Karl Filachek,
New Director

Karl Filachek is the new Director of Security at DelVal

Karl Middleman Named to Faculty at DelVal

Karl D. Middleman, Music Director for the Bucks County Symphony Orchestra,
has been appointed Visiting Professor of Music at Delaware Valley College for the
1989-90 academic year.

In announcing the appointment, College president W.H. Rorer III said: "Mr.
Middleman's presence on our campus, along with visits by the Bucks County
Symphony Orchestra, will provide our students, faculty and staff members with a
meaningful addition to our cultural enrichmant program."

Mr. Middleman, a resident of Philadelphia, has been Music Director for the Bucks
County Symphony Orchestra for seven years. His conducting career began in 1970
when he founded the Philadelphia Classika Symphony Orchestra which performed
outdoor concerts during three summers.

In 1979 he organized the Franklin Sinfonia, a chamber orchestra dedicated to
performing a repertoire of new and unfamiliar American musical works. From 1980
through 1987, Mr. Middleman served as Chorus Director at the Unitarian Church of
Delaware County.

In 1982, Mr. Middleman was appointed Music Director of the Symphony Club' of
Philadelphia, only the sixth person to hold that position in the orchestra's 75-year
history. Between 1985 and 1983 he was a conducting fellow at the Summer Institute of
the American Conductor's Guild. In 1986 he conducted three performances at the
Oregon Bach Festival.

In addition to his conducting activities, Mr. Middleman is active as a composer,
teacher and pianist. He was a member of the faculty at Temple University for 1 1 years
and was recently appointed Music Director for the First Unitarian Church of
Wilmington, Delaware. Mr. Middleman has been recognized by Philadelphia
Magazine and the Human Relations Commission of Philadelphia for his outstanding
contributions to cultural activities in the Delaware Valley.

"I am very excited about joining the Delaware Valley College Faculty," said Mr.
Middleman. "An educational institution is a fine place for the Bucks County
Symphony Orchestra to become an important activity in the lives of everyone,
especially young people. I am looking forward to all the mutual opportunities my
association with Delaware Valley College will bring."

Karl Filachek, recently named Director
of Security for Doylestown's Delaware
Valley College, draws on 28 years of
experience in all divisions of the
Philadelphia Police Department, and on
several years as Security Chief at St.
Joseph's University. He plans to make
campus safety a joint effort between
students and his force of 18 officers.

His slogan, "Arm in Arm for Safety"
states his basic belief that campus security
is a team effort, that all on campus must
assume responsibility for their own, as
well as other's safety, as manifested in
such actions as locking doors, marking
personal possessions, and basically taking
pride in the campus environment.

Filachek stresses, "Apathy is out;
empathy is in. By that I mean that
students cannot have an 'I don't care'
attitude about their own safety. They
must feel a sense of responsibility towards
security and take that responsibilty in
order to maximize safety. Empathy is
important for me and my staff to keep in
mind. We must remember that we are"
dealing with individuals, not with a great
mass of kids. We must understand where
they are coming from. Together, arm in
arm so to speak, we can work to achieve
and maintain a positive, secure and
enjoyable campus environment."

Mr. Filachek is a staunch supporter of
the DVC policy on alcohol. "The
Pennsylvania law says no one can drink
unless they are age 21. Why should our
rules be different? The students are part
of a society which made the laws. As
members of that society they must abide
by them," he states.

"Our job on campus is to enforce the
policies and procedures, to make the
DVC campus environment as pleasant
and as easy as possible, not to create
problems," he continues. He is eager to
implement his plans to increase com-
munications, to strengthen inter-group

Notes From
The Security
Director —

Byf Karl L. Filachek

"Arm In Arm For Safety*' ts the
DVC theme for safety and security. As
your new Security Director, I'd like to
welcome all students to DelVal's campus,
whether for the first time or as a returning
student. Like our Freshmen, I also am
new to DelVal.

Our campus is very much like a small
community and the security of it depends
on the entire DelVal population. To
depend entirely on the security officers
of our college for thisf important function
would only expose everyone to the whims
of caprice where safety is concerned.

As we begin a new school year, I will
endeavor to publish an article bi-weekly
which will delineate, explain and/or
caution our community on the security
situation at DelVal. I intend to tell it like it
is. It is to your advantage to know what is
going on in your community. At the same
time I intend to provide some advice on
how individuals can minimize their
becoming victim to illegal activity.

As a start we have initiated a shuttle
van service on Monday through
Thursdays, from 6:30 p.m. until 10:30
p.m. This service is available to all
members of the campus community.
Stops are made in the main parking lot,
library, Hort, Mandell and Allman
buildings. I hof)e this service will be
utilized.

This irtkial'item ' is necessarily short.
However, if you have an idea, question
or suggestion concerning the Security
Deparment, stop in and see me or drop
me a note. I will be happy to conskier
every item, and it will indicate your
interest in our campus community.

Upcoming Hilel
Events

October 28 — Barbeque and hay ride.
The event is open to the students.

ATTENTION
FISHERMAN

Recently, the Ecology Class began a
fish tagging program in Lake Archer.
Over 100 fish were tagged and are now
plying the depths of our pond. The
species marked include the carp, goldfish,
largemouth bass, catfish, and panfish
(mostly bluegills). This is the beginning of
an ongoing study to determine the
condition of the populations in the lake.
The tags are yellow dart type tags that
are 2 inches long, they are located
alongside the dorsal fin on the left side
and are readily visible. Each tag is
numbered and the information about
that fish is stored on a computer disk in
Mr. Johnson's office. Should you catch
one of these fish, PLEASE return the tag
to Mr. Johnson ( AgB 1 10, ext. 2326) and
include as much of the following in-
formation as possible.
When Caught
Type of Fish
Length of Fish (either total or fork)
Weight of Fish.

To determine if the fish you caught is a
carp or a goldfish, (the two species most
frequently caught) use the whiskers or
barbels test. If your fish has whiskers
around the mouth, it is a carp; if it is clean
shaven, it is a goldfish, even if it is not
gold.

Your help in this matter is greatly
appreciated. If you are interested, there
is a loosely knit fishing club on campus.
Trips to fish Lake Ontario, the Delaware
River, Tohickon Creek and the Jersey
Shore have been don^ in the fMSt. If you
are interested, please stop by Mr.
Johnson's office and get on the mailing
Hst. The only requirements are a love of
fishing, the ability to keep secrets and to
be able to tell a whopper with a straight
face. Good Fishing.

DelVal

Expands Floriculture

Department

To complement its nationally renowned
four year Bachelor of Science degree
program in Floriculture, DelVal has
designed a new, one year non-degree
program, Floral Business, available for
fall semester, 1989. It is geared to the
mature student who might not have the
time, need, or finances for the traditional
degree program. The Floral Business
program provides a good balance
between professional and business course
work, and is geared to help the student
find quick entry into floral business.

Dr. John Martin, Chairman of the
Depjartment of Ornamental Horticulture
and Environmental Design explains that
"Delaware Valley College's Floral
Business certificate offers many ad-
vantages over design school, workshops,
short courses and proprietary school.
Each course earns full college credit
which can be transferred to any degree
program, if desired. It is the only program
of its kind to be offered in Pennsylvania.
People are starting to rediscover the
tremcTxious career opportunities in Floral
Business. We are ready for that re-
surgence of interest."

Dr. Martin ix>ints out that Americans
are spending more on flowers, plants,
floral design and interiorscaping than
ever before, making Floral Business one
of the fastest growing segments of
Agribusiness. It represents billions upon
billions in consumer dollars, world wide.

For further information about the Floral
Business program at Delaware Valley
College, write to Continuing Education,

DVC Riders
Take Ribbons

On June 18, 1989, two riders and two
horses from Delaware Valley College
took good ribbons at the Dressage
Schooling Show held in Wrightstown,
PA, sponsored by Bridle Path 4-H Club.

Corrine Herb, a junior Equine Science
major on DVC's Dr. Frederick, a Belgian
cross gelding, and Lynne Willoughby,
Assistant to the Director of Equine
Science, aboard DVC's Andy, a
Thoroughbred gelding, both competed
well.

Corrine and Dr. Frederick excelled in
their training level one and two tests by
placing third in each. Lynne and Andy
took third and fourth place in their
training level three and four tests. Lynne
competed also on Turk, a Trakehner
gelding, newly started in Dressage. They
won two firsts in their training level one
and two tests.

Ram pages need your help.

We need reporters and photographers
who are willing to take a few minutes of
their time to submit materials for
publication. One will receive 0.5 credits
per semester for the effort which is
applied toward Liberal Arts requirements.
If the Wednesday 1:30 p.m. meeting fime
is inconvenient for one to attend, other
arrangements can be made. We also
encourage clubs, faculty and staff to
submit materials. Since a handful of
people cannot cover ail campus events, if
we don't know about the event or receive
information, we can't print anything about
it. The future of the student paper is in
questiqn. There are some people to
whom this doesn't matter one way or
another, but there are other people who
would be disturbed by this, as they do
look forward to reading Ram Pages each
week to catch up on campus happenings
We want to remind everyone that this is
a student publication, meaning student
body, not two or three people strainmg
to cater to the publishing desires of
several hundred. Are you interested in
joining the staff? Wguld you like your

A warm welcome to all new and
returning students. A new school year
brings with it many feelings... enthusiasm,
anticipation, warmth in meeting new
friends and re-establishing old friendships,
new independence, etc.. But along with
these good feelings, often times there are
equally strong feelings of fear, home-
sickness, academic pressure and
generally a feeling of being overwhelmed
with the adjustment to new surroundings
and respxDnsibilities.

relationships among students, admin-
istrators, parents and his security staff.
In order to challenge the inevitable
problems which plague any college
campus, he plans to introduce several
security innovations over the course of
the school year which will maximize
good feelings and minimize problems on
the DVC campus.

Mr. Filachek's empathctic approach
to campus security is underscored when
he stresses that his role at DVC is as
Director of Security, not as a police
officer. This concept is brought to light
by the fact that he is never in uniform,
but can always be spotted in jacket and
tie - - an approach he feels enhances
good feelings and creates no barrier to
prevent positive interpersonal relations.
His staff is uniformed at all times for
quick and easy identification and to
command respect which oftentimes, in
itself, deters crime.

A graduate of Villanova University,
Mr. Filachek holds a Bachelor of Arts
degree in the humanities and is a member
of Alpha Sigma Lambda, the national
honor society for evening school
students. He attended a year-long course
in special police training at Northwestern
University and is a certified Municipal
Police Instructor. Married for 31 years,
Mr. Filachek is proud of his three
daughters and three grandchildren. His
spare time is filled fishing off of his boat at
the Jersey Shore, tinkering at the piano
and the accordian, building sailing ship
models and furniture, and playing tennis.

"My biggest challenge," Mr. filachek
muses, "is to get our students to THINK
security. If I can accomplish that, we're
half way there!"

"DOLLY" GROSS NAMED VISITING
INSTRUCTOR OF MUSIC AT DEL VAL

She took her ffrst organ lessons at age twelve. She was playing professionally at age
14. Eleanor Gross has been learning, playing and teaching ever since. Her love of
music culminated last year in the creation of the Community Conservatory of Music,
located on the campus of DelVal. This summer she was named a member of the
College's adjunct faculty as Visiting Instructor of Music. With a solid base of
operations at the College, the Community Conservatory of Music will allow DVC
students to enjoy the enrichment of many musical opportunities as they are
incorporated into the undergraduate program.

Living in Buckingham, this mother of three and grandmother of two initially put her
love of music into practice with organ lessons when she was twelve. Two years later a
local church hired her as Organist. Dolly earned her Bachelor of Music degree from
Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey. She received additional
training at the Ecole Nationale de Musique in France, and the Cambridge Choral
Seminar in England. She learned the skills of managing a music school at the
Management Institute, National Guild of Community Schools for the Arts in
Massachusetts. Sharing her years of training, Dolly has been a private studio
instructor of organ and piano for over twenty five years.

Always involved in church organ and choir work, Dolly was most recently Organist
and Choir Director at Saint Paul's Episcopal Church in Doylestown for seven years.
Prior to that she was similarly involved with Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Trenton,
New Jersey. Her current activities revolve around her position as Founder and
Director of the Community Conservatory of Music where she also teaches.

Knowing What a wonderful difference music can make in people's lives, Dolly had
been dreaming for 15 years of a school which could offer musical opportunities to the
community. The liason between DelVal allowed her dream to come true. Housed in a
cozy historic mansion on the DVC campus, the Community Conservatory of Music
opened last fall.

Over 150 students, ranging in age from three to retired adults, have studied at the
Conservatory during the Schpol 's first year of operation. The school is now a
member of the National Guild of Community Schools for the Arts. Dolly is proud of
the Conservatory's high calibre of instruction as well as of its broad course offerings.
For further information, call the Conservatory at 340-7979.

DVC DESIGNATED AS CLEP SITE

Adults in Bucks and Montgomery Counties now have the opportunity to
participate in a national testing program designed to help them evaluate their own
educational accomplishments and to get recognition of these accomplishments from
their employer or from a college or university. The tests, part of the College-Level
Examination Program (CLEP) of the College Board, are given every month, except
February and December, under the coordination of Frank Hofstaedter, Chairman of
the Mathematics and Physics Department at DelVal.

CLEP, according to Hofstaedter, is designed primarily to serve men and women
who have furthered their education by independent study, (correspondence courses,
on-the-job training, evening school or other non-traditional forms of study. Many
colleges are also using the CLEP tests to evaluate students with more traditional
academic preparation. Various employers and agencies use the CLEP tests as a way
to recognize college equivalency for promotion, admission to advanced training,
licensing, or certification.

way, these new doors cost us $13, 800!

. . Your concern about the high room
temperatures in Berkowitz is under-
stood. We are trying our very best,
but the wide variations in the outside
temps do cause us problems with heat
control.

. . Thanks for bringing to our attention
that certain employees were smoking
in violation of the No Smoking sign.
Corrective action, I'm told, has been
taken.

. . Commuters are reminded that our
student Commuter Representative is
David Young and he needs to learn
your desires. Additional people who
are "tuned" to receive suggestions of
this nature are our Senior Class
President, Ms. Sandi Solimene, as
well as the Dean for Women, Mrs.
Phyllis Shields.

. . Concerning one person's comments
on breakfast. We're delighted that
overall you are happy. We wii* try to
provide a greater variety of choices in
the future. You need to know many
students have expressed great satis-

Larry Hepner in his new assign-

Mr. Hepner and know he's off to a fine
start.

We sent you the same, as soon as you
called us. Thanks!

. . Suggestions like: "Let DVC open
doors for you." or "Learn to manage
your turf." are always appreciated.

. . Thanks for the call concerning our
alcohol policy on campus. You all
know what the laws are and what
actions we, therefore, must take. As

CLEP site

Those interested in taking CLEP tests should check with the college, employer or
agency in which they are interested to learn how their CLEP tests results might be
use. The College Board, an association of about 1,(K)0 colleges, universities and
schools and the sponsor of CLEP, does not itself award credit or on-the-job
recognition. Such credit of recognition is granted by the college, company or agency
that uses CLEP scores.

Two kinds of tests are available withiri CLEP. The General Examinations measure
an individual's achievement in broad areas of knowledge. They are not based on
specific college courses but, instead, seek to cover the broad scope of studies
required of most students during their first two years of college.

The General Examinations are complemented by a number of Subject
Examinations, each of which is designed to evaluate an individual's accomplishment
in the area of a specific college course. Tests are offered in subject areas ranging from
Analysis and Interpretation of Literature to Computers and Data Processing.

Registration materials for any of the CLEP tests are available at no charge from the
College-Level Examination Program, Princeton, New Jersey 08541, or from
Hofstaedter at Delaware Valley College.

International firms and government agencies
value the skills and knowledge mastered during
Peace Corps service.

DelVal Wrestling Team is Dominant

At the Binghamton (N.Y.) Wrestling Tournament Saturday, November 11, 1989
Delaware Valley came away with the team title over the other teams. D. V.C. had 134
points to the second place team Lycoming with 84 V2.

Each school was permitted to enter two (2) wrestlers in each weight class and as a
result the Aggie's dominated the finals with seven (7) finalist and came away with
seven (7) champions out of a possible ten ( 10). As a matter of fact D. V.C. has the first
and second place finishes in four of the weight classes. Dave Perina was first at 1 18,
Chuck McGrath was first at 126 and D.V.C.'s Mike Elder was second. Bob Modryn-
chuk was first at 134, D.V.C. DeMetri Kangas was second. Chris Hoover was
champion at 142. Tony Rizzolino was third at 150, Mark Ambrose, defending
N.C.A.A. champions was first at 158 while D.V.C. Rich Defulvio was runner-up.
Frank Pershpalaj was first at 167 and Mickey Marshall was third. At 190, Ron Ferrezzi
was third at heavyweight. Dan Wehr was champion and D.V.C.'s Ron Sowers was
second. Out of twenty-one (21) wrestlers from D.V.C. who went, fifteen (15) of them
placed in the top 3.

DelVal coach Bob Marshall said the tournament was "a real workout and a good
tournament for the guys to be in" as a preparation for the season.

The Aggie's next action will be the York Tournament Saturday, December 2nd.

Bucks County
Honey Show

The Annual Bucks County Honey
Show was recently held on the Delaware
Valley Campus. It was judged by the
College's beekeeping specialist Dr.
Berthold, and he was assisted by
members of the College's beekeeping
club, which also provided the prizes.

The entries were judged based on
their floral source, their clarity, their
moisture content, their freedom from
crystals, their flavor, and their packaging.
Local winners were Harold Steeley of
Ottsville, PA in the dark honey and
beeswax categories. Mr. Steeley also
won the sweepsteak prize for scoring the
most points. Al Effrig who has his apiary
in Hilltown and lives in Philadelphia won
the light honey category.

During the meeting held in conjunction
with the honey show, Nick Jiorgainni a
DVC Biology major discussed his summer
work with the N.J. Department of
Agriculture, which involved diagnosis for
mite pests of honey bees and for the
Africanized honey bee. Dan French

culture sponsored researched dealing

Beeswax Candle making
Workshop Scheduled

The Delaware Valley College Apiary
Society in conjunction with the College
will be sponsoring an evening workshop
dealing with the making of Beeswax
Candles. The workshop will be held on
Tuesday, December 12, 1989 starting at
7:00 P.M. in the All Purpose Room of the
Student Center located on the Delaware
Valley Campus fronting on Route 202
south of Doylestown, PA. The workshop
is open to anyone interested in par-
ticipating and there will be a rK)niinal
charge for materials used. The workshop
is designed so that those partk: ipating
will make beeswax candle(s) to take
home with them.

Beeswax is considered to be the most
ideal wax for making candles, since
beeswax candles burn appreciably longer
than those made from paraffin, plus
burning beeswax produces a distinct
fragrance. Although beeswax will be used
exclusively in the workshop, the tech-
niques demonstrated can also be used to
make paraffin candles. Those attending
the workshop will have the option of
making a variety of different types of
beeswax candles.

The workshop will be under the
direction of Dr. Bob Berthold the
College's beekeeping expert and an
authority on beeswax and candle making.
He will be assisted by the members of the
Delaware Valley College Student Bee-
keeping Club. Why not join us and spend
an enjoyable evening making candles for
the Christmas Season. Further infor-
mation can be obtained by calling the
College at 345-1500.

with the development of a rapid, accurate,
and easy to use field method for detecting
honey bee diseases.

The county association also elected
Miss Christina Holeman as their 1989
honey queen. Miss Holeman is a current
freshman majoring in Ornamental Horti-
culture and an active member of the
college's Apiary Society. Christine is a
native of Wiggins, Colorado, and she is
also a member of the Delaware Valley
College Women's Cross Country Team.

Dear Editors

I am concerned about an issue that
none of the student body here at DelVal
can escape. This issue affects us all in
one way or another and is currently a
major topic of discussion among many of
the student leaders here. The subject of
which I am referring is APATHY. The
lack of emotion and feeling of concern
seem to be the trend here on campus. In
my four years here, apathy is at an all-
time high and not a pleasant subject to
discuss. I realize that things occur in
cycles and that focus is often shifted to
other areas, but a college campus should
not be full of such lethargic young adults
as we seem to have here at times. I am
not claiming to be "Joe Activities", but I

Dear Editors.

have done my share over the years. It
certainly would be encouraging to see a
full house at a dance more often or a
quorum at a club meeting. I think I
express the opinion of many a student
leader here on campus, who would like
to see a change. If each person on this
campus would get ACTIVELY involved
in ONE extracurricular club or organiza
tion (and I'm discluding intramural athlet
ics, though not discrediting those already
active in such endeavors), on our cam-
pus, I think we Aggies would eliminate
much of the negativity and finger point-
ing that go on around here.

So, what do you say, folks? Let's do it
up, and do it up right next semester!

Sincerely) concerned,
Brad A. Bittner

A GREAT GIFT IDEA

Despite what the media had or had not
disclosed in last year's Alar scare in the
apple industry and the Chilean grape
fiasco, fresh fruit is still your best bet for a
healthy snack. It satisfies the sweet tooth
and provides a healthy addition to your
diet. Fresh fruit is also a great gift idea,
and there's no better time to give a gift
than at Christmas, right?

So, for that person(s) who has every
thing, or for the fruit lover in your life,
why not a delicious nutritious fruit basket
or box from your friendly neighborhood
Horticulture Society member? At only
$12 per box and $8 per box, it's a great
bargain that you can really sink your
teeth into! Coming soqn from a member
near you! Note; a $5 and $3 deposit at the
time of ordering is required per basket or
box, respectively.

Leukemia

suspect:

Marijuana

B^ Tom Friend

USA TODAY, Oct. 16, 1989

A major new study is under way to
determine whether a woman who smokes
marijuana during pregnancy increases
her child's risk of developing a rare form
of leukemia.

The National Cancer Institute is fund
ing the study, based on a preliminary
survey suggesting marijuana use raises
the risk of noni\;mphoblastic leukemia
1 1 times. This form accounts for 15 per
cent of childhood leukemias; it's most
common in adults exposed to chemicals
or radiation.

"We found the association only in a
small number of cases, but it was so strik-
ing that we couldn't totally ignore it,"
says epidemiologist Leslie L. Robison of
the University of Minnesota in Minnea
polis. "However, the association coukl
have appeared by chance alone."

In the new study, Robison and
researchers with the California-hased
Children's Cancer Study Group will
examine 800 leukemia cases and to what
extent each child's mother used mari-
juana and was exposed to other potential
risk factors such as pesticides.

Robison says the possible link between
marijuana and leukemia was uncovered
while looking for risks due to pesticide
exposure. Last month, he reported a
"consistent association" with leukemia
and pesticide exposure — during preg-
nancy and directly to children.

A significant proportion of marijuana
used in the USA is sprayed with pesti-
cides, but the preliminary survey singled
out marijuana as an independent risk
factor, says Robison.

Speech Showdown: Besides the skimpy
cheese sandwiches Just what is wrong
with DVC?

On Wednesday, November 15 at 11:20 in the first ever Speech Showdown! The
event was a collaborative effort of the speech classes taught by Mrs. Joanne Roberts,
Mrs. Linda Kosh, and Dr. Roberta Diamond. Fourteen students participated in an
impromptu debate format that allowed little to no preparation time and forced the
speaker to speak on a side which he or she might disagree with. The two topics drawn
by lot were: 1) "What's right and wrong with DVC?" and 2) The pros and cons of
outlawing capital punishment.

About fifty students watched and cheered the debate as well as a Shakespearian
reading an impromptu joke by David Bartholmew. The participants were all judged
the top speakers in their classes. They were:

Topic A; What'a wrong and right Topic B; Capital punishment
with DVC? should be abolished

1. Carol Trember 8. DougLinde

2. Chris Tice 9.

3. Jaymes Finafronk 10.

4. SamBork 11.

5. James Wabals 12.

6. Stephanie Mason 13.

7. Clayton Andrews 14.
The judges were the three speech teachers, plus Dr. Richard Ziemer and librarian

Karen Byrne. They had only three minutes or less to judge each speaker, but awarded
the first prize ($20) to David Young for his affirmative support of "an eye for an eye"
capital punishment. Second prize ($15) went to James Wabals and third prize ($10)
went to Amin Ahmadzadeh. All participatents received scrolls attesting to their
outstanding speech efforts. Cider, pretzels, and spiced cookies were served to the
audience. It left many wishing we really had a debate team or club at DelVal. So,
Speak Up!

THE HAPPY VALLEY
TRILOGY

Once upon a time there was a place
called Happy Valley. And everyone was
HAPPY. And if you were not happy for
any particular reason you had the ability
and right to call the Evil King's special
Hotline! HV-1 (Happy Valley • 1). Well,
one day a lowly peasant was displeased
with the Evil King's STORM TROOPERS.
When this lowly peasant tried to call
Happy Valley - 1, the Storm Trooper had
no idea what the peasant was talking
about! So, the peasant explained it to
him. The Storm Trooper, because of his
relatively low volume of grey matter, still
didn't understand. Finally, the peasant
explained exactly what to do, and the
Storm Trooper, with great difficulty, did
it.

The peasant was overjoyed that he
was going to get his chance to actually
leave a message for the Evil King! But
when Happy Valley — 1 answered, to his
surprise, it immediately hung-up on him
before a single word had left his lips. All
the peasant could say was, "WHY DID
THIS HAPPEN? Does the Evil King not
care about us?" Saddened by this, the
peasant gave up hope for any change in
Happy Valley. Sincerely,

NEW PSYCH MINOR AT
DEL VAL

A new Psychology minor is now
available to all students matriculated in a
four-year degree program at Delaware
Valley College. The minor requires
completion of five three-credit courses in
Psychology. These courses are: Intro-
duction to Psychology; Abnormal
Psychology; Educational Psychology;
Social Psychology; and Biometrics which
has to do with statistical predictions as
they involve and impact people.

Dr Roberta Dimond, Professor of
Liberal Arts, explains that "because
Psychology is the study of human
behavior, it impacts every career ■ ■ from
parent and housewife to the highly trained
professional. Every life and every career
needs to effectively understand the
dynamics .of human behavior. With
Psychology in your academic back-
ground, you can better identify your own
motivations and perhaps raise your self-
esteem. You certainly will be a better
worker, boss, businessman, and com-
municator because you will learn what
makes you and the other people in the
world "tick." All of us need to use the
knowledge of human emotion and
motivation on a day-to-day basis. We are
excited about this minor which is jointly
taught by Math and Psychology staff."

"Delaware Valley College students will
profit because of the opportunities for
success it will provide in their careers
and because it might awaken an interest
in psychology which could lead to
graduate studies," Dr. Dimond continues.

The Psychology minor is offered both
during the day, as well as in the evening
in the Continuing Education curriculum.
For more information about this program,
please call Dr. Richard Ziemer at DVC,
345-1500, extension 2250.

Rorer's Hot Line:

.. We have a reply for the student who
called about the bird noise on the
second floor of Cooke. It was
determined that a student had the
birds here for a very brief period as the
birds were part of the student's class
project.

.. Sorry, about the brief period you all
were without heat in Cooke last week,
but the fuel tank unexpectedly ran
dry. We'll do our best to not let that
happen again.

.. Yes, we all wish that housing for
married student personnel was avail-
able on campus. This is a matter
which is getting a close review at this
time.

.. Thanks for your interest in Christmas
music from Lasker Hall. The music
was started on December 5th.

.. I am happy to report that the fans are
now working again in the bathrooms
of Goldman 2nd.

.. Especially for Security - "I want to
thank Security for what they did for
my friends on Saturday morning when
their car broke down. You did an
excellent job getting jumper cables
and the needed help. Thank you
Security."

.. The complaint about the alarm going
off in Cooke Hall and the slow response
from Security has been noted to both
the Dean of Students Office and
Security. We hope to do much better
in the future. Thanks for your call!

The College is presently hosting a
group of visitors from the People's
Republic of China. As members of an
institute operated by the Ministry of
Commerce they are official represent-
atives of the Chinese government. In
that capacity they represent the govern-
ment responsible for the recent massacre
of innocent students whose only crime
was a nonviolent plea for basic human
rights. Those lucky enough to survive
the guns and tanks, but unlucky enough
to have been taken into custody are now
languishing in prison or indoctrination
centers.

The Chinese government can hose
the blood from the pavement of

Tiananmen Square, but they can't wash
the graphic images from our minds.
Anyone who feels that we can resume
business as usual is guilty of complicity.
The students' deaths will truly be in vain
if we allow ourselves to forget their
ultimate sacrifice.

I would like to propose that those
members of the campus community who
feel as I do wear a black arm band
through next week in memory of the
murdered Chinese students.

Arm bands will be available beginning
this coming Monday at my office, Mandell
205.

From the Security

Director

Karl L. Filachek

Recently there has been much dis-
cussion about a proposed change in the
visitation policy of DelVal. Recent
legislative requirements (Pa. Act 88.73)
has served notice on all colleges and
universities within Pennsylvania to
critically evaluate their security pro-
cedures. Visitation policies are part of
this evaluation.

In the near future, information will be
distributed advising students of this
change in procedure. All who parti-
cipated in this revision were extremely
concerned that there was no infringement
on student's rights and freedoms.
Members of Student Life, R.A.'s, C.C.'s
and Security have consulted together
over the last two months to come up with
a workable procedure.

The new procedure requires all visitors
to adequately and completely identity
themselves. It also requires DelVal
students to vouch for their visitors and
be responsible for their visitor's actions.
This does not seem to be too much of a
requirement when the result will b« a
higher level of safety for our ciWTipus
community. Unfortunately, any increae
in security results in a decrease in
convenience, but hopefully this incon-
venience will be kept to a minimum. The
new policy has been tried off and on for
the last month and certainly seems to be
workable. If we all keep security in mind
and actively participate, we can make
DelVal safer.

Dear Editors.

Your offices have been instrumental
in many attempts to improve academic
life here at Delaware Valley College.
Two of the changes that come to mind
arc the professor evaluation forms and
the much needed and up to date
scheduling system. The latter change
was long in coining and seems to be
quite successful.

Lately 1 have spoken to several
students at other colleges and univer-
sities about how they do certain things
at their respective institutions. Thinking
about these conversations, I have
another change I would like to see
implemented here as well. This change,
I am sure, will be supported by most
students and faculty. This change could
be aptly named "DEAD WEEK." What
is it. you may ask? Well, "DEAD WEEK"
would prohibit professors from giving
quizzes and tests the week before final
examinations and require them only to
instruct lectures and laboratories as
normal. It would elimninate much of the
test anxiety heading into finals week

and would most likely improve the
performance on such examinations.

Some professors claim that a test or
quiz the week before final exams will
lessen the amount of studying one has
to do for the final exam, but it also puts
an added burden on the student because
it is harder to focus on those tests due
to pressure of term papers, upcoming
holidays or vacations, other tests or
quizzes and the final examinations
themselves.

Please think about my idea and let me
know how you feel concerning such.
Thank you.

Reply.

Thank you for your memorandum of
November 29, 1989. I feel you should
know my position.

First, our visitors are not represent-
atives of the government of The Peoples
Republic of China anymore than you
would be a representative of President
Bush if, in expanding the international
interests of this College, you visited
France or Germany to speak about
your field. They are representatives of
their college and they are seeking a
relationship with a sister institution to
enhance High Science Agriculture,
Sciences and to impact positvely, but
indirectly, in such areas as the world
food supply, hunger and to work
positively with people of other nations
in behalf of world peace. In the first
seven days of their visit, there has been
absolutely no discussion of political or
ideology matters. To the best of our
knowledge they are friendly, serious,
caring people who are concerned with
their college and their college students.

On coming to Delaware Valley College
two and half years ago, I found an
institution which was described as an
"essential secret" which hardly reached
beyond the borders of Doylestown. In
fact, some say it did not even reach into
Doylestown. It was and is, however a
fine institution with a fine faculty, strong
courses and a great deal to offer; not
only to our area of the world, but to the
whole world. A natural and immediately
noticeable opportunity then was to

branch out into the third world. We
picked the third world because n>any
other colleges are already working with
the developed western world and,
therefore, the third world in combination
with our particular expertise in High
Science Agriculture offered a major
opportunity both for this College, its
faculty and students, and to do good
work in the world toward world peace.
This idea was then taken up by the
entire agricultural faculty who worked
during the Christmas period of 1987 to
develop the Third World Project.
The project resulted in a very favorable
relationship in Haiti with a sister in-
stitution, the American University of Le
Cayes, in which we have had the
involvement of one U.S. Congressman
and the possibility of receiving federal
aid through A.I.D., a positive relationship
in Poland, a beginning relationship in
Venezuela and the current relationship
with mainland China.

With the explosion of electronics and
communications throughout the world
people are talking to people, and as
people talk armies and military forces
are being curtailed. The great events
going on in eastern Europe are an
outcome of increased communications
which have brought knowledge of the
standard of life in the western world
behind the Iron Curtain. This, in turn,
has resulted in the Curtain collapsing.
Would you have objected to a visit to

Continued from page 2
the College by a group of professors
from a University in east Germany?
That same group may have been in on
the great activities which are occurring
in eastern Europe right now very
positive activities enhancing the spirit of
freedom.

And isn't it interesting that our visitors
were welcomed for a special tour of the
White House, several agencies of the
Federal Government and received a
special explanation in Manderin Chinese
when visiting the Liberty Bell and
Independence Hall. Also Congressman
Kostmayer asked to and did meet them.

When I was a young military officer
my politics were considerably right of
center, I spoke the ultra patriotic line.
(When I was a child I spake as a
child...)*. Now I realize that activities
such as this visit have a very positive
effect on the visitors. You cannot visit
and see America at Christmastime
without forming very strong impressions

about the vitality and success of our
society. In short while we have many
problems (such as homeless people), a
great deal is going right here and it is
probably going better here than almost
any other nation in the world.

Beyond that, I am concerned that
one of our College leaders would take a
last minute action of this type when it
has been well known that, with some of
the same considerations that you
express, we have carefully considered
this visit and on balance decided that it
is appropriate, positive and may lead
not only to good things for our faculty
and students, but in the long run to very
great events such as we are seeing in
eastern Europe today. Quite frankly, I
would like to be part of these great
events.

Your absolute right to express your
opinion as a citizen of this greal country
is deeply and positively respected.
Reasonable men of goodwill can agree
to disagree.

1990 College Newspaper Workshop

The ninth national College Newspaper
Workshop will take place June 28-July
1, 1990, at Winthrop College. You and
your newspaper staff are invited to
begin making plans to participate in the
workshop to gain new ideas and develop
journalistic skills for your 199091
editions.

The workshop will be a sequenced
educational program that will train your
editors and staff writers. We ecnourage
you to send as many staff members as
possible. All can benefit from learning
about the broad scope of college news
papers, not just their specialized
positions.

Three major sequences will be offered:

* Editor's Sequence — designed
for Editors in chief and other major
editors. Each newspaper will want at
least one person in the sequence.

* Business Managers' Sequence

—designed to help business and
advertising managers organize and
improve their business operations.

* Writers' sequence — designed
to emphasize news, feature and edi
torial writing techniques.
Advisers may take part in any

sequence. Students and advisers may
alterante among the sequences, choos-
ing the sessions that interest them
most. Workshop leaders will confer

with staff groups to help them with spe-
cific plans. A review and critique of your
newspaper with a workshop leader will
be scheduled during the workshop.

Instructors will include Nancy L.
Green, formerly of the Universities of
Texas and Kentucky; Roger Carlson,
St. Louis Communfty College at Floris-
sant Valley; Glenn Robinson, Eastern
Illinois University; and Haney Howell
and William Click, Winthrop.

The workshop will begin at 6 p.m.
Thursday, June 28, and continue until
noon Sunday, July 1 . A workshop fee of
$240 per person double occupancy
covers residence hall room, three group
meals, and workshop instruction,
materials and services. Single occupancy
rooms in the Winthrop Conference
Center may be available for an addi-
tional $60, making the total conference
fee $300.

The first seven workshops took place
at Ohio University and the eighth last
year at Winthrop, a state college con-
veniently located 20 miles south of
Charlotte, NC, on Interstate 77. Char-
lotte International Airport is 25 minutes
away. The Winthrop Conference Cen-
ter and other campus facilities are ideal
for this working experience in college
journalism.

A brochure will be available in the
spring.

The Mechanical Honey Bee

On Thursday evening, March 29,
1990 beginning at 8:00 p.m. in the Music
Room on the second floor of the Student
Center of Delaware Valley College in
Doylestown, PA, Dr. William Towne
will be presenting a talk dealing with the
Mechanical Honey Bee. The meeting is
being sponsored by the College, the
College's Beekeeping Club, and the
Bucks and Montgomery County Bee-
keeping Associations.

Dr. William Towne is an Assistant
Professor of Biology, Kutztown

University, Kutztown, PA. His talk will
deal with the mechanical honey bee.
Dr. Towne recently collaborated with
some European honey bee researchers
to design and construct a computer-
operated mechanical honey bee. With
their mechanical bee, the researchers
have been able to emulate normal honey
bee dances within the hive. Their
research was recently covered in a
feature article in the National Geo-
graphic. It was also the cover story in

PHEAA State Work-
Studv Program

Are you looking forward to another
summer of flipping burgers and mowing
lawns? Well, Pennsylvania Higher Edu-
cation Assistance Agency (PHEAA),
the state Agency that administers the /
state grant and student loan programs
has a better idea. It's the State Work
Study Program (SWSP).

SWSP allows the Commmonwcalth's
students to get career-related exper-
ience and cash to help pay for school
next fall.

Suppported by funds appropriated
each year by the Pennsylvania General
Assembly, SWSP has a job bank of
employers who are willing to hire stu
dents in their field of study.

Last year, about 1,000 students took
advantage of SWSP. They chose from a
job bank of 3,000 SWSP jobs and
earned more than $1.7 million.

Angela Parenti, a graduate of Gan-
non University, was a SWSP student
employee of Microbac Laboratories,
Inc. and is now employed with them
full-time as a chemist. "SWSP was a
really good learning experience because
it tied what I was learning in the class-
room to real situations," states Parenti.
"The money I earned helf)ed a lot with
my school expenses. Without the SWSP
job, I probably would have had to bor-
row more."

Rodney Finalle, a first year medical
student at the University of Pennsylva-
nia, has this to say about his work expe-
rience as a SWSP student employee
with DuBois Regional Medical Center,
"My SWSP job was a great experience
because it gave me a fascinating look
into my field of study."

Application for the State Work-Study
Program is easy and both undergrad-
uate and graduate students are en-
couraged to apply.

For eligibility requirements, applica-
tions and more information about
SWSP, contact the Financial Aid Officer
at your school or call the PHEAA State
Work Study staff at (717) 257-2550.

Honey Bee

Continued from page 1

Science News, and it was documented
in Time Magazine.

Much of the early research on honey
bee behavior was done by the late Dr.
Karl von Frisch who won the Nobel
Prize in 1974 for his work. What von
Frisch found was that the honey bee
was able to communicate the location
of food sources to hive mates by doing
highly sophisticated dances. In the
1970s, von Frisch's work came under
attack by those who claimed that food
source locations were communicated
solely by odors. The mechanical bee
research now seems to lend support to
von Frischs' original work. Additional
information can be obtained by calling
the college at (215) 345 1500.

DVC-1 - PRESIDENT
RORER'S HOT LINE

. . Your message concerning the
"revised" Visitation Policy is noted.
Often, the best laid plans surface
with some minor shortfalls. Now that
we have received additional con
structive revisions and suggestions
(thanks faculty and some concerned
students) we'll get a policy which will
not only be workable and easy to
execute, but one which will enhance
campus security and safety.

. . Sorry, for only two working shower
heads in Goldman 2nd on the day
which you called. The problem was
rapidly repaired. O.K.?

. . A Long student line for dinner on
Sunday is not in our program! We
will shoot for two service lines and
faster food service on Sunday even-
ings. Should we not comply to your
satisfaction, please call DVC-1 again.
Thanks!

. . The many calls concerning unhappi-
ness about parking (and tickets) at
the entrance of your dorms are noted
and taken with concern. Our jDtjlicy
is: When the semester/ s commence
or end you can take your vehicle to
the dorm (blinker lights on) and load/-
unload with zero problem of getting a
ticket. Other times? Please under-
stand we have safety, fire and turfing
problems to consider as well (O.K.)
thus should you need to load or
unload your vehicle merely stop in to
Security and share your plans in
advance. I/we guarantee you sup-
port and full cooperation.

. . A bad smell on campus? A quick
check indicated a bit of manure was
necessarily spread on some DVC
(close by) agricultural land. Your
understanding is appreciated in
advance.

. . The employee who drove around the
barricade says it will not happen
again. Thanks for the alert!

. . Nothing is done when a person calls
DVC- 1 . Sorry, but you are not tuned
into the correct frequency. Call again,
please.

. . A fuel oil spill which took place. Yes,
the spill was really minor, but (Sue)
thanks for the call. We followed it up
immediately.

. . The call addressing pizza at lunch
was "fuzzy'?? Sorry, but what is the
complaint? A return call would be
deeply appreciated.

. . A Housekeeping employee asleep in
your dorm? This is an unsatisfactory
situation — we thank you for the
DVC-1 call and corrective action
has been taken.

cation workshops that inspire children
to use their imaginations. Interns are

Air Force Band Appears at DelVal

By Fay Lobaugh

The United States Air Force Band of
the East presented a free concert, Friday
evening, February 2, in the Student
Center at Delaware Valley College.

The audience was entertained with
selections from John Philip Sousa,
Gordon Jacob, Paul Creston, and
Gustav Hoist. In addition to the previous
selections, the audience was treated to
soloist Lee Williamson-Smith on the
euphonium and vocalist Timothy Black.
The vocal performance featured num-
bers such as "I've Got You Under My
Skin," "Wind Beneath My Wings," and
"God Blass the USA."

The Ambassador's Stage Band
brought the crowd to life with selections
such as Glenn Miller's, "In the Mood."
The most amusing part of the evening
occurred when the audience was asked

to identify the theme songs of old
television shows as the band performed
the medley "A Rhapsody of Reruns."
The concert ended with a rousing
patriotic finale.

The Air Force Band of the East from
McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey
is made up of 38 members from across
the United States. Under Comman-
der/Conductor Robert A. Pouliot, the
band performs and tours throughout
New Jersey, New York, Delaware,
Pennsylvania, Canada, and the Azores.

The band appeared through the

Logeais, Commander, 21st Air Force
Military Airlift Command, McGuire Air
Force Base, NJ, and the Delaware

EUROPEAN STUDY, TRAVEL OFFERED IN
SUSQUEHANNA AT OXFORD PROGRAM

Susquehanna University will once
again be offering students the oppor-
tunity to gain an international flavor to
their education this summer with its
1990 Susquehanna at Oxford program.

The Oxford Summer Session, July 2
through August 4, composes the
majority of the program and gives
students a chance to take credit courses
taught by British professors while living
at Oxford's Corpus Christi College.

Students interested in business and
economics courses normally enroll in
courses on British management and
economic history. Students interested
in liberal arts, meanwhile, enroll in two
courses ranging from British literature,
to politics, to history and culture.

Participants are encouraged to join
the summer-session group early for a
three-week Pre-Oxford excursion, June
13 through July 1, throughout England
with extended stops planned in Lon-
don, Stratford, Edinburgh, and York.

They may continue their European
travel following completion of their
Oxford course work with a Post-Oxford
excursion, this 6day tour, August 5
through 11, will involve a detailed
excursion to Paris, France under the
guidance of the Susquehanna faculty
leader.

An alternate six-day excursion,
August 7 through 13, to Paris is also
available.

Another Susquehanna at Oxford
program is a course on British Theatre
in London, May 28 through June 26.
Students will attend 16 plays, take
backstage tours of current productions
and attend seminars on the history of
British theatre and its current issues.

Costs for the Susquehanna at Oxford
programs are $1,275 for the British
Theatre course; $3,250 for the Oxford
Summer Session; $950 for the Pre

At mid-season, DelVal's Men's bas-
ketball team, 5-10, has suffered eight
personnel losses but is still capable of
beating any team in the Middle Atlantic
Conference.

Head coach. Bill Werkiser, said
"despite the player losses, the team has
done well and can't be taken lightly by
other teams in the MAC." This is evi-
dent by the recent wins over Muhlen-
berg, the very confident Susquehanna,
and an overtime loss to a first place
Allentown team.

Werkiser also said that "this year's
team has the best chemistry and

camaraderie he has seen in a team."
This is one reason why the team remains
competitive in the MAC. Another is the
team's ever-hustling defense which is
led by captain, Marc Reason. The
offense is led by high-flying Charles
Deshield, 15.6 points per game, and 3
point bomber Mike Knouse, 14.8 ppg.
The remainder of the scoring is evenly
spread out among the rest of the team.

The Aggies have a tough schedule for
the remainder of the season but if they
continue to play hard as a team they will
definitely add to their number of wins.

New Majors at DelVal

By: Robert Livingston

Delaware Valley College may soon
have several new majors including
mathematics, secondary education and
criminal justice administration, ac-
cording to Dr. John Mertz, Vice
President.

The proposed majors are at various
levels of approval and development, the
mathematics major is awaiting endor
sement by the Department of Educa-
tion. The education major is awaiting
review by the school's curriculum

committee, as is the program in crim
inal justice administration.

Mertz states that there are several
steps of approval for new educational
programs. First, a faculty member has
to back and support a program. Tne
second step is a study by the faculty
committee. Then the program needs to
be reviewed by Dr. Mertz and Dr. Craig
Hill. The final step is a presentation to
the Education Committee of the Board
of Trustees.

The right choice.

ENGLISH MAJOR
AT DEL VAL?

by Shelle]/ Brown

In the fall of last year, Delaware Val-
ley College introduced an English Major
to its expanding Liberal Arts curriculum.

Adding the English Major opens up
new horizons for the students and for
the school, says Dr. Heath. The college
is hoping this major will get the atten-
tion of prospective students who may
be interested in DelVal.

Dr. Alice Heath, head of the new Eng-
lish Department is very excited about
the program. She explains that right
now there is not an overwhelming
amount of people in this major, but that
is because it is new. However, it is a
"foot in the door." Dr. Heath says that
majoring in English gives students a
yast amount of career opportunities
such as; journalism, radio/tv, teaching,
and law. "This course helps people to
get a better understanding of our lan-
guage and helps to deal with people in
certain situations. It also provides the
students with a 24-week work program
and if they desire, the ability to continue
on to graduate school," she explaitied.

According to Dr. Heath, "this is a
positive step for Delaware Valley Col-
lege, because it is not just an agricultu-
ral school anymore. It is an up and com-
ing school that will offer many different
studies. This English Major will eventu-
ally be a very strong program."

EARTH WEEK 90

INTERNSHIPS

AVAILABLE

Several local businesses and non-
profit organisations are presently offer-
ing a series of spring semester Earth
Week 90 internships for interested stu
dents. The specific requirements will
vary according to the internship spon-
sor, but all will be monitored under the
auspices of the Delaware Valley Earth
Week 90 Coalition and afford partici-
pating interns a unique series of bene-
fits stemming from their involvement.

The Delaware Valley Earth Week
coalition was formed to organize activi-
ties that will celebrate the 20th anniver-
sary of Earth Day. The first Earth Day
began a worldwide awareness of envi-
ronmental issues and helped bring about
organizations and legislation that have
addressed some of today's mofit press-
ing problems: global warming, recycling,
acid rain, toxic waste, pollution, and
vanishing open spaces. Organizations
that have agreed to set up internships
for the spring semester include the
Clean Air Council, Sierra Club,
Academy of Natural Sciences, Pennsyl-
vania Environmental Council and the
Brandywine Valley Association. In
addition to the specific projects assigned
by each sponsor, the Delaware Valley
Coalition requires that all Earth Week
interns also participate in a minimum of
three group meetings and submit a writ-
ten report of their internship. The indi-
vidual reports will then be bound and
distributed to all Earth Week Internship
participants.

For more information on how to
apply for these unusual and valuable
internship opportunities, please contact
Judy Amand, Director of Education
and Research at (215) 565-9131. ■

libraries relfects the needs and desires
of our communities," Mrs. Casey said.

COLLEGE TO

HOST ABORTION

DEBATE

The Student Activities Committee at
Delaware Valley College will sponsor
"The Great Abortion debate" on
Thursday, March 1 at 7:30 p.m. in the
AllPurpose Room of the Student
Center.

The debate will feature Bill Baird,
who has been called the "father of the
abortion movement" and John Short, a
pro-life advcXiate. A question and answer
session with the audience will follow the
formal debate.

Admission to the debate is $5. Tickets
may be purchased in advance through
the Dean of Students Office.

Representing the pro-choice per-
spective will be Baird, named the "father
of the abortion movement" by the
Associated press. Since 1963, Baird has
challenged restrictive birth control and
abortion laws around the nation.

His efforts have awarded him with
Oictories in three landmark Supreme
Court cases, including Baird v. Eisen-
stadt which legalized birth control
nationally for single people in 1972.

Baird's style and controversial nature
have led him to be compared with Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., Ghandi and
Thoreau by some and the Devil by oth-
ers. Baird is founder and director of
three non-profit birth control and abor-
tion information centers and has dedi-
cated his life to the ongoing struggle for
reproductive freedom.

Representing the anti-abortion view
will be Short, founder of the pro-life
birth defects research foundation called
The Michael Fund. Short first came to
public attention in 1972 (before Roe v.
Wade) when he was dismissed as the
Accounting Executive of the Nassau
County Social Services Department
after refusing on moral grounds to pro-
see ABORTION DEBATE on page 2

Advisors Joe Ferry,

Mr. Edward O'Brien,
Dr. Richard Ziemer

It's Friday night, classes are over,
you're with your friends and need
something to do. You don't want to
watch television, and you don't have
enough money to go out . Maybe there's
something fun to do on campus? Well,
don't hold your breath!

This is a typical senario of a weekend
at DelVal; it's sad but true. There is not
much for students here to do. There
may be a dance or a sporting event,
great! But what about those who don't
like to dance , or those who do not enjoy
sporting events? So in turn, when every-
one gets tired of just sitting there waist-
ing the weekend away, they decide
to create their own fun. Off goes "the
tube" and on goes the stereo. Maybe
they get a little loud but considering the
fact that a lot of the students go home,
who are we disturbing? Not security.
They are too busy checking every car
that pulls in for student l.D. cards! But
unfortunately security does end up tell-
ing everyone politely or not so politely
to get back in their rooms and keep it
down. So bordem sets in (again) and
also frustration.

What is the problem? When the
school cannot provide activities for us
to do, why can't the students have their
own fun? Not everyone gets drunk and
obnoxious!

Something should really be done.
The students, rather the parents of the
students, pay a pretty penny to attend
this school. The students do their jobs
during the week, and things are very
calm and quiet, so when the weekend
rolls around why can't we get a little
wild? The school feels that the students
won't participate in those few activities
the school offers. This may be true, but
maybe if DelVal would find out just
exactly what activities the students are
interested in, there would be more par-
ticipation. An easy way to find out what
the students would like to do is just
simply pass out questionnaires or sur-
veys. Get it from the horses mouth!

This is a problem that has gone on
too long and should be dealt with. Del-
Val is the students home away from
home. It is also college, not a prison
camp!

. . Recently several of our students were
playing basketball under the lights
and behind Security. Sorry that the
lights were suddenly turned off on
our students ■ that was an error. You
may play basketball anytime you
desire on those courts.

. . No hot water at Cooke? Sorry the
heater circuit breaker tripped off the
line. Your prompt call allowed us to
respond in a timely manner. Thanks!

. . Brad, sorry the officer closed the
gym on you and your friends at 10:00
P.M. If you'd like it open until 11:00
P.M. fine, just let us know.

. . Yes, two serving lines are now open
during the Sunday evening meal.
Your return call to say "thanks" was
appreciated by Mrs. Judy Weideman
and her dining hall staff.

. . Your disappointment in the Febiu
ary 15 issue of RAM PAGES is noted
and understood. Yes, I/we can see
where you are more interested in
reading about life here on the DVC
campus rather than a Temple Uni-
versity tour!

. . The exterminators were called as
soon as we knew you had found a
mouse on Goldman 2nd. The mouse
was promptly destroyed. Keep in
mind, open food attracts mice!

. . Yes, when we periodically check the
guests arriving on campus it does
take one Security person away from
patrol. Our goal is to make the DVC
campus as safe as possible - so
please keep your room doors
locked so as to prevent theft!

. . The hot dog call was appreciated.
Who wouldn't like a 12-inch hot dog?
Yes, they taste good!

Abortion Debate.

cess Medicaid claims for elective abor-
tions at Nassau County medical Center.

In the fall of 1988, Baird drew national
exposure in his bid to stop a Long Island
man, Martin Klein, from permitting his
comatose wife to have an abortion.
Short's case went all the way up to the
United States Supreme Court before
Klein was granted guardianship of his
wife, thus allowing him to request an
abortion.

Doors to the All Purpose Room will
open at 6:30 p.m. The debate is expected
to last two hours.

