As you flip through this first issue of "The 

Lowell" for the 1982-83 school year, you'll 

filvd chat several changes and revisions have 

licctt made throughout. 

Our staff editors discussed these changes at 

litngth, and we feel thtt they were made in the 

best interests of our paper with great consideration 

to you, our readers. 

First of all, after much ttrught we decided 

to revise tha format of the Profiles section 

found in the centerfold. 

Since its inception in 1980, Profiles had 

: -evolved from a people section.into a feature 

; section focussing each jxmth on a specific 

; -'' topic from hans gliding to teenage sex. ' 

,.,- We~decided to rnturn to the original corcept 

of Profiles. This month the section is devoted 

" •'• f". to the school's returning teachers. 

. We have decided to condense three sections.

Lack of study space continues as problem 

By Caroline Cabadlng- 

Congested hallways, the consequence 

of Lowell's need for 

more nudy space, ti a constant 

problem on the main cempus. 

The libraries and resource 

centers cannot house all of ihe 

studying students, so rruny resort 

to studying In the'corridors, 

thereby producing rhc congestion. 

ThK fall the problem lias 

became more serious. With the 

Math-Science Resource Center 

no longer serving as a study hall 

and the tacreajed integration 

of north and south campus students, 

there are now more 

studesti and less study ipacc 

than lait year. 

According to Jack Meier, 

foreign language Insmictot 

and Faculty Council member, 

"The crowded halls reduce the 

ability to move freely ... and 

some student) who play radios 

and talk loudly maVe It Impoislble

Meier, who It Faculty Council 

chairman, luted, "The

* A native San Franciscan and 

a Lowell graduate, Kalil, who 

flm taught at James Lick 

Middle School, and who is now 

beginning her filth ytar at 

Lowell, commented that mass 

communications Is a recent 

Interest and that she had always 

wanted to be a teacher.

because she"... likes the 

mimanitlr* type of -.caching." 

She explained further, "Compared 

to other subjects, TngUsh 

has ten concrete subject matter: 

one is always dealing w?th Individual 

interpretations of characters 

and situations - there arc 

no 'yes and no' a raven." 

Though one must teach rbe 

mechanics of the language, 

she fccL. that one can teach 

values through English a* well. 

"1 believe there Is a seme of 

order In life," said Kalil. "This 

U why I enjoy teaming 'Epic 

and Myth* the most. In mythology, 

thcte Is a strong seme 

of order, wd the myths bring 

out many of the huimn qualities 

and potential.- 

In ha spare time, Kalil enjoys 

going out and working 

with people rather than staying 

home and watching television. 

•Television," she said, "U 

too far from reality; television 

makes one passive. People 

oeed to be more active and

Why hai Ae album been so

Living amid death 

in 'The Gin Game' 

By Kelly Ryan 

"TheGlnC-jmc" Is almost

old people Is embodied 

n ihc potted pbuu that uc

Wallers Is wonderful in her 

portrayal of "omla, the rather

'Punchline' atmosphere appeals 

By Randy KMS 

Do you tver wonder bow 

famous comedians start out? 

Where do you think Robin Willlams 

suited his career in show 

business' 1 

The answer is the Punchline, 

the "rush hour and comedy 

nightclub," located at +44 

Battery Street In downtown San 

Francisco. 

On Friday, September C4, 

yours truly decided to check 

out this comedy sanctuary. 

Walking In, I was faced with 

two choices: be a wallflower 

or be aggressive, 

I opted for the latter, so instead 

of sitting fn the back unnoticed, 

I decided to sit up 

front, making myself more 

vulnerable to the comecUan. 

The atmosphtre of the place 

was at once warm, frtcMly, 

and exciting. There W*TC 

Images of San Francisco 00 the 

surrounding vails, and people 

were holding good-natured 

convetsatlotu while soft rock 

music played In the background. 

At about 8:30 p. m,, the 

M.C.. Robert WuM. who proved 

to be even funnier tban the two 

featured, comedians, started the 

show with a few Jokes and asked 

the audience not to be oiTended 

by racial Jokes or being made 

fun of. "We are all here to 

have fun," he offered. 

He Introduced the first comedian, 

Mary Lee Davis, who 

was very entertaining, making 

fun of everyone she could. Her 

45-mlnute stint was followed 

by more jokes by WuhU 

Jim dvatds w« *he second 

featured performo who succeeded 

in keeping the audience 

laughing at his humor. His 

presentation also.lasted 45 minutes. 

Wuhl closed the show, 

asking everyone to tip gencr- 

•ously. 

The Punchline is the pla.. c 

to go to enjoy contemporary 

comedy and new talent to 

deliver it. The club sppcaa 

to house about 200 people, and 

there Is standing room Also. 

Several tlrncf a year rite 

club holds amai:ar nights when 

young comedians appear to 

make their debuts and make 

an Impression In the comedy 

field. 

Different comedians perform 

each week with usually two or 

three on an evening's prtgK.ro.

Library expansion set 

By Kellie Gau 

Construction plans are underway 

for the expansion of the 

Social Studies Resource Center- 

Meyer Library complex by 

adding some 2,000 squars feet 

to provide much needed study 

area, according to Dr. Alan 

FIbUh, principal. 

"The present resource centerlibrary 

area Is too small to 

accommodate the Urge number 

of students who wim to 

do study and research,- FlbUh 

noted. 

Additional riooc space in 

the resource center-library 

area would rake some of the 

pressure off the other smaller 

resource centers «LJ would 

help solve some of the congestion 

In the tuiU. 

On a recent visit to Lowell. 

Dr. Robert Allow, superintend- 

ent of schools, observed the 

overcrowding ind Inadequacy 

of the library facilities at 

LnvclU 

Me Indicated that he would 

support the enlargement of 

the present facilities. The 

projected cost is a quarter of 

a million dollars. 

Recently, a panel consisting 

of a student, a parent, head 

librarian Robert CantpbeU, 

and Dr. Fibbh interviewed 

prospective architects for thft 

r project. The panel will make 

a recommendation to Dr. 

AUoto who will nut* the final 

decision. 

Preliminary steps leading to 

construction began last spring 

whea the San Francisco Board 

of Education approved archtrectural 

pUiu fur die additive* 

Modifications were made so 

plant would conform to State 

Department of Education regulations. 

Under proposed plans, the 

north Kail of the library, extending 

from tho main entrance 

to the Book-to-book Center, 

would be removed and extended 

out into the front courtyard area, 

picking up the additional 2,000 

square feet. 

It Is anticipated that the 

construction will have Unlo 

effect on normal school operations. 

It Is possible that the 

Job can be completed before 

the end of the school year 

In June 1983. 

Optimistically, Dr. Flbtsh 

predicted, "The present Junior 

Class will be able to use the* 

expanded facility before its 

members graduate. "

Prop. 15: 

shooting from the hip? 

By Kris Clothlu 

The alarming ilia In handgun- 

££< related crlma has caused gun 

'"_ control to become a mi Jot Issue 

oo the social and political 

scenes. 

In today*! locrfjslngly violent 

society, the number of 

-handgun being purchased has 

' steadily Increased. This'uatiuoal 

private arsenal h« reached ihj 

. SS minion figure ant! b expected 

m pass 100 million by the year 

' 2000. . 

The Increase In the sale and 

use of handguns has resulted In 

the formation of various groups 

dedicated to better Inform the 

public abcut handgun use and 

control* 

One such organisation, me 

Foundation oo violence In - 

America, was created as a 

result of the aisusUutlon of 

eT:-Beatle and peace advocate 

John Lcnnoc 

"Wo founded this Institution 

to try and convert soma of that 

(zagts experience Into something 

positive so that his death 

would stand for something," 

stated lanu S. Wenner, a clnse 

friend of Lennon, 

Even though an expected three 

or four million gun are expected 

to be sold this year, three out 

- of four Americans favor some 

tort of handgun control. 

Current laws allow Individuals 

IB yean or older to purchase a 

handgun as long as he/she Is 

not a i Evicted criminal, mentally 

disturbed, or a drug atMlci. 

Some, like Wenner, feel 

that the national gun lobby is 

responsible for spreading con- 

fusion among the public about 

Run control, 

Cun lobbyists comerd that 

people must be able to protect 

themselves and oppose any kind 

of gun conticl laws. 

Th; pro Jnd con gun control 

advocates have been active 

'lils past yenr. The town of 

V'crmesaw, Georgia, became 

the first to adopt legislation 

requiring every citizen to have 

a fireum for protection. 

Pilot programs In five American 

cities will have p.'-Uce 

working to educate the p»Mic 

"Handguns breed fear, 

fear breeds handguns." 

that handguns co not necessarily 

afford protection* 

San Francisco became the 

first major city to ban most 

private ownwershlp of handguns. 

A contovralal huidgun control 

measure Is oo the November 

2 California ballot. 

Proposition IS would require 

registration of all handguns in 

California by November 2, 

1983, and provides mandatory 

Jail sentences for Individuals 

caught carrying concealed 

hanugum. 

XUIUons cf dollars are being 

'spent by supporters and opponent! 

of rhe measure. 

Statistic! iaiy that one :•* 

every four American voters owns 

a handgun and half of them 

are loaded. 

The dilemma is summed up 

by the phrase. 'Handguns breed 

fear, and fear breeds handguns.*

Stimmary- 

PropositioD 14 would amend 

the state constitution by tuntferring 

the rerporalbf lity cf 

rcapportlonment from the

established commission. This 

commission would reapportlon 

the Assembly, Sate Senate, 

Congressional, and Board of 

Equalization districts. It 

would consist of members appointed 

by California Justices 

and political parties. 

Pro- 

Supporters of this amendment. 

Including former President

mat allowing legislators to

The family bas helped 

Saldivor get accustomed to* 

the city which will be her 

borne until June of 1083. 

Saldivor hat found San Fran- ' 

cisco to he a "lovely place," 

and she has enjoyed visiting 

many of the tourist areas such 

as Pier 39* Sautalito, anJ 

Golden Gate Park. 

Atked why ihc derided to

pretty, dark-eyed girl explained, 

"I've always liked

to learn about anotiicr 

country and to learn more 

English." 

Four jean after the dcclilon

"Some people speak fast," 

she commented. 'I c.n understand

She ha:: studied English

She explained, "Even If a guy 

and girl are just friends, and 

they meet on the street, they 

say 'hello' and kiss. Hie 

people arc friendly I" 

Saldivor also noted that In 

Mfxfca American music rivals 

the more traditional Latin sals 

in popularity. Pausing to recall 

the popular American recording 

antsti, she came up 

with "... Kool and the Gang,

eyes growing pcnilve, she 

stated, "I mist my family

Saldivor has been unable 

to get used to the American 

custom of having the Urge

Draft registration enforced

After the Vie: Nam war, 

the draft was discontinued because

various gangs," according to 

Inspector John McKenot. o' 

the Sang Task Force, "especially 

those farmed with the 

recnt arrival of Immigrants 

In the early 70's." 

McKenna pointed out that 

the Police Department a bo 

had Information about "some 

of the ldds from Hong Kong ... 

clashing with American-born 

Chinese. There wasn't a grc=: 

deal of this going on, but 

enough to create some concern." 

"Consequently, several police 

officers began learning 

about some of the cultures, 

the history, and me background 

of the Immigrants to 

account for what was happening,- 

said McKetma. "But

Following the Golden Dragon

according to KIcKe.JU. 

Although the Gang Task Fotce 

does deal with other ethnic 

communities In the city. Its 

primary expertise lies within 

Chinatown where the effects 

of the fotce have been felt, 

"for a period of time, we 

suffrrH over SO gang-related 

homicides," said McKenna. 

"We are now happy to say 

(bat wltb the masses of murders

of the Gang Task Force, we 

have only had five since 1977, 

foar of which have been solved," 

he Indicated. 

McKenna conceded that at 

first the Task Force did not 

have a great deal of success 

because victims were fearful 

of entering Isto tbe Judicial

year succeu began to Increase, 

Constant contact wltn the

cited tbe roost recent murder 

conviction of a gang member 

who had fled to Miami after 

fatally subbing a police lieutenant 

and a member of the 

Wah Chlng gang outside a

Originating In the 193O'i

dccld^l that aP high schools

working on b that of the lack of 

study space and the resulting

Meier reflected no the problem, 

stating. "You cannot

Crass people live In 

Vlsalla, Mllpltas, 

Brisbane, and of course, 

Daly City, the Crass 

Capitol of the World. 

Crass people "get

stay at Motel 6 where 

they find the paintings

THE LOWELL 

Holiday spirit fading 

"Buy this product, it's the boot! What 

gourmet cook could te without this handydandy 

gadget! Remember, Christmas will be 

here soonI" 

Because af the constant pressure and bombardment 

of advertising, the American public 

Is losing sight of the true holiday spirit. 

Advertisers hcvc begun hcliday cdvcrtlbing 

earlier and earlier each year. A3 a result, 

American Ideals arc turning more materialistic. 

Joseph Magnln's downtown store installed 

their Christmas windows in mid-October. The 

windows exclaimed, "Only 70 more days 'til 

Christmas!" 

By convincing the public that they cannot 

do without a certain product or service, 

advertisers Induce people into buying things 

they do not want or cannot afford. 

Advertising aimed at children trains 

youngsters to be a society of consumers, convincing 

them that they need everything they 

sec. 

People also tend to compare friendships on 

how much money one spent on a gift: "He 

bought DC an expensive sift, therefore I like 

him better than soaeone else." 

During previous years, people seemed to 

have had a better idea of the true spirit of 

the holidays. 

In the Depression, for instance, people 

did not have the means to buy expensive gifts, 

KO they put more thought into a special gift 

that could he n.idc Instead oJ bought. 

This consideration showed a Uindrtd spirit, 

and brought people closer together. 

The precarious economic situation In the 

world today should cause uo to reflect on our 

ideals and priorities. The lovn and cotcpanlontihip 

felt in earlier holiday seasons can 

only be recaptured through understanding. 

With world affairs in such a chaotic state, 

and nuclear weapons au constant threats, the 

hutcan race needs to take a step coward increasing 

brotherhood. The holidays seem like 

a perfect time to do it. 

Grading process 

needs overhaul 

On the whole, Lowell has i \Jty lino faculty. 

However, there are moiC than an "isol&ted few" 

in this group who demonstrate a very disturbing 

trait: basing their grades purely on numbers. 

Un r ortunately, all too many teachers lose sight 

of tltc supposed reason we enroll in their 

classes—to loarn, not to memorize. 

Example: giving multiple choice tests on 

Scantrons. Teachers' aides know the hour? 

this procedure sivcn, but students, if not 

angered, should be, rhat: (1) someone uho did 

not study could take a few lucky guesses, and 

(2) true students arc given no opportunity 

to show newly acquired knowledge by means ot 

essay questions, etc. In addition, many true 

or false questions arc worded in such a way 

that they become brain teasers rather than 

true indicators. How about effort? Oral participation?

under which the entire tuff 

hud to work, I am also disappointed 

with tbe outcome, 

but under the conditions, the 

staff did Its best. 

First of all, the 1932 yearbook 

staff started off with a 

deficit of several thousand 

dollars from the 1981 book. 

As a result, we were prevented 

from putting In more color

for this deficit .tnd to offset

By Dana FaIV 

From bb first hit In 1075 

with the Commodores, "Sweet 

Love," to his latest solo rcleatcs, 

"Truly" and "Serves 

You Right," Lionel Richie 

has mete ihan proven his 

musical gailus. 

