<strong>The</strong> SE program wanted a room<br />
in the main building so that the<br />

Senior Brron Lee. founder of<br />
the club, feels that the issue i* a<br />
matter of freedom of speech and<br />
assembly.<br />
"Meeting after school h different<br />
from meeting during<br />
school.** Lee commented. "Allow-<br />
modular scheduling, tic will<br />
discuss the idea with the Faculty<br />
Council before making any decisions.<br />
For this semester. Fiblsh<br />

On the other hand, as FibUh<br />
argued last April when th« Car*<br />
tfina] Crusades controversy first<br />
emerged, the right to pwcnb'y<br />
assemble does not mean the rijht<br />
to peaceably assemble In romcone<br />

Finish feels that this is a "...<br />
regrettable law" -.filch h, ". . .<br />

Besides receivinj; state funds,<br />
one advantage of more code B'C<br />

Language department upsets Arena Day<br />
Students who program their <strong>class</strong>es on self*<br />
scheduling day, should be permitted to enroll in any<br />
<strong>class</strong> whkh lias not been filled.<br />
This, however, has not been the opinion of Ute<br />
foreign language department for the last two<br />
semesters. <strong>The</strong> department ha* been 'balancing' it**<br />
<strong>class</strong>es at the scheduling tables in a unique way. which<br />
altogether defeats Ihc purpose of having a selfscheduling<br />
day.<br />
<strong>The</strong> method employed by the department has been<br />
a simple denial of a stuJcm's right U> sign up for a<br />
• <strong>class</strong> whkh is still open, until other clabes which are<br />
pot filling up as quickly, have been gircn a chance tu '<br />
'catch up' In the ran for clmuie.<br />
This is unfair.<br />
One Dtembcr of Scroll, who wa$ having a difficult<br />
time comma nkating w*th faculty in the FonHgn<br />
Language Department, (elated the following dialogue<br />
between himself an,*, a member of the department, to<br />
the suifot THE LOWELL:<br />
"Are these cli^v* closed?"<br />
"No. well, not officially."<br />
"What do you mean 'not officially'?"<br />
"We're closing tip th*sc <strong>class</strong>es now. so that we can<br />
give other students cc! ince to enroll in them later."<br />
This Scroll member was told by the foreign<br />
language department that certain <strong>class</strong>es were not to<br />
be cro'-ed off ihc list In the auditorium, but were to<br />
be kept officially iip-n. although, at the same time,<br />
students were not being permiltrd to enroll in these<br />
'open'<strong>class</strong>es.<br />
One Shield member became extremely upset, and<br />
later explained to THE LOWELL exactly what went<br />
on that day.<br />
"I tn checking Around for closed <strong>class</strong>es. bt:ausc<br />
part erf the Job of a Shield or Scroll student Is to mark<br />
off the <strong>class</strong>es in the auditorium when they close, so<br />
tbat students entering the auditorium will know what<br />
. U dosed and what isn't.<br />
• . "Wltcn I wmt to the foreign language tables. I<br />
wrote down a lot of <strong>class</strong>e. because they (the depart*<br />
• meat) had them closed. Mr. Collis came up to me and<br />
.' said that those <strong>class</strong>es weren't really closed. He said<br />
they were sanng them for later to balance the enroll*<br />
ment. "»T.d they would be opened »hcn certain other<br />
<strong>class</strong>es were filled/"<br />
Classes during mods 6. 7. 8. 9. 10 and 11 were be*<br />
ing closed 'temporarily' to Fill up others given mods 2,<br />
X 16.17. If. 19 and 20 which apparently were not as<br />
popular. An info*mcc source told THE LOWELL<br />
that <strong>class</strong>es taught by »clMikcd tcachen were being<br />
'temporarily closed' i,i older to fill up others taught by<br />
tcachen who 5re not as popular.<br />
One student approached Ut? language tables and<br />
,- . war denied her request to enroll bi an 'open* <strong>class</strong>.<br />
Aiter explaining if she were not to be admitted into<br />
the 'open* <strong>class</strong>, she would have to sign out of all the<br />
<strong>class</strong>es she had already signed into and rearrange her<br />
. entire schedule, a member of ihc Foreign Language<br />
Department suggested that she dc just that.<br />
"So I went to Dr. Htbish." the Shield member con-<br />
- - * dnurd.** and said. ;<strong>The</strong> foreign language department<br />
ts closing their cKrtcs before they're full, in order to<br />
balance them out.' " Dr. Fibish said he would take<br />
* care of it. ••,<br />
"Later on, Ihc' (the department) wen st'U d -ing it.<br />
Graffiti reflects<br />
student apathy<br />
Has anyone noticed Ihc increasing amount ol<br />
graffiti around campus reccctiv? It seems thrt<br />
graffiti and campus walls an inseparable, and unfortunately,<br />
most students sces> to accept them as<br />
being a part of the school mvironmeat.<br />
Throughout the past screral yon, the administration<br />
Ins addressed the Utter problem at<br />
.<strong>Lowell</strong> quite persistently, due to its obvious unattnetiveuess<br />
and potential hazard. But because a<br />
-'student cannot trip on graffiti and hurt themselves<br />
(as: they may with u empty soda ran), the problem<br />
o! dirty vnlb bu not been brought to everyone's at-<br />
•fcnHoo. ' ' -<br />
•'}••'•'•'<br />
; <strong>The</strong> act h that a majority of the graf fill Insulu<br />
or degrades a specinc person, and even it there are<br />
no nama mentioned,, the written comments are<br />
often obscene and offeosrr\ It cood it could do for the California public school<br />
system.<br />
This resolution is labeled Proposition 37 and It<br />
proposes instituting a state lottery.<br />
More than one-third of the money from the lot*<br />
tery would go to the public school system, with 50<br />
percent returned as prize money, and 16 percent<br />
being used to sustain the lottery program.<br />
American* are finally acknowledging that<br />
Amc?»-a\; public schooh ?rc in trouble; never*<br />
Itwlcu, many Calitomians arc against this pro*<br />
paul.<br />
<strong>The</strong> lottery is opposed by Governor George<br />
Dcukmcjian (a Republican). Lieutenant Governor<br />
Leo McCarthy (a Democrat). <strong>The</strong> American<br />
Ft jention of Tcwhcrs (as a statewide union), and<br />
various church groups. Many others remain<br />
neutral.<br />
Reasons for opposing this program range from<br />
doubts about the propose" operating structure to<br />
an ethical objection to gambling, but these<br />
arguments are not very convincing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> state tottery has already proven successful at<br />
An dimple of the bcreasbg aoovat of graffiti around<br />
scribbling on public pro;.«rty.<br />
Graffiti are not only offensive and unattractive,<br />
but v-ostly as well. <strong>The</strong> school district does not have<br />
extra money to spend In order to clean up after<br />
senseless vandals who deface our walls and win*<br />
dows.<br />
Every year. <strong>Lowell</strong> conducts a "clean-up day"<br />
rahing funds in 16 other state*. Concerning the<br />
question of morality, a compromise must be made<br />
between the lesser of two oils. Is it moral to derMMincv<br />
|l«nttt|f«((| In lit* torin • •/ • Utttmy It at m*mn+<br />
neglecting even a small part 6t r. students* cduc»-<br />
Uon?<br />
Another argument against the lottery is that It<br />
would be most tempting to those v.no are feast able<br />
to »'i»rd gambling tosses: the poor. This seems to<br />
oe a poor argument; the decision to enter the lot*<br />
tcry is one made by adults. Moreover, there is also<br />
the possibility, however slight, that the entrant will<br />
win.<br />
A decision m.-dc in ignorance .& little more than<br />
a ypicss. so here arc the facts:<br />
• Our public school system is H dire need of<br />
funds; California now ranks last among oil<br />
Mates in the expenditure per pupil in pubiir<br />
schools.<br />
** <strong>The</strong>re i\ currently no o*.!tcr feasible proposal<br />
that would provide needed funds on a similar<br />
scale as the lo'tcry.<br />
* It may be anoJier frur years ocforc another<br />
opportunity to revitalize the public schools<br />
in such an efficient manner can b* offered.<br />
Can the schools continue to cduca.c students<br />
tuccrufully without a major new infusion or hinds?<br />
We think not.<br />
where students volunteer to clean up all the scribbling<br />
on the walls, among other things. It is unfortunate<br />
that not all the student population share<br />
Ute feeling of pilde in a dean campus, and those<br />
who do not certainly have no rif ht to wrjte the time<br />
and effort of others by spraying mr^e graffM otcr<br />
freshly scrubbed or painted wa'i*.<br />

•ctfbingGatsby's party, not a national political convention. But thai<br />
01 fceUag of desolation after momcnU of surrealistic living was com*<br />
•i tot tth scenes.<br />
I thank KALW Radio SUtion whkb gave Eric FasHfl and me the opftunity<br />
to attend the 1954 Republican National Convention u youth<br />
porters. <strong>The</strong> convention Itself was often described as dull and bortog<br />
ice everyone knew wbo the Presidential nominee would be. So what if<br />
e Dallas convention lacked the fiery rhetorics of Cuomo and Jackson,<br />
that DO historical emit, like the first nomination of a woman nn a nur<br />
Presidential ticket, took place." For me. the wry fact of being at a nanal<br />
political convention was exciting enough.<br />
When I arrived in Dallas on August 19, the first event on lite agenda<br />
is the California Cold Rush *S4. presented by Mrs. Rvth Hunt and the<br />
illas County Republican Assembly. <strong>The</strong> Hunt Estate (Californians call<br />
OK Hunt Ranch) U a rrpUca of Mount Vcmon situated in acres of four-<br />
* thick grass. Given the Idyllic setting and the 108 degree heal. I<br />
told say that it b the perfec: place for the 1985 Senior Class picnic.<br />
<strong>The</strong> errnt was a reception barbecue for the California and Texas<br />
legations. Just la case you ever compete in a trivia game show, Reagan<br />
from California and Bush is from Texas. As for the Hunts, they ha«<br />
ag been one of tbc wealthiest famuic* in America. Made it in oil and<br />
ver, so I was toW. I was also told not to eat the barbecue because it was<br />
ttkey tneatl<br />
At the barbecue, several put-down*thc-other*party speeches were<br />
rcn by' MOM prominent speakers. Including our own Governor<br />
7 his stoneidded<br />
belt to do some bclMifhtcnijgon spending In Congress, beginn*<br />
| with Tip O'Neill. From my experiences In Dallas. It seems as If not<br />
any Republicans like the Massachusetts Speaker nf the House. Later in<br />
e week, at a California youth delegation wrnltur. Wlhnn *tatnl: "Tip<br />
Tlcffl wU do as much ior the dcfldt at he wiU do for designer ieans and<br />
cak-dancing,** Notice the allusions he u*cd when addressing a younger<br />
9»d.<br />
From this first contact with the political scene. 1 learned that politics b<br />
rty. More Importantly. I abo learned that mott everything depends on<br />
cmections. It b idcalbtically nice to think tha» delegates, alternates,<br />
td guests attend conventions because they are supportive of thdr party.<br />
f course, most of them do. In varying degrees. But the truth of the matf<br />
b that self interests have a lot to do with such situations. On occasions<br />
ich as political conventions. imporUnt business contacts are made.<br />
ssmess contacts which translate Into prnfit.<br />
My first impression of the convention hall was relief. You see. the<br />
mperature soared above 100 degrees for the entire convention week.<br />
ult* contra/y to S.P. conditions. It b aa established fact in Dallas that<br />
le interior b cooler than the exterior. Thank goodness for airimllrtonlngl<br />
As I expected, security was very tight. One had to pass through several<br />
ecurity checks before proceeding on to onc'sdcstinatlon. Passes consisted<br />
[ many sorts: delegate, alternate, guest, page, staff, security, and<br />
icdia. Except for the major network staffs, the media (that's me!) had<br />
mited acces: passes wiiich each reporter could trade in for a 30-minute<br />
oor pass. And you think that scU-scbcduIu.g day bhectic!<br />
All of the above passes enabled the individuel to go on the convention<br />
oor. Official coavention Identifications were needed everywhere a per*<br />
xi went, but they were worthless without a pass.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was abo an arena pass which entitled the owner access to the<br />
mi. <strong>The</strong> arena looked exutiy like the Cow Palace. Inside, there was a<br />
[ant setwen wnich depicted the action at the podmm and on the floor,<br />
b me. the arena was dreadful because 1) 1 coul^ be more comfortable at<br />
croc watching television, and 2) It was freezing. Luckily. 1 did no! have<br />
> spend too omen time there. But I learned that many local Republican<br />
exam considered ihemsdvet extremely fortunate to be allowed in the<br />
<strong>The</strong>re were the receptions at night no wonder the nxwnlng scnkxis<br />
id not begh until 10 a.m.1 Although there were parties all over the city,<br />
ts main •atherinf place was tile Loews Anatole HotcL <strong>The</strong> Ana tote, one<br />
I (be finest hotels in DaOat, ottered a spurious new dimension with Its<br />
tria and coottmporaiy *tyle of decoration. (Important connections were<br />
bo rademsush circumstances.) •<br />
In additionito badness connections, political connections were of great<br />
loportance. <strong>The</strong> Republicans are sure of a heateU race In 196T *or the<br />
'residential Domination. Tbc most Ukcly choke, naturally, b Ceorge<br />
tosh.Not far behind him are Senate Majority Leader Howard B*k.r of<br />
rcanettee and Senator Dole of Kansas, Ford's running mate In 1976.<br />
few York Congrcssmaa Jack Xcmo. representing the cotumatirr<br />
orcs^ b certainiy another tough cookie with whom to coo tend in *8S,<br />
.Wits Fcmro'u the Democratic Vke-rVnldcnthl nominee, tiie<br />
RcpubBcan Parr/ b strewing the role of *cmca within the pa»ty. <strong>The</strong><br />
act that President Reagan appoifltd Sandra Day O'Connor as tit? first<br />
moan Justice was often emphasized. Abo, maay top Republican we men<br />
were on Cbplay as tpcak«n at thb convention. Perhaps the mon em*<br />
^hashed one wu. the keynote speaker. Kaibcrine Ortega, U.S.<br />
n*stircr, Vvtcd deady in ber speech. **I believe fat oor Preshfcnt not<br />
becattM Ian ft woman. Not became 1 am of Hbpamc heriuge. But<br />
ibovi all became I am an American/" However, 1 do not think that there<br />
Mondale's tax plan<br />
Mondale displayed "RcagaoCharse** to fUttstrate Reagan's<br />
deficit.<br />
can be any argument agalmt ihe assumption that Ortega was choten to<br />
be the kcync .c speaker became she b a HUpanL* woman.<br />
Among other Republican women. Elizabeth Dole, secretary of the<br />
Department of 1 nmsportatien. certainly had her jliare of glory In<br />
Dallas, Many fator her for the *8S election. Some are even speculating<br />
the Idea of a Dole-Dole ifcket.<br />
Cuomt uid In hK keynote address that t'.ie Republicans would hare to<br />
create diversity in Dallas "by propping up mannequin delegates on the<br />
convention lloor." As lar as ethnic diversity goes, much of the statement<br />
wu true. Out of the 2.215 delegates, there were 75 blacks and 26 Asians.<br />
Out »f -1.474 iklrsalct and jKcmalo, there »«* 167 Hitpanic*. 1 h*d<br />
the opportunity to Inlcnkw toerml A-tUn delegates, and most fell that<br />
the Republican Party his taken grc*t sups in improving the status of<br />
minorities within the Party.<br />
As far as rhetoric goes. U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick's aitdm.%<br />
«as by far the most refreshing. Tcrhaps thb b because she was OIK<br />
Democrat among a week full of Fxjmblican sneakers. Or maybe It was<br />
because of the fact that I felt as if I had "come to bury Caesar" when she<br />
repeatedly manipulated the thane. "But then they (the Democrats)<br />
alwavs blamed America firs*."<br />
Unexpected and funny cvcn'Ji can take place at press conferences just<br />
as in liTe-tclcvbion broadcast*. At his press conference nn foreign policy.<br />
Bu\h addressed a man as a iromen due to the length of the man's hair.<br />
Bush did not realize the mistake until several minutes later and was very'<br />
embarrassed. Johnny Carvm remarked. "It's not that the Republicans<br />
don't recognize women, it't that they can't.**<br />
Tbc highlight of the wrtk was probably the welcome reception for the<br />
President on August 22. <strong>The</strong> Anatole buzzed with life. Posters painted by<br />
various youth delegation hung from all thirteen balconies of Atrium I.<br />
Prior to the President'* arrival. Maureen Reagan, hb daughter, warmed<br />
the enmd up by leaJhig the cheer. "Four More Years Reagan Bush." (I<br />
myseU was standing \xj the eleventh floor balcony, and the view was not<br />
the greatest.)<br />
<strong>The</strong> sixth sessUn of the convention was essentially the acceptance<br />
speech and closing ceremonies. Reagan accepted the nomination after<br />
adhering a carefully designed speech. Even the Jokes were pcfrsUy<br />
chosen. For example, the President said. 'Will Rogers once said he<br />
never met a man he didn't like. If 1 could paraphrase, our friends In tSe<br />
other party norr met a tax they didn't like. . ." <strong>The</strong> crowd broke inktremendous<br />
appUuse and cheered for several minutes before Reagr *. had<br />
the opportunKy to d-lhrr the punch line: "or hike" Furthermorr. not<br />
only did Reagan effectively appeal to America's sense of patriotism by<br />
nMnlpuUllng the Olympic theme, he named each dty that the Olympic<br />
torch passed through to Illustrate the diversity, splendor, and greatness<br />
of Amcfca.<br />
Aftrr the acceptance speech, Ray Charles led the entire convention<br />
floor m singing "America the Beautiful." <strong>The</strong> ambience was truly<br />
tremendous. What was even more remarkable wax the spirit of unity,<br />
prk'-e. and optimism displayed by the crowd when they rabed held hands<br />
and began singing "God Bless America.'' Imagine the feeling at Spirit<br />
WeeL magnified a hundred tiaw. Only then win you begin to underst<br />
ind and appreciate the atmosphere.<br />
E«n If the furor over Ferraro's finances nvenhadowed the convention<br />
at times. tV entire event was carefully ttaged and precisely executed.<br />
Where can you blame the weather on the Democrats, rent a baby<br />
elephant for SI,000 an hour, see Fritz Busters in actkn. hear Motcooe<br />
Center referred to as the Tcaple of Doom, and staad up and cheer<br />
wbencvcryoa hear the word "Grenada" mentio oed? Koubere except at the<br />
19e4NationalConventkm.<br />
' <strong>The</strong> pany was now officUBy over. Some would be back on the ctov<br />
palgn trail, others would continue to work for the Party, and itill others<br />
would go back to thdr normal hVs. Whatever the case might be, 1 am<br />
sure that everyone has bencfltted b terms of experience and exposure. 1<br />
myself learned u great deal about oar political machine and human<br />
behavior. I do feet a Wt saJ now th « all Ae excitement has finished, but<br />
I am certain *hat there will be . ^Ilar occasions to come, be they<br />
Democratic or Republican, as long a> he celebration of fife continues.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new LO.T. wilt strive for<br />
the same goals as before —<br />
primarily to help .'reshmen adjust<br />

giving the summer lours which<br />
bate bewmc synnmmom with tlic<br />
orginiziitoin. each member will be<br />
aulgncd to a itroup of freshmen<br />
from one registry witti nhom he or<br />

A similar organization existed a<br />
couple of years ago except it was<br />
more of a Wg sUi«/H»'* sister<br />

From then on. UO.T. became a<br />
"...dub for the summer, active<br />
right before and alter summer,"<br />
according to Kathy Chen. UO.T.<br />
secretary. Each member ot the<br />
new LO.T. will "guide freshmen<br />
tnrouith the entire year — gl*e<br />

polkfci. and activities.<br />
<strong>The</strong> California Scholarship Federation (CSF)<br />
b an organization which is designed to<br />
recognize scholastic honor students at <strong>Lowell</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> main function of CSF is to organize<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong>'s tutoring program. Any student who<br />
needs help in a specific subject may go to Room<br />
215, the Advanced Placement Honors Resource<br />
Center, and request a tutor. Volunteer CSF<br />
memben are then aitigncd. according to thetr<br />

Membership to CSF is limited to seniors,<br />
junior*, and mend tenwUer •opbomortk In<br />
order lo become a member, a student must<br />
have at least three A'I and one H In hut<br />

At the beginning of each semester, application<br />
forms can be obtained in Room 215.<br />

Script L U a society that awards students for<br />
outstanding serrice to the LowtU couununiry.<br />
Students ean: Script L points for almost all<br />
scrvfcs acthritki In which they pirtidpaic For.<br />
example, club memben gain 15 points per<br />
semester and student government ofiicen earn<br />
100 points.<br />
<strong>The</strong> serrice activities that do not ccunt for<br />
Script L are those that reward students in other<br />
ways. Journalism students do not earn any<br />
points for being on the staff; Instead they earn<br />
dan credits and a grade.<br />
Student workers In the foreign language lab<br />
can also gain credits for their efforts, but they<br />
have another option: they can choose to be<br />
paid. Since they have other rewards, they are<br />
not given points.<br />
At we end of each semester, a points sheet Is<br />
bsued -Vxh lists the numos* of points each<br />
serrice activity b worth. Students Ibt their<br />

Socializing at <strong>Lowell</strong>...<br />
By Jason Mlntz<br />
As you munched on your corn chips at the last rally, and checked<br />
out that new song-girl routine, (that U. any pan of the routine<br />
that you were able to see) you probably were startled, as was I,<br />
when some spirit-minded frosluc began screaming. "88! 881881"<br />
Freshmen. <strong>The</strong> Class of 1988. What an interesting thought.<br />
Actually. I think we have on our hands one of the better freshmen<br />
<strong>class</strong>es 'that <strong>Lowell</strong> has seen in recent years. Even so. they are<br />
(and appropriately so) very ru ive.<br />
Information was circulating throughout campus that an official<br />
freshman sn:ak day had been organized for Friday,<br />
September 21. Woru reached some freshmen that this event was<br />
being sponsored by the SAB (though Mike Zimmerman was<br />
unavailable for comment), as a follow-up to the immensely successful<br />
KELLO dance.<br />
To accommodate the very large number of new students who<br />
requested that dances this year be held after school. HELLO wus<br />
held in <strong>Lowell</strong>'s warehouse for state Junk food, the ever popular<br />
cafeteria. (But didn't we graduate from middle school?) HbXLO<br />
was actually very well received by many freshmen, who even up<br />
until the last few moments before the dunce was to begin, uidn't<br />
know if they were being put on.<br />
Freshmen Neyu King and Lillian Phaeton joined the ranks of<br />
dozens of others who parked L'-emselves on a courtyard bench<br />
with book in hand, so as to convince anyone who might be watching<br />
Ibcm as they peered into the cafeteria to »ec what *M what.<br />
that they were natty doing homework, and were not at all like<br />
others who probably actually believed (Oh. please! How gullible<br />
can someone be?!!) that there was going to be a dance that after-<br />
Freshmen Danny Cao and Nicholas Grey report that they have<br />
been approached several times by three undercover members of<br />
the <strong>Lowell</strong> Secret Police (LSP). who go by the names of Lt. Mike.<br />
Sgt. Bales, and Btackcy. <strong>The</strong>se three juniors simulate assaults on<br />
innocent freshmen, then identify themselves as members of the<br />
LSP. and warn their victims to lake precaution: for next time. "It<br />
could be the real thing." What good guys, eh?<br />
And jusi when you thought it was safe to enter the building and<br />
not have to suffer through yet another joke about the nonexistent<br />
fourtb-floor pool.. Three posters -verc ^bolted around campus,<br />
advertising the formation of an Aquarium Cub. Can yflu guess<br />
where it meets? Room 409 — try to find it.<br />
<strong>The</strong> newest organization to hit Eucalyptus Drive is the LIT.<br />
better known as the <strong>Lowell</strong> Intimidation Team. Rumor has it that<br />
ifjhc LEC gives the OK. the LIT may soon become the fifth<br />
governing board at <strong>Lowell</strong>. According to President Marc Bader,<br />
members of the LIT test to sec just how fur that freshman's sense<br />
of humor can be stretched. Applications may be obtained from<br />
members of the LSP. or In Room 411, next to thevXquarium<br />
Club; interested freshmen need not apph.<br />
In other news, junior Erik Noyet is olf n Sweden for r visit with<br />
Mom. Not for a week, not for a month, tut according to brother.<br />
Anders at least a semester, and maybe even a year. Erik speaks<br />
lucnt Sndish. I'm told. How's that for impressive? In any case.<br />
I don't care what language he speaks. We want you back. Erik.<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong>'s not the same wlthoutyou.<br />
And not to leave out other <strong>Lowell</strong> students from the 19&7-&4<br />
school year. Jennifer PooHkidas and Jcdlne Young ore now off<br />
cruising down Wcstwood Boulevard by night, and living i<br />
studious life at UCLA by day (at least they're pretending to). But<br />
so we wouldn't forget them, they contributed something to I owell<br />
High School which they knew we would all cherish: their xiten.<br />
Georjcne PouHJddas aad Jacqudyn Young are now among us. as<br />
menbers of the Class of 1988. But what's U&? More frehman<br />
dbll^r Paul Fata (Eva). Adam FebgUa (Shami). Elisabeth<br />
Weber (Ellen), acd Sue- ArtemoB (Angle) hare joined us too.<br />
And watch out next year — prepare for the arrral of another<br />

<strong>Lowell</strong>ites on popularity<br />
By Sandra Wong<br />
Is being popular really that important?<br />
According to Judy Halle, a<br />
counselor al Huckleberry House,<br />
teens place loo much of an emphasis<br />
on popularity.<br />
"It (trying to be popular) can<br />
cause a lot of stress and havoc in a<br />
young person's life." stated Halle.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> Ironic pan about it b that<br />
most per pie will think you're fine<br />
the way you arc. even if you<br />
don't."<br />
<strong>The</strong> American Heritage<br />
Dictionary define* "popular" as<br />
being someone who is liked by<br />
friends and is sought after for<br />
company.<br />
Several Umcllilcs were asked if<br />
they thought popular)^ "\\ important.<br />
"Iking popular doesn't make<br />
you a better penon." said senior<br />
Selene Hong.<br />
Junior Mike Scott agreed. "It<br />
matters more what you IhinV than<br />
what other people think."<br />
Outsiders<br />

they talk to no one...they are the<br />

Htcrynnc. at one time or<br />

This feeling is usually brought<br />
about due to a sense of not belonging<br />

Apathy plagues youth<br />
"Hcilno—wewon'tgo!'*<br />
Over a decide has passed since<br />
UXMC «ordi UK echoed across the<br />
nation's campuict. In the altcrma'h<br />
of the Vietnam era.<br />
American itudcnu have become,<br />
by and large, more conservative,<br />
marc carcer-oricnted, and more<br />
apathetic.<br />
Increased competition In the Job<br />
market, the absence of an ongoing<br />
war, and a rekindled scroc<br />
of patriotfam — both for the<br />
lcbool and for the country — have<br />
bred a studmt who placet hb<br />
carter and future over global conwet<br />
Ironically, this lack of political<br />
Involvement comes at a time when<br />
many students live In fear of<br />
atomic war. A poll of 2.000 top<br />
high Khool students, conducted<br />
tan fall by iMucitlonal Coromunkallom<br />
of Lake Pore-U, ItlinoK.<br />
revealed that nearly a<br />
quarter apeel nuclear war within<br />
their lifetime.<br />
So what has happened to the<br />
mats protests of the W» and early<br />
70'»?<br />
AccotJint; to Sandra Bird,<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> social science teaclier and<br />
Foremics coach, the dissenter*<br />
hare nol disappeired; they have<br />
simply chosen to work through<br />
other avenues.<br />
"During the Vietnam era. tlterc<br />
was a group of students who were<br />
mod awe. or rather, more<br />
'vocal.'* Bird stated, "I'm not sure,<br />
though, if they were well versed 01<br />
the subject. Sow, there still is a<br />
parentage of politically aware<br />
students — but they're not as visible."<br />
Such people include the 1.500<br />
ttudentx and faculty members at<br />
Stanford Unh-enity who have sign*<br />
cd petitions opposing nuclear<br />
research.<br />
Nevtrtbefci* the **iil*inV,and<br />
"Txxadlc petitions of today are a<br />

the catMe* cf i decade igo.**<br />
Bird coocurnd, explaining.<br />
"Since no one b being drafted at<br />
the present Unu. there b no clear<br />
danger to the studenU."<br />
Increased competition in the<br />
job* mar Let has alto forced<br />
ttudents to be more pragmatic<br />
about their futures. As a result.<br />
Dan J»c]uon, Social Science<br />
Department head, stated,<br />
"Students today arc more carteroriented<br />
than hsuc-oricnted."<br />
"You see that in the computeriuoon<br />
cf society and student<br />
interest in math and science." he<br />
continued. "In social studies, for<br />
example, there arc more<br />
economics and fewer tociology<br />
students."<br />
It is not surprisinft. then, that<br />
there has been a resurgence of confervatlim<br />
among American<br />
students. In a recent poll con*<br />
ducted by the editors of Who's<br />
Who Aatoag American High<br />
School Students, a majority of<br />
ltudcnts surveysil favored Khool<br />
prayer and an amendment banning<br />
abort loot.<br />
Comcnrativc lifestyle* mrc thriving<br />
a* well. At the Unircnity of<br />
California at Berkeley, membership<br />
in fraternities and sororities Is<br />
up 2S0% from the late 60*s.<br />
Hand in hand with conwrvatlim<br />
te a renewed sense of patriotism,<br />
reflected in the booming<br />
cnlistroenu in college Reserve Officer<br />
Training Corps progiims<br />
acrou the country. Patriotism applies<br />
nol only to the nation, but to<br />
ant's Khool as well- ChccHeading<br />
and pep ratlia arc nourishing,<br />
alter falling from favor in the<br />
counter-culture movement of the<br />
60*s.<br />
As Jackson pointed out. "In any<br />
generation there arc some who<br />
push the borders of acceptance,<br />
but on the whole, students are<br />
thinking and acting more comer-<br />
It b often those at the borden of<br />
acceptance who arc trios*, "rilling to<br />
tUgr protests and demonstrations.<br />
During the Democratic Conven*<br />
lion in Sui Francisco, groups of<br />
"perce-punks" staged dramatic<br />

Center.<br />
An unfortunate side effect of tbe<br />
new. carec-r-orkntcd student b a<br />
declining number of registered 18ycar<br />
old voters.<br />
According to Jackson, <strong>The</strong><br />
adoption of tbe 26th Amendrornt<br />
— which gave 18-year olds tbe<br />
right to vote — occurred during<br />

By Jessica Leung and Ntocy Chug<br />
Have you ever had one of those days when everything goes<br />
wrong and you wish the whole world was one giant scoop of ice<br />
cream? Snlddy certainly did.<br />
It all began one afternoon wltcn Snldely walked out of her<br />
civics <strong>class</strong> grumbl* .g. She was assigned to investigate the<br />
background of Cclato Clutlco ice cream.<br />
"I know that Gelato was started In 1976 and was the first<br />
Italian ice cream from San Francisco." contemplated Snldely.<br />
"Some tec cream l« whipped up to 50%, but Cclato ice cream is<br />
hardly whipped at all. That is why the texture is so smooth. Since<br />
there are no preservatives, artificial ruvors or colon.GdatO Ice<br />
cream has to be shipped to each of the shops weekly. Now. what<br />
else do I need to know?"<br />
As soon u Snidcly spoke those words, something magical occurred.<br />
Instead of normal scenery, the surroundings transformed<br />
into a mountain of Cclato Ice cream. Snidcly was trapped inside!<br />
"<strong>The</strong> only thing I can do is to eat my way out." thought Snide*<br />
•y*<br />
So eat she began...<br />
<strong>The</strong> first phase that Snidely had to overcome was the Fruit<br />
Frontier. It conusted f two tortxtto flavors (lime and raspberry),<br />
banana walnut, strawberry, peach, blueberry, and burgundy<br />
cherry, lite fruit flavors contain no fruit extract; they are all<br />
made of real fruits and taste like their lespective fruits. Made<br />
with only fresh fruits and no dairy products, sorbetto flavors arc<br />
actually Kalian ice. <strong>The</strong>y are delightful when something light and<br />
refreshing h desirrd.<br />
Next came the Nutty Nowhcrcland. It was made of vanilla<br />
bean, peanut peanut, pistachio, and Joseph St. Almond. Each of<br />
them ts different from ordinary ice cream because of Its unique<br />
characteristics. <strong>The</strong> flavor of the vanilla beau ice cream Is<br />
stronger than ordinary vanilla, and peanut pcunut consbts of<br />
chunks of peanuts in a pcantit-buticr flavored ice cream.<br />
Pistachio comes firm coppa mista (which wil! be encountered<br />
later), and Joseph St. Almond is almond pieces in ice cream with<br />
almond extract instead of in plain vanilla ice cram.<br />
Snidcly finally arrived at the last and most tempting stage: the<br />
Chocolate Cavrrn. Its constituents were dark chocolate,<br />
chocolate raspberry, mocha chip, and coppa mUta. Heedless tc<br />
say, dark chocolate Is a very rich and popular flavor. Chocolate<br />
raspberry it a mixture of chocolate and raspberry flavors; the<br />
reason for its presence In the Chocolate Cavern instead of the<br />
Fruity Frontier U lu chocolate color.<br />
Mocha chip I* tantalizing coffee fee cream with semJ-xwect<br />
chocolate chip*. Cuppa m.fta. the most popular flavor in taste<br />
tests, is a combination of choclalc, vanilla, pistachio, and almond<br />
ice cream. Imagine the delight of each flavor alone, then multiply<br />
that feeling by four. Snidcly passed through this flavor the<br />
quickest.<br />
<strong>The</strong> odysscy thus concluded. Snldely was free and finished with<br />
her assignment. Of course, not everyone can have the delicious<br />
time that Snidcly had doing her homework. But for SI. IS (small).<br />

. What <strong>Lowell</strong> teams prsctice and compete all year<br />
round? If you said the football, basketball, or baseball<br />
teams, you're wrong. <strong>The</strong> correct teams are the varsiiy<br />
end junior varsity song girls and cheerleaders.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cheerleaders and song girls start performing<br />
before school starts, with freshman orientation. In<br />
fact, most of the girls on the squads rtund<br />
cheerleading camp during the summer, where they<br />
work on skills and compete against other schools.<br />
f very year, there is talk about a lack of fan support<br />
here at <strong>Lowell</strong>, especially for the footbdl and basketball<br />
teams.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se young ladies cannot be included in this<br />
group! <strong>The</strong>y attend all of <strong>Lowell</strong>'s football and basketball<br />
games. <strong>The</strong>y always cheer with an incredible<br />
amount of energy. rain or shine.<br />
Joining the v ng girls and cheerleaders at <strong>Lowell</strong>'s<br />
athletic events are the letlergirls and pep-squad.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se yourg women perform at all rallies during the<br />
year, and alter basketball season, the song girls and<br />
cheerleaders devote the rest of the year tc team competitions<br />
in which they compete against other schools<br />
from Northern California.<br />
- - in the varsity football game against Saint Ignatius.<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> was losing 29-0 at hali time, and a lot of fans<br />
began to leave. Out. the cheerleaders, song girls, letlergirls.<br />
and pep-squad kept cheering and rooting<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> on for the entire second half as if they were winning.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y kept cheering until that final gun sounded,<br />
and then sang <strong>The</strong> <strong>Lowell</strong> Hym- after the game.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se girls work just a.< hard, if not harder, than<br />
any athletic team at <strong>Lowell</strong> and grt the least amount of<br />
recognition.<br />
Let's face it. <strong>The</strong>se girls are UNBEATABLE!!!!<br />
<strong>The</strong> Chicago Cubs deserve a big cheer.<br />
For the first time in 59 years, the Cubbies have won<br />
their divisjoo. That's thirty-nii_- years. Harry Truman<br />
wa> in his first year as President. World War II had<br />
just ended. Alaska end Hawaii were still territories.<br />
And get this: my parents were still teenagers!<br />
<strong>The</strong> year was 1945. Cubs' fans were enjoying<br />
themselves. <strong>The</strong> season was almost Derfect except for<br />
one thing: <strong>The</strong> Cubs lost the World Scries.<br />
'After the final Series game, while the "45 Yankees<br />

Proposition 36: a definite loser<br />
When California!* voters step up to the ballet box<br />
this year, they will make decisions on proposition<br />
that will ib-pe the state's future. Some of these pro*<br />
positions benefit all, and some appeal only to certain<br />
vote", but others. Uke Proposition 36. are clear-cut<br />
losers.<br />
Proposition 36, the taxation amendment proposed<br />
by Howard Janris, should receive a NO vole<br />
regardless ot the voters opinion of Proposition 13<br />
(oaw Article XIII A In California's 2fute Constitution).<br />
Proportion 13 had many negative effects on<br />
California's school system, besides Us drastic cu \ on<br />
the state's lax revenues, which weakened or<br />
, ellmluatcd avny state-provided services.<br />
Due to Proposltlop 1.1. 1.000 teachers In San<br />
Francisco were laid oil and univcrthy/conn* unity<br />
collate fees were raised<br />
• <strong>The</strong> San Francisco Unified School District en*<br />
durcd other HnisrUl hardships when Proposition 13<br />
wu passed in 1978. At U/urcll, as s result, there arc<br />
cpproxlmately 20 percent fewer cl\sscs and teachers<br />
and Vo-lhirds fewer custodial employees.<br />
I! Proposition 36 panes, the public school system<br />
would lose, a half billion dollars. Under current stale<br />
law, the state would be fonxd to replace thcie funds.<br />
However, raising money for education would become<br />
Pledge at <strong>Lowell</strong>?<br />
<strong>The</strong> tint Amendment to the Constitution Is the<br />
opic of much debate. We hear people complain<br />
when they are denied the rig)*.: to free speech, and<br />
people get upset when they see their right to freedom<br />
ol religion being restricted in any way.<br />
Never before, until this year at <strong>Lowell</strong>, has the<br />
violation of one's right to Pledge Allegiance to thr<br />
flag ol the United States of America been an istue<br />
for debate — anywhere.<br />
California law states that all students mutt be<br />
riven the opportunity to recite the Pledge of<br />
Allegiance at school, and the <strong>Lowell</strong> uudcni government<br />
and administration have taken it upon<br />
themselves to ensure that we not be denied this<br />
"Inalienable right."<br />
California law also states that no orange may be<br />
peeled In a California hotel room, but it Is not too<br />
often that wn see somcono being arrested for this obvious<br />
crime.<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> government, backed by the administration*<br />
apparently feels the need to make the op*<br />
portunity to recite the Pledge available to those<br />
students who seek it. Where are the dearly deprived<br />
student* hiding, and how until now have they<br />
possibly been abtc to survive? Those students who do<br />
pledge allegiance dally Uave obviously opted for<br />
recitation on their own lime.<br />
Deductions from a similar situation, last year's at*<br />
tempt by the Cardinal Crusaders to gain rights to<br />
meet on campus, may be applied here. Principal<br />
Alan Flbtsh reasoned that the right to peaceably<br />
assemble Is different from the right to peaceably<br />
assemble In someone else's living room. In the same<br />
way. the right to recite the Pledge of Allegiance is<br />
different from the right to recite the Pledge of<br />
Allegiance in our common living room, the Lowtt)<br />
High School campus.<br />
It U wrong for a high school to be tdvocating<br />
steads on moral decisions, and the weekly recitation<br />
ol the Pledge over Radio <strong>Lowell</strong>, as suggested by student<br />
government, is a violation of a «tudcnt*s right to<br />
oot Involve himself with the Pledge of Alleglince.<br />
It is diffktlt to believe that our government and<br />
administration at <strong>Lowell</strong>, are ridiculous enough to<br />
think that some students will actually embarrass<br />
themselves by-standing up In'front of their entire<br />
seated registry, to recite the Pledge and even more<br />
: ridiculous to think that faculty mcmbcis are going to<br />
itand up and lead their registries in this recitation.<br />
as was proposed by student government.<br />
This new. tradition at <strong>Lowell</strong> is supposed to have<br />
Already taken effect. It doesn't seem to be working<br />
too well. Jor now students up Ptedgbg Allegiance<br />
;]tut ax oivwzs they were be/ore this issue became<br />
suet a malordbctusloo topic — which is not at all.<br />
It Is the opinion of Toe <strong>Lowell</strong> that although our<br />
student government and administration meant well<br />
In their attempted Introduction of what &ey hoped<br />
would be a new tradition at <strong>Lowell</strong>, this entire Issue<br />
*af a waste of valuable time and energy which could<br />
hire easily been spCnt more constructively on more<br />
Important school-related Issues.<br />
^Pride. Iz. our nation Is one thing. Being forced to<br />
bivolve ourselves In expressing pride Is another Issue<br />
altogether.^ - ~<br />
even more difficult ilncc the state's source of tbU<br />
meney Is taxes and 36 would hamper California's<br />
taxing ability.<br />
If a voter finds that he does not Uke what Proportion<br />
13 ha? done for our state, cither in the arc* of<br />
educational funding or in its other effects on state<br />
taxes, he should vote against 36 which beasts "Save<br />
1J" as its motto.<br />
If. however, the voter supports 13 and Is happy<br />
w!,h its effects upnn California, he should still vole<br />
NO on 36.<br />
Proposition 36 enhances all of the bad aspects or<br />
13 and even creates some problems of its own. <strong>The</strong><br />
Initiative may be an attempt tn iavc Proposition 13.<br />
but it won't work.<br />
This proposition would decrease the taxes on<br />
those properties which currently pay the lowest taxst<br />
and increase the IAXCS on those properties with Uw<br />
highest assessments. <strong>The</strong> assessments on properties<br />
which have not changed hands since I97.S would be<br />
decreased by 6 percent. Generally, these are the properties<br />
which have the lowest assessments under Proposition<br />
13.<br />
In total, there would be 1.3 billion doHars granted<br />
in tix cuts to thes already advantaged (by Proposition<br />
13) property owners. This is simply unlUr.<br />
Proposition 36 nUo proposes that a two-thirds majority<br />
vote be required for any tax increase or<br />
decrease. This Is. in many situations, rule by minority<br />
since ir would allow -mc-third of the legislature to<br />
control the remaining members.<br />
By requiring this two-third* majority on all local<br />
and state tax policies, the effectiveness of California's<br />
local and slate governments would be seriously<br />
reduced since their abilities to tax woutd be affected.<br />
Other reasons for opposing tills amendment include<br />
a provision which would unnecessarily redefine<br />
the word "lax." a voiding of many voter-approved<br />
local taxes by the addition of new restrictions on the<br />
voters, a shifting of control of fund's from the local to<br />
the state level, and numerous other minor, but<br />
harmful, provisions and effects.<br />
Among the organizations opposing ihh proposition<br />
are the California Teachers Association, the<br />
American Federation of Teachers, the California<br />
Parent Teachers Association, the Chamber o! Commerce,<br />
and outstanding citizens and leaders such as<br />
Mayor Dianne Fclmteln, State Superintendent of<br />
Public Education Bill Honig, and SupcrvUur Quentin<br />
Kopp.<br />
In summary. Proposi'ion 36 would neither negate<br />
the effects 13 had on our school system nor would it<br />
"save 13." In fact. It would do more harm to our<br />
already underfunded schools and would tncfease<br />
the unfairness In California's tax situation.<br />
SAB questions access to gym<br />
Do <strong>class</strong>rooms belong to the teachcre who use<br />
them during the d»y? Do teachers hare the right not<br />
lo allow a club to meet In "their" room after school?<br />
<strong>The</strong> answer lo these questions is an obvious,<br />
'NO." So why docs the Physical Education Department<br />
believe it hrs the right tn say that students ma><br />
not use the gymnasium?<br />
<strong>The</strong> Physical Education Department and its<br />
department head Ed Burns have adamantly ttated<br />
their view that the Student Activities Board should<br />
hold school spirit nMles on the football Held, in the<br />
courtyard, or in the auditorium.<br />
<strong>The</strong> difference of opinion between the P.E.<br />
Department and the SAB b not new. Last year, the<br />
school district allotted funds for repairs of the <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
site, and some ai the money was spent lo resurface<br />
the gymnasium floor. Since then, students have been<br />
hearing about the worries of Burns and membrn of<br />
the department of possible "damage" lo thr floor by<br />
non-P.E. <strong>class</strong> use.<br />
Fint ol all, does the P.E. Department really<br />
believe that heavy metal volleyball and badminton<br />
poles and gymnastics and other equipment wlH<br />
cause leu damage lo ih: surface than students walk*<br />
ing slowly in and out of the gymnasium? (Can<br />
anyone ever run out of the mobbed gym after a ral><br />
ly?)<br />
Second, the rallies are just as much a part of<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> as the physical education <strong>class</strong>es, Xlter all,<br />
OLC of the factors that makes <strong>Lowell</strong> an outstanding<br />
school Is the pride and identification that the<br />
students nave for the name of <strong>Lowell</strong> and thr colors<br />
red and white.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first rally of the 1984-85 school year was set<br />
for Friday, September 21. <strong>The</strong> SAB had planned It<br />
mil In advance and had let the Physical Education<br />
Department know ot Its Intention. On the morning<br />
of the rally, instead of the expected sunshine, cloudy<br />
skies gave San Frandvo some ot the tint rain of the<br />
season and rendered the football field and track the<br />
infamous "<strong>Lowell</strong> Swamp" end "Lake <strong>Lowell</strong>."<br />
With the wet field and bleachers, the rally could<br />
not possibly have been held on the football field. But<br />
thii did not cause a problem because the SAB had<br />
planned for the rally lo occur In the gymnasium.<br />
What did cause the problem was the appearance of<br />
Bunis in the jym as the sound crew was setting up<br />
for the rally.<br />
He told the SAB that they were to vacate the gymnasium<br />
and have the rally In the courtyard. <strong>The</strong> SAB<br />
did not originally consider the courtyard as a<br />
possibility because of the hard surface that would<br />
I adversely affect the performance ot tho tong glrb<br />
1 and UK cheerleaders. . *<br />
John Bistett. sponsor n( the SAB, asked Principal<br />
Alan Fiblsh to take actiin for the rally that was less<br />
tlian an hour awny. Ftblsh tote 1 Bluett that tSey<br />
could discuss I 1 the following Monday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> rall.v. which was very crowds d£s 1J the<br />
limited amount of room in thr. courtyard, was a success<br />
and the song girls and cheerleaders performed<br />
their routines to the best ot their ability, considering<br />
the circumstances.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next Tuesday. Flbish. Blssctt, and Burns met<br />
and discussed the issue. Burns stated that the gymnarlum<br />
was available for rallies whenever there was<br />
"Inclement weather." (A less important though interesting<br />
point Is that the word "inclement" means<br />
"extremely harsh, stormy, and rough." Does this<br />
mean U»t Burns will not allow rallies !n the gym tintil<br />
a typhoon hits <strong>Lowell</strong> and wreaks havoc on the<br />
football field m.1 the courtyard?)<br />
<strong>The</strong> P.E. Dcpcrtmcnt is not explicitly stating that<br />
rallies wiii not take place in thr. gymnasium, but<br />
rather saying tbat students should attend them outside<br />
and "enjoy the fresh air." Meanwhile the SAB<br />
will hold some rallies outside and some Inside the<br />
gymnasium.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re Is an Ironic note to this whole subject. <strong>The</strong><br />
athletic department U hosting a "Binge Night" in<br />
the near future as a fundraiser for itself rod the<br />
band. Can you guess where it will be held? Yes. in'<br />
the gymnasium. Maybe if the student body donates<br />
some money to ths P.E. Department, Burnt and the<br />
rest ol the department will be eagir to let the rallies<br />
oelnthcgym.<br />
Presently. It seems as If the conflict Is settled.<br />
Fiblsh stated tbat no pjbllc student activity can be<br />
restricted from using a part ol the building. Toe<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> h glad thr dispute Is no Icagcr causing problems<br />
and hopes that the students of LowUl High<br />
School wai never have to fece the possibility of losing -<br />
the use of a school facility.<br />

