Warch: Lawrence won’t vote to divestBy Gordon A. MartinezL a w h k n t ia n M a n a g in g E d it o r

A fina l decision on the issue of South A frican d i­vestment and the fina liz ing o f the u n iv e rs ity ’s budget w ill top the agenda o f the Board o f Trustees spring meeting today.

The trus tees are ex­pected to approve only m i­nor changes to the current policy of investing in com­panies th a t do business in South Africa.

Warch said the invest- m e n t c o m m i t t e e recom m ended a p o licy change th a t was “ not too rad ica l, b u t m od ified to

some extent.”“ I th in k the Committee

on Investm ents responsibly incorporated the (Advisory Committee on South A frica Issues) report in to its own report,” he said

The Advisory C om m it­tee on South A frica Issues called fo r u n ive rs ity d i­vestm ent from companies in support o f A pa rth e id , South A frica ’s rac ia l sepa­ra tion policy.

But the committee, made up p a rtly o f students, ad­vised the un ivers ity tha t in ­vestm ent was acceptable in companies th a t support the

“Statement o f Principles,” a set o f guidelines which en­courages h ir in g o f B lack South A fricans and encour­ages corporations to help discourage A parthe id from w ith in .

The co m m itte e was formed in December of 1990 in response to ca lls by L a w r e n t ia n s A g a in s t A parthe id For D ivestm ent and other members o f the Lawrence com m unity who ca lled fo r Law rence to w ithhold support from com­panies which do business in South A frica.

RLA selection: fair?By Mike WendtL a w h k n tia n K e i*o k tk h

Complaints about the way Residence L ife A dvisers are chosen has led the Dean of Housing's office to form a committee to re-evaluate the selection process.

The co n tro ve rsy has centered around w hether head residents o f dorm ito- ies choose th e ir RLAs on he basis o f friendsh ip or c tua l q u a lif ic a tio n s . In

one case last year, a student who had been brought before Ju d ic ia l Board on assault charges was approved as an R L A . T h e s tu d e n t u ltim a te ly chose not to take the job, but many point to the case as an example o f how the system is flawed.

From The Editor’s Desk

Lawrence’s laissez-faire method of handling student organizations needs some rethinking.

Student groups and organizations, which tend to rise and fall like the tide, are pretty much left on their own to sink or swim. The university will provide money and some advice, if asked, but little commitment or structure. No faculty advisor. No leadership training programs. No lessons on how to keep proper books.

Granted, the rationale behind the hands-off policy is a good one. Dean of Students Charles I^auter said that the college hopes to foster a sense of independence and motivation in students by leaving them to their own ends.The unrestrained approach is tailor-made for bright students who know what they want to do and how to do it. But when that visionary LUCC president steps down or that talented Coffeehouse chair graduates, the group likely falls into disorganization and apathy until the next dynamo comes along. In the meantime, the campus suffers.

This policy would be sound were it not for the fact that certain orgnnizations--particularly large ones like LUCC and the Campus Events Committee-need a measure of organization and professionalism if they are to operate with any stability.

At Lawrence, we’re given a lot to work with and not much else. The university intends to teach us self-sufficiency by its own neglect, but the policy too often leaves students helplessly overwhelmed. Expecting excellence from oneself and others is a lesson rarely learned from a Lawrence extracurricular activity. More oflen, toleration of mediocrity and a vague sense of failure is the rule.

It can be fixed. What the college needs to do is not completely take over the management of student groups, but rather become less reactive and more proactive. The Dean of Students office, with more staff and money, could work to provide some sort of rudder for campus groups adrift on a sea of indirection. A good starting point would be faculty advisors who had a clear idea of what each group is supposed to do and what its limitations are. Some might argue that the individual experience is dampened by structuring, but better that than the current state of collective shoulder-shrugging.

It doesn’t make sense for the university to fund and promote extracurricular only to abandon them. If Lawrence wants a bright collection of student groups, it’s got to extend a helping hand. Displays of commitment tend to be reciprocated.

‘The Other’ is failing to communicateMany o f the letters to the

editor last week were h ighly c ritica l o f The Lawrentian for fa ilin g to report on the foundation o f Law rence’s funky new mag The Other. The Top Ten of two weeks ago was, a p p a re n tly , a “narrow, slanted, feeble a t­tack a t som eth ing T h e Law rentian does not have the courage to handle in a true jo u rn a lis tic m anner” (from Ms. Fauls* le tte r on

p.3). The simple tru th is th a t I approached M a tt Mc­Donald, nom inal head edi­to r of The Other , for an in ­te rv ie w and was tu rne d down. I was told tha t The Other wanted nothing to do w ith The Lawrentian.

We did not report on The Other because we were un­able to do more than “give only a few paragraphs de­sc rib in g m ostly b u rea u ­c ra tic procedure” (again,

Lawrence’s exterior could use a paint job

A few weeks ago my room m ate and I had a prospective student stay w ith us. As we gave h im a tou r o f th is lit t le paradise we ca ll the Law rence campus, I was em bar­rassed. N ot embarrassed by the actions o f a student. N o t embarrassed by the qua lity o f the fac ilities of­fered here. I was embar­rassed by the shabby look th is campus is beginning to take on. I speak here not o f unm owed law ns or shrubbery tha t needs to be pruned, bu t o f the exterior appearance of some of the b u ild in g s .

The wood tr im on Main H a ll is in a te rrib le state. In m any places, espe­c ia lly along the edges of the roof, the paint is peel­ing away and in some spots i t looks as i f the wood is ro tt in g . T h is is the same b u ild in g th a t is a re g is te re d h is to r ic a l landm ark. The southeast co rner o f the C hapel appears to have a large chunk missing from it.

The brown m etal signs which serve to label all the cam pus b u ild in g s a ll have badly oxidized pa in t and a good number and a good num ber are begin­n ing to rust.

A ll of th is may seem a b it t r iv ia l, bu t i t is very im portan t to the image of the school. W hat w ill the parents o f a prospective student th in k about when they are con tem p la ting w r it in g out a check for $18,000? Don’t th in k they won’t consider the physi­cal appearance o f the campus.

The a d m in is tra t io n has seen f it to build a $6.1 m ill io n d o lla r g re en ­house for the conservatory and an a rt center th a t looks as i f belongs in an amusement park, yet i t has ignored the very heart and soul of th is school: the o ld e r b u ild in g s . C e r­ta in ly , we need to mod­ernize, b u t a t the same time, we must preserve the heritage of our college.

Typos and errors and goofs (oh my!)

E rro rs , e rro rs e ve ry ­where! Here’s the o ffic ia l roundup o f goofs from last week’s issue:-M ik e W endt was the au­thor of the page 7 piece on the M a in H a ll cupola.

Ms. Fauls). A h o rrib le thought fo r our vociferous friends, isn ’t it? -w e actu­a lly tried to cover a story in a jo u rn a lis tic fashion and were turned down. As to the Top T e n - I refuse to believe th a t i t has never before of­fended anyone, nor ever w ill again.