His debut album on the 

Motown label, entitled "Lionet 

Richie." sets him apart from 

many budding soloists because 

he has not abandoned his original 

group to embark on a 

glorious, new career* 

Still devoted to the Commodores, 

but anxious to showcase 

his talents a bit mote, Richie 

hit written, performed, ant! 

produced an album exciting 

In Its moods and superior In 

Its musical scope. 

The album opens with the 

fjtt-paccd "Scrv«M You Right" 

In clanic RAB style and continue! 

with a subtle rock ballad 

called "Wandering Stranger," 

wjlch is a hit bUnd In Its In* 

strur.xnution, but pivotal in its 

me&ttge. According to Richie, 

the lyrics, "I must keep moving 

tilt I find me," arc very much 

from the heart. 

Next up U "Tell Me," an 

energetic song ihat it definitely 

top-of-t he-charts nutcrtaU 

"Tell Ate" sounds a lot liko 

something Kenny Rogers would 

sing If he had soul - no coincidence, 

since It uas Richie who 

wane such songs as the number 

we "Lad)" for Rogers several 

years ago. 

Hounding out side one Is a 

slow tune called "Sly Love," 

whiih has * definite countrywestwn 

twang to It. 

Thu flip side opens with 

"Round and Round," an espec- 

Ully c.ucliy song that sounds 

like ar>I Earth, Wind, and Fire 

vtmber with a *wp slant. It 

serves w.:M at a prelude to the 

song"Trut>,* 'he flnt cut to 

bo. a hit s'ngle. I: Is a beautiful, 

toothing ballad, but it 

sounds suspiciously akin to the 

Commodores* "Three Timei 

a Lady." Hccerthclcts, ir is 

an excellent song that merits, 

lu own chart standings. 

Side two alto futures a song 

titled "You Arc," which utilizes 

smooth harmonising luck* 

ground vocils to give it a pleating 

found. 

Finally, "LionelRichie" hinds 

tip with the short nnd sweet 

"You Mean More to Me" JOS 

rhe melodic "Juit I'm Some 

LovC tc Your Heart." which 

ends the LP on a spiritual note. 

Both Lionel Richie, the nun, 

and the -lujm abound vi * 

diversity. The no* album 

exemplifies hit rangr of abilities, 

which he a i»"U discovering. 

Hlchlc remarked, "With this

head of state would liku tr encounter 

- he roust rescue his 

country's slipping economy. 

Although the Soviet standard 

of tiring has almost doubled 

In ihe last 20 yean, the economy 

Is now in a state of crisis 

following the death of Leonid 

Brczhtev, 

There ire many reasons foe 

the economic crisis In Russia. 

One major factor Is the low 

blrtlt me. The Russian lea Jen 

can nc longer count on a luge 

annual growth rate to augment 

their arsenal, to Invest In new 

factories, and to Improve living 

standards. 

Another reason for the slump 

is itie fact that factory commodities, 

with the exception ot 

weaponry, arc of such low quality 

iha' they can rarely be sold 

en world market*.

Optimism necessary 

Unemployment: 10.8 percent. The 

Federal Deficit: >180 billion. American 

Industry: deal or dying. Nuclear 

mlsslc production: oii"e. We don't 

need to look hird--the statistics make 

it painfully clrar: our country seems 

to be spiralling out of control toward 

an era of no jobs, far too much bureaucracy, 

little growth, and an even 

greater threat of total obliteration. 

And to make matters worse, there 

aren't any indxations that things are 

going to get bcttc . 

Despite the gloomy situation, 

Americans ami other peoples of the 

world arc still holding on to one 

valuable possession: optimism. 

In a recent: nternational Gallup 

poll, the majority in each of the 

world's majoi countries felt thai 

the future actually holds progress and 

peace for the entire globe as well as 

for their own nation. American 

optimism ranked among the to;, 

along with tha: of several courtric f 

western Europe. 

This news appears to be qui' 

surprising, but after examinii.^: American 

life, the optimism becomes 

apparent. 

One case in point is politics. Be- 

yond tin- artificial promises, the 

phony rhetoric, the hot air, and the 

little action, most people still believe 

that either under the present 

administration or under the guidance 

of Democrats, our situation will 

Improve. Rare Is the person who 

thinks dirt there is no possible solution, 

although tlu facts are really 

behind this pessimism. 

Wall Street serves as another example. 

Stocks basically are a barometer 

of optimism: when there is 

hope, people want to invest and the 

stock market goes up, but when there 

isn't much hopr, no one feels safe 

enough to invest, and the stock market 

goes sour. 

Currently, Wall Street has been continually 

breaking its record for trading, 

so there are indeed those who 

still think that the American economy 

is a wise investment. 

Nobody can actually measure the 

^cvel of people's optimism, but it 

••ecnis that we are Involvid in a sort 

of Pandora's Box. Along with all the 

death, economic drpression, crime, 

and other evils of the world, we still 

have, and must use, the one jewel 

among our possessions: hope. 

Make sensible resolutions 

"Nlnctcca-clghty-thrcc is going to 

be the year for me to lose SO pounds." 

"I'm going to cat less desserts." 

"This year I have promised myself 

to be more loving to my family and 

friends." 

"I'm going to be the most popular 

person in school this year." 

New Year's resolutions which are 

made every December 31 are usually 

as varied and wild.as the ones above.

the largest military rcvltallsatlon since World War II and a put-' 

sive build-up of our nuclear arsenal, while long-standing programs 

to protect ihe environment arc cllmlnat i. 

C. Fupenc Rwtow, our chief negotiator at the U.S.-Soviet 

nuclear disarmament talks, was fired at a time when bis years of 

experience were about to yield tangible rcsutts in the limitation., 

Ii Is Incumbant upon the American votcn to "revene the 

counc" that ?.cagan set for the nation. To effect change, we 

must elect a competant and sensitive prciidcntUl candidate. 

Of alt the candidates who arc looking to the pea I Jen t la 1 election 

of 1984, Walter Mondale, in this writer's opinion, appears 

to be the most effective, responsible, and Intelligent. M's 30 

years of political srtvlec have given him r familiarity with tlie 

Interests of both the business and farming communities. He proposes 

not economic adonyncs. but programs that will put 

the unemployed back to work and Increase the productivity of 

out Industries. MonJale also advocates a cut In the defense 

budget and a revitallzatlon of educational and research programs. 

\'e knows that It Ii Important to reach anagteement with the 

Russians that will establish verifiable nuclear mm limitations. 

Historically, the early front runnen have stumbled In the race 

Tor their party's nomination. We can only wait ittd see If Mondale's 

early lead, which comes as the result of Kennedy's recent 

withdrawal, will create a Uiilrg momentum throughout the 

primary campaign.

Segregation remains 

problem in schools 

By Mark Uftgar 

Although many Americans 

consider racial segregation to 

be a problem of the past. It 

still pen tits In the nation's 

public tchooU* according to a 

recent Bay Area report. 

Youth News, an East Cay 

agency which produce* a weekly 

radio piogram for tcctugen ami 

researches Issues Important to 

today's youth, conducted the 

report by studying five local 

high schools and interviewing 

over 1,000 students. 

*T!ic %ctjx>lt have taken the 

steps of becoming diverse, * 

explained Lculs Ffcfldberg, 

policy director at Youth News 

and co*sjtS:>r of the study, 

"but tt,e wide gap between the 

different groups s:ill needs to 

be narrowed." 

One of the maior findings 

of the report Is that ethnic aod 

racial groups at high schools 

continue to separate themselves 

on campus, and Amedcao-born 

students generally Ignore new 

Immigrants coming into their 

schools. Tensions can develop 

between natives and Immigrants

'Trace' fades away 

By Larry Goldberg 

If one were to compile a 

list of the ten wont movies 

of recent times, "Without a

ft. 

The film is destined to be 

classified as one of Hollywood's 

most boring productions. It 

drags on for nearly two hours 

and never goes anywhere.

mother whote 7-year-old son

Judd Hutch (best known for bis 

role u Alex on the TV series 

"Taxi") plays a vetdnn detective 

assigned to find the 

missing child. 

Neither actor gives a very 

convincing performance, due 

most likely to the awful scrcenpla). 

The dialogue Is to bad 

that It becomes funny.

film Is the directing. Stanley

He speeds several minutes 

filming Nelligan reading the 

newipiper or lining In the 

bathtub or Just standing around. 

These techniques are acceptable 

fot a «ia life photographer, 

but not for a movie df.jctor. 

In many films In which the 

story rends to drag, there Is a 

creative musical score to help 

keep the pace moving. This 

U not the case In "Without a 

Trace." 

As the story progresses, Klrsch 

and Nelligan search for (ho

The story taken place over a 

period of about six months. 

When the child Is finally

offices from two states to take 

him home. Don't they have 

any criminals to go after? 

Ev-ry action that Htrscb take* 

can be anticipated three scenes 

In advance. There simply Is 

no suspense. This goo to illustrate 

the lack of thought that 

went Into the making of this 

movie. 

The Idea of using a rraÎc

not a bad one. Thousand* of

SPORTS 

GAME POINf- 

C 

-Alan Chan- 

Hi sportsfans. I'd like to bring to your attention 

a crlopllng and Insidious dtssasc wfilch seems 

to have plagued the sports world. No, it's not 

drag!) or the bigh salaries which today have become 

synonymoi'3 with professional sports. It'3 

a problem many of us probably hove hod first 

hand experience with. Here's a hint. 

Jack Clark of the San Francisco Giants, Mike 

Chavez of the- UC Bears basketball team, and 

Purvis Short of the Golden State Warriors all 

have It. True, they are members «f the Bay 

Area sports elite; their baskets ar the buzzer 

and game-winning homcruns make them heroes 

to us. But did you realize that these heroes arc 

afflicted with the modern day communication disease 

known as "You-know-ids." Yes, sportsfans, 

it's true. 

On the court or on the field, tltclr athletic 

excellence makes them look near infallible; certainly 

an Interview lc In order so that they can 

sliarc with.us their feats of accomplishment. 

However, .once the postgumc Interview begins the 

affliction cokes hold and cats away at the speaker's 

attempt to make intelligent conversation. As the 

interview progresses we are bombarded with an 

endless cascade of "you knows" which the unfortunate 

Usteuci- has to endure and then try to decipher 

whnt tfre speaker meant. Often it ends up 

with the listener more confused than ever. 

"You-know-itls" can loosely be defined as the 

inability to express oneself clearly and articulately 

while substituting the well-worn "you know" in 

place of whatever the speaker could not articulate 

or diJ not remember. 

"You-know-ltis" generally has two stages: The 

initial stage Is evidenced by a look of indecision 

and uncertainty shown by the speaker; this is folloved 

by the critical stage which results In the 

verbal onslaught cf "yc j knows." 

An example of this scintillating type of discourse 

is as follows: 

Interviewer: That sure was a great shot you made 

What was going thr jgh your mind 

as you put up the shot? 

Speaker: 'Yeah, well... you know ...I was supposed 

to break toward the., .you know 

...ball, but Jac thi'-vy.. me a long 

pass Instead antf • /know...Icaught, 

the ball and.. .y'.• •-• • ythrew up a... 

. you know... 

•Interviewer: Yeah, a prayer. ~ 

.... Don't get roe wrong, ^You-know-ltta" la not 

• juit" found tn the sports world, but (s present 

: in every phase of our society. In fact, I have 

evert beard ex-Fresldont Gerald Ford utter his 

share of "you knows." I'm just saying that the 

percentage of the population who... .uh.. .ub.. 

You know.

In my lob their is rarely a

Sward, who liaj written for 

the "Chronicle" tor three ye»n, 

i» very enthuitiulc about her 

work. 

"1 enloy meeting people 

and I like lU challenge of 

having to gather anJ organize 

fact: for a itory In > iho.-t 

amount of lime," ihe enthused. 

Be.OP « rcponcr certainly 

gives her a chance to do a lot 

of both. 

At she sees It, newspapers 

are la stiff competition with 

the television and radio In delivering 

ifce fastest and mat 

accurate news. Tt>± re port en 

have to react qu1ckl7 to pos- 

2ible»ioriri. 

SWJITJ stresses that the telephone 

Is very useful In getting 

quick information; often 

Acre isn't enough time ro 

drive down to the location of 

an Incident to cover die story. 

"You havt to be abla to 

hustle a person Into talltin^ to 

you by prolccttag your personality 

through your \nlce," 

the added. 

THE LOWELL- 

Another time saver is tiic 

computer which cuts down on 

* lot of the paperwork. 

Though there Isn't much 

competition within the"Chronicle" 

staff against each other 

or agairet other newspapers. 

Sward feel* a certain *n.ot,:ii 

of cornpetl: ;•••«! against herself. 

"It is often fnttratln^ In that 

I could have known more Infotnvtttnn 

or I culd have been 

more accurate. Sometimes l 

want to write longer stories 

than space permits; the "Ctrfon-

to fit our stories around the idven 

dements.

many snuller articles. She 

likes to have a photograph 

accompanying her stories 

i43Cc pictures can bring out 

trood of 'he itory. 

Being a reporter is tJmeconsaming 

and Swud must often 

do much of her background 

research on her own time, at 

her own pace. She adds that 

she need! the nights to unwind 

so that she can fee us ou the 

new day's work. 

Sward first became Interested 1 

in JCTirnxH? by writing for her 

school paper. She attended 

the Unl7tniiy cf California at 

SantiCrus, Stanford, and the 

Univealry of California at Los 

Angela. 

in 1910, she took clippings 

of storm Jut she —d written 

for :he UCLA "Dally Drain" to 

Associated Press, a Urge newspaper 

syndicate, and was lilrcd. 

?he wcked there fot ten

KGR duper 

My father, a San Franciscn attorney. Is a vocal supporter cf a 

frctr* on nuclear weapons proliferation by the United States and 

the Scvlc: Union. 

"Heck, no," r.e replied, a little perturbed that I bad iwakened 

htm at two In the morning, but, nonethelen. undemanding 

and willing to drawer kli son's queries. 

"1 know yet read that article in 'Reader's Digest,* son," he 

reminded, "but the things the magazine saM were non-sensical 

McCarthylsms meant to sabotage the peace movement.'' 

The articte said that, according w the Reagan jdministration, 

the trillions of prople supporting tiie freeze are n.ete puppets, 

cuiiTtolird by the KGB, the Soviet Union's spy outfit. The Russian*, 

using five agents masquerading as diplomats, have Infiltrated 

the American ituclcar weapons freeze movement in order 

to manipulate it for Soviet purposes. Moreover, ti-e Russians 

have attended peace conferences at American universities and 

have -ven shJied pUrforms with American diplomats. 

I was glad that my father denied the charge. He had hooked 

me into favoring the freeze, and If it turned out he was a dupe, 

that wou*d rrjkc ir.c a ion of a dupe or perhaps a dupt's dupe. 

Either way, this would *JC a serious embarrassment wM-rh I could 

net tolerate. 

I was comfottcd after reading ttie articte. The "Digest" iden- 

-;cicd the five Russian agents/dlplor.uts by name and position. 

1 douUed that our skilled dlolomac or the leaden of the American 

Kteze movement coula be fooled by agents dumb enough 

:n have their cover blown by a magazine. 

