Pickpockets caught in cafeteriabv Man N. Lutton
Of The Tnantfir
Three males were apprehended by Drexel security guards on Tuesday. February 10. on suspicion of theft and pickpocketing in the cafeteria complex under Creese Student Center.
While on patrol, a Drexel security guard noticed three males wandering from table to table during the dinner rush in the cafetena. As the officer approached. he saw one of the suspects pick up a black coat. When the suspect saw the officer drawing closer, he dropped the coat and began to walk away at a fast pace. The guard then contacted o(her foot and mobile patrols concerning the suspects who then began to run from the building.
Wells Fargo dispatch officers radioed the description to the polict department, and another guard identified the suspects and notified police.
The suspects were deiained at 33rd and W alnu t s tree ts , and then transported to the 55th and Pine Street police station. They were released later after being cited for trespassing.
Police suspect these individuals
were also involved in an earlier reported case of pickpocketing. On Monday evening, a student resident of Myers Hall reported that his wcdlet had been stolen from his jacket which w as left unattended in the cafeteria area. A search o f the area produced no results.

President Gaither held a conference with the presidents of Drexel’s fraternities and fraternity alumni last Thursday to communicate the University's goals for the fiiture growih and sirengthening of the Greek system. Besides the president, guest speakers from Drexel included Vice President for Student .■\ffairs A nhur Joblin. Insurance .Manager BeckA Mundschenk. and Drexel Consultant David Hamme. Richard Redding, a Community Planner from the Philadelphia Planning Commission also spoke at the meeting.
President Gaither spoke briefly about preparing Drexel for the 21st century. The goals he mentioned; Drexel's retaining its place as a leading university into the 2 1 st century, loc- cated in an anracti\e area w ith a strong Greek >\stem on campus, are pan of the U n i\e rs i t \ 's 10 year plan.
Dr. Joblin s aims for the Greek communit) included "integrating all housing into the University residential supp*->n svstem ." "securing quality housing for those Greek organizations that do not now have housing", " im proving the self-governance and internal judicial priKedures o f the Greek sNstem," achiev ing fully aa ive alumni Kiards. instituting a fully active advisor) system and promoting the Greek htnising system as a "substance abuse free environment."
.Mthough the meeting was regarded as helpful by most of the participants. including the fratemit) presidents, some raised objections about the means the Universitv planned to use to achieve the ends it Joblin described
"The meeting was prettv positive." said .Mark Plisco. president of Lambda Chi .Alpha house, " it was the first time that everybod), including the alumni all giH together. Regardless of what was accomplished, that wasglHXl."
However. Plisco felt some uncer- taintv abi>ut what the University ac- tuallv iniendt'd to do about their giwls.
"Thcv were clear on what they wanted us to d o ." he said, "but prettv unclear on the direct methodology."
"Some of the changes, from an objective pi'int o f view would seem to benefit the whole organization." he said, "but from our point of view it seem that Drevel is taking awav some of our freedom."
One of Joblin's proposals, that the Universitv help w ith the upkeep of the houses included the use o f Drexel financial support for house renovations. which would entail the placement of a "residential d irector," an adjutant of the University, in the
fraternity house itself."A n absurd idea." said PatCuran.
president o f .Mphi Pi Lambda house ."W e 're financiallv and administratively stable. . we can govern ourselves."
Dr. Joblin said, however, that the University employee would only be there to provide a s e n ^ of continuity . and pointed to the succosftil precedent for the practice in the Pan- Hellenic apartment complex.
The University also wants an evaluation of the campus Greek system by the National Inter-fraternitv Conference. a proposal that w as met w ith som e o p p o s t io n o f the house presidents.
"1 think self-evaluation of the system would be bet ter ." said Steve Mclain. president o f Delta Sigma Phi. "I think it would be better to do things ourselves than have someone else come in and tell us what to d o ."
Insurance Manager Becky .Mundschenk showed how fraternity liability insurance has increased drastically since 1982 from S I5.000 per year to a 1986 figure of S176.000. Mrs. Mundschenk concluded her speech by calling for all fraternities to implement stronger safety programs to help alleviate skyrocketing premiums.
Richard Redding of the Philadelphia Planning Commission (PPC) spoke about the rising popularity of Pow elton Village, which is now a National Historical D istrice. Because o f Powelton's new honor, tax incentives are available for rehabilitation of all buildings. Mr. Redding also said that although one of Powelton Village's community goals is to increase single family housing, the PPC 's goal is to maintain compatabilitv between the university com m unity and the Powelton communitv. The Planning Commission predicts alx>ui six million square feet of office space will be built on Market Street between Drexel and Center Citv This will lead to an increase in jobs and the need for housing. which will increase propenv values in Powelton Village.
Dav id Hamme. Consultant to Drexel from Wallace. Robert >Sc Todd, explained Drexel s goal of phvsical expansion. Because much of the land surrounding Drexel is alreadv considered unattainable, the only real place to expand is to the land east of 32nd Street, adjacent to the railroad. •At t'lrst Drexel considered building a platform over the tracks, but came to the conclusion that the platform would be too expensive. That leaves the on- I) alternative of moving the railroad tracks If SEPT .A and Aintrak are willing tociK)perate. Drexel is interested B\ moving the tracks. Drexel would

Commencement
plans announced
for Class of ’87by .Anthony LoRu.sso
Triangle staff w riter
The schedule for commencement 1987 has been released b> Dr. .Arthur JpW in. V ic c -P re i id c m o f S tu d m i Affairs. The ceremonies will be held in the Physical Education Center.
■All graduate degrees will be awarded on Saturday. June 12. at 10 a .m .. fo llow ed at 2 p .m . w ith all undergraduate degrees in Science. Design .Ans. Humanities and Social Sciences. Information Studies, and University College. On Sunday. June 14. at 10 a.m .. undergraduate degrees in Business and Administration w ill be awarded, followed at 2 p.m. with the undergraduate degrees in Engineering ceremonies.
The distribution of colleges is based on the number of graduates in each class, with each ceremony having close to the same number of students as possible. This will allow for the maximum number of seating for parents, family, and friends. Dr. Joblin feels that there may be as many as five or six tickets available for seating this vear. compared to only four last year. It is not yet known how graduates requiring more than five or six tickets will be accommodated, although last year, any extra tickets were put into a f>ool and distributed accordingly.
The final dec is ion on ticket availability and distribution will be made in early .April.
The seating will be arranged in a semicircular arc. as opposed to the rectangular arrangement last year, so that everyone is much closer to the activities. There will be about 3400 seats for each ceremop' lo' 4II attending.
The ceremony should only run about one hour, with a reception afterward in the Quad. The operation will be very similar to last year's , except that the ceremony times have been tightened up. .As usual, there will be free parking in all of the University parking lots.
Guest speakers are still being selected b> the Honors and Awards Committee. Each speaker will be presented w ith an honorary Doctorate degree in his or her t'leld.
"We realize how important this is to the departing senior and his parents, and w e are try mg to make it as mean- ingtul and symK>lic as p».>ssible," says Dr. Joblin In the ceremony itself, each member of the class will go to the stage, recieve his diploma, and shake the hand of Drexel University President William S. Gaither.
It IS expected that ab«.>ut 2100 seniors will be graduating this year.