of vending machines follows over the speaker. More<br />
groans.<br />
Are such threats from (he orinctpel's office actual*<br />
ly working* We think not. When Principal Alan<br />
Fibish first tackled the problems of litter and waved<br />
punishment* In the faces of the students, <strong>Lowell</strong>ltes<br />
obliged. -<br />
Onejunlorsald "It wasn't that 1 was scared of the<br />
punishments. I don't cart if they dose kit rending<br />
machines, or If wo have to cat in the cafeteria (not<br />
with Slonestown so di*e). 1 Just told myself that we<br />
(the students) were supposed to clean up after<br />
ourselves,"<br />
<strong>The</strong> junior's statement proved true, and Fibish<br />
reported a slight Improvement. However, not long<br />
after tne improvement, he ctme on Radio <strong>Lowell</strong> to<br />
say that the halls were dirty* again. He repeated the<br />
threat of punishments, and this time the groans<br />
coming from the students were louder.<br />
Said a senior, "1 would probably pay attention to<br />
such threaU at first, but after a few days, I would<br />
probably forget my garbage again."<br />
Many students appeared to agree with the senior<br />
that the threats were ineffective.<br />
Yet, we support Fibish's cause. If one looks<br />
around the hallway after school, he can see that our<br />
halls am not exactly like the corridors of General<br />
Hosoltal.<br />
Almost every day* there are ipl'ted cans of sod- on<br />
the floors. Almost every empty locker has vomc form<br />
of debris In it. <strong>The</strong>ru are always numerous potato<br />
chip bags *u J milk cartons strewn along the halls.<br />
Students are aware or the sordid condition of the<br />
halls. Why else do they sit on books, folders, pieces<br />
of carpet, etc...1<br />
Th;re/orc. Fibish is rif-ht in saying thai we have a<br />
major dirt problem. However, he is not right, we<br />
believe, in his method of confront*ng the problem.<br />
Not only do students won forget threats, but they<br />
reluctantly follow orders based on threats. High<br />
school student* do not enjoy being treated as<br />
children, and when they aie totd they can't tuvc<br />
cake unless th«y finish their vegetables, as In this<br />
case, they soon cease to care anymore.<br />
<strong>The</strong> main point U that students should care about<br />
their school — even i' it U over sanitary matters. <strong>The</strong><br />
school should propose a contest of a similar event in<br />
which everybody participates.<br />
Since moit Low'cllltcs enjoy competition, a contest<br />
between the <strong>class</strong>cj of <strong>Lowell</strong> could be effective. <strong>The</strong><br />
Senior Out could be In charge of the cleanliness a!<br />
the firti Jlt-on the ju.Mors could take care of the se*<br />
cond floor; the sophomores could get the third<br />
floor: and the freshmen could take care of tK- t.rea<br />
by the auditorium. Every month, the <strong>class</strong>es could<br />
rotate their assigned ktc&i*<br />
In creating a contest such as this, a usually despised<br />
job, such as cleaning, would be more enjoyable,<br />
and students would not have to be or feel threatened.<br />
This way, <strong>Lowell</strong> would be much cleaner, and<br />
FlbUh would no longer have to use ineffective threats<br />
to make a point. _ _<br />

unconstitutional a provision of tht<br />

Pro: Proposal cushions tuition costs<br />
By I row ishlnar*<br />
Tuition tax credits could Improve<br />
the standards cf elementary<br />
and secondary schools as well as<br />
provide reUet to mkMle Income<br />
families struggling to meet fitful<br />
tuition costs.<br />
A tuition tat credit would make<br />
a private school education more<br />
cqultahle with publtc school<br />
education. Individual* would be<br />
free to choose for themselves and<br />
their children the type o! edu *•<br />
Uon that t*wy desire at the tchoou<br />
and colleges they select without<br />
baring to preoccupy tbemiclvet<br />
with serious monetary concerns.<br />
Merc children *ould be encoonjtcd<br />
to atteo*l private schools which<br />
would In turn offset the over<br />
crowded <strong>class</strong>rooms that occur In<br />
rub Ik schools. Public school<br />
<strong>class</strong>room sixes would decrease as<br />
a result of tower public school<br />
enrollment.<br />
Smaller <strong>class</strong>room sizes in<br />
public school would Improve<br />
teaching effectiveness. Private<br />
schools wuuld be able to succeed,<br />
and public schoo'% would be able<br />
10 stabilize their rising costs.<br />
Although the middle <strong>class</strong><br />
would benefit much from the tuition<br />
tax credit. It it not the only<br />
grcup that will.<br />
Some rataoriiy groups w^uld<br />
also benefit from tuition tax<br />
credits, lax credits would allow<br />
mlnorily groups to place their<br />
children In private schoob U tUy<br />
so desire wlthou. havinc »° wdgb<br />
monetary cuncerov so biavtly.<br />
Tax crcdiu would only be<br />
granted to those studentt who attend<br />
• nondlKriubutory school<br />
which bad been ccrtlfUd as such<br />
by the Internal Revenue Servk*,<br />
therefore guarding against<br />
iette«ated private schools.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Is- ue of tuition tax credits b<br />
not the first in federal «*uc* tnjo to<br />
involve the Intcnuliinal Revtflue<br />
Code of the Committee oo llnarce<br />
because publtc schools have for a<br />
long time received federal Jld an*<br />
tax breaks from the government.<br />
<strong>The</strong> federU government's first<br />
responsibility Is to the public<br />
tchools, but It also has a respon-<br />
Ability to taxpayers who send<br />
children to privitv schooU.<br />
"To deny flaanclal aid...and<br />
thereby make It more difficult for<br />
Cww to obtain the education they<br />
seek for their families is to submit<br />
to paternalism and to station."<br />
stated Senator Daniel P.<br />
Moynihin, regarding private<br />
education.<br />
Although elementary and lecon*<br />
go<br />
to colkge and university students<br />
and their famUies.<br />
Tuition tax credits would allow<br />
Individuals and famllks to retain a<br />
tittle more of 1 ei Income at a<br />
time *Iten ttr are -nost pressed<br />
for sno*M7 f> . college -osts. <strong>The</strong><br />
tuliloa tav credit propotaT would<br />
Insure (hat every dollar of basic<br />
grant or supplementary grant aid •<br />
student receives It actually nib*<br />
traded from the tax credit for<br />
which he would olherwbe be eligible,<br />
Any supplementary funds a<br />
studeoj receive* reduces the rto-<br />
>tit'i eligibility.<br />
Fur those with vcty low Incomes,<br />
ttw grant programs are more<br />
useful thftn tax credits, but for<br />
millions not eligible for grant aid.<br />
the lax credit wouid be helpful.<br />
"It has been charged that<br />
students and families will not retain<br />
the benefit of the tax credits,<br />
the theory apparently being that<br />
colleges and universities will boost<br />
their tultloa charges so as to 'capture*<br />
Ibe additional resources."<br />
said Moynlhan. "This, however. Is<br />
not true. Schools that try to exploit<br />
tuition tax cixdlts by boosting<br />
their tuition will find It difficult to<br />
attract students to their Institution."<br />
With rising tuition cuts, it is<br />
becoming room aaJ more difficult<br />
to circumvent monetary problems.<br />
A tuition tax credit would provide<br />
additional government approved<br />
relief to those who formerly would<br />
not qualify for sutn.<br />

showing, according to many.<br />
<strong>The</strong> *HS song and yell girts per*<br />
formed on the footbtll field before<br />
a larjc audience. <strong>The</strong>y, along with<br />
Imhmin Bmanucl Blcvint, tried<br />

voiced Blcvins. "It was<br />

better."<br />
Freshman Claire Dalint agreed.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> wng girls were really good,<br />

On October 16, the *57 rally was<br />
held In the newly dedicated Carol<br />

Rally's final day is 'fiasco'<br />
By Irene Kuo<br />
Emotions ranged from mild<br />
disappointment to outright anger,<br />
but the student consensus was thai<br />
the last day of Spirit Week was a<br />
met*.<br />
A faulty public address system<br />
and the concurrence of the foothill<br />
game against Lincoln intcrfeirrd<br />
with the rally. As a result, much of<br />
the rally hid to be cut. Including<br />
the much'iwalted <strong>class</strong> skits.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Juaiat Gau' skit was well<br />
under way when the game began<br />
with the singing of the National<br />
Anthem and the accompaniment<br />
of the band.<br />
John Blst*tt. Student Activities<br />
Board ipcaur. made the announcement<br />
that the skits would<br />
be held In tlie courtyara during<br />
mods 14-15 the following week.<br />
For many this announcement was<br />
llttif solace for the damage already<br />
done.<br />
Students from Lincoln had torn<br />
do«n the posters from the opposite<br />
bleachers, and a few brave ones<br />
had permeated <strong>Lowell</strong>'s side to<br />
cheer on their team, boo <strong>Lowell</strong>,<br />
and tokf unused balloons.<br />
Some seniors were particularly<br />
disappointed, leaving the field<br />
enraged and in tears.<br />
"We didn't get to show<br />
everything. I thought It was a<br />
mess." fumed senior Pinky<br />
Jaliwal.<br />
"I think that they should have<br />
had the skits. <strong>The</strong> actors were<br />
upset because they spent a lot of<br />
time: It was too bad." said senior<br />
Margaret WOOR.<br />
"1 didn't tlilnk it was nice of<br />

Many have probably noticed the<br />
program for the <strong>Severely</strong> Profoundly<br />

part o! the Urn el! community. It is<br />
likely, however, that wry tew students<br />
have given i» much thought.<br />
True, ttw SPH program may be<br />
regarded as bong somewhat detached<br />
from the res* of the student body, and<br />
It Is a little-known fact that for those<br />

Origin of the Nobel Peace Prize<br />
<strong>The</strong> Nobel Peace Prl - . jallioo<br />
with the profile of U founder.<br />

By Michael Lee<br />
Every year, along with the<br />
recognition of the outstanding accompfohmenu<br />
uf individual* in<br />
chemistry, physic*, physiology «nH<br />
medicine, literature, ani*<br />
economy, the Nobel Peace Prize<br />
goes lo the erf anlxatlon or prrwi<br />
that hu contributed mo*4 la promoting<br />
the brotherhood of man.<br />
AUred Nobel, a 19th century<br />
Swedish chemltl. Industrialist,<br />
and philanthropist, set up a fun/I<br />
which would award people whose<br />
clforts and work have made the<br />
greatest benefit t > mankind.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Income canted from his<br />
estates Is divided Into five pans<br />
and 1$ distributed to the winners of<br />
each category. (<strong>The</strong> prize In<br />
economics was not established until<br />
1968. It U Independently spon*<br />
tored by a Swedish bank, but Is<br />
itfU one of the six Nobel prixes.)<br />
For the Peace Prize, a live-man<br />
HorwTfLin committee chooses the<br />
penon who. according to the<br />
founder's will, has **. . . done the<br />
most or the best work for fraternity<br />
among nalicni. for the abolition or<br />
reductioo of standing armies, and<br />
(or the holding and promotion of<br />
peace congresses.**<br />
Nobel's Interest In peace was In*<br />
fluenccd greatly by literature —<br />
early In hh life by tbc works of<br />
Shelley aad later In his life when<br />
he was suffering from physical and<br />
emotional problems.<br />
What Nobrl loved most were the<br />
Mealf (be literature presented. He<br />
regarded literature as a source of<br />
strength and health for humaotty.<br />

on the I'eice Prize, cited<br />

dipU"i*t who worknt with Nobel,<br />
and Bertha von Suttner. a pacifist<br />
at thai time, is other great in*<br />
fluencrs on Nobel's sympathetic<br />
altitude towards peace.<br />
Nobel believed thai countries<br />
must create in international<br />
security by having constant ar<<br />

ll I* Ironic that Nobel. *ha had<br />
Achieved his greatest lame at the<br />
imtnlor ol dynamite, had al***r*<br />
believed explosives .would **t as<br />
deterrent* to end at! wars.<br />
Since the explosives caused<br />
grr«ter damage In a short time, he<br />
thought, nations would not be at<br />
apt or hasty to become involved In<br />

Tony Gray, author of the bonk<br />
ChsmpJoci of fY«ce. points out<br />
ihat Nobel never truly believed<br />
that explosives would end all wan.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> very fact that he Included a<br />
Peace Prue among his awards ts<br />
proof lhat he hid no real faith la<br />
the validity of his argument.**<br />
Gray contends.<br />
"If he had. there would be no<br />
need to offer a prize for the champions<br />
of peace: for he had done<br />
more than any man until then to<br />

Primitive man existed at a lime<br />

understand anything about the<br />

elements that affected him, weh<br />
as heat and cold, rfjrfc and tight.<br />
or clear and storm/ wrutijer. He<br />
stood in awe at these and attributed<br />

which he came to tear.<br />
Today, In spite ot the general<br />
belief that vrerything In nature has<br />

body the chance to reovcr from<br />
the fatigue uf the day.<br />
However, there b noevidcece to<br />
prove 'hb, *nd our systems do not<br />
shut down during tlcep. and the<br />
brain never really reUi.<br />
Thfl other, more skeptical view,<br />
the adaptive theory, argues tha*<br />
sleep b a teamed process rather<br />
than instinctual.'Thb explanation<br />
maintains that skep b actually the<br />
result of the evolution of primitive<br />
man.<br />
According to ihis theory.<br />
primitive man found it safe and<br />
"About one third of our lives is<br />
spent sleeping ..."<br />
*£vcn more curious is the fact<br />
that sleep differs from person to<br />
person and tram age to age.<br />
Everyone's needs are different,<br />
and the old standard of eight<br />
hours per night no longer applies<br />
to all.<br />
lit fact, although the average<br />
sleep time for adults !* between<br />
seven and nine hours, there jre<br />
those who need as Ullle as three or<br />
lour hours,<br />
N«(>olcon was such a short<br />
sleeper. So wU Thomas Edbon.<br />
who resented *.* time sleep inok<br />
awiy from hb work and ateraged<br />
about tour hours of sleep a day.<br />
Even more extreme was a ^0year-old<br />
retired nurse from Lon*<br />
don who. after extensive testings,<br />
ihowco that she slept only about<br />
one hour each night.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n there are those who need<br />
more-than the average houn. A<br />
college professor was reported lo<br />
require 14 hours ot sleep pr n'*ht<br />
to function.<br />
Psychological differences between<br />
the two groups nf sleepers<br />
were detected by several studies.<br />
Short sleepers are generally efficient,<br />
extroverted, ambitious, and<br />

popular flavors are the fruit flavors. whbh include cherry,<br />
peach, lime, raspberry, strawberry, grape, banana, green apple,<br />
and watermelon.<br />
"Cheddar cheese, toffee, cinnamon, and caramel flavors<br />

Each month. Popcorncry offers a ten percent discount on a<br />
few flavors. For example. October's general flavors, representing<br />
Halloween, are hot pepper, peach, and root beer.<br />
Price* ran^c from 99 cents for a sample bag to S30 for the<br />

Tho Indians are 1-4 In league play «nj hare a slim chance to<br />
make the playoffs.<br />
I» there too much pressure on Iheie young men lo win?<br />
After the Indians won their tint gacie of the season a^aimt<br />
Redwood, they lost their next lour games, including their first<br />
lh ,sle«ne games. <strong>The</strong>se losses sparked talk around the<br />
^ which had been ^-quired after the Redwood<br />
• Are the ttadenU and fans being too hard on the football<br />
team? <strong>The</strong> fans do not gin: the team any credit. <strong>The</strong> athletes<br />
are not professionals, and they do try their be«.<br />
rrofessional athletes arc under so much pressure that they<br />
hare no room to make the slignleht error.<br />
When Ray Wenching missed the tying field goal against<br />
. Pittsbuigh. the media and the fans made a big deal out of it.<br />
All of a sudden, everybody forgot about Wersching's usual<br />
consistency. When Wenching kkked a last second Held goal<br />
agaliL»i the Rate? d iring the 49er championship season, he did<br />
not receive as m'ica attention r w his mUscd field goal against<br />
Pittsburgh.<br />
This type of pressure that professional athletes receive has<br />
alrcad* been passed down to the college level. Is it reaching the<br />
high school level, too?<br />
Of course, all teims want to win. but In high school they also<br />
want 10 enjoy and have fun. Even though the Indians' league<br />
record Is only one and lour, there should be more <strong>Lowell</strong> fans<br />
than visiting school fans aw home football game.<br />
So, regartllcu tl our football, basketball, baseball, or any<br />
other athletic team wins or loses. let's give them some credit<br />
and support. Remember, our athletes arr not professionals.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re"! a saying thai goes. "Women Just love a man in a<br />
uniform.**<br />
Well. I don't know about thai, but something happens when<br />
an athlete puts a uniform on.<br />
. .Whether it Is the Giants' orange and black, the silver and<br />
black of the Raiders, or tbe red and white of <strong>Lowell</strong>'s many<br />
sports teams, one thing holds true: the uniform is a symbol of<br />
confidence, pride, and pressure.<br />
""". As tryoutl begin for any sport, the player is an individual.<br />
. He oust Ceal with the rigors of {he tryout period, and he faces<br />
* 'j. this pressure alone.<br />
• • If the athlete males the ircm. his old ansicty vanishes. A<br />
:;neir pressure <strong>arrives</strong>. lhou»r,-: the necessity, to perform well.<br />
However, this is nn easier burden because those other players<br />

SB 813: Politics versus education?<br />
5FUSD. It stands Tor the San Francisco Unified<br />
School District. It b unified in its goal: to provide<br />
the best educatlcual system to the stadents of San<br />
Franchco. BUT IS THE SAN FRANCISCO<br />
SCHOOL DISTRICT R& U.Y UNIFIED?<br />
Looking at tlic actions taken by the UNIFIED<br />
school district with regard to the lengthening of the<br />
school day is stated in Senate Bill (now law) 813. the<br />
district I* nut unified.<br />
<strong>The</strong> district administrators and the teachers have<br />
not acted with the primary goal of doing what is twit<br />
for the rwdents* education* in the matter of SBH13.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have acted, it seems, with more of a goal of retalning<br />
and gaining political stability than with the<br />
goat of educating students. <strong>The</strong>y have placed their<br />
politics befo*c the itudcnu' educations.<br />
On August 30, too working day» before the<br />
•cheduled beginning of school. Shirley Thornton.<br />
Ihe Area Superintendent In chtr^t* ol all Snn Francisco<br />
high ichols, Usued a directive that stated that<br />
all high school! were to change their schedules from<br />
45 to 55 minute periods and shorten the lunch hour*<br />
;o 40 minutes.<br />
SB813 brings an addition to the total number of<br />
Instructions} minutes in the school year. SB813<br />
staled that if over a three year period from 1984 to<br />
1387. the individual school districts increased the<br />
number of minutes in school for students, the<br />
district would receive mare funding.<br />
<strong>The</strong> S»n Prancisco School District accepted the<br />
terms of SB813 on this matter *nd received 11 percent<br />
more money fur 1534 than it received in 1983.<br />
Instead of spreading the major change over the<br />
allotted three year period, two working days were<br />
given for the change to take place. <strong>The</strong> district ad*<br />
ministration had not consulted with the teachers<br />
about its Intentions or discussed the possible effects<br />
of such a change with them. It would appear that the<br />
Superintendent and the other administrators<br />
downtown were afraid that if they didn't instantly<br />
administer the change, someone from Sacramento<br />
would come to San Francisco, find that there was a<br />
high schoul student *ho wasn't attending school for<br />
the necevmry number of minute*, and take back the<br />
funds HI*en to the district. But this fear on the part<br />
of the school district was unwarranted; they were<br />
worried about something that didn't need lo be done<br />
until 1987.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bargaining agent fur the teachers nl present Is<br />
the Sa- * ' -n Classroom Teachers Association<br />
(SFCTA). But nut all tca:hcrs are members of the<br />
CTA. <strong>The</strong> San Francisco Federation of Teachers<br />
(SFFT), with which some tear hers aie affiliated, was<br />
at one time the bargaining agent for the San Fran*<br />
cisco teachers, but lost the position to the CTA when<br />
the teachers voted for which group they wanted to<br />
represent them.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re it one point that is needed to be clarified.<br />
<strong>The</strong> term "teachers" as used throughout thif<br />
editorial is nut refcrrinj- to individual teachers but<br />
rather the teacher organizations — the CTA and the<br />
SFFT.<br />
On No*ember 13. Ihe teachers officially lodged a<br />
protest at the Board nf Education meeting with<br />
regard to the lengthened day. <strong>The</strong>y claimed that the<br />
change in the school day was a change in working<br />
conditions not agreed upun in Ihe contract and ask*<br />
cd the Board of Education to rescind the longer day.<br />
It may have been purely coincidental, but<br />
November 13 was exactly one week after the 1984<br />
election, an election which included the balloting for .<br />
members of the Board of Education. Thrush the<br />
membership of the Board does not change until<br />
January. It seczis possible that the teachers may<br />
have waited until after the election to file their pro*<br />
test irr order to see if the new members of ihe Board<br />
of Education were likely lo be sympathetic to their<br />
requests. <strong>The</strong>re Is nothing wrong with this except<br />
that leaving individual teachers and students with a<br />
schedule that Is perhaps educationally unsound for a<br />
whole month does not ucm like a way to insure good<br />
education.<br />
In recent months the CTA and the SFFT have<br />
been trying to discredit each other to gain popularity<br />
for the next election.<br />
<strong>The</strong> divisivencss due to differences of opinion bet*<br />
ween the CTA and the SFFT Is a weakening factor in<br />
the current teachers' situation. If the CTA and the<br />
SFFT for once truly agreed upon the prob'cro and<br />
worked out possible solutions, they coutri perhaps<br />
reach er agreement with the school district administration<br />
which would be beneficial to the administration,<br />
lo ihe teachers, and most of all to the<br />
students.<br />
It is perhaps idealistic to hope that politics does<br />
not enter into the educational affairs when the Board<br />
of Education and the teachers' bargaining agent are<br />
elected through a political process.<br />
However, this is the United States and Idealism Is<br />
still alive. And idealism indicates that V the school<br />
district admini'tra.ors and the teachers gave more<br />
thought to what is best for the education of the<br />
students, the politics would fall into place. Both par*<br />
ties should not fotget the primary purpose of the<br />
educational institution.<br />
KFRC changes rules; angers <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
Parking alternatives needed<br />
Luwcll students who drive to school should be able<br />
to park to most convenient space* available.<br />
Howevci. this Is not the case. Daily unused spaces<br />
in the faculty parking lot arc off-limits to students,<br />
who are then forced to park farther away from the<br />
school.<br />
ITn faculty parktaf Idni typical day al 4 JO «-m.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most convenient place for students to park is<br />
•long Eutalyptus Drive. Unfortunately, puking is<br />
only permitted on one side of the street for an<br />
unlimited amount of time. All the other streets surrounding<br />
tbe campus bars two-hour parking only.<br />
Unless x student has a mod two or three <strong>class</strong>, and<br />
gets to school early, there arc no parking places left<br />
on Eucalyptus Drive. So. where are the' rest of the<br />
students supposed to park?<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are a limited number of parklug spaces<br />
along the driveway down to the teacher's parking lot.<br />
but not enough to accommodate all the cars at<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong>. Thus, a student must park along a street<br />
surrounding Lowc'J and move hU car every two<br />
hours or park m Ihe faculty pairing lot which is<br />
Always half rmii:j.<br />
Bniito the faculty parking lot. the only other<br />
ptrking lots al <strong>Lowell</strong> arc the smell faculty lot by the<br />
trcssclpalh and the lot located behind ihe football<br />
field, which is always half filled wilh cars from<br />
students who attend San Francisco State University.<br />
<strong>The</strong> question then Is. why is it such a problem if a<br />
student parks ir. Ihe faculty lot? Many teachers park<br />
along Eucalyptus Drive and don'l use the faculty<br />
parkins facilities. <strong>The</strong>y are inking away student<br />
parking spaces, and other facility members complain<br />
if a Undent parks in a half emply faculty lot.<br />
Jamc? Thomas, the dean in charge of parking at<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong>, does not SK a problem with students parking<br />
in the faculty lot. as long as it is at the end of Uu.<br />
lot where the teachers do not park. <strong>The</strong> problem is<br />
tliat teachers feel that if they leave school in the middle<br />
ol the day to pick up supplies, their parking<br />
place vrill be taken by a student, so that when they<br />
return lo school they hare lo pork in another snoot<br />
Because of this, the entire parking lot is off limits to<br />
students.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Lowell</strong> administration should concern Itself<br />
wilh the problem of student parking. Just as it is<br />
more convenient for some teachers to park along<br />
Eucalyptus Drive instead of the faculty lot. it h more<br />
convenient for some students to park «t the end of<br />
the faculty lot instead of behind the football field<br />
Since there are approximately •» available parkin a<br />
spaces in the facultytot everyday, the administration<br />
should make a provision to the parting rules that<br />
would allow students to park in a specifically defined<br />

But. the problem for many high schools, including<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong>, was thai Ihe rules were chanced sever: 1 -times<br />
daring ihe contest, making it vinii/it]*> impossible<br />
for them lo win.<br />
When the contest was first announced. _.c Lovcli<br />
Executive Council (LEO eageily look me challenge<br />
of publicising the contest at <strong>Lowell</strong> and urged all<br />
students to go to 7-ELEVEN Slorei and obtain is<br />
many ballots as possible. <strong>The</strong>n, members of the LEC<br />
stationed a box in the main hallway for Ihe filled-out<br />
ballots to be dropped oil. However. 7-ELEVEN's<br />
policy of "one ballot per customer" prompted many<br />
schools lo get ballots dirccly from the radio station.<br />
Next, the LEC asked i 1 post cards requesting<br />
ballots would be acceptable lo KFRC. A KFRC<br />
spokesperson at first said lhat they would be<br />
honored. But after the LEC sponsor readied some<br />
50.0CA) cards for distribution to registries fand from<br />
there lo KFRC). a contct official announced that<br />
post cards would NOT be acceptable - only Sellers<br />
requesting billots would be honored.<br />

A plan that is currently under<br />
study by the school department<br />
proposes to change all <strong>class</strong>es to<br />
"B/C equivalent" and to Tcieaie<br />
Ike modular system based on mods<br />
II. 12. 13 (11:45-12:00. 12:05*<br />
12:20.12:25-12:45).<br />
Such a schedule with alternating<br />
mods of IS and 20 minutes would<br />
mean that Tuesday and Thursday<br />
<strong>class</strong>es are 40 minutes while Monday.<br />
Wednesday and alternating<br />
Friday <strong>class</strong>es are 65 minutes.<br />
"B/C equivalency" refers to<br />
<strong>class</strong>es that blend uwlait activities<br />
with other instructional activitrss<br />
such as language labs.<br />
films, and scrclnars to equal the<br />
<strong>class</strong> lime of a regular "B/C*<br />
cou nc.<br />
However, for this to be accepted,<br />
members of the detriment<br />
must supervise the activities.<br />
monitor attendance, and give<br />
credit/grade fat (he activity.<br />
<strong>The</strong> "B^C equivalent" plan<br />
would pro*ii> 307.5 minimum<br />

Women in<br />
America<br />
"Don't you think a n>an it ihc mot* Important thing in the world?<br />
A woman itn'l a woman until the hai been married and h-d<br />
children.**<br />
Actrm Debbie Reynolds recited thew: word* -hen she sunvj in<br />
the film Tlie Tender Trap In 1955. Such statements nowadays would<br />
oo) onl- discourage ticket uU but would most likely ctuse p.-otciti.<br />
Yet. we mutt keep la mind Iba: Ms. Reynolds was only reflecting the<br />
tentimenu of the period. Tw of women once again.<br />
Ferraro's nomination was heralded cs a "Journey •yithoul precedent.**<br />
Later In her concession speech. **erraro stated e*en though<br />
Mondale "...did n* win thb nee tnr the prnidency. in 19M he waged<br />
another HalUe. a battle for equal opportunity. And that bit lie<br />
Waller Moadale won. American women will never again be second<strong>class</strong><br />
dtliou." 1 o-nnot *.clp but wonder if ttiete statements arc<br />
hyperbole or fact.<br />
Oetpiie the stalbtlc that women constitute S3 percent of eligible<br />
voters and have outnumbered men who vote since 1964. <strong>The</strong>y were<br />
not given lhe tight to vole until 1920. <strong>The</strong> Declaration of Icdependence,<br />
over a century before the 20th Amendment, espoused<br />
the theory that ali men arc created equal. I have taken for granted<br />
that the word "men" signified all members of the human race, irrrzsrdless<br />
of sex or i&clai background.<br />
Are men and women reaJ'y equal? <strong>The</strong> number of working mothers<br />
hai nearly tripled since 1950. Some 15.5 percent of families arc now<br />
headed by women, and &e salaries of almost sli mllllot' wives are<br />
higher than thote of their husbands. Besides Kcrraro's national<br />
recognition, there are countless successful women such as Supreme<br />
Court Justice Sandra f>ay O'Connor, aitronaut Sally Ride, and U.S.<br />
Transportation SccrcUT) Eliubcth Dole-<br />
It should be noted, however, that most top positions are not<br />
available to women. For example, only five percent of the nation** top<br />
executives are female. <strong>The</strong>re are on!y 24 women in lite 5J4-m<br />

newly named Carol Charming <strong>The</strong>ater.<br />
<strong>The</strong> director's first task Is to evnvert onte disks the card files<br />

room 120 will eventually have In lU Memory the nftmes and<br />
current addresses of alt graduates who have stayed in touch<br />
with their <strong>class</strong>es.<br />
When the transition from cards to disks is completed, the<br />
Association will be able to provide each graduating <strong>class</strong> with a<br />
printout ol names and addresses. For example, when the CIMS<br />

By Jason Mints<br />
So, what did >ou all think of your mid-term grades? I suppose<br />
more Importantly, what d'd all of vour parents think of<br />
your mid-term grades? "0i>. ' m't worry, mom. <strong>The</strong>se grades<br />
don't count anyway." It's amazing how many parents actually<br />
iaii for that one. but even more amazing how many don't and<br />
lecture their children for thr 26th time on the importance of<br />
grades. So why Is It thst every time we do something remotely<br />
unscholarly such us fall a <strong>class</strong>, we are bombarded with<br />
reminders that we attend one of the top twelve high schools in<br />
the nation? It's not like we don't feel stupid enough already.<br />
xhat with people on all sides of us in math <strong>class</strong> getting<br />
straight A's, Oh, well. 1 sure can't explain It. Just WI:I until<br />
the end of next month. Here comes lecture #27,,,<br />
What's happening? Is something the matter? 1 haven't seen<br />
any new graffiti on campus this month, have you? Except, of<br />
course, some new items on the walls and stalls of our beloved<br />
rcstraoms, some of which I hear in pretty amusing. <strong>The</strong> graffiti,<br />
that U...4J rt-eJ/ AS the condition of some of our restrooms.<br />
Why does If so often take three readings of an inscription<br />
before we a'c able to grasp the full meaning of such proCundi*<br />
ty? I ihinlr we ought to chain jn American Heritage Dictionary<br />
to each Mid even* stall, to serve a double purpose First, it<br />
would enable our creative artists to properly spell their >«cnr<br />
words. At the same time. It would prc.Jdc us something with<br />
Thich to dry our hands, an alternative to the present system of<br />
blowing until we turn blue in the face, since paper towels seem<br />
\j have been owned from <strong>Lowell</strong> High School. Aside from I he<br />
art in the restrooms. which Is often worth taking a look at. I<br />
think we're all done a great job cf keeping <strong>Lowell</strong> clean.<br />
No, he's not Kojak — take another guess. What is this??<br />
Can It be?? Is this hair upon which my gaze rests? Yes! <strong>The</strong><br />
real Mr. "Cut a <strong>class</strong>. Pick up trash" Thomas* hair l\ returning:<br />
surely, but very slowly. Thomas made a bet with<br />
Washington High School that he would shave his head if<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> did not emerge the champion In every category of I ait<br />
month's All-City track competition, and that he did. We ought<br />
to congratulate *1I of our runners, at <strong>Lowell</strong> for an outstanding<br />
performance: we took first place in every event...except<br />
one...and thus no hair to *peak of on the head of our dedicated<br />
Dean, who has proven himself a terrific cotch. an honorabte<br />
m*n, and certainly a man with a sense of humor. Such commitment<br />
to his runners...<br />
And speaking of commitments, have you made yours for ;hc<br />
16th? If you don't have a date by now, jou'd better hurry. As<br />
the SAB poster slogan goes, "Isn't it about lime >ou popped<br />
the question?" Mistletoe Magic (How much are tickets?.'!:) is<br />
soon (We pause for a courtesy choke). Yes, this U the Sixth<br />
Annual (but who's counting?) Winter Ball, and this time<br />
Music Masters will provide the entertainment. Sorry to disappoint<br />
any Collage fans out there, but the ever-popular quaildisco<br />
band from last year's ball will not be returning...too bad.<br />
But dances can be fun even with music that i*n*t so great, enn't<br />
they? Even without a date, can't they? Well. • suppose if we<br />
don't know, we could always ask senior Cindy Iketta. who did<br />
attend the Boat Dance with a date...at first. But it would seem<br />
that her date,.« |.mlar. got ^1. Don't ask how,<br />
for I must admit I sure don't know, * He, it is reported, paced,<br />
circled the parking lot at the dock, and searched far and wide<br />
for his date In the pouring rain, but to no avail. It was at this<br />
point which he set his priorities, the first of which was to obtain<br />
an umbrella. Ife found a place where his purchase could<br />
be made and scmchow managed to scrape up the cash, while<br />
Cindy began offering rewards at the dock for the safe return of<br />
her studly hunk. <strong>The</strong> hunk returned, but not until after the<br />
boat had left. So he went home In the rain, yet shielded from<br />
the downpour through use of his new inv..tmcnt.<br />
Teacher Appreciation Day Is the d/.y where students bring<br />
all of the apples to school which mom just bought at th- store,<br />
and whe* '-.ey sing songs to their teachers in many thanks for<br />
the Jailing grades* they are receiving. One morning about four<br />
weeks ago we walked into registry and heard the announce*<br />
meet, "Teacher Appreciation Day Is today." Well, that makes<br />
about as much sense at telling the Torld in the middle of June<br />
that Christmas will begin In five minutes. Bad planning. Santa...Oh.<br />
well. At teast one thing has been well planned. Very<br />
well planned, if 1 may say so. In a year where we are supposed<br />
to have longer school days, a longer school year and less vacation,<br />
it seems that Christmas this year Is at least as long, if not<br />
longer, than yean put. Have a good onet<br />

<strong>The</strong> art of napkin folding<br />
Dy Nora Tom<br />
Are you one of those pcopte who<br />
would rather dirty your formal<br />
wear than unfold a beautifully<br />
folded napkin at an elegant<br />
restaurant ?<br />
It that Is CM case. l>en learn the<br />
art of tupUn-folding, whkh is<br />
quite easy. Sooks on the tubket Illustrate<br />
how to fold napkins law<br />
altracthe designs for many occa*<br />
sions.<br />
Beautifully folded napkins add<br />
a special touch to any table and<br />
enhance any meal. So If there's a<br />
certain dttlgn In • restaurant you<br />
like, learn to fold It from a book,<br />
rather than permanently stain a<br />
favorite outfit.<br />
Napkin designs generally rail Into<br />
five categories.<br />
<strong>The</strong>- "sculptured" designs,<br />
w**tch stand straight up, are used<br />
for placing on the Ubk next to the<br />
plate.<br />
For peopk who like to decorate<br />
the plate, there arc the "Rit"<br />
dcsigni. In whkh the napkins are<br />
placed directly un the plate.<br />
If napkin rings arc note to your<br />
taste, try the "ring" designs for<br />
casual dinners.<br />
<strong>The</strong> "gobkt** designs are most<br />
appropriate for more formal occa*<br />
sions because the napkins are<br />
elegantly folded and placed directly<br />
In the water goblets or wine<br />
ilasses.<br />
For a large party, the "service"<br />
designs make perfect centerpieces:<br />
several napkins can be In*<br />
corporaud into one dei.^t. and used<br />
at a table decoration before the<br />
food Is served.<br />
For breaking those categories<br />
down Into designs for specific occasions,<br />
here arc a few suggested<br />
ideas.<br />
For lunch with friends, the<br />
"buffet server'* design is appropriate.<br />
But fur a Mule more<br />
creatHty, use the "special buffet<br />

"fan" designs enhance any meal<br />
with Oriental food.<br />
At the beach, try to use colorlul<br />
napkins folded In a slmpk design<br />
such as the "pyramid.**<br />
Any design is appropriate for<br />
dinner. Depending on the occasion,<br />
choose more elegant designs<br />
for the more formal dinners.<br />
Not t3 forget Christmas, the<br />
suggested ideas tor designs are the<br />
"bishop's" hat. the "cindle." the<br />
"crown." and the "rose."<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are several books on<br />
napkin-folding. S*pkU Folding<br />
by Irene Chalmers Is the easkst to<br />
understand. Th? directions are<br />
slmpk and the stcp-bystcp illustrations<br />
are very helpful. It b<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are many options<br />
available to the nhologra^her of<br />
today.<br />
One has the choice of getting, a<br />
camem in which only the skills of<br />
pointing the camera and pushing a,<br />
t-uttrn are requltiJ. IUCK as with<br />
the disc and pocket camera-, or of<br />

According lo Ruth Un of Sun<br />
Photo at Weil Portal,<br />
photography with tl>c disc, pocket,<br />
ard 126 millimeter camera* it not<br />
true photography.<br />
Usually, the photographer sees the<br />
Image at a slightly ollltrent angle<br />
from what the camera sc*s.<br />
With ih« pockrt camera*, the<br />
negative Is much smalhr than with<br />
the US millimeters. <strong>The</strong>refor*?, the<br />
photographs produced are cot as<br />
clear and sharp.<br />
Since most photographic<br />
knowledge comes from experience,<br />
the best way to learn photography<br />
is lo actvally shoot some film and<br />
learn from mistakes.<br />
According to Un, the most common<br />
mistakes Include not focusing<br />
correctly, not having the «r eel<br />
settings, not getting the total picture,<br />
and not loading the film properly.<br />

photography onl) begins with a<br />

For the beginning<br />

Such a camera Is the Pcntax K<br />

Bates COUCJJ has decided to<br />
make the SAT score an optional<br />
put of a student's admission<br />
package. "We want to put the erapiiatis<br />
on the student's four-year<br />
academic record and their extracurricular<br />
accompMihmcnts."<br />
•Unstated.<br />
Othrr universities following this<br />
IrenJ Include Bovdoln College<br />
(Maine). Sarah Uorence College<br />
(New Yc-k). and the University of<br />
Wisconsin. E\'n Harvard admissions<br />
officers are considering making<br />
this move.<br />
certainly arc more tpeclfk with a<br />
broader rank* ol test material.<br />
While th? SATs only tat verbal<br />
and math skill*, the Achievement*<br />