A ll th is aside, I would like to address the apparent sch ism be tw een T h e Lawrentian and The Other. There is absolutely no rea­son tha t the two periodicals cannot coexist peacefully on th is campus; there is a standing offer o f an in te r­v iew a ny tim e they are moved to accept it. The po­te n tia l constructive in f lu ­ence of “a forum for the dis­

cussion o f d if fe re n c e ” (P ro fesso r K le b e sa d e l’s words) is v ir tu a lly u n lim ­ited. The in tentions of the founders o f The Other are in te llig en t and ins igh tfu l, and I fu l ly applaud th e ir goals (In case you were wondering, yes, you are s till reading The Lawren­tian.)

U nfortunate ly, th is goal is fa r from being achieved. The Other is saddled w ith the n ea r-insu rm oun tab le goal o f revealing the evils of the white male establish­m e n t to in d iv id u a ls spawned by said w h ite male establishm ent This poses problems th a t The Other has ignored, at the expense of its c red ib ility ;

for the most part, i t offends more than i t educates. In the words of a good friend, “ I th ink The Other is a good thing. I th in k what they’re try in g to do is good. I ju s t don’t want to read it . ” The people tha t The Other needs most desperately to reach are the ones th a t d is lik e - and, more im portan tly , ig- nore --the m agazine the most. I f they continue to fa il to communicate w ith these people, the y are m ere ly in d u lg in g th e m ­selves in self-centered, im ­potent whining. I have ab­so lu te ly no idea how the “others” are going to leap th is hu rd le ; I w ish them lu ck .

Leaving home

For some, g radua tion w ill be like dying a little .

Lawrence has its own rh y th m o f l ife - - its own culture, language, and a tt i­tude. When you come to know a place--have lived there for a time and come to feel bonded to it--the re ’s a part of you tha t never wants to say goodbye, a part tha t w ishes to de lay the unavoidable nod of time. A nervous part of every senior know s th a t th e rea l Lawrence is about to die; its ghost sentenced to live for e tern ity in the glossy pages of Lawrence T(xiay or in the in a c c u ra te con fines o f nostalgic memory.

W ha t is there to be missed about Lawrence? P le n ty ...

•Being in such constant contact w ith 500 or so mem­bers of the opposite sex who are your age.

•T a lk in g so enthusias­tic a lly and unasham edly about u lt im a te ly t r iv ia l th ings (LUCC, the Greek system, etc.) Politics w ill probably never be so much fun again.

Familiar Jargon

Severa l m on ths ago, leaders in the Republican party announced a new neo­conservative outlook for the 1990s w hich they called “ The N ew P a ra d ig m .” Looks like somebody’s been reading the ir Kuhn...

Trustees and Students

Today’s m eeting of the Board o f Trustees is the least secretive g a th e rin g they’ve had in recent mem­ory. For the f irs t tim e, the C ha irm an and P res iden t W arch w i l l make th e m ­selves ava ilab le fo r ques­tions r ig h t a fte r b ig deci­sions have been made.

The step is commend­able, bu t two th ings should be remembered: a) the stu­dent body w ill continue to lack c red ib ility on the board i f few manage to show up to the forum , and b) th is is only a sm all step towards (hopefully) getting a student member on the Board o f Trustees like so many other colleges do.

Schutte takes job at U of Virginia

P r o f e s s o r o fRenaissance history Anne Schutte will leave Lawrence after a sabbatical next year to take a job at the University of Virginia.

Schutte, who has been at Lawrence for twenty-four years, is the second member of the department who will be absent next year. Euro­pean intellectual historian Paul Cohen will be serving as head of the Newberry Li­brary program run by the Associated Colleges of the Midwest in Chicago. He will take a sabbatical the next year.

Professor of History Frank Doeringer indicated that the history department plans to get a new professor in the fall of 1992.

A visiting professor from lOzechoslovakia will help lease the burden on the de- nartment, however. Jivi

Vykoukal, who will teach seven classes in Eastern European history, will be coming to Lawrence next year as the Stephen Edward Scarff professor.

Doeringer said Vyk­oukal would help to fill the gap in European history.

“We won’t have the depth in Renaissance history that professor Schutte could have afforded us,” he said. MBut there will be an interesting array of new courses taking advantage of Central Eu­rope."

Doeringer said that east­ern methods of history are less structured into times and era than western meth­ods, th u s a llow in g Lawrence a glimpse of a whole new type ofhistory.

“We’re beginning to globalize,” he said. “I thinkyou’ll see more of that at Lawrence.”

LUCC extends budget request deadline; gives IMAGE money

The Lawrence U n iv e r­s ity C o m m u n ity C ouncil finance committee a t Tues­day's m eeting extended the deadline from Wednesday to today fo r campus groups to tu rn in budget requests to LUCC.

Jessica Fenlon, LUCC treasu re r, said th a t the com m ittee had problem s f in d in g th e p ro p e r representatives o f various campus groups.

“A lo t o f them have not kept us up to date o f who is in charge,” said Fenlon.

“There have been a lo t of snafus due to a lack o f c o m m u n ic a t io n f ro m

groups.”Leaders o f LU C C

funded groups, according to v ice p re s id e n t T a n v ir G han i, received a memo fro m fin a n ce se c re ta ry W ill McDow a week p rio r to th is past Wednesday’s orig­in a l deadline.

McDow said tha t groups were to have been notified T uesday o r W ednesday about the deadline exten­sion fo r tu rn in g in budget fo rm s .

In addition, the finance committee reported i t gave $1,100 to IM AG E, the cam­pus film series to show three more film s th is term , $3,800

to Am nesty In te rn a tio n a l, $600 to The Other to produce three more issues th is term , and $3,100 to Law rence Crew Team for a fiberglass racing shell.

“They c u rre n tly have d a n g e ro u s e q u ip m e n t* They’ve been m ak ing do,” said Fenlon.

She added th a t the team ’s wood shells were fa llin g apart and th a t a new shell would las t longer and would be safer than wood.

In other LUCC business, the council recognized the A n t h r o p o lo g y c lu b , Lawrence Signs, and the Politica l Science club.

Book exchange gets off groundTwo Lawrence students

are establishing a used book re fe r ra l se rv ice as an a lte rn a tiv e fo r s tudents se lling th e ir books back to C onkey’s. I t w i l l be in operation by the end of th is te rm .

The A vocado Book Exchange, spearheaded by freshm an M a tt B ie tz and sophomore Lyd ia Byhard t, w il l compile a lis t o f book title s and the students who want to sell.

“ We th o u g h t th e Lawrence com m unity was la c k in g an inexpens ive mode o f a dve rtis in g used books, and since Conkey’s doesn’t do such a good job of buying back used books, we s tarted th is service,” said Byhardt.

Once compiled, the lis t can be accessed through a student’s V A X account or lis ts th a t w i l l be posted around campus.

A message exp la in ing how to get in to the book exchange l is t w il l appear upon logging in to the VAX account.

Books w i l l be lis te d according to departm ent, course, a u th o r and t i t le

followed by a lis t o f people who w il l be s e llin g the books.

