The Phoenix First class mail Thirty cents I Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA 19081 Volume 102, Number 5; October 2, 1981 Ramsey Clark calls for unilateral disarmament by Franz Paasche On Friday Sept. 25, Ramsey Clark presented the William I. Hull Lecture commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Swarthmore College Peace Collection. With impassioned eloquence, Clark, once Attorney General of the United States and longtime political maverick, centered his discussion on the peace movement and, more specifically, the need for disarmament. Stating that "The only worthwhile quest for humanity is the quest for peace," Clark called for the "total and unilateral disarmament of the United States". Conceding that his strategy for peace is "radical", Clark defended his stance by stressing the imminent danger and immorality of the arms race. He noted that the proliferation of nuclear weapons was accelerating to a level where, by the turn of the century, 25 to 30 countries would have nuclear capabilities. Branding the arms race as the "greatest horror of history," Clark pointed out that the world spends twice as much on weapons as on health. "We can find...more horrible ways of killing populations quickly," Clark stated as he called for an end to all research and development in the area of armaments. He continued to say that America's role as "the principal supplier of arms on earth" is totally incongruent with the values of freedom and equality on which America was founded. Claiming that the values of modern America are reflected in President Reagan's budget, Clark expressed his hope that Americans would re-evaluate their materialistic goals and work for peace. «. While Clark did not speak in depth of his own experiences in public life, he did touch upon his highly publicized visit to Iran. He described America's extended paralysis in the hostage crisis as symptomatic of her unwillingness to lose face, her continual failure to take the first step. Drawing on the Attica prison riots as a domestic example of this American characterisitic, Clark went on to attribute the continuing arms race to America's reluctance to initiate compromise." If someone is not willing to take the first steps...there will be no steps towards peace" In concluding, Clark advised his audience, recalling the words of Pablo Cassals, "be young, to be young all your life and to say things to the world that are true." Perhaps more telling, however, was Clark's earlier proclamation: "The drive for peace is the only game in town that's worth playing." Clark: "The only worthwhile quest for humanity is the quest for P**6'* -Phillip Neiman Parrish and Blue Route major concerns of first Board meeting by Meredith Halpern Describing the Board of Managers' first meeting of the semester as "organizational and tone-setting," President Theodore Friend told representatives of Student Council and The Phoenix last Monday that the Board's major concerns this past weekend were the renovation of Parrish and the continuing study of the Blue Route. As a result of the "overflow of exuberance over Mertz," Friend noted that plans for Parrish have "bubbled up again." The Board, according to Friend, heard reports on the financial and developmental options of the building and has accelerated its space planning. "It is, however, too early to set a date for completion of the project," noted Friend. Included on the agenda for the Board weekend was the dedication of the newly constructed Mertz dormitory. Both Harold and Esther Mertz, the major sponsors of the project, were present at the dedication and, said Friend, "they were thrilled by their visit. According to the Mertzes, "Swarthmore students are terrific. They [the Mertzes] were fond of the College before, but now they're in love with it." In regard to the Blue Route controversy. Friend reported the Board continues to be concerned with the Blue route (1-476), but is not taking any action at this point. "The Board authorized a new study of best policy alternatives for protecting our natural and educational environment against damage from the planned 1-476." Friend noted the College is still working on highway design as a member of the Penn. DOT Task Force. The Board expects an updated report of the study at its next scheduled meeting, Dec. 5 and 6. Vice President for Finance Lawrence Landry commented that the Property Committee of the Board is considering options for the future of The Preps (Palmer and Pittinger dormitories). The possibility of converting these dorms into either townhouses or condominiums was raised, Landry said, and the Board continues to study the plan's feasibility. According to Landry, "The construction on the science library is advancing nicely." It is scheduled for completion in September, 1982, one year from its ground breaking date. He also noted the pool construction was going "very well" and said the old Hall Gym pool should be torn down sometime this fall, thereby enlarging the parking area beside Hall Building by an additional 19 spaces. Mertzes honored at dedication by Ruwan Salgado On Saturday, Sept. 26, Swarthmore officially dedicated its newest dormitory, Mertz Residence Hall, at a ceremony honoring Harold and Esther Mertz, the major contributors to the hall's funding. The ceremony was preceded by a luncheon given by the College's Board of Managers for the Mertzes and representatives of the architectural and construction firms which designed and built the dorm, as well as for college staff members who were involved in the project. Following the dedication, Swarthmore students, faculty and guests celebrated outdoors in accordance with the ceremony's "Farm Fair" theme. The public dedication began in the main lounge of Mertz with speeches by President Theodore Friend and the Mertzes. Mertz RAs Dana Lyon and Janet Vultee also spoke on behalf of the Swarthmore student body and their fellow residents. The dedication ceremony then moved outdoors where the Mertzes helped to mortar the building's datestone into place. After the official ceremony was over, the remainder of the afternoon was devoted to the "Farm Fair." Sarah Gentry, another Mertz RA, devised the unusual theme. The "Farm Fair" celebrations included tug-of-war contests, obstacle races, a farm animal costume contest and a baking contest. In his speech. President Friend said the gift of Mertz was given by a man who had the unusual distinction of being both "an entrepreneur and a philanthropist." Mr. Mertz (Class of' 26) who is the founder and senior partner of Publisher's Clearing House, the organization which first sold periodicals by direct mail, funded the entire $3 million dorm. The 140 room Mertz Hall has already helped alleviate Swarthmore's housing problem. But according to Mr. Mertz, who in his speech stated, "Esther and I don't believe in bricks and mortar; we believe in people, the wonderful, new dormitory was given in the hope that it would help shape and better the lives of the students who live in it." —Phillip isteiman Mertz dormitory was the site of much festivity last Saturday at its formal dedication. Peace leaders converse by Emilie Amt Three major figures in the American peace movement participated in a "Roundtable Retrospective on the Peace Movement," on Friday, Sept. 25, in McCabe Library. The discussion was part of the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Peace Collection. Kay Camp, a leader of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, moderated the discussion. The other participants were Mildred Scott Olmsted, director emerita of the WILPF, and E. Raymond Wilson, known for his work for the Society of Friends on national issues. Camp opened with a paraphrase of the adage that "those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it." A modernday version, she said, might run: "If we don't wise up to what Olmsted and Wilson are into, well self-destruct in nothing flat." Before turning the program over to the the featured speakers, Camp noted that she had just returned from Europe, where, she said, "the will [for peace] is burgeoning. The idea of a nuclear-free zone is gripping the imagination, especially in Scandinavia." Olmsted reminisced about the early days of the peace movement and spoke of the stages such a movement must go through: education, legislation, mass movement, "and after that, if you're any good, you win." Olmsted identified the major strains of the movement as the religious, the feminist and the political. In the political sphere, early peace activists looked up to Mahatma Ghandi as "the great example"; later Martin Luther King served as an inspiration. "We don't have any great international or national figure like that today who is practicing non-violence, so that we can see how it works," said Olmsted. Olmsted emphasized that while some groups today advocate a return to a simpler, easier time, the proponents of peace look ahead. "The peace movement," she insisted, "works with history not against it." On today's conservative political climate, she commented, "I think that's a challenge; I think it's exciting. I think in the long run we may say 'thank you' to Mr. Reagan, not because we like him, but because we don't like him—because he's pushed together so many different groups that have been divided by all kinds of things." "I don't get discouraged," (continued on page 10) NOTICE SEPTA has announced that service on the Media Local line which serves Swarthmore will be reduced effective Sun., Oct. 4. Weekend and evening service will suffer most as a result of the cutbacks. Commuters are advised to consult new schedules available from SEPTA before making travel plans.

Editorial Council deserves support Swarthmore students owe a lot to student government. The student activities budget provides a rich variety of entertainment, recreation and other opportunities to the community; the committee system allows students to work with faculty, administrators and even Board members in many areas of college administration. From academics to dining hall policy, from resource use to discipline, students play a vital part in running this school. And there are always more proposals than can be funded, more applicants to committees than can be appointed. It's odd, then, that Student Council, the elected body that oversees all this, doesn't receive more support and attention from the students as a whole than it does. Examples: A common reaction to the recent election was "Who caredenough to stuff the ballot-box?" A common response to those of us who defend Council is "They don't do anything anyway." Well, they do. Council's primary responsibilities, of course, are the budget and the committees, and those are no small tasks. Beyond that. Council is mainly a reactive body. "People expect us to have a 'DiPirro five-point plan for economic recovery'," a disgruntled SC member remarked recently. "We're not supposed to have a legislative program." Council, say its members, serves as a "clearinghouse for disputes, complaints and new ideas." The surest, easiest way to publicize a suggestion or grievance and get something done about it is to take it to Council or to an SC member. "We listen. We listen to everybody." For a few hours each Sunday night Council deals publicly with its constituents'concerns. Some of this business appointments appeals, for instance—directly affects only a few students. Some has a wider effect. A few cases in point: Two years ago Council was instrumental in the push for better security on campus and established the student escort service. Last year Council made a major effort to reach off-campus students about their concerns, and began exploring the possibility of individual telephones. Including birthdates on the new IDs was one of Council's ideas, too. When an issue is inflammatory, like the duplicating service controversy last year or the election problems. Council holds forums to inform students and let them air their views on the matter. As an SC member put it, "There are no crusades without impetus from the students."The best way to support Council is to use it, as a resource and as a sounding board for those "disputes, complaints and new ideas," and informed, constructive criticism. Kudos for cheers "Not here?!" Unfortunately, that seems to be fairly widespread response among the student body to the recent formation of a cheerleading squad. It looks like an example of the outlook identified by Dean Janet Dickexson when she stated, "I think that what sometimes happens is that there are so-called liberals as arrogant and intolerant as everyone else." We dont mean to imply that liberals oppose cheerleading, but some students who profess to be open-minded have adopted a rather closed view on this subject. Why shouldn't cheerleading have a place in the Swartßrndre community? People who associate cheerleading with "rah-rah" girls bopping around the sidelines are guilty of gross negative stereotyping. To arbitrarily classify an activity as beneath the "dignity" or intelligence of Swarthmore students is condescending and judgmental. The cheerleaders' effort to promote attendance and generate enthusiasm for athletic events is superb. If they are able to create more excitement at games, as they did last Saturday, our teams will be encouraged and the fans will have a better time. Beyond the athletic field, one influence the cheerleaders could have on Swarthmore would be to promote support within the community. Students at Swarthmore should strive to surpass tolerance of and respect for diversity and develop an appreciation of other people's talents. Such an endeavor—exemplified by the cheerleaders—is surely as dignified as any at Swarthmore. Rather than criticize this attempt to foster internal support, we should emulate the squad's example. The opportunities are here—in music, art, athletics, lectures, drama. Interest in others' pursuits and mutual support can only enhance each individual's experience here and