G rand Valley Is definitely succeeding In supporting earth conservation through the “Choose to Reuse" pro­gram sponsored by th e Uni­versity Bookstore.

To reduce the 65,000 plas­tic bags w asted every year, a p ro g ra m s im ila r to th e “Choose to Reuse" program was established last fall.

S T A T E N E W SAn ad challenging the

Holocaust that ran in the University of Michigan’s student newspaper last Thursday set off a wave of anger and protest.

Thefull-page advertise­ment challenged the ex- terminationof millions of Jews in the Holocaust as “irresponsible exaggera­tion.”

The ad, which was mailed in camera-ready, was not read before it went into the paper. Members of the Michi­

gan Daify advertising staff feel that the ad should not have been run.

According to Beth Warber, theDally’sbusiness manager the paper’s advertising policy reserves the right to reject any ads it considers unfit.

“We did not make a con­scious decision to place the ad," said Warber. T his is a student organization and we make mistakes like arty or­ganization.”

But Andrew Gottesihan, editor of the dally, defends thead, saying “We don’t agree with the views or the sup­posed facts in the ad, but as editors of the newspaper we cannot condone its censor­ship.”

The ad in question asserted that “fumigation gas Cham­bers did exist to delouse clothing and equipment to prevent d isease at the camps. It is from this life­saving procedure that the myth of extermination gas chambers emerged."

The ad, which cost $1,052 to run, was signed by Brad­ley R Smith of the Commit­tee for Open Debate on the Holocaust

“Historical revisionism has got to be placed on the map ofhate-mongering, of people out to get blacks and Jews," said Joseph Cohane, direc­tor of the HiUel Foundation, the Jewish student center.

“Censorship is a danger­

ous issue, but to say the Holocaust never happened is like saying blacks came to this country willingly."

N A TIO N A L N E W SAs part of the intensive

Democratic strategy to pum­mel President George Bush, the House of Representatives held an all-nighter that lasted untilmid-moming on Thurs­day.

The cause of their anger is Bush’s repeated vetoing of legislation specifically de­signed to help the many Americans who are without J obs, a segment of the popu­lation which is increasing as the economic recession con­tinues.

A television ad campaign is supposed to begin air­ing th is w eek in three cit­ies-W ashington, Charles­ton , W est Virginia, and H ouston.

The D em ocrats promise to keep u p the pressure w ith political memorabilia ranging from bu ttons to acerbic T -sh irts and with continued speeches in the House during prime-time viewing hours.

The D em ocrats will also hold m eetings with unem ­ployed w orkers to bring a tten tio n to their s itua­tion a n d to assail B ush for h is a p p a ren t disregard for th e plight of working-class Am ericans.

Switching the en trance and exit of the E berhard C enter park ing lot off of Sum m er S treet downtown w o u ld c o s t $ 5 0 0 0 to $10,000, said the E berhard C enter building m anager in a meeting with the vice presi­den t of Com m unity Affairs Committee.

The university would have to c o n tr a c t s e rv ic e s to reverse th e parking booth, DickM ehler told Senator Jeff Reed.

T h e S e n a te p a s s e d a resolution in O ctober to pro­pose switching th e en trance from the no rth passagew ay to the sou th passageway and the exit from th e so u th p a s­sageway to the n o rth p as­sageway in order to solve traffic problem s.

W ires u n d e rn e a th th e booth control the b a rs th a t block the en trance an d exit ways. The weight of a car

triggers the w ires to raise and lower the bars. The booth would have to be re­versed to m ake the p ro­posed changes.

The Senate proposed two alternate solutions:

— Propose th a t th e city m ake Sum m er S tree t in to a two-way s tree t Instead of a one-way street. The cu rren t en trance and exit w ould be m aintained, b u t there would be no m ore crossover of traffic.

— Set up a n exit on the w est side of th e lot. This would create a two-lane en ­trance from th e e a s t side of the lot and a tw o-lane exit ou t the w est side of th e lot.

VOICES IN THE CROWD. .The debate continuesDr. Death:

By Audra L ousiasCampus Life Editor

Well, Dr. J a c k “D eath" Kevorkian an d h is suicide m achine strike again. This will no t b e a n editorial abou t doctor assis ted suicide, eu ­th a n a s ia o r m ora l finger pointing.

One of the wom en who chose to take h e r own life w as Shery Miller, 43, of Ros­eville. Miller suffered from Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a non-fatal, disabling disease th a t s trip s victim s of th e ir m otor skills, while leaving th e ir m inds totally in tact.

As m y fam ily and I learned of Miller’s actions, we were quite confused, appalled and upset. My fa the r suffered from MS for eight years be­fore h is n a tu ra l death in 1985.