Bur I wai abo made very uneaiy b)- itie "Dlgcit." It laid that 

Sovlct-lruplreU ptorvganda was intended to frighten people about 

the effects of nuc!;ir war. That touched a tore spot with me. I 

have always been scarcu ty the thought of nuctear bombs exploding 

over San Francisco, but net* I am doubly troubled. Am 

. 1 sincerely scared or have I been duped by ôvier propaganda? 

From now on, I told rnyielf, I am going to take a closer look 

at the people who tell us these horror stories. The latc«t comes 

from John Banks, chemistry professor of the University of Colorado, 

who said, "... most sunlight would be blocked off. rats 

would multiply at a phenomenal rat?, and disease would be 

widespread and after a limited nuclear war." 

Okay, so he Is a respected scientist, but what I want to know 

b, has he been manipulated by some cv< foreign Influences? 

James Gavin, a retired four-star Army general, Clark Clifford, 

a former secretary of defense, and William E. Colby, ex-chief 

of the Centra) Intelligence Agency, all favor a verifiable freeze 

on nuclear weapons. 

They ate impressive men with Impressive credentials. But 

hold on. All have dealt in their careers with acknowledged 

comtnunlits, and can we br sure that the mlflds of these fine 

Americans haven't beca warped by that ordeal? 

I am still against nuclear war. but from now on, before I 

bcllcvi anything I hear, I want to make certain that I haven't 

been duped Into overlooking the hazards of peace.

EDITORIALS 

Election procedures need improvement 

. How con one make an accuraw 

decision on student government 

officers without the 

opportunity to c!»ose the best 

candidate? 

IAWCII High School's student 

elections often don't give 

students that opportunity. 

The little yellow sheets of 

paper with a description of 

the candidates' qualities and 

an optional picture cannot 

provide enough information 

to make a decision. 

Recently, the student government 

set rp a student 

speaker's fcrum as an opportunity 

to gut better acquainted 

with the candidates. 

However, the forum Is not 

widely publicized and not everyone 

is encouraged to attend. 

Perhaps one reason that 

student voters are apathetic 

(luring election time Is due 

to tlie confusion in government. 

If students wcr>: made more 

aware of the Job qualification > 

And the duties Involved, more 

students would vote and make 

wiser decisions. 

A list of the qualifications 

and requirements for each office 

In each board of government 

would simplify the choice 

even more. 

At other schools, students 

have the opportunity to meet 

with candidates, such as in a 

qucstlon-and-answer program. 

This would enable students to 

lenrn positions on student 

issues. 

Many students complain that 

sTudent government is exclusive 

and aloof. Perhaps this 

opinion could be changed 

through being acquainted with 

potential leaders of tlie school. 

The different branches oi 

government are often hard to 

decipher and I. better chance 

to meet the candidates could 

only make the decision easier.

Hi sports fans. Smelly sweatsocks, scrjggly un- 

Kcir.pt board;., and freshly shaven heads. What do 

the above all have In common? Tliey're all manifestations 

of superstitious behavior practiced by 

some of our more renowned athletes. Wether It's 

the peculiar habit of John Havllcsk wearing tlw same 

pair of unwashed socks as long as the Celtics were 

on a winning streak or Qucntin Daily shaving his heat 

before a big game, the reason for this seemingly irrational 

act la to maintain that winning edge. 

To many these nets to wart! off evil or to maintain 

lOTtd fortune are a throwback to a very distant past. 

Preparedness, execution and the .ability to carry out 

Che t*tsk at hap- 1 ' arc what cuunttf in this age. Superstitions 

and riiunlfi are amusingly tolerated by a sophlsticarcd 

tiuditncc. But truly, don't most of us havi 

our little charms or rituals to prevent, some unknown 

fate from foiling our plans. 

Life can be unpredictable and capricious and iliat 

regardless how prepared one can be, sirsngu things 

do happen. Certainly the year the 49ers experienced 

In 1981 made us bellcv; in miracles. I still wear my 

lucky sweatshirt whenever I sec a 49cr game.

C.A.A. basketball, bowling, and fencing to name 

a few in odditlon to the major sports programs. We

to Join. Berkeley has 39 

fratornltles and 18 

sororttio*. 

Houses vary, but most of 

the members In each houvo 

share many of the same 

Id?as a>id goals. These 

JMIS may be philanthropic, 

ethletlc, academic, 

politic*!, or a combination 

cf these. 

Host college students 

agree that for freshmen the 

orclston to Join a specific 

fraternity or sorority Is 

difficult. Lowell alumni 

and fraternity member Dan 

Rich commented. "I waited 

until my sophomore year to 

Join because as a freshmen 

I was too confused about 

the system to decide. Now 

I'm sura I made tho right 

choice." 

Rich also suggests that 

before ruiMng - the 

process by which 

fraternities anU sororities 

select menbors - the 

potential candidate shou'd 

'visit open houses and 

* narrow his or her choices 

to tan organizations or 

fewer. 

Once tho cnndldato has 

been screened by tho 

oxls Ing moohers and 

approved, he or she Is sen! 

a bid. To accept, the 

candiceto simply returns 

the bid. 

Thq candldates then 

become "Vloogoi" who often 

C;i through "hell week", a 

-eek of Initiation that 

st 1 rj fear 1 n many, 

tometlmes Justifiably. 

They hear rumors of bUarre 

sex ects. drinking until 

sickness, and many other 

humiliating and degrading 

tests. Tno whole process 

of Inltletlon Is topsecret. 

Meobers participate In

Inforoel dances, emong

no,* answered PeuI, a 

member of St9«a* Alpha Hu In 

Berkeley. "Ve take our 

sporting events seriously, 

1'ft proud to say we are the 

stroet-hocktv cha mps." 

How are the parties?' 

Paul only had to lead this 

reporter Into the house's 

taree courtyard for en 

answer. The Sigma Nus were 

still clearing up after a 

nuge Polynesian night held 

three days before* The 

evening cost over 11500, 

had a Ilva band, pals 

treos, safd, end 5 large 

Tiki god that spouted punch 

with an alcoholic content. 

L'woll alumni and 

frarernIty member Adam 

Weisburg noted, "It's a 

place where I feel 

comfortable* There Is a 

social a.id moral 

consciousness.** Welsburg 

admIts that system does 

tend to foster snobblsm and 

con for* Ism* 

"Tho Greek-system Is 

exclusive, but anyone »ho 

has a desire to Join, will 

most certainly find e group 

he or the fits In," 

comented Rich. 

A polI taken on three 

California campuses ot 112 

fraternity and sorority 

members shows rhet most 

members aro satisfied with 

t h e t r fraternal 

organizations. Zero' 

percent of the males and 

throe percent of the 

females feel they have IOST

they have gc tnod good

feel ôcletly benofltted;

23 porcent fcol-porontoi

Tno Greek-system Is not

Bishops and 'the bomb' 

În Novnofihr '1982, 276 Jlshops or the Homan Catholic Church In tho Unites! 

States dobpted before an International television audlenor the morality of 

nuolear wai 1 . The conference v»s unprecedented and left many bishops wondering 

If their lotions were right for the ohurch or the nation.' The prelates drafted 

a drounent which called for a freeze on nuclear weapons by the United States 

and that attacked the nation's basio defense stretegy of nuclear deterrence. 

The bishops »lio urged the Reagan Administration to work actively for 1 

disarmament agrisoent with the Soviet Union. The Pastoral Lottrr drew wide 

support from many members of the Church, Including Archbishop William Qulnn_o: 

San Francisco, and disapproval froa others. * . ••• . 

A fow weoks ago, the National Conference of Bishops net again to decide 

whether the Intent of the letter should be to enoouv.-ige the Western powers to. 

halt the proliferation or nuclear woapons or to onl- gradually curtail their 

jroduotion. 

/-WORLD SCENE- > 

Freezing the curb 

-Michael Donner 

Believe' me, I was shocked to soe thon 

there. After all, how many times does one 

- see'five Ben dressed in eccuaanloal garb, 

standing on the side of the highway, carrying 

placards and vtving bRnnors. I realized that 

It vas ay obligation as an investigative 

reporter to senroh out newsworthy stories, so 

I deoided to.pull over to the shoulder of the 

road and strike up a conversation with the 

lenely figures. ' . 

I approached the nan who held the sign that 

road "Araagedon is near" and asked him what 

the occasion for this asseably was. "Welcome 

my friend," he said calmly. "Allow me to 

introduco myself. Hy name is Arohblshop 

O'Frieze. Hy follow Roman Catholio prelates 

and X have decided to stand by the roadway in 

an effort to bring to the publlo'3 attention 

the Immorality of total annihilation through 

the use of nuclear weapons." 

"Indeed," said the clergyman next to him, 

"cataclysmic threats demand dramatic 

responses. All of us here, with the 

dxaepr.loo of Arohslahop Hawkins, are in full 

support of 8 bilateral nuolear arms freeze 

agreement between the U.S. and tho Soviet 

Union. His Exoollency Hawkins ha: decided to 

Join us in effort co illustrate his 

contrasting opinion.* 

"You're darn rish f , I have," interjected the 

elderly prelate who held a banner which 

stated "Better Dead than Redl" "I disagree 

with the nunlâr freeze arguuent that ay 

fellow olergyaen have ohosen to espouse. 

They clearly deny supporting a freeze, our 

nation's right to resist attack and tyranny 

from unjust ..'^ressors, and they Ignore th& 

spreading threat of Soviet Coamunisa." 

• "I disagree," countered Archbishop 

G'Friese. "It is an important tima for us 

now to get involved in an issue of global 

consequence. By developing a theology of 

peaoe, we can ohfcllenge the fundamental 

assumptions and defense strategies of every 

Amerloan administration since the beginning 

of tho nuolear age. By attacking the 

doctrine of nuclear Jeterrenee, we can show 

ttiat the policy creates and maintains a 

balance of terror which could all too easily 

lead to a holocaust. The ohurch must tell 

the Reagan Administration that it is offended 

by the cost of maintaining deterrence, whioh 

takes money away from programs for the poor." 

I decided to Join the_discussion. "How, 

listen, fellas, there'll no way you nan 

present a united statement of opposition 

towards Reagan's nuolear arms policies if you 

dot't put your arguments down in writing. 

Vtif don't you write a letter demanding that a 

nuolear freeze be established?" 

"I don't like the word 'freeze,'" said one 

arohblshop. "It sounds too temporary to be 

effective." 

"How about 'curb,'" I ventured. 

•The word sounds as though the use of 

nuclear wsapons is controlled, but actually 

not halted," said O'Friese. 

•Don't like it at all," responded Hawkins. 

It's too permamnt. The woi-dlng nceda to be 

more flexible tf we're going to roslst the 

communist threat." . 

Ibe prelates, I knev, had focused on the 

Issue, but were quibbling over the use of 

words that-accentuated their rnspaotivo 

positions: I Jumped into ay oar and drove 

r.ff, .leaving tbs five man to continue their 

debate by the slda of the roadway.

As the nunber of United

have hostilities and 

tensions between the U.S. 

and the countries of 

Europe. 

Aovocates of keeping 

American allltary forces In 

Europe declare that these 

troops are necossary >o 

protect Europe froi the 

naarby coaaunlst throat of 

the Sovlat Union. If this 

Is true, why do so wtany 

European citizens oppose 

having American troops 

Inhabiting their couitrles7 

United States' troops are 

resented rathar than 

appro'lated by nany 

Europeans. As a result, 

these troopc have no power 

and ere superfluous. The 

•oney thaU.i. governuent 

Is spending on unnecessary 

ragraonts stationed In 

Europa could be spent on 

education. Social Security, 

or He.1lcare at hono. 

Evan If .taS. trooos were 

useful In Europe, It would 

not Justify their presence 

thorn. This presence goes 

against tha basic 

principles upon which this 

country was founded. The 

first American colonlot 

were settled by people 

escaping from government 

Interference In their 

lives. These colonies 

declared their Independence 

and fougM a revolution In 

order to be free of the 

imposition of British 

troops stationed In thotr

It dow not seem right 

that the U&. government Is 

forcing Its -troops on the

-Alan Chan/Lisa Cogar- 

• SCREECH! BAHG1 THUD! To rae those 

sounds are all too familiar. One 

sunny day a couple of months ago, I 

went on a bike trip to Sausalito with 

some friends. On the road leading to 

Sausalito I ran over some gravel on a 

turn and skidded into a ditch. 

Unfortunately for me, I wasn't wearing 

a helmet, long pants, or a longsleeved 

shirt. I was not a pretty 

sight. I got up, stunned and not too 

aroused, to view the damage-first to 

the bike and then to myself. The bike 

was great except for a few minor 

scratches but as for myself, let's 

just say I looked like Indiana Jones 

would have if he had been dragged 

behind a truck without the padding. 

I have to admit, though, that I was 

qoing pretty fast around the turn, 

that my tires were almost bald and I 

wasn't wearing any safety gear. - I 

know -y.ou'-ro probably saying tr 

yourself, "stupid!" I agree. i. 

'learned a little too late about fie 

importance of bike safety. Next t.rae 

I'll know to take better care o£ my 

bike and myself. 

The swish of a basket hitting 

nothing but net irora 25 feet out. The 

arc of o well hit ball with tn 

accurately placed iron shot landing 

just in front of the pin. These 

actions ace routinely initiated by 

practitioners who have developed wellhoned 

skills from constant practice. 

Dedication, perseverance, and 

discipline, are words that come to mind 

when one thiakc of an athlete 

developing hi? cr her particular 

skills to a point where it becomes 

secondary nature* These are the same 

characteristics that a person will 

.Irive to develop in order to become a 

success in school or later in a 

caroei..- The striving for competence 

which eventually will lead to the 

fulfillne.it of a goal usually gets its 

start when a boy or girl wants to 

become better at a particular sport 

and works constantly to become more 

proficient at It. These work habits 

are. then transferred to other 

pursuits. '[' 

'•; Mot" many of us can ever hope to be a 

John McEnroe or a Julius Erving,as 

dedication alone can not overcome 

physical limitations. Yet, we can 

well appreciate the skills shown by 

gifted athletes as we ourselves strive 

to become better* at the sport of our 

choosing. . The star athlete has 

reached his. potential and we 

vicariously share in his triumph Cor 

..w* can understand the sacrifice ha hac 

given to attain it. That is probably 

wh peoplevnot in the arena can;so 

enjoy sports. .

"Ten minutes and counting...," I mumbled to 

myself as 1 calculated the quickest route to my nex; 

class. 

Why such silly thoughts? Because I was determined 

to get to d*rs early, so that I could grab a good 

seat by all my friends. 

Despite the silly reason. I could feel my pulse racing 

in anticipation of the race ahead. 

At exactly seven minutes before class, I made a 

mad dash for the stairway,..! weaved my way 

through the traffic until finally, the doorway was in 

sight. With a -Illy grin on my face, I rushed Into the 

classroom. 

"Oh no!" 1 cried out In horror. The room was 

already filled with bickering students, and Uure was 

only one empty seat left. Anger slowly replaced my 

Initial surprise, i a tumped to the table at the bock of 

the classroom and planted myself In the seat. 

