Over 5,500 attendees at DUsers* Mac Fair $15,000 in Door prizes. Mac II, PD software and prospective students all involved Honorary Degrees Approved Trustees' Exec Committee discusses constnation, etc. Special to The Triangle On Saturday, April 11, the DUsers, Drexcl's Macintosh User Group, held Horizon.s MacFair II in the Creese Stu- dent Center. The MacFair event in- troduced students to many different aspects of the Macintosh and Macin- tosh software. The fair was attended by over 5,500 people from all over the Delaware Valley. The fair had many special features, such as a giant public domain software exchange where students could purchase pre-copied public do - main disks or copy disks themselves at the Korman Center. Seminars were held throughout the day, one of which was a demonstration of Apple's new Macintosh II computer by Ron Hochsprung, the chief engineer of the machine. Other seminars included lec- tures on programming techniques, copyrighting software, and repairing damaged disks. A prize drawing was held, where over $15,000 worth of prizes were given away including a $3000 Macintosh SE. In the Grand Hall, exhibits from over thirty of the best Macintosh product developers in the nation showcased their products to the attendees. By the end of the day. the DUsers had sold over 5,000 disks and users had copied another 5,000 on their own. An entire set of the DUsers PD library consisted of thirty double sid- ed Sony disks for $60. Over 4,000 prize drawing tickets were distributed, and anxious crowds listened to hear the names of the winners of close to 100 different prizes. Lines formed around the Apple booth to catch a glimpse of the Macin- tosh II computer, and the giant piles of flyers on the tables of the developers in the exhibition hall dwindled down to almost nothing. At the end of the day, developers consistently com- mented on the notable intelligence of the audience that had participated and on the courtesy and capability of the people who organized the event, MacFair was different from many other student-run events in that it was open to non-Drexel students, which comprised neariy thirty percent of the attendees. It also serves as a sounding post for Drexel's microcomputing pro- gram and provides a great source of publicity for the University. The DUsers is Drexel's official Macintosh user group and is the oldest Macintosh user group in the nation. Funds from the fair will be used to ex- pand DUser service facilities, in- cluding improvements to the DUsers Dragon Keep BBS and the purchase of a Macintosh II computer replete with optional features.

Andel Triangle Staff Writer Ron Hochsprung of Apple Com- puter, Inc. demonstrated the new Ap- ple Macintosh 11 microcomputer to im- pressed audiences at the Horizons/MacFair II conference last weekend. Hochsprung, leader of the Mac II development team and a veteran of the Lisa and AppleTalk pro- jects, described the design and im- plementation goals of the machine as being "to produce a bigger, faster, more powerful, flexible, and open Mac." With the Mac II, Apple has certainly accomplished these goals. The machine uses a new microprocessor which runs four times faster than the ones used in previous Macintosh models. The Mac II also has a new floating point co-processor which per - forms mathematical calculations nearly two hundred times faster than the machine's microprocessor. Other in- ternal features include 256K of read- only memory (ROM), twice that of older Macs, and one megabyte of random-access memory which is ex- pandable to eight megabytes. The audio-video capabilities of the Mac II are even more impressive. Mac II features four voice stereophonic sound and a choice of either a twelve- inch diagonal black and white monitor or a thirteen-inch diagonal color monitor. The monitors offer a roughly thirty percent improvement in resolu- tion over monitors rsed in older Macintoshes. In addition, the color monitor can display up to 256 colors simultaneously chosen from a palette of nearly seventeen million different colors. The new Mac. with its open ar- chitecture. sports six expansion slots which can accomodate hardware cards from third party hardware developers. In this manner, the Mac II can utilize a much wider range of peripheral devices. Apple is retailing the Macintosh II for $4,000 to S6.0(X). depending on which options are desired at the time of purchase. What are the implications of this development for the Drexel community? Since the new machine is so very different from the current Macintosh line, there is no way to upgrade a Macintosh or Mac Plus to a Macin- tosh II. In addition, not all of the soft- ware currently available for the Macintosh line will run on the Mac II. Hochsprung noted, however, that by the end of the summer when the Mac II will be widely available, most developers will have converted their software to work on the Mac II. Though Apple has several color ap- plications currently under develop- ment. the only existing applications known to Hwhsprung which would take advantage of the Mac II’s advanc- ed features are CricketGraph, which works in color, and some software drives from National Instruments that utilize the expansion slots. Apple has several color applications currently under development. Of the future of the Macintosh pro- duct line. Hochsprung said only that, "Most of us view the Mac II as the base line product for a whole new generation of Macintoshes." He also noted that when the new Sony quad-density 3'/i" diskettes (which hold 1600k—twice the amount a MacPlus diskette holds) become available, Apple will consider upgrading the Macintosh to use the new diskettes. Ron Hochsprung started with Ap- ple in 1980, and is a veteran of the Lisa and Apple Talk projects. He has work- ed for National Semiconductor, Fer- mi Lab, and as an instructor at Illinois Institute of Technologies. By Brian (ioodman Of The Triangle The Executive Committee of the University's Board of Trustees met last Wednesday to discuss budget con- cerns, honorary degree recipients, and plans for new construction in addition to other topics pertaining to the University's internal affairs. Originally budgeting for 11,504 graduate and undergraduate students, the University found itself with an ad- ditional 268 students enrolled, increas- ing the total number of Drexel at- tendees to 11,772. This increase has created an excess of revenues amoun- ting to $1,045,000., of which $995,852 will be allocated to various University.departments and programs. The Financial Aid Office will receive $42,170 of these funds to hire a Graduate-Evening Fiancial Aid Counselor, a Transfer Counselor, three classified employees, and addi- tional temporary help. The largest chunk of this money, over one-third, will cover an unexpected increase of $365,000 in the cost of the Universi- ty's liability insurance coverage. The nominations of six proposed honorary degree recipients were con- firmed at Wednesday’s meeting. The recipients include Grace Hopper, in- ventor of the first compiler; creator of the COBOL computer language. Dr. James Bagian, a Drexel graduate who was one of the youngest astronauts to become part of the Space Shuttle Mis- sion Crew; and Dr. John Wheeler, winner of the National Medal of Science and the Nicholas Bohr, the Albert Einstein, the Hnrico I-'ermi. the Franklin, the Oersted, and the Op- penheimer prizes.