DelVal Baseball Begins

By Bob Altieri

On Monday, January 29th the DclVal
baseball team started its winter wor-
kouts in the gym. Coach Frank Wolf-
gang got his players together at a meet-
ing and explained what he wanted from
his team. Wolfgang wants his players to
work hard and give it their best. "The
first couple of weeks of practice will be
basically conditioning and throwing. You
can't do much in the cold." Wolfgang
said.

Wolfgang has his players out a month
earlier this year because he feels that
this can be the year for the Aggies.
Although the Aggies had a tough sea-
son a year ago, Wolfgang says he likes
what he sees. The only key factor that
could affect the baseball team is the loss
of three seniors. "This team is real
young we only have three seniors this
year. The majority of the team are jun-
iors and sophomores." Wolfgang said.
Wolfgang gave the players names whom
he thinks will help contribute to the
Aggies this year. Sean Kelly, "a four
year letterman and starter at third base,"
sophomore Bob Altieri, "the teams

MVP, and second team all league
shortstop," Dan Law "A three year
starter at first base," John Maresca, at
second base, Bill Turner, outfielder,
Bullet Lopes infielder, and sophomores
Brian Schlegal, outfielder, and pitcher,
Eric Stammbaugh.

"These men have worked hard for
two long years now, and we expect
some big things to happen this year."
Wolfgang said. The team wants to win
the MAC Conference Championship.
The Aggies haven't won the champion
ship in five years, but look to return to
the top this coming season. "If eve-
ryone plays up to their ability and the
freshman and transfers come in and do
the job, the Aggies will reign at the top
once more." Wolfgang smiles confi-
dently.

The main key to baseball is pitching.
Wolfgang is looking for a lot of help on
the mound. He said, "to win the MAC's
you need good pitching." That is the
only question mark in the Aggies lineup
this season. Wolfgang wants the fans to
know that the DelVal baseball team is
back and is out for vengeance.

Possible Renovations
in the Near Future?

By Stephanie Mason

Wouldn't you like to have a building
that contains a swimming pool, MAC
machine, bar, clubs, and big stores to
do your shopping? It seems as though,
what we refer to as our student center,
is not a real student center. Having all
those luxuries would make the student
center more pleasurable and useful.

Many students complain about not
having anything to do. Wouldn't it be
nice to have some place to kick back,
and relax and play a couple of games of
pool after a long night of doing home-
work? The student center is nice, but is
it really a place for students to unwind?

Most students choose schools that
have great academics as well as great
facilities. DelVal has great academics,
but are the facilities adequate? Many
students who were interviewed stated
that, "we need more added onto the
student center." There is definitely major
improvement needed in the student
center. For the amount of money it
took to build the center, there should
be more facilities there for the stucfents.
Maybe DelVal should consider renovat-
ing its student center in the future to
accomodate the needs and wants of its
students.

DELVAL TIGHTENS CAMPUS SECURITY

By Erin E. Troutman

Students at Delaware Valley College
should feel much safer beginning this
semester because of a new security pol-
icy put into effect by school admin-
istration.

The new policy which is in effect
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights
from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. is as follows:

• All persons who wish to visit others
on the campus must stop at the
Security Office and identify them-
selves.

• Upon presenting and leaving a driv
er's license and registering in the vis-
itor's log, they will be issued a num-
bered visitor's pass.

• The student will be notified by phone
and is required to go to Security to
sign in his guest, if the student can-
not be located, the visitor will not be
permitted entry to the campus.

• If the student knows that a visitor is
expected, he may pre-register that
visitor and save a trip to security

when the guest arrives.

Parents or legal guardians of stu
dents will be the only visitors permitted
entry when a student cannot imme-
diately be located.

A Preferred Visitor List may be estab-
lished by a student wishing to pre
register up to two guests for an entire
semester.

Students and guests are subject to all
rules and regulations as stated in the
Delaware Valley College student hand-
book.

According to Dean Craver and Karl
Filacheck, Director of Security, in a let-
ter sent to parents and students, "The
intent of this policy is not to inhibit a
student's freedom to socialize, but rather
to prevent unauthorized and, unwel-
come visitors to our campus."

Any questions concerning the new
policy may be answered by contacting
Delaware Valley College Security at
345-1500.

DelVal Gets New Numbers

By Jack Dawes

Delaware Valley College started the
spring semester with the introc^uction
of a new student number system that
will reduce confusion in admissions and
inner-office correspondence.

The new system will use a student's
social security number in place of the
old five digit number that was assigned
to a student upon admission to the col
lege. Using social security numbers
instead of an assigned student number
eliminates the chances of two students
having the same number. An individu-
al's social security number is unique. All
offices will be using the new system to
reduce confusion when information on
a student is transferred between offices
and other colleges.

The administration has high expecta-
tions about the new system. Although
the initial crossover will be time con-
suming and difficult, the end result will
be beneficial and less difficult for those
involved.

IRAN-IRAQ WAR

SLIDE SHOW AT

DEL VAL

By Laurent P. Lanee

Among the next cultural enrichment
events coming up soon at Delaware
Valley College is a slide show on the
Iran-Iraq war which will be presented by
one of the students and a native of Iran,
Amin Ahmadzadeh.

Ahmadzadeh felt it important to show
his fellow friends, here at DelVal, what
he saw in his country during the seven
years of this terrible war, between 1981
and 1988. According to him, it is difficult
to get most of the American students
from small colleges interested in the
events happening thousands miles away
in another country, "because they don't
feel concerned about it." Ahmadzadeh
strongly believes that this reaction is
wrong because "even if the United-
States is a big nation and a super-
power, its citizens and especially its
younger generation should sometimes
be more open minded to the interna-
tional world."

Also, arcording to Ahmadzadeh, "In
the long run, Americans will notice that
such a war has some consequ* nces on
the United States."

Thousands of people have been killed
in this war, including many friends of
Ahmadzadeh himself; many cities and
villages have been destroyed. The war
had also some repercussions on the
world economy, especially in the oil
market. The second largest oil refinery
in the world "Abadan" South-West of
Iran, near the Persian Gulf, has been
completely crossed off the map.

Another point is that diplomatic rela-
tions have been cut between Iran and
several western countries. One of the
results of the break in diplomatic rela-
tionships is that Iranians now have a
bad image in the world.

Why did this war take place? It seems
that the main reason is a problem of the
frontier between the two countries. But
also it is because of different tensions
between the two governments. When
asked, if this war really had to take
place, Ahmadzadeh answered that
"Diplomacy and communication could
have avoided thousands of deaths."

By luck and coincidence, Ahmad-
zadeh did not directly take part in the
war. When he was going to be sent to
fight, he was finishing his military ser-
vice, therefore, the chief-officer did not
send him to the front line.

Ahmadzadeh chose slides with
"Kitaro" music from his own country to
show and explain what war and life
were like in Iran between September
1981 and 1988. According to Ahmad-
zadeh "slides are sometimes more
powerful than a movie or a speech!"

BUTTERFLIES FEATURED
IN DVC'S PHILADELPHIA
FLOWER SHOW EXHIBIT

"Flight of Fancy — An Invitation to
Butterflies" is the title Delaware Valley
College's exhibit at the Philadelphia
Flower Show scheduled for the Civic
Center March 11 through 18.

"The 1990 entry is a particularly
ambitious one," said David Bortz, a
junior Ornamental Horticulture major
from Lansdale, Pennsylvania. "Not only
must thousands of plants and flowers,
be forced but live butterflies must also
be raised."

Bortz, one of approximately 40 DelVal
students invovled in working on the
project, hopes the college's ideascape
crammed with information about native
butterfly species will demonstrate that a
thoughtfully crafted garden need not be
an insolating environment but one
shared by many creatures such as
beautiful and fragile butterflies.

The butterflies will be part of a must
unique garden party, according to Dr.
John Martin, Chairman of the College's
Oranmental Horticulture Department
and supervisor of the Flower Show
exhibit. They will delight in sampling the
hundreds of plants on the menu
specifically chosen to please butterflies

of all ages, from larvae to adults, said
Martin.

"There will even be an open bar,"
said the professor, "a waterfilled rock in
a shallow pool."

Human guests will stroll the winding
path through the exhibit, which will
replicate a seculded garden designed to
attract and nurture butterflies. The
masses of colorful garden flowers will
be matched only by the kaleidoscope of
assorted butterflies. An actual butterfly
life cycle will also be presented, giving
some lucky observers a chance to see a
butterfly as it emerges from its chrysalis.

Over 500 square feet of greenhouse
space at DelVal has been devoted to
forcing plant material for the exhibit,
according to Martin. "Special care must
be taken in raising plants organically
because butterflies are very sensititve
to pesticides." said Martin.

Delaware Valley College students
have been displaying their talents at the
Philaelphia Flower Show, the largest
indoor show in .the world, since 1950.
The theme of this year's show is "Purely
for Pleasure — Gardens for the Senses."

1989 Men's and Women's Cross Country

On 9 February 1990, the DVC cross
country teams concluded their seasons
with their Annual Awards Banquet at
the Widow Brown's Restaurant. In
addition to athletes and coaches, many
friends, staff, and alumni were in
attendance.

The DVC Men's 1989 Cross Country
Team markedly improved their per-
formance, but they still came up short
of a winning season. Their overall record
was 3 and 7, losing three of those meets
by close scores. A number of promising
freshmen were not able to complete the

season for a variety of reasons, but
Gustavo Rosen and Dave Klosinski
contributed to the scoring, with Dave
finishing number three scorer and win-
ning his varsity letter. The number two
and four scores were sophomores Ian
Phelps and Frank Filor. Due to his
"quantum" improvement over his fresh-
man year, Ian was presented the Coachs'
Trophy. Receiving their senior awards
were co-captain Mark Brinski and Phil
Sperry. Leading scorer for the Aggies

GRADUATE
SCHOOL??

B]^ Dr. Robert Berthold, Jr.

During one of our Annual Career
Days, I had the opportunity of spending
quite a bit of time with Dr. Roger
Locandro, a Cook College (Agricultu-
ral branch of Rutgers University) dean.
During this time, we spoke with a
number of our students. 1 was suprised
to find how many of them had no idea as
to how to finance a graduate education.

In the case of Liberal Arts mwors
-including those majoring in business
and related fields - most students have
to finance their own graduate edua-
tions. It is true, however, that many
business graduates receive financial
assistance from employers to help
finance their graduate educations.

Financing a graduate education is
frequently a different matter for those
students majoring in Agriculture and in
many of the sciences. Many graduate
school departments offer research
assistantships and/or teaching assist-
antships to academically qualified stu-
dents, with often a "B" average being
enough to qualify. Presently, graduate
assistance is averaging about $10,000.00
per year plus tuition being waived. All
assistance is often tax exempt.

Many of the students who Dr.
Locandro and I initially spoke with, said
that they couldn't afford to go on to
graduate school after the high costs
involved with their undergraduate edu-
cation. However, opportunities for
financing graduate education do exist.
If you are interested and you have the
academic credential, you really should
consider graduate school.

If you think that you might be inter-
ested in pursuing a graduate degree
program, talk it over with your advisor,
or if you like, make an appointment and
come and discuss it with me. (Mandell
203, Extension 2285 or 2284).

Dear Editors

An article in the February 22 edition
caught my attention, and I would like to
offer a few comments about it. The arti-
cle, New Majors at DelVal, des

cribes the possibility of "...several new
majors including mathematics, secon-
dary education, and criminal justice
administration..." being added to the
college, Delaware Valley College has
always been known for its excellent
programs in science and agriculture.
For the present, let us concentrate on
modernizing the science and agricul-
ture labs, and making these programs
even better. These changes can only
strengthen DelVal's appel to prospec-
tive science and agriculture majors.

With the financial troubles the col-
lege is in, and with the declining enrol-
lment, it is a bad time to venture into

new areas. The enrollment will not
increase just because a few liberal arts
majors have been added. In this period
of uncertainty of where the college is
going, it is best if the college streng
thens the areas of which it is known for.
When DelVal's financial base is built up,
and the proper resources are available,
attention can and should be paid to
creating an expanded liberal arts
department that can be as well known
as the college's- best programs.

There will come a time, and hopefully
it will be soon, that DelVal will again
prosper and be able to expand into new
areas. But until that time arrives, the
college needs to continue to strengthen
its position where it is known to be the
best.

Dear

Delaware Valley College's Employ
ment Program requirement for gradua-
tion is a priceless experience for the
student. The benefits are many, and it
can be an integral part of a student's
future.

The Employment Program requires
all degree candidates to spend 24 weeks
during their undergraduate years in
approved jobs in their major field. The
program also involves student reports
and a faculty visitation.

Program benefits include priceless
experience, job connections, knowledge
related to their major, four credits, and
a chance to earn a few bucks. The most
important of these is the experience the
undergraduate receives. In today's job
market, employers are in search of a
person with experience, and because
DelVal graduates have experience, as a
result of the Employment Program,
most have jobs before they graduate,
many students, after graduation, are
given full-time positions with the com-
pany they havfe previously worked. Also,
students are often offered jobs even
before graduation is near.

The Employment Program require
ment at DelVal is a strong compliment
to a college education and is the reason
why Delaware Valley College has the
edge over its competition.

the Suburban Cable TV Company.
Dean Craver is checking this out and
will let the students know soon. (The
picture is not too bright for this

■ semester, I'm told.)

. . Slowness to clean showers is not our
housekeeping style these days. Mr.
Moen will be keeping a close eye on
the showers, especially in Wolfsohn.

. . Sorry we were slow at getting suffi-
cient heat to Berkowitz in a timely
manner on Monday, February 26th,
but the rapid temperature drop (some
40 degrees) was excessive! We'll try
harder next time.

. . Your kind call about enjoying the
friendly and professional style in the
case of Ms. Sally Gordon was
thoughtful. Thanks!

for the second year in a row was junior
cocaptian Art Rudeiger. For his per-
formance and leadership, the team voted
him the Most Valuable Trophy for the
second year in a row. Art was also
elected by the team to be Captain for
the 1990 season.

The women's team continued its win
ing ways ending the season with a 7 and
3 record and a respectable 14th. place
in the MAC Championships. Freshmen
Beth Hoffer and Christie Holeman both
scored in every dual meet that they ran
and won their varsity letters. Sophomore
Sandy Slanker repeated as letter winner
and was second high scorer for the
ladies. Junior Judy Peltz finished third
in the scoring column, and for her per-
formance and leadership she was voted

the Most Valuable Harrier Trophy and
also as Captain of the 1990 team. Seniors
and Co-captains Dec Sith and Joan Kin-
ley finished out their collegiate careers
in style with Dee receiving the Coaches'
Award and Joan the High Scorer's
Trophy.

Although both teams will be losing
some key runners, they are looking
forward to the 1990 season. Both teams
hope to recruit some current runners
who did not compete this year plus
some incoming freshman. Due to the
design of the cross country programs,
Coach Berthold welcomes all interested
students even those with little or no
previous running experience. If you
think that you might be interested in
giving running a try in the fall, send Dr.
Berthold a note stating your interest.

CATCH 22 WITH THE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS AT DVC

By laurent P. Lance

Students here at Delaware Valley
College are aware that 24 weeks of
employment haye to be completed in
order to fulfill the requirements for a
Bachelor Degree.

Each major requires that students
complete this program within their col-
lege education at DelVal in a field
related to their major. In other words,
all Delaware Valley College students,
without any restriction on sex, age,
race, ethnic origin, creed, color, religion
or citizenship, have to complete their
employment program before graduation.

However, a problem seems to appear
when this requirement concerns for-
eign students who are on a student visa
status, which virtually means, "Not
allowed to work!"

This is especially true for the first
year under a student visa status. Indeed,
no employment is permitted, at all, out-
side the campus during this first year.
However work is permitted on campus,
up to 20 hours a week, sometimes more
if the college allows it, and as long as the
job does not take away the opportuni-
ties of American citizens!

By chance, there are a few clauses in
the student status which can permit a
foreign student to work off-campus,
after his first year of study. These
exceptions include sudden important
financial problems that would not allow
the student to finish his degree in the
time allowed by his visa, and a require-
ment from the institution to complete a

practical training period in a field
related to the major prior to gradua
tion...etc. Under these circumstances
the student can be authorized to work
off-campus for a limited time. To be
granted the work authorization from
the immigration and Naturalization
service, the job has to be related to the
student's major. Again, it should not
exceed 20 hours per week.

One would probably think this is a lot
of administrative formalities indeed, but
it can be accomplished!

Chances are that since a foreign stu
dent is not legally permitted to work
off-campus during the first year of his
student visa status, that priority is given
to U.S. citizens to work on campus.
The foreign student can only apply for
work authorization after being in the
United States for at least a year on a
student visa. This authorization can
take from one to six months, some
times even more, to be processed. In
some cases, if the student follows the
immigration regulations, he/she might
not, legally, be permitted to accept
employment, off-campus, before the
junior year.

In other words the student would
have to fulfill the 24 weeks employment
requirement within two years when it is
supposed to be completed within four
years! Do you think this is fair?

Since the international advisor or
financial aid office knows, or at least
should know, about these problems, do
you think it is fair to keep giving priority

to U.S. citizens for on-campus em-
ployment when a student cannot ^ad
uate from DelVal without having com-
pleted the 24 weeks employment
requirement?

The regulation about the priority ga en
to U.S. citizens apply usually when the
work experience is not a requirement
to graduate, but in the case of Delaware
Valley College, isn't the situation
different?

Why do you think most of the col
leges and universities in the United
States do not require such a program to
graduate with a Bachelor Degree?

The reason is probably the fact that
foreign students have difficulty following
all the procedures for an employment
authorization, and do not have the
same employment opportunity as
American students. This is also the
reason why such a program, usually
called a cooperative program, is optional
and not required to get a Bachelor
Degree in most institutions.

Don't you think Delaware Valley Col-
lege should start to think about making
some changes in its employment pro
gram or at least re design it for its inter-
national students?

DelVal is now trying to expand and
change its image, and is also trying to
get more international students. This
would be probably one of the many
steps Delaware Valley College should
make in order to attract new foreign
students!

FIRST EVER ROMAN CATHOLIC
MASS ON DVC CAMPUS

On Sunday February 25 at 7 p.m., the
Delaware Valley College Newman Club
sponsored the first Roman Catholic
Mass on the DVC campus. Reverend
James W. Devlin, St. Judes in Chalfont,
was the presider accompanied by pianist
Sharon Loeffler, lector Matthew
Michonski and usher Brad Bittrier. A
larger than-expected number of people
attended the first Mass in the small
chapel. All were treated to an excellent
sermon and words of praise and en-
couragement by Reverend Father
Devlin. There was an ambience in the
air only those attending could feel. The

Newman Club hopes to continue
sponsoring on campus Mass - hopefully
on a regular basis.

The Delaware Valley College Newman
Club is a Catholic based organization
inspired by John Henry Cardinal
Newman (1801-1890) of London,
England. The purpose of the Newman
Club is to foster a deeper faith in Jesus
Christ, to inculcate an interest in Roman
Catholic beliefs, lifestyle and events, to
nourish fellowship amongst its members
and the whole of the campus community
at Delaware Valley College.

BEEKEEPING SHORT
COURSES OFFERED
AT DVC

Delaware Valley College will again be
offering it's popular three day short
courses on beekeeping. The courses
are designed for beekeepers, for those
considering taking up beekeeping, and
for those interested in learning nfK>re
about the honey bee. Beekeeping is a
very interesting hobby, and in addition
to providing the beekeeper with honey,
it also provides valuable polHnati<-)n of
garden and wild plants. Honey bees can
be kept just about anywhere, m fact
there are a number of people keeping
bees right in the City of Philadelphia.
Over the years, the course has been
attended by people from all over the
United States, from a number of foreign
countries, as well as by local people.

The course will include most pertinent
aspects of beekeeping including equip-
ment, apiary location, seasonal manage-
ment, honey production, beeswax
candle making, and home uses of honey.
Illustrated class room instruction will be
coupled with hands on experience
utilizing the College's Bee Yard and its
Honey House. The course is under the
direction of Dr. Bob Berthold, the
College's beekeeping specialist, and he
will be assisted by Mr. Jack Matthenius,
the N.J. Dept. of Agriculture Supervisor
of Bee Culture, Retired.

The spring course will be held on
three Saturdays, March 31, April 7 and
21, 1990. The summer course this year
will be an advanced course, and it will
be held on Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday, June 22, 23, and 24, 1990.
Classes will start at 8:30 A.M. and end
by 4:00 P.M.

There is a nominal cost for the courses
With a discount for DVC students.
Further information and applications
can be obtained from Dr. Berthold,
Mrs. Noonan, Mandell Hall, and Mrs.
Martin, Lasker Hall.

Mr. Edward O'Brien,
Dr. Richard Ziemer

There's nothing to do around here! If
I've heard that once I've heard it a
thousand times. While I do feel there is
much that can be done to improve
student life, I am growing less
sympathetic. The Sophomore Class, to
which I am advisor, has repeatedly held
activities in an attempt to give you
something to do. Picnics, Monday Night
Football Specials and most recently a
trip to Philadelphia to watch the 76ers
play the Knicks. A game for first place in
the East and undoubtedly one of the
best games of the season. We had even
chartered a bus so all you had to do is
walk to the gym and you were on your
way. The cost of all this was only $10.00.
The tickets alone were $12.00. The
class had advertised, gone around to
the dorms to personally try to sell
tickets, opened sales to all DVC students
and yet, on game day, we still had 20
unsold tickets. Nine hundred plus
students and we can't get 50 to go to a
ballgame. Unbelievable!!!! It makes me
wonder if we are going to get anybody
to go to our Dinner Dance on March
30th. We are also planning a bus to
Great Adventure and White Water
Rafting when the weather warms up,
but given the response to our other
attempts to give you something to do,
we will probably scrap them. I refuse to
let the same small group of hard working

officers expend all that time and energy
for essentially nothing.

It's not that there is nothing to do
around here, it's that YOU DON'T DO
ANYTHING. We would probably have
trouble running a free trip to Disney
World over Spring Break (and many of
you would probably say that there is
nothing to do there). Well, WE GIVE
UP. What do you want to do? We are
going to continue to collect dues, but
until you come up with some ideas for
activities that you will support, the
money will sit and earn interest. If it
doesn't get spent before graduation, we
will donate it to some worthy cause.

Activities don't just happen (Louis
Pasteur debunked the idea of
spontaneous generation a long time
ago) they require effort and planning.
The ball is now in your court. YOU put
forth the effort and planning and come
to us with your ideas and we'll try to
fund them. You want a Senior Trip?
You had better get moving because I
can tell you from experience (this is the
fourth class I have advised) they require
a lot of work and you had better start
early. College life is what you make it
and you guys just ain't making it.

Sincerely frustrated,

Ronald E. Johnson
Advisor, Class of "92

Dear

Will the new revised visitation policy
hinder or help? Will it control the flow of
unauthorized people entering DelVal's
campus? Hopefully, this will stop
undesirables from free access to the
campus. However, it could cause
problems where problems may not exist.

For example, is there enough security
personnel to enforce the rules and do
the paperwork? Have the procedures
been completely outlined and have the
students been informed? Also how many
people will try to get on campus without
being detected, because it is a challenge?

Having compared the new revised
policy with the guidelines written in the
1989-1990 Student Handbook there are
some contradictions. The Handbook
lists the maximum room visitation hours
for visitors of the opposite sex only. The
revised policy lists maximum room
visitation hours that apply to everyone.
The Student Handbook also states each
residence hall can participate in the
limited visitation hours program, which
provides the opportunity for members

of the opposite sex to visit in the
residence halls. Before a living unit can
participate in the limited visitation hours
program there is a standard procedure
that must be followed. This procedure
requires a proposal of the desired
program, posted for viewing prior to
voting by secret ballot, with 75% of the
residents voting for the program.

Many students, resident asistants,
and community coordinators are in
favor of the policy as a whole, but they
have reservations on a few points. They
feel there shouldn't be a time limit on
visitors, and that students shouldn't
have to go to security to verify visitors.
Students also pointed out that many
times the policy is not enforced until
there is an incident, and on occasion
the dorm doors are not locked at the
specified time.

Of course the policies are not perfect,
but they should at least be consistent
with the guidelines.

Sincerely,
Eleanor Price

.. Rob, thanks for the info on the
Goldman 2nd showers. Prompt
cleanup followed.

.. Thanks for the calls concerning the
lack of hot water in Berkowitz. In
both cases we followed up im-
mediately. If there is more specific
data, which you can pass, it would be
helpful — such as floor, shower
location, etc.

.. For the young female student who is
upset over the lack of 5 and 10 pound
weights in the lifting room, I share
your concern. Too many school-
owned weights find their way into
individual student rooms!

. . Tabor not clean! That's a first for this
school year! We sent a member from
our housekeeping staff right over as
soon as you passed on the in-
formation.

.. No, visitors do not have to
surrender their driver's license when
they register at DVC as a guest. The
March 1st article on DVC security
was not exactly up-to-date. Soon Mr.
Filachek will publish our current
(modified) visitation policy.

.. Eric and Paige, thanks for your
comments and suggestions con-
cerning the 90/91 Academic Calendar
of events. Once the student inputs
are all in, they will be passed on to
Dr. Hill.

. . Your nice words concerning the great
job the Grounds Crew is doing are
appreciated. "Well Done" to Tim
Varacallo and his support staff!

. . Yes, non-students caused us all sorts
of problems last weekend (3 and 4
March)! You do not have to put up
with such behavior — call Security at
2314 or 2315. If in doubt call, give
us many details as possible, i.e.
dorm/floor/ room etc. Your call is
appreciated, so often the feeling is
generated that anyone should be
able to be free to go anywhere on
campus at anytime!

.. Thanks Donna Miolszar for your
March 5th call.. As per discussion,
please contact Dean Graver and Mr.
Filachek and hopefully we can get
moving on your splendid ideas.

COLLEGE CLUB
WANTS TO BE
SPORT

by James Blair

This year, the Delaware Valley
Lacrosse Glub gained new hope in
forming the Delaware Valley Lacrosse
Team, where they will contend in the
Mid Atlantic Conference Division Three
League.

This year, for the first time, Delaware
Valley College Administration an-
nounced that they would do what they
could to help the club in forming the
Delaware Valley Lacrosse Team.
Members of the club feel that, by the
year 1992, the club will be a team.

In 1982 a group of students formed
the Delaware Valley Lacrosse Club, in
hopes of starting a new sport at the
college.

Lacrosse is a sport which seems to be
gaining much of the public's interest. It
is called the fastest sport on feet.

This years captain, Chris Falkler,
mentioned that the college was semi-
cooperative when he discussed getting
some necessary articles for the club.
Falkler also stated that he was very
excited for the upcoming season. He
said "We have 22 players this year and
15 are returning players. Judging from
our indoor league, we have plenty of
talent. Now we just have to organize it."

Chris has planned several fundraisers
for the club in order to make money to
pay for the officials. The Lacrosse Club
will be running a penny drive, where
they will be collecting pennies from
each dorm on campus.

The first game will be at home on
March 31, at 1:00 P.M. against Penn
State Delaware campus, the game will
be played on the soccer field. The club
asks for your support.

The Mechanical Honey Bee Security Lecture

On Thursday evening, March 29,
1990 beginning at 8:00 P.M. in the Music
Room on the second floor of the Student
Center of Delaware Valley College in
Doylestown, PA, Dr. William Towne
will be presenting a talk dealing with the
Mechanical Honey Bee. The meeting is
being sponsored by the College, the
College's Beekeeping Club, and the
Bucks County and Montgomery County
Beekeeping Associations.

Dr. William Towne is an Assistant
Professor of Biology, Kutztown
University, Kutztown, PA. His talk will
deal with the mechanical honey bee.
Dr. Towne recently collaborated with
some European honey bee researchers
to design and construct a computer
operated mechanical honey bee. With
their mechanical bee, the researchers
have been able to emulate normal honey
bee dances within the hive. Their

research was recently covered in a
feature article in the National Geo-
graphic. It was also the cover story in
Science News, and it was documented
in Time Magazine.

Much of the early research on honey
bee behavior was done by the late Dr.
Karl von Frisch who won the Nobel
Prize in 1974 for his work." What von
Frisch found was that the honey bee
was able to communicate the location
of food sources to hive mates by doing
highly sophisticated dances. In the
1970's, von Frische's work came under
attack by those who claimed that food
source locations were communicated
solely by odors. The mechanical bee
research now seems to lend support to
von Frischs' original work.

Available information can be obtained
by calling the college at (215) 345- 1500.

A DAY AT
PEDDLER'S VILLAGE

I

by Shelley Brown

Not too long from now Spring will be
here. The weather will be much more
pleasant and everyone will be itching to
be out of stuffy classrooms and enjoy
the day. Well if you hop into your car
and drive about 20 minutes down Rt.
202 towards New Hope, you will find a
perfect place to enjoy that particular
day. This place is called Peddler's Village.

Peddler's Village is a very popular
place in the Bucks County area. People
from all over come here to walk around
to enjoy the scenery and to do some
shopping. One way to describe the
village is a large, beautifully landscaped,
outside mall. It has a vast amount of
assorted stores to choose from. They
have more variety than you can imagine,
no one store is alike. They have every-
thing from a contemporary art shop
called the Artisian's Gallery, to BenOre
which sells things that your grandmother
probably collected. There is another
shop called the Paper Barn which is a
store that sells cards and much, much
more. The Robin's Nest, one of the
largest attractions, is an exotic bird
store.

If you get hungry, don't worry about
finding a place to eat because the
Village has over seven restaurants. If

you're just looking for a snack place to
eat with a good atmosphere, then the
place you want is Hat's or TheSpotted
Hog. In a hurry? Well then stop by
Animal Crackers, which is a classy
McDonalds! But if your cup of tea is a 3
or 4 course dinner then try the Cock-n-
Bull, or Jenny's. And lastly, if you want
a hearty soup and sandwich meal, the
place to be is the Cafe, or The Peddler's
Pub. For those of you that have a sweet
tooth, try Auntie Em's homemade ice
cream shop!!

Peddler's Village has a beautiful, well
polished look about it. It is filled with all
types of trees, shrubs, and an old
fashioned waterwheel that really works.
Each season they offer certain events
and competitions. In the fall they have
their annual scarecrow competition
where the shoppers get to vote for their
favorite scarecrow. In the winter, around
Christmas time, the village is beautifully
decorated with lights and this is also
when they have the Gingerbread House
contest. When Spring and Summer
finally roll around, you may go and
enjoy the Peach and Strawberry
Festivals. These are I very tasty events
to enjoy!

So when that sunny warm day comes
around, and you need to get away, head
down and spend a day at Peddler's
Village.

Mr. Filacheck gave a lecture to the
residents of Berkowitz dorm on 3-7-90.
He discussed self defense tactics as
well as some security measures. Some
suggestions to improve security are:

1. Use a card control access system to
dorms.

2. Change dorm visitation policies and
allow overnight visitors of the
opposite sex with the consent of the
roommate. This will lead to less door
propping.

3. Have a student monitor by the front
door.

4. Form a security committee in every
dorm. (Berk is in the process of
doing so).

5. Confront offenders of security rules.

Ask them to consider the safety of

others. If necessary, even impliment

fines.
If you have any suggestions, please

write them down and present it to

residence life and/or security. Mr.

Filacheck is looking into buying air

sirens and personal door alarms. If you

are interested in buying one or if you

would like him to lecture in your dorm,

please contact him at security (extension

2315).

We Can Make You
Laugh: Success

by Audra Cinalli

The Student's Activity Committee
presented "We Can Make You Laugh",
a two hour comedy show, Thursday
evening, February 22, in the Student
Center at Delaware Valley College. The
event drew over 120 students.

The first hour of the show involved
standup comedy by its three principal
performers: John Mallery, Cathy Sorbo
and Andre Keely. Each of the performers
had their own unique style and were
hilariously funny. The second hour of
the show got the audience involved by
challenging them to laugh. All con-
testants were judged by their ability to
keep a straight face. The judges were
Paige Barnett, Dr. Allan Nash and Art
Ruediger. Any contestant not able to
keep a straight face was given a "We
Can Make You Laugh" T-shirt. The
judges declared one winner, Todd
Herman, who received the grand prize
of $25.

It will be a long time before any
member of the audience will be able to
watch a rerun of "The Brady Bunch"
and not recall Cathy Sorbo's im-
personation of Shent Brady, the
unknown Brady boy, or recall John
Mallery 's procedure of escapirig from a
straight jacket. However, for those who
missed the act, you were kept from
three great performers.

Dear Editors

I am writing in reference to Stephanie
Mason's article "Possible Renovations
in the Near Future" (Ram pages 3/01/90
p. 3). Stephanie is on the right track
when she talks about lack of facilities
here at Delaware Valley College. We
just don't have adequate receational or
residential facilities for the student body
as a whole. Yes, we have a brand new
dairy and equine facilities that add
prestige and modernization to the
college, but they only serve a limited
number of students. Yes, we are intro-
ducing new majors and minors to attract
a broader base of students to this
campus. Yes, we are in financial difficulty
and may not be able to afford a new
dormitory and recreation center within
the new year or two. But how are we to
attract and hold these students in our
new majors (English now, Mathematics
and Criminal Justice soon) if we don't
have modern facilities that accom-
modate the WHOLE student body? I'm
talking about a modern recreation facility

Dear

Each year the Delaware Valley College
weight room loses more and more
weight lifting equipment to the football
team.

There are two weight rooms on
campus, one in the gym, and one in the
football stadium. The weight room in
the gym is for the entire campus to use,
whereas the weight room in the stadium
is for football players only.

Many students find it very unfair that
the football team is able to take a
majority of the equipment to their weight
room. In the past year, the neck machine
along with several other machines were
taken to the stadium so that the football
team could use them.

It seems that football takes priority
with the weights over the rest of the
school, but why?

Being as small as it is, it seems very
unusual that Delaware Valley College
has two weight rooms on campus.
Many students complain that the main
campus weight room lacks certain
equipment. The reason for this is
because the football team has taken it
to the stadium.

After talking to several students who
both play and don't play football,
students feel that there should be one
weight room on campus. This would
allow no exclusions from the use of
certain equipment.

Dear

In the Ram Pages dated 3/1/90, a
very interesting article detailing the
proposed D.V.C. visitation policy was
written by Erin E. Troutman. I'd like to
point out that, because of some adjust-
ment problems, there have been
changes made so that we still have a
working visitation policy while some
bugs are being worked out.

The requirement that a visitor leave a
driver's license has been suspended.
However, visitors are rquired to identify
themselves. We have not yet established
a prefered visitor list.

We are continuously speaking to
students, faculty and staff, seeking imput
from them so that together we can
design a visitation policy which provides
a reasonable level of security and at the
same time, minimize any impact on
personal convenience.
Sincerely,
Karl L. Filachek,
Director of Security

When my friends and I graduated
from high school, we all took part-time
jobs to pay for college.

Tney ended up in car washes and
hamburger joints, putting in long hours
for little pay.

Not me. My job takes just one
weekend a month and two weeks a year.
Yet, I'm earning $18,000 for college.

Because I mined my local Army
National Guard.

They're the people who help our
state during emergencies like hurri-
canes and floods. They're also an
important part of our country's military
defense.

So, since I'm helping them do such
an important job, they're helping me
make it through school.

W

As soon as I finished Advanced
Training, the Guard gave me a cash
bonus of $2,000. I'm also getting
another $5,000 for tuition and books,
thanks to the New GI Bill.

Not to mention my monthly Army
Guard paychecks. Theyll add up to
more than $11,000 over the six years
I'm in the Guard.

And if I take out a college loan, the
Guard will help me pay it back— up to
$1,500 a year, plus interest.

It all adds up to $18,000-or more
—for college for just a little of my time.
And that's a heck of a better deal than
any car wash will give you.

YOU THROUGH COLLEGE, TOO.

1990 a queen honey bee, Victoria-Jen
was born in the DVC Apiary. Her
mother was a pure bred Italian queen,
Holly-Dee. Her paternal Hneage could
not be determined because the mating
sign attached to her mother upon her
return to the colony was not adequate
for determination of her sire. A visial
determination of her sire was also not
possible, since the mating occurred in
flight at 1,200 feet with her parents
flying at 15 miles per hour.

"PLAYWRIGHT'S ROUNDTABLE."

FIRST IN NEW
PERFORMING ARTS SERIES

The inaugural course in a new series
of certificate course offerings in the
dramatic and performing arts at
Delaware Valley College will be
"Playwright's Roundtable" taught by
nationally known actor, director and
playwright, Pascual Vaquer. It beigns
on Tuesday, April 10, 1990.

"Playwright's Roundtable", an eight
week course, will be held on Tuesday
evenings from 4pm to 7pm in the Music
Room of DVC's Student Center. The
class will be open to a maximum of 20
students. The fee is $250 per student.

This forumstyle class will give play-
wrights and aspiring playwrights the
opportunity to engage in the process of
creating works for the theater based
upon the age-old tradition of a strong
story line, solid characterization, and
forceful dialogue. The classwork will
encompass drama, comedy, musical,
operatic and screenplay formats. The
object of this course is to make writing
fun instead of an effort.

The creative process begins with the
choice of appropriate material and
moves through research, the outline,
the placement of dramatic milestones,
dialogue and characterization, rewriting
to the end result which is a rehearsal
draft of a one-act play.

Each class is divided into three parts
to include: lecture; reading and
discussion of completed weekly assign-
ments; and writing, reading and dis-

cussion of classroom work. Each week's
completed assignment is the building
block for the following week's assign-
ment, a system which results in a
completed play.

"Playwright's Roundtable" was
created by Pascual Vaquer at the Actor's
Institute in New York City, and has
been on-going for four years. Mr.
Vacquer is a graduate of Boston
University's School of Fine and Applied
Arts and has been acting, directing,
writing and teaching in New York, Los
Angeles and locally. His comedy,
"Kevin's Bar Mitzvah" and his drama,
"The Cure" both earned him grants
from the Pennsylvania Council on the
Arts, and the New Hope Borough Arts
Commission. "The Cure" will be going
into production, under Mr. Vaquer's
direction in the fall of 1990 in New York
City.

Mr. Vaquer now lives in Bucks County
where he continues to write and to
teach aspiring and seasoned local play-
wrights and screen writers.

The new performing arts series at
Delaware Valley College will encompass
the dramatic and performing arts to
include acting, directing, producing,
writing for radio, writing for television,
stage design and musical comedy. For
more information about this series, or
to register for the "Playwright's
Roundtable," please call 345-1500,

A Letter from
The White House

I am pleased to extend warm greetings
to all those gathered at Delaware Valley
College for the Global Affairs
Symposium. This meetirig of dis-
tinguished representatives of academia,
government, and private industry will
no doubt produce many valuable
insights.

As we look around us, we know that
the world of March 1990 is a very
different place from the world of March
1989. We have seen some of the most
extraordinary events of the 20th Century
occur in the span of only a few short
months: from the tearing down of the
Berlin Wall to the rise of democratic
movements throughout Central and
Eastern Europe. In Panama, we have
seen a dictatorial strongman deposed
and replaced by a democratically elected
government. More recently, we have
rejoiced with the people of Nicaragua as
they began to reclaim their country
from the control of a Marxist-Leninist
regime.

Yet, this new world of hope also
poses challenges. The cause of security,
peace, and freedom still requires an
America that is strong, an America that
is engaged in the world, and an America
that is a leader. New democracies need
our help and support; peoples still
laboring under tyranny need our
encouragement; and conflicts that
continue to bring terror and destruction
to certain regions of the world call for
our continuing diplomatic efforts.

This Symposium provides an excellent
opportunity to explore the many new
opportunities and challenges that our
nation, indeed, our world, will face in
the months and years to come. I thank
all of you for sharing your knowledge
and expertise — such exchanges of
ideas and information can shed new
light upon very large and complex issues.

Barbara joins me in offering our best
wishes for a productive and enjoyable
series of discussions. God bless you,
and God bless America.

The Gerry Guzzy Story

For those students who take our
Apiculture (beekeeping) course, one of
the course requirements is that the
students must participate in selling
honey at A-Day. We feel that this is
justified, since one aspect of Apiculture
is the sale of honey products. During
the first year that I taught Apiculture,
there was a student in the class by the
name of Gerry G uzzy . Gerry considered
himself to be a tough individual, since
he had graduated from East Side
(Paterson, NJ) High School which has
rcscently gained national notoriety due
to its current baseball bat carrying
principal. Gerry prided himself that he
went home every weekend, never
participated in any on campus activities,
and never been to or taken part in A-
Day. After he found out about the
Apiculture A-Day requirement, he asked
his roommate what he thought I would
do if he skipped A-Day to which his
roommate replied that "Doc Berthold
was probably a son of a B enough to
flunk him". Therefore, it was with much
beating of breasts, pulling of hair, and
gnashing of teeth that Gerry participated
in A-Day. After class the following week,
Gerry came up to me (and 1 figured that

home and was going to get even with
me!) and although he said that he hated
to do this, he thanked me for forcing
him to participate in A Day, and he said
that it was the most enjoyable time he
had had at DVC, and that he wished
that he had started when he was a
freshman.

From Gerry's experience, I strongly
urge all members of our college com-
munity to get involved in A-Day. It is
really fun and rewarding to be in the
"trenches" with other members of the
college community and to deal with the
public and the numerous alumni who
return each year for A-Day. All majors
have clubs on campus who could use
your talents. Also non-club members
are always welcome to help out in the
many different A-Day activities. Hope
to see you here on the last weekend in

ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE

Board appointed position and includes
responsibilty for the financial progress
of the institution, its budgets and other
financial matters. For the past three
months Roy Hager has been volun
teering his time to work essentially full
time at DVC. He has worked as a
trustee, as our treasurer, as a full-time
volunteer and, in addition, he con

tributes of himself and financially to the
College. He has met with dozens of
College personnel to "test the tem-
perature" of our organization. He has
done all of this without one penny of
compensation and he has done it for the
good of the College and our students.
R. Roy Hager is demonstrative of the

ATTENTION FISHERMEN,
FISHER WOMEN AND FISHERPEOPLE

Yes fin-addicts, its ofish-al. Another season is upon us. (Yeah, at last, finally,
something to live for!!!!) That means it is time for the DVC Fishing Club to have its first
and in some years, only meeting. So this

WEDNESDAY - APRIL 1 ITH AT 7:30 P.M.
AG BUILDING RM 211 (THE FRESHMEN BIOLOGY LABORATORY)
will be the date of this gala affair. On the agenda is the upcoming trout season and
shad run (incidentally a few have already been caught) with suggestions of where to
fish locally. Members will be invited to share some of their secrets (after all, club
members are sworn to secrecy). Another highlight of the program will be the
presentation of Charlie White's Videp titled "Salmon Spectacular". Charlie White has
developed a camera that actually records the action of lures underwater and the
response of fish to them. I have seen it and it is one of the best fishing video's around.
So plan to take a study break and join us. I expect we will order pizza and soda. Any
questions or suggestions, contact Ron Johnson, Agb 1 10, Ext. 2326. See you there.

Peer Counselors Needed

Remember those first few hectic and scary days of your Freshman year? There was
a Peer Counselor there to assist you in your transition; someone who had been there
before and remembered what it was like. The Peer Counselor was there to answer
your questions and make sure you could find your way around your new home.

The Counseling Center is looking for a few good men and women to fill this role for
the class of 1994. It involves returning to school in August a few days early to
participate in a workshop and in the Freshmen Orientation. It also involves a
commitment to the Freshmen throughout the year. There is no pay involved,
however there is tremendous satisfaction in knowing you have helped the next group
along the way to an enjoyable and successful college experience.

Applications for Peer Counseling positions can be picked up in the Counseling
Center from Betsy Arrison. If you have questions or would like to learn more about
the job ask a current Peer Counselor or stop by and see Betsy or Mr. Fulcoly.

The deadline for applying will be April 16, 1990. If you are good with people and are
willing to extend yourself to the class of 1994 we would love to hear from you.

career in February 1950 as a teller at the
First National Bank in Perkasie.
Apparently, he kept his daily accounts
and balances in order because 38 years
later and since August of 1983, he has
served as Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Independence Bancorp Inc. a
multi-bank holding company which
administers five separate banks in-
cluding the Bucks County Bank and
Trust Company. Working his way up

from teller to Chief Executive Officer
required many interim steps, collecting
vast experience in financial areas and
markets and a thorough knowledge of
administration and personal relations.
In civic and charitable participation
Roy Hager has worked for the Rotary
Club, the Chamber of Commerce,
various church volunteer activities,
Pennridge High School, the Penn
sylvania Bankers Association, the
United Way, the Pierce Library
Association, the American Institute of
Banking, and the American Bankers
Association. He is today participating in
the Boy Scouts, Rotary and the United
Way as well as several additional civic
and charitable activities. Roy Hager is
native to this area having been brought
up in Perkasie. He has served both as
an enlisted man and a commissioned
officer in the United States Army,
achieving the rank of Major prior to his
retirement from the service in February
1974.

He has received recognition awards
from the Boy Scouts, the Central Bucks
Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary
Club and the Pennridge Chamber of
Commerce. He serves today on the
Professional Board of Directors of
several banks including Independence
Bancorp Inc. He is constantly sought
after by legislators, local leaders and
business leaders and is recognized as a
top civic leader in our area.

In Roy Hager's new capacity as
Executive Vice President and Treasurer
of the College, he will supervise the
financial administration, personnel,
management information systems and
will represent the College in legislative
matters. Mr. John Pyne, Comptroller,
Mr. Jack Rininger, Assistant to the
President, and Mrs. Rita Chrismer,
Personnel Manager, will report to Mr.
Hager effective April 1, 1990. Other
administrative and staff duties and
responsibilities may be assigned to Mr.
Hager's department from time to time.

In strengthening the financial posture
of the College, it is entirely appropriate
that a senior executive with over thirty-
five years of experience become in-
volved. Please welcome Roy Hager as a
new employee of the College.

Linde Named to MAC Academic Honor Roll

Delaware Valley College junior center

DVC Students Attend
PA-IFL Convention

by Brad A. Bittner

Recently students Jennifer Bilsard
and Brad Bittner attended the Penn-
sylvania Intercollegiate Federation for
Life (PA IFL) Convention at Pcnn State
University on March 23-25. The con-
ventions arc held each semester at a
different member-university to discuss
ideas and share information concerning
Pro-Life issues and events that occur in
the United States, the state of Penn-
sylvania and on PA college campuses.
Topics of major discussion at the recent
convention were the effects of upcoming
primaries and elections on the pro-
abortion/ pro-life movements and the
April 28 Rally for Life in Washington,
DC. Talks were presented by PA Pro-
Life Federation President, Garnett
Biviano, on "The Prospects for PA Pro-
Lifers," professor Stephen Krason on
"The American History of Abortion,"
PegLucsik, PA Gubernatorial candidate
for governor, Carol Everett on "Inside
the Abortion Industry" and various
workshops to discuss ideas and elect
new PA IFL officers.

Our hosts were wonderful and we
had a great time while learning a great
deal about the collegiate Pro-Life move-
ment and how each of us can do our
part to protect the lives of the unborn,
the aged, and the disabled. If you would
like to learn more about the PA-IFL
and/or start a chapter at Delaware
Valley College, please contact Jen
Bilsard at box 624 or Brad Bittner alt

Disclosure Database on CD-ROM in the Library Carnival Cons, Part I

On April 2nd, 1990 the library received
Disclosure database on a Compact
Disk. This database includes financial
information on 12,000 public companies
in the U.S. and overseas. Every report
contains summary information ex-
tracted from the SEC filings ( lOK, 20-F,
10 Q, 8-K, Proxy Statement, Registra
tion Statement, Annual Report). Besides
financial information, like income state-
ments, balance sheets and ratios, it
provides such information as; Chief
Executive Officers and their salaries,
stock ownership of a given company,
management discussions, and listings
of companies SEC filings.

The whole report is divided into
searchable fields, which you can
manipulate in a variety of ways. The
database will be available to search in

two modes: — Menu driven — Dialog
command language.

The annual subscription to this service
is over $5,000 and an on line search,
which we can provide upon request,
costs $100 per hour of connect time
(approximately $20 per report). HOW
EVER, NOW WE CAN USE THIS
DATABASE FREE OF ANY CHARGE
FOR THE WHOLE MONTH OF
APRIL.

Please become familiar with this
excellent source of business information
on most of the major U.S. companies.
Disclosure is being used by market
research firms, as well as investment
banks, business consultants, and
accounting firms. It is a unique
opportunity to see the new technoPogy
being used in the business setting.

Rotz Selected to MAC All-Star Team
for Third Consecutive Year

Delaware Valley College senior guard
Laura Rotz (St. Hubert's/Philadelphia,
PA) has been selected to the Middle
Atlantic conference (MAC) Northeast
Section all-Star team for the third
consecutive year for her outstanding
play during the 1989-90 season.

"She's the best to ever play at
Delaware Valley," said DelVal coach
Gary Pento. "She's done everything
that was expected of her and despite
facing junk defenses all season, she was
still able to become the school's all-time
leading scorer."

The 5foot'8 co-captain finished her
career as the school's all-time leading
scorer, netting 1,413 career points,
including a single-season record 474
markers this season. The MAC

Northern Division most Valuable Player
for the 1988-89 season, Rotz led the
Lady Aggies to their third consecutive
winning season, 15 12, along with a
third straight MAC and EC AC playoff
appearance, averaging a team high 17.6
points per game (ppg). She also hit 52
three-point field goals and handed out a
team leading 90 assists, while making 8 1
steals.

The All-American candidate led the
Lady Aggies in scoring eighteen times
during the year, including nine outings
of twenty or more points. She became
just the second player in DelVal
women's basketball history to surpass
the 1 ,000 point plateau, when she scored
a career-high 29 points in an 83 71 win
over Upsala on November 28th.

Spring is here!! With the coming of
Spring, can outdoor carnivals be far
behind? Big and small carnivals set up
all over the area sponsored by a variety
of causes and organizations. I must
emphasize that all carnivals are not
dishonest, but you should be aware of
the possibilities of illegal rigging in some
of the games of chance. Below is listed a
sample of some of the games and how
they can be rigged. Forewarned is
forearmed!!!
Game: Coin Falls
Operation: Attempt to drop a coin on a
tray which is being swept by a bar which
is supposed to cause coins to fall into a
payoff slot.

Rigging.- Sometimes the end of the tray
has a small lip which prevents coins
falling. Side slots accept coins which do
not fall into payoff slot.
Game: Diggers

Operation: Miniature steam shovel or a
sliding bar which is supposed to move
merchandise to a slot where it falls into
a payoff receptacle.
Rigging; Jaws of shovel are too sma'' or
too weak to grip merchandise Some
times a slip gear causes the arm or
shovel to move back after you stop it,
thereby misaligning your efforts.
Game: Balloon Darts
Operation: Throw a dart, break a
balloon and get the prize behind or
below the balloon.

Rigging.' The large prize balloons are
underinflated.
Game: Coin Toss
Operation: Toss coins onto dishes to
win prizes.

Rigging: Dishes for large prizes set
under handing prizes, waxed, or set at a
slight angle. If coin must land in a circle
on the dish, circle is raised with lacquer
or plastic.

Game: Mouse Game
Operation: Bets are made on numbers
or colors. A live mouse is let loose in a
pit surrounded with holes which are
either numbered or colored. The color
or number of the hole the mouse enters
is the winner.

Rigging; Sometimes a hidden foot
control closed holes. Operator may dip
finger in ammonia and touch the hole of
color or number with smallest amount
of bet. Mouse is attracted to that hole
and enters.

Game: Spinning Wheels
Operation: Spin of the wheel, and if it
lands on a certain number, you win.
Rigging; Mechanical or magnetic brake;
misaligned pins on edge of wheel.
This is part one of guidelines for carnival
games. We will put part two in the next
Ram Pages.

President Rorer with nrrembers of the Polish Delegation

DVC Signs Agreement with Polish University

Officials from Delaware Valley College
traveled to Washington, D.C. Friday,
April 6 to sign a Tripartite Agreement of
Cooperation with the University of
Florida and the University of Poznkan,
Poland.

The agreement developed from the
collective efforts of all three institutions
to develop closer Polish-American
relations through mutually beneficial
agricultural projects in research,
extension and teaching, according to
Polish Ambassador Jan Kinast.

"This cooperation has involved the
exchange of numerous scientists and
will now involve the exchange of
students as well," said Kinast.
"Significant financial support has been
given this project through the United
States Information Agency with official
recognition and sanction of both the
Polish and American governments."

Two students from the University of
Poznan have been visiting the Delaware
Valley College campus since March 29.
Maciej Sip and Pr2emyslaw Baranjecki
have attended classes, taken part in
agricultural club activities and lived in a

dorm since their arrival.

Three faculty members from the
University of Poznan arrived on April 1 .
Wlodzimierz Fiszer. President of the
University, Dr. Jerry Pudelko, Professor
of Agronomy, and Zbigniew Sniatala,
Professor of English, have toured local
farm operations and met with members
of the DVC faculty and administration
during their stay.

The entire delegation took part in the
College's International Day program on
April 3 as well as its Founders' Day
Program and Reception on April 4.

