Dry T h em e P a rties R e su lt o f D r in k in g A ge

By Jen Ridley

Lawrentian Staff

Since the state of Wisconsin raised the drinking age to 21. the

campus has been faced with some obvious prob­lems. such as alcohol consumption at Greek theme parties. Thus dry theme parties have been one result of the higher drinking age.

The Interfraternity Council has established a 6-man rule' designating 6 sober individuals at each fraternity party who agree to be responsible for exe­cuting and maintaining the legal implications of serving alcohol.

Parent's Weekend Set

By Jeanine Ruppel Lawrentian Staff

For nearly two decades, the parents of college stu­dents tolled and suffer, so that they could accommo­date every need of their children. Now the time has come for them to re­turn their hospitality - the annual Lawrence Parents Weekend ls but a few short weeks away.

Being held this year from Novem ber 4-6. Parents' Weekend is pro­vided so that parents can sample the life their sons and daughters lead away from home.

Many opportunities are

available to parents, al­lowing them the freedom

to experience Lawrence academics, marvel at the power of Viking football as Lawrence faces Ripon College, and witness the great entertainment pro­

vided by the Actors from the London Stage as they perform Much Ado About Nothing.

Other highlights Include the chance for parents to meet faculty members, a question and answer ses­

sion with President Richard Warch. and lunch at J a s o n D o w n e r

Commons. (Reservations

are required.)

the legal drinking age, changes must occur in or­der to avoid the exclusion of the rest of the student body from certain frater­nity and sorority func­tions.

Theme parties; the most unique, best publicized, and well attended events; are intended to attract freshmen to the houses. Due to National Sorority Legislation, h o w e v er , sororities can not co­sponsor parties where al­cohol ls served, which are

geared toward freshmen, or that are formal rush parties.

Therefore, in order to make theme parties available to everyone, a policy change has been implemented: alcohol can

not be served at these par­ties.

Dave Knapp. President of the Interfraternity Council, said that the

money previously desig­nated for the purchase of alcohol will now be in­vested to make the theme parties even better.

M arco F r e u d m a n . President of Delta Tau Delta, adds. “W e ’re doing our part to benefit Lawrence and create a so­cial gathering not cen­tered around alcohol."

Will the dry theme par­

ties attract fewer upper­classmen who are legal drinkers? Knapp thinks the upperclassmen will come to compare the dry parties to those of the past and find that lt ls possible

to have a good time with­out drinking at a party.

One senior addressed several concerns a n d commented. “At least this year it'll work because most of the people will drink ahead of time in their rooms. (The dry theme parties arel a good Idea but could cause prob­lems with people drinking too much tn their rooms and then walking across campus. They could get hurt."

This raises the Issue of minors participating In more 'closed door' drink­ing in the dorms

Freudman points out, “We re relying a lot on the maturity level of the stu­dents."

Bruce Wenger. President

of Beta Theta Pi. sees the dry parties as “a logical decision" and "the only way to include the entire campus for a party." Be hopes the parties are suc­cessful. Perhaps they will be even more successful than parties revolving around alcohol, he added

Most students, upper­classmen. and freshmen

seem willing to give lt a

try. One freshman said that the first few parties

will have to set the pace

for the future of alcohol- free parties.

This weekend. Sigma Phi Epsilons "Busting Out" party begins the sea­son. Phi Kappa Tau's “La Brawl" and Delta Tau Delta's "Safehouse" will follow.

Quayle Blasts Dukakis at RallyBy Tom Zoellner Lawrentian Staff

Republican vice presi­dential candidate Sen. Dan Quayle blasted Democratic Presidential no m in ee M i c h a e l Dukakis in a brief speech tn Appleton l a s t Saturday.

Amidst cries of "Where was George?" a n d “Quayle's a worm" from protesters outside. Quayle said that “you could refer to (Dukakis) as a number of things" in his talk to Republican rally at the O utagam ie C o u n t y Airport.

“You could call him Mr.

Tax Increase, you could call him Mr. Weekend Pass, you could call him Mr. Weak on National Defense, but there's one thing you'll never be call­ing him and that's Mr. President." said Quayle to the sign waving crowd of about 700.

The signs ln the crowd bore various logos, among the "Pro-life. Pro-Bush, Pro-Quayle" and “Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts,"

an apparent reference to Dukakis' heritage.

