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

As I expected, security was very tight. One had to pass through several
ecurity checks before proceeding on to onc'sdcstinatlon. Passes consisted
[ many sorts: delegate, alternate, guest, page, staff, security, and

the enmd up by leaJhig the cheer. "Four More Years Reagan Bush." (I
myseU was standing \xj the eleventh floor balcony, and the view was not
the greatest.)
The sixth sessUn of the convention was essentially the acceptance
speech and closing ceremonies. Reagan accepted the nomination after
adhering a carefully designed speech. Even the Jokes were pcfrsUy
chosen. For example, the President said. 'Will Rogers once said he
never met a man he didn't like. If 1 could paraphrase, our friends In tSe
other party norr met a tax they didn't like. . ." The crowd broke inktremendous
appUuse and cheered for several minutes before Reagr *. had
the opportunKy to d-lhrr the punch line: "or hike" Furthermorr. not
only did Reagan effectively appeal to America's sense of patriotism by
nMnlpuUllng the Olympic theme, he named each dty that the Olympic
torch passed through to Illustrate the diversity, splendor, and greatness
of Amcfca.
Aftrr the acceptance speech, Ray Charles led the entire convention
floor m singing "America the Beautiful." The ambience was truly
tremendous. What was even more remarkable wax the spirit of unity,
prk'-e. and optimism displayed by the crowd when they rabed held hands
and began singing "God Bless America.'' Imagine the feeling at Spirit

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

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

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

Proposition 36: a definite loser
When California!* voters step up to the ballet box
this year, they will make decisions on proposition
that will ib-pe the state's future. Some of these pro*
positions benefit all, and some appeal only to certain
vote", but others. Uke Proposition 36. are clear-cut
losers.
Proposition 36, the taxation amendment proposed
by Howard Janris, should receive a NO vole
regardless ot the voters opinion of Proposition 13
(oaw Article XIII A In California's 2fute Constitution).
Proportion 13 had many negative effects on
California's school system, besides Us drastic cu \ on
the state's lax revenues, which weakened or
, ellmluatcd avny state-provided services.
Due to Proposltlop 1.1. 1.000 teachers In San
Francisco were laid oil and univcrthy/conn* unity
collate fees were raised
• The San Francisco Unified School District en*
durcd other HnisrUl hardships when Proposition 13
wu passed in 1978. At U/urcll, as s result, there arc
cpproxlmately 20 percent fewer cl\sscs and teachers
and Vo-lhirds fewer custodial employees.
I! Proposition 36 panes, the public school system
would lose, a half billion dollars. Under current stale
law, the state would be fonxd to replace thcie funds.
However, raising money for education would become
Pledge at Lowell?
The tint Amendment to the Constitution Is the
opic of much debate. We hear people complain
when they are denied the rig)*.: to free speech, and
people get upset when they see their right to freedom
ol religion being restricted in any way.
Never before, until this year at Lowell, has the
violation of one's right to Pledge Allegiance to thr
flag ol the United States of America been an istue
for debate — anywhere.
California law states that all students mutt be
riven the opportunity to recite the Pledge of
Allegiance at school, and the Lowell uudcni government
and administration have taken it upon
themselves to ensure that we not be denied this
"Inalienable right."
California law also states that no orange may be
peeled In a California hotel room, but it Is not too
often that wn see somcono being arrested for this obvious
crime.
Lowell government, backed by the administration*
apparently feels the need to make the op*
portunity to recite the Pledge available to those
students who seek it. Where are the dearly deprived
student* hiding, and how until now have they
possibly been abtc to survive? Those students who do
pledge allegiance dally Uave obviously opted for
recitation on their own lime.
Deductions from a similar situation, last year's at*
tempt by the Cardinal Crusaders to gain rights to
meet on campus, may be applied here. Principal
Alan Flbtsh reasoned that the right to peaceably
assemble Is different from the right to peaceably
assemble In someone else's living room. In the same
way. the right to recite the Pledge of Allegiance is
different from the right to recite the Pledge of
Allegiance in our common living room, the Lowtt)
High School campus.
It U wrong for a high school to be tdvocating
steads on moral decisions, and the weekly recitation
ol the Pledge over Radio Lowell, as suggested by student
government, is a violation of a «tudcnt*s right to
oot Involve himself with the Pledge of Alleglince.
It is diffktlt to believe that our government and
administration at Lowell, are ridiculous enough to
think that some students will actually embarrass
themselves by-standing up In'front of their entire

even more difficult ilncc the state's source of tbU
meney Is taxes and 36 would hamper California's
taxing ability.
If a voter finds that he does not Uke what Proportion
13 ha? done for our state, cither in the arc* of
educational funding or in its other effects on state
taxes, he should vote against 36 which beasts "Save
1J" as its motto.
If. however, the voter supports 13 and Is happy
w!,h its effects upnn California, he should still vole
NO on 36.
Proposition 36 enhances all of the bad aspects or
13 and even creates some problems of its own. The
Initiative may be an attempt tn iavc Proposition 13.
but it won't work.
This proposition would decrease the taxes on
those properties which currently pay the lowest taxst
and increase the IAXCS on those properties with Uw
highest assessments. The assessments on properties
which have not changed hands since I97.S would be
decreased by 6 percent. Generally, these are the properties
which have the lowest assessments under Proposition
13.
In total, there would be 1.3 billion doHars granted
in tix cuts to thes already advantaged (by Proposition
13) property owners. This is simply unlUr.
Proposition 36 nUo proposes that a two-thirds majority
vote be required for any tax increase or
decrease. This Is. in many situations, rule by minority
since ir would allow -mc-third of the legislature to
control the remaining members.
By requiring this two-third* majority on all local
and state tax policies, the effectiveness of California's
local and slate governments would be seriously
reduced since their abilities to tax woutd be affected.
Other reasons for opposing tills amendment include
a provision which would unnecessarily redefine
the word "lax." a voiding of many voter-approved
local taxes by the addition of new restrictions on the
voters, a shifting of control of fund's from the local to
the state level, and numerous other minor, but
harmful, provisions and effects.
Among the organizations opposing ihh proposition
are the California Teachers Association, the
American Federation of Teachers, the California
Parent Teachers Association, the Chamber o! Commerce,
and outstanding citizens and leaders such as
Mayor Dianne Fclmteln, State Superintendent of
Public Education Bill Honig, and SupcrvUur Quentin
Kopp.
In summary. Proposi'ion 36 would neither negate
the effects 13 had on our school system nor would it
"save 13." In fact. It would do more harm to our
already underfunded schools and would tncfease
the unfairness In California's tax situation.
SAB questions access to gym
Do classrooms belong to the teachcre who use
them during the d»y? Do teachers hare the right not
lo allow a club to meet In "their" room after school?
The answer lo these questions is an obvious,
'NO." So why docs the Physical Education Department
believe it hrs the right tn say that students ma>
not use the gymnasium?
The Physical Education Department and its
department head Ed Burns have adamantly ttated
their view that the Student Activities Board should
hold school spirit nMles on the football Held, in the
courtyard, or in the auditorium.
The difference of opinion between the P.E.
Department and the SAB b not new. Last year, the
school district allotted funds for repairs of the Lowell
site, and some ai the money was spent lo resurface
the gymnasium floor. Since then, students have been
hearing about the worries of Burns and membrn of
the department of possible "damage" lo thr floor by
non-P.E. class use.
Fint ol all, does the P.E. Department really
believe that heavy metal volleyball and badminton
poles and gymnastics and other equipment wlH
cause leu damage lo ih: surface than students walk*
ing slowly in and out of the gymnasium? (Can
anyone ever run out of the mobbed gym after a ral>
ly?)
Second, the rallies are just as much a part of
Lowell as the physical education classes, Xlter all,
OLC of the factors that makes Lowell an outstanding
school Is the pride and identification that the
students nave for the name of Lowell and thr colors
red and white.
The first rally of the 1984-85 school year was set
for Friday, September 21. The SAB had planned It
mil In advance and had let the Physical Education
Department know ot Its Intention. On the morning
of the rally, instead of the expected sunshine, cloudy
skies gave San Frandvo some ot the tint rain of the
season and rendered the football field and track the
infamous "Lowell Swamp" end "Lake Lowell."
With the wet field and bleachers, the rally could
not possibly have been held on the football field. But
thii did not cause a problem because the SAB had
planned for the rally lo occur In the gymnasium.
What did cause the problem was the appearance of
Bunis in the jym as the sound crew was setting up
for the rally.
He told the SAB that they were to vacate the gymnasium
and have the rally In the courtyard. The SAB
did not originally consider the courtyard as a
possibility because of the hard surface that would
I adversely affect the performance ot tho tong glrb
1 and UK cheerleaders. . *
John Bistett. sponsor n( the SAB, asked Principal
Alan Fiblsh to take actiin for the rally that was less
tlian an hour awny. Ftblsh tote 1 Bluett that tSey
could discuss I 1 the following Monday.
The rall.v. which was very crowds d£s 1J the
limited amount of room in thr. courtyard, was a success
and the song girls and cheerleaders performed
their routines to the best ot their ability, considering
the circumstances.
The next Tuesday. Flbish. Blssctt, and Burns met
and discussed the issue. Burns stated that the gymnarlum
was available for rallies whenever there was
"Inclement weather." (A less important though interesting
point Is that the word "inclement" means
"extremely harsh, stormy, and rough." Does this
mean U»t Burns will not allow rallies !n the gym tintil
a typhoon hits Lowell and wreaks havoc on the
football field m.1 the courtyard?)
The P.E. Dcpcrtmcnt is not explicitly stating that
rallies wiii not take place in thr. gymnasium, but
rather saying tbat students should attend them outside
and "enjoy the fresh air." Meanwhile the SAB
will hold some rallies outside and some Inside the
gymnasium.
There Is an Ironic note to this whole subject. The
athletic department U hosting a "Binge Night" in
the near future as a fundraiser for itself rod the
band. Can you guess where it will be held? Yes. in'
the gymnasium. Maybe if the student body donates
some money to ths P.E. Department, Burnt and the
rest ol the department will be eagir to let the rallies
oelnthcgym.
Presently. It seems as If the conflict Is settled.
Fiblsh stated tbat no pjbllc student activity can be
restricted from using a part ol the building. Toe
Lowell h glad thr dispute Is no Icagcr causing problems
and hopes that the students of LowUl High
School wai never have to fece the possibility of losing -
the use of a school facility.

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

Court decisions) concluded that
the tultfcn tax credit bill proposed
by Senators Moynihan and
Packwood was unconstitutional.
"Not onJy would ibe credits
benefit Hi itutlons whose rule Is to
rmphastxe religious training and
beliefs." wreti Bell, "but Ihey
would also benefit sectarian
KhooU In significantly tarter
schools."
About 90 percent of all private
schools are associated with chur*
chrs. raatf with the Catholic
church.
The First Amendment pro*
• hiblls the government from Involving
itself In church education,"
stated Hollings.
Tiw Supreme Court has not yet
addressed the issue, but it did ccn*
firm the decision of a lowei co*irt.
In Draw* r. Sute of Missouri.
pannU of several private xhool
students sought to have declared
unconstitutional a provision of tht
Missouri Constitution prohibitisft
state aid to non-public schools.
Their caw was that it **as in
violation of the "free exercise"
clause of the First Amendment.
The lower court stated, "A
parent's right to choose a religious
privi't Khool for his children mar
not be equated with a right lo in*
sat that the stele is compelled to
finance his child's non-public
lcbocl education In whole or in
part In order that he may obtain a
religious educatioi. ."
II the tuition tax credit plans
wen passed and enacted into law,
there would be many questions
about what would happen, including
"Where do we get the
money? From the public schools?"
"Public education Is the
keystone of our democratic
government." said HoUIngs. "and
it Is the duty of all wdit*M.uaU...to
support It.
Thi* tuition-credit nropotal
would instead materially contribute
to the final demise of
public education by starting us off

Pro: Proposal cushions tuition costs
By I row ishlnar*
Tuition tax credits could Improve
the standards cf elementary
and secondary schools as well as
provide reUet to mkMle Income
families struggling to meet fitful
tuition costs.
A tuition tat credit would make
a private school education more
cqultahle with publtc school
education. Individual* would be
free to choose for themselves and
their children the type o! edu *•
Uon that t*wy desire at the tchoou
and colleges they select without
baring to preoccupy tbemiclvet
with serious monetary concerns.
Merc children *ould be encoonjtcd
to atteo*l private schools which
would In turn offset the over
crowded classrooms that occur In
rub Ik schools. Public school
classroom sixes would decrease as
a result of tower public school
enrollment.
Smaller classroom sizes in
public school would Improve
teaching effectiveness. Private
schools wuuld be able to succeed,
and public schoo'% would be able
10 stabilize their rising costs.
Although the middle class
would benefit much from the tuition
tax credit. It it not the only
grcup that will.
Some rataoriiy groups w^uld
also benefit from tuition tax
credits, lax credits would allow
mlnorily groups to place their
children In private schoob U tUy
so desire wlthou. havinc »° wdgb
monetary cuncerov so biavtly.
Tax crcdiu would only be
granted to those studentt who attend
• nondlKriubutory school
which bad been ccrtlfUd as such
by the Internal Revenue Servk*,
therefore guarding against
iette«ated private schools.
The Is- ue of tuition tax credits b
not the first in federal «*uc* tnjo to
involve the Intcnuliinal Revtflue
Code of the Committee oo llnarce
because publtc schools have for a
long time received federal Jld an*
tax breaks from the government.
The federU government's first
responsibility Is to the public
tchools, but It also has a respon-
Ability to taxpayers who send
children to privitv schooU.
"To deny flaanclal aid...and
thereby make It more difficult for
Cww to obtain the education they
seek for their families is to submit
to paternalism and to station."
stated Senator Daniel P.
Moynihin, regarding private
education.
Although elementary and lecon*
go
to colkge and university students
and their famUies.
Tuition tax credits would allow
Individuals and famllks to retain a
tittle more of 1 ei Income at a

Any supplementary funds a

>tit'i eligibility.
Fur those with vcty low Incomes,
ttw grant programs are more
useful thftn tax credits, but for
millions not eligible for grant aid.
the lax credit wouid be helpful.
"It has been charged that
students and families will not retain
the benefit of the tax credits,
the theory apparently being that
colleges and universities will boost
their tultloa charges so as to 'capture*
Ibe additional resources."
said Moynlhan. "This, however. Is
not true. Schools that try to exploit
tuition tax cixdlts by boosting
their tuition will find It difficult to
attract students to their Institution."
With rising tuition cuts, it is
becoming room aaJ more difficult
to circumvent monetary problems.
A tuition tax credit would provide
additional government approved
relief to those who formerly would
not qualify for sutn.

