LUCC passes new Constitution

The final production of the 1977- 78 LU Theatre season is “Shakespeare’s Kings,” written and directed by Asst. Professor Fred Gaines. The play consists of scens from “Richard II, Richard III, and Henry IV.”

Gaines described the play as being “Elizabethan England, as seen through the eyes of Elizabeth I, using Shakespeare’s plays to connect the events in her life.”

In seeking a dramatic focus, Gaines recreated Elizabeth’s two suitors; The Earl of Essex and Sir Walter Raleigh. The two men are portrayed as rivals for E lizabeth’s favor. Both characters are present throughout the play.

Citing the difficulties of “fin­ding a new way to look at E lizabeth ,” Gaines chose to “deal with Elizabeth as an ac­tress. The play implies that she was able to put on a mask that presented pleasure or displeasure, as she saw fit.”

She flattered or insulted her subjects, according to her whim . . . she was indeed the “King.” Her relationships with the characters in “Kings” are, for the most part, “ fanciful and ficticious,” says Gaines.

At Monday’s meeting LUCC unanimously approved the new Constitution. The document is the result of revision begun in the fall and carried out through the rest of the year.

On Thursday students and faculty will be asked to vote on the Constitution in an all-school referendum.

The Constitution in its entirety appears on Pgs. 4-5. Jim Deming representing the LUCC Com­mittee on Self-evaluation, and President Don Sweeting sum­marize the major changes in the document as follows:

—The sentences are carefully worded and punctuated to leave no doubt in their interpretation.

—The organization of the contents is more structured and conforms more closely with the form suggested in Robert’s Buies

of Order.

—New purposes cited are: to support activities consistent with the Lawrence community’s welfare, and to provide op­portunities for leadership.

—Representatives may be recalled by a petition of two- thirds of the members of the constituency represented rather than by a majority vote of the constituency.

—The President-elect and the Vice-President-elect are non­voting members (unless already members) of the LUCC and of the standing committees which they will chair when in office.

—Freshmen may run for office.—The President is a non-voting

member of each LUCC com­mittee, excluding the Polling and Elections Committee.

—Appointed officers are ap­proved in the spring to assume office in the fall.

—Faculty may petition a special meeting.

—All meetings are open to the public.

—If a representative is unable to attend, a proxy from the representative’s constituency is eligible to attend on behalf of the representative.

—The Executive Committee, an elite group of officers and administration empowered to act on matters in the stead of the Council, subject to the approval of the Council, is abolished.

—The former Committee on Committees, which previously appointed members to com­mittees, prepared the budget, and disbursed the General Fund, is divided into two committees: a Committee on Committees, (President and four represen­tatives) which appoints members to LUCC and other committees; and a Finance Committee (Vice- President, Treasurer, and seven representatives) which prepares the budget and disburses the General Fund. The Finance Committee also prepares the budget request from the University each fall. A newly appointed officer will be secretary to the Finance Com­mittee. Decisions of the two committees must be reported to the Council.

To avoid further confusion between by-laws, legislation, resolutions, and so on, one article defines these various acts and describes how they are approved or changed. The faculty and students are empowered to pass legislation

The Council was also presented with a proposal for a Student Advocate. The proposal was developed and unanimously approved by the Ad Hoc Com­mittee on Grievance Procedures. The function of this position would be “to advise and assist any student who requests advice or assistance on matters relating to student rights and respon­sibilities.”

The selection process for the Student Advocate was stressed. The Committee on Committees will initially solicit nominations from the Judicial Board, Honor Council, faculty and outgoing Student Advocate. The Student Advocate will then be selected on “the basis of a written ap­plication and a personal in­

Editor’s Note

Speaking of speakersEmily Prager (Titters, National Lampoon) spoke here on

Friday. Her talk was well publicized and, judging from attendance, a large number of people anticipated a worthwhileevent.

She is probably a talented woman. Her credentials in the field of humor are not to be taken lightly. Nevertheless, the evening was disappointing.

Rather than presenting new material or attempting any spontaneous humor, Ms. Prager read from Titters, which has been available in bookstores for some time. The material suffered not only from age but from uninspired delivery and the lack of illustrations which provide half the fun of the book.

Allowing for the fact that Ms. Prager might have been having a bad day (or, in her own terms, her period) the evening retains the memory of squashed expectations. Another question arises independently of the individual speaker: What speakers has Lawrence had this year who have drawn the audience Ms. Prager did while living up to expectations?

Lawrence offers a variety of speakers in an academic year, but most seem to appeal to a small segment of the community. One argument in favor of this state of affairs might be that, to a liberal arts student, a lecture in bio­chemistry should be as interesting as one on the internal politics of Ghana or the poetry of Thomas Chatterton.

This, unfortunately, is not generally the case. It seems that if each interest group were willing to take a small budget cut a general fund could be created to get at least one big- name lecturer on campus every year. Perhaps the means to this end already exists in the Special Events Committee or the Committee on Public Occasions. If so, something in the system is awry.

