Education professor taught by example 'Sara Moore ASStsT ANT NEWS EDITOR

UD lost a great friend and educa­tor when Dr. Gerald W. O'Neil died of an apparent heart attack Oc t. 27 at age 60.

O'Neil was an assistant professor in the teacher education departmen t. He mainly taught i1iu-oductory edu­cation classes and was known for giving personal anention tn all his students.

" He related very. very well with studen ts on a personal basis, espe­ciall y freshman education students," said Donald J. Frericks, assistant dean of the Sclrnol of Education. "He worked closely with them."

O'Neil was born in Detroit and made his final vows with the Marian­isl order in August 1957. After gradu­ating from UD in 1956, he began teaching at Cham111ade High School in Dayton. He held several otherteach­ing and administ rative positions at Catholic high sch ools around the country hefo re returning to Chami­nade High School w1d serving as principal there from I 968 to 197 l.

O'Neil earned his m,Lster's de-

gree from St. John 's University in New York and a Ph.D. in education from the University of Notre Dame. From 1975 to 1980, he served as the director of educational services at Dayton ' s Bergamo Center.

() ' Neil' s teaching career at UD hegan when he became an adjunct professor in 1977. He joined the UD fac ulty in 1980,and created the Mari­imist Center for Human Development.

UD President Raymond Fitz said O' Neil will be missed on campus.

"Brother Jerry was a wonderful hum an being and will be deeply missed by his many friends at the university," Fitz said. " He embodied two imponant virtues of the Marian­isl charism. The first one is that of hospitality. Brother Jerry reached out to many people from all walks of life, making them feel welcome. Secondly, Brother Jerry knew how to empower others with leadership, to make things happen, and he nevertook any kind of credi t for that. •·

Dr. Roberta Weaver, chair of the teacher education department, said O'Neil Jived and fostered Marianist qualities by example.

"He modeled excellent teacher behaviors to his students," Weaver

said. O'Neil will perhaps be missed

most by his students. Kristin Spanfellner, a junior el­

learned a lot about people and how students learn in O'Neil 's class. Spanfellner said although she had O'Neil when she was a first-year student. he never forgot who she was.

"He made every student feel like they were really special in their own way, and he never forgot you," Spanfellner said.

According to Heft, a Catholic uni­versity cannot truly be Catholic with­out the freedom to openly discuss issues of importance to the commu­nity.

··Inherent in adult Christian faith is the ability to think and think freely about the commitment one has made thoughtfully and freely," Heft said.

The debate. according to Heft. places the people who want a first­class educational institution on one side and those who want an educa­tional institution that is faithful and committed to the church on the other.

One of the major issues of aca­demic freedom is the treatment of religious courses at the university. Senior interior design major Debbie Onacila said there is a bias toward the Catholic faith.

"Every class is taught by a Roman Catholic professor, and I understand that at a Catholic university, but ev­ery example they use pertains to the Catholic faith and docs not addn.:ss other religious sects, .. Onac.:ila said.

Video store considered by student government Ramona Christen SENIOR STA.FF WRITER

The Student Government Asso­ciation is exploring the idea of open­ing a campus video store at the old Kinko's Copies location on Brown Street.

lf SGA can rent the property from UD at a low monthly cost. a student­run video store could be operating upon students' return from Christ­mas break, according to SGA presi­dent Garry McGuire.

"SGA has looked into different entrepreneurial ventures in the past, and we want what's best for the stu­dent body." McGuire said.

The property on Brown Street is owned by the university, and McGuire said it makes sense for a university­related business to be established there rather than another business.

"It is perfectly set up to be a video store and would require only minor renovations to install shelves and free­standing racks," McGuire said.

Kinko's rented the property from UD prior to moving funher north on Brown Street. The printing company benefited not only students but also members of the Dayton community.

According to Joe Belle, assistant dean of students for residential prop­erties, the university wants to rent the property to a business that will ben­efit students, faculty and staff and develop a relationship with the sur­rounding community.

Belle said the university received calls from Subway, Pizza Hut and various delis interested in renting the property. However, the administra­tion did not think these would be the most hcneficial businesses.

C:urrcntly an additional laundry fac1hty, a banking institution and a video store arc hcing considered most scriou_sly. Parking near the building 1s hm1tcd, presenting problems for a laundry facility. A bank would be underequippcd to handle the needs of the business sector.

The final idea was to invite an existing video store to rent the prop­erty. Blockbuster and Video Town require more space than is available, and some smaller video chains arc concerned there would not be enough business during the summer months.