Althoach the freshmen had
oever organized a class rally
before, they gave a good flnl
showing, according to many.
The *HS song and yell girts per*
formed on the footbtll field before
a larjc audience. They, along with
Imhmin Bmanucl Blcvint, tried
to inspire fellow claismatcs.
**I wanted them to have enthuilatm,"
voiced Blcvins. "It was
ezdtlng, but it could have been
better."
Freshman Claire Dalint agreed.
"The wng girls were really good,
.but It (the rally) was plain com*
pared to the junior and tenter
rallies."
On October 16, the *57 rally was
held In the newly dedicated Carol
Channir... Theatre due to rain, instead
of on the football field as
scheduled.
The *S7 song girls performed on
stage, in front of a packed crowd:
they encountered some trouble.
I "The music was messed up for
I the song glris." stated sophomore
Christina WonK.
Christy King added. "The
lighting wasn't too good... the
stage «a* loo small for the song
girls."
The jfcnersl consensus amonp
the sophomotc was that the rally
»a*. "average" or "medium."
Nevertheless, the w>phumurc*

Rally's final day is 'fiasco'
By Irene Kuo
Emotions ranged from mild
disappointment to outright anger,
but the student consensus was thai
the last day of Spirit Week was a
met*.
A faulty public address system
and the concurrence of the foothill
game against Lincoln intcrfeirrd
with the rally. As a result, much of
the rally hid to be cut. Including
the much'iwalted class skits.
The Juaiat Gau' skit was well
under way when the game began
with the singing of the National
Anthem and the accompaniment
of the band.
John Blst*tt. Student Activities
Board ipcaur. made the announcement
that the skits would
be held In tlie courtyara during
mods 14-15 the following week.
For many this announcement was
llttif solace for the damage already
done.
Students from Lincoln had torn
do«n the posters from the opposite
bleachers, and a few brave ones
had permeated Lowell's side to
cheer on their team, boo Lowell,
and tokf unused balloons.
Some seniors were particularly
disappointed, leaving the field
enraged and in tears.
"We didn't get to show
everything. I thought It was a
mess." fumed senior Pinky
Jaliwal.
"I think that they should have
had the skits. The actors were
upset because they spent a lot of
time: It was too bad." said senior
Margaret WOOR.
"1 didn't tlilnk it was nice of
(the Lincoln students) because we
put a lot of hard work into those
poiten. 1 was mad." said
sophomore Klrby Yee.
"It was unfair to cut out all cf
the skits. I was really looking for*
ward io them especially the Class
of *86's. I was disappointed that
they cut the rally short for the football
game. 1 was upset that Liacoin

Others were lest disappointed.

Helping the handicapped
By Shako Kasfcirama
Many have probably noticed the
program for the Severely Profoundly
Handicapped (SPH) which. In the
pas: month, has quietly become a
part o! the Urn el! community. It is
likely, however, that wry tew students
have given i» much thought.
True, ttw SPH program may be
regarded as bong somewhat detached
from the res* of the student body, and
It Is a little-known fact that for those
with a little cnura§« and a wlllmjaw

portunity to have an experience

ThU opoonnnitr lies within 'he

These are the itudent volunteers

"This (volunteering In the progrtun)

"Working with these handicapped

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

and Bertha von Suttner. a pacifist

thought, nations would not be at

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

confidence, pride, and pressure.

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

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

about as much sense at telling the Torld in the middle of June

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

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

decision: what camera to use.
There are many options
available to the nhologra^her of
today.
One has the choice of getting, a
camem in which only the skills of
pointing the camera and pushing a,
t-uttrn are requltiJ. IUCK as with
the disc and pocket camera-, or of
getting one where th" tkllls *>f set*
ting everything from aperture to
ihutlrr meed are rcqulrrd such at
with the more complicated 13J
millimeter cameras.
According lo Ruth Un of Sun
Photo at Weil Portal,
photography with tl>c disc, pocket,
ard 126 millimeter camera* it not
true photography.
Usually, the photographer sees the
Image at a slightly ollltrent angle
from what the camera sc*s.
With ih« pockrt camera*, the
negative Is much smalhr than with
the US millimeters. Therefor*?, the
photographs produced are cot as
clear and sharp.
Since most photographic
knowledge comes from experience,
the best way to learn photography
is lo actvally shoot some film and
learn from mistakes.
According to Un, the most common
mistakes Include not focusing
correctly, not having the «r eel

Board creaied &e SAT as an ob«

William Ilia, dun ol «drablions
at Bates College lr. Uwiston.
Maine, bellevei that the SAT U
ovcr-cmphaslted an-* Las becorcs
a tutus symbol fur students.
Bates COUCJJ has decided to
make the SAT score an optional
put of a student's admission
package. "We want to put the erapiiatis
on the student's four-year
academic record and their extracurricular
accompMihmcnts."
•Unstated.
Othrr universities following this
IrenJ Include Bovdoln College
(Maine). Sarah Uorence College
(New Yc-k). and the University of
Wisconsin. E\'n Harvard admissions
officers are considering making
this move.
certainly arc more tpeclfk with a
broader rank* ol test material.
While th? SATs only tat verbal
and math skill*, the Achievement*
provide tcm la English composition.
English literature, tvo loxls
of Math, French. Spanish. German.
Latla. Hebrew. American
history and social studies. Europnan
History and world culture,
biology chemistry, and physics.
According lo YVUilam Fitzilm*
motu. Harvard admlstions director.
"We've noticed over the past
several years that Achievement
Test scorn are slightly better
predictors of freshman •year per*
tormance than the SATt." Consequently.
Howard has begun to pay
more attention lo the Achievement
Test remits.
•Respite the growing discontent
with the SAT. a majority of college*
continue to employ U In their
admissions procedure.
James Rogers, dean of admissions
at Brown University pointed
out. "Any bit of information
helps. We don't put gre*~ weight
oa the SAT scores, but they are
"...Achievement Test scores are
slightly better predictors of
freshman-year performance than
the SAT's."
Another argument oppoiing tett
emphasis for college admission Is
that because the SAT supposedly
measures aptitude, which is
sonuilmes mistaken for Intelligence,
students think that, to
VCt Into cotlcre, all they must do is
score well on a genera) :«t that
docs rot measure one's ability to
learn. This lends to reduce • student's
Incentive to study,
A Hifcgcstcd solution would be
to weigh the Achievement Tests
moro heavily. These tests are considered
more comprehensive, and
useful."
At firown, eight percent of the
19M freshman class had verbal
scores In the 400'*. Some 40 percent
had scores in Ihe 70O'i.
One Lowell counselor cautioned
that an important Idea lo
remember Is that when applying to
selective colleges, the SAT score l«
often the only one facet of the candidate's
total picture. Of equal Importance
is • good high school
record, a challenging course program,
»nd extra-curricular activities.

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

Intcr-club football is becoming more popular with
every passing week here at Lowel!. After school on
Thursdays and Fridays, for instance, there ai\>.
usually at least two or three games on the football
and soccer fields.
Whin did ihis football phenomenon start? The
first official football game between clubs, as we
know it. look place between the Adventurers' Club
and Star Fleet Com naud during the fall semester of
1983. The highly publicized contest was won b Siar
Flee! Command. 28-M.
After this first experiment, other organi/atiuns
decided to schedule their own panics. The Lamc-O's
Football Club, created for competitive play between
its members, began to play ^antc^ against other
clubs, such as the Basket: all Club, the
Beatlcrrianiacs, the Comic Book Society, Epsilon.
and the Comedy Zone \rraivhc.ich.
With the inception of club football competition,
another outlet for club unity and pride « s created.
Entire club memberships turn out for the big event,
if not to play, to cheer their comrades on to victor)'.
In most cases to ;'aic. club football games have pnv
vided healthy competition and a now sense ol .portsmanship
for each club that has taken pan.
Would it be possible to start an "Intcr-club Football
League" this spring ut Lowell? If there is interest
in this idea, the clubs and organizations at
Lowell should begin to organize it through the BSCS
now, so thnt any problems could be ironed out.
Let's keep club football games a strong part o! the
Lowell High School tradition.

The Sa Francisco 49crs ars not only or.i: ol the
best teams in professional football, but they arc a
team with character.
The 49ers might not be very flashy, but they arc
lough and sharp and can beat u team on any level.
Joe Montana runs one of the most complicated
and accurate passing attacks in the NFL. He mixes
up is air attack with long and short throws to all his
receivers tn backs. When the 49crs arc no' throw-
ing the ball. Wendell Tyler and Roger Cr:iig i'a/_/.ic
defenses with their brilliant, rugged running
Not only are the 49crs able to score points, but
their hard nose defense shuts down opposing teams
and always makes the big play. The defense is lead
by players like corncrback Ronnie Lott. who often
comes up from covering iiis receiver to make vicious
hits on opposing running backs.
The team not only depend.; on veteran players,
like- Jack Reynolds, but also has rookies, such as
Todd Shell, getting in on the action.
What makes 'his 49cr team unique is that thsv
have personality. The players and coaches take each
game as it comes, and are not big talkers. Thcv do
not make predictions on their upcoming games. t!ic
playoffs, or the Super Bowl.
Jn the tielil. the team plays with dignity an;!
pride. You very rarely set Bill Walsh blow up at an
official because he disagrees with a ca'.l. Even
though the players get very emotional jnd
sometimes frustrated, they very rurrlv get into
fights. They arc .ible to accept the referee's calls and
control their enu lions towards opposing players.
This character which the 49ers possess makes
them a true professional foothiJI team! H w

LEC organizes fundraiser for Ethiopia
One of tfre frequently overlooked function of studcnl
government at Lowell is to sponsor mini-course*
which inform Lowell students about current isAues in
and out of school.
In the put, thU ha* been done on certain days such as
"NurJear Awareness Day," when a representative
from a certain society would come to Lowell and give
out button* and bumper stickers and talk to ihc students
who passed by the booth about crucial world topics..
Now, with respect to past student government effortt.
the Lowell Executive Council (LEC) may have
put into practice the most effective mcaiu of both making
students aware of a world problem and helping to
alleviate the problem.
World hunger is the problem, ind according to the
LEC, rundraising is the answer at Lowell. The ability
to run an effective fundraiiing program at Lowell is
evident as the 3,000 students and faculty members at
the school would guarantee an adcquiic number of
participants.
As for the reasons for starting a fundraising program,
recent statistics show that 33.000 people die
everyday throughout the world because of starvation.
Much publicity has been given to the problems in
Ethiopia, and although impressive help has been forthcoming,
the problem continues — not just tn Ethiopia
— but throughout the many Third World rations.
Every contiibution helps, according to non-profit
organizations such 3s Impact On Hunger and CARE.
Students hamper immunizations
California and San Franciso» laws set clear irimunUation
reqjircmciiis far all students concerning
vaccination aiuin>t ceruin disease*. Despite tlic
generally effective efforts of Loucll High School to
conform 10 these requirement'., problems have surfaced
that muM be considered.
The system used at Lowell m insure thai all Mudcms
have been properly immunised is not the prunlcn.
Students who appeared not to ha\c .ill or the nevco^.,
vaccinations were notified and cxjtcctrd to citht t „ ' •
proof that their immunizations were actually up-to-t^ir

Ihc school was more thjn helpful in this rcsp. '.. On
December 7, nunc* from the district's health center
came to Lowell to provide a clinic where students were
able to receive the vaccine for measles and rubella.
There was no charge for these vaccinations.
After the Tint notification, it was announced thai

If the 3.000 people at Lowell gave jusi on.; dollar

If a club fails to complete .. service project, the BSCS

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

'Night Life'
is fine,
but...
While some young people envision
the ideal adult evening out as
dining and dancing at a prputar
night club, other teenagers have a
different view of what goes into a
fun-ftllcd evening.
In the informal poll conducted at
*chool. some SO student* were uked,
"What t\ your idea of a Tun*
evening?" Their responses were
many and varied.
Seven students responded that
going out to dinner, followed by an
evening of dancing is their favorite
way of enjoying a night ot fun.
Two varied a Nt from this pattern
and said that go.ng to a movie after
dinner would be preferable, and
two others picked going to a party
after dinner.
Spending an evening at the
movies was the first choice of five
students (skipping a dinner out),
and three suggested visiting a
favorite pizza parlor before going
home, while two voted for Mopping
off at tin ice cream parlor.
Four Lowcllitcs indicated that
having a party evening was 'heir
idea of ihc mow fun. Four athletic
students picked an evening of bowl'
ing as their most enjoyable activity.
Driving ami cruising amund in a
fancy sports car was listed oy ihrcc
seniors at a way of having a satisfying
lime.

