Drinking Demonstration
by Bill Rein
The purpose was to educate the DVC
community about the legal aspects of
drinking and driving in an effort to en-
courage responsible behavior. ST. FA.
— our Student Task Force on Alcohol —
sponsored a live demonstration of drink-
ing and its effects, Tuesday, in the Stu-
dent Center Snack Bar. The results were
literally "sobering."
Members of the Pennsylvania State
Police Alcohol Task Force presented this
event in which participants — three stu-
dents and three DVC staff members —
were to consume a specified amount of
alcohol for one hour (from approximately
11:15-12:15). Each person (all were
over 21) signed waivers and was assigned
a monitor who noted the drinker's be-
havior throughout the demonstration.
To begin, each "drinker" was given an
initial blood pressure check by Mrs. Wad-
dington, the nurse who was on hand at
all times, and each signed a blackboard
for comparison with handwriting, while
intoxicated, later on. Around 11:45,
some visible effects started to show.
There was a lot of laughing and by 12:^
everyone in the Snack Bar could not
help but notice some boisterous behav-
ior, which was quickly noted by the
monitors. However, there were also
many not-so-visible effects which were

revealed by some testing done by Mrs.
Waddington and the State Troopers.
One drinker's blood pressure jumped a
full 16 points. A breathalyzer test revealed
another drinker, at the end of the "ab-
sorption hour" (one hour without alcohol
for full blood absorption of alcohol) . had
a blood alcohol level of approximately
.15 percent. That's .05 higher than the
amount which makes it illegal to drive —
that is, "legally drunk." One of the most
noticeably affected drinkers flunked two
coordination -balance tests. It makes you
wonder how he would react in a driving
emergency.

WELCOME APO
On Saturday, March 31, the Delaware
Valley College Chapter of APO Sigma
Nu would like to extend a welcome to its
brothers for the 1984 Sectional 91 and
92 Conference.
A part of the campus since 1%7,
Alpha Phi Omega's work on the campus
can be well noted. Our founding princi-
ple of leadership, friendship, and service
have been adequately met over the yearsa
The Radio station, then WAPO, now
WDVC was started by the brothers; they
provided all the equipment and made its
operation easy to turn over to the school
once it was a success. Another service is
'the semester book drives; the brothers
assist in helping everyone to the coffee
and donut tables. The biggest service to
the campus is the operation of the used
bookstore which is in the process of be-
ing moved to a more convenient location
and will be collecting books shortly. .
APO's off campus project is a trip exh
semester to Ockinickon Scout Reserva-
tion where the brothers spend the week-
end cleaning, repairing, painting, and
even building. The brothers also bring
laughter in the world by singing Christmas
carols at some of the local nursing
homes. This year's big project is the sec-
tional conference mentioned earlier over
this weekend. Close to 100 fraternity
brothers will arrive to the Del Val campus
for a day of meetings, workshops, and
activities.
Anyone interested in joining APO
should see Edward Wengryn in Samuel

Dear Editor
I would like to comment on the letter
by Fred Siegfried {Rampages, March 15,
1984). Mr. Siegfried says he did not write
"to talk about issues," but inevitably he
has done just that, and thus has said
things which need clarification. For ex-
ample, he suggests that if people receive
spiritual instruction from any source out-
side scripture then they are "watering
down their faith." But many Christians
believe that the teaching of the church
are also a valid source of truths which in-
tensify their faith, not dilute it. On the
same lines, Mr. Siegfried claims that
church "doctrine does get in the way of
learning about God's plan of salvation."
This, again, is an offense to those of us
who accept and love church doctrine as
part of His plan.
Another troubling statement is the
writer's claim that "the Bible never men-
tions a church that will save you, only
Jesus Christ who is God's gift." But how
does one attain salvation except through
membership in the church, which was
founded for precisely that end? It is point-
less to try to separate church from
founder, or Bible from church.
it is also pointless to put the word reli-
gious inside mocking quotation marks
(as if to suggest unreality or negativity),
as Mr. Siegfried did. Why attack people's
religious background and their traditions?
This only rends the seamless garment.
Finally, he says, "sharing the gospel is
what this letter is all about." Would that it
were so; however, "sharing the gosf)el"
te not always the same thing as the gospel.
If it were, then how explain sincere dif-
ferences of interpretation? It was the
church, under divine inspiration, which
gave us the Bible when, at the Council of
Carthoge in 395 A.D., it decided which
books would make up the Old and New
Testaments, and which would not.
Sincerely Yours,
Edward O'Brien. Jr.
Special
Summer Course
The course entitled "Agronomic Crop
Production" will be offered for the second
year during the first Summer Session —
May 21 to June 29, 1984. The course
will provide "in season " experience in all
farming op>erations, from seedbed prep-
aration to harvesting. While the course
includes lecture presentation, the em-
phasis is on practical experience, espe-
cially field experience.
The course is a three semester credit
course. For certain majors, with the ap-
proval of the respective Department
Chairman, the student mai; be able to
substitute it for one semester credit
-Emplo\;ment Program (V4 of the total
requirement) .
The schedule for the summer will be:
12:30 - 4:30 P.M.
5:30 - 8:30 P.M.
each Tuesday and Thursday;
An additional 3-hour "Help" session
will be scheduled during each week on a
need basis.
The maximum number of students will
be limited to no more than 12. Should
enough students regi^er, a second group
will be scheduled on Mondai;s and
Wednesday's at the same times.
We strongly advise anyone interested
in farming, especially those lacking in farm-
ing experience, to take advantage of this
course and register for it.

Shakespeare Comedy
at VlUanova
Villanova Theatre will present William
Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer
Night's Dream April 3-7 and 10-14. All
performances take place at 8 P.M. in
Vasey Theatre on the Villanova Univer-
sity campus. William Hunter Shephard
will direct. Call 645-7474 for information.
A Midsummer Night's Dream is a ma-
gical comdey of love and transformation.
A motley crew of mortals travels into a
enchanted forest — some to elope, some
to rehearse a play. Supernatural pranks
lead to sudden changes in affection, and
soon all are lost in hilarious confusion.
The alluring Titania finds herself enamored
of an ass named Bottom, Helena finds
herself pursued by everyone, and the
devilish Puck looks on in amusement.
Director Shephard, a faculty member
in Villanova's Department of Theatre,
was a founding member of Richards
Schechner's renowned Performance
Group, with whom he appeared as Pen-
theus in the history- making New York
production of Dioni;sus in 69. Drawing
on his extensive background in innovative
theatre, Shephard will transform the
Vasey space into an environment for ac-
tors and audience, utilizing platforming
and trapezes to create an exhilarating
athletic interpretation of Shakespeare's
play. An integral part of the production
will be an original electronic score by
Philadelphia composer David Schoen-
bach, whose amazing "bio-feedback
music" technique turns the performer's
body into a musical instrument.
Performances will be given Tuesdays
through Saturdays. Tickets are $5.00
Tuesdays through Thursdays and $6.00
on Fridays and Saturdays, with group
rates and student and senior citizen dis-
counts available. Free parking is located
directly across from the theatre on Lan-
caster Avenue. The campus is within
walking distance of the Villanova stations
of the Paoli Local and Nonistown High-
Speed Line.
CHEMISTRY
The Chemistry Department invites stu-
dents interested in Chemistry or related
fields to hear Dr. James V. Derby, I.R.I.
visiting scienctist. Sj^eak on the topic "A
Chemist Role in Industrial Research and
Development," on Tuesday, April 3.
9:30 to 11:15 a.m. in room 201 in the
Student Center. Our program is desig-
nated to stimulate your interest as well as
to feed the inner man: therefore, refresh-
ments will be served.
Dr. Cferby's talk will discuss job require-
ments for industry and the type of work
required and is designed to help students
in job hunting after graduation.
Don't miss this opportunity to further
your education and ask questions of a
practicing professional chemist.
MOVIE REVIEW:
^Against All Odds"
by Jamie Beck
This movie, depicting a romantic tri-
angle about two men and a woman, is
similar to the 1947 movie, "Out of the
Past."
As the story develops, we find that an
aging football player (Jeff Bridges) is
hired by a Los Angeles club owner
(James Woods) to find his ex-girlfriend
(Rachel Ward), who, by the way, is the
daughter of the owner of Bridges' football
team. Her mother and her stepfather are
involved in a real estate scheme that
leads to murder.
If this seems confusing, it is. But,
"Again^ All Odds" is an enjoyable movie
with brilliant Mexican scenery as the
backdrop.
Bridges finds the girl; will he give her
back to the club owner or to her mother?
O, better yet. will be keqD her for himself?
To find out the answer to this question
and more, see "Again^ All Odds"
Hypnotism & ES.P.
on Campus
by Jamie Beck
Hypnotist John Kollsch performed at
the Student Center's All- Purpose Room
on Tuesday March 13, 1984.
One is not born with the powers of
E.S.P. and hypnotism, one acquires
them. Mr. Kolisch has been conversing
with doctors about the powers since he
was young. He said that these powers
were viewed medically until the mid '60's
and they were not considered as enter-
tainment before that time. Hypnotism
was and still is used in criminal cases,
sports, and for conquering individual
fears.
Artistic people are often the easiest to
hypnotize since they use the right side of
their brain. People usually use more of
either the right side or the left side of their
brain. Those who use more of the left
side have a more logical type of thinking,
while people who use the right side are
moi0^ imaginative.
Mr. Kolisch used to perform in night
clubs, but now he usually performs at
conventions and colleges. He performs
at 120 colleges each year.
The audience seemed to enjoy itself
immensely, and I think that everyone
had a good time.
Dear Editor
This letter is in regard to an article about
the St. Patrick's Day dance on March 10.
First of all, the band's name was Jahil.
not Luxury. They were an excellent
band whose sound was popular New
Wave and quite danceable. They played
three excellent sets, even though they
were quite disappointed by the turnout
and misbilled. Let us give credit where
credit is due!
Secondly, there were in no way sixty
people at the dance — not at one time
anyway. Once again, there was a disap-
pointing turnout at a DVC dance. I sup-
pose the draw of the registered party
could account for the lack of people, but
the students should give the dances a
chance. Once in a while the bands are
not too bad, and sometimes are even first
rate (as in Jahil's case) . Not only that, the
dances are free.
Also, the advertised costume contest
was somewhat of a farce. It seemed to
some of us that the costumes were not
judged on merit or time put into them,
but on who had the most friends at the
dance. A costume contest is one thing,
but a popularity contest is something
totally different.
I just thought I would write to help get
the facts straight.
Signed.
A Friend of the Band
Dining Out
by Paul Caruso
If you're looking for a quiet, attractive
place to wine and dine, the Inn on Blue-
berry Hill should be at the top of your list.
However, it is by no means your average
restaurant. As college students you would
probably be able to frequent this place
maybe once or twice a year, as the prices
are reasonable, but they may be well out
of our price range.
My guest and 1 dined here last month.
The exjjcrience started with a cocktail,
chambord, a raspberry liqueur, over frap-
pe ice. The next thing to arrive at our
table were the appetizers, I had mush-
rooms escargo — mushrooms and snails
broiled in butter and garlic and my guest
had clams on the half shell. In place of
our salads we had Swiss onion soup, a
CTeamy soup with onion and Swiss cheese.
Our entrees arrived and we began to
feast. I enjoyed Veal Oscar which is
tender veal smothered with crabmeat,
asparagus, and bcmaisc sauce. My guest's
entree was a roast duckling, a whole
roasted duck, seasoned to taste with
beans almondine. and potatoes. As we
finished our meal? our coffee and dessert
were ordered. We finished the evening
with cheesecake and double chocolate
mousse pie.
It was a feast to remember The total
price of the bill came to $57.00 including
our service tip. This may appear to be
expensive, but the service and quality of
the food makes the price well worth it.
Guests are welcome daily for luncheon
and dinner at the historic site located
atop a gentle ridge a few miles south of
the county seat at Doylestown at the inter-
section of Easton and Almshouse roads.
Here hospitality is a three-hundred-year-
old tradition.

Pitching, Defense Strengths
of Aggie Softball Team
Prior to leaving for a preseason tourna-
ment in South Carolina, softball coach
Ron Johnson thought he had the best
one-two pitching punch in the Middle At-
lantic Conference.
Now Johnson has revised that esti-
mate. He thinks the Aggies have the best
one-two-three pitching punch in the
MAC. That kind of pitching depth will be
important since the league schedule has
teen expanded.
^Senior Michel Fonry and junior Carol
Serik were the pitching mainstays John-
son was expecting to rely on this season.
Forry was 3-1 last year while Serik was
4-2 with a sterling 2.64 earned run
average.
But senior Chris Van Arsdalen who
hadn't pitched since she was a freshman,
came with a strong effort down south to
earn a spot in the rotation.
"Most teams in our league have one
strong pitcher," said Johnson. "I thought
we were fortunate to have two excellent
pitchers. But with the way Chris threw 1
really think we have three solid pitchers."
Although the A^ies won only one of
the six games they played in South
Carolina, Johnson was pleased with the
pitching and defense. Hitting, though,
remains a problem.
"We hit the ball pretty hard," said the
coach. "We just couldn't get anything to
drop. Our defense was good and our pitch-
ing was strong. We just didn't score
enough runs."
The Aggies infield is set with sophomore
Mary Sandrock and freshman Donna
Ackerman sharing first base, junior Deb
Brown handling second base, sophomore
Michele Heffner at short, and freshman
Vicki Keener taking care of third base.
Freshmen Penny Mimmo and Bonnie
David as well as junior Chris MacNeil are
infield reserves.
Junior Barb Klouser will be the starting
catcher with sophomore Meg Skillman
waiting in the wings
In the outfield Johnson has Van Ars-
dalen in left and junior Sheryl Henry in
center. Serik and Forry will share right
field when the other is on the mound.
Junior Robin Shoup who tied Heffner for
the highest team batting average, will
also see considerable playing time, either
in the outfield or as designated hitter.
"It looks like another tough year in the
MAC," said Johnson. "Upsala looks
very good and so does Scranton. But 1
think our pitching is strong enough that
we can be called a contender in the North-
east Division this year."
SPORTS BRIEF:
The Delaware Valley College lacrosse
team will have its first home game of the
season on Sunday. The Aggies will face
Bloomsburg State on the soccer field at
1 :30. Come out and cheer on the Aggies!

If anyone had any questions there was
more than enough information on the
responsible use of akohol and on new
drunken driver legislation from the many
pamphlets available and especially from
the State ix>licemen themselves. This
was a time for the "drinkers" to con-
template their own behavior, as their
blcKxi alcohol contents began to deaease
(at only .015 percent per hour). All who
attended were reminded that, even if we
don't drink and drive, one out of every
50 drivers on the road with us could
possibly be drunk — at any time, any
day.

TRACK & FIELD
PREVIEW
The Aggies finished second to Susque-
hanna in the Middle Atlantic Conference
Championships last year. Rookie head
coach Jim Eichhom is hoping a season's
worth of experience can make up that
difference.
The Aggies were hit heurd by graduation,
particularly in the sprints, where the con-
tributions of stalwarts Jeff Robinson and
Phil Luccarelli will be missed. But with
those who remain, as well as a solid
group of recruits, the Aggies still have the
nucleus of a very fine team.
"I'm very happy with the way this team
has developed," said Eichhom. "We had
a good winter season and everyone is
working hard. With a few adjustments
here and there 1 think we'll be right in the
running for the MAC Championship
again."

ret, and Tyler Smith have asserted them-
selves as replacements for Robinson and
Luccarelli. Benner, a junior out for track
for the first time, will run the 200 and the
400-meter events as well as the 1,600-
meter relay. Smith, a transfer from
Franklin & Marshall, will run the
400- meters along with the intermediate
hurdles and the 1,600-meter relay. Bar-
rett, who was fourth in the MAC in the
l(X)-meter dash last year, will also com-
pete in the 200 and the 400. Turner will
run the 100. the 200, and long jump.
Other potential sprinters include Geoige
Dimitrew, freshmen Matt Gilliano and
Steve Caffey along with sophomore Dave
Glynos.
The distance runners arc solid with
senior Ed Kuri, sophomore Jeppe Chris-
tiansen and sophomore Ken McDaid, who
was third in the 3,000-meter Steeplechase
in the MAC last year, shouldering much
of the burden. Senior Doug Berecdti and
freshman John Thomson should also
help out.
Among the hurdlers, juniors Chip Zerr
and Dan Glowatski are the mainstays
with Tim Ireland coming on strong.
In field events, Steve Trostle and John
Stella should continue as leaders in the
shot put and discus. Jim Bauzon and Jeff
Flower will also help. Bauzon, Glowat-
ski, and Jim Flukey will handle the
javelin.
Junior Brandon Newell is the unques-
tioned leader of the long and triple jumps
while freshman Dave Keich will be a con-
tender in the high jump along with Bruce
Knipe and Chris Buckley.
"I'm excited about this team," said
Etehhom. "We've ^t the potential to be
very good. But everyone has to continue
working hard to reach that potential."
BASEBALL
PREVIEW
The Aggies baseball team will be look-
ing to bounce back from a disappointing
1983 season when the Aggies open the
1984 campaign with their annual trip to
the Sanfard, Fforida Baseball Tournament.
Head coach Frank Wolfgang, beginning
his sixth season, returns 13 letterman
from last year's 4-7-1 team. This year's
squad, according to Wolfgang, has talent
but is basically untested on the collegiate
level.
"We're very young," said Wolfgang in
assessing his team's chances in the tough
Middle Atlantic Conference. "It hoks like
we have some people who can play the
game but whether they can do the job on
the field remains to be seen."
The Aggies are experienced at the in-
field comer with seniors John Spevak at
first and Tom O'Neill at third. Both, how-
ever, must recover from sub-par hitting
Season's last year. O'Neill finished with a
. 189 average while Spevak hit just .175.
Sophomore Joe Cox is back to hold
down shortstop while sophomore John
Messina will start at second. Cox was a
starter and hit .205 last year while fielding
brilliantly. Messina saw very little playing
time.
The Aggies are solid in center field
with senior Cosmo Losco who hit a solid
.318 last year. Senior Joe Seigenfuse,
the team's leading hitter at .410 last year,
will move from second base to either
right field or left field.
Behind the plate, incumbant Clay Funk
will be challenged by newcomers Andy
Melillo, Jeff Gerdes, Mike Heisey, Scott
Elinsky, and Lome Bacher. Gerdes or
Heisey could wind up in the outfield.
Among the infield reserves are Rodney
Swineford, who is a first baseman, as
well as freshmen Tom Lewandowski and
Scott Sucoloski, who can play the other
infiekl spots.
Junior Bob McEvoy heads the list of
returning pitchers. Senior Ed Chroscind<i,
junkff Gary Kemberling, and sophomores
Dan Porter and Emil Novak are the other
retumees. Novak, last year's Most
Valuable Player with .333 average and
15 runs batted in, will play the outfield
and serve as designated hitter when he's
not on the mound.
Newcomers to the pitching staff in-
clude Mark Rother, Doug Sharpe, Dave
Nargoski, Joe Stevenson, and Chris
Boyle.
"1 really don't have any idea how we'll
do this year," said Wolfgang. "Basically,
I would way we're unproven as a team.
Hopefully, the Florida Toumament will
give us the experience we need to start
the season."

Drinking Revisited
by Kathy Brust
An unusual event took place during the noon hour in the Snack Bar area on Tues-
day, March 27. The set up began quietly, as bags of snacks, a cheese tray, a video
tape television, and yes ~ a bar — were arranged near the far wall of the Snack Bar.
Soon the drinkers — participants in the ST. FA. and State Police sponsored alcohol
effects demonstration — began to arrive. Three men and three women, all over 21.
some students, some staff, and a newspaper reporter, signed permission waivers and
prepared to imbibe the alcoholic beverage of their choice.
What was the meaning of this? The Students' Task Force on Alcohol and the Penn-
sylvania State Police combined forces to present an opportunity for the six partici-
pants and all observers to learn about the effects of drinking and driving.
Each drinker was weighed, and based on this figure, was asked by the police to
drink a minimum amount of liquor during the one-hour drinking phase. The amount
specified was. according to weight charts, the amount needed to reach the legal level
of intoxication (this translates into a blood alcohol content level of .10 percent, as
measured by a breathalyzer) After the drinking hour, participants were given time to
digest and absorb the alcohol into their bloodstreams. Monitors for all participants
were carefully observing and recording the changes in their sut)ject5' appearance and
behavior as a result of the drinking.
Breathalyzer tests were given to each participant. The scores ranged from .08 per-
cent (the beer drinker) to 15 percent (the wine drinker). ( ' 'Remember. ()1 percent
is considered legally drunk) . Yet behaviors did not necessarily coincide with the legal
drunkeness level. The wine drinker, for example, really did not "feel" drunk, and in
fact behaved rather sedately. A mixed drink drinker, whose blood alcohol content
level measured 12 percent, became more rowdy and vei^bal. thus displaying what
we typically think of as drinking behaviors. As a general observation, the three non-
student drinkers were more subdued in their actions, becoming increasingly mellow
as the effects of the alcohol became evident.
Participants also recited the alphabet (only two out of the six had no errors) . signed
their names on a chalkboard, and attempted to stand and lift one foot 6" off the floor.
In these events, the participants' performances varied greatly. Again, though, there
appeared to be little correlation between one's legal status and how drunk one actually
felt.
After the measurements were all taken, the police showed a videotape on the sub-
ject of drinking and the law. again using subjects whose actions were captured on film.
Literature was distributed and questions answered during the last part of the
demonstration.
The police left pamphlets explaining the newer and stricter Pennsylvania drinking
and driving laws which became effective in January of 1983 If you would like to pick
up copies of these publications, come to the Residence Life Office on the second
floor of the Student Center. We have enough for everyone.
Nord being the high scorer for these
team members. It was their only chance
to go. as one can represent a school only
once. Coach Stephenie Moss looks for-
ward to next year with a new team and
Minneapolis.

MEN'S
TRACK & FIELD
Under the direction of first year head
coach, Jim Eichhorn, the Aggies opened
their 1984 outdoor season on Saturday
at the Delaware State Relays.
One of the many bright spots for the
Aggies was the performance of Brandon
Newell. Newell finished first in the triple
jpmp with a leap of 48-10V4. setting a
new school record and earning him an
NCAA Championship berth.
in the javelin, the Aggies earned a
one-two finish. Jim Flukey's throw of
188-2 was followed by Jim Bauzon's toss
of 176-11 for the Aggies. A heave of
44-3V4 earned John Stella a second
place finish in the shot put while Jeff
Fowler's throw of 36-7 was good enough
for a fifth place finish. Dave Reich's jump
of 6-4 gave him a third place finish in the
high jump while another third place finish
was turned in by Jeppe Christiansen in
the SOOO-meters. Christiansen crossed
the line in 15:14.9.
Steve Trostle's throw of 140-6 earned
him a fourth place in discus while Joe
Harby's 132-4 toss was good enough for
sixth . Ken McDaid turned in a fifth place
finish as he covered the 1500- meters in
4:11.8.
The Aggies mile relay team was very
impressive in spite of a seventh place
finish. The team of Edson Barrett. George
Dimitrew. Chip Zerr. and Al Benner
covered the distance in a very respectable
3:21.4.
The Aggies will host Swarthmore and
Widener tomorrow in their only home
meet of the 1984 season.
WOMEN'S TRACK
The Lady Aggies will open their season
against Swarthmore and Widener tomor-
row, then will face Ursinus next Friday in
their only home meets of the season.
GEORGETOWN
WINS NCAA
Fifty-three teams started on "The
Road to Seattle" but it all came down to
one game on Monday night. The George-
town Hoyas. the Big East Champions,
against SEC Champion Houston Cougars.
The Hoyas went to the West Regional
where they had to defeat SMU, Nevada-
L-as Vegas, and the upstart Dayton Flyers
before a final four victory over Kentucky.
The Cougars enroute to the final four de-
feated Louisiana Tech, Memphis State,
and Wake Forest. Then in the semifinals
the Cougars downed the Cinderella story
Virginia Caveliers.
The game was built as Patrick Ewing
against Akeem Olajuwon but it was not
to be . Houston built an early eight point
lead but iseven minutes into the game
Georgetown tied the game and never
again looked back. The Hoyas removed
Patrick Ewing with 7:35 remaining in the
half. Ewing with foul trouble left with the
Hoyas leading by six, 28-22. But, the
Georgetown depth payed off as they in-
creased their lead to go up 40-30 at the
half.
In the second half the Cougars were
surprisingly hot from the foul line and did
cut the Hoya lead to five at two points in
the half but with just under four minutes
remaining the Hoyas pulled away. The
Hoyas who literally threw away a title
two years ago were not in any danger of
losing down the stretch this time as they
defeated the Cougars 84-75.
For Houston and Guy Lewis it was the
fifth trip to the finals without a title, while
for Georgetown it was their first ever na-
tional title and the first time since the
LaSalle Explorers of 1954 that a Big East
team had won the National crown.
BASEBALL
The Aggies back from a good Florida
campaign opened the 1984 season last
Monday against Ursinus. The Aggies
despite some good performances dropjDed
both ends of the doubleheader.
In the first game the Aggies got a good
performance from Ed Chroscinski on the
mound but the only Aggie run in the 5- 1
defeat came on Tom O'Neill's RBI single
which scored Lome Bachert
The Aggies gave up two runs in each
the first, third, and fourth innings of the
second game enroute to a 6-3 defeat.
The Aggies did get two runs in the fifth
inning on Andy Melillo's two RBI hit which
scored Cosmo Losco and Joe Seigen-
fuse. The other Aggie run came in the
sixth as Tom O'Neill scored on a Losco
single.
The Aggies will host Scranton tomorrow
in a twinbill. starting at 1:(X).
SOFTBALL
The weather has not treated the soft-
• ball team favorably so far this season, but
the Lady Aggies should be in action a
number of times this week.
The ladies will travel to Allentown on
r Monday before opening their home sea-
son on Tuesday with a doubleheader
against Kings. The Aggies will close the
week with another doubleheader as they
host FDU on Thursday.

of reptilian existence in our worid today.
Topics such as general characteristics,
habitat, the roles of reptiles in the balance
of nature, their present status in the
worid today, husbandry, conservation,
and reptiles' relative value to man are all
featured.
The man behind Reptile World is Mi-
chael Shwedick, a native of Munich. Ger-

Worid into one of the largest private rep-
tile collections in the country.

Valley College persons is $1.00.
LACROSSE
The Delaware Valley College Lacrosee
team suffered a 5-4 setback in its season
opener on Sunday. The Aggies got off to
a slow start but came back only to fall just
short. The Aggies will host Temple this
Sunday at 2:00 on the soccer field.

The Delaware Valley College Meats
Judging Team concluded the 1983-84
season on Saturday at the Butcher Boy
Invitational Meats Contest held at
Gouldey and Sons Meat Packing.

claimed the top five positions individually.
The five in order of finish were. Dave
Harian (676), Mel Balliet (668). Lance
Forster (656). Luis Guzman (628). and

Founder's Day
by Lisa C. Merklein
Voices filtered through the All- Purpose Room doors and blended with the mur-
murings of those guests still lingering in the Joshua Feldstein campus court. I paused
to adjust my blazer and introduce my mother to a few friends, then we entered and
were directed to our seats by smiling, well-dressed student ushers.
There was a constant bustle of activity, and as I sat among the other awardees. idly
leafing through my program — I couldn't help but wonder, would this Founder's Day
be different from those of previous years? A new room in a sparkling building, newly
appointed deans and a greatly improved DVC Band under the direction of Jay
Durner — a much welcomed addition to our staff — would these enhance an other-
wise tedious ceremony? The answer — yes!
Oh. there were the usual staff processional (all of our profs trying to look stern and
serious in their black gowns), the invocation by Rabbi Jeffrey Salkin, history by Dean
Adelson. and the playing of the national anthem — but I was pleasantly surprised as
the ceremony proceeded.
Speakers kept things relatively short, the chorale and band performed well, and
the presentation of awards ran quickly and smoothly. There were many awards pre-
sented for outstanding service to the college: The Distinguished Faculty Member
award went to George F. West, from the business administration department and the
Student Government Service award to Dr Charles Weber, from the chemistry
department. The Publications award went to Diane Elwood for her work as editor of
Cornucopia and to Gerald Robbins for his work as editor of Ram Pages. DTA Out-
standing awards for junior and senior achievement were presented to George Stahl
and Steve Trostle respectively. The Founders Day award was given to Carl Vivcjldi.
our student body president, for his four years of dedicated service in all aspects of col-
lege life. Kdren Hammer was presented with an Outstanding Service award for her
many contributions to the social life of DVC as Social House Chairperson. The
Walter Riggins Memorial award, which goes to the outstanding male and female
senior athlete, was awarded to Mark S'ands and Missy Young.
There were many other awards presented for academic and athletic achievement,
including Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities and
the President's award — to the 1983-84 wrestling team for their impressive winning
record .
The Sydney J. Markovitz Equine Facility was also dedicated — a long awaited ad-
dition to our campus and curriculum. The ceremony went well and my last Founder's
Day will remain a memorable experience.

Dear Editors
Thank you all so much for your ad-
vertising support of the library used book
sale. It was an unqualified success. We
had a lobby full of students anxiously
waiting for the 10:00 a.m. opening, and
happily observed that our satisfied cus-
tomers had spread the word around cam-
pus urging their friends to stop by and
look at our offerings. We have tried to
keep sale prices low so that books are af-
fordable to students; also, because we
want the books sold to people who will
read and enjoy them. Thanks again to
you and all the students who attended
the sale.
Sincerely,
J. Bitzer,
Librarian
Dear Editors
This letter concerns a problem that has
existed since I have been here at DVC
and unless something is done, will prob-
ably continue to exist. It has to do with
taking pictures at college functions and
award presentations. It seems that when-
ever there is a function of this type there
are many photographers there to take
pictures but the presenter is always in
such a position that when the recipient
received an award, his/her back is to the
audience making it impossible for the
photographer to get a decent picture.
This problem occurred at the recent
founders Day Ceremony. There were
photographers there from Ram Pages.
Yearbook, school photographers, and
photographers from the local newspaper
along with many proud parents hoping
to get a good picture of their son or
daughter but were unable to get good
pictures because of the fact that they all
had their backs to the camera. The peo-
ple responsible for holding these events
should take into consideration that there
are people out there trying to capture
these events on film and make sure that
these people (presenter and recipient)
are facing forward or at least sideways.
We school photographers are trying our
best to capture these events and make
them lasting memories but we need the
cooperation of the people involved to
make this possible. Hopefully this letter
will make the problem known and some-
thing can be done about it in the near
future, like before graduation. After all.
we're doing this for the students and the
^hool.
Sincerely,
Trying to get a good picture
PS. If you have any possible solutions to
this problem, please feel free to respond.

CAMPUS COMMENT
by Gary Mitkowski
When I visited DVC during my incom-
ing Freshmen year. 1 arrived the week
before A-Day. I just couldn't believe how
beautiful the campus really looked. 1 was
definitely amazed. As a result. DVC be-
came my choice for undergraduate study.
However, over the last two years, I have
watched DVC tum into a dump. Presently
1 think campus looks pitiful. One would
have to be blind not to see papers and
cans blowing across campus or piling up
in some sunken spot. This is definitely
the students' fault. I hate to see campus
this way. I'm sure others agree. It would
be such an outstanding place if it were to
stay clean. Campus clean-ups are good,
but not sufficient all year round. I'm sure
the school could hire some old man to
walk around and pick up after slobs, but
all it takes from the students is a little re-
spect and a touch of care.
Mondale Beats Hart
NOT AT DVC!
By Ed Wengryn
During the Pennsylvania primary on
Tuesday Ram Pages set out to find out
how the students of Del Val would vote.
The results were surprising to say the
least.
Across the state on the Democratic
ticket Walter Mondale took 45% of the -
vote. Senator Gary Hart 33%. and Jesse
Jackson 20% . The win for Mondale was ,
if ■
expected in Pennsylvania and Hart con-
ceded by 3:00 p.m. On the Republican
ticket. President Reagan ran unopposed
and recieved all of his party delegates.
In Bucks,County. the story was a littk^
different, as Senator Gary Hart won
most of the votes. One of the few cou i-
ties in the state to be taken by Hart. At
DVC Walter Mondale would not havef
had a chance. Of the students that voted
Democratic. 70% voted for Senator Hart
only 20% for Mondale. and 10% for
Rev. Jackson.
But for Del Val that was not the only
election of the day on an overall scale of
who you would vote for for president.
President Reagan was the big winner
with 44% of the DVC vote to Hart's 36%.
Mondale's 10%. and Jackson's 7% with
2% voting other or undecided. The most
difficult and surprising thing that this
reporter had to put up with was the lack
of knowledge of the candidates; people
would not vote in the poll because they
did not know who the candidates were.
For those people I feel sorry. Walter
Mondale was Vice-President to Jimmy
Carter in 1976. Senator Gary Hart is the
man who upset Mondale's campaign
winning prime states in the New England
area. The Reverend Jesse Jackson is
noted for his achievement in bringing an
American hostage home from Syria.
What is even more pitiful is the fact that
most pole takers were undecided as to
whether President Reagan had performed
a sufficient job. This country is ours. Let's
not blow it. read a paper, watch the
news, get involved in the world around
you. DVC is nothing like the real world.
WAKE UP!
DINING OUT
Attention seafood lovers! How long
has it been since you were able to "pig
out" on all the seafood you could eat for
less than $20.00? My guest^and I were
able to enjoy this pleasure recently at
The Boston Sea Party on Route 611 in
Willow Grove. Pa.
Stepping through the door of the Bos-
ton Sea Party, you enter a pleasurable
rustic New England setting. You are then
seated and your waitress, dressed in ap-
SPRING CONCERT '84
propriate garb, explains the menu options;
The Sea Party sports the usual entree
menu of a seafood restaurant including
prime rih. New Yotk strip steak, steak
and lobster tail, stuffed sole. etc.. with
all entrees priced between $8.95 and
$15.95. The highlight of our ''Celebra-
tion of Seafood" was the Boston Sea
Party Banquet which is all you can eat
from the Chowder Bar which offered
Boston clam chowder and soup du jour,
the Salad Pier which contained every-
thing imaginable to create your own
salad masterpiece, the Cold Seafood
Pier where you can hejp yourself to all
the oysters on the half shell, damson the
half shell, shrimp, caviar, marinated her-
rin^^. and smoked salmon you want, and
finally the Hot Seafood Pier which my
guest and I found the best of all This pier
consists of spiced shrimp, baked scrod.
steamed snow crab legs, seafood creole.
mussels in herb butter, scallops poulette.
steamed clams, seafood quiche, barbe-
cued ribs, corn on the cob. and rice pilaf.
You can indulge in these piers and the
Chowder Bar for only $16.95 per per-
son . If you prefer you can purchase just
the Banquet or you can purchase the
Banquet and the entree in which case
the price of the Banquet drops to $12.95
plus the price of the entree.
My guest and I highly recommend this
dining experience but a word of caution:
the Banquet is so delicious that by the
time your entree arrives you are so full
that you can't eat it all We dined on en-
trees of prime rib and stuffed sole that
were very delicious and the size of the
portions are well worth the price.
If you're looking for a night on the
town by all means consider The Boston
Sea Party. $16.95 for all you can eat
seafood is within reach of almost every
college student. Enjoy!

NRBQ
On Sunday, April 15. there will be a
Rhythm and Blues Rock Concert per-
formed by NRBQ. What is NRBQ? Not a
name, it's a license plate — for a band
that's got that under the hood sound,
from rock and roll's cradle days. But
that's now. Who can tell in a couple of
months or years what could be under
the hood? Only NRBQ, the plate, is per-
manent. Who is NRBQ? Five guys who
cat a lot of peanut butter, drink a lot of
RC colas, and play a lot of joyous music.
They're known for their eclecticism — in
one set they'll run a music gamut from
the Coaster to Sunny Rollins. But they're
best known for their brand of Rock and
Roll. Such recordings as "Riding in My
Car." "Shake, Rattle, and Roll," and
"Get Rhythm " to name a few. Tickets
are on sale in the Dean's Office:
Students - $2.00
V vjGeneral Admission — $5.0()
-The place is the James Work Gym-
nasium. Concert time will be 9:30 p.m.
You may also purchase tickets at the
door.

Chip Franklin
by Jean Meyer
Chip Franklin returned to the stage at
Del Val last Tuesday night to perform
another fantastic show. Chip is a com-
bination of a singer and comedian and
combines his talents to perform an ex-
cellent show.
Chip opened his show with an imita-
tion of Michael Jackson and then began
to talk to his small audience. A talented
singer. Chip performed his own medley
of songs for the audience. His other
talents showed when he did impressions.
The best impression of the night was
Elvis in the grave.
Overall, the show was a great success

Rocky Horror:
A tribute to Brad and Janet
by Bill Rein
Midnight strikes as one of those hours
when only the crazies dare venture out of
house and dorm, and there seems to be
'harp increases in their numbers when
it's Friday night. Last Friday was without
exception, except that some more res-
pectable faces, like those of our own Ag-
gies, dragged themselves to the All-
Purpose Room of the Student Center to
join in a local performance of The /?oclcy
Horror Picture Show.
Rock}; Horror has been a perennial
favorite, a freak of nature, and the bane
of movie reviewers, for its almost ten-
year existence.- Some of us never had
the chance to catch it until it came to
DVC. but it seemed that a lot of the
show's followers were armed with
weapon and wor hat have become its
trademark.
Water bottles, wet newspaper, lighters,
and an almost fully memorized script
were on hand for any of us who were not
sure what was going on — and I'm sure it
will take about five more showings for
any newcomer to find that out. The
show's heroine, Janet, is the beloved.
The show's "hero" (as the credits have
him titled). Brad, is the butt of any joke
the audience has well-rehearsed to throw
at him. We're talking about a bunch of
college students speaking irreverently (to
say the least) at a movie screen! Some-
how, following some backwards-type
mid- Western, mid-seventies wedding of
their friends, Janet and Brad find their
way. after professing their own love, to
an ominous-looking "castle" in their
travels on a dark, stormy night. Little did
they know but they had stumbled upon
Dr. Frank N. Furter's Annual Transylva-
nian Convention. You can get the idea
of what might just happen in the ensuing
hour and a half.
Nonetheless, the fifties hon^or movie
spoof (and rock musical, which was born
in the heyday of Alice Cooper and what
some call "Glitter Rock") continues in ut-
ter confusion through a plot which, 1
think, maybe the writers didn't even
understand! Some of the weirdest char-
acters ever invented popped up in Rock^;
Horror, and left an impression — a
lasting impression — on any of those
who stayed awake and stared in shock!
REVIEW:
Christian Stevetis Concert
On Thursday, Aprif 5, the Christian
Fellowship sponsored a concert by the
group Christian Stevens. The group was
led by Mike, Bob, and his wife, Joan, in
which they entertained the audience with
contemporary Christian Rock music.
Some of their songs included, "The
World," "Only Jesus Can," and "Lobster
Man." in spite of the foul weather, there
was a large turnout. Unfortunately, a
large part of the DVC student body missed
out on a good time.

A-DAY '84
by G. Todd
The visual changes begin early in the
week, although the plans were developed
well in advance and much work was
done in preparation. While not studying
for exams or working on term papers,
the students, with the help of others,
transform the college campus into a fair-
grounds. Holding-pens are constructed
to display sheep, pigs, and calves; a big-
top tent is erected as a show ring for
livestock judging; food booths appear of-
fering a range of tastes from pizza and
cotton candy to milkshakes and ice
cream. The gymnasium is changed into
a flower show and classrooms become
exhibfts and displays prepared by various
clubs.
The pace hastens as the week grows
old and by the weekend the results are
seen: a two-day open house held rain or
shine at the area which serves as DVC
campus for the remainder of the year.
A- Day (standing for Agriculture Day)
is now in its 36th year and has changed
and grown tremendously since the first
A-Day was held at the National Farm
School in 1949. Since its creation.
A-Day has remained a project under-
taken by student volunteers. The con-
cept of A-Day was entirely developed by
the students and is still a student-
sponsored event operated under one
unified budget. Depending mostly on the
weather, this two-day exposition, held
on April 28th and 29th from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. both days, will attract between 30
and 50 thousand visitors to the campus
and offers something for everyone.
Exhibits relating to the various course
offerings of the college are prepared.
Livestock are displayed and judged. A
horse show and small animal laboratory
exhibit provide more interest for the
animal lovers.
In addition to the flower show, the Or-
namental Horiculture Department pre-
sents a greenhouse display and offers for
sale, plants, bulbs, and other items for
the home garden.
One of the most entertaining exhibits is
the honey bee exhibit where care and
products are demonstrated . An art show
and photography show are also part of
the offerings.
Food stands are available to satisfy
your hunger and a chicken barbecue is
presented by the Food Industry mem-
bers. Hay and pony rides are another
option for the young. And for those feel-
ing competitive, log sawing, pie eating,
canoe jousting, and milking competition
contests will be held . Band and Chorale
concerts as well as a Drama Club pro-
duction will further entertain visitors.
It is hoped that the efforts of this year's
students will make this A-Day a most en-
joyable weekend. It is a fun time for the
entire family and provides a special en-
vironment for an outdoor weekend.

Retrospectively
An Editorial by G. Todd
I guess we've all got it to some degree
— or at lease we're getting it. But it's a
strange sensation because you don't
know you've got it until after you've had
it. What is it? The DVC exj^erience.
I believe it all started with a letter of ac-
ceptance from DVC's Admission's Of-
fice. Sure, we'd all read about the college
and the "DVC experience" in pamphlets
and brochures from the college but what
\-Avas it? It took four years to find out, and
then once you knew what it was, it was
over.
Let me recap some highlights.
Freshman orientation — now that was
an experience within itself. There you
were, scared to death, but not letting
everyone else see that side of you, with
these total strangers (who felt just like
you did but didn't let onto the fact) on a
bus going from site to site as an upper-
classman tour guide rambled on as to
%yhat farm you were visiting and what the
land was used for and what classes you'd
have there, etc. You struggled through
the remainder of the orientation proce-
dure and it was just that, a procedure —
the first of many. My personal impres-
sion, one that has remained with me
through the past four years here, was
that unless you entered a room with a
pen or pencil you might as well not be
there. As freshmen, it was an experi-
ence: as upperclassmen, it was some-
thing to look back on each fall and
remember, turn the other way and grin
— (a necessary torture?)
Next comes Parent's Day. This is an
annual event that is held so that every-
one cleans their rooms and makes their
habitations presentable.
October is a busy month for it also
brings Homecoming. Here we find who
the dedicated workers are. They are the
students who work on the floats until
completion and then catch an hour's
sleep and they're off to the parade. The
day is filled by the parade and sports
games and as we grow from freshmen to
seniors we find ourselves knowing more
and more alumni and look forward to
this weekend. We then realize how
quickly we become one of the alumni.
Thanksgiving break always seems to
arrive just when you thought the dining
hall food was beginning to improV^L;You
feast at home, return, and realizelhat
such an observation is a fallacy.
Finals appear — the harbinger of the
semester's end. Even with the Thanks-
giving break, finals and the accompany-
ing tension and short-tempcredness pre-
pare all for a very long vacation from
DVC. You go home and are placed into
the whirlwind of last minute shoppers —
Christmas comes and you can take a
deep breath at last and relax.
Then January arrives, boredom sets in
and you even look forward to registra-
tion. The semester begins and you are
back in the swing of things in a short
time.
February is a great time for the unex-
pected, Valentine's Day arrives and who
knows what might happen if you're hit by
Cupid's arrow. Many glittering white
rocks always appear. Glittery and white
snow. That seems to have a way of ap-
pearing very often at this time too. How
many times did you take bets that school
would be cancelled, slept in for a
change, and then discover that everyone
else pulled on their boots and slipped to
class?
March is always a hectic month, being
filled with more activities, mid-terms,
spring break, and the first dinner dances
of the year. Field trips are often found
occurring also. The month breezes by
and before you know it you are thrown
into April Fool's Day.
Then the banquets start and are a
welcomed relief from the dining hall
food . Those who really get involved find
that they never have to eat at Levin's
Hall anymore for there are banquets for
EVERYTHING, clubs. R.A.'s. commit-
tees, etc.
And soon the warm weather sets in
and you find DVC taking it off and sur»?
ning. The banks of Archer as well as the
lawn area outside the dorms are soon
adorned with sunbathers and the air is
filled with the scent of suntan oil and the
sound of music from portable radios or
speakers in dorm room windows.
The month is a busy one being blessed
with Founders' Day on one weekend.
Superstars on another, usually Easter on
another, and summed up by A-D,ay on
yet another — (are we out of weekends
yet?)
Then May arrives and you only have
time to turn around to face finals and
then graduation . You look back on your
first year, your first two years, then three
years, and then on your college days as a
whole and wonder where the time went.
Remember when you "discovered"
Lake Archer, then Lake Galena? How
many times did you complain about your
roommate but then have no one to do
something with when you were there for
a weekend alone? And the parties — the
impromptu ones and the ones that were
weeks in the planning. And what to do
on a Sunday afternoon — Montgomery-
ville Mall, New Hope. Peddler's Village,^
the Mart, the Barn, the bowling alley —
we all managed to fill the time and enjoy
ourselves. And NBl, a great place to
celebrate a 21st or celebrate after
seminar. And after your 21st birthday,
how many of the area bars did you
discover?
Of course, there were the endless
hours that we spent in the library, study-
ing and working on research papers and
seminar. Will we remember? Barbra
Streisand has the answer when she sings
". . . it's the laughter we will remember,
whenever we remember the way we
were." DVC will be missed by its alumni.

Dear Editors,
As seniors, we feel it is necessary to
address the topic of A-Day and the now
ever increasing problems which are asso-
ciated with it. The College catalog says
that A-Day is an annual student-planned
and organized science and agriculture
exposition, requiring many months of
preparation on behalf of the students.
However, over the past four years, we
have noticed that the student participa-
tion which always was lacking has deteri-
orated to an even greater extent.
We believe that the problem is the
result of many factors, the first being a
general feeling of apathy on behalf of
many students toward A-Day in general.
A second reason appears to be a greater
priority to party, which is very obvious by
the large attendance at parties, but the
lack of participation before, during, and
after A-Day. A final reason seems to be a
general lack of support for clubs which in
turn results in a poorer organized, staffed,
and successful event.
It should be understood that the pur-
pose of this letter is not to attack partying
or other activities not directly related to
the big weekend. What we do want to
point out is the misdirection of priorities
and carefree attitudes of many students
toward our College's main community
attraction. Our feelings about this lack of
concern among many of our fellow stu-
dents are of despair, frustration, and to
some extent, anger, particulary because
we know for a fact that for the last couple
of years A-Day has been running on a
significant shortage of student help.
What compounds our frustration farther
is our observation of students' plans and
actions for this weekend. Students' plans
Dear Editor,
We would like to use this space for a
good reason, that being to recognize two
people of the campus family who prob-
ably are not known by many, mainly
because they do not carry heavy titles
nor are usually seen in the lime light.
Editors, we feel the desire to express
our sincere appreciation to Larry and Pat
Lyford who. as the Berkowitz girls know,
are Community Coordinators, and as
Christian Fellowship members know, are
club advisors.
We, as seniors in the fellowship, have
known Larry and Pat for varying time
spans, and have come to know the love,
dedication, sharing, and caring that they
have expressed to anyone in need. Be-
cause we are on our last time around, we
just wish to thank them through this letter
for the patience and never ending help
and encouragement that they have given
to us. as well as many other students
throughout the entire campus. In addi-
tion, we praise the Lord for people like
them, and ask that He continually use
them in a similar, love-filled, and caring
manner that has been demonstrated.
God Bless,
Chuck, Jim. John,

An Officer
and a Gentleman
by Jamie Beck
Set in Seattle, Washington, this story
revolves around Zack Mayo (Richard
Gere), a nobody who wants to make
something of himself. He goes to an
Officers' Candidate School so he can fly
jets (as he puts it) . His close friend is por-
trayed by David Keith. Together, they go
through a rigid training program with the
tough drill instructor, played expertly by
Louis Gossett, Jr. Along the way, he
meets and falls in love with Paula (Debra
Winger) , who is one of the local girls.
An Officer and a Gentleman is a
realistic movie that I'm sure everyone
would enjoy, it is full of many varied
emotions and proves that you can win
over any obstacles when you truly
believe in yourself.
for the weekend range from "Nothing,"
to "Going Home," to "Sleeping off the
previous night." Actions of some of
those who do hang around are not much
better, as can be seen by the record
number of sun bathers at the dorm
"beaches," while at the same time
several hundred people stand in line for
food due to help shortages at the food
tents, and thousands of dollars are lost
because no one is willing to help with
parking.
We are in the dark, (as we suspect are
the A-Day committee members who
plan this weekend, many administration
members who have watched A-Day par-
ticipation go down hill over the years,
and probably even many visitors) as to
why very few people want to get involved
with an event like this. Sure, at times it
gets hot, dirty, frustrating, and irritating, '
but we find that planning A-Day, setting
up club exhibits, and working during the
weekend is a blast and a memorable
experience.
Up until this year, A-Day has been
totally student run. Questions persist as
to whether this weekend will be the last
of its kind. It is up to us, the STUDENTS,
to make A-Day work. What are you do-
ing to help?
Sincerely,
Steve Wiley
John B. Herring
Dear Editors
In answer to your recent editorial
regarding the difficulty of taking pictures
at college functions, 1 can offer the
following solution: If you would see me
ahead of a special event, I am sure we •
could arrange to set up a photographer
wherever he or she would like.

N.R.B. Who?
by Leslie E. Blatt
N.R.B.Q. stands for the New Rhythm
and Blues Quartet plus their sidekicks the
Whole Wheat Horns. This unique '
group, who hails from Saugertus, New
York, plays in clubs along the east coast
in places such as the Chestnut Cabaret in
Philadelphia. N.R.B.Q. made their DVC V
appearance on Sunday, April 15 despite
much apathy from DVC students. Their
performance, which took place in the
James Work gymnasium, was basically a
dance concert. The attendance by DVC
students was pathetic as only 102 tickets
were sold. The majority of the people .
who were there appeared to have a great
time despite the small number in atten-
dance. Thanks go to Social House who
sponsored this event.
MARCUS BROTHERS
by Bill Rein
It had been forecasted to be the abrupt
end of a beautiful week of true spring-
time weather, but Friday the 13th eluded
its traditionally unlucky reputation when
Aaron and Joel Marcus came to the Dr.
Feldstein Campus Court. ^
Cloudy skies parted for most of the
lunchtime hour-and-a-half as the Marcus
Brothers relaxed and entertained the
small crowd reclining on the grass sur-
rounding the Student Center courtyard.
If the weather seemed lifeless, no prob-
lem, with electric guitars in hand, Aaron
and Joel could be heard singing, in their
trademark pure tones of easy listening
music, around this end of DVC in one of
our first outdoor coffeehouses here. It
was somewhat like FM radio in concert.
Their songs included soft rock, some
jazz. folk, and pop music in their own
style. A version of "Light My Fire" may
have rivaled Jose Feliciano's own clear
version that made this tune so popular.
Overall, the Marcus Brothers were a
nice, noiseless breakaway from the usual
lunchtime fare.
Business Faculty Member
Establishes Scholarship
Recently, Delaware Valley College
awarded the Dorothy J. McCool Memo-
rial Scholarship. It is the first business-
faculty sponsored scholarship for Busi-
ness Administration students. The schol-
arship is in the amount of five hundred
dollars and is awarded to the junior
Business Administration student with the
highest academic grade point average at
the end of the junior year fall semester.
The scholarship was established by
Mr. Edward J. McCool, a distinguished
member of the Business Administration
faculty. The scholarship is in memory ol
and named for Mr. McCool's late, bebved
wife. The scholarship represents the Mc-
Cools' idealism and commitment to intel-
lectual and moral excellence. This ideal-
ism advances the virtues of loyalty and
dedication to purpose and mission.
The scholarship recipient for the
1984-85 school year was Mr. Daniel
Glowatski, Business Administration,
Class of 1985. Mr. Glowatski is the per-
sonification of this scholarship and its
idealism.
The College and the Business Admini-
stration Department appreciate and
thank Mr. McCool for his concern,
thoughtfulness, and support which will
benefit present and future Delaware
Valley College students.

nar, Dr. Kahan demonstrated proper
techniques for performing autopsies on
various specimens.
Approximately 70 professionals at-
tended the three-day seminar, which
was sponsored by the Pennsylvania Asso-
ciation of Avian Veterinarians.
"I was pleased to be part of such a
prestigious group." said Dr. Kahan. who
is a frequent guest speaker at such
gatherings. "Anytime I have an oppor-
tunity to discuss some of the things we're
doing here at Delaware Valley College I
try to take advantage of it."
The yearly seminar was the fifth of
its kind. The stated purpose of the semi-
nar is to discuss current knowledge con-
cerning science and health for avian
veterinarians.

Dear Editors
I would like to commend DVC! The
college's chapel provided the perfect set-
ting for the exchange of wedding vows as
Sherrie Price and Francis Bianco were
married on April 21. The college grounds
were neat and complemented the beauti-
ful ceremony. Most importantly, I feel
that DVC should be thanked for sharing
the campus with its students' social life
and not just their educational time at the
college. Since both Sherrie and Fran are
DVC graduates, the college campus
added the perfect touch for their
wedding.

have come down," said first year coach
Al Wilson, who. despite his team's 2-5
record, is very pleased with their progress.
After a weather riddled early season,
the Aggies did have a busy two weeks,

425. and the Lions shot a 430.
John Donatelli and Greg Hoffstetter
have lead the Aggies consistently this
season, but Dan Lynch and Tim Sitarik
have greatly improved.
"We felt a realistic goal for this season
was to finish in the top half of the team's
in the MAC," said Wilson, but as the
team heads to MAC's this weekend,
without two of its top five players (who
are unable to make the trip due to A-Day
commitments), the team will still be look-
ing to give it their best shot. The golf
team contains only three seniors, they

Scott Timmins.

14-8 decision. The Aggies did get two
RBI's from both Tom O'Neill and Dan
Porter in the loss.
: -Then, on April 17th. the Aggies split*
twinbill with Kings. In game one, the on-
ly offense the Aggies could generate was
a solo homerun by Joe Seigenfuse. The
Monarch's three-hit the Aggies and took
a 5-1 decision. A five-run third was all
the Aggies needed in game two as they
went on to a 9-3 victory. Bob McEvoy

eighth in the nation earning him All-

was Mark Sands.
The Aggies will be hit very hard by
graduation losing Tony Borrello, Troy
Marshall, Mark Sands, Bruce Stajnrajh.
and Tony Tarsi. Coach Bob Marshall
feels the Aggies could improve on their

but said that recruiting will be very
important.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
It was definitely a rebuilding year for
the Lady Aggies who were plagued with
a lack of experience, size, and numbers
this season.
The Lady Hoopsters were winless In
their 19 outings but did gain valuable
experience.
Kim Frey lead the team in scoring with
269 points and rebounding with 171.
The team's only senior and MVP, Missy
Young, scored 155 points and pulled
down 136 rebounds for second high on
the team in both categories. Michele
Heffner, In nine games, scored 120
points.
With only Young lost to graduation,
the Aggies should return more experi-
enced and with the addition of some
height and depths could turn the pro-
gram around next year.
FOOTBALL
The Aggies had high hoF>es of a fourth
straight MAC crown as the season got
underway but losses to Susquehanna,
Moravian, and Widener, as well as a
heartbreaking defeat by Lycoming,
dethroned the Aggies, Their 6-4 record
marked the fifth straight winning season
at DVC.
The Aggies ground game was led by
team MVP, Cosmo Losco, who scored
12 touchdowns and 72 points to set
single-season and career records in both
areas. Tom O'Neill guided the A^le of-
fense and completed 87 passes for 1 ,365
yards and 1 1 touchdowns. O'Neill broke
single-season and career passing yard-
age records as well as the single-season
record for completions. Tom was also
recognized by the Maxwell Club for his
play against Lycoming. ♦
Defensively the Aggies were led by
Rob Charette with 55 first hits and 69
assists, Dave Murphy, who registered 54
first hits and 54 assists, and Jim Hannon,
with 51 first hits and 63 assists.

winning the First Annual Big Brothers
Tip-Off Tournament. After opening the
season with a 6-3 record, the Aggies
dropped 13 of their last 14 games and

shy of the all-time career mark. Nichols
finished this season with 557 points to
pace the Aggies. Darin Poindexter lead
the team in rebounds with 238 and was
third in scoring with 247 points. Mike

for the Aggies with 258 points.
Jay Nichols was voted the team's

ment next season.

jew$ki, Mike Harbold, John James,
Rodger Kennedy, Pat Lake, Cosmo
Losco, Dave Murphy, Tom O'Neill, Dan
Rupp, Joe Seigenfuse, Jeff Sneeringer,
and George Wajda.
"At times this season was frustrating,"
said Coach Al Wilson. "I don't believe in
a big carry over from one season to the
next. But. I think the guys who are back
next year will understand better what it
takes to be a winner every time they go
out on the field."
MEN'S
CROSS COUNTRY
Men's cross country wound up an im-
pressive 9-3 season with an eighth place
finish at the MAC Championships.
Ed Kuri, despite a 15th place finish at

At Nationals, Kuri finished a very res-
pectable 91st place.
Other Aggie finishers at MAC's included
Jeppe Christiansen (8th), Ken McDaid
(31st), Dave Spotts (77th), and Don
Billett (106th). At Regionals, the Hamers

again followed by Christiansen (37th),
McDaid (55th), Spotts (110th), and
Billett (129th).
The only senior on this season's team
was Ed Kuri who was also named the
team's MVP.

season was Cary Gilbert who lead the
team with 10 goals while the outstanding
defensive player and MVP awards went
to Tony Borrelo.

really develop," said Coach Marshall,
"but we have a lot of inexperience com-
ing back."

