Smith discusses budget concernby Cindy Palma

W ednesday a fte rn o o n , President Thomas Smith held an informal forum in the Cof­feehouse. Financial concerns dominated the session.

Smith began by discussing Lawrence’s financial problems. Many methods such as faculty entrenchment, are being used to balance the budget. Within the next three to four years, Smith estimates the number of faculty will be reduced by ten. Reduc­tions will be made among non­tenured faculty.

He emphasized the importance of tenure. He views it as a statement of “ academic freedom.” Tenure, Smith said, allows a professor to teach without “worrying about political or financial reprisal.” He feels that relieving tenured faculty would harm Lawrence to such an extent that it would take years to recover.

Smith will meet with each department to study the import of departing faculty. Although every department ‘‘will suffer a little,” Smith is confident that certain departments will con­tribute their expertise to others in

order to fill gaps within the curriculum.

Options such as merging the language departments or the sociology and anthropology departments were considered. But Smith feels that although it would simplify the ad­ministrative structure, it would damage the pride and identity of the departments.

Budget cuts will effect the administration as well; ap­

proximately $75,000 worth of positions will be vacated. Smith stated that these cuts mean “we are just going to have to do without certain services.” He hopes that faculty members will be able to move into part-time administrative positions with no additional costs to the University.

He dispelled particular rumors concerning budget-cuts. He denied that the sociology department will be phased out or that the London Center will be closed. To the rumor that WLFM is to be elim inated, Smith responded, “ it is on the back burner.” He mentioned the possibility of reactivating the wireless radio station, restricting the listening audience to the

campus.Smith emphasized that the

planned Main Hall renovation will be funded by gifts from off- campus. Forty per cent of this money has already been collected. Smith claims the

by Pam MarshakJerald Bullis, Assistant

Professor of English, returned to Lawrence this term from his third leave of absence. Mr. Bullis initially came to Lawrence in 1970 and taught here until term II of 1972 when he received a National Endowment for the Arts grant in poetry.

He returned to resume his teaching at Lawrence the following year, and he and his wife became Head Resident, of Plantz. He remained here until 1975, when a poetry reading he had given resulted in the offer of a temporary position as visiting Assistant Professor and Poet-in- Residence at Wake Forest University.

While at Wake Forest, Mr. Bullis was nominated for a Post- Doctoral Fellowship in the Society for the Humanities at Cornell, and consequently spent 1976-77 as a Jr. Post-Doctoral Fellow there. The following summer he received a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board, and was finally able to resume teaching at Lawrence this winter.

Mr. Bullis began his serious poetry writing as a graduate student at Cornell, under the encouragement of A.R. Ammons, who was the Poet-in-Residence at that time. Bullis’ work was first published in 1968

In addition to publishing his work in various periodicals, Bullis presently has four books of

poetry to his credit. He is currently awaiting the release of a long poem entitled Island, which is being published abroad. Although Mr. Bullis primarily writes poetry, he has written several book reviews as well. His successful publications to date have established his professional reputation in the short time- period of ten years.

Mr. Bullis, who has a Ph D in American Literature from Cornell, enjoys teaching as well as writing. His course offerings this term consist of Modern American Poetry and Verse Writing: next term he will teach English 10 and Major American Writers. After this spring, however, Mr Bullis will be returning to New York per­manently. He explained that he has been very happy at Lawrence, and would be pleased to return sometime in the future, on a part-time basis.

English Department Chairman Bertrand Goldgar commented that no definite plans have been made concerning Mr. Bullis’ resignation. He remarked that verse writing will continue to be a part of the English Depart­ment’s curriculum, although it may be taught by a current member of the faculty.

Mr. Goldgar is hopeful that sometime in the future poets will be brought to Lawrence to teach, at least on a part-time basis.

renovation is necessary because 1 oday it s one biq cookieMain Hall is “ the sinele Greatest JMain Hall is “the single greatest loss of energy” as there is no way of controlling the heat. He also believes that the renovation will boost the moral of the students and faculty who use the building.

Smith does not believe that the increase in tuition will harm Lawrence. He noted that the number of applications received is 2Vfe per cent higher than that of last year.

He concluded optim istically noting that Lawrence “is in a strong position” and that he is impressed by the quality and integrity of the faculty and students.

by Lea SittonDespite the vacancy of a

management position, Downer Commons continues to operate without any novel complaints. Students still discuss limp vegetables and dull chili between mouthfuls of ice cream sundaes and chocolate chip cookies.

Many piles of mashed potatoes have come between Downer patrons and Mike Voth since his resignation as Director of Food Service last term but his absence has hardly been noticed. Downer employees have so compensated for the vacancy that students still

find a familiar refuge in the cafeteria.

Contrary to rumors that it might be a victim of budget cuts, the position is to be filled. Ac­cording to Marwin Wrolstad, vice-president of academic af­fairs, it is hoped that a new director will be hired within six weeks. Meanwhile, the director’s duties are being handled by several other employees.

Nevertheless, whatever Spring may bring, Downer will probably remain its comfortable self and salt shakers will still be essential.

Guitarist Fisk in Harper tonight

Russell Sage vandalizedby Marcia Jaffe

Vandals smashed holes into walls at Sage Hall early Tuesday morning. The Physical Plant will estimate the extent of the dam­age later this week.

Customarily, the Appleton Po­lice Department is never called for campus trouble unless the sit­uation is extraordinarily dan­gerous or threatening; however they were called on Tuesday, “probably inappropiately” ac­cording to Dean of Residental Life, Bruce Colwell, in case an immediate report might serve to connect the vandalism to another incident elsewhere in Appleton that night. Police spoke to Sage Hall residents, Robert and Christine Milks, and made a routine report, but were unable to come up with any leads

Colwell pointed out that “simi­lar things like that have not been all that uncommon at I^awrence

over the years,” but Tuesday’s vandalism presents the univer­sity with a dilemma. Colwell hin­ted that since there have been no leads to indicate that outsiders were involved, the inident will probably be treated as an inter­nal one, and the money for repairs will come from Sage House Council funds.