"'A fun ni^hi out doc\ not rcilly o>pend

most anything together." Another
junior reflected. "I always have
lots cf fun whenever 1 am with my
favorite friends, no matter what we
do."
The remaining responses were
mostly i-.dtviduali7cd in nature and
did not fit a specific category.
A junior opted for in evening of
ptaying Trivial Pursuit. Another
junior cited, *'... walking up and
down Haight Street with my
gang."
"To me, an ideal evening is one
that merely deviates from ths
routine that I am accustomed to on
weekdays," offered one senior.
Washing television wts mentioned
by on!y two student*. A
senior chose "... having a pujama
party." as her number one choice.
Anoihcr said, "... going out and
having a big banana split.* Other
responses included, "... renting a
good fT-ovic." "... getting a full
night's sleep without worrying
about cramming for exams." "...
silting on the bench and watching
the sunrise." "... going out to
Candlestick Part., cbrcring for the

"... talking *.•* '"JC telephone for

Two respondents can't get away
from the academic influences of
Lowell High. A freshman enjoy*.
"... gaing to the library to do

and research materials." A junior
U happiest "... when writing letten,

I, these various responses are
typical. Lowell students find a
variety of activities pleasurable in
enjoyhg a "fun-filled" evening.

he challenged its policy of reserving

Other simitar cases followed the
BaUce case. Two of them were dub*

the Italian Baike case." However,
t&e two cases resulted in different
rulings.
In the Russian Bakke caw, a

Super Bowl XIX
Sun Francisco Miami
VS.
49ers Dolphins
Dan Harrington
Marnin Weinreb
Can there be a better matchup Tor Super Bowl XIX
than the San Francisco 49crs and the Miami Dolphins?
Since mid-season, football fans all across the country
have been talking about a 49cr-Dolphin Super Bowl.
Both teams are powerhouses in the league and posted
the two best records in the NF1..
Both the 49ers and the Dolphins won their respective
divisions easily and were the fi.-st two teams to clinch
playoff berths.
The Super Bowl will have the two best quarterbacks
in the league, Joe Montana and Dan Marino, playing.
The 49ers have a diversified offense that can beat an
opposing team on the ground or hrough the air. The
Dolphins, on the other hand, have an explosive air attack
that can score at any time. Eloih teams have extremely
strong defenses as demonstrated throughout
the playoffs.
There is no clear favorite in this closely matched
Super Bowl. Both coaches are masters of the game of
football, and both teams are well prepared for the
game. It will mist likely be a game decided by which
team makes the fewest mistakes. The only advantage in
the game can RU V J *.- 49crs because they are playing
in their home i< >u and have won eleven straight
games.
This Super Bowl should be a truly super gumc.
Now that we have outlined what we think will be major
factors in Super Bowl XIX, here arc the predictions
of some Lowell students and faculty (we will give our
predictions at the end of the column):
Junior Chris Crisera believes that Super Bowl XIX
will be B "Rock "em-Sock 'cm" football game with
heavy hitting end plenty of offense and defense. 49crs
21, Dolphins 17.
Senior Kevin Allen thinks the Dolphins will win
(predicted sccic of 33-30), saying, "My heart's with
the Niners, but mrj money's in the rigiit place."
"I think the 49ers wil! beat ihe Dolphins 26-13."
said sophomore Bumey Navas, adding, "but
remember, I'm not The Greek!"
Senior Nick Fiorcntinos. assured of his accuracy in
projecting the Niners 31-21 winners, commented, "I'll
\» right because J am The Greek."
After giving her prediction-(S.F. 24. Miami 21),
freshman Bonnie Garcia meekly added, "Marino's
gonna elic!"
Senior John Tuiasosopo (a cousin of 4°ers defensive
lineman Manu Tuiasosopo) confidently predicted a San
Francisco win by the score of 27-20 after giving a fiveminute
preview of the game.
Security aide Ron Hodges, on the other hand, exclaimed
that be "wasn't crazy" and rested his opinion
in a 35-20 Dolphin win.
Arid would a list of predictions be complete without
the educated guess of Dr. Alas Fibish. Lowell's principal?
Prob»bly not. Fibish, "t loyal San Franciscan,"
officially proclaimed that the o![v

Student proposes
end to self-scheduling
Daar Editor:
This letter is concerning the inefficiency
and inluitncta of Self-
Scheduling Diy.
On January 30. I9K5. Lowell
. Modems were given the "unique"
opportunity of choosing their
couno at well as their icachen for
the upcoming spring semester.
. I. along with many other student*,
felt ..Sat Self-Scheduling Day w»
uajuit and incompetently
admlniitered.
I believe that dqiartmrnt head*,
counselor*, teaencts. Shield and
Scroll members, and student
government officrrs should prognm
students inf J classcv In other
words, students should not be allow*
ed to program their own schedules.
In my opinion, students should only
be given the dunce to telec* their
courses and net their teacher*. This
method of scheduling will present
unnecessary frustration, confusion,
and headaches.
Furthermore, the unfortunate
snidents who chene lost or near last
on Self-Scheduling Day felt that
they had all the leftovers, fhti
system ofchoosing teacher* is simply
unfair. I do understand that the
ones wno pfogranffned near the ?tu
will hare the oppominirv to choose
fast •- thai is. in two ysan. To
other students and me who had to
rearrange cor entire schedules upon
discovering that the desired twr.
were closed, the cipcrienc was
simply frustrating.
Morecrer. twener* were unanlc
to control the mob of student* that
w*i waiting for green shreu in the
auditorium. Students, anxiou*
because they couldn't hejr their
names called, ran down from their
seats and lwanneri rmxmd the unforturute
own dittnbuilng the green
sheets. I bclietc that both the
studenu and the teacher* are to
blamr Tor the disorder.
Furthermore, there was frustration
and confusion everywhere in
the gym. Disappointed students
were scrambling around to find
class opening*. Confused ones
fltdn't know what to do with ihcir illegal

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

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

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

Several factors braght about IIK

Poor agricultural method*
resulted in extensive soil .rmton in
northern Ethiopia, while the Mani«

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

Wars." the program that may
render enemy ICBMt (intercontinental
ballistic miuiies) "impotent
and obsolete" by ihr* use of interctptir
rockets and lasers.
The Star ^Vio defensive system,
describes James Fletcher, a science
adviser to Reagan, is divided into
three intercept phases in which
enemy mrsilcs will encounter in
succession.
TV first phase, called the boost
intercept, tikes ptacc immedlitely
, after the launching of enemy
missiles. "Battle station" satellites
armed with "hyper-velocity guf»"
use electromagnetic energy to accelerate
"smart bullets." The smart
bullets possess enough kinetic
energy "to tear apart the miuJc

describes Fletcher.
While ir space, the enemy
missiles would each release up to
tea bdcpcndcntly targeted nuclear

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

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

Although he lakes fau craft very seriously. Hmkinson
realize.* that the thcatrr is a place to have fun. As
the current cast is rehearsing one portion of The
Siircrrer where everyone on stage is supposed Co be
"froun." one can hear pennies and mckcK being
hurled from the hands of one "frozen" performer to
their target: another "fro/en" performer. Other
"frown" performer arc muttering jokes under their
hrcalh in an allenipl m get their "fnt/cn" fellow ca«
members to Uugh and break character. They uMially
succeed, for Hoskinson helps them along by gelling
in on the game\ himself.

they awaken under ihe power of a love potion and
discover (heir true love at last. He adds, "Even if \he

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

In 1924 there was a need for ajotnet high school to serve the Richmond
District w) re norres were rcpUcinj the sand dunes north of
Golden Gate Park. If the Superintendent's "better idea" for Lowell
h»d been successful, many sodents reading diese words would not

The auditorir.n was crowded to capacity, people standing three and

move in iu history, this time to iu Eucalyptus Drive she.
In 1954 the Board of Education agreed to give the none. Lowell.
to the city's new high school located in the southwestern part of the

young people of San Francisco.
Lowell had a new home, but the kind of school that occupied the
building would be resolved only after a bitter struggle that wu
reported in Time magazine. In the fall of 1961 the student bejy and
staff prepared to move to the new site on Eucalyptus Drive. But the
Board kept postponing iu decision about the kirid of school Lowell
would be. At the November. 1961 Board meeting, the Superintendent
presented a compromise plan:
Approximately half to three-fifths of the student body
would be districted from an atlccdobcc area between
Balboa and Uncoln High Schools. Approximately 40%
of the students would come from the entire city.
Opposition was unexpected because the Lowe!! leadership had
been persuaded to accept the "64MO F?an" as the best compromise
they could get. Yet, not only did the plan cause discussion, it sparked
a debate that became so volatile that (he Board postponed iu final
decision until the December meeting. Ironically, the major reason
- for tbe postponement was the intransigence of the anti-academic
forces in their all-or-nothing demand for a districted, comprehensive

The teen suicide rate has tripled

The obvious question is; why are
so many teens taking their own live*?
Expcru believe that almost
anything could trigger a widdal urge
• in a teen. Because the "teca" years
are the very difficult years of transition
from child to adult, teens must
accept new responsibilities and oew
challenges. It is during ibe teen years
that a person becoraes truly
vulnerable, aod with same teens finding
the stress tad pretuirei of
"growing up" loo much in handle,
they ultimately chootc to end the
pressure* by taking iheir lives. Today's
society it placing mote and
more pressure on its adolescents to
compete, to achieve, to succeed, to
be better than the next person...the
list goes on.

Who dresses worse?

WL4 do Lowell students think of
the way their teachers dress?
Most commented that teachers
dress "fine," but specific rcnuiks
were leu than complimentary.
• "Lowclltcachcudrcttvfry.vcry

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

of the votes. Condolences go to

For the brewing industry, a ban in

mean a drop in the numrcr and the

In oiher words, if the proposal succeeds,

George Hacker. Ihc national coordinator

As Wolf pointed out. if advertisers
for Leer and wine advertised

what bappcaal after people used
their product*, alcohol would not
look as appealing. A drank driver
advertising a beer would tut be as
succevsful as an attractive >uppic
would. Wolf commented, "If you
showed the effects, you'd look like a
fool."
Certain groups pushing for the
pasting of a ban arc especially concerned
about commercials in which
celebrities appear who may have a
large Influence on young audiences.
Arnold Fecc of the National Parent •
Teacher Auociation expressed the
contention that the advertisemenu
are "directed at young people who
cannot drink."
"Young people are particularly
affected by alcohol endorsements by
athletes or entertainers." according
to the Comprehensive Care

Again the comention cannot be
proven so we arc left with an ongoing
debate. Advertisers contend that
iheir commercials are only meant to
"introduce new products" and
"gain* larger share of the market."
T*y point out that there has been
no causal connection prmen between
broadcast advertisements and
increased consumption of alcohol.
The broadcauers and alcoholic
beverage producers adamantly

Shea, president of the United State*

Presently, the broadcasters do

Also, alcohclk beverage commercials
do not show people actually

never the act of drinking.

The first third of the movie, which
basically sets up the plot, is tensionfilled
and exciting. But (he pace slows
down considerably when Book
becomes a part of the Ambh

The Amiih are people who basically
believe in plain ways of living and

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

The plot revolves around Winston

He begins keeping a diary, an illegal

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

"Originally, the main reason for

to maintain the equipment.
But. as the Kcrmcsac became
popular, the improvement of school
spirit became just as important a
reason for having it."
Last year there was no Kcrmesse
at Luwcl*. A conflict arose between
the teachers of the Foreign
Language Dcpanrocnt and the administration
over the hours of extracurricular
school service.
All Lowell teachers wtre assigned
sporting evcou to attend. Most
foreign language teachers objected
to UJC supervision duty, stating that
the hours of planning and supervising
the Kermeuc fulfilled the administration
requirement.
Dr. Alan B. Fibish. principal.

and therefore, the Foreign

"The members of the Foreign

glad that the Kermcsie will be back,
and 1 believe the decision to hold it
ihit year b a good one."
"Last year, my friends and 1 were

Tchikovani stressed. "Hopefully,

Ever find younclf- swamped by
homework wlti very little lime to complete
It?
h's not all too uncommon for students
to fed prewired by the large amount of
homework that trachea assign daily.
There never seem to be enough hours in
. tha day to do all of ti. This dilemma may
be the result of poor lime budgeting on
the student'! pan or over-assigning on the
teacher's pan.
"Teachers and
students should
realize that there is a
discrepancy between
teacher and student
expectations."
Both teachers'and students should
realize that there is a discrepancy uclween
teacher expectation} and student expectations.
Many teachers have high cxpecuUons
of themselves and iiigh expectations
of their students. Teachers, confldeni
in the academic capabilities of their
students, may sometimes not even realize
IhM they are placing a lot of pressure on
them to accomplish more.
On the other harJ. students probably
"vcr give much consideration to the
•"•«« of time and effort that teachers
/n into planning a leuon. assigning
homework, or making up a lest. Weighed
down by their work load, they don't
realize the work thai a teacher may go
through.
'"Many teachers
have high expectations
of themselves as
well as their
students."
Do teachers have homework?
Many teachers spend just as much lime
correcting papers and preparing Icuun
plus as students do doing: home wot I and
studying for tests. If you thought that

Some honors and advanced placement
teachers do not even receive ad?qU3U:
preparation time for all their classes they
are legdly entitled lo. They spend many
hours every night preparing diverse and
relevant lesson clans and correcting tests
so that they can return them promptly.
A.P. and honors teachers are motivated
lo teach ai a more rigorous and challenging
pace in preparation for the Advanced
Placement lest.
•'...sometimes
teachers do assign too
much homework.''
—Other teachers are motivated by their
enjoyment of their subject and their enjoyment
of teaching, this is why some
teachers use their free time to leach aIdi-
•looal classes and to sponsor extracurricular
activities.
However, sometimes teachers do
assign too much homework. Tills may be
done oil', iic idea of helping students

can hinder student progress and cause
students to lower their goals because of
feelings of inferiority.
The intent behind heavy work loads
may be a good one with no harm intended,
but the manner of getting lo ttul ideal
is not always beneficial to the student. In
other words, giving more homework;
doesn't necessarily insure more learning.
Despite difference* of opinions, a
warm thank you is in order ro ul the
teachers who work just as hard for a slu -