University facultv and administration met Wednesday afternoon in the Patton .Auditorium in Matheson Hall to di.scuss student retension, the Campus Ma.ster Plan studv. enrollment data, and possible uses of the newly acquired W ilfo rd and F reem en buildings.
William Rosenberg. Professor ol History and Politics, presented the findings of a student retension study he conducted for the University. Current and former students were polled to determine why they chose to attend Drexel. what they like and dislike most. and. in the case of former students, why they left.
Rosenberg found that the most significant factor in choosing Drexel was the Cooperative Education program. followed by the school's reputation. Co-op was also high on the list of strong likes. The administration was cited as the thing most disliked by current and former students.
Tuition, financial aid. and financial problems were the predominant rea.sons that students left Drexel. Most students who left Drexel transferred to Temple University. Rosenberg said that he was glad that the University was "using in-house resources to find ways to help D rexel."
Ruth Dvorak and David Hamme from Wallace. Roberts, and Todd, addressed the faculty concerning the progress of the Campu> Master Plan studv, Proposals for the cpnstrusjjpn of a platform over Septa 's Powelton
Train yard have been ruled unfeasible due to the high cost of construction.
Hamme said that the platform w txild have to be at least 86 feet ab<.ive the ground and that access would be difficult because the grade of the surrounding streets is significantly lower than that. Hamme also said that the firm estimates that the platform would cost approximatelv S98 per sqaure foot and be nearly 700.000 square feet. The platform w ould then cost betw een S77 million and S78 million. This would not include the cost of purchasing the air rights to the propeny from Septa.
•An alternate proposal to purchase adjacent land from .Amtrack w as considered. Under this scenario. Drexel and its for-profit real-estate subsidiary. .Academic Properties. Inc . would construct a new train yard for Septa in exchange for the old Powelton Yard. The old yard would then be cleared for use as an athletic field. The cost of this proposal would be approximately one- forth of the platform idea, according to Hamme. Drexel and API could still develop the air rights over the new vard.
Richard Mortimer from the Office of the Vice President for .Academic .Affairs reported that applications for the September class were down 3.3 percent from last year. M onimer said that Deans would now receive weekly updates on applications from the ■Admissions Office.
University President William S. Gaither told the faculty that no decision had yet been made on the use of the reccnll^ acquired V.’i\ford and Freeman buildings. Gaither said three
plans were under consideration at this ' time. The first was to demolish both ■ buildings to make the area available , for parking. The second plan would have the Freeman Building (ju,st north ‘ o f the .Armorv on 33rd St.) available ; for academic use. This would qualify , the University for low-interest government bonds to finance needed renova- I tion. The third plan would put both I buildings on the commercial office ; space market. Gaither said that this | plan would require the most renova- , tion and be the most costly, but that returns would also be highest.
In new business Gaither accepted | questions from the faculty concerning | a number of issues. Two issues stuck with him through the session.
The faculty system of governance, currently Faculty Council, is undergoing review and revision through the Committee on Faculty Governance. Gaither said that he believed that both faculty and administrators should be on the new body. Phillip Cannistraro, | Professor of History and Politics, ob- 1
jected saying "This is a faculty ' government." |
Gaither said that he felt that the I faculty morale problem addressed in ; the external Academic Reveiw Panel : report and by Faculty Council was not ! as severe as stated and that specific issuer had not been defined to be addressed.
•At the close of the meeting Gaither suggested that Rosenberg determine if it would be feasible to conduct a study of facultv morale at Drexel.

Mac upgrades ready to gobv Alan N. Lutton
Of The Triangle
The Equipment Support Group has announced that the M acin tosh upgrades have arrived. Students waiting for their updates will be notified bv mail about the time and date to bring in their Macintoshes to be updated
Over 700 individuals ordered upgrades in the fall, and all are still waiting for the adjustments to their computers. The ESG admits that the upgrading project has taken much longer than expected, but they explain that this is due to the large number of upgrades ordered, and that Apple was not prepared for this large number.
Now that the upgrade kits are in. ESG savs thev will install the^ii as quicklv as piissible. .An assembly line IS in place at the Trek facilitv to install the upgrades, and ESG has a goal of 100 installations per week
The Macintosh offer nude in the fall was to upgrade anv Macintosh computer to the capabilities of a 5 l2e . just
like those used in the Korman Computer Center in the Korman Building. Included in this one-time deal was an upgrade from a 512K or a 128K to a 512e. with a .MacPlus keyboard option. Prices ranged from S I88 to S205 for the serv ice and upgrade kit. Since then, some Macintosh owners reciv- ed upgrades for a higher price because the upgrades not included from the one-time offer are coming from a different manufacturing plant and can on- Iv be ordered bv Drexel in small quantities.
Drexel's contract with .Apple for the one-time offer stipulated that all institutional upgrades can be ordered together (that order was placed in September) and one order placed for individual upgrades (that order was placed in November after individuals had signed up in October).
ESG says "The value of this onetime offer has not been diminished. The Equipment Suppim Gnnip will do Its best to see that the upgrades are installed as quicklv as possible now that the kits have arrived on campus."

