captivated going out. They lov- ed the Violent Femmes, and the Violent Femmes loved them back, with what should rightfully go down as the best show by a popular band ever put on at the University of Maine. If anything was noticably lacking, it was songs from the band’s second and third albums, “Hallowed Ground” and “The Blind Leading the Naked. ” Indeed, only five of the songs played in the entire performance were not from their latest album, “3,” or their first album, “The Violent Femmes.” Not that the crowd minded, though. Calls went up everywhere. “Kiss Off!” some shouted. “Add it Up!” some screamed. “Blister in the Sun!” Their calls were heard, and answered with thunder. Victor DeLorenzo was the driving force behind Monday flight's gig, poun- ding out Femmes classics on the drums with studio-like quality. DeLorenzo plays a small kit, and it is classic Femmes style for him to use a single snare for most songs, especially those from the band’s first album. The concert in the Pit was no excep- tion, with DeLorenzo marching around from his snare, to a tom-tom. to his full kit all night, without missing a beat. Gordon Gano was an awesome presence on stage. His guitar work lack- ed the strength of the studio, as one might expect, but his vocals were superb. Even his improvisations were powerful, whining with anticipation or snarling ferociously at the rambunctious crowd. The more energy he put into his delivery, the more the crowd wanted. By the time of the band’s encore, it was hysteria. The only disappointment to be found in the whole affair was Brian Ritchie's bass playing. Nowhere near as fast as the playing on any of the albums the Violent Femmes have released, and, in many cases, less accurate, Ritchie fail- ed to meet the level his cohorts were producing. But, again, not that the crowd mind- ed. This was a group of kids who could have had fun at an economics seminar. In fact, during the band’s encore per- formance of “Add it Up,” there was slam dancing at stage left, a fistfight at stage right, and lots of happy ears everywhere. They came to see a concert. UMaine’s best concert to date is what they got. 156 Student artwork highlights —i Carnegie exhibit i— by Steve Miliano Staff Writer As visitors walk through the front door of the University of Maine Museum of Art their attention is im- mediately grabbed by the different type of exhibit now on display. Unlike most exhibits, which feature a single theme or artistic medium, this display contains a wide variety of works. This display, “Vital Currents,” is the annual student art exhibit and con- tains only pieces done by UMaine students that have been selected by a panel of judges to be of outstanding quality. “There is some really different stuff in the exhibit, ” said Lisa Park, public relations assistant for the museum. She said there are more than 200 pieces in the exhibit. “I think (the diversity) is represen- tative of the students. Park said. “No two students are alike. ” Park said all submissions for the ex- hibits come from UMaine students who have been enrolled in art classes in the past year. They are “juried, ” or judg- ed, over a period of three days by facul- ty members and other art students. One piece that stands out is a soapstone sculpture titled “Madonna and Child. ” The piece is one of two created by Helena Bosse, a junior art education major from Milford. The mother of four children, Bosse said she had liked the protective feeling of a sculpture like “Madonna and Child.” “I wanted to do a ‘Madonna and Child and express (that) feeling, ” she said. Bosse said she chose soapstone as her artistic medium because it was easy to work with. “It’s a soft stone that is easier to sculpt than marble, ” she said. It lends itself well to detail. ” Bosse said she felt very proud” to have her work, which took about 200 hours to complete, included in the show. Amy Wilson, a junior majoring in art education and psychology, shared Bosse’s attitude. “It’s really quite a privilege to be chosen,” she said. “There's so much good stuff in (the exhibit). ” Wilson has two parts of a fourpiece series of charcoal and chalk drawings of Sunglasses on display. “It was part of an assignment for my drawing class. she said. “We were asked to take a small but interesting ob- ject and blow it up and make it more abstract. Wilson said she chose to use charcoal and chalk because she felt she would have more control over that medium. “You can be more contextual with charcoal and chalk, ” she said. “With a pencil, you can keep going over the same place, but it never really gets black. Charcoal really gives it the context that I wanted. ” Mark Nutt selected green ash as the medium for his sculpture, titled Un- dulation. ” By steaming the wood, he was able to mold it into the form he wanted. “1 wanted to work with steamed wood because I wanted to transcend the typical qualities of wood,” the senior studio art major said. “By steaming it, you can manipulate the wood in a way that is un- conventional. ” Park described the student exhibition as “a celebration of the entire art depart- ment, and said she considered this year’s show “one o£ the best” in the event’s long history.

