The Spring blood drive at Drexel will be held this coming Wednesday and Thursday, July 27th and 28th, in the Grand Hall of Creese Student Center and is scheduled to run from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. both days.

The Red Cross is especially emphasizing the fact that donating blood is completely safe and that it is impossible to get AIDS by giving blood. The Red Cross uses completely sterile materials which are thrown away after each use, leaving no chance for infection.

The blood collected will be used to meet the needs of local hospitals. To comply with these needs, the Red Cross must collect 1,500 pints each day to keep up with the demand. The Drexel community has given approximately 1,200 pints annually in the past. The event’s organizers

say that vigorous support from the entire campus will be required to reach past donation levels.

According to the Red Cross, giving blood jx-ovides the opportunity to save someone’s life and almost anyone can become a life saver just by stopping by the blood drive on one of the two days. The actual process of giving takes only

eight to ten minutes. When added to the registration necessary beforehand and the fifteen minutes of rest time afterwards, the total tome required to donate is 40 to 45 minutes, the time period of one class.

The requirements for giving blood are: the donor must be

‘There are a number of things that student organizations can’t get done without continuity and leadership,” said Creese Student Center Director Tom Cassada, “either because they don’t have time to organize or they need help with organizing.”

Organizations may be getting that help beginning this fall from the University’s student activities director, a new position created to “develop the concept of a student activities board,” something that has been lacking at Drexel in tlie past, according to Cassada.

Last May, a search committee composed of Dean of Greek Life Ron Kibbe, Dean of Freshmen Mark Blaweiss, Special Programs Counselor Ccmnie Hatchett, and a student representative met to evalu

ate over 25 resumes submitted in response to an advertisement in the Chronicle of Higher Education.

The resumes, according to members of the search committee, reflected a a diverse applicant pool in which a broad range of backgrounds, both academic and work- related, were represented. At least one of the plicants was already a Drexel employee.

Last week, the search committee decided unanimously that Gale Yamauchi, a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, was the best person for the job. Cassada, who will be Yamauchi ’ s immediate superviscxr, agreed.

“There’s no question in our mind that she can do” what is necessary for the job, he said.

According to members of the search committee, although the position of student activities direc

tor encompasses many duties, Yamauchi’s primary responsibility, at least for the first year, will be helping to rejuvenate the University’s beleaguered Student Programing Association. '

“(The position) will have to be supportive of SPA,” Cassada said, adding that the student center will soon organize a Programing Board to aid student organizations, particularly SPA, in budgeting, planning and recruitment

“It’s not intended to take over anybody,” he said.

Yamauchi holds a masters degree in communication and a bachelors in business administration from the University of Nebraska. To take the position at Drexel, she is leaving a job as graduate assistant in the Campus Activities office of the University of Wisconsin.

Plans by national po licymakers to cut financial aid to students caught with drugs have spurred debate at all levels of government, leading the proposals to be called “unfair and unworkable,” by various*"observers from across the country.

Bills introduced this month by Rep. Jack Brooks (D-Tx.) and Rep. E. Thomas Coleman (R-Mo.) are “absolutely insane,” said Mary Preston of the U.S. Student Association (USSA), a Washington, D .C .-b a ^ group representing student governments around the country.

Brooks’ bill would deny fed

eral funds to institutions that do not have “drug-free environments,” while Coleman’s bill would, if passed, deny a Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) to anyone with two drug-related convictions.

Twenty percent of the nation’s undergraduates took out GSLs last year; aU would be subject to Coleman’s bill.

At four different June forums, national policymakers proposed cutting campuses where students have drug problems off from financial aid. The latest proposal, from the White House Conference for a Drug-Free America, recommends legislation linking federal money to colleges’ anti-drug programs.

“Federal grant money to col

leges and universities and for student loans should be contingent upon the institution’s having and enforcing ‘no use’ drug and alcohol policies,” the 127-member, con- gressionally mandated panel said in its report to President Ronald Reagan.

Earlier in June, nine Republican senators led by Texas Senator Phil Gramm also proposed restricting federal funding to colleges that do not create “zero drug tolerance programs.”

Zero tolerance policies punish any and all drug possession or use, regardless of type or degree. Their proposal would ’oar students convicted of drug abuse from receiving student aid.

“The chemical engineering profession is a dynamic one,” said Dr. Charles Weinberger, associate professor of chemical engineering, who has replaced Dr. • Donald Coughanowr as head of the University’s chemical engineering department.

“At Drexel, we intend to remain in the forefront of change by finding ways to improve our environment, creating new processes for genetically engineered materials, and developing new semiconductor sensors.”

W einberger, who joined Drexel’s faculty in 1972, has received a Drexel departmental teaching award, as well as the Allied Foundation Teaching Fellowship Award and has served as a visiting professor at Princeton University in 1985. He has also served as a member of the Drexel College of Engineering’s long-range curriculum study committee and as its United Way coordinator for the past two years.