Protesters outside the rally bor signs reading "Danny spent the war In Indiana" and “Save Jobs, buy Oshkosh Trucks." an apparent reference to Republican presidential candidate George Bush's announcement that he would seek to terminate a defense contract with an Oshkosh firm ln the October 13th televised de­bate. (Dukakis) thinks an oilman ls someone who Just went swimming in Boston Harbor," said Quayle.

Speaking on defense. Quayle lauded the recently signed INF treaty, saying it was a result of “negotiating from a posi­tion of strength."

“That debate...reminds me of what the Packers did to the Patriots last Sunday." said Quayle. “I've got nothing against the Patriots, but I don't think that other team from New England ls go­ing to do so well on November 8th “

Healthcare Neglected by Past Administration

Submitted by The Young Democrats

For the past eight years, health care lias been an issue largely ignored by the Reagan-Bush admin­istration. Despile the fact that Americans pay more each year for medical ex­penses than the people of any other nation in the world (approxim ately $2000 per capita or 11% of the gross domestic prod­uct as opposed to $700 or 6 % in Great Britain and $ 1 0 0 0 or 8 % in West Germany), the United States today remains one of only two industrialized countries that do not pro­vide basic health security- the other nation is South

Africa.Besides spiralling costs,

the consequences of the

Republican administra­tion's blind-eye to health care include a rising in­fant mortality r a t e (currently at 10.4 deaths

per 1000 births versus 9.5 tn Britain* 8.6 ill Germany, and 5 .9 in Sw e d en ); f i n a n c i a l strains on 8 0 % of

American families coping with extended health care;

thousands of critical-care patients being turned away from em ergency

rooms for lack of insur­

ance; and a national AIDS crisis exacerbated by in­different administrative foot-dragging.

As President, Michael Dukakis will seek to re­dress these problems by guaranteeing health in­surance for every American citizen. He will do so with legislation

based on his pioneering universal health care p r o g r a m i nMassachusetts, which was

"It seem s...th e term 'big spending' is only applicable to so c ia l programs...."

passed with the strong support of the state’s

business and medical communities. Such a na­tional health plan with federal coordination and leadership is necessary to restrain health care costs while assuring quality care and advanced medi­cal research.

Also with such a plan, more emphasis will be placed on prevention of injury and disease; such as offering prenatal care for pregnant wome.i at risk; improving infant

and child nutrition pro­grams (serving vegetables, not ketchup, as vegeta­bles); and instituting comprehensive drug and health education in schools.

Finally, Mike Dukakis will work to accelerate re­search and testing for A IDS treatments while protecting the civil rights of AIDS victims through voluntary, confidential testing for the virys. He will renew the lapsed fed­eral commitment to worker safety and right- to-know laws regarding hazardous substances and

actively support, rather than veto, measures for a cleaner, more healthful

environment.

It is humorous that the Republicans have been

able to label the Dem ocrats as big- spenders. It seems thaf the term “big-spending" is only applicable to social programs, not defense

spending.Defending the country

and Its interest is of the utmost importance in this precarious world in which

we live. However, we question the morals and integrity of those who value military hardware more than meal programs for the poor, affordable housing, and environ­mental considerations as George Bush and Dan Quayle have done and would continue to do.

Reagan and Bush persistently claim that the country is better off than it was before they came into office.

“Just shut up. gays, women, environmental­

ists. Just shut up. You'll get everything you want

after the election. But for the meantime, shut up so

that we can w i n . " (Representative Peter

Kostmayer, D-PA).Winning. That is all this

election seems to be about. And if one believes the polls. George Bush and Dan Quayle seem to be

ahead. Who would win under a Dukakis/Bentsen administration when it comes to health care?

The question is one ul­timately of government Intervention. Democrats

will typically try to con­vince the average American that conserva­tives will leave the elderly

out in the cold and the so- called “working man" - to

whom the liberals claim

to embrace - without home or proper medical care.

Yet what ls the position of the liberal ticket this year on health care? The same as the entire eight page party platform, more

and more government in­tervention at the expense

of the U.S. taxpayer, in a

sole paragraph devoted to

health, the Dem ocrats call for increased “access

to affordable comprehen­

sive health services" for

the physically and men­

tally ill. pregnant women,

and Vietnam and other

veterans: “A national health program providing

federal coordination and leadership - an important

first step toward compre­hensive health services."

These are vague initia­

tives but all require more

federal spending and more federal regulation.

W inning. That is all th is e le c tio n seem s to be about."

This Is not the answer -

an answer resulting in the

kind of relocations and strict controls we see in

Great Britain and other nations.