Unlike Miller, m y father w as useless a t the tim e of h lsdeath . He couldn't speak, he couldn’t eat, h e couldn’t move, he w as a six-foot, five- inch infantile vegetable.

Miller, according to the Detroit Free Press, “placed a m ask over he r own face and - with h e r own h a n d - pulled

a lever on a ta n k containing a 3.6 percen t m ixture of a ir and carbon monoxide," kill­ing herself.

Her actions, o r the fact th a t sh e could move h e r h an d s an d talk, m akes me ill. She h a d mobility, she could say “Yes I w an t to die." My fa th e r lied s till an d drooled.

I’m su re he hated h is s itu ­ation, b u t I’m willing to bet th a t he w ould have given anything to be able to hold m y m other’s h an d and tell h e r th a t h e loved h e r - one last time.

In 1977, a t the age of 33, m y father (the tall accoun­ta n t for Ford M otor Co.) be­g a n e x p e r ie n c in g d izzy spells, vision problem s and lack of coordination. After being poked and prodded by foot specialists, eye doctors and neurologists, he w as di­agnosed w ith MS. Being seven, I d idn ’t know w hat th is m ean t. To m y p aren ts it m ean t uncertain ty and chal­lenge.

At first, a wooden cane a s s i s te d h is w a lk in g . Shortly, he h ad regressed to

using a three-pronged, one- handed cane. From there,

•he w ent to u sing a two- handed walker. He gave up driving, h is Job, an d m any in terests.

T re m o rs , in v o lu n ta r y shaking, becam e so frequent a n d u n c o n tro lla b le th a t people in res tau ran ts stared, w hispered. He couldn’t sign h is nam e, change th e TV sta tio n s or sm oke a ciga­rette. His speech w as be­coming slurred .

H e w a s s t i l l w a lk in g though, w ith extrem e diffi­cu lty . C om ing in to th e k itchen for d inner m ean t climbing two sta irs , an ev­ery day function for m ost. He lost h is footing, fell and h it h is head on a d rain pipe. Both h is head an d the pipe were b roken and gushing.

O utside, waiting for the am bulance, th e neighbor­hood k id s g a th e re d an d asked w h a t h ad happened. By 1 9 8 5 ,1 had sp en t m any h o u rs waiting for those am ­bulances, answ ering those questions.

W hen he cam e hom e he

used a wheelchair.He w ould wheel h im self

into th e bathroom and - in a two step process - a ttem pt to lower h is p an ts and s it on the toilet. M any tim es, he m issed his target and landed on the floor in a puddle. A 12 year-old can no t lift a 220 pound m an . I h ad the neigh­bor m en help. Their eyes and m y fa th e rs ’ were so em barrassed and sad.

Yet he urged oh. And so did we. We w ent to h o u rs of family therapy , MS Society m ee tin g s , h ire d n u r s e s , struggled w ith finances, did bad in school and work, cried, laughed, tried eveiy- thing to do o u r best.

“Mrs. Lousias, you ca n ’t be expected to care for th is deteriorating m an," the sp e ­cialists w ould say. “T hat’s w hat you th in k ,” m y m other said , w alk ing aw ay w ith more determ ination.

We never considered m y father a burden .

A treatm entw as suggested to stop the awful trem ors. Brain surgery would stop them , b u t it a lm ost stopped him. He w as allergic to the dye th a t is sho t into the brain and he w ent in to code blue. They revived him.

W hen he cam e home, he had a dazed look on h is face. He d idn’t shake, he d idn 't do

m uch . He w as restricted m ostly to the hospital bed. W hat did occur were sei­zures.

S tra igh t hom e from sev­en th grade, I w ent to check on m y father. He w as hav­ing a seizure. I p u t a wooden spoon in h is m outh , called EMS, called my m other and w atched an d waited. No problem . This w as not an u n u su a l occurrence.

By th e tim e m y father died, I could p u t in a catheter, feed him , change h is acci­den ts , m ake a dam n good hosp ita l bed and U y to be norm al.

M arch 6, 1985. A call to m y algebra class brought me to th e school office. It was over. Pneum onia claimed the non-talking, non-m ov­ing, atrophied, drooling man. Not carbon monoxide.

I u n d e rs tan d the anguish th a t Miller experienced, bu t I do no t un d ers tan d how she could have so weakly given u p w hen she w as still a func­tioning h u m an being. The fact th a t sh e didn’t w ant to be a b u rd en is u n d e rs tan d ­able, b u t unjustified.

I w an ted to share m y ex­perience w ith you to let you know th a t w hat Miller did w as a s lap in the face to MS sufferers — the victim s and the families.

