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 />

field.<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 />

political commercial every<br />

commission would reapportlon<br />

Equalization districts. It<br />
would consist of members appointed<br />
by California Justices<br />

Draft registration enforced<br />

As so-dents approach the age<br />
of draft registration. Selective<br />

; Important Issue than when<br />
they were younger.<br />
After the Vie: Nam war,<br />
the draft was discontinued because<br />
the need for a large<br />

strong political opposition to<br />
It.<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 />
security..<br />
In 1S80, when Ronald Reagan<br />

Inspector John McKenot. o'<br />
the Sang Task Force, "especially<br />
those farmed with the<br />

In the early 70's."<br />
McKenna pointed out that<br />
the Police Department a bo<br />
had Information about "some<br />
of the ldds from Hong Kong ...<br />
clashing with American-born<br />
Chinese. <strong>The</strong>re wasn't a grc=:<br />
deal of this going on, but<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 />

Following the Golden Dragon<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 />

with his Nashville club.<br />
He went three for three.<br />

THE LOWELL<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 />
Cansleo Studio* did not<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 />
with the Commodores, "Sweet<br />
Love," to his latest solo rcleatcs,<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 />
fjtt-paccd "Scrv«M You Right"<br />
In clanic RAB style and continue!<br />
with a subtle rock ballad<br />
called "Wandering Stranger,"<br />
wjlch is a hit bUnd In Its In*<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 />
top-of-t he-charts nutcrtaU<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 />
twang to It.<br />
Thu flip side opens with<br />
"Round and Round," an espec-<br />
Ully c.ucliy song that sounds<br />
like ar>I Earth, Wind, and Fire<br />

serves w.:M at a prelude to the<br />

sounds suspiciously akin to the<br />