benefit the entire community. Letters Neon romance Tq the Editor: The neon orange flashes in my mirror shades as 1 enter the hasem*nt night cluh. 1 scan the crowd they all look suspicious, but only one of them is guilty. Tonight, anyway. The maitre d'hotel seems as though he should belong to the mafia executive board. Perhaps he does. A raised forefinger and a waitress appears to take my order. As she hurries off. I turn and take in the scene. Pipes run across the ceiling, "the Club" in neon gleams across the cold brick wall. The local talent plays the piano tonight while some blonde drapes herself seductively on the piano, and croons some hackneyed, sentimental song. A perfect place to deliver secret documents to the Nazis... Then, of course, the waitress gives me my Tunnel of Fudge cake, and I'm back on the campus of a small. Eastern liberal arts college. But for those first moments, I'd like to thank David Boltson. Joel Weiss and the rest of the staff of the Club. They have created a marvelous piece of theater, which aKo doubles as a place to go out toon Friday niyhts without having to go to Philly. Greg Davidson *K3 Congrats to Club managers To the Editor: I wish to extend my sincere thanks to David Boltson and Joel Weiss for bringing The Club to Swarthmore. This is surely the freshest and most exciting addition to our social life in recent years, and The Club is certainly the classiest place where friends' can get together to enjoy good food, drink and music. Thank you, Dave and Joel. Bruce Weinstein 'B2 'Revolutionary' Saga proposal wastes money To the Editor: The Saga proposal to "revolutionize food service at Swarthmore" is a money. $250,000 spent to correct a problem which would as easily be corrected by making scheduling changes is profligate. It is time to forget this pie-eyed liberal idea that throwing money at a problem will make it go away. We appreciate Chuck Spiegel's thoughtful consideration of the matter and support his statement that there are alternative avenues to wasting all this ca5h...... ' Mamie Duff Jon Pitkin *B3 Ted Rock -83 Alexandra Troy *B3 David H. Goodman *B3 Random reflections on campus and world To the Editor A few disjointed reflections on various happenings around campus: Ramsey Clark spoke eloquently on Friday Sept. 25. ahout world affairs and the need for peace. Brought by the Peace Collection, he discussed a number of issues which touch all of us: disarmament, arms sales, starving children, our so-called Democracy and others. Of course, we all have the good sense to realize that his hopes and goals are unrealizable events. Indeed, we simply need turn to his quote of Thucydides and its relevance for our times to realize that humankind is unable to achieve goals such as peace. In light of Clark's speech, I commend the SCJCFPA (Swarthmore College Jewish Committee for Political Action) on its stand regarding the sale of AWACs to Saudi Arabia. There are certainly enough guns and other assorted weapons over there. I wonder, however if the SCJCFPA will be concerned about increased weaponry when Israel receives its next shipment of fighter pilots. Personally, fhough. I am in favor of shipping as much weaponry to Israel as possible (unquestionably they need tactical nuclear weapons as well). A firmer and more faithful ally the U.S. could not hope to have. (And let us not forget reliable,) Why does the U.S. bother with the Middle East? Could the answer be that she wishes to spread democracy? I think such a cause would be worthy coming from our strong and thriving democracy. Frankly, though, two other reasons come to mind: oil and the strategic positioning right beneath the good old "soft" underbelly of the Soviet Union. It seems that if U.S. foreign policy interests have to do with oil our dear friends the Saudis should get whatever they want. (They also have a lot of dollars.) Recently, they called for an oil price freeze. W hat more could we ask for? Israeli ("Let's blow a nuclear reactor") forces seem to be a source of instability—counter to American "policy". Strategic strong points in the Middle East give the U.S. greater opportunity to hitch up our britches and draw the gun (Clark's Virginian). Yes, you Soviets, we Americans have genitalia. But enough; on to a more local issue: BALLOT-STUFFING (and believe me I am as bored by it as you are). 1 felt the Phoenix editorial of Sept. 25 was hard— hitting and accurate (and it's about time). The strength of our democracy has been undermined—fairy-tale land has arsenic in it. Possibly the perpetrators of such foul deeds should have had body parts ripped out. But no, I have it, the conspirators will sew a bright yellow "B" onto their clothes. With paper bags over their heads (to preserve their anonymity) they will stand upon the "Thing" for a day. Swarthmore students may parade by and spit. I should completely dismiss the issue of the large amount of the "light" fine money which went to The Phoenix. After all, empirical evidence as to the amount of lost advertising can be furnished less than one week after the event took place. But maybe even that fine would not be enough. Let us return to another campuswide issue where the participants were members of an oft-maligned and persecuted 'group*: The "Jeans-burning incident". Our mo'rality was outraged—"SUSPEND THEM"—people shouted. Oh what grievous punishment those young men received. Even now, I still respect them for the torture they went through. The issue of abortion has once again been carried to the nether regions of rationality. I will leave it there except to make two comments. One, the legal status of a fetus has always been somewhat nebulous. Two, perhaps once again, we need to address the issue of the physical and mental well-being of the mother and her child. But these issues become certainly irrelevant as the vision of six million dead fetusi horrifies my mind. In closing, we should be glad that men like Ramsey Clark care enough to waste their breath. For a few brief seconds, one can almost believe in him. Frank Borchert *B3 October 2, 1981 2 Phoenix opinion The Phoenix Swarthmore College _. _ , . _. . w .

The question of abortion: politicized morality To the Editor: We are writing in response to the viewpoint by Kent George in last week's Phoenix. Unlike most anti-abortion statements, George's obviously took some thought and thus deserves a careful answer. i irst of all. there is no concensus as to ,N iK-n life begins, either among the scientific , the religious communities. Anti..hortionists would like to draw a sharp line ut the moment of conception. This is clearly a convenient line; once conception has nccured there exists the gene blueprint for a human being. However, the absurdity of this approach is clear; if a zygote is defined as a human being, then useof the pill or the Hi I) is murder, since they act after conception by preventing the implantation of a fertilized egg. (This is not an accidental logical problem for the anti-abortionists; many of them are encaged in an active campaign against birth"control.) In short, it is clear that there is no "natural." absolute dividing line between the potential human being and the human 'being. Many of us agree that viability is one important guideline; fetuses cannot survive outside the woman before about six months. Anti-abortion legislation threatens the tradition of separation of church and state. I hose who are accustomed to connecting strong religious beliefs with an anti-abortion stance should be aware that there is an organized coalition of churches and religious groups who support abortion rights (Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights). Many churches teach that under some circ*mstances, abortion is the most moral choice a woman can riake. We also believe that abortion is the most moral choice a woman can make under some circ*mstances. When the woman cannot care for a child, or when she is pregnant as a result of rape or incest, then there is no chance for that potential human being to have a decent life. Because of this, and since the question of when human life begins is a matter of individual religious/ethnic belief, the decision whether to end an unwanted must be left up to the individual woman. However, abortion is not simply a moral issue, it is also a political issue. The antiabortion movement is overtly anti-feminist. Access to safe abortion is an absolute necessity if women are ever to attain the status of full human beings. The right to control reproduction is one of our most fundamental rights. Male control of reproduction has historically been a critical instrument of oppression. Mr. George says he is concerned about the helpless in our society. We would like him to consider that one out of eight women will be raped in her lifetime, that there are hundreds of thousands of incest victims in America and that since the Hyde Amendment became law, po<ver women are turning to the backalley butchers. Arc these women the powerful in our society? Susan Gallagher writes, "The drive to eliminate abortion is inevitably linked, no matter how it may be justified, to a set of be'iefs that regard pregnancy as a punishment for sexual behaviour. It reflects and reinforces the patriarchal attitude that procreation is the only excuse, and motherhood the only redemption, for women's sexuality." (WIN Magazine, special issue. Fall 1979, p. 3) All women, but especially minority and working-class women, are subjected to systematic oppression. The drive to control our reproductive rights is only one of the more visible aspects of a deliberate attack on an economically, politically and psychologically subordinate group. We think it is invidious that Mr. George chose to compare reproductive rights with the Holocaust. The acquiesence that legitimized genocide is categorically opposed to the careful and difficult process of deciding to have an abortion. A comparisonlof the two shows ignorance and a complete f ontempt for women's ability to think and feel. Not incidentally. Hitler was strongly opposed to abortion. To understand all facets of the political significance of anti-abortionism. we must recognize that it is an extremely effective weapon of the new conservatism. Consider the example of Frank Church. He was a liberal senator from Idaho and was targeted lor defeat, like many other liberals, by Right to Life political action committees. But Church was anti-choice. It is clear that conservatives are manipulating the emotional content of the abortion issue to serve their political ends. We agree with Mr. George that people must take responsible stands on moral issues. We believe that reproductive freedom is central to a morality which includes women. The right to decide when and whether to have children is part of a wider struggle, against increasing odds, to live our lives in peace and freedom. Woman-violence and forced pregnancy are closely connected with the violence which permeates our society, viz., the burgeoning arms race and the aggressive and racist foreign policy which the U.S. is pursuing. A truly responsible and moral person must take account of these connections. Alison Quin *B2 Victoria Behrman Former Coordinator, Rape Crisis Center Columbus, Ohio The Phoenix was unable to print all the pro-choice letters received this week. Agreement impossible To the Editor: The only agreement pro-choice and antichoice factions will ever reach is that they will never agree. The abortion question is a personal and moral decision for each individual to make. Women must have the freedom to make their own choice and no group should be allowed to impose it; personal moral code upon another. It is certainly Mr. George's right to live by his own moral code; however, it is not his right to impose it on others Marcia Schwassmann When life begins: personal beliefs... To the Editor In his recent article concerning abortion, Kent George speaks eloquently, yet says nothing. He introduces the idea that life "begins in the beginning" and goes on without justifying this statement in any way, assuming that it is some sort of obvious truth that the "beginning" is at conception. I found it mildly absurd that he could write such a powerful article, full of accusations and condemnations, and base it all on such shaky ground. I myself do not see conception as the point at which human life begins; therefore, when I talk of abortion I do not hide behind double-talk as Kent suggests. I honestly do not believe abortion to be murder and do not need to clear my conscience by means of obfuscation. The process of fertilization is fairly simple, takes a matter of minutes, and in rare cases of parthenogenesis is not even necessary for embryonic development to be initiated. Pregnancy, on the other hand, takes nine months and involves incredibly complex processes of cell division and differentiation and dependency on nutrients from the mother's blood and the warm, protective environment of her womb. Personally I find it ludicrous to say that pregnancy and fetal development do not distinguish life from non-life, yet the comparitively insignificant act of fertilization does. My own belief is that when the fetus can live independently of the mother without artificial support, it can be considered a living human being (I would like to mention *hat I find it ridiculous that the Right to Life movement protests against in vitro fertilization because it is "tampering with God", yet at the same time will argue that early term fetuses are alive because they can be kept alive by complex artificial means). In rebuttal to my argument as to when life begins, there are those who insist that fertilization marks the beginning of life because "that is the way it was meant to be", but when asked "meant by who", none can answer without referring to God. But all this is leading up to the real issue. By saying that life begins at conception, Kent is making an assertion based upon nothing but personal beliefs. Above I expressed my own