Latla. Hebrew. American<br />
history and social studies. Europnan<br />
History and world culture,<br />

According lo YVUilam Fitzilm*<br />
motu. Harvard admlstions director.<br />
"We've noticed over the past<br />
several years that Achievement<br />
Test scorn are slightly better<br />
predictors of freshman •year per*<br />
tormance than the SATt." Consequently.<br />
Howard has begun to pay<br />
more attention lo the Achievement<br />
Test remits.<br />
•Respite the growing discontent<br />
with the SAT. a majority of college*<br />
continue to employ U In their<br />
admissions procedure.<br />
James Rogers, dean of admissions<br />
at Brown University pointed<br />
out. "Any bit of information<br />
helps. We don't put gre*~ weight<br />
oa the SAT scores, but they are<br />
"...Achievement Test scores are<br />
slightly better predictors of<br />
freshman-year performance than<br />
the SAT's."<br />
Another argument oppoiing tett<br />
emphasis for college admission Is<br />
that because the SAT supposedly<br />
measures aptitude, which is<br />
sonuilmes mistaken for Intelligence,<br />
students think that, to<br />
VCt Into cotlcre, all they must do is<br />
score well on a genera) :«t that<br />
docs rot measure one's ability to<br />
learn. This lends to reduce • student's<br />
Incentive to study,<br />
A Hifcgcstcd solution would be<br />
to weigh the Achievement Tests<br />
moro heavily. <strong>The</strong>se tests are considered<br />
more comprehensive, and<br />
useful."<br />
At firown, eight percent of the<br />
19M freshman <strong>class</strong> had verbal<br />
scores In the 400'*. Some 40 percent<br />
had scores in Ihe 70O'i.<br />
One <strong>Lowell</strong> counselor cautioned<br />
that an important Idea lo<br />
remember Is that when applying to<br />
selective colleges, the SAT score l«<br />
often the only one facet of the candidate's<br />
total picture. Of equal Importance<br />
is • good high school<br />

But. are the SA^s really wrih ihe<br />

l>o they really measure aptitude<br />
accurately?<br />
Mcit <strong>Lowell</strong> students think not.<br />
Senior Gordon Tang remarkrd.<br />
"Whenever you takt a nulti^<br />
choke test, it's unfair because<br />
you're not allowed to tell whjr you<br />
picked V or *b*...U't not a think*<br />
Ing test." Jessica Leung, senior,<br />
adtied. <strong>The</strong> areas of the lest art<br />
not at all ct-cnprehtni've."<br />
A lew view the SAT »» an «Ccurate<br />
test of aptitude, but still do<br />
not think It can Indicate a student*',<br />
success, or failure, in col*<br />
Icfiv.<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> alumna Unda Woo CM)<br />
commented. "Sure. It measured<br />
my aptitude, but not my ability to<br />
learn, which is more Important in<br />
college. 1 *<br />
Many students polnlcJ out ;he<br />
popularity of SAT prep courses<br />
and the widespread uw go of<br />
specialized study guides. Are SAT<br />
scores really Indicative of aptitude<br />
If students can gain » hundred<br />
points through a prep course?<br />
Settlor Shoko K&shlyarna stated.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> SAT Is a good lndica*or ot<br />
intelligence, but prep, courses<br />
should not be offered because they<br />
simply elevate \corcs without<br />
teaching. Students, simply by oof<br />
.•"•ing a course, then become<br />
dtsadvanuged."<br />
Most studenu, even those with<br />
high scores, feel that the SATs are<br />
given too much Importance in col'<br />
lege admissions. Senior Brad Hopper<br />
remarked. "<strong>The</strong>re's too much<br />
importance placed oa them — the<br />
lest doesn't seem to be a telling Indicator<br />
of your learning ability.<br />
We've been taking the same kind<br />
of test for so long — it's too easy.<br />
too simplistic.**<br />
Students feet that grades and<br />
achievements should be more important<br />
to t,olk|*cs. Senior LeuaK<br />
added "I think that grades are the<br />
single most important factor.<br />
That's what you've spent four<br />
yrart workini* on. tah.'e the SAT**<br />
ju.i repment onu morning."<br />
So. If students are sure that the<br />
SAT scores are not a good measurr<br />
of their altitude or college success,<br />
why are they so resigned ID taking<br />
It and being measured by it?<br />
loAnn Stewart. English teacher.<br />
explained, "We need to have<br />
some kind ol standardized tests<br />
because high schools are different<br />
and have different grading stan*<br />
fianls* If admissions were based on<br />
grades alone, kids from .<strong>Lowell</strong><br />
would be at great disadvantage.**<br />
Sector Mike Zimmerman also<br />
noted the Importance of ihe SAT.<br />
STUDENT AI&<br />
and stressed that colleges keep the<br />
scores In perspective. He commented.<br />
"You know that coUeges<br />
look at Brides as well. <strong>The</strong>y want<br />
an over-all picture...mou kids<br />
won't get in on scores or grades<br />
alone." If It is true that uarrer*<br />
sitles should have a standardized<br />
test, is the SAT really standardized?<br />
Many stuoents complain ot<br />
poor testing conditions. Complaint*<br />
ot KOI C drills during an<br />
cum are cot uncommon, for ex*<br />
ample. Also, consider UH> students<br />
*bo opt to take the American Col*<br />

Intcr-club football is becoming more popular with<br />
every passing week here at Lowel!. After school on<br />
Thursdays and Fridays, for instance, there ai\>.<br />
usually at least two or three games on the football<br />
and soccer fields.<br />
Whin did ihis football phenomenon start? <strong>The</strong><br />
first official football game between clubs, as we<br />
know it. look place between the Adventurers' Club<br />
and Star Fleet Com naud during the fall semester of<br />
1983. <strong>The</strong> highly publicized contest was won b Siar<br />
Flee! Command. 28-M.<br />
After this first experiment, other organi/atiuns<br />
decided to schedule their own panics. <strong>The</strong> Lamc-O's<br />
Football Club, created for competitive play between<br />
its members, began to play ^antc^ against other<br />
clubs, such as the Basket: all Club, the<br />
Beatlcrrianiacs, the Comic Book Society, Epsilon.<br />
and the Comedy Zone \rraivhc.ich.<br />
With the inception of club football competition,<br />
another outlet for club unity and pride « s created.<br />
Entire club memberships turn out for the big event,<br />
if not to play, to cheer their comrades on to victor)'.<br />
In most cases to ;'aic. club football games have pnv<br />
vided healthy competition and a now sense ol .portsmanship<br />
for each club that has taken pan.<br />
Would it be possible to start an "Intcr-club Football<br />
League" this spring ut <strong>Lowell</strong>? If there is interest<br />
in this idea, the clubs and organizations at<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> should begin to organize it through the BSCS<br />
now, so thnt any problems could be ironed out.<br />
Let's keep club football games a strong part o! the<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> High School tradition.<br />
D •'<<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sa Francisco 49crs ars not only or.i: ol the<br />
best teams in professional football, but they arc a<br />
team with character.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 49ers might not be very flashy, but they arc<br />
lough and sharp and can beat u team on any level.<br />
Joe Montana runs one of the most complicated<br />
and accurate passing attacks in the NFL. He mixes<br />
up is air attack with long and short throws to all his<br />
receivers tn backs. When the 49crs arc no' throw-<br />
ing the ball. Wendell Tyler and Roger Cr:iig i'a/_/.ic<br />
defenses with their brilliant, rugged running<br />
Not only are the 49crs able to score points, but<br />
their hard nose defense shuts down opposing teams<br />
and always makes the big play. <strong>The</strong> defense is lead<br />
by players like corncrback Ronnie Lott. who often<br />
comes up from covering iiis receiver to make vicious<br />
hits on opposing running backs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> team not only depend.; on veteran players,<br />
like- Jack Reynolds, but also has rookies, such as<br />
Todd Shell, getting in on the action.<br />
What makes 'his 49cr team unique is that thsv<br />
have personality. <strong>The</strong> players and coaches take each<br />
game as it comes, and are not big talkers. Thcv do<br />
not make predictions on their upcoming games. t!ic<br />
playoffs, or the Super Bowl.<br />
Jn the tielil. the team plays with dignity an;!<br />
pride. You very rarely set Bill Walsh blow up at an<br />
official because he disagrees with a ca'.l. Even<br />
though the players get very emotional jnd<br />
sometimes frustrated, they very rurrlv get into<br />
fights. <strong>The</strong>y arc .ible to accept the referee's calls and<br />
control their enu lions towards opposing players.<br />
This character which the 49ers possess makes<br />
them a true professional foothiJI team! H w<br />

LEC organizes fundraiser for Ethiopia<br />
One of tfre frequently overlooked function of studcnl<br />
government at <strong>Lowell</strong> is to sponsor mini-course*<br />
which inform <strong>Lowell</strong> students about current isAues in<br />
and out of school.<br />
In the put, thU ha* been done on certain days such as<br />
"NurJear Awareness Day," when a representative<br />
from a certain society would come to <strong>Lowell</strong> and give<br />
out button* and bumper stickers and talk to ihc students<br />
who passed by the booth about crucial world topics..<br />
Now, with respect to past student government effortt.<br />
the <strong>Lowell</strong> Executive Council (LEC) may have<br />
put into practice the most effective mcaiu of both making<br />
students aware of a world problem and helping to<br />
alleviate the problem.<br />
World hunger is the problem, ind according to the<br />
LEC, rundraising is the answer at <strong>Lowell</strong>. <strong>The</strong> ability<br />
to run an effective fundraiiing program at <strong>Lowell</strong> is<br />
evident as the 3,000 students and faculty members at<br />
the school would guarantee an adcquiic number of<br />
participants.<br />
As for the reasons for starting a fundraising program,<br />
recent statistics show that 33.000 people die<br />
everyday throughout the world because of starvation.<br />
Much publicity has been given to the problems in<br />
Ethiopia, and although impressive help has been forthcoming,<br />
the problem continues — not just tn Ethiopia<br />
— but throughout the many Third World rations.<br />
Every contiibution helps, according to non-profit<br />
organizations such 3s Impact On Hunger and CARE.<br />
Students hamper immunizations<br />
California and San Franciso» laws set clear irimunUation<br />
reqjircmciiis far all students concerning<br />
vaccination aiuin>t ceruin disease*. Despite tlic<br />
generally effective efforts of Loucll High School to<br />
conform 10 these requirement'., problems have surfaced<br />
that muM be considered.<br />
<strong>The</strong> system used at <strong>Lowell</strong> m insure thai all Mudcms<br />
have been properly immunised is not the prunlcn.<br />
Students who appeared not to ha\c .ill or the nevco^.,<br />
vaccinations were notified and cxjtcctrd to citht t „ ' •<br />
proof that their immunizations were actually up-to-t^ir<br />
or to get the proper doses.<br />
Ihc school was more thjn helpful in this rcsp. '.. On<br />
December 7, nunc* from the district's health center<br />
came to <strong>Lowell</strong> to provide a clinic where students were<br />
able to receive the vaccine for measles and rubella.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was no charge for these vaccinations.<br />
After the Tint notification, it was announced thai<br />
beginning on Dcccmter 12. students lacking the proper<br />
immunizaiioi record would not be allowed to attend<br />
any o*" ihci' clawcs until Uwy satisfial the<br />
requirement/.<br />
Tliis uitimafjm. althuugh nec«\ary. caused ore pn.<br />

*_*;JI rccordi, >nd the academic drive found in nuist<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> savleu^.. took the ultimatum as an epportunity<br />

them ctm- to Lcmcll and spent their dxu time<br />
Anther problem. j»crhaps mofc serious, ha*, to do<br />
with the students from Louell who stil! have not<br />
rcccned the required vaccinations. Trie patents itl<br />
these students, hase been notified, arvi their runes hase<br />
been vent to the Depart IT. nt ol' Health. As oi the tost<br />
count. KvAevcr. there were still 73 inadequately \.iccinatcd<br />
students at Lou ell<br />
Who. then, is responsible for resolving these problems?<br />
Vie Until believes that it is the Muil.-nts<br />
;hcm.»clves.<br />
ut of 1.055 students who had inadequate immunization<br />
records on file at the beginning of the<br />
-chonl year, only 73 remain. It is a snv'l number who<br />
arc being negligent in their t;sponsiMlitics to the rest<br />
of the student body and all of society.<br />
Some people may consider immunizations a trivia!<br />
matter. <strong>The</strong> truth is. however, that there have been outbreaks<br />
uf mcaslc*. runclla. and mui.ips in California's<br />
recent past.<br />
LJWIUU- n>cani lobe in the best interests of the people.<br />
In the present situation, students should realize<br />
svheic their best interests lie and act accordingly.<br />
which need assistance in their efforu to I dp others in<br />
Africa. Asia, and South and Central Amt ica.<br />
If the 3.000 people at <strong>Lowell</strong> gave jusi on.; dollar<br />
each, there would be S3.000. and $3,000 could be the<br />
minimum goal of such a project. <strong>The</strong> Lowett feels thai<br />
effort* by Mudcnt g-' :rnmen: in thir rc^an; will be<br />
must tmnonant and worthy of full student participation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> editors hope that all student* contribute in<br />
some way, and ge crously. to make this program<br />
work.<br />

Several of ihe clubs provid; service by goi"3<br />

time aiding the elderly.<br />
Some do volunteer uork like the Students for Animal<br />

It is important for clubs to icalizc that part ol their<br />

community, be tt in or out of school.<br />
If a club fails to complete .. service project, the BSCS<br />
levies a $75 fine. When this fine is paid, it i» di-.utcd to<br />
a charity. Hither way. the community benefits.<br />
Luuell dutn provide a saluable service by completing<br />

DANCING..<br />
<strong>The</strong> Palladium<br />
ByMarkSchocller<br />
Do you liVc to dance? Do you enjoy meeting new<br />
people? Or do you just need a place to "hang out?" If<br />
you answered "yes" to these questions. <strong>The</strong> Palladium<br />
may be for you.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Palladium calls itself a restaurant, but its three<br />
dance floors, giant video screen, flashing lights, and<br />
blasting music make it clear that this is no eating<br />
establishment. This is a place for young people to<br />
dance.<br />
Personal opinions about <strong>The</strong> Palladium vary.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> Palladium is a great place to meet other people,"<br />
stated senior Lysa Lewin. "I've met a lot of people<br />
lliere."<br />
"For me, <strong>The</strong> Palladium is a terrific place to go with<br />
a large group of friends and party," said junior Chris<br />
Cri«era.<br />
Other students disagree. "<strong>The</strong> Palladium is just a<br />
slimy, pick-up 'joint," commented senior David<br />
Schachman. "I've never had a good time there."<br />
•'I've never met anyone I wanted to know," added<br />
senior Richard Weeks.<br />
Senior Angie Artemoff had this to say: "I just go to<br />
daiice. I only can dance about once a month at <strong>Lowell</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Palladium gives me the opportunity to dance practically<br />
anytime I want!"<br />
<strong>The</strong> club has a five dollar admission fee. but two-forone<br />
coupons are available in Quake magazine and also<br />
inside at the door. Don't come thirsty. Drinks are expensive.<br />
One glass of water costs 75 cents.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Palladium is open Thursday through Sunday<br />
from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. One mus: be 18 or older to<br />
attend.<br />
On Thursday and Sunday, the evenings are sponsored<br />
by radio station KQAK, which plays the "Rock<br />
of the "30's." On Friday and Saturday, soul is<br />
featured. A disc jockey plays all the music.<br />
Vie Palladium is located on 1031 Keamy Street<br />
(near Broadway). Gall 434-1308 for more information.<br />

Wolfgang's<br />
By Debbie Manor<br />
"Dance, donee" is 'Xc theme of Saturday nights at<br />
Wolfgang's Nightclub and Restaurant.<br />
Located rt 901 Columbus between Chestnut and<br />
Lombard. Wolfgang's seems to be known to <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
students, but not popularly attended by them.<br />
Junior Lynn Chang siatcs, "I don't go to<br />
Wolfgang's because all my friends go to the<br />
Paliadhrr.."<br />
Senior Paul Coleman gives the reason far the RonaHcrJjncc<br />
by LoweUiles as the feir that the, will be<br />
checked for identification.<br />
Most students do not realize that Saturday night is<br />
the only night at Wolfgang's whae they have a<br />
minimum age limit, which is 18, and identification is<br />
required. All other nights, aU iges are welcome.<br />
<strong>The</strong> nightclub offers a video screen featuring the<br />
latest videos, two dunce floors accommodating 600 to<br />
700 people, dinners and snacks, popukr entertainers,<br />
and a variety of music ranging f.-om j»tz to haij rock.<br />
Wolfgang i selection of popular cricrtainers is one<br />
of its most appealing attractions. Tb: owucrs present<br />
a variety of bands every uight, exeep: Saturday, when<br />
they have a disc jockey.<br />
Some of the recent performers included a new band<br />
called Rising Force OD January 11. Tokyo Vogue on<br />
January 12, and the Bobcat on Janui/7 18.<br />

(lined at Vie Other Cafe<br />
X,as well.<br />
I the entertainment itself,<br />
fe seems to be liked by the<br />
audience as well as the comedians for its<br />
atmosphere.<br />
"This is a great place because it's not<br />
'ike ihc comedian is up on a big stage<br />
ill by himscir. li's more personal, and<br />
I think many of the comedians rely on<br />
heavy audience participation or<br />
response." stated Greg Tolby. a member<br />
of the audience this particular night.<br />
Hi-continued, "I think it's a treat way<br />
to spend an evening. I m^an. with movie<br />
prices so high, it's a way to enjoy<br />
something completely different for a few<br />
dollars more. Comedy is addicting,<br />
though."<br />
Bill Caipinc, who works the door three<br />
nights a week, observed. "I think Vie<br />
Other is one of the more liked comedy<br />
clubs in the city because it's more relaxed,<br />
homey, and ha< a nice ambiatice. For<br />
me, this job seems more like a social<br />
outlet than a job."<br />
Goldlhwa : t. *ho often headlines at Vie<br />
Other Caff agrees. "This is like my<br />
favorite place to play because the audience<br />
is pretty hip and there rcaily isn't<br />
any pressure here. <strong>The</strong> size is just right<br />
and the atmvsphcrc is nice."<br />
"Fooling amund. or cvperimenting, 10<br />
put it more respectably, is encouraged<br />
here, unlike some other clubs where you<br />
feel like you're under presvjre to impress<br />
somebody. And it's 'accessible to all<br />
MUNI lines." joked Tom Kenny, T<br />
member of the comedy trio. Uncle<br />
Slinky's Pipsy Doodle Revue, who often<br />
plays Tin- Other Cafe.<br />
Paul Kozlowsky. anoihcr msmbcr of<br />
Uncle Stinky's, added, "Sometimes, this<br />
place doesn't even feei like a club<br />
because the windows (which cover an entire<br />
side of the stage) provide a special<br />
outlet. It encourages improvisations,<br />
usually of people walking outside or<br />
something."<br />
On October 31 of last year. Vie Other<br />
Cafe oocned a branch in Pucito Vallur-<br />
M. Mexico. Romcr conceded that their<br />
new bushev; is doing well, but is still<br />
in its growing stage where ihcy ire "still<br />
testing the water."<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir business here in the city, on the<br />
other hand, may be labeled * success.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cafe is usually full for pcrtbri.-unce.<br />
on Wednesday through Sunday, -vhen<br />
they have a hcadlincr. Mondays and<br />
Tuesdays arc usually comedian auctions.<br />
Admission fee for Mondays and<br />
Tuesdays is S2. and varies for Wednesday<br />
through Sunday shows, depending<br />
on the day and the hcadliner. For.more<br />
information, one may call 681-0748.<br />
(Editors nole: three of the clubs reviewed in this<br />
section have an admission policy of "111 years and<br />
older." <strong>The</strong>y have reputations of being popuiir<br />
among many'Pay Area young adults.)<br />
'Night Life'<br />
is fine,<br />
but...<br />
While some young people envision<br />
the ideal adult evening out as<br />
dining and dancing at a prputar<br />
night club, other teenagers have a<br />
different view of what goes into a<br />
fun-ftllcd evening.<br />
In the informal poll conducted at<br />
*chool. some SO student* were uked,<br />
"What t\ your idea of a Tun*<br />
evening?" <strong>The</strong>ir responses were<br />
many and varied.<br />
Seven students responded that<br />
going out to dinner, followed by an<br />
evening of dancing is their favorite<br />
way of enjoying a night ot fun.<br />
Two varied a Nt from this pattern<br />
and said that go.ng to a movie after<br />
dinner would be preferable, and<br />
two others picked going to a party<br />
after dinner.<br />
Spending an evening at the<br />
movies was the first choice of five<br />
students (skipping a dinner out),<br />
and three suggested visiting a<br />
favorite pizza parlor before going<br />
home, while two voted for Mopping<br />
off at tin ice cream parlor.<br />
Four Lowcllitcs indicated that<br />
having a party evening was 'heir<br />
idea of ihc mow fun. Four athletic<br />
students picked an evening of bowl'<br />
ing as their most enjoyable activity.<br />
Driving ami cruising amund in a<br />
fancy sports car was listed oy ihrcc<br />
seniors at a way of having a satisfying<br />
lime.<br />
Otcr a do/cn vudents reminded<br />
in A general way. indicating J\ long<br />
at they were with friends, they<br />
would be content. A senior stated.<br />
"'A fun ni^hi out doc\ not rcilly o>pend<br />
on what you actually do.<br />
Everything depends on whom you<br />
arc with. If you go out with someone<br />
you like or with someone<br />
who is just fun to b£ around, you<br />
can"! misv"<br />
A junior commented. "I like inviting<br />
some friends over and doing<br />

most anything together." Another<br />
junior reflected. "I always have<br />
lots cf fun whenever 1 am with my<br />
favorite friends, no matter what we<br />
do."<br />
<strong>The</strong> remaining responses were<br />
mostly i-.dtviduali7cd in nature and<br />
did not fit a specific category.<br />
A junior opted for in evening of<br />
ptaying Trivial Pursuit. Another<br />
junior cited, *'... walking up and<br />
down Haight Street with my<br />
gang."<br />
"To me, an ideal evening is one<br />
that merely deviates from ths<br />
routine that I am accustomed to on<br />
weekdays," offered one senior.<br />
Washing television wts mentioned<br />
by on!y two student*. A<br />
senior chose "... having a pujama<br />
party." as her number one choice.<br />
Anoihcr said, "... going out and<br />
having a big banana split.* Other<br />
responses included, "... renting a<br />
good fT-ovic." "... getting a full<br />

about cramming for exams." "...<br />

believe that Ivy League credentials<br />

While SAA applicants must<br />
generally meet the same re*<br />

students. Title VI of the Civil Right*<br />

missions criteria" if tiwy determine<br />
ihu it is necessary for a fair appnisal<br />
of the academic promise of<br />

While SAA h*s long been a contrmersial<br />
issue, there are a number<br />
of arguments in its favor. As<br />
previously stated, rninority enrollment<br />
figures are disproportionately<br />
low compared to their percentage of<br />
the general population. Of Jiesc<br />
students, many are unable to complete<br />
their undergraduate education.<br />
and few attain postgraduate degree*-<br />
A major reason a that many inner<br />
city schools with predominantly<br />
minority constituencies lack the<br />
funds and resources necessary to<br />
adequately prepare their students for<br />
i college education. In addition, as<br />

<strong>The</strong> 49ers have a diversified offense that can beat an<br />
opposing team on the ground or hrough the air. <strong>The</strong><br />
Dolphins, on the other hand, have an explosive air attack<br />
that can score at any time. Eloih teams have extremely<br />
strong defenses as demonstrated throughout<br />
the playoffs.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no clear favorite in this closely matched<br />
Super Bowl. Both coaches are masters of the game of<br />
football, and both teams are well prepared for the<br />
game. It will mist likely be a game decided by which<br />
team makes the fewest mistakes. <strong>The</strong> only advantage in<br />
the game can RU V J *.- 49crs because they are playing<br />
in their home i< >u and have won eleven straight<br />
games.<br />
This Super Bowl should be a truly super gumc.<br />
Now that we have outlined what we think will be major<br />
factors in Super Bowl XIX, here arc the predictions<br />
of some <strong>Lowell</strong> students and faculty (we will give our<br />
predictions at the end of the column):<br />
Junior Chris Crisera believes that Super Bowl XIX<br />
will be B "Rock "em-Sock 'cm" football game with<br />
heavy hitting end plenty of offense and defense. 49crs<br />
21, Dolphins 17.<br />
Senior Kevin Allen thinks the Dolphins will win<br />
(predicted sccic of 33-30), saying, "My heart's with<br />
the Niners, but mrj money's in the rigiit place."<br />
"I think the 49ers wil! beat ihe Dolphins 26-13."<br />
said sophomore Bumey Navas, adding, "but<br />
remember, I'm not <strong>The</strong> Greek!"<br />
Senior Nick Fiorcntinos. assured of his accuracy in<br />
projecting the Niners 31-21 winners, commented, "I'll<br />
\» right because J am <strong>The</strong> Greek."<br />
After giving her prediction-(S.F. 24. Miami 21),<br />
freshman Bonnie Garcia meekly added, "Marino's<br />
gonna elic!"<br />
Senior John Tuiasosopo (a cousin of 4°ers defensive<br />
lineman Manu Tuiasosopo) confidently predicted a San<br />
Francisco win by the score of 27-20 after giving a fiveminute<br />
preview of the game.<br />
Security aide Ron Hodges, on the other hand, exclaimed<br />
that be "wasn't crazy" and rested his opinion<br />
in a 35-20 Dolphin win.<br />
Arid would a list of predictions be complete without<br />

Daar Editor:<br />
This letter is concerning the inefficiency<br />
and inluitncta of Self-<br />
Scheduling Diy.<br />
On January 30. I9K5. <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
. Modems were given the "unique"<br />
opportunity of choosing their<br />
couno at well as their icachen for<br />
the upcoming spring semester.<br />

felt ..Sat Self-Scheduling Day w»<br />

I believe that dqiartmrnt head*,<br />

Scroll members, and student<br />
government officrrs should prognm<br />
students inf J <strong>class</strong>cv In other<br />
words, students should not be allow*<br />
ed to program their own schedules.<br />
In my opinion, students should only<br />
be given the dunce to telec* their<br />
courses and net their teacher*. This<br />
method of scheduling will present<br />
unnecessary frustration, confusion,<br />
and headaches.<br />
Furthermore, the unfortunate<br />
snidents who chene lost or near last<br />
on Self-Scheduling Day felt that<br />
they had all the leftovers, fhti<br />
system ofchoosing teacher* is simply<br />
unfair. I do understand that the<br />

will hare the oppominirv to choose<br />

Author clarifies story<br />
Dear Editors,<br />
Since I have never had the<br />
privilege of vuiting an Ivy League<br />
institution, try impressions of Ivy<br />
League schools were based solely<br />
on information from three current<br />
Ivy League students, one alumnus<br />
and several publications which I<br />
referred to. My article's intent was<br />
not tr scare away potcn*' Ivy<br />
Leaguers, but to present an vbjec*<br />
live analysis — the advantages AND<br />
disadvantages of attending these<br />
schools.<br />
I did not interview any adnuiucm<br />
directors, a factor for whkb 1<br />
apologue, since their vie** -*xre<br />
not prescated in the article.<br />
Everyone has their own opinions —<br />
the information in my article<br />
reflected the viewpoints cf those<br />
whom I did ulk to.<br />
However, if tb« Harvard<br />
representative chuutes to focus on<br />
the so called "inaccuracies" in my<br />
article, he should have memioncd<br />
the fact that the tuition fees 1 listed<br />
are acto&lly even higher now (1<br />
Usted 1982*83 figures only) Even<br />
with a considerable finaockl aid<br />
package, many students still have to<br />
have sufficient fiosocial resources<br />
of their own to be able to attmd<br />
these schools. <strong>The</strong> general consensus<br />
among sources WAS that, indeed.<br />
a majority of Ivy Leaguers art from<br />
upper middle <strong>class</strong>, white collar<br />
families.<br />
Also, when I wrote that a «"ident's<br />
hopes on being accepted<br />
depended greatly on "chance." I<br />
did not mean lhat college official*<br />
cait the names of all their tpplic-nti<br />
into a birrcl and then randomly<br />
drew out the ones who would be accepted!<br />
I simply meant that it b oifficult<br />
for students who apply to soch<br />
schools to get in. because these,<br />
highly selective schools only pick<br />
f nxp the cream of the crop of the<br />
country's high school students.<br />
Since top student* apply to such<br />
school*, they arc enrnpeting with<br />
other top students front all over the<br />
country, and If they are accepted,<br />
tncy should consider themselves<br />
lucky. Many applicants who do<br />
have the qualificaVoas arc tcjccttd<br />
simply because (here are too many<br />
applicants and not enough room for<br />

Court eases grounds for search & seizure<br />
BySbokoKahljama<br />
<strong>The</strong> Supreme Coun, citing the<br />
growing problem of disorder in the<br />
public schools, ruled thtt school<br />
teachers end administraton may<br />
tench a student whenever there are<br />
"reasonable grounds" to think thai<br />
• student may hive violated the<br />
Khool rules or the Uw.<br />
Trus ruling was made on January<br />
13 by a vote of 6*3. <strong>The</strong> court main.<br />
taiaed that ttudenti are entitled to<br />
some protection under the Fourth<br />
Amendment, which Kates. "<strong>The</strong><br />
right of the people...against<br />
unreasonable searches and seizure,<br />
shall not be violated."<br />
But unlike police, school<br />
authorities do not need a wanant In<br />
order to conduct a search. A student<br />
may al» now be- searched under<br />
"'reasonable ground* * at opposed<br />
to the previous requirement of<br />
"probable cause" which involves<br />
more fV^^ifi and evidence.<br />
<strong>The</strong> majority rule also statrd that<br />
the searches must be "reasonably<br />
related to their objectives and not<br />
excessively intrusive" In view of<br />
.the age and sex of the staSem and<br />
nature of the infraction.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Supreme Court's ruling caiuc<br />
after three lower court proceedings<br />
and nearly five yean, involving a<br />
student and an administrator, who<br />
searched her purve on "reasonable<br />
grounds."<br />
Ine case oegan wttcn <strong>The</strong>odore<br />
Choolick. an av^ant vice-princip«l<br />
at Piscauway High School in New<br />
Jersey, searched me pune or a<br />
female student who was reportedly<br />
smoking in the tearoom.<br />
Although the girl denied that she<br />
ever smoked. Chop lick found<br />
cigarettes, marijuana, and some<br />
notes suggesting that she was selling<br />
Ihc drug to other students, upon<br />
searching her purse.<br />
Choplick then notified the girl's<br />
mother and the police. During questioning<br />
at police headquarters, the<br />
girl admitted to idling marijuana at<br />
school. She was trio], found guilty.<br />
adjudged a delinquent, and placed<br />
on probation for ooe year.<br />
Bttt later on, the Supreme Court<br />
of New Jersey upheld contentions<br />
by the student's lawyers that the<br />
evidence (the contents of her purse)<br />
could not be used against the girl<br />
since the evidence was obtained<br />
under "reasonable grouwL." »ti<br />
was insufficient grounds for a<br />
search prior to the last court ruling.<br />
New Jersey officials then appealed<br />
the case to the high court, arguing<br />
that the aclniionary rule<br />
shouldn't apply ta searches of<br />
juveniles in school.<br />
<strong>The</strong> nwtl recent ruling by the<br />
Supreme Court revered tic sutc<br />
court and found that Chopiitk's actions<br />
were not unrcaKwuh*? under<br />
the circumstances.<br />
<strong>The</strong> nil in* is coniiiUnt with<br />
previous court decisions extending<br />
•tome constitutional protection to<br />
students, tut not allowing the exact<br />
application uf the same rights that<br />
adults arc granted.<br />
One example of this is the court's<br />
Jeciitoo that, although students facing<br />
suspension arc entitled to rotk-e<br />
and a hearing, they do not have the<br />
right tn a lawyer or to present a<br />
witness at such proceedings.<br />
Justice Byron R. White, tn<br />

accommodatinc ground for two<br />

Litter raises fuss<br />
By Gordon Tang<br />
On Monday. Principal Fibish announced<br />
that due to the dirty condi*<br />
tions during the previous week, room '<br />
246 would be dosed on Tuesday, and<br />
all eating in the hills would be banned<br />
until Wednesday.<br />
Sound familiar? <strong>The</strong> same announcement<br />
was made last October.<br />
Despite more "announcements"<br />
since October, plus the ban of the<br />
removal of salads from the cafeteria,<br />
the overall situation has remained the<br />
same.<br />
"A group of really irresponsible<br />
students has created this situation,"<br />
said Principal Alan Fibtsh.<br />
However, questions arise as to the<br />
rdttjuacy of only two daytime custodians<br />
at <strong>Lowell</strong>.<br />
In fad, of all the public high<br />
schools, LowJI has the fewest number<br />
of custodians per wudent. While<br />
many schools only have two daytime<br />
custodians, they also have fewer<br />
students.<br />
Fibish argues, however. "<strong>The</strong><br />
garbage problem is not a custodian<br />
problem: it is a student problem. It<br />
is the poor attitude ofthe students....<br />
When you have a dirty room, you<br />
can't blame the maid."<br />
Robert Hicks, auburn principal at<br />
Lincoln, further adds. "<strong>The</strong>re is really<br />
DO reason for ga.1iage probfcms-...Tbcy<br />
(the ittdcna) wouldn't<br />
throw trash on uw lloor at home."<br />
At the present time, the custodians<br />
cannot handle more than two major<br />
ckaoup jobs at a time. However.<br />

Fibish insists, "More custodians<br />
wouldn't help the situation. Even<br />
with seven custodians you can't dean<br />
up for 3.000 student*. Only if you<br />
had one (a custodian] for each student<br />
could you cban up after them."<br />

Deficits threaten<br />
national security<br />
By Robert Kim<br />
Unless action b taken soon, the<br />
unprecedented sue of the budget<br />
deficit threatens to cripple the<br />
United Stales by boosting Inflation,<br />
interest rates, ard unemployment-<br />
Currently, the disparity between<br />
government expenditures and that of<br />
acquiring revenue is in otcess of<br />
$200 billion a year and the projected<br />
deficit for 1989 b KM billion.<br />
What we need to c-mb* the<br />
growing deficit is a plan that raises<br />
additional money and cuts government<br />
spending.<br />
Pint the fide deficit, the shortfall<br />
between the anxunts of goods the<br />
US imports and whal it ex^r,'.<br />
must be dealt with. <strong>The</strong> tn-^c<br />
deficit, caused by the strength of the<br />
dollar abroad, makes US capons<br />
more expensive, therefore hum<br />
American companies. Tfib. in turn,<br />
coefibutes to the growth of<br />
p py<br />
mem and reduced ula will eventually<br />
lead to a receutoo.<br />
Next, we must trim the defem*<br />
budget. President Ronald Rcsgzn<br />
had desired a defense budget of<br />
$286 billioo. but alter Congreu<br />
premiered him, he compromised a»J<br />
agreed on $277.5 billion. Th'j,<br />
however, h still more than S pcixeM<br />
above the total that Cooprcsi voted<br />
Tor the 1985 fiscal year defense<br />
budget. TTK new budget b ttill too<br />
great and must be cut.<br />
I* it fair that the President wutts<br />
an increased defense budget while<br />
he plans to cut student-loan prog.inu<br />
and funds for the National<br />
Endowment for the Aruf<br />
reduce deductions; this would increase<br />
the amount of taxable<br />

plan would not raise any additional<br />

percent to 30 pftr.nl. j modified<br />

Several factors braght about IIK<br />
current famine, including the expansion<br />
of the Sahara desert r*A a<br />

nearly 30 other African nations.<br />
Poor agricultural method*<br />

soaring binhrate.<br />
Though the famine was predicted<br />
as early *t 1992. both Western<br />
governments ami the Ethiopian<br />
regime were cither slow, or unwilling,<br />
to react. <strong>The</strong> Reagan Ad*<br />
ministration was reluctant to commit<br />
long-term development aid to a<br />
socialist suie. while Ethiopia's Col.<br />
Mengism Hiilc Mariam »-ai accused<br />
of using the fairine to weaken<br />
Eritrean and Tigre separatist<br />
movements in drought-sirickcn northern<br />
Ethiopia.<br />
By the time a BritiUi Broadcasting<br />
Corp. film aierted the world to the<br />
Ethiopian crisis, in October. 1984.<br />
the famine had reached catastrophic<br />

Wars." the program that may<br />
render enemy ICBMt (intercontinental<br />
ballistic miuiies) "impotent<br />
and obsolete" by ihr* use of interctptir<br />
rockets and lasers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Star ^Vio defensive system,<br />
describes James Fletcher, a science<br />
adviser to Reagan, is divided into<br />
three intercept phases in which<br />
enemy mrsilcs will encounter in<br />
succession.<br />
TV first phase, called the boost<br />
intercept, tikes ptacc immedlitely<br />
, after the launching of enemy<br />
missiles. "Battle station" satellites<br />
armed with "hyper-velocity guf»"<br />
use electromagnetic energy to accelerate<br />
"smart bullets." <strong>The</strong> smart<br />
bullets possess enough kinetic<br />
energy "to tear apart the miuJc<br />
before it comp>ctes its ascent,"<br />
describes Fletcher.<br />
While ir space, the enemy<br />
missiles would each release up to<br />
tea bdcpcndcntly targeted nuclear<br />
warhead^. US space-based sensors<br />
using Usrr probes would detect the<br />
warheads and guide thousa:.<br />

option, both for the Soviet<br />
Union and the United Sutes." if<br />

In addition. Stir Wars would inevtubly<br />
reduce the damages inflicted<br />
by a nuclear attack.<br />
Pcrhips the best argument for<br />
moving tentatively w ith Star Wars is<br />
that any new weapons system constitutes<br />
barfainint chips when dealing<br />
with the Soviets in arms talks.<br />
After Reagan proposed his Star<br />
Warv plan, the Snvicb announced<br />
that they were billing to come ;u the<br />
bargaining table jfter not nwtmg<br />

At a Sadie Hawkins daKe. glrU<br />

"pairing up," the Student Activities<br />
Board (SAB) lowered ticket<br />

couples, while the other half was<br />

"<strong>The</strong> idea o/ girls asking guys<br />
seemed progressive, but then girls at<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> always ask guys out, so it<br />
was DO major innovation," stated<br />
sophomore Katie Corrigan.<br />
Compared to the Halloween<br />
Dance, where the music was<br />
primarily funk and soul. Sonic<br />
Sounds provided a bit wider varies<br />
of music at the Sadie Hawkins<br />
dance. "It was jammin*." declared<br />
an anonymous senior.<br />
Dean Poulakidas (SAB Vice<br />
President), commented. "I think the<br />
Sadie Hawkins was a C 00 ^. successful<br />
dance. <strong>The</strong> SAB received<br />

many compUints about the music<br />
aftrr the last dance. But at the Sadie<br />
Hawkins affair there was a good<br />
mix. Besides, no matter what you<br />
do, someone will always<br />
complain."<br />
Some students objected to the<br />
"doubling" of slow songs and the<br />
repetition of others, including<br />
"Careless Whispers" by Wkun! and<br />
"Like a Virgin" by Madonna. As<br />
junior Jeremiah Turner put it, "For<br />
the same ic%ults. I couM have stayed<br />
at home, turnci off all the lights,<br />

Orva Hoskinson and<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lamplighters<br />
By Jason Mlntz<br />
<strong>The</strong>re Is a sign backstage al the Presentation<br />
<strong>The</strong>atre which reads: "One possible reason why<br />
things aren't going according to plan...is thtl there<br />
never was a plan."<br />
As director of Gilbert & Sullivan operetta* for the<br />
past 34 Jtars, Orvr. Hoskinson always has a plan.<br />
"<strong>The</strong>re's no way >ou can fool htm. because he knows<br />
exactly what ycu should be doing at a given moment,"<br />
remarked Judy Jackson, a singer who his<br />
worked under Hoskinson's direction Tor the last 14<br />
yean. "He knows the operettas inside and out."<br />
Concerning a direction he had just given to one of<br />
his cast members at a rehearsal. Hoskihson rulf><br />
jokingly retorted. "If you don't like it. get your own<br />
company!" He laughed. "That's funny," he recalled.<br />
"I remember when they used to say that to me!"<br />
Hoskinson founded <strong>The</strong> Lamplighter*, n group of<br />
San Francisco actors and lingers devoted to the quali<br />
Orra Hoiklrooc b a dlncior of <strong>The</strong> Lwnplljthtm.<br />
ty perfomuncc of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, in<br />
1951. <strong>The</strong> Lamplighters have performed at tltc<br />
Presentation <strong>The</strong>atre at Turk and Masonic for the last<br />
17 yean.<br />
Hoskinson continues to devote his time to the company,<br />
which is enjoying increasing popularity as<br />
word spreads about the accuracy and perfection of<br />
Lamplighter productions.<br />
In establishing <strong>The</strong> Lamplighters. Hoskiiuon wasluccessfully<br />
able to say, "I don V like it, and I *itt get<br />
my own theatre company." Hoskinson explains:<br />
"We wanted to do Gilbert & Sullivan because we<br />
thought there was more to the operettas than had been<br />
gotten out of them in the shows we'd been in."<br />
"We" refers to Hoskinson and his friend, actress<br />
and singer Ann Pool. Hoskinson met Pool when he<br />
began to teach voice after returning from the army.<br />
Ann and I felt that they could be done in an artistic,<br />
elegant, polished way. Wr thoroughly<br />
respected the Gilbert & Sullivan matetla). It's really .<br />
sophisticated, and so literate...so knowledgeable, so<br />
verbal, so articulate."<br />
Hoskinson first encountered Gilbert & Sullivan<br />
while arending Presidio Junior High School, in the<br />
form of Pirates of Penztmce. He proudly admits,<br />
"I've been a fan ever since."<br />
While serving in World War II. Hoskinson wu<br />
.again influence! by the writings of Gilbert &<br />
Sullivan. Hs attributes much of bis theatrical<br />
knowledge to the over 75 performances of <strong>The</strong><br />
Mikado which he played in, sometimes performing in<br />
the back of a truck. "Even today,** says Hoskinson.<br />
"As I keep doing it, 1 keep learning."<br />
Kosldiuon has held leading roles while he lias been<br />
busy "learning,** in Die Fledermaus, <strong>The</strong> Gondoticn,<br />
htanthe. <strong>The</strong> Mikado. H.M.S, Pinafore, <strong>The</strong><br />
Pirales of Penzance, Ruddigore. Princta Ida. Trial<br />
by Jury, Yeoman of the Guard, and <strong>The</strong> Sorcerer, and<br />
has directed productions of each of these operettas.<br />
He insists thai experience has been his most valuable<br />
training. "Whatever I know today about acting ami<br />
, oirccting. 1 learned with <strong>The</strong> Lamplighters in the best<br />
possible way — in front ol live audiences in many.<br />
many performances over many years."<br />
Ttv* Lampl'ghtcr* opened their first leaser in San<br />
Francisco with H.M.S. Pinafore in 1952 A music<br />
critic from the San Franciico Chronicle saw this production.<br />
"We were lucky," Ho\kinson recalls, "thty<br />
gave us a good review." <strong>The</strong> icvtew noted that the<br />
production "tcltcs heavily on Orva Hosltinson'< extremely<br />
able stage direction...the main appeal of the<br />
performance docs not !ir in the work of any individual<br />
but in its >p»riteO, nicely organize*! rnscmblc.Mr.<br />
H^kinson has really achieved something."<br />
Tlic Lamplighters* 1963 production of Patience,<br />
featuring Hoskmion as Reginald Bunthomc. drew<br />

