Box CETo The Editor:

The recent fiasco concerning theviolations of the rush rules by theSigma Nu fraternity has had sev-eral negative effects upon the Greeksystem. The guilt or innocence ofthe Sigma Nus was replaced as themain issue by the question of au-thority - the authority of the In-terFraternity Council in particu-lar, and the authority of all studentorganizations in general.

Had a strict reading of the rushrules been used, the Sigma Nu fra-ternity would have had their quotareduced to 45 men, limiting themto one pledge this year. An al-ternative punishment, limiting theirquota at 60 men, allowing them sixpledges, was decided upon. In thisthe IFC showed lenience. The votesfor both conviction and the alter-nate punishment were unanimous,so it was obviously not a case of agroup "ganging up" to get the Sig-ma Nus.

The matter was then brought be-fore the Dean of Students, who de-cided rather than to affirm the au-thority of the IFC in this matter, toturn it over to the SRC. The SRCdecided not to hear the case, andthe matter should have endedthere.

However, it was decided that analternate punishment should bedrawn up, showing even morelenience toward the Sigma Nus.This proposal was submitted to thesix fraternities and voted on. Thesevotes were then presented to the

"It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three un-speakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and theprudence never to practice either." Mark Twain

IFC appellate board. The resultswere a 4-2 vote against the alter-nate punishment.

The Dean of Students office thendecided once again to bring thematter before the SRC, which over-turned the IFC decision and impos-ed the alternate punishment.

The effect of this has been tocompletely undermine the authorityof the IFC. What the Dean of Stu-dents office seems to be saying isthat, if one student authoritarianbody makes a decision that goesagainst the wishes of the Dean ofStudents office, they will change thecriteria upon which the decisionwas based and bring it before an-other such body in order to obtaina favorable decision. This does notbode well for any organization oncampus.

If the IFC is not recognized asthe disciplinary authority on inter-fraternity matters, why should thestudent body recognize the juris-diction of any other student disci-plinary authority on campus?

It is my personal opinion that theauthority of the InterFraternityCouncil has been so seriously erodedby these actions that it no longerhas any effective jurisdiction overinterfraternity matters. Because ofthis lack of authority, it might bejust as well for the IFC to disband,as a free-for-all situation has al-ready been created.

Sincerely,A. J. Pantuso

To The Editor:What's your campus coming to

when a visitor parks in a visitor'sparking space and still gets a ticketfrom security???

Yes, this is another letter aboutparking tickets, but this one's froma recent alum. I know that I'vebeen on campus a lot lately, andsome of you may think I'm stillthere but I'm not. I really thoughtthat a car that "shows no regis-tration" and was "parked in visi-tors parking" would seem to sug-gest that the car actually belongedto a visitor. Obviously my "visitor"car was in a "visitors driving red,American made cars with Missis-sippi tags" rather than "visitorswith grey, foreign jobs registeredin Tennessee."

Actually, I wouldn't even men-tion it if this was my only ticketsince graduation, but it's the sec-ond in my last few visits. (Seemskind of strange that I could makeit through four years at SAMwithout receiving one ticket, butthen should get two after gradu-ation.)

Don't worry folks, I'm not up-set. I've seen a few of the articlesin the last few issues and thoughtI'd let you know that Southwest-ern students are not the only peo-ple getting tickets.

Sincerely,James W. Sanders, Jr.Class of 1983

Editorial

The Question of Campus ArtOf late, some confusion has

arisen on campus over what, ex-actly, is "art." Hesitant to over-step my bounds, I'll leave thediscourse on aesthetic principles toDr. Jobes. However, I thought itmight perhaps be helpful to clar-ify some issues relating to "cam-pus art" in light of the campus"In-security" incident.

Shortly after this incident oc-curred, I had a discussion with oneof the participants, during whichwe pored over the SRC Handbook.I was personally familiar with thispublication, as I had found myselfin another, quite similar positionafter having decorated the geo-desic dome with balloons last Feb-ruary. No apparent fault could befound with their actions.

I then approached Colonel Mc-Quown regarding this matter dur-ing a chance encounter in theDean of Students office. He con-tended that all campus art pro-jects fall under the jurisdictionof the art department and musttherefore be approved in advanceby Lon Anthony.

I'm sorry, Colonel, but this sim-ply not the case. Granted, it wouldwould be nice to have facultybacking, particularly in a case.such as this, where there is a con-flict of interest, but it is hardly aprerequisite. Besides, one of themost fundamental principles of ex-pressing creativity is the freedomto be spontaneous.

Still, in an effort to make stu-dents more aware of both theirlimitations and rights regardingcampus art under the SRC con-stitution, the policy is reprintedhere from the SRC Handbook. Itreads as follows:

"Any campus art project bystudents can remain in place for

i-6 FREE DONUTS i* (With purchase of a dozen) I

A*DI 1776-/Union Ave.