Kerner with three. Kemer led the team
with 25 shots on goal while Serik had 24
and Brake finished with 20. Janice

October
by Jean Meyer
If you look back at October with plea-
sant memories, you are not alone. Oc-
tober for everyone was a very busy
month that gathered many memories.
October began with a lecture on Edible
Landscape by Rosalind Creasy, who was
sponsored by The Floral Society and OH
department. Before we knew it. we were
cleaning our rooms for Parent's Day.
Our parents were treated to a nice recep-
tion in the All-Purpose Room while they
had a chance to talk to our favorite
teachers. Then they were treated to a
"real" football game, the Aggies against
Upsala, and of course we won! The real
and final memories of the month came at
Homecoming. For those who can't re-
member, the theme was "Homecoming
'83, The Place to Be." The day began
early with the parade and ended with a
dance. The big event of the day was the
dedication of the new Student Center
with the court being named after Dr.
Feldstein. The queen for Homecoming
'83 was Gale Backhus. first runner up —
Chris Pulsette. and second runner up —
June Guzikowski. .

December
by Bill Rein
Even for a relatively brief month,
December can be noted as three weeks
of almost daily social activity, ranging
from the DVC Players presentation of
The Runner Stumbles to a Christmas
Dance, Dinner, and Coffeehouse!
The focus was on DVC as Drs. Neil
Vincent and John Plummer made their
TV debut on Channel 17. in an inter-
view for a community affairs program,
our educational courses offered and the
role of agriculture in the Delaware Valley
were discussed in four days of 15-minutc
segments.
The holiday season was, of course, a
recurring theme. And December was a
month of firsts — The First Annual
Christmas Concert in the new Student
Center was the first FREE concert of its
kind and the first with FREE refreshments
afterward! (How's that for holiday spirit?)
There was a "Christmas Coffeehouse"
with John Flynn who also helped fire up
the spirit and warmth of the season with
songs under the Christmas tree in the
Cafeteria. Mr. Bill even came to the Stu-
dent Center for a day and was soon fol-
lowed by Bambi for all of our animal
lovers and sentimental students.
In sports, men's basketball opened
their season defeating Wilkes and FDU-
Madison. DVC's women's basketball
banded together a somewhat small team
with some big spirit in the opening of
their season. Our wrestlers were espe-
cially proven with their initial 4-0 record
which they earned into that much-
looked-forweird-to semester break.
September
by Leslie E. Blatt
Dr. Feldstein welcomed all students
back to DVC during the last week of
August. There were many changes
made in both administration and staff as
well as in the physical appearance of the
campus. Dr. John C. Mertz was appoint-
ed Acting Dean of Academic Affairs
while Lionel Adelson was appointed Act-
ing Dean of Student Services. Many
more additions and changes to the DVC
"family" were also announced.
The greenhouse complex got a face-
lift with the addition of a new OH wing
which contains offices and classrooms. A
new horse barn near Farm *3 was com-
pleted over the summer as were new
garden areas around campus. The big
addition to the DVC campus was the ad-
dition of the Student Center. Complete
with a snack bar, student store, game
room, offices, lounges, club roorns, and
the All -Purpose Room, this building was>
definitely an improvement made for the-
use and enjoyment of students. This
school year also brought with it the addi-
tion of a new major — Agribusiness.
Headed by department chairman George
F. West, this major combines a balanced
agriculture and business program.
There were many special activities go-
ing on around campus during the month
of September. Maureen Walsh and Ed
Sweeney each were here for coffee-
houses. Gil Eagles was once again at
DVC to (?ntertain everyone with the ex-
pertise on hypnotism and ESP. The
Floral Society presented Rosalind
Creasy, author of The Complete Book
of Edible Landscaping, to DVC and its
surrounding communities.

November
by Jamie Beck .
Highlights of the events for November
in and around DVC included: election
day on the eighth, which ended the con-
struction of the Point Pleasant Pumping
Station. A Flashback Dance where we
heard music both past and present. A
Faculty Leg Contest where we found the .
faculty member with the best looking
legs. The girls chose their guys at the
Sadie Hawkins Dance. Meadowlark
Lemon and the Bucketeers paid us a
visit. And on November 23. we all went
home for a taste of Mom's home cooking
for Turkey Day, otherwise known as
Thanksgiving, the holiday where we give
thanks for the food, friends, and other
things we have, ., . ;,^

January
by Linda Goodloe
January is the month known for cold
temiDeratures, snow storms, and bundl-
ing up. As for Ram Pages, the staff
issued one paper. Highlights included: a
review of the DVC Players in the
melodrama The Runner Stumbles, and a
review of Yentl, Barbra Streisand's long-
awaited movie. Employment was a large
area reported in the paper. According to
William Craver, Director of Placement,
"over 70 percent of our graduates are
working within their major field of
study." As always, the paper included a
calendar of the upcoming months'
events. Finally, do you remember the
photograph of Ed Wengryn curled up
next to a fireplace, still waiting for Santa?

March
by ED. Wengryn
March came in like a lion, only this
time with roars of laughter, as the DVC
Players presented their cabaret nights of
comedy. All three nights were played to
record-breaking crowds.
The first Saturday of the month meant
a night out on the town for the DVC
Junior Dinner Dance. This is also the
time Dr. Martin had his first "heart
attack" because the graphics material for
the Philadelphia Flower Show were not
ready, thus the committee started run-
ning printing, writing, and labeling shifts
till midnight.
But they weren't the only ones work-
ing late into the night, the week before
the largest indoor show in the world
keeps a lot of people awake. Thursday,
the 8th. brought a great snowfall and
heart attack *2; how was he to finish
with no classes on Friday. By midnight
Friday all was done, with Saturday's
judging awarding DVC with the Buckley
Medal for an exhibit of great merit and
educational value. The great American
mail-order ????? was a success not to
mention the dance, that night.
Wednesday, the 14th. brought Flash-
dance to DVC with a nice turn out.
(What do you expect on the Wednesday
before spring break!) The 17th-25th saw
many DVC students off and on break —
Florida here we come! (Others went to
Texas and California while some poor
souls were left here at good old DVC.)
The last week in March was a busy
one; there was a Keith Street Jazz Con-
cert on Tuesday, the movie Dark Cr\^stal
on Thursday, and close to 100 Alpha
Phi Omega Brothers to campus for a sec-
tional conference on the weekend not to
mention the highlight of the month (and
year), the Senior Dinner Dance. All of
this was to set the pace for the month of
April. , , : _,

The month of February, as short as it
is, was still filled with plenty of activities.
The month was brought in with the Give-
and-Take Jugglers who entertained a
good -sized crowd.
Later on in the month, the Student
Government brought in Tim Settini, a
comedy mime who kept the entire au-
dience laughing for hours. February also
saw DVC's Annual Variety Show. Col-
lege students did a great job making fools
of themselves but some people performed
especially well including the guys from
Tabor and Carolyn Brodhag who won
first place. The college also held its
Second Annual Career Day.
The biggest event of February was the
show performed by David Brenner. The
gymnasium was filled with people who
came from everywhere to see this fan-
tastic comedian.
The end of February brought on leap
year day.

April
by BarbTaft
April was full of activities for the stu-
dent. If you were bored during this
month it was entirely your fault. April
began with room registration and pre-
registration for all freshman, sophomores,
and juniors. There was the Second An-
nual Bloodmobile which for the first time
in a long time didn't reach its goal There
were three coffeehouses and four movies
including Rocky Horror and An Officer
and a Gentleman. This month also saw
the Annual Founders' Day Convocation
and the dedication of the new horse
facility. And if that wasn't enough to
keep you busy, there was Superstars
weekend — despite the cold, wet
weather, everyone had a good time,
And the usual spring Campus Skate was
held during April.
The highlight of this month was the
Annual Spring Concert which this year
featured NRBQ put on by Student
Government. Some of the unusual
events held this month were Mike
Schwedick's Reptile World and the Egg
Toss. Finally this month ended with the
36th Annual student-run A-Day. April
was a very busy month; hope you all en-
joyed the wide variety of activities this
month.

The Editors' Desk:
As the 1983-84 school year draws
to an end, so does the year for Ram
Pages. I hope that we, the editors,
have accomplished our goal of bring-
ing current news of the area and the
DVC community to the DVC family. I
would also like to announce next year's
editors. Co-editors will be Leslie Blatt
and Paul Caruso. Photography editor
will be Linda Goodloe and Gene Bless-
ing will hold the position of sports
editor. Many active seniors are leaving
but we are leaving our footsteps,
follow in them, then better yourselves
and excel.

Dear Editors
The Horticulture Society would like to
take this moment to thank the Agronomy
Club, Block and Bridle, Future Farmers
of America, and the Floral Society for
producing a new and original display for
A-Day. (As the A-Day committee and
administration had requested.) We would
hope in future years that the other clubs
would follow this lead by creating a new
and original display. In addition, we
have spoken with several members of
the A-Day committee and let our griev-
ance be known. We thank the A-Day
committee for taking measures to correct
this problem. The A-Day committee in-
structed the A-Day photographer to take
pictures of all club displays. Next year
(A-Day 1985} the judges will be shown
this year's photographs of the clubs' ex-
hibits. If the exhibits are the same the
clubs will be disqualified from competi-
tion. We feel these measures as well as
others are needed to combat this prob-
lem. We feel through these changes that
the spirit of A-Day and competition will
be restored.
Sincerely,
James A. Abma

Dear Editors
Spring break has come and gone . . .
Founder's Day has come and gone . . .,
A-Day has come and gone . . .
The potholes have come, but when do
they go? This summer when the majority
of students are gone or right before
graduation? Yes! The small potholes
beside Samuel Hall were fixed, but not
the two huge holes in the student parking
lot. This problem has been in the Student
Government minutes several times, but
to no avail. How long will it take for them
to be fixed? HELP!!
Sincerely,
Pothole Dodger
Attention Students!
In reference to the memo sent by Mr.
Zenko, Residence Life Office, regarding
removal of unwanted furnishing in rooms,
there is an alternative solution.
The college has planned to have large
dumpsters placed in appropriate areas
around campus for the removal of all un-
wanted furniture and trash . In the event
that the dumpsters do not arrive in time,
unwanted furnishings are to be placed in
the area where regular trash is picked up
from each dorm. Students are advised to
keep all furniture in one piece as much as
possible.
If a student needs more trash bags to
discard unwanted material, they may get
them from their R.A. It is the student's
responsibility to place extra trash bags
outside their dorms where regular trash is
picked up.
Students are advised to adhere to these
regulations or appropriate fines will be
levied. It will be appreciated if students
follow these regulations to help in the
clean-up from A-Day and preparation
for graduation.
Dear Editors
As an active student of Del Val for three
years I have observed many frustrating
problems with the advancement of the
college. With the rapid progression of to-
day's society, a small institution like Del
Val must change even faster. Along with
any advancements must stem proper ob-
jectives and goals which are flexible
enough to change with the times but must
also be specific.
Presently enrolled as a Dairy major I
have chosen Business Organization and
Management as an elective, a course 1
highly recommend for everyone. As I
proceed through this course I am realizing
the importance of organization to run an
effective business or college. As I apply
my knowledge of Management by Objec-
tive (MBO) I wonder where the objectives
and goals of this college are headed.
With the sometimes extreme decisions
made by administration I wonder if they
realize their targets.
The definition of MBO provides for the
performance of managers to be judged
on the basis of their success in achieving
objectives established with superiors.
These performances may easily be trans-
formed into the success of professors with
the incorporation of new ideas^„ ■
For MBO to develop, efforts must be
focused upon the goals to be achieved,
rather than the activities performed to
achieve those goals. When all your efforts
are focused on how things appear, your
goals to achieve become destroyed. Too
often this college frowns upon a goal
because it fears the activity to achieve the
goal. If this college wants to progress, it
must loosen its straps on college personnel
and students and let them seek out their
goals.
Along with the MBO system the Theory
Y system also seems to go hand-in-hand
with an institution like Del Val. Theory Y
system is a people-centered approach.
And I couldn't think of a more appropriate
place for people than a college. Theory
Y is a system of defined responsibilities
with a degree of imagination and creati-
vity. It also rewards accomplishments by
objectives. Theory Y promotes group
creativity and communication. Theory Y
and MBO seem to be the most intelligent,
efficient systems to operate a business or
college.
Now that 1 have expressed my obser-
vations, I strongly urge the college ad-
ministration to evaluate the objectives
and goals of this college, and to take a
firm stance on their goals and objectives
with minimal fluctuation in the future.
And as students, let's all hope that those
goals are for a more progressive future
for the college.

Neil Kratzer
Maxwell Club to Sponsor
Sports Medicine Seminar
The Robert W. Maxwell Memorial
Football Club, Inc. will sponsor a Sports
Medicine Seminar at Delaware Valley
College on Sunday, June 3.
The seminar is intended for athletic
trainers, coaches, physical education in-
structors, high school and college stu-
dent trainers as well as other allied health
personnel. The Seminar will provide parti-
cipants with information that will enable
them to recognize and manage the prob-
lems associated with sports injuries.
Jack Foley, A.T.,C., the Head Athletic
Trainer at Delaware Valley College, will
serve as Program Director.
"We are pleased to be able to sponsor
this program," said Francis J. (Reds) Bag-
nell, President of the Maxwell Club.
"Sports Medicine is an extremely impor-
tant topic today It's something that every-
one, from the youth league level on up,
ought to be aware of."
The Seminar will be held in the Student
Center from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m.
There will be a $10 materials and work-
shop cost for all registrants.
Some of the topics to be covered in
the Seminar are: "Evaluation of the In-
jured Athlete," "The Role of Diagnostic
Dear Editors
We hear that DVC is not like the "real
world" and after seeing the student apathy
this past weekend I would hope that this
is true. A-Day is a student-organized, stu-
dent-run weekend and requires the stu-
dent body as a whole to participate in
making this event work.
A-Day is not just one big party as many
students seem to believe. A number of
people have worked very hard all year to
make this weekend the success that it is,
but why should this small group sacrifice
their time and effort for the good of those
who do nothing.
I have been very negative to this point.
I should be congratulating the p)eoplc who
organized the event, worked in the booths,
helped to set up a display, exhibited or in
some way helped to make A-Day better
for all.
It would be a shame to see this annual
event dropped or changed in any way but
without the student support it can only
continue to go downhill. This college
sells students on the ideal of "hands on
experience" and this hands on approach
is what makes this event so great.
In closing I would like to say, DVC is
like the "real world" in that to get some-
thing from it you must also give a little of
yourself. The students are what makes this
school unique and I sure hope those
who did not stay for A-Day or did not in
some capacity help in its success, realize
that they could have made this A-Day
just a little better.
Sincerely.
Mel Balliet
MOVIE REVIEW:
"Moscow on the Hudson*'
by Jamie Beck
Robin Williams stars as Vladimir Ivan-
off, a Russian saxophone player who
works in a circus. When the circus comes
to New York, Ivanoff decides to defect.
He makes this decision in, of all places,
Bloomingdales department store. He has
an Italian girlfriend and a Cuban lawyer.
He says in the movie, everyone 1 have
met is not from the U.S. This is a very
interesting movie about life in the U.S.
and Russia. See how Vladimir Ivanoff
copes with a new life in Moscow on the
Hudson.

Y DVC Gets Pathfinder
Cow Award
Delaware Valley College was recently
presented with the American Angus Asso-
ciation Pathfinder Cow Award for DVC
Pride 1858. This cow has produced four
calves with an average weaning ratio of
108.
The Pathfinder Award is given to cows
who meet rigid requirements for early
calving and regularity of calving. This
also qualifies the animals for the 1983
Pathfinder Report which will appear in
the May issue of the Angus Journal.
"I believe awards of this type indicate
the improvement inperformance and qual-
ity of our cattle herd." said Dr. Hofsaess.
DAIRY NEWS
On April 18, 1984, the Delaware Val-
ley College Ayrshire Herd was classified
by the National Ayrshire Breeder's Asso-
ciation classifier, Gary Witt.
The classification program involved
evaluating each cow's overall type and
comparing her to the ideal Ayrshire cow.
In addition, there are 13 major linear
traits that are evaluated which are used
in a mating program to help correct the
individual cow's functional trait -weakness.
The results of the final scores for the
Del Val Ayrshire herd are as follows:
4 excellents (90% -f ), 6 very good
(80 to 89%), and 3 good plus (70 to
79% of ideal) for a herd average of
84 92. The breed average is about 80%
of ideal.
Special thanks to Jim Quartuccio,
Herd Supervisor, and to all the students
who assisted in the classiftoation program.

The men's track team traveled to Frank-
lin field this past weekend for the P«nn
Relays. This is not only a major event of
the season but is the final preparation for
the MAC Championships, held at Messiah
College today and tomorrow.
! At the Penn Relays the Aggies only
win came in the Pop Haddleton Memorial
4 X 400 relay. It marks the second
straight year the Aggies brought home
this award, as they covered the distance
in 3:19.9. Susquehanna, the Aggies big-
gest competition in this race and again
this weekend at MACs. was never really
in the race after dropping the baton on
the second leg handoff.
The Aggies' team consisted of Edson
Barrett (50.7). Tyler Smith (49.7), Chip
Zen- (49.7). and Al Benner (49.6).
The Aggies are at Messiah College this
weekend for the MAC Championships
and will be trying for the MAC crown
which has been owned by Susquehanna
for the past three seasons.
SPORTS COMMENT:
As I complete my fourth year as
Sports Editor of Ram Pages, I would just
like to take a moment to thank the coaches
and Sports Information Director Joe
Ferry. 1 have watched the athletic pro-
gram at DVC grow over this time and
with the devotion shown by all these
people I am sure it will continue to pros-
per in the future.

SOFTBALL
The Aggies record dipped to 7-5 over-
all and 4-4 in the MAC as they lost both
ends of a twinbill to Scranton last week.
In the first game the Aggies got a two
RBI double from Michele Forry and an
RBI single from Carol Serik as they
scored three runs in the first inning, only
to lose the contest 6-3. The Aggies could
not get any runs in the second game, los-
ing that one, 1-0.
"We just couldn't score." said Coach
Ron Johnson, "They came down here
ranked in the top 20 in the nation and I
don't think they were that much better
than us. They played error free ball but
we just couldn't get our hits."
The Aggies finished their season on
Wednesday when they traveled to Wilkes.
GOLF
by Mel Balliet
Greg Hoffstetter shot a 72 in qualifying,
last Saturday and went on to finish third
in the MAC golf championships.
Hoffstetter. who was one of the Aggie
leaders all season shot an 81 on the se-
cond day of competition to finish third,
behind players from Franklin and Marshall
and Ursinus. This finish was the first
medal for an Aggie in a number of years
and considering there was 105 partici-
pants was a very big accomplishment.
The Aggies as a team made the cut to
play in the second day of competition
and finished 14th in the MAC.
"Greg played very well." said Coach
Al Wilson. "And. the team did very well
as a whole."

BASEBALL
by Mel Balliet
The Aggies have won the MAC North-
eastern Division which earns them the
right to play the Northwestern Division
champions, the Wilkes Colonels, tomor-
row, in the first round of the MAC play-
offs.
With a 9-8 overall record and a 7-3
mark in the MAC. the Aggies after a split
with Farleigh-Dickinson on Sunday, had
to wait for the outcome of the Scranton-
Upsala game to see if they would be tie
or the outright winners of the division.
With a win the Royals would have forced
a playoff game on Wednesday, but a loss
by Scranton gave the Aggies the title.
On Saturday the Aggies did drop both
ends of a doubleheader to non-league
opponent. Moravian; losing the first
game 2- 1 in 10 innings and the second
1-0.
After dropping the first game to FDD
(7-5) the Aggies bounced back to win
game two 13-0 and force the situation
with Scranton. Bob McEvoy lifted his pit-
ching record to 5-0 by tossing a four hit-
ter; he has only allowed 17 hits in 35 inn-
ings this season and has an earned run
average of 1.80. Emil Novak provided
most of the offensive power. Novak,
who leads the team in batting average
(.404). slugging average (.744). and
runs batted in (19), drove in four runs in
the second game, three of them coming
when he picked up two hits during the
Aggies' 10-run sixth inning.
"1 was really happy with the way wc
came back in the second game." said
Coach Frank Wolfgang. "Especially after
we lost the first game. There was an awful
lot of pressure on us in the second game.

My heartfelt and best wishes to our returning Sopho-
mores. Jufiiors and Seniors dnd to all Freshmen and

Admissions Volunteer
Seminar
A one day seminar on the College's Admissions Pro-
gram has been scheduled for Saturday, September 8,
1984. The seminar, to be held on campus, has been
planned in an effort to familiarize those wishing to assist
in the College's Admissions effort as to the latest ad-
vances in the College's academic and extracurricular
programs.
The scheduled program includes a review of the ad-
missions process as well as general introductory ses-
sions on each academic division.
Interested students are encouraged to participate in
the seminar as students are often the most effective
representatives of the College. Current students can
also be most helpful in updating alumni and other vol-
unteers as to the latest changes on campus.
Those students who are interested in participating in
the seminar can sign up or receive more information by
contacting either the Admissions or Alumni offices by
Wednesday, September 5.

New Infirmary
A new location has been established for the Health
Services Center in the rear of Elson Hall. These new
quarters have been developed to further improve our
ability to serve the medical nveds of our student bod^.
Parking has been provided behind Elson Hall (along-
side of Eisner Hall) to accommodate those occasions
when transporation is necessary.
Entrance to the new infirmary is located at the rear of
Elson Hall. Infirmary hours will be posted on the various
campus bulletin boards.
The Health Services Center also provides confiden-
tial, personal counseling. These services are offered to
students on a drop-in basis. Wednesdays from 2-5
p.m. and Thursdays from 5-8 p.m. Students ar« en-
couraged to use this service in order to deal with any
questions concerning adjustment to the college experi-
ence, (stress, anxiety, depression, etc.)
Introducing CISM
— taken from Green & Gold Horizons
In response to an ever-growing need for graduates
trained in the field of computer information, the college
now offers a major in Computer Information Systems
Management (CISM).
" The CISM program is a natural out-growth of de-
velopments in our Business Administration program."
said Dr. John Mertz, dean of academics. Instead of
focusing on the computer as a machine as is done in
computer science programs, our major will focus on
current business applications of the computer."
A student who majors in CISM will automatically
minor in Business Administration. A student who ma-
jors in Business Administration can elect to minor in
CISM. As with every other major, students will be re-
quired to complete twenty-four weeks of practical work
experience within the major.
The program's stated aim is to develop uniquely
qualified graduates to fill the career needs in the public
and private sectors of corporate America. Dean Mertz
indicated that the college hopes to have between 1(X)
and 120 students enrolled in the major.
Dr. Theodore Christie, asscx:iate professor of mathe-
matics, was named acting chairman of the CISM De-
partment. In that capacity, Dr. Christie will lead the
search for a permanent department chairman and addi-
tional faculty members as well as counsel students in-
terested in the new major.
Most of the equipment needed for the CISM major is
already on hand. A Prime system with sixteen terminals
for student use was just installed this past September. In
addition to the Prime system, the college has a variety
of Eagle and Apple personal computers.
"Students in the CISM major will gain experience on
each different type of equipment we have," said Dr.
Christie.
Sometime in the near future, probably next summer,
Allman Hall will be renovated from the ground up and
made into a computer center.
Welcome and good luck to all the new students who
are enrolled in the CISM program.

Play Fair
by Jean Meyer
How do you make freshmen feel comfortable in a
new surrounding? On the first day, the only people
they know is their roommate! Well. DVC has a great
way to show their warmth to the class of '88 and "Play
Fair" is the answer. ' ' ■■ '• . ■^■
On Monday, the 27th. "Play Fair." hosted by Jeff
and sponsored by Student Government, helped make
the freshmen class feel like an "aggie." Jeff ac-
complished this impossible task by asking the students
to participate in doing crazy things. For example. Jeff
had everyone finding others with the same birthdate.
Once in a group, the students sat in a circle on each
others knees. I know "crazy!" But the night continued
with forming groups of two's and learning how to start
an argument with their partners. The roof almost ex-
ploded with all the yelling! Then we were told to form
groups of three's. One person went first and told the
other two in the group to do a crazy thing. For exam-
ple, hugging all the gorgeous guys or walking up to a
girl and telling her that she is pretty. At the end of the
night, we picked partners and instead of dancing nor-
mally, we danced back to back and then exchanged
partners at the sound of a whistle.
Throughout the entire night, the laughter never
stopped. At the end of the evening, instead of shy.
confused faces, the students felt great and very friend-
ly towards each other. For the class of '88, the first
night of their stay at DVC started with a boom!
CROSS COUNTRY 1984
The Delaware Valley College Men's and Women's
Cross Country Teams extend an open invitation to any-
one who might be interested in. running cross country
this fall. Although prior running experience is some-
times helpful, a significant number of our varsity run-
ners began their running careers here at DVC.
Both the Men's and Women's Teams had winning
seasons in 1983. but both teams lost some key people
from their 1983 squads, and therefore there is a great
need for new team members to help compliment those
returning from last year's squads.
Team captains for this year's squads will be Tom
Reynolds and Kim Hack The track coach Mr. Jim
Eicorn will be coaching the Women's Team and Dr.
Bob Berthold will be returning for his sixteenth year as
head Men's coach.
If you think that you might be the least bit interested
in running cross country here at Delaware Valley Col-
lege, you are urged to report to the Lobby of the James
Work Gymnasium between 4:00 and 4:15 P.M. pre-
pared to practice Please look for and introduce yourself
to either of the coaches or captains.
Aggie Football Camp Notes
by Duke Blessing
On Friday. August 17. the Aggies opened up the
1984 football season with 154 prospective players in
camp. Thanks to the recruiting efforts of coaches Wil-
son. Massino and Davis, the Aggies have the quantity
to develop a strong team, very deep at each position.
Former Central Bucks East head coach Chuck Rocconi
is leading the way for the Aggies offense which has
several key starters returning.
It's much too early for any predictions for the upcom-
ing year but. if the quantity can be transformed into
quality, an MAC championship seems very possible
and probable.

What's Gone on Before?
(The Summer in Review)
by E.D.W,
Well, it's hard to believe it, but Labor
Day is over and school is in full swing.
Before we get lost in the new school
year, let's take a look at what has hap-
pened during the summer.
.., If you think back to February, you will
remember that this year is a leap year, a
four-year event which means one extra
day of presidential campaigning. The
first party to wow us with their conven-
tion was the Democrats. The first black
presidential hopeful in history. Jesse
Jackson, moved America to a new
awareness of itself. This new awareness
was emphasized with the nomination of
Geraldine Ferraro as the first woman
candidate for Vice President. Her run-
ning mate is none other than former Vice
President Walter Mondale.
As presidential elections are four-year
events, so are the Olympic Games. The
XXIII Olympic Games of Los Angeles
brought lots of first's and in more ways
than one. For the first time in history,
U.S. men and women received medals
in gymnastics, the men's team a gold and
the women's a silver. These athletes won
American's hearts. Who will ever forget
Mary Lou Retton's perfect lO's on the
vault. But the Olympic first's were not
the only medals. For the first time the
Olympic Games held a women's mara-
thon and though Joan Benoit won the
race, all of our hearts went out to Gabriela
Andersen Schiess, the Swiss marathon
runner who staggered and swayed on
the verge of collapse as she entered the
LA. Coliseum. All of us wanted to reach
out and help her along but to her, all she
could focus on was that no one touch
her and to cross the finish line. She did
finish, collapsing just past the line and
placing 23rd. Yes indeed, it was a sum-
mer for the ladies — almost. .jr 'i
In August. Miss America, for the first
time ever, had to resign her post due to
explicit photographs of her being
published in Penthouse Magazine.
. Being overshadowed with political flap
about finances the Republicans renomi-
nated Ronald Reagan and George Bush
to run for President while the Democrats
swam for their lives in the pool of Ferraro
finances.
To prove the underdog can win. the
FBI sting backfired as John DeLorean
was found not guilty on cocaine charges.
We now have to decide — will this fall
be as action packed as the summer of
'84?
THE ENGLISH ARE COMING
THE ENGLISH ARE COMING
Well, it's official ~ DVC will be work-
ing together with the Men-ist Wood Agri-
cultural College from England on a 1985
Philadelphia Flower Show exhibit.
This should be an experience of a life-
time, as two of the finest Ornamental
Horticulture colleges in the world plan
and produce a show-stopper Rower
Show exhibit. This will be one of the
most ambitious exhibits ever undertaken
by DVC.
We need good people to make it hap-
pen. If you have an interest in working
on the exhibit in any way. look for
notices about the next meeting or contact
Dr Martin whose office is located in the
Greenhouse complex. Join us! Come
out and make this year's Flower Show a
show-stopping success.
The Hillman Sitting Garden
by E.D.W.
' Some of you may have been wonder-
ing what is going on next to the Library.
The construction work is the foundation
for a new garden. This past year, a
donation was made by Mrs. Hillman and
her family to create a new garden on
campus. Mrs. Hillman is the daughter of
CHAIRMAN OF COLLEGE'S
CISM PROGRAM NAMED
Gene Lewis has been appointed Act-
ing Chairman of the newly-created Com-
puter Information Systems Management
Department at DVC, president Joshua
Feldstein announced.
"We are proud to have someone like
Mr. Lewis join the College," said Dr.
Feldstein. "We look forward to having
him make our new program grow over
the next few years "
■ Lewis, a 37-year-old New Britain resi-
dent, is anxious to undertake the chal-
lenge of making the CISM major, which
will be offered for the first time this fall,
as successful as the College's 10 other
majors.
" "As far as I'm concerned the CISM
program at DVC is being offered at the
right time," said Lewis. "The demand is
out there for people trained in the com-
puter field and the demand will be there
for at least the next 20 years. The CISM
program is a significant enhancement of
the College's already fine programs."
Lewis has spent the last 12 years in
computer systems-related jobs. Most
recently, he was employed as Systems
Marketing Manager for Drexelbrook
Engineering Company in Horsham. Pre-
viously, Lewis spent four years as a
Senior Instructor in process management
systems for Honeywell, Inc.
Lewis was graduated from Grove City
College with a degree in Mathematics in
1%8 and earned his Masters in Systems
Management from the University of
Southern California. He went on to
serve five years in the United States
Air Force, three as a Minuteman ICBM
crew commander and two as a training
instructor.
Lewis' duties at the College will be to
manage and administer the academic
portion of the CISM program and to
recruit new students for the program.
"I will be helping to find people to
teach, primarily in the evening program
at first but later, as the program grows,
for the day school," said Lewis. "I'll also
be responsible for letting high school
students know about our program, as
well as teaching some of the courses."
Lewis and his wife Dianne have one
child, Denise, who is one-year-old.

the school's founder, Dr. Krauskoph,
therefore it is fitting that the garden
be constructed next to the Krauskoph
Library. But Mrs. Hillman is not the only
person connected with the garden. The
design for it was provided by alumnus
Steve Quigly '73 and the construction by
Mr. Herbert Millstone, class of '53. The
garden will consist of brick areas in in-
tricate patterns. The plants for the
garden were selected by Mr. Ray and will
include dogwoods and azalea plantings
along with perennial plantings for year-
round color. The plants will be planted
by the school grounds department under
Tim Vericallo with completion scheduled
lor October. .^■■■^;:^^^..,--; ^.;-- :.:,,/-, ,-^_:

ON THE SPORTS FRONT
AN OLYMPIC VIEWPOINT
by Duke Blessing
I had several long-winded articles pre-
pared for Raw Pages concerning my
thoughts on the 1984 summer Olympics
recently completed in Los Angeles. 1
contemplated writing in praise of the
likes of Joan Benoit, the winner of the
first-ever Olympic marathon for women;
the men's gymnastic team, the multi-
talented and humble Carl Lewis, the
untouchable Edwin Moses and Greg
Louganis, the unchallenged U.S. men's
basketball team (sorry guys of the 1960
Olympic team, this group is the greatest
ever), the clutch performance of Mary
Lou Retton and the tear- jerking, heart
wrenching victory by Greco-Roman
wrestler Jeff Blatnick who only two short
years ago was fighting for his life. >-
With all the positives mentioned
above, it would seem like these Olympics
were ultra-successful even without the
Soviet-Bloc nations. But there are a few
black spots which I can't seem to get out
of my mind and it makes me wonder
what the Olympics' true meaning is and
what they are becoming.
The judging and scoring for the boxing
matches involving U.S. fighters was an
absolute disgrace! I hope nobody is
seriously comparing this team to the
1976 boxing team, because frankly,
there is no comparison whatsoever!
Another mess occurred during the
Kathy Sullivan interview of Mary Decker.
Miss Sullivan really put the screws to
Mary Decker and broke her down to
tears. She tried to make up for all of it
with an apology at the end but it was too
late, the damage had been done.
Finally, I have to comment on the two
biggest jokes of any Olympics — and
they had to start during the Hollywood
Olympics — rhythmic gymnastics and
synchronized swimming. What is the
purpose of these events? I wonder if
Tracie Ruiz has washed all the gelatin our
of her hair yet? Has she found the key to
unlock her jaw and frozen smile? Have
the girls from rhythmic gymnastics un-
tangled themselves from their ribbons
yet? Who ever did win the hoola-hoop
portion of the event? With the allowance
of these two new spectacles in the Olym-
-pics. it really does leave quite a bit to the
imagination as far as what else should be
included in the future.
If you have any suggestions (humor-
ous or not) for the 1988 summer Olym-
pics or any comments concerning the
views in this article, write to me in care of
Ram Pages. Box *988 and voice your
opinion!

THE FAT LADY
HAS SUNG!
by Duke Blessing
Although it is not officially over until
mathematical elimination, the 1984 Phil-
adelphia Phillies have to be hearing the
voice of the fat lady who has parked her
big bottom in the south side of Chicago,
at homey Wrigley Field.
This collection of no-field, non-oppor-
tunistic characters will watch their ex-
teammates waltz the National League
East division title and will sit back and
wonder what might have been.
Along with the numerous blunders on
the field the team is missing the spirit and
motivation that has typified Phillies base-
ball for the past decade. Listless ball-
players not ever half-heartedly attempt-
ing to search themselves for some soul.
The Veterans Stadium "boo-birds" have
plenty of reason to bellow in full force.
Fellows, hear my plea, although the
weight of the fat lady has apparently
drained your desire to continue to give it
your all. do a favor for yourselves and
especially your loyal fans — play out the
string with hustle, determination and
class because spring training is only a
little over five months away and 1985
brings another chance to shut the fat lady
up!

Aggte$ Open Season at
Randolph-Macon
by Joe Ferry
Delaware Valley College will kick off
its 1984 football season by taking on
Randolph -Macon College, located in
Ashland. Virginia, Saturday. September
8. Game time is 2 p.m.
The Aggies went 6-4 in 1983 after
winning or sharing the Middle Atlantic
Conference Northern Division title the
previous three years. The Aggies were
4-4 in the MAC last year.
DVC head coach Al Wilson, begin-
ning his ninth season, is hoping his team
can recapture the winning magic of the
championship years,
"I'm excited about this season," said
Wilson , whose team took on Gettysburg
College in a scrimmage last week. "We
lost a number of good players from last
year and they will be hard to replace. But
we have a solid nucleus returning and we
had a pretty good recruiting year. I think
we'll have a team which gets better as it
plays more together."
Senior Gary Kemberling will start at
quarterback against Randolph- Macon.
Kemberling replaces record-setting QB
Tom O'Neill, who graduated.
Senior Nick Russo moves into the
halfback slot vacated by Cosmo Losco.
who also graduated. Despite a subpar
season in 1983, Russo begins this year
just 850 yards short of Eric Reynolds' all-
time rushing record.
Senior John Avallone will take Russo's
spot at fullback. Avallone suffered
through two injury-plagued seasons
before finally getting through last year
without any major hurts. He had a fine
camp and appears ready to enjoy a solid
season .
The final member of the backfield will
be sophomore Paul Dennis. Dennis is
coming off a major knee injury but has
appeared solid in workouts.
The offensive line is a strong area, with
four of five starters returning, in George
Stahl, Eric Prostko, Joe Rada, John
Mazzola and newcomer Joe Harby. the
Aggies have an ideal blend of size,
strength, quickness and experience.
Split end Dan Glowatski starts the sea-
son just 1 1 catches and 66 yards short of
the College's all-time records in both
categories. A senior. Glowatski has good
speed and excellent hands.
One problem for the Aggies, however,
has been finding someone to comple-
ment Glowatski's pass-catching abilities.
Kevin Boyle, who was showing signs of
developing into that kind of receiver,
decided not to return to DVC for his
junior year.
"It's a major area of concern for us,"
said Wilson. "After Glowatski, we just
haven't been able to find someone who
can help us."
A Different Kind of Learning
Experience at DVC
Every Friday night at 7 p.m. you can
expect quite a bit of activity in the Stu-
dent Center Music Room. That's where
the DVC Christian Fellowship meets to
delve into the Holy Scriptures through
song, sharing and discussion. Every Fri-
day night the Fellowship hosts a speaker
(usually a local pastor) who talks about
some aspect of the Christian way of life.
The Fellowship is also planning other ac-
tivities, such as a Fall Retreat (September
28-30), weekend activities, picnics and
community service projects for this
semester. CF invites anyone who is in-
terested to stop by and join us. And may
God bless!
The same holds true at tight end,
where junior Brian Breneman is the
returnee. Wilson has tried several can-
didates at tight end to spell Breneman
but has not yet been successful .
Defensively, the questions are even
more numerous. All-American tackle
Dave Murphy graduated, leaving a gap-
ing hole in the defensive line. Junior Rob
Charette, last year's leading tackier, is
the anchor. Sophomore Chuck Heiber
has asserted himself at one of the end
spots while junior John Riley inherits the
other.
The linebacking crew seems solid with
returnees Joe Chrismer, Jim Hannon
and Bruce Sweda. The secondary, how-
ever, is still unsettled, with junior Joe
Cox, Steve Clark, senior Bob D'Arpa
and senior Joe Radaszewski the leading
candidates for starting jobs.
In Randolph-Macon, the Aggies will
be facing a team which started slowly last
year but wound up winning five of its last
six games. The Yellow Jackets finished
with an overall record of 5-5 and an Old
Dominion Athletic Conference record of
4-2.
The Aggies won last year's meeting
between the two teams by a 33-0 score.
Randolph- Macon has 13 starters back
from last year, including offensive tackle
Doug Seay. defensive back Jay Pitts,
running back Greg Amick and running
back Alan Wright (682 yards rushing. 22
receptions, four touchdowns) .
Defensive tackle Tom Shaw, who had
10 sacks among his 90 team-leading 90
tackles last year, is another key returnee
for the Yellow Jackets.
"This is a big game for us," said Wil-
son. "It's important that we start this
season off on a good foot. Randolph-
Macon is a very good team. We'll have
to be ready to give it our best shot."
After returning from Ashland, the Ag-
gies will begin preparations for their
home-opener against Albright College
Saturday, September 15 at James Work
Memorial Stadium.

Mrs. Jean Work
Decades of Dedication
E.D.W.
After 34 years of service to Delaware
Valley College, Mrs. Jean Work, wife of
past president. James Work, has decided
to retire as assistant to the president.
Mrs. Work's career began in 1950 when
she served as a secretary. She later
became an administrative assistant to the
then president Work. She served in that
post, till her husband's death in 1977. At
that time she became vice president of
administrative affairs. During those years
Mrs. Work was responsible for many
things, including the department of per-
sonnel, the post office, motor vehicles,
house keeping, and overseer of Dean of
students office. Later on she served as
business manager and a liason to the stu-
dent body and student government.
(When talking with anyone who knew
her, the students were her major concern.)
In testimony to her dedication to the stu-
dent body the class of '75 honored her
with the Jean Work memorial garden out-
side the Work gymnasium.
Mrs. Work was much respected by her
co-workers, as she was always there,
whether it was a campus concern or a
personal problem. Mrs. Work is viewed
by many as a big sister, favorite aunt, or
dear friend. To many, Mrs. Work was
the family person in the administration,
she made school home.
In most recent years Mrs. Work served
as vice president and assistant to the
president. (1980-1983) when she de-
cided to retire, she remained as the assis-
tant to the president until this year.
On Sunday, September 9th Mrs. Work
was honored at a dinner, where many
members of the Board of Trustees, (since
1977 Mrs. Work has been secretary and
still holds that post), faculty, administra-
tion, students, and alumni turned out to
say thanks and good luck.
Mrs. Work still plans to come to foot-
ball games (a true aggie at heart) and
other school events such as homecoming
and A-Day. One can only assume that
Florida or the Bahamas also fit into her
plans.

What's Happening around
the O.H. Building?
By Jamie Beck
Our new O.H. building was erected
last summer and finished late in the fall.
As the workmen were regrading the
grounds this summer they encountered a
number of complications. First, they ran
into a septic field, next the big oak tree by
the main building died, and finally, they
discovered flooding behind the building
due in part to drainage backup by the rail-
road tracks. Currently, they are trying to
solve these problems using a variety of
methods. At one time they tried to break
the septic field but then decided to put a
concrete platform over top to protect it.
The workers are having more difficulty
with taking down the oak tree than ex-
pected, but the tree should be down by
the printing of this article. They will also
be taking down a dead tree by Eisner
Hall, which is the new audio- visual
building.
The area around the OH. building
will be landscaped this coming spring
and some of it may even be done this fall.
Mr. Blau and students in his design class
are developing plans for the landscaping.
Plans are to build a Dwarf Conifer Garden
that will be by the library and stretch to
Eisner Hall, which then connects to the
Hillman Sitting Garden.
An OH. major alumnus of D.V.C.,
Martin Brooks, is assisting the department
with the Dwarf Conifer Garden project.
Frederick Gray is the coordinator of ar-
boreba and the Dwarf Conifer. The time
it will take for completion will be a couple
of years. Plans are to initially get some of
the Dwarf Conifer plants growing close
together, then to thin them out and
spread the plants
A WILD DANCE PARTY
By Jean Meyer
The first dance of the 1984 fall season
began with a bang on Saturday night.
But it was not just an old plain style
dance, where everyone stands in groups
of twos and threes and watches a half
dozen on the dance floor. No, it was sure
different! Why, because it was a video
dance. Everyone either watched the vid-
eo, danced or did both! It was really wild!
Or was it wild because it was the first
dance held in the new Student Center.
What ever the reason. I am sure that
everyone there had a great time!
The video dance was produced by the
Electric Video Company, Inc. on Sep-
tember 8th. To produce their music and
video, they use state of the art "Sony"
video equipment and "Bose" concert
system . The system combined resulted in
a very good time.
The Electric Video played exciting vid-
eos such as Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
and "Beat It", David Bowie, and Rod
Stewart. They played a variety of songs
to please everyone.
Special thanks go to Student Govern-
ment for sponsoring the Wild Dance par-
ty and to the Electric Video for putting on
the first dance of the semester.

How many of you are bored and tired
of the same old dull weekends? Tired of
sitting in your rooms and watching TV.?
Why don't you do something for yourself
and your school? We are getting people
together on weekends to work on different
areas of the campus, to improve and
beautify it. to make it look like it should.
The school does not have the man power
to do it all themselves so we would like to
help them. It's going to be a lot of fun to
get out with your friends and work to-
gether on cleaning up and fixing areas
such as Lake Archer and the Arboretum,
the woodland area behind the Ag. build-
ing, the Dwarf Conifer garden, the green-
house area, and many other areas. If any-
one has any suggestions on things to do
or any ideas about the outside of the
campus please drop a note in my box —
Alan. Box 950. or stop by Goldman 106
for further details. Let's see if we can get
people together, who care and want to
keep busy, and get this campus on a role
of beauty. Tools and any equipment
needed will be supplied.
Saturday, September 8th we went to
Lake Archer and started on the Arbore-
tum. We worked on cleaning the area
around the lake and the Arboretum itself.
Also some prunning and planting were
done. Overall we had a good time im-
proving our second home and hope to
see more people show up next time. We
had about eight people for the morning
and about five in the afternoon. Saturday.
September 15th might be our next day
out at the lake. Look for details and a
sign-up in the cafe.
I would also like to thank everyone
who showed up Saturday and would like
to especially thank Mr. Ray for his time
and devotion he put out with us. Thank
you.
Sincerely.

by Bob Wecht
On Wednesday night September 5,
over 40 Doylestown residents and many
more DVC students watched one of the
funniest and informative shows on hyp-
notism this college has seen in years.
James J. Mapes, a fourteen-year veteran
of hypnosis therapy, not only made us
laugh until we ached, but set our minds
at ease concerning the untrue fears of
hypnotism and it*, so called ill effects. He
first gave a brief history of this technique
and explained the six stages of hypno-
tism. At first 27 people came to the
stage. After a few relaxation suggestions
and a basic suggestibility test (concen-
trating on one thing) only 18 people
were left on stage. These remaining
voyagers were put aboard the space ship
PSI (representing the 23rd letter of the
Greek alphabet and a symbol identifying
or symbolizing those parts of our minds
that can't be proven to exist by science) .
At one point, they believed a little green
man was under their seat and one stu-
dent. Chuck Hess, was so scared of his
miniature gumby that he fell off the stage
right on his rear end! The participants
were made to do a variety of things such
as doing the twist, moving in slow mo-
tion and reacting to different types of
movies as six-year-olds. The finale con-
sisted of only three people. Each was
brought back in time first to 12 and then
to six-years-old. At each different time
period they put their signatures on the
black board with a kindergarten drawing
to boot. Everyone had a great time and I
hope that Mr. Mapes continues to bring
laughter and enlightenment to DVC stu-
dents for years to come.

ON THE SPORTS FRONT
Aggies Surprised by
Randolph-Macon,
Prepare for MAC Opener
If there was a silver lining in the dark
cloud that was Delaware Valley College's
season -opening 34-23 loss to Randolph-
Macon College Saturday afternoon, it is
that the Aggies probably won't commit
eight turnovers in a game the rest of the
season.
And considering the fact that the Ag-
gies racked up 379 yards in total offense
despite the four lost fumbles and the four
interceptions, brighter days may still be in
the offing. Aggies head coach Al Wilson
is hoping they will begin Saturday when
the Aggies take on Albright College in a
1:30 p.m. game at James Work Memo-
rial Stadium.
"We just didn't execute." said Wilson
after the Randolph -Macon game. "We
just made too many mistakes. You can't
give up the ball eight times and still
expect to win."
Despite the loss there wett a couple of
highlights for the Aggies. Senior running
back Nick Russo had one of the best
games of his collegiate career, carrying
the ball 28 times for 111 yards and two
touchdowns. Russo also caught three
passes for 40 yards. Russo was a real
workhorse during the Aggies' 18-play
scoring drive in the first half, toting the
ball 1 1 times for 33 yards.
Another player enjoying a fine game
was senior split end Dan Glowatski. who
caught seven passes for 151 yards and a
touchdown. When he caught a five-yard
TD pass from Gary Kemberling in the
second quarter, Glowatski became the
Aggies' all-time receiving yardage leader,
passing Harry Capozzoli. Glowatski now
has 1.929 yards receiving in his career.
He needs five more catches to surpass
Capozzoli in that category also.
Defensively, the Aggies were led by
sophomore middle linebacker Jim Han-
non. senior tackle Joe Risi and tackle
Bob Charette. Risi was named Doyles-
town Moose Club Player of the Week for
his performance.
"Wc played well at times," said
Wilson. "But we need more consistency
and concentration. We'll have to have
our act together this week against
Albright." " .. v.
The Lions will be playing their season -
opener this week against Delaware Val-
ley College. Albright was 5-4 last year.
The Aggies won last year's contest by a
26-7 score and have now won five
straight games against the Lions.
Albright's last win in the series came in
1977 by a 35-8 score. Albright leads the
season series between the teams by a
10-9 margin.
The Lions have 16 starters back from
last year's team. They are led on offense
by running back Chris Arnout. who car-
ried the ball 189 times for 661 yards and
a touchdown last year.
MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY
On Tuesday, September 4th. the DVC
cross country team made its 1984 debut
in a scrimmage meet against Bucks
County Community College. The team
showed strong individual strength as well
as good pack running in an impressive
20-37 win. Junior Ken McDaid 6i DVC
won the race in a time of 29:29 on our
5.4 mile course. He was followed by soph-
omore Dave Spotts in second (30:22).
DVC then took fourth and fifth places in
the persons of junior transfer. Al Krouse
and senior captain, Tom Reynolds. Clos-
ing our the scoring for the Aggies was
Don Billet (8th). Rick Johnson (10th).
and John Thomson (llth).;*^ >^ -;!; ^c ;
On Saturday, the Harriers competed
in the Lebanon Valley Invitational. The
meet attracted 190 runners from Division
II and 111 schools. When all of the results
were tallied. DVC emerged with an im-
pressive 10th place finish (out of 21
schools). Of the 21 teams present, 11
were from the MAC Conference and
DVC was the 4th place team in that divi-
sion. Individually. Ken McDaid again led
the way for the Aggie finishing in 35th
place. Once again he was followed closely
by teammates Dave Spotts (57th). Tom
Reynolds (60th). and Al Krouse (63rd).
The team travels to Wilkes College
tomorrow to compete against Wilkes.
Kings College, and Bloomsburg.

Your article on the summer Olympics
was very interesting but you seemed to
have missed a few well appreciated sports.
Women's volleyball was a very uplifting
sport plus we came out with a silver
medal. Women's basketball was also a
highly emotional sport that ended up
with a gold medal that you really should
not have overlooked. Why not mention
them, you mentioned men's basketball?
Your nasty comments on synchronized
swimming were ridiculous. Those girls
spent nine years of their life trying to
perfect their routine together and they
deserved the gold medal they received.
In my opinion Greco-Roman wrestling
should be taken out of the Olympics, but
we all have our opinion.
Sincerely,
Connie Hajioannou
Dear Connie,
I realize that I "missed" a few sports m
my brief coverage of the Olympic high-
lights but my intent was to touch on what
I felt were the brightest parts of the two
weeks and not to compose a doctoral
thesis of the 1984 summer Olympics.
.Any team that practices eight hours a
day. six days a week for several years (as
our women's volleyball team did) had
better win a medal! As for the women's
basketball team — they faced absolutely
no competition..
My comments concerning synchronized
swimming were based on the opinions of
many sports analysts. Farmers spend four-
teen to eighteen hours a day for an entire
lifetime "perfecting their routine." but
should farming becoming an olympic
sport? Sports is guts, sweat, and deter-
mination and 1 felt that synchronized
swimming did not contain enough of any
of these qualities. Thanks for the letter
Connie!

Changes on Campus
This Year
Bv Jamil' Bfck
TluTo fiavt' bff 11 iiunit'rous changys
oti campus to make everythitig nicer for
t'veryom',
Mr Norman Schorr, an alumnus who
IS in tht' aluminum busint'ss. provided us
with iH'w scrfc'fiis for all the dorms. These
screens will conserve energy by adding
insulation to the dorms
I)r Arthur Wolf, vice president of Fi-
nancial Affairs and Planning and other
membi'rs of the administratioit are very
pleased with the work done on the second
floor of Segal Hall The wf)rkmen put in
a new ceiling atid new lights, in addition
tf) takitig down the partitions to make a
new Arts Center They also installed a
new bf:)iler in Segal's basement which pro
vides energy to Elson Hall. Segal Hall,
and the Ruciley-Neumann Gym This
boiler is a lot more energy efficient than
the last one.
We have a new Infirmary. Its located
m the n-ar of HIson Hall. The unit takes
the place of several bedrooms. While
building the facility, the builders retiled
tik' bathroom. The old infirmarv' in Ulman
Hall is Ix'ing used for the community
coordinator and student bedrooms.
fiisner Hall has beei^ made into an
Audio Visual Center. The builders got
the interior redone to provide a nice, en-
ergy saving facility and also make it a
nice place for studv and storage. The
lower level of the library will become
more of a storage area for journals and
magazines, while remaining as a study
area.
Many changes in the administration's
office areas The Business Administration
offices inoved from Lasker Hall to
Allman where the Registrar used to be
The Registrar moved to Lasker Hall
where the Accounting office had been
housed and the Accounting office moved
to the previous location of the Business
Administration offices.
Both Cooke and Barness Halls were
painted and new hall lights were installed
to make the dorms brighter.
The main parking lot is being expanded
to make more parking space for students'
parking. The workers cleared the space
and laid gravel, but the stones will have
to settle this year; during the summer of
1985 the area will be blacktopped.
An intramural field will be established
behind the railroad tracks, opposite the
football field. Two acres have been allo-
cated for the field The field will be re-
placing some of the crops in the orchard.
The next big project is to create a com-
puter center in Allman Hall. This will pro-
vide more space for the computers
Dr Wolf says he is very pleased with
what has been done and that most of the
cost for the building will be paid from the
savings from the fuel and energy costs.

Another First
for Mr. Adelson
and for DVC
Bu Tim Ireland
After M) years of service to Del Val.
Mr Adelson has been promoted from
Acting Dean of Student Services to Dean
of Student Services. This position was
created only last year in an attempt to
bring all the vanous student services
together for coordination. So. he is the
first to hold this position.
Mr Adelson started at DVC back in
1%4 as a research associate His reason
for coming to DVC was to work under
I)r Albert Schatz. co-discoverer of
Streptocmycin. - ■
In 1958 he was asked to design the Bi-
ology [department and became its first
Department Chairperson. Later, when
the school decided to combine the Biolo-
gy, Chemistry, Math and Physics Depart-
ments (Food Industry was added later).
Department Chairman Adelson became
[division Chairman of Science Adelson.
Mr Adelson also holds the distinction
of being the only faculty member at DVC
to be appointed Associate Dean twice!
He was appointed Associate Dean early
in 1973 while he was still the Chairman
of the Science Division. In September of
1973 he suffered a heart attack and gave
up his position He was re appointed
Associate Dean about three years ago.
More about his past:
Mr Adelson has a Bachelors Degree
in Biology along with a Master's Degree
in Biology. He worked toward his Doc
Plioto by Tim Iri'land
torate at Rutgers University in zoology
with an emphasis on Marine Biology,
specifically working on the mortality of
oysters in Delaware Bay He got to know
Dr. Schatz while at Rutgers, who was
Mr. Adelson's reasoP for coming to Del
Val.
His new position:
As Dean of Student Services. Mr Adel-
son will work to coordinate all student
services including: admissions, place-
ment, student counseling, dining hall
manager, infirmary (health services),
superintendent of motor vehicles, security
and Dean of Students. Mr. Adelson
hopes that, "the coordination of these
services will enable us to do a better job
at providing for the needs of the students."
He feels that they are moving in the right
direction but that there is still much more
to be done. "The student should feel com-
fortable and happy with dining, social
activities and living accomodations."
Areas where improvements are already
evident are in the placement office, head-
ed by Mr. Craver. which is doing very
well and in reestablishing communications
between student government and the
dining hall.
Mr. Adelson claims that. "Our proce-
dure is designed to improve and accom-
plish." and he adds, "we will do it!" Their
ultimate goal is to open a continual line
of communication where, through the
student government, the students can
voice their concerns and pleasures.
Mr. Adelson was chosen because the
school was looking for someone who
. could look at the students from both an
academic standpoint and from a "campus
life" standpoint. He feels that he has
been here long enough to know what
needs to be done. He feels that he is fur-
ther qualified because he has a 19-year-
old son, which enables him to have
some understanding of our generation.
One might think that with all these
responsibilities he would have time to do
little else yet, Mr. Adelson continues to
assist Mr. Johnson with Ecology in the
fall and to teach Histology in the spring.
He does so because he likes to teach and
he feels that the classroom contact with
students helps him to keep his finger on
the pulse of things.
Good Luck Dean Adelson!