Although he lakes fau craft very seriously. Hmkinson<br />
realize.* that the thcatrr is a place to have fun. As<br />
the current cast is rehearsing one portion of <strong>The</strong><br />
Siircrrer where everyone on stage is supposed Co be<br />
"froun." one can hear pennies and mckcK being<br />
hurled from the hands of one "frozen" performer to<br />
their target: another "fro/en" performer. Other<br />
"frown" performer arc muttering jokes under their<br />
hrcalh in an allenipl m get their "fnt/cn" fellow ca«<br />
members to Uugh and break character. <strong>The</strong>y uMially<br />
succeed, for Hoskinson helps them along by gelling<br />
in on the game\ himself.<br />
"Imagine yourself gazing at a vision of<br />
lo\elincss." he infracts hi* .rule cost members as<br />
they awaken under ihe power of a love potion and<br />
discover (heir true love at last. He adds, "Even if \he<br />

By Curia Newmcycr<br />
"For me. acting is mainly an experience by myself.<br />

the audience but also watching myself."<br />
As n member of the American Conservatory<br />
<strong>The</strong>ater (ACT). Ray Reinhanlt his shared many roles<br />

audiences for the past 20 years.<br />
Rcinhanlt's introduction to actinv cjmc when he<br />
read the pan of Macbeth in a h^.i school Engl&i<br />
<strong>class</strong>. He remembers being flattered by his Englnh<br />
teacher's suggestion that he become an actor. btU<br />
"didn't lake it (the suggestion) to hcirt" for some<br />
time.<br />
After graduating from nigh school, he joined the<br />
Army's Drama Society, where he did his first play.<br />
Once out of the Array, he decided upon acting as<br />
something he might like to do and studied at the<br />
Dmmatic Workshop in New York City. *<br />
For technical and language training he went to<br />
England. !o the London Academy of ?-1ustc and<br />
Dramatic Arts for & year.<br />
His professional careei started with a job off-<br />
Broadway in 1957. "By the lime ACT had seen nie, I<br />
had been in uther regional theaters and had quite a bit<br />
of experience. I Utink they saw (in me) Ul actor<br />
capable of versatility, able to play many kinds of<br />
parts in many styles, who might be useful in a repertory<br />
company," he sdd.<br />
"Basically a repertory company has versatile actors<br />
so they don't have to hire a fresh actor for each<br />
pax" Rcinhardt laughed. "I saved Dam money!"<br />
"Being in a repertory stretches tlic actor. He pliys<br />
all kinds of pans — farce. Uagcdy. young, old — the<br />
whole gamut of character," he noted.<br />
Reinhardt most enjoys "... the very bravura pans<br />
— like Cyran. de Bcrgcrac": plays in which there arc<br />
only two actots: and ".. .plays that use language and<br />
ideas — like those of Shakespeare, like those of<br />

Beware of BETTER IDEAS fa; Dwell High School.<br />
In 1924 there was a need for ajotnet high school to serve the Richmond<br />
District w) re norres were rcpUcinj the sand dunes north of<br />
Golden Gate Park. If the Superintendent's "better idea" for <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
h»d been successful, many sodents reading diese words would not<br />
be <strong>Lowell</strong>ites today. His plan was to wove <strong>Lowell</strong> from iu Hayes &<br />
Masonic location to the Richmond and change it to a comprehensive<br />
Knool. <strong>The</strong> battle wu joined by alumni and students to save their<br />

<strong>The</strong> auditorir.n was crowded to capacity, people standing three and<br />
four deep about its sides and into the hallways and the courtyard<br />
beyond, ignoring the biting cold in order to keep the <strong>Lowell</strong> banners<br />
flying. Attorney Milton Maria, 1910, read a manuscript to some<br />

SCHOOL BOARD QUITS PLAN FOR RICHMOND SITE<br />
...<strong>Lowell</strong> rocs a sincere vote of gratitude to the Board<br />
of Education for their efforts, and careful consideration<br />
of ocr question....<br />
Thirty-seven years later another Superintendent had a "bener<br />
idea" about <strong>Lowell</strong> High School. <strong>The</strong> occasion was <strong>Lowell</strong>'s fourth<br />
move in iu history, this time to iu Eucalyptus Drive she.<br />
In 1954 the Board of Education agreed to give the none. <strong>Lowell</strong>.<br />
to the city's new high school located in the southwestern part of the<br />
chy. It was durinj the negotiations for the move that the Suprrintcnden;<br />
revealed bis "better idea" for our school. <strong>The</strong> new <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
would be a comprehensive high school serving a district to be carved<br />
from the Abraham Lincoln and Balboa attendance ami. Immediately,<br />
a new generation of Lowcllitc* rote to meet the aruck on their<br />
•choo) that had just celebrated one hundred years of service lo the<br />
young people of San Francisco.<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> had a new home, but the kind of school that occupied the<br />
building would be resolved only after a bitter struggle that wu<br />
reported in Time magazine. In the fall of 1961 the student bejy and<br />
staff prepared to move to the new site on Eucalyptus Drive. But the<br />
Board kept postponing iu decision about the kirid of school <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
would be. At the November. 1961 Board meeting, the Superintendent<br />
presented a compromise plan:<br />
Approximately half to three-fifths of the student body<br />
would be districted from an atlccdobcc area between<br />
Balboa and Uncoln High Schools. Approximately 40%<br />
of the students would come from the entire city.<br />
Opposition was unexpected because the Lowe!! leadership had<br />
been persuaded to accept the "64MO F?an" as the best compromise<br />
they could get. Yet, not only did the plan cause discussion, it sparked<br />
a debate that became so volatile that (he Board postponed iu final<br />
decision until the December meeting. Ironically, the major reason<br />
- for tbe postponement was the intransigence of the anti-academic<br />
forces in their all-or-nothing demand for a districted, comprehensive<br />
• ' Awell High School. <strong>The</strong>ir unwillingness to compromise proved to<br />
be a fatal tactical error. <strong>The</strong> battle lines were drawn for the<br />
Eleventh-hour entrants into the fight proved to be the decisive factor<br />
In the final Board decision. In November, aa All-City Academl-:<br />
Higfc jChco) commitee wu formed and pro-acedemic defenders by<br />
the thousands rallied to it in a month of frenzied preparations for the<br />
December 3th showdown at Nourse Auditorium.<br />
<strong>The</strong> San Francisco Connie's carried the story of that momentous<br />
meeting:<br />
- - - / . • • ;<br />
At an cmotiotKl meeting dominated by <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
adherents, the isoard of Education voted overwhelmingly<br />
6 to J. late last night to preserve the lOS-year<br />
tradition o! <strong>Lowell</strong> High School as an academic, all-city<br />

Likewise, on February 13, the<br />
grandmother of sU-ycar-old Justin<br />
Mtirphy returned him to his mother<br />
after the grandmother had seen a picture<br />
of Justin on an Atu*Dcna milk<br />
carton.<br />
To have a miuing child's photo<br />
considered for the milk cartons, a<br />
parent must "register" the musing<br />
child with the National Center for<br />
Missing and Exploited Children, a<br />
non-profit clearinghouse bascU in<br />
Washington, D.C.. which trio to<br />

dnncten. the borror and epidemic<br />
efteewfe suicide today is very real.<br />
Abho^ teenage suicide occurs in<br />
All pans of the wcrld. it b the most<br />
widespread in the United States. -<br />
Suicide U lite wennd leading cauic<br />
of death (accidents aie first)<br />
amocg young adults aged 15 to 24.<br />
<strong>The</strong> teen suicide rate has tripled<br />
since 1970. Today, a b estimated that<br />
500.000 teem attempt suicide each<br />
year, with 5,000 of them actually succeeding.<br />
Tragically, these knocking<br />
•umbers may actually even be higher<br />
became many suicide cases go totally<br />
unreponed. Fuiihcroorc, the<br />
number of trcn suicides arc predicted<br />
to rise even higher in the years to<br />
COfDC.<br />
<strong>The</strong> obvious question is; why are<br />
so many teens taking their own live*?<br />
Expcru believe that almost<br />
anything could trigger a widdal urge<br />
• in a teen. Because the "teca" years<br />
are the very difficult years of transition<br />
from child to adult, teens must<br />
accept new responsibilities and oew<br />
challenges. It is during ibe teen years<br />
that a person becoraes truly<br />
vulnerable, aod with same teens finding<br />
the stress tad pretuirei of<br />
"growing up" loo much in handle,<br />
they ultimately chootc to end the<br />
pressure* by taking iheir lives. Today's<br />
society it placing mote and<br />
more pressure on its adolescents to<br />
compete, to achieve, to succeed, to<br />
be better than the next person...the<br />
list goes on.<br />
Denny Hotiey, a 13-year-old, hung<br />
hinuclf last summer after repeatedly<br />
telling his mutter, "If there were<br />
one less mouth to feed, maybe 'kings<br />
would be better."<br />
Danny's father was a military man<br />
on suipvncnt ovenev, wnuc hu<br />
funUy stayed in Cslifoinia. T1)ey<br />
were Mrug|ting to make eads meet,<br />
ml Dareiy. being me ekfca child. feU<br />
However, the blame canr from per*<br />
son to person.<br />
Betty, a high tdool ttulent in Redwood<br />
City, believes people think of<br />
suicide as "a way out."<br />
"When you're derpcrate. there<br />
doesn't icem to be any other soruuon.<br />
Sometime* I'll hear it on the news<br />
that tome kid has killed himself, and<br />
I say to myself. *what if I did it?'<br />
Sometimes you really start to wonder<br />
why you exist when life is so<br />
miserable. 1 mink people who kill<br />
ihcnuclvcs btlicvc that suicide ends<br />
the pain ol living." *<br />
Like Deny, many teens do contemplate<br />
Tilcide after a friend or<br />
anotiicr teen in their community has<br />
killed himself. This diitutbing<br />
dominn eftect of suicide does occur.<br />
Several years ago, after a boy had<br />
Uwc and killed himself, su ether<br />
Today's society is placing more<br />
and more pressure on its adolescents<br />
to compete, to achieve, to succeed,<br />
to be better than the next person ...<br />
responsible for his family's welfare<br />
Besides the tremendous pressures<br />
of "being responsible." many c*Ser<br />
factors do account for the high teen<br />
suicide rate:<br />
Some bUme the working parent*<br />
(especially the mother), for not having<br />
time to spend with their children<br />
anymore. <strong>The</strong> family unit, the image<br />
of the traditional "family* , Is not<br />

When a teen expresses suicidal<br />
thoughts, such as, "I wish I were<br />

these actions should be ignored.<br />

A» we begm the new semester we must welcome home some (avorite<br />
friends. I begin the welcomes by saying "Hello!" to none other than<br />
one of our blond, blue-eyed Swedish Svrfcr brothers, Erik Noyes..<br />
Yes, Freshmen, now you can finally experience Erik for real, not<br />
through your monthly Thr lavtU. not Severutm .<br />
Two other quick welcomes: Tina llorton has relume! from a<br />
semester in Germany (apparently she left Maureen Con irvrc).<br />
I must give an especially big "Hello!" lo everyone's favorite<br />

Freshmen Beware! By the way, docs anyone actually know Mr.<br />

Rumor hal h that the Too Tough To Handle CTBS Test will be<br />
revised for next year. No, our lest U not going to ihe Kindergarteners<br />
across the puking !oi, the test is being trashed. It seems a few loo<br />
many students received the urpossible to reach 99 percent.<br />
How terrible! No more Mr. Camacho. Mary Mead in Pago Pago,<br />
or the reproductive cycles of the shrew? No more seeing "gravitate<br />
:: earth," "3x4," or "herd"? Oh, please no. How cruel! Please,<br />
Amiable A], do something, anything, to save our beloved CTBS!<br />
Here, we'll offer you a compromise: you save the lest, and we'll keep<br />
the halls clean. If this fails, maybe the LEC can sun a "Save the<br />
CTBS Test!" campaign. At least somebody should do something: how<br />
can we let Mr. Caaucbo dnwn7<br />
Or. a sour note, the BSCS (Board for Scotch and Coors Service)<br />
has ruled tint no club or organization may sell homemade ftuods. <strong>The</strong><br />
decision was made after Mrs. Hayes' A.P. World History Class<br />
sold baked goodies (and they were very good goodie*). Pray tell, you<br />
wise and serious BSCS leaders, why can clubs not sell homemade<br />
baked goods? What do the advanced placement students do, sell their<br />
talarfes In 25 years lime on the New York Futures Market? Do you<br />
really think people such as Gordon Tans, Avrll Swan, Julie<br />
YamsJcawa, and John Sloan (granted his cookies were mysterious),<br />
arc going lo poison the student body? All these promising students<br />
(they are promising 5's on Ihe A.P. test) want to do is go on field trips.<br />
Although It may not seem possible, our wonderful (this is their appreciation<br />
for the month) teachers know material which is not related<br />
to their subjects. <strong>The</strong>refore, a con'est has been devised lo reward<br />
students for their knowledge and enable teachers to share incir extra<br />
facts.<br />

Teachers, students ...<br />
Who dresses worse?<br />
By Martlne TrtUun j<br />

WL4 do <strong>Lowell</strong> students think of<br />
the way their teachers dress?<br />
Most commented that teachers<br />
dress "fine," but specific rcnuiks<br />
were leu than complimentary.<br />
• "Lowclltcachcudrcttvfry.vcry<br />
polymer," taid junior Robert<br />
Motels), "...but while 1 can stand<br />
polycucr, the combination of plaid<br />
and polyester b unbearable."<br />
Many <strong>Lowell</strong> students included<br />
"polyester" tod "plakl" in. their<br />
comments about <strong>Lowell</strong> faculty<br />
fashion. This gives cause for one to<br />
wonder, what did teachers »*ear<br />
before the Invention of polyester?<br />
Even freshmen have noticed the<br />
funkm trends of their teachers. Two<br />
S>f£li°S freshmen, who wish to remain<br />
anonymous on the grounds that<br />
it may incriminate them, noted that<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> leacnen dress • "tacky and oldfaihioned."<br />
Many other students<br />
mentioned that faculty fashion tends<br />
to be "dated."<br />
Some students compUineo that<br />
their teachers* clothing affects their<br />
attention span. "<strong>The</strong> color combina*<br />
tions, like red and purple, ruins my<br />
concentration because it blinds me."<br />
c'aimed Moloui, "but at kast<br />
teachers don't wear neon."<br />
"I think most twhsr* dreu all<br />
right," said senior Nick Fiorcntinos,<br />
"except for tome of the ties, not to<br />
mentioa tames (is the Math Dcpartmeni)."<br />
Several allusions were made to<br />
loud ties by various math stivJents.<br />
Senior Pat Uikcrt commented.<br />
"Urge earrings, jiant pcatL, and<br />
clusters of blue stones irriute me (in<br />
<strong>class</strong>)."<br />
"I try to avoid ihtnkin,; akxit the<br />
way teacher* dreu. Bel bottoms<br />
tcare me." said sophomore Michael<br />
Pearson.<br />
Mury students agreed that male<br />
teachers, on the whole, dreu wone<br />
than female teachers do. As one<br />
anonymous junior put it. "If you ice<br />
a male teacher walking dow-n the<br />
street, vou know by the way hw tie,<br />
pants, and sports jacket* clash that<br />
man is a teacher. Female teachers do<br />
a better job of fining into society."<br />
While tome students criticized their<br />
teachers' mode of dress, others accepted<br />
it "1 love the way teachers<br />
dress." said one "A" student.<br />
"I think they dreu tike teachers<br />
ihould dress, as comfy as possible,"<br />
concluded junior Amy Cheung.<br />
A poll of <strong>Lowell</strong> students asked<br />
which department had the worst<br />
dressed faculty members. Con*<br />
jratulatiom go to the math department<br />
teachers, who received 54 percent<br />
of the votes. Condolences go to<br />
the Foreign Lvtfuace and Social<br />
Science Departments.<br />

What do these first four su&ttcs<br />
have lo do with the fifth statistic?<br />
According to Comprehensive Care<br />
Corporation, a private company that<br />
specializes in pravUiog alcohol anti<br />
drug abuse program*. "Exposure u><br />
alcobol advertising has been fount<br />
to influence young people.**<br />
With this In mind, acveral national<br />
groups are incrcatlrg<br />
pressure for a ban on alcohol advertising<br />
on television and radio.<br />
Claiming thai the broadcast advittiscments<br />
influence mo>e pcopie.<br />
especially minors, to drink alcobol,<br />
the lobbying groups are stating taat<br />
the health and safjty of the Ancri;an<br />
society should be placed before my<br />
industry** right to commercial<br />
advertisement*<br />
In response lo these prcsuirc<br />
groups, the alcoholic beverage<br />
sumption Icaris to greater intoxication<br />
ud greater health problems.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re has oot been conclusive<br />
evidence to prove or disprove the<br />
point, however. As Dr. Michelle A.<br />
Wolf of the Department of Broadcast<br />
Communicatiofts Arts at San<br />
Francisco State *Inivenrt> (SFSU)<br />
stated. "Tecnigen definitely learn<br />
from what they see and hear. But<br />
what they do in terms of behavior is<br />
almos< impossible to determine.<br />
You can't talk about that unless the<br />
environment and the family life of<br />
the person is taken into account.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se cause-effect notions (hat people<br />
have are too simptutic. TV<br />
doesn't have as much powef as pov<br />
pie believ; it docs."<br />
According lo Wolf, product! can<br />
be K>ld on two different levels. <strong>The</strong><br />
first level U a functional level, with<br />
"<strong>The</strong> glamorous and glorified images<br />
of alcohol use are misleading<br />
impressionable young people into<br />
believing that alcohol is associated<br />
with success in ssx, sports,<br />
business, ami friendships."<br />
manufacturing todusny nod the<br />
broadcast industry arc joining forces<br />
to oppose the ban. For these groups,<br />
it b more than a question of health<br />
or free speech.<br />
For the brewing industry, a ban in<br />
commercial advertisements could<br />
mean a drop in the numrcr and the<br />
.•ate of purchasing of the* t products.<br />
In oiher words, if the proposal succeeds,<br />
the beer and wine companies<br />
could lose millions of dollars in<br />
fcvsrues.<br />
For the television and radio indestries,<br />
the proposal would effect a<br />
lota of more than S7J0 million in<br />
advertising. Alcoholic beverage<br />
f»m,... ,-j.u ,„ the single largest<br />
product advertisers on television.<br />
giving networks etjbt percent of the<br />
commercial viewing time. <strong>The</strong>y also<br />
account for 3.5 percent of total<br />
television advertising rev&ues and<br />
li percent o? radk> reverses.<br />
IN ra^or qocaion at band is<br />
whether or not advertising on teJcvisioa<br />
ml radio affccti the audiences<br />
and encourage* them lo drink<br />
alcohot. If this allegation can be<br />
" proven, then the advertising would<br />
be ooonected to Incttmsed health and<br />
death risks, she* increased coo-<br />
a commercial proclair.-infj «hat the<br />
product docs for its u»c.\ An exame'e<br />
of this would be dishwashing liquid.<br />
<strong>The</strong> advertiser of Sparklcan<br />
dishwashing liquid would icll its audience<br />
that Sparkkan washes dishes<br />
faster, better, and more permanently<br />
than other brands do.<br />
<strong>The</strong> iccond level of advertising is<br />
that of abstract value. Th!> type of<br />
advertising acts on the basic needs<br />
and wants of all consumers. <strong>The</strong><br />
product U displayed as leading to a<br />
better and more successful life. Thz<br />
correlating example would be a<br />
commerctil that shows a beautiful,<br />
young housewife thai uses<br />
Sparklcan to clean a week's worth<br />
of dishes in fivemimnesaad because<br />
of the wonderful product has a lov*<br />
ing husband, charming children.<br />
and always wins «the bridxe club.<br />
Abstract value advertising does not<br />
work on an explicit level: it relies<br />
more on implying certain things<br />
rather than stating them outright.<br />
A major auction of the proponents<br />
of the ban is that CK<br />
alcoholic beverage commercials are<br />
not advertised on the functional<br />
level, but nther only on the abstract<br />
value level. Most televisioo com-<br />

George Hacker. Ihc national coordinator<br />
of Project SMART - Slop<br />
Marketing Alcohol on Xadio and<br />
Telcvtjon — a major advocate of<br />
the propmed ban, taid. "<strong>The</strong><br />
glamorous and glorified images of<br />
alcohol oie are mit'eading impressionable<br />
younjt pcriplt into bcliev Dg<br />
th« alcohol n assovivtcd wUh sue<br />

As Wolf pointed out. if advertisers<br />
for Leer and wine advertised<br />
on the functional level and showed<br />
what bappcaal after people used<br />
their product*, alcohol would not<br />
look as appealing. A drank driver<br />
advertising a beer would tut be as<br />
succevsful as an attractive >uppic<br />
would. Wolf commented, "If you<br />
showed the effects, you'd look like a<br />
fool."<br />
Certain groups pushing for the<br />
pasting of a ban arc especially concerned<br />
about commercials in which<br />
celebrities appear who may have a<br />
large Influence on young audiences.<br />
Arnold Fecc of the National Parent •<br />
Teacher Auociation expressed the<br />
contention that the advertisemenu<br />
are "directed at young people who<br />
cannot drink."<br />
"Young people are particularly<br />
affected by alcohol endorsements by<br />
athletes or entertainers." according<br />
to the Comprehensive Care<br />
Corporal km.<br />
If this b the ca*r, the commercials<br />
would be encouraging tccnigers nuc<br />
only tu drink, bu: to break the law<br />
by drink. n| alcoholic beverage*.<br />
With the new law Uiat iv iniendc-1 to<br />
•.umJanluc the drinking age nationally<br />
at 21. ihii would aifeci a<br />
greater proportion of the nation's<br />
youth.<br />
Again the comention cannot be<br />
proven so we arc left with an ongoing<br />
debate. Advertisers contend that<br />
iheir commercials are only meant to<br />
"introduce new products" and<br />
"gain* larger share of the market."<br />
T*y point out that there has been<br />
no causal connection prmen between<br />
broadcast advertisements and<br />
increased consumption of alcohol.<br />
<strong>The</strong> broadcauers and alcoholic<br />
beverage producers adamantly<br />
rtfiuc to allmv the industry to be put<br />
under any limit ur ban. Doci.'tl B.<br />
Shea, president of the United State*<br />
Brewers Association stated, "To<br />
hav- a legitimate product removed<br />
from a legitimate medium is inappropriate.<br />
It is the same as saying<br />
because 50,000 people are killed in<br />
auto accidents each year you should<br />
ban automobiles advertising."<br />
Professor John Tcnj-e of the<br />
«33 Uascn su u Anton<br />
&U1FHK1KO.CAM112<br />
Department jf Management and<br />
Marketii.; K. SFSl 1 corntnented that<br />
tne cootentiom of the proponents of<br />
the ban are " ridicule a." He ex*<br />
plained. "It depends on us.* or<br />
mUuse. <strong>The</strong>y say people are going<br />
out and getting intoxicated. Sensible<br />
teenagers don't do those kinds of<br />
tilings! People are looking for easy<br />
answers and they don't »tu."<br />
industries havn refused to pay for<br />
such a propose]. "If you say that<br />
counter-ads are necessary, you<br />
assume that the problem is related to<br />
advertising." said Donald Weber or<br />
the CBS Broadcasting Group. "We<br />
don'r think that is the case."<br />
Presently, the broadcasters do<br />
follow certain voluntary restriction<br />
imposed upon themselves. Hard liquor<br />
is nut advertised oo tdevmcu<br />
and radio, only beer and wine are.<br />
Also, alcohclk beverage commercials<br />
do not show people actually<br />
drinking the beverage. <strong>The</strong>y show a<br />
full glass being raised and a half,<br />
empty glass being lowered, but<br />
never the act of drinking.<br />
<strong>The</strong> United States is not the only<br />
area in which this subject is under<br />
comroversy. Canada has Instituted<br />
limited bans in certain areas. In Ontario,<br />
commercial* dwt emphasize<br />
aicohol with a kurcenful<br />
"lifestyle" have been banned, and<br />
for 14 montru all advertising of<br />
alcoholic beverages in British Columbia<br />
was banned. In a third attempt.<br />
broidcMi commercials were<br />
banned in Manitoba. In none of<br />
"It is the same as saying because<br />
Tengc believes that the commercials<br />
don't influence people to<br />
drink. "I think mow people drink<br />
became ot their involvement with<br />
their peer group*," he Hated.<br />
Instead of a ban of all alcoholic<br />
bevenge commercials, some people<br />
arc proposing "counter*<br />
advertisements" showing the effects<br />
of alcohol consumption. <strong>The</strong> institution<br />
of such a program would be<br />

inrruM Stnutfl who has momentarily<br />

Thb opens the plot of Witness, a<br />
romance/thriller which revolves<br />
around the effort of a Philadelphia<br />
cop. John Book (played by Harrison<br />
Ford), to solve and serve justice to<br />
the murder*<br />
In the 20 minutes following the<br />
homicide, the murderers and their<br />

No time to fool around with<br />

him. Book must alto protect Samuel,<br />
who b also being pursued.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first third of the movie, which<br />
basically sets up the plot, is tensionfilled<br />
and exciting. But (he pace slows<br />
down considerably when Book<br />
becomes a part of the Ambh<br />
community.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Amiih are people who basically<br />
believe in plain ways of living and<br />
worshipping. <strong>The</strong>ir religion b one<br />
»hich rejects violence.<br />
Book's peculiar position as a hardnosed<br />
city cop living among the gen-<br />
Ue Amuh. presents J droll and amusing<br />
circumstance.<br />
In ooe scene, a tourist woman asks<br />
Book, who b dressed like an Ambh.<br />
if she can take hb picture. Book<br />
replies. "If you tike my picture. I'll<br />
rip off your bmikre and strangle<br />
you with it." Not quite your perfect<br />
Ambh.<br />
In fact, bits and pieces of wch<br />
humor throughout the film prove to<br />
be funny and effective.<br />
Nevertheless, humor alone cannot<br />
keep the rruV-seclion. which focuses<br />
on the growing romance between<br />
Book acd Rachel and the Ambh way<br />

Ford once again portrays the brusq-je,<br />
yet lovable, not-quite-pcrfect<br />
hero, the like* of Indiana Jones and<br />
Han Solo. Yet hb role in Witness as<br />
a truc-lo-tife character experiencing<br />
the anger of injustice and bitter-sweet<br />
love, enables htm to give a performance<br />
beyond L.ove of the overly<br />
fictional characters he has played in<br />
hb previous films.<br />
<strong>The</strong> one pcrphxing thing about rfeb<br />
movie involves the romance between<br />
Book aid Rachel. In the film. Rachel<br />
seems to show no mUtcncc in<br />
displaying her feelings for Book. <strong>The</strong><br />
screen constantly fUfher. Rachel's<br />
longing glances and subtly seductive<br />
smiles, and her very strict religious<br />
beliefs never teem to tug at her<br />
comcience.<br />
Aside from this minor flaw,<br />
howrver. Witness is two hour*, of true<br />
enteruinment. Although the major<br />
plot of the film b a common one. the<br />
unique twin involving the Amuh,<br />
and the gripping suspense, especial*<br />
ly in the climax, add a dash and an<br />
interesting dimension to the film.<br />

THE<br />
UNTOUCHABLES<br />
'Rude Boys' turned professional<br />
By David Hunt<br />
<strong>The</strong> name "Untouchables" i\<br />
derived from the awe that member*<br />
of the bind felt w hen they were fans<br />
watching their favorite groups perform.<br />
<strong>The</strong> musicians on stage were<br />
worshipped like gojs and weren't<br />
united in any way with the audience.<br />
Now that the rulci are reversed, the<br />
seven-piece Lns Angeles \ka hand iv<br />
attempting to change things.<br />
"We believe fan feedback is the<br />
ben thing for the hand," exclaimed<br />
guitarist Clyde 'City Gent* Grime*.<br />
"We'd ralhcr play to one comctout<br />
person than to a whole roomful of<br />
proplc who aren't getting into the<br />
experience of the Untouchables."<br />
Each member of the band tuv<br />
adopted a fitting nickname from his<br />
pai»cipation in the club scenes prior<br />
to the group** fumuiion in 1981.<br />
<strong>The</strong> names include Ska-Fa, <strong>The</strong><br />
Professor, City Gent, Acetone, EQ,<br />
and <strong>The</strong> Mighty Lamp.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> Untouchable* uartcd out *»<br />
a bunch of mods and rude boys getting<br />
together on the weekends playing<br />
music in someone's garage.<br />
Rude boys, originating in Kingston,<br />
Jamaica, were associated with<br />
fashion music and wore tailored<br />
bbek suits and tuts. Tbe look made<br />
it easier for people to identify with<br />
their music," explained Grimes.<br />
According to Grimes. "We've<br />
grown out of being truly political.<br />
We don't want to be a band like <strong>The</strong><br />
Clash that preaches, and forces you<br />
to litfT. Li the music.-Now we're<br />
political, but in a subliminal way.<br />
We wint the audience to dance first<br />
and then think about the lyrical<br />
menage."<br />
<strong>The</strong> "Laser Show Song" itluitrates<br />
the extent of the band's<br />
controversial new material.<br />
"I got the idea for the song from a<br />
T.V. ibow about a space war with<br />
Star Wars-type weapons." related<br />
Grimes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Untouchables give a high<br />
energy performance, but unlike<br />
other up-and-coming bands they do<br />
not incite violence.<br />
"We used to end our early concerts<br />
with a song called 'What You<br />
Gonru Do About It' by the Small<br />
FJCCS. Everyone in the audience<br />
would get up on stage and destroy'<br />
the P.A. system, mikes, and<br />
whatever else they could find. Now<br />
we've toned duwn the show and we<br />
don't play any songs that instigate<br />
violence or destruction of any<br />
kind." commented Grimes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Untouchables did, however,<br />
nuke a cameo appearance in the<br />
movie Rrpo Man, where they<br />
played a gang of scooter thup who<br />
beat up the lead character Emilio<br />
EMCVCZ when he tries to repossess<br />
their car.<br />
"We've known Emilio Estcvei<br />
and hb dad Martin Sheen for a long<br />
time. We pb)cd some of our first<br />
shows at Emilia's house," said<br />
Grimes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Untouchables are planning a<br />

back performing in San Francisco to<br />

If you're a 6 foot 11 inch senioi in high school who can<br />
dribble a basketball, you don't have to worry about finding<br />
the right college. Colleges are sore to find you instead.<br />
Just ask Chris Washburn.<br />
From thi time Washbum was in the ninth grade, he has<br />
been the object of many a college basketball coach's<br />
dreams. He received personal lctteis from Louisville Cardinal<br />
coach Denny Crum and North Carolina Tar Heels<br />
coach Dean Smith that showered him with compliments<br />
concerning his play. His ego soared. He was just a<br />
freshman in high school who happened to be 6 feet 9 inches<br />
tall.<br />
By the time Washburn was a senior, he had received<br />
over 1,000 pieces of mail from varioia colleges and<br />
universities irxluding Brown, Cornell, Duke, Maryland,<br />
Clemson, and North Carolina State. He was one of the<br />
most sought after college prospects in the nation.<br />
Washbum, a resident of North Carolina, chose to ati-nd<br />
Notth Carolina State, the 1983 NCAA champions.<br />
'. olfpack conch Jim Valvano and his coaching staff actively<br />
pursued Washbum throughout his high school<br />
years with hundreds of letters, postcards, and handwritten<br />
notes. Everything was going wonderfully for<br />
Chris until he actually stepped on csmpus.<br />
On the basketball court he was doing great. Off the<br />
court was another matter. On September 19, 1984,<br />
Washbum was fined a mere S25 and received a 30-day<br />
suspended sentence for slapping a female MUIICIU.<br />
On December 21 he was arrested and charged with second<br />
degree burglary. He later pleaded guilty to a lesser<br />
charge. His crime: he had stolen $800 worth of stereo<br />
equipment from the dorm of a Wolfpack football player.<br />
Washbum, who was dropped from thr team upon his arrest,<br />
received a six-year suspended sentence. His punishment<br />
was to do community work. Wow!<br />
During his trial, it was revealed that he scored a total of<br />
470 on the Schob'tic Aptitude Test (SAT). With total<br />
scores of 270 in main and 200, the lowest possible score,<br />
in the verbal section, one has to wonder whether or not<br />
the colleges who desperately tried to recruit him ever<br />
bothered to check out his academic record. Brown, Cor<br />
ncll, ana other universities, urc you listening?<br />
' For the record, Washbum passed all of his fall<br />
semester <strong>class</strong>es. His courses included the history of<br />
American sport and public speaking.<br />
Perhaps I am being naive when I think of sports in<br />
terms of camaraderie and competition. After all, who<br />
doesn't want to be • part of a winning team? However,<br />
there is a very ugly aspect of sports that often remains<br />
hidden. Beyond the smiling cheerleaders and adorng fans<br />
are the agents and recruiters who often exploit athletes.<br />
Who cares if an athlete can't read? As long as he can slam<br />
dunk or breal :..~iugh tackles...<br />
Washbw • * back with the Wolfpack next seasor<br />
if all goes •' --oolong towards the future, he one-:<br />
remarked, '. en my kids see all the letters that I<br />
icceived from aii these schools, I think they're going to<br />
be proud of me." For your sake, Chris, I hope they will<br />
be too.<br />

- day, April 25. 1985.<br />
'<strong>The</strong>re is a double reason to hold<br />
the KermcsK," CoJlb continued.<br />
"Originally, the main reason for<br />
having the celebration was to raise<br />
, funds for the Foreign Language<br />
Lab. <strong>The</strong> money raised U very important<br />
to maintain the equipment.<br />
But. as the Kcrmcsac became<br />
popular, the improvement of school<br />
spirit became just as important a<br />
reason for having it."<br />
Last year there was no Kcrmesse<br />
at Luwcl*. A conflict arose between<br />
the teachers of the Foreign<br />
Language Dcpanrocnt and the administration<br />
over the hours of extracurricular<br />
school service.<br />
All <strong>Lowell</strong> teachers wtre assigned<br />
sporting evcou to attend. Most<br />
foreign language teachers objected<br />
to UJC supervision duty, stating that<br />
the hours of planning and supervising<br />
the Kermeuc fulfilled the administration<br />
requirement.<br />
Dr. Alan B. Fibish. principal.<br />
disagreed with the Foreign<br />
Language Department's reasoning.<br />
and therefore, the Foreign<br />
• Laocuarc Department cancelled the<br />
~~ 19M Kcrmcsac.<br />
"1 have never had any problems<br />
with the Kermessc, " slated Fibish.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> members of the Foreign<br />
Language Department made a deci-<br />
sion not to have it last >car. I am<br />
glad that the Kermcsie will be back,<br />
and 1 believe the decision to hold it<br />
ihit year b a good one."<br />
"Last year, my friends and 1 were<br />
prttty upset because ti was cancelled.<br />
We were really looking forward<br />
to it," expressed junior Allen Choi,<br />
in a staten.nU that echoed those of<br />
many other <strong>Lowell</strong> students.<br />
"I sense a very strong feeling that<br />
most students »inl to have the<br />
Kermcsvc — not only to observe —<br />
but to take part in it and show their<br />
crcitivuy." reasoned Georges<br />
Tchikovani, chief orpnUcr of the<br />
1985 event.<br />
"We arc currently working on<br />
making a better program than in past<br />
yean, with more variety,"<br />
Tchikovani stressed. "Hopefully,<br />
more kids will participate. 1 hope<br />
that teachers from other departments<br />
will all-nv student* to attend<br />
the KcrmcMc so everyone can get as<br />
much out of the day as possible."<br />
Foreign Language Lab Director<br />
Marc ZavaJa revealed. "In add it urn<br />
to the many different foods and<br />

It?<br />
h's not all too uncommon for students<br />
to fed prewired by the large amount of<br />
homework that trachea assign daily.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re never seem to be enough hours in<br />
. tha day to do all of ti. This dilemma may<br />
be the result of poor lime budgeting on<br />
the student'! pan or over-assigning on the<br />
teacher's pan.<br />

Both teachers'and students should<br />
realize that there is a discrepancy uclween<br />
teacher expectation} and student expectations.<br />
Many teachers have high cxpecuUons<br />
of themselves and iiigh expectations<br />
of their students. Teachers, confldeni<br />
in the academic capabilities of their<br />
students, may sometimes not even realize<br />
IhM they are placing a lot of pressure on<br />
them to accomplish more.<br />
On the other harJ. students probably<br />
"vcr give much consideration to the<br />
•"•«« of time and effort that teachers<br />
/n into planning a leuon. assigning<br />
homework, or making up a lest. Weighed<br />
down by their work load, they don't<br />
realize the work thai a teacher may go<br />
through.<br />
'"Many teachers<br />
have high expectations<br />
of themselves as<br />
well as their<br />
students."<br />
Do teachers have homework?<br />
Many teachers spend just as much lime<br />
correcting papers and preparing Icuun<br />
plus as students do doing: home wot I and<br />
studying for tests. If you thought that<br />

are legdly entitled lo. <strong>The</strong>y spend many<br />
hours every night preparing diverse and<br />
relevant lesson clans and correcting tests<br />
so that they can return them promptly.<br />
A.P. and honors teachers are motivated<br />
lo teach ai a more rigorous and challenging<br />
pace in preparation for the Advanced<br />
Placement lest.<br />
•'...sometimes<br />
teachers do assign too<br />
much homework.''<br />
—Other teachers are motivated by their<br />
enjoyment of their subject and their enjoyment<br />
of teaching, this is why some<br />
teachers use their free time to leach aIdi-<br />
•looal <strong>class</strong>es and to sponsor extracurricular<br />
activities.<br />
However, sometimes teachers do<br />
assign too much homework. Tills may be<br />
done oil', iic idea of helping students<br />
(tin more experience in flu ubject, but it<br />
doesn't always do so. Larfr asiijmmenu<br />
can hinder student progress and cause<br />
students to lower their goals because of<br />
feelings of inferiority.<br />
<strong>The</strong> intent behind heavy work loads<br />
may be a good one with no harm intended,<br />
but the manner of getting lo ttul ideal<br />
is not always beneficial to the student. In<br />

doesn't necessarily insure more learning.<br />
Despite difference* of opinions, a<br />

teachers who work just as hard for a slu -<br />

In defense of Dweebs<br />
We know who the dweebs arc. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
abound at <strong>Lowell</strong> High School.<br />
Dweebs are the little people who raise<br />
the curve in ourclas&cs; the ones who only<br />
think of "D" and *'F" as being the<br />
fourth and sixth letters of the alphabet;<br />
the solitary people Tor whom a "C" is<br />
unthinkable and the mention of "B" in<br />
relation to their name makes them faint.<br />
Dweebs always sit at the front of the<br />
room, usually taking notes as if their lives<br />
depended upon it. <strong>The</strong>y're never late for<br />
<strong>class</strong>, and they're home by four every<br />
kftcmoon in order lo read a few chapters<br />
ahead in Madame Bovary, or to finish<br />
their clxrmiMry lab in three colors, or trewrite<br />
the essay that they just received a<br />
95 on and for which they arc very upset<br />
with thenuclvcs.<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> breeds dweebs, but dweebs can<br />
be of different type*. <strong>The</strong>re are the<br />
straight "tech" dweebs, many limes just<br />
oiled nerds, who fight for the lop three<br />
places in Mr. BcttcncourTs <strong>class</strong>es ami<br />
have read Einstein's Universe five<br />
times. <strong>The</strong>y walk around wi'h their<br />
brothers' pants on and, yes. various attachments<br />
are an integral pan of every<br />
belt that they have.<br />
An offshoot of the "tech" dweebs is<br />
THE COMPUTER PEOPLE. Electrical<br />
engineering majors from birth, they hive<br />
memorized the ASCII code, which is to<br />
them the real alphabet. Thry know how<br />
many bytes there are in a bit (don't say<br />
cigh;) ?nd it is said that they keep their<br />
diaries, or rather journals, or. elephant<br />
disks.<br />
"Dweebs are the<br />
little people who raise<br />
the curve in our<br />
<strong>class</strong>es."<br />
However, dweebs arcn't only into the<br />
hard sciences. While the male species<br />
usually comprise the "techs." the<br />
females have a tendency towards English<br />
and history. Who else thinks of Mrs.<br />
Lewis as an easy teacher and ; Var rod<br />
Peace as weekend reading? <strong>The</strong>se<br />
dweebs gel A's from the teachers who<br />
never give A's. and they are the ones<br />
who, in spite of their "excellent command<br />
of the English Language." never<br />
say two words in the same breath.<br />
"While the male<br />
species usually comprise<br />
the 'techs,' the<br />
females have a<br />
tendency towards<br />
English and history."<br />
Yes. dweebs arc a part of <strong>Lowell</strong> that<br />
cannot be denied. In fact, nen-dweebs<br />
take full advantage of the existence ot<br />
dweebs. We blame them for our bad<br />
grades: "I would have had a 'B*. except<br />
you-know-who had lo get a 99 percent on<br />
the final."<br />
We =4ll ihem "teacher's pels" and<br />
tur.es which cannot be printed. We laugh<br />
at their lack of socially redeeming atlrioutes:<br />
"So hu said. 'Gee. 1 didn't know<br />
tliat iherc were dances at <strong>Lowell</strong>!* "<br />
We wonder how they can go through<br />
life thinking atom school work alt the<br />
time, their only CMracuiricular activities<br />
perhaps being the Atomic Physicists Club<br />
or Shield and Scroll. ("<strong>The</strong>y always get<br />
in on their first try because of their 4.0<br />
GPA's")<br />
"But wail a minute! What would<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> be. without dweebs? Hey. the rest<br />
of us could all get decent grades and cnj you know<br />
what? I was happy to do so well! I felt<br />
like I really knew wjai the teacher was<br />
talking about and. maybe if I managed to<br />
do well a couple more times. I could pull<br />
that "B" up to an "A." Yes, I could do<br />
it! I -.txikl be a dweeb!<br />
But I don't really consider myself a<br />
dweeb. I'm one of the normal people, 1<br />
think. In fact. I've come to two conclusions<br />
abodt dweebs.<br />
First, there is no such thing aj a pure,<br />
100 percent dweeb, not in real life at<br />
least. Tnc straight "A" Slavic history<br />
major decs ride her bicycle to schtx>l<br />
every day, and, yos. in ;wcatpanu'. Abo.<br />
the nerd in the physics cla*s has aerially<br />
said some piclty interesting monosyllabic<br />
words. To tell the truth, my old girl.<br />
fricnJ mentioned something iboa him<br />
having a nice smite. Dweebs arc peoule,<br />
loo.<br />
"Nobody can be a<br />
true <strong>Lowell</strong> student<br />
without having a little<br />
dweeb in them."<br />
Second, nobody can be a true Unveil<br />
student without having a little dweeb in<br />
them. It is good to tarn a few thing* noo<br />
and then. "After all. let's not forget tie<br />
primary purpose M cir institution."<br />
Dweebs aren't so bad. <strong>The</strong>y are a big<br />
pan. a Urge unavoidable pan, of <strong>Lowell</strong>.<br />
So think twice before you tell your<br />
friends abac that dweeb that makes you<br />
sickT by always doing the extra credit ma'-h<br />
problems. Remember thai your English<br />
teacher praised you for your insightful<br />
essay on the life cycle of a pizza bread.<br />
because it's possible that English<br />
dawntes may be calling you the dweeb.<br />
We know who the dweebs ire. Tbe><br />