UPWARD, from p. 2 -----------Mathematics and Science.

“My goal is to have a t least 95 percent of the participants go into am ath or science curricu­lum at the college level without needing remedial support," Smith Alexander stated.

Students in Upward Bound Programs are required to com­plete three requirements dur­ing the school year.

1) Students m ust tutor el­ementary orjunior-high school students in science or m ath for a t least one semester.

2) Students m ust also com­pete in a science fair or in the annual GVSU Science Olym­piad.

3) Students m ust also com­plete a science or m ath project

40 students are chosen from all Upward Bound Programs to

attend a six-week summerpro- gram on the GVSU Allendale campus.

To be eligible for this pro­gram, students m ust be going into their sophomore orjunior years of high school and m ust have completed at least one summer and one academicyear in their home Upward Bound Program.

In addition, the students m ust be reading a t grade level, have completed at least one year of m ath at or above the Algebra level, and m ust be in terested in or have the potential to do well in an accelera ted m ath /sc len ce . curriculum.

The sum m er program is free to participating students, and Includes classes, laboratory work and experiments, as well a s field tr ip s . A reas of c o n c en tra tio n a re hea lth

science, biology, chemistry, and mathematics, although other subjects will be studied.

To d te ju s t a few examples of the num erous field trips that th e su m m e r p rogram participants went on last year, students tested Lake Michigan water on GVSlTs D. J . Angus, s p e n t a w eekend a t the M u seu m of Science and Industry in Chicago, and visited the research department of the Amway Corporation.

The next GVSU Upward Bound Regional Center Pro­gram is scheduled for June 17- Ju ly 26, 1992. This session m arks the first time that Grand R ap id s a re a high school students not enrolled in the Upward Bound Program may p a rtic ip a te .

used to pay police to arrest the protesters," Blackburn said. That could be redirected."

Lohman and Blackburn agreed that most people do not realize homeless are real and worthwhile people.

Students may not be as dis­tanced from the homeless life as they think.

Mary Stoepker was a home­less woman found on a Grand Rapids Community College parking ramp, beaten and shot.

She had a college education said Blackburn. She had a family: one brother is a minis­ter and one brother holds a managerial position

Delta Sigma Phi, sponsor of the sit out, contributed some of the pledge money earned from the sit out in the name of Stoepker.

Lohm an v o lu n te e rs a t Degage, a “recreation center” for the homeless. Volunteers socialize with people who come in from the streets.

She feels that if every person spent one day in a soup kitchen thinking and actions concern­ing the homeless would change.

“We need to put a face on the problem," Lohman said.

NIRVANA: NEVERMIND & PM DAWN: OFTHE HEART; b F M SOUL AMD OF THBy C hris F lisekEntertainment Writer

NIRVANA:"Well, th e lifestyle can ’t

contain us. Here we are now, en terta in us!" shrieks lead voice, K urt Cobaln d u r in g th e c h o ru s o f N irvana’s b reak th ro u g h single, “Sm ells Like Teen Spirit." A song th a t, e s­se n tia lly su m s u p th e angst an d indecisiveness of m ost teens. “I find it h a r d / i t ’s h a rd to f in d / w ell, w h a te v e r /n e v e r - mirxd."

T hese Seattle boys; (Cobain; bassist, Chris Novoselic and druinmer. Dave GrohDprevioustyput out a wonderful debutwith the ultra-grunge heavy. BLEACH. WithNevermind, they have re­leased a more melodic of­fering that seems to focus on people who have no real d u e about anything. The chorus to ‘In Bloom”

goes: “He’s the o n e / who likes all ou r pretty so n g s/ and he likes to sing a long / ...bu t he don’t know w hat it m eans." This is a them e th a t dom inates the entire disc.

Nevermind is a n album of ugly pop. Every song is very catchy a s well a s intelligently and creatively w ritten, b u t N irvana are products of the S ea ttle /S u b Pop scene. So while th e songs m ay seem friendly enough, th e m usic and rage in Cobain’s vocals slap you right into reality.

Nevermind isn’t a s fierce a n a lbum as Bleach. It m ay be because of the move from in d ie , S u b Pop to DGC Records and, like anyone, they w an t a new accessibil­ity, w hich they have found w ith “S m ells Like T een S p irit" But on cu ts like “Breed." "Territorial P ass­ings’ an d the fierce, "Stay Away" th e hard-core heart still b ea ts . Cobaln h a s aw ay

w ith lyrics th a t I haven’t h e a rd since Soul Asylum’s D avePim er. H e h a sa w a y o f using d a rk /d ry hum or with­o u t d iluting th e point of the song, su ch a s in "Polly," a wry tale abou t a relation­sh ip th a t, even though the p layers try to m ake it in te r­esting, it still reeks of m o­notony. “Polly w a n t’s a c ra ck e r/ th in k I should get off h e r first/...Polly says her back h u r ts / m aybe she’s as bored a s me." However you decipher it, it’s a very vis­ceral song.