Though the re fe r ra l service is free, the service does not guarantee the books w ill be used the fo llow ing term or year, the prices the books are sold for, or th a t books can be purchased.

”We were th in k in g o f charging. B u t once people were to pay, then they may th ink we owe i t to a person to guarantee the book sale,” said Byhardt.

“ So, we kep t i t as a service. We don’t deal. We ju s t re fer.”

B yha rd t and B ietz got the idea s it t in g around ta lk in g to friends.

“ F ir s t te rm , a few friends of mine were s itting

around and wondered why we a lw ays had to go to Conkey’s,” said Byhardt.

“ I ’ve never bothered to sell back my books, bu t one friend of mine got $80 for an e n tire y e a r ’s w o rth o f books,” she said.

Final J-Board rule changes prepped; decision in two weeks

In a discussion tha t took over an hour, the Lawrence U n iv e rs ity C o m m u n ity C ouncil has made fin a l am endm ents to the u n i­vers ity ju d ic ia l system.

In its amended form , a tw o-th irds vote of the coun­c il w ou ld approve the changes to the jud ic ia l pro­cess th a t were begun in mid-1989.

John Dreher, chair of the Advisory Committee on Ju ­d icia l Process, was present a t the meeting to help an­swer why the document was worded as i t is and to an­swer questions about the proposed changes.

Dreher summarized the m ajor changes to the ju d i­c ia l process be ing thp

C ritics of the process say the head residents have too much power in the decision.

Senior RLA Laura Wake said th a t the system is “ to ta lly u n fa ir .” She said tha t the nom ination process was good, b u t saw m ajor flaws in other parts o f the system.

“The head residents can choose whoever they want; a lo t of them have know who they want before the process even starts," she said. “The group in terv iew doesn’t re­a lly make a difference and many head residents don't re a lly take the in d iv id u a l in te rv ie w in to considera­tion,” she said. She said th a t a bigger selection com m ittee is needed to c h o o s e t h e R L A s .

Olson said tha t some stu­dents have expressed th e ir concerns over the fairness o f the selection process. "There have been some con­cerns ra ised , espec ia lly over the lack o f student in ­put in the selection process." Olson says th a t he does not th ink tha t the head residents choose th e ir RLA's on the basis of friendsh ip . "That was not the case” , he says. "I don't th in k tha t the head residents were overly d is­appointed w ith the ir choices th is year."

Olson said the committee w ill be charged w ith deal­ing w ith issues like these. On the committee w ill be two head residents and four stu­dents.

One RLA, who spoke on the condition of anonym ity, said tha t there have been se­rious questions raised in the past. “ RLA 's and o the r students have become con­cerned over people who have done w rong ye t made i t th rough the RLA selection process,” said the RLA. “ P lenty o f people do stupid th in g s as freshm en b u t learn from th e ir m istakes

and m ature. On H ie other hand, some people would argue th a t an RLA should have good moral character and th a t h is or her past record would be a good in d i­ca to r.”

K oh le r Head Resident Jennie Robinson, who w ill be on the committee, showed some reservations about the process. “ F a ir is not the word I would use,” she said. “C erta in ly i t is as fa ir as i t can be considering the c ir­cumstances, bu t I can see room for improvements.”

She cited several areas where she th o u g h t im ­provements m igh t be made, inc lud ing : b igger selection com m ittee, sm a lle r group in te rv iew s , more s tudent inpu t and more inform ation from the candidate.

Josh Chassman, a ju n io r on the committee, said the cu rren t system was decid­edly u n fa ir.

“Some of the students in ­volved in the in terv iew pro­cess fe lt tha t the ir inpu t did not rea lly m a tte r,” he said. “ I've heard o f some in ­stances where the head resi­dent said up fron t who he or she wanted even before the in terv iew s were conducted. Some o f us fe lt lik e we

wasted tw enty hours of time co nd u c ting these in te r ­v ie w s .”

He added th a t in some instances students given a low ra n k in g were chosen over those w ith a h ighe r ra n k in g .

Chassman said th a t the com m ittee, which consists o f Robinson, ju n io r Suz- zanne Barrow, h im se lf and three people yet to be named, w ill begin to study the pro­cess in the fall.

“ M ike Olson has given us permission to s ta rt from ground zero,” he said.

Some changes tha t Chas­sman w ould lik e to see would include: more s tu ­dent input, a more random placement o f RLA's ra the r than allow ing the head res­idents to chose, a larger se­lection committee and the

power o f the committee to remove a name from the lis t o f nominees.

Wake said she w ou ld like to see large changes made to the system.

“ I t is im po rtan t to have students invo lved . The biggest problem w ith th is school is th a t the adm inis­tra to rs never ask w hat the students th ink . I th in k bet­te r decisions would resu lt i f

the students were consulted more often,” she said.

She feels the only way to reform the system is to de­vise a co m p le te ly new method of find ing RLAs.

“M any of the head res i­dents feel th a t they are un ­der too much pressure. In many instances they are not re tu rn in g the fo llo w in g year so they are p ick ing RLAs fo r someone they d on 't even kn ow ," she s a id .”

J u n io r R L A B r ia n Huglen said “ I was rea lly impressed w ith the in te r ­view process; they do an ex­cellent job in weeding out people who would not work out. There is very l i t t le m a teria l rew ard ,” he said. “Sure, you get a single and it's something to add to your resume, but i t ’s not like the state schools where they pay you or give you free room and board. For me, the sp iritua l reward of w orking w ith people outweighs any m a te r ia l g a in .” H ug len says tha t he th inks tha t the selection process is fa ir. He adds however, “There is a l­ways room for improvement in any process.”

A ll o f the proposals were required to in ­clude a statement of purpose and a plan for “ a t least one beneficia l a c tiv ity fo r the Law rence and/or Appleton com m unity each te rm ,” according to LUCC housing le g is la tio n .

Schutte takes job at U of Virginia

P r o f e s s o r o fRenaissance h is to ry Anne Schutte w ill leave Lawrence after a sabbatical next year to take a jo b a t the U n ive rs ity o f V irg in ia .

Schutte, who has been at Lawrence fo r tw en ty -fou r years, is the second member o f the departm ent who w ill be absent next year. Euro­pean in te llec tua l h is to rian Paul Cohen w ill be serving as head of the Newberry L i­b ra ry program run by the Associated Colleges o f the M idw es t in Chicago. He w ill take a sabbatical the next year.

P ro fessor o f H is to ry F rank Doeringer indicated tha t the h istory department plans to get a new professor in the fa ll o f 1992.

A v is itin g professor from Czechoslovakia w il l he lp ease the burden on the de- n a rtm e n t, how ever. J iv i

V ykouka l, who w ill teach seven classes in Eastern European h is to ry , w il l be coming to Lawrence next year as the Stephen Edward S carff professor.

D o e rin g e r said V y k ­oukal would help to f i l l the gap in European history.

“We won’t have the depth in Renaissance h is tory tha t professor Schutte could have afforded us,” he said. “ But there w ill be an in teresting array o f new courses tak ing advantage o f C en tra l E u ­rope."

