E d ito r 's D e s kT his w eekend, Lawrentians Against Apartheid

For Divestm ent is sponsoring several presentations and activities to support the anti-Apartheid strug­gle and to encourage Lawrence to divest. The resolve of LAAFD and its ability to bring prominent figures like Prexy Nesbitt to cam p us on behalf of the anti- Apartheid m ovem ent speaks well for the group’s or­ganization and determ ination to achieve its goals. During the course of the past two years, LAAFD has worked hard to provide inform ation to the cam pus about the Apartheid issu e . In addition, the recent form ation of the Advisory Com m ittee on South African Issu es is a good indication of both LAAFD’s effectiveness as a lobbying and pressure group and the U niversity’s w illin gn ess to address both the im m ediate concern of LAAFD--that Lawrencc d i­vest com pletely from South African com p an ies— and o th er is s u e s involved in South A 'rican A partheid.

But th is praise rings hollow in the ears of Ihe uninformed; the ultim ate cau se for which Ij\AFI) flghts--the end of Apartheid in South Africa--is lost on the persons who have never taken the time to try to understand Apartheid and the cries which have been raised against it. The fact that the Board of T rustees and the Lawrence pow ers-that-be will be exam in ing Law rence’s involvem ent in the anti- Apartheid m ovem ent through the Advisory C om ­m ittee of South African Issu es is good, but LAAFD’s goa ls--an d , indeed, the drive to end A partheid— w ould be better served if all m em bers of the Lawrencc com m unity would sim ply listen.

Tills is not neccssarlly a call for activism per sc; th is is not a call for all Lawrentians to Join IJ\AFD. It is sim ply a ch a llen ge and a request to the Lawrence com m unity to take the tim e to learn about Apartheid and be informed about the issu es involved. A m ovem ent like the anti-A partheid struggle can achieve only limited su ccess if people do not take the time to listcn--even If they are sym ­pathetic with the m ovem ent. We may not all agree if we understand the issu es, and that’s OK. Ignorance of these important issu es is not.

LU sy s te m for p ark in g h a s flaw sTo the Editor

I, Andrew Gussert. here subm it a portion of the recom m endation sent to me by Paul Alex concern­ing th e e lim in a tio n of parking problem s w ithin the Lawrence parking sy s ­tem:

“After serving as Chair of the Parking Board, I have noticed that there are several flaws ln the current parking system , and there­fore adjustm ents need to be m ade ln the leg isla tion im m ediately."

“The first flaw c o n ­cerns the authority of the cu rren t Parking Board.

Since lt ls incorporated In LUCC le g is la t io n , th e Parking Board only h a s the authority to abrogate s tu d e n ts ’ parking tickets. That is, It only has the a u ­thority to hold stu dents ac­countable fcr their parking fines via end of the term billings through the b u s i­n ess office."

“This is unfair becau se only one faction of the com m u n ity is h eld a c ­countable for their parking tickets. The other three factions (faculty, staff, and adm inistration) do not fall w ithin the g u id e lin es of LUCC legislation. This fact is well known and I believe intentional since it has yet to be changed."

"The other three fac ­tions have taken ad van ­tage of an inequitable s y s ­tem and have benefitted trom its loopholes. They do not have to pay th eir Ste PARKING, page 3

S ex ist jo k es in soc iety lead to rapeTo The Editor:

“W hoa, look at that! S h e’s really built for a c ­tion." “God. that one In the pink is hot! I want to f— her." “Look at the girls. They’re pretty quiet. I bet they're angry." “Yah, but they talk about guys in the sam e way. They’re Just a bunch of hypocrites." “I re­ally want to f--- her."

People in a con versa ­tion like this are usually only Joking. They know about rape and they know where the Joking sh ou ld stop. They would probably

even be enraged if they found out that one of their friends had been raped. I think, however, that it is th is type of Joking th at leads to rape.

