Ki of September 1982, <strong>Lowell</strong><br />

Measures have been started<br />

this semester which will lead<br />

to the elimination of South<br />

<strong>The</strong> first step was cutting In<br />

were sorae 12 t Unroomx In use<br />

by <strong>Lowell</strong> students aog Oculty,<br />

As you flip through this first issue of "<strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Lowell</strong>" for the 1982-83 school year, you'll<br />

filvd chat several changes and revisions have<br />

licctt made throughout.<br />

Our staff editors discussed these changes at<br />

litngth, and we feel thtt they were made in the<br />

best interests of our paper with great consideration<br />

to you, our readers.<br />

First of all, after much ttrught we decided<br />

to revise tha format of the Profiles section<br />

found in the centerfold.<br />

Since its inception in 1980, Profiles had<br />

: -evolved from a people section.into a feature<br />

; section focussing each jxmth on a specific<br />

; -'' topic from hans gliding to teenage sex. '<br />

,.,- We~decided to rnturn to the original corcept<br />

of Profiles. This month the section is devoted<br />

" •'• f". to the school's returning teachers.<br />

. We have decided to condense three sections.<br />

We hope that you like these new headings as<br />

ouch as we do. One high school In the city<br />

liked cur old headings so much that they<br />

actually "lifted" then for use in their own<br />

paper. Several "borrowed" headlines, and a<br />

"borrowed" photo plus Its enption alno turned<br />

up in their paper last year. Initially, ther.e<br />

'Punchline' atmosphere appeals<br />

By Randy KMS<br />

Do you tver wonder bow<br />

famous comedians start out?<br />

Where do you think Robin Willlams<br />

suited his career in show<br />

business' 1<br />

<strong>The</strong> answer is the Punchline,<br />

the "rush hour and comedy<br />

nightclub," located at +44<br />

Battery Street In downtown San<br />

Francisco.<br />

On Friday, September C4,<br />

yours truly decided to check<br />

out this comedy sanctuary.<br />

Walking In, I was faced with<br />

two choices: be a wallflower<br />

or be aggressive,<br />

I opted for the latter, so instead<br />

of sitting fn the back unnoticed,<br />

I decided to sit up<br />

front, making myself more<br />

vulnerable to the comecUan.<br />

<strong>The</strong> atmosphtre of the place<br />

was at once warm, frtcMly,<br />

and exciting. <strong>The</strong>re W*TC<br />

Images of San Francisco 00 the<br />

surrounding vails, and people<br />

were holding good-natured<br />

convetsatlotu while soft rock<br />

music played In the background.<br />

At about 8:30 p. m,, the<br />

M.C.. Robert WuM. who proved<br />

to be even funnier tban the two<br />

featured, comedians, started the<br />

show with a few Jokes and asked<br />

the audience not to be oiTended<br />

by racial Jokes or being made<br />

fun of. "We are all here to<br />

have fun," he offered.<br />

He Introduced the first comedian,<br />

Mary Lee Davis, who<br />

was very entertaining, making<br />

fun of everyone she could. Her<br />

45-mlnute stint was followed<br />

by more jokes by WuhU<br />

Jim dvatds w« *he second<br />

featured performo who succeeded<br />

in keeping the audience<br />

laughing at his humor. His<br />

presentation also.lasted 45 minutes.<br />

Wuhl closed the show,<br />

asking everyone to tip gencr-<br />

•ously.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Punchline is the pla.. c<br />

to go to enjoy contemporary<br />

comedy and new talent to<br />

deliver it. <strong>The</strong> club sppcaa<br />

to house about 200 people, and<br />

there Is standing room Also.<br />

Several tlrncf a year rite<br />

club holds amai:ar nights when<br />

young comedians appear to<br />

make their debuts and make<br />

Library expansion set<br />

By Kellie Gau<br />

Construction plans are underway<br />

for the expansion of the<br />

Social Studies Resource Center-<br />

Meyer Library complex by<br />

adding some 2,000 squars feet<br />

to provide much needed study<br />

area, according to Dr. Alan<br />

FIbUh, principal.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> present resource centerlibrary<br />

