That was 150 years ago when the Allen brothers, August and John, decided to own a small town. General Sam Houston rarely stumbled across a glass bottle, much less a glass building, when he roamed the landscape, fighting for independence from Mexico, which his Texas army won on April 12. 1836 at the Battle of San Jacinto. He was elected President of Texas and Houston was the capitol of that Republic from 1837-1840. The sight Houston was founded on was ideal for marketing farm livestock because shallow-draft river boats could easily travel Buffalo Bayou to the Gulf of Mexico. The race was on when oil was discovered at Spindlctop in southeast Texas in 1901. Buffalo Bayou became the path of the Houston Ship Channel in 1914. Medical technology and space technology soon followed. Now with over iVi million people in the Houston area, a car for an employee at NASA or the Medical Center costs considerably more than what the Allen Brothers bought the city for on August 30, 1836. 2 4 LIM4M I------ Ir- Third Ward, TX.

Any of you currently living on campus and wishing to get an apartment in west Houston, pay close attention. In the Houston area, 439 miles of a 1,071 mile freeway system are completed — construction ahead. Vehicle miles travelled in Harris County totalled 19.4 billion miles in 1985. The average travelled daily per vehicle was 24 miles. Westhcimer averaged over 69,000 vehicles per weekday. 110,000 vehicles passed through the intersection of Hillcroft and Westhcimer per weekday. The average monthly cost for a student to operate a new car is $466 and a used car, $276. So take the bus. METRO runs 744 busses daily covering 108 routes. They carry 253.925 passengers daily, serving an area of 1,275 square miles (the state of Rhode Island is 1,049 square miles). Will Houston ever get a rail system? — Will we ever fly around in cars like the Jetsons? For now, two hours or more of the day can be wasted, creeping along on the freeway. 6 The Contents The 10 Issues The 40 University The Playing Fields 8 The Closing The Community The Issues s ijmissni k®' «s«fiarjL •ii During the 1986-87 school year, UH students had to contend with the following annoyances: UH Chancellor Richard Van Horn changed his name to President Van Horn. Apartheid still remained the cornerstone of South African domestic policy. Both the Super Bowl and the World Series were won by awesome teams from New York. Texas unemployment soared. The drinking age was raised to 21. Gasoline prices dropped to 59 a gallon. Oral Roberts claimed that the good Lord would take his life he failed to raise $4.5 million. 12 The new moderation reigned supreme: people were drinking less, smoking not at all, and only having sex with permanent partners. Bill Clements handily defeated incumbant Mark White in a nasty governor's race that touched on everything except the issues. After the death of college basketball star Len Bias, cocaine abuse — specifically crack abuse — became the biggest media scare since herpes. The Texas Department of Corrections was at one time releasing as many as 500 prisoners a week early due to overcrowding. The White House almost fell apart as Iran-scam rocked the National Security Council nearly to its foundation. Ronald Reagan, the country's first Teflon president, escaped remarkably unscathed. UH Budget Advisory Council proposed to eliminate the College of Technology and the Department of Human Resources and Consumer Sciences. Students were only mildly outraged. Essentially the feeling on campus was that the whole world was going to hell in a handbag. 13 It is the prescription for anarchy in a democratic society.” Louis Stokes Senator, Ohio A Student's State of the Union Address. Today's col lege generation will probably be remembered by political historians as the passive generation. The generation that grew up watching television through the late seventies and early eighties offers little in political motivation. One obvious reason for the great drought of political awareness is that this generation developed on the heels of a most embarrassing fiasco — Watergate — that is best remembered for having crowded out daytime TV programming for months. With the networks airing the Watergate hearings, and no cable TV to turn to, children of the seventies developed a great frustration with politics. Most of them have little or no rcmemberancc of life before Watergate. The turbulant sixties is dry-textbook material for most college students who not only take for granted, but cannot possibly remember the intense changes of that time period. While nearly everyone feels they have the right to observe a holiday in honor of Martin Luther King, most fail to recognize the value of the Civil Rights Movement. In only a few short years in history, the American public has gone from civil rights marches to the assassination of Martin Luther King, and from the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald. the John F. Kennedy assassinator, to protests of the Vietnam War, and from Watergate to an obsession with Arbi-tron ratings. In a crucial time period when world affairs are esculating at a dangerous rate, college students u limes are likely to remember the changing of the Coca-Cola formula or the entangled lives on Dallas as the issues of our time. Coca-Cola received more media coverage as people became angered over the elimination of the original formula Coke than the U.S. government did when the military overran the tiny island of Grenada. Public protest was able to bring back a worldwide commercial product, but it is very unlikely that the public could detour U.S. involvement in a global conflict. That is evident by the public attitude towards the Iran-Contra hearings. People were disturbed. mostly because the hearings interrupted the afternoon soaps. But the American public soon found an American hero in Oliver North for his noble television presence during the hearings. And even with such blatant foreshadowing, the American public generally accepts. without question, our role in the Persian Gulf. The American people hesitate to make any connection between the six percent of our oil that we defend as it is shipped through the Persian Gulf, while other countries relax, and the unemployment in our own oilfields that contributed to our weak economy. Another major oversight on the part of the American people is FI Salvador. While a military advisor was killed there in April, a scene reminesccnt of Vietnam. the American people were preoccupied with Jim's sexual preferences and Tammy's makeup obsession in the PTL scandal. The people once again went with the best television plot. Television is clearly the major source of information in this Country — that's nothing new. The print media hangs on for the fact that it doesn't offer music videos, making it acceptable for waiting rooms and public transportation. And radio survives, fearful of the day when automobiles can steer themselves, leaving the driver free to watch TV on the way to school or work or to visit relatives in Oregon. But even as everything adopts itself to television (big screen movies on VHS for example), television is continually evolving. Now, when the President addresses the nation on the major networks, people can turn to a channel that offers music videos, a channel that offers Jesus, or even a channel that offers commercials (home shopping network). For the most part, people don't want to see the President on TV. People consider politics to be deceptive and. while television is only as deceptive as the audience allows it to be. they expect TV to be safe and noncommittal. When CBS aired 'Our World , a program that chronicled the events that have led up to the world we live in, the program which featured Linda Kl-lerbe could not stand up against the fantasy-like ''Cosby Show''. But safe television programming dates back to Father Knows Best and Leave It to Beaver. The difference being that in the sixties, people placed more value on their own individual thoughts and attitudes and weren't afraid to deviate from the traditional TV roles. People demonstrated against Vietnam and the drSft, while others gladly went to war in patriotic style. Even while the masses of that generation were screaming for the Beatles, they were more self-aware than the Madonna generation of today, of which one young Madonna (fan) said, We want to express our individuality. On college campuses in the sixties, students took action against things they didn't like, and strongly supported things they did like. Today, people even seem apathetic towards their own interests and values. Where people used to protest the demoralization of their values, or stand up for their beliefs, they now hide out in fear that someone will point a Finger at the quasi-liberal minds. For better or worse, society is more tolerant of things like living together, inter-racial relationships and divorce than it was in the sixties. Not that people have become more open-minded, but certainly more submissive. People are less likely to speak out against actions they dislike. Most people don't bother to involve themselves in a political or social conversation. In order to spark a small amount of interest in a discussion, political science professors generally begin with, Did you see on TV ... Television seems to dictate the topic of the day. And even then a large amount of students would just assume watch it on TV and sleep through it in class. So political science professors have a difficult time raising any interest in subjects that aren't in the media. While there are many concurrent issues, the media has to be selective. Some issues sell better than others. Some issues are technical and boring. And some issues are distasteful to the general public. The media will thrive on an issue only until the sellable angles are exhausted and people begin to lose interest. President Nixon was probably more heavily scrutinized than any president of today will be. certainly for his role in Watergate. President Reagan has gained very little recognition for his role, or lack of, in the similar Iran-Contra Affair. Issues which arc complex in nature have very little audience. Even as the public has been presented with an entire slate of issues which arc directly or indirectly related — Afganistan, F.l Salvador, Nicaragua, Cuba, South Africa, Phillipincs. Bcr-uit. Iran. Iraq, and so on — the scope is too broad for most to bother with. It is easy to get an impression through the media, and accept that the United States government is working for the good of us all. And at the same time it is easy to overlook the humanistic issues and practicality behind nuclear arms, imperialism, investments in businesses that exploit people around the world and so on. Oddly enough, as people in this country feel they have achieved a free and liberated society, where people are free to chose their practices, people neglect to understand the implications of the future, the weakening class structure, the steadily rising poverty line, the endless wastefulness and the lack of hope for a large portion of our population including many college graduates. It seems as if history is working in reverse. Rights for individuals have taken the place of two cars in every garage, we are leaving behind a political scandal, going into a war and slipping back into a depression. So. while it is important to enforce individual rights for all across the board, the right to be free from political thought is actually a denial of freedom — if not for today, then for the future. — Mark Lacy is The Black Student Union and the Students Association collaborated to build this town house.

'inn UH Will Divest By 1990 In a unanimous vote, the UH Board of Regents decided to rid itself of $6.4 million worth of Stock in firms doing business in South Africa, making UH the first university in Texas to divest. The previous policy adopted by the regents in 1985 restricted business to companies that signed the Sullivan Principles. The resolution, which calls for complete divestiture in two years, was greeted with applause from a group of activists. In the fall of 1985, the Students Association passed a resolution calling for divestment, while in the fall of 1986, a bill was passed to reject the Sullivan Principles and to divest. The bill was signed by UH President Richard Van Horn in December and presented to the Board of Regents. The spirit of the resolution is clear about business: Don’t invest in companies that do business there,” Mark Greene, of Students Against Apartheid, said. Greene said the regents have done more in six months than most universitites have done in a year. He also said this was a big step for improving minority recruitment and retention. This just shows that UH stands as a university of first class,” he said. Divestment Plan Okayed First In Texas Universities Arthur Shaw of the Free South Africa Movement said this resolution is stronger than those passed by universities in the Northeast and West. People are following UH s superconductivity work, and now the rest of the nation’s universities will follow in divestment policy,” Shaw said. University officials echoed the sentiments of the advocates, saying that it was a matter of duty.” In the region of civil rights and civil liberties, the resolution says that people should become more responsible fiscally, UH Regent Xavier Lemond said. UH Chancellor Wilbur Meier said, It s a responsible position to take. — Mark Evangelista It happened while nobody was looking.

Bill Hobby says Texans will be unable to compete for jobs in the future unless community support for public school reform continues. “It is critical now to ensure that our budget crisis doesn’t become an excuse to repeal school reform, he told area educators at the UH Hilton. Our state faces a $6 billion gap between expected revenues and proposed spending levels. Public school spending is about 50 percent of our budget. Education may be expensive, but it is not a luxury. Texas needs strong support for its universities as well as elementary and secondary schools, he said. By the year 2000, almost one-quarter of all jobs will require some college edcuation. Hobby said in an interview that UH shouldn’t feel threatened by the Select Committee on Higher Education s proposal for regional university boards. For Reform There seems to be a level of concern, (for UH’s future) that is out of phase with any realistic problem, he said. I don’t sec any particular advantage in having regional boards, and it will certainly never happen. The committee s recommendations would not change the role of state universities, he said. UH, UT-Dallas and other universities have equal opportunity to become major research institutions, because universities, not legislatures, determine their own fates. Hobby said. UT-Dallas attracts an enormous amount of research dollars — perhaps more than UH does — not because they are treated differently by the appropriations bill, but because of the excellence of the university, he said. UH is a major public institution in one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country, and it will in time come to re- — Or Else fleet that. Hobby said the legislative Budget Board appointed by Gov. Bill Clements has recommended a a $671 million education budget that would bring education funds back to the 1985 level and repair the damage of previous cuts. He said taxes will be raised to fund the increase, but he declined to speculate on the type or amount of tax that would be used. Hobby said the select committee’s recommendations wouldn’t change the status of UT or Texas A M because only they have access to the Permanent University Fund. Clements' recommendations for higher education include tapping the PUF for research and other programs. But Hobby said the PUF battle was fought last summer. The attempt to raise the funds didn’t go anywhere,” he said. Things haven't changed. However, Hobby said, that’s not the only source of funds. UH’s costs are offset by the Higher Education Fund (Proposition 2), and UH has access to construction money not available to A M and UT. You can’t have 57 world-class universities. If UH wants to become a first-class research institution, it should attract the researchers. UH or any other institution has to earn the research fund, Hobby said. A university must develop its skills and excellence, and then come the funds. Hobby was at UH to address a conference, sponsored by the Center for Public Policy, on the consequences of House Bill 72. On that subject, he said he regretted that the public school reform got its impetus outside the educational community. It is disappointing that the initiative for HB 72 came largely from our business community,” he said. Our teachers and administrators should be out front demanding higher achievement, rather than taking refuge in the status quo. Positive effects of school reform included better Scholastic Aptitude Test scores, uniform measures of academic achievement for students, evaluation of teachers’ performance based on statewide standards, and increased state aid per student to $1,579 in 1986 from $1,515 in 1985, he said. High school graduates are not, however, prepared to compete with progressive countries such as Japan or even old-fashioned Russians,” Hobby said. Our dropout rate is far too high when one-third of our ninth-graders don’t finish high school and nearly one-fifth of adults haven't finished junior high school. — James Millsap Lt. Governor Bill Hobby has taken a strong stand in favor of higher education, UH President Richard Van Horn said. At left Hobby addresses the special session of the legislature in Austin during the 1986 budget crisis. The State's decision to cut 10.5 percent from its higher education budget can mean big set-backs for UH, including vacant teaching positions, smaller variety of classes and possibly the elemination of entire degree programs.

The legislature agreed to cut $510 million from higher education, a figure that translates to a loss of about $8.2 million for UH, said Peter Fitzgerald, vice president for administration. A plan has already been drawn up to take care of about $6 million in cuts, but more reductions will have to be made to reach the $8.2 million level. Fitzgerald said. The presidents at each component of the UH System will be holding meetings to determine methods for making budgets meet the legislatures figures. They will report to the Board of Regents, Chairwoman Debbie Hanna said. President Richard Van Horn said the figure is somewhat more than expected, more than we hoped for.” Hanna, however, said she considers the 10.5 percent cut a victory. “I never thought the day Budget troubles forced Gov. Mark White to call for a series of Cuts in the spring of ‘86. As if to blame White for the crisis. Texas voters elected Bill Clements Governor in November. Clements said he will raise the education budget to $671 million, its 198S level. would come when I would consider cuts in the 10 percent range a victory, but now I do, Hanna said. The university system and its components were facing deep and devastating cuts.” Van Horn said the real damage will come in 1988. In 88 we ll have to cut the programs back the full 10 percent, if it appears that no new funds will come to the university- The House-Senate conference committee voted 9-1 to accept the bill to cut the $2.8 billion state budget, but some cleanup work still has to be done. We already have a plan, but it would be premature to determine how the exact figures will impact us, Fitzgerald, said. UH met Gov. Mark White s call for cuts in Spring 1986 with freezes on hiring and capital expenditures like construction, savings in utilties, travel restrictions and the doubling of parking fees. In addition, campus depart-ments were asked to cut 3 percent from their operating bud-gets. Van Horn said he expected UH's appropriation to be cut by 9 percent, which is $7.2 million of the original appropriation of $80 million. The Senate originally proposed an overall 7 percent cut of $117.6 million to higher education in Texas. The contrasting House cut was for 18.5 percent, or $320.) million. UH's $80 million share of the appropriation would have been cut by $6 million under the Senate proposal and by $16 million under the House proposal. 22 — Kristin Jacobsen Richard Murray On Politics And Gambling The term politician is often given to those officials tolerated by the public, while the title of statesman is reserved for admired public servants. Nevertheless, politicians and statesmen sometimes seek advice from political analysts such as Richard Wayne Murray, UH professor of political science. The Who's Who of American Men and Women of Social and Behavioral Sciences barely gives readers a clue about the expertise of Murray. It simply reads Research: Party Politics in the U.S.”. But for a political science teacher, Murray wears a variety of hats: analyst, prognosticator, lecturer, writer, adviser, speaker and poker player. Poker player? Yes, and a serious one, Murray said. Serious enough to lose |600 in one evening.” Murray is the same relaxed, unassuming fellow whether he's lecturing a freshman government class, speaking to a women's political club or chatting in his office. But Murray is also recognized as a leading authority of city and state politics in Texas. A regular guest of KPRC's Channel 2 during election returns, Murray predicts election results like a professional billard player setting up his shots in a tournament — one at a time and with deliberate skill. He cites facts on political candidates like some television broadcasters zip through sports statistics. Murray predicted last year that the Select Committee on Higher Educations' recommendation to establish a multitiered system for state universities wouldn't survive in the Texas Legislature. Several months before university officials drew their swords for battle, he predicted, Universities see this as a holy war and will die in the trenches before they allow it to become law. Murray also labeled Committee Chairman Templeton's short-lived idea to move Texas Southern University to the UH-Downtown campus as a plan from Mars. Thirty days later, the Houston community loudly echoed Murray's response. Political reporters are familiar with Murray's colorful descriptions of politicians' rhetorical skills. He shows no apparent allegiance to one party and any candidate is fair game for potshots. Regarding last year's governor's race, White's slick media image didn't compensate for his fatal mistake of passing major educational reform and leaving Texas teachers in the dark. Clements, however, isn't very effective with the media. It's like having your drunken brother-in-law over at the house for dinner when the preacher stops in for a visit. You hope he doesn't embarrass you.” Murray is also quite fond of commenting on the local media's attempt to interpret political events. Very few television stations have reporters that arc politically knowlegcablc, he said. Houston stations arc afraid to analyze political events. In their zealous attempt to give a balanced view, they usually say nothing! As project director for the annual Houston Metropolitan Area Survey, Murray provides public policy makers with snapshots of the city's lifestyle, including job opportunities, government services, public transportation and crime problems, based on local residents' attitudes. A survey, in some sense, is a snapshot, he said. Attitudes are always changing. If you have a series of snapshots, you can see the change of residents' attitudes over time. Survey respondents are also quizzed on solving the state's current financial crisis. They rate the acceptability of cutting state programs, raising taxes, establishing a state lottery or legalizing pari-mutual betting. Murray said the percentage of supporters from previous surveys indicate that Texans will legalize race betting on horses and dogs this November. Houston will be important because the mayoral election will be on the same day and there will be heavy voting, he said. Proponents ought to carry the day. Time will tell if Murray hits the bull's eye again, but he knows that any poker player would rather be lucky than good, any day.” — James Millsap Texan complained of fuel price approaching $1.90 per gallon, but a the value of a barrel of oil declined from 1985 to '86 they were unemployed. 23 AIDS continues to be a Critical topic, such as on Channel 2'$ Evening News with Anchorman Ron Stone, along with other local and national news programs. But a large saturation of problems in the world today seems to have dulled the viewing public's senses. To many. AIDS is just another foreign crisis. AIDS Else 5 Aids is rapidly becoming the biggest threat to our planet, taking the lead in a neck and neck race with topics such as nuclear war and the ozone layer. While world leaders with a killing power 100 times over are able to discuss controlling nuclear weapons. AIDS is a much more abstract killer. Nuclear weapons have quantities and capabilities and are manufactured making them negotiable (even in theory). AIDS has become the great equalizer. No country desires it, nor can stop Someone Problem? its spread. Even countries like the Soviet Union, where controls are tight, arc stepping forward and admitting to a wide spread AIDS problem. Scientists believe that one out of every thirty males in the U.S. carries the disease, or its virus, making containment out of the question and a desperately needed vaccine the only answer. While ignorance of the situation can be found nearly everywhere, one has to wonder how politics may play a part in the race to find a cure. The AIDS virus was formally discovered in 1983- But it can be traced to deaths occuring before 1981. The number of cases has escalated yearly since then. By the end of the 1986-87 school year, the AIDS virus has accounted for nearly 21,000 deaths in the U.S. in seven years. The first International AIDS Conference didn't occur until 1985 in Atlanta. Georgia. In June of 1987. there was still ignorance of the disease at the Third International AIDS Conference in Washington, D.C. — an ignorance that will only continue to inflate controversy. Vice President George Bush was heckled as he read a list of the President s proposed safety measures to prevent the spread of AIDS in the U.S., a list that included mandatory testing for all immigrants into the country. He turned, believing that the microphone was off, and said, Who was that, some gay group out there? . A very elitist attitude tends to surface in serious discussions about AIDS, but the 6,000 scientists present at the convention didn't find the plan to contain the disease, while overlooking the real need for a cure, to be very funny. Many social economic groups have the misconception that AIDS is something for other types of people to be concerned about. College students are guilty of this belief. While AIDS has been report- Unpleasant As It Is: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome ed among only 75 college students, the actual number is expected to be higher. Because the incubation period for the disease is from three months to five years, there will be many more cases surfacing. The bottom line is that a casual occur-ance which required little thought, may become a fatal mistake. But still the ignorance exists among college students. Fraternities across the nation have been known to ridicule the AIDS disease for a party theme. Most white middle class Americans have the attitude that their sexual practices are invincible. They tend to believe that their partner, no matter how casual or committed, could not possible carry a sexually transmitted disease. Ironically, many of these people who feel secure around others of their own stereotype, share outrageous myths about ways of contracting the disease. Some falsely believe the disease can be passed on by being in the presence of a person with AIDS. And some falsely believe they will get AIDS if they touch a homosexual. While others have even more ridiculous notions about the disease. The truth of the matter is that the virus which causes AIDS is spread from one person's blood or body fluid to that of another. It is not transmitted through the air, nor can the virus live on any dry surface, including healthy skin. It is primarily spread through sexual contact of any kind, or through intravenous drug use. It is not like many other diseases or unplanned pregnancy, however. A person can carry the virus for an undetermined amount of time, and continue to pass it on, undetected. — Mark Lacy Intravenous drug users arc among the high risk groups that make up 91 percent of the 36,000 reported AIDS cases, along with male homosexuals and bisexuals. But AIDS can strike people of all races, males and females, young and old, and even children. It is estimated that 15 million people in the U.S. carry the virus. Because of the scare, some people are ordering a straw with their drink when they go out. While there are many myths about AIDS, it is nor a myth that heterosexuals can contract the disease the same as people in high risk groups. Four percent of 36.000 reported AIDS cases arc heterosexuals. That number is expected to increase drastically over the next 10-15 years. Some facts about AIDS as we understand them. They are not 100 percent conclusive. • There is not a test for AIDS. There is a test to determine if a person has been infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) sometime in the past. It is estimated that 25-50 percent of persons infected with the HIV will dcvelopc AIDS, and an additional 25-30 percent will develope a less severe illness. It is uncertain why some infected with the HIV will develope AIDS and some will not. • Pregnant women who are infected with the HIV may pass the virus on to their unborn children. • Once infected, the virus may persist in the blood and body fluids, and can be passed on, for many years and possibly for life. • A person cannot contract AIDS by donating blood. • A person can develope AIDS even five years or more after being exposed to the virus. • The virus can be passed from female to male during intercourse, though it is more commonly passed from male to female or male to male. • In five years, health officials estimate that 270,000 Americans will have AIDS, an almost certain death for many of them. • There are no known drugs that will cure AIDS. While many universities and public schools are taking on the responsibility of sex education, some radical groups Continue to spread myths about the Something To Be Concerned About It‘s more than the average student with a job wired on caffine during finals.

Casey Jones you better watch your speed. Trouble ahead, trouble behind ...” Maybe I should've paid more attention to the lyrics, or maybe 1 just should have paid more attention. I knew I hadn't seen that guy around the apartment before, but I was more intent on catching a buzz than finding out who he was. What did I care. I'd scored and that was all that mattered. Now it was time to crank up the stereo, take a few tokes and get my head together. All I could think about as I turned up the Dead was that this rock better be worth the trouble I had gone through to get it. As I began the ritual of carefully loading my pipe, I prepared myself for the first blast. It had been almost a day since I had scored any coke. The first hit scorched my throat and burned all the way to the bottom of my lungs, but I didn't care because I knew that by the second or third toke, my throat would be too numb to feel the pain, and besides. I was getting used to it. I held that first hit in my lungs as long as I could, the buzz began about the same time. I closed my eyes and tilted my head back enjoying the spinning sensation in my head and the tingling feeling in my fingers and toes. It was like all the troubles in the world had been lifted off my shoulders, as if by magic. I didn't have a care in the world, and I sure didn't feel like dealing with reality, so I took another toke. I was just about finished with that bowl when I thought I heard someone at the door. Come on in, the door's open,” (and the party's just getting started. I thought). The door didn't move. 1 thought it's probably just someone walking down the hall. My friends haven't been around in a while. So I load up another bowl and, I'm lighting up when, WHAM! The door comes crashing open, and in walks the guy I saw in the hall, and two cops. What the hell?” Shut up and get your hands up.” You can't come in here! 'You're under arrest.” You can't do that! You've gotta have a warrant or something! I know my rights!

Then they put me in a holding tank with this worthless drunk who smells like he hasn't had a bath in a month. What the hell am I going to do? I've got one call, but I can't afford bail. I spent my last dime on coke. How am I going to explain this to my ole man? He thinks I'm spending all my money at the frat house. Dad's going to hit the roof when he finds out, and what if he finds out this isn't the first time. As the DEA kept a firm hold on drug trafficking in Florida, drug trade over the 2.000 mile border between the U.S. and Mexico increased. And that means the drug supply in Houston was never greater. The Houston Police Dept, routinely raids crack houses where crack or rock”, a potentially deadly form of cocaine is manufactured from poppy. After a raid on a crack house in the vicinity of UH, the police spray painted Go ahead, make my day across the front as a warning to others waiting to be busted. All of these things, even happening less than a mile from campus, seem distant until it happens to someone close to you. The hazards of cocaine become real when a friend drops out of school or can't cope with everyday life because of a love I really will, say no-to-drugs, says Jim Mclngvale. a local advertiser. Local news personalities are in on it too. MTV, with their R.A.D. (Rock Against Drugs) campaign, is a part of the effort. They are all part of a massive anti-drug campaign. First Lady Nancy Reagan, in her War on Drugs, uses the slogan, Say no to drugs, which was developed by the UH Social Psychology Bchavioral Medicine Research Group. Directed by Professor Richard Evans, the group originally developed the say no strategy to use against cigarette smoking among teenagers. Realizing the similarities that make teens sue-ceptable to peer pressure, the strategy was expanded to fight hate relationship with the drug. And it gets worse — that person stands a good chance of dying. Yet. the drug industry is thriving. Media attention soared when twenty-two year old I.en Bias, a basketball player at the University of Maryland with a promising future, died of cocaine intoxication in June '86. He was just one in a long line of stars that have been victims of its deadly pleasure. Ex-football star Mercury Morris now does public service commercials encouraging kids to not wreck their lives with drugs the way he did. New York Mets' pitcher Dwight Gooden checked into a chemical dependencies rehabilitation center. Two Rockets players. Mitchell Wiggins and Lewis Lloyd were banned from the NBA for using cocaine. And when celebrities die from an overdose like John Belushi, books about their problematic lives become best sellers. But as actors and athletes continue to ruin their careers and their lives, they continue to glamourize the use of drugs — making profits for dealers better than ever. drug and alcohol addiction. Richard Evans, however, feels that this is not enough. And so, for the group, which is supported by a grant from the National Cancer Institute, a huge task lies ahead. 77 As the many conflicts surrounding Iran. Iraq. Kuwait, the Soviet Union, the United States, and many others. are constantly in the news. Americans are willing to forget their troubles at home, but the U.S. government fails to take a well guided approach to world problems. As the Soviet Union is willing to support countries in need, such as Nicaragua, with food and medical supplies, the U.S. reacts with arms and ammunition. Americans remain fearful of the communist plot. At War Around The World As Anti-American Sentiments Are Up The U.S. Continues To Meddle In Foreign Affairs I don't recall seeing Oliver North on TV. I don't deny watching the Iran-Contra Hearings. But I do understand that Oliver North diverted funds to the Contras from profits raised by selling arms to Iran. And that Oliver North was responsible for coordinating the Grenada invasion, the bombing of Tripoli and ran the Contra War from the White House with the belief that his superior Admiral Poindexter had the approval of President Reagan. Amidst growing concern over military actions, the United States continues to defend the free world against communism with military might. De- mocracy around the world is symbolized by the U.S. Marine Corps, war jets flying overhead and destroyers stationed on the coast. And hatred for Americans continues to spread throughout the world. But here at home, the government perceives our role to be the world police. Many scare} plots arc handed down from righteous leaders, dating back to Manifest Destiny. One of these is the Strategic Defense Initiative (a contradition in terms), which is designed to give the U.S. first strike in the event of communist aggression, by means such as Star Wars.' And more popular is the Domino Theory in which, one by one. the Latin countries will fall to communism and eventually so will the U.S. unless we take steps to prevent it. These righteous leaders believe that Nicaragua is the key to preventing the spread of communism to North America. The government and the media have made Americans more fearful of communism than ever. In our homes, on the evening news, Americans hear about the death squads in El 1 Salvador and car bombs in the 28 Middle Fast. From a safe distance, Americans speculate that the communists are behind the problems of the world, but would be appalled and refuse to think that the U.S. promotes this kind of senseless killing by its actions in places like Nicaragua, FI Salvador and South Africa. Many Americans continue to believe it is up to us to make the world safe for democracy, and at the same time, they become immune to the realities in the world and even fail to take notice of our problems at home. While the U.S. holds on to the old idea that a strong military that is visible throughout the world will protect our homeland, other countries have found another defense — economics. The Japanese receive 50% of their oil through the Persian Gulf, Western Europe 26% and the U.S. 6%. But when Iran threatened the transporting of oil through the gulf, the U.S. was quick to send in the mili-tary. While the Japanese are concerned because they need the oil for plastic products, they have an economic strength greater than military might. The U.S. on the other hand, continues to spend millions on a military that is nearly obsolete. We have a massive unemployment rate in our own oilfields. And our policies at home have made the traditional American farmer nearly extinct. The U.S. government is primarily concerned with big business and by this we have stretched capito-lism to new limits — in the constant struggle for bigger profits and more productivity, big businesses have taken manufacturing out of American hands and into inferior countries where labor is cheap and regulations are few. While the economic growth of those countries is stifled, corporate leaders see it as more of a business deal than a human rights issue. In short, we import goods that American corporations produce at low costs in foreign countries and then sell them to American people in a country where inflation and unemployment is up and the usefulness of a high standard of luxuries is down. But as long as upper class Americans continue to see profits, they will remain blind to the sinking foundation of the middle class. With unemployment and the lower class expanding in the U.S., the military industry has reached its highest point since World War II. The ever present threat of communism keeps funding of the military on the increase. So, while countries like Japan and West Germany surpass the U.S. in technology exports, the U.S. remains the world leader in missile exports. And the U.S. continues to come into conflict with other countries' business in every part of the world. — Mark Lacy Three old men squabble over a cheap bottle of liquor in ihe heart of our nation's capttol.

More than 100,000 people showed up for the march and rally which were the high point of the Mobilization for Justice and Peace in Central American and Southern Africa, April 1987. The group assembled on the Ellipse, a large oval of manicured grass between the Washington Monument and the White House. Beneath gray skies, they lis- tened to speakers for labor and religious organizations. They listened to a politician or two. And they listened to advocates for gays and lesbians, native americans. senior citizens, the homeless, Central Americans, black South Africans, Middle East Peace, and democracy in the Phillipincs. There was music too. Bands from Africa and Latin America. But the sound that most captivated the crowd of old, young, middle-aged, black, white and brown people was the music of Peter, Paul and Mary. Music that was written in the sixties, for a movement that was trying to end a war. The crowd seemed to know-all the words, and the rain did not dampen their singing, or their spirits. As the music ended, people looked for their place in line. They were ready to march. Religious and labor groups led the way, followed by student and peace groups. They marched out of the Ellipse, around the White House and down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capital. If you stood and watched the marchers go by, you would have been there for over an hour. You would have seen thousands of signs and banners from all over the nation, and Students and faculty were among the more than 100,000 demonstrators calling for public awareness of the issues in Central America and South Africa.