On Thursday, April 5, the Polish
delegation toured Independence Hall
and the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia
before attending the monthly meeting
of The Philadelphia Society for the
Promotion of Agriculture.

On Friday, April 6, the group departed
for Washington at noon, with a reception
scheduled for the Polish Embassy at 7
p.m.

On Saturday, April 7, the delegation
toured the National Shrine of Our Lady
of Czestochowa in New Britain Town-
ship as well as local supermarkets.

Joe Ferry,

Mr. Edward O'Brien,

Dr. Richard Ziemcr

Suppose four people are walking
aimlessly down the street and come
across a house on fire and hear cries for
help from inside. It is possible that each
one would react differently. One person
might heroically rush into the blazing
house to rescue the victim. Another
person might run to call the fire depart-
ment, while a third might offer immediate
reaction, but later press for stricter fire
codes and greater fire safety and
prevention awareness. The fourth
person may choose to ignore the tragedy
completely, thinking "it's not my
problem, why should I get involved?" Or,
perhaps this person feels the situation is
already under control and they are not
needed.

All of these are feasable reactions
people might have if faced with such a
tragedy, and all are beneficial, with the
exception of the last one. The last
person should stop to realize that if
everyone took on this type of attitude
nothing would be accomplished. In other
words, everyone should offer their
services, no matter how inconsequential
they may seem — because it all adds
up.

This scenario can be applied to the
Pro-Life movement. Presently, it is
unfortunate that there are some people
who detest abortion, the killing of
defenseless, innocent life, but fail to
take a stand because of the preceeding
reasons. Fortunately, however, there
are also those of us willing to take action
to protect the unborn. (They cannot
fight for themselves.) If anyone is
interested in getting involved in a
Pennsylvania Intercollegate Federation
for Life (PA-IFL) chapter at DVC, please
contact either Brad Bittner, box 222, or
myself, Jennifer Blisard, box 624. We
recently attended a convention of the
PA-IFL at Penn State University that
was very inspirational. Chapters from
many schools attended the event at
which we exchanged information,
encouragement, understanding, and
support. Let's show the other chapters
what we can do! We look forward to

your support.

Sincerely
Jennifer Blisard

Prater Vigil

It came as a pleasant surprise to me
that at 10:00 p.m. a group meets in the
chapel to pray regularly on campus.
That's the good news; the other good
news is that anyone is invited to attend.
We need a method by which we can
relay requests for prayer to this group.
Any ideas? How about a prayer vigil
box in the Dining Room?

Dr. Richard C. Ziemer

DVC-1 - PRESIDENT
RORER*S HOT LINE.

. . Dave thanks for your concern when
it comes to students and their overall
safety when walking to/from classes
and the dining room. Between Dr.
Martin, Mr. Filachek, Mr. Kane and
others, we are studying the most
cost-effective means of outlining our
roads, curbs, etc.

. . By now the pay phone has been
repaired in Elson Hall. Please tell
your pals to not abuse the phones -
O.K.?

. . Yes, an older/unwelcomed group
was in our gym recently. Key
personnel did take action and the
trespassers were promptly asked to
leave campus, and they did!

. . Lack of trash cans in a dorm usually
tells us a story - - that is the cans have
been "borrowed" for one reason or
another. In the future, before
checking with the Housekeepmg
personnel, I suggest you check with
your dorm mates first.

. . Yes, we know some faculty members
have stronger teaching techniques
than others, but thanks for your
observations and comments.

. . Yes, some ground (topsoil) has been
placed in strategic locations as
temporary storage sites until the soil
can be used elsewhere on our
campus. O.K.? Questions? See Mr.
G. Coulton.

. . Sorry, for the fish which was placed
on/behind the radiator in your dorm.
We hope and trust this sort of prank
will not happen again.

. . We're told the striping used on our
baseball diamond is 100% safe. By
the way, "well done" to our DVC
baseball team - - you all are really
doing A'O.K.

. . John, Residence Life tells us the TV
shelves are on order. Thanks for
your concern.

. . Sorry, the soda machines ran out,
they were refilled the next working
day. Your call, with specific infor-
mation, was most helpful.

. . Concerning the use of our Computer
Classrooms on weekends, the
available days and times are:
Saturdays, 12 Noon to 4 P.M.
Sundays, 6 P.M. to 9 P.M.

EARTH DAY EVERYDAY!

On April 22 the country will com-
memorate the 20th Anniversary of Earth
Day. The original Earth Day in 1970 was
the largest organized environmental
demonstration in history. An estimated
20 million people participated in it,
giving birth to the modern environmental
movement in the United States.

Earth Day in 1990 will launch the
Decade of the Environment. Earth Day
1990 events seek to renew and expand
the groundswell of support for environ-

mentally sound products, investments
and policies.

An estimated 3,(K)0 events will take
place nationwide, with an estimated 58
million people participating. In
Washington, environmental groups have
planned a gala Earth Day com-
memoration. For more information on
these activities, call the Earth Day 1990

Fcsrrets & Owners Wanted

Lehigh Valley Ferret Rescue is looking
for ferrets to be adopted to good homes.
We currently have ten very fine pets of
which six can be adopted.

If you have a pet ferret, or if you have
found a ferret, or know of an abused
ferret, whatever the case may be contact
us today at (215) 266-7189.

If you would like to have a pet ferret,

please call us at the same number. We

have a steady turnover of both altered

and unaltered male and female ferrets.

•Many colors to choose from.

Ferrets are a very friendly, trusting
animal and make good pets for young
and old alike. Contrary to popular belief
they are very easy to keep, you might
say a "low maintenance pet". Most arc
litter trained and can be taught to do
tricks.

A Ferret will live up to eleven years or
more with proper care.

Lehigh Valley Ferret Rescue is a
young organization set up to protect
ferrets from being destroyed. Many
animal shelters will destroy ferrets
because they do not understand them,
but here at Lehigh Valley Ferret Rescue
we have many years of experience. We
are also registered with the largest

When asked how his job with IBM
relates to the education he has been
receiving at Delaware Valley College,
he responded, "The faculty at Del-Val
has prepared me for the computer and
business environment of today, not
yesterday. I have utilized my education
in almost all of my business encounters
at IBM."

Some of the duties of the program
include: product planning (includes
writing documentation about the soft-
ware in order for it to be released in the
market, communicating with diverse
population (management, engineers,

Chemistry Department Receives
Powered Spectrometer

By Adam Kaplan

An industrial quality Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance Spectrometer was recently
donated to the Chemistry Department
This instrument was made available to
the department by Satler Research
Laboratories in Philadelphia, and two
DVC class of 1976 graduates.

Until the new machine was donated,
students in the upper level chemistry
classes had been using computer
simulation software in the laboratory.
Dr. Orr, chairman of the Chemistry
Department, says that the new spectro-
meter "...will complement and supple-

ment the computer with the real thing."
This provides the student with a new
level of practical hands on experience.
This new instrument will allow the
student to learn more about the
structure of the compounds being made
and studied in the organic chemistry
courses. Also, in spectroscopy and
analytical chemistry, the instrument will
allow the student to find out what they
have, and how much of it. After the
freshmen year, the spectrometer will be
used in almost all of the laboratory
classes.

Dr. Brubaker Elected
President of Local
A.A.L.A.S. Branch.

DVC professor Dr. Brubaker was
recently elected president of the
Delaware Valley branch of the American
Association for Laboratory Animal
Science, (A.A.L.A.S.). Dr. Brubaker
will hold this post for the 1990-1991
session of the D.V.B. A.A.L.A.S This
will be the third time he has been
elected to this position.

DVB-AALAS held its last sesiion of
the season at DelVal on April 11. The
guest speaker at this meeting was Mr.
Eric Hendrics, Executive Director of
the Pennsylvania Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals. The
topic of Mr. Hendrics speech was "Open
Up Your Labs."

Mr. Hendrics said that organizations
using animals for researc h need to open
their labs for inspections if the industry
is to survive. He notes the general
public is increasingly concerned with
the use of animals in research. Mr.
Hendrics would like the laboratories to
allow inspections by responsible organ-
izations such as the PSPCA, that are
concerned with the welfare of animals,
but do not want to put the labs out of
business. He said the public needs to
know how the animals are being treated,
and these inspections would be to the
benefit of the company and the animals.

MARIJUANA - YES or NO

By John Casiiii and Eleanor Price

The second "SPEAKOUT DEBATE"
covering the pros and cons of legal-
ization of marijuana, was held on March
27, 1990 in the student center music
room and presented by students from
the speech classes of Mrs. Roberts and
Mrs. Koch.

The students debating on the pro
panel were Ed Mulroy, Chris Beaulieu,
Lance Crabtree, and Ron Dami; the
con panel included Jeff Fromeyer,
Lucinda Wilke, Brett Right, and George
Jones.

There are several reasons for legal-
izing marijuana such as, it would be
easier to regulate the amount bought,
amount sold, and price; also legalization
would decrease use of hard drugs,
decrease crime, and bring in tax dollars.

Points made from the cons against
legalization of marijuana included using
marijuana causes permanent dama^
to the brain, it would make an already
big problem to grow bigger, and it
would make it easier for drug dealers to
make money. For example, alcohol is
legal and it is a problem today. As for
bringing in tax dollars is it acceptable to
make money off of people's problems?

A panel of four judges evaluated the
presentation of facts by each debator
Mrs. Koch, Ms. Algeo, Mrs. Roberts,
and Ms. Klaessig, and Dr. Hill tallied the
scores.

Announcer for the pros was Debby
Armstrong and for the cons it was
Stephanie Armstrong.

Photographs and video was done by
Laurent Lanee and David Daikeler.

Dear Editors

On Thursday, April 5, DelVal
accepted the delivery of two 1990 Ford
Club Wagon 15-passenger vans. These
vans replace two vans which were
condemned due to age and being in
unrepairable condition. These additions
now give DelVal four vans which are
less than a year old.

At DelVal, we pride ourselves on the
fact that we know the value of machinery
and the problems that are caused when
they break down. Accordingly, everyone
tries to maintain the equipment which
they use. I hope this carries over to the
drivers of our vans.

Unfortunately, we cannot always
control what happens. Every once in a

while, accidents occur. Presently, one
of our leased vans is being repaired
after having a rather negative "inter-
action" with a protruding fence post.
Besides depriving the DelVal community
of the use of this van, we are also
required to rent one to replace it during
its repair.

We should all drive safely, sensibly
and defensively in both our private
vehicles and the college vehicles. In this
way we may be able to improve our fleet
and maintain it in an exemplary condition
befitting of DelVal.

A Letter of Thanks

On behalf of the American Cancer
Society, Bucks County Unit, I wanted
to take this oportunity to let you know
how much we appreciated the recent
efforts of Theta Chi Sigma members
who raised over $900 for our organ-
ization.

Under the leadership of John Thomas,
the members got pledges for downed
bowling pins with all proceeds to benefit
the Cancer Society. They bowled at
Doylestown Lanes on March 5th.

The proceeds will be used to expand
and enhance our ongoing programs of
research, education and patient services
here in Bucks County.

The American Cancer Society com-
mends the thoughtful action of your
students in supporting our organization.

Sincerely
Fran Green

Carnival Cons,
Part II

by Karl L. Filachek,

Director of Security

This is part II of a short series on
carnival con games and what you should
be aware of. Keep in mind that we are
not saying that all carnivals are
dishonest, but we are simply providing
information to warn the unwary of
possible cheating in some games. Below
are listed some of the games and what
to be wary of.

Game: Knock Downs
Operation: Knock down bottles, bowling
pins, etc., with balls, either by throwing
or swinging.

Rigging: Sometimes the bottles or pins
are weighted; or they are set up
differently for demonstration than they
are for actual play.
Game: Cover the Dot
Operation: Dot on paper must be fully
covered, either with discs or by shooting
a rifle.

/digging; Dots are too big for discs to
cover them. Operator uses sleight of
hand to cover dot when demonstrating.
Gam^: Ring Toss
Operafion; Toss a ring or hoop so that
it falls over the merchandise and the
base to win.

/digging.' Hanging prizes prevent proper
angle of approach. Large prize base is
too large for hoop.
Game: Nail Hammering
Operation: Hammer nails into a thick
board with one hit.

Rigging.- Sometimes nails are soft or
dull; occasionally a steel plate is im-
bedded in board.
Game: Ball Toss

Operation: Toss balls into bushel basket.
Rigging; Calling a foul; use lever to
change angle of basket.
Game: Fish or Duck Pond
Operation: Pull a string or pick up a
duck; win the prize that is listed.
Rigging; No large prizes are listed; ducks
with large prizes are magnetized so that
when they enter the tunnel, they stick
to sides or roof and do not come out; if
string pull, operator palms the strings
with the large prizes.

The atmosphere of a carnival is a
happy one. Enjoy yourself — but be on
guard at the same time.

Recyclins

Ziemerism

Stagecoach:

drama director

Why Rec^/cle?

Recyc/ing saues energy, fhus reducing
acid rain, global warming and air
pollution.

• Recycling aluminum uses 95 percent
less energy than producing aluminum
products from raw materials.

• Recycling paper uses 60 percent less
energy than manufacturing paper
from virgin timber.

• Recycling a glass jar saves enough
energy to light a 100-watt light bulb
for four hours.

Recycling conserves valuable natural
resources.

• 75,000 trees are used for the Sunday
edition of the New York Times each
week, yet only 30 percent of news-
papers are recycled in the United
States.

• Recycling metals minimizes the need
for mining new minerals and de-
creases damage to wilderness.

Recycling cuts down on landfill.

• The average Am^ican throws away
four pounds of garbage per day.

• By 1994, half the cities in the U .S. will
run out of landfill space.

• By recycling it is possible to cut our
waste stream by 80 percent.

What You Can Do

Purchase an consume according to the
3 "R"s: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Reduce the amount of garbage you
generate by purchasing products with
minimal packaging (about half of all
waste is packaging).

• Purchase foods in bulk.

• "Recycle" by purchasing products in
recyclable containers, such as
aluminum, glass, paper and card-
board.

• Avoid plastic and styrofoam products
that are neither reusable nor re-
cyclable, such as disposable diapers,
lighters, razors, and plastic utensils.

• Use white paper - it is easier to
recycle than colored paper.

• Bringyour own paper bags, or better
yet, cloth bags, to the supermarket.

• Use a coffee mug rather than styro-
foam cups.

Reuse is the most efficient form of
recycling, requiring no new natural
resources or energy.

• Use products that are made to be
used many times, such as cloth
diapers, cloth napkins, towels and
rags, sponges, dishes and silverware,
rechargeable batteries, etc.

• Use the blank back sides of paper to
take notes and do scratch work.

• Mend clothes and repair broken
appliances.

• Take care of belongings to help them
last longer.

• Look into purchasing used goods at
second hand stores and junk yards
to eliminate unnecessary production.

Recycle as many materials as possible.
Many communities have established
programs to recycle aluminum, steel,
glass, newspaper and cardboard. It is
also possible to recycle magazines,
colored paper, wood, oil, solvents and
some plastics.

• Support a bottle bill (including
plastics) that establishesd a deposit
on beverage containers.

• Help establish and promote a curb-
side recycling program.

• Organize a recycling program at your
school, office, apartment building,
church, etc.

• Recycle food scraps and yard trimm-
ings by creating a compost pile.
(Food wastes and yard debrs> make
up about one-third of the waste
stream.)

How To Recycle

• Separate cans, bottles, newspapers
and white paper.

Glass: Remove lids from bottles and

jars and rinse out well. (Some

recycling centers ask that you

separate glass by color.)

Cans: Remove labels and rinse well.

(Most recycling centers ask that you

separate aluminum from other

metals.)

Newspaper; Tie newspapers into

bundles or put them in a paper bag.

White paper should go into a separate

container.

• Contact your local or state recycling
division to find out if your community
has a curbside recycling program. If
so, put out your recyclables the night
before the scheduled pickup. If no
curbside pickup exists, take your
cans, bottles and papers to the
nearest drop-off site.

• Used motor oil and car batteries can
often be recycled at service stations.

Recycling doesn't work unless there are
markets for the new products. Part of
being a recycler is purchasing products
made from recycled materials, such as
recycled white office paper. When
shopping, look for the recycling symbol
(three arrows forming a circle), indicat-
ing that the packaging was made from
recycled materials. Check with
companies you do business with to see
if they use recycled products. If not,
encourage them to do so.

Students Demand Answers

Approximately 50 students gathered
in Lasker Hall Lobby requesting to
speak with President Rorer on Friday.
April 27. 1990 about 3:00 p.m.

The students feel they are the
important ingredient that keeps the
college alive, therefore they would
appreciate having the administration
give them some attention and answer
some basic questions concerning DVC
policies that affect them.

One young lady stated "They don't
have the courtesy to talk with us on our
level. We don't want the president to
get on a stage and talk at us or lecture.
We need to talk face to face on common
ground." -

The issues that are troubling DVC
students arc written as stated by the
students —

1 Why are there large amounts of
money spent on some educational
areas and small amounts spent in
other areas?

2 How much did Animal Sciences get
for a new dairy?

3 Why does agriculture get all the
attention and Business gets no
recognition?

4 Why can't an equal amount be spent
on Landscaping, Horticulture,
Business, and the Greenhouses?

5 Why did all the money go into the
Equine Center — for how many
students (37)?

How many students do we have on
campus, 956?

The Equine Center is not being fully
used after spending so much.
Why not use the Equine Center as a
recreational facility for all the
students?
We as paying students would like to see
an itemized list of where our tuition

goes.
Or is it
rigging.'

Students are forced to leave campus
and go to "Club Genesis".

If the school can't afford better
weight room facilities — why not
work something out with "Club
Genesis" or some other health
center?
Campus meals and service are poor —
too much starchy foods. If a student
is one minute late to the dining room,
he won't be served. Why can't there
be a credit system — i.e. every
student living on campus is issued a
meal ticket that is punched every
time the student eats in the dining
room — if they can't get to the dining
room the ticket could be used at the
Pub.

Financial Aid, Tuition Figures Aired

Student facilities ar6 pathetic! We
need a better weight room — also a
weight room equipped for girls.

A number of questions about next
year's proposed tuition increase have
been raised during the recent student
protests on campus. In an effort to
clear up some of the confusion and
misinformation surrounding these issues.
Ram Pages adviser Joe Ferry sat down
with President Rorer to collect some
facts.

According to the President, next
year's operating budget, which goes
into effect on July 1. 1990. is proposed
at 517.016,310.' Of that total.
S2. 135.000. or 12.5% of the entire
budget, is listed as direct financial aid
from the college to its students. This
figure does not include state or federal
grants or third-party college scholar-
ships.

The financial aid figures break down
this way: Campus Employment is pro-
posed to go from S290.000 this year to
5398,000 in 1990-91, an increase of
5108,000 (37%). Work Study financial
aid is proposed to increase from S20.000
to $25,000 (25%). Grant-in-Aid funds
are proposed to rise from $1,240,000 to

31,712.000. an increase of $472,000
(38%). The overall increase in student
financial aid is proposed to go from
SI. 550,000 to $2,135,000, an increase
of 5585.000 for a total overall increase
of 37.7%.

In the proposed 1990-91 budget,
tuition and fees are proposed to be
increased from the current $7,775 to
58.275. a rise of 5500 (6.4%). Room
rates are proposed to increase either
5100 or 5200. depending on the type
of room chosen, to a total of either
51,725 or 51,825.

The college's meal plans are proposed
to increase 5100 to $2,090 for the
20-meal plan or $1,890 for the 16-meal
plan.

The overall increase for a student
choosing a more expensive room and the
20-meal plan is $800 (7.0%) for a total
cost of $12,190.

President Rorer emphasized that all
of these figures are preliminary in nature
and are subject to review, discussion and
action by the Board of Trustees.

EDITORS NOTE

Since this is the last issue of the
Ram Pages for the 1989 1990 school
year, I would like to extend the
thanks of the Ram Pages staff to all of
you who contributed material to the
paper. Also a special thanks to the
Advisors and to Security for all of
their help.

As you probably know, by looking
at the staff box, the Ram Pages is
going to need help next semester. If
you would be interested in helping
with the Ram Pages, or if you have
any ideas on how we can make the
paper better, please drop a note in
box 980, addressed to the Ram Pages.
Thank you for your support. I hope
we can look forward to your con
tinued support in the future.

Have a grest summer! See you in

I feel that our security staff has been
treated with a lot of disrespect and
unkindness. Many people on campus
seem to feel that the security staff is
interfering with their college social life.
Almost all of the policies that security
enforces were drawn up by the college
and the state of PA, not the security
force. If you are unhappy with a policy
of the school or state, talk about it with
a member of the administration.

Probably the most unliked policy on
campus is the one that deals with
underage drinking. Let us not forget
that this is a policy that is required by
the state of Pennsylvania. The security
staff did not draw up or implement this
policy, so don't take Out your frustra-
tions on the security staff when you get
a fine or probation. Write a letter to
your senator or congressman if you
have something to say. Remember that
we as students have to do our part by

Dear Editors

proving that we can enjoy a beer or two
without abusing it. In the end, it will be
up to us to show everyone that we can
use alcohol responsibly.

Another policy that seems to cause
some anger is the one concerning the
amount of time we have to load or
unload our cars. If there is a policy that
is causing undue problems, the security
staff is more than willing to work with us
in attempting to solve it. If you have a
problem with meeting the time limit,
talk to them and say you need some
more time.

One of the best things about DelVal
is that the students can make a
difference. If you want to see something
changed on campus, just talk to an
administrator about it. And let's not
forget that the security staff is here to
help us. They are a terrific bunch of
people that deserve a lot more respect
than they are given.

Dear.

While the terms liberty and anarchy
are often used interchangably, one must
question the validity of this usage.
Defining the two terms is an objective
process; liberty is the freedom of action
and thought; anarchy is the absence of
government. Usage, however, is often
marked by subjectivity. Through the
analysis of the terms' implications, one
can determine the relationship between
libertarianism and anarchism.

Intrinsic to libertarianism is the
advocacy of free will; man's choices
must not be constrained by external
circumstances. Taken to an extreme,
libertarianism justifies the existence of
every social, economic, political, and
religious system. Morality is designated
as a variable, and the thoughts and
actions of any individual or group are
permissable, for there is no paradigm of
confinement.

Unlike libertarianism, anarchism
opposes the existence of any binding
system; all forms of government are
viewed as oppressive and must be

abolished. Morality is designated -« a
constant, and the absence of authority
must be maintained in order to allow for
the expression of freedom of thought
and action. Anarchism does not specify
how this condition is to be met. and for
this reason many discard the feasibility
of anarchy.

While libertarianism and anarchism
appear to be diametrical, they both
idealize uncompromised freedom. In
practice, compromises are necessary,
for individuals' freedoms often conflict.
Perhaps civil libertarianism is the
solution. Although this ideology calls
for compromises, civil libertarianism
essentially allows for freedom as long as
it does not conflict with another's. The
term civil implies the existence of a
state; the political body, however must
be extremely limited and tolerant of the
thoughts and actions of its citizens.
While civil libertariansim conflicts with
radical libertarianism and anarchism, it
provides a valid and practical plan for
the maintenance of social liberties.

representative from the Israeli Ministry
of Agricultural Affairs visited DelVal
during its A-Day celebration. Mr. Elkana
was given a tour of the college by
members of the Hillel club. He was
taken around the large animal facilities,
horticulture buildings, and the lab animal
science center. Mr. Elkana is planning
to return to Delaware Valley College
this fall, possibly to sign an agreement
between DelVal and an Israeli university.

Lady Aggies Finish with

Winning Season

Straight STUDENTS

DOYLESTOWN (PA) For the
third consecutive year, sixth-year head
coach Gary Pento guided his Lady
Aggies basketball team to a winning
campaign, 15 12, and appearances in
the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC)
and Eastern Collegiate Athletic con
ference (EC AC) playoffs. The fifteen
wins are the second most in the school's
history, as the Green and Gold reached
the ECAC South championship game
for the second straight season.

"We have a great nucleus returning
for next year after all of the valuable
experience these kids gained this
season," said Pento. "With a club as
young and as green as we were with
three freshmen on the floor most of the
time, it was growing year that was still
successful."

DelVal reached the MAC playoffs,
tying King's for second place with a 6 4
mark in the NE section, but dropped a
special playoff game to the Lady
Monarchs 69-60. The club also earned a
spot in the ECAC South Region Playoffs,
defeating Ursinus (81-67) to reach the
championship game, where they lost to
host Frostburg State 81 55 to finish out
the season.

Leading the way for the Lady Aggies
were seniors Laura Rotz (St.
Hubert's/Philadelphia, PA) and Rhonda
Hill (University City/Philadelphia, PA),
who provided leadership and the bulk
of the scoring load.

Rotz, an All-American candidate at
guard, was selected to the MAC
Northeast Section All-Star team for the
third straight year after leading the
squad in scoring with a 17.6 point per
game (ppg) average. She scored a DVC
single-season record 474 points on the
year to become the school's all-time
leading scorer with 1,413 career
markers. The Lady Aggie co-captain
also paced the team with 52 three point
field goals, 90 assists and 81 steals,
while pulling down 4.7 rpg. Rotz became
just the second Delaware Valley
women's basketball player to top the
1 ,000 point milestone, when she scored
a career-high 29 points in an 83 71 win
over Upsala.

Hill finished up her fine career as the
school's third all-time leading scorer
with 940 points after averaging 13.8 ppg
and 5.6 rpg. The 5foot-7 forward handed
out 51 assists and led the squad with 20

blocked shots. The DVC co-captain
ripped the nets for a career high 26
points in a 69-53 win at King's and
topped the Green and Gold in scoring
10 times.

A trio of first year players in the DVC
program added major contributions, as
freshmen Pamela Ball (Council
Rock/Richboro, PA) and Stephanie
Armstrong (Overbrook Philadelphia,
PA) teamed with sophomore Martina
Richardson (Martin Luther King^'Phila-
delphia, PA) to round out the Lady
Aggies starting lineup late in the year.

Ball started all twenty-seven contests
on the year, leading the team in
rebounding with a 10.4 rpg average.
The 5-foot- 11 center averaged 7.7 ppg,
scoring a career high 16 points in a
narrow 62-61 win over FDU Madison.
She led the squad in rebounding in 19
outings, including a 16 rebound effort
against Scranton.

Armstrong, a 5-foot 5 guard, averaged
4.0 ppg and handed out 75 assists in her
rookie season with the Lady Aggies.
She also pulled down 4.6 rpg and made
60 steals. Richardson, a transfer from
Philadelphia Community College, came
on down the stretch to finish with a 4.5
ppg scoring average, while yanking down
5.4 rpg, including a career high 19
rebounds in the win over King's.

Sophomore forward Stephanie Mason
(Bishop McDevitt/Philadelphia, PA) was
also part of the starting lineup through
the first sixteen games of the season,
before missing the next nine contests
with an ankle injury. She did average
10.3 ppg and pulled down 6.9 rpg, while
shooting a team-high 40.8''.. (71x174)
from the floor, before returning for spot
duty in the ECAC playoffs.

Junior guard Carla Marinette
(Easton/Easton, PA), along with
sophomore swingman Terry Ward
(Frankford/Phildelphia, PA) and
freshman forward Dawn Papciak
(Palisades/ Quakertown, PA) completed
the young Lady Aggie roster.

Marinetti scored at a 4.0 ppg clip,
while handing out 1 7 assists and making
19 steals. She scored a career-high 18
points in an 85-54 loss to Scranton.
Ward averaged 3.0 ppg and 3. 1 rpg and
scored a career-high 12 markers in an
80-71 win over Eastern, while Papciak
contributed 1.4 ppg and 1.8 rpg in spot
action for the Green and Gold.

1990 Football Preview

The Aggies of fourth-year head coach
Dick Bedesem (11 18-1) are looking to
rebound from a tough 3-7 season in
1989, which saw the Green and Gold
lose its final four games of the season.

Leading the Delaware Valley wish-
bone offense is senior quarterback Tim
Ford (Neshaminy/Levittown). The Aggie
co-captain was named a pre season All-
America by Co//ege Football Preview
throwing for 759 yards and seven
touchdowns, while completing 52 of his
134 pass attempts. On the ground,
Ford compiled 484 yards on 2 12 carries
and scored three touchdowns.
The top six running backs from a year
ago also return to bolster a rushing
attack that established a school record
for rushing yardage in a single-season
with 2,422 yards.

Heading the group are junior halfback
Bill Nolan (Roxbury/Flanders, NJ) and
sophomore halfback Darren Swift
(Frankford/Philadelphia). Nolan was the
squad's top rusher in 1989, carrying 71
times for 542 yards and four touch-
downs. His best day of the year came in
a win over Wilkes, when he carried six
times for 135 yards and scored three
touchdowns, including a school record
89-yards scoring jaunt. Swift led the
green and Gold in scoring last season,
putting the ball in the end zone nine
times, while also running for 349 yards
on 69 attempts.

A pair of juniors, Scott Hallet
(Bangor/Bangor) and Clayton Andrews
(Lehighton/Lehighton) will also see their
share of playing time after posting good
numbers in 1989. Hallet was the team's
third leading rusher with 401 yards on
75 carries, while scoring five touch-
downs. He also caught three passes for
40 yards and another score. Meanwhile,
Andrews accumulated 246 yards on 59
carries and was the squad's third leading
receiver with five catches for 86 yards
and a touchdown.

The fullback position will be held
down by the duo of junior Jack
Mulholland( Archbishop Wood/ Holland)
and sophomore Bryan Smith

(Easton/ Easton). Mulholland ground out
276 yards on 60 carries a year ago, while
Smith compiled 132 yards on 37 carries
in his rookie season.

Opening holes for the backs will be
an offensive line led by senior tackle Joe
Rozick (Pennsbury/Fairless Hills) and
junior center Steve Hykes
(Greencastle-Antrim/Greencastle).
Both Hykes and Rozick were starters
last season and will team with
sophomore guards Kurtis Kress (O.J.
Roberts/Spring City) and Joe Boyarski
(Hazelton/Hazelton) and big junior
tackle Steve Wagner (Souderton/-
Lansdale).

On defense, senior co-captain Tom
Kellett (Shelton/Mt. Wolf) will lead the
charge from his nose guard spot, after
making 77 tackles and recording two
sacks in 1989. Kellett will team with
another returning starter at the one
tackle spot in senior Travis Sherman
(New Oxford/ Abbottstown). Sherman
registered 51 stops and recovered a
fumble last season. Rounding out the
defensive front will be senior Ron Bane
(Cardinal Brennan/Frackville), who
moves from tight end to a defensive end
position, Jim Betts (Ocean City/-
Woodbine, NJ) and Bill Maynard
(Panther Valley/Lansford).

The starting linebackers are the
imposing looking duo of sophomore in
Mike Hirshmann (Archbishop Wood/-
Warrington) and Darren Bethke
(Neshaminy/Parkland). Hirshmann has
a great freshman season, recording a
team-high five sacks to go with 70
tackles. Bethke, a 6-foot-4, 230 lb.
transfer from East Stroudsburg, will
take over the other inside spot in his
first year with the Aggies.

The secondary returns just one
experienced starter in junior safety Dave
Paino (Neshaminy/Langhorne). Paino
had a big year in 1989, making 67
tackles, breaking up 19 passes, inter-
cepting one pass and causing six
fumbles. Rounding out the starting

There are 3 main sources of college
financial aid. Your school financial aid
officer will help you find what govern-
ment aid you are eligible for.
Government aid is now only 29"(. of
college financial aid.

Second, each college has special
endowments for its own students. These
are listed in the back of the college
catalog.

Third, all students are eligible for
many PRIVATE SOURCE AWARDS
not connected to a specific college and
independent from eligibility for gov(>rn

of different sources, and it is difficult to
know what you are eligible for.

Graduate School Information Available

Graduate School is an important
consideration for many students. One
of the student services offered by the
Counseling Department is to provide
information to aid in the selection of a
school and to dispense applications for
the various graduate school admission
tests.

In our Counseling Center, which is
located in Segal Hall, there are many
publications to help you select a school.
In addition, the Center houses a fairly
extensive library of graduate school
catalogues which are available for your
use.

The major examination used in
graduate admissions is the Graduate
Record Examination (GRE). The GRE
consists of an aptitude test and advanced
tests in twenty academic fields. The
tests are given at locations throughout
the country on specific dates throughout
the year. These dates and locations as
well as a wealth of information about
the tests are contained in the GRE
Information Bulletin which is available
in the Counseling Center.

This fall in conjunction with Barkan's
Testing and Tutoring, the Counseling

Center plans to run a GRE Prep course
prior to the December 8th test date.
The preparatory course is set up to run
on Monday afternoons from 4-6 pm,
beginning October 22nd. With a
scheduled break for Thanksgiving on
November 26th, the class will run on
consecutive Mondays through
December 3rd, just in time for excellent
results to be produced at the December
8th test.

There are many other admission tests
used for graduate schools adnnissions
such as:

MAT: Miller Analogies Test
VAT: Veterinary Aptitude Test
DAT: Dental Admission Test
GMAT: Graduate Management

Admission Test ,
MCAT: Medical College Admission Test

The registration forms and infor-
mation booklets for these tests, study
guides to help you prepare for the tests,
and several other aids for prospective
graduate school students can be found
in the Counseling Center.

If you are considering graduate school
please avail yourself of these services.

Have Legs, Will Travel

The DelVal men's and women's cross
country teams started off the season
with impressive performances at the
Lebanon Valley Invitational on Saturday,
September 8th. The women opened
early over the 5,000 meter course. Top
runner for DelVal was sophomore Marge
Harris with a time of 21:31, finishing 52
out of the 155 entrants. Freshman
runners Sue Anne Sladak and Jenn
Orlowsky finished with times of 23:07
and 27:48 respectively. Showing marked
improvement from one year ago, Christy
Holeman, sophomore, bested her
previous time by 2:52 with 1 24:29. The
women finished as a non-counting team
due to sickness, however the women's
team hopes to have another winning
season for DelVal's fall sport season.

The major surprise occurred when

DelVal's men's team finished 7th out of
24 teams, surprising in the fact that they
finished 20th out of 20 just a year ago.
Art Ruediger led the Aggies with a 7th
place finish out of 206 runners. Closely
following Ruediger was freshman
Charles Holiday with 15th place in 26:29.
Rounding out the scoring five were
Dave Klosinski (50th, 27:50), freshman
Pete Oesen (91 , 29: 16). Other finishers
were transfer Jeff Hamilton with a time
of 31:16, Pete O'Donnell with a 32:21, a
4:18 improvement over last year,
Sophomore Brett Wright with a 34:40.

Even though the season has started,
anyone is still welcome to come and join
as an exciting season begins to unfold.

formation.

Shepherd Under Stress

Over thirty years ago a speaker
addressed medical personnel at a con-
ference on the correlation between
stress and illness. To those in the
audience who had been trained on the
germ theory of disease, this novel
presentation seemed far fetched. In the
1980's and 1990's, however, we have
witnessed the reality and frequency of
that theory.

Stress in our lives is caused by any
factors. In a simple society the
mechanism that pumps adrenalin into
our blood may be called upon rather
infrequently. During the Civil War such
a physical change was called "soldier's
heart." Later it was called"shell shock."
Today we know it all too well as stress
and experience the effects of it in our
lives daily - - in homes, at work, or in the
"hammer lanes of highways." So this
"fight, or flight syndrome" lurks
potentially everywhere. If we don't learn
to fight or flee, we must learn to flow.

Stressors affect people variously. The
same wild beast that frightens the life
of one person may be a very
welcome sight to a hunter. The race car
driver has mastered manuevers far
better, perhaps, than someone who
drives a car a few blocks to get gas and
groceries.

Students coming to college ex-
perience adjustments, both positive and
negative, which do act as stressors on
the body's system. As of this writing,
some may have already fled; others
are fightins; still others will learn to
flow.

Psalm 23, used for the meditation
August 26th, showed how the shepherd
David learned to cope with stress. The
most stressful part of this psalm depicts
a shepherd descending through a dark
valley to get his sheep to water. In spite
of all that lurks about in the darkness
(called "the shadow of death", i.e.
darkest shadow), he fears no evil, for he
is reminded of the LORD's presence.
After going to the quiet waters, he

witness the benefits of hydrotherapy in
many ways and places.

Although we often induce stress upon
ourselves, we must learn helpful
techniques to cope with or surmount
stress. After promising to conduct a
service of worship for freshmen on
Sunday August 26th at 8:15 a.m., I
realized that I also had another service
to conduct a short time later that
morning. The stress of driving from one
to the other was evident. What is more,
as I planned the program the previous
Wednesday night at church, the tele-
phone rang. A ringing telephone in the
church dffice is a normal event. But it
was at night, I was alone, and when I
picked up the receiver and greeted the
caller, whoever it was hung up. I felt
uneasy, for I had been robbed in church
in June. Was this a prank? Was someone
staking me out? Should I alert the
police? It did cause me some stress. We
learn that the effects of stress are
cumulative over time. Just as we think

Campus Towing

without HP license or placard will be
issued a ticket and a towing warning.
Second instance will result in vehicle's

B. Firelanc: Any vehicle parked in a
firelane without prior permission from
Security will be issued a ticket and a
tow warning. Second instance will
result in vehicle being towed.

C. Multiple Violations: Any vehicle

for other than (A) and (B) will receive
a tow warning. The fourth and all
subsequent violations will
result in being towed.

All expenses for towing and storage

witness the benefits of hydrotherapy in
many ways and places.

Although wc often induce stress upon
ourselves, we must learn helpful
techniques to cope with or surmount
stress. After promising to conduct a
service of worship for freshmen on
Sunday August 26th at 8:15 a.m., I
realized that I also had another service
to conduct a short time later that
morning. The stress of driving from one
to the other was evident. What is more,
as I planned the program the previous
Wednesday night at church, the tele-
phone rang. A ringing telephone in the
church office is a normal event. But it
was at night, I was alone, and when I
picked up the receiver and greeted the
caller, whoever it was hung up. I felt
uneasy, for I had been robbed in church
in June. Was this a prank? Was someone
staking me out? Should I alert the
police? It did cause me some stress. We
learn that the effects of stress are
cumulative over time. Just as we think
we are iver one event, another may
strike. vVe must learn helpful techniques
to cope positively. Medically speaking,
exercise of some kind benefits us.
Spiritually speaking, taking time to
meditate, to reflect, proves valuable. As
you become a part of college, how will

No Hunting on
Campus

During hunting season we receive
many requests for permission to hunt in
the fields and woods of Delaware Valley
College. We have declined these
requests because our students are often
in the fields taking field samples, or our
workers are there maintaining the tields.
We will decline all requests for the
coming year.

We will post "NO HUNTING" signs
on the perimeter of our main campus.
Fox Farm, Farm 4 and Farm 7. We ask
your cooperation in this effort. If you
see people hunting on our property,
please notify Security at extension 2315.

Our goal is to provide a safe environ-
ment for study and work. Thank you for
your fine cooperation.

Aggies start season

0-1 with Tough Loss

to Wagner

The Aggies, 01, had a tough time
in their first game of the new decade,
as they saw Wagner, a nationally
ranked team in the Division III polls,
rack up 431 yards total offense, while
holding the Green and Gold's offen-
sive output to just 160 yards.

"Wagner just beat us in every
aspect of the ballgame," said DelVal
fourth-year head coach Dick
Bedesem(ll-19-1). "Our kids battled
them and did what they could but
they just overpowered us. They are a
very good football team.

"The key for our squad is that we
have to regroup and relay to the kids
that we played against one of the
best Division III schools in the
country. We will not see anyone any
better than Wagner this season."

The brightest spot of the afternoon
for Delaware Valley was when junior
halfback Scott Hallet (Bangor/-
Bangor, PA) returned the Aggies
first kickoff of the season 92 yards for
a touchdown, after a Wagner score,
to tie the game at 7-7. For the game,
Hallet returned three kickoffs for 132
yards, including his touchdown
scamper.

Offensively, the Green and Gold's
vaunted wishbone running attack
was held to 129 yards on 43 carries
for the afternoon. Junior fullback
Jack Mulholland (Archbishop
Wood/Holland, PA) led the way with
a team-high 34 yards on 8 carries and
scored the lone offensive touchdown
for the Aggies with a 6-yard run early
in the fourth quarter.

Senior quarterback Tim Ford
(Neshaminy/Levittown, PA) rushed
for 20 yards on 12 carries, while
completing four of eight passes for 3 1
yards, including three to senior split
end Todd Nichols (Summit/Summit,
NJ).

• The purpose of the contest is to
encourage undergraduate and
graduate students majoring in
accounting at Pennsylvania colleges
and universities to address, in writing,
those issues which affect the
accounting profession.

• Awards of $1000, $600 and $400,
respectively, are awarded for the
three best manuscripts selected. The
best manuscript will be published in
the Penns\;lvama CPA Journa/ with
other articles on the chosen theme.

• Matching grants will be awarded to
accounting societies which submit
the winning manuscripts on behalf of
individual students.

• Topic — "Leveraged Buy Outs and
Debt Restructuring"

• Throughout the 1980s, corporate
mergers and acquistitions were ex-
tremely popular for various pro-
ductive and egqcentric reasons.
Often complex and innovative
financing arrangements were utilized;
usually involving large amounts of
debt being substituted for equity. In
many areas, the new capital structure
would have 80% to 95% debt.
Regardless of whether this "high
leverage" proves to be a good or bad
idea, the accounting profession is
faced with complex reporting and
financial advising problems.

• Your manuscript should discuss a
specific aspect of leveraged buy outs
and debt restructuring. Possible
topics might include:

• Are present disclosure require-
rr^ents sufficier)t to deal with the
r^ew innovative financial instru-
ments?

• Explain Luhy In a troubled debt
situation, a creditor might grant
concessions to a debtor. Explain
the t\>pe of concessions that might
be offered.

• Describe the different forms of
leveraged bu\;-outs and the unique
risks of each.

• Discuss the impact of "fatal"
errors make in financial pro-
jections in some of the "failed"
leveraged bu\^-outs.

• A 1,500 2,000 word manuscript is
required, as well as a 50-75 word
abstract. Both are to be typed
double-spaced, 55 characters across.

• Manuscripts are evaluated for
content, method of presentation and
writing style. The topic selected and
the exposition of the author's thesis
should be tailored to the word limits.

• Manuscripts must include an Author
Information Sheet with the student's
name, permanent address, college
or university and accounting pro-
fessor's name. If the manuscript is
submitted by an accounting society,
please include the faculty advisor's
signature. Individual student sub-
missions are welcome.

• Manuscripts must be submitted by
January 31, 1991. For more infor-
mation and an Author Information
Sheet, contact the Pennsylvania

Accountants, 1608 Walnut Street,

Library Offers New
Service

The Library is now a subscriber to
the CD-Rom product, ACADEMIC
INDEX. Located in the Periodicals
Room, this index covers a wide variety
of journals appropriate to the college
curricula. The journals which the Library
owns are flagged so that the user can
tell immediately whether the citation is
in the Library. In addition a printer is
attached to the system to print out
citations.

For a 3 month period, the Library is
also sampling two other CD-ROM disks.
Biological and Agricultural Index and
Business Periodicals Index. Each data-
base includes 8 years indexing.

We invite all college personnel and
students to familiarize themselves with
these materials.

FIELD HOCKEY

DelVal's field hockey team has a new
head coach, Linda Hiesher who is from
Philadelphia. She is a graduate of
Tennessee Tech, and has had five years
coaching experience at Kings Christian
school. Coach Hiesher "likes DelVal
and the challenge that the job brings".
Although the girls have lost their first
two games they are playing much better
than in previous years. Coach Hiesher
feels that "the standard of taking one
game at a time will evenutally pay of.
We have the quality people to win, it is
just a matter of getting a winning attitude
back".

The team is comprised of seven
upperclassmen and six freshmen. The
team has plenty of room for more
players. If anyone is interested in playing
this season or next fall please contact
coach Hiesher at ext. 2358 or at the
basement of Segal Hall.

President Rorer Resigns

On Saturday, September 22, the Board
of Trustees, during an information
session, received several options for
strengthening the College's overall
financial position. These options pre
sented by President Rorer, were based
upon extensive planning reviews over
the past several months, and involved
whether the college should remain as a
private institution or affiliate with the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

During this meeting, President Rorer
strongly recommended affiliation as one
way to help the college progress. No
decision or vote was reached by the

DVC's

DVC's annual homecoming parade
will begin at Union and Broad Street,
Doylestown, at 9:30 am on Saturday,
October 6.

This year's parade festivities revolve
around the theme "20th Century
Showcase" with each college club
representing a different decade in the
20th century. In addition, each club will
have its nominee for homecoming queen
represented in the parade. Later, at
halftime during the football game, a
homecoming queen will be announced.

Also included in this year's parade,
the Antique Buick Club will be displaying
seven cars model years 1939-1965.
George West, Dean of the business
school will be driving his 1941 black
Buick special sedan. West purchased
his antique car in 1965 from a South
Philadelphia owner. The car had been
originally sold in Niew Hampshire in
1941 and had been driven all over the
US.

Music for the parade will be provided
by the Gerryville Hobo Band. The
Central Bucks Ambulance Corp and
both the Chalfont and Doylestown fire
companies will also participate.

The grand marshall for this year's
parade will be Charlea Genople, the
first woman to graduate from DelVal.

Board. However, many trustees felt
that in order to support the history and
culture of the college, it was best to
remain independent.

President Rorer tendered his
resignation, on September 24, but
remains supportive to DelVal and its
students. To help ease the transition, a
search committee has been formed to
make recommendations for an interim
president, while a second search
committee is in the process of gathering
recommendations for a permanent
replacement.

Parade

Genople, a biology major, graduated in
1969.

State Representatives David Heckler
and James Greenwood will be parti-
cipating in the parade.

The parade route ends at CB West
High School and will begin a weekend of
activities for the alumni and students.
Some of which will be:
Baker Boy# - This unique Barbershop
Quartet will be performing at 11:00 am
in the Joshua Feldstein Courtyard.
Football - DVC Aggies take on
Susquehanna University at 1:30 pm in

halftime.

The majority of Americans use acting
in some form during their lifetimes.

For some it's making a living on the
stage or television or in motion pictures.

For others it's in community theater.

Still others use acting giving speeches
or teaching. ..wherever they must
"appear" in front of groups.

Others improvise i.e. listening... then
reacting - in their jobs or families.

Almost everyone "acts" a little in
everyday life. ..in ordinary commun-
icating.

The finest actors don't "pretend" or
"make things up." They search for and
discover truth - in themselves and
society. Then they present it in a
watchabte, understandable and in-
teresting way. In other words they
COMMUNICATE.

Annual Bucks County Honey Show Set

The Annual Bucks County Honey
Show will be held on Thursday,
October 1 1 , 1990. It will be held in the
lobby of Mandell Science Building,
and the judging of the show will begin
at 7:00 p.m. Any Bucks County
beekeeper may enter apiary products
in the show, and membership in the
Bucks County Beekeepers
Association is not necessary. Show
categories this year are: light, amber,
and dark honey, comb honey, and a
minimum of one pound of beeswax.
All entries will be judged based on
international standards, and all Bucks
County beekeepers are strongly
urged to enter their apiary products
in the show.

The entries will be judged by Dr.
Bob Berthold, Delaware Valley

College's beekeeping specialist, and
he will be assisted by members of the
College's Apiary (beekeeping)
Society. Ribbons will be awarded to
the first three highest scorers in each
judging category, and an appro-
priately engraved bowl or tray will be
awarded to the beekeeper scoring
the most points in the show. The
awards are being sponsored by the
Delaware Valley College Apiary
Society.

At the same time, the entries from
Montgomery County Beekeepers will
also be judged, with their prizes
being awarded at their Annual
banquet later in the fall. Montgomery
County beekeepers should see their
monthly newsletter for directions.

Graduate School???

By Dr. Robert Berthold, Jr.

During one of our Annual Career
Days, I had the opportunity of
spending quite a bit of time with Dr.
Roger Locandro, a Cook College
(Agricultural branch of Rutgers
University) dean. During this time,
we spoke with a number of our
students. I was suprised to find how
many of them had no idea as to how
to finance a graduate education.

In the case of Liberal Arts majors
-including those majoring in business
and related fields - most students
have to finance their own graduate
educations. It is true, however, that
many business graduates receive
financial assistance from employers
to help finance much or all of their
graduate educations.

Financing a graduate education is
frequently a different matter for those
students majoring in Agriculture and
in many of the sciences. Many
graduate school departments offer
research assistantships and/or
teaching assistantships to
academically qualified students, with
often a "B" average being enough to
qualify. Presently, graduate
assistance is averaging about
$10,000.00 per year plus tuition being
waived. All assistance is often tax
exempt.

Many of the students who Dr.
Locandro and I Initially spoke with,
said that they couldn't afford to go on
to graduate school after the high
costs involved with their under-
graduate education. However,
opportunities for financing graduate
education do exist. If you are
interested and you have the academic
credentials, you really should con-
sider graduate school.

If you think that you might be
interested in pursuing a graduate
degree program, talk it over with
your advisor, stop in at our Placement
Office in Segal Hall, or if you like,
make an appointment and come and
discuss it with me. (Mandell 203,
Extension 2285 or 2284.)

DR MERTZ SAYS "WE CAN WORK TOGETHER

TO REMAIN INDEPENDENT AND MAINTAIN THE

QUALITY OF OUR EDUCATION..."

independent.

President Rorer, who favored the
option of seeking an affiliation with
Pennsylvania's State System of Higher
Education, tendered his resignation on
Monday, September 24. According to
Dr. Mertz, "When a chief executive
officer loses his main strategy, it's
reasonable for him to seek opportunity
elsewhere." President Rorer's resig-
nation was effective on Friday, October
5.

Dr. Mertz explained that he and
Russell Schuiz, Vice President of
Operations, are working very closely
with the Board of Trustees to continue
the day-to day operations of the College.
Meanwhile, the Board has appointed
two search committees who are pre-
sently working, respectively, on
recommendations for an interim
president and a permanent replacement.
"Hopefully we will have a new president
by next summer," said Dr. Mertz. This
search committee consists of several
members of the Board of Trustees, two
faculty members. Dr. Hill and Dr.
Barbara Muse, and Student Govern-
ment President Ken Peterson.

In a recent interview with Dr. John
Mertz, Provost, Dr. Mertz explained
the various options that had been
considered by the College's Board of
Trustees in evaluating DelVal's fiscal
options.

Dr. 'Mertz explained that last spring,
the Board had hired an auditing firm to
analyze the College's current needs.
Based upon these findings, the Board of
Trustees told the president to appoint
several committees to investigate the
options available to the College. One
committee investigated the operations
of the College and its capabilities.
Another committee researched the
environment in which the college works.
The President himself investigated
several possibilities involving affiliations
with other institutions.

These various committees submitted
their proposals and both an affiliation
opportunity and a plan for continued
independence were presented to the
Board on Saturday, September 22, at
an informal meeting. It was at this time,
during discussion, that a majority of
Board members expressed their belief
that it was best for the school to remain

Henry Schmieder Aboretum

Delaware Valley College's campus-
wide Henry Schmieder Arboretum
serves as a regional center for
horticultural study, ecological landscape
design and community outreach. To

this end, the arboretum is working
closely with the Central Bucks Chamber

of Commerce and community civic and
gardening groups in the development of

a county wide beautification program
called "Bucks Beautiful". The arboretum
is serving as a catalyst and resource
center for the program. Doug Kane and

John Martin are serving on a newly
formed executive committee which will

help shape the future of Bucks Beautiful.
As Bucks County's only major
arboretum, it is only natural that DVC's
Henry Schmieder Arboretum will play a
major role in this ambitious program.
Over $25,000 has already been raised
from area business leaders to launch
Bucks Beautiful. It is hoped that Bucks
Beautiful will evolve into a true part-
nership of business, government, civic
groups, the community and educational
institutions. It is hoped that this
partnership will result in the creation of
a means to support and reward com-
munity beautification from the home-
owner to corporations.

DVC and FTD

For 52 years FTD (Florists Transword
Delivery Association) District 3-B has
been presenting the Philadelphia Design
School and Trade Fair. Today it has
become one of the largest and most
attended professional florist events of
its kind in the mid-Atlantic region. This
year's program entitled "Christmas:
Past, Present and Future" was one of
the most successful to date. Our DVC
students have been an integral part of
this event for years helping to make
Past, Present and hopefully Future
events even richer and more rewarding.

DVC, its students and faculty, were
everywhere at this year's School and
Fair. Eight students: Diane Owen
Garber, Linda Schempp, Jennifer
Blisard, Patricia Buckman, Joanna
McKenna, Michele Parks, Ann Kline
and Angela Thigpen assisted the FTD
design school panel for the 3 days of the
event. It was great to hear the name
DVC repeated over and over to the
thousands of attendees by the design
school's commentator. Nine students
enrolled in our Advanced Floral Design
course became competitors in the
event's Christmas design contest. These
students included: Patricia Buckman,
Jeanette Kidd, Ann Kline, Janet Maurer,
Angela Maziaka, Jason Minoff, William
Myers, Marie Sabath, Tracey Tucker.

