BeUenson addresses students
on current political issues

by Denise Goosby

"I will vote the way I did whether people in my district like it or not," voiced
Congressman Beilenson during an address before faculty and students in the Rum-
pus Room Monday, October 20.

A U.S. Congressman for West Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, An-
thony Beilenson was invited by the Political Science Department to speak on im-
portant national issues. His address featured a brief, but interesting reflection on
bills that were recently passed, notably the tax reform and immigration bills. The
congressman was especially encouraged with the passage of the immigration bill.
Not only is it a step towards solving the critical problem of illegal entry into the
U.S., but the bill also contains employer sanctions and amnesty for some illegal
aliens. According to Beilenson, he feels it is important that we respect a people's
right to home and security.

"It's terrible to have a growing people with no rights and who are exploited. We
shouldn't uproot people who have established themselves in this country. My heart
goes out to these hardworking people and their families."

Beilenson continued his talk with thoughts on the Contra rebels in Nicaragua,
Third World problems and the Iceland Mini-Summit. The Congressman seemed
bitterly opposed to any American involvement in Nacaragua, calling such the
"single worst thing our country is involved with in the world." He believes that the
interests of our country could be better served if we supported Democratic govern-
ments such as Brazil, Peru and Mexico, and stopped trying to influence Marxist
governments like Nicaragua.

Beilenson expressed deep concern over problems facing Third World nations.
Using the Philippines as an example, he explained how economic and social in-
stability can cause even the most sincere and dedicated of leaders to fall. Although
he believes that the Philippino President is a "bright, strong and lovely woman,"
he foresees a great deal of trouble for her if she does not solve the huge poverty and
unemployment rates plaguing her country. Mr. Beilenson also expressed fear over
the rapidly soaring world population which has more than tripled in the past 150
years.

"Third World Problems are the scariest of any part of the world scene."
In concluding his address, Beilenson noted how important it was for the public to
meet and speak with their leaders.

"It's a good thing in a democracy for people to personally see the people who
represent them. People can learn so much about what their representatives are do-
ing or not doing."

Asian Club plans activities

by Yvette Castro

This year on campus there's a new club called the Asian Club. Joleen Tran, Vice
President, said "The Asian Club's purpose is to provide a learning experience to
the Mount community about the different cultures and to provide a support group
for the Asian students." The club also brings cultural enrichment to our campus by
sponsoring Asian cultural dinners (Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, etc.) and slide
presentations on an Asian country.

The Asian Club is twenty-five members strong and members show an interest in
the Asian culture and agree on the ideal of the club serving as a support system.

When Tran was asked about the club's beginning, she replied, "I thought about
it last year and spoke to Joyce Snyder about forming a support group for people
from different backgrounds to help each other out. Joyce said she was willing to be
a sponsor and so I set out to do it." Since the Asian Club is a new organization,
they have not set any traditions as to what activities they should sponsor. The ac-
tivity which seems to be heading towards being classified as a tradition is the
cultural dinners. The club's current planned activity is to provide a self- defense
course for interterm or spring semester. Speakers on career opportunities, gel
togethers with other college Asian Clubs, and a co-sponsored Asian Club/ASB
Dance celebrating the Chinese New Year are future activities which the Asian Club
is looking into.

The Asian Club is so new that they have been fundraising constantly, having
bake sales where they sell traditional Asian baked goods such as fortune cookies
and almond cookies. All this is done for the purpose of providing services to the
Mount community through sponsoring cultural and educational activities. But
what are Tran's personal feelings about the Asian Club? "We've set goals and
we're accomplishing them. I believe we've been successful. I also believe we will
continue to be successful in the future.'

Boots adds personality,
friendliness to campus

by Nerina Tribble

There is one person on campus who knows the ins and outs of this place and
knows where she is welcomed. You see her walking in the circle, chatting with the
staff of the Business Office over bagels and cream cheese, and making house calls.
Obviously whom we are talking about is Boots the cat.

Given to Sister Annette as a gift from Marie Zeuthen four years ago, Boots is an
American domesticated cat that has since become an integral part of the Chalon
campus. This is so because Sister Annette does not confine her to the biology labs
and because the students and faculty encourage her to be a campus cat.

Several people took time to comment about Boots.

"Boots is a fascist. Boots rules the entire campus and knows it. Boots is

alright. She's affectionate.".

"Personally I like her. I like her everywhere except in the biology labs,

because there is a possibility of her hairs contaminating the experiments."

"I've known her since she was a kitten. I love her."

"Boots is very social and loving; she's not afraid of people."

"She's a 100% person cat. She's just a wonderful cat."

Like any student or staff member, Boots has a routine to go by almost everyday.
Her visits include the Admissions Office, where she drinks Sparkletts bottled water
in a bowl, and the Instructional Media Center. However, Claudia of the IMC says,
"She's disputing territory with another cat and is now boycotting the place. Other-
wise she'll be on a bean bag that has a person on it."

The Business Office is a tough competitor for Boots according to Dan of the
Registration office and Elsie of the Bookstore. Dan complained, "She doesn't
come visit here much anymore due to stiff competition across the hallway." Elsie
said, "She used to come here a lot, but now goes to the Business Office after she
found out about the air conditioner there." Maybe it is the cream cheese that Boots
gets for joining the staff on Friday mornings and a ready bed, made out of a box,
that does the trick of keeping her in that office.