Sage Head Residents have questioned dorm residents closely for information with little success. “ If it ’s internal,” Colwell said, “ I hope we can figure out who did it. If not, the whole dorm gets assessed.”

If, however, Colwell and the Physical Plant had sufficient reason to suspect that the van­dals were outsiders, Lawrence does have “certain damage fun­ds” that could be used to cover the costs.

Classical guitarist Eliot Fisk will present the third concert of the 1977-78 Chamber Music Series Friday, February 3, at 8 p.m. The concert, will be presented in Harper Hall.

Fisk started the guitar when he was seven and began his formal study with William Viola in Philadelphia when he was 12. Within a year he presented his first solo recital.

He was the first guitarist ad­mitted to the Kinhave Music School, where he studied in the summer months for three years. In 1969 Fisk met guitarist Oscar Ghiglia who offered him a full scholarship to study at the Aspen Music Festival, where Ghiglia has taught his summer classes for several years.

Fisk did his formal study at Yale University, graduating from that school in 1976 with summa cum laude honors in music. He returned to Yale last year to head the newly formed guitar department.

In a review of that concert, The New York Times cited Fisk’s “ virtuoso technique and remarkable sensitivity to the music at hand,” and stated that “This listener has heard a good many of them, (new, young classical guitarists), but none in

recent years has been so in-

ELIOT FISK guitarist

teresting and brilliant as Eliot

Fisk.”Andres Segovia, the world’s

premiere classical guitarist, said of Fisk, “He is one of the most outstanding artists of the in­strument, and by ‘Artist’ I mean the result of perfection of technical ability and pure musical expressiveness. I am sure that his name will be soon pronounced with admiration by his whole country.”

Fisk is also an enthusiastic transcriber of repertoire for the guitar. Two of the selections that Fisk will play in his Chamber Music Series concert are his own

transcriptions: Six Sonatas, K. 33, 159, 209, 238, 239, and 318, by Domenico Scarlatti; and J.S. Bach’s Sonata in C Major, BWV 1005.

Other works that he has suc­cessfully arranged are the complete unaccompanied violin and cello repertoire of J.S. Bach, Mozart Divertimenti, late Liszt piano pieces and Paganini Caprices.

Fisk’s Appleton concert also will include Mario Castelnvova Tedesco’s Capriccio Diaboloico, “Omaggio A Paganini,” Opus 85, and 12 etudes by Heitor Villa- Lobos.

Tropos returnsA number of things have disappeared from the Lawrence

campus in past years. Among the missing are weekly maid service and termly steaks, tough and flavorless as they may have been. These, however, are small, costly pleasures and can easily be lived without.

One pleasure in danger of extinction which would not be easy to live without is Tropos. Music and art students have an outlet for their creative energies in the Conservatory and Art Center. The budding writer at Lawrence has only Tropos.

The magazine has been coming out once a year in the spring. There was a time when enough interest was displayed to publish Tropos every term. Incoming freshmen in 1974-75 were offered a 3-issue subscription for $1.50.

Somehow, only two issues materialized that year but the content was enough to appease anyone concerned about quantity rather than quality. The next year only one Tropos appeared. Last year the literary magazine was revived early in the third term by three or four interested students.

This year, suffering from severe budget reductions, Tropos may go the way of prime beef cuts and clean rooms. But there is still hope. Several people have already expressed an interest in keeping the Tropos tradition alive for another year. They are already soliciting contributions, both literary and technical.

The Lawrentian apologizes to those people who have submitted short stories and longer poems to the paper for publication. We are limited in terms of space and type of writing. We hope you will submit your work to Dan Pan- nebaker or Pete Lane for this year’s Tropos.

Ridiculous Theater tonight

Frats defendedTo the Editors,

In last week’s Lawrentian a letter by Mike Remillard ap­peared in which he condemned certain fraternities and their pledging activities. While I cannot speak for the other frats on campus, I do feel the Phi Delts have been unfairly castigated.

Yes, the Phis have a traditional Pledge Drunk after which the pledges usually “ toss their cookies” . However, the pledges are always informed beforehand about the exact nature of it, and the whole affair is carried on in the Phi Delt spirit of rowdiness and fun. The pledges all had a good time, and the actives were careful not to let them drink so much that they could damage their health. We led them back to their rooms and tucked them in bed. All of our pledges felt well enough to attend a semi-formal reception and dance later that evening.

As far as the “three-day stench of dried vomit” in Plantz is concerned, we offer neither excuse nor apology. The pledge involved did his best to clean up, and he assured me that Mr. R em illard ’s description was

grossly exaggerated. I might add that this temporary in­convenience seems minor when compared to the year-round stench of pot and body odor some of the men are subjected to in the dorms.

Furthermore, there is no “social pressure put on them to overindulge” ; none is necessary. The type of man that pledges Phi Delt does so because of our “ass- kicking” reputation, not despite it. We feel we are saving these men from the vegetating college life favored by the “mellows” ; nothing but books, bongs, and Joni Mitchell. If “ overin­dulgence” means beer, women, and rock—having a good time while maintaining as high a G.P.A. as the “mellows” , we’re all for it.

The fraternities offer a positive alternative to dorm life and do a lot of good for the Lawrence community. Yet they are con- sistenUy stabbed in the back by individuals who publicize only their isolated and minor faults. These same hypocrites never fail to show up at our Saturday night parties and drink our beer for free!

