International Festivalon "Transcending,

AMY HOLLANDERAssociate Managing Editor

Food, dance, and music of for-eign countries will be highlightednext week as the Wooster campuscelebrates the International Festi-

val. Four events designed toshowcase the various aspects offoreign culture have been packedinto the week's schedule by the Of-

fice of International Student Af-

fairs (OISA).Religion rather than nationality

is the initial focus of the festival.A panel comprised of students rep-resenting various religions andJohn Ferguson, a well-publish- ed

theologian from Great Britain, willbe in the Lowry Center Pit at 11

am. on Tuesday Jan. 17 to addressstudent questions. John Granato,who will act as commentator,thought that his idea of a religiousdiversity panel presentation wouldgo well with the festival's themeof "Transcending Boundaries."

Two blockbuster films importedfrom France will be shown inMateer at 7 pjn. on Thursday Jan.19 as entertainment and a learningexperience. Claude Berri directsthe films based on the late MarcelPagnol's novels. "Jean de Flor-ett- e"

$2 million grant donatedfor new dormitoryCOLLEGE NEWS SERVICES

The College of Wooster has re-

ceived a $2 million grant from theHenry Luce Foundation of NewYork toward the construction of aresidence hall which may also beused as an educational conferencecenter.

In making the grant, Henry Lucem, president of the Foundation,cited the "innovative" design ofthe residence hall and stated that"the proposed new building seemsto us to reflect Wooster's philoso-phy that the student life outsidethe classroom ought to foster both

tim of cruel acts. "The appallingmachinations of the Soubeyransthe farmer and his family lead to

tragic consequences that are heart-breaking to watch," stated News-week in July of 1987. "ManondesSources" is the sequel in which thefarmer's son seeks revenge.French professor Carolyn Durhamwill be commenting on the filmsfollowing the showing. KathySabol from the Career Develop-ment and Placement Center headedthe committe that organized theevent.

Videos, music, food andtional native dress are some of themain attractions of an internationalbazaar in the Lowry Center lobbyfrom 11 a.m. to 3 pjn. on FridayJan. 20. Malayasia, Turkey, India,Venezuala, Uraguay, Argentina,France, and Russia along with oth-er countries will be displaying as-

pects of their culture with bulletinboards and brochures, also. PhilKoenig headed the committe thatarranged the bazaar.

A talent show will showcaseWooster students teaching anotherstudent an activity that reflects theculture of the foreign student'shome country. The performances,including singing, dancing and anyother talent, will run from 8 p.m.to 10 pjn. on Jan. 21 at Freed--

personal and intellectual develop-ment. That is the approach weheavily endorse through thisgrant."

"What a marvelous gift to re-

ceive," said Wooster President'Henry Copeland. "As it has sofrequently in the past, the LuceFoundation has again taken the in-

itiative in addressing an importanteducational problem. Given itsbroad perspective on the issues inhigher education, I am particularlygrateful for the Foundation's en-

dorsement of the concept of thenew facility."

The new residence hall, whichwill house 96 upperclass students,

focusesff

lander Theater. For students inter-

ested in participating, it's not tolate to sign up. Dances from Ma-lay- wa

and the Philippines andmany other acts are being planned.International students, however,are not the only people with tal-

ents to share as American studentsare also invited to participate. AsMasankho Banda, who headed thecommittee organizing this event,said, "this is entertainment to pro-

mote international awareness."The event is also being co-sponso- red

by the performing artshouse.

Samples of native foods will beoffered at a dinner on Sunday Jan.22 at 5 p.m. at Mackey Hall toculminate the week's activities. In-

ternational hors (foeuvres and en-

trees from approxiamately 8 to 10countries will be served as part ofthe buffet style dinner. Studentswill be preparing the dishes withingredients supplied by OISA.Tickets, which will be available atthe Lowry Center InformationDesk, are needed to attend the din-

"I feel confident that we have setup a good prognm," says SylviaYoung, Assistant Dean of Stu-

dents and a member of the SafeWalk Committee. The program,which began on Wednesday of thisweek, was presented to ICC byPaul Jacobus, who was represent-ing the section Phi Sigma Alpha(Sigs), in reaction to two attempt-ed assaults in September.

Both occurred on campus duringthe evening. In one case, a fe-

male student was grabbed whileshe was walking in the woodedarea between Galpin Hall and Ke-- .

