A sophomore from the University o f Pennsylvania was badly injured on New Y ear’s Eve during a party at the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house, according to Dave M ueller o f Drexel University 's Public Relations Office.

Girard Wall, 19, a student o f the University’s College o f Arts and Sciences, was one o f about thirty peo­ple who attended the party in Room2 of the house. At some time after midnight he and an undetermined number of others climbed out of a win­dow onto the roof covering the en­trance of the house to watch the fireworks over the Benjamin Franklin

Bridge.According to Vice President for Stu­

dent Affairs Arthur Joblin, no frater­nity members were present on the roof, however, several brothers walk­ed up to the house and ordered the peo­ple on the roof to go back inside the

house.It was while climbing back into the

house, at about 1:15 a .m ., that Wall fell approximately fifteen feet to the concrete walk below. He was tirst taken to the University o f Penn­sylvania Hospital, but was transferred to Jefferson University Hospital the next day where he is listed in "critical

but stable” condition.The Lambda Chi fraternity house

referred all questions to John McGar- rigle, President of the fraternity’s Alumni Association, (C&E, 1969). M r. M cGarrigle discounted any possibility that drinking was the cause o f the accident.

“ From certain statements we have

by people at the party concerning drinking, or lack thereof—and all the statements seem to hang together—it does not appear that drinking was

involved.”“ (Lambda Chi is) very sorry for the

accident at the fraternity house and has expressed that to his fam ily.”

According to Ed Smith, University Director of Security and Public Safe­ly, no incident report has been com ­pleted and an ‘‘investigation is going o n " , regarding the cause of the acci­dent. Mr. Smith refused to comment further, referring questions to Public Relations, citing the possibility of litigation arising from the case.

Vice President Joblin called the in­cident an ‘‘unexplainable accident” and said that, although he is briefed daily by Mr. Smith and Director o f . Greek Life, Ron Kibbe, a report could not be completed until everyone pre­sent at the time has been questioned. He said, however, that there was no indication that Wall had been pushed or that any horseplay was involved, saying only that the incident was ‘‘very unfortunate.”

Joblin refused to comment on ques­tions concerning the possibility of litigation, such as whether the Univer­sity as well as the fraternity could be held responsible saying only that " is pure conjecture.. .It would be totally inappropriate for me to comment on

that or issue legal opinions.”A representative of Drinker, Biddle

and Reath, the law firm retained by the University said that the firm had not yet been contacted by Drexel and could express no opinion on liability until he recieved more information

Observations and recommendations in a three-day review of academic pro­grams at Drexel shocked and pleased a number o f faculty members. Presi­dent William S. Gaither refuted part of the report at the December meeting o f the Board o f Trustees. The report o f the external Academic Review Panel was received by the University on November 24, 1985.

The six member panel was picked by the president from recommenda­tions offered by the college deans. A seventh member. Dr. Robert Jahn, Chairman o f the Committee on In­struction and Research, resigned ow­ing to his appointment to the Board of Trustees. He was, however, present at the first day o f the review and the delivery o f the report.

The panel members were Dr. Toni C arbo Bearman, Dean of the School o f Library and Information Science at the University of Pittsburgh; Dr. Leon Botstein, President o f Bard College; Mr. Joseph Guertin; Mr. Steven C. Kiely, Vice President o f Research, Development and Marketing for Prime Computer; Dr. Michael J. Pelczar, J r .; and Mr. John C. Woodhouse.

The report presented a set of obser­vations and recommendations for the entire university. A section was prepared for each college; library ser­vices were included with the report on the College o f Information Studies. Excerpts from the report are given below. Full copies are not yet general­ly a v a i la b le to the u n iv e rs i ty community. ___ _

O bservafions" T h e faculty at Drexel are o f high

quality...In contrast to the long-range plan, the team does not find the stu­dent body inadequate o r inap ­propriate... Drexel is in a good f>osi- tion to contemplate a serious centen­nial campaign. We believe a figure of $100 million is neither unreasonable nor unrealistic...Drexel should focus less on grade point averages and SATs and more on developing long-range strategies for the recruitment o f stu­dent in the Drexel tradition.”

W eaknessesThe Board of Trustees does not ap­

pear to have assumed an adaquate dimension o f responsibility with rcspect to the future o f Drexel...The lc\el of equity participation by the board in Drexel is too low...The com­mittee found a disturbing level of niiscommunication and mistrust bet­ween the faculty and the administra­tion.. .It was clear that the process of long-range planning must be recon­sidered.. .The admissions process and staffing were viewed to be weakness- ed ... Alumni/ae relations to the univer­sity are dangerously w eak...A re the students asked to take too many courses at once and are faculty asked to teach too m uch .. .The library needs serious attention.. .There is not now a stable and adequate form of faculty governance...Drexel's own marketing fia: been inadequte.”

Recom m endations ‘ The Board of Trustees must

undergo a candid process o f self- ap p ra isa l lead ing to a restructuring...5100 million might be too little...W hatever figure is set. the board must contribute at least twer.y percen t.. .D rexel should consider creating a position that might be term­ed the chief operating officer... Drex­el must increase the annual resources allocated for the library...Drexel must focus on developing pride in its past and future.”

Nesbitt"T he present structure of the Col­

lege b u i ld s u p o n ex is t in g 4 l r e n g t h s . . .The Publications Develop­ment C e n te r b r ing s s ig n ifican t facilities to the College...the faculty o f the College are extremely compe­tent, highly motivated, and deeply committed...It is difficult to see any connec tion betw een the H otel, Restaurant, and Institutional Manage­ment program and the design focus of the College...The (architecture) cur­riculum must be better developed and strengthen in design and theory...Con­sider Design Management as a new

program area...M ove or eliminate HRIM from the Nesbitt College of Design...The faculty/student ratio

must be reduced to no more than 25 to I ...Provide College with (its own) admissions control... The Dean of the college has done an excellent job of providing focus.”