According to Belle, the depart­ment of residential properties will respond to SGA ·s proposal and ex­amine the pros and cons. Belle also said there is another university orga­nization considering using the loca­tion. but he would not name the orga­nization.

The Flyer News has learned, how­ever. that the other interested organi­zation is the Bookstore.

"We are in a holding pattern now," Belle said.·· A lot of logistics need to be considered before the idea is con­summated."

Dr. William Schuerman, vice president of student development and dean of students, said he is open to the concept.

"Obviously students would be in­terested in video entertainment op­tions, but the choices of videos would have to be considered," Schuerman said.

First-year engineering student Jim Reilly thinks the idea will be a great service to students.

"I think it would be convenient because it is so close," Reilly said. "I'm sure that my friends and I would take advantage of it."

STAFF YIRrTER

The Student Government Asso­ciation has developed anew Program Funding Council to distribute funds to help financially strapped student organizations.

The PFC, made up of 21 mem­bers, has been allotted $10,000 to distribute to various campus clubs and organizations that demonstrate effons to help the student body as a whole.

According to SGA director of of­fice management and PFC member Nick Austin. this concept is long overdue.

"In the past, SGA has had to spend ponions of busy meetings to deter­mine which organizations should re­ceive funding," Austin said.

"Now the funds can be dealt with hy the PFC, and the organizations have a helter chance of getting the funds they need."

To receive money from the PFC, :m organization must submit a writ-

Austin said a good example of how the PFC works is the Sigma Chi Derby Days. Sigma Chi fraternity was given the money for their pany in the Fieldhouse, which will be open to the student body.

The PFC is composed of members of SGA, Greek organizations, clubs, staff and other students.

"The PFC is a great opponunity for UD clubs and organizations," Austin said. "If a proposal is good, and the necessity for money will ben­efit the student body, then the group will have a better chance of getting money than if they went through SGA."

According to Jeff LaForest.. presi­dent of Sigma Chi, the PFC council will be beneficial for everyone.

Theuniversityisdevelopinganew student exchange program that in­volves sending students to Russia and welcoming Russian students to UD.

The History Depanment.,Provost's Office and the Center for Interna­tional Studies are organizing the ex­change program, which will send UD students to Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute in Yaroslavl, Russia.

Associate history professor Dr. Michael Smith is enthusiastic about the possibilities for the program.

"An exchange with Russia de­mands a lot more care and attention to detail," Smith said. "We are working now and will continue working until the moment the exchange ends to ensure a happy, healthy and success­ful exchange."

Plans for the exchange have been under way since April, when Smith invited Alexander Khodnev, a pro­fessor of history at Yaroslavl State Pedagogical Institute, to UD.

Following Khodnev' s visit, Smith went to Yaroslavl in June. He plans to visit Yaroslavl again in February, hoping to finalize the program plans.

"It's all in the works right now," Smith said. "We haven't signed any agreements with the Russians yet, but UD adminisrration is working on it."

Smith anticipates sending four UD students to the Institute in May of 1993 and welcoming two Russian students to UD at the same time.

Along with the students, one pro­fessor from each school will make the exchange, teaching a class at the pan­ner school. All of the classes will be taught in English.

According to Smith, the exchange program has three major points: aca­demics, cultural immersion and cur-

riculum development. He says the Russian professors will be looking for new courses, textbooks and teach­ing methods to take home with them now that they have more control over their curricula.

"History classes used to be de­fined by strictly communist pany lines," Smith said. "But now the writ­ing and teaching of history needs to be presented in all varieties."

Smith said he hopes his enthusi­asm for the program will spread to students, and he thinks if the summer program is successful, expansion to a semester exchange is like! y.

The Institute, dedicated to teach­ing and research, will soon be con­verted into a state university for un­dergraduate and graduate education. The Institute currently has about 6,<XXJ students.

"It is just about the same size, so we thought it would make a very good partner for UD," Smith said.

There will be an informational meeting for the program on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in O'Leary Auditorium.

Students must have at least two years of Russian language and be in good academic standing to qualify, but the program is not exclusive to history majors, Smith said.

Public safety officers catch the biking fever Kim Jackson STAFF WRrTER

A new mountain bike patrol has been created by the Department of Public Safety to protect the UD com­munity and to build positive relations with students.

John Dclamer. director of public safety, said the community-oriented project would allow officers to inter­act with students on a closer, more personal basis.