At the same time, Boots has a unique personality as shown by certain incidents.
First, Elsie described that if Boots is in the bookstore, she'll lie on the jewelry
counter because she knows it is an advantageous spot for petting. Elsie added,
"Once, Boots walked over the cash register and rang $5,000."

For all her personality, Boots' basic instinct is to be a cat. Miriam Wilhelm
recalled her encounter, "The first time I met Boots, she was dragging a bird to the
Student Development Office." Also, Dr. Bundy thinks of her as a good mouser.

"Boots is a good mouser such that she contributes to the maintenance of this
department by keeping down the rodent population. For that we thank her."

Yet, it is her unusual personality that we like most of the time: her friendliness
and her affection toward us as Boots makes her rounds on campus.

Letters to the Editor

Dear College Newspaper Editor:

WANTED: Correspondence from
sincere individuals for white in-
carcerated college student. Will answer
all. Write to:

Mr. Bert Murphy 85-A-5290

Attica Correctional Facility

Bay 149, Attica, N.Y. 14011-0149

I enjoy being a student at Mount St.
Mary's College as much as anybody.
Because it is a small school, receiving in-
dividual attention from the professors is
as easy as pouring a glass of orange
juice in the morning. This is much bet-
ter than sitting in a UC classroom with
eight hundred people and seeing the
professor on a T.V. monitor. However,
Mount St. Mary's College is not
without its problems. First, the libraries
on the Doheny and Chalon campuses
need to be updated. They are inade-
quate for doing research because the
books are not current. I'm glad that St.
Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica
is in our library. Ancient works are
valuaole to humanity, but it can't help
rr.e if I'm doing research on aging or

abortion. However, if Mount St.
Mary's College is unable to update the
library, then a shuttle should be provid-
ed to the UCLA library during the
school year.

Second, the food at the Chalon cam-
pus could be improved. The fruit is not
always fresh. Iceberg lettuce is the only
lettuce that is served instead of romaine
or something that is more nutritious.
The fried fish that is served is full of
bones and therefore not very pleasant to
eat. In addition, the steak is either raw
or it has three layers of charcoal on it.
Raw meat is inedible and charcoal is a
carcinogen so I would appreciate some
consistency. I realize that cooking for
large numbers of people within a limited
budget is difficult, but that doesn't
mean the food can't be appetizing to
eat.

Third, the Shapedown program that
is being offered through the student
health services should either require no
fee or a reasonable one. Many students
at Mount St. Mary's College are unable
to afford it. Good health should not
cost a fortune. These grievances may
seem small and insignificant, but I think
they need to be dealth with.
A concerned student

This is this year's first edition of the student
newspaper which we are trying to bring back to life.
We had hoped to put this issue out sooner, but we had
problems getting people who were willing to work to
make it happen. We now have a small group of people
working with us and we would like your help, too. If
you are interested in working on the newspaper or just
submitting an article, please contact us. We also need
letters to the Editor. This is a good way to voice your
opinions — so write in. We hope the newspaper is here
to stay and we are looking forward to our next issue
being even bigger and better. We also need your sug-
gestions for a name for the paper. We would like to
start fresh — so please submit your suggestions for a
name to box 332.

Thank you,
Angela Linsey & Amy Kuhnert

Thomas interests students
in political science

by Denise Goosby

"Young people are really amazing.
They have so much strength — some-
times they don't even realize it."

With drug use, political apathy, and
racial tension being some of the most
talked about problems on our college
campuses, we don't often hear young
people praised for anything. But to
Thomas, a part-time teacher in Mount
St. Mary's Political Science Depart-
ment, today's college students are
spirited and dedicated. They're special
— with a lot to offer if only we give
them the means to do so.

Thomas' admiration for young peo-
ple began when she herself was attend-
ing school. Born and raised in Pontiac,
Michigan, she lived in a variety of
places, such as Illinois, Maryland, and
Massachusetts, where her natural in-
terest in politics began to flourish. At
Welsley High, and later Radcliffe Col-
lege where she received her B.A..
Thomas was fascinated by her political
science courses — the discussions, the
exchange of views, and the teachers who
challenged her to analyze and express
her opinions. One teacher was especially
important to her.

"George Bundy was an official in the
Kennedy and Johnson administrations.
He taught two classes at Harvard which
I took. I loved them. They were exciting
classes and he was a fascinating teacher.
It was a highpoint for me."

After her undergraduate studies,
Thomas went on to teach elementary
school, raise a family, and return back
to school for a Teaching Credential and
degree from Mount St. Mary's and Cal
St. Northridge. Although politics con-
tinued to be a driving influence in her
life, she never felt the call to public life.

"Did I ever want to be a politician?
No, not personally. I'd rather just
understand it — write letters and phone

people. I like being an active citizen."

Thomas is deeply disturbed about the
low voter turnout that has occurred in
recent years. She feels that apathy will
almost certainly leave the decision-
making process in the hands of special
interest groups, a situation that is not
only unfair, but potentially dangerous.
Thomas believes that if we could just
take 5 or 10 minutes to vote on one issue
we'd all be the better for it.

"It's fun to be informed and with it,"
she enthuses.

"I cannot go to bed at night until I've
read the paper. It's like beling alive."