He spent eight days last summer touring Nicaragua. The reason I went (to the mobilization) was out of a sense of commitment that there are too many people on college campuses who are not doing enough to get involved in what is happening with the foreign policy of the United States. I absolutely think that college campuses have a responsibility to do that kind of thing ... to perform a critical function within society. ... I would like to see students at UH become more interested in what our government is doing in Central America and South Africa ... I wish that more young people would take seriously the question of where United Stares foreign policy is going, and what the implications may be for the youth of this country. Mary Winzig. at top. i$ a University of Texas student who worked closely with the UH delegation to make the Mobilization a success. She will continue to work to unite people of all walks of life against current US policies in Central America and South Africa. you would have heard hundreds of chants and slogans. Chants like money for jobs — not for war — U.S. out of F.l Salvador, or Ronald Reagan, he's no good — send him back to Hollywood. At the Capital, protestors gathered to hear more than a dozen speeches. They listened to a bishop from Detroit, a rabbi from New York, an evangelical Lutheran from South Africa, and a priest who is president of Jesuit University of Nicaragua. They listened to Jesse Jackson, of the National Rainbow Coalition, and to actor Ed Asncr. They listened to a representative from the African National Congress, the president of the National Organization for Women, and a repre- sentative from Co-Madres, a group of mothers of disappeared and murdered children from El Salvador. When speeches were over, the crowd listened to the popular music of Jackson Brown, the Andean music of Rumisonko, and Reggae of Peter Boggs and Front Yard. That night the UH delegation went to a huge, old church in downtown D.C. where they joined a packed house that had come to hear a presentation called Iran Contragate: The Untold Story.” The presentation was given by Daniel Sheehan, an attorney for the Christie Institute. The Christie Institute describes itself as an interfaith, public interest, law and public U Angela Sanbrano was on (he National Steering Committe for the Mobilization. She is also the National Coordinator for the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador. . . . One hundred thousand people have died in Central America in six years and, given the size of the population in this country, there are relatively few people involved in actively opposing the policy. This is why (the mobilization) is so exciting. It shows that there is a beginning of a movement. That is why the media is portraying this by saying that is looks like the sixties, because public opinion in this country was very polarized. People are beginning to realize the implications of the U.S. being in a war over there — that it not only affects the people in Central America, but it affects us here. Yssa Guerrero is a junior history major and member of the UH Committee in Solidarity with the people of El Salvador. In January (1987) I went to visit the University ol PI Salvador. I was invited by a student association there. They were reaching out to other students and trying to tell them what it was like to be a student in PI Salvador. Pspecially at the University ol PI Salvador, because that's the university that the majority of people in the country go to. It's the university of the poor. They were telling us about faculty who had disappeared or been killed. Students have also been assassinated. The week before we came, the military had come to outside of the university and just sprayed it with bullets. The week after we left, one ol the students was shot and killed while studying near the economics building. He was shot in the back several times. policy center specializing in comprehensive investigations, assertive legal work, and public education. It was founded by the legal team that handled the Karen Silkwood case. From a small office, overcrowded with stacks of paper, and located in an old part of town, the Institute is investigating a group of men that they say have conducted assassinations for the CIA since the Cuban revolution. The Institute publicly charged this group of men, who they say ran the Cuban mob that flourished under Baptista, with importing drugs into the U.S. to help finance the contra war in Nicaragua, and with planting a bomb at a press conference called by ex-contra Eden Pastora. Pastora survived the blast, but several international journalists were killed. Sheehan found a receptive audience as he called for this Secret Team from the darkest cracks of American foreign policy to be brought to justice. The next big event of the mobilization was a demonstration at CIA headquarters in I.angley, Virginia. It was five a.m. on Monday when the UH delegation joined hundreds of other people in the chilled air of downtown D.C., where they loaded onto busses. They watched the sun rise over the Potomac River as the buses made the short trip to Virginia. About 1,000 people went, and half of them knew ahead of time that they would probably be arrested. The protestors planned to use their bodies to block the CIA's gates and, if possible, to disrupt the agency's business routine for at least a short time. The I'll delegation stayed on the w«K ded slope next to the gate. Organizers of the protest had obtained a permit which allowed for a legal assembly on the slope None of the delegation were arrested, but from their position behind police lines they shouted encouragement to more than MX) people who crossed those lines to sit in the road. Most of those who were ar- Continued )i rested sat in a tight group in front of the main gate. Although a Fairfax County Police spokesperson said they had 300 officers at the scene, it took almost three hours for the gate to be clea-ed. Officers in shiny riot helmets would drag or carry protesters away from the huddled and singing group, bind their wrists behind their backs with disposable plastic cuffs, and load them into waiting paddywagons. After the demonstration, several people from the UH delegation went back to the Capital, the center of American political power. They spent their last hours in Washington trying a more traditional approach to changing public policy. They lobbied their congressmen. As a member of the national steering committee for the mobilization, Angela Sanbrano played an important role in organizing the three day affair. She said the mobilization was part of a process that has been going on for more than eight years, and that it brought together many different sectors that have been working to change U.S. foreign policy. Sanbrano said, this shows that there is a unified conception of what we want, which is peaceful solutions to the con-fiict. She said the next big fight for the policy protestors would be to try and stop U.S. funding of the Contras and to stop military aid to the governments of HI Salvador and Guatemala. Sanbrano also called for the demilitarization of Honduras. We want the U.S. to dismantle all its military bases in Honduras and we want them to stop sending in the National Guard.” Sanbrano said the death of a U.S. military advisor in El Salvador in April is an indication of the level of U.S. intervention in that country's war. It is the beginning of another Viet Nam-type war where the North American youth will be coming home in body bags.” —Daniel Alder 4 Veterans March On D.C. On a rainy Veterans' Day eve, Viet Nam vets marched to the White House and around the mall to the Veterans' Memorial. There they remembered the names of thousands of fellow soldiers, inscribed on the wall, who died in hellish places like the Mekong Delta. But ca-moflage clad, bearing flags, the vets had a different mission in mind: to call for further investigation by the State Department into the fate of servicemen listed as missing in action. The marchers established the last fire base in front of the Lincoln Memorial to help free MIAs they believe may still be alive in Southeast Asia. Some police officers supported the marchers by carrying small POW MIA flags. Photos by Mttk Lacy. Revolution in the 80’s — Go for it!” was the message delivered by a group protesting the mini-series ‘'Amerika.” which aired in February on ABC. The Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade handed out literature in front of the Satellite. They pointed out that the charge that this country was built on the genocide of the native people of the land, is depicted in the 14 hour series as Soviet propaganda. They further compare that charge to the current situation in Nicaragua where the U.S. is combating Communism with covert activities. No Business As Usual, a group dedicated to heading off World War III, also took part in the Amerika'’ protest.

Photos by Mark Luker. 36 In October, Jane Diakeddy, a traditional Dine (Navajo) elder from Big Mountain charged, in a translation by her son, that the white man’s lust for coal and uranium is tantamount to genocide of the traditional people of the land. She was speak • ing of the abundant minerals which exist in the Four Corners region where the U.S. government is interested in the valuable ore. Biakeddy, who was on a tour of colleges around the nation trying to stop forced relocation of 14,000 Navajo Indians, addressed a small crowd in front of the Satellite about the conflict which has divided the Hopi and Navajo people. She reported, in her native language, that the two nations, along with other peaceful indians, lived in harmony for hundreds of years before the white man's exploitation of the land and people. Biakeddy and her delegation delivered the message that the Dine (Navajo) Nation is committed to resisting relocation plans and that they will remain on Big Mountain, just north of the Hopi reservation. The Hopis are in agreement with Dine efforts to prevent a land dispute. The Hopis also realize that the Navajo reservation, which surrounds the Hopi reservation in northeast Arizona. has served as a buffer between the Hopis and the rest of the United States. They also regard the Navajo reservation as the last line of defense. 37 J8 Religion — Seriously. When bigtime TV religion combines the power of God with human greed, a media circus ensues. Jim and Tammy Bakker became the most sensational topic of the spring of '87, more sensational than any governmental actions or world issues. The ongoing scandal that rocked PTL seemed to make a mockery of media priorities, and brought much deserved scrutiny to TV evangelism. As heavyweights in the industry, Jim and Tammy were king and queen of an empire, one that would crumble before the public's eyes. Jim Bakker told Ted Kopple on ABC News Nightline in May. The story seems to get bigger and bigger. At the same time Tammy Bakker realized that they were probably on every magazine cover in the country, except Modern Bride. Jerry Falwell of the Moral Majority has held a press conference the previous day to discuss allegations that Jim, in an attempt to make Tammy Faye jealous, had had sex with 19-year-old Jessica Hahn, along with two other men from the PTL Ministries. Also on the one and a half hour conference carried live on CNN, Falwell read a list of desires from Jim and Tammy for their service to PTL ( Praise the Lord ), a list that included: $300,000 annual salary for life for Jim Bakker, $100,000 annual salary for life for Tammy Bakker, two cars, a maid for one year, attorney's fees for IRS problems, lakehouse and furniture, and hospitalization insurance. When Kopple asked what Jim Bakker wanted, he replied, I don't want anything God doesn’t want.” To save PTL from enormous debt, an auction was held under the directive of Falwell. Up for bids were an air-conditioned dog house, gold faucets and numerous eccentric items purchased by Tammy Faye. She told Ted Kopple. I am well known for my shopping ... it's kind of a hobby to help my nerves. The Bakkers were reportedly paid $1.9 million for one year. While being interviewed live on ABC, Jim Bakker explained, We re a tad flamboyant. But the scandal continues. And Jim and Tammy, without a ministry, without a theme park and without a TV show, haven't yet found their place in the world. In the mean time, PTL, embarrassed, struggles to regain financial stability, and respectability. The University Sam Diadone's house, the one he built more than 50 years ago, is still much like it was before the University of Houston and the fast food restaurants took over the neighborhood. Full of antiques, oddities, and things, the Diadone home on Cullen Boulevard isn't just an ordinary, white, two story house you can see on any old street. A step inside the front door is no less than a trip back in time. Each piece of stained glass, old bottle or sign has a story Diadone is glad to tell. Sam Diadone, the man who for 80 years hasn't wanted to Fish, hunt or play golf, decided long ago that his passion would be collecting anything old and interesting. But it was by accident that his home ended up as full as it is. Diadone faced hard times when he began a neon sign shop over 50 years ago. At the time, I didn't even have enough money to buy a hamburger, he says. I was dating my wife, Cc-cile, and she would have to buy it for me. Diadonc's fortune, however, slowly changed. A local plumber had ordered a sign, but was unable to pay for it. Instead, he offered Diadone a 1930 Model A sedan for the work. From that he eventu -ally built a fleet of 30 antique cars before selling them to Judge Roy Hofheinz. Sam’s passion for antiques led to a friendship with Hofheinz, who stopped by the Diadone house one day in the '60s when he saw antiques in the front yard. The judge knocked, went in, liked what he saw and offered to buy it all. Diadone then decided to hand his sign shop down to his son-in-law so that he could begin buying antiques for Hofheinz on a full-time basis. The seed was planted. Being a very ardent collector of antiques, there was no stopping me,” he says. I sacrificed every penny that my company made. Spitting on the floors: Diadone's passion for collecting, however, wasn't limited to cars. Over the years, his house has filled up with numerous collections and has evolved into a kind of museaum. The trip through time begins upon entering his house. Diadone pauses to point out his favorite collections — old whiskey bottles, a prized Jim Beam Bottle that dates back to 1900, old buttons, cut glass. He pauses by a glass case and reaches in to take out what looks like a hollow glass goat horn. This is a limousine vase. Every morning, the chauffeur would put fresh cut flowers in it for the lady of the house. The vase was attatched to the side rear-view mirror.” Sam restored most of the antiques in the house himself. And the many signs indicate that it's the only place in town where a T-bone steak still sells for 63 Sam Daidone 2814 Cullen Houston, TX. 77004 cents a pound, potatoes are 39 cents for 10 pounds and bread is 31 cents a loaf. Beside these old general store specials arc advertisements, posters and signs from long ago. One sign boasts, Taxi — Reduced Rates 35 cents Anywhere in the Old City limits — ABC Taxi.” Another sign warns, Spitting on the Floors or Walls Prohibited By Order of the Board of Health.” In yet another corner of the room, No Dogs or Sailors arc Allowed on Grass. Along the side of one wall, on a dusty table sits Diadone's beer bottle collection. He holds up a can of Billy Beer and then looks over to a can of Gilley's beer. Neither of these beers is any good, Diadone says. Some people think just because it has their name on it makes it a good beer. He picks up a bottle of Grand Prize beer. Howard Hughes made this beer right here in Houston on Polk Street. It wasn’t any good, but the bottles are worth about $8 apiece. Golfing pants and a matching vest with a bold tie from the roaring '20s drape an antique chair, as if they were never put away after they were worn. Cobwebs have taken over an old scale and are creeping over to an antique sewing machine that looks only a few years removed from needles and thread. Nearby are old maps of Texas where Harris County is written bigger than Houston, an old mousetrap that would have drowned its victims, and the Houston Daily Post dated April 18, 1901 that boldly declares on its front page: Briton Loses Ground, The Unrest Continues. Nothing at all: Sam walks to another corner of the house and picks up a piece of thick, round glass that used to be a part of a car. This is a lense from a Rick-enbacker, a car named after the 45 World War I fighter pilot who came in second to the Red Baron in kills. Rickenbacker later became involved in car racing, Sam says. Someone suggested that he build a car in his name. It didn't sell much. The next stop is another table filled with ceramics with a touch of Europe. This is called the Copa De Monte. It means 'top of the mountain' in Italian, Diadone says. They had a secret way of mixing beautiful pastel colors. To protect their secret, they built a workshop on top of a mountain so they could see anyone who was coming.” Moving to an engraved china cabinet, Diadone takes out a piece of gold china. This belonged to a bishop about 200 years ago. It was hand painted in 24-karat gold and each piece has a different hand painted cameo on it. Surveying his relics, Diadone admits that he wouldn't advise anyone to start collecting. If I were them, I wouldn't because dealers and collectors have just about bought up the cream of the crop — the most desirable antiques you can find. What you used to be able to buy for $15 now costs $150. With changing prices come changing times. Ten years ago, Sam received a letter from UH offering him money for his 44 property, which includes six rent houses. Ironically, his house was in the way of progress. Diadone wrote the Board of Regents and argued that they were trying to buy his property for nothing at all.” Sam eventually agreed to sell his property, however, on the condition that UH not take it over for 10 years. Diadone has about six years before he must move out. But Sam and Cecile don’t mind, really. He figures they’ll just take a few of the prize possessions and buy a smaller house somewhere. And maybe start all over. — Colleen Kobrzynski. 4$ Homecoming, not Domecoming, was a popular phrase leading up to the Homecoming game. Because of the playoff situation for the Houston Astros, it appeared the Cougars would have to play on the grass field at Robertson.

To the founders of the Aquarian Society, the New Age meant a future time of world peace under the direction of a one-world government. Idealistically, if there were only one governmental power in the world, there could be no war. As the leader of the government. Lucifer (yes, the fallen angel of Genesis) would create an earthly kingdom that he would rule. Aquarians, the true New Agers, do not equate Lucifer and Satan as the same being. Instead, they see Satan as an abstract force of evil in the world and Lucifer as the giver of knowledge, one who can make men as gods, as he promised F.ve in the Garden. Most Aquarians believe in the history recorded in Genesis of the fall of man, but do not believe in the Biblical view that Lucifer intended on destroying man for his own benefit. They believe Lucifer desires only to help mankind. Over the course of the last century, since the founding of the Aquarian Society, the concept of a New Age has changed. The average New Ager is one who holds a humanistic view of mans' progression to a god-like state through promoting world peace and love to fellow man. They usually include one or more mystical systems in their beliefs such as astrology or Transendental Meditation. The popular slogan, Visualize World Peace. is a New Age ideal as well as the goal of ending world hun-g«r- However, the average present-day New Ager usually does not believe in Lucifer, but does hold that Satan is a term used to describe the evil in the world. These themes arc illustrated in the original New Age music through chants, dreamy melodies. etc. Recently a new form of music. a cross between speed metal and industrial noise, is creating a scene of its own. And they call it New Age. however blasphemous to the original ideals of the Aquarians. Worshipping Satan instead of Lucifer, and only slightly resembling the true New Age music in its droning, the inconsistency is probably an attempt to ridicule the conservative Christians' suspicions that the New Age fulfills Biblical prophecies of the apocalypse. Or even more likely, it is an attempt to ridicule the media's sensationalization of heavy metal satanic cults. Whatever the goal, the means is big amplifiers, smoke and haze and bizarre stage antics. A true New Ager would simply die at the sight of it. From the first mic check, sssix-sssix-sssix. to their final echoing of satan -satan-satan, an open-minded person can find the sarcasm humorous, while a television crew in search of a story could have a field day. So. whether the New Age holds Luciferic commitment, enlightenment of God through Jesus Christ, or post-hardcore music, are you ready? — Darrell Hutto S6 Leading the way in a new tradition that mocks classical cultural ideals and the current satanic cult'' media scare, Austin's Butthole Surfers continue to mesmerize and astound their audiences. Combining dreamy repetitious sound with the echoing of satan, satan, satan. ... in a local theater, and with visuals such as fog, bizarre lighting, a film of gory highway accidents, and a go-go dancer, the band achieved its post-hardcorc post-new age stature. Photos by Mtrk Luker. 57 Austin Thomerson sits in his 16th floor dorm room in the North Tower, overlooking the vast Houston skyline, and dreams of being a rock god. In his dream, he would be the opening act for Satan in the sold out Astrodome. Flash pods would be pointed at the audi-encc, and so on. But he would settle for a show in the Coffee House. Then one day, while tuning one of his guitars, an idea hit him — mix together a pop disco demo tape and see if the Program Board would go for it. With enough amplifier power to hold the North Tower hostage. he felt confident that his evil scheme would work. And so he masterminded the Danny Bonaduce Soul Explosion. With his Towers cronies in the band, they were slated to open a show for NoID, a local club band. And preceeding DBSE was Schlong Weasel, from the Quad. Thus began weeks of coniving and practicing in the Towers basement. With lead singer and Honors' student Tom Carter, the Schlong Weasel set ripped, driving metal fans wild. But the DBSE set left nothing to be desired. A prelude of sirens signaled the beginning while fog poured into the air. Songs about living on campus comprised the first part of the set, the highlight of which was Dorm Food, and original cover of Wild Thing. Journey with the Hell Sisters made the transition into the latter half of the set. The band disappeared in the fog. Having lost only one amplifier to Austin stabbing it repeated!’ with a guitar neck, the wall of sound seemed to come from every point in the room. Mesmerizing the audience. Austin proceeded to play a solo, that included Wipe Out. on the cello. The band was surprised that the audience, having never seen anything quite so mysterious, was receiving their music, (Austin calls it New Age for lack of a better word) and enjoying it. One fan tore open his shirt as Austin played a guitar solo on his chest. And the band was even more surprised that they hadn't been shut down as they cranked out anti-Program ik ard lyrics and continually raised the volume in true Spinal Tap form. They finally ended with Durge, including several members from Schlong Weasel and a guest appearance from Brian Fcr. When it was over, the crowd seemed hypnotized as it looked for the door. The Coffee House became an empty sound chamber for the headline band as most figured nothing could top what they had just seen. Sam Lewis said. The all-star jam was really awsome, while others reacted more ambiguously. Minette Cashore, emotionally drained said. It was too periolous. I wanted to leave, but I couldn't. With Austin Thomerson on guitar and the demonic cello,” Jon Carr on vocals and skull-on-a-Kick,” Tom Carter on guitar and John Aden on drums, the band named after ex-Partnge Family member Danny Bonaduce, captivated an audience of 100 in the Coffee House.

But you can find them hard at work late in the evening, from the lithography studio to the computer terminal to the law library. The Urban Animals have become a large diverse organization — a far cry from the tight-knit group of the early eighties. They are best known for roaming the downtown streets at night and practicing their roller skating stunts in the desolate parking garages. Their big public display is the semi-annual UA Joust where members don roadwar-rior-like costumes and take the medieval art of jousting to the streets. The three-fall elimination competitions take place in the fall at the Westheimer Arts Festival and in the spring at the Houston Festival. Although the events are not sanctioned by the festivals, there has been much less resistance to the jousts in recent years because the protective gear and rules of fair play have produced an excellent safety record. By witnessing the full impact of jousting however, it would seem impossible. 60 Skate Tough Or Die The costumes arc showy bur the protective knee pads and ominous looking face masks made from football helmets or welders masks are a necessity. Photos by Ihttcll Hutto. Though there are fewer women than men who try to prove their strength and agility on skates, the competition is equally fierce. Photo below inside by John Schwab.

Many believe however, that in actuality, it is a regression. As a freshman and even going on sophomore, most students have a happy stupid attitude toward the process of attending the University. Standing in lines, waiting for an available teller and trying to find a parking space all seem like part of the routine. But with experience, students try to beat the system. Priority Registration is convenient. Buying books the third week of school is easy. Hey, why don't I not get a parking sticker and pay for the tickets with the money I save. By the junior year, it all catches up. Car gets 76 towed. Can’t cash a check. No grades because of overdue library books. Name on the stop roster permanently. Seniors usually get those problems resolved with swiftness and accuracy, 6-8 weeks. Concurrently, a new set of problems arises. File for graduation. Forgot to take the Writing Proficiency Exam. Can t get freshman government course need to fulfill requirement. Student begins to realize that maybe things could be better. So now, well educated in the probable likelyhood of beaurocratic occurances. the student begins his second year as a senior — no longer as part of a massive body, but as part of an elite group. The student now knows not to go to class, but to argue about the grade later. The chances of getting an A are better that way. Suddenly on the Dean’s list and vowing to never drive on 1-45 again, the student is graduated and told the diploma is in the mail. The student now is ready to face being overbillcd by the electric company, being charged for calls to Libya by the phone company and pay back that $15,000 Guaranteed Student Loan. And so, the game of life begins right herein one of the University’s many administrative offices and waiting lounges. 77 The Monotony Many people are saddened or angered at the caged life Shasta V has lived for seven years.

UH's Vice Chancellor For Student Affairs. Since the end of World War II, the University of Houston has experienced a positive trend of growth, expansion and development while much of the surrounding community has experienced a different type of change. At UH, new buildings have sprung up to serve the increasing number of students who seem hardly to notice the beau -tiful fountains and numerous sculptures as they walk between class. Across Scott Stcet, in the neighborhood that has come to be known as the Third Ward, many of the buildings are windowless, boarded up. empty. The people are plagued by crack houses that operate almost unmolested by the city's police. The streets are full of potholes, and garbage piles up in vacant lots. Many of the children drop out of school before they are old enough to realize its importance. While UH seems to have largely ignored its neighbors, in recent years concerns about the institution's image, and its ability to get students to live on campus have focused some attention on Third Ward's problems. It has become obvious that those problems are affecting UH, and administration officials have taken an interest in improving some of those conditions. But many Third Ward residents view UH’s concern with mistrust and suspicion. Social and economic factors that have historically divided the two entities today present formidable obstacles to the establishment of a working relationship. UH seems faced with the question: What kind of neighbors are we? Paul Moore, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, said that UH is very interested in devel- oping better communications with the surrounding community. We are always looking for opportunities to improve conversation. The real issue is probably, have we had enough to produce the optimum relationship? And the answer, 1 think, is no. But I believe that there is an interest and a will to improve that. As a sociologist at Texas Southern University, Dr. Robert Bullard is familiar with attitudes held by Third Ward residents He said, Many people don't see any relationship between the University of Houston and the community. They know that UH is on the other side of Scott Street, but Scott Street is a line of demarkation and we all know it. Unnecessary Friction: One of the reasons this lint of demarkation exists is economic According to the 1980 census, more than 50 percent of the households in the three census tracts bordering UH on Scott Street had an annual income of 80 less than $8,500. But Third Ward cannot be accurately described in terms of poverty. Dr. Naomi Lcdc heads TSU's Urban Resources Center, and is a Metro board members. She said, Third Ward is probably one of the few neighborhoods in Houston where you have an abmixture of classes, from the very lowest to the upper middle classes. She said some of Houston's wealthiest black citizens live in Third Ward. In explaining the social distance between UH and Third Ward, Lede noted, The majority of the residents in the Third Ward arc of a different color from UH. UH does not mirror the community in which it is located and that creates a problem of interaction and a problem of communication. The psychological distance between UH and the Third Ward was high-lighted by an image survey UH had done in the summer of 1985. The survey results prompted Houston Post columnist Lynn Ashby to write, UH has just received a damning report on how it is perceived in the community. Ashby went on to say, The location of the campus is about the worst place in Houston for a school, and the athletic program gives everyone the idea that the school is made up mostly of blacks. This kind of publicity, Lede said, creates an unnecessary friction between UH and the community. She said, That would tell you — ’we are not part of the Third Ward community, the Third Ward community is black. ' That is racism,” Bullard said. That's all it is. Now how docs the University deal with white racism out there? Better the university deal with it than the folks in Third Ward. Bullard summed up UH's dilemma with a question. How do you deal with racism in the larger society and not be a willing participant in the process? Dr. Robcn Bullard, a toctologiu at TSU.