The bike patrol was not estab­lished to enforce alcohol policies or correct minor disciplinary problems, Delamer said.

"This idea was implemented to build positive relations with students and to make them aware of our func­tions;· Price said. "So far, the stu­dents seem curious about the pro­gram. and I have made every effort to answer their questions."

Price said his responsibilit ies range from talking with students about locking up their bikes and cars to reporting damaged property.

"Weare really making an effort to change the image of public safety so that students can approach us with positive atti tudes about our goals for a safer campus." Price said. "We want students to know that we are on their side and not just out to break up their parties."

Students have shown positive re­actions toward the new bike patrol.

Philip Price is the current patrol officer for the Ghetto and the Dark Side. Public safety is making efforts to extend the program by adding more officers. Dclamer said.

Robin Klabik, a sophomore unde­clared major, said she feels the patrol will help strengthen the relationship between students and officers.

positive thing for all clubs and orga­ni,.ations on campus." Laforest said. "Our Derby Days party is not an entirely Greek party - everyone is welcome to attend - and the PFC helped make this possible through additional funds.''

At the proposal meeting on Sept. 28. the PFC ran into their first major problem. The University Activities Office c,ime to the meeting with their proposal instead of handing the pro­posal in to the council ten days previ­ously. The council decided to hear UAO's prnposal and granted them $2,000.

SGA president Garry McGuire, who was not present at the PFC meet­ing, vetoed the money right away. citing that UAO was ineligible for funding from the council.

"First of all, UAO should not have been allowed to speak at the meeting. because their written proposal was nevertumed in, .. McGuire said. ·'They are also an office, not a student orga­nization, and are therefore ineligible."

McGuire added that Dr. William Schuerman, vice president of student development and dean of students, said that the PFC was not allowed to allot any money for Homecoming, which has a separate budget in Stu­dent Development.

"This is the first year for the PFC. and I feel that this council will be given more money in the future," McGuire said. ''We want to stick to the rules that we have set in the first year."

Nick Peters, a member of Sigma Chi and sophomore business major. said he feels that the PFC is looking out for what will benefit the student body the most.

"It was a very good process be­cause I was forced to clarify every­thing," Peters said. "The PFC showed real concern in evaluating whether or not the money would benefit the stu­dent body."

Emphasis on debates shows

dependence on television Television rules American society.

If that wasn't clear before Tuesday, it should beclearnow. As soon as George Bush announced his desire to hold four televised debates, public interest in the campaign reached levels it had not approached since Ro ss Perot' s withdraw! in July. Four potential de­batescaused more excitement than the last four months of the campaign.

Contrary to public opinion, the de­bates will not be the perfect solution that the country is looking for. The candidates will not suddenly propose brilliant new plans for reducing the deficit or revamping our health care system. They will spout the same rheto­ric that has made the American public feel out of touch with the campaign for months. The only real difference will be the slim chance that one candidate might catch the other off guard.

Educate yourselves about the is­sues. Read the candidates' platforms. Don't let your vote for the next four years rest on four hours of television. l lopcfully, the voting public will focus on 11nportant issues, while the candi­dates debate on how to debate.

Dazed and Confused by: Christine Knieser

This past Sunday, the Uni­versity of Dayton suffered a great toss in the tragic death ofBrother Jerry O'Neil. The loss of some­one who cared so much for oth­ers is one that will be felt by all.

It is like I y that the death of someone we know is not a new experience for any of us, nor is it an experience that we will never have to deal with in the future. In fact, despite all the efforts of medicine, science and even re­frigeration, our own death is in­evitable. Yet no matter how natu­ral and commonplace death is for us, there remain both sad­ness and fear involved.

Sadness and grief occur when we are somehow personally in­volved in the situation. Deaths

that we read about in the paper every day do not have the same effect on us as the appearance of a name of someone we know in the obituary column.

My favorite national monu­ment - and, I feel, the most moving - is the Vietnam War Memorial. What touches me is not the recognition of a familiar name. for I know no one who died in the war. It is not reading the names of so many people who died. for although that sense of tragedy exists, it is no different than reading the newspaper. How­ever, my heart grieves and my

eyes tear on observing the many people around me who mourn fo r their own family and friends. The moment we become connected with the death, we cannot help but feel grief and sorrow.

Experiencing the death of someone we know immediately reminds us of our own mortality and our fear of that mortality. Be­yond death lies not only uncer­tainty, but also that which we can­not control. Fear, though, is the opposite of faith and Jesus calls us to trust and have faith in him.

