Gallen to
retire
By MELANIE FIORDALISI
Staff Reporter
After over 30 years of service
to the University, the Rev, Lawrence
C. Gallen, O.S.A., vice
president of Academic Affairs, has
announced his retirement. A 1952
graduate of the University, Gallen
earned his degree in bio-chemistry
and later joined the science department
for 16 years as an associate
professor of biology.
Gallen then acted as the director
of summer sessions at the Univer-
sity for approximately four years.
Before assuming his current posi-
tion of 14 years as vice president
of Academic Affairs, Gallen functioned
as the dean of Arts and
Sciences for about one year.

person is needed for
this position.

vice president of
Academic Affairs
"I enjoy my job and I love
Villanova. I'm very sad to leave,
but I'll be 65 soon and the time
has come to move on. I feel that
a younger person is needed for this
position," Gallen said.
"My most memorable experience
at Villanova was during the
late 60s, early 70s of the Vietnam
War era," said Gallen. "Our
student body was very much
involved in national politics. I
remember having to quell strikes
and sit-ins. It was an exciting
time, he added.

Press Release
Ten squares of The Names
Project Quilt will be exhibited
during the University's second
annual AIDS Awareness Week,
Feb. 13-19. The quilt was started
in June 1987 when San Franciscan
Cleve Jones gathered a small
group of friends and neighbors to
create something that would
make the public understand what
he and his friends were experiencing.
Today, the AIDS Memorial
Quilt is comprised of more than
24,200 individual fabric panels,
each measuring three by six feet.
The quilt will be on display in
the Villanova Room of Connelly
Center on campus on Feb. 16 from
11 a.m. to 9 p.m.; on Feb. 17 from
9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and on Feb. 18
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. During the
quilt display hours in the Villanova
Room, 20-minute performances
of literature will recognize the
people who suffer with AIDS and
all those who love them. "Remembrance
and Renewal" is directed
by Heidi Rose, of the Univer-
sity's Communications Arts department,
and will be performed
by eight students. Performances
will be held on Feb. 16 at noon
and 5 p.m.; on Feb. 17 at noon and
3 p.m.; and on Feb. 18 at 9 a.m.
and noon in the Villanova Room,
Connelly Center. A dedication of
panels made by the University
community for the AIDS Memorial
Quilt will be held on Feb. 15
at 4:30 p.m. in St. Thomas of
Villanova Church.

Discipline, campus damages and fines discussed
By STEVE McILVAINE
Assistant News Editor
Discipline on campus is an issue
that needs and deserves constant
attention. The Rev. John P. Stack,
O.S.A., dean of Students, and
Steve Pugliese, judicial affairs
officer, shoulder most of the
responsibility of disciplining
students.
As compared to last year, the
crime rate is about the same, said
By JANE PAPACCIO
News Editor
Stack. Each year the University
and all other college institutions
experiences a turnover of students,
added Stack. Approximate-
ly 1,300 first-year-students replace
those who were first year stu-
dents. Consequently, the need for
discipline does not fluctuate drastically,
he added.
The effects of underage drinking
represent the greatest problem,
said Stack. Sometimes students
are confronted because they
Visitation policy modified
Recently, there have been
numerous visitation policy modifications,
said Arts and Sciences
Senator David Greason. "There
are still efforts bejng made to
change our visitation policy," he
added.
The following residence halls
will have 24-hour co-educational
study lounges: St. Monica, Katherine.
Good Counsel, O'Dwyer,
Corr, Moriarity, Stanford (first
floor lounge only) and the St.
Mary's library.
Earlier access to all residence
halls will come into effect shortly.
Visitation will begin at 10 a.m. on
weekdays as opposed to 12 p.m.
On weekends, access still begins
at 12 p.m.
By the fall of 1994, the Student
Government Association (SGA),
hopes to have 24-hour visitation
for all members of the same sex,
said Greason. For instance, any
female will have access to any
female residence hall 24 hours a
day, he added.
According to SGA president
Patrick Kennedy, the SGA is
hoping for an eventual abolishment
of all parietals on campus.
Furthermore, "The SGA hopes
to begin its quest with the abolishment
of visitation rules in the
single-room, single-sex residence
halls, such as Austin and St.
Rita's," said Kennedy.
violated the liquor laws of the
University and state, but there are
just as many cases where students
are disciplined as a result of other
crimes that stem from underage
drinking. Possession or consumption
» of alcohol leads to other
crimes, including vandalism, rob-
beries, sex offenses and theft,
added Stack.
"Last semester, 75 students
who committed vandalisms had to
pay restitution. Most

Two rapes

ByJANEPAPACCIO
News Editor
Over the weekend of Jan. 28,
two unrelated incidents of rape
were reported to the University
department of Public Safety by
two female college students who
visited the University, said Jeffrey
Horton, director of Public Safety.
Both alleged assailants are
current University students, Horton
said. One rape was reported
as having occurred Friday, Jan. 28
into Saturday, Jan. 29 and the
other was said to have occurred
Saturday, Jan. 29 into Sunday,
Jan. 30. Both victims have reported
to authorities that their incidents
occurred in Fedigan Hall.
"As best an anyone can determine,
they [the two incidents] really
didn't have anything to do with
each other," said Horton.

The victims were in the residence
hall before the incident
occurred, Horton said. "There
may have been some socializing
before hand; however, the victims
may not like to call it date rape.
I don't think they were on dates;
it's more like dealing with
acquaintances," he said.
Both women reported the
assaults to medical personnel at
local hospitals where they went
for treatment after the incidents.

Billionaire Ross Perot and
his grass roots organization
United We Stand held a weekend
conference to define their
agenda. The group discussed
whether to move away from
Perot's influence. "The real
test of this organization is if
they can attract people even if
they don't like Ross Perot,"
says James Squire, a former
campaign adviser for Perot.
The organization's recently
selected state representatives
concluded the national conference
and Perot issued an
"action plan" for 1994. The
group aims to develop a voter
registration program and to
evaluate candidates for office.
The group also plans to emphasize
11 main issues including
education, campaign finance,
term limit, and balancing the
budget.
The group has run into conflicts
in its closed door meet-
ings. Because of internal dis-
putes, the group refused to
rank issues by importance.

Setting school policy while administering
other academic functions
were his other major responsibil-
ities," he said.
"Throughout the years, our
branch of student life has worked
quite well together with the
division of academic affairs," said
Stack.
"Father Gallen has devoted
many years of hard work to our
University. He was the recipient
of the Lindback Awards which
recognizes outstanding faculty
members," Stack said.
"A search committee will soon
seek a replacement for his position.
Father Gallen's dedicated
efforts were very much appreciat-
ed; I'm sorry to see him leave,"
Stack added.
BEYOND THE MAIN LINE
Also, debate continues as to
whether or not membership
numbers for United We Stand
should be made public. The
group voted to keep the total
secret. Ralph Lermayer, state
chairman from New Mexico
explains, "Do we tell them or
is there power in the

NEW ORLEANS
Civic leader Donald Mintz
and state senator Marc Morial
won the New Orleans mayoral
primary vote with 37 percent
and 32 percent of the vote
respectively. A runoff election
will be held March 5. Both
candidates have set their campaign
in high gear. According
to Dr. Edward Renwick, direc-
tor of the Institute of Politics
at Loyola University, "Unless
there is a smoking gun that
destroys one of them, turnout
is going to determine who wins
the runoff."
Although Mintz, who is
white, is the current frontrunner,
he faces a tough challenge
in light of the city*s 59
percent black electorate. Mor-
ial, the son of the city's first
black Mayor, Ernest N. (Dutch)
Morial, is seen as a very strong
candidate.
The primary vote appeared
unaffected by a conflict over
anti-semitic and racist fliers
which are now the subject of
a grand jury investigation.

The Rev. Philip F. Barrett, O.S. A., recently passed away. He had been
the dean of the School of Commerce and Finance for 1 1 years.
Former dean passes on
By JANE PAPACCIO
News Editor
Philip F. Barrett, O.S.A. died
Sunday, Jan. 30 at Bryn Mawr
Hospital. Barrett was 75 years old.
He was an Augustinian priest for
40 years. "He was a very priestly
man," said Alvin A. Clay, dean of
Commerce and Finance.
He was received into the Augustinian
Novitiate in 1949. Barrett
professed his first vows in 1950
and his solemn vows in 1953. He
studied theology at Augustinian
College in Washington D.C. and
was ordained to the priesthood in
1953. After ordination, Barrett
studied accounting and finance at
the Catholic University of Amer-
ica and received an M.S. degree
in 1954. In 1962, Barrett was
appointed dean of the University
School of Commerce and Finance.
In 1972, Barrett served as direc-
tor of the Augustinian Flood Relief
when a disasterous flood struck
his native area of Wilkes Barre,
Pa.
"He was forthright; he never
had a hidden agenda. Furthermore,
he was an optimist," Clay
said.
In 1976, he resigned from his
post at the University and received
an honorary Doctorate of Humanities
in 1977.
"Barrett was compassionate.
He was always willing to give a
second or even third chance to
everyone," Clay said.

Student Activities tevamped
By KATHLEEN COONEY

. Recently, the Office of Student
Activities has experienced
changes throughout the department.
One important change
occurred when Randy Farmer,
previously the assistant director
of Student Activities for Programming,
assumed Lucynda Gorski's
position as director of Student
Activities.
As programming director.
Farmer coordinated and advised
committees on the implementation
of campus wide programs. He
was also the primary advisor to
the Student Programming Council
(SPC). He also worked in the
resource center in the SPC office,
facilitating leadership development
for students, he said.
The whole system had just been
established and settled when
"things started to happen with
Student Activities," said Farmer.
"Our focus changed" with regard
to priorities, he added.
The Student Activities Office
began to examine how other
schools handled their student
activities, said Farmer. "We
looked more closely at what we
were doing and where we wanted
to go," he added.
This position has not
been available lor 13
years.

Writing Center tutors students
By PATTI TRENCHAK
Staff Reporter
By KATHLEEN CONWAY
Staff Reporter
The growing popularity of the
Writing Center demonstrates the
success of student tutoring in
order to promote a nonintimidating
atmosphere while
providing beneficial help for writing
papers. Located in the Dalton
Room of Old Falvey Library, the
center is open 1:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m
Monday through Thursday and
1:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m. Fridays.
"Although the Writing Center
is informal and friendly, the focus
is serious and intellectual," said
Karyn Hollis, director of the
facility. Last year the attendance
numbers soared with 2,014 students
making appointments,
which is double the previous
year's 1,122, added Hollis.
Professors often offer extra
credit and require students to
visit the center. Professor Jaye
Berman Montresor said the facil-
ity is not just for poor writers. It
makes the students more aware
of the revision process. "The more
eyes that look at the writing, the
better the work can effectively
communicate," said Montresor.
Hollis acknowledged that overcrowding
has become a problem
within the years due to the
increased popularity of the facility.
The spring semester is much
"slower" in terms of appointments,
said Hollis.
The Center is staffed with 25-
30 tutors, with an average of four
tutors available on any given
afternoon. David Holmes, one of
the three coordinators who schedules
appointments for students
to see a tutor, estimates that an
average of 30 students a day seek
the help of the Center's tutors.
The Writing Center staff makes
an effort to keep the atmosphere
informal, says Holmes, "We try
to make the students feel comfortable.
.. We won't scold, and we
won't grade."
Students can walk in and ask
for help, but Holmes "strongly
recommends" that students call
ahead to schedule an appointment
with a tutor. Tutors are randomly
assigned to students, but one can
request a specific tutor. Each
appointment lasts from 30-45
minutes, and students are asked
to bring with them all of their
work, from notes to outlines to
drafts.
Holmes suggests that students
who need help bring in the assignment,
their notes, their outlines
— whatever they have — and the
tutors will try to help the student
put together a well-written paper.
The tutors at the Writing Center
help students work on any and all
stages of their writing, from
outUnes to final drafts. Tutors
help students to put general ideas
into concrete sentences and paragraphs.
They also help to revise
drafts and correct grammatical
and mechanical mistakes.
The Center employs a five-step
plan for revising a draft. This plan
includes steps to ensure the accuracy
of the paper, the formation
of a specific thesis, the organization
and development of support-
ing material and the correction of
grammatic and mechanical
mistakes.
This year 48 people applied to
be tutors and 20 were chosen. The
selection of tutors is based on
writing ability, class and gender.
Faculty members are asked to
recommend students with exceptional
writing ability to become
tutors. These students are asked
to submit a writing sample as well
as to attend an interview. Prefer-
ably, sophomores are chosen so
they can be trained in the spring
semester and work for their junior
and senior years.
Although more women than
men are recommended by their
teachers, Hollis said that she
strives to select an even number
of each. It is more interesting to
have several men as well as
women tutors, said Hollis.
Once chosen to become tutors,
students must take Hollis' "Tutoring
Writers: Theory and Practice"

Activities, will fill that position.
The new assistant director of
Student Activities will be Karen
Caldaroni, who is now the advisor
for SPC. She will assume Bonas'
office which is physically opposite
of Farmer's.
"We're currently searching for
another staff member to serve as
advisor to SPC," said Farmer.
Bonas will move to the SPC
office in Connelly Centers where
he will also see over the leadership
resource center, said Farmer. The
SPC will move to the Association
of Commuting Students' (ACS)
office in Dougherty Hall, and the
ACS will move to the Inter-
Fraternity Council (IFC) office
which will in turn be relocated to
the SPC office, Farmer added.
As for Farmer's new position,
he says he took the job because
"Father Stack offered me the
opportunity to serve the University
in this way. This position has
not been available for 13 years,"
he added.
We looked more closely
at what we were doing
and where we wanted to
go.

by the Chinese and Asian
Students Associations as well as
the Student Programming Council
(SPC) and the International Students
Office. It will include traditional
Chinese entertainment
provided by the students and will
be held in the Day Hop Cafe
tonight at 6 p.m. Tickets are $7
at the door and all are welcome.
According to Steve McWilliams,
director of the International Students
Office, "It is their Christmas
and New Year rolled into one."
Being both a religious event as
well as marking time and history,
nothing in our society is truly
comparable to it, he said. It is a
solemn celebration of Chinese
culture and life that cannot be
compared to America's 40-ft. tall
inflatable Bullwinkle, floating
down Madison Avenue on Jan. 1,
added McWilliams.
"This is no production of pol-
itical correctness, it's simply a
chance for Chinese students to get
together and share this holiday
with anyone who is curious or
interested, said McWilliams.
"Organizing this celebration is
really about giving the students
something they already have. It's
just making it possible for them
to celebrate their most important
holiday when they're 8,000 miles
from home," said McWilliams.
Though certainly the festivities
are for Chinese students, community
participation is important,
McWilliams said. The role of the
International Students Office is
primarily to help integrate foreign
students and assist them with the
practical details that are easy to
take for granted when you live in
your native country, he added.
Interaction with the University
community is a vital second step
for these students and the Chinese
New Year is one opportunity for
that to happen, McWilliams
added.
"It's about integrating the
students into the community
while letting that community
know they're here. This is what
is truly important for these young
men and women."