N everm ind is a g r e a t sophom ore album by a band w ho can only get better.

Here we are now. en ter­ta in us.

PM DAWN:PM Dawn (who are s u r­

prisingly n o t a s pretentious a s th ey sound) have released w h a t m ay be th e m ost inno­vative rap a lbum s since De La Soul first h it th e scene

(and I use the term loosely). Lead voice, Prince Be (Attrel Cordes) sings on m ost cu ts an d h a s a n am azingly soul­ful, melodic voice. J u s t check out the cu rre n t single, “S e t A drift O n M em ory B liss ," w h ic h f e a tu r e s Spandau Ballet’s “True" a t its center.

The Utopian Experience is a very religious album . Ev­erything from C hristian ity to Zen gets tim e here. On “Intro" Prince Be sings. "I’d like to send th is up to God. I’d like to say w hat’s up to God." And th a t’s the first of m any tim es th a t G. m akes an appearance on the disc.

D J M inu tem lx ( J a r re t t Cordes) is a gem . The sam ples- he u se s are per­fectly in tegrated in to the songs, such a s the S pandau Ballet riff an d th e Beatles’ ‘Baby You’re a Rich Man" finds its w ay into "The B eau­tiful."

The Utopian Experience is a very mellow, easy-to- lis ten -to a n d float in to piece. A t ages 21 an d 19, the Corbes b ro thers are a s ye t un touched by the b u ­reaucracies of m usic m ak ­ing, to still allow them to fully express themselves on th is , and hopefully, en su ­ing efforts. For all th e m ellow /m ystical religious tracks , th a t are obviously PM Dawn’s forte’, they do ta k e a few h e a v y fu n k chances with “Comatose," “A W atcher's Point ofView’ an d “Shake" and pull them off extremely well.

To quote funk pioneer, George Clinton: “If you will su c k m y soul, I will Uck yo u r funky emotion." PM Dawn suck and lick all over th is album . W atch out for th ese boys, th is disc is abou t a s close to the Uto­p ian experience as you can g e t

There’s a lot to be said for working at a retail record store. Saturday November 3. a t the Kentwood Believe In Music, (wherelworkJThe Smithereens ' did an in-store appearance, much to the delight of most of the employees and the roughly two hundred fans tha t lined up to meet them and get auto­graphs and free tickets (given out by WLAV for their show at Welsh Auditorium later in the evening).

The band showed up at Be­lieve In Music a t about 5 p.m. m uch to the relief of the impatient crowd who were only being quelled by the fact that I was throwing Smithereens T- shiits a t them. (People get goofy around free stuff.)

The band signed autographs for roughfy two hours and after the crowd had gone, they shopped and took photos with the B.I.M. employees. They were all very gracious guys; stardom had riot yet gonri to their head. They even sang “Happy Birthday" toGVSUstu- dent, Sara Daly, as she got aT- shirt signed.

Thefreeshowat Welsh Audi­torium was killer. Sponsored by WLAV for their birthday (which caused for some gratu­itous ego stroking before the Smithereens came out) was a

nice gift to their listeners. The opening act, folk-rockers, Ri­chard Exhaimen and the Owls were good, b u t very basic and nothing to get really excited abou t

Howeveri The Smithereens were phenomenal. Theyplayed this drow like it was either the first or the last show of the tour. They were having a great time up there and their energy was absorbed by the crowd. Lead singer, Pat Dinizio knows how to have a good time. Even though the powers that be at Welsh deemed there be no smoking, Dinizio encouraged everyone to light up when the band chimed into “Cigarette" from their Especially For You album. That was only after they teased the crowd with a bit of The Kinks’ “Lola". They fo­cused mainly on songs from the new album; Blow l/p/but it was the older songs, such as “House We Used To Live In” and “Blood and Roses" that really drove the crowd into a frenzy.

One of the evening’s marry high points was the encore, in which Dinizio initiated a sing- a-longonacoverofTheBeatles’ “Yellow Submarine", which came complete with bubble machine. This was followed by a killer version of “The Seeker" by The Who. It was the perfect ending to a great show.