Photo by Ihrucl A Met While the university recognizes racism as a problem, Moore characterized those feelings as coming from outside the institution, and said that UH is interested in all kinds of students. I think the university's view is that we are a university for Houston, and the state, and the nation, for that matter, said Moore. That certainly includes the people who arc our immediate neighbors. One of our important constituancies is minority people, but this is a university for all of the city, so I resist casting our mission in racial terms one way or another. Bullard also cited suspicion about UH's expansion policies as a factor that hurts UH's relations with its neighbors. ”1 remember the master plan they had drawn up, said Bullard. “They surveyed people and they sent out letters asking people, 'would you be willing to sell your property.' People almost went crazy, he said. There is a master plan floating out there, and some of the people in this area have gotten wind of it through rumor or however. Generally when stuff comes out in bits and pieces it gets blown out of proportion, and people start bringing out their elephant guns when they may only be dealing with mosquitoes. Moore understands the com • munity's sensitivity about encroachment. It is my belief, based on what I have seen and how we have behaved, that this should not be an issue. We have defined some limits within which we would purchase land, and I think that plan is fairly well-known. Moore characterized the university's goals for its immediat-ed environment by saying, we arc interested in the development of more housing in close proximity to the university complex, and we are interested in the development of a commercial support base for the university. I don't think that requires concern on the part of our neighbors about an ever-expanding, encroaching university. Fascinating Area: Texas Southern University provides an interesting contrast with UH in terms of community relations. Lede defined this difference in terms of the missions of the two institutions. She said.'TSU's focus is urban so they saw the urban community as part of their laboratory. I don't think (UH) saw themselves as that kind of university. Lede sees an added dimension to a university located in a community like Third Ward. She said, Such an institution must play a key role in the community in which it is located.” 8) Calling the failure to perform that role an abdication of responsibility, Ledc said, There are two worlds in Third Ward, those who are part of the community, that live in the community and are involved, and those who are transients. She claims that the difference between UH and TSU is that you have one institution that is a part of the community, and another institution that is in the community. Unless the university tailors programs which mandate in-volvment, particularly where there is a difference in income levels, that's what you have, a high degree of transiency.” Looking for solutions to area problems, Lede suggested that a combined effort involving all area institutions could revitalize the neighborhood socially, psychologically, and economically. Moore agrees that the universities can be instrumental in improving the quality of life in the community, but in a much less direct way than that proposed by Ledc. He said, I see a lot of common interest between TSU and UH in improving the student environment. As more students live in the area, more and better businesses are present to help everybody. Moore also thinks that UH can play an important role in minority education, and as a major employer in the area. He said Economic development is a spinoff of what we do, but it is not our primary purpose. While it is tempting to think we can provide a direct solution, I think that is a mistake. What we do best, and what the state asks us to do, is to provide education for people at the college and graduate level, and to conduct research. Moore challenged the idea that UH is not involved in the surrounding area. There are a lot of projects we do in the community, he said. We do outreach in the arts, the School of Education does outreach programs and other schools within the university do outreach programs that are related to their mission and that have practical consequences for the community. UH has been highly involved in two area magnet schools, and the School of Optometry provides much needed services to the community. Dr. Jerald Strickland, an Associate Dean with the Optometry College, said that surveys show as much as 20 percent of the customers that visit the on-campus clinic level within a few miles of UH. He said the clinic offers services to some people on a pay-what-you-can basis,” and that he knows of no one who has been turned away. The call for economic revitalization in Third Ward presents some sticky questions. John Gildrebloom, a sociology professor at UH, thinks that UH could play an important role in economic revitalization. He talked about the possibility of a center for neighborhood development that would be attached to UH s Center for Public Policy. Gilderbloom envi-sions a program in which the university would help rehabilitate and build up neglected neighborhoods. We are actively talking about developing a whole program around that,” he said. I think a key need is to really work in these neglected neighborhoods and an excellent place to start would be the Third Ward. Gilderbloom called the neighborhood a fascinating area, and said it would be a good laboratory for both students and professors. Both Gilderbloom and Bullard think the Third Ward will experience some kind of revitalization when the economy turns around. Both sociologists think the best way for that change to occur is through a joint venture involving both universities, the community, businesses, and city and state government. But Bullard sees some obstacles to this process. He said he isn’t sure a joint venture is possible given the climate of mistrust and the history of development in Houston. Houston does not have a good record in terms of redeveloping areas and minimizing displacement, said Bullard. He said the city is not real big on public-private joint ventures either. Generally private initiative is considered the best route, he said. If the government gets involved, it has to have a plan for replacement housing and that type of thing. So the city has taken a hands-off approach and let the private sector do its thing. Bullard said private sector redevelopment has lead to some problems. Ultimately what happens is you have the displacement and you have the distrust and 84 Paul Vincent Kuntz — shown here posing with two of his favorite subjects, Roosevelt Gunnic and Ida B. Johnson-Gunnie — began a two year commitment to photograph the Third Ward in January. 1986. Kuntz hopes that after the project's completion in January. 1988 he will be able to exhibit the series in its entirety. Vincent Frank was born in Opelousas. Louisiana on May 27, 1920. He has lived in Houston's Third Ward since 194} where he has worked as a wallpaper hanger and as a house painter. But Frank is perhaps best known for his accordian playing. Billing himself as Blues Boy Vincent. he could occasionally be found in various wards performing as a one-man band. Although Frank has retired from nightclub performing, he loves to play for visitors and friends when requested. 85 you have the kinds of feelings that exist today. Third Ward's close ties with TSU would seem to mandate a good working relationship between that university and UH as far as redevelopment efforts are concerned. But the community's distrust of UH and political factors could make it hard for the two institutions to work together. When you expand your role does that mean our role is lessened-' Bullard asked. When you look at the political atmosphere, that in itself may pre- clude any type of cooperation because the cooperation may give the appearance that l’H has somehow merged with, or submerged, TSU. He said both schools are tip-toeing past each other and walking around the issues because we are political animals. It makes a lot of economic sense to do these kind of things, Bullard said, But political sense.- Uh-uh! The University of Houston may be able to improve its relationship in the community and to assist the community in improving itself. But it will be a complicated process requiring a lot of vision on the part of many people. Everyone seems to agree that better communication is a must. But what types of action will come from that communication if it occurs? The reply to that question will provide us with an answer to the query: what kind of neighbors are we? — Daniel Alder. A Look Back With Turner If you search the ARA building. the pink barn that is located between the new Architecture building and the Law building and resembles an airplane hangar, you can find the office of Dr. Bridges Alfred Turner. Turner is coordinator for a college of Engineering program that matches accomplished minority students with large engineering firms. But that is not the reason we went to see him. We looked him up because we needed historical information about Third Ward. What we found was a 78 year old treasure chest full of the gems of time. Turner has lived in Third Ward since 1948. He left a tenured position at Virginia's Hampton Institute to take a job as Dean for the School of Industries at Texas State College for Negroes, known since 1951 as Texas Southern University. The college had been established as a facility for blacks in 1917 by the 50th Texas State Legislature in order to keep those students out of IJT. Turner saw the new institution as a challenge and as an opportunity. If you catch Turner when he is not busy, he might give you a tour of Third Ward. But the tour won't start at TSU, or on McGregor, or at Riverside. Those places are recent additions to Third Ward. The main street of old Third Ward was Dowling Street. If you get in his Buick he'll take you there. It's about 18 blocks from UH, straight down Elgin. Now this was the main street in the Third Ward for black people when I came here. he'll tell you when you get there. This is old Third Ward. Turning right onto Dowling. Turner points out Emancipation Park. He says the park was established in Third Ward because blacks couldn't go into the white parks.' If you went they might run you out.” A bit farther down the road Turner points to a building that is missing its roof and one of its walls. Now this building here was a theatre where blacks could attend. You see blacks couldn't go downtown to the theaters when I came here. If they did. they had to sit in the balcony. Three blocks from Dowling is the house Turner moved into when he first came to Houston. It is a large house, but the Turners occupied only a small portion. At that time it was a nice house. Now the paint is peeling and the screen in the door has been replaced by boards. It is the middle of the day. during the middle of the week and there arc five or six men hanging around on the porch. We look at the house from Turner's car. and then drive on. As we are pulling away. Turner points to the house next door. That house was occupied by a black dentist named Dr. John W. I avis. He was one of the leading black people at that time — from the standpoint of wealth, and from the standpoint of being trusted, shall I say. by-white people. You get what I'm saying.' I'm just giving it to you as it was. As we drive, Turner explains how Third Ward moved, or expanded to include the area that now surrounds the University of Houston. It was a matter of black people buying where they used to couldn't buy,” he explained. Because of that, people just started calling it Third Ward. We were identified, when I came here, as just living in certain areas. When Turner came to Houston, blacks didn't live on this side of Alabama Street. One block past Alabama, coming towards UH. he turns the car to the left. Now this Truxillo. White people lived all in here. You notice the curb is paved. This was completely off limits to blacks. Turner pulls over where Truxillo dead ends at a railroad track. See (hat house there.' That was the first house owned by a black man on this side of Alabama. Dr. Samuel Warren bought this from a white policeman. And when he bought this house, then people began to get a little excited. On the next street over. Turner points out the house he bought in 1919. At the time. Turner was the only black man on the block. '49 was when the unrest began. Turner says. There was no public announcement but it was understood that the community would be occu • pied by blacks. It was talked about in the Kiwanis Club and at the Chamber of Commerce and what have you. Turner says. It gets around. When black people started buying over here the news spread People said 'you better move out because the black people are gonna move in by ya.‘ And they began to run. block after block after block.” — Daniel Alder The Playing Fields The 1986-87 sports season was a year marked by change and transition. Head football coach Bill Yeoman retired after 25 years at UH with a 160-108-8 career record. Cougar spirit was lifted when it appeared that the 1986 homecoming game would be played in Robertson Stadium. But 'Domecoming” was the ruling by the SWC due to protests brought about by Arkansas Athletic Director Frank Broyles. A successful U.S. Olympic Festival heightened Houston's chances for hosting an Olympics in the future, as well as giving the local economy a much needed boost. Tom Ford's resignation from a local Pizza Hut and the threat of an NCAA investigation were all part of the foreboding circumstances surrounding the change in Athletic Directors and much of the personnel within the department. Incumbant head football coach Jack Pardee began training the Coogs to execute his run shoot offense. Head basketball coach Pat Foster began his coaching career at UH with an 18-12 winning season. The men's tennis program was eliminated after 40 years, just another of the many programs to fall victim to this year's budget cuts. Head golf coach Dave Williams, the winningest coach in NCAA history, retired after having traveled with the team for the past 32 years to spend time with his wife and travel the U.S. We wish him well. 90 91 Cougar Sports A Year In Transition Tom Ford, shown here with future interim Athletic Director Michael T. Johnson. phoned in his resignation from a Pina Hut. For the university's athletic department. March 1986 began the ugliest, most painful year in its four decades of collegiate competiton. Only two years before, a Tennessee newspaper, in its annual survey of the nation's top 10 athletic programs, put UH in an elite group that included UCLA, Texas and Ohio State, among others. Times were good — at least on the surface. Guy Lewis had taken the basketball team to its second straight national championship game. Dave Williams had begun his quest for an unprecedented 15th golf national championship in 33 years. The year also marked the return of a Bill Yeoman team to the Cotton Bowl the following January. It was his fourth appearance in 10 years in the Southwest Conference. Having always been overshadowed by bigger schools with massive athletic budgets. UH's success was nothing short of phenomenal. Nearly all of its teams were competitive nationally — even with a pronounced lack of support from a city preoccupied by its pro teams and the states largest colleges—UT and Texas A M. Phil Hansel and Tom Tellez (coach of former UH runner Carl Lewis) kept the swimming and track programs in national ratings. Coach of countless All-Americans and Olympians. Hansel quietly succeeded in the shadow of UT, the premier American program. The coaching stability was unequaled: Williams. Lewis. Yeoman and Hansel would have combined 100 years of experience at UH before the group was broken up. In two short years, all of what the Houston Cougars had built seemed on the verge of being lost, however. Many of the oldtimers who had forged an exciting program had left or were on their way out. Others feared that outsiders would inherit the department. It was inevitable. So were the bad times. In March 1986. five Texas newspapers, including The Daily Cougar, reported that football players had been induced to play at UH or took money while they were on the team from the mid-1970s to late 1984. The university's handling of the reports that 25-year football coach Bill Yeoman and his staff had participated in or knew of extensive payoffs to former players only intensified interest in the department’s troubles. Infighting: Like most of its major college peers, UH stonewalled the public pending the outcome of an internal investigation. The nine-member Board of Regents, chaired by Debbie Hanna of Austin, made it clear throughout the investigation by a Houston law firm that it put little crccdence into the allegations by two dozen former players. Late in the summer, Hanna remarked that she simply didn't belive that Yeoman participated in or knew of any improperties. Infighting between UH President Richard Van Horn's administration and that of the four-campus UH systems intensified. Origins of the political fighting seemed to be in the university's in-house investigation. A formal report was never prepared; only Van Horn knew the exact nature of what was called an oral report. After the initial reports in March, poor athletic graduation rates and an ever-increasing athletic department deficit also were reported. A three-month campus investigation into reports that football players had been readmitted to the university despite numerous suspensions, among other things, concluded in August. More than 25 changes in athletic department or university policy resulted from this study, conducted by UH system Vice Chancellor Hugh Walker. Throughout the spring and summer, a probe of the finan- 92 New Athletic Director Rudy D valos has before him a huge task: guiding the department through what may be its toughest times yet. lix-coach Bill Yeoman in happier times. cial condition of the department continued. Amidst growing pressure, athletic director Tom Ford resigned in July, citing regent interference in his department. He notified school officials from a Pizza Hut pay phone as he left town. That same day. published reports indicated that under Ford the athletic department had not accounted for $2 million in gifts and contributions. Oddly enough, Ford had called the department's record keeping archaic months earlier. Since 1981, the department has been hit hard financially. Expenditures increased dramatically — but not all of it was the fault of free-spending officials, as some expected. State -mandated charges, a Supreme Court breakup of lucrative collegiate football packages with TV networks, and the city's poor economy were all blamed for a four-year debt that would reach an estimated $4 million by-January 1987. The mediocre records of the UH football and basketball teams only worsened the situation. 93 Continued Ticket sales were off. So were revenue projections. Staunchly supportive of Cougar athletics as a group, the Board of Regents and Van Horn appointed Board counsel. Michael Johnson, as interim AD. Johnson's mission was clear: oversee the department through the tough times and clean it up enough so that it could be marketable to a new athletic director, the university's sixth in seven years. In September, seven Regents and a handful of top UH officials, including Yeoman, met in the university's Wortham House. The Daily Cougar reported the secret meeting the morning after and questioned its legality while the Regents contended that they had not violated the state's Open Record Act. Participants of the meeting told the campus newspaper that Yeoman's promotion to athletic director was imminent, but not official yet. In December, Yeoman stepped down from his coaching position and into a newly-created fundraising position in Van Horn's office. It happened despite a massive, orchestrated campaign by Yeoman's supporters to promote the coach. Pressure from faculty and student groups had increased throughout the fall. Leaders in the student and faculty Senates proved unsupportive of such a move.

Photo by Michtcl Davis. The 1986 Season If ex-coach Bill Yeoman would have had as many seasons as disappointing as the 1986 football campaign, he just might have stepped down a long time ago. Dismal is the only way to describe it. A 1-and-10 record, no SWC or home wins, lackluster school support, and administrative hassles made for one of the most unappetizing seasons in recent history. Not suprisingly, the people stayed away in droves. Compared to their opponents, who averaged 28,847 spectators per game, the Courgars in the already cavernous Astrodome could only muster a paltry 15,461. the lowest attendance average since 1965. Such limited fan support when combined with a puny version of the once powerful veer offense (only 2801 total yards) made for some dull college football. Perhaps the only highlights were the considerable recieving abilities of sophmore Everett Jet Brown (33 receptions for 556 yards and 5 TDs) and the defensive crunch of junior Gary McGuire (118 tackles. 45 assists). Also, junior Sloan Hood rushed for a total of 391 yards. Luckily, this season is finished. And hope — especially in intercollegiate sports — springs eternal. The by now obsolete veer offense met its demise when Yeoman stepped down. It will be replaced by former Houston Gambler head coach Jack Pardee's already proven, action-packed run-and-shoot offense. This change might put the fans back into the Dome — or Robertson Stadium — and hopefully put the Houston Cougars back where they belong. On top of the SWC.

Such a personnel change , the paper reported, might thwart a full scale NCAA investigation of the program. School officials denied the report the next day. At the most recent meeting of the NCAA in San Diego, Van Horn presented the NCAA with the conclusions of UH's internal probe. With the changes of department personnel. many high-level school officials doubt that an NCAA investigation will result. Promises that the department's budget would be trimmed were kept by Johnson. In all, five athletic department officials left or were fired by January 1987. Nearly $500,000 of the department's $6.5 million budget was expected to be cut. The most notable dismissal was that of Pat Younger, who for seven years had worked in fundraising. Younger was in an unenviable position: in 1986, more than $125,000 in pledged contributions failed to be collected for a variety of reasons. Clearly the Old Regime was in trouble. By January 1987, there was reason to be optimistic: a string of good moves ended nearly a year of bad luck and dumb moves. Johnson had hired former Houston Gamblers coach Jack Pardee to replace Yeoman. The move was well-received, both on campus and in the community. An inductee in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Pardee played and coached in the pros (Los Angeles Rams. Washington Redskins), leading the Redskins to a Super Bowl. As a player at Texas A M. Pardee was an academic all-American, a strong suit in the eyes of UH officials. The exciting run-and- shoot offense was promised for the next season, replacing more than 20 years of Yeoman s veer offense. Huge Task: Not all of Johnson's tenure as interim athletic director consisted of difficult if not unpopular decisions. Rudy Davalos, once an associate AD under Ford, returned to Houston to take on a huge task: guiding Cougar athletics through some difficult years. A popular, accomplished figure in Texas athletics, Davalos led Southwest Texas State Univer-icy to a national championship as a basketball player, created the UT-San Antonio athletic program from scratch, and has done pro color commentary for several years. He pledged a renewed commitment to alienated students, faculty members and citizens of Houston. Almost immediately, he and associate AD Bobby Risinger began offering discount student and faculty tickets to see first-year basketball coach Pat Fos- ter's basketball team. A variety of projects have been undertaken to correct the problems — and lure UH and the city back to the program. And never before has the department's administration been so accessible. The Board of Regents and Van Horn have given the program five years to get back on track financially. Now, only time and a little luck will tell. — February 1987, Erin Powers. 98 Former Houston Gamblers Coach Jack Pardee’s first year will feature his patented run-and-shoot offense.

Coogs Divided By Experience In his first season with the Coogs. Coach Pat Foster brought the team through a flickering season, firing up for some games, but dying out in others. This pattern was centered around two players, top scorers Greg Anderson and Ricky Winslow. Seniors Anderson and Winslow. each with three years of varsity experience, were the primary factors on the Coogs' scoreboard. Either they were hot, or the Coogs were not. The next four top scorers. Junior Center Rolando Ferriera, Sophomore Guard Tim Hobby, Junior Guard Tom Grant, and Freshman Guard Darrell McArthur have each had only one year or less of Varsity experience. The team finished with a 18-12 overall record and a fourth place 9-7 record in the SWC. This is significantly impressive for a season of transition with a new coach, however for many fans it was a disappointment. An early five-game winning streak in non-conference play, (which included a 41 point game high for Anderson) raised hopes, but proved to be only a flash in the pan for a team divided by experience. In the games that followed, Anderson and Winslow inevitably failed to dominate the boards while the others consistently scored, but could not make up for the slumps. In three games, Winslow scored six points or less in over 20 minutes of play. Anderson, as well, had a shooting slump of only four points during 37 minutes of play against Baylor. When SWC opponents were able to hold Anderson to 15 or less and could slow Winslow's fast breaks, the Coogs were doomed. They did manage, though, to pull off a 9-7 conference record. The Coogs went on to beat Texas 59-49 in the SWC Championship, but lost 54-52 to Baylor in the semis. With their fourth place standing, they fell into a NCAA tournament bid after UCI.A defeated Washington. However, UH lost to Kansas 55-66 in the first round at Atlanta. At the season's end, Anderson's phenomenal defensive skills tallied 318 rebounds and 56 blocked shots. He also led the Coogs in scoring 546 points this season. Winslow was next in scoring with 384 points, which included 36 slams. This figure is 59% of the team's total slam dunks this season. Other Cougars with lower, yet consistent totals were equally impressive in other areas. Ferriera was third in shooting with 293 points and proved to be equally valuable defensively with 45 blocked shots. Darrell McArthur contributed a total of 93 assists and Tim Hobby shot 86.2% from the foul line. These are expected to be the consistent, more experienced backbone next season, building a little depth as Anderson and Winslow have both finished their eligibility. — Darrell Hutto 100 Greg Cadillac Anderson out-jumps a Baylor opponent for two points.

The women ended their 11th straight winning season with a 19-10 overall record and a conference record of 10-6. Their 79-9 points per game average was the highest in UH history as well as the second highest scoring offense in the 1986-87 SWC season. After this impressive season, the Lady Coogs went on to defeat Baylor 70-52 in the SWC Post Season Tournament. However. Arkansas beat the ladies in a close, high-scoring semi-finals game. 96-82. despite the excellent performance by UH players. Senior. Dejuena Carter, all SWC guard, led the SWC in regular season scoring and set a UH record for scoring in double figures in 28 consecutive games. Carter, with 1,102 career points, is the 8th UH woman basketball player to score over 1,000. SWC Newcomer of the Year, junior center Missy Davis, led the SWC in blocked shots with 45. She also ranked number one in free throw percentage with 79.9. making 99 of the 125 she attempted. Davis was also ranked among the top five scorers, with 327 points this season. Defensively, the Lady Coogs pressed hard with 439 steals, and forced 749 turnovers. Senior guard Bridget Chancy had 101 steals, ranking her among only ten in UH history to steal more than 100 times in a season. A weakness the Lady Coogs exhibited was in their 3-point shooting. They attempted only 16 3-point shots this season, and made only 3. On the other hand, their opponents made 31 of 93 attempts. Head Coach Greg Williams said, the ladies are more inside-oriented and shoot the sure shots unless they're playing a catch-up game.” Williams added, the 3-point shot will probably not be a big weapon in the 87-88 season. as well. With four starters returning in the 87-88 season and six promising recruits joining the Lady Coogs ranks. Williams expects at least 20 wins, a second place conference title, and a bid in the NCAA Tournament. —Darrell Hutto Liberty Bank Front row (l-r) Bridget Chancy.

He became the UH Golf Coach five years later in 1951 when Athletic Director at the time, Harry Foukc, was having no success with the team. After Williams beat Fouke in several games, Foukc offered him the job. As the new coach, Williams gave a speech at the annual sports banquet predicting a National Championship for UH. Williams brought UH not one, but sixteen titles during his 36 seasons here. Williams credits his success to hard work and dedication, not only in coaching, but in fund raising and recruiting as well. It's been hard trying to get young kids to come here because we don't have on-campus facilities for golf. The kids have to pay to practice on other golf courses, which can be a big disadvantage, but I've been fortunate that it hasn't worked out that way, Williams said. I consider golf a major sport at UH primarily because of all the success the program has had. My players have worked harder because they have the motivation to succeed. They also must have the ability to Fight, courage, golfing ability, and most of all, they need to be mentally tough, he said. Williams believes this year's team was one of the best because of the adversity they overcame. He lost one player to cancer, one to a thyroid problem, and one was stranded in Australia. Also, there was only one senior, Tray Tyner, on this year's team. This has been my greatest coaching year , Williams said, because of all these problems. We didn't have an experienced team and we weren't even ranked.

Experience is a key, but the players have improved all season, he said. Over the years, Williams has had three offers for Athletic Director positions, including two at UH. He's also had several other coaching possibilities, but has turned them down to continue at UH, with the most prestigious golf program in the country, a program that he built. Houston is a dynamic city. It's full of good people and the climate is great all year 'round. I was born in Texas. If I would have left UH, it would have been like running away from home. Williams had thought about retiring earlier than now, but stayed at UH longer than many expected. He has been teaching for 48 years, including the ser vice.

Rudy Davalos said financial considerations led to the move, which came after discussions with the Athletic Advisor)’ Committee and the Intercollegiate Athletic Council. In the face of the current financial atmosphere, this decision will afford the opportunity to avoid diluting remaining programs and allow us to remain dedicated and competitive,” Davalos said in a prepared after UH captured third place in the Cougar Classic, including victories over Southern Mississippi and Houston Baptist. It's kind of like we have a good win and this is what it gets us. said team Captain Earl Zinn. UH did, however, have a 6-20-1 season record and placed last in the SWC. UH has fielded a tennis team since 1947 and has an all-time record of 425-299-22. The team's most famous player is pro Nduka Odizor, who won SWC titles in singles (1978) and statement. The move came two days doubles (1981). — Scott Butterworth LAMAR 8-1 DARTMOUTH 5-3 MCNEESE STATE 4-4 OHIO STATE 2-7 TCU 0-9 GEORGIA TECH 2-7 UNLV 2-3 SOUTHERN WICHITA STATE 0-9 MISSISSIPPI 9-0 ARIZONA 3-6 NEW MEXICO 2-7 MARYLAND 2-7 HOUSTON BAPTIST 5-4 OKLAHOMA STATE 0-6 RICE 1-8 ARKANSAS - BAYLOR 3-6 LITTLE ROCK 1-5 TRINITY 3-6 TEXAS 0-9 TEXAS TECH 7-2 NORTH CAROLINA 2-7 TEXAS A M 0-9 SMU 1-8 ARKANSAS 1-8 DUKE 1-8 NEBRASKA 4-5 OVERALL RECORD 6-20-1 WASHINGTON 5-4 122 NEW MEXICO 5-4 BAYLOR 9-0 SW TEXAS 8-1 FURMAN 7-2 MISSISSIPPI STATE 5-1 GEORGIA 2-7 NORTH CAROLINA 6-3 SMU 3-6 TEXAS 3-6 LAMAR 8-1 RICE. 6-3 ARKANSAS 6-3 WAKE FOREST 8-1 UC IRVINE 6-3 SOUTH CAROLINA 4-5 TEXAS A M 7-2 TRINITY 3-6 TCU 1-8 TEXAS TECH 6-3 OVERALL RECORD 13-6 123 Chris Rampacck bats away an LSU pass in Baton Rouge.

Saturday, September 27, 1986 1 2:50pm - 6:00am - Drag my ass out of bed and be thankful for the three hours of sleep I got. Brush my teeth and drink the last beer from the 12-pack I started last night. Throw on some clothes and put my gear in my bag. Gotta get to school by 7 o'clock. 1:10pm - 7:05am - Picked up some breakfast along the way. A couple of guys are already here, so I scarf down the last of my Egg McMuffin and readily accept a beer. Gotta stay in shape, they've already polished off a 12-pack. 2:15pm - 8:20am - We re loaded up and ready to go. Just one more thing. We need to stop and pick up some more beer for the road. 2:27pm - 9:05am - Just left the city limits. We already need more beer. Better stop now, cause it's over an hour to Beaumont. 3:00pm - 10:02am • Coming into Beaumont. Boy did we make good time. Time to stop for more beer and use the john, maybe pick up a bite to eat. 4:40pm - 11:15am - Nearing Louisana. It's time to start thinking about the game. Better get a little more beer just to make sure we’re well primed. Found the Field. Where the hell are we supposed to park? Guess we'll hop the curb and park beside the field. Anywhere we can change and use the restroom before we play! No?! Well, we ll just have to change in the vans. The early game is running late, so we'll have time to stretch out, maybe work off some of that beer. Who asked for the 97° weather? It's finally halftime, where the hell's the ice water? What do you mean nobody brought any? I'm going to kill somebody, if it's the last thing I do, and in this heat it probably will be. Thank God for girlfriends, even if they are somebody else's! We Finally got some ice water, but we've got to be back in the game in two minutes. It's over! We won 16 — 6 and only one concussion. Pretty mellow game except for the heat. Let's get cleaned up. Dinner at the IIIOP. Bet they've never had this many people converge on them at one time. Sure are slow. They ought to change their name to ISOP, everything's covered with grease. 12:35pm - Finally make Baton Rouge. Anybody remember 6:j5pm . how to get to the playing Fields? Oh well. I'm sure they’ll pop up sooner or later, this place ain't that big. Where's the party? These people call three overweight, ugly girls and a keg a party? Let's get some beer and blow this popsicle stand, before we all get arrested, like last year. 125 7:35pm - 8:10pm - Halfway to New Orleans, time for beer and piss 9:45pm -stop. Hello, New Ohleens! Does anybody know where we re staying? Guess we could sleep on the street with the rest of the bums. 3:20am • Oh no! Rob's taking some poor fool's money. Wh n are people going to learn that there's a trick to drinking beer from the top of your head withot t using your hands? Just one more beer, and then I'm going home. 8:25pm - 8:45pm - 9:00pm • O.K. here's a good ol' what's-her-face's apartment, but where the hell are we supposed to park? Guess this'll do. Ooops! Yes ma m, we ll move the van out of your yard. No ma'am I don't think calling the police will be necessary. Here's the trolley, where's Bourbon Street? What do you mean you don't like crude songs? Arc any of the rest of ya'll offended by our singing? No one else seems to mind, guess you'll have to catch the next trolley ma'am. Bourbon Street at last. Where's the bar? Are we going to a punk club or a strip joint first? I don't care, just find me a hurricane. 5:30am - Will you guys shut up! People arc trying to slee� around here. What do you mean you got thrown o f Bourbon Street for having too much fun? Thrt: times!?! 7:15am - I don't want to get up! Give me a beer and pass rr; those aspirin. 7:45am • If it's not in the van, it ain’t going. Get in the va l and let's get some breakfast. No, I don't want a be r until after we've eaten. 10:30am - Back in Texas, what a relief. Will you guys shut up We re trying to get some sleep here. O.K. give m : another beer. 1:00pm • Home at last! See you guys next week. Rob Geiger demonstrates his skill in drinking beer from his head in front of a Bourbon Street crowd. First, find an unsuspecting passerby. Bet him fixv bucks you can drink a beer from your head without using your hands. Balance the beer on your head, slowly sit to the ground, and roll back until you can pick it up with your feet. Pour the beer cautiously into t ur mouth from your feet and take his money .. it's easy! 126 Scrambling for a loose ball in a game against Rice. Photo by John Schmalz.

With all expenses coming out of his pocket, he wears the red and white without the financial support of the university. No groups of women dance during halftime in tribute. As a member of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association, he must keep a minimum 2.0GPA and be a full-time student. When he isn’t studying or roping, Tim spends a lot of time at the northeast Houston stables where his seven year-old quarterhorse Shadow is kept. When you've got a horse, you've always got something to do.” Tim tries to rope at least three times a week and if he is doing well roping, he just rides. Being the only cowboy from UH “gets kinda lonely, he said. Sometimes he gets real mad when they call his name because sometimes they say 'UT' instead of 'UH’, ' said his girlfriend Rosalind Mouton, a 21 year-old education junior. He usually travels with David Walker, a friend and fellow calf roper from Prarie View A M. Some schools, like Southwest Texas State and last year s champion McNeese State, pay the entry fees and even award scholarships. But Tim s money for competition comes out of his pocket. Despite all of the hard work, it’s the camaraderie among cowboys that relaxes my mind, says Davison. In December, Tim will graduate and said he will keep on roping, in his spare time as long as I’m healthy and enjoying it. Rodeoing has taught me responsibility, and how to win and how to lose — just like life. — Mark Evangelista 12 The popularity of skateboarding has regained momentum as a contest sport.

After winning four gold medals at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, beginning a new career as a pop singer, and at the same time looking forward to the 1988 Games in Seoul, it seemed as if nothing could go wrong for Carl Lewis. But for the ex-Uni-vcrsity of Houston track star, the 1986 Olympic Festival in his home town was a disaster. Lewis came into this important meet, held in Robertson Stadium, nursing a sore knee. Competing in the first of his events, the 4x100 meters, Lewis — on the fourth leg — came from behind to finish first. On the platform accepting the gold medal, Lewis and his teammates, Floyd Heard, Wallace Spearman and Kirk Baptiste, learned that they had been disqualified. It seems early on in the race, Heard stepped out of his lane, resulting in a lane vio- lation disqualification for the team. On his second day out Lewis was expected to win the gold in the long jump with ease. But it was questionable as to whether or not he would even compete. As warm-up got underway, Lewis finally had to succumb to his knee injury, and reluctantly throw in the towel. 138 The Crowd Pleasers U. of H. pride, Kirk Baptiste lunged for the tape to edge out Texas A M's Floyd Heard in the 200 meter. With a time of 20.41 seconds, over Heard's 20.45, Baptiste snapped Heard's unbeatable winning streak. The most exciting moment at Robertson Stadium came when, before a crowd of 16,500, Jackie Joyner broke the world record in the Heptathlon, the second time in 27 days. The crowd cheered as she came down the stretch in the 800 meter to rack up 7161 points. Joyner had previously set the world record at 7148 points at the Goodwill Games in Moscow less than a month earlier in July, and there wasn't heat and humidity to contend with there. Above Carl Lewis takes the baton from Kirk Baptiste in the last turn. Lewis came from behind to win the 1x100 but the team was disqualified for a lane violation. Photo by Mirk Licy.

She was called to the platform time after time to accept the gold medal, and won the all-around title. There can never be another Nadia Comanechi. But Bela Karoly moved to Houston and coached spunky Mary Lou Retton to the First all-around title for the United States and a perfect 10 at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Kristie Phillips, only 14-ycars-old, trains in Karoly’s north Houston Gymnasium for the 1988 Olympics. She will likely be the top United States contender, judging from her performance in the Summit before a crowd of 13,265. Her strengths are the floor exercise and her unequaled back-breaking contortions on the balance beam. Phillips won the all- around gold with 38.30, three tenths over Karoly’s other pu-_pil, Pheobe Mills. There was a perfect 10 in store for Mills on the balance beam, but seven medals for Kristie Phillips brought the crowd to its feet and Karoly to his knees. 140 The unprecedented success f the U.S. Olympic Festival his summer proved that Hous-on has the facilities and the bility to host such events and hat the community can and ill react to such dynamic chal-ages. The USOF could not have omc at a better time for the ity of Houston, giving a large oost to the city's image and its conomic outlook across the jmmer. Houston was selected to host nc USOF over such cities such s Austin, Detroit, Boston and 'hiladelphia. Organizers were, however, orced to overcome the prob-ems that became inherent as a esult of the financial fiasco that esulted when the festival was icld in Baton Rouge. Houston had some definite dvantages as a host city: •Strong corporate sponsorship •Large buying public •Good location easy accessability. Corporate backing was quite-vident with at least 31 com-■anics donating more than 10,000 each, and several com- anie$ who did not make cash ontributions provided much iceded materials and services, such as Brown and Root, a locally based construction company, who donated over 100 2-way radios to the event. Although the over $350,000 in corporate sponsorship helped to case some of the burden of the $5.5 million operations budget, organizers knew that the majority of the operating cost of the USOF would have to be covered by ticket and souvenier sales. Advance ticket sales of over $1.7 million indicated that organizers could realistically expect to meet their budget if the weather allowed spectators to attend the outdoor events. Luckily good weather prevailed throughout the ten days of the USOF and virtually no event was postponed for longer than a few hours. This allowed for a new overall attendance record of almost 350,000, breaking the previous record of 250,000 that was set in Indianapolis in 1980. Gymnastics was the biggest seller, with an overall attendance of over 47,000. But volleyball — a surprise seller — sold over 5,000 tickets in advance. New USOF attendance records were set in 15 sports, including track and field and fi- gure skating, and new American records were set in the increasingly popular sports of rhythmic gymnastics and taekwondo. All tolled, the 34 events held at this year's USOF attracted over 4,000 athletes, most of whom were housed in the dormitories at the University of Houston and at Rice University. The USOF is credited with bringing over 20,000 out of town visitors to Houston, and pumping over $40 million into the ailing Houston economy, with the average spectator spending $200 to $300 while in Houston. Local merchants credited the USOF along with the All-Star baseball game as saving them from what would have otherwise have been a disasterous summer. Even the smaller merchants managed to catch the Olympic Spirit brought about by the festival, with only a handful of merchants — who were usually located some distance from any events — complaining that they could see no noticeable increase in business during the festival. Over 100 hours of events were broadcast live by ESPN during the USOF. This helped show the rest of the U.S. that Houston had not blown away, and that the city was more than capable of hosting an event of enormous proportion. The high cost of hosting the USOF, was due to such factors as: •The financial shortcoming of the festival in Baton Rouge: forcing organizers to put down large deposits on arenas. •Over $250,000 spent on security. •Distance between arenas; events held from Lake Conroe to Galveston Island, escalating transportation costs and complications. •Unexpected expenses, like the $4,000 worth of ice that was used to cool down the pool for the water polo competition. If nothing else becomes of it, hosting the USOF improved Houston's chances of someday hosting the real thing — the Olympics. — Shawn Collier Competition was hot at the water polo matches. In fact. $4,000 worth of ice had to be delivered to the Spring Branch Natatonum to cool the pool. It was a Texas sized hot tub when the activities began in the Houston heat and humidity.

Students rang out with excitement in front of big screen TVs around the campus, and even skipped class to see home games in the Dome. The Astros clinched the '86 National League West title as Mike Scott pitched a no-hitter to beat the Giants. But the Astros fell short in the playoffs against the New York Mets, losing the series two games to four in an emotional sixth game homestand. 142 Fans cheer the Astros on in the Coffee House.