Lehman. Off-campus AIDS
activists may be present for the

including the group ACT-UP, she
added.
"AIDS Awareness Week has

The main goal of AIDS Awareness
Week is to "educate as many
people as possible. AIDS is not
selective in choosing its victims;
it can happen to anyone," concluded
Lehman.

Communication Arts presents AIDS performance
By JENNIFER MUNDY
Staff Reporter
As a part of AIDS Awareness
Week, a group of student actors
and actresses under the direction
of Heidi Rose, a professor in the
communication arts department,
will be performing in conjunction
with the viewing of the quilt.
The performers, who are the
founding members of a group
called Interpreters Theater, represent
many different niches of the
University. The group includes
John Protevi, a professor from the
philosophy department; Ellen
Pitrowski and D.J. Meincke, University
law school students; and
five undergraduate students, Ann
Gavaghan, Melissa Kraus, Mary
Jane Mahan, Lisa Wadors and
Graham Walsh. Despite their very
different backgrounds, these individuals
were drawn together
because each had a genuine inter-
est in the disease of AIDS, the
individuals who are stricken with
it and the world community with-
in which these individuals live.
"This performance was a way
to get to understand what it is like
to be a part of the community of
people with AIDS," said Meincke.
The performance, entitled
"Remembrance and Renewal,"
includes poetry, drama, prose and
sonnets written by individuals
suffering from AIDS and fictional
writers. Two of the poems, "Quilting"
and "We Knew" were written
by Protevi, one of the performers.
The performances, which last
approximately 20 minutes, will
take place several times throughout
those days during which the
quilt can be viewed. It is the hope
of the performers that the pieces
that they have chosen to perform
will help students deal with the
impact of seeing the quilt. "The
viewing of the quilt is a very
emotional experience. It is going
to impact people strongly if they
do not know much about it," said
Rose.
Although the primary focus of
AIDS Awareness Week is to edu-
cate all those who participate in
the activities about HIV and AIDS
prevention, the performances will
aid in creating a sense of community
on campus, said Rose. "The
quilt itself brings people together
who would not normally get
together. The performance will
create a sense of renewal of hope
in addition to a feeling that people
with AIDS are not alone," added
Rose.
Melissa Kraus, one of the performers,
hopes that the performance
will reinforce the idea that
anyone can get AIDS. It should
mark the end of the ignorance and
the beginning of the passion, said
Kraus. "Even if only one person
is touched by it [the performance]
in the littlest way, it's all worth
it," said Kraus.
In addition to being a profound
contribution to AIDS Awareness
Week, the performances mark the
beginning of the communication
arts department's new focus on
the performance aspect of the
major. In response to a growing
interest among students in the
area of performance. Rose will be
offering a course in the fall semester
entitled "Oral Interpretation
of Literature." This course will
offer students the opportunity to
study literature through
performance.
"Remembrance and Renewal"
can be seen in the Villanova Room
of the Connelly Center free of
charge. The performance dates
and times are as follows: Wednesday,
Feb. 16, 12 noon and 5 p.m.;
Thursday, Feb. 17, 12 noon, 3:30
and 7 p.m.; Friday, Feb. 18, 9 a.m.
and 12 noon.

Convenient one-stop shopping
at the financial aid office
will (pake borrowing money
easier for college students at
105 selected colleges, the U.S.
Department of Education
announced recently.
The new program — the
Federal Direct Student Loan
Program — will provide funds
directly to students through
the colleges rather than
through private lenders.
The program will eliminate
excess profits in the current
system and capitalize on the
government's ability to borrow
money at low interest rates.
The program was established
to save taxpayers an estimated
$4.3 billion through fiscal year
1998.
U.S. Secretary of Education
Richard W. Riley announced
late last year the schools selected
to participate in the first
year of the program. All regions
of the country and most states
will have colleges participating
in the program. More than
1,100 schools applied to
participate.
"The overwhelming response
from schools committed
to direct lending's success
marks an excellent beginning,"
Riley said.

Vandalism is inconsiderate and
at the same time costly, said
Stack. "The students think they

not think of doing at home. It

added Stack.
The cost for damages done to

committed these acts is caught for
these misdoings, everbody suffers.
said Stack. The students must
pay for their actions. Custodians
and workmen are inconvenienced,
added Stack. These actions effect
the whole University community.
"I lump most vandalisms and
violations as a lack of consider-
ation for others, their property,
their roommate, their dormitory
and their campus," said Stack.
"For example, the act of flooding
a toilet is serious. It effects the
other students living on the floor
and it effects those who have to
clean it up," added Stack.
The recent barrage of snow and
ice inflated the vandalism statistics.
The simple act of throwing
snowballs incurred numerous

riately. Farmer also helps prepare
the budgets for over 150 organizations
on campus. He is also the
primary advisor to Special Olympics
and ACS. Parents' Weekend
and Senior Week are other activ-
ities Farmer is responsible for.
Farmer serves on some University
committees including the
Cultural Climate Committee
whose concern is diversity issues
on campus.
"It's meeting a lot with students
and hearing their concerns," said
Farmer about his new position. He
says much of his job is concerned
with "coming up with viable
solutions" to bureaucratic
problems.
"It's a position with unique
challenges," said Farmer. He
believes that "the quality of the
students is the greatest contributor
for high standards in the
activity area."
The Office of Student Activities
is changing its name to the Office
of Student Development. This
new name more accurately
reflects the department's role,
said Farmer. "Development is a
growth process and it's ongoing.
People grow from their involvement,"
he added.
The name change will not be
implemented until after all the
office switching is finished, which
will probably be sometime after
commencement or early June at
the latest, said Farmer.

which is geared at improving the
tutor's own writing. The class
also provides the student with
techniques for tutoring other
writers.
Marc Egan, a junior Communications
major, is currently
enrolled in the course and says
that the class is extremely intense
because it "forces you to
remember the basics." In preparation
for next year's tutoring job
at the Writing Center, he
explained that the focus is on the
development and organization.
As a current tutor, junior Kerry
Lattanzio, said, "It's a really fun
job, especially when the students
are enthusiastic about their
work." Students have the opportunity
to request a certain tutor
and often bring th** same paper
back more than once lor revisions,
she said.
HoUis stresses that the Writing
Center "serves as a place where
undergraduates can have intellec-
tual conversations." Tutoring in
every kind of writing from philosophy
and English papers to
graduate school studies, the center
offers students the opportunity to
improve their writing.

"Ho means no"just
doesn't cut it
Women, always be cautious and watch your back.
When going to parties or the like, always travel with a
large group of friends. Don't drink too much. Don't send
out mixed signals. Also, always be mindful of your
surroundings and stay out of the "bad" parts of town
after dark. It might be a good idea to carry mace in your
purses, too. Remember, you can never be too careful.
Men, when a woman says no, she means no. Always
respect her decision.
While women are bombarded with information that
could easily be included in a "How to protect yourself
from violent crimes" book under the chapter entitled,
"How to prevent being a victim of rape," and other
sexual behavior:
Although those three little words, "no means no,"
are undeniably important ones, men need to become better
educated about rape and sexual crime. Since men
perpetrate most of the sex crimes in the United States,
they should understand the consequences of such violent
acts. "No means no" just doesn't cut it.
The University as well as the students, has to bear
the responsibility for the sexual behavior of the students.
The University, as well as the American society at
large, has a responsibility to better educaste its young
adult males about sexual behavior so they do not become
potential rapists and sex offenders.
Perhaps if men were better educated, the number
of rapes and sexual assaults that occur would decrease.
An hour presentation during freshmen orientation doesn't
cut it, either.
Clinton budget falls
short of promises
Reaction to President Clinton's 1995 federal budget
proposal was nothing unexpected. Most Democrats
expressed approval, while Republicans, particularly
Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, found flaws abounding
in the spending blueprint. The mixed reactions come as
no surprise, since this proposal contains a mixed bag of
positive and negatives for the American public.
Clinton's supporters can point to the fact that the
1995 budget is projected to lower the federal spending
deficit to a mere $176 billion, its lowest point in six years.
1995 would also mark the first time since the 1940s that
the national deficit was reduced for three consecutive
years.
However, the flaws in this proposal are not too
difficult for the Clinton's opposition to point out. The
deficit reduction is not being accomplished by curbing
national spending — total federal expenditures will
actually increase under Clinton's plan. Although the
President proudly points out that he has abolished 115
wasteful programs, these programs account for only .05
percent of the nation's cumulative spending. Where is
the money coming from to cover this increase in spending?
You guessed it — taxes; at least 85 percent of government
revenues will come through income, corporate and social
taxes.
To be sure, Clinton has honorable intentions with
some of his "investments." Some of the increases in
spending will go towards areas like education and crime
prevention. But Clinton is not being aggressive enough
in his attempt to prove that he is not the "tax and spend"
practitioner that his conservative critics dub him as. More
cuts up front in the federal expenditures will be needed
in 1996 if Clinton is to shed this label.

Villanova's fine arts program
in dire need of renovation
To the Editor:
As a member of the Student
Government Association's Fine
Arts Task Force (FATF), I am
writing to inform you of a deficiency
we believe the University
possesses. Villanova is a reputable
institution where students excel
in academics and athletics, yet the
FATF perceives a lack of focus on
an extremely important part of
building our character in society.
The FATF believes that Villanova
needs to install a fine arts
program in order to further enrich
students and develop yet another
facet of our lives. The importance
of the fine arts program and
facilities at Villanova would great-
ly improve the overall quality of
this institution and contribute to
the "well-rounding" of the
scholar.
Some students who have earned
advanced placement credit in
courses such as studio art must
travel to Rosemont College to
continue their study, simply
There are many
intermediate scliools
and lugli scliools whose
facilities are quite
technologicallf superior
to ours.
because the University does not
have the resources. There are
musicians who are dissatisfied
with the music program, complaining
that there are not enough
options open to them. Most of the
musical groups are sociallyoriented
organizations. There is
no student orchestra.
Over the past months, there has
been confusion and aggravation
among students, who as artists,
can't practice what they enjoy due
to insufficient University facilities.
While the development and
building of this tme art foundation
lies as one of Villanova's future
goals in strategic planning, it is
our job to increase the awareness
of this void now, and make this
goal a reality today.
The improwement of the
fine arts program and
facilities at Kllanowa
would greatly improve
the oyeraK quality of
this institution and
contribute to the "well-
rounding" of the
scholar.
By installing a better fine arts
program in the University, not
only would some students be
allowed to continue to practice
and mature in their own field of
art, but new doors would open to
students who have not experienced
the fine arts. This would
encourage new students to appre-
ciate the arts and perhaps love
them as well, by nurturing a new
affection and new outlet of creation
for all Villanovans.
By enlightening students with
aestheticism at Villanova. we will
be bringing students closer together
and increasing diversity simul-
taneously. The current facilities
are in desperate need of renovation,
for there are many interme-
diate schools and high schools
^
whose facilities are quite techno-
logically superior to ours.
The construction of a centralized
arts facility, separate from St.
Augustine, where fine arts faculty
would have studies, would be
beneficial to the University, as it
would provide space for the teaching
and learning of the arts for
the entire Villanova community.
We want to increase the awareness

Athletes pledge their allegiance to consumerism
By ELLEN GOODMAN
Just when you thought the
kudzu-like plot of the Nancy and
Tonya story couldn't grow any
thicker or faster, along comes a
sturdy little subplot. Outside the
rinks and the courts, there are
visible sprouts of another rivalry,
between Reebok and Nike.
Ever since Nike's president put
up $25,000 for the defense of
Harding, tongues have been wag-
ging. Are the folks at Nike really
anteing up for truth and justice?
Or are they trying to stick it to
Reebok? Since Reebok has Nancy
to endorse their goods, does Nike
want to endorse Tonya as an
opponent?
This is a subplot that only a
cynic could love. But the wholesale
transformation of athletes into
actors vying for the starring role
in ads has made cynicism
obsolete.
It is taken as a given in this
sorry tale that the real gold Tonya
and Nancy are going for is the big
fat pot of endorsement money.
Even Tonya openly and misgiiidedly
shared her Olympic fantasy
saying, "There are little dollar
signs spinning around my head."
Now, amateur analysts pin
Harding's supposed bitterrnesson
the way she was "denied" endorsements.
They say this as if
successful athletes were entitled
to take their rightful place in the
realm of the 30-second ad world.
In the other camp, Kerrigan
trackers declare that she's a
winner before she gets on the
Norwegian ice. Why? Because her
agent's phone hasn't stopped
ringing with offers.
Well, I wasn't around in 1907
when Ty Cobb first pitched Coca-
Cola. I can't remember the champions
that Wheaties was the
breakfast of. I can barely
remember Joe Namath in his
pantyhose. But I am aware that
Michael Jordan made $28 million
last year — roughly eight times
his outrageous basketball salary
— for selling. So, I'm not naive
about sports and ads.
But I 9m struck anew by the
way everything — entertainment,
sports, even politics — seems to
have merged together into one
infomercial. And by the way we
accept it all.
In the movies, every soft drink
that appears now is duly labeled
as if it were — and it is — a paid
ad. On television, kids' programs
may be little more than commer-
cials for the products that star in
them. At tennis matches and golf
tournaments, players clad in
products swinging products compete
for cups named after
products.
In Hollywood, actress Candice
Bergen goes from Murphy Brown
to Sprint. In Orlando, athlete
Shaquille O'Neal goes from the
Magic to Pepsi. Meanwhile, Susan
Powter starts out with an ad §ind
ends up a best-selling "author."
It's a small world in which victory
goes to the one with the highest
Q rating.
The only time we seem to notice
the subtle merchandising of everyone
is when politicians such as
Geraldine Ferraro and Dan Quayle
move from selling themselves in
campaign ads to selling Pepsi or
potato chips. Or when Kathleen
Sullivan "violates" the standards
of the news profession that
dumped her by pushing Weight
Watchers.
The speed with which this has
happened among athletes is
record-breaking. And, yes, depressing.
Even Nova Lanktree, who
brokers sports figures for com-
mercials, remembers when ath-
letes "used to be called heroes or
legends." Now, she says, they are
called stars. They share this
firmament with entertainers, all
twinkling for ad dollars.
How long ago was it when we
complained that Soviet athletes
were supported by the state? They
pledged allegiance to socialism.
Our own are supported by sneakers,
colas and hamburgers. They
pledge allegiance to consumerism.
The real winners and losers
become those who do and don't
have the right stuff. The stuff to
be successful at sales.
Tonya loyalists are absolutely
right in noting that women who
win endorsements fit a too narrow,
pretty, feminine, Dorothy
Hamill, Chris Evert and yes,
Nancy Kerrigan mold. No tough
girls need apply.
But when all is said and done
— soon, I hope — the sorriest
spectacle is not just Tonya v.
Nancy, or Nike v. Reebok. It's the
grand-slam takeover by companies
who award the real gold medals.
In this world every accomplishment
has the same value: a market
value. What you can do is only
worth what you can sell.
Any day now, the cameras will
move from this seamy drama to
the glamorous one at Lillehammer.
Light the torch high.
Welcome to the XVIIth Olympiad
— the ultimate infomercial. Let
the ads begin.