I don’t think it is s im ­ply a coincidence that m en Joke of rape and that rape occurs as a semi-joke. Cer­ta in ly the ra p ists d o n ’t co n sid er the fee lin g s of th eir v ictim s. It’s not som ething they would do to a friend, but lt Is okay to do to a woman.

O bviously, som eth in g h as removed the w om an s integrity as an individual. She’s a bitch. She deserves it. She asked for lt. She w as built for lt. I th in k there is som ething to the fact th at m en jo k e of wom en as having no brain and that a rapist treats a w om an as noth ing m ore than a body. I am not sa y ­

ing that people who make sex ist jo k es are rapists. I am sa y in g , rather, that their jok es are dangerous

On the agenda of th is m eeting of the Board of T ru stees is to estab lish the Advisory C om m ittee on South Africa Issu es IACSAI) which Is designed to help estab lish Lawrence s policy in regard to d iv e stm e n t. A lso sc h e d u le d to be d iscu ssed at the trustee m eeting is the 1990-1991 budget, and the possibility of endowm ent spending to meet operatlbnal co sts , according to president Richard Warch.

The rally , sa id H u sse in , ls not intended to be a dem onstration, but ts ex­pected to show the Board of Trustees that LAAFD ls “not Just a bunch of radical stu dents ...we re dedicated, we've put a lot of research into this. It's time for us to be heard."

Even worse. I can say that I w a sn ’t th e only one. Not one of som e twenty m en and w om en objected to th e above c o n v e r s a t io n . T he tragedy is in the encour­agem ent that loklng pro­vides for Itself. No one ob jects so lt m u st be okay. In fact, perhaps lt is even a little true.

How can rape occur when there are other peo­ple around w atching? I think lt ls b ecau se they are w ith in a group of people who won’t support anyone w ho objects: a group of people who e n ­courage Joking of wom en as b itch es and sex ob ­jects. People won’t worry

about objecting tf they are supported. Rape sim ­ply d o esn ’t occur am ong people who outspokenly object to an yon e who m akes a sexist Joke.

S e x ism s h o u ld be looked at a s an oth er form of racism I suggest that one should Impose the sam e Judgem ent to both areas If lt m akes you feel uncom fortable deep down inside to say. “nigger." it ought to make you feel equally uncom ­fortable to say. "She's a bitch" or “I Just want to f-— her." I think our soci­ety has agreed that m ak­ing racist Jokes ls not a h u m orou s m atter. It shou ld be sim ilarly ap ­plied to sexism

Rape does occur au too often ln our society. The silent do get hurt: those w ho Joke are e n ­couraged And those who would like to object won’t be supported.

WEST GERMAN CONSUL H ein z Wirth says that a United States of Europe ls not u n feasib le . (Post Crescent photo).

D i p l o m a t s e e s o n e G e r m a n y

By Tom Zoellner

After 40 years of division Ger­m any will soon becom e one n a ­tion, says W est German consu l H einz W irth, who spoke in a M ain H all C o llo q u iu m on Wednesday.

In fact. “Unification" seem ed to be the buzzword during the con ­su l’s address.

Wirth, the Midwest consul for econom ic and cu ltu ra l affairs, spoke of the recent fall of one- party com m unism ln Eastern Eu­rope as partly due to the influence of the European Com m unity, a confed eracy of tw elve partner states.

“What happened in Eastern E urope du rin g the la st six

m onths w as partially caused by the exam ple of the EC. said Wirth. “(The com m unist nations) certa in ly realized that lf they w anted to participate in free trade, they must change their sy s­tem towards dem ocracy."

The EC ls m oving towards a breakdown of trade barriers and a com m on European currency, said Wirth. The eventual unifica­tion of the E uropean n a tion s could lead to a “United States of Europe." he said.

T h ere Is a strong feeling ln the twelve sta tes of the EC that they m ust bring their resources together tow ards a united E u ­rope." said Wirth. T h is provides the fram ework for overcom ing the division of Europe."

A united Europe, with 3 2 0 m illion consum ers, would be the

“get acquainted with the revolution" and to help determ ine the “n eeds the people have after 4 0 years of isolation."