Memphis, TN.

DUNKIN' uDONUTS II oI

72 hours if it is labeled, timed,dated, and signed by the artists.If not removed by the artists bythe end of the third day, it canbe altered by another studentartist, and that altered work canremain in place under the sameabove stated conditions for 48more hours. The orginal artists orthose artists of the altered pieceare responsible for the removalat the end of the stated protectedperiod. Only one alteration isallowed for each original workof campus art. No work of artmay be obstructive, nor can itdeface campus property."

At this point, one stumbles intothe conflict of personal interpre-tations of the words "obstructive"and "deface." It is quite plausiblethat, initially, the poster mighthave been mounted on the SecurityHut in such a way as to obstructone's view; it certainly did notliterally or physically obstruct any-thing else. Surely, had this been thecase, the situation could have been.brought to a mutually satisfactoryconclusion.

One here encounters the samesort of logic that might argue thatthe trash bags obstructed the con-crete balls of the LeMaster gate-way from view, which further re-minds me of an incident this sum-mer in which a tree at a localbank disappeared mysteriously oneevening after Prince Mongo com-plained that it blocked his viewas he sat in line at the drive-inwindow.

The question then arises, atwhat point does the garbage bag,or poster, or whatever, begin todetract from, rather than contrib-ute to, the appearance of thatwhich it may temporarily obstruct.Again, a problem to be left fordiscussion in aesthetics class.

Next, one chances upon the va-ried interpretations of the word"deface": Noah Webster and hiscolleagues define it as meaning"destroy or mar," with the un-

questionable implication of perma-nence. The latter quality is espe-cially worth noting in light of the72-hour limit which the studentbody imposed upon itself throughits elected representatives. And Se-curity had no reason to suspectthat these students would not com-ply with this regulation. Therefore,the actions taken by Security per-sonnel were unwarranted.

Another incident which. mighthave created more attention re-cently had the artists, whoeverthey may have been, not used wa-ter soluble paints when adding asplash of color to Dr. Diehl'sstatue. Unfortunately, no credit wasclaimed for the project (under-standably), and it was removedimmediately. The fact remains,however, that this was the case,and no permanent damage wassustained.

In this regard, the students hereare mature, responsible adults and.would not intentionally destroysomething that would ultimatelyhave to be paid for by each of us;besides, a $70,000.00 "dorm" dam-age assessment would be a littlemuch for the student body to as-sume.

One point which does favor Se-curity is the inclusion of the word"taste" in the definition of art.Although philosophical in natureand not applicable in a strict read-ing of the SRC's campus art regu-lations, it is self-evident that trueart should not be slanderous or in-sulting.

Ultralights Renew Man's Oldest DreamNAG'S HEAD, N.C. - Like Mos-

lems making their pilgrimage tothe Black Rock of Mecca, thou-sands of Americans converge everyyear on nearby Kitty Hawk and amonument built to the Mohammedsof manned flight, the Wright broth-ers. Eighty years after the firstself-propelled flight, only the mostjaded take flying for granted.

But the spirit of Wilbur and Or-ville is alive and well several milessouth, on the towering dunes over-looking this windswept Outer Banksvillage. There, strapped to artifi-cial wings in the fashion of prim-itive air pioneers, hang-glider en-thusiasts run against the oceanbreeze every day, trying to get offthe ground. Modern man and wom-an may know no better, or less re-strictive, stimulant.

In a few weeks, however, the su-preme machine of unfettered man-ned flight, the self-propelled ultra-light, is expected to return to theseparts after a brief run-in with localairport authorities. With the mostminimal of restrictions (licensesaren't even required), thousands ofAmericans have realized their fan-tasies in the last few years pilot-ing these contraptions of alumi-num, cloth and lawnmower parts.As more people do it, one wondershow long a good thing can, orshould, last.

Since 1980, when the popularQuicksilver model was introduced,more than 10,000 ultralights of va-rious makes and models have beensold annually. More than four dozenfirms, many just mom-and-pop op-erations, sell the aircraft in kit and

ready-made form for anywherefrom $3,000 to $6,500. The ultralighthas attracted a global following,with the British military and thePalestine Liberation Organizationamong its better-known enthusiasts.

Yet America's civilian marketremains the ultralight's most awe-inspiring. Judging from a readersurvey published by Glider Rider,a magazine for ultralight enthusi-asts, the average flier is in his orher early 30s, attended but did notcomplete college, and earns be-tween $20,000 and $40,000 a year.According to the Aircraft Ownersand Pilots Association's David Hig-don, only two-thirds of all ultra-light fliers own pilots licenses.

