Vol.CV.No.9 Report suggests theater changes By HELEN JUNG While some proposals in the -page campus center committee report ill only be discovered by the most avid readers, others seem to jump off the page and invite discussion. And the report's proposals concerning the Annenberg Center's facilities may be one of those "magnets" for discussion, according to Vice Provost for University Life Kim Morrisson. The report, released yesterday, addresses the campus performing arts groups' chronic inability to find adequate space for rehearsals and performances. Outlining the mission and specific proposals for the campus center, the report details hat the committee considered the most pressing campus needs. And figuring prominently among them is a need for more student performing arts space. The committee recommended that the center include a -square-foot black box theater as all aa to rehearsal studios and an undetermined number of music practice rooms. n addition, the committee urged that all of Annenberg Center's performance facilities the Harold Prince Theatre, Studio Theatre and Zellerbach Theatre be dedicated to student groups rather than professional groups during peak use periods. Peak use periods are slated to run for about 4 eeks: seven beteen October and December and seven beteen February and April. But according to Annenberg Managing Director and Performing Arts Coordinator Stephen Goff, the proposals in the campus center report ill not solve the problem of limited facilities for campus performing arts groups. Goff, ho said yesterday that he has not revieed the report, said student performing groups already have "virtual" prior- Please see THEATER, page 7 > C7 ^ T ^ fmmbeb 885 PHLADELPHA. Thursday.

By CHRSTNE LUTTON Public Safety Director John Logan said yesterday that campus police ill hire ne officers by September an almost 7 percent increase as part of the University's seeping increases in security measures. With these additions, Public Safety ill have an all-time high number of authorized officers of 75. Additionally, Senior Vice President Mama Whittington said yesterday that she does not expect Philadelphia Police to cut back city patrols of the area hen Public Safety extends its patrols to 4rd Street and Baltimore Avenue. The ne security efforts, ranging from expanding escort services to buying ne police cars, have already begun, Whittington said this eek. But she added that many of the changes ill not be implemented for several months. Additionally, the department ill ensure 4-hour coverage of six campus sectors by at least one officer, she said. The increases in the number of officers and the expansion of coverage comes under a $ million addition to this year's Public Safety budget, hich increases the department's budget by percent. Currently, Public Safety patrols end at 4th Street, and in the past. University officials orried that Philadelphia Police ould reduce its coverage if the University expanded patrols. Whittington said the University ill dra up a ritten agreement ith the city police. "We ant to join them, not replace them," Whittington said. Whittington also said the University as concerned about reports from "reliable sources" that police staffing across the city has decreased. But she said that she has been assured that there has been an intense recruiting effort to solve the problem, and added that she believes there ill not be jurisdiction disputes. According to Philadelphia Police Sergeant Theresa Young, the n 'of officers in the University City area is equal or slightly higher than it as at this time last year. Young said yesterday that the city is in a "frantic hiring stage" and plans a 6-officer increase across the city by 99. The police sergeant said that Public Safety's expansion into University City ill help crime coverage in the area. Whittington said the expansion of security as prompted by groing concerns about an increase in incidents of violence against students. Among ne security measures ill be a dramatic increase in foot patrols around campus, addition of plainclothes officers for special events and an increase from to to five in the number of police vehicles, Logan said. He said there ill also be a Public Safety officer assigned full-time to educating the University community about safety. Whittington said there ill also be increased involvement of other administrative areas. For example, Whittington said the mail carriers ill receive special training "to be the eyes and the ears of Public Safety" because they are alays around campus. The security plan ill also include an expansion of Penn Bus and escort services. Whittington said more vans and phone lines ill be purchased for Escort Service as needed. Whittington said the move to improve campus security comes no because "it made sense in terms of hat e are facing and seeing other campuses face no, and in terms of hat e are seeing for the future." Whittington added that she hopes the security plan ill help make students feel more comfortable about their safety. Student groups debate future of speaker funding By PETER SPEGEL Representatives of the Penn Political Union, Connaissance and five other student groups debated the future of funding speakers at the University last night in a meeting described as "emotional" by many ho attended. The forum quickly turned into a debate over more fundamental issues such as diversity, accountability and efficiency of groups responsible for allocating speaking funds. Penn Political Union representative Eric 5th group rejects 'vy Ball' proposal By PETER SPEGEL n an acrimonious meeting of the Student Committee on the 5th anniversary, student leaders last night rejected an informal proposal for a $4, student dance in the Palestra for the 5th, according to Committee Chairperson Steve Mendes. The emergency meeting as called by Undergraduate Assembly Chairperson Benjy Karsch so that he and Student Programming and Event Committee founder Glenn Kaufman could present the idea to the group. Both Karsch and Mendes said that despite the bitterness of the gathering, they felt that "something good came out of the meeting." They agreed Karsch and Kaufman ill come back to the group's general meeting next eek to present the Committee ith a scaleddon proposal. Mendes said his group found Karsch's proposal inappropriate because Karsch never attended previous Committee meetings and had no authority to call an emergency meeting, and also because the UA Chairperson requested to-thirds of the Committee's entire budget. Karsch also met ith criticism because he had no ritten proposal for his plan. Kaufman and Karsch said last night that they did not intend to offend the Committee. They added that the meeting as "a last ditch effort" to fund an "vy Ball" because SPEC hich received an admi- nistration promise for substantial funding this eek has no money this semester. "We thought it ould be good for the student body at Penn to have a large-scale social activity commemorating the 5th this semester," the Wharton senior said. " have no question that going to the Committee as the right thing to do, and if they have no intention of having a major social event, then that's their decision." Karsch denied that he and Kaufman asked for any specific amount of money, adding that "if e did request anything it as closer to $5,, not $4,." Kaufman said the decision to call an emergency meeting as made because the planning period for such a large-scale event is already short. Graduate and Professional Student Assembly Chairperson Mohamed Saadi-Elmandjra, ho vehemently criticized Karsch's tactics last night, also faulted the proposal because it excludes graduate students and attempts to combine SPEC funding ith funding for the 5th. The GAPSA chairperson also said that if the large scale event failed, it ould drain almost all of the Committee's funds and make SPEC'S first event a flop. "t as a financial absurdity," he said. "t relies on an attendance of 5 to return half the money. t is potentially a big disaster." Restuccia called the meeting in order to comment on a PPU proposal for restructuring the ay campus groups allocate money for speakers. Restuccia said he had hoped to form a coalition of the seven groups attending to pass the proposal at the next Student Activities Council meeting. Restuccia's proposal calls for a ne sevenmember administrative body called SAC Speakers to be elected by the SAC body hich ould allocate speaking funds to all individual SAC groups. According to the prop- osal, Connaissance ould receive a fixed amount of money from SAC to fund its on speakers, and ould have to approach SAC Speakers if their funds run out. Currently, Connaissance is charged ith both attracting its on speakers and allocating money to other SAC groups ho ant to bring speakers ith honoraria over $. Restuccia said after the meeting that SAC ould hold SAC Speakers more accountable than it does Connaissance, because SAC Speakers ould be an elected body. He added Karsn Kagg/DP Start Photographer The Reverend John Scott speaks about his recent trip to srael. that charging an administrative body rather than a club ith the task ould give the SAC Speakers' members a higher profile, and ould require more accountability. But Coiuussance Chairp,..-.on Emily Nichols said that her group is already held accountable because all of its allocations must be approved by the SAC Finance Committee. She added that the group's open membership Please see SPEAKERS, page 5 Local priest tours historic holy sites By JASPER REYNOLDS A priest from a parish at the University got a glimpse at many of the exact sites mentioned in the Bible hile on a nine-day tour of srael last month. The Reverend John Scott, rector of Mary's Episcopal Church at 9th Street and Locust Walk, participated in the trip ith 4 other clergy through the College of Preachers, an Episcopal studies center in Washington. Dorothy Ann Hugill, one of the trip's coordinators, said that the tour as aimed at "familiarizing clergy ith the Holy Land by shoing them as much of the religious parts as e can in a short period of time." The group spent five days of the tour in Jerusalem, hich Scott said is the center of Jeish life, religion, and history. "The importance of [Jerusalem) is hat it has meant to three religions Judaism, Christianity, and slam," Scott said. Scott said that historical sites are often tough to find because it is difficult to "sort out" the architecture of Please see SRAEL, page 4 Boiler breakdon leaves campus ithout hot ater By SEEMA DESA University students in some dormitories ho had the luxury of aking up late yesterday morning did not necessarily have the luxury of taking a hot shoer. A series of malfunctions at the Philadelphia Thermal Corporation, hich supplies steam to most of West Philadelphia, left most of the campus ithout hot ater from about a.m. until noon yesterday, according to Steve Smith, the corporation's general manager. Smith said that an electrical relay failure earlier in the morning disabled a generator, causing steam pressure to drop. The heavy demand for hot ater during those morning hours compounded the problem, he added. "f there had not been heavy usage, the problem ould have gone undetected," Smith said. Director of Residential Maintainance Lynn Homer said that although the faulty relay as repaired by noon, students in almost all University residences ere left ithout hot ater for another to hours because steam must be sloly resupplied But the Quadrangle dormitory as apparently unaffected by the steam shortage several resi- dents said yesterday that they had no problems trying to take hot shoers. Homer added that dormitory residents ere fortunate that yesterday's eather as "mild" because the steam also heats the ater for the heating system. "f it as cold and indy, e ould have really felt the effects," Homer said. n addition, the shortage of hot ater made extra ork for the staff at the Class of 9 Commons and other dining halls, here students ate Please see WATER, page 5