If Downer Feminist Council had had such a general fund to turn to, their monetary contribution might have been used to get Gilda Radner (Saturday Night Live). Maybe this suggestion smacks too heavily of “mass culture” but the guaranteed satisfaction of listening to and perhaps questioning George F. Kennan, Linus Pauling or Gary Trudeau seems worth forfeiting the presence of one or two less stellar names.

In the past Lawrence has presented the likes of Monroe Beardsley and Angela Davis. If they did not meet with universal approval they at least generated some excitement. Why not make occurances of that magnitude an annual event?

Questionable plexiglas charge

To the Editor:Ask a company man for his

opinion and you will surely get a status quo response. 1 am not necessarily suggesting that Lawrence University is a “company” or that Bertrand Goldgar is its “man.” However, what he considers “malicious nonsense” on my part is what 1

believe to be God’s own truth. If such is not the case, then I beg that the matter be put to the test. Let every faculty member who tenured under the old system submit him-herself to the very same “ extensive process of evaluation” to which the non­tenured are currently sub­jected—and live by the results.

Until quite recently, academic institutions were, in the main, given to a policy of continued and blissful expansion. Teachers, one

assumes, were not hired without at least some amount of deliberation. In those halycon days junior faculty, unless they disappointed most every ex­pectation, were eventually granted tenure. Several of my senior (and much respected) colleagues here at Lawrence have made it clear that tenure in the good old days involved little more than the desire to see that a man with a wife and a couple of

kids did not, abruptly, find himself unemployed.

To my way of thinking, it is abysmal nonsense to suggest that Dean Warch—or anyone else— can “improve the quality of teaching” of those faculty members who are already tenured—if they, themselves, are not so motivated. Freezing one’s salary or academic grade, which

is about the only action that the administration can take, would seem to be, in the final analysis, wholly inappropriate for in­creasing academic productivity. The person under attack need only dig in his (or her) heels until they reach the age of retirement. And with nothing further to lose, their conduct towards students and colleagues alike is bound to worsen.

When retrenchment is com­pleted, this university will be something on the order of 90 percent tenured. It will indeed be the triumph of the status quo. Mr Goldgar’s knotty problem (i.e. “the bad grace with which some faculty members are leaving” ) shall have been resolved; everyone will be gone. And so, too, will much of Lawrence’s hope for the future.

Some words in defense of physical educationM adam Editor,

There recently has been a great deal of discussion on campus about dropping the physical education requirement presently imposed upon freshmen. The controversy is that the Com­mittee on Instruction feels that freshmen should no longer take the presently required three gym courses (l-16th credit each) in order to graduate. I feel that the Committee on Instruction should take another glance at this proposed plan, and spend more time looking at both the pros and cons of this situation. I would like to point out a few reasons why I don’t feel that this plan should be implemented.

First, dropping the academic credit awarded for completion of the class would probably result in poor attendance.

The motivation of that mere 1-

6th credit is needed by many people to attend classes, classes which I ’ve heard very few complaints about.

Not only is the credit needed, but the requirement is needed. If you weren’t required to attend physical education classes, what are the chances that you’d make it over to the gym at all within the first term, or even the second?

It is apparent that most people are wary about the unknown, and if freshmen aren’t familiarized with the gym in the first year, when will they be? Granted, the students interested in sports will find their way over there within a short time, but what about the rest of the class?

The main reason I feel that the requirement is needed is to promote campus activities outside of studying. As a fresh­man, Lawrence academic

standards and expectations can come as quite a shock, and the student can easily fall into the routine of constantly studying without taking a break. Gym classes often prevent this from happening, as well as allowing the students to meet other people. Also, gym classes give students a way to find out about and join varsity sports, as well as learn new sports.

I hope that I ’ve pointed out a few ideas that may not have previously crossed your mind, for I truly feel the physical education requirements are a must.

Respectfully submitted,— K R IS L. H O FFM A N

Editor's Note: The proposal of

the Com m ittee on Instruction will

be d iscussed a t the fa c u lty

meeting this afternoon in 161

Planned famine results announcedDear E'ditor,

The members of the Ad Hoc Committee for Planned Famine ’78 would like to thank the members of the Lawrence community who participated in and supported the fast on Tuesday, May 16.

The success of a fast, however, does not lie in the amount of people who sign up, or in the amount of money which is sent overseas. Success lies in the ability of the fast program to change attitudes about the food in the minds of those who fast.

The idea is not to “make it through the day,” but to come to the point where you equate your

tem porary , uncom fortab le grumbles of hunger, and weakness with the permanent emptiness of those who live and die hungry.

We hope that many of you came to this point Tuesday for it is only through a change of attitude that we will be able to make any progress against the great problem of a hungry world.

A total of 165 Lawrence students signed up to fast.