Weinberger has also been employed both full-time and as a consultant for the DuPont and Shell Oil corporations, as well as by the

Townwatch begins ID pushby Diane Klivington

Special to the Triangle

In the past, Townwatch, the Drexel University crime watch program, has significantly decreased the crime rate in the surrounding campus area. However, this summer, more Drexel students are leaving their apartments and houses vacant during the weekends and heading fw the shore, making them an easy target for theft

In order to respond to this increase in crime, Townwatch has entered the national program. Operation ID, whose purpose is i(kntification of personal property. Townwatch invested in four engravers and assigned captains to each sorority and fraternity to be responsible for engraving personal and Greek property of value, with a driver license number and last name (optional).

If property is lost or stolen, and identified with a driver license number, the recovery of this property is more rapid than with other forms of identification. If one does not own a driver’s license he/she can use a family members license number.

Since the program had proved successful in the Greek system for recovery of stolen items, Townwatch expanded the program to include residents of the Powelton Village area.

The outlook for the future is to expand Operation ID to include the Drexel student body in the areas surrounding the campus. However, the plans for expanding this

program outside the Greek system, is still in the progress of refinement

“I do not think people realize the severity of the increase in crime on our campus,” said Chairman Paul Conner of Sigma Pi Fraternity. “With the nice weather and Drexel .students retreating to the shores on weekends, we are an easy target for crime. It does not matter how secure your building is, you can be victimized, and Townwatch is doing everything within their power to reduce this risk. If this program can help recover one victim’s property then we believe the program has been a success. We expect this program to be successful among the Drexel non- Greek community as it has been in the Greek community.”

Questions and suggestions about the program can be directed to Paul Conner of Sigma Pi at 386- 5138 and Joel Fox of Alpha Pi Lambda at 222-8445.

There’s a “virus” killing computer meiTKMies at a number of campuses. Self-perpetuating programs that automatically clog, delay, or erase computer memories have damaged systems at the universities of Delaware and Pittsburgh, at Lehigh and George Washington universities, overseas at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and throughout much of the international electronic mail system of IBM since December, 1987.

Such viruses, explains Ohio State computer center official Martin Solomon, are encoded onto disks and, when inadvertently activated by someone giving a routine computer conunand, destroy whatever data are in a computer’s memory.

The destruction can begin merely by downloading programs firom public bulletin b o a ^ .

‘ When a large mainframe system is infected, of course, huge amounts of data can be destroyed.

‘There is no limit to the damage that can be cone,” opines Dan Updegrove of Educom, a consortium o f cam pus com puter officials,adding viruses can infect national networks.

‘T he vinis,” moreover, “ is something that can regenerate itself. What it does may or may not be malignant,” Updegrove says.

Students andfaculty members have k)st files, papers, messages, and research to ifae virus on various campuses.

“the virus was more than an inconvenience, but not a disastCT,” said Ann Webster of the University of Delaware’s computer services office, which has been trying to flush the vims out of its system for months.

Sometimes called the “Pakistani” or “Brain” virus, the computer “disease” was invented by a student in Pakistan “for fun.” He put it on a disk for a friend, and the program, going from disk to disk, eventually spread to the U.S. sometime last summer.

A computer usw typically has no idea he or she is triggering such a virus.

For example a program, Solomon explained,might ask a user to type in a simple command like “yes,” which, in turn, starts the process of unlocking files on a disk and destroying or damaging the data in them.

some viruses can “infect” new disks that are used in the same machine.

At Lehigh, changed dates on a system file tipped off an alert official that a virus was abroad on campus in December.

“We knew about the viruses, but we had no plan for dealing with them,” said Tim Foley of Lehigh’s Computing Consulting Services.

At Delaware, the number of students who reported lost files on their disks grew through the semester. At the busiest computer site, the main library, ttie virus infected about half the site disks.

ccMnputer users of the problem, recommending that students use only their own disks and that they start the computer themselves for each use.

And both schools have succeeded in getting most of the infected disks out of circulation, though Delaware’s Webster worries “some may turn up on seldom- used disks alter.”

Far worse things were in store at Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Found only because it increased the disk space of existing programs and slowed the system when it ran on a Friday the 13th, the Israeli virus was programmed to

wipe out all files on May 13, Webster said.

“It’s not easy to plant a virus. The average hacker doesn’t know how to do this,” said OSU’s Solomon.

While Solomon thinks thebest protection against the virus may be the courtesy of fellow computer users, many campuses are adopting security measures.

Idaho State University, for instance,now has security checks and passwords. Solomon’s Ohio State dumps data onto tape every night.

Some schools, like Lehigh, are considmng commercially avail

able “watchdog” prograi = s to boost their security.

B ut Educom’s Updegrove had a slightly different answer.

“People who use electronic mail frequently should not execute an executable program unless you know what it is. The pwsonal computer user shouldn’t download any programs from electronic bulletin boards if you don’t know what they are or how they work.”

“Data or text can’t hurt you,” said Updegrove. “What’s harmful is a working computer program that can be executed. If it prints a picture, it may also do something pernicious behind the scenes.”

EvaThury, authorof Tools for Writing, Macintosh academic software aimed at helping students improve their writing skills at Drexel, regularly receives royalty checks representing proceeds from the sale ot her software.

ButThury is nota typical software hacker. She is an assistant professor of humanities and communications in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and a participant in Kinko’s Academic Courseware Exchange program.

Tools fcM- Writing, created in 1983, has eight menu items to help

im!)rovet*''*»’'compositions including a spell list list, a frequent words list, an outline menu, and a vague word which identifies such words as “viable” or “together” and suggests thatasuonger or more specific word be used. While the liist of vague words contains approximately 200 words, it can be

modified to accept the user’s own selections.