Plans for the Freeman Building in- clude possible demolition and the ex- pansion of the property's parking lot. Faculty appointments, leave, retirements, promotions, and tenures were announced at the meeting. Thir- teen instructors were promoted to academic tenure. Vice-President for Academic Affairs Bernard Sagik noted, however, that "W e're still well below our self-imposed quota of tw o- thirds faculty tenure." .See TRUSTEES on page 2 Sr Formal plans Announced Safety and Security Special to The Triangle On Friday, May 15th, the Class of 1987 will hold its Senior Formal. For the past several months, arrangements have been made to present a gala event. This year's formal will be held in the Ballroom of Memorial Hall in Fairmount Park. The copper and glass dome, which rises high above the dance floor, should provide for a dramatic and beautiful atmosphere.

Right to Know Sem inars instruct em ployees Rouse speaks at Nesbitt by Brian Goodman O f The Triangle Amelia Hollinger, Safety and Health Officer of Drexel, sponsored a Right to Know seminar in the Liv- ing Arts Lounge last Wednesday, for representatives of University departments. The conference centered around the Pennsylvania Worker and Communi- ty Right to Know Act, passed in 1984. The act comes on the heels of legisla- tion published on the federal level which was intended to protect employees of chemical manufacturers. The Commonwealth’s law, however, takes the right to know one step fur- ther by guaranteeing the rights of employees working for organizations which do not prixluce chemicals. Holl- inger sees the Right to Know Act as ‘‘consumerism spreading to the workplace” Under the law, information is to be made available to employees and cont- munity residents regarding hazardous substances introduced into the workplace and into the environment by employers. A notice of workers’ rights must be posted and annual train- ing sessions must be made available to employees. Employers must also compile a complete and updated list of all hazardous substances found in the workplace. Two facets of the law which Mrs. Hollinger’s session concentrated on were Material Safety Data Sheets and labels. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS’s) provide detailed informa- tion on chemical substances. They in- clude the chemical or comptiund’s name, any hazardous ingredients, why the chemical is hazardous, and how to use the chemical safely. Labels on containers holding hazar- dous substances listing the name of the contents, levels of warnings, and other types of safety precautions to prevent accidents or injuries due to misuse, are also required by law. "However,” noted Hollinger,"the Right to Know works only when pul to use.” The nearly twenty department representatives in attendance were be- ing trained to return to their respec- tive departments and teach their peers about the Right to Know Act and employees’ rights. Assistance is available to the representatives in the form of two videotaped presentations and a comprehensive information packet compiled by the Safety and Health Officer. To be sure that the representatives would be effective ir, teaching Right to Know concepts. Hollinger was accompanied b) Michael Migliaccio of the Defen.si; Logistic .Agency and Department of Defense. Migliaccio’s primary goal, as Contract Specialist Instructor, is training people how to train other peo- ple. Mr. Migliaccio covered several behavioral patterns as well as teaching methods and how both apply to teaching the Right to Know material. MSDS’s at Drexel University are available in the Office of Safety and Security, 895-1933. Currently, Mrs. Hollinger is doing a physical inven- tory of vendor records in each depart- ment and is steadily computerizing her results. She feels that the University is "definitely well into compliance” with the Pennsylvania law. The extent of the University’s effort can, and most likely will, be checked by a state compliance officer. Such an officer will randomly stop employees and ask them if they know about the Right to Know Act, if they know what MSDS’s are, and if they know how they can get MSDS’s. Mrs. Hollinger’s goal is to have every employee be able to answer these three questions. To underscore this fact, each participant in Wednes- day’s seminar was required to take a reinforcement test before leaving. While results of the tests were unavailable, Hollinger recalled from four previous sessions that few peo- ple missed more than one question each. Though the test was designed tvore for immediate feedback than cognitive evaluation, it was important to reinforce the three critical questions which are most important and most valuable to employees. by Eric LaBorie Of The Triangle Willard Rouse, builder of Libeny Place in center city and director of the We the People 200 commitee, spoke to a crowd of about ICX) people in Stein Hall Wednesday night. Topics of discussion ranged from lobbies to the growth of Chester County. One of the most interesting ideas that came from the talk was Rouse’s philosophy behind office buildings. In the Liberty Place complex. Rouse put most of his thought and interest in the lobby. "People don’t intellectualize about buildings, but they do get feel- ings from their environment,” Rouse noted. He has designed a lobby that he hopes will be sensitive to human emotions by creating a hotel-like set- ting that features a piano and a relax- ing layout to give people a comfortable feeling from the minute they step into the building. The fact is that most building lobbies are cold, drab places and Rouse is working to get away from this trend. He also talked a little about Philadelphia and its future. "Philadelphia is a great city w ith a lot of ptitential,” said Rouse. He explain- ed that after World War II. this city has been climbing to higher levels in the fields of industry , production, and employment. He is excited about be- ing in a city where things are really beginning to happen. There are seseral major building projects going on in conjunction with Libeny Place. Besides Philadelphia. Rouse is in- volved with a number of projects In Chester County. Rouse stated, "Chester is in the process of being raped and quite honestly, we want to be a part of it.” The "rape" is in reference to the land that is being dug up to create space for buildings. When asked why he chose to work on the We The People 2(X) commit- tee, Rouse said that he did it because he couldn’t find anyone else to do the job. But on a more upbeat note, Rouse said that he believes We The People is "an opportunity to change the psychology of the city.”

Various topics discussed at Faculty Meeting

by Joe SaundersO f The Triangle

About seventy five members of Drexel's faculty gathered in Mandell Iheater last Tuesday to meet with President Gaither and top University administrators. Chief among the items on the agenda were Dr. John Sav- chek's report from the Faculty Coun­cil responding to the report of the Ex­ternal Review Board o f October, 1986; progress on the development of an automatic accounting system from Dr. Freddy Gallot, Vice President and Drexel’s Chief Financial Officer; and the establishment of Alumni Clubs on a national basis.