Blood drive begins next weekfty Brian Rla(>brouf>h and David
C hart ierTriangle staff writers
Drexel University will host the 1987 Winter term Blotxl Drive on February 18th and 19th in the Grand Hall o f the Creese Student Center. The event is sponsored by the American Red Cross o f Philadelphia, and Alpha Phi Omega, the national .service fraternity, and will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on each day.
Requirements for giving are: the donor must be at least 17 years of age, weigh at least 110 pounds, and be willing to give an hour for someone in need. Lots o f free donuts, snacks, juice, coffee, and ice cream are available after a doner has finished.
Donating blood is completely safe and easily explained to newcomers. It is impossible to get AIDS by giving blood. The Red Cross uses completely sterile materials, which are thrown
away after each use, giving no chancc for infecton.
The goal o f 400 pints repre.scnts about 14% of the students at Drexel. Many Universities have a greater participation rate, (for example, almost a quarter o f Villanova's students donate) but the Red Cross is confident o f Drexel’s support each term. Come out and give blood, and through donating, become a hero in the process.

"Fiistory, ” declared Henry Ford, "is hunk. ” And yet. to paraphrase George Santayana, tho.se who forget history and the Engllih language are condemned to numgle them.
The enlightenment was a reasonable time. Voltare wrote a b<x)k called Candy that got him into trouble with Frederick the Great. Philosophers were unknown yet. and the fundamental stake was one o f religious toleration slightly confused with defeatism. France was in a very serious state. Taxation was a great drain on the budget. The French revolution was accomplished before it happened. The revolution evolved through monar- chial, republican, and tolarian phases until it catapulted into Napoleon. Napoleon was ill with bladder problems and was very tense and unrestrained
History, a record of things left behind by past generations, started in 1815. Throughout the comparatively radical years 1815-1870, the We.stern European continent was undergoing a R am pant pe r io d o f econom ic modification. Industrialization was precipitating in England, problems
were so complicated in Paris, out of a city o f 1 million, 2 million able btxlies were on the loose.
Great Britian, the USA, and other European countrys had demicratic leanings. The tniddle class was tired and needed a rest. The old order could see the lid holding new ideas beginning to shake. Among the goals of the chartists were universal suferage and an anal parliment. Voting was to be done by ballad.
A new time zone of national unification roared over the horizon. Founder o f the new Italy was Cavour, an intelligent Sardine from the north, nationalism aided Itally because nationalism is the growth of an army. We can see that nationalism .succeeded for Itally because o f France's big army. Napoleon III-IV mounted the French thrown. One thinks of Napoleon III as a life extension o f the late, but great, Napoleon. Here too was the new Germany: loud, vulgar, and full o f reality.
Culture fomented from Europe's tip to its top. Richard Strauss, who was violent but methodical like his wife made him, plunged into vicious and perverse plays. Dramatized were adventures in seduction and abortion. Music reeked with reality. Wagner was master o f music, and people did not forget his contribution. When he died, they labeled his .seat “ historic."
Other countries had their own artists. France had Chekhov.

Going Hprrie AgainWhat nots
Stuart Sienel
I went home last weekend. Why this shoulil be o f any interest to anybody other than myself will become apparent soon enough.
The thoughts and feelings I will be describing will be familiar to anyone
who has recently gone home or is going home this w eekend. This does not apply to c o m m u t e r s , how ever . I ’m really not trying to be sarcastic when I say that it
is impossible for commuters to identify with w'hat 1 am expressing. The time between trips home is important, the thoughts I will be describing take much more than a few hours to develop.
The journey home officially begins when you are done on Friday with all the required tedious tasks of the day (in my case it was my co-op job.) From that point on you are your own free spirit ready to venture back to your place of origin. There is a very regular and definite sequence that one's psyche undergoes during the trip home and the actual stay there.
The first step in this sequence is the initial anticipation that you feel on departure day. Throughout the day you carefully and methodically plan your route; mentally repeating the time, method and circumstances of your journey back to a world, that you will eventually realize, is no more. Once you are physically on your chosen mode o f transit a feeling of independence starts to brew within you. Why this feeling overtakes you at this instant is no mystery. It stems from all the steps that were taken to get you there. You packed your bag, you chose how and when you leave, and, most importantly, you chose to go in the first place. I remember driving into Manhattan lasf weekend, the feeling Ilf independence becoming stronger as the skyline became clearer.
Walking through the door for the first lime in a few months (or a few weeks, it all depends on one’s family) is a very strange experience. Everyone is unusually receptive, smiles span ear to ear, loud talk is present. and everyone is happy to see you. 1 imagine the situation is the similar to a newborn coming home from the hospital for the first lime, except the
B L O O M C O U N T Y
Live arts murdered
novelty of the latter lasts much longer than that of the former.
From the very onset of your stay, you notice one particular thing, how little things have changed. I’m not talking about physical changes such as a new kitchen floor or a new coat of paint, but to the personalities o f your family members. If you spent a few hours in a confined space with the members of your fatnily, a dinner table for instance, you will surely know what I am talking about. Those family m e m b ers w ho , by you r rememberance and opinion, take part in nothing more than idle talk still do just that. No big surprises, not once will this particular family member inquire as to your thoughts on world terrorism. You will certainly see no change in lifestyles, those who worked too hard, or easy for that thatter, still do the same. The conversations that take place in general seem to have little to do with you at all.
You suddenly feel alienated, and at this time you make another realization: you know that you are no longer a part o f this place to which you have returned. You have spent your time fashioning a new life for yourself. New ideas, new attitudes, new people have all been introduced to you, and you have absorbed them with fxiry. This is not to say that you are no longer a part of your family, anyone who infers this is a fool. On the contrary, you realize (on the way back, maybe) that Just as you saw no discernible change in your family membets when it came to annoying traits, there was also no change in the acceptance that they have and always will extend to you.
The final good-byes are never fun, especially since you are overcome by quilt because you secretly prefer to go back than stay. This is normal, since your life is no longer in this place, it has taken root someplace else. As soon as you hit the road, that feeling of independence surfaces again, but this time it is accompanied by a feeling of acceptance. It feels good to know that you can return when you want. Once back at school you can get back to the business of molding your own life the way you see fit. After some time passes, that urge to go home returns, and you enter the cycle once again
Stuart Seigel asks that I spell his name correctly here and below his picture. What nots appears on alternate Fridays.
Editor:
I would like to enumerate on the reason that theatrical live-arts participation at Drexel has declined in recent years. Having worked in Drex- e l’s theater several times in the past four years, I can say without a doubt that Adell Rubin, the director at the Mandell Theater, is the reason for the decline in participation. She is not at all open to criticisms or ideas other than her her own and she lacks many of the qualities that mark someone as a professional. I have known too many people who have dropped out of theater because o f her; myself included. Working in theater is a volunteer effort; we do not get paid for it. Getting hassled and yelled at constantly by the director is not my idea of fun, especially when I am donating my time.
I am speaking from experience. I have been involved in theater since the 8th grade. I have also worked with all kinds of directors, both good and bad. I have even worked with one director who was worse than Adelle, but at least she made up for it with talent. I hope in no way to imply that I am without faults; far from it. But I do not ignore them to the point where 1 am opressing others’ creative outputs. If there is one specific reason why the theater at Drexel is on the decline, it is Adelle, and nothing will change for the better until she is gone.