One of the entries, a Decorative
Christmas Door won a first place cash
award for the student designers. This
was a significant achievement con-
sidering that our students were
competing with dozens of professional
florists and established florist shops.
Our student designers were assisted on
to their win by Steven Dalrymple, AIFD,
class of 1981, who has joined the OH
and ED faculty as an adjunct instructor.

If this wasn't enough, two of our
students, Linda Schempp and Daniel
Bortz, won $ 1 ,000.00 FTD scholarships
at the show — the largest amount
awarded to any one school.

Mr. Edward O'Brien,
Dr. Richard Ziemer

Here we go again. Students are
complaining about everything. And
again, the students are not doing
anything about it. It seems, to be a good
student at DelVal, all one needs to be is
a good complainer. For every three or
four hundred students at DelVal, one,
or maybe two will actually try to figure
out what the cause of their complaint is.
And maybe they will even go so far as to
try to change things (and if they do,
they'll most likely succeed).

What I'm trying to say here is that the
level of student participation in DelVal
is pathetic. There is a group of no more
than one-hundred students on this
campus that really care about the
college, and work their butts off to try to
make it better for everyone. I bet that if
someone wrote down the names of the
President and Vice President of every
club on campus, everyone on Student
Government, Inter Club Council, and
Student Activities Committee, & R.A.'s
the same names would appear over and
over and over.

Complaining at the lunch table among
friends just doesn't cut it. If students
would just get more involved in the
college, learn more about the way things
operate, and not take rumors at face
value, this place would be much more
enjoyable for everyone. One bright spot
is that communication between the
administration and the student body
should improve dramatically. The Public
Relations department, under the new
direction of Linda Koch, will drastically
help to clear up the communications
problem.

But again, it all comes down to how
much the student body cares about
their college. A new administration will
not be able to sovle the problem of low
school spirit and the strong lack of
student participation. I strongly feel
that the students hold the key to these
two problems, and if I was asked what
the college needs most right now, the
answer would be strong school spirit
and student participation.

THETA CHI SIGMA — RUSH

It is that time of year again when the
Theta Chi Sigma Brothers are looking
for new people to get involved in their
organization. This time of recruitment
is called RUSH. Rush, will last all
semester with scheduled events spread
throughout. If anyone is interested or
would like more information call Lester
Struble - Rush Chairman at 340-1098.

THETA CHI SIGMA is Delaware
Valley's largest active fraternity. The
brotherhood curently consists of 27
active brothers. The men that make-up
Theta Chi Sigma are some of Delaware
Valley's leading students. The organ-
izaiton includes 3 Resident Assistants, 1
Student Government Officer, 1 Class
President, 1 Class Treasurer, 2 President
Diplomate, 1 Peer Counseler, 4 Football
Players, 2 Soccer Players, 2 Track, 2
Baseball Players, 2 Golfers, 6 Lacrosse
players and many other club
representatives.

THETA CHI SIGMA has been at
Delaware Valey College since the spring
of 1988, at which time the 11 founding
fathers started this organization. The
fraternity has grown steadily since that
time and is continuing to grow. Theta
Chi Sigma is a local fraternity which is
constantly awaiting the opportunity to

become national. The founding fathers
were assisted by the national fraternity
Theta Chi in the establishment of a
fraternity at DelVal.

Theta Chi Sigma is one of the most
active organizations on campus. The
brothers have been sponsoring events
at almost all campus activities. A
homecoming pig roast, A-Day pizza
and dunking booths, Pride-N-Polish day
projects, sponsoring dances in the pub,
and community car washes. The
fraternity also has participated in many
charity events and community projects.
The men raised $1,000.00 for the
American Cancer Society through a
organized bowling tournament. The
fraternity has also collected food for the
needy at Thanksgiving and donated
blood at most blood drives.

Theta Chi Sigma not only promotes
involvement in school and community
events but in friendship and brother-
hood. The brotherhood works together
in numerous ways; Tutoring and study
sessions, athletics, peer counseling and
enjoying each other's friendship.

Theta Chi Sigma is a college fraternity
which is striving to become the
strongest, active, and beneficial organ-
ization to the campus and community.

New Era of

In what may be the best thing to
happen within the administration in the
past few years, Linda Koch has been
appointed the new Public Relations
director at Delaware Valley College.

Mrs. Koch, who has more then 15
years experience in public relations,
says that the office "..will most definitely
take a more visible approach to public
relations because I feel we need it here
at the college. We need for the student
and for the faculty and administration
to have a better form of communication
so that everybody knows what's
happening."

. Along those lines, Mrs. Koch says
that she would like to see the P.R. office
take a more active role in the RAM-
PAGES. She says that the school paper
is "an important communication vehicle

for all the students." Mrs. Koch says
that students really need to get more
involved in the RAMPAGES. She feels
as if it should be more of a social event
while maintaining its responsibility.

Mrs. Koch is very determined about
the need for better commmunication at
Delaware Valley College. She says
"There should be a more effective
dialogue between the administration
and the student body. Only through
effective dialogue can we find if we are
meeting each others needs."

"By having high visibility in this office,"
Mrs. Koch hopes, "maybe the students
can convey some of their problems to
me or through the school newspaper."
However visible the P.R. office becomes,
it will undoubtedly be a great benefit for
the students, faculty, and administration
alike.

Field Hockey

During the Thursday, September 27th
game against Cabrini, Suzette Brought
scored the first goal in the first period
on a feed from Melody Seesaman. Then
Brought assisted on an Amy Follweiler
goal to make it 2-0 in the 2nd period.
Trouble struck during the last 7 minutes
of the game when a defensive player
was injured and DelVal was forced to
finish the game with only 10 players.
Cabrini's Michelle Ballinghoff scored
then again with less than 1: 15 to play to
force overtime. Ballinghoff struck again
with less then one minute to play in
overtime to give Cabrini a 3-2 victory.

Two days later DelVal was still forced
to play with only 10 players due to
injuries. However, this time the girls
would not be defeated. Marlene Burns
and Melody Seesaman scored during
the 2nd period to give DelVal a 2-0
victory. Lisa Monterio had 8 saves
during the game. DelVal's Hockey team

Herman Silverman Appointed Acting

of Delaware Valley College

The Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees of Delaware Valley
College, has announced the appoint-
ment of Herman Silverman as acting
president of the college.

Silverman, founder of Sylvan Pools,
Doylestown, PA, has been a member of
the College's Board of Trustees for six
years. He is also an alumnus of the
College. He will serve as acting pre
sident, filling the position vacated by the
September 24 resignation of William H.
Rorer III.

In addition to being a member of the
College's Board, Silverman has been an
active member of the business
community, serving on the Board of the
Bank and Trust Company of Old York

Road, as President of the Board of the
James A. Michener Arts Center, and
on the Boards of the Central Bucks
Chamber of Commerce, and the

College president until a permanent
replacement is appointed by the Board.
A committee is now in the process of
conducting a nationwide search for a
permanent replacement.

RAM PAGES to Offer New Write-in Columns

The RAM PAGES will be starting two
new write-in columns with the next
issue.

The first, Dear Aggie, will give
students the chance to ask personal
questions without actually having to see
someone face to face. Students can
write in with their question about
roommate problems, personal pro-
blems, advice, etc. Responses to the
Dear Aggie column will be answered
by MR. FULCOLY. All letters must be
signed, although names will be withheld
upon request. Remember these letters
will be held in the STRICTEST CON
FIDENCE. Send to RAM PAGES BOX
917.

The second new column gives students
the chance to write in with questions
about anything dealing with Delaware
Valley College. Questions could be
about college policies, services offered
by the college, who to talk to about
something, etc. We will also accept
questions about Pennsylvania, the
country, the environment, etc. What-
ever your question may be, write to us.
As with the Dear Aggie column, it is
the policy of the RAM PAGES that you
must sign your letter, but the name will
be withheld upon request. The answers
to these questions will be researched by
the RAM PAGES staff. Send to RAM
PAGES BOX 9177.

The objective is to compile the most
profitable stock portfolio by the end of
the four-month competition. Students
can draw information from any source
available to them - newspapers, business
journals, their professors or a "hot tip "
By keeping abreast of the news, the
students learn about various industries
and business trends in America.

This year's competition, with more
than $200,000 in cash and merchandise
prizes, is expected to outdraw the
second AT&T Collegiate Investment
Challenge, which last fall attracted
15,000 student participants representing
every state.

Students can call toll-free 1-800-545-
1990 to register and receive competition
rules and materials needed to parti-
cipate. The registration fee is $49.95 for
college students. Deadline for registering
is October 27. The AT&T Collegiate
Investment Challenge begins Nov. 1.

The top 10 collegiate finishers will
receive cash scholarship awards. Each
winner and his or her guest also will be
flown to the Bahamas for a week's
vacation.

Wall Street Games, Inc., was created
three years ago by Tim DeMello, 31, a
former stockbroker from Boston, who
realized there was no realistic way for
people to go through the trial-and-error
phase of learning the stock market in a
way that simulates the financial risks
involved.

DeMello's creation, popular in homes
and offices as well as on college
campuses, is a financial success story.
But DeMello is equally proud of the
game's educational value and points
out that college professors have been
using the AT&T Collegiate Investment
Challenge as a classroom tool.

Dear Editors

I would like to take this opportunity
to thank everyone who helped make
Homecoming 1990 a success. 1 would
especially like to thank Adam Kaplan
for his efforts as Co-Chairman. Without
his help and dedication this event
wouldn't have been what it was. I would
also like to offer special thanks to Linda
Schempp. Although Linda is not a
member of ICC she devoted quite a bit
of her time to help with homecoming.
Other thank yous go out to: Jeff Brown,
Craig Higgs, Brendon Caywood, Ken
Peterson, David Young, Shaun Foard,
and Mr. Schulz. Besides these people
there are two other groups of people
which contributed extensively to this
event: the Cheerleader^ and the Clubs,
The DVC Cheerleaders put in many
hours working on Homecoming, and
they deserve thanks for both their time
and their ideas. Finally, I would like to
thank all the clubs that participated in
this event. You really showed your
pride and spirit.

Thank-You!!!!!

Jim Wabals,

Homecoming Co-Chairman

Vending Machines

For the convenience of the College,
Have A Vend installed new electronic
vending machines throughout the
campus last year. To justify the expense
of the machines and the cost to maintain
fresh inventory, each machine must do
a minimum dollar volume. The buildings
with low volume are Allman, Mandell,
Cooke, Ulman, and the Greenhouse.
Have A Vend will wait until December
to see if volume increases this year. We
will only be able to keep machines
where the volume justifies the expense.

**Corrcction**

The October 4th edition of the
Rampages ran an article "Honey
Extraction" that stated to get to the Bee
House to follow the trail through the
woods behind Berkowitz Hall. The
Security Department brought to our
attention that crossing the tracks at any
point, but especially behind Berkowitz,
is dangerous. Please use the underpass
when you need to get to one of the
farms.

DVC-1 Replys

Thank you for your call, the message
on the DVC 1 answering machine
will be changed.

Thank you for call about the tardiness
of the final exam schedule. The
Registers Office will try to have the
schedule out by November 10 so
those of you who need to, can make
your traveling arrangements.
Thank you for your call informing us
that the TV cable was out in Wilson.
It has since been replaced.
Thank you for alerting us to the fact
that it is too hot in Berkowitz. Our
plant engineer has since contracted
with a local heating company who
will very soon install zone heating
controls to make it more comfortable.
There will now be pickles at the salad
bar every day. Thank you for your
call.

In response to your call about late
night co-ed study space, the ground
floor of Segal Hall is always open for
this purpose. Thank you for your
call.

Thank you for you call about the
striped hot water faucet and broken
screen (rm 24) in Wilson. They were
fixed the same day.
Thank you for the call alerting us to
the lack of hot water in Goldman.
The circuit breaker was reset and
hot water was available later that
day.

Thank you for alerting us to the bug
problem in Room 207 (Goldman?)
The exterminator was called.
Thanks for all of your supportive
calls about homecoming weekend.
Your enthusiam is appreciated.
Sorry that the main gate is open once
again, but there have been many
demands that it be opened during
daylight hours. We'll give it a try.

Administration Reps
Visit Dorms

Last week, several representatives
from the administration visited campus
dorm lounges to speak with the students.
The purpose of these informal visits
was to inform the students of exactly
what happened with the resignation of
President Rorer a few weeks ago. They
hosted questions on a wide range of
topics, a few of which included selection
of the permanent president, admission
policies, the direction the college is
heading, etc. All students are en-
couraged to send reactions to these
visits to RAM PAGES BOX 917. For a
response to be printed, you must sign
the response, although the name will be
witheld upon request.

Talking About Fitness

by Judy Peltz

Today's fitness topic is the neglected
practice of stretching. This is the part of
a fitness program that most people
conveniently skip because it takes time
and they want to get to the meat of their
workout, because it's boring, because
they just don't see the importance of
stretching, and stretching feels awkward
to them anyway. If you're guilty of
skipping the warm-up/stretching portion
of your workout you'd better read this
article.

"Well, why should I stretch?" you
ask. Take a look at this list:

• To maintain and improve flexibility

• To avoid injury

• To adequately warm up and prepare
the muscles for workout so you are
able to perform or lift at your
maximum effort

• To reduce soreness and speed
recovery

• To increase your body awareness

• To aid you in muscular development

• To increase range of motion which
increases your ability to do work and
leads to greater strength gains

• To allow for more fluid and
coordinated motion in normal every-
day life as well as your sport

If you haven't been taking time to
warm-up and stretch out before working
out you had better get into a routine.

Here's How:

1 Warm-up 5 10 min. with some form
of light aerobic work: jumping rope,
jogging, cycling, etc. This warms the
muscle, elevates your heart rate,
increases circulation and prepares
your body for what's to come.

2 After warming-up it's time to begin
stretching, develop a routine that
encompasses all major muscle
groups. Find a stretching movement
for each muscle group.

3 Never force a stretch or bounce
while holding a stretch. Move into a
comfortable position where you begin
to feel a slight tension and hold for
10-30 sec. Release and repeat the
stretch.

4 Breathe naturally.

5 Try to do your stretching in a relaxing
environment.

6 Become aware of your body and it's
posture while going through your
routine. Be careful of your back
positioning — don't slouch. Establish
what stretches involve which muscles

— learn your anatomy. Becoming
familiar with how your body moves
and what muscle groups are most
important to your sport.

7 Perform only safe stretches. Some
no-no stretches include:

— Full neck rotations/circles

— straight leg seated toe touch

— Yoga plow

— Hurdler stretch with the knee
cocked back

Most of these exercises are unsafe
because they place your joints in
precarious positions — opt for safer
alternatives.

8 In addition to your warm-up
stretching don't forget to stretch at
the end of your workouts. Stretching
in between won't hurt either,
especially if you're lifting heavy
weight.

Stay tuned for a stretching routine
that you can follow in the next issue of
Ram Pages. In the meantime, an
excellent diagrammed reference on
stretching is Stretching by Bob
Anderson. Shelter Publications, Bolinas,
California, 1980. Take care and see you
next issue.

Homecoming
Parade '90

The 1990 Homecoming Parade was
one of the best in recent memory. A
variety of club floats, antique cars, fire
engines, and a marching band took part
in the parade. Next year we really hope
to have more students involved with the
parade, both in planning and support
on Saturday morning.

COLLEGIATE INVESTMENT.

Continued from page 1

"The AT&T Collegiate Investment
Challenge brings the world of financial
markets to students, and the knowledge
they gain can be valuable to them after
graduation as they begin careers,"
DeMello said.

AT&T's college market manager,
David Pugliese, also lists the educational
aspect as a reason AT&T is title sponsor
of the AT&T Collegiate Investment
Challenge for the third year.

"College students, along with being
good AT&T long distance customers,
are the decision makers of tomorrow,"
Pugliese said. "We're pleased these
students will associate AT&T with an
experience from their college lives that
is educational and enjoyable."

The third annual AT&T Collegiate
Investment Challenge begins when the
stock market opens for trading on the
morning of Nov. 1. Starting with a
fictional $500,000 brokerage account
and an official stock guide, students will
buy and sell shares of stock via toll free
AT&T 800 Service calls to "brokers" at
Wall Street Games.

The trading simulates the real world
because Wall Street Games uses a
computerized stock quotation network
that receives up to-the-minute prices
via satellite. All trading is done during
actual stock market hours.

The competition ends when the stock
market closes at 4 p.m. Eastern time
Feb. 28.

An instruction booklet for players
explains such strategies as "buying on
margin" and "selling short." Each month,
the college students will receive personal
account statements. Wall Street Games
also ranks students by campus and by
state, so students can check how we!!
they're doing against other players each
month. The top 250 students nationally
each month will receive prizes from
Champion USA.

Last year's top finisher, Doris Anne
Wart, increased her stock portfolio
from $500,000 to a closing account
value of $1,248,559. Wart graduated
from Lousiana State University in
Shreveport last spring, the $25,000 she
won helped pay her costs for law school
at Rutgers University.

Of last year's 15,000 collegiate
participants, 2 became "millionaires,"
and only 4 went broke.

Colleges with at least 50 students
participating are also ranked against
each other. The 10 colleges with the
highest average student protfolios will
receive plaques. Tennessee State
University won top honors in the second
AT&T Collegiate Investment Challenge.

College professors also can play the
AT&T Collegiate Investment Challenge
in a separate category. The registration
fee for professors is $39.95. Last year's
top professor was Louis Miller of
Tennessee State University. This year's
top professor will win a trip for two to
the Bahamas.

Other sponsors of the third annual
AT&T Collegiate Investment Challenge
are USA Today, the Bahamas Ministry
of Tourism and Champion USA.

Ram Pages to Stop the Presses

This issue of the Ram Pages is the
final issue of this semester. Due to
changes in advisors and staff, and the
desire to make the newspaper more
enjoyable and timely reading, our staff
has elected to stop printing the paper
for the remainder of the semester and
to dedicate our free time to finding
solutions to the problems now facing
the Ram Pages.

As with any other club on campus,
the Ram Pages needs the support of the
faculty, administration, and students in
order to become an integral part of the
campus community. Therefore we
would like, first of all, your suggestions
on what you would like to see in the
school paper, how often you would like
it to be published (weekly, monthly,
etc.), and what day of the week you
would like it to come out on, so that we
can serve you better, and second we
would like your understanding as to

why we stopped printing the paper this
semester and your support of our
restructuring plans.

The Ram Pages will be returning in
January with an all new layout, more
pages, special columns, lots of pictures
and a new circulation schedule. Among
the topics to be featured are, sports,
club news. Dear Aggie, Talking about
Fitness, and the student of the month.
Also the Ram Pages will be printed on
recyclable newsprint so that environ-
mentally concerned students can recycle
their Ram Pages.

If you have any ideas or suggestions
that will aid in the future of the Ram
Pages, please drop a note in Box 917
and remember to look for the all new
Ram Pages to be printed in January.
Enjoy the rest of the semester, see you
in the spring

Sincerely,

The Ram Pages Staff

Student Forum

DVC's acting President Herman
Silverman held a meeting with students
on October 17 at 11:20 a.m. in the
James Work Gym. President Silverman
used this meeting to introduce himself
to the students and to give them some

background about himself. He also

outlined his plans for the college while
he is in office and tried to answer any

questions the students had. Another
meeting is planned for next month.

Dean Craig Hill
Arrested???

Many of us are familiar with that old
adage, "Don't believe anything you hear
and half of what you see". This is
particularly true of an event that
happened two weeks ago involving our
Dean of Academic Affairs, Craig Hill.

iYes, it is true that while Dean Hill was
sitting and having lunch in our Pub that
two of Doylestown's finest, accompanied
by DelVal security arrested, handcirffad,
and carted away our Dean in a police
car. Your eyes were not deceiving you!!

However, what most of us did not
know, including Craig Hill, was that this
was part of a planned fundraising event,
sponsored by the March of Dimes caUed
the "Jail and Bail Program".

This program, which is part of an
annual fundraising event for the well-
known charity, involves the arrest of a
community member who is then placed
in a special holding cell with pledge
cards, a pencil and a telephone. The
arrested individual, in this case Dean
Hill, then calls all friends and associates
and asks them to post money for bail.
All money raised is given as a donation
to the March of Dimes.

Dr. Hill was able to raise over $400. in
his two hours of incarceration, and then
was released and returned to our college
campus.

According to Dr. Hill, this was a real
experience. It was not until the charges
against him were made, that he realized
that he was this year's victim. However,
it was not a total surprise to him, since
he was instrumental in picking last
year's prisoner. I guess as another old
adage says, "The chickens come home
to roost".

Join a group in which you can make
an immediate difference and derive
instant satisfaction: JOIN DVC's Band
or Chorale.

A Letter of Thanks

I would like to say thanks to the class
of 1991 for nominating me for Home
coming Queen. It was an honor for me
to represent all of you. On Monday
after homecoming weekend, I received
a dozen of champagne roses from our
class and 1 would like to thank everyone
for them. A special thanks to all of my
friends because without all of you it
would not have been meaningful.

Thanks Roomdogs

In Search Of...

There is an outspoken student at
DelVal, whom I'll refer to as "Gutless",
that SEEMS to care about the institution,
and SEEMS to want to try to help it
along. Unfortunately, Gutless has a
mixed up sense of reality. When Gutless
sees something that is not to his or her
liking, little five sentence-computer
printed schpeles appear taped up in
dorm bathrooms and bulletin boards
throughout campus. Whatever the
intent of these message, they're not
working very well.

Gutless, why don't you sign your
name to these "announcements'? Are
you afraid of something? Someone
finding out who you are and wondering
what kind of a fool does things this way?
It is not like your name in unknown
throughout the administration and board
of trustees. Are you still remembering
your ill-conceived and pathetically

In Memory off
Christopher Truskey

Chris Truskey enrolled here at
Delaware Valley College this fall as a
freshman. His major was Biology,
he was a member of the Cross Country
Team,and he planned to wrestle. Due to
personal reasons, he withdrew from
DVC shortly after arriving. He was
killed when the car he was driving was
broadsided by a truck. If he hadn't
found it necessary to leave DelVal
College, he would probably be alive
today.

planned "protest" of not to long ago?

I would like to offer a chalknge to
you, Gutless. First, in your next round
of "announcements", why don't you
sign your name to each one, and why
don't you provide your sources. Second,
if you are going to continue to issue
your little remarks, why not do so with
responsibility. If the message is going to
be heard by the people that I feel you
are ultimately targeting, that is the
administration, you need to have some
credibility. And the way I see it, credibilty
and responsibility go hand in hand.

As an involved upperclassman, you
are in the position of being a role-model.
If you are sincere about wanting to help
improve DelVal, why don't you start
doing things in a profesional manner,
and set a proper example. Don't show
them the way not to do things.

Operation Desert Shield....

As everyone is aware of, the invasion
of Kuwait by Iraq has prompted the
United States and a number of other
foreign countries to deploy troops in
the area. Captain Mike Jaskolka, A
DelVal Grad who majored in Chemistry,
ran cross country, was an RA, was an
Apiary Society member, as well as
being a member of student government,
is currently stationed in Saudi Arabia as
captain of an attack helicopter.

I have been in touch with both Mike
and his wife, who was also a DelVal
grad, and they both are doing as well as
can be expected under the circum-

stances. His wife, Marion, mentioned
that we have many troops stationed in
Saudi Arabia that have no family or
friends back home, and hence at mail
call time, they receive no mail. If you
would like to "adopt" a service person
you can do so by writing:
U.S. Service Member
Operation Desert Shield
FPO, N.Y., N.Y. 09866-0006
If you don't know what to write, tell
them a little bit about yourself and
about DelVal, as well as tellingthemthat
we are thinking aboutthem and strongly
behind them.

DVC Cheerleaders

by Lisa Melveney

The Delaware Valley College
Cheerleaders are looking for a few good
men! We are interested in athletic,
energetic men to cheer along with us
and assist with mounts and stunts. Sign
ups for try-outs for the basektball season
are also available.

This year we would like to welcome
five new cheerleaders to the squad.
They are Gina Sandone, a freshmen
Business Major; Colleen Jones, a
sophomore transfer student majoring
in Small Animal Science; Stephanie
Beach, a freshmen Food Science Major;
Tiffany Olson, a freshman Equine Major;
and Colleen Gebhardt, a sophomore
Equine Major.

Returning cheerleaders from the
sophomore class are Annemarie
Frederick (co-captain), a Business
Major, and Lisa Melveney, an Animal
Science Major. Returning juniors are
Jill Bachman, a Biology Major; Catherine
Duffey, a Large Animal Science Major;
and Joanna McKenna, who is an O.H.
Floraculture Major. The only returning
senior is Jill Brubaker, a Business Major.
Needless to say, we are glad to see
everyone back this year.

Some things that you may notice that
are different this year are the new
uniforms. They are a refreshing change
for both ourselves and the crowd. Also
the cheerleaders have a new coach.
Holly, who works with them to produce
the great results that are seen on the
field. As far as fund raisers go, we have
only had one so far this year, the car
wash. Even though this was a great
success, we need your help and ideas to
raise money.

Any suggestions, comments, or sign
ups for try-outs may be submitted to
either Annemarie Frederick, Berkowitz
114, or Jill Brubaker, Berkowitz 121.

The squad performed two off-campus
events. A demo for the Chamber of
Commerce, and marching as the lead
for the homecoming parade.

Advertising Note

As you have heard, we are temporarily
closing down to revamp the Ram Pages.
We will be offering a classified section

President Silverman Meets with DVC Staff

by James Masculi

The meeting took place Oct. 17 at
9:00 am in the All Purpose Room of the
Student Center. The speaker was
Herman Silverman.

The purpose of the meeting was for
Herman Silverman (the acting president
of DVC) to met the staff. He is not being
paid for this position. Mr. Silverman
graduated from DVC 50 years ago in
1940. DVC made him what he is today
— it taught him how to work hard and
to have a good relationship with his
comrades. The school was smaller back
then and if you weren't a nice person,
everybody knew it.

After DVC, Mr. Silverman went into
the army. Next, he started a landscape
business. Sylvan Landscape, which he
later built into Sylvan Pools, the largest
swimming pool company in the world.

He's been active in the Pennsylvania
Housing Finance Agency, (for the
production of low cost housing). Central
Bucks Chamber of Commerce,
President of the Board of the James A.
Michener Arts Center. Mr. Silverman
has been on the DVC Board for 6 years.

Mr. Silverman gave sincere appre-
ciation to the DVC Maintenance Staff

for keeping the campus so clean, inside
and out. He said "after all that is what it
is all about, doing your job well, whether
it's cleaning up the place or working the
accounting department." He is proud
to be here. He has four wonderful
daughters and 6 grandchildren.

He said DVC is a very important part
of the eastern U.S. A lot of people think
DVC is fabulous. We can succeed with
teamwork — one person ftin't think
he's more important than anyone else.

For the short time that he is here one
of Mr. Silverman's goals is to raise the
endowment. To turn 80 million of assets
into cash. Possibilities he suggested are
hotels, convention centers and even a
golf course and then offer hotel or golf
course management programs for
students. He would like to make this
school better financially. He introduced
George West as his deputy, calling him
"A presidential looking guy."

Mr. Silverman wants to keep DVC a
healthy school. He doesn't want to
make any big changes. He thinks it is
well run with many good staff members
working together.

Bucks County Honey Show Scheduled

The Annual Bucks County Honey
Show will be held on Thursday,
November 8, 1990 starting at 7:00 P.M.
The show is being sponsored by The
Bucks County Bee Association in
conjunction with Delaware Valley
College and the College's Beekeeping
Club. The meeting will be held in the
Delaware Valley College Bee House. If
you are not sure of the location of the
Bee House, stop at the Security office
on your way in for directions. The
competition is open to anyone keeping
honey bees in Bucks County, Pa. All
entries must be produced by the entrant
within Bucks County. Judging
categories will include a number of
classes of liquid honey, with three one
pound unlabeled queen line jars being
required. A comb honey category will

also be judged with three section combs
of honey being required. Beeswax will
also be judged, with the entry being
minimum of one pound. There will be
ribbons for the first three finishers in
each category, and there will be a grand
prize for the beekeeper scoring the
most points in the show.

The judge for the show will be Dr.
Bob Berthold, Delaware Valley College's
beekeeping specialist and he will be
assisted by the members of the Delaware
Valley College Beekeeping Club. Honey
is judged on the criteria that would
make it an prime consumer product.
Including in the judging is the floral
source of the honey, its freedom from
contaminants, its moisture content, its
freedom from crystals, and its market
appearance.

Share A Ghostly Tale

....with a friend this Halloween. "Fly" to the library and borrow some blood curdling

Aggies Looking For Third Straight Road Win At Moravian

DOYLESTOWN (PA) Heading
out on a four game road trip with a 14
record, the Delaware Valley College
football team could have folded their
tents and called it a season. However,
the Aggies have started out the trip with
two straight impressive victories and
will look to make it three in a row on
Saturday, October 27th when they travel
to Moravian College for a Middle Atlantic
Conference (MAC) contest. Kickoff
from Steel Field in Bethlehem is set for
1:30 p.m.

DelVal rallied from a 14-7 halftime
deficit to post a 34-14 non-conference
victory over Wesley College last
weekend to improve its mark to 3-4
overall, while remaining2-3 in the MAC.
The Green and Gold have also posted
wins over Albright (35-28) and Wilkes
(49-28) to go with losses to nationally
ranked Wagner (34-13), Juniata (33-10),
Lycoming (33-21) and Susquehanna
(37-23).

"I had to be happy for a number of
reasons," said fourth-year Delaware
Valley coach Dick Bedesem ( 14-22-1 ) of
his squad's win over Wesley. "First it
was a little bit of a payback for last
year's 21-14 loss to them, so this was a
sweet revenge type thing.

"Secondly and the thing that I was
most pleased with was the poise of our
entire program. Nobody panicked being
down at halftime and the kids came
back out and got the job done in the
second half. Our coaches also did a

fantastic job of not getting away from
the game plan and just keeping cool and
sticking with what we started with."

Senior quarterback Tim Ford
(Neshaminy/Levittown, PA) had
another outstanding afternoon running
the wishbone offense. The Aggie co
captain carried 15 times for a game-high
83 yards, including a 37-yard scoring
run midway through the first quarter.
For the season, he has rushed for a
team-high 353 yards on 107 carries with
a team leading six touchdowns and 32
points.

The Aggies fullback posse of junior
Jack Mulholland (Archbishop
Wood/Holland, PA) and sophomore
Bryan Sith (Easton/Easton, PA) again
came through with big games.

Both players carried five times for 57
yards, with Mulhojland scoring two
touchdowns on runs of 2 and 36 yards
and Smith tacking on an insurance
score with a 32-yards scoring jaunt
early in the fourth quarter. Mulholland's
first touchdown capped a seven-play,
65 yard drive and proved to be the
game winner with 9:53 left in the third
quarter.

Junior halfbacks Bill Nolan
(Roxbury/Flanders, NJ) and Clayton
Andrews (Lehighton/Lehighton, PA)
also added 53 and 44 yards on the
ground respectively as DelVal piled up
319 yards rushing on the afternoon.

Junior tackle Steve Wagner
(Souderton/Lansdale, PA) was named

Junior fullback Jack Mulholland (#33) has run for 159 yards and three touchdowns in the Aggies last two
wins.

the Doylestown Moose Player of the
Week for his efforts on Saturday. The
rest of the offensive line, junior center
Steve Hykes (Greencastle Antrim/-
Greencastle, PA), sophomore tackle
Brian Kreider (C.B. East/Plumsteadville,
PA) and sophomore guards Joe
Boyarski (Hazelton/Hazelton, PA) and
Neil Stamy (Cumberland/Mechanics-
burg, PA), have Delaware Valley on a
pace to set a new single season rushing
record.

Junior Scott Hallet (Bangor/Bangor,
PA) added his name to the Delaware
Valley College record books on
Saturday, when he returned a kickoff
34 yards with 6:27 left in the first
quarter. That return gave Hallet 416
kickoff return yards on 18 returns for
the season, breaking the old mark of
406 yards set a year ago by 1990 grad
Bob Stamm, and 868 kickoff return
yards for his career to eclipse Joe
Franchella's ( 1964-67) old record of 836
yards.

The Aggie defense came through
with its best effort of the season, limiting
Wesley to just 298 yards of total offense,
while forcing five turnovers. Four of the
five turnovers came in the second half
and led to touchdowns.

Sophomore linebackers Mike
Hirschmann (Archibishop Wood/-
Warminster, PA ) and Darren Bethke
(Neshaminy/Parkland, PA) continue to
lead the squad in tackles, registering 10
and 12 stops respectively. Hirschmann
has a team-high 87 tackles on the
season, while Bethke is right behind
with 76 stops.

Sophomore defensive end Bill
Maynard (Panther Valley/Lansford, PA)
added to his team-leading sack total of
eight with two more against Wesley to
go with five tackles. Sophomore
defensive end Paul DiMaria (Bishop
McDevitt/Glenside, PA) added nine
tackles and his first sack of the season
in the winning effort.

Sophomore safety Dave Samuel
(Frankford/Philadelphia. PA), a MAC
Player of the Week nominee, intercepted
his fifth pass of the season, which leads
the team, and also intercepted a fumble
on the DelVal one yard line and returned
it 34 yards to stall a Wolverine drive.

Freshman safety Andy Sgarra
(Roxboro/Philadelphia, PA) got the
green and Gold back in the game when
he intercepted his first career pass and
returned it 24 yards for a touchdown
with less than one minute gone in the
second half to pull DelVal within one at
14-13. He also stopped an earlier Wesley
drive with a fumble recovery, while
registering four tackles.

Turkey Trot and Health Fair Set

On Sunday, November 18, 1990,
Delaware Valley College will be
sponsoring its 17th Annual 3.5 mile
Turkey Trot Run. The race will be run
mainly on campus, and it begins at 2:00
P.M. with the blast of the cannon
between the Gym and the Student
Center. The race over the years has
become a "happening", and last year
over 200 people finished. Entrants have
been of all different abilities, and many
"non-running" students have parti-
cipated in the run. Also participating in
the race have been numerous alumni,
faculty, staff, and administrators.

Doylestown Hospital will again be
conducting a Health Fair in conjunction
with the race. Additional information
and a race application can be obtained
from Coach Berthold, race director,
Mrs. Schumacher, Athletic Dept.
Secretary; Mrs. Noonan, Mandell Hall
Secretary, Mrs. Martin, College
Receptionist in Lasker Hall, and from
Security.

Anyone interested in serving as an
race official (no previous experience
necessary!) is asked to contact Dr.
Berthold.

INTERVIEW WITH TRUSTEE STEPHEN RABB
BY: ADAM KAPLAN

Adam: Could you tell us what happened at the last board meeting
give your views of them?

Mr. Raab: Mr. Gemill (former chairman of the board) opened the

meeting and then turned it over to Mr. Silverman to make
the President's report. We vent through the President's
report and then had an election of officers. What had
happened was that the board decided who was going to run
the school. Whether the alumni were going to run it, or
whether the outside trustees were going to run it. The
outside trustees, and I will tell you that we call
ourselves the **White Hats'* and by the way, we don't
refer to the others as the Black Hats. We refer to the
alumni as the independents. Obviously there were two
different directions in which we thought the school
should be moving. The independents were adamant that
the school remain an independent institution. The
"White Hats" were certainly willing to give the
independents "Go it alone option" as fair a shake as we
thought we could, but we wanted to keep the doors open to
affiliate with other institutions. That was basically
w^iat happened at the last meeting and what was decided
upon. As you saw, I think the vote was twelve to ten
to go with the alumni faction.

Adam: So there were ten board members that were devoted to
keeping an open mind...

Mr. Raab: In effect, you're right. Remember that there were to
have been two slates of candidates presented for
election. In fact, there were two candidates put up
for Chairman, and that is where the vote took place,
soley on chairmanship, because once Dr. Nandell was
elected Chairman, all of the "White Hats" backed out.
But then as you were saying, yes, ten people voted
to keep an open mind, and twelve voted to stay
independent .
Adam: How will the division within the trustees affect the
ooeration of the board?

J^iM--

Mr. Raab:

Adam:
Mr. Raab:
Adam:
Mr. Raab:
Adam:
Mr. Raab:
Adam:

That's a good question. I have no idea how the board

is operating right now. Two months ago I was an integral

part of the board of trustees. The ten of us that voted

in the minority have been taken out of any decision

making, and we have no idea of what is happening at the

school .

That was done by the majority vote?

Yes, by the Executive Committee.

They in effect took you out of...

Yes.

So they are now. . •

Running the school.

And can put their people in whatever positions they wish

on the board?

Mr. Raab: Yes.

Adam: So there is no coxinterba lance?

Mr. Raab: Well, remember that while there have been resignations
from the board since the last meeting, there are still a
number of '*White Hats" on the board. I would hope that
no more would leave. I would be somewhat surprised if
the independents don't put more people on the board that
favor their position.

Adam: From the standpoint of looking to the right direction,
is this leading to doom?

Mr. Raab: You are asking what is really an unfair question only

because I feel the answer to that is not positive. Is it
leading to doom? I certainly hope not. I hope that Dr.
Mandell is going to do everything that he thinks his
group can do. His group has promised to raise $2 million
in annual giving, to raise additional funds for capital
expenditures, and they made a number of, for lack of a
better word, "Campaign Promises'* including increasing
tuition paying enrollment by one-hundred students. I
don't know that it can or can't be done, I certainly hope
that it can. I also certainly hope that every trustee
that remains on the board will try to achieve that goal.
No one is going to be working against what Dr. Mandell
is going to do. Whether any of us be right or wrong
in how we felt six weeks ago or how we feel today, I
honestly believe that every trustee was doing and is
doing what they think is right for the school.

Adam: With all of the talk and rumor about Del Val "Going
State," or "Affiliating with the state system," can
you describe what these phrases really mean?

Mr. Raab: The alliances that we were considering were either those
of a private institution, affiliating with the state
system of higher education, or affiliating with Penn
State. What we immediately did was to remain an
independent institution for the time being. As you
probably heard reference to at some point, there were two
task forces formed. Dr. Montileone headed the force that
was responsible for looking at the external forces that
were affecting the school, and my task force was looking
at the internal factors that were affecting the school.
We, for the most part now headed by Bill Rorer (former
President of Del Val) spoke with individuals from all
three areas of affiliation. It appeared that the idea of
affiliating with another independent educational

DVC PR0FB880R8 JOIN CB BAST PAMBL
BY: JANES MASCOLI

Eight panelists and 400 students gathered In the
auditorium of Central Bucks High School on January 8th to discuss
the use of nilltary force In the Persian Gulf. January 15th had
already been set by President Bush as the deadline to nake the
decision as to whether the United States should go to war, or not,
with Iraq. The moderator was Mr. Burkett a teacher at Central
Bucks East High School. Dr. Goldberg and Mr. Simone, both DVC
professors, spoke to the students. Dr. Goldberg suggested that the
choice of going to war was a constitutional process that congress
must debate. Other panelists included a business marketing
director, Mr. Charles Heath; a former associated press
corespondent, Tom Baldwin; A Bucks County Community College
professor, David Sconyers; Peter Kostmeyer; and more of the Central
Bucks faculty. Some of the panelists were veterans themselves.
They all discussed the pros and cons of going to war.

The students were active participants in the discussion.
At the end of the meeting they voted a 246 to 186 majority to go to
war. Mr. Burkett was pleased with the variation of the academic
community on the panel. He said "it was a good cross section for
a debate." He felt that they achieved their objective in keeping
the keeping the students attention. He said that since some of the
students had family and friends in the military, the discussion was
more important to them.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN ART EXHIBIT HELD AT DVC

Delaware Valley College saluted Black History Month by
hosting an exhibit of African-American art on Tuesday, February 26,
from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the Student Center lobby. A
collection of original artwork, prints, posters, and folk art
depicting Black America was on display.

The exhibit, featuring both local and nationally known
African-American artists, was provided by the October Gallery of
Philadelphia, which specializes in this type of art and conducts
national tours of its extensive collection.

institution was not really a good idea, and the reason
for that being that we probable would not be able to find
at least a Pennsylvania institution that had a strong
enough financial base to affiliate with. So we never
looked at the independent affiliation option with
tremendous scrutiny. We did look at the state system
and Penn State. Both the State system and Penn State
were offering what appeared to be for the most part the
same thing. They were different, but it was really in

^1 ,

- I»\\«vi»v>>~

'?c«^M

the nitty gritty details. Under the state system plan,
ve would have become the fourteenth university in the
state system. To be one of the state system schools,
you must become a university among other things. But
the great thing that the state system offered to Delaware
Valley College was money, and a great deal of money.
They were going to come in and fund many of the things
that D.V.C. needs. They were going to lower tuition.
That was very important to us. The problem with the
state system was that D.V.C. would loose control of its
self. It would be controlled by the board of education
of the state of Pennsylvania. D.V.C. would continue to
have a board, but it would be an advisory board to the
state. That was the problem, well at least in some
peoples' minds. Penn State basically was offering the
same thing, but we never got as far with Penn State as to
how much money they would put in. We did gop that far
with the state system. Penn State wanted D.V.C. to
become a wholly owned subsidiary of Penn State
University. It would continue as Delaware Valley
College, but it would be owned and therefore operated
by Penn State. Both systems wanted D.V.C. in my opinion,
one for its land, and two for its agricultural programs.

Adam: How much did our land figure in to any possible deal?
Were they interested in keeping it, selling it?

Mr. Raab: No. Neither system wanted to sell the land. They looked
at the land as an asset because it means that the school
can grow.

Adam: So affiliating with Penn State or the state system

basically would have surrendered control of the school
in exchange for the cash to straighten things out?

Mr. Raab: You have to look at the cash from two different

perspectives. One being the cash to straighten things
out, i.e. your operating cash, and two being the cash for
capital funding. To build new dorms, to fix broken
things, to build new classrooms and labs. I am most
concerned about the capital funding at D.V.C. I think
that if we do not improve the physical ability of the
college, then we will not be able to attract new
students. Both of these options would have improved
our physical ability.

Do you feel the college should remain independent?
I feel the college should remain independent. I think
that's the direction the board wants to move. I do feel
however, that the college can not, should not, close
its eyes to other options. I don't want to see the
college walk down a road saying ''We're going to do it
this way and there is no other way out. If we don't
do it this way we're going to close the school.** I don't
want the college to do that. I want them to have other
options.

Adam: The head of the alumni association seemed to say that
under the Rorer Administration, the association really
had not done much in the way of fund raising. They had

Adam:
Mr. Raab:

w^

not put in as such effort as they should have, or
something along those lines. Was this the way things
were with the association?

Mr. Raab: I guess. You know, the alumni of D.V.C. is different from
the alumni of most other independent schools. Number
one, even though we've been in business for almost 100
years, we don't have that many alumni. Of the alumni we
have, because we were primarily an agricultural school
until our fairly recent past, our alumni went out and
farmed. They don't have a lot of money to give. I think
our alumni have done a pretty good job of giving to their
ability.

Adam: At the last meeting of the board. Trustee Mark Hankin
brought his lawyer and read from Roberts Rules. How
conmon or uncommon is it for a trustee to bring a lawyer
or read from Roberts Rules?

Mr. Raab: I've sat on a lot of boards and I've never seen it done
before. I don't know what the heck he was trying to
prove. I have no idea. I have no idea whatsoever.
I had never seen it done, and neither had Mr. Gemill
(former chairman of the board) .

Adam: I think Mr. Hankin took a lot of people by surprise when
he announced that he was donating $100,000 to the
college. Mr. Art Foley then pledged $100,000 of his
money to the college. How did you react to this?

Mr. Raab: I didn't. I'm glad to see him make that donation. I'd
glad to see that, and I think it's great. I give very
little money myself directly. My gif tings happen to be
through a foundation of the board of directors. We vote
where we will give the money that comes into the
foundation. I'm surprised that Mark, well, it's just
a method of giving. For years we have given anonymously.
I'm not much of a showboat.

Adam: We might have just covered part of this, but Mr. Hankin
stated that not enough of the trustees were giving as
much as he thought they could or should be. Is there a
basis for this statement?

Mr. Raab: Usually when you choose a bdard for a charitable

institution, you choose three types of board members.
Those that are able to give, those that are workers and
will do the work that has to be done, and three, you
choose those whose name is going to enhance the school.
We certainly had in the past, and I don't want to talk
about present board members, but we certainly had board
members that did very little for the school. I think
those members that are active in the school, and
certainly those that were at the last board meeting
must be considered active. I think they are giving to
the best of their ability.

Adam: What can the general college community, the students,

the faculty, and the staff, do to help the college now?

Mr. Raab: I think the most important thing the college community
can do is to bring more students to the school. It's
about saying, **I go to a great school called Delaware

H<^

•IrAtrVilO-

Valley College that has a great course in x, y, or z."
I think you have to get more students. I just think it
is truly necessary.

Adam: Is there anything else you would like to say to the
college community?

Mr. Raab: It is not unusual for boards to disagree. It is

dangerous to have a split board. I am confident that
as long as the remaining trustees on the board pull
together and work for the betterment of the school,
that the school is going to come out of this in fine
shape. I don't think we're going to see changes
overnight; I wish we could. I really wish there was a
tooth fairy. That we'd wake up tomorrow and find that
someone had given us $20 million, and we could do all of
the things that we'd like to do. Unfortunately it is not
that easy, and I think we are going to have to work for
it. I trust that the board will be able to pull together
and do that work. I think the college community should
put pressure on the board to do that.

Adam: Thank you.

IMTERVZEW WITH TRUSTEE MARK HIOIXIM

BY: ADAM KAPLAN

Adan: Can you tell us what happened at the last Board of

Trustees meeting where the new officers were elected?

Mr. Hankln: The board was obviously split on the decisions that

had to be made. It was the feeling of what turned out
to be the majority that we wanted to elect someone as
the chairman of the board who was supportive of the
position that was taken at the previous meeting. That
position was to remain an Independent Institution and
take whatever efforts that are necessary to Insure
that that was given a fair time to work Its way out.
A format had been put together by the previous
Executive Committee with the Chairman to nominate
people that supported their views, even though they had
been the minority views at the prior meeting of the
board. We nominated a new slate, and had enough people
there to support that slate. That represented the
wishes of the prior board, which was to have a board
that was committed to Independence, and committed to
taking the necessary measures to support Independence.
As a result, we elected people that were different from
the slate t^at was proposed by the former Executive
Committee.

Adam: When Dr. Mandell was elected as Chairman of the Board,

everyone on the original slate withdrew their names?

Mr. Hankln: The election of Dr. Mandell symbolized to the people

who wanted to retain the position of control that they
had, that they basically had lost that battle. And so
with his name being the first name up and the other
names being nominated, they just all withdrew knowing
that they did not have the votes to sustain the
position that they were trying to push through.

Adam: What are the different Ideas the two sldps of the Board

of Trustees have?

Mr. Hankln: The basic difference, as I understand It, Is that the

prior Executive Board which was working together with
former President Rorer, wanted to merge Delaware Valley
College Into the Fenn State system. Penn State
apparently did not respond the way they wanted, or
respond at all Is more appropriate. They took what
they considered their backup alternative, one that
they had not really supported strongly until Penn State
did not respond affirmatively. The backup alternative
was to become a part of the University of Pennsylvania
higher education system. They wanted to push Delaware
Valley College towards that merger which would have
turned us Into an Institution such as Slippery Rock,
or one of the other state schools. They felt that the
college could not remain Independent because of Its
financial problems which had been hastened by the

-?<«<. t

Mr. Hankin:

Adam:

Mr. Hankin:

actions of the former Executive Board by the action
of Bill Rorer. In my opinion, I don't think they
acted responsibly if their intention was to help
Delaware Valley College grow as an independent school.
Faced with the problem of the failure to raise money,
their easy way out was to merge the college. Then they
could say that they had succeeded, instead of really
having failed at their task. That is really the
difference. If we are not successful, we can always
take the failure route out and call it a success.
Adam: Is the split in the board deep enough to impair its

performance, and how close was the actual vote?
No, I don't think so. First of all, the college is run
by the president and the executive board. When we
voted to remain independent, the vote was about
2-1 in favor of remaining independent.
How much control do the independents now have?
The independents now control the board. The Executive
Committee fills all of the various committees, oversees
the operation of the college from the boards' point of
view, and gives support to the administation. The
independents now control all of the committees.
The independents can be positioned. . .
They are already filled.
Filled with the independents?

Well, not all of them. I think we do have some people
from the minority position to have representation. The
board is supposed to work unanimously.
So there is a counter balance?

There should be. Just because the board voted on a
very close vote doesn't mean that you have a split
board. Once the vote is taken, the board acts in a
unanimous fashion. There have some members who have
resigned because they felt they were not comfortable
working in that program. We will be bringing new
board members on, and they will be told what the goal
of this college is, and these people will support
and work towards that goal.

Is it possible that the board will take an approach
where they say that they are single minded in their
efforts to keep the college independent?
No, I don't think so. The board has several
constraints. Certain budgetary constraints that we
can't go beyond. Therefore, if we reach a point one,
two, three years from now where we can't control the
budget and bring enough money in, at that point we'll
have to say, **Well, since we can't do that, obviously
what we want is our institution to survive in this
area to provide educational opportunities in the
framework that we think is important to this
community. ** Then we would seek alternative solutions,
whether that would be Penn State or the University of
Pennsylvania. These opportunities, in my opinion, will
always be there because we have a very valuable asset.

Adam: In the hypothetical situation that the college cannot

remain independent, what would be the iminediate and
long term changes at Del Val?

Mr. Hank in: To tell you the truth, I don't think it is even worth

thinking about. The truth is, the college will remain
independent. I am firmly convinced that we can resolve
the financial situation here so that the college will
remain independent. I put money into this college
because I am sure that we can do it. It is not an
insurmountable problem by any stretch of the
imagination.

Adam: You brought along your lawyer and read from "Robert's

Rules'* at the last meeting. Many people described
that action as being highly unusual. What were your
reasons for doing so?

Mr. Hankin: I had heard that the prior Executive Board had planned

to do certain things to protect their interests. I had
heard that they had planned a certain strategy to
protect the interests they felt were best for the
college, in spite of the 2-1 vote at the prior meeting.
Their goal even after the vote was to merge the college
out, and they were doing everything possible to do
V that, and that was wrong. I felt it was appropriate
to have an attorney there so that he could find the
appropriate pages for me in Robert's Rules so that I
could read them for the record if that was necessary.
Obviously at one point I felt it was necessary.

Adam: You stated in the meeting that some of the board

members are not contributing as much to the college
as they should be?

Mr. Hankin: There are two reasons for being a board member on a

charitable board. One is to provide expertise, and
the other is to contribute money. A person should
not be on a board like this and contribute just a
thousand dollars. That is just inappropriate. When
When they are brought on to the board, they should be
told that they are expected to make significant
contributions, significant as a relative term •
obviously. We have a nvunber of members on the board
who do not.

Adam: What can the students, the faculty, and the staff do

to help the college?

Mr. Hankin: The staff and the faculty can do a lot by controlling

their expenditures. That's the first step. Everyone
on campus should observe. This can be done by picking
up their own trash, shutting off lights, etc. The
student body can do a lot by not being wasteful. Talk
up DVC at the high schools. We need more students. The
best sale for a college is a student going back to
their high school and saying what they like about it.

Adam: Is there anything else that you would like to say

to the campus?

Mr. Hankin: I think that they should know that what has happened

is a family quarrel. Like any family quarrel, people

fight for what they believe in, and once that fight is
over, everyone should buckle down and work towards the
goal that the majority supported. The students, the
faculty, and the staff should do everything that they
can to help us achieve that goal. Know that our
conmitment is a strong one, and I see no reason why
Delaware Valley College cannot remain independent.
Delaware Valley College has a very bright future.

A TOUGH SEASON FOR YIELD HOCKEY

The 1990 field hockey team experienced another tough season,
posting 2-15 record. The 11, sometimes 10 girl squad learned a
great deal about themselves and their abilities, as the season
progressed. **The girls are a fundamentally sound team that wants
to win and will win if they continue to work hard together'* (Coach
Fleischer) Coach Fleischer also sees light over the horizon as
intense recruiting brings in players to compliment those already on
the team. This years squad was led by captains Suzette Brought
(soph) , Amy Follweiler (soph) , and Lisa Monteiro ( jr) . Other team
members included Angle Cromin (sr) , Melody Gessaman ( jr) , Marlene
Burns ( jr) , Sherri McAllister (fr) , Karen Geib (FR) , Gladys Hodge
(fr), April Hansen (fr) , and Amy Terry (fr) . Melody Geesaman was
also selected to the MAC All- Academic Team. Amy Follweiler was
selected by her peers as teh teams MVP. Amy was also selected as
a MAC All-star By the coaches in the Northeast Section of the MAC.
Sherri McAllister and Amy Follweiler were recognized for their
efforts on the PCB tournament the squad played in toward the end of
the season.