Busine.ss an d A dm inistration" D rexe l 's cooperative education is

particularly attractive in a career- directed area such as business.. .Drexel lead.s the "B ig N am e" schools (Stan­ford. Harvard, etc.) in computer in­tegration into the curriculum ...The faculty is committed to continuing the t ra d i t io n o f o u ts ta n d in g pedagogy.. .Drexel is one o f only a handful of top-quality schinils that of­fers a part-time MBA degree pro­gram...(the university should) increase funding for Business College pro­grams and address the faculty morale issue."

Science" T h e Physics and Atmospheric

Science program (has a) good record of scholarly achievement...Chemistry has an excellent track record of plac­ing graduates in top schools...Com ­puter Science is accredited by the Na­tional Board, a recognition awarded to a relatively small group...W e are not convinced (a new program in nur- Jing) will attract the student body predicted by the advocates of the program .”

Engineering"C urren t subject areas are ap­

propriate for Drexel and their conti­nuance w ould strengthen D rex ­el... mandatory cooperative education serves a useful p u rp o s e . . .inier- disciplanary opportunities do not apply to a number o f the programs... By con­trast with the unhappiness and poor morale shown by Faculty Council per­sonnel, we found contentment and good morale with the men interview­ed in Engineering...W e found no bias toward taking engineering courses."

In fo rm a tio n Studies"C IS is solid, with a strong national

and international reputation for ex­cellence...Additional strengths in­clude: an excellent facilty...growing

enrollment...the strongest alumni sup­

port of any college in the Universi­ty .. .a very highly-regarded publica­tion, the Drexel Libniry QiMricrly. which has been cut due to lack of funds...an excellent track record for research...the ability o f CIS to con­tinue to evolve as the rapidly d ev e lo p in g in fo rm a tio n field changes... the size of the faculty is t(x> small...there is insufficient support for faculty development...there are not sufficient funds to purchase new equipment...develop interdisciplanary programs...revive the Drexel l.ihrory Qiumeriy."

L'nlversity L ibrary"Since the inid-1970s the library has

been receiving a declining share of the budget (from 7% to less than 2% )...Dre.\el is one o f the few large libraries in Philadelphia without an automated catalog...The number of serial publications subscribed to has decreased significantly...The very good, long-standing relationship with the University of Pennsylvania is in jeopardy.. Staffing has been cut to 53 people, the lowest it has been since 1969...The University of Pennsylvania has invited Drexel to share in its pro­g ram to in troduce the N OTIS (automated catalog) system ."

H um anities and Social Sciences "The college has an excellent group

o f first-rate faculty...The college has developed a remarkable number of courses and programs that make use of engineering and business programs at D rexel.. .The college has paid pro­per auenlion to the teaching of w r i t i n g . . . fa c u l ty s tren g th is uneven...Drexel mu.st provide greater re.search support...The administration does not seem to have placed sufficient stress on the liberal a rts...T he new music major appears hastily put together and und er-p lanned .. .the morale of the humanities faculty leaves something to be desired...Planning should be geared toward curricular balance...The music program should be ctwrdinated with other Philadelphia institutions or be disbanded.. The col­lege has the good fortune to have a first-rate d ean ."

The Wilford and Freeman buildings on north 33rd Street were accuired by the University last month for S8 million. Plans for the builings have not

been finalized.The Freeman Building is a three-

story factory immediately north of the National Guard Armory. The properts includes 54,300 square feet o f fioor space and a parking lot east o f the building. The cost of the property was $3.6 million with $2.4 million paid by the University and $1.2 million given to Drexel as a gift by the previous owner. The acquisision needed to be completed in 1986 to take advantage o f tax benefits created by the gift por­

tion of the sale.The Wilford Building is a six-story

structure containing 114,000 square feet of usable floor space. In addition, the parking lot at the corner of 33rd and Race Streets was purchased. The Wilford property was purchased for $5.5 million by Academic Propenies. Inc, Drexel University’s for-profit real

estate subsidiary.Funds for the purchases were made

F)r. Richard Ev Woodring, Dean of Ihc College o f Knglnccring at Drex- cl, has been named “ Delaware Valley linginecr of Ihc Year” for 1987 by the Delaware Valley chapter o f the lingiticering and Technical Societies Council.

Woodring has been instrumental in initiating programs that help minori­ty students prepare for careers in science and technology, and in im­proving mathematics and science education in the Philadelphia School District.

Me is the founder o f Philadelphia Regional Introduction for Minorities to Hngineering (P R IM E ). This Philadelphia-area consortium, which is dedicated to preparing minorities for careers in science and technology, is a nationally renowned pre-college minority program.

Using PRIME as a nuxiel, Woodr- jng recen tly he lped fo rm the Philadelphia Renaissance in Science and Mathematics (PRISM), a col­

laboration of colleges, businesses and industrial organizations devoted to im­proving math and science education in Philadelphia public schools.

In addition, he serves on the Board o f Directors o f the Academy of Elec­trical Sciences, through which disad­vantaged youths can complete their high school education and gain em p loy m en t in the e lec tro n ics industry.

Wwxiring joined the Drexel facul­ty in 1956 and has been Dean since 1974. Under his leadership, the Col­lege has seen unprecedented growth in size and reputation. During his tenure, enrollment in the College has doubled, while funded research has in­creased five-fold.

In 1984-85, Drexel ranked first in Pennsylvania and eighth in the U.S. in the total number of engineering degrees granted by private universities and colleges according to statistics compiled by the American Institute of Engineering Societies. The College is also recognized nationally and inter­nationally for its research ac-

For those students returning from Co-op this term, here is a recap of the news stories from the Fall term of last year.

September 26: Drexel alumnus Bennet S. Le Bow (EE, 1960) donated $3 million to the Univer­sity for the new engineer­ing building, completing a drive to raise $9 million for the project. The University joined the Ci­ty of Philadelphia and the Fashion Group of Philadelphia in sponsoring the second “ Philadelphia Dresses the World” , rais­ing money for Drexel’s historic costume collec­tion. Apple Computer and Drexel reached an agreement to provide reduced-cost upgrades for the 128 K Macintosh reducing the cost of upgrading a 128 K Macintosh to the 512 K enhanced Macintosh to $362.