Freshman Gary Crompton, a high school All-American.could land a starting position in the backficld. Another freshman, Mike Surber, will add reserve strength. Goalkeeper Todd Brennan, who compiled seven shut-outs and a very respectable 1.1 goals game aver- age last fall, returns for his junior sea- son. Freshman Joe Shaboo and trans- fer Jeff Clark will challenge Brennan as well as add depth in goal. Adding to the excitement of the Silver Anniversary Season will be the fact that the Black Bears will now be playing for a conference champion- ship for the first time since the dis- bandment of the old Yankee Confer- ence. The North Atlantic Conference begins its first year as a soccer league this fall. A challenging schedule, a young and optimistic team with lots of depth, and a conference championship to play for should ensure that Maine soccer fans have a great deal to look forward to in 1988. OUTLOOK FOR km The 1988 season will be the 25th year of soccer at the University of Maine. Head Coach Jim Dyer feels that the Silver Anniversary of Maine Soccer will be a particularly challeng- ing year for his Black Bears. Much of this challenge comes from the sched- ule. New additions Notre Dame. Syracuse, and Fairlcigh Dickinson, all nationally recognized programs.added to tough traditional New England ri- vals Boston University. Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont, make the 1988 slate arguably the toughest in school history. Add to this the fact that eleven of the nineteen games will be played on the road and the schedule becomes even more difficult. That this challenging sched- ule w'ill be faced by a very youthful squad is cause for further concern for Coach Dyer. Twenty of the twenty- eight players listed on the pre-season roster are either freshman or sopho- mores. However, fifteen lettermen do return and Dyer has produced winning seasons and successful teams before with young players. He knows that despite their youth, the present squad has the potential to be at least as suc- cessful as the regionally ranked Bears of recent years. Heading the 1988 squad will be senior captain Ben Spike. Spike had 12 goals and four assists from his forward position in 1987. good for 28 points and new single season records for both goals and points. Ben, an All- New England selection last fall, also holds career records for goals (26) and points (58). Spike will be helped at forward by the return of sophomore Scott Douglas, the second leading scorer in 1986, who sat out the entire 1987 season as a result of knee sur- gery. Douglas is a former first team high school All-American. Lending firepower to the attack will be junior Rob Brule and sophomores John Mello and Marshall White. Freshmen Mike Enos, Jeff Mazzatta, and Henry Rogan all have the potential to contribute offensively. The Bears should be solid in midfield as plenty of depth is existent.

ME Field Hockey 1988 MAINE FIELD HOCKEY OUTLOOK Maine will look to rebound from a disappointing 1987 campaign to once again be one of the strong teams in the Northeast Region. Fifth year head coach Jeri Waterhouse enters the sea- son with a 38-35-5 record at Maine. She led the Bears to the ECACchampi- onship in 1986 when the team went 15- 8 and was ranked as high as 11 th in the nation. Maine enters this season with 12 letterwinners returning from last year’s 6-10-4 team. This group will be joined by 12 freshmen. Waterhouse s largest recmitingclass. Although many of the freshmen are not yet ready to make a contribution, they w ill give the Bears tremendous depth. This year's schedule again will be national in scope with top opponents including North Carolina. New Hamp- shire. and Massachusetts. GOALIES This should be a position of strength for the Bears with standout sophomore Debbie McSweeney pro- jected as the No. I starter. McSweeney. who was I I with a 4.09 goals against average last season, has been a very pleasant surprise for Waterhouse. She was invited to the U.S. Olympic B” camp during the summer. The other goalies in camp are junior I.auren Sampson, who has some varsity experience, and freshman Re- becca Gibbs. DEFENSE The Maine defense isexpected to be anchored this year by junior in- captain Tracy Chesley and senior tri- captain Sandra Girard. Waterhouse expects strong contributions from sophomores Duffy Doiron and Amy Cornell. Senior Aca- demic All-American Kristen Gilbert is expected to sec action at sweep. ATTACK Senior NE Region Honorable Mention All-American Charlene Mar- tin-Chasse is one of the premier offen- sive players in New England. She will be joined by seven-goal scorer Anh Goldfme.