Reckless as it seems, America'sflock of bird people is only doingthat which the rest of us would,if we could cast caution to the wind.After all, the movie "To Fly,"seen by more than 7 million at theNational Air and Space Museumsince 1976, is Washington's longest-running hit. Even before people be-gan scaling the Matterhorn, skiingdown Everest, and leaping fromplanes, they dreamed of defyinggravity alone and unencumbered.Ultralights have altered the phys-

ics. Their motors help to reassurethose who, in a hang glider, fearthat first step off a cliff, or a wind-shift at 3,000 feet. The airplane-likedesign of the ultralights can makeone feel more like a pilot than apiece of falcon bait; though moresophisticated than the machine thatmade Kitty Hawk famous, theygenerally require no more than atug on the throttle to achieve lift-off.

Their simplicity has prompted theFederal Aviation Administration toregulate with a light hand. Asingle page of rules, published onlya year ago, stated that ultralights,among other things, must not.flyfaster than 55 miles per hour ornear "congested" areas, carrymore than five gallons of fuel, orweigh more than 254 pounds. Re-cently, FAA Commissioner J. LynnHelms said he had no intention ofadding rules, contending,that the

sport should be self-regulating.But even birds have accidents.

About 100 fliers die in ultralightaccidents every year, and manymore have come close. Exact fig-ures are not available, even to gov-ernment authorities since, alas,there's no central system for re-porting accidents.

With time and increased popu-larity, more winged men and wom-en will probably be flying them-selves into trouble that Wilbur andOrville avoided, such as buildings,power lines and mid-air collisions.As much as its boosters mightwave the banner of prudence, theultralight will invite its share ofchaos in the skies. Indeed, airportauthorities near here temporarilysuspended ultralight flights latelast summer after seeing the needfor additional safeguards.

That suggests that the days ofwholly underregulated flight, how-ever brief, may be numbered. No-thing so simple as an ultralightever stayed that way. No dreamever went uninterrupted.

TIHI Al l 1t*: 'Miracles'S& Murder

by Linda GibbonsExhilerating drama, captivating

comedy, exciting entertainment:the light operetta "Sweeney Todd"is a crowd pleaser in the truesense of the word.

"Sweeney Todd" abounds withtalented Southwesterners. In therole of Anthony, Southwestern's ownBrian Maffitt shines like the star hetruly is. Liberating the title roleof the barber is the ever-talentedTony Lee Garner, artistic directorof the McCoy Theatre and musicaldirector of the production.

Illuminating the stage with theirresonant voices, the multifacetedcast resurrects mid-19th centuryLondon.

The plot playfully deals with thesadistic deeds of a "slightly pos-sessed" man, Sweeney Todd. The"Demon Barber of Fleet Street"catapults the mere audience partici-pant into a suspended state of dra-matically musical "blissdom."

If not for the sheer thrill of GOODtheater, one should attend this Mc-Coy Theatre Production to witnessthe abundance of talent found hereat SAM High.

A refreshing biographical dramahas descended upon the Playhouseon the Square. The early years ofHelen Keller's life are immortalizedin "The Miracle Worker." The castencompasses a long list of com-pany favorites, including SteveWilkerson, the handsome lead in"Pirates of Penzance." The role ofHelen is portrayed quite realistical-ly by Kirstin Kite, a young buthighly professional actress.

The play captivates the audienceand continues to mesmerize untilits fruition. The reviewer was final-ly entertained by Memphis theatre.I can honestly recommend "TheMiracle Worker," which will con-tinue to run through November 26,to the theatre-goers of Southwest-ern.

Basketball Coach Optimisticby Hal Fogelman

If daylight savings time has.passed and pumpkins have comeand gone, can basketball seasonbe far away? No! In just a fewweeks, basketballs will be bounc-ing from Anchorage to Apallachi=-cola. Of course, Southwestern'sMallory Gym won't be excludedfrom this assault of jump shots,slam dunks, and full-court presses.

The 1983-84 basketball team be-gan "formal" practice a couple ofweeks ago. However, most of theplayers have been participating ina variety of drills and "informal"scrimmages - better known as"pickup" games - since last sea-son ended. Coach Herb Hilgemanbegins his eighth year as the SAMhead coach, hoping for his squad toimprove on last year's 16-7 mark,which saw the Lynx finish secondin the CAC.

With the help of Coach Hilge-man, here is a profile of someof the team's personnel:

Jeff Phillips (6', senior, MemphisBriarcrest, 2.5 points per game,;88 assists last year). Accordingto Hilgeman, Jeff "is looking for-ward to his senior Season." Atpresent, Phillips is holding downthe point guard chores for theteam. As the lone senior on thesquad, Phillips will be a key lead-er on the team, having started thelast two years.

Scott Patterson (6'4", junior,19.2 points and 7.5 rebounds pergame last year). "Scott has donean excellent job for us his firsttwo years here," said Hilgeman.Besides his scoring and rebound-ing prowess, Patterson is also con-centrating on defense during pre-season practice.