October 3: An expen­sive Digital Equipment Corporation Microvax computer, worth about $30,000 was discovered missing from Disque Hall. Philadelphia police were called to the scene and an investigation was launched. There were no signs of forced entry. A delay in stainless steel equipment ordered for the serving area was cited as the reason for overruns of construction deadline on cafeteria renovation.

October 10: An unidentified man, who claimed to be a faculty member who had forget- ton his keys, was stopped by a security guard in Curtis Hall. When the guard became suspicious, the man fled and was later seen in Com­monwealth Hall where several books were reported missing. Accor­ding to Edward Smith, Director of Safety and Security “ the thief |was| working on more than just one campus and [was] part of a book theft ring.

October 17: Faculty Council clashed with President Gaither and the Board of Trustees over changes in the University 1986-96 Long Range Plan saying that the Plan plac­ed too little emphasis on education, and removed academic control from the faculty. An intruder was arrested on the fifth floor of Matheson Hall after allegedly striking a Drex­el Professor on the head with a rock. The suspect was apprehended by Earl Fields, a University maintenance man and held until Drexel security and Philadelphia Police arrived on the scene. The man was charged with burglary, criminal trespassing, aggravated assault, simple assault and possession of an instru­ment of crime.

Academic art flourishes at the Drexel Museumby A ndrew J , Schuessler

Triangle Staff Writer

Ninety-five years ago, Anthony J. Drexel founded the Drexel Institute of Technology. He intended it to be a bastion o f knowledge, an institution that would foster a love of science and art in its students, To further this end, he donated many fine works o f art, modern in his day, to the University Museum.

T o d a y w hen one en te rs the M useum’s permanent exhibit on the third floor o f the main building, one is transported to the America of the Victorian Era. The display is arrang­ed like an upper-class sitting room in the late 19th century. Paintings o f the period adorn the walls. Many o f them are portraits o f Drexel and his fami­ly. A few are the work o f Drexel’s father, who was an painter before he started his business career. The fur­niture is striking in its beautiful lines. The small plush upholstery makes it seem ornate yet delicate, and most likely uncomfortable. Costumes of the period, including long dresses with ruffles and frills, their waists pinch­ed in to accent the female figure, are also displayed. The dresses, like the ftimiture, are elegant, graceful and un-

main building. The Museum is also creating a facility for the restoration o f paintings.

In addition to support from Drex- el, the Museum receives funds from several sources. Among these are the J. Paul Getty Trust, the John Sloan Foundation and the Samuel Philes Foundation. The money from these funds and from various research grants aids the Museum with its manyfold tasks and objectives.

If one goes to see the permanent display, one does not see the whole Museum. Most o f the artworks are in storage, waiting to be moved to the Furness Building on the comer o f 32nd and Market Sts. The Furness Building is to be the M useum 's new home in the next few years. A few of the costumes are on display in the Nesbitt Building.

The University Museum is open from 1-4 p.m . every weekday.

comfortable. However,these styles merely reflect the way it was. Com­fort was sacrificed for dignity and quiet beauty.

The Museum possesses more than 7000 works o f art and in excess o f 7000 costumes from the Victorian Era. The Mu.seum’s specialty is academic

art. It is the only institute in the Phil­adelphia area with an extensive col­lection of this artistic style. The closest rival collection is that o f Princeton University. Academic art flourished in the late 1800’s and exhibits a rather precise technical style.

The University Museum does much

more than display art. Museum direc­tor Dr. Jean Henry stresses that the primary purpose o f a museum is to restore art. The University has just recently restored most o f its extensive collection o f sculptures, including the statue of Anthony J. Drexel on Market St. and the statues in the court o f the

November 7: A student struck his head against an overhead sprinkler in the Tower (the new dorm) causing massive water damage to and an evacua­tion of the entire building. The student sus­tained some superficial head injuries but was not seriously injured, although a considerable amount of his hair v.'as found in the sprinkler. Students were not allowed back into the building un­til 1:30 a.m. because of th e c \e a n -u p o p e ra t io n .

O v e r c o m p l i c a t e d O v e r r i d i n g

We have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that the Office of Student Information and Records did a pretty good job with schedule adjustment this term. Further, the people in charge o f the new student records system have apologized (elsewhere on this page) for the extreme slowness on Dec. 30, 1986. This is the second term running that The Triangle has praised O .S .I .R ., but we assure you that we are receiving no compensation for this.

The good news keeps cornin’ in. The add process has been streamlined; departmental rubber stamps are no longer needed, collegiate representatives are on hand to help, and faster computer response time have all helped to make schedule adjustment less the nightmare so many people had learned to dread each term.

But all is not well at Tally Control. Room 101, the place where Winston was tortured in O rw ell’s 1984, still causes a tremor in many brave souls fac­ing the prospect o f a closed section.

No fewer than six different procedures have been instituted by the six day colleges. The new override procedures simplify the process in the best cases and completely confuse the would-be student in the worst. Even O .S .I .R . felt the need to help students unravel the mystery. A one page instruction set ex­

plains it all.It is here that we find that to enroll in a closed section taught in the College

o f Business and Administration the student must go to class, get the professors permission, track down the department head for his or her departmental stamp, and then head back to Tally Contol, back to qpother line.

At Nesbitt the professor isn’t even part o f the process; here you go to the Dean’s office. After approval you wait at Tally.

The Colleges o f Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Information Studies all allow you to bypass the Dean too, by seeing the collegiate represenative at Tally Control. However, the above procedures brilliantly shine when held near the policy devisd by the College o f Engineering. Its policy is contorted, requires the use o f its own override form, and delays the schedule adjustment process.

The real difficulty in working with these new procedures is that students must learn a number of them to schedule courses in different colleges. Students enrolled in inter-disciplinary face the greatest challenge.