Student says, "To hear, one has but to listen. 55
By PETER SHAUGER
As a second semester senior, I'm
beginning to realize that I haven't
done much at this University. I've
never streaked through the Quad,
I've never had to complete one of
those crazy initiation tasks that
those wacky fraternities think up
and I've never been to the Writing
Center.
I know what you're thinking:
what kind of a loser hasn't been
to the Writing Center? This kind
of loser.
But to all of you people whom
I've laughed at in the past four
years whose teachers made you
go, I apologize. Within the next
few weeks, I will become one of
you. Almost as monumental as
man's first steps on the moon, I
will take my first steps into the
Writing Center.
Being an English major, most
of my English teachers assume
that their students know the rules
of grammar and spelling and how
to form thoughts in general, i dont
no wear they had gott that real
brightly idea;
The class that requires me to
go to the Writing Center for the
first time is Film Analysis. My
ON CAMPUS

Kristen Newman
Freshman
Liberal Arts
teacher explained to us in a very
uplifting manner (it almost uplifted
me out of the room!) that the
Writing Center is not just for poor
writers, but for good writers who
want to improve.
It was such a moving speech
that I had to look up and see if
it was my teacher speaking or a
recording of my teacher reading
a speech that the Writing Center's
PR person prepared for her.
For the most part, I agree with
the tape recorder. The Writing
Center is the place to go if you
want to improve your writing. But
the tape recorder didn't take into
account the fact that people who
take Film Analysis usually aren't
concerned with improving their
writing. I mean, let's be realistic.
Now, a good teacher will recommend
that their students use the
Writing Center. Other teachers
require their students to go.
Maybe it's just me, but I seem to
get the least value out of something
when I'm forced into it. Like
when people force you to eat your
vegetables, I firmly believe that
the vegetables lose their nutrition-
al value.
I understand why many
teachers in the business school
send their students to the Writing
Center (or as the tutors affection-
ately call it, "The W.C."); there
is a terrible stereotype going
around that business students are
bad writers. But to those teachers
who believe this highly underrated
myth, let me give you a quote
from the classic film, "Gremlins":
"To hear, one has but to listen."
Business teachers, listen to your
students, because in their own
warped way, they are trying to
communicate with you.
Unfortunately, many other
teachers who send students to the
Writing Center have the idea that
the tutors are there just to correct
grammar, which they are not.
They focus on the ideas.
And too many of the students
leave the Writing Center expecting
an "A" since they sat through
an entire hour session (or, for
those of you who can't tell time,
that's one episode of "Melrose
Place").
As far as business majors being
poor writers, I'm sure they're no
worse than any English major on
a tangent. No writing is harder
to read than papers written by
English majors who think they
know what they are talking about,

because they usually don't. And
even if they do, they've been out
of touch with the real world for
so long that they can't even
convey a simple message anymore
without over analyzing it and
using way too many semicolons.
Heck, read this article.
Personally, I have nothing
against the Writing Center. Great
people work there like Carolyn,
Kate, Alex and John — well, I
don't know about John, but I'm
sure there are other great people
who work there with the exception
of John. And they've told me
nothing can be more fulfilling
than tutoring someone who wants
to improve and actually witnessing
the improvement. They've
also told me nothing can be worse
than tutoring someone who
doesn't want to be there.
I would have been there sooner,
but it's hard to schedule an
appointment five minutes before
your paper, which' you just wrote
two hours ago, is due.

major who rights real bad and who
didn '/ mean anything by that crack
about John. Really.

Special Olympics begins to cooidlncrie festivities
By ROSEANNE MILLER
Assistant Features Editor
Each fall, anticipation builds at
Villanova in preparation for the
Special Olympic's annual Fall
Festival. Although many students
become involved in this campuswide
activity, you might not
realize that preparation begins
long before fall arrives.
Preparation for the '94 ceremonies
are already well underway.
Junior Andrew Ramley has recently
been named Festival Director
for the ceremonies to be held on
Nov. 11. 12, and 13.
Working with Ramley in the
planning stages will be the Special
Olympic's Management Team
which will be comprised of five
students. Applicants for the management
team have just finished
the interview process. Chosen
students will be announced today.
The five chosen individuals will
be in charge of conducting inter-
views for those who are applying
for the positions of committee
chairs.
There are 21 fall festival committees,
each of which need a
chairperson. Applications for
these positions are currently
available in the Student Activities
Office. Applications are due on
Monday, Feb. 14. Once students
hand in their applications, they
may sign up for an interview.
Interviews are scheduled for the
week before Spring Break.
During the interviews, the
Management Team will be looking
for applicants who have had past
experience in the specific area
which they wish to chair. They
are also looking for applicants
who exhibit leadership qualities,
are open, enthusiastic and
confident.

By KRISTIN BERNARDYN
Staff Reporter
Have you ever considered what
it is like to be a student athlete?
Unless you happen to be one, you
are probably unaware of the great
enthusiasm and dedication that
student athletes pour into their
athletic commitments. The athletic
commitments involve not only
actual playing or time spent
competing, but also time for
traveling, team practices, weight
training and personal training,
both during the season and during
the off season.
According to freshman volley-
ball player Debbi Picco, the fall
season practice schedule which
consists of almost 20 hours per
week is a lot of time to devote to
volleyball. For Picco, however,
this volleyball commitment
"makes academics a lot easier
[because] it puts me on a schedule.
The training can tire you out, but
it is worth it because it forces you
to take your obligations seriously
and get done what needs to be
done," Picco said.
For women's track and field
cross country runner Rebecca
Spies, the average day includes a
7 a.m. run before morning classes,
practice in the afternoon, weights
two or three times a week, dinner,
some night classes and then
homework at night. "With a full
class load, practice and traveling,
it is very difficult to get everything
done," admits Spies. She does find
the combination of academics and
athletics rewarding because of the
discipline it demands. "It organ-
izes you and gives you direction,"
Spies said.
Eric Pearson, sophomore quarterback,
admits that budgeting
his time during the football season
is a challenge, but "knowing that
you're getting a good education"
makes the time trade-off worth it.
"The school is giving something
to you and you are giving something
back," he said.
These obligations must be carefully
scheduled around other
activities and sometimes even
around classes. For many student
athletes serious participation
demands scheduling most classes
in the morning in order to be
available to practice in the afternoon.
This means that homework
is not begun until evening hours,
after an already grueling day.
Pearson finds that there is
sometimes a pull between "knowing
when to study and when you
can let homework go." For the
most part, it seems that student
athletes are responsible for balancing
their time and fitting homework
into the daily routine. How-

facilities committee. This fall he
served as chairperson of the
powerlifting event. Ramley feels
that Special Olympics has been an
incredible experience. He added,
"I feel my personal purpose in
serving as festival director is to
give back to the athletes what I
have gained over the past two
years. ' In general, Ramley describes
Special Olympics as, "a
great cause in which we accomp-
lish a great many things."
Senior Sheri Howarth, who
served on the '93 Management
Team for support services, clearly
agrees, "It was the best experience
I could take with me from school
— and that's an understatement!"
She went on to explain that the
learning experience was phenomenal.
"I learned not only about
others, but I also learned about
myself," stated Howarth. She
stressed that the interaction with
the Olympians and the bonding
was an experience that will be
with her long after she's
graduated.
Anyone interested in chairing a
committee is encouraged to pick
up an application at the Office of
Student Activities, 204 Dougherty,
and have it submitted by
Monday.

Sicilian struggles
By JILL BETTGER
Staff Reporter
"Children of Fate," this week's
cultural film, traces four generations
of the impoverished Capra
family in Sicily with Angela, the
mother, as the pivotal figure.
Fate and history play a part in
the making of this film both onand
off-screen. In 1961, Robert
Young and Michael Roemer produce
"Cortile Cascino" (named
after a Palermo slum) for NBC.
The network pulled it just days
before the scheduled air date,
however, denouncing it as too
strong for television audiences.
This 45-minute portrait of Sicilian
poverty has since become
an underground classic. When
channel four in Britain planned
to broadcast "Cortile Cascino" in
1989, they asked Robert Young's
son Andrew to write the introduc-
tion. Instead, Young and his wife,
Susan Todd, decided to find the
Capras and bring the film up to
date.
In 1961 Angela Capra was 23,
struggling to raise her three
children, dodging her husband's
menacing punches and engaging
in prostitution to make ends meet.
In the village where the Capras
resided, where 300 people shared
the water from one faucet,
thoughts of anything beyond
survival were rare.
Moving ahead to 1989, Angela
has left her abusive husband and
lives in a cheerful apartment in
the projects. The legacy of poverty
lives on, however. One of Angela's
children has cancer, the other is
linked with the Mafia and the last
has recently
prison.
been released from
Angela narrates the film, which
fluctuates between past and present
to emphasize what a trap the
past has become. "I think she saw
us as being called to bear witness
to these events in her life," says
Andrew Young of Angela Capra.
"Here we were making a film
about people caught up in fate and
we were caught up in it
ourselves."
The Philadelphia premiere of
"Children of Fate" will be shown
on Feb. 12 at 7 p.m., Feb. 13 at
3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Feb. 14
at 7 p.m. The Monday showing
will be followed by a lecture given
by Professor Richard Juliani, of
the sociology department at Vil-
lanova. The lecture is entitled,
"Constraint Versus Choice
Among the Poor."

Will you be my Valentine?
ttttttt
PERSON lO PERSON
By TARA CAMPITIELLO
Features Editor
Do you remember third grade?
Mom probably forced you to put
a big fuzzy wool hat on, the ones
with those silly pom-pom things
on top. You insisted that the hat
was so itchy that you might
scratch your head off. Mom tuned
you out as she threw out some
trivia about the percentage of
body heat which escapes from the
head while tightening your scarf.
Mom then stood back, admired
her wooly creation, which you
were trapped in, and sent you on
your way to the bus stop.
Just as you were at the bottom
of the stairs mom called out,
"Don't forget these honeyV Well,
it would have been too good to be
true. She forgot to attach the red,
white and pink cupid pin to your
coat, but there was no way she
was going to forget the huge box
of Happy Valentine's Day cards
she made you fill out, one for every
classmate of course.
I never really did enjoy filling
out those cards. They were the
ones with the perforated edges
which you had to carefully pop out
of the sheets since each one was
only about four inches tall. Then
there was always the decision of
which cards were "cooler," the
Smurf ones, the Strawberry
Shortcake ones, the Peanuts ones,
and don't forget Ziggy.
However, the greatest dilemma
would arise when actually filling
out the cards. The signing of the
valentine is a crucial move whether
in grade schooler college.
"From" was usually generic
enough to keep you safe from
ridicule; "love," as a rule, would
leave you open to public scrutiny.
I knew that everyone in class
would be running around conducting
a comparative study on
who sent who a Valentine; therefore,
I was glad to follow mom's
advice to send every classmate
one. This course of action was not
without its downfall since I had
to send one not only to the class
bully, but I had to send one to the
kid at my lunch table who picked
his nose. I would also opt to draw
a little heart, and then sign my
name. The heart, I thought, left
everything up in the air, and the
few times I was confronted, I
merely said that I drew a heart
because it was in keeping withthe
Valentine theme.
The grade school pressures of
Valentine's Day seem inconsequential
when compared to those
Valentine's Day pressures which
are currently upon us. However,
maybe everyone should have a
reality check.
The days leading up to Valentine's
Day are usually filled with
some anxiety, varying d^^rees for
different people and situations of
course. Those with long time
boyfriends or girlfriends have it
the easiest. Essentially, for no
other reason than that you know
exactly what you must do, say,
or buy in order to avoid having
your butt kicked.
If that someone special who you
wish to be your Valentine is
unaware of your feelings, Valentine's
Day pressure is at a minimum.
Whatever course of action
you decide to take, provided you
do something/anything, you can

because not to do so would
be similar to not recognizing the
person. However, you do not want
"Be my Valentine" to be confused
with "Will you marry me?"
Just as beauty is in the eye of
the beholder (or beerholder, after
all this is Villanova), the meaning
of "Be my Valentine" is held by
the speaker. Somewhere between
chocolate hearts and red roses,
beneath all of the Hallmark hype,
Valentine's Day is about love,
friendship, and passion. With
whom you share these feelings or
to what extent is not the heart
of the matter. It is simply a day
which you can use to let your
boyfriend or girlfriend, "scope,"
or "just friend" know how you
feel.

Gradyville finds college music scene
By MAURA GIBNEY
Staff Reporter
Alternative music has long
been equated with the Seattle
scene which brought us bands
such as Nirvana and Soundgarden.
This picture is quickly
changing. Great alternative bands
are now springing up across the
country and hailing not only from *
big cities but also from small
towns. One such place is Jamestown,
New York. Wait
. . Jamestown? Yes, Jamestown.
This city is the hometown of the
now disbanded 10,000 Maniacs
and emily's prize.
In 1989, emily's prize began its
metamorphosis from a local band
into a major figure in the alternative
scene which, in the past,
has been controlled by bands such
as 10,000 Maniacs. During the
following three years, Ryan
Fischer, Todd Larson (vocals and
guitars) and Derek Sampson
(drums) entertained local audiences
in their hometown. They
utilized these typical humble
beginnings as a learning experience
to cultivate their own
distinctive sound. A sound akin
and yet differed from the pop
music of the day.
The music behind emily's prize
is a mixture of 1980s college pop
and thought-provoking lyrics.
The result of this combination:
songs which are catchy yet not
cliche'd.
Upon graduation from college,
these three founding members
decided to relocate to Philadelphia
which has been their base of
operations since late 1992. The
move was inspired by two factors.
The first was a desire to perform
before larger and unfamiliar
audiences. The second motive was
Jeffrey Kolff , a friend from college,
who would later assist the band
on vocals and keyboard. Finally,
Brandon Schmidt, an Oberlin
graduate who lived near Kolff,
added his skill on the bass to
emily's prize, thus completing
this new, formidable line-up.
The move to Philadelphia has
proved favorable to emily's prize.
They have been received warmly
by audiences in area clubs like J.C.
Dobbs and 23 East Cabaret, having
been featured as the opening
act for the British band Adorable
during their first visit to the area.
Philadelphia has also become
the home of their first independ-
ently produced album, Gradyville.
It was recorded during the
summer of 1993 at Sigma Sound
Studios and is currently available
on the Sonic Jehovah label. Following
its release in early
November, songs from the album
have received airplay on area
stations like WXPN, WDRE and
WMMR. Presently, emily's prize
is planning college dates throughout
the northeast to support the
release of their new album.
Gradyville transmits a powerful
energy which is said to be remini-

scent of the band's live performances.
In total, the album is about
43 minutes long and features 11
tracks. Unlike many alternative
albums which have a tendency to
sound like one continuous song,
Gradyville makes the most of its
unique style to produce a wide
range of songs with varied sounds
and messages.
Songs like "Our Dysfunctional
Family" utilizes punk to portray
(rather satirically) the cycle of
abuse within a dysfunctional
family and the effects it will have
on its members: "Binge and purge
your daily task, disorder of the
day/But deep inside you know
your fajnily made you act this
way/It's a modem tragedy your
lust for diet pills/Now you have
succumbed to modern ills."
"Madeleine" is a rousing song
with an upbeat melody about the
singer's confusion regarding his
girlfriend. He simply does not
understand why his girlfriend
leaves him and returns after a
short period of time. The track
"With Time" relates the impor-
tance of the present since tomorrow
may never happen: "And all
the years go by/And all the wasted
moments. . TDon't trust the years,
trust in now. .
Local band emily's prize looks to follow in 10,000 IManiac's successful footsteps.
."
One can easily foresee Emily's
Prize becoming a favorite with the
college music scene. Their songs
speak of things college students
face in a musical genre they enjoy.
Do not let the opportunity to enjoy
this new band pass. Gradyville is
an essential album to add to one's
collection. The band will be play-
ing at 23 East Cabaret on Feb. 24.