LettersFood plan:

Belt suggests

Dear Editor,

I propose a meal plan that willsave money and food!! It allowsthe students to pay ONLY for themeals they eat

1: I.D. cards with magneticstrips

2: An electronic machine to readname, I.D. number.and meal beingeaten. -

F

The 21 meals-a-wee- k plan ispaid in advance, BUT the mealsnot eaten are credited to the foodaccount at the end of the semester.Forget your I.D. card? Cancel themeal slip on the Food Service Of-

fice's (F.S.O.) computer. Stu-

dents still can't cook in the dormsdue to fire hazard laws, so FoodService can still estimate theamount of food to prepare. NewI.D. cards are too expensive for thebudget? Use the old ones. Justbring the unmarked days on thecard to the F.S.O. at the end of thesemester, and credit your accountTo be accurate, get new cards.

For non-me- al plan students, whohave to buy meal tickets, make thestudent tickets more available.The F.S.O. is the only place stu- -'

dent priced meal tickets are sold.BUT, the F.S.O. is not open whenmeals are served! It's not open forbreakfast or dinner and is closed forhalf an hour during lunch. We canforget about last miniute meals onSaturdays and Sundays because theF.S.O. is not open on the week-ends.

Sell the students tickets at theLowry Information Desk. It canmake the tickets more available

to theand more marketable. Lowry frontdesk only sells guest meal tickets.Th price difference is anywherefrom 65 to 90 cents.

This is only one way to discou-rage the spontaneous off-camp- us

student from joining friends formeals because he or she can't getcheaper tickets. An extra moneybox to cash out at night for theevening information desk clerkcan't be that bad. There's nochange to deal with; the prices areonly in bills. Let's change thismeal system and not facilitate theU.S. image of a country thatwastes everything when there areso many people with so littlemoney or food!

Computer Center:Zimmerman defendsDear Editor.

In reference to the letter by SeanWhalen in the Dec. 18 Voice, thecopier in Taylor Hall is there atthe request and for the convenienceof the faculty and staff who workin the building. It is located inthe operator's room because of thatroom's central location in thebuilding. If it becomes a nuisanceto students using the computercenter, it will be moved.

Nonetheless, since the copier isstill located in the operator'sroom, the student operators havebeen directed to perform simplecopy tasks so long as doing sodoes not interfere with their otherduties. This helps defer some ofthe cost of the machine, and en-

courages students to use it rather

iTHE WOOSTER, VOICE:

editorthan the computer printers as copymachines. Moreover, the comput-- ..

er center is open during hourswhenmany of the other campus copymachines are not available.

However, the operators havebeen directed not to make copiesof copyrighted material nor tomake copy reductions and enlarge-

ments. It is illegal to make cop-

ies of copyrighted material and ifthe operators do make such copiesthey become liable for the copy-

right infringement I, and I hopeall of the campus community, donot want to place the operators inthat position. (Nevertheless, Inote that one of the late night stu-

dent operators was recently, andvery rudely, verbally abused by an-

other student for refusing to makesuch copies!)

Enlargements and reductions aretime-consumin- g, and, as we havelearned from past experience, theresult is often not to the taste ofthe person requesting it, who thenmost rudely refuses to pay for thecopy and demands the operator tryagain! Payment for such copiescomes out of the operator's pocket

Moreover, making such copiesleads to further demands for theservice at times (for example, dur-

ing the end-of-se-m ester paper fren-zy) when the operator can barelykeep up with the computer print-ers. I hope you don't believe theoperators should need to pay forsuch differences in interpretation,nor should they need to take verbalabuse from fellow students for anyreason.

A more positive suggestionfrom Mr. Whalen might have beenfor a public-acce- ss copier in Taylor

much larger group of people onour campus whose talent for rude-ness far exceeds that of telephoneoperators or computer center man-

agement, especially when papersand exams are due. The argumentfor this rudeness often is "I pay toattend this school, and that allowsme to do whatever I wish," I don'tbut that argument. On the con-

Foreign students:Imam admonishes

Dear Editor,

In reference to the article"International Students Argue forBetter Communication," in theDec. 9, 1988 Voice issue, thepanel discussion on internationalstudents was, indeed, very well or-

ganized. I would like to givesome suggestions to the panelistsand the international studentswhich will help them develop abetter way of communication withdie Americans.

First of all, it should be interna-tional students who take the first

V5 fn.,rT iSXi

initiative toward extending the in-

vitation for friendship to theAmerican students. It is not the re-

sponsibility of the Americans todo so. I would advise them tomake more American friends andtry to be a part of the Americancommunity. Assembling togetheramongst themselves will only leadto an extension of the existingmargin between the two commu-nities. Those international stu-

dents who have been doing what Ihave mentioned are having a verysuccessful experience here atWooster. After all, if internation-al students come to study so manymiles away from their homes,they should acquire a real Ameri-can education.