Since he began career in 1966, Ryan become the all-time rd holder in strike-with over 4,500. The Classrooms Monumental Changes UH President Richard Van Horn had a hec of a time balancing the budget in the face of severe cuts in education funding. Debbie Hanna, a former UH student, became the first woman chairperson of the Board of Regents. There was unfounded talk in the State Legislature of a tier system' for state universities in which UH would have been second behind UT and A M. The change in the legal drinking age from 19 to 21 helped reinforce UH’s trend toward a dry (non-alcoholic) campus. Alcohol was banned on the hill” outside the Satellite. The Task Force Report established a policy that any student in a leadership position must have a 2.5 GPA in order to receive compensation. In an unresolved dispute, the College of Technology, with an enrollment of 1,500 faced elimination. UH began to look at necessary renovations to Robertson Stadium in order to bring football games back on the campus. The new Architecture Building designed by Phillip Johnson opened for classes in the summer, Melchcr Hall opened in the fall and the $800,000 Oblisks were completed at the intersection of Cullen and 1-45. It was the general concensus the among the administrators that additions to the on-campus residential community, including married student housing, greek housing and a mall are in store for the future.

Administration awarded the University $5.5 million to fund a Center for the Commercialization of Space to develop space vacuum epitaxy technology. Drs. Paul Chu and Alex Ignatiev, professors of physics, head the research effort that uses the vacuum of space to produce the next generation of microelectronics. This center is supported by NASA, the state, the University and a consortium of industries and will have total funding of over $15 million. Technology transfer ventures between University basic research programs and industries interested in developing the commercial aspects of new discoveries, dramatically illustrate the contributions of University research to the city and state s economic development efforts. UH has accomplished one of the most dramatic research expansions in the nation with research expenditures doubling from $11.5 million in fiscal year 83 to over $23 million in fiscal year 86. The University's mission is to support the creative process and the development of new knowledge and to transfer that knowledge to students and the community. Richard L. Van Horn President University of Houston Nearly a year ago, the Coordinating Board of the Texas College and University System released the list of projects to receive funds from the state's new $35 million Texas Advanced Technology Research Program (TATR). Eighteen projects at the University of Houston were funded for more than $7.1 million. I think this is a tribute to the quality of our faculty and will be an excellent benefit to the University and the city, Dr. Richard Van Horn, UH President said. The additional TATR funding will push UH research funding to an all-time high, somewhere between $23 and $25 million for fiscal year 1986, more than double the total research funding in 1983. Last fiscal year, the campus received $16.4 million in new funding, with more than $11 million dollars coming from federal sources. This recent funding success anchors UH among the top three non-medical research universities in the state for external research funding, according to Julie Norris, Director of the Office of Sponsored Programs. The trend supports a statement made by Lt. Gov. William P. Hobby, citing the University as one of three Texas universities that should be expanded into nationally recognized research institutions. He said that research expansion of UH as well as Texas Tech University in Lubbock and a university in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, would ensure the economic vitality of Texas. Why did the campus com- pete so well for this money? Most administrators point to faculty quality. By hiring young faculty and nurturing their research careers, UH has developed professors with growing reputations. Additionally, researchers made certain proposals that were Texas-oriented, explaining how the research will help Texas compete for high-technology industry. The physics department attracted the most funding with four projects receiving $1.63 million. Overall, nine projects in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics received nearly $315 million, seven projects in the Cullen College of Engineering received $3 million, one project in the College of Optometry received $650,000 and one project with the Allied Geophysical Laboratories re- ceived $270,000. The bulk of the University research is in one of three fields; biotechnology, materials science and microelectronics but other research areas include agriculture, aerospace, energy and physics. Specific projects include: Dr. Edgar Bering, physics, $350,000 for the development of a miniaturized, energy sensitive x-ray video camera for aerospace and related research. Dr. Russell Geanangle, chemistry, $250,000 to research new hybrid materials. Dr. Charles Goochce, chemical engineering, $515,000 to research the response of microbial structures and cells to environmental stress. Dr. Thomas Hsu, civil engineering, $617,000 to study high performance concrete and other materials. 154 Dr. Ed Hungerfor, physics, $400,000 to develop advanced linear accelerator devices. Dr. Ben Jansen, electrical engineering, $340,000 to research digital signals and images.

In the not too distant future, home computers may perform faster and stereo systems may sound better because of a research and development effort starting at the University of Houston this year. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has awarded the campus $5.5 million to fund a Center for the Commercial Development of Space. This center will develop applications for the vacuum in low earth orbit, a process ex- pected to lead to the production of high quality microelectronics and computer components in space. The UH center is officially designated as the Center for the Commercial Development of Space Vacuum Epitaxy Technology. Physics professors Paul C. W. Chu and Alex Ignatiev will serve as Director and Associate Director, respectively. Sponsored through NASA's Office of Commercial Programs, the center receives five years of NASA seed funding. By the end of that period, NASA expects the center to be in a position to operate without NASA funding under support provided from a combination of public and private sources. In addition to NASA's commitment. Univeristy Park will provide $1 million of support through space, equipment, and cost sharing, and a current consortium of seven industry and government organizations has committed $900,000 for the first year. However, during its first five years, the center may attract in excess of $16 million in support from a consortium expected to have more than 15 supporting organizations from industry. government, and higher education. The vacuum epitaxy technique, incorporation molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and chemical beam epitaxy (CBE), is a high-technology process that grows thin films of extremely pure material almost atom by atom. In fact, it has been described as the most powerful technique for materi-als synthesis, according to Chu. However to achieve high purity, the process relies on an ultra-high vacuum environment, something that is difficult to achieve in large volumes on earth. That is the unique aspect of this center; the proposed use of the vacuum in space for development and production of the next generation of microelectronics and computer chips. Previous efforts have focused on the advantages of the zero-gravity environment of space. Ours is the first proposal to take advantage of the space vacuum. Chu says. The naturally-occurring vacuum in low earth orbit is not as good as the best vacuum achievable on earth, Chu says. However, with a little manipulation, low earth orbit space becomes an ultra-high vacuum much better than vacuums attainable on earth. The manipulation is done by a structure called a wake shield. As the shield passes through space, it literally clears the way of atoms and molecules, creating an ultra-high vacuum directly behind the shield, Ignatiev ex- 155 Peter Huang is a graduate student working with Dr. Paul Chu. He is conducting experiments on a superconducting material developed at UH. Photos by Michtcl Williams. plains. The size of the shield, up to 50 feet in diameter, creates an immense volume of high-quality vacuum, thousands of times larger than anything comparable on earth, according to Chu and Ignatiev. Since there are no vacuum chamber walls required in space, which limit the usable volume of an earth bound vacuum, both men believe this technology can be part of a large production facility in space. The products could be of any of a number of microelectronics devices, magnetic components and novel materials. Due to the advantage of being produced in space, these products would cost less and be of higher quality than any comparable devices produced on earth. For example, space produced components can use higher quality materials, such as gallium arsenide, which arc difficult to synthesize in large quantities on earth, Ignatiev explains. These high-quality components will result in, among other things, faster computers. The center's research and development effort will be divided into four project areas. The first area will study adaptation of MBE and CBE technology to space, with its primary concern being the development of the wake shield. A second project area will address semiconductor materials and devices for development in space. A third area will study the development and fabrication of metallic materials by MBE and CBE. The final project area will handle the development of a major space epitaxy facility. This center can mark the beginning of a major new industry for Houston that encompasses both space and microelectronics. Cooperative industry and University centers such as this illustrate the importance of University research to the city and the state's economic development efforts,” UH President Richard L. Van Horn said. Strides UH-Clear Lake is joining an old friend and neighbor in a new research initiative. This summer, officials at UH-Clear Lake and NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC) announced a joint research partnership resulting in the establishment of the Research Institute for Computing and Information Systems (RICIS) by UH-Clear Lake. This center has been established to plan and execute an integrated research program in advanced data processing systems. Specifically, RICIS will support the computing needs of JSC's various missions, including all administrative, engineering, and science responsibilities. RICIS will receive up to $2.8 million annually from JSC during the next three years. As the program matures, both UH-Clear Lake and JSC officials believe that local industries will become involved as sponsors of computing-related research. The RICIS mission is to conduct, coordinate, and disseminate research on computing and information systems among researchers, sponsors, and users from UH-Clear Lake, JSC, and other universities, other research institutes, industry and other NASA centers. Already participating are Softcc and GHG Corporation and negotiations are underway with the University of Michigan, MIT, and Rice University. RICIS will initially concentrate on accumulating a knowledge and experience base to aid in developing advanced computing and information systems technology for potential use in NASA missions, according to Dr. A. Glenn Houston, a UH-Clear Lake computer science faculty member and director of RICIS. This will help to identify technology gaps and the research needed to fill those gaps. Houston says. Both institutions will share computing and educational facilities to conduct the research. At UH-Clear Lake, the program will rely on the interdisciplinary involvement of faculty and students from all four schools (Business and Public Administration, Human Sciences and Humanities, Education, and Sciences and Technologies) and will involve other universities and research organizations with common interest. Steering committees at both institutions will provide longterm direction to RICIS. Sitting on the UH-Clear Lake committee are Drs. Charles Hardwich Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost; E. T. Dickerson, Dean, School of Sciences and Technologies; Joan Michael, Dean, School of Education; Wayne Miller, Dean, School of Human Sciences and Humanities; and L. Todd Johnson, Dean, School of Business and Public Administration Also on the committee are David A. Hart, Executive Director Computing and Planning, and James T. Hale, Vice President for Administration and Finance. This cooperative effort is not the first joint UH-Clear Lake JSC project. Just three years ago, these neighboring institutions established the joint 156 A UH microbiologist has developed a process using harmless bacteria that could reduce the cost and eliminate the transportation problems involved in cleaning up most of the nation's hazardous waste dumps. John Evans, a professor of biology at UH since 1958, has cultured bacteria that like to eat pecific toxic wastes such as PCBs and DDT. As they digest :heir chosen food source, the Jangcrous chemicals are safely and inexpensively degraded. Unlike incineration or landfill methods, the microorgan-sms destroy wastes at the actu -il site, so the possibility of acci-lents in transport is removed, le said. Evans and UH have entered nto an agreement with Detox ndustries, Inc., of Sugarland, to narket the chemical-eating acteria. Thomas Dardas, Detox's chief executive office, said the company has been assigned all rights for the process under the terms of the co-venture agreement.

This center was :harged with evaluation a new computer language, Ada, for uture NASA applications, including the space station.

Stauffer. Strides each will receive 5 percent of the first $2 million in gross revenue, and then 1 percent afterwards, at least for an initial five-year contract period. In addition, Detox has established a Si million-endowed chair in microbiology at UH, naming Evans as the first recipient. Being the chairholder permits me to do research full time, Evans said. In the process he developed, bacteria are cultured to select a particular type of organic waste as their food source, although they can be designed to eat more than one kind, he said. Evans, 61, said that as they eat, they break down the compound, extracting carbon for energy and leaving carbon dioxide and water as waste products. The bacteria die when their food source has been exhausted, he said, and they become, in turn, food for larger, naturally occurring organisms. They leave no threat to the environment, Evans said. He said biodegradation can take from two months to more than a year to complete since it is dependent on many variables, including the kind of contamination and the environment in which contamination exists. Every waste dump is different in geometry, geology and content of organic and inorganic chemicals. Evans said or- ganic chemicals are the most feared, most complex substances present — many of them are heavy metal and very difficult to biodegrade. Evans said each site must be analyzed and prepared in order to Innoculate the degrading organisms. There are lots of chemical substances in a waste dump, and some of them are harmful to the cultured bacteria, he said. They must be made resistant to them before they can utilize the hazardous waste. In addition to PCB and DDT, Evans' technology can neutralize PCPs, creosote, oil, chlorodane, myrex, and PAHs. Evans also has begun work on bacterial that will eat highly toxic dioxin, although his present research is concentrated upon improving his existing organisms. I want to refine them to degrade in a shorter time and to adapt to a wider variety of environmental conditions, he said. Dardas said Detox has just signed a major contract with a major automaker to detoxify PCB contamination on site. Of about 300 biotechnology firms in the United States, Detox is the only one that has been licensed by the Environmental Protection Agency to biologically degrade PCBs. the persistent chemicals commonly used to cool and insulate heavy electrical equipment like transform- ers and capacitors. However, EPA approval has not meant acceptance by that agency. The EPA is resistant to biodegradation because it is new technology, Evans said. They give it theoretical homage, but they do not recommend it to the industry. Industry will buy, but the EPA has not set acceptable levels for degradation. Roger Meacham, of the regional EPA office, verified that acceptable levels of biodegradation have not been established. Each site is different, so each must be considered individually — across the board levels are not appropriate, he said. Meacham said although biodegradation is an alternative method of dealing with Super-fund sites, it is not the choice for all of them. PCBs are very resistant to biodegradation; they take a long time, he said. Another factor to consider is air emissions. particularly when the waste dump is in congested urban areas like many Texas sites are. Science magazine has report -ed that biodegradation should have an important role in the near future as the EPA finds it has no other alternative than to deal with the contents of most contaminated areas on site. Currently, due to a lack of incinerator capacity, there is a 2-year-old backlog of wastes to be burned. The increase of public resistance to the establishment of more authorized waste dumps for toxic chemicals also indicates the necessity of a proper disposal system. It took Evans 10 years to develop his waste-eating organisms, and he hopes going commercial with his research will benefit the University and help clean up our polluted environment. — Marilyn Swanson 157 A University immunologist is researching a potential effective-approach to fighting cancer. The approach, known as immunotherapy, recruits elements of the body's own immune system to attack malignant cells while leaving healthy cells intact; it holds out the possibility of a bodywide treatment of cancer. Robert Faith, immunologist and laboratory animal veterin- arian at UH, is conducting immunotherapy research with methionine -enkaphalinc and le-cuine-enkephalin, natural pena-peptides found in the body. So far collected data indicate methionine-enkephalin will reduce the amount of cancer spread through the blood and will also inhibit tumor growth,” he said. Faith has researched the effect of methionine-enkephalin on black mice for the past year, particularly concentrating upon treating melanoma — a dangerous form of skin cancer that often spreads to internal organs through the blood. The enkephalins can bind to brain cells and alter their function because the nerve cells have receptors for them, Faith said. They have pain-killing prop- erties and alter brain cell function the same way drugs like morphine do, he said. It's possible that these compounds account for runner's high,” he said. Both runners and aerobic exercisers have large amounts of them. Faith said he uses mice in his experiments because they have a transplantable tumor system that makes them controllable in laboratory testing. After melanoma cancer cells are grown in them, the mice arc intravenously injected with penapeptide to enhance NK cell activity, he said. The compound hasn't stopped growth because it hasn't been used in correct dosages yet,” he said. It may stop it totally; melanoma is a receptive tumor to NK cells. Faith said penapeptides naturally released by beneficial stress will incubate with lymphocytes in a normal individual and increase the body's supply of nat -ural killer cells. NK cells, which began to be recognized in the 1970s, are a subpopulation of lymphocytes that spontaneously recognize and selectively kill certain tumor cells; therefore, they seem to be particularly involved in immune surveillance against malignancies, he said. Faith said immunotherapy, known as biological response modification, is based upon the immune surveillance theory that says a properly functioning immune system constantly rejects malignant cells as they appear in the body. If the immune system is misfiring, however, the cells grown can form a tumor. Evidence indicates immune deficits of sev-eral kinds are common in many cancers. But stress can alter immune responses, as research into the mutual interactions of the nervous and immune systems has proved. These systems are so highly integrated they are able to talk back and forth to coordinate their activities. Consequently, the nervous system affects immune responses, and immune responses can alter nerve cell activity. Faith said there are two types of stress — beneficial and incapacitating. Beneficial stress can be healthy, since it stimulates the body's immune responses, but incapacitating stress can repress NK cell activity and increase an individuals susceptibility to physical illness. Faith said he is only in the preliminary stages of his research and that leucine-enkephalin, a stronger penapeptide than metionine-enkaphaline has not been tested yet. I think it may be more active and efficient, but it may also be addictive. Faith said he and his collaborators in immunotherapy, who arc working in other labs around the country, will test with additional tumors in the future. It is only with the past five years that genetic-engineering technology has made large quantities of natural body substances, like enkephalins, available to researchers. Scientific American magazine reports that immunological approaches probably will not replace surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, but investigators are nonetheless confident they will augment established treatments. Faith doesn’t disagree. We re going to be treating cancers much more effectively with a combination of methods, he said. Immunotherapy will be useful in combination with chemotherapy or radiation or as a follow-up to surgery.” Faith said different cancers are different diseases and thus require different treatment. Multicomponent treatment is the best, most effective way of dealing with them, he said It is only within the past five years that genetic-engineering technology has made large quantities of natural body substances like enkephalins, available to researchers. — Marilyn Swansor 158 Since September, engineers n the UH Enhanced Oil Recovery Laboratory have been enjoying X-ray vision. We have capabilities no one else has, said Harry Deans, professor of chemical engineer-ng and FOR Director. Deans is describing the ex-raordinary capabilities of the X-Ray CT Scanning system recently acquired by the EOR Laboratory. The device, traditionally used to diagnose body tissue disorders, has been bor-owed them medicine and idapted for oil field research. We've removed a lot of nedicine’s constrantes from the nachine, he said. Because our targets have wo or three times the density f the human body, we need ig X-ray doses. So, we scan onger and use high settings on he tubes. Core samples from oil fields ire being studied with the CT Scan to determine how oil (lows through rock. A lot of oil is trapped and never gets to the well, Deans said. Our research is focused on improving the process of getting what s there out of the rock and at a reasonable cost. If it can t be done economically, it's a waste of time.” X-Ray CT is a computer -controlled technique for imaging cross sections inside an opaque object. Scanners have been bought by the industry as they are replaced with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance machines in the medical field. UH, with a matching grant from the National Science Foundation, purchased EOR’s fourth-generation scanner for $125,000, about 10 percent of the machine’s original cost. However, F.OR, which was established in 1984. receives its funding primarily from industrial sponsors. The research consortium currently has 18 member companies that each pay annual dues of $15,000. These fees cover laboratory operation costs, machine maintenance. theoretical research by graduate students and proprietary research for individual companies in the consortium. CT is the abbreviation for Computerized Tomography. The word tomography derives from the Greek word tomos,” meaning slices, and graph meaning picture. The name is an exact description of the scanner’s mode of operation, because a CT nondestructive slices and displays the interior of the object being studied. In CT, an X-ray source moves in a circular path around the object in a controlled time rotation. At each angle of rotation, 720 detectors, which are in a fixed array, pick up any radiation that passes through the target and obtains a one-dimensional projection. A computer mathematically processes these projections to create a two-dimensional image. The object is then moved in one millimeter increments and a series of slices are imaged. From sequential, overlapping cross sections, any other plane through the body can be reconstructed by the computer. These reconstructions produce three-dimensional representations of the object. In the EOR laboratory, an image can be taken and reconstructed on the console in 20 to 30 seconds. Deans said. The images are stored on disk and magnetic tape. Since oil is found in porous rock such as limestone, a scan of oil field samples with the pores evacuated looks like swiss cheese. Deans said they are filling the pores, under pressure, with xenon gas — which stops X-rays just like rock does. As a result, the whole sample appears solid — except for any irregularities in the rock itself. Soon, tests will be conducted in which helium, a gas that has no X-ray absorption, is forced in the core samples at high pressure. Xenon will then be flowed in to displace it. The speed at which it fills all the holes will be very interesting. This is the data we re after. Deans said. By working with high pressure, the displacement process will be slow enough for us to take repeated pictures and watch it happen.” This process will correspond to what’s happening in the ground when water is flowed in to displace oil and force it out. It's something we need to understand. he said. Deans, who taught at Rice University before coming to UH in 1982, said they will only be doing pure research in the laboratory. There are no direct commercial aspects of our research. But plans will include making the X-ray machine available for multi-disciplinary use. The civil engineering department already has suggested using the scanner to study concrete stress, Deans said. Electronic Music Inc., a company owned by the Beatles, developed the first modern CT Scan. — Marilyn Swanson NASA's contract for development of microstrip antennas on the Manned Maneuvering Unit, a component of the planned space station, has been awarded to a team of UH researchers. The MMU is a Buck Rogers thing,” Stuart Long, chairman of the electrical engineering department, said. Astronauts will strap themselves into this big box-like module equipped with communications and propulsion in order to move and work in space outside the station No matter what their position in the MMU, whether upside down or sideways, the men must have dependable antennas that permit a constant exchange with the space station on two way radio frequencies — one that transmits messages, and one that receives them. The problems presented by both circular polarization, a term which describes antennas that work no matter how they arc oriented, and dual frequency communications have been resolved successfully. The problem that challenges Long and his team of researcher — Bill Richards, Don Wilton and David Jackson — is the development of a single printed circuit antenna that combines both concepts. The $60,000 one-year contact also asks the UH team to determine the optimum locations on the MMU for placement of the antennas. Long, a graduate of Rice and Harvard Universities, has been one of the leaders in developing new types of antennas since the mid-1970s. At that time, he and Liang Shen, a UH electrical engineering professor, worked with a team at the University of Illinois, which included Richards, to develop the microstrip antenna. A unique antenna, one of its most unusual features is that it has nothing which protrudes. It is a flexible, flat surface of copper only a few l,(XX)-of-an-inch thick that is flush mounted to become a part of whatever it's used upon. 160 Lacking wobbly rabbit ears or telescoping antennas, the mi- . rostrip antenna is rugged and ssentially indestructible,” Long : aid. The antennas receive and insmit radio signals using fre-uencics in the microwave inge, 300 megahertz to 30 gi-ahertz, with waves that are a :w meters to a few centimeters : i length. This distance is better . opreciated by comparison with t re approximately quarter-: lilc-long waves of AM radio ations that broadcast in kilo-! ertz. In order to explain printed . ircuit antennas and the work t lat Long’s team is doing, a de-j.ription of the evolution of i lodern Microelectronics is i ccessary.

A t mplctc circuit could be made a one time, for less cost, and | ugged into a piece of equip-i cnt. Next, engineering found a ay to dispense with most of i e wires in the circuit. They began painting, or printing, the boards with thin lines of silver or other metals to connect all the separate electronic devices. Integrated circuits soon followed in which thousands of individual transistors and other electronics were printed on think slices of silicon no larger than a postage stamp. Presently, antennas still remain separate from the rest of the electronics. Although the antenna is etched onto a micro-wave printed circuit board so that it shares the surface with the circuit, the two are not integrated. Long and his team seek to make the antenna and the rest of the circuit whole. Their prototype testing is done inside a special chamber that simulates the atmosphere in outer space with walls of an absorbent material that blots out signals and prevents rebounding waves and echoes. The chamber, located in the new engineering building, became operational about two years ago and cost approximately S200,000 to construct and supply with measuring equipment. The researchers also arc working to make microstrip antennas that will receive and transmit using extremely high frequencies (30 gigahertz to 300 gigahertz). Waves at these frequencies are only a few millimeters long and dramatically increase the ability of antennas designed for microwave frequencies to send and receive weak signals. Shorter wave lengths achieve higher resolution, greater band width and more resistance to jamming and interference. Also, smaller objects require higher frequencies for detection, so radar would be refined with millimeter waves. Similarly, waves used in non-destructive evaluation of aircraft parts to determine small flaws would detect smaller defects when shorter lengths are used. Long and his team have been funded by the U.S. Army Research Office and Texas Advanced Technological Research. The army's primary purpose in developing the microstrip antenna is naturally for military utilization, though there are obviously many other uses for them too, Long said. An example of that is the space pro-gram.” He said the new contract will not be NASA's first use of microstrip antennas. Astronauts on lunar missions have already utilized the flat antennas on their backpack radios because the projecting wire antennas used in the early missions could catch • on things, be bent or completely broken away. There's still enough glamour in the space industry to make a project like that special. Long said. It's fun to think we ll be a small part of NASA's program, that antennas we've designed will be used on the space station. — Marilyn Swanson 161 On-site experience is what chemical engineering professor Jack Matson offers his class.

The NCCLM, a non-profit organization in New York City, promotes literary magazines in the United States. It provides money from public and private sources to both the magazines and their published authors. Eleven literary reviews were awarded citations this year by a panel of judges selected by the organization. Approximately 1600 reviews are published annually in the United States, Olivares said. Olivares said it was commonly assumed for many years that all American literature was written by Anglos in English. But political movements of the ’60s fostered a literary movement among Americas immigrants, who realized they had something to contribute. Consequently, they began to record their experiences and feelings about life in their adopted country. The United States is a pluralistic society. The review wants to provide a medium for the expression of a different view of the reality of this coun-try,” Olivares said. The Americas Review, which draws contributors from all over the United States, includes work of individuals recognized for their excellence with such awards as Guggen-heims, American Book and Obic Awards. It also cultivates and publishes new talents, he said. This spring's issue is the first using the title, The Americas Review.” The journal's original name, Revista Chicano-Riquena,” was changed to reflect the increased ethic diversity of people with Hispanic origins in the U.S. since the journal's founding 14 years ago. Olivares said the review, founded by Nicholas Kanellos at a small midwestern university, has become the major outlet of Hispanic expression in the arts. Kanellos also created Arte Publico Press to publish reviews and books by Hispanic authors When he came to UH in 1980, Kanellos brought the journal and Arte Publico Press with him. Olivares said the press, which published 2( books last year, is now the major publisher of books by U.S Hispanics. Kanellos received an editorial grant in 1983, but this year's citation is the first major aware that the publication has received. — Marilyn Swan so r There is an untold success story on the UH campus. The Americas Review,” published by the University's Arte Publico Press, has received a Citation of Achievement from the National Coordinating Council of Literary Magazines for its spring 1986 issue. The journal, which only considers works by Hispanic-American contributors, publishes fiction, poetry, plays, essays and art about Hispanics in America. It is committed to the inclusion of United States Hispanic writers in the tradition of American letters, said Julian Olivares, co-editor of the journal and associate professor of Spanish and Mexican-American studies at UH. Olivares said the quarterly published journal received the NCCLM citation for creativity, innovative editorial procedure and contribution to public awareness about the input of Hispanic writers to American 164 John Doe, an average American citizen, is at home minding his own business, when he is telephoned by someone taking a survey who asks him this question: Do you think everyone should be allowed freedom of speech? Of course, John Doe replies without hesitation. After all, he reasons, freedom of speech is a personal right guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States. After recording John Doe’s response, the pollster poses another question: Do you think a Communist should be allowed to make a speech in your community? Communist! Speak in my community? No way!” John Doe roars. After all, he reasons, Communists are anti-American.” John Doe has just contradicted himself. He, like the average American, is a casualty of what Dr. James Bigson, University of Houston associate professor of political science, terms the pan balance. It’s only when you balance out that statement with something on the other side, in this case a Communist, that the concept of freedom of speech becomes so important,” Gibson says. It’s now a little more costly to support that right.” What the average American is and is not willing to put up with in our political system has been the emphasis of Gibson s research on political tolerance. His survey examining political tolerance in the context of the Houston referendum on the employment rights of homosexuals has led to some startling conclusions about why the referendum was defeated overwhelmingly more than 18 months ago. And his recently published book dealing with political intolerance focuses on incidents in Skokie, Illinois, a predominately Jewish town, where Nazis were permitted to demonstrate openly. Political tolerance goes further than deciding what people will and will not endure, its implications are as broad as the term democracy. Defined, democracy is majority rule with respect to minority rights.” Consequently, Gibson contends the study of tolerance is the study of democratic political cultures and the willingness of the majority to put up with minorities struggling for power.” Does political intolerance have implications for political behavior? Yes, Gibson states emphatically. People act intolerantly out of a keen sense of personal threat. Their motivation to act is based on such feelings as I’ve got to do something. I’ve got to prevent voted and why. Although the final vote was four-to-one against the measure, Gibson discovered that Houstonians are more tolerant of homosexuals than the vote would have someone believe. Statistics from Gibson’s survey show that 30 percent of registered voters supported the measure, 25 percent were unsure of their views, and 45 percent were opposed. These percentages don’t collaborate with a resounding four-to-one defeat, which Gibson attributes to voter turnout. The results of the survey definitely show the turnout factor biased the election,” Gibson commented. Those who op- Communist! Speak In My Community? No Wayr them from ruining my society.” It's easier to get people to act intolerantly because their immediate self-interest is at stake.” Locally, perhaps the most striking example of mass intolerance affecting political behavior was the January 1985 gay rights referendum which sought to prohibit discrimination based on an individual's sexual orientation. The four-to-one vote was indeed a clear voice against the measure, but Gibson contends there was more to the vote than meets the eye. Shortly after the referendum, and in coordination with the UH Center for Public Policy, Gibson and Kent Tcdin, associate professor of political science, conducted a telephone survey of 650 registered voters in Houston to determine who posed the measure turned out at a dramatically higher rate than those who supported it. Even though a plurality did oppose the referendum, overall, Houstonians are not nearly as intolerant as they appeared in this election. The key to the successful opposition in this election was its intensity. According to Gibson, those who oppose an issue, such as rights for an unpopular political minority, are twice as likely to have strong feelings than those in favor of the issue. Opposition to the gay rights referendum was intense. In fact, 24 percent of the survey respondents said their church leaders urged them to vote no. There weren’t many organizations that actively encouraged their people to go out and support the gay rights law, but much of the anti-gay vote was due to people who voted because their group told them to get out there and vote, Gibson said. Even if the pro-gay-groups encouraged their people to vote, those groups just didn't number as many, and therefore couldn’t have had as big an impact on the outcome. Only four months earlier, Houstonians held the fate of a $595 million bond issue, funding road improvement, fire stations and park land, in their hands. Despite the fact that voters were deciding whether or not to hand over millions of tax dollars only eight percent of registered voters turned out, with a majority voting yes. Turnout for the gay rights referendum was nearly four times as high, thus demonstrating the intensity of the issue. Gibson’s research of political tolerance among the public has showed that minorities, overall, are more tolerant and receptive to basic civil liberties, mainly because they are worried about their own civil liberties. Gibson says this is one reason why blacks voted in favor of the gay-rights referendum, while whites voted against by a nine-to-onc margin. It’s a fear on the part of minorities that if other people are denied rights, they'll be denied theirs too. In a survey of Houston's Gay-Political Caucus, Gibson discovered that the gay's hatred of their biggest political enemy, the Moral Majority, is extremely intense, but members of the Caucus were more inclined to allow their foes basic civil rights. Consequently, the gay-community strongly supported the right of Nazis to hold an anti-gay demonstration in Houston's Montrose section in 1984. Virtually anyone is more tolerant after victimization, Gibson points out. Women are an exception to that rule. Although women still face numerous types of discrimination, Gibson has discovered that they are less toler- 165 ant than men. This stems from the fact that women are more religious than men, and those who are religious tend to be more intolerant than the average person. Gibson says it may also be due to a lack of consciousness among women that they are a victimized minority. Houstonians, on average, tend to be as tolerant or intolerant as the general United States population, which is why Gibson feels it is important to point out that the gay rights referendum was not typical of Houstonians' views toward homosexuality. Even those who voted against the ordinance are not vehemently against gays, Gibson says. But, the negative threat posed to people by homosexuality was a lot stronger than the threat of employment discrimination against people. They didn't want an anti-discrimination ordinance, but they didn't want to put gays in jail either.” In another study of political intolerance. Gibson has tested the elitist theory of democracy as it pertained to incidents in Skokie, Illinois, where Nazis were permitted to demonstrate openly. The elitist theory of democracy asserts that democracy is protected when citizens remain relatively uninvolved in politics. Because citizens are relatively intolerant of unpopular political minorities, and political leaders are dramatically more tolerant, the democratic rights of political minorities are best secured under the condition of mass apathy. In their book Civil Liberties and Nazis: The Skokie Free• Speech Controversy, Gibson and co-author Richard Bingham hypothesize that lo- There were strong reactions to this Ku Klux Klan march on lower Wcstheimcr in 1984. While most of the anti-Klan groups are against the KIan's views on homosexuality, they generally support the Klan's right to protest in the predominately gay community. Photo by Mark Lacy. cal rights conflicts are most likely to reach a democratic conclusion when they become salient enough to attract national attention.” The Skokie incident involved Frank Collin, head of the National Socialist Party of America, who, in early 1977, wrote to a number of Chicago suburbs, including Skokie, requesting permission to protest a Chicago policy requiring demonstrators to post a $250,000 insurance bond before the Park District would issue a permit to demonstrate. Skokie officials responded by adopting three ordinances intended to prevent the Nazis from demonstrating, including a policy requiring demonstrators to post a $350,000 insurance bond. After the Nazis were denied a request to demonstrate, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed suite in federal court to invalidate all three ordinances. In February 1987, the Federal Court for the Northern District of Illinois declared Skokie's three ordinances unconstitutionals. Skokie then lost its appeal to the Circuit Court of Ap-peals, and the U.S. Supreme Court denied the case review. Although the decision did not rule in favor of the majority, it was democratic because it protected the rights of the minority to protest and compete for political power through democratic means. In a study financed by the ACLU and the National Science Foundation, Gibson surveyed 20,000 leaders and members of the ACLU and concluded that the elitist theory of democracy was upheld. Gibson contends that it is precisely elite support for democratic norms, even in the absense of elite consensus, that generated the democratic outcome in Skokie, not the structure of the judiciary, nor the lack of antidemocratic activity by the masses. Gibson has now turned his attention to researching whether public opinion shaped the policies of the states toward political minorities during the McCarthy and Vietnam eras. Funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, Gibson is conducting a 50-state survey to test hypotheses about the policy consequences of political intolerance. During the 1950s and the 1970s, American states — with Texas at the forefront — passcc a wide variety of legislation restricting the political rights o' unpopular minorities, espcciallj Communists. Gibsons’s research, which he expects to finish this year, is designed to determine whether these period? of American history confirm the elitist theory of democracy and assess the degree to whicl these repressive public policie: resulted from the demands of an aroused and intolerant majority. In the long term, Gibson be lieves the political tolerance o Americans can be increased. A education levels continue tc rise, as women enter main stream politics, and as the ur banization of society pro gresses, Gibson predicts tha respect for, and perhaps ever appreciation of, political difference will also increase. Ultimately, abuses of democracy can be only minimizec in a system in which both elite; and masses share the values o majority rule, with guaranteec opportunities for the minorit to become a majority.” — Patricia Healy' 166 Thomas Cobb, a recent graduate of the UH creative writing program, has sold his first novel following competitive bidding from six major publishers for the manuscript rights. Harper and Row is printing 25.000 copies of his novel, Crazy Heart, for first release in September. A typical first print is 5.000 copies, Cobb said. Author Rosellen Brown, one of Cobb's instructors in the UH program, has spoken with his editor at Harper and Row. They have great expectations for Crazy Heart — far beyond the average novel, she said. Tom's book is going to be much read and talked about. It's going to make a big impact.” Cobb, reluctant to discuss his advance, did say that it was substancial for a book not in- tended for the popular market. It’s more than what's typically given for a first novel. Crazy Heart is about country-western singer Bad Blake, a 56-year old alcoholic, who has been four times married and four times divorced. Very popular in the late '50s and early '60s, Blake has lost his popularity and his record label. Now, he plays with a house band in a Houston bar. While on his annual working roadtrip, Blake finds his son, who he hasn't seen in 20 years, and falls in love with a woman in Santa Fe. He tries to build a real relationship with the woman, but he doesn't know how. He looks for a redemption he can't find,” Cobb said. His aculturation is too much for him to overcome. Nevertheless, Cobb said the novel is a tragi-comedy. Bad is a funny guy. He is an interesting character that I like a lot. Cobb, 39, said his novels are not planned out. He just lets them go and follows their direction. Discussing this technique, he quoted the poet Wiliam Stafford: Writing is a way of finding something to say that you wouldn't have said if you hadn’t started writing. Crazy Hart is Cobbs, second attempt at a novel. The first was several years ago, but it went nowhere, he said. “I tell writing students you've got to fail a number of times to get to the good stuff. Sometimes you just have to clear the bad stuff out of the way. It's another way to gain ground. He said most writers have a lot of trouble seeing it that way because writing is so incredibly personal.” Writers must learn to objectify, to know that this is not me, this is something I wrote,” Cobb said. And I will learn to write better and better stuff. A large percentage of what we write is not successful.” Cobb came to Houston in 1982'because he could work on his PH.D. and continue writing. He was also attracted to the faculty, particularly Brown and Donald Barthelme. The creative writing program was still fairly new, but its reputation was building. People were talking about it, even in Arizona.” Tom knew what he was doing from the beginning, Brown said. He improved in the program, but he came in with a great deal of talent. Cobb said disciple is the major thing he learned at UH. I was always a binge writer, he said. I would write once every two or three weeks, then write all day and all night until I had something done.” Now, Cobb said, he writes five or sometimes six nights a week. I sit down until I have at least three pages. I won't quit until I have them, he said. At times I've been up until 2 a.m. struggling for that third page — other evenings I've finished as many as seven pages by 11 p.m. Currently, Cobb is teaching an introduction to fiction course at UH and is acting director of lower division studies. He is also writing another novel and working on revisions of Crazy Heart with Harper and Row. He will begin to read from his work in Rhode Island and will continue around the country through the fall. Crazy Heart will be pre-published for the American Booksellers Association Meeting this summer. Most publishers choose one or two books to pre-publish so booksellers have a chance to preview them, Cobb said. It's important; it means more advance sales.” Cobb earned his B.A. and M.A. in English and his M.F.A. in creative writing (poetry) from the University of Arizona. Before coming to Houston he was a bookstore owner in Tucson and Associate Editor of Newsreal, a music publication. — Marilyn Swanson 167 Where Are They Now? Missing In Action Or Home Is Where The Action Is The saga of John Indakwa continued throughout the year. As the Director of African and Afro-American Studies, Indakwa first stirred the waters when he cited racsism and bigotry as the reason African or Afro-American courses don't fulfill cultural heritage requirements for any major. He later retracted that statement. Then, more than a month into the spring, Indakwa had not shown up to teach his classes. It was reported that he was missing in Africa — passport impounded. The U.S. State Department became involved. Carl Lewis — the man in question. Track star or rock star' After winning four gold medals in 1984 at the Los Angeles Olympic Games, music became a diversion for Lewis. His premiere as a singer took place at NRG. a favorite club among teens. The twenty minute set also featured three female back-up singers and an air guitarist. The short set included Break It Up, his single which made it on the pop charts in Belgium, France and Spain. He plans to release an album in the U.S. Along with his singing. Lewis has looked into the possibility of acting. And, he hopes to go back to the Olympics in ’88.