Doeringer said th a t east­ern methods of h is to ry are less s tructu red in to tim es and era than western meth ods, th u s a l lo w in g Lawrence a glim pse o f a whole new type o f history.

“ W e’re b e g in n in g to globalize,” he said. “ I th in kyou’l l see more of th a t a! Law rence .”

'TWENTY-SIX DELEGATES were present this weekend at Harper Hall to attend The Appleton Consensus Conference: Formulating International Guidelines for Decisions to Forgo Curative Therapy. The conference is a culmination of three conferences regarding decisions to forego medical treatment and scarcity o f medical resources and its problems.

LUCC extends budget request deadline; gives IMAGE money

The Lawrence U n iv e r­s ity C om m u n ity C ouncil finance committee a t Tues­day's meeting extended the deadline from Wednesday to today for campus groups to turn in budget requests to LUCC.

Jessica Fenlon, LUCC treasu re r, said th a t the com m ittee had problem s f in d in g th e p ro p e r representatives of various campus groups.

“A lo t of them have not kept us up to date of who is in charge,” said Fenlon.

“There have been a lo t of snafus due to a lack o f c o m m u n ic a t io n fro m

groups.”Leaders o f LUCC

funded groups, according to v ice p re s id e n t T a n v ir G han i, received a memo from fin a n ce sec re ta ry W ill McDow a week p rio r to th is past Wednesday’s orig ­in a l deadline.

McDow said tha t groups were to have been notified Tuesday or W ednesday about the deadline exten­sion for tu rn in g in budget fo rm s.

In addition, the finance committee reported i t gave $1,100 to IM AG E, the cam­pus film series to show three more film s th is term , $3,800

to Am nesty In te rn a tio n a l, $600 to The Other to produce three more issues th is term , and $3,100 to Lawrence Crew Team for a fiberglass racing shell.

“They c u rre n tly have d a n g e ro u s e q u ip m e n t* They’ve been m ak ing do,” said Fenlon.

She added th a t the team ’s wood shells were fa lling apart and tha t a new shell would las t longer and would be safer than wood.

In other LUCC business, the council recognized the A n th r o p o lo g y c lu b , Lawrence Signs, and the Politica l Science club.

Book exchange gets off groundTwo Lawrence students

are establishing a used book re fe r ra l se rv ice as an a lte rn a tiv e fo r s tudents selling th e ir books back to Conkey’s. I t w i l l be in operation by the end of th is te rm .

The Avocado Book Exchange, spearheaded by freshm an M a tt B ie tz and sophomore Lydia Byhardt, w il l compile a lis t o f book title s and the students who want to sell.

“ We th o u g h t th e Lawrence com m unity was la c k in g an inexpens ive mode o f adve rtis in g used books, and since Conkey’s doesn’t do such a good job of buying back used books, we started th is service,” said Byhardt.

Once compiled, the lis t can be accessed through a student’s VAX account or lis ts th a t w ii l be posted around campus.

A message exp la in ing how to get in to the book exchange l is t w il l appear upon logging in to the VAX account.

Books w i l l be lis te d according to departm ent, course, a u th o r and t it le

followed by a lis t o f people who w il l be se llin g the books.

Though the re fe r ra l service is free, the service does not guarantee the books w ill be used the fo llow ing term or year, the prices the books are sold for, or th a t books can be purchased.

"We were th in k in g o f charging. B u t once people were to pay, then they may th ink we owe it to a person to guarantee the book sale,” said Byhardt.

“ So, we kept i t as a service. We don’t deal. We ju s t refer.”

B yhard t and Bietz got the idea s it t in g around ta lk in g to friends.

“ F ir s t te rm , a few friends of mine were s itting

around and wondered why we a lways had to go to Conkey’s,” said Byhardt.

“ I ’ve never bothered to sell back my books, bu t one friend of mine got $80 for an e n tire y e a r’s w o rth o f books,” she said.

“Then we came w ith th is idea. We ta lked about it, but never acted on it .”

B ie tz knew o f the spreadsheet program used by the service, and through the help o f Computer Science Professor James Evans, w ill set up the program.

In add ition to ta k in g names th rou g h cam pus m ail and at the Info Desk, the pa ir w ill have a table in Downer. They also in tend to advertise the service in the New S tud e n t Week packets next year.

Downtown Applet on holds its breath

What’s going to happen to The Avenue?fly Tom Zoellner_____________________L a w rk n tia n E x k cu tiv k Kd it o k

Tied up in the story of the fa ilure of The Av­enue, Appleton’s downtown shopping m all, are two larger, nationwide stories: the savings and loan crisis of the late 1980s, and a trend towards suburban fligh t and the growth o f the suburban shopping mall.

When The Avenue o ffic ia lly opened for business in 1987, everyone involved had good reason to believe tha t downtown Appleton had found a new iden tity for its central re ta il dis- t r ic t—tidy , upscale, and convenient. The plans called for two major departm ent store anchors, 70 or so small specialty shops, fu tu r is tic sky­lights, a food court, and a small waterfa ll. A fter sinking three years, $16 m illion , and one ma­jo r thoroughfare to the project, merchants, civic boosters, and investors alike saw The Avenue as exactly the kind of shopping magnet the city needed to keep local shopping dollars in Apple­ton, and away from the tremendously success­fu l Fox River M all in nearby Grand Chute.

Today, a total of twenty speciality stores s till in h ab it the nearly deserted m all, and the si­lence w ith in the a iry confines of downtown’s greatest hope seems to be contemplative of two things: next Friday’s scheduled departure of its last department store, M arshall Field’s, and the continu ing search for a buyer to take i t off the hands of its mortgage holder

F ie ld ’s is closing May 17 because its parent company, Dayton Hudson, Inc, is b u ild ing a new store in --iron ica lly enough-the Fox River M a ll. F ie ld ’s officials said they d idn ’t want to compete w ith themselves for customers. The other anchor, Prange’s, closed in November 1989.

Local observers are more than happy to offer explanations on why The Avenue failed to draw the needed stores and customers. Reasons for the fa ilu re are diverse: the stores were too up­scale and catered to a narrow range o f cus­tomers, the park ing was inconvenient, the mall was poorly promoted, and investors lost the ir confidence afte r a discouraging f irs t season.

B u t everyone is w illin g to agree on one big con tribu ting factor:

“W hat happened is tha t Fox R iver th ing out there on the highway ju s t k illed it , ” said Green Bay attorney Charles Wheeler, who works as a legal consultant to Superior.

This is a demographic drama tha t re ta il ana­lysts have become fa m ilia r w ith over the last decade: developers b u ild large, convenient shopping malls out on the edge o f a city, which take regu la r business away from tra d itio n a l re ta il areas. Downtown areas across the coun­try are losing the fig h t against what Appleton M ayor Dorothy Johnson called “ m all disease.”

“An outly ing m all dra ins the body. I t ’s hap­pening a ll over the United States,” said Appleton M ayor Dorothy Johnson. “ It's the same disease th a t has h it many cities, and I th in k we have fought back nobly.”