Furthermore, if we ex­

amine one of Dukakis' own plans implemented

in the “great" state of Massachusetts, the Health Security Act. we find that such acts have done more harm than help the state. The act. which the gover­nor and Senator Kennedy

would love to spring on the American populace, requires firms with more than five employees to provide them with health

insurance.

Is i t th e Law rence D iffe r e n c e ?By Colin Fisher

Lawrentian Staff

Shocking as It may seem. I have now commit­ted myself to a third year of enrollment in this Liberal Arls fun palace

Sometime last year I came to the conclusion that I'd

identified and come to terms with all the pecu­

liarities of this campus; I really thought I had tasted

every absurdity Lawrence could possibly muster. But4 was. as you will see. ter­ribly wrong.

Deep down, underneath all of our overly attractive buildings, below the well- mowed grass of the quad and 6ur plaid Art Center, there lies a series of sub­

terranean caverns and tunnels which are un­known to most students and iaculty. Alter hearing rumor of a race of burrowing yet blind mole people living well below

our placid surroundings. I knew that I had to venture down into the depths to find, with luck, what re­ally constitutes the

Law rence D ifference. To protect my readers from the living hell I experi­enced down there. I will not divulge where I gained entry to this labyrinth.

Oh the horror, my friends.

With trepidation I went ever downward. I was to­tally lost, wandering

aimlessly except for my descent. My nerves were

tightly coiled, lest a mole

person should be around the next comer. But let me

tell you, my friends,

nothing could prepare me for what I saw down in

that dungeon of dread.

At last, after what

seemed an eternity. I

stumbled down the right

hall. I had reached my

destination, almost. At the end sat Warch. a col­

lege president’s college president, a knower of ul­timate truths, an eater of Burger Italianos at the grill; my search was over.

“President Warch. what is the L a w r e n c e Difference?”

Alter a long pause he started mumbling some­thing about cable televi­sion. which I didn't really iollow. As I sat puzzling over CNN and HBO . he abruptly stood up and

beckoned me to follow.

As we went deeper and

deeper into Lawrence's underside, sounds of heavy machinery began pounding in my head. At last he opened a door and

pointed within. My friends. Inside that room

was a Dicken’s novel of the 1980's. It was horrible, lt was dehumanizing, lt

Students sit in there own cubicle while they try to suck every last cent from people who attended this school back in the days

when the word “gay" meant being carefree and outgoing. A tall Mr. Roark type of fellow strolls up and down the line of oper­ators saying “Smiles ev­

eryone. smiles."Essentially, the place is

a sweat shop with tele­phones.

I walked up to one of

these miserable tele-mar­

Drug Legalization - C o n

The U S government spends $8 billion annu­

ally on drug enforcement measures — fighting what critics consider a losing

battle against d r u g s . Through the legalization of drugs, these people claim that the m o n e y spent by the D r u g EnforcementAdministration could be used to strengthen drug education and treatment programs. Also, advocates of legalization argue that organized crime will promptly be put out of business and that the gov­ernment will be able to help finance the new drug abuse programs through revenue gained by taxing the legal sale of drugs On the contrary, legalization of any or all drugs will damage the economy. In­crease crime and drug-re­

lated accidents, and de­stroy the value system that is the cornerstone of our social existence.

Any efforts taken to le­galize drugs are risky. Neither the politician,

statistician, or scientist is capable of predicting the results of such a drastic change in governmental policy. Many supporters of legalization foresee a future where pure drugs

are sold at a standard price by licensed dealers in a clean environment regulated by the govern­ment. Supposedly, this would eliminate orga­nized crime's monopoly on dru^s via the black market by cutting out its position as the middle­man between the goods and the customer.

Unless the government is willing to allow citizens to buy unlimited quanti­ties of drugs in an

anonymous environment, however, the black mar­ket will always exist. In fact, the market will most likely grow if taxes ar** levied on legal- sales of drugs.

Also, what's to prevent these measures from get­ting out of hand? Who's to

Imagine a society of entrepreneurs (on the black market or in the drugstores) competing to sell drugs by marketing a wide variety of dangerous synthetics and organics and by creating a product line based on the pure or the not so pure.

Even lf advertising and competition are con­trolled. addiction will not be and medical costs now estimated at $60 billion will soar.

Under a policy legaliz­ing drugs, crime will also soar. Experimentation will increase as drugs are

Friday. October 14, Dr. Elizabeth D u g a n De Stasio, LU '83, spoke on her recent work of creat­ing mutations the ribo- somal RNA of E. c M bac­teria in her lecture enti­tled “Of Mutants aru4 Misfits -- Molecular Studies of E. Coli Ribosome Structure and Function."