The outline menu excerpts the ftfst and last sentence from every paragraph and allows the u ^ to see if their paragraphs make sense. Tools for Writing also counts the words, lines and paragraphs in a paper.

Thury has traveled to several colleges across the country giving presentations on the uses of Tools for Writing. Her most recent trip was to Whittier (Allege in California.

Whittier was in t^ s te d in using the software for their “Writing across the Curriculum” iMX)gram which allows teachers in di^erent areas, i.e. psychology, physics, and anthropology, to teach writing.

Although Drexel also has a "Writing across the Curriculum” program, it is set up differently from the Whittier program, allowing English teachers to teach writing in such areas as psychology and physics.

In addition to Whittier Col

lege, Thury has recently visited Colby College

in Vermont where the software would be used to aid students with the translation of the Bible.

In addition to intercollegiate presentations, Thury has also given presentations to incoming freshmen, emphasizing the literary value of the computer. Thury is currently using the software as a lab in her R 102 course where the students use the different menu items on samples of well known writers to gain insight on how the authors wrote and how their writing styles differ or resemble each other.

Tools for Writing is sold in the University Store for $10.75.

The program is also sold through Kinko’<: and its Academic Courseware Exchange (ACE), the largest distributor of academic software for the Macintosh, for $16.(X). Kinko'scurrendy markets 34 Drexel-developed programs, accounting for nearly a quarter of all the course ware a v ^ b le through ACE.

Drexel will be ofTering off-campus graduate courses leading to a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering at American Electronics Latoratories, Inc. (AEL), in Lansdale, PA. Certain courses are offered each temi, to provide a convenient way for electrical engineering graduates living in Bucks, Montgomery, and Lehigh counties to pursue graduate studies, according to Shelly Ressler, mariceting coordinator for the University College.

Interested students living in that area do not have to travel to Drexel's main campus to take courses.

There are eight courses being offered this term for credit, which are in three general areas of electrqphysics, systems, and computers and digital circuits. Offo'ed to any engineer pursuing a graduate degree, working towards a master’s degree, or wishing to keep abreast of developments in their field, the courses are open to any matriculated graduate student of Drexel University. One does not have to be an employee of AEL, or an undergraduate graduate of

Drexel to participate in the off- campus degree program.

Fifty-four graduate students participated in the program at AEL last year, two ctf which were Alexander Rainer and Alan Klingerman. Ratner and Klinger- man. both Drexel graduates, were the first graduate students to earn a m aster's degree through the University's off-campus electrical and computer engineering gradu- ^program ,graduating last month. Employed as engineers at AEL, they b ^ agreed that taking the courses there was a great convenience and allowed them to complete their degrees more qukkly and economically than travelling to the main campus.

The classes^ taught by full-time Drexel ECE professors, are held Monday through Thursday nights, from 6 to 9 p.m., starting September 19th. Each course is held once per week and the fee is $960 for a three-credit graduate course in the College of Engineering.

Although this is the only off-campus location for graduate credit courses at the time, courses have also been located in the pastat the Naval Air Development Center, in Warminstw, PA. Non-credit

courses, however, are offered at many times throughout the year in locations such as the Campbell SoupCo. in Canxlen, and the Phila^ delphia Naval Shipyard. Anyone interested in the AEL program, or in other graduate programs, shouk! contact the Continuing Pnrfesswnal Educatkm Office in Room 216 of the Main Buikling, or call (21S) 895-2156.

letter of July 8:

We, SPA, are also interested in running the Friday Night Flicks during the summer term. However, very few of us are ever on campus in the summer. (I happened to be on campus arguing with OSIR when I picked up The Triangle. I am currently on co-op.)

But aside from that, this summer SPA is undergoing a long-overdue and much needed reorganization. Running FNF and other social events during the summer term is something we are seriously discussing. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to drop by our office on the third floor of MacAIister hall in the fall, when we resume activities.

Unsigned LettersReaders:

I realize, that because it is summer, not too many people have time to write Letters to the Editor,

and those that do, don’t have time to look at the Letters Policy box. So here goes.

NO UNSIGNED LETTERS! No! No! No! They will not be printed so it is a pointless exercise for us both that does nasty things to my ulcers. We will withhold names, understanding that some people may fear retaliation. However, we demand that writers take responsibility for what they write, in case it is litelous, slanderous, or defama- tCMy.

Turn it in on a Macintosh disk. I’m a lousy typist, and a so-so proofreader, and I get shooting pains in my back when I type too much.

Include aphone number in case there is a problem (e.g. the subject

of the letter tries to firebomb The Triangle offices). Also include major and year of graduation (students) position at the University (faculty, staff, administration).

Finally, TTie Triangle reserves the right to edit for length, grammar, clarity, and accuracy.

The Triangle enjoys Letters to the Editor. It’s nice to know some student is alive and awake and unapathetic and realizes there’s more to the paper than Bloom County.

mer at Rorida’s John P. Kennedy Space Center, the third consecutive summer without a launch of the space shuttle. As the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) struggles to prepare Discovery for a mission this fall, graduate students from twenty countries have converged on the campus of the Mass£^:husetts Insti-

tute of Technology to begin the first session of the International Space University (ISU).