A woman's right ^<br />
to choose -<br />
a moral dilemma?<br />
By Era FesU<br />
' lion came up. <strong>The</strong> <strong>class</strong> had just read a poem by Oliver Goldsmith,<br />
(1728-1774) who claimed (list the only alternative fora woman who "stoops<br />
to folly'* (or becomes pregnant) "...Is to die."<br />
<strong>The</strong> learner put ;he qoesticn to the female members ct the <strong>class</strong>. Would<br />
any ot them ever commit su*c=?" over an unwanted prcgnnicy) Ail replied.<br />
"No." One particularly , v ot>oken <strong>class</strong>mate almost glitly replied, "No,<br />
I would have an sbortir a."<br />
Thb discussion put *i t topic of unwanted pregnancy in more of a ti<br />
perspective in ray rood, and I realized that it was only 12 yean ago that<br />
abortion was tyfj=rJ in the United States.<br />
Twelve year* ^o my <strong>class</strong>mate might not have ipoken as easily about thb<br />
option. In fact, ,1'b*. event of an unwanted pregnancy, she probably would<br />
have had to sat rime all cducationa! and vocational plans (eight out of 10<br />
uwage raxher.i b California do not return to high school after the child's<br />
Wnh). pay an exwtiuat fee to have an abortion performed illegally, and risk<br />
tier own life with / "back alley abortion."<br />
"Naihanson 's statements are<br />
misleading and medically<br />
inaccurate."<br />
As a result of the Supreme Court's decision in the ewe of Roe vs. Wade<br />
in 1973, abortion b now legal and much safer. But despite the fact that<br />
Congress and a majority of the American public support a woman's right<br />
b choose, and 82 peircnioproKaeernpa to outlaw it, the "Pro-life" mote*<br />
ment has continued to try to ban abortion by proprxingacoiatinmonxlBmcnd-<br />
<strong>The</strong> newest tactic b the showing or • highly controversial film called Vie<br />
Stlatt Scrtam. produced by Dr. Bernard Natbanson. fonner director or Nattaoal<br />
Abortion Rights Action League (NARAU. who has om^awwbortion.<br />
Thb fallacious film depicts an abortion being performed while Nathanson<br />
narrates. He states that the fetus exprricjees pain and makes purposeful<br />
movements to avoid that pain. *'We see the child's mouth open in a siltnt<br />
aaeara." ne ststes with skiKftil rhetoric. *Thb b the suent scream of a child<br />
thrcKowd imminently with, acunctioo." be addi.<br />
According to a panel of medical experts who critiqued thb film. Nathanson's<br />
t^ifTnts are misleading and medically inaccurate. A 12-week fetus<br />
Us not fully developed the cerebral cortex or gray matter covering the brain,<br />
where pain Impulses are perceived and cannot feel pain at thb stage of<br />
Qcvdopcncitt.<br />
Furthermore, all movement at this stage b reflexive, furposcrul move*<br />
ment requires cognition, the ability to perceive and know, and thb too has<br />
not yet beea developed in the fetus. Any movement b much like the withlnwal<br />
response of an amoeba or one-celled organism.<br />
Nathanson also has claimed that the fetus b viable. "Everybody is \iablcincludbg<br />
every unborn child at any stafc of pregnancy. <strong>The</strong>y're all viabK"<br />
he claims.<br />
Considering that a fetus has only rudiments of the organ syuern. is incapable<br />
of conscious thought, cannot breathe independently, and U utterly<br />
unable to sustain life on its own, scientifically speaking, a feus b hardly vuble.<br />
President Ronald Reagan endorses thb propaganda-' Medical ictcncc docton<br />
confirm that when the lives of the unborn are tnulfed out. they often<br />
fed pain, pain that b long and agonizing... it has been said that if every<br />
member of Congress could see that film, they would move quickly to end<br />
the tragedy of abortion." be said recently. "1 pray they will."<br />
/ pray that Congress b at least better informed than the President. I also<br />
hope that meroben of Congress realize how rafair it b. in a pluralistic »ociery,<br />
for one group to force moral and religious beliefs on another.<br />
"Countries that have liberal attitudes<br />

A recent study by the Alan Guttmachcr Institute, however, revealed iut<br />
V - other industrial countries that hive liberal attitudes toward sex, caiilv accessible<br />

lowest rates of teen pregnancy.<br />
We must keep in mind that the only 100 percent effective form of binn<br />

so that every woman can make this personal decision affecting her own life,<br />
Thb is a decisina to be made by the individual, not government. It b a personal<br />

HAPPY<br />
Switch at top Soviet seat_<br />
has far-reaching effects<br />
By Irene Lee<br />
Mikhail Gorbachev was selected<br />
in March 1985 by the ruling Politburo<br />
as the new general secretary of<br />
the Soviet Union.<br />
At the time that Gorbachev<br />
ascended to the motf powerful positioo<br />
In &e Soviet Union, numbers<br />
of the Kremlin were arguing over<br />
detente. Hardliners like Chief of the<br />
Gencni Staff Nikolai Ogarkov<br />
bflicved that detente and arms<br />
ugotiatioru with other nations<br />
would always remain ineffectual.<br />
Consequently, he was demoted.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Soviet leaders clearly want to<br />
keep foreign rclrkro cpeq. With<br />
Gorbachev kcepins peace, they will<br />
not back down easily from area* of<br />
concern such as continuing Soviet<br />
occupancy in Afghanistan and<br />
demanding concsnioas from the<br />
United States at thr Gmcva talks.<br />
<strong>The</strong> past 25 years showed definite<br />
downhill trends in Soviet life. <strong>The</strong><br />
•ic*th rate b up. Iciant mortality b<br />
up, and male life expectancy has<br />
dropped dramatically. Soviet men<br />
are now expected to live to 62 yean,<br />
down two yean from two decades<br />
ago.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Soviet economy is not doing<br />
well. <strong>The</strong> gross natbnal product<br />
lhows little growth sol Soviet<br />
agriculture shows no growth at all.<br />
A drop in the birth rate during the<br />
second World War has brought nn a<br />
shortage of labor.<br />
<strong>The</strong> unctnploymcnt rate may be<br />
more thai* three percent, a considerable<br />
nunber of people out of<br />
work for Ac sue cf the counr.y.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Soviet Union is iteadily falling<br />
behind the U.S.: its standard of living<br />
is at 40 percent of the American<br />
level.<br />
Alcunoltun i* At a rate so high that •<br />
the state will not even reveal the<br />
percentage. It contributes to the loss<br />
of Soviet productivity; the average<br />
Soviet worker lotcs 13 days to illness<br />
annually, compared with 4.6<br />
davs that a worker loses in tlx U.S.<br />
Murray Fcshbach. Georgetown<br />
University economist and<br />
demographer, who compiled 25<br />
years of data on the Soviet Union<br />
for the United States Bureau of the<br />
Ccrous. stated. "<strong>The</strong>y need major<br />
management revision, incentive<br />
systems, capital investment, tighter<br />
discipline or labor and lighter<br />
management rdhcrence to the plan.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y'll have to change the Staliniu<br />
model, but how much they can or<br />
will change seems unclear."<br />
' If the Soviet leaden wish, they<br />
could choose other communiit<br />
systems like UKMC of Hungar) and<br />
China.<br />
But Soviet leaden are reluctant to<br />
share those methods. Marshall I.<br />
Goldman, the Wellcsley College<br />
and Harvard University economist,<br />
explained "<strong>The</strong>y view themselves<br />
as the guardians, the patriarchv of<br />
the communist system as it's bten<br />
spelled out in the Soviet Union. If<br />
they abandoned their model, they<br />
vould be following Chine"<br />
<strong>The</strong> So\trt leaden do not wim a<br />
decp-scaied change. Dcnab Ross of<br />
the Berkeley-Stanford program said<br />
they will tuvc to just make the<br />
system ". . . work a little bit<br />
better."<br />
Gorbachev may be the key »Improving<br />
the country. He b interested<br />
in reform, and nothing in<br />
hb actions suggests that he will<br />
change tbe basic Soviet system. He<br />
was selected precisely because he<br />
would try not to change the system,<br />
but hold it tojtther.<br />
For the industries. Gorbachev<br />
may insbt that factories and<br />
businesses operate at profit. He may<br />
also reward workers for diligent<br />
effort.<br />
Regarding the changes In<br />
agriculture, he mainly wants to<br />
organize farm workers into<br />
brigades. Worken would h*v; to<br />
contract with farm management for<br />
tools and seed and would cam<br />
rewards with diligent effort.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bedget for reforming thr induurial<br />
and agricultural ptvjims<br />
require* a van turn of money. During<br />
thii intermittent period tot the<br />
Soviets, however, supplemental<br />
money cannot be expected to co»ne<br />
from a decrease in Soviet military<br />
spending.<br />
Gorbachev knows he cannot limit<br />
himself to domestic affairs and will<br />
have to guin his wn experience in<br />
foreign affairs.<br />
Seventy -live-ycar-old Foreign<br />
Minuter Andrei Gromvkc. the current<br />
Soviet authority on foreign<br />
rel>* MI*, "ill inevitably depart<br />
from ofT.v. caving Gorbachev to<br />
select a new foreign-policy leader.<br />
It is doubtful that Gorbachev will<br />
change the current foreign policy of<br />
parallel cooperation and competition<br />
with the United States.<br />
A few noun after former Soviet<br />
President Chemeako's death, Presldent<br />

not made a decision.<br />
Secretary of State George<br />
Schultz. who returned from<br />
Motcow to brief Reagan, said Gorbachev<br />
was "energetic and<br />
businesslike." but be «!» ccutiontd.<br />
"It fs one thing to be<br />
businesslike, but whetl-cr is arm<br />
out you can do business b another<br />
matter."'<br />
Western goveromeot analyst*<br />
who specialize in affairs of the<br />
Soviet Union concur that GOTbachev.<br />
like his mento:. Andropov.<br />
was overinterpreted by tbe West as<br />
beini "liberal." as a man who<br />
would take steps to reconstruct the<br />
Soviet system.<br />
Gorbachev's style b reflective of<br />
a new Soviet generation. Hb dark<br />
American-cut itia show roodcrnism.<br />
ability to look at situatiocs in<br />
fresher perspective than the ciierty<br />
hard-linen of the Politburo.<br />
TV-i new «y»e may mislead<br />
Westerners into thinking he is an<br />
easy potHican to win ever. He b<br />
not. Michael Heller, French<br />
historian of the Soviet Union, said.<br />
"Just because Gorbachev cracks<br />
Jokes, and Mrs. Gorbachev b<br />
' elegant and slim doesn't mean<br />
totalitarianism has ceased to exist."<br />
In discussion, he b relaxed but<br />
assertive. Last December, during<br />
defense talks with British Prime<br />
Miniuer Margaret Thatcher, he said<br />
with a laugh. "We ue not uUt>|<br />
you u> get rid of whu you call your<br />
deterrent — but just to count it in the<br />

u* *J. '<br />
If younger candidates do eventually<br />
fill the Politburo, the world<br />
should siill not anticipate a radical<br />
change in the Soviet system. <strong>The</strong><br />
new ruling members will be better<br />
cJucated and be more flexible, certainly,<br />
but they may use their<br />
faculties to continue Uie Interests of<br />
Marxist government. <strong>The</strong> West remains<br />
hopeful of better relations,<br />
but is still on guard.<br />
Family farms facing extinction<br />
ByC*riaNcwmeycr<br />
Thomas Jefferson had a vision of<br />
America as a land o" small, independent<br />
fannen.<br />
Today Congress a fighting over<br />
the importance if that "family<br />
farm" to American agriculture.<br />
Unable to sbouMcr the del* and<br />
othc* nigh costs of farming, many<br />
small farnien are tailing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Rcag*n Administration, advocttc<br />
ot the ftve market. pUtu to<br />
drastically redvee the amount of<br />
farm subsidies. But the Adjunutratioo<br />
abo predicts that bcauK of<br />
their size, family farms may DO* be<br />
able to survive. <strong>The</strong> debts and<br />
market flucnutiooi they will ac<br />
forced to cadurc may send many of<br />
them out of business.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fanu.'/ farm idea popularized<br />
by Jefferson »as dranuuically in*<br />
nueoccd oy the K/vncstcad Act of<br />
1862. which granted a plot of free<br />
land to any qualified person willing<br />
to fan* and cultivate it for five<br />
yean. ihoutMcU of Americans, inclttiioj<br />
many immigrarKk, took thrs<br />

On the San Francisco UnUM<br />
Schcol District: My concept of<br />
"diurict" is the 63.000 youngsters<br />
wiihin the district. So to me. a major<br />
challenge facing all of us is how u><br />
;^ovlde the best T^'fnti real opponuni'}'<br />
fur each of us to learn more about<br />
each other. And that's the<br />
challenge: how best *o help folks to<br />
see it as a challenge and not as a<br />
problem.<br />
On student saurament: I think it<br />
is very important. What you're (the<br />
stujcnl) doing (is) a couole of<br />
things. One, U you're building your<br />
own decision mailing abflity. TWc.<br />

District."<br />
..Part of why irudeK govcrnmciv's<br />
imponan (is) lor you to<br />
learn that yoc can work within the<br />
establishment to get some of the<br />
things you want done. And when<br />
inat doesn't work. I know there are<br />
otr. r kinds uf altcrortivc methods<br />
* you M\ uic. But I do encourage you<br />
to uf c your student government as a<br />
»ty of helping to nuke changes ll^t<br />
c z6 to be made. Nothing's perfect.<br />

In retrospect, the results or the last few Arafcmy<br />

In fact, over the put several years. Bay Areaproduced<br />
soundtracks have dominated Uie nominations<br />
for the Sound Oscar.<br />
Amadcus, which won eight Academy Awards<br />
ovcnll. including one for sound, is an example of the<br />
special work being done in the Bay Area<br />
<strong>The</strong> film, including the soundtrack, was produced<br />
a! the Saul Zaentz Film Center in Berkeley. <strong>The</strong><br />
sovadtnek's production was supervised by Bay Area<br />
sound designers Mark Berger. Tom Scott, end Todd<br />
:Roekelbeide.<br />
Many more film soundtracks with Bay Area<br />
backgrounds have achieved fame and recognition.<br />
Tte Right Satf. for example, was last year's winner<br />
of the O«car for Sound. This movie's soundtrack,<br />
like that of Amadou, was produced at the Saul Zacntz<br />
Film Center.<br />
Never Cry Wotfil anothct movie whose soundtrack<br />
was produced at this facility.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> nuking of a movie soundtrack is often times a<br />
tedious process. When a movie viewer sees a scene<br />
where many different actions are taking place und<br />
many different sounds are being generated and blended<br />
together, he may be under the impression that the<br />
sounds were simply recorded on the spot, h cannof be<br />
done that way.<br />
In this age of stereophonic sound, viewers demand<br />
sound clarity and realism beyond what might actually<br />
be heard in the "true" siluiuon. Film producers cannot<br />
just record sound as they film.<br />
<strong>The</strong> modem process of sound editing and producing<br />
doesn't only involve the music to be played during<br />
the movie. Of equal importance to the producers<br />
are the less obvious, sometimes almost undctcctable.<br />
sounds which increase realism or help create and control<br />
the mood of a movie.<br />
All sounds arc recorded individually and then spliced<br />
into • reel at the appropriate moment of the movie.<br />
One reel, for example, might contain all of the car<br />
engine sounds for a movie. This reel would eventually<br />
be played simultaneously with the cube: sound<br />
reels for this movie to create a master rcct containing<br />
all of the sound effects at precisely the right moment.<br />
This time-consuming work requires patience and<br />
skill. In producing Amadeus. over 70 reels of sound<br />
effects were recorded for the market scenes alone.<br />
Overall, the soundtrack for this movie required a<br />
year's work on the part of Bergcr. Scott, and<br />
Boekelheidc.<br />
Besides the Saul Zacntz Film Center in Berkeley.<br />
Lucasfilm is located in Sui Rafael and in San Francisco<br />
there is Francis Ford Coppola's Zoctrope<br />
Studios.<br />
A publicity spokesperson for Uicaifilm commented.<br />
"I don't know why wr'rc all up here. It's<br />
just coincidence."<br />
Making money in SF<br />
By Jculca Leung<br />
Ot* a Monday morning in 1848, a nun named John<br />
Marshall flood ankle-deep ai the south forte of the<br />
American River in Cilifomia and found pieces of a<br />
yellow metal. <strong>The</strong> metal tuned out to be gold, and<br />
thus began what historians consider "the greatest<br />
adventure since the Crusades'* — the Gold Rush of<br />
1849.<br />
At (he onset, the gold seekers, or Forty-Niners as<br />
they soon became known, were relatively few in<br />
- number. In a few short years, however, the count<br />
nearly doubled from 140.000 to a fourth of a million.<br />
Men from all pans of the world with varying cultures<br />
Cocked to this former Mexican province, bringing<br />
with them universal ambitions and desires.<br />
Meanwhile, the coinage situation in tic Weil was<br />
one of chaotic heterogeneity. Many different kinds<br />
circulated, among them French louisdors, Dutch<br />
guilders. Indian rupees. Mexican reals, English shtllings,<br />
and American prcccs. For commerce to grow, a<br />
standardized form of currency was needed.<br />
Nature, hu^.'ver, did not design raw gold for the<br />
needs of commerce. To meet monetary requirements,<br />
the gold must be fashiored into standard forms of<br />
standard value and convenient size. In other words, it<br />
had to be minted into coins.<br />
In his final message to Congress in 1948. President<br />
James K. Polk first proposed the building of a brsnt h<br />
mint in California. On *uly 3. 1852. Congresi<br />
authorized the establishment of a US mint in San<br />
Francisco.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first mint, the predecessor ot wSat U now<br />
known as the Old Mint, was located in a gO-'oot<br />
square buHdins on Comiaercial Street. <strong>The</strong> gold<br />
coins produced the first year valued $4 million.<br />
Merely two yean later, product totaled $25<br />
million,<br />
.As time went by. the relatively small mint could no<br />
longer meet the growing demands. Thus, in 1874.<br />
. operations moved to new quarters at Fifth and MUaiott<br />
streets, a contemporary, nxrny factory often<br />
called "one of the best appointed mints in the<br />
-;; world."<br />
To CaJifomlans who were separated from "the<br />
• finer things" bade East, the mint, a fine example of<br />
the architectural style known as Federal Cubical<br />
Revival, was more than a coin-producing facory; it<br />
was a laark or culture and progress. Its spacious<br />
steps, backed by a sextet of Doric columns, became<br />
• everyone's favorite spot for politics] and industrial<br />
Not iy did the mint pov\cv» jcsthctk; beauty, hut<br />
endurt.-ri strength as well. <strong>The</strong> San Francisco Cult<br />
wrote of the building, "<strong>The</strong> fire department will have<br />
little trouble quenching an> conflagration that may<br />
arise within its walls, and unless an earthquake gives<br />
it a subterranean quietus, it bids fair lo stand for<br />
centuries."<br />
This prediction proved to be true in (he Earthquake<br />
of 1906. Of all the buildings in what was the business<br />
district, the mint was the only one to emerge unscathed.<br />
During the di*a»tcr. loyal employees risked their<br />
lives and came to rescue the mint. Engulfed by domes<br />
and melting glxu, they pumped water from the artesian<br />
well below the central court to save the building<br />
from subsequent fire.<br />
Through the 1906 Calamity and three major wars<br />
the Old Mint served. Ironically, it could not meet the<br />
increasing demand of the changing times for coins.<br />
To increase production, operations were moved once<br />
again in 1937 — this time lo a square, marble edifice<br />
overlooking the city at Duboce and Bucharun streets.<br />
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$<br />
On June 16, 1973, the Old Mint wns officially<br />
opened to the public as a museum. <strong>The</strong> front of the<br />
building serves as the museum, while the rear houses<br />
the mint's rpecial coins and medals division. <strong>The</strong><br />
computer center within the mint permits the mint to<br />
rapidly process orders for. the public. This service<br />
generates millions of dollars a year, thus making<br />
u^toration possible without tax fiinds.<br />
K*tt the shop where souvenir ure sold and coins<br />
a.t orc-anl by collectors, the public can see •otnc of<br />
the scaltA used to weigh gold during the days of the<br />
Cold Rui n. Some of them are Will sensitive enough to<br />

At' -OM of one dollar, the visitor can press a but*<br />

Anchor Steam Beer<br />
Overflowing^<br />
with taste<br />
By Robert Kim<br />
In an age when most breweries<br />
aSt? 3*e of the art equipment, and<br />
wxne nw artificial ingredients. Anchor<br />
Brew\-ry Company adheres to a<br />
novel approach in nuking Anchor<br />
Stcim Beer: tradition and<br />
authenticity.<br />
"We're nuking a distinctive beer.<br />
one with integrity and quality," says<br />
nwncr and head brewmaster Friu.<br />
Maytag. "I believe a brewer thouk!<br />
know atom tradition. He thould hrrl<br />
the ambition to maintain inter'jy."<br />
Upon entering ihe brewery, one<br />
can seme tradition. <strong>The</strong> reception<br />
room or "'taproom" looks like a<br />
muKum. Noitalgic beer tigns and<br />

One can see workers supervising<br />
and regulating tlic gleaming vessels.<br />
Ma) tag imported these vends from<br />
Germany because they were traditional<br />
brewing veuclt. This process<br />
allows Anchor lo produce an authentic<br />
styled beer uniquely dark,<br />
dense, and slightly bitter.<br />
"I struggled to do everything in the<br />
brewery as traditionally as possible,"<br />
uys Maytag.<br />
Anchor is a "large<br />
microbrewcry." a tiny drop in -Jie<br />
barrel compsred.lo Anheuser Busch<br />
and Miller, the industry leaders.<br />
Because Anchor is relatively small.<br />
il allows for a tcamlikc atmosphere<br />
among the employees. Maytaj siys<br />
that he nirts Anchor like a family,<br />
with free di'xusuon and shared<br />
respor-jbiliry.<br />
"All the employees here feel that<br />
they've got the whole company on<br />
their ihoulders." explains general<br />
manager Gordon MacDermotl.<br />
Ttutt's the reason for our quality.'*<br />
Also. "Anchor makes the product<br />
for itself, not sacrificing quality for<br />
gantity," says co-worker Bailey<br />
While most modem breweries rely<br />
oo artificial prescrvKrves to stop<br />
""oobscterial growuX Anchor uses<br />
only hops, a natural preservative.<br />
Anchor relies oo a bmnflg process<br />
thai combines oid-world quality and<br />
state of the an technical knowledge<br />
to produce its distinctive brew.<br />
Anchor Steam Beer is made differently<br />
than the major bonds.<br />
While the common lager been are<br />
brewed by slow fermentatfad and<br />
alorcd In refrigerator cdhfi for '<br />
maturing, steam beers are brewed at<br />
higher fermentation tetspentores.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were popuUrucd in 19tb century<br />
mining camps which lacked<br />

Produced in San Francnco since<br />
1896. Anchor Steam Beer was not the<br />
only steam beer around. In fact, there<br />
were .'.cvcral hundred •steam<br />
breweries, even before the Anchor<br />
Brewing Company (then called<br />
Golden City Brewery) exatai.<br />

FUTURE _<br />

By Nkk FSonntlnos<br />
Many of you muse be wondering why senior Kerin Allen's Khool<br />
jacket has been seen on *> many different people this year. <strong>The</strong> c.v<br />
planation U :implc; Krvin is suffering from a d ; vaic known as<br />
"psychoonihromorphJuU." You &ec, Kevin Is actiUily wearing his<br />
jacM all the time, bitt In certain phases of his disease his appearance<br />
chances producing ihs effect that someone else is wearing his jacket.<br />
I told you ii was nimple.<br />
M1.1v of yoj tWt suy around to see the afterschool activities going<br />
on in bie rounyanl. For instance, I saw a group of kids playing<br />
catch with a football. Frew tan Danny Cao was running long. Someoae<br />
threw him a pass, and the ball was stightlv overthrown. He<br />
had his eye on the pass the whole time. Danny stretched out his<br />
hands and, w^th th; ball at his fingertips, he ran into a garbage can.<br />
But don't worr, — the garbage can wai all right. As for Danny, in<br />
the future, he's sticking lo hackysack.<br />
I work at a nujor department store JX Stoncstown. I won't mention<br />
an)' names, but it's the one with the big "E." Anyway, a lot of<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> students pas* through on tlieir way to the bus stop Well,<br />
sophomore Silvia Martinez was cu the escalator going up. and she<br />
noticed a "we" *ign on some of the merchandise on the floor<br />
below. Her curiosity got the best o( her, an*f she stuck out her head<br />
to see what mis on sale. Unforturuiely f screw in a<br />
lightbulb? Scv:n — c*»e to hold the bulb, and six to turn the Udder.<br />
How many tenon does it take to screw in a li^htbulb? 360 — one to<br />
K.rcw it in. nnd 359 to tighten it *o they could write on their<br />
transcripts that they were in the Electrical Engineering Club.<br />
P.S. — Redeem ihi* School DJC article to Kevin Allen, for one<br />
(ten mod of wearing hu jacket, but remember, he tu> ihc right to<br />
refuse service to anyone!<br />

<strong>The</strong> truth came out in Ms. Gonzalez's Philology Class. Marc<br />
Badcr and Valeric Neck dcm?nsirj;cd for the cr.tirr <strong>class</strong>, and soon<br />
for the entit: world, which sex is tougher. <strong>The</strong> historical cxpori<br />
ment: While students were told to prick their fingers for a blood<br />
sample. Mure, the adventurous scientist tlut he t*. seemed to be very<br />
interested in hit vein*. While IT probed and probed, blood gushed<br />
and gushed. Poor Valeric! <strong>The</strong> more blood that flowed, the weaker<br />
her stomach became. Suddenly Valerie swan-dived to the floor in a<br />
dead faint. Marc said he will be willing to search for his vein again,<br />
once bis finger heals, if he can have another volunteer.<br />
While in Berkeley for the Model United ^Nations Conference<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> students again proved why they arc s> /" ~ .o the rest of the<br />
world. Jesse "<strong>The</strong> Navigator'* Schwartz \hu\*ca>cil his uncanny<br />
talent for reading maps by getting lost. Chris Cri«rra and Pat<br />
Magee proved they know their sports: they snuck into the Cal foot<br />
ball stadium lo play soccer.<br />
I have always thought psychology was the study of the mind.<br />
However, it seems lo have something to do with luces z\ well. Thi«<br />
explanation stems from a recent <strong>class</strong> period when Henry WOIIJJX<br />
note was touched by Vlncc Carter. I think that an ctpkruiion h in<br />
onict. gcnt«men.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re art more <strong>Lowell</strong> hcroc* who appear on the front pjgo of this<br />
paper. While at the Model U.N. Conference, senior Jon Albert* apprchcrkicd<br />
v«nc terrorist delegates who were killing people with<br />
water pistoU. <strong>The</strong> real United Nanons is flying Jon lo New York so<br />
he can be honored as an "h.tcmaii'TV Peace Keeper."<br />
In other newv senior David Cho has received an award from hi<br />
employer tor bebg "Top Coif Can Washer of tht Month." I think<br />
David deserves a big hand of applause for his tremendous effuru.<br />
Senior IJUIHC Bcilon and junior Michael Alberts have begun a<br />
campaign to petition the College Board to begin an A.P. Interior<br />
Decorating Cass It stems the p-ir enjoy redcco"\ting their hutwy<br />

Do you worship the Devil when you play your records backwards?<br />
Do yea feel discriminated agaimt because you wear Spandex? If you<br />
ouwer in the affirmative to both of these queries, then you should<br />
spply fot membership in the highly selective Twisted Sbter Fan<br />

founder, extolls the menu of tltc club: "Not only do you get to appreciate<br />
jreat and cultural music with other great and ctilturu TSFC<br />
roembert. but aL*o top colleges, such as Harvard, Stanford, and the<br />
Univeisity of Alboq ;crque. regard membership in TSFC as a perfect<br />
addition to any appt'eation. And most importantly for <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
studenu, U.C. Berkeley automatically accepts members of TSFC<br />

Variety is the spice of life, or so it seems wilh <strong>Lowell</strong>'s<br />
block jackets. Tai.e Jason Gallcgos, Richard Weeks, and<br />
Ernie Lee for example. Tiny are three guys, all involved<br />
in the same sports, with three completely different<br />
jackets.<br />
Gallcgos wears a jacket with a red body and white<br />
leather sleeves. Weeks owns a jacket with a grey body<br />
and cream colored sleeves. Lee possesses a completely<br />
grey jacket. No matter what the style, the jacket appears<br />
to be a status symbol of athletic accomplishments.<br />
<strong>The</strong> main purpose of the jacket is to display the block L<br />
which is earned by participating in athletic competition.<br />
Students now have expanded their use of the block jacket<br />
to include other athletic awards and to display their personalities.<br />
Students use the jacket to display their own<br />
originality and preference. <strong>The</strong>y often decorate their<br />
jacket by using various nicknames or patches.<br />
Take Kevin Allen as an example. Allen displays a patch<br />
modeled after himself, the gorilla. Michael Zimmerman<br />
places patches of all !he awa.ds be has received on every<br />
available space. Orpheus Crutchficld gives Zimmerman<br />
competition in covering up the original color of the<br />
jacket.<br />
Others, such as Lcc, like to keep their clothing simple<br />
and modest. Lee puts only the basic L and stars on. Eric<br />
Flowers, on in: other hand, feels the jacket is not worth<br />
the expense and hassle. Yes, they do not give these<br />
jackets away far nothing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> jacket itself, the lettering, and all the patches add<br />
up to overwhelming prices. Depending on size, shape,<br />
'-and- design, prices for patches" •range -anywhere from<br />
S5-S75. Lettering costs approximately S3 a line. Both ore<br />
available at Triple A. <strong>The</strong> jacket itself can be purchased<br />
from such places as Jostens, Doherty and Dunne, and<br />
Fordham.' Prices range from S5O-S1OO, no extras<br />
included.<br />
After they've gone to all the trouble of Fixing the jacket<br />
(o their liking, someone else ends up wearing it (like Lexa<br />
Thomson). Jonathan Alberts has not seen his jacket since<br />
November.<br />
On the other hand, girls prefer to keep their jackets<br />
plain and simple. <strong>The</strong>y keep to tradition and wear the<br />
basic red and white jacket without all the excessive ornaments.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y just like to keep warm.<br />
Do you teiow the way to San Jose?<br />
Well, if you're a fan of the San Francisco Giants, you<br />
may find yourself heading down south to watch them<br />
play. <strong>The</strong> proposed move has not been finalized, but just<br />
imagine...the San Jose Giants?!?<br />
Ugh...<br />
With all due respect to the city and residents of San<br />
Jose, I just can't envision the Giants playing there. For<br />
one thing, San Jose doesn't presently have a stadium in<br />
which the team could play. San Jose Mayor Tom<br />
McEnery has stated that a stadium would be built for the<br />
Giants if the move is eventually made. Two questions re<br />
main: who would finance the construction of a stadium<br />
end where would it be located?<br />
One suggested site includes an area between the<br />
State Hospital, which is a state mental hospital, and a<br />
sewage treatment plant. And they said the wind at<br />
Candlestick Park was bad! Try to imagine how the win<br />
will cany the "fragrant" odors associated with sewage to<br />
the stadium if it is built there. Not a very pleasant though<br />
(or aroma for thai matter), is it?<br />
I sincerely nope that the Giants remain in San Francisco,<br />
but if <strong>The</strong> City truly doesn't care about them<br />
they're entitled to move wherever they will receive the<br />
fan support that they deserve.<br />
Opening day was just a few days ago. !t may have been<br />
the last opening day that the Giants will ever play in Son<br />
Francisco. ,/w<br />

Thomas Harrison: 1932-1985<br />
With the unexpected death of social<br />
science, teacher Thomas Harrison.<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong>'s faculty and student body lost a<br />
compassionate, pleasant, and dedicated<br />
individual.<br />
A native San Franciscan, Harrison was<br />
the youngest member of a large, closeknit<br />
Irish-American family.<br />
He started his education m Star of the<br />
Sea and then wen' or to Saint Ignatius<br />
High School.<br />
After serving in the Korean war. Harrison<br />
completed his education at ihc<br />
University of Sar. Francisco where he<br />
earned a B.A. and a M.A.<br />
"We may meet a<br />
defeat, but we must be<br />
ready to stand up again<br />
and grow from the<br />
obstacles."- Harrison<br />
Upon graduation. Harmon began his<br />
30-year career in the San Francisco<br />
Unified School District.<br />
Before coming 10 <strong>Lowell</strong> in 1967. Harrison<br />
taught for two yean at Apto* Middle<br />
School and ten years at Horace Mann.<br />
Harrison's notable achievement* included<br />
hi* production of slideshows about<br />
BART. Son Francisco shopping centers,<br />
and Sandlot City — A History of Wetttrn<br />
San Francisco, which was acclaimed by<br />
many civic organization* and teacher<br />
groups.<br />
Harmon initiated and fought to<br />
preserve the Pre-Law course at <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
despite budget constraints which continually<br />
threatened its existence.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Prc-Law program also entailed<br />
student participation in a statewide mock<br />
trial competition. Harrison's devotion to<br />
the mock trial competition was recently<br />
rewarded when Lowcli> team won the<br />
state championship of the pre-trial<br />
motion.<br />
A devout Catholic and « proud<br />
Irishman. Harrison was highly tctivc in<br />
both church activities and chanty work<br />
and showed his intense awareness c f his<br />
Irish heritage in his involvement with the<br />
Irish Cultural Center. Active in the<br />
organization since its inception, Harrison<br />
used his historian's expertise (u help in<br />
selecting works for its library.<br />
A dignified, utwvsuming {•cntU'itun.<br />
Harrison was sincerely interested i.i each<br />
individual he came in contact with, and<br />
his friendliness and hospitality were evident<br />
in his eagerness 10 share his<br />
knowledge with others. Harrison's<br />
nephew John Dowhuc remembers. "He<br />
(Harrison) was always asking what he<br />
could dtt for other*, yet. he never asked<br />
for help for himself."<br />
Having a strong sense of family tics.<br />
Harrison spent many of his weekends at<br />
his Saratoga home with his relatives.<br />
Those who knew him will iniss his<br />
quiet good humrr and his comfortable<br />
presence.<br />
As a man wno always seemed content<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> welcomes<br />
return of Kermesse<br />
"I'm delighted the Kermcs-V is back<br />
and was happy li> kick it off." said Principal<br />
Alan Fibi.Ui. uho officutlv opened<br />
the 1985 Kcrmcssc.<br />
"It's fun win an international flavor,"<br />
enthused jmloi Chris Lc.<br />
To the •leligit of all, the 14th annual<br />
Kcrmcssc look ptace on April 27. <strong>The</strong><br />
Kcrmcssc is ar exciting day for showing<br />
respect lor cultures, learning about<br />
foreign custom, and taking special pride<br />
in your OAT shnicily.<br />
"We enjoy getting everyone together<br />
to be prtiud ?f his background; there is<br />
mutt^il rcspc:t for all cultures." s.iid<br />
Marc /avail, foreign language UV»<br />
director.<br />
Besttes being a diy for all to cat 2nd be<br />
merry and 'o witness the fruits of their<br />
labors, the Kermesse raises funds Tor the<br />
foreign lan'^uage lab. <strong>The</strong> S3.000 or so<br />
tha*. comes fnrr the ticket sales at the<br />
£crmcue buys all materials and repairs<br />
for the lab. which receives little or .TO<br />
money from the school district. "<strong>The</strong><br />
language lab is built on the noocy from<br />
the Kcrmcssc." stated Sara Trclaun.<br />
foreign language teacher.<br />
In addition, the Kermesse has meaning<br />
beyond that of funding the lab and othc<br />
foreign language department activities.<br />
As in 1970 when the event began, the<br />
Kcrmcssc -.till i> "a djv when kids yet<br />
together with their culiurc.*'<br />
According to George* Tchikuvani,<br />
language teacher jnd Kcrmcssc<br />
r.rgani/cr. "<strong>The</strong> school wouldn't have<br />
the spirit it should have without the<br />
Kcrmcssc. In a \cn\c. we're trying to<br />
regain the spirit losi w it ft Prop. 13 and the<br />
budget cut*. TIK: school it re^ainin^ the<br />
respect it deserves."<br />
Since 1970. the Kcrnics.sc ha* taken<br />
place every year, except last year. <strong>The</strong><br />
foreign language teachers, in protest over<br />
the required supervision of aficrschool<br />
sports events, decided to cancel the<br />
Kcrmosc. <strong>The</strong> conflict has not been<br />
resolved; ihc teachers monitor events and<br />
plan ihc Kcrmcvse. "Wcdo the Kcrmcssc<br />
for the kids." said Trclaun. "and we got<br />
tired of fighting."<br />
. <strong>The</strong> teachers noted that the incidentfree<br />
afternoon w_s a Cme when all had<br />
fun being together. "It is so wonderful to<br />
have a good time without incident." said<br />
TrcLfun.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Kcrmcssc is a <strong>Lowell</strong> tradition, •<br />
day of camaraderie, mutual respect, and<br />
fun which should be continued. In the<br />
future, the Kermesse will be an integral<br />
port of the school, and we on the staff of<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Lowell</strong> thank everyone involved for<br />
another wonderful festival.<br />
Thomas lUrrfeia, social s-fence Iracbcr, pasted mvrmy on April 14,1985.<br />
and satisfied with hi* life. Harrison J mply<br />
went about his work for 30 years<br />
Donohuc remarked. "I om hr-nonal (o<br />
be taking over his cLtssc* fur the re st of<br />
the semester."<br />
"1 am scry appreciative to the f;cully<br />
and students for ihcir outpouring of sympathy.<br />
It has teen a very difficult time fo:<br />
alt of u« and the community at <strong>Lowell</strong> has<br />
made it much easier." he acknowledged.<br />
In a strangely appropriate statement<br />
from a student interview conducted shortly<br />
before his death, Harrison philosophized.<br />
"Optimism is the key. We ma> meet<br />
a defeat. but we must be ready to stand up<br />
again anJ grow frr.m the obstacles'."<br />
Students protest<br />
against apartheid<br />
As in ih? *60*s. American youths across<br />
the nation arc vixidm^ up for their beliefs.<br />
According to experts, "Apartheid has<br />
resurrected activism on college camp-isca<br />
and given career-orientated students a clear<br />
moral issue to tight far."<br />
Opponents nf apartheid, the white-ruled<br />
government of Swth Airicd. hcs*. been<br />
protesting in both the United States and<br />
abroad to alleviate 'Jic discrimination<br />
against blacks *n that country.<br />
In Johannesburg. South Africa. Bishop<br />

"<strong>The</strong> moral issues are clear." said<br />
R »cri £ Price, a political science professor<br />
at UC Bcrkrl«? who specializes in Atncac<br />
politics, 'ana people have miscalculated<br />
the nature of Lirrer: university students in<br />
gcncnl and at Berkeley in particu'ar.<br />
Students may have been more apoIi'icU<br />
(recently), but they're still ready foi<br />
Apartheid has resurrected activism on college<br />
campuses and given career-oriented students a<br />
clear moral issue to fight for.<br />
apartheid minister* in a march on April 3.<br />
On the following day, black* and whites<br />
in several U.S. cities observed the 17th anniversary<br />
of Uk: a&ttssination of Rev. Martin<br />
Lurthcr King. Jr.. another black Nobciwinning<br />
clergyman, in a similar manner.<br />
But it is at the universities across the<br />
United States that the strongest prcssurw<br />
against apartheid policies are felt Over<br />
100 colleges participated in rallies, marches,<br />
and teach-ins on April 25. Nstional<br />
Student A.!ti-Apanhcid Day.<br />
Previously, on April 4. 4,000 Harvard<br />
students crowded Harvard Yard to suppon<br />
Rev. Jesse Jackson when he spoke at an<br />
anti-apartheid rally. On this sums day. 250<br />
Columbia students blockaded the doors of<br />
the main administration building, and 12<br />
students went on hunger strikes, proclaiming<br />
that they would not dciist until th?<br />
university issued a statement divesting<br />
from companies that do business with<br />
South Africa.<br />
Closer to home at University of California.<br />
Berkeley, the UC Divestmcn* Coali*<br />
mobilization.<br />
"Students do want to be a part of<br />
something larger than their own selfinterest."<br />
<strong>The</strong> students devote much time and<br />
energy when they protest: many have been<br />
arrested and charged with criminal counts<br />
and face threats of disciplinary actions<br />
from the colleges. Despite the possible<br />
consequences, the students ore willing to<br />
make whatever sacrifices necessary. Logsn<br />
Evan, a Harvard senior, refused to accept<br />
his diploma and engage *n final examinations<br />
in protest of the university's inraiments<br />
in South Africa. Timothy Lubin,<br />
a junior at Columbia, revealed tha 1 one of<br />
the protesting students, Jose Dc Sousa. can<br />
face a death sentence as a traitor if he we«<br />
expelled from the university and deported<br />
back to his native South Africa.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Lowell</strong> u not advocating divestment<br />

the efforts and concern shown by the<br />
college students who arc selfless in helping<br />
others and unafraid to take a stand aw:<br />

the event u>as a smashing<br />
success.<br />
Why? First of all. no one left<br />
hungry. Each person received a fret<br />

Fried Chicken.<br />
Secondly, students had the opportunity<br />
to voice their opinions on<br />

<strong>The</strong>y iharcd problems and ideas,<br />
some practical, some outlanush. based<br />
upon their personal experiences cho»l>.<br />
Most importantly, these students<br />
had the opportunity to talk with<br />
sluJcnts from many other high<br />

Of the over 1.600 students at the<br />

ear* ago, on April 35,1945. a small J.iwp of Ural world leaden garnered<br />
a S*n Francisco to form in organixation "to save succeeding genentiont<br />