Kovitz asks is the Socratic method “new”?To the Lawrentian:

In last weeks’ issue I read the following: “Povolny knows and agrees that values and ideas must be taught but skills are necessary to ‘advance and enhance’ these values. Povolny also believes in the teaching of facts.” Mr. Povolny’s defense of Lawrence’s “established, tested values and procedures” seems to assume that my (revol­

utionary??) insistence on students’ active involvement in learning somehow excludes the traditional teaching of skills and facts.

But my views in no way imply the necessity of choosing between teaching values as opposed to skills, ideas as opposed to facts. I have been speaking of attitudes toward the business of teaching

To the E'ditor:

The physical plant charged the residents of Ormsby $8.40 to buy and install a 9”xl8”x V piece of plexiglas in a fire extinguisher compartment. I called the Hoeffer Co. on 613 W College Avenue and learned that I could buy the same piece of plexiglas for approximately $3.00.

Thus, the physical plant must have charged Ormsby’s inhabitants approximately $5.40 to go and get and to install the plastic—a price which seems too high. To charge $5.40 to travel 9 blocks and back (if indeed they did—it is quite possible that they already had some plexiglas at the

plant) and to unscrew and rescrew four screws seems suspiciously excessive.

It also causes me to believe that charging $40 to repair a hole in a plaster wall and $135 for replacing a cushioned chair, of the kind that is found in Ormsby students’ rooms, is too much.

I concede that Ormsby students themselves should have bought and installed the plexiglas; but the fact remains that the $8.40 bill is too high. Undoubtedly, we’ve been screwed.

L.U. security: “Still no answer'’To the Lawrence Community:

At 2:15 a.m. Sunday, May 21st, I called the Campus Security Guard. There was no response so I hung up and called again. There was still no answer. After the 6th attempt, I called the Appleton police, who in turn told me to notify the Dean of Men. As Dean Lauter’s home phone number is not listed in the directory posted next to the phone, I called President Smith. He did not answer.

At 2:45 I called the Security Guards 2 more times. There was

still no answer.

Although I had originally called because of a disturbance outside of my window, I persisted out of indignation. I couldn’t help thinking that I might have been calling because I was in personal danger.

When I notified Dean Lauter’s office about this incident, I was informed that security guards are supposed to be on duty 24 hours a day during weekends. Where were they?

and toward the business of learning.

As far as I know, my new­fangled, unrealistic belief that the student must be actively, personally involved in order to learn, and that it is the teacher’s responsibility to involve him, was first put into practice by Socrates.

Thanks, tree-plantersEditor:

Just a note of gratitude and appreciation to the students that turned out to seed the Native Restoration and plant the trees for the Hawthorn Den. I am sure the Lawrence community and the city will long appreciate your contribution. I realize the con ditions were somewhat adverse, but without you the projects could not have been completed.

Thanks again.HAROLD G IN K E

LETTER.5 LETTERS LETTERS Beach Day, peach day,

Siblings Committee voices complaintwhat’s all this nonsense Penn?

Dear Editor:We are writing for two reasons.

The first is to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to the majority of the Lawrence community for their strong support and assistance during Siblings Weekend. Deserving groups and individuals are those who, despite the pouring rain and wind, continually came through for us all day Saturday. Our thanks include the alumni who helped us put together our indoor picnic, the IFC whose readiness to run the “Supersib” contest continued regardless of the weather, PanHel who decorated the dining hall for our dance, Mike Minnick and Botrix who entertained during our picnic, Tomi Johnson and Dave Busse who braved the weather to speak at the forum, Lynda Steltz who helped out immensely, and, especially, Mr. Rosenberg who became a “jack-of-all-trades” in organizing and setting up our picnic. To these individuals, we owe a great deal of thanks.

The second reason for this letter is to express our sincere disappointment in the athletic department and the food service. Our only criticism of the athletic department is the inability of Ron Roberts to pass on information to his subordinates. Ron Roberts had been contacted a number of times by one of the members of our staff about our using the facilities at the gym in case of rain, and the appropriate arrangements had been made. However, siblings travelled to the gym only to find angered per­sonnel who knew nothing about the siblings and their Lawren- tians coming out, and who were reluctant to relinquish equip­ment. Trivial as this may seem, it appeared quite the contrary to those that expected to be able to use the gym—this lack of com­munication resulted in a great deal of discontent among both Lawrentians and siblings.

Our extreme disgust in the lack of cooperation by the food service even overshadows our disap­pointment with the weather. The examples of blatant un- cooperativeness are many: We had made arrangements with the food service to use the facilities at Colman Hall in the event of rain. However, when we ap­proached Ruth Abraham on

Saturday morning to let her know that we needed to get into Colman to begin to set up and to cook, we were informed that we were only permitted to use the dining hall. When questioned as to where she and Mr. Fortune thought we were going to cook, her reply was, “ I don’t know, out in the rain I guess.” When asked to call Mr. Fortune to clarify this issue, she

insisted that she should not call him because it was his day off. and that if she did, she would have to wait until at least 10:00— meanwhile, the members of the Siblings Committee were left in limbo with an indoor picnic minus hotdogs and ham ­burgers !*!! Finally, Mr. Fortune was reached and the answer was a definite no to cooking in Colman. When asked why, Ruth replied, “Because it’s never been done before.” That seems to be a very easy, very standard answer for status quo administrators. We must commend the food service (Ruth and Bill) for their flexibility.