For nine weeks, they will be educated by tq> professors from the European Space Agency, California Institute of Technology Jet Propulsion Laboratory and other premier universities. Such engineering and science topics as lunar surface infrastructure and planetary exploraticm will be covered.

The idea of a space university can be traced as far back as the launch of the first Spatnik in 1957, and from observing some of the disasters of the last few years, it is better late than never. The explosion of Challenger on January 28, 1986, and the deaths of Christa McAuliffe and her six fellow astronauts saddened most Americans and stopped all manned flights.

Several unmanned satellite launches soon suffered accidents as well, leaving national security and weather observation at risk. Over a dozen people left the astronaut corps and thousands of shuttle workers were laid off in Rorida. The Galileo Jupiter probe and Hubble Space Telescope, both expected to revolutionize astronomy, were put into storage.

The chaos in the space program is the result of poor planning by NASA Congress and the White House. President Kennedy’s goal of a moon landing by 1970 was met by Apollo 11, but under intense political pressure, ambitious plans for elaborate lunar missions, a space station, and missions to Mars, were dron>ed in favor of the reusablebut there will also be emphasis on

space poUcy-making and manu^ - space shuttk«4 n promising the use factunng in space. The goal of the of the shuttle to launch satellitesprogram, which is supported by grants from corporations, foundations, and government, is to train the space generation (those of us who have been bom since the first space missions in the late 1950s) to build upon the work already done and act upon what they see as the incredible potential of the high frontier.

(especially for the military), carry scientific laboratories, and retrieve and repair broken satellites, the shuttle design became increasingly complex and expensive. Worse yet, it was not seen as a means to an end.

President Reagan’s goal of a permanently manned space station has failed to excite some in the

scientific community because of its projected high cost, and its limited potential in providing a platform for satellite repair, science experiments, and materials processing in microgravity.

If it can be agreed that manned space missions are necessary, what is now needed is a consensus on future manned projects beyond the shuttle and the proposed space station. If we choose to build a lunar base and develop mining projects there, or even go on to Mars, we need to develop an infrastructure of systems b o ^ manned and unm ann^, government and private, American and international. It should not require a financially backbreaking investment, as NASA is now given only about $ 10 billion annually, which is much less than its level of spending in the mid-1960s, and certainly miniscule compared to the $300billion budgets of the £)epartments of Defense and Health and Human Services.

A President Bush or Dukakis would do well to make space development and the formation of a strong goal-oriented policy a top priority in working with the next Congress. Strong leadership from Washington would signal the importance of space in increasing scientific knowledge and developing technology which has already aided our lives in immeasurable ways. The people of the space generation are moving as fast as possible under present conditions to advance space development, but much more must be done. Bush, Dukakis, and every Congressional

candidate must make their views on space known, or be forced to do so. Let’s start now.

• What are they up to? While going through last Tuesday’s newspaper, I came across a story that had me shaking my head in disbelief. It seems that Marshal Sergei Akhromeyev, the military chief of staff and number two man in the Soviet Union’s Defense Ministry just completed an unprecedented tour of the United States, which included a trip on an aircraft carrier and sitting in the cockpit of the B-IB bomber, the weapon on which we have spent billions of dollars to ensure that it can effectively penetrate Soviet defenses.

If the thought of Soviet soldiers personally seeing our most advanced weapons and visiting the Pentagon worries you a bit, consider one James Giffen, the president of a consortium of seven corporations considering extensive expansion into the U.S.S.R. “We’re after profits,” he is reported as saying, in discussing the efforts of more than 500 U.S. businessmen to do business with what used to be called the Evil Empire.

During the m eetings in Moscow between PresidentReagan and General Secretary Gorbachev in late May-early June, two agreements were signed by U.S. companies to enter joint ventures with the Soviet government in building petrochemical plants. The deals, at a cost of more than $25 billion, will allegedly provide oppressed So

viet consumers with synthetic materials, tires and clothes, among other goods, from rubber and plastic. With much lower labor costs than the United States, the Soviets plan on making profits from the sales of these goods on the world market.

Since bashing our allies in Western Europe and the Pacific Rim for their ability to compete so well in the marketplace, why are we aiding a nation which, according, to liberal Democratic Congressman Steve Solarz, has the worst human rights record in the history of the world? Why not reinvest in American industry? The Soviet Union needs a much more consumer-directed economy, but not at our expense.

Military coordination to prevent misunderstandings is also necessary, but at a time when Mr. Gorbachev is still on shaky ground, it is unwise to be moving as fast as we have, given more than forty years of mutual suspicion. If tlw Soviet Union becomes more of an economic than military threat to the United States, a complete reversal of the present situation, the world will probably be safer. But not when the Soviet Union still denies many basic rights to its own citizens and millions of people in the Soviet bloc, and not at the expense of American jobs.

July 22,1988 The TViangle

L oo kin* f o r love in a ll th e w ro n g p la c e s— th e p erso n a lsHell. That’s the only place I

can think of that I haven’t looked fOT a compatible female (wdl, hell and Marcus Hook, but sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference).

Everybody says there are lots of places. Name one. Class? Somehow the atmosphere of asking someone out is lost when a professor is droning about retained earnings.