According to Dr. Savchek, the University must ‘‘complete the self- study process” begun by the review panel’s report. Calling the difficulty o f combining liberal arts with scien­tific education one o f the "greatest problems facing American higher education in the latter twentieth cen­tu ry ," Savcheck said the faculty must cultivate University strengths, par­ticularly in the liberal arts.

The vice president also said that consideration must be given to the workloads and course loads of teachers and students and how they affect the performance o f both, for instance.

whether students are required to take too many technical electives that could be replaced simply by co-op ex­perience. “ We may be ready to return to a core arts and scientists cur­riculum,” he declared.

The University library has been "neg lec ted" over past decades, the Council reported, and although a new building was built in the past three years, other activities have been sorely neglected. However, a reciprocal agreement with Bryn M awr College has been recently reached that Savchek called a "m odel for similiar ar­rangements for regional institutions.”

Faculty Council is now considering a new method o f faculty government and increasing the input o f faculty in the decision making processes. "W e do not want to run the university,” Savchek said.

"O u r concern is for the faculty to have input into operations o f the University where it should b e ,” such as budget items and the accounting office.

“ [The Council] is looking forward to a better Drexel, and moving toward that goal which probably no one will achieve in any lifetime. Excellence in Education.”

According to Dr. Freddie Gallot, progress is continuing on the develop-

ment o f a computerized management information system to replace the pre­sent “ unreliable” system which can take up to six weeks to disseminate in­formation to necessary areas.

Phase one of the project, Gallot said, will be the transfer o f charts o f ac­counts from Unicoi, the firm current­ly retained by Drexel to handle ac­counts, to the University’s mainframe computer, a process which should be completed sometime in the summer of this year.

The second phase will include the completion o f the computerized entry system for on line inquiry screens, and the implementation o f a new chart of accounts according to the needs o f the University.

The development o f a national net­work of Drexel alumni clubs was another major item a t the meeting and o f President Gaither’s plans for the future.

" I t [the creation o f alumi clubs] is essential to the financial well-being of the University in the long te rm .”

Gaither noted that the alumni clubs will not simply function as a method of fund-raising which has been the primary reason for contacting alumni before. “ W e, as an administration, owe more to alumni in giving them a way to remain in touch with the University,” he said.

Griffiths Lecture Series continuesSpecial to The Triangle

Dr. Anne Foner, gerontologist and professor o f sociology at Rutgers University, will speak on “ Aging in­to the Future,” at the eighth annual Griffiths Memorial Lecture at Drexel on Wednesday, April 22. The program will be held at 2:30 p.m. in the Mandell Theater. A reception will follow the lecture, which is free of charge and open to the public. WGBS channel 65 and KYW radio will be in attendance to record the lecture for future broadcast.

“ Aging is not just growing old. but a lifelong process,” says Foner. “ It’s important to understand how empirical and theoretical knowledge of aging ap­plies to experiences in everyday life. ”

In her talk, Foner will explore a number o f issues related to aging, in­cluding longevity and health, work and retirement, the family structure, and generational coflicts over social policy.

Foner, who has served on the Rutgers staff since 1969, is a prolific writer and has just completed her latest book Aging and Old Age: Nev^’ Perspectives. She is a member o f the Gerontological Society, the Eastern Sociological Society, and chair-elect of the secton non aging o f the American Sociological Association

The Griffiths Memorial Fund was established in 1977 with a bequest from the late Paul C. Griffiths, a 1976 h on o r g rad u a te o f D re x e l ’s

In a review o f admissions data, a two to three percent increase in the total number of freshman applicants was announced, up eighty-one applica­tions from the same point last year. Through its media advertising and campus relations p rogram s, the University hopes to reach its goal o f 5,000 applicants in 1988.

At the conclusion o f the meeting. President Gaither brought to the atten­tion o f the Trustees two pieces o f cor­respondence he received in response to this year’s tuition increase. Both let­ters presented were written by parents and both were highly critical o f the University’s administrative policy.

Both parents noted, also, that “ the cost o f living index is at its lowest rate in almost twenty years” and that salary increases are commensurate with the index. “ Your latest increase has rais­ed my ire, sir, and I will no longer sit back and tolerate anything less than excellence in all areas o f Drexel University, given the size o f the price tag ,” said one vigilant father.

a b o u t tr ip to N ic a r a g u a

In 1978, one year before the vic­torious Sandinista Front for National Liberation (FSLN) drove him into ex­ile, “ Tacho" Somoza did indeed rule a nation o f oxen. Illiteracy in Nicaragua was 50%; the population of 2.5 million was served by 170 clinics, most of them in the wealthier towns; polio, measles, typhus, and dehydra­tion deaths gave the country one o f the highest infant mortality rates in Cen­tral America. While the average campesino earned $700 per year, Tacho salted away a cool half billion in U.S. banks.

He's a sonofabitch, but he's ours.— FDR, referring to Anastasio Somoza, Sr.

U.S. Marines occupied Nicaragua from 1912 until 1925 and from 1926 until 1933. When they left, driven out, in part, by the courage o f Augusto Sandino and his four hundred followers, the U.S.-trained and -armed National Guard took over the task o f protecting U.S. business interests. Somoza, Sr., head o f the National Guard, had Sandino murdered, depos­ed the country’s elected president, and initiated his family’s rape of the Nicaraguan land and people — all, o f course, with the blessing of the United States.

Come the counterrevolution, there will be bodies from the Honduran border to Managua.— a contra spokesman (Newsweek, Nov., 1982)

In late March, a group o f Drexel faculty members, staffpersons, and students was taken on a tour o f a regional hospital near the town o f Somoto, in northern Nicaragua, 10 km. from the Honduran border. The young doctor who led the tour was proud of his facility, one o f the best equiped in the region. That day there were few patients to be seen — an old man dying of tu))erculosis, an infant being rehydrated — because the con- tras had blown up an electric pylon the night before, cutting off power and water to Somoto.