Students should thank their teachers lor

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

A woman's right ^
to choose -
a moral dilemma?
By Era FesU
' lion came up. The class had just read a poem by Oliver Goldsmith,
(1728-1774) who claimed (list the only alternative fora woman who "stoops
to folly'* (or becomes pregnant) "...Is to die."
The learner put ;he qoesticn to the female members ct the class. Would
any ot them ever commit su*c=?" over an unwanted prcgnnicy) Ail replied.
"No." One particularly , v ot>oken classmate almost glitly replied, "No,
I would have an sbortir a."
Thb discussion put *i t topic of unwanted pregnancy in more of a ti
perspective in ray rood, and I realized that it was only 12 yean ago that
abortion was tyfj=rJ in the United States.
Twelve year* ^o my classmate might not have ipoken as easily about thb
option. In fact, ,1'b*. event of an unwanted pregnancy, she probably would
have had to sat rime all cducationa! and vocational plans (eight out of 10
uwage raxher.i b California do not return to high school after the child's
Wnh). pay an exwtiuat fee to have an abortion performed illegally, and risk
tier own life with / "back alley abortion."
"Naihanson 's statements are
misleading and medically
inaccurate."
As a result of the Supreme Court's decision in the ewe of Roe vs. Wade
in 1973, abortion b now legal and much safer. But despite the fact that
Congress and a majority of the American public support a woman's right
b choose, and 82 peircnioproKaeernpa to outlaw it, the "Pro-life" mote*

The newest tactic b the showing or • highly controversial film called Vie
Stlatt Scrtam. produced by Dr. Bernard Natbanson. fonner director or Nattaoal
Abortion Rights Action League (NARAU. who has om^awwbortion.
Thb fallacious film depicts an abortion being performed while Nathanson
narrates. He states that the fetus exprricjees pain and makes purposeful
movements to avoid that pain. *'We see the child's mouth open in a siltnt

According to a panel of medical experts who critiqued thb film. Nathanson's
t^ifTnts are misleading and medically inaccurate. A 12-week fetus
Us not fully developed the cerebral cortex or gray matter covering the brain,
where pain Impulses are perceived and cannot feel pain at thb stage of
Qcvdopcncitt.
Furthermore, all movement at this stage b reflexive, furposcrul move*
ment requires cognition, the ability to perceive and know, and thb too has
not yet beea developed in the fetus. Any movement b much like the withlnwal
response of an amoeba or one-celled organism.
Nathanson also has claimed that the fetus b viable. "Everybody is \iablcincludbg
every unborn child at any stafc of pregnancy. They're all viabK"
he claims.
Considering that a fetus has only rudiments of the organ syuern. is incapable
of conscious thought, cannot breathe independently, and U utterly
unable to sustain life on its own, scientifically speaking, a feus b hardly vuble.
President Ronald Reagan endorses thb propaganda-' Medical ictcncc docton

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

Motcow to brief Reagan, said Gorbachev
was "energetic and
businesslike." but be «!» ccutiontd.
"It fs one thing to be
businesslike, but whetl-cr is arm
out you can do business b another
matter."'
Western goveromeot analyst*
who specialize in affairs of the
Soviet Union concur that GOTbachev.
like his mento:. Andropov.
was overinterpreted by tbe West as
beini "liberal." as a man who
would take steps to reconstruct the
Soviet system.
Gorbachev's style b reflective of
a new Soviet generation. Hb dark

ability to look at situatiocs in
fresher perspective than the ciierty
hard-linen of the Politburo.
TV-i new «y»e may mislead
Westerners into thinking he is an
easy potHican to win ever. He b
not. Michael Heller, French
historian of the Soviet Union, said.
"Just because Gorbachev cracks
Jokes, and Mrs. Gorbachev b
' elegant and slim doesn't mean
totalitarianism has ceased to exist."
In discussion, he b relaxed but

Family farms facing extinction

Thomas Jefferson had a vision of
America as a land o" small, independent
fannen.
Today Congress a fighting over
the importance if that "family
farm" to American agriculture.
Unable to sbouMcr the del* and
othc* nigh costs of farming, many
small farnien are tailing.
The Rcag*n Administration, advocttc
ot the ftve market. pUtu to
drastically redvee the amount of
farm subsidies. But the Adjunutratioo
abo predicts that bcauK of
their size, family farms may DO* be
able to survive. The debts and
market flucnutiooi they will ac
forced to cadurc may send many of
them out of business.
The fanu.'/ farm idea popularized

Movie soundtracks
making noise
By Jonathan Alberts
In retrospect, the results or the last few Arafcmy
Awards ceremonies seem to indicate that the Bay
Am possess* • thriving movie soundtrack industry.
In fact, over the put several years. Bay Areaproduced
soundtracks have dominated Uie nominations
for the Sound Oscar.
Amadcus, which won eight Academy Awards
ovcnll. including one for sound, is an example of the
special work being done in the Bay Area
The film, including the soundtrack, was produced
a! the Saul Zaentz Film Center in Berkeley. The
sovadtnek's production was supervised by Bay Area
sound designers Mark Berger. Tom Scott, end Todd
:Roekelbeide.
Many more film soundtracks with Bay Area
backgrounds have achieved fame and recognition.
Tte Right Satf. for example, was last year's winner
of the O«car for Sound. This movie's soundtrack,
like that of Amadou, was produced at the Saul Zacntz
Film Center.
Never Cry Wotfil anothct movie whose soundtrack
was produced at this facility.
• The nuking of a movie soundtrack is often times a
tedious process. When a movie viewer sees a scene
where many different actions are taking place und
many different sounds are being generated and blended
together, he may be under the impression that the
sounds were simply recorded on the spot, h cannof be
done that way.
In this age of stereophonic sound, viewers demand
sound clarity and realism beyond what might actually
be heard in the "true" siluiuon. Film producers cannot
just record sound as they film.
The modem process of sound editing and producing
doesn't only involve the music to be played during
the movie. Of equal importance to the producers
are the less obvious, sometimes almost undctcctable.
sounds which increase realism or help create and control
the mood of a movie.
All sounds arc recorded individually and then spliced
into • reel at the appropriate moment of the movie.
One reel, for example, might contain all of the car
engine sounds for a movie. This reel would eventually
be played simultaneously with the cube: sound
reels for this movie to create a master rcct containing
all of the sound effects at precisely the right moment.
This time-consuming work requires patience and
skill. In producing Amadeus. over 70 reels of sound
effects were recorded for the market scenes alone.
Overall, the soundtrack for this movie required a
year's work on the part of Bergcr. Scott, and
Boekelheidc.
Besides the Saul Zacntz Film Center in Berkeley.
Lucasfilm is located in Sui Rafael and in San Francisco
there is Francis Ford Coppola's Zoctrope
Studios.
A publicity spokesperson for Uicaifilm commented.
"I don't know why wr'rc all up here. It's
just coincidence."
Making money in SF
By Jculca Leung
Ot* a Monday morning in 1848, a nun named John
Marshall flood ankle-deep ai the south forte of the
American River in Cilifomia and found pieces of a
yellow metal. The metal tuned out to be gold, and
thus began what historians consider "the greatest
adventure since the Crusades'* — the Gold Rush of
1849.
At (he onset, the gold seekers, or Forty-Niners as
they soon became known, were relatively few in
- number. In a few short years, however, the count
nearly doubled from 140.000 to a fourth of a million.
Men from all pans of the world with varying cultures
Cocked to this former Mexican province, bringing
with them universal ambitions and desires.
Meanwhile, the coinage situation in tic Weil was
one of chaotic heterogeneity. Many different kinds
circulated, among them French louisdors, Dutch
guilders. Indian rupees. Mexican reals, English shtllings,
and American prcccs. For commerce to grow, a
standardized form of currency was needed.
Nature, hu^.'ver, did not design raw gold for the
needs of commerce. To meet monetary requirements,
the gold must be fashiored into standard forms of
standard value and convenient size. In other words, it
had to be minted into coins.
In his final message to Congress in 1948. President
James K. Polk first proposed the building of a brsnt h
mint in California. On *uly 3. 1852. Congresi
authorized the establishment of a US mint in San
Francisco.
The first mint, the predecessor ot wSat U now
known as the Old Mint, was located in a gO-'oot
square buHdins on Comiaercial Street. The gold
coins produced the first year valued $4 million.
Merely two yean later, product totaled $25
million,
.As time went by. the relatively small mint could no
longer meet the growing demands. Thus, in 1874.
. operations moved to new quarters at Fifth and MUaiott
streets, a contemporary, nxrny factory often
called "one of the best appointed mints in the
-;; world."
To CaJifomlans who were separated from "the
• finer things" bade East, the mint, a fine example of
the architectural style known as Federal Cubical
Revival, was more than a coin-producing facory; it
was a laark or culture and progress. Its spacious
steps, backed by a sextet of Doric columns, became
• everyone's favorite spot for politics] and industrial
Not iy did the mint pov\cv» jcsthctk; beauty, hut
endurt.-ri strength as well. The San Francisco Cult
wrote of the building, "The fire department will have
little trouble quenching an> conflagration that may
arise within its walls, and unless an earthquake gives
it a subterranean quietus, it bids fair lo stand for
centuries."
This prediction proved to be true in (he Earthquake
of 1906. Of all the buildings in what was the business
district, the mint was the only one to emerge unscathed.
During the di*a»tcr. loyal employees risked their
lives and came to rescue the mint. Engulfed by domes
and melting glxu, they pumped water from the artesian
well below the central court to save the building
from subsequent fire.
Through the 1906 Calamity and three major wars
the Old Mint served. Ironically, it could not meet the
increasing demand of the changing times for coins.
To increase production, operations were moved once
again in 1937 — this time lo a square, marble edifice
overlooking the city at Duboce and Bucharun streets.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
On June 16, 1973, the Old Mint wns officially
opened to the public as a museum. The front of the
building serves as the museum, while the rear houses
the mint's rpecial coins and medals division. The
computer center within the mint permits the mint to
rapidly process orders for. the public. This service
generates millions of dollars a year, thus making
u^toration possible without tax fiinds.
K*tt the shop where souvenir ure sold and coins
a.t orc-anl by collectors, the public can see •otnc of
the scaltA used to weigh gold during the days of the
Cold Rui n. Some of them are Will sensitive enough to
detect m; weight of a pencil mark on a pit. e of paper.
At' -OM of one dollar, the visitor can press a but*
ton on a massive 1869 press and thus create his own
medal bearing the design of the mint building on its
• *ce, and an outline map of the United States
superimposed on an eagle with outstretched *ings on
the reverse side.
In addition, the visitor can see 4 stack of .999 pure
gold ban. which weighs over a ton and costs more
thanSt million.
These are but some of the many attractions at the
Old Mint* which is opea to the public on weeedxys
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. School tour* arc welcome.

threw him a pass, and the ball was stightlv overthrown. He
had his eye on the pass the whole time. Danny stretched out his
hands and, w^th th; ball at his fingertips, he ran into a garbage can.
But don't worr, — the garbage can wai all right. As for Danny, in
the future, he's sticking lo hackysack.
I work at a nujor department store JX Stoncstown. I won't mention
an)' names, but it's the one with the big "E." Anyway, a lot of
Lowell students pas* through on tlieir way to the bus stop Well,

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

In 1931. the baseball world was
about to meet one of its mmi tremendous

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

But it is at the universities across the
United States that the strongest prcssurw

100 colleges participated in rallies, marches,

Previously, on April 4. 4,000 Harvard
students crowded Harvard Yard to suppon
Rev. Jesse Jackson when he spoke at an
anti-apartheid rally. On this sums day. 250
Columbia students blockaded the doors of
the main administration building, and 12
students went on hunger strikes, proclaiming
that they would not dciist until th?
university issued a statement divesting
from companies that do business with

"Students do want to be a part of
something larger than their own selfinterest."
The students devote much time and
energy when they protest: many have been
arrested and charged with criminal counts
and face threats of disciplinary actions
from the colleges. Despite the possible
consequences, the students ore willing to
make whatever sacrifices necessary. Logsn

Jnited States: our continuing
ommitment to world affairs
By PWilp Kwocts
Recently in aimlvcniry passed, forgotten by mo»t AmcrK-.v.. fort}
ear* ago, on April 35,1945. a small J.iwp of Ural world leaden garnered
a S*n Francisco to form in organixation "to save succeeding genentiont
men the scourge of war."
Tlte chiner formed at the San Francoco Conference eventually served as
the nucleus for the organization to be known as the United Nation*.
At the time the charter wrs written, the work! wu concluding llar earned by
men. Women's groups argue that
comparable worth is tSc only means
of immediately bridging the »jfc
A major bone of contention betwren
critics and uippartcrs of comparable
worth i% the objectivity and
the validity of the job evaluation
system. Opponent* chuigr that * rule
(wo jobs may be compweU, it is im-