Dear Editors
Summer's come and summer's gone
but where are all our promised garbage
cans? We went through about three
years now without enough. Some of us
went through it longer but let's hope we
won't have to go through it any longer
than this year. 1 think the school should
purchase a can that can be permanently
installed so none can be stolen. Let's see
if we can get some cans so the garbage
can be put where it belongs.
Now let's also try to get everyone to-
gether and put the waste where it belongs.
I can't understand why someone would
throw bottles, cans, paper and other
wastes out of a window onto the grounds
of a place where they spend nine months
of their year. Why don't you slobs start
realizing this is your home for the next
few years and try to make it look like it
should. Like Dr. Feldstein says, "This
place will look like an island Paradise
someday."
So let's work together, please work to-
gether and chip in, pick up any trash you
see now and put it in the cans and until
we get new ones use the ones we already
have. Thanks.
Sincerely,
A concerned neighbor.

How Good Are You
At Chess?
The Delaware Valley College Chess
Club and the Doylestown Chess Club
are co-sponsoring a nationally advertised,
USCF rated chess tournament. Sunday
September 23rd. open to the public.
USCF is the United States Chess Federa-
tion. The tournament is the Del Val Fall
Quads. Each quad is a group of four play-
ers that, in three games, play each other
a game of chess. Games are played in
the Student Center Coffeehouse at
10:00 A.M., 1:00 P.M. and 4:00 P.M.
Registration is at 9:00 A.M. The entry
fee is $5.00. There is a first prize of
$10.00 and a second prize of $5.00 for
each quad. Ralph Bleiler of the Doyles-
town Chess Club is the tournament
director.
Tournament chess games are a chal-
lenge to play. Each player uses a clock,
connected to his opponent's clock, so
that each player has 40 minutes to make
20 moves, 80 minutes to make 40 moves,
etc. A player who runs out of time before
his opponent forfeits the game because
of time. Games can end at any time
because of a mate. Most players keep a
record of their moves during the game,
to study or gloat over after the tournament.
Visitors are welcome, provided there
are no distracting noises, comments or
movements. Del Val Quads are becom-
ing a semi-annual event at Delaware Val-
ley College, The winter quad was held
this past February with Dr. Allison as the
tournament director. There were 16
players in the February tournament.
Ratings ranged from unrated to 1996.
The highest rated player in each quad
did not always win. Wins must be earned
over the chessboard . The last tournament
had only one Del Val student entered,
probably because there was next to no
local publicity.
Dear Editors
I went to the Student Store today, and
do you know what? It was closed! This is
starting to become a typical occurence
for me (yes. maybe I should learn what
the hours are) , but this particular store is
called the STUDENT Store and it is in
the STUDENT Center with a STUDENT
Snack Bar and a STUDENT Game
Room.
Students are here (whether 75 over
the summer or 1400 during the semester),
24 hours a day and do you know what
that means? That means the Student
Center should be open 24 hours a day.
(Some people really do have trouble
sleeping.)
The Snack Bar should definitely be
open during dinner hours (it was not
over the summer) since not everyone
cares to eat at the cafeteria (one of the
more major reasons I moved off cam-
pus). And yes, people really do eat on
Friday and Saturday nights.
The Student Store should also be
open almost constantly so that when you
can afford to buy something in there you
can. (Whatever happened to the 25% dis-
count after football games and the end-
of-the year sale like in the old store?
They were great!) Since it is an "expand-
ed" store it should also carry more sup-
plies than Del Val promotional items.
1 do realize it costs money to pay people
to work more hours, but this is a private
institution so I assume it is a profit-
making organization. Anyway, the Stu-
dent Center is there, supposedly for the
students and if there is a major problem
with affording it, it should have been
ELEPHANT STEW
(Stolen from the Dining Hall recipe file.)
1 elephant — salt and pepper
2 rabbits (optional)
Cut one elephant into bite size pieces.
This should take about two months. Add
brown gravy to cover. Cook over kero-
sene fire at 465° for four weeks. This will
serve 3,800 people. If more are expected,
two rabbits may be added, but do this
only if necessary because most people
do not like to find hare in their stew.

thought of before it was ever built. I also
realize that there are the idiots on cam-
pus who prefer to vandalize rather than
make use of something that is supposed
to be for them, but still, everyone else
should not have to suffer because of a
few (nothing wrong with a full time
security guard). If people on campus
don't want to work the off hours (Friday
and Saturday nights), jjve the jobs to
outside people.
We know that there are a number of
people who don't particularly care for the
Student Center, especially when you
have to force people, clubs, etc. to use it.
All I'm trying to do is use it when I want,
whenever I want. As long as there is ONE
student who may need the services it of-
fers it should be available for that one
person.
Sincerely,
After all it is called
the Student Center.
Dear Upset over Student Center,
Our suggestion to you is to go to either
the directors of the Student Center or to
the Student Government Committee
that was set up for complaints about the
Student Center. You must realize that it
is impossible for the Student Center to be
open 24 hours a day for security reasons
and it's not financially possible for all the
areas to be covered by employees for 24
hours a day. Again, see the Student
Government Committee if you are
unhappy. They are the ones who can get
something done.

ATTENTION
PARENTS!
A suggestion from the Ram Pages
staff: After spending a "long, tir-
ing day" with that "child" that you
"couldn't wait to send off to college,"
why not treat her/him to an "expen-
sive" dinner at one of the many
"fine" restaurants in the center of
Doylestown!
SORRY! It was only a suggestion!
Dear Aggie,
Dear Aggie. ,^ ;, ;.:_■_
I am a fairly attractive girl with a boy-
friend at home where I live. My problem
is every time I'm in the cafeteria, or just
walking, some guy tries to pick me up. I
am faithful to my boyfriend but it is hard
for me to keep telling guys no. What
should I do? !
Faithfully his
Dear Faith, * *
I don't know what you consider faithful
But I don't see anything wrong with go-
ing with a few friends (guys) to a coffee-,
house or a dance if it's just for fun . How-
ever, if you want to remain faithful to
him, don't let it go past that.

Dear Readers,
If anyone has a problem and feels that
others may have the same, please write
me (Dear Aggie), c/o Ram Pages, so
you can all get your answer.
LEARN NOT TO BURN:
It's Your Choice
Every day you are called upon to
make decisions. Among your choices is
whether you will live safely or recklessly
with fire. Unfortunately, some people
choose to be reckless and either die or
are seriously burned or cause others to
die in campus fires. You can avoid this if
you choose to. You can keep your life,
your possessions and your friends.
Your room on campus can be con*
sidered your apartment; it is your home.
Your residence hall can be thought of in
terms of an apartment complex. More
than likely, you are keeping most of your
personal possessions in your room. When
you are aware of fire safety, your posses-
sions and you will be protected.
You will be fire safe when you avoid
fire hazards. The three most common
causes of fire are cigarettes, appliances
and heating elements. It would be easier
to avoid responsibility for safety than to
avoid hazards. But responsibility comes
with being on your own. If you avoid
responsibility for safety, the consequences
for you and your friends can be tragic.
Even if you choose to live safely, some
of your friends may not. A fire is not
planned ahead of time. You can plan
ahead, however, to act quickly and safely.
1. Know how to get out if your exit is
blocked. Make sure you know at least
two ways out.
2. If there is a fire in your room, get our
and close the door. A closed door can
hold back the fire.
3. If the fire is somewhere else, feel your
room door before opening it. If your
door is hot. do not open it. Fill air
spaces with towels,
4. Carry a towel to protect yourself from
smoke inhalation Wear a coat and
hard-soled shoes.
5. Keep windows and doors closed so
the fire is not circulated.
6. Crawl if the building is smoke filled.
There 's fresh air near the f!f)or.
7 Do not go back. None of your posses-
sions are worth going back for. Many
people have died returning to a
building on fire.
Will you ignore safety and endanger
yourself and others? Or. will you avoid
the hazards that kill and injure students
on campus? The choice is really up to
you.

Horticulturist & Humanitarian
Died at 71
By LE.B.
How many of you have hiked out past
Lake Archer, the soccer field, and across
the road to the greenhouses? My guess is
that a good number of OH. students
have! Those greenhouses, known as
Burpee's greenhouses are located on
Fordhook Farms, the estate of the late
Lois Torrance Burpee. Mrs. Burpee very
graciously leased the greenhouses to
DVC for a very nominal fee.
On Monday evening, September 3rd,
Lois Torrance Burpee. 7L collapsed in
Kennedy Airport in New York, after a
flight back from England where she was
visiting her sister. Mrs. Burpee, who still
resided on Fordhook Farms, was the
widow of David Burpee who for 55 years
was the owner of the internationally
known W. Atlee Burpee Co. He sold the
company to General Foods in 1970.
If you ever met Mrs. Burpee, you
would know that she was a very friendly,
simple, but concerned person and these
aspects radiated throughout her life.
When Mrs. Burpee met up with Pearl S
Buck, they formed an international
adoption agency for Amerasian children
which they called the Welcome House in
1949. The first headquarters of this well-
known organization was at Fordhook
Farms.
Lois Burpee spent a lot of time in her
gardens around Fordhook. She called
herself "a plain garden cook," and often
experimented with the vegetables which
she harvested. Out of her gardening ex-
periences became her anecdotal collec-
tion of her recipes and gardening tips
entitled "Lois Burpee's Gardener's Com-
panion and Cookbook." This was pub-
lished in 1983 by Harper and Row.
Mrs. Burpee was also a founder and
president of the Doylestown Preschool
Association, a longtime member of the
Village Improvement Association of
Doylestown. serving on the hospital
committee, a founder of the Bucks
County Mental Health Society, and a
member of the Doylestown Nature Club
for more than 40 years and was active
with the club in trying to establish an ar-
boretum at the Fonthill museum property.
Because Lois Burpee was such an ac-
tive person in the Bucks County commu-
nity, she received many awards for her
charitable work, in 1979, she was hon-
ored as Woman of the Year by the Pearl
S. Buck Foundation. She was presented
with the Bucks County Golden Circle
Award in 1981 and the Humanitarian
Award of the Central Bucks Chamber of
Commerce in 1982. Obviously, this lead-
ing citizen of Bucks County will be great-
ly missed.

A Last Minute Thought
By Joan Meyer
Student Government sponsored a
D.J. Dance on Saturday the 15th in
honor of the first home football game.
The dance was a very last minute thought
that turned into a great idea! The local
D.J., Ron Fiscano, played a wide range
of songs and he also played any requests.
The music was a little loud, but the stu-
dents still had fun. Everyone there danced
the night away and there was plenty of
punch to drink when they rested before
songs.
The night before the dance was not
very successful. Student Government
sponsored a coffeehouse with Glen Elliot
the host of the show. Glen Elliot had an
excellent voice except each song sound-
ed the same. He was not a very good
entertainer because his songs had the
tendency to put the audience to sleep.
The small audience did enjoy the
delicious donuts.
I do want to thank Student Govern-
ment for providing the student body with
coffeehouses and dances. They always
make the weekend interesting and fun!

No Matter ...
What Happens . • .
By L.E.B.
Eastern Europe ... at the turn of the
century in a town with gravel streets, out-
side markets and the Jewish religion, in a
time where women were forbidden to
learn, there was YENTL.
Barbara Streisand, the director, actress
and dreamer of YENTL. carried the part
of a woman who wanted to and succeed-
ed in learning. She changed her identity
to a man and studied under a rabbi. Her
(or should 1 say his) best friend, Avigdar,
was a man who was engaged to a "beau-
tiful" woman who was forbidden to marry
him. Yentl married Hadass. Avigdar's
forbidden fiance, and this began a humor-
ous yet beautiful relationship.
In the end, Avigdar got Hadass, and
Yentl. she got her freedom — her free-
dom from Hadass aiui her freedom to
study and to be Yentl "No matter what
happens, it can't be the same anymore."
The soundtrack is one of the best that
Ms. Streisand has come up with yet. She
picks you up in the beginning and doesn't
let you down in the end. If you are a fan.
this movie and soundtrack is for you.
Thanks goes to social house who spon-
sored this movie last week. Keep it up.
My only complaint is about the audience.
If you are going to be getting up in the
middle of the movie, sit in the back.
About five people in front of me kept go-
ing out and coming back in. Next time,
either sit still or sit in the back!

Soccer Team
Booted by Scranton 11-1
By Duke Blessing
The Delaware Valley College soccer
team opened their 1984 season last Sat-
urday afternoon against perennial nemesis
Scranton University. The 11-1 final score
is an indication that once again. Scranton
is a Division III national powerhouse
In the first half, the Aggies managed to
send four shots just wide of the posts
while Scranton connected on only three
goals.
The second half was a different story
as Scranton blasted the Aggies defense
for eight goals to finish up the 11-1
whitewash.
The only DVC goal was netted by Rick
Berger off an Alex Simpson assist
The Aggies face Widener tomorrow at

The day did not stop at lunch because
the parents were invited to the football
game. The parents were greeted by the

Dear Editors
Filthy Dorms
+ Angry Students = Trouble
We all can figure out what this is and
we all want something done about it Yes,
filthy dorms (bathrooms and halls) are
what we angry students are faced with
and we're not going to take it any more.
As students at Del Val living here for
about eight months of our year we know
that we are entitled to a cleaner living
area. I live in Goldman and heard many
guys complaining about the grotesque
bathrooms and hallways we are faced
with day in and day out: mold and soap
scum in the showers, dirty sinks and stalls,
and tile that has no shine because it is
covered with soap, toothpaste, and
overall scum. We know that it's the
students who cause this but if the
janitorial service, our "screwed up" ser-
vice master, will leave our janitors in their
dorms to do their job. maybe they could
get something done. I've also heard
numerous complaints from Berkowitz
girls and the guys in Samuel.
As a student at Del Val, \ can't make
enough complaints along with other stu-
(.lents. I nwself have been to Mr. Zenkos
f)ffice numerous times complaining, and
little or nothing has improved. 1 came
back to (joldman because it was one of
the cleanest dorms on campus. I could
eat off the shower floor last year it was so
clean, now one can't even walk on it. or
fall whatever comes first
My next step is to higher authorities
unless something is done. DONE RIGHT.
and DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. 1
don't feel that these are the healthiest of
conditions to live with it much longer.
Sincerely,
F)isgusted Student.

The Editors* Desk:
It has come to our attention that as the
semester continues, the mess in the cafe-
teria grows People let foot lay on the
table and even worse, their whole tray.
It's time to straighten up your act. Every-
one should be old enough and responsible
enough to take up their trays and not
leave food on the table. A lot of people
have to eat in the cafeteria so it is time to
respect others It would be nice to eat in
a clean dining hall for once

Viewpoint
Another problem that has come to my
attention is a problem with collecting
meal numbers at lunch and dinner. If the
cafeteria management wants a standard
set of rules as far as collecting everyone's
numbers, they should take the number
of every single person who enters the
cafe without exception. Many times I've
seen people allowed to pass through
without their cards. Yet some of my
friends were not allowed in without their
cards. Maybe they weren't friertdly
enough for the meal number taker or
maybe it's because they are females and
not males No matter what, a definite
standard should be set with no excep-
tiotis After all. it's only fair to everyone.

New Dairy Instructor
Mr. Jerry Myers
By Bill Rein
We have a new addition to our faculty
this year. He is Mr. Jerry Myers, who has
joined the Dairy Husbandry Department.
You can find him either teaching Dairy
Cattle Judging and Evaluation courses,
or managing operations down at the Dairy
Farm.
Ag majors surely remember from fresh-
man Animal Science that DVC raises
three dairy cattle breeds: Holstein. Brown
Swiss, and Ayrshire. Mr. Myers has han-
dled all three. He hails from Maryland,
where he was born and raised on his
parents' Holstein dairy farm. At the Uni-
versity of Maryland, he earned a Bachelor
of Science degree in Agriculture and Ex-
tension Education. His credentials don't
stop there. A full-fledged dairy man. he
has currently completed his internship

Dear Dreamer?, ^ ^ • / *
If you know that she gets up every
night around 3:17 it must mean she
wakes you up. Just get out of bed and
turn the alarm on behind her. Sleep
walking is a result of some type of stress,
being away at school, or just worrying
about the first group of exams could be
the reason. In time she should learn, to
relax and the walking will stop. In the
meantime you could also try hiding the
clock.

Radaszewski and Russo
Lead Aggies
Over Crusaders
By Duke Blessing
The Delaware Valley College gridders
took a giant step in their hopes of recap-
turing the Middle Atlantic Conference
championship by defeating a talented Sus-
quehanna squad on Parents' Day by the
score of 1.3-10.
Dan Glowatski opened the scoring
when he caught a 20-yard touchdown
pass from Gary Kemberling (6-16-104
yards) in the first quarter.
The Crusaders came back with ten se-
cond quarter points on a Kevin Gorm-
Icy l-yard touchdown run and a Todd
McCarthy 30-yard field goal.
The third quarter was a defensive battle
with lx)th teams looking strong, especially
against the run.
Finally, in the fourth quarter. Joe Ra-
daszewski gave the Aggies the break they
needed when he picked off a Jim Wisse
pass and returned it 44 yards to give the
Aggies a lead they never relinquished.
Nick Russo had a superb game for the
Aggies as he rushed .% times for 157
yards. He also hauled in a Kemberling
pass for 41 yards.
The entire Delaware Valley team was
t'Xtremelu fired up for the length of the
game. When the Aggies defense was on
the fiekl. the players on the sideline
stood up and shouted "defense" clap
■clap, "defense" clap - clap. This is the
tvpe of enthusiasm the Aggies need to
sustain tomorrow (at Moravian) and for
the ivinaindei of the season
Thi' intangible aspect of football is often
underestimated but in this rase the Ag-
gies know th«' meaning of

MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY
By Ken McDaid
DVC raised its overall record to 7-0
(5-0 MAC) last Saturday by dominating
a quadrangular meet involving Moravian.
Widener. and Lebanon Valley College.
The Harriers ran their best team race of
the season as only 1:21 separated run-
ners one through five from DVC. This
strong team effort helped DVC cruise
past Widener 16-46. Lebanon Valley
20-42. and Moravian 23-36. Leading
the way for Del Val were Ken McDaid
and Tom Reynolds who finished 3rd and
4th respectively with times of 27:01 and
27:06. Reynolds had to outduel a runner
from Moravian at the tape to save his 4th
place finish. Next for DVC were Dave
Spotts and Al Krouse who clocked in 6th
and 7th places. The stars of the meet,
however, were sophomores Don Billet
and John Thomson who finished 9th
and lOth overall and drastically closed
the gap between themselves and the DVC
front four. Overall. DVC had six of the
top ten finishing places Next up for the
Harriers are Drexel. Philadelphia Textile.
Philadelphia Pharmacy, and Swarthmore
tomorrow at Swarthmore.

INEPT EAGLES
Succumb to 49er's 21-9
By Duke Blessing
To think that there were actually a
group of people out in football land this
vear who thought the Philadelphia Eagles
stood a chance of playing .500 football in
1984 is as ridiculous as believing that
Mondale and "that woman" stand the
slightest chance to defeat Ronald and
George in November.
This ineffectual collection of brawn
athletes has clustered together to give a
new meaning to the word "stillborn."
The Joe Montana-less 49er's domi-
nated both offensively and defensively.
Matt Cavanaugh threw against an invisi-
ble like Eagles secondary for 252 yards
and three touchdowns. Wendell Tyler
rushed through and around the defensive
line for 113 yards on 21 carries.
Kicker Paul McFadden accounted for
all the Eagles points with three field goals
as the rushing game could only muster
72 yards Ron "Jaws" Jaworski is not to
blame for this one due to the fact that
Eagle receivers dropped nine passes.
Watching the Eagles play last week kind
of reminded me what it must have been
like to be a New York Giants fan for so
long.
There is one common bond between
old Giants fans, present Eagle fans, and
supporters or Walter and his woman
friend — even though we are cheering
for guaranteed losers, we must play out
the string because some day things will
get better!

HOMECOMING
By E.D. Wengryn
Frostbit fingers, numb noses, and glassy
eyes. If you remember these feelings you
must have been up all night making your
homecoming floats and spirit cars. Not to
worry, just one more night and the pa-
rade will be here. For many homecoming
is more than just two nights of work The
Alumni Office works for months on plan-
ning the return of DVC graduates. (Yes.
they are living proof that life goes on after
DVC or NFS,) Besides the floats many
clubs work on fund-raisers for homecom-
ing football game sales. The Floral Society
paints its pumpkins, the Horticulture Club
is pressing cider, and A. P.O. was making
chocolates all week long, in addition to
their creative expressions of toilet paper
on wheels (called a float) .
To alumni, homecoming is more than
a parade through Doylestown and a foot-
ball game. To alumni, homecoming is
just that, coming home. To them, just
like to the students now. DVC was their
home And now they return to see the
old place, the new buildings, and good
friends of days gone by. Homecoming is
for memories, for students, and alumni
and should not be missed by anyone, if
you don't help a club, go to the parade,
meet alumni, and get ready for the home-
coming dance. What is a better way to
end a week of no sleep as we celebrate
the return of those that have gone before
us. For to celebrate is to make memories
and these times will be remembered on
the day when you as a graduate will
return on homecoming.

Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
Something is going on that deserves
some attention: the public abuse and
humiliation of ladies on campus by a
group of DVC "athletes" (I use the term
loosely) . An athlete at this level of com-
petition should be both a scholar and a
gentleman! By scholar I simply mean that
they should be here to leam and make
an attempt to do so. A gentleman re^Dects
the rights and feelings of others. Animals
react on instinct, not people! Thursday
night's incident (September 27) in the
dining hall reminded me of a pack of
dogs reacting to a bitch in heat!
It is bad enough that we must witness
what goes on on campus; but I am em-
barassed to be a pwirt of an athletic depart-
ment that would send these "athletes"
(again, 1 use the term loosely) off campus
to represent our school all over the state
and beyond.
I am not going to point the finger at
anyone (I think we all know who I'm talk-
ing about) , but I would like to say that I
am not speaking of the football team. Al-
though their ideas of fun are often different
from ours, and although they do tend to
get carried away at times, they do not
make a habit of publicly abusing ladies
nor causing scenes in the dining hall. 1
also feel confident that, under the leader-
ship of coach Al Wilson, they act like
gentlemen when they leave our school to
represent us.
I realize that everyone has the right to
be here, but when they have fun at the
exjjense of others, then they are infring-
ing on the rights of others and should be
stopped. I do not think that the integrity
of our athletic department must be sacri
ficed in order to win a few games! How
far will this go? What ever happened to
winning not being the most important
part of the game?
I do not know what can be done about
this, but thought that some attention
should be focused on it. I know that when
my dog misbehaves he gets smacked
with a newspaper. I do not think that
would work in this case.
Sincerely,
An embarassed athlete

Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
As most of us have noticed, this cam-
pus is ridiculous on weekends! I wonder
if the circus is looking for recruits! I know
for a fact that vandalism is no longer a
thing of the past. It seems as if no dorm is
safe from these immature, obnoxious
people who insist on wrecking things. Not
only is vandalism a problem, but either
people have become hard of hearing or
they just love to yell. There's no reason
for the excess noise that has been disturb-
ing my dorm as well as others. Since
when do radios have to be at full blast to
enjoy them? Unless some people start
growing up or enough people tell these
so called adults to shape up, nothing is
going to change. I don't know if everyone
realizes this, but whatever dorm damage
is done, unless the vandal is identified,
the dorm pays for it. Since most of the
damage done is done by guys, I think its
time we girls pulled together to straighten
this mess out. Remember — nothing will
change until we want it to.

EDITORIAL VIEWPOINT
After talking with Mr. Moyer and Mr.
Kline in the cafeteria about the meal ticket
number policy, 1 feel that there is only
one solution. Everyone should carry their
student l.D.'s with them at all times. This
should solve all problems as far as collect-
ing meal ticket numbers. On the back of
our l.D.'s, it states that all students must
carry the ID. cards with us at all times.
Please follow my suggestion and things
can and will run more smoothly in the
cafeteria.

LAUNDRY ROOM
Change Machine Problems
Have They Been Resolved?
By Bill Rein
There have been consistent complaints
about the conditions of the college laun-
dry rooms and the lone change machine.
By now, probably everyone has heard
something like, "What happened to the
Ulman basement laundry?" . . . "There
are never enough working dfyers." . . .
"The only time everybody has room in
their schedules to do laundry is the only
time that I can do laundry!" These words
are usually followed by ". . . and when
you need change for wash, you go all
the way to the Student Center, and the
change machine is broken."
In our usual investigative style. Ram
Pages decided to look into the situation,
and find what was on the other side of
the coin.
In an interview with Student Services
Dean Lionel Adelson, I thought we'd get
the facts. This apparently had been the
first time the situation had been presented
to him. Mr. Adelson was immediately on
the phone.
First, the dean put a call into Mainte-
nance. We learned that the Ulman base-
ment lights were apparently pulled down
from the ceiling by some students; but
they now were in full operation. Could
this have caused some on campus to think
DVC consisted of only one laundry
room — of only six washers and six dryers
— under Segal Hall? Maybe. Anyway.
it's now safe to go down and do your
wash in the wee hours of the morning,
and beat the rush!
But is it? Maintenance had said that Ul-
man was in full operation. Surely they
did not mean that all washers and dryers
were in order. Trying to keep well in-
formed of this situation was indeed diffi-
cult. In reading the Student Government
Minutes of that same Monday, one would
find different news. Under the heading
"Old Business," next to a frowning face,
was the note: "The laundry room in Ul-
man Hall is still a disgrace . . . and I am
Informed that three dryers were broken
. . ." Yes, as of Monday, a week later,
there were still at least two dryers with
"Out of Order" signs on them. It seems
that no one knows the problem exists;
please report this type of problem to Resi-
dences Life! Maybe some action will be
taken.
Ignoring the fact that there are bound
to be broken machines, the need for even
more laundry machines was addressed.
Dean Adelson explained that, "When
the Student Center was built last year.
The Alumni Office &
The Alumni Association
By Jamie Beck
The Alumni Office sponsors Homec-
coming and a lot more . They coordinate
and publish Green and Gold Horizons
sent to all the Alumni. They sponsor
scholarships to freshmen . This year they
sponsored two such scholarships, each
for fifteen hundred dollars. The Alumni
attend "College Night" to represent the
college.
The Alumni Association donates mon-
ey, shrubery, rooms of buildings, etc.
They also give presents to graduating
seniors. This year they gave the seniors a
wallet-size copy of their diploma.
The office has six thousand known ad-
dresses for alumni of the college. The
alumni are from 49 out of 50 states and
20 foreign countries. The Association
has 40 members and five student repre-
sentatives. They do activities together.
Each year, they contribute $150,000 to
200,0(X) both individually and as a group.
Mr. Trainer and Dr. Feldstein travel to
viat alumni in various F>arts of the country.
They have visited Chicago, Dallas, and
Los Angeles, where they have DVC alum-
nus clubs. These clubs procure money
for the college. This November, Dr. Feld-
stein will be going to Florida to visit alum-
ni living there .
more room was provided by Segal Hall.
We decided that this provided an oppor-
tunity for another laundry room whteh
would double our capacity." And you
thought 12 washers and 12 dryers (when
working) was not enough for our school?
What about the ongoing change ma-
chine hassles? Dean Adelson called Mr.
Decker, whose responsibilities in the Stu-
dent Center include all vending machines
contained within its walls.
We learned that, once again, the
change machine "broke down" — yet,
this time it was over the weekend, and it
had just been "debugged" Friday! Why
does it keep breaking down? This change
machine has a modern fail-safe mechan-
ism, which automatically shuts it down —
when someone tries to get something for
nothing. It is therefore never really
"broken," just keeping us from being
"ripped off."
Another look at the old Student Gov-
ernment Minutes yielded a wealth of in-
formation pertaining to how long this has
been going on. In the September 17 Min-
utes, under the "Good of the Order"
heading, it is stated that: "It seems that
the change machine in the Student Center
is broken down too often ..." Dean Adel-
son explained that, "the change machine
belongs to the company providing most, .
if not all, vending machines on campus
— Blue Ribbon . If anyone tries to use a
bogus bill, it electronically shuts down." It
was starting to concern the school that
"Blue Ribbon may have to pull it because
they keep coming out to repair it." At this
time. Blue Ribbon had not yet complained
about it, he said.
In fact. Blue Ribbon provided us with
a change machine as a sort of "favor,"
because we needed one last year to re-
place the much-abused "antique" owned
by the Student Government, noted Mr,
Adelson. Old habits never really die; the
old one was quickly rolled away after it
accepted a xerox of a dollar bill! "
"We'd like to get another change ma- :
chine," concluded the dean; but the ques-
tion remained: would a more convenient
yet unsupervised machine be "challenged"
by one student to the detriment of the
entire campus?
Well, the answer to that question may
have come from the latest Student Gov-
ernment meeting. Under the heading
"New Business" the minutes explain that,
"We have a NEW change machine on
the way. Student Government will own
and operate it. Its location will be in the :
security office. Anyone caught tamper-
ing with this machine will suffer the conse-
quences. We will be watching it very close-
ly. Let's not abuse this "convenience!"
Mr. Trainer says, "The main purpose
of the Alumni Association and the Alum-
ni Office is to promote friendship and
goodwill among the alumni but more im-
portantly provide support for the Alma
Mater." He also wants the office to be a
fundraising as well as a friendraising place.
The Student's Psalm
The professor is my quizmaster.
1 shall not flunk.
He maketh me to enter the
examination room.
He leadeth me to an alternate seat.
He restoreth my fears.
He leadeth me into a deep problem
for the grade's sake.
Yea, though I know not the answers
to the question.
The class average comforts me.
I prepare my answers before me
in the presence of my proctors.
He anointeth my head with figures.
My time runneth out.
Surely grades and bluebooks will folbw me
all the days of my life.
And I will dwell in this university forever.

A LEGEND LIVES ON
By Bob Wecht
At the tender age of fourteen Ernest
Pumcll came to work as a janitor at Dela-
ware Valley College (then known as the
National Farni School) in 1910. Although
his family home is in Baltimore, he and
another man left to find work. Del Val
hasn't been the same since.
Emcst was bom May 10, 1895. He was
the sixth of six children and reared in a
Methodist environment. The love of na-
ture has always been with him and even
after eighty-nine years he still breeds tropi-
cal fish and parakeets.
Mr, Purncll's earliest experiences here
on campus included not only janitorial
responsibilities but chauffer duties for Del
Val's founder. Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf .
"Dr. Rabbi" as he is remembered, always
brings fond memories to this local college
legend.
"I always made sure Segal Hall was
nice and warm for him (Rabbi Krauskopf)
. . . years ago coal was used instead of oil,
so I set my alarm and was there every
morning."
While vwrking at Del Val Eme^ was
rudely inten'upted by WorW War I. He
served as a Private 1st class in Gjmpany
D, 333rd Service Battalion, Q.M.C. train-
ing and fighting both occurred overseas.
"Hell ail the way through, but any sacrifice
for America was worth it." His discharge
papers hang proudly in his room.
At one point, Ernest was moonlighting
in a restaurant near the college to help
pay for car expenses. One night. Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt came to dinner
and Purnell was chosen to wait on him.
Roosevelt was so taken by Ernest that he
wanted to bring him back to Washington
to work in the White House. Luckily for
the college the President's offer was
declined.
When asked how the studente and fac-
ulty of today are different from those in
the school's beginnings, it was made quite
clear that attitudes have changed. "In the
Farm School people were like brothers,
but today many think they are higher up
and better people — not equals."
"The great man who put us on this
earth didn't want people to be different
from each other — just equal . . . there is
bad in all races, what religion doesn't
matter — we were given brains to be the
best we can and to be smart enough to
love our neighbors." Why can't people
see the truth?
If you don't know where to find Mr.
Pumell, all you need to do is check out
the second floor of the Alumni House. Er-
nest will be the man with a cigar in his
mouth. Next time you have the opportu-
nity, stop and have a chat . . . you won't
be sorry you did!

The Great? Debate
By E.D. Wengryn
On Sunday night President Ronald
Reagan and candidate Walter Mondale
went head to head in the first of their two
televised debates. Both candidates started
off nervously, but it was Mr. Mondale
who got over it first. To many, Mondale's
performance was a surprise, as President
Reagan did not shape up until about half
way through the debate. He was nervous,
stuttering, and ill at ease up to that point.
Mr. Mondale took advantage of the Pres-
ident's manner as he operated smoothly
and easily, using the time to make his
points, while the President worked on try-
ing to Improve his style.
The candkiates were asked a series of
domestic questions on proposed budgets
and deficit reduction; it was here where
the Presidetit looked strong as he prom-
ised that he will "never" seek to cut Social
Security benefits (though he did in 1981
want a 25% cut that the Congress refused
to pass, as Mr. Mondale later pointed
out, showing himself as the stronger can-
didate.) The other good point of President
Reagan was Mondale's proposed tax in-
creases. Mondale was again showing him-
self as the stronger candidate by saying it
was a plan, and one that would work to
reduce the deficits, that Mr. Reagan
believes will disappear like magic. Mon-
dale was ageiin stronger than the President
when it came to the closing statements.
Are we better off now than we were four
years ago? Mr. Mondale took that ques-
tion further by asking about our future:
Will we be better off in the upcoming
years, and what future will it leave for
our children? To many is was clear that
Walter Mondale won the debate. Whether
it helps his campaign only time will tell,
along with the Bush - Ferraro debate on
Thursday.
West Virginia, Boston, and Washington
DC, as well as kx:al florets from Reading,
Pa. and Somerset, N.J. The creations
designed were truly amazing, some stand-
ing three feet tall. Others were as small as
a shoe. The designers create arrange-
ments for two hour stretches, take half
hour breaks, and then return again. The
themes for most of the work dealt with
Christmas, as the Trade Fair deals with
selling Christmas items, such as con-
tainers, dishes, props, candles, and
other supplies. Other events include door
decorations; this year a DVC team of
students won first place for their door
design, and that was done competing
against professional floral designers.
Once again, congratulations to all, and
thanks to the designers for some A-Day
ideas.

Dear Aggie,
Dear Aggie,
What do you do when people who
you don't do anything wrong to stick
their noses up at you? And what do you
do when they act disgusted at you when
you are in their presence? Should I let
this behavior bother me?
I know that you can't be friends to
everyone and have them all like you
back, but it hurts when people treat me
this way. Do you think I'm just being self-
conscious about this? Aggie, tell me what
1 can do.

Hurt by Ignorance
Dear Hurt by Ignorance, , . . .
If someone misunderstands you or
your personality due to a physical prob-
lem, then you are hurt by ignorance. In
your letter I received no information
along this line so I will assume that you
have no such problem. What is hurting
your feelings is the lack of adultness in
these other jDeople. Some people do not
feel comfortable with others unless they
find a fault in the other (i.e. he has a big
nose), once people find a fault they can
usually get along fine. But when some-
pne has no visible fault, people react by
being or playing "I am better than you,"
thus the snobby attitudes. Their per-
sonality feel threatened because of their
own insecurities. If these so called friends
persist in treating you so, look for new
ones, their opinion is not the final
judgment.

"Dr. Elson"
An Interview with History
By Jean Meyer
The other day, I was very fortunate to
have a talk with Dr. Elson. For the stu-
dents who do not know Dr. Elson, you
are missing a great deal!

Dear Aggie,
After being hurt several times by mem-
bers of the opposite sex, I am very hesi-
tant not only in asking girls out, but just
general conversation feels somewhat un-
comfortable. My problem is that I met a
girl in the beginning of the year that I
could really fall for but because of my
feelings towards girls now, I've only talked
to her once. I'd like to ask her out but am
afraid of being hurt. What do I do?
Bashful
Dear Bashful,
Life is a game and full of risks. And it is
better to have loved and lost than to
never have loved at all. All of this may
sound corny but it is true. You have taken
your inner pain and started to use it as an
excuse for not seeing or asking girls out.
My suggestion to you is A) ask her out
yourself, tell her you like her, and go
from there or B) talk to some of her
friends and get together with her through
channels. In most cases, plan A works
best. And remember no is only a two let-
ter word.
Aggie §>
Dr. Elson is a part-time faculty member
who works in the chemistry department.
He helps tutor the freshmen in chemis-
try. He has been teaching at the college
since 1946.
Dr. Elson is very much a part of the
college. He attended the old school (Na-
tional Farm School) . After attending the
old school, he went to Rutgers University
to major in science. After graduating, he
worked for the U.S. Department of Agri-
culture until 1943. He then entered the
Navy to become a full lieutenant. When
the war was over, Dr. Elson came back
to the college to teach. He came back to
help the old school transfer over to what
we know as Del Val.
Dr. Elson has seen many changes in his
lifetime. When asked what was the biggest
difference between the old school and
the college his response was; "Students
now are not required to do physical
work." In the days of the old school, one
half of the students would work on the
farm full time and the other half would
go to school. Then after six weeks, the
students would switch jobs. All of the stu-
dents were required to work in each area
of the farm. They only had one month
off from class. The students would work
during the summer months on the farm.
Graduation was in late March, so the stu-
dents could be hired in time for the spring
plantings.
Dr. Elson has seen many changes in
agriculture. When he was in school, they
used hand labor methods. Today, agri-
culture has become modern and more
technical. There is now more for the stu-
dents to leam.
Dr. Elson has years of experience and
he is very happy to share them with the
students. He will continue to teach the
students. Dr. Elson is a big part of Del
Val's future and history. As he says, "An
interview with me, is an interview with
h'*^ory." Dr. Elson will always be a legend
in his own time!
CARRY- CATCHERS
On Wednesday, October 3, students
had the opportunity to be caricatured in
the Student Center Lobby. There was a
choice of cither a Joe Aronson basic black
and white fek tip on transparency, or your
profile could be sketched and then water-
colored with a miniature body attached!
For one dollar you could cither wait in
a line for the color sketch, or settle for a
bare bones black and white profile. Most
who offered their best sides to the artists
seemed to prefer the former, which was
of course much more detailed for the
money. Some who attended mentioned
^hat last year's artists seemed to offer a litr
tie more. Overall, everyone was none-
theless pleased.

Victor, Victoria
A REVIEW
The highly entertaining movie, i/ktor,
Victoria played for free in the All-Purpose
Room last Thursday night. From the looks
of the small crowd who showed up, either
people are finding the seating too uncom-
fortable to sit through another movie, or
they've already seen it, or they don't know
a bargain!
A Blake Edwards movie, Victor, Vic-
toria had its terrific moments of comedy.
That doesn't teO the whole story, however.
The film had a good story, good acting,
and real life feeling.
The story begins in 1934; Paris. Victoria
Grant (Julie Andrews) is a British singer
with an opera-quality voice that shatters
champagne glasses Ella Fitzgerald-style.
She is actually starving; she meets Car-
roll Todd (Robert Preston) , a gay enter-
tainer recently thrown out of a nightclub
for causing a riot. "Toddy" gets here to
try a different approach after Victoria,
wearing some dry men's clothing, punches
out his ex-boyfriend. Her entertainment
career takes off as he plays a man, Victor
(a.k.a. Count Gradzin^y of Poland) play-
ing a woman!
Difficulties arise when she meets King
Marshall (James Gamer) who finds her
(him) too good to be true. Both Victoria
and Marshall fall in love, but Marshall
doesn't like people thinking he's gay for
loving a man; and Victoria begins to ex-
perience trouble covering up her feelings
as a woman — losing her identity in a
"crazy world."
The serious backdrop is covered with
much lighter feeling than this suggests.
Alex Karras plays King Marshall's body-
guard who blunders through the movie
getting less respect than "King" himself.
King's dipsy blonde ex -girlfriend also gets
no respect — and doesn't forget it when
he actually puts soap in her mouth and
ships her back to America! Also, if you've
ever seen a Pink Panther movie you can-
not help but catch a Jacques Clouseau-
type private investigator hired to find out
if Victor is really a woman.
The best, most entertaining scene,
however, is probably at the end of the
movie. Toddy (Robert Preston) substi-
tutes for Victor as Victoria — playing a
woman with the grace and womanly
beauty of a rhinocerous!

Dateline September 27, 198*
Location The Ravei
On the right hand side
as \^ou enter New Hope
To celebrate the birthday of Ram Page'.
illustrious co-editor, Leslie Blatt, this re
porter decided to treat her to real food
Upon our arrival and being seated at ou
table, a night of fun and food began.
The staff of the Raven take their worl
very seriously. Besides food, atmosphere
is of the utmost consideration. Though
looking like a motel on the outside, a<
you enter you are pushed through time
to a late 18th century plush sitting room
— done in dark woods and red materials.
The dining room, small, (reservations
are suggested) yet elegant, looks out over
a brick terrace and garden. The menu
(handwritten on a clipboard) is placed by
the table while your drinks are being
made. Leslie started with spinach salad
and moved to Australian Pork with apri-
cots and ended with cheesecake (with
hazelnut crust) and cranberry topping. I
started with tomato dill soup and moved
on to Veal Chop with Sweetbreads Dijon
and ended with brandied strawberries
with chocolate and vanilla cream. Both
meals were served with glazed carrots,
buttered zuccini, boiled red potatoes,
and fresh-baked bread. As the food was
served and the sun set, the lamps on the
tables were lighted and the house lights
dimmed while outside the garden lights
created a definitely romantic atmc»phere!
The price of dinner was under $50.00
with tip; the place is highly recommend-
ed, just avoid the bar and don't laugh at
too many of the other customers. And, if
I remember corr«:tly, didn't you people
have ice aeam sundaes that night? (a
mild revenge).
APO SCAVENGER HUNT
On Friday, October 26. Alpha Phi

ioned scavenger hunt beginning at 8:00

will be charged for clubs (teams of four
people) arid $1.00 entrance fee for indi-
viduals. The monies will then be split

Aggie Wrestlers
Streak to the Top
By Dan Smoker
With 38 straight dual meet victories,
setting a Division III record, the Aggies*
wrestling team outlook is bright for the
84-85 season. DVC took second place
last year with a record of si 2-0, missing
first place in the overall points total by V2
point to Lycoming College.
Coach Bob Marshall, who has been with
DVC for 10 years, has an impressive
128-24 record. "We didn't win the MAC
last year because we didn't have wrestlers
at the right weight." said Marshall. "This
year we're pretty inexperienced, and I
can see the possibility of six freshmen in
the lineup."
Members by Weight
118: Freshman, Tim Zacngle looks to
have the starting spot. Fighting
Zaengle for his position are Tim
Fitzgerald and Dave Gibson.
126: Dan Canale, a returning Ail-Ameri-
can and MAC champion.
134: Steve Canale. who together with
his twin brother Dan combined their
records last year for an impressive
31-1 total.
142: Senior. Kevin Stout who has plenty
of competition at his weight from
Dan Porter. Brad Wise, and fresh-
man Loren Richter. This will be
Stout's first varsity starting season.
150: Senior Brad Hershey. also with his
first varsity starting season, has
pressure from junior Bob Ekhelm
and freshman Tracy Snyder.
158: Freshman Tom Long and junior
and Drew Brophy are battling it out. but
167: it looks like Long will wrestle at 158
and Brophy at 167. Other compe-
tition at 158 could be senior Fred
Jones or T. Snyder.
177: Sophomore Bob Branch looks to
be in command of this slot.
190: Junior Dan DePretis has to look for
plenty of competition from fresh-
man Vince Bedesem.
HWT: Sophomores Shawn McGrath
and Chuck Hieber look to be doing the
heavyweight honors this year again . Mc-
Grath and Hieber shared the spot last
year, but they have some competition
coming their way from freshmen Len
Resato and Steve Redichek. who finished
fifth in the State High School Champion-
ships last year.
"Some major factors could be the loss
of Tony Tarsi (134), Troy Marshall (142).
Mark Sand (150), and Bruce Stajnrajh
(158),' commented Marshall. "Lycom-
ing has a lot of wrestlers back and they
look strong. Gettysburg, Ursinus, and
Moravian also look pretty good this year,
but I'm looking forward to strong perfor-
mances from the Canale brothers. Stout,
and Hershey."

. -Padres Complete
Three Game Comeback
Against Cubs
By Duke Blessing
After losing the first two games in Chi-
cago and being outscored 17-2 in the
process, the San Diego Padres became
the first National League team to over*
come a 2-0 deficit in the championship
series by storming back to win three straight
at their Jack Murphy Stadium home.
In game five. Leon Durham hit a two-;
run homer and Jody Davis added a solo
shot to give the Cubs a 3-0 lead, a margin
that would last until the sixth.^;./^
Probable National League Cy Young
Winner Rick Sutcliffe looked dominating
until the sixth inning when, egged on by
the awesome ear-piercing power of the
home crowd , the Padres scored two runs
in the inning and then erupted for four
more in the seventh to snatch a 6-3 vic-
tory and win their first National League
pennant.
Steve Garvey was named M.V.P. for
the Championship Series as he batted
.400 (8-20) including four hits and a
game winning homer in game four. Tony
Gwynn and Alan Wiggins proved to be a
potent one-two punch as they combined
for 13 hits and scored 10 runs during the
series.
To defeat the Tigers, the Padres will
need superb performances from Garvey,
Gwynn. Wiggins, and Terry Kennedy.
If you are a Padres fan — don't bet the
series!
ROYALS
NO CHALLENGE
AS TIGERS SWEEP
By Duke Blessing
Paced by a pitching staff that allowed
only four earned runs in the three games
against the Royals and some timely hitting,
the Detriot Tigers swept the Kansas City
Royals, winning the series clinching game
1-0 on the strength of Milt Wilcox's two-
hit shutout.
What can be written that has not al-
ready been written about this team from
the Motor City? They are one of the most
overall balanced teams in baseball history.
The Tigers can beat you in any and
every facet of the game.
M.V.P. Kirk Gibson hit .417 for the
series and played solid in right field.
Johnny Grubb provided the most excite-
ment in the series when he hit a two-run,
pinch-hit double off the Royals' Dan Qui-
senberry to win game two.
The Tigers are in a class by themselves
and should defeat the Padres in five or
six games — bet the house!
The Newman Club
It has come to my attention that many
students at Del Val do not know what
the Newman Club is. I heard from one
freshman, asking If the Newman Club
was for all the new students on campus.
This Is not what the Newman Club is, so
I decided to talk to Rev. Joseph Cistone,
more commonly known £is the Spiritual
Advisor to the Newman Club.
The Newman Club is named after Car-
dinal Newman from Oxford, England.
Cardinal Newman was a convert to the
Roman Catholic Church and is known as
the patron of students.
The Newman Club is an attempt on
the church's part to meet the needs of
the Roman Catholic students living on
the campus. Many students fall away from
the church during the college years. This
time for all students is difficult because
the decisions that are made will affect
their future and should be aided by the
church. The Newman Club is trying to
give the students an identity as a group.
It is more than just Mass on Sundays; it Is
a service to the students — service like
answering questions dealing with their
faith.
At Del Val, there is no place to locate
a Newman Center. We hold monthly
meetings, but it is still difficult to contact
the students. The club is hoping that the
Catholic students will make the effort to
make the contact easier.
The newly-formed club is trying to get
its feet off the ground. To do this, we
need the students to come together and
tell us what thi'ii needs are. For example,
last year Father Joe held a talk on the
Dogma of the Catholic Church. It was
well attended and any questions on the
topic were answered . Most activities and
services are held at St. Judes.
The activities can now be held at St.
Jude's new beautiful church. The Mass
schedule is as follows:
Saturday - 8:00 A.M., 5:00 P.M.
Sunday - 8:00 A.M., 10:00 A.M.,
12:00 Noon
Weekdays - 6:45 A.M.. 7:00 P.M.
Confessions are held: '
Saturday - 1:30 P.M. to 2:30 P.M.
- 7:30 P.M. to 8:30 P.M.
The first activity for the semester will
be on October 15th, at 8:00 to 9:00 P.M.
in the Coffeehouse Room. Father Joe
will talk on "Relationships." All are
welcome to attend. Please come out and
support the Newman Club.

MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY
Scranton University visited DVC on
Saturday, October 6, and escaped with a
25-31 cross country victory over the Ag-
gies. The team ran a good race but the
1-2 finish of Scranton's Bill Burke and
Bob Kilcullen was too much to overcome.
Senior Tom Reynolds made his last home
meet a great one as he was DVC's first
runner with a personal best time of 29:01.
The next Aggie Harrier was Ken McDaid
who finished in fourth place with a time
of 29:09. The next two places were va-
cated by Royals, but DVC then took the
following four places. Three of these next
Aggies broke the exclusive 30-minute
barrier on the course and joined the
'Sub-30 Club.' These runners were Al
Krouse in 29:33, John Thomson in
29:43, and Dave Spotts in 29:48. Just
missing on his bid for the Sub-30 Club
was sophomore Don Billet who crossed
the finish line in 30:05 in 10th place. The
Del Val pack is even more closely knit
now as only :47 separated runners one
through five. The Aggies take their 7-3
TCcord on the road tomorrow as they will
participate in the Allentown Invitational.
WOMEN'S
CROSSCOUNTRY
By Linda Bailey
On Saturday, October 6, the women's
cross country team held their first home
meet of the season against Scranton and
Lockhaven with scores of 15 points,
Scranton to 40 points, DVC and 20
points, Lockhaven to 35 points, DVC.
Scranton swept places first, second, and
third as Theresa Meade, Julie Haggerty,
and Mary Leady crossed the finish line
with times of 17:27, 18:12. and 18:19
respectively. Monica Etwiller, DVC's first
runner to cross the finish, placed eighth
with a time of 19:33. Kim Hack finished
with the time of 19:59 putting her in 10th
place. Places 14, 15, and 16 went to
Wendy Fields, Tana Hawes, and Donna
hoover with times of 20:58, 21:41, and

18th with the time of 25:42. The girls next

AGGIES'
Offensive Unit Also Excells
in the Clossroom
By Joe Ferry
With an average grade-point average
of 3.38, the Delaware Valley College of-
fensive unit goes a long way in dispelling
the myth that athletes, particularly foot-
ball players, are less-than-dedicated
students. . :
"I think tfiat the academic achtevements
of these students deserve recognition,"
said Aggies' coach Al Wilson . "They work
extremely hard on the field but they also
apply their concentration to their studies.
It's not easy coming off the practice field
and sitting down for a couple of hours of
studying. But they obviously have the de-
termination to do it night after night."
Of the 11 starters, four are Biology
majors, four are Business Administration
majors, one is a Food Industry major,
one is an Agronomy major, and one is a
Horticulture major.
"They personify what Division 111 ath-
letics is all about," said Wilson. They arc
student-athletes in the truest sense of the
word. They have their priorities in order."
While the Aggies are doing well in the
classroom, their performance on the field
hasn't been too shabby either. In two
games, the Aggies are 1-1 and are averag-
ing 327.5 yards per game in total offense.
Several players have plans to further
their education after college. Kemberling
and Avallone have already taken their
Medical School Admissions Test while
Rada has set his sights on attending Den-
tal School.
Glowatski is contemplating several op-
tions regarding his future. He is a strong
candidate for an NCAA Post-Graduate
Scholarship to pursue his Masters Degree
in Business Administration. But Glowat-
ski, who was the first Delaware Valley
College student to be nominated for the
prestigious Hani; S. Truman Scholarship,
may first pursue a career in professional
football. The holder of almost every one
of the College's receiving records, Glowat-
ski has already been looked at by pro
scouts.
Stahl was elected to the second-team
CoSIDA Academic All-America team
last year. He is a strong possibility again
this year, along with several other worthy
candidates from the DVC football team.
"I can't say enough good things about
them," said Wilson. "One thing we look
for when we recruit a player is whether
or not four years down the road he can
earn his degree and make something of
his life. They have done exactly that and
even a little bit more. They should be
commended for their accomplishments."
To say that last Saturday's game in East
Orange, New Jersey was a "must- win"
situation may be stretching it a bit, but
one can say that a loss would have been
detrimental to the Aggies' hope for a
Middle Atiantic Conference championship.
Coming Into the game, Upsala College
had a 2-0 MAC mark and the Aggies
were in a four- way tie for the second spot.
After the game, every team in the league
had at least one loss.
Thanks to the efforts of a stingy Aggie
defense and an offense which netted 429
total yards, Del Val cruised to a 27-7 vic-
tory and set the stage for tomorrow's
showdown with Widener University.
Jim Hannon and Bob Charette com-
bined to squash runner after runner as
Upsala could only muster 198 total yards.
In Bruce Sweda's absence, Greg Currie
and Craig Bmeman played fine games
as did the entire defensive unit.
On the offensive side, Nick Russo fin-
ished a 74-yard drive with a touchdown
from the one to put the Aggies ahead 7-0.
Upsala came right back to tie the score
at 7-7 with Jim Sullivan scoring from the
seven.
After gaining 64 yards in less than one
half of play, Nick Russo had to be helped
off the field (it was later found out to be
stretched ligament) where he did not re-
turn to play.
The Aggies went into halftime tied 7-7
and faced the situation of playing the sec-
ond half without Russo.
Russo's replacement was Jim Wilson
and it took only seconds before his im-
pact was felt. On the second play of the
half, Wilson took the ball and raced down
the left side of the field for a 53-yard
touchdown, giving the Aggies a 14-7 lead.
Wilson, who finished the day with 82
yards on 10 carries scored the third Aggie
touchdown of the day on a 1-yard plunge.
Rounding out the scoring was Central
Bucks East graduate, Paul Dennis who
hauled in a 24-yard touchdown pass from
Gary Kemberling (15-27-233 yards).
The Aggies (3-2, 3-1 MAC) look to be
in good shape for the second half of the
season. Although there is a logjam at the
top of the standings, three of the team's
remaining four conference games will be
at home, including tomorrow's Home-
coming Day game against Widener and
the November 3 game versus Lycoming
College.
Tomorrow's game with Widener is a
crucial one in the standings so everybody
come out and give the team all your sup-
port. Game time is 1:30 p.m.
GOOD LUCK AGGIES!

Master of Perfection
By Dan Smoker
The 1984 Major League Baseball sea-
son came to a close on a perfect note.
That perfect note was played by the
California Angel's Mike Witt. The Angel
hurler threw the 13th {perfect game of nine
innings or better in major league history
as he put down 27 Texas Rangers in a
row.
Witt's perfect game was the third no-
hitter of 1984 and the second perfect
game, Detroit's Jack Morris no-hit the
Chicago White Sox and eight days later
Montreal's Dave Palmer retired all 15
batters he faced in a rain -shortened win
over St. Louis.
Witt struck out 10 and was touched for
only one well hit ball that was caught at
the right field fence. Having the honors
of catching Witt's perfect game was former

Homecoming 1984
Happy Hi-Jinks at Homecoming Holiday
We Have a Parade!
By Jamie Beck
The Delaware Valley College Home-
coming Day Parade started the jam-
packed day off with a BANG! An event
'^of real fun! Student Government sup-
plied the crowd with coffee and dough-
nuts and joined the sprawling mass of
onlookers in cheering on the bands,
floats, and noted dignitaries and celebri-
ties. Grand Marshal was Chuck Fusina of
Jhe U.S.F.L.. Philadelphia Stars.
Homecoming Queen, Jennifer Corri-
gan. and those nominated for Queen
added beauty to the cavalcade as they
passed in their open cars.
The Floral Society, who were dressed
up like F.T.D. messengers, passed out
carnations to the crowd — a real pleaser.
The Investment Club came in from outer
space dressed up like Martians and tossed
Hershey kisses to the many hands out-
reached to them. Lots and lots of great
floats, far too numerous to mention, but
a genuine tribute to the spirit that is
Delaware Valley College. The winner for
the spirit car was the Floral Society. The
winners for the floats were 4th place,
FFA; 3rd place. Biology Club; 2nd place,
Dairy Society; and 1st place went to
Block and Bridle.
The parade included a lot of fine music
headed by the Del Val College Band . . .
a fine group of musicians. Next came the
great New Hope-Solebury High School*
Band with ffags. twirlers, etc.. and tal-
ented musicians. Then the Patriots of
Central Bucks East strutted their stuff,
and they have good stuff! The Unami
Junior High Band closed up the parade
in grand style. For kids of all ages they
had fire trucks and ambulances. It was a
wonderful morning out in the bracing air
feeling good about everything.
It was a most impressive affair when
you think about all time and effort and
caring that went into the preparation and
the parade itself. It made me feel good
and feel proud to be an Aggie!