Now that he's planning to retire — more than a decade later — Lofstrom is amazed at the way time has flown. Somehow teaching got into my blood, he says. I love it. Education is such a challenge; every class, every student is different. Lofstrom, an adjunct professor in the College of Technology, is used to challenges. In 1978, he conceived, financed and established an industrial distribution major at UH with the cooperation and financial support of interested businessmen. Five years later, 350 students were enrolled in the interdisciplinary program. Many of them were transfers from other universities who came to UH specifically for the major he had designed. They love it because it's practical, Lofstrom, 74, said. I take them to trade conventions and into plants, and distributors lecture at plants, and distributors lecture at the University. The kids get terrific exposure that leads to jobs. Lofstrom's practical approach to education emanated from years of business and experience. For a long time, he was Standard Oil of New Jersey's marketing coordinator for industrial products, overseeing worldwide sales. When the company decentralized his department, Lofstrom left it and accepted a job with Exxon in Houston. After one year, Lofstrom decided to retire at the age of 60, when he felt the fun and challenge had gone from my work. After an extended trip to Europe with his wife, Lofstrom decided it was time to get busy again. In January 1974, he began his new career at UH with two marketing classes and definite ideas about the type of teacher he wanted to become. I wanted to teach the kinds of classes that I would have liked in college,” he said. I wanted to be fair and honest with the kids and available for help at any time. And because he understood the needs of business, he attempted to make his students more job-ready by relating personal experiences and non-textbook solutions. I've been out in the real world long enough to know when it's different from textbook theories, he said. Lofstrom listened when distributors suggested UH's program could be strengthened by adding some basic mechanical engineering to existing marketing and management courses. They (distributors) felt very strongly that it would help the kids sell the products if they could read drawings and understand machinery and motors,” Lofstrom said. With his dean's permission, Lofstrom and a small group of distributors created the curriculum for a four-year major in industrial distribution. Their plan was approved, but no University funds were budgeted for it. Lofstrom went back to the distributors for financial support. It took one-and-a-half years to raise the $35,000 I had estimated we'd need to start the program, he said. Through the years, he has continued to finance his department with business contributions and has raised more than $200,000. I don't ask the University for anything, Lofstrom said. Due to the current economic downturn, however, distributors' contributions are down and fewer students sec a future in the major. There are only about 150 in the program today, Lofstrom said. It's heartbreaking to see it drop off. It will come back, but it will take time.” — Marilyn Swanson At year's end. Dean of Students Con- once again.

Almost Anything Is Within Your Grasp As Long As You Can Conquer Your Fear And Apply Your Imagination Fred Baldwin Prepares To Move On Looking at the clock, I realized that once again my photography teacher would be fashionably late for class. Well, perhaps traditionally is the right word. It was not long before he came through the door. As usual he was dressed in baggy pants with stuffed pockets. I have never seen him wear a tie; of course it would look kind of funny with a safari shirt. A heavy bag of camera equipment hung from one shoulder, and with his other arm he pinned a folder stuffed with papers to his side. Unla-dening himself, he dropped into the chair behind the desk at the front of the room, then puffing up his cheeks he blew out a long slow breath of air. With both hands he combed his white hair back over his ears until his fingers meshed at the back of his head. Leaning way back in his chair, he placed his moccassined feet on the desk and addressed the class with raised eyebrows and an expression that seemed to ask, Well, what do you want to do today!’ The room was silent for a minute. Well, what do you want to do today,” he asked. Outside of the classroom, I had heard a lot about Fred Bal -dwin. I had heard him described as a famous photographer and a world traveler. I knew he had worked for the country's best magazines. I decided to ask him to consent to a personal interview. He accepted and we made a lunch date for the following Tuesday. I tracked him down Tuesday after my morning class and we decided to conduct the interview at a local Chinese restaurant. We had an hour and a half before we had to be back for afternoon classes. As we got into Baldwin's BMW he started his story in 1955 at Columbia University. At that time he was entering his last year of college, and as he saw it, his last year of freedom. Faced with realization, Baldwin made an important decision. I decided to go to Europe,” he told me as he drove. I went to Paris where I got mixed up with this woman and went to a lot of night clubs and parties and so on. I had a good time. Determined to have a variety of different experiences, Baldwin left the Paris night life to spend several weeks living with Mormon missionaries. Then it was off to spearfish on an island in the south of France. But the adventure that would most affect his life was yet to come. He set out to visit Pablo Picasso. Not minding the artist's reputation of being impossible to interview, Baldwin found his house in Cannes, knocked on the door, and told the doorman he was a famous American journalist and had come to interview Monsieur Picasso. I was scared to death, said Baldwin. Here's the worlds' greatest artist, and here 1 am a young squirt from Columbia University. Of couse, I didn't get in. But I persisted.” After four days of persisting Baldwin still had not gotten past the front door. But while studying a book on Picasso's latest exhibition, The Human Comedy, he discovered what he thought might be the key. He noted a bizzare humor which permeated the work, and it gave him an idea. I decided that that was the way I had to get to him,” Baldwin said as we pulled in front of the restaurant. I had to do something slightly outrageous. So I wrote him a letter which said, Monsieur Picasso, I have been sitting here on your doorstep for four days. Then I drew a picture of myself on the second day with this beard, and on the third day with this long beard coming down. I wrote, Soon I am going to look like Moses, and I'd like to come in and take some pictures of you so I can go to Florence, where I have some money, and shave my beard off. Then I drew a picture of myself in Florence with a big smile on my face while shaving off this beard. Well I sent this letter in and two minutes later Picasso sent his daughter out to get me. He wanted to sec my beard! Inside the restaurant Baldwin continued his life story between mouthfuls of rice, skillfully managed with chopsticks. Fork in hand. I listened intently as he told me how his experience with Picasso had taught him an inspirational lesson. Almost anything is within 170 Fred Baldwin came co the University of Houston in 1981 to teach photography. His own work depicts a great human interest. He worked as a fundraiser and organizer and photographed Dr. Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement. His documentary projects are portraits of a peoples' way of life, such as black cowboys or the people of the German hill country. His work has been published in major European and American magazines. Baldwin will retire from UH after the spring of '87 so that he can dedicate more time to the 1988 Houston International Foto Fest, and to his own work. 171 I want people to speak out and come up with their own opinions. If I think their reasoning is stupid, then I’ll argue with them. But I don’t expect them to agree with me.” your grasp,” he said, as long as you can conquer your fear and apply your imagination. After an incredible summer, Baldwin headed back to New York to finish school. He tried to write a book about his adventures in Europe, but found that he didn’t like spending most of his time in front of a typewriter. It was then he decided that he wanted to be a photographer. After graduating, Baldwin felt an obligation to what his family expected of him. He made a half-hearted attempt to secure a 'regular job' with an advertising agency. When they offered the job to him, he said he would take it only if they doubled the salary. The agency gave the job to someone else and a relieved Baldwin headed home to Georgia and began teaching himself about photography. In six months time he had made enough money taking pictures of children to finance another trip to Europe. He set off with the intention of becoming a magazine photo journalist. But Baldwin quickly discovered that it is one thing taking pictures of children in your hometown, where everyone knows you, and quite another thing to be on the street in a foreign country. There you are, he explained as I bit into an eggroll. You're there, and you have got your cameras and a little bit of money, and then what? I was as far from being a photojourna-list as I had ever been. But I was in the position that there was no turning back, and that was the big difference. Alot of people want to be photojournalists, or whatever they want to be, but they sit on the safe ground and never become those things because they don't have to. I had to. Either I was going to do that, or I was going to starve to death. I used my thumb to get the last of my rice onto the fork as Baldwin told me of how he avoided places where there were a lot of American photgraphers. He couldn't stand up to the competition, and besides, he wanted to do something adventurous. He had this idea about traveling with the Lapplanders on a reindeer migration, but without press credentials he couldn't get the necessary help from the Swedish foreign office. So he tried covering a European championship track event, but you have to have credentials to get into those also. So what I did, he said, was to scope out the situation. Charm was not going to get me in, and there was no sense of humor available to tap. I had to use some other dramatic tactic. So I went to the press office just at the height of confusion, walked in with all my cameras hanging around my neck, walked up to someone who spoke English and said, have you got my press credentials? . The man responded, Are you the guy from Sports Illustrated? and I said yes . So they handed me all the credentials for this poor guy from Sports Illustrated, and off I went. Baldwin's pictures of the 172 I find that students are expected to be recepticles and professors just to pour in all of the knowledge.” track event were not good enough to do anything with, but armed with his new press credentials he returned to the Swedish foreign office and secured a pass to Lappland. He went and photographed the Lapps, then returned to Stockholm to find that, once again, he had taken bad pictures. He went back to the foreign office with a tragic story of a broken camera and secured another pass for the journey north. This time he got some good pictures. He sent them to an agent he knew in New York, and she soon wrote back saying that she had just sold the photos to Sports Illustrated. Baldwin had accomplished his first major magazine breakthrough. The next big event that Baldwin was able to talk his way into despite a lack of proper credentials, was a royal party thrown for Nobel laureates at the Stockholm city hall. After just barely getting in, Baldwin ended up chatting with the King of Sweden as the press attache from the American embassy followed close behind carrying his camera equipment. He next went to Norway to shoot pictures of the codfishing industry for the National Geographic. At least that’s what he told the fishermen. At the time, the Geographic had probably never heard of Fred Baldwin, and they certainly had not sent him to photograph codfish. But there he was, above the Arctic Circle, in the Lofoten Islands. It was there Baldwin met an old newspaper writer who had been a resistance fighter in the war. Jokingly, the newswriter suggested that Baldwin get into the water and photograph cod-fishing from the point of view of the codfish. Baldwin thought it was a great idea. Before he was through, he had enlisted the aid of the Norwegian Navy which sent him off on a destroyer with a diving team to produce a story which eventually was published by the National Geographic. Baldwin quickly developed a reputation with the magazine industry as a man who could get the job done, whether it was photgraphing gypsies in the south of France or leading an arctic polar bear expedition for Life Magazine. We paused to give the waiter room to clear our table and then Baldwin started telling me about the serious work that he had done. In 1962 he became involved in the Civil Rights Movement, as a photographer, fundraiser, and organizer. In 1964 he accepted a position as Peace Corp director in Borneo. After spending two years there, Baldwin decided that administrative work was not for him and returned to his former role as a photographer. He photographed in India, Afghanistan, Thailand and the Far East, and then returning to the U.S., began doing commercial advertising assignments for resorts. As I sucked on my last ice cube, Baldwin told me how he used his photographs to help a doctor raise $600,000 to build a clinic in a poverty stricken area of South Carolina. Clearly it is this type of work that he is most proud of. His interest has turned more and more away from what he calls superficial magazine projects , and toward serious documentary work. In 1972 he focused on Texas and produced a body of work that brought his him first major art exhibition at the Philips Collection in Washington, D.C. In 1975 Baldwin started teaching documentary photography at the University of Texas, and in 1981 came to the University of Houston. In Houston, Baldwin put together the largest photo festival in the western hemisphere. Dubbed Fotofcst, it debuted in 1986 and Baldwin is currently raising funds for the next festival in 1988. This year he has raised three quarters of a million dollars and he expects the figure to be one million by year's end. The lunch crowd was start- ing to thin out as we took up the topic of education. In my teaching, Baldwin said, I want people to speak out and come up with their own opinions. If I think their reasoning is stupid, then I'll argue with them. But I don't expect them to agree with me. I expect them to think for themselves, and I don't find our education conducive to that kind of approach. I find that students arc expected to be recepticles and professors just to pour in all of the knowledge. I just find that ridiculous. Baldwin paused for a moment. He looked at his watch. Oh my god, We're late for class. — Dan Alder EDITORS NOTE: From the first time he sends a student to take a picture of the thing they are most afraid of (usually a policeman), Fred Baldwin’s teaching methods utilize bold notions and far out ideas as a means for overcoming obstacles. Most students tend to wonder if it is possible, in this day and age. to set out to accomplish something the way Fred did in his younger days. They say, the world was different then. But ocassionaly one of his students takes a giant step toward doing something they really want to do. with courage they probably couldn't get from anyone but Fred Baldwin. 173 174 Upon retiring, Fred Baldwin, the head of photojournalism at UH will concentrate all of his efforts on the 1988 Houston International Foto Fest. He is the founder of Foto Fest and given the popularity of the 1986 event, it will be an even greater accomplishment to repeat that success. In 1984, Baldwin was busy talking up a storm, trying to set the wheels in motion to create the world's largest festival of photography — a sizeable ambition. There were skeptics at UH that wanted compromises. Many people thought that Fred couldn’t handle a task as big as his imagination, but he did. He took his show on the road — outside of the University — en- I am very sorry. I am very iorry to lose contact with the students particularly. That's the part I enjoyed the most. But to do the job right, I would have had to incorporate more of what I'm putting into Foto Fest. Teaching and administering a million dollar program, plus trying to do some freelance work and a couple of book projects I'm working on — there just aren't enough hours in the day. It would have been nice to listing the support of Benteler Gallaries as a home base and many photographic and non-photographic related sponsors. What would be a concurrent 35-exhibition festival in March '86, soon grew to 63 exhibitions, from Diverse Works to Coca Cola Headquarters. Foto Fest incorporated the education community as well with exhibits on campus at Blaffer Gallery, Lawndale Annex and M.D. Anderson Library. At Rice, the galleries, the museum and the media center were booked. From hard news to fine arts, childrens photography, travel photography, space photography ... the festival presented all kinds. Anything was possible — from the famous Robert have a marriage of the two (Foto Fest and teaching), but that is not practical with the current setup. I really am sorry that it (Foto Fest) is not attached in some way to the university, but by nature, these things have to be done with a great deal of flexibility. People have to give you a wide authority and support to do it, and the structure of controls here would have made it difficult. We have the best festival in the country. We could have had Frank at the Museum of Fine Arts, to the innovative Bernard Faucon at the Houston Center for Photography, to the controversial Joel Peter Witkin at Butler Gallery. Baldwin decided that the first Month of Photography in the United States should also be first in the world. So he organized 'the Meeting Place in the Warwick Hotel lobby. A person could discuss photography with John Szarkowski, Robert Heinecken, Duane Mi-chals, Helmut Newton, William Klein, Suzanne Szasz, Martin Parr ... With over 100 distinguished guests from fifteen countries around the world, the public Meeting Place was the big topper. the best photographic program in the country but for a lack of vision on the part of the people who couldn't see that. It is really not surprising, because you don't find that kind of vision in many places. It's really hard within a university. Nobody else in this country has created what I had in mind. I would have brought in people. Experts. National and International photojournalism experts, who could have really put some excitement into the When it was all over, Fred's grand idea — the 1986 Foto Fest — had attracted 175,000 people to Houston and brought $7 million in revenue to the economy. Metro established bus routes to facilitate transportation and twenty-three hotels set aside rooms (15,400 room nights) to accomodate visitors. By no means did the Foto Fest fall short of its expec • tations. In 1988, the Society of Photographic Educators is planning its convention in Houston during the Foto Fest. From February 26 • March 25, the 1988 Month of Photography will be no breeze to organize. In the ever-changing world of photography, there will be new and greater challenges to meet in every aspect of the festival. program. Bring them in for a couple of weeks to turn people on. The problem with that was that it takes a certain amount of funding and organizational effort, and when 1 realized that the university had some other priorities and there was a real problem economically at the school, I saw that this wasn't going to be possible. So I start • ed putting some energy into doing the same thing with an international arena, with Foto Fest. I didn't think the conditions were right to develop that (Foto Fest) in a declining economy at the university. But I was able to develop it independently — on my own — in terms of a festival. We'll have 21 photographers in Houston, running 12 workshops. The festival will have some of the finest photographers in the world. They didn't think I could do it, probably. It probably seemed like a hairbrained scheme to a lot of people. But I thought it would work — and it did. Interview with Fred Baldwin by Daniel Alder. 175 We’re Not Gonna Take It Lawrence Wolf. Dean of the College of Technology, spoke at the rally, making the analogy that it was so well organized, no UH administrators could have been involved. Photo by Michael Williams. Photos above by Darrell Hutto and Michael Williams. About 250 chanting demonstrators gathered in Cullen Plaza to protest the UH Budget Advisory Council's proposed elimination of the College of Technology and the Department of Human Development and Consumer Sciences. Many students carried signs reading We're mad as hell” and Who's next? while shouting Where's Van Horn?” and Hell no, we won't go,” between speeches given by faculty, alumni and students. Some students' children were also carrying signs. Glenda Burger s husband is a technology student. Burger said she brought her children to the rally to protest what she called sheer stupidity. The sign says it all. These programs aren't glamorous; that's why they're being hit. If they want to cut something, cut football,” she said. No academic departments should be cut. The council, apppointed by President Richard Van Horn to evaluate the University's financial status and recommend changes, released a preliminary report in early February recommending the elimination of certain programs and cutbacks in others. The 24-member council is comprised of non-voting administrators, faculty and two students, and will submit a final recommendation to Van Horn after receiving feedback from faculty and students. Technology Dean Lawrence Wolf criticized the council's structure and process, citing its lack of technology representation and its failure to thoroughly research the program. The decision was based on some people’s elitist notion of a university, not quality or research, he said. Comparing the rally's organizers to UH administrators, Wolf said, “This rally was so effectively organized I know no UH administrator could have been involved. Amid students' cheers. Wolf praised the 1,500-member technology school's academic accomplishments and cited its national reputation as a leader in the field. UH alumnus and Texas A M engineering technology professor Bill Grubbs agreed, saying UH technology faculty were essential in initiating advancements in the field, including the establishment of a guideline for technology schools and a professional journal. 176 Some of the participants brought their children to symbolize the importance of the departments facing elemination to their future. Photo by Darrell Hutto. Other photos by Michael Williams. UH provides leadership. Graduates play critical roles in the industry, he said. Don Hartscll, president of manufacturing company Airdex Inc., and graduate of the UH Law School, said he was amazed at the council's suggestion. They didn't evaluate the mission of the university or apparently think about the impact of the local community, he said. Harsell read a letter he said he would send to community leaders and the Board of Regents which said a void would be created” by the college's removal and the Engineering school cannot provide what technology does. HDCS student leaders and department chair Vincent He-garty questioned one of the council's criteria for targeting the quality of faculty and students of certain departments. Veronica Kahanek, HDCS honor society president, said many of the program's graduates work extensively in the Medical Center, an activity the council's report states it wants UH to continue. I consider it a personal insult for the council to consider us less than top quality, she said. Hegarty also criticized the council's proposal to save money by eliminating a 300-member academic program with a budget of only $84,000. Cornell, the University of Illinois and other major universities have this program. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for UH, Hegarty said. HDCS student Tracy Morris said the department may have been targeted because 88 percent of its students arc female. This recommendation is a byproduct of the administration's attitude, she said. Rally organizer and Technology student leader Curtis Herman said the rest of the campus should take note. Just think what we could do if we got serious about the situation, he said. Herman said future action by technology students will depend on the UH administration's response. Kahanek said HDCS students will concentrate on recruiting new students and increasing campus and outside awareness of the program. She said the rally should prove that we ll put up a good fight. Vice President of Academic Affairs A. Benton Cocan-oughcr, a non-voting council member, said the council welcomes and anticipates student feedback such as that provided by the rally. 177 — Susan Borrcson Graduates Abbassi.

But many students Find time for the annual celebration and parade in Galveston. It takes place on the Saturday prior to the grand daddy parade in New Orleans. People from miles around crowd onto the island, many in costumes, and line up from the Sea Wall to the Strand to see the floats that will go on to the French Quarter. A real partygoer without concern for classes could leave Glaveston in the early morning hours and go on to New Orleans in time for the even more bizarre, outrageous festivities there.

The annual affair is a test of strength for the HRM school and it provides students with necessary experience to work in the real world. The evening is choreographed well in advance and finally executed in grand style. The price is upwards of $60, relative to inflation. The elegance that the dinner guest experiences however, is a far cry from the mania behind the scenes. Ask an HRM student how it feels afterwards — they're glad it's over. Photo by Dcdnna Rodriguez.

The Houston International Festival brings many cultures to eight stages downtown. And it includes some of the locals, such as Dr. Rockit, that may be just as foreign to the massive audiences.

The eleven day festival provides for students, cultures many of them may Find rare in their home state. Photos by l in Alder. Anthony Price: A Houston Institution Morning has broken, like the first morning. Good morning, ladies. What a beautiful day,” he said, taking off his hat with a bow. And the two young girls just giggled and rushed right by him. His face is not funny but he nevertheless makes people laugh. You could call him either the University’s favorite entertainer, or a pain in the neck. He is Anthony Price, or Tony. Perhaps the best way to describe Tony is not by his height, which happens to be six feet, nor by his weight — a tad on the heavy side — but by his trademark derby hat and black briefcase, for in good weather or in bad, Tony Price never forgets to don his derby or carry his briefcase. ”1 have had my derby hat for the last ten years, and my briefcase ever since Junior High,” he said, tipping his derby and wishing two more people a good morning. The hat is so precious to him that in foul weather he protects it with plastic. Tony's favorite colors are black, brown, and white. If you have ever seen him on your way to class, you must have noticed that he usually wears black or brown pants and a white shin. REBUKED Singing is Tony's passion, and perhaps his vice. And sometimes he is rebuked for his rather outlandish behavior. One morning he was walking by the University Center — crooning a classic 30s song as usual — a stranger came up to him and said, I think you should be on TV so when you come on it, we can shut you off. But did that bother Tony? No. Tony just went right on with his song, walking away in his jaunty manner. Petty remarks don't bother me, he said, I sing because I want to make people happy. To Tony, all those University students who pass by him and giggle nervously, are not really making fun of him but are being made happy by him. Many people feel that I sing to draw attention [to myself]. but that isn't true at all,” he said. Tony has never had any formal musical training, but that hasn't deterred him in the least. My interest in old movies, musicals, and stars of the thirties like Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra inspired me to sing, he said. Tony began singing in 1980, Five years after his mother's death, but he denies his singing as having anything to do with the tragedy. At the time when I was growing up, most black children were listening to James Brown or Kool and the Gang, but I was more interested in Fred Astaire and Glen Miller,” he said. COMEDIAN, ACTOR OR SINGER Tony is 26 years old and an only child. His father is a security officer at the Federal Reserve, but Tony himself is currently unemployed. He lives at home with his father and Grandparents on Scott Street, near the University. I want to enter showbusiness as a comedian, actor or singer after I graduate, he said, adding that right now he is studying to complete a degree in Radio and Television, with a minor in Drama. But singing is not Tony’s only interest. Not surprisingly, he collects records too. His collection encompasses over 400 titles. Also Tony is an accomplished artist. He loves to draw pictures of the stars and collect their autographs. I have a collection of over 200 autographs — famous people like Robert Young, Bill Cosby, Yul Bryn-ner and Mohammed Ali. His other hobby is visiting Shasta. She is privileged every morning to hear Tony sing, for never does a day pass without Tony visiting her. His reason for visiting her is, Her eyes intrigue me, and so she gets to hear, Morning has broken like the first morning, blackbird has spoken like the first bird. ...” 184 Seniors Schulte, Matthew C.

Well this time it was the Tempietto de St. Pietro. For this educational experience, second year students worked ’round the clock to build an exact sized duplicate of the original temple in Rome. The incredible undertaking was not intended to just occupy the students time. With their effort they could now begin to appreciate the methods of classical architechure. The wooden replica, ironically, was built in the atrium of the new Architecture Building, which opened for classes in the summer and is also a replica. But if this Tempietto de St. Pietro, shown under construction, got in to the Architecture Building, how did it get out? Did you hear about the man who built a boat in his Basement?

The program provides one free meal each day for people living on .low, fixed incomes. In addition it offers individuals like Lester, who might otherwise go for a long period of time seeing no one, an opportunity for companionship. I got to know Lester in 1979 when I began teaching Art at nutrition sites around Houston. At first it was a peculiar experience, being around so many people who were blind, or had brain damage, or one of the numerous other afflictions common to an older population. And from time to time it still is; however the companionship I have with my old friends has enriched my life, and I have learned something about myself because of this. So in 1983 I began a photo-documentation of the Art-students who were interested. Each time I photograph someone in the program I try to get an autobiography so that when the project is finished, there will hopefully be a vivid record of our relationship for myself, as well as evidence of the effectiveness of this massive and complicated federal aid program which has actually reached and helped many of the old people in America.