Prompted by concern over the safety of international students, the University last month released a safety and security guide in seven languages. The brochure, called "Living Safely at Penn." provides a synopsis of the information in Public Safety's "Safer Living Guide" in French. Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. According to Graduate and Professional Student Assembly Chairperson Mohamed Saadi-Elmandjra, the brochure is the first of its kind in the United States. Assistant to the Vice Provost for University Life Barbara Cassel said last month that the brochure is one of many ays in hich the nternational Students Safety Task Force intends to respond to several incidents of violence against international students. To of the more serious incidents ere the October 988 murder of Cyril Leung, an economics graduate student from Hong Kong, and the November 985 murder of Meera Ananthakrishnan, a physics graduate student from ndia. Task force members said that most students ho come to study a! the University are proficient in English, but are less likely to read En glish than their native language. n addition to using foreign languages, the brochure also speaks to people in their "cultural language." Saadi-Elmandjra said. "n some cultures, speaking about sexual harassment is seen as shameful and people ill not read it" Saadi-Elmandjra added, noting that the translators modified the ording regarding sexual harassment in the Arabic portion of the brochure. Public Safety's Victim and Security Support Service, GAPSA, the Office of nternational Programs, the English Language Office, and the task force collaborated on the brochure..,. And representatives of the nter national Programs Office and English Language Office translated the brochure, according to Rose Hooks, administrative assistant for Victim and Support Services. GAPSA nternational Student Representative Eric Borguet said last month thai the brochure is necessary because "our [international students' needs are somehat different than those of American students." Borguet, ho is French, said he hopes it ill make international students more aare. "The things e might take for granted aren't necessarily true here." he said. Saadi-Elmandjra said response to the brochure has been positive. "The people ho have received il arc very enthusiastic," he said. "People feel that the University is being considerate to [them] specifically." Program 'coaches' SEAS freshmen By ANDREW UBBY Facing the rigors of physics, calculus and computer science alone may be enough to make even the toughest Engineering freshmen pack up their calculators and cancel their Scientific America subscription. But Engineering School officials have tried to ease the academic burden on incoming freshmen by implementing a "coaching" program. Under the semester-old program, Engineering upperclassmen discuss course material and lectures and revie homeork problems ith the freshmen. Program coordinator Kim Battle said yesterday that beteen 6 and 7 freshmen ere invited into the program, but only half that number are participating. The students meet ith their upperclass coach in to-hour sessions tice each eek. Battle said that students ho participated in the program last semester earned slightly higher grade point averages than those students ho ere invited into the program but did not participate. Faculty sponsor Richard Paul said last eek that the program targets students ith "nontraditional" backgrounds ho may have trouble adjusting to the University and the rigors of Engineering requirements. "f the profile of an incoming student is different from the norm and the department thinks that the student may have trouble ith the transition to college, then they ere invited to participate," Paul said. "Foreign students and minority students ere prime candidates for coaching because many of them had backgrounds different from most students at the University." According to Engineering Assistant Dean for Minority Affairs Cora ngrum. the program as not set up solely for minority students. She added that criteria for participation included standardized test scores and high school math and science grades. ngrum added that because introductory Engineering courses are "vigorous," the program is necessary to ensure that freshmen sue- Got a nes tip?

Engineering junior Rodney Comegy, a program coach, said yesterday that the experimental program is both necessary and successful. "t ill be a more solid and established program [next year! because of this year's experience and think more people ill be interested in participating," Comegy said. " think the students ho ere in it last semester ere helped, and it certainly couldn't hurt." Engineering freshman Brian Peterson, ho participates in the program, said yesterday that the program is beneficial and contributed to his understanding of the course material. " think the program should be continued because it gives freshmen a good resource for information and is a good aid in addition to class notes," Peterson said. "The coaching helped me get a better grip in the course in general, and it nelps you see things from a different perspective that you didn't see at first."

3 Admissions applications drop slightly Foreign, minority applications up vory Toers Thursday. February,99 The Daily Pennsylvania!! Page [Comparing application rates to the four schools at Penn: 989 & 99 The College of Arts and Sciences 989 level The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences The School of Nursing The Wharton School By AUDREY SMOLKN Applications for the University's Class of 994 are don four percent from last year's class, but the number international and some minority applications increased. Admissions Dean Lee Stetson said yesterday. Applications fell to,75 this year from, last year, and Stetson yesterday attributed the drop to a decrease in the number of high school seniors applying to college. "Across the country, there appears to be feer applicants since there are percent feer eighteenyear-old high school seniors," Stetson said. "We're pleased to see that the drop hasn't been more precipitous." Senior Admissions Officer Erich Furda said that despite the decrease, the University's applicant pool remained strong. "There are feer students applying but they arc just as academically qualified," Furda said. "Overall, feel the Class of 994 ill add as much to the campus as any previous class." Applications have dropped by different degrees in different regions of the country four percent from the West Coast, percent from the North Central sector, and percent in the North Atlantic sector. Most of the North Atlantic decline as from the Ne England States, according to Stetson. "Demographics across the country ill be affecting most schools," Stetson said. Some minority student applications rose, ith nine percent more Asians and five percent more Hispanics applying for admission. But there ere four percent feer black applicants, a figure hich Stetson said follos a national trend. Additionally, international student applications rose 6 percent from last year. The greatest increase in international students came from Singapore, China, Sri Lanka. ndonesia, Latin America and Jamaica. To of the University's schools l t's a deeper pool of very diverse, intellectually gifted students. 9 Lee Stetson Dean of Admissions the School of Arts and Sciences and the Wharton School recorded slightly loer numbers of applications, hile the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Nursing School recorded increases. 7,5 6,64,78, This graph represents the change in numhf r of application- received hv each undergraduate school in the years l u H" "We do not sec this as a problem," Stetson said. "A very positive ord of mouth is being circulated about Penn. t's a deeper pool of very diverse, intellectually gifted students." But several other vy League schools have not recorded a decline in the number of applicants. Cornell University's admissions office, hich last month predicted a five percent drop in applications, ac- tually received to percent more applications. Admission Dean University Susan Murphy said that she as surprised by the increase, since the number of applicants from high school is decreasing. "To percent may not seem that significant but it's impressive considering the dropping rate of high school students applying to col- lege," Murphy said. "n the five Graphic By Emily years that 've been dean, this year has been the most surprising. You can never predict hat is going to happen." Cornell admissions officers said they ere also surprised by the 5 percent increase in early decision applicants, hich resulted in a record total of 75 applicants. "There as also an increased number of minority students, nearly 6 percent of the applicants ere Cuibertson & Brian SmntvOa*/ Pamsytvanian minorities," Murphy said. Dartmouth University's nespaper, The Dartmouth reported last eek that applications to that university shoed little change from the previous year. "Over the next three or four years there ill be a decrease in the number of applicants until about 99," Dartmouth Dean of Admissions Alfred Quirk said. "Still, the class that e are aiming for is not statistically different from last year." BU president to run for governor n an effort to bring "energy and imagination and [a) set of ne ideas to state government," Boston University president John Silber on January 7 announced his candidacy for the governorship of Massachusetts. Speaking in uncharacteristically reserved tones, Silber addressed a standing-room-only crod of more than 6 people, hich included his campaign staff, student supporters and almost all high-level university administrators. During the address, Silber emphasized he ould "make the critical changes that arc necessary in order to ensure a bright future for the people of Massachusetts." Silber stressed higher taxes ould not be a part of the state's future unless "all aste has been removed from the government and e [still] find services that are needed but cannot be covered by state revenue." A governor needs personally to make a "functional analysis" of the state budget to determine hat reductions may be made, he said.

University of Virginia Cavalier Daily Freshmen orried about environment An increasing number of college freshmen are concerned about improving the environment and are illing to ork for that and a variety of other social changes, a ide-ranging survey of freshmen has found. The survey, hich is in its 4th year, as conducted jointly last fall by the Higher Education Research nstitute at the University of California at Los Angeles and by the American Council on Education. t questioned more than, students enrolled this academic year at 4 colleges and universities about their academic interests, social attitudes and goals. Tenty-six percent of the freshmen questioned said "becoming involved in programs to clean up the environment" as very important, compared to 5.9 percent of those surveyed in 986. And 86 percent of the freshmen questioned said "the federal government is not doing enough to control environmental pollution," marking the fifth consecutive year of increasing concern about the environment. The proportion of freshmen ho said they participated in demonstrations in the year before they had entered college reached a high of 6.7 percent last fall. That proportion as greater than the proportion of those ho reported being active in the late 96s, according to the survey.

The Michigan State University State Nes TA shortage plagues Yale history depl The Yale University history department is finding popularity has its price. An unexpectedly high enrollment in history classes this year forced the department to seek funds for at least additional teaching assistants, and made shopping period the eeks at the beginning of the semester hen students attend a variety of classes before selecting hich ones they ill sign up for a time hen professors ere in the market for TAs as much as students ere in the market for classes. While professors are pleased students ant to take their classes, they find the scramble for TAs causes a host of problems, logistical and academic. Discussion sections may ind up having too many students in them, and some TAs might find themselves teaching out of their area of specialization. Assistant professor Stephen Gillon, hose lecture course on American politics and public policy since PALLADUM 6 LOCUST WALK 87»DNE "SUNDAY NGHT DNNER SPECAL" TWO ENTREES FOR THE PRCE OF ONE W/VALD STUDENT.D. 945 attracted 7 people this year, as forced to cancel discussion sections last eek because he had not been able to line up enough TAs.

Gillon said he had made calls to the School of Organization and Management and the American Studies program to find any available TAs. "'ve been... on the phone all eek," he said. "t's a nightmare." At a cost of more than $,, the history department has hired at least additional TAs since the semester began. These include graduate students from the La School, the nternational Relations program, SOM and deaprtments ithin the Graduate School other than history, department registrar Florence Thomas said.

Restuccia added that because SAC Speakers' only responsibility ould be allocation of funds, it ould "far better meet the task than a large, amorphous, changing body."

By AMY PEZZLLO nternational spotlights focused on Philadelphia this eekend, hen the Panama Canal as bombed, Nicaragua as nearly invaded by the United States, and United Nations Chinese delegates ere scolded for inappropriate displays of nationalism. The people behind these actions, hoever, ere not orld leaders but high school students participating in the fifth-annual vy League Model United Nations Conference sponsored by the University's nternational Affairs Association. Approximately 8 students represented 54 nations to create a mock United Nations. University students oversa various committees and acted as chairpersons to the General Assembly. As part of the conference, high school students had researched their nation's political stances and United Nations regulations in order to make the model more realistic. Conference leaders created several mock crises to make the high school students use their researched information and to have the delegates "think quick and respond to potentially dangerous situations," according to Jay Weiner, one of several organizers of the conference. n one mock crisis, the delegations from Panama, Nicaragua, and the United States ere aroused at 4 a.m. to be told that the Panama Canal had been bombed. Fortunately for Central America, the sleepy delegates ere able to discourage the U.S. Government from invading Nicaragua. Other crises delveloped hen the Chinese delegation, students from Columbia Preparatory School, entered their committee meetings sporting Mao Tse Tung pins and Chinese flags. Delegates from other nations accused them of an "ostentatious display of nationalism," and cited UN regulations forbidding such displays. The Columbia Prep students maintained that hile those regulations applied to actual UN delegates, they did not think they ere applicable to model UN students.