Speaker responds to McCloy about gays and the BibleEditor:
I would like to respond to the letter written by Eric McCloy, “ Gays Sinful?,” (77if Triangle, 2I6IB7). 1 will write what 1 shared the evening of the discussion sponsored by Galad.
In order to discuss church views toward homosexuality, I, too, believe we must begin with the Scripture. However, unlike the recommendation made by Mr. McCloy, which was to select certain passages from Scripture an use them to claim that homosexuality is sinful, I would suggest that we discuss the nature o f Scripture itself and the authority we give it.
The Bible was not composed as a single book. We now know that it was written over a long period o f time and reflects differing points of view within differnet social, political, economic and cultural contexts. We know, for
example, that the canon o f Christian writings was in the process o f being formed over a period of three centuries before the materials now included in the New Testament were agreed upon.
In order to understand scriptural text, then, one must acknowledge the ancient world views reflected in their writing and recognize that these views were an expression o f the cultural, social, political, and economic realities of ancient times. Who today would agree with the literal interpretation of Lev. 15:16-17, which would render the sexual act itself unclean, or Lev. 18:19; 15:18-24, which stictly forbids sexual intercourse during the seven days of the menstrual period, or Lev. 18:29, which dictates that anyone found engaging in intercourse during this time was to be executed, or, finally, Gen. 9:20-27, which makes it equivalent to a crime for a son to see
his father’s nudity. Therefore, the responsibility in translating Scripture is to facilitate this transition from ancient meaning to contemporary meaning, and to generate an honest interpretation. The interpretation must move beyond the cultural context of ancient times and local settings to a contemporary world view.
The d ifficu lty with selecting passages from Scripture and applying them literally or directly to contemporary situations is that these passages are then removed from their historic context and, therefore, from the original meaning that they were intended to convey. When Scripture is not carefully interpreted it lends itself to be used as a weapon. I find that this is especially true with regards to homosexuality today.

To Hell and back on the Route 23 trolleyLife in a Nutshell
Eric Thomas LaBorie
One o f the most culturally enlightening experiences one can receive for $1.25 is a Route 23 trolley ride. This is Septa 's longest trolley route and it extends from the suburban settings of Chestnut Hill to the outskirts of South Philadelphia. This route allows the rider to take in a spectrum of lifestyles from the preppies o f Chestnut Hill to the working class o f Mount Airy and Germantown and the poorer sections of North Philadelphia.
I hopped on the trolley in Mount Airy which lies below Chestnut Hill. The trip down to Center City was a disillusioning one because I saw a lot of things I normally overlook in the day to day routine o f commuting. My plan was not just to go down town, but to take in everything that was between me and the city. Usually 1 take the train to get the Drexel, but today 1 took the long way so I could go through the mess the train allows me to go around.
I love Philadelphia. Beyond all the faults and shortcomings is a city that is small townish and personal. But something snapped on my journey. As the trolley plodded its way through Nicetown, North Philadelphia and past Temple U., I began to see the city in a different light. 1 thought of Mayor
G oode’s promise to North Philly for programs to rejuvinate business and industry in that section. I thought o f the people who lived there and never saw anything new coine their way, only politicians talking the talk. I saw the city for what it is. It needs help. Is this the city I love and believe in? I tried to tell myself that this is just part of the picture. That every portrait is not painted with bright colors. So much trash, dirt, dispair, and graffiti, a writing that spoke a language I could never understand.
I felt distant from the scene that lay before me; this scene that I had avoided every day when 1 took the train. Where was the Philadelphia that I had pictured as being " r e a l” ? Wasn’t this real enough? No, something was wrong here. I got the same kind of feeling in my gut that I did when I went through the suburbs. The people here were avoiding something. They were only seeing a small view of the entire picture. I can ’t really put into words the way I felt, but I know that inside me was a voice saying that this was not good.
I hopped off the trolley at Arch Street and just walked around for awhile, feeling disillusioned, as if I had just been told a lie. Around 12th Street I saw the Reading Terminal Market. It was truly a day for firsts.
I had heard a lot about this place, but I had never ventured inside. With mixed feelings I opened the door and stepped in.
I was caught up in the thought so I really didn’t pay much attention to my surroundings. I walked around for awhile and knew that something here was different. Flashes o f New York City sprung up in my mind. People were all around me eating, talking, and sharing. The sense o f pride and closeness I has lost on the trolley was coming back. People o f every ethnic and cultural background were involved in the marketplace. There was a certain neighborly warmth that hung in the air as if people came here just for the same purpose.
This was the Philadelphia I had known for so long. Even though I couldn’t understand half languages being spoken, it was O.K. 1 wasn’t looking on a big wall with scribbled graffiti on it. I was looking at all kinds of different cultures and custonrfe. There was something pure and honest about what was going on. The people here were being themselves and presenting nothing more that just that. The deli and shop owners were there to give a service and a part o f the background that is so hard to come by these days. In this world o f 7-11’s, CashStream machines, and fast food chains, it was
a treat to be among businesses that treated themselves and their customers with a .sense o f pride and dedication.
The people in the marketplace were a breed apart. There aren’t too many places you can go where you can see business men, construction workers, and street people all eating together. It d idn’t matter what color you were or what language you spoke, everyone enjoyed each o th e r ’s com pany. Philadelphia is a big city with a small town’s pride. Spending time in the Reading Terminal market reaffirmed my belief in this town and the people here.
When I left the marketplace, the good feelings followed. The time I spent and the people 1 saw form what is " re a l” in my mind when a picture o f Philadelphia appears. I knew that the money spent there went toward a hard working family and not into a corporate executive’s pocket.
Reading Terminal is Philadelphia. It represents the people that we are. A trip to the Market will replace a trip to the Art Musuem any day. Try it and you’ll see what I mean.

