Party • it nations may be illegal By LISA JENNINGS

A new JMU policy prohibits the sale of Greek party tickets to comply with Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control laws. But some Greek groups plan to accept donations, which might violate the same law. «

The policy, formed in a meeting between university officials and Greeks last week, makes Greek parties open to non-Greeks economically unfeasi- ble. But the policy does not forbid Greeks from accepting donations.

Members of several Greek groups said non- Greeks would be given invitations and would be asked for donations.

Dean of Students Lacy Daniel said, "The most recent interpretation (of ABC law) is that taking or receiving money for tickets or invitations is illegal.

"There is a fair amount of concern about how the ABC will react to this," Daniel said.

"It might go to Richmond, or to the ABC office, and they might dispute the specifics as far as where to draw the line," Daniel said.

In last week's meeting, Daniel and Greek coordinator Donna Harper met with leaders of the In- terfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council, and the presidents and social chairmen of Greek organizations to outline the regulations.

The ABC was not represented at the meeting. Daniel has not spoken to the ABC inspector, Bud- dy Decker, since meeting with him several times last semester to discuss possible policy changes.

Decker has said the laws about ticket sales have not been enforced at JMU for four years. But a November raid of a Washington and Lee fraternity party spurred the agency's interest in the law.

Steve Dean, president of Lambda Chi Alpha, said, "I don't see any problems, as long as we follow what Dr. Daniel said." • Rick Stockhausen, president of Sigma Nu,

Council wants honor penalties left unchanged

By IAN KATZ The president of the Honor Council wants to

eliminate the university president's power to change the penalty of convicted Honor Code of- fenders.

The university president is the only official with the power to suspend or expel a student, according to the 1982-83 student handbook.

The only penalties the handbook lists for Honor Code violation are suspension and expulsion.

"Usually the president follows the advice of the Honor Council, but (that's) not necessary," said Tim Reynolds, Honor Council president.

"We would like to see that (our ruling) is not just a recommendation."

In two cases last academic year, JMU President

Honor (Continued from page 1)

Ronald Carrier changed the Honor Council's penalty recommendation, Reynolds said.

"In both cases, he didn't change the verdict of guilty, he just changed the penalty," Reynolds said.

"Personally, I did not agree with the reasons for them (the changes)," Reynolds said. "But it was out of my hands, and that's why (questions) have come up this year asking, 'Is this is a student system, and if it is, how are we going to be sure it re- mains that way?' "

Reynolds would not elaborate on the cases, saying he wanted to pro- tect the identity of the students involved.

Carrier said that when an Honor Council case reaches him, he sometimes would "modify ... the period (of suspension) to make it fair with other penalties. ... It's not a matter of if the penalty is imposed, it's when it's imposed," Carrier said.

"If we had a system where you (a student) were expelled forever, there's never a time that I would ever change it. But if you have suspension, I have to weigh that sometimes in terms of its impact" on the student, Carrier said.

A proposal to limit the university president's power has not been made, Reynolds said. He said he is unsure how much of the university president's power he wants to limit.

"It's just (now) being discussed in the Honor Advisory Board,"

described the policy as "fair." He said, "The administration is doing all they can for us. It's going to be tougher now to stay within the law, but they're supporting' us. Com- pared to what it could have been, it's better, v

Stockhausen said the policy will give Greeks a little more control over parties, and that it gave Greeks "more of a sense of responsibility."

•" The new policy is similar to ' systems used at the University of

Virginia and the University of Rich- mond.

Reynolds said. Kym Layne, Honor Council vice

president, said, "Tim and I think the hearing should be final. The hear- ings are always very formal and serious. We would like to work something out with the advisory board to put something down in the (Honor Council) constitution to make the rule more clear. But nothing definite is planned right now."

The Honor Advisory Board has the power to make changes in the procedures, definitions and powers described in the honor system. Board Chairman Raymond Dingledine said, "I think under the organization of the university now, the Final decision should be with the (university) president."

But he also said, "I think it's desirable that the final decision is simply administered (by the university president) after the Honor Coun- cil makes its recommendation," he said.

According to the structure of the honor system drawn in the handbook, a rule change must be introduced by the Honor Advisory Board and approved by the university president.

Carrier also said such a change would require his approval. "But that's not a problem," he said. "Because I want to do what they (the Honor Council) want to do.

"I would respect whatever the Honor Council directed me to do. I wouldn't object to their clarifying it (the rule)."

"I think what they're doing — trying to redefine their philosophy — is very, very important," Carrier said.

—

Gene Tinari, social chairman of Lambda Chi Alpha at the University of Richmond, said Greeks there can have closed parties funded by the group's dues. They are forbidden from advertising their parties on campus. The only time they are allowed to sell tickets is during Rush Week and Greek Week, when a $5 ticket buys a free pass to any party.

Daniel said banquet licenses will be available for groups that want to sell tickets for an event once or twice a semester. The ABC will ask for specific details to make sure that the group is not trying to make a profit.

Decker had said previously that the ABC would not grant banquet licenses to Greeks on a "weekly, or even a monthly" basis.

Proposed cuts might scrap pay raises

-

m

By STEVE CHURCH

Salary increases might be scrapped for JMU faculty and staff in 1983-84 if the "Virginia General Assembly approves statewide budget cuts proposed Wednesday by Go v. Charles Robb.

"It is my understanding, at this time, that there will be no increases — period," said Cecil Carter, Virginia deputy secretary of education.

Dr. William Jackameit, director of planning, budget and analysis at JMU, said, "Nobody I've talked to seemed surprised by the salary freeze — it's preferred to laying people off."

Funds saved by not giving increases only would be 37.5 percent of a total $2 million cut proposed for JMU's 1983-84 budget.

That $2 million is part of the $185.6 million Robb proposes to cut from all state spending in an effort to balance Virginia's budget — a mandate of the state constitution.

University officials unsure Friday of the affect the budget cut at JMU would have on student tuition.

"It (the budget cut) could mean higher tuition, but the governor might not allow it (a tuition increase at JMU)," Jackameit said.

In a statement released Sunday, JMU President Ronald Carrier said, "We don't intend ... (to im- pose) . . . additional tuition increases beyond that which otherwise would dccur." ;

But specific areas for budget cuts at JMU had not been determined because Robb was just pro- posing the cuts, said university spokesman Fred Hilton.

"If the legislature passes the proposals, we ^rill then decide what to do," Hilton said.

But Carrier said JMU probably would cut all funds for travel and new equipment if Robb's proposals were implemented. He also said $100,000 would be cut from funds for purchasing library books.

To implement the proposed budget cut, Jackameit said the university probably would take similar actions compared to what it did when Robb cut 5 percent of JMU's 1982-83 allocation from the state.

The results of that budget cut included using old, outdated equipment and furniture, traveling less and not filling vacant positions, Jackameit said.

Originally, JMU planned to have a S52 million budget for 1983-84. General state funding would have supplied 520 million and tuition, room, board and other charges" would have made up the remainder.

Robb has proposed a 6 percent across-the-board eut in general funds to state agencies, including in- stitutions of higher education.

That proposal would mean a loss of SI .2 million in general funding for JMU.

In addition, $650,000 JMU had allocated for the faculty's yearly salary increase would have to be dropped under Robb's proposal.

Classified employees would lose both of the two salary increases most of them receive each year.

First, staff gets a pay raise each year as they move up one step in the pay scale for their specific job (except for those staff members at the top of the pay scale already).