Fall Gardening Lecture I
Native Azaleas
By Bill Rein
In the first of three fall gardening lec-
tures sponsored by the O.H. Department
and the Doylestown Nature Club. Mr.
Bruce Keyser talked about the azaleas
native to our country. As with all these
lectures, it was enlightened with slides,
and enhanced by refreshments.
The speaker is a graduate of DVC.
Early in the talk, however, Mr. Keyser
emphasized that he wasn't always study-
ing plants. In fact, he started as a fresh-
man at Lebanon Valley College, playing
football, with his motivating interest in a
future with the pros. He got a "D" in
Botany; and though he worked the sum-
mer before at the Morris Arboretum, he
just "did not like plants'" Nonetheless, he
was midway through his freshman sum-
mer, again working at Morris, when he
took an interest in propagating azaleas in
their greenhouses. From this sudden in-
terest he switched to DVC. and went on
to teach Horticulture at a Tech. school in
Montgomery County. Then he moved
down to Waynesboro to run a landscape
business. Bruce and his partner "didn't
hit it off," so he came back to Bucks
County for seven years. It was not until a
few years ago that he began to concen-
trate on his ongoing interest in the rho-
dodendrons, especially the propagation
of azaleas, at his new nursery in upper
Montgomery County.
As if this history wasn't interesting
enough for a college student pondering a
career in agriculture. Mr. Keyser then in-
troduced his audience to "the full beauty
of native azaleas." Most of the azaleas we
know are little tender evergreen azaleas,
or the tall, leggy, short-lived English Ex-
bury Azaleas which are noted for few but
large and beautiful flowers. Bruce Keyser
found something so much better in our
own backyard! Native azaleas are "fully
clothed" with leaves right to the ground
— different species can bloom through
the summer into the fall (instead of just
April and May) — and since these na-

A ROUSING HOMECOMING PEP RALLY!!!
by Jamie Beck
Everyone got rip-roarin' rowdy at Fri-
day night's Pep Rally held in the Feldstein
Campus Court. We were entertained by
the band and the cheedeaders and then,
to cap it off. we heard inspirational words
from members of the Football, Field
Hockey, Soccer, Cross Country, and
Equestrian teams. Unfortunately for us,
the Volleyball team was playing an away
game; we missed them and they missed
our salute.
And, of course, Bruno gave his an-
nual pep talk for the Football team.
"Way to go Bruno!!!"
As for the dorm decoration contest.
Berk was third, Cooke won second, and

tives are basically 16 species found on
the East Coast, they can easily survive
our toughest winters.
However, with sixteen different spe-
cies, there are as many individual char-
acteristics which would be outstanding if
they somehow were together in one plant!
Indeed, with his slides. Bruce showed
natives that were yellow, natives that
were white, some tliat even smelled good,
and some that bloomed like fire in the
valleys of Virginia. He enthusiastically
suggested: take a species with many
flowers, cross it with a large -flowered
species, and then maybe with a fragrant
one. and "maybe three generations down
the line we'll get an American Azalea
with no mildew problems, clothed to the
ground, with lots of large flowers!" This
breakthrough would be both a personal
triumph, and perhaps an economic suc-
cess, and would benefit nearly all who
plant azaleas.
You can see some of Bruce Keyser's
work at Wynterset Nurseries in Perkio-
menville, PA. Ask Mr. Benner or Mr.
Ray (the O.H. Dept.) for details.
Barncss came in first. Congratulations!
A heated contest for Homecoming
Queen came to a conclusion at the rally.
Arlene Stein of Block and Bridle came in
second runner up. Polly Edc from the
Agronomy Club was first runner up, and
this year's Homecoming Queen is the
Dairy Society's own Jennifer Corrigan.
Our sincerest congratulations to all the
participants and special cudos to Jennifer.
And for a DVC first, the Lacrosse
Team's own Chris Kelly was named Mr.
Congeniality.
It was a great Pep Rally and attended
by many alumni as well as by students
and faculty. "Go Aggies!!"

ON THE SPORTS FRONT
Field Hockey Team
Splits
by Dan Smoker
DVC saw the women's field hockey
record even out at 4-4-1 last week as
they recorded a win and a loss. They col-
lected their win by defeating FDU 1-0.
but they also lost to Drew 3-0, at their
Homecoming game.
Debbie Brown scored 20 minutes into
the first period with an assist from Lisa
Long to defeat FDU. Lyn Schumack had
an outstanding performance in goal,
turning away seven point-blank scoring
opportunities. "Lyn had the best game of
her career. I couldn't see how she came
up with some of her saves," said coach
Peggy Vellner.
The Homecoming game against Drew
was a different story as Drew handed
DVC a 3-0 loss. Drew scored early in the
first period and scored two more quick
goals to put the game out of reach before
DVC knew what had happened. Drew
fired 30 shots on goal while DVC took
only 11 shots. Lyn Schumack had a
tough first peirod but she settled down,
making some outstanding saves in the
second half.
Other outstanding performances were
turned in by right link Jackie Heflich, full-
back Tina Drey, and center Carol Serik.
The field hockey season comes to a close
tomorrow as DVC takes on Lycoming
(away) for their final game.

AGGIES BOMBED BY
WIDENER, 36-3
by Duke Blessing
The Aggies squandered numerous op-
portunities on offense and watched Dan
Guy, quarterback for Widener, scramble
for what seemed like minutes as he
picked apart the Aggie defense in leading
Widener University to a 36-3 victory
over DVC on Homecoming Day.
Although the Aggies were in the game
going into the fourth quarter (they trailed
only 15-3) . things blew wide open in the
final period as Widener scored three
touchdowns. , ^
Guy completed 20 of 24 passes for
223 yards and three touchdowns. "The
difference in offense was the job Guy did
getting loose," Aggie coach Al Wilson
said after the game. "That is the type of
offense Widener has. That's what it's all
about."
What Widener is all about may have
cost the Aggies a conference champion-
ship this year.
Freshman Jim Wilson had an outstand-
ing game as he rushed for 97 yards on
19 carries.
The Widener defense did an outstand-
ing job shutting down the Kemberling-
Glowatski connection as the two paired
up only one time for nine yards.
Congratulations to Nick Russo, winner
of the "Bruno" award.
The Aggies try to regroup and travel to
Juniata tomorrow to take on their peren-
nial nemesis. Game time is 1:30 p.m.
Mike Moyer (96) and Glen Pazzalia
(97) converge on Widener's Dan Guy.

Doylestoivn's
Great Debate
by ED. Wengryn
The candidates for the 8th Congres-
sional District from Pennsylvania squared
off in the All-Purpose Room before a
crowd of 436 people for the first of their
campaign debates. The candidate, Peter
Kostmayer, three-term Democratic In-
cumbant, was set up against Republican
contestant David Christian.
Both candidates are young and have
visions for the future. In the words of Dr.
Click, "No matter who wins the election,
the voters of Bucks County and this dis-
trict do." As for the debate itself, county
voters got an ear full.
In opening statements. Christian used
the time to introduce himself and his
background. He presented himself as a
fighter. As a child he was on welfare until
his mother remarried. He was also the
youngest Army captain ever (he received
commission at age 20) and left Vietnam
as a disabled veteran. He spoke against
Agent Orange, against taxes, and sup-
ported jobs for the disabled.
When Kostmayer got up to open, he
talked about his returning jobs to Bucks
County, the reopening of Eastern Ce-
•ramics, and the saving of steel worker
jobs. He mentioned the bringing of
federal urban development monies to
the district, and the preservation of the
district's wildlife areas including the first
federal wildlife preservation in tiw
district.
Kostmayer looked polished in his pre-
sentation of materials as his experience
showed. He answered the questions asked
of him while gibing his opponent. .
, Christian tried continually to push the
fact that Kostmayer misrepresented the
people, that he sold them short and uses
redirect to cover it up.
Kostmayer made a point of informing
Christian that Washington vras a tel
tougher than the campaign and that
working there is no picnic. And to that
extent Kostmayer is correct as Christian
appears naive to Washington and be-
cause he says it will happen he is al^j
assuming Reagan will win and that he
will "have the President's car."
By the end of the debate the can-
didates settled down and left the voters
from Bucks County with a difficult chore.
Do we go with the candidate who works
for us and gets things done? Or do we
vote for the candidate who might work
for us a little bit harder, or maybe not at
all? These questions will be answered on
election day and from there time will tell.
Blood Drive Coming Soon
For the past three tries, DVC's Blood
Drive has failed to reach its goal of 200
pints. This is due to a lack of support by
teachers and students. With more than
800 people living on campus, you figure
more than 200 would show up for a
chance to "save a life." So let's get out
there on November 28th from 10:30
a.m. -3: 30 p.m. and help yourself to
save a life.

DISTRICT DEBATE
Kostmayer / Christian Debate
Photo by Tim Ireland
HERE WE GO AGAIN!
by E.D. Wengryn
As the second debate between the
presidential candidates started 1 knew It
wouldn't be that fun. How much fun can
you have with foreign affairs, the Beirut
bombings, and Russian "star wars?" Let
me tell you that the candidates lived up
to my expectations.
Mondale did everything he did the first
time. He made his points and answered
his questions. He also prodded Reagan
on his failures as a leader, his lack of
awareness, and his inability to be effec-
tive when the time comes.
-Reagan, on the other hand, was more
relaxed this time. He delivered smooth
speeches and rebuttles. His only problem
was he didn't always reply to a question
or a stated fact. Because of this Reagan
seemed detached, which almost proved
Mondale's statements. But like 1 said,
who listens when it's foreign affairs? .
The whole debate was not a complete
waste as some facts were presented,
such as: the inability of the present ad-
ministration to secure an agreement with
the Russians, the fact that the arms rac€
continues at a dangerous pace, and that
the Carter-Mondale administration sold
the United States short. All of these facts
were stretched out and pushed around
and twisted to make each candidate look
good. After all, isn't that what counts?
All in all, the debate was working
toward two separate goals: one, to prove
age hasn't ruined Reagan, and two, that
Mondale is a strong person, not a wimp.
Both candidates proved these goals to be
true. As for a winner, that's tough. If you
look at answers and debating points,
Mondale wins, but because Reagan im-
proved so much he looked to be a win-
ner. The final choice is your vote on
Election Day.
Crimes of the Heart
by E.D, Wengryn
On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
nights, the DVC All-Purpose Room was
transformed into a theatre for the pro-
duction Crimes of the Heart by the
Delaware Valley Regional Theatre Com-
pany. The performances by the actors
were superb as they recreated the drama
that took place in the new old south.
The story is about the lives and loves
of three sisters. The oldest sister, Lenny,
lived her life for Grandpa, who took care
of them after their mother hung herself
and the cat. He is now in the hospital
and about to die while Lenny feels lost
because she has no one to live for any-
more. Meg, on the other hand, has to
face up to the fact that she is not as
strong as she thought she was when she
has to face the lover she ran out on over
five years before. Babe, on the other
hand, is in real trouble as she faces a trial
for shooting her husband because he
found out she slept with a 15-year-old
black man. He also has picture proof.
The play handles all of these problems
as the story solves them, each in its own
time. As Lenny finally gets to make a
wish on the candles with a cake
underneath, the play ends with everyone
happy. This show, its cast, and story are
worth anyone's time to see and it's sug-
gested that if a performance is around
again that everyone see it.

CLUB NEWS
Newman Club
On October 12th, the Newman Club
hosted its first lecture of the semester.
The lecture was on the topic of "Rela-
tionships." given by Rev. Joseph Cistone
from St. Jude's Roman Catholic Church.
Father Joe, as he is more commonly
known, started the evening with a brief
prayer and then a little background about
himself. He came to St. Jude's in Oc-
tober of 1982 and was made the Spiri-
tual Advisor to the Newman Club. He
opened with a brief talk about relation-
ships and then it was open for discus-
sion. The topic that was on the students'
minds was friendships. Friendships have
a way of breaking apart in the last year of
college. Reasons for this were given by
the group and also by Father Joe. When
it was time to end the discussion. Father
Joe gave a short summary and ended
with a prayer.
The Newman Club would like to invite
all students to come to their next lecture,
which will be on "Personal Relation-
ships." The lecture will be held on
November 12th from 8-9 p.m. in the
Student Center. Room 201. 202. It
promises to be very educational for all.
Food will t« provided.
APIARY SOCIETY DOES
HONEY EXTRACTION
On Thursday evening November 1,
1984, the DVC Apiary Society (beekeep-
ing club) will be extracting the College's
honey crop. Anyone interested in seeing
how honey is extracted, and if they like,
participating in the process, is invited to
stop down at the Bee House (across the
railroad tracks in back of Berkowitz Hall)
anytime after 7:00 p.m.
The Apiary Society has teen meeting
about every two weeks this fall (watch for
the yellow hexagonal signs for meeting
announcements) , and the meetings have
included an excellent film dealing with
many aspects of the honey bee, a slide
presentation on honey gathering, honey
processing, and honey types, and mem-
bers assisting Dr. Berthold (the club ad-
visor) in judging the Montgomery County
Beekeepers Association Honey Show.
As in past years, the club has many
types of honey plus related honey bee
products tor sale. Included are liquid
clover, orangeblossom. buckwheat, wild-
flower, and eucalyptus honey; finely
crystallized honey spreads of plain, apri-
cot, cinnamon, strawberry, and raspber-
ry. The honey types are great for snack-
ing in your room, and they also are great
to take home for your family or to use as
holiday gifts. The club also has available
beeswax candles which make great gifts.
The honey bee products mentioned
above are available from club members
and also at club meetings.-
In addition to the honey extracting
planned for Thursday, the club will also
be involved in making a beeswax con-
taining product for treating and water-
proofing leather items like field shoes
and the making of beeswax candles.
Members and non -members alike are in-
vited to attend the meetings and to par-
ticipate in the evening's activity.

Dear Editors,

Dear Editors,
Last Friday night, our room, Goldman
119, was ransacked and burglarized.
Several hundred dollars worth of mer-
chandise was stolen.
The break-in was a direct result of an
inability to secure the windows. The
screens are very easy to raise and the
one window latch doesn't even work.
The door was locked, so the entry was
most likely through the window.
This letter is not so much being written
to find out who the perpetrators are, or
even to blame any particular party. The
true purpose is to alert the students to be
more aware of the security of their
roonns.
What's done is done. This happened
to us, but it doesn't have to happen to
you. BE CAREFUL!
Signed,
The guys from 119
P.S. Ani; anoni/mous information would
be deeply appreciated.
Dear Editors & Students,
1 AM ANGRY. And disappointed.
Someone broke into the kitchen at West
Campus sometime during Homecoming
Weekend and helped themselves to
plates, silverware, glasses, serving
dishes, and the sharp knife. These things
did NOT belong to me personally but
have been entrusted in my care. So I
have been robbed.
PLEASE, 1 would like ALL of the items
returned. NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
They're needed!
YOU have to live with YOURSELF
and if you like the person that looks back
at you from your mirror after this, so be
■« . ; .

BUSH&FERRARO
FIGHT IT OUT!
by E.D. Wengryn
On Thursday, October 11, the second
of the nationally televised presidential
election debates took place. Only this
time it was Bush-Ferraro instead of
Reagan-Mondale. The debate took off
fast as both candidates for the vice
presidency were prepared.
As for style, Vice President Bush was
polished and smooth, delivering his
answers with charm, while Ms. Ferraro
came across subdued and raspy with her
voice sounding hoarse. This debate was
a major one for the women's movement,
as Ms. Ferraro set the standard for future
women in debates.
The debate was on the boring side as
there was no animosity between the can-
didates that would put sparks in the air.
The candidates saw fit to use the time to
push party platforms and criticize each
other's running mate instead of each
other. At times, the debate looked like a
contest over who could criticize and still
remain congenial. There were, however,
strong points scored in the debate. On
the religious issue, Ms. Ferraro put an
end to the religious question, stating that
whenever a religious belief interfered
with her making a public decision, she
would resign her ofifice. Bush's rebuttal
(showing a shakiness) was "I can respect
that." ■, V- .■■■.•;;.- ■
The fun part of the debate came when
Bush offered to help Ferraro distinguish
between two different Middle East situa-
tions. Ms. Ferraro asked in her rebuttal
that the vice president not patronize her.
The biggest question of the night, and
the one that the debates were held for
was, "Could you step in and replace the
president if necessary, and you, Ms. Fer-
raro, being a woman pose as an easy
target to a potential enemy of the United
States?" Ms. Ferraro assured everyone
that she would handle any aggression
"with swift and firm action, but with
responsible leadership those situations
will not arise." George Bush, on the
other hand, was able to express his
leadership abilities on his record and
political experience; for many that is
enough.
As for a winner of the debate. 1 would
say Vice President George Bush, only
because his style was smoother. My only
complaint is the attack on Ferraro's being
a woman and people feeling a woman
doesn't belong there. What about Indira
Ghandi of India and Margaret Thatcher
of Great Britain?

On Saturday night, numerous DVC
students and friends gathered behind ad-
missions for an old fashioned hayride,
only, a tractor pulled instead of a horse.
The show began at 8:00 when the first
wagon went out. At 9:00 when the sec-
ond trip began, John Flynn, the enter-
tainer of the night began with his songs of
humor "Saturday Night Special" and
"You Look Better in the Dark," along
with more melancholy music. He was
very good. The night was warm, the hay
rides were excellent, as for the dough-
nuts and cider, you can only have so
much. Anyway, the night went on until
2:30 when the fire finally died, even
though everyone was still ready to go.
Class of '86, you've done good. Thanks
for a great time from everyone.
''What Lurks Behind
Old Wooden Doors?"
by Jean Meyer
Once upon a time, in a land far from
Bucks County, lived a small family. The
family was very poor with only $10 to
their name but, they were very rich in
love. One day the father, Paul, said to
their eldest son, Ed. "Your sister Les has
not come home yet and it is almost dark,
go and find her." Ed, obeying his father's
wishes, set out to find his lost sister.
There was a small creek that ran
through their small property. Ed picked
up, like a hound dog, his sister's path.
The small creek took the small boy into
the middle of the "Black Forest." The
night was approaching, the animals were
hurrying to their homes, and the wind
was howling. The moon was full and the
owls were hooting. It was Halloween!
Since he was a grown boy of 12 he was
not frightened. Suddenly, a shadow
loomed in front of him and the boy
began to run. The faster he ran, the
faster his heart beat. He stopped to rest,
but he felt eyes on him . As he began to
turn, a bat flew at him. As he let out a
scream, he heard a soft footstep behind
him. Shaking, he turned around again
and asked shyly, "Who's there?" No one
answered. Finally a black shadow from
the black oak appeared. It was his little
sister Les. As he let out a sign of relief,
Les gave her big brother a hug.
Now, the problem was leaving the
Black Forest which was pitch black and
the weather was becoming balmy. The
children started walking and they came
upon an old creeky house. The shutters
were blowing, the porch was crecking.
and the swing set was swinging. As the
children opened the door, a bat came at
them. Les gave out a scream, but Ed
calmed her by starting a fire in the fire-
place. The children huddled together by
the fire to get warm. They did not speak,
but listened to the sounds of the Black
Forest. Suddenly, there was a loud crack
of lightning and the rain began to pour.
In the distance they heard footsteps.
"Who could that be," they wondered.
The footsteps began to get louder by
each beat of the children's heart. The
porch steps creaked, one by one. One
knock on the old wooden door, and
another knock, and a third knock. Sud-
denly, the door swung open.
What do \^ou think happened?

FALSE FIRE ALARMS COST
by George F. West
Do you know what happens when a
false fire alarm is sounded on campus?
The Doylestown Fire Company estimates
that at least sixty volunteer people go
into action, more than four pieces of
equipment are activated and an expense
of $500 is incurred.
In speaking with Assistant Fire Chief
Steve Walthcr, the facts and figures of a
false alarm were made quite clear. There
is always the distinct possibility of injury
or loss of life to the fire company person-
nel and innocent motorists and pedestri-
ans during the emergency response. In
the stress of the moment, people can,
and have suffered medical difficulties
such as heart attacks. Volunteer person-
nel at their employment or recreation
are, at the least, inconvenienced.
Beyond these consequences of a false
alarm, the public image of our College
community is demeaned. The College's
reputation, and therefore our students'
reputation, is very much on the line.
If all these factors are insufficient to
deter anyone from sounding a false fire
alarm, then the criminal consequences
should be considered. Doylestown Police
Chief Robert Cobb speaks of the possi-
bility of a $2500 fine and/or a year in jail
and if sotneone is injured or killed during
the incident, the penalties escalate to
$25.0(X) and seven to twenty years in
jail.
For all the above reasons, false fire
alarms- cost, it can cost others; it can cost
the College; it can particularly cost you.
"Splash" is no Dive
by Jamie Beck
The audience in the APR seemed to
love last Tuesday's motion picture
Splash. The movie. Splash, is about a
man who falls in love with a fish. That's
right, this past summer's hit movie is
about a man, Alan (Tom Hanks), who
falls in love with a mermaid (Daryl Han-
nah). The results are fun. laughs, love,
and excitement.
Alan didn't know he fell in love with a
mermaid until later in the story because,
out of the water, she had human legs.
She learned English in a day by watching
TV at Bloomingdale's and she go her
name, Madison, from Madison Avenue
in New York City.
The whole cast and crew of Splash
work wonderfully together. Especially
John Candy who plays Alan's playboy-
ish, overweight, older brother, Freddie.
He steals the scenes that he is in.
If you missed the movie, you missed a
lot. Wait until it comes out on video
cassette or on cable because Splash is an
excellent type of movie.

AGGIES UPSET BY
JUNIATA AGAIN, 2417
by Duke Blessing
After defeating Upsala three weeks
ago, the DVC Aggies were sitting pretty
atop the Middle Atlantic Conference
standings with a 3-1 record. With three
of their last four conference games at
home, including Widener and Lycom-
ing, the Aggies controlled their own
destiny, - ^ r.;.
Even after being crushed by Widener
on Homecoming Day, DVC still had a
slim chance for a piece of the title.
Destiny has dropped her bomb on the
50-yard line of James Work Stadium
and the team must dig out from under
the rubble to finish out the season with a
respectable record. Title hopes have faded
into oblivion for the 1984 football team.
The Aggies (3-4, 3-3) became Juniata's
first conference victim this year as they
finished on the short end of a 24-17
score.
Juniata's sophomore fullback Ian
Malee broke loose for a 26-yard touch-
down run with 1:34 left in the game to
break a 17-17 tie and eliminate the Ag-
gies from conference title contention.
Although overshadowed by the loss,
two Aggies enjoyed good days as they
broke school records.
Gary Kemberling went 19 of 33 for
233 yards and one touchdown. In the
process, he broke the single-season pass-
ing yardage record set last year by Tommy
O'Neil (1.365). Kemberling's favorite
target Dan Glowatski broke the single-
game record for receptions that he shared
with Harry Capozzi (nine) as he hauled
in 11 catches for 132 yards.
The Aggies travel to Madison, New
Jersey, tonight to take on FDU-Madison
at 8 p.m. Although title hopes are over
for this season, it would be a plus going
into 1985 winning the remaining three
games and finishing 6-4.

Lycoming.
The offensive problems continued even
though the Aggies outshot Lycoming
14-12 and had the advantage in corner
kicks, 9-5.

Field Hockey Team
Finishes on a Winning Note
by Dan Smoker
The DVC Field Hockey team finished
its season winning two of their last three
games, finishing above the .500 mark
with a record of 6-5-1. Their only loss of
the week came to Widener. The team
came back winning their last two games
by beating Scranton and Lycoming.
At Widener, DVC fell behind early,
but came back to tie the game on a Nancy
Brake goal with 10 minutes left in the first
half. Ten minutes into the second half
Carol Serik scored a goal to put DVC
ahead 2-1. Widener retaliated two min-
utes later with a goal to tie the score and
then scored again leaving DVC with a
3-2 loss.
The game with Scranton was not de-
cided until the closing seconds. Debbie
Mascuilli scored early in the first half to
put DVC ahead, but Scranton scored to
tie the game at 1-1. The game remained
deadlocked until the last five minutes
when DVC put on a surge which resulted
in a corner. Lisa Long made a perfect
corner causing a shuffle in front of the
Scranton goal that resulted in a penalty
stroke when the Scranton goalie sat on
the ball. Carol Serik took the penalty
stroke for DVC which she slammed past
the goalie to win the game with only nine
seconds remaining.
DVC played their final game with
Lycoming, which DVC easily won 6-1.
Carol Serik scored the lone DVC goal in
the first half. As the game resumed in the
second half the score was tied at 1-1, but
it was not to stay that way for long.
Jackie Heflich scored twice as Lisa Long,
Debbie Brown, and Debbie Mascuilli
each contributed with a goal.
"I was pleased with our performance
this year," said coach Peggy Vellner.
"We had a fine group of girls and I was
happy to have been their coach."

Deserve and Get
National Attention *
by Duke Blessing -^ ,
it's funny to sit in the cafeteria or in the
gym or anywhere on campus and listen
to students from other areas talk about
how great their teams are and how much
better they are than teams from up
around this area. Well, now it's about
time to get the facts straight!
In basketball, I will be the first person
to admit that the teams in this are are not
as good as the teams from schools in
Philadelphia, Washington, and New
York but there are several differences
which favor the Bux-Mont.
In Bux-Mont basketball, all students
are literate and none have prison rec-
ords. The starting five from C.B. East last
year are all attending colleges with mini-
mum SAT scores of 1100. The C.B.
West captains are pre-Med at Penn, Cor-
nell, and Delaware. Most Bux-Mont bas-
ketball players put studies first because
they realize that a college degree and a
professional-type job are where it's all at.
C.B. West is a football powerhouse
that has sent truckloads of players to col-
lege as student/athletes. This season, in
a rebuilding year, the Bucks are 6-0 and
have outscored their opponents 214-0!
Add C.B. East at 7-0 and North Penn at
6-1 and the top teams in one of the
state's best leagues could play anybody
anywhere. Football graduates of both
local schools flood law schools and
medical schools after their successful col-
lege days are over while again, none
choose prison after the last whistle blows.
C.B. East is ranked near the top of the
state annually in soccer and this year is
no different. The Patriots are 14-0-2 and
have been on some honorable mention
lists in the national rankings.
The Patriots also are state power-
MEN'S CROSS COUNTOY
By Ken McDaid
The DVC Cross Country team closed
out its dual-meet season in Reading last
Saturday. The Aggies ran tough but lost
an 18-37 decision to Albright College.
However, it must be noted that DVC
was without the services of frontrunner
Ken McDaid who missed the meet due
to an injury. Filling in the top spot for the
Aggies was sophomore Dave Spotts who
improved his time on Albright's course
by :55 over last year. Spotts finished 5th
overall. Right behind Spotts were senior
Tom Reynolds and sophomore John
Thomson who continues to improve.
Reynolds and Thomson clocked in eight
seconds behind Spotts and in 6th and
7th places respectively. The next finishers
for the Aggies were Al Krase and Don
Billet who took 9th and 10th places, 45
seconds behind Spotts. Closing at the
Aggie contingent was Rob Benner who
checked in at 12th place. DVC finished
the season with a 7-4 record (5-3 MAC) .
The Harriers take next week off and then
travel to Ft. Indiantown Gap, Pa. on
November 3 for MAC Championships.
houses in tennis and golf, where although
there are only a few scholarships avail-
able in both sports, student/athletes
from C.B. East seem to gobble them up
quickly.
C.B. West has sent wrestlers to Wilkes,
Rider, Bucknell, and Lehigh. The East-
West heavyweight match in 1980 fea-
tured an All-State football/wrestler head-
ed to the U.S. Naval Academy against
an All Area football/wrestler with an
SAT of 1400, headed to Lehigh Univer-
sity. Two of the best wrestlers in Aggie
history, Troy Marshall and Mark (med-
school) Sands are from Bux-Mont high
schools (C.B. West and Pennridge).
Throw in the M.V.P.'s of the Rhode
Island Field Hockey team (East's Karen
Murphy) and the All-A.C.C. captain of
William and Mary's Field Hockey team
(East's Lisa Fuccella) for good measure.
'Don't forget All- American quarterback
and outfielder Kevin Ward who is now in
the Phillies farm system and All-American
nose tackle Ivan Lesnick (both of C.B.
West) who turned down pro offers to go
to medical school.
C.B. West's Jim Jensen of the Miami
Dolphins was recently featured in Sports
Illustrated and East's Scott Stankavage
plays for the Denver Broncos.
Colleges at every level flock to these
Bux-Mont schools because of the com-
bination of superior athletic skills and
superior academic talent.
So as the basketball season approach-
es, you may not see any broken rims in
Buckingham (C.B. East) or shattered
backboards in Doylestown (C.B. West)
but you will see admission counselors
from the top 50 schools in the nation
drooling as these student/athletes apply
and seriously consider their institution.
For what is the real purpose of going
to college? The Bux-Mont high schools
have all the answers!
And ma'am, these are the facts —
only the facts!

WHERE DID THIS
FEELING COME FROM?
An Editorial
Where did the fear and mistrust come
from? I've heard this question asked many
times this semester around the campus
and I often wonder the same thing myself.
I know many people who used to go
3ut around campus by themselves in past
years but this year they won't due to a lack
of trust and an ever-present fear. Perhaps
these feelings are caused by the disrespect
and the poor attitude that has been shown
around campus. I would never dream of
going anywhere without locking-up my
room this year.
Maybe it is time to change the attitude
around here. It sure would be nice if there
would be a lot jnore respect shown to
both the campus and the people living
on it, In a group type of living arrange-
ment, everyone must think of "we" and
not just "me." It would also be nice if the
physical damage to the campus would
cease, but I suppose that won't happen
until the knotheads who cause this
damage leave.
As for the fear of being alone at night,
there isn't too much that anyone can do
about that until the poor attitude is
changed and maybe a little more trust is
demonstrated. :,:
If anyone has any comments on this
subject, jot them down and drop them in
Ram Pages. P.O. Box 988.
COFFEEHOUSE
WITH LINDA BLACK
On Friday, October 26. Delaware Val-
ley was treated with the pleasant sound-
ing tunes of Linda Black. Linda started in
the coffeehouse but the excitement was
too great. Before long she was jamming
in the courtyard and the excitement con-
tinued. She sang Rock 'n Roll history —
everything from Led ZeppJin to Simon
and Garfunkel. Linda went beyond sing-
ing, she entertained. She had the whole
audience involved. The coffeehouse
seemed like a mini-talent show with solos
by Fib and Kitty. Good job. girls!
Besides good music, amusing entertain-
ment, and the good old DVC talent, there
was plenty of doughnuts to go around.
Surely she will return, due to the over-
whelming response. She said. "She
loves Del Val" and we'd love to have her
back again and again. If you did not see
her this time — don't feel bad she will be
back. Great job, Linda!
MUSIC
Spread Thy Voice
ByL.EB.
This past weekend, October 25. 26,
and 27, six members of the Chorale along
with Mrs. Roberts represented Delaware
Valley College at the Pennsylvania Col-
legiate Choral Festival which was held at
Clarion University in northwestern Penn-
sylvania. The representatives from DVC
were Dan Brehm, Steve Cissel, and Cliff
Love as basses, and Anita Chrisman,
Betsy Dixon, and Leslie Blatt as altof.
The group left on Wednesday evening
and traveled to East Waterford, PA.
where they stayed at Loveland farm over-
night. Thanks Cliff! Everything was
super!!
After a delicious, hearty breakfast, the
crew was off to what began as an exciting
and educational weekend. The chorus,
which was made up of approximately
150 voices from 22 colleges, rehearsed
all day Thursday and Friday under the
direction of Mr. Robert Page, one of the
most distinguished choral directors in this
country.
After rehearsal on Saturday morning,
the chorus assembled for the main con-
cert. The program consisted of a Bach
Motet and a song written by Hadyn,
which were both sung in German; a piece
by Carl Orff which was done in Latin;
and a few songs which were taken from
modern operas. It was a difficult but re-
warding program as everyone worked
extremely hard to produce one of the
best concerts I've ever attended. After
the concert, we all settled down for a
6-hour drive back "home" to DVC.
Steve, Dan, Cliff, Anita. Betsy, Leslie,
and Mrs. Roberts are very proud to an-
nounce that the 1985 Pennsylvania Col-
legiate Choral Festival will be held here
at Delaware Valley College. It will be
great!
Thanks guys! It was a heck of a week-
end so let's do it up good for the festival
next year!

Fall Gardening Lecture III
DAYLILYMANIA
By Bill Rein
The last of the 1984 Fall Gardening
Lecture Series, co-sponsored by the
OH, department and the Doylestown
Nature Club, was held last Wednesday,
October 24 in the coffeehouse. It fea-
tured Dr. D.K. Christiansen . a surgeon
by profession, and a daylily fancier by
hobby.
Botanically known as Hemerocallis.
meaning "beauty for today," daylilies
bloom but one day. In different forms,
one bed of these plants can give continu-
ous bloom of flowers, from June through
September. And different forms there
are! Some have foliage that is evergreen,
some are semi-evergreen, and many
others are completely deciduous. Dr.
Christianson has about 800 cultivars in
his own garden; in the slide presentation,
he showed us beautiful deep reds, some
almost-whites, bi-colored daylilies with
contrasting "throats," and some newly
popular varieties with a spot of color
(called "eyes") on one petal.
The excellent characteristics of this plant
may go beyond its varied forms of beauty
in flower — they are virtually indestruc-
tible perennials! As Dr. Christianson said.
"You can even mow them with a lawn-
mower and still can't get rid of them."
Everyone has probably seen the "wild"
tawny daylily in rows along roads — that
orange flower on a stalk, flowering in mid-
summer — so beautiful yet not bothered
by a highway life. This plant is genetically
a "triploid. " but there are diploids and te-
traploids now bred with thicker petals,
and even double-flowered daylilies.
Dr. Christianson noted that the popu-
larity of the new breeds is due to the work
of the American Hemerocallis Society, to
which he belongs. This group swaps
plants, finds new breeds, and sells them
at auctions. No price seems too great,
either. Some admirers are willing to pay
upwards of $300 for new and scarce va-
rieties! All of this interest has led to a cur-
rent registration of almost 25.000 differ-
ent varieties. "You have to go and see it
before you buy it." explained Dr. Chris-
tianton."
If you are interested in growing a plant
with beautiful, recurved petals, which re-
quires no skill to plant, and can be left
alone for about five years (blooming tre-
mendously), and which flowers during
the hottest part of the summer when
everything else is exhausted, get yourself
a mail-order garden catalog and buy
some of these terrific plants. If you are
already familiar with daylilies. you might
want to contact the Doylestown Nature
Club, which encourages anyone to join
for $12 a year; and maybe stop down at
the Delaware Valley Daylily Society's an-
nual auction, which is held each year the
first Saturday after Labor Day, at the Tyler
Arboretum in Lima, PA.
Mr. Benner, who introduced the
speaker, and Mrs. Brown, the president
of the Nature Club, both noted that this
lecture series has been so successful that
they are thinking of scheduling one for
spring, next semester. Watch for details
in upcoming Ram Pages

Dear Editors
Dear Editors and Studettts,
I would like to thank the maintenance
department for the quick action in taking
care of and fixing the problem with off/
on hot water in Bamess and Cooke. After
talking several times with the new mana-
ger of maintenance. Mr. Jim Tully, I feel
for once that we have a person who is
concerned with our consumer rights as
resident students at Del Val. As one who
has dealt with our administration in trying
to get things done in the past, it was a
pleasure to deal with Mr. Tully. I only
hope the administration continues to back
him and let him do his job and they do
theirs. They will always say that the dorms
are first on the list with maintenance and
that everything is fine in the dorms. As a
dorm resident seven days a week. I'm glad
we finally have someone who sees our
problems and also acts on them. I wish
Mr. Tully the best of luck in fixing the
many "band-aid jobs" on campus, that
should have been fixed properly the first

GIVING BLOOD
By E.D. Wengryn
On Wednesday. November 28 from
10:30 to 3:30 the Annual Fall Blood
Drive will occur in the All-Purpose Room
of the Student Center. The bbod mobile
comes to DVC twice a year — spring
and fall to collect blood for the area hospi-
tals. Every year, students and teachers of
Delaware Valley College are encouraged
to donate.
To give blood is not difficult and would
occupy 45 minutes of your day. 10- IS
minutes filling out forms and being
checked by a nurse (blood pressure and
anemia testing). You then move over to
the table where you are to give blood
(only if you pass your tests) . The donation-
lasts about 20 minutes and doesn't hurf4:
at all (you may feel a numb spot for a
while) . After that you are escorted to the
doughnut and juice table where you are
pampered by nurses and nursing aides. i
This is the longest and best part of the"
donation, lasting till you want to leave;'!
and folks that is all there is to it. It doesn'tt
hurt and the blood you give is used tO;
help people who need it — people whai;.
have lost blood in car accidents; people"
who need operations or may have in-/-
jured themselves severely. These people'
might die if the blood was not given and
one day you may be one of these peo-
ple. Think about it. and then sign up
either with your R.A.. in the Student
Center, the cafeteria, or post office to
give blood. The life you save could be
your own.

Local High Schools
VICTORS AGAIN
By Duke Blessing
The local "big three" (C.B West, C.B.
East, and North Penn) put all cylinders
into gear and destroyed their opposition
again as the "upped " their composite
record to 22-1
The Bux-Mont league, which has al-
ways been one of the top leagues in
Southeastern Pennsylvania, is making
an already strong state wide reputation
that much stronger with its "hanlball" ap-
proach to football.
Powerhouse *1 — Doylestown's Cen-
tral Bucks High School West. The Bucks
made it 7-0 on the season as they de-
feated Pennridge. 28-0, This marks the
seventh straight shutout for the Bucks as
they have outscored their opponents.
245-0. They rushed for 33(-> yards and
passed for 122 yards. Defensively, they
allowed only 69 total yards. Not bad for
a rebuilding year!
Powerhouse ^2 — Buckingham's
Central Bucks High School East. The
Patriots made it 8-0 as they beat up ol%
Perkiomen Valley. 31-{X Offensively,'
they churned out 195 yards and on the
defensive side, held Perk Valley to 162
total yards. Hello Thanksgiving!
Powerhouse *3 — Lansdale's North
Penn High School. The Knights went 7-1
as they crushed Upper Perkiomen*
46-13. Including punt returns, the Knights
racked up 5(X) total yards (without their
top two offensive players) and held UP.
below 200 total yards. The one blemish
on a perfect North Penn season is a 7-6
loss to C.B. East. Bring on C.B West!
This weekend: Upper Perkiomen is at
C.B. West. C.B. East is idle and NortH:
Penn takes on Souderton.
The well-oiled, three-headed monstef
at the top of all Southeastern Pennsylva-
nia polls will get you — even if you're
watching out!
Video Halloween
By E.D. Wengryn
This past Saturday night DVC hosted
their traditional Halloween Dance The
night began at 9:00 p.m with most peo-
. pie dressed up and ready to get down at
the Video Dance. The night was warm
and many of the costumes were too hot.
but everyone was having fun . There were
people dressed up with all different out-
; fits. You had your vampires, devils, ghouls
of all sorts along with scarecrows. Cindy
Laupher (her groupies) . clowns, dwarves,
fairy godmothers, wood elves, and even
a librarian The winner of the costume
contest — a tie with Tim Ireland as a
ballerina — God knows where he got the
tutu and Brian Breneman as a rabbit (a
few of the girls thought he would make a
cute playgirl bunny) . Other competition
was a sexy sister (no nuns like that in my
days at Sunday school) and a little white
angel. The group that showed the videos
while we danced was pretty good, show-
ing such videos as Duran Duran's Reflex.
Cindy Laupher's She-Bop. Michael Jack-
son's Thriller, and Wham's Wake Me up
before You Go Go. Other videos were
by Billy Idol. Van Halen, Kenny Loggins.
and many more. The only disappoint-
ment of the night was that Mrs. Feldstein
didn't have all of her cakes and cookies
done and we all had to wait until Wed-
nesday. Otherwise the night could be
called a success.

AGGIES
DEFEAT FDU, 14-6
by Duke Blessing
The Delaware Valley College football
Aggies left for Madison. New Jersey on
Friday afternoon with the intention of not
letting their losing streak run to three
straight
In what looks like the last DVC — FDU
football game (FDU dropped out of the
Middle Atlantic Conference to schedule
more competitive independent schools)
for quite a while, the Aggies (4-4, 3-3)
evened up their record with a 14-6 victory.
The Aggies took an early 7-0 lead
when Nick Russo capped off a 70-yard
drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. Russo
finished the night with 148 yards on 28
carries.
Brian Breneman made it 14-0 before
the half ended when he hauled in a 7-yard
pass from Gary Kemberling (9-24-167
yards) for a touchdown.
The Aggies shut out FDU until the final
play of the game when Greg Rutter
scored on a 1-yard touchdown reception
to avoid the goose egg.
Del Val hosts a tough Lycoming team
tomorrow at 1:30 p.m before closing
out the season next Saturday, at home,
against Wilkes College.
AGGIES' OFFENSIVE
PROBLEMS CONTINUE
By Duke Blessing
The Delaware Valley College soccer
team traveled to Drew University last
Saturday and were soundly defeated. 8 I.
The loss drops their record to 1-11
Rich Hallowell scored the lone Aggie
goal off an assist from Rich Berger.
The team concludes their season at
home tomorrow against Wilkes College'
at 11:00 a.m.

WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL
By Carolyn Brodhag
The girls ended their season with a lose
to Moravian on Thursday night. Thi'^
gave the Lady Aggies a 6-9 overall
record, and 2-3 in the league. The only
player that is leaving is senior Sheryl
Henry. She is a 4-letterer and was a key
defensive hitter during her four years at
Del Val. She will be missed next year.
Our two juniors also had very good
seasons. Co-captains Michele Heffner
and Chris LeFevre made an excellent
team. Chris, despite a mid-season injury,
had a very productive year. Chris was
our top hitter and also excellent defen-
sive player. Michele "Babe" Heffner was
our setter and really showed us some
new moves with her dink techniques.
Vicki Keener, our sole sophomore varsi-
ty player, also improved greatly. Her set-
ting has improved and she has also been
a good aggressive player. Freshmen
Sharon Chapman and Marion Alberici
also helped out. Junior Varsity had a
good showing too. Carole Gwynne helped
out varsity during Chris' injury Overall,
the girls had a much improved season.
You girls should \x proud. A big thanks
to all our loyal fans, especially Ray.
Thanks for all the good times everyone.
Next year!

Caesar's is a Super Success!!!!!
{ Well, that's putting it mildly! On Thurs-
day, November 1, the DVC Snack Bar
was transformed into a pub-like atmos-
phere with posters, streamers, soft lights,
and music! It was the opening night of
Caesar's Pub and DVC sure gave it a
smashing start. In fact, the only thing that
was missing was the alcohol and I'm sure
that not too many people noticed its
absence .
The music was excellent and many
people didn't stop moving throughout
the entire evening. The dance floor re-
mained packed the whole night. As for
the non-alcoholic drinks, they were deli-
cious! Both the dacquiris and the pina
coladas were quite refreshing after danc-
ing up a sweat (and I mean that literally!)
The non-alcoholic beer was definitely en-
joyable and 1 never missed the alcohol
that wasn't in it. Of course you can't
forget about the soda and that good ol'
DVC cider. The munchies on the table
were a good idea and were very much
enjoyed. The overall atmosphere couldn't
have been better.
As for attendance, the total number
that passed through the door was 472,
almost twice what was expected! The
overall idea for the pub was to give peo-
ple something to do on a Thursday
evening and 1 would say that this was
accomplished with much success.
Congratulations to the RA's and Stu-
dent Government for this very successful
evening. A big thanks also goes to Thirsty's
beverages!
To those of you who missed the pub.
have no fear, it will return again this
semester! Next time you see an ad for
Caesar's, volunteer some time, get in-
volved, and by all means, make sure you

Dear Editors %
Dear Editors,
I extend an open invitation to any ad-
ministrator who would like to spend a
night in a dorm. Maybe then they could
see, hear, and believe the problems that
occur in a dorm on weekend nights.
These problems go on time after time,
because of the ineffectiveness of this col-
lege's Residence Life Office and Dean of
Students' Office to enforce the school's
policies and punishments for vandalism,
inappropriate behavior, false alarms, and
drunkenness in these dorms. *
If administrators can not or will not en-
force these rules, then these rude stu-
dents will continue to cause hassle after
hassle.
I feel it's about time the Residence Life
Office, etc.. start backing up these rules
with some action against these students.
If this lack of action keeps up. then it's
no wonder that this college has an in-
crease in vandalism, false alarms, and
uncalled for rowdiness in the dorms.
The buck has to STOP somewhere.
Signed.

Aggies Embarrassed by
Lycoming, 42-7
by Duke Blessing
If in a "for amusement only" pool,
DVC was getting 10 points, at home,
against a Lycoming team that had lost to
Upsala (whom the Aggies crushed 27-7),
I would have bet the savings account, the
mortgage, and the diploma.
I % ^ihsiderlng that the Aggies were
healthy and a lot was at stake for the
seniors, most followers felt that the game
played on the field, without any point-
spreads, would finish with DVC on top.
Thank God that there are no "pools"
on Division III games because I would
now be poor, homeless, and uneducated
after betting it all on what I thought was a
sure win.
The Aggies (4-5, 3-4) must beat Wilkes
College tomorrow just to finish with a
.5(X) record. This turn of events is due to
a 42-7 thrashing at the hands of Lycom-
ing College, the worst defeat since 1976
when the Aggies were whipped by Al-
bright. 35-0 (in the days when DVC was
expected to lose) .
. • When Gary Kemberling (8-23-62 yds.)
hit junior Brian Breneman with a 2-yard
touchdown pass in the first quarter, the
Aggies took a 7-0 lead . Soon after, disas^
ter struck and struck again. •'?'■■ ■
Lycoming scored 42 unanswered points
the rest of the game as the Aggies went
under the .500 mark for the season.
On 27 attempts. DVC could only
muster 48 yards rushing and finished the
day with a slight 119 total yards.
Defensively, the Warriors shredded
the Aggies like a La Machine as they
rushed an incredible 59 times for 277
yards and passed for another 181 yards
— for a whopping 458 total yards!
The Aggies close out the season
tomorrow against Wilkes College, game

Aggies Lose 3 Straight
to Close Season
By Duke Blessing
The DVC soccer team saw its season
mercifully come to an end as they drop-
ped their final three games, all at home,
to finish the year with a 1-14 record.
- The Aggies opened up the season los-
%\Q seven in a row. They won their first
and only game of the season against
Kings on Homecoming Day and then
lost their last seven games of the season
DVC was defeated by Washington
College. 2-1. Moravian College. 5-0,
and Wilkes College. 3-0, v
It's (oo bad for the team that Home-
coming occurs only one day out of the
year
Dear Dr. & Mrs. Feldstein,
Thank you for inviting us to your
house on Halloween night. To many
of us it has become an annual tradi-
tion. Your hospitality and warmth
creates the most special treat, not to
mention all the different cookies,
brownies, and cakes. Again, thank
you!
Sincerely.

byJ.B.
PeeWee and his gang are back in this
sequel to the hit movie Porky's. Porky's
2 follows them through the next day after
the first movie ended. They were up to
their old antics playing tricks on "Miss
Ballbreaker." Now the guys are trying to
put on Shakespeare and having trouble
from Reverend Flavor, who's attempting
to shut down the production of the play
under moral reasons. The Ku Klux Klan
is mistreating an Indian teenager and the
boys comes to his aid and get their
r .'venge.
The movie is fair, not as good as the
original. But, it's worth a look if you
don't have much to do.

Election "84^
Was It Any Big Surprise?
By ED. Wenyryn
For those of you who cion't know,
Ronald Rt^ayan was rt'-t'li'ck'd President
of tlu' L)nitt>d States. With more than
ri8% of tlif popular vote. Mr Reayan
will continue to serve this country as
fVsident. The Republican Party knew
Reayan was yoiny to win. and win biy,
and niativ Republican candidates hoped
that his win would mean a win for them,
too.
The Republican Partv expected to cap-
ture back the 2b seats thev lost in the
house in 19(S2. and to add a few more to
it. with the way the presidential campaiyn
looked it was almost a reality The Rea-
yan win went as far as. Reayan The Re-
pubicans can iv\(\ onlv lb more seats \o
the house, little more than half of what
thev expected In the race for Senate
seats Republicans lose two; the Senate
now stands at 53 Republicans and 47
Democrats.

A Human Beiny
The only plus for Reayan came in
yovernorships the Republican Party now
has 17 yovernorships to the Democrats
Xi (a net yain of two) . Other surprises in
the elections show that the US is not
ready for women in politics. 65 women
ran for house seats (20 incumbants): 2'A
wotnen will serve in Conyress. When it
comes to the Senate and yovernorships
no woman who ran won. Cierakfine Fer-
raro was no number swayer
Ail in all this election year set the staye
for America's future. As both parties
have to recover from their losses or lack
of yains. thev must redefine themselves.
Atrierica is chanyiny. and the political

have been two separate worlds. We now
have a chance to change all that. You
can help bv joining THE ROTORACT
CLUB OF DVC. The Rotoract Club is
designed to develop leadership and res-
ponsible citizenship through service to
the community, to advance the cause of
international understanding and peace,
and to promote recognition and accep-
tance of high ethical standards as a
leadership quality and vocational res-
ponsibility. All of these stress the oppor-
tunity to mingle with and serve the
Doylestown community with the support
of the Doylestown Rotary Club and the
opportunity to become better acquainted
with members of the Doylestown busi-
ness community.
Right now we're brainstorming for

A Day of Conifers
by Bill Rein
On Saturday. DVC hosted the Mid-
Atlantic Regional Meeting of the Ameri-
can Conifer Society. It was a "first" for
the college', and a "must" for anyone in-
terested in landscaping or uncommon
dwarf evergreens — their propagation,
care, and effectiveness in the landscape.
The day was filled with enlightening
talks, beautiful slides from around the
world (and hidden places nearby), and
trips to local sights which incorporate
dwarf and "tall" conifers in their busi-
ness and in their landscaping. Our own
Mr. Frederick Ray was the meeting
coordinator.
It all started with a slide show tour
through Germany and the Netherlands,
through their conifer arboreta, a collec-
tion made by Dr. Seik of our OH,
department. In this talk "Conifers in
Europe," he explained that some of the
specimens which were only chest-high
were about 20 years old! It illustrated the
"dwarfness" of these plants — many of
which came from Switzerland, where a
mountainous climate results in dwarfness.
According to the treasurer of the
American Conifer Society, Mr Bill
Schwartz, most of the rare cultivars do
produce good viable seed — and he
showed us a collection of "aberrant
seedlings" (like tricolor pines) to prove
tlie point. In fact, he actually took a pine
cone and showed us how to extract the
seed from it with a pair of snips! From
these seeds come potentially worthwhile
new cultivars.
The program even answered the ques-
tion. "How do 1 grow conifers if I have
shade to deal with?" Mr. David Benner.
who especially has learned to deal with
his own home landscape located "on the
north side of a north -facing slope,"
pointed out 20 conifers which he has had
success with from a list of about 1 14
evergreens he currently cares for.
In connection with this, Mr. Bill Wells.
a landscape contractor and charter mem-
ber of the ACS. immediately emphasized
that while these unusual conifers are ter-
rific in themselves, the real question is
"How can they ultimately be used in the
landscape?" He said he looks at the rows
and rows in these nurseries and his
"mouth waters" when he thinks about
"their color, texture — where they could
generate lots of interest." Mr Wells
showed slides of flowing beds of varied
coniferous forms which he and others
designed and added some slides depict-
ing how not to landscape!
The lectures culminated in slides of an
estate full of beds and beds of so many
varieties, "sports." and unnamed
"sports" that they filled a twenty-five
page pamphlet of small print in Rarafiora
and other treats by Mr Ray. Raraflora
was once an estate owned and created
by a Mr. Fred Bergman and his wife,
whose years of design, culture, and
development of thousands of conifer
cultivars may be unexcelled by an other
single landscape. A definite hidden trea-
sure, the Bergman estate was once called
"the world's largest collection of dwarf
and slow-growing conifers ... a nursery
for the connoisseur . . of particular in-
terest to collectors of rare plants and bon-
sai enthusiasts . . "by Cad Hahn in a
Washington Star article and was a fitting
conclusion to an informative lecture
series.

A COLD NIGHT!
by Jean Meyer
What do you get when you put college
kids on ice'^ Well, you get a lot of sore
ankles, sore feet, but most of all — FUN!
On Thursday njgh*. =^ good sized group
of student took out -heir frustrations on
the ice. With a full toad of students, the
DVC van left the campus at 8 p.m. and
headed to Meiody Brook Rink. Once
there, the group rented skates and had a
terrific time.
Once on the ice, some hung on to the
wall while others showed their talent.
The rink was full of skaters, then the ice
was turned over to the "Flyers." The
hockey players played a vigorous game,
but there were no injuries. Then the ice
was gratefully turned back to the ama-
teur ice skaters. Once ten o'clock arrived,
the lights were turned off and the skaters
went home, having had a good time.
I hope to see another night like this in
the future! ,

ROUND ONE:
Celtics Win
on Refs Decision

Retaliate: 1. to return the like for. repay

- ■ "Attention all TRUE fans of Philadel-
phia Sixers Basketball." The Date" i**
December 12. 1984. The Time - 7:35
p.m. The Place — The Philadelphia
Spectrum. The Event — Round Two!
When Larry Bird and his merry band
of hatchet men come to the Spectrum in
a few weeks, they had better be sporting
their best artillery and hard hats I will be
ifi the cheap seats along with about 3.(KK)
other crazies armed with silver and cop-
per currency, and array of Wilson golf
balls and Spalding hard balls, and a pea
shooter with scope vision.
About the game, all that matters is that
Larry Bird messed with the incomparable
Julius Erving. Hitting Dr. J. is even crazier
and will have more co!isequences than
attempting to kill the President of the
United States.
When Dr. <J was punched, tens of thou-
sands of Philly fans felt the impact of the
blow through their television sets and
radios. Not that the Doc needs it but on
December 12. his 18.276 personal bodv-
guards will let loose on their own seek-
and-destrov mission.
Nobody throws things at Billy C. de-
mon Johnson, and the entire Sixers
bench and gets away with it!
Nobody cheap-shots the Sixers and
expects to walk away from it healthv!
The Celtics should be advised to forfeit
the next game unless their idea of fun is
to watch each other go dowti. one by
one. under the weight of 18,276 seeth-
ing, foaming, fang-bearing loonies!
This all could have been easily avoided
if Larry Bird had even the slightest frac-
tion of sportsmanship and class that Julius
Erving has displayed throughout his il-
lustrious career.
Now. as one of the biggest Philadel-
phia fans of all time. I have heard the
calling to take part in a war on December
12 and serve my city and the greatest
sports legend of all time. I will be there
armed and dangerous, vocally abusive,
and ready to take aim on the most inspired
revenge game in modern time. The
Spectrum security had better strip-search
all spectators that night because the air
will be filled with flying objects on a direct
path towards the visitors' bench.
Boston, you have won round one. but
round two will be ours on a TKO!
Hey Red. Larry. ML. — we'll be wait-
ing for you on the 12th. and please,
don't stand us up!