opinion as to when I consider life to begin, but although I like to believe that it was well expressed and based upon reasonable-logic. I still will readily admit that it is just my opinion and no more than that. There are no truths in this issue, only beliefs, and I am against the imposition of personal beliefs upon others. Democracy stands threatened when groups with power begin to consider their opinions to be absolutes. The Right to Life movement is dangerous, as it seems to nurture this mode of thought. I also would like to mention that I was upset by Kent's references to the Holocaust. My grandfather and his older brother came to this country in the 1920's leaving behind their mother, father, younger sister, and many aunts, uncles and cousins: all of whom were exterminated by the Nazis during World War 11. They wereeducated, hard-working people full of humanity, and I resent Kent's equating the loss of those lives to the aborting of developing fetuses. Lee T. Leitner *B2 Choice still ours To the Editor: "Abortion: nothing less than murder," or, "When life begins: nothing more than opinion." The choice, at least for now, is still yours. i Marcia Cancian 'B4 .... and individual prerogatives by Shoshana Kerewsky viewpoint The word "abortionist" conjures images of an ill-lit back room, an unscrupulous internist, and a terrified, pregnant young woman, money in hand. Yes. This happens. But it happens alarn.ingly more often in a society which docs not provide legal abortions. No one is "pro-abortion," just as no one is "pro" any other operation: rather, we acknowledge that this operation is necessary and attempt to keep its practice as nontraumatic and as safe as possible. No one demands that women undergo what can be major surgery. We are pro-choice. We support the right to a safe, legal, inexpensive abortion if the woman in question decides herself And (hopefully) with the support of her doctor that an abortion is necessary. I can't make another woman's decisions for her. It's each woman's right and responsibility to consider her options before she decides whether or not to have an abo.-tion (and ideally, before she even has sex). Each woman must decide when she believes that life begins; that is the prerogative of the individual. It is not the place of a government or of religious institutions to whose beliefs a woman may not adhere to legislate her body, - By denying women access to responsible abortion, the so-called Moral Majority believes it will reverse the trend in which young women and men have sexual relationships earlier than their parents would like. This is the same motive which discourages easy access to birth control and courses in human sexuality for middle and high school students. This is a simplistic ideal. Go into Philadephia and walk down Market Street. Turn on your television and watch two preadolescents slide all over each other in thier Jordache-jeans. Look at advertising and p*rnography to see how they are linked. These are the messages children and young adults get about sex, much more explicitly than any course in sexuality, and much less responsibly. These are the messages which say sex is unrelated to emotion, birth control is unnecessary, rape is legitimate. The example of Prohibition should be with us as we consider the ramifications of the Freind-Cunningham package and the Human Life Amendment. Do we want black-market extortion and harrassment? Do we want to be racist by denying abortion to the poor? By not acting, we are already tacitly supporting the removal of abortion from Medicaid. Do we want ourselves, or our lovers, to have to bear an unwanted child because of condom or diaphragm failure? Because of rape? Incest? If a woman decides she needs an abortion, she has already made a difficult personal decision. Outlawing abortion will only make the decision more upsetting and render it less safe. I've never had an abortion and hope I'll never need one. But I cannot dismiss the issue because "it doesn't pertain to me." Every woman may need an ibortinn some day. for personal or medical reasons. You may call me an "abortionist," "antilife." or "baby-killer." But what shall I call you in return? "Woman-killer?" "Antichoice?" We are expending energy on namecalling that could be spent working on issues we agree upon: non-sexist, non-violent, non-promiscuous television, movies, and advertising: education to combat ignorance; a crack-down on p*rnography; an end to rape-culture. These are the actions winch will make us a society of responsible children and adults. As to abortion, I don't think I should make decisions for other people. I hope c>. >ie will decide that before-it's too late. October 2, 1981 The Phoenix 3 Letters

Over there Corks a' poppin' Father Timothy S. Healy, president of Georgetown University,has threatened to cancel commencement exercises at the university for the next three years "in order to cork the champagne bottles which dampened this year's ceremony," reported the Georgetown Hoya. Apparently displeased with the revelry that takes place during the graduation itself, Healy, in a letter to the University Board of Directors, complained that "shouting upper-middle class white kids, demonstrating their social status by spraying the landscape with champagne, make an image no one wants attached to this university. In this city and in this time, the whole performance is repulsive beyond any words I have to qualify it." The students, however, are not taking Healy seriously. Said Student Government President Steve Mardiks, "I doubt they would cancel graduation ceremonies. I think it's just a threat to keep students in line." Aid budget in the red The entering class at Carleton College this year received the highest number of financial aid awards ever given out by the college. The Carletonian reported last week. This factor, in addition to cufs in both state and federal student aid loans, has "momentarily pushed the financial aid budget in the red." The school's director of financial aid was not worried by this first imbalance of the budget but commented that the cost of running a small, private college is increasing. He believes institutions like Carleton "must be able to generate new sources of income that will keep them in business." Party music nixed A new policy at Williams College will prohibit live music at campus parties held on weekday nights, according to The Williams Record. "My feeling," said Dean Daniel O'Conner, "is that live music on weekday nights cannot be contained." The Greylock Daiquiri Party on September 10 was shut down at 11:30 pm because of complaints from neighbors. "I'm in favor of parties," the dean continued; "the thing that drives people bananas is the feeling that the thing isn't going to end." Students at faculty meetings Staning next month and for the first time ever at Bates College, six students will sit in regularly on faculty meetings, according to The Bates Student. Three students will be appointed by the Representative Assembly while the other three positions will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Students will not be able to vote at the meetings they attend, but they will be permitted to participate in discussion. The newly-adopted plan is the result of a student-faculty ad hoc committee formed to study the matter. The final decision was influenced by the fact that 13 out of 16 comparable colleges already had student participation, including Bowdoin and Colby. Requisites increased A curriculum reform committee at the University of Pittsburgh has submitted proposals that may increase foreign language writing and math requirements if they are adopted by the faculty this week. According to The Pitt News, requirements would include one year of a foreign language, a composition course and two math classes. In addition, a two-course sequence in a life or physical science would be required. "The proposal requirements ... are really displaced admissions requirements, since in the past we had already assumed that entering students already possessed these skills;" the committee reported. 'Assassins' played The College of William and Mary has finished this year's week-long game of "Assassins" The Flat Hat reported last week. Similar to the Swarthmore game, William and Mary's version requires that the "target" be alone or with one other when killed, in which case the killer takes on a new target and proceeds to the next victim. The weapons used were squirt guns and one clause made the target safe for 12 hours if he shot his assailant first in self-defense. Although the game is officially over only when all players but one have been killed, a sizeable, number of targets were still "alive" at the Post-Assassination Party. Several administrative officers joined in the fun but were killed early. Said one, "We were sitting ducks in our offices." 'No better major than classics' by Geoff Pigman New faculty profiles Joseph Patwell, a part-time instructor in the classics department last year, has returned to Swarthmore this fall as a fulltime assistant professor. Patwell brings with him a rich and varied past and its consequent unique perspective. "Anybody who takes only four years to get a B.A. has no character," Patwell quipped. He began his undergraduate education in 1961 and did not complete it for twelve years. Patwell entered Fordham University in New York as a freshman, where he spent a year. He then spent four years at a Jesuit seminary, during which time he had a great deal of practice speaking Latin. After leaving the seminary in 1966, Patwell spent four years in the army serving as a Polish translator. Commenting on his unusually broad knowledge of languages, he described himself as a "nearly native speaker of English." • Patwell went to the University of Pennsylvania in 1971 after leaving the army. There he completed his B.A. in 1973, his M.A. shortly thereafter, and his Ph.D. in December 1978. "1 could have gotten my Master's before my 8.A.," Patwell said wryly of the complicated sequence of his studies. He said the idea "appealed to my sense of the ridiculous, but not that much." Patwell then taught at the University of Pennsylvania for one year before coming to Swarthmore. His areas of interest and research are as varied as his background. In Greek, he is studying the particles, the "little words which indicate irony, amusem*nt, indignation." Patwell stressed that understanding particles is essential in appreciating colloquial Attic, the language of Plato. Readers of Plato need an understanding of colloquial Attic "to get the flavor" of his work. In Latin, Patwell has been researching Oscan and Umbrian, two ancient languages which coexisted in classical Italy with Latin. "I'm half Oscan," he noted, commenting further that both languages died out in the 2nd century A.D. "Are they all derived from the same source, from a common Italic ancestor?" Patwell is investigating this and other possibilities. He notes, "It's an interesting problem with no real solution." Patwell's linguistic interests extend to modern Italian dialects, such as Calabrese. He is intrigued by the possibility that these dialects "show some of the same features that distinguish Oscan from Latin." Discussing the value of classics in today's liberal arts education, Patwell stated that he "cant imagine a better major than classics for an undergraduate." Citing that classics encompasses the "great languages, great literature, philosophy, mathematics" and other essential disciplines, he nonetheless makes room for two areas of study outside of the realm ol classics. Students should take "English for Shakespeare, Italian for Dante," Patwell allowed, further emphasizing the value of the classical curriculum. He heartily endorsed Cardinal Newman's classical conception of the university. ■» Very pleased to be here, Patwell had high praise for Swarthmore. "Swarthmore is a traditional liberal arts school in an age of militant professionalism. I think it's great," he said. <n •?", —Kevin Hassan Assistant Professor of Chemistry Cecile Dalton 'Teaching like this... is certainly beneficial' by Susanna Stern Assistant Professor of Chemistry Cecile Dalton, now in her second of two semesters at Swarthmore, is finding almost all her time taken by the "exceptionally well qualified students." Dalton, temporarily replacing a professor on leave in the chemistry department, has had little time for involvement "with students and campus life in other than an academic basis." She has had minimal contact with students not in the chemistry department due to lack of time and the tendency of the department to be isolated from the general student population. Teaching like this is quite different from what I've done in the past and is certainly beneficial," Dalton commented, although she didn't specify particular advantages. Dalton's most recent position was at Bryn Mawr, where she worked with graduate students and did some research of her own research. Holding these and other temporary positions in various Local colleges and private industries in the past has allowed her to spend time with her family, which lives in this area. Dalton came here last January and taught a special, very advanced course in organic .chemistry. She reports "little establishing working relations with other members of the faculty as well as students." This year, Dalton noted, "there are more women in the chemistry department than men," which she says is extremely unusual.- After this semester, ©alton will seek an industrial position enabling her to conduct her own research, far from the burden of classes at Swarthmore. S'more welcomes classics scholar by Charles Barker "The Ancient Economy," a lecture presented on Sept. 23 by Russell Mieggs professor emeritus of Oxford College and Fellow of Balliol College—marked not only one of this semester's scholarly events but also the return of a long-time friend to Swarthmore. "Swarthmorc has been an important part of my life since I first came here 20 years ago,** said Mieggs, who has been visiting professor here four times. Warmly welcoming him back to Swarthmore, Helen North, chairman of the classics department, introduced him to an audience of over 80 in Bond. "It is a source of great pride to the classics department that he [Mieggs] is also known as Mieggs of Swarthmore," she said, praising Mieggs as one of the most eminent classics scholars. "He is a teacher of phenomenal renown and the author Of some of the most useful texts and articles.". After humorously remarking that his lecturing on the Roman economy was "very pretentious and slightly fraudulent," his not being as specialist in economic or political theory, Mieggs proceeded to demonstrate his vast familiarity with the details of ancient history. In his 90 minute talk, the renowned scholar, with almost no reference tc notes, used primary sources and a dramatic reading to show that the current tendency to see the Roman empire as "exploiting the poor for the sake of the rich" was inaccurate; moving back and forth from behind his lectern, Mieggs proposed that greater trade and opportunities for social mobility than previously supposed improved the situation of the lower classes. Reception of the lecture was generally enthusiastic."[The lecture] was incredible, just amazing," commented sophom*ore Tess Forte. "He [Mieggs] is not pretentious; he has as wealth of knowledge that he's at ease with. Reaction to "The Ancient Economy" echoed Miegg's popularity with the students when he served as visiting professor, three-time Cornell professor, commencement speaker, and honorary alumnus here. "I can think of no one who has so influenced the lives of all those who came in contact with him," said North. Mieggs's scholarship is also exceptional. This member of the British Academy, is author of the definitive texts Ostia and The Athenian Empire. The book on timber and its use in the ancient world that he was writing when last at Swarthmore will soon be published by the Oxford Press. 4 The Phoenix October 2. 1981