Before finishing I would like togive the international students anexample of what to avoid whenthey get together. In one of myclasses I was dismayed to find thatthe international students takingthe class had occupied two rowscompletely and were sitting in oneaggregated group. All of theAmerican students were forced tosit in the back rows. Such actsdissuade American students fromfeeling bold enough to break this"Great Wall of Chma" which weinternational students have built

Bourne edits Artful Dodgewith Wooster students

JEFF KEARStaff Writer

"Literature in some ways isshow business. It should be readpublically, and there is a place forthis, for it gives focus for localwriters and readers," says first-ye- ar

English professor Daniel Bourne.And this ideology of bringing lit-

erature to the stage is being prac-

ticed here at the College of Woost-er through the Artful Dodge Liv-

ing Journal.The Living Journal, sponsored

by Artful Dodge Magazine, is acollection of poetry, fictional sto-

Boume encourages COW stu-

dents to submit their literaryworks to the magazine's editingstaff, but he cautions that the mag-

azine is not a student literary mag-

azine. "It is a competitive literarymagazine, and it is not its duty topublish students." But, as Boumeassured, the magazine and its edi-

tors would evaluate a student'ssubmitted work more closely thanthe work submitted by others andprovide the student feedback onhisher writing, something which,according to Bourne, is rare for be-

ginning writers to obtain.Copies of the magazine are

available in the Florence O. Wil-

son Bookstore, and future presenta-tions of the Living Journal are be-

This past Wednesday, the Stu-

dent Activities Board sponsored aprogram that brought Trent Arter-berr- y

back to Wooster to give an-

other stunning and captivating per-

formance in McGaw Chapel. Thisis the second time that Arterberryhas been at Wooster. The lasttime was during the 1985-8- 6

school year. Along with perform-ing at colleges, Arterberry has per-formed for over a half a millionpeople throughout the world. Hehas performed in such places asRadio City Music Hall, the Mon-

treal Forum, and the Grand Ball-

room of the Queen Elizabeth nluxury liner. He has also been theopening act for such recording art-

ists as B.B. King, the Kinks, andthe late Buddy Rich.

forestthreatens natural resources

PAUL KOREMANGuest Writer

The settlement of the Earth'sequatorial regions should be com-

pleted by the year 2032. Tropicalforests receiving abundant rainfalland sunlight cover 7 of theEarth's surface. These regions arebelieved to have the potential to

. become great agricultural produc-ers.

Spurred on by government sub-

sidies and Multilateral Develop-ment Banks, settlers are perma-nently clearing an area about thesize of West Virginia each year.That such a huge area can becleared of its forests in only 45years is a testament to how far wehave progressed technologically.Clearing the Ohio Valley andneighboring regions took almosttwice as long.

Unfortunately, tropical forests donot respond to clearing like ourtemperate forests. When the pio-

neers were settling Wooster theyfound a rich black soil so fertilethat farming was profitable. Whena Brazilian burns a piece of forestto the ground he is left with ashes.The nutrients released by the fire

produce a good crop for two years,a fair crop after three years, andnothing after four. The only nutri-

ents capable of supporting growthwere held in the used up ashes.

Arterberry's performance onWednesday night included such se-

lections as "Daddy Babysits,""Birth," "The Apple," and"Bubblegum." Although the audi-

destruction

tropical regions becomes as hard asconcrete. The settler, unable tolive off the now barren land,moves and tries to farm anotherarea for four years.

The soil beneath tropical forestsdoes little more than hold the veg-

etation in place. Tropical soils arenot renewed by glaciation liketemperate soils. Glaciers churnthe earth and bring fresh nutrientsup from the bedrock. Without thisperiodic renewal heavy rains havewashed the nutrients far out ofreach of even the longest roots.Plants live in these nutrient poorsoils because they are able to recy-

cle nutrients very efficiently. Anincredibly dense mass of roots ly-

ing just below the surface of tropi-

cal forests sends nutrients rightback up into the canopy.

Farm crops do not recycle nutri-

ents efficiently enough to keepthem near the surface. In a fewyears all the nutrients are leachedout of the soil by the rain and anarea that once supported a tropicalforest is incapable of growing any-

thing but a few scattered grasses.Heavy tropical rains wash more

than just nutrients out of exposedsoil. The water, constantly wash-

ing through the earth, leaches outsilica. Eventually iron and alumi-num oxides are the only thingsleft near the surface. Iron and alu-

minum oxides are the principle in-

gredients in clay. Anyone whohas lost their Play-D- o behind thedryer will understand what happensnext. Without the constant inter-

vention of plant roots the heavy

man life. The true highlight ofArterberry's performance was whenthe house lights went down and hedid a few of his characters usingphosphorescent clothing. He real-

clay soil dries and becomes as hardas rock in the relentless tropicalheat. This substance, called ca-

liche in some areas, is so durablethat it has been used as a buildingmaterial in Southeast Asia.