Such distinct, and seemingly ill-conceived, procedures belie the fact that this is one institution, that it should attempt to shape its policies in a manner that support one another. Factionalism and inconsistency only serve to under­mine the “ uni” in university.

Drexel needs to adopt a single policy that addresses the needs and concerns of all seven colleges. It must also be sensitive to the student; the sole reason the whole organization exists. Every attempt should be made to handle cases on an individualized basis rather than by use o f a simple rule every time.

If professorial egos and temperaments are a hindrance to such uniformity, then a college Dean or the Vice President for Academic Affairs will have to declare rank.

The colleges and O .S.I.R . have almost three months to formulate a new policy. The current set should be abolished at the close o f schedule adjust­ment this term. A new set will be expected in the spring.

S c h e d u l e A d j u s t m e n t A p o l o g y1j We apologize for the unacceptable delay during the Pre-Term' Schedule Adjustment Day on December 30, 1986

i Those students whose first interaction with the new STURECS (stu­dent records computer system) was Pre-Term Schedule Adjustment Day (December 30) must be wondering - what is this? What hap­pened? Is this what we have to look forward to in the future?

Well here’s what happened!

A larger number of students than expected showed up at 10:00 a.m.,

At 10:00 a.m. there were 50 users on the STURECS system, in addition to those in the Grand Hall who were processing your changes, resulting in a response time slower than needed to effectively service the number of students waiting.

At 10:30 a.m. the decision was made to reduce “ other” users from 50 to 20. This was implemented at approximately 10:45 a.m. and as a result the response time was reduced by 50%,

At 11:00 we suffered a communications link hard­ware problem which rendered the terminals inoperable until the mechanical problem was diagnosed and cor­rected at 11:45 a.m.,

From this point in time until 4:00 p.m. STURECS was operating effectively, but the damage had been done - long lines, disgruntled students, and a frustrated staff who had planned for and wanted this day to be a success,

At 4:00 p.m. the system went down briefly due to an audit file which had reached its capacity; this should not and will not happen in the future.

STURECS has been implemented to improve Drexel’s service to its students and the experience with STURECS during the Fall Quarter Adjustment and Drop/Add periods demonstrated its potential.

We sincerely apologize for the lengthy delay you may have ex­perienced on December 30 and we will do everything in our powerto prevent its reoccurrence. c 'riiD c/-c ^

Pro wrestling

‘ ‘And in this corner, weighing......and all the King’s men...

Pro wrestling and comedy. The act and the result. I t 's not fake, just well rehearsed and campily acted.

Last Saturday NBC pre-empted Saturday Night Live (an action many considered merciful on viewers) in

favor o f the Satur­day Night Main Event, a collec­tion o f profes­sional wrestling bouts; a night of one-act plays.

Pro-wrestling.V And I watched

Ken Blackney „ f it, or

at least as mu<;h as I could tolerate before irreversible brain damage began.

A number o f images ran through my mind as the second match began. Wrestling today is like the evening soaps Dallas and Dynasty. The Main Event is a soap opera for adults who act like children. A soap with actors who are childish, desparately trying to act like adult actors. If the whole damn thing weren’t so campy, trashy like the

worst o f “ B” movies, it just wouldn't be any fun at all.

But there are good things to be said. The scripting, choreography, and direction are supierbly tuned.to the au- _;, dience. The build up and climax that w asn 't quite the end. Like the gentle false ending o f Friday the 13th (when there was only one Friday), a wrestl­ing match sometimes has two endings, two different decisions. Some times two referees. Come back with me now to network television’s first steel cage match. Come back to last Saturday as Hulk Hogan and a challenger (I don 't remember his name and I d idn 't take notes) enter the steel cage for a fight to the finish. Only one man leaves the cage.

First, some background. A steel cage match takes place in a regular wrestling ring. A steel (probably aluminum) cage surrounds the rink. It 's not really a cage though; it has no bottom and no top. The wresters enter the ring sans referee—anything goes the announcer told me. The winner is the man who reaches the ground first by climbing up and over the cage. (Sounds kind o f cowardly to me.) Now back to the match.

Our wrestlers enter the ring. They fight. They each try to climb out, but are pulled back by the opponent. Finally each man is reeling in pain. They '«ach start the climb; from op ­posite ends o f the cage, o f course. Wait—w hat's this? Another referee appears. Now there are two, they stand on opposite sides o f the cage waiting for a wrestler to drop.

Hogan and his challenger drop to the ground at exactly the same time. (We know this because they show it in slow motion later.) Each referee declares his man the winner. The anouncer, ig­noring that one o f these refs is not like the other, one o f these refs doesn’t belong, declares the match a “ d raw .”

Hogan, a “ bad-guy” turned good for those who d o n ’t know, re-enters the ring as does the opponent and his manager. Hogan beats ’em both up and, surprise, wins.

The second match, and the last one I could watch, pitted a Mr. Macho against George “ the A nim al” Steel (no relation to the cage). Macho is ac­companied by “ the lovely Elizabeth." W e'll call her “ T L E ” from now on. We know she is lovely because the an­nouncers refer to her this way 17

times. When TLE begins to speak. Macho says “ Shut up, woman. I d idn’t tell you to ta lk ,” or .something like that.

In the ring the Animal gives TLE a doll o f him.self. Macho takes the doll and performs an ingratitude upon it. Steel beats him up. Steel picks up TLE and leave the ring, apparently headed for his makeup room. Macho gets up, sees this apprehension and starts to take action.

But wait! The P.A. comes alive with music. An oriental man (names, names...) appears. He blocks Macho's advance. (We later find out that the oriental man was injured by Macho in a match some weeks ago.)

This whole scene w ouldn 't have been so funny hadn't one anouncer said “ M cMahon (Pro-wrestling an­nouncer Vince M cMahon), this is an outrage. This is kidnapping. So­meone's gonna go to jail for th is .”

Someone should.