A more im m ediate problem facing The A v­enue is a foreclosed mortgage and a s till unre­solved search for a buyer.

The o rig ina l investors, a group of business­men called The Avenue Co. L td ., borrowed $8 m illio n from an I llin o is bank in 1985 to f i ­nance the project.

But according to sources close to The Avenue, the m all was unable to pay back its loan due to a lack o f p ro fits . The subsequent defau lt only added to the financ ia l problems of its lender, Lyons Savings and Loan of Countrybrook, I l l i ­nois. Lyons went in to insolvency du ring the savings and loan crisis, and was acquired by Superior Bank FSB o f Oakbrook Terrace, I l l i ­

nois--who also inherited the mortgage ,on The Avenue.

Superio r le t The Avenue foreclose on its mortgage, and then bought it again at an A pril11 sheriffs sale for $350,000.

Bids from potentia l buyers are being ac­cepted, according to David Slade, a consultant to Superior. He said he could not discuss details.

Johnson said the c ity w ill not subsidize any potential buyers, bu t hopes to see local investors make the purchase.

W ith an apparent boom in re ta il in the sub­urbs, some see the future o f downtown Appleton as more of a corporate-professional area.

In such a context, the future of The Avenue is lite ra lly wide open. The city council has talked about knocking a hole through the ground level and tu rn ing Oneida Street back into a through­way.

O ther speculation centers on tu rn in g the top two levels in to office space for doctors, lawyers, and real estate salesmen.

For Johnson, the idea of The Avenue going corporate was undesirable for Appleton.

“ I would th ink and hope tha t i t (The Avenue) would stay re ta il,” she said. “ Downtown needs it. Appleton wants it . ”

W hile c ity offic ia ls remain op tim is tic th a t Appleton can keep a re ta il base, others were more skeptical.

“ I t was a severe blow to lose M arshall Field’s and Prange’s, and i t m igh t be fata l to re ta il in tha t area,” said Wheeler.

Some local residents who feel the same way have banded together in a coalition called Con­cerned C itizens fo r Downtown App le ton. Spokesperson Marge C hris tiansen said the group formed out o f anxiety over the fate of The Avenue mall, and w ith it, the entire downtown.

“ I t looked to us as though the entire thought of downtown as a viable m arketing area had been crossed off,” she said. “We want to give a voice to people who want to save downtown Appleton.”

The group circulated thousands of consumer surveys to local residents, and Christiansen said the turnout has shown that downtown has a large amount of citizen support.

About 100 Lawrence students returned sur­veys and expressed support, said Christiansen.

Lawrence U n ive rs ity has the interests of “a good c itizen ” in the fu tu re of downtown, said President R ichard Warch.

“We’re cheek to jow l w ith it , ” he said. “We’re one anchor of downtown. Clearly, we don’t want i t to deteriorate. We don’t want to be driv ing to campus through an area tha t looks like i t ’s down at its heels.”

Lawrence was “a player” in arguing for the construc tion o f The Avenue, and donated $25,000 to the cause, said Warch.

Chamber o f Commerce o ffic ia l Greg H un t said The Avenue’s woes were not the fau lt of the c ity .

“The problem w ith the Avenue is tha t i t got caught up in the S&L crisis, which affected the whole country,” said Hunt, Vice President for economic development.

H un t said Lyons was unable to provide The Avenue w ith enough cash to design storefronts the way re ta ile rs wanted them. New tenants simply d idn’t w ant to pay for the modifications themselves, he said.

Johnson said The Avenue’s problems are a sign of change and not fa ilure for downtown.

“There is a trans itiona l time tha t th is down­town is in now,” she said. “ Its changing and changing its focus. We’ll never be the Fox River M a ll, and we won’t be the same re ta iling area we have been trad itiona lly . We won’t.”

Developer F. John Barlow, who has been de­scribed as the brains behind the project, said the project did what it was designed to do: “ save the life of downtown Appleton.”

"We’ve got the roots; we d idn’t k il l the tree, bu t we d idn’t make a giant oak out of it , ” he said in a telephone call from his C a lifo rn ia home. “ Personally, I ’m disappointed, bu t I’m glad we did what we did.”

Barlow said he got the idea for The Avenue a fte r to u rin g other American cities and w it ­nessing the decay o f the ir downtown areas. He said he wanted to stop it from happening here.

Barlow waved o ff suggestions tha t the m all’s upper-class focus was unhealthy for business.

“The Avenue was a place for people who knew w hat they wanted,” he said. They’re not rich people’s stores, bu t destination stores.”

Barlow said the typical Avenue shopper was supposed to go in to the m all w ith something in m ind and not ju s t to browse.

Barlow said the m all was a good opportunity for an aggressive developer.

“W hat’ll have to to happen is i t ’l l go through the w ringer,” he said. “ Someone w ill pick i t up cheap and have enough funds to b ring retailers back into the picture.”

In the meantime, Barlow said he is not op­posed to an office space-oriented downtown.

In the m all itse lf, feelings are mixed among the managers o f the small specia lity shops. Some are sto ically resigned to staying, while others can’t w ait to leave.

“We’re staying,” said Peggy Beavers, m an­ager of Casual Corner. “We’ve been successful, businesswise, since the mall has opened.”

Beavers said her store never depended on ei­ther of the department stores to draw customers in to the m all. She said Casual Corner w ill try and take advantage of the empty spaces to move to a more visible ground floor location.

A salesclerk in another small store said her bosses were p lanning on leaving as soon as the lease was up. The store was tremendously un ­profitable for the owners, she said. Some days, the store would only get three or so customers.

Some stores are reportedly closing earlie r and earlie r each evening, in defiance of the lease agreement, since i t does not pay to stay open late.

Another manager of a small re ta il store, who wouldn’t give h is name, said he thought the Field ’s pu llou t almost certa in ly meant a change in customer targeting.

“ I f the r ig h t man approaches th is m all, he can do wonders w ith i t , ” he said. “ Where’s the nearest grocery store? They could put something like tha t in here. Or even a movie ha ll. In no way would I w rite th is mall off.”

Another Lawrentian ejcclusive!

Lawyer whistles while he walksBy Karl BrownI-AWItKNTIAN K k |*OHTHH " '

John G. Kellogg is a c iv il and commercial lawyer, a loyal husband of 26 years, and a p illa r of the Apple­ton com m unity. He is, however, much more than tha t; he is the man shrouded in campus myth as “ the w h is tlin g la w ye r.” He graciously consented to do an interview with us Thursday in our effort to separate the man from the legend.