Guest ColumnistGlenn Neiman

What about bars? Well, they are OK if you have a collection of neverfail lines, such as “Say, babe, will you be With me,” and the ever- popular, “Can I buy you a drink?” I don’t. In fact, I generally turn into a babbling idiot after “Hello.”

Then one fateful evening I was talking to a friend who goes to Drexel. he was telling me all of the clever things his fraternity put in Drexel’s newspaper (for instance: “Lost—three large pizzas on the comer of 33rd and Powelton” and “For Sale—F-18 Hornet, low miles, many extras). I asked him if he really paid to put those in. He said no, classified ads are free to Drexel students.

Immediately a light went on in my head (ora grease fire juststarted on the stove, I don’t remember).

All aboard

Place a personal ad—what a concept!

Step number one was to decide whether o rnot to be serious. We looked at each other and decided we couldn’t start being serious now. The general theme we wanted was that we w oe tired of hearing “Let’s just be friends.” So, in no time at all, we scratched out a subtle tender plea:

Ihaveenough friends! Women keep telling me they want to be friends. I don’t need any more friends! What I need is an attractive, intelligent woman to help me steam up my shower. Call Glenn, 283-128?

After I put the ad in the paper I had a choice to make. Since the number in the ad is the Temple- Ambler Press office number, I had to decide whether or not to tell anyone in the office about the ad. Nauirally, I decided not to say a thing.

This created some interesting messages, as you might imagine. First a guy called, said, “Tell Glenn to go shower with the fags at [a Drexel fraternity],” and hung up. All of sudden I started getting strange looks from my co-workers.

A few days later, on a Wednesday afternoon, a girl called. Our esteemed editor-in-chief, Mr. Randy Parker, took the message that she wanted to meet me at Cavanaugh’s at 11:(X) that night She said she’d be wearing a red dress and I should carry a red rose.

Since nobody in the office thought I’d place such an ad, 1 didn’t find out about the call until Thursday. I still think Parker was at Cavanaugh’sthatnightwith a red rose.

The following Monday.I was laying out my pages when I was told I had a phone call. I picked up the . .. phone and a female voice said, “Hi, how are you doin’?” The voice was so casual I thought it must be somebody I knew, so I said “Hi” right back. Then she said she was calling about the ad. I vaguely remember knocking someone’s cheese fries into the filing cabinet.

Anyway, this girl, we’ll call her Sheryl, said she was just calling for fun. So, I said that was OK, I just placed the ad for fun. So I lied, sue me.

We talked for a while, then we decided to have lunch together, at Drexel, that Friday.

Well, Friday rolled around, and I found that I was going to have to bust my butt to make it down there on time. Everything went right, though, and I got there a few minutes early, but Mother Nauire was calling (make that screaming). I went into the building we were meeting at to kx)k for a bathroom. Once in,

I asked a decidedly unattractive girl if there was a bathroom in the building.

This girl then kx>ked at me, looked down at my book bag (a red Temple bag—Sheryl knew 1 went to Temple), then looked back up at

me and said, “Are you Glenn?” The air stopp^ moving, my

heart stopped beating (I think you get the idea). I thought to myself, “I just busted my butt u> get down here for you.” But then I thought, OK, I deserve this, so I said, “Yeah, I’m Glenn,” then with a wince, “are you Sheryl?” My faith, and bladder control, was restored when she said, “No I’m Sheryl’s friend, she told me you were coming.”

Then I met Sheryl, and a moderately friendly relationship started (made in heaven, but assembled in Center City). To make a looooooooong story short, though, a month lather the romance was over—those immortal words off her lips bringing me back to reality, “Maybe we should just be friends.”

Now I don’t know where to start again. Maybe I should make the ad more explicit.

Glenn Neiman is a senior at Temple University and is the fopner sports editor and business manager of the Temple-

Ambler Press. We believe he wouldn’t have such problems with women if he'd let go of some of his more neanderthal prejudices.

“SEPTAboosts rail-rider park- $500 million dollars five years ago building lodes like Ticketron be- eff(Mt to decrease tuition costs, • l-800*555-HELL The ’ to renovate the train system, twice forea Springsteen concert Person- should rent cots in Creese to stu- angle has been receiving a premg’“This is probably one of the

most sensitive issues in the suburban territory, and there probably is little else we could do in terms of pleasing the public than adding parking spaces. ’ ’—Eugene Skoro- powski, chief operations planning officer.

Elevator from Hell Susan J. Talbutt

In keeping with this bit of delirious fantasy, SEPTA is adding 5,800 parking spaces to the ah-eady existing 14,000, will spend $11,000,000. This is one of those things that is supposed to pay for itself; more riders (and parkers) means more money coming in.

Yeah, right.SEPTA needed an estimated

$500 million dollars five years ago to renovate the train system, twice that to overhaul all services. As of last week, the price had jumped to $3.6 billion—just to bring the system up to safety [itals]^and operational standards. An additional $7(X) million is needed to increase the efficiency of the whole thing and make it pretty.

Not surprisingly, the study, conducted by Peat Marwick & Main, Co., discovered the Regional Rail lines were not even close to cost effective. No surprise there. Parking, one would think, is the least of their worries.