Time running out fo r the Drexel clockThe Grass is always Greener

Fads may come and go, but every once in a while, a fad comes along, and, like a poor relation, stays and stays. I am sure you have all guessed the topic o f this column by now; clocks.O f course, clocks have been around

a long time, but I mean a certain kind o f clock, a special clock, that modem hourglass o f the modem stu­dent, the Official

E d w a rd lT a r tn e t t Drexel University------------------------ Chime Clock.Unless you just stepped off the bus you must have seen this fine timepiece adorning the desks and shelves of your friends and play-mates. You may even be one o f those who are lucky enough to own one of these superlative tickers.

The official D .U. chimer proudly stands a majestic eleven and one-half inches high. The D .U. seal has been deeply etched into its noble face. As if this weren 't enough, it also boasts " an authentic moon dial which rotates

daily and recaptures the charm o f the 29'/i day moon phase calender used by Colonial farm ers.” All this and more for just $195 (add four dollars for ship­ping and handling, plus a 6% tax for Pennsylvania residents).

Despite its amazing popularity, still some complain. These malcontents shower me with a literary deluge of diluvian proportions. Testy epistles arc hauled into the offices o f The Triangle by the ton. I have decided to respond to some o f these in hopes o f relieving the Postal Service o f this u n ­precedented burden. Below is a small sample o f letters that represent most of the questions and complaints from these big cry-babies.

Dear Ed,I was very disappointed when I

received my Official Drexel Univer­sity Chime Clock. It says in the ad that the moon dial is authentic. Excited by this claim I purchased several o f these limited edition clocks. Imagine my chagrin when I recieved the clocks and found that the dials were not authen­tic at all, in fact, there's not one piece of moon rock in the whole clock. Why

is this obvious charade allowed to continue?

Marc Berson

Yo Ed.

1 just got that Drexel clock. 1 had a real tough time assembling it. It d idn 't come with any instructions for how to put it together!

Tony DeVicto South Philly

Dear Mr. HartneU,1 purchased an Official Drexel

University Chime Clock for my grand­mother for Christmas. 1 was impress­ed with the deeply etched Drexel seal. It was quite deeply etched. In fact, it was so deeply etched that the seal ap­pears on the back o f the clock, it’s been etched clear through.

Naturally this sort of thing upsets the delicate workings o f a fine timepiece like the Official Drexel University Chime Clock. In short, it doesn’t tell time. Not only that, it doesn’t chime. My grandmother has been ^driven t6 illness by worry and concern. S he’s fading fast. What should 1 do?

Algernon Festone, Mudville, Deleware.

So you see, dear readers, that there is no joy in Mudville tonight. Mr. Ber­son, let me assure you, there has been no hoax. The dial is indeed authentic. It is made from metals mined on the moon, just like the dials o f those char­ming Colonial farmers.

As for your problem Tony, I am slightly befuddled. No assembly is re­quired, the clock comes complete and ready to wind. Perhaps you should call Seiko.

Your situation, Mr. Festone, is the most distressing that 1 have ever heard. I suggest you send for a new clock and a priest. I wish you luck.

1 urge all readers to immediately avail themselves o f the opportunity to purcha.se an Official Drexel Univer­sity Chime Clock, if indeed you don’t purchase several. This offer may not last, but these fabulous chronometers will.

for the first few moments with my roommate. “Anique”—nothing more, just “Anique”—was her name. Change the “A” t9 a“U ”and you’ve got a description.

When they asked what type of roommate I wanted, I didn’t Know that I needed to be more specific than non- smoker. I could swear I saw a picture of Anique on a postcard I got from London. Within five minutes, I found out that she was an Art History stu-

I was just about ready to put in for a room transfer when she

reached into her leather backpack, pulled out a can o f Suisse Mocha and offered me a cup. Okay, I

decided I’d keep an open mind. As we sipped our cups, I

found out that Anique and I shareiqLthe same fondness for Cary .Grant j

That gave us plenty to talk about.

Making it big on Skid Row Random reviews from oiir growing pileby M ichael PaveseTriangle Staff Writer

A m ulti-m illion do llar movie tnusica! based on a hit off-Broadway sliow based on a grade " Z ” Roger Cornian low budget horror movie? Sounds like a bad dream, but Frank O z’s “ Little Shop o f Horrors” is the best movie musical to come by in years, and it truly is a musical, com­plete with large production numbers, massive sets, two lovers, and a blood­thirsty plant.

"Little Shop” started out as a I960 tlieapie horror film. Shot on a schedule o f two days and one night, the only redeeming value o f the piece of garbage was the brief appearance of Jack Nicholson as a masochistic dental patient.

In 1982, Howard Ashman and Alan Menken wrote the book and lyrics for the musical based on the film. It im­mediately became a hit, winning critical acclaim and became a box of­fice success, spawning touring com­panies and major city productions.

” Little Shop,” the movie, is true to the play in almost every way. As the lilm opens, we are still in I960, in downtown Skid Row, ‘‘where depres­sion is just status quo. ’ ’ The derelicts lie in the doorway o f the only shop on Skid Row, M ushnik's Flower Shop. When Mr. Mushnik decides to close the shop because ‘‘business is deader than the plants ," Audrey, a dippy blonde worker convices Seymour, her klutzy co-worker, to show Mushnik an unusual plant that he acquired during a total eclipse o f the sun. ‘‘By putting the strange and interesting plant in the w indow , it m ay a t t r a c t som e business.” says Seymour.

Sure enough, Audrey II, named in honor of Seymour’s secret love, brings ill the customers, and business blooms. Seymour showers the plant with love, affection, and mulch, but Audrey II has special eating habits; it lives on blood!

As Audrey II grows and grows, Seymour grows anemic. Audrey II needs more blood than Seymour can supply, and convinces him to kill so­meone for dinner. But who? How

Rick Moranis and Ellen Green, the stars o f Little Shop o f Horrors.

about A u d rey ’s sadistic dentist boyfriend, Orin Scrivello, DDS (Doc­tor o f De Sade), whose thrills come from inflicting pain on his patients, nurses, and poor winsome Audrey, m uch to S e y m o u r ’s and M r. Mushnik’s chagrin. What is ptwr lit­tle botanist Seymour to do?