Sincerely,CLIFF VICKREY

Phi Delt, ’80

In DefenseTo the Editor:

Last week Michael Remillard wrote a letter protesting the harmful effects of peer pressure exerted on a number of freshman pledges by the older members of their respective fraternities. He also deplored the actions of a fraternity which hired a nude dancer to perforpi a show at the fraternity house. I do not condone these actions either, and I agree that they are not in accordance with the spirit and concepts underlying fraternal existence. But I object to Mr. Remillard’s use of these incidents to discredit the Greek system and his attempt to make the Quad bar the brunt of his accusations because of the actions of a few careless in­dividuals.

I have witnessed “ social pressures exerted by and on members of the Lawrence community who were in no way associated with Greek organ­izations. For that matter, peer pressure is certainly not confined to fraternities or college. I find no reason for fraternity members to be singled out of the large number of people that drink and indulge in “ dangerous excesses.” Fur­thermore, I know of no fraternity member who would not stick by his brother in trying or dangerous circumstances.

Next, what was the purpose of correlating the freshman student’s vomiting (I assume this was caused by drunkenness) with fraternity rush? Living in a residence hall last year, I found that drunkenness and vomiting were hardly confined to frater­nity members or necessarily induced by fraternity activities.

Concerning the nude dancer, I personally did not find the the concept tasteful, but if the people present were consenting adults and fraternity members did not force them to watch the show, I cannot find anything grossly wrong with the incident. And since when has the Appleton community been so terribly in­terested in what goes on in Lawrence living quarters?

I would like to ask that Mr. Remillard confine his argument to concrete attitudes of the Lawrence community and specific comments made by its members--not hypothetical and imaginary “petitions” , “polls” , and “excuses.”

I am glad that Mr. Remillard is concerned with the welfare of students at Lawrence-especially freshmen, who are susceptible to the harmful effects of an in­stitution or environment with which they are not familiar. But to single out fraternities as sources of detrimental social pressure is careless and irresponsible. If we are. as a community, to be concerned with the welfare of students and the quality of student life, let us keep an open mind to all sources ot adverse social pressure and problems in student leadership. We should likewise keep an open mind in considering sources of positive influence on students. The concepts of fraternity foster a healthy social and academic environment and do not en­courage the disrespect for student welfare that Mr. Remillard seems to believe.

LU World in FestivalTo the Editor:

It’s a funny thing. A festival is held and the blizzard is forgotten; we carve the ice, cross the white country on waxed skis, play broom-ball to cheers and tunes when the Celcius dial points to zero. Plenty of laughs and plenty of good hot chocolate or creamed coffee, perhaps a tip from the all too hideable flask. No problems.

Charles Ludlam’s Ridiculous Theatrical Company, one of the most popular off-off-Broadway theatre companies in New York, will present three performances of Ludlam’s “The Ventriloquist’s Wife,” Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 2, 3 and 4, in the Cloak Theatre. Admission to the play, which is intended for mature audiences, is free and open to the public.

The Theatre of the Ridiculous was founded about ten years ago by Ludlam and Ronald Tavel, a com temporary of Andy Warhol. In that time it has established itself as one of the most distinc­tive off-Broadway theatre companies in New York.

We are happy. One big happy community. Our goals being at least always centrally directed, we shall of course one day prevail and win, and be more than successful. Where the last Buddah and Ceasar and Christ have failed, we allow our skep­ticism to flow when it concerns a Carter or even a Nixon, where we are told it should flow, and down here on earth (or at least away from Washington) we stay happy and close, cheerful, carving our ice, crossing our ski paths, winking at the local CBS newsman and his portable cameras.

Why not? Festivals are highly laudable and very receptive to compliment—comments which are all positive and all of one kind—though you might find one or two examples of “that sort of person” who might choose to make an uncalled for remark if they saw, for instance, twenty or so of “our best college-trained minds” (as the commercial goes) down on the floor cutting huge fake snowflakes out of someone’s colored cardboard paper. I ’ve heard it said that when you’re for instance, in a shoe store spending money, or anywhere spending money, the atmosphere of happiness, cordiality, and all that is just a put on. I never believed any such nonsense, have you?

See what I mean? Who wants to come down on fun? If the world is a frightful mess, all the more reason to HAVE A FESTIVAL and thereby commemorate life! That only follows. I myself was saying this same thing, just yesterday, to you-know-who . . . the bushy-haired complainer- troublemaker . . .

He was upset because none of the rest of us were upset over the lies about that hundred pound uranium reactor burning up over Canada in the same weather mass which went on to become part of the big weather dis­turbance over the Great Lakes for the next half-week or more. He was going on and on about background radiation and something about carcinogenic . . . Oh - I don’t remember all of it. You-Know-Who is more than overly complex.

Anyhow—I told him to come to the Snowflake festival. I mean— SNOW m an !—clean white crystals right out of the sky! Ice carving, cross country, snowballing, SLIDING down BIG HILLS! Forget that other stuff. Celebrate the beauty of nature and the ability of humans! Forget about all this depressing junk and enjoy - enjoy! Well, of course he didn’t listen.

His next discouraging, unlistenable topic had something to do with one of the school’s more distinguished (or more published?) English teachers saying that he didn’t give a damn about nuclear powered satellites falling back to the earth (graphite!), and that things like fiction and politics must be kept separate at all costs, else en­tertainment, and “art” be runied forever. What we don’t need at this school is politicization, what we need is more caring about the

The company produces original plays, including many which have been written by Ludlam. His works are frequently based on fantasies taken from popular, contemporary cultural myths! The plays, including “ The Ventriloquist’s W ife,” depend heavily on outrageous puns, play on words, and other uses of the language to provide the humor.

A two-person cast, Ludlam and Black-eyed Susan, will be featured in the Appleton per­formances of “ The Ven­triloquist’s Wife.” Ludlam’s play is new, and only will have been staged in New York and Pitt­sburgh prior to its Appleton performances.