long
Good
way.
Gerard Depardieu makes the
Steve Minor film, "My Father the
Hero,"
movie.
a fun and entertaining
This light-hearted comedy stars
the internationally acclaimed
actor Depardieu, who plays Andre,
the father of 14-year old Nichole,
played by Katherine Heigl. The
father-daughter duo embark on a
vacation to the Bahamas. It is
there where the typical boy-meetsgirl
story takes over.
Nichole pretends to be older and
more mature to impress Ben
(Dalton James.) The lies thicken
as Nichole, who is embarrassed
about being on vacation with her
father, tells everyone that Andre
is her boyfriend. Eventually,
Andre, wanting to be the "best
daddy of them all," plays along
with her little scam. In the end,
both Andre and Nichole learn
from each other that growing
older does not have to mean
growing apart.
The plot is simple, but Depardieu's
great comic timing is the
difference between a two-star and
a three-star rating. Many lighthearted
comedies try to use action
to entertain the audience. Minor
(also director of TV's "The Wonder
Years") uses witty dialect and
real life emotion to entertain his
audience.
In one very amusing scene,
Nichole asks her father, Andre, to
pretend that he is dying so that
Ben will not be so jealous of Andre.
Andre (Depardieu) does such a
good job moaning and groaning
that the plan almost backfires on
Nichole. In another comical scene,
Andre tells Ben stories of how he
was in the French CIA and battled
the KGB in the French Alps. The
two men sit and talk while Nichole
sits frustrated in the background.
Lauren Hutton plays Megan,
Nichole's mother and the ex-wife
of Andre. It is too bad that Hutton
is only in the movie for the first
15 minutes. But a surprise appearance
by Emma Thompson makes
up for Button's lack of screen
time.
Overall, this enjoyable movie
accomplishes what it sets out to
do: make people laugh. Steve
Minor has done a wonderful job
casting this feel good flick. It is
nice to see that a simple love story
can still be entertaining.
Virtues finds truth in tales
By FITZ SCHWARTZ
Staff Reporter
In
a day where many incorrectly
associate the enjoyment of life
with relaxation, William Ben-
nett's The Book of Virtues offers
a wake-up call. Within the pages
of the book lies a collection of
hundreds of poems, fables, essays
and excerpts that highlight hard
work,
virtue.
high ideals and heroic
Bennett, former education
secretary and drug czar, has
gathered a collection of works that
could be entitled The Norton
Anthology of TraditionalA merican
Moral Stories, drawing from the
Bible, the Greeks and Romans,
fairy tales, American poets and
historical accounts of heros.
Works of, or dealing with, Moses,
Plato, Hercules, Hans Christian
Anderson, Robert Frost, Thomas
Jefferson and Harriet Tubman are
featured, to name a few. The
stories are organized into chapters,
with each one representing
a particular aspect of virtue
(loyalty, work, faith, courage,
etc.).
Bennett, a GOP presidential
aspirant, and a growing number
of other politicians, including
President Clinton, contend that
America's current social woes
have their roots within the American
worker's loss of traditional
morals and work ethic. Bennett
propounds The Book Of Virtue, as
a solution to the immoral and
lackadaisical tendencies of the
typical American, to restore basic
moral standards on which most
of us can agree upon, thereby
ending the ethical free-fall of the
last two decades.
Bennett and his fellow politicians
are correct in asserting that
the worljj ethic in America is
lacking, where many are concentrating
on "getting paid," with no
regard to the quality of their work.
But considering the type of work
readily available to the typical
American worker (i.e., McDonalds
cafeteria employee), it is no wonder
that a lack of interest and
inspiration exists, for these jobs
are often hopeless drudgery.
Another sad fact that throws a
wrench into Bennett's solution
is the reality that the typical
American worker does not read,
but instead obtains his or her
values from the television, which
offers the non-virtuous fare of
gratuitous violence and sex.
Therefore, although The Book
of .Virtues is a solid effort at
tackling an identifiable social ill,
Bennett should have developed
his book into a made for TV movie,
to have any real or lasting effect
upon the typical American
worker.
In any event. The Book of
Virtues offers a comprehensive
collection of the classical western
stories that have woven much of
America's social fabric.
In conclusion, after a reader has
perused The Book of Virtues,
reading particularly appealing
stories, the reader will come to
believe, or become reassured of,
the fact that as English playwright
Noel Coward stated,
"Work is more fun than fun,"
because out of hard, honest work
springs true virtue.

Father soundtrack CD reflects the movie
By ELAINE PAOLONI
Assistant Entertainment Editor
From
the current motion picture
starring Daniel Day-
Lewis and Emma Thompson, a
memorable soundtrack has
evolved. True, it may not be as
popular as the Singles CD yet, but
in its own way. In the Name of
the Father has managed to draw
the attention of many people. As
opposed to the repetitive style
present in Singles, In the Name of
the Father has a greater variety
of music. Ther is a certain quality
present throughout the CD that
exudes a shadow of the 1970s and
reflects the full emotion of the
movie which it accompanies.
The lead song, "In the Name of
the Father," performed by Bono
and Gavin Friday, is unique. It
resembles a type of modern art
that may leave the listener with
the vision of a spinning world —
very nicely introducing the chaotic
state of the film it is supporting.
The underlying beat might make
one think of an elephant hunt or
some type of jungle scene.
Some of the tracks are old
favorites which appropriately fit
the mood trying to be conveyed
at that particular point. The Jimi
Hendrix Experience's "Voodoo
Child" and "Is This Love" performed
by Bob Marley and the
Wallers are prime examples of
this.
In contrast to these classic
tunes are three original scores by
Trevor Jones. They possess a high
degree of feeling and emotion.
Being the typical "soundtrack
melodies," one can just hear these
songs during a flashback type of
scene. They are reflective and
good to listen to if one needs to
seriously think about something.
The use of a flute in these
numbers is quite effective, leaving
the listener with a melancholy
feeling.
"Billy Boola" (Gavin Friday and
Bono), "Dedicated Follower of
Fashion" (The Kinks) and "Whiskey
in the Jar" (Thin Lizzy) are
the uplifting tracks present on
this soundtrack. They provide a
bubbly, fun side to the CD which
gives it balance.
The last track by Sinead O'Con-
nor, "You Made Me the Thief of
Your Heart," is a great way to end
the collection. It is pensive, yet
encouraging. Paralleling the title

song, this song emits a primitive
jungle-like beat. It lets all emotions
finally escape and provides a
s6nse of hope to the listener. A
song full of soul and the evident
culmination of the soundtrack.
Sinead O'Connor closes with a
powerful performance.
For those who have already
seen the movie, this is a great way
to remember the highlights of the
film. And for those who have not

already done so, hearing the
emotion filled songs on the soundtrack
may just provide enough
incentive to witness the true story
behind "In the Name of the
Father."
New Nolte film hardly achieves 'Anything'
By BARBARA COLE
Staff Reporter
One
of the biggest surprise
movies of the year is "I'll Do
Anything." With a cast boasting
the talents of Nick Nolte, Julie
Kavner, Albert Brooks and a
female version of Macauley Cul-
kin, the movie should be a boxoffice
success. But that's where
the surprise comes in.
Nick Nolte, as a struggling actor
recently burdened with his
spoiled, six-year-old daughter,
desperately tries to carry the
sketchy script, but falls short of
the mark. Young Whittni Wright,
on the other hand, does a magnificent
job as the demanding, whining

Shang Tsung WINS!" The sounds
that emanate from the Mortal
Kombat (MK) II machine are
unmistakeable and instantly recognizable
to millions of fans who
have had to readjust their lives
around the game. After the initial
success of Mortal Kombat last
year, Mortal Kombat H offers
many more exciting features to
quench the MK addict's desire for
challenging fun. But be warned;
if the original blew people's heads
off with violence, MK 11 will tear
them into shreds, literally.
One thing that makes MK so
attractive as not only a game, but,
an entire world with plans for
comic books and movies in the
making, is the storyline. Mortal
Kombat is an ancient Shaolin
tournament that pits the world's
greatest fighters against each
other. In the first game, Liu Kang
(the Bruce Lee look-alike) defeated
Ullman and Rosie O'Donnell cannot
salvage this film, neither can
the dimples or pouty expressions
of the adorable Wright.
Director James L. Brooks des-
cribes "I'll Do Anything" as a
romantic comedy. This characterization
however, fails to capture
the bewilderment of the audience
as bizarrely matched couples
engage in equally bizarre relationships.
Likewise the term
"comedy" suggests a cleverly
witty script which certainly is not
achieved.
But pinpointing the major problems
within the film is difficult
because many of the problems
seem to be intentional. For example,
the backdrop of Hollywood
and show business is supposed to
demonstrate how scattered life in
the '90s can be. In his effort to
achieve this impression. Brooks
employs unusual camera angles
and fast-paced scenes, tuning into
the short-attention spans of the
Kombat
Shang Tsung and restored the
corrupted tournament to its
former honorable glory.
In MK n Shang Tsung has returned
to the Outworld (another
plane of existence) to plead for his
master, Shao Kahn, to spare his
life. In return, Shang Tsung has
promised to lure the warriors of
Mortal Kombat into the Outworld
where they can meet their demise
by Shao Kahn's hand. Thus, the
stage is set for 12 warriors to
compete in this new Mortal Kombat
setting.
The returning characters from
the original game are Liu Kang
(who witnesses a massacre of his
Shaolin brethren and has come
seeking retribution), Raiden (a
storm god), Sub-Zero (who still
seeks Shang Tsung's assassination).
Scorpion (who wants Sub-
Zero dead) and Johnny Cage (the
martial arts actor who comes
placing his life in peril, as well as
the script for a new blockbuster
Mortal Kombat movie).
Also competing are the familiar
enemies from the first MK, like
the shape-changing Shang Tsung
himself (Shao Kahn has restored
his youth) and master illusronist
Reptile (who was a hidden character
in the original game). Round-
,
MTV generation. Instead of seeming
inventive, the camera's jumping
around and odd angles leave
the viewer hungry for a plot or,
at the very least, a clue as to what
is going on.
Half way into the confusion, it
becomes apparent that the great-
est flaw of "I'll Do Anything" is
an over-ambitious script which
tries to address everything from
single parenting to racism to
society's infatuation with psy-
choanalysis. None of the topics is
developed fully enough to actually
make a point or convey a concrete
message.
Finally, after 90 minutes of
haphazard plot, "I'll Do Anything"
at long last reveals the main
theme of transformation. The
spoiled brat converts to a lovable
child, her impatient father evolves
into a devoted daddy and Albert
Brooks' egomaniacal character
becomes sensitive. The sloppy
hodge-podge of events results in
ing out the remaining five warriors
are completely new
Kombatants: Shao Kahn's twin
assassin femme-fatales, Mileena
(mistress of the sai) and Kitana
(the fan lady), Baraka (a demonic
fighter with blades for arms),
Jackson Briggs or just Jax (one
muscle-bounded man on a mission
to find the missing Sonya Blade
of MK fame) and Kung Lao (fellow
Shaolin warrior along with Liu
Kang).
The special moves for all these
Kombatants have definitely
improved. But what really makes
MK n interesting is the flexibility
with which any of these moves
can be done. Many of the fighters
have moves that require simply
holding a button and depressing
it. This is the case with Liu
Kang's bicycle kick, Mileena's sai
throw, Jax's ground shaker and
Raiden's shock grasp. Since the
user can do other things while
holding the button down, he or she
has many possible combination
moves. Additionally, many of the
warriors can throw their weapons
in the air, again which makes for
some devastating combos.
Special moves and character
histories aside, the aspect of MK
that puts it ahead of all other
the obligatory pot of mush otherwise
known as "the happy ending."
Amazingly, then comes the
biggest transition of all. This
boring, dragging, confusing movie
becomes likeable.
For all those die-hard romantics
martial arts-type games is the
fatalities — the way an opponent
finishes off the loser. In MK II's
case, all the characters have at
least two or possibly three fatalities
at their disposal. Some of the
more imaginative ones include Jax
clapping his arms together crushing
the opponent's head in the
process, Liu Kang turning into a
dragon and taking a bite out of
the victim's upper torso and
Baraka impaling the loser on his
blades and letting him or her
suffer a slow agonizing death.
. Some MK n games are without
an updated chip. With the updated
chip will come gorier fatalities
that are not available on the
earlier version. Meanwhile, cer-
tain screens have their own fatal-
ities like the pit, wherein opponents
can be knocked off a
platform only to be smacked
against the stone floor hundreds
of feet below, or the spike room,
in which enemies are punched
upward and impaled on blades
from the ceiling above. Also new
kinds of fatalities such as "babal-
ities" (which turn opponents into
babies) and friendship moves
(special kinds of ending scenarios)
arc available with newer versions
of the MK n game. Finally, there
who love a cheesy ending and do
not mind sitting through over an
hour of rambling weirdnesg to eek
out a few tears, "I'll Do Anything"
is a must-see. But for the rest, this
film definitely fits into the "wait
until it's out on video" category.
are the many rumored hidden
characters that require certain
conditions to be fulfilled for
discovery, including Jade and
Smoke.
With all these wonderful
aspects going for MK II, arcades
should be pretty crowded over the
next year or so. The makers of
MK II have outdone themselves,
creating an idea that has actually
transcended the game itself. The
only thing to ponder over is
whether or not to buy the arcade
game machine or to waste the
same amount of money in
quarters.