Jesus said to us, "I am the resurrection and the life: whom­ever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never

It's not that he placed one group within the confines of an­other group that bothered us. Rather. it is the simple fact that one mdividual threw yet another kink into the chain of progress.

C11ming from sheltered com­mu111ties. our views and experi­ences were limited to predomi­nantly those of European Ameri­cans. Up,1n entering the Univer­Sll) of Oayton. we were chal­kngl'tleithertocxpandourviews ,Uld experiences or to remain ig­nor,ull and nai\e about the is­sues facmg race relations.

There \\ ere times in our first

few years that we failed miser­ably: times when those sheltered communities of the past beckoned to us with cries of, "We don't understand ... why are there differ­ences?". But we realized the error of our ways and have worked hard to separate ourselves from those sheltered communities and dive into the unknown challenges of expanding our views and experi­ences.

Understanding doesn't mean complete knowledge. but rather means recognizing the individual differences of every human and consciously allowing for those dif­ferences. regardless of whether those differences fit one's personal -;cheme or not.

The time 1s upon us to do what our predecc sors were unable to do. The time fur labeling. ignoring and excusmg has past. The time

for all this "us and them"ideology must end. We are all in the same boat sailing down the same river headed for the same destination.

As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said in his letter from a Birming­ham jail nearly thirty years ago. '·Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and the deep fog of misun­derstanding will be lifted from our fear-drenched communities, and in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars oflove and broth­erhood will shine over our great nation with all of their scintilla!-

lt is this tendency toward being out or touch with realiiy that came tu mind last week when reading the College Republicans· column on government spending.

On the very same day the col­umn appeared. praising the forces of the free market system and cham­pioning George Bush as the presi­dent of smaller government. an­other article on government spend­ing waspublishedin the Wall Street Journal. In that anicle, Dan Mitchell of the Conservative Heritage Foun­dation noted that under George Bush. spending has actually in­crea~ed more than in any other ad­ministration in the past three de­cades.

Funhermorc, the Wall Street Journal anicle suggests that Ameri­cans might want govemmentspcnd­ing. ln a poll asking how best to use an extra $25 billion in federal funds,

College Democrat Erik Janas

only 10 percent favored a tax cut. Fully 56 percent favored investing in job training and education. The Anwrican people do not mind hig government. They do mind big, inef­ficient government. This fact seems a little different thm1 what the Col­kge Republicans want you to be­lieve.

The College Repunlicans actu­ally state, "It should come as no surprise that Republicans do not present a comprehensive governmen­tal plan for the next four years." Well. the people who actually care what happens to this country in the next four years will be relieved to know that Bill Clinton does have a plan.

Here's a quick economic lesson for the College Republicans that any­one who bas had Principles of Eco­nomics can teach: There is a differ­ence between government spending for consumption and for investment. Investment involves benefits for both the present and the future. The build­ing of roads, bridges, a national in­formation network, new technolo-

gics - all of which arc parts of Bill Clinton's plan are examples of investment.

Under Reagan-Rush-Quayle, the United States h,l~ managed to qua­druple the deficit yet somehow de­crease investment. That means there is more wasteful government spend­ing. In fact, every other major coun­try that the U.S. competes with in­vests a higher percentage of its in­come.

Under the Clinton plan. the gov­ernment will invest $220 billion, se­curing America's future and creat­ing jobs. The plan pays for itself by slashing $ 150 billion in wasteful government spending and asking the wealthiest two percent of Americans to pay their fair share. With the money left over, Clinton will cut the deficit by half over the next five years. It's a plan endorsed by six Nobel Prize­winning economists as a good plan for putting America back on track.

As the College Republicans say, if you 're waiting for George Bush's plan, "Don't holdyourbreath."Rec­ognize, however. that it is not be­cause George Bush knows what is on the minds of Americans, it is because he and the Republicans are a little too out of touch.

ciaries, at the expense of everyone else.

When George Bush proposes a cut in the capital gains tax, he is ponraycd as catering to the wealthy and giving them money they really don't need, because they're already wdl off.

The purpose of a tax cut is not purely to allow the individual who has earned money to keep more of it, but 10 stimulate growth.

When a business or businessman has more money to work with. he will do everything in his power to put it to a productive use, so that he may real­ize an even higher return on his investments in the future.

It is at this point that the ''trickle­down" benefits are realized. Perhaps he will hire another salesman, or an­other 2,000 salesmen, depending on the size of a company. Jobs have just been created.