Anentirclynewslatcofcoaches, headed by formerOlympian Patricia Roberts, will take over the direction of the program: all except three home games will be played in the 5654-seat Bangor Auditorium. Fresh- men promise to play in important role in the fortunes of the Black Bears. The season will also mark the linal competition for Maine in the Seaboard Conference, as the Bears will join most members in moving to the ECAC’s North Atlantic Conference. Also missing from the Maine club for the first time in five years is three time Kodak District I All-American la Coffin, w ho has graduated and taken her basketball prowess to Europe to play professionally While the loss of Coffin, along will� last year's starting forward Debbie Duff and starting guard Jen Smart, leaves some major roles unsettled, the new coach- ing staff enters the campaign with optimism. One of the prime reasons for that optimism is the return of 6-0 sophomore forward Rachel Bouchard, a Freshman All-Ameri- can. who averaged 17.3 points a game and led the Bears in rebounding with an average of 11.5 per game, placing her 18th nation- ally in Division I. She also led the club with 42 blocked shots and figures to be the key to Maine's inside game this season. Another reason for optimism is the return of sparkplug guard Cathy lacon- eta. a 5-2 whirlwind who has all the attrib- ute'- required to run an up-tempo offense, something that the new coaching stal l would like to put into place, laconcta led the Bears in assists m her freshman year with 105 and plays hard-nosed defense. She averaged nearly seven points a game and can hit the outside shot. The third reason for optimism lies m the work ethic of the current squad. The willingness of the reluming players to pre- pare for the season with hard work has greatly impressed the new coaching staff, who see enthusiasm and dedication making up for some of the inexperience of not only the newcomers, but many of the returnees. While Bouchard and laconcta seem set as starters at their positions, the remainder of the starting posts are wide open. Kelly Nohen. a senior tii-captain. may gel the nod at a starting forward posi- tion. and Diane Nagle, the tallest player on the squad, could be a starter at center. Tlie other guard positionquite possibly will goto 6-0 senior Victoria Walras, who has re- lumed to the club after leaving school last year, or to a couple of freshmen: 5-6 Julie Bradsircct or 5-9 Carrie Goodhue. Two freshmen. Jessica Carpenter and Tracey Frenetic, will battle two return- ees. Kathy Cailsson and Elizabeth Sullivan, for spots on the forward line, while Tasha Koris and Jill McGregor, both of whom saw limited action last season, will contest Nagle for the center post. Frenetic is the first non Maine native to play on the Black Bear squad since the 1984-85 season. One of the most impressive can- didates in the pre-season practice sessions has been Julie Rradslreet. who played her high school basketball at Central Aroos- took. A Converse All-American honorable mention, she averaged 28.5 points a game as a senior, along with 12.8 rebounds. Her quickness and stamina make her a prime candidate for a starting guard position. Bradsircct. along with Carrie Goodhue and Jessica Carpenter, could help the Bears w ith their outside game to supple mem the inside scoring punch that will be provided by Bouchard. The departure of Liz Coffin leaves a considerable void, both offensively and defensively. Last season she led the team in scoring w ith 2d.

Mb ste.ils with 80. She was the second leading free throw shooter in the nation last season with an 88.3 accuracy mark. The loss of Debbie Duff, who led the club in three-point field goals with 11 m 24 attempts, takes the main outside scoring threat away. Bouchard’s status in the early part of the season is questionable as she is recovering from an ankle injury suffered last spring The other player graduating, who played a prominent part in the recent success of the Bears, was Crystal Cummings, who often filled the role of first player off the bench. She played in all 28 games last season, averaging 3.3 points and 2.4 re- bounds a game. Lack of experience and a very tough schedule that finds the Bears facing the likes of Duke. Virginia Commonwealth. University of San Diego, and Georgia Tech will pose some early problems for the Bear- under their new coaching staff. However, the Maine camp is confident that the 1988 89 contingent will continue the winning ways generated in the past six seasons Team Trainer: ALPHABETICAL ROSTER CL HT WT POS PREVIOUS SCHOOL HOMETOWN FR 5-10 175 G Vinalhaven HS Vinalhaven, ME SR 6-8 250 C Senegalese National Dakar, Senegal FR 6 8 227 F Cheverus High Old Orchard, ME SR 6-7 180 F Senegalese National Dakar, Senegal SR 5-11 165 G Watcrvillc High Watcrvillc, ME SR 6 3 210 G Sauk Valley Comm.