Foreign students discuss problems of living abroad by Mark Reynolds The main topic of discussion at last Friday's Student Life Committee meeting was the life of foreign students on campus, and included reports from Foreign Student Advisor Gloria Evans and various students from abroad. According to Evans, 48 students, nearly four percent of the college community, fall into this category, representing 25 different countries. Evans described this group as "gusty," mentioning the financial problems, years from home and language difficulties that are part of going to school in a foreign country. Attending a high-tuition school far away from home can create massive financial troubles. To counteract this problem, Swarthmore provides foreign students with $162,895 in financial aid grants. This is an average of $7OOO for each of the 24 students involved. Twenty-two of the 48 foreign students take on loans totaling $283,000. Every package includes $750 in work study. Dean of Admission Robert Banproudly explained that Swarthmore gives a great deal more aid to foreign students than most schools, and has not reduced this aid despite inflation. Even so, Barr believes money is the key element in discouraging foreign students from attending Swarthmore, noting, "Almost everyone from abroad needs substantial help." Barr added he did not believe the College will "get much beyond [the present level of foreign students] in the forseeable future." Many foreign students also are in the United States on short-term visas, which creates further problems; as Evans put it, "At some point the government simply tells them to 'go home.' " Because they are not citizens, the government will not allow students from abroad to work off campus without special permission. Obtaining this permission is difficult because on entering the U.S., students must swear they have enough money to provide for their stay. Most also cannot afford to go home during the summer, so to make money, they must remain on campus if they are to work. Housing during the summer and other vacations is a major problem because the college closes its dormitories. Though many other foreign students remain at Swarthmore during vacation, Cecilia Alailima explained that living away from one's friends when so few students are around can be a very isolating experience. Alailima, who along with other foreign students spoke at the SLC meeting, propsed that the College open Ashton House during the summer to provide a home and community for such students. She noted the students would be willing to pay the extra cost for keeping the building open. Another major problem found by international students is feelings of isolation and culture shock. Few have fellow students with the same cultural background at Swarthmore. In addition, many foreign students fear they will have to adapt to American culture. This may mean, as Alailima put it, "giving up a number of personal cultural priorities." Mary Spayne explained foreign students are trapped between trying to preserve their cultural backgrounds and at the same time trying not to make it "sound like a rejection of American values." Some of the international students present at the meeting found Swarthmore students less than receptive. Pepe Dugal recalled having American students ask him harshly, "Why didn't you stay in your own country?" and "Why do you take our scholarship money?" Constantine Tsimas described his 3 1/4 years here as "a negative experience." The meeting, however, revealed many of these negative experiences stem from a culture clash similar to that undergone of American students abroad. Though he was received unkindly at first, Dugal notes some of the students who originally questioned him with such predjudiced views are now his closest friends. Spayne found she has been accepted easily and that culture, not predjudice, is the main reason for isolation. In fact, as Alailima explained, "At times, students arc more receptive just because we are foreign." Language does not seem to be a major barrier for most students. Many are well-trained in English, and those who are not can take a one-credit course in English for foreign students. All international students are encouraged to consult Evans for help with papers or applications. •iUH* imOum***. —Leslie Moffat Foreign Student Advisor Gloria Evans. Students contest appointments to committees in first SC meeting by Sheila Joshi Student Council opened its first meeting of the semester last Sunday with discussion of the recent student appointments to campus committees. Three students who had not been selected for the positions to which they applied attended the meeting to contest the decisions and were rebutted by the members of the Appointments Committee. Anna Orgera, representing the Movie Committee, presented the first case. Orgera was chairman last year and has been reappointed. She objected to the rejection of Russell Robbins who also had previously been a member. "Russell has always acted wisely on Movie Committee. He has always forwarded diversity ... and he has had involvement with every aspect of its work," asserted Orgera. Orgera pointed out that Robbins, in his last term, was unanimously elected treasurer, a responsible position that involves the handling of a 516,000 budget. Accordingly, Orgera asked that an extra position be added to the committee just for this semester. Appointments Committee .member Delaney's only rebuttal to this was "not that we thought Russ wasn't a good candidate" but rather that "we thought there might be a need for new blood." SC voted 10-2 with one abstention that Robbins should be admitted to the Committee as an extra for one semester. Delaney expressed concern over a possible precedent being set of committees perpetuating themselves by choosing their own members.'' Clare Woodman contested the next decision on her own 'behalf. Woodman has spent one year on the Property Committee, which includes 14 Board members, two faculty representatives, and two students. She reapplied this year for the open two year position, along with four others, none of whom were appointed. A second round of interviews and decisions will take place in about a week, but Woodman questioned why she had not been selected in view of her previous experience. She pointed out that she had "been involved in a lot of projects: Mary Lyon, the Blue Route, and Parrish which I'm kind of stuck in the middle of." Delaney explained the dearth of appointments. "We felt that no applicant really distinguished himself over the others. We had no consensus ... We had hoped to have a second round to break the deadlock that had developed." Mary Blumenthal furthered this idea by commenting that Woodman should not necessarily have an edge over the other applicants just because she had contested and they hadn't, because, in fact, they had been told there would be a second round and that contestation was not necessary. Nonetheless, acting on Robert Ottenstein's motion to appoint Woodman on the spot, an SC vote decided in her favor with two opposed and one abstention. The last contestation came front Hannah Brown who was turned down for the Lang Visiting Professor Committee. Brown felt she had been dealt with unfairly. "They asked me questions that had been in my application so I don't think they read my application ... They didn't seem to know what area or field the professorship would be in." Delaney responded, "We said it was in the social sciences ... We generally ask why you want to be in this committee—it's an openended question that allows applicants to feel they are not being put on'the spot. One of her ideas was to switch professors off a course they had been teaching for a long time in an effort to get a fresher viewpoint. We thought this would be a destructive force on the Lang committee [as it is] a bad use of tenured professors." Delaney reminded SC that "basically, when we had only as many applicants as there were positions, we had to have a good reason to turn someone down." Franz Paasche motioned to uphold Appointments Committee's decision with the stipulation that there be second round of interviews. His motion was carried with all in favor and one abstention. The only other business of the evening was the appointment and approval of John Walsh as SC vice president and the decision to apply $34 from miscellaneous funds to hire Chris DeMoulin as SC secretary. SC still has no treasurer. Dickerson presents projects to SLC by Mark Reynolds In addition to the main item on its agenda, foreign student life (see separate article), at its meeting last Friday the Student Life Committee of the Board of Managers discussed the dean's office's special projects, student health, services, campus security and admissions. Dean Janet Dickerson explained the first project of her new administration is a plan for "encouraging people to get to know others outside of their cliques; to encourage diversity." To meet this goal, a workshop was set up for resident assistants to teach them how groups are stereotyped and how to help get different groups together. The format at the deans' meetings has been changed to include discussion of diversity and how to encourage students not to retreat Into isolating groups. Finally, Dickerson hopes to open a part of Sharpies and possibly the Student Council Room in Tarble to make these areas social centers and bring people together. "These might become learning experiences that a classroom can't provide," Dickerson remarked. Addressing the ballot-stuffing in the Student Council Elections two weeks ago, Dickerson said, "There is a time for some leadership and support from some of us involved closely with students," and concluded, "Unfortunately, I think it was a prank, a scheme to do something, but not to disrupt the process." The dean also suggested a public apology by the offenders would be in order. Finally, Dickerson noted that both a committee on physical education and athletics and a committee on women's concerns have been established. Dean of Admissions Robert Barr brought SLC up to date on the present admissions situation, noting his satisfaction that more minority students applied and were accepted into the class of 1985. However, Barr did note some troubles. The 15 percent increasein the cost of a Swarthmore education brought with it a 28 percent increase in financial aid. Barr wondered if such increases in tuition were viable. Expressing disappointment in the winter early decision process, Barr stated that too many people "suddenly fall in love with Swarthmore" after they are rejected by Ivy League schools, but don't apply before then, and noted that too many unqualified people apply for winter early decision. "I really do have to question whether it is worth the time and effort in my office for winter evaluation," Barr said, adding he will keep the winter early decision program in place for one more year. Finally, Barr reported, applications from the Mountain and Southwest areas of the country were very low. Travel expenses are the major culprit, Barr said: "Well just have to face the reality that we might have to become a much more regional institution that any of us would like." Reporting on the Department of Security and Safety Services, direcor Jim Lyons mentioned the completion of first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for all security personnel and the move of the security desk from Parrish to Parrish Annex (where the switchboard is located). The latter was implemented to consolidate and "make the best use of communications personnel." In response to a question by SIX member Deborah Weiner, Lyons said the lack of lighting outside Mertz would be solved once walkways were laid out. Linda Echols, the new director and head nurse of Worth Health Center, also gave a brief report on the services provided by the Center. Four full-time nurses and five part-time nurses are employed, while two physicians, one gynecologist and one consultant are available. Dean Janet Dickerson October 2, 1981 The Phoenix 5