But the trip w as not all official b usiness. Povolny said he and h is wife. Joyce, “stole a few days for family and friends," including a trip to Brno see his brother.

"I w as very happy of course to see my fam­ily, where I grew up, and friends I had not seen ln years," said Povolny.

Povolny’s visit attracted the attention of the telev ision sta tio n s and new spap ers In Czechoslovakia, and Povolny said m any peo­ple were anxious to see him.

“It seem ed half the village passed through our living room," he said . “People were w ak­ing us up in the morning on their way to work, and w e’d be occupied until m idnight every day."

Povolny said the Czech people are “proud of what they have done." referring to the m ass p ro tests and d em on stration s ln November and Decem ber which toppled the Com m unist governm ent. Povolny added that the people are confident the revolution is irreversible,

but there ls still som e fear am ong the people about the strength and Intentions of the C om m unists.

Povolny said the major concern facing the leaders and people of C zechoslovakia right now is m oving the country to free elections tn April ln an orderly way so that the “political spectrum does not get too fragmented."

T h ere are about 35 parties already, but about 30 will not cou n t.“ said Povolny. T h ere ls an understandable lack of experience in dem ocratic p ractices . It’s only been two m onths and a week since the revolution b e ­gan. and people m ust now learn how to orga­nize parties, make com prom ises, and so forth.

“But it (the political participation of the Czechs) show s the trem endous enthusiasm on the part of the people to get involved.-

The other major concerns of the Czechs. Povolny said , include Improving the m an ­agem ent of the econom y, Increasing produc­tivity, and establish ing a place for Czechoslo­vakia in the world market. He said the Czechs want to establish econom ic relations with the West, but they do not want loans.

M ost observers agree that spring graduates will face a tight, com petitive Job market. In contrast to the 1988 -89 Job hun ting season , w hen stu d en ts at som e s c h o o ls reported fielding m ultip le offers, am ajor a n n u a l survey of g rad s’ Job p rospects th is year p resen ts m uch more sober pictures.

M ichigan State Univer­sity, w hich asked 479 key corporations and em ploy­ers about their nationwide college grad hiring p lans, found the com panies fore­see m aking 13.3 percent fewer Job offers to students this year.

M ichigan State survey director P atrick S h eet* sa id c o m p a n ies c ited a

Increased g lob a l co m p etitio n and slower turn over of current em ployees a s the reasons they have had to cut back th eir h iring p lan s s in ce 1988-89. “It’s going to be a big gam e of m usical chairs, and som ebody ls surely go­ing to lo se out." sa id Sheetz.

Carol Lampe, Director of Career P lan n in g and Placem ent, d isagrees with the p ess im istic M ichigan S ta te a s s e s s m e n t . She b ases her Judgement upon two observations: that this year’s seniors are pursuing Job o p p o r tu n it ie s w ith greater fervency than in any previous year, and that the n u m b er of Job re­cruiters appearing on cam ­pus th is year ls double the

num ber that appeared last year.

Lampe estim ates that nearly 200 m em bers of the senior c la ss have already researched potential career opp ortu n ities. R ecruiters visiting cam p u ses are also being more selective than in the past she said.

Sheetz surveyed six re­g ion s, and said the best place to look for Jobs will be ln the Southw est. Next best ls the N ortheast, fol­lowed by the S ou th east, North-Central, South-C en­tral and Northwest states.

Povolny said m ajor con cern s which he and the Council of Free C zechoslovakia will also try to address are the shortage of books and Journals ln the Czech libraries, and the need for people to teach English.

He said it is a lso Important for universi­ties in W estern Europe and in the United States to develop student exchange programs

T h a t is one way ln which Lawrence can help the C zechs.- he said.

Povolny gave m uch of the credit for the su c c ess of the “velvet revolution" to the Czech students and young workers who “took a stand against the regime" on the critical weekend of Nov. 17 and 18 and during the subsequent strikes and protests.