The elimination of those pay hikes, called merit increases, will cut $100,000 from JMU's budget.

Staff employees also get a cost-of-living pay hike which raises the entire pay scale for every classification.

"Cost-of-living raises are the only way people at the top of a pay scale normally could get a raise," Hilton said.

"He (Robb) proposes not to give them (cost-of- living raises), but we had not budgeted for them so it is not a cut in our budget," Hilton said.

Jackameit said Thursday it was unclear whether the salary freeze also would include raises accom- panying promotions.

Carter said he believed even promotional raises were.to be eliminated for 1983-84.

JMU President Ronald Carrier said freezing the salaries of JMU's 1,200 faculty and staff members "would have a lasting impact."

He said the freeze could "cause stress in family and institutional relationships that would be far more detrimental than the dollar amounts involved."

Carter said Robb had proposed a cut of about $900,000 in state financial assistance to students.

"For JMU, that means about a $19,000 reduction in the $315,000 it would have received for state financial assistance to students," Carter said.

John Sellers, director of financial aid here, said a financial aid staff member was in Richmond finding out the details of that cut proposal.

"Without getting all the information, it seems like it is not going to have that big of an impact on our student aid," Sellers said.

"This past year, if students had not gotten aid from the state, it wouldn't have been that big of an impact. No student got more than $200 (from the state)," Sellers said.

Nursing school gains national accreditation

By CAY FULTZ JMU's School of Nursing has

received full national accreditation from the National League of Nurs- ing.

The eight-year accreditation is the maximum period for accreditation by the league. The league awarded JMU accreditation on Dec. 9.

The accreditation ^Ull make JMU nursing students eligible for the U.S. military nursing services after graduation and will help students gain admission to master's degree nursing programs, said Dr. Marcia Dake, dean of the School of Nurs- ing.

The accreditation will aid nursing students receive scholarships from the Student Nurse Association and the Veteran's Administration, Dake said.

It also will allow the school to become eligible for federal grants.

The nursing program here is as good as the programs at the Medical College of Virginia at Virginia Com- monwealth University and the University of Virginia, Dake said.

"We have met the same national ' standards as have U.Va. and M.C.V.," she said. "Because of our newness, students have had reason to wonder if it is a quality program."

JMU's nursing program was accredited last May by the Virginia Board of Nursing. It did not become a school until the summer of 1982.

The school received accreditation in a "much shorter period than usual," Dake said. "Under normal circumstances, a school might be in operation two or three years."

Some schools may take longer in receiving accreditation because of such problems as recruiting faculty. "We have been very, very fortunate to recruit very experienced faculty."

To be accredited, a nursing school must meet standards developed by the Council of Baccaluaurate and Higher Degree Nursing Programs, which is composed of accredited schools of nursing. The council is a part of the NLN.

The council looks at such areas as student and faculty policies, cur- riculum, and adequate resources, such as clinical nursing opportunities for the students, Dake said.

Accreditation of the school will not necessarily be advantageous to nursing graduates looking for employment-because all nurses must pass a state-licensing exam, Dake said. Employment depends on the license rather than whether the student graduated from an accredited school.

r~ Student found guilty in room wrecking By GREG HENDERSON

The student charged in the Dec. 3 wrecking of a room in Ashby Hall has been found guilty of assault and battery of a police officer, destruction of public property and public drunkenness.

Steven W. Balenger, 20, a junior from Leesburg, Va., pleaded no contest to the charges Thursday in Rockingham General District Court. He was fined a total of $300 — $100 for each offense.

Judge John A. Paul announced the sentence after Balenger's attorney, David A. Penrod, requested that the charges of destruction of public property, and assault and battery of a police officer be dropped, under the condition that Balenger seek counseling for

' alcohol rehabilitation. . A prosecuting attorney said the state was not in favor of a jail

sentence for Balenger, but asked Paul to find Balenger guilty on all charges.

Penrod told Paul that Balenger "hasn't had any (previous) problems here." He also said Balenger has made "complete restitu- tions" for damages, which he said were about $2,000 for the belongings of the room's residents and about $100 for damage to the room.

Penrod said Balenger "developed a really significant drinking problem" in his three years at JMU. Penrod said Balenger was' "very drunk" at the time of the Ashby incident.

In a statement to the court, Balenger said only, "I'm sorry for what I did."

Contacted later, Balenger said, "I guess it's all over." He said that he has talked with University Judicial Coordinator

AI Menard but would not comment on any possible action the^ university has made or might take.

SGA booksale hits record

The Student Government Associa- tion handled a record $63,848.65 of books during its booksale last week.

"Ust spring we did $45,000, which was our best ever," said Cathy Schulte, SGA-treasurer.

The SGA does not keep th? money. Money for each book sold will go to the book owner. Schulte said 2,393 students brought books to the booksale. The SGA does not keep records of the number of students who buy books at the booksale.

Students can pick up unsold books and checks for books that were sold this week.

Tuesday and Thursday the Virginia Textbook Association will look at the unsold books with the intention of buying books that are still usable.

Schulte said books which are not sold or picked up by the owners will become the property of the SGA. Last year the SGA donated the remaining books to the Catholic Cam- pus Ministry, which donated them to a local prison, Schulte said.

The booksale was the first project of the semester for the SGA. The first SGA Senate meeting is scheduU ed for Tuesday. ►The Commuter Student Com-

mittee's investigation into legal services for students has caused the SGA into considering an on-campus mediation center. The proposed center now is under review by the administration, Harvey said.

MISTAKES Everyone makes mistakes now and then.

In a newspaper, it could be a misspelled name, a misheard quote, or a fact that's fiction. Maybe a story bordered on bad taste, was overplayed, or was not covered at all.

Sometimes the newspaper prints a • correction.

Sometimes a mistake passes unnoticed.

• If you see something in The Breeze that warrants correction, or if you have a question about coverage policy, call Chris Kouba, editor, at (433)-6127. Or write him at The Breeze, JMU, Harrisonburg VA 22807.

The Breeze listens. Because nobody's perfect.

The movie. The Wall, scheduled for the midnight showing at Grafton-Stovall Theater on Friday and Saturday nights was canceled and probably will be shown within two weeks.

The movie did not arrive as expected at JMU Friday morning, said Kelly Waffle, University Program Board film chairman.

Waffle had planned to discuss rescheduling with MGM Monday.

"There's a good chance it will be shown during the Winterfest weekend," Waffle said. UPB's Winterfest Celebration is the week of Jan. 24-29:

Bookstore alters book refund rule

A cash register receipt is required to receive a full refund on textbooks returned to the bookstore within 15 days after the date of purchase, said Joseph Hancher, bookstore manager.

Until this semester, a drop slip also was required for an exchange. The change was made in an effort "to improve the services of the bookstore," Hancher said. "It saves the university .noney and is a conve- nience for the students."

Joseph Hancher Bookstore manager

The lS-day limit was added this semester. Since the drop slip no longer is required, the limit was "needed as a regulator. We had to have a cut-off date," Hancher said.

The cut-off date prevents students from returning books they used in previous semesters, Hancher said.

Health officials plan phone tape

The Health Center submitted information that'might be used on a telephone phone recording during a Health Advisory Board meeting Wednesday.

The taped recording would provide answers to questions students most frequently ask the Health Center. The list included information about birth control services, gynecologists' phone numbers and hours, the hours for visiting bed pa- tients, and clinic hours for special services such as orthopedic services.

