Two 747 jetliners collide in Canary IslandsSANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE,

Canary Islands (AP) - Two gian t je tliners collided and burned on a foggy runw ay yesterday on this Spanish island and airport orricials feared at least 514 persons w ere killed. This would m ake it the g r e a te s t tr a g e d y in av ia tio n history.

A spokesm an for the Dutch airline KLM said all 235 p assen ­gers and 14 crew m em bers aboard its Boeing 747 w ere killed w hen it collided with a Pan A m erican Boeing 747. Pan American officials in London said the ir plane was carrying 380 passengers and 16 crew m en. In Los A ngeles, w here the Pan American flight originated, officials said the plane had 370 passengers.

A irport officials said 105 p assen ­gers and an unknown num ber of crew m em bers had survived from the Pan A m erican plane.

KLM presiden t Sergio O rlandini reported the D utch plane w as traveling a t a takeoff speed of a b o u t.156 miles per hour w hen it

collided with the Pan A m erican craft th a t also w as m aneuvering for takeoff.

Pan A m erican officials in New York said th a t the Pan A m erican plane was crossing a runw ay when the collision took place and tha t both p lanes w ere in the process of taking off.

Both airlines repeated ly revised the num ber of people believed aboard the p lanes.

KLM said its passengers includ­ed 25 young children and six babies. Pan A m erican reported its je t picked up 14 people in a stop at New York City, ra th e r than the 16 announced earlier. It said no cassualty lists would be provided until relatives of victim s had been notified.

The Spanish news agency Cifra said 570 people had been killed and at least 67 in jured , 4 seriously.

Both p lanes w ere carrying tou r­ists on charter trips and both had been diverted from in tended land­ings on a s is te r island at Las Palm as because of a te rro rist bomb

blast there .Orlandini said the KLM plane

had not refueled a t Santa Cruz, bu t the Pan A m erican plane had taken on a full load shortly before taking off. Cifra said a tim e bom b had exploded at the Las Palm as airport som e th ree hours before the Santa Cruz accident. E ight people w ere injured, it said , w hen a bomb hidden in a vase blew up in a flower shop.

No organization has asserted responsibility for the bom bing, the agency said, bu t an independence m ovem ent has been b lam ed for previous bom bing incidents on the islands, which are Spanish.

Eyewitness talks of crash

"Y ou couldn’t see the runw ay from the a irport building, the fog w as th a t thick ” said E duardo U rbano, a Santa Cruz res iden t who arrived a t the airport w ithin an hour after the collision.

U rbano said parts of both p lanes and bodies w ere scattered over the

runw ay and " a w ing broke off from one plane th a t w as in flam es.” “ T here are definitely som e survi­v o rs ," a Pan A m erican official in London reported . “ As to how many th ere are we don’t know y e t."

In a te lephone interview w ith the adm inistrato r of the Santa Cruz G eneral Clinic, he said 18 A m eri­cans w ere adm itted there and two w ere in critical condition. Seven­teen o ther A m ericans w ere adm it­ted to a second local hospital and they w ere all in fair to good condition, a doctor reported .

Cifra said the Santa Cruz airport. Rodeos, was in heavy fog a t the tim e of the accident and th a t one of the p lanes p reparing to depart

A group of seniors are organizing a petition drive in tended to dem on­s tra te the ir dissatisfaction w ith the five-ticket limit announced T hu rs­day by the com m encem ent p lan ­ning com m ittee.

"W h a t w e’d like to indicate to the com m ittee is th a t the re are som e studen ts co n cern ed ," said senior M arty W hite, who o rig inat­ed the plan to s ta rt th e drive. " T h e re ’s never been a lim itation on tickets b e fo re ." He added that the aim of the drive is to move the graduation cerem ony outdoors.

W hite rem arked th a t the pe ti­tions had m et with a favorable response from seniors who w ere contacted this w eekend in the residence halls and added, " w e ’re ju s t s ta r tin g ." S ignatures will also be g a thered today and tom orrow in the dining halls during d inner, and tom orrow and W ednesday during lunchtim e. Seniors will, in add i­tion, have an opportunity to sign the petition in the H uddle, accord­ing to W hite.

The decision to limit the num ber

crossed into th e second je t ’s takeoff path . PanA m erican in London said the crash occured a t 4:40 p .m ., 11:40 a.m . EST.

The w orst single airline crash on record w as th a t of a Turkish DO-10 near Paris in M arch 1974 in which 346 people perished .

The m ost d isastrous air collision was over Z agreb , Y ugoslavia, last Sept. 10, w hen 176 persons w ere killed in th e crash of a British Airways p lane and a chartered Y ugoslav airliner.

Of the seniors, only S tudent Body P residen t Mike G assm an voiced objection to th e proposal.

G assm an explained th a t his d is­sen t was m otivated by his concern th a t m any of the g raduates might need m ore than five tickets.

The p lanning com m ittee cited the record size of the graduating class and the scheduled address by P residen t C arter as the main factors in the ir decision to issue tickets to the com m encem ent cer­em ony.

Badin to ho men’s laundry unit

by Bob Varettoni Senior Staff Reporter

The first floor of Badin will be the site of the new m en ’s laundry m achines, according to Bro. K ieran Ryan, vice p residen t of B usiness Affairs.

“ Our engineers are working on the layout of the th ing now ," Ryan said. "T he laundry m achines will be installed as soon as possible. W e’re planning for the end of M ay.”

Ryan said the specific location of the six w ashers and six dryers will be in the north w est corner of B adin’s first floor.

In order to do th is. Ryan noted, the tailor shop will have to be moved. W orkers are now clearing a space for the tailor shop in the dry cleaning center, he added.

"T h ere w as no o ther place a v a ila b le on c a m p u s fo r th e m ach ines," Ryan said. He said he would have preferred som eplace o ther than Badin such as LaFor- tune, for exam ple.

