THE PHOENIX VOL. CII NO. 23 SWARTHMORE, PA • FRIDAY, APRIL 2. 1982 30 CENTS College Maintains Holdings in Nuclear Contractors By BILL GREEN Newt Editor According to its most recent public financial report, Swarthmore College Inc. owns $453,313 of stock in three of the seven prime contractors for nuclear weaponry in the United States. The September 1979 Report of the Investment Committee of the Board of Managers states, "The College ... wishes to act in a moral and socially responsible manner in the management of its endowment. Following the Quaker tradition, the Swarthmore College endowment portfolio avoids investments in companies engaging in the sale, manufacturing, and/or distribution of alcohol, tobacco, and munitions." Yet the College invests in various armament manufacturer—including Union Carbide, which prepares bomb-grade uranium and plutonium at its Oak Ridge Tennessee facility; Bendix, which produces the electronic components in nuclear weapons and Dupont, which makes Plutonium at its Savannah River plant in South Carolina. These companies, and several others in which the College invests, also manufacture conventional weaponry. When asked to esplain the discrepancy between the College statement on "munitions" and College investment practice. Vice President for Finance Lawrence L. Landry claimed, "there is no such policy." When asked for clarification, Landry stated. "I'm not sure what's written down where, but over at least the last several decades, the College has not in actuality avoided investment in companies which are in the defense business." Landry explained further that the policy in the Investment Committee Report was not based on a formal Board of Managers resolution, nor, obviously, on College practice, but on "a misunderstanding." He said thai the statement was correct regarding tobacco and alcohol. "Several times, our investment managers have inadvertently bought stock in tobacco and alcohol companies. These errors were speedily corrected." Landry said that the College traditionally avoided investing in certain munitions companies, but never generally avoided investments in munitions. ML 2: before (left) and after (right) fire which occured last Friday morning. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. In the Lawrence Landry aftermath of the blaze, the College is tightening security measures in all dorms and buildings on campus. Women's Studies Examined By DEBBIE SPIELBERG Phoenix Suff Writer A Colloquium on Women's Studies will be held tomorrow to give participants a chance to raise questions on women's role in all disciplines, and to discuss what is needed and possible for women at Swarthmore. The Colloquium is being held because, as senior Sarah Lawrence says, "something is definitely lacking" at Swarthmore. The speakers will include . Wendy Brown, a Haverford political scientist; Julie Mattlei, a Wellesley economist; Ellen Pollack, who teaches English at the University of Pennsylvania; and Elsa Honig Fine, editor of Woman's Art Journal. They will address women's roles from various perspectives. Lawrence will moderate the panel discussion. Lawrence is not convinced that a women's studies program is the answer at Swarthmore but she is sure that there "definitely needs to be change." She finds the representation of women's roles "pathetic" and "insulting." According to a recent survey, only eight courses related to women's studies are offered at Swarthmore, and many of these are not taught every year. For Lawrence, the Colloquium will provide an opportunity "to pull together themes" developed by others at Swarthmore interested in the issue. Interest in women's role, especially in academia, has been made clear by the recent visits of author Arianna Stassinopoulos, Carol Gilligan, who spoke on women in psychology, and Nancy Chodorow, who gave a lecture at the Biology and Politics conference. The Women's Center also recently held an open meeting to discuss the possibilities of women's studies. Lawrence hopes that this Colloquium will provide a chance for all those who are becoming aware of the problem and possibilities to focus on the issue. Lawrence was the prime instigator and organizer of the Colloquium. A member of the subcommittee on Women's Concerns, she had long been interested in the topic and gradually decided that an event like the Colloquium was needed to encourage and initiate thinking about Women's Studies. Three other students, Ellen Ansell, Thea Abu El Haj, and Jenny Allen are helping to organize the event. Cause of ML 2 Fire Remains A Mystery By BRUCE ABERNETHY Phoenix Staff Writer The exact cause of the fire that destroyed Mary Lyon 2 last Friday remains speculative, but certain policies and decisions are now being considered as the College looks to the future and attempts to cope with the tragedy. Two plausible explanations according to Vice President of Kinance Lawrence Landry include deliberate setting of the fire or the result of an electrical failure. The building was unoccupied at the time, and the extent of damage makes it difficult for insurance teams and fire investigators to pinpoint either the cause or the exact origin of the fire. Current speculation is that the fire had started quite a while before it was discovered. by a College security officer. The insides of the building had probably already been gutted at the time of discovery, and it was inevitable that the fire would break through to the roof, despite the concerted efforts of local firefighters. No evidence of forced entry into Reagan Cuts Are Not Stimulative By NOEL TRASK Special to The Phoenix Industrial Cof\ferencp At a Swarthmore conference last Saturday on US Industrial Policy, a field of distinguished experts from government, industry, and academia, including Congressman Robert Edgar and Swarthmore Board Chairman Eugene M. Lang '3B, analyzed the current industrial crisis and outlined policy directions the US might adopt in order to revitalize American industry. During the day's proceedings, a consensus emerged on the inadequacy of the Reagan Administration's de facto industrial policy and on the failure of macroeconomists to propose viable strategies aimed at restructuring the country's weakened industrial base. Rejecting the Administration's claim that the problem with the US economy is excessive government involvement, the panelists all called for an active government role in the formulation and implementation of industrial policy. Under the heading of industrial policies, the conference participants proposed strategies for making American industries competitive in the world marketplace. In the keynote lecture. Professor Ronald Muller of American University warned the audience that "we are on the brink of a major global and US economic crisis," and claimed that if the country is to revitalize its industry, it must abandon acrossthe-board solutions advocated by mainstream economists. Muller stressed the importance of shaping tax policy so as to create investment incentives in targeted high-technology sectors, such as semiconductors and computer software. In addition, Mullcr called for the establishment of a National Industrial Development Bank that would make loans to smaller businesses that are the major source of new jobs in the economy. Edgar, chairman of the Northeast-Midwest Congressional Coalition, led off the first panel discussion, "The Sunbelt- Frostbelt Cleavage," by arguing that the regional problems facing the Northeast and Midwest demand regional solutions. He underlined the role the federal government should play in the development of regional policy. "The final word," said Edgar, "is the recognition that the federal government has to learn how to make investments in America." Lang, founder and president of REFAC Technology DevelopmentDevelopment Corporation and former subcommittee chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Industrial Innovation, opened the afternoon session with a harsh attack on American management practices. He maintained that American management is more interested in earnings-per-share than in risk-taking and long-run investments. "We have a management/ said Lang, "which doesn't really innovate ... they imitate." Lang argued that government should take the lead in promoting technological innovation by adjusting the corporate tax structure so that tax advantages would be limited to investments in research am* innovation.