Members of DVC's Floral Society placed yellow ribbons on
trees bordering route 202, the entire length of Del Vals sprawling
property to help express the College's concern for our troops In
the Middle East. Dozens and dozens of ribbons representing over
600 yards of ribbon were used in this outpouring of support.

Dr. John Martin, Chairman of the Department of Ornamental
Horticulture and Environmental Design Is an advisor to the club.
Dr. Martin said that the yellow ribbons are a sincere visual
representation of our love and concern for our troops - a wish that
they return safely and as soon as possible. He pointed out that
while there are many opinions on campus as to the merits of the
war, everyone is united in support and concern for our troops.

DVC DEVELOPS CRIMINAL JUSTICE MAJOR

DVC is developing a Criminal Justice Administration
major to add to the growing list of career-oriented majors now "
being offered by the college.

Recently the college added a Mathematics major and
an English major to its business, science and agricultural
curriculum. The proposed Criminal Justice Administration major
would be a progressive addition to the college's program. Like the
other programs offered by the college, it is geared toward
preparing students for current career opportunities.

If the proposal meets the approval of Pennsylvania's
Department of Education, DVC will offer a four-year program leading
to a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice Administration degree.
The proposed curriculum is geared toward those individuals
interested in careers in police work, probation, parole, prison
administration, corrections, and other related fields in the
supervision and management of the justice system.

According to Dr. James P. Hirsh, the college's
Director of Continuing Education, this program is unique in that it
offers an interdisciplinary curriculum that includes a strong
liberal arts background, a focus on management techniques and
skills to complement the traditional criminal justice courses.

Once the program is approved by the Commonwealth, it
will be added to the college's program roster. Dr. John Mertz,
College Provost said, "We are quite excited by the development.
There is clearly an interest in this discipline within the N^
community, and it will dovetail nicely with the two year programs
offered by area community colleges. Moreover, it is clearly
consistent with our college's mission, which is to provide the very
best career-oriented programs to meet the needs of the Delaware
Valley Community. ••

PRIDE AMD POLISH DAY
BY: JANES MASCOLI

This year Pride and Polish Day will be on April 17, just
a few days before A-Day. The purpose of this day is to get the
college more prepared for A-Day and to give the students, faculty
and administration a chance to work together around the campus.
It will be a good day to put on some jeans and rake leaves or make
security barricades, since classes will not be held. This will
also be a good time for office workers to take a break from their
usual routines.

Last year on Pride and Polish Day, brick walls, fences,
and floors were repaired.

This year there will be a dinner with valuable door prizes
(jackets, etc.) to be given away. There may also be some sporting
events held after all the work is done, so come enjoy the fun.

PART I: A Stretching Routine You Can Follow

By: Judy Peltz

In the last issue of the Ram Pages, the importance of
stretching was examined. Now that you know its relevance to your
fitness program you'll want to construct some kind of stretching
routine .

Before going into a sequence of stretching take 5 to 10
minutes to warm up with some light aerobic activity. You should
begin to perspire at the end of this warm up phase. A brief period
of light aerobic work will elevate your heart rate, stimulate
circulation, warm the muscles, and in short, prepare your body for
the work out to follow.

Let us assume you are warmed up and ready to stretch.
Where do you begin and what are you going to do? Preferably, you
want to start exercising your larger muscle groups first. This
isn't mandatory but it is a good idea, if you have not warmed up
adequately and try to stretch smaller more specific muscle areas
before larger ones (especially if your flexibility is not what it
should be) , you run a greater risk of injury.

Some of you already have a stretching routine that you
have acquired through participating in various sports programs.
Stick with your programs, but be certain your posture and technique
are proper. Hint: mirrors are great places for posture
observation. Also, make sure you remove any "no no** stretches from
your routine. There seems to be* a growing list of **outlawed'*
stretches. Here are some of the **no no's** to date: straight leg
sit ups, hurdler stretch, yoga plow, full neck circles, and hands
on hips back bends. Most of these are bad news because they place
unnecessary strain on the vertebral column. There are safer
alternatives. Avoid the above exercises I

Now that you know what not to do, let's construct an
actual routine. This is just one of the many possible approaches.
Let's begin with the buttocks /hips /leg area or the lower body.

1. Standing Quadriceps Stretch- Stand facing a wall or
some object that you can use forXbalance and support. Place your
right leg behind you and grab it at the ankle with your left hand.
Give a gentle pull back and up toward the buttocks until you feel
a good stretch on the upper front portion of your right leg. Be
sure you are standing with good posture- no slouching. Hold the
stretch for 10 to 30 seconds, then release and change legs. This
time your left leg comes back and your right hand grabs the ankle.

2. Reclining Hamstring Stretch- you want to sit on the
floor for this exercise. Lie back with your knees bent in a sit-up
like position. Extend your Right leg out leaving just a slight
bend to the knee (don't lock the knee) . Grab hold of your Right
leg with both hands at or as close to the ankle as you can get, and
keep your upper body flat on the floor. Gently pull the extended
right leg toward your upper body until you feel a squeeze in the
upper rear portion of your right leg. Hold for 10 to 30 seconds,
once you feel the squeeze, and then release. Now it's time for the
left leg. Once you've mastered the basics of this stretch, try
flexing the foot and pulling in and then pointing the foot and

'Rut^n

-ri>iv45&-

pulling in toward the body . Flexing will place more tension on
the back of the leg and give you a better stretch.

3, Flat on Your Back Lea Crosses- This is a great exercise
in that it not only stretches the hip and buttock area, but also
part of the lower back. However, form and execution are very
important so read carefully. Keep your arms flat on the floor at
shoulder level and leave them there, against the floor, for the
entire stretch. Now, take your right leg extend it up in the air
and begin to slowly drop the leg toward the left side of your body.
Remember: your arms and shoulders should remain flat throughout
this exercise. Continue to drop the leg as far as you can
comfortably go. Ideally you want to touch the floor. You should
feel a stretch on your right hip, buttocks and the right side of
your torso. Hold the stretch for 10 to 30 seconds then switch
legs .

4. straddle stretch for Inner Thiah - Sit up straight with
your legs placed apart in a **V** position. Keep your back in proper
anatomical position and keep your eyes focused straight ahead to
avoid slouching. Lean forward from your hips toward the center of
your '*V** Hold for 10 to 30 seconds and then release. You may also
use this as a hamstring stretch by simply turning your torso to the
right or left side when performing the exercise.

5. Calve Stretch - Stand up and face a wall with you hands
against the wall at shoulder level. Begin to walk your feet
backwards away from the wall until you can not keep your feet flat
on the floor. Now move your feet in, to where you are first able
to keep them flat. Take a step in toward the wall with your right
leg and lean, from the hips, toward the wall keeping both feet
flat. You should feel a stretch on the lower rear portion of your
left leg. Hold position for 10 to 30 seconds and switch legs.

Read though these exercises and practice them with a
friend or roommate. You can watch each other's form and help one
another. Some of you already know these exercises, so give the
other people who don't know them a demonstration. All of you
fitness fanatics out there encourage your not-so-active friends to
start a fitness program by getting them acquainted with different
activities. Physical fitness is an important component to your
overall well being. Oet with it I

routine series: Upper Body Stretches. Also, please send any
questions or comments concerning fitness, nutrition, training, etc.

GEESMAN AND SHERMAN NAMED TO MAC ACADEMIC HONOR ROLL

A pair of delaware valley college athletes have been named to
the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Academic Honor Roll for the
1990 fall sports season. Senior football player Travis Sherman
(New Oxford/Abbottstown, PA) and junior field hockey standout
Melody Geesman (Fairfield/Fairfield, PA) were recognized by the MAC
for outstanding performances both on the field and in the
classroom.

The MAC recognized 135 athletes on the Fall Honor Roll, who
ware of sophomore standing or higher with at least a 3.4 grade
point average (gpa) .

Geesman was the second leading scorer on the 1990 Del Val
Field hockey squad that finished with a 2-14 record. She scored
three goals and added one assist for seven points from her forward
positions. In the classroom, Geesman holds a 3.75 gpa as na
ornamental horticulture/Landscape major. She has been a dean's
list student all four semesters at Del Val and is also active in
intramural floor hockey and the landscape/nursery club.

Sherman was a starting defensive tackle for the 3-7 Aggie
football squad and finished his senior season with 28 tackles and
one quarterback sack for a loss of 12 yards. An agronomy major at
Del Val, Sherman has posted a 3.43 gpa, while also being on the
Dean's List and a member of the Agronomy club on campus.

C0N8ERVXTZ0N CORNER

No matter where you live-in city or the country-you are a
"land user**. As such you are responsible for its care, whether you
own it, lease it, rent it or just use it.

We are all dependent on the land. Buildings rest on it, trees
root in it, vegetables plants and grasses grow in it.
Unfortunately we often get involved in our own pursuits and forget
about the land.

Thomas Jefferson once said •*a nations wealth is no greater
than the depth of its topsoil** for every great nation that has
risen it has fallen. It is important to realize that we are using
most of our natural resources, especially topsoil, at a finite
fate.

All life depends on topsoil and will cease to exist when it is
all gone. Make a commitment to support sound conservation Whatever
it may be.

DVC DEVELOPS EDUCATIOH MAJOR

DVC as part of its progressive development of career-
orientated programs has applied to the Commenwealth's Department of
Education for the approval to introduce an Education major and
secondary teaching certification program.

Since DVC is the only non-sectarian, private college in
Bucks County, there has been increasing demand in this area for a
4-year program leading to a degree in education and certification
in secondary teaching. According to Dr. Mertz, Provost, **We have
had some experience providing in-service programs in science areas
for teachers. A significant fraction of our graduates have
certified elsewhere to become teachers, mostly at the secondary
level. Both of these points have convinced us that we have
excellent capabilities in terms of the subject matter. What has
been missing is the opportunity to certify teachers. We believe we
can be of service in this arena and hope to persuade the
Commonwealth to agree with us.**

The college has recently introduced a Mathematics and an
English major. These new majors along with the current offerings
in business, science and agriculture complement the proposed
education major.

DVC Holds Student Forum

By: James Masculi

A student forum was held Tuesday
March, 12 at 8 p.m. in the coffeehouse.
The forum was mn by the Student
Government. The purpose was to enable
students to take their ideas and concerns
to the administration of the college in a
constructive manner. Heading the board
was Student Government President Ken
Peterson, class of '94 President Mike
Jadis, and Ram Pages Representative

Adam Kaplan.

The first topic was the new majors
offered at DVC. There are now Math,
Criminal Justice, and Education Majors
available. The reaction towards these
was positive.

One topic not on the agenda that was
discussed, was the meal plan for
students. It was suggested that students
pay for a specific number of meals rather
than pay for a whole semester of meals.
It was that many students don't eat all of
the meals that they payed for. Some
students eat only two meals a day, istead
of three.

Another item discussed was how the
school can advertise to agrk:ultural areas
of Pennsylvania. It was suggested that
we distribute more brochures to other
schools in rural
Pennsylvania.

DVC Signs Agreement
WitI) CHIInstitute

Graduates of the CHI Institute's
Business Computer Applications Program
can now transfer credits toward a
Bachelor Of Science degree at Delaware
Valley College, thanks to a new
agreement between the two schools.

The agreement between DVC and the
CHI institute in Southampton, PA, allows
the graduates to continue their studies in
Computer Information Systems
Management or Business Administration
at the college.

According to George West, Acting
President of Del Val, the combination of
CHI's specialized training with Del Val's

academic curriculum can lead students
into careers in business/computer
supen^sion management

"CHI graduates have already acquired
the technical computer background to
start them on successful careers. At Del
Val, we can provide a broader learning
experience for those interested in
continuing their education or preparing for
career advancement," said West.

Del Val also cun'ently accepts transfer
credits from CHI's Computer Engineering
Technology and Computer Systems
Technology programs.

Epidemic Runs it's Course
at DVC

By:LizJost

A Sexually Transmitted Disease
Awareness Program was presented in
the lounge of Work Hall at Delaware
Valley College, on February 26, 1991 .

The special program concerning
STD's was the result of a recent outbreak
of Gonorrhea on the DVC campus.
Organized by the by Health Services and
the Residence Life Staff, this activity had
one of the largest turnouts for a dorm
activity this year.

The evening began with a brief
explanation of the history of Sexually
Transmitted Diseases. Pamphlets were
handed out explaining how they are
transmitted, describing the symptoms and
treatments, and the preventative that
measures can be taken to insure against
contracting them,
continued on next page

A member of the colleges' Health
Services Staff explained what DVC offers
in the way of physical examinations,
treatment, counseling, and confidentiality.
He also shared some recent statistics: 1 4
cases of gonorrhea have been reported
on campus this semester alone. He
explained that these were probably not
the only cases, txit only those who were
aware that they had contracted the
disease. He urged any student who
thought they were at hsk to see someone
in the health center as soon as possible.

in an effort to bring reality into the
program and to show how quickly an
epidemic can spread, an actual
demonstration was performed by all
students in attendance. Each student
was given a small test tube with clear
liquid in it They were directed to
exchange fluids with other people. If the
fluid turned pink, it meant that they had
contracted the "disease." The
participants were able to trace the
"disease" all the way back to the original
carrier.

Most of the students left the program
with new-found knowledge, and said that
they would like to see more activities like
this one in the future.

Safer Sex

By: Adam Kaplan and Student Health
Services

The DVC Student Health Center
reminds students that they should start
any new relationship slowly.

if you plan to engage in sexual
activities as part of a relationship, learn
as much as possible about your partner,
and about his or her past sexual
experiences.

The best way to avoid contracting a
sexually transmitted disease (SID) is not
to have sex. If that is out of the question,
limit your sexual experiences. By

reducing the number of sexual
experiences, you reduce the odds of
contracting a sexually transmitted
disease.

Avoid any sexual practices that
involve contact with semen or vaginal
fluids. Think of what you can do rather
than what you can't. Share erotic
fantasies, hug, touch and play, etc.

If you are going to engage in sex,
here are a few safety pointers. Men
shoukl always wear a condom from the
beginning to the end of every sexual
encounter. No exceptions! Latex
condoms that are treated with
Nonoxynol-9, a spermicide, offer the
most protection. Women should always
use a diaphragm that is treated with
Nonoxynol-9. Due to the fact that
sexually transmitted diseases can pass
through the vaginal lining, a diaphragm
alone does not provide sufficient
protection. Men must still wear a
condom.

if you are involved in a sexual
relationship, it is the responsibility of both
partners to make sure that they are both
protected.

This article in no way condones
sexual activity; the safest way to avoid
STD is still abstinence.

Public Service

Announcement

By: MIkeJadis

Conveniently located in the Student
Center, the DVC school store offers
quality merchandise at competitive prices
in a friendly, helpful environment Mrs.
Kathleen Spratt, the store manager,
emphases the aspect of quality.'
Considerable effort has been spent on
providing an interactive and helpful
atmosphere.

"I try to keep our prices as
competitive as possible by shopping
around and pricing the competition", says

Mrs. Spratt Penn State and other
colleges sell licensed products for which
they pay substantial commissions; these
fees can tangibly increase the prices.
The DVC store's strategy is to maintain a
large quantity of merchandise in supply,
thus prices remain low. Sweat suits sell
for ten to twelve dollars less at the school
store than in other area stores.

Mrs. Spratt relates a story, "! was in
a sporting goods store at
Montgomeryvilie Mall when two Del Vai
students recognized me and said Tilings
are so expensive here'" She continued
by saying "We are very price conscious,
we try to maintain an inventory with
products in all price ranges. Sometimes,
that five or six dollars can make a big
difference."

The best selling items are always t-
shirts and sweat suits; the store now
retails the Champion brand name which
is selling well. Novelty items and gifts for
the alumni are also big sellers. Personal
care items are sold as well.

More than a convenience store, clubs
worthing in special projects can acquire
assistance from the store in obtaining
material that they may need which are
not always available. In short, the school
store and staff are a resourse that Del
Val students are encouraged to use. If
there are any items that the store
currently does not stock, ask Mrs. Spratt
to secure them for you. Thank you for
your past support!

Sexual Harassment
An Editorial

By: Adam Kaplan

Sexual Harassment is something that
no one should have to put up with.
Unfortunately, thi? type of harassment
not only affects the person to whom it is
directed, but also institutions and other

Continue on next page

people that are otherwise not involved.
Recently, I witnessed two instances of
what can be called sexual harassment on
our campus, and I think that they need to
be addressed.

The first instance of sexual harassment
happened as I was giving a
tour of the campus to a prospective
student and her parents. As is similar to
the instance discussed below a group of
guys whistled at the prospective student
in a way that was clearly not meant to be
a compliment, and actually sounded
provocative. Again, this whistling was
persistent. For the record, there was not
anyone else around to which the
whistling could have been directed. This
prospective student, and her parents,
were offended

For the past month or so, a
member of the faculty has been harassed
regularly when leaving her class. The
people that are doing the harassing are
students that are in the room for the next
period class. They whistle repeatedly at
the faculty memt&r, and it is not the type
of whistle that is meant to be a
compliment. The professor has tried to
talk to the students and express her
anger about the issue. Talking to them
did not work, as the whistling continues.
The head of the department was also
unsuccessful in dealing with the issue.

By repeating this form of harassment,
this group of students is showing a
severe lack of respect, sensitivity, and
maturity. In my mind and the minds of
other people familiar with the situation,
this type of whistling, after repeatedly
being asked to stop, is certainly not
meant to compliment, and is
unwarranted. Not ail women appreciate
being whistled at, and this group of
students is especially out of line in doing
this to a professor.

This experience has left a rather dark
impression of our college. One that had

been bright before all of this started.

As a Presidential Diplomat, I represent
this college. I am angry because all of
the work that all of the Diplomats do to
try to show the merits of Del Val can be
wiped away by one action such as this.
And unfortunately, I think this may be one
of them. Until this incident happened,
both the parents and their daughter
looked upon the college very favorably.
When they left, their impression was just
the opposite. My apologizes and efforts
to try to explain that this was not the
norm were not enough. This one event
had shaped their image of Del Val.

I'm not trying to say that all whistling
is bad. Whistling among friends and
people that you know well, if the
intentions are good, is fine. When the
whistle is directed at a person that you
do not know, and it does not have good
intentions behind it, such as with this
prospective student, it is wrong. When
the whistle is directed at a professor, a
person that should be respected, it is
wrong.

Maybe the hardest part of all of this is
that I know sexual harassment is not
common on our campus. But when it
does surface, the damage that is done is
irreparable. So the few guys that are
involved in this, how about stopping the
harassment It is hurting everyone not
just those involved

Girls Basket Ball Season
Comes to a Close

Coming into this 1990-91 season,
Del Val's women's basketball coach Gary
Pento knew his young squad would be
green an inexperienced, yet believed they
could make a run at a fourth straight
MAC - Northern Division playoff spot.
The Lady Aggies came through, posting
a 13-13 overall record and 6-4 mark in
the MAC-NE to capture second place in

the conference and give themselves a
shot at going for the gold and winning the
conference championship.

Playing with a roster consisting of
just nine players, including only one
senior and one junior, Del Val finished
out the year strongly, winning four of its
last five games to clinch a playoff spot
and finish out the regular season with a
winning record.

"I think our record doesn't
indicate how well we have played this
season, playing the tough schedule that
we did," said Pento. "For the kids to go
out and win four of ;their last five games
was a credit to the team itself, making
the playoffs by going out and earning it.
Hopefully, the tough schedule we played
will have them ready to play anyone in
the playoffs."

Leading the way for the lady
aggies all season has been servor guard
Karen Cummiskey, who tops the squad
with a 16.4 ppg scoring average. The
best three-point shooter on the team,
Cummiskey has connected on a team-
high 56 tries. She has led the team in
scoring in 14 of the 25 games, including
a career-high 27-point effort in a 63-58
win over FDU-Madison.

Sophomore fon/vard Andrea
Shumack joined the team at the start of
the second semester, after transferring
from Kutztown University, and provided a
big scoring and rebounding lift In 15
games, Shumack has scored at a 14.3
ppg clip, including a career-high 28 points
in an 87-66 win over Lycoming, while
hauling down 9.6 rpg. She leads the
team with 21 blocked shots and has been
to the foul line 84 times (55-84).

Sophomore Dawn Papciak has
come on strong since taking over the
starting center position six games ago.

Continue on next page

for the season, Papciak averaged 5.5
ppg and 5.4 rpg, but in her last five
games, she has contributed 13.6 ppg,
including a career-high 19 against
Upsala, and 10.0 rpg, including a career-
high 18 vs. FDU-Madison.

Sophomore point guard
Stephanie Armstrong has done a fine job
in running the Delaware Valley offense.
The team leader with 87 assists,
Armstrong can also put the ball in the
basket popping home 8.6 ppg, while
grabbing 5.9 rpg. Freshman Natasha
Upson backs up Armstrong at the point
guard spot, averaging 2.6 ppg and 1 .7
rpg in her rookie campaign.

A pair of freshmen, Melanle
Falkiewicz and Kelly Sdss share time at
the other starting fon/vard position.
Falkiewicz, the squad's defensive
specialist, has averaged 3.5 ppg and 3.4
rpg, while being matched up against the
opposition's top player on the defensive
end of the court Sciss, a starter in 16 of
the 25 games this year, is the team's
leading rebounded wilti 177, while
scoring at a 4.7 ppg clip.

Junior Stephanie Mason is also
a big force off the Lady Aggie bench at a
fOHA/ard position. In 20 games, Mason
has averaged 8.4 ppg and 3.9 rpg,
including an 18-point outing in an
overtime win over Upsala. Sophomore
center Pamela Ball missed the last six
games with a broken pinky finger on her

right hand.

DVC Wrestlers Excel in
MAC

With nine of ten wrestlers
winning medals, the Delaware Valley
College wrestling team rolled to its third
Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC)
Wrestling Championship in the past five

years and its fifth in school history at
Haverford College. The Aggies garnered
three individual titles and three second-
place finishers, as they accumulated
142.25 team points, which was nearly
forty points better than second-place
Lycoming (103.5).

"I was very happy with the way
the team wrestled at MAC'S," said
eighteenth-year coach Bob Marshall. 1
never expected to have nine medalists,
especially with ail of them placing in the
top five."

Senior Mark Ambrose, sophomore
Bemetri Kangas, and freshman Mike
Johnson all won individual championships
to receive automatic bids to the NCAA
Division Hi Wrestling Championships at
Augustanna College in Rock Island,
Illinois. Senior Bob Mokrynchuk will also
be after receiving an at-large bid from
MAC coaches.

Ambrose (25-0) captured his fourth
straight MAC title at 158 pounds by
rolling through the competition to earn the
Sam Spinelli Award for Outstanding
Wrestler for the second straight year. He
recorded two technical falls and two falls
in winning the title, including a fall over
Tony Spagnola of Westem Maryland at
4:42 in the finals. Ambrose is a three-
time All-Amehcan and has finished
second in the nation both his freshman
and junior years, while winning the 158-
pourid national title as a sophomore.

Kangas (22-3-1) earned his
second straight MAC Championship at
134 pounds be defeating previously
unbeaten Matt Silverstein of Muhlenberg
in the finals 10-4.

Wrestling in his first MAC
championship tournament, Johnson (23-
3-1 falls) was very impressive in winning
the 150-pound weight class. He rolled
through the first three rounds with three
falls in a total of five minutes, before

beating Moravian's Dave Yonney 5-4 in
the finals to capture his first MAC title.
Had it not been for the outstanding
performance by Ambose, Johnson could
have easily earned Outstanding Wrestler
honors

Mokrynchuk was thwarted in his attempt
to win a forth straight MAC championship
when de dropped a 6-3 decision to
Lycoming's Pete Solomon in the finals.
Mokrynchuk (25-2) still advanced to the
national tournament after receiving one of
four at-large bids fomi the MAC.
Solomon handed Mokrynchuk his only
other loss this season by a 7-5 score on
January 26th.

Senior Chuck McGrath and junior Dana
Pinson also came away with second
place medals at the MAC'S. Mcgrath (10-
5)lost out to Mike Ahem of Bizabetntown
in the 118-pound finals, 8-6, to complete
his wrestling career with the Aggies.
Pinsori (19-3-1), a two-timt MAC
champion at 1 1 8 pounds, lost in the 1 26-
pound final to Lycoming's Kurt Schneck
6-Z

Three freshmen came up big for the
Green and Gold in the upper weights and
earned medals in their first MAC
tournament.

Scott Coleman battled back from a
quarterfinal loss to capture a fourth place
medal at 177 pounds and finish the year
with a 9-7-1 record. Kurt Handel finished
fifth at 190 pounds after losing his first
round match and ended the year with a
14-10-2 mark. PauLcowderMinished
fourth at heavyweight after losing his
rookie season with a 12-14 record for the
Aggies.

Senior Chris Hoover lost two of his first
three matches at 167 pounds and was
eliminated from any medal contention.
His final record for the season was a 14-
9-2.

Till Next Time

From Security...

Welc(xne to Del Val to all students,
first time and returning! As we begin
the school year, there will be regular
articles published having to do with
vatious aspects of security.

All student parking is in lots "A" (by
the security office) and "C (behind
Bo-kowitz and Wolfsohn), between tte
yellow lines only. Vehicles must not be
parked on lawns, in fire lanes, (x any
areas not designated for parking. Stu-
dents may park in areas around the
dorms for a period of 15 minutes when
loadingAmloading heavy mat^al after
having notified securtiy of this. 4-way
flashers must be during this time.

It is important to remember the speed
limit on campus is 15 MPH and must be
observed. Pedestrian traffic on campus
is often heavy, and speed must often be
adjusted below that to accomodate pe-
destrians walking through the campus.

Regarding penalties for illegal park-
ing/driving, this normally takes the form
of fmes, although depending on the
nature and flagrancy of the violation,
the penalty may result in disciplinary
action or the vehicle being towed . Tow-
ing is an extreme measure, an unpleas-
ant situation for all concerned.

but it will be used when warranted.
In order to provide some extra pair-
ing facilities on some days^tudentt will
be permitted to park in the Segal lot
weeknights after 6KX) PM, and all day
Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
However, all student vehicles must be
moved from this 1(M by 7KX) AM each
working day. Vehicles not moved will
be towed.

This is a brief overall of the rules and
regulations for pa-king and driving.
Consult your Studoit Handbook or stop
in at the Security office anytime.

Editorial

Alcohol, Students, and Security

Here's the deal. It's Thursday evening. You, like many other people, are drinking
some beer. You go out of your room and start walking down the hall, can of beer
in hand. A security offico* happens to be walking through the dorm and notices the
can of beer in your hand. The officer reminds you that you can only drink in your
room.

I am going to set up two hypothetical, though very common situations that ocxur
at Del Val. In both situations, the student is of the legal drinking age.

Situation #1 : You are the person in the situation that is described above. Your
response to the officer's statement is something to the tune of, "You are right officer,
ril return the beer to my room." The officer leaves, you return the beer to your room,
and all is well.

Situation#2: Again, you are the person described in the caning paragn^jh.
Your response to the officer's statement hovers around, "I can drink my beer where
ever I like." The officer reminds you of the rules in the stiKlent handbook about the
alcohol policy. Maybe you've had a few beers ah-eady, are becoming a bit ai^iry.
and don't really want to be bothered with security. But you stand your ground, md
will not return your beer to the room. The officer is getting impatient with your
refusal to cooperate. Things snowball, you're yelling at each other, and the situation
turns ugly. Security writes you up for a violation of the alcdiol policy. You get a
notice from the Dean Of Students office to set up an appointment You know what
it's about.

Ok, we have two different, yet similar situations here. Both involve alcohol,
students, and security. One is resolved quickly, clamly, and acceptably to IxMh
parties. The other is not. In the second situation, the student, for whatever reasons,
will not abide by the officer's request and the college's policy. Security, doing what
they are supposed to do, writes up an incident report, and you get to go see the Dean.
No one is happy abcHit this. You, security, or the Dean.

Can the second situation be avoided? Absolutely! The outcome of this situation
is almost totally dependent on your acticms. If you are cooperative and keep a level
head, the officer should be satisfied. If you get angry and head-strcxig, you're going
to get written up.

Now I know sometimes the officer is the aggressor, and in the past it has
sometimes been the officer that has started some of the problems. If this happens
to you, just play it cahn, do what is asked of you, and the next day go and talk to the
manager of Security or the Dean. Remember here, the objective is to avoid
confrontations and bad feelings. Nobody wants them. With the new "Open Door
Policy" on campus, you can talk to one of the Deans about what happened. Security
is not there to harass us. The Dean of Students office is not there to harass us. The
way things are going to improve at Del Val is if they are talked about. The Deans
and Security want to work with the students to try to make things easier for everyone.

Getting back to my origional point,
I really think that 90% oi the time, it is
the student that will decede the outcome

We as students cm and should work

From The Library

" Apples and pears, apples
and pears,
A collection was started ,
By someone who cared."

And so it was that the Yakima Valley
Museum (Washington) (Stained its his-
torical collection of fruit box labels,
because one vdunteer noted interest by
visitors in some apple box labels casu-
ally placed within another exhibit.

Fruit box labels have ncH been used
since the 1940's when pikers switched
to cardboard boxes. But during the
wooden box era, e^h of the packing
houses had its own label. Every few
years, they would decide upm a new
one, or a variation of the old one. There
were about ISO packing houses in the
Yakima Valley prior to World War 11;
they accounted for prc^ably as many as
4000 different box labels. As collectors
seek them out, they are becomming
scarcer.

The library will have a sampling of
colorful apple and pear box labels in
their exhibit cases frnn August 28 until
October IS. Our thanks to librarian
Karen Byrne, formerly of Washington,
for loaning her unique collection.

Bio Department
Gets Federal Grant

Some Del Val students may soon be
conducting graduate level physiology
experiments wiUi Dr. Richard Mulstay.
The National Science Foundation
gave the college a grant of $6800 to
apply towards the purchase of a com-
puter and software that will allow the
students in Mulstay's human physiol-
ogy and comparative [^ysiology classes
to to track and stwe nerve impulses.

The Science Foundation grant

IS part of a matdimg grant, which
means that the college will need to
contribute $6800 for the computer and
sdtware. Mulstay says that a campaign
to solicit contributions from alumni is
being organized at the present time.
Mulstay also hopes to be able to
purchase a printer and equipment to
convot the numerically stored inpulses
back into a picture on the color monitor.
The system should be in use by January.
Del Val was one of 6S0 institutions
that received a prnt out of 2200 that
applied. Herbot Levitan, a director of
theN.SP.programinWashington,D.C.,
said th^ receiving a grant "..j-eflects
well on the su{^)ort that the institution is
giving to scuneone who has good ideas.

RamPages, the Delaware Valley
College Student Newspaper, has reor-
ganized and is looking to begin regular
bi-weekly production next semester.

A willing and energetic new staff
has many ideas for ways to make the
Rampages fun, interesting, infOTmative,
and valuable to Delaware Valley

College. As befcne wittt the newspaper,
we need students to lend a helping hand
to help us acheive our goals.
The staff needs writers, photogra-
phem, and all other types of contributers.
Students that are active within the Ram-
Pages will evn an extra credit per year.
Anyone may contribute material to tlK

R^nPages, and future issues will have
guidelines for submitting material.
A campus new^aper is vital to
good communication and interest
within the college. We are asking for
the help and support of the student
body to insure that the RamPages will
remain an entity within Del Val.

Graduate School??

By Dr. Robert Berthoid Jr.

During one of our Annual Career
Days, I had the opportunity of spending
quite a bit of time with 1>. Roger Lo-
candro, a Cook (Agricultural branch of
Rutgers University) Dean. During this
time, we spoke with a number of our
students. I was surprised to find out
how many of them had no idea as to how
to finance a graduate education.
In the case of Liberal Arts majors -
including those majoring in Business
and related fields - most students have
to fmance their own graduate educa-
tions. It is true, however, that many
business graduates receive fmancial
assistance from employers to
help underwrite much or all
of their graduate educations.

Financing a graduate education is
frequently a different matter for those
students majoring in Agriculture and in
many of the sciences. Many graduate
school departments offer research as-
sistantships and/or teaching assistant-
ships to academically qualified students,
often with a "B" average being enough
to qualify. Presently, graduate assis-
tance is averaging about $10,000 per
year, plus tuition being waved. All
assistance is often tax exempt.
Many of the students who Dr. Lo-
candro and 1 initally spoke with, said
that they couldn't afford to go on to
graduate school after the high costs
involved with their undergraduate edu-
cation. However, opportunities for

AIDS in Bucks County

Second in a series: HIV Counseling and Testing

"As reported earlier this month, if the
(Hesent trend continues, there will be
more AIDS cases reported in Bucks
County residents in 1991 than in any year
since the epidemic began," according to
Lewis D. Polk, M.D., M.P.H.. Bucks
County Health Department Director.

"We are again strongly rec(Nnmend-
ing that those whose sexual or needle
sharing behaviw has placed them at risk
few HIV, the vims which causes AIDS,
seek counseling and testing for HIV in-
fection." announced Polk.

Free and anonymous counseling and
testing is available at the Doylestown
(345-3894) and Bristol (788-0491) clin-
ics of the county health (kpartment. Those
who are or have been at risk should
seriously consider counseling and test-
ing. Early detection can result in treat-
ments that may prolong the length of
time before symptoms of AIDS develop.
Those who have engaged in unsafe sex

practices , have had multiple partners,
or those who have shared needles in
drug use are at ri^ for HIV infection.

Although a pason who is infected
may go years without developing
symptoms, the vims can be detected
through the test within 6 months cnt less
from the time of infection. Since
various treatments, available locally,
are prolonging the period of no ^ynq)-
toms, it is in the interest of thme
who have been at risk to
seek counseling and testing.

What we are experiencing is the
development of symptoms in growing
numbers of persons who woe infected
with HIV at various points in the
1990's, according to local health de-
partment staff. There may be as many
as 30(X) individuals infected with HTV
in Bucks County.

"AIDS patients and HIV infected

Polk. Nationally, there is m imrtase in

is reflected in dramatic increases
among women and infants born
to HIV infected women.

"We want all residents of Bucks to
be informed dbmt the reality of HIV /
AIDS in Bucks County and how to

said the local health department direc-
Ux, "and we eq)ecially urge those whose

Food For Thought: "What
Makes an Effective Leader?"

By President George West

What is leadership? Much has been
written, many theories advanced about
what qualities make a good leader.
Early thinkers on the subject of lead-
ership believ^ that certain traits were
common to leaders. Often the list in-
cluded being ambitious, assertive, deci-
sive, dominant, energetic, and self con-
fident. Others, however, argue that
there is no broad category of character-
istics that all leaders possess, rather
that different situations require
different leadership characteristics.

One part of the leadership puzzle is
not open to doubt. To be a leader one
must have followers. You have no
power to lead if no one follows. So what
does it take to get others to follow
your lead? Where does the power
to lead come from?

It is certainly not clear that certain
traits or situations will always create
leadership power.

Rather the pow^ to lead is given to the
lea(ter by the followo^ when the leader
meets the needsof the followers. Meet-
ing follower's needs is the key to lead-
ership.

An effective leader attempts to ful-
fill the follower's needs; when the fol-
lowers no longer get their needs met,
they stop following, the leader is inef-
fective and is no longer a leader.

Not to oversimplify, leadership /
followership is a vay complex subject.
Leaders must be vCTy perceptive to
identify needs; leaders may attempt to
create needs, form other's opinions and
manipulate the relationship. Some
have vision to make followers
aspire to needs that they have not
yet identified. Others may
"play to" less laudable instincts.

What makes an effective leader?
Meeting followers' needs - as simple
and as complex as that answer is.

Cultural Enrichment Still A Requirement

The office of the Dean of the College
has received a number of telephone
calls concerning whether or not Cul-
tural Enrkhment is still part of the Core
Curriculum. As stated on page 26 of the
199 1 - 1 992 D VC Catalog under the de-
Kription of LA4038 Cultural Enrich-
ment, "...This is a required component
of the college's Core Curriculum."
The basic requirement is that a stu-
dent must select and attend 14 cultur-
ally enriching events during their stay at
DVC. Students are required to present
I.D. and sign in when attending an event
in order to gain credit. This program is
administered by the Liberal Arts De-
partment Chairman Dr. Ziemer. There
is a list of approved events published
each month and special announcements
are also made. (Editors nrte: C.E. events
listings are stapled to Student

Government minutes each month.)
There is a committee that will consider
any request to have an event listed as
culturally enriching. Special events,
both on and off campus, will be consid-
ered. Please contact Dr. Ziemer if you
have any questions regarding the re-
quirement or a particular event.
Special Notice: Students planning
to graduate this May must have fulfilled
this Core Curriculum requirement.
Please be absolutely sure with Dr. Zi-
emer that credit for the course has been
forwarded to the RegsUTU"'s Office so
your records are complete.

The only change in the Core Cur-
riculum since last year is the elunina-
tion of DVC Orientation.

Editorial

AIDS-Thls time, lete take It seriously

The afternoon of November 6, 1991 brought unexpected
and tragic news to the citizens of the United States. Magic
Johnson, the Los Angeies Loiters star player, and a roie
model for many, many people, announced in a news confer-
ence that he had contracted the H.I.V. virus and was retiring
from professional basl(etbaii and would become a spolcesman
for the AIDS issue.

Magic Johnson, a wonderfully articuiate person, a star
both on and off the court, and a person loolced up to by mil-
lions of peopie, has contracted a virus that proves fatal to all
infected with it. Fortunately, Magic has not yet developed the
onset of AIDS, and will work hopefully for many years to
come on educating the public on the dangers of HIV / AIDS,
and how the disease can be prevented.

For all that scientists do not know about the HIV / AIDS
virus, they do know how to prevent It. Why does it take a
tragic event like this to wake up the American public? Many,
many people still l)elieve that AIDS Is a disease that only
Infects homosexuals and IV drug users. Wrong. The fact is
that the fastest growing group of people infected with the HIV
virus are middle-class heterosexuals between the ages of 18-
30.

We know how to prevent the spread of AIDS. So why do
people keep getting infected? Why Is unprotected sex still
the norm? Why do people still use dirty needles? Is it be-
cause people think it won't happen to them? Is It that they
don't care?

The American public first woke up to the issue of AIDS
with the death of actor Rock Hudson some years back. But
the generally accepted consensus was that he died from AIDS
because he was homosexual. AIDS was talked about for a
while, the media got tired of it, and the American public forgot
about it. Now, many years later, with M^ic Johnson's story
the hot news item, AIDS is in the forefront of American con-
versation. Again. But this time, the victim is a happily married
man. A person that something like this was "not supposed
to" have happened to. Will anything be different this time
around? Will peopie pay attention and change their habits?

It Is time to take the HIV / AIDS issue seriously. Not just
talk about it for a few weeks, but do something about it. It's
time for people to protect themselves and their partners, and
to educate themselves and their friends. Until scientists
come up with a vaccine, and that is not expected for at least
eight years, individuals must stop the spread of AIDS. If
people don't take AIDS seriously, the next victim may be you.

the first Philadelphia suburb to begin
operation of the 911 Emergency ser-
vice. No longer is it necessary to dial

phone, and the subscribers name. This
enhanced system provides the neces-
sary information for individuals that
may ncM be able to communicate, and
will cut down an prank calls.

The $500,000 annual cost of the
system will be paid for by a monthly
$1.25 telephone surcharge beginning in

UFO Sighted Over Water Tower!

What an assignment! I wk asked to
inve^igate a repented UFO sighting
over the Mandeli Hall Water Tower,
and against my better judgement, took
the seemingly ridiculous case.

The reported sightings were called
into Security in the early morning hours
of November 21, the night of the full
moon. Security played them off as

(M^nk calls, but when their new Caprice
started to levitate, they didn't take it so
lightly.

When it came time to interview the
officers, there were none to be found.
The next step, finding the persons who
reported the sightings, proved much
easier, although the students who saw the
UFO would divulge their stories only

under the condition of anonymity.

Ttwy reported the craft hovering
above tte tower as being neon green
and yellow in color, and shaped like a
cow's udder. Students reported a light
humming sound before it transformed
into what resembled a Budweiser can,
and disappeared into the moonlit ^y.

Adopt-A-Highway

By J«n Orlowsky

The Environmental Awareness Club
here at Del Val College is making ar-
rangements to adopt a portion of a high-
way and the club wants YOU to get
involved.

Under the Adopt-A-Highway pro-
gram, a volunteer group agrees to be-
come a special caretaker of a two-mile
section of state highway for a two-year
period. Each group signs an agreement
with PennDOT promising to pick up
litt^ on the designated highway seg-
ment at least four times a year. In return.
PennEHDT will post signs along the
adopted section of highway acknowl-
edging the group.

The segment the club is seeking to
adopt is the two-mile stretch from Me-
morial Drive to Samly Ridge Road. This
segment runs directly in front of our
college. .Come join us. Anyone inter-
ested can get in contact with the club

AIDS in Bucl(s County

Third In A Series: Profile of An Infected Student

Joe (not his real name) is a 21 year old college senior majoring in business
administration. Joe is a 21 year old college student living with AIDS. He was
diagnosed in the second semester of his junior year. In 1987, Joe tested positive for
HIV and in the intervening years has lost 48 pounds. Since 1987 his medical bills
have exceeded $ 190.000. When he graduates in June he will be dropped from the
insurance program provided by Joe's father's employer. Joe hopes to get a job with
a good health insurance plan, but he knows he will have an uphill battle gettii^ a
job, much less insurance coverage.

Joe grew up in Montgomery County and lives in Bucks County. As a high school
student Joe and his buddies celebrated their athletic victories with beer blasts, and
since girls were often there, "one thing often led to another." Joe claims he was a
party animal but that he always socialized with "the right group - the in crowd."
When he was 16, Joe allowed oral sex to be performed by another male just to see
what it was like. He decided same-sex encounters weren't for him and never
involved himself in such behavior again.

Del Val College students who are sexually active must assume that their partner
could have had previous contacts and would probably NOT know the particular sex
and drug history of every person with whom they were intimate. Honest and frank
communication with a prospective sexual partner is a must. And even so, protection
should be used to protect the health of both partners. A latex condom with a
spermicide is the best way, barring abstinence, to prevent the spread of sexually
transmitted diseases; HIV being incurable for the foreseeable future.

Joe is not asking for sympathy, but he hopes high school and college age
individuals will learn from his predicament and take steps to protect their lives from
the ravages of AIDS.

Your Body Under
Stress!!

By Tina Demenczuk

What is this thing called stress? Is it
an unpleasant feeling, or is it the thing
that causes the feeling. It is the effect
of fear, pain, anxiety, and yes FINAL
EXAMS! There is no one thing called
stress, there are only different kinds of
stress.

Stress happens anytime we must adjust
or adapt to the changing environment.
It is not always caused by unpleasant
events such as: work pressures, marital
problems, or financial troubles. It can
also be caused by pleasant activities
such as; travel, sports, a new job, moun-
tain climbing, or even dating. Your
body's suess reaction causes the same
nervous system arousal , called the auto-
nom ic nervous system (ANS ), that hap-
pens during emotion. For example, say
it was your first time skiing and your
friends talked you into skiing down
suicide mountain. At the top of this
wind-whipped, 90 deg. slope you would
feel stressed; and we would observe a
rapid surge in your heart rate, blood
pressure, breathing, muscle tension, and
other ANS responses. These types of
short term stresses can be uncomfort-
able; however, they rarely do suiy dam-
age (depending on how you got down
the slope!). On the other hand, long-
term physical changes that accompany
prolonged stress can do much harm.

Lack of predictability and (M^ssure
can add to stress which can then become
a strain on your body and interfere with
normal immune system functions. Pres-
sure happens when activities must be
speeded up, when deadlines must be
met, when extra work is added unex-
pectedly, or when a person has to work
near maximum capacity for Imig peri-
ods of time (we all know what pressure
is). How about surviving im 18 credit
semester with papers— quizzes— tests-

-and finals, while wortcing two jobs?!
Talk about stress? Did you ever wwider
why you seem to get a cold right around
finals week? People generally fieelmoie
stress in situations over which they have
little control. Chronic stress sometimes
leads to burnout, which is a type of
emotional exhaustion.

What about frustration? External
frustrations come from conditi(Mis out-
side of the person that block progress
toward a goal. It is based on delay,
failure, rejection, loss, or wything that
can directly block a motive. Repeated
frustrations can build up until a small
irritation triggers an unexpect^y vio-
lent re^mnse. Sound familiar? Con-
flict is another common stressor. It al-
most always happens whenever a per-
son must choose between incompatible
or contradictory needs, desires, wishes,
motives, (m* external demamls. Choos-
ing between marriage and single life,
college and wcmIc, or study and failure,
are conflicts most college students face
sometime in their career.

Ok. so what really happens to your
body during any stressful situation?
Many people find it hard to believe that
the mind can be a major factor in caus-
ing or curing disease. No one doubts
that mental stress can cause physical
symptoms, but few people know how
stress actually works. Science recog-
nizes stress as a {rfiysiological chain
reaction. Both the nervous system and
theendocrine glands are involved. This
respond is triggered by the brain when-
ever it faces a situation it perceives as
demanding, unpleasant, and/or threat-
ening. Nowadays, a stress reaction is
brought on by less physically threaten-
ing events than b^k in the history of
man — from the squeak of chalk on a
blackboard to losing a job.

No matter whstt actually causes the
stress, this is what happens, starting
from the top: When you are faced with
an uncomfortable situation, tte hypo-

What's Coming Up In The RamPages

Next semester the RamPages will start to take shape as a
jcampus newspaper of which everyone at Del Vat can k>e
proud. To everyone at Delaware Valley College we make this
promise: The staff of the RamPages will strive to make the
paper t>etter than it has ever been in the history of the college.

in the Issues starting next semester, the RamPages will
start a student classified section, Dear Aggie column, per-
sonal / message column, and of course new local advertising.
In addition, there will be a health /fitness / nutrition column, a
Isection dealing with campus crime, and a monthly column
from President West. The paper will continue to provide
Information on H.I.V. / AIDS.

This Issue is a first for the RamPages in two ways. First,
our lead story entitled "UFO Sighted Over Water Tower!",
shows our willingness to mix humorous campus satire with
the material normally associated with a campus paper. This
story should be taken In no other way than as a funny satire.
We would like to have fun with the paper, and make it fun for
you. Secondly, the third installment of our AIDS series,
entitled "Profile of an Infected Student," shows that the Ram-
Pages will continue to spotlight and provide current and
accurate information on the problem of AIDS. To stop any
rumors before they may start, the profiled student Is not a Dei
Val graduate or a current Del Val student.

We would like to remind everyone that anybody can submit
material to the newspaper. Do you have an idea of something
that you'd like to see in the RamPages? Are you concerned
about something on campus? We'd like to know! The Ram-
Pages can be reached at PO Box 917, or you could leave a
message on our machine at extentlon 2238. If requested, fuJI
confidentiality will be maintained. We need your help and
Input to become the best that we can.

The staff of the RamPages wishes everyone In the Del Val
Ifamilv a safe and hapov holidav season.

UFO Sighting

Continued from Front Page

In all honesty, this reporter was a little
^eptical upon receiving this assign-
ment. But I set out to And what 1 could,
(M* rather couldn't.

The nrst place I started was La^^
Hall. I thought that I'd put an end to
these silly sightings by getting some
logical input from the "Top Dogs." On
what would normally be a busy Monday
morning at Lasker, I expected to find
many authoratative figures who would
make sense out of this unexpected event.
To no avail, the building was deserted
and all its occupants had mysteriously
disappeared. Kind of funny. 1 thought.

My next mission was to contact the
campus Star Trek Club for their Enter-
prising expertise. Based on the color
and shape of the craft, they concluded
that this ship came from the udderly
distant planet of Bovine, located in the
galax y of Hopps & Barley .

My final frontier was to go where no
student has gone before. I dared to
approach the new elliptically shaped-
dorm in front of Work Hall, and caught
up with a student com ing out. It did not
appear to be your typicalD VC stu(tent.
My assumption was he had just had
dinner in the dining hall because he
looked kind ofgreen and sick. I couldn't
understand a word he said as he turned
and ran back inside, obviously startled
by my presence.

1 decided to let it go and report my
fmdings, and ask you, our loyal readers,
if you have seen anything out of the
ordinary to report it to the RamPages
Bureau of Strange and Unusual Events
at PO Box 917, 6r 345- 1500 ext. 2238.
By the way. if anycMie knows what
happened to that new dorm, please let

How are Cars

Made? The Ford

Pilgrimage

8y Gary Ncffgrdorf

On the mcmiing of the 14th of No-
vember, a pilgrimage was made to one
of America's last industrial manufac-
turing facilities, the Ford assemMy plant
in Edison, N J.

The plant which (opened in January
1948 has produced such autos as the
LincoliVMercury, the FalconAi^omet,
and the EscortA^ynx. However, this
plant is most noted for the building of
the famous FordMustang, between 1965

and 1971.

In all, 33 students of Mr. Simone's
(voducUon class went on tour of the 77
acre site. At the Fwd plant students
woe exposed to the assembly line pro-
cess that is currently jntxlucing the Ford
Ranger pickup.

Mr. Fr»l Monzilla, the tour guide,
explained the assembly line process to
DVC students starting with the spray
paintingoperation. In the painting booth
students were abte to view the Behr
S|»By robots effortlessly moving and
changing positions to cover the new
trucks with a primer coat of paint.

Next, Mr. Monzilla showed the stu-
dents anotho- realm in which robotics
were used; the body area. It was in the
body area where the DVCcts saw the
untiring motion and fireworks display
of robotic spot welders as they con-
structed the cab and bed of the Ranger.

Mr. Monzillo, with the encourage-
ment of students, then entered the trim
and chassis department. He explained
that it was in this section that the chassis
is assembled with all of the necessary
cwnponents that makeup the Ranger. It
is along this line that the engine, tires,
trananission, muffler, and gas tank are
installed.

During the tour, Mr. Monzillo kept
stressing the point that quality is the
concern of each individual in the as-
snnbly plant.

To ensure that every truck received
its proper attention a stop button was
installed at every station. By hitting the
button a worker has the ability to stop
the line, for one minute, in order to
correct a problem. Another interesting
aspect concerning quality was the phi-
losophy, that every truck, no matter
where it was located in the process,

belonged to a specific individual some-
where in America.

The tour ended with our students
watching a new Ford Ranger rolling off
the line and passing through its func-
tional testing every 60 seconds. Not one
of the trucks failed to start as it passed by
our students' keen eyes.

COMMUTER NEWS

When the semester began there was
not much representation for the com-
muter population. Presently we have
six active reps who are doing a remark-
able job for you. It has taken us time to
organize and reach you, but now we are
on the move. We have taken your
concerns or ideas and either acted on
them or referred you to somebody who
could. A few of our accomplishments

are: daily use lockers in the game room,
better parking, a suggestion box, and a
pizza social. We are presently working
on several other ideas like another com-
muter social and a SPRING BREAK ski
trip to Killington Vt.

Your responses have generally been
very good, but in order for us to work for
you we need your continued input and
support. These are some of the best
years of your life. It is up to you to make
them so. We can only help. You have
the chance to be different and do things
you never have done before. So wake
up and smell the coffee. Get Involved !

There are activities you may have
never thought of trying, such as being
on the Ram-Pages, the Business Club,
Blockand Bridle, the Outdoors Club, or
the Environmental Club. So go for it.
give one or two a try. There are over
thirty different clubs on campus. They
are not time consuming, but be careful.

they tend to be educational and FUN.
There is also much in it for you such as
free food, free trips to new and exciting
places, new friends(of thesameand,not
to mention, the opposite sex), and pos-
sibly a few connections in the job indus-
try of your fieW of study. Remember,
"Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained."

Fires: No Joke"

By Norm Lies, Campus Fire Marshall

Recently DelVal has had several
incidents of trash can fires and false fire
alsffms. Regarding accidental ignition
of contents of trash cans, please be
careful of whitt you are putting into such
a container. Smokers, be careful that
cigarettes are completely out, or better
yet, use containers with sand specifi-
cally for cigarette disposal.

Stress-From page two

thalamus, which is in thecenter of your
forebrain, releases a chemical called
corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH).
This hormone tells the nearby pea-sized
pituitary gland to release adrenocorti-
cotropic hormone (ACTH). The ACTH
then trots on down to the adrenal glands
that are located atop the kidneys and
tells them that the body needs a pick-
me-up. So the adrenals pump corticoid
and adrenal ine hormones into the blood-
stream. The most important of these
hormones is Cortisol (hydrocortisone)
because it increases sugar levels in the
blood. Stress causes the adrenals to
release 20x the usual amount of Corti-
sol. The process pulls amino acids
(which are the building blocks of pro-
teins) out of storage in the muscles and
other tissues, helps to move them into
the liver, and there speeds their conver-
sion into the much needed glucose (a
sugar needed for energy). Within the
brain, corticoid and adrenaline act as
nerve cell stimulants. All of this pre-
pares the body for an internal war to aid
in defense by mobilizing supplies. In
other words, it is a full-circle (feedback)
process which puts our whole body and
brain on instant red-alert!