Thanks, folksDear Editor,

Thanks to the diligent work of countless students, this years Winter Carnival was a tremendous success. Of course there were many people behind the scenes that made this success a reality. To mention them all would take a special edition of the Lawrentian (yes, there were that many people involved). But, we would like to thank the more important participants (or at least the ones we can remem­ber). First off, a special thanks to Tom Lonnquist and the Campus Life Staff. Without his help, Winter Carnival never would have left the planning stage.

Also thanks to: Athletes Foot, Beggars-Tune, Berggren’s Ski and Sport, Charles the Florist, W.A. Close, Ponds Sport Shop, Sammy’s Pizza, all the children who entered their art work, Downer Commons, SEC, Panhel, Public Relations Office, Central Services, Circle K—Rachel Nadel, Marge Van Roy and the grill staff, Charles Breuing, Hugo Martines, William Perreault, Sumner Richman, Allen West, Explorers Club, Trever Hall, Liz Hersh, Phi Delta Theta, Colman Hall, Plant Club, Sage Hall, Mike Ladevich, Delta Tau Delta, Ormsby Hall, Phi Gamma Delta, EC-2 and Evensong Singers, Co-op, Plantz Hall, International Club.

Again, we thank everyone for their help with Snowflake Fan­tasy.

I was surprised that your ar­ticle on alleged and confirmed gays in history failed to include Leonardo Da Vince.

He was not only a member of that particular group, but he also represented (quite well I might add) the most universally op­pressed minority in history; that is we left handed people.

Storey received his un­dergraduate degree in industrial management and computer

science from Purdue. He worked for Shell Oil a year before deciding his heart lay elsewhere.

classical and flamenco guitar.While performing. Storey

developed an interest in music theory and the history of music. He returned to school to take guitar lessons and study theory. Eventually, he gained a B.A. and M.A. in performance of classical

guitar.He is interested in teaching

guitar partly because of a disenchantment with the per­forming circuit. He feels talent is not necessarily a requirement for success, especially in the field of popular music. Unlike classical music, recognition is based on charisma or inside connections.

Storey believes “music is a personal thing;” he is not in­terested in “turning out fifteen Andres Segovias a year.” He does not view his job as inspiring students to play what he con­siders worthwhile. Rather, he thinks the guitarist’s goal should be personal enjoyment.

Storey will perform in Harper Hall on April 18 at 8 p.m. He will be playing classical music and, possibly, a couple of folk num­bers.

One-act to open at Cloakby Philip Polk

The Lawrence University Theatre Department will present the play “Dear Janet Rosenberg, Dear Mr. Kooning,” by Stanley Eveling on February 13 and 14 at 8 p.m. in the Theodore F. Cloak Experimental Theatre. The play will be directed by Wendy Watson ’78, assisted by Bertha Hinojosa ’78.

There are two characters in the play, portrayed by Mary Jo Howarth ’78 and Paul Schmitt. Schmitt is a graduate of Holy Cross College who has been involved in several productions of Appleton’s Attic Theatre.

The playwright, Stanley Eveling, is an author and professor of moral philosophy at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He has written six plays, all of which contain social

commentary and elements of farce and absurdity.

Commenting on the play, Watson said it is concerned with such things as “powers of social games” and the “control one person has over another, both verbal and psychological.” “The language is almost ly rica l,”

MARY JO HOWARTH and PaulSchmitt rehearse.

Watson remarked. She compared it to the works of Beckett and Stoppard in its use of language and its surrealistic, absurd tone.

Watson said the play is “in­triguing” and “requires thought on the audience’s part. It’s a very intelligent play and quite unlike other plays produced at Lawrence.”

Tickets for the production are free and will be available at the Lawrence University box office beginning February 3.

Where have all the armadillos gone?by Martha Wendalton

RowbottomThe desert air was still as the

old man sat in rheumy-eyed contemplation. “ali-Ak Basim? .. . . Ali-Ak . . . now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time . . . a long time.”

“Then you know him?” asked the young man seated near him.

“Of course I know him. He’s M E !”

“Then this bottle of Cadavracol belongs to YOU! I ’ve been looking all over the galaxy foryou.”

“Well, I don’t remember ever owning any Cadavracol . . . But let me see it.” He twisted open the battered bottle of frothing liquid and took as deep a breath as he dared. The swirling mists that arose from the slimy ef­fervescence enveloped them both in a pernicious cloud of multiphasic, transubstantive stench.

Ali-Ak Basim inhaled calmly, savoring the unexpected pleasure of feeling his living lung tissue becoming embalmed. His young counterpart gasped and choked. Inner peace of that sort held little fascination for him. He felt as if he were dying. He WAS dying. He was . . . suddenly there came the sound of feet running across the sand.

Flat feet. Five pair of flat feet. And then he heard singing. It grew louder—it split into three - then four—then five part har­mony. He felt as if he had a barbershop quintet inside his head, trying to shave its way out. Fighting for consciousness, trying to retain some personal sanctimony, he called out for aid.

“Ali-Ak!” he cried, “Help! Help me!”

“Trust your feelings. Plug your nose. Hold your ears. Shut your mouth,” Ali-Ak Basim replied sagely. “ It will get worse before it gets better.”

Ali-Ak Basim was true to his word. It got worse. Perforating the putrid, perfidious profundity came Pope Pontius Page V4 , weilding his incense burner like a Boy Scout practicing semaphore.

“ Ecce Thunnus! In Hoc Telephonio Vinces!” he cried as his incendiary vessel belched forth acrid clouds of carbon monoxide. Ali-Ak Basim raised his aged hands.

“Stop schnuttering in Latin, your Holiness. I ’ve brought

them.” His eminence was his usual razor-sharp self.

“Brought who?” he enquired.“The Six who are as Five. The

Nine who are one-hundred ninety two. The One who is all, and the All who are none.” Pope Pontius Page looked perplexed. Nonetheless he managed to ask the one question which penetrated to the heart of his dilemma.

“ Huh?” he stammered, struggling to avoid delivering knockout blows to the nearby melody boys with his deadly incense burner.