Ryan said the move to Badin “ com plicated our opera tio n s." H owever, all o ther plans consider­ed, he said he had no o ther choice.

A fter the tailor shop is moved,

Ryan said w orkers will partition off the area for the laundry m achines. He said cold w ater lines will have to be installed, and also dum p drains for the w ashers.

Ryan said he d o esn ’t have any cost estim ates a t the p resen t tim e.

The W hirlpool d istribu tors who own the coin-operated m achines in the w om en’s dorm s will provide the new m achines, Ryan noted. He said the set-up for the new laundry- cen ter should be the sam e as in the w om en’s dorm s, only open to everyone.

Ryan said the only en trance to the laundry location will be through the double doors on the w est side of Badin. He added th a t the cen ter will rem ain open 24 hours a day once it is com pleted in May.

The travel bu reau , the barber shop, Tony’s Shoe Shop, and C am pus M inistry also occupy the first floor of Badin. Ryan said these p laces will rem ain unaffec­ted.

Ryan, who is responsible for the operation of the laundry center, was expected to make the decision on the location of the new m achines six weeks ago. The decision was delayed due to R yan’s illness last m onth.

Class election platforms outlinedEditor’s Note: The following are descriptions of the platforms of the candidates for Tuesday’s class elections. Order was determined by random selection.

Senior classby Joe Bauer

Warren, Yeandei,Cronin, Donahue

W arren’s ticket w ould like to be voted on as a unit, they said, so they did not even list which positions they w ere seeking on their cam paign posters. The said the election of the ir ticket will be a “ change for im provem ent.” They w ant to give seniors an alternative.

The purpose of senior class officers is to “ make money and spend it on the c lass ,” according to W arren. They view their task as organizing unique social events.

A lthough no one on the ticket has experience in studen t governm ent, they consider th is characteristic as an asset. Saying they are “ psyched to do the jo b ,” Yeandei com m ented, “ W e’re not bored with studen t governm ent. W e will tend to try to do d ifferen t th ings. W e’re ready to take ch an ces.” The ticket feels they are handicapped because all the candidates have lived on the South Q uad. However, two m em bers of the ticket live off-campus, which they see as an advantage since so m any seniors do move off cam pus.

A nother advantage of W arren ’s ticket is th a t th ree m em bers’ hom etowns are nearby (two from Chicago, one from South Bend). This will enab le them to organize som e activities for the first few weeks of school, which they said has been traditionally lacking in class events.

As for specific activities, W ar­re n ’s ticket w ants to sponsor a wide variety in order to “ break down cliques in the c la s s .” One of the ir prim e objectives would be to schedule the senior trip som ew here “ exotic and d ifferent off the m ain­land U nited S ta te s .” They would also like to sponsor m ore trips to the D unes, for exam ple, and pos­sibly a bus trip to Fort Lauderdale in the spring. O ther cam pus activities they favor are lunch specials a t Senior Bar, barbecues and happy hours held at local taverns. They said they w ould also like to make com m encem ent and the senior formal unique events.

To raise money, the candidates said they would continue show ing for students on cam pus movies and concession stands. The ticket also would like to look into the possibili­ty of installing a pinball m achine in LaFortune.

Finally, W arren said their b ig­gest enem y was apathy. They w ant the class to know they are serious about running for office and are excited about doing the job.

Flynn, Mulvihiil, Keffler, Bailey

Speaking for his ticket, Flynn said his ticket is running again because they enjoyed the job. They also view their juniyr class leader­ship experience as valuable. They are hopeful th a t they have learned from their m istakes and th ings will go smoothly next year, he said.

Flynn said his ticket feels the function of the class officers is to give the class som ething to rem em ­ber. By unifying the class through activities, the m em bers of the class can look back on the ir years at Notre Dame and recall the good tim es at class social functions, he said.

Specific activities they would like

SHAKESPEARE'S ALIVE & WELL &

LIVING IN AMERICA

to organize include picnics, possi­bly a canoe trip and happy hours. They are also looking into the possibility of a bus trip to the Purdue gam e nex t fall. B esides these social events, they would like to have m ore activities such as ' Senior M asses, w here the a tm os­phere is m ore serious, Flynn added.

To increase com m unication w ith the s tuden ts , th e ticket w ould like to make use of a Senior Forum , sim ilar to th a t used by th is y ea r’s senior class. C oncerning th e senior trip , Flynn said they will m ake no decision about the location until the class can be polled about the ir p reference.

Flynn did not m ention any specific money m aking projects o ther than the usual m ovies and concessions. H owever, he did stress th a t th e class is not out to make money. The purpose is to cover expenses if possible, and let p ro f its s ta y w ith th e c la s s m em bers.

Flynn concluded th a t he is happy another ticket is running, since it shows th e class is not apathetic.

Junior classby Eve Jehle

M cKenna, Flanigan, Fitzpatrick and Frick

Andy M cK enna, candidate for Jun io r C lass P residen t, said th a t organizing “ m ore class functions w here people can m eet and mix in large n u m b er’ ’ would be the aim of his te rm in office if elected.

P lans for the Jun io r C lass in ­clude class trips to the P ittsburgh gam e and a W hite Sox gam e in Chicago, a ski trip , ta ilga ters for hom e football gam es, happy hours and class parties in Niles.

“ The im portan t distinction b e ­tw een our p latform and those of the o ther sla tes is th e fact th a t we have done research on th e feasibility of all our p lanned ev en ts ,” M cK enna em phasized . “ W e have d iscussed obtain ing tickets to both th e P itt and W hite Sox gam es and have found th a t we could g e t them with no difficulty. W e have also contacted the bus lines to d e te r­m ine prices and ten ta tive d a te s” , he continued.