Hormones are an essential part of
our defense mechanism, but many of
the stresses in civilized life do not re-
quire a physical response. The indis-
criminate release of hormones that are
not really needed may have adverse

(X)nsequences for health. Stressful situ-
ations can also reduce the body's natu-
ral defenses against diseases. They can
influence the immune system by sup-
pressing the body's built-in killer cells,
the defenders against invading infec-
tions, resulting in— the finals weeic cold
syndromel

The body also has a kind of back-up
siystem. The situation is called stress-
induced analgesia, a pain relief that
results from extreme stress. In other
words— the runner's high, or an injured
soldier's relief euphoria. The explana-
tion for this is that the brain can make its
own opiates. These pain relievers and

mood elevators are called endorphines
and enkephalins. Both are very similar
to morphine— but much more power-
ful! The |m>blem with this back-up
system is that most of the time the
body's natural narcotics are not trig-
gered unless under conditions of ex-
treme stress.

OK. Last question— is all stress bad?
Hans Selye. the Canadian physician
who first developed the concept of stress
and stressors, believed that stress often
provides the motivation and the energy
needed to achieve success. Anxiety
about your GPA and graduate school
may push you to study more, and yes-
-the fear of poor gndcs can bring on the
parental stress that may rouse success in
some students. In spite of all this, don't
worry, if you are fit. and nothing else is
seriously wrong in your life, you can
probably handleagoodamountof frus-
tration, delay, unfairness, misfortune
etc.with no problem. Find a safe and
constructive way to vent your everyday
stressors. It does help! (jOODLUCK

A Better line-up
tills Season

By Jen Nickels

With winter on its way, the basket-
ball team at Delaware Valley College
blows in. This season promises mwe
excitement and skill than the previous
year.

The team practices six days a week,
Sunday through Friday from either 4-6
or 6-8. The Players expect that there
will be a definite improvement in their
skill and competitiveness this season.

The returning players say that the
new freshman recruits are looking
good and have a lot of talent. FixKn what
1 have seen I believe it will be difficult
for them to pick a starting line-up due to
the promising new talent.

The team has its first tournament
this Friday at Widner University. We
wish the men's varisity basketball team
good luck for a first victory this season.

What is a sciiool newspaper? It's a
vehicle for you, the students, to com-
municate your ideas and concerns to
your peers as well as ihe administra-
tion and faculty. It is a repon written
to inform you of campus activities,
events, gossip, and general news within
the campus community. The paper is
a way for clubs and groups to advertise
for members and to infomi of events
and trips. Overall, a college newspa-
per is the nucleus of the campus. It is
what all students should center on to
become involved and informed. A
%hool paper can be a catalyst for an
active campus environment.

At present, the RamPages is going
tlvough some major changes. Our
goal is to be informative, interesting,
creative, and entertaining. In order to
do this and satisfy the campus needs,
we need an active staff. Active contri-
bution from members of the campus is
what makes an exciting paper and an
exciting paper can lead to an exciting

Smith Remembered

(lOAgg 1930 -24 Jan 1992)

When I look back upon Uic last 18
years of teaching here at DVC, one
thought comes to mc: I was glad of ilic
presence of Sally Smith, on campus.
She made it a better place. She was. .'uid
is, a source of con\lort to me.

-Edw;u"d O'Brien. Jr.

A Dedicated Teacher

I appreciated Sally's sincerity luid

IV.'uikness; she never dodged .'ui issue

or a debate.

Dr. Rich:ud Ziemer

We ;ue all saddened by the passing
ot Sally Smith. She was a valued mem-
ber ol ihe English Dept. Faculty since
1972. Sally si;uied in 1972 when il was
die General Studies Division.

Sally w;is a dedicated teacher who
always had time for her students. One
of her fomicr students on learning of
her death said. "HI never forget her,
she was the one wlio taught. me how to
wriic".
1

No matter what private battles Sally
was fighting, she always had a smile or
hello for you.

A Word For Sally

Robert Frost said that courage was the
greatest of all virtues because, withbut it,
no one would have the strength to attain
any oUier virtues. Sally was one of the
most courageous people I have ever
known, not least in her long battle with
cancer. She always said what she be-
lieved, never backed down from a fight,
and, when defeated, left the field upright
imd whole. Others followed her because
of this quality. This is rare; it will be
missed; she will be remembered.

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor.

I am responding to "Profile of An Infected Student ". I feel that a more appropriate
scenario could have been provided. The issue of the student, Joe. having a same-
sex encounter only once when he was 1 6 and not engaging in "such" a behavior again
implies he coniraaed tlie AIDS virus through homosexual contact, even though the
probability of contracting HIV through oral sex (especially if received) has the least
risk. This article only enforces the myiii that AIDS is a gay disease. It is not! The
rale of heicrosexuids wiiii AIDS has jumped 40% within just one year, not to mention
the number infected with HIV.

Statistics say that 10% of the population in the United States identify themselves
as homosexual, so look around because that means at least 100 people on this campus
are gay. The simple fact that the editorial had to add a "disclaimer" about the profiled
student in order to stop rumors shows just how small minded people on this campus
are, including faculty and^staff. The key to overcoming these prejudices is through
education ,so I hope everyone attends the AIDS seminar on January 29 at 7:00 PM
in the A.P.R. 1

Name with held upon request
Editors Note:

Those who ;uc knowledgeable about ADS know that in this case p-ofile, there
is no way the student could have contracted the disease through the 'same-sex '
encounter, especially since he was on the receiving end. This was corroborated by
the Bucks County Depaiiment of Health's AIDS Education Director. Chris Whitney
(who incidentally spoke at the AIDS seminar on January the 29th.). In this case
profile, the student contracted the disease through heterosexual contact.

This issue was discussed by the editorial board before publication, and it was
unanimously decided to print the profile as it appeared. We do not feel the article
implies the student contracted AIDS through the same sex-encounter, or errforces the
myth Uiai AIDS is a gay disease. The three previous installments of "AIDS InBucks
County" have dealt exclusively with education on ways to preveni the spread of
heterosexual AIDS. Until the Scminiu on January 29, the RamPages had been the
only source ol AIDS education on campus. We applaud Dean Phyllis Sheilds for
orgiuiizing ilie prognuii on AIDS, and hope to continue seeing programs of this sort.
Anyone wishing more information on HIV / ADDS should contact the Bucks County
Department of HealUi at 345-3318.

Welcome Back
Warmng;

Alcohol and Drinking Gunes

The Collegiate Journal

Welcome back! The campus is alive
wiih exp«;taiions and excitement for a
new semester. Since classes have just
begun, there is little work and lots of free
time to socialize with new friends and
get reacquainted with old ones. When
people come together at this time of the
year, they often consume liuge ;unounis
of alcohol. At parties, tailgates .-uul
reunions, or before going out, drinking
games are usually played since they
intoxicate quickly and heavily. Unfor-
tunately, this {n^ctice sometimes ends
in tragedy. , '

Students are motivated to drink for
different reasons. In a recent study by
Ian Newman, Ph.D., at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln, 64 percent of stu-
dents said drinking made it easier to
socialize. Freshman participated in
heavy alcohol consuming games nearly
twice as often as the rest of tlie campus,
suggesting that drinking games helped
them overcome difficulties in esiiiblish-
ing new relationships. Drunkenness in-
hibits whatever makes socializing dif-
ficult, and meeting the opposite sex
seems easier at a party scene.

A second motive for excessive drink-
ing is simply to gel oneself or someone
else drunk. In the Nebraska study. 92
percent reported playing drinki ng giuiies
"to get drunk" and "to do it quickly."
And 75 percent played drinking games
to intoxicate someone else; one-tliird
specifically had designs on the opposite
sex.

Observing college parties, research-
ers found that both male and female
game-players drank approxihiately one
and a half 12 ounce beers in 1 5 minutes-
equaling an intoxicating six beers an
hour. Female nongame-players drank
only one-third a beer, while male non-

Alcohol (continued from page 3)
players drank half a beer in the same 15
minute period. Clearly, drinking games
markedly increase alcohol consump-
tion, which in turn increases the risk for
serious problems.

Women seem to place themselves at
special risk by excessive drinking ;uid
using drinking games as ;in aid for
socializing, especially considering the
increased incidence of date rape, preg-
nancy, and sexually uansmiiied dis-
eases associated with drunkenness. The
Nebraska study found women tended to
increase their consumption more Uian

men while engaging in drinking games-
double jeopardy, considering women
are more vulnerable to alcohol's toxic
effects due to biochemical differences
thai don'i allow alcohol digestion in
tlieir stomachs. Nevertheless, anyone is
at risk.

Every college student knows that
the consequences of excessive drinking
include nausea/vomiting, "the spins,"
staggering, stupor and severe harigovers.
But there are other more serious conse-
quences. On college campuses, alcohol
is involved in two-thirds of all violent
behavior, half of all physical injuries
and one-third of all academic and emo-
tional problems. Unfortunately, alco-
hol causes lower inhibitions and greater
emotional swings, creating a state where
people take healtii-threatening risks.
"Beer-goggling" with previously un-
known partners has resultKl in unwanted
pregnancies and sexually U"an.smitted
diseases, including herpes. HIV, and
AIDS. Inebriated students have died or
been maimed in auto accidents or step-
ping in from of subways and cars, fall-
ing from buildings, bridges and trees,
and choking on vomit. The occurrence
of alcohol -related deaths juid serious
injuries remains exucmely high. Every
ye;u- :uioihcr siudcni wiili everyiJiing to
live for ends up on iJie obituary page.

If you choose to drink alcohol, drink
it responsibly. Know your limits, and
sip a drink slowly over a long period of
time. Eating food while drinking slows
the absorption of alcohol, butsalty foods
like chips, pretzels, cheese and pizza
will also make you thirstier. Avoid
suaighi shots of liquor iuid "chugging"
beer. If your group is raveling by car,
appoint a designated driver, be firm in
your decision not to drink.

When you find yourself in a situa-
tion where someone has consumed ex-
cessive amounts of alcohol, there are a
few guidelines to follow. Never argue
with a diunk or be judgmental, but help
decrease the person's ini.ike and dis-
courage him or her from taking unnec-
ess;u7 risks. If ilie individual needs to
vomii, ihc silling position with liic head
down is appropriate. II tiic person has
passed out or wiuiis lo lie down, lying on
tlie right side is best. This promotes
emptying of ilie stomach luid protects

the airways if he or she vomits. Never
lie a drunk person on the back, since he
or she might aspirate stomach contents
into lungs. Always loosen tight clothing
around the neck and waist, and do not
leave an intoxicated person alone. Most
important, seek medical help if ihc'pcr-
son is seriously intoxicated. You'drather
see your friend wake up with a saeam-
ing hangover than not at all.

Sign of the Times

Beginning in Spring '92, the Arbore-
tum will be embarking on an exciting
new signage and relabeling {nvgram.
According to Arboretum Director Dr.
John Martin, current embossed metal
labels will continue to be used across
the Arboretum collections, however,
these will shortly be joined by new
easy -to- read engraved display labels.
A recently purchased machine will
allow in-house production of weather-
proof plastic labels which will help
make Henry Schmieder Arboretum
collections even more useful educa-
tionally and horticulturally. The Ar-
boretum is also in the process of pur-
chasing a new sign-making system.
This sign construction system will al-
low the Arboretum to create informa-
tional, identification and directional
signage to aid visitors in better utiliz-
ing and enjoying the Arboretum. The
new signage should be visible by the
summer of '92. Photoengraved labels
and signs used to designate d^ication
and memorials in the Arboretum will
continue to be used, and the Arbore-
tum hop^ to increase the use of tl^se
highly educational labels.

The objective of the Arboretum is
that all plants in the collection will be
labeled with a metal embossed collec-
tions label, and in addition, either an
engraved plastic display label or a
photoengraved dedication label. Fur-
thermore, the Arboretum hopes to have
signage which identifies all of our
garden and collection areas, all col-
lege buildings, and signs that aid and
guide visitors so they may more fully
enjoy the Arboretum.

Volunteers Needed:

With all the new gardens, increased
tours, and expanded community out-
reach, the Arboretum's small staff is
spreading itself mighty thin these days.
Maybe you can help. Volunteers are
needed to conduct toure, assist in our
greenhouses, make plant labels, and
adopt gardens like our herb garden. If
you are interested, please contact the
Director's office at (215) 345-1500
extension 2244. Your help can make
a difference.

DVC Student Opinion Poil:

? Did You Know ?

Effects of C02

By J en Orlowski
Did you know that:

1 .) Any activity that bums fossil fuels
(liice coal, gas or oil) to make elecu'ic-
ily, heat or power also sends C02 up
into the atmosphere?

2.) Each car releases an average of
5lons of C02, and that Americans waste
up to 2 billion gallons of gasoline each
year due to under-inflated tires?

3.) Americans are responsible for
pxxlucing more C02 than any other
nation, a quarter of the total produced?

4.) If you replace an incandescent
tHilb with a compact fluorescent bulb;
you will save the equivalent of 600
pounds of coal over the life of the bulb!

5.) Cutting down or burning u^ees
reduces the earth's ability to absorb
C02 before it rises to join the green-
house blanket?

The Human Body

By Tina Demenciiik
Did you know that:

1.) The brain accounts for about 2
percent of our body weight. It uses 20
percent of all the oxygen we breathe, 20
percent of the calories in the food we
eat, and about 15 percent of our bodys
blood supply. It has more than 100
billion nerve cells and over 100 trillion
nerve cormections; so that the intercon-
nections in the brain are virtually limit-
less.

2.) For supporting weight, the human
bone is stronger than granite. A block of
bone the size of a matchbox can support
10 tons, 4 times more than concrete.

3.) The adult body contains approxi-
mately 650 muscles, more than 100
joints and 50,000 miles of blood vessels
and capillaries. An adult has 206 bones,
nearly half of them in the hands and
feet. A baby has 300 bones at binh. but
94 fuse together during childhood.

Do you think that there is a laclc of enthusi-
asm for events and activities on campus?
What can be done to qhange this?

Oawn Berkenbush '92

Wendy MeUck '95

"Yes, find something for
students to do weekends so
they'il stay on campus. We
need activities to get people
more active in what goes on,
such as having iive bands."

"Yes!! Freshman and
Seniors seem most active.
Staff and Faculty sh6uld t)e
? more enthusiastic and interact
? more. It is a small ^hool so it
is hard to get large groups to-
gether because of the variety
of interests."

"All of my friends are at

AIDS Isn't Danger-
ous-Ignorance Is

In March of 1991, a 17 year old
Cooperstown High School Senior
shocked his family, friends, school, and
community with the announcement; i
have AIDS!". Henry, who suffers from
hemophilia has ra-eived more ilian 300
blood tfansfusions. One of those trans-
fusions infected him with the AIDS
virus.

"I did nothing to deserve this dis-
ease. No one could ever deserve this
disease! I am unwilling to remain si-
lent!" . With iliis simple announcement,
Henry revealed his secret of six years
and began a campaign to help educate
his peers about iJic facts mb realities of
a disease he knows Ironi personal expe-
rience.

"Tljerc is a feeling of immoilalily. of
invulnerability iliai 1 sense about my
cla.s.smates ;md peers. AIDS isn't my
disease. AIDS isn't a gay disease. AIDS
is our di«;a.se, and I need your help!"

Since his announcement, Henry has
spoken to iliousands of people. High
School ;md College students, parents
and community .service groups, have
iK'cn moved from tears to laughter by
Uie unique revelations that could only
come from ;ui articulate, intelligent teen-
ager faced witli a life-llueatening ill-
ness. A teen with a message to tell the
fa.stest growing group of AIDS patients,
young adults 16-25 yeais old. A normal
teen in every way. Henry has a quintes-
sential rapport impossible for others to
duplicate.

On February ilie 25. a special pro-
gnuu will tx* presented ai 8PM in the
Siudcni Ceiuer. The prognun will count
as a cultural enrichmeiu credit. ;md a
reception will follow in the Coffee
House.

Notice to students who

You will be held accountable for the
key that you signed for, whether or not

PARKING

A few changes have already been

implemented for this semester. The lot
striping in the area of the new paving has
t)een continued directly onto the road-
way mnning along Samuel Doim. This
roadway has been widened to accom-
modate two-way traffic. These modifi-
cations have also provided some addi-
tional spaces.

Segal lot-Student vehicles were
penmitted to park here evenings and
weekends with the stipulation that they
be moved by 7AM any working day.
Too often this was not the case, making
the lot unavailable for staff parking.
Therefore, student parking in Segal lot
is permitted on weekends only, from
6PM Friday until 10PM Sunday. Any
student vehicle in Segal lot other than
these times is subject to ticket and /or
tow.

The subject of commuter parking is
still under consideration. Personnel in-
volved are working toward a reasonable
solution that will accommodate the needs
of all in a mutually agreeable way.

A reminder- All student vehicles must
be parked between yellow lines in lots
A and C. A -lot is by security, C-lot is
behind Berkowiiz and Wolfshon.

DEL VAL
REACCREDITED

By Paul E. Schrwkter

Why?: Every ten years colleges must
undergo a reaccreditation process. This
process is necessary for a college to
maintain its excellence in standards. It
is a aedibility statement specifying that
the particular institution being reac-
credited is meeting its standards. That
is, "are we (DVC) doing what we say we
are doing?" The process is an internal
evaluation by joint committees of stu-
dents, faculty, administration, and staff.

Who?: The reaccreditation is directed
by the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Schools. Through guide-
lines set up by Middle States, the inter-
nal committees study and record their
findings on all aspects of the college.
Upon completion, the internal commit-
tees will hand over their reports to
Middle States who will then complete
their evaluation of DVC.

What?: The purpose of this evaluation
is to have an honest , yet critical over-
view of what changes need to be. or
could be made to imp-ove DVC. It's an
easy way for us to identify our weak-
nesses. This process is unique in that no
other institutions, except educational
establishments, evaluate themselves in
this way. Identifying our weaknesses is
the first step in turning them intb
strengths.

How?: Reaccreditation is an enormous
undertaking and requires u great deal of
support from everyone. A Steering
Committee has been selected, and
groups of task forces are being formed
to examine areas suggested by Middle
States. The only way this is going to
work is if you, the student, the em-
ployee, or the administrator, get in-
volved.

REASONS: This gives you an opportu-
nity to make changes in areas you see
necessary. In essence, "Make a differ-
ence in what you believe". In addition,
the experience of performing a sell
evaluation like this is invaluable to your
future, whether it be here at DVC or
elsewhere. You owe it to yourself to
make things the best they can be. Help
us "Do the Right Thing Right!"

Students Not Afraid Of The Dark

1 992 Flower Show Display is Underway

Night can be scary, it can be lonely
and desolate. For some, however, it can
be romantic, restful, and beautiful; aglow
with the sights, sounds, and fragrances
of the garden in twilight. At the 1992
Philadelphia Flower Show, the students
of £>el Val will show that they are not
afraid of the dark as they stage one of
their most ambitious exhibitions to date,
"Night Sensations-Discovering Light
After Dark".

The DVC exhibit, staged in con-
junction with the Henry Schmieder
Arboretum will illustrate how to design
a landscape which can be more fully
enjoyed during leisure evening hours.
Construction techniques, lighting tips,
plant selection (Klvice, examples of sen-
sory use, colorful ideas, and useful

information will help visitors discover
the sensations of the landscape after dark.

According to Dr. Jolui Martin, Direc-
tor of the Henry Schmieder Arboretum
and Chairman of tlie college's Ornamen-
tal Horticulture and Environmental De-
sign programs, the 1992 DVC exhibit
will be chock-full of practical informa-
tion of interest to all home owners and
gardeners.

Visitors will enter the exhibit through
a g;irdcners shed, which will serve as an
education center juid will feature a rear-
screen projection ilieaier. Tlie Uieater
will preseni huulscapc lighting cx:unples
and consuiiction/installation techniques.
Informational signage will help visitors
better understand the rest of the exhibit
and the basic elements of successful

"nightscaping".

More than 30 students have been
working on the exhibit since August.
The design, construction, plant forc-
ing, and educational signage for the
exhibit are all being done by students.
The 1992 Philadelphia Flower Show
marks the 42nd year Delaware Valley
College students have exhibited. The
1992 .show, "Horizons for Discovery",
runs from March 8 through March 15
at the Philadelphia Civic Center.

Discounted tickets for the Phila-
delphia Flower Show are available for
Arboretum members. Tickets may be
purcha.sed at the Lasker Hall recep-
tion desk. For more infomiation call
the college at (215) 345-1500.

Whoi friends share their intimate

They share a very special bond.

A bond that reveals tteir trust in each

They talk and laugh together

Sharing the most monorable moments.
Friends are always there with open arms
Or a shoulder to cry on.
Even though there is love involved
It's a special kind of love Just Between

Friends.

tions for Ibe class of 1996.

plete, and the full budget would
be approved within two weeks.
Uankin also.repgited to the board
that the budget of 1991-92 was
better thai had been hoped fen*.

Part of titt new budget that was
approved by a voice vote in-
cluded a 5% salary increase for
facuhy at Del Val. Hankin also
proposed tfatt if there was a ms-

plus in the new budget, that it be
distributed equally to the employ-
ees. After mudi discussion, and

reservations expressed by two
trustees, the moticm was tabled
for further di^nission.

President Emeritus Josh Feld-
stein. Chairman of the Admis-
sions, Marketing, and Student Life
Committee, repealed that the out-
\ock for the Class of 1996 is vay
good. Feldstein said that as d

tio^'Kad received Moi^ at^lica-
tions than in all of the previous
year. FeM^in also rqKxted that
he thinks tlw i»rojected goal of 47S

proximately 832 people.

farm operations be housed on 20
allotted acres. President West

FALSE PRIDE IN AMERICA?

By Paul E. Schneider
Associate Editor

It began July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia when the Declaration of
Independence was signed. For the fu-st time we, as Americans, separated
ourselves from tht rest of the world. Like the new kid on the block, we
had to prove we were the strongest and the best At the turn of the 20th
century, during the height of the Industrial Revolution, we began an
imperialistic movement to influence the world with the "American
way." Our involvement in WW 1 gained us respect worldwide. We re-
emphasized our position 25 years later upon entering WW II. Through-
out this span of time American products md workmanship also gained
worldwide respect Without a doubt, we were the strongest and the best.
We created a stroi^ sense of national pride. So what happened to us
between then and now? What has happened to the respected American
products and workmanship?

Is it possible we grew too quickly and levned too little humility
(hiring our first 150 years of life as a CQiuitt^? U seems to me th^ over
these past 50 years we have been shooting our mouths off about American
product supremacy with little evidence to back it up. It's fine to say
you're the best as long as you really ai^. Our track naxd for quality
I^oducts, such as autcnnobiles and stereos, has taken a sciious slide over
the past 40 years. In addition, our present economic situation is not
conducive to boasting. The questi<Mi I am presfcnflngis'flfirt^^,1»
Americans, have the right to become angry with the recent statements
made by the Japanese about the American woricer, <)r are we hiding
behind false pride?

On January 20, Yoshio Sakurachi, one of Japans most senior politi-
cians stated that "America's economic troubles were rooted in a work
force *too lazy' to compete with Japm, and... one of the US's biggest
(R'oblems is 1/3 of its workers can not evoi read." The natural ^nerican
reaction was resentment to these comments. People smashed J!q)anese
cars, burned a cross in front of an Asim restaurant and some peqple have

Pride

(conttnuvd from pag* on«)

g(»ie as far as threatening the Jipuiese Ammcan Citizens LeagiK.
ReacticHis such as these are not only intolerahle, but they are
pathetic.

People are reacting without thinking. If we would just slow
down and analyze what was said and why, po'haps we would find
a method that would bring our economy to the forefront again. Are
American workers lazy? I don't believe our workers are any lauer
than those in mher ccmntries, but I do believe there is a {s-oblem
with the basic American woik ethic. The general attitude of the
American worker is "if you pay me more I'll work harder", instead
of "I'll work harder so I can earn more pay." We're caught in (he
"what's in it for me syndrrane." The straigth of our country lies
in its work f(nx:e and the soma- we realize that and start sui^cMting
our country in our work pla(%, the sooner we will be able to compete
successfully in all world markets. As for the illiteracy statement,
national statistics show that 5% of the Amoican work force is
totally illiterate. These statistics do not address the bordo: line
minimally trainable workers. This whole issue can't be ignor^,
it's aproblem we have to deal with. As far as I can tell, the Japanese
statemaits seem to be supported by some fairly strong evidence.
Our current economic situation is our own fault. Why should we
blame them for showing ys our shortcomings? Since no one is
quite sure how to fix wir economy perhiqps we should be objective
and take some criticism as advice. Where do our economic
jffoblans stem from? How about from each of us? How many
Japanese products do you own? Cars, stereos, VCR's, cameras,
etc. Now, why do you own these products? Most likely its because
the Japanese emphasize quality in their workmanship and are
somewhat competitive in [n-icing. The Japanese goals are attain-
able because their work ethic is geared toward their work place,
their country, and their pride. Perhi^s it is time we take a page from
their history book, as they did from ours after. 1945, and learn from
their successes while correcting our mistakes.

As the future leaders of our counU7 it's time we learned a little
humility and looked at ourselves in a more objective light. We need
to take this sense of false pride and make itreal. Our futures depend
on our being tough on ourselves, not our critics.

Safeguarding Ocean Environments

By Jen Orlowski

The world's oceans cover 7 1 %
oS the Earth's surface and are an
immense repository of biological
diversity. Yet for many, the ma-
rine wo-ld is too (rften "out of
sight and out of mind." Although
scientists acknowledge that we
probably know less about the
marine would than we do about
the complex dynamics of rain for-
ests, scioitists also have increas-
ing reascm to beUeve that our
oceans are in serious trouble.

In recent years, the problems
c»ised by human activities in
marine environments have inten-
sified, and there are many warn-
ing signs of widespread ocean
degredatirai. Fish stocks with sig-
nificant commercial value are
declining and are sometimes too
contaminated by toxic chemicals
to eat. Uiwxplained declines in
marine mammal and sea-bird
populations, along with dying
coral reefs and beaches fouled by
oil and medical wastes, are an
increasingly comm(Hi phenom-
ena wordlwide. Pollution, poorly

planned coastal (teveloixnent,
and overuse of marine resources
are taxing the ecological balance
of ocean ecosystems, a situati(m
that demands our attention aiui
immediate acticm.

By any measure, healthy
coastal and marine ecosystems
are important to our quality of life
and critical to our survival . Oceans
provide food for our world's popu-
lation and also play a oitical role
in regulating the global climate.
It is our mission to protect the
diversity and abundaiK:e of life on
Earth. This mission is nowhere
mo-e important than in the marine
environment. Nations must begin
to practice betto- stewsffdship over
coastal and marine environments.

If you have never been to an
opera before this is a must see
show! The New York Coo^MBiy
is now performing this amazing
opera at the Forn»t Tlieater here
in Philadelphia. Hie stage is much
smaller, but you would never
know the difference.

The music is absolutely beau-
tiful, the singing is breath-taking
and the story is touching, but die
special effects are out of this
world!

I suggest front center balcony
seats, which cost $40.00, for the
best view of the spectacular ef-
fects!

MVSIC REVIEW

^ Jennifer Chakl

If you have been complaining about the stale and tired music that
lacks any thought being (dayed on meat radio stations, then you need
some Ween. What is Wera? Ween is a two-monbered band with an
ioaedible guitar player and a wacky and imaginative vocalist. Gene and
Dean Ween of New Hope, PA have received their inspiration to create
their own breed of music from the god Boognish. Ween's latest album.
The Pod, was reteased a few months ago on Shimmy Disc.

This album is jam-packed with an intense blend of frightening yet
sweet son^. A pork roll, egg and cheese (nnelete seems to be a central
idea running throughout the album as well as Mexican food. Dr. Rock
and Captain Fantasy »re reminders di what real rock 'n' roll is all about.
By the way girls, don't get too offended by how you may permve the
way Ween thinks i^out women. Maybe they've beoi hurt bdore and are
just being sensitive, ami by the way they're cute.

Ween just finisl«d putting together anoth« album whidi we can
expect to see in the near future. Ween is j»-escntly touring Europe and
will be touring the United States this sumn^-. Try to see them live, it's
a show you won't mind paying a few bucks to see. Their first album, God
Ween Satan, and Tlie Pod are available at Now and Then Records and
Spinster's Records, both located in New Hope.

ETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To ThB Editor:

rm writing to ymi (m a very important healtth issue: our un-
nourishing Dining Hall food and how it's a hazard to our health.
No matter what colle^ one attends, there's always complaints about
the cafeteria food, but I feel here at Del Val the complaints are justified.
Just ask the nurses how many studoits complain of upset stomachs after
eating at the Dining Hall. A lot of us aid up with indigestion that Digel,
PeiAo Bismol, or Mylanta combined can't cure! It is all that fat and grease
that's wrecking havoc on our systems.

Sometimes the food we get is stale. Aren't things like this supposed
to be monitored? What about quality control? Case in point; last wMk
a frieiMl of mine got a piece of chocolate cake that was so hard you
couldn't cut it with a knife! Just the other day the orange juice was rancid!

We are paying $1600 a semester for our meal plan, and it does not
seem like we are getting our money's worth! I heard that we are getting
our food from su^^osedly the best food catering business in the area. If
this is so. then what's the problon? Why aren't the meals mwe appealing
and appetizing? Why are we getting greasy and stale food, and why are
we getting practically the same menu every week?

I know for a fact that the food cmunittee had a meeting last month
with the food service director, and nothing materialized. What's next?
A student walkout ot a boycotting of the Dining Hall? It wcM-ked back
in 1982. Do we really have to have a repeat command performance
before these i)eople realize how disgruntled we really are?

To the Editor:

In the news lately there has
been considerable coverage of
sexual harassment stories. Wil-
liam Keimedy Smith, Anita Hill,
and Mike Tyson have brought a
new focus to the male-female re-
lationship and what is or may be
construed as harassment.

It should be obvious, when
unwanted physical contact is
farced upon a person of the (^po-
sete sex, that harassment and pos-
sibly acriminal act has taken place.
We are all outraged when we be-
lieve a p«^on of power or infhi-
ence manipulates by means of
that influence, to extricate him-
self from charges of sexual mis-
conduct. It is far less obvious
when sexual harassment of a ver-
bal nature takes place. When that
harassment takes phce in a class-
room on campus, propoagatedby
tiie instructor, (who must suspect
that his position within the scti-
donic community allows or at
least protects this conduct,) is
unconscionable.

Lecture material interpreted
vrith sexual innuendo, jokes of a
nstture that degrade women, el-
evate male prowess, or use female
anatomy as a punchline not only
do not belong in the classromn,

but set a poor example of what is
to be considered "£ux:eptable

behavior" on campus.

A professor at an institution is
responsible for more than the syl-
labus and course outline. He is
charged with the responsibility of
shaping and molding the minds of
his students. In effect, he is his
tx'others keeper and should be
responsible for his actions and
comments. A wry "that's just the
way I am," offered as a justifica-
tirai f cr improper behavior is sim-
ply not acce^Kable.

It is men or less common
knowledge that women do have to
compete in a job market that is
male dominated. They will be
subjected to covert and overt
sexual harassment, glass ceilings,
and lower salaries. Do they really
need to be exposed to the same
treatment within these hallowed
halls of learning?

A student should not have to
pick up 1^ exam from the lap of
her instructor. Sbt should not
flush with embarrassment because
of crude comments and cliches
directed at her. When a joke told
in class is in sufficient bad taste to
embarrass the entire room, should
students really have to be sub-
jected to it?

Delaware Valley College
counsels students for drug abuse,
alcohol abuse, and date rape. The
college requires employment
within the maJOT field of study,
and cultural enrichment seminars
to graduate. Tl^se programs are
designed to expose students to

ONLY VOU CAN PfiEVEMT FOMTST nRES

flMIIIIIIHII

.Oi.r Statti Furesier

experiences that will help shape
them into better people. What
lessons do students receive out*
side of the formal lesson plan?
What subconscious signals are
being received, conflicting les-
sons being learned? Is it okay to
act one way as long as you speak
the accepted line?

Harassment is not easily de-
fined. It is obvious that a joke to
one person can be insulting to
another. Actions become harass-
ment when a pers(m feels as if
they have beccane the brunt of
anoth^'s indiscretions. In that
case, recourse should be investi-
gated. Students have a right to
expect a high- brow education in
the classroom, not low -brow hu-
mor. Norshouldtheybeafraidfor
their grade point average. If a
student feels conmients directed
at her by a professes- are inappro-
{niate, that student should be able
to resolve the p-oblem through
channels that are outside of the
"college buddy system."

If Delaware Valley College has a
policy for harassment in the class-
room, it should be made clear to
the studoit body because sexual
harrassment takes place not oily
in Washingt(Hi, D.C. and Palm
Beach, it happens here. It should
not.

Jerry Driscoll

To the Editor:

My problem has to do with the sign I see on the school stOTe ahnost
every day I go by. You know, that sign, "No cash checking, no
exceptions." I cannot believe that with this sign up constantly, nmiors
have been that the school has decided not to have a MAC machine
provided on campus. I do not think the school is sraing the needs of the
students. A friend of mine had to cancel a trip to visit his family in Bostcm
because of tl^ fact that he could not get access to his money and in turn
could not pay for the airline tickets. He has a choking account in his
hometown bank and therefore ccnild not go to the bank to get funds.

I don't know if the MAC machine costs money, but if it does and the
school cannot afford it, then get the school store's moiey situation
straightened out so that we can get to our money. 1 hate to compare
our school to others, but I have talked to countless friends in both state
and out of state, public and private schools and none of them can believe
that we cannot get to mir funds at DVC.

Robert Kanzler

Editors Note:

The manager of the school store addressed the recent problems
with check cashing in a small mailer that was distributed to all
students last week. The administration has heard of the need for a
MAC machine , and one will be installed in the Student Center during
spring break.

To the Editor:

I have been a resident of Doylestown and the surrounding area for 19
years now. I have seen it transform from the beautiful, natural, relatively
undevelq)ed sub-urban country which it is renowned for, to an over-
populated, overdeveloped, congested, ugly, aiKl urban- like county we
now know. I realize that some development is a good sign. A sign of
growth and prosperity, but where does it end? Useless and totally
uimecessary shq)ping centers are shooting up where there once stood a
farm or a woocted escqw for all the other creatures that share this area.
Condos and apartment complexes are destroying qpen fields, in turn
creating erosion, water pollution, drainage problems, and the me thing
that developers seem to be least concerned with, the evicticm of
thousands of animals from their habitats. No womier every mile of
roadway has dead animals litterec'. along the side, their home is soon to
be a worthless, "out of business" shopping center, or a half empty
condominium complex. Why, I ask? Where will Bucks County and
Doylestown draw the line and when? The longo- we wait the worse the
conditions become. We must begin to look at the future and what it holds
at our present rate of development. We must know when to say when,
and befwe it is too late!

' Ham Radio at
DVC

Foral begins new club

By Bruce Eaton

The Ham Club will be led by Mr. Marvin Foral who is a nular and ham
radio expert. He has been a licensed ham radio operator {(x 53 years. A
luun" owns an amateur radio used to communicitte with other operators
all ova- the world.

Mr. Foral has contacted Europe, Asia, and South Amoica using his
own 2000 watt station, and he is interested in sharing his knowledge and
experience with DVC students. Foral wants to "stimulate interest in
electricity and ham radio operation."

While still in high school, Mr. Foral became a licensed operator and
joined the AARS (Army Amateur Radio system). The AARS, now
known as the MARS, was and is ui invaluable civilian service to the
Armed Forces. Their license operators assist the military in times of
disaster when other lines of communication have been destroyed.

Mr. Foral, through his AARS experience, became a civilian engineer
f(M- the Army Signal Corp.; he taught electronics and radio operation for
the military. In 1 943 Foral became a staff memb«- at Harvard University
and was involved in seminal sonar develc^ment. Sonar uses sound, sonic
and supersonic waves, to detect submerged objects.

In 1945 Mr. Foral became involved in radar development at MIT. He
was a Navy engineer involved in airborne radar development. Radar is
a radio devise that emits ultra high frequency radio waves to detect the
distance and direction an objrct. The Navy has CTedited Foral with the
ctevelqpment of the first successful millimeter radar.

The Ham Club will establish a ham radio station on campus. StiMlents
and stair will build and maintain their own ham radio set. Mr. Foral said,
"This will be hands-on training." The club station will consist of a
transceiver and anterma. A transceiver is a device that transmits and
receives radio sisals in a sin^e umt.

Mr. Foral plans to prepare club members for the ham rjKlio operators
test so they can run the stati<m on their own.

Ham radio was the springboard to Mr. Foral's life's work: "Ham radio
was my start to a fulfilling career, it was never work to me."

The Ham Club plans to study electricity aiKi magnetism, basic DC
and AC circuitry, AM and FM receivers, transistors and antomas.

The club meets on Mondays at P.M. in Mandell 208. Contact Mrs.
Vogel at the Media Center (ext.2387) for further information.

Lady Hoopsters

By Bruce Eaton

The women's varsity team had
an up and down season this year,
fmishing 11-14. They began the
season 7-3, but injuries and the
split seascm hurt them in the sec-
ond half

The women fielded only 8
players for the season, most teams
cany 13-15; and two of their start-
ers were hampered by injury early
in the first half.

Dawn Papciak, Junior For-
ward, was injured in the seventh
game of the season. She came
back and c(Hnpleted her first full
season as a starter. Papciak aver-
aged 9 pts./ game, and was the
second leading rebounder.

Melanie Falkiewicz (Soph.
Forward) severely injured an ankle
in the eighth game of the season.
Coach Gary Pento calls Melanie,
"Our best all-around team player.

The team went 2-4 inthefu-st
three weeks of the second half
Coach Pento said, "The intensity
level wasn't there like it was in the
first half, and our youth caught up
with us." The team fielded dhe
upper-classmen and seven
sophmores and freshmen.

The team contended with a
shallow bench, which is damag-
ingtoPento's coaching style. Pento
focnses on defensive pressure and
offensive speed; this style creates
more team fouls. Two starters
fouled out in two overtime losses.

The team focused on next sea-
scHi m the last three games, trying
different player combinations and
new plays. They won their last
game of the season. All eight play-
ers plan to return.

Coaches Pento and MacBrien
are very positive about the team's
potential. "Natasha Upson (Soph,
point guard) is a tremendous de-
fender and ccnnpetitor." She led
the team in steals (5/game), was
second in scoring (14.4 pts./
game),and was an all-toumament
selection in the Aggie Classic. .

I can't r«ad

this. Your handwriting It

Andrea ^umack (S(^.
Forward) was ttie tewi's leading
scorer (20 pts.^ame) and re-
bounder (10). "She is a legitimate
scorer and has a lot of taioit.",
Pento said.

Kate Mon(Aan (Fresh.
Guard) "grew steadily as a player
throughmit the entire seascui." She
led the MAC Coifcraice in
3-pointers (45%) and made six in
a single game.

Coach Pento mi Coach
MacBrien are recruiting heavily
in the off-season, "looking for the
right playors to fill cmt tl^ team."

Head C(^;h Gary Pento
won his 100th car^r game this
season, defeating Widener on
January 14. His teams have
reached the MAC playoffs in the
jn'evious four seasons.

New
Aggie

Coach

By Mark N. Barbi

On February 7, 1992, Delaware Valley College held a press confer-
ence to introduce William B. Manlove, Jr. as the Aggie's new Head
Football Coach, usl^ing in a new era for the school's football program.

At the jsess coiiference, Manlove was introduced as one of the
nation's best football coadies, and with good reason. Manlove led
Wideno''s football team to two Division in titles , was selected as the
ABC-TV Coadi of the Year twiw and received the American Football
Coaches AssocisUion Kodak Division II, in Coach of the Year Award in
1977.

While at Widoier, O^K^h Manlove «;hieved an overall record of
182-53-1 (a winning record of 70%), , and was named Middle Atlantic
Conference Coadi of the Year nine times.

At his press cooSerence Manlove came across as a practical
football coach who is very concerned about winning. He said he accepted
the job at DVC because it is a challenge, and that he feels the team is only
a few changes away from a successful season.

Manlove appears to take recruiting very seriously. When asked
at the press ccmference how he planned to get young talent interested in
DVC's football program, he replied, "That's my job." hnplying that, not
only is he a talent^ football coach, but he is also a competent salesman.
Manlove was a successful recruiter at Widener University, where
he coached for twenty-three years; and he is confident that he can do the
job at DVC. Manlove's style of coaching concentrates on the fundamen-
tals of footbidl, something many college players often forget about.

Manlove was given the job after a nation-wide search by Delaware
Valley College and was chosen from over 100 ^licants.

Good luck Coach Manlove!

Aggies finish
season with
home win

By Bruce Eaton

Tht moi's basketball team had
a disa{^ointing season this year
(6-19), but evei the mcwt dismal
can produce a txi^t light.

The last home and career game
of four Aggie seniors was marked
by SOTie inspired basketball. The
Rams goted (if that is possible
with those horns) the Juniata Indi-
ans, 98-81.

The team shot 91% (32/35)
from the foul line, and all five
starters scored in double figures.

Juniata jumped to an eariy 1 5-
10 lead, but Del-Val closed the
gap and led the rest of the way.
The Aggies were up by four at the
half.

The team played tenacious
defense zone and man-io-man
defense, converting turnovers into
points. A coach couldn't ask a
starting five to play jwy better.

Four of Del-Val's starting five
are seniors. Stephan Walters (Sr.
point guard) scorei 15 pts, and
was 7/8 from ttw line. Coach
Weiiciser calls fcdm an, "Outstand-
ing point guard, a tough man to
replace. " Walters led- the team in
assists.

Mike Knouse (Sr. guard) was
6/6 from the line and scored 15.
Werkiser characterizes him as.
"A steady playo*, you can always
count onhim to i»^oduce." Knouse
scored over a lOCX) pts. in his
career, even though he missed his
junior year.

Jacob Mickens (Sr. fo^ard)
shot 6/6 from the line and netted
20 pts. from the field. His offen-
sive reb(HiiKling was a key to the
high fmal score. He is the team's
leading rebounder and their quick-
est leaper. Werkiser has, 'Total
admiration for the man. He is a
commuter, he works and has
played basketball for f(Kir years."
Ted Mulroy (Sr. center),
Werkiser said "was unconscious
from the outside (on Friday)." He
netted three 3-pointers and scored
14 points. Coach Werkiser said
he, "playswith a lot of heart and
guts."

Ryan Buckley (So. forward)

scrambled for loose balls and was
the game's high scorer with 25
points. He shot 12/12 from the
line and played team basketball.
Werkiser has 12 returning play-
ers, but four starting seniors are
tough to replace.

Is there any food that can calm you
down and pep you up?

By Tina Demenczuk
Assodato Editor

Running around in circles? Grinding
your teeth? PuiKhing your fist thrcmgh a

wall? Hurry! Grab a candy bar! By the time
you take the last bite, you will wonder how
in the wwld you got so upset.

Experiments nm by Dr. Richard Wurt-

man. Dr. Judith Wurtman and Dr. Ferstrom
of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have shown thtt a carbo-
hydrate filled candy bar can be a temporary cure to anxiety. Hieir
experiments have shown that certain ingredients in ordinary foods can
cause changes in our tnm's chemistry and alter the way we feel, think

aiMl act.

For example, when you eat a candy bar, the sugar, which is a

carbohydrate, goes mto your bloodstream quickly and stimulates the
production of seritonin, which is a chemical transmitter in the Ix-ain. The
seritcmin relaxes you and temporarily puts you in a better frame (rf'mind
to cope with fhistraticms and challenges.

The reason behind this tasty remedy is simple. Two of the many
important brain nutrients are the amino acids known as tyr(sine and
tryptophan. Together they work to counter balance each other. Tyrosine
is present in high-protein foods. The brain metabolizes it into two
different nmrotransmitters, norepinei^ine and dopamine. These neu-
rotransmitters make your conscious awareness sharper, raise your
attention span and also help your brain perform rational functions more
effectively. However, they can sometimes go overboard and get you so
hyped up that you can't handle opposition or set backs.

Tryptophan, on the other hand, is an amino s^id found in high-carbo
foods. It stimulates the production of seritcmin which is helpful in red-
hot anger situations and the moody blues syndrome.

Seritonin not oily can make you calm, it also enables you to endure
pain and discomfort by raising the level of endorphines, which are the
iH-ain's pain-killing chemicals. Incres^ed seritonin can even help combat

insomnia.

If you need a mental energy boost fm a meeting or a test, scientists

recommend a natural dose of tyrosin which can be found in relatively

high-protein foods such as fish, shellfish, skinless chicken, low fat

cottage cheese, tofo or skim milk. Heavy meals and fatty foods take too

much time to digest, which causes the blood to stay in the stomach and

away from the brain, and ultimately makes it harder fror you to

concentrate.

However, if you want to keep a well-tempered manner and enjoy

sleep, carbos not proteins will give ymi an imireased seritonin punch.

A candy bar is not the only solution. An af^le, potato, bagel, bran muffm

or a small amount of pasta or rice will work. If your fav(»ite candy bar

has nuts, the protein from the nuts mixed with the carbos can inhibit

seritoniin production.

Whatever you decide, my suggestion is to stash both types of foods

close by at home, in your dorm, or at work. Yes, candy bars are more

appcaiing and easier to stash, but a 200-calorie bagel will ease your

weight-conscious mind better than a SOO-calorie Snickers bar.

The Human Body

By Tina Demenczuli
Associate Editor

1 .) The body's largest organ is the
skin. In an adult man it covo-s
about 20 square feet; a woman has
about 17 square feet. The skin is
constantly flaking away and be-
ing completely replaced by new
tissue about once every four
weeks. On avo-age each person
sheds about 105 pounds of skin
and grows about l,OOOcompletely
new outer skins during a lifetime.

2.) The smallest human muscle is
the ear. It is a little over 0.04 inch
long. The ear also ccmtains one of
the few parts of the body that has
no blood vessels. Cells in part of
the umer ear, where sound vibra-
tirais are converted to nerve im-
pulses, are fed by a constant bath
of fluid instead of blood. Other-
wise the sensitive nerves would
be deafened by the sound of the
body's own pulse.

Dieting And Personality Changes

The Collegiate Journal

"If I only lose X number of
pounds I know I will feel better."

Or will you? Research has
shown that dieting affects person-
ality and behavior, but the changes
are usually for the worse, not the
better. The best research done in
this area was done in the mid-
1940s by Dr. Keys at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota using 36 male
"volunteers." All were Quaker
conscientious objectors of WWII
and were given the option to par-
ticipate in the study or go to jail.
The men had good family back-
grounds, were patriotic and psy-
chologically strong, but did not
believe in war or killing.

The research consisted of 3
three month segments. During
the first three months, the men
were allowed to eat as they nor-
mally would while their personal-
ity, eating patterns and behavior
were recorded. Everything went
well with no detectable problems.
Over the second three months,
the men's daily calories were re-
stricted to half their fomier in-
take. The diet consisted of 1,660
calories per day of nutritious food,
plus a vitamin supplement. This
diet was fairly generous, consid-
ering many diet programs only
allow 600 to 1,200 calories per
day. On this diet the men lost an
average of 25 poimds over 12
weeks. During the third three
month period, the men y^re al-
lowed to return to an uiu^stricted
diet.

The changes oteerved during
the weeks of dieting were dra-
matic. Nearly all the men became
obsessed with food. Fourty per-
cent wanted to improve their cook-
ing skills, and many considered
changing their profession to chef.
Can you imagine 36 men in the
mid-40s reading cookbooks and
constantly discussing foods, reci-

pes and the tastiest way to i»'epare
their alloted food? That's exactly
what happened. They craved hot,
spicy foods. Coffee and tea can-
sumption increased so much that
they were limited to nine cups a
day. Many developed a tendency
to binge eat, and a buddy system
was started to help curb their be-
havior fra* fear of being removed
firom the study. Nearly all reported
constant hunger

The participants also experi-
enced significant emotional
changes. They became irritable
and apathetic, and ignored per-
sonal hygiene. Emotional stress
increased, and two became psy-
chdtic. Fighting, weeping
,thoughts of suicide and violence
were noted. They lost their sense
of humor, and social interactions

declined. The cohesiveness of the
group gave way to isolation.

Sexual interest waned. The men
reported feeling fatigued, weak
,listless and dizzy. Sane experi-
enced poor muscle coordination
and hypersensitivity to light.

When they retumed to their
"normal" diet, their lives remained
altered. Tliey still prepared gour-
met dishes and gluttcmy was com-
mon. Some WCTC even observed
licking their plates. EjUing 8,000
to 10,000 calories at one sitting,
they continued to binge. A few
men actually developed binge
and purge behavior common to
bulimia.

Even thou^ this is an older
study, it is right on target with
current thinking about eating dis-
orders and starvation. It clearly
illustrates that a simple diet may
not make you feel better but could
trigger harmful psychological and
behavioral changes that are diffi-
cult to reverse, while on a diet you
may be aware of the changes in
your personality, but ask a friend.
The answer might surprise you.^

'AMPUS NEWS

From the President

**Foodfar Tkoughi"

rve got gocxi news tnd bad nevrs...

The good news, tibe very good news
is that the College has received a gilt
of 174 acres of land in Montgomery
County at the into^ecticni of Routes
202 and 63, about seven miles from
the main canqxis. As a condition of
the gift the land must be used for

educational purposes, which is a

broad ort^ory. Dr. Joshua Peld-

stein, oat Pnau^eat Emeritus, has woited with the donor for several

years to acquire this gift for our College's friture. At present, the ckmor

requests no putdkaty, so let's keep the gift news within our family.

Now the not-so-good news.,..

As you may have read in the newspapo^, the state aid for our College
has been cut , more correctly cut out of the Governor's proposed biulg^
akMig with the eUmination of equipmoit grants. These cuts in high«'
education will ffftd nearly all of higher education m Pennsylvania as
state colleges ue also proposed to ba.yt reduced state funding. You can
be sure that all Pennsylvania colleges, public and private, are now ming
every political ami economic means they have to restore the situation (x
come to some compromise solution.

I Mali, on behalf of our College, be personally involved in this effort.

Radio Free DVC

Can you here it?

By Bruce Eaton

Did you know that pel Val had a radio station? The statioi was an
outgrowdi of Alpha Phi Omega Service Fraternity; they began operation
in the late 70s.

The station was originally installed on the second floor of the Alumni
House, then moved to the second floor of Segal Hall. When the Student
Center was built in 1983, the station was moved there. The station was
not active at the time, although it was fuiK;tional.

Dr. Orr, faculty advisor to APO, said, "APO divorced itself from the

station because it didn't have enough staff to run the station sead its
Service Frziemty." He has seen student interest in reviving the station
wax and wane frxmi year to year.

Hie existing system is set iq) for short range AM broadcast . It has
enough powo- to sovice the campus. However, the years of disuse and
the many moves have not helped to preserve the system.

Kent BuM}aunoyer of Blue Chip Sound and Light said, " The biggest
problem lies in the outdated tube-type transmitters being used to
broadcast to the dormiumes. They have required numerous repairs, ami
quite frankly, ve probably not worth the continued band-aids to keq)
^em operating.

Bubbenmoyer estimates that it will cost about $10,000 to replace the
three AM transmitters. These transmitters receive the signal from the
staticm and th«i modulate the signal thrcmgh coaxial cable to es^h
dormitory.

Much of tin cable is not functional, however, weathering and disuse
have talren tbeir toll. It will cost about $5,000 to rq}lace the coaxial cable.
Realistically, it is going to cost between $13 and $20,000 to put WDVC
back on the air.

Once the sxz^(m is on the air, it wouki take a staff of at least 20 people
to run the station efficioitly. It has been sasot time since the camims has
seen that miK;h interest, but there seems to be interest now.

John Hirth (Soph. SAC rep) feels that the station would be good for
campus life. He thinks students would get involved if the staticm was re-
established. Hirth said, "A radio staticm would benefit more students than
other campus activities. It would reach mwe people."

Ian Luginbuhl (Jun. SAC rep) has been interested in the station for over
a year. He said, "A campus station would create more interest in the

Reaccredation Update

Self Study Effort In Full Swing

By Ron Johnson

Chairman, Steering Committee

After a brief mating on Tuesday, February 25, 1992, the various
Task Force Groups were turned loose to complete their part of the self
evaluation study. As part of this process it may be necessary to survey
the student body, ff you receive me of tlwse questicmnaires please take
time to thoughtfully complete and return it The more responses we
have, the more accurate the result. The reports frwn these various groups
will be compile into a single document v^kh should be available fcM*
re vie w by al 1 members (rf the DVC community in November of this year.
A series of meetings will be held to discuss it with you shortly thereafter.
We need your input If you want to get involved, just let me know and
I am sure we can Hi^ a place for you. The final draft should be ready
by February of 1993 in plenty of time for our site visit in April of 1993.
Dr. Marie Tarpey oi Alfred University is ^ing to Chair the visitation
team and she will be stoj^ing by in February, 1 993 for a "get acquainted"
visit. Right now everything is on schedule and p-ogressing smoothly and
I want to thank those of you who have already joined the effort for your
time and help.

school and make the campus brighto*." Luginbuhl has sought advice
from other college stations, and he has found that record companies want
to send music once the station is operating. L4iginbuhl said, "But we need
some money few anything to get started."