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

South African shares views on apartheid

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

[.you JUM didn't think about seeing
i black people on tic beach with you.
I'«K if someone asks you the qucs-
I tion, "Isn't it ttnngc ihat in • coun-
'W where, the ratio of blacks t»
whites is four to OM. you don't see
(any blacks on the beach with you?".
only then does it come to you.
| That'* tht way things happen...it's
certainly not malignant.
, h'% won a case of indifference and
apathy, which is certably not the
'prerogative of the South African
t saw ipanhctd as a way of life
one didn't question, until somebody
asked some intellectual questions
about it: "Is it right that...?" And
obviously the answer cannot be.
"Yes. it U right." The answer
could be. for instance, "Ye». ii'i
pragmaticaUy working." but in fad
it doesn't even work pugmatically.
There's no justification for it. if it
doesn't work in practice and if it's
not a natural policy in the Tint
place, then there's every reason for
it to change.
Q: How Jo South African schoolt
treat the subject vf apartheid?
A: The EnglUh tradition in South
Africa, which I grew up in. is
somewhat schizoid in the sense tfui
in theory they (the English) arc
liberal, but in practice, they are very
keen to look after their own interots.
There is no difference in the
curriculum of the English and
Afrikaan schools.
The difference was that we would
live discussions about ethic* and
Jcmocracy. and the English can talk
about the* thinjn in civics cl*».
hut thev Ain't jpply it I" the l.val
concept rjthcr trun a ciwwitt*: one
The English look *t ruuor> m J
very "hiitoncal" tontcst. «* uj*u»
the present day. So ihst's whetc
South African "civics" ended, and
so there were no embarrassing or
heated dweuwion* av you pcrrup%
should have in such a school.
There's also a strong fcclmp in
South Africa that potitics \hould tie
kept out of school,..it's rather like
keeping religion out of school, that
that's \omcthing >ou should do after
hours, 10 discuss and weigh and
debate. Certainly at the universities
there's totally free debate, eicept to
the extent that an>onc who suggest*
_ or ferments violent overthrow i*
silenced.
There's a concept of political banning
in South Afrira. and I found
out about this through the universities.
Certain people would become
political hotheads, and go too far in
terms of what the government was
prepared to accept.-one step short
of blowing up government

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

be increased from 2,800 to 33,800) will spend the nights on the gym
floor. I wish I were a senior...
So much for fabricated openers. In actuality, next year Lowell
students will be taking ten clattcs, not six. have two minutes for lunch.
not forty, aid will be required to start school al 4:35 a.m. Now, isn't
that much better?
On a mom serious note, junior Michael Alberts (he secr.is to grow
in this column along with K.A. — I'm forbidden to say tf^t name
because the guy bcluw me talks about him all the tin*; u. ueing
recruited for Rutgers University come the fall of 1986. Al *''c recent
College Night, the Rutgers representative asked Michael I.JW much
he weighs. Michael replied 215 pound;. The .-.founded icp further
queried. "Where do you carry the 50 pounds, or. your butt?!"
Bureaucracy has come to Lowell High. In titc fotir-hcadcd monger
we call snident government, there is one council which it called the
Board fcr School, Concerts, and Sludge (it recently changed its name),
or BSCS. Well, the sludge vame out this month. JuJ because tic Comedy
Zone and Model United Nations Clubs failed t" Hie soinc form.
they were excluded from being designated as "Official Clubs." Oh.
honors! What isthti school coming to when a group of students for^c'
to fill out a form? Sure, u rule i» a rule-but come on. thK schcxi! is
made forsttidcnt pan.Jipation. Let's try to be a little fairer and more
lenient in the future- Yes, I kiuw this is not humouous. but ihiv i\
my column, and if I want to make a point, implied or direct. 1 can.
Well, i just die!. Now hack to the humor.
At the Junior Prom, junior Av| * Laurence garrulously atked the
audience that if an>body lilted him, the should meet him at the dou*
after the dance. Unfortunately for Aviv, nobody \howcd up M.i>h»
a more tactful approach would be better next >rar.
Speaking of t!.c .'uninr Prom, who was the otic ci>uplc u Im didn't
attend the post dance bull at the Hilton? There were so many rc\cl

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

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

Is the women's
liberation movement
really passeto
By Evas F«U
The word feminism seems to have a simple enough Jc fin it ion.
Webster's New World Dictionary defines it ss "the theory 'iitt women
should have, political, economic. ant, .TKUI rights -*r^l to those oi
This wont, once used by women's rigfcs activists with such a sense
of unity, pride, im! strength, has taken on a negative, almost subversive
connotation over the past few yean, to the point that few of my
friend* will own vp to being a feminist.
I became painfully aware of this a"e»k» to yesteryear's "women'*
lib** movement during a discussion of this topic with some female
friends. From dese conversation* came remarks like. "Feminism is
stupid" or "Women's Ub is piisc." Unfortunately, these seemingly
insipid comments reflect an evergrowing mind-set of a post-activist
generation.
Why this repudiation and avcnichi to feminism? I think the most
obvious reasoo U that to promote change, any movement, whether
h be the anri-x-w. civil rights or women's liberation movement, must
be Inherently radical to be effective.
"Some figure (that) anyone who
calls herself a feminist must also he a
radical, raving, man-hating lesbian
Therefore, some figure; anyone who calU licrscif a. fcmi*••»! must
aJso be a Mdical, raving, m. vhating lesbian, bent on dctfroyiiB every
last remnant of tradrttopal. personal rciahonships, anil determined to
undermine domestic tianqutltry.
Obviously, this description is ridiculous end exaggerated, but my
point is that this must be part of the image that comes to young
v.orocii's minds when they think of feminism.
To me. a feminist is « humanist, male or female, who believes in
equal rights and opportunities for all % \ho arc oppressed. I wish ethers
wculd try u> sec through an unfortunate stereotype that has tainted
ihi true meaning of this humanistic word. Let's face it: .-tost of out
"yuppie" generation has been prclty apathetic regarding participation
cAd aw.«rcnc*s of civil rights struggles. Only recently have ami*
apartheid demonstrations begun to spark u new wave of political
interest.
think another reason for this apathy towards the women's movement
is ignorance. Hw many realize, for example, that it wu only
a few years ago that a lawsuit fikd by the San Franchco Ctupter of
the National Organization for Women en-led sex discrimin&tion in
Lowell's admission policy.'
"To me, a feminist is a humanist,
male or female, who believes in equal
rights and opportunities for all who are
oppressed..."
T1il» policy was designed to admit an equal number of boys and
girls. Because there was a greater number of qualified girl. than boys,
the admission standards for girts became much higher tlian those for
boys. Ai a result many qualified girls *»jre turned away from Lowell.
Educational discrimination op the basis 01 sex was certainly not
•imUed to San Francisco. Unlair admission policies and quotas ex*
btcd in graduate schools across the country as well. In addition,
numerous careers the* women now aspire to wet? inaccessible to

These arc but a few of the accomplishments of the women's move*

Today's young women mn%t keep a historical pcrsj «cb*c and realize
Inat it was net so long ago that cur own mothers were denied many
of the rights and opportunities we value so highly.
With this in mind, we must re-definc the concept of feminism as
it applies to our owa changing tteeds. And we trust realize that as
long u there are people who feel that "feminism i% stupid." the battle
is net yet over.

Police clash with MOVE
By Eric FsftlfT
At 5:35 a.m. Philadelphia Police
CJoef Gn*ore Sambor called thrtvgh
a bullhorn to a two-story home at
6221 Oiafc Avenue. He yelled uut
te Dotscsscd arrest warrants for four
occopams of the house. When a 15
mlnoie 6c id line had expired,
pot tccmea threw canisters of tezr-ga*
at the building.
Thus started the wont tragedy in
the history of the City of Brotherly
Love.
The police action was token ^rnst
a Mack cult, sclf-na.ned MOVE.
Although the acronym has an mean*
tog, the group does have a purpov:.
They espouic a back-io*nature
philosophy.
"The basis of the movemeoi is
lihilistically designed to Affront

Miroo, an cs[#rt on terrorism.
In the past the cuh has stated small
protests against issues as varied as
public education and trie treanrem of

Seniors await graduation
By Stephen Abraroowlb
•udToa>*.Vlue
It's true: Seniorhis at Lowell will
end on June 1.
Why? On trot diy, nearly 7w
members of the dais of 1985 will
meet In N large audiirriura. wear
cap* and (owns, and rece-'.c their
diplomas.
To many seniors, however,
graduation means a lot more than
just a ceremony. Some tec a symbolic
meaning in the event. Andrea
Jee relates graduation to "...doting
all the old doers and exploring into
new ones."
Peter Marcoputoi alto calls
graduation an entrance into the adult
world, where, as he says, "You
havr to expect the unexpected."
Seniors reveal r wide range of
emotions at Juce 17 approaches.
For Henry Wotf, ihe ceremony
"...is a time of depression...you
compile your thought* ovc. the
yean and think about alt the things
you coutd have done differently."
On the other hand. Peter
Kurlander looks forward to th- occasion,
which will mark the beginning
of hi> independence. After
graduating, KurUndcr wants'*...the
opportunity to put norc time into
career choices." 4^
Cindy FOP envisions graduation >
as a "bittcrfweet" event, but adds.
"We all deserve it; we put a lot into
tt ano now we're setting something
back."
Many students, including David
Botkin. have mixed emotion* about
graduating. Botkin. who will attend
UC Berkeley, is "...happy to get
away after four yean of hard
work," but is also ud because
many of his friends will leave to at*
tend eastern colleges.
MOM seniors questioned have
noted thai they have a lot to took
forward to in college. Calvin Lee,
frrr cuippk. Li >ci> confolcnt «buul
his. career in higher education.
When asked if he is wared ot what
liei before him at UC Berkeley, Lee
replies "Naaah!" Uc feds he has
"the power to control (hit) own
destiny." but his top priorities in
college a.e still "...(getting:) good
grades, good money, and •» good
girl friend."
Foo'i main concern at UC Santa
Crux b "...developing tmy) individuality,'-'
although she alw
recognize* the inootunce of
"...suiting over" with her social
life. She realizes thai it will tr hard
10 keep up relationships *hh Lowell
Mudents and faculty when sh* cruen
the "real world." outsid.' the
"...lutle world at Unveil."
Unlike Foo, Botkin puts great importance
on establishing new friend)
in college. He plans to have an
"awesome locial life" and meet
"...VERY good-locking girls."
While others arc already concen-
trating on their new lives in
September. Jee is still thinking
about June. She hopes the will
"...feel norms!" when she
graduates.
Lee summarises the feelings of
most Lowell wtuotj when he isyi.
"I want to have alt the fun now
while I still can."
After all. on June 17, the Class of
IVH5 will no longer be union; they
will again be freshmen.
Parents comment on end of high school
By Carrie Nbhlraoto
Po parents think fnuiulion Ujiui

Whether gradating magna cum
lauje from some prestigious law
schnol in 1983 or just squeaking by
•n high school aomt thiny vein age.
htudems still share with their
cUssmales * instinctive experience
OraJuaua, Aen, evokes various
fcclinjs. if no; pandbtiul, in both
parents and their children.
When reqoestnd to describe these
feelings, parents came up with
••depressed." and "lonely." and on
i more positive note, "relived."
"ecJUtic," aful "proud." One
mother cicUimed. "I felt so happy
to rove managed to complete high
Kloof, and yet. h was upsetting to
ire that this (graduation) was really
the end...after graduation. I no
longer Ml the same way.
This relative ambivalente OTBS to
be characteristic of graduates.
However, "coaftnion" is often a better
description. One parent apress.

Uoot (at that tine) were genuine or
those I ilw»ghl were cjpected of
me.. .sometimes! thought If* I was
the only gra£nde who didn't know
her Iwure plum."
Generally, though, this confusion
clean up when their own children
graduate. Then, thr .jtdcrabinl fed-
~mg of die parents towards flirtation
b mostly one of optimism, raging
from ultimate exaltation to contra
satisfaction. "I wasted my ion u enjoy
Ms graduation mole than I did at
my own." comment-d one father,
"and a.'so reflect on what he had accomplished."
Not surprisingly, spire patent*
become reflective and scuimemal as
high school graduation approaches,
somelLnes as early as their child's
freshman year. They may constantly
sith and »ay. "I car't believe my
baby's graduating soon." rr
something which seems equivalency
degrading in Ihe opinion cf Ihe
graduate-to-be. Ostensibly, these are
the parents who plan tr gather as
many graduation bids as possible so
they can invite all the relatives to the
commencement exercise.. While the
graduate may not nectssarilv appreciite
this gesture, at Iran there is
coraolalion that his pareJls do care.
Commencement
These parents want to vicariously
enjoy their children's "commencemeat."
Invariably, they may seem to
be more energetic and enthusiastic
than th: senior himself, who is not
only exhausted from comrJeurg
rcuntle- \ college applicauons but aljo
has contracted a lerrib'e case of
••seniority." Thus, while Ihe senior
vegetates, hii partna are the ones
win make Ihe preparaicm for Ihe btj
event.
In the other hand, some parents do
rot experience tMuma with the ouet
of > graduation, 'iiplalned ou
parent. "I see graduation as a supping
stonr to bigger and belle:
dungs.. .mere's rsJy (little) rascn
•o see it as a criminating point when
theic's • futare ahead."
Another parent reasoned, ..no
matter if it's graduation from middle
Khool. high scfconf, or college, it only
seems more important than it actually
b. (Such events) arc emphasucd
more than daily accomplishments
which happen to be just as imponani.
Why do you think so many students
are disappointed by graduation
anyway?"
One fnuhcr viewed graduation as
a type 01 "imcrmiuior." She
argued. "It's not as if you stop learniong
after you graduate ..butwhen
you're a senior you deserve lo relax
and celebrate a little.
Most of the parents concurred on
one thing — that graduation is one of
the unique events of one's life.

Fcr the pasi three yean. Stephen

Regarding the last three votes.