And so I sa:...and sat. rubbing elbows with three 

other kids. I wondered why there wertn't enough 

regular desks for all of us. 1 realize the sc!iool runs 

on a tight budget, but I'm worth it. - 

As I contemplated sucb matters, 1 noticed that 

more and more people were coming Into tbc room. It 

was getting noisier and nobler by the second, The 

people started to pUs up like a suck of checkers 

pUccd precariously on top of one another. My head 

began to pound. I sank lower in my seat. As the miS 

closed In on me from all directions, 1 frantically 

. covered my eyes. Then all of a sudden, everything 

faded into a silent darkness... 

The next thing I knew, s sharp pain was piercing 

my ribs. I cmugi*; my breath, hoping the pain wjuld 

go away. T.-.J that It was Just c silty dream. But as I 

cleared my groggy head. I realized the girl sitting

No swim class annoys seniors 

ByCaroUaeL** 

A question voiced by many 

Lowell wafers ibis semester is why 

lure Lowell xwinmlcg courses 

been dropped when there are 

many who must learn to swim as a 

requirement for high school 

graduation? 

The principal reason for the 

cancellation of swimming courses 

is the S900 million cut from for 

educational budget bjr the governor 

of the Suit of California. 

Six teaching positions at Lowell 

have been eliminated due to the 

budget cutback, and this accounts 

for the lots of 30 classes whkh 

were available during the 1982-83 

school year. 

Dr. Alan Flbbh. Lo» " principal, 

staled, "We have anew., 

to minimize the impact ui 

budgetary restraints on students, 

yet the fact still remain* that we 

cannot do the same things with 

less money.** 

Flblsh explained that, as the 

principal of an academic nigh 

school, be Is obligated to offer lo 

the students aeademk courses that 

are requited for college admtsilon. 

Seniors who are concerned 

about the swimming class 

cancellation must realize- that Ihey 

are only guaranteed four sollrii. he 

noted. It was a privilege to have 

additional courses, such as swimming, 

offered In previous years. 

tut now the school system cannot 

provide the resources to maintain 

train classes. 

•\11 scnlon who cannot swim, 

especially those planning early 

graduation, should not delay 

i-nrofling for swimming instruction 

jutslde of schocl. utilizing community 

resources. 

Although there is a possibility 

•wlmming may be offered In the 

spring wmeticr. this cannot be 

guaranteed, ccrordlng to Fibish. 

Fiblsh candidly commented, "If 

additional money was isiued for 

the school budget, it would be used 

u hire a new biological ickncc 

teacher, rather lh«n fund a iwlraming 

class." 

Lack of funding delays library expansion 

**• 

ByMcUnlefUmc* 

Due to the lack of funds, the 

library expansion and rcmodelit* 

originally planned lasi spring has 

been delayed. 

According to Dr. Alan Flblsb, 

principal, the school dUtrkt had 

plans to pay for the expansion 

from funds obtained from the sale 

of surplus school property. 

Fiblsh stated, "Last spring an 

auction was held, and no bldt for 

the property were made." 

"School official* an working on 

changing the zoning of the property 

in order to make It more 

salabk," Fibish further explalncu. 

The Lowell Parent-Teacher 

Association (PTA) has plans to 

make a direct appeal to the mayor 

for library expansion fuotl*. 

Library construction cannot 

take place until the school property 

has been sold and funds become 

nvaUabk. 

Funding problems havt bcreav 

** statewide when a ma}or education 

appropriation bill was vetoed 

by Governor George Deukmcjlan. 

"Htd It (the bill) passed, it 

would have contributed nearly 

5900 million to public education. 1 

Fibish pointed out. 

Three Lowell spirit squads enjoyed life at camp. 

She maintained that their success 

resulted from their pep and drive.

Wesley Wing- 

The crunching of •shoulder pads, the blowing of | 

whistles, the throwing of little yellow flags, the 

aroma of hot dogs. «nd. of course, the screaming of 

song girls usually signify not only the beginning of 

Lowell football, but ihe beginning of fall sports at 

Lowell - 

ft is also time for the rest of the school to get off 

thtir «als and go to the games and give our teams 

some support and encouragement. 

Fan support can make a big difference in a close 

gamr. Late in the game when Lowell might need a 

touchdown or a goal, the fans can usually get tne old 

adrenalin pumping. The result is usually some instant 

offense or some outstanding goal line defense. 

.Remember, the fans usually make up the twelfth 

man on the field. 

_. Do you think thc49crs. an (heir wa> to the Super 

EJWI. would have scored that winning touchdown * 

against Dallas in '81 if they had been playing in 

Dallas, instead of at Candlestick Park.' I doubt it. It 

was probably the 49cr faithful that gave them that 

little extra to score. 

What happens if you cannot tcl! it touchdown 

from a homirun? It docs not matter. The most important 

thing is being there and cheering or..- team 

on. 

So. good luck to all the teams this season and all 

.you prospective fans; get out there and have some 

fun. 

Is it to early to catch 49er fever apain? Or is it just 

£ cold? 1 think it is just the right time to get it. The 

49ere look even belter this season than they did a: 

Super Bowl XVI. 

The former world champions have one of the most 

diviTsiiied offenses in the National Football Liaguc. 

thinks to the addition of Wendell Tylci- Roger 

Cruig. and the emergence of Bill Ring. Last year 

the Niners did not have a consistent running attack. 

Result. Quarterback Joe Montana was forced to 

pass almost constantly and face pass rushes every 

down. If the opponents this year pass rush on every 

down, they might see a Tyler, a Craig, or J Ring run 

. through a hole Or turn a corner and be gone for a 

touciid'.-wn. 

The 49er ciefelic seems to be back to Super Bowl 

level, thinks to.a reborn pass rush and a more experienced 

defensive secondary. 

1 an going out on a limb and making some early 

predictions. If the 49ers do not suffer any key in-' 

juries, they will win the NFC West. The Nincrs will 

go on to meet rival Dallas in the NFC Championship, 

and beat them. San Francisco will go on to 

meet the Loi Angeles Raiders in Super Suwl XVIII 

- with the San Francisco 49crs coming out on top.

CONGRATULATIONS. CONGRATULA- 

TIONS, and CONGRATULATIONS again to the 

vanity fcolhai: team on its tint win this season 

against Washington. You really showed the fans an 

old-fashioned comebaek. 

The team could have token another loss alter 

trailing at the end of the Mrst half 14-0. but the team 

spirit wouldn't die as llie squad came hack and won 

21 • ••4. 

It seemed that the whole team got into the act. 

The offense really showed so;,ie poise, scoring not 

only once, but twice, on drives with a mix of the pass 

and (lie run. The Indians needed to make a twopoint 

conversion in order to tie the score. They were 

n;> lo mo task as the score was tied 1-t-M with lime 

running out. 

The defense should also, take a bow. The opposing 

team scored twice in th» first half, tmt an entirely 

different Lowell defense came oitt fnr the second 

half, as they shut-out the liagtcs. The defense bent, 

but ihcy never i»roke. 

The ttlggcM iuuml (it u;',»l.u:.c has I.. ;'..t: 

sDccial teams. Thvv not only blocked the potential 

winning field goal, but they blocked a kick and 

rambled almost the length ot the field for the winning 

touchdown as well. 

I think everyone would have been happy «*th 

Lowell varsity football winning ' ne game this yejr. 

>>ut not the team itself. They went right back on; the 

next week and beat Mission. It w.is really no contest 

as Lowell dominated the Bears. The Indians rolled 

to-.28-1.'"in. 

* • • 

Why is the USI'L still making the news when their 

season has been over fnr a couple of months? 1 don't 

think it would be if it weren't for two men named 

Howard Slushcr and Donald Trump. 

Trump, who is the owner of the USFL's New 

Jersey Generals, just can't leave well enough alone. 

K's not enough that he '-.ircd star tunning brek 

Her*chcll Walker away from Georgia with a inultimillion 

dollar contract, but then he wanted Don 

Shula. head coach of t!ie Miami Dulphi.i.*. to coach 

his Genera! for *i rcportt-d SI million contract. 

Thank goodness Cojrli Shula turned him down. 

Tha. will show Tramp that money can'i buy 

everything. 

Trump also made an idiot of himself and the 

USFL by saying that ilie league vmild be playing on 

tl.e sttir.c level as the NFL in two or three years, lie 

said this on the NFL Today and NFL '83. Let's be 

serious. The USFL doesn't have the quality players, 

the same amount of funs, and certainly not the 

media coverage that the NFL has. frump should 

have said ten yean and not two yeats. 

Slushcr is another one of those people who would 

have told Eve to cat the fruit even if she knew the 

consequences. He's out to «!2hc ^;cn*'v for 'aimself 

and nobody else. This is an example of how Slushcr 

makes his monry. A USFL team will make an offer 

to sign a plavcr. and then Slushcr will i;o to an NFL 

team and tell about the offer, and the team •viH 

make a counter offer. This bidding ior a player 'till 

result in a huge, gigantic contract for the player 

and-a nice commission for Slushcr. If (his bi'Jding 

for pliycrs continues, the NFL will lose snnv; r' its 

. better players and make a lot of ngents happy.

When asked to comment on the coming event that 

precedes winter vacation known as "holiday shopping," 

a number of Lowell students exclaimed'. "Holiday 

shopping? Holiday shopping!! #SI%cSll!" or as 

translated. "Oh Nol What am 1 going to do?". 

In order to help these and other flounurring 

students with their shopping dilemma, the orgarizntion 

known as HELP (Holiday Energy Less Prevention) 

has formulated a schedule which should assist 

studrnts In keeping track of how they should shop and 

when they should do it.

r"Time Out- Lacic of experience plagues JV's 

-Wesley Wing- 

Well, well, well, hrm about our varsity football 

team? They never cease to amaze me. For those of you 

who didn't follow varsity football this season, let me 

tell you what ycu missed. 

Lowell beat Washington, which was in the AAA 

championships, to end a 16-game losing streak. They 

upset heavily favored McAteer and, in doing so, 

eliminated them from the playoff picture. The Indians 

made the playoffs by trouncing the Lincoln Mustangs 

in a real laugher. This was Lowell's first appearance in 

the playoffs since the 1980 searon. and the first time 

the team finished the regular sesson above the .500 

mark since 1980. 

Unlortunateiy, Lowell did lose to Galileo in the 

playoffs, but that shouldn't dampen a great season. 

Congratulations again! 

Kow about our I25's basketball team? Excise me, 

'.he 1983 AAA champions, who finished undefeated 

this season 

The team just dominated everyone in the league, 

' finishing the regular season with an 8-0 mark. In the 

finals, it was the Michael Matsuno show. He scored 20 

points, leading the team to victory. The team's strong 

points had to be the excellent defense and ball handling 

i>y David Inouyc and Mark Toyooka. and the 

•>r?upcrior : full court press • applied by the team. 

Every "time un oppon:nt laced the press, there was 

either t turnover or a walking violation on the «*opo. 

ncnt.

Orwell's vision proves largely false 

ca 

That year — 1984 — the most politically mean* 

ingfu! imr digits since George Orwell made them the 

title of hu famous work Is finally here. 

Few Lowell students esc»pe the halls of academia 

without hearing some fragment of Orwell's dark war* 

ning. without encountering Oceana. Newspcak. or 

Big Brother. 

What eiactly wu Orwell Irving to say? Wu he > 

prophet or Just paranoid? 

Bora Eric Blair in 1903. Orwell was an Etoneducated 

son of rn!ddte-c!ai» parents who sought to 

hide his bourgeou'se origins in poverty, who uied a 

pesudonvmn to spare his mother's feelings, and who 

subscribed to hi: o»l. brand of socialism. 

In 1984. Orwell descried a world of three 

totalitarian superpowers constantly battling - oter 

Musicians need $'s 

Over the yean, there has been a decline in funds 

illocaied to the public schools caused chiefly by the 

ilter-shock effects of Propotiiion 13. Although mu»lc 

programs have often suffered the brunt of these cut' 

backs. Lord, still offers the most diversified and 

largest number oi mvt'c classes in the city. 

Each year. Lowell receives 51.600 lo repair the 200' 

plus instruments, as well as (o tune setcrai pianos, 

and tl.SOO to purchase new mutic. Prohjhly thr mmi 

shocking effect of cutbacks has been that the per* 

student allocations has not ocen increased in over 20 

years. 

Th- small stipends from the school district arc not 

enough to keep the program running. As a result, the 

musical groups must take fund raising efforts in their 

ovn hands, often sacrificing vatuabl: rehearsal time. 

Cutbacks have also affected middle and elementary 

schools. Many sites do not offer music programs at 

all. This hurts the caliber of Lowell's performing 

groups in that many students join the program a* 

beginners in the 9th grade. 

The program, however, will wrathcr the storm. 

Lowell stilt offers an Advanced Placement music 

theory course, three bands, three orchestras, and 

three piano classes, in addition to numerous 

aftenchool activities, many organized by itudcnts. 

These groups Include two jazz bands, a dUic band, 

and a theatre orchestra. 

Recently, the advanced band and orchestra classes 

were designated u meeting the University of California 

fine arts requirement which wilt affect classes 

graduating after 1985. 

At a recent band concert, given by another high 

school, about 30 students performed to an audience 

the same size. The over 100 Lowell music students 

perform icmi*hnnua) concerts to nearly full houses. 

Let's hope that this support, thoujth it may not be 

financial, will continue. 

L what's left on earth.Occana. the state which Includes new technology. 

Britain and the \mericas. li run by an omniponent 

figure know.l simply as Big Brother, who heads the

In Ocean*, a :iny minority of the population called

They use id- «ced technology (e.g. two way television

seems to possess thoughts of his own. 

The Party keeps Oceana always at wai- to stay In 

power and updates written accounts of the past to 

meet current Party needs. 

19S4 was not a prediction per se: it's not likely that 

Orwell thought that Britain or the United Stales 

would become like Oceana. Rather, the book warns 

against 3 strongly centralized government in the era of

CheerleadingM- a 

ByUlyLam 

What are "he origins of cheerlcadlng? 

No one knows for sure, but cheerteadlng U 

believed to have started In ancient tlrrej 

whrn people gathered along the side of the 

road to cheer for their warrior* who were 

returning home. 

Checrleadiog did not receive any attention 

until the 1660's when it sprang up 

during competitions on Ivy League ram* 

puses. Checrlcadlng soon spread 

throughout America; however. It was not 

organized until the turn o( the centur/. 

Cheerleading was quite different then 

because atl a cheerleader had to do was 

direct a crowd in reciting short chant* that 

rhymed, such at "rah. rah. siscumbahl" 

Nowadays, chccrleading demands a lot 

of time and involve* many responsibilities. 

It is considered a sport because it requires 

a lot of gynwaitics. flexibility, accuracy. 

and precision. 

Cheerleader', are expected to promote 

school spirit and support athletic teams. 

In eucnec. they represent the school. 

•n order to hrcomc a cheerleader, nnc 

mutt be physically fit. ha*c a parent's con 

sent to try out. and maintain at lean a C* 

average. Enthusiasm and a positive attitude 

which will inspire spirit in other 

people are additional requirement*. 

Cheerleader* have to be able to work well, 

communicate, anl listen lu others 

ChecttcaJini; entails both a great financial 

and time commitment. Cheerleaders 

must purcha%c their own uniform*, pom* 

pomv. and other ncce\*ary itcmt. In addition 

to practices during the school year, attendance 

at a summer cheer lead ing camp 

with the squad h necessary. 