Nuclear Stocks Unsettling Despite the Board of Managers' stated policy of noninvestment in "munitions," Swarthmore College holds stock in several major nuclear weapon production facilities, as well as other arms factories. It is easy to see why the College's financial managers find it difficult to avoid investing in the manufacturing of armaments. The massive US defense budget is distributed over a very large number of firms, and many corporations produce weaponry as a small but profitable side-line to their civilian economy products. An H-bomb factory here, a chemical warfare facility there tend to get lost in annual corporate statements. These difficulties, however, do not justify the current College practice of preaching "social and moral concern," while quietly performing actions inconsistent with its principles. If the Board of Managers finds that its responsibility for "fiduciary prudence" prohibits divestment from the manufacture of munitions, it should acknowledge that fact openly, and find other ways to make clear its opposition to the production of strategic weaponry. It is ironic that profits from the sale of armaments presently subsidize our education. The College's apparent dependence on the Defense Department budget merely parallels that of the larger society, where communities, corporations, and individuals compete for the right to produce and sell weapons. Total divestment from all munitions firms hardly seems possible to students and administrators forced to deal with already tight budgets. Besides, it is not clear that such disentanglement from what Eisenhower called "the military-industrial complex" is really possible under current circ*mstances. But the College should search for a more responsible approach to the problem, one which truly—and publicly—exhibits a sense of moral and social concern. LETTERS One-Sided Treatment of Smoyer Issue To the Editor: The role of\*he press is one that can bring enlightenment to its reading public, yet it has a responsibility that is alt too often brushed aside in the search for "truth." It is a responsibility to provide both sides of an issue, and to keep intact the dignity and respect of the individuals involved. People don't seem to realize the power of the press until it directly confronts and affects them. Often the problem is not with what is said . but with what is missing. Either things that are implied (though not explicity stated), or the important "other side" of the issue that just isn't there. It is very hard to defend yourself from an accusation by the Press, because you are operating, in effect, on its terms. It is as if the "Press" has made a statement, and you are forced to answer it. For. many reasons, (too numerous to count) it may not be worth the hassle to try to defend yourself. Whether intentionally or not, the press all too often portrays the quote "No comment" as an admission of guilt. But this is a phenomenon that we, the public, are also frequently guilty of. 1 am not necessarily questioning the validity of what was published in last week's article on the tenure decision of Dave Smoyer; what 1 am questioning is the appropriateness of the article and the one-sided., way in which it was presented. I am not sure that the damage casued by the article can be undone, but 1 think it is important for people to take the article for what it is: an issue that 1 feel could (and should) have been dealt with a little more tactfully and with a greater awareness of its consequences. Bruce Abernathy *B5 Stassinopoulos Philosophy Is Filled With Inadequacies To the Editor: Presenting herself as an advocate of human liberation, Ananna Stassinopoulos espouses a philosophy that is dangerously oppressive in its inadequacies. Her concern is integrating rational and non-rational ways of being, and liberating people through introspection and self-discovery. We agree that human nature must be re-defined. The exclusively rational model must give way to a more holistic view of human understanding. We also agree that an important element of liberation is realizing our capabilities and rejecting oppressive self-definitions. However, in her emphasis on individual power Ms. Stassinopoulos denies institutionalized oppression. In her analysis, victims are solely responsible for theiF social situation, and can freely choose to escape it. Given the example of battered wives, Ms. Stassinopoulos insisted on seeing their plight as a purely personal one. According to her analysis, by looking into herself, a woman should spontaneously find the self-worth to reject her relationship with her violent husband. This ignores the fact that battered woman as a group have been socialized to see themselves as guilty, and their beatings as somehow justified. This is not just a childhood message, but is likely to be constantly reflected in any dealings with the police, the neighbors, and even churchworkers and psychologists. Ms. Stassinopoulos gives no recognition to the conglomeration of social forces maintaining an oppressive psychology. Ms. Stassinopoulos also denied the economic realities of oppression. Also on the topic of battered wives, she stated "don't give me that economic argument," ignoring that many women simply cannot afford to leave the husbands who are beating them. Similarly, responding to the situation of poor children in the South Bronx, she negated educational, political and economic disadvantages in stating that these children are as free to self-actualize as any others. This is a fresh echo of the American Dream, already taught in these children's ill-equipped and inadequate schools. When these children confront the failure that they as a class are destined for. Ms. Stassinopoulos also offers the explanation that it is their fault for not trying hard enough. She ignores the structural imbalances of power in Our society, which severely restricts our latitude of choice. Another important contradiction in Ms. Stassinopoulos' philosophy is her attempt to generate community within an entirely individualistic framework. Hinting at the need for new values, she gave them no content. She only stated that each individual should look within her/himself, with no reference to what they will or should And. The absurdity of this is evident: how can people build a community if there is no foundation of shared values upon which the community is based? Ms. Stassinopoulos cannot seriously attack rationalism without confronting it as an important component of the ideology of sex, race, and class oppression. Although ostensibly challenging the current value system, she offers no alternative. Because it neither addresses collective oppression, nor redefines values. Ms. Stassinopoulos' liberation philosophy serves only to reinforce the oppressive status quo. Thea Abu El-Haj *B3 Molly Roth Amy Verstappen *B3 Race Question Lacks Validity To the Editor: This letter is in response to the lecture given on Mar. 20 on "The Scientific Concepts of Racial Inferiority" by John S. Haller. Jr." The abundance of research directed toward the "race question" might lead one to believe that there is of enigma that must be resolved. We entertain no such absurd debates because to do so is to lend credibility where none is due. The concept of racial inferiority was born out of the European's need to justify his actions both at home and abroad. We contend that the use of science to rationalize such actions is imprudent and that any 'conclusions' drawn are specious. Vacuous notions such as these were and still are employed to justify basic economic, political and social inequity. These are the larger issues that must be addressed. Any attempt to disprove a thesis of this nature indirectly serves to validate what is most recognizably an absurd argument. Therefore, the "race question" is one which is antiillectual. It should then, on those grounds, be laid to rest; energies in scientific research need be directed elsewhere. SASS Smoyer Article Disappointing To the Editor: Last week's article, "Questions Raised Over Smoyer," was disturbing and disappointing. The article, which should have focused on "whether or not Smoyer, in a primarily administrative role, should have given tenure according to the same standards as any other professor in the department," was instead an appraisal of Mr. Smoyer's aptitude as Athletic Director. We agree that it is appropriate for The Phoenix to raise pertinent questions about administrative procedures, but the article used Mr. Smoyer as a target instead of questioning the tenure process by which he was appointed. The article ends by stating, "what remains an issue is why an administrator has been judged according to the standards applied to faculty members in a tenure decision." We feel it is unfair of The Phoenix to judge an administrator on the basis of an incomplete and unconstructive survey of facts and opinions, and hope that future Phoenix reporting will stick to the issues.