Enamored by a certain Cougar Doll, the player — obviously not one of his team's stars — slipped off the bench and into the game, thoroughly embarrassed. No one really knows what effect the basketball band and drill teams' jeers, sneers and comical signs have on opposing players or coaches. Discussions of zone defenses, free throws and fouls leave little time in pregame meetings for worrying about dancing women or weirdos with rubber noses. But Guy Lewis once said that on a decent night the Cougar Brass and Dolls were good for a few points to his team. (In a case such as the one above, the Dolls might have even greater value: If you can't get a player into the game, he surely wouldn’t score.) Lewis' successor, Pat Foster, believes it is impossible to mea- In Action Dreaded By Others sure the band’s effect on a game. But he does know the value of a deafening crowd, having played and coached at the SWC's only legitimate bastion of fan support, Arkansas. College basketball is one of the few sports that the fans actually can affect the game,” Foster says. When I was at Arkansas, Houston was at the forefront of this kind of thing with the band. They took it beyond the entertainment aspect. While the UH band's external fortune and exposure rose with the UH basketball team's ascent to three straight Final Fours in the early 1980s, former band director Gregory Tal-ford's regime was abruptly toppled by the university in 1984. In the years before and after Talford’s departure, times were tough for the band and drill team. Nearly three years later, the band seems again on the move, under the direction of Robert Mayes, part of a husband-wife team in the music department. Diane Mayes supervises the 24-member Cougar Dolls. In 1984, Mayes took over a band with dwindling numbers and a seemingly dim future — especially when compared to its colorful past. The band, deeply divided over Talford's policies. had only 43 members. Twenty or so others could be countec on to march. The first goal was to tun around the attitude of the fans athletes and university towarc the band, Mayes says. Sec ond, we had to increase mem bership. Last fall, the marching ban counted among its loyal mem bers 180 UH students. An am bitious recruiting program con tinues. Even more members ar expected next year, veteran members say. An upcoming trip to France for an international exhibition is proof of bette: times. Mayes says. When the band and dri 1 team take to the floor of Hof-heinz Pavillion, you might witness or hear any number of attempts to shake opponent:. You might even see one that works. Three years ago, in a game against University of the Pacific, band members continued to heckle a Pacific player until he flipped Mayes off. We tell the band to be creative, Mayes says. Many of them are knowledgable about the game. We just ask that they keep class in what they say.” Ironically, it was Mayes who 210 was nearly thrown out of the Pavilion one evening when he ranted and raved about one of the many horrible calls SWC referees frequently seem to make. The ref came up and said. ‘Sit down or I'll throw you out,’” he says. The four members of the Tubads sect of the band — where many of the most original chants and signs appear — complain that the SWC eliminates much of the opportunity to shake opposing players. Five-year senior Steve Berube, a veteran of Houston's most recent Final Four appearance, is one of them. The conference says bands behind the goal can't wave arms or signs to make players miss free throws. So now we do other things, like adjust our ties. The bottom line is that we're trying to irritate the other team and coaches. Among the bands' biggest SWC coaching targets, says third-year sophomore Frik Norton, are TCU’s Jim Kil-lingsworth and Texas Tech's Gerald Myers. ’They’re both short, kind of squatty types. They don't look like coaches. Superstition plays a part in the band's preparation and game time demeanor. When the first warmup shot is made,” Berube says, we know if UH will win. If it goes in, we always win. But I admit we’ve never proved that theory. Norton is quick to take crcd -it for senior forwards Greg Anderson and Rickie Winslow's improvement at the free throw line. They improved when we changed the stance of our tubas, he says. We're sure of it. — Erin Powers Cougar Band Director.

Left annex at 9:30 p.m. for Intercontinental Airport. A channel 11 camera crew was at the airport interviewing Mr. and Mrs. Mayes and taping our departure. Our flight, which was scheduled to aepart at 11:59 p.m., was unable to leave until about 1:30 a.m. due to stormy weather. Thur. 2 26: Arrived in Nice, France around 7:30 p.m. (France time). Went directly to the Acropolis in downtown Nice where 26 band members rehearsed on stage for a television special to be aired world-wide, and rest of us rehearsed for a TV commercial (promo for the Mardi Gras festivities). We checked into the Plaza Hotel (across the street from the Mediterranean) around 10 p.m. The 26 did not get back until around 1 a.m. Fri. 2 27: Was a rough day for the 26 Acropolis people. They had to be at a rehearsal at the Acropolis at about 1 p.m. and had to remain there, in uniform, until their performance time at 8:30. They Finally returned to the notel around 10:30 p.m. The ' commercial people had a free day to explore Nice until commercial taping time around 8:45 p.m. outside of the Acropolis. After the performances were done, all band members reunited and spent most of the night exploring Nice and strolling along the rocky beaches of the Riviera. Sat. 2 28: The morning was spent shopping, touring Nice, etc. Just after lunch, the entire band did an indoor concert which included traditional marching band tunes, jazz hits, Broadway tunes, the Cougar Dolls dancing to pop tunes, and a trombone player Du Wayne Davis singing ’Summertime. Mr. and Mrs. Mayes were honored and presented with trophies. Immediately following the concert, the drumiine lined up outside the concert area and played some of their cadences. People crowded around the drummers and seemed to be very fascinated by their performance. It was almost as though the people had never seen a drumline. We marched in the Parade of Lights that evening which lasted about 2 hours. The streets of Nice were brilliantly lit with elaborate light configurations. Spectators either stood along sidewalks guarded by policemen or sat in stands similar to those at a football stadium (quite unlike the Galveston Mardi Gras Parade). They enjoyed spraying Silly String on the performers or hitting them witn squeaky plastic hammers. After the parade, band members, again, explored the nightlife in Nice. Sun. 3 1: We played an outdoor concert that morning much like the one on Saturday afternoon. The afternoon was spent marching in another parade. This time the band members were armed with Silly String and squeaky hammers ready to retaliate against hostile spectators (and each other). The rest of the day was free. Bebe Burns from Channel 2 News arrived tnat evening with a cameraman. Mon. 3 2: The morning was spent touring Monaco and the afternoon was spent touring a perfume factory and a glass factory. Bebe and her cameraman tagged along. We had a dance that evening which Bebe and tne cameraman attended. Tue. 3 3: The morning was free to do last minute shopping, sightseeing, etc. Some visited a ship of the U.S. 6th Fleet. The afternoon and evening brought yet two more parades and one more brief concert whicn Bebe covered. Most of the band members stayed up all night getting a final look at Nice and the French Riviera. Wed. 3 4: Left Nice around 10 a.m. and arrived back at the band annex around 5:30 p.m. (Houston time). Most returned tired with sore feet and empty wallets but with a memory' they will cherish for a lifetime. PH With all of the scheduled performances. Glenn Goode. Derek Diestel, Mike Cutrera.

But who would have noticed. The real competition was between the cheerleaders. It’s a case of reverse sexism. While the women were struggling for victory on the field, all eyes were on the male cheerleaders. No matter how voluptuous, the men in drag were all too short of grace. And as for dignity, they had none. The constant hurling of insults back and forth and cut-downs of the opponent came fast and furious. And raunchier than ever, most cheers being ir-repeatablc. The audience could barely begin to think about the game before more rhyming prophanity was being thrown at them. But hey, it’s the best free show on campus. The winning coach of the Towers team.

She likes to sit in her front yard and sip on a Mountain Dew or nap on her front porch, or go for an evening stroll around her neighborhood. Her house is quite outstanding and the neighbors enjoy it. Passersby stare at it, but that doesn’t bother her. It’s her home. On the occasion of her birthday, Priscilla treated herself to hamburgers and french fries and pepperoni pizza and for desert, cake and candy bars. She snacked on cinnamon rolls and donuts before the feast. The neighbors like to gossip about her eating habits, but Priscilla is comforable with her weight. And they say her house is a pig sty. Purple as it is, and strangelr decorated, Priscilla shares htr house with her best friend. H r roommate Victoria has lived i i Houston all her life, but Priscil • la is from San Marcos. Victor: i says Priscilla prefers city livin' to the country where it is moi: difficult to get attention. Priscilla and her sister, wh lives in San Marcos, are complete opposites. They are bon hefty farm girls, but Priscilla $ older sister moved back to ti e country after she became ai overnight heroine in 1984. Tie public attention was too muen for her after she swam out in Lake Somerville to save a drowning boy. She shyed awa i. So while Pricilla may eat Victoria out of house and home, her sister’s good deed has made life very comfortable for the 700 pound two-year-old. 218 Some people say Priscilla is a spoiled brat, but she thinks she's only human. It's true that Priscilla gets a lot of attention. If she wanders very far from her comfy home on Crawford Street, people gawk at her with amazement and delight. On her second birthday. Priscilla was more than happy to share pizza and crackers with her K-9 friends.

But some may r« onsider after living through V illic's creation. Farm Aid II at N nor Downs. It was no won-d r that 45,000 people turned o t under 95 degree crystal c! ar sky and blazing Texas si whine for what is traditionally Willie s Annual Fourth of Ji y Picnic. When we rolled into Austin at 4 am, traffic on Highway 290 w s already jammed and the p lice were just arriving to han-d! the parking problem. We rt ted and left Austin at 9 am to m ke the six mile pilgrimage t to Manor. It only took four h urs — that's better than one m ie per hour — to travel to the Ic ation that had been uncer-ta l until days before the event. It was evident that the costli-iv s of insuring a production of th s magnitude, having to cl nge the location several tir es. had left its organization in i state of hurried confusion. X'e filed past the ticket taker and metal detectors around or • o'clock, anticipating the h irs ahead. A sign read No G iss • No Cans • No Furni-tu We finally turned a cor-nt after an endless row of porta c toilets and sure enough, to th right and left as far as the ey could see, activity — kids thowing water, cowboys dn iking beer from plastic jugs, h Playboy Girls of Rock and toll were on the stage. Every- ody that claims to be anybody iad shown up to the benefit for armers and all the entertainers Maimed to be Willie's good friend. We had waited helplessly while the Blasters came over the radio. George Jones was also on early, before he got drunk. Waylon and Willie had performed Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys, but we finally arrived amongst all of Willie's friends with more than twelve hours ahead. The day was full of surprises such as the Grateful Dead being simulcast on the giant monitors and sound system, and pale-faced Excne Cervenka of X appearing in the daylight. The Nelsons broke into a Led Zepplin cover (one of those songs without a name) creating havoc — biker women stripped their tops exposing their tatoos while playing air guitars. Other local favorites were Joe Ely, the Fabulous Thunderbirds and of course Stevie Ray Vaughn's highlighting performance. High energy sets were provided by the frantic Jason and the Scorchers. Steppenwolf ( Born to be Wild ) and a spectacular six member band from L.A., the Unforgiven. The legends were also glad to come to the stage, legends like Roger Miller and Arlo Guthrie. It seemed as if the list would never end. It was apparent that everyone wanted to see Neil Young and John Cougar Mellencamp — who featured Maria McKee of Lone Justice, but didn't perform Rain on the Scarecrow,” a song about the plight of farmers. Most wouldn't leave without seeing the end, but exhaustion beat many of the fans. As the evening wore on, I had the feeling that this is one Jason of the Scorchers pot everything he had into their set on this Fourth of July. 1986 He is the son of an independent farm family. of those rare occasions when you are given too much for your money — over 80 acts in all. The cost of all this fun and sun: just $20 and a trip through the dreaded parking maze. When it all seemed said and done, Willie, who had been on the stage since sun-up. decided to play a set that wouldn't stop. It was as if he had given the crowd all it could handle and said, don't complain to me. Perhaps that was the major flaw of Farm Aid II — there was too much of everything: too much sun and too much music to absorb in one day. It truly was Willie Nelson hell, but for the money and the cause, it was worth it. — Mark Lacy Farm Aid appears to he great fun for these two children. But the reality of the situation is that one family farm goes under every six minutes in the USA. That would mean 180 farms may have failed during the course of this fun-Filled day. 221 The Future In Space UH architecture profettors Larry Bell and Guillermo Trotti are the director and assistant director of the Sasakawa International Center for Space Architecture. SICSA will be housed in the new Architecture building and will develop projects for such contractors as NASA. Boeing and Rockwell. Is At UH A Japanese philanthropic foundation presented the first of three $1 million gifts to the College of Architecture for an international center to develop and promote the peaceful uses of space and technology. The $3 million gift — the largest foreign gift the university has received — from the Japanese Shipbuilding Industry Foundation (JSIF) will fund the Sasakawa International Center for Space Architecture (SICSA), previously named the Center for Experimental Architecture. The money will fund research work for 13 to 15 students and increase enrollment in the College and also generate more graduate work. Our goal is to remain the world's leader for space architecture, Larry Bell, Director of SICSA and UH architecture professor said. The College is known world -wide in the field of space architecture. Of two symposiums in Washington, D.C. and Bristol, England, the UH delegation is the only group of architects invited. The rest of the visitors will be engineers. When you have a program like we have here, it's hard for me to be humble, Bell said. The JSIF is led by Japanese industrialist and philanthropist Ryiochi Sasakawa under the directive that Japan repay the world for its generosity during World War II. In a prepared statement read by UH President Richard Van Horn, Sasakawa said it is one of the pleasures of my life to be able to contribute to the SICSA of the Uni- versity of Houston to rea k peaceful and beneficial uses of space. Sasakawa received ie United Nations Peace Meda in 1982. With grants like this mak ng exploration possible, it is up to private industry and acade m to keep exploration in sp ce going. Bell said. We are committed to he progress and are not going to abandon leadership in spa he said. We have a need for orgi ii-zations like SICSA to act as he economic, political and scic ti-fic action drivers for the wot d's manned space programs.” Bell and SICSA s assoc ue director, Guillermo Trotti were two of the four co-founders of Sp ace Industries, Inc., a priwte firm that is developing an or! icing space laboratory schedu ed for launch by NASA's spice shuttle in 1992. Trotti's thesis as UH undergraduate, a lunar base co-de-signed with John Dossey, has been at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington. D.C. Bell said that not enough money and resources have beer set aside from business and Continued 222 government. Lee Hogan, president of the Houston Economic Development Council, said it shows the long term commitment that UH has that the world should focus on us for years to come.

Ximenes said the First semester was devoted to research aid data acquisition. The second semester we worked on the concept and the design and also took a course on lunar geology, he said. This course was very helpful because it familiarized us with the solar composition and the kind of terrains we were work- To Colonize The Moon ing with. The purpose of the lunar base is to have a means of existence on the moon in which research, mining and testing can be done. “But you don't start out on a full-blown scale — you have to go step by step, Ximenes said. This is why the lunar base was developed on the premise of a continually growing unit. The project is presently be- ing scaled to a lifesize model that will be displayed this summer at the Museum of Natural History, along with other projects that the CEA has been working on, Ximenes said. The uniqueness about the project is that it is a real scenario, in that it is an ongoing project for CEA because of its growing capabilities, Ximenes said. — Athena Patelis 225 Vk Unwood Johnson and one of his neighbors at the Allen Parkway Village stand in the doorway of his apartment, where he keeps records to help the residents of the complex.

Photo by Din Alder. Photo by Mirk Ltcy. Johnson Fights To Save Allen Parkway Village Downtown Houston stands out in a shining splendor against the otherwise dull landscape. A testament to the wealth of Texas. In the shadows of those buildings, just the other side of Interstate 45, lies Houston's fourth ward. Many of its buildings are without windows, paint, or people. Others house some of Houston's poorest citizens. Among the peeling, woodframed houses is Allen Parkway Village, the city's largest public housing project. Like all the buildings in fourth ward, those at the housing project arc severely neglected. Many of the old brick apartments are boarded up, and all are in need of some sort of repair. For many Houstonians, this neighborhood is an eyesore. Others pass by it daily without even knowing what lies at the foot of the large concrete pillars which hold up the freeway. But to some, Allen Parkway Village is home. The people that call Allen Parkway home are scared of losing their housing, and their community, and they have good reason to be. The city has been trying to tear it down for years. In the middle of this complex of some 1,000 units is the apartment of Lcnwood Johnson. His small living room is crowded with stacks of paper. The coffee table has been transformed into a library of information dealing with this embattled housing project. Johnson sits on a beaten, blanket-covered couch behind stacks of articles and land reports. As is usually the case, his ear is to the telephone. An animated speaker, Johnson cannot help but punctuate his conversation with gestures and facial expressions that are never seen by the person on the other end of the line. His verbal points are often accentuated by widening eyes and a broad smile. His dark fuzzy hair has receded a little, giving his eyebrows ample space to bob up and down on his forehead. After passing some information along, he politely terminates the conversation so he can get back to the matter at hand. He is explaining, to a neighbor, the significance of a letter she has received from the housing authority. The woman listens intently as Johnson explains the red tape involved with dealing with their common landlord. You mean you haven't sent your rent in? Johnson asked, surprised. I talked to the lady on the phone and she told I wasn't supposed to send in my rent 'til after the hearing,” she answered defensively. Girl, you can't listen to what they tell you. When you want to get into heaven, do you go to the devil and ask him how to get in? Johnson punctuates Continued on p. 228 226 7 never dreamed I would be in Allen Parkway Village . . . 227 Continued from p. 226 this advice with a big smile and a short laugh, but both of them know he is very serious. As the president of Allen Parkway Village Residents Association, Johnson gets a lot of satisfaction from helping his neighbors. He secs himself as an organizer educator, helping a group of people with limited skills and resources deal with the very complicated system on which they depend. After watching Johnson for a while, it becomes apparent that he is a little out of place in this neighborhood. If this guy is so smart, what's he doing in public housing? I never dreamed I would be in Allen Parkway Village,” he said. I had driven by here many times, and on a couple of occasions met some of the people who lived over here, but I never dreamed I'd be living here.,” Johnson lived in Brenham, Texas, until he was old enough to study physics at Prairie View A M. He went to Prairie View because at that time blacks weren't allowed to attend the local college in Brenham. He finished three years before leaving for financial reasons. In Houston, he found work as the yardman at a country club, and then at a soda fountain for Montgomery Wards. These positions did not require three years of college education, but at the time there were not too many alternatives for blacks. In 1967 Exxon began hiring black technicians, and Johnson became the first black laboratory technician at its Baytown plant. From there he moved to Upjohn, where he worked for almost ten years before developing a debilitiating illness. I got sick and couldn't work anymore, he said. Without money and without a job, it was a real problem. So I had to end up applying for public housing. Johnson remembers the reac -tion of his son Len, who wa; then seven and is now 14. H ■ asked me, 'Dad do we have t live in this place?' When I tol 1 him we didn't have no choicr he busted out in tears.” Johnson was not in Alle i Parkway Village long before h-began struggling with housin authorities. I refused to accept the sys tern as it was because I knev that it wasn't supposed to wor that way, he said. So I started fighting with them immediatel' after I got here.” What began as comment! and letters to the housing au thority about problems com mon to Allen Parkway's tenant has grown into a full-fledge effort to save the housing pro ject and the surrounding com munity from developers' bull dozers. Now Johnson spends a much time as his health wil permit making contacts, in forming residents, relaying in formation, attending meetings, and briefing attorneys. When you ask him why he spends so much time and energy working for this community, his first answer is that it affects his ability to get housing. But with a little prodding, he will admit that his motives are not quite that selfish or short sighted. What is happening here shows what can happen to people who lack political enpower-ment,” said Johnson. They get pushed around, misused, and abused. These housings are very valuable to poor people. I know there are people out there who need these units, and whether I stay here or not, I would like for them to be here for someone else. Johnson thinks his efforts have been successful. The city Because of its locaton to downtown Houston, the Allen Parkway Village is on high-dollar real estate property. In its decision to sell the land to corporations, many people believe the Houston Housing Authority increased the number of tenants who are Oriental, because as a lower income people in Houston they arc more recent and less politically organized than lower income black and white people. Thus the majority of the tenants were less likely to organize a legal defense against a clsoing.

Because of the things that 1 could organize, and things I got other people to do for us, we re still here. And so, city planners and private developers look out the windows of their office towers, in their expensive suites, out and down at their neighbors across the freeway. They make plans for the neighborhood to be leveled so that more shiny towers can be constructed. And in a rundown apartment, mindful of the eyes on his back, Len-wood Johnson shapes the needs of the poor and unempowered into a force to be reckoned with. — Daniel Alder 229 —iBBSBSH!!?!« S — tj n n “ H ii ii n n 3 n n n n 1 111 ■ ni in n „ n ii ■ u ii n n ii ii n 3 m it n a s n ;« n n n a m ... il II II H II II n ” n,rn in n ; m ir™ nun «. %i MWCll t II l« H I.

In autumn of 1947, the actor Pat O'Brien and wildcat oilman Glenn McCarthy turned the first shovel of dirt and The Shamrock Hotel was born at the intersection of Main and Holcombe Boulevard. In late March 1949, perhaps the wildest party ever held in the Western Hemisphere celebrated the opening of The Rock, then the showcase of cafe society and a luxury hotel unparalleled anywhere in the world for outrageous fun, topflight entertainment and the favorite boozery of stars and the new-rich. The Shamrock sported 28 shades of green in its mammoth lobby, called International Modern by friends (and gaudy by jealous critics). Frank Lloyd Wright, upon viewing the monolithic brick edifice, leaned on his cane and said, Why? Houston’s big rich, hangers-on, whores and playboys said, They the hell not?!” It was a glorious time, when The Cork Club served mixed drinks in a brown-bottle town, when The Emerald Room showcased Sinatra and Damone, Doris Day and Bob Hope, and a host of other stars while the well-heeled and the fortune-hunters drank French champagne out of cowboy boots and shot an o:. casional pistol bullet into tie chandeliered ceiling.

Many of the community's business owners are afraid, as not only the more seedy businesses are burning, but the respected as well. The once highly recommended Happy Buddha Steak House burned three times before being shovelled away. By now most of the adult entertainment venues, primarily oriental modeling studios, have burned and faced the bulldozer. Only blocks to the west tells a different story. All of the locations on Westheimer's trendy Curve are inhabited by thriving businesses. Considered one of Houston's most unique shopping districts, the stores are brightly lit with neon. From vintage clothing to modern novelties, the businesses plan to stay and the community doesn't want to see them go. The Montrose community consists of a largely gay popu -lation with a huge influx of new urbanites,” people who are moving back into the city for a change of surroundings. To the long term dweller in the area, it is obvious that developers take interst in the trend toward urbanization. The new inhabitants bring yuppie sized salaries with them. Newly constructed condominiums dot the neighborhood. Traditional businesses continue to thrive however and long time residents don't blame the “yuppies” for the immediate problems. One resident cites high school kids with nothing to do” for the noise and petty vandalism. She believes they drive in from the suburbs to cruise Westheimer because they aren’t wanted hanging out in their own neighborhoods. Many residents share her belief about this long standing tradition. Many of them also believe that the mysterious fires are caused by disputing factions in the adult entertainment industry. One resident said, they burn each others businesses leaving vacant lots for developers to build condos on.” Another put it mildly, there goes the neighborhood. If the trend keeps up, the old neighborhood will look like new — but it won't be the old neighborhood. 231 — Mark Lacy Construction was completed on the new Oblisks at the intersection of 1-45 and Cullen Boulevard in the fall. The $800,000 project raised many questions, especially during economic hard times. Only months later, construction on 1-45 eliminated the Cullen exit. Commuters now reach the University via Calhoun Boulevard. As they pass by on the massive elevated freeway, the oblisks seem belittled. What the future holds in store. The new Alvin Freeway is supposed to extend out of the $26 million 1-45 project sometime in '88. It should run somewhat parallel to the railroad tracks on the east side of the campus and head in a more southwardly direction than 1-45. It will eventually meet State Highway 35 in Alvin. According to plans. Entrance 1 will extend east to the new freeway and so will Wheeler, making that the new front to the University. So what then for the new Oblisks? The DMZ continues to expand. The University is surrounded by buffers that somewhat resemble a demilitarized zone. This keeps the University isolated from the ailing communities surrounding it. On the north side, wide open fields separate the campus from Elgin to 1-45. The university acquired and leveled virtually everything, leaving only the strip of fast food restaurants which the University holds leases on. To the east is the railroad tracks and more wide open fields between the planned Alvin Freeway and Calhoun. Khean Taing practices on the UH fields that border the Third Ward. Photo by Mirk Licy. r V - There is talk of a new frontal look to the University and a mall to house the food services, along with ocher businesses. Along Wheeler is the small residential neighborhood where many UH professors and students live. And just beyond that is Braes Bayou. A portion of the thick wooded area at Wheeler and Cullen is slated to become apartment style housing for on-campus residents. And to the west is the athletic complex, where playing fields, parking lots and tall hedge covered fence separate the University from the ■ neighboring Third Ward. Changes simply cosmetic? While the University's goals to achieve the status of a major research institution arc quite dear, some may wonder about the external, more cosmetic changes taking place. It seems logical that a major University should have a clean, well-kept and grand appearance, but it is also true that students like to have a surrounding community of restaurants, shops and clubs. Many wonder if the UH master-plan considers more than academics — interaction with the community like UT, Rice and Georgetown all have — in attracting quality students. The Frat Club's days are numbered. It will be only a memory like Sandy's and the Red Dog Saloon, when progress toward the futruc look of UH rolls over it. Photo by Mark Lacy. The condition of the economy and the slight drop in enrollment was not enough to support a third convenience store on Calhoun. The two remaining are a close distance from the Residence Halls. 233 For an international student, Christmas in the Residence Halls can be a lonely time. But for many, it is much too expensive to travel home for the three week break. Well, this year was another story. Residents received notice that they would not be allowed to live in either the Towers or the Quad. There was normally a charge of $100.00 to remain over the holidays. Instead they were given the option of Cougar Place or various hotels near the campus at about $300.00 or more. iearonk Qredinqs International Students Concerned About Use Of lee! Concerned that other departments may be bene fit ting from their money, international students challenged the administration. and questioned the rise in payment and use of their student service and orientation fees. International student service fees have gone up from $30 to $-10 and none of the students were notified. says Kamran Riaz. Council of Ethnic Organi- zations Assistant Director. When I received my fee statement. I noticed the increase and asked why none of us were told and why we had to pay $-10. I was told that I could either pay the money or lose my registration. International students may also find themselves paying $-10 instead of $30 for International Orientation fees in the future. A formal request was made by I)r. Jack Burke, of the Office of International Student Services, and is pending approval. In the request, the justification for change said ... the fee increase is to maintain a quality program. To cut any more corners would only reduce the quality of the program. For years the pay for student orientation advisers has been an honorarium of $30. This needs to be increased in order to offer a greater incentive to these tu-dent workers for the four da program. Current use of the fee jp-ports a four-day orient, ion program for new internal! tu. students arriving for Fall ind Spring semesters. The fe is used for meals, room char :es. transportation, student assis ant wages, publicity, and other i is-cellaneous expenses.” The proposed use of a. di- International Students at UH. from 89 countries, make up 6.4 of the student body. In a traditional Indian Show, this year's 'Basant Bahar. sponsored by the ISA in Cullen Auditorium, attracted well over 1.000 people. 234 ional revenues from the in-rease would cover the costs f an overnight stay for the stu -Jents, increase the honorarium r wages paid student workers, � nd to off-set the increasing costs of meals, receiption, ransportation fees, printing, etc. If approved, total revenues for orientation for the coming year will amount to $14,880 (the amount for the current year, 1986-87, is estimated at $13,900). What bothers Riaz and other nternationals more than the in-:reases, is the lack of proper notification, student imput, and he possibility of internationals not benefitting from the money hey pay. My basic concern deals not nly with the increases, but also whether or not internationals will be the only people who benefit from the money. As I understand it now, money generated from our service fees could be shifted around within a ledger and go to athletics if the Board of Regents approved it. I would like to see the money we generate become restricted to servicing only internationals. Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. Paul Moore explained that the orientation fee has always been set in a ledger 2 account, which is discretionary, and none of the money has ever been used for any other purpose. In a guideline format, the Dean of Students office stated that ledger 2 is used for designated funds — funds that are not restricted by external sources, but are designated by the Board for operating purposes. A primary source of designated funds at the University of Houston is the University's Available Fund. The Budget Office states that ledger 2 is labeled as current unrestricted funds. The source of funds include Miscellaneous, such as: membership dues, tuition and fees for short courses, seminars and the like, xeroxing and other reimbursements, gifts with no restrictions as to college or department, payments from students for class materials, consulting fees, etc. The use of funds is unrestricted, except by internal University guidelines. Referring to international student service fees, which are accounted for under ledger 3. Burke explained In practice, no one has ever tried to use such fees for anything other than what they were for, but in theory, ledger 3 money can be moved around to other departments. Under University guidelines, ledger 3 is for auxiliary funds — funds generated by any auxiliary enterprise, an entity which exists to furnish goods or services to students, faculty, or staff, and which charges a fee related to the cost of the goods or services. Auxiliary enterprises usually include residence halls, food services, intercollegiate athletics, and college stores.” In an effort to restrict the money to internationals only, Riaz plans to co-sponsor a resolution along with a new member of the senate. What we would like to do is warn administrators that students are aware of the possibility that our money could end up benefitting others if the University falls on bad times and sees it fit to move money around. The resolution would make us feel that there is a guarantee underway to ensure that the services internationals pay for will continue to operate smoothly on money generated by us. If other students join in, we could get the University to explain to all students exactly what they are paying for and where the money is going. International fees are just the tip of the iceberg, said Riaz. — Carmella Roberts The ISO Food Fair is the most widely publicized international event on campus.