The center also stated that appointments cannot be made by phone. They must be made in person with an ID.

The Public Relations Committee of Student Government Association has agreed to conduct a survey asking students what they want to know about illnesses and symptoms. The board wants to compile the questions and answers into a booklet to be printed during the summer and distributed to students in the fall.

By DIANE FIRESHEETS Wine is the fastest growing beverage, alcoholic

and non-alcoholic, in the country, said wine consultant Dan Layman.

Layman, a 1971 Madison graduate, has been a wine consultant for the Charlottesville Distributing Co. for eight years. He will be teaching the Univer- sity Programming Board minicourse, "Wine Ap- preciation," beginning Jan. 20. The course will run for eight consecutive Thursdays from 7-8 p.m. Students must be at least 21 years old and pay a $25 fee.

The objectives of the course are to learn how to taste and evaluate white wines of America. Layman chose white wines for the course because they comprise 75 percent of his sales. If this class goes well he may teach a course in red wines in up- coming semesters.

The wines used in the course will mainly be Virginia and California wines. The text for the class is the magazine Selling and Serving Wine.

Layman says he wants students to decide which wines they like, regardless of the price. Students will taste different wines each session.

"If you like a $5 wine better than a $20 wine you dre not cheap, or have poor taste, you are just lucky!" said Layman.

Students will be introduced to the nine essences of wine, such as fruitiness, sweetness, dryness, floweriness, and tartness. By the end of the course they should be able to distinguish between the different essences.

There are many varieties of white wines. Layman will be using Chenin Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. Within each variety there are different wines according to style and price.

The last session of the course will be on cham- pagne, which is also a white wine. Doug Fleming, the wine maker from Ingleside Plantation in Oakgrove, Va. will be a guest lecturer.

Students can sign up for the wine appreciation course at the UPB office in the Warren Campus Center.

Astrology: ridiculous and irresponsible By JIM DENERY

Horoscopes. I read them, just about every day.

I swear that I don't believe them, but I must read them for some reason.

I would guess that I read them because I want to believe them, maybe. The future has always been an I - want - to - know - but - I - don't - want - to - know situation

for me.

on the rack

But if there is anything I really want to believe, it's my horoscope because they never write anything bad in it.

But 1 can't really believe them because they've let me down so many times in the past. Lasttweek, for instance, Sydney Omarr told me that lla member of the opposite sex is interested and makes no secret of it." If that's true, how come I spent all Saturday night petting a dog? A

real dog, a canine, not even of the opposite sex.

The thing is, horoscopes are just too positive to be credible. Among the 12 signs there isn't a negative statement in any of them. But let's face it, there must be somebody dy- ing on the day that Omarr tells them "a member of the opposite sex is interested and makes no secret of it." If it's true, that's even worse. That member of the opposite sex must be really sick.

Oman is not alone in this charade of predicting the future. In fact, the best-known astrologer would have to be Jeane»Dixon, thanks to The Star, The National Enquirer's only real challenger to tastelessness.

Dixon is famous for her 101 predictions, which appear in The Star every year. Here are some of her predictions for 1983 with some comments.

►Victoria Principal "will experience a whole new kind of love in 1983 which will change her life." Maybe she'll fall in love with one of

the exercising machines she works out on in her Holiday Spa commer- cials. Imagine, 24 months of that. ►Mickey Rooney will have a successful year professionally. But he may also be getting divorced. Some prediction. That's like death and taxes. ►"Erik Estrada could soon announce an engagement or a for- thcoming marriage." Well, which is it? ►John De Lorean will go to jail, but "books and television movies will keep De Lorean in the public eye and will assist him financially." So what? Doonesbury's Duke figured that out last year. ►"New sex scandals will rock Capitol Hill." That's like predicting a JMU tuition increase. ►"Fish behavior will enable us to discover the secrets of ESP and how brain waves can be generated outside the human mind." If you believed the others, why wouldn't you believe this? ►"A trip to the hospital may be necessary for Jimmy Carter before

the year is over to correct a problem." Billy? ►"Video vision will become a major eye defect. Thousands of arcade game enthusiasts will pay a lasting price in impaired eyesight from overexposure to their computer con- tests." Why do you think they called one of the ghosts "Blinky?" ►"Look for a wave of spiritualism — including dangerous occult prac- tices — to hit many American cam- puses over the next two years." For more information, check the hill. ►Then Dixon predicts some sort of John Hinckley copycat situation for Jody Foster, which would place her in a great deal of danger. This was irresponsible, because such a prediction could inspire some psychopath to take on the role of copycat.

Luckily for Foster, the chances of Dixon being correct on this one are the same as a member of the opposite sex being interested (and making no secret of it) in me.

Snoring There are some cures

By CHARLES TAYLOR Webster's Dictionary defines it as a vibration of

the soft palate, usually emitted with the mouth open. I define it as a thunderous roar emitted from my roommate's mouth with the fervor of a 747 jet flying at ground level past my bed.

Snoring, often called "the listener's disease," affects 15 percent of the general population and 50 percent of all senior citizens. Across the 50 states, approximately 35 million people combine their throats in unified rumble night after night.

Judging by the averages, 1,350 JMU students are guilty of fluttering throat tissue on a regular basis. My roommate, Chris, is one of them.

While Mademoiselle quips, "Men are much more likely to snore than are women," Family Health says, "As many women snore as men, but there is no scientific data to prove it."

Most important to snorers — and more important to their unamused, wide-eyed victims — is finding a cure. Often, an instant and painless cure lies simply in finding the cause.

Heavy eating, drinking or smoking before bed often lead to blustery breathing. Heavy exercise before bed may also contribute to snoring.

Other aggravations include allergies, swollen tonsils, nasal congestion and nasal deformities, old age and poorly fitted dentures. Snoring <an even be affected when the dentures are out at night.

There is also an apparent connection between snoring and heavy people. The fleshier the tissue in

the throat, the more likely it is to vibrate and, therefore, create noise.

Sources list cures (pay attention, Chris) ranging from intricate and dangerous chin straps which keep the mouth closed to "snore balls," which were used during the Revolutionary War. Metal balls were sewn into the backs of nightshirts to pre- vent soldiers from sleeping — and thus snoring — on their backs.

Suffocation of the snorer is a more drastic cure, not .necessarily recommended, but occasionally considered.

Other more reasonable solutions recommended include noise devices — any steady, dull sound such as static from a TV or radio station off the air or the hum of an electric fan. They don't always work, though. Chris sleeps with a fan blasting every night (another conflict within itself), and it only seems to be a competitive opponent to his snoring. Next.

Forcing the snorer to sleep on his side may help, since the most vigourous snoring often occurs while sleeping on one's back. Perhaps a rejevena- tion of "snore balls" isn't such a bad idea.

If none of these cures provide relief, then the snorer's victim has options as well. Ear plugs may

help, though a study at Colgate University revealed that some snoring reaches 69 decibels, cdrn par able to low-level concrete drills. Chris may even be worse.

Tape recording the snorer's concert is a wicked, but often effective method of dealing with the problem. When the snoring reaches peak levels, play back your recording at a volume to top it.

Finally, staggered bedtimes is recommended by several articles. If the audience retires before the show begin?, then they may sleep through the night's entertainment. Most snorees complain that they can't get to sleep because of snoring rather than being awakened during the night.

Snoring can be a serious conflict in the lives of j ■ roommates, spouses and anyone who has to sleep j within the confines of a persistent 5 p.m. work whistle. When the above methods provide no relief, do what I find works best — develop your] own bad nocturnal habits.