Ronald W hitney d iscussed a relatively new part of Drexel know as Academic Properties Inc. (API), a for- profit corporation aimed at aquiring and controlling properties o f strategic importance to Drexel Univerisity.
Using API, Drexel would like to buy the fraternities or at least own 50% of the equity in each house. By
owning a fraternity house. Drexel would be free to control the rent and all other housing requirements such as the number ot people allowed to live in each house.
“ 1 want to know what will happen to a fraternity once Drexel owns their house," said Michael Imms, a Pi Kappa Phi alumni member, " I f the fraternity finds itself in trouble, what would Drexel do'.’Would they turn their backs, take control of the house, or really try to help?"

Keith Sheppard, Alumni Vice President of the same fraternity said. "It is imperative that the alumni organizations meet to discuss the short and long term needs of the brotherhoods we represent."
The University strongly supp*)rts the fraternity system, according to Dr. Joblin, and all the changes are meant to bring about a "dramatic turnaround in the living quality that our students experience in the fraternity houses."

It's Chinc.sc New Year again. H111111111...where lo go for an elegant, enjoyable meal that I'li.s the occasion? Particularly not one of those crowded. stenchy establishments with MSG listed as Today's Special.
Not many people know about the Quality Inn which opened up in September of '8 6 located on 1010 Race Street. Inside this hotel, besides their 96 uniquely accomodated suites, is the 2 1 year old Chinese-American restaurant called the Lotus Inn Restaurant. Oh. sure, a Chinese- American that doesn't serve real Chinese IchhI. Wrong! In fact, all the kitchen employees are Chinese.
The Quality Inn is now going through a SIO..*! million renovation which is near its completion. While walking through the small. Oriental lobby you might want to stop in the Hing Lounge. It is considered to have the largest bar in Chinatown, which opens everyday at 4:00 p.m. in addition to happy hour from 5-7, Monday through Friday.
The beginning of the meal starts off
with exotic drinks and cocktails that average out to a normal $3.50 a drink. Along with the house specialties that are offered on the menu, there arc two dinner packages (for a minimutn of 2
persons). The company I was with preferred the Family Dinner ($10,95 per person), as opposed to the Chef’s MasteqUccv ($12.95 per person). This included a choice of cither wonton or eggdrop soup, eggrolls. and choice of twelve entrees, in which six may be selected. True, this may sound like a typical meal from a 32nd St. Chines truck, however, fmxl prepared by professionals, served in an orderly fashion, and eaten in ornate dining room is much more appealing.
The service was satisfactory, yet througiiout eating. I could not help but wonder why there were no Chinese servers.
The Lotus Inn Restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner courses along with specials for vegetarians. Open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p .m .. the restaurant gives an assortment of eye-opening dishes to Americans, presented with a touch of the Orient.
Walk-ins or reservations, call 922-1730.

Andrew McCarthy and Kini Cattrall
by Chris ErbOJ Vu’ TruiHfiU’
What's This? A movie Ulmcd in Philadelphia? What’s the occasion? The occasion is the premier o f Mannequin. a movie filmed to a great extent in the venerable halls of John Wanamaker’s and starring Kim Cattrall { Thhute. Big Trouble in Utile China) and Andrew McCarthy (Si. Elmo's Fire, Pretty in Pink).
The premise o f this lllni is pretty strange. Emmy (Kim Cattrall) is an ancient Egyptian spirit which has come to life in one o f the window mannequins at the Prince & Co. department store (John Wanamaker's). The dummy was made by a would-be sculptor by the name of Jonathan. Jonathan can’t hold a job to save his life, but
he is miraculously able to get a job as a w indow dresser at Prince & Co. by saving the life of Claire Timkin(E.stelle Getty), the matriarch o f Prince & Company.
The re.st of the movie focuses on the efforts of one B.J. Wert (Steve Vinovich). the head of the glitzy 11- lustra department store across town (played by Boscov’s in Camp Hill. P a .) to wrest control o f Prince & Co. from Claire Timkin. The similarities to J.R Ewing and the re.st of the Dallas crew are not unintended. W ert’s efforts are aided by Richards (James Spader), the manager of Prince & Co., and Roxie (Carole Davis). Jonathan’s inanipulative ex-girlfriend. Due to the combined efforts of Emmy and Jonathan. Prince & Co. begins to make money and Illustra begins to lose
money. Their midnight jaunts through the store result in exciting new window displays (yes. window displays) which draw in niany new customers. As is to be expected in this sort of movie the gocxi guy gets the girl (dummy?). the bad guy loses, and the vcni'Mbk' old institution wins out over the new and impersonal would-be monopoly.
Kim Cattrall is not a newcomer to tilm, and her screen credits include Tribute with Jack Lemmon. Ticket to Heaven, and Police Academy. In addition she has just cotne o ff a critically lauded performance in the Broadway show Wild Honey. Micheal Frayn's farcical Chekhov adaptation. Although she enjoys performing on stage, she feels that film is ‘the most exciting media to be involved in'. Her performance in Mannequin shows this excitemcnt. Mannec/iiin is a fun movie, but Cattrall doesn't feel that it’s 'anything to really think about’.
I heartily concur. This is a very entertaining film, and for someone out looking for a fun film t() just enjoy, this is a good one. CHttrall also mentioned that the city looked gocxl in this film, and that it’s a shame that it wasn’t shown more. It’s nice to see Philadelphia get some attention not related to racial strife or garbage rotting in the street, Wanamaker’s also looks outstanding, and you are left with a desire to go there and make sure that’s what it really looks like. The cynical or literal minded among us might not enjoy this film, but for pure entertainment it’s a good bet.