Two of these officials have a combined 40 years experience living and working in the campus dormitories. They said they have seen the security change for the better as the dorms have evolved from single sex to coed. Associate Director of Housing Tom Penett came to UH in 1954 as a freshman. He joined the administration in 1957. Thirty years later, he still considers UH home. He met his wife, Martha, as an undergraduate. Today she is associate director of the UH business office. They raised a son on campus and still live in an apartment in the Quad. Bobby Brownstein, assistant director of Residential Life and Housing, estimates that he has been at UH about 10 years, both as an undergraduate and as an employee of the residence halls. Brownstein lived in both the Quad and the Towers and moved off campus just last year. Dorm security has changed with social and parental standards in the years since Penett and Brownstein came to UH, Penett said. You have to recognize that dorm regulations follow parental pressure, he said. It's not so much what we want, as what the parents and guardians consider acceptable. Sweet Sixteen. Tom Penett, who met his wife. Martha, on the steps of Oberholtzer Hall, cuts the Towers sixteenth birthday cake in Moody Cafe. Photo by Merry Jones. Security was what was expected.” Today, UH residence halls can accommodate 2,100 students. Currently, dorms are 95 percent full, said Holly Ster-neckert. Director of Residential Life and Housing. Penett said that before Moody Towers opened in 1970, UH's 700 to 800 residental students lived in the Quad: men in Oberholtzer, Taub and Sette-gast, women in Bates and Law. Students and strangers in the men's dorms came and went as they pleased, he said, because the outside doors were kept unlocked. The doors were basically wide open, he said. But women dormies had curfews, locked doors and special visitation hours for males, he said. Women residents had to pass through a reception room to get in and out of the building. Until the '60s, they also were regulated by housemothers, typically a little old lady with tennis shoes who ran the building and kept up with everybody, Penett said. Housemothers were phased out in the late '60s, he said, roughly the same time the Quad began to go coed. Students who planned to be gone for extended periods of time had to sign out before leaving, he said. There were few security-problems then. Someone would throw a brick through a window (for example).” Penett said visitation was more restricted then than it is now. We didn't have a lot of outsiders, and those we had, had to be out by a certain time. They had to sign in and sign out, and they sure as hell better have done it by curfew time, Penett said. When the Towers op -jed, only the North Tower, th fe. male dorm, adopted Bates and Law's sign-in and visitor oli-cies, he said. The South Tower ad cd the relaxed security of the her men's dorms. A group of unarmed oot patrol officers slowly eve ved into the UHPD's profess nil peace officers, he said. Tbt transition came about as a r suit of the wild '60s,” he said, and similar transitions occurre. on campus nationwide. At one point the police pa-troled in jeeps and on n xor scooters, but were event ally replaced by the patrol cars hey use today, he said. But while the jeeps and scooters were able to pene rate the campus, the cars are ■ on-fined to its perimeters, w ich may render them less effet ivc, he said. 236 Brownstein Wears Many Disguises Bobby Brownstein, above left, as he appeared in the 1970 Houstonian Yearbook, then as a senior, listed in Who’s Who In American Colleges and Universities. He was involved in Program Council, Varsity Tennis, Student Senate and was the Election Commission chairman. Above right, as he appeared in the 1974 Houstonian, obviously politically motivated. Can you recognize him today? Yes, that's Bobby on the left, the Assistant Director of Residential Life, with Dorothy Barrera, Administrative Secretary, Tom Penctt, Associate Director of Housing, Holly Stcrncckcrt, Director of Housing, and Len Bovee, Service Center Manager. Photo by Michtel Wtllisms. W celer Street to commit cr nes. In one respect we've pr gressed, but in one we've re g ssed, Penctt said of the pair 1 cars. We have a workable securi-t) system. If we have coopera-ti n from the residents, it w rks.” Penett said he attributes an increase in the number of crimes through the years to an increase in UH's enrollment and Houston's population. Brownstein said dorms were not as safe when he entered the university as they arc now. Ten years ago, we weren't as security conscious. Anybody could get in both the Towers and the Quad, he said. Security was not as necessary because the area surrounding the dorms caused less problems; the crime rate was not as high as it is now. he said. The biggest security problem then, Brownstein said, was residents not locking their doors or securing their property. Theft occurred both from inside and outside the dorms. Brownstein said that by the time he entered the university, the Quad was starting to become coed. The Quad was completely coed by the mid-1970s, he said, and the Towers became coed by floors in 1979. Contrary to parental belief, this arrangement made the dorms seem safer rather than more threatening, Brownstein said. There was initial concern that it would be more of a problem. We ended up having less of a problem, he said. The women felt more secure having men there. It turned out to be a much healthier atmosphere.” Single-sex dorms can be rowdy, but coed dorms seem to put both groups on their best behavior,” he added. Residence halls began increasing security during the '70s, Brownstein said, when more outside problems began to appear. We even cut down some large shrubbery that used to be around the dorms, he said. With the construction of Cougar Place in 1982, residents and officials were more concerned with security aspects such as an outside fence, Brownstein said. Penctt said Cougar Place has not had any major problems. Bicycle thefts are the primary complaint, he said, and there has never been a break-in into a room in the complex. Now, Brownstein said, dorms have improved features, such as safety programs. Cougar Patrol, better lighting and call boxes for summoning police. He said he knows students who have moved back into the dorms after a period off campus because they like the security better in the dorms. Today, I really think we re in much better shape than we've been in a long time, Brownstein said. Penett agreed. I think we're doing a great job. • Kristin Jacobsen and Ruthie Piller 23 If you expect this to be a story in the spirit of a typical primetime movie about a courageous disabled person who overcomes all obstacles to become the world's greatest athlete, well, this may disappoint you. There are, however, two aspects of the above scenario that do parallel my life. First of all, the disabled character in the movie usually has the support of his friends to help him deal with his disability and to urge him on to victory in his endeavors; secondly, the feeling that he gets from his favorite pastime helps him to excel to the top. Using the analogy of the prime-time movie as a parallel to my life would be, for the most part, inaccurate. I'm not courageous. Courage denotes a willingness to choose a situation; and I did not choose to be disabled, I simply accepted it. The element that makes my acceptance easy and even worthwile is the acceptance of others. Since coming to the University of Houston, I have discovered a very real atmosphere of acceptance. One of the highest compliments that can be attributed to me is when one of my friends feels free to experience” my wheelchair when I'm not using it — I'm sure some of them wouldn't mind dumping me out of it so that they could get their paws' on it — but the fact that they don't consider my chair to be a taboo that might curse them with a future disability shows one aspect of their acceptance. I don't consider the use of my wheelchair by my friends to be disrespectful of my disability in the least; the best way to respect a person's imperfection is to ignore the imperfection. just as the people I've met have increased my feelings of seif-worth, so has my participation in sports. Wheelchair Basketball is probably one of the least known sports on the campus; but it is not, by any means, any less competitive or any less exciting than the other sports played at U of H. The same holds with the other sports in which I compete (wheelchair soccer, track and field, and wheelchair slalom). When I compete in any of these sports, it is not my disability that's being challenged, but it is my ability being showcased; and with each basket I shoot, each discus I throw, or each race I run, I feel the same feeling that every athlete that has ever played a sport on this campus has felt, whether that athlete be Akeem Olijawon or a P.E. student shooting baskets in Melcher gym — I feel anxious before, tired after, and great in between. In addition to his classwork at UH and his responsibilities as a Security Staff member in the Residence Halls, Eric Owens is a world class athlete. As a wheelchair athlete, he has a long history of winning gold medals in world competition. He has set numerous national and world records. His world record in the slalom, set in Long Island, N.Y. is still standing. He holds national records in the shot put, discus and 100 meters with a time of 20.19 seconds. Owens does not compete in Special Olympics as his disability is not mental. He competes among athletes with cerebral palsy. He is sure to be the competition at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea. But between now and then he will work on a RTV degree, and practice to be the best. 239 Photos by Mtrk Ltcy.

Rumors that it would take an extra twenty minutes to get to class spread throughout the halls. The sight of the new HRM building lies directly between the Towers, and the rest of the campus.

Luc Graux, Phillipe Vanderlimiere. Ray Domingue, area coordinator for Cougar Place, claims that this year has been the most exciting year for Cougar Place since the complex opened in 1981. 254 It started early in the fall se-lester. Students competing for vailablc carts, luggage and lothes draped over shoulders nd hands. Trucks, U-hauls and ixies lined up outside the Cou-ar Place Residence Halls, vhile students busily moved elonging$ into their rooms. A ew parents waited patiently as heir children unloaded the iSual dorm paraphenalia — lants, stereos, TVs, posters, ramcd pictures, books — all leaved haphazardly into a va-ant shell of a room that would oon be home. Hugs, kisses nd promises to call were ex-hanged expectantly and the parents drove away, leaving the students to deal with their new housing. Some students were returning veterans, quickly resolving administrative hassles. Many of the students did not have parents accompanying them. Since only seniors and graduate students are permitted to stay in Cougar Place, the average resident is older than most students. Most of them flew the coop a long time ago. Unlike Moody Towers or the Quadrangle — U of H's other dorms — Cougar Place is built like an apartment complex. Actually, they are like small bungalows. There are ten separate buildings, each housing a maximum of 40 students. The buildings are surrounded by green grass and a few trees; picnic tables are spread out along the sidewalks and lawns so students can relax, study or engage in pleasant conversation. Looking at the social scene, one may notice certain cliques have formed on the basis of ethnic, academic or athletic commonality. A group of law students, for example, can usually be found discussing the latest litigation on the benches which face the entrance to the complex. French students gather ritualistically for their nightly sitcom viewing, chattering tirelessly in their native tongue. Tennis players are easily recognized, in their white shorts and striped shirts, as they swing their cased rackets. On weekends, free movies arc shown on the VCR until the last bleary-eyed insomniac surrenders to sleep. Beer and music parties are thrown intermittently throughout the semester, and students gather to get to know each other while relieving their brains from intensive studying. Most of the students are quite content with the living conditions. Except for the occasional cockroach, or perhaps a visit from a squadron of uninvited ants, the place seems like a nice arrangement for students. Martin Karrenbach of West Germany, who's studying Geophysics for a Masters degree, said that the dorms turned out to be a lot nicer than he had expected. This is my first time in a graduate dormitory and it's very nice, he said. “It's like living in a private apartment and there arc always people around if you want to talk.” Karrenbach also said he found people friendly and willing to help. One thing he appreciates is the ethnic and academic diversity. There arc people from all over the world studying a whole-range of things. Cliques aside, one would hardly have to travel anywhere else if they wanted exposure to different cultural groups. People from almost every race and country, from Armenia to Zimbabwe, are represented in these dorms. Ray Domingue, the area coordinator for Cougar Place, claimed there hasn't been this much excitement since Fall 1981, the semester the complex opened. There's so much enthusiasm and excellent cooperation this year. We've been able to maintain a lot of activities, and students are becoming really involved. We've installed 20 new kitchenettes and there's a lot of participation during the weekend movie videos. Gwen Jones, a handicapped student, said that Cougar Place accommodates her special needs. I can go right out my door and onto the sidewalk — you walk right into nature when you step out! Nevertheless, she wishes the walls were thicker. I can't play my stereo as loud as I'd like because the walls are so thin. Korean Pharmacy student, Kay Kim, finds living in Cougar Place very convenient. Everything is close to campus. I can get up five minutes before class and make it on time.” Her only complaint is having to cross Cullen Boulevard. I wish they had a pedestrian bridge over the street — the traffic is so busy I'm afraid of getting run over when I cross the road.” Since students live by themselves, she has no trouble keeping to herself if she chooses. I don't have much time for interaction with students since I am so busy with my studies, Kim asserted. All in all, everybody seems to have adjusted well to living in Cougar Place. Whatever the lifestyle, Cougar Place can accommodate everyone. — Gina Son 255 STAFF Administration- (front) Bobby Brownstein -Asst.

But it has, in recent years, become considerably more fasionable. This year s Bob Marley Festival, held downtown at the Library Plaza, drew a crowd of several hundred and brought some non-reggae bands that wanted to honor Bob Marley for his influence on them. Many bands today incorporate some form of reggae into their music. Photo by D n Alder. Pharos opposite by Mirk lacy. Aerobics is the thing to do in the eighties. Therefore the active look is in. To prove this. Alpha Chi Omega sorority held a runway fashion show sponsored by Kaepa Shoewear. A Chi O members paraded in various stylish leotards, coordinated with Kaepa shoes, before a cheering crowd of mostly males. The padded hightop is popular with almost any outfit and most of the shoes have velcro straps for the woman on the go.

The main thing that is considered in choosing a model for the calendar is basically how photogrenic the person is. Applicants are judged by former calendar models and Campus Awareness Association members. hast year’s models feel that the calendar brought about a very positive attitude towards UH. Hottest has also bene fitted the models personally. LeAnn Bergeon said, This helped me launch a career in modeling and I did some for Good Morning Houston.” Karen Foster said. People notice you. As for the guys who made it to finals this year, they too feel that the calendar is very good publicity for the University. Mike McGregor said. I hope I make it because it [the audition] has been a lot of fun. Carlo Minnotti said. I hope my braces do not make any difference. but then I never grinned.” Hottest is trying very hard to give UH a new image. But only time will tell. — Munecra Hussain Many male dorm rooms sport the latest posters, and now the Houston's Hottest calendar (soon to be available for women). The models are expected to help promote the calendar at events such as the Homecoming Parade. Photos by Paul Nicosia. tend to print 10,000. This calendar is not the first to be produced by a university, so why is it being given so much attention? The answer is simple.” Ontra said. We have a sense of professionalism. Our quality is great. It is more like a commercial product than a student effort, and we are competing with big companies like Hallmark. Hottest is not only sold at the University but at major bookstores like Walden and other gift shops around Houston for $8.95. We plan to increase our market next year and we have a national distributor, the Ingram Book Company, to market the 1988 calendar nationwide, like the University of Southern California does,” Ontra said, noting the USC hires professionals to do their famous swimsuit calendar. The criteria for all the calendar models is that they must be UH students and should be able Did you like the 1986-87 Houston's Hottest, the calendar designed to promote student life at the University of Houston? Yes, well then you'll love the 1988 edition. It is expected to be, well, even hotter. There will be two separate calendars for 1988. One will feature women, the other men, posing at various locations around the campus to show off its beauty. A person will be able to buy both the female and male calendar and each month the photos will go together. For example: A girl pictured on one side of the new obelisks on Cullen Boulevard and a guy on the other side. When the pictures hang together on the wall, they will look like one. The idea to do a calendar came to me over Thanksgiving dinner 1985. James Ontra president of Campus Awareness Association and producer of the calendar said. My purpose is to promote the University. It is sad that so many people graduating from high school in Houston, do not even consider coming to UH. We want to be able to change that.” Houston's Hottest has proved to be very successful and has received a lot of media attention. We have been on Donahue, David Brenner, Channel 11, Channel 13 Eyewitness News, the Houston Chronicle, and Houston City Magazine,” Ontra said. Last year they printed 6,000 and sold 2,900. They gave 1,500 to patients at the Veterans Administration Hospital as part of their promotion. This year they in- Sex Over The Phone Sells Big In 1987 Confessions Of A Phone-Sex Mistress I was a teenage phone-sex girl. Actually I'm twenty-one, but the teenage part adds a certain dramatic flair for the customer. Anyway, I really did perform phone-sex for money. That's right. I'm the girl behind all those sexy advertisements you find in the back of porno-mags and on the business cards stuck under your car's windshield wiper. I'm sure most of you reading this are wondering how 1 could ever have accepted a job like this, but believe me, it's not as bad as you think. In fact, with time a person could become quite complacent at it. and that's why I quit. I had been looking for a job for about a week and had not found anything suitable. I scoured the Post and the Chronicle classified for any job that held the least bit of interest for me. and more importantly, fit into my lifestyle. I prefer a job in which I can dress and keep my appearance as I please. My taste in hair and clothing is far from conventional, so it is important that I hold a job where cither my looks don't matter or the customers can't see me. Unfortunately, the majority of jobs like that are phone soliciting. On the second week. 1 saw an ad in the newspaper that read: PHONE FUN ! ! ! You can make $-1 and more per hour just by talking on the telephone CALL ! ! !-X XXX TODAY NO SELLING ! So 1 called immediately. A young woman answered the phone. Anonymous Incorporated. I asked her what exactly did this job entail? She told me that it was an adult conversation line and could I please come down and interview today because they needed people by tomorrow? A friend gave me a ride to their location. On the way. we discussed what the job might be. 1 felt certain that it was phone-sex. The address turned out to be a run-down office building in the suburbs. There were cigarette burns in the carpet and the place smelled awful. I walked around knocking on doors, interrupting bizarre office rituals until I found the correct door. Behind it was a 250 pound black woman named Kitty. She asked me to sit down and fill out an application. The main feature was a bold request for a birth certificate. Then Kitty asked me if I knew what the job was. I told her. hesitantly, that I thought it was phone-sex. She said (surprise) that I was right and would I be able to handle such a job? Well, I was raised in a very liberal manner and I had certainly read my share of Hustlers, so I responded yes?!' She then asked me if I could handle guys telling me (in more crude terms) that they wanted to sodomize me. I assumed that this was the aptitude test of phone-sex job interviews — the surprise of some perfectly unacceptable words into a normal conversation. Kitty wanted to know if I could come back tomorrow. When I got there the next morning, Kitty explained the rules: 1. Speak to no one under eighteen. I was expected to know if a caller was under eighteen. 2. Simulate every sexual act except child pom and incest. For obvious reasons. 3. The customer must bring up the subject of sex. This was to protect Anonymous Inc. from being prosecuted for 262 obscenity on the telephone, i. Never, ever tell the customer your real name. This was just plain common sense, but it turned out to be harder than one would think. After this Kitty had me pick the three names I wanted. She said that each name should have a separate personality and that each person should be very different. I tried to pick three names that covered the spectrum of a woman's existence (ha!), so I chose Hclga, an older dominatrix type, Babs a young and innocent coed (those are pretty hard to find), and Sue, just a regular woman. Of course, all of them had to have different but exceptionally beautiful, physical characteristics, so I made Helga tall, thin, and black-haired, Babs blonde, (of course petite) and Marilyn-ish, and Sue a green-eyed redhead. Always tell the customer that you are at home. Never tell him or her that you are really in a cheesy office with several other fully dressed women faking orgasms. This was probably the hardest rule to follow. Kitty explained that it was to make the customer feel comfortable (that there weren't fifteen other people around to laugh about him pulling his pud) and to make his fantasy complete. 6. And lastly, if a customer calls back unsatisfied, watch our. There is no reason that you shouldn't be able to get these guys to shoot” as Kitty so succinctly put it. At this time, Kitty had me sign a piece of paper that went something like this: I, ______. an employee of Anon, Inc., promise not to reveal any of the corporate secrets or details of my employment here for at least six months after the termination of my employment. So here I am, six months later, telling you the whole sordid story. Supposedly, I was now ready to be a phone whore. Actually, it turned out to be easier than I expected. Of course, the first call I received was a living hell. It was obvious that I was nervous, and the guy seemed to be a little put out with me for not making some raunchy talk. So I broke commandment number three of the phone-sex business and suddenly blurted out, Let's talk about you screwing me. okay? Well, that suited him just fine. And from then on. it was really not difficult. I learned the ins and outs of the phone-sex business, and believe me, it's really quite complicated. For instance, how does one manage to work sex into a conversation with a man who is a little embarrassed about calling a phone bordello in the first place (as 60% of them are)? It's easy. The normal phone-sex conversation often sounds like this: JOHN: Uh ... Hello? SEX-BOMB: Hi. my name is Melissa, what's yours? JOHN: Uh .. . Peter. S-B: What are you doing tonight. Peter? J: Nothing. S-B: How interesting. What do you do for a living, etc., etc., It could go on forever like that. The guy has only got ten minutes, and you waste five of them waiting for the john to raise enough courage to bring up sex. Those are five minutes that you could be taking another call and making more money, so it's important to get these guys on the road. Surefire solution — ask the young fellow what he is wearing. Nine times out of ten, the answer is nothing. And then all the enterprising phone whore needs to do is coo back, Nothing? What a coincidence ... and the conversation is pretty well taken care of. You can really tell a lot about what a guy wants from you by the way he describes himself. If a man tells you that he is 6 feet tall, 200 pounds and had a nine-inch penis (we lie about our appearance, they lie about theirs), he probably wants straight sex. However, if a man says he has a four-inch penis. he always wants to be dominated. And if someone tells you he has a fifteen-inch penis, invariably he demands anal sex. The key to making guys happy (which makes money) is to SOUND SINCERE. I must have faked 500 orgasms in three weeks and my johns loved every moan. You've got to understand, about half of the men who called me were just regular guys who weren't getting what they wanted at home or were just lonely or horny. I'm at a loss to explain why (continued on page 264) A lot of feminists ask me if I felt degraded doing such a job, but I never really did. The first couple of days I felt a little strange about what I was doing - basically used, but it wasn’t hard to find the humor in the situation. ” 263 (continued from page 263) so I asked him to describe himself. The expected four inches was the reply. I told him I knew a way to help him with his problem and began instructing him to do a series of erotic exercises. We could hear him yelping in pain and could not help but laugh. When he asked what the noise was. 1 told him I had all my dominatrix friends over and that we were all laugh- I now have celebrity status at parties as a conversation piece. ” these guys pay twenty bucks to talk to a woman for ten minutes when they could buy a bottle of M D 20-20, get some hapless co-ed drunk and talk to her all night. Most of the men (and women) I spoke to seemed like your average American. Admit-tedly, about 3 out of 10 were complete degenerates. About one out of ten just wanted to talk. I once got a call from two kids who said that the woman they used to speak to was their psychiastrist” and would I please take her place now? One fellow called me regularly just to BS about his job. I became quite fond of some of my regular customers. I received several calls from a high school student in Garland, Texas. At the end of our sessions, he would always tell me, Babs, you're an animal!” He was an animal too — once he had three orgasms in the course of twenty minutes. And what was really great about him was that he sent his high school friends to me as well. That brings up one of the quirks involved with phone-sex — listening to thirty guys a day experiencing orgasms. It was always great fun to hold the phone in the middle of the room and have the rest of the girls listen to a particularly vocal climax. Some men were quite gentlemanly after their peak, asking such things as. Did you enjoy yourself also.-'” with real concern in their voices, while others would hang up without saying anything. Jerks. I knew that some men I spoke to were family men because sometimes, in the middle of a sentence, the conversation would suddenly turn to a fictional sales report, which put a real damper on the poor fellows erection. And, of course, we got wier-dos. The most common deviate I talked to was the submissive type. 1 don't know why, but there are a lot of men out there that want to be hurt. The first time I got one of these calls. 1 wasn't exactly sure what to say to him. 1 remember when I asked him what he was into, he said, Humiliation. I told him that from there on out he had to call me Mistress. Naturally, he forgot about this constantly, which conveniently brought about the need for him to be punished. By this time, all the girls were listening in and giving me suggestions on what to do to this unfortunate. I told him to lie on his back and that 1 was going to step on him with my stiletto heels. This didn't seem to excite him too much. ing at him. This just about sent him to the moon. I was always glad when these masochists called because it gave all of us a chance to laugh and get somebody back instead of getting used all the time. One fairly sick person from whom I received several calls was a man, who I, at first, thought was interested in me, but was more interested in my boy-friend. He was constantly-asking me, Do you know any young boys that we could have sex with? Once I replied. Well, 1 know some 19-year olds. He replied, No. 1 mean young boys. Women occasionally called me as well. After they had their orgasm, I always told them about several local lesbian bars. It was so depressing to talk to the lesbians — most of them had a husband and kids, and felt trapped in a situation where their sexuality was stifled. Rarely did 1 receive calls from men who really wanted to do harm to me. One of the most extreme calls 1 ever got was from a man who kept asking me if 1 would do anything. Well, of course I'll do anything over the phone. He asked if 1 would get on my knees, no problem. He then asked if 1 would feel his body; well, ok; y. He then told me that he w u going to use me for a bathroc n stool and began having an c -gasm. What was I supposed o do, say forget it and hang u ? Despite what you may thii k I did not consider these exan -pies really that bad. They we e depraved, but they were n t what I would consider mental , disturbed. They had fetishi , but I spoke to a few men who I would not want to meet und r any circumstances. I remember one night I rr • ceived a call from a man nami I Jack who said that he was l Prairie View on a ranch. I aske 1 him to describe himself to it • and he described a shrimp - ■ short, pink, ugly and 40 yea . old, but he emphatically tol! me that he was a cowboy. ( asked him what prompted hit to call me tonight, and he sai that his parents had gone to vis it his grandparents. Hmmn. forty years old and still live with his parents? Okay. He seemed kind of shy, so gently led into the conversatioi After ten minutes, I hung up o: him (as we were supposed t do. telling that the compute was cutting them off). Abou five minutes later, one of th operators called out, Do an of you want to take a call for; 18-year-old black female? W normally rotate the calls, bu something strange must hav been happening. I said I woulc take it. It was Jack again. I triec to change my voice and led him through the scenario once more. Five minutes later, I got another call. This time for a forty-year-old woman. It was Jack again. I disguised my voice once more. He had tried harder, with each phone call to convince one of the women with whom he was speaking to come to Prairie View. And each time I told him no. he got a little angrier. He started calling the other girls, entreating them all to come to Prairie View and service him. I got Jack again, and by this time there was no 264 shyness about him. He said. I'm goin' tew throw yew ahn he floor an' raype yew. He started calling one right after mother, each time asking for ounger and younger girls, wierder and wierder acts. I revived his call again and this ime he asked me where I was. I old him that I was at home vith my parents, hoping to cre- te a common bond. He asked ne oh so slyly what would happen if I walked naked in front of my father. I told him my dad would tell me to get my ass back into my room and put some clothes on. Dissatisfied with my less than titillating answer. he hung up on me. He continued calling all night, growing more and more abusive with each call. All of us were completely tired of dealing with him. but we took pleasure in knowing that, at $20.00 per call, he was going to get his ass kicked when his parents got the phone bill. By far the most mentally screwed up person I met through phone-sex was a middle-aged man named Chuck. At first, he seemed like any other customer, except for a minor fetish about making love underwater. He began calling often and asking me to have orgasms underwater so that he Could hear. Naturally, I couldn't oblige him because of my surroundings, and he called so much that I eventually told him that I was actually in a room with other women. However, he seemed to take particular delight in believing that I was masturbating along with him, so I told him that we had private booths. Eventually, he was calling me up to ten times a day. Many times we did not even talk about sex. but at least once a day. he masturbated. Chuck constantly talked about meeting me. but I told him it was a strict rule that we never meet customers, which was true. S x n it became apparent that he was in love with me. I was careful never to mention anything of the sort to him. though he often asked me if I loved him. To hold him off. I told him that if I ever quit phone-sex. we would meet. He seemed like a nice enough guy. but normal people don't fall in love with a phone whore. He became quite possessive about the things 1 might have said to other customers and was possessive about me in general. It was becoming pretty scarey for me because it was beginning to look as if his whole life was revolving around the day we were to meet. He promised me jobs, gifts, trips, everything, if I would just quit and meet him. Then I got a respectable job. and quit phone-sex. Naturally. I didn't say anything to Chuck despite my many promises that I would. A week later. I went back to pick up my final paycheck. Waiting for me at the office were hundreds of notes to me from Chuck, that girls on other shifts had taken. The women that were still working there told me that Chuck had offered them $$00.00 for my real name. He had also told them that he was going to com -mit suicide if I didn't get in touch with him. I asked Kitty if she thought I should call him. She said yes. When I got home I called Chuck. He sounded maniacally happy and hurt when he heard my voice. He immediately asked me where I lived so that he could come and pick me up. I simply explained to him that I was just doing my job and that I really had no intentions of ever meeting him. He said, bewildercdly. But you love me and I love you. I spent the next half hour repeating to him again and again that I didn't love him, but he kept saying to me. Oh yes you do. you might not think so. but I know you'll come around.” He started crying and I told him that I was going to hang up now and I was fond of him. and he was a nice man. but The advertisement on the left is used solely for illustrative purposes and is not directly related to the company mentioned in the article it (whatever it' was) was over.

Sigma Chi Fraternity boosted its overall GPA to 2.67 in the fall from its 2.01 the previous spring. Phi Mu brought its GPA up to 2.46 in the fall from 2.16 a year ago. Both groups started new scholarship programs and raised their minimum required GPAs for initiation from 2.0 — the national standard — to 2.25. Ronnie Bradshaw. Sigma Chi President, said the chapter gave away $2,000 last fall. The money came from a national scholarship program of local Sigma Chi alumni contributions. The fraternity gave rewards for the most improved grades, the best overall GPA and best semester grades. Members who make above 3.0 receive $150 and those with a 3.5 and above receive $250. Phi Mu developed a similar program, but its reward was pizza. The fall 1986 pledge class challenged the actives to a GPA duel. The group with the lower grade average at the end of the semester would buy dinner for the others. Phi Mu chapter adviser Betsy Angclleli said she's pleased with the results of the new program, even though the chapter did not experience a drastic change in its semester GPA. I think we made a concentrated effort,” Angclilli said. We're on college campuses to promote scholarship, and that's what we're doing.” Bradshaw and Sigma Chi's This delighted greck may have the idea that better grades will get him more attention. scholarship program worked because Ross Fence, their new academic adviser, made it so easy. He’s dedicated,” Bradshaw said. And the chapter likes it. The money hasn’t hurt cither. Fence said the fraternity started its program to ensure pledges meet the 2.25 requirement. The program, however, had more effect on the whole house, he said. I think it's good. only raised the pledge GPA, but also required study hours twice a week in a classroom, not the library. The library, I.cnce said, was too social and actives have a social influence on the pledges as well. And I don’t allow active members to go (to study hall) with the pledges, he said. Fence also meets with the members during the semester to advise them about their courses. He goes over each member’s academic record at UH to make sure they take the right cours for the right major. I try to tell them in time s they don’t waste a whole st mester taking something the don't need,” he said. I.cnce plans to make mem bers aware of such services a note-taking and time manage ment courses offered by th University. Fence said he was surprise the chapter came so far in on semester. I'm shocked, he said. Th actives are all thinking of goo grades and graduation. Ten percent of the 65 mem bers had a 3.5 or higher and 2 percent were 30 or higher Fence said. The progran worked so well that at least « dozen members are no longe on probation after one semes ter, he said. Phi Mu did not require stud; hall for its members, but th« women met Thursday nights ir the library anyway. Angelill said that next semester the pro gram will require a study nigh: for all members. She said the majority of the 25 women made between 2.5 and 3.0 in the fall with three over the 3-0 mark. All but one of the pledges made a 2.5 or higher. That's good.” she said. We stressed 2.25 and they got even higher. It's a significant jump for one semester. The sorority stopped pledging new members at the end of February so members can concentrate on grades,” Angelilli said. So far, most people are happy with the way grades came up- 268 — Michelle Gardner .ist Angers Black Greeks After tempers cooled down nd administrative actions were .-evalutated, members and aders of black Greek organi-ations believe that their pres-ncc on campus as active, orga-lzed groups still makes school officials uneasy. It all started when a letter, vritten by Dean of Students 'onnie Wallace, went out to all JH Greek organizations, star-ng that the following activi-ies may not be performed or equired by students:” •Greetings by pledges •Fledge lines •Running or walking in a line or individually carrying or wearing objects that are potentially harmful (i.e., canes, bricks, plants, dog collars, paddles, etc.) •Loud group or individual greetings to active members •Uniform dress that could be considered demeaning or out of the ordinary •Chanting or stomping by pledges, in a group or as individuals, unless it was a scheduled practice or performance •Rides or walks of pledges or actives. •Any other activity that could be dangerous to a person's health or safety. Assistant Dean of Students and brother of the Kappa Alpha Fsi fraternity, William King, said organizations must realize the danger of hazing. What I am trying to do now is encourage the Greeks to re-evaluate their pledging processes and make an ongoing effort to alert everyone about hazing,” said King. A lot of organizational members claimed off and on-the- record that racism, not hazing, was the underlying factor for placing restrictions on the groups. Direct attacks were directed toward Wallace pinpointing her as the one who had been after black Greeks for so long,” but school officials said that fatal incidents at other universities, including Texas A M and the University of Texas, were partially responsible for the increased attention Greek groups received. After the situation drew more attention, Faul Moore, Vice President for Student Affairs, stepped in and overruled actions taken by Wallace, calling the list of prohibitions a preliminary outline of concerns-not policy. Connie Wallace and William King have been concerned with this issue of Greek activities. They are trying to represent policy when they should not have been, said Moore. Before Moore became aware of the actions of the Dean of Students Office, black Greek leaders lambasted the concerns. We didn’t understand why we didn't have any input in deciding these rules,” I.aWanda Johnson, treasurer of Delta Sigma Theta, said. When we got the list, we were under the impression that it was only a draft, but no — we were told that these arc now the rules, Johnson said. Wallace said the list was compiled from examples of activities observed or heard about, that caused concern with reference to activities of groups. She added that communication between parties involved was incomplete. We weren’t aware there was a problem with our traditional activities on campus, said Walter Hobdy of Kappa Alpha Psi. “The rules Wallace made up were so blatantly against black Greeks. It all seemed so totalitarian — since we were given no chance to have a say in the matter. If rules were to be changed, then every Greek organization should have been examined across the board, said Hobdy. Suspicious that UH is not interested in having black Greeks active on campus, Larry Green of Alpha Phi Alpha asked, If the University does not support us in our activities, how can they expect us to support the University?” The question was well taken by school officals; the restrictions became null and void, and black Greeks continued to perform their activities on campus without interference from administration. — Carmella Roberts 269 ALPHA CHI OMEGA OFFICERS.