With the presidential elections two
years away, many people are already
speculating about the possible can-
didates. Although Thomas doesn't have
any particular favorites, she does feel
that women are going to play a tremen-
dous part in both parties no matter who
runs for President.

"I think the Republicans will pro-
bably have a woman Vice Presidential
candidate," she says with pride and ad-
miration.

"Nandy Kassenbaum (U.S. Senator)
is a particularly interesting woman.
She's moderate, independent and very
bright. I like what I see in her."

When asked about the integrity level
of our politicians, she expresses uncer-
tainty about the part morals play in
politicians' lives and careers. Yet, she
does believe that there are many sincere,
dedicated people out there. And it is
these people that we, as voters, should
encourage and support.

Surprisingly, she does not feel that
college students must or need to be as
politically involved as perhaps they
would be in later life.

"You don't have the time right now
to be politically active," she says.
"Your task is to grow and develop in-
tellectually — to prove to yourself that
you can do it."

Gresser brings new ideas
to Campus Ministry

by Leah Ann Caro

One of the new faces in the hallways of Mount Saint Mary's is Campus
Ministry's own Gail Gresser. Her input in the liturgies at the Mount has already
surfaced, making them not only worship services but also community-building ex-
periences for all those in attendance.

Our campus is enriched in many ways by Gresser's presence. She has had much
past experience in the field of ministry, specifically service within the community.
From the onset of her career at the Mount, she has strived to incorporate one of her
main beliefs in life which is to have everything in her work reflect her faith. With
this in mind, it is easy to see why Gresser loves her job and that it is the driving
force behind this year's Campus Ministry.

Gail has set worthy and attainable goals for the Campus Ministry program.
Primarily, she wants to see the campus itself become an entire community in
ministry, her long-term goal is to have Mount Saint Mary's have a sense of the
spiritual dimension of life, an awareness of our Christianity, in our everyday ac-
tivities. Both of these goals are being accomplished mainly through Liturgy, which
she views as the focal point of "community" where Catholics and Christians come
together and pray. The commitment to her goals is renewed through her reflection
on the resources our campus has to offer, mainly "superb students, a cooperating
Campus Ministry staff, and a supportive faculty which emphasizes values."

She plans on having the Mount become a closer community by having people of
every faith background, or of no faith background, to feel welcome and to become
involved. She is implementing this idea with the development of committees com-
prised of faculty, staff and students, regardless of their religious preference. These
committees are: Liturgy, Spiritual Life, Family Life, Service, Justice and Educa-
tion.

When predicting the future for the Mount's Campus Ministry program, she ex-
plains it as a place where "people feel comfortable whether Catholic or non-
Catholic." She hopes that "every person would feel service to others as being an in-
tegral part at the Mount."

In her closing comments, Gresser wished to add that she is delighted with her job
and can not believe she is getting paid since she enjoys it so much. The willingness
to help and cooperate by the staff has impressed her greatly as has their dedication
to scholarship, searching for the truth and how they challenge and stimulate the
growth of our faith.

Freshmen learn The Art
of Bustm' off

by Tina Lomando, Ann Marano
and Rachel Martinez

Witness if you will:
Three freshmen stranded on the hill on
a Saturday afternoon. Facing a day full
of homework and studying, the
freshmen rebelled. Struck with a sudden
inspiration to seek civilization, they ig-
nored the pleas of their roommates to
think rationally. At 1:12 p.m., the
"bust" began . . .

After dressing for the occasion, by
donning sweats and sneakers, and
gathering sparse change, the girls began
their descent. Without an itinerary in
hand, a mode of transportation
available, or a knowledge of the area
the girls ventured forth.

The sunshine and the scenery fueled
their spirits. Upon reaching the corner
of San Vicente and Bundy, the girls
decided to fulfill their freshman fan-
tasies by reaching Westwood. They
began to rely on something they called
"Ferris Bueller's Luck."

The girls frantically raced across the
street to catch the eastbound bus and
they just made it in as the doors closed
behind them. As the bus driver broke
the sound barrier, the girls searched
long and hard for their 85«. The trio
asked in earnest, "Does this bus stop at
Westwood boulevard?" The shaggy,
"James Brown" bus driver retorted,
"If you want it to it will!"

Disembarking with the triumph of a

sweet success, they raced to reach the
borders of the paradise that they had
been seeking. Suddenly surrounded by
shops, restaurants and MEN!!, the girls
were filled with awe. They frolicked
away the afternoon, reveling in the joys
of the city.

As the sun began to set and the wind
chill factor rose sharply, the girls were
hit with the sudden realization that they
would have to walk back up the HILL
— in the DARK. Panic set in as the girls
waited for the non-existant bus #22.
Delirium took its toll as sany to passing
cars. In desperation, they took bus #21
with hops of reaching the Mount St.
Mary's vicinity before dark. At the sight
of the familiar neighborhood, the girls
burst into temporary joy; temporary
because there stilled laid before them
the long hike. Distressed at missing din-
ner at the Mount, the girls decided to
top off the adventure with a frozen din-
ner and a generic pie. As they broused
through the frozen gourmet delights,
the "luck of Ferris Bueller" brought
three familiar faces to the suddenly hap-
py campers. With puppy mush faces
they begged for a ride home and shared
their day in retrospect with their
astonished rescuers.