A North American visitor, familiar with the look o f a modern hospital, noted the lack o f basic medical sup­plies — no respirators, a single ancient microscope in the laboratory, nearly empty medicine cabinets. When ask­ed about the lack of equipment and supplies, the doctor explained that the hospital had received a generous gift of $25,000 from the Swiss government but that the money had to be s|tend to build the bomb shelters and eight-foot high wall that surrounded the facili­ty. The contras, lavishly funded by U.S. tax dollars and, as we now know, by the profits o f arms sales to Iran, have destroyed forty health centers and killed over seven thousand civilians.

The government o f Nicaragua has im­posed a new dictatorship...— Ronald Reagan

The absurdity of the current ad­ministration’s characterization o f Niaragua as a “ totalitarian state” and a “ communist regime” would be laughable were it not for the human sufference obscurred and justified by such charges. The FSLN, elected with

a sixty-seven percent plurality in an election in which seventy-five percent o f the population p ar t ic ip a te , has declared itself the party o f national reconciliation, granted amnesty to somocistas, and left seventy percent o f the land and eighty percent o f the nation’s business in private hands. Visitors to Nicaragua can walk into the headquarters o f the right-wing Social Christian Party in Grenada or the ultra left-wing Marxist-Leninist Party in Esteli. Visitors from Drexel engaged in lively street-comer discussions of politics that were often critical o f San­dinista policies. Government represen­tatives and individuals from the mass organizations admitted in their brief­ings that the government had made mistakes — in land reform, resource allocation, and in the treatment o f in­digenous peoples. North Americans, dulled by political rhetoric and most­ly uninformed about the rest o f the w orld , are u nprepared for the sophistication o f political discussion in Nicaragua. Unfortunately, the U.S. war and economic embargo have

Dr. George Ovitt Guest Column

engendered a seige mentality in M anagua. S ix ty -percen t o f the coutry’s GNP is spent on defense, there are shortages o f raw materials and spare parts, and inflation reached 600% last year. A nation that has declared its intention to be non-aligned is being fo rced into econom ic dependence on the Eastern bloc. The U.S. has rejected negotiations based on the Contadora proposals and has continued to step up its war o f terror on the people o f Nicaragua. Honduras, bursting at the seams with U.S. military personnel and hardware, is at this moment the scene o f the annual p rovoca tions that Reagan calls “ maneuvers.” When one considers that, with the exception o f the char- nal house known as El Salvador, every Central American country is either a U.S. client and/or a garrison state, h y s te r ia ab o u t N ic a ra g u a ’s “ destabilizing” o f the region seems to be the purest hypocrisy.

I f their consciences had not become dulled by their scramble fo r wealth, Americans would not so easily forget the lesson that, soon' or later, every nation, however vwt tk, achieves freedom, and that e. try abuse o f power hastens the desi ruction o f the one who wields it.— Augusto Sandino, /2B.

The shop steward in the largest machine-tool facility in Managua ask­ed the visitors from Drexel to carry a message o f peace and reconciliation back to North America. But he also said that 300,000 Nicaraguans stood ready to defend their revolution, my personal hope during this week of seasonal renewal and reflection is that no more o f my companeros in Nicaragua will be killed by contra ter­ror and that none o f my young friends and students will be asked to fight in Nicaragua. Like the Nicaraguans themselves, I have little hope that this wish will be granted.

Alright, you knew that there would be some people who would not par­ticularly love the April Fools issue of The Triangle, some people who would feel slighted, there always are. With this in mind let’s skip back to last w eek’s letters to the editor section. The letter from Mr. Joblin deserves a realistic reply. I knew from my first day here at Drexel that this was a “ Family” school. Here are a few of the heartwarming tales that make me so “ comfortable” here;

Let’s start with Freshman year. There I was, new to center city, new to the school and facing a small pro­blem, the registrar had scheduled me to stay down late for one class. No problem, here in college you can change your schedule, but not at Drex­el, they don’t process "convenient” changes, guess that means that part time job to help with expences (what an inconvenience!).

Moving from the administration to the faculty, I had the good fortune to hear one o f my professors proclaim: “ I don’t know how to use the PCAP,

that’s your problem.” At another time I was entertained in class for a week and a half with a discussion of where freddy the frog will jum p, and like most Drexel classes, we didn’t cover everything on the syllabus, you can bet that material showed up on the final.

And thanks to our brothers and sisters in the microcomputer office 1 am not typing this on an antiquated machine, that’s right, the upgrades have finally been delivered (by the way, I love the family spirit o f the in­voice).

In short 1 have experienced an un­caring administration, a downright ARROGANT faculty, and a support group that hasn’t been very suppor­tive. I cannot wait until 1 am refered to as a son o f Drexel University, once removed.

Mac Mix-up

Editor;

I am writing this letter to let the en­

tire Drexel community know about the major disk screwup that happened dur­ing MacFair II last Saturday. It seems to me that most o f the people who visited Korman to copy public domain software during MacFair II now know that the disks are “ unreadable” . It turns out that a simple mistake made by the DUsers blew up into a major disaster. The problem is unusual: All the disks made in the two Korman co­pying rooms cannot be read by,400K drives although they were copied as 400K disks. The disks will only work in 800K drives.

From what I heard, the master disks the DUsers had were 8(X)K disks with the new file system (HFS) on them. They went to Korman to check out the Macs in the two classrooms on the se­cond floor. They found 512K Mcas in both rooms. The big mistake: they d idn’t notice that these Macs were 512Ke’s. These Macs had the new RO M ’s and the 800K drives. On Saturday morning, the DUsers ran 400K copying software designed for the older 512’s on all the machines. Since the software was written before HFS bacame public, all the disks got

initialized as MFS disks. However, the actual formatting routine is built into the ROMs. Since these Macs had 800K drives and the new RO M ’s, the disks have an 800K flavor to them, and that’s why the older disk drives don’t like them.

I have been able to duplicate the pro­blem myself on my 512Ke. To get back the files on your disks, you must find a Mac with an 8(X)K drive, either a 512Ke or a Mac Plus. Using the finder, initialize a fresh disk as a 4(X) single- sided disk, and then copy everything from the original disk. Erase the original disk when the co­pying is done. It will take a lot o f time and patience, but the fact that these disks are a mixed format require it. The large Macintosh cluster on the first floor o f Korman has some 5 12Ke Macs. I hope that everybody can con­vert their disks so they can run all the great software that was distributed.