Tlte chiner formed at the San Francoco Conference eventually served as<br />

At the time the charter wrs written, the work! wu concluding llar earned by<br />

comparable worth is tSc only means<br />
of immediately bridging the »jfc<br />
A major bone of contention betwren<br />
critics and uippartcrs of comparable<br />
worth i% the objectivity and<br />
the validity of the job evaluation<br />
system. Opponent* chuigr that * rule<br />

pouible to accurately measure their<br />
uonh by numerical factor* *nd that<br />
a job'* true worth can only be aucvied<br />
in the marketplace.<br />
Proponents, on the other hand,<br />
point out that comparative job evaluations<br />
arc a routine practice among<br />
emprf>>er» when •etting pay scales.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Dictionary of Occupational<br />
TuUt. for example, published by the<br />
U.S. Dcpinmera of Labor, i* a wide-<br />
1} used atd in vetting ularies which<br />
ranks job* from movt valuable to Icau<br />
valuable TUit. comparable worth is<br />
only a demand for faimc\s to both<br />
sexe* in such evaluations.<br />
Critics alvo claim that the gap between<br />
male and female wipes is<br />
primarily due lo the tendency of<br />
women lo select law-paying job*, fur<br />
rcavons vuch as a Uck of college<br />
education or the need to divide time<br />
between job and family. Supporters<br />
of ccmparablc worth, however, state<br />
that occupations dominated by<br />
women pay lower salaries for the<br />
%ery reason that they are dominated<br />
by women, who are viewed a> a<br />
vourcc of cheap bbor.<br />
Another argument raised by opponents<br />
i\ Out if women's wages<br />
grow faiter than their productivity,<br />
soaring labor cost* could feed inflation,<br />
and butinesvci would become<br />
lew willing lo hire women. Proponents<br />
contend that productivity will<br />
rive bcduvc the current trend for<br />
smaller families will allow wtitncn to<br />
vpend more time on the job. In<br />
Australia, where comparable wunh<br />
legislation was enacted ten yean spy,<br />
hiring of women by business has not<br />
markedly declined.<br />
However, in areas where comparable<br />
worth has been enacted, there<br />
hu been little effect on the economy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> State of Minnesota, for instance.<br />
is spending a relatively modest S21.8<br />
million, or 4 percent of the state<br />
budget, to correct sex bias in 8.500<br />
jobs. Furthermore, rather than being<br />
mired in female jobs, female cmplo,..<br />
mem in Minnesota's male-dominated<br />
jobs has climbed by 19 percent.<br />
Perhaps the strongest argument of<br />
comparable witrth'* ••prumenu i*<br />
questioning the v&lidiry or the 63 cent<br />
per dollar figure cited earlier, which<br />
represents an at crape of the earnings<br />
of all working uomen. Among agegroup*<br />
the figure i* much smaller:<br />
women aged 25 to 34 cam 80 percent<br />
of what men their age cam, and<br />
among women aged 20 to 24. the<br />
figure rises (u 89 percent. A major<br />
reason u that women's educational<br />
level* are ruing: in 1981, women<br />
earned more matter's degrees than<br />
men and almo*t as nuny bachelor's<br />
decrees.<br />
Ultimately, the fate of comparable<br />
wonh rests not so much on its menu<br />
or demerits, but with the special interest<br />
groups involved. With private<br />
industry slaiviics to knt billions of<br />
dollars, groups such a* the National<br />
Association of Manufacturers have<br />
understandably gone on the record<br />
opening it. At the tame time, it b<br />
unrcasocuble to asiuznc that worncn<br />
will wxit several generations for<br />
their salaries to equal thcac of men,<br />
and their lobby groups, as well as<br />
unions, arc certain to make this<br />
clear.<br />

South African shares views on apartheid<br />

By Eva Fc*U<br />
Q: As a Htt/r growing up in South<br />
Africa, how were you "conditioned"<br />
to/ttt about apanhetd?<br />
A: Human beings vc amazingly<br />
adaptable and when people grow up<br />
in a system, they very seldom qucslion<br />
it. If they d) question it. ihcy<br />
only question it in the most obviou*ly<br />
unacceptable and odious form.<br />
Using analogy, it's the wne sort<br />
of problem in the women's tno\x~<br />
ment...people arc trying to look Tor<br />
any subtlety in language or attitude,<br />
that almost hai become accepted.<br />
like using the personal pronoun<br />
"he" when one meant people in<br />
general. <strong>The</strong>y (feminists) become<br />
very sensitive (o thcae thing*.<br />
Those are uu sensitivities one<br />
doesn't have in South Africa, and it<br />
require* the equivalent of the<br />
women's movement, an awareness<br />
movement, lo make people aware of<br />
*h»l*» happening.<br />
"If country<br />
has an economic<br />
base and you<br />
pull that<br />
economic carpet<br />
out from under<br />
it, it's going to<br />
stumble a bit. "<br />
You can'l cipect jomeihing like<br />
thai to happen out of the blue; it re*<br />
quirts an internal corutructivc<br />
movement.<br />
And there'* tery little reason in a<br />
country uich ai South Africa lo have<br />
such a movement, because the<br />
pressure ruv iw bem felt. Only<br />
recently has there been cnou[h<br />

one didn't question, until somebody<br />
asked some intellectual questions<br />
about it: "Is it right that...?" And<br />
obviously the answer cannot be.<br />
"Yes. it U right." <strong>The</strong> answer<br />
could be. for instance, "Ye». ii'i<br />
pragmaticaUy working." but in fad<br />
it doesn't even work pugmatically.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re's no justification for it. if it<br />
doesn't work in practice and if it's<br />
not a natural policy in the Tint<br />
place, then there's every reason for<br />
it to change.<br />
Q: How Jo South African schoolt<br />
treat the subject vf apartheid?<br />
A: <strong>The</strong> EnglUh tradition in South<br />
Africa, which I grew up in. is<br />
somewhat schizoid in the sense tfui<br />
in theory they (the English) arc<br />
liberal, but in practice, they are very<br />
keen to look after their own interots.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no difference in the<br />
curriculum of the English and<br />
Afrikaan schools.<br />
<strong>The</strong> difference was that we would<br />
live discussions about ethic* and<br />
Jcmocracy. and the English can talk<br />
about the* thinjn in civics cl*».<br />
hut thev Ain't jpply it I" the l.val<br />
concept rjthcr trun a ciwwitt*: one<br />
<strong>The</strong> English look *t ruuor> m J<br />
very "hiitoncal" tontcst. «* uj*u»<br />
the present day. So ihst's whetc<br />
South African "civics" ended, and<br />
so there were no embarrassing or<br />
heated dweuwion* av you pcrrup%<br />
should have in such a school.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re's also a strong fcclmp in<br />
South Africa that potitics \hould tie<br />
kept out of school,..it's rather like<br />
keeping religion out of school, that<br />
that's \omcthing >ou should do after<br />
hours, 10 discuss and weigh and<br />
debate. Certainly at the universities<br />
there's totally free debate, eicept to<br />
the extent that an>onc who suggest*<br />
_ or ferments violent overthrow i*<br />
silenced.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re's a concept of political banning<br />
in South Afrira. and I found<br />
out about this through the universities.<br />
Certain people would become<br />
political hotheads, and go too far in<br />
terms of what the government was<br />
prepared to accept.-one step short<br />

buildings, for CJiampfr. And of<br />
course they got put awiy, and thL<br />
made one think about this tort of<br />
thing.<br />
Being put away means that one<br />
has to report to the police once «<br />
day. One can't leave the h.-wnc<br />
district, and one can't hold meetings<br />
with more than two or three people<br />
at a lime...one loses all political<br />
clout. So that's how I first became<br />
aware of these deep political •indcrcurrenti.<br />
they ceruinly weren't viuble<br />
or .heard at school.<br />
Q: How do you rtipond to the claim<br />
that dhrstment Is a crucUt/brm of<br />
grass roou praiur* on Jortign<br />
policy?<br />
A: I think that statement is true; the<br />
question is what the effcett arc going<br />
to be. If a country has an<br />
economic base and you pull that<br />
economic carpet out from under h.<br />
it's going to stuntblc a bit. If we do<br />
this, are we going to be in a befir*<br />
position later lo change things, o.arc<br />
we looking for a shon-term<br />
solution?<br />
My view is Urtctly economic.<br />
While you have financial interest in<br />
a company, you can go to a<br />
shareholders meeting and make<br />
material changes in thai company.<br />
Selective divestment is a more intelligent<br />
idea. If American owned<br />
companies are not setting a good e»ample,<br />
then the money ii "tainted."<br />
and there is good reason to divcM.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is ore point 1 would like to<br />
stress. <strong>The</strong>re is no model in the rot<br />
of the world t.*r taking an electorate<br />
of a country i in this case, 20 perccnl<br />
of the population) and expecting<br />
them to vott themselves out of office...<br />
it's cruy< <strong>The</strong> pressures in<br />
thii country for them to do thrt arc<br />
unrealistic, and tantamount to wanting<br />
an ovcmig.it revolution.<br />
Q: What is your opinion about<br />
apartheid?<br />
A: My opinion is that it U a temporary<br />
solution to any problem to<br />
separate the groups concciscd. To<br />
the extent (hat the black people in<br />
South Africa never had total rights<br />
within their so-called designated<br />
areas, that policy failed, and I can't<br />
say I ever «w much good come out<br />
of it. But as tt was originally construed.<br />
I couldn't have taken isuie<br />
with it. because ii seemed u. be a<br />
solution to a real problem.<br />
In rctn»pcct. it rus failed in the<br />
same way that partition of Ireland<br />
failed, although it seemed like a<br />
good idea at the lime. I draw that<br />
"/ he °.sty believe that it was construed<br />
u a Christian and deeply<br />
religious „ hition to the problem, not<br />
a malicious solution, in its first conception.<br />

- FEATURE<br />
SCHOOL DAZE<br />
By Eric tastifT<br />
In some Pulitxcr Prize winning investigative reporting, stall<br />
members of thb tabloid (oops! I mcjn newspaper) have discovered<br />
some very disturbing new*. In a top secret memorandum written by<br />
our Pal of Prince*, it has been discovered thai next year <strong>Lowell</strong> will<br />
change: <strong>Lowell</strong> will become a full scalt military academy. Al long<br />
last. Amiable Al has yielded to pressure from ROTC. In his Ixtt action<br />
as ROTC space-cadci, senior Philip Kwong has convinced <strong>The</strong><br />
Doc to make <strong>Lowell</strong> a model of West Point. All students wilt be taking<br />
seventeen <strong>class</strong>es, have thirty seconds for lunch, have two hours<br />
for strenuous cxcerciscs. nnd the entire student body (the size will<br />
be increased from 2,800 to 33,800) will spend the nights on the gym<br />
floor. I wish I were a senior...<br />
So much for fabricated openers. In actuality, next year <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
students will be taking ten clattcs, not six. have two minutes for lunch.<br />
not forty, aid will be required to start school al 4:35 a.m. Now, isn't<br />
that much better?<br />
On a mom serious note, junior Michael Alberts (he secr.is to grow<br />
in this column along with K.A. — I'm forbidden to say tf^t name<br />
because the guy bcluw me talks about him all the tin*; u. ueing<br />
recruited for Rutgers University come the fall of 1986. Al *''c recent<br />
College Night, the Rutgers representative asked Michael I.JW much<br />
he weighs. Michael replied 215 pound;. <strong>The</strong> .-.founded icp further<br />
queried. "Where do you carry the 50 pounds, or. your butt?!"<br />
Bureaucracy has come to <strong>Lowell</strong> High. In titc fotir-hcadcd monger<br />
we call snident government, there is one council which it called the<br />
Board fcr School, Concerts, and Sludge (it recently changed its name),<br />
or BSCS. Well, the sludge vame out this month. JuJ because tic Comedy<br />
Zone and Model United Nations Clubs failed t" Hie soinc form.<br />
they were excluded from being designated as "Official Clubs." Oh.<br />
honors! What isthti school coming to when a group of students for^c'<br />
to fill out a form? Sure, u rule i» a rule-but come on. thK schcxi! is<br />
made forsttidcnt pan.Jipation. Let's try to be a little fairer and more<br />
lenient in the future- Yes, I kiuw this is not humouous. but ihiv i\<br />
my column, and if I want to make a point, implied or direct. 1 can.<br />
Well, i just die!. Now hack to the humor.<br />
At the Junior Prom, junior Av| * Laurence garrulously atked the<br />
audience that if an>body lilted him, the should meet him at the dou*<br />
after the dance. Unfortunately for Aviv, nobody \howcd up M.i>h»<br />
a more tactful approach would be better next >rar.<br />
Speaking of t!.c .'uninr Prom, who was the otic ci>uplc u Im didn't<br />
attend the post dance bull at the Hilton? <strong>The</strong>re were so many rc\cl<br />
seekers that :hc cMrataganza wai broken up by the ixuz. Hnwcvcr.<br />
as usual, there iv a bright side tu every \tory .. the party la\ted until<br />
5 a.m.<br />
Congratulations to Alex WCIPJ* and the other nift*-T*. uf »V Dr.<br />

"What can I write in ihe spon.s column'.'" lias heen the<br />
('"»•;.m of Ihc UIT!<br />
One ...mi .suggested .> article aboui 'lie Inic.st dealings<br />
with Wendell Tyler. I could talk about Tyler who is<br />
obviously just in the game for the money. Why else would<br />
Tyler leave a world champion team to go into a league<br />
that might not even survive?<br />
Another person suggested writing on a far less grrcdj<br />
person who never receives recognition for all his hard<br />
work. This person. Hill Tuiasosopo. coaches junior varsit.<br />
r--,KMI, assists with varsity footl- " helps with junior<br />
varsity and varsity wrestling, it a hall guard, and yet gets<br />
Minimal publicity. Tu'aso.sopo should be credited with a<br />
lot grcuc amount of recognition than he receives.<br />
Or, another possibility is the topic of school spirit and<br />
support to <strong>Lowell</strong>. <strong>The</strong> varsity baseball team is doing so<br />
well that the team is already assured a playoff berth, and<br />
the season is not even over. But, the only fans who come<br />
out arc the same .small handful that go to every game.<br />
Someone said to do a column talking about sports related<br />
injuries and how athletes tape and drug themselves up just<br />
to be able to compete. <strong>The</strong>ir injuries could further result<br />
in permanent damage because the proper treatment rest,<br />
was not used. Is it we h the risk of destruction for just<br />
a chance to live the thrill of the moment?<br />
An interesting topic could be wiittcn about the nicknames<br />
the <strong>Lowell</strong> varsity baseball players give each other. <strong>The</strong><br />
names include: Jim Archulcta as Pepc. Danny Brauri as<br />
Spunky. Paul Coleman as Lumpy. SMV Dytigi as Buufunt.<br />
Steve Folan as Radish, Jason Gallcgos as Pini.iin" Jay. Dan<br />
Harr! glon as Biscuit. Kevin Jordan as <strong>The</strong> (obscenity)<br />
Sophomore, Dave Kwong as King Kwong. Ernie Le.- as<br />
Rockin' E. Leo. Roger Lim as Radical Rog. John Mat<br />
suoka as <strong>The</strong> Hulk, Marvin Metoyer as Tree Frog. Jeff<br />
Murasc as Happy. J.mn Nakatani as Meatball, Toby Sicjsil<br />
as Slinky kichard Weeks as Sparky. Uric Worn; as <strong>The</strong><br />
Wonger. Coach Donohuc as Schnapps. Coach .V xaluso<br />
as Secret Squirrel, and Coach Miller as Chaw. But. ycj<br />
could not really write an entire article about that.<br />
So what can I wri'c a 375 word sports column about?<br />
I dor.'t know, but I just did. -II.II.<br />

Keep graduation sober<br />
Although we prcf :r to ignore this fact,<br />
ihcre is a nvmlcrcr. mong us who strike<br />
every day aJl acioss the United Slates.<br />
This murderer **ilK i4 tcejiagcrs and<br />
scriourly injures 60 teen.gen nationwide,<br />
every dy.<br />
Thi* murderer is the number one killer<br />
of teenager* today. In fact, he has even left<br />
his mark on <strong>Lowell</strong> High School, aiul will<br />
continue in ihc future unlcu w: do<br />
something to stop him.<br />
In 1973. Deborah Abrahams w-j> killed<br />
jp a drunk-driving automobile accident, li<br />
wa. her Senior Prom nich!. and unlike<br />
oth< r seniors' night*, ii was a night to<br />
ren ember. Her date had been drinking.<br />
a'.d the result was irrevocable.<br />
•\i teenagers, the group that causes 44<br />
pcK^nl of al! fat«l night-lime automobile<br />
crashes, each of us must assume a very<br />
solemn rctponsibilU/.<br />
Now, especially as t f r?.Jujiion draws<br />
c)n*er, this responsibility is even greater.<br />
As school pressures subside and seniors in<br />
particular begin to celebrate the end of the<br />
school year, the hazards of drunk driving<br />
also increase.<br />
This, responsibility is simple: if you<br />
drink, even one drink, don't drive. If a<br />
friend drinks, don't let him drive.<br />
Doubtless, these words have been said<br />
to you numerous times before, possilly to<br />
Ihc extent that ihcy have lint their impact.<br />
Yci, before your eyes gla/c over aM you<br />
move on to read "School Da/c." stop and<br />
think: it it really worth ihc risk to drive<br />
home alter orirking?<br />
How many time* have you heard someone<br />
say, "I can drive. I've only had a<br />
few drink*"?<br />
<strong>The</strong> tact is even one drink can unleash<br />
the murderer in you.<br />
Another important aspect of this responsihlity<br />
is shedding the belief in the myth<br />
mat "it's not going to happen to me." <strong>The</strong><br />
ctuitcci arc. it can happen to you. and if<br />
it doesn't happen lo you. it could he a close<br />
friend who is killed or seriously injured<br />
just because someone had "a few drinks."<br />
As principal A!an Fibish puts it, "I've<br />
personally seen few case* of '-Iranidriving<br />
deaths). b*Jl having *ccn few<br />
docsn'i mean I've seen few ciough."<br />
Fibish recalls an incident that took place<br />
a few years ago. A student hud been kill<br />
cd in a drunk-driving accident, und Uw next<br />
day. Fibish spotted a girt standing un the<br />
street where tier friend had been killed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> girl +-3\ curbing her triend. out of a<br />
ircmcrvliHit sense of anger and frustration.<br />
<strong>The</strong> point is, we arc not alone in this<br />
world. Our sctions affect many others. <strong>The</strong><br />
second you let someone into your car alter<br />
you've been drinking, you put ihcir l«fc in<br />
danger as welt as yours.<br />
We. the staff of <strong>The</strong> h>»flt implore<br />
each and every one of you to personally<br />
take on ihi* grave responsibility. If you<br />
know there is goin£ to lie dnnVing at a jurty.<br />
nuke it your priority to arrange<br />
transportation home tor you and your<br />
friends. This needless killing can be slopped.<br />
And the life you save by being conscious<br />
of ihis hazard could be your own.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Senior Prom:<br />
It's just one more night<br />
A certain event on May 25. i l >K5 fulfilled<br />
the wilder* dreams of a few I,nucllit-v<br />
Unfortunately, lhc*c luck) ones were in<br />
the minority.<br />
Thii event, of course, was the l'JS5<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> High School Senior 1"IWII - "One<br />
More Nighl."<br />
Beginning in January and ending tha (<br />
Saturday at 4 p.m., <strong>Lowell</strong> senior* scarchcl<br />
frantically for the "perfect** date. Of<br />
course, no one is perfect: most people<br />
would have settled for a "compatible"<br />
datr. Yet, many student* Vrpt their cxpectii*rts<br />
f >r perfection high even when time<br />
was turning short.<br />
How do we explain this phenomenon?<br />
Thcic ii simply too much hype surrounding<br />
the Senior Prom. This hype can be<br />
attributed to PPP — Peer Pram Ptcssurc.<br />
PPP sppcan all around scf:jol every April<br />
and May. Your neighbor in Physics slyly<br />
asks, "Do you have your date to the<br />

POLITICS<br />
Is the women's<br />
liberation movement<br />
really passeto<br />
By Evas F«U<br />
<strong>The</strong> word feminism seems to have a simple enough Jc fin it ion.<br />
Webster's New World Dictionary defines it ss "the theory 'iitt women<br />
should have, political, economic. ant, .TKUI rights -*r^l to those oi<br />
This wont, once used by women's rigfcs activists with such a sense<br />
of unity, pride, im! strength, has taken on a negative, almost subversive<br />
connotation over the past few yean, to the point that few of my<br />
friend* will own vp to being a feminist.<br />
I became painfully aware of this a"e»k» to yesteryear's "women'*<br />
lib** movement during a discussion of this topic with some female<br />
friends. From dese conversation* came remarks like. "Feminism is<br />
stupid" or "Women's Ub is piisc." Unfortunately, these seemingly<br />
insipid comments reflect an evergrowing mind-set of a post-activist<br />
generation.<br />
Why this repudiation and avcnichi to feminism? I think the most<br />
obvious reasoo U that to promote change, any movement, whether<br />
h be the anri-x-w. civil rights or women's liberation movement, must<br />
be Inherently radical to be effective.<br />
"Some figure (that) anyone who<br />
calls herself a feminist must also he a<br />
radical, raving, man-hating lesbian<br />
<strong>The</strong>refore, some figure; anyone who calU licrscif a. fcmi*••»! must<br />
aJso be a Mdical, raving, m. vhating lesbian, bent on dctfroyiiB every<br />
last remnant of tradrttopal. personal rciahonships, anil determined to<br />
undermine domestic tianqutltry.<br />
Obviously, this description is ridiculous end exaggerated, but my<br />
point is that this must be part of the image that comes to young<br />
v.orocii's minds when they think of feminism.<br />
To me. a feminist is « humanist, male or female, who believes in<br />
equal rights and opportunities for all % \ho arc oppressed. I wish ethers<br />
wculd try u> sec through an unfortunate stereotype that has tainted<br />
ihi true meaning of this humanistic word. Let's face it: .-tost of out<br />
"yuppie" generation has been prclty apathetic regarding participation<br />
cAd aw.«rcnc*s of civil rights struggles. Only recently have ami*<br />
apartheid demonstrations begun to spark u new wave of political<br />
interest.<br />
think another reason for this apathy towards the women's movement<br />
is ignorance. Hw many realize, for example, that it wu only<br />
a few years ago that a lawsuit fikd by the San Franchco Ctupter of<br />
the National Organization for Women en-led sex discrimin&tion in<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong>'s admission policy.'<br />
"To me, a feminist is a humanist,<br />
male or female, who believes in equal<br />
rights and opportunities for all who are<br />
oppressed..."<br />
T1il» policy was designed to admit an equal number of boys and<br />
girls. Because there was a greater number of qualified girl. than boys,<br />
the admission standards for girts became much higher tlian those for<br />
boys. Ai a result many qualified girls *»jre turned away from <strong>Lowell</strong>.<br />
Educational discrimination op the basis 01 sex was certainly not<br />
•imUed to San Francisco. Unlair admission policies and quotas ex*<br />
btcd in graduate schools across the country as well. In addition,<br />
numerous careers the* women now aspire to wet? inaccessible to<br />
corner. simply because women were not taken seriously.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se arc but a few of the accomplishments of the women's move*<br />
meat Out our generation takes f. T gruicd. As thinking, concerned<br />
and caring human beings we must look closely at our rcasom fot re*<br />
jins a movement thm has done so much 10 ensure our turppincss.<br />
and fcuccrsj.<br />
Today's young women mn%t keep a historical pcrsj «cb*c and realize<br />
Inat it was net so long ago that cur own mothers were denied many<br />
of the rights and opportunities we value so highly.<br />
With this in mind, we must re-definc the concept of feminism as<br />
it applies to our owa changing tteeds. And we trust realize that as<br />
long u there are people who feel that "feminism i% stupid." the battle<br />
is net yet over.<br />
"Today's young women must keep a<br />
historical perspective and realize that<br />
to is not so lon± ago that our own<br />
mothers were denied many of the rights<br />
and opportunities we value so highly<br />
Police clash with MOVE<br />
By Eric FsftlfT<br />
At 5:35 a.m. Philadelphia Police<br />
CJoef Gn*ore Sambor called thrtvgh<br />
a bullhorn to a two-story home at<br />
6221 Oiafc Avenue. He yelled uut<br />

Thus started the wont tragedy in<br />

Seniors await graduation<br />
By Stephen Abraroowlb<br />
•udToa>*.Vlue<br />
It's true: Seniorhis at <strong>Lowell</strong> will<br />
end on June 1.<br />
Why? On trot diy, nearly 7w<br />
members of the dais of 1985 will<br />
meet In N large audiirriura. wear<br />
cap* and (owns, and rece-'.c their<br />
diplomas.<br />
To many seniors, however,<br />
graduation means a lot more than<br />
just a ceremony. Some tec a symbolic<br />
meaning in the event. Andrea<br />
Jee relates graduation to "...doting<br />
all the old doers and exploring into<br />
new ones."<br />
Peter Marcoputoi alto calls<br />
graduation an entrance into the adult<br />
world, where, as he says, "You<br />
havr to expect the unexpected."<br />
Seniors reveal r wide range of<br />
emotions at Juce 17 approaches.<br />
For Henry Wotf, ihe ceremony<br />
"...is a time of depression...you<br />
compile your thought* ovc. the<br />
yean and think about alt the things<br />
you coutd have done differently."<br />
On the other hand. Peter<br />
Kurlander looks forward to th- occasion,<br />
which will mark the beginning<br />
of hi> independence. After<br />
graduating, KurUndcr wants'*...the<br />
opportunity to put norc time into<br />
career choices." 4^<br />
Cindy FOP envisions graduation ><br />
as a "bittcrfweet" event, but adds.<br />
"We all deserve it; we put a lot into<br />
tt ano now we're setting something<br />
back."<br />
Many students, including David<br />
Botkin. have mixed emotion* about<br />
graduating. Botkin. who will attend<br />
UC Berkeley, is "...happy to get<br />
away after four yean of hard<br />
work," but is also ud because<br />
many of his friends will leave to at*<br />
tend eastern colleges.<br />
MOM seniors questioned have<br />
noted thai they have a lot to took<br />
forward to in college. Calvin Lee,<br />
frrr cuippk. Li >ci> confolcnt «buul<br />
his. career in higher education.<br />
When asked if he is wared ot what<br />
liei before him at UC Berkeley, Lee<br />
replies "Naaah!" Uc feds he has<br />
"the power to control (hit) own<br />
destiny." but his top priorities in<br />
college a.e still "...(getting:) good<br />
grades, good money, and •» good<br />
girl friend."<br />
Foo'i main concern at UC Santa<br />
Crux b "...developing tmy) individuality,'-'<br />
although she alw<br />
recognize* the inootunce of<br />
"...suiting over" with her social<br />
life. She realizes thai it will tr hard<br />
10 keep up relationships *hh <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
Mudents and faculty when sh* cruen<br />
the "real world." outsid.' the<br />
"...lutle world at Unveil."<br />
Unlike Foo, Botkin puts great importance<br />
on establishing new friend)<br />
in college. He plans to have an<br />
"awesome locial life" and meet<br />
"...VERY good-locking girls."<br />
While others arc already concen-<br />
trating on their new lives in<br />
September. Jee is still thinking<br />
about June. She hopes the will<br />
"...feel norms!" when she<br />
graduates.<br />
Lee summarises the feelings of<br />
most <strong>Lowell</strong> wtuotj when he isyi.<br />
"I want to have alt the fun now<br />
while I still can."<br />
After all. on June 17, the Class of<br />
IVH5 will no longer be union; they<br />
will again be freshmen.<br />
Parents comment on end of high school<br />
By Carrie Nbhlraoto<br />
Po parents think fnuiulion Ujiui<br />
"r*omp and CircunuuiKtt?"<br />
Whether gradating magna cum<br />
lauje from some prestigious law<br />
schnol in 1983 or just squeaking by<br />
•n high school aomt thiny vein age.<br />
htudems still share with their<br />
cUssmales * instinctive experience<br />
OraJuaua, Aen, evokes various<br />
fcclinjs. if no; pandbtiul, in both<br />
parents and their children.<br />
When reqoestnd to describe these<br />
feelings, parents came up with<br />
••depressed." and "lonely." and on<br />
i more positive note, "relived."<br />
"ecJUtic," aful "proud." One<br />
mother cicUimed. "I felt so happy<br />
to rove managed to complete high<br />
Kloof, and yet. h was upsetting to<br />
ire that this (graduation) was really<br />
the end...after graduation. I no<br />
longer Ml the same way.<br />
This relative ambivalente OTBS to<br />
be characteristic of graduates.<br />
However, "coaftnion" is often a better<br />
description. One parent apress.<br />
ed,**! didn't kKr* whether iityemo-<br />
Uoot (at that tine) were genuine or<br />
those I ilw»ghl were cjpected of<br />
me.. .sometimes! thought If* I was<br />
the only gra£nde who didn't know<br />
her Iwure plum."<br />
Generally, though, this confusion<br />
clean up when their own children<br />
graduate. <strong>The</strong>n, thr .jtdcrabinl fed-<br />
~mg of die parents towards flirtation<br />
b mostly one of optimism, raging<br />
from ultimate exaltation to contra<br />
satisfaction. "I wasted my ion u enjoy<br />
Ms graduation mole than I did at<br />
my own." comment-d one father,<br />
"and a.'so reflect on what he had accomplished."<br />
Not surprisingly, spire patent*<br />
become reflective and scuimemal as<br />
high school graduation approaches,<br />
somelLnes as early as their child's<br />
freshman year. <strong>The</strong>y may constantly<br />
sith and »ay. "I car't believe my<br />
baby's graduating soon." rr<br />
something which seems equivalency<br />
degrading in Ihe opinion cf Ihe<br />
graduate-to-be. Ostensibly, these are<br />
the parents who plan tr gather as<br />
many graduation bids as possible so<br />
they can invite all the relatives to the<br />
commencement exercise.. While the<br />
graduate may not nectssarilv appreciite<br />
this gesture, at Iran there is<br />
coraolalion that his pareJls do care.<br />
Commencement<br />
<strong>The</strong>se parents want to vicariously<br />
enjoy their children's "commencemeat."<br />
Invariably, they may seem to<br />
be more energetic and enthusiastic<br />
than th: senior himself, who is not<br />
only exhausted from comrJeurg<br />
rcuntle- \ college applicauons but aljo<br />
has contracted a lerrib'e case of<br />
••seniority." Thus, while Ihe senior<br />
vegetates, hii partna are the ones<br />
win make Ihe preparaicm for Ihe btj<br />
event.<br />
In the other hand, some parents do<br />
rot experience tMuma with the ouet<br />
of > graduation, 'iiplalned ou<br />
parent. "I see graduation as a supping<br />
stonr to bigger and belle:<br />
dungs.. .mere's rsJy (little) rascn<br />
•o see it as a criminating point when<br />
theic's • futare ahead."<br />
Another parent reasoned, ..no<br />
matter if it's graduation from middle<br />
Khool. high scfconf, or college, it only<br />
seems more important than it actually<br />
b. (Such events) arc emphasucd<br />
more than daily accomplishments<br />
which happen to be just as imponani.<br />
Why do you think so many students<br />
are disappointed by graduation<br />
anyway?"<br />
One fnuhcr viewed graduation as<br />
a type 01 "imcrmiuior." She<br />
argued. "It's not as if you stop learniong<br />
after you graduate ..butwhen<br />
you're a senior you deserve lo relax<br />
and celebrate a little.<br />
Most of the parents concurred on<br />
one thing — that graduation is one of<br />
the unique events of one's life.<br />

b about 20 inches high, weighs about<br />
30 pounds. It has a motor about the<br />
size of a lawn mower and readies a<br />
ipcol of 35 mile* an hour.<br />
According to bill Dcgan, »hu rxk*<br />
and sells pocket bikes (on special<br />
order) in Plcaianton. "When you ride<br />
* (locket bike, you are so close to the<br />
ground that it feels like you are moving<br />
faster than 100 miles an hour."<br />
Despite the fact Out they can yo<br />
fairly fast, the sport or pocket bike<br />
riding has a food safety record. This<br />
could be due. in put. to the fact that<br />
they cannot be legally ridden on<br />
public streets.<br />
Racing at official tracks b carefully<br />
vjpcrvttcd. All pocket bike tracks are<br />
smooth and paved, and they do not<br />
contain obstacles such as jumps or<br />
hills.<br />
<strong>The</strong> riden frequently skim within<br />
inches of the ground making tight<br />
turns. Rules require that racers wear<br />
knee pads and other safety<br />
equipment.<br />
A helmet, elbow pads, and gloves<br />
protect the riders from injury. During<br />

"I was Interested in modellnji. so<br />
1 went ror it!" s»tcd sophomore<br />
Esther Lim. "Modding is something<br />
1 have always wanted to do."<br />
Lim is one of many students it<br />
Low ill who work* as a professional<br />
model.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re ax two main types of model'<br />
iirg that students do. One is print<br />
work which includes advertisements<br />
and cattlcgucs. <strong>The</strong> second is comn*rci»l<br />
work which Includes cjmco<br />
parts oo videm or in movies and<br />
televtsiua commercials. Most high<br />
Khool students are too short for runway<br />
modeling.<br />
Lim has Cone nxntly print work.<br />
She hi* been in ads for Man's and<br />
a Sacramemo wineiv anJ has anpeared<br />
in Sort Francisco htafozint.<br />
"1 WK. Ittcky." she itucd. "I got<br />
the job the first Cay that I joined the<br />
agency." She has been modeling for<br />
a year.<br />
Junior M*t anlnntck is another<br />
inodciwho has done print »or^. He<br />
has modelu! t'ur Macy's and Saks<br />

work in ihc lUy Area. L.A. u bot<br />
for cLmmercialv" He has done a<br />
Lot's commercial and a voice ad for<br />
the California Milk Advuory Board.<br />
Karpenko has been modeling tor<br />
three yean. Her c.-edits include a pu -<br />
u commercial for La Pizzeria Pizza.<br />
Despite her tucceu to date.<br />
Karpcoko docs w* want to model for<br />
• carevr. She explained. "I tec<br />
modeling «s a uepping stone to an te><br />
ting career. Modeling provides good<br />
publicity."<br />
Um hai a similar attitude. "I'm<br />
modeling because I like the experience.<br />
I do not plan to do this<br />
forever." she remarked.<br />
<strong>The</strong> student nwocls concur dm<br />
modeling has some dmrbacks.<br />
Um nrted. "U'» really hard to<br />
unite when yuu heve been working<br />
foe Tour fewrs straight, and ail you<br />
rc-lly want to ifcj is go home,"<br />
Shinnick stated. "Ihc hardat ptn<br />

For the photographer's tU.«,<br />

He continued, "Jobs arc really<br />
hud to get. This profession can j-rt<br />
very discouraging.'*<br />
<strong>The</strong> advantages to modeling are<br />
somewhat more obvious. Pay is certainly<br />
no drawback. Print work puyv<br />
around $100 an hour, anJ conuitcr*<br />
cut work b even more profitable.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> moevy is great," itatcd<br />
Karpenko. "he* 1 «a not in it just for<br />
that. To me. tnodcliug is a lot of<br />
fun."<br />
"It's not city, but I love doing a,"<br />
concluded Lim.<br />
"1 don't know «by 1 iV> n." com*<br />

He added. "Modeling is competitive<br />

"Everybody forgot it was supposed to be fun."<br />
remarked <strong>Lowell</strong> varsity baseball player Jim Archulela<br />
(•bout the championship game against Balboa.<br />
Sports are supposed to be played for enjoyment, but<br />
have instead jcvelopnt into serious games with a great<br />
deal of pressure.<br />
Obviously, the burden ••;" competition is tremendously<br />
heavy when players cry w!wn they win or lose.<br />
Fighting has become a major i-erul". of the intense emotions<br />
which develop during th; gan.es, rot only among<br />
the players, such as <strong>Lowell</strong>'s brawl with Lincoln earlier<br />
this baseball season, but even among 'he fans, who at<br />
times get involved to the po:.-.: where they pit themselves<br />
against the other team's fans as in the case of the baseball<br />
play-off game against McAteer.<br />
Pressure seems to be existant among all athletes no<br />
matter in what sport they participate.<br />
Should this pressure really exist?<br />
Aren't sports supposed to take people away from 'he<br />
burdens of everyday life like work and school?<br />
Players are pushed from all sides: parents, friends,<br />
coaches, and teachers. Thus, tney put even more pressure<br />
on themscl/es because of Ihe importance that has been<br />
placed on winning.<br />
Having fun is not as significant as how good the<br />
athletes are, how well they perform, or what the outcome<br />
of a contest is.<br />
It is sad that when a team lose:* a "big game" members<br />
have to do something else to release the tension caused by<br />
their defeat.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is another luminous factor in this problem: the<br />
media. Sports writers sometimes put down athletes. <strong>The</strong><br />
media has the ability to put immense pressure on even 'Jic<br />
everyday athlet: by the way they often times congratulate<br />
the winners and condemn the losers. A good example of<br />
.. .this is the opening of the ABC's Wide World of Sports<br />
;.wh.*ch stite: "<strong>The</strong> human drama of athletic competition.'<br />
the thrill of victory, end the agony of defeat."<br />
Should winnLig really mean that much?<br />
•D.ll.<br />
If baseba!' is still America's favorite pastime, can cocaine<br />
be fnr behind?<br />
Baseball, which was once synonymous with hot dogs<br />
and apple pie. is now the target of what scents like neverending<br />
drug scandals of one kind or another. Every time I<br />
pick up the sports page, there seems to be a story about<br />
some athlete entering an alcohol or drug rehabilitation<br />
center or being arrested for drunk driving or possession<br />
of drugs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> drug problems, of course, arc not unique to<br />
baseball or any other sport for that matter. Yes. drugs are<br />
a product arrJ problem 01" today's society. Athletes arc<br />
people, too, lijht? Tiicy'rc entitled to nuke mistakes bu<br />
are they above the law?<br />
Where docs one draw the lirx?<br />
Commissioner of Baseball Peter Ueberroth has drawn<br />
ihe line as far as professional baseball is concerned. Less<br />
than a month ago, Ueberroth revealed his plan for man<br />
datory drug testing in all levels of baseball from management<br />
to the players. <strong>The</strong> random testing (a urinalysis) ol<br />
players can only become a reality with the permission o<br />
the Major Lengtic Baseball Players Association, which<br />
seems doubtful at this point.<br />
<strong>The</strong> players' reactions to Ueberroth's proposal have<br />
been mixed. Some players stated they thought it waj<br />
about time something was done about "the problem," but<br />
the majority of Ihe players had negative reactions Why<br />
should basrball players be singled out for such<br />
humilia'ing testing? <strong>The</strong>y claimed that the drug problems<br />
were deeply rooted in so-ncty itself, not just sports. <strong>The</strong><br />
players spoke of the principles involved. It wouldn't be<br />
fair.<br />
Did they have something to hide?<br />
<strong>The</strong> bottom line is that athletes are not "normal" peo<br />
ple. Right or u-rong, whether they want to or not, athletes<br />
-are role models and heroes for children and adults alike<br />
.. We want OIK athletes, our heroes, to be "perfect."<br />
Any hint of drugs and the fragile illusions are shattered. II<br />
sports are ever going to bcrculy free of drugs, we the fan<br />
must be willing to face and ac xpt die fact that our heroes<br />
are not perfect. <strong>The</strong>y are onl/ human, aren't they?<br />