“Be careful with that thing!” Ali-Ak’s young cohort cried, awakening out of his stupor only to find the pungent projectile whizzing just inches away from his nostrils. Ali-Ak Basim and his five flatfoot melody boys drew back, half in fear and half in disgust. And suddenly, inex­plicably, they found themselves floating high above Kaukauna.

“Hey! What happened?” cried the young man.

“ What happened?” belched Pope Pontius Page V4 .

“What happened” intoned the melody boys in perfect harmony despite their confusion.

“ I believe we are about to experience that most existential of phenomena, the free-fall into what appears, from this altitude, to be a rather large deposit of bovine fecal matter.”

“You don’t mean . . .” gasped Ali-Ak’s young accomplice.

“You don’t mean . . .” burbled His Holiness, piching his nostrils.

“You don’t mean . . . ” sang the melody boys, striking a minor chord.

“Yes, I am afraid so,” replied Ali-Ak Basim gravely. “Cow dung.”

They were keenly aware that the Kaukauna Manure Works was now rushing toward them with greater and greater velocity, and that it was in fact about to strike them with s o l ip s is t ic , c a ta c ly s m ic , odoriferous force.

Then it was over. The Five flatfoot Melody Boys, Ali-Ak Basim, the young lad, and the thoroughly confused Pope Pontius Page Vt were afloat in a sea of organic material, trying to maintain their bouyancy.

“Why did this have to hap­pen?” asked the youngster. “What will my aunt and uncle say when I get home?”

T n v ia

“Why did it happen? Because it was meant to happen,” replied Ali-Ak Basim. “ Some force stronger than ourselves has caused us to be brought together in this fashion. WE must discover what we are meant to do.”

They debated, discussed, digressed, and declaimed amid the defecation for minutes that seemed like hours. Finally a consensus was reached.

“The time has come to unveil our true identities and purpose,” bellowed the Five flatfoot melody boys. “Trivia!”

“Trivia?” whispered the youth.“Trivia? Non ego sum stultus .

. .” ’ said His Eminence.“Yes, your Holiness, I am

afraid you are . . . and I am afraid that Trivia must be,” declared Ali-Ak.

“Must be what?” asked the Pope, incisively.

“Must be. It is, therefore it must have been, and will be, ever in our image, at least for this year,” answered Basim.

Ali-Ak Basim, with these historic words, called together the first Meeting of the Masters, amid the flagrant fragrance of the Kaukauna Manure Works. And just who are these paragons of perplexity?

Heading up the rear at the top of page two and a half is Norbert Q. Plotz, part-time otolaryn- tologist and currently employed as a telephone pole in Darboy. Plotz represents the epitome of noveau-drecch thought in Western Theology. Engaged for a return bout with the Trivia Strain (also catalogued as the Hor- tonville Flu) is well-known neo­existentialist and jacks player Philosopher (Phil) Stone, the county’s foremost authority on the geology of common hand soaps.

TRIVIA Code

1. The Trivia Credo: Trivia is meant to be entertainment and should be per­ceived solely in that light. Conduct contrary to this governing Credo will be regarded as an infraction of the rules.

2. Decisions made by the Trivia Masters, the Station Manager or Station Engineer are FINAL.

3. When a team calls to answer a question, they will be allowed two chances to give the correct answer.

4. Cheating is forbidden. Any team caught cheating will be penalized by zeroing its point total. Cheating is defined as:

a) interfering with the ability of another team or individual to participate in the contest;

b) utilizing facilities not normally available for use at the expense of other con­testants;

c) obtaining answers from anyone on the WLFM or Trivia staffs-d) competing in the contest under more than one team name;e) violation of the Telephone By-laws;f) prostitution of the Trivia Credo.

TELEPHONE BY-LAWS

1. No partial credit will be given for multiple-part answers.2. Absolutely no cross phone-dialing will be tolerated. Teams will be assigned to

either the on-campus or off-campus categories; no team can use WLFM phone numbers available to teams of the opposite category.

3. Blocking the phone lines by any method will regarded as cheating- the contest will stop until the problem is cleared. 8 contest

Most important of these rules is the Trivia Credo; it states that Trivia is all for fun. Because Trivia is merely entertainment, cheating will be dealt with severely since nothing can be lost (save sleep) by Trivia players. So beware, because St. Tuchùlus is ready with his tree sap.

of subway travel in cities north of Hoboken. Trivia 78’s Driector of Public Debations is the well known Rabbi M ikial S. Sigmandevich, whose renowned chain of franchised synagogues are suspected by Campus Police of operating an underwater laetrile smuggling ring. Iwhore Y a lu b lu d iv c h y a t ! (which translates into “I have eels in my underwear” ) has joined Trivia as the only alternative to Chemistry 67 or work at the Physical Plant. At a recent political convention, Iwhore was quoted as saying, “Unibus time-out fatal trap at line 360. Program lost—Sorry.”

Adding an international flavor to Trivia ’78 will be Milo (The Killer) Weed, private in ­vestigator from Cleveland, Ohio and partly full-time hack jour­nalist. Asked to comment on the proliclivity of computer soft­ware, Weed replied, “I don’t know, but then again I don’t really know her that well,” That aside, Vyenta Olyblatz (also known as the Albanian Midget) arrived this year only to find a rather severe shortage of bedroom facilities in the Ap­pleton area. No need to worry, though; Ms. Olyblatz has taken

up residence inside a variable capacitor in the WLFM tran smitter, where she plans to remain until a cure for apathy can be found.

Finally, Carlton W. Dork- welder, prize winning door-to- door Geritol salesperson for the twentieth year in a row, has assured us that Trivia ’78 is, as we all suspected, “100 percent organic, nothing artificial ad­ded.” As a result, the WLFM studios have received, courtesy of Dorkwelder, a letter of con­demnation from Good Slumkeeping Magazine, which he also sells door-to-door.