Ti pony student*. Granucci is
more than a learner. He H a man who
understanding, laid back, and
humorous.

comfortable around him, not referring
to him as "Mr. Granucci." but
rather, "Mr. G."
He -.nicrttand* who teenagers

why we think of him as a friend." explained
senior Elaine Kwoflg
Granucci revealed thai he was first
inspired lot' -h because of hi* contact
with . ^Icge ;«rafesvw whom
he admired because he touched the
ttuderls with his lectures. This contact
encouraged Granucci to work
toward obtaining a teaching
credential.
He started teaching at Lowell seven
years ato. He is currently leaching
Latin 2. World Geography 2. and
Applied Economics. He has been the
sponsor of the Ski Cub. the Class of
1983, and is presently one of the
Stephen Granocci
sponsors of the Class of 1985.
"I don't feel this recognition
reflects on my teaching abilities," he
said. He feels that he has become
popular with the students t .-cause he
has been able to «ufk closely with
them in a variety of activities, such
a« Spirit Week.
"As a class sponsor. I have reccrv-
H most of rny recognition v*hh the
students." he noted.
The popularity poll for 19S5 tun
not been released yet. but a number
of scnion have confided that they
would not be surprised if Granucci is
the winner again.
Summinit up the fcctinjtt of many
*eniors, Michael Woo commented.
"He deserves to win. He has done so
much for the Senior Class."

SPORTS—

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

EDITORIALS,
Garbage problem is not solved
la the pat, awry student* and teachers have cciuplained
ybut tJ« garbage problem in the halts, but U banning fox!
fiocn the trukllnf the answer?
l£U seraeixr, the administration's solution to the gar*
bagc problen: wai to close room 2AC (the rcom used by
organizations to sell food) if the halls h&d been dirty the
day before. Since the Depanroent of Hcak'i ha* banned
the selling cf food in that room for sanitary reasons, the
admin Islrattrs hive had to use «i alternttc solution.
The alternative they have chosen U to prohibit food
anywhere in the building except in the cafeteria. If the
student* do not want 10 cat in the cafeteria, they have u>
cm m ihecouityaid or on the grounds around the Kliool.
This food bin wis made to try to eliminate the gaftxge
In the fcalU becnue the problrm was very bad bst year.
"Ttiey want us to eat outside,
but all the garbage cans are inside^
__
By the end of lie day. there were piles of wrappers, bags,
anri oilier unied pieces of litter on the floors thrcughoui
the emir? xhool.
* Many students protest eating ifl the cafeteria because
it U "oracrowded and unclean." Principal Alan Fih-sh
Cfacrd that the dinincst is caused by the neglect of students
to pick l*p after themselves, much like the problem in the
halii. Students also complain aboui the horrible smell, but
Fibish said that 0\e Board of Health has no complaints
about it.
Thr other opjon students have is to eat ouuide the
building. Since there is not much room »n the cwrryard.
this forces students to go farther away from their classes
to cat their lutrhes. such as the fuld near Sronestown.
During die fitstww days of school, many fcCzde^tstifed
to obey lie rule, but it became very inconvcment, so many
people cow just ejt anywhere they pleas?.
The majority of the faculty is not enforcing the rule,
so student! are beginning to forget about it. to fact, many
of the teachers eat their iunches in the building cnl allow
food to be eaten ir. their classes.
Fibish has a>tal the faculty to enferec the rule and to
«ct a gon»i example by nol bringing food in the building,
but only a handful have conformed. He hopes to gel more
rapport in the future, but enforcing this rule might cause
'some problems.
Ow problem the Khool might encounter is the garage
might accumulate on the grounds. As junior Howard Chen
roled. "They (the administrators) want us to eat outside,
but a>l the garbage cam arc iniiile."
The lack of garbage cens u another problem the school
is facing. Many students do not want to bother carrying
all their wrappers and containers with them, so they just
leave them laying t">cnu the floor or put them inu* empty
lockc;*.
One major problem will be trying to enforce thr: rule
v hen it starts getting cold and rainy. Ca i this rule be enforced
when it rkint?
Fib tin admhi be will have to bend the rile when it rains,
but he would like the student* to en in the cafeteria or
in the breezeway, tfic covered walkway lietwecn ih^ gym
area and the outtidc beancry. when the vcaiher worsens.
The breezeway is a nice place to cat, but net wht-n it
rains. When the rains come, the tempcrabtrc usually tirop*
to about the mid 50s and sometimes the breezeway lives
up to its name by becoming very windy.
The cx.vpuon to the eating rule occurs only on bad
weather day*. *o 9 Mudent is violating 11 school ntle if
he or ihe is eating Li the building any other day. The
puRunmcnt so fnr for breaking the rult has been « lecture

Outlook for
Lowell mproves
with Cornejo
T>e past summer months have brought great change to
the San Fttncisco Unified School Disi-icl (SFUSD). This
ciunge has the potential to significantly improve Lowell
High School.
The change was initiated by the forced resignation of
Dr. Roiicrt Aliolo from the superuitcudcncy of the
SFUSU. Aliolo is being replaced for ooc year by Carlo*
Cornejo until a permanent sperimendem U appointed.
Tensions had been escalating in the district for month».
Private feud< between Board of Education members and
the former superintendent rapidly evolved into public battles
between board members.
Finally on July 24. it was announced that Alioto had
been fores) to resign, or face tn embarrassing contract
terminatbn.
Opposing Alioto were boaid members Ltbby
Denebeim, Rrsario Anaya. JoAnnc Miller, and Board
President Myra Kopf. Supporting the Ul-lated superinten-
dent were Richard Ccrtulos, Benjamin Tom. and Sodonia
Wilion.
Alioto had been criliciad for not providing quality
leadership as well ss dictating too much policy. In other
words, Alioto was charged with im'riiving on the board
of Education's domain.
Cornejo fas ignored rumors that he is simply a thirdarm
of Kopf. Yet such criticism lias y^ to be silenced.
The change of supcrinlendcnlt could be positive for
Lowell. Alioto was seen as not being particularly friendly
to Lowell and not being especially responsive to the
school's needs.
If such assumptions are true, Lov^ll could benefit from
the administrative change. It u tlic hope of The Lo*til
that the new superintendent will be more responsive to
Lowell's problems.
Comejo fhould view Lowrll for what it is. Lowell needs
more staff in the form of teachers, janitors, and
counselors. Lowell also needs more computed, a building
expansion, and improved athletic facilities.
Improvements now seem to be forthcoming. Three
years ago. a plan was supported by Aliolo and the Board
of Eduation to cipuid the Lowell Library. After yean
of delay, funds have finally been approved this year to
begin the much needed conjunction aM expansion.
However, this is only one aspen ol much needed improvement.
Conicjo must advance and propose new additions
and programs for Lowell. What Lowell dors not
need h an administration which ignores the special needs
of the city's only academic high school.
Comejo should fcpply the "ir it isn f t broken, don't Ta
it" maxim to Lowell. We do not need fUci. btn rather
improvements. After 130 yezrs it is obvious that Lowell
works and world very well.
The school district has just experienced some major
changes. If these changes do not result in improved education
for students, they will have been for naught. There
is optimism that the changes will improve the schools.
Lowell raj been short-changed for years. Now is the Sme
to start on the read I improved facilities, more study
space, additional teachers, and more support in improvinj
the isvructiooal program for nearly 3,000 collegebound
high school studenti.

Stop watering down our books!
One hopes that every Lowelliic can read. Not only read,
bin be able lo comprehend a leitbook written at his ow.»
grade level. Thank goodness die California Board of
Education has rciliied thai textbooks written for
"readability" do not behoove the education of a student
today..
The Board recently rejected every science textbook
written for seventh and eighth grades as being "watered
down" and guilty of "systematically omitting" full
discussions or evolution. Tut decision reverses a decadelong
tread to reduce the reading level of books to make
them prbtable for all students.
Biology teacher James Knerl said," there wn pressure
in tbj seventies to reduce the reading level. They watered
tens dewn. There is a tremendous diflerence in the level
of reading in the 1973 and i977 biology textbooks."
For example, from the 1973 edition of Modem Biology.
by Otto and Towle: "In gene mutation!, we find the basic
source of tarUfioas and Ux material for evolution."
From the 1977 edition, which Lowell students use in
Biology 1 tixl 2: "The most common mutations are gene
nutations. It is these gens mutations that vz the main
cause of the changes fc«ofted in evolution."
Students at Lowell preparing
for rigorous advanced education
need the challenge of well-written
material.
The simplicity of the 1577 book is a concern of Kncrl's.
"The book is very encyclopedic — it takes away an excitement
by including too much not essential detail."
Some textbooks purchased Tor use in all San Francisco
high schools end up at Lowell looking ridiculously staple.
Anne Wallach, a former Lc*cll English teacher,
sttted, "District selection cf books is very important.
Ttere is a range of low and high level achievement in
any dutrict," and particularly at Lowell, the books purchased
need to be written for ths high end of the achievement

Trc latest statistics show that
12,932 people htve contracted the
disease and 6.491 of them have died.
The disease has reached epidemic
pnvcrtions and is the number one
health issue of the decade.
Currently, tho most disputed hsue
of the AIDS cootro»my is whether
to admit children with AIDS into the
public school system. The most corn- -
nion ways which children get AIDS
is blood transfusions and from the
mother while still a fetus.

answered.
Another junior reacted dirTcrcntly.
"... The people »no are spreading

Ifone came to Lowell (AIDS victim)
I would stay as far away fmm him
as possible."
If a teenager •Hth AIDS were enrolled
in Lowell, Principal Alan
Fibuh would take careful measures.
"I would esk the School District to
appoint a pbysicisn to make Ihe juit;
meat on whether Ihe child was a»null)
contagious and whether there
was • danger to other cudentt. On
the basis of mat qualified opinion. I
would accept or refuse lo accept the
child."
Although nj one. as of yet. has
contracted the disease through saliva.
sweat, or tears, minute samples of the
AIDS virus have been found in the*:
substances, but these fluids are considered
to br Inw-mlc.
"/ wouldn't mind being their friend,
but I wouldn't want to touch them."
On Tuodsj. Scptebme- 10, In
Hew York, more thin 18,000 children
were kept from attending the
first day of school ry their panicstricken
parents.
"What you're seeing now in
school, Witt kids not going to school.
is hysteria." Dr. William Vitiello,
San Francisco's AIDS Prcventta
Program coordinator remarkc j.
T< i panic was caused by the annoo
Mircitf mad* by tcJwol official*
ti»M a 7-ycar-otd second grader with
AIDS would be attending tn anonymous
school.
The Queens School District in New
York is taking precautionary measures
to keep the child out c* school,
and until a decision is made, the second
grader will not be attending
regular classes.
Ooscr to home, la Carmcl. California,
an 8-ycarold third grader was
kept out of school because he has
AIDS.
The Camel Unified School District
stated that the chill would remain
at home v. ith s tutor for Ihe next
two months.
"We hope to raise the icvel of
awareness in Ihe community about
AIDS and avoid some of the hysteris
like wc'»e seen in New York." Carmel
Superintendent Robert lifclise
was quoted us saying.
San Francisco Unified School District's
policy on whether to allow
AIDS duldrer. in school is lo study
each case individually.
In San Francisco, five cans of children
with AIDS have been reported,
but no child has reached school age.
At Lowell, students were asked
what they tbought about having AIDS
victims attending their school.
One sophomore replied. "1
wouldn't mind being their friend, but
1 wouldn't want lo touch them."
For the most pan. Lowell students
were well informed en AIDS. "I
think that kids should be allowed to
attend school because no one I've
heard of has ever caught it (AIDS)
from anything but sot. Wood tramfu-

the many obvious stylistic differ*

enccs between poetry and the short

Also, where they are many different

there a e no specific classifications of
short stories.

Thus fat this year, from Julv I

Along with the iforciewwocJ remnval

of recurring graffiti, thv. *fi jty of the
paint work b reduced, and painting
must be done more often than would
othrrwuc be necessary.
Having been unable to find a solution
to the problem, Fibish decided
to offer "a highly coveted award" to
the studrnt who could provide infjfnutinn
leading to the arrest and conviction

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

easily identified as those who
hang around on the second floor,

their population have bczn diagnosed

courtyard
By David Katzmkon
When ihc smolcr from it.' buntt fooj
from the cafeteria diuipatcs. an area or
Ihc &=ltool is uncovered which many
Lottdl students call "Home."
This place is commonly knnwn as the
Middle Counyard. deriving its name
from its location at the center or
Lowell's cainpus. The Middle COJItyard
is an area where students o( any
grade may meet for lunch, to duruss
political topics, or to cram for one of
John Bluett's chemistry tests.
The Middle Courtyard, like a
township, is divided into certain areas:
the freshman tax. the sophomore
ledge, the junior benches.
Tie KTiors, during yean past,
represented a high percentage of the inhabiuus
of the Middle Cov-Ty-ud.
Their section of the courtyard was called
the "jock hench" for in members,
wno were well-known athletic personalities
like Mike Zimmerman, Flic
Bolhelo and Richard Weeks.
Now the seniors arc virtually nonexistent
in the courtyard's population.
It is very rare that members from different
classes intermingle during mod<
12 through 16. which is the time when
the Middle Courtyard it most
populated.
Certain freshmen, who wish to remain
anonymous, claimed that, one
day, a few junior* kicked them off of
the junior bench.

Student government has weathered
problems in the past. For example.
elections have been plagued with low
voter turnout. Another example took
place four yean ago when one officer

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

Jewish students feel discrimination
Conservjiivc Jewish students celebrate font h1id:i>%

whjji puts them at gnrai disadvantage in ihcir clasps.

Simhat Tcraii. ail occur within the firsi i*n months ol
the school year, m i:.ij>orum p.tn of academic cla*w*.
Many Jewish students cannot
attend some school events
such as dances because Sabbath
lasts firm sundown on
Friday to sundown on
Saturday.
Consc. valise Jews cclchnite all finjr hoi it to) i, but SOIDC
lon-orttuKlnx Jews do not celebrate the last two becusc
they arc .I'rai.i to mus tot^ much v:bt«ot.