the building has surfaced, and because of the severity of the fire's damage, it is unlikely that any will in the immediate future. Mary Lyon 2, as is the case with all Swarthmore College property, is insured under a comprehensive "package" policy, which guarantees replacement of any building at its present value. Before the fire, according to Landry, "there had been some talk of renovating both M L2 and M L 3, and turning them into condiminiums for faculty, the public, and perhaps students. Since Mary Lyon 2 had, by far, the majority of the square footage between the two, the idea of renovation has lost its appeal." The College is now expected to go along with a Property Committee recommendation to have ML2 and ML3 demolished. There are now three options before the Property Committee, which is working in conjunction with the insurance company. These include replacing the building at the same site, replacing the building at another site, or making some form of negotiated cash settlement. The Property Committee will make a full recommendation to the Board of Managers, who hope to make a decision on this issue at their next meeting on April 30. As for the remains of ML2, Landry asserted, "We are trying to salvage anything we can. We hope to save some of the stained-glass windows, and we are looking into the possibility of salvaging some of the stone." The eventoofff fire always raises questions about the safety of other buildings and the precautions being taken to prevent similar incidents. Landry revealed, "Because of the uncertainty surrounding the fire, security has been increased all over campus, and efforts are being made to reduce the chances of another fire." Parrish Hall is a building whose safety in the past has been called into question. Landry stated "It's a completely different situation; Parrish is a much safer building than ML2. Progress is being made on major renovation efforts, although most of the actual work is expected to be done over the summer." The Property Committee has allocated $1.5 million toward the installation of a new roof, new stairs, and new windows. The major project will be the construction of two fire-safe stairways, one on each of the ends of the building. ceiling* on the size of US corporations so that growth could no longer be accomplished largely through acquisition of other enterprises, but rather through innovation and the development of new industrial processes. "Let 'em work for their growth," argued Lang. Professor Kenneth Sharpe of the political science department shifted the focus of the conference from the question of specific industrial policies to the impact these policies might have on democratic procedures in the US. Sharpe warned of the dangers of adopting a corporatist approach to the formulation and implementation of industrial policy in the face of domestic political stalemate. Sharpe argued that because of the nature of the constitutional system and party structure of the US, political leaders might begin to "circumvent" normal democratic political channels, thereby setting in motion a process of slow erosion of democratic freedoms and rights. Sharpe also suggested that successful industrial policies leading to a certain kind of industrial growth might be selfdefeating. In his view, traditional' American growth patterns lead to inequities that are usually redressed through government welfare spending programs. In the concluding lecture. Professor Robert Reich of the Kennedy School of Government, speaking on the theme of "Industrial Policy, Political Coalitions, and Social Justice," outlined possible strategies designed to build a strong political coalition in favor of industrial adjustment as opposed to protectionist measures. Reich asserted, "The only way in which these protectionist coalitions can be forestalled is through the kind of political leadership that recognizes that insecurity lies at the basis of this coalition." In opposition to those who argue in favor of labor austerity and believe in tradeoffs between social justice and economic growth, Reich claimed that social justice measures such as adjustment programs aimed at minimizing the pain of transition to new jobs would have to be an absolutely essential part of any rational industrial strategy. Reich argued that such a sharing of the burden between management and labor would relieve worker anxiety, thereby loosening protectionist coalitions obstructing industrial progress. Also participating in the conference were David Harrison, director of the Washington office for the State of Michigan, Robert Avila, a leading expert on the automobile industry and a New York-based economic consultant, and Gail Russell of Wesleyan University, formerly of Swarthmore's political science department. The conference was organied by senior Steven Kargman and by Professor James Kurth of the political science department, who also served as moderator. Students March In D.C. By NATHANAEL FORTUNE Phoenix Staff Writer El Salvador Demonstration Close to 50,000 people assembled in Washington, DC Saturday, March 27 to protest US military involvement in El Salvador. At least 50 Swarthmore students and faculty participated in the march through Spanishspeaking and black neighborhoods of the city to the White House. The protest began with a long series of speeches by many of the organizers of the demonstration in Malcolm X Park. The central message presented by the series of speakers was the need for a broadbased "grass-roots" coalition to continue to push for the elimination of US military aid and advisors to El Salvador. Few of the speakers discussed the current situation in El Salvador and Central America in any detail. "The Central America issue," according to sophom*ore Erin Gramling, "is still in the preliminary stages. Coming down to this demonstration was the first step for many . students in expressing their oppositon/' Citing the need for further education of the US public, she noted that "this demonstration is not the end all and be all of the education process." Many students regarded the outcome of the demonstration as reassuring "It's good to know that you're not screaming into the wind. This turnout makes you realize that there are a lot of people who understand the need to protest US involvement," stressed Donna Mullarky, another participant. Not all .of the participants agreed that the march was productive. "This march probably won't accomplish a hell of a lot. Marches are good for getting people together in one place to gauge how many people are really concerned. The only effect will be to say things have come to a head," declared Susana Deustna. The demonstration was not without its defects. The number and length of the speeches delayed the start of the actual march from 1 PM to 2:30. Due to the size of the crowd, the Swarthmore contingent did not even reach the exit to Malcolm X park until after 3:30, and did not reach the White House until near 5 PM, thereby missing what had promised to be the more substantive speeches after the march. Particularly annoying to many attending the premarch rally were the "First World Singers and Poets," who performed while the demonstrators waited to leave the park. To the accompaniment of bongodrums, one of the singers incessantly asked the crowd, "What-ls-The-Way?" Apparently irritated by the singers reponse of "Re-Vo-Lu-Tion" and continual repetition, a large of the crowd responded "Peace" until the persistent chanter gave up in defeat. For other students, these defects were overshadowed by the march itself. Mullarky pointed out that it aimed at overthrowing a system of repression which has kept the people in poverty. The College Judiciary Committee has been examining the ramifications of misuse of the computing facilities and what to do about such misuse. The committee invites anyone interested to attend an open meeting on Tuesday, Apr. 6, 1982 at 4:00 p.m. in Martin 213 to voice their concerns and suggestions. News From The Real World Edited by Mitchell Hartman INTERNATIONAL •1.2 million El Salvadorans voted in U.S. supported and monitored elections for a constituent assembly Sunday. The Christian Democrats, led by Napoleon Duarte, polled 40% of the vote, bujt it appears likely that the other five right wing parties, led by the National Republican Alliance of Roberto d' Aubuisson (31%) which pledged during the campaign to abolish land reform and other social welfare programs and crush the rebels within three months, will be able to build a ruling majority coalition without any Christian Democrats. The Administration was pleased with the election, which the rebels had •The USSR is making new overtures to the Communist Chinese government in Peking, attempting to take advantage of recent Sino-American tensions over arms sales to Taiwan. Peking made no responses to the Soviet overtures of conciliation. The Russians are also reportedly strengthening ties with the Islamic revolutionaries in Iran, increasing trade interdependence and military support for Iran's war against Iraq. • I he ousting of the elected town council of Ei Bireh on the occupied West Bank for not "cooperating" with Israeli civilian occupation authorities has caused a week of strikes, demonstrations and violence in the West Bank, Gaza and Arab Israeli areas in the Galilee. Israeli soldiers have been pelted with stones and