Top honors go to everyone involv­ed in this film. The acting is campy, but still believable. Ellen Green, reprising the role she originated on stage, is sympathetic, and can belt out a song like no other. H er yearning to get out o f Skid Row in a song called “ Somewhere That’s G reen ,” is a tribute to the suburban never-never land o f the movies and TV shows of the 60’s. As nerd cum hero, Seymour, Rick Moranis, (from “ Ghostbusters” , and Bob McKenzie on SCTV) is very good, though his singing voice could use a little help. As Orin, Steve M ar­tin gives a hysterical performance. One has to wince as he drills, nix the novicane. He does use gas ,though, on himself. Ronette, Crystal, and Chif­fon, the Skid Row Supremes, are played by Michelle Weeks, Tichina Arnold, and Tisha Campbell. They are the “ greek chorus” , who take us from scene to scene, commenting on the ac­tion and setting the tone. In small cameos, the pain happy dental patient played by Bill M urray is fall down funny, as is John Candy, WSKID

Row’s only radio annoucer. As Audrey II’s voice, Levi Stubbs o f the4 Tops gives the plant a character all

its own.Frank Oz, the director responsible

for the Muppet movie, directs with a 50's flair and a campy attitude. Special honors go to .set designer, Roy Walker and plant designer Lyle Conway. The Skid Row set is huge, but complete in every detail, including a working elevated subway car. Audrey 11, designed by Conway, is a living plant, almost. Its lips move like a humans, and its vines can do almost anything, including dialing a telephone. The amazing thing is that the plant is real­ly there, in the shop, fighting with Seymour, and not cut out. and pasted on the screen.

All in all. “ Little S hop" is great film. One o f the ten best fihns o f the year, but definitely the best muscial in a long while.

Here’s an interesting piece o f trivia. In the original ending, the one used in the first movie and the play, Audrey II eats the whole cast and takes over the planet. This was filmed at preview showings, and the audience loved the film up to the part where everyone dies. Frank Oz had to reshoot the en­ding to suit the audience, so that gocxl prevails, bringing the movie over budget by a few million dollars.

Verdery and synthesist Craig Payton. The songs on this album are quite reminiscent o f the ’New A ge’ music styles promoted by such record labels as Windham Hill and Dancing Cat. Like other New Age music this album is peaceful, relaxing music which re­quires little effort on the part o f the

I listener. On the other hand the listener who docs pay some attention to the album will not go unrew arded. Verdery is an extremely talented classical guitarist whose excellent work on this album is one o f the few successful classical-jazz fusion efforts

I available today. This is recommend- ,cd li.stening for anybody who is in-

Kent Jordan - Night Aire This is a collection of original com­

positions by a modem jazz quartet led by flautist Kent Jordan. The rest o f the band is comprised o f Elton Heron on electric bass, Darrel Lavigne on keyboards, and Herman Jack.son on drums. The songs on this album are fairly good but somewhat lethargic at times, with all but two o f the cuts at an extremely slow tempo. Extended listening could cause listeners to lapse into a coma or at least fall asleep. Flute afficionados may enjoy this effort, especially as late night study or meditating music, but it’s not a crucial addition to your jazz collection.

The City - Foundation At first glance it seems as though

this album may be a great find; the leader and keyboardist, Peter Mclan, produced the first two Men at Work albums and the first album by Mr. Mister. In addition the drummer, Jerry Speiser, was a member o f Men at Work. The other instrumentalists, guitarist Stuart Mathis and bassist Wade Biery, are also talented per­formers. Billy Trudel, the vocalist, is an adequate if not exciting singer. Un­fortunately, adequate also describes the album. There is nothing specifical­ly wrong with the album, but then again there is nothing really interesting or exciting about it either. Many bet­ter albums of this pop-rock genre are available, so why buy this one?____

P L A T O O NNo one learns their names

by Adam GeibelTriangle Staff Writer

Platoon is the semi-autobiographical e.xperiences o f director Oliver Stone as a nineteen year-old infantryman in the Republic o f Vietnam, circa 1969. Charlie Sheen plays the part o f a middle-class volunteer who quit col­lege and entered a world o f disillusion­ed. poor draftees. Obviously a bad move. He gradually adjusts to his hellish environment after surviving a period o f forced anonymity—a time when the newest arrivals to combat are expected to be killed because o f their lack o f experience, and therefore no one bothers to learn even their name.

Sheen eventually becomes a neutral observer caught between his platoi'n’s two factions. One group is led by the

co m p e te n t , f r iend ly Sgt.

Lacking a clear cause for fighting the Vietcong and led by weak officers, the platoon’s factions turn against each other. What evolves is a situation more madden­ingly chaotic than the plot o f “ Apocalypse N ow .”

Invariably, “ Platoon” will be com­pared to the other movie, if only because o f the father and son relation­ship (Martin Sheen, Charlie’s father, p la y ed the c e n t ra l ro le in “ A p o c a ly p s e ” ). T h e re a re similarities. Both were filmed in the Philippines without the U.S. A rm y’s stamp of public-relations approval.

Filmed during A quino’s peaceful takeover of the Philippine government. “ Platoon” does not attempt to preach about the war’s motives or causes. The characters are merely trying to survive their one-year sentence, the more no­ble ones trying to retain some shred o f humanism.

This movie is realistic (more so than the surreal “ Apocalypse N ow ” ) in its look at life in Vietnam at the lowest organizational levels. Against a visual­ly stimulating background. Stone does an excellent job conveying exhaustion and frustration. Whether this is due to his experiences, the excellent technical assistance, or the actors and extras be­ing forced to live their roles in the jungle, it makes “ Platoon” worth seeing.

Sailing up the Mosquito Coast1 Something fishy in Center City

by W illiam F ra tiTriangle Staff Writer

The latest collaboration between Peter Weir and Harrison Ford (the previous one being “ W itness” ) is a cross between “ The Swiss Family Robinson” and the “ A -Team” . The best elements from each are taken to produce “ The Mosquito C oas t" , an excellent production that was filmed on location in Cen­tral America.