Once the soil has been strippedof nutrients and has become petri-fied, it is truly barren. Accordingto the Environmental DefenseFund, an area about the size ofWest Virginia is being convertedto tropical desert each year. Trad-

ing rain forest for desert does notsound like a deal any rational indi-

vidual would acceptThe destruction of large areas of

erate but the soil can not. Oncethe soil is destroyed nothing cangrow except a few weeds here andthere. Even though the problemsof our tropical forests are becom-ing recognized, the destruction oflarge areas of tropical forest stillcontinues.

The reasons behind the destruc-tion are twofold. A booming pop-

ulation in the third world hascreated the need for more land.There is little we can do about thisexcept condemn certain teachingsof the Roman Catholic Churchand help these countries lowertheir tremendous birth rates.

Internationalist:Christmas on campus

KHALID SHERDILSome went back to their coun-

tries. Others visited their relativesor friends in United States. Butthere also were quite a few interna-

tional students, (from now on,called Intys) who stayed at Woost-

er for this Christmas break. Eve-

ryone has his or her personal rea-

sons for not leaving Wooster, butmany Intys simply have no rela-

tives in the United States and lackthe money or the desire to gohome. So how was their stay atthe College?

Only three dorms, Wagner, Biss-ma- n

and Babcock International,remained open. Unfortunately,those who lived elsewhere duringthe school year had much more todo than to just transfer their lug-

gage temporarily to these dorms.To begin with, they had to find aroom for themselves. If no oneagreed to the use of their room,the students in need were left outin the cold. Several students facedquite some trouble in their week-lon- g

search for shelter.Second, this shelter was not

free. It cost $6 per day as roomrent, but it kindly reduced to $4per day for Intys by the Housing.Office. Despite this reduction, to-

tal room rent for Intys approachedthe $100. This is quite a big frac-

tion of the total annual personalexpenses of $1135 (includingbooks) as estimated by the Col-

lege. This is why several studentsstayed illegally and did not pay theroom rent According to the Hous-

ing Office only 13 Intys stayed atWooster, only one of whom paidthe room rent (actually half therent). Others' rent was paid betheir employers. Only 8 Intys of

ficially stayed at Babcock. Of the39 American students that stayed,27 were on the Men's Basketballteam.

This $4 per day charge includesthe maintenance and cleaning ofthe dorms besides other things.The maintenance of kitchens re-

mained a big problem throughoutthe break because the Lowry Centerdid not offer food. Students had tocope up with only three smallkitchens (actually kitchenettes),one in each dorm. In Babcock thisresulted in a messy, mismanagedkitchen. Both sinks were blockedand the women's restroom had tobe used most of the time for wash-

ing dishes. Although the Custodi-al Services did an excellent job,the students did not cooperate inkeeping the kitchens clean.

Staying at one place is boringand some form of entertainment '

is necessary. Watching televisionand movies was one way of pass-

ing the time. Several Intysworked full-tim- e, which kept thembusy from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thisalso made them tired enough to goto bed early. Hence, for them thedays passed quickly. The Office ofInternational Students Affairs(OISA) had arranged for somegood activities during-- the break.The most appreciable of these wasthe trip to Pittsburgh, Pennsylva-nia. One student suggested that theCollege administration should en-

courage and finance OISA to holdmore such trips during the non-worki- ng

days. Weather restrict-

I went home for ChristmasBreak with good intentions. Iwas going to call up all my oldhigh school friends and buddies. Iwas going to find out what theywere doing with their lives aftercollege. I was going to find outwhat they had -- been doing withtheir lives while IN college. I wasgoing to find out if they were stillIN COLLEGE.

I didn't do any of those things.I looked up their phone num-

bers, actually, and I started to fig-

ure out how long it had been sinceI had talked to some of them. Itjust seemed to me that there mustbe some rule of etiquette aboutthings like that, such as, aftermore than three years, it is INAP-

PROPRIATE to call up someoneyou haven't seen and say, "Hi it's

remember me?" (I was also af-

raid that they wouldn't). I alsofelt like I ought to give them aGOOD REASON for not havingbeen in touch with them sinceGraduation 1985, Tve been busy"just didn't seem too useful in thiscase. "I've been a missionary inBangladesh" would have beengreat, but I didn't think I couldpull it off.