Maybe he· II buy a new production machine, benefiting his own com­pany as well as the seller of the ma­chine. That manufacturing company is now doing better and can expand itself. and the benefits continue on through his suppliers.

Some of the money will go to Joe Stockholder. Maybe he'll buy his kid a new bike. or maybe he'll go out to dinner at the comer restaurant, help­ing n to succeed.

This is the essence of the creation of wealth. There is not a static amount of wealth in the world. The fact that a company kept more of its earnings does 1101 mean that somewhere some­body is exactly that much worse off.

Capitalism is built on the concept that modem civilization did not arise through the redistribution of the ex­isting wealth present in natural re­sources. The wealth was created.

Those who would deny this rela­tionship do not understand the funda­mentals of capitalism, the system that brought us from the Dark Ages into modem civilization.

History is littered with failed at­tempts to deny this relationship in various social and economic experi­ments that have been attempted around the world.

As the rest of the planet breaks free of the horrors of such experi­ments, realizing that only through freedom, democracy and capitalism will success be achieved, many Americans naively continue to sup­port a party and a candidate who to this day would deny many of the most fundamental principles of a capitalist economy.

To get back to the original issue of a tax cut, one can clearly see the implications of all of this.

If the government takes a higher percentage of its citizens· wealth, itis not nearly putting it to its most pro­ductive uses - only the free market can do that. The creation of new wealth then slows exponentially, and everyone is worse off.

Hopefully, this will shed some light on future debate and conserva­tive philosophy in general. It is im­ponant that one not lose sight of the basic principles for which the candi­dates stand.

The conflict is between the free­dom of the marketplace and govern­ment control. You decide which is best on Nov. 3.

Pro-lifer protests prejudice In the Sept. 11 issue of the Flyer

News, a fellow student of mine referred to College Republicans as the KKK, a prejudiced organiza­tion with immense disrespect for human life and its variety and uniqueness. I find this student to be in complete contradiction of him­self. He and nearly all Democrats arc guilty of a far more serious prejudice than any KKK member.

Democrats gcncrall y support the uniqueness of human life as do Republicans. However. most Democrats fail to realize one thing about humanity and its beauty that Republicans have already come to appreciate. I am confident that most Republicans know where I am go­ing with this, whereas the majority of you Democrats have no idea.

I am referring to the child in the womb. Yes, I am certain all of you liberal Democrats are laughing and thinking how absurd I am for men­tioning this. It is time for you people to think logically. You accuse us conservatives of being narrow­minded and insensitive. Stop and look at yourself in the mirror. Your closed eyes ignore the fact that you truly are prejudiced against these women and men in the womb be­cause of their age and place of resi­dence.

A child conceived without plan­ning or by rape is not lo blame for the situation. The child has no con­trol over who she or he is or how she or he was created. Yet you are preju­diced against the woman and man in the womb because of how she or he was conceived.

The KKK speaks of cleansing this nation of African-Americans, claiming that this is not their land but the land of the white Anglo­Saxon Protestants. This same il­logical rhetoric the KKK preaches is exactly what numerous Demo­crats believe. You people are guilty of killing individuals in the womb and playing them off as trash. An

African-American ha5 as much right to live in this or any country a~ docs an unborn child.

Abortion is the worst thing since tile Holocaust, taking at least 29 million lives in the last 19 years. No one ha~ the right to take human life except in self-defense, just a~ the KKK has no right to kill or attack African-Americans or any other minorities.

The ignorance of you liberals disgusts me. I see your blatant lies throughout your illogical state­ments. and frankly. you insult the beauty of the human mind. I hope all of you Democrats realize that I did not refer to all of you as preju­diced. just most of you. There are many pro-life Democrats who con­tinually vote for pro-abortion can­didates.

Understand one thing. people: If you suppon the means. you obvi­ously support the end. The same goes with not standing up against racism. If you do not defend what is right, you are just as guilty as the next person.

I hear the praises being sung for Bill Clinton, yet this man is preju­diced against us as Catholics. He says that he will support the Free­dom of Choice Act. This piece of legislationrequires Catholic hospi­tals to perform abortions. Now who sounds like the KKK?

Liberals continually claim that conservatives are pushing their moral values on others. It seems to me that by supporting the Freedom of Choice Act, you are forcing your moral values on Catholics.

Just look at me as an angry indi­vidual who is sick of seeing the evil injustices brought against human­ity. After all, folks, is that not why Dr. Manin Luther King Jr. spoke up?

