Club debt responsibility questionedby Glen Chase

Staff writer

Whose responsibility are debts run up byclubs at UMO?

The UMO student government cabinet isunsure and Student Government PresidentDavid Spellman said he is going to seek anopinion from Chalmers Hardenburgh ofStudent Legal Services.

Spellman. speaking at the cabinet'sregular weekly meeting said. "What weare doing is policy'• in referring to arequest from the UMO Lacrosse Club toreallocate $2,100 to pay off debts incurredby the group.

"Technically, I don't think we areresponsible. but who is?' • Spellman said.

Kevin Colley. a lacrosse club representa-tive, said the club originally owed morethan S3.100 to the Brine Company forequipment and to the University MotorPool.

The debt to the Brine Company has beenreduced to $1,000. Colley estimated theclub can operate for the rest of thissemester on approximately $800.

Spellman said he was worried aboutother groups accruing large debts andwhether or not student government isresponsible for them. Any further. actionwas tabled until the lega situation iscleared up.

In other action, the cabinet reallocatedS610 in the budget of the UMO FraternityBoard, approving and additional $500 for

Student senate meetingsparks heavy criticismby Stephen Olver

Staff writer

Tuesday night's student senate defeat ofa proposal which would have allowed thestudent body to decide the issue ofPanhellenic representation on the cabinethas received wide-spread criticism."Most senators made totally irrational

arguments and voted only on theiremotions." Student Government PresidentDavid Spellman said Wednesday. "It'sunfortunate and really bothers me the waythe senate acted."Former Student Government Vice Pres-

ident Steve Bucherati also criticized thesenate vote."I was embarrassed and disgusted."

Bucherati said. '•1 used to be tremendouslyproud of the student senate, but right nowI'm glad to be out of it."

Bucherati noted that only a month and a

half ago. the senate sent two questions toreferendum, dealing with a possibleolympic boycott and draft registration."However, when it comes to an issue

that is of vital importance right here oncampus, the senate feels it's unimpor-tant." he said.

Bucherati also commented that admini-strators. Thomas Aceto, Dwight Rideoutand Prof. Paul Camp. all present at themeeting, probably left with a negativefeeling about the senate.

"It will be a long while before the senategains respect in the eyes of the admini-stration." he said.

Panhellenic Council President LaurenHendrickson echoed Bucherati 's feelings."I feel very had about the defeat mostly

because, as a student. I felt like I wasslapped in the face,- Henderson said.She called it another example of the

A question of survivalby Glen Chase

Staff Writer

With the fate of UMO's elm treesup in the air, the director of theDutch Elm Disease research pro-gram called the problem a questionof aesthetics vs. tree survival.

Richard J. Campana. professor ofbotany and forest pathology, said hisgoal as a biologist was tree survival.while the goal of the grounds andservices department is that ofhomogenuity on the UMOlandscape."I would like to have the elms

forever because they are a testimonyto our research." Campana said. Headded "the fat will be in the fire"this June if any of the trees becomeinfected with the disease.Campana said Associate Professor

James Swasey, a landscaping con-sultant to the grounds and servicesdepartment. will look on any infec-tion this summer as a cause toremove a tree. On the other hand.Campana said he would "look at it asa challenge to save it.""The elms on campus are con•

sidered to be healthy where theDutch Elm Disease is concerned,"he said. He added that some elmsmay have the disease that he doesn'tknow about yet while others havebeen saved through treatment.Campana has been doing research

on the disease for approximately 20years. He said he had "kind ofadopted on-campus elms as anoutdoor research laboratory" withthe "excellent cooperation" of thegrounds and services department.