Chris has told me that I carry on unintelligible) conversations and kick the bed with gusto in my sleep on occasion. I'm on the top bunk and it always seems to wake him, which stops his snor-j ing.

Fight fire with fire.

Hoffman proves to be one helluvan actress By PAT BUTTERS

Tootsie clicks, and that's all there is to it.

The comic story of what happens when a difficult actor disguises himself as a woman to win the part of a fiery administrator on a soap opera is absolutely the best movie of 1982. Everything and everyone works well in this 116 minute-long film, and the subjects are approach- ed with dimension and maturity.

Besides that, it makes you laugh. Dustin Hoffman, the versatile ac-

tor whose last performance in Kramer vs. Kramer won him an Oscar, stars as Michael Dorsey, whose reputation as an actor forces him to support himself as a waiter and acting teacher. However, Michael is ignorant of others, especially women. Hoffman's first scenes as Miehael, arguing with directors and emphasizing to his students the rigors of acting, are convincing because that is Hoffman himself. Hoffman usually has creative control over his films and maintains a "screaming relation- ship" with his directors. Tootsie went through eight writers and three directors, and cost $21 million to make.

Michael's astonishing transforma- tion into Dorothy Michaels makes it all worth it. This is not Dustin Hoff- man in drag. This is Dustin Hoff-

man in the most challenging acting role of his career. Dorothy is a brunette, tough but lovable actress with a Southern accent. (Hoffman was coached in this voice by Polly Holiday, TV's Flo.) Hoffman cap- tures female mannerisms in a soft, subtle but not depreciatory way. His make-up took over a year to design and three hours each day to put on. Sometimes after shooting, Hoffman remained in costume to test his ap- pearance on his male friends. The result of these "experiments" is one of the film's funniest scenes.

Jessica Lange is warm and desirable as Julie, Dorothy's co-star on "Southwest General." Unaware that Dorothy is a man (?), Julie grows closer to her, much to the chagrin of her ass-grabbing, director-boyfriend Ron, well played by Dabney Col em an. Michael, on the other hand, falls in love with Julie.

The supporting cast is just that. Bill Murray is Michael's roommate Jeff, a nutty playwright. Jeff spellbinds friends at a party with his unique "philosophy." (He doesn't like it when people "dig" his plays. "I want people to come up after they see my play and say, 'Hey, I saw your play ... What, happened?'■")

'Shock of the New9 film series begins tonight in Duke

artfile An eight-week art film series begins tonight at

James Madison University. The series, titled "Shock of the New," opens at

7:30 p.m. with The Mechanical Paradise in room A-200 of the Duke Fine Arts Center.

Each week's hour-long film will be followed by a discussion led by art faculty members. The series, formerlyfeatured on public television stations, is a sequel to Kenneth Clark's Civilization.

Robert Hughes, art critic and senior writer for Time magazine, offers a controversial commentary as the series begins with the early 20th century and continues to the present. Social history is explored through various works of art and the impact of 20th century art is studied.

Other films to be shown this month include The Shapes of Dissent on Jan. 24 and The Landscape of Pleasure on Jan. 31.

There is no admission charge to the film series, which is sponsored by Kappa Pi art fraternity.

Chamber players to perform tonight

An evening of chamber music will be presented by the James Madison University Chamber Players at 8 p.m. tonight in Wilson Hall auditorium.

The program, part of JMU's Fine Arts Series, will include a variety of French, Japanese and Ger- man songs, carols and folk songs and operatic ex- cerpts.

A highlight of the evening will be the performance of Danny Boy, an old Irish air.'

General admission tickets are $4 each and are available from Charles Mathias in downtown Har-

risonburg, at Centerpoint Bookstore in-the Valley Mall, and at the office of the dean of JMU's School of Fine Arts and Communication.

Tickets are free for JMU faculty, staff and students and are available at the University Pro- gram Board office in the Warren Campus Center and at the office of the dean.

For additional information, call (703H33-6472.

Sawhill exhibition

Works of art by James Madison University art graduate students are on exhibit at JMU's Sawhill Gallery through Jan. 20.

An opening reception for the show is scheduled for 8 p.m. tonight at the gallery.

The Sawhill Gallery is open daily 8 a.m.-noon, 1-5 p.m. and weekends 1-5 p.m. There is no admission charge to gallery shows or opening receptions.

Tootsie (Continued from page 11)

Jeff is wary of Michael's new role, and when he enters their apartment to find an old actor chasing Michael (as Dorothy) around the room, he scolds Michael with a deadpan line that sends the audience rolling.

Murray wrote most of his own material in the movie, and it's too bad he's not seen more. He and Hof- fman are kind of a dynamic team, but that would have changed this film's focus.

Charles Durning's Les, Julie's

father, is a sincere and touching performance. John Van Horn, the ag- ing star of Southwest General, is also lovesick for Dorothy, but can only be laughed at thanks to George Gayne's brilliant portrayal.

Two final supporting roles worth mentioning are those by Teri Garr and Sydney Pollack. Pollack, the film's director, is surprisingly hysterical as Michael's fast-talking, seasoned agent George Fields. (Hof- fman begged Pollack to play the role.) GaiT is perfect as Sandy, the everywoman, an attractive but self- doubting woman who waits by the phone for Michael to call. But she tells him off with style and panache near the film's end.

The script by Murray Schisgel and MASH's Larry Gelbart is witty and believable.

Pollack's directing accounts for much of the film's fun, and he jux- taposes the film's music with an outrageous cover-photo session and the warm, slow-paced farm se- quence.

It's a shame that Tootsie is hilarious because its message' is undeniably effective. Michael realizes more about life just by putting himself in a woman's place. Michael's character is reminiscent of Hoffman's Ted Kramer, who found out the hard way what it was like to be a mother and found he enjoyed it.

He discovers that he appreciates

Julie's friendship, too. This film shows that lovers must be friends, also.

"I was a better man as a woman than I've ever been as a man with a woman," Michael says at one point. In other words, he doesn't have to be "macho" to be a man.

Tootsie offers you a choice. You can enjoy its message, the story of a man who discovers life through a woman's eyes, or you can enjoy it purely for the entertaining cast and funny situations. Or you can do both.

Tootsie can be seen at the Virginia Theater at 2, 4:30,7 and 9:10 p.m.

Defensive Dukes dominate ODU, 63-52 By DANNY FINNEGAN

Defense. It's always won basketball games for James Madison University and it always will as long as Lou Campanelli is the coach here. And it was defense that was the key in the Dukes' 63-S2 win over Old Dominion Saturday.

The 7,650 screaming fans that showed up at the Convocation Center and the others who watched on Channel 3 or ESPN were treated to good, old- fashioned JMU (7-6) basketball featuring a defense which constantly pressured, harrassed and hurried Old Dominion (8-2).

So good was the defense — it is third-ranked nationally — that the powerful Old Dominion offense, which is averaging 74 points per game, managed just four points in the first 12 minutes as JMU jumped out to a 22-4 lead.

Old Dominion guard Charlie Smith forced a bad shot on the Monarch's first possession, and on ODU's next.two possessions point guard Grant Robinson committed turnovers.

After another missed shot, Horace Lambert finally got Old Dominion on the scoreboard with a short jumper more than three minutes into the game. i

On its next possession Old Dominion's prized freshman, Ronnie Wade, received a warm welcome from the JMU crowd when he stepped to the free throw line and promptly missed both of his shots.