"Hats" helps children cope Jackie Jenks S910R STAFF 'MUTER

Bad things do happen to good people. Trudy Krisher learned that the day the doctor

discovered her 9-year-old daughter, Kathy, had Ewing's sarcoma, a rare bone cancer that typi­cally strikes children and young adults.

But good things often come out of bad experiences. "Kathy's Hats," a children's book about Kathy's struggle with the disease, is one example of that.

Krisher, a developmental writing instructor at the Learning Assistance Center, wrote the txx,k as a project for a children's literature class she took while Kathy was in treatment.

"Kathy's biggest problem was the fact that she lost her hair," Krisher said. "She was differ­ent than the other kids in her class, and there were no b<JOks written that addressed this prob­lem."

The b<xJk, illustrated by Krisher's friend Nadine Bernard Westcott. talks about different hats a child may wear throughout life: a baby b<innet, a swim cap, a dress-up hat, a baseball cap.

As Kathy struggled with losing her hair, her mother encouraged her to use her thinking cap, an invisible hat to help her think in the face of this challenge.

This idea changed Kathy's attitude, and she saw her own use of hats in a different light. At the end of the book, Kathy ·s class celebrates the the end of her treatments by throwing all of their hats 11110 the air - and she does, too.

Krisher said writing the book was her way of copmg with the experience.

'' If my family had to go through such a hard lime. I wanted to pu II through and somehow help others gmng through the same thing," she said."' Kathy's Hats' was our way of reaching others."

"Kathy\ I lats" was certamly a team effort. Kn her puhhshcd it herself. and her children helped collate tl1c copies.

"We laid out the pages on a table and all went to work," Krisher said. "It was funny, because a few defective copies of the book even came back to me with missing or upside down pages. I would imagine these were copies my son may have put together."

"Kathy's Hats," distributed from Krisher's desk and home, is carried in local bookstores and libraries, including Kathy's school library. It is also included in packets given to newly diagnosed patients at the children's hospitals.

Krisher said the response has been very positive. She has received lett~rs from people telling their stories and requesung copies of the book.

She has also shared her experiences through speaking engagements. She was a guest at the Montgomery County "Meet an Author Day" and has spoken to different classes at various Dayton public schools.

"The hat is a great teaching technique," Krisher said. "It's a good way to introduce a terrible topic like cancer."

In her talks, Krisher reads the book and addresses questions about the disease and about how a child with cancer wants to be treated.

"A lot of people don't know how to talk to someone with the disease," Krisher said. "This is especially true with children."

Krisher was instrumental in starting the Kid's Club, a support group at the Children's Hospital . "Kathy's Hats'' is dedicated to those children at the first support group meeting.

She also made a special note at the end of the book to all those who struggle with the disease.

"Kathy continues to be healthy and active," she writes. "As I watch her grow each day, I am reminded of the special courage that lives in the hearts of all young cancer patients, and I tip my hat to them.''

Krisher has an extensive writing background, ranging from her own book column in the former Dayton Journal Herald to various stories in area publications. She is current! y in the process of publishing a composition textbook.

Husbands and Wives Tri-Star Pictures

G **** -Excellent *** -Good ** -Fair * -Poor

Zoom in on a television set with a mad cientist babbling about Albert Einstein. woosh! The camera swings across the room,

esting for a second on a man who is complain­ng about his students.

Swish! The camera spins dizzily around to ocus on a woman, the man's wife, soothing im. The doorbell rings.

Whoosh! The camera swings wildly towards e couple who are now coming through the oorway.

Done in documentary fashion, "Husbands d Wives"'probes illlo the lives of two married uples. Periodic interviews with the cbarac-rs. narration of upcoming events and the ·rrerent camera angles all help to create the nsc that this movie is real.

This movie begins out of kilter, and sud dcnly you realize that it isn't one of those "let's go to the cinema so we can sec a very funny, romantic, sad, violent, etc. movie so we can escape life for a while." The different angles of the camera give a new perspective on watching a movie.

Two characters arc havmg a conversation side by side, but the camera is focused on only one character the entire time. Or two men arc talking in a grocery store, and the biggest part of thcpictureis taken up with bags of Pcpperidge Farm cookies. Somehow the audience - or, more specifically, you - coul.d be biding be­hind aisle three as the story unfolds before you.

As Woody Allen enlists us a~ his spies, he helps us figure out his story by giving us clues in the fom1 of interviews with the main charac­ters and those who have been a part of the main characters' lives.