In the past 20 years, Campanaestimated he has been provided withapproximately $200,000 for researchon the disease. Most of this moneyhas come from federal and stategrants, in addition to some moneyfrom private sources."Who pays what is not terribly

important." said Campana. "Theimportant thing is the tremendousamount of information we've gottenout of the trees." He said numerouspapers and theses have been writtenfrom information gathered in re-search on the trees.Campana said while he did

recognize the inevitability of theelms removal, it does "throw amonkey wrench" into his research.However, Campana said he was

one of those who urged the univer-sity to underplant the elms withanother kind of tree. He said at thetime, there hadn't been enoughresearch to know whether or not thetrees could be saved.The ash trees on the mall were

planted in 1973 and recently have\...sLarted being overshadowed by the

Swasey) came to the conclusion thatmany of the elms could be kept by alittle judicious pruning." Campanasaid.Campana. 61. said he has a

"feeling" that once he retires. theDutch Elm Disease program oncampus will end because there is noeconomic need for the elm and theuniversity is not likely to get anotherforest pathologist who is preoccupiedwith elms.

Statt s rtter

Here's a new definition for Webster'sdictionary. 20th Century Music Ensemble:a UMO musical group that combines talentand drive to produce toe-tapping. handclapping swing. wailing blues, and funkyrock music, making it all look like fun.Under the direction of Don Stratton and

Associate Director Bill Picher, the en-semble "wowed" a receptive audience atHauck Auditorium Tuesday night with a

Reviewlively program that featured the musical%orks of Gershwin. Kenton, and DonStratton.The real stars of the show, however.

were the musicians themselves. Severaloutstanding talents were spotlightedthroughout the evening. Especially wellreceived were solos by Stratton and Picheron trumpet. Al Bernardo on sax, SteveSoucy on trombone. Tom White on guitar.Don Holder on bass. and Donna Langdonon drums. Perhaps the most impressivetalent of the evening was Bev Bellai. whosefluid clarinet solos in Artie Shaw's"Concerto for Clarinet" earned her a welldeserved standing ovation.The program featured several "big

band" era tunes, some jazz, some blues.and even some "Ease on 'lova n the Road"funk-rock that had everyone tapping andclapping and nodding their heads inapproval.Rounding out the program were vocals

by Cathy Cyr and Judy Labbe, who bothexcelled. Labbe's powerful voice complimented Stratton's arrangements of "NineTimes Up- and "Summertime." Espec-ially good was Cyr's. own beautifullyflowing arrangement of the Loggins-Messina song, "The House at PoohCorner," which received an enthusiasticround of avvlause.In addition to Stratton's songs. compo-

sitions from local songwriters BillMcCarthy. John Norton, and Frank Picherwere woven into the program.

The evening certainly ended with abang. The last scheduled song wasStratton's "UMO Blues," a tune that has abeat not unlike "The Stripper.- That onlymade the audience hungry for more as theydemanded an encore. And what an encorethey got. A driving rendition of "Mr. C'sBoogie,- a tune borrowed from theTonight Show's musical library'. was aperfect choice. As Don Sratton struttedaround the stage wailing away on histrumpet. one could sense the satisfactionhe was getting from the golden music hisensemble put forth that evening. Almostbefore the song vvas over, the audience wason its feet, cheering and confirming thatStratton and everyone at UMO do indeedhave something to be really proud of: 20thCentury Music Ensemble.

A

opinion

Thr•P 2' ring politicsThe student senators are developing a

serious flaw. They are taking themselvestoo seriously, making themselves moreimportant than they really are. And indoing so, they are coming off looking likeclowns.The senate has been voicing opinions on

a variety of subjects recently. They makeresolutions saying what the studentswant. Sometimes they ask the students.Sometimes they don't.When they were trying to decide the

vital UMO issue of whether the UnitedStates should participate in the MoscowSummer Olympics or what our position onthe draft was, they added some referendaquestions to the student governmentelection ballots.Tuesday night, they showed students

and several of UMO's administrators thatthey were not all seriousness.By a vote of 21 to 12, one vote short of

the two-thirds needed to pass thequestion, the senate decided thePanhellenic Council should not be amember of the cabinet. They denied thestudents the chance to make the decision.

Apparently this was not as big an issueto the senate as the Moscow Olympics is.One of the senators who voted no on the

question was Roger Brodeur. Brodeurrepresents Balentine, Colving andEstabrooke Halls. At least thats what histitle says.