Hope you all liked my “ column” last week - for my first time through schedule change, “ living nightmare” is an appropriate title.

More interestingly, however, was the recent occurance in the creese Stu­dent Center that ran much better than Tally Control could ever hope for - Horizons M acFair ][.

For those who attended, you know how well the event went. The Grand Hall was set up with over 30 developers and companies to show new products for the Macintosh com ­puter. In the lobby o f Creese, Apple Inc. was displaying tlie new Macintosh SE and the Macintosh II. Also, there were over $15,000 worth of door prizes being drawn. Finally, there was a booth for selling shirts and mugs, a booth for selling pre-formatted BOOK disks just chocked full o f Public Do­main software (which are still on sale at the D U sers o f f ic e , 3026 MacAlister), an area set up for Drex­el Macintosh information, and lectures and demonstrations going on all day long.

More important than all this were the people hidden behind the glitz; those dedicated individuals who, after very little sleep, managed to run this pandemonium in an organized fashion.

Let’s start with me. Dave Dubin and I worked the Information Desk, and I don’t think I will ever get lost on campus again. I pointed in so many directions and told so many people where to go I felt like a traffic cop try­ing to get a family of ducks across 1-95. But, with the help o f Mr. Dubin, I made it through the day. Thanks, Dave, but you’re still an F. H.

Many thanks to go to a thankless job o f security, headed by Joe Casadonte and Donna Bowers, with very special help from Dominic Pirocchi. All three did excellent jobs at keeping order (what little order there was). The ques'- tion remains, however, as to who were the diplomats and who were the brawn. Personally, when 1 had a pro­blem, I called Donna.

A Lutton for Punishment

by A lan L u tto n

Next we have a man who almost never sat down on the job , Frank Jac- quette, who worked the PD Copying Facilities at Korman Center. Only a complete idiot with no brains what­soever would take such a stupid, de­meaning, tedious ... wh(H)ps! ... ’nuff said.

Doug Mueller, thought to be all thumbs until he cut one of them off slicing nametags, handled the Exhibi­tion end of this bash. Only someone with a lot o f patience could handle all those developers whining about not having an extension cord for their Mac, or complaining about not hav­ing enough time to prepare. Great job, Doug.

O ur “ Master of Ceremonies” for the prize drawings was Art Cohen. Granted, the drawings were pretty boring, but Art made a great effort to spruce them up a bit by getting Mac­Fair attendees to do the drawings, add a little chatter, and so on. Announc­ing the address of the winner of the

Mac SE over the PA, however, was downright dangerous. And what ex­actly is Lab View, Art?

The “ Person to Last the Longest Without a Break Without Complain­ing” goes to just about everyone, but I happened to notice Bryan Chamock, who worked the PD Exchange. When asked “ Have you had a break yet to­day?” , he had to think about it before saying “ N o .” But he was the first one to get one o f those spiffy little red security caps, so that makes up for it, right, Bryan?

Let us not forget Chuck Stack, who overlooked the entrance operations to MacFair. For those who attended the fair and did not receive an addendum to the program, we finally found them. You can pick them up in the DUsers office.

Christine Axsmith ran the seminar portion o f this little shindig. She had a lot o f problems with lecturers not be­ing on time, and some not even show­ing up. Christine, however, could not be reached for comment (or to be put to work) the morning of MacFair.

Many thanks are extended to Videt)grapher Seth Grenald, who film­ed “ M acFair |[: The Movie, The Madness, The M ess.” There were some mistakes, however, with the film. There was just too much o f The Most Boring Developer in the World, Donna is going to kill you, Christine putting on her makeup is not a very endearing sight, and the language in the film (from the cameraman himself, I might add) might take the rating up to an ‘R ’, but other than that, it was a great job. "W e represent the Lollipop G u ild .. .”

Finally, we have to give the biggest ‘thank-you’ to the two co-ordinators of the fair; Mr. Steve “ Supreme Com­m ander” Weintraut and Ms. Denise “ Nightingale” Walls. You guys did more than just organize this mess; you made it. Neither one could be reach­ed all day during the fair because they were too busy running around, work­ing their buns off, and trying to keep themselves and the people around them sane. Great job, guys, and everyone at the DUsers says “ Bt)uncer could have done a better job, but y ou’re much friendlier! Thanks from the bottom of our Vanna-drive!”

Let’s not forget the people who went almost nameless at the fair, but who will be named here; Martin Cohen, Lisa Gelb, Mike Thomas, Scott Brown, Stephanie M ardon, Amy Lotofsky, Sue Shoemaker, and Gail Millstein. A special ‘get well .soon’ wish goes out to Bill Miller, who, when told to “ break u leg” at the fair, did so literally. Thanks to all that helped out.

All in all, a great effort by everyone, and a big success for the DUsers and Drexel in general. Once again, thanks to everyone!

So, when’s the next one?Okay, so I ’m a Tweetybird, so

what?

Alan Lutton is a recent addition to the DUsers, after leaving his position at The Triangle as News Editor after Brian threatened his life. A Lutton for Punishment appears whenever Eric says it can.

Michael J. Fox’s films seem to make money no matter how bad they are and this film seems to be no exception. In his fourth film, Michael J. Fox plays a country boy (Brantley Foster) who comes to make it big in New York. In the few days that this film has been out, there have been lines over one city block long waiting to see this film. It’s not worth the wait.

Brantley comes to N.Y. with a job offer and plans to succeed, but on his fii^t day he finds out that the company has been taken over and Brantley finds himself out on the street. He then gets a job in the mailroom of a huge cor­poration run by his Uncle Howard. Brantley, determined to become a cor­porate executive, occupies the office o f a recently fired executive and just assumes his duties. The other ex­ecutives never heard o f him but when Brantley tells everyone h e’s a new

hire, they accept him.This movie suffers from many pro­

blems. We never know what the com­pany does and the executives don't seem to know either. The movie as a whole doesn’t seem to go anywhere or say anything. It’s not a satire on climbing the corporate ladder or even a lampoon o f the cut-throat business world. The movie just relies on the ap­peal of Michael J. Fox, which would be the only reason to see this film, and nothing else. That very same appeal can be seen every Thursday night on Family Ties because Brantley Foster is a one-dimensional Alex Keaton.