“ As fa r as experience goes, we are relative new -com ers,” M c­K enna said. “ But th ree m em bers of our ticket have been working in the U niversity’s public re la tions’ office w ith people involved in the execution of Jun io r P a ren ts’ W eek­end. W e think th a t this will be valuable experience to us in p lan ­ning next y ea r’s W eekend, one of th e m ost im portan t even ts of Jun io r Y ear.”

M cK enna and his room m ate, T erry Frick (T reasurer), live in the CCE; Sue F lanigan (V .P.) is from Farley; and K athy Fitzpatrick (Sec­retary) lives in Lewis.

Donley, Sullivan, Brehmer and Schlageter

P at Donley s tressed th e im por­tance of class functions and social activities “ cen te red on or around cam pus” to insure accessibility to them for all th e juniors.

“ W e realize th a t a good portion of th e jun ior class w on’t have the tim e or th e money to take extended tr ip s or have th e m eans to g e t to even ts very fa r from cam pus, so we hav en ’t p lanned m any ,” he said. Still, th ere are p lans for a Jun ior C lass trip to th e P itt gam e.

B esides the usual Jun io r Class activities, Donley also looks for­w ard to prom oting a ski trip and a new id e a fo r a “ L ittle B ro ther/L ittle S ister W eekend .” “ W e are planning to sponsor a w eekend w here th e b ro thers and s iste rs of Jun io rs are invited to come and see th e cam pus and becom e m ore involved in it than they can during a football w eek­e n d ,” Donley explained.

As far as research ing th e feasib i­lity of p lanned events, Donley said th a t he is convinced th a t they are all possib le, and th a t he and his runn ing m ates would begin invest­igating details if elected.

His sla te has gained experience in hall governm ent in their resp ec­tive halls, and th e fact th a t all of them are located in halls around cam pus “ m akes the ticket m ore a ttrac tiv e .”

“ A nother idea we w ant to im ­plem ent to im prove com m unica­tions betw een the halls and the class officers will be the election of a m em ber from each hall to the Jun io r C lass Council. They will not be appointed so th a t we will not fall into the clique syndrom e and the res iden ts of the halls will have fair rep re sen ta tio n ,” Donley stressed .

Donley is from Dillon, M aureen S u lliv an (v ic e -p re s id e n t) from Lewis, and M arnie B rehm er (Sec­retary) and Mike Schlageter (T rea­surer) live in Badin and G race respectively.

McNulty, Pace, Cisar and Ziemba

S tressing th a t “ class officers should run on a viable system for the b es t execution of ideas, in stead of the ideas th em selv es,” the M cNulty ticket has p lanned a reorganization of class govern­m ent, including the provision for two v ice-presidents for the North and South quads.

“ W hether we w ant to adm it it or not, th e re is a split betw een the north and south q u a d s ,” McNulty said, “ and i t ’s come to the point w here we don’t even know each other. W hen elected we will work w ith John Reid, ass istan t director of S tudent A ctivities, to in stitu te a vice-president for each quad and one com bined secre tary -treasu rer office. O ur reorganization of the offices will lead to m ore studen t input and reconcile th e north-south quad sep a ra tio n .”

The two vice-presidents, Tim

C isar of th e South Q uad and Tony Pace of th e North Q uad a re to evenly split th e responsibility of com m unication w ith th e hall re p re ­sen tatives to insure m axim um effi­ciency of th e advisory board. A cco rd in g to M cN u lty , th is reorganization of th e offices could possibly lead to an alteration of the senior and sophom ore offices, with R eid’s consent.

R evitalization of th e advisory board , according to Pace and C isar, would be accom plished th rough constan t com m unication of the board w ith all of th e officers and strict a ttendance a t th e bi-m onthly m eetings. Hall rep resen ta tives are to be chosen by the officers after recom m endation by th e hall p res i­den ts .

M cNulty term ed a m ajor goal for th e officers as “ g rea te r visibility” . “ G reater visibility” would be achieved th rough m andatory a t­tendance of all m eetings by the officers, open m eetings for the jun ior class, participation by offic­ers in class activitities such as form als and a stress on personal contact of officers w ith class m em ­bers , she said.

“ I t’s a sham e w hen the class officers don’t even a ttend th e ir own fu nc tions,” M cNulty said. “ W e talked to s tuden ts who d id n ’t even know who th e ir class officers or hall rep resen ta tives w ere. T h a t’s the fault of th e studen ts and the governm ent. W e w ant to revitalize th e w hole system to g e t the s tu d en t’s ideas before any p artic ­u lar activities are p lan n ed .”

Mary's SBP

VOTE!!!Today Saint Mary’s student body is

being offered something it hasn’t had in two years - a choice for Student Body President. The tickets of Rukavina- O’Connell-Hedges and Stolze-Baggiano- Chin are fighting the apathy that has almost become a way of life at Saint Mary’s, and they deserve to be recogniz­ed.

Rukavina and Stolze, by nominating themselves, have shown a willingness to work for the students. To be effective, however, the President must be able to show evidence that she has the support of the student body. Last year less than 15 percent of the student body bothered to vote in the Student Government election.

Many students believed that their vote wouldn’t matter because there was only one ticket on the ballot. This year you, the students, have no excuse.

The position of Student Body President, along with the positions of Vice president of student affairs and Vice president of academic affairs, is the most effective vehicle students have for getting things done. But the fuel needed to run the vehicle is student support. By voting today, you can take the first step toward the much needed participation in Saint Mary’s student government.

The candidates’ platforms are printed on this page. Read them carefully and make your own decision. Then vote.

R a p p e d

p -a r Editor:

I am add ressing th is le tte r to my fellow stu d en ts . I wish to applaud th e ir recen t action concerning The Observer and its petition. Enough signatu res w ere obtained to insure a one-hundred percen t fee increase next year to cover th e p ap e r’s d eb ts , inflated costs, m ism anage­m ent, etc.