Aggies Smash
Hapless Wilkes, 41-0
by Duke Blessing
"We'll have to play a heck of a game
to beat Wilkes. They'll come down here
smelling blood." Aggies head coach Al
Wilson iTiade this statement prior to the
ipeason finale against Wilkes college last
Saturday at James Work Memorial
Stadium,
I find only one problem with this state-
ment — Del Val was not scheduled to
play the Nebraska Corn buskers, or for
that matter, the Widener Pioneers. We
are talking about a football team that was
winless in all seven attempts this year.
Wilkes came into the contest with a 0-6- 1
league record. The onlv thing that I can
ascertaiji out of this exaggerated statement
is that psychological warfare exists even
on the Division III level.
The Aygies wound up closing the
1984 season on a resounding note bv an-
nihilating defenseless Wilki's. 4L(). The
game, for all practical purposes was over
at halftime as Del Val ran off to a 2L()
lead.

students without backing up their words
We do not need studi'iits who write letters
and sign their name to them siinplv to (ji't
the recognition and possiblv a couple f)f
pats on the hack. The best way to fi'at h
others and chanqe their atfitudi's is
through good example not siinplv words.

who writes them does not hack them up

Drinking Age Battle Isn't Over Yet
Location of Garden
![)amage Done to
New Garden ^
by Bill Rein ''i-''':'^'''-''^:':''-''''.t,,-''/^'^'-
The new triangular planting between
Work and Ulman Halls is another victim
of destruction on campus. What is
happening?
Three purple weeping beech trees
valued at a little less than $100 each
were planted in the triangular area
formed between three driveways next to
Work Hall, during Homecoming week.
Alumnus Nate Moser '32 had donated
money to the college for the trees.
Rather than allowing the trees to be
planted "anywhere," Mr. Ray, of the
Ornamental Horticulture department,
proposed to place them together, specifi-
cally to protect them from the "problem
driving" which seems to plague our cam-
pus. Keeping these unusual dwarf trees
together in one group planting also gives
a sort of showcase effect, as opposed to
planting them separately around the
campus.
However, poor driving has not posed
a problem. It was only a few days after
their planting when someone decided to
snap off one tree at the soil line. At the
same time, the others were loosened at
their roots; and, across campus at the
dwarf conifer garden behind the library,
a specimen awaiting transplanting was
dragged across the newly seeded area
around the greenhouse complex, and
left in the cafeteria parking lot. Then, a
few weeks later, a second weeping beech
was pulled right out of the soil. What is
the purpose of blowing someone's
donated money for the heck of it?
Mr. Ray noted that the project has
already had a sad history before it even
got in the ground! One of the original
three beeches was stolen from the lath
house last spring. Together, the damages
add up to us, the students who enjoy the
campus surroundings, paying for all
three trees. This complicates the fact that
many have complained that our land-
scaping is "not what it should be for a
college of science and agriculture."
Nonetheless. Mr. Ray has maintained
that, "Department philosophy is that the
trees will be maintained . 'We will not be
deterred . . . from continuing the pro-
ject," which will include planting a com-
patible groundcover for the entire garden
area.

Those who think a national 21 -year-
old drinking age will become a fact by
1986 may soon have to think again.
Though federal legislation seems bent on
forcing the states into adopting higher
drinking age laws by withholding 10% of
their federal highway tax money if they
don'', a number of observers think some
states won't comply. They'll be forfeiting
big bucks if they refuse — a total of $22
million for Wisconsin in 1986 and 1987,
for example — but some analysts say the
lost highway taxes will still be less than
projected losses in taxes and fees asso-
ciated with liquor sales.
For students, however, the point is
justice, not money. Bob Bingaman,
spokesman for the United States Student
Association, says the law is patently
wrong-headed and student associations
across the country are gearing up to
make their state legislatures understand
that. "On a gut level, 1 think it's a civil
rights issue," he says. "How can you tell
this age group. 'You can vote. You can
sue and be sued. You can marry. You
can serve in the military, but you can't
drink!? It's absurd!"
Bingaman says his group and others
are considering a constitutional challenge
to the law in court. The 25th Amend-
ment reserves control of alcohol to the
states, and critics see the coming battle
over the drinking age as a states' right
issue. ; ^ ;
At the U. of Texas-Austin, Rodney
Schlosser. student body president, says
he expects the battle to break there in
January. "1 don't want to let the whole
world know about all our bullets before
we shoot them." he says, but suggests
the students' general plan of attack will
include lobbying, educational efforts,
and the drafting of positive, alternative
legislation.
DWI laws the answer?
Schlosser points to the fact that Minne-
sota's traffic fatalities increased four-fold
after raising its drinking age to 19. Teens
had no trouble getting liquor, but took to
the dangerous and boring privacy of their
cars to drink it. It was only when Minne-
sota passed stiff driving-while-intoxicated
or DWI laws that traffic fatalities began to
decrease.
That's the kind of legislation Schlosser
has in mind, and, in fact, the Texas Stu-
dent Lobby has been on record behind
tougher DWI laws for the last two years.
"We would like to have positive DWI
legislation ready to go in January so
legislators can vote for something instead
of just having to vote against the 21-
year-old law," he says. Schlosser expects
no trouble in mobilizing massive student
support for these efforts. The law, he
says, has raised their consciousness
more than any other issue in the last ten
years because it directly touches their
lives as defense spending and other
issues don't.

M\^stic Mountains of the Plains
WITH ALLEN J KING
Saturday, December 8, 1984
8:00 P.M.
The Dakota Plains are the home for
bison, pronghoms, prairie dog, elk,
bear, and once the Sioux and Cheyenne
At the U. of Wisconsin -Eau Claire,
president of the student body Randy
Curtis says they're trying to mobilize the
support of private business in fighting the
new law. Students have blanketed the
supermarkets in town and all the bars on
Water St. with petitions, and they're
stumping for a public awareness club
called "I am driving." Participating bar
owners agree to provide free, non-
alcoholic drinks to club members who, in
turn, act as chauffeur for the drinking
members of their group. Memberships
cost nothing and participation, says Cur-
tis, is high.
Meanwhile, two researchers at Boston
U. are lending their support to the under-
21 -year-olds. Research by Robert Smith
and Ralph Hingson in the School of
Behavioral Science suggests that raising
the drinking age has no effect on overall
traffic deaths or on the drinking habits of
teenagers. "1 think teenagers have been
unfairly singled out," says Smith.
Smith and Hingson studied fatal
crashes in the three-year period after
Massachusetts raised its drinking age
from 18 to 20 and compared those pat-
terns with New York which did not raise
its legal drinking age. They found New
York fatalities declined almost as much
as Massachusetts. Moreover, there was
no reduction among 16- and 17-year-
olds, the group primarily targeted by the
new law.
Conclusions faulty . ■
; The Boston researchers have serious
reservations about the conclusions Con-
gress drew from the study it looked at in
drafting the 21 -year-old drinking age
law. That study looked at statistics from
nine states which raised their drinking
ages, and found a 28% reduction in
single- vehicle, nighttime crashes (those
most associated with alcohol). But the
survey found only an 11% reduction in
overall crashes — a percentage statisti-
cians say could be accounted for by
chance variation. As Hingson puts it:
"They have 'suggestive data' but not
'conclusive evidence."
The Smith-Hingson study included an
opinion survey as well, and from the
answers to those questions, they con-
clude that attacking teenage drunk driv-
ing through such punitive legislation may
simply foster cynicism toward the legisla-
tive process and a disregard of law en-
forcement. At best, raising the drinking
age to 21 would reduce fatal traffic
crashes by 2%, or 1.500 lives a year.
Ironically, solid data exists to prove
that mandatory seat-belt and airbag laws,
which Congress has deferred until 1989,
would reduce fatalities 15% to 30% or a
minimum of 15,000 to 20,000 lives.
Also, says Hingson, passive restraints do
not require enforcement to be effective
as do both higher-drinking-age and DWI
laws.

Oh, to be Wined & Dined . . .
At the DVC Cafeteria!
Well, it's almost hard to believe, isn't
it? On November l5, several members
of Student Government, the Ram Pages
editors, and administration were treated
to a superb meal at the VIP dinner. This
event is produced by the M.W. Wood
Company, the company that handles
our food service, to provide students and
administration with some knowledge of
our food service.
Our evening began with sparkling
cider, old-fashioned lemonade, and
some out-of-this-world appetizers such
as barbecued oysters and herbed chicken
and bacon. Oysters in the cafeteria? —
you bet, and they were delicious! We
then proceeded to our tables where we
were shown a video tape on soups. Our
theme for the evening was "Great Soups,
Great Food, An American Tradition,"
and everyone learned how to make
soup. In fact, every table made a dif-
ferent soup and everyone received a
sample of each soup. The four soups
that we made were Nantucket scallop
chowder, vegetable beef soup, country
cheddar soup, and last but not lea t. Dr.
Feldstein's favorite, chilled cherry soup.
This was just the beginning of our meal.
When our dinner plates were brought
out, what was on the plate was unbeliev-
able. We were served a country baked
potato which was cut into a spiral,
garden patch vegetables (a baked tomato
stuffed with broccoli and cauliflower),
and finally a thick, juicy piece of char-
broiled tenderloin steak which could cut
easily with a DVC table knife. Yummm*-
delicious! To top all of this off, we finr
ished with homemade vanilla ice cream
and fresh apple tart.
The entire meal was delectable and a
good time was had by all in attendance.
Everyone learned a lot about M.W.
Wood and ate enough for a couple
meals. Thanks M.W. Wood and Mr.
Moyer for great food and a good time. .
Piano Recital
On Wednesday, November 14 Asso-
ciate Professor Shirley Batchelor. Trenton
State College, performed for the music
appreciation class during the third period.
These are some comments written by the
students in the class. "Shirley Batchelor
entertained us with a memorable exhibi-
tion on the piano. Sometimes she played
soft music and at other times her music
was at a faster beat and you could kind of
sing to it. She played selections by Bach.
Brahms, and Mendelssohn — the theme
being centered around a fantasy. At
times the class listened with great atten-
tion because her music was so good and
various in selection. Mrs. Batchelor is
indeed an expert in her field." (Bob
D'Ginto) "Her performance was to be
commended greatly — she played as if
the composers themselves were actually
playing the pieces. The live performance
greatly clarified the composers' types of
music and gave a better understanding of
what the composers were trying to com-
municate." (Rodnei; Good) "Mrs. Batch-
elor broke down the parts of the music
and showed us how they were formed
and them put together to make the piece
what it is today." (Daue Dallmer) "Watch-
ing her perform in class, showed me how
much talent it takes to perform the way
she did." (Mike O'Hanlon) These are
only a few of the comments of the class
which expresses our appreciation to
Mrs. Batchelor for a beautiful lecture/
demonstration.

Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
I'm responding to the Dear Editor letter
that was printed in the November 16th
issue, if it was referring to me, which I
think it was, I think it was very unneces-
seiry and made no sense to any of the
subjects that had been written, saying it
was meaningless.
First of all my letters were all directed
to the entire student body for the actions
of a few of them. All the letters 1 have
written have been of much needed im-
provements and have all the backing up
they need. 1 would like to see other stu-
dents write letters of concern and see if
they have the guts to sign such a letter,
not like the person who wrote that letter.
If 1 needed a pat on the back or recogni-
tion 1 would not go and write good letters
of interest for it. I don't want anything but
better conditions on this campus. If we
had more concerned students on campus,
things might get done and it would make
it a better place to stay. Many students
come to me with certain things and if 1
hear enough of one problem I'll go and
write an editorial letter about it. We did
get more garbage cans, cleaner dorms,
and a little cleaner campus all because of
letters that have been written in the past.
Now if you feel I need a pat on the back,
come over and give me one. 1 feel if I'm
living here for eight months or so I feel I
should have the best for my money.
Second of all, everything said in those
letters is backed up. I'd like to see how
many people would and do just walk
over and around or kick trash. If you put
them where they belong in the first place
we wouldn't have this problem. 1 know
you don't throw garbage on your yard. I
know I don't, I only throw paper balls in
my kitchen where it is cleaned up, just
like our cafe.
All I'm looking for is a little more con-
sideration and help from our student
body as a whole to do things about these
problems on campus. All these problems
should be faced by student government
and solved. Writing letters and signing
them has proven to help things for the
better. There are so many people who
throw things in our cafe and when I toss
a few rolled napkins some person who
cares gets bent out of shape. This person
who cares doesn't care enough to sign
their name but care enough to write a let-
ter which has no point and nothing to
back it up. Until I see the point in that let-
ter I'm just letting it pass.
Thanks,
Alan Hamann

Oh God You Devil
by Rosemary Kluth
Oh God You Devil is definitely an ex-
perience. It gets its viewers involved,
they really care what's going to happen.
Oh God You Devil is worth seeing. It has
much more to say than the other Oh
God movies, its message is one you
won't forget.
Oh God You Devil was not what I ex-
pected at all. If you, like me go expecting
to be rolling in the aisles laughing, you'll
be disappointed; it was far too serious to
be hilarious. There were funny moments
though and George Burns plays a great
devil. The character is so well played that
you can really hate him and root for his
victims.
So go see Oh God You Devil, you'll
be glad you did.

GROW UP
OR GO ELSEWHERE!
TO THE BORED FEMALE STUDENT
in the center of the second row in the
Wednesday third period Music Apprecia-
tion class of November 14, to which the
public was invited — you may be surprised
to know there actually were some people
around you who wished to hear the reci-
tal without distractions, which you so
amply provided by adjusting the girl's
sweater in front of you, constantly bop-
ping up and down (not even in time with
Bach, Brahms, or Mendelssohn), and
continually crinkling your empty candy
wrapper after removing its contents. The
guys in your class at least had the courtesy
to keep their hats off this year during the
performance and (with one exception)
did not come traipsing in 5-10-15 min-
utes late and rudely walking in front of
the pianist, unlike last year's perfor-
mance. A little suggestion: GROW UP
OR GO ELSEWHERE.
Disconcerted Concertgoer
New Library Catalog
The card catalog in the Joseph Kraus-
kopf Memorial Library has a new look.
After five weeks of work by library per-
sonnel and student aides, the "Catalog in
Transition" signs have come down and
the restructured catalog is ready to use
The catalog has been divided so that
there is one catalog for subject heading
entries and one for authors and titles.
Students using the catalog are very
often searching by subject headings
With the reorganization this type of search
is less confusing because there are no in-
tervening author or title entries to inter-
rupt the alphabetical flow of subject
headings. And if a person is looking for a
specific title or author, the new arrange-
ment enables that person to locate the in-
formation faster and more easily because
he doesn't have to plow through all the
subject headings to find the information .
The drawers containing subject entries
have yellow guide labels while those with
author and title entries have white label.
Labeling of Campus Trees
Delaware Valley College has not had
a comprehensive tree labeling since its
beginning, but now, under the guidance
of the Ornamental Horticulture Depart-
ment Chairman, Dr. John Martin, the
Scene is changing. Within the last six
months. Mr. Frederick Ray has been se-
lected to coordinate the campus and
labeling.
Mr. Ray has chosen to use labeling sys-
tem is based on educational and record
needs. Each label has the botanical com-
mon, and family names, and the place of
origin. Further information given in the
remarks section may include who the gift
was given by, parentage (hybrid origin),
or the hybridizer (Gabel Hybrid Rhodo-
dendron). Finally, there is the accession
number for record keeping. This lets one
know what year the tree was planted and
in what order, so as to identify the plant
in the record keeping system. For exam-
ple. 84-060; this shrub was planted or
obtained in 1984 and was probably re-
ceived in January since it has a low num-
ber of 60. There may have been another
purchase of a similar plant in July, but
that would have a number probably in
the three hundred area. Exact records of
plants planted before the fall of 1981 are
not easy to verifv: therefore, plants planted
before that dare will not be given an ac-
cession number, and even those will be
approximate
Each labe' is attached to the plant on
the sid«; nv^st easily observed along a
path If thery is no obvious point of orien-
tation, such as in a field, the label will be
placed on the north side of the plant
The labels are attached to each plant by a
plastic coated copper wire that will be
checked pen(xiically so it does not becomi^
embedded in the branch. On trees that
have no lower branching, labels will he
wired to stainless steel or coated screws
that will be backed out of the trees on a
schedule. This will prevent the bark from
enveloping the label
The addressograph machine used
painted aluminum blanks, the exact size
of a Sears credit card. Each label is
stamped out by pulling the level mechani-
cally: therefore^ each label may take sev-
eral minutes to make. The cost of each
label is about a dollar by the time it ap-
pears on a tree This theoretical cost is
based on the cost of the blank, wire,
screws if needed, and staff time.
The labels are color coded. At the pres-
ent time, there are only two colors,
orange, the color the Morris Arboretum
uses, for trees and shrubs: and brown for
herbaceous plants. The orange color was
chosen because it can be readily seen a
tree or hidden in the growth of a shrub. It
was decided that orange was too bright
for herbaceous plants, whose foliage
may die to the ground each winter and
look like a sea of bright color; therefore,
an innocuous brown was chosen.
The labeling of the trees was done for
many reasons. Among those reasons are:
to bring the college up to the standards
seen at other colleges that teach horticul-
ture, and even some that don't, i.e. Prince-
ton University and Swarthmore College;
to aid students in the plant identification
courses outside of the Ornamental Hor-
ticulture department, such as Biology.
Botany. Taxonomy. Dendrology, and
Silviculture. The more obvious students
to benefit would be the ones in the Or-
namental Horticulture department taking
basic and advanced woody plant identifi-
cation, and the herbaceous plant identi-
fication course, which includes annuals,
perennials, and bulbs. In addition to ben-
efitting several departments of the college,
the labeling adds credibility to our pro-
gram when professionals visit the college
while attending meetings. Prospective
students and their parents will see that
we are serious about our commitment to
our horticulture programs. Garden clubs
and nature oriented groups, as well as
townspeople and visitors to the college,
will see we are educating them through
self-service informative labels.
C.B. WEST:
Number One Team
in the State
by Duke Blessing
On Thanksgiving Day, Central Bucks
West of Doylestown finished their season*
a perfect 10-0-0 with a 28-0 whitewash
of their crosstown rival, Central Bucks
East.
Over 13,000 people jammed into

rivalry, one of the best in the state.
The Bucks wound up scoring 317
points (31.7 average) and giving up only
21 points (2.1 average) in a rebuilding
year — not too bad!

BOBBY CLARKE:
A Tribute to a Hockey
and Philadelphia Legend
By Duke Blessing
As a sports fanatic, especially where
Philadelphia teams arc involved, I will
• never forget Thursday evening, November
15, 1984. But it did not take a fellow fa-
natic to realize that this night was going
to be more special than most and that it
was going to be the type of evening that
would be talked about for years and
passed throughout generations.
What was surprising dealt with the
quality of the overall production — a
stellar performance by the entire Flyer
organization.
In a tear-jerking, heart-throbbing,
proud-to-be-a-Philadelphian send-off.
Bobby Clarke Night touched every person
both at the Spectrum and those in the
television audience.
More moving than "Brian's Song" and
"Something for Joey" and as monumental
as the Phillies and Sixers World Cham-
pionships. Bobby Clarke Night should be
buried in a sports time capsule for future
generations to enjoy.
The voice of the Flyers, Gene Hart,
opened the ceremony which started with
a video sequence that showed Clarke as
a child and followed him through two
Stanley Cup Championships, his appear- *
ance on Team Canada vs. the Soviets
and film clips of his 300th goal and
l.OOCXh point. ;,
The most spine-chilling point of tflie
video (shown by giant television screens
on each side of the center-ice scoreboard)
was the replay of Clarke's overtime goal
in Game 2 of the 1974 finals with the
Boston Bruins, and his trip around the
Spectrum that year with the Stanley Cup
over his head.
If not stopped by Gene Hart after the
five-minute mark, the eardrum-ringing
standing ovation may have lasted until
New Year's Eve!
The Flyers organization unveiled a sur-
prise gift — "The Bobby Clarke Trophy"
— a bronze sculpture of Clarke's mem-
orable leap after scoring the overtime
go^l in the 1974 Stanley Cup finals with
the Boston Bruins. The presented gifts to
Clarke's entire family and then turned it
over to Clarkey for the ending.
The emotional Clarke, eyes filled with
tears, thanked his family. Flyers owner
Ed Snider, former general manager Keith
Allen, and the Philadelphia fans for their
support.
in the last segment of the production.
Hart asked the fans to join Kate Smith in
the singing of the Flyers song — "God
Bless America."
It was at this point that I decided to
watch the ending in privacy (like the part
of the movie where Gale Sayers tells his
fellow teammates that Brian Piccolo is
dying or when Johnny Cap dedicates
the Heisman to his dying brother Joey.
A video of Kate Smith's final appear-
ance, before a Flyers' playoff game, was
flashed on the screen and the fans joined
in a nostalgic and teary rendition of the
team's famous good-luck song. ;
On this memorable evening, the city
of boobirds became the city of Brotherly
Love, pouring out its heart to an athlete
who never gave less than his best.
Philadelphia may have the world's
most demanding sports fans, but when
inspired by the likes of a Bobby Clarke,
; they are also the world's greatest and
" most appreciative — it make me proud
to be one!
If Bobby Clarke does the job of general
, manager with the guts and determination
of his days as a player, the rest of the
league should be warned — The Legend
of Philadelphia Lives On!
Olympians Score Sweep
in Professional Debuts
. By Duke Blessing
In what was being promoted pnmaHy
as Mark Breland's show, two of his fellow
Olympians upstaged him as all six Olym-
pic medalists on the card were victorious
In the professional debuts at Madison
Square Garden:;^ ^
Meldrick Taylor, of Philadelphia, scored -
a frist-round technical knockout over
Luke Lecce (14-3-1). Taylor displayed
excellent hand speed and consistently
threw jabs into Lccce's head and ribs.
Taylor wound up taking Lecce out on a
shot to the abdomen.
Another lightweight. Pernell Whitaker
handed Farrain Comeaux his first loss in
ten fights as he struck with numerous
lefts to the head of Comeaux and pound-
ed him into submission as the fight ended
at 2:50 of the second round.
Breland won a six-round decision
against stubborn Dwight Williams (7-2).
Breland could not land a clean punch on
Williams who kept his gloves over his
face most of the fight but was battered
with a barrage of body punches. .
Light heavyweight Virgil Hill scored a
second-round technical knockout against
Arthur Wright (2-2) . A left hook to the
face was the finishing touch.
Light heavyweight Evander "I could
not hear the ref" Holyfield scored a lop-
sided six-round decision against Phila-
delphia's Clark Byarm (9-2-2). Holyfield
dominated throughout the fight with
hand rights and left hooks but could not
drop Byarm.
Philadelphia's Tyrell Biggs won his
heavyweight bout against Mike "You'll
get your chance" Evans in a six-round
decision. Biggs scored well with the jab
but. as he did in Los Angeles, showed lit-
tle power for a heavyweight.
Congratulations to New Jersey-based
promoter Lou Duva and his family for an
entertaining evening!

The Editors' Desk:
Following editorial policy to the fullest
extent, it has been decided that the fol-
lowing "Letters to the Editors" will be the
last letters printed for all parties involved.
We feel that enough has been publicly
stated and it is now a personal problem
among the people at hand.
We would like to thank you for the let-
ters that were submitted as they posedl
great enjoyment for many people.
We encourage continued student par-
ticipation in editorials and anything else.
that you would like to get involved with
concerning Raw Pages. .. .
Thank \jou.

Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
Maybe I should say dear Alan. The
point of my last letter was that by signing
your name to your letters you have singled
yourself out . The reason I wrote my letter
was simply to inform you that you should
be more aware of your actions. Your let-
ters of past have been very good and I
too have noticed some well-needed
changes which your letters may have,
helped to bring about. But. by throwing
things in the cafe, not only have you
lowered yourself to the level of all the.
other people that do the same but you'
have offended me and others like me
and in my mind your words of wisdom
lose all meaning. How can someone
care some of the time and not all of the
time? So. maybe there are people who
clean up the cafe, but what gives you the
right to make their job more difficult than
it already is?
1 have not signed letters that 1 have
written in the past because 1 do not feel
that I am speaking only for myself. I also
feel that a letter does not need to have a
name attached to it in order for its mes-
sage to be effectively relayed . I refer to a
letter written in the October 12 issue
which I signed "an embarrassed athlete."
The letter was very well received and
everyone 1 spoke to felt at least as strongly
about the topic as I did. Not only that,
but something was done about it.
Whether or not I sign my name has
nothing to do with how much I care.
And, if my letter "had no point" then
why did it upset you so? Not only did it
have a point but I believe that it accom-
plished what it was intended to accom-
plish. The next time you go to throw
something in the cafe, I feel certain that
you will think twice before throwing it or
at least consider picking it up after you've
thrown it.
Like you. I do pick up trash when I
pass it and 1 thank you for making the
walk to the nearest trash can shorter
You have written letters about things that
bother you. and trash and the appear
ance of our "home" is a concern to manv
of us. Not only is the cafe part of our
campus but we must eat there Yes. it is
cleaned daily, but so are our dorms.
Does that make it alright for us to throw
trash in the halls without picking it up — 1
don't think so! 1 do not feel as though it
takes "guts" to sign a letter. As 1 stated
above, my past letters have not been
signed because 1 felt that the concerns
expressed were shared by many.
RAM PAGES
EDITORIAL POLICY
L Ram Pages reserves the right to
make any editorial changes in all
material submitted for publication.
2. Only signed material will be con*
sidered for publication. Signatures
will be withheld upon request.
,3. Any material which is considered by
the student editor(s) or faculty advisor
to be potentially libelous will be inves-
tigated and documented before con-
sideration for publication.
4. The writers of material in question
: must certify sincerity of purpose and
. ,, correctness of facts to the best of their
knowledge.
5. The person (s) named or implied in
the controversial material shall be in-
formed of any article before publica-
tion and shall be given the opportuni-
ty to respond .
I'm not saying that you are any worse
than anyone else that throws stuff in the
cafe. That is why 1 didn't write your
name in my letter. 1 did not see the need
of singling you out. I knew that you
would get the message and just wanted
to let you know that by signing your
name to your letters about "cleaning up
our home" you have singled yourself out
and should set a good example at all
times. , :_'-' .■..." .'<^U- ^''f ■ ^
While I'm writing, I'd like to thank all
those involved in decorating the cafe this
year. I've been here for four years now
and must admit that this year must be
one of the best. Good job!

Dear Editors,
In reply to your last letter in Ram
Pages. 1 would like to direct this letter to
Alan Hamann. First of all Alan, the good
that reflects on this campus is not all in
response from your editorial letters.
Other students care also. Just because
they don't write overrated, egotistical let-
ters to the editor does not mean they
care any less. Not everyone does things
to demand or expect a "pat on the
back " Second, Alan, on various occa-
sions, myself, as well as others, have
seen other than innocent napkin balls fly
from your hands across the dining hall.
You know, people wouldn't react with
such vehemence towards youi" letters if
you would just face up to your truths and
get off your pedestal.
Thanks,
Tish Duffy
Dear Editors,
I believe the other editorials that were
pririted were OK and that's why I let
them print them, to make them happy.
But I still can't see the point to a harmless
white, rolled up piece of paper that is
tossed to a friend and no one else. This is
nothing compared to the trays of trash
left on the table. So T.I. and T.D. if you
want you can keep the editorial battle go-
ing, but over a rolled up napkin ball I see
no point.
Thanks,
Alan Hamann

and performed "Time After Time" with
Cyndi Lauper?" Answer in next week's
Ram Pages.
The ULTIMATE Challenge
Met by Class of '86!!!
Congratulations to the Class of 1986
who successfully met The Ultimate
Challenge on Wednesday, November
28, 1984. The faculty, staff, and admini-
stration dared any class to donate more
pints of blood than they as DVC hosted
its semi-annual Red Cross Blood Drive;
Unfortunately, and to our great dismay,
all were slaughtered by the junior class
who bled a whopping 46 pints! For meet-
V ing the challenge, the treasury of the
Class of '86 will receive $92.00 as a gift
.. from the Administration (that's $2.00 per
■ pint contributed).
The final results are as .follows:
1st Place Class of '86 . ; ' 46 pints
2nd Place Class of '88 v. 40 pints
3rd Place Class of '87 • 37 pints
. 4th Place Class of '85 34 pints
Last Place Fac. Staff. Adm. 27 pints
' , ^ Grand Total 184 pints
■ Even though the red-blooded Class of
'86 stole the show, we still fell short of
our overall college goal of 200 pints. But
we will not be daunted in our efforts to
win! Another challenge will be issued for
the spring blood drive — this time based
on the highest percentage of each group
donating blood. We of the faculty, staff,
and administration feel that this is a much
fairer way of computing the winner,
since in terms of percentage, we would
have come in second place behind the
! Class of '86 with 15% of us donating
blood! (17% of the junior class donated.
- still keeping them in the Winner's Circle
by all accounts.) • .•
So bleeders . . . prepare for The Ulti-
mate Challenge II! We want a rematch
'; . _ vve will not give up so easily next time.

Aggies Capture Second Consecutive
Tournament Ctiampionship
By Duke Blessing
Just like they did in last year's first Big
Brothers of Bucks County Tip-Off Tour-
nament, the Delaware Valley College
men's basketball team had the good for-
tune of drawing weak sister Beaver Col-
lege as their first round opponent.
The Aggies, who led by 10 points after
the first half, switched into high gear and
swallowed Beaver, 94-62.
Dodd "Beast of the East" Walker led
the team in scoring with 20 points and
was also the Aggies leading rebounder
with 14 boards.
Other double-figure scorers included
Darin "Pumpkin" Poindcxter with 14
points (including a few rim-crushing slam
dunks) and Chris Wilson with 10 points.
The Aggies thus moved into the final
game against Cabrini College. Cabrini
defeated Spring Garden College, 87-75.
jl^hind All- American John McQueen's
21 points in the night's first game.
In the final game, which resembled last
year's game throughout. Cabrini got off
to a quick start and it looked as though
their experience (four seniors and three
juniors) would wear down the inexperi-
enced Aggies (15 freshmen, one sopho-
more). , ^ , .:
Cabrini jumped out to an 8-2lcatf as
the Aggies looked slightly jittery. The Ag-
gies hung tough and took their first lead
of the game at 23-22, on a Chris Wilson
20-footer. , ;— / .■'■ -^ * ^^^
The Aggies locked strong in the final
minutes of the first half and went into in-
termission with a 42-37 lead.
. Del Val started the second half just like
they did the first half and suddenly trailed.
47-46.
With nine minutes remaining. Cabrini
held a 56-50 lead and started to play
somewhat conservatively (much too ear-
ly in the half to play that way).
Eric Ford cut the lead to 56-52 with a
15-foot jumper but for the next four min-
utes. Cabrini played slow-down and kept
a five point lead.
Cabrini tied the game in the final 90
seconds but that was as far as they would
get. ■^::;:-K^_::&.-
Big Bob Ort hit both ends of a one-
and-one to give the* Aggies a 73-69 lead
but John McQueen closed the gap with a
pair of free throws with eight seconds
remaining.
SPORTS EDITORIAL:
By Duke Blessing
It has recently been brought to my at-
tention that members of the college com-
munity have been lodging complaints
about the sports section of Ram Pages.
In defense of myself. I would like to ex-
plain my stance.
First of all. I comprise the entire staff.
Nobody has offered their assistance (ex-
cept for Joe Ferry) so nobody has the
right to complain.
During weeks when the Del Val sports
scene is slow. I feel that it is appropriate
to analyze the world of sports on both the
bcal level (C.B. West football articles)
and the national level. Bobby Clarke was
a vital part of the city located only a half-
hour from our campus. If the planting of
a shrub on campus is newsworthy, than
the retiring of a local hockey legend is
more than that.
1 do appreciate people taking time to
make comments because it proves the
paper is being read .
I am in the process of developing new
ideas for the second semester. If anybody
has any suggestions for special columns
or anything dealing with sports, drop a
line in box ^988 or box *515. or see one
of the Ram Pages editors. Thank you.
Yours in Sports.
Duke Blessing
Marvin "Glue" Emerson hit the first
end of a one-and-one to give the Aggies
a 74-71 lead and with six seconds left,
Chris Wilson rebounded a McQueen
miss and was fouled.
Wilson hit both free throws and the
rest was history as the Aggies finished
Cabrini. 76-71.
Chris Wilson led the Aggies with 20
points and was followed by Darin Poin-
dexter's 17 points and Dodd Walker's 14
points.
Spring Garden captured third place by
defeating Beaver. 86-72, behind Lee
Radick's 21 points and also Dave Duda's
20 points.
The All-Tournament Team was as
follows:
Most Valuable Player
Del Val's Chris Wilson (15.0 a vg.)
Del Val's Eric Ford (9,5 avg.)
Cabrini's John McQueen (16.5 avg.) ^ ■
Beaver's Marty Palmer (18.5 avg.)
Spring Garden's Lee Radick (17.5 avg.)
My special awards are as follows:
Sixth Man Award — The Aggie fans
(including yours truly) who jeered and
abused certain Cabrini players into in-
visibility.
Bruise Brothers Award — Poindexter
(15.5 avg.) and Walker (17.0 avg). I
realize that you must balance things out
but how did Palmer and Radick make
all-tournament over these two?
In Your Jock Award — Marvin Emer-
son for shutting down (and shutting up)
John McQueen, an All-American.
Cry Baby Award — Cabrini head coach
John Dzik (for the second consecutive
year) for his childish actions after losing.
Go home Johnny, your mommy still
loves you!
; 1 would personally like to take the time
to thank the organizers of the tournament
and hope it continues for years to cornel
CONGRATULATIONS
To The Galludet
Tournament Champs!
By Duke Blessing
While the rest of the student body was
at home sleeping and burping off the ef-
fects of a gigantic Thanksgiving Day meal,
the women's basketball team was travel-
ing to Washington to take place in the
Galludet College Tournament.
The team did Del Val proud as they
won both games (3-0 record) and cap-
tured the trophy.
In the first game, against the host
school, the Aggies pulled out a 67-63
victory. At halftime. the Aggies led by
one at 29-28.
Mary Jo Bush, Kim Frey. and Darcell
Estep (off the bench) each scored 14
points and Aimee Trunell added 9 points
to lead the balanced Del Val scoring at-
tack.
Although this first tournament game
victory was nice, the championship was
just one win away.
Coach Pento's troops took on York
College and through good shooting and
rebounding held a 44-34 halftime lead
During the second half, the Aggies hot
shooting continued and they captured
the championship with a 86-66 victory.
Kim Frey had a superb game with 27
points, and tournament (20.5 avg).
Darcell Estep added 18 points in the final
(16.0 tournament avg.) and Doris McNeil
chipped in 11 points. Aimee Trunell
scored 10 points to round out the double
figure scores. Mary Jo Bush averaged 1 1
points for the tournament.
Gary's gang is now 3-0 on the season
and by the looks of things, he definitely
has them headed towards the right
direction!
AGGIES
Defeat Cedar Crest
To End 25-Gaine Drought
By Duke Blessing
It started during the last six games of
the 1982-1983 season. It continued
through the entire nineteen games of the
1983-1984 season. It, refers to the
25-game losing streak suffered by the
Delaware Valley College women's basket-
ball team.
The 1984-1985 women's team put all
that in the past and decided to change
the fortunes of that miserable past in a
hurry — and they did.
The Aggies traveled to Allentown for a
game with Cedar Crest College and
brought back to Del Val what the school
had, not seen in quite a while — a victory,
by the score of 76-53.
First-year head coach Gary Pento's
team was led by Marcey Carroll with 15
points and 9 rebounds. Mary Jo Bush
and Darcell "Fifi" Estep added 14 points
each and Aimee "not Amy" Trunell had
10 points.
Not that predictions can be made from
one game, but this year's team is much
improved over last year's team and more
victories should be expected as the season
gets under way.
From the Sports Editor
Next week's issue is the last of the
semester. It will contain interviews with
basketball coaches Les Lombardi and
Gary Pento. the Aggies first wrestling
inatch and the first women's indoor track
Pneet of the season.
■ If anybody is interested in writing for
ftie paper next semester put a note in
box *988 or *515, I want to wish
everybody good luck in finals! '
Del Val Women
Make It Four Straight
By Duke Blessing
The Delaware Valley College women's
basketball team defeated Wilkes College.
69-52. to up their overall record to 4-0.
The Aggies were down 12-4 in the
early stages of the first half, but as has
been the case so far this year, they
entered halftime with a 3-point lead at
27-24.
In the second half, the bench got into
the act as ten players finished in the scor-
ing column.
A pressing defense and a tenacious
zone eventually wore down Wilkes as the
Aggies breezed. 69-v52. extending their
winning streak to four.
Led by Mary Jo Bush ( 10- 13 from the
floor) and her 20 points, the Aggies also
got 10 points from Darcell Estep and
strong rebounding efforts from Marcey
Carroll and Kim Frey.
The team closes out this semester's
schedule with home games Monday.
December 10 vs. Moravian and Wednes-
day. December 12 vs. Scranton. .Both
games are scheduled to start at 7:00
p.m. Come on out and support the girls!

Ellzabethtown Crushes
Del Val 97-65
By Duke Blessing
The Aggies saw their record drop to
2-2 as Ellzabethtown College finished
only three points shy of the century mark
as they whipped on Del Val, 97-65.
With nine minutes left in the first half,
the Aggies only trailed by six points at
26-20. but Ellzabethtown hit for 16 un-
answered points enroute to a 46-24 half-
time lead.
Things did not get any better during
the second half as Elizabethtown's sub-
stitutes kept the torrid shooting and scor-
ing pace up and they wound up leaving
Del Val with a 97-65 victory.
The lone bright spot for the Aggies
was Darin Poindexter who shot 12 for 16
from the floor and finished with a game
high of 25 points.
The Aggies finish out the 1984 part of
their schedule tomorrow afternoon as
they travel to New Jersey to take on
Drew University Game time is 2:00
p.m. Good luck, guys!
Aggies Defeated
By Wilkes, 8976
By Duke Blessing
;■ Winning the tournament was a nice
^complishment for the young Aggies
Jkit the past is over and now is the time
#>at the men's basketball team will get to
test how good it really is against confer-
ence rivals.
Del Val traveled to Wilkes last Thurs-
day with the intention of showing the
league that although they are extremely
young and inexperienced, hustle and
determination can account for a lot of
points — and wins.
In a game that the Aggies had every
right to win, poor shooting was their
"|k)wnfall as they went down to defeat.
89-76.
, John Boone led the way for the Aggies
with 13 points. Marvin Emerson, Erik
Ford, and Derrick McCarter all had 12
points for Del Val.

Wait Until Dark
by Dr. James E. Miller
The DVC Players opened their third
season last weekend with three captivat-
ing performances of the modern thriller
Wait Until Dark.
The simple kitchen -darkroom set was
especially suitable for the Student Cen-
ter's limited theatrical facilities, for all of
the off-stage footsteps and creaking stairs
that have been so distracting in other
productions became part of the action
and suspense in this one. The compli-
cated goings-on involve a group of three
paroled criminals searching around the
kitchen for a heroin-stuffed doll; they
find a body instead.
The head hoodlum, played with easy
sleaze and slipperiness by Tim Ireland, is
clearly clever at manipulating his prin-
cipal victim, an equally clever blind lady
played by Carolyn Brodhag. Miss Brod-
hag's energetic performances have be-
come a DVC tradition. To be convincing
in this role she had to attract audience
sympathy from the outset and she did
this by replacing her usual boldness and
confidence with an appropriately pitiable
vulnerability and restraint.
, The theatrical gimmick of this shrewdly
constructed play involves the fact that
the audience watching all the action
could see what is going on while know-
ing at the same time that the heroine
could not. The Friday night audience
responded with enthusiasm to the il-
lusory gimmick and empathized with the
terror in the final scenes, occurring in a
total darkness and putting the blind lady
at a slight advantage over her tormenters.
. The harsh shadows, photographic red
lights, matches lit in the dark, light sneak-
ing in through the crack under the door,
and all the other lighting effects con-
tributed to the suspense. ' '
The supporting cast of cops, hoods,
and a husband, was convincing. Wendy
Unger. playing a bratty twelve-year-old
kid. turned in a notable performance.
Wait Until Dark was adeptly directed
by David Harris. Using total darkness,
then, the DVC Players have once again
brightened the stage.
GLOWATSKI NAMED TO
ALLMAC FOOTBALL TEAM
by Joe Ferry
Dan Glowatski. a senior split end from
Mt. Carmel. Pennsylvania, was named
to the All-Middle Atlantic Conference
football team as selected by conference
coaches.
Glowatski (6-2. 190 pounds) was the
only Aggie selected for the first team. Of-
fensive linemen Joe Rada and John
Mazzola, running back Nick Russo. and
defensive back Joe Cox were named to
the Honorable Mention team.
Glowatski caught 53 passes for 867
yards this year, both single-season
records. He finished his career with 154
catches for 2,645 yards, both career
records.
Glowatski, a Business Administration
major, has been All-MAC for the past
three seasons and All-ECAC for the past
two years. Last season. Glowatski was
an Associated Press Little All-America
selection and a Pizza Hut Division III All-
American choice.
Russo, a senior from Archbishop Ryan
High School, finished the 1984 season
with 692 yards on 197 carries (3.5 aver-
age) and scored seven touchdowns.
Russo, the MAC co-Player of the Year in
1982. finished his career with 2,153
yards, just 158 yards short of Eric
Reynolds' all-time rushing record
(2,311).
Cox, a junior from Milleville High, had
33 first hits, 30 assisted tackles, one in-
terception, a fumble recovery, and two
tipped passes.
Rada, a senior from Middletown
South High, was a three-year starter for
the Aggies. Mazzola, a junior from Triton
Regional, was named to the All-MAC
team for the first time.
And the band plays on . . .
Christmas Concert.
Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
Once again the DVC Players put on a
spectacular performance and also, once
again, no one came to see it! I am so sick
of hearing everyone complain that there
is nothing to do on weekends. During
the three performances, only 92 people
total came to see the show; six of which
were faculty and administrators, at tops
25 were students, and the rest were
relatives and people from Doylestown.
I have heard many complaints about
the price. I realize $2.50 is a lot to ask,
but the club is relatively new and we
must buy a lot of our materials as op-
posed to reusing them. That takes care
of the students. I agree the price was too
high. On the other hand, faculty were
charged a very nominal fee — NOTH-
ING! I'm sure many of the faculty had at
least one of the evenings free.
As actresses and actors, it is very
discouraging to study and rehearse for
two months (every night of the week and
eight hours a day on weekends) and to
walk out on stage on opening night and
have a grand total of 15 people staring
back at us. I don't think people realize
how much time goes into a play, and it
was all for nothing. 1 realize people do
like to get away from the school, and that
includes faculty, but we did give a Thurs-
day night performance.
If members of this college could attend
at least one performance, they may real-
ize that their class isn't the only thing that
is occupying our time. I realize that the
apathy at this school is very bad. with
students as well as faculty, and it isn't
only our club. But I don't want to hear it
again — there is a lot to do on this cam-
pus. Just go out and find it. I also want to
thank the faculty and students who did
come, especially Dr. Miller.
Thanks.

THREE AGGIES NAMED TO
ECAC ALL-STAR TEAM
by Joe Ferry
Dan Glowatski, Joe Rada. and Brian
Breneman were named to the ECAC
Division III South All-Star team chosen
by the region's 15 coaches.
Glowatski. who was previously named
to the All-Middle Atlantic Conference
team, is a senior split end from Mt.
Carmel, Pennsylvania. Glowatski. who
set single-season and career records for
most receptions and most yards receiv-
ing, has been named All-ECAC for three
straight years. In 1984 Glowatski caught
53 passes for 867 yards. He finished his
career with 154 catches for 2.645 yards.
Rada, a senior from Middletown
South High, was a three-year starter for
the Aggies. He previously had been
named to the All-MAC Honorable Men-
tion team at offensive guard .
Breneman. a junior tight end from
Spring Grove High, enjoyed his best
season as a college player. He caught 35
passes for 526 yards and four touch -
dowjis this past season.
"I'm pleased that the other coaches in
the region saw fit to honor these three
players," said Aggies head coach Al
Wilson. "They certainly worked hard for
their accomplishments during the sea-
son. We'll miss Glowatski and Rada next
year but having a fine player like Brian
Breneman back will make it a smoother
transition."
The Aggies posted a 5-5 record in
1984.
Christmas
Let the Music be Heard!
by ED. Wengryn
On Sunday, December 9, the DVC
Choral and Band put on their annual
Christmas Dinner and Concert. The food
and entertainment were exceptional.
The Choral was the first major per-
former of the night giving a half hour
worth of Christmas carols. The Band fol-
lowed with its production numbers. The
groups should be congratulated for their
excellent performances. If anything was
missing it could be called lack of involve-
ment by students. Thanks to Mrs. Roberts
and Mr. Durner for their time and dedi-
cation in putting together the show and
thanks to Mr. Moyer and M.W. Wood
and staff for an excellent dinner.
Wait Until Dark
Wait Until Dark
by ED. Wengryn
The DVC Players' production of Wait
Until Dark can be called a success. The
story is about a search for a doll contain-
ing two million in drugs (heroin at its
best). The show opens with two ex-cons
played by Bruce Honzicker and Bruce
Baily meeting a man called Mr. Roat,
played by Tim Ireland, the men set up a
scheme to get the doll back from a blind
lady played by Carolyn Brodhag. As the
play progresses and the scheme of the
men goes into action, we meet an in-
quisitive 12-year-old played by Wendy
Unger. It is late in the show that we
discover the little girl was the one who
had the doll as she returns it to the blind
lady. The final encounter between Mr.
Roat and the blind lady sets everyone on
the end of their seats.
The cast and crew did a wonderful job
and should be congratulated. Anyone in-
terested in participating in the spring pro-
duction should contact any of the Drama
Club members; once again, thanks for a
job well done and bringing theatre to
DVC.
ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS
by Kathy McNamara
Because of the irresponsibility of quite
a few students, a $25 fine has been im-
posed on all students leaving trays, glas-
ses, plates, utensils, napkins, etc. at
tables in the cafeteria. Any student who
witnesses such lack of manners is urged
to report names to Dean Tasker or Kathy
McNamara.
The mess in the cafeteria can get
cleaned up only by the involvement of
other students. Don't put the respon-
sibility on someone else.
ATTENTION SENIORS:
The last and final retakes of senior por-
traits will be taken on January 17. Sign-
ups will be during registration on January
14. There will be an additional cost of
$5. Sign-up times will be 12 and 4 p.m.
and for evening students from 6-7:30
p.m. Remember, this is your final chance!
Good Luck!

Kings Breezes by DVC
88 66
By Duke Blessing
The DVC men's basketball team lost
their third straight game since winning
the tournament and saw their league
record drop to 0-3 (2-3 overall) as Kings
College scored 54 second half points to
defeat the Aggies. 88-66.
Trailing only 34-31 at the half, the Ag-
gies defense was shredded underneath'
in the second half by Chris Feistl's 26
points and Ed Moyer's 19.
Derrick McCarter led the Aggies with
16 points while the Aliquippa Connec-
tion (Dodd Walker and Marvin Emerson)
scored 13 and 12 respectively.
Putting together two consistent halves
has been the problem lately and the team
needs a victory to get back the confi-
dence evident a few weeks ago.

DVC, 10284
by Duke Blessing
The good news — the Aggies played
Drew University to an 84-84 standstill for
the last 35 minutes of their MAC basket-
ball game last Saturday afternoon.
The bad news — basketball games are
40 minutes long and it was during the in-
itial five minutes where the Aggies lost
the ball game by getting behind Drew
18-0.
Adding up the good news and bad
news comes out to equal a 102-84 loss
ind a 1-4 record in the MAC standings
3-4 overall) .
Dodd Walker scored 22 points to lead
the Aggies in scoring.
The Aggies (3-4, 1-4) are now off until
next semester when they play Ursinus

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL:
1984-1985
by Duke Blessing
The following is an interview .with
Gary Pento, the new head coach of the
DVC women's basketball team.
Q Do you consider yourself as being in
an enviable position as the new head
coach of the DVC women's basketball
team? Since the program has not
been too successful in the past few
years, do you look at this situation ^s
a personal challenge, a spring board
to future endeavors, or is this more
like a take-it-as-it-comes and sec-
what-happens-next-year approach?
A I take it as a personal challenge in that
I am trying to take the girls to a cham-
pionship and turn the program around.
1 have always wanted to be a head
coach and Al Wilson gave me the
break 1 needed. What I am trying to
do is to stay with these girls for four
years and then try to move on from
there. It is a challenge with the intent
on building a winning program and to
better myself in hopes of someday
becoming a major college basketball
coach.
Q What is the difference between coach-
ing women and men? Have your phi-
losophies, both offensively and defen-
sively changed due to the obvious
physical capabilities?
A On defense, I try to have the women
pack it in because you don't have the
height that you do with men . For ex-
ample, in a 2-3 zone, i will not have
my back girl come out, my front girl
will chase, which thus creates better
rebounding. With men, because of
physical advantages, the back man
can come out of position and chase.
There is no real change as far as my
phibsophies are concerned, basket-
ball is basketball .
Q What was the key to winning the
Galludet Tournament?
A The key to winning the tournament
was our desire to bring home a trophy.
On the court, the key was our chang-
ing up of defenses, from man-to-man
to a full-court press to the 2-3 zone. I
thought Galludet was the best team in
the tournament. They had just lost to
Wagner by two points. Our philosophy
was to go out and play hard, play with
intensity and bring the trophy back.
Q With so many freshmen on the team,
was it important to explain to the girls
that the past misfortunes of the team
were just that, in the past, or did you
sit down anyway and talk things out
about the program and where it was
and could be?
A We looked at last year as being over
and done with, but we looked at the
0-19 record as something on which
we could improve greatly upon. We
have a lot of good freshmen, some
were captain of their high school
team. Mary Jo Bush averaged 25
points a game, was captain and made
the All- Johnstown team. Aimee
Trunell was All-Catholic and aver-
aged about 17 points a game. Doris
McNeill was All-Hammonton County
and scord 958 points in her career. I
did not really know until we took the
court just what we had. We are still far
away from being real good. There are
still a lot of fundamental things that we
are doing wrong.
Q What are your team goals going into
this season?
A To take the girls to the MAC's for the
first time, make the playoffs, and have
a solid winning record . 1 want the girls
to have a good time, basketball should
not be a chore, but I want to win. 1
told some people we were going to
win the Galludet Tournament and br-
ing back a trophy — and we did. Kim
Frey and Michele Heffner have a killer
instinct in them which is extending to
everyone else because they have lost
in the past and see the opportunity to
win.
Q Finally, give me a little background
about the players on your team — the
starters, bench, etc.
A You can actually say we have seven
starters in Aimee Trunell, Michele
Heffner, and Doris McNeill at guard.
Mary Jo Bush, Darcell Estep, and
Marcey Carroll at the forward position
and Kim Frey at center. Lisa Long
comes off the bench as a defen-
sive stopper. Anita Willis and Etta
Smith can come off the bench and
play guard. At the forward spot, we
can send in JoAnna Toenniesen,
Melanie Cassidy, and Grace Kasprzak.
I am having a tough time dividing up
playing time because everybody can
play.
AGGIE WOMEN PUSH
IT TO FIVE IN A ROW
by Duke Blessing
The DVC women's basketball team
upped their record to 5-0 with an 80-71
victory over Upsala College. The game

Conference schedule.
The Aggies went into halftime trailing
35-32, but came out shooting in the sec-
ond half, scoring 48 second half points to
seal the victory.
Kim Frey led all scorers with 24 points.
Darcell Estep threw in 19 points and
Marcey Carroll chipped in with 15
points.
WOMEN HOOPSTERS STILL
UNDEFEATED AFTER SIX
by Duke Blessing
Six games — six wins and no losses!
The DVC women's basketball team de-
feated Drew University, 74-58. to raise
their record to 6-0 (2-0 in the MAC).
With the win, Coach Gary Pento and
his troops have already recorded more
victories this season than in the previous
two years combined.
Marcey Carroll led the Aggies with 14
points, 10 rebounds, and five blocked
shots. Michele Heffner and Aimee
Trunell scored 12 points a piece and
Mary Jo Bush (back after an ankle injury)
collected 10 points. Darcell Estep was
the Aggies' leading rebounder, pulling
down 12 boards.
The team resumes its season next
semester with two home games: Satur-
day, January 12 vs. Allentown and
Tuesday, January 15 vs. Kings. Both
games are scheduled to start at 6 p.m.
PHILADELPHIA:
The Cit}; of Champions!
by Duke Blessing
It is in the statistics and standings.
Each year, Philadelphia has either the
highest or next to highest winning per-
centage in its combined records of sports
teams. It has been this way for almost a
decade and things look as if they are get-
ting even better for many more years to

Aggie Track Team Shines
At Lehigh Open
By Duke Blessing
The Aggies men's track team opened
the 1984-1985 indoor track season with
a solid showing at the Lehigh Open as
the team brought home a gold medal
and a new school record.
Brandon Newell (fellow C.B. East
grad) earned a gold for the Aggies as he
hit 47-3 in the triple-jump. Newell was
runner-up in the nation last year. In just
the first mgct of the season, Newell let-
tered the NCAA qualifying standard with
his jump.
Newell, the "sky and flight king," also
took third place in the long jump with a
22-6. Pennridge graduate Dave Bradley
placed sixth with a 20-1V4.
In other field events. Chris Buckley
placed fourth in the high jump at 6-6.
John Stella also placed fourth, in the
shot, with a throw of 45-8 V2. Carl Tarab-
bio got fifth place at 43-4^/4 and Steve
Liller placed ninth with a heave of
42-3V2.
Stella got an Aggie school record
(breaking his own) in the 35-pound
weight throw with a toss of 43-9V2.
In the track events, Chip Zerr finished,
ninth in the 600 with a time of 1:15.3.
Rob Benner ran a 4:37.99 mile and

WELCOME BACK!
According to the New Policy . . .
by Kathy McNamara
For sometime now, students and fac-
ulty alike have know that a positive atti-
tude about campus life has been lacking
It became very apparent this past fall that
questions were surfacing from various
faculty members regarding academics
and how they were being affected by
dormitory life. Also, there was a general
concern among faculty, administration,
and students about the destruction oc-
curring on campus and the inconsiderate
attitude of some students towards others.
In order to help alleviate these prob-
lems. p>ermission was given by President
Joshua Feldstein to have an ad hoc com-
mittee composed of both faculty and
students to study the existing social
atmosphere.
This committee was responsible for
making recommendations that could
possibly improve many of the problems
around campus. During the course of
research, the present student handbook
was studied to determine whether the
existing policies were satisfactory and. if
not. how they could be positively modi-
fied. Faculty and student committees
met separately, then jointly and present-
ed a list of recommendations to Presi-
dent Feldstein. These recommendations
addressed, in particular, the fact that stu-
dents of the College need to get to know
one another. This will, hopefully, create
an atmosphere of mutual respect.
The recommendations begin with
statements on students' rights and res-
ponsibilities. A major point is that res-
ponsibility for one's actions is placed
squarely on the individual.
A quiet-hour policy was developed to
enhance and improve dormitory condi-
tions to make the dorms conducive for
studying.
Caesar's Pub was permanently estab-
lished as a place where students can go
to relax and enjoy each other's com-
pany. Because of the small size of this
campus and the close interaction be-
tween teachers and students, Caesar's
Pub was also established to enhance
faculty and student relationships.
The College's policy on registered par-
ties was changed to encourage organiza-
tions to sponsor such events and to en-
courage resident students to remain on
campus during weekends.
In summary, the aim of the new social
policies is to create a serious atmosphere
during the week to encourage academic
excellence and a relaxed atmosphere to
encourage weekend activities.
Individual dorms were given the op-
portunity to establish reasonable social
policies and an individual's room is
recognized as his/her "home away from
home" as long as others' rights were
respected.
A social board, comprised equally of
students and faculty, was established to
help implement the new policies and
serve as the court for specified disciplin-
ary action should there be violations.
With everyone doing his or her fair
share, there is no doubt that DVC will
develop the happy campus atmosphere
that it should have.
Media Center Opens
by E.D. Wengryn
Eisner Hall, that little white building
behind the cafeteria, now is the home of
the DVC Media Center. Big deal, right?
You bet! For seniors who want slides for
seminars this is the place to get them
done. But it's not only for pictures; all
movie and slide equipment is to be lent
from there. The Kroy label maker and
Drymount laminator are also there. But
most important for those taking history,
this is the place to see those Vietnam
movies (when they get there) on the
VCR.
Currently no night hours are set. as
Mrs. Davidson is the only real staff mem-
ber, and she needs help if she is to serve
everyone. For now the hours are 8a.m.
to 4 p.m. daily and 12 noon to 5 p.m
on Sundays. When more student aides
are hired, the hours will expand; till then,
stop by and say hello and see what the
Media Center has for you.

by Rosemary Kluth
The New Year's Video Dance. Friday
the 18th. was terrific. We have to hand it
to Student Government for sponsoring

best and the music was danceable.
I'm sure that I'm not the only one
looking forward to the next one. No one
should have missed it. Thanks again and
good going Student Government.