As a group, Ali-Ak Basim and his five flatfoot melody boys are a relatively diverse group; their only common interest is a sur prisingly insatiable desire to stomp on cockroaches (Rabbi, with those pointed shoes of his, is especially tough in the corners). They assure all interested parties that “Trivia ’78 will be the best Trivia contest that Lawrence has had since 1977.”

T R IV I A j u n t a c a p s iz e s W L F Mby Deborah Davidson

What is the license plate number on the Batmobile?

When confronted by such a question you might normally say, “Who cares?” But this weekend you will care—because it’s Trivia weekend.

That’s right, at 10 p.m. tonight WLFM kicks off the proverbial Trivial football for the thirteenth time. For the next fifty hours people will be racking their trivial brains to answer the 400- odd questions that will be asked.

According to this year’s Grand Trivia Master Norbert Q. Plotz, “You don’t need to know Trivia to play Trivia. Non-Trivial people can still have a good time—Trivia is designed for everyone.” He does have some advice however, for those teams interested in capturing this year’s first prize.

“Numbers is the important thing” , says Plotz. If the team doesn’t have at least 30 people playing all 50 hours, the chances of winning are very slim. This is particularly true during the critical period.”

The critical period, as Plotz explains, is the time between 3 a.m. and 8 a.m. Sunday morning. During that time most teams tend to fade out. Those that don’t can get ahead by as much as 100 points.

“Anyone can make it through the first night, and the daylight will keep them awake through Saturday.” But if the team doesn’t have any fresh players on Saturday night, “ their numbers will dwindle fast” . To avoid this, it may be necessary to send people to bed Friday night.

“Card games and a com­fortable setting are also a big help” , Plotz adds. It goes without saying that hundreds of reference

books are a necessity for any team.

Although the contest is popular, the funds to finance it are limited. The contest, which has a potential listening audience of 500,000 people, costs about $1000 to run. The major source of funds is the WLFM Equipment Repair Fund. However, according to a Trivia Master, it has become necessary to seek outside sources “in order to maintain a quality contest.” This year the Com­mittee on Committees gave $50 to finance an additional phone line, which brings the total to nine. The Public Occasions Com­mittee donated $100 to cover the cost of publicity.

The contest has been attracting more teams every year. Last year about 300 teams competed; about 200 of these teams were from off-campus. The Trivia Masters believe that this en­thusiastic community response to the contest is an important way to “enhance community relations” . “ Indeed, Trivia represents the most significant contact LU has with the Appleton community, with the possible exception of Celebrate.”

Although many teams play to win, Plotz stresses that the goal of the contest is entertainment. To this end, the Trivia Masters poke fun at a lot of people, in­cluding themselves. According to Plotz, the Masters “don’t intend to offend anyone, even though it invariably happens.”

Plotz has a last exhortation for all Lawrentians. “Come on youse guys, don’t worry about that Chaney mid-term. Chaney gives mid-terms 3 times a year and Trivia comes but once a year.”

By the way. The license plate number on the Batmobile is 2F3567.

A few notes on this years trivia contestby Ali-ak Basim

and his Five Flatfoot Melody Boys

Back once again giving trivia players spiritual advice will be be Saint Tuchulus, the Jewish Patron Saint of Christmas. After receiving a Federal Research Grant to study the rubidium content of Iowa topsoil aboard the U.S.S. Idi Amin, Saint Tuchulus has returned to inform all of this year’s trivia phone numbers: 602 on campus and 731-1324 off campus. Please don’t call the switchboard, or Saint Tuchulus will fill your ears with treesao.

Since space in the Seeley G. Mudd Memorial Quanset Hut is lim ited, the Larry Page Memorial Toll Booth has been installed at the entrance to the WLFM studios (proceeds go to the Emerson E. Brightman “Help my son graduate frdm college one of these days” En­dowment Fund) to help control

the typically cattle-like traffic flows. Phone answerers and runners are always welcome but again no marathoning will be allowed (unless you want to do Larry’s laundry).

Because last year’s t-shirts went faster than Larry was able to collect and count money, this year’s t-shirts will be sold only to those people who buy them. At $3.50, they bear a color com­bination symbolic of Larry’s wardrobe and Downer salad bar. WLFM reserves the right to refuse t-shirt sales to anyone who accuses Larry of wearing a toupee.

Giving the long- lasting protestion previously found only with carbon tetrachloride and liquid benzene, Caduvracol is available at hardware stores and army-navy surplus outlets throughout the country. Caduvracol is manufactured by Destench, a subsidiary of Stan Cola, Unin­corporated, Blenker, Wisconsin. Use only in a well ventilated area please.Please note: several items could be very handy to all teams planning to play trivia this year. Such a list would be virtually endless, but some of the more important items would include: one or more working telephones, a radio (preferably with FM and, even more preferably, without AM), a tape recorder, half the Brazilian coffee crop, mattri, munchies, cards, games, and the last didget of pi.

Of psychological help might be: a 98” x 82” full color portrait of Larry Page, a toilet (please don’t confuse the two), Glade, Right-Guard, Visine, noL.U. text books, Lysol, Kaopectate, Preparation H, hot water bottles, and make-up remover. Total recall of all 79 Star Trek episodes is also recommended, although that doesn’t mean that we’re going to ask any questions about them.

Ah, yes. Speaking of questions. In previous years, questions have been notoriously tougher than Downer Swiss Steak. This year, the Trivia masters have gone one step further. That’s right—you guessed it. This year’s questions will be tougher than Downer Broccoli.

In the words of the Perfect and most Perforated Pope Pontius Page, “Good luck, yoose guys.” And have lots of of fun.

OUR EARTHYesterday somebody said to

RJDD. our ecological friend, “All this talk about ecology and en­vironmental consciousness— what is anybody doing about it?” Once again RJDD didn’t have to look much farther than the campus to find an example. He found a good example of a house built with solar energy in mind. Professor of Physics David Cook talked with me about how he worked together with architect and contractor to build a house with the idea of being partially solar heated.