Too m any people ignore the

O. Boxcapitalist convention of supporting w ith dollars th a t which one believes in. Not th e ND-SMC stu d en t bodyl They have decided to pay double for the ir daily p ap er and all it s tands for.

As for m yself, I am a m em ber of the m inority who opposed the petition. 1 am asham ed to adm it th a t The Observer is, in fact, my school’s pap er and supposedly rep resen ts the stu d en t view point. W hat is the source of my em b ar­rassm en t? D are I express the g rounds for my hum ble opinion w hen surely the m ajority has already exam ined th e facts and discounted them as insignificant? W ell, hopefully, by listing my

Q _ -----reasons the w ise m ajority will be able to d isprove them once and for all and se t m e on the righ t track.

F irst, 1 object to th e gross m ism anagem ent of th e p a p e r’s funds resu lting in the w orrisom e deb t. But o ther opponents have voiced causes, so 1 need not repeat them . Second, I strongly resen t the m ism anagem ent of th e potential we have on cam pus to produce a decen t s tuden t new spaper. The

. operational facilities are already in existence and our com m unity u n ­doubtedly possesses a w ealth of ta len ted people who could serve as sta ff m em bers. Yet we are daily subjected to a new ssheet not fit for publication.

Editorials are am ateurish and the ed ito rs’ a ttitude in genera l is petty and vindictive. W itness the unnecessary and belittling com ­m ents tacked onto re a d e rs ’ le tte rs. Technical m istakes abound and are taken as a m atter-of-course. This is a resu lt of th e sam e unprofessional a ttitude . Supposing one did decide to overlook th ese faults, th e news covered in th e p ap er does not even justify the tim e it takes to read it. U nfortunately, The Observer is the only p ap er m any studen ts read during th e school year, and its dearth of world news reinforces the intellectual isolation typical of col­leges and universities.

Again, perhaps one could over­look these num erous failings if the paper actually stood for w hat it claim s to be - “ an independent stu d en t n ew sp ap e r." But The Ob­server is no m ore independen t than Tass. If th e re really isn ’t any censorship then why is the p ap er so gu tless? it never takes a firm or controversial stance on anything. If The Observer may be said to stand for som ething, it is mediocrity. The righ t to freedom of the press dem ands th e responsibility to strive for excellence. Hopefully, the new Observer sta ff will recog­nize th is concept and at least a ttem pt to incorporate it into their journalistic policies.

ChinThe only way th a t stu d en t gov­

ernm en t can work is if the studen t body w ants it to work. The best way to tell you about us is to tell you about our stand on studen t governm ent.

W e th ree candidates view s tu ­den t governm ent as a rep resen ­tative p a rt of Saint M ary’s entity . Its main function as a coordinating body for s tu d en t and academ ic affairs can serve to inspire and unify Saint M ary’s.

As officers for this entity we are w illing to m ake ourselves available to all studen ts off-cam pus as well as on cam pus, so th a t a b e tte r com m unication flow can be achiev­ed. O ur m ain objective lies in our w illingness to hear s tuden t con­cerns. O ur purpose is two fold: reactive and p roac tive , to be aw are of s tuden t needs and consequently respond to those needs in som e way. In order to achieve th is, we need a stab le com m unication process. The various hall rep resen ­tatives, along w ith the Grapevine, can function not only to inform you of our actions b u t also to have you inform us as to your suggestions and opinions of those or o ther actions.

W e th ree candidates have in­dividually had experience in vary­ing aspects of stu d en t governm ent; M ary Ann Stolze is a form er V ice-President of S tudent Affairs and form er P residen t of Regina Hall, T erease Chin w as a Class P residen t and Jo Ann Baggiano has worked as Special E vents C hair­person on Social Com m ission this year. W e each have acquired an understand ing of the w orkings of s tu d en t governm ent.

is a t th e peak of its progressive nature . W e have a high quality academ ic s tuden t body, a strong adm in istra tive backbone and a com pelling th ru s t tow ard innova­tion, im provem ent and experim en­tation. W e believe th a t these a sse ts should be taken advantage of in an effort to help Saint M ary’s reach its fu llest potential. How­ever, we as th ree officers of your s tuden t body can only begin th a t developm ent w ith the support of you 1700 stu d en ts . Your concern and support in th e stu d en t govern­m ent can help define our function. S tudent governm ent is w hat you w ant it to be and w hat you’re willing to m ake it.

The m ain points in our platform I’d like to expand on are avail­ability, com m unication and in ­volvem ent. I feel th e way to accom plish these th ree goals is to first look at the s truc tu re of studen t governm ent. M ore studen t body rep resen ta tion through enlarging S tudent A ssem bly is a place to begin.

Com m unication betw een studen t governm ent and the studen t body could be broadened by including an additional section to the Grapevine for s tuden ts to w rite opinions and ideas. This would provide a direct line to stu d en t governm ent of­ficers. C om m ittees from Student A ssem bly could th en be form ed to work on those ideas.

A m ore centrally located studen t governm ent office would provide easy access to officers and in ­form ation concerning the issues being d iscussed in S tudent G overn­m ent m eetings.

One th ing I’d like to s tress is tha t th ings take tim e. Cooperation betw een stu d en t governm ent and the s tuden t body is essen tia l for anything to be accom plished. We need to be involved and aw are of the issues. An open and concerned studen t governm ent is w hat we propose by building and b roaden­ing the services studen t govern­m ent already provides.

RukavinaHedges

O'ConnellM onday, M arch 28th, you the

studen ts of St. M ary’s College have a very im portan t and valuable contribution to m ake to your col­lege. One very sim ple task can accom plish a w hole y ear of com ­plaining cannot. W hat is it th a t you m ust do? Vote!!!

The physical ac t of voting is only p art of it though . The real effort and m eaning beh ind the act is knowing who and w hat you are voting for. H ave you read the p latform s, heard th e candida tes speak, or m et them as they have come door to door??