To continue, the food service then decided to do us a “favor” by cooking our meat for us as long as we sent over two in­dividuals to voluntarily cook for brunch for two hours—that was some favor! Thanks to Dave Curie and Paul Aiken, we were able to have cooked hotdogs and hamburgers for our picnic. Once this uproar was over, we asked Ruth to open the dining room for us at Colman. Again, in the spirit of cooperation to which by then we should have become ac­customed, she informed us that the head resident could open it for us. When we replied that she was out with her parents, she an­swered that if Ed (Kuether) did not come, she did not know how we would get into the dining room. (We assume that her key does not work on weekends!) Once we gained access to the dining room (thanks to Ed), we were then denied use of the kit­chen (by Mr. Fortune) to get water to make orange drink!

One last example, we think, will suffice. Mr. Fortune was informed that individuals must have a ticket to be admitted to Downer compliments of Siblings Weekend, otherwise they were to call our staff for a ticket or pay for their meal. These simple instructions never reached the

checkers at Downer, as was evidenced by the charge slips written out to our account at the door, and Ruth’s surprise when questioned about these in­structions. For some reason, it just figures , . .

There was, however, one bright spot in our dealings with the food service, and this was Ed Kuether. Ed came in on his day off, opened the dining room, picked up and returned food to Downer for us, helped set up the picnic, remained at the picnic for its duration, and was just plain C O O P E R A T I V E a n d PLEASANT-and all of the VOLUNTARILY! Ed was a refreshing change from the rest of our food service encounters. Ed, a BIG thanks from all of us to you!

Despite our ordeal with the food service, the weekend went very well. Thanks from us to Marge VanRoy for her assistance with prizes, Bob Welsch for working with us on our frisbees, those Lawrentians who decorated the dorms for the weekend, and those who displayed their talents in our talent show. Last, but certainly, not least, thanks to those that made Siblings Weekend possible: Tom Smith, Dave Busse, Lee Ester, Sherwin Howard, Charles Lauter, Tom Lonnquist, Dave Meader, Gil Swift, Dan Taylor, and Rik Warch.

Hope you all enjoyed Siblings Weekend!!!

Sincerely,—SIBLINGS WEEKEND

Chicago's Uptown: “Thafs my beatfThere is a popular adage in

rock music circles which has been stated and restated so frequently that it has become a cliche: “There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert!”

The Dead’s May 17 show at Chicago’s Uptown Theater was no exception to this rule, as the band once again succeeded in thrilling the packed house. "*

The concert, a standard Dead marathon of almost three hours, featured the band performing in their distinctive, straight­forward style and offered a few exciting surprises.

The first of these moments occured during the second number of the set, “Franklin’s Tower.” Here rhythm guitarist Bob Weir displayed his seldom seen slide guitar virtuosity, pushing lead guitarist Jerry Garcia farther than one would believe the usually laid back Garcia capable, in a jam par­ticularly reminiscent of the Allman Brothers Band. Weir later produced the slide again, to electrify the crowd with a devastating version of “Ten­

nessee Jed.”W eir’s superlative per­

formance on this evening, however, was not confined to his

slide playing. His vocals, par­ticularly on “Looks Like Rain,” “Around and Around” and “Me and my Uncle,” showcased more power and energy than can be found in any of his studio work.

Weir’s brilliance on the stage of the Uptown was especially startling in lieu of his passe, middle of the road stance on his recent solo project, “Heaven Help the Fool.”

But it can hardly be said that Weir alone carried the show. Jerry Garcia, the lead figure of the San Francisco-based group, provided a great deal of en­tertainment for new followers and devoted “Dead heads” alike.

His vocals and instrumentation on “Friend of the Devil” and “ It Must Have Been the Roses” were superb, exceeded only by his grueling guitar work on “Samson and D elilah ,” the opening number of the second set. Gar­cia’s liveliness on this tune delighted the audience, as he bounced around the stage as if a livewire had been planted in his jeans.

But the biggest surprise of the evening was reserved for the hand’s encore. After more than fifteen minutes of frenzied cries of “More DEAD,” the audience

by Jeff Hawley“ Our friend Penn,” Dave

Ehrich said the other day at lunch, “leave it to him to come up with something like Beach Day.”

Yes, folks, he’s been known to some of us as Dependable Penn, Industrious Penn, but perhaps to those who know him best he’s simply “Ritter.”

“And Ritter, what the hell are you doing dumping all that sand in the Chapel Parking Lot?”

“And Ritter, why are you dressed up in a girl’s bikini?” (What some people will do to get publicity for themselves.)