So never let it be said that it cannot be
done. To all of you without a car,
remember these words of wisdom: the
confines of the HILL need never hold
you in forever. The art of bustin off can
be learned by all.

"The Far Side"
in exhibit

It's breakfast time in Los Angeles
and people who read their newspapers
over coffee are reaching for scissors to
clip "The Far Side" cartoon by thirty-
six year old Gary Larson. But Los
Angelenos aren't the only ones who ap-
preciate the nationally syndicated car-
toonist's macabre sense of humor. Lar-
son's single-panel work, which focuses
largely on scientific subjects, appears in
over 400 newspapers across the country
and can be found tacked on bulletin
boards, taped above water coolers and
magnetized on refrigerator doors all
over the nation.

What's behind Gary Larson's bizarre
but popular view of the natural world?
When the weather in cloudy Tacoma
forced the youthful tadpole collector in-
doors, he read Kipling and the Tarzan
books. That early interest in jungle
creatures and apemen is still apparent in
his work. Biological science courses
which he enjoyed in high school and
college introduced him to the scientific
method, evolution, extinction and
animal behavior — now frequent sub-
jects of his lampoons. Years of nurtur-
ing scaly pets and friendship with the
curator of reptiles at the Seattle Zoo
may account for the frequent ap-
pearances of snakes in his panels. Pri-
marily, "The Far Side" is attributable
to Larson's self-described "active im-
agination."

Despite his interest in the natural
sciences, Larson envisioned a career in
advertising and majored in communica-
tions at Washington State University in
Pullman, Washington. After gradua-
tion, he supported himself by playing in
a jazz duo and working in a music store.
It was during that time that he first sold
his cartoons to publications in the
Pacific Northwest.

In 1978, the Seattle Times began to
run Larson's work on a regular basis.
Apparently the public there was not
ready for a precursor of "The Far Side"
and the paper subsequently pulled the
series. Soon after, the San Francisco
Chronicle gave him a five-year contract
and its syndicate began to offer the
panels nationwide. Now with Universal
Press Syndicate, Larson also has seven
"Far Side" books to his credit.

Larson has been described as shy and
limits his public appearances to protect
his privacy. He tends not to over-
analyze his work and recommends that
approach to his readers. His attitude is
that a cartoon either strikes you as fun-
ny or it doesn't — and if it doesn't.

why waste time puzzling about it? He
doesn't seem to mind being misunder-
stood from time to time.

Larson likes the fan mail he gets from
scientists. They may occasionally quib-
ble with his habit of putting words in
the mouths of cows or attributing con-
temporary human feelings to dinosaurs,
but they find in Larson a kindred spirit
who appreciates scientific lore even
when he is poking fun at it.

Nearly 600 of Larson's cartoons are
included in a special exhibition, "The
Far Side of Science," opening at the
Natural History Museum of Los
Angeles County on November 15, 1986
and continuing through February 15,
1987. Los Angeles cartoon clippers
(scientists and laypeople alike) will be
flocking to the museum which is open
from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Tuesday
through Sunday. (Closed Monday.)

Jazzvisions to feature
music greats

"JAZZVISIONS . . . Made in
America," which brings together some
of the most exciting, contemporary jazz
artists, on the same stage for the first
time is set for December 1-5 and 8-12 at
Bill Graham's Wiltern Theatre in Los
Angeles.

The Jack Lewis Production features
such top-name talent as perennial
music-maker, Antonio Carlos Jobim;
the multi-dimensional jazz pianist, Her-
bie Hancock, and Brazil's hottest,
young "new wave" musicians, Djavan
and Ivan Lins.

Highlights of the shows include the
series opener, "Rio Revisited" (Dec. 1),
featuring Jobim and South America's
sultry vocalist Gal Costa; "Jazz
Africa" (Dec. 2), headlined by Herbie
Hancock, and featuring Foday Musa
Suso and an African ensemble;
"Brazilian Knights and a Lady" (Dec.
9), starring guitarist Djavan and Ivan
Lins on keyboards, in their premiere
performance in America (with their re-
spective Brazilian bands). Rounding out
the musical evening on the 9th, is singer
Patty Austin, and producer/composer
/keyboard-wizard George Duke.

The music of Charlie Parker will be
spotlighted in "Many Faces of Bird,"
Dec. 10. "Every alto saxophonist play-
ing today owes part of his musical
heritage to the innovations of Charlie
Parker," says Jack Lewis, executive
producer. Set to appear are saxopho-
nists Richie Cole, Lee Konitz, James
Moody and Bud Shank. This show will
also star Bobby McFerrin, who Lewis
calls "a one-man vocal orchestra."

The series will conclude Dec. 12 with
"The Jazz Soul of Porty & Bess." Ac-
cording to Lewis, the last time this
critically acclaimed score was perform-
ed on stage was in 1959. "Industrial-
strength composer, Johnny Mandel will
conduct the revived score of the Ger-
shwin suite, featuring a hand-picked
21 -piece orchestra of all-star jazz musi-

cians from both coasts," Lewis explain-
ed.

The line-up at each of the five addi-
tional concerts will be announced short-

ly.

Selected performances from "JAZZ-
VISIONS" wil be videotaped for
distribution in worldwide television syn-
dication by Lorimar-Telepictures.

Tickets for the series and individual
concerts are available at the Wiltern
Theatre Box Office and all Ticketmaster
Centers. A special 10 percent discount
will be offered on sales of tickets for
three or more concerts.