My nam e is M ary Rukavina, and I am a candidate for S tuden t Body Presiden t. My two runn ing m ates are C athy H edges for V.P. Ac­adem ic A ffairs, and K athy O ’Con- nel for V .P. S tuden t A ffairs. The th ree of us have w orked extrem ely hard in the p as t two w eeks, cam paigning for issues, policies, and aw areness.

W e sta ted in our p latform tha t our position is to be as rep re sen ­tative of you as we can. The only way to accom plish th a t is to stay constantly in touch w ith you and your feelings. W e don’t ju s t say we are going to do it, we go ahead and do it. For exam ple; it w as our ticket who su ggested a m eet the candida tes n igh t in the din ing hall during the d inner hour, and it was our ticket who w ent th rough w ith it. W e said we w anted you to hear our

positions, and we gave you the opportunity to do so.

The o ther point we m ade on our platform w as the action we would like to take if elected . W e have continued to m ention our be lief th a t the focus of th e stu d en t governm ent has been to self-lim it­ing in th e past, and we m ust shift and b roaden i t ’s focus. O ur approach to action is to handle sm aller problem s th a t affect the studen ts constantly . W e m en­tioned th a t som e of these problem s are: a m ore reliable shu ttleservice, revitalization of the book­store, and expansion of som e of its services, such as th e addition of a new spaper stand w ith travel and new s lite ra tu re , and new spapers from studen ts hom e tow ns, and use of the new ath letic facility for forum s w ith speakers and concerts.

In addition to these concerns, we would like to see s tu d en t govern­m ent d irect som e of i t ’s energ ies tow ards service o rien tated p ro ­jec ts . Some of these m ight include:

a St. M ary’s com m unity blood bank which would be used w hen any m em ber of th e St. M ary’s com m unity is in jured and needs a supply of blood. W e would also like to organize a specific charity which the stu d en t body could designate and organize fund raising drives for, we would also like to spend more tim e inform ing the s tu d en t t body about such projects as the W orld H unger Coalition.

W in or lose, we are extrem ely proud of the fact th a t for the first tim e in about five years , th ere are two tickets from which to choose. W e are offering the s tuden ts here a choice, and hope th a t a p a tte rn of involvem ent will follow. W e also m ade w hat we consider the best a ttem pt to reach th e stu d en t body

with our door to door cam paign­ing. W e approached th e s tuden t body on a one-to-one basis w ith our ideas and concerns. W e asked you w hat you though t and if th e re was anything in particu lar you would like to see worked op.

W e gained a w ealth of know­ledge, th e kind th a t you could never achieve in a class room situation , and we had fun doing it. It was an experience th a t we feel very honored to have been involved with and one which we hope everyone learned from . P lease show tha t you do care, m ake tha t first s tep easie r for all of us by getting out to vote today.

A Time For

Every year, as we approach the week called Holy, m ost of us seriously try to make some sense out of it. W e try to understand th a t “ p ass io n " of Je su s , his passover; and we a ttem p t to deal forth­rightly with som e puzzling questions: In what way was J e s u s ’ crucifixion neces­sary? How could w hat he did so long ago have any connection w ith us, and in any way save us?

For one th ing , we are beginning to realize (belatedly) th a t, although the gory details of the way of the cross have been made the central point by a thousand preachers, they are truly incidental to the discovery tha t the im portan t th ing w as tha t Je su s was obedient to th e Father, accep t­ing w hatever was going to come his way, with free men acting freely. The F ather had no desire for his son to die on the cross. The fact th a t he had decided to allow m an to be free does not at all m ean he w ished free m en to so m isuse the ir freedom th a t they slaugh tered his son.

Jesu s w ent to the cross because, if he was going to accept the circum stances of tha t historical m om ent, he had no choice.It did not have to be crucifixion (it .just worked out th a t way); bu t it did have to be obedience, no m atte r w hat the specifics. W hat we see revealed here is the am azing biblical tru s t in God that is common to all G od’s g rea t servants. Je su s follows in th a t

g rea t tradition of A braham , Isaac, M oses; and tops them all. It is his w illingness to tru s t w hen he d id n ’t only w onder if the F ather was listening, bu t w asn’t a t all sure

fr. bill tOOney he was even p resen t (“ My God, why have you forsaken m e?" ), th a t is the truly am azing th ing. At th a t m om ent of death , Je su s was still willing to su rren d er (“ Into your hands, I com m end my sp irit” ); and, since there was no longer any obstacle betw een him and the F ather, his obedient death led to glory.

cinema 77

W hat th is should do is destroy forever the false notion (held by so many) th a t would designate the suffering endured by Je su s as “ sa tisfac tion" or “ satisfying the divine ju s tic e ." These theories, w ith no support from a proper understand ing of Scripture, conjure up the specter of a God who is childishly concerned about his own honor, and who takes p leasu re in seeing it avenged, like som e M afia G odfather.

Some pay an awful price ju s t to make Je su s appealing . The F a ther ends up a w rathful character who needs to be appeased and pacified; who seem s to have p redeterm ined a certain am ount of pain his son m ust suffer in o rder to m ake sa tisfac­tion for all sins of m en and w om en. (In a g ro tesque chain reaction, we note how som e have attem pted to prom ote M arian devotion by ex tending the sam e kind of trea tm en t to Je su s . Now he is the

david okeefeStanley K ubrick. H ave you ever heard a

movie billed by som e studio as a C harles B. Pierce film or a M ichael W inner film or a Joe Nobody film? W e all have. But w hen you finally g e t down to it, the w ords m ean nothing. No film m aker can claim th a t he has been so consistently g o o tm ia t crowds will know exactly w hat to expect w hen they hear his nam e attached to the nam e of a film. E xcept for one. Stanley K ubrick.