It doesn't seem that he took intoaccount the viewpoints of the 30 or moresorority women living in Balentine.Neither did he consult the sorority womenof Colvin. It's hard to believe thesewomen of Colvin. It's hard to believe

these women would ask Brodeur to voteagainst them having representation.But he didn't take that into account.

TI,Nes he, a cabinet member, think thetable would be too crowded with anotherchair.He isn't alone in his shortsightedness.

The senate themselves went against therecommendation of the committee theyset up to report on the issue by downingthe vote. What is the point of studying thequestion at all if you don't listen?The cabinet isn't a club.By denying a seat to the Panhellenic

Council they were telling 600 women theydidn't need to be represented.Common logic follows, folks, that if

sororities shouldn't be represented,neither should fraternities, therebyeliminating another 1,000 students frombeing represented. Keep the trend goingand you've soon eliminated off-campusstudents. Dorms would be the next to bedenied representation.Where would that leave the cabinet and

the senate?Right, empty.Not every group deserves

representation. But this one did.Lost in two farcical votes and an hour

and a half of rigamorale, the true issuebecame clouded and lost.

It should have been left up to thestudents to decide who deserves to be onthe cabinet. Instead it was never let off theground.As Barnum and Bailey would say. "It'stime to take the makeup off, guys."

Billy Joel for every moodTo the Editor:

I would like this opportunity to replyto Susan Day's review of Billy Joel'snewest album. "Glass Houses."

First of all Susan. I would like tochallenge your rather unfoundedassumption that all singers/songwritershave a standard image that should beadhered to. If you would :arc to goback and play your stack of worn BillyJoel albums, you may remember"Piano Man." his third album. "Thehis first to bring him "fame" in musiccircles. His next album. "TheStranger" was totally unsimilar to theprevious one-no more banjo. substituteRichie Cannata. "52nd Street" is verydifferent from his others, almost alar-mingly so at first, as he implementedhis band even more often. and incor-porated impressive studio bands soun-ds brilliantly. "Glass Houses" is alsovery different. What I call his realstyle. his true attribute as an artist isthis-versatility. I can brag a Billy Joelalbum to fit my every mood, whichsuits me much better than 20 BarryManilow songs that sound like the last20.

As for your attacks on "GlassHouses"-you want symbolism? Trybreaking the standard set by aferocious and competitive record in-dustry. When they want one thing. givethem what you want, even if it's asatiric version of what they expect. IfBilly Joel is in the glass house of recor-ding fame (recording mind you, no TVspecials with Lonnie Anderson. nomovies) he is certainly throwing stones.

"Sometimes a Fantasy" is not "punk"as you so slanderously refer to it. but aparody of it. Perhaps you didn't catchthe distinctive 50s rythmicbackground. At worst, its merely an in-tegration of the two most notoriousrock sounds in history-50s and newwave.

As for your petty attack on his Fren-ch. being a four-year French studentwith French relatives. I found his ac-cent most impressive. I thought it was avery beautiful and different effect.

Sincerely.Dianne McLaughlin

Dear, dear. dear. Mr. McCarthy.Your proposal for a six-day school

If youthink the alcohol problem is 'oad now.Just wait until this proposal is passedand goes into effect next semester.One of the most popular excuses for

drinking is to relieve pressure. Believeyou me. a six-day week will so intensifythe pressure on this campus that onecan conclude that drinking willinevitably increase.Your decision is going to cut the

A

opinion5Irresponsibility chargedTo the Editor:

This is in reply to the irresponsiblejournalism in the Tuesday edition ofthe Maine Campus. I am referring toMike Lowry's editorial entitled "Ac-ting Like Children." First off. wheredid Lowry get his facts from? He leftout quite a bit of information whichsurrounds the incident. Secondly.when did God turn over his power ofjudgement solely to you, Mr. Lowry?