"From the day you become a 

cheerleader, your school life becomes 

toUHy different." slated Ethan Pak. varsity 

cheerleader. "You wouldn't expect to 

spend so much time on it."

Although chcerleading does imerfcre 

with their school work slightly, Lowell's 

cheerleaders enjoy their role In school 

lpiril. By cheering for teams and at rallies, 

cheerleader* fee 1 like they are an Integral 

part ol the school. 

Lettcrgirl Anna Mok remarked. 

"Cheerlcadlng promotes school spirit and 

tort's Important, especially at Lowell 

because of the pressures here. It 

(checrlcading) relieve? the strains of constantly 

studying/ 

Fellow lettergirl Lillian Step toe added. 

"It's a good way to rcllnc tension: you go 

out there and yell and cheer...and go 

crazy!" 

Many cheerleaders agree that 

chcerleading docs involve a lot of work; 

however, it all seems worthwhile wnen a 

team winr. a ganv. when they can involve 

oth*r students, or when they bring home 

honors and trophies from their summer 

camp. 

Most of Lowell's cheerleader* cio not Intend 

ID become professional cheerleaders 

when they leave high school. Although 

some enjoy toying with the Idea, they 

rcalUe that professional checrlcading i& 

extremely competitive and very fr» people 

break Into (he field. 

From their checrlcading eipcnsncc. 

most seem to have learned how to 

cooperate and compromise, and how to be 

both leaders and followers. They hare 

learned to accept and cope with criticism, 

competition, and discipline, and at the 

same lime have gained self esteem and 

respect 1 from what l&ey an* doing. 

ChecrkadinK often hat a (Jra\t.c effect

Overall. Lowell cheerleaders *fine that 

chccrleading is a very rewarding experience. 

h ut it is not et-y. It it fun. but 

requires a lot of work, cooperation, and 

devotion in order to be successful.

According to the school district,

\ 

-Wesley Wing- 

. The San Francisco 49ers may have lost the NFC 

Championship to the Washington Redskins, but it was 

not entirely their fault. 

It wasn't Joe Theismann's passing or John Riggins' 

running that did most of the damage to the 49crs, There 

were three main factors that contributed to the 49er loss: 

terrible officiating, poor special team play, and poor 

communication of the offensive plays. 

The officials were sloppy and incompetent. Two 

ciucinl penalties, pass interference and defensive 

holding, helped the Redskins a great deal on their winning 

drive. 

The officials said that on the pass interference penalty, 

cornerback Eric Wright was called for pushing receiver 

Art Monk in the back. True. But the ball landed three 

yards out of bounds and, according to the rules, pass interference 

can only be called if the ball was catchable. If 

Monk could have caught that pass while staying in 

bounds, he would have had to drag his knuckles on the 

ground. 

The other penalty, defensive holding on cornerback 

Ronnie Lott. was questionable to say the least. It seemed 

the smurf, Charlie Brown, ran into Lou's arm, locked 

himself there, and made it look like holding. It was mucli 

ton close for an official to make such a crucial call at that 

point in the championship game. Instant replays for 

""those'type of plays would have been more than appropriate. 

Let's not blame the officials for everything, even 

though they deserve it. 

The special teams choked several times. Someone 

should tell Tom Orosz that a seven-yard punt doesn't 

make it in the NFL today or any other day. Also. Ken 

Ferrari, who is supposed to make sure the punter punts 

and nothing else, lost containment on the punter Jeff 

- Hayes allowing him to run for a first down. Another key 

mistake was made by punt returner Dana McLemore. He 

should have just gone down when one Redskin had a firm 

grip on his jersey. Unfortunately, he didn't, and someone 

hit him as he was turning around, resulting in a 

fumble and a turnover. 

There was also some bad communication between the 

bench and quarterback Joe Montana. This led to 

timeouts being called, one in each half. These timeouts, 

especially the one in the stcond-half, proved very costly 

in the closing minutes of the game. 

Nevertheless, the 49ers played a great game and 

deserve the respect of everyone, especially the 

Washington Redskins and the Las Vegas odds-makers 

who made the 49ers lOVi point underdogs.

It looks like the USFL is at it again, drafting potential 

number one NFL draft-picks ant! signing free agents 

froa the NFL. It usually bothers me when it happens 

around the league, but even more so now that the New 

Jersey Generals of the USFL have signed two or possibly 

three of the 49erj. They are linebacker* Bobby Leopold 

and Willie Harper, and possibly nose tackle Peter 

Kugler. What ever happened to loyalty? I guess it doesn't 

mean too much when players get contracts that end in 

five or six zero*.' _ - -

Hopes for detente 

KoosUutlin Ustlnovich ChcmcnVo 

(pronounced Cuer-NYEN-io) b the 

new leader of the Soviet Union. He 

repUeei Yuri Andropov, who died of 

kidney failure alter a mysterious dbap* 

pearance from the public eye for nearly 

tU months of his IS-month rule. 

Chernenko. 72, b the oldest man tn 

Soviet history to take over the Com** 

munbl Party. As only the sixth leader 

or the U.5.S.R. since Vladimir Unin In 

1917. Chcrncnko's career as « member 

of the Soviet's ruling elite was based 

largely on his position a% an aide to 

former Premier Leonid Brezhnev, 

though he Is also known tor hb 

specialization in propaganda and 

organizational work. 

ThU new leader b described by many 

as a dull, inartVu-'alc man who lacks 

charisma, but he has managed an In* 

credible comeback alter Andropov 

defeated him in the struggle for po»cr 

when Brezhnev died In 1982. 

Known for conservatism. Chernenko 

will most likely not sway from basic 

Soviet policies toward Ihc United 

States. 

During Andropov's rule, promotion 

aftu anti-American sentiments had 

resulted in a straining of Atuorican- 

Soviet relations and a collapse of arms 

talks. But now. there appear* ippeai to be 

signs of Soviet willingness to c&sc ten 

lions. Both In his eulogy for Andropov 

and at a meeting with Vice President 

George Bush. Chernenko avoided bla* 

tant denunciation of the U.S. 

American leaders l*avc also attemp* 

ted to cool the heat generated by recent 

frictions between our two countries, 

though President Ronald Reagan's 

decision to not attend Andropov's 

funeral can be questioned as being not 

altogether the means for achieving such 

an end. 

Chernenko seems to want better relalions 

with the U.S. But if anything 

pen!live it to come of it. both iides muit 

act like civilized people. Let there be an 

end to name-calling and fingerpointing. 

It b sitly for the U.S. to hope to make 

the entire world a bastiknn of 

democracy, but it h equally ahiurd for 

(he Soviet Union to aipirc to world 

dominatioit *udcf the communist rule. 

Why can't we simply accept the fact 

that we are two nations operating under 

two different and separate systems of 

government and Ideology? 

With Chernenko as the new Kremlin 

leader, let ••• hope that it is compromise 

and prace that lk*s in the future and not 

war. 

EDB scare: oversight? 

In the recent furor over carcinogens 

found In the United State** grain sup* 

piles, consumers have been bombarded 

by abbrcvMtions such as E.D.B.. 

E.P.A.. F.D.A.. N.C.I.. R.P.A.R.. 

and U.S.D.A.. terms which in 

themselves are enough to lnstl.1 confusion 

if not fear. 

But what do they mean? 

The pesticide ethylene dibromide, 

otherwise known as E.D.B.. has been 

used by fanners tn soil and post-harvest 

fumigation. During 1974. E.D.B. wu 

first suspected of being a cancer* 

ciusing agent. 

A question arises that if E.D.B. was 

recognized back In 1974 to cause cancer 

in laboratory animals and could be 

possibly lU^:?d to genetic defects and 

reproductive disorders, why wasn't Immediate 

action taken to bait th*j use of 

the controversial fumlgant? 

Once found to be a health hazard, 

plans to prevent the use of E.D.B. were 

brought to ft standstill as a vicious «• 

change developed between 

agriculturalists and environmentalist*.. 

As the bickering continued, tainted 

packages of cake ulxes, tortllU flour, 

and peanuts were making their way 

from the supermarkets to the hoires of 

America. Finally, offidab banned the 

use of E.D.B.. citing tLe problem as a 

"long-term, chronic, and unacceptable 

health risk." The shame of it all b that 

ll *M>k so long before meaningful action 

wa\ taken. 

Consumers in the past expected and 

demanded uniformly high standards In 

the products they consumed, and certainly 

did not waut surprise findings in 

the foods they had used. Unfortunately. 

tUtt. latest incident b the most recent of 

many exposes that have caused the 

breach ol confidence tc widen between 

the consumer and producer. It has 

come to a point where a skeptical public 

U becoming immune to new revelations 

and thinks that practically nothing b 

untainted. 

Students from the United States are 

constantly being unf.ivorabl) compared 

to their foreign counterpart* and to 

previous generations of American 

students by means of standardized 

testing. 

The product of any system, however, 

can only be as good as Its ingredients. 

ThU don not mean that any one 

aspect of the present educational 

system Is solely to blame for the poor 

performance of today's students. But, 

considering that the teacher is a major 

"ingredient" in the learning process, he 

must be appraised as a principal factor. 

If this b so. the future for education in 

America looks dim. 

According to the results of the 

California Basic Educational Skills Test 

(CBEST). many of todcy's. and tomorrow'*, 

teachers arr not qualified to be 

teaching. 

CBEST ts a test of basic skUb In 

mathematics, read!ng. and writing. It b 

not a test'of teaching skills. But ptusln^ 

the test Is necessary for any student 

wbhtng to become a teacher, or any 

current teacher wanting to teach In a 

new subject area. 

If a student on his way to becoming a 

teacher falls the test, he b given credit 

for any of the sections he passed and 

need only successfully retake the sec* 

tions tailed. If a current teacher fa. 1 !* to 

pass the CBEST. however, he cannot 

tca-"Ji In a new subject area, but he is 

still permitted to teach hb previous 

courses, regardless of hb test results. ' 

••'.$$ * 

In Julj of last year, 34 percent of the? 

people taking the CBEST far a teaching': 

credential failed. Of the currently full-"; 

time teachers who took the test, 32 per-" 

cent did not pass, and of the college 

students, 34 percent flunked, > 

These scores slightly lowered the 

year's total fraction of passing scores/ 

for test*takers attempting to gain their 

teaching credentials. The final pass 

record in this ana for 1983 was 68 per* 

cent. 

The significance of these figures, 

however. Is not in the actual pus/fail 

percentages. Most Importantly. . the 

figures show that the teaching profession 

b not attracting high-quality 

students. 

Teachers' scores cannot be compared 

with those of law, engineering, or ; 

medical students because these people 

are not required to take the CBL'TT. 

However, when compared to the 

pass/IaU percentages of those people 

taking the same lest for crcdentiab In 

administrative, ilbrarlanshlp. or 

clinical rehabilitation .services, the 

marks of the teachers are considerably 

lower. 

Whether the reason b financial, 

social, or otherwise, it appears that 

teacher quality has been dropping. 

Teaching is a critically Important pro* 

fcsiion. and along with the rest of the 

educational system, the commitment to 

excellence shouM be America's highest 

priority. 

A search for 

the 'right 9 crowd 

*Thb semester I'm going to be 

popular," Bill reassures himself at he 

climbs up the stairs to reach hb third 

floor locker. "I'm going to know the 

'nghl people' and hang around the 

'right crowd.* ** 

Easier said than done. Bill soon 

realizes that he doesn't know who the 

"right people" arc. Thus begins hb 

odyssey into the "land of cliques..." 

Hb first stop U the third floor computer 

room. 

"How did you do on your A.P. 

Physics test?" goes Ihc question. 

"Oh, I did all right." comes the 

answer. "By the way. how were your 

A.?, chemistry and calculus tests?" 

Bill b not presently enrolled In those 

cUsses, so he totes Interest and decides 

to leave. Besides, he doesn't know If be 

b an Apple-User or a Commodore 64* 

User. 

He then goes down to a certain room 

on the second floor where members or a 

certain student government board 

gather. 

"Did you hear that someone outside 

of our circle b going to run for office 

this year?" asks a certain officer. 

"You're kidding me!" responds a se* 

cond officer in a very attonbhed tone. 

Oh. well. BUI was never very in* 

terested in politics... He walks by room 

135 and decides to check out the forca* 

dies team. 

"Are you going to Congress this 

weekend?' (tit first debater asks the second 

debater. 

"No, but I'm going to the I.E. next 

weekend." the second debater replies to 

the first debater. "I think I'll do an 

O.P.P. If 1 don't hit a double ruby, 

maybe I'll have a chance to break." 

Confu-ion Is the last thing Bill needs. 

His search continues... He walks 

toward the bane/orchestra t joru. 

"Stay out of our path, wimpl" snarls 

a robust-looking fellow. Well. BUI isn't 

cut ou* to be a courtyard jo-V anyway 

But joining the jazz band for BlU Is 

jl of the question too, because he 

doesn't know how to play any In* 

struments...The journal Urn room b 

now a convenient flight of stairs away. 

"How can I get on the staff?" Bill 

humbly asks the editor. 

"First you have to satisfactorily complete 

Journalbm I," the editor replies. 

Then you have to fight for stories 

among the sixty-plus reporters on the 

statr. Tnat's right, kid. it's a dog cat 

dog world. Any more questions?" 

BlU relinquishes the Idea of working 

on the staff and wanders toward the 

ROTC room. 

"Are you brca'i dancing this Friday 1 

night?" BUI cannot help overhearing. 

Mo. this group bn't right cither. 

BUI runs out of the place to explore. 

Although he hasn't found the "right 

crowd,- he docs discover something — ' 

ciiqu« ire here to stay, for belter cr

and 1981-42 — pluk recurring 

bouts of soaring unemployment 

rates and double-digit inflation. 

Ihb ration Is now making an 

economic recovery. 

The lacton affecting the return 

lo a healthy economy are 

numerous and varied, but the ma* 

Jor spark, behind the upturn WAS a 

deebkm in mid-1982 by U.S. 

Federal Reserve Board chairman 

Paul Volcker to pull back on the 

(even of monetary restraint. The 

mult was that the money supply 

tipandcd and prime interest rate* 

dropped. 

With lower Interest rates and 

reduced Inflation, combined with 

more Jobs* tax cuts and Income 

gains, consumer spending has in* 

created, spurring on the economic 

recovery even more* 

Most noticeable are the improvements

wver the salesof the previous )ear. 

If the spending "spree** continues. 

It may mean further 

economic eipanslon. 

Another key stage in tt.e 

recovery U the buildup of Inventories 

by businesses. As cash flow 

improves and business confidence 

picks up. capital spending, or investment, 

have Increased as companies 

seek to restock diminishing 

Inventories And Introduce new products 

to the market. 

The determinant behind this 

issue of activity is the surge In the 

nation's economic output, as 

charted by the Grots Natbni! Product 

(CNP). which measures the 

total output of goods and vrvkct 

lntheU.S.cvonomy. 

The many shifts in profitability 

and productivity can be traced to 

particular factors affecting certain 

industries. 

For instance, the slecl Industry

workers. By streamlining their 

operations and exercising cost con* 

trol. this smokestack industry has 

been able to raise the level of iv. 

manufacturing productivity.

the strength of our industrial productivity, 

but also the strength of 

our economy as a whole. 

But despite the "good times 

that the recovery seems to promise 

tor the future. Ihcre are • numb* r 

of less than favorable economic 

developments that loom ahead. 