Old Dominion made only one of its next 10 shots and the Dukes took full advantage, using six points by Charles Fisher and four points each from Dan Ruland, Keith Bradley and Derek Steele to take a 22-4 load with eight minutes remaining. >*

"Our defense was tenacious for the first ten minutes," said Campanelli. "We got turnovers that gave us easy baskets, we kept the pressure on them constantly and we boxed out well. They were only getting one shot."

got off to such a fast start was simply respect for the Monarhcs. "They have such athletic ability that we had to control the tempo. We came out and we were up for this game. The respect of their

athletic ability gave us the intensity we needed." Old Dominion did rally late in the first half,

out scoring the Dukes 13-6 over the last eight minutes as Horace Lambert picked up six of 10 first-half points.

JMU still led by 11, 28-17, at halftime and the defense had pressured ODU into a horrible shooting performance. The Monarchy made just 29 percent of their shots (seven of 24) and their top three scorers — Mark West, Charlie Smith and Wade — combined for only two points in the first half.

"We didn't play West any differently," Cam- panelli said. "We collapsed around him, got help from the forwards and the guards. We didn't tiy to do anything but play good post defense.

"Danny (Ruland) and Keith (Bradley) are both better defensive players thait they get credit for."

West, who sat out the last seven minutes of the first half after picking up his second foul, finished with 10 points and eight rebounds.

In the second half Old Dominion could never cut the lead below eight points. Old Dominion could only get closer than 10 points six times.

Old Dominion's biggest chance came five minutes into the half when West made a three- point play to cut the lead to nine. But Fisher cann- ed a long jumper from the left corner to put JMU ahead 41-30.

ODU again cut the lead to nine on a jumper by Lambert but Bob Donohoe answered with a 12-footer. At the other end of the court West made two free throws but Fisher hit another long jumper to put JMU back up by II and JMU scored the next four points on baskets by Steele and Donohoe.

Ruland led JMU for the game with 16 points and seven rebounds. Steele, ESPN's MVP, had 14 points and three assists, Fisher 13 points and four assists and Donohoe had 10 points and six rebounds.

JMU controls Monarchs; team effort keys easy win

Dan Ruland was aaaaaaad a tachnlcal foul for grabbing the rim on this play. (Photo by Hank Ebert)

By STEVE LOCKARD The JMU Dukes beat Old Dominion

University Saturday night. It was as simple as that. From start to

finish, JMU dominated the Monarchs in every phase of the game, defeating them 63-52 before a JMU Convocation Center crowd of 7,650 and a national television audience.

But going into the game, it wasn't supposed to be that way. Old Dominion, behind All- America candidate Mark West, was 8-1 (its loss was to Virginia) and rolling.

On the other hand, the Dukes, at 6-6, were struggling. They had lost five of their seven games over break, including all four tournament games and their ECAC South opener to East Carolina.

"The Christmas tournaments were a learning experience for us," said JMU coach Lou Campanelli. "Sometimes you have to go through the storm to get to the clear skies.

"These kids have a helluva a lot of fight in them and we can play ball. It just took a little longer for the team to put it together."

And it does appear that JMU has indeed

"put it together." The ODU win, combined with the 84-59 rout over the University of Maine on Tuesday, seems to prove that point.

"I think the Maine game really turned the corner for us," said JMU senior forward Bob Donohoe, who came off the bench against ODU to score 10 points and grab six rebounds in 27 minutes' of action.

Donohoe has emerged as an unlikely hero for the Dukes. Going into the season, he wasn't expected to see much playing time, but after his solid performance during the past month (nine points against highly- ranked Iowa and 12 points against UNC- Wilmington), it looks like he will remain in the rotation.

"Bob has proven himself and he can really help us," Campanelli said. "We're going to keep him in that sixth man role and he knows he's going to play."

Donohoe scored eight of his 10 points in the second half and he was a primary reason that the Monarchs could get no closer than eight points.

Wrestlers rebound to tie Virginia Tech By TIM DANCY

BLACKSBURG — Entering Friday night's match against Virginia Tech, the JMU wrestling team was still suffering from injuries, two disap- pointing holiday tournament performances, and a 31-17 Wednesday night loss to ODU at Godwin Hall.

But the Dukes bounced back, overcame a 16-point Tech lead, and earned a 23-23 tie against in-state rival Hokies. m

The match was held at Cassell Coliseum before a crowd of about 400. Entering the meet, JMU was ranked second in the state and Tech fifth. Tech was also coming off a 26-13 defeat to nationally- ranked North Carolina.

The Dukes began their match with Tech by forfeiting at 118 pounds. JMU might be forced to forfeit this class for the rest of the season unless someone can replace Scott Palmer, who is out for the season with a broken Finger.

After Mike Harrigan (15-11) dropped a 17-6 decision to Richard Coates at 126 pounds, Bob Carmichael (16-6-1) earned the Dukes their First two team points.

Carmichael came back from a 2-0 deficit to earn a 3-3 tie with Jason Diggs. Diggs was a second place Finisher at the Millersville Invitational and was champion at the Clemson Invitational this year.

Freshmen sensation Tony Gentile (14-5) got the Dukes' first wih with a convincing 6-3 win over Chris Taylor at 142 pounds.

This was only the second time Gentile had wrestled since recovering from a virus over the holiday break.

After Gentile's match, the Dukes went on a three-match skid that handed them a 16-point deficit. John Arceri (150 lbs.) escaped with a 4-4 tie with Dominick Porcelli.

At 158 pounds Art Bair was pinned by Maryland

Open champ Rob Fair, and John Cheeks (167 lbs.) lost 15-10 to Vic Amada.

Down 23-7, the Dukes had to pin at least two of their fast three opponents to win the match. They did just that as Dari Corbin (19-4-1) took just 55 seconds pinned Page Horton at 177 pounds.

In the meet's final match, heavyweight Dav^ Stanton (13-5) pinned Ken Barnes in 4:20. >

Stanton's pin capped the tie for the Dukes, but it was Phil Rice's win at 190 pounds which gave the Dukes a shot at the tie.

In a spectacular and controversial match, Rice (10-8) took down Van Miles three times in the last period for a 12-4 decision, giving the Dukes a four- point win.

Originally, Rice was awarded an 11-4 decision which gave the Dukes only three team points. But after several minutes of conferring with JMU Head Coach Dick Besnier, referee Rick Schilling awarded Rice two points instead of one on a stall- ing penalty against Miles.

When the match was originally anounced as 11-4, Besnier had the score retallied, and Rice was given the additional point which meant JMU received foiur points for a major decision intead of three for a decision.

Rice's match, along with Stanton's pin, gave the Dukes the 23-23 tie.

The match left the Hokies 0-1-1 while JMU is 2-1-1.

Mount St. Mary's hands women 5th straight loss By DAN WALLACE

James Madison University's womens basketball team dropped their fifth straight game Saturday, losing to Division 11 power Mount St. Mary's 80-57.

The Dukes were outclassed by Mount St. Mary's, the NCAA Divi- sion II runner-up last season, accor-

ding to head coach Sheila Moorman. "They were too quick for us, and

(they were) great passers. We knew what they were going to do, but we just couldn't execute," Moorman said.