occasional Molotov co*cktails and have responded by Firing in the air or in a few instances at the legs of those in the crowd. The Palestinians claim Israel is subverting Palestinian aspirations to autonomy by ousting mayors not friendly to Israel and is consolidating power for prolonged occupation and eventual annexation by putting the West , Bank under more civilian administrative control. NATIONAL • The House Appropriations Committee provided an extra $ 1.3 billion for the Guaranteed Student Loan Progran, ensuring that no further cuts will be made at least through the academic year 1982- 83. President Reagan's proposed budget severely cut funds available for GSLs, and set $30,000 as the family income limit for receiving a GSL. It is also possible to demonstrate "appropriate need" if one's family income is above $30,000 and the additional money will hopefully fill the gap Reagan's new family salary limits would impose. The terms for next years GSLs are still not definite. •A protest in Washington, D.C. Saturday drew 6,000 (police estimate) to 50,000 (organizers' estimate) members of labor, minority, women's, Hispanic, leftist and student groups to prptest US intervention in El Salvador, on the eve of elections which the Left boycotted. In Philadelphia, at least 15,000 gathered Saturday night in an interfaith vigil to protest nuclear arms and the arms race. •The Reagan Administration is pushing to extend the Voting Rights Act for the next 10 years along with a provision that would require the "intent to discriminate" be shown to prove any electoral redistricting illegal. Senator Kennedy and others have proposed a competing version that would extend the Act forever and require that only "effect of discrimination" be shown to prove violation of the Act. Senator Orin Hatch (R Utah) said this will lead to racial quotas and lead to situations where "race and ethnicity would intrude into each and every public policy decision." For Senator Hatch, this would be a bad thing. CJC The following is the decision of the College Judiciary Committee concerning an appeal from decisions of the Student Judiciary Committee concerning a charge of harassment in connection with a comment on a sign C'heteros prefer red") posted for an a II- Callege activity. At a meeting on Mar. 16, 1982, with all members present, the College Judiciary Committee set aside the decision of the Student Judiciary Committee of Feb. 12 and 24, 1982 on the grounds that the Student Judiciary Committee did not have jurisdiction in this case. Our reasoning is as follows: After complaints were lodged by several students alleging a violation of the stated policies of the College (p. 31 of the Student Handbook), Dean Janet Dickerson referred the matter to the Equal Opportunity Officer for “mediation.” The College has laid down procedures to be followed in such cases (p. 75 of the Student Handbook). In this instance, the procedures were not followed. In particular, the procedure specifies that when a grievance has not been resolved and a hearing is indicated, the matter shall be heard by the expanded College Judiciary Committee and not the Student Judiciary Committee. We conclude, therefore, that the Student Judiciary Committee did not have jurisdiction in this case. Without passingjudgment upon the matters brought before the Student Judiciary Committeerwe set aside the decisions of the Student Judiciary Committee and direct ail those concerned to pick up again the Equal Opportunity Grievance Procedure. / For the College Judiciary Committee, P.

'Pippin' Amuses With Music, Magic and Mischief By PAUL JASKOT Entertainment Editor The life of Charlemagne's son is the only basic historical reference that Swarthmore's exuberant production of Pippin needs for a successful show. There is also very little plot; rather it is a celebration, in song and dance, of the life of a man who searches only for one thing—total fulfillment. Pippin, the production, acheives fulfillment for the audience in every way. Director Kurt Eichenwald e< hoes this sentiment. "We had a lot of problems at first with the S-varthmore Syndrome'—you kno v, people who say 'ya, sure I'll be on crew' and then never >how up, but I think, that the-r are a lot of surprises in this show frankly we're gonna knock your socks off!'' Some of the surprises included in Pippin'will be the reinterpretations of the script made by Eichenwald, musical director Bob Geraci, producer Joel Segal, and the company. They have decided not to follow the Broadway show exactly and have varied some plot details, even the ending. The emphasis of the production has been shifted away from the character of Pippin (Fred Evans), onto the troupe of players performing around him. The players' roles themselves are interpretated in new ways. Eichenwald has chosen to break the role of the Leading Player (which made Ben Vereen a star) into six roles. Each new player represents a possible source of fulfillment for Pippin and are played by Harry Schulz, Debbie Stern, Hayward Laßoo, Alice Jones, Lee Leitner, and Shannon Louden. These six pop in and out of the show at the most unusual times to narrate and guide Pippin in his search for satisfaction. The plot does not consist of a conventional storyline. Rather the show is a wonderful display of scenes of singing and dancing, peformed by the players for Pippin's pleasure and perusal. It is actually a play within a play; this illusion of reality runs through the entire show. Illusion is a descriptive word for this play because both Pippin and the audience are, as one player put it, "seduced to our way of life." The players seem to make the entire production a mystical and illusionary work. The opening number, "Magic to Do" sets the tone for the entire production with its myriad tricks, both technical and dramatic. It also presents the various themes through which Pippin searches for his fulfillment; intrigue, plots to bring disasters, humour, romance, sex (presented pastorally, of course), illusions and "battles, barbarous and bloody." The intrigue revolves around a plot by the ruthless and beguiling Fastrada (Karen -Mike Keene Searle), wife of Charlemagne, and mother of Pippin's half brother Louis (Neil r isher). Eager to get her rather wimpy and egocentric son Louis on the throne, Fastrada attempts to get rid of both Charlemagne and Pippin. Pippin also searches for satisfaction in the form of his worldly grandmother, Bertha (Julieann McGarry). She tells him to "take a little from the world" and relax. She attempts to explain that life is not all so serious, but as usual, this is not the advice Pippin is looking for. The rest of the themes follow suit as Pippin is led from one to the next, exploring all possibilities. All are wonderfully spaced by the players and beautifully choreographed by Jocelyn Roberts. This choreography is reason enough to see the show, especially in the orgy scene, exquisitely danced by Vicki Finlayson, Collette Mull, Jane Clough, Rebecca Rosenburg, and Audrey DaSilva. The technical wonders are a good reason to see the show. Eichenwald promises more technical effects than Swarthmore has ever seen and, with twelve set changes, there seems no reason to doubt this statistic. The surprises keep coming from all sides filling Clothier with the glitter and magic of the players playing. A word must be said aboutthe marvelous Fred Evans as Pippin. The energy that pervades the show is caught and held by him in all his scenes. Strongly played, he comes out as a totally believable character especially in his "simple life" scene with Catherine (Laurie Matheson), his romatic counterpart. As usual however, Pippin is blind to the wonderful life he has with her and continues his search elsewhere. Technical thanks must go to the lighting of Colin Wightman, the effects crewv and the stage managing of Bruce Mallory and the unbracketed Jenny Knapp So come to Pippin—see the magic, be seduced, and get away to a misplaced and mystical world. As the cast sings, "join us, sit where everybody can see" and enjoy. 'Pippin' will be in Clothier tonight and tomorrow at 8:15 p.m. Attractions and Distractions N or th- by-No rth west North-by-Northwest is a blithe, extravagant comedy-thriller built along classic Hitchco*ck lines. Cary Grant plays Thomhill, a debonair advertising executive who is kidnapped by an espionage organization which mistakes him for a mythical agent invented by the CIA. He's framed for murder in the UN building; the ensuing chase takes him north-by-northwest across the United States and ends on the carved-out faces of Mount Rushmore. —Cigi Salij The Last Wave Australian f immaking has recently come into its own and Peter Weir's The Last Wave exemplifies that burgeoning talent. Starring Richard Chamberlain as David Burton, a Sydney lawyer, and Gulpilil as one of his defendants, the film only nominally concerns a murder case; rather it focuses on the occult. Both direction and performances are controlled but what so impresses is Russel Boyd's cinematography; even clear blue skies became as haunting as the theme. —Erika' Siegel Friday, Apr. 2 Drama: The big event this week is not in Philly but right here at home with Swarthmore's own production of Pippin (Clothier, 8:15, see story), If that doesn't totally satisfy you for the weekend, Your Arm's too Short to Box with God is still at the Shubert (250 S.