Think o f som e of the m ost important films in recen t years, film s th a t took a hunk of the hum an psyche th a t th e Puritans in Hollywood had looked a t as incidentals, as characters’ accessories. Like sex stup id ­ity, sm allness, the confusion of an en tire race of people or ultraviolence. Then think about films th a t Stanley K ubrick has m ade. Like Lolita, Paths of Glory, Dr. Strange-

love, like 2001: A Space Odyssey, or A Clockwork Orange. Those a re not ju s t good or excellent film s. Those are films tha t changed the p aram eters and boun­daries of an en tire a rt form.

The C inem a 77 Festival th is week will feature four of K ubrick’s film s. Paths of Glory (M ohday) is th e ta le of a French soldier in W W I ordered by a crazed, am bitious com m ander to lead a suicidal attack in th e m idst of ba ttle . A dolphe M enjou as the com m ander and Kirk Douglas as the soldier are superlative in lending dep th and necessary d istance to their characters.

T uesday’s film. Dr. Strangelove, is a terrib le, ru th less piece of Orwellian m ad­ness . P eter Sellers, G eorge C. Scott and Sterling H ayden all the way down to the scrubs, the sa tire is frightfully w ell-acted and thoroughly convincing, so funny yet so likely. The plot concerns the consequences of handing the aw esom e pow er p resen t in nuclear w eapons to th e carelessness of sm all m inds.

On W ednesday, if you’re not doing anything W ednesday, you can alw ays see the b es t science-fiction film we have, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Any work of fabulism , no m atter how en terta in ing on th e surface, m ust correspond to elem ents im bedded deeply in th e hum an soul before it can hope to achieve any degree of success. This film m aps the hum an spirit as it sim ultaneously sketches a kind of allegorical parallel to the hum an tim e line.

The Festival closes Thursday w ith A Clockwork Orange, K ubrick’s brilliant adaptation of A nthony B urgess’ equally brilliant novel. It is the story of a young, violent punk who, along with his Droogies, terrorizes th e s tree ts of a fu turistic city until the State catches and tries to “ cu re” him.

The film s reflect the d iverse in terests and dependab le ta len ts of a g rea t a rtist.

Editor’s Note: The films will be shown at 7:30 and 10:00 p.m . on the nights indicated. All films will be shown in the Engineering Auditorium with the excep­tion of A Clockwork O range, which will be shown in Washington Hall.

Have you ever looked down into your dinner plate and seen your own reflection? W hen it’s not th e thrill TV tells you to expect, you w onder if you a re n ’t m issing som ething.

You are . And th a t som ething is the artistry and craftsm anship you could be seeing in th a t p late, goblet, or bowl. A dept at this artistry is Bill K rem er, N otre D am e’s ceram ic teacher and nationally recognized ceram ic sculpturor. Until April 6th you can see his pottery and scu lp ture in Isis Gallery.

The show is long on functional pottery . R epresented are num erous pot shapes from M r. K rem er’s extensive reperto ire . A mong th e pieces disp layed are goblets, m ixing bow ls, p la tte rs, teapo ts, and cas­seroles. It is in keeping w ith his s ta tem en t tha t “ a rt is an act o f your life .” K rem er’s pottery is throw n on a po tters w heel and all of the exhibited pots are high-fire, glassy glazed pieces. The quality and selection of :he p ieces are indicative of K rem er’s ten odd years of experience in ceram ics. K rem er h im self said. “ It is still th e sam e hallenge to m ake stronger pots. T here is

endless im provem ent and ch an g e .” The challenge and change are ev iden t in w hat ic calls lidded “ boxes” . The stren g th and he challenge come in th e technical

m astery requ ired to fit th e two very large low ls th a t becom e each o thers top and lottom . Then to create an aesthetic whole with glazes is exciting. The sim ple title ‘brow n box” or “ black box” unders ta te

all the though t going on in th e piece.The title card reads “ Yard A rt #3” . T hat

title is a touch of Bill K rem er’s hum or. The sculp ture so succinctly described is a spin-off of th e ceram ic sculp ture technique tha t has ea rn ed Bill K rem er invitations to the Skripps Ceram ic Invitational Show and

unapproachable one; “ the only way to Je su s is through M ary .” )

The m isunderstand ing of the roles of hte F ather and of Je su s is deeply im bedded in our C hristian and Catholic trad itions. But any w orthy theology of our salvation m ust begin and end with the fact that God is love. As G erard Sloyan has pointed out, God is justice also, but there is no justice in the godhead that is not adm inistered lovingly. To repeat. God did not w ant his own son to su ffe r ; he d id n 't desire or dem and som e bloody satisfaction. All he asked was for his son to be true to him in an obedient and trusting surrender.

This dem anded J e s u s ’ denial of h im self and w hat was m ost natural to w ant — survive. By freely choosing to refuse escape from the collision course he saw him self on with th e au thorities, Je su s achieved exaltation . W hat the cross reveals is th e glorification of a m an who obediently accepted death .

Still, we ask, w hat does all th is have to do with our own salvation? How does w hat Je su s did save us also? W ell, for one th ing , he saves us from m issing the whole m eaning of life. He would call us to live th a t way, too; for it is th e only way we can be saved: by su rrendering to th e F ather, and rem aining true to th a t p ledge of love no m atte r w hat it tak es ...tak es from us, or out of us.

Je su s did w hat he did, not so tha t the Father would relen t and relinquish his g rudge, bu t so tha t we would relen t. He did it so tha t we would relen t now from our violence (revealed in a God of love hung on a tree); and so th a t we would re len t from our resistance to the F a ther who calls us to him self. T hat is how Je su s saves us “ through his death on th e c ro ss .” He would save us from m issing th e whole m eaning of life; from giving ourselves to the w rong god; from our b lindness to the loving appeals o f a God so am azing he loves us even w hen we kill h is son.