Mandela writes books

Two new books by the imprisoned
leader of South Africa's anti-apartheid
movement, Nelson Mandela, have been
recently published in the United States,
they are THE STRUGGLE IS MY
LIFE and HABLA NELSON
MANDELA.

Mandela's books are published by
Pathfinder Press in New York, which
also publishes books by Fidel Castro,
Malcolm X, and leaders of the San-
dinista revolution in Nacaragua.

THE STRUGGLE IS MY LIFE
brings together speeches and writings by
Mandela spanning more than 40 years
of his activity in the African National
Congress (ANC), the major organiza-
tion fighting for the end of apartheid
rule in South Africa. Mandela's court-
room testimony in the 1964 trial at
which he was sentenced to life imprison-
ment is also included. A special supple-
ment contains accounts of Mandela in
prison by his fellow prisoners.

Among the most recent material is
Mandela's reply to South African Presi-
dent P.W. Botha's 1985 offer to release
Mandela if the ANC leader "uncondi-
tionally rejected violence as a political
weapon." In his reply, read by his
daughter Zinzi to a mass meeting in
Soweto, near Johannesburg, Mandela
said: "Let him (Botha) renounce
violence. Let him say that he will
dismantle apartheid. Let him unban the
people's organization, the African Na-
tional Congress. Let him free all who
have been imprisoned, banished or exil-
ed for their opposition to apartheid. Let
him guarantee free political activity so
that people may decide who will govern
them . . .

Mandela remains imprisoned at the
Pollsmoor maximum security prison
near Cape Town, despite the growing
movement in South Africa and
throughout the world demanding his
release.

HABLA NELSON MANDELA con-
tains Spanish translations of Mandela's
courtroom testimony in 1962 and 1964,
and the Freedom Charter, the key docu-
ment of the South African freedom
struggle.

Both books contain photographs of
Mandela, his wife, Winnie, and protest
activities in South Africa. These books
are available in local bookstores or by
mail from Pathfinder Press, 410 West
St., New York, NY 10014.

Poet teaches class,
talks about her writing

anonymous chapter set up

by DENISE GOOSBY

"I hate grading papers — evaluating people. I enjoy talking with students and
discussing ideas with them. But I hate to give grades. To me, it's not what you
know, it's what you learn."

Special people. This past Interterm, the Mount was graced with a special woman.
A special teacher. Her name was Dr. Elizabeth Sewell, a noted poet, teacher, and lec-
turer. Widely traveled, Dr. Sewell has taught in several colleges and universities
throughout the United States, including Fordham, Vassar, and previously at the
Mount, where she was also a Commencement speaker. Although Dr. Sewell has been
"Americanized" for 14 years, her speech and carriage marks her English heritage

"At age seven, like all English children, I was sent back to England to attend
school. Later, upon completion of my doctorate from Cambridge, I left for the
United States."

Dr. Sewell expressed profound love and admiration for America. Love at first
sight. Yet, the shock of entering another culture was strong — and disturbing She ,

was surprised by the differences in language, lifestyle, and look of her future country. ]\pW 21101*6X13. DU llITlld

"When I first came to the United States in 1949, I came to the real America —
middle America — Columbus, Ohio. It was so alien to me. So different. I had
come to serve a fellowship at a local university around October. It wasn't until
Christmas that I started to feel comfortable. But after that, I was completely in love
with the country."

Dr. Sewell's appreciation of American life compelled her to return to the country
often in the following 17 years. She loved the land — and its people. She found it
unbearable to return to England. She sought and acquired many teaching positions
within the U.S. just so she could stay and see America. She's been a citizen since
1973. Although she's lived in nearly every part of the country, she is still fascinated
by its diversity — and the fact that it's held together for so long. Dr. Sewell said
that too often Americans are more apt to travel and study other nations but not
their own. Which is a shame.

"There are so many places in America that are beautiful and unspoiled. Ameri-
cans really should see more of their country."

A lover and writer of poetry since childhood, Dr. Sewell believes that her fre-
quent travels inspire her poetry. Travel makes her observant; able to see as much as
she can. And it also makes her think.

Dr. Sewell has been a published writer since 1950. Her works have included short
stories, novels, and three collections of poetry, with her latest introduced in 1984.
She is currently working on a fourth collection of poems. She leaves no doubt that
writing is her greates love and deepest passion. Although she enjoys teaching (it's
her second great love), it is writing that fulfills and sustains her — a celebration of
life and people. Incredibly, Dr. Sewell does not express any of the anxiety or disap-
pointment that characterizes many writers. She also thinks that what she writes is
not always perfect.

"Some of it is better than others," laughs Dr. Sewell.

"I don't really think about what I've written too much. It doesn't interest me. I
remember having to teach a book of mine once. I was never so bored in all my life.
I didn't want to teach that beastly book."

It is because Dr. Sewell does not know everything about her subjects that drives
her and her students to discuss and analyze the material before them. It is a practice
that she particular!) enjoyed doing in the "Blake and Newton" class that she
taught during the Interterm. She was impressed by the faithfulness of her students.
She admired their willingness to do such hard work on very difficult areas — phi-
losophy and literature. She was delighted that they did not become uninterested
and apathetic towards their studies like so many college students.