Willets: The Perfect Initiation By JAN SUNDGREN Phoenix Stalf Writer Last spring, after the chaos of room-choosing was over, I contemplated the fact that 1 was to live in Willets with real anxiety. I had heard all the stories and there had been a frightening finality in the warning of upperclassmen. The compassionate assurances of my former roommate (who had chosen on 620) that I could visit him in Hallowell provided no consolation. 1 was to find, however, that living in Willets can be a surprisingly pleasant and healthy experience, especially for someone coming from that hardly palatial of dorms: all-male, off-campus ML-3. 1 quickly realized that many of the horror stories told about Willets were only half-true. While the rooms are not large, they are certainly not the "cubicles with padding on the bottom" that 1 had been led to believe. Once, in preparing for a surprise birthday party, we managed to get 40 people into one Willets double. (The official record for people-packing in a phone booth is 34.) The irritation caused by the noise levels! which is sometimes rather high because of "paper" walls (another myth—they're solid cardboard) and straight halls, it is also exaggerated. In fact, the acoustic properties of Willets will on occasion offer you the rare treat of a Mozart-Stones-Sinatra medley in quadrophonic sound, from above, below, next door, and across the hall. Also, the straight corridors and directly opposed doors facilitate the enjoyment of such activities as "hall soccer" and "stereo wars," which are difficult to arrange in the labyrinths of Dana and Hallowell. These games are definitely not to be missed during the college years, since they are markedly absent in the adult world. Outweighing any minor flaws of Willets are several distinct benefits. To a former MLer, proximity ranks high among them. Nothing beats rolling out of bed at 8:20 in the morning and, after a shower and a leisurely breakfast, making it to your 8:30 class on time. Also, the presence of McCabe, looming just up the hill, is always comforting to dedicated scholars. The biggest advantage of a Willets existence, though, is the extensive social interaction it affords you, or, sometimes, inflicts on you. In Willets, you are not deprived of the pleasure and enlightenment of interacting with both sexes. Filled mainly with freshmen eager to make friends, you're irresistably drawn into close contact with other people. Sometimes, for example, when you're poring over a philosophy text and just starting to get depressed, a troop of high-spirited hall-mates will invade your room and initiate a lively conversation on some fascinating topic, usually sex. Whenever you want to talk, there is always someone there. The opportunities for procrastination in Willets are limitless and many give into them wholeheartedly. For the freshmen and sophom*ores that primarily inhabit Willets, that evil is perhaps not so dangerous yet. But will I live in Willets next year? Is Tnis a fair test of my sincerity? A resounding "no!" is my reply to both questions. The Willets experience, as I see it, can perhaps be likened to a "rite of passage" or an Outward Bound adventure. With its intense social interaction and "close living", it is the perfect initiation into college life, and an agreeable lesson in living with many different kinds of people. After a year of it, though, when you feel a little more established in the college community, you usually want to move on to other dorms and ways of living—always cherishing, of course, the memory of those days in Willets. • ■ Ake Keene Close quarters characterizes Willets living. Lounging On A Sunny Afternoon With spring gelatedly bursting on the scene, the pale masses from McCabe are seeking studying positions which take advantage of the sunshine on Parrish Lawn. Here are some tips on making the most of solar academics. Until the nice white chairs of the Swarthmore plantation-elite emerge from the mothballs, groveling in the grass will have to do for almost all. There are a few nice roosting trees by which a measure of decency and up-right altitude may be maintained. The best ones are on the South side of McCabe walk. Those on the library side have too many roots for comfort. The Oaks lining the walk are not recommended for leaning, as the dense underbrush conceals all sorts of bugs and crawling critters, which tend to infiltrate the underwear. Also, even Swarthmore's tolerant student body begins to wonder about those who lose themselves in the underbrush. There are, of course, two prime sun-sitting locations; namely the pedestals on each side of the main entrance to Parrish. If you want to use these, please recruit someone of comparable height and build to occupy the other stone, so as not to upset the symmetry of the Parrish facade. For those venturing out onto the green expause alone, several positions are possible. The "Single-Elbows Prop" presents that cool, relaxed image, while still maintaining the ability to study or scope the surroundings. The "Double Elbow Prop" lets one get that maximum southern exposure, but can lead to painful Joint Fatigue and very proletarian Elbow-Staining. The casual "Two Palm Press" is a very popular position, but can only be maintained for short periods of time. It also leaves one vulnerable to an Arm-Whack Attack from the back, by which some practical joker can leave you in a humbled heap. Serious solo sitters can do the "Hunch". Slouching over some big text is a good way to discourage others from approaching. The "Full-Face Flop" can keep passers-by guessing if you are a) deceased; b) enjoying a good drug combination; c) getting close to Nature; or d) were dragged from some corner of McCabe without awakening. The possible combinations for group arrangements on the Lawn are virtually limitless, but tend to vary between two extremes. The first is the strict Linear Relation, in which individuals spread across the slope to maintain a solar orientation. The other extreme is the Pow- Wow model, when the group keen* a tightly closed circle.This arrangement is not recommended, however, as it appears somehow conspiratorial. People are always looking for the hashish pipe to start making the rounds. No matter what you do or how you do it, it can be done more pleasantly on Parrish Lawn. So don't be shy, lend your own individual flair to the sunworshipers this spring. ■ Boisterous Belle TKO'd By CAROLYN LESJAK Associate entertainment Editor Billed as a soaring celebration in song and dance, Your Arms Too Short To Box With God could more appropriately be coined a mix between a Sunday morning revival meeting, a Patti Laßelle concert (sans the orgiastic gyrations associated with the previous group, The Bluebells), and a circus show. Playing at the Shubert Theater in Philly, this Broadway musical (in the loose sense of the term) begins .vith infectious enthusiasm and energy but turns into a self-praising and saccharine vehicle for Laßelle. The play opens before a plain but effective backdrop of stained-glass windows and wooden-tiered steps as a priest and singers emerge in choir robes. A heightened expectancy looms in the theater as the audience awaits the entrance of the inimitable Patti Laßelle, alias Bubbles Laßue. The explosive tension is reminiscent of the big game as the crowd anxiously anticipates the bursting entrance of the home team. They look on with adoring and awe-struck eyes that should be reserved only for honest politicians and God Patti has only to walk out on stage proclaiming "We're Gonna Have a Good Time" (accompanied by thunderous applause) for one to feel the electricity of the crowd taking hold of one's senses. It is undeniable that Ms. Laßelle has a stunning gospel voice, so resonant and sonorous that she elicits cheers with the utterance of single notes and phrases. At one point near the end of the evening she actually draws a standing ovation in the middle of a song, like a mob of sport's fans rising as the ball carrier crosses the goal line. Following Laßelle's booming entrance the show can be divided into three major parts: the gospel singing of Patti and company, the story of Jesus, resplendant with hummable tunes warily echoing those of Jesus Christ Superstar, and the final act which consists entirely of the longest curtain call in theater history. The middle portion of the show, the story of Jesus, has the most potential for being meritous. As a black musical rendition of the Book of Matthew there were dramatic sequences that only barely missed becoming emotionally enveloping. However, these sporadic glimpses are not enough to carry the show. Unfortunately, the tragic ambiance created by the respites from the sensationalism of the rest of the show are shattered by the all-pervasive Laßelle and the applause accompanying her reappearance. The enthusiasm of the audience turned from being infectious to being distracting and mood destroying.The final act is a jubilant tribute to Laßelle. Replete with drawn-out solos and selfemulation, Laßelle turns the show into a real revival meeting. People raise their arms in adoration and Patti even graces the audience with her sweaty handkerchiefs. Laßelle and the company of Your Arms Too Short To Box With God do perform some spectacular feats which deserve merit. Laßelle's ringing voice and the supporting role of Mary are praiseworthy. Overall however there is simply tco much energy unloosed with too little direction culminating in a splendiferious effort. The c« st's arms were not only too short but too entangled to box with God.