Now, SEPTA tells us that the Paoli line has so many people who want to park, they line up as early as 2 am to purchase monthly parking permits. Two am? These people don’t have a problem untU they have people camping overnight for permits. And, if SEPTA is anything like Drexel, even then they won’t admit they have a problem. At the start of each term, the Main

building lodes like Ticketron be- forea Springsteen concert Personally, I think Drexel realizes the parking situation here is deplorable and they view allowing the unsafe conditions in the garage to continue as the cheapest way to decrease demand for permits.

The Paoli line probably does need more parking spaces just as Drexel needs a larger garage, but that’s not the biggest problem facing SEPTA.

If SEPTA wants to increase ridership cheaply, why not start with the quality of service? They have a number of problems in this area.

One, dependable service. By my count, the U ^ n was (Xi time twice in the five weeks I commuted early in the term. How much does it cost to be on time?

Two, more service. Trains stop leaving Center City at midnight, thereby forcing thousands of college students to have no social life or stop commuting. Drexel, in an

effort to decrease tuition costs, should rent cots in Creese to sui- dents stuck overnight. They could make a killing in the bookstore on shampoo, s o ^ , toothbrushes, and contact solution.

Three, cleanliness. Suburban Station, and 30th Sureet to a lesser extent, are filthy. I’ve seen subway stops that were cleaner. I’ve seen fraternity houses that were cleaner. I’ve seen garbage dumps that were cleaner.

The dirt, perhaps, is there to lend visual excitement to the glorious shades of beige both stations have been decorated in. Picasso went through his blue period, Philadelj^ia’s public transportation system went through a dull period.

With so many needed repairs on rail lines; the El, which is now $75 million over budget; bridges; and PCB that needs to be cleaned up, you would think everyone would have something better to do than think of ways to spend money.

• 1-800-555-HELL The Triangle has been receiving a preponderance of strange phone calls lately. When answered, the line apparently goes deaTI (or we gel put on hold, we can’t decide which).

The news editor has put f o ^ the opinion that it’s a sh; informant trying to give us information about expense account abuses at the library.

, 1, however, (and you know this opinion comes with the blessing of heaven) know it’s the Elevator from Hell leaving a sinister warning fw me. Ha! I’ve discovered the freight elevate! I never have to worry about plunging three stories down an elevator shaft again!

Susan J. Talbutt moved into an apartment over the weekend and will now contend with the subway system. She's looking forward to it. Informationfor this column came from the July 13 and 14 issues of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

DRUGS continued from IThe goal of the proposal, said

Gramm, is to decrease the demand for drugs with harsh penalties.

“The people who use drugs are the stockholders in organized crime,” he said.

“Education efforts and interdiction efforts in and of themselves will not solve the drug problem...this proposal says to drug users that there are penalties for the use of drugs, and you’re going to pay those penalties,** said Gramm *s press secretary Larry Neal.

“It doesn’t make any sense to penalize an institution based on a single individual,” added Adler.

The U.S. Department of Education has required colleges to have some kind of drug education program since 1987. Although the

“The war must be won in the conscience, the attitude, the character of Americans as a people,” said White House Conference chairwoman Lois Haight Herrington.

“So long as we tolerate drugs, we will never rid ourselves of this national albatross.”

The avazgc adult has ten to twelve pints of blood and the human body replaces a pint in one or two days. Donors should wait 56 days a f ^ giving blood before donating again. Sufficient time has passed for donors who gave during the Spring blood drive to allow them to give blood again. Acc(Mtiing to the Red Cross, most donors report no side effects or reactions to donating.

The donated blood is broken down into components so that each pint helps three to five people. Records are kqpt of each donor along with their fraternity, sorority, or organization to find the highest pCTcentage of participation. The results will be publish^ after the drive is completed.

Coming To America is Eddie Murphy at his finest This film, direcied by John Landis (Animal House, B lues Brothers, etc...)* gives viewers the chance to experience Murphy’s diverse talents. He portrays several characters in the film.

all of which (xiginated firoro his stand up routines. Coming TioAmer- ica, which has experienced great success, is about an African prince (Mun)hy) who has decided to come to Aroeiica in search of a wife. To accompany him is his servant and friend, Arsenio H all

The movie begins with the prince awakened by the royal servants who commence to bathe and

dress him. It is his twenty-first birthday, and as the royal tradition has always been his b id e will now be chosen. However, Murphy decides that he does not want an arranged marriage to a woman who will follow his every command and live to serve him, he wants a wife who has her own values and ideas about life, someone that he can treat as an equal. His wedding day arrives arxl just as he ^ ro a c h e s the alter he decides that he had better question his ‘wife to be’ befwe marrying her. The prince and his bride enter a nx>m and the prince asks, “What type of music do you like?” She replies, “What ever you like.” He then tells her to baric like a dog which, of course, she does. He continues to questicHi h ^ until he comes to the realization that she is more like an obedient pet than a wife. It is at this time that he decides to come to America in search of a spouse.