Rozell Henderson (6'4", junior,Memphis Auburndale, 12.1 pointsand 5.3 rebounds per game in1982). With the graduation of TimO'Keefe, Coach Hilgeman said the

team will look to Rozell for morescoring this year. Known for hispower moves on offense, Hendersonalso receives Hilgeman's praise forhis work under the boards and ondefense.

Billy Ryan (6'6", junior, Mem-phis Wooddale, 9.4 points and 6.3rebounds per game). Described asa.fine athlete by Hilgeman, Ryan

is the best leaper on the team, asevidenced by his many blockedshots. Billy brings the quality ofintimidation to the court.

Ricky White (6'3", junior, Tusca-loosa Academy). Ricky's biggesthurdle this year will be stayinghealthy - injuries have seriouslycut his playing time the last twoyears. Right now, White is beingworked at the second guard posi-tion. Known for his rugged style ofplay, Ricky had the distinction ofleading the CAC in most fouls perminutes of play last year.

Key players off the bench:

John Telford (sophomore, Blacks-burg, Virginia). Coach Hilgemancalls Telford the "most improvedplayer" on the team from lastyear. Hard work over the springand summer, the development of adeadly 15' jump shot, will resultin increased playing time this yearfor John.

Mike Thompson (sophomore,Brentwood, Tennessee). Mike hasbeen a "pleasant surprise" toHilgeman this fall. So far in prac-tice, Thompson has displayed avery strong inside game and willbe counted on in tight situationsto get points and rebounds off thebench.

Rob Schutt (freshman, Knoxville,Catholic) will o c cup y the pointguard spot along with Phillips thisyear. Rob is a good outside shoot-er who also passes well, concen-trating mainly on defense in prac-tice. Co a ch Hilgeman considersScott a good leader on the team.

Hank Bremer (freshman, AtlantaWestminster). Although relativelytall at 6'51/2" Bremer has exhibitedgood. quickness and the ability todrive to the basket. Hilgeman ex-pects Hank to help a lot in a re-serve role.

In addition, the team has fiveother freshmen - plus transferSkip Gronavar - who Hilgemansays will contribute greatly as theygain experience this season.

The biggest question seems tobe the effect of the team's loss oflast year's CAC player of the year,Tim O'Keefe, and starter Chip Par-rott. However, in spite of the lossof Tim and Chip, Coach Hilgemanseems very optimistic about thisyear's squad - saying he has a

XC Team Seeks CAC Titleby Stephen Bonovich

The most important race for theCross-Country team is the Confer-ence Championship, to be held atSewanee. Sustaining a year oftwo-a-day workouts and injuries,including one race in which four ofthe top 5 men runners were in-jured, the team has learned to toethe line with any competition onany course.

The stakes this Saturday arehigh; it is for the Conference title,and will support the school in itshope for the All-Sports Trophy, aswell as being a major compon-ent to the criteria of success forthis program.

At the Conference the runnershope to funnel 8 weeks of hardtraining into one race; a race inwhich they hope to transform agood season into a great one, or asCoach Colburn says, "to run likeyour house is on fire and yourmother's in it!"

The boys' team has gotten mostof their runners over their in-juries and are sending a strong

contingent to Sewanee. The teamnot only hopes to improve uponlast year's dismal performance, butto avenge an earlier defeat bySewanee and win the Conferencetitle.

The girls' team has looked strongall year and, with the addition ofCaroline Stockton, has gained muchneeded depth. The girls' team isa strong favorite for the Conferencetitle. Both teams are appearingstrong and Conference successseems likely as the team is on theverge of a major transformationfor the Cross-Country program.

"good feeling" and admiring thechemistry that has developed. The1983 team may not be as dynamicas past SAM teams, but Hilge-man warns they might get the jobdone better.

The orientation of the team's at-tack this year will be inside andtrying to get better percentageshots than last year. Rather thanhaving one guard with two wings(last season), this year's align-ment has two guards, with Patter-son, Henderson, and Ryan work-ing inside. As indicated above, de-fense also seems to be a stresspoint of preseaon practice.

As far as the CAC is concerned,C oa c h Hilgeman sees a toss-upbetween long-time kingpin Rose-Hu lm a n, last year's champion,Centre and SAM. The coach warnedthat even though insiders may pickRose or Centre in this dogfight,watch out for his team! Rose hasall five starters back, while Cen-tre brings four starters back thisyear, along with some impressivefreshmen. Sewanee - with formerDuke assistant Bobby Dwyer tak-ing over for everyone's favoritecoach, Rick Jones - has goodreturning talent, but should fin-ish fourth. Newcomer Fisk andperennial doormat Principia willround out the League race.

After a scrimmage against Phil-lips College last week, the teamhas begun preparation for the sea-son opener at Maryville (Mo.) - onNovember 19. The first home tiltwill be against Washington Uni-versity (Mo.) on November 25.