The basis of her work is to show that RNA is a very Important component of the ribosome and to show how lt functions in the E. Coli. She described her research as “trying to find

De Stasio described how the mutations are created and how the alteration of a single nucleotide ou‘ of over 3000 in the ribosome can be lethal to Viie organ­ism.

These mutations are created through the dis­ruption of the normal processes in which the nucleotides come to­gether, the process of se­

LUAA L in k s LU GradsBy Carole Wolsey Member of SARC

Life beyond Lawrence sends each Lawrentian along a unique path to­wards a wide variety of vocations and avocations. Yet. a common bond ex­ists among all alum ni: that of being a Lawrentian. Lawrentians. representing many career

fields and regions across the country and world, are dependent upon a body to pull them together and to maintain the link with the life of our college. That linking body ls the

Lawrence U niversity Alumni A s s o c ia t io n (LUAA).

The Board of Directors of LUAA met on cam pus October 13-15 to “Reflect and Redirect" upon their purpose and programs. The purpose of LUAA. lt was confirmed, "shall be to support the mission of

Lawrence University; to

increase the involvement

of and support for the alumni; and to promote an increased awareness of and commitment to the college"

This mission statement manifests itself through a vast array of offerings for both graduates and stu­dent alumn' (LUAA de­fines an alumna or alum­nus as one who has suc­cessfully completed on year at Lawrence.)

Most students are u n ­aware of the resources available through alumni networking. Area club events, career network­ing. class colors, and class reunions are Just some of

the fun tions sponsored by the LUAA.

To better perceive the needs and concerns of the current student body, the LUAA has initiated a pro­gram for increasing young alumni involvement.

“Beginning with the

class of 1988. the LUAA

Board is being expanded to include the President of the Senior class to serve for that year and three successive years." These members (eventually four in number) along with

SARC (Student-Alumni Relations Committee) representatives (two), serve to relay impressions and concerns generated by those a little closer to campus life.

It Is hoped by the LUAA

Board that the Lawrence University A lu m n i Association will foster active involvement and support from Lawrence alumni. We are fortunate to receive an education that extends far beyond the classroom while at Uiwrenee. and lt ls hoped that, following gradua­tion. Lawrentians will

Barreras continues. “We don’t claim to be experts. First we need to educate ourselves before we can educate the community. The house Is advanta­geous because not only can we grow together, but

Each member is on one of the four committees:

campus and community education, public rela­tions. housing, and social. Already the education committee ls in Ihe pro­cess of converting the li­brary Into a resource cen­

ter. and compiling an In­formational booklet.

The pamphlet will be an informational directory

which will provide

women's organizations that are available for re­search. volunteer work, or

assistance. Likewise, the

library will be a place where students can seek additional information about social resources for women In Appleton.

Deb Cullinan. who ls overseeing the service project, stated. “I really didn't realize how mucii

work lt was going to be to do all the things we out­lined in our proposal, but after our first meeting I was amazed at the enthu­siasm."

In addition, after their normal meetings on Wednesdays at 7 p.m.. Light House either invites a guest speaker to the house or holds a discus­sion. Topics of discussion range from articles to the male perspective. Already they have co-sponsored a reception for Susan Seering, who spoke on Gender Studies, and Katy Small, who spoke of the Impact of the family in France. This week senior Steph Figl spoke on the topic of women as leaders. Everyone Is Invited to come or submit a topic of discussion.

In the near future. Light House members would

like to have outside

speakers in Riverview. Right now, however, Light House is short on funds. Treasurer Susan Temple explains that they are do­ing well with the little

money they have, but they need more in order to show how much they have achieved.

S o p h o m o re Sarah Glashagel said. “W e have been writing up our by­

laws to be presented to LUCC in order to be recog­nized and receive a bud­get." This will allow LigM House to obtain funding for speakers, to purchase supplies necessary to comprise all of their in­formation, and use both the university's name and campus resources.

Senior Cathy Bunch

continued. “Everyone is invited to participate." and she extends a special invitation to all the male students on campus.

Republican View

Continued from page 2

O n a local level, this program will cost the state between 1.7 and 2 billion dollars annually by 1993. O n a national level, the cost could run anywhere between 23 and

100 billion dollars.In addition, this na­

tional health insurance will be funded by a wage- based tax. Considering that wages are already greatly taxed - why does the liberal from Massachusetts want to

take even more from w orking m e n and

women?Socialized medicine and

the encroachment of the

federal government Into our lives and pockets ls not what Americans need.