Harrison Ford is extremely good in the role o f an inventor obsessed with just living o ff the land and not relying on modern technology. He wants to leave America because he feels that it will be destroyed by nuclear weapons. He takes his family to Mosquita where he builds a new house in the jungle, plants a garden, and invents a machine that makes ice.

Leaving society and living out in the wilderness is taken from “ The Swiss Family Robinson” and the building o f necessary tools from what is available is taken from the “ A -T eam .” What makes this

movie work is that not too much time is spent emphasizing either o f the.se things. It’s established right away that Allie Fox is a genius in­ventor and when he comes up with little inventions that make things much easier, we are amused but not in disbelief.

The ice machine makes one o f the movie’s most important points. No matter how independent we think we are from modern technology and its effects, we are never total­ly free from it all. Allie can’t stand living in America. He will only buy American made goods, but the stores only sell foreign goods. He feels that everything is corrupt. But then he goes off to Mosquita and builds a machine that makes ice out of fire. When this machine is destroyed, it pollutes the water and m akes the su r ro u n d in g area uninhabitable. Another ironic point is that this machine and the house that was built was done with the aid of a chain saw, another product of modern technology.

While this screenplay is enter­taining, Ihc real fntertainnicnl

comes for the excellent production values and the performances. The construction done to build the tree houses, boats, and ice machine are magnificent. The camera work makes these bungalows seem like the White House.

Harrison Ford is a sure bet for an Academy Award nomination, playing the obsessed father. River Phoenix (seen in this sum m er’s “ Stand by M e” ) plays the oldest son who first admires and respect his father and then slowly become alienated from him,

Peter W eir’s direction is worthy o f praise. He keeps the movie go­ing at a fair pace. He spends just enough time on the inventions that Allie makes to keep the audience amused, but not drowsy. These in­ventions are things that were made with the available materials to help make life easier in the jungle.

This movie is a fine piece o f film making. It is definitely worthwhile to see this movie on the big screen where it belongs. Much o f its ef­fect will be lost in the translation to video.

Normally a guest at a restaurant ex­pects warm, hospitable attention upon entering. This was indeed the case upon entering the Fish Market, located at 18th and Sansom Streets. The night was rainy and everyone had gotten soaked while looking for the place. Upon arriving we were greeted and shown a place to hang our wet ac­cessories. The atmosphere surroun­ding the company I was with was somewhat restrained, notwithstanding some busywork by the waitresses.

At one point I excused myself to go lo the men’s rest room. This gave me a chance to check out the establish­ment. My first impression o f the restaurant was that it was pleasant, and I was especially impressed with its decor. Too bad I didn’t feel the .same way about the small, unkempt m en’s room. The restaurant itself is separated into three sections, with a combined capacity of 185 people.

From the moment I came back to

my table I was given friendly assistance with my drink orders. 1 had a limited amount o f time to read the menu because the waitress insisted on taking the menu from me. She also in­sisted on telling us what she would or would not select if she were eating with us. Occasionally the busperson French-served rolls to everyone. Un­fortunately they were cold and as hard as a rock.

By the time the drinks arrived there was complete confusion regarding the orders. The .same situation occurred when the salads arrived. Of the four salads the most popular seemed to be the Garden Lettuce Medley, which was not much o f a medley in light of the single variety o f lettuce served. In addition we were entertained during dinner by the waitress, who was ner­vously filling the pepper shaker in front o f us. The soups that were listed were the Manhattan Clam Chowder and the Crab and Corn Bisque, the former being the better o f the two.

Surprise! Dinner arrived right on time. However we w eren’t really in­

terested in the complaints about the c h e f s cooking made by one of the waitresses. 1 chose the Pennsylvania Rainbow Trout, which was fine but hardly spectacular. The person sitting across from me chose a more appetiz­ing entree. His was the California Bouillabaisse containing lobster, clams, mussels, and shrimp in a red sauce with saffron and permxl. Each dish came with a nice mixture of crisp vegatables that were lightly fried. Water was not served, and halfway through the meal someone had to re­quest it.

When we were all through and the employees had finished lounging around making conversation, dessert and coffee were suggested. Many of us decided to have pumpkin pie due to the season. The coffee was served ice cold and tasted .somewhat like an old shoe. Given the disappointing .ser­vice and average fixxi portions the price range o f $11 to $24 was somewhat extravagant. Overall the mediocrity o f this restaurant docs not merit a repeat visit.

Basketball team wins in two overtimesBy Don FeilcrOf The Triangle

The Drexel University Men's Basketball Team staged an electri­fying. come-from-bchind 90-85 victory Wednesday evening in their East Coast Conference opener against Lafayette. Lead by Michael Anderson, who posted game highs of 32 points, 15 rebounds, and 6

steals. Drexel overcame a 17 point halftime deficit to win in two overtimes.

Drexel, coming off a lacklu.ster 3-6 non-conference performance which included an 83-82 upset at the hands o f Kings College last Saturday, looked as though they were headed toward another sub- par outing at the outset o f the con­test. At the 17:58 mark, the Dragons held a 6-3 lead. Over the next 8 minute.s, Lafayette turned on the afterburners, outscoring the Dragons 20-3. Billy Hughes lead the charge, scoring 8 o f his 24

ints during the span. Lafayette

continued to dominate the half, opening up their biggest lead at 4:24 when a Ron Roberts tally made the score 38-17. When the teams headed for the locker room, Drexel had managed to shave six points o ff the Lafayette lead, leav­ing the first half score at 42-25.

For the first 9 minutes of the se­cond half, Drexel and Lafayette traded baskets. With about ten minutes to play, the Dragons started to cut into the Lafayette lead. Three Michael Anderson free throws cut the margin to ten points, 54-44. With seven minutes to play, freshman Todd Lehmann hit the first of three consecutive three point goals to start the Dragon run. Fuel­ed by Lehmann’s sharpshooting and several A nderson s tea ls , the Dragons fought their way back in­to the gam e.