area Is too small to<br />

accommodate the Urge number<br />

of students who wim to<br />

do study and research,- FlbUh<br />

noted.<br />

Additional riooc space in<br />

the resource center-library<br />

area would rake some of the<br />

pressure off the other smaller<br />

resource centers «LJ would<br />

help solve some of the congestion<br />

In the tuiU.<br />

On a recent visit to <strong>Lowell</strong>.<br />

Dr. Robert Allow, superintend-<br />

ent of schools, observed the<br />

overcrowding ind Inadequacy<br />

of the library facilities at<br />

LnvclU<br />

Me Indicated that he would<br />

support the enlargement of<br />

the present facilities. <strong>The</strong><br />

projected cost is a quarter of<br />

a million dollars.<br />

Recently, a panel consisting<br />

of a student, a parent, head<br />

librarian Robert CantpbeU,<br />

and Dr. Fibbh interviewed<br />

prospective architects for thft<br />

r project. <strong>The</strong> panel will make<br />

a recommendation to Dr.<br />

AUoto who will nut* the final<br />

decision.<br />

Preliminary steps leading to<br />

construction began last spring<br />

whea the San Francisco Board<br />

of Education approved archtrectural<br />

pUiu fur die additive*<br />

Modifications were made so<br />

plant would conform to State<br />

Department of Education regulations.<br />

Under proposed plans, the<br />

north Kail of the library, extending<br />

from tho main entrance<br />

to the Book-to-book Center,<br />

would be removed and extended<br />

out into the front courtyard area,<br />

picking up the additional 2,000<br />

square feet.<br />

It Is anticipated that the<br />

construction will have Unlo<br />

effect on normal school operations.<br />

It Is possible that the<br />

Job can be completed before<br />

the end of the school year<br />

In June 1983.<br />

Optimistically, Dr. Flbtsh<br />

predicted, "<strong>The</strong> present Junior<br />

Class will be able to use the*<br />

expanded facility before its<br />

members graduate. "<br />

Prop. 15:<br />

shooting from the hip?<br />

By Kris Clothlu<br />

<strong>The</strong> alarming ilia In handgun-<br />

££< related crlma has caused gun<br />

'"_ control to become a mi Jot Issue<br />

oo the social and political<br />

scenes.<br />

In today*! locrfjslngly violent<br />

society, the number of<br />

-handgun being purchased has<br />

' steadily Increased. This'uatiuoal<br />

private arsenal h« reached ihj<br />

. SS minion figure ant! b expected<br />

m pass 100 million by the year<br />

' 2000. .<br />

<strong>The</strong> Increase In the sale and<br />

use of handguns has resulted In<br />

the formation of various groups<br />

dedicated to better Inform the<br />

public abcut handgun use and<br />

control*<br />

One such organisation, me<br />

Foundation oo violence In -<br />

America, was created as a<br />

result of the aisusUutlon of<br />

eT:-Beatle and peace advocate<br />

John Lcnnoc<br />

"Wo founded this Institution<br />

to try and convert soma of that<br />

(zagts experience Into something<br />

positive so that his death<br />

would stand for something,"<br />

stated lanu S. Wenner, a clnse<br />

friend of Lennon,<br />

Even though an expected three<br />

or four million gun are expected<br />

to be sold this year, three out<br />

- of four Americans favor some<br />

tort of handgun control.<br />

Current laws allow Individuals<br />

IB yean or older to purchase a<br />

handgun as long as he/she Is<br />

not a i Evicted criminal, mentally<br />

disturbed, or a drug atMlci.<br />

Some, like Wenner, feel<br />

that the national gun lobby is<br />

responsible for spreading con-<br />

fusion among the public about<br />

Run control,<br />

Cun lobbyists comerd that<br />

people must be able to protect<br />

themselves and oppose any kind<br />

of gun conticl laws.<br />

Th; pro Jnd con gun control<br />

advocates have been active<br />

'lils past yenr. <strong>The</strong> town of<br />

V'crmesaw, Georgia, became<br />

the first to adopt legislation<br />

requiring every citizen to have<br />

a fireum for protection.<br />

Pilot programs In five American<br />

cities will have p.'-Uce<br />

working to educate the p»Mic<br />

"Handguns breed fear,<br />

fear breeds handguns."<br />

that handguns co not necessarily<br />

afford protection*<br />

San Francisco became the<br />

first major city to ban most<br />

private ownwershlp of handguns.<br />

A contovralal huidgun control<br />

measure Is oo the November<br />

2 California ballot.<br />