Tonight 'throw caution to the wind' by Evan Levine Philadelphia and the surrounding areas offer an amazing array of entertaining ways to spend an evening; eliminating the place which features a "Miss Sensuous Bull Riding Contest," a wide variety still remains. The following list is merely a random sampling of tantalizing places to frequent in Philadelphia on those devilmay-care evenings when you throw caution to the wind with total abandon and run away to play. For those of you,'' with repressed desires to be sheiks (or chic), The Middle East at 126 Chestnut Street (922-1003) is probably a place you should check out. The featured entertainment consists of dancing girls and live music Monday-Saturday, from 7:30 p.m.-2 a.m.; on Wednesdays, male dancers waving swords take over at 8:30 and 10:30. Although there is a minimum at the tables, there is no cover charge at the bar. Beyond all doubt, however, the main attraction has to be the life-size . ceramic camel. Two drinks and we bet you'll try to ride it across the Sahara. As long as you're on Chestnut Street, sling on your jodpuhrs and dash over to Filly's Saloon (237 Chestnut Street) and pretend you're John Travolta. If the outfit alone doesn't do it for you, maybe the mechanical bull and free Western dance lessons Tuesday nights will. If you're not in the mood to be John Travolta, be yourself, listen to the bands, and eat Mexican food. There's no cover charge Monday nights; the rest of the week the price ranges from $l-3. Call 925- 0446 for details and the best place to get your spurs cleaned. If you just want music without having to endure rooms with themes, vaguely reminiscent of your birthday party when you were five, City Lights and The Bijou Cafe both offer live music without the frills. City Lights (212 Walnut Street, 627-7680) splendid in pink neon, is * apparently one of the newest "in" places to be. For good, loud, upbeat jazz Wednesday- Saturday, this is the place to be. Be sure to wear your black outfit so you look dramatic under those pink lights. The Bijou Cafe (1409 Lombart Street, 735-4444) features headline entertainers such as Janis lan, and also up and coming talent in a small, cabaret style setting. If you feel like dressing up and being elegant, Horizons (16th and Race Street, 448-2000), the rooftop room of the Franklin Plaza Hotel, is the place to do it. Lounge seductively against the rose and black background or dance (ballroom) to live bands. This is a good place to cultivate an accent and a mysterious royal Hungarian ancestry. For a complete change of pace, try The Comedy Works at 126 Chestnut. Wednesday night, for the very brave or the very bored, amateurs take the stage. Thursday's feature is "Best of Philly"; Friday and Saturday professionals appear; occasionally well known entertainers drop in. _ „ Electric Light Orchestra brings its high voltage sound to the Spectrum tonight at ft 00. Escaping from Sharples without going bankrupt by Martha Reilly So, you're headed into town to catch the Friday afternoon, Philadelphia Orchestra concert, and you want to feed your body as well as your soul. Or you've planned a walking tour of the historical district, but exercise always makes you hungry. Then again, you may be on your way to a symposium at the University of Pennsylvania and still the same question arises: where can I have lunch or dinner, and where can I get it without going into another student loan? Here is the best cuisine Philadelphia has to offer for ten dollars or (in most cases) much less. Philadelphia, as you may have gathered, is a sizeable town, so choosing an eatery may depend largely on your destination. If you're heading to the Academy of Music, the Shubert Theatre Chestnut Street movie houses, or anywhere else in Center City, you will have the widest variety of restaurants imaginable to choose from. For lunch in a country French atmosphere you can't do much better than Bon Appetit (213 S. 17th St., 546- 8059). This airy and comfortable cafe, situated on the second floor of a cookery shop, serves up simple French-style salads, sandwiches, cheeses and deadly desserts to the ultra-chic, the truly artistic, and anyone aspiring towards either. In the mood for more exotic fare? Kebab (1708 Chancellor St., a small street between Walnut and Locust, 732-5733), one of the smallest restaurants it has ever been my pleasure to enter, offers specialties from the Middle East, including the everpopular falafel, baklava and of course various kinds of kebab. Don't let the side-street location and the small size throw you off; this is no greasy spoon, and the decor is in its odd way elegant enough for a real occasion. A restaurant of a truly different sort awaits you on tiny Sansom Street. Taylor's Country Store (1609 Sansom St., 543-7627) is without peer in the- Philadelphia restaurant World; there's just no place like this eatery cum art gallery cum antique shop. The antiques and art are not for sale; Anita Taylor collects them. Take your pick of the unique sandwiches out onto the little front porch or up to the top floors. If you're so inclined. ask Charlit for the loan of one of his books (Saroyan is a particular favorite). For all you bakery freaks out there, Bread and Company (16th and Walnut St., 545-4430) boasts a menu including soups and quiches, but the bread and pastries are the real stars here. The round Peasant Black loaf and the brioche are particularly good. If business has been slow that day they may offer two-for one specials in the early evening. Dinner in Center City is no less varied. More Than Just Ice Cream Ltd. (1141 Pine St., 574- 0586) is the darling of students and residents of Antique Row alike for its inexpensive American food, including burgers, soups and salads. Desserts, made from scratch on the premises, include pumpkin pie and a deep-dish apple pie a la mode that is three meals in itself. To those in the market for something a little less ordinary, and perhaps a little more of a gamble, and definitely more of an expense, The Restaurant (2129 Walnut St., 561-3649) serves the newest of the nouvelle cuisines. Run by the students of Philly's now-famous Restaurant School, this spot offers a complete top-of-theline fixed-price dinner for $8.50. Dining here is an evening in itself. Call for information on reservations and current specialties, since the menu changes regularly to keep up with the students' work. There's more than food on the menu at Onassis (1735 Sansom, 568-6960), a Greek establishment that's just as authentic but not nearly as expensive as its name. Live bouzouki and santour music are on tap' every Friday and Saturday after 9:00. The varied menu includes a good selection of vegetarian entrees. Eastward, in Olde City and Society Hill, and on South Street, the dining scene is no less suspicious. Southern foods, including hush puppies, jambalaya and Louisiana fried chicken are on the bill of fare at The Sky's the Limit (257 S. 10th St., 925-7545). Two honest-togoodness southerners own the place, lavishing loving care on everything, from the delicious meals to the decor of straw mats and every sort of kite imaginable. Right on Independence Mall, The Bourse (21 S. sth St., 625- 0300) is home to over ten restaurants sharing a common dining area. You and your friends can take your pick of Greek souvlaki, deli fare at Bain's, every flavor of cheesecake under the sun at Katy's, traditional Indian dishes at Nandi's, as well as ice cream, baked potatoes with a choice of topping, cheesesteaks, pastries, and salads. Nearby and well-known for inexpensive meals is Chinatown. Since most Swarthmore students have already settled on a favorite Chinese restaurant, only two recently-opened spots are mentioned here. China Flower (220 N. 10th St., 922-8857) is smaller and even cheaper than most of its neighbors, but their menu is almost completely free of tiresomely Americanized dishes, concentrating instead on forays into authentic and varied regional cuisines. Well-beloved of vegetarians is the South East (1000 Arch, St. 629-1888), where soy products receive the same treatments usually reserved for r k at dishes. They even have a meatless version of barbecued spare ribs, alo ig with meatless, egg rolls, moo sui pork and Hunan chicken. Those who care about such things have jnformed me, in tones of reverence and gratitude, that there is even a seperate set of utensils and preparation area for vegetarian dishes. Oriental food of a spicier strain is available down on South- Street at the Bangkok House (117 South Street, 925-0655). Appreciation of this tiny restaurant requires an adventuresome spirit, a love of genuinely hot flavor, and patience with often exasperating service, but those who persist are more than rewarded. Each dish is a complex blend of fresh foodstuffs and traditional spices; the kitchen staff can make many of them milder or hotter on request. , Further along South is one of the few remaining establishments of the neighborhood's hippie heyday, the Copacabana. The Copa doesn't publish its address, and the phone is unlisted, but they do serve the wildest blender drinks north of Cuba, such as an ice-cream pina colada; and their own Roseanna Bananadanna. You can find this wonderfulness right next to the Palace Theatre (once TLA). Seafood freaks come into their own about four blocks past South on Second at Walt's-King of Crab (8145.2nd St.. 339-9124). Most nights there's a wait to get inside, but the generous portions of fresh crabs and mussels and the low prices are well worth the trouble. A very special mention is due Levis' Hot Dogs (507 S. 6th St., 627-2354), a real Philadelphia institution, serving all-beef franks and fresh crab cakes. Middle-aged business men raised in South Philly, otherwise considered quite sound of mind, have been known to travel hundreds of miles to visit Levis. When near the University of Pennsylvania at lunch time, eat as the cognoscenti do at Le Bus, a food truck parked at 34th and Sansom Sts., just outside the law library. From the Best of Philly Mellow Hoagie to the Insane Fruit Salad, the taste is pure heaven, the portion generous and the price reasonable. The green in front of Penn's College Hall, one block south, is particularly pleasant for Le Bus picnics. » Also at Penn, the Christian Association Eatery (3601 Locust St., 386-1530) offers wholewheat pizza, a salad bar, sandwiches and fresh baked goods. The secret to successful dining here is selectivity, since on occasion a certain dish will be offered experimentally, and like' all experiment, may fail miserably. Still, the amazingly low prices and the possibility of dining under the trees on Locust Walk in good weather, make the Eatery worth a try. Even further west at the Warehouse (4040 Locust Street), three restaurants share an airy, plant-filled .indoor courtyard, although they do have separate seating. Saladalley (349-7644) boasts the salad bar to end all salad bars, along with soups and sinful desserts. Entrees On Trays focuses on nouvelle-inspired cuisine (222-5897); their chef was formerly of the Commissary, and it snows. Like the Commissary, Entrees On Trays gives customers their choice of Cafeteria or table service. A branch of the justly-praised Hillary's (222-7170) ice cream shops complete the Warehouse trio, serving the same incredible creations that have made their Chestnut and South Street branches so popular. Live classical and jazz piano complete the picture at the Warehouse during evening hours.

American realism comes to life by Andrea Packard Philadelphia Museums Philadelphia's museums will swallow you if you let them. Most offer, for a dollar or less, rich and varied collections of interest to both the casual observer and the scholar. Perhaps the most exciting new exhibit in Philadelphia is just four blocks from Penn Center at the Pennsylvania Academy of the- Fine Arts. This historical landmark, at the corner of Broad and Cherry Streets, is the oldest art museum and school in America. The museum has collected and exhibited contemporary American art since 1805. its current special exhibition, "Contemporary American Realism since 1960,"is consistent with the Academy's involvement in the realist tradition. This major exhibition reflects the variety and striking vitality of contemporary American Realism and the cohesive organization and valuable resources provided by Philadelphia's art museums. For those uncertain of reality, the exhibition provides no definitive answer or approach but a broad range and depth of personal vision. Contemporary realist art, influenced by both traditional art and the avant garde and modernist styles of the recent past, dispfays a diversity of technique, medium, and subject. The multiplicity of human experience is reflected by the organization of 152 works into groups of portraits, landscapes, still lifes and narrative compositions. Among the 104 artists represented are such noted persons as Andrew Wyeth, Chuck Close, Alex Katz and George Segal. Different approaches presented are striking, disturbing, beautiful and at times ludicrous. Slices of Wonder bread, fingered and nibbled at to varying degrees, seem bleached but edible. They are carved to the crumb by Jud Nelson in Italian statuary marble. In contrast, Andrew Wyeth's detailed watercolor "Wet Spring" conveys a quiet composure and blending of subtle lines. This work differs from the striking interplay of contrasting texture, sharply delineated objects, and forceful color in Audrey Flack's narrative composition, "World War II (April, 1945)." In the words of Frank Goodyear, Jr., curator of the exhibition, and author of the book Contemporary American Realism Since 7960, "Contemporary Realism ... leaves the painter or sculptor free to follow his individual vision, allowing a multitude of personal choices." An array of activities are being presented in conjunction with the exhibit.