"I am happy to see the girls doing so well. I know I'm enjoying myself. When the
faculty enjoy what they are doing, it's a certainty that the students will too."

A new chapter of Anorexics /Bulimics
Anonymous (ABA) has opened in West
Los Angeles at 1100 Glendon Street,
Suite 1119. The hour-and-a-half sessions,
which are free, are under the guidance
of a volunteer, licensed psychotherapist,
Ms. Daniela Alloro, M.F.C.C. The meet-
ings are held from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. on
Saturdays and the phone number is (213)
487-7339. ABA applies some of the same
techniques used in the successful treat-
ment of alcoholism to a rapidly growing
ailment among young women — the eat-
ing disorders of anorexia nervosa and
bulimia.

ABA was founded by Adel A. Eldah-
my, M.D., of Long Beach, California,
an Egyptian-born Southern California
psychologist, who borrowed the tech-
niques from Alcoholics Anonymous,
after attending a Harvard University
conference on eating disorders last year.
Physicians attending the conference re-
ported very high relapse rates following
hospitalization and long-term psycho-
therapy.

"Recovering anorexics and bulimics,
like alcoholics, need to discuss the un-
derlying cause of their illness in a sup-
portive, non-judgmental environment.
They must get away from thinking about
food, calories and diet and focus on the
low self-esteem and lack of control that
cause eating disorders," Dr. Eldahmy
said.

Anorexia nervosa is characterized by
behavior directed toward losing weight,
delusion of body image, and intense

fears of gaining weight. Bulimia is un-
controlled eating of food, or binge eat-
ing, over a short period of time, followed
by purging — self-induced vomiting.

A member's life was saved in the first
meeting of the ABA Anorexics /Bulimics
Anonymous chapter in Long Beach.
Dr. Eldahmy described the effect on the
heart of purging, which reduces potassi-
um, a vital element in the functioning of
the heart. The member said she was
having the symptoms Dr. Eldahmy de-
scribed. She was rushed to a hospital
where she was treated for a "dangerous-
ly low" potassium level.

Dr. Eldahmy, who is a founder and
director of the Long Beach (California)
Eating Disorders Clinic, established the
first three Anorexics/ Bulimics Anony-
mous chapters in Long Beach, Bellflower
and La Palma. All meetings begin with
educational sessions which discuss the
effects on the body of binging and purg-
ing and exaggerated weight loss. Com-
munity dentists, endocrinologists, psy-
chiatrists and psychologists discuss how
eating disorders affect emotional health
and body chemistry and, in some eight
percent of patien ts, result in death.

Sherrie H., a recovering bulimic and
an ABA member since the La Palma
group was founded in July, said, "No
one can recover from bulimia. You can
control it, but you always think about it.
The group gives you a place to be with
other people who know where you're
coming from. It's the one place I can
talk openly and get honest feedback."

Editorial student opinions not heard

by DENISE GOOSBY

When I first came to the Mount, I had stars in my eyes. To me, the college was a
"Utopia." It was a place to learn — to grow. A place that supported, encouraged,
and strengthened me. As a student — as a woman. As a person. Yes, when I first
came to the Mount, I had stars in my eyes . . . But the stars have faded.

To some extent — to a large extent — Mount St. Mary's College is still the sup-
portive, yet challenging environment I entered over two years ago. Faculty and ad-
ministration care about how students feel; how they grow: and how they will devel-
op into concerned, competent adults after they graduate.

Yet, those same people, through their policies and actions, often contribute more
towards stunting student growth than encouraging it. In a community of learning,
this cannot be allowed to continue. There are many college rules and attitudes that
prevent students from becoming their best, but one is especially destructive: rejec-
tion and ignorance of student opinion.

"The objectives are to assist the student to develop a disciplined and a continuing
curiosity, a receptivity to new ideas, and a base for evaluation of these new ideas."
(Mount St. Mary's College Catalogue, p. 11; 1984-86).

Your opinions are respected. Students are constantly being told how highly indi-
vidual thoughts are prized at the Mount. And, in many ways — forums, student
government — students can express their views. But the price is high. It can be high
because some faculty and administrators cannot accept any other beliefs but their
own. If a student gives an opinion contrary to their (faculty) own, they may lower a
student's grade. Or if a student belives that a meal is unhealthy and needs to be
changed, they (food service) may ignore them. Neither situation is fictitious —
they've both occurred and reoccurred on this campus. And they're only tiny ex-
amples of what can happen when a student chooses to speak out. It's got to stop.
It's got to stop because if students feel that they cannot disagree or express different
opinions from "Authority," they will be compelled to support rules and beliefs
that they do not respect. An extremely bad habit to develop . . .

Also, if students are conditioned to abide by other's opinions, they will not be
encouraged to create and voice new ideas. They won't be accepted. Even more dis-
turbingly, students will not learn to observe and interpret opinions. There can be no
evaluation without comparison — and there can be no right or wrong.

To confront this problem, the Mount must provide an environment which fost-
ers diverse beliefs. An important first step in creating an open atmosphere would be
informing and publicizing the academic and policy committees that students repre-
sent, such as the Curriculum and Grievance committees. It's an almost certainty
that 9 out of 10 students do not know why these committees are, much less who's
serving on them.