Manring explores new musical territory
By CAROLYN POPPE
Senior Reporter
What do Primus, Journey, Testament
and a New-Age pianist
have in common? Michael Manring,
innovative bassist and composer,
selected musicians from
each to collaborate on his most
forceful album. His recent release,
Thonk, surprises listeners by
suddenly turning from his typical
jazz genre towards rock. Manring
proves the power of the bass, an
instrument often suppressed in
rock bands.
Having dedicated himself to
New Age on Windham Hill
Records for 10 years, Manring put
out four previous solo albums that
both explored the creative possibilities
of bass harmonics and
added to the lyrical quality of the
record label.
But Windham Hill has
expanded its horizons in recording
the seemingly defiant sound of
Manring's new album. He decided
to go for something more aggres-
sive this time. As he explained in
Bass Player, "I guess I had gotten
king of tired of doing New-Age
music. It felt a bit limiting to do
everything with taste and
restraint."
Along with guitarists Steve
Morse and Alex Skolnick,
drummers Tim "Herb" Alexander
(Primus) and Steve Smith (ex-
Journey member) and pianist
Phillip Aaberg, Manring has
delved into more experimental
musical constructions.
The tracks on Thonk can be
divided into three musical strategies.
Manring offers impressive
solo instrumental, energetic,
heavy rock tracks and tightlyconstructed,
melodic rock tunes
that fall somewhere in between.
Thonk kicks off with his most
energized track on the album,
"Big Fungus." With pushy drumming
and adept, rapid bass in the
style of Living Colour (the Muzz
Skillings years), the tune leaves
no doubt as to Manring's inten-
tions. He works the Zon hyperbass,
an instrument of his own
design, to produce the kind of raw
forcefulness that electric guitar
usually handles in rock.
The same toughness pilots the
tunes "Cruel and Unusual" and
"Disturbed." Here the addition of
Skolnick 's guitar-creating-melody
tends to give the rock an Eric
Johnson feel.
At the opposite extreme, Manring
faithfully provides his wellloved
bass solo style on four
tracks. Most often, Manring
chooses quick, clean solo creations.
On "The Enormous Room,"
he utilizes a slap-and-bend tactic,
as well as harmonics, for a truly
warm track.
But he is at his best when he
tackles three different basses
simultaneously on the solo track
"My Three Moons." Amazingly,
the feat presents a challenge in
rich musical construction for
Manring, not merely an opportun-
ity to show off.
The middle ground on the
album can be classified by strong
melodies and unification among
the varied musicians. The group
soars when bass guitar prevails
and guitar, keyboards (also by
Manring) and percussion fall into
a full, supporting sound. On "You
Offered Only Parabolas," (Manring
takes advantage of the titling
freedom only instrumentalists
know) a singing sort of tone
emerges from bass-oriented
instrumental rock. The song rolls
nicely as bass and guitar integrate
harmoniously.
A similar integration marks the
track "On A Day Of Many
Angels." But here. New Age
pianist Phillip Aaberg joins Manring
in a pretty duo that dominates
the slow track. Again, the con-
trolled, easy drums and keyboards
work only to complement the
melody and add to the unity.
Manring's rock experiment
Thonk generally resembles the
type of rapid, bass-oriented charge
achieved by groups like Primus
and Fishbone. Varying the tracks
Course of Empire turns Its listeners off
By REGGIE BEEHNER
Staff Reporter
Fresh
off the originality bus
comes the latest band that
apparently just can not find the
time to realize that the '80s are
long over. Sure, one look at the
cover's enlarged picture of a
terror-stricken eye sends that "Oh
boy, these guys may be too tough
for me!" message, but once the
utter courage is mustered up to
go on, Course Of Empire makes
it all worthwhile, right? Wrong.
One of the big problems with this
music is that it keeps repeating
the swirling fuzz sounds with
their machine gun drums frankly
becoming so banal that they lose
any sort of impact.
Course Of Empire was formed
in 1988 in Dallas, Texas. The
band makes it a practice to distribute
drums to fans during
performances to create some sort
of "mass drumming" experiment.
As thoroughly goofy as it sounds,
it did help inspire one of the tracks
on their new album "Infested."
bacomaso
#iift^ iiCHfiliiilInn
on iw cHifioyftn^.
One of the dominant features of
the band is the dual percussionists
who lav down the grooves that
and writing in romantic, melodic
and mystic bass pieces, Manring
unknowingly draws attention
away from the overdone rock
genre and towards his innovative
solo work. He leaves listeners
wanting more of that style that
is only Manring,
really give the band its "industrial"
feel. Initiation is the band's
second full album.
Lyrically, the band comes up
snake eyes on their roll as well.
The lyrics deal with themes
rangirig from aiyx:alypse to selfawareness,
but are still ridden
with more cliches than anything
inventive ("Stones you throw in
the stories you've read/ But then
one day you wake up dead. . . ").
The songs become so vague and
unattaching that they borderline
on annoying. There just is not a
whole heck of a lot to like about
this album, in all honesty,
although die hard industrialists
may object. The new musical
generation seems to indicate a
new era in style as well as message,
one in which song writing,
not catchy riffs, is its backbone.
Course of Empire just missed the
boat on this one.
Ponys lead a new musical trend in Oliio
By MARK MC CREARY
Staff Reporter
Aname can say a lot about a
band, or it can say absolutely
nothing. It can make them sink
or swim in society's expectations
and it can impulsively draw or
rebuke a listener. But after
decades of rock and roll, all of the
great names have been taken. It
becomes a matter of being crea-
tive, or using the first garble that
comes to mind. In the case ot the
Ass Ponys, it is unclear which of
the last two scenarios is the case.
The thing which is clear is that
behind the silly name lies a great
band.
The Ponys (which will be their
reference for lack of a more
appropriate one) are a band out
of nowhere. . .well, that is to say
they are a band out of Cincinnati,
Ohio. Cincinnati has recently
been dubbed one of the new
hotspots of music. That claim
comes on the heels of the long
overdue success of the Afghan
Whigs and the release of hometown
heroes, the Ponys. Now
everyone will get a look at what
Cincinnati has known for a long
time.
Since the name of the band
offers few clues as to their type
of music, one must look to the
name of the disc for further divine
intervention. The title, Grim,
leads one to conclude that there
is an element to this disc that may
not float his other boat. But leave
it up to those Midwesterners to
throw in cynical irony and give
listeners music that is far from
Grim.
The 21 second blurb of noise at
the onset of the disc serves only
one purpose which is to mislead
the listener. "Azalea," the first
true song on the disc, is a mellow,
cathartic testimony of lost love by
a fat guy. This endearing ballad
gives the impression of nothing
along the lines of the lyrics,
leaving one amazed that it is sung
with a straight voice. "His legs
they won't support him now/That
he's nearly half a ton/But
remembers very well/A time when
he could run/They ran around her
bed/She chased him around her
bed/Azalea."
The delivery of these fluid lyrics
are juggled by three of the five
members and the range in style
and personality are great. On "No
dope no cigarettes," there is an
REM-esque sound, especially in
the lyrical qualities.
Throughout the 16 tracks, the
stylings never became brash and
never grate on the ears of the
listener. It is simple music, for
people to enjoy for the sake of
listening and to escape the mundane
sound of more accessible
artists. The topics of the songs,
including murder by a ballpeen
hammer, self-mutilation in the
name of a love, evangelistic deception,
the violent son of an unloving
father and murder go by relatively
unnoticed with the music and the
way in which it is delivered.
Actually, chances are that the
lyrics will go completely unno-
ticed, unless the CD sleeve is
perused extensively. The point is
that the foundation of music lies
in the delivery and appeal, since
the listener often misses the gist
of the song. This is not so much
a statement by the band, but
rather the glorification of their
ability to create music which
stands above the lyrics and is still
overwhelmingly appealing to the
listener.
The Ponys are soon due to cut
a single with homies, the Afghan
Whigs. In the meantime, they
have offered the meat of what they
are as a band for you to pour
yourself over. If you have the
daring to listen to a band with a
silly name and a warped subject
matter, then you will surely not
be disappointed. Their nihilistic
attitude may be just the dose of
reality that you have been searching
for and their musical prowess
may be just the massage that your
ears have been requesting.

Heyward strives for deep understanding
By DAVID GREAVES
Staff Reporter
We all
must pass through a
maturing stage in life. It is
a stage in which we search for a
more meaningful, deeper understanding
of the life we lead, the
world we live in and the love we
share in our relationships. Nick
Heyward captures the essence of
this search in his new album
From Monday to Sunday.
Nick Heyward has written the
words and music to this album
from a younger point of view, so
it has a very easygoing, flowing
sound. Nowhere is the theme of
a search for understanding more
apparent than in the first release
off From Monday to Sunday,
entitled "Kite."
He expresses the realization
that life is not always easy in the
lyrics, "Life's like that/ Delicious

truth just promises galore." Later
in the song, he asks his parents
for protection from the hard
reality of life when he sings, "Oh
mother dear/ Don't let them shoot
me out of the sky." In this song,
Heyward expresses the common
anxiety of stepping into a world
on your own in which you must
support yourself.
Other songs like ''January
Man," and "He Doesn't Love You
Like I Do," express feelings of
unrequited love and a search for
a more meaningful relationship.
Nick Heyward approaches this
theme from a refreshingly laid
back point of view instead of a
dark, introspective one. He continues
to present his music
throughout the album in this
easygoing tone. A harsher, darker
tone would have made the album
oppressive and demoralizing.
Instead, Heyward expresses the
search for understanding through
a young, hopeful perspective.
From Monday to Sunday's
expression of hope can be seen in
the song "All I Want You To
Know." It is a song about accepting
the truth and coming to a
better understanding of the real
world. Heyward expresses this
theme in the lyrics "Just grab a
hold of yourself/ You've been
mourning your decline/ Beneath
all that pain will shine another
time."
Throughout this mostly acous-
tic album, Heyward subtly intermingles
an organ, cello and a horn
section to accompany his guitar
playing. The interplay of the
instruments assists in the delivery
of the album's message.
Nick Heyward's new album.
From Monday to Sunday, poignantly
and honestly expresses a
search for a deeper understanding
of the world around us and our
relationships with each other.

Assistant Entertainment Editor
Aquarius: To protect your money to spend on red wine and white
ro«es, change your ATM PIN number from the last four digits of your
phone number to the last four digits of your social security number
Fast.
Pisces: To find out if a friend of the opposite sex wants to be
more than friends go the Body Shop and pick out 25 dollars worth
of massage and body lotions for them. Preferably something with
avocado. See if he or she wants you to participate.
Aries: The fleshy cage of your body is an annoyance and probably
not in peak condition for romance. For lunch go to the natural food
store everyday. Have a raspberry Blue Sky soda and a LaLa's Pocket
(tofu and broccoli are the best).
Taurus: to understand real love, leave all those mix tapes at
home this week and listen to the radio in the car. At a red light you
will find yourself weeping to "You're The One" by Dwight Yokam.
Country 92.5 WXTU.
Gemini: During "Nightline" you will fall from the sofa to your
knees. Your belief in the love of God will be reaffirmed. You will
know that only Her grace can take you away from this land of 27inch
Sony Trinitons.
Cancer: In a bar with a possessive Irish name, you will stare
and stare at the ceiling wondering, "why does love got to be so sad?"
Your head will plop back down and you will look around at all those
red-faced people and know why.
Leo: You are thinking about spring break and romance. Forget
Florida, Mazatlan or home. Go to Belize and wander through the jungles
until you get to the ocean, where you will find real beauty in an
untouched coral reef.
Virgo: The only order in romance is the rhythms of biology and
the steady pounding of MTV. I suggest a Franny and Zooeyian mantra.
Try these lines from great American poet Charles Bukowski: "young
girls painting/ cows and/ trees in heat."
Libra: Competition with friends over dates is going to get out
of hand this week. Put down that cheyenne pepper mace or hydrochloric
acid. Instead try Sega's Robocop Vs. Terminator.
Scorpio: After watching Brandon on "90210" this week, your
weekend focus' will be the release of sexual tensions. Unfortunately,
without a hip prof and a "stang" all you are left to do is beg your
parents for money.
Sa^ttarius: In a dream your whole body will feel cold as your
father bursts into your childhood room where you lie naked with an
attractive pygmy. For a week following this dream you will fear water
coming out of faucets.
Capricorn: While vratching "Seinfeld/* alone, you will realize
that the relationships in your life are all about aelf-parody, pathos
and the celebration of inp'^'Hiuacy.