Kellogg has been a lawyer in Ap­pleton for 26 years. He is one of the few masters in a field rife w ith ama­teurs; his reperto ire puts even the most rabid ’’connie” to shame. I t in ­cludes all o f Beethoven’s Symphonies except the 4th, 5th, and 7th; sonatas by Schubert; M ozart piano concerti and Sym phonies 35, 36,40, and 41; H aydn’s Drumroll Symphony, and Handel’s Messiah. The counterpoint in Bach’s works gives him some d if­ficu lty , bu t he has mastered the 5th French Suite, the Mass in B Minor, and the 3rd Orchestral Suite. Easily as amazing as h is reperto ire, how­ever, is his dedication to his music. I t is a walk of fifteen m inutes from his home to his office, and tw enty m in ­utes to court; M r. Kellogg has whis­tled both ways, to both places, for the 26

years he has lived here.He takes his hobby ph ilosoph i­

ca lly : “ law yers are a lways doing som ething w ith th e ir m ouths,” he chuckled.

John K e llogg ’ s ded ica tion to w h is tling goes back years and years, to when he was four or five. H ooked on classical music at tha t early age, he began w histling, his debut perfor­mance being Beethoven’s 8 th Sym­phony on the way home from football practice one afternoon. He whistled a ll throughout his college career fa t UW Madison--he was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fra te rn ity ) and is, of course, s till w h istling today.

H is musical a b ility is, u n fo rtu ­nately, predom inantly lim ited to his daily w h istling . He plays p iano-or, in his words, plays “a t” piano. (H is de fin ition o f hell is being forced to

listen to him play Bach or Mozart.) He b u ilt his own harpsichord in 1965 but, as always, h is true love is his w h is tlin g .

W h is tling not having the reputa ­tion o f other perfo rm ing arts , M r. Kellogg’s few moments in the m usi­cal lim e lig h t have been few and fa r between. Once, in Madison, he was stopped by a woman who recognized

the Haydn piece he was w h is tling at the time. In 1977, he gave a concert in R iverview Lounge, which was te le ­vised on two TV channels and broad­cast nationally on radio fhis accoun­tan t heard i t in M issouri). Lately, his popu larity has experienced a sudden upswing; on one occasion, a woman stopped him, la id a hand on his arm, and told him he sounded wondorful-- her late husband also whistled classi­cal music. John Kellogg’s response to th is s ligh t increase in popularity has been to loyally stand by his pastime: “even when I ’m crabby or want to stay o ff my feet, I feel obligated to put in a perfo rm ance .”

Although he has no plans to start a professional career, he plans to con­tinue w h istling as he always has, and would welcome a critique, a friend ly hello, or a Bach counterpoint should you encounter h im as he treads the paved walks.

When asked whether he had ever considered a broadening of his m usi­cal canon--say, Deep Purple or J im i H endrix--h is response was a quick laugh and a firm no. Th is being the end of our in te rv iew , he stro lled o ff home, whistling.

What’s going to happen to The Avenue?I ly 'Pom Z o o IIm »r__________________________________L a w h k n t i a n E x m 'U tiv k E ih to h

Tied up in the* story of the fa ilure of Tho A v­enue, Appleton’s downtown shopping m all, are two larger, nationwide stories: the savings and loan crisis of the late 1980s, ;nd a trend towards suburban flight, and the growth o f the suburban shopping mall.

When The Avenue o ff ic ia lly opened for business in 19H7, everyone involved had good reason to believe tha t downtown Appleton had found a new iden tity for its central re ta il d is­tr ic t tidy, upscale, and convenient. The plans called for two major departm ent store anchors, 70 or so small specialty shops, fu tu r is tic sky­lights, a food court, and a small waterfa ll. A fte r s inking three years, $16 m illion , and one ma­jor thoroughfare to the project, merchants, civic boosters, and investors alike saw The Avenue as exactly the kind of shopping magnet the city needed to keep local shopping dollars in Apple­ton, and away from the tremendously success­fu l Fox Kiver M all in nearby Grand Chute.

Today, a total of twenty speciality stores s till in h ab it the nearly deserted m all, and the si­lence w ith in the a iry confines of downtown’s greatest hope seems to be contemplative of two things: next Friday’s scheduled departure of its last departm ent store, Marshall Field’s, and the continu ing search for a buyer to take i t off the hands of its mortgage holde*-

F ie ld ’s is closing May 17 because its parent company, Dayton Hudson, Inc, is bu ild ing a new store in -*iron ica lly enough--the Fox River M all. F ie ld ’s officials said they d idn’t want to compete w ith themselves for customers. The other anchor, Prange’s, closed in November 1989.

Local observers are more than happy to offer explanations on why The Avenue failed to draw the needed stores and customers. Reasons for the fa ilu re are diverse: the stores were too up­scale and catered to a narrow range o f cus­tomers, the parking was inconvenient, the mall was poorly promoted, and investors lost the ir confidence after a discouraging f irs t season.

B ut everyone is w illin g to agree on one big con tribu ting factor:

The campus provides many op­portun ities for children to re la x and enjoy th e m ­selves. Many of the c h il­dren come from troub led

hom es, s in g le p a re n t homes, or ju s t have trouble m aking friends.

“The difference tha t the a tten tion of a college age person can make to a young person is re a lly tre m e n ­dous” said PALS volunteer Pat Schubert.

The depth of the PALS program is reflected in the recognition by the LUCC of

a PALS small house for two consecutive years. T h is year’s house has sponsored bow ling and a picn ic for unmatched PALS. A num ­ber o f f ra te rn it ie s and sororities have helped PALS events.

Seigo’s: too expensiveSeigo’s Japanese Steak

house has a te rrib le loca­tion. Since i t ’s way over past old ugly H ighway 41, you’re going to need a car. Plus, the restaurant itse lf is housed in what appears to be an auto body shop.

Maybe tha t’s appropriate, because a meal here is like g e ttin g a new fender: i t looks nice, but i t ’s a lo t of money.

Seigo’s is of a breed of res tau ran t faddish during the 1970s: the diners s it around a huge fla t g rill and watch a chef dice, mince, chop, and sautee your d in ­ner w h ile he tw ir ls his kitchen implements around in s ty lish ways. To give Siego’s credit, th is can be a lo t of fun. But watching a cook gyrate around as he

peppers your shrim p isn ’t quite worth the price o f ad­mission, though.

And what a heavy price it is. I t ’s a good $17 a plate for the com bination d inners, where you can order two items out of an impressive l is t o f edib les: lobste r,

Restaurant Review:Seigo's Japanese Steakhouse. 4100 West Pine Ave.

s h rim p , sca llops, F ile t M ignon, chicken, salmon, h a lib u t, and sw ord fish . S ingle dinners are some­what less at $14. W ith your meal comes a soup, salad, cough s y ru p - lik e p lum

wine, and all the hot tea you can d rink .

The food its e lf is fabu- lous-w hat you get of it. One usually expects to leave a place like th is waddling, but Seigo’s serves decidedly average portions. The food is expe rtly cooked, w ith tasty seasonings to boot. Various flavors of sushi are available for^ around $3 a try . Drinks--exotic d rinks- -w ith paper umbrellas and heavy, sweet liquors are s im ila rly priced.

Seigo’s is a res tau ran t tha t should be visited once- jus t to say you’ve been. But i t ’s p roh ib itive ly expensive prices and generally older clientele make th is place a good one to go to when the parents come for a v is it. Banzai!