Then, there was the problem ofwhat to talk about because, gosh,four years is a LONG time.Where would I start? "So (cough),was 1986 a good year for you???"Would we talk chronologically,year by year? Or would we start

with 1989 and work backwards?Or would we skip the in betweenyears, talk about 1989 and just ac-

cept the fact that we would makeabsolutely no sense? And then,how would I phrase the really IM-

PORTANT questions - - whatthey studied in college, what kindof career they want, if they are sin-

gle, engaged, married.. .would Italk about the weather, and casual-

ly slip them in?Being indecisive, I went to the

local mall, thinking that perhaps Icould RUN INTO a few of them --

- which would make conversationa lot easier. I watched for facesthat looked even VAGUELY fa-

miliar... and I began to wonder if Ireally had the right mall... theright town, because I saw a lot offaces and I didn't know ANY ofthem. I began to believe that myhigh school classmates were allout making their first million andtravelling to exotic places and Iwas the only one still hanging outaround Hot Sam Pretzels.

Thebook traces the history of sciencefiction in the United States fromthe late 19th century to the 1930s.Many of his books have been

firsts in the field of science fictioncriticism. Since 1959 he has beenthe editor of Extrapolation a jour-nal of science fiction and fantasy,which is read all over die world.

The residence hall will providemultiple spaces in which studentsmay come together to pursue com-

mon intellectual and social inter-

ests and it will represent an exten-

sion of the College's program ofmaking small houses available togroups of students who organizethemselves around a program witheither a social service or an intel-

lectual interest.Adding to the importance of the

building to the College will be itsuse as an educational conferencecenter during the summer months.Because of its design, the residencehall will be especially adaptablefor such summer events as Woost-er'-s

The term "science fiction" is rel-

atively new, yet he says that theorigins of what we now callscience fiction lie in such books asThomas More's Utopia and theMedieval Travel Books . Claresonlikes science fiction and fantasybecause they "are a great source ofstorytelling and entertainmentThey trace the interplay betweenvarious fields of science and thesocieties which produce them."Science fiction, he notes, can be a

. "vehicle for criticism and satire ofthe contemporary world," such asGulliver's Travels.

In 1958, Clareson was vice-chairm- an

of the WorldCon, ameeting of 5,000 to 8,000 peoplefrom all over the world to discussscience fiction. He is currently onthe programming committee of theNortheast Conference III, at whichAmerican scholars from variousfields talk about the impact of thelatest science, possible inventions,and the coming of the 21st centur-

y-Clareson has written about such

authors as Frederik Pohl and Rob-

The architectural design that wehave adopted incorporates all thatwe have learned about residentiallife during the past 20 years, andthe building will represent a state-of-the--art

facility," Copeland said."It will provide the College and

the Wooster community with newopportunities," he added. "It isdefinitely not a 'dormitory' in the.traditional sense but an educationalfacility that will establish a new'standard for residential life on thecampus."

Copeland emphasized that the ad-

dition of 96 spaces for studentsdoes not reflect the College's in-

tention to expand its size. Rather,rooms in the new residence hallwill replace existing spaces andpermit renovation of other resi-

dence halls on campus. -

One is called "Encounter," and itwould focus on how Eastern cul-

tures such as those of Africa, Asia,and Polynesia react to the works ofWestern authors, and vice-vers- a.

Clareson hopes to enlist the helpof the College's international stu-

dents for this class. He would alsolike to offer a course called"Contemporary Fiction." For it tobe truly contemporary, be wouldinclude only fiction that was pub-

lished since the year the currentseniors were bom, with the excep-tion of Faulkner and Hemingway.Those authors, he insists, are sta-

ples of Clareson classes. Another. course he would like to revive is"Popular Fiction," in which hewould investigate how certainmyths of society have perseveredin our popular fiction. "Literatureof the American West" is also aclass be would like to teach again.

Dr. Clareson received his bache-

PredictionsI

It's that time of year again whenpolitical pundits take a look intotheir crystal balls and try to seewho is on the rise and who is onthe decline. Unfortunately, I'm nodifferent. So here is a list of 1988

notables and my predictions forwhere their fortunes will lie:

1. George Bush This man didwhat many thought would be animpossible dream for him when hecaptured the presidency in Novem-

ber. When he takes office on Jan.20, however, he may decide hereally doesn't want to be there. He

was elected with no mandate andthis will pose serious problemswhen it comes to dealing withCongress. His "kinder, gentler,nation" platform will ring hollowwhen he demands sharp cuts inMedicaire and Medicaid. If he hadany hope of a "prayer-in-schoo- l"

ammendment to the Constitution,Bush might as well forget thatnow because there is no way aDemocratic Congress will allowit. His "no taxes" fantasy will disappear as tne aeiicu win rage outcontrol. As if these aren't enoughheadaches for him to deal with.Bush will still have to deal withhow to give Dan Quayle an insig-

nificant job where he won't com-

mit any gaffes. On the plus side.Bush will probably get two Su-

preme Court nominees and willhave Roe v. Wade overturned.Still, overall, 1989 promises to be

a bleak year for "poor George"Bush.