The outstanding facet of the design is the shape of the house. One side of the roof is pitched at a 60 degree angle. It faces just West of South. Cook estimates that with the addition of a garage roof pitched at the same angle, he can get nearly 1000 square feet of space for panels. On this area he would either mount pre­fabricated solar panels or con­struct his own on the spot.

The panels would be of the type that conduct air. This type of panel consists of metal tubes colored flat black for absorbtion, under a double thermal pane of glass. The sun radiating through the thermal pane would heat up the air in the tubes. Then the air would be moved either by con­vection or a blower to a heat source in the basement.

In the basement he installed an electric furnace. Most electric furnaces take in air from some outside source. If this air is preheated by the solar panels, then less energy is expended by the furnace. This method provides an easy way of augmenting the furnace with solar heat without using specialized equipment.

What about storage? Cook has decided to wait on installing the panels for two reasons. First is finances; chances are solar equipment will decrease in market price. Second, he would like to wait for better technology in storage systems. Right now he would run the heated air over rocks. After the panels cooled down the furnace could draw heated air from the storage area. But in the meanwhile, scientists are experimenting with more efficient storage systems and materials.

Cook has also designed the house so part of it can be shut off from the rest and heated separately. The electric furnace ducts not wanted can be closed at the source. This smaller area includes the kitchen, dining room and den. The family could easily live in this area during extreme cold. There is also a wood stove in the kitchen that would serve as a back-up.

Naturally the house itself was built with good insulation. The walls have an efficiency rating of R-13 and the ceiling from R-25 to R-30.

Cook’s point of view is that solar technology is only getting better and cheaper. He feels that at a certain point it will become economically feasible to use solar energy. In the summer the solar panels could be used to heat both wash and bath water.

“Not a bad idea, that 60 degree roof, RJDD said. “He might just have a point there. After all, a 26 billion dollar trade defidit caused mainly by imported oil is nothing to laugh about. If the American way is independence, then energy is the place to start.”

Eleven girls’ teams and eleven boys’ teams entered the famed ice arena known as Ormsby Stadium last Saturday. The Thetas and the Phi Delts emerged as the big winners when it was all over.

The most exciting girls preliminary action featured the D.G.’s and Plantz Hall. The game was very physical (in the D.G. tradition) as the girls slapped and bumped each other around for ten minutes without a score. Finally, Plantz managed a score by jamming the ball through the stingy legs of the D.G. goalie. The final score was 1-0.

Preliminary action also saw the Phi Delts take on Trever in a grudge match. The game was ultra-intense and many bodies were sent hurling to the ice. A fight finally broke out that cleared both benches . .. When the snowdust had cleared, the Phi Delts had won the fight and the game, 1-0.

Girls semi-final action pitted high-scoring Ormsby vs. Plantz. The game was scoreless for regulation play, and four penalty shots for each team in overtime could not determine a winner. Plantz won the coin flip to advance, while a disbelieving Ormsby squad could only mutter, “Shoot.”

Brokaw met the Phi Taus in other semi-final action. As the saying goes, the Phi Tuas pulled it out of their . . . in the last seconds. The game was decided in overtime. After Brokaw took a 2-0 lead in penalty shots, the Phi Tuas managed two goals in their last two shots to know the score. Another coin flip and . . . The Phi Taus had advanced. (By the way, due to limited time slots for each game, all contests which could not be decided in regulation or overtime periods were decided by a coin toss).

The girls, finals had Raymond House against the Thetas. Both teams had coasted through most of their tourney games with minimal effort. For the first ten minutes, there was not one shot on goal as both teams played intimidating defense. Regulation time ended, and overtime ended, and still no one could score. A one-for-one penalty shot elimination ensued. For the first ten penalty shots no one could split the legs, er . . . rather the goalposts. Finally, a Theta put a head fake on the exhausted Raymond House goalie who fell down too late to stop that volley ball from going in.

The guys final pitted the awesome Phi Delt Machine featuring the TAG line (Three Goals a Game) of “Nifty Pet,” “Slimin’ Simon,” and “Outlaw” against the low-scoring and rugged Delts. “Yiannos” Lien, “Mongoose” Vickrey, "Gates” Perlstein, and “Yohan” Hartup (all Phis) began hitting each other in anticipation of the contest when the Delts were late for the game. They waited and waited and still no Delts. Finally, the Delts sent a representative convoy to explain that they couldn’t play because of some trivial engagement (a Pledge Formal or something like that). Anyway, the frustrated Phi Delts headed home while banging each other with the quarter barrel they had won.

Tune in next week for further BROOMBALL NEWS.

At OUR USUAL PR IC e S

by Mike FogelFor those who did not make it

out to Alexander Gym for the R o o s e v e lt U .- L a w re n c e basketball game, do not fret; the current ice age forced a post­ponement of that game to the 23rd of February. To all of us who were anticipating some more exciting sport that ended in disappointment, the game against Ripon Saturday night provided for plenty of ex­citement. At the same time, the game provided for more disappointment, for the Vikings lost another closely fought battle 68-66.

The final score was indicative of many games the Vikes have played this year. The difference between an 11-4 record and the current 6-9 record is a total of thirteen points; five games have been decided by less than three points. This fact causes many sleepless nights for both coaches and players alike. One begins to ask themselves why me or why this team, especially in light of the quality of play. In the coaches handbook, if one exists, certain aspects of the game, such as shooting percentage, rebounds, turn overs and defense, are

determinants of who will be the victor. Usually, a team can ex­pect to come out a winner if it dominates these areas. Well, throw out that handbook for the Vikes hit 43 percent of their shots to Ripon’s 40 percent. The Vikes also out-rebounded Ripon 28-25 and held Ripon’s top scorer, Ludd Wurtz, to sixteen points, well below his average. Earlier in the week, Viking coach, Bob Kastner told players that if the team were to out-rebound Ripon and hold Wurta to eighteen points, they would come out winners. After observing the relevant facts listed above, coach Kastner responded, “Players might start calling me a liar.”