Modern works: unusualBy A nge la R oskopL a w h k n t ia n E n t k k t a in m k n t E d it o k

The Law rence U n iv e rs ity W ind Ensemble and Symphonic Band w ill pre­sent a propram of music by d istinguished 20 th century composers on fhe ir fina l con­cert of the season on Sunday May 12, at 3:00 p.m. in the Lawrence Chapel.

Featured on the program w ill be piano soloist Catherine Kautsky, assistant pro­fessor o f piano at the Conservatory. She w ill be perform ing Igor S trav insky ’s Con­certo for Piano and Wind Instruments with the W ind Ensemble. W ritten in 1924, the work, in contrast to many of S trav in ­sky’s fa m ilia r ballets, re turns to composi­tiona l techniques of the Baroque era. The work is contrapuntal in nature and makes use of the fugue, a technique used by com­posers such as Bach and Pergolesi. A t the same tim e the piece has much rhythm ica l interest and the influence of jazz and blues rhy thm s is very apparent, according to K autsky.

The instrum enta tion is very in teresting as well. Instead of w ritin g for piano and orchestra as many 18th and 19th century composers did, S travinsky wrote for w ind

ensemble. Also, t r ^ piano functions more as a member o f the ensemble than as a soloist. A ll of these unusual elements put together create a unique sound character­ized by d ry and precise rh y thm s and sonorous textures.

Ms. K au tsky b rin g s a vory d is t in ­guished background to Lawrence. A g rad ­uate of the J u ill ia rd School and the State U n ive rs ity o f New Y ork a t Stony Brook, she has appeared a t many o f Am erica ’s m a jo r concert h a lls in c lu d in g Carnegie H a ll in New Y ork. She has also won numerous awards in c lu d ing a fe llow ship to Tanglewood, the summer home o f the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

The W ind Ensemble w ill also be per­form ing Lullaby by Leslie Bassett as well as A rnold Schoenberg’s Theme and Varia­tions, op. 43a. For its portion o f the pro­gram, the Symphonic Band w ill present Fantasies on a Theme by Haydn by N or­man Dello Joio, V incen t P ers iche tti’s O Cool is the Valley, o p .18, w ritte n a fte r a poem by James Joyce, and Designs, Images and Textures by Leslie Bassett.

Southern play depresses and fascinates viewersBy Dcrrick DeYarmanT h k a tk k C r it ic

Tennessee W il l ia m s ’ S u d d e n ly L as t Sum m er, p la y in g to n ig h t and Saturday in Cloak Theater, is the s to ry o f a young woman, C a tha rin e H o lly , who has been exposed to too many o f the horrors o f life. She has seen, f.om the th ird person perspective , how b a d ly she has been exploited, the collapse of the d e lic a te “ w eb ” w h ic h supported the poetic sp irit of her beloved Cousin Sebas­tia n , and h is h o rr if ic de­s truction . U n like her re la ­tives, who eagerly bend the “ t ru th ” to meet th e ir needs, Catharine refuses to delude others or herself. In lig h t of he r experiences, i t is not d if f ic u lt to see how th is stance lands her in a men­ta l in s t itu t io n and greatly com plicates he r life . She w il l not sacrifice the tru th ; the te rrib le , tragic tru th .

W illia m s is renowned fo r h is a b i l i ty to give a w itty , i f not comical, edge to h is profound, compelling po rtraya ls o f people s trug ­g lin g w ith ove rw he lm ing personal issues. S u d d e n ly Last Sum m er is something o f a break from th is stereo­type. There is no room in th is b it te r and so rrow fu l s c r ip t fo r the s lig h te s t le v ity , and W illia m s p ro ­

h ib its the use o f hum or to shie ld h is audiences from the razor-sharp in te n t o f th is play.

A script of such depth and d if f ic u lty would challenge any d irecto r, and C harlie Grode is no exception. Nev­ertheless, Grode appears to have made an adm irab le and d ilig e n t e ffo rt - one worth the 8:00 trip to the Con.

Grode seems, most appro­p ria te ly , to place h is m ain focus not on character or p lot development, bu t on the creation o f an a ll-encom ­passing mood. He was for­tunate enough to en lis t the help o f Rich F rie lu n d on ligh ts and Nancy Broeren on set construction . The work o f these ind iv idua ls is worthy o f note, and indeed, bordering on b r i l l ia n t in the ir effectiveness in creat­ing the mood.

U n fo r tu n a te ly , G rode also chose to use a back­g ro u n d s o u n d tra c k to heighten the atmosphere. In ac tua lity , the extra noise tends to muddle the some­tim es confusing rap id -fire dialogue and serves more as a d istraction than effec­tive background. W ith the exception of the fin a l c li­m a c tic m o m e n ts the soundtrack is more like a cheesy sitcom laugh track than the effective orchestral

backdrops Grode attempted to m im ic.

There are on ly a few other d ifficu ltie s w ith th is production. I t is true th a t M rs. F o xh ill (Jenn ife r L. R id le y ), S is te r F e lic ity (Jennie Fauls), and George H o lly (J im Snowden) are in o rd in a te ly tra n s p a re n t and tw o -d im e n s io n a l. However, th is may have been by design on Grode’s pa rt to keep these m inor characters from d ra w in g a tte n tio n away from the main characters. This is a shame, at least in one case, for George H o lly is a poten­t ia l ly co lo rfu l add ition to the cast o f characte rs . Snowden gives th is charac­te r an alm ost ca ffe ine-in ­duced level o f in tensity , but he seems lik e a s tick of dynam ite ready to blow up in any d ire c t io n . H is perfo rm ance could have been improved w ith a mea­sure of discipline.

The cast as a whole, how ever, is q u ite solid. N ancy B roeren is m ost convincing as the spineless M rs . H o lly . M ic h a e l Newton, as Dr. Cukrowke, brings w ith h im such an a ir o f calm con tro l th a t he becomes nearly hypnotic. A b r i l l ia n t job is done by K a therine Shreeves, who p lays C a th a r in e H o lly .

Vikings have their day in the sunFeetbeaters shine Fielders jamBy Fred Andersen_______L a w h k n t ia n S i*o k tb E d it o k

For the only time all week, the sun shone on the Lawrence campus; a com­bination of six V ik ing relay teams and ind iv idua ls also shone last Saturday as LU com peted in the 2 2 nd annual V ik in g Relays.

The women took second place w ith 106 points, 24 be­hind St. Norbert.

The men ended up in a tie for fourth , 50 points b t^ i'nd w inner St. N orbert and 19 points in back of th ird place Illin o is -B e n e d ic tin e .

H eather H ill and Robin Dvorak started the success­fu l Saturday for LU w ith re­spective th ird and fou rth place fin ishes in the 3000 meter run.

The V ikes’ long-distance success continued as Chris N aum ann es tab lished a meet record in the 5000 m^- te r ru n , w ith a tim e o f 15:11.78.

The V ik in g 4x100 relay team o f Diana Ling, Anna Hexter, Betsy B lahnik, and Bridget Nalls contributed to L U ’s early dom ination, as they crossed the fin ished line w ith a w inn ing time of 52.21 seconds.