Although the movie is very amusing it is very predictable and lacks a serious s t ^ line. Thefilm includes plenty of material that has been used in past Murphy productions and* seethed to be directed toward his Cans. It is Morphy’s first film that is aimed toward giv-

Of The Triangle

“I have spent half my life trying to get away from journalism, but I am still mired in it - a low trade and a habit worse than heroin, a strange seedy world full misfits and drunkards and failures ”

Hunter S. Thompson is a name that is not quickly recognized today. Some might recall the movie = Where the Buffalo Roam, starring Bill Murray, or the character, Duke, in the D oonesbury comic strip. Both of these eccentric characters are based on Thompson.

Hunter T h ^ p so n is the creatcv of gonzo journalism. Beginning his care^ in the sixties he has covered everything from Watergate to Muhammad Ali’s downfall from an off-the-wall twisted and often hunxvous viewpoint His travels include a year reporting from South America and another year l iv i^ with the Hell’s Angels during their peak in popularity and power.

His books have been few and far between, considering his expansive writing. Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas tells the story of his drug crazed adventures during a ’routine' assignment in Las Vegas and the sur

rounding high-speed highways. Fear and Loathing On the Campaign Trail '72 gives complete coverage of that year’s election and all the pditical dirt that Thompson could dig up. The Great Sh^kH unt (Gonzo Papers Vol. 1) is a compilation of Thompson’s best works from the sixties to the late seventies.

Generation Of Swine (Gonzo Papers Vol. 2 is Thompson’s latest

Hunter S. Thompson Generation Of Swine

Summit Books

book. Like The Great Shark Hunt it is a compilation of some of his w(^ks. This time we have a la r^ sampling of the columns that Thompson has been writing for the San Francisco Examiner since 1985.

Thompson’s official title at the Examiner is ‘ Media Critic.” Many of the columns are just his views on what is going on in the worid. O thos are his adventures in Key West, Florida. A few are interviews with people such as Gary Han or Ed Turner (Vice President of CNN).

While some c h ^ x ^ are merely curiously written pieces

about nothing much, others are in-depth views about politics and workl events.

Thompson starts on the 1988 election early. He turns the election into a betting race, the candidates into horses. He keeps a close tab on people like Ed Meese, Oliver North and Moammar Khadafy.

M wy columns begin with a quote from such pec^le as Rich

ard Nixon, RcHiald Re-— agan and Adolf Hitler.

"Huge brains, small necks, weak muscles and fat wallets - these are the dominant physical characteristics of the '8 0 s ... The Generation of Swine."

Since each chapter first£^^}earedinanews- p ^ r , the length is re

stricted. There are many times when one would wish that Thompson wouM be allowed to go on and write several more pages on a topic.

While not his best work. Generation Of Swine deserves a lot of merit It clearly shows that Thompson has not k)st his biting edge and gonzo writing style.

**If you work in journalism or politics - or both, like I do - you will be flogged for being right and flogged for being wrong, and it hurts both ways - but it doesn’t hurt as much when you’re right"

McClain foresees a wondertulJy depressmg holiday season.Shortly after Willis arrives, 11 well- armed terrorists seize the building, effectively barring access from the ground floors. McClain fânages to avoid being rbunded up with the other party-goers, thanks to his sulking act in a wife’s remote office bathroom.The terrorist’s leader, Hans (Alan Rickman), is a suave European sporting an English laitored silk suit and a Heckler aixi Koch 9mm MP5 submachine gun. His goal is much more tangible than a political statement With his similarly armed compatriots, a few crates of portable anti-tank and air missiles launchers and a gym bag of explosives, the terrorists are capable of holding off even L.A. S.W.A.T. teams, should they arrive.Like innumerable classic westerns, McClain stands alone and barefoot against Hans’ men, armed only with his pistol (a 9mm Berretta 92 This is an important part of the plot dûnnit, especially for all you readers that don’t know which end of a pistol is dangerous). Despite the fact that the writers even haul out the old plot cliche of “saving the woman he toves,” Die Hard is an intricate and captivating tale, never letting the audience's attention wane.

The tone for the rest of the movie is set with the terrorist’s discovery of McCarry’s first victim - the corpse’s tee-shirt bearing the grue- sonaely funny announcement written in blood, “Now I’ve got a machine gun. Ho-Ho-Ho.” Die

Clint Eastwood returns to his role as Inspector Harry Callahan in The Dead Pool, the fifth ‘Dirty Harr> ’ movie. The plot is fairly typical — a lunatic is once again terrorizing San Francisco, and it’s up to Harry to stop him.

The title refers to a game being played by a few members of a movie crew that’s filming there. The participants construct a mock betting pool of celebrities whom

they think will die in the next few weeks. But someone is taking the game seriously. Local celebrities are methodically being killed corresponding to the dead pool list

Harry, already a well-known figure in San Francisco, is currently in the public eye because of his arrest of a kxal mobster. Con

sequently, his name shows up on the list. Harry is in the precarious position of simultaneously being

•hunter and hunted. He and the killer play a relentless citywide game of cat-and-mouse.

Making matters worse, the mafia wants revenge. The kingpin is orchestrating Harry’s assassination from his jail cell, safely out of Harr>’s reach. Whenever Harry appears in public, an attempt is

'^ad e on his life. Submachine gun- wielding thugs materialize out of nowhere and annihilate everything in the vicinity.

There’s also an interesting subplot concerning media sensationalism. A pushy reporter has been exploiting the crisis in wder to get high ratings. She even wants to do an exclusive feature spotlighting Harry himself. However, her perspective changes when her name is added to the dead pool.