Kastner had to be pleased with the performance of many in­dividuals. Dave Klaeser, a newcomer to the starting lineup, was the man responsible for putting “the clamps” on Wurtz’s offensive prowess. Pete Hach- meister and Rob Cohen did ex­ceptionally well on the boards, collecting twelve and ten respectively. Cohen also added thirteen points to his game, upon which Kastner commented, “This was the most inspirational

game Rob has played all year.” One must add to these stellar performances Kelly Taylor’s game high twenty-one points._ All of this could now be looked

upon in a more settling light if it was not for one shot with two seconds left in the game. The game had been nip and tuck all the way from the start. Neither team led at any one point during the game by more than five points. The lead changed from team to team several times. With 50 seconds left in the game, the score was tied and Ripon had the ball. They held the ball until twelve seconds showed on the clock at which time they called time out to develop a scoring play. A minute later, the ball was inbounded and soon passed to Dalman of Ripon who dribbled to the free throw line, shot and “twinkled the twines” with two seconds left on the clock. The Vikings called time out to set up a last second shot, which did not work when play resumed. Although the disappointment of losing mounts with each close game, Pete Hachmeister was able to enjoy the Delt pledge formal that followed im ­mediately after the game.

LU Pucksters lose to Marquette 5-2by Boom Boom Berkowitz

The Lawrence hockey team traveled to Milwaukee last Friday night to play a conference game against Marquette University. Reports had been made that Marquette would be going to go into big-time hockey in the near future, and Lawrence arrived in Milwaukee to find that Marquette had already played over fifteen games which in­cluded some large universities.

The game started with a confident Marquette team feeling that they had the game wrapped up. Much to their surprise, John Laing shot one past the shakey Marquette goalie. It was a power play goal and was assisted by the aggressive room-mates, Kurt

Wittenburg and Tim O’Brien. Marquette quickly responded and added a goal of their own. They gathered some momentum and

took advantage of several Lawrence penalties while scoring two power play goals.

The Marquette team dominated most of the game, but Lawrence kept in stride with them. Lawrence was within striking range the whole game was not able to mount a suc­cessful offensive attack. This lack of offensive punch has been the downfall of Lawrence in both of their losses. In the second period, Jeff Skoog scored a goal for Lawrence to make the score 4- 2.

In the third period Marquette

Swimming win streak shatteredby John Fease

The Viking tank team lost a close contest to Carleton last Friday in Northfield Minnesota. Carleton, who was third in the Midwest Conference last year, won the final two swimming events to defeat the Vikes 64-49.

The young Viking team put up a tough fight and many of the swimmers turned in outstanding performances. Record breaking performances were turned in by Mike O ’Connell and John Chambers. Chambers, a fresh­man from Iowa City, once again broke his varsity 1000 yard freestyle record and his fresh­man 500 yard freestyle record. O’Connell, also a freshman from Oak Park, Illinois shattered swimming star Paul Morrison’s backstroke record for a new

freshman and varsity mark.Backing up these freshman

pacesetters were the usual line of standouts, Edwards, E rk illa , Acker, Loveland, Myers and Krolow. Myers, who sub­stantially lowered his 50 free time, is keying on the Conference championships, and with con­tinued improvement, could be a good bet for a strong showing there. Mark Krolow, continuing to swim with severe shoulder aliments, anchored the 400 medley relay made up of O’Connell, Loveland, and Erkilla, which set a team best time.

The Vikes will attempt to recapture their winning ways on Saturday when they travel to Beloit. The team’s next home meet will be Wednesday against the University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh.

started to get their attack together and most of the period was played in the Lawrence end. Marquette scored one more on the steady Scott Blood, who kicked out forty shots by Marquette as opposed to the sixteen shots taken by Lawrence. John Laing played a very aggressive game and scored another goal for his efforts. Tim O’Brien assisted on that tally.

Lawrence did not have the services of their captain Amos ( “ Red” ) Minor, as he was recovering from a touch of the flu. The Romantic and Renowned Lover, Gregg Leslie, was reported to have had a rough week and also could not make the contest.

Women whip Ripon Corbeil stars

The Women’s Basketball team had a tough break Tuesday, January 24th, when they lost to Marian College 71-41.

High scorers in this game were Linda Meyer and Vicki Corbeil with 12 points apiece.

The Vikes went back into action Saturday, and the outcome of this game was much more favorable. The Vikes defeated Edgewood College 46-30. High scorers were Corbeil, with 15, Meyer with 10, Pam Skinner with 6, and Coralee Ferk with 5. Excellent Vike defense resulted in 22 turnovers by Edgewood. Defensive players of the game were Pam “too tall” Skinner, who had three blocked shots, and Amy Bell who played excellent defense and shut out Edgewood’s best scorer.

By far the best game of the season was played Monday, against Ripon. The Vikes were outstanding both offensively and defensively. Vicki “Trix” Corbeil set a new Lawrence record by scoring 30 points. Coralee Ferk also had a spectacular game with 20 points. Linda Meyer and Marian Magee both scored 4, Amy Bell scored 1, and Dort Kreher also scored 1. (Want to try for 2 next time Dort?) The final score was Lawrence 60, Ripon 35. Corbeil and Ferk lead the team in rebounding with 17 and 7 respectively. Defensive players of the game were Corbeil and Ferk who both were able to steal the

ball 6 times. (Come on you guys, give someone else a chance!) This was the first time the Women’s team has ever beaten Ripon, and when asked about his feelings on the game, Coach Gallus replied, “On behalf of the whole team, it was SW EET !!!”