The Dukes, who never led in the game, trailed at halftime 39-30. They shot 38 percent from the field in the

JMU guard Mary Gilllgan contributed 15 points in the Dukes loes Saturday. (Photo by Hank Ebert)

first half; 36 percent for the game. Mount St. Mary's, on the other

hand, made over 50 percent of its field goal attempts in both halves and shot 54 percent for the game. Four of the Mountaineer starters scored in double figures.

Freshman forward Dorothea Beck, Mount St. Mary's leading scorer this year, had 19 points and made six of eight shots from the field. She also had 11 rebounds. Junior forward Karla Green made seven of 10 shots and finished with 16 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals.

Junior guard Tina Hodgson scored 17 points and freshman center Bernadine Bocus added 13 points.

The Dukes have been shooting poorly since the Christmas break. Moorman attributes this to a lack of concentration.

"Before Christmas, concentration and desire enabled us to overachieve and intensify the action of the game. I haven't seen those traits since," she said.

Guards Sue Manelski and Mary Gilligan led the Dukes in scoring with 15 points each and Manelski also had five assists. Center Michclc James added 13 points and had eight rebounds. Forward Sue Flynn led the Dukes in rebounding with nine and scored six points.

Moorman also cited Manelski's

drop in scoring (from 19.3 to 15.6 points per game) as a reason for the Dukes offensive problems.

"We depend on her and Michelle James to score a lot of points for us. Our opponents have realized that and have been keying heavily on them," said Moorman.

This was evident against Mount St. Mary's Saturday. Manelski and James had two or three defenders on them as soon as they touched the ball. If not for some fine outside shooting from point guard Mary Gilligan, the Dukes problems would have been even greater.

The Dukes also have been feeling the effects of the loss of captain Dean a Meadows. She has been out for six weeks with a fractured bone in her foot and began practice again Monday. It is not known yet whether the doctors will allow hex to play for the remainder of the season.

Meadows, a 6-foot senior center, broke her leg after the Dukes second game. She had 37 points and 22 rebounds in JMU's first two games.

The loss dropped the Dukes record to 4-9. They return to action Wednesday when they play host to East Tennessee State University.

Moorman encourages the fans not to give up on the Dukes just yet. "We're working hard to build a program here and need some encourage- ment," she said. .

"This is the longest time that I've been unin- jured," Donohoe said. "At the beginning of the year I wasn't playing much, but I just stuck with it. The coach is showing a lot of confidence in me."

Donohoe is just dne of many reasons for the Dukes' fine performance last week. Another is the switch of Charles Fisher from point guard to shooting guard.

The move lessens Fisher's ball handling respon- sibilities, giving him more opportunity to shoot, and that is something he loves to do.

"I think it's really going to help," Fisher said. "I feel I can shoot from anywhere."

Fisher was instrumental in the Dukes' quick start. He scored six points in the first 11 minutes as JMU jumped out to a 22-4 lead. Four of those came on long-range jump shots and the other two on a one-handed slam dunk that sent the JMU crowd into a frenzy.

"I wanted to slam just to show everyone I can jump," Fisher said. •

In the second half, the 6-foot-2 guard added two more jumpers and a three-point play, finishing the contest with 13 points.

"Fisher's jump shots were very, very key," Campanelli said. "They kept us up by 10 or 11 when ODU was coming back. I hope he's got that confidence back. We need it."

« Against ODU, the Dukes got something else that was very badly needed — a total team perfor-

mance. Everyone that entered the game for JMU contributed.

Perfect examples of making the most of their playing time were freshmen William Hughes and Eric Esch. Although neither player more than four minutes, each of them made big plays.

Early in the first half, Hughes, who is emerging as JMU's fourth guard, converted a long pass from Dan Ruland into two points, increasing JMU's lead to 12-4.

Esch's big play came in the second half when he hit Fisher with a back-door pass under the basket. Fisher was fouled on the play and his three-point play gave JMU a 16-point advantage, its biggest lead in the second half.

"I was very pleased with everyone's performance," Campanelli said. "Everybody who came in the game did a good job."

sportsfile Hayes takes two firsts as JMU tough in field

Led by Reggie Hayes, the JMU men's indoor track team turned in a strong field event performance but still finished third in a tri-mcct held in State College, Pa., this weekend.

The Dukes 32 Vi points placed them behind meet winner Penn State University and runner-up Rutgers University.

"We did real well in the field events, " said JMU coach Ed Wkt. "That was our strength, but they were too strong in the running events.

"Penn State was extremely good in the distance events and Rutgers was powerful in the sprints."

Hayes finished first in both the long jump (24- Vi) and the high jump (6-IOI/2) for the Dukes. JMU's Ther- ron Phipps placed second in the long jump at 23-11 and Danny Little came in third in the high jump with a leap of 6-6.

The Dukes had an exceptionally strong performance in the tnpple jump as Percy Barnett (46-!U'/2), Greg Wright (46-8) and Art Lynch (43-3Vi) took the top three places.

N il Freeman, with a vault of 15 feet, finished first in the pole vault while Jeff Wallin's toss of 51-4 earned him third place in the shot put.

The women's indoor team, com-

peting against the same schools, were not quite as successful. The Dukes gathered just nine points, finishing thrid behind Penn State (75) and Rutgers (67).

"We are not at that level of competition yet to be able to fare well in scoring," said JMU coach Lynn Smith. "We had some good performances and we also showed where we need work."

JMU's top performers were Lisa Diggs, who finished second in the long jump at 18-6, and Cindy Slagle, who placed third in the mile- with a time of 4:57.1.

McMillin honored JMU football coach Challace

McMillin has been named the Virginia major college football Coach of the Year by the Richmond Touchdown Club.

McMillin, the only head coach JMU has had in 11 seasons of football, coached the Dukes to an 8-3 record in their third year at the Divi- sion I-AA level.

McMillin, who twice won the Virginia college division Coach of the Year when the Dukes were at the Division III level, has a career record of 58-43-1.

Make it fair

Honor system "Honesty pays.

Kin Hubbard

While the Studen^ Handbook might state it more eloquently, the role of the Honor Council is to punish those students who find honesty "don't seem to pay enough." But there are unnecessary barriers to the Honor Council's at- tempt to fulfill this role.

Honor Council President Tim Reynolds points out that while the honor system here is supposed to be student-run, the university president has the power to supersede the council's decisions and has done so in the past.

Reynolds would like to see some changes, and so would we.

Here is the problem with the cur- rent system: University Preside Ronald Carrier can give special treatment to a student by changing a penalty or changing the terms of a penalty. According to Reynolds, Carrier changed that penalty twice last year.

As it stands, the honor system is compromised. Because of the honor system's adherence to confidentiality we do not know the full reasoning behind Carrier's decisions to change certain penalties. It is possible that he would be tempted to treat certain

ut itdtm 7 seem to pay enough to suit some people." —

students different from others. But if we are to have a fair honor system, then no student — a sports star, an SGA member, a child from a rich family, or an editor on The Breeze — should be abpve it.

In any appeal process, the right to overturn a conviction should be present. But if the university president reaches this conclusion, then he should be required to justify himself to the council in writing, citing evidence that made him find a student innocent.

The Honor Advisory Board should devise and enact a proposal to^hhut-the^president's power. Sflch a proposal would have to be approved by Carrier, but he has said, "I would respect whatever the Honor Council directed me to do."

The honor system is supposed to be run by students. Limiting the president's power would be a step in that direction and would make the system fairer.

The above editorial was written by The Breeze's editorial editor, Greg Hender- son. It is the opinion of Henderson; the editor, Chris Kouba; the managing editor, Jill Howard; and editorial assistant, Ross Richardson.