Lots of bullets fly in T/te Dead /*c»/,butfortunately the movie isn’t founded on action scenes ak>ne. Which is good, because in Dirty Hairy movies, Eastwood is frequently upstaged by his own gun! There were so many ck>se-ups of Harry’s .44 Magnum in Sudden Impact that it was {Hectically a co- star.

Shaman, a local musical trio, will perform their own brand of mystic music on Saturday night in Mandell Theater.

The local group has three members, Michael Scott on drums, Joe Dimattia on keyboards and Mike Merlino on percussion. The band was formed about six years ago when Scott was working at Medley Music. Merlino and Dimat- tia came to the store to buy their equipment and met Michael there.

Shaman are working on recording their compositions and there is talk of putting a record out sometime next year. The group “has an easy-going way of working with each other.” They have various animal puppets which “they use to gal silly and relax after a long practice,” said Sally Ruther, Theater Manager at Mandell.

Of the Triangle

“We think we have the combination to recruit against anybody,” said Patrick Flannery, assistant men’s basketball coach, describing the combination of athletics and academics that Drexel offers.

It’s the opportunity to get a good education while playing with a good basketball team that attracts players, said Flannery. And the new recruits bear this ou t

Jim Fenwick, an incoming mehanical engineering major who played center for Tunkhannock High School, said he chose Drexel because he likes the basketball jxo- gram and the coaches, the academic program, and, of course, co-op. Fenwick is considering playing basketball jM-ofessionally and sees playing for Drexel as a good way to leam.

Jonathan Raab, a civil engineering major from Eastern York High School who plays power forward, was looking for an engineering school “with a basketball program at a level I could compete at..traditionally, [Drexel is] one of the best in the conference.” Additionally, Philadelphia will be a big change from rural York, Pennsylvania, but the two hour drive is the “ideal distance.” Raab said he was looking forward to the next season, knowing he will have to work hard for a position, but hopes to be a starter by his j unior or senior year.He also considered the University of Delaware, the Naval Academy, and Emily Dickinson.

According to Flannery, most of the com- petiticxi for recruits comes from Delaware, St.Joseph’s University. Fairfield [college or U?], and LaSalle University. Both SL Joe’s and LaSalle are part of “the big five” of Philadelphia basketball teams, considered to be tl^ best in the city; the other three are Temple Uni- vCTsity, Villanova Uni varsity, and University of Pennsylvania].

Other new playm that chose Drexel are Michael Thompson firom S t Raymnond High School who will be playing as a guard and forward, Dan Leahy, forward, from Wildwood Catholic High School, and Clarence Armstrong, a guard from Chichester' High School.Unfortunately, The Triangle did not have a

chance to cantact all of the new players.Flannery said he and Joe Cassidy, the

other assistant men's basketball coach, start contacting potential players sometime between their freshmen and junior years of high school. They attempt to familiarize the student, his family and coach with Drexel.

Drexel’s big selling points are, in addition to the team, it’s academic ro ta t io n and coop. Flannery said that Drexel is “regarded as the academic school in the city,” and 96 percent of the basketball players in past decade went on to graduate, competed with the Office of Student Information and Rec(»d*s statistk: of80to83 percent in the g e n ^ student body.

The coop program is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, it’s what attracts many students to the University; one the other, for six nKMiths out of the year (as compared with other schools, which k)se contact for only three nKNiths) the coaches do not have daily contact with the players. Flannery sees this as being a benefit because team members must be self- disciplined and w < ^ out on their own. The players are in school during the fall and winter terms, and the new co-op cycles will fall right in with that

Jon Rabb - YCIAA player of Ae year

During the summer between his juni(»r and senior years, according to Flannery, the student narrows hischoices down to “five or eight” schools.

While he is narrowing down his choices, the coaches are narrowing down their own. The big factors they take into consideration are academics, athletics, and their needs fw the coming year. “ Are we good enough to win our conference?” is what we Rx)t for,’' ^ d FlaiiheryTWitliirve new athletes this >rear, perhaps only three will be signed next year.

The coaches are on the road from July 10 through 31 travelling throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Connecticut, and other states; each sees about six to seven hundred kids each, said Flann^y. “You have to be visible.”

“It’s tough on me posonally. I get ck)se to families,” he said, “The toughest thing is recruiting a kid and signing someone else...sometimes we don’t have the resources; we drive everywhere [and that is] physk:ally demanding.” Right now, Cassidy and Flannery are on the road every afternoon.

Cassidy and Flannery make the ccmtact and create the interest, but the whole coaching staff, including Head Coach Eddie Burke, that decides which students to persue. Once Burite gets involved, Flannery said, they “really want” a student

After going through the “gung ho” phase of recruiting, where the coaches make regular phone calls amd send mailings about Drexel to the student, the coaches go to the home of the Drexel hopeful in about September or October and make a presenation of what Drexel has to offer. In November he can sign early, if the player has made up his mind, or wait until April Two of the five new basketball players signed early.

*'We have great kids.because we worked hard and got them in here,” s ^ Flannery.

As for the future, Flannery said there was a lot of talent, but the team is very young. “How fast we mature as a team will determine how far we can go."