In addition, following Thursday matinees and Friday showings, "afterperformance discussion series" with directors, playwrights and company members are offered. Plays and Players on 1714 Delaney St. also presents four plays, beginning Oct. 22 with Oscar Wilde's briliant comedy "The Importance of Being Earnest," but the theater's schedule includes a mystery as well as a "touching and humorous" selection. Tickets are $5-6 for students. Philadelphia Drama Guild at 220 S. 16th St. shows "Of Mice and Men" beginning Oct. 15; the rest of its season is premiere plays. Hedgerow Theatre advertises its first play, "Summer of the 17th Doll" (beginning Oct. 9), as the "first play in the history of Australian Theatre to win for itself an international reputation and esteem." The plays here range from comedy to mystery, and tickets are relatively lowpriced: $4 Thursday nights, $5 Friday nights and $6 Saturday nights with $1 off for students. Theatre Center Philadelphia offers playwright workshops on Tuesday nights at 8; plays are stage read and then discussed. The season begins Oct 22 with "Symphony Pastoral"; tickets are $7 during the week and $8 on Saturdays but students get $1 off. Film Philadelphia offers a variety of repertory movie theaters that show films that were very popular on first showing or foreign films that have won great acclaim. "Where do all the hippies meet?" asks the TLA ad. Once known as "TLA at the Tower" and soon to be known as "Cinema at the Tower," this movie house at 69th St. and Ludlow has placed a "near total emphasis on rock and roll related films," especially from the past ten years. Every Wednesday and Thursday, nights are reserved for Punk/New Wave movies, while the weekends will feature "Classic rock" movies. Their program contains "offerings which examine the moods and mores of the rock culture, and the impact the music possesses." The movies run Wednesday through Sunday, and admission for students with IDs is $3 (with late show admission $1.93). International Cinema on 3701 Chestnut shows foreign films exclusively. It offers a "visiting filmmaker's program" in which filmmakers present and discuss noteworthy films and explore important issues of their art. These discussions are free and open to the public, requiring only pre-registration. Presently they are featuring an in-depth look at Polish cinema. Best of all, their tickets are only $2.50 Wednesday through Saturday (no movies Sun.-Tues.) and $1 for Friday matinees. Walnut Mall Cinema at 3925 Walnut offers double- features every day—two related movies. The movies run for half a week and are usually either foreign films or older, popular American films. The Cinema has two James Bond double features for all of his fans. Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of this theater is the showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show every Friday and Saturday night at midnight, as well as the late shows for $1.93 on Friday and Saturday nights, which begin at 11:30. The Walnut Street Theatre at 825 Walnut runs many series, including an Audrey Hepburn tribute and a British film series. Also showing will be "Super Cinema"—movies that are seldom shown because of their length but are considered superb. Another noteworthy feature is the "Stage to Screen"—l 6 movie* that began as plays and now are movies. Finally, the theater advertises eight German Renaissance films from Weimar days to the present. Museum of Art 'world class' by Steve Cain First week: we unpack, meet new people, and lie in the sun a lot. Second week: we begin our classes, meet more people, and still lie in the sun. Third week: we start getting used to it. But by the fourth week, we've settled in, gotten used to our classes, have met everyone, and are tired of lying in the sun. We get bored and begin to ask, just what the hell is there to do around here anyway? Well, if by the fourth week you still have not yet gotten to Philadelphia, then you should, if for no other reason then for your mental health. One of the best things to do in Philly is to tour the Museum of Art. Philadelphia's Museum of Art is a world class museum. It is the third largest in the United States and houses a collection of art that touches upon almost every important period of art in history. - Whether you like Renaissance, Impressionism, Modern, or whatever else, you can find it here. The Impressionist collection is truly outstanding, as are the period rooms that have relocated entire temples, courtyards, chapels and,even a very posh English tea room. Also not to be missed is all of the art, mostly on the lower floors, that has in one way or another come out of Philadelphia. There are large and beautiful collections of colonial artifacts, Quaker art, and a fine collection of Philadelphia's nineteenth century artist Thomas Eakins, who is most famous for his paintings of boatracing on the Schuykill. Finally, the museum has excellent temporary exhibits. This month's exhibits include a knockout collection of eighteenth century paintings of Venice by such artists as Canaletto and Guardi, a collection of European prints, photographs by Timothy O'Sullivan, and later this month, a collection of England's nineteenth century artist Sir Edwin Landeer. So the next time you think that Swarthmore is just a little too green, take the train to Philly and walk the Parkway. The Philadelphia Museum of Art' at 26th Street and the Parkway (763-8100) is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission for students with valid ID is $l.

Murder on the Orient Express Murder on the Orient Express (1974), directed by Sidney Lumet (Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, The Wiz) is the best screen adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel since Rene Clair's 1939 version of And Then There Were None. The glittering all-star cast is headed by Albert Finney, performing in fine style as the incisive, oily-haired French (oops—I mean Belgian) detective Hercule Poirot. The other famous actors who shine in the typically quirky Christie character parts are Ingrid Bergman, Lauren Bacall, John Cielgud, Sean Connery, Vanessa Redgrave, Anthony Perkins, Jacqueline Bisset, and Michael York. The "Orient Express" is of course a luxury train of the '3os, and the glamorous train interiors and outrageous period costumes add to the film's escapist joys. Moreover, Murder on the Orient Express is quite nonviolent for a murder mystery, and those who have been baffled by Hitchco*ck's films should take pleasure in the neat simplicity of the ending. —fill Ottenberg Medium Cool Widely acknowledged as one of the most important films of the 19605, Haskell Wexler's Medium Cool (1969) combines documentary and fiction film and improves on both. Set in Chicago during the 1968 Democratic National Convention, the story concerns a monomaniacal TV cameraman (Robert Forster) who is barely able to distinguish between film and fact He awakens to reality through the violence of the 1968 Chicago riots and ultimately with the help of Verna Bloom. Wexler fuses real riot footage with his own story film, underscoring the hero's confusion and creating an incisive essay on the relationship between media and politics.

SPOTLIGHT Romeo Void tonight in Tarble This evening Romeo Void comes to Tarble Social Center. From San Francisco, Romeo Void has garnered critical acclaim in Rolling Stone, Creem, New Music Express and Melody Maker as one of the best new bands of 1961. Their music is haunting—melodic bass lines weave in and out of crisp guitar riffs and driving drums. On top of this sax lines and vocals float as if suspended from above. Their music is danceable and intelligent. Romeo Void should take the stage at 11:00 with dance music before and after provided by the WSRN Dance Party. The entire evening begins at 10:00 and is open only to Swarth more College students and their guests. Penn Contemporary Players The Penn Contemporary Players, under the direction of Richard Wernick of the University of Pennsylvania, will present a free concert this Sunday, October 4th at 8:15 pm in Lang.

Rounding out the program will be a performance of Trio for clarinet, cello and piano by Gerald Levinson of Swarthmore's Department of Music. —Bruce Vernarde Alec Guiness double feature Great Expectations David Lean directed this splendid adaptation of the Dickens novel, considered by most to be the best of the Dickens films. This movie stars Alec Guiness and"John Mill. I always feel a pang when the curtains are ripped down and sunlight goes streaming through the windows. —Lou Haber Perfect Polyester Alec Cuiness is at his comic best in The Man in the White Suit. He plays an obsessed inventor who struggles over all sorts of gurgling, steaming experimental apparatus. His goal is to invent the perfect polyester—a cloth that never wears out or gets dirty. This classic film was directed by Alexander MacKendric and also stars Joan Greenwood. Sit back and laugh at capitalism for a change. —Lou Haber They've got their act together by Michael Radfloff As I was leaving I'm Getting My Act Together And Taking It On The Road at the Walnut St, Theater, I overheard two middle aged couples talking about the show. Both women said they loved the show and wanted to see it again. Both men said if they hurried home they might still be able to see the end of the Eagles' game. Some people never change. . Having the courage to change, however, is what this wonderful musical-comedy is all about. On the event of her 39th birthday, Heather (Teri Ralston) is rehearsing her brand-new nightclub act. She has scrapped her old act of sickly sweet love songs, and put together a dynamic mixture of songs and skits taking an irreverent look at how men and women struggle to achieve "healthy, constructive relationships." The plot revolves around -the conflict between Heather and her manager (Mark Hutter), who is skeptical about the audience appeal of this fiery, liberated woman. The songwriting team of Gretchen Cryer and Nancy Ford who wrote the book, music and lyrics to Getting My Act Together may not be familiar to even the most avid theatergoers. Their collaboration, however, began over 25 years ago, writing musicals in college. Before Getting My Act Together, their most dynamic and most successful work to date, they had written Now Is The Time For All Good Men, The Last Sweet Days of Isaac, and Shelter, all critically acclaimed. Through the music- Heather's natural expression of her quest for self-discovery and need for independence—we are able to piece together fragments of her life from childhood, through adolescence, marriage and divorce to the present. Getting My Act Together is atypical to most of the present Broadway fare. Broadway has since returned to the trend of lavish, expensive extravaganzas. In its original production at the Public Theater in New York City (home of Hair, Two Gentlemen of Verona and A Chorus Line), it was put together quickly and «Mih practically no money at all. In the New York production, every feature of the show was scaled to the size of the theater and the proximity of the audience. In the cavernous Walnut St. Theater, much of the evening's intimacy is lost. However, the performances by Teri Ralston (who starred in the original Broadway productions of Company and A Little Night Music) and Mark Hutter more than compensate, and the music as performed by the back-up band in Heather's act, "The Liberated Man's Band Plus Two" is terrific. This is definitely the one show this season you shouldn't miss. The Walnut St. Theater has a special student discount policy. Any tickets still available onehalf hour before any performance may be purchased by students with a student ID for half the box-office price. In addition, after every Wednesday evening performance, the cast comes out on stage to speak to the audience and answer any questions.