From the Hip: A forecastby William F ra tiTritingle Staff Writer
From the Hip is a comedy that asks the question: is it moral to defend a person whom you know is guilty? Robin “ S torm y" Weathers (Judd Nelson) is fres*’ out of law school and eager to try his first case. But the big law firm he works for doesn’t let lawers try their first case until they’ve acquired at least a year’s experience with the firm by doing go-fer work. Through some antics one comes to expect from a Hollywood comedy, Stormy wins the right to try his first case. The case is unwinnable, but Stormy lives up to his name and, in a very unorthodox manner, wins it anyway.
The victory puts the law firm in a tight .spot. They want to fire him because he 's so ill-mannered in the courtroom and is a disgrace to the firm,, but the firm’s clientele love him and threaten to find another firm if he leaves. When the firm takes on another no-win case they feel relieved when
the client demands to have Stormy defend him and intend to just let him fall from grace with the public after he loses, and then fire him.
Douglas Benoit (John Hurt) is accused of murder. The murder weapon and blo<xl stained clothes were found in his car. As the case goes on, Stormy begins to suspect his client is guilty. Stormy’s morals won’t allow him to defend Benoit, but he is professionally obligated. This brings up another key point of the film which is that profe.ssional ethics aren’t always morally right.
What keeps this film afloat is the comedy itself. With L A . Law, a very serious and very good show about lawyers on television, this film is a funny change o f pace. Stormy’s illegal defenses and actions in court are hysterical.
However; this film really fails to treat the ethical and moral issues at any serious length. As soon as Stormy starts to really think about the implications involved with what he's doing.
it gets swept aside. He goes to his girlfriend (Elizabeth Perkins) and asks her what he should do or should've done. She's o f no help though, and it seems like her character means nothing to the plot. She is only there to hold Stormy's hand once in a while, whenever it 's convenient.
This film is a quantum leap for director Bob Clark. H e’s most noted for directing Porky's which has no redeeming values at all. This attempt to add some depth to his film is certainly a good one. The ethical issue could have been examined more closely and % excellent, thought provoking movie would have been the result. Instead we are left with a comedy that, though it has its merits, is superficial nonetheless.
Judd Nelson is adequate as the zany lawyer and John Hurt is his usual slimy self. Darren McGavin has one or two moments as well. From the Hip is a decent film that works as a comedy, if not as a social commentary.
Music
The new, the good and the badby C hris E rbOf The Triangle
Hipsway - Hipsway Hipsway’s debut album is a collec
tion o f lively, danceable tunes somewhat reminiscent o f the latest offerings o f INXS and Simple Minds.
Like the vocalists of both aforementioned bands, Grahame Skinner often sings in a lower range than the thin tenor found in most new popular music. The lyrics are ho doubt very meaningful, but their meaning is lost on the listener.
Typical o f the musical style, bassist John McElhone and drummer Harry Travers lock into a fairly simple and very rhythmic pattern and maintain it throughout the song. Guitarist Pim Jones takes a minimalistic approach to his playing, using very simple parts to add some light sound colorations to the
basic song pattern. None o f these players are likely to have a great impact on other musicians, but they are more than adequate. There is a good mix o f songs on this album, all of which are very pleasant and danceable.
U p-tem po songs like “ The H oney th ief” and “ The Broken Years” are interspersed with slower ballads like “ Upon a Thread .” This album is a good addition to a record collection, and will be especially welcome at a party. Those people who like INXS, especially on Listen Like Thieves, will definitely enjoy this debut effort by Hipsway.
The Stranglers - DreamtimeThe Stranglers are very similar to
Hipsway in, attempting to achieve the same animated style o f dance music.
Vocal chores are shared by guitarist J.J. Burnel and bassist Hu(jh C or
nwell, and also seem to have been influenced by groups like INXS. Many songs are half spoken with a chorus which is sung, like Lou Reed used to do in classics like “ Sweet Jane.” Keyboardist Dave Greenfield adds backing vocals, and a fellow by the name of Jet Black sits behind the drum set. The playing is good, but again, nothing earth-shattering. The songs all have the same semi-comatose energy level, and the mix of .songs is not nearly as good as that on the Hipsway’s album. After a while you are left hoping desperately that they will put some real energy into the album, but it remains sterile throughout.
There is nothing bad about this album, but there is no reason to recommend it either. Anyone considering this album would be well advised to get the Hipsway’s album instead.
Woody Allen:The ring of the Masked Avenger
by Michael Pave'seTriangle Staff Writer
When I was younger, I didn’t understand Woody Allen’s work. 1 saw one of his most bizarre movies. Stardust Memories, and hated it. It took me years to sit down for a double feature of Annie Hall and Manhattan. I found out then that he is one of the most talented w rite rs /d irec tors/actors o f our times. Since then. I have seen his latest movies, Hannah. .., The Purple Ro.ie... and Zelig, and with each movie he becomes more endearing to me. Radio Days only confirms my thoughts: He is the very best we have.
Woody Allen’s new movie. Radio Days, is a nostalgic look at the past, seen through this Academy Award winner’s eyes.
Though never seen on screen, Allen does have a major part in this film— he is the narrator. It is Allen who spins the tales o f the past, dodging in and out of the lives o f the characters, stitching a colorful quilt o f stories and anecdotes about the past. It is a variation of “ The Love Boat,” only done in Woody Allen’s style.
Radio Days takes place in the '30's , when life was much simpler, and the rad i^w a^ ir^ ever^one^s jiv in^^
instead of a television. The plot centers around Joe— Woody Allen as a child— and his family, neighbors, and the celebrities of the radio days.
The first of many stories deals with Joe and how he reverts to theft to get a “ Masked Avenger” ring. The Masked Avenger is the most powerful superhero in the eyes of most of the boys of that time. His voice is masculine and virile, the perfect hero over the radio, but when the actor is .seen playing him he is a short, rotund balding man.
Joe’s parents are constantly at each others’ throats. His sister listens in on their neighbors’ conversations through their party line. Joe has an uncle who hangs out with “ the guys at the docks,” and can never say " n o ” to the fish they give him, so it’s fish every night for Joe and his family.
Cousin Bea, forever looking for a man. blushes her legs, and paints lines up the backs of her calves because she has no stockings, finds many men: one gay, one married, one who runs away from her because he believes “ The War of the Worlds,” and another who takes her dancing. That same night, she becomes a contestant on a radio game show, winning money because she can identify three salt water fish.
There is also Sally White, the
cigarette girl, with a voi-e like a cat in a washing machine. She has numerous affairs with major radio stars to get a job on the radio, succeeding only after she studies diction.
There is one pojgnant .scene where Joe is about to get a ” whippin’” from his dad, who is stopped in mid-slap, along with the rest o f the country, when the radio announces the sad plight of the Phelps family, whose little girl is trapped at the bottom of a well.
The whole movie is vintage Allen. No detail is spared in this movie. The stits, costumes, and sound track are superb. Allen also knows exactly how to tell a story. Though not as heartfelt as his last film Hannah and Her Si.<iters, it is a special tribute to a much simpler time.
The cast, including many of Allen’s previous co-stars, is faultle.ss. Most notable are Mia Farrow as Sally, Julie Kavner as Joe’s mother, and the always superb Dianne Weist as Bea. Also, look for Diane Keaton as the “ Classy Singer” demonstrating her perfect singing voice.
Radio Days is a special movie, that will bring a lump to your throat along with a longing for the thirties.
THE MAN FROM MISSISIPPIby M ar ty BeamTriangle Staff Writer
Friday Feb. 6 th found me standing on 38th street waiting for those masters o f efficiency, the Chestnut Cabaret doormen, to let me escape the subfreezing temperatures and enter that strange and wonderful world of the post Friday Night Flashback. I was enduring both o f these ordeals in order to see and hear the Man from Mississippi, Steve Forbert.
Finally entering after 11 ;00, my expectations for finding a table were not high but, luckily, my presence has a way of dispersing the suit and tie