British acT invades ttieTlA
By COLEEN KENIREY
Senior Reporter
The British band Chapterhouse
will open for The Wonder Stuff
Feb. 27 at the Theatre of the
Living Arts. This tour, which
began Feb. 2 in San Francisco,
marks Chapterhouse's first string
of U.S. performances in two years.
The quartet is currently receiving
strong reviews for Pentamerous
Metamorphosis, a European
import CD that offers a complete
remix of its 1993 album Blood
Music. The video for the first
single, "We Are The Beautiful,"
was featured on MTV's "120
Minutes," giving Chapterhouse
its first heavy exposure to American
audiences.
Although the band had released
three EPs (Free/all, Sunburst and
Pearl) and its first album (Whirlpool),
it is Blood Music and the
subsequent "re-translation"
which have made people listen.
Net Magazine recently proclaimed
Chapterhouse's style, "ambient
music," as the new form set to
eclipse grunge in popularity.
The original "We Are The
Beautiful" is a classic pop concoction
with swirling rhythms and
a steady but unhurried beat. As
in most pop songs, the refrain
becomes a bit repetitive, but this
device is a necessary complement
to the beat.
The first remix of "We Are The
Beautiful," titled "Spooky's Ugly
As Sin Mix," proves that Chapterhouse
is no stranger to experimentation.
The sound of the
revision is light years away from
the Blood Music cut. The mix is
sharp via constant techno throbbing
and during the opening,
electronic pulsations reminiscent
of the Space Invaders video game.
Words have been abandoned in
favor of mood-enhancing dance
beats and haunting human moans
that are prevalent in house music.
Spooky, an underground house
music group, provide a second
reworking of "We Are The Beautiful"
called the "Extravaganja
Dub Mix." This is a more streamlined
take on the Chapterhouse
single with a subdued tone suggested
by the title. It is a psyche-
delic and fresh package. A voice
vaguely resembling that of How-
ard Jones beckons "come on" as
synthesizer pings echo the sound
of Happy Mondays.
"Frost," another song only
available on the bonus disc, resembles
the sound of The Boo Radley
in its mixture of pop vocals with
eclectic guitar work and powerful
drums. "Picnic" takes Chapterhouse
out on an even more daring
musical limb with international
touches. The 15-minute track is
sometimes a monotonous creative
statement, but it unites diverse
instruments for a unique effect.
If Andrew Sheriff (vocals/gui-
tar), Stephen Patman (vocals/
guitar), Simon Rowe (guitar) and
Russell Barrett (bass) strive for a
live performance as creative as
their recorded work, they should
be worth seeing.
Live Performances: Don't
miss The Winebottles appearing
tonight at 23 East Cabaret in
Ardmore. This great band, from
the Philadelphia area but now
Colorado-based, only returns occasionally
to perform. Think of a
combination of The Ocean Blue
and R.E.M. and attend this show.
Houston wins at the AMAs
By ERIC CHEUNG
Entertainment Editor
The
21st Annual American
Music (AMA) awards began
with an energetic performance by
Rod Stewart Feb. 7. Setting the
tone for the entire evening, Rod
Stewart was in fine form with his
voice as gruff as ever. A rendition
of one of his earliest works,
"Maggie May" was followed by
his current single from
Unplugged. . .And
Seated, "Having
a Party." This was precisely what
the AMA's was like, one big party.
Of course, there were the requisite
moments of seriousness and
candor with short comments on
the L.A. earthquake and the red
ribbons worn to remind all attending
of AIDS. But for the most part,
the evening proceeded swiftly and
the night was an exciting one. The
trio of hosts Will Smith, Meatloaf
and Reba McEntire carried the
show pleasantly, though McEntire
seemed to enjoy herself less than
Smith and Meatloaf.
The person who perhaps
deserved to be most ecstatic about
the AMA's was Whitney Houston
who took home an incredible
seven of the eight awards she was
nominated for, including the
Favorite Pop/Rock Single, Album
and Female awards, the Favorite
R&B Single, Album and Female
awards and Favorite Adult Contemporary
Artist, As her current
Bodyguard single suggests, Houston
was the "Queen of the Night."
Every time she went up to
accept her awards (and she was
conveniently seated at the front
row with her husband Bobby
Brown and her baby daughter
Bobbi Kristina) she had a different
reaction. First it was excitement,
then it was just plain happiness,
and towards the end of the show
it was down right hectic as Houston
speed read her kudos and
rushed off the stage to ensure that
the AMA's ended at a reasonable
hour. Throughout it all, Houston
never forgot to give thanks to God
and her family. During the emotional
presentation to Whitney by
Stevie Wonder for the AMA award
of merit, Houston was emotional,
tearfully claiming that without
her loving fans she would not be
here.
The almost unending success of
Houston, who would have found
it easier to have just remained on
stage the eptire time, was hardly
lost by the other winners. After
receiving two awards for Favorite
Rock/Pop Band and Favorite Hard
Rock/Metal Band, members of
Aerosmith quipped that at their
rate they might even catch up to
Houston. Rod Stewart also joked
when he received the International
Artist Award. After hearing
Houston going up to the podium
for the umpteenth time and thanking
her parents. Rod Stewart
joined the band wagon and
thanked Whitney Houston's mom
and dad as well in his acceptance
speech.
The multitude of presenters
and performers proved why the
AMA's are often far more popular
than the stiffer, seemingly more
snobby Grammys. Among some of
the more interesting presenters
were the reunited members of
New Edition, the members of
N.K.O.T.B. (or New Kids On The
Block who still could not avoid a
noticeable amount of booing from
the audience), Xscape singing an
acapella version of their current
chart-topper "Understanding"
and Tony Bennett with one-half
of En Vogue (who took home the
award for Favorite R&B Group).
Artists who performed included
Meatloaf (with an explosive rendition
of "Rock N' Roll Dreams
Come Through"); Snoop Doggy
Dogg sporting a huge Afro (his
mentor, Dr. Dre won awards for
Favorite Rap Artist and New
Artist); chanteuse Toni Braxton
soulfully singing "Another Sad
Love Song" and kneeling before
idol Aaron Neville (she earned
statuettes for Favorite New Artist
Adult Contemporary and R&B);
country/R&B duet between Gladys
Knight and Vince Neil; a
surprisingly low-key Michael
Bolton and his "Said I Love You
But I Lied"; crowd-pleaser Brooks
and Dunn (they lost Favorite
Country Band to perennial winner
Alabama); Sax master Kenny G
(who nabbed Houston's eighth
possible award by winning Favor-
ite Adult' Contemporary Artist)
and solid performers the Gin
Blossoms with their youthful
anthem "Hey Jealousy." Also of
note, was the unveiling of a new
video called "Drive My Car"
performed by the collaborative
efforts of Recording Artists
Against Drunk Driving, which
jolted the audience with appear-
ances by Paul McCartney, Phil
Collins,
Richard.
Ringo Starr and Little
Once again, it was Houston who
gave the performance of the evening.
Proving herself to be "Every
Woman," Houston did a medley
of three songs including a classy
interpretation of a song from
Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess" and
of course her heart-wrenching "I
Have Nothing" from The Bodyguard.
In all, Houston received no
less than three standing ovations
during the entire night, bringing
the audience to their feet with her
talented voice.
Other winners were the
extremely mellowed out Stone
Temple Pilots for Favorite New
Rock/Pop and Hard Rock/Metal
Band, Alan Jackson (Favorite
Country Single and Album), Eric
Clapton (Favorite Rock Male
Artist), Luther Vandross (Favorite
R&B Male Artist), Reba McEntire
(Favorite Female Country) and
Garth Brooks (Favorite Male
Country).
ON THE RADIO:
Mariah Carey follows two charttopping
hits from her Music Box
with two even better offerings.
The passionate "Without You" is
geared towards mainstream
audiences, while the Babyfacepenned
"Never Forget You"
should garner prime radio play on
urban and R&B stations. What is
more likely to happen is that
everyone will be playing both
songs and Carey will end up
competing with herself for No. 1.
"Because of Love" by Janet
Jackson is not nearly as infectious
as previous hits. But just by virtue
of being Janet, this cute ditty
should still have no trouble finding
a home on the airwaves. Toni
Braxton has already reached
Number One in terms of airplay
on R&B stations with her new
single "Seven Whole Days." However,
since no plans have been
made to actually release it as a
single, its success, which will
carry Braxton over to mainstream
stations, can only help her album
sales.
En Vogue and Salt N' Pepa team
up on the single "Whatta Man"
which has become the most highly
rotated video on MTV. New Swedish
group Ace of Base continue
their invasion with the reggaeinfused
"The Sign" which cur-
rently sits in the Top 5 and looks
bound for Number One glory.

'Far Away' shows
world of angels
By WAYNE BREMSER
Assistant Entertainment Editor
German director Wim Wenders'
sequel to "Wings of Desire" is a
tale of angels set in post-wall
Berlin. Wenders' angels watch
over as Germany sways between
embracing the old-ways (see
"Schindler's List") or listening to
angels and seeking a brighter
future.
Otto Sander plays Cassiel, an
angel who grows more curious
about human existence and
human problems. Half of the film
depicts Cassiel 's life as an angel
and gives insight into the private
moments of the humans that he
watches over. These humans
include a mother and her daughter,
a former Nazi chauffeur, Lou
Reed and Mikhail Gorbachev. Cassiel
is frustrated that the humans
cannot hear what he is saying and
feels as though he has no real
influence.
Finally, as a young girl falls to
her death, Cassiel chooses to give
up his life as an angel and inter-
feres with human reality. Cassiel
discovers that human life is not
so wonderful after all and finds
his attempts at doing good futile.
Wenders uses color to offer two
views of human reality, both true
to life. One view depicts the
private self and another shows the
self in relation to others and
community.
THE ARTS
Wenders uses the brilliance of
black and white film to illustrate
the lives of the angels, which are
virtually human, yet removed and
different. The black and white
reality of the angels and the
private self reveals real and clear
symbols. When Cassiel becomes
human, the film shifts from black
and white to color. Unlike "The
Wizard of Oz," where color shows
a magical other-world, color in
"Faraway, So Close" depicts
human reahty as bleak and confusing.
The contrast that Wenders
creates is harsh and moving.
The supporting cast of "Faraway,
So Close" is excellent. Cas-
siel's angel friend, Raphaela, is
played convincingly by Nastassja
Kinski, as is Willem Dafoe's evil
character Emit Flesti ("Time
Itself"), who constantly mocks
and hinders Cassiel's journey into
humanity.
Among the many achievements
of this film, "Faraway, So Close"
gives a view of real life in a time
and place. Just as "Wings of
Desire" shows angels in a divided
1987 Berlin, Wenders paints a
newly united Berlin, which has
unstable roots and an unclear
future. Wenders' message is that
if Germans try to listen to these
angels that are so close, they can
find new rivers to float down
together, rather than return to
mistakes of the past.
. Just as Germany dangles close
to bad things, Wenders explores

the norms of American film, in a
twisty gangster-spy subplot,
which includes Peter Falk (playing
himself). Though Wenders relies
on this subplot only to lampoon
the degrading sexuality and violence
of popular American movies,
it is a diversion from the rest of
the film. This diversion may
bother some viewers, but it seems
to be a reminder of what most
films are Hke.
Wenders shows us that these
angels are all around, as are
people, like Gorbachev and Peter
Falk, who are listening to them.
Wenders offers a certain view on
spirituality in "Faraway, So
Close" which is similar, yet more
hopeful than its predecessor. This
message is riot heavy-handed or
presented in a dogmatic way, but
it is a definite, honest presence in
the film. The film is not only
concerned with angel to human
relations, but also people's relationships
with themselves and
those around them. Gentle respect

for the self and fellow humans,
the angels around us that we can
hear, is what Wenders prescribes.
"Faraway, So Close" is a wonderful
film. It presents the subjects
of angels and life experience in a
manner that is honest and human.
Wenders has artistic talents that
are not often found in film. He is
a true artist in that he delivers
a clear vision; a hope to the world.
This message is not only needed
in Europe, but in the United
States as well.

during fall break, representing the
University to high school and
grade school students across the
country. Recently, the concert
band traveled to Chicago, South.
Carolina and Canada while performing
at various locations along
the way.
The jazz band also travels and
has performed this year at Disney
World in Orlando and in Philadelphia,
said Martin. "Many
members of the jazz band are not
members of the regular band," he
added.
The band practices in the music
room located in St. Mary's Hall.
"The room is small and sometimes
cramped. With membership as
high as 100 musicians in some
years, this room is not large
enough to accommodate all of the
students," Martin said. Also, the
University does not possess a
facility that is large enough to
host concerts. "For all of the
performing arts at Villanova,
there really does not exist a nice
place to perform," he added.
The band is automatically associated
with athletics, said Martin.
"The concert-side of the band is
often times overlooked," he added.
The University's VQI program
stresses improvement in all
aspects of student life, said Martin.
Improvement is needed in the
area of music activities. "Improvement

includes the president, executive
vice president (affectionately
referred to as the "V.P. for fun

fund raising, treasurer and secretary.
Other Band offices include
band managers, music librarians,
drum majors, alumni chairperson
and pep band directors. These
positions are awarded to dedicated
band members who volunteer for
office.
"Socially, the band is a closeknit
organization whose members
are good friends," said Martin. He
adds, although the band is taken

University, its members enjoy

What a difference a month
makes! January's jeers have
turned into February fantasies for
the men's basketball team. After
struggling through January with
a 2-5 mark, barely beating Richmond
and needing a massive rally
to defeat St. John's, Villanova has
exploded in the month of February.
What has the difference been?
Several factors are notable. Let's
look at the numbers game by
game:
St. John's: Shooting. The Wild-
cats shot 10-of-19from three-point
range against the Redmen and
were ll-of-13 from the free throw
line, 23 percent better than their
season average.
Boston College: Shooting and
Bill Curley. The Wildcats shot 49
percent from the field, 52 percent
from behind the three-point arc
and held All-Big East forward Bill
Curley to 10 points and five fouls
in only 20 minutes of action.
Seton Hall: Defense and the free
throw line. Only 30 percent shooting

Kelly and it remained 2-1 as the
Icecats preserved the lead for the
remainder of the game. Kelly
finished with 27 saves in a strong
outing. This snapped Villanova's
four game losing streak and points
them in the right direction for the
ECAC home stretch.
"This wasn't a great game for
us because we played down to
their level," said Kraunelis, "but
it seems as if things are clearing
up and we're really coming together
for the playoff run."

Cats fall to U Mass
rebound to beat URI
By BROOKE FERENCSIK
Staff Reporter
The ECAC playoff race is on,
and for the first time in six years,
the Villanova Icecats find themselves
in the thick of the hunt.
'Nova must win at least five out
of their next six to secure a spot
in the playoffs, and it will not be
a walk in the park (or on the ice
rink for that matter).
Following some tough ECAC
losses, the Villanova Icecats had
the opportunity to play against
Division I opponent Massachusetts
Feb. 4. At a time during the
season when the Cats should have
been licking their wounds and
preparing for the home stretch,
UMass poured salt over the Cats'
wounds in a 13-1 shellacking.
The Minutemen opened up the
scoring with three quick goals and
added one more late in the period
for a lofty 4-0 UMass lead at the
first intermission. That was just
the beginning as the Minutemen
racked up seven more goals in the
second period. 'Nova's only highlight
came in the second period as
forward Jim Ready and defenseman
Bruce Arnold fed senior
forward Tony Lomanto at the top
of the circle for a wrist shot that
smacked nylon to put the score at
11-1 after two periods. UMass
continued to pour it on in the
third, sounding the siren two
more times to close out the game
at 13-1. 'Nova netminder Dan
Nadeau had 33 saves on 45 shots
and goalie Mike Kelly had one
save in the minute he played. The
Cats only mustered 10 shots on
goal which was certainly a large
reason for the blowout.
"It seemed as if they were
always a stride ahead of us. They
were a very solid team and every
one of their players could get the
puck in the net," said freshman
Paul Kraunelis.
In another non-conference
matchup, Villanova took on the
University of Rhode Island Rams.
The Icecats had something to
prove and did so, edging URI 2-
1. 'Nova came out on fire as they
scored the only two goals of the
first period. Ready came down the
left side of the rink and sent a
beautiful centering pass to sophomore
forward Chris Paquette,
who lit the lamps with a goal to
put 'Nova up early 1-0.
Later in the period it was almost
deja-vu as Ready skated down the
left side of the ice once again. With

production out of 7-foot-3 center Constantin Popa.
Jamal Johnson has been their only steady hand.
Considering their record, it has not been that steady.
The Wildcats are fresh off a three game winning
streak, their longest of the year. Villanova will not
need to worry about Miami Arena as a tough place
to play, primarily because no one shows up to the
games. Seton Hall's crowd of 1,256 Tuesday was a
good warmup.

when the Cats downed St. John's
59-56 on Feb. 2. The student
section displayed volumes' worth
of signs and 2,000 insane fans
vying for the opportunity to
appear on the TV screens of cablesubscribers
everywhere.
Fortunately, the Villanova play-
ers shared the enthusiasm of their
fans. Among the most fired-up of
the Wildcats was Eberz, who had
a career-high 21 points, four of
them coming from three-point
land. Eberz, who was not among
the starting five for the first time
this season, proved to be a force
off the bench. After Eberz followed
this performance by scoring 19
against BC, Lappas may feel best
about using him as the Cat's sixth
man.
"I just want to come off the
bench and contribute to the team,"
said Eberz.