“ And Ritter, say, what’s this about Frankie, Annette, and Goldgar selling brats?”

And yes, I had the dubious honor of interviewing Ritter for Beach Day, a day Bob Blaseo says is sure to be a "waste of time.”

Penn, I mean Ritter, what exactly is going to take place this Saturday from 11-5:00 o’clock?

We’re going to have sand all over the Chapel Parking Lot. Several kiddie pools guarded by certified lifeguards. Brats and beer for sale. And beach music blaring out of the Chapel.

What’s the purpose of Beach Day?

No purpose.C’mon, there must be some

purpose?Beach Day is for those who

want to get out of the Mudd and into the sand.

Clever.I thought so.Can anyone join Beach Day?Yes, Beach Day is a non­

discriminating event. People of all ages, sexes, and races are invited. Those under a month old, however, are not invited. And there’s a special rate for the elderly—they are allowed in for less than free.

Is this going to be held next year?

Only if I don’t graduate by winter.

Why are you in school?My advisor has asked me that

very same question for the past five years.

How do you expect to get ten tons of sand out of the Chapel Parking Lot?

PENN JO RITTEK— Photo by Dan Mcdehee

We are going to leave it and turn the parking lot into a giant city litter box for all cats and dogs in the Fox Valley Area.

C’nion.We’re renting an endloader for

Sunday afternoon but as of yet we haven’t found anyone who knows how to drive it.

It has been rumored that you have received money from various school organizations, is this true?

Sure it’s true.From who?Various donors.Like?Like the Experimental Project

Grants, The Committee on Committees . . .

Stop, Ritter, I can’t believe this. And you’re a Quaker. Shame. If I see you in front of that Chapel Parking Lot this Saturday afternoon I’m going to kick sand in your face.

Go ahead, I like a good fight.At this moment, Ritter flexes

his biceps and this reporter slumps back in his chair and laughs.

Will there be any surfing?No, but originally we were

thinking of flooding College Avenue. Klaeser was going to stand on top of the “Con” and yell “surf’s up” anytime a car would come by.

What happens if it rains, Rit­ter?

Rain? Nuts, I haven’t thought about that. Tell ’em the rain date is set for July 4th in Atlantic City. No, don’t tell ’em that. RAIN? ON BEACH DAY?! IT COULDN’T POSSIBLY . . .

was finally rewarded, as the band once again emerged from backstage.

At this point, Weir donned a wolfman mask as Garcia and vocalist Donna Godschaux delivered a startling rendition of Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London.” With this the show was concluded.

Although the studio work of the Grateful Dead in recent years has been rather disappointing, the Wednesday night show at the Uptown was ample proof that the band is far from being musically burned out. Indeed, there is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert.

LU receives HEW grant againThis week Lawrence received a

grant of $22,500 from the HEW Office of Education. The grant is a continuation of a similar award of the same amount that the University had received a year ago for the academic year of 1977- 78.

In 1978-79 the funds will be used for further development of cooperation between the foreign language and social science departments and of the In ­terdisciplinary Area in In ­ternational Studies.

In the summer of 1978 the faculty will hold three workshops—one for new faculty participants in the program, another to prepare a new in- terdisiplinary course in in­ternational studies, and a third one to plan two conferences on

foreign language-social science cooperation to be held on the Lawrence campus in 1978-79.

The grant will also support the operation of an international studies laboratory, acquisition of foreign language books and other texts, and the development of audio-visual materials for the program. The purpose of the program is to strengthen in­ternational education at Lawrence.

Last year fourteen faculty members participated in the program, and another group of ten faculty will join them in 1978- 79. Professor Jules LaRocque initiated the project, and Professors Mojmir Povolny and Hans Ternes serve as its co­directors.

Eight students and a prof insearch of politics

Eight students have been selected to participate in the 1978 Washington Semester Program, an honors program held in Washington, D.C. each fall. The students were among 180 college students selected for the program from the 160 colleges that par­ticipate in the program.

Participating in the program, which will run from September through December of this year, will be Tim Lehman, Paul Ashby, Catherine Butler, Lauren Schneider, Paul Schwab, Tom Vallone, Amy Wachs and Molly Wyman. The nine students represent the most students selected for the program in one year from Lawrence.

Lehman will work in the National Politics section of the program. An economics major, he will conduct research in the area of welfare reform.

Schwab, Vallone, and Wachs also will work in the National Politics section. They are government majors and will conduct research projects while in Washington. Schwab will examine the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee, and Vallone will study the pressure group techniques of an organized labor group. Wachs also will study pressure groups, investigating the role of such groups in the abortion issue.

Ashby, and Wyman will work in the Foreign Policy section of the program. Wyman, a government major, will serve an internship, and Ashby, a Spanish major, plans to hold an internship and do a research project.

Ashby will study the Panama

Canal treaty, & Wyman will serve her intership in the area of Chinese-American relations.