For instance, soon after the audience learns of the break up of the Sally (Judy Davis) and Jack's (Sydney Pollack) marriage, the narrator interviews a hooker that Jack used to visit frequently before he and Sally split. Likewise, the audience periodically hears Judy's (Mia Farrow) ex-husband's comments on her per­sonality.

In turn, each character is interviewed throughout the film. These interviews prove very enlightening as they often contradict what the character has just told to another character.

You can rely on Kaplan test prep for the LSAT, MCAT, GMAT and GRE.

Woody Allen gives directions to Mia Farrow (center) and Judy Davis in Allen's new movie "Husbands and Wives."

The main questions Allen explores revolve around Sally and Jack's broken marriage and their good friends, Judy and Gabe (Woody Allen), who have their own marital problems. As Sally pretends to enjoy single life and Jack moves in with his lover. Judy and Gabe remain married but interested in what it would be like to be free. Judy falls for a coworker. but then she introduces him to Sally, who soon becomes his lover. Gabe. a professnr at a local college, is deeply attracted to Rain (Juliette Lewis), one of his bright young students. He develops a friend-

ship with her while hiding his infatuation from his wife. Judy becomes more and more dis­traught with their marriage as the movie progresses, yet constantly insisting to everyone that she and Gabe are "just fine."

Overall, this movie is wonderfully done. The characters are real, funny, and interesting.

While the characters don't find the answers to all of their problems, it is satisfying just the same to know that people everywhere can iden­tify with and question together some of life's biggest mysteries.

the work would be like, how I would adjust to the drastically different surroundings," Stevens said.

The morning after his arrival, Stevens was already well into his daily tasks. Each day began with prayer, liturgy and a quick break­fast.

The Martin House projects Stevens was involved in included Better Community Hous­mg of Trenton, Inc., a housing complex named '"Doorway to Hope," a furniture store and the Martin House Learning Center.

The Better Community Housing project kept Stevens husy Tuesday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:10 p.m. Stevens said he worked with four men from the Wilbur neighborhood con­structing decent, affordable housing.

According to Stevens, his co-workers had much less fortunate backgrounds than he.

"Drugs, crime, unemployment, alcoholism, helplessness and despair arc all familiar to the territory," Stevens said.

These four men were full-time, saJaried employees. Stevens said the job gave them and their community a sense of purpose and impor­tance.

Monday, Stevens painted living units at the "Doorway to Hope" housing complex, which Martin House built two years ago. The complex was designed as a transitional living area for single mothers in search of permanent housing.

Saturday was spent with one of the brothers and two neighborhood women operating a fur­niture store, Stevens said.

In the evenings from 7 to 9 p.m, Stevens tutored a small group of Haitian refugees hqw to speak English and apply for employment.

"That turned out to be the most personally rewan:ling," Stevens said.

The refugees, who escaped from Haiti fol­lowing the military coup in September 1991, were among the fortunate few who sought asylum in the United States before President Bush ordered that Haitians be turned away from America.

According to Stevens, the immigrants spoke French, Creole and broken English and struggled

spirit. "They kept getting up, no matter how many

times they'd been down," Stevens said. He said he was touched and encouraged by

the pride evident in statements such as, "I am happy to be Haitian."

Since returning to Dayton, Stevens has gone back to visit Wilbur twice. On Labor Day weekend, he gave a bicycle to one of his Haitian students. Stevens said he plans to keep in touch with his co-workers and the religious men be shared a home with and would like to return in the future.

"Little did I imagine that when the time came for me to leave in August, I would be searching for ways to stay," Stevens said.

Flyers await Mt. St. Joseph battle Intramural Sports Elaine Rosenwald SPORTS EDfTOR

Coming off two straight road games, the undefeated UD Football team returns to Welcome Stadium Saturday to take on the College of Mt. St. Joseph Lions.

Flyer head coach Mike Kelly said his team is playing with confidence.

"The kids are practicing real hard and are excited for the five game homestand coming up," Kelly said. "We are playing with confidence, and we arc going into this game busi­ness as usual."

The Flyers come into the game 3-0 after destroying Urbana University hy a score of 45-0 last Saturday. It was the third straight game in which UD has won by such a large margin. Much of the Flyers· success can be credited to the defense.

The defense has not given up a touchdown all season and has held opponents to a total of only three points.