BUSNESS MANAGER A Major Addition Marna Whittington almost makes you forget this is an institution run by academics. Unlike academic administrators ho often hide for months behind committee reports, double-talk and secret proceedings, the senior vice president has spearheaded a massive escalation in the University's security efforts. Security is a complex issue that involves government agencies, area residents, and almost every element of the University community. The administration should be applauded for taking decisive action in a timely manner. By adding ne personnel and cars to Public Safety and expanding the patrol area to 4th Street, the University is finally recognizing that its community extends past academic buildings into the rohouses. apartments and businesses of University City. By expanding Penn Bus and Escort Service, the administration has further proved that it considers important the needs of people ho live beyond the boundaries of campus.

Although it is heartening that Whittington has taken an interest in security, such a high-level administrator should not continue shepherding security issues. She may not trust anyone else to coordinating such major increases, but the University's head financial officer cannot be committed to a single issue no matter ho important. Safety is dependant on many University divisions. And just as the University has administrators to run such inter-school programs as career planning and Writing Across the University, there should be a safety chief to coordinate police, escort services, community aareness and the student ton atch programs. Compared to buying ne police cars and hiring ne officers, a single administrator ould be a minor financial investment. But Whittington's efforts have shon that a single, dynamic person can make great impact The senior vice president has an advantage because she plans the budget, but the University also needs someone ho can make sure they spend it correctly. Scholastic Gladiators Ho many times have you alked into a class, seen a group of football players and said to yourself. "Good, this must be a gut; can get an easy A in here."? On Saturdays, e cheer the football players as modem-day gladiators battling for the collective honor of the University. But on Mondays, hen they have exchanged their pads and helmets for jeans and oxfords, our encouragement changes to scholastic scorn. "Athletes are easy intellectual scapegoats," explains assistant track coach Nathan Taylor. "There is a certain stigma attached to athletes here. n general, think they're looked don upon." People's perceptions of athletes are very strange: one day they are seen as heroes, the next they are vieed as morons. There is no reason for athletes to go around campus apologizing for their presence; they have earned it. As much as e ould all like to deny the existence of this negative stereotyping, it exists nonetheless. But is there a basis for it? The University does not compile statistics about the academic success of its athletes. Associate Athle tic Director Denis Elton Cochran- Fikes directs the eligibility process for the University's athletic department, hoever, believes that the athletes are as successful scholaslically as their non-athletic counterparts. "Penn ill not allo onedimensional goals," said Cochran- Fikcs. "This is not the place to come if you envision yourself in a professional athletic career. But if someone ho is a good time-manager committed to doing ell both in academics and athletics and is additionally illing to live ithout many hours devoted to social activities, he or she can not only survive but prosper here." Although the University does not offer athletic scholarships, it does have special admissions procedures for athletes. According to official University statistics, of the,7 members of the 985 entering class, 9 recruited athletes matriculated. n comparison, 97 children of alumni matriculated that year. Athletes must face the same admissions criteria as other applicants. The University, as part of a joint vy League agreement, computes a scholastic predictive index on the basis of high school grades, class rank. Scholastic Aptitude Test scores, and several other criteria. f i There is no reason for athletes to go around campus apologizing for their presence; they have earned it? an applicant falls belo the league minimum, he or she is ineligible for admission. "No matter ho good an athlete is, e ill not admit him if he is not qualified," asserts head football coach Gary Steele. "f you are admitted, you are capable of doing the ork here." Contrary to popular belief, ath- letes deserve to be here. They have met the academic requirements. The standards are not relaxed for them; they are not given privileged treatment. Rather, the process takes into account both the unique addition they ill make to the University community and the significant amount of time they ere forced to devote to their athletic pursuits during high school. Like burgeoning artists, scientists, musicians and riters, athletes add something unique to this campus. And like athletes, each of these groups is granted special consideration in the admissions process. Why, then, does the University community reserve its intellectual prejudice for athletes? The anser is simple. Athletes are the most visible people on campus. Their pictures adorn the back page of the DP daily, and their names are mentioned as often as Sheldon Hackney's. Hassan Duncombe and Brian Keys are more recognizable than Michael Aiken and Hugo Sonnenschein, and this publicity breeds jealousy among their fello students. The University's student athletes represent the pinnacle of achievement. They are ell-rounded, they are healthy, they are smart. n an institution that encourages diversity, they are a necessity. Athletes make the University interesting; they add life. To achieve athletic excellence, it is not necessary to make an academic trade-off. With selfdiscipline and drive, a studentathlete can not only survive but flourish in both aspects of his or her life. The pressure is great, but the reards are greater.

V Franklin Ferguson thron at you or your car from a high-rise indo in Supcrblock? The key is to keep your head up so you can avoid the object, and more important, identify the room number and assailant in the hopes that he or she might be reprimanded. n either case the task is difficult at best Though the first scenario ill be experienced by a very small number of Penn students, the second is a reality for far too many of us. This is especially saddening hen the problem could be easily avoided through the adherence to the simple principles of respect One of the first slogans a Penn football player learns upon his arrival is, "Do better than your best." These ords symbolize the clement of respect that players have for their peers, ho struggle daily to overcome physical and mental challenges of a great game. Players are recruited from nearly every state and come equipped ith the baggage of diverse and often conflicting philosophies regarding such issues as religious preference, sexism and racism (Sound familiar?). But these differences are locked aay ith our school books before each practice, film session, road trip, and game. Our raison d'etre is to compete and succeed; the only thing that matters amongst players is the individual's ability and effort in competition. Players are judged not by their backgrounds, but by the "content of their (playing) character...", and hat they do "beteen the lines." Through the process of interaction, players become friends in spite of themselves. These conditions of respect exist as an oasis on one of the most stratified campuses in the most heterogeneous country of the orld. We are in the midst of a nationide trend, (or is it a premeditated policy?) toards the proliferation of hatred, hich is too often manifested on college campuses. This is especially alarming considering the University's mission as an institution of social, intellectual, and psychological progress. Students should recognize the desire for education, regardless of motive, that exists ithin each of us. Since e share the academic rigors of the University, e should leave our negative baggage at home (or at least ithin the individual dorm). By relating to our common experience Pay Up is it not a possibility that e may foster respect for one another, creating an environment of constructive co-existence? Regardless of the hite maledominated society in hich e live, places of higher learning, including Penn need to be oases of change. t is the responsibility of the University, hich receives $, per year to foster the most conducive environment possible for the development of each student. At the University of Pennsylvania, racial aareness programs such as C.O.L.O.R.S.lCampus Organized Lectures On Racial Sensitivity), and the Diversity Education program ill remain ineffectual until the precepts of respect that they promote are oven into the fiber of the University's conduct code and more important into the hearts of students at Penn. Respect is due everyone, e must "do unto others." To respect an individual means simply to recognize the equal right of every student to full uninhibited enjoyment of the University experience. We should all be free to be just students. As students e need to vie each other as part of a common experience. f as students, e merely stop and think of this experience as shared, c might even stop spitting, yelling, and hurling objects at each other. From a University administrative standpoint, respect implies adapting the sanctions that are currently placed upon convicted offenders of the codes of conduct established by Letters to the Editor To the Editor: ould like to pose a question to the proclamations of the "prolife" advocates, in particular to Theresa Simmonds and her cosigners (DP, /9/9). Ho many children have you adopted? Ho many do you plan to adopt? This seems to me to be a real issue. Anti-abortion activists are alays illing to tell other people that they should have children they do not ant and cannot afford, and offer adoption as an alternative. But have never seen any evidence that these people are part of the solution they propose. t has often been observed that the "pro-life" forces do little beyond saying hat should not be done. Where are all the anti-abortion people eagerly lining up to adopt and provide loving homes for the children hose rights they pretend to champion? And remember, many hite babies and children ho need homes are born desperately ill, afflicted ith drug addictions and ADS, among other ailments. Or they are older children, often troubled and difficult to deal ith as a result of groing up in abusive homes and spending years going from one foster home to another. Many of these children are minorities, hich means they on't be adopted by the affluent hite professionals, hose ads for "healthy hite babies" c alays see in the paper. So my question is, hen are the "pro-lifers" going to put their money - or their families - here their mouth is? Where are the children George Bush adopted? What about Stephen Freind? What about Theresa Simmonds? TANA NORGREN College '89 Free Privacy To the Editor: ould like to remind Theresa Simmonds and the other five "feminists" ho rote the "prohuman" letter (DP /9/9) that no conclusive evidence has proven that aborting a fetus ithin the first trimester of pregnancy can actually be termed murder, and therefore the matter of abortion today lies solely in the realm of religious values. Pro-choice should not necessarily connote pro-abortion. What it should connote is individual reproductive freedom the freedom of every oman to choose her destiny, the freedom of every oman to choose hat is right or rong for herself depending on her on set of cir- i Pro-choice should not necessarily connote pro-abortion.' cumstances and values, and the freedom to accept the consequences of her actions not the consequence of actions by hich she is forced to abide.

7 Campus center report suggests changes in theaters THEATER from page ity use of the Harold Prince Theatre and the Studio Theatre during the peak use periods. n addition, the committee proposed that the Zellerbach Theatre be renovated including reducing the number of seats from over 9 to beteen 5 and 6 and improving acoustics to make it a more suitable facility for performing arts groups. The report suggests that if such renovation is not feasible, then campus center planners should construct to additional facilities: a 5- to 6-seat capacity, highquality acoustic theater and a musical performance facility to seat. Other proposals in the report include connecting the Annenberg theaters ith the campus center through a bridge crossing over Walnut Street. "Let's not forget that students are using Annenberg," Goff said "They are just all trying to use it at the same time. That's not our problem there just isn't enough space." Goff also said that only to or three campus arts groups no use Zellerbach Theatre because of its large size and acoustics ill-suited for musical productions.

But Student Performing Arts Coordinator Kathryn Helene, ho also has not revieed the report, said yesterday that she thinks the campus center committee recommendations are realistic, adding that the committee has "taken (performing arts groups') needs very seriously." Helene said that the creation of a black box theater and renovations to the Zellerbach Theatre ould "significantly" reduce the overlap that groups face in scheduling performances. VPUL Morrisson, ho co-chairs the committee ith Associate Regional Science Professor Stephen Gale, said yesterday that the community must examine both the availability and the accessibility of any theaters. She said that reconfiguration of the Zellerbach Theater may not be feasible and that alternative space must be considered. And campus center committee member Larry Hanauer, also a member of Mask and Wig and the Performing Arts Council, said yesterday that an additional problem ith the Annenberg theaters is that performing arts groups cannot afford to pay technical staff, hom Annenberg requires to be on hand at all times.