Proposition IS would require<br />

registration of all handguns in<br />

California by November 2,<br />

1983, and provides mandatory<br />

Jail sentences for Individuals<br />

caught carrying concealed<br />

hanugum.<br />

XUIUons cf dollars are being<br />

'spent by supporters and opponent!<br />

of rhe measure.<br />

Statistic! iaiy that one :•*<br />

every four American voters owns<br />

a handgun and half of them<br />

are loaded.<br />

<strong>The</strong> dilemma is summed up<br />

by the phrase. 'Handguns breed<br />

fear, and fear breeds handguns.*<br />

Whe^Amerlcans vote, do they<br />

know what they are voting for<br />

when they choose one candidate<br />

over another?<br />

Since the ran of m- century,<br />

the man media In their .arlous<br />

forms have made it possible,<br />

for example, for people In such<br />

place, as Great Falls, Montana.<br />

to receive the latest news about<br />

world conditions. Only the<br />

most obscure areas of ihU pUnet<br />

are cut off from world news.<br />

: ithat In America the news media<br />

- are being used and abused as<br />

Proposition 4: <strong>The</strong>UkcTa-<br />

Summary -<br />

<strong>The</strong> proposition known as<br />

the UVe Tahoe Acquisitions<br />

Bond Act would authorise the<br />

state of California to "Issue<br />

and sell $85 million In state<br />

.1 obligation bonds."<br />

Tbe proceeds from this sale<br />

would be used to purchaie land<br />

in the Lake Tahoe Bailn area<br />

and to protect It frum father<br />

decline. Furthermore, !t<br />

would preserve itte scenic and<br />

recteational areas of Lake<br />

Tjhoe and protect thw fict is to prevent the<br />

xiiV of .in accidental war.<br />

<strong>The</strong> second Is to prevent rfcc<br />

economy.<br />

Coo-<br />

Thote who oppoao the<br />

itatute believe that It would<br />

not reduce the risk of a nuclcat<br />

come major battlegrounds fcf<br />

the warring factions. <strong>The</strong><br />

average prime-time viewer<br />

Is subjected to at least one<br />

political commercial every<br />

half hour. TVi 1982 elections.<br />

It seems, could be decided by<br />

which party c»n afford the moc<br />

alr-tlroo.<br />

Activist groups, too, are<br />

aoverUstng their oplalons<br />

Proposition M: RcippcrUonment<br />

by Districting Commission<br />

or Supremo Court: Initiative<br />

Constitutional Amendment<br />

Stimmary-<br />

PropositioD 14 would amend<br />

the state constitution by tuntferring<br />

the rerporalbf lity cf<br />

rcapportlonment from the<br />

sure legislature to a newly<br />

established commission. This<br />

commission would reapportlon<br />

the Assembly, Sate Senate,<br />

Congressional, and Board of<br />

Equalization districts. It<br />

would consist of members appointed<br />

by California Justices<br />

and political parties.<br />

Pro-<br />

Supporters of this amendment.<br />

Including former President<br />

Gerald Ford, believe tha<br />

mat allowing legislators to<br />

draw tt--(r own district lines<br />

lead* to corrupt political<br />

"genyinandsrfag." •Gerrymandering'*<br />

is the p*rty policy<br />

of drawf ng the rcapportionment<br />

l«iies strictly on the<br />

bails of politic *1 gain. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

feel that th« tommtttion Ir<br />

the only way no Inpire fait<br />

representation.<br />

Con-<br />

Thsse opposed to this proposition<br />

feel that only elected<br />

represenutives of the people<br />

should determine legislative<br />

dirricts. <strong>The</strong>) tMnk that<br />

the Commission would take<br />

In retaliation. Planned<br />

"<strong>The</strong> decision to have a baby<br />

could soon be between you,<br />

- the winning ptopojltlooi,<br />

dominance of the Republicans<br />

Draft registration enforced<br />

After the Vie: Nam war,<br />

the draft was discontinued because<br />

the need for a large<br />

In MT9, President Ca.tcr<br />

reinstated teglstratioti for a<br />

poulble draft because of the<br />

tense world situation and *<br />

need to bolster America's<br />

the Sang Task Force, "especially<br />

McKenna pointed out that<br />

the Police Department a bo<br />

had Information about "some<br />

clashing with American-born<br />

Chinese. <strong>The</strong>re wasn't a grc=:<br />

enough to create some concern."<br />

"Consequently, several police<br />

officers began learning<br />

about some of the cultures,<br />

the history, and me background<br />

of the Immigrants to<br />

account for what was happening,-<br />