Butler and Schneider, both government majors, will work in the Urban Semester and Justice Semester, respectively. Butler will study lobbying techniques of urban interest groups. Schneider will serve an internship working with the judicial system.

Lawrence Longley, an associate professor of govern­ment at Lawrence, has been selected to serve as the academic director of the Washington Semester this fall.

LOUIS TURNER leaps for the Frisbee. -ph„tobvPeteix,ne

Religious groups debate abortion

(Cont. from page 1)He stated that “ I ’m an Acting

instructor and felt the need to act. It’s been a good experience for me . . . but somewhat difficult to double as a director, directing himself.”

“Shakespeare’s Kings” also consists of Elizabethan sonnets, poetry, songs, and dance. The above is presented either as a reminiscence by Elizabeth, or entertainment for her.

Elizabeth I is the central character in “Kings” and Wendy Watson’78, offered insights on her portrayal of Elizabeth. “ I researched the character and discovered that little of the history dealt with the humanistic profile of Elizabeth. I had to analyze her behavior in order to act intuitively with ficticious incidents.”

Watson characterized the Queen as being a servant to her subjects’ whims. “The make-up, clothes, and manners all attest to Elizabeth’s willingness to please her people.”

Though adm itting to ex­periencing “great difficulties in portraying the realism of the period,” Watson described her

acting duties as “ immensely satisfying.” Having appeared in well over 6 theatre productions at LU, she considers this role to be her “graduation.”

Though Elizabeth I is the pivotal figure in “Kings,” Gaines was able to create equally rewarding roles for the rest of his cast. “Each character has his- her major moments or scenes throughout the play.”

The cast for “Shakespeare’s Kings” includes: Joyce Young, Mark Bunke, Beth Scholten, and Dan Baillie all seniors, and David Vogel in addition to Watson and

Gaines. Herb Goltermann was the Assit. to the Director. The scenic designer is Gordon Phettleplace '79, the costume designers Penny Sheatter, ’78 and assistant Tews Gunderson, ’78. Rick Davis, ’79 was responsible for the lighting,

by Dave BeckerIn the heated debate on the

topic of abortion-on-demand, perhaps few people realize that many religious organizations have okayed the right to abortion. On Tuesday the local chapter of Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights met in Riverview to ex­press the pro abortion view.

The RCAR is a coalition of 25 religious groups committed to safeguarding the option of legal abortion. Included among its members are such major Protestant demonimations as the United Church of Christ, the United Methodist Church and American Baptist Churches. At Tuesday’s meeting five speakers from different fields commented on the abortion issue and en­tertained questiqps and ob­servations from the audience.

Panel member Peteranne Joel, a Lawrence chemistry professor, represented the scientific view. Joel feels that the “scientific aspect is the least important” aspect on the matter and that the ethical question is of prime importance. When human life begins should be decided by theology and-or philosophy. To Joel, there are three major moral questions involved in abortion: termination of the life of a potential human, forcing of an unwanted child on a mother, and forcing a child into a world where he is not loved.

A “religious” perspective was provided by Rev. Clifford Pier­son of Memorial Presbyterian Church. He said, “all religions affirm the sacredness of life,” but argued that a fetus is a “Protoplasm blob,” not human. The only moral absolute Rev. Pierson will accept is “Love your neighbor,” and, in his opinion, prohibiting abortion can be “dehumanizing” and unloving to pregnant women.

Barbara Hoffman has

counseled hundreds of women on abortion decisions. In her ex­perience, contraceptive devices have not been an adequate solution for unwanted pregnancy because most sexually active women don’t use them. Therefore, she believes abortion must remain an option. Hoffman opposes adoption as a solution for unwanted children on the grounds that, among other reasons, it is too expensive for society. She also thinks marriages occurring for the sake of the fetus generally have little chance of success.

J ill Hoffenberg, a medical professional, said that abortion was an accepted medical practice until the nineteenth century. Those who opposed it did so, she believes, because medical procedures were unsafe, not because the fetus was regarded as a living human. Medical methods today, however, are relatively safe, at least for the first trimester of pregnancy. While stating that a 20-week-old fetus can sometimes be kept alive independent of the mother, she decried the psychiatric burden of an unwanted child. Hoffenberg also doesnot want toseeachild who

Cliffe Joel, associate professor of chemistry, has received the Cottrel College Science Grant from the Research Corporation. The grant includes salaries for 2 student assistants this summer and 2 next summer.

The formal title of Joel’s research is “Possible Chemical Mechanisms of Damage in Retinal Rod Outer Segments.” The project entails further ex-

will be rejected by his parents enter the world.

Mary Robinson added a legal perspective. She outlined the famous 1973 Supreme Court decision, calling its provisions “absurd.” Robinson branded the Appleton City Council’s anti­abortion stand as “ridiculous.” Her opinion on abortion is that it is a matter of individual rights for the woman.

The five panelists wholeheartedly support govern­ment financing of abortions for those who cannot afford them and were disappointed with the High Court decision which left the funding decision up to the legislatures. On a different level, though, they all agreed with Joel who stated, “No one goes into abortion lightly.”