Over There Compiled by Jan Sundfren Students Fight Hike Gunshots were exchanged and five students were arrested at the University of Puerto Rico last month as violence erupted during a protest concerning a tuition hike. This was yet another episode in an ongoing clash between students and the administration, which has included a five month strike by a large portion of the students. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, the University has been the scene of severe turmoil foe over half a year now, after the administration announced a tuition hike of 200 percent, the first increase in 32 years. All last fall and winter, students boycotted classes and organized demonstrations, protesting not only the tuition increase, but also the "totalitarian" way in which the administration "imposed" the increase and refused to compromise on it. The administration maintains that the increase was totally unavoidable, and also that the protest has been caused less by the increase than by "left-leaning" radicals for political purposes. Either way. the conflict has been very costly, forcing the cancellation of this year's summer session and resulting in damages of over a half million dollars. - Skiing in Kansas The campus of Wichita State University in Kansas is neither mountainous nor snowy, but if a student wants to take skiing lessons for Phys Ed. credit, the University will give them to him right on campus, reported the Chronical of Higher Education. The mountain that is usually considered necessary for down-hill skiing is quite simply the football stadium, and the slope is a 180-foot long ramp covered with heavy-duty, white plastic. Wearing all the real equipment, which can be rented for a small fee, students can get both beginner and intermediate instructions for credit, year-round. For each run, the students are- pulled to the top of the ramp by a rope tow just like lifts at normal ski areas. As the University Director of Athletics, Ted Bredehoff, proudly put it, "We have brought the mountain to Mahomet." Women Win EO Case Women athletes and coaches at Washington State University rejoiced this month after winning a law suit in which they charged the University with discriminating against women in its athletic program, reported the Chronicle of Higher Education. After an eight-week trial, a superior court judge ruled that there has been a definite bias against women's sports at Washington State and ordered the University to channel at least 32.5 percent of its state athletic funds to its women's program, since that figure reflects the proportion of athletes that are women. The judge also awarded the women "unspecified" damages, which the women's lawyers say could amount to several hundred thousand dollars. The women held that they were treated unfairly in various ways involving scholarships, facilities, equipment, and budget. Though many of their charges were rejected, the judge said that "the message came across loud and clear that women's sports were of lower priority." Guardian Angels Take On OSU According to the Chronicle of Higher Education. Ohio State University w.ll soon become the first college or university to be patrolled by the Guardian Angels, the civilian anti-crime force that has become nat.onally renowned for its crime fighting in the New York subways. Guardian Angels officials visited the university last month to begin organizing their operation, neglecting, though, to discuss it with the administration. They will recruit volunteers to patrol the ColumSus campus in unarmed, eight-man teams. Language Requirement Debated By DEBBIE SPIELBERG Phoenix Staff Writer Described by President Theodore Friend as primarily a "communication device," the Council on Educational Policy (CEP) considers issues of importance to all students at S wart hj more, including this year's major concern of foreign language study. The possibility of a foreign language admissions requirement as well as whether the first two years of a foreign language should count in distribution requirements are two issues that have been discussed by CEP. The question of how the study of foreign language can be enhanced and encouraged, perhaps through foreign language halls or houses, has also been raised. CEP meets once a week to discuss and review the possibilities and hopes to come up with a recommendation in the next few weeks. A recommendation from the committee, however, does not mean that the policy is implemented. As John Duvivier, a student member for four years, explained "The faculty is independent minded and are not going to rubber stamp any proposal." Even when CEP does submit a recommendation and the faculty does not necessarily accept it. President Friend who is a member of CEP considers it as the "key committee on educational policy." He thinks it is representative of a broad range of points of view with students and elected faculty. CEP consists of 11 members, three of whom are students. ». Since CEP is now discussing the possibility of a language requirement several members were asked their opinions on the topic Political Science professor Charles Beitz said that language study is "very important," but doesn't believe that any requirement for Swarthmore could have good results. "The only requirements that seem politically realistic for Swarthmore seem unlikely to require anyone to behave than they behave now," he commmented. He felt that the Stanford model (requiring three years of high school language and at least a 600 on the achievement tests), one of the possibilities being discussed, would be "pointless and wouldn't change anything" because 95 percent of Swarthmore students already fulfill those requirements. Beitz does believe that there should be "positive inducement" to encourage language studies. He said that studying overseas should become a "regularized process." At the present, except for the program at Grenoble, the amount of credit given for overseas study is unpredictable. John Duvivier Orr Reviews Housing at Council By CHARLES BARKER Phoenix Staff Writer Last Sunday's Student Council meeting focused on student-life projects and included a discussion of next year's housing situation with Dean of Housing Nancy Orr, visiting as part of SC President Franz Paasche's efforts to promote student-administration communication.Orr indicated that the major housing changes currently under consideration are in response to her office's recently completed Housing Survey, to which 365 students responded. Noting that only one percent of the replying men and four percent of the women favored single-sex living areas, she raised the possibility of making some singlesex living areas, such as Woolman, co-ed. A substantial increase in the number of people favoring quiet halls (45 percent in the survey) has led to consideration of designating more halls as quiet ones. In response to questions from SC member Pepe Dugal about keeping dormitories open over spring vacation next year, Orr noted that this option was under study and would probably be decided by an all-college vote to determine if students were willing to bear the subsequent increase in room-and-board fees. "If we want to attract people from outside of this area, we have to be careful not to just turn them out without anywhere to stay," said Orr, who also noted that rising transportation costs make returning home over vacation increasingly less feasible for many students. In other business. Bill Fredericks, chairman of the Constitutional Revision Committee noted that major problems in the SC constitution, had prevented a simple "line-by-line" revision- of the document. SC member Liz LaPorte also reported on Swarthmore involvement in a conference on and protest against government cuts in student loans to be hdd April 17. Though she described a co-ordinating meeting she attended as "discouraging" and "disorganized," LaPorte noted that current opposition to the Reagan administration's budget proposals in Congress suggests that a student appeal could be effective. "This is one of those macroissues Student Council has a responsibility to address," added Paasche. Council also officially recognized the Nuclear War Education Project and the Draft Counseling Project as student groups eligible for Budget Committee funding. 6 THE PHOENIX Aprti 2,1982 THINK SUMMER THINK SCIENCE THINK BRYN MAWR COLLEGE FOR INFORMATION, CALL OR WRITE: SPECIAL ACADEMIC PROGRAMS BRYN MAWR COLLEGE, BRYN MAWR, PA (215) 645-6197/8 sc Agenda April 4th 1.