But, does nyonc know the real reason hy? Dan Barnes, president of lappa Alpha, says their deci-lon to go dry was to set an xample for other fraternities. Their decision was influenced y national chapters, to estab-ish a respectable organization. Most people, says Barnes, leave if there is alcohol. Crowds are bigger at a wet par-y, but the dry parties attract the •uys who arc really interested in joining. All of the sororities have dry rush, but one Alpha Kappa Alpha member says it's because, our image is important. We don't want to look like drunks. For the girls interested in our sorority, the dry parties don't matter to them. However, AKA has an annual Champagne Sip to alleviate the monotony of dry events, it's a more festive event for us, she says. Drunks or not, Nancy Shul-man, president of Alpha Chi Omega, says there are ways to get around dry parties. For example, a group of sorority sisters can go out as friends. That is, it would not be considered a AChiO social event if they chose not to make it open to the public. If they drink, it is a personal decision and they are not bound by AChiO rules. But even a couple of frat brothers just hanging out can cause a national scandal among their chapter. So, are the wild and crazy days of college parties gone? No more goldfish swallowing, no more traditional toga parties, and no more life long friendships made through Greek family organizations. It's all being replaced by moral values and mature virtues. It's hard to believe that everyone is in full agreement with dry rush. Well, Robert Martinez of Sigma Nu tells a different side of the story. Martinez says they are being forced to go dry next semester. Why? Because of too many law suits. The insurance companies, explains Martinez, arc doubling the rates for chapters and lowering the coverage those rates will have.” It's simply not economically feasible to have wet rush. When a rush or fraternity member is injured somehow, the chapter is blamed, whether or not the fraternity is truly responsible. Martinez gives an example of a chapter being unneccessarily prosecuted. A few UT fraternity brothers were together at a club. One of the friends went outside, drunk, to stand by the car. He apparently passed out and rolled under the car. When his friends decided to leave, they did not realize their friend was under the car. pulling out of the parking lot and dragging him about one thousand yards before discovering him. As a result, the fraternity is being sued, the club is being sued, even the parking lot owner. People automatically lash out at fraternities as being irresponsible. Obviously, this incident had nothing to do with the fraternity, other than it just so happened that some of its members were involved. The media has not helped with the Greeks' reputation. A person The controversy continues to grow. The first viewpoint is offered by Beth Northcutt. a sorority member, and the second by Randy Bayer, a fraternity rush chairman Alcohol, the access young college people have to it, and its place in a fraternity activity, arc likely the hottest topics of the day. In fact, alcohol is now the single greatest threat to the future economic viability of the American college fraternity system. Rush is a serious time. Why meet a person under conditions that might impair our impressions of him, or his impression of us? This way, we see them at their very best and they see us at our best. We re trying to get across that we re a classy group. Rush to us isn't a time to sec people drinking. Would you drink before you went to a big interview or into a big test? Increasing legal liability, the raising of the legal drinking age to 21, and the concern for dollars wasted on alcohol are all reasons why dry rush works to our benefit. We can show that there's more to fraternity life than drinking and partying. We do not have to sell ourselves. Our fraternity was not founded as a drinking club. It was started to bring together groups of men who had common interests and goals, to further their education and to provide a social environment — and that involved a lot more than drinking. The practice of serving alcohol at rush parties tends to encourage drinking, often attracting large, unruly crowds. These panics have done little to encourage any positive social development for members of the fraternity or for those who attend. Finally, alcohol is posing an ever-increasing threat of legal liability. Courts are finding party hosts liable for their negligent actions where alcohol was served. — Randy Bayer says frat party and one automatically thinks of drunk, boisterous students raising hell. Though some parties arc certainly loud and wild, they arc a far cry from Animal House. Martin says he would prefer rush to stay wet, and he admits the fraternity will definately lose membership in the future with dry rush. Martinez stresses that the problem is a serious one, but that his fraternity is creating new ideas to make dry rush as successful as possible. If dry rush does not work, they will go back to wet rush, only with strict rules about the drinking. Kathy Carrol, head of the Greek organizations say, Hopefully national influence _ will bring dry rush. Why? some might ask, doesn't she have faith in her ' organizations? Sure, changes are needed. For instance, eliminating dangerous hazing practices, but nothing that group support and participation can't change or that dry rush can change. — Beth Northcutt 287 288 Times Change For Students Materialism and self-interest are the primary motivators for college students today, Dean of Students Connie Wallace says. Wallace a UH staff member for 21 years, says students appear to be more absorbed in their own particular situations than in previous years when world and national issues were prominent. Also, views on what is acceptable and not acceptable have changed, she said. There is a general notion that cohabitation between the sexes is more accepted now. We. as a society, are more open and our students reflect that.” she said. Students 15 to 20 years ago didn't discuss that sort of thing. Jeanette Morgan, assistant professor of English, says students are more conservative, concerned with conforming to general standards. A 1984 Daily Cougar poll, conducted shortly before Ronald Reagan was re-elected, indicated a majority of students here strongly supported the conservative policies of the president. Since then, national collegiate polls have shown a moderation in political views, with conservative students holding only a slight edge. Morgan added that students seem to regard politics as dirty, so they keep their distance from world affairs. It's harder to spark a conversation on an issue in class; some may think it's socially unacceptable to disagree with their peers, or some may just want to listen. she said. Morgan. a UH faculty member for 24 years, says most students care as much about world issues as their 1960s counterparts, but they're more frustrated about what they can or can’t do to improve things. Vice President of Student Affairs Paul Moore says students are not well-informed about world and national events. They don't show political or social concern, but issues like apartheid may bring about changes. he said. Almost half of the entering freshmen who were surveyed last year said they wanted to earn master's degrees. According to UH reports. slightly more than 50 percent cf the freshmen planned to live it home with parents or a spoust A business degree was th: most common objective amon.; the freshmen. According to the 1985 Uf Freshman Survey, UH student are not markedly different fron their counterparts at other universities. Last year close to 61 percent of UH's entering freshmen wert in the top 20 percent of theii class in high school. The national average was about 57 percent. More UH freshmen used a personal computer while in high school and tutored other students than those in the national sample. Fewer UH coeds, however, lettered in sports, drank beer or participated in speech or debate while in high school. UH freshmen are less likely to change their majors than their national counterparts, but they are more likely to need extra time to earn their degrees, marry while in college, transfer or work while attending UH. — Ruthie Pillcr and Michelle Gardner It’s Happ’ning UT out of South Africa!” shouted one young sorority member waving a Gucci bag in the air, as the campus police arrested her. At the University of Texas in Austin, like many other schools, protesting was in” again. At UT. protesting was only allowed between noon and one o'clock on the west steps of the Administration Building facing the West Mall. During the spring of '86, anti-Apartheid rallies were becoming frequent, but were short. Then one day, students (ranging from artists to fraternity and sorority members) decided to challenge the time limit, having been warned that they w-ould be arrested. The idea of protests similar to the sixties appealed to many. The police began arresting only minutes after the one o'clock deadline. A police line formed between the spectators and the demonstrators to prevent more students from joining the crowd on the steps. Many found it an adventure, some thought it fashionable to be arrested two and even three times, while others enjoyed watching the protesters being dragged away. After nearly an hour of arresting students repeatedly, the size of the crowd on the steps was dwindling, but the audience was growing bigger. One spectator shouted out something on the order of, why don't we join our fellow students and sit down with them. And hundreds more sat down on the opposite side of the police line, completely blocking the west mall. The campus police, facing the new task, turned and walked away. After a few moments of silence, the students soon become bored and went away. It was fun while it lasted. — Mark Lacy 289 Students Too Busy For Issues Students at the University of Houston are not uncaring about the national and local issues, but instead are just too busy to spend extra time watching television and reading newspapers. Tve always got so much to do and not enough time to do it, says sophomore Phyllis Ralls, but school comes first with me.” Students are too busy typing papers, all seemingly due the next day, and scratching up enough lunch money to get a sandwich as they rush to another class. What the students do know about the world outside of UH, they briefly see on television. But even television does not inform us thoroughly enough to get the whole picture, unless we have the time to sit down and really listen. When asked about the Iceland Summit Meeting, Alison Turner, a junior at UH, says, I didn't really have a lot of time to get into it, but I tried to keep up on it as well as 1 could. Most of us. however, only catch Dave Ward as he recaps the top events of tonight's 10 o'clock news! . Localy, the students are more aware of goings on. Most of the students are registered to vote and plan to vote in the upcoming Governor s election. Terre In a futile attempt to increase attendance at UH football games.

Schccl explains that the decision will be based on what she hears from media, and the past records of each candidate. It's important to me who wins, she continues, because of the economy.” But again, a majority of the students are unable to find time to really understand each candidates position. And political phamphlets received in the mail are usually thrown away without a second thought — or a first look. Dan Mclntire, junior, feels that participation in school activities is minimal. There's not enough real interest, he says, and explains that the organizations do not have any effect on the university as a whole. ' There's no effect on anyone, it's just something to do. Because the majority of students are commuters, a small percent- And Activities age of people are involved with campus organizations. Is it up to the university to get students involved with school affairs? Dr. Kenneth Harwood, school of communication, believes it is not the school's responsibility. Students are busy with all the readings and assignments they need to do for their classes. According to Dr. Harwood, he has good attendance and participation in his classes, but outside the class, the students are very busy with school work, for the most part. Tanya Sims, freshman disagrees. It's hard for a freshman to get involved their first year. I don't even know what kinds of clubs and activities there are that I might be interested in. Students are responsible for their grades, sure, but pushing sports and other organizati n$ helps bring in more stude its and offers a needed social 1 ft for new students. Obviously, a university is a world all by itself. There is a x of time and money poured in o each semester, and grades i c important.

It's not surprising her favorite reading materi-is the TV Guide. In the late spring, 1986 she to organize a movement — Party — to run in elections. It never got the ground. All of my were too apathetic to involved, she explains. When the fall rolled around, fed up with all of the early se-activity on campus, she to organize a group — Apathy Club — for students like herself who don't want to get involved. She want to Campus Activities to get an application for new organizations. I even attended the mandatory orientation. Well, she never completed the application. One of the questions on the application asked how your organization is in keeping with the University's philosophy of promoting a healthy academic and social atmosphere. She couldn't explain how the desire to do nothing but watch TV could help very many students learn outside of the classroom. She is quick, however, to point out that she is a RTV major. But anyway, what kind of activities could the Apathy Club sponsor? Who would come to the meetings? Would you need to have a fund-raiser? What if you had money — then what? She talked about it for months but arrived at no solution. So the Apathy Club, like a lot of things, never came into existance. But for Dorothy Jackson that's okay. She watched plenty of TV while she thought about it.

Jodi Berls, the Spring Editor-in-Chief, surrounded by her gang, said. You don't See them competing against us here at the Innertube Regatta — do you? Erin Powers, Eall Editor-in-Chief, analyzed the situation: I think Scott Butterworth was paid money to throw the game. Kristin Jacobsen, a member of the team which suffered a stunning defeat, just laughed it off.

The young fella just walked right on in here — bought a beer. I told him I ain't got none cold so he just took one warm — paid the money and said he's on his way to a staff picnic. Evangelista later sent a telegram to the Daily Cougar office to let everyone know he was having a good time. The origin of that message — Lola's, a small bar on Fairview where he had reportedly been working on an alcohol study. 297 Yearbook Scandal In the latest developments.

KitE MOW SHOWING 299 At the Student Program Board, often the remark Join the Program Board: do everything is exclaimed during periods of great anxiety brought on by the extreme pressure of organizing new, exciting, high-quality programs for the enjoyment of the entire student body. Even I, the even-tempered Visual and Performing Arts Vice-chair, have been known to utter damnations under my breath. This was especially true during the organizing of the precedent setting performance of La Bohme with Texas Opera Theater. One evening, after hours and hours of slaving over a computer and being interrupted by one too many phone calls, I answered the phone with a very business-like, Program board — we never sleep! much to the amusement of the person on the receiving end. He never realized just how serious I was. Of course I am not the only member of SPB to snap into the phone. I have overheard Cinema Chair Katrina Phillips chime in an incredibly sweet voice, SPB-we never close.” This is a tiny, tiny exaggeration of the truth. Admittedly, it does feel that way sometimes. I believe my most bizzare experience as a member of SPB happened during the Homecoming week, the single, most hectic period for us of the fall semester. While 1 was helping clean up after our Video Dance Party. I went down to the underground of the University Center (our headquarters), somehow managing to carry both the french-onion dip and my tired aching limbs without a major catastrophe. Or so I thought. On the way back, I was too tired to drag my exhausted body up two flights of stairs, so I took the elevator. Big mistake! Halfway between the first and second floor the elevator stopped. There I was at two o’clock in the morning, claustrophobic and alone in an elevator. Naturally, I was seized by panic and I frantically jabbed the alarm bell. The doors kept teasingly opening and exposing concrete walls and then closing again. I had visions of being left there all night or not being found for days. Luckily my Continued. Poor attendance plagued many programs this year, and for some — deservedly so. The Dallas Brass, however, was an act that deserved a much larger audience. They were booked in the Moody Towers cafeteria and publicity was on short notice to say the least. Their spectacular performance was seen by only about fifty lucky people. La Boheme attracted a reasonable crowd for Puccini’s opera sung entirely in English. SPB brought the Texas Opera Theater to Wortham for one performance on campus. 301 strange disappearance was noticed by Jim Delane. Small Stage Committee Chair. He found the night manager with the magic key that eventually led to my freedom. To this very day I worship the ground that Jim Delane's small, red, UH tennis shoes tread upon. Most of the work and frustration of organizing and coordinating such a large-scale production as the Opera rested on the shoulders of Cathi Star, Campus Wide Activities chair. How that girl managed to get married the very same week as the opera-production is a mystery to all us members. To her, too. I'm afraid. But it isn’t all weddings and miraculous rescues. Sometimes we take our little frustrations out on each other. If it isn't Cathi arguing with Jim. it's Katrina arguing with Video Chair, Jack Simms, or Jack arguing with Jim, or Jim arguing with the secretary ... get the picture? I, of course, never argue with anybody. Lip Sync contests arc always fun. Prince is performed by Carlos Rodriguez and Sharon Finley is Madonna for a day. Photos by Michael Williams. We do have our moments of family togetherness and true affection. Some of us have pet names for some of the committees and committee members. For instance, I affectionately refer to the Large Stage Committee as the Large Hair Committee because of their somewhat eccentric hairstyles. But we all try to get along with each other. Perhaps this is giving you a bad impression. Actually, all petty quibbles aside, SPB is quite fun. There is no greater satisfaction than doing a job and doing it well. There are many other rewards to being a member of SPB. It's my feeling — and I am not alone — that the experience in leadership, diplomacy, and public relations is invaluable. Above all, there are the lasting friendships built on the need for teamwork, cooperation, and mutual respect that makes this — and any job — worthwhile. — Theresa O'Hagen u toy PAR R BOARD ' n coMM rriL ,xise 302 H S .

Chinese Acrobats Jar juggling, ribbon dancing and a pagoda of chairs were just a few of the acts spectators were treated to when the Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats and Magicians of Taipei appeared in Cullen Auditorium in November. The troupe is made up of the most distinguished family Chinese performers today, the Changs. They have performed on numerous television shows, including Mcrv Griffin, Dinah Shore and That's Incredible. The company is headed by Danny Chang, oldest son of Len Chi who started the family troupe and also heads the Tiwanese National School of Acrobats, known as the Fu-Hsin school. Three brothers, Yu Ching, Ko Jen, and Yu Lung, and two sisters, Chun Mei and Mei Yu, carry on the twenty year family tradition, along with 15 other acrobats and magicians. Chinese acrobatics is far more than a series of stunts. It is an ancient and intergral part of Chinese culture and based on a desire to find a perfect harmony between mind and body, thus achieving perfection. To be chosen as an acrobat in China is a big honor, said Gloria Kong, president of the Chinese Student Association, the organization that sponsered the show. And UH was certainly honored by their performance. —Deanna Rodriguez Audiences were astounded as a member of the troupe balanced himself and seven chairs all atop four fragile wine bottles.

The last truck left at 5:30 a.m„ headed for a secluded section of Sam Houston State Park. Bundled up in the backs of three personal carriers, 20 Houston-area college students were off to meet 40 others already there. They all were to learn how to defend America, getting ready for a real war. No one talked; the noise of the wind was deafening in the back of the trucks. The 90-minute ride bounced to an end and the gear was unloaded, methodically, just like the military requires. Each bag had a place, according to plans made well in advance. Military food is acronymed like so many things related to the U.S. government. We took the rations or MREs (meals ready to eat) when the truck was unloaded and just added them to the rest of the gear. In all, six reconnaisance missions were planned, each designed to teach basic military maneuvers and skills. Members of the UH ROTC program take at least three more such trips each year to different locations in Texas. War and killing seemed like such a distant and unrelated thing until one particular drill • Lane Five. The thick woods, bug infestation and sound of gunfire put me as close as I’ll ever get to Nicaragua. I hope. Rambo, I wasn't. Fortunately for the military, I was the only person who seemed really shaken by the sound of gunfire, although the others quickly hit the deck when it came. The cadets, some of the officers later remarked, weren't as serious as they should have been before M-60 opened fire. That changed — even if it was blanks. The platoon then reacted to the attack with a counterattack and rushed the enemy to check the vital signs.” The good guys” took one prisoner. Two more soldiers were found dead. Then came the mistake. Neglecting to locate the leader of the ambush (the guy with the machine gun), he then shot into the air to remind the cadets of his presence. They would have been dead if it was real. But five more drills throughout the day gave everybody a chance to win. By nightfall, nearly everyone had become a hero at least once ••• some more often than others. Byron Price of Texas Southern has a stint in airborn ahead of him when he graduates on down the line. He was my guide through all of this.

If a helicopter flies over Mcnue No. 7 — which I received when we arrived early in the morning — consisted of specks of diced turkey with gravy, a potato patty, crackers, indestructible grape jelly, fruit nut cake.

All of it was packaged in the same three shades of brown The food had no consistency — so it was spoons or nothing The turkey entree had a subtle Spamish taste. No choice of drinks here, either. It was canteen water, with a plastic flavor. As bad as the food seems now, it didn't matter then. It served best as a good excuse to sit down. I saved Menu No. 5 for dinner — six hours away. Of the group 15 were women. Some were completing requirements to become military nurses. During the missions, the women were expected to equal the men's performances. Oddly enough, it was once they had proven themselves that the men treated them more like ladies. Otherwise, there seemed no difference. Another leader of the group. UH junior Ronald Prather filled some of the more boring moments carving dog heads out of the tops of walking sticks. 310 Nightfall came with the surprise of total darkness. Pitch black is the only way to describe the moonless woods. Flashlights showed us what we were eating — some of which should have remained unidentified. By now, MREs were old hat. After dinner, there was a re-con group ready to go out on one last night mission — a maneuver in which a terrorist camp on the San Jacinto River near Conroe was investigated and overtaken. At midnight, they returned, having learned that an enemy camp had planned a raid on theirs. In an act that doesn't bode well for either Khomeini or Gadhafi, the terrorist camp was destroyed and two prisoners were captured. Six more were killed. The “good guys lost no one. In a night class back at camp, the remaining cadets learned how to land helicopters. At that point, the cadets were told they would have to die before requesting a helicopter to land in a chemically contaminated area during a war. You wouldn't expect them to do that? they were rhetorically asked. A resounding No was all that was heard. By 9 p m., most of the people in the groups were falling asleep, but it took a warning from one of the leaders to encourage it. Anybody wanting snakes or spiders in your tents keep making noise and light. That was enough for me. The undeniable sound of camp leaders yelling, Motivate, Motivate” had everyone up by 5 a.m. We had 25 minutes, we were told to be in formation with gear packed. The grunts” had the duty of cleaning the grounds and packing the officers' equipment. This time, the ride wasn't quite so bad. No one would have cared anyway. Exhausted, nearly everyone slept, getting ready for life back on campus and in the city. And, oh yes, the next war. 311 — Merry Jones ROTC Military Science Department, Faculty and Staff; Front row: Paula Arccneaux, MAJ Fred Livuaidais, CPT Sonia Gaidelis, SSG Mary Keyes, Jeanne Feltes, SGM James Booker.

UH Profejof Gerry Gardner was instrumental in electing national officers at the 21 st Annual NOW Convention in Philadelphia, PA. Also at the convention members raised over $550,000 for the presidential campaign of Patricia Schroedcr. Photos by Michael Williams. NOW Continues ERA Efforts At the 1987 convention of the National Organization for Women in Philadelphia, members elected national officers and set their agenda for the next three years. Gerald H.F. Gardner, University of Houston electrical engineering professor and faculty advisor for NOW, was a part of the process. As a voting delegate at the convention, Gardner helped to elect the United Feminist Action Campaign as the national NOW officers for the next three years. The four candidates from that party were: Molly Yard (president), Patricia Ireland (vice-president-executive), Sheri O'Dell (vice president-action, and Kim Gandy (secretary). During the convention, Gardner, along with about two thousand other NOW members, raised over $350,000 for the presidential campaign of Colorado Congresswoman Patricia Schroedcr. The money was pledged in less than 30 minutes. Gardner feels that Schroedcr's candidacy is the logical recipient of NOW support. She seems to be the only candidate who is sympathetic with the issues that NOW addresses. he states. Gerald Gardners involvement in NOW began in 1968. He was twice elected president of the local chapter in Pittsburgh, Pa. He also served as treasurer of Pennsylvania NOW and was elected in 1972 to NOW's national governing board. These are positions rarely held by men in NOW. After he joined the chapter in Pittsburgh he worked diligently to bring about the nationwide desegregation of newspaper help-wanted ads. He was present with Wilma Scott Hcide, the founder of the first Pittsburgh chapter of NOW. when they formally met with the publisher of the Pittsburgh Press in an effort to bring about the desegregation of malc fcmale help-wanted ads. Negotiations with the Pittsburgh Press would NIZAT1QN POB WOMEN eventually stall and produce little progress. Gardner would later prepare and present testimony in Washington, D.C. at a hearing held by the office of Federal Contact Compliance. The fruits of NOW's (and Gardner's) labors were reaped in 1972 when the U.S. Supreme Court, in the case of Pittsburgh Press v. The Pittsburgh Human Relations Commission and NOW, ruled in favor of NOW and the Pittsburgh Human Relations Commission. In the fifteen years since that Supreme Court decision, Gardner has remained a staunch supporter of feminist views. This has made him invaluable as the faculty advisor for NOW at UH. Dr. Gardner left his position of 24 years with Gulf Oil in 1980 and joined the faculty of the University of Houston as a professor of electrical engineering and has taught geophysics students since then. He became the faculty advisor for the UH chapter in 1981 and has been reelected every year since. It's a position that Gardner says he enjoys very much and he is ap • preciative of the link it providt s between faculty and student Dr. Gardner is also pleased t see that some members go o i to have a deeper involvement i i NOW. One such member i; Helen Ortiz, who is present 1' serving on NOW's natioml governing board. Dr. Gardner has attended ev ery NOW convention since hr joined the organization in 1968 He felt that the 1987 conventior had more issues to deal with than in the past. And he happily noted that in this convention there was no major crisis that could impede progress. He feels that the unity presently prevailing in NOW will be of vital importance in the months ahead as NOW, along with other national activist groups, steps up it's efforts to prevent the confirmation of President Reagan s controversial nominee to U.S. Supreme Court — Robert Bork. Many feminists see the Bork confirmation as a threat to many landmark decisions that have been handed 316 down by the court in the last 30-40 years. One decision that many feminists feel would be in certain jeopardy is the Roe v. Wade case which legalized abortion in 1972. Bork is viewed as a conservative legal theorist and is staunchly against abortion. Dr. Gardner and the rest of the contingent from NOW at UH also attended an impressive march and rally through downtown Philadelphia in support of the Equal Rights Amendment.

It is the site of many special events, like this year's Memorial for Dr. Martin Luther King. But what many do not know is that the Religion Center is available for weddings for students, faculty, staff and alumni. 323 The Closing Sell-outs For many, the musical event of the year was U2 in the Summit. The band members are Bono (top), Larry Mullen. Jr. (middle). The Edge on guitar (bottom) and Adam Clayton (right). Photos by Kim Cord Who will be remembered as the best musical act of the '80 s • Bruce Springstein, Michael Jackson or Kool and the Gang. Hopefully, some will be brave enough to say U2. The four member band from across the Atlantic has evolved from the days of Boy, October, and War with a small following, into one of the best selling bands of the decade. With the release of The Unforgettable Fire, featuring Pride, the band made a graceful transition from the club circuit to the concert hall. Finally landing U2 in the Summit for two shows, The Joshua Tree made commercial airplay with Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For” and With or Without You. With or without fame and fortune, the small following have remained the biggest fans. 326 No one style of music dominated the year on the charts. Bon ( You give Love a Bad Name”) Jovi, the pretty boys of metal were a big hit among high school and college students alike, while Madonna maintained her image as a video star with her No. 1 hit Open Your Heart”. But looks weren’t everything — the Beastie Boys took their new style of metal rap all the way to the top. Much to the dismay of some, and the approval and amusement of others, the Beastie Boys' first album, Licensed to III remained at No. 1 on the charts for weeks on end. Selling two million copies in three months, the album was the fastest-selling debut album in Columbia Records' history. 327 Beastie, B.A.D. And Red Hot Staff Selects For 1986-87 Just when it seemed to be all over for rap music, 1986-87 was a banner year with the new style of the Beastie Boys and Run-DMC. These performers brought back new life with the Raisin' Hell tour. Run-DMC spun several hits including My Addidas and You Be Min from their album Raisin' Hell, Their remake of Walk This Way was named the top single of 1986 by The New York Times and L A. Times. But the real history, however brief it might be. was the controversy stirred up by the juvenile dilenqucnt raps of the Beastie Boys. They describe themselves best as a lot of beer, a lot of girls and a lot of cursin'.” Their stage antics along with their crude lyrics raised a few eyebrows around the country. From the Beasties Licensed to III, Fight for Your Right to Party upset parents and teachers alike, but the album included an entire slate of obnoxious hits. Among them were She's Crafty. Girls and Brass Monkey. The media courage was per- haps the most interesting effect of the Beastie Boys. One magazine compared them to Son of Sam. It wasn't all bad though. Melody Maker in England named their album the best of 1986. while one headline read Three Jerks Make a Masterpiece. )28 The best concerts of the year for the money were Big Audio Dynamite at Numbers ($5) and at the Ensemble Theatre ($7). Ex-Clash singer Mick Jones has returned as the leader of B.A D with a more positive outlook on life. Photos by lirendx Thompson. Never count out the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Yearbook staff proclaims these funk headbangers. the band of the future. 329 It's been two years since Adam Scherburnc graced the I.ynn Husan and Houston Room stages with his band the Usuals. Now he's the leader of Until December, with an album full of local club favorites on Columbia Records. Over the course of the year the band returned to Houston, from their new home base in San Fran-sisco, to play shows at Cafe Mode (Power Tools), NRG and Finally at the Maceba Theatre. Love and Rockets, ex-Bauhaus members featuring Daniel Ash on guitar, brought the most talked about performance of the year to Numbers. Photo by Brenda Thompson. 330 Heros (or maybe not) for the 80s: When a friend told me I had to see this band — what were they called — Bad Mutha Goose, I thought, Oh yea right, another one of the forty million bands from Austin.” But all that changed upon seeing them for the first time. With Billy and Alvin on the mic, and Tim on guitar, they can do no wrong. Computerman Dr. Z runs the go-go beat that drives their high energy funk rap style of music. Even as the band is working to pay the rest, their message is 100% purely positive. Look for them in your town! Ronald Reagan best acting David Lettcrman best attitude Gore Vidal best guest on Larry King Jim Bakker and Tammy Bakker best entertainment (it's a tie!)

Leonard Nimoy makes a hillarious journey back in time to present-day San Francisco. Another at the top of the long line of adventure films released this year was Crocodile Dundee. Paul Hogan plays an Aussie frontiersman with a great deal of wit, who is experiencing life in New York City for the first time. On the lighter side of adventure — Terris Mueller 's Day Off by John Hughes ( Breakfast Club) attracted a younger audience. On the heavier side — Platoon, with Tom Berenger, was the intense Vietnam release of the year. Possibly its the best of all Vietnam action films to date. 332 Sid and Nancy is destine to become a Cult classic. The bizarre talc of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spurgeon featured Gary Oldman and Chloc Webb. Hollywood Shuffle was another film with a small but dedicated audience. 333 Editor-in-Chief Mark Scoop Lacy Managing Editor Shawn Collier Features Editor Edwin Gallaher Photography Editor Michael Chilliams” Sports Editor Darrell Hutto ,dude Residence Halls Greeks Editor Diane George Writers Dan Lightning Alder Muneera Hussain Carmella Roberts Theresa o' Hagen Marilyn Swanson Gina Son Photographers Merry Jones John Schmalz Dan Alder Kim Card Shenaz Patel Heather Mirsky Marilyn Swanson Paul Nicosia Aaron Pena Wayne Crull Dane Duhon Patrick Coleman Layout Sherry Marsh Mary Valle Linda Chiu Jostens Rep.

And, finding out that I juld have to go through a s ies of dungeons and fight igons to get there (I compare :o a ridiculous game because : st of the obstacles seem to lengthy and pointless). And v lat's worse is that being the I litor seems to mean being a ; ne in all of these trials. Upon falling asleep: Every ! mute of this twenty-four hour j urney was a day long, but t cryday passed by in seconds. me was speeding and I was j ing from room to room fran-t ally searching for the way c it. The cavernous rooms were 1 ;e dungeons. I stumbled out the blackness of a long hall- ay into the largest room. aere were dim lights, echoing, ; id people all sitting around a 1 ng wooden table. They ap-f ared to be holding a meeting, it they were all staring off in fferent directions as if they ere each looking for the way it. Noticing that the main orway, with light seeping in ound it, was blocked by toped stones, I began to make ggestions about how we uld work to remove the ob-ades and be free from this emature casket. But as each : . rson faced the tasks which ould be before them in order accomplish this freedom, ley began to pour gobblets of c, get drunk and fall asleep, vs the light disappeared behind le door, I was on the road to owhere. So I continued to run. Oc-'assionally a hallway would lead me in the worst possible direction. I ran up against committees of hinchmen and dead ends with scripts on the walls so baffling that they could only serve the purpose of bureaucracy. There were dragons in pits with screeming sirens and intense flames, but ineffective. I fell into one of the traps, being dragged to my knees. Before an alter I was told by a man without a face that I would be haunted until my journey was complete. I had met with a pol-tergeist that followed me, repeatedly stabbing me in the heart. A part of me was gone forever. The faster I ran blindly through the tunnels, the more loud and boisterous voices kept saying, Are you there yet? Are you there yet? Arc you there yet? . They were laughing and pushing me in a direction 1 didn’t want to go, into a lounge crowded with only six people. They were all speaking, but no one was listening. They were lifeless with insects crawling all over them. I turned and ran in the opposite direction, bloodied from not seeing the obstacles in front of me. I found myself back in the largest room, the people still asleep on the long table, all dreaming but accomplishing nothing, and failing to take notice of the crumbling walls. Spineless configurations had followed me, babbling, with insects crawling from their eye sockets. My heart racing with fear and bleeding from its wounds, I kept calling to the people between gasps for air. But they were all too concerned with themselves to take notice of their fate. They stared at the emptiness relentlessly with glassy eyes, expecting. The door finally splintered open under the tremendous burden of the cold stone walls, but the light by now had vanished. Behind it was just one more dark path that only leads back into the same dreams. Upon waking to face reality: I know now that I can never have sympathy for people who arc tired or bored, when they talk of bold ideas. And settling for mediocrity is a shameful act to follow, but whether it be a large institution or a few individuals, determination and dedication is generally lacking. From my experiences I’ve learned that those who don’t do enough will gladly accept the most credit, whereas, those who worked the hardest will usually feel they didn’t do enough.