Most teachers try lo compensate for the boltdays by giving

On the othrr hand, some tfilters do .iot twlp tlic
students bccani^ Jews arc a minority at Lowell and most
other schools und teocliers cannot ciangc their sclwdulcs
just for a few studrr.ts
School events are also a problem. This vcar. the junior
spirit day was scheduled on the i-mic day as Yom Kipour,
which prevented some studenti from participating
in their class's activities.

The Sabbath it denned as a day of res*, during which
everything revolves around religious activities. No
modern coitvcnitrxcs. such as the telephone, ma> t> us-
ed and the cclebntiors may not have -my ncn-rcligiims
appointmcnis.
Tliis ouves a great problem for students who wish to
attend dances or service projects, which generally- occur
during Friday pi^hi HKI Saturday.
Sonictlmi^s mis also affects eligibility rcquirenxrnt* for

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

Money isakey word in the world of business: it tikes noncy to

Run Holdstein, president or Payday. The Payroll Company, affirmed.
"I've seen people going into business, but they don'l understand
the business, and they find out that it takes more money and time
than when they first started out."
Often tints, money is a strong reason for one's choosing to pursue
a career in business. Tom chose to start his own business because
he feii Out it was the "...most efficient way of making money."
However, making money should not be the sde motive. Holdslein
opened his business "...not to just make money, but to wo* for myself
and work -*ith people I like — that motivation (uiiiing money) al jnc
rrwy not carry you through."
Holdstein added lha: in order fo* orie to go into business, one must
have the ability to Mick it out until ox mates a t«ofit.
According to Holdstein. starting any business is ''...risky...there's
no guarantee of success." acd small business owners have it the
hardest usually.

For those who are witling to take the ri'k. Tom recommended,
"One needs a good, basic business education (marketing, management,
finance) as well as good psychology classes and sociology."
Turn stressed that when in business, one is in a "...constant lemming

process." "Success is a process of change. You have w become a
different person. It's one thing to hare ten people working for you
and then have ten people working under those people "
Education is important. However, as a Harvard business graduate
stated. "My degree wasn't a ticket to nirvana, but rather to a way
of life that could be as difficult as it mi rewarding Hut came with
demands as well as privileges."
A career in business demands a lo* fran a person. Tom said. "Time
management is different now." He uually doss not leave Ihs office
until nine o'clock and still has to bring his wort: home with him.
Tom added that one of the hardships of owning a business is
"...keeping Irak of the busing*?. As it grows, it changes a lot." On
Tom'j desk lies a plaque that reads, "I used to be disgusted, now
1 get amused," a philosophy that he's learned lo live by.
For Holdslein, "...the hard pait is to figure out what the market
wants..-to know the marketplace, who you're serving and why."
Having a role in Ihe world of finance is glamorous and is often
looked upon as the epitome of success in America. The public knows
tlie stereotypical bus-mspcrson — a mwi in a pin-striped, three-piece
suit who drives a Mcrccdcs-Bcn/. or a woman sharply dressed in a
business suit who drives a Jagotr. Or if the person is a chief executive,
he or she has a chauffeur and a Rolls Roycc. Before one srts his mind
on owning a business though, and having all the benefits that come
along with being successful, he should remember that success does
not come easy and LNa- success is not the Most common outrome.

The secrets of
Procrastination
By Betsy Mcocnkh
Many people :aJ to rcognuc procrastination
Tor the wonderfully
useful an which it actually is.
Procrastination. * la World fl^,l
DioiMvy. is "ihe act «ir habit ot pittics
thinp ofTuntil later." However,
thb limited definition docs no* do
justice to ihe Art of Procnuiiiution.
which ts essentially, "the ability to
save a considerable amount or time,
and meanwhile have time in which to
enjoy oneself, by careful!/ leaving
the completion of a uik until (he
ultimate opportunity."
Procnstlnatkm. the most jseful of
all am. is alvo probably the easiest
lo nuurr. While otter arts require
wne form of talent, almost anyone
has the potential to become a truly
(real procrastinalor. And even the
mcM amateur prucrastinator yets immense
enjoyment out or pranking.
Hbtnoedly, the mo»( skilled procnttinaton
have been persecuted and
labelled as "lazy" or "lacking in
motivation." People have repmied
their procrastinatory desires in
response to the severe pressure of
their societies which brainwashed
them into believing that procrastination
was *n evil. Even in modern
society, the prejudice against procnutinators
often become* apparent.
For cumpl;, studies thaw that titf
more practiced a person is in this an.
the leu likcl* be is to be able 10 retain
employmeni.
This time of the >car is one in
which procrastination » often
diwuucd. Mmy rfclicu!^** people
resolve that fw the New Year they
will not procrastinate any lon|cr.
These people aic simply ignorant.
Unable to think ofanoriginel resolution,
they choice procrastination
since they (eel avturcd that it is a
socially acceptable resolution to

u one of the main processes
by which we arc able to enjov
life to the fullest.
Imagine if you had an important
>uignmcnt whkh absolutely had to
be turned in on Friday, and you
started working on it on Monday.
Throughout the week, you would
spend many hours doing the task and
going over it and correcting it.
However, ifvou start it on Thursday
evening at nine o'clock, you invariably
finish it in an hour or two.
And during the week you have much
free time to spend nlczsurahly.
Hot Tver, some people allow their
whole lives to be ruled by their desire
lo leave things off until utterly the I ut

addicts. These people arc moit easily

they arc the ones whh the bbek rings

people who >l3»ugc UK rcpuutioii of

At the other end of the pn«ra»&»»lion
vecrtrum arc the pcoj»' c who
never procrastinate. It is physically
irnriiuible for them to leave a rctpon*
sibuMy until OK last minute. They are
lekmlesily driven to cwrplete things
as foon ai pouiblc. These are the
people who. when no assignment i*
given, take home their books and ac- .
tually STUDY them anyway. (A
semi-procnutirator would take them
home and then leave them in hit
backpack all night. A true pnv
craslinator would leave them in his
locker until iic absolutely needs
them.) Tfcj non-procrastinaior n l\»r

The non'procrastinator is beennv

society. However, thi* minority U
often givrn unfair advantages. For
example, trrr average person of thiv
t>-pc does far better in «chu« J than tSc
procrastinMuM>pc. Does thb not indicate
a prejudice against the pn>
crasttnator in the school setting?
Maybe someday all nonpwcrauiiutors

Teenage prostitution:
it's an increasing problem

"1 had to learn thathaving sex with

But why do so mar./ young women
and men desire thii kind of life? Is
it supposed to be fur and glamoroui
'and ifflcr lomcthinc that a "stnuxht"

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

a customer is something totally different
from making love to someone you really
care about'*
people doa't know me. Chicago.
New York. T b is just for now."
All acrou the United States, this
cycle has beca observed.
The number of teenage prostitutes
is escalating, and undemanding why
kids are on the streets b almost as
complex as figuring out how to get
them off. It b very hard to tell kids
who are earning $300 a night to go
to Burger Kiuj and make S3.35 an
hour.
The main reason that teiiu^en
prostitute Is for the money. The
reason for Deeding ibe money can
range fmm a drug addkiton tn supporting
a sick relative.
But money U no longer the only
factor. Some kids actually rave a
misconception about prostitution.
They think of it as something that is
fun and exciting.
Regardless of why teenagers head
for the street, there is a big diff.-renor
between what they find there and
what they expected to find.
Many wind up u. hig cities, most
notWy Hollywood.

prostitutes' tertices) on the streets

This information wus then
tubulated by kjomputer, and thOK

Most students were cidtej and
eager to get their results and were
perfectly willing u pay a dollar for

wouldn't wail for my lut. I thought
it would be fun to find out. When 1

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

By Era Fcsta
"Beliew in yourself!" the teachers of our lodcty tdl us, from ihc bc»innins
of our educations onwaid. "Believe in God. bdievc in the American
wiy. believe b vour pet joWfuh. believe in wmdhlnt!"
Bet what tbout uv«e who don't believe to anything? .
The term for this particular viiion of the univene. "exKtcntiaUsrn",
wit invented is 1933 by Jean-Paul 5a.trc, a French philosopher.

In addition, the existentialist questions atouacUons, »uch as love, or
hate. "What is a rc&iooship?" he asks. An important concept of thh
theory a to not tale anything for (ranted. We rre taught that we are
"ttUicd" to our relative*, but If no inner bead exists tcrwecn mother

Students deserve

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

bums refused to conrrvni on the Mtuation.
This concession folloursj a wrck of iinplca%antncs.s durtns
which Bums refused stuJcnts* petilions to liold Uie
datkx in the gym. iven -vith the SAB's assunuxc that the
gym would be Kt up for hlngo attcr the dance.
The dance *-as held tn the gym. and bingo wai held
r.u Saturday. In (act. S\B members set up the bingo equip*
men? so fast that Bums offered to hire them as regular
workers. "Vcs. ihc situation is improving." noted
Government officers were upset over what they sens*
*;d as a "lac 1. of cooperative spirit" between MntL'nl
goveinmcnt and ihis special fundraisini! group, and cited
Hibish er.pl*tncd. "Whit begins ar. a canng. custodial

EDITORIALS.
Subbotnik
revisited
Recently, the United Press Irtenutional Syndicate
repotted that million* of Russian citizens took to the streets
10 clean up their cities as pan of o nationwide Subbotnik
or "Red Saturday," a day of unpaid labor given to the
stale in honor of Lenin's birthday.
We at Lowell wrcly do not have to honor Lenin's birth,
but the idea of a clean-up day has merit. It is lime for
someone to assume some leadership. Lowell is a disgrace!
The LOWELL has published many editorials anJ articles
dealing with the ptoblem of cleanliness around the campus.
Writers have often alluded 1 to the school's "di"*encrusted
windows" and "littered railways*' and 10 "the
graffti strewn all over the walls."
We at Lowell surely do not
have to honor Lenin *s birth, but
the idea of a clean-up day has
merit.
People often complain about ilicse problems, but no one
ever offers any suggestions for rtmcdi itiun. The stafT of
The LOWELL bclV.vcs it is tirr ; to lake some action.
We would like to oifcr a suggvjtinn or idea that might
help 10 end the problem. Why not set aside a day each
year, or better yet eve-y semester, to give the school a
thorough cleaning?
On "clean-up day," floors would i«v *.-bocd and waxed;
walls would be washed down with detergent; windows
would be washed inside *ind out. graffliicd areas would
be repainted; and the rcsm*om> would be cleaned. If
neccssrry a dry could be added to t'tc school calendar to
accommodate this activity.
A committee of students representing each of the four
years could be selected as a steering or organizing committee-
Work crews could be organized according to
registries, each with specifically assigned tasks, thcrcb}
maintaining accountability and control over the project
The necessary equipment (Lidde.-s. floor cleaners, paints,
etc...) could be rented in advance MI that work could begin
first thing in the morning on "clran-up day."
Three thousand students
working together with some enthusiasm
and leadership could
accomplish a great deal in one
day.
To give the day a festive air rather than one of burdensome
obligation, entertainment could Le pro* ided by the
school's various mi'sicU ensembles anj po-sibly even
some outside talents. In the evening a d**nce cou'd he
thrown in the newly cleaned ccmer counyuM av a just
reward for (he hardworking students.
Three thousand smJents working together with some
enthusiasm and leadership could accomplish a great deal
in one day. A rcgulnr project like this wocld do much
to stimulate school pride and spirit, rwd it would give the
students an incentive to keep the school clean on a dayto-day
!»3!«.
We encourage the a&simstration to consider a major
school clean-up project such as thU one. Also, we en*
' courage the students to get involved and to submit any
of their owa iusgestions that might help to solve ihc
cleanlinc*! oroblcm at Lowell. After all. It is our schcvl.
Keep bathrooms clean!
Insure educational progression
Many students a«xl teacher* hated Groyaphy. .so it was
dropped aid a courv: in World Civilization* *va* created.
This is an example of j curriculum change spurred by
the people the c\s%% affected. It is only right fcr Mudcnt*
and icj_i,,.r\ to have a direct .wy in curriculum mattrr*.
LowcM's curriculum is reviewed every seven yew* in
accordance with accreditation standards. However. such
curricnlutn revtrw i> general. There is no in w:hcolfornul
review of specific class curriculum.
This is j flagrant mistake in the educational res icw program
in the school district.
The San Fn*nci>eo and State of California boards A(
Education determine educational goals for schools a\ well
is specific ecucjtional requirements. In adJitinn. there
arc textbook review commitico and academic review
comrumec* on both the local and Mate level.
But there is no formal curriculum review at Lowell.
Specific teacher* can review CIAVN content with their
department members, but there is no formal administrative,
faculty, or student critique of curriculum.
77H* Ltiwttf believes that Curriculi-m Review Commit-
•ccs should be established for cvc»y claiv Such cummi .tec*
would provide, ai m» cmt, an easy and effective mat c
ner 'o review a clasps and its content.
A teacher and one of the pupiU could review the content
of that particular class. Their separate and confidential
reports could be submitted lo the department head.
He, in tum. would review the report* and either implement
the suggestions or forward the reports to the assistant
principal for curriculum and instruction. Suggestions
could be implemented at this level, or submitted for further
review by the school district.
The actaiiustration should devise a questionnaire which
investigates the ove^ll content subject das-es. This form
could ruve short answer questions about subject matter.
textbooks, and method of instruction.
Students could analyze if the subject nvner is appropriate,
challenging, interesting, ami useful if: the
f. JTC. Students could examine textbooks for adequate information,
beneficial example*, and intercsi-level.
Thr questionnaire could also provide students with the
opp»>i lunity to conMructivcly criticize the teacher'* method
of infraction. The Icsel of icMing, faimeu^t v^^fS*
use of visual jid« and ime rot in vihjcci prescntawn
qrjld all be evaluated.
4< 77?e level of testing, fairness
of grading, use of visual aids,
and interest in subject presentation
could all be justly investigated.''
Faculty members should also have the opportunity to
comment oti tnc content of their ck_~:. Whether the subject
ruttcr is adequate and challenging to students,
whether textbooks are interesting and informative, and
whether the prescribed curriculum is appropriate fo. current
students deserve faculty input.
Nobody knows better than students and lacnen how
curriculum is preparing snidenu for the future. The adoption
of such a formal Curriculum Review Committee
would insure that at Lowell, education will continually
be progressing, nthcr than staying at a particular level.