the first table from the stage waving
goodbye to a group of departing Yuppies.
The show started promptly at 11:15 as Steve and the other three members of his band took the stage to raucus applause. The applause was earned by Steve as he performed spiritied renditions o f originals from his various albums and also threw in some well- chosen cover songs. Having never seen Steve live I was impressed by his stage presence. His feel for song choice kept the tempo changing, but maintained the energy level whether it was a fast or slow tune.

After a 40 minute set and a short
break he returned to a smaller but more enthusiastic crowd of Forbert fans whom he treated to a wider variety of his music, doing more country dance tunes and rowdy rock than in the previous set. The joint was jum pin’ for the next hour -.vith many an interruption and he end jd the second .set with some old favorites requested by popular demand.
Three encores later it was time to venture home with that satisfied feeling that only comes from good live music played with spirit.

What’s a sport fan to do?Out o f Bounds
I)i>n h'cilcr
I'ho MU)' is tallinp and the heating bills arc ri'-jny. a sure sign ol winter. Worse yet. we arc now once again cn- ircnchcii i ■ the drcadeii month of l'ebruar> . I'ebriiary is the sport fan's nightmare. \ s a matter ol tact, the tnic
sports Ian diwsn't need a calendar to rea lize that F eb ruary has crept up on him. only a TV guide.
Gone are the N FL p layoffs , h a \ i n g culrtiinated two
weeks ago in the usual fashion. A week's woi:h of shouting and name calling, an . mire afternwn of analiz- ing. predicung. and visiting with the starting defensive tackle 's wife, followed by a blowout that wasn't w orth a quarter of the attention it was g i\cn.
Baseball hasn't arrived yet. but it's just around the corner (which is. in my opinion, the best feature that February has to offer), llnfortunatcly. spring training d(K'sn't arrive until March, and the die-hard baseball fans are doomed to the cruel fate o f listening to .1 mcdiocrc starting pitcher whine because he can't llnd a team that's willing to take a second niotgage on
L- st.idium in order to meet hi.s salary demands.
Basketball and ice hiKkey both suffer in February as well. The NBA seems to bring the problems upon itself Most teams have played in e.\- cess of fitt> games by the middle of Februarv llveryone knows that the l.akcrs and cities and Pistons, el a\. will be in the playoffs. The only drama left is the ba.tle for home court advantage... ((X)p.'- plea.se pardon me. I must ha\ e do/ed off) and the tight for those final pluyoli'spots. Actually, if I were an .NBA e \ :cutive. I 'd be embarras- ed as hell it nn team'didn't make the playoffs, s cing as si.xteen of the twenty-three franchises get a postseason birth (last year the Bulls lost fifty gam. > and still made the playoffs). I 'uess the league feels bad for them. n o . seeing as the seven teams th;;t iton't get to play in the fun games after the season get to throw their names in a hat for a chance at the number > :i dralt pick.
Ice hockiy has the same playoff woes as the NBA. with sixteen of twenty-one 'cams qualifying. We all know that FJmonton and Philly will be there ana so will a whole bunch of teams that are mediocre at best. The NTU. also uffers from the unique dilemna of lack of network television exposure (tlie major networks think hockey is t. ) violent, so they show- boxing instead). If you don't have liSPN, it's lough to follow professional tu 'ckiy.
Well. \ i u 're probably asking \oursclf. what is a sports fan to do? Not much, '-ast weekend, the major networks o.Yered several less-than- intriguing e ents. College basketball
wouldn't have been a bad choice if Notre Dame hadn't been one of the contestants. Notre Dame. Nith in fix)t- ball and basketball, must hold the record for the most televised games for a team that couldn't beat it's way out of a wet pap>er bag.
Another alternative was auto racing. Now. auto racing can be exciting if someone runs into someone el.se and a seven car pile-up ensues, but this only seems to happen once a race and people are usually injured. The rest of the day is spent watching a group of vehicles driving in circles. Might as well jump in your car and drive around the block for an hour.
Golf is another standard February substitute. I enjoy watching golf for short periods of time, but I can only listen to a whispering announcer with a British accent for so long. Another problem I have with golf is the ball. Golf balls are tough to see. especially with the lousy reception we get on campus. Before I can figure out what happened, the British guy says "O h . he's sliced into the bunker.. .back to you at 18. P a t" and suddenly there is a new golfer on the screen. Perhaps if all of the golfers used those horrid orange balls, at lea.st we at home would be able to keep track o f what's going on.
Bo.xing. gymnastics, figure skating, indoor track, and bowling generally round out the February slate. I'd like to cover these events under the general heading o f Wide World o f Sports . since the ABC program is generally responsible for the televising of the aforementioned sports. I have nothing against boxers (although I question their sanity), gymnasts, figure skaters, runners and jumpers, or bowlers. It's just that their spons don 't stack up with the big four. At least track and bowling have objective scoring schemes, but figure skating and gymnastics. which employ totally objective scoring, are hard to get hyped up ab<iut. I sit there and watch a gymnast put on what I consider a fabulous show, only to see that the Soviet judge has given her a 6.5. while the American judge has awarded a 9.0. What does that say other than that the rules committee needs to get some judges w ith a common set of criteria. Another problem with Wide World o f Sports is the insistence upon using the "u p close and personal" gimmick to drag an event out to the desired length,I really don 't care if "F red the Polevaulter" has a husky named Bo and met his wife while shopping at the A & P.
So w hat do you do? Here's my suggestion. Go get a six-pack and some munchies of your choice, invite your better half over to your place (or, if you don't have a better half, invit? yourself to the home of someone you'd like to go out with), and watch an old western. March is just around the corner.