said McKetma. "But<br />

k really didn't amount to<br />

anything until the Golden<br />

"L Police ad*nlnUtr»tton iV> •<br />

cacse and factors wh.cn led to<br />

the shootings ... and to handle<br />

all activities of crime and<br />

Intelligence gathering about<br />

criminals In the Asian community,<br />

according to KIcKe.JU.<br />

Although the Gang Task Fotce<br />

does deal with other ethnic<br />

communities In the city. Its<br />

primary expertise lies within<br />

Chinatown where the effects<br />

of the fotce have been felt,<br />

"for a period of time, we<br />

suffrrH over SO gang-related<br />

homicides," said McKenna.<br />

"We are now happy to say<br />

(bat wltb the masses of murders<br />

ve had prior to the fornation<br />

of the Gang Task Force, we<br />

have only had five since 1977,<br />

foar of which have been solved,"<br />

he Indicated.<br />

McKenna conceded that at<br />

first the Task Force did not<br />

have a great deal of success<br />

because victims were fearful<br />

of entering Isto tbe Judicial<br />

•yttem, but each subsequent<br />

year succeu began to Increase,<br />

Constant contact wltn the<br />

community baa helped In<br />

solving crimes. McKenna<br />

cited tbe roost recent murder<br />

conviction of a gang member<br />

who had fled to Miami after<br />

fatally subbing a police lieutenant<br />

and a member of the<br />

Wah Chlng gang outside a<br />

An important function of the<br />

"We tu>ve had some success,<br />

"<strong>The</strong> force Is familiar with<br />

Gang familiarity on the part<br />

Holiday spirit fading<br />

"Buy this product, it's the boot! What<br />

gourmet cook could te without this handydandy<br />

gadget! Remember, Christmas will be<br />

here soonI"<br />

Because af the constant pressure and bombardment<br />

of advertising, the American public<br />

Is losing sight of the true holiday spirit.<br />

Advertisers hcvc begun hcliday cdvcrtlbing<br />

earlier and earlier each year. A3 a result,<br />

American Ideals arc turning more materialistic.<br />

Joseph Magnln's downtown store installed<br />

their Christmas windows in mid-October. <strong>The</strong><br />

windows exclaimed, "Only 70 more days 'til<br />

Christmas!"<br />

By convincing the public that they cannot<br />

do without a certain product or service,<br />

advertisers Induce people into buying things<br />

they do not want or cannot afford.<br />

Advertising aimed at children trains<br />

youngsters to be a society of consumers, convincing<br />

them that they need everything they<br />

sec.<br />

People also tend to compare friendships on<br />

how much money one spent on a gift: "He<br />

bought DC an expensive sift, therefore I like<br />

him better than soaeone else."<br />

During previous years, people seemed to<br />

have had a better idea of the true spirit of<br />

the holidays.<br />

In the Depression, for instance, people<br />

did not have the means to buy expensive gifts,<br />

KO they put more thought into a special gift<br />

that could he n.idc Instead oJ bought.<br />

This consideration showed a Uindrtd spirit,<br />

and brought people closer together.<br />

<strong>The</strong> precarious economic situation In the<br />

world today should cause uo to reflect on our<br />

ideals and priorities. <strong>The</strong> lovn and cotcpanlontihip<br />

felt in earlier holiday seasons can<br />

only be recaptured through understanding.<br />

With world affairs in such a chaotic state,<br />

and nuclear weapons au constant threats, the<br />

hutcan race needs to take a step coward increasing<br />

brotherhood. <strong>The</strong> holidays seem like<br />

a perfect time to do it.<br />

Grading process<br />

needs overhaul<br />

On the whole, <strong>Lowell</strong> has i \Jty lino faculty.<br />

However, there are moiC than an "isol&ted few"<br />

in this group who demonstrate a very disturbing<br />

trait: basing their grades purely on numbers.<br />

Un r ortunately, all too many teachers lose sight<br />

of tltc supposed reason we enroll in their<br />

classes—to loarn, not to memorize.<br />

Example: giving multiple choice tests on<br />

Scantrons. Teachers' aides know the hour?<br />

this procedure sivcn, but students, if not<br />

angered, should be, rhat: (1) someone uho did<br />

not study could take a few lucky guesses, and<br />

(2) true students arc given no opportunity<br />

to show newly acquired knowledge by means ot<br />

essay questions, etc. In addition, many true<br />

or false questions arc worded in such a way<br />