Caesar's Pub
by ED. Wengryn
Del Val '85, enter the twilight zone.
Never before have student initiated ideas
taken off so fast. The demand for a place
to go on campus is quickly being met.
Last year we all enjoyed a new ele-
ment on campus, the non-alcoholic night
spot called Caesar's Pub. Many were
astonished to see the change in the emp-
ty void called the Snack Bar. The lights
were cut, the walls decorated (along with
the rest of the room), and the people
poured in. Many said that once the initial
novelty wore off that the people would
stop coming. Not so, the fire that started
on those nights still burns, and now hot-
ter than ever.
A few dedicated students spent some-
time over winter break working with
Coach Wilson and others on bringing
some permanent features to DVC's
Snack Bar. The biggest is the name
Caesar's Pub. The Snack Bar will under-
go some permanent face lifting changes
that will bring warmth and comfort to the
barren space in the Student Center.
These changes include a juke box. not
to mention the wide screen TV to be
placed in the far (till now useless) corner
of Caesar's. This TV will be used to show
video movies on special nights and it will
also receive a cable hookup.
Other upcoming changes include the
building of barn siding planters to be
placed between the pillars, and the con-
tinuation of the barn siding to cover the
bare wall on the left. This area will even-
tually be finished off with booths. The
Caesar's staff will run specialty nights
such as the recent milkshake and brownie
night. These nights will run from 10 p.m.
to 12:30 a.m. and will happen fairly
often with sjsecial movies or sporting
events.
But with all of these changes, the crea-
tors of the new Caesar's did not forget
what made it famous. They will still have
dances and special celebrations like a
Valentine's Day Caesar's, a Spring has
Sprung Caesar's, and hopefully a Ha-
waiian Night at Caesar's. It is the hope of
the new Caesar's creators that the pub
will become the place to be when you
can no longer stand the new quiet hour
rules in your dorm. So when the rules
get you down, don't strangle your room-
mate, head to Caesar's where something
is always happening.
Thank You!

A Fairy Tale Come True
Once upon a time, where the Aggies
roamed free, there was a small but quaint
college. The Aggies returning from a
much-needed vacation were busily un-
packing their new Christmas clothes.
With determination and courage, one
by one. the Aggies made their way to the
All-Purpose Room in search of their
schedule. Some were fortunate to pass
through quickly, while other became a
permanent wall hanging never to return
to the land of the living.
Once the shock of their new schedules
passed, the Aggies were greeted with
some new laws. They learned that the
snack bar is now Caesar's Pub all week
long. Caesar's will have movies running
during the week and a juke box to listen
to while eating the Caesar's specials The
Aggies learned that Caesar's will be a
great place to hang out during quiet
hours if they feel a need to blow off
steam .
For most of the Aggies, a glimmer of
hope of a new semester, now filled many
smiles, for the semester held for them
■nany new social activities and registered
par*'es. So. in the land where the Aggies
roamed free, there was never a boring
moment at the small but quaint college.

ON THE SPORTS FRONT
Impressivel
by Tim Ireland
On Friday, Jan. 18th, DVC's Men's
Track Team journeyed to the University
of Delaware to compete against Dela-
ware, Drexel. and LaSalle. Although the
Aggies placed fourth overall, they did
score 28 points and racked up four first
place finishes in individual events. Bran-
don Newell, a man we've heard a lot
about in the past, tallied two of the four
firsts. Brandon placed first in the long
jump (21 ' 10^/4 ") and in the triple jump
(48 '8", his personal best indoors). Also
placing first was weight man Jim Bauzon
in the 351b. wt. throw (44' 3". new
school record) and sprinter Al Benner
who ran 51.00 seconds in the open 400
m. for another school indoor record.
When reading about Benner, be sure
to check the first name because a new
Aggie is Rob Benner. Al's younger
brother who ran 2:02 in the 800 m. on
Friday. Rob will also be competing in the
3000 m. steeplechase in the spring.
Other freshmen joining the Aggies are
Sean diver (100 m. 200 m, 4 x 100
m.). Wan-en Kruse (10.000 m). Steve
Liller (shotput). Steve Meyer (1.500.
5.000), Dave Bradley (LJ. TJ. 4 x 400
m. 400 IH). Mike Kilker. and Carl Trab-
bio (shotput).
Steve Caffey joined Brandon in the tri-
ple jump placing third (42 ' 2V2"). In the
shotput. Jim Bauzon took third (45' 8")
followed by Steve Liller. fifth (43 ' 3V4 ") .
Edson Barret placed fourth in the 55 m.
dash (6.46 sec.) and Al Krouse placed
second in the 1.500 m. (4:03.7).
The Aggies were impressive. They
scored 28 points against big name
schools in their first meet after a layoff of
nearly six weeks. Also, they did so with-
out the efforts of Chip Zerr. John Stella,
and Chris Buckley, who were unable to
compete for various reasons.
The Aggies are looking forward to a
great year. So. keep your eyes peeled
because this is just the beginning!
Anyone interested in joining the Ag-
gies track team, men or women's, the
spring season officially starts on Feb. 1st.
Practice is at 4:15 daily at James Work
Memorial Stadium. Anyone interested in
joining must attend practice everyday
from that point on. Good luck Aggies!

Men's Hoop Team
Wins Five in a Rowl
By Duke Blessing
Coach Les Lombardi's team trudged
into the Christmas break with a 3-4
record. He came back after the break
and reloaded his gun with 1 1 freshrtien.
Going into the second half of the sea-
son with literally no years experience
on the playing roster, the Aggies faced a
tough road ahead in playing much more
experienced teams.
A funny thing happened to the kiddie
corps — they won ap incredible five in a
row!
GAME 1; DVC 83. URSINUS 71
Aggies even record at 4-4. Dodd
Walker scored 27 points and pulled
down seven rebounds. John Boone and
Derrick McCarter scored 14 and 13
respectively, while Eric Ford added
seven points.
The Aggies shot 60 percent from the
floor and 75 percent from the line.
GAME 2: DVC 85. ALBRIGHT 75
For the few people who understand
this meaning, this was the Jim Bender
special. The first Aggie victory in the
school's history over Albright College.
Derrick McCarter hit a shot to tie the
game at 72-72 and send it into overtime.
in the overtime period, the Aggies
scored 10 consecutive points and won
going away 85-75.
Dodd Walker led the Aggies with 27
points and Denrick McCarter scored 16.
Aggies now 5-4 overall, 2-4 league.
GAME 3: DVC 77, ALLENTOWN 72
Three in a row for Coach Lombardi's
team! The Aggies got down by 1 1 points
in the second half but came back to throt-
tle Allentown College.
Dodd Walker led the Aggies with 18
points and nine rebounds. Eric Ford
scored 13 points and dealt nine assists.
GAME 4: DVC 69, MUHLENBERG 64
Aggies win fourth in a row! DVC over-
comes a 14-point deficit to defeat an ex-
perienced Muhlenberg squad.
Eric Ford scored 14 points and had
four steals. Derrick McCarter led the Ag-
gies in scoring with 19 points while Dodd
Walker and John Boone added 12 and
10 respectively.
GAME 5: DVC 84. CATHOLIC 78
Winning streak hits five games! Aggies
overall record at 8-4.
Marvin Emerson had his best overall
game since the season opening tourna-
ment as he scored 18 points and did a
nice defensive job on Catholic's leading
scorer. John Winkler.
Derrick McCarter also had a nice
game as he poured in 16 points.
Coaches Lombardi and Welsh and the
team should be congratulated for this ef-
fort and here's hoping for a good record
the rest of the year!

Aggie Women Drop
Fourth Straight
by Duke Blessing
The Women's Basketball Team has hit
a snag, losing their fourth straight after
seven wins to open the season.
The setback was at the hands of Al-
bright College by the score of 61-54.
DVC was led by freshman Mary Jo
Bush who canned 19 points. Kim Frey
added 10 points in the losing cause.
With the loss, the Aggies record drops
to 7-4 with their league mark falling to
2-3.
Tonight, the girls play St. Elizabeth
College at 7 p.m. in the Work Gym.
Come out and support the team!
Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
I want to express the appreciation of
the Admissions Office to those students
from Farm 3 and the Dairy Department
for the extra effort shown at the Pa. State
Farm Show. The Farm Show is a very
important time for recruiting and touch-
ing base with alumni in the agriculture
industry as well as livestock and dairy
contests.
Our students received many compli-
ments about their good attitudes and
knowledge about DVC. Well over
750. (XX) people travel through the
week-long event, making it one of the
largest and most important agricultural
expositions in the country. I was very
proud of comments received from alum-
ni, local residents, employers, and even
college representatives from the "other
agricultural college."
I just hope that students realize and
take advantage of the opportunities pre-
sented to them at DVC. We offer a most
unique college setting and atmosphere
that, if used, can make them highly suc-
cessful individuals.
in spite of the days when the dining
hall served mystery meat and cold corn,
(again) and the dorms had only cold
water for a morning shower and all the
other inconveniences that arose, there is
plenty to make you feel proud of being a
DVC Aggie.
Special thanks to Neil Kratzer and
crew for ail their help.
Thanks again,
Jacky Mento
AGGIES DROP A PAIR
OVER WEEKEND
by Duke Blessing
The Aggie men's basketball team took
to the road last weekend and came back
empty handed.
On Friday night the Aggies were
dumped by Susquehanna 99-74. Derrick
McCarter led the way with 17 points
while Dodd "Hometown" Walker and
Marvin Emerson scored 15 and 10
respectively.
The Aggies dropped a tough one to
Juniata on Saturday by the score of
69-61.
Once again. Derrick McCarter led the
way with 22 points. Dodd Walker chip-
ped in with 13 points.
After 14 games Dodd Walker leads
the team in scoring (L5.5) and rebound-
ing (7.1). Derrick McCarter is second in
scoring at 12.7 a game.
With the two losses. DVC drops to 8-6
overall. 2-6 in the league.
The Aggies are at Spring Garden to-
night and travel to Scranton on Wednes-
day for a MAC contest.

The 69th Pennsylvania Farm Show
by L.E. Blatt
It was a typical farm show. Snow,
snow, and more snow. The 69th Penn-
sylvania Farm Show opened on Sat.,
Jan. 12, in the midst of precipitation.
Governor Dick Thornburg and Secretary
of Agriculture, Penrose Hallowcll of
Bucks County, were on hand for the
opening address.
Despite all of the outdoor weather ac-
tivity, many of us spent the week at the
Farm Show which ran from Sat., Jan.
12 to Fri., Jan. 18. As I worked at the
PA Rorists Association booth, which was
in the middle of everything, the most
asked question to me was "Where are
the ducks and chickens?" After the Avian
Flu outbreak last year that kept the fowl
from making an appearance at the farm
show, everyone was anxious to see all
the ducks, turkeys, and chickens this
year. These birds were well represented
with everything from Canadian geese to
turkeys, and everyone that I talked to
certainly enjoyed the return of our fine-
feathered friends.
The cattle, horses, and small animals
were another popular attraction. In fact,
while 1 was at the Harrisburg Arena, twin
calves and about six lambs were born, a
sight the children thoroughly enjoyed!
There was also a lot of farm equip-
ment, seed companies, and agricultural
journals represented. On set-up day,
Fri., ail the companies were waxing and
painting their equipment. (Of course, the
machinery never looks better than when
It's at the farm show.)
Many women go to the farm show for
the fine display of homemade clothing,
quilts, other crafts, and canned food.
There were several display rooms of hor-
ticultural and agronomic crops. In these
rooms was everything from beeswax,
honey, and fruit to wheat, barley, and
com.
The entire week was filled with many
demonstrations. There was the showing
of all the animals, sheep-shearing dem-
onstrations, sewing exhibitions, and a
square dancing contest, just to name a
few of the events.
Everyone who visits the farm show
has to have a try at the scrumptious as-
sortment of homemade foods. Breaded
mushrooms, vegetable soup, pork bar-
beques, chocolate shakes, and my
favorite — baked potatoes.
The agricultural educational institu-
tions of Pennsylvania were also well rep-
resented. Penn Stiite had an exhibit
which helped one to learn about the agri-
cultural extensio'n service in each jjarticu-
lar county. Williamsport Area Communi-
ty College was represented by an exhibit
which showed what the school is all
about. Last, but definitely not least, DVC
was represented by Jackie Mento and
the admissions exhibit where there was
an alumni sign-in and DVC balloons and
buttons

day reached record numbers. It was a

"Romancing the Stone'
by Kevin Brown
Romancing the Stone is a light-hearted
romantic adventure of a "one of those
days" in the life of Joan Wilder. Joan, a
romance novelist played by Kathleen
Turner, is introduced as a frustrated
woman, bored with reality, bored with
her work, and bored with her cat, known
as Romeo. But as the daily doldrums
were about to end for our victim, sud-
denly her less fortunate sister, whose
husband had just been stabbed to death,
is kidnapped by a precocious 12-year-
old (probably also bored playing with his
friends) who delivers her over to terrible
white-collar thugs who take her to Col-
umbia, a nation in possesion of its own
reputation for relief of boredom.
Joan gets rop)ed into this because of a
treasure map mysteriously mailed to her.
The kidnappers want it. Joan heads off
to Columbia to deliver it, a noble but
frustrated cause. She arrives, takes a
bus, and ends up causing an accident
between the only two vehicles running
within a hundred miles; one of them,
their bus, was heading the wrong way
anyway. The other was a Jeep which
probably wasn't in good condition at all;
she is left helplessly at the scene caught
in a shoot out and then finally alone with
her hero, Jack T. Colton (Michael Doug-
las), who won the shoot out.
T^e heroine exemplifies many strong
qualities, all of them are sadly too
feminine: off on a rescue mission,
unarmed and weighed down. At the first
meeting with the man of her dreams, she
didn't impress him (nor he her) . She was
powered and puffed; he adamant and
aware.
Nothing about her seemed to impress
him. Seeing this helped her boredom a
bit. She had to buy his help, carry her
own unnecessary baggage, and then
Movie Review

ned two films. The Cotton Club and
Johnn\/ Dangerously.
The first feature we saw that day was
The Cotton Club, which starred that
handsome actor Richard Gere and his
leading lady, Diane Lane. This movie
centers around New York's Cotton Club
during the early 1930's. It's about Dixie
(Gere) Drwyer, who makes his living
playing coronet in a club band. One
night he accidently saves the life of Dutch
Schultz. Afterward his life changes for-
ever. He's thrown into a life of crime and
the underworld. He is hired by the Dutch-
man to be the bodyguard of his mistress
(Lane). This movie, although a bit long,
is interesting to watch if you pay attention.
The second feature of the day was the
comedy Johnnt^ Dangerously starring
Michael Keaton, Marilu Henner, and
many, many others. This movie is a
spoof on the gangster movies set in the
1930's. Whereas. The Cotton Club
could be termed a gangster film.
The movie starts when Johnny Kelly,
alias Johnny Dangerously (Keaton).
turns to the underworld to help pay for
his mother's medical bills. He's known to
his family just as a nightclub owner, they
don't know he's a hood. Johnny's little
brother is on his way up to becoming the
D.A.; he wants to stop crime and stop
Mr. Dangerously. What will happen
when he finds out that the brother who
put him through law school is Johnny
Dangerously? Watch to find out.
I thought that both movies were good.
They are both set in the same time
period and have the same subject, but
that's where the similarity ends. The Cot-
ton Club is a fairly deep melodrama,
while Johnny Dangerously is a fun-filled
comedy. If you enjoy watching movies of
the gangster era, here's your chance to
see either or both movies. They are both
worth the time. If they are not out in your
area, you can wait to watch them on
video tape or on pay TV (like HBO,
Prism, etc.)
' ~ A Woman's Fantasy!
struggle to keep up with him because of
her high-heeled shoes. He did her no
favors, payed her no special respect, nor
did her any harm.
After this, they spend a night in the
fuselage of a downed plane filled with
kilo bags of marijuana. A beautiful
woman, a plane full of pot, and a bottle
of whiskey they found, helped romance
usurp the adventure. Here we see the
real stone; the emerald becomes a sub-
plot. The story is about a woman's fan-
tasy of a man. In reality he is not who she
expected, but during her frustrated dia-
logue of what a real man should be her
bubble is pleasantly burst.
She rattles on while he moves, ignor-
ing her lecture, when as the camera
angle widens we see approaching behind
her a snake, of which she is unaware.
When he finally kills it she is confound-
ed. She realizes a real man knows how
to survive. We realize the real stone is
Jack T. Colton.
He was a man living alone, surrounded
by a forbidding jungle which apparently
he learned to master. His sole ambition
was to sail the world, a task which Joan
empatheticaliy saw as lonely.
Finally his purpose as her guide is
over, the romance and charm seem
gone. He takes her money and is ap-
fjarently ready to leave her behind. But
as romance stories have it, it is not the
case. He surprises her, wines her, dines
her, makes love to her, he becomes her
gem.
The story could have easily been
serious if the characters had been so. But
they were light, taking each twist and
turn with ease, fun, and romance.
The next time you have one of those
days, play along, your wildest dreams
may come true!

There will be an important meeting
next Wed. at 7 p.m. in the Student Cen-
ter here at DVC. Plan to attend and par-
ticipate in this public meeting sponsored
by the P.U.C. (Pennsylvania Utilities
Commission).
The big question to be aired is whether
or not PECO should finish Limerick II
which is only 30% complete at present.
One of the big questions in this contro-
versy is whether or not the P.U.C. in
Harrisburg represents the wishes of the
majority of the people in Pennsylvania or
the wishes of utility companies such as
PECO!
TRIVIA QUESTION

Student Store - A Jail? Philadelphia Orchestra
Is this familiar — "Please take off your
coat and put it in the coat hole." For
many of us, this is a very familiar sen-
tence that can be heard at the Student
Store.
The Student Store started a new policy
of having the store's patrons take their
coats off. Apparently, the store has been
losing money through stolen goods. This
new policy is supposed to cut down on
the amount of stealing.
For me, a patron who doesn't steal, I
feel very humiliated every time I'm asked
to take my coat off. I feel equally bad for
the employee who has to ask me to take
it off. When I do go to the Student Store,
I usually stay only a few minutes; taking
my coat off is an inconvenience. Also,
there are no hangers to hang my coat
up. I have to put my coat in a hole made
for books.
As a student. 1 feel very embarrased
about the Student Store. We are not kin-
dergartens, we are college students who
should be trusted. If the Student Store is
having problems with stolen goods. I
suggest that the store undergo changes
in personnel and their policies.
I hope in the future, the Student Store
stops treating us like convicts!
Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
What is A.D.? And when" is it going to
get here? There have been many letters
written about littering our campus. This is
another one! What purposes do notices
serve if no one knows what they mean!
Anyone who has entered the mail room
has seen the purpose of such notices.
They cover the tiles on the floor! There-
fore, not only were these notices mean-
ingless, they were a waste of paper and
very few of them made it to the trash
can . Not only do I hold the students res-
ponsible but the main responsibility, in
my mind, falls on the shoulders of the
people who put this meaningless notice
in our mailboxes. Trying to build sus-
pense is one thing, but at the expense of
wasting paper and littering our campus. I
hardly think it's worth it. I have not found
anyone who knows what A.D. is. Can
you shed any light on this subject?

Coffeehouse with Steve
by Robert Veneziale
On Tues.. Jan. 22. Steve Coffey en-
tertained hungry and tired DVC students
at the first coffeehouse of the semester.
The coffeehouse was held in the Snack
Bar, now popularly known as Caesar's
Pub. from 11 to 1.
Steve had a large audience during the
lunch hour. His music revived all of us
who had been through a day of classes
and before long we were all "feeling
groovy." As Steve played, many stu-
dents were eating lunch and/or doing
last minute homework. Steve played and
sang so well he had everyone tapping
their feet and singing along. He played
on and we continued to jam on with
him. He sang many popular songs of the
60's, 70's, and 80's, such as: "Blackbird
Singing In the Dead of Night," "I Guess
That's Why They Call it the Blues," "It's
a Wild World," and "Moonshadow." If
you missed Steve, you missed another
great coffeehouse. We hope to see you
at the next one.

*WEEKS WITHOUT WATER"
by Duke Blessing
The following poem is dedicated to
the magnificent maintenance crew from
the versatile and illustrious one:
A week without water
oh no, that's not nice,
not a person was washing
not even the mice.
The bo\;s of West Campus
stood still quite aloof,
with nowhere to go
the\; pissed off the roof.
Their bodies began to smell
and their teeth began to rot,
the wan we had to live,
sanitar];, it was not.
One month later and the water is fixed
oh wow!, quite a feat.
but hey. it's 20° below toda^
and where the heck's the heat?!

Aggies Felted by
Moravian, 68-66
By Duke Blessing
In what is becoming a nightly oc-
curence, the Men's Basketball team fell
behind by double digits in the second half
and rallied to tie the score.
This time though, the rally was not
quite enough as the Aggies dropped a
non-league game to Moravian College,
68-66.
DVC had a chance to tie but Tony
Blackwell's jump>er with four seconds left
bounced off the rim and Moravian hand-
ed the home team their third consecutive
loss.
Dodd Walker led the way for the Ag-
gies with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
Derrick McCarter scored 16 points and
Eric Ford chipped in with 9 points and 8
assists.
The loss drops the Aggies to 8-7 over-
all. League record stands at 2-6.
SCRANTON DROPS AGGIES
67-63
by Duke Blessing
In what has been an off year of sorts
for Scranton University (10-7 overall.
6-3 league), the Royals still managed to
hold off the Aggies pressure to defeat the
host team 67-63.
DVC opened up an early seven point
lead and took a 32-30 lead into halftime.
Scranton moved ahead to stay at
53-51 with a little over three minutes re-
maining. The more experienced Royals
then canned some key free throws to
seal the victory.
Derrick McCarter shot a red-hot 10-of-
13 from the field and 4-of-5 from the line
to lead the Aggies with 24 points.
The Aggies also got 11 points from
Dodd Walker and 10 from Mark Spotts.
DVC has now lost four straight games
to fall to 8-8 overall and 2-7 in the
league.
DVC CONTINUES
RECENT SLUMP
by Duke Blessing
The Aggies five-game winning streak
of two weeks ago has now been all but
officially erased due to their recent five-
game losing streak.
DVC fell victim to Wilkes College as
they once again trailed by ten points in
the second half, on route to a 97-87
defeat at Work Gym.
Derrick McCarter continued to pour it
in as he led all Aggies scores with 24
points. Also scoring in double figures for
the Aggies were Dodd Walker (18). Mark
Spotts (12). and John Boone (11).
The loss puts the Aggies overall mark
at 8-9 and drops their league mark to
2-8.
Women's Losing Streak
Reaches Seven
by Duke Blessing
What looked like a sure thing after the
first seven games of the season has now
become a question mark after their most
recent seven games.
Season *1 saw the Aggies win their
way to a 7-0 record. 2-0 in the league.
Season *2 has included only a seven-
game losing streak, a 0-7 record and 0-3
in the league.
The Aggies now start their third season
with a 7-7 overall record. 2-3 in the
MAC. With this 77-66 loss to FDU, the
women must win the rest of their con-
ference games to get a playoff birth
Three of their remaining league games
are against three teams that they have
lost to up to this point.
Against FDU, Aimee Trunell led the
Aggies with 19 points. Darcell Estep and
Kim Frey scored 17 and 14 respectively.
Hometown hits for two for the home team.

Cabrinl Downs Aggie
Women, 70-51
by Duke Blessing
The women continue to roll in reverse
since the Christmas break as they drop-
ped their fifth straight game, 70-51, to
Cabrini College.
DVC took a 24-23 lead into halftime
but were outscored by 20 points in the
second half to drop the contest.
Marcey Carroll led the way for the Ag-
gies with 12 points while Lisa Long and
Mary Jo Bush scored 10 points each.
The loss drops the Aggies to 7-5 over-
ail while their league record remains at
2-2.
AGGIE WOMEN LOSE
SIXTH IN A ROW
by Duke Blessing
The Women's Basketball team was
down 11-0 to Widener after the few
minutes and went into the half trailing
34-25.
The closest the Aggies would come to
the Pioneers was five points at 45-40 as
Widener picked it up and defeated DVC,
71-55.
When you combine the poor start, re-
bounding problems, and Widener's 10-4
record, the ingredients equal the Aggies
sixth consecutive loss.
Kim Frey led the way with 22 points
while Mary Jo Bush and Darcell Estep
each scored 10 points.
The Aggies fell to 7-6 overall with this
non -league loss.
GOLDMAN 2nd WAS THE
2nd BY THE GEENGLO MAN
January 26th's Registered Party hosted
by Goldman 2nd can be called a success.
For the second major weekend of DVC's
spring semester, the weekend students
were able to blow off steam and have an
excellent time. The Caesar's Pub DJ and
his attractive assistant kept everyone
hoppin'. even the bartenders got a
chance during their 20 minute break. (It
did make the beer last longer.) Everyone
had a good time. The party broke up
around 1:(X) but by then almost every-
one was ready to go.

A Snowy Saturdait—- — — : — : — :
•^ "^rNow that you ve been embarrassed
and fed you continue to look for the
by ED. Wengryn
Many students complain of nothing to
do on weekends. What is worse is what
do you do on a snowy Saturday? The
weekend of February 2 and 3 presented
us with one of those damp, dreary,
snowy days. Many students wondered
what to do. Others busied themselves.
The morning was the easiest. There
was a registered party the night before,
so many students slept until 11 o'clock
brunch. It was after brunch that boredom
set in. Some people went to study in the
library (that thought lasted 10 minutes
with most); others decided to build a
snow fort (but forts of snow do fall to the
stuff that makes them mainly an all out
attack); some students even discovered
that if they got under the same blanket
with a loved one you can actually watch
channel 12 all day. With all of these
choices, it is no wonder most of DVC
could be seen braving the weather and
heading to the mall.
The mall is definitely the place to be on
a snowy Saturday. Why? Well, despite
the sales, no one is there. If people are
there, it's because they did not want to
stay at DVC either.
After going through store after store
looking for clothes. Spencer's presents a
nice change of pace. If change was not
what you had in mind, you can always
try Frederick's and find something to
wear under that dinner dance dress or
suit. When Fredericks get boring (usually
embarrassing first), you can remember
that lunch was not that great, and start a
search for food.
pants you came shopping for. (I defy
anyone to find gray corduroy pants with
a 30 inch waist and 36 inch length.) It is
at this point you realize why you can't
find the winter clothes you want. Every-
thing on display is summer wear (includ-
ing the bathing suits for spring break) . So
you decide to look for a mall exit to see if
it really is winter out.
What you do sec is it is still snowing
out. So you get everyone together and
head back. Yes. just in time for dinner at
the DVC cafeteria, yea? After carefully
selecting a tray (one with no cracks in it)
you begin to plot how to get it out of the
cafeteria so you and your friends can go
traying.
Well, you made it out and now it is
time to test it, but where? How about the
hill between the cafeteria and Elson.
Now that you know your tray works, you
decide to get on warmer clothes and look
for the good hills. The one behind Eisner
Hall (the new Media Center) is not too
bad, but for a real thrill try behind the
Hort building (just don't rip out the ivy on
the way down) .
After all your traying you head back to
a friend's room to get into dry clothes
and a warm room. So what next? How
about borrowing a blender and making
Amaretta Sours to warm up on and
watch "The Love Boat?" What's that, oh
yea, I forgot about the nachos we all ate.
So much for a snowy Saturday!
It is now that students should be advised
to return this borrowed tray after the
spring thaw.
What is the DVC Difference
in Computer Education?
(The folhwing article is by Mr. Ger\e W.
Lewis, Chairmar) of the Computer Sys-
tems Informatior) Management Depart-
ment at DVC.)
When you find a four-year school in
the 1980's that is offering its first com-
puter major, the initial reaction is typical-
ly that it's just another Computer Science
offering and "so what else is new?" How-
ever, what is different about the new
Computer Information Systems Manage-
ment (CISM) program at DVC is that it is
not just another computer science pro-
gram but is inste2)d a merging of the
study of computer <ipplications with busi-
ness administration.
To understand why this is lu-w and in-
novative in educational circles you have
to look at the history of computer educa-
tion in this country. In the "60s the em-
phasis in computers was on the hard-
ware and how do we built it smaller and
faster. Several of the engineering schools
followed this development with courses
on digital logic and design, in the '70s
the emphasis started to move to the soft-
ware arena with the goal being how to
achieve maximum utilization of this in-
creasingly sophisticated hardware by
writing complex but efficient programs, it
was the '70s that saw the very large in-
crease in the number of colleges offering
the Computer Science degree which typ-
ically followed a fairly technical tract with
emphasis on either hardware or software
design or. in some cases, both.
As we move now into the timeframe
of the '80s the new emphasis in both
computer use and education is evolving
to that of "applications." Applications is
the science of achievir^ maximum utili-
zation of the existing computer hardware
and software for the benefit of the end
user. It is the ability of using the contem-
porary computer as the powerful busi-
ness and scientific tool that it can be in a
wide range of endeavors. What is pres-
ently unique about the DVC CISM pro-
gram in this geographical area is that it
provides a balanced blend of both com-
puter applications and business courses
that can provide a graduate with an ex-
cellent set of entry credentials into the
contemporary business world .
The CISM program has been designed
using the recently developed Date Pro-
cessing Managers Association (DPMA)
model curriculum. The DPMA is one of
the largest international groups of profes-
sional computer users and they have de-
veloped this model curriculum to address
the evolving needs of the business com-
munity for individuals conversant with
both computer applications and business
system structures. At DVC we have car-
ried the DPMA model even a step further
into the future by recognizing the power
of the microcomputer and the Impact that
it is having in the business community.
The four-year course sequence of the
CISM tract will expose the student to
mainframe applications through conven-
tional language and data base manage-
ment courses with progression in the
junior and senior years to microcom-
puter-based courses emphasizing such
applications as decision making, office
automation, and communications.
The unique edge that we presently
have on this geographic segment of the
computer education market will not last
for long as other schools start to recog-
nize the short-comings of their existing
computer science programs, but until
that happens we should attempt to take
maximum advantage of this head start as
we introduce our program to potential
students.
Continuing Education
Enrollment up at DVC
Continuing Education enrollment for
the spring semester at DVC is 10 percent
higher than it was at the same time last
year.
According to Dr. Gerald Handler,
Chairman of the College's Continuing
Education Division, a total of 305 per-
sons have registered for the spring term.
Last year. 277 persons were enrolled.
"I think the increase is due to a better
awareness of the programs we have to
offer," said Handler. "We've made an ef-
f
fort to make our continuing education
programs more visible to the community,
mostly through a mass mailing as well as
through advertising. These figures show
that our efforts have been successful.
We're looking forward to growing even
bigger in the years to come."
Among the Continuing Education
programs offered by the College are an
evening program leading to the Bachelor
of Science degree in Business Adminis-
tration; the basic studies program (essen-
tially equivalent to the first two years of
course work in most baccalaureate pro-
grams) offered in the evening; sf)ecialized
course sequences in laboratory animal
management, business management,
marketing, operations management, ac-
counting, real estate, and computer;
and a complete program of non-credit
courses.
Of the 305 persons currently enrolled
in the Continuing Education program,
252 live in Bucks County,' 39 live in
Montgorfiery County, and 14 come from
either Philadelphia or New Jersey.
Student Store - Not a Jail
As a student employee of the Student
Center. I am directly familiar with the
saying, "Please take off your coat and
put it in the coat hole," which is part of
my job responsibility in the Student Store.
First of all, the so-called Student Store
policy of having customers remove their
coats is not new or established by the
Student Store, but was issued by your
own peers. Student Government repre-
sentatives last semester.
Here at DVC, I've heard many stu-
dents feel they are embarrassed and
humiliated by the policy. On the other
side of the fence it's equally as difficult to
enforce such a F>olicy. However. I per-
sonally feel at this point it is essential.
Look at the bright side; our inconve-
nience is minimal compared to Bucks
County Community College's Student
Store. At BCCC, students must enter a
lobby area and pay a quarter for a key
locker to place their personal belongings
in before entering the Student Store. To
reinforce this policy, a uniformed guard
is on duty during store hours.
The Student Center, as many already
know, is a non-profit organization.
Therefore, the money the store loses
from stolen goods comes directly out of
the students pockets. In just textbooks
last semester, many passed the cashier
tucked away under coats.
Unfortunately, because of a handful of
individuals stealing, we all have to be in-
convenienced. The good news is, com-
pared to last semester, a considerable
amount of stealing has decreased alone
In textbooks. True, college students
should be trusted, however, as long as
stealing continues the policy will have to
remain in effect.
Coming to Caesar's Monday;
Linda Black
Entertaining comes naturally to Linda
Black. The -gift of witty,, spontaneous
rapport is hers. That is the given. The
rest has been work.
Music was Linda's solace in a world of
change. Before her tenth birthday, Lin-
da's family had traveled coast to coast
and called six states "home." Her love of
music grew, and so did the intrigue with
travel. After graduation from De Paul
University, her suma cum laude Bache-
lor's degree in music translating into
superbly expressive vocal and instru-
mental ability, Linda began touring the
competitive music circuits.
Diverse musical interests inspired eclec-
tic sets, and she would mix popular, clas-
sical, original, and obscure songs with
poetry readings and anecdotes. She'd
switch from guitar to piano to uke to
dulcimer without missing a beat, the
cohesion provided by incomparable
stage presence and genuine affection for
the audience.
1985 marks Linda's fifth year of tour-
ing. Those years have yielded five suc-
cessful NACA showcases, many awards
and commendations, over 400 college
shows and twice as many club and caba-
ret appearances, a book of poetry, and
featured selections on Tunesmythe
Records, plus a few dubious milestones:
250,000 road miles covering twenty-
seven states, exhausting three vehicles
and eight road atlases.
The miles, the experiences, the shows
— all labors of love, all contributing to
the development of a dynamic performer
and an unforgettable entertainer.

DUKE'S DIARY
A Play on Words
by Duke Blessing
I've been reading the "Music/Nightlife"
column for the past who. knows how
long and I have taken It upon myself to
liven things up.
In the version that only I can produce,
here is my version of Music/Nightlife:
This Week's Combined Pop Top
and Country Top Ten
Being something of a loverboy, I
decided to cruise Heaven and find my-
self an Easy Lover. I got into this sleezy
habit by hanging- out with The Boys of
Summer, where all we ran into were
Material Girls.
1 danced far into the night and met a
beautiful girl. I said "Ain't She Some-
thing Else." I felt soon after Something
In My Heart. She held Me Against the
Night and blew a Careless Whisper
into my ear. She said. "You're the In-
spiration " I told her that. "I Would
Die for You
We left to go back to my place but to
my surprise she acted Like a Virgin.
She said. "I Want to Know What Love
Is" and I drove her home.
Being in one of those moods. I went
back to the dance spot. I met a Foreigner
and I knew she liked to Wham. I turned
a Deep Purple when she said You
Turn Me On.
We left, looking for A Place to Fall
Apart and wound up at my place again.
She was definitely into the Method of
Modem Love and we got closer. Baby's
Got Her Blue Jeans On, but not for
long because of the Fire in the Night.
She was faster than an REO Speed-
wagon and a Joan Jett as she did a
Neutron Dance on my face.
It will be some time before 1 find out
the Robert Hazard of that memorable
night.
PERSONALS
Too Lcrte Now!
It was lunch time and I was starved. I
made my way into the cafeteria to see
what I could eat. When I got there, I
didn't know what to have. There was
chicken chow mein, swiss cheese quiche,
or pizza to choose from. I figured that
pizza would be the best choice, as only
God knows what is found in chow mein
or quiche. The pizza tasted like cardboard
with lots of glue in it. with a tomato sauce
that tasted like sun baked tomato juice. I
regret to say it was the biggest mistake of
my life Perhaps next time I'll go for
quiche.

cent from the field as they wrecked the
Aggies for 60 second half points on the

AGGIES UPSET SCRANTON
70-69
by Duke Blessing
In what happens as often as a snow-
storm in Los Angeles, the DVC Men's
Basketball team pulled off the unusual —
a victory over Scranton. in Scranton.
One can argue that this is one of the
weakest Scranton teams in recent mem-
ory (nine losses already), but one must
also remember that this Aggie team is
one of the youngest ever in any league in
any year.
The Aggies took a 39-31 lead into
halftime as they continued their hot
shooting.
In the second half, the lead changed
hands several times and the issue was
finally settled when Marty Hoffner hit a
20-foot jump shot with one second re-
maining to give the Aggies a 70-69 vic-
tory — the first Aggie victory ever at
Scranton .
John Boone led the Aggies with 18
FKJints and 11 rebounds. Dodd Walker
and Eric Ford scored 14 and 12 points,
respectively, while Hoffner ridded 12
points also.
With the victory, the Aggies up their
overall mark to 9- 10 and league mark to
3-8.
AGGIES KNOCK OFF
MESSIAH, 70-64
by Duke Blessing
The Aggies evened their overall record
at 10-10 and upped their league record
to 4-8 as they defeated the snow and
Messiah College 70-64.
At halftime. DVC led 23- 18 but the of-
fense came back in the second half to
score 47 points for the victory.
One of the big reasons for this Aggie
victory was the continued outstanding
play of big John Boone. Boone scored
21 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, and
blocked four Messiah shots.
Dodd Walker and Derrick McCarter
each scored 16 points and Eric Ford
chipped in with eight points.
The Aggies close out the season with
two home games: Wed.. Feb. 13 vs.

An Interview with THE HOOTERS!
Ron Hyman & Eric Brazilian of
The Hooters! Good job guys!
by Mike DeRosa
By Sonne stroke of luck. 1 was able to
interview two members of "The Hooters"
right before the show. The interview was
with Rob Hyman and Eric Brazilian. I
could see in their faces and by their ac-
tions that both of them were really psyched
for the show. Eric and Rob are two really
"down to earth" individuals. I'll let you be
the judge:
0. How did "The Hooters" start. I
mear} what brought it on?
A. (Robl A fever. Eric and I formed
the band a little over four years ago
We'd been playing in a lot of different
groups, and this is the last and most suc-
cessful one of them, but we formed the
band and then we've met the guys. Over
the years we've had a couple of person-
nel changes. Davy, the drummer, has
been with us since the beginning, the
other guys are a little newer.
Q What made i;ou decide on using o
"Hooter " for \;our trademark?
A. (Robl Well why not. no one else
was using it. [Eric] We borrowed one
and we liked it. [Rob] Yeah, a friend of
Eric's had one. [Eric] We actually liked
the way it looked better than the way it
sounded (they both laughed), actually,
that's not true, it sounds good.
Q. What is the name of [;our new
album?
A. [Rob] It is still untitled, but it's prob-
ably coming out in a month and a half.
or so. [Eric] Yeah, we just finished it up.
[Rob] On Columbia Records.
Q. What is going through your heads
right before a performance?
A. [Rob] Well, last night, for example,
right when we were going on our drum-
mer jumped tip and on his fall back to
earth he twisted his ankle and like fell
down. We have a tape that starts the
show, and the tape was rolling, and we
were ready to go out. and he's sitting
down there, holding his leg. screaming
"Oh shit!." What was going through our
heads was kind of like "Well, this is going
to be interesting!" But every night it's dif-
ferent. We put a lot of thought into the
shows, we get together before each show
and kind of have a little "huddle" and
talk about the show. [Eric] Like to make
sure the same thing is going through all
our minds before we go on stage.
Q. Who is "Antenna records?"
A. [Rob] We decided that we were go-
ing to put out a record ourselves and go
the independent route, so since we were
putting out a record , the record needed a
label, and the label needed a name, and
Antenna became the name. [Eric] Now
there actually is an Antenna records, on
which there is another album coming out
shortly by another artist.
Q. What do you do in \;our spare time?
A. [Rob] We haven't had much lately.
Anything, even when we're off we're
thinking about the music all the time and
we're doing a lot with that. We sit down
and do a jigsaw puzzle or read a book or
something. Lately we've been working
day and night to be honest. We've been
going every day. We were playing Sus-
quehanna University last night which
was way up near Harrisburg. That was a
long drive. [Eric] It's been like final's time
for the past two months. Actually, it's
been like six months. Since Sept. 20th
we started the album, we have been
playing and recording simultaneously.
Q. Other than your own music, what
is your favorite type?
A. [Eric] There is a lot out there. [Rob]
I like a lot of reggae stuff, and jazz. 1 have
a pretty good jazz collection . Every now
and then I go back and pull things out
that I haven't listened to. We hear every-
thing that's on the radio, but we try to dig
out a lot of stuff that they don't play, and
check out bands that are a little bit more
out of the ordinary. [Eric] I am looking
forward to becoming reaquainted with
my record collection soon. [Robl Yeah,
it's tough to keep up.
Q. What ideas spurred on the creation
of your most popular songs?
A [Rob] Some of them are really hard
and they take a lot of time and discus-
sion, especially about the lyrics. Some-
times we'll get an idea like a hook or a ti-
tle and we'll have to work on the lyrics.
"Fighting on the Same Side" came rather
quickly as I recall. [Eric] That one was
like a gift from above, as are many of
them. We very rarely sit down and say
"We are going to write a song about such
and such." Although, that has happened
a couple of times, but usually the words
will come, the music will come, and then
we'll say it's about this or that. But even
when we decide to write a song about a
particular subject, we'll beat our heads
against the wall and we won't come up
with anything, and then something else
will come through and it'll turn out that
that is about the thing we were going to
write about in the first place. It's very fun-
ny how it works.
Q. What is life like on the road?
A. [Rc^] There are advantages to every
phase. The grass is always greener.
When we're in the studio, we can't wait
to go and play, that's why these shows
are really great, and when we're playing
it's nice to go in the studio, when we're
on the road it's great because you're
away, nobody can call you, you don't
have to pay your bills, you don't have to
do anything. You're just out there on your
own. We have our own little organization
that just travels around, and that's fun.
But then if you're out too long you get
homesick and you want to come back.
Q. Everybody knows that you wrote
and produced "Time After Time" for
Cyndi Lauper, is it also true that you ar-
ranged "Girls Just Want to Have Fun"
too?
A. [Eric] Actually we arranged most of
the stuff on the album. [Rob] Yeah, we
did just about all the instruments on it,
the arranging with her producer, then
with Cyndi, but Hazard's version was
very different, we kind of took the music
apart and we gave it a little bit of our
ideas, actually a lot of our ideas, it
became kind of a different song.
Q. What are the future plans for "The
Hooters?"
A [Rob] Onward and upward The
record will be a big test, we're going to do
rotit'd or] p<; 2

College Hosts Pennsylvania
Nurseryman's Association
Regional Meeting
by Bill Rein
Yes, DVC hosted the Southeastern
(E-1) Chapter of the Pennsylvania Nur-
seryman's Association Annual Meeting
for the second year in a row; and yes. a
major snowstorm did occur the very
same day for the second year in a row!
But. despite terrible road conditions and
slippery sidewalks, about 150 people
(some from as far away as western New
York state) attended the day-long meet-
ing held January 17th in the Student
Center APR.
Arranged by Dr. Seik of the Ornamen-
tal Horticulture Department, the Chap-
ter's annual meeting was put together in
cooperation with our local Penn State
Agricultural Extension Service represen-
tative Scott Geiser. and Howard Loscig.
of Pointoview Nursery, who is program
chairman of El. M.W. Wood catered
the included luncheon during which the
president of the PNA. Carl Jacobs, made
pertinent announcements.
After lunch, two of our very own
faculty members — Dr. Frederick Ray
and Mr. David Benner — spoke of
"Underused Landscape Plants — Use
Them." Among the many widely avail-
able ornamentals they mentioned was.
for example, the Serbian Spruce (picea
amorika) . which has been in the trade for
years now, and though it's one of the
more beautiful evergreen trees, has still
been ignored in favor of the more famil-
iar, yet less dramatic, Spruce Tree. This
was actually a chance for those estab-
lished in the nursery related business to
learn about those "hidden treasure"
landscape plants which OH. majors
at our college have already come to
appreciate!

weeks ago. a visitation committee met to
discuss with faculty and administration
what has been happening in the O.H.
department, and what curriculum changes
could be suggested in order for our orna-

pete more successfully in horticulture-
related careers. A committee has been
formed to this end for about four years in
a row, and has usually met in June.

AUTOMATION
On Thursday, February 7th, DVC stu-
dents and members of the community
had the opportunity of hearing Dr. Den-
nis Metrick speak on Automation. His
speech was entitled, "Automation — Its
Effect on Human Nature and its Mean-
ing for the Future." Dr. Metrick presides
over the fourth largest court in Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware Valley Court of Com-
mon Pleas. He also teaches at Villanova
and is a computer consultant. Because of
his vast experiences he has a well-
defined perspective on the automation
system and how it works.
Automation has existed since the be-
ginning when man discovered the use of
tools such as stones and sticks. As man's
intelligence grew, autonwjtion evolved
and found its part in agriculture and, sure
enough, into industry. Automation is liv-
ing energy replaced by living energy. As
we became more automated and com-
puters came into the scene, automation
has become thought replaced by thought.
What does all this mean? Well, three
things: an increase in efficiency, a de-
crease in labor, and job displacement.
Job displacement is a result of a de-
crease in labor. Now as we are in the
transitional stage of automation . the only
problem enountered is job displacement.
But as the system is refined, this problem
will virtually be non-existent. No matter
how you look at it, automation will not
cease, so go with the flow.
Keep your eyes open for future events
sponsored by the Pennsylvania Humani-
ties Council.

Hooters Concert — A sold out show
cont'd from page 1
a video, we will select a single off of the
record, that should be happening soon,
we're real excited about the new album
because it's our first national release, not
just an independent local record, but this
one if going to get a national distribution
and pronnotion, so hopefully we'll be
playing in new areas and trying to spread
what has happened in Philly. 1 think Phil-
adelphia needs to get a good band out
there anyway, it's like having a team go
to the Superbowl or the World Series,
we want to represent this area and our
fans here. There hasn't been a whole lot
of groups that have come out of Philly
that have gone that far, so that's what
we're trying to do. Spread the word.
[Eric] Spread the word.
Q. Do ^ou have trouble maintaining a
private life?
A. [Eric] There is no private life. Of
course it's difficult, fortunately most peo-
ple are respectful of our privacy when
we're not working, unfortunately not
everyone is. We do occasionally have
problems maintaining our individual lives
outside of this. [Rob] Because of TV we
are recognized more and more . [Eric] It's
flattering. [Rob] When we first went to
New York we were kind of glad to get
away from it, then after a couple of
weeks nobody was recognizing us. We
started worrying. I think of it as some-
thing we thrive on to some extent.
Q. All groups go through some rough
times, do \^ou think ];ours were any dif-
ferent, and how were they?
A. [Rob] Everybody goes through it,
we reached a certain |X)int where we just
stopped playing. We had been together
about two and a half years, we were
managing ourselves, and doing a lot of
work ourselves, there was a lot of
pressure on the band and creatively a lot
of frustration, so we stopped, that was a
painful period. We didn't play for six
months, we had to reorganize our whole
thing, it got too big for us to handle. It
was tough to find somebody else that
could handle the situation. We hooked
up with Steve Mountain, at that time it
was a big decision, we had a couple of
new players, we wrote a lot of new ma-
terial. I think we pulled the band back
together in a stronger way. You go
through those periods, they still happen,
like every couple of weeks you have a lit-
tle breakdown , ^meone has a personali-
ty thing or we have a bad night where we
hammer it out. It makes yqu stronger
and it nnakes you better, you look back
and the unit is tighter. I think that is part
of the process between Eric and 1, to
create the songs and to write this con-
stant dialogue, that is what makes it hap-
pen. [Eric] It's like a kind of relationship,
any kind of working, playing, living rela-
tionship. [Rob] We spend a lot of time
together and everybody has to respect
everybody else, has to be developing at
the same rate. We try to keep things as
open as possible. I think what happens
with bands, especially, is you get little cli-
ques and little tangents. We try and have
an open dialogue. Like if something is
bugging somebody it usually comes up
pretty quick, which is nice, we talk and
we're real open about that. I think espe-
cially with the lineup now, everybody is
really tuned into each other. Every night
before every show, like I mentioned, we
have a little "huddle," we kind of go
through a lot of different ideas that are
running through our heads, whatever it
may be. It becomes a spiritual kind of
thing, it pulls you through, it really docs.
It works.
The Hooters played nearly all of their
songs (old and new) . Among those were
"Amore," "Hanging on a Heartbeat,"
"Concubine," "Fighting on the Same
Side," and "Day by Day by Day." They
finished their set with one of their most
popular songs, "Blood from a Stone." At
the beginning of the fourth encore. Rob
Hyman asked "Isn't anybody going
home?" the audience replied "NO!" Rob
then screamed "THEN NEITHER ARE
WE!" They played a few more songs and
the show was over. You could feel the
energy radiating from the band during
the whole performance.
Music Trivia:
The answer to last week's music trivia
question "Who played synthesizers on
the Foreigner "4" album?" is Thomas
Dolby.

Flower Show Plans
Announced
DVC's exhibit at the 1985 Philadel-
phia Flower Show will feature a definite
international flavor.
The College will team with the Merrist
Wood Agricultural College of Surrey,
England to produce an exhibit entitled
"Our Garden Heritage."
This year's Philadelphia Flower Show,
sponsored by the Pennsylvania Horticul-
ture Society, will be held March 3rd-
March 8th. The overall theme of the
show is "A Touch of Britain."
Dr. John Martin. Chairman of the Or-
namental Horticulture Department, is
excited about the opportunity to work
with instructors and students from Mer-
rist Wood, a college very much like
DVC.
"This will be a fantastic learning ex-
perience for our students and myself,"
said Dr. Martin. "Hopefully, our visitors
from England will learn a few things
about our brand of horticulture here in
the United States and we in turn will
learn about their approach to horticulture."
The exhibit was designed by Kathleen
Askew, a student from Merrist Wood.
Martin and his students have been work-
ing to revise those plans, taking into ac-
count the peculiarities of the Philadelphia
Civic Center, while staying as close as
possible to the original concept. Askew,
along with three of her classmates (Rich-
ard Powell, Mark Dowle, and Andrew
King) and Geoff Ace, head of Merrist
Wood's Landscape Construction Depart-
ment, will arrive in Doylestown February
21 to assist in the actual construction of
the exhibit.
"We'll be trying to show how the
English have influenced American gar-
dening," said Dr. Martin. "We'll repro-
duce a typical old English cottage garden
as well as a more modern version all
within the same exhibit."
Because of the special nature of this
year's exhibit, DVC will not be part of the
usual Rower Show judging. Last year,
the College captured the Bulkley Medal,
sponsored by the Garden Club of Amer-
ica, for an exhibit displaying special merit
and/or education value. The theme of
last year's exhibit was "The Great Ameri-
can Mail Order Garden."

Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
This letter is being written on behalf of
the students who are subjected to "week-
end activities." With the installation of
the new policy there has been an in-
crease in the number of registered par-
ties, and therefore, an increase In the
amount of "socializing." Don't get us
wrong, we like to party, but the atmos-
phere at these parties is. to say the least,
"uncomfortable." With the ratio of men
to women being 4:1. a girl cannot help
but feel as though she is on display when
attending a party.
Everyone enjoys a certain amount of
attention, but no one should be sub-
jected to this visual and sometimes physi-
cal harassment. Often girls find it neces-
sary to attend parties in groups to avoid
these episodes, and some choose not to
attend at all. Everyone likes to mingle
and enjoy themselves, but it is hard to
have fun when you are trying to avoid a
potentially awkward situation. Sometimes
a friendly 'dance turns into a struggle to
maintain your dignity and self-respect.
While some girls thrive on this sort of
"attention," the majority of us find it
disgusting and degrading. And further-
more, we resent the fact that these few
are dictating the new "social norm" on
this campus.
While all do not fall into this category,
those that do should restrain themselves
(get a grip), so the rest of us can enjoy
ourselves in a more comfortable environ-
ment. Also. guys, if you see this happen-
ing, don't stand by and watch, give the
lady a hand.
Disgusted Women
Everyone having a good time
Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
Did you watch the music awards this
year? Were you surprised by the "new"
-category? It seems to me that this society
of ours which is supposedly trying to
eliminate prejudice is headed in the
wrong direction. The ALL black col-
leges, which are still in existence, are
tolerable. The United Negro College
Fund is pushing it a bit. But, when the
categories at the American Music Awards
include such things as "Best Black Video
by an All Black Group." "Best Black
Male Vocalist," etc.. etc. I feel that they
have gone too far! This is ridiculous!
What kind of category is BLACK?! To
qualify for this category the singers need
only have Black heritage, no matter what
kind of music they or their group per-
form. Reverse discrimination is a reality!
I'm not saying that the blacks were not
poorly treated in the past but to turn the
tables is just as wrong. Two wrongs will
never make a right! We cannot try to
make up for the past at the expense of
the present and the future. The only
reason to look at the past is to learn for
the future. Why can't people just live in
the present and accept all others for who
they are, regardless of their color, sex. or
religious preferences or anything else
that makes us the wonderfully unique
people that we are?

Media Center Open House Dear Editors
by E.D. Wengryn
On Monday, Feb. 11, Mrs. Davidson
of the Media Center hosted one of the
best open houses seen on campus. The
event, open to students, faculty, and
staff, contained foods that were out of
this worid. Mr. Meyer's cheesecake was
the biggest success of the day. Other
edibles included crackers and cheese,
homemade brownies, and cakes (choco-
late and chocolate chip), along with
pretzels, potato chips, trail mix. and
banana chips. There was also coffee,
tea, and soda (diet and regular).
The event was put together to show
off the Media Center and what they have
to offer such as the Seminar Room, the
colored transparency maker, the Kroy
letter machine, the laminater, as well as
the VCR and TV viewer. Many faculty
and staff were there so look for your
prof's to use some of the new ideas to
present their lecture material and maybe
class will be more interesting. Special
thanks goes out to everyone who helped
and to everyone who came!
Media Open House
PhcHo by Mrs, Davidson
Dear Editors,
1 want to use this forum to thank
whomever is responsible for the ongoing
construction to improve Caesar's Pub's
(formerly the Snack Bar's) atmosphere. I
think I speak for most commuters who
come in to sit, relax, talk, and maybe
even eat in Caesar's.
The seemingly new interest in upgrad-
ing the Student Center (which seemed to
lack warmth, to say the least, in its first
year of use) is greatly appreciated, but
the question which remains is: Why have
the hammering and sawing (which, of
course, is needed to complete the panel-
ing and carpentry, I know) occur during
peak lunch and relaxation hours? In"
other words, couldn't we have scheduled
the work to occur when few students are
trying to have a decent conversation, or
who are attempting to study and eat?
How about before and after lunch. Fur-
thermore, most of us would have been
happy with, say, a week or two of an-
noying pounding, shouting, and grinding
— but four weeks? What is the story
here?
1 would also like to ask the administra-
tion to be kind enough to inform us
when DVC is closed. We all know the
existence of the school closing number,
but it never seems to be used. I greeted
many a commuting student who weath-
ered all the hassles of driving on snow
and ice covered, unplowed roads —
some for twenty or more miles — only to
tell them it was a waste of their time
(Wednesday two weeks ago) .
Please don't ignore those of us who
don't live on campus.
A thankful commuter

LOSING THE LAND
"Just when we need it most, our
richest farmland is being chopped up for
housing developments and lost forever.
But a few provident farmers in Lancaster
County have found a way to save their
precious land."
The first step in the Lancaster County
program is to persuade township officials
to designate districts in which there can
be no more than four homes per lOO
acres.
Pennsylvania has been losing about
100.000 acres of farmland a year since
World War II, more has been said than
done. The state has at least 30 programs
on the books — none of which has stem-
med the loss.