Wildcats. The game proceeded at
a snail's pace in its early stages,
with Villanova leading 16-10 at

Tomorrow, they will face the

Curran of BC atop Big East
By ERIC BEGG
Staff Reporter
Continuing the tradition of
Boston College scoring machines
is senior Kerry Curran. Rising
from the shadow of All-World
Sarah Behn, who graduated last
year, Curran is making a name
for herself this season^ She is
leading the Big East in points per
game and, more importantly, she
is guiding the young Eagles to
their best start in years.
There were many changes made
to the Eagles after last season, not
the least of which was the departure
of Behn. More often than not,
the ball found its way into her
hands during the game as she
averaged 25.3 ppg. With the addi-
tion of new coach Cathy Inglese,
though, BC has become more than
a one dimensional team.
"Last year everyone would just
pass the ball to Sarah," said
Curran. "This year, though, we've
all stepped up and started moving
the ball around. Coach Inglese
really stresses team effort, everyone
must step up."
Everyone involved in women's
B-ball knew that Inglese would
have a positive effect on last year's
10-17 Eagles, but felt that the
team would go through a rough
period of transition. This feeling
was reflected in BC's 10th place
preseason ranking. Instead of
feeling down due to their ranking,
the Eagles feel a sense of relief.
"Everyone wrote us off this
year, but when you're an underdog,
you feel no stress," says
Curran. "I was looking forward
to playing this year due to the lack
of pressure."
Looking at Boston College's
roster, it is easy to see what the
pollsters saw in them — nothing.

The team had only one returning
starter in Curran, with a supporting
cast that included no player
who averaged more than four
points a game. What was supposed
to be a dismal season for the
Eagles, has turned into a pleasant
surprise. Not only are they 10-10,
but rookie Holly Porter, a Pre-
Season All-Rookie Selection, is
tearing up the Big East. Porter,
who is averaging 16.4 points and
8.1 rebounds a game, has stepped
up with Curran to help guide the
Eagles back to respectability.
"Holly has been a great sur-
prise," said Curran. "I didn't
think that she would come in and
play this well. I can't say enough
about her; she plays both ends of
the floor really well."
"The philosophy of this team is
very different from last year,"
says Curran. "The coach this year
is more team-oriented. Everyone
has to be ready to play, and for
the most part everyone has."
The difference between last
year and this year for BC is like
night and day. Unlike last year,
the Eagles have the ability to
adjust when the opposing team's
start focusing on their star player.

has permitted them to attain a
record that last season's Eagle

It takes more than scoring
machines to make a decent basketball

Eagle's team can testify. The '92-

points a game last year (second
to last in the Big East), while being
outscored by 8.8 points a game.
Inglese, who led Vermont to a

two years, has the Eagles playing
better on both ends of the court.

CONNECTICUT
(19-2, 9-1 in the Big East)
The Huskies lost a conference
game for the first time this season
in a high-scoring affair to
nationally-ranked Syracuse, 108-
95. They bounced back later in the
week with a 73-57 victory over
lowly Miami. Head Coach Jim
Calhoun returned to duty after
being hospitalized for two games
with pneumonia. He witnessed
junior sensation Donyell Marshall
score 20 or more points for the
19th consecutive game. Marshall
continues to lead the conference
in scoring with 27 points per game
and is ranked in the top five in
field goal percentage, rebounding
and blocked shots. UConn is off
to the best start for a Big East
team since Syracuse went 13-1 to
begin the 1985-86 season. After
being overlooked in all the major
preseason polls, the Huskies are
currently ranked No. 6 in the
nation.
SYRACUSE
(15-3, 8-3 in the Big East)
The Orangemen have won three
straight games, including an
impressive 13 point victory over
top-ranked Connecticut. Syracuse
has now taken sole possession of
second place in the Big East.
Senior point guard Adrian Autry
was recognized as Big East Player
of the Week for his contributions.
Autry dished out a career high 12
assists versus UConn and added
19 points. Syracuse's 80-77 victory
over Pittsburgh included another
stellar performance from the
senior as he totaled 26 points, nine
rebounds and five assists. Sophomore
forward John Wallace scored
48 points and grabbed 19 rebounds
in the two games while freshman
Otis Hill contributed 21 points
and 16 rebounds. Syracuse is
currently ranked No. 14 in the
nation.
BOSTON COLLEGE
(16-6, 7-4 in the Big East)
After defeating Georgetown 71-
64, the Eagles slid into a tie for
third-place with a 92-86 overtime
loss to Villanova. Sophomore
Howard Eisley shined for B.C.
this past week, scoring 42 points.
He shot 15 of 23 for the week,
including an amazing eight of 11
from three-point range. Eisley is
'
averaging nearly 18 points per
game this season. He currently
leads the conference in three-point
shooting (53 percent) and free
throw shooting (92 percent). As
compared to his freshman season,
Eisley has raised his field goal
shooting from 36 to 50 percent and
his three-point shooting from 35
to 53 percent.
PITTSBURGH
(13-6, 7-4 in the Big East)
The Panthers dropped a threepoint
decision to Syracuse that
dropped them into a tie for third
place in conference play. In the
game, five Pittsburgh players
scored in double-digits. Earlier in
the week, Pitt beat the woeful
Miami Hurricanes 80-71 in a game
that was surprisingly competitive.
Senior Eric Mobley leads the
league in blocked shots and is
currently ranked 12th on the alltime
Big East list. Junior Jerry
McCullough has performed bril-
liantly, ranking second in the
conference in both assists and
steals. The Panthers have
struggled this season with
rebounding, ranking dead last in
rebounding margin.
GEORGETOWN
(12-6, 6-4 in the Big East)
After losing by seven to Boston
College, the Hoyas rebounded
with a resounding 71-51 defeat of
Seton Hall. Sophomore Othella
Harrington broke out of his season
long slump with 34 points and 22
rebounds in the two games. It is
the first time this season that
Harrington has put together consecutive
double-doubles. The
sophomore center also recorded a
career-high six blocks against the
Pirates. Senior Joey Brown's
seven assists versus the Hall
places him sixth on the all-time
Big East list with 313, four less
than Pearl Washington.
PROVIDENCE
(11-7, 4-6 in the Big East)
The Friars lost two close road
games and dropped into a sixthplace
tie with Villanova. After
losing by one point in overtime to
Seton Hall, Providence's bad luck
continued with a 73-69 loss to St.
John's. Against the Redmen,
senior Michael Smith continued
his consistent play by shooting
eight of nine from the floor and
eight of eight from the line. His
play upped his league-leading field
;»yv;t^.-
goal percentage to 58 percent and
continues to dominate opposing
centers, hauling down an average
of 14 rebounds per game. Sophomore
Michael Brown was the only
other Friar to score in double-
digits.
SETON HALL
(11-8, 4-7 in the Big East)
After pulling off an exciting 64-
63 overtime victory against Providence,
the Pirates were trounced
by Georgetown on national television,
71-51. Senior Bryan Caver
missed the later game because he
was serving a suspension for
skipping classes. Junior Dwight
Brown reinjured his knee during
warmups and was limited to only
nine minutes of playing time. On
a positive note, junior Danny
Hurley has returned to practice.
It is unclear when he will be back
in uniform. Sophomore Adrian
Griffin tied a career high 18 points
against the Hoyas and pulled
down 11 rebounds. He has had
three double-doubles in the past
five games.
ST. JOHN'S
(9-10, 3-7 in the Big East)
After losing three straight,
including a three point loss to
Villanova, the Redmen edged out
Providence in a 73-69 victory.
Senior Shawnelle Scott and sophomore
Charles Minlend combined
for 36 points and 14 rebounds
against the Friars. St. John's shot
28 of 55 from the floor (51 percent).
It was only the second time this
season that the Redmen shot over
50 percent in a conference game.
MIAMI
Women's Big East Basketball week In review
By ERIC BEGG
Staff Reporter
CONNECTICUT
(18-2, 11-1 in the Big East)
Last week the Huskies faced
one of the toughest parts of their
schedule with games against No.
18 Seton Hall, Pittsburgh and
Georgetown. The big game of the
week was obviously the Seton
Hall game. The Pirates defeated
the Huskies earlier in the year by
a resounding 19 points. A victory
this past week against UConn
would probably have given them
the Big East regular season cham-
pionship. Rebecca Lobo decided it
was pay-back time and handed the
Pirates an 11 point loss, 76-65.
Before this game the Huskies
defeated the Panthers and the
Hoyas. Again, Lobo was instrumental
in both games as she
poured in 24 points against
G'Town, including the game winning
free throws. She scored 21
points against Pitt. In those two
games Lobo recorded 32 rebounds,
including 20 against the Hoyas.
Last week UConn served warning
that the Big East had better take
heed. The Huskies are beginning
to roll.
SETON HALL
(17-3, 10-2 in the Big East)
Seton Hall's 10-game winning
streak was snapped with the loss
to the Huskies last Sunday. Seton
Hall, as the No. 2 team in the Big
East, must avoid any tragic losses
to keep that distinction. As with
the Huskies, there were games to
be played before the title bout. In
a warmup for the big game, the
Hall crushed St. John's by 28
points. The victory was the 10th
in a row for the Pirates and Head
Coach Phyllis Mangins, marking
their best start ever in Big East
play. Senior guard Jodi Brooks,
who had 17 points in the UConn
game, had 25 points against St.
John's, including 15 in the second
half in sealing the win. The loss
to the Huskies means that the
Pirates must win all their games
and hope someone defeats the
Huskies if they want a share of
the regular season championship.
PITTSBURGH
(16-4, 10-2 in the Big East)
The Panthers were 2-1 last
week, but dug themselves into a
hole which they will not get out
of with their loss to the Huskies.
The 80-63 loss to UConn means
Pitt must hope for a miracle or
wait for the tournament to get a
shot at the Big East title. Pitt did
win two games last week to
improve their record to 16-4. The
two 6 point victories came against
Miami and Syracuse. In the Miami
game senior forward Jonna Huemrich
netted 24 points and pulled
down nine boards in the 59-53
victory. Pitt defeated Syracuse 61-
55. Because the game was played
at a late hour, only the score could
be reported.
PROVIDENCE
(10-9, 8-4 in the Big East)
The Lady Friars had it very
easy last week, playing two games
against teams with a combined 7-
33 record. The only two teams
that could fit that description are
St. John's and Syracuse. Providence's
victory against Syracuse
was lackluster, which may be
explained by the fact that the
Friars were looking forward to
their game this week against No.
2 Tennessee. This may help
explain why rookie guard Mandy
Saunders had to nail three of four
free throws to seal the 60-56
victory versus the Orangewomen.
Regardless, the victory coupled
with a 86-70 defeat of St. John's,
solidifies the Lady Friars' position
as the No. 4 team in the Big East.
BOSTON COLLEGE
(10-10, 6-6 in the Big East)
Boston College split its games
last week with a 64-53 win here
at Villanova and a 78-72 overtime
loss at Georgetown. The split
maintains the Eagles' .500 record
and leaves them within striking
distance of Providence. Holly
Porter was the story this week as
she averaged 21 points and 11.5
rebounds a game on her way to
her fourth Big East Rookie of the
Week award. Kerry Curran, contained
by Villanova, scored 31 in
the Georgetown loss.
MIAMI
(8-10, 5-7 in the Big East)
Miami ended its five game
losing streak with a 64-60 win
versus our Lady Cats. The five
game losing streak was Miami's
longest since the '87-'88 season.
Before the win versus the Cats,
Miami was defeated by Pittsburgh
59-53, despite leading by six points
at the half. Desma Thomas, Mia-
mi's leading shooter, scored 15 in
the loss, while ripping down nine
rebounds. The chief problem with
the 'Canes this year is their
inability to score points. Miami is
shooting. under 35 percent from
the field and averaging less than
63 points a game in conference
games. These figures are, respec-
tively, last and second to last in
the Big East.
GEORGETOWN
(10-10, 4-8 in the Big East)
Despite splitting their games
last week, the Hoyas came away
looking like the team that made
Its way to the semifinals of last
year's NCAA tournament.
G Town, which had lost to the
Huskies by 41 points earlier in the
year, gave the Huskies their
biggest scare of the season by
(7-11, 0-10 in the Big East)
Following a competitive showing
against Pittsburgh in which
they lost by nine, the Hurricanes
returned to old form with a 73-
57 loss to Connecticut. Their
agonizing season continues as
they remain winless in the Big
East. Freshman Alex Eraser was
the lone bright spot for Miami as
he scored 12 points and tallied 11
rebounds against UConn. The
Hurricanes rank last in field goal
shooting, three-point shooting,
free throw shooting, and lose their
Big East games by an average of
22 points.
taking them to the final seconds
of overtime before succumbing.
Tricia Penderghast scored 27
points, while Nadira Ricks added
15 in the loss. Georgetown then
took its act on the road to Boston
College. The Hoyas came away
with a six point overtime victory
despite being down by as much
as 12 points. Ricks lead the charge
as she scored 26 points.
ST. JOHN'S
(5-15. 2-10 in the Big East)
Oh, the agony of defeat! The
mighty Express took their much
feared one-game winning streak
into uncharted New Jersey to
teach Seton Hall a lesson. The
Pirates destroyed the Express 78-
50 as St. John's was outscored by
23 points in the second half. The
disheartening manner of the
Express' loss carried through to
their next game against the Friars,
which they lost 86-70.
SYRACUSE
(2-18, 0-12 in the Big East)
The time is right for the Orangewomen
to be compared with the
story of Sisyphus, an ancient
Greek legend of a greedy king who
is condemned to an eternity of
pushing a boulder up a hill only
to have it roll back down as he
reaches the top. He continues to
roll it up the hill, despite the
action's futility, for some existen-
tial reason.

(Continuedfrom page 36)
defensive end," said Lappas,
"there's no use worrying about
offense because you're a player
and that is what's going to come
natural. It's what you've been
doing your whole life, but you
haven't been playing defense your
whole life."
Certainly the fact that the Cats
were playing on national television
and in front of a capacity
crowd helped spark a fire against
the Redmen, but 'Nova's intensity
against the Eagles was purely
heart. Villanova played tremendously
on both sides of the ball
throughout play and the five
minutes of overtime.
"I would have preferred to have
that BC game on TV because the
BC game is more the way we want
to play," said Lappas, "that type
of brand of basketball when we
can really be explosive."
Much has been said in the past
about the lack of crowd support
in the past at Villanova games. As
far as Lappas is concerned, the
crowd support was particularly
inspiring in the last few games.
Our goal right now is
just to talce tliem one
game at a time. We
liaye a young team. Our
goal is to win as many
games as we can.
Hopefully at the end of
the year that develops
into a post-season bid.
Head Coach Steve Lappas
"It could not have been better
all year," said Lappas. "Even
against Pitt we played lousy and
the crowd support was still great.
The crowd has been great and the
students have been super. That's
never been a complaint of mine
from day one. I think it's been
great from the beginning."
It has gotten to the point when
everyone just assumes Kerry
Kittles is going to be among the
leading scorers every game night.
The inconsistencies of this team
come from the rest of the team.
Eric Eberz started every game of
the season but was not a big
enough factor night after night to
hold on to his staring role. Eberz
did not start against St. John's or
Boston College but wound up
being 'Nova's second-leading scorer.
Against Seton Hall the sophomore
forward did not land his first
field goal until the closing minutes
of the game.
"Right now I'm not messing
with Eberz," said Lappas. "He can
come off the bench now and see
where it takes us to. He doesn't
care. He's played the most minutes
he's played all year in the last two
games [SJU and BC] coming off
the bench."
If you were not one of the
believers in Jason Lawson before,
you'd better be after his performance
against the Eagles. He
tallied 17 points, 13 rebounds, and
seven blocked shots. Lawson also
managed to survive the overtime
battle without fouling out. All of
this was done against one of the
nation's more commanding frontcourts.
"That tells you something
about Jason [Lawson]," said Lap-
pas. "That is maybe the best
center he's going to play against
this year and he has played two
very good games against him. I'm
not surprised about the game
Jason had the other day. Now he
needs to get more consistent."
The Miami game on Feb. 12 is
the type of game that Villanova
should win. Then again, it is a
road game in which the Wildcats
can easily be upset. While the
atmosphere in the basketball
offices these days is optimistic,
there is still a sense of caution as
they attempt to make a run in the
league.
"Our goal right now is just to
take them one game at a time,"
said Lappas. "We have a young
team. Our goal is to win as many
games as we can. Hopefully at the
end of the year that develops into
a post-season bid."