The cross freed Je su s for resurrection ; it led to his com plete availability; his being able to be with us anq for us w ithout lim itation or restriction . Je su s died, and becam e th e risen Lord for us a t th is p resen t m om ent. Je su s reveals th e F a th e r’s saving pow er to us now. Je su s saves us because the F a th er does, and Je su s is one w ith him . He is a unique way to the Father; not th e only way, m ind you, for, as Fr. B urtchaell points out in 'h is fine study, Philemon’s Problem, the F a th e r’s saving work w ent on before the incarnation and would have continued w ithout it. The fact th a t Je su s w as sen t is a sign of the g rea tn ess of the F a th e r’s love. And we dread to th ink w hat life would be like w ithout him and all he reveals to us of the Father, w hose life and spirit he shares with us.

Fortunately , th is detail was not a gnaw ing inconvenience, for th e show never really lagged or fa ltered , prim arily due to the considerate s treng th of the songs them selves.

Irish fencers capture NCAA crownGerard, Sullivan win gold medals; DeCicco named "Coach of the Year”

by Paul Stevenson Sports Editor

A national cham pionship is an event which occurs only once in a g rea t while. For the Notre Dame fencers, their “ g rea t w hile” b e ­came a reality this past w eekend during the NCAA tournam ent held at the A thletic and Convocation C enter.

Notre D ame, who defeated 54 opposing schools en route to their NCAA crown, was tied with New York U niversity a t the term ination of regular tournam ent play. Both team s had compiled 114 points and w ere required to com pete in a fence-off for the title.

The order of the fence-off was to be sabre, foil and epee. The school which was victorious in two of the three bouts would be crowned national cham pions.

Mike Sullivan, who captured the gold m edal in sabre, s ta rted the fence-off against Miklos Benedek of NYU. The sophom ore standout responded w ith a thrilling 3-5 victory, giving the Irish a 1-0 lead in fence-off bouts.

Foil was the next w eapon, an event which p itted Notre D am e's Pat G erard against NYU’s Tom Valijacic. G erard never gave Valigacic a stab a t a win, as the jun ior foil specialist raced to a 0-5 victory to give the Irish a 2-0 m argin in bouts.

Because of the back to back victories in sab re and foil, there was no need for a fence-off in epee. Thus, the Fighting Irish won the

fence-off 2-0 and captured the national title for the first tim e in Notre Dame history.

G e ra rd w as p ro b a b ly N o tre D am e’s most surprising perform er. The Irish fencer claim ed the gold

m edal with 18 victories against 4 losSes during his 22 bout perfor­m ance.

The Notre Dam e junior was m atched against some rigid com pe­tition, expecially in Robert M arx of Portland State. M arx was nam ed the 1977 “ Foil Fencer of the Y ear.”

In addition. M arx was ranked num ber one on the Olympic squad.

Paul StevensonWinning the Hard WayThe Notre Dame fencing team boasts many individual and team

records, however, the feat they accom plished this past w eekend probably stands out am ong the rest.

For years, the Irish have had a superio r fencing team . Coach Mike DeCicco’s 291-32 record is testim ony to th a t fact. Yet, the Notre Dame fencers have never achieved their long aw aited goal. That goal was to be national cham pions.

The Irish have com pleted two consecutive undefeated seasons. Last year they had defeated both New York U niversity and W ayne State University in regular season com petition. However, in the 1976 NCAA’s. NYU captured the crown with 79 m arkers respectively.

The NCAA cham pionships only allow a th ree man team , one en tran t in each w eapon. T hroughout the fencing season, each school com petes w ith a nine m an squad . Thus, in the NCAA’s, a school need only have th ree supersta rs, instead of a strong team with considerable depth.

Notre Dame has had a very strong team in recent years. The depth tha t they possess has been difficult to m atch by any o ther com petitor.

However, each and every year, the Irish are denied their national cham pionship. Why not try to change the NCAA regulations? Why not run the NCAA’s like a regulation m atch, with nine en tran ts from each school?

Many schools are against th is idea. Aside from the tim e factor involved in having th ree tim es as many contestan ts, many schools are in favor of only having top perform ers in each w eapon in the tournam ent.

Many schools may have a poor fencing squad , however, they may do well in the NCAA tournam ent. In the case of Notre D am e, the ir situation has been the opposite. Every season they do well, but when limited to th ree fencers, they do not perform as well as their season record indicates.

The 1977 NCAA Fencing T ournam ent was a com pletely d ifferent story. Coach DeCicco and his F ighting Irish fencing team beat the 54 com peting schools at their own gam e.

If each school had en tered a nine m an squad, the Irish may have been more highly favored. Yet, Notre Dame bea t their com petitors in a more difficult m anner.

W hen a victory is achieved through regulations which are more beneficial to the opponent, the win is even more cherished. The Notre Dame fencers perform ed superbly on the way to their national cham pionship. Most im portant, they fenced as a team .

The Irish fencers perform ed in a style which is truly represen tative of Notre Dame athletics. The national title is even more gratifying when one realizes the team earned their crown the “ hard w ay.”

R ab in o v itc h fo r to p h o n o rs . Rabinovitch had beaten Sullivan only two weeks earlier in the G reat Lakes T ournam ent and was also the only opponent to defeat Sullivan during his collegiate career.

In epee, Irish All-America fencer Tim G lass captured fourth place. The Notre Dame senior accum u­lated a 16-7 mark. Although fencing well, the Irish epee special­ist did not perform as expected.

C apturing the gold m edal in epee was H ans W ieselgren of NYU with a 21-2 record. The second and third place fin ishes belonged to Robert Frensom of R utgers and Jim Neale of Princeton respec­tively.

Notre Dam e fencers w ere not the only ones to achieve NCAA honors.

H ead Coach Mike DeCicco was nam ed NCAA “ Coach of the Y ear.” In addition to tou rnam en t victories, DeCicco, since becom ing head coach of the Irish in 1962, has compiled 291 wins while only suffering 32 defeats.