8 Page 8 The Daily Pennsylvania!! Thursday, February,99 Gorbachev says he is remaining party chief MOSCOW Mikhail Gorbachev denied a report yesterday that he might resign as head of the Communist Party hile remaining Soviet president, and a leading nes paper called him too valuable to risk losing. Another nespaper, the party daily Pravda, urged authorities to strengthen the poers of the presidency to protect Gorbachev from efforts to oust him. Correspondents covering Gorbachev's meeting ith Brazilian president-elect Fernando Collor de Mello asked about a Western television report that he as considering quitting the party leadership. "All this is groundless," Gorbachev said in remarks that led the Soviet television nes yesterday night. "t is in someone's interest to propagate such things." He added that similar rumors are becoming common in the Soviet Union, and "it demonstrates that e are a different country, a different society. Everything is discussed, and discussed openly." Gorbachev has strengthened the presidency and tried to shift poer from the ruling Communist Party to the elected government. But it is far from clear hether the reforms have gone far enough for him to dare relinquishing the top post in the party, hich has been the source of poer for all previous Soviet leaders. The Pravda article, based on a debate among prominent figures, appeared to tell readers that party poer still is paramount and that the presidency is not strong enough to be the country's main leadership post. The political turmoil comes hile the Soviet Union is torn by nationalist and ethnic violence in Azerbaijan, drives for independence in several republics and an economic crisis. Progressives hope to present an alternative'party program at the meeting. Supreme Court turns today WASHNGTON The Supreme Court turns today, marking the bicentennial of hat by all accounts as "indeed a slo start." By the time the justices announced their first decision to years later, Chief Justice John Jay had been moved to call life in the backater of Washington "intolerable." ndeed, not enough justices even shoed up February,79, to give the high court a quorum. Jay had to put off the court's first meeting until the next day. But it didn't really matter. No case had arrived. The 5th man to succeed Jay, Chief Justice William Rehnquist, recently acknoledged that the court had gotten off to hat as "indeed a slo start." But he said the court "eventually picked up the necessary speed to evolve into a truly co-equal branch of the federal government" The Constitution, ritten in 787 and ratified by the requisite number of states the next year, called for "one supreme court" but President Washington did not nominate justices to the bench until late 789. The next February, only three of the sue shoed up at the Royal Exchange Building in Ne York, then the nation's capital. One, Justice William Gushing of Massachusetts, appeared in a podered ig a British judicial custom that failed to catch on in the ne nation. The next day, Justice John Blair of Virginia arrived and a quorum as had. The court appointed a clerk, admitted some layers to practice before it and, after some other administrative chores, adjourned its first term Feb.. The second term lasted to days later that year. Still no case. The court no announces about 5 decisions each term. Noting that feer than 7 decisions ere issued in the court's first decade, retired Chief Justice Warren E. Burger said recently, " suspect that members of the court ould like the docket to move in that direction."

Bush calls for ne combat troop cuts n State of the Union address, proclaims changes needed after 'revolution of '89' WASHNGTON - President Bush, heralding the "revolution of '89" in Eastern Europe, proposed a sharp ne cut in U.S. and Soviet combat troops yesterday night, saying in his first State of the Union address "the time is right to move forard" in Europe. Bush also announced plans to ithdra ail of the nearly, troops sent to Panama in an invasion to oust General Manuel Antonio Noriega "ell before the end of February."

Today, democracy is restored, Panama is free." With ambassadors from across the orld in attendance, Bush said, "We are in a period of great transition, great hope, yet great uncertainty... " "The events of the year just ended the revolution of '89 have been a chain reaction, change so striking that it marks the beginning of a ne era in the orld's affairs. "Think back," Bush asked Congress and his national broadcast audience, "to the orld e kne as 989 began." n the year since, Communist governments gave ay in Poland, East Germany, Romania, Bulgaria and Czechoslovakia. n such locations, Bush said, "the idea called America is alive." Hours before he delivered his address, Bush telephoned Soviet President Mikhail To Engineering students keep their concrete canoe afloat in this photo from 975. Daily Penntyfcaman Me pholo Gorbachev to advise him of his proposal to cut U.S. and Soviet forces in Central Europe to 95, on each side. n his speech, Bush said: "We recognize that the Soviet military threat in Europe is diminishing but e see little change in Soviet strategic modernization... But the time is right to move forard on a conventional arms-control agreement to move us to more appropriate levels of military forces n Europe." His troop cutback proposal on immediate praise from Democrats, including Senator Sam Nunn, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, ho said it fit "the changing circumstances in Europe and the fiscal pressures" at home.

"Mary is very consistent in her playing," sophomore sixth seed Alexandra Langlois said, it is often hard for her to get psyched for her games because she is playing the best in the country." McGoan adds that the most important part of her squash career as a Quaker has been her coach. "[Coach] Wetzcl is one of my best friends," McGoan said. "She ill go out of her ay to do anything for me. She really understands me and my position as a squash player for Penn." Since McGoan is the Quakers' best, she stands alone on the team. She often practices against professors or members of the Penn men's squash team during daily orkouts because no other member of the omen's team can give her the challenge she needs to practice for her tough opponents. "Occasionally she ill play challenge matches against [second-seed junior] Briana Portell but Mary alays ins," Wetzcl said. "The matches ill go to five games but Mary doesn't lose."

12 Page The Dally Pennsylvania!! Thursday, February,99 Quaker Oats T'S a special day for Oats the ghost of Executive Editors Past has risen to cleanse the DP of the routine crap usually found in this space. Readers ill not find the selfgratifying, cryptic messages spread by Julio (sports editor/ Goofbali Scott Waynehem) to the rest of the staff, nor ill they find idiotic Bud Bol parodies or libelous references to fast-food chains. nstead, e have an opportunity to explain the origins of this section and some theories as to hy it is so routinely fatuous. (We may use such advanced vocabulary from time lo time to confuse the staff.) A bout years ago, the sports editors decided that it ould be a good idea to recognize outstanding achievements in club and intramural athletics. Having a slim budget, the editors figured they could slip in a paragraph or to about a team ithout having to rite an entire story. After a hile, the DP as able to improve its coverage of such events (ntramural standings, like those on page, no run once a eek), and the need for Oats died. Unfortunately, the articles didn't The editors began using the space to call attention to themselves their roadtrips, their parties, their inccstual love affairs, hatever they could dream up at a.m. And no. as the Bud Bol Man says, "t's out of control." JOKE that's hat this section is, but the editors are the subjects rather than the authors We can't explain hy they are so obsessed ith themselves, but they are. Unfortunately, their onderful stories often run short, opening up spaces like this one. The only choice is to ignore it. and hope that you don't have any children ho ant to be sports riters. n the meantime, the rest of us at the nespaper offer our sincerest apologies to our loyal readers. Prism to televise Tuesday's Penn-Princeton matchup NOTEBOOK from page 6 stress fracture in his right foot and has missed the past telve games. Chances are. he on't play again this season. Senior forard Scott Schee missed this season's first five games due to stress fractures n both feet His playing time has been very limited since his return. At midseason. the vy League is second in accuracy from behind the three-point stripe out of the the leagues in Division according to the NCAA Through their first 5 games, the Ancient Eight have made,569 of their 5,878 long-range shots. The vy League has 9.5 percent of their treys, ell above the national average of 6.6 percent. Leading the country in three-point shooting percentage is the Atlantic Coast Conference. Don on Tobacco Road, they hit an even 4 per- cent of their bombs. But the vy League teams have the loest team-scoring average per game, at just over 68 points. That is more than seven points belo the national average. t seems that although the vy -eaguers can hit home ith the three-point shot, they must be having trouble hitting singles. They have hit just 44 percent of their shots. This is the fourth-orst conference shooting mark, and to percentage points belo the national average. At least the vy Leaguers can claim that they ere out studying instead of practicing their shooting. What excuse can the Mid-Eastern, Ohio Valley and Southland Conferences, the three leagues ho shoot even orse than the vies, offer up as the cause of their mason's touch? Tuesday night's Penn-Princeton game ill be televised on cable by Prism. Although Prism has been televising the Quakers' City Series battles for a number of years, this is the first time they ill cover an vy League contesl The Penn-Princeton rivalry as supposed to be televised in both the (from the Palestra) and the (from Jadin Gym) on WBOT Channel 6 in Wilmington. Del. Hoever, that station had financial difficulties and never broadcasted either of the games. n 98-8, the game at Princeton as televised on the no-defunct Philadelphia station. WKBS Channel 48. Back in 98-8, to seasons after the Quakers made the Final Four, their battle ith the Tigers at Jadin Gym as televised on NBC across the Eastern region of the country as the ECAC game of the eek- Last Monday nights Penn Southern Methodist game might have seemed like an odd pairing, but according to the Mustangs- Sports nformation Director Ed Wisneski it asn't. "SMU has played vy League schools in the past," he said. "We ere just looking for an opponent to fill the schedule But, think the educational emphasis of the vy Leagues is something SMC considers as ell. n football no e have also scheduled schools that have an excellent academic tradition like Vanderbilt and Tulane." According to Penn SD Steve Hurlbut and assistant Athletic Director Skip Jarocki, SMU may be looking to upgrade its exposure to the Northest. Some time in the next to years, the Mustangs ill come to the Palestra to complete the homc-and-aay series. The Big Red's Jackson hopes to get his timing don JACKSON, from page 6 poor timing - at the World Junior Championships in taly. "(Playing for the national team as really the greatest experience because got to do a lot of traveling and play a lot of talented guys," he said "We ent to Asia and France, and my last year e played in taly at the World Junior Championships. t as a little disappointing because e ere so close to the medal round, but e lost the game hich ould have placed us in the top four." Jackson's slo start in organized basketball is a factor he feels contributed to his late emergence as a player in the vy League. Jackson is still on a quest for the top spot in the vies. He as part of the vy League Championship Cornell team as a freshman, but did most of his playing on the bench And hen Jackson made his incredible emergence last season en route to being named to the All-vy second-team, he found himself playing for a Big Red team that had slid into the ash heap of the vies. "BJ.'s made remarkable strides since January," Cornell coach Mike Dement said at the end of last season, hen the Big Red, led by Jackson, managed to pull itself into fourth place. "He's been central to our success. Without him e're not the same team." But Jackson is quick to deflect any attention from himself. "None of the records really matter to me, because don't go out to play for myself, go out to play for the team," Jackson said. "t's nice that 've been able to achieve hat 've achieved, but 'm playing to in a championship. 'm only thinking about the vy race." And hopefully, this ill be the year hen Jackson's timing is in synch.