At the 2:09 mark, Anderson gave Drexel their first lead, 65-64, since the early going o f the first half with a twisting second effort off o f his own rebound. The lead was short­lived, however, as Hughes con­verted a three point play to give Lafayette a 67-65 advantage. Freshman Jim Hardy, who saw ex­tended playing time, calmly sank an 18 footer from the left wing to tie the game at 67-67. Lafayette once again took the lead, but Hardy evened the score again with a se­cond outside jum per. With the scored tied 69-69 and 19 seconds to play, Lafayette called time out to set up a final shot. When play resumed, Lafayette gave the ball to Hughes, who drove the lane and put up the potential go-ahead shot with just six seconds to play. The shot rolled o ff the rim, and Drexel’s Casper Cooper snared the rebound

Reynolds cut the DU lead to 79-77 with 34 seconds to play, but Lehmann answered im­mediately with two free throws to seemingly seal the Drexel victory. Unfortunately, someone forgot to tell Lafayette’s Ottis Ellis, who scored twice in the final 21 seconds of the extra period, the second shot coming with 3 seconds on the clock, to tie the game at 81-81.

The second overtime period pro­ved to be the final one. Anderson took the game into his own control, scoring eight consecutive points and ap p ly in g r e le n t le s s d e fe n se . Lafayette never led in the second OT.

Bring football to Drexel UniversityOut o f Bounds

It has come to my attention that, in a recent survey, the lack of a football team at Drexel seems to be of some concern . C ons ider ing the non- exi.stence of school spirit here at good old DU, a football team might be the shot in the arm w e’ve been looking

tfor. Why not? As I see it, if the various campus organizations pull together and put it th e ir se rv ic e s toward the resur-

Doi. Feiler------------------------ ball, we shouldhave no trouble bringing the pigskin back to good old Drexel U.

O f course, a new stadium, complete with h igh-tech s co reboard and astroturf, would have to be con- structea. I propose we build it on stilts, placing it over the train yard outside 30th Street Station. On off days, the Drexel University Outdoor Physical Education Center (or DOPE Center as we like to call it), can serve as a com­mon exam Ux;ation for N501. Physical Plant can handle the grounds keeping chores, repainting the turf before each contest.

O.S.I.R. will handle scheduling. We had hoped to start the program this fall, but our schedule came through blank. The Athletic Dept, has devis­ed a ticket policy for the new program. Tickets will be available at the gym on alternate Thursdays for all students who’s names begin with A through M, and on any prime numbered date for N through Z. In the event that all tickets are sold, the Engineering Dept, has come forward with a sellout over­ride policy similar to their Closed Sec­tion Override Policy (see cartoon, page 4).

W hat’s a football game without warm beet;, cold hot dogs, and flat soda? Never fear, sports fans, for this task should be right up D U F S ’ alley. They’ll provide all the snack fo(jd necessary, prepared fresh last season, except the fruit salad stand,#which will be h a n d le d by G A L A D . The

bookstore will handle the souvenir vending (hurry and take advantage of the First Quarter Sale, when you can purchase a Drexel Football pennant, generally a S5 value, for just $4.95!). For the budget conscious, used souvenirs will be available at a reduced price.

RLO has stepped forward and of­fered to handle the comfort facilities. Keys will be available at 6 p .m ., 10 p .m ., and 2 a.m. Wells Fargo guards will serve a dual function in the foot­ball plan. Besides providing security, the guards, with their two-way radios blaring away, will supply the deafen­ing crowd noise essential to a winn­ing football program.

To keep you entertained during the game, DUMUG is taking charge o f the electronic scoreboard. It is rumored that DUM UG is planning to develop their own software for use with the scoreboard. The DUsers will be in charge o f fetching coffee to keep the DUMUGs full. The Student Program­

ming Association will handle the halftime enterta inment, which should provide fans with an excellent oppor­tunity to visit the restrooms and con­cession stands.

In order to house the visiting players, the IFA will provide hotel ac­comodations for our opponents. The Triangle and the Lexerd will handle the program. The Triangle will take care o f misspellings and dark photos, while the Lexerd will provide the tacky photo captions. Additionally, se­cond half supplements will be made available and can be picked up at the Lexerd office in the spring.

Student Congress will do nothing, which is what they do best.

All told, this seems to be a reasonable proposal to me. Sure, there will be stumbling blocks, but it ought to be a whole lot o f fun.

Don Feiler is the Sports Editor o f The Triangle. Out o f Bounds appears every Friday.

Intramufals to begin soonSpecial to The Triangle

The 1987 intramural season for men and women is just a few days away. There will be leagues for men and women offered during the week, Mon­day through Thursday. Leagues will be determined on a first come, first serve basis due to the limited space. There will be two classes o f play for basketball, the Superstars and Class B. The Superstars league will be for the highly skilled and competitive in­dividuals. Each team in the Superstar league will be allowed one former or current intercollegiate player on their roster. The Class B teams will be for the average and intermediate skill level players with no current or former in­tercollegiate players.

If there are not enough teams to form two classes o f play for basket­ball, then the classes will be combin­ed and former collegiate players will be ineligible to compete.If interested in entering a team, pick

up entry forms in the M en’s Physical Education Office at the Phys. Ed. Center. Entry forms are due by 5 p .m ., Tuesday, January 13, in the M en’s Phys. Ed. Office. Play begins Monday, January 19.

Each team must be represented at a meeting on Thursday, January 15, at 4:30 p.m. in classroom A at the Phys. Ed. Center. Any team that is not represented at the meeting will be dropped.

Paid basketball officials are needed for the intramural games. Officials are paid $4 per game. The success of the league will depend on students who are willing and able to officiate. If in­terested, stop in and see Mr. Edwards by Thursday. January 15 in the Men’s Phys. Ed. Office.

An intramural singles squash tour­nament has been scheduled this quarter for men and women. Entries are available to all registered students, faculty, and staff. Entries are due by 5 p .m ., January 20.