Students need role models. They need to know that their peers are speaking out —
and that their voices are heard. Hold forums discussing the nature of these commit-
tees. Introduce the students who serve on them. Recognize their accomplishments
on Mary's Day. Let them be known and appreciated so that students can be in-
spired by their courage.

Secondly, students and administration alike, should support organizations that
will encourage discussions — not stifle them. The recendy revised school newspa-
per is an incredible opportunity for students and administrators to influence others
to express their ideas and thoughts. In the past, it has not received the praise and
support from faculty and adminstration that it needs to survive. Consequently, it's
been discontinued and another vehicle for discussion has stalled. Hopefully, the
Mount will not allow this to happen again.

"Mount St. Mary's College is an academic community devoted to continuing ex-
ploration of our relation to God, other persons, and nature." (Mount St. Mary's
College Catalogue, p. 11; 1984-86.)

Without diversity there can be no discussion. NO exchange of ideas, NO Crea-
don of the new and unique. Mount students need diversity. They need to be expose
to different people with different ways of living. And they need to be encouraged to
experiment with their own lifestyles.

Because the school's academic program is demanding — and understandably
so — it's hard for students to find the time to meet new people, or even to discuss
issues with teachers and friends on campus. A two-hour "free period" — an idea
expressed at our first student advocate class — would do much towards alleviating
the anxiety most students feel when academics and personal fulfillment come into
conflict. Students could attend cultural events (plays, concerts); forums; panel dis-
cussions; or just interact with peers and faculty.

The issues that students could explore during the "free period" would be phe-
nomenal. They could learn about the new Education Bill; argue abortion, support
our sports teams, or discuss the merits of career and family without feeling torn be-
tween their responsibilities as students and their responsibilities to themselves. To
their personal well-being. In short, they could learn to grow. To achieve.

Although the Mount doesn't hold the mystique, for me, as it once did, I still see
it as a wonderful institution to develop and learn from. It's a place that inspires and
challenges me to do my best — to be my best. Yet it could be so much more — so
very much more. We need to change. Only when students are truly accepted as
adults, as people with hearts and minds of their own — until they're able to speak
out freely — the uniqueness that is the Mount will be lost. The price will be high —
and we'll all pay it.

Editorial Student apathy at root of problems

United Way begins
new campaign

"EGBOK, the United Way" is the
theme at KABC TALKRADIO AM 79
in February, when radio superstars Ken
Minyard and Bob Arthur join the Unit-
ed Way in Los Angeles as celebrity co-
chairmen of the 1986-87 campaign, an-
nounced United Way Campaign Chair-
man David E. Anderson.

The popular co-hosts of the Ken and
Bob Company, the leader in the 5-9 a.m.
slot in Los Angeles radio, will headline
a month-long KABC salute to United
Way and its more than 350 agencies and
partners.

The promotion includes in-studio and
phone interviews with United Way agen-
cy representatives, service recipients and
volunteers with the Ken and Bob Com-
pany and other KABC TALKRADIO
personalities, commentators and report-
ers such as Michael Jackson, Ciji Ware,
Barbara Esensten and Bud Furillo.
Posters will be distributed in public li-
braries and Recreation and Park facili-
ties in Los Angeles, and in area super-
markets and the offices of corporate
United Way campaign members.

"EGBOK (Everything's gonna be OK)
the United Way" tee shirts will be given
to KABC callers and be presented to
KABC station personnel as well as to
representatives of United Way support-
ed agencies and United Way volunteers.

Ken and Bob will also fill their Febru-
ary calendar with personal appearances
at United Way agencies and campaign

There is a new, booming club on campus that is by far the
one that has the most members. It is so easy to join, in fact,
you don't even have to sign up or pay dues, the only require-
ment is that you have student apathy. This new, underground
organization, of course, is the "Do Nothing" club.

Life, as we know it at the Mount, is pretty boring for most of
us and exciting for only a few. Why? Student Apathy. No one
wants to get involved and the ones that do are the same ones
every time. Granted, everyone is concerned about grades, but
you must realize that the "active" people also maintain high
grade point averages. If more people were to get involved, the
tasks would be similar and there would be others willing to help
who "know the ropes." An extra activity could be helpful since
you would have to stick by a schedule to make sure assign-
ments get accomplished.

Can you imagine if those ten people were serving a dinner to
850 people — it would be a tough job and there would be lots
of complaints.

Speaking of complaints . . . How can people, who do next
to nothing to support school activities, complain when some-
thing isn't satisfactory to them? Who has thought a band,
movie, dance, lecture, etc. was terrible, but did nothing after
that to improve the situation? Why spend the $35 activity fee
and then just complain? It's not that difficult to get involved in
order to make something what you want it.

I would safely say that every single organization would wel-
come and want new members who are willing to support them.
Some things a club can have you do can actually be fun. Want
to show your artistic talent? Offer to paint posters for a club's
event or for your class. Like meeting people? Offer to pass out
fliers for an organization's event, or get sponsors. Do you just

The Mount could benefit us moreso if we were to give it a bit hk * to he| P° ut and feel important? Join a committee to plan
more than brainpower. For example, our fledgling newspaper, an ° set U P for an act ' vlty - Tnere 1S s0 much vou can do if vou
The View. How many people are honestly on the staff and make «" '"^rested effort. Go for something you like or try to
working? Maybe ten. That means ten people are attempting to ?. hang £ something you don t. But don't just sit around and
interest about 850 people — the students , faculty, and staff. Uo Notn '"g

events and tours of United Way support-
ed facilities that span a wide range of
health and human service organizations
that benefit from each United Way don-
or dollar.