Cats win distance medley
By MARK SPOONAUER
Assistant Sports Editor
Althoughh the men's track and
field team saw little action last
weekend, the Cats' Distance Med-
ley team compensated with a
strong performance at the Mobil
One Invitational. Also, Louie
Quintana took third place in the
renowned Wanamaker Mile last
Friday night at Madison Square
Garden.
In one of the featured events of
the 87th Annual Millrose Games,
the Wanamaker Mile, Stanley
Redwine paced the field through
the first 1200m and former Villanovan
Marcus O'Sullivan ran a
close second. Quintana, who
stayed in the back of the lead pack
until the 1200 meter mark, moved
to the outside and into third place
behind O'Sullivan and first place
finisher Niall Bruton of Arkansas.
Holding on to third place, Quintana
achieved another Automatic
Qualifying mark of 4:00.52, his
second 4:00 mile of the weekend.
Representing 'Nova in the IC4A
Collegiate Mile Friday night was
Mike Going. In what was a rel-
atively slow race. Going took the
lead with just over 400 meters to
go. However, he was passed with
a lap and a half to go and then
finished fifth in 4:10.19.
On Sunday, the team traveled
to the Mobil One Invitational at
George Mason University in Fair-
fax, VA, and won the Distance
Medley Relay. Villanova's overall
time of 9:39.09 was good enough
to ward off Penn State's second
place 9:39.81 effort and to earn the
Cats an NCAA Provisional Qual-
ifying standard. 'Nova ran just
short of the Automatic standard
of 9:38.00.
The 800 leg went out
conservatively but we
ran great as a team. I
knew we would. We
always get it together in
a relay.
Louie Quintana
Leading off with a 1:53.9 800
meter leg was junior Kyle Watson.
Chuck Silvester turned in a 47.4
split in the 400 meter leg before
handing off to Ken Nason for the
1200 meter portion. Only 2:56.9
later Quintana received the baton
and anchored the 1600 leg
4:00.9 for the Cats' victory.
"The 800 leg went out conser
m
vatively," Quintana said, "but we
ran great as a team. I knew we
would. We always get it together
in a relay. When we get the baton,
we're always running for each
other."
Instead of competing in the
Cyclone Invitational this weekend
at Iowa State as originally scheduled,
the team will compete
today at the 168th Street Armory
in New York against St. John's
and Manhattan. Head Coach Marty
Stern noted that he will probably
rest Quintana and Going for
the Big East Championships next
Saturday and Sunday.
In today's meet, 'Nova's Dave
Cook and Steve Blais, the number
one and two respective decathletes
in the Big East, will compete in
the high hurdles. Freshman J.R.
Mcllwain and Silvester will run
in the 400 meter while Nason,
Watson and Kevin Christiani will
try to take the 800 meter run.
"This meet will serve as a good
workout for us," said Coach
Stern. "We are prepping for the
Big East."
The Big East Conference Championships
will be held at Syracuse
University Feb. 19-20.
Spies, Rliines, and Molloy lead women at iVIillrose
By PETE McDONOUGH
Staff Reporter
Last Friday night at Madison
Square Garden in New York City,
the Villanova women set out to
defend their unbeaten streak in
the women's collegiate mile at
The Millrose Games. Sunday
afternoon, Feb. 6, the Wildcats
traveled to the Mobil One Invitational
at George Mason University
in Fairfax, VA, with one goal.
They hoped to qualify for the
NCAA's in the distance medley
relay. The 'Nova women accomp-
lished both feats in high fashion.
The Millrose Games has been
one of the most competitive indoor
track meets in the world throughout
its 87 year history. When the
Millrose games first instituted a
two mile relay for women, not too
many years ago, Villanova won
with ease every time. What happened
was that people started to
get bored watching Villanova win
every year, so a women's collegiate
mile was introduced at the games.
Since the mile race was instituted,
Villanova has won it every time.
With this streak on the line.
Stern sent out his top three
milers, junior Becky Spies, sophomore
Jen Rhines and senior Emer
Molloy. Also running in the same
race was a heavily favored Vicki
Lynch from Alabama, who finished
second last year in the
NCAA mile. The three 'Nova
harriers knew that winning this
race would be no easy task, but
when the race was over, Spies
crossed the finish line first in a
time of 4:42.30. Rhines came in
third with a time of 4:48.30, and
Molloy checked in at fifth place
with a time of 5:51.58. Rhines'
time was not only good for third
place, but also a Provisional
NCAA Qualifying time, and a
personal best.
The Mobil One Invitational is
another one of the more prestigious
meets during the winter
season, which witnesses world
class competitors as well as college
athletes. The 'Nova women proved
that they are also among the
world's best, especially in the
distance medley relay. Running in
the race were Molloy, who started
off with the 800 meter leg, sophomore
Cathalina Staye, who ran
the 400 meter leg, junior Tosha
Woodward in the 1200 meter leg,
and Spies, who anchored the team
running the 1600 meter leg. Des-
pite never running a distance of
more than 800 meters competitively
on the track, Woodward ran
one of the fastest times ever
indoors for the 1200 meter event.
Villanova already holds the world
record in this event and this year's
team was not looking to break it,
just to qualify. And qualify they
We ran at the MUrose
Games and we showed
them that we're good,
so we want to go to
Mew York to show that
we have a whole team.
Marty Stern
did, beating the NCAA Automatic
Qualifying time by about seven
seconds with a time of 11:13.22.
Their time did not come close to
the world record of 10:54.34, but
it was the fastest time in the world
this season so a national title in
this event may not be too difficult
to come by.
Head Coach Marty Stem is still
very optimistic about the rest of
the season and the team's chances
of gaining a national title. According
to Stern, the absence of Carole
Zajac this season mathematically
reduces the team's chances at a
title.
"The team members and me,"
said Stern, "we feel that we have
a chance to win the NCAA's."
Stern believes that the method
for teams in the National Championships
should be more teamoriented.
"We hope that the methods to
get into the NCAA's in track will
be like other sports where you get
in by head-to-head competition
and
said.
regional qualifying," Stern
He thinks that with a method
like this, the meets will not have
to be spread out across the
country.
"You [the teaml have to go
around the country to qualify and
find real fas* cracks to run real
fast times," Stern added.
Stern's remarks considering
change in the system correlate
with his decision to withdraw
from a meet scheduled for this
weekend in Iowa. The team will
now compete today at the 168th
Street Armory in New York City
against St. John's and Manhattan.
Stern understands that by running
in a smaller, more localized
meet, the team can concentrate
more on a team victory rather
than individual qualifying times.
"We ran at the Millrose Games
and we showed them that we're
good, so we want to go to New
York, to show that we have a
whole team," said Stern. The
team is trying to make a statement
to the track world."
In regard to a possible change
m the format for the NCAA's in
which victories will be stressed
more than times, Stern thinks
that both he and the team will be
better off.
"I don't like running for time,"
he said. "I like running to win."

Cats extend streak to three games
Courtside with Head
Coach Steve Lappas
By SEAN KELLY
Sports Editor
Villanova reached a crucial
point in the season Feb. 2 that was
either going to turn this team in
the right direction or send them
plummeting to the bottom of the
Big East. ESPN and legendary
broadcaster Bill Raftery were
even on hand as the Wildcats
matched up for the second time
against St. John's. This was a
must-win in the sense that 'Nova
had dropped the last four games
and really could not afford to lose
to a team which had already
proven to be beatable.
The win over the Redmen
proved to be even more important,
however, when the Cats met up
with nationally ranked Boston
College. Momentum was something
Villanova was lacking the
last time they faced the Eagles and
it is a factor that certainly helped
Head Coach Steve Lappas and his
squad that night. With wins over
three conference rivals in the last
two weeks, including Tuesday
night's victory over the Seton Hall
Pirates, the Wildcats can now be
more hopeful for a campaign that
lasts longer than tlie regular
season alone.
"We're anxious going into every
game," said Lappas. "We have the
kind of team, I think, that's
capable of winning any game. We
also have the kind of team, right
now, that is capable of losing a
game. So every game for us is a
new day and we're anxious all the
time."
There is no question that the
defense has been the crucial factor
in 'Nova's play in the last three
games. Defense is something that
has been stressed more and more
recently in practice and it shows.
"I thought there was a significant
difference in both games,"
said Lappas. "I think that was the

key to both wins [St. John's and
Boston College]. Though we
played great offensively, especially
in the BC game, I think the key
in both games was our defensive
intensity."
The intensity of the defense
certainly gave 'Nova the edge as
far as loose balls and breaking
down the opposition's offense.
Outstanding man-to-man play
more than likely helped the Wildcats'
offense as well. It got to the
point where Lappas' squad was so
concerned about good defense that
they did not have to worry if they
missed their own shots.

'Nova women drop two at home
By TODD LESKANIC
Sports Editor
The Villanova women's basketball
team continued to disprove
the theory of home court advantage
this past week. After winning
two key Big East games on its
opponents' floor, 'Nova returned
to duPont for two more conference
games against Boston College and
Miami.
The Eagles entered duPont
Pavilion with a record of 9-9, 5-
5 in the Big East for their game
Feb. 1. 'Nova came in with a
record of 10-8, 4-6. The Cats knew
they had to contain BC stand-out
Kerry Curran who led all Big East
scorers with a 22.2 point average.
In the first half, however, the
Villanova women discovered
another Eagle named Holly Porter.
Also among the Big East leaders
in scoring with 15.6 ppg, this
freshman tore up the 'Nova
defense in the first half for 16
points. Despite this performance
by Porter, the Cats played their
type of game throughout the first
half.
The Eagles jumped out to a 19-
11 lead at the 12:57 mark on a
Porter rebound and lay-in. Villanova
then went on an 8-0 run that
was capped off when Lisa Baglio
drew a charge call and knocked
down a pair of free-throws. The
Eagles quickly regained the lead
and stretched it to five, 24-19, on
a Porter three-pointer with just
2:45 to go in the first half. Michele
Thornton then hit a three of her
own and nailed a 20 foot jumper
the next time down the court to
put 'Nova up by one with under
a minute to play in the half. Stacie
Keffer drew a foul with 10 seconds
to go and hit both free throws to
give the Cats a 27-24 half time
lead.
The leading scorer for Villanova
in the first half was Thornton
with 11. Despite shooting just
nine of 33 from the field in the
first half, the women played
steady defense and' converted on
all seven free throw opportunities.
In the second half, the Cats
were able to contain Porter better,
only to have Curran break loose
for a big half. After just a four
point first half, she turned her
game up a notch to finish with
21, leaving 'Nova with a headache.
The Cats were able to hold the
lead until the 13:12 mark, at
which time Curran made a jumper
from 12 feet out. Area native
Joanie Gallagher then nailed a
three pointer to give the Eagles
the lead for good. Hoops by Porter
and Michele Verotsky would give
the Eagles a solid eight point lead
upon which to cruise to the 64-
53 victory.
Poor shooting (27.9 percent)
kept 'Nova from getting any closer
than five points for the rest of the
game. Thornton finished with 18
points, six rebounds and four
assists to lead 'Nova. Denise
Dillon finished with 11 points and
10 rebounds.
"I would love to be able to say
we stunk," said Head Coach
Harry Perretta, "but it was just
another game where we didn't
" score 60 points on our home
court."
"I don't know what else to say,"
he said. "Our defense was good,
but we just couldn't score."
The loss dropped the Cats to 10-
9, 4-7 going into their game against
Miami (7-12, 4-7) Feb. 6. Despite
its record, Miami came ready to
play and stormed out to an early
10-2 lead against the Cats. 'Nova
would cut that lead to 10-8 on two
free throws by Thornton, a Dillon
jumper, a Jen Maga bank shot and
another Thornton score off a Sue
Glenning steal. The 'Canes would
build the lead back to six before
the Cats would go on a 6-0 run
to tie the game at 16. The points
came on a Jen Snell jumper, a Beth
Anne Bradshaw layup and a
Keffer jumper. Miami would
reclaim the lead on a Sheron
Murray three pointer. They held
the lead for the rest of the half,

Kittles, Eberz, Haynes and Lawson
star in 'Nova's three icey wins
By ALEX SCOFIELD
Associate Editor
Something happened on the
night that the ESPN vans rolled
onto campus. With the eyes of the
nation's hoops fanatics tuned in,
the Wildcats exhibited prime-time
play in their win over St. John's.
For one night, 'Nova arose from
the ashes of a season that seemed
to be deteriorating with each new
game. But once broadcaster Bill
Raftery and friends had left the
Main Line, the Cats continued to
play their best ball of the season.
A 92-86 conquest of Boston College
followed by a 65-60 win at Seton
Hall raised 'Nova's record to 9-9
(5-6 Big East).
'Nova's road win against Seton
Hall was the least impressive of
the three victories, as both teams
were plagued by lackluster play
throughout most of the game. The
Cats, however, found saving graces
in their play during crunchtime,
especially that of junior
guard Jonathan Haynes. In the
later stretches of the game Haynes
was on fire, nailing all four of his
three-point attempts en route to
a career-high 22-point performance.
"Jonathan really stepped up to
the plate tonight for us," said
Head Coach Steve Lappas at
game's end.
It was Haynes who put the Cats
ahead for good when he defied the
expiring time clock with a jump
shot that made the score 48-46. By
converting on a pair of free throws
and nailing a three-pointer,
Haynes scored five of 'Nova's next
seven points, giving his teammates
a 55-46 advantage.
Although the Pirates tried to
wrest the lead back, their fouland-press
routine was not enough
to overcome this deficit, as Villanova
seemed to find its foul shooting
touch for this contest. The
Cats' 22-for-28 (.786) performance
at the line was an encouraging
improvement over its .610 season
percentage going into the game.
Villanova was led in scoring by
sophomore Kerry Kittles, who
was good for 25 points against the