This interest from the student body raises the question, is the admin
istration aware of student interest in a campus station? Dean Jarrett said
"Yes I am aware oi student interest but any m«iey spent is measured by
the value it receives. Money is a [n-oUan, and $13-20,000 is a lot oi
money."

Dean Jarrett's office paid Blue Ch^ to assess the radio system, aiKi
Jarrett has not seen »iough consistent student interest to justify that sum
of money. The money for the statirai would have to come from SAC fees
or be allocated through Student Govemmoit Jarrett said. "I am support
ive of the idea; it would be an excellent means of communication. But
Student Govemment needs to see if that exp«iditure will benefit the
most students and justify that expenditure to the student body."

Well, can you tear it?

...from Security

This issue begins a monthly
report from your Security Depart-
ment giving statistics on crime
and other inctdeitts which occurred
on campus in the previous month.
Tins first report covers the period
from the start of die 2nd sonester,
1/21/92 to 2/26/92.

We hope that tlw regulv pub-
lication of these statistics will
make you aware of those areas
where increased involvonent on
your part can greatiy diminish the
of^Kxtunity for crime to occur.
For example, many thefts from
dorm rooms occur during Uie day.
Keep your dorm rooms locked at
all times, even if you are away for
cnly a few minutes: do not keqp
handbags, wall^ and jewelry in
open view in ysur room. Maintain
an inventory of your posessions,
including serial numbers of equip-
ment (Security has m oigraving
tool available lot insCTibing I.D.
numbers on items).

Anether area of concern is the
"propping" of residence hall
dorms after locki^. This puts ev-
eryone ih that dorm at risk, do not
assume that responsibility.

Remember - Safety is
everyone's right and r^^one's
responsibility.

Brain Teasers

Three men walk into a hotel
and request a room, the clerk then
said it was $30 a night for a room,
so each man gave $ 10 to the clerk.
Once the men got back to their
room the clerk realized that he
over charged them; on the week-
ends a room was only $25. So he
gave the bellboy $5 and told him
to return it to the three men. On the
way up to the room, knowing that
he can't evenly split $5 between 3
people, he pockets $2.00 and
gives $ 1 to each of the three men.

If each man paid $9, 9x3a27 plus
the 2 the bellboy has equals 29!
Where is the other dollar?

What do you think?

Q. Don the Constituticm give
you the right to bear arms (own a
gun)?

If asked, the average person
would rq}ly, yes; he or she has the
right to bear arms. However, when
the 2nd Article of the Amend-
ments was passed by Congress
Sept. 25, 1789 and ratified by the
States December 15, 1791 is read
cmrectly; it does not give us that
right.

Article n

" A well regulated militia, being
necessary to the security of a free
State, the right of the people to
keep and bear arms, shall not be
infringed."

A literal interpretaion of this
brief and controversial senteiKe
simply states that you may own a
gun when you belong to the mili-
tia and the security of your State is
in danger.

What do you think?

Philadelphia
Flower Show

DVC Wins Three Awards

By Mark N. Barhi

Staff Writer

, As annual as the flowers it
showcased, Philadelphia's
flower show once again held
its week -long, nationally rec-
ognized event in the Civic
Center. Tte yearly spectacle
is tlK largest indoor flower
show in the world and proudly
displays entries from all over
the United States and Europe.
However, the most impres-
sive display traveled only sev-
eral minutes from Doylestown
to reach Philadelphia's presti-
gious event. Delaware Valley
College won three awards for
its exhibit "Night Sensations-
Discovering Life After Daric"
and showed the talent and cre-
ative genius of both the stu-
dents and faculty.

Under the guidance of Dr.
Martin, DVC captured the
Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society's Award tor Best in
Show( Educational -Aca-
demic), the American Horti-
cultural Society Citation, and
a Special Achievement Award
for Horticulture from the Gar-
den Club Federation of
America. Through the use of
color, lighting, and fragrance;
DVC's display effectively
showed how gardens can be
organized so they may be ap-
preciated at night. DVCs ex-
hibit was an inspiration for all
who saw it and allowed the
average gardener to consider
afacetofgardeningmostnever
would even have considered;

Quick Presidential Quiz on
"Bixdget and Growth

By Pedrito Fischer

Recently, I interviewed
DVC President George West.
I was. at first, very uneasy to
talk to the top man; but I soon
fouTKl a warm ami helpful per-
sonality to guide me through
some hot campus questions.

1 first asked: Could you
please discuss some of the new-
est budget proposals for
D.V.C.? Is this new budget set
to the Slate cuts? West an-
swered. "When you are trying
to constmct a budget and fig-
ure out what your expenses
can be ... You have to be very f
conservative in your estimate
of what you are going to re-
ceive. " However. Dr. West
believes that DVC will crni-
rinue to receive Stare Aid in
one form or another, despite
announcements of State cuts
to private institutions.The
President figures on a full bal-
anced budget for our next fis-
cal year, but "We'll have to
wait and see what the Board of
Tmstees say about this pre-
luninary budget proposal.Ac-
cording to President West,
State Aid does not seem to be
a laige chunk of the college's
budget bi a 16 million dollar
budget, $400,000 is a rela-
tively small percentage of the
total budget. Although help-
M and appreciated, the col-
lege can survive. Mr. West
reassured me: "State Aid
would not have any great af-
fect on DVC; it would be at

best, marginal."

To conclude my budget

questions I asked if there is an
organized campaign to write
to our state representatives to
ask that we continue to re-
ceive finaiKial assistance. The
President said: "I don't par-
ticulariy want everybody to
gang up on the legislature, but
to make a singular note." The
President said we could possi-
bly petition the legislature as a
student body, band together
with a positive letter from our
college. The President added
withasmile, "The more voices
that the legislature hears, the

better. Faculty members, stu-
dents and their parents should
be heard."

I then asked about the new
gift of 1 74 acres of land from
an anonymous donor. Tlie larxl
is about seven miles to our
south, at the intersection of
routes 202 and 63. It is ours
only as an "educational re-
source ". Mr. West said. "The
land is ours in perpetuity... for
agricultural educational
purposes only."

PRESIDENT
OFFICE

WEL

Budget developments say
that the land will be used ini-
tially for crops. The budget
will cover the initial crop, and
the farm will become self-suf-
ficient.

Mr. West ended with this:
"Dr. Feldstein is the one who
brought the gift in and should
get the credit for this acquisi-
ton. The planning for the fu-
ture use of this land is ongo-
ing."

Next, I had to find out how
we were going to house over
900 freshmen next year. Dr.
West smiled and told me the
projections are only up to 475
new students for the fall se-
mester. The rumors that ranged
ftom 500 to 1.000 new stu-
dents probably came from
"about a week or so ago, be-
cause the number of applica-
tions topped 1,000."

Last year the class had ap-
proximately 437 new fresh-
men; this year it could reach
475 or so. An average of 400
or a little more can be handled
by existing dorms and facih-
ties. DVC is a resident cam-
pus , President West reminded
me: "Approximately 70% of

our students reside on cam-
pus. This is a good problem, a
problem of growth."

1 then asked if the newly
acquired land could be used
for donmitories. "As I inter-
pret for educational use', it
means pretty much what we
are doing on this campus now,
it could include new dorms."
Inclosing, I asked Mr. West
what people should know
about DVC now. He thought
for a moment and said. "The
finaricial condition of the col-
lege has improved. I'm reason-
ably certain that we will come
out to a balanced budget this
year."

Mr. We.sl also appreciaics
itie gooa siuueni morale anu

friendly attitude on this cam-
pus."

This interview reflects the
Presictent's open door policy:
"We try to to keep open with
each other all the time." With
the help of his student con-
tacts and straight-shooting,
Mr. West feels that the cam-
pus is heading in a positive
direction. The President re-
minded me: "If you don't talk
to each other much, it isn't that
anything is going on, it's just
tiiat you don't know, and that's

how rumors are created."

ItahelUa Kasloski

By Jennifer Miako

Staff Writer

This issue's spotlight falls upon the hard woridng Isabelita Kasloski. Lita, as she likes to be
called, worics for housekeeping and maintains the following buildings: Miller Hall, the Alumni
Building, the Media Center, the Research Center and the Horticulture Buildings.

Lita has been with the DVC family since 1989. She hails fipom the Philippines where she grew
up on a small farm. Lita says "I really like America." She enjoys the opportunities it offers to all
people. Recently, she and her husband purchased a house and arc finally getting settled into a
routine with their 22month old daughter, Roseallie.

Lita rcmariced about the friendly atmosphere of the college. She enjoys attending many of the
college's social events. She often brings her daughter and her friends to the college's many sporting
and cultural enrichment events. Her favorite pastime at the college is to come and watch the
basketball games.

I asked Lita about the college life-style in the Philippines. She said that all the students in the
Philippines are required to wear uniforms, yes, even the students. Also, Lita remariced that smdents
normally go to class five days a week, but that they either attend an AM or a PM shift only.

Be sure to say hello to Lita when you see her around campus. You can't miss her wanm, friendly
smile or her easily approachable manner.*

Things You Can Do Around Campus
To Help The Environment

By Marci Carroll

Staff Writer

Turn off all electrical equipment that is not being used: TV,
stereo, lights, coffee makers, blowdryers.

Do not leave water running when you are brushing your teeth,
shaving or washing your hands and face. Every minute, 3 to 5
gallons of water go down the drain.

Before throwing away six-pack rings that hold beer or soda cans,
snip each circle with scissors. Seals, seagulls and other birds get
their heads caught in them.

Try not to purchase anything that is packaged in plastic or
styrofoam. Buy products packaged in cardboard.

Recycle your trash! All over campus there are boxes for paper
materials and garbage cans for aluminum, glass and plastic.

The Aggies 1992 Delaware
Valley College baseball team
is looking towards a great sea-
son this year. Coach Frank
Wolfgang and tl^ team are
very optimistic, they hope to
have a winning season and
strong pitchers.

Coach Wolfgang lost three
players from last years' team,
but gained 8 freshman and two

junior transfers. The returning
players are Ryan Buckley
(Soph), Matt Fritzinger (Jun),
Tim Mears (Soph), Bob Spratt
(Soph), and Kyle Walters
(Jun). Team captains are Bob
Altieri and Brian Schlegal,
both seniors.

The Aggies record last year

split every double header. Lets
hope our baseball team has a
great season, and let's all get

Coach Fleischer feels this
years talent is superior to that
of last season. Fleischer says,
"We will be stronger at the
plate, and we have three stron-
ger pitchers." The coach fore-
sees that, "We should be .500
or better this year. We are a
quicker team, more aggres-
sive, and we won't make the
same mental mistakes."

The addition of two new
experienced catchers, Audrey
and Michelle, will add some
extra glue to hold the team
together. With dedication and
a lot of hard work, this softball
team will produce game vic-
lories. As they say, "Nothing
comes easy." ■

To Build or Not to Build

TO THE EDITOR:

I am writing this letter from an environmentalist point of view.
This may be confusing because I am in support of the constmc-
tion of the Rt 202 by-pass. At the present point of development,
there seems to be no other viable alternative for this area except
to build a by-pass. Cars and trucks constantly flood the Rt. 202
corridor between Montgomeryville and Doylestown, most of
them simply passing through. As this traffic has become
increasingly worse over the years, Perm Dot has come to the
realization that the area needs a by-pass.

If this by-pass is built; it will create many envirormiental
positives. It will relieve congestion along the corridor through
Bucks County. It will be conducive to a safer animal habitat (less
roadkills), less air pollution, a more placid and peaceful atmo-
sphere, and hopefully it will inhibit any further development
along the already over-developed route. This will also allow
motorists, who use back roads to avoid congestion, the use of Rt.
202 for reaching local destinations, therefore freeing up the mral
areas. Automobiles using the by-pass will get better fuel
economy than on a traffic-ridden road, therefore conserving
fossil fuels and decreasing the amountof C02 that is emitted into
the atmosphere. Emergency Persormel will be able to respond
faster whetlwr it be on the new by-pass or on the old Rt. 202. All
of these positives show a definite advantage to building the by-
pass, but there are some disadvantages.

These disadvantages are minimal compared to the pros of
iHiilding a by-pass, but they must still be considered. The by-
pass will run through what is now c^n land and may be an eye
sore. It wiU have its share of roadkills, but this will hopefully be
reduced through the use of fencing along its boundary. Many
residents will unfortunately feel repercussions during the build-
ing of this project. Views from some homes will be mined which
(»uld effect property values and destroy their tranquility.
Overall, the by-pass is the most practical, logical, and environ-
mentally sound alternative, considering our present condition,
mA that is another subject altogettier.

Date Rape /Acquaintance Rape
Is It a Problem?

Date rape is an increasing concern in American dating tl^se days, especi^Qly at schools. It is
much more dangerous and prevalent than most people think. Most people assume that dating is
safer in mral areas and with those hvm rural environments.

Date r^ is deflned as a crime of violence and aggression motivated by a desire for control and
dominance, not sex. It is the physical force by a dating partner to have sexual intercourse against
his or her own will. Typically, traditional US dating patterns are such that the men are expected
to ask the women out, plan and pay for the night, then expect a sexual repayment aiKJ when turned
down, they react violently.

Several surveys conducted at many different colleges in the US over the past two years showed
that nearly half of the women polled had been sexually assaulted in some way against tlwir will,
many men still believe that when their dating partner says "No", she means "Yes" and that most
women feel embarrassed to refuse.

Here are some helpful hints to avoid potential date rape:

1 . Always plan ahead arKl meet at or go to public places, on a first date.

2. Try to double date, especially if it is a blind date.

3. EX) not accept a ricte home from a party by someone you just met, plan your way home ahead
of time.

4. Don't drink too much or be forced to drink more than you can handle by someone ycHi just met.

5. Say what you mean, be confident and assertive and demand respect from the begirming.

6. Be aware of what is going on around you , (ton't let someone get you in a vulnerable situation.

7. Don't rely on reputation, if someone is known as non-violent, it doesn't mean that they won't
be in the future. Know that anyone can be a potential rapist.

8. Be prepared with a self-(tefense strategy at all times just in case you are ever put in an unwanted
situation unexpectedly.

GO EASY ON THE BOOKSTORE

■(•MK4>kld:U!l^4l[(ftl<£'JiiUII:i

d In Dovlestown

TO THE EDITOR:

I am writing in refereru:e to
Robert Kanzler's Letter to the
Editor in the March 9 issue of
tlK Ram Pages. He com-
plained about the check cash-
ing policy of the student store
and I would like to reply.

First of all, this policy is a
benefit and service provided
for DVC students. Mrs.Spratt,
the bookstore manager, goes
out of her way to help stu-
dents. She ^cial orders shirts
that various clubs request and
does other things forindividu-
als which is far beyorul her
duties as a manager. Mrs.
Spratt is being harassed over
the phone about the bookstore
by people who have no idea of
what she has to do in order to
have cash-on-hand. This in-
volved process must first be
processed through Lasker
Hall. Next, a pick-up must be
made at the bank which is an
estimated guess as to how
much money will be needed.
If the "no check cashing" sign
is posted and an individual
has a problem, such as the
friend who could not get
money for airfare, just talk to
her and she will do her best to
help that person.

People around here need to
take responsibility for them-
selves. Since they are living at

college thev should get a local
bank account. There is one

within walking distance, only

two Mocks frcHn here.

I think Ram Pages should
have given Mrs. Spratt a
chance to put in a rebuttal in
the March 9 issue(the same
issue as tl^ letter to the editor
was printed) so people would
not respond the way they are.

A MAC machine may be
put in during spring bre^.
That is not verified but it is
going to cost this school money
that it can not afford to spend.
What is going to haj^n wl^n
the MAC machine breaks or
eats someone's card? It is not
a cure for getting cash. If
anyone has more problems,
please talk to Mrs. Spratt
Amy Lubinsky

Editors Note:

The purpose of letters to the
editor is to give people the
opportunity to address their
concerns and express their
opinions. When issues such
as this arise in the future we
will do our best to inform the
involved parties so that they
may also respond.

From the March 24 stu-
dent government meeting:
A MAC machine will soon
be placed in the Student
Center for the convenience
of all Dei Val members.

When is a good
time?

TO THE EDITOR:

I would like to join your
staff iHit I cannot make the
Tuesday 4: lSi»n meetings. I
have night classes which make
it difficult to attend afternoon
meetings. I also have several
friends who are interested in
joining the staff aiKl have the
same time conflicts. Can you
mn the meetings at 4 :00pm on
Mondays like last semester or
during everyone's free period
on Wednesdays?

ARTS& ENTERTAINMENTi

Flower Show
(contin$ttd fhom pg. 1)

this is the most impressive
aspect of the display: it will
motivate many who saw it to
orchestrate a nightscape of
their own.

To achieve the night-time
effect, the massive exhibit was
draped with a black fabric
which daricened the area and
allowed the various plants to
display their remarkable abil-
ity to affect the night. Upon
entering the display one
walk^ along a meandering
path and observed foliage, a
statue-2Kx:enmated stream, and
a small cottage. This real-life
model is what inspired visi-
tors the most; people felt that
they could improve their
home's surroundings with ef-
fective landscaping for both
day and night.

All the flowers at the show
had to be labeled with their
proper botanical name in or-
der to make the flower show
an educational event, md D VC
students who participated in
the event gained valuable laiKl-
scaping experience and botani -
cal knowledge, which is eas-
ily applied to careers in the
horticultural industry.

Delaware Valley College
has been participating in tJic
event for 42 years and is al-
ready planning another im-
pressive display for next year.

Train Ride to
the Past

By Marci Carrol

Staff Writer

Have you ever wondered
where the train stop behind the
greenhouse takes you? Well,
the R5 train (to Maiket East)
can take you hundreds of years
back to the time of Betsy Ross
and the signing of the Declara-
tion of Independence.

Historical Philadelphia is
home to such places as Inde-
pendence National Historical
Paik, which is also known as
"the most historical square
mile in America". There arc
twenty-six buildings and sites
that exhibit the time when our
nation was founded. The park
is located on Third and Chest-
nut Streets and is open 9-5
daily, there is no charge, and
for further information you can

call (215) 597-8974.
If that is not enough history

for one day. there is always
Independence Hall. This is the
famous site where the Decla-
ration of Independence was
signed and where the Consti-
tution was drafted. Another
nearby site is the Liberty Bell
Pavilion which is located out-
side inlhc Independence Mall.
Both arc located on Chestnut
Street between Fifth and Sixth
Streets.

Other nearby sites are the
Edgar Allen Poe House and
the Betsy Ross House. Edgar
Allen Poe lived at this particu-
lar house for one year. He
wrote such poems as "The
CJolden Bug" and "The Black
Cat" while living at532 North
Seventh Street. There is no
charge to visit his house and it
is open 9-5 daUy. (215) 597-
8780

The Betsy Ross house is lo-
cated on 239 Arch Street. She
is even buried, along with her
second husband, in the back-
yard. It is open 9-5 daily and
there is also no charge to enter.
(215)627-5343

This is a perfect, inexpen-
sive way for a college student
to spend the day in such a
historical city as Philadelphia.

Venture into Wonderland and experience The Mf»d Hatters, j
band that combines high-powered energy jamming wjili unique
songwriiing. fusing elements of blues, funk, and fo.k. Tlic Mad
Hatters started out in Philadelphia, where ihey have gained a
substantial following since they first started iw o years ago. In
Philadelphia, the band has played on the top music circuit;
ChesUTUt Cabaret, Khyber Pass, and J.C. Dobbs.

In the past year, the band has toured extensively throughout the
the Northeast. Their following has grown considerably, creating
a buzz whose boundaries have extended from Philadelphia north
to New York and south to Washington, D.C.

Currently, The Mad Hatters are negotiating for a major record
deal. Back in January of 1990. the band released an indepen-
dently distributed LP, 'Mock Turtle Soup'.

TTie show is being sponsored and brought to the school through
SAC and PEK. PEK will be operating a refreshment stand at the
show. So tomorrow night come on out for The Mad Hatters, an
event at Del-Val worth catching!

1. You should avoid drinkli^ alcohol when you're
cold. Though alcohol may taste and feel warm, it
actually cools the body. This is because alcohol
dilates the blood vessels which allows for a rush
of more blood to the skin's surface. In the
process, body heat is given off. ■

Beyond HIV...

ByJameStoner

Staff Writer

Sexually transmitted dis-
eases, or STDS, affect mil-
lions of Americans each year.
These diseases are spread dur-
ing sexual activity, usually in
people uiKler the age of thirty,
and can have serious conse-
quences such as Uindness, ste-
rility, and even (teath. Once a
person has one of the twenty
or more different diseases he
or she may never get rid of it.
There is no v2K;cination and
the body cannot build up an
immunity. Nonedieless tl^re
are several explanations why
STDs are spreading rapidly:
people are not aware of these
diseases, symptoms are not
easily noticed, and infected
people don't inform partners.
Everyone can help stop the
spread of STDs however, by
understanding the different
STDS, and knowing their
symptoms. Every infected
person must seek medical
attention promptly, and take
preventative measures. Here
arc five frequently contracted

STDs arKl their symptoms.

The first and most com-
monly reported STD in the
United States is gonorrhea. It
is always transmitted during
sexual contact. The symp-
toms may not always occur,
but if they do, it will usually
be 2-20 days after sex with a
contaminated partner. The
disease usually produces a
whitish discharge from the
penis or vagina, painful and
frequent urination, and in
women pain in the abdominal
area. If this disease ctoes in-
deed go unnoticed, it may
result in sterility for niales
and females, infections in
joints and heart tissue, ami
PID (Pelvic Inflammatory
Disease) in women. Preg-
nant women should beware,
for newbom babies can be-
come permanently blind from
this disease. Those who think
they may have this disease,
should seek medical attention
immediately. Once diagnosed
they will be prescribed anti-
biotics, which cures most
cases of gononiiea.

Syphilis is the second and
most dangerous STD in the
United States.. It can be trans-
mitted by contact through
broken skin but almost al-

ways by sexual contact. The
symptoms will develop in three
stages. The first stage occurs
one to twelve weeks after con-
tact A sore will appear on the
genitals, mouth, or anus. The
second symptom usually de-
velops around tl» same time
as the first. It is a rash that
forms on the chest, back, arms,
and legs. In addition, the
lymph nodes become enlarged
on die i^ck, under the arms,
and in the groin. He or she
may also develop flu-like
symptoms. The symptoms
eventually disappear, but the
third stage hits hard in ap-
proximately three or more
years after contact. Ulcers
develop externally on the skin
and on internal organs. Ar-
thritis and loss of feeling in
the limbs will also follow. Pain
and disability, due to damage
to the heart, blood vessels,
spinal cord, and brain eventu-
ally disables an individual.
However, syphilis is very treat-
able with antibiotics. Yet, if
the disease is left untreated, it
will produce heart, brain and
spinal damage. The ultimate
outcome, unfortunately is
death. Moreover, a pregnant
women may pass the disease
onto her fetus; but. if the dis-

ease is detected in the fetus, it
can be cured.

Genital Heipes is the third
and one of the most painful
STDs. It can be transmitted
by contact with infected
sexual organs, even with hand
contact. The symptoms are
painful sores on or around the
genitals, fever, and painfiil or
frequent i^ed to urinate. This
STD can lead to a heightened
risk of cervical cancer in
women, occasional flare-iq)s,
and brain damage to the un-
born child, premature biith
and even death may occur.
TlKre is no known cure for
Genital Herpes only pain re-
lieving dmgs.

The fourth STD is Chlamy-
dia and one of the most com-
mon STD in the U.S. It is
transmitted by contact with
the vagina, mouth, eyes, ure-
thra, or the rccmm . The symp-
toms are a discharge from the
penis or vagina, painful urina-
tion, and lower abdominal pain
in women. Chlamydia can
result in sterility in both men
and women, and newborns can
have eye damage and infant
pneumonia. Chlamydia can
be effectively cured with treat-
ments from antibiotics.
Most of these STDs can be

prevented by sexual absten-
tion. But for many people this
step is unrealistic. While the
use of condoms is not 100%
safe, it aids in the protection
againsttheseSTDS. Condoms
are ir^xpensive, easy to use
and available without prescrip-
tion. Many Planned Parent-
hood clinics give coiKloms
away free. Use (Hily the latex
type and never use petroleum
or oil based products with
them. These products can
cause the condoms to deterio-
rate. No one wants to experi-
ence the results and even the
symptomsof these STDS. You
may not have to if you use a
condom. These STDs are not
in some far away laiKl, even
gcmonhea penetrates small col-
leges like Delaware Valley.
Sexually Transmitted. Dis-
eases are a deadly and serious
matter. While some may cause
only a rash, others may be
fatal, threatening even an un-
born child. Be advised the use
of condoms can help prevent
contracting these insidious
STDS. Their use may not be
totally safe sex, but definitely
safer sex! ■

The Starfish Man

U.S. Department (^Health and Human Services

One morning at dawn, a young boy went for a walk on the
beach. Up ahead, he noticed an old man stooping down to pick
up starflsh and fling them into the scsl. Fmally, catching up with
the old man, the boy asked him what he was doing. The old man
answered that the stranded starfish would die unless they were
retumol to the water. "But the beach goes on for miles, ^d there
are millions of starfish," protested the boy. "How can what you're
doing make any difference?" The old man looked at the starfish
in his hand and then threw it to safety in the waves. "It makes a
difference to this one," he said.

STUDENTS OPINION

What is your definition of date rape ?

in your opinion is date rape a probiem at Del Vai?

HMlher O'Neill
CtaM of 95"

When a person you arc out
on a date forces himself on
you even though you have
asked him to stop.

I don't know if it is a prob-
lem at DVC - 1 haven't heard.!

TomFartey
ClMSof94'

It is a male forcing himself
on a female after she said no.

I haven't heard of it as a
problem on campus."

BettiStMk
Ctaee of "94

When an aquaintence or someone your seeing at the time takes
things beyond a certain point even after no is definitely ex-
pressed. I haven't personally t^ard of any cases but I am sure it
occurs. ■

UndaMute
Class of 95"

Date rape is when two people
go on a date and one forces the
other to make sexual demands
and physically attacks that
person.

I am not aware of any date
rape problems at Del Val. I
have heardof several girls who
were raped, but I'm not sure if
it was date rape. ■

HoHle Kochwiski
aassof95'

The act occurs when two
people are out together and
one demands sexual favors of
the other.

It doesn't seem to be a prob-
lem here. ■

Robsrt Hughes
aassofga of it.*

Date rape, when the person you are dating forces himself or
herself sexually without consent of the other person. 1 don't know
if it is a problem , but 1 am sure it exists, as tliey would on any
campus. ■

Rich Rathbun

When one partner doesn't

...from Security

A currrat topic of much dis-
cussion among resident stu-
dents is the subject of the re-
cent room inspections carried
outduring Spring Break. Some
(jucstion the right of college
personnel to enter a student's
room without his/her approval
and/or presence. Complete
information on this can be
found on Pgs. 58 & 59 in the
current student handbook. I
will also use this form to give
you some information on rou-
tine room inspections:
JiJifiD: Routine, random room

inspections are held at least
twice during the year, usually
during vacation periods. No-
tices are posted indicating
when they wiU take place.
fit Inspections arc conducted
by members of the campus
safety committee, the Deans
office and Security. Rooms
arc entercd by Iwc people,
never by one person alone.
Why- T o be cenain that resi-
dence hall policies and safety
mles are being complied with.
Any iUegal item noted during
an inspection, e.g.. Woking
apparatus other than a micro-
wave, candles, weapotis^tc,
is confiscated and taken to the
Dean of Students offi^ where
the student may claim it at the
end of the semester. Disci-
piuiary actions and/or fines
may be imposed for such vio-
lations.

How- When rooms are en-

Be Credit Qard Smart

Sure, a credit card meansj

money and freedom. But us

ing a cars too often can Icadj

you into a financial disaster

Before you know it, you're

charged to the maximum of

your credit line, you can't make the payments, the bank is

after you, and you're stuck in the credit trap. Say good-bye
tr to that good credit rating you worked so hard for.

If you have a credit card or are thinking about getting one.
«ri here arc a few basic facts to keep in mind:

1

U $ Credit cards make sense when you save them for a real

emergency and pay off the entire amount you owe when yoi^

S) get the bill.

$ Visa, MasterCard and department store credit cards are
actually high interest loans in disguise. You'll pay as mucH
as 23 percent interest (called a finance charge) on the portion of
your bill that you don't pay off at the end of the month. You may
also have to pay an annual fee just for having the card. Then
there's the fee for using your card to get cash in advance (a very
bad idea), and yet another hefty fee each time your payment i^
late.

$ Credit cards cost you a bundle -just check the numbers: If youi
average unpaid credit card bill over the year is $5(X), and the
finance charge is 20 percent, you're paying $1(X) ($5(X) x 2C
percent ) in finance charges alone each year. Now figure in ttie
$20 annual card fee, and another $25 because your payment was
late one month. That credit card is costing you a whopping $ 145
a year ($500 x 20 percent = $ 100 finance charge + $20 annual fee
+ $25 late fee = $145). And that's in addition to the purchases
you've charged! It's a vicious cycle: before you know it, you can
only afford to pay off the monthly finance charge and yot^ never
get rid of the debt. Use cash instead of plastic and you'll savej

« yourself a lot of money. |

Science Olympiad

^ This years Science Olym-
piad was held right here at
DVC. For the past 5 years
Moravian College hosted this
international non-profit orga-
nization. Under Dr. Orr's su-
pervision. DVC took on the
chaUenge. He said, "I think
things ran well for the first
time, but there is always room
for improvement."

The Science Olympiad
competitions take place on
intramural, district, regional,
stale and national levels.

The Science Olympiad was
created in order to increase

student interest in science. The
tournaments are tough aca-
demic interscholastic compe-
titions that have about 32
events which consist of suchl
science topics as biology,
chcm istry , earth science, 01)^-
ics, computer, and technology,
all combined in one large
Olympiad.

Dr. Orr would like to thank
the student volunteers for all
of their help. "I couldn't have
done it with out them," he
said. If the Olympiad is held
here next year, he will need all
of his valuable helpers again.

PET ^ CORNER

Q. Our Siamese cal,
being typical of the breed,
is extremely vocal.

He is 12 years old and
perfectly healthy. So we
were amazed a few days
ago when the cat opened
his mouth and no sound
came out. He had lost his
voice completely. It took
three days to come back.

Can cats have colds or
laryngitis? And what
could I do to help my cat
if this happens again?

A. Cats can catch
colds and laryngitis, but
not from the same bacte-
ria or viruses which cause
those problems in
humans.

However, there are
other possible causes of
feline laryngitis. A
growth in the laryngeal
area could affect the
voice. A reaction to a
small cut or scratch back
in that region which has
become infected also
could be the source of the
trouble. An imbedded
piece of foreign material,
such as a blade of grass,
also might cause such a

cue, >MD-||MT TAKES
fKtOKITY .

reaction. Usually such
causes would be accom-
panied by a cough as well
as loss of voice.

If this is the only time
this problem has oc-
curred, you don't need to
worry about treatment. If
it happens again, howev-
er, particularly in light of
your cat's age, take him to
your veterinarian. The
vet should examine the
cat, and depending on
how cooperative your pet
is, may use a very short-
acting sedative, making it
possible to actually see
the entire laryngeal areas
and the vocal folds.

OF THIS ISSUEim

Dear Aggie,

1 was wondering if you could help me out by telling me if there

are any one person rooms in the dorms on campus? I've roomed

with two different roommates and I can't seem to find the perfect

oite ! I'd like to be happy living here but I want my own room.

Please help me!

THANKS! Sincerely, wanting one person room

Dear wanting one person room,

Chie person rooms are very limited on campus, and unless you are

a senior with a low lottery number, your chances of getting one

of these rooms is not great. Also with the large number of

freshman arriving in the fall there is the possibility of no single

rooms.

If you are unable to get into one of these rooms there are
always other possibilities. If finances are not too bad there are
some small apartments located in this area. Your other option is
to try and find a person you feel compatible with. There may
be someone out there that can be your perfect roommate. Keep
looking and do not let this one tempr>rary setback niin your time
at Del Val.
Dear Aggie,

Why is the student center calied a "Student Center" when
there isn't much for students to d«! there?

Disgruntled
Dear Disgruntled,

The rea.son for the Student Center having such a name is
because is a place for students to gather. The Student Govern-
ment and the Student Activities Committee have their offices
there and hold all of their meeting upstairs. Mail boxes and the
student store are located there loo. Probably the most important
reason for its name is the fact that many events take place in the
student center such as. dances, comedians, concerts, and week-
end movies. The Soul purpose of this building is to create a pi <jce
for one to one-thousand people to meet and relax
Hope to see you ttwre!

Rumor Control

Tuition Increase

How You Will Be Affected!

By Paul Schneider
Tiita Demenezuk

Co-Ettiiors-in-Cheif

Rumor has it that tuition will be
increasing for the fall semester!
It is our goal is to dispel the false
rumors and set the record
straight. YES, tuiti(m is increas-
ing. NO, it is not only affecting
freshmen.

The next big question is WHY
is tuition increasing? A college is
like any other business and must
adjust the price of its product
accordingly to inflation. The
product of a college is called
eduM^on and the price for this
product is known as tuition. So
why is there so much contro-
versy over a tuition increase?
The main reascm for this conflict
is duetothe actual dollar amount.
A 4%-5% increase on afive digit
number such as tuition, seems
much more significant compared
to a 4%-5% increase on two to
three digit numbers such as ev-

quality and availability of DVCs
ery day consumer goods.

Last year the college started to
combat its fmancial difficulties
through a major re-organization
and a flattening of the institution.
There was a wage and hiring
freeze, cuts in admini^«tive po-
sitions and an average 6.8% tu-
ition increase. This year there
will also be a 9% tuition increase.

According to President West and
Dr. Antheil , there are two rea-
sons for such a substantial in-
crease, 4%-5% above inflatim.
First, all higher education has
been affect ed by a cut in state aid.
with [xivate schools being hit the
hardest. DVC lost roughly half a
milliou in state aid out of its 16
millicm dollar budget needed for
the 92-93 academic school year.
Second, DVCs tuition is on the
low end compared to other pri-
vate institutions in its category. A
questi(m has been raised, how-

Project Friendship Gardens

Seeds to Russia

By Bruee Eaton
A A ElSports EtStor

A couple of weeks ago President Bush signed a bill to give the
Russian Federation about $12 bilion in aid for economic stabilization
and recovery. A huge aid package to an eccmomy that is on the brink
of collsq[)8e. But this tax payer often wtmders how much of that money
gets throu^ national bureauaacy and into the hands of the citizens
it is meant to help.

After another severe Russian winter, with huge food shortages and
lines the people of the Russian Federation need a real break. The
Russian citizens are not getting the practical help they need to survive
and thrive in a time when individual contribution is mandatory for
survival. Forget pditics. Forget missiles. Forget boundaries. The
people need to eat, and miles and miles of red tape are not the answer
toaproblem with the possibility of calaclysmicefTect A pragmatic {dan
is needed to achieve practical solutimis.

Dr. J(rim Avery, chairman of DVCs Agribusiness Dqpartmoit,
and Mr. James Cantrill of Educational Advisory Services Int., have
launched a project to help Russian citizens feed diemselves. h is
Project FHendship Gardens. They are supplying Russian citizens with
vegetable seeds to grow their own food. This is a person-to-person
project. A tangiMe means to aid the Russian peqple.

President West Discusses
Tuition issue...

ever, when comparing the
facilities to diose of other private
sdiooht. It seems that inivate
sdKwls in DVCs category have
more toofler in these areas. For
instance! the gynmasium/weight
room and student dorms/lounges
at DVC are of a much lesser
quality.

Although tuition seems high
when examining thetotal amount,
82% of DVC students receive
some type of scholarship, gram
or financial aid package, which
generally covers more than half
of their tuition costs. The loss of
state funding will, in part, be made
up through a rise in tuition. In
i^ition, the college will be in-
creasing fmancial aid and schol-
arships to combat the inflated tu-
ition.

The Plight of
the Wolf

By Un Mitk9

Business Manager

The essence of what is wild aiKl
free, a predator, an eleguit and
gracious embodiment of life- this
is the w(df. He is a gregarious,
highly dtvelopcA, social aniinal
that often niat» for life and shares
equally in the resptnisibility d
raising the young. Unfortunately,
the wolf is so misunderstood and
hated that his existence is becom-
ing threatened. Fanners and
ranchers in Montana are cam-
paigning the wolf to the brink of
extinction. They are fearful of
losing some sheep (»- cattle to
these predators.

In past years the wolf has been
fiercely hunted and mtagonized
by man. The wolTs genus has met
the fmality of bullet and poison
for decades and now even town
meetings fnxn Miimesota to Mon-
tana center themselves around
eliminating the wolf from the
North American Continent.

The aspect Amoica seems to
forget when seiuling a species
down the peth of extincticm is
very clear, yet it is rarely ever
considered on behalf of the
wolves. Too often, I read the
wolf is a vicious killer and a sav-
age beast that belongs only in the
annals of an encyclopedia, in {Hc-
ture form of course. In lurtuality,
there has been no documented
case in North America of a human
ever being attadced by a healthy
wolf. Many incident rqxxts cen-
ter around wolf/d(>g hybrid pets
tuming vkious. Once again, this
is the product of human interven-
tion. Since humans breed these
hybrids for profit, the genetic
mixture is often incompatible,
which often results in the animal
going mad.

The pure bred Wolf is of a
different characto^. They
kill only what they need
in order to feed them-
selves and their family.
Tbt wolf is an integral
part of the predatori)rey
food chain preyingmostly
on the old and weak or
the young and innocoit.
Thus, the wolf functions
to keep other herd spe-
cies in a healthy state.

Also, consider the wolfs
in^ator status and contrast it to
that of our own. We are not so
different. Whether we realize it
or not, the filets neatly packaged
in the supermarket and the fast
food at the restaurant chains didn't
just magically appeal pre-pack-
aged in cellophane. We too are
predators! We, as a species, are
predators of the most feared kind,
because we kill not only to eat but

Many of you are well aware of the mix-up in our last Spotlight On... feature story in the April fools issue.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused Lita, LB and/or the school. We ask you, our

for spoxi and recreation.

It seems the American spirit is
awfully quick to jump the gun
v^en the roles are reversed, tt
is time for us, yes, right here at
DVC, to start supporting this
pooriy misunderstood animal's
return to the wild. We must write
our congressmen to sui^xxl the

bills that would allow these crea-
tures a triumphant return to ar-
eas of Yellowstone Park and
other north-west regions. All of
us, wolves and humans, birds
and bugs, share this natural
world. We are but a part of the
highly interwoven structure of
planet ei."'' Honestly, humans
should not b« . ' ving God. We
should adopt the rolw *" mentor

or keeper of this beautiful planet
As mentor, it is our duty and obli-
gation to protect and preserve the
natural world. If you think about it,
it is iK>t the wolves tfiat intruded
into our world, it is we «^o in-
truded into their world. If we insist
upon encroaching into their re-
ceding natural domain, ttoi it be-
comes our inherent resp<»isibility
to provide for their preservation.
Allowing the wolf to remain in ex-
istoice must never come down to
a monetary decision, but must be
based strictly upaa what is right
and what is good. All one has to do
to understand the situation is to
trade pi aces with the wolf for a split
second and, instantly, what is right
and what is wrong makes itself
overwhelmingly apparent The
wolf stays! It is an embodiment of
all that is wild. It symbolizes our
frontier history and our d^ire that
is wild.

more about the wolf, 1 highly rec-

WDVC
On the Air

By Brue9 Eaton

AAEJSports Ettilor

WDVC has begiui transmission aiKl there seems to be no end in sight. The hard-line
to the control board was repaired by Eric Bish and Jeff Firranmeyer. A signal is now
transmitted from the student center to the dining hall.

The system has been inspected, and the compressors are not damaged. The compres-
sors gatho- the signal and disseminate it to the transmitters. The transmitters, however,
are beyond repair and must be replaced. The staff is going to purchase a transmitter this
week and begin broadcasting throughout the campus.

New coaxial cable must be bought to carry the signal from the station to the tansmitters.
The signal is split from the transmitters by couplers and then carried through coaxial cable
to each donn. This is radio, and it will happen m this campus.

The cost of this endeavor is greatly reduced by student labor. The staff plans to do most
of the installation ttemselves. Tbey can run the coaxial cable throughout the campus,
which is the most time-consuming labor in the fM^oject.

The staff is planning a fund-raiser before the end of the semester to help cover the cost
of their purdiases. WDVC needs DJ's, advertising representatives, and record company
limoa to join the staff. It is time to get involved in a grass-roots project.

WDVC is on the second floor of the Student Center, next to the game room. Contact
Eric Bish in the Dean of Students office, or John Hirth, Box 61249, to get involved.

CLR
WHO?

By Mary Lou Wagner

Who are those gray-haired la-
dies in dacks and aging gentle-
men in sweaters that clog iq) the
cafeteria line and keep you wait-
ing fw your lunch? Then they
grab all of the tables and chatter
like teenago-s about Mark Twain,
Dickens and the state of the
economy!

You probably have guessed it:
they're the latest wrinkle in con-
tinuing education, members of the
Center For Learning In Retire-
ment. Tht Center was brought to
Ddawne Valley College about
five years ago by the late Ed
AndenoD, who had worked in a
similar organization on the cam-
pus of Harvard, and who had
loved it, and wanted to enjoy it in
ttie community in which he had
just retired, Doylestown.

Leaning in retirement pro-
grams have proved so popalai
that they are growing by leapt
and bounds. They work like this:
the teachers are not paid fw their
work, their course requirements;
ihen is no homework and atten-
dance is volimtary.

Nevertheless, everybody
takes tiie course very seriously.
The students feel privileged to
attend because the teachers are
not only eiuxllaA in ttwir fields
but for the most part have had a
history of distinguish^! service
that has been recognized over a
lifetime.

For example, teaching world
agriculture is no less an expert

than Dr. Joshua Felstein, the
former President of Del VAl.
Teaching a course on Dickens is
the President of the Dickens So-
ciety, Dr. Earle Mc Williams. John
Eastbum, a retired Vice Presi-

^nt of the Midatlantic bank, and
Alan Dewar, a chartered finan-
cial planer, handle a seminar on
finance. Where can you get all oi
this brilliance for $35.00 a semes-
ter?

Why do these men give up their
time to teach the classes? Simply
because they have all this knowl-
edge and can't bear to see it
wasted. They oijoy sharing it
with others. Sharing is the word
because some of the teachers in
one class becmne students in an-
other.

Probably the best thing about
CLR is the interchange of ideas
that it generates. Most of tlK stu-
dent have accumulated a life-time
of e]q)erience and they bring this
with them to class. They are en-
couraged to contribute out of the
(tepth of their knowledge.

Now, while you are struggling
and trying to budget your time to
get good marks, it may seem
strange that people go to school
because they like to. Nothing is
more exciting than discovering a
new idea. Nothing.

Being old (oops-mature) is not
so bad. You don't have to pn-ove
anything to anybody. You have
enough money. You understand
human nature and can be gener-
ous with people who think differ-
ently. You've learned so much,
but you never, never leam it all.
That's the fun of CLR. |

According to Hughes and
Ward, there will be many positive
dianges next year. They plan to
reorganize Studoit Govemmoit,
gel a new budget set up to better
meet the needs of students ai^
the school, get more students
involved and get the WDVC ra-
dio station i^> and nmning agun.
In addition, they also have some
new kieas for next year's Christ-

ernment banquet.

"We will let the students know
who we are and what we are
doing by implementing our open

door policy. We need more stu-
dent involvement," said Ward.

They are both currently plan-
ning a new off-campus advertis-
ing campaign to help bring the
conununity and DVC together.
"We need the surrounding
Doylestown residents to know
who and what we are." Hughes
said. They added that people
need to know that DVC is not the
Farm School it used to be, its
much, much more.

bino was elected the 92/93 Stu-
dem Government Treasurer and
Andy Long was elected the 92/93

Part Two: Be Credit Card Smart

When you sign up f ot a credit
card you're signing on for a big
responsibility because it's you
who will be responsible for pay-
ing those bills. Follow these
golden rules of credit manage
ment and ymill lead a fmacially
iMalthy life:

$ Use credit only of you are certain you will be able to repay your debt.

$ Think through your purchase carefully before you say, "Charge it."
Never, ever, use a credit card on impulse. ArKl never use it to lift
your spirits because you will feel even worse what it's time to pay
thebiU.

$ Save your aedit card for a real emergency. Using a card to pay for]
s{ning vacation is neither an emergency nxx a good idea.

Early Warning Signs of Trouble

Here's another important fact you should know about credit: If you don't
pay your bills on time, collection agoits and your creditors (the people
you owe) will start sending threatening letters and calling you. They
may even sue you! Are you heading for financial disaster? Check out
these warning signs:

$ You're borrowed to the maximum of your credit limit.

$ The amount you owe increases each month.

$ You're barely able to make the minimum mtmthly payment.

$ You're using a aedit card for essential living expenses such as
groceries aiui clothing.

$ You're taking cash advances on your credit cards to make other
credit card payments.

$ You're spending 15 percent or more of your monthly income on
credit card payments.

Friend Blasts
Specter For
Being Anti-Free
Speech

Press release

( Villanova, Pa) At a speech today
at ViUanovaUniversity on "pditi-
cal correctness," Friend blasted
two-term incumbent Arlen Spec-
ter for being an ally of the anti-
free speech movemoit on col-
lege campuses.

Commenting on the "Political
Correctness" movement on
American campuses Frioid said,
"It's the 1 990s version of McCar-
thysm. I^)litical correcmess flies
in face of intellectual freedom
and free speech straight mit of an
Orwell book.

"The same bunch of looney
left-wing liberals who want to
suppress freedom of speech on
college campuses also want to
restrict freedom of speech in
political campaigns.

"They have created a mood of
intolerance in this county. If you
dare to disagree with their liberal
point of view you are immedi-
ately branded with their vogue
name of the month, be it anti-
semetic, hcnnophobic or racist.

"I have received criticism from
both the liberal Fellowship Com-
mission and the Philadelphia
Conunission on Human Relations.
Fw example, when I criticize
Arlen Specter for supporting the
$1 Obillion loan to Israel or block-
ing the sale of F-15's to Saudi
Arabia, Tm labeled Anti-Semetic.

"When I mention that I have
accepted Jesus Christ as my per-
s(»al Savior, the liberals accuse
me of 'fanning the embo-s cf re-
ligious discord or conflict." When
it becomes necessary for a public
offlcial (X a candidate to apolo-
gize for publicly ^knowledging
his God, then this nation is in^ed
in dire straits."

Riend asked, "Where were
the Philadelphia Conmission on
Human relations and fellowship
Commission when the Philadel-
phia Daily News r eported on
March 25, 1992 that Arlen Spec-
termaliciously manipulated a Sis-
ter of Mercy nun in a political
radio commercial in a blatant at-
tempt to influence Catholic vot-
ers? Specter was forced to pull
the conunercial and the silence of
the liberal, do-gooder interest
groups. It was clear that their in-
terest in intergroup harmony is
very selective.

IMend said, "Specter has not
cosponsored Senator Larry
Craig's (R klaho) legislation S
1484 The Freedom of Speech
onCampus Act of 1991 ."If Arlen
Specter were as concemed about
free speech as he is about taking
political contributions from radi-
cal

■ left-wing groi^M sudi as the radical
gay rights group. Human Rights Cam-
paign Fund, he wmild co-sponsor
Senator Craig's legislation.

Friend said, if elected to the Senate,
he wouki co-sponsor and push for the
passage of The Freedom of Speedi
on Campus Act, which states that stu-
dents attending Universities, or other
institutions that receive federal funds
should be able to exercise full rights
to freedom of speech on campus free
frtnn official intrusion.

Friend concluded by stating, "Our
state and nation face serious ptob-
lems, which are not going to be solve
by name calling by the left. We must
be willing to have open and frank
debates on public policy without re-
verting to the intolerance that is pa-
vading our college campuses." ■

DEL-VAL

EQUESTRIAN

TEAIM

By ShanmoH Murphy

Staff Writer

The Dcl-Val Equestrian team
is the Reserve Champion of our
regim. They were awarded the
ribbon at the annual IHSA Re-
gional Banquet. As well as being
Reserve Champion as a team,
Del-Val sent nine people to com-
pete individually at Regimals.
They were Debbie Armstrong,
Heather Bankard, Patty Bennett,
Kate Flynn, Bill Harris, Tabathia
Haubold, Lori Heyback, Kelly
Ritsick and Joanne Stagliano.

Bill Harris placed first and was
awarded a trophy for the walk/
trot division. This is the second
year in a row that a rider from
Del-Val won this division.
Tabathia Haubold placed sec-
ond in the open on the flat divi-
sion. Lori Heyback placed sec-
ond in the open over fences and
third in open on the flat. All three
went on to compete in 21ones,
which is the equivalent of state
championships.

The qualifying team members
went to Zones, and they all placed:
Tabathia 5th, Lori 3rd and Bill 5th.
Unfortunately to go to Nationals
you must place in the top two
places.

The team would like to thank
the co-captains, Debbie Arm-
sU'ong and Allyson Levine, and
coach Clair Harris for all their
hard work this year. ■

Some Growing Pains

DVC Women's Softball

By Shannon Murphy

Staff Writer

The DVC Softball team, coached by Linda Fleischer is really on the
ball. Already this season, the has surpassed last season's record. The
team's overall record is 5-9 and they are 2-2 in the MAC conference.
Coach Fleischer is hopeful that the team will win five or six more
games this season and show even greater improvement over last year's
record. Coach Fleischer said. "The team in general is young. We are
going through some growing pains right now. We lack a solid pitcher,
Imt we are improving as a team every game."

The team is getting into the groove. Kelly Sciss (centerfield) has been
hitting well this season, and both Kate Flynn (outfield) and Becky AlUnan
(shortstop) have been showing a great deal of strength offensively and
defensively. When asked how the team was playing. Lisa Tomko said,
"I think that we have a lot of quality players on the team, but we need
to leam to worry about ourselves instead of what everyone else is
doing. We need to keep our chins up and have a positive attitude".!

Rumor

(Continued from Page 1)

Many people are wondering why
tuition is not lowered through the
use of the development program
funds. The answer is that money
taken in through this program is
used for refurbishing buildings,
building new facilities, faculty
development funds and some
scholarships, whereas money
from the operating budget is put
toward fmancial aid, salaries, main-
tenance, and all other basic oper-
ating expenses.
Now that you know who will be
affectni by this raise in tuition and
when it will be implemented, the
final question is how much. There
are two separate tuition pack-

EDITORS NOTES:

ages. One for students entering
after June, 1991 (I^shmen and
Mw transfers) and one for stu-
dents entering pricNr to that date.
The following charges which
apply to students altering afta
7/91 are combined with enhanced
financial aid, which also began at
that time:

Tuitiwi/fees: $5,545

Room: $980

Board:

(16 meal plan) $1135
(20 meal plan) $1260

Equine Fee: $1000

Those inclined in this pbji will
have a higher dollar figure due
to the new increased fmancial
aid package.

The following breakdown is for
students who came to the college
fHiorto7/91.

Tuiuon/fees: $5,095

Room: $980

Board:

(16 meal plan) $1135
(20 meal plan) $1260

Equine fee: $1(X)0

This package is adjusted for
those who are not on the new
financial aid program.
Eventually, as each incoming

EDITORIAL

class is put into this program, the

tuition diiferoice will level out,
and all students will pay the same
base tuition amount. This plan is
slightly differem than some other
college programs in which tuition
is raised in one lump sum and then
frozen for four years.
Statistics show that 40% of those
seeking higher education choose
to attend independent colleges and
50% of them earn degrees. The
advantages to a small private school
are small classes, better faculty to
student ratio and a warm family
atmosphere. At DVC, most faculty
members are full-time which makes
a difference in cost and faculty
availability. Many administrators
at Del Val also teach courses which
puts them in direct contact with the
students, unlike most large state
schools. DVC is very competitive
in the professional ranks. The
school has a very high placement
rate, with 95% of its graduates gain-
ing employment in their chosen
fields or entering graduate school
within a year of graduation. Re-
cently, Del Val has expanded its
majors in fields such as criminal
justice and education. The
school's fiihire plan is to add more
majors and diversify its curricu-
lum. ■

To the Editor:

In response to tfie letter from Amy Lulnmky.

I disagree with your letta about the check cashing policy. Studotts
have every right to speak up itooat not being ibk to get their money.
You said it yourself, the check cashing policy is a service provided for
DVC students. Since it is a sovice to students, they should either have
it or get rid of it if they can't keep with the demands.

As for talking to Mrs. Pratt when the si^ says,"No check cashing No
exceptions" it means just that. The only way Mrs. Pratt could have
helped that guy who needed money would have been to cash his check.
If you make exceptions for one person you have to make exceptions
for everyone!