It is obvious from the tone of theeditorial that Mr. Lowry does notbelieve individuals should stand up forthemselves. It so happens that thebrothers of Theta Chi are very proudof their house. as I am sure all other

fraternity brothers are of their housesand all are willing to uphold its prideirregardless of who is causing thetrouble.You say the brothers of Theta Chi

and Sigma Phi Epsilon are irrespon-sible children for what occured. yet theMaine Campus prints pictures of graf-fiti with anti-war slogans in the paper.I see the Campus condones graffiti onpublic buildings these days. Or is it youpeople just wait for the opportunity toprint inaccurate stories about thoseterrible men in fraternities?

Respectfully' yours.Donald S. Murray

Brother, Theta Chi Fraternity

Lowry's accuracy attackedTo the Editor:

In reference to Mike Lowry'seditorial April I. his journalistic idealsand practices are certainly an April'sFool. When I was enrolled in JR 31 afew years back, we were told to be sureto check all the sources close lo thestory, to make sure all the 'acts arecorrect and that all the facts are in-cluded. Did Lowry follow suchprocedures?This is just another case of an eager

journalist foaming at the mouth towrite his story before he gathers in allthe facts from all the individuals in-volved. Did he ask any Theta Chi orSig Ep brothers what happened? Didhe bother to see if any other instancesoccurred which led to this event? If he

did, he's probably saving it for hisaward-winning novel.

I'm not condoning actions duringthis event. Every Theta Chi snd Sig Epbrother involved realizes it was stupidand agreed to settle differences in amature manner. The thing that irks thehell out of me is this irresponsiblejournalism.

I think Mr. Lowry should eitherstick to writing articles about winningstuffed pandas for his girlfriend, orstart to act and write in a professionalmanner. It is obvious by Mr. Lowry'stalents that a newspaper job in a bigcity awaits him—as a copy boy.

Respectfully yours.Dave CaronTheta Chi

Sunburn season"Cabin fever" is history. We

classes all day (I bet you didn't knowthat). and at the end of the day a littlerest is usually needed to recuperatefrom a series of lectures. Many studen-ts, including myself. must work everynight just to pay the bills and thisleaves very little studying time duringthe week day. Much of my studying isdone on weekends which makes it veryconvenient for me to stay on top ofthings. A six-day week would com-pletely destroy any hope of stayingcaught up and there is just no way Icould survive that kind of situation.

I think you'll find. Mr. McCarthy.that most students won't stand for thiskind of incompetence. As far as I'mconcerned, you're reaching for myjugular. and I won't stay to let you cutit. I will transfer. This isn't a threat.it's a promise!

Students and faculty debate draftby Gail Clough

Staff writer

Two students and two faculty membersargued over the pros and cons of a militarydraft last night at a debate held in theBangor lounge of the Memorial Union.

Robin Hartford. a student who served inthe Navy before enrolling at UMO, said thecountry needs some kind of military draftto maintain order. He said when the draftended in 1973. the quality of militarypersonnel diminished. The work loadincreased, many skilled people wereoverworked, and more unskilled men wereassigned jobs for which they weren'tqualified. Hartford said.

"1 think we need a draft and I think weneed it with no deferments and a universalconscription,— he added.

Lynn Bradsha% Hull argued the country

should concentrate on alternatives to draft

registration.

Hull said the volunteer army issubstandard because there has been noeffort to attract people into the army, andonce an individual has enlisted, he is notmotivated to continue his military service.

Associate Professor of History RichardBlanke gave his idea of the reason manystudents oppose the draft. "The draft isresented by young people today primarilybecause it's inconvenient,— he said. Manystudents have a narrow minded and selfishattitude towards the possibility of draftregistration. Blanke added.

Blanke said he had no sympathy tor theargument that the younger generation

would have to take on a job the older

generation can no longer do.

Philosophy Department Chairman Doug

Allen said he is basically against the draft.

There has never been a registration

without a draft. and there has never been a

draft without a war. he said.

Allen said two events—the crisis in Iranand the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan—prompted President Carter to call forregistration for the draft. Allen also saidCarter is successfully using these inter-national crises to boost his campaign forre-election.

Allen said the country should notsupport harsh dictators of foreign countriesreferring to the Shah of Iran and change itseconomic priorities by becoming lessdependent on other countries for energy.