Penn men's basketball team junior guard, on hat he ants to do this eekend, despite possibly having a stress fracture in his right foot. Thursday, February,99 The Daily Pennsylvania!! Page Ex-Penn coach fired in NBA Harter is cut loose and replaced by last-place Charlotte Hornets CHARLOTTE, N.C. The Charlotte Hornets fired head coach Dick Harter, ho coached at Penn from 966 to 97 and led the Quakers to to vy League and to Big Five titles, on yesterday and named assistant coach Gene Littles as interim coach. "At the present time, Mr. (George) Shinn and felt that a coaching change as necessary,'' said team president and general manager Carl Scheer in a statement released to the media. "The decision asn't made due to our ins and losses, e kno that the building process is a long one and that as not a factor. But the development of our younger players and the team is our priority, and ith that in jeopardy, a change as necessary," Scheer said. Harter, 58, as 8- this season and 8-9 in '/, years ith the NBA expansion team. "A coach is a key member of an organization. hire skilled people thinking that they can do the job and give them the freedom to do their job," Hornets oner George Shinn said. "A skill that a coach must have is communication and it came to the point here couldn't, as the oner, communicate ith Dick and kno that he had lost his communication link ith the players." Littles ill begin his second stint as an interim coach. He compiled a 4- record for the Cleveland Cavaliers in hen he replaced George Karl. Littles said he found out about the change at 6:5 p.m., 75 minutes before the Hornets' game in San Antonio, on by the Spurs, Team spokesman Bo Hussey said Shinn and Scheer fle to San Antonio yesterday afternoon, here the Hornets played the Spurs, but ere unable to land because of fog and headed back to North Carolina. Harter, ho as not available for comment, had been criticized over the last fe days by Shinn, Scheer and several players, notably guard Rex Chapman. WBT Radio, hich broadcasts the team's games, reported that Harter met ith his players in a closed meeting earlier yesterday. ithin a day of dying and you read all these things in the paper. t's real hard." Folloing Saturday's home loss to Sacramento, Chapman said the team lacked chemistry. Scheer suggested Harter might not understand that the NBA "is a player's game, not a coach's game." Littles refused to anser questions about Darter's handling of the team, but said, " hope e can become a more open team. We ere very predictable in our half-court game." Harter disagreed ith Chapman's assessments, but he sounded like a beaten man on Tuesday. " don't think your goal as a coach should be to be popular. Your goal should be to help your players," he said. Pro Basketball NEW YORK NBA Commissioner David J. Stem ruled yesterday that officials erred by alloing a game-inning shot that gave the Ne York Knicks a less-than-lastsccond victory over the Chicago Bulls but refused to overturn the game. Stern, hoever, said a ne directive on last-second shots should prevent a similar situation in the future. The Bulls had contended that officials in the Jan 5 game beteen the teams in Ne York should have disalloed the game-inning threepoint shot by Trent Tucker, ho received an inbounds pass by Mark Jackson ith one-tenth of a second left. "The question before me is not hether Tucker received Jackson's pass and released his shot ithin one-tenth of a second plainly, he did not," Stern said in a prepared statement released from NBA headquarters. Stern said that the error by the officials as one of judgement, not a misapplication of the rules, and therefore not a sufficient basis for overturning the game. "The NBA has consistently denied protests on errors in judgement by the game officials," Stem said. Under NBA procedures, a protest may be sustained only in the event of a violation or misapplication of a playing rule, the release said. "We believe e had a meritorious case and the commissioner didn't, thus the matter is closed," said Jerry Krause, vice president of basketball operations for the Bulls.

14 'Why SMU?' Why not SMU? The Penn men's basketball fans need another not-so serious reprimand. Except for a couple of alumni, hardly any shoed up at Moody Coliseum on the campus of Southern Methodist University for the Quakers' big in Monday night. Such a big intcrscctional game, one ould think, ould be orth a three-hour plane ride. All they had to do as cash in their American Express vouchers for a $99 round-trip fare. Total costs? A mere $75. approximately, not including gratuities or extra toels. Oh, and to days of missed classes. But it's only February. Come to think of it, only.6 SMU fans shoed up. So hy did Penn play SMU? An vy League team going headto-hcad ith a Southest Conference team that is just one year into restarting its football program after having been tagged ith the NCAA death penalty a fe years back? t just doesn't make sense. Being a part of the vy League means striving toards higher ideals. University President Sheldon Hackney rote in the 989 vy football media guide about "teams of scholar athletes ho are representatives of their schools in every sense of the ord." These are qualities Penn not only ants in its on teams, but in potential opponents. The Athletic Department seeks competition ith schools that ascribe to similar "high standards," according to Senior Associate Athletic Director Carolyn Schlie. Which "high standards" did SMU aspire to hen they ere called for voluminous NCAA violations including cash payments to athletes enough to arrant the death penalty of to years ithout football? No along comes the nes that Penn might play Kentucky next season - hile the Wildcats arc in the midst of serving an NCAA probation that forbids them from appearing on television this season and from competing in the NCAA Tournament this season and in t's time for the Athletic Department and the University community to make up its mind: Does Penn really believe in the vy League's idealistic commitment or does the University consider itself a part of the less scrupulous Division basketball community? Penn has alked this tightrope since 979, hen the Quakers ent all the ay to the Final Four in Salt Lake City. t's clear that the Penn academic community ants to be associated ith the vy League. But it's just as clear that the same community ants to be part of the bigger arena hen it comes to basketball. Evidence supporting the latter comes out every year ith Penn's opponents. t is the only vy school to play a schedule composed entirely of Division schools, including its Big Five slate. Tradition creates flavor in vy institutions. At Penn. basketball has been a large part of its history. And it's not just the tradition of Penn-Princeton games. t's as much in the Penn-Villanova and Penn-Tcmple rivalries, as ell as going deep into the NCAA Tournament. Penn tradition is being the ninth inningest basketball program in NCAA history. Last year at this time, the Quakers ere the sixth inningest team, but have since been surpassed by Duke, Temple and Notre Dame. And the Quakers haven't had a inning season since For all the benefits Penn receives from being associated ith the other vy schools, the vy League espouses a philosophy on athletics that runs counter to Penn's tradition. And thus the the University is shooting itself here it hurts Quaker fans most - at the Palestra. t's time to resolve this, to reconstruct the vy model. t's time to bring the basketball tradition back. Seeking to get quality teams like Michigan and Kentucky back on the schedule is a step. But it only makes sense if Penn is committed to ils basketball. The only ay to sho that is for the Penn community and its leaders to begin questioning the vy philosophy. Barry Dubro is a College senior and a former sports editor of The Daily Pennsylvanian. Sports Jay Brodaky OP Sanior PMrtooraphef Cornell's Bernard Jackson (left) fights for a loose ball ith to Quakers in last year's 65-6 Penn loss at the Palestra. Timing critical for Jackson Cornell's top shot-blocker feels it's time for Big Red title By GALNA ESPNOZA Timing. For Cornell junior center Bernard Jackson, that ord has alays been a double-edged sord. On the one hand. Jackson's timing on the court has proved impeccable, enabling him to mark a page in the Big Red history books as Cornell's all-time career shot blocker. "'m not the greatest jumper around, and sure don't have the longest arms in the orld," the 6-9 Jackson said in a telephone intervie yesterday, hen asked ho he's been able to bat aay 99 shots. "But 've alays been able to rely on my sense of timing." His timing on the court is one thing. Off the court, hoever, Jackson has experienced many ill-timed moments the most recent being his record-setting performance coupled ith a disappointing 7-66 loss to Columbia. " should have felt great about having set the record, but it just asn't on my mind - all could keep thinking as that e shouldn't have lost," Jackson said. "t as like, one of the sports (information! guys came up to me and told me had broken the record and said, Oh, yeah.' t as kind of messed up." Jackson, ho is also Cornell's leading scorer averaging 4. points per game and the Opponent Spotlight team's leading rebounder ith 7.7 boards per contest, hopes that his timing on't be off hen the Big Red hosts Penn tomorro night (Alberding Field House, 7: p.m.). "Playing Penn is alays a ar, but it looks to be that ay especially this eekend," Jackson said. "They're coming off a big in over SMU. This is probably a bad time to play them." But then again, Jackson has never done Number one McGoan makes W. Squash fun By WENDY SPANDER After reading an article about the Penn omen's squash team's hunger for Yale, senior captain Mary McGoan acted upon this notion. Just before the important match last Saturday, McGoan purchased false Dracula teeth for the other eight members of the team. When Penn coach Anne Wetzel and assistant Julie Anne Harris sa the Quakers earing the teeth, they questioned the team. "We just anted to display our hunger and try to get some team spirit," McGoan said. "The article said e ere hungry so e anted to sho everyone that e ere." As Penn as getting ready to face its opponents, the teeth eased the team members' nerves and provoked several laughs. The Quakers (7- overall, - vy League) ore them for their team picture as ell. This stunt as just one of the many things McGoan has done as the Quakers' captain and number-one seed to promote unity and togetherness on her team. " have alays had fun playing squash," McGoan said. "A lot of people take the game seriously and try to make it fun." "Mary has been a good player and a great part of the team," Wetzel said. "As captain everyone looks up to her." McGoan has been at the top of Penn's ladder for three straight years. As ell as being number one for Penn, she is ranked 9th in the ntercollegiate Squash Association. "She plays against the best in the country," Wetzel said. "Last eekend against Yale, her opponent may in the national ntercollegiate title. There is a lot of pressure on her as the number one player. "Being number one is not easy. She maintains it ith grace and dignity." '/ have alays had fun playing squash. A lot of people take the game seriously and try to make it fun: Mary McGoan Penn omen's squash captain But McGoan is not secure about her position as the top player. While McGoan admits she is alays competitive, she also says she plays because she finds squash fun. Consequently, she modestly questions her number-one seeding. " never thought should be playing number one," McGoan said. " am playing the toughest people in the Please see McGOWAN, page 9 things at the right time. He spent most of his childhood playing basketball ith his older brothers in the schoolyard, hile his friends ere playing ball on local teams. Jackson didn't get around to playing organised basketball until eighth grade. " feel that got off to a slo start since didn't start playing real ball until years after the guys kne did," Jackson said. "While playing out in the park helped me pick up a lot of skills, it also helped me pick up a lot of bad habits like excessive dribbling and traveling." Those bad habits, hoever, didn't affect Jackson's game at St. Michael's High School in Toronto, here he as the team captain and MVP his senior year, nor did they keep him from being named to the Canadian Junior National Team as a college sophomore. But once again Jackson ould fall victim to Please see JACKSON, page Page 6 Th«Daily Pennayh/anian Thursday, February,OO McMahon may be out ith stress fracture By SCOTT WAYNEBERN The stress fracture bug may have bitten the Penn men's basketball team again. Junior singman Paul McMahon, ho is the Quakers' third highest scorer and rebounder this season, said that his orthopedic surgeon Joseph Torg, is "9 percent sure" he has a stress fracture But McMahon also said that this might not keep him from playing. "(Tuesday! ent to Dr. Torg and he said he sa the break in the x- ray," said McMahon last night. "He diagnosed it as a stress fracture but said that he on't be sure until he can see a bone scan. " told (Torg] ant to play. He gave me the go ahead and practiced (yesterday). The foot feels Men's Basketball Notebook percent better than it did on Saturday. ant to play this eekend (at Cornell and Columbia]." McMahon sat out Monday's game against Southern Methodist ith hat as called a sore fifth metatarsi i in his right foot. "(The foot has been hurting for to eeks and it became unbearable during Saturday's practice and had to ask to get out of it," McMahon explained. " didn't practice on Sunday, but thought could have played against SMU. But Coach Franl Dunphy said they ouldn't play me unless they really need to." "t ould not have been a ise decision to play him against SMU," Dunphy said. "f he's healthy he'll play. f he's not healthy, it's not orth taking a risk and playing him. "We on't kno for sure until e get the results of the test back f he has an kind of a fracture it's not the most prudent thing for him to play." McMahon also missed much of last season's preseason practice and the first three games of the season ith a stress fracture in his left foot. " hope this isn't like last year hen missed 5 days ith my left foot," he said. " as supposed to have a bone scan (yesterday] but they are going to reschedule it [today]."