Track Runs Over J.H. By MIRIAM GLASER Phoenix Staff Writer Last Saturday, the men's track team logged an easy victory over Johns Hopkins, with a final score of 82-56, giving the Garnet a 1-1 record so far. First, in the running events, it was 1-2-3 in the 120 yard hurdles with freshman Wayne Shields, and sophom*ores Marty Piomboan Jay Meenk placing first, second, and third respectively. Again in the 440 yard hurdles. Swat swept all three places with freshman Bruce Abernethy in first place, followed by junior co-captain Jack Cell man in second, and senior co-captain Larry Ehmer in third. In the distance events, Ethan Landis provided two particularly thrilling finishes. In the one mile run, Landis trailed five to ten yards behind his Hopkins opponent most of the race, but overcame the deficit to capture first. In the 880 yard run, freshman Dan Brandt captured an easy first place. Landis was closely trailing the same Hopkins man he had faced in the mile, and again blew by him in the end fo gain second place for Swat. Other impressive performances were notched by junior Steve Cangemi(third in the one mile run) and senior co-captain Mike Corbin(second in the 440 yd. run, and third in the 220 yd. run) as well as freshman Chris Jones and Ehmer with second and third(respectively), in the 3 mile run. In the field events, the Garnet, as usual, scored big.Throwing the shot, junior Norm Matthews placed first with a distance of 48'- 1", followed by freshman t)om Lepone and Mike Lieberman- insecond and third. The discus throw yielded similar results with Matthews first again, throwing 131 '-6*, trailed by Lieberman in second place and senior Joe More in third. In the jumping events three Garnet men captured 8 out of 9 places. Sophom*ore Steve DiMagno placed first in the high jump and second in the long jump; freshman Wayne Shields took first place in the long jump and triple, as well as tying for second place with freshman David Landes in the high jump. Landes also placed third in the long jump and triple jump. Golf Wins Third By WALTER RUNCK Phoenix Staff Writer The Swarthmorc golf team continued its winning ways this week, taking two of the three matches played. Last Thursday the squad travelled to Delaware and split its two matches, losing to the University of Delaware but coming back to win against George Washington University. The team was led by low-scoring juniors Dan Glessner and John Dufin and senior captain Matt Dupre. Also scoringforthe Garnet The team's "next match was on Tuesday at Rolling Green Country Club. The linksters pulled out a debut, carded two birdies on his way to a very respectable round, tight victory, taking a three-stroke decision over Widener University. Turning in low cards for the Garnet were again Dan Glessner, Dafin and Dupre. Also figuring in the victory were James and Gary Glessner, who shot a very respectable eighteen holes. "It is great to get off to such a good start," commented the hotshooting Dafin. "We just hope to be up there when the final MAC standings come out." The successful week leaves the team with a 2-0 record in the MAC, and the players are already looking forward to the upcoming MAC tournament in April. Senior captain Phil Joson who received one of the game balls Wednesday in contest in which Men's Lacrosse team won 13-5 over Lebanon Valley.

The Lady Garnet had registered their first victory of the year last Saturday at home, topping the Greyhounds of Moravian 9-8. That game, staged in subfreezing temperatures, was poorly played by both teams. Swarthmore had an early 7-1 lead which it saw dissipate; a rally in the bottom of the last inning was needed for the win. The Garnet scored seven runs in the first inning on two base hits and seven walks. For the day, the teams collected a total of 31 bases on balls. After the first. Finally the home squad put it all together to win the game. Sophom*ore Tia Swanson (now I- I) pitched two innings of scoreless relief. She also helped herself at the plate by walking with the bases loaded in the seventh to force in the game-winning run. Junior first-baseman Lori Lumpkin turned in an excellent unassisted double play which helped Swarthmore out of a "bases loaded" jam in the seventh. Junior designated-hitter Sue Kost collected 3 R.8.1.'s for the day. Swarthmore did not score again until Moravian had taken an 8-7 lead in the sixth when the Garnet committed five errors, permitted 10 walks and watched Moravian runners steal 13 bases.