Recap; Last week Jessica decided to drop Harold and try towinRobert Herfriend, Renae, mistakenly thought that Jes­sica was interested in Biyan, Renae’s boyfriend. Meanwhile, Daphne Sinclair was watching the antics ofboth ladies. Finger- ingacassette tape in her pocket, she mentioned having her own plans that needed to be taken care of.Episode #2:

When deciding what to do with my precious cassette tape, I, Daphne Sinclair, had the fu­tures of many people in mind. My original plan was to have the tape, of Jessica and Biyan hav­

ing . . . oh, never mind. My original plan, aslwasgettingto, was to have the tape played over the loudspeaker in the Field HousedurtngCampusLtfeNght 1991. That would have payed Renae back in grand style.

My plan failed when my dear friend, Phillip, failed to show up. He was my key total humilia­tion, but he seemed to have more important things in mind, such as seeing his boyfriend Doug, or was it Chris? 1 had explained to him that truefriends were more important than his boyfriends, butheneverseemed to believe me.

Now my revenge on Renae paled in comparison to the re­venge I had planned for Phillip. The incriminating photograph ofhim that had shown up in my Lanthammailbax confirmed the

suspicions I had had all along. I looked at the picture again and smiled as I locked in my desk drawer.

Renae breezed past the Lanthom office and waved furi­ously as she strolled in. Shehad the look of anxious anticipation on her face, as if she were just dying to tell me the latest GVSU gossip going around about Jes­sica. An outsider would never have guessed the two were “best friends."

“Have you talked to Marcia lately?"

“Renae, I'm really not Inter­ested In anything you or Marcia might have to say to me." I turned my attention back to the computer screen

“Daphne, I'm sure you'll want to hear this . . . It's not about Jessica. Thisone'saboutYOU."Peepinqs

“It’s easy to play for him,” added M andt “afiyouhavetodo Is give him 100% all of the time. If you play as hard as you can, you'll play a t Grand Valley.”

Villemure’s squad has some large obstacles to overcome this year. Among them, willbeflnd- ing the right players to take over forgraduates,Todd Jenks, Steve Harvey, ShawnOMara, and Eric Taylor.

Their skill andmental tough­ness are going to be a tremen­dous loss,” said Villemure.

“We’re looking to find the play­ers who can at least approach their toughness, and that will help a to t”

The Lakers look to fill these spots with an experienced core from last year's squad. Senior co-captains Jason Devine and Mandt hope to provide leader­ship to along with juniors Brent Wichalz and Bitner.

They were all big tosses, espe­cially Harvey, and this team n eed s lead e rs ,” rem arked M andt “If Jason and I can fill those roles we’ll be okay."

Alsoretumlngforrnlastyear’s squad will be sophomores Ter­rence Williams, Scott Underhill, and juniors Ray Richards and Joe Schuitema, who was in- juredandunderwentmajarknee surgey last season.

“WeVegot about tenguyswho can play," commented Wichalz, T h e 11th, 12th, and 13th guys are capable to play, but theyVe got a few things to learn.”

New to the team this year are junior college transfer Darryl Gorman, sophomore transfer Pat Shrek, freshmen Randy Bennett Aaron Williams, Ryan Conlan, and redshirt freshmen Tim Basa and Kevin Kooiker.

Matt Hcfkamp, a 6-10 trans­fer firm Michigan State, was supposed to be a big player for the Lakers this year, but he withdrew from school.

“Hewasn’tunhappywlth bas­ketball, he ju st had a hard time concentrating,” commentedVil- lemure on Hofkamp. “I felt we’d really be tough with him. Now somone else has to pick It up.”

Villemure’s squad this year will be traditional defensive style of play that has always been the Laker philosophy.

“I think we’re guard oriented."

remarked Devine. Theguards lead the defense by trapping at haftcourt and that triggers our last break.”

“We’re mostly m an to man," added Bitner, “playing a zone seems to take away from our Intensity."

One of the biggest challenges facing the Lakers this year will be the tougher schedule. The Lakers will face division I oppo­nent Ball State on January 4, the first division I oppopnent since February, 1990.

Also on the slate this year are topflight teams such as Ken­tucky Wesleyan; Assumption College, Southern Illinois- Edwandsville, and a potential NCAA regional final rematch with Ashland University, who knocked off Grand Valley last year.

•Wow-on the eve of the NBA openers, Sacram ento and Golden State dropped abomb on everyone by swapping then-unsigned rookie Billy Owens fo r s ta r M itch Richmond.

On the surface, the trade makes sense-Golden State needs rebounding help and Sacramentoneeds everything, but thejuiy will have to wait a couple seasons to evaluate this one for sure.

As it stands, offending team s get a 5 yard penalty on the kickoff (meaning they kick from the 30 and not the 35 which basically is useless) and the offending player gets an even more useless paltry fine.