One of our major concerns is the 

huge deficit thai grips the national 

economy. The V.S. public debt 

has reached over SI trillion. 

Unless the Increase in government 

deficit* Is checked, many 

auihoritics fear that financing *be 

heavy debt will push up interest 

ram and result In inflation. 

This would hurt the strength 

acd durability of the recovery by 

slowing the pace of consumer 

spending on durable*, moderating 

demand for hosing, and suppressing 

accumulation of Inventories. 

Presently, because Interest rates 

have not fallen to keep pace with 

inflation, there is concern over the 

possibility of another recession.

Reagan - an overview of his policies 

By Stephaafa Abuado 

"When I first addressed you 

from herj our national defenses 

were dangerously weak...we were 

the brisk o.~ economic collapse..." 

President Ronald 

Reagan informed the nation during 

his broadcast from the Oval 

Office January 29. MM. 

"Welt. mint* nave changed." 

be continued. "America i« tuck 

and standing it'i... But our work 

b not finlsrftd... t am therefore 

announcing that I am a candidate 

and will seek rt-e-ectlon lo the office 

I presently hold." 

Thus Reagan announced his 

candidacy for* second term in the 

Oral Office. Though Reagan's 

candidacy was known before he 

made this announcement, hit formal 

declaration was much 

awaited. 

Four years ago when Reagan 

was challenging then-President 

Jimmy Carter, he capitalized on 

the weaknesses of the Carter Administration 

by asking the 

American public. "Are you better 

off now than you were four yean 

ago?" 

Now. after Reagan has been In 

the same office for three years, the 

effectiveness of hb administration 

can be evaluated with the same 

'question. 

Is America better off now than It 

was three years ago? 

According to a Sewswetk 

magazine survey. 36 percent of all 

Americans billeve th/y are better 

off than they were when Reagan 

took office; 24 percent think they 

an worse off: and the majority. 39 

pcrccct think their position has 

notchanged. 

During his announcement. 

Reagan mentioned his at* 

complisbments. such as lower 

taxes, lower Interest rates, tower 

unemployment, lower Inflation, 

and • stronger defense. 

The new tax program that 

Reagan Initiated has lowered Uses 

to some extent for most people and 

businesses. He promises no new 

tax Increases. 

Due to the economic recovery. 

Interest rates have practically been 

cut In half. Unemployment has 

decreased by 2.6 percent from its 

all-time tilth in 1982. 

Inflation has dropped from «n 

annual rate of 14 percent to a 3.3 

percent rate In 1983. 

As a result of massive military 

budget increases, the military b no 

longer, according to Reagan. 

"dangerously weak." Defense 

spending now consumes 29 percent 

of the federal budget appropriation!. 

Defense spending in 

the 1985 hudtet Is 15 percent

Though those who think they 

are belle* off under the Reagan 

Administration outnumber those 

whocrmldcr themselves worse off. 

Reatan's policies hav« not tolved 

all of America's problems. 

The number of people living 

under the federal Poverty Une has 

increased under the Reagan Adtnlnlilrallon. 

and now itandt at 1$ 

percent. When former-President 

Lyndon Johnson declared his "war 

President Reagan at the 

crossroads: three years behind 

him and a challenging year 

ahead. 

on poverty** in the late I960'*, the 

percentage of thnse living under 

the federal poverty line was 

smaller than today's current rite. 

Reagan's new tax program gives 

same savings to everyone, but 

substantially benefits the rich and 

private butlneus. Families that 

cam $10,000 rr less annually, 

receive an annual lax savings of 

about S1S0. while those than earn 

over S80.000 save about SI4.000 

onuses. 

Programs s*ich .*t the child 

nutrition prngram, the Aid to 

Families Mth Dependent Children 

program, and the food wrap pro*

receiving budget cu;i. 

\lthough unemployment has 

decreased from 10.ft percent In 

I9A2. ib« cumni r*ie of A.2 percent 

is still higher than the 7.5 percent 

unemployment rate when 

Reagan took of fkr 

The present economic recovery 

it shadowed by a S180 billion 

deficit in the IW budget. During 

his term. Reagan, a supporter of a 

balanced budget amendment, has 

run up a total deficit of S72? 

billion. This Is about 400 percent 

larger than Carter's total deficit. 

U.S. relations with the U.S.S.R.

A strong dollar may be

policy — that would specify which

Despite the Inability to control 

all the factors affecting the

Muni theft a problem 

By Jeffrey GaMn 

What's the hottest Issue in city 

politics this oionth? The upcoming 

democratic national contention? 

Dan White's release from prison? 

No. The San Francisco 

Municipal Railway (Muni) has attraded 

the most political and 

media attention In recent weeks. 

Articles in the Sin Fnneixcr 

Examiner and the S*n Francisco 

ChronkJe have told alarming 

stories of the poor condition of 

Muni bum and large numbers of 

cottly equipmeni thefts which are 

plaguing the public transit system. 

In the fire! week of February. 30 

percent of all M-inl's dicscl buses 

were broken down. There were only 

367 of thete buses available for 

operation — 2S fewer than the 

minimum number ncccttary to 

carry out scheduled run*. 

For the many Lowell students 

••ho commute to school each day 

on the *I0. 18. 28. or 29 line*. c»tra 

loop wa»i at the bus stop were 

probably a direct result oi the inadequate 

number of operable 

buses. 

Equipment thefts are a much 

less apparent, but equal)* serious 

problem. Of the 35 reported thefts 

in 19*1. missing item Included: 

Gcissenhclmcr has been blaming 

the present maintenance and 

security problems on what he sees 

as the inept administration of his 

predecessors. Gcissenhelmer has 

been Muni's chief executive since 

November of 1942. 

"We're finding out a lot of 

things.** he said about previous 

Muni practices. "There have been 

no standards, no discipline, no 

basic honesty." 

Gcisscnheiir.tf has replaced 

many Mun! rr.xoagers since he 

took the job. and has been known 

lo tongue-lath subordlnaics whom 

he feels are not working well. 

Yet. unless he can bring about 

substantial improvements in the 

city's iranvlt micro very soon, 

CViwnheimer might ha»c to 

worry atom his own job security. 

In Fibruary. the Finance Committee 

of the Board of Supervisors 

turned down the Muni chiefs plea 

for 5300.000 to create six new 

macajterial portions. "I den't 

believe that any more money is going 

to solve any problems." Supervisor 

John Mollnari angrily told

would be beneficial for our 

children to hart an opportunity to

manner." 

Tiu. President seems to view bb 

proposed amendment as 

"beneficial.*' yet Reagan himself 

states that the purpose of the First 

Amendment b "to protect religion 

Irom the interference of govern* 

ment." What exactly is proposing 

constitutional amendments. If U 

cannot be termed governmental 

Intcfsrenca?

anywhere, at any time. Reagan's 

proposal h therefore absurd and 

unnecessary. When freedom of 

religion has already been granted. 

any further policies made by the 

government concerning religion, 

can only be seen as an Inappropriate 

advocatlon of religious 

practice. 

Reagan assures us that the Intricate 

wording of *be flnt amendment 

was not Intentionally poor. 

"The founders of our nation and 

the framen of the. First Amendment 

did not Intend to forbid 

public prayer." 

Mr. Reagan was not present at 

any of the Constitutional Conventions, 

nor «t U* flnt session of 

Congrcn wL*n the BUI of Rights 

was adopted. THUS he b hardly an 

authority concerning the Intentions

As for t'jc objections some

Reagan profoundly declares, 

"That's Just plain wrong.** An

Any Lowell student can submit 

poetry, ibort stories, or artwork to 

the M/riad, which comes oat once

While any student may submit a

"Because WE try if* keep the

**ThH year's staff H pretty pfcky.

According to Grant, more 

seniors contribute to the MyriMd 

than freshman and sophomores. 

She feels that many freshman and 

sophomores don't knoo about it.

more Integrated between the 

classes. "We try to get as much

To have or not to have: 

the modular schedule 

By Uah Karliner 

Mid Sarah Hudson 

Can you imaginr Lowell with 

totn period* ID a djy? Everyone 

•lining ana en-' ' at the umt 

tiroe?No one i.itu.^ .a ihe hall*. 

ciccptal lunch? 

Until the late !9W'i. that li 

whit Lowtil *A> I*fc- *.*cvrdin|i lo 

tttwher J«c!t Anderson. "The 

ufcool day w*s a rigid, lock-step 

icv-'n-pcrtadday." 

Lowell changed to modular 

scheduling In 1968 under the < 

direction of then-principal Uarton I 

Knowlc*. , ! 

Modular scheduling was part of 

the "Lowell Plan." ThU plen consisted 

of the following: the Implementation 

ol resource centers, 

a larger student government, more 

clccthes In the curriculum, and a 

modular schedule. 

Implementation of the "Lowell 

Plan" coti $60,000. and according 

lo Atthtint Principal Pau» Luccy. 

"...money w*s juit ai hard to get 

then at It ii now!" 

Anderson and Lucey were both 

on ihe commlitre whkh proposed 

modular scheduling for Lowell. 

"The mod tyitem was the brain 

child ol Barton Knowles. We had 

been distatiificd with the way 

classes were for some length of 

time. Know lev h^d the leadership 

to do vomclhing about it." explained 

Lutey. 

The mod system was initially 

enplojcd for three maiti reasons. 

The firu wa* m allow more time 

(or Independent and group study 

during the school day. The second 

was to make available lime lor 

student* to utc ihe resource* al 

school and meet with teacher* during 

mutual free time. The third 

wis to accommodate a larger ttu* 

dent body. 

These three objectives served to 

create the Lowell of today. 

At the time the motf inters was 

tint put into effect, there wu r. demand 

ill over the (dm try lor relevant 

education. Many schoolt eiper!-nented 

with different i>pcs ol 

modular scncduling. 

"Mod scheduling hat by and 

lifgt had its heydey, and many 

schools have abandoned it/* staled 

Principal Alan Fiblsh. 

When asked If he thought 

Lowell would net "abandon" ttu. 

mod system. Fibls.1 declared, "I 

don't think it would be postlble ;o 

change Lowell back to a traditional 

schedule because we 

baiicall) don't bave enough 

classroom lpaces." 

Although mod scheduling lends 

iis«ll to a belter quality school, 

there are some disadvantages to 

Lo«eU*i mod syili m. 

Lack of quiet study ipscc, 

trash, tad noise In the halls are 

three continuously noted problems. 

The main dltadv&nuge Is the 

nob* In the halls," %*iJ Luccy. 

"Frankly, we're stumped on how 

to correct It. unless we go back to 

study halls. We used to have study 

halls. Students had no free time 

except lunch. They couldn't be In 

lh- halls without a pass." 

The imJam is what Lowell 

students wem t- nally like about 

tbeaodsyitctn. 

Yet even student* who like the 

system tee prcblcmi with It. Junior 

D«bblc Hauscr nplslned. "The 

only problem ii for football garnet 

and other school events — people 

who have 19/20 rlauei alts out on 

half the gimesl If everybody got 

out at the tame time, the school - 

could schedule evcnti. and 

everybody could attend." 

Another, perhaps more serious 

problem, b that of students abusing 

the tyilern. According lo 

Anderson. "It only work* II you 

use modi one through twenty 

Finish added a warning to the 

student body. "If you like modular 

scheduling, you should take a 

19/20 class ai leatt half of the time 

you are here. If you are unwilling 

to go until 3:30. you're one of the 

forces that h going to steer ui Into 

a seven-period day." 

Ati-orcJIng to Fibtsh. "The 

'Lowll Plan** and modular 

scheduling combined, giving 

students the opportunity to make 

much more Intensive use of 

resources, are central elements to 

the school's success."

THE BALL- 

ALBERTS/CHAN 

Whatever happened to the ideals that the Olympics 

were supposed to epitomize? Themes like the 

brotherhood of man and the striving (or individual excellence 

seem to have fallen by the wayside. It now seems 

that national prestige is more important then the honors 

received by an athlete. No longer is it Carl Lewis competing 

against his tellow r-jnncrs, but the United States 

competing against the other nations of the world (in particular 

the U.S.S.K.). Medal-counting has now become a 

scorccard whereby one can judge which system produces 

the better athletes. 

The Olympics, in short, have become politicized in 

order to serve as an instrument of a nation's foreign 

policy. The victory of the U.S. hockey team in 1980 was a 

vindication of gocd over evil. In turn, the dismal shoving 

of the Americans in the recently concluded games in 

Sarajevo wns seen as a disgrace. This certainly *'js not 

the case, but a few ovcr-zcalous patriots saw it as their 

country's shaming. 

Consider the ever-present question of eligibility and 

also the problem wifh the use of steroids and other muscle 

building drugs. These issues have plagued the Olympics 

for years, but during the '84 Winter Games another 

difficulty arose that almost completely overshadowed the 

others. 

The dispute, as uny Olympic ski-jump or ice skating 

fan will tell yuu, is over officialion. 

Of the questionable rulings, the most evident was probably 

in the Nordic combined event where a top U.S. 

i-cntendcr (Pat Ahem) was practically "robbed" of s. 

medal due to two re-jump decisions. These decisions 

were made by an international jury composed, it seemed, 

solely of officials whose countrymen had t!onc poorly on 

he recalled jumps. 

Thai's not to say that the recalls ucrc not legal. The 

jumps were recalled because the jumpers were exceeding 

the safety limits of the hill. This means that the jumpers 

were landing near the flat of the hill, am' the jury con 

sidcrcd this too dangerous. It is possible mat the officials 

were truly concerned with the skiers' safety, but one can't 

help wondering. 

There was also controversy over the high scores given 

to seemingly unimpressive performances hy some 

skaters. This was particularly apparent in i\\~. women's 

figure skating event when American Tiffany Chin, failed 

to defeat a less exciting Soviet counterpart for the bronze 

medal despite her brilliant performance. 

Slight favoritism and bias on the part of thr jrriges in 

many of the other skating events practically achieved 

what could be termed bloc voting. This bloc division was 

effectively shown when there was an almost pcr! 

communist/non-communist division over whom should 

win the gold in the women's figure skating event. 

It is sad to say that the Olympics have evolved into 

such a sorry state from *hen it was first viewed, but these 

are the times in which we live.

Students caught in unfair crossfire 

As « result ol the school district's lack 01 funds to 

hire additional staff for extra-curricular activities, the 

teachers at Lowell arc being asked to take on responsibilities 

not directly involved with leaching. 

This has becoue 3 problem because soms teachers 

have felt that the administration has been demanding 

too auch from them. The resulting problem, 

horevcr, b that the students end up in the middle of a 

dbpdte between the teaching staff and the school's 

administration. 

It Is understandable why the teachers might protest 

an esccssive amount of work, when they were hired to 

*-^ • classrooms. The students should be eipposvd 

to a wide 

variety of experiences. The special programs and ac-. 

ttvllles that a school offers are for the benefit of Ihe 

student. 

The controversy over this year's tvermilsc U an example 

of a situation in which the students are caught 

in the middle. When Principal Alan Hjbh announced 

that «ch teacher had to supervise one athletic 

etent during the spring irrm. the foreign Innguage 

teachers objected. They felt that Fibith «u not considering 

Ihe large amount of lime they spead coordinating 

the Kerrressc. When Fibkh mandated the 

athletic supervisory uiipnmcnts. Ihe foreign language 

teachers unanimously cancelled the Kermesse. 