Following Notre Dame and NYU in the final stand ings w as W ayne S tate with 103 points. The U niver­sity of Pennsylvania and H arvard U niversity rounded out the top five.

The NCAA cham pionship w as a goal , th a t Coach DeCicco and his fencers have been working for since 1962. N otre Dam e finished their season with a 23-0 m ark. This record gives the Irish the ir second consecutive undefeated season, and extends the ir unbeated string

to 67 m atches.All th ree Irish fencers perform ed

like p rofessionals. “ Pat G erard w as the C inderella guy of this to u rn am en t,” an ecstatic DeCicco sta ted . “ He had to defeat all the top seeded fencers in the tou rna­m ent during th e final rounds .”

G erard had accum ulated three defeats a fte r two days of action. The Irish foil specialist, however, was dow ned only once on Saturday to end the tou rnam en t with a mere four defea ts and a first place-gold m edal finish.

Sullivan overcam e the obstacles of Rabinovitch of W ayne State and B enedek of NYU to capture first place. “ I lost som e dum b b o u ts ,”

1 Sullivan com m ented. “ I’d beat the top seeded p layers and then lose to som e of the bottom se e d s .”

A lthough Sullivan was d isap­pointed about som e m atches which he believe he should not have lost, G lass reflected on the tournam ent a b it differently .

“ The tou rnam en t was really a team effo rt,” G lass explained. “ Sullivan and G erard w ere the best fencers in the tournam ent. They w ere also the b es t clutch fencers. They won all of the ir crucial bouts w hen they had to .”

For the Irish, one could not ask for a m ore phenom enal season. NYU re tu rned th e ir w inning trio from last y e a r’s NCAA cham pion­ship squad . Yet, Notre Dame, undaun ted , proved NYU could be beaten .

Notre D am e will have their two in d iv id u a l n a tio n a l ch am p io n s re tu rn ing to nex t y e a r’s squad. Sullivan, a sophom ore, and G erard, a junior, will aid the Irish in sabre and foil once again next season.

Sullivan’s record stands at 100-2 during his two year sab re role at Notre D am e. M eanw hile, G erard has com piled a 115-16 m ark during his th ree year term w ith the foil.

Senior All-Am erica Tim Glass will be lost to g raduation . G lass ends his N otre Dam e career with a 160-26 ledger. The Irish epee specialist w as also a two-time G reat Lakes T ournam ent gold m edal w inner.

The top six fencers in every w eapon are given All-America distinction. . The 1977 NCAA tournam en t m akes Sullivan and

second-tim e A ll-Am erica candidate, while G erard claim s the sam e honors for the first occasion.

The fencing season has ended. A lready th ere has been talk of repeating th e ir fea t next year. For now, how ever, they should ju s t en jo y th e d is t in c tio n th e y ’ve ea rn ed -N a tio n a l C ham pions.

Ray O’ BrianAt Theatres Soon

Curtain CallsThis y e a r’s NCAA playoffs have taken the form of a

thrilling m ystery with the view er only su re of one thing: an NCAA cham pion would finally em erge.

The NCAA playoffs proved to be som ething of a variety show, offering plenty of action to its audience. Every team had its role to play. K entucky was dubbed the favored g iant. N evada-Las V egas w ere the w estern gun slingers who could shoot from the hip with deadly aim . The University of North C arolina at C harlotte g rabbed the role of C inderella bu t had to share the h earts of the audience with the courageous M arquette W arriors who w ere m aking one last stand for th e ir im m ortal field general who w as retiring from active duty after many illustrious battles . Last y ea r’s runner-up , M ichigan, was a pack of hungry wolves, while the crippled team from North C arolina becam e giant killers. San Francisco portrayed th e young and the restless.

C ollege basketball followers w atched th is series with g rea t anxiety as the plot unfolded. The outlaws from Vegas quickly put San Francisco to rest, and in doing so gained a lot of support as the outstand ing team in the tournam ent.

The script becam e m ore involved as the Carolina g ian t killers knocked off the behem oth Kentucky W ildcats. However, UNCC confused their role with Red Riding Hood as the W olverines bit o n l / th e dust.

The cast narrow ed down to four perform ers at this w eekend’s beginning. M arquette and UNCC. the two sentim ental favorites, w ere to face each o ther, while the sling shoo ters of North Carolina w ere to gun it out with the Rebels of Las Vegas. The ex travaganza was building to a climax.

In a th rille r from sta rt to finish, M cG uire’s troops edged “ the o ther North C arolina te a m ” as Jerom e W hitehead slam m ed home th e w inning baske t as the clock struck tw elve on the C inderella team from the south. V iew ers w alked away pleased by the en te rta inm en t b u t claim ing th e end ing was a bit unrealistic.

The o ther sem i-final m atch was tw ice as close as the previous peform ance (one point m argin versus the W arriors two point spread). The proverbial D avid’s slingshot proved deadlier than the bom bs Jerry T arkan ian’s team threw up as North C arolina stalled their way 84-83 victory over Las Vegas.

The frenzy created by the th ree point w inning spread in the two sem i-final m atches leads us to the denouem ent scheduled for ton igh t. It is most appropriate th a t this g rand finale should be staged the sam e night as the Academy A wards. It m ight be fitting to p resen t sim ilar aw ards to the players and coaches after the M arquette-N orth Carolina gam e.

The nom inees for thb best p layer m ight read Butch Lee and Bo Ellis of M arquette along with Phil Ford and W alter Davis of North Carolina-. Best supporting player would be a toss up betw een Je rom e W hitehead and M ichael O ’Koren. Best p layer in a losing sem i-final perform ance would be betw een Cedric “ C ornbread” M axwell and " S u d d e n ” Sam Smith.

P redicting the ending to th is th ree week series would be no more than a guess. The .authors, w hoever they may be. did an excellent job of com plicating the plot so that view ers would be glued to their sea ts until the last second The u ltim ate stars