The RCAR belief on abortion ethics is summed up in a statement by Rabbi Margolies: “Religion in its highest sense calls upon us to create families purposefully and joyfully, not accidentally and reluctantly. Let us build a world in which no woman must endure a forced pregnancy and a world in which no child enters life unwanted and unloved.”

ploration of the effect on the retina of exposure to intense light.

Preliminary experiments have been carried out by two seniors, Malcolm McDonald and Benny Lam. The long term hope is that the research will aid in un­derstanding several disorders in which the retina degenerates, causing blindness.

Cicotte and R oot retire

— Appleton Ruggers beaten again

It is with deep regret and personal sorrow that I msut report the latest developments concerning the serendipitous Misters Eddie Cicotte and Charlie Root.

Confronted on May 24,1978 with Kckankar, they became instant devotees and refused, despite all my pleadings, to continue their until now blossomming jour­nalistic careers. They send only their love, several Eckankar pamphlets, and the two poems, printed below. After I begged them, they finally agreed to disclose the final results for the Lawrence tennis team.

In singles, T. Walker was 3-11,C. Mueller was also 3-11, G. Robelen was 11-5, G. Leslie was 4- 7, D. Bern was 10-5, and R. Lamberton was 5-5. In the con­ference meet in Chicago the netmen finished sixth out of ten, with G. Robelen and D. Bern reaching the semi-finals in their respective singles brackets, and

C. Mueller and R. Lamberton doing the same in doubles.

Letterwinners will likely be the six named above, and H. Woz- nicki, B. Heilbronner, and perhaps R. Kopp. When pressed further about Kopp, the erstwhile journalists seemed to go into a reverie, and would only utter the words “ Eck” and' “ Fubbi Quantz.”

As disappointed as I am about what has happened, I would not for anything give up the productive weeks I have spent working for them and being their agent. I ’m only sorry it had to end this way.

Golfer’s finish conference tourneyby Dave Nitka

On May 18, Lawrence’s golf team traveled to Lake Forest to tee off against more competent Midwest Conference teams. Traditionally Lawrence golfers have regarded the Conference Meet primarily as a learning experience. This year’s team learned about the leisure lives of millionaires, about the ruinous effect of precipitous ravines on a golfer’s confidence, and about varsity sport training regulations.

A loose, relaxed mood prevailed before tee off. With a 2-9 regular season record the team had already lost every vestige of pretentiousness. Clad in faded jeans and worn-out shirts, the golfers self-consciously strode onto the grounds of one of the nation’s wealthiest country clubs.

Unfortunately our golfer’s games matched their attire. After the first round the team quickly vacated the premises seventy- nine strokes out of first place.

The second day of competition took place on an even more ex­clusive golf course and produced somewhat inspired play. The Vikes diligently hacked their way past the University of Chicago and out of last place. Rick Bauer led the way with an 85, the best single round posted by a Lawrence golfer over the two day meet.

Other golfers making the trip were Bob Perille, Jim Werley, Jim Palm, Bill Bremer and Dave Nitka. Additional 1978 team members include Phil Young, Terry Smith, Regina Swingen, Kent Krasin, Rick Knurr and Marv Nett.

by Adolf SpikeThe Appleton Rugby Football

Club has come up just short of victory on so many occasions this year that it is becoming downright distressing for this reporter to continue to describe the “near-miss” saga which is LU rugby this year.

Alas, despite playing their “best match of the season.” according to team captain Jeff Johnson, Appleton succumed to Green Bay last Saturday 18-14 when a last ditch comeback effort failed.

The game began in typical fashion for the fired-up Ap- pletonians as they roared to the lead on the strength of Scott “Boom Boom” Roeper’s try.

“ Ropes” went into semi- retirement from rugby this spring as the pull of Door County fishing and push of Appleton combined to “require” his ab­sence on weekends.

Yet, the stud from New Trier shined early in the game as a succession of excellent lead passes and good ‘‘follow-up play” by the Apps isolated the big guy on the right sideline. “Boom Boom” carried two men into the endzone with him and “Zane” Fero’s boot was true for a 6-0

advantage.A careless offside penalty

(some would call it dumb) of­fered G.B. a chip shot kick for goal which made it 6-3.

Most notable in Appleton’s play was the presence of ferocious pressure on the ball by our for­wards. With the likes of “Yian- nos” Lien, “Jeremiah” Johnson, “Outlaw” Kelm, Derk Dinkeloo,

“Doc,” “Turtle Boy” Powers, and others. Green Bay could not advance the ball upfield by running. This forced the visitor’s to resort to a kicking game, otherwise known as “ puppy rugby,” throughout the first half.

A kicking game puts ultimate tension on a team’s fullback who is to be trite, “the last line of defense.”

G.B.’s fullback appeared to be wearing a uniform two neck sizes too small as he choked and gagged every time he touched the ball.