There is a possibility that the BSCS will sponsor a 

"multl-cullural event" in place of the Kermeuc. but 

whether or not they do, *Jie students are still the ones 

who are affected by the situation. While the administration 

and the teachers argue and disagree, who 

loses out? Inevitably, the students. 

There must be a better waj to handle this kfed of • 

situation so that the students are considered, whether 

it H some sort ol compromise or some otici agreement.

Reservists glorify WW II 

While the school admlnisirr.tion was quick to stamp 

out student efforts to create a c'.ub based on religion, 

it failed *r even notice a disturbing portrayal of war at 

Lo«cll. 

On March 12. approximately 60 Lowell students 

watched a shocking twenty minute demonstration of 

World War II battle tactics and equipment. Dresied 

in authentic uniforms, two men and one woman from 

the Army Reserve spoke to students from a CIvtes 2 

and a U.S. History 2 class in Room 220. 

After explaining the parts of the uniforms, the Array 

Reserve captain who narrated the presentation 

"volunteered'* one Lowell!tc to model a blick, SSstenciled. 

German battle helmet. The captain then 

demonstrated how American commandos would 

sneak up behind German soldiers and strangle them 

with their own helmets. 

Minutes later, aftei showing students how to load 

an M-l nrbinc, the captain discussed the Uct'cs thai 

American G|t employed against charging Japanese 

troops. Using a sheathed bayonet affixed to the carbine, 

the other male reservist demonstrated the 

"bayonet drill." a scries of slashing movements 

designed to "disembowel" opponents. 

The presentation was as biased as it * is grisly. It 

suggested that American forces were more intelligent 

and infinitely better equipped than their hapless 

enemies. WW II, ran the Implication, was a conflict 

between an army of undefendable John Waynes and 

packs of foolish forcigneis. 

After watching the demonstration, a student would 

find It difficult to remember that hundreds of 

thousands of Americans died during the war. He 

would never think that the American servicemen who 

survived the combat underwent great hardship. 

The study of warfare Is an important foment of 

any history course. War b not something which we 

can or should ignore. 

However, it ts of critical importance that the study 

ol war be an objective one. The problem with the 

reservists* demonstration was that it tried to make war 

palatable and even glorious. 

It Is imperative that demonstrations such as the one 

on March 12 be banned from the schools. For if 

students are encourage J to overlook the horrors of

Teachers clarify dispute 

Dear Editor: 

Members of the Lowell community 

knew of a teller written to 

Dr. Fibtsh by members of the 

Foreign L'.ngua^c Department 

beceuse Dr. Fibish chose to 

publish It on the reverse side of an 

open letter that he wrote ana 

distributed among the faculty. Unfortunately 

that method of 

distribution did not make it clear 

that our Utter was written within a 

specific context and was the 

culmination of a series of attempts 

to resolve the issue of mandatory. 

non*classroom supervision as it affected 

us... 

Foreign language teachers wrote 

to Dr. Fibish outlining our concerns 

and suggesting that an ac- 

Fibish upset over 'tasteless display 

Dear Editor: 

At the Senior Class Twin-Day 

Competition two students ware 

face and body make-up. They then 

indicated that they were marijuana 

smokers by pretending to smoke 

glint Imitation feints. The studen' 

body deserves an apology for this 

tasteless display, t wish to extend 

thai apology for not preventing 

their participation. 

I am sending • copy of this letter 

lo the funlor Class and BCO sponsors 

to request that when Twin- 

Day information U disseminated, 

U will b,- Indicated that costumes 

that are imitative of or 

stereotypical of other elbnlc 

groups will not be allowed to participate. 

AUn B. Fibish 

Principal 

Lowell High School 

cum modi t ion could be reached in 

which the organization and supervision 

of the Kermesse would be 

accepted as out-of-clatsronm 

supervision. The reception to our 

letter WAS rather brusque, and Dr. 

Fibish suggested that if we did not 

want to have the Ktrmesvc. we 

should cancel it. Consequently, we 

wrote a second letter addressed to 

the entire faculty. The second letter 

was net published ^cause. in 

an clfott to compromise, we 

withheld it and substituted a 

department meeting with Dr. 

Fibish as our guest. 

The concerns we expressed in 

both letters and In the meeting 

revolved around two Usucs: 

First, foreign language; teachers 

rejected the notion that It was fair 

or necessary to idd to the faculty's 

tilttiog duties the burden of 

supervising events. We rejected 

the notion lhat only supervision of 

athletic events was lo be counted 

toward this new duty. We believed 

that actite club and class sponsors 

and those who supervised cultural 

events should be able to count 

such activity as IUIHMU:;; **»*• requirement. 

Specifically, il was our 

position lhat orjtaniiaiion. coordination,

Second, the mKunce ol the

JCHOOL DAZE- 

By Jennifer FoulaUdu 

"Aww. why did he do that?" seemt to be the general fecll.ig of 

Lowell students regarding Dr. Flbhh'i Iclter reprirnandtng l*>hn 

Stoanc and John Zen trier'* Twin Day presentation. The two Lds 

Innocently enough mavûeraJeti a* Kas Ttfarians (a relatively 

new pcliitcal-rcllgiout inovet::cnt among Jamaican blacks whose 

practices Include the smoking of marijuana) and gave a rather 

humorous interpretation of a, Raitaman conversation. "Gig Al" 

was not tickled by the performance. So.. Dr. Fibist> ..ou. a letter 

to the editor of The Lowe;/, Susan Shiu, cxtendin- to the "...stu* 

dent body...an apology for tht\ taitclcu d>*7'./ * and requesting 

that "...when Twin Day information is bittern In a ted It wilt be in* 

dlcated that coitumes that arc imitative ol 0/ stereotypical of 

other ethnic groups will not be allowed to participate." 

Very funny this episode was. since on the very tamr Twin Day. 

a pair of seniors poved as Chinese bagladies without any objection 

coming from the administration. Taking a look at Lowell's racial 

and ethnic make-up, we feel that these two were in ihc position of 

offending many more students than the Rasiamen were. Why did 

not the good Doctor then scold the Chinatown wanderers? Could 

it he because the two girls actually are. underneath the mismatched 

polyester pantsults, Asian? Hmmm. 

it is the t-iincnl practice of all Journalism 1 (the class designed 

s teat!, ttudenu how to write for The LOAXJI) students to "critique" 

our school newspaper. Each student is asiignd two or three 

pages of ihc latest edition of The Lowell and ii instructed (0 con* 

stnjttivcly evaluate the stories appearing Oi: those respective 

pages- Since over 60 tturicnts arc enrolled in the Journalism 1 

clattcs. e»ch mcmbci of The Lowell Maff receives up to six 

anonymous critiques per printed story. Though the critque 

tyitcm is deigned - o help the newspaper's reporters, there are a

Hot spots tor prom 

By Tiffany Doon 

Well, folks, it's Ihat time of the year again. No, I'm not talking 

ibout midterms, the Academy Awards, or even tax day. but the 

Ireadcd "Prom Night." 

The one question that will ru*i through your mind over and over in 

lanning for the prom is not "Who am I going to go with?" or "How 

rr we going to get there?" or any such trivial detaili, but. of cour*c. 

Where are we going lo cat?" 

Well, I'm glad you asked, because I just happen to have a few iugitlons 

which I think would make perfect beginning! to those 

icmorable evenings. 

Maxwell's Plum, at 900 North Point in Ghirardclli Square, is the 

lace to cat if you arc p;anr..n_ m eat uiih two or three other 

Duples. 

The place Is a large, fun. noisy, nouvcau richc-tvpc restaurant 

Isk for a table with a view when making reservations, and if you K° 

tl the right time, you JUM might be able to catch Ihe sun setting n 

nlo the ocean. 

The menu is continental, and tbrrc arc quite a fc» ilishcs to 

:hoose from. The food is good and prices arc mndcralc to h:Îi. ?ui

-ON THE BALL 

-ALBERTS/CHAN 

Hi sportsfans! Sink and lircd of watch'^g the same ol-j 

eams with the same old players fighting for the same nld 

championship every N.B.A. basketball season? One too 

many Julius Erving slam dunks can eventually became 

n eyesore to today's basketball junkie. It's as though 

fans expect the Doctor's housecnlt on unsuspecting oponents 

without the least bit of "wow" or "did you see 

hat?'" But is that what N.B.A. basketball was intended 

0 he...predictable? I think not. Exciting and awesome 

were supposed to be the proper adjectives. 

But fear not sportsfans: we do have un alternative. 

Those of you fortunr.'.e enough tc see last wt-ck's 

N.C.A.A. basketball finals. I'm sure, were treated to a 

different flavor of ball compared to the game's professionals. 

A coach's decision on what sort of offense, 

defense, or press to employ did play a determining factor 

in the final outcome. Contrast college basketball strategy 

tc the "run and gun" tactics of the N.B.A. and thr point 

01 college basketball being more entertaining than pro 

fessional ball is made clear. 

It's not surprising that N.B.A. basketball is on the 

decline in terms of attendance, while N.C.A.A. basketball 

is being discovered by more and more fans every 

yr^Tl" college spirit and enthusiasm revolves Irom 

coaches, players, and (ens; and that's u'tiat makes the 

college game so appealing. 

Yeah for you Georgetown! 

It seems that a conflict has come into cx : stcncc between 

professional and intercollegiate football leagues 

concerning player recruitment. 

The problem is thai while the NFL has traditionally 

not recruited underclassmen, the formation of the USI-'L 

has created competition fo; talented rlayers. This com* 

petition has caused infractions upon :hc NFL prohibition. 

and a similar USFL rule, which prevents the signing of 

these younger athletes. 

The NFL. which previously could wait for a player's 

college eligibility to expire, must now worry' Jbaul losing 

some of college's best prospects to the new league. 

Perhaps the most debated example of these infractions 

is the case of Hcrschel Walker. Walker was attending the 

University of Georgia and had one year of eligibility left at 

that institution when he was lured by huge contract pro* 

posaU into signing with the New Jersey Generals of the 

USFL. This event caused an uproar by those people con* 

cerncd with this type of enticement. 

Among the people opposed to these infringements arc 

many college football coaches. They feel that the encroachments 

net only hurt the college game, but also 

prevent the athletes from receiving a full eduction. 

Ironically, many pi?yen. are deteimincd to abolish 

these rules and to do so. some athlete:, have brought antitrust 

suits against both the NFL ana the USFL. These 

players dislike the present recruiting system because it 

forces all prospective professional players to attend a college 

or university, whether or not :hc> arc interested in 

obfilning a higher education, as this is the only route to 

the pros. 

What type of alternate recruitment system might be 

established if these restrictive rules arc abolished? Will 

the pros begin recruit in j; directly from high schools and 

netting up training farms? Will it become a disadvantage 

fcr athletes to pursue a higher educetion? 

Let us hope that the business'of the pros doesn't 

submerge the sport of college foo'ball.

Once upon a time... there was magic 

Once upon a lime. In a land far away, there dwelled 

• group of people named Lowelliles. They were * happy

to create their land. *P>«ir life span wa* *e\") short, only

Longer school! days? 

Senate Bill (SB) 813, calling for 

lengthened school days, has its 

merits. Although there in no way 

to be certain what the effect of 

SB 813 will be, it is at least a 

bold and innovative plan of educational 

reform. Such innovation 

is in order; California Assessment 

Program (CAP) scores have 

continued their decline. Perhaps 

increased instructional time will 

Improve the general quality of 

education in California. Out let 

us also hope that Improvement will 

not come at the expense of Lowell's 

unique modular time system. 

Politicians. 

Believe them or not 

Politicians are funny people. Sometimes they sjy 

things they don't mean. Sometimes they iiy thbgs 

they do mean. But sometimes they don't seen to know 

whMt they're saying. 

President Ronald Reagan, for instance, advocates 

policies with confiictlntf viewpoints. He Vimi to 

outlaw abortion to preserve lives, yet he alf p supports 

nuclear arms expansion and capital punish ncnt. 

How can he say he wants to save little tobies If he is 

supporting policies that may eventually til, them? 

Mr. Rcayan ought to decide whether his policies are 

lo protect and prolong »hc human exlster cc or to terminate 

fife oo Earth U he expects cnvcae lo under* 

stand hU ethics and believe in btv Iwdenhljt. After all. it 

Prrthhnt ol lb«. United Slam, he %hoitd know hit 

own mind. - ; 

And then there are ihose politician* *ho dig their 

own graves with their words. A cla&c example is 

former Secretary of the Interior James Watt whose little 

joke about "a woman, d black ani i cripple" *as 

really no Joke at all. ;. 

HU tasteless humor was quite ihxklng to the 

public, tl wa» tr.i final straw that pu: ai end to Walt's 

turbulent and controversM career, with the Reagan 

adJiinUtrailon (allowing conservntior.hu to get the 

iattlaugh). • -.. '.' ; 

:' r- 

• 

Another public figure who'managed. all by himself, 

lo ttlck lilt foot In his mouth h the avpiring presidential 

candidate )es\c Jackson. 

One of Jackson's highest priorities is to bring about 

a "rainbow" coalition of races. Bui by calling Jews 

"Hymles," he brought skepikUm to hit beliefs. Hiv 

slur put him at odds wilh his own policy. 

Jackson is sending out mixed signals to a contused 

public. Is he saying. "Unite the races but call each 

other names"? He can't vtiy '•«!! havt both. 

Perhaps a less sensational issue is the misconcep* 

• lion Democratic presidential hopeful Gary Hart 

prtsems in hhv "New Ideas." Hit \ug£«lion of 

bringing a new and fresh perspective* to the White Heuic 

leadership sounds fine ant! dandy, but the Idci of "new 

idea*" Un't even new. 

Since his goals mirror John F. Kennedy's "New 

frontier" policies of 25 yean ago. Han would be mere 

iccurate if he re-named his policies "rehashed Ideas." 

It would certainly clarify tnalien, but then, the 

change would not help his image very much. 

We're supposed to be able lo irusl and believe In 

our government lc*\ iH* 

Lowcllites sat still and watched «s Lowell Land slowly, 

(imperceptibly at first) changed before their eyes. 

Many ol the older Loweltitct were often seen shak* 

tng their heads and saying. "Remember when we had 

... p-mcinbcr when v»c used lo ... remember..."Then 

the) would give a great sigh, gesture lo the incoming 

Lowellite*. and say, 'They'll never know what they 

missed." 

And then one day as (he Lowcllites woke up. they 

looked around and realized that now Lowell Land was 

like any other land. What had made Lowell so special 

wit gone ... most likely forever.

The message pictured in the above photograph »

Office (located next lo the bcancry). Aside 

from the obvious misspelling of the word "inside.** the

The Lowell realizes that some measure of security

"The cafe society." I believe they're called — thde frequentrrs of

ttc hours of the evening. 

Sin Franciw; hss many cafes which are fun to go to evert if you 

*• not a member of the "cafe tociety." 

The Calfe 7cphyi, at 3643 Balbca across the street from the 

lalbna Theatre is a cafe and poitcr/ai t taller) 1 in ore.

Perche No *Why Not'), at 348 Columbus in the heart of North 

3cach. rn the othsr hand, is a lively, bright volfce'dcsscrt house 

hkh serves some of the best geiato in town. 