C hris Setzler and V ickie Leathers then placed in the steeplechase and the 100-

meter hurdles, respectively. S e tz le r’s tim e o f 10:39.19 was good enough for second place, w hile Leathers* 21.5 seconds earned her fou rth place.

Leathers then teamed up w ith N a lls , H exte r, and Tara W illia m s fo r second place in the s p rin t medley. The 200-, 100-, 100-, and 400- meter legs were fin ished by LU in a combined tim e of 2:02.45.

A feature of the V ik ing Re­lays is the 4x100 weight per­sons’ re lay. T h is race is made up only of participants in the fie ld events. L U ’s team o f Lau ra DeWeese, F»*ancine Knox, Barb Huss, and Anna H exter took sec­ond, w h ile in the m en’s race, Chad R ettler pulled a ham string two steps out of the s ta rting block, and the V ik ings had a late fin ish.

The most exciting race of the day was the women’s d is tan ce m ed ley re la y . Lauren G a tti, Betsy B lah ­n ik , and Heather H ill led LU to a sizable lead heading in to the fina l 1600 meters, which was run by Ta ra W illia m s .

Vikes drop last baseball game to Green Knights

The V ik in g baseball team saw the ir season end on a sour note th is past Tuesday, as they were de­feated by St. N orbert 7-5 in the M idw est Conference m in i-p la y ­o ff.

St. Norbert took the early lead by scoring four runs in the f irs t in ­n ing o ff o f senior p itche r B a rt Isaacson. LU came r ig h t back, though, w ith three runs in the top of the second on an RBI single by se­n ior Jason Crook, an RBI ground- out by ju n io r Ryan Stone, and a sacrifice fly by ju n io r Jon Maki.

The Green Knights upped the ir advantage to 5-3 in the th ird and were th rea ten ing to score more. B ut senior Pete M urchie relieved Isaacson and worked out of a bases loaded, no outs situation.

The V ikes f in a lly evened the score at five in the fourth. Fresh­man M ike Spofford delivered a p in ch -h it RBI single, and M aki followed w ith a double to score Spofford.

In the bottom of the fourth, how­ever, St. N orbert scored an un ­earned run aga inst M urch ie to take the lead for good. The Green

Knights added a home run in the fifth to provide the final margin.

Last Saturday, the V ikings swept a non-conference doubleheader from Waukesha Tech by scores of 10-9 and 9-4.

In the f irs t game, LU fell behind9-3 before ra lly ing in the fifth and s ix th in n ing s fo r seven runs. Spofford, M aki, and ju n io r Craig Cook each had two hits while Jason Crook drove in three runs.

Junior Brian Toomey pitched the firs t five innings for the win and senior Joe Krueger, who h it his firs t home run of the season in the fifth , recorded the fina l out of the save.

The Vikes came from behind in game two as w e ll, as a six-run ra lly in the sixth inn ing erased a3-0 defic it. Sophomore Bob De­Meuse went 3 for 4 and Crook was 2 fo r 2. F reshm an Ed Lamm smacked a two-run double in the seventh to close out the scoring.

Krueger went the distance on the mound for the win, g iv ing up only two earned runs.

LU finishes its season w ith a 10-10-1 record overa ll, 4-9 against Midwest Conference opponents.

The com m ittee also made recom m enda tions concerning beefing up stu­dent and teacher exchanges to and from South A frican schools.

Warch said the trustees w ill not act upon tha t rec­ommendation at th is meet­in g .

In other business, the trustees are expected to ap­prove a $32 m illion budget for 1991-92.

According to Vice Pres­ident for Business A ffa irs

Michael O. Stewart, no pro­grams w ill be cut and f i ­nancia l a id w ill be in ­creased by $300,000 in the proposed budget.

"We’ve got to reallocate our resources,” said S tew­a rt.

“ Part of it is for fin an ­cial aid, part of i t is for h igher facu lty salaries.”

Warch or S tew art de­clined to give a percentage in c re a s e fo r fa c u lty sa iaries.

The u n iv e rs ity ended th is academic year a pro ­gram begun three years ago to “Generously raise faculty s a la r ie s ,” acco rd in g to W a rch .

He said tha t the salary and b e n e fits package Lawrence facu lty receive ranks Lawrence in the top 20 percent of all four-year, baccalaureate in s titu tio n s nationw ide quoting figures from the Chronicle o f Higher Education.

“The facu lty wage b ill w ill go up, bu t not as much as i t has in the past three ye a rs .”

The question of the role o f f in a n c ia l a id weighed heavily in the budget pro­cess.

“ A co m m itm e n t has been made by the university

to meet the fu ll demon­strated need,” said Warch.

“ Its a concern. Sm aller amounts are availab le for other th ings, bu t its a ba l­ancing act is to meet tha t co m m itm e n t.”

Warch said tha t though the commitment has served the u n ive rs ity well in a t­trac ting able students, there has been ta lk of going to a m erit-based fin an c ia l aid po licy.

”The trustees are aware of colleges tha t have moved in th a t d ire c tio n ,” said W a rch .

“A t th is point, we’ve not

determ ined its a step we w ill take .”

W arch also said the trustees w ill review and discuss a proposed policy on sexual harassment.

The position at Eastman had been open for two years before S turm accepted the position.

S turm w ill leave Apple­ton August 1 and begin his new position in September.

“ I t was so hard. I ’ve spent h a lf my life in Apple­ton and one -th ird o f my teaching a t Lawrence,” said S turm .

“ I t was hard to contem­plate w hat its like to leave the people, the connections is overw he lm ing.”

The type of connections S turm had made the deci­sion even tougher than firs t appeared.

“R ight to the 11th hour, I wasn’t sure about what to do. My connections are strong here and I love Wisconsin,” he said.

“ I t wasn’t u n til I found a chunk of land out. there tha t looked like home before I decided.”

S turm , whose graduate work was done at both North Texas State U n ivers ity and Eastman, has thought about the job for a long time.

“The position they of­fered me is one I ’ve quietly dreamed of since I got into the business. M y m entor held the position,” he said.

From 1977 through 1984, S turm was also a studio teacher in charge o f low brass in addition to his jazz duties.

In 1985, the Lawrence U n ive rs ity Jazz Ensemble was named as one the three ou ts ta n d in g college jazz ensembles by d o w n b ea t m agazine.

D uring his tenure, sev­eral students have won best student jazz com position awards from both downbeat and the Internationa l Asso­ciation of Jazz Educators.

To S turm , however, the LUJE compact disc due out May 15 serves as a good capstone to his Lawrence years.

“As an a rch iva l prod­uct, i t was the best th ing I ’ve ever been a part of. A ll of the c o m p o s it io n , a r ra n g e ­ments, a rtw o rk and per­formances were a ll from Lawrence,” he said.

“ In fact, the jazz empha­sis makes the job more ap­pealing to the next person to take th is job.”

Even though Sturm w ill venture o ff to New York, he said he s t il l has a special