Faculty

An Influence
on the Developement of their Students

Throughout the U.S., small pri-
vate colleges are best known for
die close and friendly repore be-
tween studoits aiui faculty. Many
students dxoo$e to attend anall
independent colleges for this rea-
son alone. Not only do their in-
structms know them byname,
they also intoact in campus ac-
tivities and oicourage students to
do the same.

Faculty at small {nivate colleges
can encourage or discourage stu-
dents because they are very in-
fluential when it comes to stiKlent
thought and attitude. A faculty
member who constantly displays
a negative, less than enthusiastic
attitude and refuses to cooperate
or participate with otho-s in cam-
pas ^tivities can have a detri-
mental effect on these young
minds as well as the entire cam-
ixis. His^er students will

mirror the image they observe
and become or remain inactive
themselves.

A prime example of this be-
havior can be seen in some of the
faculty members right here at
DVC. There are a few select
faculty members who do onit
slightly negative attitudes which
seem to infect sane students.
Additionally, there are others in
the faculty who's attitudes ex-
hibit an absolute lack of enthusi-
asm. There is no place in an
educational environment for
these types of attitudes, even if
they stem frran feelings of "low
wages" or from working here
too long and beccnning stagnant
themselves. PartofourfacuUy's
job is to encourage students to
become active and contributing
members of our campus commu-
nity. One example of the cloud
of iwgativian and lack of involve

ment on this campus can be viewed
through examining the turn out
for Pride and Polish Day. Out of
1,300 people, studoits and faculty
combined, there wae only 200
contributes. College should pro-
vi(te a social education as well as
an acadonic one. It is imperative
that the faculty share with the stu-
dems, who are the future leaders
of our country, lessons and advan-
tages of contributing to our com-
munities. It is through these out-
of-class lesswis that students learn
about every-day life.

There are many outstanding fac-
ulty members on this campus as
well as many exceptional stu-
dents. Watch out for those with
negative attitiKles, ieam to gather
infoination and make your own
judgement while keeping an c^n
and positive mind as you strive to
be the best that you can be.

tS & ENTERTAINMEN

An Attempted Trip to the
Philadelphia Art Museum

By Paul E. Schneider

Co- Editor

On Sunday afternoon March 8, 1 991 . my girlfriend and I headed out
for the Philadelphia Art Museum. Upoi arrival in center city, we
decided to first find a hot dog stand and have lunch. Once we finished
with this questimable cuisine, we started back toward the car. On our
way we came across an interesting looking tniilding roughly 1/4 mile
from the PhiladelfAia An Museum. Out of curiosity, we took a detour
to explwe its afdiaic domain which resulted in our staying the remain-
der of the afternoon.

The Rodin museum was foimded by a man named Jules E. K(Iastbaum
who was one of Philadetphia's great movie theater magnates and one
of its best known iAilailtim)pists. He began collecting Rodin's work in
1923 and by the time of his death, in 1926, he had the greatest Rodin
collection out«de of Paris. The museum, foumied by his estate, opened
in 1 929 andhous« 124 sculptures. Mastbaum dedicated the museum "to
his fellow citizeas.**

As we were walking by the museum, a statue that sits out front caught

my eye; it was a copy of the famous sculpture, "Tlie Thinker".

Recognizing this from a texttxwk I decided to explore what was behind

it. As we walked throu^ the entrance gate, which simulates the

monumrat of Ro(i&i't burial place in Paris, we entered a courtyard with

a rectangular pond in die center. Across the coiutyard sits the front of

the building to which is liOached one of Rodin's four molds of ^Tte Gates

of Hell." Thu lifetime work, which he never completed, is one of his

most funoui] Jtiikapowerful sculpture that stands 20 feet high and 13

feet wide. One could come and study this (me piece for a whole day,

if not for a month or so. Many of the pieces inside the museum, such as

"Eternal Springtime", have been incorporated into the "Gates of Hell",

which was his most challenging and daring work of ait. It gave him the
(^>portunity to put many figures on a small scale. The 1 80 agonized and

writhing figures are invdved in contorted movements, >i^ile ^The
Thifdier", who is positioned at the top, diligottly ccmtonplates the fate
of mankind.

Afto- we fmished examining "The Gates of Hell", we ento-ed the
building to find six life-sized figttfes,"The Burghers of Calais", posi-
tioned in the mkklle oi the hall. Not knowing what they were, but
realizing the significance of their positioning, I bought a guide book.
Seeing my interest in this group of sculptures, a museum security guard
iqjproached and "briefed" us on their story. I was pleasantly surprised
by this chubby, middle-aged, fellow as he shared his vast wealth of
information on *'The Burghers of Calais," Rodin, and Mastbaum with
us. As we moved through the rest oithe museum, I came to realize how
intrigued I was with the perfection and detail of Rodin's w(Hk. The
pieces I saw and appreciated most were the ones that expressed his
view of women's beauty. A piec« that absolutely intrigued me was
Rodin's sculpture, "The Sirens," which was done in plaster as well as
bronze.

The emotion that pours out of this, and all of Rodin's work, is intriguing.
As I thought only a half an hour or so had passed, I glanced at my watch
and realized the aftemocm had disappeared and it was time to leave.

This extraordinary place is only one example of the many free sights
to see in Philjuleli^ia. It is an excellent way to relax and "get away"
from it all. ■

Philadelphia 's Culture,
Science and Art

By Marci Carroll

St^ Writer

The city of Biiladeli^ia offers so many opportunities to leam about
science, culture, and art. If science is your beaker oX chemicals, ttie
Franklin Institute may be just for you.. It houses a science museum, a
planetarium, and the Benjamin Franklin National Manorial. The science
museum is a %Tt3i deal of fiin that allows visitors to touch almost every-
thing. There is even a giant walk-throu^ heart that enables you to hea*
the heat beat and see all the arteries. The Franklin Institute is located on
20th St. and Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Their phone niunber is (215)
448- 1200. It is best to call before going becMise there are always special
events going on that you may not want to miss. For instance May 2 1 st will
be the premier showing of a Rolling Stones concert movie whidi w^ll
be shown on a four-story high screen accompanied by 56 speakers.

A hidden cultural spot in Philly is the Afro-Amoican Histtrioal and

Cultwal Museum. It focuses mainly on the history of black Philadel-

phians, but also (m black accomplishments in the rest of the United States.
Paintings, sculptures, prints and the performing arts capture the evolution

of Afro-Amerions while the paintings tell a chronological stwy. The

museum can be found cm 7th and Arch Streets.

If you are looking for a peaceful afternoon full of Monet, Degas aiKi
VanGc^h. the Philadelphia Museum of Art is just the place. (Forall of you
movie buffs, that is the building writfa all the steps that Rocky ran up.) A
visit there makes for a relaxing and educatioiuU day. There are so many
wondolul masterpieces imder one roof, it is a "can't miss" i^ace. The
museum is located on the Benjamin Franklin Paikway apd W^ streets.
There is an entrance fee except oa. Sunday's from 12-lpm. Fot mwe
information and dates for special gallery openings call. (215) 787-548$.

Remember to keep your ticket stubs as well as any pamphlets you n^
receive because your visit may be counted for Cultural Enrichmat
credit.

Founder 's Day

Dream, Inspiration, Fulfillment, Legacy

This was the title of the keynote
speech delivered by Vice Chair-
man of iht Board of Trustees,
Arthur Foley, at this year's an-
nual Founder's Day ceremonies.
In his speech. Mr. Foley re-
viewed the college's history, em-
phasizing the original contribu-
tions of Dr. Joseph Krauskopf,
who founded the college in
1 896 as the National Farm School
at the suggestion of Count Leo
Tolstoy. Dr. Krauskopf started
a school that was intended to
improve the difficult conditions
and urban exploitations of
young Jewish people. He be-

Ram Pages in Revie w

Well , here we are at the final issue for the 91 -92 sanester. Since last
December, Ram Pages has undergone some major reorganization and
changes. Five months and six issues later Delaware Valley College
finally has a truly respectable college paper.

Ever since Del Val's paper took on the name Ram Pages in Oct(*er
of 1 980 it has flip-flopped back and forth from two to four- paged, letter/
tabloid sized church style newsletters. As we asked around and
researched what you. the students, wanted, we found the answer to be
a real newspaper. As we pursued our goal by ailarging the paper, we
also thought it would be interesting to add some color. As we began
looking into all of our options, it turned out we could jwint a true college
size ^apa on newsptqper print for the same cost and work hours. The
end result is obvious. We now have a multi-page newspaper with color
that address^ all student concerns and keq» the campus informed of
tipcoming events.

Working cm Ram Pag^ has turned from an ominmis task into a
imceless work experience that is actually a great time. There is
something here for evayone of any class w any major. Writing articles,
which is actually a small part of all the various jobs, is one way to let the
campus know your cmcems or interests. If you are not partial to writing;
you can apply yourself in areas like photc^aphy, advertising, laycnit ox
computer format and entry.

The benefite to be reaped from working with Ram Pages vary from
academic ai^evements, to business^ob contacts, to being able to say
you were a part of a quality publication. That is exactly where we are
now. Every day we are working at improving the quality of our paper.
We have come a long way, bttt we have a long way to go.

As far as we have come with the paper, it is our goal to do the same

with our business and advertising
departments. There are two main
' reascms we wish to develop these
departments. Hrst, it will be a
pl«:e for business majors, or any
(me else, to develop and utilize
practical skills beyond those
learned in the classroom. Sec-
ond, we would like to bring the
Doylestown conmunity and Del
Val College closer together.

As a review and a slight glance
into the future we will leave you
with a few thoughts. As students
it is your privilege to belong to
your college paper. You have
the right to voice your (pinions
and to be heard. For this to be
successful as a college paper, we
i»ed your involvement. A col-
lege newspaper is a reflec-
tion of the campus and its
students. We want you to
become an active part of
Ram Pages and a part of Del
Val's history. It's your choice
whether or not you leave behind
something to always be proud of.

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER,
AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU
IN THE FALL!

This Week's
Spotlight On...

By Jen Misko

Business Manager

Everyone knows Steve Ze-
nko... well maybe not, but he has
certainly affect«l each of our
lives. He is the gentleman at
Delaware Valley with the grand
title of Dir«:tor of Admissions.
He and his i^fanissions team, sta-
tioned in tlw flnancial aid build-
ing, recruit mA review entrance
applications for prospective
DVC students.

Mr. Zoiko sums up his job
hoe at Del Val in a rather con-
cise statement. He says he and
his staff are on a continuous
quest "fa- qualified students
that fit the Delaware Valley
College philosophy."

He also ackls that he is very
optimistic idx)ut Del Val's new
adinissi(Hi {vogram and feels that
President West is leading the
college in a positive directicm.
For the past two years, Del Val ' s
enrollment has been reaching
near capacity limits.

A Better Place To Be:

When asked why he en-
joyed being at Del Val, Steve
replied he enjoys the interac-

Steve Zenko

tim with the young people on
campus. He stated that "it is easy
to get out of bed in tbc morning,
the students give me enthusiasm
and keep the days fresh and inter-
esting." (te
the home-frcsit, Steve has a wife,
Nancy, and has two dau^ters,
Lisa and Krista. He is an avid bas-
ketball player and golfer. Steve
spends tiis leisure time reading.
He reads three or four newspa-
pers a day. Wow!

His advice to the students of
Del Val- "Your college years are
the best years of your life, the last

big 'hoorah* before you hit the
real world • appreciate them, en-
joy them and get involved while
you are here." Steve firmly be-
lieves that the college is here for
the students. It is our voices, our
thoughts and our student gov-
ernment that make this college
work.

Mr. Zenko is always wcs-king
diligently in his office and his door
is always open. Be sure to wave
or say "hi" when you pass his
office to pick up your check or
take care of some pending finan-
cial matters.

Happy Birthday Spider-Man

By P. Fischer

Staff Writer

The Marvel Comics character.
The Amazing Spider-Man, turns
thirty years old this year. This
marks another milestone of the
galaxy of comic books. Super-
man and Batman of DC comics
are over fifty years old, as well as
Marvel's C^tain America. Mar-
vel Comic's Incredible Hulk and
Fantastic Four also celebrate their
thirteemh birthdays this year.

In commemOTation of Spider-
Man's anniversary. Marvel Com-
ics plais to {Hiblish full holograi^-
cal covers for three of the five
regular, monthly Spider-Man
canu;s. Special stories are also
plannni, including fresh views of
his Q-eation.

Spider-Man was created by
Marvel Comics' Stan Lee and
Steve Ditko in 1962 to be a
differoit kind
of super-hero.
He didn't wear
a cape and he
had real life
problems. Spi-
der-Man was a
high school
bookworm.
He was the
loser from
down the street
who had prob-
lems fitting in
with his pe^s
and girls. At
first, Spk^-Man used his pow-
ers for money and an inflated
ego. But then Peter Parker's
unde was murdovd by a bur-
glv. md S{nder-Man could

have stopped it (Hily days before.
He felt guilty because he was gifted
with great powers and failed to use
them to {»-otect
the innocent.
Parker, as Spi-
d e r - M a n ,
learned that
with great
power comes
responsibilty.
Even so, Spi-
dey never
used his pow-
ers to get re-
venge on those
who treated
him badly.
The Spider-
Man stories remain rooted in
great-power-equals-great-re-
sponsibility morality plays. Msuiy
hot comic characters today kill or
use excessive violence to punish

their foes. Spidey remains to be
(»ie of the only modem heroes
who doesn't kill his foes; instead,
he jails them.

Thirty years from his concep-
tion, Spider-Man has changed
little. He's only a few years older
than he was when he received
his super strength and his ability
to climb shea* surfaces. He's
even happily married, and the
formula is still there. The red and
blue webbed wonder swinging
high over New York on his wrist
web shooters is a legendary
hero. Spider-Man is the star of
five different monthly comics.
So, if you remember reading
about him in your youth, you
shoukl pick up some new comic
books. Maybe you can fmd new
inspiration to your own imagina-
ti(m.

Sexual Harassment Policy

From the
Office of the
President

Sexual harassment will not be permitted at Delaware Valley Col-
lege. In order to insure that relaticmships betweoi perscms on our
campus are aipropriate and within current guidelines, a complaint
handling system is being developed by an ^ jJiQC committee of
concerned members of our College cmnmunity. I have requested that
(HIT administrators review our present sexual harassment policy,
research current legislation, case law, government regulations and
commentary of professional academic associations, and share that
information with the M llQ£ committee.

By early summer, updated policy and the ccnnplaint handling system
will be publicized to the whole College commimity. In the meantime,
any instances of sexual harassment will be dealt with promptly by the
office of the President.

George F. West
President

Founders Day

Dr. Woric assumed presidency at
a time when tl^ school faced de-
dining enrollment because of
the war and faced further difficul-
ties with the onset of the Korean
War. Nonetheless, Dr. Work
successfully fought for the pres-
ervati(Hi of the school as an inde-
pendent institution. It was prima-
rily due to his efforts that the school
became a fully accredited four-
year college in 1949.
Mr. Poley also recognized more
recent college leaders, including
former President Joshua Feld-
stein, who is currently President
Emeritus and a member of the
college Board of Trustees. Im-
portantly, Mr, Poley stressed the
most recent challenge facing the
college when, a year and a half
ago some of the college uustees
advocated the affiliation of the
college with the state university
system to solve current financial
exigencies. That proposal was
finally rejected by the Board of
Trustees. The college did not
affiliate and remains pnvate and

Page 3

indepoident. A new administra-
tion, under the directim of Pnsi-
dent George West, remains to-
tally committed to the colkge's
continued independence.

Following Foley's comments,
awards were bestowed upon
members of ow college. Twenty
year service awards were pre-
sented to college dean Craig Hill,
assistant biology professor John
Standing and the late Sally R.
Smith, a member of the English
department.

The student government chose
facility coordinator David Mull-
ins for its annual award. Mullins
also won the Staff Member of the
year award.

The Distinguished Faculty
Member Award went to assistant
biology professor Ronald John-
son. The Founders Day Award,
given to a student who shows out-
standing ability ir. campus, went
to senior horticulture major Eric
Bish.

A $5,000 scholarship awarded
annually in memory of business-
man William W. Smith was won by
Marvin E. Zimmcmian, a senior
dairy science major.

Institutional Injustice

On April 29 two Los Angeles police officers. Sergeant St»%y C.
Koon and Theodore J. Brisneo, were acquitted of the brutal assault of
Rodney G. King. Former (rfficer, Tunothy E. Wiml, was also acquitted
of all charges. Office Laurence M. Powell was acquitted of two
charges, and a mistrial was ruled on the charge of excessive use of force
as a police officer. Reaction. Stuimed silence and then a destructive
rampage throughout the city of Los Angeles. Questions. Hundreds.
Answer. Very few.

How could a police department that has virtually admitted its guilt
outside of the courtroom be exonerated of their guih inside our halls of
justice? A rookie officer. Timothy E. Wind, was dismissed by L.A. Police
Chief Daryl F. Gates a month after the beating. Dismissal is the ultimate
act of punishment, save criminal prosecution. This action was a clear
adinissionof guilt by the LA. Police Department. Why would a police
department dismiss an innocent officer?

Why did Chief Gates suspend officers, Ko<h). Powell, and Brisneo,
without pay the same day Officer Wind was dismissed? Is this not an act
of punishment and another admission of guilt by the Los Angeles Police
Department?

Why did the L.A. Police Department punish ten of the nineteen
police officers who watched the beating and did nothing to stop it, and
after the grand jury announced it would not press charges on those
officers?

Why did Officer Brisneo try to distance himself from the other three
officers at the trial? He was charged with assault md of using excessive
force as a police officer, based on one kick to the back of Rodney King's
neck while he lay on the ground. Brisneo claims that his kick was meant
to induce Mr. King to lie still on the ground so the beating would stop.
The videotape also shows Brisneo attempting to block a baton swing
m^le by Officer Powell.

Why would Brisneo, a career office with tenure, testify in court that
his fellow defendants were "out of ccmtroP at the scene, unless he and
his lawyer were not concenwd about the outcmne of the case? Brisneo
is white. There can be no argument of racial bias distorting his
perception (tf the event and the actions of his fellow officers. How can
ajury so easily dismiss the account of an eyewitness who is also a police
officer?

The primary argument of the defense was that the uninsuucted eye
could not truly understaml that the beating of Rodney King was a
means to cmtrd his aggressive resistance. This kind of subjugation
is justifiable force given the circumstances of the incident. In other
words the four officers struck Rodney King 56 times in 81 seccnids
because they had to. Rodney King was the aggressor and in control
dl the situation, and the police had gain control to make a safe arrest.
Rodney King was an unarmed, intoxicated man who took on four
officers and was in control ci the situation. How can a man be unarmed,
heavily intoxicated, and in control of a situation involving four primary
dfico-s and nineteen officers who acted as back-up?

The jury acquitted the four men df ten of the eleven charges in the
case. To the jury, there was reasonable doubt involved in the case. Yes,
the jury might be uninstructed in prapa police procedure, but they had
a police officer testify that the other (rfficers were "out of control".
Besides that, did the jury not feel the imitality of those 56 blows?

The jury agreed with the defense Rodney King was in control of
the situation while he was on the ground being beaten. The ctefense's
argument was that Rodney King instigated Um violence and craitinued
to resist, and the officers subdued the suspect using normal police
procedure. Would not any man, unless he was unconscious, attemiX to
evade blows inflicted by baton? Was that videotape an example of
normal and acceptable police procedure?

Did Rodney King receive a fair trial by his peers? The case was tried
in a predcnninantly white, conservative, Simi Valley, California. Ten
whites,one Korean and one Mexican sat in the jurors box. The jurors
refused to publicly comment on the verdict immediately after the trial,
but some jurors were anonymously interviewed later. Oiw juror
commented <m the relationship between the verdict and the riots: "I
think they were just waiting for something to happen so that they could
go out and destroy peqile's Uves and their property." This commoit
is hauntingly reminiscent of the (pinion some Los Angeles citizens
have of their police department

The analysis of the charges, trial and the verdict will be discussed for
years to cone, ortmtil another case of police teoitality is brought intothe
public arena. The ultimate question is whether or not this country
learns from this tragedy and rights its wrongs, or allows the violence
inheroit in our society to fester on the institutional level.

Paul DiMaria is the 1992 winner of the Dow Jones Wall
Street Journal Award which is presented annually by the
Business Administration faculty. This award is based
upon high academic standing and service to the college.
Some of Paul's achievments are listed below:
* Warwick Foundation Scholarship * Presidential
Scholarship * Dean's Ust * Business Club * "Who's Who

If Delaware Valley College is an Agricultural school, why does the
campus lode the way it does? Sure, the campus has some beautiful areas,
but compared to other colleges, such as Beaver or Ursinus (alibo^al arts
schools), this campus is an over grown and mismanaged mess. We are
preparing studoits for professional careers in landsc{4)ing, yet the
campus we live and leam cm seems to lack any professiomdism in this
area.

This problem is not only evident in our landsc^ing department and
major, but also in the house-keeping departmoit There is a great deal
of apathy and laziness in many of the employees who are in charge of
emptying and collecting trash. They feel they don't have to pick up the
trash lying beside the cans and around the campus. If it is not in a bag,
it just lies whoe it is. Does this college not have the control or
management skills necessary to encourage their workers to do their
jobs? I doubt it, but perhaps next year this school should start practicing
what it preaches, at least from tlw Business Department's uigle.

None of this matters if the student body, staff, and employees dcm't
give a hoot. This is an oivironmental school and it should look like it
One of the fvst things people see is tlK grounds, aiul it certainly has an
effect on their impression of the college. Schools of die Arts exhibit
fresh and unprecedented art work, emphasizing their taloits, proce-
dures and most of all their school reputation. This is nothing new,
students always strive to be the best in their field and show it. So why
doesn't DVC get it's head out of the dirt and start Uuidscainng it; making
a standard for all other environmental schools to work towards. We are

Aggie Baseball

By Bruce Eaton

Associate Eitttor

The Lady Aggies finished their
1992 season with a 2-6 record in
the MAC conferoice and S-21
overall. Coach Linda Fleischer
said, "Not a terrific record, but
this season is part of a rebuilding
process. I can see positive signs
of improvement."

Fleisdwr feels that as the sea-
son progressed the individual
players began to knit as a team,
and her younger players im-
proved with every game. Fleis-
cher said, "We have a good
nucleus of field players. Audrey
Diehl (Jr.,C) is an oithusiastic
player, she really sparks the team.
Joan Thomas (R.,2B) has bios-
smned into a good all-around
player, and she has found her
niche. Kristi Cehula (R-.,1B) has

the potential to be a super player.
The team has potential, and it is my
job to encourage aggressive
play."

Beischer's goal is to build a team
that dominates on the field. Fleis-
cher said, "We are out to change
game attitudes. This team is here
to play and win, not just show. It is
my job to motivate the players to
play to win."

Jen Siedel (Sr.,3B) has been an
aggressive player all season. Fleis-
cher said, "Jen is an exciting per-
sonality and this excitement
rubs off on her play. She plays
good, tough defoise."

Kate Flynn (So.,P/OF) is "an in-
tense player who is aware of ev-
erything that is going on in the
field . She's mentally involved and

The Movie Critic

City of Joy

Finally, a movie that touches on what it is to be a human being on
this planet. Max Lowe, an uimerved American physician travels to
Calcutta, India to do some soul searching. There in the midst oi
deplorable povorty he fmds the answer to his existence. The theme
of the movie revolves around the difficulties (xie encounters in just
trying to live life. Poignant pc»trayal by Patrick Swayze. Movie
contains some grotesque medical scenes for those of the squeamish
persuasion.
All in all, a good, tight drama with no loose ends. (3 Stars)

Kissed by a Stranger

/hear thunder

Crashing like swords

The light off the glinting steel is reflected in the jagged

shards of lightning

Power surrounds me

Swirling like the magijc of a thousand images

Alighting in my eyes and soul

Breathing my breath

Beating in my heart

Dancing within my mind

I must dance with it

Around and around. My robes flying about me like

feathers of silk

Twirling to the music of power

The sweetest music of all

It calls to me

Let me dance with you

For you are mine

And nothing can take you from me

Andlo!

The power becomes flesh

Dancing out of the shadows

With steps soft and soundless

But filled with inner music

A stranger to me, but known

For the power swirls in his eyes

He smiles

And holds out his hand

Dance with me

And again the music soars

Its beat my own heart

And now with his

Together we whirl

Faster andfaster

Around and around

Up in the air I jump

And he catches me

One hand strays through his soft hair

Into his eyes I stare

And his into mine

Until his head inclines

And I feel his lips touch my own

There we stay for an everlasting moment

Until the last drop of rainfalls

Then he disappears back into the shadows

And the music ends...

Cultural Enrichment

Continmdfhm Previous Page

brow things in order to gradu-
ate? Yes, and these require-
ments include, 3 museum trips,
3 concerts, 3 major sporting
evoits and any S lectures,
soninars, slide presentations or
field trips. These are the re-
quirements as stated by the Cul-
tural Enrichment Advisory Com-
mittee: Dr. Ziemer, Dr. Dia-
mond, Mr. Lawrence and Mrs.
Roberts.

After all, who wouldn't be put
off by Cultural Enrichment ?
You go to watch and listen to

people, music, and objects that
are entertaining, and ymi get
much more than a Cultural
Enrichment credit back. You end
up receiving a personal ac-
knowledgement of an a{^recia-
tionofapast,or different, kind of
life that, normally, we don 't see or
participate in. Those feelings that
we carry hrane from Cultural
Enrichment events deserve to
be written about maybe in the
DVC Gleaner or here in the Ram
Pages.

Cultural Enrichment credits
were started in 1 988 and the Class
of 92' is the first to feel it's full
power. It was created as a result

of poor student attendance at
DVC spoisored concerts. Be-
sides, hoiKstly, it's a payoff for
students who want to attend and
bribery for students who might
not be originally motivated to go.
So, we need to get a better
definiticRi of "Cultural Enrich-
ment" for our incoming fresh-
men to uiKlerstand next year.
We need to figure out if a cred-
ited class, such as Chorale, can
"double dip" for their concerts.
Is this fair? Can a concert be
counted as more? Can a concert
be only worth a fraction of one
of the 14 points thai we need?
What if those who take Band or

Cho-ale don't have to get a Cul-
tural Enrichment credit at all. The
Cultural Enrichment credit is can-
celed by the Chorale or Band
Credit.

If you pass the criteria or test
to be allowed to sing at a concert
isn't the coacett only a way of
showing off our classroom
learned accomplishments?

I think if we revise some of
what exists as Cultural Enrich-
ment and communicate its aims
and goals to the entire student
body that it will pay off in the end.
Students will learn that being
brave enough to Join in, learn and
participate in new things can pay

off. I think this is what Cultural
Enridiment is all about. In clos-
ing, I think what we need are
answers to all of our structuring
questions. We need order and
coherence to clear up this jumbled
issue.

I would like to acknowledge
Dr. Ziemer, Mr. Lawerence and
Mrs. Roberts for background on
this article. Any further questions
on Cultural Enrichment should be
addressed to them, along with
Dr. Diamond. They are on the
Cultural Enrichment Advisory
Committee.

First A-Day Experience

What An Experience It Was!

By Cindy Mleziva
AAE Editor

Every week dijring the past
two semesters represoitaiives
of various clubs and (vganiza*
tions of Delaware Valley Col-
iefe collectively pimn^ what
A-Day 1992 would be. As a
freshmm. I followed aimig at
these meetings. ! couldnH be-
lieve all that had to be approved
and voted on. As A-Day came
near, the work really began.
The ^jpearance <tf tiecMiixtt
changed to one of mil intfa
booths which needed to be
painted. T\m majority of tite
"setting up- wcwlt for A-Day
was done the Friday before.
Eva7(me gathered aroumi the

information booth and waited for
their assignments. There was
quite a few pec^le there, yet I
was $uri»-ised not to see a bunch
more. Nevertheless, everything
from carrying up the ticket booths
(which were (wetty heavy) to
raakuig even the garbage cans
look good was accomplished.
The A-Day committee and all
those who pitched in did a great
job in in^qiaring the canq>us fw
what is Hk kiggeat event of the
year.

Afierthecainpus was piepared,
dabi and organizations readied
tear exhibitions, ftwn horse
shows to ma^ itewf» ev»y

Ji^l^l

major, club, mi organization was
refxesented. As a fireshman, I
was very glad I could help my club
and the A-Day committee in the
jM^aration because I dra't think
anyone can fully appreciate and
enjoy A-Day until they become a
pan of making it happen. Being
involved early in college life gives
only that much more time to do it
again, and when its all over, and
everything is numing smoothly,
one can relax and enjoy A-day
with their friends and family know-
ing the accomplishment they
helped their college lOtain. It re-
ally is a great weekend for all.

mental attitude. Think about
staying up all night as a long-
distance race. You don't want
to bum yourself out byswint-
ing the first few miles. Realize
the amoimt of studfinljf you have

aheid of you, and maintain a steady
pace. Dtm'tJttyouneU'get over*
whelmed or work too fast-you'U
either become frustrated and give
up or won't retain it. Reserve exam
anxiety for tomorrow; tonight, just
steadily study at a decent clip.
Second, eat to fuel your body for

a long night In a normal IS or
16-hDurday, M(»t studoitseat
thiw meals, or one every five
hours. Tonight you'll be an
extra eight hours, and you will
definitely need more calories
to stay itt:tive. But don't eat a
large meal at one sitting; when
you stuff yourself, the body
diverts energy to digestion and
will make you tired. It's best to
eat small portions over the
course of the evening. Stick to
real food like an apple or sand-

which rather than chowing

down on candy bars. Sugary
junk food provides energy, but
it over stimulates the body and
leads to bumout. Instead, have
a sandwich and chips between
chapters ot aa t»«aks.

Third, understand the pitfalls
of using cafiTeine as a crutch

stay awake. Afto- drinking a caf-
feinated bevera^ such as cof-
fee, tea, chocolate and certain
soft drinks, caffeine levels will
peak in your body in about a half
hour ami decline over five to
seven hours. While caffeine
seons to temporarily increase
your energy level, its effect
wears off in an h(nir and is re-
pl»:ed with sluggishness and fa-
tigue, forcing you to get another
joltofcaffeirM.

Caffeine is strange because it
makes you feel like you have
moe energy when you really
d(Hi't. Research shows that to
get a real surge of energy
after hours of sitting at a desk
or computer, simply get xxp
and move around. One study
revealed that office onploy-
ees who periodically left their
desks for a bit of exercise,
rather than downing coffee
and candy, were more alert
and stress-free. It's good to
get in a pattern of taking a
five-minute (or more) break

every half hour. Get up tod walk
around the d(»m, library or wher-
ever you are. If you can get
outside, do it-take a walk around
campus, go visit another belea-
guered friend, or walk around

your buikiing. If you don't feel
like leaving, at least stand up, jump
around, swing your arms and do
some knee bends or toe touches.
Some schools have traditions in
taking study breaks. At one scIhmI

m Boston, the entire campus has
a 10- minute saeaming period at
exactly 1 1 o'clock every night
during finals. People across cam-
pus hang out their windows or
jump around and scream. It might
be bizarre, but it's practical. It
provides a boost of energy waA
is excellent fw stress relief.

If everything else fails, you
might need a jolt of caffeine. Just
make sure you pace yourself.

Don't drink too much at once, and
don't drink it too often. Caffeine
levels vary considerably between
products and even between
means of preparation. For ex-
amfde, how a pot of coffee is

brewed, the amount of instant
coffee used or the amount of time
tea soaks all a£fect caffeine lev-
els. The chart shows the amount
(^ caffeine in different products.

Stayir^ up all night deprives
the body of natural r»t, so you
must also consider how much
time you will have to recuperitte
aftc the exams. If other press-
ing tasks prevent you from
catching up m IcMt sleep,
effective study will be nearly
unpossible-you need time to
aash after an all-nighter.

To maximize your study time
and stay alert all night, remem-
ber to pace yourself, eat small,
nutritious meals throughout the
ni^t, take lots of breaks and use
caffeine only as a last-ditch ef-
fort. Also, remember that a test
is only a test, so don't get too
stn^sed. Good luck!

■ The tradition of drinking milk b^ore bed as an aid to sleep has long been followed,
but not until fairiy recently has there been any scientific explanation of why it works.
Apparently the amino acids coitained in milk send signals to die brain that release a
mild tranquilizing substance.

When a pill gets "stuck up your throat," it has probably settled into a small pocket
between the upper part of the throat and the larynx called the periform recess. You
can avoid this problem by drinking a full glass of water when you swallow a pill,
especially aspirin or any other tablet with a hi^ acid content.

CLR— Further Views

By Roy A. Wenkold, M.D.

In the past two issues of Ram
Pages, our Chairman, Olenn
George, sid our Columnist, Mary
Lou Wagner, have presented
aonwnts of what CXK is. In this
issue I'd like to add some further
views about the i^ninnenon that
is occurring on Delaware Valley's
Campus.

In just six years the CLR has
gme from 3 courses and 30 some
students to 14 courses and ap-
proximately 200 active students,
with another 200onthe rolls, tem-
poanXy inactive.

I came on the scene about mid-
way of that explosion of interest
when the need arose in my life for
nn^hing of substanix to fill a
need in my retirement schedule.
My intent was to be one of the
interested studoits, but after a
caofkt of years the bug to be a
teacher bit me. I say teadier with
tongue in cheek because in real-
ity I consider myself merely a
leader and coordinator. The
teaching is done by each and
every person in the World Civi-
lization citts.

When Ed Anderson initiated
the CLR ptogjnm he stipulated
that it shmild have a peer discus-
sion and education format— much
like what we called a bull sessim
when 1 was in college. (Do you
undergraduates still have them?)
Unlike those bull sessions our
classes do not ultimately lead to
the (me subj«;t that our under-
graduate sessi(ms always did. I
hardly think I must mention what
that subject was. CLR classes pro-
duce a i^ofound outpouring of
ideas and exchuiges; everyone
cmtributes.

The other tenent that Mr, Ander-
son was fond of is that each day
we learn one new item of knowl-
edge. That might be a word, an
idea, or an in- depth study of some
nibject. The number of direc-
tions fOT knowledge is endless.

All of diis leads to a feeling of
family and belonging among the
tttendees. With thatfeeling comes
a better frame <rf mind and with
the improved mental attitude
tfiere seems to be an improve-
ment in all the aches and ills we
dder people are afflicted with.

The Biology Club's annual
whale watch on Apil 1 • 1 2th to
Provincetown. Mass., was a suc-
cess this year. Although the
weather was cold and rainy, we
y/ett able to see several Finback
whales and a couple of Hump-
back whales (called Humpback
because they hump their backs
when surfacing for air). Both of
these species are baleen whales
(whales which acquire their nour-
idiment by filtering the food-of
ten small shrimp and fish • through
the baleen plates in the upper
portion of their mouths). Those
who went were able to catch a
fairly close look at the Humpback
whales and also of several Atlan-
tic White-Sided Dolphins, which
tend to be found near finback
whales. The ddf^ins were amus-
ing in the way they "rode" the
waves from the boat aixl also
because they came very close to
the boat, therefore gaving the
watchers a front seat view. ITie

annual whale watch is an extraor-
dinary experience in that it gave
us a chance to see whales in their
natural habitat instead of tanks
like those at Sea World. In addi-
tion, the trip was educational be-
cause members of the Center for
Coastal Studies explained some
interesting facts about these
whales and how the Coastal Stud-
ies research is benefitting the
whales and oth^ marine mam-
mals survival. The (Tenter for
Coastal Studies goes out on ev-
ery watch to count and deter-
mine what species are seen, if
any have returned from previ-
ous years (Humpbacks are iden-
tifiable by the unique markings

OR tlw underside of their flukes)
and if the whales are reproduc-
ing. The female whales (cows)
will bring their ycmng (calfs) up
from the southern wanner water
to feed. The Humpbacks migrate
in the winter down to die warmer
wat^ to refvoduce then migrate
back up to cooler waters to feed
(more abundance of food in the
cooler waters). Because the
whale watches are so popular,
exciting and educational, the Bi-
ology Club invites those who
could not participate this year to
attend next year along with the
"regulars'* that attend every year.
It's an experience you won't ever
forget.

Dear Aggie,

I'm confused, my brother doesn't live at home anymore and when
he comes back for visits he is always causing trouble. He picks
arguments with me and is c(Hisiantly putting me down. That doe; not
bother me as much as the fact that my parents don't tell him what he is
doing wrong. I feel as if everyone is against me.

Sincerely,

Not Welcome at Home

Dear Not Welcome at Home,

This sounds like a {n-oblem that should be discussed at home. You
need to sit down with your parents and explain to them how you feel.
Then yoa need to talk with your brother. Maybe he needs to be
reminded that you are no longer a child and wish to be treated as an
adult. Perhaps this will ease your situation and help you feel more
welcome at home.

DYC History

^

By Tina Dtmenczuk

Editor-in-Chief

The initial purpose of Rabbi
Joseph Krauskopf founding this
institution was to instruct Jewish
boys in the different branches of
agriculture and teach them the
theory and practice of farming
for a living. Mr. Krauskopf be-
lieved this would help the Jew-
ish situation and help their eco-
nomic and social future.

Mr. Jacob Tuck of Philadel-
phia was a close friend of Kraus-
kopf. He was always interested
in the welfare of Jewish immi-
grants ahd talked to Krauskopf
about their social [»t>blem. Mr.
Tudc oftCT advised the Rat^i to
"Make farmers out of tbem! " This
stuck in his mind and after TiK:k's
death in 1894 led him abroad to
investigate that same year.

Krauskopf took this idea and
went to study the Jews in Rus-
sia. There he met Count Leo
Tolstoi, who had made numer-
ous demands for Jewish social
reforms. Together they visited
the Jewish Agricultural School
at Odessa which Tolstoi
founded. Tolstoi showed
Krauskopf how the boys were
learning to work the land, but were
1 imited by the government He then
suggested to Krauskopf that he
should try to pull thousands of
youngpeople out of the cities, onto
fertile land, and guide them so they
could make a name for the Jewish
people in his country.

With Tolstoi's and Tuck's inspir-
ing words, Krauskopf returned to
his country, bought a 1 OO-Jwre farm
and started the National Farm
School. He then reconsidered his
original idea to look out for the

Th« first building of the National
Farm School - Pioneer Hall

welfare of just his people and
decide to render this service
to non-Jewish students as well
as Jewish students. He realized
that thousands of people were
leaving their farms to live in the
alluring urban towns and cities
to become industrial workers.
He knew then that his country
was in trouble and agriculture
could offer a way, if scientifi-
cally carried on, to attract pec^le

affected. You have the option; whether others pave the path for your
college years or wtether you Mutually become instrumental; in making

decisions that will affect the rest of your life. If you
become involved with Student Government as an
officer, a representative or just by communicating

INVOLVEMENT! There it is in black and

Government is not for you, there are numerous
other activities or organizaticms which will gready
influence your college future, providing you
become involved. Oie example is the Student
Activities Committee (SAC) which is a student
committee that chooses what activities, perfwm-

year we had BOBCAT GOLDTHWAfT as a
main performer and those involved with SAC had
the opportunity to meet him in person.

Spotlight On...

¥

By Cindy MUziva

A A E Editor

Jkma Jarrett is fondly referred
to as the "bad guy" on campus.
This is mainly because he is in
command of student discipline.
However, those of us who have
taken the Ume to get to know Dean
Jarrett on a more personal basis
have found him to be a concerned
advisor, mentor, and, most impor-
tantly, a friend. He is a man who
wants and looks for oj^ortunities
to interact with students. Dean
Jarrett likes to know his students
on an individual basis. Many are
not able to pass by the Dean with-

out him knowing their name aiui
asking how tlMy are. As an advisor
to StiKlent Government, Dean Jar^
rett focuses on the interaction be-
tween our government and the cam-
pus conmunity. He believes that
the interaction among all college
committees and clubs plays an intri-
cate role in student relations. It is in
his ability to care and focus on stu-
dent life whffl-e the respected na-
ture of Dean Jarrett changes from
his "bad guy" front to a most admi-
rable man.

eight members of the MAC will become the Xonmumwealth League."
We will continue to meet all our traditional MAC competition schools,
however, in most cases, we will play in league as well as conference
playoffs.

You will be pleased that we have made arrangemoits with
HarleysvilleNati(Hial Bank to install a cash access machine in the Student
Center. Students who have an account with Harleysville will be able
to access cash at no charge. Students with MAC cards throu^ other
banks will be charged the typical small fee for using a MAC machine.
Harleysville Bank will be visiting campus in September to offer students
the opportunity to (^n an account with them. As an extra, service,
students with Harleysville accounts will also be able to make deposits
through the DVC Accounting Office.

In Seotember vou will see some new faces on campus. We welcome
Mr. Justin Lawhead as the new Coordinator of Student Activities. Mr.
Lawhead, who comes from the Student Life Office at the University
of Pittsburgh, has already been busy planning activities for the fall.
Ms. Tanya Letoumeau, f(nmerly of the University of Missouri, has
joined us as the new Director of Career Planning and Placement in July.

General campus clean-up/fix-up involves residence halls, new paving
of the paricing lot, campus paths and roads, and srane truly impressive
landscape work. (You will notice plant and tree i(kntification plaques
aj^aring all over campus).

WhUe we continue to plan for your return to campus in the
fall, we hope your summer is rewarding and refreshing!

A Brief History

By Bruce Eaton

Associate Editor

The land oa whidi Doylestown is located was purchased by
Jeremiah Langhome on Felwiiary 1 5, 1724 fnwn the Free Society of
Traders of London. Lan^ome's 2,000-acre purchase increased his
total land holdings to 5,200 acres in tt^ Doylestown area. Jeremiah
Langhome's 5,200 acres cost $5,740 in 1724.
Ruiming through this rural ami densely wooded land,Qnly 26 miles
from Philadelf^a ,was one "great road". This road ran north and
south from Willow Grove, then known aji"Round Meadow", to
Horsham. This road was extended through Langhome's land in
1723. The road was named Dyer's Road. Dyer's Road is presem-day
Main Sl , Doylestown(see map on pg.6) . The establishmoit of Dyer's
Road was the primary catalyst to the f cunding and growth of modem-
day Doylestown.In a time when travel was slow and treacherous and
no significant waterway existed in Ae area, it was this "great road"
that crameded the outlying areas, and it was on this road that
Doylestown began. ( Continued Page 3)

Multi Media Computer
Makes the Del Val Connection

By Tim Vogt

Con^uterSpecialia

During the summer & going
into the fall sanesta* of '92
DVC has made a rather sig-
nificant tedmological jorap.
The introduction of the audio/
visual Multimedia Platform
opens the door for future
projects in teaching.
This applies not only
to computer courses
but other courses as
well. For example,
using multimedia in a
music course would

allow the teacher to play san^les of a
song while the computer displays the
artist and historical fads about their
background. This equipment will
evoitually be used to make tutorials
for avariety of courses. Some courses
that have hem mentioned to test mul-
timedia m are Intro, to Computers,
Chemistry, Music and ^ Arts.

staff has done a remarkable job turning our school paper
into the best paper this campus has ever seen. It's a first
class publication that can hold its own against any compa-
rable college. The Ram Pag^ is one area which has
bounded forward. They have upgraded their con^niter
system as well as otha necessary equipment It has
become more and more influential with each issue and we
believe it will be gomg much fur-
ther.

There are many o^ber ways to
become involved and be heard.
The new campus radio station,
WDVC, for instance, which has
alsotakoi strides of its own, is cur-
rently looking f(n- D J.'s, as well as
twenty-some active clubs not to
mention Del Val's sportsproffsms.
College is meaningless unless
YOU become involved in the i»-o-
gramming that directly affects you.
We want campus life at DVC to
keep improvmg, but that can only
be done if you dioose to make the
difference. By becoming involved,
you can make your college expe-
rieiK^e four of the best years of
your life as well as achieve practi-
cal experience for your future.

We're proud to be studoits of
Delaware Valley College and we
hope to pass some of this pride on
to you. WELCOME ABOARD.

Doylestown History

( Continued from Page 2 )

A second road was established in
1730. This road crossed Dyer's
Road on Jeremiah Langhome's
land, forming the crossroads of
present -day Main St. with East and
West State Streets. During this civi-
lizing process, Langhome sold
some of his acreage to Joseph Kirk-
bridge in 1729,including the cross-
roads acreage. Kirkbridge, in turn,
sold acreage to Edward Doyle.
Edward's grandson, William
Doyle, received the crossroads
bequest and built the Doyle Tav-
ern at his crossroads. Doyle was
granted a license and opened for
business in 1745. A village evolved
around the Doyle Tavern and
shortly after the American Revo-
lution the village became known
as Doylestown. Doylestown grew
and became the County Seat in
1813. State and local business en-
couraged further growth. Doyles-
town continues to support a thriv-
ing professional community, cen-
tered around the County Court-
house.

Seeds to
Russia

By Bruce Eaton

Associate Editor

Back in the beginning of April,
President Bush signed a bill to give
the Russian Federation about $12
billion in aid for economic stabili-
zation and recovery. It was a huge
aid package to an economy on the
brink of collapse. Most tax payers
wondered how much of that money
actually got through national bu-
reaucracy and into the hands of the
citizens it was meant to help.

Following another severe Rus-
sian winter, with huge food short-
ages and long lines, the people of
the Federation needed a break.

Satelite Dish
On Campus!

By Paul Schneider

Editor-in-Chief

The Business Club purchased
a satellite dish last sonester through
its treasury and donations. Area
companies like Jerrold Communi-
cations of Upper Moreland Town-
ship and the Peerless Satellite Net-
work of Colmar made substantial
donations of equipment and man-
power to bring this valuable asset
to the college.

The goal of this program, as ex-
plained by Gerald Handler, is to
televise educational seminars and
entertainment programs on cam-
pus in the All Purpose Room (APR).
By advertising various seminars,
Peter Drucker's Management
Conference and Tom Peter's Ex-
cellence Seminar, to the general
public, the Business Club hopes to
convey valuable information to
local businesses and the commu-

The Russian citizens were not get-
ting the practical help they needed
to survive.

Dr. John Avery, chairman of
DVC's Agribusiness Department,
and Mr. James Cantrill of Educa-
tion Advisory Services Inst.,
launched a project back in April to
help the Russian Citizens feed
themselves. It was called Project
Friendship Gardens. They sup-
plied Russian citizens with veg-
etable seed kits to grow their own
food.

The first shipment of 1,350 seeds
was sent on April 4th. The second
shipment was sent to Volgograd on
April 10th, and 9,000more Friend-
ship Gardens were sent after Eas-
ter, in time for the planting season.
The Friendship Gardens Project
has the support of the Congres-
sional Select Committee on Hun-
ger, led by U.S. Rep. Peter Kost-
myer.

A-Day '92

DVC's Annual Open House and Exhibition Day...

The main event of dx annual program of
student activities at Delaware Valley College
is the opoi house and exhibition called A-
Day. This event, staged each year over the
last weekend in April, provides students with
an (^portunity to showcase their skills and
their programs.

A-Day is the product of months of prepara-
tion under the leadership of a representative
student committee encouraged and advised
by a faculty and staff committee.

A-Day features livestock exhibitions and
judging contests, and extensive floral (tesign

exhibition, exhibits produced by various majors and student organizations, craitests of skill, tons of food, and
much more in a country fair atmosphere that brings thousands of visitOTS to the campus each Spring.

A-Day '92 was a great success, thousands of people attended!

Career Day

Don't miss the
opportunity

Career Day is the largest re-
cruiting day at DVC. There are
80-90 companies on campus in
search of students who are look-
ing for job opportunities and who
have talents to offer their firms.

Considering the shape of the
economy, this is a chance for you
to bound ahead of other job appli-
cants upon graduation. Career
Day will allow you to make con-
tacts that your competition will
never have.

Freshman through seniors
should attend this event. Seniors
will find out about career opportu-
nities following graduation. Un-
derclass students may make con-
tacts and will gain the experience
of talking to prospective employ-
ers.

Career Day is usually held at
the end of February in the APR.

out of the cities and into the countiy
to live heahhy and financially se-
cure lives.

In the beginning, land equipnmit
and buildings were limited. Kraus-
kopf purchased the 100-acre farm
along with the homestead house, a
spring house, which was remod-
eled for the first dairy, and a bam,
for $10,000. After he raised a sec-
ond $10,000, he had Pioneer Hall
buih. This building contamed the
classrooms, library, dining ro(Hn.
Idtdwn, laundry room, gymnasium,
dormitories, office, and quarters
for the Dean. He employed a fac-
ulty of two and enrolled 10 stu-
dents, graduatii^ eight as the first
class. The whole school, the farm,
buildings, furniture, andfarm equip-

ment totaled $30,000 in cost. It was
founded on April 10, 1896 and dedi-
cated on June 20, 1897.

The National Farm School pro-
vided a three year i»-(^ram com-
bining acadmiics and work expe-
rioice which continued through
World War U. bi 1945, the sdiool
became the National Faim School
and Junior College and the aca-
demic program was reorganized
and strengthened. As Uie aj^lied
sciences became recognized it was
necessary to expand further. In
1948 the program was enlarged to
a senior college , approved by the
StateCouncil of Education, and the
name was changed to the National
Agricultural Cdlege.

James Woik , a 1 91 3 graduate of
The National Farm school, lead the
growth after W.WJI. He added
new programs in the Food Indus-

SPORTS

try, (1951), Biology A Chemistry
(1958), and Businas. The name
was also changed again to Dela-
ware Valley College of Science
and Agriculture in 1960. Recently
many new majors have been added
including Agribusiiwss ( 1 983) and
Computer Information Systems
Management(1984).In 1987atwo-
year Associate of Science degree
in Equine Science and a two-year
Associate of science degree in Su-

agonent was added. The college
also has Badielor oi Arts degree in

ence to introduce William B. Man-
love, Jr. as the Aggies new Head
Football Coach, ushering a new
era for the school's football pro-
gram.

At the press craiference, Man-
love was introduced as one of the
nation's best football coaches, and
with good reason. Manlove led
Widena^'s football team to two
division m titles, was setected as
the ABC-TV Coach of the Year
twice and received the American
Football Coaches Association
Kodak Division n. III Coach of
the Year Award in 1 977. Manlove's
st^e of coaching concentrates on

the fundamentals of f ootl^, some-
thing college players often forget
about.

Manlove was given the job after
a nation-wide search by Dehiware
Valley College and was chosoi
from over 100 applicants.

The Aggie baseball team won four of the last five games
in the MAC. They beat Ursinus, swept a double header at
Washington College and split a double header at Upsala
College. The Aggies fmished the 1992 seasm 10-1 loverall.
Coach frank Wolfgang said, "Overall, it was a good
season. We need to tighten-up the infield and cut down (m
our errors, tf we can work on our defense, everything else
will fall into pliK^e."

CAMPUS HUMOR

UFO Sighted Over
Water Tower?

the officers, there were none to
be found. The next step, finding
the persons who reported the
sightings, proved much easier.
The students who saw the UFO
divulged their stories but only
under the condition of anonym-
ity.

They reported the craft hover-
ing above the tower as being neon
green and yellow in color and
shaped like a cow's udder on the
bottom. The students reported
hearing a light humming sound as
it rose from the water tower. One
student had a chance to take a
Water tow«r twhind Mandall HaH Picture before it was U-ansformed

into a Budweiser can and disap-
What an assignment! I was asked

to investigate a reported UFO
sighting over Mandell Hall Water
Tower, and against my better
judgement, took the seemingly ri-
diculous case.

The reported sightings were
called into Security in the early
morning hours of November 21,
the night of the full moon. Security
played them off as prank calls, but
when their new Caprice started to
levitate, they didn't take it so lightly.
When it came time to interview

pears into the moonlit sky.

In all honesty, this reporter was a
little skeptical upon receiving and
investigating this assignment. But I
set out to find what 1 could, or rather
couldn't.

The first place 1 started was Lasker
Hall . I thought that 1 could put an end
to these silly sightings by getting
some logical input from the "Top
Dogs." On what would normally be
a busy Monday morning at Lasker.
1 expected to find many people who
would make sense out of this event.

To no avail, the building was de-
serted and all its occupants had
mysteriously disappeared. Kind
of funny, 1 thought.

My next mission was to contact
the campus Star Trek Club for
their expertise advise. Based on
the color and shape of the craft,
they concluded that the ship came
from the udderly distant planet of
Bovine, located in the solar sys-
tem of Hopps & Barley,
My final frontier was to go where
no student had gone before. 1
dared to approach the new ellip-
tically shaped dorm in front of
Work Hall where I caught up with
someone coming out. It did not
appear to be a typical DVC stu-
dent. My assumption was that he
must have just had dinner in the
Dining Hall because he looked
kind of green and sick. I couldn't
understand a word that he said as.
he turned around and ran back
inside, obviously startled by my
presence.

I decided to let it go and report
my findings and ask you, our loyal
readers, to remember the night of
the full moon, November 21. If
you saw anything out of the ordi-
nary that night or any other night,
report it to the Ram Pages Bureau
of Strange and Unusual Events at
Box #917.