2. Dan Quayle Here's onemedia "darling" who , won't lastlong. Pretty soon hell be sent offon a fact-findi- ng tour to discoverthe problems of sunburn in Ha-

waii and that will be the last wehear of Quayle for a long time. Iwill also predict that, barring anyinjury to George Bush (God for-

bid!), this Vice-Preside- nt will notrepeat Bush's feat in 1992.

3. Ronald Reagan Look forhim to hover close to his protegfwith helpful suggestions and in-

put May he live long and pros-

per.4. Mikhail Gorbachev- -I

believe that 1989 will be the tell-

ing year for this young(comparatively) leader of the So-

viet Union. He was the star of1988 when he won the public rela-

tions battle with the long of pub-

lic relations, Ronald Reagan. Hehas made promises to Westernleaders which, if he is able to fol-

low through on them, will make itvery hard for the West to refusehim anything. His only problem,then, is his situation at home.His handling of aid to the victimsof the Armenian earthquake maybe a good indication of how muchpower he actually wields. Goodluck, Gorby.5. Yassar Arrafat-Taki- ng

"Job market for college grads

MICHAEL O'KEEFFECollege Press Services

- - The job market for this year'scollege grads is booming.

"There's no question about it,"reported Angie Aschoff of Linn-Bent- on

Community College'splacement office in Oregon "Thenumber of jobs advertised with usis up this year."

It's happening nationwide. Twomajor annual surveys, released inDecember, of national corporatehiring of new grads both predicteda happy spring.

Northwestern University's Lind-quist-Endic- ott

Report predicted an8 percent jump in corporate de-

mand for graduates with bachelor'sdegrees. Those graduates will re-

ceive starting salaries that are anaverage 4.6 percent higher thanthose garnered by the Class of '88.

Starting salaries for studentswith new master's degrees shouldbe 3.5 percent higher than lastyear's. NUs report added.

While Michigan State Universi-ty's Annual Recruiting Surveydoes not paint as rosy a picture, itdoes predict "new graduates willface a healthy job market."

MSU asked 427 corporationsabout their hiring plans. In re-

sponse, the firms expected to make3.1 percent more job offers to stu-

dents this year; and said they wereespecially interested in hiring morewomen and minority grads.

Deborah DeBow of EasternWashington University's Place-ment Office also found "there'smore competition (for students),so companies are getting more ag-

gressive. They're buying ads instudent publications and cominginto the office to strategize morewith the (placement) director."

Observers attribute the scramblefor students to corporate concernthat there won't be enough grads tohire in the future. A recent U.S.Labor Dept. study predicted onemillion fewer young people willenter the job market during thenext decade than during the 1970's.

"We are doing everything we canto prepare for the shrinking labormarket," said Trudy Marotta of theMarriott Corp.

Victor Lindquist of Northwesternadded companies also are hiring be-

cause the companies themselvesexpect to prosper. Sixty-on- e per-

cent of the firms NU surveyedthought they'd be more profitablein 1989 than they were in 1988.

"Corporate America is confidentthe economy will remain strongdespite concerns by so-call- ed ex-

perts about the volatile stock mar-

ket, the deficit, trade balance, meg-amerge- rs

and the increased compe-tition in the marketplace," Lind-quist said.

His report closely followed anearly December survey of 14,000employers by Manpower, Inc., atemporary employment servicescompany.

"We were a bit surprised at thehiring strength indicated by thosefigures," Manpower PresidentMitchell Fromstein said. "After ayear in which three million newjobs were added to the U.S. work-

force, we expected to see a slowingdown of job formation."

The boom is better for some stu-

dents than others. "Engineering,accounting, and health professionsare our most sought-aft-er gradu-ates," said DeBow, while Linn-Bento- n's

Michigan State researchers saidelectrical engineering majors willbe the greatest demand, followedby marketing and sales, financialadministration, mechanical engi-

that technical grads will make themost money. Engineering majorscan expect to earn $30,600, upfrom $29,856 in 1988.

Innovativeproves to be successful

New academic computer classroom provides learning atmosphere for Stewart andHavholm 's innovative new English course titled March 2,1667.