Live! from Swarthmore, it's... by Kristen Kahn The Minnesota-based public radio show "Prairie Home Companion," hosted by humoristwriter Garrison Keillor, will tape a broadcast Tuesday, Oct. 13 from Clothier. "Prairie Home Companion" is a contemporary version of the radiovariety show; broadcasts began in 1974, when the show aired from St. Paul, Minn, before an audience of about 20. It now has one of Minnesota public radio's biggest audiences and has, since May, 1980, transmitted its unique blend of music and humor nation-wide to over US stations. A two-hour weekly program, "Prairie Home Companion" offers such diverse music types as opera, jazz, bluegrass, ethnic and Western swing. Public radio stations carrying the Saturday night show range from Panama City, Fla. to Kodiak, Alaska to Los Angeles, Calif. World Theatre in St. Paul where "Prairie Home Companion" tapings consistently attract more than the theater's 650-seat capacity and draw "standing room only" crowds. Funding for the program is provided by a grant from Car gill, Inc. and the National Endowment for the Arts. During a typical broadcast, audiences may hear the music of a barbershop quartet, a Scandanavian band or a jazz ensemble. Interspersed throughout each program are tales of Lake Wobegon, Keillor's fictional hometown, and commercials for bogus sponsors such as Earl's "As You Like It" barbershop. This unorthodox approach to entertainment has won the "Prairie Home Companion" both critical and popular acclaim: the show received the 1980 George Peabody award in recognition of its distinguished and meritorious service to the public, the third Pea body award in four years for Minnesota Public Radio. Keillor's show leaves St. Paul annually for two brief tours; this year the "Companion" is broadcasting from Swarthmore. Tuesday night's program will feature the Butch Thompson Trio; the show's "house band" which plays a mix of dixieland and jazz; singer-songwriter Priscilla Herdman (best known for setting Australian poet Henry Lawson's works to music); Appalachianstyle banjo player Bob Cardin, who is also programming producer for WUHY (Philadelphia's "Prairie Home Companion" station); Mick Moloney, the American authority on traditional Irish music; and Irish violinist Eugene O'Donnell. Keillor will coordinate the program, providing his weekly reports in addition to the musical entertainment. A native Minnesotan, Keillor has been working with radio since his undergraduate days at the University of Minnesota. He tapes a weekday morning show in addition to "Prairie Home Companion" and contributes regularly to The New Yorker and The Minnesota Tribune among others. This fall, Athenaeum Press is releasing a collection of his previously published works. Keillor decided to begin the "Prairie Home Companion" because he feels broadcasting live gives a radio show "excitement above and beyond the music," and he views the program as a "connection to distant places." His novel approach, notably the encouragement of audience participation during a broadcast, has excited a great deal of comment; stations carrying "Prairie Home Companion" often report getting more mail on it than any other program, and articles on the show have appeared during the last six months in The Wall Street Journal, Washington Star &n<\ The Los Angeles Times, among others. Tickets for Tuesday night's broadcast will be available at the Business Office beginning this afternoon, and through Oct. 6. The number of tickets offered at the college rate (S2.SO for students, faculty, administration and staff) is limited. The number of tickets each individual may purchase is limited to ensure all those interested will have a chance at seats at the reduced rate. Tickets for the general public are $B. "Some students have expressed concern about the $2.50 ticket price," commented Lorna Shurkin director of information services, "but it is important that students understand why the administration broke with its longstanding policy of having free admission to all on-campus entertainment." "Whenever 'Prairie Home Companion' travels to another city ," Shurkin continued, "they always charge admission—s4 to students, and $8 to the general public—to pay for expenses, airfare, etc. This is what they wanted to do here. However, the senior staff was reluctant to charge anything at all." Eventually the senior staff agreed to a S2.SO admission (a donation to non-profit public radio) for two reasons. "Firstly, this is an extraordinary one-time event which will be a lot of fun and which they didn't want to pass up, added Shurkin, "and second, it gives the college wonderful exposure nationally. However this is not setting a precedent." • WSRN, which sporadically is broadcasting pieces of old "Prairie Home Companion" shows, will hold a wine and cheese, reception for tfle program's cast after the performance. "Prairie Home Companion" can be heard every Saturday 6-8 p.m. on WUHY (91 FM). The Butch Thompson Trio, "Prairie Home Companion's* house band. New fall TV shows by Patience Merriman Swarthmore farce Last year, an actors' strike delayed the premiere of the fall television season, and America's videophiles languished through reruns on top of reruns. We had to wait two whole months to find out who plugged J.R. We lived in constant anxiety lest Charlie hire and fire yet another angel before we could even see her. Questions plagued us: had the Little House on the Prairie gone condo? Was Ponch starting to look good to Jon? Did the Duke boys trade in the General Lee for a Datsun? This year, thanks to a generous grant from Swarthmore alumnus Eugene Lang, a closed-circuit television station is being established on campus to provide the college with quality programming. President Friend, who is acting station manager of the new network, spoke to reporters in the Parrish Hall basem*nt studios of the infant station. "It is common knowledge," said Friend, "that the purpose of television is to turn brains to mush. Our programming will reflect this commitment, with one crucial modification. It is our goal to turn Swarthmore brains not into common mush, but into Quaker 100% Natural Cereal with Raisins and Spice. This is a wholesome substance, and doesn't get soggy in milk." Brave words, I thought. But the critical question remains. Will Mikey like it? "I think Mikey will be very pleased," asserted the new station manager. "For one thing, our children's programming is firstrate, and combines solid education with realism. Our' Mister Codgers' and 'Sesame Sewer' shows look very promising. And our game shows, 'Let's Write a Thesis' and 'To Footnote The Truth' are family entertainment for all ages." I was able to coax a schedule out of the neophyte mogul, and I'm pleased to be able to give you a glimpse of the new fall line-up of shows. Swarthmoreans will be delighted to discover that their very unique and serious tastes have been of paramount concern. Herewith, a sampling of what's in store! Sixties Minutes: The cost of maintaining a crack news team and mobile cameras being prohibitive, Swarthmore TV will show instead newsreels from the Sixties, when things were more interesting around here, anyhow. Thee's Company: You'll quake with laughter at this sitcom about a young Philadelphia Quaker and his two female roommates. Each week poor Jack is run out of town on a rail, tarred and feathered, placed in the stocks, or publicly flogged for sinning. A laff-riotf Holycost: This powerful drama, a six-part series, features actual films of Jewish parents receiving tuition bills from Swarthmore That's Inedible!: Filmed live from Sharpies, this show features some of the strangest and most suspicious creations of Saga's chefs. It will also include weekly scenes of the Jonestown Tragedy, re-enacted by students. Tarbles Angels: Three almostpretty girls solve mildly interesting philosophical problems in between gossiping, munching on french fries, and playing pool. One 'A' At A Time: In which the faculty of Swarthmore discuss grading policies. The Whartons: This family drama follows the adventures of Johnboy during his freshman year at Swarthmore, living in a Wharton quad with a junkie, a nymphomaniac, and a Bruce Springsteen fanatic. The Six Million Dollar Grant: Unable to provide proper housing for its bionic students, Swarthmore College conducts a furious campaign to raise enough money to rebuild Parrish in stainless steel.

Olmsted concluded. "The peace movement is always going forward. It's like a screwdriver, not a pendulum. I see ultimate victory. I don't get discouraged. That's the problem with being young; you get discouraged. We who have been through a lot are more philosophical; we take the long view." Wilson spoke highly of the Swarthmore Peace Collection, calling it "the most complete collection [on peace] in the world ... a collection that is absolutely tremendous." "What are we after? We're after the total abolition of war and the change from the war system to one of peace," Wilson explained. "We believe that peace is the will of God." In order to "build a world where peace is possible," said Wilson, people must work for four things: "a better organized world, a disarmed world, a developed world, and a reconciled world." The United States, he claimed, can take very little credit for any advances that have been made so far. He cited the contrast between massive military expenditure and the small amount spent on the United Nations and its programs. "We don't believe in peace," Wilson exclaimed. "We have never invested the faith, the time, the dollars, or the brains to make peace possible." Wilson, too, saw signs of hope even in the Reagan era. "I think the last two weeks have marked a turning point," he said, pointing to an awakening in the White House to negative pubfc opinion and the necessity for international cooperation. "Because it's difficult," Wilson concluded, "it's that much more important." During the question and answer period, members of the audience expressed interest in pacifist investment policies, a cabinentlevel Secretary of Peace, and peace education. Barbara Wien introduced herself as a representative of the Project for Global Education of the Institute for World Order, a group which visits college campuses in an effort to persuade schools to offer interdisciplinary programs in "peace studies." Wien said she would be visiting Swarthmore later this fall to explore the possibility of a peace major here. S'more begins Howard exchange by Lisa Hostein (second in a series) Located in Washington, D.C., Howard University characterizes itself in its brochure as "a predominantly black institution with a greater degree of integration than is found in almost any other college or university." An exchange program between Howard and Swarthmore will be initiated on a trial basis this spring. According to Associate Dean Gilmore Stott, the plan has met with encouragement from both students and administration. Although the idea of an exchange has been in the "back of people's minds for some time," according to Provost Harrison Wright, it was he who initially discussed the plan with administrators at Howard while there on other business last year. After receiving encouragement from the Committee on Student Exchanges at well as members of the Swarthmore Afro-American Student Society (SASS), Stott continued the communication with Howard's director of the Division of Student Affairs, Barry L. Bern. The communication progressed! through the summer and, " according to Stott, the terms are all set. The number of students selected from Swarthmore will depend on equal interest from Howard. As with all the Swarthmore exchange programs, "this too will be an even exchange," noted Stott. Stott believes that many Swarthmore students would find the location and character of Howard attractive. "Regardless of i race," he remarked, "many j students would find it interesting at a university that is predominantly black." Although Howard students may not presently know about Swarthmore, Stott feels that if publicized enough, students would be motivated to come to a school where there is a "minimum of formality and a maximum of thinking." Wright also noted that Howard already has a number of exchange programs, including one with Williams College. Both black and white students would be eligible for the exchange, according to Stott. Yvette Miller, president of SASS, thinks the exchange is a good idea. "Just like any other exchange," she commented, "it gives people the chance to experience something new." Although it might "seem more natural for more blacks to want to go," Miller continued, "it is not just for black students." —Scott Cowfl«r E.