Povolny said he does not ex p e c t-o r even w a n t-to play a major role ln the new govern­m ent of Czechoslovakia.

He p lans to return to h is hom eland In May or Ju n e for another official visit, and he has also been invited to present a lecture or series of lec tu r es at C z ech o slo v a k ia ’s M asaryk University, where he earned his J.D . degree

T h is w eek I gol a pretty tough assignm ent: a story on Trivia. Now, those of you who have been here more than 11 m o n th s are s a y in g . “W hat’s so hard about th a t - -e v e ry b o d y k n o w s about Trivia." And those of you w ho haven’t are saying, “Why did she cap­italize that *t?"

See what I mean?In an attem pt to do

so m e th in g in te r e s tin g and unique—and because I got tired of listen ing to Larry D ah lk e’s an sw er­ing m ach in e—I looked to som e back issu e s of T h e L a w re n tia n for insplra- t ion.

The first few years of Trivia co v era g e w ere pretty interesting, but by the time the contest had entered its third year, it b ecam e c lear that all Trivia s to r ie s are the

som eth in g like. “At 10 p.m. th is evening. WLFM w ill k ic k o f f i t s um pteenth annual Trivia Weekend."

This year m arks the 25 th tim e L aw rentians have gone through 50 s leep le ss hours of n on ­sen se and bad m usic, so th e y ’ll probably have som e su itable com m ents for the occasion.

Of course, when I say they. I’m referring to the Trivia M asters, a group of generally crazy people who are the gurus behind th is w h o le op eration . This year’s grand m a s­ters are Larry D ahlke and Mike Engelson.

M ost a r t ic le s on T r iv ia c o n t a in a “veritable plethora" of quotes from the m asters- -e n th u s ia s t ic d e sc r ip ­tio n s like “Trivia’s the greatest thing sin ce Lib- erace left Menasha."

So, w hat exactly is

Trivia? W ell, i t ’s 50 hours of qu estion s and a n s w e r s , p o in ts and prizes, and stupid music.

David Pfleger. a m as­ter from ’67 . described the questions: “We will have q u e stio n s for all segm ents of the listening a u d ien ce , from teeny- bopp ers to Fred Allen fans."

And. for those of you who are sure that Fred Allen’s identity will pop into your head Just as you are trying to get to sleep ton igh t, the w ords of Tony W elhouse, m aster in ’73: “The best kind of q u e st io n is th e kind th at’s ju st ofT the tip of everybody’s tongue."

The final q u estion ? “W hat's the phone num ber of the New York Theatre w here the widow of Humphrey Bog­art is currentiy appear­ing?" How does anyone ever answ er a q uestion like that? In 1971 a li­brarian noted that "40 reference b ooks w h ich had disappeared m y ste ­riou sly over the w eek ­end" were returned on M onday.

And how to keep the other team s from a n ­swering? A group of Phi T aus thought they had the so lu tion one year-- they sent chocolate cook ies laced with Ex-lax to the com petition. But as the Trivia Credo clearly sta tes . "Trivia ls m eant to be entertainm ent and sh o u ld be p erce iv ed solely in that light.

The cry goes up. One can hear it drifting through the literary world, w hich m ourns the lo ss of one of its finest contributors, the heir to Thoreau. It h a u n ts the dream s of developers and c o n ­su m ers who view the untam ed west a s m erely an untapped re­source in the way of hum an ex ­pansion. It brings hope to the tor­tured sou ls of John Wesley Powell and others w hose nam es are im ­m ortalized in the ded ications of h ew n f o r e s t s a n d f lo o d ed canyons.

But m ost of all, the cry rever- b ates trium phantly w est of the Rockies. It can be found scrawled, in w arning, in the bathroom

sta lls of our National Parks. It can be seen leading on the m em ­bers of Earth First! a s they march to place them selves betw een the gaping m aw s of civilization and the land they love. It can be heard e c h o in g g le e fu l ly o ff th e sandstone w alls of the canyons of the Colorado Plateau.