In on-air and off-air activities, Ken
and Bob will learn such things as giving
blood with the Red Cross, knot-tying
with youth organizations and how to
properly savor such treats as Girl Scout
cookies. They will be entertained by
such groups as the Salvation Army Chil-
dren's singers and Project Return Play-
ers, a troupe of performers sponsored
by the Mental Health Association.

"Ken and Bob and their colleagues at
KABC are among the most entertaining,
engagin talkradio stars in the country,"
said campaign Chairman Anderson.

"The Hills Are Alive

by MAUREEN CARTER and ASSOCIATES

The other day, as I was walking across campus, I couldn't help noticing the pro-
motional filming taking place. That brought a question to mind — What are the
attractions of this school? And what is especially unique about it? Well, besides the
fact that it is a private, Catholic, 4-year, liberal arts women's college, let's get down
to the nitty gritty . . .

Mount Saint Mary's College —
WHERE:

— without a car, you can take a four-year retreat.

— you can roll out of bed and roll into class (literally).

— you're practically forced to take on a hill just walking around campus.

— every dance is a Sadie Hawkins.

— you don't have to worry about getting your boyfriend to leave at night — the
school will take care of that!

— taking the stairs is faster than the elevator.

— the library is a museum.

— you don't have to worry about not being asked to the formal.

— you skin your knee and half of the student body is ready to practice first aid on
you!

— you don't know if your date is talking to you when he says "dear" (deer)?!

— you will never be an unknown student in class.

— you might even believe someone who uses "I got lost" as an excuse for not com-
ing to get you.

ALSO:

— Where else could you practically take one step outside and be able to pray in a
church? (for good grades) (or dates)??

— Where else could you take a short walk and be so lucky as to lose your writing
hand to a coyote?

— Where else would a guy on campus (no matter what he looks like) get so many
glances!?

— Where else would one be considered a crowd, and two a party?

— Where else would a PMS Seminar get such a big percentage of attendance from
the student body?

— Where else could you go "all out" at aerobics and not worry about anyone
watching?

— Where else would the telephone so largely dictate the students' social lives?

— Who else could go so eagerly and easily help you liquidate and spend your assets
. in one place?

AND FINALLY:

— Where else could you find another stupid, exaggerated article like this? (Now,
that question isn't so easy, is it?)

Tennis players ready
to start new season

by AMY KUHNERT

MSMC is beginning a new tennis tra-
dition this year that features a new
coach and new players, as well as some
dedicated returnees. The team, in its
second year of existence, is looking for-
ward to a banner year following last
year's slow start, which included a skele-
ton crew, two coaching changes and oth-
er maladies that come with any new team.

MSMC opened their 20 match season
on Feb. 4 with Cal Tech. Results were
not available at press time. Other oppo-
nents will include national champions
St. Mary's College from the Bay area
and nationally ranked Westmont Col-
lege of Santa Barbara.

New coach Rebecca Schultz comes to
MSMC to start the tennis program, bring-
ing with her playing, coaching and re-
cruiting expertise that has gained her
recognition nationwide. Along with
coaching junior players to national
rankings, Schultz played varsity tennis
and soccer at Drake University and later
at the University of Wisconsin-Milwau-
kee, where she went on to coach one of
their winningest teams.

"The philosophy of the college and
my philosophy as a coach can only be a
winning combination. I look forward to
working with such gifted student ath-
letes that excel in the classroom and on
(i

the court as well," said Schultz.

Schultz also added that, despite last
year's slow start, and no recruiting by
previous coaches, that she is optimistic
about this year's season.

Some of the players include Marian
Meade, a returning player from last
year's team, who is a junior in the physi-
cal therapy program. Meade, a top play-
er from Orange County, will play num-
ber one singles and will also be a key
part in the number one doubles team.

Caitlin Jaffarian, another key player,
played high school tennis at Pacific Pal-
isades High School and came to MSMC
from Santa Monica College. Jaffarian
played on the MSMC volleyball team
this fall and will bring her well rounded
athletic ability to the tennis team as a
key player.

Freshman Tina Lomondo, from Row-
land Heights, is another key player,
who is a top student athlete. She was se-
lected as one of MSMC's Presidential
Scholarship award winners, and her ten-
nis ability will surely place her in the
starting six.

Eight other talented athletes round
out the team's roster.

Schultz said, "We will never be a
USC or UCLA, but the possibilities for
success for any of my players and my
whole team are definitely there."

The tennis team includes: Front Row (L-R), Marcia Gilbert, Caitlin Jaffarian,
Coach Rebecca Schultz, Pat Thummanond and Lorinda Guzman. Back Row:
Karen Tanagredy, Marian Meade, Suzanne Murphy, Marit Woo, Tina Lomondo
and Eileen Sapinoso. Not pictured: Michelle Martin, Sharon Flores and Atsuko
Baba.

such a competitive and exciting season. Because of their enthusiasm and participa-
tion, Mount Saint Mary's students were able to carry out yet another sporting cal-
endar. Thanks to team members of both teams, their efforts and good academic
records brought to life and reality a season that would not have been possible with-
out their caring and involvement.