an "evil and dangeruui nudmaa."
The principal rtxton for this image
of Khadafy b that evidence snows
Khadafy yipporu and trains terrorists,
evidence that has been term-
ed by the Reagan Administration as
conclusive and indupuuWc.
Khadafy. who gained power in
1969, envisions a united Arab world
and has put forth his ideas in the three
volume Grrtn Book, modeled after
Mao-tie Tung's UtU Red Book. He
views violence and terrorism as a

Fighting terror
with terror -
will it ever stop?
By Ann Liu
Only lime will tell if the American bombing of Libya will actually
help stop terrorism. For now, the majority of Amc.icarn
support President Ronald Reagan's decision. Yet, in the future,
will the effect of this attack do more haim than good?
Many leaders ofFuropeancounit>supicu fears that Khadafy
will seek vengeance for the air strikes MI t£yu. nircau;, two
weeks ago, two kidnapped Briions and one kidnapped American
were found dead in the outskirts of Beirut.
The ymup claiming responsibility for the slaying* of the two
Briions. Leigh Douglas and Philip Padfictd. atid American, Peter
Kilbom of Berkeley, California, calls itself the Arab Revolutionary
Cells, a group believed lo be linked to Abu Nidal.
"...the existence of terrorist
groups within the United States is still
uncertain."
After trying; economic sanctions and public condemnation,
Reagan .noved lo bomb Libya, and in doing so, showed Libya lhat
America will not tolerate terrorism.
Reagzn's retaliation can be amsidrrcd justifiable, for now: but
maybe Reagan failed to realize what might result fr< m the attack.
Perhaps be was so infuriated because of the continued terrorism
thzt he did not consider the fact that many innocent lives will continue
to be laa.
The only apparent reason for attacking Libya was revenge for
the bombing of the LaBelle discotheque, a disco frequented by
American GU. Hob>a. Tbc*< w*cr. arc considered
international, and they had '•.very
right to be in lh»e water*.
This aiucl was to warn Khadafy
of the practice of the U.S. Sixih
Fleet iJid to admonish his support of
terrorist activities.
Khadafy wemed untaunted: the
hwnhtng of tiie La Belle Diwothcquc
in West Berlin left two dead and 110
injure.!. Once again, evidence pointed
•j> 1 ibyant u perpetrator* of the act.
East Germany had appeared to let
the Ubyan plotters, who were
ordered to bomb an undisclosed
target by the Libyan People's
Bureau, into West Berlin; western
intelligence had known about the
"plan" H»t had acted "15 rpiiKjio
too late ' to save the discotheque.
Even wftile the Berlin cue was being
investigated, other Libyan terrorin
plou werr uncovered — France
expelled (wo Libyan diplomau
because of unpccied terrorist plans.
President Reagan conferred with
U>p cabinet members and a decision
to act agauui Ub>a was reached.
There was a delay between the decilion
a go ahead with the strife and
the atuck it*clf in order to plan Uic
strike, obtain maximum firepower
and «ck Allied support.
President Reagan had hoped that,
in the case of toughrr economic and
politics! sanx.kxn agreed upon by the
Allies, the attack might have been
called off. It was not.
At approxinotely 7 o.ir. EST on
April 14, U.S. Navy A-6E. A-7E and
Air Force FB-111 bombers swooped
down on their targets In and around
the Libycn cities of Tripoli and
Benghui. Targets included airfield!,
suspected terrorist training camps,
miliury installations, ard the El-
Azziziya Barracks, the compound
where Khadafy and his fj. tily lived.
The strike had been carried out by
planes from the carriers in the
Mediterranean and from airbasrt in
Erf land. The FB-t IU from England
had to fly an ewra 2800 nautical miles
around France and Spain because
those countries would not allow the
use of their airspace for the strike.

of Tripoli and the d*t.;agcd
foreign embassies, which analysts
suggested might have been caused by
misguided Libyan anti-aircnfl
missiles.
Two of Khadafy's sons were injured,
and his adopted baby daughter,
Hana. was reportedly killed In the
strike.
Khadafy vowed revenue and pro*
miscd LJDTC terrorist attacks against
the Americam and those w ho opposed
him.
Fallout irom the atuck followed
swifUy. AHic* bad doubts ahoui the
effectiveness of the attack and feared
further escalation of tcnoru.n in
Western Eurojw.
The Bntish criticized Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher for
allowing British atrbaves to be stag*
ing arcai for the strike. Thuchcr.
who herself stated in January Uur a
stride aeaimt Libya would surety
cause more chaos, defended the
American action as one o( "self-
strike showed an astoauhuis 77 percent
approval rate, compared with a
previous high of 56 percent.
Many critics of the atuck have
pointed out :hat such an attack would
not change Khadafy*s policies;
rather. •* would further his cause in
uniting the Arabs, which is wttal is
hspoening — the Arab nations have
protested th-r Urrtod State* attack on
Libya.
There is also a question of why
Libya was choten as the target when
countries such «s Syria and Iran arc
also training and supporting
terrorists.
It U obvious that one such suike
will not eliminate terrorism, and the
Reagaa Administration u now faced
with retaliating yftcr every act of terrorism
or not acting by force vjizz:
a tcrrorisi supporting nation.
Representative Robert Mkhd of Illinois
characterized the present situation
in the following way:
"We are in a war. It b a new kind
of war. It is a termott wir. We are
going over the thrcshhold; we arc
ploughing new ground, and we have
to think what conies neM."
It appears that the tonfliu between
the U.S. and Ubya b far from over.
and it U likely to become worse
before it jcti better.

BSCS
By Linda Chan
In 1972 the Board of Scboo 1 .and
Community Service^ (BSCS). une of
Lowell's newest student government
boards, was founded.
Before that time, student pntrnmen!
gave little notice lo the wide
variety of clubs on campus.
The main function of the BSCS is
to oryinue clubs and coordinate activities
thai deal with helping the cemmuttity
and the school.
The board it made up of representatives
from the many dubs, honor
societies, and service group*.
Clubs are steadily getting Utunper
in doing service project*. In the pa*t
they have provtikd services from
painting flagpoles to volunteering in
htnpitali.
•The clubs have done well in
aiding the school. Ncit year we will
try to help tlic community more."

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

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

Seniors find cost
of living too high
By Betsy Merzeakh
They say 'hat being a high school senior it a btccxe.
but they never mention how expensive air can tc.
The senior ''car of one's high school career is a very
financially unsound one. Of course, seniors are luppo5cd
to be done with school by mod 10. and ought
to have plenty of spore time lo get employed and get
rich, but it never scents to work out quite thai **y.
Senior portraits — whai w great idea! The clever person
who thought this idea up b one rich guy right now.
Let's buy ONE 'hid, take pictures of a lot of people
[•I it, pats around the word tnai giving out pictures of
yourself is i cool thing to do before ) ou graduate, and
charge big bucbL for them.
The smullest Yearbook Associate* picture package
costs around 550. that's half of a hundred dolUis worth
of pictures of YOU (and you don't even get a com*
plcmentary little Mack comb). And that package gives
you nine wallet size pictures. Who has only nine
friends?
T!tc extra wallets are a steal at SS each (this price
i» wii!wut the infamous Florentine Finish which makes
the pictures just blurry enough so that you cannot; see
the sUn blemishes). One nay also purchase a 16x20
vail-size portrait for the low price of $79.95 (or. for
the same price, you may have a professional tnist
COME TO YOUR HOME and pal.* a poruait of you)
Senior Panoramic Picture fiives an opportunity to
fork over S10 for a big picture of a bunch of procle,
most of whom you don't even know. But hey. one of
thine smiling: people (the one with his cjc. closed?)
it you.
How about JOSTENS? Aren't rmmonolics outlaw*
ctl in this country? Didn't large ituncMiKtc rings go out
of Mylc Mmitwh-sre around filth grade? Aren't high
school senion offended at the catalog of precious gifts
which this company tries to entice them with?
How about that Miniature Diploma? Boy. wouldn't
tlv.t Ionic nice on a college Jorm wall fur only 53.50?
Thee is Mime brilliant fcrwn. working for JoMcn*
who figured out a way to nakc senior* mink that git •
ing out small *vhitc buVincjA cards lo all of their friends
Ls a neat thing to dt>. Think about it. So ynu have a
collection of 75 card* witli your friends* names primal
on the fiont: what are VOJ going to do with them? Oh,
that's right, their addrrstes, phone numbers, and c^l*
!egcs are printed on the back. If you didn't know this
information in die fim pbec, why do you need it now?
But JostcnN best tricl ts the way they rutndlc the cap
and gown purchases. Seniors order them without
knowing the price. It w 11 be announced at a later date.
A week before graduation, thU company could charge
$100 for these satin sacl a. Who would complain? Does
anyone want to be the ONLY person at grac&ation not
wearing a cap and gown? And what about these JUM-
BO tassels nnyway — U anybody really going to wear
one of those horses* tails at the actual graduation
ceremony itself?
During senior year, * social life is quite expensive
also. Of course, one must go out to lunch everyday
to maintain m laid-back image. When Mom and Dad
used to pay for you' sustenance, ti never seemed quite
so expensive. Friday and Saturday nights at home are
obviously a social no-no, and. unfc>nunatcly, nothing's
free in the big city. As a nutter of fact, seniors arc
expected to go out on school nights also, to keep up
their "What me. work?" image. All this ad-ti up to
big money in small time.
There are quite a few requisite dances in the senior
year. Senior Boat Dance (this on* * jsts Mccp, too) plus
Winter Ball plus Scrior From add UD to three overrated
nights of big spending.
Probably the most surprising COM is the traditional
Senior Picnic. When you think of n picnic, don't you
think of t bunch of people getting together for a nice
CHEAP afternoon of sun and frisbee? All yru need
is a towel ind sotne food, right? No. rumor is. the
Senior Picnic costs 515.00 this year. Must be servinv.
T'Bone Steaks and champagne, ch?
Lou of students take AP tests senior year. Arc they
»»lly paying $50 to take a TEST? Whit's wrong with
this picture?
However, while senior year may be expensive, all
there is to lock forward to W next year, wlicn even
books and scboo 1 cost money.

Let'i begin 1M.1 month's edition of School Dazr with the Tint •
annual "Joke of the Month." This month's joke was submitted
by senior Mike Susor: "Did you hear about the ccllcge coed who
took couises in sado-masochism?" "She got good marks!" Ha.
ha. ha.
Opening day for the San Francisco Giann was a bad day all
around For botii the players and the fans: the team lost to the
Houston Astros «•?. However, it was an even worse day for the
part-time senior, ,1,'rt-time hot dog vendor Toby Sltgtl. An irate
fan, not knowing where to place his frustration, decided to take
it out on the innocent Siegel. While returning 10 his scat, following
the seventh inning Jtrctth. the fan hit his haul on Sicgcl's hot
dog bin. Before Siegel could say. "Gel your red-hots." the [an
was in Siegcl's face yelling and kicking him. Keeping hi< cool,
the yocng vendor walked away from the Uuident. Well, let's just
say that fan is going to have a tough time getting the mi ulard staitn

Lowell's Vyoi drive proved itself to be quite an experience for

What type of person would give a

cents? (These of you who need a
cheup way to get to the prom, this article
i* for you!)
No, t>e answer isn't a con-artist
nor a limousine driver — it's our
friendly MUNI bus driver.
For rhose of us who must take imu
transit to school in the wee hours of
the morning, ihe brown-clad man cr
woman, sitting at the wheel of the

a morning schedule.
It seems the days you'dn* cm tune,
the bus driver arrives on lime — but
the few lime* that >ou'rc 1-ne, the but
b nowhere in sight.
If you're "lucky" enough to be
given the opportunity to crush both
yourself and an overstuffed backpack
onto the already crowded bus. the
driver wilt iavarisbly utter. "Step up
and keep moving to the back of the
coach! I know there's room back
there!"
Ones on Ac bus. the driver will
wair until every single person b safely
behind the yeUow lines marked on the
floor. Meanwhile you * m hyperventuatia
{ because you arc going to have
* big math lest that morning and it's
late enough as it b.
After the ride finally staru. you
begin to doubt ihe skills of the driver
at the wheel as he screeches around
sru.p crrners, stops suddenly at stop
tights, and comes frightaiingly close
to pancd cars.
Sometimes in the middle of the
duo*, the d-ivcr may get out of the
Month; '*-«. Johnny receive? a

reads between the lines for what lies

He sees that Johnny pUys druna in

continue music in college. He sees
that Johnny it most interested in ha

any \amptes of h*s work.
Kirk is impressed with Johnny's

The sprint team too has endured

There b*s been controversy surroundikg
the loss of these fivr strong
runners. Wibon explained that the
reason the runners left w» primarily
outside activities. WiUon did not
cut the members from the team, but
informed them, "If • penon docsa'l

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

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

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

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

as close as a student community as some schools whose
makeup is more homogeneous. Or course. Lowell's large
sac contributes signiikanUy to the tendency Tor the community
to break down into subgroups, which in many
cases hardly know or inwact with each other. In any case
events like the Kcrmeue do much to r£set and mitiga^

. . .the real benefit of- the
Kermesse transcends diversion

THE LOWELL applauds and expresses gratitude on
behalf of the entire community to the students, teachers
and staff members who give their time every year • J this