Garnet Softballers Defeat Moravian, Harcum Junior By SHE LEVIN Phoenix Staff Writer Raise Record to 2-1 With 9-8, 7-5 Victories Before having Wednesday's game versus Northeast Christian postponed because of rain, the women's soitftan team ran its record to 2-1 with close wins over Moravian and Harcum Jr. College. In an exciting 7-5 victory at Harcum on Monday. the Garnet scored 2 in the top of the eigth to win it after Harcum tied the game with 3 in the bottom of the seventh. Swarthmore opened up a tworun lead with runs in each of the first two innings, but Harcum tied it with two unearned runs in the bottom of the third. The game was knotted at 2 until senior Gretchen Edwalds rapped a pinch-hit single to left in the sixth. Swarthmore scored twice more to lead by three going into the bottom of the last inning. Harcum turned two singles, a double, a triple and a Swat error into three runs Sophom*ore shortstop Mary Let Rivera's game-saving throw to the plate caught Harcum shortstop Mary Schrack at the plate for the third out of the inning. In the top of the eighth, sophom*ore leftfielder Nancy Davis walked and advanced to second on freshman Lvnne Turner's sacrifice bum Freshman catcher Sue Levin walked and stole second, to bring up senior center-fielder and captain Krista Taylor with runners on second and third. Taylor lined a single that scored both runners, and the Lady Garnet held on to win the game. Sophom*ore Tia Swanson took the win for Swat. Swanson pitched Krista Taylor at bat in recent Swarthmore Softball action IW Sahagian Women's Lacrosse Tops Glassboro; Drops Decision to #1 Trenton State By MARK HASHIM Phoenix Stall Writer Swarthmore's women's lacrosse team won its second game of the season by defeating Glassboro 6-4 on the road despite bad weather conditions last Friday The game was an even battle until sophom*ore Donna Marchesani broke the ice and scored the first goal. Glassboro tied it back up, but sophom*ore Gwyneth Jones scored before the first half ended. The Garnet came out tough in the second half and scored three more goals to go ahead 5-1. Glassboro fought back but was not able to overcome Swarthmore'sSwarthmore's lead. Marchesani had four goals and one assist on the day and Jones tallied two goals and one assist. Sophom*ore goal keeper Lori Hoppman displayed fine talent as she tallied 15 saves. "Glassboro played tough, but they were unable to break through our /one defense." commented sophom*ore Jenny Herrington. The match was highlighted by fine defensive plays and good teamwork. The offense stayed strong and played aggressive ball, using plenty of passing tactics. It was the second year in a row that the team was able to defeat (ilassboro. a squad that has given \ft£ Garnet a lot of trouble in the past. The first defeat of the season came at the hands of Trenton State (ranked first in the nation in Division III), who romped over the Garnet 11-4 on Tuesday. For the first half, the team was on the defensive but hung close. Trenton State scored midway through the half, which ended with the visitors leading 6-0. Trenton came out strong in the second half and scored in the first two minutes, but the Garnet fought back. One minute later, Gwyneth Jones put the ball in the net. Then seniors Amy Braverman and Monica Haley scored, followed once again by Gwxnctli Jones, who scored Swat's fourth and final goal. Trenton State came back, though, putting the game out of reach with four more goals. Despite the fact that she didn't score, sophom*ore Nan Weinstock played a good offensive game. The team as a whole played much better in the second half, but Trenton State proved too strong an opponent. The Lady LaXers play at Kutztown today at 4:00. Baseball Falls Twice By JIM CLANCY Phoenix Stall Winer I f no news is good news, then the best that one can say about Swarthmore College baseball for the past week is that Wednesday's clash with Delaware Valley was postponed due to lack of good weather. Saturday's twin bill with defending league champ Johns Hopkins was nothing short of frustrating. The playing conditions were sub-par and sub-freezing; in short, it was not hitting weather. To add insult to injury the Garnet dropped both ends of the doubleheader by scores of 5-1 and 9-3. Game one represented the classic death-by-a-bad-inning syndrome. To erase the top of the third inning (with Hopkins at the plate) would leave the Garnet with a 1-1 tie. However, our gallant lads were not so fortunate The Hopkins half of the third was your basic three hit. two error, one stolen base, four run inning. The main consolation was that it did end and not all nine Blue Jay batters made it to the plate. On the bright side, senior Rich "Hit 'em Where They Ain't" Fields, apparently on the advice of last week's column, hit 'em where they weren't on two of three occasions, one being a two-base hit. In his other at-bat Fields displayed heads-up ball by relying on a catcher's interference to raise his on-base percentage. Also helping their batting averages were sophom*ores Jim "Coyote" Willey (who doubled) and Ken "Koz" Kozlowski, and freshmen Chris "Crolan" Nolan and Pete 'The Snake" Coveleski. who all singled three tups to the plate. Ciame two brought colder weather, two more hits and three more runs for the Garnet nine. Unfortunately Hopkins parlayed eight hits into nine big runs as the Swat moundsmen took it on the chin. The man responsible for most of the abuse (three hits, three runs) inflicted on the Garnet was a chap who went by the name of Lipsh*t/. A big first frame for the home team saw Art "The Rat" Walsh single and score. Fields single and score, and Willey produce a safetv (that's a sportswriter's term for .1 single). The gig went downhill from there as the Garnet picked up one in the second and nothing but zeros for the remaining frames. Mind you. the bats did produce. Fields culminated a four-for-seven day with another single while freshmen Charlie "Tainted Love" Green, Coveleski, Mark "Hambone" Handwerger. and sophom*ore John "PR" Perry also came through with base hits. On the agenda for our boys in red will be a twin bill at Ursinuson Saturday. Wednesday will see the squad at Allentown while next Saturday they are at Textile. The Garnet returns home for an encounter with Franklin and Marshall on Monday, Apr. 12. Freshman pitcher Sean "Cro" Crowley assured me personally that our pride and joy, the Garnet men, are mentally, physically and spiritually prepared to meet the challenges that await them in the coming weeks. Let us hope they can. Florida Run in the Sun By KEVIN HEARLE and MARY ANN EARLY Phoenix Staff Writers Brring! (phone) "Thez iz de coach. It's seex-oh-three. We are leaving in ten minutes." So began a typical day of the track team's springtrainingsession in Florida. Each morning 56 legs stepped into sweats and sleepily walked to the vans which were waiting to take them to welcome the sun at the University of Florida's track. Scenic Gainesville, the disco and video game capital of the world, was as exhausted as we were at the trip's end. The memory of pain and sweat may fade away, but none of us can forget: —starvation diets—kept alive on meager rations of food. Our stomachs were prisoners of little orange meal cards—6B<, 55c "Anyone got a nickel? 11l switch you an apple for a danish." Sincere apologies to SAGA for past complaints. Thanks dedicated to steak and shake. —Van rides—twice 20 hours. Sprawled around each other does wonders for new friendships. It's hard to remain a stranger with someone when you're on intimate terms with their foot. Periodic setbacks from Swarthmore's legionaires disease. —Did you know alligators cat vestal virgins? —hot tubs, massages, . bed hopping, Winnie's disco. —Jack Gelman's shower technique. —Benedict's spring fever. —Vinnie, our trainer and 3 bodies in a volkswagon. "ICE IT." Mke Keene Florida memorabilia from the track 'B2 fiasco Tennis Tops U. of Penn By GERRY VAN ARKEL Phoenix Staff Writer On Monday, the Men's Tennis Team decisively defeated the University of Pennsylvania, 7-2, extending their win streak over the Quakers to three. Although there is no official Philadelphia Area Collegiate championship, the winner of the Swarthmore-Penn match can claim the unofficial title. Swarthmore took no time in deciding the final outcome as the netmen won five of the six singles matches. Sophom*ore Steve Brown avenged a loss earlier this season to Penn's number one with a convincing 6-3, 6-2 victory. At number two singles, senior Bob Sheehy continued his quest to return to top form by handily defeating Steve Shaeffer 6-2, 6-4. The depth of the Swarthmore line-up, one of the team's strong points, was once again showed as both number four junior Gerry Van Arkel and number six freshman Eric Prothero made short shrift of their Penn opponents. This season, Prothero's only loss came in a close three-set struggle against Penn State, and Van Arkel has yet to lose a singles matcb. I n the most exciting match of the day. sophom*ore Mike Tolley defeated Penn's number five in a third set tiebreaker. Tolley remained smooth and level-headed as he won the tiebreaker,7-5. Although the match was clinched, the Garnet doubles teams of Brown/junior Dave Bronkema, Van Arkel/Sheehy, and Prothero freshman Rick Vandenbergh sustained their level of intensity. Only one doubles ( match was completed, however, as Steve Brown in action Phoenix sports April 2,1982 continued on page 7 continued on page 7 continued on page 7 8