EDITORIALS,<br />
Garbage problem is not solved<br />
la the pat, awry student* and teachers have cciuplained<br />
ybut tJ« garbage problem in the halts, but U banning fox!<br />
fiocn the trukllnf the answer?<br />
l£U seraeixr, the administration's solution to the gar*<br />
bagc problen: wai to close room 2AC (the rcom used by<br />
organizations to sell food) if the halls h&d been dirty the<br />
day before. Since the Depanroent of Hcak'i ha* banned<br />
the selling cf food in that room for sanitary reasons, the<br />
admin Islrattrs hive had to use «i alternttc solution.<br />
<strong>The</strong> alternative they have chosen U to prohibit food<br />
anywhere in the building except in the cafeteria. If the<br />
student* do not want 10 cat in the cafeteria, they have u><br />
cm m ihecouityaid or on the grounds around the Kliool.<br />
This food bin wis made to try to eliminate the gaftxge<br />
In the fcalU becnue the problrm was very bad bst year.<br />
"Ttiey want us to eat outside,<br />
but all the garbage cans are inside^<br />
__<br />
By the end of lie day. there were piles of wrappers, bags,<br />
anri oilier unied pieces of litter on the floors thrcughoui<br />
the emir? xhool.<br />
* Many students protest eating ifl the cafeteria because<br />
it U "oracrowded and unclean." Principal Alan Fih-sh<br />
Cfacrd that the dinincst is caused by the neglect of students<br />
to pick l*p after themselves, much like the problem in the<br />
halii. Students also complain aboui the horrible smell, but<br />
Fibish said that 0\e Board of Health has no complaints<br />
about it.<br />
Thr other opjon students have is to eat ouuide the<br />
building. Since there is not much room »n the cwrryard.<br />
this forces students to go farther away from their <strong>class</strong>es<br />
to cat their lutrhes. such as the fuld near Sronestown.<br />
During die fitstww days of school, many fcCzde^tstifed<br />
to obey lie rule, but it became very inconvcment, so many<br />
people cow just ejt anywhere they pleas?.<br />
<strong>The</strong> majority of the faculty is not enforcing the rule,<br />
so student! are beginning to forget about it. to fact, many<br />
of the teachers eat their iunches in the building cnl allow<br />
food to be eaten ir. their <strong>class</strong>es.<br />
Fibish has a>tal the faculty to enferec the rule and to<br />
«ct a gon»i example by nol bringing food in the building,<br />
but only a handful have conformed. He hopes to gel more<br />
rapport in the future, but enforcing this rule might cause<br />
'some problems.<br />
Ow problem the Khool might encounter is the garage<br />
might accumulate on the grounds. As junior Howard Chen<br />
roled. "<strong>The</strong>y (the administrators) want us to eat outside,<br />
but a>l the garbage cam arc iniiile."<br />
<strong>The</strong> lack of garbage cens u another problem the school<br />
is facing. Many students do not want to bother carrying<br />
all their wrappers and containers with them, so they just<br />
leave them laying t">cnu the floor or put them inu* empty<br />
lockc;*.<br />
One major problem will be trying to enforce thr: rule<br />
v hen it starts getting cold and rainy. Ca i this rule be enforced<br />
when it rkint?<br />
Fib tin admhi be will have to bend the rile when it rains,<br />
but he would like the student* to en in the cafeteria or<br />
in the breezeway, tfic covered walkway lietwecn ih^ gym<br />
area and the outtidc beancry. when the vcaiher worsens.<br />
<strong>The</strong> breezeway is a nice place to cat, but net wht-n it<br />
rains. When the rains come, the tempcrabtrc usually tirop*<br />
to about the mid 50s and sometimes the breezeway lives<br />
up to its name by becoming very windy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cx.vpuon to the eating rule occurs only on bad<br />
weather day*. *o 9 Mudent is violating 11 school ntle if<br />
he or ihe is eating Li the building any other day. <strong>The</strong><br />
puRunmcnt so fnr for breaking the rult has been « lecture<br />
and a pusli outside 10 finish his or her lunch.<br />
Fibish does not expect to change the puiushmrm. He<br />
<strong>The</strong> Utopian high school<br />
h is the yru" 191,9, and the California State Lottery lias<br />
bcv.1 operating for three years.<br />
As provided in the lottery's duner, funds from the sale<br />
of lottery tickets have been pouring into die State budget<br />
for education. In just throe yean, the program has gencrated<br />
sufficient educational revenues to fund a program<br />
of monetary awards for outstanding teachers.<br />
Tctcben who denoostnste superior performance in the<br />
citssroooi can now earn up to 50 percent 01 their salary<br />
as boom compeouiioru <strong>The</strong>y c*a also receive special recogiuiiaa<br />
for unusual cmtivity or innovation in the presentation<br />
cf subject matter. Funds are also available; to<br />
encourage further education for die Stale's tescnen.<br />
Monies are now goto* into the enrkhmmt of educational<br />
programs for the disadvantaged. <strong>The</strong>se stude.tts arc<br />
able to receive pnvatc and small jroup tutorial ss&tnnce.<br />
Students who demafutrtte need can also order books of<br />
their choosing, free of charge, from t list mat includes<br />
over 1,000 volumes, many of which .ire written by the<br />
grea.es; names in the English .angu^x.<br />
Program* that arc designed to enrich Uie educational<br />
experience of oil student* nre also now in effect. For ex*<br />
ample, virtually every middle school and high ^chool in<br />
the state now ho* a full orchestra or tend. Instruments<br />
and instruction arc made available to k-.ixlcM* at no cost.<br />
<strong>The</strong> program will soon be cxtend-d •& the elementary<br />
school*. Similarly, an nutciiaU and irrxuefion arc a vital<br />
part of f he curricula in *chools through xit the Slate. Tiic<br />
larger schools arc aJw staffed and equipped now to do<br />
major thMtrical productions.<br />
Exchange teodicrs and guest lecturer t are brought into<br />
the schools from *I1 over the country and the world. Scholarship<br />
funds are now available for the advanced education<br />
of needy and deserving snufenls.<br />
State supported programs for awlung.: students arc now<br />
so abuirfaint thx virtually one out of ever y four high school<br />
auu.nts is spending up in a year in study abrOMl. libraries<br />
bsve been expanded in all of the Suite's schools, and laboratory<br />
equipment and facilities are rapidly moving toward<br />
stale-of-the ar. emu it ion.<br />
<strong>The</strong> expansion of the >cicnce prograir is already beginning<br />
to produce results ^» evidenced by the fact that<br />
California students now dominate natiotul science fair<br />
competitions at all levels. Finally, the ]ihy»icai plants of<br />
our state's school are receiving a majiw fjcclift.<br />
Does this sound like the dream or drlu&ional mutiertnps<br />
of a severely frustra'td cducoior or public school official?<br />
Perhaps.<br />
However, the California Lottery Piugram which is<br />
scheduled to have its first public olTcr.Cg in October of<br />
th*s year oiTcrs very real potential for the enhancement<br />
of public education in the slate of California. Asubstart*<br />
till ponioc of the revenues from ticket u Ics is ear-marked<br />
for the sutc'* schools.<br />
Let us hope that the availability of these funds docs indeed<br />
become a reality. And. let us al-o hope that our<br />
stale's chief educators use this new source of revenue in<br />
a way that has a direct and tangible imptct on the education<br />
of the California youth.<br />
believe that a little mere "yelling *nd screaming" will<br />
make the students .-bey the rule.<br />
Many feel the punnhment is not severe enough and the<br />
students will tale it loo lightly. <strong>The</strong> faculty members do<br />
not liavc enough free time now with the B/C schedule to<br />
scold lawbreaking studeru. so it seems cither the punishment<br />
!•«, 10 be more severe and make more of an impact<br />
on the itudenu or they will have to change methods again.<br />
Cth^r *chi tltc student's<br />
rcuucrl time to eat lunch this year. <strong>The</strong> amount of garbage<br />
anxind the arts wing has been commented on as beiflfc<br />
the same, if not r--orsc.<br />
f «ow, eftcr a month with this n-Ic in effect, the big question<br />
tfw administrators have to a\k themselves is if this<br />
rule b actually enforceable. If so, is it solving the garbngc<br />
problem?<br />
If there is a method that answers yes to both of these<br />
quest ir.-_,. it ttts not been tried yet, at least not at <strong>Lowell</strong>.<br />
Outlook for<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> mproves<br />
with Cornejo<br />
T>e past summer months have brought great change to<br />
the San Fttncisco Unified School Disi-icl (SFUSD). This<br />
ciunge has the potential to significantly improve <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
High School.<br />
<strong>The</strong> change was initiated by the forced resignation of<br />
Dr. Roiicrt Aliolo from the superuitcudcncy of the<br />
SFUSU. Aliolo is being replaced for ooc year by Carlo*<br />
Cornejo until a permanent sperimendem U appointed.<br />
Tensions had been escalating in the district for month».<br />
Private feud< between Board of Education members and<br />
the former superintendent rapidly evolved into public battles<br />
between board members.<br />
Finally on July 24. it was announced that Alioto had<br />
been fores) to resign, or face tn embarrassing contract<br />
terminatbn.<br />
Opposing Alioto were boaid members Ltbby<br />
Denebeim, Rrsario Anaya. JoAnnc Miller, and Board<br />
President Myra Kopf. Supporting the Ul-lated superinten-<br />
dent were Richard Ccrtulos, Benjamin Tom. and Sodonia<br />
Wilion.<br />
Alioto had been criliciad for not providing quality<br />
leadership as well ss dictating too much policy. In other<br />
words, Alioto was charged with im'riiving on the board<br />
of Education's domain.<br />
Cornejo fas ignored rumors that he is simply a thirdarm<br />
of Kopf. Yet such criticism lias y^ to be silenced.<br />
<strong>The</strong> change of supcrinlendcnlt could be positive for<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong>. Alioto was seen as not being particularly friendly<br />
to <strong>Lowell</strong> and not being especially responsive to the<br />
school's needs.<br />
If such assumptions are true, Lov^ll could benefit from<br />
the administrative change. It u tlic hope of <strong>The</strong> Lo*til<br />
that the new superintendent will be more responsive to<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong>'s problems.<br />
Comejo fhould view Lowrll for what it is. <strong>Lowell</strong> needs<br />
more staff in the form of teachers, janitors, and<br />
counselors. <strong>Lowell</strong> also needs more computed, a building<br />
expansion, and improved athletic facilities.<br />
Improvements now seem to be forthcoming. Three<br />
years ago. a plan was supported by Aliolo and the Board<br />
of Eduation to cipuid the <strong>Lowell</strong> Library. After yean<br />
of delay, funds have finally been approved this year to<br />
begin the much needed conjunction aM expansion.<br />
However, this is only one aspen ol much needed improvement.<br />
Conicjo must advance and propose new additions<br />
and programs for <strong>Lowell</strong>. What <strong>Lowell</strong> dors not<br />
need h an administration which ignores the special needs<br />
of the city's only academic high school.<br />
Comejo should fcpply the "ir it isn f t broken, don't Ta<br />
it" maxim to <strong>Lowell</strong>. We do not need fUci. btn rather<br />
improvements. After 130 yezrs it is obvious that <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
works and world very well.<br />
<strong>The</strong> school district has just experienced some major<br />
changes. If these changes do not result in improved education<br />
for students, they will have been for naught. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
is optimism that the changes will improve the schools.<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> raj been short-changed for years. Now is the Sme<br />
to start on the read I improved facilities, more study<br />
space, additional teachers, and more support in improvinj<br />
the isvructiooal program for nearly 3,000 collegebound<br />

Stop watering down our books!<br />
One hopes that every <strong>Lowell</strong>iic can read. Not only read,<br />
bin be able lo comprehend a leitbook written at his ow.»<br />
grade level. Thank goodness die California Board of<br />
Education has rciliied thai textbooks written for<br />
"readability" do not behoove the education of a student<br />
today..<br />
<strong>The</strong> Board recently rejected every science textbook<br />
written for seventh and eighth grades as being "watered<br />
down" and guilty of "systematically omitting" full<br />
discussions or evolution. Tut decision reverses a decadelong<br />
tread to reduce the reading level of books to make<br />
them prbtable for all students.<br />
Biology teacher James Knerl said," there wn pressure<br />
in tbj seventies to reduce the reading level. <strong>The</strong>y watered<br />
tens dewn. <strong>The</strong>re is a tremendous diflerence in the level<br />
of reading in the 1973 and i977 biology textbooks."<br />
For example, from the 1973 edition of Modem Biology.<br />
by Otto and Towle: "In gene mutation!, we find the basic<br />
source of tarUfioas and Ux material for evolution."<br />
From the 1977 edition, which <strong>Lowell</strong> students use in<br />
Biology 1 tixl 2: "<strong>The</strong> most common mutations are gene<br />
nutations. It is these gens mutations that vz the main<br />
cause of the changes fc«ofted in evolution."<br />
Students at <strong>Lowell</strong> preparing<br />
for rigorous advanced education<br />
need the challenge of well-written<br />
material.<br />
<strong>The</strong> simplicity of the 1577 book is a concern of Kncrl's.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> book is very encyclopedic — it takes away an excitement<br />
by including too much not essential detail."<br />
Some textbooks purchased Tor use in all San Francisco<br />
high schools end up at <strong>Lowell</strong> looking ridiculously staple.<br />
Anne Wallach, a former Lc*cll English teacher,<br />
sttted, "District selection cf books is very important.<br />
Ttere is a range of low and high level achievement in<br />
any dutrict," and particularly at <strong>Lowell</strong>, the books purchased<br />
need to be written for ths high end of the achievement<br />
spectrum.<br />
She called the recent decision "promising. If change<br />
tfOCS occur, then lilaf wilt !>• «n ln)|»o»«in»«nl.**<br />
Wallach came before the Hale board in 198013 "alert"<br />
it to the sixth grade reading level found in all the eighth<br />
v«Je grammar oooki being considered. It was "an<br />
English teacher's dismay." she said<br />
Teubook reading is only one part of a <strong>Lowell</strong> education.<br />
Although at one time, the SFUSD forbade the<br />
'./aching of Shakespeare's Vie UTduml of Venice on<br />
grounds that it was ami-Semilk, no book has been removed<br />
from the library or banned from teaching in many<br />
years.<br />
Books purchased need to be<br />
written for the high end of the<br />
achievement spectrum.<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> librarian Robert Campbell said there has been<br />
no removal of books from the <strong>Lowell</strong> library since he has<br />
been here. "<strong>The</strong> district does have a policy of rrvicw .<br />
.. and if n book is challenged, the complaint must be in<br />
Tiling." <strong>The</strong> book is then re-reyicwed and a decision<br />
made to lcrvc or remove it according to its literary value<br />
and appropriateness for the age level it serves.<br />
Wallach never received any complaints from parents<br />

he had to put ia t acienct lab and the<br />
SAB room was the only room available.<br />
<strong>The</strong> room was to be divided in<br />
twc. leaving the SAB a food portion<br />

that once it is set up. it won't be<br />

<strong>The</strong> Oencva Him talks, scheduled<br />

November summit between President<br />
Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader<br />
Mikhail Ctebachev have brought «•<br />
hope for a new amu control<br />
agreement.<br />
Tne most talked<br />
about issue in the<br />

reach an agreement with the Soviets.<br />
A recent near-perfect test of an<br />
anti-satellite weapon over the Pacific<br />
may also he an important topic of<br />
discussion ai the arms talks.<br />
All these factors signal the first<br />
hope of an agreement between the<br />
two superpowers since the Strategic<br />
Aims Reduction Talks (START) tailed<br />
in 19B4, while Koniuntin<br />

fact thai the Soviets have not<br />

In fid. the Soviets have allowed<br />
very liufe information aoout their inicrtkms<br />
at the talks to teach the<br />
public; most were rumors or am-<br />

who recently vlsllcd him as<br />
"scriiMis" aboctt the talks.<br />
should be able to reach some agree*<br />

Such an agreement could set a time .<br />

Trc latest statistics show that<br />
12,932 people htve contracted the<br />
disease and 6.491 of them have died.<br />
<strong>The</strong> disease has reached epidemic<br />
pnvcrtions and is the number one<br />
health issue of the decade.<br />
Currently, tho most disputed hsue<br />
of the AIDS cootro»my is whether<br />
to admit children with AIDS into the<br />
public school system. <strong>The</strong> most corn- -<br />
nion ways which children get AIDS<br />
is blood transfusions and from the<br />
mother while still a fetus.<br />
demand psrenul concern; ir you<br />
think your kids ore having sex and<br />
doing dni»s during clan, then yuu're<br />
right for taking ihan out." one junior<br />
answered.<br />
Another junior reacted dirTcrcntly.<br />
"... <strong>The</strong> people »no are spreading<br />
It sijuild be shot (homoseuals) ...<br />
Ifone came to <strong>Lowell</strong> (AIDS victim)<br />
I would stay as far away fmm him<br />
as possible."<br />
If a teenager •Hth AIDS were enrolled<br />
in <strong>Lowell</strong>, Principal Alan<br />
Fibuh would take careful measures.<br />
"I would esk the School District to<br />
appoint a pbysicisn to make Ihe juit;<br />
meat on whether Ihe child was a»null)<br />
contagious and whether there<br />
was • danger to other cudentt. On<br />
the basis of mat qualified opinion. I<br />
would accept or refuse lo accept the<br />
child."<br />
Although nj one. as of yet. has<br />
contracted the disease through saliva.<br />
sweat, or tears, minute samples of the<br />
AIDS virus have been found in the*:<br />
substances, but these fluids are considered<br />
to br Inw-mlc.<br />
"/ wouldn't mind being their friend,<br />
but I wouldn't want to touch them."<br />
On Tuodsj. Scptebme- 10, In<br />
Hew York, more thin 18,000 children<br />
were kept from attending the<br />
first day of school ry their panicstricken<br />
parents.<br />
"What you're seeing now in<br />
school, Witt kids not going to school.<br />
is hysteria." Dr. William Vitiello,<br />
San Francisco's AIDS Prcventta<br />
Program coordinator remarkc j.<br />
T< i panic was caused by the annoo<br />
Mircitf mad* by tcJwol official*<br />
ti»M a 7-ycar-otd second grader with<br />
AIDS would be attending tn anonymous<br />
school.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Queens School District in New<br />
York is taking precautionary measures<br />
to keep the child out c* school,<br />
and until a decision is made, the second<br />
grader will not be attending<br />
regular <strong>class</strong>es.<br />
Ooscr to home, la Carmcl. California,<br />
an 8-ycarold third grader was<br />
kept out of school because he has<br />
AIDS.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Camel Unified School District<br />
stated that the chill would remain<br />
at home v. ith s tutor for Ihe next<br />
two months.<br />
"We hope to raise the icvel of<br />
awareness in Ihe community about<br />
AIDS and avoid some of the hysteris<br />
like wc'»e seen in New York." Carmel<br />
Superintendent Robert lifclise<br />
was quoted us saying.<br />
San Francisco Unified School District's<br />
policy on whether to allow<br />
AIDS duldrer. in school is lo study<br />
each case individually.<br />
In San Francisco, five cans of children<br />
with AIDS have been reported,<br />
but no child has reached school age.<br />
At <strong>Lowell</strong>, students were asked<br />
what they tbought about having AIDS<br />
victims attending their school.<br />
One sophomore replied. "1<br />
wouldn't mind being their friend, but<br />
1 wouldn't want lo touch them."<br />
For the most pan. <strong>Lowell</strong> students<br />
were well informed en AIDS. "I<br />
think that kids should be allowed to<br />
attend school because no one I've<br />
heard of has ever caught it (AIDS)<br />
from anything but sot. Wood tramfu-<br />
JIOBS, or prenatal contact. I can unfjiil<br />
Health official* have declared ibat<br />
AIDS it definitely transmitted<br />
through the exchange of bodily fluid*.<br />
Among these ire included blood.<br />
Kmcn, and body wanes.<br />
Viikllo luted, "<strong>The</strong> AIDS virus<br />
U present in saliva, but MI are other<br />
organisnu. 1< doesn't mean you have<br />
that discaic, it jvnt means thai you've<br />
been exposed to it."<br />
"For every question that you raitc<br />

<strong>The</strong> greaur population is not at<br />

Although the situation is dire, a<br />
vaccine is predicted to appear on<br />
world market by the year 1986.<br />
When aikcd what the best advice<br />
about AIDS for the general public u.<br />
Vitiello responded, "You have to<br />
make sure you're doing something<br />
preventative. You have to have a plan<br />
in mind for yourself so at least you<br />
know ie'dc yourself that you're doing<br />
everything you can so you will<br />

observed last year fo'"ou-gtria*<br />
vtyiai columns' written by ftnrv on<br />
Some of the first written short stories<br />
were those of the Bary*.unians and<br />
the Canaanite* inscribed in cuneiform<br />
on clay during the second rnilknniuTn<br />
B.C. At the same time, short Egyptian<br />
narratives were beta* composed<br />
on papyrus.<br />
the Old Testament also bokh some<br />
of the oldest and most famous short<br />
stories In the world.<br />
<strong>The</strong> early Greeks added a new di*<br />
raulon to short story writing by<br />
nuking pfpiilir moralizing injure*<br />
stories, many of which were later col*<br />
lected as "Aesop's Fables." <strong>The</strong> c rly<br />
Greek rtrmanccs also frequently<br />
lock shape as a series of ebon tales.<br />
At the time ui the Middle Ages.<br />
there was an iacreatcd interest in iN;<br />
short story, tt (hen experienced a *cnv<br />
poruy decline in the seventeenth and<br />
eighteenth centuries became of the<br />
cniergeace of the novel.<br />
<strong>The</strong> popularity of the short narrative<br />
was regained in tfce nineteenth<br />
cenrary with the birth of the modem<br />
short stury.<br />
As 9 writing style, the short story<br />
b coroantly changing In addition to<br />
the many obvious stylistic differ*<br />
enccs. this b one of the major differ*<br />
enccs between poetry and the short<br />
story. Although there are many types<br />
of poetry, as a style of writing, poetry<br />
has many more iet way* than the<br />
short story.<br />
Also, where they are many different<br />
rype* of poetry such as the epic,<br />
limerick, nursery rhyme, and sonnet,<br />
there a e no specific <strong>class</strong>ifications of<br />
short stories.<br />
<strong>The</strong> people at <strong>Lowell</strong> who write<br />
poetry and thort uorin arc %cry dedicated<br />

Graffiti<br />
"It has unistic aspects but it can<br />
also be really a social way of cortv<br />
munica'ing," she continued.<br />
"Groupi that aren't being listened to.<br />
might tend to cxpreu ihcnuclvn that<br />
way."<br />
Ones Bojdanoff like graffiti? "It's<br />
very prctry." the admitted. "But it's<br />
not appropriate after I have worked<br />
>ery hard to g*t pointers here, after<br />
I've tried to clean and bcauttf) the<br />
school. I juil *iih we could channel<br />
it in a different way."<br />
What about the other side of tbc<br />
story? What about tbr graffiti crtists<br />
One active graffiti artist on earnpos<br />
informed <strong>The</strong> £*t*/U that he views<br />
graffiti as simply uttber form of artistic<br />
self-expression.<br />
"It's just a way for writers to express<br />
th-irouUool c-oiifc, wbcte k\<br />
not just words. Ur a form of art»-.<br />
well."<br />
"If you've got a good Inokitg<br />
piecr." the stuocot said, "it's<br />
something people look up tn. You can<br />
say. That's me, I did that,' and it's<br />
almost tike a sums synbol.*'<br />
Bogdanof f is looking for a w*y to<br />

<strong>The</strong> people who write poetry do so<br />
for far more f.*rona) reawns than<br />
those who write short stories.<br />
As Ktucr Vicki Sullivan toted.<br />
"My best poetry comes wit of really<br />
stfocig craotiooi. I led tfwt it helps<br />
me grt cry fceliogs out into the oocj<br />
aid herps me to o-ii w-*h the problem<br />

Many poets feel that their work b<br />
so personal 'Jut they do not waitf to<br />
rove it fttblishcd.<br />
"When I write paetry it b usually<br />
either for tm xlf or for one other person.<br />

"behind ibe wencs"; U baiely<br />
touched on what ROTC tcally U. Inktead.<br />

SurprisiL|tly few ROTC stuocnu<br />
were quoted.<br />
I am appalled that the aj.iclc told<br />
more abcut the alleged ratiai discrimtoatirc<br />
tnd thai it used many baibcd<br />
«od unrelated opinions from n-j^<br />
P.OTC memben. Of course, the oppoting<br />
side nun be heard, but U<br />
shouldn't jomtnate the article if it is<br />
to* the main subject.<br />
<strong>The</strong> article led readers to bctie-c<br />
that thr main pu^ose of ROTC is to<br />
prepare students fur the milory. Only<br />
a «noll percentage of ROTC cadet*<br />
actually do pursue a military career.<br />
<strong>The</strong> min purpose of ROTC u to<br />

I would like la clear up a quote of<br />
Dr. Fibiih from the ankle whkh<br />

IDAS, or the Indoor Dawdler<br />
Addictive Syndrome, h a condition<br />
which raises a person's dc<br />

Asians appear to be most<br />

their population have bczn diagnosed<br />
as IDAS victims.<br />
IDAS can br bacfkial because<br />
it serves as a deterrent to the<br />

courtyard<br />
By David Katzmkon<br />
When ihc smolcr from it.' buntt fooj<br />
from the cafeteria diuipatcs. an area or<br />
Ihc &=ltool is uncovered which many<br />
Lottdl students call "Home."<br />
This place is commonly knnwn as the<br />
Middle Counyard. deriving its name<br />
from its location at the center or<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong>'s cainpus. <strong>The</strong> Middle COJItyard<br />
is an area where students o( any<br />
grade may meet for lunch, to duruss<br />
political topics, or to cram for one of<br />
John Bluett's chemistry tests.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Middle Courtyard, like a<br />
township, is divided into certain areas:<br />
the freshman tax. the sophomore<br />
ledge, the junior benches.<br />
Tie KTiors, during yean past,<br />
represented a high percentage of the inhabiuus<br />
of the Middle Cov-Ty-ud.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir section of the courtyard was called<br />
the "jock hench" for in members,<br />
wno were well-known athletic personalities<br />
like Mike Zimmerman, Flic<br />
Bolhelo and Richard Weeks.<br />
Now the seniors arc virtually nonexistent<br />
in the courtyard's population.<br />
It is very rare that members from different<br />
<strong>class</strong>es intermingle during mod<<br />
12 through 16. which is the time when<br />
the Middle Courtyard it most<br />
populated.<br />
Certain freshmen, who wish to remain<br />
anonymous, claimed that, one<br />
day, a few junior* kicked them off of<br />
the junior bench.<br />
Junior Beth Hucy-Torney<br />
understands how tnt t<br />
<strong>class</strong> feel about fi<br />
bench. "I think the :<br />
they're new. don't<br />
area* which are defifl<br />

To wit: a disgruntled student can<br />

were clever, he could then easily<br />
modify hit suirmenl upon the<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Lowell</strong> Executive Council<br />
recently reaffirmed its suppurt for the<br />
stated purpose of student government.<br />
<strong>The</strong> student officials agreed<br />
that their primary responsibility b to<br />
"represent the student body at<br />

A second rift bctwr-n ofTiccn has<br />
broken over job performances to<br />

"Right now I believe boards have<br />
been representing personal views (of<br />

<strong>The</strong> primary responsibility of student<br />
government is "... to represent<br />
the student body at large,'' according<br />
to the <strong>Lowell</strong> Charter.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Chaner, tint written in 1967<br />
and lad revised in 1981, dictates that<br />
there arc to be four government<br />
boards. First, the <strong>Lowell</strong> Executive<br />
Council (LEC) b designed lo be the<br />
coordinating body of LowtU government.<br />
<strong>The</strong> LEC b compowi of its<br />
own members, such as treasurer and<br />
secretaries, as wdl as representative,<br />
fnxn the other boordk and the ctasxs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> LEC b the official voice for the<br />
student body.<br />

"I don't believe that," said Poulakidas.<br />
"<strong>The</strong>n read the Uianer." affirmed<br />
Koroig.<br />
Student government has weathered<br />
problems in the past. For example.<br />
elections have been plagued with low<br />
voter turnout. Another example took<br />
place four yean ago when one officer<br />
w» voted on four aefuate occasions<br />
caused by election rule violation*.<br />
Student government passed over<br />
these problems, but appears to face<br />
more serious challenges ahead.<br />

SPORTS-,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Extra Point<br />
U\ Marc Under<br />
Being Ihe ardent sports spectator thut I sin. leads me<br />
to nsk the following question. "What has happened to the<br />
Bay Area's profession.il sp-j.-ts !:ams? '<br />
It seems as if al! ±z fun has gone out of attending professional<br />
baseball, basketball .-ind football games around<br />
the Bay Area.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is minimal far. support for the two Bjr Area<br />
baseball teams, the Oakland A's and the San l-mmisco<br />
Giants, and for tlic Golden Sialc Warriors basketb. .1 team.<br />
<strong>The</strong> World Champion 4°crs have had -^cir share uf losing<br />
seasons, but havo been playing like a contending foothall<br />
team the last five years. This year though, it swrrn<br />
as if their hmds arc loo big for th'ir iwlxcts and it's<br />
scriouily affecting their play.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Giants have been plagued with trouMc since they<br />
moved Irom New York to San Francisco in 1958. Between<br />
ihe scncnl ma.iagcr'-= propensity for making b:u!<br />
tniJts and t)ie epic! and harsh elements of Candlestick<br />
Park, its no wonder the attendance has been steadily<br />
declining for years.<br />
This season the Giants managed to sink lower than ever<br />
before by losing 100 games. However, they wcun"; the<br />
worst team in all of baseball, they finished a promising<br />
24t)i out of 26.<br />
Added to their dismal season were the perp^jjl talks<br />
of selling the team and moving it out of San Francisco.<br />
I really don't sec how following the Giants or even just<br />
going to a game could bo fun anymore.<br />
So.nc people will argue that bnscball is boring to watcii<br />
ar;ywsv. That couid be where the Golden S. . '.Vji.iors<br />
basketball teem come in. Unfortunately, right iio.v. tli.it<br />
would only include three o r thc five starters.. That's right,<br />
the Warriors' top draft picx and highest scorer have not<br />
cotra: to terms on a contract yet. When fan and ".cam loyally<br />
gots out the door over money, so docs the fun.<br />
Well, just when 1 was about give up on Bay Area<br />
sports and head over to the- lihr.iry to do something cjuc.iiionat.<br />
my lather cam.* into my room ;iml 'viih a hint of<br />
hopcluh-cy; in his voice asked. "Son, how vould you like<br />
to go to .-. hockey game with your old dad?"<br />
Hockey! But it couldn't be true. <strong>The</strong> I'-.y Area hasn't<br />
•ad a hockey team since the Seals departed in I97ii. Su'.'<br />
must be dreaming, I thought.<br />
I wasn't drrsming. It was true. <strong>The</strong> Cow Pala.e was<br />
hosting two nights of n.o-seasi'n hotkey gjnn-s hriwcin<br />
ihe Washington CapiU'ls and & Minnesota Noitli Stars.<br />
Having only seen a feu garr.es on my cable television<br />
ports network and "Slapshot." a hockey movie starring<br />
Paul Newman, the sport v.as an entirely foreign experience<br />
r<br />
or me.<br />
My head -.vas throbbing with unanswered questions:<br />
'"Wh.il should i wear?", "How should I act?". "Who<br />
should) dicer for?" I brought ihcse questions •(> my father<br />
who enlightened me. "Do whatever you \ ant. We re.iusl<br />
going to have fun."<br />
Fun! That was the one elcm-nt I was missing in my<br />
sports viewing. Since it was i Wednesday night. 1 anticipated<br />
a si.L'ill crowd, consisting primarily o( men my<br />
father's age snd oldc who used to ncqucnt the Ei^il;<br />
games.<br />
I was ovenvheima!. yet pleasantly rurprised when I<br />
ibght .1 glimpse of thi- 8.000 plus e.xubcr-inl hockey<br />
lunatics Men, womc.i and children of all ages turned ou;<br />
for an action packed, fun-filled night of hockey.<br />
T.ie stereotype hockey Ian is usnalK cljJ in the jersey<br />
of li-s or her favorite team and a turgic:i!y •njpi.intcd<br />
megaphone in hi> cr h;r csop: ,gus.<br />
<strong>The</strong> game itself provic-n! more fun ind cvlicii'cm lhar.<br />
1 have experienced at any spoiling r.vent in quite a whi.'e<br />
<strong>The</strong> Capitals v;on the gan*c with the senn: ending up 3<br />
to 1. Thfrc was even a <strong>class</strong>ic hockey .s'ylc fijtht in the<br />
second period of play.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re were two phyefs locke-l IORCUIL. in a heap on<br />
the :« for nearly a inimtir, tugging and pulling ri rach<br />
othti. Both received i5 minutes in the pcnaltv no\.<br />
Witi't the enUuuiasm and fondness of ihe game I wi:r<br />
ed by the fans around mt. it is hard to un.!ciMar.«l cs:<br />
why cr how the Pay Ami lost £z Seals.<br />
Perhaps it's tiinc for Bay Area politicians JO step iv'aDoriag<br />
over new stadium plans and ci aidrr bringing back<br />
hockey. Until then. Bay Area hockey fans will either have<br />
.o travel down to Los Angeles snd watch a Kings' game<br />
ot itay tuned to their cable television sports ncn>oik. ^<br />

2,500-year-old Greek educational system stands firm<br />
Bjr Dean Puilalddk-<br />
Grcdj have long Ireaiurcd education as a (auage of HKIII<br />
iTKiility miut way to achieve nalioiul progrcu.<br />
<strong>The</strong> impcttince of a Tine education to the Qnc\ people dales<br />
back to 387 B.C.. when Plato, the brilliant Greek philosopher<br />
established the first known university. ThU university, whirh he<br />
named the Acaderny, continued to operalnl until 529 A.D.<br />
. <strong>The</strong> rooJrm rcvhal of education began in the 18th cenniry under<br />
inc Oaoman rule and played a vital role in ttimubtinp the dairc<br />
for asional independence. Alter independence the Mjlc adopted<br />
the principle of (ice. cornpubory. public education.<br />
Greek children begin their education at the ije of six with the<br />
first grade. After »i* yarn of elementary school, they move on<br />
lo secondary Khool. It i- divulcd iulo two succcsiivc three-year<br />
cycles, the gymnasium and the Lykiot<br />
Pirsx grade through the gymnasium (nine years) makes up<br />
Creccc'i compulsory education. If a student chooses to continue<br />
toLykion. he taut pas> a difficult, comprehensive te« by the<br />
government.<br />
Lykkm h my difficult. >t the end of each year, students take<br />
* very difficult final exam oil every subject nfcen dining the year.<br />
if tks scJent fa.1l M exam, he has the opportunity to take :t again<br />
at th= enj of summer (August). If he fails again. IK must rr'jkc<br />
the coarse.<br />
About two weeks after e»ms. a third year Lykion student takes<br />
another set of extremity difficult exams to enter a university.<br />
To prepare for Uicic exuni. which are crucial for university entrance<br />
third year Lykion stndem are tcjsrated into five branches,<br />
roor of these bruncha ha"e certain courses for various fields of<br />
. study. For example, the »xnd b; inch's courses include Physics.<br />
Chemistry. Biology, and Modem Creek. This is o hranch Uul<br />
students interested in medicine usually pursue. <strong>The</strong> fifth branch<br />
is for students who don't want to go on to a university.<br />
Each day a third year Lykion student not only has lo spend four<br />
hours of clan.lime in his branch, but also another two houi-s of<br />
<strong>class</strong> time taking general requirements.<br />
If is a combination of a student's branch test scores and grudes<br />
received through the Lykion yon Uut are the basis of a student's<br />
university acceptance. Before taking the branch exams, students<br />
fill out an application indicating their first through fifth choice of<br />
a university.<br />
Greece has several main uni.crsitics in Alhcn: Salonika Pairas<br />
loanmna. and Komiti. <strong>The</strong>re arc over r> duicn other universities!<br />
each specialuing in a »epjn-tc field.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are few private elementary schools and no private univci-<br />
Mties. It is only at the secondary level that pitvate institutions arc<br />
w'ldesrr^ad rd.<br />
Because of Greece's extremely difficult educational system<br />
private tutors arc almost a must for Greek children. Fortunately<br />
tutors are not very expensive in Greece, and most students arc tble<br />

No, ot course not. <strong>The</strong>se arc extreme assumptions, but<br />

ciio Hoard of Supervisor*. At otu<br />
of the Bay Area's most promineitt<br />

the police department in r^ch^ne<br />
vrimUfU in S*n Francisco "<br />
After • v=ry busy term in 1982.<br />
Nelder wu up for city wide reelection.<br />
Her support had obviously<br />
grown a great deal, bo-sose she<br />
received the most votes in the election<br />
a.4 became presided of the<br />
Board.<br />
One of *c many challenges Ndder<br />
took up early in her second term wu<br />
the problem of the flouridc content in<br />
San Francisco's w*er. Nelder suted.<br />
"It (fluoride) b highly loiic. and no<br />
X~A iui proven that it is safe for man<br />
to consume." FJ-rride wat Tint put<br />
into San Francisco WMCT in 1950 with<br />
the intention of ftghtiug tooth decay.<br />
When it was put into the water, there<br />
was no evidence of iu harms, but<br />
now i: hat been proven to be<br />
dangerous. One out uf every 200 people<br />
has an adverse affect to (louiidc.<br />
and cities with fluoride in lhc : r water<br />
have an auronomically high cancer<br />
N'eldcr says that she is not one ui<br />
criifcize without having rescind *<br />
itptc thoroughly and until she know*<br />
her view is correct. She uul. "I have<br />
a librvy on iluoriJc thai it vcor.-* to<br />
none, and 1 know f am ri^'K.*<br />
Although Nelder has provided the<br />
board with an enormous amount of<br />
;mx>f pointing to the danger of<br />
fluoride and even ih jugh nuny cor><br />
tries like Japan. Germany. Sweden<br />
and Canada and cities like CatifornV*<br />
own LJI Angela have taken<br />
iluoride out of their drinking wa\rt.<br />
San Franciico city official* continue<br />
to ignore the flw .it proMcai.<br />
"Our »a*cr is laced »ith a medication<br />
that we should have the choice<br />
of whether or not to consume."<br />
observed Nelder. Her strong belief in<br />
the matter is evident M she «-in allow<br />
t her family to the nothing but bottled<br />
water.<br />

Run Holdstein, president or Payday. <strong>The</strong> Payroll Company, affirmed.<br />
"I've seen people going into business, but they don'l understand<br />
the business, and they find out that it takes more money and time<br />
than when they first started out."<br />
Often tints, money is a strong reason for one's choosing to pursue<br />
a career in business. Tom chose to start his own business because<br />
he feii Out it was the "...most efficient way of making money."<br />
However, making money should not be the sde motive. Holdslein<br />
opened his business "...not to just make money, but to wo* for myself<br />
and work -*ith people I like — that motivation (uiiiing money) al jnc<br />
rrwy not carry you through."<br />
Holdstein added lha: in order fo* orie to go into business, one must<br />
have the ability to Mick it out until ox mates a t«ofit.<br />
According to Holdstein. starting any business is ''...risky...there's<br />
no guarantee of success." acd small business owners have it the<br />
hardest usually.<br />
Owrxr of Uptown Market. Heslum Mahmoud. works by himself,<br />
seven days a week and hardly has any time for himself— all so that<br />
he car make a small profit. Mihmoud list al the problems of his kind<br />
ol business as, "...bills — everything's going up...rents gone<br />
"It's one thing to have ten<br />
people working for you and then<br />
have ten people working under<br />
those people.''<br />
high...taxcs...and paying license fees. ' He's planning to tell his store<br />
next y-sr.<br />
For those who are witling to take the ri'k. Tom recommended,<br />
"One needs a good, basic business education (marketing, management,<br />
finance) as well as good psychology <strong>class</strong>es and sociology."<br />
Turn stressed that when in business, one is in a "...constant lemming<br />
IV L*t:U. Jmmry 17. iSttf. Pv "<br />
PROFILES<br />
process." "Success is a process of change. You have w become a<br />
different person. It's one thing to hare ten people working for you<br />
and then have ten people working under those people "<br />
Education is important. However, as a Harvard business graduate<br />
stated. "My degree wasn't a ticket to nirvana, but rather to a way<br />
of life that could be as difficult as it mi rewarding Hut came with<br />
demands as well as privileges."<br />
A career in business demands a lo* fran a person. Tom said. "Time<br />
management is different now." He uually doss not leave Ihs office<br />
until nine o'clock and still has to bring his wort: home with him.<br />
Tom added that one of the hardships of owning a business is<br />
"...keeping Irak of the busing*?. As it grows, it changes a lot." On<br />
Tom'j desk lies a plaque that reads, "I used to be disgusted, now<br />
1 get amused," a philosophy that he's learned lo live by.<br />
For Holdslein, "...the hard pait is to figure out what the market<br />
wants..-to know the marketplace, who you're serving and why."<br />
Having a role in Ihe world of finance is glamorous and is often<br />
looked upon as the epitome of success in America. <strong>The</strong> public knows<br />
tlie stereotypical bus-mspcrson — a mwi in a pin-striped, three-piece<br />
suit who drives a Mcrccdcs-Bcn/. or a woman sharply dressed in a<br />
business suit who drives a Jagotr. Or if the person is a chief executive,<br />
he or she has a chauffeur and a Rolls Roycc. Before one srts his mind<br />
on owning a business though, and having all the benefits that come<br />
along with being successful, he should remember that success does<br />
not come easy and LNa- success is not the Most common outrome.<br />

has the potential to become a truly<br />

mcM amateur prucrastinator yets immense<br />
enjoyment out or pranking.<br />
Hbtnoedly, the mo»( skilled procnttinaton<br />
have been persecuted and<br />
labelled as "lazy" or "lacking in<br />
motivation." People have repmied<br />
their procrastinatory desires in<br />
response to the severe pressure of<br />
their societies which brainwashed<br />
them into believing that procrastination<br />
was *n evil. Even in modern<br />
society, the prejudice against procnutinators<br />
often become* apparent.<br />

Throughout the week, you would<br />
spend many hours doing the task and<br />

However, ifvou start it on Thursday<br />
evening at nine o'clock, you invariably<br />
finish it in an hour or two.<br />
And during the week you have much<br />
free time to spend nlczsurahly.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se are torrv of the question!<br />
thai arc currently being ailed concerning<br />
the world s oldest profcuion.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Federal Bureau of Investigation<br />
cites a 20 percent increase in<br />
juvenile prostitution during the<br />
1970s. Of the estimated 1.2 million<br />
she had to fd away...<br />
<strong>The</strong>re rud been a boy she had iiked,<br />
JO she decided to run away with<br />
him. <strong>The</strong>y lived together for three<br />
months in a boarding hotne. <strong>The</strong><br />
landlady had a fancy for the boy and.<br />
obvicuity. the boy had similar feelings<br />
because one night Liu caught<br />
her hoy friend and the landlady in bed<br />
lojcther. Later on she admitted. "I<br />
loved that boy so much, but he broke<br />
my hcan."<br />
A few weeks Utcr she wit getting<br />
off a Greyhound bus in San Wran-<br />
Cisco. She haif decided to come here<br />
to nuke a better life for herself.<br />
A ull, pale man In a fur coat approached<br />
her. He told her thu he<br />
wotJd make her rich and bmotu. She<br />
giggled and followed him out of the<br />
bus station. Later she told a friend.<br />
"I'm savin' my mency. When I have<br />
enough. I'm goia*. I'll go somewhere<br />
I had to learn that having sex with<br />
a customer is something totally different<br />
from making love to someone you really<br />

New York. T b is just for now."<br />
All acrou the United States, this<br />
cycle has beca observed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> number of teenage prostitutes<br />
is escalating, and undemanding why<br />
kids are on the streets b almost as<br />
complex as figuring out how to get<br />
them off. It b very hard to tell kids<br />
who are earning $300 a night to go<br />
to Burger Kiuj and make S3.35 an<br />
hour.<br />
<strong>The</strong> main reason that teiiu^en<br />
prostitute Is for the money. <strong>The</strong><br />
reason for Deeding ibe money can<br />
range fmm a drug addkiton tn supporting<br />
a sick relative.<br />
But money U no longer the only<br />
factor. Some kids actually rave a<br />
misconception about prostitution.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y think of it as something that is<br />
fun and exciting.<br />
Regardless of why teenagers head<br />
for the street, there is a big diff.-renor<br />
between what they find there and<br />
what they expected to find.<br />
Many wind up u. hig cities, most<br />
notWy Hollywood.<br />

prostitutes' tertices) on the streets<br />

comment on the universe<br />
By Deborah Hull<br />
God, politic!, and tie "Fir Side." Ask any three<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> science and nssh teachen about their views and<br />
visions o'tbe universe and prepare for expert opinions<br />
on everything from evolution ind Jerry Falwcll (Edgar<br />
Lehman, biology), to nuclear war (David Roditti,<br />
math), to the California Academy of Sciences' exhibit<br />
of Gary Larson's cartoons (James Carnack, biology).<br />
<strong>The</strong>se, among many other subjects and surmises<br />
composed the responses of various <strong>Lowell</strong> science and<br />
truth teachers in a reran interview asking for their personal<br />
vir»» and vision* of the universe.<br />
Answers from the teachers ranged from the serious<br />
and theorctieU to the ridiculous and burlesque.<br />
Biology teacher Mark Mcoheim initially assured the<br />
reporter, "We're all germs inside some giant<br />
organism...when the organism lakes antibiotics we'll<br />
all ciplodc and die." He then went on to inquire, "Can<br />
I nice thai ail back?"<br />
Mosheim wu not entirely sure, however. k> to<br />
whether or not the universe is shrinking or expanding.<br />
"II depends on whether (he orginiini is maturing or<br />
dying," he declared.<br />
His quandary wms quickly solved by main teacher<br />
Lawrence Robinson, on "expending universe guy."<br />
"Some thick it's not expanding; I say it is," he<br />
confided.<br />
Of course, when discussing something u mysterious<br />
as the unWerse, cue expects a variety of opinions, many<br />
of which are bound to be contiadiciory. Biology<br />
teacher James Kneri believes, "<strong>The</strong> universe is tern*<br />
on. Umryoae focsbt with water pras, the world<br />
ld b<br />
porary and is changing all the time," "vhercas Marian<br />
Gorualcs, physiology maintains. "All that u has<br />
always been, and always wiU be." (Take heed, all<br />
physiology icholars, for Gonzalez continued, "Ifthc><br />
can understand that, they can pus my <strong>class</strong>.")<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was no disagreement on the subject of tne<br />
universe's VSM. uncharted, and prodigious size, and<br />
man's insignificance in relationship to it.<br />
"It's an awfully big place." stated AP/Biology<br />
teicher William Stevens. Chemistry teacher Patricia<br />
Cancpa declared, "Mnn is so insignificant, yet he<br />
thinks he's so bloody important." She also believes.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> basts of the universe is matter, and if we understand<br />
how mattr behaves, we can envision the universe<br />
as one great big quantity of letter interacting."<br />
While most teachers were vevy obliging in answer*<br />
ing the question, others had i,** specific opinions<br />
whatsoever.<br />
"I don't think you want to talk to me; I just look<br />
out the window and think it's pretty, that's the limit<br />
of it," confessed Carl KocnJg, computer programming<br />
teacher.<br />
Dcfore closing, one must raise the question of the<br />
actual existence and validity of the universe. Physics<br />
teacher Ronald Wcnj joked. "It's all an illusion —<br />
it doesn't exist — it's a plaything of the mind."<br />
When all was said and done everybody agreed that<br />
thr universe is a very great and awesome pUcc.<br />

In addition, the existentialist questions atouacUons, »uch as love, or<br />

Students deserve<br />
responsibility<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong>, like all high %ch :*»!*, has as its purpose<br />
educ*tinsstudcni«anJ preparing them for the tutu re. An<br />
important part of thai education and preparation t* teaming<br />
to handle rcsponribility.<br />
Extra-curricular activities afford students an opportunity<br />
to exercise responsibility and learn in the process. F.v<br />
amptes of 'Atch activities include Radio <strong>Lowell</strong>. Stepc<br />
Crew, Student Govcnidieni. and 77tr tsmrll. Certainly,<br />
the students who elect to participate in these nciiviuc* have<br />
certain cbligations and rcspottsibilitics tn the sch;x>! and<br />
thtir fellow s'udents.<br />
However, the staff of Ths tmvelt feels that as long a*<br />
participating Muoc.a* t jcognuc iKcir which they tonight w;nild elicit the best<br />
response from the student body. IT*: faulty member*,<br />
should not inutferc so :hc students can learn to dc.il with<br />
the responsibility by them*c!vev<br />
<strong>The</strong> fjet is that the nujorny of ihc student- at <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
arc responsible enough to perform the tasks involved in<br />
any of the school's jxira-cjirkular activities. <strong>The</strong>re i\<br />