Under the Yum-Yum Tree
Coining to DVC
Under the Yum-Yum Tree, an exu-
berant farce about a young couple shar-
ing an apartment under a vow of chasti-
ty, will be given at the Student Center
APR on Monday, February 25 beginning
at 7:30 p.m. The uninhibited comedy,
which ran on Broadway for 22 weeks,
will feature the Alpha-Omega Players,
well-known national touring company
from Texas.
Taking potshots at the modern fashion
for finding psychological adjustment,
Under the Yum-Yum Tree farsically
shows what happens when a girl who
feels drawn to a man wants to test the
compatibility of her romance before
marriage.
Robin is the girl who mistrusts her own
ardent yearnings toward an attractive
lawyer named Dave. She wants to make
certain that what she feels is not merely
an instinctive stirring.
She tells her fiance that "the true test
of a relationship isn't fun and games at all
but stress!" Stress is exactly what this
domestic but non -conjugal arrangement
produces.
The young lawyer is deprived of so
much sleep he is in danger of losing
clients and the promise of his whole
career. This peril ari^s not only because
of the giri's teasindy unworkable ar-
rangement but also because of the con-
stant intrusions of a busy-body neighbor
who calls himself Hogan and styles him-
self an irresisteWc magnet to women.
Paul R Pierce of the Repertory The-
ater of America has directed the laugh-
filled play, which was written by Law-
rence Roman. Tickets will be available at
the door. General admission price is $3.
Students get in FREE!
Snou) Removal Policy
and School Closing
Here is the snow removal policy for
those of you who are unaware of it:
1. Please refrain from parking in the
gravel area near Berkowitz Hall, since
they will plow all the snow into this
area.
2. If we have a heavy snowstorm, staff
members will attempt to completely
plow the student parking lot on Satur-
days. In order to do this, they are ask-
ing students to park their cars in the
lots behind the Agricultu-e Building
and Lasker Hall by noon on that Sat-
urday. Students should return their
cars to the main student parking lot on
Sunday.
The only way this will be accomplished
is with your cooperation.
School Closing
The College is included in radio and

DUKE'S DIARY
rm Sick of Hearing It
by Duke Blessing
1 am really starting to believe that some
people have a strong need to complain. 1
am really starting to believe that a good
percentage of the apathy on this campus
is directly attributable to that group of
people who complain but do nothing
about the situations at hand.
The complaint that I am going to tackle
today is: Why is the paper so small and
why is it so boring?
1. Most people that say this have nev^r
seen school papers outside of DVC
land. Most schools this size are on a
weekly or even a bi-weekly basis and
the papers that are larger usually have
journalism majors working on them.
2. Face the facts, with such a large per-
centage of this school involved with
agriculture — where is there anything
exciting happening around here?
Who really wants to read about Becky
the Bull producing 80.000 whatevers
of butterfat or the effort to name all of
our trees and shrubs on campus —
let's start with Moe. Larry, and Curly!
3. If the people that complained chan-
neled their energy into contributing,
we could have a much larger and in-
teresting paper.
in summary. 1 would personally like to
thank the dedicated workers on the staff.
It is a small person who sits back .^nd
complains, it is a big person who puts the
time and effort into something. Congrat-
ulations to us big people!
TEN GREAT MYTHS OF DVC
by Duke Blessing
1. All business majors are dumb. (/*//
remember that when I'm saumg you
thousands in taxes or going to court
for you.)
2. It is better to cheat than to repeat.
(Yes. but you can't cheat in a job in-
terview or in a job. they will find out
how much you really don't know.)
3. There is not enough room in the
library. (Only during finals is this
true, at all other times you can find
30 seats to your choosing.)
4 1 drink beer for the nutritional value.
(UH-HUH. and you smoke pot to
calm your nerves.)
5. Who needs graduate school, not
me. (You don't need it as long as
you don't desire a good job.)
6. The school food is not that bad!
(Yes. and $1400 is pocket change.)
7. All Ag majors smell like animals.
(No, I have met a few that don't.)
8. We don't need a pool. (This is true
as long as we have the post office
floor during the rain and snow
season.)
9. The Student Center has solved all of
the social-based problems on cam-
pus. (About as much as the Presi-
dent of the U.S. has solved the prob-
lems of the world.)
10. I can't wait for A-Day. (I also can't
wait for World War III.)

Kings Top Aggie Women,
73-48
by Duke Blessing
The DVC Women's Basketball team is
now all but mathematically eliminated
from the MAC playoffs as Kings capitalized
on the Aggies poor shooting to post a
73-48 victory.
The Aggies got off to a slow start and
trailed 21-3 at one point. Thanks to
some good defense and streak shooting,
the women went into halftime down by
only eight points at 35-27.
Another slow start at the outset of the
second half put the Aggies behind 55-33
where they never could challenge apan
Darcell Estep led the Aggies with 13
points, while Anita Willis and Mary Jo
Bush scored 10 points apiece.
The loss, the ninth in ten garn»'s.
drops the Aggies to 8-9 overall. 2-5 in
the league.
Aggie Women Drop FDU,

by Duke Blessing
The Women's Basketball team evened
their record at 9-9 (3-5 in the league) as

facets of the game.
Mary Jo Bush led the Aggies in scor-
ing with 23 points. Anita Willis added 10
points to the winning effort.

Listless Aggies Thumped
by FDU, 76-55
By Duke Blessing
Going into Wednesday night's game
against FDU the Aggies had a 10-10
record and a chance to finish with six
straight victories and a 14-10 record.
DVC is definitely going to have an up-
hill battle on their hands if they want to
finish the sca«)n with an over .500
record after the 76-55 loss to FDU.
Trailing only 41-28 at halftime. DVC

Pennsylvania Dairyman's
Association
The Pennsylvania Dairyman's Associ-
ation held their annual meeting awards
banquet January 15. 1985 at the Penn
Harris Motor Inn. Camp Hill, PA.
DVC's Brown Swiss herd was recog-
nized for its achieving the honor of being
the top DHIA herd in the state for milk,
fat. and protein production. This was
based on a 365 day rolling herd average
(RHA) actual production with ten cows
producing 16.394 lb. milk. 4.5% F. 731
lb. fat. and 3.8% P and 620 lb. protein.
The College's Ayrshires are producing
well compared to the state's Ayrshire
herds. They were second for protein,
third for milk, and fourth for fat produc-
tion. This was based on a 365 day RHA
actual production with 12 cows produc-
ing 14.451 lb. milk. 4.0% F. 571 lb. fat.
3.5% P and 499 lb. protein.
In 1983, the Dairy established the Stu-
dent Herdsman program with the objec-
tive to provide more indepth dairy herd
management training experience. These
are upperclass students that are respon-
sible for the milking, heat detection,
feeding and overall general management
of the herd, and two student employees
each morning's milking and part of the
weekends
In addition, the Dairy Senior Tech-
niques 11 Class manages Barn 2 cows
{1984's class - 26 students - 26 cows) for
three months.
We arc encouraged that our students
have pride in the dairy program and seek
to improve their dairy management skills
to such a point that their efforts can be
recognized at the state and local levels.
Also, much credit goes to James
Quartuccio for his diligent efforts as Herd
Supervisor.
The undying efforts of the College's
Administration can't be overly appreci-
ated or emphasized.
Aggie Women Upset
at Lycoming
by Duke Blessing
The DVC Women's Basketball team
traveled to Williamsport to take on a
Lycoming team with a 2-12 record (1-9
in the league).
Lycoming raised their record to 3-12
with a 74-71 victory over the visiting
Aggies.
Down by only two points at the half.
DVC fell behind by 16 points and could
not quite make up the difference.
Mary Jo Bush had a second consecu-
tive 23-point effort to lead the Aggies in
scoring. Kim Frey and Darcell Estep
scored 19 and 16 respectively.
The Aggies drop to 9-10 overall with
the loss. Their league record remains
3-5.

Senior Research at DVC
The following article is the first /n a
series of articles about the Senior Re-
search Program at DVC. The articles will
appear between now and the end of the
term.
The Senior Research Program at DVC
is a unique opportunit}^ available to all
qualified students. It is strongly recom-
mended for those considering graduate
school, professional school, or an indus-
trial research career.
This month's report is on a project b\;
Brian J. Roberts. He was born in Avon-
dale, Pennsylvania and grew up on a
small family farm. His interest in green-
house production began in 1 980.
Brian J. Roberts is the brain child
behind an innovative research project in
the field of hydroponics.
Hydroponics is a relatively new con-
cept in the greenhouse production of
fresh vegetables. The principle is simply
the supplying of nutrients to plants in
solution rather than in soil. After all. it is
the nutrients, not the soil itself, that
makes plants grow. Hydroponics on
paper sounds simple, but there are many
complications which limit the commercial
profitability of this process.
One of those complications is algae. It
feeds on the nutrient rich solution (algae
eats the same stuff as lettuce); once it
feeds, it multiplies. Such growth of algae,
in the pipes and gutters which carry the
solution, clogs the capillary tubes which
feed the plants, thus robbing the plant of
food, and the greenhouse owner of prof-
it. Nobody wants to raise algae.
Brian's experiment addresses this
problem. He says that not much has
been done as far as research in this area,
because it is not yet commercially profit-
able. At this point, there is no algae-
cide specifically labeled for this type of
problem.
Hopefully, as the popularity of hydro-
p>onics increases, one of these algaecides
which are currently on the market will
change its label. Brian's greater hope is
that this label change will be in some way
the result of his research.
Dear Aggie
Dear Aggie,
Here's the situation: I have a crush on
this giri — big tirtie! She knows it but 1
really get the impression it doesn't mat-
ter. I'm just one of the sheep in the flock
of many. I'm not the best looking guy on
campus but I am fun and have access to
more things than most people. The prob-
lem: Should I win her with money and
good times or treat her normal?
Going Bonkers
Dear Bonkers,
Any girl who has to be won over with
money is not worth the buck in your
wallet. Find a shepherd whose flock is
few and just act like yourself.
Aggie

who did, thanks.

Dear Editors
Dear Editora,
In response to the absurd letter written
by Tim Ireland, I would like to defend
blacks. I agree only on one point. There
should be no special categories for musi-
cians. If you are superior, you should be
praised no matter what your color. But
Timmy. you didn't do your homework.
First of all, if you even begin to presume
for one second that there is reverse dis-
crimination in this powerful white world
you must be sick! Until you have been in
a black's shoes, you cannot begin to im-
agine how #iey are treated. Second,
what does an all black college have to do
with your little music? In case you have
forgotten Timmy ole' buddy, blacks had
to originate their own colleges because
whites didn't want them in theirs. And
who has given you the authority to say
it's tolerable? We don't need your opin-
ion! And why is the United Negro Col-
lege Fund pushing it a bit? The only
whites I see giving money for blacks to go
to college are the recruiters who desper-
ately need them for their athletic teams,
in order to keep their own jobs mind
you. It is far too obvious that you are
very ignorant on the subject of the treat-
ment of blacks. Most blacks do not have
and never have had (due to previous his-
torical happenings) the financial resources
to attend college, so why is someone
helping blacks pushing it a bit? Face it
Timmy, most whites don't need the help.
And Timmy, if I was smart like I thought I
was. I would not be in a farm school but
rather an academically sound black uni-
versity. And finally Tim, why don't you
come on down to my neighborhood and
tell some of the fellas they don't need the
Negro Fund. I'm sure you'd have a very
interesting day.

Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
In reply to the "Disgusted Women" in
last week's editorials, I feel that you have
a lot of growing up to do!
If you feel like you arc on display at
the new social activities, it is only because
you wanted to!
These new registered parties are de-
signed to keep the students on campus
on the weekend. The parties allow
everyone to have a chance to blow off
steam by socializing and dancing and
that is all! The parties are not designed to
have girls lose their dignity and self-
respect. It is up to the individual if she
wants to lose her self-respect.
If you can't go to a party and have a
good time because the guys are drooling
over you, then you should've gone to an
"All Girls School!" 1 myself enjoy the 4: 1
ration!
4:1 and I am winning!
Future Farmers of America
Did you notice the FFA displays in the
library? How about people wearing FFA
stickers? Maybe you heard Debbie Pom-
eroy and our own Mr. Morris on the local
radio? If so. that's because the Future

tional FFA Week during Feb. 16-23.
The FFA has been preparing people
for careers in agriculture since 1928.
With it.i attention for preparing for tomor-
row, the FFA intends to reach and main-
tain a standard of excellence that will

Movies
by Rosemary Kluth
The three-day weekend gave my boy-
friend and I a chance to relax and go to
the movies. We saw about half of Heaven
Help Us. When we walked into the the-
ater we knew nothing about it besides
that it's about a Catholic boy's school.
What we found out was, to put it bluntly,
it stunk! The movie was offensive and
made a mockery of the Catholic church
(which would have been ok if it was fun-
ny) . The plot also left a lot to be desired.
Nothing happened in the half we saw.
We were both dying to leave except we
paid $10 to see it. Luckily, the film kept
breaking so we and quite a few other
people walked out and got our money
back. We were so happy when we left
that we didn't waste our time and money
on such a terrible movie.
But wait a minute! We did see a great
movie. The Breakfast Club. This movie
was about five teenagers who had Satur-
day detention. They ail had to spend the
whole day sitting in the library. They
were all different types: one a jock,
another a brain, another a basketcase,
another a burnout. The movie involved
them learning about themselves, their
parents, and each other. One thing they
learned was that they weren't really that
different. It was interesing, touching, and
amusing. Everyone should see it.

DUKE'S DIARY
-That Lousy Pig Poo|> Smell"
by Duke Blessing
Dedicated to the people who still feel
the cafeteria is part of the farm.
Walking down the road
towards that place to eat,
mv nose started to curl
as the smell was worse than feet.
Yes, feet, \^ou know
long things with five toes,
much smaller than an arm
much larger than a nose.
I got inside the cafe
as the smell went aioay.
but here came the troops
who in the poop they plaii.
I sat in the back
and thought it would do well,
how can an^fone eat
with that lousi/ pig poop smell.
Five minutes later
I then ran out of luck,
the food that went down so good
soon left with or\e upchuck.
Oh please, oh ple(Ke, I beg
wash \/our hands and feet real well,
it's not fair to the rest of us
to whif ^our pig poop smell.

Aggies Tie 14-Year Old
Victory Mark
By Duke Blessing
Coach Les Lombard! and his team
tied a 14-year standing record for vic-
tories as the Aggies defeated Drew Uni-
versity 79-78.
The last time DVC won 12 games was
back in 70-71.
The Aggies finish the season at 12-12
with a 6-10 league mark — not too bad
for a team made up of 11 freshmen!
Against Drew, Dodd Walker led the
team in scoring with 22 points. John
Boone continued his second-half ram-
page scoring 20. Marvin Emerson and
Derrick McCarter added 15 and 10
respectively.
Next week's paper will include an in-
terview and. post-season wrap-up with
Coach Les Lombardi.
AGGIE WRESTLERS WIN
MAC CHAMPIONSHIP
by Duke Blessing
Lycoming College has been the MAC
champion in each of the last two years by
narrowly defeating the A^ies.
With DVC losing such outstanding
wrestlers as Mark Sands, Troy Marshall,
Tony Tarsi, and Bruce Stranjrah, the
'84- '85 Aggies did not kxjk like a team
ready to challenge for the championship.
But with the combinations of hard
work and determination and second
semester transfers filling some gaps, this
Aggie team traveled to Widener Univer-
sity with one thought in mind — winning
the championship that they had been
denied the past two years.
The Aggies turned the tables on Ly-
coming and the rest of the conference as
they scored 113.75 points to win the
championship. Lycoming was second
with 108|X)ints.
Freshman Shaun Smith was named
the Mo^ Outstanding Wrestler of the
tournament as he won all four of his
bouts by technical falls at the 142 pound
weight cla^.
Dan Canale earned the right to defend
his AIl-American title as he won an indi-
vidual title at 126 pounds.
Another freshman, Tracy Snyder,
won the championship at 150 pounds
and along with Smith and Canale, will be
heading to the Nationals next week.
Also contributing to the winning effort
were Drew Brophy, second at 158
pounds; Steve Canale, third at 134
pounds; Tom Long, fifth at 167 pounds;
Bob Cook, fifth at 177 pounds.
Looking ahead to next year, the Ag-
gies do not lose anyone from this cham-
pionship squad. The rest of the league
had better be watching out!
Good luck to Smith, Canale, and
Snyder and let's hope for three All-
Americans!
Editor's Note: I hope this is suitable,
if not, try writing 72* of material each
week. It's not as easy as it may look.
Aggie Women Defeat
Upsala to Even Record
by Duke Blessing
In a game that the DVC women had
to win for a shot at a winning season this
year, the Aggie women came through
with a 78-75 victory at Upsala College.
Doris McNeil hit a 14-foot jumper with
14 seconds left and Mary Jo Bush sank
two free throws to seal the victory.
Mary Jo Bush led the Aggies in scor-
ing with 24 fxjints. Kim Frey, Darcell
Estep, and Doris McNeil scored 18, 15,
and 13 respectively.
The win evens the Aggies overall at
10-10 and raises their conference record
to 4-5.
Aggie Women Cap Off
Winning Season
by Duke Blessing
The DVC Women's Basketball team
did something that had not been done in
eight previous seasons — they finished
the season with a winning record (11-10
overall, 5-5 league).
It is also important to mention that the
women were only a few breaks away
from a 14 or 15 win season and a spot in
the playoffs.
The Aggies opened up an 18-point
halftime lead against Drew University
and coasted to a 79-55 victory.
Mary Jo Bush and Doris McNeil led
the Aggies with 14 points apiece. Kim
Frey and Darcell Estep scored 12 each
and Anita Willis chipped in with 10
points.
Next week's paper will contain an In-
terview and post-season wrap-up. with
Coach Gary Pento.

DVC Defeats
Nationally Ranked
Lycoming, 63-51
by Duke Blessing
Head Coach Les Lombardi could not
have picked a better opponent to defeat
to tie his personal best for victories than
national power Lycoming College.
Lycoming entered the game ranked
No. 12 in the NCAA Divisran III and
they looked it as they jumped out to 8-0
and 12-2 leads. The Aggies fought back
to tie the game and even took a 29-23
lead into halftime.
DVC jumped out to a 12-point lead
but Lycoming cut It to three, at 46-43,
with three minutes remaining.
The Aggies then went on a mini-tear
and upped the lead to nine on the way to
a 63-51 victory.
John Boone scored 18 points to lead
the Aggies while Dodd Walker chipped
in with 15.
The victory raises the Aggies overall
record to 11-12 and league record to
5-10.

DUKE'S DIARY
"Sweet Country Aroma**
Dear Mr. Blessii^,
I, like other students, do not approve
of the way you make accusations and
would like to point out a few things;
however, I am not going to be as unsub-
tle as you have been in the past.
First, this is an agricultural college that
bases its learning on hands on experi-
ence. This is in the form of our Tech-
niques. Judging, Feeding, and Nutrition
classes. To be able to practice these
things which we leam in the classroom,
we must maintain animals here at the
school. That requires us to take care of
them daily. The smell comes with the ter-
ritory when animals are involved.
Secondly, you like to complain and
cut up the students who work at the
Dairy and Farm 3, but remember this:
only 3-5% of the U.S. population feeds
the entire nation and most of the world
for that matter. One time at a convention
that I was attending, a lady stood up and
stated, "Who needs the farmer, I get my
food at the store." If you have this theory
of thinking, you are gravely mistaken.
I'm sure that other people don't like the
smell and 1 myself notice it, but would
you rather put up with a little "pig poop"
smell or be without ham. bacon, or pork
chops? Also, Mr. Hepner. other faculty,
and the heads of our work study depart-
ments devised a way to reduce the smell.
It's not as bad as what it could be!
Finally, some of the students help take
care of these animals, and our schedules
are worked around our classes. This
forces us to eat when we come back
from work. I get done working at 6 p.m.
and 1 don't have the money to go out to
eat everytime that 1 work, if you don't
like the way we smell, you could give us
money to go out to eat, or better yet,
come down to the farm and help us get
done early so that we can take a shower
before we come to the cafe.
If you are not used to these country
aromas at your house, you are sorely
missing the broadest and most rewarding
industry in Pennsylvania and throughout
the U.S. - AGRICULTURE.
r Sincerely,
Brian E. Fleisher
COMING
NEXT ISSUE
Results of
Sex Poll
Dear Mr. Fleisher,
First of all, 1 would like to extend my
congratulations to you for being the only
person who has taken the time to write a
letter concerning opposing views. You
have a good writing style and* the paper
could use someone like you (that's a sub-
tle hint — Monday nights at 7 p.m. in the
Ram Pages office).
I do agree with most of what you say
but I'll get to that later.
To the thin-skinned Ag majors who
have for some reason been offended by
recent articles and/or poems, my objec-
tive in writing somewhat sarcastic or off-
colored pieces is not to knock down or
belittle any group or individual — it is an
attempt to breath some fresh air into
what is becoming a stale environment
(no side meaning intended) .
You would be interested to know just
how small of a minority you are in.
Some administrators, staff and faculty,
and many students look forward to
something funny and have patted me on
the back and said how much they enjoy
reading "The Diary." For fvery one
negative comment I hear, 1 get about ten
positives! Not a bad ratio eh?! Even some
Ag majors enjoy the zinging — oh well,
you can't please all of the people!
Brian, let me explain something to
you and the gang. For over three years
now. I have been hearing the bull about
the business major and I have never
bitched (this doesn't concern your letter) .
You all say how we sleep all day and
play all night. Is there anything wrong
with getting a little even? The Ag gang
says that this is DVC of Science and Ag-
riculture, not of Business. Most schools
offer much more than is written in its
name. Philadelphia Textile has an ex-
cellent business program. Face the facts
— in sheer numbers, the business de-
partment has grown every year as Ag
slowly drops in numbers. I never have
said we don't need farmers but many
farmers feel they'll never need business
majors.
Well guys, if you ever plan on making
money you will probably need: a banker,
accountant, lawyer and financial plan-
ner/stock broker — most of them are
business graduates! We need you but
you also need us. Think about this: Right
now. a group of business majors in
Washington (Congress) are about to
decide the fate of literally hundreds of
thousands of farms — quite a bit of
power for the B.S. in Bus. Adm!
And as far as the business major here
at this school, those of us at the top of
the class are looking at Ivy League
graduate schools and/or Fortune 5(X)
companies. Another -figure to ponder —
the average graduate of an MBA pro-
gram at top ten schools with a few years

Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
I am writing to apologize to anyone
who was offended by mv letter of two
weeks ago. I felt as though it was tasteful-
ly written or I would not have submitted
it. It has become obvious to me. after
reading^the letter in last weeks paper that
some of the readers misunderstood my
point. The MAIN point of my letter was
that no one should be judged according
to their sex. ethnic group, or religion! I'm
glad that someone stepped forward to
defend blacks but I don't see the need I
wasn't attacking blacks! I was attacking
the backwards society we live in . I believe
that NOTHING should he totally exclu-
sive. That is why the United Negro Col-
lege Fund crept into my last letter, be-
cause to the best of my knowledge it is
available only to blacks. 1 am not totally
ignorant to the plight of the black man
and woman in today's society I simply
feel that there is no way to make up for
mistakes of the past! We must live in the
present and for the future! Last but not
least, in reference to "my opinion." we
need everyone's opinion! A person's
opinion is just one more of the things that
makes each and everyone of us unique.
Once again. 1 apologize for any mis-
understandings. And. now that you
know some of what I was tfiinking when
I wrote the original letter. 1 invite you to
reread it. I'm sure it will make more
sense and be less offensive. If the etlitors
have room 1 would like for them to re-
print the original letter for anyone who
does not save their paper. I am also sorry
that this letter did not appear in last
week's paf)er but. due to the irresponsi-
bility of the editors. I was not notified
before my name was slandered all over
the front page! If I'm not mistaken, the
policy of this paper is to notify anyone
whose name appears in an article BE-
FORE publication so that they liavn a
chance to rebuttle in the same issue.
PS If the author of last week's letter
would like to talk. I am open minded
and relatively eas\j to find.
Sincerely.
Tim Ireland

The Editors' Desk:
To Tim Ireland, we sincerely apologi/.e

A TOUCH OF BRITAIN AT DVC?!!
A Touch of Brittiiii in Our Ciardett
Heritage
by Leslie E. Blatt &
Joe Ferry
For two weeks. DVC was touched by
a bit of the British. Four graduated stu-
dents and their instructor arrived on
Thursday. Feb. 21. from Merrist Wood
Agricultural College in Surrey. England,
to join in on a combined effort with stu-
dents at DVC on a Philadelphia Flower
Show exhibit entitled "Our Garden
Heritage."
Miss Kathleen Askew. Mr. Richard
Powell. Mr. Mark Dowle. Mr. Andrew
King and Mr. Geoff Ace, Head of the
Landscape Construction Department at
Merrist Wood, along with approximately
30 students and several faculty members
from DVC began the actual work on the
Philadelphia Flower Show exhibit on
Saturday, Feb. 23. The exhibit featured
an old English garden which has evolved
over the y 2ars to the more modem gar-
den found in England today. Many of to-
day's American gardens reflect the British
characteristics and designs which have
become an important part of our garden
heritage.
"We tried to show how the English
have influenced American gardening,"
said Dr. Martin, Chairman of the Orna-
mental Horticulture Department. "We
reproduced a typical old English cottage
garden as well as a more modern version
all within the same exhibit."
This year's exhibit was much bigger
than anything the College has attempted
at the Flower Show in the past. Covering
1 .700 square feet, using 17 tons of stone
and three truckloads of earth life, along
with hundreds of different types of plant
material, the total cost of the exhibit was
approximately $7,000. Normally, the
College budgets nearly $5,000 for the
Flower Show The Pennsylvania Horti-
cultural Society contributed some funds
to make up the difference. The cost of
the exhibit would have been considerably
higher if not for the fact that 75 percent
of the plant material was donated by
DVC graduates.
Because of the special nature of this
year's exhibit. DVC was not part of the
usual Flower Show judging, although we
did receive the Herb Society's award for
the best use of herbs in a display.
Preparing for the Flower Show begins
a year in advance. Ideas are thrown
around and a design is created. This
year, Dr. Martin, prodded by the Flower
Show's designer, Ed Lindemann, a DVC
graduate, decided to contact an English
agriculture school to ask if it would like to
join in developing an exhibit design.
With a little arm-twisting, this proposal
brought a "yes" from Merrist Wood.
Their school is similar to DVC, not only
in size, but in its hands-on approach to
agriculture and horticulture teaching.
Merrist Wood also has been a regular ex-
hibitor at Britain's famed Chelsea Flower
Show, held outdoors every May.
Several designs were submitted by stu-
dents at Merrist Wood and the one that
was chosen was designed by Kathleen
Askew. Dr. Martin and his students
worked to revise those plans, taking into
account the peculiarities of the Philadel-
phia Civic Center (the site of the Flower
Show) , while staying as close as possible
to the original concept. After the design
was all set. it was up to DVC to get the
plant materials for the garden and force
Our British co-workers (1 to r): Mark Dowle, Andy King. Kathleen Askew. Prof.
Geoff Ace and Richard Powell.
them. When Prof. Ace and his students
saw the plant materials upon their arrival
in the U.S.. they seemed quite pleased.
Dr. Martin was also pleased with the ap-
pearance of our plant materials except
for the linden tree which never forced
and is now mukh for the annual display
garden.
The resulting garden was that of "one
very oldy worldy type of garden, maybe
associated with a stone cottage back
home." said Ace, and a "much more for-
mal garden with a circular lawn." A side-
walk of "creizy paving" - stones inter-
locked in a random style - wound through
hundreds of herbs and flowers set be-
tween drystone walls, and the exhibit
even had a stone "keep" - the simulated
ruin of an ancient archway - with plants
growing from its cracks. It was definitely
a truly outstanding exhibit.
The highlight of the two weeks for
those of use who were involved with the
Flower Show was simply the making of
some super friends and an educational
experience we'll never forget.
To Mark, Richard, Andy and Kathleen
- keep in touch with all of us at DVC and
I'll see you in May at Chelsea.

PHOTOGRAPHY DISPLAY
If you are a connoisseur of fine
photography, you'll want to come see
the curreiat library display of nauti-
cal and wildlife profiles snapped by
talented faculty member. Mr. Michael
Tabachnick.
Members of the library staff are
always anxious to encourage creative
individuals to loan their arts and crafts
for our monthly exhibits. Remember
our big Wizard of Oz exhibit several
years ago? It all started with some stu-
dents urging a friend to tell us about a
unique collection he had of Oz books
and Judy Garland memorabilia.
So, if you have a hobby or a collec-
tion from whk;h we could des^n a
small exhibit, stop in to see us!
PS. Would the FF.A Club pletne
come to pick up their exhibit m(^rials.

Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
I'm a sophomore who is very sorry
that he spent his money on the sopho-
more dinner dance. It was obviously a
very cheap package that was bought.
The buffet ran out of food and it wasn't
replenished, not to mention the fact that
the last table to eat only had 15 minutes
until they clewed the buffet. The chairs in
the hall were torn and our table was
made of plywood.
The D.J.'s also left something to be
desired. They were obviously amateurs.
They played scratched records and often
stopped the songs before they were
finished.
The worst part of the evening was that
no one seemed to associate with each
other. 1 got the impression that many of
us didn't know each other. This is due to
the lack of class events for the sopho-
more class. Let's try in the future to have
more things to do together so we get to
know the other sophomores better.
Sincerely,
A Disgruntled Sophomore
Out From Under
The Editors' Desk:
A great deal of debate has occurred
over the recent sex poll in the Feb. 25
issue of Ram Pages. The responses have
been greatly mixed. Some responses
have been "Wow. something interesting
in the paper." "Who cares?" and "Where
do you people get your morals." The
reasoning behind the article was to get
people interested in the paper and in the
school. The article worked, proof of that
is shown by the lack of extra copies
around campus (we ordered 100 more
than usual). To the people we have of-
fended, we offer our sincerest apologies
for bringing up such a touchy subject for
them. If you notice, there is a "moral"
response choice for each question . Most
of the responses have been positive, but
to the response "What would the Chris-
tian Fellowship think?," a member of the
Fellowship wrote the poll.
We welcome all responses, it shows
that people do care about what goes on .
We would also like to say that a per-
son need not be a member of the news-
paper staff to have an article published in
the paper. If a person doesn't like the
material in the paper, we suggest submit-
ting their own material. They only need
to sign an article and put it in Box 988.
Names are withheld if requested. We
reserve the right to not publish articles
due to content.
Thank ^ou,

Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
I thought the sex poll you printed was
quite funny. I've been anxiously awaiting
the results. I'm glad to see Ran) Pages
getting down to some real dirt, after all
basketball scores and movie and record
reviews get a little tiring. I've heard a few
bad comments from people who found
the poll offensive and distastefully done.
Lighten up! I feel the poll was printed
with the hopes of sparking some interest
in the paper and providing a little enter-
tainment. I don't think the poll was printed
with the serious intent of digging into
people's private lives or condeming any-
one. Keep up the good work Ram Pa^s.
Sincerely,
Ram Hines
Prkitahle Response
Love and sex, sex and love. Love,
love, love. Sex. sex, sex. It's ail I want, it
is all I need. For you, for me, let sex be.
For without it, there would only be an
Adam and an Eve.

Dear Editors
Dear Disgruntled Sophomore,
First, I would like to say that your opi-
nion is of no value to me because you do
not have the guts to sign your name to
your letter. Secondly, why can't you tell
me your complaints up front in person,
through my mail box or in the question-
naire that i sent out to every sophomore.
Personally 1 believe that you are just tak-
ing small trivial things and making a big
argument out of the dinner dance. Third-
IF I START TO PAU
ASLEEP TORAY,MARCIEJAP
ME Urm YOUR RULER...
HAVING TROUBLE COMMUNICATING? IF YOUR WORDS AREN'T GETTING YOUR MESSAGE ACROSS COME TO
THE DVC WRITING CENTER FOR INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTION SEE DR. HEATH. LASKER 18. FOR SCHEDULING.
ly, I would like to give you the classes
opinion on the dinner dance — out of
300 questionnaires I received 33 back.
The results were as follows: Did you en-
joy yourself? 27 yes, 6 no; Did you like
Bentley's? 18 yes. 9 no, 6 undecided;
Did you like the food? 20 yes. 11 no, 2
undecided; Did you get enough? 7 yes,
26 no; Did you feel the price was reason-
able? 18 yes, 14 no, 1 undecided; Did
you enjoy the DJ? 18 yes, 12 no, 3 un-
decided; Did he play the right songs? 19
yes, 13 no, 1 undecided; Did he create a
party atmosphere? 17 yes. 16 no; Over-
all did you feel that the dance was a suc-
cess? 20 yes, 11 no, 2 undecided.
Granted these are not all the ques-
tions, but they are the major ones in
which you argue your point out. Now
that you have the facts you can make
your own decision on whether or not the
dance was a success. Personally, I
thought it went well with a few excep-
tions which we can change next year, but
without suggestions from the class I can-
not know what you or the class wants. It
is not that hard to find me or any officer
or send it in the mail. Or is it?!?
As for the food, I too was disap-
pointed in the quantity and I was told
that there would be enough food to feed
200 people and I know there was not
enough and Bentley's will also know be-
cause I was sent a questionnaire to fill
out. Oh, and by the way, you are wel-
come to read It, just stop by and I will
show you it. As far as your chair and
table you can take that to Bentley's. I
have no authority over your ripped chair
and plywood table, but if you notice,
most banquet halls give a cheaper table
because they never know what will hap-
pen at banquets. Next time I will make
sure to check your table and chairs
before you sit down!
As far as the DJ. it sounds as if you are
perfect and that just because they made
three mistakes they are crucified. I truely
believe that everyone is entitled to a few
mistakes when you're just starting and
playing to a new crowd and as far as
songs running into one another, profes-
sionals do it that way to keep the dancing
beat going. Apparently you have not
been to too many good dance halls.
Finally, as to your last comment about
class activities and the feeling of being
non-sociable, did you personally make
any effort to talk to other tables or asso-
ciate with other groups or did you just sit
in a corner and sulk? As for class events,
last semester the class held Spirit Day in
which we were to wear hats. Haunted
House which we did and only a handful
of class members helped to put it on. a
Pizza Night, and finally the Dinner Dance
plus open invitations to class meetings
and if you had any suggestions or com-
ments to drop them off in my mailbox or
to see any class officer. Do you need a
special invitation? Well here is one. on
April 18 we will be having a Pizza &
Movie Night in the dining hall starting at
7p.m. with the movie beginning around
9 p.m. in Mandell 114 and if you cannot
make that then on May 6 we will have a
Hawaiian Luau at the YMCA -in Doyles-
town with free admission to those who
put three or more hours towards A- Day
and if you are not able to work on A- Day
a $2 charge at the door to get in.
If you believe that this is not enough,
where are your suggestions?
I would like to leave you with one
thing, the administration had a lot to say
about our dance, they enjoyed it im-
mensely. I quote Mrs. Feldstein who
said, "this has been one of the most en-
joyable dinner dances that I have been to
in a long time." Dr. and Mrs. Mertz said,
and I quote. "It gives us such great plea-
sure to see everybody having such a
good time." Apparently everyone and
even you pulled the wool over their eyes
when you say that you and the class had
a bad time. Think about it. do you ac-
tually know what you saying?!?
Sincerely,
Beth Meny
Class of 87 President
GOOD NEWS!
L,A, is not the onli^ beer
DVC drinks!
DVC students began this new semester
with a new approach to partying. No
longer would there be room searches, no
longer would parties have to be off in a
corner, no longer would students have to
sneak around like children hiding from
their parents.
From the start of the semester regis-
tered parties became a weekly event.
Everyone enjoyed the new approach.
Then suddenly it stopped. The last
weekend in February saw two parties
concealed. Why? Then student's atti-
tudes began to change. Despair replaced
the eagerness of the early part of the
term. Why? instead of enjoying the
weekend here on campus students were
leaving again. Why?
"They had a good thing going but they
ruined it," students remarked. What
happened? Students will tell you that the
Social Board is requiring all registered
parties to serve only Low Alcohol Beer
and students don't like it "L.A. Beer is
for Sunday morning before church.'
someone said.
What actually has happened though is
the result of bad communications.
The Social Board cannot make any
mandates requiring what type of beer is
to be served at registered parties. The of-
ficial position of the College is stated in
Memorandum *l-85. which everyone
received on registration day. The bottom
line comes down to student responsibility.
The College is not going to encourage
the consumption of alcohol. But the Col-
lege is not denying reality either. Mr.
Tasker sums it up. "If you are going to
drink, do it responsibly." That is why the
recommendation was made to serve
LA. Beer at the larger open parties: to
allow for the consumption of alcohol in
the most mature and responsible way. to
keep in mind those who are driving, and
those under 21 who can't legally drink
anyway. The College is trying to keep a
good focus on the entire issue of alcohol.
While the College deals with alcohol in
its reality on campus, the students are
facing it from another angle Many feel
cheated, like a good thing was happen-
ing and suddenly it was taken away.
Already the speak-easy type of parties
are reappearing, and many students are
going home on weekends. Some may
even transfer out. this is not a small
issue.
But these feelings are not founded on
facts. Coach Wilson and the rest of the
Social Board want to see this issue dealt
with. There are a great many ideas in the
air, a pub on campus? A dance hall?
And whatever else a College can have.
Coach Wilson wanted to see the Hooters
concert video taped and played back at a
Hooters Dance after the show. Some
students wondered why it didn't happen.
There is really no limit to what great
things could happen here at DVC. We
have to start from where we are. figure
out where we want to be. and make it
happen. We have a great many faculty
members and responsible students who
want positive results to come from this
semester's new approach.
Talk to people, like Coach Wilson,
they'll listen. They want to make DVC a
home away from home.
And remember — the issue is not the
kind of beer we drink, it is the responsi-
bility we show and the maturity we dis-
play that will ultimately determine the
course we take from here.
Let's go for it.

DVC BENCHES BUILT
WITH TLC
by Bill Rein
First the benches disappeared. Then
went the bleachers. But don't worry
folks, it was all for a good cause.
If you happened to wonder where
those old. institutional green benches,
which were once found all around cam-
pus, disappeared to. you should go over
and see our resident senior carpenter,
John Herbst. He has actually recycled
good lumber and old metal bench sup-
ports, added some ingenuity only a sea-
soned carpenter could add. and has
turned them into something money can-
not buy anymore — quality furniture.
According to the Maintenance Depart-
ment's Jim Tooley. the Receiving De-
partment had gathered up all our old
benches and salvaged some wood plank-
ing from old baseball field bleachers
(which, by the way, are due to be re-
placed soon). Maintenance was to try
and use what they could to zap some life
into the rotting benches. Mr. Herbst
found the bleacher planks to be excellent
seasoned yellow pine and fir. Integral
leg-and-back supports were removed
from each bench (some of which "looked
like they were ready for the dumpster."
Mr. Tooley said) . The layers of old green
paint were removed, and the supports
were repainted. Benches not needing
new wooden slats were of especially
solid oak. which. Mr. Herbst noted, you
just cannot find anymore. The oak was
sanded to bare wood and was revamished
three times, leaving a clear, protected
natural wood grain.
Nevertheless, many of the benches
were so old and in such sad shape from
years of exposure to both weather ex-
tremes and extreme people, that their
wooden slats had to be replaced if
anyone was going to use them as seats
again! This posed no obstacle for John
Herbst. who took the old bleacher
planks, cut them into bench-sized slats,
filled their old bolt holes with solid wood
dowels to fit. sanded them smooth, and
gave them three coats of glowing var-
nish. Believe me. these benches look like
reproductions of an antique. And yet.
they cost us nothing except some shiny
new bolts, paint and sandpaper. In re-
turn we got John Herbst's expert crafts-
manship and his co-workers got first
hand knowledge on quality carpentry.

Under the Yum Yum Tree
Last Monday night the Repertory
Theater of America came to DVC to per-
form Lawrence Roman's Under the Yum
Yum Tree.
The play, staged in two acts, is an off-
beat comedy about a college freshman.
Robin Austin, and her fiance. Dave Man-
ning. Robin is struggling over her rela-
tionship with Dave because she ques-
tions her motives for loving him. She
doesn't want a purely physical relation-
ship, so she arranges to have him
plutonicly live with her for the summer.
A plan destined for failure.
Happily, however, for the audience,
the plan is also comical. Especially the
character Hogan: He is charming and
clever landlord, a real terror of the ten-
nants in this case: Jeffery Whitman does
a brilliant job of portraying this crazy
character. Hogan is the type of person
that is simply hard to understand. He is
almost too much to handle, but he is still
warm enough that people tolerate his
antics.
Hogan only agitates Robin's plan to
put her love to the test. What test?
Stress, of course, and stress she gets.
The Repertory Theater of America is
based in Rockport. Texas. All the actors
are professional They have been under
contract since August 26. and after six
weeks of rehearsal, hit the road to tour
the country.

PROFILE: Mantis, a local band on the
rise, a three part mini-article. 1 have
recently had the opportunity to spend
some time with the band and interview
the band. The guys made me feel like 1
was a long lost friend. They were really
psyched for the interview. Here is part of
the interview.
Mantis are:
John Bateman (Bass, Vocals)
Steve Cermanski (Keyboards.
Lead Vocals)
Mike Natalini (Drums, Vocals)
Ira Sherman (Guitar, Vocals)
Q: What year was MANTIS formed?
A: [Ira] Mantis was formed in 1979.
Q: Who started the band
A: As far as who started the band, it was
Steve and I. We used to be down in his
basement rehearsing songs together, and
we started trying owt different people.
We have been through eleven different
drummers, we finally got somebody.
(Mike) Wait a minute, I heard it was fif-
teen. (Ira] after ten you forget. Michael is
the one that has really stuck with us and
he is really doing a heck of a job, I must
say so. (John) Mike will be with us two
years in June. (Mike, jokingly] Two
years too long!
Q: When and wh\^ did pou decide on the
name MANTIS?
A: [Ira] In 1979 Stephanie Stern came
up with the name. She's done promo-
tion for us and she came up with the
name. [Mike] She has done some writ-
ing for us too. [Ira] She has done differ-
ent articles for us and she's worked with
us. As to why the name, I guess it is be-
cause of the logo of the Preying Mantis.
A logo means a lot to a band. [Mike]
Mantis, a band that doesn't have to pray
to be heard!
Q: Describe i;our music. (A stereo had
been ph\;ing a Mantis demotape in the
background. Ira turned the volume up,
everyone laughed.)
A: [John] We like to think that we have a
good rhythm backbone and meaningful
lyrics, good melodies and harmonies.
We like pleasing people. We don't sound
like anybody else. We are Mantis and I
think we have a sound of our own as
compared to other groups. [Mike] When
we first came out with the single, people
from where I work said it sounded like
Led Zepplin and Def Leppard, whereas
the flip side (the ballad) sounds nowhere
near those two groups. It is Mantis. We
do everything from ballads to danceable
tunes. [John] Our music is original — it is
unique.
Q: What is the title of your new single?
A: The title of our next single is "One of
the Boys." I would describe it as a dance
song with a good steady rcx:k beat. The
song is about a girl who. in your eyes, is
just one of the boys, you know she is
always hanging out with the guys.
Q: Who writes your material?
A: [Ira] Steve and 1 write the stuff. Steve
usually comes up with the lyrics and I will
come up with the melody, with the help
of Michael and John. John comes up
with a lot of the arrangements for the
songs. [John] Lately things fall into place
real fast. [Mike] We can tell right away if
we like the latest tunes that we have writ-
ten together or not.
Look for more on the interview with
MANTIS in next week's Ram Pages.
ON THE SPORTS FRONT
DUKE'S DIARY
The Graduate Management
Admissions Test
by Duke Blessing
The following information is intended
for everyone — whether you plan on at-
tending graduate school or not. Graduate
school may be the last thing on your
mind right now but a couple of years
down the road your employer may decide
to send you for an MBA (Masters in Busi-
ness Administration) or some other type
of masters degree.
The MBA is the most popular and
most sought after masters degree. The
top-notch MBA programs are full time
day programs for the best undergraduate
students in the nation. A grade point
average of 3.7 and a GMAT score in the
80th percentile will at least put your ap-
plication in the "maybe" pile.
A majority of students choose to go
part-time at night. With a bachelors
degree in business, the MBA program
can be completed in three years — five
years for most other undergraduate
degrees.
The catch is that all MBA programs
worth anything require the GMAT. You
may be a business major, ag major or
anything, but to get into any type of
MBA program, you need to take the test
months before entering school.
I recommend to every junior and
senior to take the test as soon as possi-
ble. You will not have to worry about it
three years down the road when some of
your math skills have possibly flown out
the window. You never know when
your employer will decide he wants you
to get an advanced degree.
The GMAT is not a test of knowledge
in specific subjects, it is a test of certain
skills and abilities that have been found
to contribute to success in graduate pro-
grams in business and management.
The GMAT consists of multiple-choice
questions which are divided among eight
separately timed sections; the total
testing time is about four hours.
There are five different areas covered
on the test: problem solving, data suffi-
ciency, reading comprehension, analysis
of situation and writing ability.
At first look the test seems unbeatable,
but if you prepare the right way, you can
rip your way right through it (even you
Mr. X)!
I took the test on January 26 and felt
extrernely confident when it was over.
I applied to take the test last September
(for the January 26 date) and purchased
three books to study from. Each book
was loaded with math questions, usage
questions and a lot of other helpful tid-
bits The books also contained actual
GMAT tests given in previous years.
After 14 weeks of studying. 10 actual
timed exams and countless math prob-
lems — I was quite ready to take on the
GMAT.
All the preparation paid off because 1
got a 660 out of 800. the 92nd percentile!
If you start now there is a test June 15
which can be had if you put the time in
— but do it now before you are away
from school too long!
FRESHMAN SHAUN SMITH
TAKES FIRST PLACE AT
THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
by Duke Blessing
As a high school senior in Dover. Pa..
Shaun Smith won the state champion-
ship and with that honor came recruiters
from wrestling powerhouses.
After a brief stint at Lock Haven Uni-
versity. Smith was not quite sure that
school was for him and he left before the
season got underway.
Lock Haven's bss was definitely DVCs
gain as Smith, after sitting out for over a
year, enrolled at DVC and worked his
way into shape and eventually the start-
ing lineup.
First came an undefeated season with
every victory coming by way of technical
fall.
Next was an M.V.P. performance in
the MAC championships won by the
Aggies
Finally, Smith became All-American
Shaun Smith as he placed first in the
Division III National champions at
Augustana College in Rock Island. Il-
linois (the same college that produced
the Cincinnati Bengals starting quarter-
back Ken Anderson for all you fellow
trivia heads) .
Smith won four matches to earn the ti-
tle. He started by defeating Paul Van
Osbee. the number three seed, 6-5.
in his next match Smith defeated Ken
Pratt of Cortland State. 15-6.
in the semi-finals. Smith crushed four-
time All-American Tom Hall of Augsburg
College. 22-10
In the finals. Shaun defeated the
defending national champion Dan Pan-
taelco. (who had a record 78 consecu-
tive victory streak snapped in the pro-
cess). 8-4.
The following is from an interview
conducted with All-American Shaun
Smith:
Q: What did \;ou do during that year
away to keep in shape?
A: I ran a lot and played quite a bit of
tennis because somewhere in the back of
my mind I knew that I would be wrestling
somewhere at sometime.
Q: Did ^ou think in September that \;ou
would be wrestling this January;?
A: I really was not sure until I actually
said yes a few weeks before the semester.
Coach Marshall talked to me a lot about
coming here and now 1 am glad I did
Q: Did you personally feel that the layoff
would have an effect on you?
A: I did not really know until I actually
got on the mat. My first two exhibition
matches were close, closer than they
should have been. My stamina and tech-
nique were pretty hard to pick up on
right away.
Q: What were your expectations in going
to the national tournament?
A: My goal was to place in the top eight
and be an All-American. It was not until
after the semi-final match that I realized
that I could actually win it all.
Q: What was the first thought or feeling
that went through you when the buzzer
went off and the last match ended?
A: I really could not believe that I had
won it.
Q: Being undefeated during the season.
MVP at the MAC Championships and
placing first at Nationals: what are your
goals for next year?
A: To win the MAC's again and place in
the top eight at the Division I National
Championships.
Q: You are at the top now. looking
down, what will help you and motivate
you to stay there for the next three
years?
A: I have achieved a goal of mine early,
but there are other goals. People will be
gunning for me but 1 know how sweet it
is at the top and I want to stay there.
Once you have tasted it. it's enough to
push you to work hard and stay.
Q: Any closing thoughts or comments?
A: I could not have done it without
Coach Marshall and his belief in me. My
partners were a great help and I have got
to thank Dan, Steve. Tracy and Drew for
pushing me the whole time.
I would personally like to congratulate
Shaun for an excellent season and wish

Hey guys, there's a new band in town,
their name is MANTIS and they'll be
playing in Montgomery County on Sun
day, March 31 at 8 p.m. Opening for
them is Jahil. They play some really
heavy-duty rock-n-roll (stuff like Van
Halen. Quiet Riot and more). Tickets are
$6 at the door, unless you have one of
my VIP. passes (keep reading for
details on how to get them). The passes
are good for two bucks off the ticket
price, so if you are into some heavy-duty
rock-n-roll I'll see you there (look for an
interview and a write up of the show) .

by L.E. Biatt
The Annual Alumni Phonathon was a
total success according to Director of
Alumni Affairs, Jim Trainer. For five
days last week (Sunday, March 17 to
Thursday, March 21), approximately 40
students and 25 alumni sat in the lobby
of Lasker Hall on the telephone calling
alumni of D.V.C.
The Phonathon is held one time each
year to aid in the Annual Giving Cam-
paign. An effort is made to contact as
many of the alumni as possible. The goal
of the entire Annual Giving Campaign is
$300,000 and ends on June 30, 1985.
Prior to the Phonathon, approximately
$150,000 was raised. During the
Phonathon, a total of $51,280 was
pledged with 656 alumni responding to
our calk. (X the 656 alumni who pledged,
158 were new givers (they nevef gave
money to the Annual Giving Campaign
before this year). The money raised, if
unrestricted, will help to keep the cost of
tuition down . It was a good time as the
alumni enjoyed hearing from the stu-
dents and the students enjoyed talking
with alumni.
This year there is a special addition to
the Annual Giving Campaign. An anon-
ymous donor has challenged the gradu-
ated classes of the ^'s to match dollar
for dollar each gift made to the Annual
Giving Campaign up to a total of $25,000.
Mr. Trainer and the rest of the Alumni
Office Staff would like to thank everyone
who help)€d out with this successful event
as they were happy with the turnout and
thankful for all pledges
An Afternoon with the Classics (page 2)
From the Infirmary
Several colleges have recently had
measles epidemics which have received
notoriety in the news. It is the policy at
D.V.C. that students immunizations be
up to date and recorded in the health
records kept in the infirmary. Included in
the Report of Health Evaluation form are
questions regarding a history of cither
measles itself or measles vaccine. Please
check with your parents or family physi-
cian to be sure you have immunity
against the disease. If you never had
measles or had the measles vaccine
before 1969 you should receive the vac-
cine. Check with the infirmary if any
questions.
If everyone has immunity to the
disease, a measles epidemic can be
averted at D.V.C.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Ukranian Easter Egg
Workshop
One of the traditions of Easter is the
making of Easter eggs. The people of
Slavic background have taken this pro-
cess and made it literally into an art form.
These so called Unkranian Easter eggs
go far beyond the Easter eggs that we
made as children.
Since beeswax is involved in the pro-
cess of making Ukranian Easter eggs, the
Apiary Society will be sponsoring a
workshop on making Ukranian Easter
eggs starting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April
2, 1985 at the Bee House. At this time,
you will have the opportunity of trying
your hand at making an Ukranian Easter
egg, and hopefully you will have a mas-
terpiece to take home with you for
Easter.
The workshop will be conducted by
Miss Veronica Paris. D.V.C.'s resident
Ukranian Easter egg expert. The meeting
is open to all interested members of the
D.V.C. College Community, and the
Apiary Society invites anyone interested
to attend.
UNDER STRESS?
As spring approaches, our minds tend
to turn toward thoughts of sunbathing
and Softball games. Plans for sitting out
on warm evenings and enjoying the
summer tend to occupy our minds. On a
college campus, however, spring brings
not only thoughts of relaxation and sum-
mer fun, but other thoughts as well.
Term papers will soon be due and final
exams are following close in their tracks.
Any work you may have let go, while
enjoying a spring day perhaps, is now
lingering, waiting for your attention.
If you are a senior, you must begin to
say goodbbye to close friends with whom
you have grown. You must also make
decisions such as, 'what do I do now?'.
Will you go on to graduate school? Move
home? Get a job? What job?
Underclassmen are faced with many
decisions too. What kind of job do I get
this summer? How do I get the money to
return next year? Have I chosen the right
major?
All these questions add to pressure; a
pressure that is already high, due to the
demands of finishing a semester. Stress
is the result. Too much stress can lead to
prdjiems that make it difficult for people
to make good decisions. It can lead to
distraction and a lack of concentration
that inhibit the ability to study well and
write good papers. Stress can wind you
up so much that you find it hard to sleep
or exhaust you to the point that all you
do is sleep. One of the biggest problems
of stress is that it is self-perpetuating. The
more stress you feel, the less well you
function and poor functioning only in-
creases your stress.
Well, there is nothing you can do to
stop spring from coming and if spring
comes, you know that the end of the
semester is not far behind . So does that
mean you must grit your teeth and simply
try to push your way through with the
hope that you can survive the stress and
pressure that you know is coming? That
is one way and it may work, but there
are ways you can prepare yourself for
the stress so that the blow is not so
strong. There are also things you can do
to reduce the amount of stress you must
endure. Stress management involves
learning to manage and control a wide
range of life skills and activities. For ex-
ample, there are changes you can make
in your diet that can help your body be
stronger and more efficient in withstan-
ding stress. There are also exercises and
breathing techniques that can help with
this. Learning to plan time better and to
use time efficiently can help to reduce
stress even before it starts. Relaxation
techniques and biofeedback (a method
which uses sensitive instruments to
monitor and help people leam to control
body functions, such as heart rate and
blood pressure) , can be very effective in
helping people cope with the stress they
do experience. It is not possible to elimi-
nate stress, but it is possible to reduce it
and effectively cope with it.
If you are interested in learning more
about how to deal with stress, stop into
the infirmary 2:00-5:00 on Wednesdays
or 5:00-8:00 on Thursdays and ask for
Reb or Kathy. Or give a call to Reb
Brooks at the Lenape Valley Founda-
tion, Biofeedback and Stress Manage-
ment Center (822-7510). It could make
for a much more relaxing and enjoyable
spring and summer.
PATHFINDER COW
AWARD
DVC Pride 1858, owned by Delaware
Valley College, has been selected as a
1985 "Pathfinder" cow.
The guidelines used in determining
Pathfinder status are:
1. Beginning with her first calf, all
calves calves must have been
recorded on AHIR. No irregular
weanings or calves by commercial
sires are used in the analysis.
2 . A weaning weight must have been
processed on a calf bom after
June 30, 1983.
3 . A cow must have had her first calf
at an age equal to or less than the
average age of the herd at first
calving, plus 30 days.
4 . She must maintain a regular calv-
ing interval which is determined as
follows: Number of Calving Inter-
vals(30) -f 365 = Maximum
Calving Interval
5 . A cow must have produced at
least three calves with an average
weaning ratio of 105 and these
calves must have been evaluated
with at least 9 other herd mates.
DVC Pride 1858 has produced 5 calves
with an average weaning ratio of 107,
and has met the rigid requirements for
early calving and regularity of calving.
Ukranian Easter Eggs
One day a poor peddler went to the
marketplace to sell a basket of eggs. He
came upon a crowd mocking a man who
staggered with a heavy cross on which
he was about to be crucified. The ped-
dler went to his aid, leaving the basket by
the roadside. When he returned, he
found the eggs transformed into ex-
quisite designs of bright colors. The man
was Christ and the peddler was Simon,
and the eggs were to become the symbol
of the rebirth for all mankind.