The Secret o f my Success was writ­ten by the people responsible for the scripts of Top Gun and Legal Eagles. This would explain why the plot is so superfical because neither Top Gun nor Legal Eagles were very intense and this movie keeps the tradition going.

Since Brantley officially works in the mailroom he still has to deliver

mail. When he’s done with his route he has to change clothes in the elevator in order to become an executive. Be­ing an executive allows him to see Christie (Helen Slater) who is at the same time having an affair with U n­cle H oward. Brantley has also unknowingly had and affair with his aunt. The whole movie is completely unbelievable which would be fine if it was funny. But the movie really doesn’t work too well as a comedy, despite the comedic talents of Fox, and the implausibility of the firm makes the situation even worse.

The Secret o f My Success is hopeful­ly the end of the line for Michael J. Fox’s current decline in film roles. He is not only a funny actor, but a very competent one as well and deserves better roles, nut just by-products of his role on Family Ties. This movie manages to be mildly entertaining only because of Fox, but isn’t worth the $5 admission price or the city block long lines. Wait for the video to come out.

TopGun I986's biggest hit finally hits hom e video w ith an un- precedentedly low price tag: $26.95. Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis star in this talc of the best Navy fighter pilots competing for the title “ Top G un ." Set to a pulsating riKk beat, the movie zips along, courtesy of some of the m ost im p ress iv e ae ria l photography ever filmed. The Hi-Fi Stereo soundtrak tops some movie houses’ sound systems and very little is lost in the transfer from a wide movie screen onto a square T.V. screen. Oscar winner for best song (“ Take My Breath A way"). (PG/KW mins./1986) ★ ★ ★ ★

Aliens The powerhouse sequel to I 9 7 9 ’s Alien a lso fea tu res a powerhouse price tag; a whopping $89.95, a new price trend many video companies are begining to follow. Nevertheless, Aliens was not a wide screen movie in the theater, so nothing is lost in its transition to home video, except of course the size o f the screen on which It is shown. It’s every bit as exciting and scary as it was in the movies, and, once again, the Hi-Fi Stereo soundtrack makes for an ex­perience that equals that o f seeing it in a movie house. O.scar nominee for Sigourney Weaver (best actress) and Oscar winner for visual effects (R/137 m ins./1986)* ★ ★ ★

The Fly David Cronenberg, the man behind Scanners and The Dead Zone, directed this story o f a scientist, Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), who ac­cidently fuses his genes with those of a house fly. What follows is a slow, extremely graphic transformation as Brundle becomes "B rund le fly ." As gross as the movie gets though, it never loses its sense of humor. Just don’t watch it after dinner if you have a weak stomach. Also stars Geena Davis (Goldblum’s real-life squeeze). It just won an Oscar for make-up ef­fects, too. (R/96 m ins./l986) ★ ★ ★

Stand by Me The best adaptation of a Stephen King story isn’t even a hor­ror movie. Instead, it’s a moving, tender tale about four kids in 1959 Oregon who go searching for the dead body of a boy their age. It’s based on K ing’s “ The Body” but goes much further. I t’s the kind of movie that doesn’t come around too often and, thankfully, it didn’t go unnoticed late last summer. It went on to become one o f the bigge.st hits o f the fall season. This movie al.so features a terrific so un d track . (R /9 0 in in s . / l9 8 6 ) ★ ★ ★ ★

About Last Night Rob L.owe and Demi Moore star in this drama about two successful people who meet for a one night stand but then decide that they really like each other. The pro­blem is that they’re afraid to commit themselves. They continue their rela­tionship, however and eventually move in together, much to the dismay of each of their best friends (James Belushi and Elizebeth Perkins). Rob Lowe finally proves that he can act, Demi Moor is looking—and a c t in g - better than ever, and both Belushi and Perkins give respectable perfor­mances. The performances, the .script and an effective musical soundtrack make for a realistic, often funny look at falling in love and making committ­ments. (R/113 m ins./l986) * * ★

Soul Man C, Thomas Howell and Rae Dawn Chong star in this comedy about a white college grad who passes himself off as being black so that he may receive a full scholarship to Har­vard Law School. There are many fun­ny bits but the movie often goes too far in the treatment of its subject. Many found the movie to be harmless fun; others found it to be racist. You be the Judge. Notwithstanding racial undertones though, Soul Man is a light, enjoyable movie. (P G -I3/I0I m ins./l986) ★ ★ '/j

Ferris Rueller's Day O//'Matthew Broderick stars as Ferris Bueller in John Hughe's (Breakfast Club. Weird Science) biggest hit yet. Close to graduation, Ferris fakes sick and decides to play h(xiky with his girl and with his best friend, a la a borrowed I960 Ferrari. Evading the authorities (the principle who's bent on keeping Ferris in high school, a bitchy si.ster who wants to see her brother get caught this time, and his .sweet parents who are so gullible they can’t help but to be taken advantage ol), Bueller pro­ceeds to enjoy the day off with his friends. Great fun, and not much plot to burn you brain. (P G -I3 /I03 n iins./l986) ★ ★ ★ '/2

Lef>al Eagles The best part about this complicated legal comedy/drama is the romantic relationship between its stars, Robert Redford and Debra Winger. The plot, about a bizzare art theft involving murder is just too in­tricate for what otherwise should have been a light romantic comedy. The follow-up to Ghosthusters by director Ivan Retiman. Also starring Daryl Hannah and Brian Dennehy. (P G /116 mins./1986) -k-kVi

Ruthless People Danny Devito, Bette Midler and Judge Reinhold star in this zany black comedy from the directors o f Airplane and Top Secret. Sam Stone hates his wife. Barbara, so he plans to kill her. However, his plans are interrupted when she is kid­napped. Crying tears o f joy over the thought o f never having to see “ the corpulent squealing toad" again, Sam refuses to pay the ransom and does everything possible to make sure the kidnappers ice her!