<strong>The</strong> dance *-as held tn the gym. and bingo wai held<br />

EDITORIALS.<br />
Subbotnik<br />
revisited<br />
Recently, the United Press Irtenutional Syndicate<br />
repotted that million* of Russian citizens took to the streets<br />
10 clean up their cities as pan of o nationwide Subbotnik<br />
or "Red Saturday," a day of unpaid labor given to the<br />
stale in honor of Lenin's birthday.<br />
We at <strong>Lowell</strong> wrcly do not have to honor Lenin's birth,<br />
but the idea of a clean-up day has merit. It is lime for<br />
someone to assume some leadership. <strong>Lowell</strong> is a disgrace!<br />
<strong>The</strong> LOWELL has published many editorials anJ articles<br />
dealing with the ptoblem of cleanliness around the campus.<br />
Writers have often alluded 1 to the school's "di"*encrusted<br />
windows" and "littered railways*' and 10 "the<br />
graffti strewn all over the walls."<br />
We at <strong>Lowell</strong> surely do not<br />
have to honor Lenin *s birth, but<br />
the idea of a clean-up day has<br />
merit.<br />
People often complain about ilicse problems, but no one<br />
ever offers any suggestions for rtmcdi itiun. <strong>The</strong> stafT of<br />
<strong>The</strong> LOWELL bclV.vcs it is tirr ; to lake some action.<br />
We would like to oifcr a suggvjtinn or idea that might<br />
help 10 end the problem. Why not set aside a day each<br />
year, or better yet eve-y semester, to give the school a<br />
thorough cleaning?<br />
On "clean-up day," floors would i«v *.-bocd and waxed;<br />
walls would be washed down with detergent; windows<br />

Insure educational progression<br />
Many students a«xl teacher* hated Groyaphy. .so it was<br />
dropped aid a courv: in World Civilization* *va* created.<br />
This is an example of j curriculum change spurred by<br />
the people the c\s%% affected. It is only right fcr Mudcnt*<br />
and icj_i,,.r\ to have a direct .wy in curriculum mattrr*.<br />
LowcM's curriculum is reviewed every seven yew* in<br />
accordance with accreditation standards. However. such<br />
curricnlutn revtrw i> general. <strong>The</strong>re is no in w:hcolfornul<br />
review of specific <strong>class</strong> curriculum.<br />
This is j flagrant mistake in the educational res icw program<br />
in the school district.<br />
<strong>The</strong> San Fn*nci>eo and State of California boards A(<br />
Education determine educational goals for schools a\ well<br />
is specific ecucjtional requirements. In adJitinn. there<br />
arc textbook review commitico and academic review<br />
comrumec* on both the local and Mate level.<br />
But there is no formal curriculum review at <strong>Lowell</strong>.<br />
Specific teacher* can review CIAVN content with their<br />
department members, but there is no formal administrative,<br />
faculty, or student critique of curriculum.<br />
77H* Ltiwttf believes that Curriculi-m Review Commit-<br />
•ccs should be established for cvc»y claiv Such cummi .tec*<br />
would provide, ai m» cmt, an easy and effective mat c<br />
ner 'o review a clasps and its content.<br />
A teacher and one of the pupiU could review the content<br />
of that particular <strong>class</strong>. <strong>The</strong>ir separate and confidential<br />
reports could be submitted lo the department head.<br />
He, in tum. would review the report* and either implement<br />
the suggestions or forward the reports to the assistant<br />
principal for curriculum and instruction. Suggestions<br />
could be implemented at this level, or submitted for further<br />
review by the school district.<br />
<strong>The</strong> actaiiustration should devise a questionnaire which<br />
investigates the ove^ll content subject das-es. This form<br />
could ruve short answer questions about subject matter.<br />
textbooks, and method of instruction.<br />
Students could analyze if the subject nvner is appropriate,<br />
challenging, interesting, ami useful if: the<br />
f. JTC. Students could examine textbooks for adequate information,<br />
beneficial example*, and intercsi-level.<br />
Thr questionnaire could also provide students with the<br />
opp»>i lunity to conMructivcly criticize the teacher'* method<br />
of infraction. <strong>The</strong> Icsel of icMing, faimeu^t v^^fS*<br />
use of visual jid« and ime rot in vihjcci prescntawn<br />
qrjld all be evaluated.<br />
4< 77?e level of testing, fairness<br />
of grading, use of visual aids,<br />
and interest in subject presentation<br />
could all be justly investigated.''<br />
Faculty members should also have the opportunity to<br />
comment oti tnc content of their ck_~:. Whether the subject<br />
ruttcr is adequate and challenging to students,<br />
whether textbooks are interesting and informative, and<br />
whether the prescribed curriculum is appropriate fo. current<br />
students deserve faculty input.<br />
Nobody knows better than students and lacnen how<br />
curriculum is preparing snidenu for the future. <strong>The</strong> adoption<br />
of such a formal Curriculum Review Committee<br />
would insure that at <strong>Lowell</strong>, education will continually<br />
be progressing, nthcr than staying at a particular level.<br />

Fighting terror<br />
with terror -<br />
will it ever stop?<br />
By Ann Liu<br />
Only lime will tell if the American bombing of Libya will actually<br />
help stop terrorism. For now, the majority of Amc.icarn<br />
support President Ronald Reagan's decision. Yet, in the future,<br />
will the effect of this attack do more haim than good?<br />
Many leaders ofFuropeancounit>supicu fears that Khadafy<br />
will seek vengeance for the air strikes MI t£yu. nircau;, two<br />
weeks ago, two kidnapped Briions and one kidnapped American<br />
were found dead in the outskirts of Beirut.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ymup claiming responsibility for the slaying* of the two<br />
Briions. Leigh Douglas and Philip Padfictd. atid American, Peter<br />
Kilbom of Berkeley, California, calls itself the Arab Revolutionary<br />
Cells, a group believed lo be linked to Abu Nidal.<br />
"...the existence of terrorist<br />
groups within the United States is still<br />
uncertain."<br />
After trying; economic sanctions and public condemnation,<br />
Reagan .noved lo bomb Libya, and in doing so, showed Libya lhat<br />
America will not tolerate terrorism.<br />
Reagzn's retaliation can be amsidrrcd justifiable, for now: but<br />
maybe Reagan failed to realize what might result fr< m the attack.<br />
Perhaps be was so infuriated because of the continued terrorism<br />
thzt he did not consider the fact that many innocent lives will continue<br />
to be laa.<br />
<strong>The</strong> only apparent reason for attacking Libya was revenge for<br />
the bombing of the LaBelle discotheque, a disco frequented by<br />
American GU. Hob>a. Tbc*< w*cr. arc considered<br />
international, and they had '•.very<br />
right to be in lh»e water*.<br />
This aiucl was to warn Khadafy<br />
of the practice of the U.S. Sixih<br />
Fleet iJid to admonish his support of<br />
terrorist activities.<br />
Khadafy wemed untaunted: the<br />
hwnhtng of tiie La Belle Diwothcquc<br />

injure.!. Once again, evidence pointed<br />
•j> 1 ibyant u perpetrator* of the act.<br />
East Germany had appeared to let<br />
the Ubyan plotters, who were<br />
ordered to bomb an undisclosed<br />
target by the Libyan People's<br />
Bureau, into West Berlin; western<br />
intelligence had known about the<br />
"plan" H»t had acted "15 rpiiKjio<br />
too late ' to save the discotheque.<br />
Even wftile the Berlin cue was being<br />
investigated, other Libyan terrorin<br />

President Reagan conferred with<br />

<strong>The</strong>re was a delay between the decilion<br />

the atuck it*clf in order to plan Uic<br />

and «ck Allied support.<br />
President Reagan had hoped that,<br />
in the case of toughrr economic and<br />
politics! sanx.kxn agreed upon by the<br />
Allies, the attack might have been<br />
called off. It was not.<br />

suspected terrorist training camps,<br />
miliury installations, ard the El-<br />
Azziziya Barracks, the compound<br />

<strong>The</strong> strike had been carried out by<br />
planes from the carriers in the<br />
Mediterranean and from airbasrt in<br />
Erf land. <strong>The</strong> FB-t IU from England<br />
had to fly an ewra 2800 nautical miles<br />
around France and Spain because<br />
those countries would not allow the<br />
use of their airspace for the strike.<br />

allowing British atrbaves to be stag*<br />

who herself stated in January Uur a<br />

cause more chaos, defended the<br />
American action as one o( "self-<br />
strike showed an astoauhuis 77 percent<br />
approval rate, compared with a<br />
previous high of 56 percent.<br />
Many critics of the atuck have<br />
pointed out :hat such an attack would<br />
not change Khadafy*s policies;<br />
rather. •* would further his cause in<br />
uniting the Arabs, which is wttal is<br />
hspoening — the Arab nations have<br />
protested th-r Urrtod State* attack on<br />
Libya.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is also a question of why<br />
Libya was choten as the target when<br />
countries such «s Syria and Iran arc<br />
also training and supporting<br />
terrorists.<br />
It U obvious that one such suike<br />
will not eliminate terrorism, and the<br />
Reagaa Administration u now faced<br />
with retaliating yftcr every act of terrorism<br />
or not acting by force vjizz:<br />
a tcrrorisi supporting nation.<br />
Representative Robert Mkhd of Illinois<br />
characterized the present situation<br />
in the following way:<br />
"We are in a war. It b a new kind<br />
of war. It is a termott wir. We are<br />
going over the thrcshhold; we arc<br />
ploughing new ground, and we have<br />

It appears that the tonfliu between<br />

<strong>Lowell</strong>'s newest student government<br />
boards, was founded.<br />
Before that time, student pntrnmen!<br />
gave little notice lo the wide<br />
variety of clubs on campus.<br />
<strong>The</strong> main function of the BSCS is<br />
to oryinue clubs and coordinate activities<br />
thai deal with helping the cemmuttity<br />
and the school.<br />
<strong>The</strong> board it made up of representatives<br />
from the many dubs, honor<br />
societies, and service group*.<br />
Clubs are steadily getting Utunper<br />
in doing service project*. In the pa*t<br />
they have provtikd services from<br />
painting flagpoles to volunteering in<br />

•<strong>The</strong> clubs have done well in<br />
aiding the school. Ncit year we will<br />

What's behind that<br />
graduation ceremony?<br />
-'.•y.'..<br />
By Benjamin Let<br />
hoon all Ih<br />
"<strong>The</strong> op has < flat lop to honor all the lima we bubui our<br />
agaiiut the dooii of Ivy League schools with no results."<br />
Is that how we got ihe cap and gown?<br />
Freshmen might Kill willow Lee's story even nfter almost two<br />
semettei here, bul xnion wilh (bur years of struggle tucked undet<br />
their bcltt do wonder about the true oripiu of their graduation<br />
coc**mwcs<br />
<strong>The</strong>y might not realize it, but Ihe earliest predoxssor of Ihe high<br />
school graduate was the Catholic monk of the Dink Ages. Church<br />
official* were ihe only literate people of Ami era.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Catholic Church established monasteries to train would-be<br />
priests. <strong>The</strong> priests who ought at these early schools wore heavy,<br />
dark gowns frfWf* the school buildings in which they worked and<br />
lived were very cold. <strong>The</strong> gown became the clergy's traditional<br />
wear, with varying degrees of color and elaboration to denote rank<br />
in the Church hierarchy.<br />
Universities which evolved from the monast.-ries of the Middle<br />
Ages adopted Ihe gown as Ihtir graduation costume. <strong>The</strong> cap was<br />
also pan of the costume, for it too came fiwn the monastery of<br />
the Middle Ages.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tradition of the cap and gown quickly I $\ A •>all Ihe universities.<br />
And, of course, it was adopted by hi;" .-..•...Is, which put<br />
their school colors on the gown. Thus we iuv.. iv- red gown for<br />
graduation ceremony.<br />
Traditionally, the gowns were nude of silk or wool. At <strong>Lowell</strong>,<br />
however S6 disposable gowns arc now used.<br />
Tile tassel originated from the same lime |icriod as the cap and<br />
gown. It was attached to the drawstrings of tht: op worn by priests.<br />
<strong>The</strong> more lasMls a prit*! had. Ihe higher lie was ranked in Ihe<br />
Church.<br />
Today the usscl is kept for its symbolic value. <strong>The</strong> "tasstl turning"<br />
(when the entire graduating <strong>class</strong> switches the tassel from one<br />
side of the cap to the other) symbolizes a tncsition to a higher level<br />
of education.<br />
Not everything is strictly traditional •*! Lcucll. Conventions arc<br />
sometimes broken for necessity.<br />
Graduation speeches, for example, were usually presented by top<br />
stvdents of Ihe <strong>class</strong>. However, this would nave mcanl dozens of<br />
speakers, all wilh 4JO GfVs, at a <strong>Lowell</strong> graduation. Instead.<br />
Lowcllitcs wishing hi speak must pass an audition to be selected.<br />
Another innovation is having the registry teacher coll out names<br />
and hand out dipiomu. <strong>The</strong>oretically, in this way one's name won't<br />
be mispronounced.<br />
Diploma in hand, one shakes hands with [he principal. Dr. Alan<br />
Fibish. <strong>The</strong> handshake a thr formal congratulations offered for having<br />
completed high schcol education. You may now call <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
High School your alma mater.<br />
Wow you can either throw away your So graduation gown or keep<br />
it to show your grandchildren.<br />

'Bow can you avoid spending your freshmsa year in<br />
g£ dtrk-jeduded corner of the library? Read on fellow<br />
• md on. . '- - •<br />
V<br />
it is not that difficult to nuke a good first impression<br />
ir you can keep five simple rules in mind.<br />
1. Befotc entering a mom occupied by sophomores,<br />
juniors and (especially) seniors, check your hair,<br />
breath, and. for females, your eyeliner «o as not to be<br />
confused with a raccoon. Also be sure that all articles<br />
of clothing are securely fastened to avoiJ the public<br />
dUp'ay of any undergarments and to protect against<br />
uncomfortable breezes.<br />
2. Upon entering a room, smile pleasantly and avoid<br />
any objects you might trip over (or which might be<br />
thrown at you). V JU should always have on hand three<br />
conversation sinner*.<br />
Examples: A. "How about them Bears?" (replace<br />
school team) B. "Was that a tough, History/<br />
Ca'culus/Frcnch test today or what7" C, "What do<br />
you think is really in the Monday night chefs surprise?"<br />
3. Avoid being overly enthusiastic or excited.<br />
Example. "Hi, everyone! My name Is Patty! I'm<br />
soooooo excited to be here. (Checrleading jump into<br />
splits and scream.) When arc cheerleading tryouts?<br />
(Shake pempotra.) Whcn's rush week? (Giggle,<br />
squeal, shiick.)"<br />
Solution: "Good ihftemoon. (deep breath of air)<br />
I'm Felicia. Could you instruct me in my search for<br />
the women's powder room. (Long sensuous drag of<br />
Virginia Slim.) Thank you everso."<br />
4. Never, under an? circumstances ask an uppcr<strong>class</strong>man:<br />
A. "Where U the bathroom?"<br />
B. "Could you possibly set me up with your boyfriend/<br />
girlfriend?" C. "Don't you think Leif Garret/Melissa<br />
Gilbert is just the grooviest?"<br />
5. Upon exiting i room, keep smiling, keep shin*<br />
ing, and remember, if you have made an absolute fool<br />
of yourself, you can always apply cbewhere ncxl year.<br />
So don't despair, your freshman year need not be<br />
spent in the confines of the campus litwy. And who<br />
knows, you mig* even fool people into A Wang you're<br />

to have plenty of spore time lo get employed and get<br />
rich, but it never scents to work out quite thai **y.<br />
Senior portraits — whai w great idea! <strong>The</strong> clever person<br />
who thought this idea up b one rich guy right now.<br />
Let's buy ONE 'hid, take pictures of a lot of people<br />

yourself is i cool thing to do before ) ou graduate, and<br />
charge big bucbL for them.<br />
<strong>The</strong> smullest Yearbook Associate* picture package<br />
costs around 550. that's half of a hundred dolUis worth<br />
of pictures of YOU (and you don't even get a com*<br />
plcmentary little Mack comb). And that package gives<br />
you nine wallet size pictures. Who has only nine<br />
friends?<br />
T!tc extra wallets are a steal at SS each (this price<br />
i» wii!wut the infamous Florentine Finish which makes<br />
the pictures just blurry enough so that you cannot; see<br />
the sUn blemishes). One nay also purchase a 16x20<br />
vail-size portrait for the low price of $79.95 (or. for<br />
the same price, you may have a professional tnist<br />

Senior Panoramic Picture fiives an opportunity to<br />
fork over S10 for a big picture of a bunch of procle,<br />
most of whom you don't even know. But hey. one of<br />
thine smiling: people (the one with his cjc. closed?)<br />
it you.<br />
How about JOSTENS? Aren't rmmonolics outlaw*<br />
ctl in this country? Didn't large ituncMiKtc rings go out<br />
of Mylc Mmitwh-sre around filth grade? Aren't high<br />
school senion offended at the catalog of precious gifts<br />
which this company tries to entice them with?<br />
How about that Miniature Diploma? Boy. wouldn't<br />
tlv.t Ionic nice on a college Jorm wall fur only 53.50?<br />
<strong>The</strong>e is Mime brilliant fcrwn. working for JoMcn*<br />
who figured out a way to nakc senior* mink that git •<br />
ing out small *vhitc buVincjA cards lo all of their friends<br />
Ls a neat thing to dt>. Think about it. So ynu have a<br />
collection of 75 card* witli your friends* names primal<br />
on the fiont: what are VOJ going to do with them? Oh,<br />
that's right, their addrrstes, phone numbers, and c^l*<br />
!egcs are printed on the back. If you didn't know this<br />
information in die fim pbec, why do you need it now?<br />
But JostcnN best tricl ts the way they rutndlc the cap<br />
and gown purchases. Seniors order them without<br />
knowing the price. It w 11 be announced at a later date.<br />
A week before graduation, thU company could charge<br />
$100 for these satin sacl a. Who would complain? Does<br />
anyone want to be the ONLY person at grac&ation not<br />
wearing a cap and gown? And what about these JUM-<br />
BO tassels nnyway — U anybody really going to wear<br />
one of those horses* tails at the actual graduation<br />
ceremony itself?<br />
During senior year, * social life is quite expensive<br />
also. Of course, one must go out to lunch everyday<br />
to maintain m laid-back image. When Mom and Dad<br />
used to pay for you' sustenance, ti never seemed quite<br />
so expensive. Friday and Saturday nights at home are<br />
obviously a social no-no, and. unfc>nunatcly, nothing's<br />
free in the big city. As a nutter of fact, seniors arc<br />
expected to go out on school nights also, to keep up<br />
their "What me. work?" image. All this ad-ti up to<br />
big money in small time.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are quite a few requisite dances in the senior<br />
year. Senior Boat Dance (this on* * jsts Mccp, too) plus<br />
Winter Ball plus Scrior From add UD to three overrated<br />
nights of big spending.<br />
Probably the most surprising COM is the traditional<br />
Senior Picnic. When you think of n picnic, don't you<br />
think of t bunch of people getting together for a nice<br />
CHEAP afternoon of sun and frisbee? All yru need<br />
is a towel ind sotne food, right? No. rumor is. the<br />
Senior Picnic costs 515.00 this year. Must be servinv.<br />
T'Bone Steaks and champagne, ch?<br />
Lou of students take AP tests senior year. Arc they<br />
»»lly paying $50 to take a TEST? Whit's wrong with<br />
this picture?<br />
However, while senior year may be expensive, all<br />
there is to lock forward to W next year, wlicn even<br />
books and scboo 1 cost money.

Let'i begin 1M.1 month's edition of School Dazr with the Tint •<br />

Opening day for the San Francisco Giann was a bad day all<br />
around For botii the players and the fans: the team lost to the<br />
Houston Astros «•?. However, it was an even worse day for the<br />
part-time senior, ,1,'rt-time hot dog vendor Toby Sltgtl. An irate<br />
fan, not knowing where to place his frustration, decided to take<br />
it out on the innocent Siegel. While returning 10 his scat, following<br />
the seventh inning Jtrctth. the fan hit his haul on Sicgcl's hot<br />
dog bin. Before Siegel could say. "Gel your red-hots." the [an<br />
was in Siegcl's face yelling and kicking him. Keeping hi< cool,<br />
the yocng vendor walked away from the Uuident. Well, let's just<br />

this form of travel.<br />
<strong>The</strong> passage of the Junior Prom can only mean the approach of<br />

<strong>Lowell</strong>'s Vyoi drive proved itself to be quite an experience for<br />

What type of person would give a<br />
teenager a ride for only & mere 25<br />
cents? (<strong>The</strong>se of you who need a<br />
cheup way to get to the prom, this article<br />
i* for you!)<br />
No, t>e answer isn't a con-artist<br />
nor a limousine driver — it's our<br />
friendly MUNI bus driver.<br />
For rhose of us who must take imu<br />
transit to school in the wee hours of<br />
the morning, ihe brown-clad man cr<br />
woman, sitting at the wheel of the<br />
bus. has the power to maVc or break<br />
a morning schedule.<br />
It seems the days you'dn* cm tune,<br />
the bus driver <strong>arrives</strong> on lime — but<br />
the few lime* that >ou'rc 1-ne, the but<br />
b nowhere in sight.<br />
If you're "lucky" enough to be<br />
given the opportunity to crush both<br />
yourself and an overstuffed backpack<br />
onto the already crowded bus. the<br />
driver wilt iavarisbly utter. "Step up<br />
and keep moving to the back of the<br />
coach! I know there's room back<br />
there!"<br />
Ones on Ac bus. the driver will<br />
wair until every single person b safely<br />
behind the yeUow lines marked on the<br />
floor. Meanwhile you * m hyperventuatia<br />
{ because you arc going to have<br />
* big math lest that morning and it's<br />
late enough as it b.<br />
After the ride finally staru. you<br />
begin to doubt ihe skills of the driver<br />
at the wheel as he screeches around<br />
sru.p crrners, stops suddenly at stop<br />
tights, and comes frightaiingly close<br />
to pancd cars.<br />
Sometimes in the middle of the<br />
duo*, the d-ivcr may get out of the<br />
Month; '*-«. Johnny receive? a<br />
thtn lettct from his first choice<br />

hj3jr*rrvic* over 100<br />
more ipptkruioru before his iW-parl<br />
mem will cot.se out with its final<br />
dcciikra.<br />
Finally, the file uf Johnny B.<br />
Goode reaches his desk. Kirk KCS the<br />
exact same inform-tica as Mary, but<br />
reads between the lines for what lies<br />
behind the Information.<br />
He sees that Johnny pUys druna in<br />
the school fond, but doesn't pUn f><br />
continue music in college. He sees<br />
that Johnny it most interested in ha<br />
artistic endeavors, but has not submitted<br />
any \amptes of h*s work.<br />
Kirk is impressed with Johnny's<br />
overall ability, but Johnny Ucks that<br />
standout qualify that Kirk b looking<br />
for. <strong>The</strong> bottom line is. Johnny just<br />

SCHOOL DANCES<br />
T<br />
not just for dancing<br />
l By Matthew HoUk and<br />

o some, <strong>Lowell</strong> dances rcquiir more tlian just a<br />
Uckct and a clean shirt; they demand the use of alcohol<br />
and olhcr intoxicating substances.<br />
One student believes, "<strong>The</strong> only way to enjoy a<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> dance is if you're drunk or stoned, because they<br />
ere so deathly boring!**<br />
"Ysah, I can't remember the List dance I went to<br />
person drive sober) because you're<br />
assured of a safe ride, and in a closeknit<br />
group, everyone keeps track of<br />
each other."<br />
Just Vwm the only thing the fatuity<br />
can do is to monitor drug use during<br />
the dance. However many<br />
studcra "slip by."<br />
In addition, many students openly<br />
smoke marijuana in the courtyard and<br />
bathrooms during dances wUh no<br />
consequences.<br />

anyway." remember the added ones his 1 senior went to friend. drank<br />
"Maybe " if dd the dtnees i were more<br />
exciting I wouldn't feel obligated to<br />

-One - example • • • -of<br />

was described by a sophomore, who<br />

"I've smoked marijucsa at a couple<br />

<strong>The</strong> majority of rnidcnts who jet<br />
drork don't appear to be "...t»utrd<br />
menulitie* attempting to crape the<br />
pressure* of a wmlid home-life."<br />
M(W viy they do it to have a good<br />
time, to "enhance the dance." and<br />
to relieve school and social tension.<br />
Besides alcohol ltd marijuana,<br />
nitrous exile, halluciriogenic<br />
mushrooms ('shrooms), lytc-gic acid<br />

drug that's rapidly growing in<br />

before dances, bit no; to the same<br />
dejjec.<br />
Where do students keep their<br />
paraphenalta for the dances?<br />
"BC'TTC dances 1 tutully buy up<br />
far." commented a senior.<br />
At <strong>Lowell</strong>'s recent Monte Carlo<br />
Night Dance, a guest from a private<br />
school in Maria remarked, "It's really<br />
libcrvl l«re. I guett since there arr<br />
so many people they just can't keep<br />
track of everybody, but I w*s kind of<br />
surprised at the number of s*udent*<br />

bonks ihe great population a*<br />
'' .;wes, another hindrance to tcTchm<br />
for social acceptance and go so far as<br />
to fake intoxication, hoping they will<br />
be respected and admired by their<br />
ftiends.<br />
Oce scphomore adnrnud. "I talc<br />

Of UK students interviewed lor ihia<br />
article, there would appexr to be no<br />
«crjorjpc among drug men. <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
i* a whoo) of *ocial cliques, and<br />
students simply tend to follow the example<br />
uf the other clique members<br />
"I really KOt into H (marijuana),<br />
when you go to a dance you're uippmed<br />
to \< 'meracing whb others in<br />

commemrd one junior. "When<br />
you're drutk. whatever you do or say<br />
doesn't realty scent so matter. If you<br />
do something rapid, you can always<br />
say that you cxvldn't help it because<br />
you were drunk."<br />
Ohm condone drug use in a different<br />
manner: "I honesUy used to<br />
think that taking drugs and stuff was<br />
really tame, but so nuny people do<br />
it, t fed like h'» okay anJ that it's<br />

Most srudcus wno use dru^s Kni •<br />

failures or "stoncrt"; they just see<br />

and relaxation.<br />
car right before or during the dance.<br />
"Dances arc root because you get<br />
drunk beforehand and let it burn off<br />
while you're dancing. You're soocr<br />
by the time you get home "<br />
Some smdents with enough<br />
courage may even attempt to tTiuggle<br />
drugs through ihe entrance with<br />
the intention of using them later on<br />
during the dance.<br />

U. to naturally it rubbed off pretty<br />
bit." admitted a junior.<br />
To many it's exactly this: a way to<br />
Tit in and be a pan of something.<br />
Often, after a dance, friends share<br />
their stories of eluding the authorities<br />
and virious mishaps Jong the »ay.<br />
"It's so funny to think of how<br />

Co«ch Lloyd Wilson noted the<br />
strength of the team when he stated.<br />
"It's been distance (running) nwre<br />
than anything else,"<br />
Even the traditionally strong<br />

<strong>The</strong> sprint team too has endured<br />
tenon love*, taduding senton Mike<br />
£hapii> and Wayne Cokmaa.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re b*s been controversy surroundikg<br />
the loss of these fivr strong<br />
runners. Wibon explained that the<br />
reason the runners left w» primarily<br />
outside activities. WiUon did not<br />
cut the members from the team, but<br />
informed them, "If • penon docsa'l<br />
come to practice, he should drop<br />
track for hi* other activities."<br />
Senior Dean Poubkida* explained<br />
the group's motivation for quitting<br />
tiack. "We quit basically because w«<br />
weren't bring coached properly...the<br />
relations between us (Wibon and the<br />
runners) were not the greatest...he<br />
^"^* turn om some good mi men, but<br />
he doesn't treat his runners with<br />

" nKnnt r^K-h I tnene Paikcr<br />

By Julie Wong<br />
We've worked harder than any<br />
other school," proclaimed right<br />
fielder Tim Lim.<br />
Due to hard work and dedkatinn.<br />
coach Dave tjopczfctU pleased with<br />
the team's performance during the iccond<br />
half of the junior vanity<br />
baseball season.<br />
Although the team is divided between<br />
eight freshmen and eight<br />
sopbomofcs, most of ihc frethmai<br />
have the key positions. For example,<br />
freshman Ed Garcia plays first base.<br />
M l result, the team is buica.ly a<br />
yoang one with most of the members<br />
not having played with each other<br />
before. This unfamiliarity has been<br />
the cause of mental errors committed<br />
by the team, according to Lope*.<br />
Reflecting on the gome against<br />
Washington. Lopez re*soocd. "We<br />
gave up seven runs, so we wcrs right<br />
up there with them (Washington)."<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> lost to Washington by a score<br />
of 11-6. If the team had been better<br />
pirparcd mentally and hadn't given<br />
up the seven rum. they would have<br />
won the game by a score of 6-4.<br />
Since most of tl«ir games laM<br />
about tour hours, a tot of physical an!<br />
mental stamina h required of the<br />
young players. Urn commented that<br />
the players grew tired towards the fcd<br />
of the games and tended to become<br />
more relaxed, too.<br />
In addition. Lim noticed that \ince<br />
most of the runt that the oppming<br />
team scored thi* scavon were on<br />
walks and \ieals. the team morale<br />
went down with the fint walk given<br />
up or with the fir\t error committed,<br />
because they uuially caused a chain<br />
^of more walk* and error*.<br />

Sophomore Duvld Lee hurls > knucbleAvIl p^M a Lincoln baiter.<br />
Concurring with Lopez, Lim J*>J.<br />
"We have a pretty strong MA.<br />
We've just guf to'^e pre^rcd F entaUy.<br />
We've got to br alert, take Motrol,<br />
and keep our heads up."<br />
This realization of the rmpor tnce<br />
of preparing for a game mental).', u<br />
well ai physically, has paid ofl.<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> IUS defeated MUSKX*.<br />
Galileo. Lincoln and Wilson so far<br />
this scavm.<br />
Lopez attributes the ream's performances<br />
to practice with the pitching<br />
machine amorr; other reasons. He<br />
stated. "We're putting the ball into<br />
play a lot more, and the pitching ii<br />
coming around." He noted the high<br />
level of pitching iTom sophomore<br />
Neil N&kagawa and freshman Derek<br />
Wong, who gives up only two runs<br />
a game on the average. Lopez is particularly<br />
impressed by Wong's<br />
abilities.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Jock<br />
Does he exist at <strong>Lowell</strong>?<br />
B> KrndaJIe Cobb<br />
What a « "jock"? Morespediically,<br />
what u a "<strong>Lowell</strong> jock"? Do they<br />
CUM? Some people think rx*. tvunc<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> students "...atctooUiHtoui<br />
io participate in athletics."<br />
What causes this kind of thinking?<br />
In a few movies, the "jock** is a<br />
character looked up >o and admired.<br />
In r it movies, however, he's dumb,<br />
ami ail reasons for playing include<br />
getting a school jacket, being admired<br />
and swooned over, pursuing an<br />
athletic done of hi% childhoxl. and<br />
pleating his father.<br />
In the movis, the "jock" often<br />
looks thin with very slight arm<br />
musclo, is bull-headed, and doesn't<br />
flunk out because of the help of a<br />
smart girl with glasses.<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> isn't like the movies, and<br />
because it isn't, some people arc persuaded<br />
into thinking that "<strong>Lowell</strong><br />
jocks" aren'r as athletic as the<br />
"jock*" in the movkv<br />
<strong>The</strong> male athletes at <strong>Lowell</strong> aren't<br />
all gorgeous with ten girls following<br />
them around at all time. <strong>The</strong>y do just<br />
fine in their hooon, A.P.. and<br />
science <strong>class</strong>es without the help<br />
(many times) of the <strong>Lowell</strong> girls,<br />
many of M ben t arc just as athletic (inthe<br />
neit issue).<br />
As far as their reasons for par*<br />
tictpatiflg in soorto, "<strong>Lowell</strong> jocks"<br />
say, "...for the fun of Us", "...to<br />
tiuke something of their senior<br />
year," and "...because the coach<br />
more popular." explained Totcrttino.<br />
M. Cho added. "Because of this,<br />
more people ire taking private<br />

"All the learns seem untamed —<br />

<strong>Lowell</strong> has no male "jocks" alsu say<br />
that <strong>Lowell</strong> guys study for fun and cnjcy<br />
it. Actually <strong>Lowell</strong> guys enjoy<br />
their sports, often times, mote than<br />
their studies. Why?<br />
Because as senior Marvin Metoyer<br />
says. "I'm addicted to spcrts." One<br />
freshman even described, his tpon u<br />
a challenge and claims to enjoy<br />
competing.<br />
Many male athletes at <strong>Lowell</strong> eJjoy<br />
the competition, be it an individual<br />
sport such is tennis or a team<br />
ipnn such as football. Some choose<br />
to be on teams, such as wrestling,<br />
where there is a reeling of elation<br />
when the team wins, but which also<br />
have on individual aspect.<br />
Sophomore Chris Galvia said of<br />
winnbg. "1 like to win. but it'* nor<br />
as tmporunt ai having a good time."<br />
Senior Tbaaasi Pkppu also ceoers<br />
on the sport more than ttic compcti*<br />
tion. Pxppu say* the Importance of<br />
the snort * "...the good discipline<br />
aud the tuct that it helps you<br />
psychological]/ ta everything."<br />
AH athletu must have this<br />
Lopez cotvoued, "We've cm<br />
tiown on mcri*al .errors." He cicJilco<br />
this to more playing time for the<br />
players to get u» know each other and<br />
ut coordinate play better- Lopez also<br />
commented that the players are now<br />
atntcfpaling utuiboas md are communicating<br />
more. He observed that<br />
captain David Lcc has become a<br />
««^r leader fev the team to try*<br />
ing to rally spirit on the diamond.<br />
<strong>The</strong> team had hoped for a repeal of<br />
h*. Ac*<br />
cording to seniors Man Fukuda tod<br />
Adam Borneleit. wnen the football<br />
and wrestling teams win, they "pv<br />
ty." Members cf the cross country<br />
team kept ttp their sport by rwminf<br />
around during Pizza Night, expressing<br />
their joy of having win in all divi*<br />
sions. by yelling. "Sweep."<br />
Other "jeeks," acrurdiPg to<br />
Metoyer. "...just go home and<br />
study." After sll, they arc <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
students.<br />
When the "jacks'* lose, according<br />
to scpohornore Ard*cw Tobon. "We<br />
don't fed horriNe." and Ray adds.<br />
"It keeps you humble.*'<br />
<strong>Lowell</strong> "jocks" are diflennt from<br />
thsoe in the mevk*. However, like<br />
moM things at LtrvcU, the "L^wdl<br />
jocks" have more spirt, dedicatwa.<br />
and intelligence that most others. In<br />
short, "<strong>Lowell</strong> jocks" are not only<br />
different, but better.<br />

AIDS<br />
discussion<br />
beneficial<br />
AU studecB in the San Francisco Unifrd School Dtarkt<br />
were educated about Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome<br />
(AIDS) during die month of M«y. <strong>The</strong> district-wide<br />
program wu mandated by the Eottnl of Education. Tkt<br />
lawrtflluuta and commends the <strong>Lowell</strong> faculty for joining<br />
together to address the topic of AIDS, which umil now<br />
h*» been a subject largely ignored in the San Francisco<br />
KhooU.<br />
According to Principal Aim ribish, the immediuc<br />
faculty response m an understandable one: "I don't think<br />
1 know enough about this to teach it." After the school<br />
boant initially appro ml the proposal. Finish recalled thai<br />
there wu ever, tome resistance on uV part of some<br />
principals.<br />
A respected "cider of a teacher's organization quelled<br />
teacher opposition in the district somewhat by stressing<br />
HIM «,C are faced with u epidemic, end that although a<br />
tocher may not hare all the facts, there is no one better<br />
qualified to leach about AIDS than a teacher. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Lowell</strong><br />
faculty attended a lecture ind discustai session on die<br />
AIDS epidemic in May.<br />
On Tuesday. May 20. the teachings in that session were<br />
revealed duri-ft an extended registry, where reg. teachers<br />
taught the f»ctt about AIDS: what it is. how it is spread,<br />
bow it may be avoided.<br />
"I thought it was extremely well arganized jnd well<br />
Naught-through. It turned out oetter than I expected."<br />
commented English tocher Jo Arm Stewart. "One reason<br />
1 think i: was such a wcvess was that the kids were so<br />
cuiperativc.''<br />
' Tic school district wants to avoid the terrible things<br />
which have happciKd in other districts where kids who<br />
are alrtody under so much preuure (as a result or being<br />
afl!icted with AIDS) arc not ullowcc: to go to school."<br />
Counselor Doe Wong was pleased with the way the<br />
situation was handled. "No matter wh?t our feelings about<br />
it arc. not talking, about it is not going to make it go away.<br />
It's such a threat, people havr to know about it."<br />
... reg. teachers taught the facts<br />
about AIDS: what it is, how it<br />
is spread, how it may be<br />
avoided.<br />
Regarding the cooperative anitudes which many<br />
teachers adopted in reference to the subject, Wong ntionaliied.<br />
"I don't see why there should be any qiulms<br />
about leaching it (AIDS). This is the same as any other<br />
type of lesson."<br />
Although the methods of instruction varied from<br />
registry to registry, one complaint sounded loud and clear<br />
from registries throughout the schocl. If :tudcnu arc expected<br />
to leant about AIDS, why were the blue booklets<br />
handed out at the beginning of the instruction collected<br />
at the cod?<br />
Dr. Fibish concluded by remarking. "<strong>The</strong> -wst<br />
dangerous commodity is ignorance." It was the hope of<br />
the school district that AIDS education in the cU^rcom<br />
would hclu to replace myth with fact. <strong>The</strong> Lc*tU appreciate*<br />
the work of all involved in tie project and supports<br />
AIDS education in the <strong>class</strong>room as a courageous<br />
step in the right direction.<br />
Time for new books?<br />
Kermesse creates cohesiveness<br />
Last week the <strong>Lowell</strong> community observed its annual<br />
rite of spring—die Kermesse. As in post years, the event<br />
was a major success. It 'vas a success. Tint of all. in thit<br />
the students and faculty obviously had fun. It was a timely<br />
divenion from the daily grind, and it afforded everyone<br />
an opportunity to rcleav some nf the tension that has<br />
begun to build up as the faculty and student bod) begin<br />
their preparations for the serious business of final exams.<br />
Additionally, while it is probably not a major financial<br />
event, it does produce some revenue for the participating<br />
clubs and interest groups.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se 'jeneflts in themselves more than justify the lime<br />
and effort involved in the Kermesse's planning and execution.<br />
However, the real benefit of the Kermesse<br />
transcends diversion and economics. It does n>uch to bring<br />
the <strong>Lowell</strong> community together in a cohesive manner. <strong>The</strong><br />
school's diversity is at once its great asset and something<br />
of a lability. On the positive side, <strong>Lowell</strong> students obtain<br />
an exus dimension to their education in their exposure<br />
to so rrnny different cultures. But this some diversity tends<br />
to cause fragmentation in the student body. <strong>Lowell</strong> is i.x<br />
It was a timely diversion from the<br />
daily grind.<br />
as close as a student community as some schools whose<br />
makeup is more homogeneous. Or course. <strong>Lowell</strong>'s large<br />
sac contributes signiikanUy to the tendency Tor the community<br />
to break down into subgroups, which in many<br />
cases hardly know or inwact with each other. In any case<br />
events like the Kcrmeue do much to r£set and mitiga^<br />
the fragmentation and estrangement 'Jut if probably intrinsic<br />
in eo Urge and diverse a community.<br />
. . .the real benefit of- the<br />
Kermesse transcends diversion<br />
and economics.<br />
THE LOWELL applauds and expresses gratitude on<br />
behalf of the entire community to the students, teachers<br />
and staff members who give their time every year • J this<br />
very successful and beneficial event.<br />

Becat"« the ship has not been iced<br />

Van expressed. "JUrm was very<br />
supportive and helped me to bomt ray<br />
confidence on the coun...he ii an<br />
ur emotional player which is good<br />
because he never gives his opponent<br />

Before becoming interested in tennis,<br />
Chen was an avid table tennis<br />
pUycr for four years. Kc competed<br />
in park aad recreation ujuraamems<br />
tnd won many trophies and awards.<br />
Cfcea switched to tennis in his<br />
freshman year because there wxw'i<br />
• table temus turn in high school and<br />
many of his fri ds were involved<br />
with tcnnU.<br />
So Chen (raded in his ping-pong<br />
paddk for a tcnius racquet and learned<br />
the game of tennis on his own.<br />
without any formal instruction.<br />
" It was haruVr \o switch from pingpong<br />
10 icnna became fcrmi* requires<br />
more phjtkal endurance and il b a<br />
harder sport to be good «, when-as<br />
ping-pong i% much lev* competitive,"<br />
remarked Chen.<br />
Teammate KaChi WOT; added.<br />
"Whaicvcr ihc sport—,xng-pong.<br />
basketball, tinnii-hc gi*c* 100percent.<br />
He always has the 'inning<br />

Ak far as hi* fim.ic endeavun are<br />

Sophomores<br />
By Julie beat Wonc Freshmen<br />
lta*e ihe undeiclaMincn c*u)4i%hed<br />
a precedent? How?<br />
On May 16. the Frcshr.un and<br />
Sophomore Classes held iheir second<br />
annual softbal) game. After seven innings,<br />
the sophomores came up on<br />
top with • score of 17* 11. <strong>The</strong>n what<br />
happened? Well, the sophomores<br />
cheered the freshmen, and the<br />
freshmen cheered the sophomores.<br />
Though the sophomores wuo b> six<br />
rum. sophomore coach Nadja<br />
McNeil cnp | airni1i "<strong>The</strong> teams were<br />
prnry evenly matched. It wavi'l easy<br />
(to win). Everyone really worked<br />
hard. ..the ftcslunen had a lot ol<br />
good hitters and fie Wen."<br />
McNeil continued by saying lhat<br />
the only advantage that the<br />
sophomores h*d was better organua-<br />
•Jon. Sophomore Jenny Camou reinforced.<br />
"We had some experience<br />
from last year'* fame."<br />
When did tliix competition begin?<br />
Thr froth-soph softball same came<br />
when ihe CUss of '87 presented the<br />
ids* at a BCO meeting last year. According<br />
to Camou. last year's game<br />
was unorganised because it was the<br />
firJ game, while thi* year's game<br />
turnoiout "...pretty good..."<br />
Ov reason f«w ihu year's better<br />
orgaruatioa is the set of rules that the<br />
sophomores established. Each team<br />
U allowed only two p«tices to cnture<br />
recreational play instead of the<br />
competitive Powdcipuff play in<br />

Meanwhile* (h? other learn occupies<br />
all the parts of ihc diamond—even the<br />

Since each team puches to hh own<br />
team, the pitches arc usually slow or<br />

means there is tess danger of being<br />
hit by 1 fast ball to condemn this<br />