PROFILE: Mantis, a local band on the
rise, a three part mini-article. Here is the
second part of the interview with MAN-
TIS. Since the interview I have spend
much time with the band and have
listened to them play even more. They
are GOOD!!! Try to get out and see
them, you won't be sorry!
Mantis are:
John Bateman (Bass. Vocals)
Steve Cermanski (Keyboards,
Lead Vocals)
Mike Natalini (Drums. Vocals)
Ira Sherman (Guitar, Vocals)
Q:7How often do {^ou practice?
A: [Iraj We try to get in three or four
nights week, with us playing Fridays and
Saturdays. We try to get in Monday.
Wednesday and Friday.
Q'.SWhat are you thinking of right before
\;ou go out on stage?
A: [Ira] I'm thinking, hopefully the peo-
ple are going to like the show and have a
good time. [John] What 1 won^y about is,
how much of the stuff that 1 buy like
bracelets, bandanas, and jewelry— stuff
that I have hanging off my clothes is go-
ing to be left when I'm done. I think of
the money we have spent in the last two
years on stuff and the kids they just rip it
right off. 1 definitely think about the au-
dience I want to go out there and 1 want
the people to be happy. I'm definitely go-
ing to do my best. I worry more about
everybody else doing their job than
about myself. [Mike] I think about how
we are going to go over. I want to go
over so good because I know we've all
been doing this for so long. I just want to
make sure that the people are going to
be happjy. They are out there paying
their money to see us, we have to go out
there and give them their moneys worth
and more. We have to go out there and
be a band— be the band they came to
see. [Steve] What I am thinking is, how
can I motivate those people out there?
What should I do to make everyone in
that place have a good time? If 1 look out
there and 1 see somebody that is not
smiling I'll run over to them, stand right
in their face and make them smile. 1 want
everyone to have a good time.
Q:9Does MANTIS have a message— are
l>ou trying to say something?
A: [Steve] I have been doing that with
music aH my life. If you believe in
something you should go for It and never
think twice about it. Give it all your effort
and be glad you did because someday
you will look back, if you don't do it and
say "hey I should have done that!" If you
are happy with being a plumber, be a
plumber but be happy that you are.
[Mike] We want to sell smiles— That is
what we want to do. We want everybody
out there to be happy. Everybody wants
to make people happy, and thaMs what
we are out there for. [John] No matter
how tough things get out there— In life in
general— Always think that without
music what is there? [Ira] Even the
richest boy is poor without music.
Basically all our songs usually deal with
everyday life, relationships with different
girls. Alot of our songs are based around
girls. Our songs are about relationships.
Q'.lOWhat keeps MANTIS going?
A: [John] Our fans. [Mike] Our fans
definitely. [John] The people that keep
telling us not to give up. that we are go-
ing to make it. I can honestly tell you that
there have been days when I say to
myself "What am I doing?" and there are
days when I think "Tomorrow, it is going
to happen tomorrow!" It is other people,
people that like us and come out every
weekend. Even people that don't know
us and come to see us for the first time,
they come up to us and say "You're go-
ing to make it— you're good— don't give
up!" There is something about our tunes
that stick with them. That is what keeps
Mantis going. [Mike] It's the people, our
fans. It is the people. [Steve] I get letters
and phone calls everyday, saying "we
love the band" The response like that is
the only thing that keeps us in there. We
have been through so many rough times
that any situation could arise— bad or
whatever— and we could handle it. So
many times you feel like hanging it up
and saying "look we are not going to
make it. Why are we doing this?" We will
be the first ones to take is out on each
other, but there is a love here. The
response we get from the people make it
worth it. If it wasn't for the people there
would be no reason for going on . When
they come up and say "you are good
keep going!" that is what keeps
you going.
Q: 1 1 Where is Mantis playing in the next
few weeks?
A: April 5 and 6: Yesterdays.
King of Prussia
April 12: Chuck-e-Cheese. Norristown
April 19: Tony's Tavern. Ziglersville
April 20: P.M. Lounge. Willow Grove
Navy Base
April 26 and 27: Coletti's. Norristown
May 3: The Galaxy. Sommerdale N.J.
Q:l2What does the future look
like for MANTIS?
A: [Mike] It looks like a lot of fun, it looks
definitely like a lot of fun. [John] And a
lot of hard work. [Mike] A lot of hard
work, but I can honestly say for the two
years that I have been with the band it
has been loads of fun. [John] The future
for Mantis looks like whatever our fans
want it to be. [Steve] Bright, very bright,
it's obviously not going to happen over-
night. It's going to take a long time, but it
is a slow step by step type of thing. We
will be there and we will record and we
will tour, it's just going to take a Jong
time. The thing to remember is that you
meet the same people on the way up the
ladder that you do on the way down
You have to take it as it comes— step by
step.
As a last comment the band stressed
their involvement with the Variety Club.
They also wish to thank their Roadies:
Buddy, Mark, Steve. Mike, Jim, Chris,
Wayne and Chris.

GRADUATE SCHOOL??
by Dr. Bcrthold
During our Annual Career Day, I had
the opportunity of spending quite a bit of
time with Dr. Roger Locandro. the Cook
(Rutger Agricultural School) College
Dean. During this time, we spoke with a
number of our students, and 1 was sur-
prised to find that many of them had no
concept as to how a graduate education
is financed.
In the case of Liberal Arts majors in-
cluding those majoring in Business and
related fields, most students have to
finance their own graduate education.
However many business graduates have
thier graduate educations financed by
their employers.
For those students majoring in
Agriculture and in many of the sciences,
financing a graduate education is fre-
quently a different matter Many
graduate school departments have
available research assistanceships and/or
teaching assistanceships for qualified
students, and depending upon the situa-
tion, often a "B" average is enough to
qualify. Currently at the two colleges that
I checked, graduate assistants are beging
paid about $7,000 per year, and their
tuition is waved. In most instances, this
assistanceship is also tax free.
Many of the students whom Dr.
Locandro and I talked with first said that
they couldn't financially afford to go on
to graduate school after the costs of four
undergraduate years. However, if you
are interested and if you have the
academic credentials, you really should
look into the possibility of attending
graduate school.
M
AN AFTERNOON WITH
•»»
THE CLASSICS'
On Sunday, the 24th. the Liberal Arts
department presented "An afternoon with
the classics". Mrs. Roberts. Mr Durmer
and the members of the chorale
pre^nted the classics.
The show began with Mrs. Roberts us-
ing her strong voice to sing some classical
favorites. Her last song, "1 bought me a
cat", was the crowds favorite.
Mrs. Roberts turned the show over to
Mr. Durner on the trombone and Jenifer
Mease on the flute. The two instruments
together created a very soothing sound.
Then, Mr. Dumer went solo on the trom-
bone. Being accompanied by a piano,
Mr. Durner created very lively music.
When Mr. Dumer finished, the show
was turned over to the chorale. Mrs.
Roberts conducted and Leslie Blatt and
Donna Lazarus accompanied. Their selc-
tion of songs were supert) with the ending
song being "The Lord's Prayer."
The concert was very poorly attended
due to the lack of extensive advertise-
ment.
The DVC band and chorale "Spring
Concert" is on Tuesday, April 16th at
7:30 p.m. Please come out and see what
beautiful voices and talented musicians
we have at Del Val. The concert promises
to be excellent!
Dear Editors
Dear Editon,
I have heard that people on campus
get their kicks by destroying other peo-
ple's property. This was done by
discharging a fire extinguisher under
doors while the occupants were asleep. It
was very irresponsible of the students to
commit to such an action .
The fire extinguishers are there for a
purpose. Let them serve their purpose
and nothing else.
If there had been a fire that evening,
what would have occurred?
Sincerely,
A concerned student
Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
One of our new gardens on campus,
the Hillman garden next to the library,
was a great addition to our campus. It
turned out really nice but the garden
itself and the area towards the
greenhouse are very dark at night. Peo-
ple going to the greenhouse complex to
study walk from, in back of the cafe, to
the greenhouses and trip over metal rods
or pipes sticking up above the ground. I
think the Hillman garden should have
small lights (and benches) and either a
street light on the telephone pole or spot
light on a tree to light up the grass area. I
think this is something that should be fix-
ed or looked into before someone breaks
a leg.
The campus seems to be getting a little
better at nights because of more lights be-
ing put up; lets keep this going and il-
luminate the rest of those dark spots.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Alan Hammann

ON THE SPORTS FRONT
CINDERELLA IS GOING
TO THE BALL- HAIL TO
THE WILDCATS!
by Duke Blessing
Cinderella, in the form of the Villanova
Wildcats, is going to the ball to be held in
Lexington, Kentucky.
This black-tie formal affair will also in-
clude three other invitees, all of whom
were expected to show up from the
beginning: Georgetown, St. John's and
Memphis State.
Unlike Georgetown and St. John's, the
Philadelphia Main Liners had four difficult
road blocks in their path to the Final Four,
and in each game, the Wildcats were
underdogs,
The odds- makers and so called experts
are eating crow and wondering what went
wrong.
Villanova started the 64-team competi-
tion ranked 8th in the Southeast region
(somewhere around 3()th overall).
The Wildcats got the ball rolling as they
defeated Dayton, on Dayton's home
court, 61-59.
Next for Nova came the Mkrhigan
Wolverines. Michigan came into the con-
test as the number 1 ranked team in the
region and the number 2 ranked team in
the entire nation.
Led by Dwayne (D-Train) McClain's 20
points and a tenacious zone defense, the
Wildcats pulled off an incredible upset in
confusing the Wolverines, 59-55.
Upset number three was a rematch
with the Maryland Terrapins. Ed Pickney
scored 16 points and snared 13 rebounds
and the Cats held All-American Len Bias
to 8 points (on 4 for 13 shooting) and 5
rebounds as Rollie's gang defeated Lefty's
gang. 46-43.
The final shell shock on the way to the
Final Four was the Wildcats man handling
of North Carolina. 56-44.
Villanova out scored the Heels. 39-22,
in the second half on the torrid shooting
of Harold Jensen (5 for 7) and Harold
Pressley (15 points).
It is refreshing to see a team like
Villanova make the Final Four, not only
because they are a Philly team, but
because they stand for what a
student/athlete ought to be.
In this vain, a Georgetown vs.
Villanova final would be the ultimate
complement to college athletics. Two
teams who put the books ahead of the
ball and players who have a love for their
teammates, not just for themselves.
No predictions from this corner because
we know who should win the title. But we
also know who this year's real winner is
for getting there, for going by way of the
road less traveled (Dr. Heath, that was off
the top of my head!) .
The ugfy duckling Wildcats, nobody's
team two weeks ago. everybody's team
now!— you are the real winners!

Men's Basketball
19841985
A SEASON IN REVIEW
by Duke Blessing
Compared to previous years, this
year's Del-Val men's basketball team en-
joyed quite a successful season.
Their 12-12 overall record was the
most victories in one season since
the 1970-1971 team coached by
John Silan.
This record is considerable when you
stop to realize that the roster was filled
with inexperienced freshmen.
The highlights of the 1984-1985
season included the second consecutive
victory in the Big Brothers Tip-Off
Classic, defeating division III national
powers Lycoming and Muhlenberg,
beating Albright for the first time in the
school's history and defeating Scranton
University on the road.
Caught between a rock and a hard
place, coach Les Lombard! molded this
baby-faced group of kids into a more
than respectable team.
At the annual basketball banquet Eric
Ford was named the Most Valuable
Player. Ford, a 5-6 guard, broke a
school record with 156 assists and scored
8.7 points a game.
John Boone received the Most Im-
proved Player award by scoring 10.2
points a game and hauling down 6.8 re-
bounds a game.
Dodd Walker won the High Score
award by way of his 16.2 average and
Derrick McCarter got the Coaches award
with 13.5 scoring average.
The Calvin P. Kidder award went to
Erroll Patterson. This award is given an-
nually to the player who combines good
sportsmanship with basketball and high
academic standing.
Other varsity letter winners included
Marvin Emerson. Tony Blackwell, Mar-
tin Hoffner. Bill Ross. Mark Spotts. and
Paul Sterling, as well as managers John
Litzke. Lisa Serbin and Connie Hajioan-
nov
The banquet was also the place where
coach Lombard! officially resigned as the
men's basketball coach.
After seven years at the helm, coach
Lombard! decided it was time to spend
more time with his wife and children.
Lombard! came to Del-Val after stints
at all the lower levels of coaching, in-
cluding a few years with Winston Chur-
chill High School in Potamac, Maryland,
where he guided his team to consecutive
county titles and a state championship.
One of the highlights of his coaching
career is the victory by his Metro
(Washiiigton) All-Stars over the United
States All-Stars in the nationally know
capital classic.
When you look at the job Lombard!
did with this all-freshman team, you
have to stop and think what they would
have been like with a few experienced
players.
They say experience counts for a few
wins a year. Who knows, maybe 16-8,
17-7?!
It would have been very easy to throw
in the towel but Lombard! stuck with the
team and made them believe in
themselves.
Now the recruiting trips are over (or
put on the back burner) . Dinner at home
with the family sounds better then dinner
at the closest fast food joint to school.
Coach, as this team gains experience
and is complemented by some recruits,
you will be able to sit back, knowing that
you got the ball rolling. Good guys don't
finish last, they go out just as they came
in - as winners!
Take care of yourself coach and learn
how to enjoy relaxing, but don't get tCK>
comfortable because you know someday
that you will get the itch and . . .
REBELS WIN
4TH CONSECUTIVE
CHAMPIONSHIP
by Duke Blessing
Four years and four championships! In
the Open League Intramural champion-
ship game the Rebels defended their title
for the third straight year, defeating the
Majestic Enforcers, 67-64.
Coach of the year, Blessing (thanks
Tone-Bone) and head assistant, Dan
Glowatski, guided their troops to a 6-2
record during the regular season and a
3-0 sweep in the playoffs.
The Rebels consisted of the ballhandling
and outside shooting of Rob O'Connor.
Willie Sanders, and Chris Jensen and
the rugged inside play of Steve Sissel,
Eric Cross, Gary Kemberling, Gary Goff
and Clay Funk.
The team travels to LaSalle College
this week to play in an intramural cham-
pion tournament.
Salute to the victors!

BLOOD DRIVE
APRIL 3RD-
In the AU-Purpose room!
Once again DVC's annual spring Blood
drive is approaching as a matter of fact its
Wednesday from 10:30-3:30 and time for
all you brave people to get the gumption
up to help save a life Giving blood is not
hard it doesn't hurt and excuses don't
help. People who have been rejected at a
previous date should try again as chances
are you will be accepted. Giving blood is
something that is meaningful as the blood
is used by the local hospital to help acci-
dent victims, people getting operations
and need transfusions. These are people
just like you and one day you may need
an operation or transfusion and knowing
you gave blood will make you feel com-
fortable the blood is there.
Class of '86 remember you have a
challenge to up hokj if we can increase
the numbers no one can tough us. Re-
member our goal is 2(X) pts. and there is
free Pepsi and prizes.
Scholarship Information
The National Student Service Associa-
tion (NSSA) is an organization dedicated
in locating PRIVATE sources of scholar-
ships, grants and other financial aid for
college students. NSSA has developed
two new programs to help undergrads
(freshmen and sophomores) and gradu-
ate students.
MILLIONS IN SCHOLARSHIPS
GO UNCLAIMED!!!
The rumor is a fact! Millions of dollars
in scholarships, grants, fellowships and
other financial aid go unused each school
year because students simply do not
apply!
According to the Regional Director of
NSSA, the amount of funds which is un-
used by the public is enormous. How
many scholarships, grants and fellow-
ships that are bypassed, because of the
physical impossibility ot the student to
personally research the hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars in financial aid provided
each year, is not known. We do know
that the money is there, and is not being
used.
Practically all students, regardless of
scholastic achievement or family income
can and do qualify for many forms of fi-
nancial aid. The NSSA Regional Center
has over 3 billion dollars in its data bank,
and is available for students pursuing a
higher education. Financial aid is avail-
able for freshmen, sophomores, and
graduate students. The NSSA GUAR-
ANTEES results in finding financial aid
sources for students, or the processing
fee is refunded. For a free application
and more information write to the Na-
tional Student Service Association, Box
52, Bourbonnais, IL 60914. Please spec-
ify undergraduate or graduate information.

Dear Confused,
Sounds as if your boyfriend is lacking in decency
skills He may not be doing this intentionally, it may
just bt^ out of ignorance. First of all. you should
identify the problem, weigh the good and the bad
things about the situation, then sit down with him
and explain each problem from your point of view
Maybe you will bring things out that he was not
aware of This may lay a base for sonw give and
take on both sides

Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
Here we are approaching another
spring at DVC. 1 cordially invite every-
one to tour our campus and see The
Snake River bed (between the Student
Center and Work Hall). Pancho's All
Night Parking Lot (Ulman and Work),
and the State Thruway (between Wolf-
sohn and Goldman). Where are they?
Do we have these wonders? The former
was a description of the campus roads
and roadsides.
I want to use this time to address a
very severe problem on this college cam-
pus, namely, vehicle traffic around dor-
mitories, athletic events, the Student
Center and the damage that occurs. -
Despite the College rules and regula-
tions, despite the number of traffic tickets
issued and paid, people park and drive
wherever they please. The result is a
campus which appears to have no real
pride in itself. There is no one person or
party to blame for this damage, the Col-
lege community as a whole is responsible.
There are those who pull their vehicles
off the road to watch a soccer or field
hockey game, there are those who park
their vehicles around the dorms for 15
minutes or overnight, there are those
who drive around these parked cars, and
there are those who simply drive on the
grass.
Currently we have so-called "fire
lanes" around the buildings on this cam-
pus. These lanes are the only means of
access for all people to get to and from
the buildings. Now let's face it. the road-
ways cannot accommodate two-way
traffic, parked cars or large vehicles. The
result is tire ruts, broken road edges, pot
holes, compacted soil. etc.. all of which
deface the appearance of the college in
the eyes of the public, let alone in the
eyes of ourselves.
r The following are some suggestions
and solutions to the problem:
1 . Widen and curb certain roadways
where two-way traffic is necessary.
2. Put loading and unloading areas
around dormitories for students and
enforce a time limit.
3. Restrict certain roadways for college
vehicles only.
4. Eliminate roadways and replace with
smaller walkways.
5. Make and enforce stricter rules and
regulations.
There are many more problems, solu-
tions and suggestions that can be discussed
about the College road system. I just feel
that it is time that we research, design
and develop plans to correct the situa-
tion. The only way this can occur is if
everyone cooperates with each other.
You and I know that this will require alot
of time and money, but until this time
comes, can everyone try to KEEP OFF
THE GRASS.
Sincerely.

Dear Editors
Dear Editors,
Yesterday was Founder's Day, which
is the annual event dedicated to the peo-
ple who had a dream for agriculture,
science, this school, and its students. Dr.
Krauskopf and James Work were indi-
viduals with dreams, ideas, and goals for
this school and the direction it should
follow. Dr. Krauskopf and James Work
inspired others with their dreams and
these people made them their dreamy
and their goals. Many people look back
at this school's past and with the hope
that we look toward its future. Many stu-
dents ask. "For what future?" In recent
years it seems that there has been no
direction, no goals, and no concern for
the students who are the mainstay of this
college. In recent years admissions have
been down and the school has tried to
change that by expanding the fields of
study. Is it right, is it an organized plan of
expansion, or is it a way of increasing
population for the present? Is the school
deviating from the fields in which it was
founded, or is the school just trying to at-
tract more students? To many, this
school's apparent direction is becoming a
sad reality. There is nothing wrong with a
plan of expansion of the school's base,
but is the expansion wise?
I would prefer to see this school reaf-
firm its beliefs in science and agriculture. I
would love to see the school expand
within the fields of agriculture and
science by adding veterinary and nursing
programs. Return funds to the established
majors, and increase the field training of
the students.
If the school wants to get more stu-
dents to attend, it should set goals for the
present departments. Make the goals
good, make them the best. Offer a select
and detailed program in the sciences and
in agriculture. When that is accomplished,
students will want to attend this school
because it is the best and the students
want the best. Then, no matter where
anyone is. a student can say. "I've grad-
uated from DVC" and everyone will
know that they came from a school that
is dedicated to improving farming, horti-
culture, and the businesses that these
careers entail. To accomplish all of these
goals, the school does not have to look
far. it only has to look at the students that
are here. They need to look at the stu-
dents they have begun to ignore. As stu-
dents we can see where our fields are
heading. We can understand and sug-
gest the changes that need to be made.
We also know where we are lacking and
how to improve the problems. We only
need to be asked, and then listened to.
Our founders took the time to speak to
the students and to listen to them. Very
few members of the present administra-
tion and board of trustees take the time
to listen. I hope that one day they will,
because 1 would be crushed to see the
ideas and goals of Dr. Krauskopf and
James Work for DVC become a memory.
Sincerely.

Music / Nightlife
by Michael DeRosa
You missed a great show! The Mantis
show at Young's Regency in Blue Elell
was a BLAST. Because of the weather
the crowd wasn't as large as was ex-
pected but the people there were psyched.
Jahil (the opening band) came out and
played some real good dance tunes in-
cluding "California Girls." "Rebel Yell,"
and "Modern Love." Then it was time
for Mantis — The crowd roared as Man-
tis came out. Mantis played some real
hard rockin' sets. They played "Born to
be Wild" and some originals — "In Your
Eyes," "Forever With You." and "One of
The Boys" (a song which is going to be
released as a single real soon). The
crowd went crazy. The played three en-
cores, one of which they played a rotten
joke (but it wasn't funny) on their lead
guitarist. Ira (E^^Jeball). They told him that
they were going to play one song and
they actually were going to play some-
thing else. Ira started in on a long guitar
solo for about one minute and the rest of
the band yelled "Wrong song Eyeball." (1
guess you had to be there!) The show
was excellent and the music was even
better. Some real rock-n-roll was heard
that night. I will go see Mantis again.

DUKFS DIARY
PHILADELPHIA:
Destiny to Succeed
by Duke Blessing
Back in early September, many of the
so-called hockey "prognosticators" (ex-
perts) made their predictions for the up-
coming '84-'85 season. To nobody's sur-
prise, the Philadelphia Flyers were not
pegged for first place. In fact, some of
the absent-minded picked the Flyers to
finish fifth and out of the playoffs.
For the second week in a row (V for
Victory. V for Villanova was the first).
Philadelphia is watching the rest of the
country eat crow?
The amazing season turned completely
around on the night of February 9.
The kids (youngest average age of
any team in professional sports)
from Phillytown traveled to the nation's
capital to take on the Washington Capi-
tals. The Capitals held an 1 1 -point lead
over the Flyers in the standings and a
Caps victory probably would have put
the Flyers out of the picture.
Captain Davey Poulin scored on a
backhander with time running out to give
the Flyers a 5-4 victory and helped to
raise some eyebrows.
Then, on March 5th in the Nassau
Coliseum, the Flyers faced the New York
Islanders, not the easiest team to try and
break a three-game losing streak against.
This game was key because Washing-
ton still held a four-point advantage over
the Flyers.
Once again. Davey Poulin was the
hero as he scored a goal in overtime to
lift the Flyers to a 5-4 victory.
The Flyers then swept Washington in
back-to-back games and it ^as all but
over!
MVP Pelle Lindbergh closed out the
regular season with two "Hall of Fame"
performances.
This was the ye^r that the legendary
Bobbie Clarke retired. Bill Barber's
career was halted by a knee injury and
Darryl Sitler was traded.
They were grinning in both New York
and Washington. They were smelling the
blood of the wounded in Pittsburgh and
even in New Jersey (yes. I'm serious —
New Jersey!) .
Well baby, here it is — Philadelphia
Style!:
1 . The best overall record in the league
at 53-20-7.
2. A club record for victories. 53. better-
, ing the mark of 51 set by the 1974-75
and 1975-76 clubs.
3. The best home record in the league at
32-4-4 where they outscored their op-
ponents by 100 goals (202-102).
4. The eighth divisional title in the fran-
chise's 18-year history.
5. A 25-8-2 record within the division.
6. 16 wins in their last 17 games!
7. A goals-against average of 2.99!
What is absolutely incredible is that the
Flyers did this with 12 rookies and
second-year players.
Even the veterans are only in their
mid-20's!
Rick Tocchet. Peter Zezel. and Derrick
Smith are all of 19 years old.
Murray Craven and the Sutter twins
are 21 years old.
Captain Dave Poulin is 26 The two
best goalies in the league. Lindbergh and
Froese are 25 and 26 respectively.
All-stars Tim Kerr and Brian Propp are
each 25 years old.
The "old" men are Brad Marsh at 27
and Mark Howe at 29.
What is frightening as all hell is that
their are a handful of kids breaking minor
league records in the Flyers farm system.
We could be talking about another
Ryers dynasty!
No matter what lies ahead, this Flyers
team will be remembered for the incredi-
ble strides it made in just one season.
Everybody out there, please hurry and
finish the crow you are all eating from the
Villanova victory. Burp and make more
room because here comes crow for
dessert — the Philadelphia Flyers!

A-DAY 1985
Welcome to A-Day '85
For 37 years DVC's students have
been sponsoring the festivities of Agricul-
tural Day. This year's A-Day promises to
be the best.
New student projects such as seminars
given in the Little Plant Theater, Floral
Design Shows and BMX racing, will pro-
vide additional knowledge and entertain-
ment as well as many old favorites.
These traditional events include livestock
showing and judging, flower and plant
show, and an art and photos show.
These exhibits are open to participation
by any students even though their majors
are not related to the event.
Besides individuals participating,
many clubs are actively involved in mak-
ing this year's A-Day a success. Several
clubs will be putting on exhibits such as
the Chemistry Club's glass blowing, the
Apiary Club's bee display and Floral
Society's "Christmas in the Chapel."
Along with the display and exhibits
there are special events both student and
visitor participation. There is the always
exciting tug-of-war match over Lake Ar-
cher and very sloppy pie eating contest.
New this year is the BMX racing, which
will include many local youngsters also.
To top it all off, one must not miss all
of the wonderful food available. We'll be
serving our usual hamburgers, pizza and
chicken B.B.Q. along with the new roast
pork sandwiches. Then, one can experi-
ence the thick, rich, creamy milk shakes
that A-Day has become famous for. If
you feel like just nibbling, the Novelties
Tent has many snack foods including
cotton candy for the kiddies, peanuts
and pretzels for the parents.
One thing we're glad to have back this
year, is the sale of bedding plants and
vegetable seedlings for all of the home
gardeners. This tent will be located in
front of the gym for your convenience.
After months of planning and hard
work, A-Day is finally here. We all hope
you have an enjoyable time.
Sincerely,
Polly Eck& Sue Nord

DR. MERTZ
by Leslie Blatt with Dr. John Mertz
It is with great honor and sincerity that
the Ram Pages staff dedicates this A-Day
issue to Dr. Mertz. the Dean of Academic
Affairs. Dr. Mertz has proven, not only to
the staff of Ram Pages but also to any
student who confronts him. that DVC is
an institution that cares and listens.
Dr. Mertz was born and raised in
Northern New Jersey where he was very
active in various agriculture programs.
During his high school years. Dr. Mertz
participated in the Vo-Ag program as
well as Future Farmers of America. He
served as president of his local FFA
chapter as well as being a representative
to New Jersey state FFA.
At age 14, Dr. Mertz began working in
a wholesale florist which eventually lead
to his attending DVC to study Ornamen-
tal Horticulture. During his Botany class.
Dr. Mertz did his term paper on evolu-
tion. This led him to change his major to
Biology and in 1962, Dr. Mertz gradu-
ated in the first class of biology majors to
pass through the halls of DVC. He then
did his graduate work at the University of
Illinois with a major in Zoology and a
minor in Physiology. When his graduate
work was finished. Dr. Mertz returned to
DVC to join the Biology Department.
From 1975 to 1981, Dr. Mertz acted
as the Department Chairman of the Or-
namental Horticulture Department. Be-
ginning in 1981, Dr. Mertz became ac-
tive in the Dean's Office starting as Assis-
tant Dean and presently holding his posi-
tion as Dean of Academic Affairs.
Besides all of his responsibilities at
DVC, Dr. Mertz is very active in the sur-
rounding community. He is president of
the Honeyhollow Water Shed Associa-
tion which is an environmental education
center in Solebury. He is also on the
board of directors of the Central Bucks
YMCA as well as being very active in his
church.
The position of Dean of Academic Af-
fairs entails managing the academic pro-
gram and the faculty. Dr. Mertz not only
handles the present academic program
but is actually involved in planning for
future curriculum of DVC. He also is
concerned with getting the academic
program to "hang together" as well as
focusing on the quality of product that is
produced here at DVC. "In Search of
Excellence" is a new program that is be-
ing instituted here on this campus and
Dr. Mertz is actively researching and tak-
ing suggestions for activating this pro-
gram. Besides his responsibilities as
Dean, Dr. Mertz also finds time and en-
joys teaching the Genetics lectures.
Dr. Mertz is very concerned with the
reading skills as well as the amount of
reading that is done. According to Dr.
Mertz, people arc reading less and less
and this is not gcx>d as reading leads to
the development of the imagination . He
is a firm believer in developing the ap-
petite for reading and writing. He be-
lieves that everyone who graduates from
college should be literate not only in
reading and writing skills, but also in
math and computer skills.
Dr. Mertz along with his wife and three
children live in Buckingham. His son,
John, is a freshman Business Adminis-
tration major here at DVC. Dr. Mertz en-
joys gardening as well as doing p>en and

decoys.
Dr. Mertz, our hats off to you and
thanks for a job well done.

October
by Tim Ireland
October, a busy month for all of us at
DVC. Student Government supplied the
entertainment; such as the movies: Vic-
tor, Victoria; Splash; and Christir)e.
Besides these movies we were entertained
by Caricatures and Coffeehouses by Ted
Sterenko and the very popular Linda
Black. Last but not least was the well
attended Video Halloween Dance with
this year's contest being won by Brian
Breneman's bunny rabbit and Tim Ire-
land's ballerina (tu-tu and all!) .
Our clubs also supplied us with much
to do. The Floral Society and Ornamen-
tal Horticulture Club sponsored three
guest speakers in October: Bruce Keyser
(Native Azaleas), Marvin Clymer (Land-
scaping for Wildlife) , and Dr. K.H. Chris-
tiansen (Daylilies) . The Newman Club
had its first in a series of discussion
groups on "Relationships" moderated by

Other events included an Antique Car

forget the Kostmayer vs. Christian

December /January
by Linda Goodloe
Can you think back to the bleak days
of December and January, it's also when
the rock group Wham hit *1 on the
charts with their hit "Wake Me Up Before
You Go Go" and the class of '86 came in
first place at the Red Cross Blood Drive
with 46 pints. Remember when we wished
each other the best through Santa Lines
December was the month for Christmas
caroling as exhibited by the DVC Chorale
and Band. In January, the college turned
over a new leaf with major changes in
school policy in hopes to improve the
overall campus attitude. The biggest
change was a new facelift in the Student
Center Snack Bar, Not only was the
Snack Bar changed into Caesar's Pub,
the atmosphere also complimented the
new look.
September
by Rosemary Kluth
As usual. Dr. Feldstein welcomed all
new and old students to a hopefully
good year. One of the first things noticed
on campus was the new storm windows
on all the dorms. There were also a lot of
other changes on campus: the infirmary
moved to Elson, Eisner's now the Media
Center and Cooke and Barness got new
hall paint and lights.
The first activity of the semester was a
crazy event called Playfair where the
freshmen had a chance to get acquainted.
On September 8th there was a Video-
Dance in the APR which was also a
iuccess.
Football, Men's Cross Country,
Women's Cross Country and Women's
Volleyball had a terrific month*, =
Parent's Day on the 22nd was again
an enjoyable day for both parents and
students.

November
by E.D. Wengryn
November was a big month on cam-
pus. On the first. Caesar's Pub made its
debut. It was a huge success! For the first
time, a weeknight dance and entertain-
ment night was sponsored. Over 400
students crammed into the Snack Bar for
a night of laughs, good times and no
alcohol. It was definitely one of the better
ideas of Student Government and the
R. A.'s. The following week brought elec-
tion day at the end of an unexciting cam-
paign for the first woman on a major par-
ty ticket on a bid for the White House. It
also brought us the Roommate Game.
DVC's spoof on the "Newly wed Game."
Congratulations to Neet and Karen. Mid
the third week everyone got a chance at
home cooking. Thank God for Thanks-
giving and a break from Cafeteria food.
The last week of November brought
about the ultimate challenge for the DVC
fall bloodmobile. Naturally, the most ac-
tive class, that of '^, won (and it's
because we have big hearts). Anyway,
that was November, leaving three weeks
of school (only one and a half weeks of
classes) till Christmas break.

"The Hooters hit big at DVC
March
by ED Wengryn
March, the month that herolds spring,
did so this year with an uncanny, "Touch
of Britain." Four English students joined
DVC in putting on its Philadelphia Flower
Show exhibit titled "A Touch of Britain
— Our Garden Heritage." The students
shared two weeks in America setting up
the exhibit one week and touring the
area the next. (It's a shame they never
saw South Street on a Saturday night.)
The exhibit itself was a big plus for DVC,
being featured on "A.M. Philadelphia,"
the local news and many newspapers in-
cluding: The Philadelphia Inquirer, New
York Times, not to mention The htelii-
qencer. After the students left and the
show was over, spring break arrived at
DVC with almost everyone bugging out
either for Florida, the Bahamas, Califor-
nia, even Jersey, as long as we all got
away from here. But, alas, the break was
short and everyone returned to study
hard (or hardly study) , to improve those
mid-semester grades, and to pray that
April and Easter break would get here
fast.

The Future is May
by Jamie Beck
When May rolls around, another year
is ending at DVC. The month is filled
with worries about the present, plus
hopes for the future. Watch out, because
major elections are being held May 1st to
choose class officers for the 1985-86
school year.
The Equestrian Team's Western Riders
will be traveling to Lexington, Kentucky
on May 3rd for the National Finals. The
DVC team will represent Region 5 of the
American Horse Show Association. Also,
two members, C.A. Pccoreiii and Michele
Smith, will be competing individually.
After we all have sweated or sailed
through final exams, then the seniors are
off cruising to Bermuda (lucky them!) fol-
lowed by graduation on May 19. The
best of luck to the future of DVC's Class
of 1985!
February
by Duke Blessing
The short month of February was
highlighted by the Hooters Dance Con-
cert on February 8. The concert was well
attended and enjoyed by all!
Anne Bailey's Bridal Show was held
on February 3 and was a success.
On Thursday, February 7, DVC stu-
dents and members of the community
heard a lecture by Dr. Dennis Metrick.
Dr. Metrick spoke about "Automation —
its Effect on Human Nature and Its
Meaning for the Future."
February 21 was DVC at the Spec-
trum night with a bus full of students go-
ing to the Flyers game. Saturday the
23rd, Bentley's was the place for the
Sophomore Dinner Dance.
V The month ended with the Third An-
nual Career Conference. The confer-
ence, sponsored by the Placement Of-
fice, attracted 75 companies to DVC.

April
by Jamie Beck
April was a month of getting ready for
the year ahead. We had pre-registration
and room registration. Everyone will be
prepared for the coming year. On the
3rd. the bloodmobile took blood; and on
the 14th, DVC had its annual Founders'
Day. The Band and Chorale played on
April 16th at the Spring Concert. April
18th the sophomores held a Pizza and
Movie Night. That weekend, on the
20th. "1985 Superstars." where students
enjoyed competition sports, was held.
Student Government held elections for
the coming academic year. We had two
movies shown, Eddie and the Cruisers
and Up the Creek. In addition, we can't
forget Easter on April 7th and A- Day on
April 27th & 28th, which will be the best
A-Day that DVC ever had.

"A Touch of Britain**
Highlights O.H, at DVC
by Bill Rein
Ornamental Horticulture blossomed
throughout the 1984-85 school year at
DVC. Almost every month included
cither lectures, meetings, improvements
or just about anything else ornamental
horticulture could offer us at the college.
Nonetheless, the year did open some-
what sadly with the death of Mrs. Lois
Burpee. Fordhook Farms' resident,
owner and inspiration. Wife of the late
David Burpee (of Burpee's Seeds fame) ,
she was a local humanitarian, a friendly
woman who's concern and generosity
extended to her neighbor. DVC. as well
as to the entire community. Mrs. Burpee
graciously leased the Burpee green-
houses to our school for a nominal fee.
October was Fall Gardening Lecture
Series Month. The O.H. department co-
sponsored the colorful slides-illustrated
programs with the Doylestown Nature
Club. Open to the public, the series was
quite successful, due to such interesting
topics as DVC graduate Bruce Keyser's
walk through forests of "Native Azaleas."
local photographer and writer Marvin
Clymer's naturally enticing "Landscaping
for Wildlife." and Delaware Valley Day-
lily Society president Dr. H.K. Chris-
tiansen's myriad of slides of (what else?)
"Daylilies."
This year the college was the place to
convene ornamentally. On Saturday.
November 10. the college hosted the
day-long Mid-Atlantic Regional Meeting
of the Dwarf Conifer Society. Nursery
owners, propagators and landscapers in
industry, plus three of our OH. teachers,
illustrated and spoke of different aspects
of these dwarfs and how they have been
and could be utilized in the landscape.
Then, as fate would have it, it snowed
for the second year in which the South-
eastern Chapter of the PA Nurseryman's
Association met on a day in January at
DVC. Despite lousy traveling conditions,
people weathered the storm, joining stu-
dents in attending the informative meet-
ing arranged by Dr. Daniel Seik. one of
our OH. profs.
Also this year, the college campus was
getting its first comprehensive labeling of
all shrubs and trees. Coordinated by
OH. instructor Mr. Frederick Ray. the
stamped orange plates are modeled after
those placed in the Morris Arboretum,
and will aid students in identification for
related courses, as well as the public in
"self service" education. ^;:- ^
The result of a year's planning and
work may have been the culmination of
OH. this year when "A Touch of Brit-
ain" came to DVC as the long awaited
and planned 1985 Philadelphia Flower
Show exhibit, "Our Garden Heritage,**
opened in early March. Four students, a
professor and the principal from Merrist
Wood Agricultural College in Surrey,
England, crossed the Atlantic to join us
in constructing the exhibit. Because of
the special nature of the co-exhibit, we
weren't part of the judging this year
(breaking a thirty year tradition) . but we
were honored with the Herb Society of
America Award for the best use of herbs.
Yet nothing this year was probably as
rewarding as meeting, working and mak-
ing friends with our guests from Britain,^

WESTERN EQUESTRIAN
TEAM FIRST IN REGION
The Western Equestrian Team traveled
to Pcnn State on Saturday, April 13 and
was High Point College in the horse
shows sponsored by Penn State. As a
result, DVC has finished the season as
High Point College in the Stock Seat
division of the American Horse Show
Asscx:iation and will represent Region 5
in the national finals to be held in Lex-
ington, Kentucky May 3-6, 1985.
In addition to the team representing

individuals. C.A. Pecorelli is the High
Point rider in Class 13 (Beginner walk-
jog) for the region and Michele Smith is
Reserve High Point rider in Class 16
(Advanced walk-jog- lope).
College Begins Second Phase
of Campus Scfety Program
The second phase of DVC's campus
safety program began today with con-
struction of a system to transport water
to the center of campus for firefighting
purposes.
The project involves digging a well to
service the College's 4(X),(XX)-gallon
water stora^ tank, which was constructed
two years ago as the first step in the
overall plan, installing a high-pressure
pump and laying the necessary pipe to
carry the water up to a fire hydrant. The
cost of the project is estimated at
$125,(X)0.
The third and final step in the updating
and upgrading of the campus water sys-
tem calls for the construction of an un-
derground system to carry water to vari-
ous spots on campus during an emer-
gency. That step should be completed
within three years.
"This is an important development for
the College," said Dr. Arthur Wolf. Vice

President of DVC. "It assures us of an in-
dependent source of water during an
emergency situation. It will also make it
faster and easier to local fire department
p)ersonneI to connect their equipment to
our water supply when time is of the
essence."
Previously, fire-fighters were required
to connect directly with the storage tank
for a water source, which could be a
cumbersome and time-consuming pro-
cess. Under the new system, fire-fighters
will be able to connect directly with
hydrants around campus. Additionally,
water from the stor^e tank will be re-
placed automatically by water from the
well, instead of being replaced by a
separate outside source.
The storage tank is located near the
College's Greenhouse Complex. The
pumping station and well will be con-
structed adjacent to the tank. Pipes will
carry the water over a hill next to the
Krauskopf Library to a hydrant located
near Segal Hall.

ON THE SPORTS FRONT
DUKFS DIARY
Philadelphia:
Best of the Winter Sport ^
Cities (Again)
by Duke Blessing
Out of the eight major cities who field
both professional basketball and hockey
teams, take a wild guess which city fin-
ished with the best combined record?!
Here are some hints: the Big Apple
finished some 60 games behind this city,
the Windy City was off this city's record
by about 35 games, the Car Capital of
the U.S. finished 36 games short and the
Nation's Capital wound up some 24
games short. The State of Beaches came
up 46 games behind and the City of
Smog finished 11 on the short side. The
closest city was the City of the Tea Party
which was off the mark by 10 games.
If you still have no idea, try (the City of
Brotherly Love, Philadelphia)!
Here are the final standings in the
winter sports of 1 984-85 : \.
-'■ W ' V'^''- T
Philadelphia ill 44 7
Boston : 99 53 10
Los Angeles / 96 52 14
Washington ; #S> 67 9
Chicago . ^ 79 7
Detroit f$ 77 12
New Jersey €4 88 10
New York 50 102 10
Once again, the stats prove that year
In and year out. Philadelphia fields top
teams in both sports. Congratulations —

AGGIES SWEPT BY
UPS ALA. 6-1 & 6-4
by Duke Blessing
The DVC Baseball team traveled to
Upsala College needing at least a split to
have any shot at the playoffs.
They probably will have to wait until
next year because the Aggies dropped
both ends of the doubleheader. 6-1 and
6-4 in the nightcap.
Mark Rother lost his first game of the
season as the Aggies could only muster
six hits and a run off of Upsala's Doug
Williams.
As he has all season, junior second
baseman John "Guido" Messina con-
tinued to sting the ball, going two-for-
three at the plate.
In the nightcap, the Aggies held a 4-1
lead going into the bottom of the fourth^,
Upsala scored one in the fourth inning
and took the lead scoring four in the sixth
inning off of Bob McEvoy.
Messina and catcher Clay Funk each
contributed two hits to lead the Aggies in
that department.
The loss drops the Aggies to 7-3 ovet-
ait and 4-2 in the conference.
Aggie Softball Team Crushes
Kings, 13-6 & 10-0
by Duke Blessing
The Aggie Women's Softball team
upped their overall record to 4-2 and
league record to 3- 1 as they swept Kings
College. 13-6 and 10-0. . >.
In the first game, the Aggies went
ahead 7-0 in the very first inning only to
see Kings score six times in the bottom
half of the inning.
Carol Serik braved the arctic-like con-
ditions to record the victory. ^
The Aggies got a 10-0 (ten-run riife)
victory in the second game behind the
strong pitching of Carol Gwynne who
gave up only one hit.
Softball Team Loses Two
to FDU'Madison I
by Duke Blessing
The Aggies dropped a doubleheader
to FDU-Madison due in part to good
FDU pitching.
The 3-2 and 6-3 losses all but elimi-
nated the team from the playoffs as they
saw their conference record drop to 3-3
(4-4 overall).
Carol Serik took the loss in the opener
with T.J. Urban and Lynn Shumack
knocking in the lone runs.
In the nightcap. Shumack's homer
and Michele Heffner's two-run single
were not enough as the Aggies dropped
a 6-3 decision. Carol Gwynne took the
loss for DVC.
AGGIES NIP
Academy of New Church
by Duke Blessing
In the Aggies first home game of the
season, the Men's Lacrosse Club defeated
Academy of New Church College, 8-7.
Offensively. Ed Draper led the charge
with four goals. Marty McMahon scored
two goals and Tom Hertler and Ted
Mellor each scored a goal.
Goalie Ralph Novi was credited with
25 saves The entire defense played a
physical game and performed very well
when pressured.
The victory lifts the club's record to
2-0
BASEBALL TEAM
SPLITS DOUBLEHEADER
AT WILKES
by Duke Blessing
The Aggies dropped to 8-4 overall
and 5-3 in the conference as they split a
doubleheader at Wilkes College, losing
the first. 15-7 and winning the second.
7-4.
In the opening game, the Aggie pitch-
ing staff was roughed up for 15 runs on
13 hits. Mike Heisey led the hitting attack
for DVC with a perfect four-for-four.
First baseman Rodney Swineford had
two hits for the Aggies.
DVC held a 7-6 lead going into the
bottom of the fifth but Wilkes scored
seven runs to put it out of reach.
The second game saw the Aggies
score four times in their last at-bat to take
a 7-4 victory.
Gary Kemberling earned his second
victory of the year with the four-hitter.
Freshman Bobby "Downtown" Browne
continued to impress, going four-for-four
and scoring three runs.

morrow afternoon at Moravian College

by Duke Blessing

Penn State. -

goals. Darren Hasara scored two goals
and defensemen Ron Alfieri and Chris
Kelly each tallied one goal a piece.
Ralph Novi made 25 saves and once
again the Aggie defense was the dif-
ference throughout the game.
Aggies Drop First Game
of the Season
by Duke Blessing
A strong and physical East Strouds-
burg team was a little too much for the
Aggie Lacrosse Club to handle as they
defeated the visiting Aggies 8-3.
Ralph Novi stopped 47 shots while Bill
Moyer. Craig Cole, Bill Madara and Jeff
Pehlke performed well against the more
talented Bobcats.

''In Search of
Excenence**
- DVC Style!
Some of you may have seen the PBS
program "In Search of Excellence" based
on the book of that title by Thomas Peters
and Robert Waterman. The Peters and
Waterman book, based upon an in-depth
study of management practices in such
stellar American Corporations as IBM,
Apple, 3M Hewlett-Packard, Proctor
and Gamble, Delta Airlines, and Mc-
Donald's, identifies a set of features of
management style that excellent organi-
zations seem to have in common. The
message is, of course, that organizations
who attempt to adopt those strategics of
management might benefit accordingly
in terms of productivity.
At the March Faculty Meeting it was
suggested that DVC might profit by
adopting some of the ideas developed by
Peters and Waterman. An ad hoc com-
mittee -^ really more of a discussion
group than a committee — was formed
to explore this possibility. That group has
met three times and has been opened to ^
all members of the Faculty, Staff, and
Administration who may wish to partici-
pate in it. There has been an effort to
avoid getting trapped by the usual self-
imposed restrictions on committees *<^ ' .
specific objectives and deadlines — and
to focus instead on an open dialogue that
will stimulate constructive suggestions
that will help improve our College. A
number of good ideas have been brought
forth from this effort and presented to the
Administration for further consideration.
Ideas to improve DVC are also being
sought via a suggestion box that has
been placed in the lobby of Lasker Hall.
In just its first week, the box drew sugges-
tions from eight members of the Staff :
and Faculty (and from one student).
These ideas are summarized on a weekly
basis, brought before the Administration
for additional consideration, and also
"farmed out" to departments that can
most effectively address them. Several of
the ideas have already been put into ac-
tion. For example, Mrs. Maureen Beans,
our new Assistant Comptroller, sug-
gested that a video tape of PBS broad-
cast, "In Search of Excellence," be
shown on campus at times convenient
for members of the campus community.
Mrs. Judy Davidson in the Media Center
(Eisner Hall) has responded with show-
ings on Monday, April 29 and Wednes-
day, May 1. Dr. James Miller has sug-
gested that the new singing group "The
Green and Gold." that has spun off of
the Chorale might bring its harmony and
highjinks to alumni gatherings and other
campus affairs. Mrs. JoAnn Roberts.
Chorale Director, has responded with a
promise to look for opportunities to use
the group as "DVC ambassadors" as Dr.
Miller has suggested.
Ideas that have no impact, of course
are ideas wasted. And all of us in the
campus community need to work harder
to make good use of good ideas. But
ideas that are not expressed help
nobody. If you have some suggestions
that you believe will help DVC "be all
that it can be," why not use the sugges-
tion box in the Lasker Hall lobby? All
signed suggestions will receive a return
response. Help us "In Search of Ex-
cellence" for DVC.

OUT FROM UNDER THE
EDITORS DESK
This past year has proven to be a suc-
cessful one for the Ram Pages. There
were several changes and additions
which could be deemed successful. The
staff was small but mighty and I wish to
take the time to thank them and also to
congratulate them. I would also like to
thank Joe Ferry and Terry Sommerville
for all of their assistance and support.
AGRONOMY DEPARTMENT
COURSES
The Agronomy Department has add-
ed two courses to its curriculum during
the 1984-85 college year which may be
applied toward teacher certification in
Agriculture in the state of Pennsylvania,
and are available to all students as elec-
tive courses.
Agricultural Building Practices and
Materials (3 credits) was first offered dur-
ing the fall semester with an enrollment
of nineteen students (see photos). This
course stresses construction practices
and skills, interpreting building plans,
estimating and selecting materials, tool
use. carpentry, plumbing, electrical and
masonry skills and agricultural construc-
tion projects.
The second course. Agricultural En-
gines and Power Applications (4 credits)
is offered during the spring semester.
This course includes gasoline and diesel
hnternal combustion engines, small en-
gines, use of electrical power in agricul-
ture, and elctric-arc and oxy-acetylene
welding processes and skills.
These two courses, along with Agricul-
tural Machinery (2 credits) . will fulfill the
nine credits requirement in this subject
area toward the Instructional 1 teaching
certificate. Additional professional agri-
culture credits required for certification
are: Plant and Soil Science, 6 credits;
Animal Science. 6 credits; and Agricul-
tural Economics and Management, 6
credits. These 27 credits are a part of the
total of 41 credits needed in agricultural
icience courses. In addition. 26 credits
are required in professional education,
several courses of which have been avail-
able on our campus in cooperation with
The Pennsylvania State University. It is
therefore possible for those who wish to
l^tain teaching certification in Agricul-
ture to acquire approximately 70 percent
of the course and credit requirements
while a student at DVC.

Reflections of the
Soviet Union ■ ■
; . . ■ ! Moscow 1985 !
March 1 -March 7 — Moscow
It has been almost one year now since
1 have graduated from DVC. I can re-
member the first days of school and
thinking to myself four years was going
to be quite a long time, needless to say
the four years went by quite fast. At this
time I am currently involved with an ex-
change program and am living in Swe-
den, learning the language and doing
volunteer work. 1 have just recently had
the opportunity to travel to the Soviet
Union March 1 — March 7, 1985, about
80 exchangees from Denmark, Sweden.
Finland and Germany had the opportu-
nity to visit the city of Moscow. The
Soviet Union is a place relatively few
Westerners get to visit and is also one
that, prejudices aside, most of us know
little about, so those of us who made the
trip were excited at the prospect of see-
ing and learning much about a very dif-
ferent society.
We met in Helsinki on March 1st for a
half day orientation. One young women
told us of her experiences and feelings
of living in the Soviet Union for four
years. Several exchangees gave presen-
tations of past visits to Moscow as well
as customs and regulations we would be
expected to follow.
That afternoon we left Helsinki for a
16 hour train ride on a Soviet train for
DVC Receives Its First
Ayrshire Constructive
Breeders' Award
The Ayrshire herd at DVC has received
its first Constructive Breeders Award
(CBA) at the 1985 National Ayrshire As-
sociation Convention held in Janesville,
Wisconsin on April 12. Only 25 herds re-
ceived the award throughout the United
States.
The College also took fifth high small
herd (5- 14 cows) honors and sixth high
regardless of herd size for 4% mature
equivalent milk in the nation.
"For the past two years emphasis has
been placed on increasing the College's
Ayrshire herd from an average of six-to-
eight milking cows to at least 10, com-
pleting one lactation during the previous
test year," said Dr. James Harner, Su-
perintendent of the Diary. "The Con-
structive Breeders Award is one of the
most prestigious an Ayrshire breeder can
receive. I think this proves that the diary
program at DVC is a viable one."
The College's Ayrshires' winning per-
formance was based on 10 owner-bred
Moscow. The border-crossing was our
first direct contact with the Soviet sys-
tem. Each of our cabins were searched
and each of us were asked to show our
passport, visa and reading material that
we were carrying.
Saturday morning we arrived in Mos-
cow. Our first taste of Soviet society was
leaving the train station preparing to go
to our hotel. The many Muscovites with
their dark clothed coats and big fur hats
and 80 exchangees with backpacks and
western clothing.
During the five days we were in Mos-
cow we saw most of the sights the city
has to offer. We had a bus tour of the ci-
ty, toured the Kremlin, went to art
museums, visited Lenin's Tomb, went
to an elementary school. Gum — the
market place, Red Square, St. Basil's
Cathedral and Moscow University.
Other outings at night were to the
Moscow circus and concerts at the
Bolshoi Theater. 1 would have to say
our highlight of the trip was our meeting
with Soviet youth. We were able to
have discussions on issues such as USA
and USSR relations, the peace move-
ment and religion in the USSR.
The time spent in Moscow was never
met with tension or impoliteness. The
people of Moscow were always warm
and friendly and went out of their way
to help us. It was quite obvious to them
that we were foreigners because of our
western fashions, manners and of
course languages set us apart from the
dark clothed, very proper Soviets.
However we were all approached many
times 't)y Soviets who were eager to buy
our jeans, ski jackets and western
money, ^ f ^ " ,
Our stay in Moscow was iinet with
much freedom to go and travel where
we wanted throughout the city. Travel-
ing the metro (Soviet subway) and tak-
ing a taxi through Moscow was quite an
experience. Everywhere you go there
are statues, pictures, slogans to the
communist party and Lenin's picture is
seen everywhere.
1 found the Soviet people to be peo-
ple of many different nationalities— not
just Russians. In Moscow you can see
Oriental, Mediterranean and Middle
Eastern faces, all belonging to Soviet
citizens. This time spent in Moscow has
enabled me to separate politics from
people and to realize that they are not
really much different than I am. I was
very glad to have the opportunity to
travel in Moscow, it is safe to say I
would not like to live there though.
This time has given me a chance to
understand a society that is very much
closed but as important to tell others of
my experiences so we may come closer
to understanding and reduce our mis-
conceptions of this society.
cows averaging 16, 282 lb. milk and 636
lb. butterfat with an average type score of
83 points.
The requirements for the Constructive
Breeders Award are quite stringent. At
least 50% of the herd must be bred by
owner with a minimum of 10 animals.
The herd must have completed a Herd
Test year's average on owner-bred ani-
mals, of not less than 110% of the cur-
rent three-year breed average on a
mature equivalent basis or 15.147 lb.
milk and 597 lb. fat. Seventy-five per-
cent of the owner-bred females in milk
must have been inspected under the Na-
tional Association's Uniform Functional
Type Traits program. Finally, the owner-
bred cows included in the summary for
the CBA must have an average type
score of not less than 78 points.
"Through our Student Herdsman and
work study program, students had a sig-
nificant responsibilty for the daily care
and management of the cattle through-
out the year." said Harner. "Also, the
Senior Techniques course students in-
tensely managed a group of cows during
the fall semester."
ON THE SPORTS FRONT
DUKE'S DIARY
ONE FINAL FLING
by: Duke Blessing
• I would like to take this opportunity to
thank my fellow staff members and ad-
visors for an interesting year at the helm.
Being an editor of a section of a paper
gives one a sense of accomplishment, no
matter how small or large the finished
product turns out.
Working on the different projects and
articles throughout the year wet my ap-
petite to someday try to do at least some
writing in my spare time.
Although I may have irked a few peo-
ple at different times through the year. 1
don't really regret anything. My inten-
tions were good, and besides, the writers
that get the recognition and move up the
ladder tend to be those who engage in
touchy situations. Life is not a bowl of
cherries and should not be treated that
way. Controversy is good for the soul, it
wakes the masses out of their stupor.
. I want to wish John good luck next
year in the position and tell him to cori-
sider the source when being criticized.
Oh. before I forget. I hope to see all of
you loyal Philly Fans at the parades next
month!