Tough Guys Having been in prison for thirty years after robbing a train, Harry and Archie (Burt Lanca.ster and Kirk Douglas), now senior citizens, have a rough time adjusting to the eighties when they’re released. The new world of chicken McNuggets, M(xlern Women and new wave music catches them off gaurd, to say the least. Coming to the conclusion that they will never fit in properly, they decide to go back to their old ways of the fifites—by robbing another train! Gcxxl fun from the director of Revenge o f the Nerds.

Because the past restaurant reviews which I’ve done were of remote places, I was requested by some to critique area restaurants which maybe Drexel students can try. One which ap­pealed to me was Margaritas owned by Mr. Robert Patel on Chestnut Street just past 40th.

Mind you, it was not my first time there to experience an ice cold pitcher of margaritas. I was interested, however, in finding out if the food at Margaritas is as Mexican and palatable as Chi-Chi’s. O f course no one can ex­pect so much considering, first of all the location of Margaritas, and second of all, the customers it receives. In fact, if Margaritas was not given a license to serve liquor, the place would probably be losing money rather than making it.

I give credit to Margaritas to some o f the dishes served. I was especially pleased to see both American and Mexican dinners on the menu. My ears were unexpectedly awakened when hearing the sound o f a sizzling entree call Frajitas. This was a choice chicken or steak marinated and serv­ed with vegetables and a salad for $7.95. They also had a variety of en­chiladas with a special assortment of- mixers, like beans or even seafood.

I was disappointed with my choice o f Mexican food, which had an in­credible resemblance to my partner’s selection. My entremeses (appetizer) was called a Quesadilla. I call it a treat to a Nicaraguan civilian. Their side orders were limited to refried pinto beans, rice, three different kinds of tortillas, and guacamole. My partner had asked for more water and I need­ed more sauce for my combination planer of a chimichanga, a tostada, and a taco, all of which needed some kind o f spicy sauce. Twice we asked for service and later I found out that my food was supposed to remain greasy and bland. Postres (desserts) were sur­prisingly appealing and included my favorite, sopapillas, tortilla chips covered with cinnamon and sugar.

One suggestion o f improvement for margaritas is to establish a systemiz- ed medium for the waitresses. Perhaps to provide a standard uniform or even a shirt for them. Also arrange the

tables so that the customers can sit comfortably and they can be served without problems. Another thing is to expand the American inenu so that it’s not restricted to just hamburgers. Despite how foreigners feel about the average American diet, there are many of us who watch what we eat, myself not included.

Most importantly, and this cannot be stressed enough, a pitcher of margaritas must be reduced back to its original $14.

Continuing in the great tradition of jazz violin Columbia records has released ... the great tradition of jazz violin? Admittedly there are a few practitioners of jazz violin such as Stuff Smith, Jean Luc-Ponty, and Stephane Grappelli (who played with the late, great Gypsy guitarist Django Rheinhardt), but this is hardly an in- .strument the average listener would associate with jazz. Now there is a new entry into this not-so-crowded field.

Sonya Robinson has played violin for seventeen years, starting as a ela.ssical player. She got her B.A. in Music at the University o f Miami, moving on to the University of Wisconsin for her masters degree. In addition she was Miss Black America for 1983-1984.

At the tender age of twelve years old Robinson was exposed to jazz through the incredible talents of Philadelphia saxophonist John Coltrane, although her early music training was classically oriented due to the inability (or unwill­ingness) of the school systems to sup­port jazz music. Other influences on her playing style include Joe Hender­son and master trum peter^iles Davis, but she cites violinist Stuff Smith as her most important influence. Some of Robinson’s credits include perfor­m ances with C huck M angione, Richard Davis, Wayne Newton, and

her talent were brought to the atten­tion of record company magnates at Columbia, with whom she signed. Her first a l b u m , w a s recorded dur­ing the sum m er o f 1986, and represents an interesting cross-section of different styles and mmjds. The use o f a violin as the primary solo instru­ment is an interesting departure from most other new jazz releases, and Robinson’s virtuosity makes it that much better. While her phrasing is often very similar to that of a sax­ophone or trumpet player the sound is undoubtedly that of the traditional violin. Robinson eschews any ft)rni of electric violin, feeling that the tone ju.st isn’t go<xi enough. She does however use a pickup rather than a microphone, and runs through an old Fender Vibrolux amplifier.

Sonya is an impressive debut effort by a great new artist. From hopping tunes like Sky Blue and Hidden Talents to slower songs like Valley o f the Kings and Odyssey under the Sun this album features uniformly excellent playing and composition. Sonya Robinson should have no worries about her choice of profession, and hof)efully we will hear much more from her in the future.

The final problem with the Phils is John Felske. Granted, managers don’t hit or pitch or field, and they usually take blame when it’s not due, but Felske just diK'sn’t have a pennant in him. His lackluster, by-the-Nwk style of managing stitles the Phils. Felske manages by not managing. The Phils rarley steal bases, despite having three potential 40-plus base stealers in Milt Thomp.son. Juan Samuel, and#Von Hayes. Even less often do the Phils hit and run (which is a mystery, seeing as Hayes. Mike Schmidt, and Easier, who hit behind Thom pson and Samuel, all handle the bat quite well), and Felske hasn’t called for the suicide squeeze in ages. In short, Felske's managerial philosophy is not to try to win, but to try not to lose. His moves seem to lack thought.

The Phillies are a gtxxi ballclub, and they will win their fair share of games this season, but a pennant will only come if the team settles down and plays every inning o f every game with the fire-in-the-eyes intensity that leads to championships.

The Pliiliidclphia Phillies hciiilcd north two weeks ago w iih their sights set on big things. This was to be the Phillies' year: a fast start, a strong summer, and a stretch drive to the pennant.

So w hat's happening'.’ As ol Wednesday night, the Phils' were 1-7. The juggernaut that was to make up 21'/i games and fmish ahead ot the Mets in the Nl. I'ast ean't beat its way out of a wet paper bag. With I.‘>4 games left to play, it 's way too early to throw in the towel, but it 's not too early to ask some questions and look for some reasons for the Phillies' dismal start.