Mr. Language Person fields questionsBy Dave Barry

O nce again we arc pleased to present Mister Language Person, the internationally- r e co g n iz e d exp ert and au th or of the authoritative “Oxford Cambridge Big Book o’ Gram m ar.*

Q. W hat ls the d ifference betw een “criteria" and "criterion"?

A. These often-confused words belong to a family that gram m arians call “metronomes." m eaning ‘w ords that have the same beginning but lay eggs underwater." The simplest way to tell them apart is to remember that "criteria" ls u sed in the following type of sentence: “W hen ch oosin g a candidate for the United S ta tes C ongress, the m ain criteria ls. hair “ W hereas "Criterion" ls a kind of car.

Q. What ls the correct way to spell words?A. English spelling ls unusual because our

language ls a rich verbal tapestry woven together from the tongues of the Greeks, the Latins, the Angles, the Klaxtons, the Celtics, the 76ers and m any other ancient peoples, all of whom had severe drinking problems.

Look at the spelling they came up with for "colonel" (w hich ls actu ally pronounced "lieutenant"): or “hors d ’oeuvres" or "Cyndl Lauper." It Is no wonder that young people today have so m uch trouble learning to spell: Study after stu d y show s that young people today have the intelligence of Brillo. This is why It’s so important that we old folks te.n h them the old reliable spelling rule that we learned as children, namely:

"I" before "C." Or when followed by “T.“ O’er the ram parts we watched. Not excluding Joint taxpayers filing singly.

EXCEPTION: "Suzl's All-Nlte E-Z Drive- Thru Donut Shoppe."

Q. What the heck are “ramparts" anyway?A. They are parts of a ram. and they were

con sid ered a great delicacy ln those days. People used to watch o’er them.

Dave Barry has been a writer for the Miami Herald s in ce 1 9 8 3 . A g ra d u a te of Haverford College, he has written a number of popular books, Including B a b la s a n d O ther H azards o f S a x and D ave B arry S lep t Hera: A Sort o f H istory o f the United S ta te s . In 1988, Barry w as awarde the Pulitzer Prize for com m entary , based on his columns written for the Herald. The W ash in gton Jo u rn a lism R e v i e w s ' 1989 R eaders ' poll named Barry as the best humor columnist In America.

Q. How do you speak French?A. French ls very easy to speak. The secret

is, no matter what anybody says to you. you answer. “You're wrong." but you say lt with your tongue way back in gargle position and your lips pouted way out like you’re sucking grits through a hose, so lt sounds sort of like this: "Urrrrooonnngggg." Example:

FRENCH PERSON: Ou est la polsson de mon harm onica? ("How about them Toronto Blue Jays?")

YOU: Urrrrooonnngggg.FRENCH PERSON: Quel un moron! ("Good

point!")Q. I know there’s a difference ln proper

u sa g e b e tw een "com pared with" and “compared to" but I don’t care

A. It depends on the context.Q. Please explain punctuation?A. It would be "my pleasure." The main

punctuation m arks are the period, the coma, the colonel, the sem icolonel, the probation mark, the catastrophe, the eclipse, the Happy Face and the box where the person checks "yes" to receive m ore inform ation. You should place these marks in your sentences at regular intervals to indicate to your reader that som e kind of punctuation ls occurring. Consider these exam ples.

WRONG: O Romeo. Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

RIGHT: O R om eo! Yo! ROMEO! W herethehellfore ART thou? Huh??

ROMEO I art down here' Throw me the car keys!

Q. D oes anybody besid es total Jerks ever use the phrase "as lt were"?

A. No.Q. What is the correct form of encouraging

“chatter" that baseball m flelders should yell to the pitcher?

A. They should yell: “Hum babe hum babe hum babe HUM BABE HUM BABE.“

Q. May they also yell: “Shoot that ball m there shoot lt shoot lt SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT WAY TO SHOOT BABE GOOD HOSE ON THAT SHOOTER"?