Macon, Temple use second-half run to crush rival St. Joe's, 78-6 By JON BRODSKY Fans ho itnessed Temple's 78-6 trouncing of St. Joseph's last night at St. Joe's Fieldhouse sa to games according to Temple's Ail-American guard Mark Macon. "We play to games a day, and each one is tenty minutes," said Macon. "They had their run in the first half, and e had ours in the second." Temple used a tremendous - run to open the second half and blo aay the Haks. The victory also as the Ols' fifth straight, marking their longest inning streak since the season, hen they ere ranked number one in the nation in the AP poll for much of the season. The statistics and tempo of the game certainly supported Macon's theory. At halftime St. Joe's (4- overall, -7 Atlantic, - Big Five) led the game 8- and had made 59 percent of its shots compared to Temple's meager 7 percent The Ols (-7,9-, -), hoever, came back to in Macon's "game to" 48-5 by making 59 percent of their shots, hile forcing the Haks to shoot a horrid percent from the field. Temple as led in the second half by Macon and sophomore forard Mik Kilgore. Macon, ho scored just six points in the first half, finished ith a game-high 8. Kilgore scored 4 in the second half to give him 7 for the game. The Ols busted the game open by using a trapping-zone press to force St. Joe's into five turnovers in the first five minutes of the second half. The defense led to straight Temple points to start the half, including to three-pointers and a dunk out of the inspired Kilgore. Finally, a lay-up by Haks' guard Chris Gardler 5:46 into the half ended the drought and left St Joe's don, 5-4. "The run had nothing to do ith us, it had to do ith them," said Haks' head coach Jim Boyle. "They're good enough to take us out of our game. Their defense is fabulous." Boyle ent on to discuss the size and talent of the Ols' players and the mismatches they created. "When you have a 6-8 athletic ing player (Kilgore) doubling a guard ith an Ail- American (Macon), there's not much you can do," said Boyle. Temple's athletes still eren't satisfied after their tenty-point run. Folloing Gardler"s lay-up, the Ols' freshman center Do- nald Hodge (7 points, rebounds) had an authoritative follo-up dunk to start another Temple run. After unansered points, the Ols led, 6-4, ith about minutes to play Though the Haks' outscored the Ols the rest of the ay, -8, they never seriously threatened the Temple lead. n the first half St. Joe's utilized timely shooting to build a significant lead. A Rich Steart basket ith :7 left in the half gave the Haks an -9 lead and sparked a 6-6 run, to bring the score to 5-5 ith 7: seconds left in the half. St. Joe's brought an eight point lead into the lockerroom. Unfortunately for SL Joe's, the second-half as a ne game for the Ols' and Mark Ma- Please see TEMPLE, page 9

16 WORD ON THE STREET Shake. Rattle...Roll S o far this year, my fello editors and have produced three issues of a magazine e'd like to call PAP SMEAR!. But e can't, so you kno it as 4th Sheet. We have brought about a number of ne programs to get the magazine off the floor of Houston Hall and back into your hands. Who knos if you ould be reading this if e hadn't come along and salvaged this rag from utter destruction? No, e realize that resistance to change is a natural reaction, and e've taken all the heartless criticism in stride. But it seems that some of you don't read this publication because of the infamous Page Three. This is upsetting and demoralizing, to say the least So let me tell all you non-believers a little anecdote heard from a mysterious stranger hile on a lunch-break three years ago. This is a true story, and it completely changed the ay think. Once upon a time, in a neighborhood that probably didn't look anything like yours, there lived an aged man. This man loved to take strolls through the neighborhood. and many afternoons he as seen shimmying don the suburban sidealks. But time had taken its toll on the man's frame, and he could no longer disguise the shivering in his steps. Because of this disability, the kids in the neighborhood called him "RattJebones." Kids can be cruel. One day. in the cruel month of April, one of these aful adolescents as returning from the video arcade. As he turned the comer onto his street, he sa old Rattlebones talking to his mother on his front porch. He proceeded to bolt in the opposite direction, but his mother had seen him and called him back- When the boy as in range, his mother grabbed him by the ear and pulled him inside. *So you've been calling Mr. Johnson names, haven't you BillyT said his mom. Billy offered a reluctant nod. "Well let me tell you a little story young man. When you ere just a little tot, used to take you out to the park in your stroller. One day left you by the side of the pond BY TMOTHY BARKOW hile ent to fetch the rattle you had dropped.

He jumped into the pond and saved you from certain death. But because of his valiant efforts, the helpful stranger contracted rheumatic arthritis No he can barely alk at all. Mr. Johnson is that man, Billy." Yea, didn't get it either But hat discovered is that everybody scubs {not scrubs, dammit). We've explained the ord before talking shit but making your point.

20 WORD ON THE STREET Shake, Rattle...Roll CONTENTS Cover design by Mike Rockoff and Tim Barko S o far this year, my fello editors and have produced three issues of a magazine e'd like to call PAP SMEAR!. But e can't, so you kno it as 4th Street We have brought about a number of ne programs to get the magazine off the floor of Houston Hall and back into your hands. Who knos if you ould be reading this if e hadn't come along and salvaged this rag from utter destruction? No, e realize that resistance to change is a natural reaction, and e've taken all the heartless criticism in stride. But it seems that some of you don't read this publication because of the infamous Page Three. This is upsetting and demoralizing, to say the least. So let me tell all you non-believers a little anecdote heard from a mysterious stranger hile on a lunch-break three years ago. This is a true story, and it completely changed the ay think Once upon a time, in a neighborhood that probably didn't look anything like yours, there lived an aged man. This man loved to take strolls through the neighborhood, and many afternoons he as seen shimmying don the suburban sidealks. But time had taken its toll on the man's frame, and he could no longer disguise the shivering in his steps. Because of this disability, the kids in the neighborhood called him "Rattlebones." Kids can be cruel. One day, in the cruel month of April, one of these aful adolescents as returning from the video arcade. As he turned the comer onto his street, he sa old Rattlebones talking to his mother on his front porch. He proceeded to bolt in the opposite direction, but his mother had seen him and called him back When the boy as in range, his mother grabbed him by the ear and pulled him inside. "So you've been calling Mr. Johnson names, haven't you Billy?" said his mom. Billy offered a reluctant nod. "Well let me tell you a little story young man. When you ere just a little tot, used to take you out to the park in your stroller. One day left you by the side of the pond BY TMOTHY BARKOW hile ent to fetch the rattle you had dropped. Someho, the stroller started to roll and fell into the ater. screamed bloody murder, but no one ould help me. Suddenly, out of the blue like a bird or a plane came an older man to save the day. He jumped into the pond and saved you from certain death. But because of his valiant efforts, the helpful stranger contracted rheumatic arthritis. No he can barely alk at all. Mr. Johnson is that man, Billy." Yea, didn't get it either. But hat discovered is that everybody scubs (not scrubs, dammit). We've explained the ord before talking shit but making your point. When the pins don't fall exactly into place and you have to stretch the truth to your on ends, thaf s scubbin'. And if you pay close attention, its easy to recognize. Page Three's definitely scubbin'. But nothing gets on that page by chance, everything has a purpose. We debunk the myths. Thaf s kinda our mission. f you find something offensive on the page, if s probably a personal problem. We really aren't trying to piss you off, e're just playing (e don't get paid enough to actually ork). You can laugh ith us or at us, it makes no difference. We control the horizontal e control the vertical. As for Street Society, face it, you don't need a six hundred dollar outfit to get inside the Palladium. f s a campus bar and if if s not the most famous, if s gotta be the nicest. Deal. Scubbin' really isn't supposed to be funny, biting or appalling, e set it up as a reality check. After to and a half years here in Philly, Lar and found this kind of mentality necessary just for gettin' through the day. f s our on little language, but e've cleaned it up the best e could. Hopefully you'll catch most of it. And if you don't get it, don't orry e're just scubbin'. Timothy Barko is a College junior and co-editor of 4th Street. He's got a really hot date tonight.

22 Bad Trip Hopper suffers flashbacks L 4 N^ ' T?? S7 j 'm?-/* it n BY DAN Flashback director Franco Amurri attempts to bring an ne rinkle to a familiar premise: the routine transport of a fugitive ho must be brought to justice. Unfortunately, the premise of a '6s radical being shuttled to jail by a conformist FB agent never lives up to its potential. During the opening credits, images of today's self-indulgence (from liposuction to lotto) juxtaposed ith the self-sacrifice of tenty years ago (from protest to peace march) introduce the movie as a light-hearted look at the motivations and ideas behind both decades. Hoever, Amurri never explores this theme once he sets his ridiculous plot in motion. En route to prison, radical Huey Walker (Dennis Hopper) first convinces straight-man John Buckner (Kiefer Sutherland) that he has dropped acid into his mineral ater. Then, he advises the incredulously gullible FB agent to drink tequila ith beer chasers to lessen the effect. By the time they arrive at the prison, Walker has managed to SACHER sitch identities ith Buckner, landing the Fed in jail. But after Walker is kidnapped and returned by '6s sell-outs, he and Buckner are forced to escape together from the stereotypically corrupt sheriff. FLASHBACK DRECTED BY FRANCO AMURR ATTHESAMERC WRTTEN BY DAVD LAUGHERY. STABBNG DENNS HOPKR AND KEFER SUTHERLAND. But ait there's more. Buckner, the '8s conformist, gre up in these same back oods here he and Walker get lost! n fact, his radical parents lived on a commune complete ith teepees, a geodesic dome, and a psychedelic traveling bus.