that they become brain teasers rather than<br />

true indicators. How about effort? Oral participation?<br />

1982 yearbook<br />

D«at Ed IU,:<br />

On Thursday, November 4,<br />

the 1082 edition of "<strong>The</strong> Red<br />

end White" wat released. This<br />

ed.'Jcu, &c most expensive<br />

yearbook (a <strong>Lowell</strong>'s hktory,<br />

-.' was reeelvej with much crlt-<br />

- . icxsa'.Td disappointment.<br />

y dents 4Dd graduates<br />

wondered why the cover was<br />

beige, "by many or the ;ic-<br />

;. tutet woe fuxxy, why there<br />

were few color pages, and why<br />

sr.ne of tbe grad pictures were<br />

left out or misnamed*<br />

Tbe overall feelipg win<br />

"This boo 1 ' U ucc worth *25."<br />

I, a member or the 1963<br />

yearbook staff, am writing<br />

Oils letter, not to apologize<br />

for tbe outcome of thr book,<br />

but tu point out the conditions<br />

under which the entire tuff<br />

hud to work, I am also disappointed<br />

with tbe outcome,<br />

but under the conditions, the<br />

staff did Its best.<br />

First of all, the 1932 yearbook<br />

staff started off with a<br />

deficit of several thousand<br />

dollars from the 1981 book.<br />

As a result, we were prevented<br />

from putting In more color<br />

pages.<br />

Also, In ordet to make up<br />

for this deficit .tnd to offset<br />

price Incieates from J wen<br />

(the printer), we bad to charge<br />

mote for the 1983 edition.<br />

In the fall of 19S1. aU but.<br />

two enlargen In tho darkroom<br />

were wocklng as a result of the<br />

carelessness of the photography<br />

classes. <strong>The</strong>re was no money<br />

to replace them, and we could<br />

only produce fuzzy pictures at<br />

he*.<br />

.Seccdly. daring tbe spring<br />

senxstcr. our longtime sponsor<br />

and friend, June Shafcr, passed<br />

away. Her death was a tre-<br />

mendous blow to the staff. In *<br />

past jears Ms. Shafer supervised<br />

the overall production<br />

of tbe book, contributing he;<br />

Ideas and opinions. However,<br />

this Is not to say that Mr.<br />

Kohtz was a bad sponsor; on<br />

the contrary, he look time off<br />

his supervision of the school<br />

newspaper and offered his<br />

assistance to us.<br />

Finally, there were many<br />

factors which wa.beyond tbe<br />

control of the tuff. For example,<br />

provide us with tbe grad plct'ues<br />

until a day before the f.ral d«dline<br />

In Augnrt. <strong>The</strong> Returns ••<br />

plete, explaining why some wer i<br />

missing. Furthermore, Jotten<br />

did a poor job of printing, evidenced<br />

by blotches on numerous<br />

page*.<br />

la conclusion. If you are a<br />

dlsutUfled owner of a I9&2<br />

yeatbouk, 1 am sorry that you<br />

bought It. You should realize<br />

that the yearbook was an 11tnonih<br />

production, from September<br />

1991 to August 19ES.<br />

Many naif meraben had to<br />

ucrlflce part of their summer<br />

Jobs so they could'finish no<br />

book. In no way am I maHng<br />

excuses or apologies foe the<br />

outcome of this book, but every<br />

student should understand the<br />

difficult conditions with which<br />

the stiff had to work.<br />

From bb first hit In 1075<br />

"Truly" and "Serves<br />

You Right," Lionel Richie<br />

has mete ihan proven his<br />

musical gailus.<br />

His debut album on the<br />

Motown label, entitled "Lionet<br />

Richie." sets him apart from<br />

many budding soloists because<br />

he has not abandoned his original<br />

group to embark on a<br />

glorious, new career*<br />

Still devoted to the Commodores,<br />

but anxious to showcase<br />

his talents a bit mote, Richie<br />

hit written, performed, ant!<br />

produced an album exciting<br />

In Its moods and superior In<br />

Its musical scope.<br />

<strong>The</strong> album opens with the<br />

with a subtle rock ballad<br />

called "Wandering Stranger,"<br />

strur.xnution, but pivotal in its<br />

me&ttge. According to Richie,<br />

the lyrics, "I must keep moving<br />

tilt I find me," arc very much<br />

from the heart.<br />

Next up U "Tell Me," an<br />

energetic song ihat it definitely<br />

"Tell Ate" sounds a lot liko<br />

something Kenny Rogers would<br />

sing If he had soul - no coincidence,<br />

since It uas Richie who<br />

wane such songs as the number<br />

we "Lad)" for Rogers several<br />

years ago.<br />

Hounding out side one Is a<br />

slow tune called "Sly Love,"<br />

whiih has * definite countrywestwn<br />

"Round and Round," an espec-<br />