'How was your vacation?' — Don't ask! By PAT BUTTERS

It's that time of year again — few of us want to be back. But returning to JMU is dreaded not only for reasons you may think: busy schedules, lack of television time, unpacking, playing games at parties, or of course, the food. Actually it is the following query that instills the most fear and anx- iety in our hearts:

"How was your vacation?" With all the advancements of mankind — the

technological breakthroughs, the artificial heart, home computers, laser satellites and saran wrap — we have yet to find an adequate answer to that oft- repeated, yet mind boggling question. Here are typical replies:

KS "Fine." "Pretty good." "Pretty good. .

± "All right." And finally, the ever-popular: "Uh . . . okay.

. . . How was"yours?" I guess people are afraid to reveal how dull they

are, so they avoid answering what they really feel: . - "I did nothing over Christmas. Did you hear

me? Nothing!!" "I worked all vacation and * hated every

minute!" "I watched TV. . . Do you know that Chip and

Ernie on "My Three Sons" are actually brothers in re»l life? Wow!!"

\ Pretty good."

"I slept and drank beer (belch)." "Thanks for reminding me!! I wish I were back

with my dog, Barney!" But we know that this doesn't only happen after

Christmas. Let's see how many of these Top 10 hits you remember:

"How was your summer?" "How was your spring break?" "How was your Halloween?" "How was your weekend?" "How was-your week?" Are we that hard-up for things to talk about,

America? I say "NO!!" And it's not our fault! We are conditioned by family members and peer groups. Just go to a family or high schoof reunion. I guarantee you will be required to explain to everyone what you've been doing at college (with a straight face); what you'll do in the next 10 years, your future spouse's income (whether you have one or not), how many kids you will h'ave, and where you plan to retire.

Maybe people are afraid to talk to each other. Perhaps it is the fear of being reproached for "let- ting ii all hang put." A classic example can be found in the response to " the music question." We all are familiar with it. Ask something as simple as, "what kind of music do you like?" and usually the reply wijl be: "Well . . ." The person looks at his feet, and then comes the witty response: "I like all kinds."

What are we afraid of? That we'll burn in hell because we enjoy the Sex Pistols? That we'll get ar- rested because of our musical tastes? It's okay to love Barry Manilow, people!

Fear is not the only reason communication is lax. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in ourselves that we just don't take the time to listen to people. Isn't it amazing how much you can learn from others, simply by asking them a thought provoking question? What? you mean you've never tried it? Shame on you.

"The man who thinks only of himself is hopelessly uneducated," wrote Dr. Nicholas Mur- ray Butler, former president of Columbia Univer- sity. Dale Carnegie advised that if you want to be a good conversationalist, you have to be a good, sincere listener.

* The next time you see someone you know, show them that you really care (sending a Hallmark card just isn't enough!) Stop them, look them in the eye, and ask yixb feeling, "How have you been?"

If you're like ms, nine times out of 10 that person will reply: "What drugs are you on?" (I think there are other reasons people ask me that.) But occasionally that person will appreciate the time you take to show how much you care. And that makes it all worth it.

Readers' Forum CampuScene lives To the editor:

1 read with interest your story about the JMU Video Co-op (The Breeze, Nov. 22.). I think it's great to see a student production possibly making it on cable television. But there were some major inaccuracies in the story.

The story states, "a weekly videotaped student news program called CampuScene began production last spring but was short lived, producing only one show."

As the creator, director and pro- ducer of CampuScene, I point out that we did not produce just one show — we produced three. The reason there were only three is that we ran out of time as the semester ended.

We began putting CampuScene together after spring break; leaving us less than eight weeks to plan, produce and tape a program that students had not done before. Work- ing within the obvious time constraints and other equally serious constraints, we were able to produce three 30-minute programs.

Obviously these were not of broadcast quality. They were however of fine enough quality to show the administration that

# students were capable of producing their own television program. That was our sole intention. CampuScene was not meant to be broadcast or even cablecast. It was simply a pilot — a successful pilot that we hoped would eventually grow, refine and define itself.

One final point. The program was not produced this semester due probably to one major factor — it s leadership, or nine-tenths of it at least, graduated last May. I am extremely confident that, if we had not graduated, CampuScene would have been capable of being cablecast by January.

To use the phrase-"short-lived," with its obvious connotations of failure, is not only inaccurate but an insult to the 20-or-so people who were dedicated to CampuScene's success. It would not be false to say that if it wasn't for CampuScene the Video Co-op would probably not ex- ist today. So even in this sense Cam- puScene wasn't short-lived — it lives on.

I wish the members of the program much success and hope their participation is as valuable to them as mine was to me. Charles A. Fazio

Jehovah's Witness claims neutrality is not cowardice To the editor:

Because of my j^Rgious convic-^ tions I could not have anything to do with supporting a war. But I do not consider this cowardice, as does Dan Eagle in his Dec. 6 letter to the editor in The Breeze.

' Mr. Eagle is entitled to his opinion, but I would like to express my beliefs as well. As one of Jehovah's Witnesses 1 am totally neutral in politics. Jehovah's Witnesses do not vote or support any political systems in any country. Communist or free.

We obey all laws unless they are in opposition to our higher authority, God. We do not kill our brothers for mere political reasons. If everyone

was like us there would be no wars. We are not cowards. We have fought court battles, served jail terms, and suffered persecution and death in Nazi concentration camps and under similar regimes in other nations.

Our work is banned or attacked in several nations even today. But we continue our work. Mr. Eagle is willing to fight for his beliefs, and we are willing to fight for ours — we just work in different ways

Our forefathers fought for religious freedom and tolerance. Let's continue the tradition and not condemn others for their beliefs. Heather Polzin

Who's this heartless 'Man of the Year?' By LISA JENNINGS m

What does it mean when Time magazine names a computer,"Man of the Year"? To science fiction fans it may sug- gest the downfall of humanity. But it is a sign of the times which notes a serious change in the way we live. A computer is a better man than any of us.

This Christmas, many computers found new homes — ours. As everyone gathered 'round to become more aquainted with this pretentious piece of progress, those of us who do not like computers were forced to confront reality: Computers have become a very important part of our society.

Harlan Cleveland, a political scientist and public executive, writes in last month's issue of The Futurist magazine that we have evolved from an "industrial" society to an "information" society. He states that more than SO percent of American workers are engaged in some sort of information work, as opposed to production of tangible things that can be "mined, processed, bought, sold, managed, and easily understood."

Cleveland writes: "While having fewer laborers in production and more in services is not new, what is new is the pace of change made possible by the converging revolutions of computers and telecommunications along with the dawning mass realization that something very large and important is occurring under our very noses."

Johnny may not be able to read, but he can program a computer to play 'Frogger meets ET7

The lack of demand for blue-collar workers in an ailing economy leaves us with an alarming rate of unemployment. Yet, there are pages of help-wanted ads, as our president repeatedly points out. But these jobs call for skilled, highly-trained technicians — especially ones with an advanced knowledge of computers.

College students like myself, who have diligently avoided taking any computer course, may feel an inkling of the generation gap as we watch our younger siblings use a computer with confidence and ease. These high-tech tots were born and raised in a technological world that we must adapt to. Computers now are being used at all grade levels. Our baby brothers and sisters will bounce confidently into the job market, having worked with computers in the same way we worked with spelling blocks and crayons.