The plof s tists and holes are endless big enough to /Ul *- M ft ^M -, MM km \m\v'» _ ** at #"'»*J ^} W ftw/* ' The '6s meets the '8s: Hopper and Sutherland att for the drugs to kick in drive Buckner's parents' psychedelic love bus through. Dragging somehere in the back of the movie is the actual conflict beteen '6s ideals and '8s realities. The film's faults are obvious. First, it can't make up its mind hether to be a fun screball comedy a la Midnight Run or a movie to take seriously, like The Last Detail Flashback alternates beteen extremes of ridiculous coincidence and hokey sentimentality. The result is an aimless film that doesn't ork on either level. Kiefer Sutherland plays the straight man ell. Unfortunately, his character gets lost in the second half of the film hen he undergoes a farfetched though predictable transformation. Dennis Hopper does the best he can ith the little humor he is afforded. But haf s even more bothersome is that Hopper, the same man ho rote and directed Easy Rider, ould appear in a movie hich makes a total mockery of the '6s. To yuppies moum the death of '6s ideals, but then drive off in their BMWs. A oman from the commune dreams of oning a microave. Flashback is indeed full of such tragic irony. We learn that Walker initially resurfaces so he can profit from his autobiographical novel about his year hiatus from the orld. Ultimately, he changes his identity and drives off in a stretch limousine. Boarding his limousine, Hopper quips, "The '9s are going make the '6s look like the '5s." The first comedy of the nineties has trivialized this decade to just that point.

A stoic film executive, Allen Habel, ants to make Nick's first feature; an emotionally highstrung agent (Martin Short) ants to represent him; Gretchen, a vampish soap-opera queen, ants to hitch a ride on his rising star. Nick, though, is that rare commodity: a true innocent He imgaines his first feature to be an intimate, black-and-hite film about to men and a oman locked aay in a small, gingerbread house in the midst of a sno storm.

Written by Guest, Michael Varhol and Michael McKean, 77ie Big Picture shares its sense of humor ith 77iis is Spinal Tap, in hich Guest and McKean took part. fs ingenuously silly, inoffensively stupid and permeated by a demented simple-mindedness. Our protagonist finds Hollyood rather irresistible at first. Eventuality, he's supposed to gro, reassert his individuality and bolster his integrity by making his film on his on terms. Lighthearted and playful, the TTie Big Picture plays as a series of visual gags and a vehicle for some hilarious performances. ts schematic plot doesn't take itself too seriously. One great touch is the difference in decor of each studio head's office: The rooms exist as exaggerated evidence of their oners' concealed emotions. Styles range from earthy Tex-Mex to an austere Modem Gothic replete ith raging, remote-controlled fireplaces. None of the parody is especially scabrous or very piercing. Guest and cre love their subject too much to rip it to shreds. Or maybe they love the idea that ifs so easy to make fun of the aesthetically venal and greedy Hollyood. t doesn't occur to them to make a lacerating and realistic film, something akin to the melodramatic but palpable The Bad and the Beautiful Blake Edards' S.O.B. may have lapsed into incoherency no and then, but at least it shoed some leg. ts Hollyood as lusty and depraved just hat you'd expect The Big Picture is a movie about Hollyood in hich even scantily clad starlets seem out of sync ith the film's porous, fairy-tale feel. A light, elastic actor, Kevin Bacon never brings much personality to a part. As the naive, impressionable Nick Chapman, he orks perfectly. Actually, the film is divided into to camps of acting. One camp, filled ith jejune characters, includes Bacon, his girlfriend, played by Emily Longstreth, and their boring friends. The other contains all the Hollyood caricatures, the best of hich is Martin Short's manic, effeminate agent. He's Paul Lynn crossed ith Katherine Hepburn. J.T. Walsh as the executive Habel gives off a great levelheadedness. Also, Teri Hatcher plays a fetchin' Gretchen. n sum, The Big Picture's silliness is soothing. Gf '.'.-.' '. - 4TH STREET

24 ill Gray is 48 years old. As majority hip of the House of Representatives, he is number three in the Democratic national leadership, a proven fundraiser and a veteran campaigner. He is a commanding speaker, and a politican ho on't sear off designs for national office. Gray is a poerful man, a leader for the ne generation, and his youth should be an advantage. On the rise and apparently not on the make, he is a refreshing change in the era of Abscam, Wedtech and increasingly original sex scandals, a fact hich bodes ell for this preacher-turned-politician. AH you should need to kno is that Bill Gray is there. He is there aiting, perhaps just as the humble representative from Philadelphia he claims to be and perhaps as a man aiting to be president. But that is not all there is because BillGray is black, and that is hy his age is everything. The Capitol is an eminently impressive office building filled ith marble blocks, dour statues and lots of jumpy police officers ith guns. Bill Gray had a young oman ith a big gun standing guard outside his ground-floor office hen came to do theintervie. An officer in Gray's lobby may not officially signal that he has arrived, but it ( a/as sitting in a Chinese restaurant discassin^ the /toue hen / reacizedthat f had missed the store*, (KuiioCfra^ is&oa to ran /for president, it iftnot matter hat'ootfor hepainted f his seemed to imply that he is going somehere. The average members of Congress have to rely for their safety on the metal detectors at the door, and the guard's presence announced that after years Gray had become a super-important person in a building of very important people. Or at least that as hat planned to rite in the profile. had come to Washington to profile the man ho represents Pennsylvania's nd district, abutting the University's district on the est and north. F anted to get a feel for Gray, to combine some quotes from "Capitol Hill insiders" ith a fe nuggets from the man himself, and to predict hether he might be the first black American elected to the presidency. So far, everyone had told me it could happen. The House staffers called him brilliant and unusually adept at creating compromise and progress. The veteran Washington correspondant said he commanded respect on both sides of the aisle, and the conservative Democratic representative from Texas called him a friend. According to Washington protocol, that repre: Texas, as the only one ho ould be quoted b the compliments. He recounted ho Gray took c tee in the early 98s and reestablished party coi had fled ith the Reagan revolution. Stenholm said Gray reconstructed the budget bers' trust and creating compromise here elder hich made him a favorite in the caucus room. "Bill is one of the most liberal members by hi of the most conservative," Stenholm said. "Unck you have to find a middle issue, and have fouro ith. He is honest. You kno exactly here he i his bond." Even in a ton hich thrives on the exchange praise is impressive because hile Gray disagra he has travelled to campaign in Stenholm's homi t is a relationship cultivated over time, and e\ Stenholm paints a positive picture of a man takir ell. " don't think there are necessarily any limitat Stenholm said. "He has alays impressed me as believes the best ay to move ahead is to do the hat you are currently doing. Far too many quot next rung of the ladder, [but] Bill has his eyes or the ton mys and mer mak belv Nev anol F cofi hi squi or and prac face H just as the Washington insiders had predicted, ar considered the presidency question. A brief glim people ould find him impressive if he as j he must be quite a charmer to his peers.

By the time Gray as ready for ihe intervie, as happy enough to move him up a fe rungs myself. An hour behind schedule and anted by at least one other member, he as polite enough to make time for a student riter beteen an appearance on NBC Nes and an appointment ith another Congressman. For half an hour he sipped coffee and ansered questions hile three tape machines squeaked and recorded his every ord. n person he looks confident and poised like a man longpracticed in putting on a public face and comfortable ith himself.

'"What does that mean?' said, 't means the same thing as if ere hite. 'd be dealing ith green.'" Oh, that's good material. t is annoying as a riter to realize someone has hiteashed his ay out of an intervie, but this is the soundbite generation. Gray has a solid base in his party, enjoys a good television voice and demeanor, and he has made at least one journalist feel great ithout ansering his questions. He sounds more like George Bush every time edit this. Take him once through a flag factory and keep him aay from Dukakis's tank, and Bill Gray could be president. Or could he? * could have ritten the stock political profile anyay. Fluff isn't that difficult to put together, and had enough catchy quotes to fill this space. But kept coming back to the question had at the bottom of list: Do you think America is ready for an African-American president? To days after Virginia had elected the first black governor and Ne York City had selected it first black mayor. Gray as upbeat, saying that the country is "moving rapidly toards the day here race ill become less [of a factor.]" "When ill that day come?" he asked rhetorically. " don't kno, but the fact is that the good nes is that e are moving more and more toards that time hen more and more hite Americans are illing to vote for omen and African-Americans and Hispanics." But to months later as tried to frame a profile, as returning to the problem because Gray's anser asn't good enough. as sitting in a Chinese restaurant discussing the issue hen realized that had missed the story. f Bill Gray is going to run for president, it ill not matter hat color he painted his office or hat he thinks makes him a good legislator or any other of the things planned to put in the profile. Talking over grandfather chicken realized that don't kno hat Bill Gray really thinks his chances are, but my efforts had confirmed that America has not yet moved to a time hen race is a moot subject Far from being an unimportant issue, race in American politics has become one that no one ants to think about. t had become an issue that had not thought about, and hen tried to conduct my erudite intervies, ignored the reality. My hallmate told me last year that he thought black people ere naturally slo and inclined to manual labor. Black men still get attacked at bus stops because of their race in the city Gray represents. That is the reality of America 99, and that is hat tried so hard to ignore hen accepted Gray's song-and-dance about the "good nes" for minorities and omen in politics. t hadn't seemed polite to push him and ask: "but sir, have e changed enough to elect you president?" And knoing full ell that Stenholm's hite-bread, conservative Democrat constituents are the linchpin of presidential victory, didn't ask him about race at all. Living in a age hen Americans pipebomb judges and the NAACP, it hadn't seemed polite to grill him either: "but sir, ould you stand on a motel balcony in Memphis ith him, beneath that 'Gray for President' bunting and raise his hand?" didn't feel so inhibited ith my friends, but their ansers ere just as disheartening as my fear of the question. Almost unanimously, they responded a black ill sit in the Oval Office "maybe in years." Tenty years, they told me, ithout any reason for singling out the election. As if it's just a good round number and an anser to a question they don't ant to think about. Bill Gray seems just as qualified and poerful as Bill Bradley or Al Gore, but my friends did not note the discrimination. t as an issue they didn't ant to think about and realized that could not ignore. These young, educated, hite liberals ill be the young idealists carrying the banners in 99. They have cried out against injustice in Prague, Gaza and College Hall, but they sa no need to rail against a system hich they readily acknoledge excludes so many non-hite people. They don't seem to oppose the idea of a black president and sure they'd vote for a good candidate themselves, but realized that none of them as ready to fight for Bill Gray's right to be elected president. could have ritten about voting records, speaking styles and his mother's favorite attage, but sitting in the Chinese restaurant realized that Gray's age is the crucial factor in his political future. Bill Gray is 48 years old. And if it is true, as my -year-old friend said, that the first black president "might take office in our lifetime," then the gentleman from Philadelphia is probably not going to make it. Brent Mitchell is a College junior and executive editor of the Daily Pennsylvanian. He just may be the first president from Fairfax County

