Governor Thornburgh

On - January 23rd, GovernorDick Thornburgh held a newsconference for Pennsylvania col-lege newspaper editors to answerquestions from college com-munities in the state. !i EMercyhurst was representedby Merciad editor, Rebecca L.Martin, who 'joined 35 othereditors in Harrisburg for thegovernor's conference. * ^m"The conference was a ques-tion and answer session betweenthe governor and the editors,"said Martin. "Most of the ques-tions dealt with funding." S?She explained what Thorn-burgh hadto say about increasesin the Penn sylvan ia! HigherEducation Assistance Program.

I "The governor says the firstf)riority must be students fromow income families. If there isan increase in PHEA moneys, itwill go to this group before anyother." ? IThe governor also spoke abouttuition increases in both state andprivate institutions. Martin saidthe governor realizes that Penn-sylvania ranks 5th highest in tui-tion costs in the country. But, heinsists those costs are "commen-surate with the rate of inflation"and that "strong grant and loanprograms offered in Penn-sylvania offset rising tuition."

Martin said as a student in aprivate college she was distress-

ed to learn the governor's opon state funding for prschools. "He thinks that prschools prefer to seek funthrough other means thanstate, since the consequencsuch aid is the state's intruinto the affairsj of Jthejstitutions." ? *Martin says the governor'sference was a good idea in pr

ple but it could have been mworthwhile. "A two-hourference was not enough timafford any real interaction ween the editors themselvesthe governor. A seminar foris what is really needed to othe lines of communication."photo by M. L. Martin

^ Some random i thoughts I thisweek .. ,J{ ^Last week was a big newsweek, with the major story spill-ing over into this week. The 52American! hostages are nothostages any more, and we findthe country once again unitedunder a common bona. That com-mon bond is colored yellow, andErie lis.; no exception. Homes,businesses and people all haveyellow bows on display, and Ithink it's good to see a publicdisplay of relief for the saferelease of the 52. Let's just hopethat*the current wave ofpatriotism is, a lasting one, andnot one that disappears soon afterthe cause is no more, f ik" vFrom fact to fiction . . . thehostage situation has surfaced inthe comic pages of some of ournation's newspapers. The comicstrip I refer to is *'Doonesbury'\which appears locally in the ErieDaily-Times. Regular readerswill recall the character "Duke".Duke can best be described as adrug-ingesting diplomat whodoes not like John Denver music.Oyer* the past several years,we've seen Duke in such positionsas the appointed. governor ofAmerican Samoa and am-bassador to Mainland China.Duke's most recent project wasin Iran, although I'm not exactlysure of what he w as doing there.Doones bury aut hor GaryTrudeau has a knack for weavingcurrent events into nls story Tine,and Duke made his appearancein Iran soon after the crisis thereunfolded. g ' | a& Well, life is not all rosy in thecomic pages. The last we saw ofDuke, he was on a rooftop in Iran,facing a firing squad. That was along time ago, .and it appearedthat Duke would be no more.That is, until early this week,when the "53rd hostage" emerg-ed in the comic strip. Early thispast week, negotiations wereunderway to release the "BaldSpy", so maybe we'll be seeingDuke once again. Stay tuned forfurther developments.Back to reality once again. TheU.S. .Supreme Court gave amuch-needed boost to the newsmedia earlier this week whenthey ruled that states a re free toallow radio, television and still-photography coverage in the

court rooms, even when defen-dants object to such coverage.The court said that such broad-cast and photographic coveragedoes not automatically interferewith a defendant's right to a fairtrial.Students of the Constitutionrealize that the battle betweenthe first and fifth amemdments isone that will never be solved com-pletely, as both are based in fun-damental -rights.;Quite simply,the first amendment quaranteesfree speech, l while the* fifthamendment guarantees the rightto a fair trial. The court now saysthat broadcast coverage of ac r i m i n a l t r i a l d o e s n o tAUTOMATICALLY interferewith a defendant's right to a fairand impartial proceeding.This ruling is a step in me rightdirection for a number ofreasons. The ruling upholdsseveral state laws that presentlyallows the camera in the court-room. It also opens the door forother states to enact their ownguidelines lan d recommenda-tions, if they so desire. But, moreimportantly, it keeps the fair trialjudgment where if belongs, withthe judge presiding over the case.Under this week's ruling, ajudge can still close the pro-ceedings to the cameras if hebelieves such coverage would af-fect the right to a fair trial. Thekey point is the judge is the onewho makes the decision, not thedfcf6fldarit?Tftrfe defendantweregiven that right to decide, thenwe might as well h ave, closedtrials upon request; tha t would bethe next logical step, given such aprecedent. J ? , ;Seeing a criminal trial can bean eye-opening experience andcoverage of such proceedings cangive that experience to those whootherwise may not get a chanceto see a real legal proceeding.Here's one voice who hopes thatPennsylvania soon enacts somesort of broadcast access law tothe courtroom; I wonder how theErie media would handle it.

Jean Duffy, who prefers to beknown simply as "Duff, describ-ed her "living with it and makethe best of it" attitude.

TalkinglHeads ^Produce New Sounds;Aim For African Touch In Music BlRby James N. Kopchuk craftcL- *

Quite some time has elapsedconcerning the article-publishedon a pop bandfiltrating nto oursociety known as the B-52's.I was not surprised when it wasfound that pubfic knowledge wasnon-existent as to the definition ofa B-52. Well, now that it has beenestablished bands nave begun tostylize their music into a flawlessentity, the Talking Heads havefurther developed their talents bynot only adding five newmembers to the band, but by alsoadding - new and fascinatingrhythms to their music with aflair of technical innovation.The original members, DavidByrne, on guitar, Jerry Harrisonon keyboards and the husband-

wife team of Tina Weymouth(bass) and Chris Frantz (drums)have taken an African approachto music, f" * fIn a recent Newsweek inter-view with Barbara Graustark,Byrne' commented. "In theAfrican tradition, we had to learnwhen not to play, and that goesagainst a rock musician'scapitalistic way of thinking,which is to get as much as youcan for yourself.* In sacrificingour egos for mutual cooperation,we got something - dare I say it?- spiritual."Their latest release, "Remainin light", on Sire Records, hascertainly proved their diverseabilities as musicians.

There are nowords to describe Just how sh edominated the game. But Lindascored 21 of her team's 31 pointsand had a hand in the remainingpoints for her team. ., jjOther noteworthy perfor-mances include Jim Daley's 23point performance in leading theFighting Rebels past the BlueDemons 51-40 and Carla Smith's18 points as her Super Macsbreezed past the B-3's. *Congratulations to JamesDouglass and Linda Rockymorefor being featured in this week'sIntramural Spotlight.