Some nights there are musicians who play inside this rattier 

crowded, lively spot which might be invitation enough to step into 

thUfur. Italian eafc. 

The big gclato desserts are especially ~ood and. unless you arc a 

real coffee connoisseur or interested in staying up all night. I would 

.-'.commend going easy on the strong espresso. 

The Coffee Cantata at 2030 Union is really where ycu can find the 

irgest variety ot coffe?. It serves the coffee hot. cold, with ice 

ream, and almost any wiy imaginable. 

The dimly lit cantata is a great place to sit and drink coflee in the 

late hours or to eat lunch, or dinner, earlier in thi day or evening. 

Finally, the Blue Danube at 30h Clement Is a small, crowded. >rt 

comfortable coffee house, whose outside tables give it a vrry "cafeish" 

appearance. 

i This is a nice place to go to whether munting or .light, to drink 

coffe? and eat croissants whMc listening to tapes of Beethoven. 

Haydn, and Mozart. 

It is difficult to recommend any particular beverage or dciicrt at 

n> of Ihcic cafes, because they all offer so many good things. 

(Depending on your taste for coffee, you just might want to stick to 

foi chocolate or tea. 

Because they provide a nicr atmosphere for people to sit and relax 

and stay open during late hours, it is easy to see how some can 

become addicted to cafes. Try one or all of them and see H you don'r

The shutting, clapping, foot-stomping, and whistlin 

n the gymnasium increased to a deafening roar as thi 

game clock, showed the seconds slowly ticking away 

>..4..3..2..1.. and then it was over. 

-Despite tho valiant last efforts of a few students, tin 

aculty once again soared to a victory over the Senio: 

Class in the am.uil Senior-Faculty Game. 

The final score of the game, which was held in thi 

Lowell gym on Friday the 13. was 50-47. 

The victims this year were from the Cla»s of '84 bu 

hey could have been any past senior class, since thi 

aculty team always seems to win. For a bunch of pcopli 

who claim to be old, some of the faculty members an 

amazingly quick an their feet. 

You seniors shouldn't feel too badly, however; th 

odd: w« pgainst you. 

First of oil, scnio's who play basketball for Lowell 

teams are not allowed to play in the game (This obviously 

insures that the foculty squad will save face). Secondly, 

the credentials of some players for the faculty were 

doubtful (no names mentioned because no one could 

identify these "faculty" players). 

No more complaints; you've heard enough. 

The game overall was very exciting with a surprisingly 

high level of competition. The gym was packed with 

spectators, many of whom had to seat themselves atop 

gymnastic equipment just to get a clear view. The basket 

ball leant can only dream of such game attendance. 

The purpose of the Senior-Faculty game should be to 

allow seniors to publicly humiliate all. those teachers 

who thought an hour of homework a night was "getting 

off easy" and two tests a week are "nothing compared to 

when I was in school." 

So start practicing juniors! The next game is only a 

year away.

Educational reform measures flawed 

Riding ihe crest o! the educational reform mine 

ment lhat continues to sweep otii nation are two new 

programs which could dramatically affect local 

schools. Although both program* are innovative and 

Intriguing, serious weaknesses plague each one. 

In May. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert 

Aliolo presented a proposal for school bosid constJzntion 

which would vest greatly increased authority 

in those at each school site: the parents, the 

teacbers, the principal, and the students. (See story in 

Hew* section for details.) 

The concept of decentralizing con trot ol San Francisco 

schools through the creation of neighborhood 

school boards has Its merits. A singl** board can 

neither understand nor meet the needs c. --h of the 

citj's diverse schools. Neighborhood school Ms 

composed of parents covld set instructional prior*, 

and nvanage the school budget In a manner wl.k'i 

would meet '.heir children** particular needs. Tk 

• plan woulj certainly encourage parentat involvement 

'However, the overnight crraCcn of 10S regulatorboards 

would spawn a great newr level of b>ircaucra>.». 

Parental involvement in the schools, currently lo« kr> 

and supportive, would becoue instantly politicized. 

The prospect of winning a \cat on the powerful 

neighborhood board coutd veil generate hotly con* 

tested election campaign * among parents. 

Once elected, the member\ of a nr^horhood 

school toard might find their ability to take a^Con 

hampered by bickering and squabbling. 

In fciiy case, the central district board would find 

the monstrous task of properly overseeing the actions 

of 108 local boards Impossible. Consistency in school 

curriculum and operation would be left behind — 

making educational oppot (unities inequitable. A

an education far superior to or.e with an Ineffective. 

unimaginable board 

Another novel p.uposal has already been approve* 

by the st&te government and is currently being implemented 

In California tchools. 

Thi teacher-mentor program, as approved under 

SB 813. amounts to a form cf merit pay for teachers. 

Teachers designated as mentors by k special commit* 

The cable can. will be back in operation on June 21. 

There will be An "All City Picnic" mat day to 

celebrate their return. 

Festivities will begin at noon at Union Square. Vic 

torian Park, and California at Market. Entertainment 

tee will receive up to $6,000 'n extra pay as a supple* 

ment to their regular annual sal tries. 

In addition to continuing to teach a full load ol 

courses, these mentors will destgu and develop * 

special pro}ect to improve the quality of local cduralion. 

For eiample. one San Francisco teacher who tpplicd 

for mentor status proposed to coordinate the 

social studies curriculum ti the city's *U alternative 

high schools. 

One of the problems with the teacher mentor program 

is thit it is being Implemented too quickly. 

Lowell's faculty recently rated to choose a teacher to 

participate in the progtun. Teachers dutifully 

selected Steve Granucci. but complained thai they did 

not know whether they were voting to nominate him as 

a mentor or a ine.nber of the district's mentor selection 

committee. 

Those teachers who are dubbed mentors (the 

district will announce the names of its 65 mentors on 

June 7) will probably face resentment from their peers 

who might view them as little more than "hotshot 

prim a donnas." Mentors might find It hard to win the 

cooperation of their peers and administrators on their 

special ^rujects. 

It is also quite possible that some teachers will atplcit 

their mentor status. Although the progress of 

mentors on their special projecti will supposedly be 

monitored, there arr no '.Jta\*l guidelines for evaluation. 

Thus, The Lowe/I sees quirks In both the 

neighborhood school board and the Icaohcr-mcntor 

programs. While we approve of the general principles 

of these programs we hope ihit their apparent 

weaknesses rlil be addressed.

Proposal to centralize 

student government 

Lcn-cll has had its present form of student govern* 

r.ent for over 16 years. It has been 16 years too leng. 

Although reform measures have been suggested to 

make our present system better, many proposals have 

been either too troublesome or time consuming. 

Before the present charter was Introduced. Lowell 

had an efficient central government. There were hardly 

any problems that the students could not handle. 

There was no lack of Mudent awareness or support. 

Lowsll government ».•* respected because It wts 

recognizable and strong. 

With the ctublUhment of various governing boards 

and offices, the school had many leaser leaders with 

relatively little power to "take charge." 

Ihe major purpose of the charter was to get as 

many students as possible Involved in student govern* 

ment. To some extent, the charter has succeeded In 

this endcaror. yet many of the same studrnts r>n for 

the same offices yrarafteryear. 

The proposal that The iowWJ would like to make is 

to abolish t-untlcss ronfuv'tig student offices aad 

combine governing boards hi an a"cmpt to once again 

.establish a central government (perhaps the Lowell 

Executive Council). This measure would give students 

'beck the power they have lost. «> 

A centralized govenuaent would provide student officers 

with real responsibUltr and real experience. 

It would make government leaders more 

recognizable and accessible to the student body. 

Another advantage to this proposal is that a central 

government would give student olficen little chance to 

"goo! oil." It would. Instead, demand greater dedication 

(rum them. 

One major problem with our present lorm o( 

government is that the students don't exactly know 

what goes on In their government. 

How many students know who the LEC president 

is, or why some student*, who were not elected by the 

student body. wlc '" mccl ' ludenu '

Yin's testimony caused the N RC

Frederick Miclke. I'C i t

the NRC would not grant the 

license just because ol the differing 

opinion of one engineer. "You arc 

going lo find error* in »r> plant." 

he told the S.F. ChroiiicJr. 

Yin said, "It Is haid for me to 

imagine slatting operations 

wiihc-i! ruing the plant first."

So. this year's finally coming (o an end, chT And as we

parties, autograph book tigningt. ar.J *tuff like that. 

About now. the latest frethman gcitip is that, omigo^h. there 

isn't a fourth floor pool after all...but what a cool joke to play 

on nest year's froshiei! About now. Lowell sophs, just getting 

over the long nights of studying for last semester's finals will 

find themselves again reading and calculating into the we: 

hours — light in 1* for those A's. And about now, Ihe lllh : 

graders just can't wati until their treacherous junior year — 

full of chemistry worries. SAT and Achlcvf ,.^nl anxiety, and 

term paper heartburn — i\ over and their Igng awaited senior 

tear — full of college application worries, college acceptance 

anxiety, and AP heartburn — begin*!. 

PROM NOTES: Rumor has It that Brian Gardner wore an 

all leather tux (o the Jr. Pron. I guess he knew where the beef 

was...Kevin Allen knows how difficult it Is to ( ind an available 

(non-Icaihrr) tux two days before he needs if...Derrick KawaU 

— the next Michael Jackson?...It's lunny how just by attending 

the Sr. Prom you can tell if someone went to Ihe Sr. Picnic: 

Laura Angulo and Debbie Dolduc arc just two examples of 

the all \oo common "tan-tine syndrouc." the illness that victim 

lies girls who wear drcuei that expose their backs and/or

"Due lo uncontrollable circumstances..." cards for Lowell 

grad* lo include with their misprinted announcement**. The 

change of date i\ even effecting underclassmen at Lowell. 

Since graduation i\ usually on a Thursday, final* normally fill 

on the Friday. Monday, and 1 uc*day before school lets out. 

But now all finals are pushed up a day early, thus giving 

everyone ihe entire weekend to cram for only one day's woiih

Handwriting reveals traits 

By Molly Nlxm 

Did you know that you can 

discover the secre't ol s person's 

character just bj locking at hb 

hrndw rttlng? 

Grapholoicy. tne art ol hand- • 

writing analysis, hat been used In 

China and Japan since 1000 B.C. 

One famous btlietcr. the Greek 

philosopher Aristotle, claimed hr 

could "...define the IOUI ol people 

by their way ot writing." 

Some people Ie*l that lliey can 

tell k lot abovt a fainter by tht. 

style and it-bject ol his paintings. 

This tame concept can be applied 

lo writing. 

In a way. writing is a drawing 

that speaks to us. It communtcatrs 

Ideas through thr written word 

and, at the same time, tens us 

about the author's personality 

unstable 

•tone he M 

through the iha*>e of hit writing. 

Graphologist i agree that writing 

communicates njore than Ideas 

and that people a.c subcontcknitl) 

»e.-> aware of handwriting. 

Think about It- Do you 

remember the disappointment of 

rccehrlng t typed lone letter? 

Typewriter* f-ist don't emit the 

emotion capable of the human 

hand. 

Your cmotiinal Mate will affect 

the way you write- It may change 

when you are pressed for time, excited, 

tr In a bad temper. When 

you are relaxed and the Icatt conscious 

of bo* your writing look*, 

'your chamctcr will ihow through. 

Ortphdofat* mutt Uke tlwte 

and other ciicumttancrt into consideration 

when analyzing 

writli 

$ 2.00 

i 

It it impcianl to ha*« u general 

idea of inc person's ate. You 

ihouU at lean know If the subject 

h a child or an adult. Children 

lend to write bigger towards thr 

end of a word. If an adult's writing 

hat thlt characteristic, he may be 

childish. 

Secondly, you need to kno* 

whether, the subject 1> a man or a 

woman. In Shakespeare's time. 

women were taujrht to write tttftr. 

was more angular. Today it U 

much more difficult to tell a person's 

tcs through hit handwriting. 

When analy/in* a handwriting 

sample, a craphoîtt uses the 

quick'glance technique to get a 

gcnenil idea of the vubjcct't per* 

tonality. ThU lechnique requires 

t the lines o< writing, the 

size and angle ot writing, and the 

spacing of the lines ard letters. 

If the writing slant*, upward, the 

person Is «ery egotistical: the 

higher the slant, the bigger the 

ego. Larê writing shows a desire 

lo control others and an active 

concentration en doing rather 

thf.n talking. 

Th* finer points ol graphology 

ln*cAc the actual formation ol the 

letters. 

"C's" and "•*»** whkh are not 

closed completely, are signs ol 

opefamlfldedneu. II the letters are 

closed, the person U very oplniouatcd. 

Graphology b a limitless subject 

whkh many people spend years 

studying and perfecting. Whether 

a hobby or a profession, it Is 

something eteryone can enjoy.

"Success it makinK yourt?ll

ON THE BALL- 

Ix-r 

-ALBERTS/CHAN 

Once again, and probably not for the last time, the 

Olympics is causing unnecessary tension between the 

United States and the Soviet Union. 

The whole concept of the Olympic Games is simply 

to provide a meeting place for amateur athletes of all 

nations where they can compete a* represcn'atives of 

their homelands. 

With the present system, a victory in :he Games 

often creates the nationalistic sentiment of "our coi'ntry 

is teller than your country." However, because the 

Ill-will crc»tcd by these feelings is minimal, few problems 

ol great magnitude between the world's major 

nations have evolved as the result of these nationalistic 

attitudes. 

But wh:ii countries 'Icckle lo boycott and in doing 

so rob a'hlclcs of their cV.ncc for victory, something is 

seriously wrong with the Games' structure. 

Perhaps it would be best if all Olympic athlete;, r.:\ • 

pcled as individual;, non-rcprcscntalivc ol any country. 

In this system, a victor)' would be an individual 

triumph and nothing more. 

Would this system prevent countries from boycot- 

!inS? 

The anwver lo this question is "NO." 

The boycott ol the O'ympie Games is. for the most 

part, a political mu\ j. Suite each ôt eminent 

ultimately has control over it:; citizens, athletes could 

be restrained from attending the Games no matter 

whit type of Olympic system \\ being employed. These 

boycotts would produce the same effects ;.s they do 

under the present day system. 

Certainly, the politicizing of the Olympics has en* 

dangcred its continuance, but what can be done to 

remedy this problem? 

Maybe it is unrealistic to think of changing the 

structure of the Olympic Games at all, hut obviously 

some type of change must ne made. If the integrity of 

the Games is not salvaged through some international 

compromise, both the Olympic situation and 

worldwide relations will ceiaiuly suffer. 

Beginning in 1940 with Adoli Hitler and his "Arian 

race." v;c have slowly lasted the bitterness of politic:, in 

the Olympic Games. Since that time, we have seen 

once-proud Olympic themes like "the brotherhood of 

man*' and "the striving for individual excellent" fall 

prey to world politics and serve as a political instrument 

in the form of a country's retaliation, shame, and 

discontent toward one another. 

Nov.- that two of t!w world's major powers have 

demonstrated lo their fellow nations that boycotting 

for political gains is acceptable, we can reasonably 

assume 'hat the future holds only more dashed Olympic 

hopes. 

Besides being an athletic event, the Olympics is also 

a potentially great channel for international cope ration 

and goodwill. The Games do cause problems, but 

they should be saved to prevent a lack ol coxmunica* 

tion and friendship that would inevitably result in 

disastrous worldwidc.conscqucnccs.