“Zane” Fero took advantage of one of these trachea errors to score the first try of the second half. Actually. Kevin “ I got in a fight with Muhammad” Fritsche snatched the ball away from G.B.’s fullback, and kept the pigskin available to his side of the

field. After which “ Zane” grabbed the ball from Fritsche and “discoed” to the try line with “Night Fever” ringing in his ears.

Appleton’s 10-3 advantage appeared to be in jeopardy asG.B. scored three straight tries to take an 18-10 lead. Now, the reader may well be asking himself “What the hell happened to that G.B. could have scored 15 in a row?”

Well, an unknown LU professor offered the following ex­planation: “The Appleton team’s performance became an inverse ratio of Green Bay’s; thus, G.B. tended to play increasingly better in the second half, while Appleton remained at the same, or even at a sub-par, level of play when compared with their opponent’s

increase.”I would agree entirely and add

that Appleton resembled one of those nice folding lounge chairs for our ruggers simply folded up.

With less than five minutes remaining, “ Y iannos” Lien scored a garbage try after scooping up a loose ball near the try line. The term “garbage” is not used here to demean Mr. Lien’s effort. On the contrary, parasitic ruggers such as “Yiannos,” who live off other player’s efforts are necessary to the game as they “clean up play.”

Suffice it to say that the clock ran out on Appleton for yet another time.

As both team’s headed for Cisco’s Bar (G.B. to celebrate and Appleton to drown their sorrows), “ Zoa” Fritsche m um bled:: “ OOOHHH, my cranium hurts!”

The SPIKE LOVER BOY OF THE WEEK AWARD is given to “Yiannos” Lien. It seems that the blond-haired bull (recently named second team All- Wisconsin Hooker) has become quite affectionate with a ruggerhugger from Neenah- Menasha. Apparently, he drives over to her house every night and serenades his 300 lb. beauty with songs like “Allouette” and “ I Put my Hand upon Her Ankle.”

This weekend, the Apps travel to Milwaukee to play the number one rugby club in the state for their last match of the season. As expected, our ruggers are heavy underdogs in the game, but are slight favorites to sweep the party.

Vikes grab third placeby Kevin Kettelle

The Lawrence University men’s track team competed in its final meet of the year this past weekend with a third place finish in the Midwest Conference meet. This year the two day event was held at the University of Chicago’s Alonzo Stagg Field.

The Vikes did well on the first day, as finals were held in four events. Ron Wopat continued his domination of the discus with a winning throw of 164’ 10” . Wopat’s javelin throw of 183’7:,j” earned him second place in that event, only V behind the winner. In the long jump Rob Stevens came through with a fine jump of 22’6” to win despite the fact he was injured for much of the season. Jim Miller ended Carleton’s domination of the six mile run, as he broke the conference record, winning in 30:51.2. Bob Eddy added another point with a 6th in the discus. This gave Lawrence 39 points and the lead going into the second day of competition.

Unfortunately the second day did not yield the same kind of performances as the first, but nevertheless the Vikings finished in fine form. Ron Wopat ran into trouble in the shot put but still

finished second with a throw of 51’3” . Bob Eddy also had problems but in the high jump. Bob also took a second place at 6’2” with one miss more than the winner. He had a fine day in the shot however, placing 3rd with a throw of 46’10” . In the three mile Jim Miller again ran a fine race, this time placing second to Carleton’s All-American Dale Kramer. M iller’s time was 14:40.2. In the triple jump Joe Socha hopped 42’10” for 5th place. Kevin Retelle finished 5th in the mile in 4:24.6 and finally, Jeff Hawley took 6th in the three mile in 15:53.3. Lawrence ended up with 74 points, well behind second place Carleton who had 116, but safely ahead of Mon­mouth who finished fourth with 59.

For two Lawrentians com­petition will continue through this weekend as Ron Wopat and Jim Miller will both compete in the Division III National Cham­pionships in Gran Rapids. Mich. To enter this meet they had to meet qualifying standards set by the NCAA. Wopat has qualified in the shot put and discus and Miller in the six mile, run as 10,000 meters.

WOMEN’S RUGBY — a vicious game. — Photo by Anne Heiselbarh

Phi Delts win I.M. track

Led by Mark “half barrel” Siefert’s winning throw of 94’4” in the discus, the Phi Delts captured the intramural track meet on Monday. The Phi’s also managed 4 other first place finishes en route to their 72-45 victory over second place Plantz, while the Figi’s managed 17 points, which was good enough for a third place finish (there were only three teams in the meet).

The Phi Delts also managed to finish first in the Softball com­petition this spring, with the heavily favored Beta’s grabbing second. Plantz Hall wound up third, Kohler took fourth, the Delts fifth, while the Figi’s finished last.

The Plantz team of Jim Piotrowski, Chuck Wood, Bob Frank, and Walter Deutsch, won the golf tourney with the Beta’s finishing second and the Delt’s third.