KEVIN WAUGHStaff Writer

As part of the College of Woost-er'- s

fall semester curriculum, anew idea in teaching materializedas Dr. Peter Havholm and Dr. Lar-

ry Stewart developed and taught anEnglish course, entitled March 2.1667 , through the use of the com-

puters at Taylor Hall.The unusual name of the course

is due to the two professors' insis-

tence upon the need for a student'sregard for the background of a giv-

en passage. "The title... is notmeant to be cute or ingenious, butto force precision of thought," ex-

plained Dr. Stewart The studentswere instructed to avoid viewingliterature in a generalized manner.The use of the computer accom

English course

plished this goal, for its specialfeatures enabled the students tolook beyond the single phrase.

For example, as part of theclass, John Milton's Paradise Lostwas studied. Once the text was

placed into the computer memory,a student would focus upon a spe-

cific phrase of the story andthrough the use of hypertext, acomputer application, an underly-ing passage somehow related toMilton's work, would appear be-

neath Paradise Lost. Such a prac-

tice enables students to understandthe concept of intertextuality. Inother words, they can realize theconnections that exist among allliterary works. They can see thattexts are, indeed, influenced by

, other works.According to Dr. Stewart, the

students responded well to the in-

novative class and despite their ini-

tial confusion, succeeded in look-

ing beyond the given work.The use of computers to discover

related texts, according to Dr. Ste-

wart, has faced criticism, for manypeople feel computer use deprivesstudents of their vital thinkingprocess. Dr. Stewart disagreeswith this opinion stating, "Thecomputers are not giving the stu-

dents the information. The stu-

dents themselves are finding whatthey need and, in the process, theyare thinking critically."

Due to the benefits achievedthrough this class. Dr. Havholmand Dr. Stewart foresee more com-

Just in case you have been undera rock since we have been backfrom break, there is a new sensa-

tion on campus. It is our men'sbasketball team. While we weregone the team went 5-- 0 with keyvictories over Oberlin and OhioWesleyan. Wooster has not beatenOhio Wesleyan since 1983.

So far this week the Scots havekept the winning streak intact.First with a blowout victory overBethany on the road 83-4- 9 andWednesday night the Scots held offa very good Otterbein ball club fora 66-5- 9 talley in the win columnto push their record to 1 1-- 3.

The key for the Scots is theteam oriented defense which haslimited teams to under 60 points agame while Wooster has been av-

eraging 72 per game. Opposingteams shoot 38 from the fieldwhen they face the defense of theCollege of Wooster lead by seniorcenter Mike Trimmer(Reynoldsburg) who has 57 blocksin the season so far.

The offense, also very teamoriented, is led by Trimmer aswell. He has led the team in scor-ing in every game of this winstreak. But there are no weak spotsin the Scots' starting line-u- p. Eve--

terbein decided to sag off of first-ye- ar

student Terry Fields (Akron)and he burned them several timesfrom 15 feet.

Wooster indeed did show whythey are 11-- 3 in the Otterbeingame. They did not let the Cardi-

nals score until almost five min-tut- cs

were gone in the first halfwhile building a six point lead oftheir own with strong inside play.The offense, again led by Trim-

mer, was balanced and efficient,passing the ball around until therewas an open high-percenta- ge shotOffensive rebounding was also akey providing with Wooster sec-

ond shot scoring opportunities.The Scots were spectacular on

the defensive end of the court. Ot-

terbein came into the game averag-

ing 72 points per game. Woosterheld them to 27 points in the firsthalf and 59 for the game. Sopho-more Tim Southerland(Cincinnati) and senior captainChuck Rich (Mansfield) were thedefensive stalwarts shutting downOtterbein's excellent guard JerryDennis.

Junior Matt Hiestand (Old Fort)also played a good game on de-

fense. Second year coach SteveMoore commented, "Schwendlerwas scoring like crazy on us; we

The rest of the AquaScots alsostarted the Denison meet off infine fashion by catching their op-

ponents off guard with big victo-

ries in the 1000 and 200 free andthe 200 IM. Denison made somedrastic line-u- p changes to avoid amajor upset. With the talent of anational third-plac-e rank from lastyear, Denison pulled their person-nel together and took 4 out of thelast 5 individual events and thefree relay to win the Men's compe-

tition.With the first semester behind

As I watched Miami Coach Jim-my Johnson and his "salon styled"hair strut off the field with a deci-

sive Orange Bowl victory thatmarked the finale of college foot-

ball for the 1988-8- 9 season, I wasstruck with some contrasting im-

ages. No doubt, Notre Dame wasthe best team in the nation. I can'tbelieve that anyone would thinkthat the Mountainneers would givethem a battle. Definitely a mostlopsided matchup. Lou Holtz is amastermind and with 12 of the top25 recruits in the nation alreadysigned, he may be celebrating nextNew Year's as well.