George Bush has a much

more sound and sane an­swer. one that views gov­

ernment ln a restricted

role. Vice president Bush and Senator Quayle sup­port H M O ’s and stand against government m an­dated programs.

Democratic View

Continued from page 2

Mike Dukakis believes thL best America Is yet to come. If Bush ls elected, however, this manipula­tion and distortion of t’ie truth will continue and America will remain stagnant. Dukakis be­lieves ln America and has the ability and knowledge to steer the U.S. back on the right track.

The Republicans say they will remove regula­tory and tax burdens to encourage private health Insurance policies for acute or long term care and work for convertibil­ity of savings. IRAs. life insurance, and pensions for long term care.

The Bush-Quayle plan advocates private and public cooperation to en­courage hospices, in­creased employee choice In selecting health plans, and public and private initiatives to assure ac­cess to health care for all Americans.

In addition, the Republican party en­

dorses state Initiatives to reduce Medicaid costs by providing health insur­ance to low income citi­zens. Thus while Dukakis offers federal government control requiring tax hikes, George Bush and Dan Quayle present a combination of public and private Initiatives that realize big govern­ment Is not the answer.

The women's volleyball team notched another victory last Thursday

I (Oct. 13) with a dramatic | five-game triumph over

Midwest Conference rival. | Ripon College. The win

was the fourth straight win for the Vikes to con­clude a very successful homestand.

The match was a see­saw affair that s a w

Lawrence winning the first game 15-7. Behind Kristyn Fields' strong serving and Ann Brose’s sharp hitting, the Vikings got things going in the right direction. This was followed by a Hat second game in which Ripon breezed to a 15-3 win. The Vikings lost their inten­sity and became a little overconfident after the first game. After Ripon grabbed an early lead the Vikes lost their enthusi­asm and never got it back. Lawrence bounced back in the third gam e and

jumped out to an early lead. Alter some problems serving, the Vikings saw

their 14-10 lead evapo­rate. Ripon scored six unanswered points for a16-14 decision in game three. Lawrence, buoyed by strong fan support, came back in the fourth game to narrowly escape defeat.

Sandy Landis, a senior from Appleton and a four year volleyball veteran, called the crowd. "The largest I've ever seen at ILawrence. I really think it had an effect on our per­

formance.*

Ripon had a 14-11 score

in their favor, and were

serving for match point,

when the Vikes staged their comeback. At this point, they reeled off five straight points to stun Ripon and win the fourth game. The momentum

from this rally carried over to the fifth game where the Vikings stayed in control throughout for 15-9 win.

Up until two weeks ago. the Vikings had not won one match against Ripon in ten years.

Monday. Octobcr 17 saw the Lady Vikes stumble in an attempt to clinch the L a k e M i c h i g a nConference Northern Division title. They lost to

Lakeland College bv 9-15.14-16, 15-12. 15-12. and15-9. The loss appeared tainted by poor officiat­ing. but nevertheless dropped the Vikes into a tie lor first with Lakeland.

Saturday ts a big day for the Vikes In a key

Midwest Conference They will try to raise their 9-1 1 record ln a matchup with Bellot College. A win over Bellot would plact* L a w re n c e ln the Championship round of the playoffs on Nov. 4-5

H ead Coach Am y Proctor said. “I have a ^ood feeling about the

Bellot match. It'll be

homecoming and it's a Saturday match which the players love They'll be pumped up."

The second quarter, however, was the exact opposite. Towards the end of the quarter. St. Norbert scored fifteen points ln less than five minutes.

Lawrence tried to stage a comeback when quarter­back Carl D IR a im o ndo hit Gary Just lor a 16 yard touchdown strike at 7:03 of the third quarter. However. St. Norbert (now 5-1 overall and 5-0 in conference) scored two

more touchdowns to put the game out of reach.

Despite the loss. Coach Rich Agness said “I think we are really pulling to­gether. We've had a lot of injuries and players play­ing out of position. I commend the players for

Calling it the "most bal­anced field I’ve seen." head coach Mary Poulson put her team in the middle of a five-team pack she thinks will slug it out for this year's crown.

This should be a wide- open tournament," said Poulson. "There are five teams that have some very good players and any one of those five could do lt. A lot will depend upon the draw and when cer­tain players and teams meet each other."

In addition to her own team, Poulson tabbed Be­loit, Cornell, Know an d Ripon as potential conference champions.