Yet, statistics show literary rates for these future leaders of America declining. Johnny may not be able to read, but he can program a computer to play "Frogger meets E.T."

I prefer life human and simple. I wonder if a computerized society could stay that way. Yet, I have to confess that I consider it foolish to try to ignore the tremendous impact computers exert on our lives. Television changed the world, and whether it was for better or not, it has had an influence that is almost impossible to avoid. Those who have resisted a basic understanding of the role television plays cannot understand society as a whole. In the same manner, if we refuse to acknowledge the role of the computer we will not be facing the real world.

For those of us who have to catch up to our younger competition, perhaps more college level courses could be offered. Something practical, like, "Computer for the Technologically Ner- vous," or, "PASCAL for Peasants," would be a start.

Now is the time to learn, for it is just the beginning. It would be wise to become more familiar with our "Man of the Year." My only hope is that the lullabies of tomorrow will not go like this:

Hush little darlin', don't you worry. Mama's gonna buy you a nice Atari. And if that Atari won't play "Space Shooter," Mama's gonna buy you an Apple computer. And if that Apple won't program to FORTRAN, Mama's gonna buy you an IBM. And if you want color graphics to see, Mama's gonna buy you an Olivetti. 0 So hush.little darlin' don't have a fit. Mama will make you computer literate.

nation Social Security plan drafted

WASHINGTON (AP) — Drafters of a $169 billion plan to rescue Social Security con- cede it has something for almost everyone to dislike, but they say the reluctant support of President Reagan and House Speaker Thomas O'Neill Jr. should help it pass Congress.

Government workers, small business and organizations representing retired people already have said they will try to pressure Con- gress to change or drop the package, which would affect nearly all taxpayers and retirees, some as early as this summer.

It includes a speed-up in scheduled increases in the payroll tax, taxing benefits received by upper- and middle-income retirees, a one-time six-month delay in this July's cost-of-living increase and an expansion of Social Security

coverage to new federal employees beginning in 1984.

In addition to generating $169 billion in new revenues and savings over the next seven years, experts say that, barring severe economic con- ditions, the compromise also would keep the Social Security system in the black for at least 50 years.

The package was approved by the Social Security reform commission on a 12-3 vote Saturday night following days of negotiations with White House officials.

Alan Greenspan, an economist who heads the commission, previously said the session would be a "critical one," since the commission was scheduled to go out of business Satur- day, and negotiations had been fruitless.

The government is warning owners of at least 320,000 General Motors Corp. cars that the vehicles might have a brake defect.

The 1980 model X-Body cars have not been recalled, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administra- tion has scheduled a meeting to decide if they should be.

X-Body cars included are the Chevrolet Citation, Pon- tiac Phoenix, Oldsmobile Omega, and the Buick Skylark.

The defect which might cause the brakes to lock prematurely, sending the car into a dangerous spin.

President Reagan says reports of White House disorganization are er- roneous.

Reagan defended his leadership during a visit to

the White House press room Friday in response to reports about White House disarray, especially reports of policy changes and disorganization in completing the 1984 budget.

"I don't believe that philosophically I have changed at all," he said.

The president pointed-mil. that although he asks for dif- fering opinions on issues, "I make the decisions around here."

The nation marked the 54th birthday of the late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Satur- day.

The son of the slain civil rights leader said America "still has some rivers to cross" in the quest for racial equality. Martin Luther King III, 25, commented that "we have people in this nation go hungry each day. Yet we seem

to want to spend our money on missiles, bombs and guns for self-destruction."

Schools were closed Friday in several states as a holiday in remembrance of King.

Inflation slowed in December and industrial out- put is slipping at a slower rate than in previous months.

This could mean "good news for the economy," according to White House sources, or the low point of the recession, according to Allen Sinai, an economist.

Wholesale prices rose the smallest monthly increase since 1971, when wage and price controls were in effect part of the year.

Most economists expect a modest increase in the GNP this quarter.

The average property tax rate in Virginia dropped last year, but the decline probably did not lower homeowners' taxes.

A University of Virginia study showed the average real estate property tax in 1982 declined five cents per $100 of assessed, value in,Virginia counties and eight cents per $100 in cities.

"The reason for the drop is that localities were probably adjusting for the effects of reassessment. Although tax rates are lower, a homeowner's tax bill may have increased due to reassessment," said Albert W. Spengler, who compiled the study.

Vepco's plan to store nuclear waste in Louisa County has county officials upset.

Louisa County has spent more than $96,000 in an unfinished legal battle with its largest taxpayer, Virginia Electric & Power Co.

Vepco sued the county in an effort to overturn Louisa's ban on accepting nuclear waste from a plant from outside the county.

More than 108 tons of drugs were seized by the Coast Guard off. the mid-Atlantic coast in 1982.

In all, 70 people were charged or convicted in U.S. District Court in Norfolk on international drug-smuggling charges during the year, and over $86 million worth of contraband was seized, most destined for the Chesapeake Bay area.

The major factor in rising legal costs is the increasing time it fakes for civil cases to move through state and federal courts.

Panelists at a Virginia Bar Association conference in Williamsburg said the problem is, "too many cases clogging court dockets, too much time spent on each case and too many laywers."

Former Virginia Attorney General An- drew P. Miller said, "The situation in the circuit courts is worse. In 1966 there were 70,000 cases commenced. In 1982 that number rose to 149,000."

world Reagan vows arms talks

WASHINGTON (AP) - Saying arms control is the world's "most important" problem, President Reagan has vowed that the United States will keep negotiating with the Soviets as long as there is a chance to reduce weapons.

Reagan, who reaffirmed his commitment to arms control Fri- day, aiso denied that removal7 of U.S. arms control director Eugene V. Rostow reflects confusion within the administration. Reagan expressed confidence in his principal negotiators, Paul Nitze and Edward •Rowny.1 "I'm Convinced that with them we can"succeed."

Reagan said the prospects of an

arms control agraement are better today than when he took office, Until he ordered a defense buildup, Reagan said, the Soviets "had all the marbles."

"We're in a position to get "somewhere and I'm determined we shall," Reagan said.

Intermediate-rage Nuclear Forces talks are Scheduled to resume in Geneva Jan. 27. Nitze heads the U.S. delegation to those talks that deal with nuclear missiles in Europe.

Rowny leads the U.S. team at the Strategic Arms*'Reduction Talks, START, which re-open Feb. 3.

The Lebanese government is set- ting up negotiations for the removal of Syrian and Palestinian forces In Lebanon.

Also, talks with Israel will be held aimed at the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the country, officials said.

Late Friday, U.S. special envoy Philip Habib met with Lebanese President Amin Gemayel to ac- celerate Israeli withdrawal talks.

Habib hopes to prod Israeli and Lebanese negotiators into an agreement that would prdvide for the start of the withdrawal of foreign troops by Feb.. 12.

There are an estimated 25,000 Israeli, 30,000 Syrian and 6,000 Palestine Liberation Organization troops in Lebanon. ~"*i

The Soviet Union said Saturday that the fuel core of a falling nuclear-powered satellite will enter the earth's atmosphere in mid- February.

The Soviet news agency Tass said most of the radioactive fallout from the fuel core of Cosmos-1402 will burn up or be dispersed into fine particles posing little threat to life.

On Jan. 7, the Soviets confirmed UTS. Defense Department claims that the satellite was falling from orbit, but they said ground con- trollers separated the reactor from the rest of the craft for safety.

Tass said the main part of the Cosmos' structure will enter the atmosphere "late in January."