The last time a Dayton defense has held iL~ first three opponents to three points or less was 1942. In

addition, the Flyers have caused 11 turnovers and have held opponents to one first down and 51 total yards in the first quaners of this season's games.

In the latest NCAA Division III statistics, the Flyers rank first in pass efficiency defense, eighth in total de­fense, and in a tie for third in scoring defense.

Mt. St. Joseph, which plays in District 22 of NAIA Division II, comes into the game 1-2.

The Lions are led by third year head coach John Pont. The name should sound familiar to football fans: Pont has coached at Miami Univer­sity ofOhio (l 956-1962), Yale Uni­versity ( 1963-1964 ), Indiana Univer­sity (l 965-1972) and Northwestern University ( 1973-l 977). He was na­tional coach of the year in 1967, when he led Indiana to the Big Ten co­championship and the Rose Bowl.

Pont began Mt. St. Joseph's foot­ball program in 1989.

"We have made progress and are doing better," Pont said. "We have attracted more players every year. We are young and new, but we want to win and we can win."

The Roman Numerals question format, some­times called Triple True/False, has not appeared on the LSAT since February 1991.

The Lions won their season opener with an upset over Tiffin University 17-14.

However, the Lions dropped their next two games to Georgetown Col­lege, 60-8, and Cumberland College, 35-14.

Deadlines are approaching for the following Department of Recre­ational Sports' fall activities. For more information or to pick up an application to participate, contact the Intramural office at x2396.

"We started out well in both games," Pont said. "The players are still learning what it is all about, but they are moving along in good fash­ion."

The Georgetown contest proved extremely costly to the Lions, as they lost four offensive staners to injuries.

Junior running back Jason Jack­son and junior tight end Jeff Langdon suffered broken bones and are out for the season. Jackson led the team in rushing at the time of his in jury, while Langdon led the team in total recep­tions.

Junior quanerback Rob Paff was also sidelined in the game with a shoulder injury. Although he is not out for the season, he will miss Saturday 'scontest. Paff threw for nine touchdowns and I, 155 yards in 199 l.

"It'sashameRobPaffcan'tplay," Pont said. "He was backup to UD's Steve Keller in high school. It would have been interesting to see them play one another."

Junior flanker Jay Polk was also injured in the Georgetown game but will be available for the Lions if needed.

Pont said the Lions will learn a lot from playing the Flyers.

"Dayton is a measuring stick for us," Pont said. "We have lots of play-ers with experience, but they are still maturing. Dayton has speed and we lack speed in the skill positions. We are still one year away."

Pont said he would like to stan a crosstown rivalry with the Flyers. Mt. St. Joseph is located in Cincinnati.

"I'd like to see a Cincinnati-Day-t.onrivalry stan,"Pontsaid. "I believe in rivalries, and ourteams are in close proximity to one another to have one."

Lady T=iyers look to regroup after disappointing weekend Mike Zegarskl ASS&STltHT SPORTS EDITOR

Before Thursday"s game against Wright State University, the UD Women's Soccer team swod 3-2-1 after a somewhat disappointing week­end of play.

After fighting through double ovcnimc Saturday. the Lady Flyers settled for a 2-2 tic with the Univer­slly of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Although they outshot Wiscon­sin-Milwaukee 23-6. the Lady Flyers were u nahlc to conven on several offensive opponumtics.

Head coach Bill Glisson said he was impressed with his team"s effon hut di•;appointed with the tic.

"This 1, a game that we should have won," Glisson said. "It's not ti at we llidn't play well. We just couldn't convert on offense and put the hall in the net:·

Senior forward Di,uic Coleman led UIJ's offense 1n the game. Coleman scored hoth Dayton goals with ,t,,i ,ts from first-year midfielder

Holly Young and senior forward Karen Gilles.

Coleman leads the team in scor­ing with 20 points on eight goals and four assists. She is the leading scorer in the MCC and is currently ranked sixth in the nation in scoring.

The Lady Flyers dropped a 2-1 decision Sunday to a talented Univer­sity of Wisconsin-Madison team. Finishing last season as the NCAA Division I national runner-up, the Badgers came lO Dayton ranked 10th in the nation.

Despite the loss. Glisson said he was encouraged by the way his team played, especially in the second half.

"We're not disappointed with the loss," Glisson said. "We were in this game until the end against a great team. The second half may well have been the best soccer we ·ve played all year."

Glisson said he hopes this type of play will continue when the Lady Flyers meet Niagara University to­night in Cleveland and when they host fifth-ranked North Carolina State University Sunday at lp.m.