Drexel matmen win, lose, and draw at MUby Don Feiler *Of Jlif Triangle
The Drexel University Wrestlers upped their record to 13-4-1 this past weekend with a win, a loss, and a draw in a quad meet at M il le rsv i l le U nivers ity . The Dragon matmen are undefeated (4-0) in the East Coast Conference, w ith two conference opponents remaining on the schedule.
Drexel opened the day at Millersville on a sour note, as they were defeated in the first match by Jam es M adison. 24-17. The Dragons held the lead early in the contest, but the tide turned in James Madison's favor when D U's John Cixiper. who was winning at the time, suffered a separated shoulder at 158 lbs. and lost by default. The Dragons were unable to overcome the default loss as James Madison held on to win.
In the second match of the day, the Dragons handled Coppin St. with relative ease, as coach Jack Childs rested several of his top wrestlers.
In the final match of the day, the Dragons faced the Marauders of Millersville. Millersville, the host school, had defeated Coppin St. in their first match of the day and then
. destroyed James Madison in the second match. The Dragons would have their work cut out for them, Drexel jumped out to an early lead behind the efforts of Jeff Annesi, Paul Zarbatany. and Tim Rothka. Millersville roared back, however, to claim the last tw elve points of the match and finish up with a draw.
Coach Childs was disapointed with his team's loss to James Madison, but on the whole, is
pleased w ith the team's effort so far this season. Looking forward to the tC 'C championships in March. Childs is cautiosly optomistic. The one major drawback, in his eyes, is the team's lack of experience. Aside from Annesi and Zarbatany. who are juniors, and sophomore Jerry Hulbcrt. the Dragons lineup is made up of freshmen, who will be competing under the pressure of a collegiate championship for the
first time.Childs also indicated that Drex
el should boast several number one seeds in the tournament. Annesi (118 lbs.. 14-5). Zarbatany (12b lbs.. 17-3). and Rob Miller (167 lbs., 10-3) all seem assured of a top seed, and Tim Rothka (134 lbs,. 16-4) and Bill Ward (1.50 lbs,. 15-3-1) should be seeded at least second if not first.
Drexel University easily defeated Coppin St. Saturday at Millersville U.
Lady Dragons capture PAIAW badminton crownSpecial to The Triangle
The 15th annual Pennsylvania Association o f Intercollegiate Athletics for W'omen (PAIAW) badminton champion.ships were held in Drexel on the 7th of February. Seven teams with 47 entries (27 singles and 20 doubles) from around Philadelphia participated in the tournament.
The Drexel women started on a winning note with top seeded Carolyn Mott cruising to a 11-0. 11-1 first round win. Kate Harding and Chris Rohleder (hobbling wih a sprained ankle) were other first round winners for the team. The doubles teams of Denise Underwtxxi & Linda Vovolak and Teresa <fe Debbie Kahn (non point contributors) won their first round matches pretty comfortably w hile the team of f racy Longenberger & Karen Mohler lost but qualified for the consolation round, where they were to play a key role later.
The closest match o f the day in the singles was the one which featured Drexel's Kate Harding against favored Karen Lewis (Bryn Mawr) in the quarter-finals, Kate lost the first game 8 - 11, went on to win the second in a nail-biting 12-11 finish, and was down 3-9 in the third before showing nerves of steel and incredible fighting ability to clinch the match with a 12-11 win. In the semifinals she proved too classy for her opponent, second seeded Sheri Green of L'rsinus, (11-3; 11-7) and made it into the finals.
While Kate was having some problems with her opponents, Carolyn Mott (despite a pulled hamstring) was encountering little trouble with beating her challengers in her ao>ance to the finals, Chris Rohleder fell in the second round, but compatriot Danielle Varzaly contibuted a vital point by winning one match in the consolation round.
The doubles team could not progress any further—w ith both teams losing in the second round—but the team of Tracy & Karen kept Drexel's hopes alive in the consolation round with a couple of wins (in a four round competition).
When the feathers cleared from the hectic start, the four matches on court as finals were Carolyn Mott vs. teammate Kate Harding in the women’s singles; Kahni Wignaraja & Anjuli Bhattacharjee (Bryn Mawr) vs. Ruchel Ramos & Donna Carpenter (Bryn Mawr) in the women’s doubles; Kathy Gantert (Cedar Crest) vs. Becky Sharpless (Swarthmore) in the consolation singles; and Karen Mohler &
Tracy Longenberger (Drexel) vs. Elise Franklin & Peggy Ferris (Harcum) in the consolation doubles.
More interestingly, the team scores at that stage read Bryn Mawr 20. Drexel 20!
The women's singles got over early with Carolyn whipping Kate, denying her any points. It was a similar situation in the women's doubles, tin), with the Wignaraja-Bhattacharjee combination winning 15-2. 15-8. The consolation singles la.sted a little longer with Becky Sharpless proving more resolute o f the two. triumphing 1 1-3 . 11-3. The only match, therefore, left on court was the con.solation doubles
and the team scores were Drexel and Bryn Maw—22 points each!
Remembering that it was one pointfo r a svin in th e c o n s o la t i o n ro u n d s ,
it was imperative that the Tracy & Karen team win if Drexel were to triumph. At the end o f the first game in which the Harcum girls breezed through 15-6. this seemed a distant goal.
With advice from coaches Carol Kashow and Peggy Kane, and inspirational vocal support from the bench, the Drexel girls took the second game in a close 15-13 encounter after being tied at 13-13 at one stage. So, on to the third game and what a clifthanger
it turned out to bel Not only was the competition
limited to being on court, the Drexel. Harcum. and Bryn .Mawr teams were trying to outdo each other from the sidelines tool The teams battled point for point. 3 all. 4 all. 5 all... So it went till 10 points apiece. It was then that the Drexel girls put on the pressure to pull in front 14 to 10, They then lost the service and the Harcum girls pulled to within two, A few outstanding returns helped get the shuttle back in the hands of the Drexel team. This time they did not falter and went on to w in. much to the ecstasy of the team members.