It marked the 26th consecutive season above .500 for the Black Bears. IvcMoyne College, the ECAC champion, ended the Black Bears' season with a 4-1 victory at New Britain, Conn., to win the ECAC title. Maine had coasted to the ECAC-New England crown, and the top seed in the tournament with a 14-1 regu- lar-season record. Freshman Mike D An- drea pitched the Black Bears to a 10-2 win over Monmouth in the first round of the ECAC playoffs, before Pace dealt Maine its first loss of the tour- nament. Ed Therrien pitched his most outstanding game of 1989, leading the Black Bears to a 3-1 win and the right to meet LeMoyne for the ECAC championship. Highlights of the sea- son included Mike D'Andrea's 4-3 victor)' over Miami, a 15- game win streak in the middle of the season, a 9-8 victory over UCLA and the ECAC-New England crown. Following the ECAC playoffs, two Black Bears en- tered the professional ranks, as Colin Ryan, drafted by the Kansas City Royals reported to their Eugene (Ore.) single-A affiliate, and Mike LeBJanc, a Seattle Mariners' draft choice, went to Bellingham, Wash., of the Northwest A League. The post-season acco- lades customarily associated with University of Maine base- ball followed the end of the season. Freshman Brian Seguin, seniors LeBlanc, Ryan, and Don Hutchinson, and sopho- more Mark Sweeney, were named ECAC All-Stars. Sweeney, who hit .376 during the season, set a New' England Division I record with 22 doubles. He also hit safely in 18-consecutive games. LeBlanc, Maine’s career save leader, set the New Eng- land mark for saves with 12 in 1989. and 25 for his career.- MAINE BLACK BEARS Maine OWL W L Pitcher of Record 11 Texas 22 L Hannon (0-1) 1 Illinois 11 L Novio (0-1) 3 Illinois 7 L Taylor (0-1) 2 Pan American 3 L Therrien (0-1) 13 Arkansas State 5 W D Andrea (1 0 9 Arkansas State 1 W Burlingame (1 -0 0 Pan American 3 L Dillon (0 1) 1 Central Michigan 3 L Novio (0-2) 4 Central Michigan 2 VV Tavlor (11) 4 Wake Forest 8 L Therrien (0-2) 5 Texas A M 6 L LcRIanc (0-1) 2 Iowa 5 L Burlingame (1-1 7 Kentucky 8 L Dillon (0-2) 14 Iowa 12 VV Higgins (10) 4 Kentucky 6 L Thernen (0-3) 4 Texas A M 16 L Taylor (1-2) 1 .Alabama 6 L D'Andrea (1-1) 5 .Alabama 2 W Burlingame (2-1) 1 Miami 8 L Dillon (0 3) 5 Florida International 6 L Thomas (0-1) 0 Miami 2 L Therrien (0-4) 4 Miami 3 W D'Andrea (2-1) 2 Florida Atlantic 8 L Taylor (1-3) 5 Seton Hall 9 L Thernen (0 5) 7 Seton Hall 3 W Thomas (1-1) 7 New York Tech 5 W Burlingame (3-1) 3 New York Tech (8) 5 L D'Andrea (2-2) 9 New York Tech 3 W Dillon (1-3) 9 Northeastern 2 VV Thernen (1-5) 6 Northeastern 5 VV LcBlanc (1-1) 2 Northeastern 0 VV D'Andrea (3-2) 10 Hanford 9 VV Dillon (2-3) 15 Hanford 6 VV D'Andrea (4-2) 5 Hanford 0 VV Burlingame (4 1) 5 Husson College 0 VV Thomas (1-0) 8 Husson College 0 w Dillon (3-3) 18 Rhode Island 2 VV Therrien (2-5) 8 New Hampshire 1 VV D'Andrea (5-2) 6 New Hampshire 4 VV Dillon (4-3) 18 New Hampshire 9 VV Hannon (1-1) 3 Colby 1 w Taylor (2 3) 5 St. Joseph's 1 VV Therrien (3-5) 0 Southern Maine 1 L D'Andrea (5-3) 7 Southern Maine 4 w Burlingame (5-1) 5 Dartmouth 8 L Novio (0-3) 5 Vermont 3 w Burlingame (6-1) 8 Vermont 2 w Thomas (3-1) 12 Vermont 4 w D'Andrea (6-3) 4 Central Connecticut 2 w LcBlanc (2-1) 6 Central Connecticut 7 L Hannon 1-2) 4 Central Connecticut 1 VV Novio (13) 0 UCLA 1 L D'Andrea (6-4) 9 UCLA 8 VV IxrBlanc (3-1) 3 UCLA 6 L Therrien (3-6) 10 •Monmouth 2 VV D'Andrea (7-4) 4 •Pace 8 L Burlingame (6-2) 3 •C.W.