The most obvious reason tor the Phils slow start is their pitching staff.

or lack thereof. So far, both the star- tmg staff and the bullpen have been consistently shelled. Certainly, the Phils will score a lot o f runs this season, bi t the hurlcrs have to keep the games close. In succession. Kevin Ciross. Joe Cowley, Shane Rawley. Don Camian, and Bruce Ruffin allow­ed the opposition to score in the top of the first inning. Trailing by at least one run in each of the first five home games before the leadoff batter gels to the plate is no way to get the season off on a winning note.

Further adding to the trouble is the inconsistency of the bullpen. Rookie Mike Jackson is pitching exceptional baseball (2-2/3 pcrfect innings against the M ets T u e sd a y ) , and Dan Schatzeder has turned in several de­cent outings. On the other hand. Kent lek u lve has been hit hard, and Tom

2) VN’ho were the last two pitchers to be named co-winners of the Na­tional League Rookie-of-the-'>'ear award? Score points for each cor­rect answer.

3) Who holds the major league record for most gopher balls thrown in a season, and how man\ did he serve up'? Score 7 points for the cor­rect pitcher and 3 more tor the number he allowed. If you don't know what a gopher haW is. subtract 5 from your .score.

4) In what three seasons did .Major League baseball feature a nine game World Series?

5) What team featured the fabled and famous double play combo of Tinker to Evers to Chance?

6) Jackie Robinson was the first Black to play professional baseball in the nnxlem era. He was not. however, the first Black to be offered a .Major League contract. Who was the first Black to be ottered a Major League contract (he turned it down thinking

Hume can't get anyone out, .Steve Bedrosian is a mystery. One day Babe Ruth couldn't hit him. the next he gives up three runs with two out in the top of the ninth, nevertheless going on to pick up the only win of the season in the tenth. Whatever the trouble, the pitching has to get itself together, especially with Wally Ritchie and Mike Maddux waiting in the wings.

Problem number two is defense. Over the first eight games of the season, the Phils have committed 10 errors (and could have as many as 13 if it weren't for charitable scoring). Poor pitching is bad enough, but cou­ple that with one or two errors a game and you've just spelled trouble. The defensive woes seem to come more from a lack of concentration than anything else. Fortunately for the Phils, mental errors don't show up in the box score.

Trouble number three is the Phils' inability to hold runners on base, Lance Parrish, despite his dismal start, is one of the best catchers in baseball, Nevenheless, the opptisition has stolen 16 con.secutive bases. Parrish could mount a cannon on his shoulder and he still wouldn't be able to throw out a runner who has taken four strides before the pitcher lets go of the ball.

Hello, sportsfans. For better or for worse. Out ofBimiuls is back. I'm go­ing to take this opportunity to talk about a number of things.

First of all. my apologies for the abscence of any Drexel sports news this week. I've been out of town tak­ing care of sotne pressing personal concerns, and just haven't had much time. However, this sort of thing could be avoided if I had some more help. If you enjoy sports and don't mind teling other people about it. slop by and join the beleaguered sports staff. If you play for a Drexel team, send sotnelhing over: articles, info, fads and figures—anything that might be newsworthy. Most of all. stay tuned for plenty of DU sports stories next Friday,

Now I'd like to talk about the cheap seats. This is my third year in Philadelphia, and thus my third Phillies season as a regular attendee. In all three years. I 've only bought reserved seats on four or five occas- sions (in approximately 40-50 trips to the Vet), It’s just not worth the price. Why spend eight or nine dollars to sit downstairs when the cheap seats are only four bucks? The game looks just the same all the way up top. only a lit­tle smaller. The only other drawbacks are the lack of vendors and the long hike getting up there.

The pluses far outw eigh the minuses. Down in the lower deck, you

have a tendency to find a lot ol families of four and patrons (I hesitate to use the word fan) who are waiting for the Phils to score a touchdown. The fans yell th ing s like " O h f id ­dlesticks.’’."Ciee Whiz Dad. the Phils are los ing ," , and “ Shoot, I left the hoagies in the ca r ," The general ad­mission section is where you can find the real baseball fans. They say things like "W hat do you mean out—if you had one more eye. y»)u'd be a cyclops." "Y o. beer m an." and "Hey F e lske . w hen did ya get the labotomy?" In the lower deck, they worry about running out of iced tea. getting a suntan, and getting stuck in traffic after the game. Upstairs, the fans worry about getting the runner in­to scoring position, laying down a good bunt, and any ground ball hit toward Juan Samuel,

Furthermore, the people up top are great fun. Who wants to sit around with a bunch o f yuppies when you could pal around with the bleacher bums? There’s nothing quite like sit­ting around at a ballgame di.scus.sing strategy, making predictions, sharing stats, and playing trivia with complete strangers. If you’ve never tried the general admission section, you just don’t know what you’re missing.

How about those Sixers. I wonder if Harold Katz had all this in mind when he made all of those whirlwind deals before the season. Let’s think

back and evaluate them with 20-20 hindsight,

Moses Malone, 'Ferry Catledge. and a draft Choice for Cliff Robinson and JeffRuland. Hmm. Ruland played all of about 10 games and may never play again , and Robinson has been hampereil all season by an assortment of injuries. Meanwhile. Moses is still Moses, One for the Bullets,

Brad Dougherty for Roy Hinson, Hmm, Dougherty, although not a force in the league by any means, has played well for Cleveland, forming part of a young nucleus which includes Hot-Rod Williams. John Baglcy. and Chuck Persons, They’ll be around for a lot of years, Hinson has shown flashes of brilliance, but has had some injury trouble and a lot of trouble put­ting the ball in the net. One for the Cavaliers,

Clem Johnson and a draft pick for Tim McCormick and Danny Vranes, Okay. Harold. Nice job on this one. McCormick has blossomed into a fine center, and will only get better as scxjn as the Sixers get someone else who can give him a little rest, Vranes has played well in a reserve role. One (finally) for the Sixers,