The final season polls awardedthe Irish the number one rankingand, with it, the national champi-onship for the twelveth time inNotre Dame's history. They de-

serve it over anyone. So why wasthere so much controversy overwho should get the honor? Whydid Coach Johnson leave his start-

ers in with a safe lead of 23-- 3 andonly three minutes left in thegame? Trying to rub it in? Per-

haps. In a post game interview.Johnson said that lie wanted toshow the country that his "Canesshould be number one. Whateverthe motive, I havnt seen a moremalicious and unsportsmanlikedisplay of coaching conduct sinceWoody Hayes punched out aClemson defender in the GatorBowl a few years back. Sorry,Coach Johnson, you guys chokedin South Bend! Notre Dame num-

ber one! But does there really needto be a "number one?" If it causesso much controversy and bad feel

on Bowlings among teams, why bother?

Maybe if they weren't playing ingames like the "Mobil" CottonBowl or the "Sea World" HolidayBowl, we would never have theseproblems. Cmon! Is it really ne-

cessary for us to attach the namesof gas stations and kid's fun parksas prefixes to college football clas-

sics? It takes the true authenticityout of what is really at hand. Howmuch difference is it really makingto these companies and the gamesthemselves? The Rose Bowl,which did not have an officialsponsor, brought in the highestendowment at 12.1 million, dou-

ble that brought in by the SunkistFiesta BowL WhatH be next, theBurger King Bluebonnet Bowl?

In this age of increasing mediainfluence, sporting events have re-

ceived die lion's share of televisioncoverage. That's fine, especiallyfor sports fans. But why should webe subjected to a four-ho- ur paradeon all four networks before open-

ing kkkoff? The floats, bands, andcostumes are all spectacular and,don't get me wrong, I do appreciatethem, but not as sporting events. Iend up falling asleep half-wa- y

through. To a sports fan, the RoseBowl is a unique event and has --

been cherished for years. Whenwe're in die mood to watch foot-

ball all day, why should we haveto suffer through this misery?

Some of the broadcasting NewYear's Day was simply atrocious. Ihaven't seen such verbal bias sinceBilly Cunningham declared that itwas over for the Detroit Pistons ingame 5 of the NBA Finals lastseason against the Lakers. TheRose Bowl, probably the best"game", was a prime example. I'm

Well Rodney, if youneed help wiping Mark Messner'sfootprints off your helmet, don'thesitate to call. What about LeroyHoard's 145 yards rushing againsta team who didn't allow a runnerto gain over 100 all season butwas, as Jackson and his counter-part put it, still physically andemotionally distraught from theirprevious loss to Notre Dame. Webeat their ass fair and square! Had Ibeen listening to the game on ra-

dio, it would have sounded like aUSC intersquad scrimmage.Maybe when Bo and the Wolve-rines return to Pasadena for thestate of Michigan's third RoseBowl victory in a row next year,people , will start ragging on thePAC-1-0 for a change.

The most touching memory Ihave from "Bowl Day '89" waswhen I turned on the game be-

tween LSU and Syracuse. Stitchedon the shirt of every Syracuseplayer was the number "103" inmemory of the 38 friends andclassmates that died on Pan Amflight 103 in Scotland. I can't im-

agine a tragedy cf this magnitudehappening to the College ofWooster and it nuJces us appreciatewhat we really have. It makesquestions of who will be 1, whowill sponsor the next bowl game,and the games themselves seemtrivial and meaningless. -- I wishthat people could take bowlgames and all sporting events forwhat they really are appreciate theastounding gifts that so many ath-

letes present to us whenever theystep on the field.

The playoffs themselves werequite eventful this year. There wasfog, blowouts, fake injuries, a de-

But even more upsetting thanthat was the National FootballLeague's statement about the Ben-gals' no-hud- dle offense. Seattlefound a nice illegal counter attackto the best offensive innovationsince the shotgun formation. Theyfaked injuries on the third down(allegedly). The no-hudd- le offenseis creative, fun to watch, totallylegal and has been run perfectly bythe Bengals for the past threeyears.

The NFL's solution to thewhole issue was to make the gamemore boring and illegalize the no-hud- dle

offense under the pretensethat it was unfair. Oh!! Boo Hoo.No one was complaining last yearwhen the Bengals were 4-1- 1. Plusthe statement was announced 1

hour and 50 minutes before theAFC championship game. Giveme a break.