A. They most certainly may.Q. What is the difference betw een "take"

and "bring"?A. “Take" ls a transitory verb that is used

in sta tem en ts such as “He up and took off." “Bring" ls a consum ptive injunction and m ust be used as follows: “We brung som e stew ed ram parts to Aunt Vespa but she w as already dead so we ate them ourselfs “

Q. What ls President B u sh ’s native language?

A. He doesn’t have one.

TODAY’S LANGUAGE TIP: A good way to im press people such as your boss Is to develop a “Power Vocabulary" by using big words. Consider this example:

YOU: Good morning. Mr. Johnson.YOUR BOSS: Good morning. Ted.(Obviously you’re not m aking m uch of an

Im pression here. Your nam e isn't even "Ted." Now w atch the difference that a couple of Power Vocabulary words can make:)

YOU: Good m orning. Mr. Joh n son , you hem orrhoidal infrastructure.

YOUR BOSS: What?

YOU GOT A QUESTION FOR MISTER LANGUAGE PERSON?

We are not surprised.

The ch a ra cters are raw, bigoted, sex ist, lustful, ob­se ss iv e . se lf-d estr u c tiv e , yet still undeniably heroic.

Although In part based upon real people, the char­acters of Abbzug, Sarvls, Smith and Jack . The Lone Ranger, a lbeit endearing, are fic t io n a l. H ow ever.

S tone put up som e B au ch lero-llke sta tistics Friday night with 61 saves, and Schrule had 36 Saturday.

This w eekend s gam es at St. Norbert should be a good test for the Vikings as they will finally face a team of som ew hat equal caliber.

(CPS)--The National Collegiate Ath­letic A sso c ia tio n (NCAA) awarded its highest honor to former President Ronald Reagan Jan . 8 during Its annual conven­tion ln D allas, sparking a low key protest am ong som e college ofTiclals who say he hurt w om en’s athletics during his time in office.

“As far as opportunities for women, as far a s m inority opportunities during Rea­g an ’s adm in istration , they weren’t very good," said Donna Lopiano. women s ath­letic director of the University of Texas. “In fact, they were awful.

“People are upset that the NCAA selec­tion com m ittee chose som eone who su p ­ported opportunities for Just half the pop­ulation," Lopiano said.

R eagan cam p aigned against a law called Title IX of the Education Am end­m ents of 1972. which threatened to cut olT federal fu n d s to sch oo ls that d iscrim i­nated against wom en. He argued the law w as an unw arranted federal intrusion in private affairs.

W hile in office, Reagan’s Justice D e­p artm ent wrote “friend of the court" briefs supporting Grove City College's le­gal challenge to the law. arguing the fund cutoff threat applied only to the specific

programs that directly got federal money and. consequently, not athletic programs.

The US Suprem e Court subsequently ruled Grove City w as correct. In 1988. when C ongress approved a Civil Rights Restoration Act to replace Title IX. Rea­gan vetoed lt. Congress later overturned the veto.

The former president’s actions did not endear him to wom en's sports groups, which had used Title IX to pressure co l­leges to go to the expense of establishing women's sports facilities and teams.

Richard Nixon. Lopiano said , would have been a better choice for the NCAA's award. “He w as president when Title IX was promulgated."

The NCAA received five letters con ­cerning the Reagan award, four of them negative, NCAA sp ok esm an J im Mar- chlony said. Former professional golfer Carol Mann resigned her seat on the awards committee to protest the honor.

“It’s a minor flak." Marchlony said. "I wouldn’t call lt a national groundswell."

The “T eddy Award." nam ed for Theodore Roosevelt, ls given by the NCAA to a “d istingu ished citizen of national reputation and outstanding accom plish­ment" who played college varsity sports.

Both Viking swim team s leave Ripon in their wakeby Llssa Mach

Both the m en’s and w om en’s swim team d e ­feated Ripon last Satur­day. by scores of 135-48 and 152-60. respectively.

The Vikings captured 22 f ir st-p la ce f in ish e s out of 26 events.

The turnaround in the performance of the Viking inside play could be a m a­jor factor ln a late-season su r g e .