26 True Faith 'FNM' is a rock lobster BY JEFF BUCHOLTZ During Faith No More's manic encore of "War Pigs" last Monday night at the Trocadero, one unfortunate stagediver forgot the old proverb about looking before you leap and dived here there as nobody to catch him. Splat! a perfect bellyflop on the very solid floor of the club. ntense pain. But the sho as so amazing that bet even that poor crazed fan ended up loving it. The triple bill of Faith no More, Soundgarden and Voivod as aptly promoted as "The Future of Metal." f that oft-disparaged genre has a future, lef s hope if s embodied in Soundgarden and Faith no More. Formed in San Francisco in 98, FNM has since added ne vocalist Mike Patton, replacing the destructively unstable Chuck Mosely. Unquestionably a change for the better the band nails it right on the head hen they admiringly describe Patton as a "real singer," truly a find in an era hen the guy ith the cutest hair usually gets sent upfront. Faith No More's hot ne album The Real Thing is just that. Strutting brashly through rap, hardcore, funk, thrash metal and even smooth cabaret jazz, FNM simply obliterates genre boundaries. And besides being ambitious and innovative, their unique musical mix is just plain fun. Their frenetic performance at the Troc might have topped even their mind-bloing record. Throughout their hour-long set, FNM dazzled the packed house ith their poerful music and frenzied stage presence. Patton foiled the bouncers by diving into the furiously slamming crod (after looking first, of course) and singing the intro to the spine-tingling, careening instrumental "Woodpecker from Mars" hile being held up, on his back, by the adoring fans in front of the stage. When guitarist Jim Martin kickstarted the jam ith his punk-metal rifling, Patton moved along the outstretched hands of the crod back onto the stage. Then the slamming began again. The band played most of their ne album, along ith some older tunes like their 987 breakthrough hit, the cynical rap-metal statement "We Care a Lot." Dreadlocked drummer Mike Bordin pounded his skins ith a Bonhamlike intensity, demonstrating tremendous skill, particularly on the tender ballad-cum-thrash anthem "Zombie Eaters." FNM finished ith a blistering rendition of the Black Sabbath chestnut "War Pigs," ith the fearless Patton once again mingling ith the moshing audience. By that time, drummer Bordin and most of the crod ere totally, happily exhausted and exhilarated. But there as no rest for them icked moshin' metal maniacs. Seattle's Soundgarden soon came out and proceeded to rip through a sho as intense as Faith No More's. Soundgarden's psychedelic poer blues attack has been extending the frontiers of hard rock since 984, and the recent release of their major-label debut Louder than Love has helped the band achieve some ell-deserved mainstream recognition. Alays unpredictable, Soundgarden orked part of the Guess Who's "classic" tune "American Woman" into their opener, the great ne single "Hands all Over." Explosive frontman Chris Cornell dominated the sho ith his dynamic presence and vocals. At one point, Cornell challenged the crod to get past the bouncers ho ere gleefully repelling ould-be stagedivers. When that only increased the bouncers' tenacity, he dived in himself. Then, a frightening thing happened. Every girl in the club tried to rush toard Cornell, and in the stampede one guy near me got knocked over and lost his glasses. When he bent don to get them, he and his glasses ere mercilessly trampled. He got up to fight another day, but his glasses eren't so lucky. t as truly an intense sho. But like the reckless bellyflopping stagediver, this unlucky guy still ent home happy. The music as that good. Unshaven guitarist Kim Thayil blitzed the crod ith feedbackladen psychedelic metal riffs, and ne bassist Jason Everman fit right in, anchoring the pulsating, slashing sonic assault. The unmistakable highlight of Soundgarden's set as "Big Dumb Sex," from their ne record. This instant classic has hilarious lyrics that most bands can only dream of having the balls to rite. Joined onstage by Jim Martin on backup vocals, Soundgarden tore through a semi-improvised and extra-led version of this song. Tipper Gore ould have been appalled, but everyone in the club sang along and loved it The dual themes of size and sex recurred later in the sho, as Soundgarden offered their interpretation of the Spinal Tap smash The guys: Faith No Mora plays hard, loud and fast "Big Bottom." They then closed ith "Beyond the Wheel" from their Grammy-nominated UltraMega OK album, as fans and band members alike ducked thron containers of Chinese food and cole sla. t as a fitting end to an invigoratingly ra and ild sho. Afterard, talked to FNM's irrepressible prankster Mike Bordin. His first comment as "Why the hell did the Phillies trade Andy van Slyke?" Obviously a mind concerned ith greater things than music. He said that FNM's American tour as over, and ifs off to England no for the recently Grammy-nominated band. So, unfortunately, if you missed them last Monday, ifs going to be a hile until you get another chance to catch their sho. But in the meantime, their ne single, the ear-shatteringly funky and poerful "Epic" (And you thought Living Colour is the ultimate in funk-metal?) is on MTV and their album is moving up the charts. f there's any justice in the music orld, Faith no More ill get their on 9 number ("kids, get your parents' permission before dialing...") and ill be as popular as the Ne Kids on the Block. Well, ifs nice to dream, anyay. 4r The ceman Cometh ce-t raps for free speech e interrupt this program ith a special bulletin America is no under martial la.

The Song's Si the Same 'Zeppelin' clone doesn't keep the faith BY STEVE GLLETTE P hysical Graffiti the Led Zeppelin Sho. That as ho the band sa last Thursday at the Chestnut Cabaret billed themselves. As a rule, you shouldn't judge cover bands by the same standards the original group set. Obviously, if you go see a tribute band expecting all the poer and glory of the real thing, you're setting yourself up for a bitter disappointment. Nearly all the legendary classic rock bands have spaned facsimiles, from the Beatles (Beatlemania) to the Grateful Dead (too many to mention). These bands make noble efforts and usually deserve the support they get. mean, if s still great to hear music that e've gron to love performed live, even if the stars themselves don't play it There's an interesting difference, though, beteen Physical Graffiti and other cover bands. Most of them play songs by the band they're paying tribute to hile also being bands in their on right, playing a smattering their on original tunes. Graffiti, on the other hand, are exactly hat they claim to be The Led Zeppelin Sho. Not only do they avoid original numbers altogether, but they look like Zeppelin, dress like Zeppelin, use the same instruments as Zeppelin and even imitate Zeppelin's stage gestures. ent to the Physical Graffiti sho ith an open mind, determined to judge them in their on right and avoid comparisons ith Zeppelin. But hen they present themselves, for all intents and purposes, as Led Zeppelin, if s difficult if not impossible to remain completely objective. n essence, by blatantly imitating Zeppelin's every move, Physical Graffiti creates the expectation that their music, too, ill parallel Zeppelin's ith equal verisimilitude. Re- grettably for all you Zeppelin orshippers hoping against hope for a reincarnation of the great ones, this just didn't happen. The rhythm section, ith bassist/keyboardist Gary Fox and drummer John Mac, authentically portrayed the musical and physical personas of John Bonham and John Paul Jones. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the featured band members. n "Rock and Roll," the opening song singer Doug Putnam impressed the crod ith an uncanny impersonation of Robert Plant. As the sho progressed, hoever, he just couldn't hit the notes that ere so gloriously carried off by Plant's poerful falsetto. ndeed, his voice seemed to strain constantly for the depth and poer of Planf s, but never quite achieved it. Matthe Heatherman's Jimmy Page as, ell, adequate. He jammed out an especially impressive rendition of Page's violin bo solo in "Dazed and Confused." While his solos reasonably approximated Page's, they lacked the soulful feel that distinguishes Page as a master guitarist. His frequent mistakes on rhythm guitar ere a distraction from the beauty of the tunes. Although disagree ith Physical Graffiti's presentation of themselves as carbon-copies of Zeppelin, others obviously don't. Since they consistently receive bookings in respectable club venues up and don the Eastern seaboard, their approach seems to endear them to many Zeppelin enthusiasts. Physical Graffiti ould probably fare better as themselves, simply playing the music of the band they love, instead of trying to mimic Zep's every move. But by inviting direct comparisons ith a legendary group that can never be equalled, they set themselves up for a big dis'. j, Elvis Hitter Hellbilly Hugh Harris Words For Our Years The Silencers A Blues For Buddha Seig Heil, hound dogs?

29 Art & Soul PMA celebrates black artists J ogging BY ALEX DUNNE up the steps to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, glanced over at the recently replaced Ro.ky statue and said, "Don't you ish you could come inside and see the African-American Art exhibition like me?" He didn't say anything. The exhibit, taken from the Museum's permanent collection, contains paintings, photographs and sculptures by 5 Philadelphia-based black artists. The orks span the past years, but distinct differences in subject emerge beteen orks done before and after the Harlem Rennaissance of the 9s. AFRCAN-AMERCAN ART BY VAROUS ARTSTS AT THE PMA The Renaissance brought an explosion of black culture into the mainstream, freeing black artists to express their racial pride. While the orks before this period focus on hite figures in leisurely situations, the rest of the exhibit portrays far more emotional identity and impact. Before the Harlem Renaissance, oppression forced many American black artists to seek artistic freedom outside the country. After 9 the same exodus occurred for a different reason: artists sought their creative roots in Haiti or Africa. These foreign influences can be noted throughout the exhibit. Romare Bearden's 976 "The Return of Ulysses" displays a strong Haitian influence. Bright colors and distinctly Haitian tunics dominate the painting; a sailing port boasts beautifully dressed inhabitants earing orange, green, red, and yello. Tentieth century orks by Horace Pippin dra on his ar experiences in Europe. Pippin creates an almost apocalyptic image ith "End of the War." Soldiers fight among barbed ire, tank traps and bloodied corpses ith a forboding black forest in the background. Carvings of hand grenades, tanks, guns, and gas masks surround the piece. After 94, all the orks declare a stronger feeling of racial and emotional identity. Pippin's 94 piece "Mr. Prejudice" represents this change in attitude. He denounces segregation ith his specter of immigrant labor driving apart black and hite soldiers, hile a hooded member of the Ku Klux Klan and a black Statue of Liberty look on. The PMA's latest exhibit of African-American art shocases an impressive collection of artists, styles, techniques, and influences.