Sports action at Swarthmore Harriers 5-0 On a sunny and hot Saturday last weekend, the Swarthmore ;ross-country team travelled to Baltimore where they upped their record to 5-0 by beating Johns Hopkins, 24-35. "We're a young team with a lot 5f depth," beamed coach Joe Stefanowicz. "We might lose the dumber one spot, but our strong grouping gives us an edge in the iniddle." I I ast weekend the Garnet was laced by freshman Tom Klein, /ho took the second spot wun a ime of 25:37 for the 4.75 mile course. The next Garnet member ivas senior captain Larry fchmer, Clocking 25:59. This Saturday the Garnet looks to keep its winning streak alive With a match at Delaware Valleya tough team to whom they lost a one-point heartbreaker last season. - Entry Robinson -Keith Koffler Developing fine play in practice pays off for J.V. in 2—2 tie with Princeton Tigers. J.V. soccer ties Princeton Wednesday, Sept. 30, the junior varsity soccer team turned in its strongest performance against Princeton, tying the Ivy 2-2. Last year Princeton trounced the Garnet 9-1, but this year the game ended with the score 1-1. Swarthmore's goal was scored by freshman Wayne Shields, who split two defenders and placed the ball by the. goaltender. In - the overtime period, Princeton grabbed the lead on a garbage goal off a corner kick. Junior Ken Wei, however, retaliated for the Garnet on a blast from the top of the penalty box. The second overtime period ended the game with no further scoring. On_Fjiday, Sept. 25, the team was overpowered by a strong University of Delaware squad. The Garnet were unable to clear the ball from their end to muster an attack. Delaware scored in the first few minutes and continued to press for their victory. The booters picked up their first win of the season against the Williamson School, whom they defeated" 5-3 on Tuesday, Sept. 22. l nis game, characterized by endto-end play, see-sawed back and forth before Swarthmore finally pulled away. With the game tied 3-3, freshman Andre Lorch scored two decisive goals to ensure victory. This upcoming Wednesday, Oct. 7, the team will try to improve its 2-2-1 record against Beaver College. Bob Cooney Men's soccer loses to Lehigh The varsity soccer team did not play up to its potential this week in a 5-0 loss to Lehigh, playing without much inspiration and appearing flat after two fine games last week against Division I opponents Princeton and Navy. The game was played on Lehigh's home turf in Chesterville, Maryland. Swarthmore had little time for warm up before the match and found themselves out paced at the outset by a very tough and fast opponent. Very early in the game a Lehigh player broke past the Swarthmore defensive line to walk in one-onone on sophom*ore goalie Ken Mikaulauskas. It turned out to be an all-too-frequent occurence. That score and another one soon after placed the Garnet into a difficult come-from-behind position while the contest was still young. After halftime Swarthmore fought back with determination. More passes found their mark and all around hustling provided a few chances to score. In a smart tactical maneuver, Coach Joe Leitner put freshman Wayne Shields back to a fullback position: this put a more effective damper on the opponents quick forwards. The rally died, however, when Lehigh scored on what could only be termed a "garbage" goal. The ball, tied up in traffic a few yards in front of the Swarthmore net, was unimpressively shuffled into the net. Swarthmore will be looking to do well on Saturday when they oppose Washington College. The team shows every indication of getting geared up for the match; the lack of a game this past Wednesday has helped them to rest up. 1 n the last few years Swarthmore has done well against WC; this game is usually a finely contested one. In 78 the score was 1-0, in '79 5-0 and last year 1-0; Swarthmore won all of those games. The team will be ready to add one more to the streak and start off the league season with a victory. -Dante DiPirro in Swarthmore territory. Minutes later LV quarterback Dave Nuyannes hooked up with Jeb Stauffer for the Dutchmen's first touchdown against Swarthmore since 1976. On the next series, an identical situation occured, and this Lebanon Valley interception was parlayed into a 14-7 Dutchmen lead via a 28 yard scrambling maneuver by N uyanncs. • It took until six minutes remained for the Swarthmore offense to find the efficiency of its opening drive. Meehan and senior halfback Tony Burton helped them do just that, as they led the Garnet downfield 70 yards. Meehan broke off a long run to give Swarthmore a first and goal at the one yard line. But despite four chances, the Garnet could not punch the ball over. A heavily pressured Massi threw incomplete into the end zone on fourth down, and Swarthmore's hopes were shattered. Of the game, tri-captain Massi later said, "1 felt something wrong before the game, though I couldn't really say what. We just failed to play up to our potential, and it was a very disappointing game." Defensive end John Walsh said that the defense "didn't give up many yards, but there were just a few key mistakes in important situations." Swarthmore's defense was impressive in defeat, allowing only 35 passing yards and 74 on the ground. The offense tallied 258 net yards, 93 passing and 192 on the ground. The Garnet (1-1) will attempt to bounce back this week as they play their home opener against Johns Hopkins at 1:30 on Clothier Field.

Women's soccer club ups record to 2-1-1 by James Marks Today's word for the women's soccer club is even. At least that's the way they finished last week after posting a win, a loss, and a tie to bring their record to 2-1-1 after four games this season. The loss came Tuesday against Villanova in an evenly contested 2- 0 game. Swarthmore started out strongly and pressed the 'Nova goal, mainly through hustle and winning loose balls. As both teams settled down, howeveT, the Wildkittens began producing linked passes that often resulted in chances on the Garnet goal. Villanova's first goal, though, came not as the result of a nice passing play but off a weak pass on Swarthmore's part from a fullback to goalkeeper Roshini Ponnamperuma. One of the 'Nova forwards alertly picked it off and slipped it in the net. Villanova added another goal soon after to leave the score 2-0 at halftime. Swarthmore was not without its chances throughout the game, but superior play by the Nova goalkeeper shut them down more than once. Junior co-captain Patty Pesavanto was robbed in the first half when the opponents' goalie flicked Pesaventos cross to the far side of the goal and out of bounds after an impressive dive to her weak side. In the second half, Swarthmore was awarded a penalty kick. Back Katya Bankowsky hit a hard drive for the top of the goal but the keeper managed to deflect it up and over the crossbar. Coach David Smoyer acknowledged the opposing goaltender's role in the game, saying she was a "high-quality goalie." Additionally, he noted another important factor in the loss: the lack of positional play. Commented Smoyer, "We need to fill the middle of the field. We're relying too much on our midfield, and they weren't able to do it all." "We play them again in two weeks,"* Smoyer added. "If they think they're much better than us, they'd better be careful, because we'll surprise them." If some of the players repeat Tuesday's performance Smoyer may be right. Pesavanto was a force all over the field despite the handicap of a badly injured toe. Fellow co-captain junior Emily Rothberg did a good job working the middle of the field, and freshman Liz Varon's slick ballhandling coming down the right wing was also impressive. The Quakers' win and tie came against Penn and > Dickinson, respectively. Against Penn, Pesavanto scored the only goal needed as the defense put together a strong effort to preserve the 1-0 win. The Dickinson game ended in a 2-2 deadlock. Varon scored one goal and Pesavanto added another, her fourth of the season. Games coming up include contests with highly-touted West Chester today, at home and Franklin &. Marshall, Tuesday. Keith Koffler Intense and competitive practices pay off for women's soccer club. Spikers improve against LaSalle by Patricia Carrera "I almost do not consider it a loss because we played so well," said women's varsity volleyball coach Sue Davis of her team's close match with LaSalle College Tuesday night. Despite the strength of the Division I team, Swarthmore played extremely well with the final result 12-15, 11-15, 12-15. Davis noted with pleasure that the team's scores were the result of Swarthmore attack rather than the mistakes committed by LaSalle. This was the best game the Garnet has played this season. Mistakes arose at inopportune times when the team needed to gain points. However, most of the match was marked by brilliant play. The women were able to dig up LaSalle's serves and spikes and return them with power and control. Swarthmore's spikes were mixed with dinks in the middle of the games to throw their opponents off. Senior (Crista Taylor and freshmen Suzanne Buckley and Jean DiPirro served well throughout, adding to the score and keeping the match intense and competitive. Taylor also aided the team with several crucial blocks at net. At the most exciting point of the match, Buckley chased down two bad passes to set up junior Lisa Yahna who put away the ball with a spike at the net. Last Thursday night the Garnet did not play as well and lost to Wilmington 3-15, 0-15, 15-6, 2-15. The women experienced a rough night, as the play was not > customary of the team's usui performance. The Garnet is now 1-1 in th division and 2-3 overall. \\ women are playing better togethi as a unit. The LaSalle game wj clearly a team effort and it is th teamwork which the Garnet relying upon for their futui -success. Women's volleyball players in position and concentrating ban during recent match with Division I foe LaSalle. -Keith Koffbr Field hockey team looking tough by Lacy Junes After a disappointing 2-2 tie with perennial hockey power Textile, the Swarthmore women's field hockey team got back on the winning track Tuesday afternoon, rolling over Rosemont by a score of 10-0. The team had won all of its games before encountering Textile, but it is still undefeated and is showing a healthy inclination to remain so. The Textile heartbreaker may have been set up by the Garnet's easy 14-0 victory over Harcum last week. Textile's strength came as a surprise, and although the Swarthmore women went ahead twice. Textile pulled even both times to put the win out of reach. Coaches Pete Hess and Betty Souders stressed loss of poise, and concentration breakdowns as the key factors in the game. Yet, they had good words for Swarthmore's passing, teamwork, defensive interceptions and transitions from defense to the attack. The coaches emphasized the need for players to be "one step ahead both physically and mentally.'' Determined not to let Rosemont leave Tuesday's game unimpressed, Swarthmore kept itself mamsteps ahead of the opposition and fired in five goals each half to regain their winning form. The first half saw the ball in Rosemont's territory most of the time. After only two minutes had elapsed, senior left inside Gwen Erwin received a corner hit from senior right wing Monica Haley and rammed it into the cage for the first score. The next goal came from the far left as junior wing Sue Ellen Heath hit a long cross to Haley and tipped the ball.in when it was returned to her. Rosemont had a few runs into Swarthmore territory but was repeatedly turned back by efficient defense, in particular by strong play from sophom*ores Nan Weinstock and Meg Chaplin. Senior Barb Wismer scored out of a confused scramble in front of the goal twenty minutes into the game, and seven minutes later had another one on a fierce assist down the middle from sophom*ore Jenny Herrington. Haley had the fifth score with five minutes to go in the first half. The second half saw different players in the spotlight. After two minutes sophom*ore Donna Marchesani had the Rosemont goalie at her mercy, leading to a successful penalty shot by Erwin. Marchesani followed the play with a goal of her own ten minutes later—a strong drive which slid in just behind the right goal post. Sophom*ore goalie Aileen Rcac saw more action in the second half With the advent of more aggressive and much-improved play o« Rosemont's part, she was pushed to make a few spectacular saves, ai the Lady Quakers defense as a whole had their hands full to keep the ball out of the net. The Garnet finally had anothei score with eleven minutes left in the game, as junior Debbie Felix flicked in a ball sailing across the goal off Haley's stick. The Rosemont goalie increased het saves from two in the first half to five in the second, but senior left back Norma Patz did not let hei touch the ball when she scored with six minutes to go, for th< highlight of an excellent game b; the veteran defender. With three minutes left, it was the old story 01 a Haley-to-Wismer play which sd up Wismer's third, and the squad': final, score of the day. —Norm Matthnnfi With ready support and meticulous stickwork, the hockey tear soars to more victories. First loss of season is a heartbreaker by Jim Weber Garnet lets one get away, 14- 7 It was an attempt to do what no other Swarthmore football team had done since 1966—win its first two games of the season. But when Saturday's contest was over, Swarthmore would have to wait another year, as Lebanon Valley upset the Garnet, 14-7, at Arnold Field in Annvile, Pa. If there was a favorite going into Saturday's game, it was Swarthmore. Their defense was ranked third nationally entering the game; they were coming off a 9-3 opening day victory over Moravian, and the Garnet had held Lebanon Valley scoreless the previous three times the two teams had met. The incentive of a 2-0 record, the last of which was recorded by Swarthmore's MAC championship team of 1966, seemed to be effective as senior quarterback Steve Massi engineered a 66-yard opening drive which culminated in his own three-yard run for a touchdown. The key to the eightminute drive was the hard running style of Kevin Lagasse, who piled up 64 first half yards. Lagasse's running, along with a key screen pass to sophom*ore halfback Ed Meehan, gave the Garnet an early 7-0 lead, with MassiVscore; Early in the second period, Lagasse, who played the game with a fractured hand, put Swarthmore in scoring position again with a 30- yard jaunt down the right sideline to the Lebanon Valley 18. But the Garnet were unable to capitalize, and a 32 yard field goal attempt by Phil Favalletto fell short. The first half, as it had been at Moravian a week earlier, was dominated by Swarthmore. The Garnet ran off 46 plays to Lebanon Valley's 23, and Swarthmore's defense allowed only two first downs. In the third quarter, however, the Garnet attack failed significantly enough to allow the Flying Dutchmen to score the tying and eventual winning points. A deflected Massi pass found its way to a Lebanon Valley defender Phoenix sport 12 October 2. 1981 (continued on page II)
